​Opposition to Proposed Townhome Development on Ramblewood Drive

This site is a natural woodland located within a designated flood region. Due to these environmental constraints, the current road network and community infrastructure are not adequate to support such a level of residential development.

We’ve taken down enough forests in the area. This is a beautiful walking and riding trail that gives a lot of people joy.

Respect the natural wetlands and the forest wildlife!

We have to stop destroying our natural assets. The reason people drive hours to come here is because it's one of the few nearby places where people can come and enjoy nature's beauty. We also don't have industry here or infrastructure to keep up with all these housing developments.

This area is a natural woodland area. It is a flood region. There cannot be that many homes added. The roads and the community do not support this.

I agree the town needs to develop a proper plan for the west end of the beach to deal with the increased number of people before approving further development

The infrastructure must be ready for this proposed high density subdivision and it is not. There is a reason that this land is NOT designated high density. The storm sewers draining into our beautiful clean Georgian Bay, threatening our water quality and beautiful longest fresh water beach in the world should not be impacted by this growth. Although I fear it will. The old and treasured green space of the proposed sight needs to be respected and conserved not raped and leveled. The wildlife needs protection. The traffic is already becoming ridiculous here in the west end of the beach year around. Please reconsider allowing this change of designation.

over 4,000 new units have already been approved in Wasaga Beach the last couple of years, and there are even more in planning or proposed stage, with a disastrous impact on the natural environment and on the well being of current residents. Current infrastructure can's support this population growth and traffic increase. This is UNSUSTAINABLE. This is has to STOP.

No more subdivisions in this area! 58th street has become a highway! The beach drop offs are ridiculous. Traffic congestion, garbage on properties, idling cars. There are also flooding concerns and the impact on wildlife. There are not enough doctors in the area! Enough with the subdivisions!

Respect the tree canopy, the natural wetlands and the wildlife..do not allow this high density plan to go forward!

Trying to make Wasaga Beach a City is not what we need!!!!!’

I already experienced a major flood event on Shore Lane due to the existing houses already at ramblewood, which took place after they were built. There is NO WAY you are responsibly planning for the capacity requirements this new build will require. Traffic, people heading to beach, water runoff, where is the supporting infrastructure? Is this just a high urgency build to take advantage of provincial incentives? This is unfair to existing landowners, and there is NO POLICE, NO BYLAW, and no traffic control in the area, so how can you possibly add more responsibly? I am a waterfront owner and will absolutely plan for legal action if water drainage ruins my property, as already happened once before. This is not a development in alignment with existing community input, and you know that.

Please don’t turn Wasaga beach into another Mississauga or Brampton. Keep the beauty and tree canopy - it’s what brings people to visit and live in Wasaga Beach.

In addition the the concerns mentioned in the petition, one of my other concerns is this un-known home builder/developer will get approval, remove all the trees (as evidenced on Joanne Crescent...paying for road clearing, sidewalk clearing, street lights.) and then the parcel of land sits vacant and stripped of forest for years and years when they can't sell the residents that nobody wants to buy. Besides Joanne Cres look at all the lots already serviced along Mapleside Drive that are sitting vacant. Sustainable development is welcome, but clearing land for the sake of clearing land makes no sense.

This is concerning for our natural habitats, the animals, the ecosystems and the environment. Coyotes are already roaming our streets in surrounding neighborhoods because of all the development. This has to stop! We have more than enough housing for our small town.

We need our free space!! Enough homes already and NO infrastructure!!

This density should NOT be allowed. The present zoning includes the word “hazard” for good reason and should be respected!

Save our natural surroundings and stop all this destruction!

This wouldn’t be a positive addition to our community or environment.

Totally against anything but low density. Town planned on 40 lots +- when the water and sewers were installed in 2016. This area was specifically discouraged from medium and high density growth in the past Official Plan but surprising omitted from the new plan that was passed just a couple months ago! This proposed development wants about 55 exemptions made to the zoning bylaws to allow this to happen. Does not fit into the community or neighbourhoods character.
