Fairport Beach Neighbourhood Association has been pushing back on in-fill housing(monster homes) for the last 4 years. If you don't let your elected officials know how you feel, just wait till one is built beside you. Then its too late.

We have to be very vigilant in being aware of what’s happening in and around us as we can no longer trust politicians don’t always have our best interest at heart

Established neighbourhoods should not have monster houses

So sad this is happening. My sympathies to those who live close.

This home, as currently designed with the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, is NOT a single family home. It is more like a small apartment building, disguised as a single home. Although we are not against newer larger homes, they should blend in with the existing community and keep with the existing use (single family). With a single garage and driveway, the number of vehicles will likely result in on-street parking, impeding traffic, causing safety issues for neighbours, and blocking snow removal. Please only approve single-family home designs for this long-standing neighbourhood.

Though the City was going to stop the monster homes being built in the established Westshore area. So sad it is happening again. My sympathies for those who live really close.

This will cause parking issues due to multiple families not wanting to jockey cars around to get in and out of driveway and end up blocking street.

With two entrances, this home is being made to split for apartments. Too large , and I am not convinced will benefit the community

These very large home builds end up having 2 to 3 families that live in them (legally?!) and never enough parking. In an area where the streets aren't wide enough, or no sidewalks, this is a challenge.

There are too many large home being built in our neighborhood. We need to stand together to maintain our community.

I am the victim of the same proposal. We bought 3 years ago because we loved the sunlight and privacy in our backyard. Two years later we have a 5000sq ft monstrosity of a house blocking all sun after 930 am - no sun hits our deck. Their deck overlooks our backyard. Construction destroyed our foundation, patio and steps to backyard taking 15 months to repair. Stop this construction.

didn't Pickering sign by-law to prevent this type of re-build in established neigbourhoods?

We should not allow this to happen. Large homes like these obstructed the view of neighboring homes and turn neighborhoods into concrete jungles. They destroy the greenery in the cities which contribute to its beauty.
