I agree that a seven-storey apartment complex should not be built in this small, quaint residential area. There is enough large buildings all around the North End encroaching on this space already. Don't put one inside!

Ignoring R-1 designation opens the door to developers and businesses to do as they please in ALL areas of HRM.

Agree - this does not fit with the residential neighbourhood, nor with R1 zoning, nor with Centre Plan.

If developers are given approval to change the R-1 zoning designation in a residential neighbourhood, without the support of the area residents ...what is the point of the zoning designation in the first place? R-1 is R-1 and needs to be upheld!

There are way too many high-rises in the North-end now. No more need to be added anywhere. WE MUST STOP THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT.

As a Hydrostone neighbourhood resident, I strongly appose these sorts of developments - completely ignorant of the scale and character of the streetscape.

makes no sense. I'm disappointed the trustees sold to a developer.

We are new to the neighbourhood and are concerned about this present proposal. We support the community's interest in an appropriate development plan that fits in with the unique and historic character of the area. If possible, a smaller condo complex using the existing foundations and facade of the United Memorial Church might have some potential. There are many examples in Halifax of developers renovating heritage properties into modern living spaces that fit within the character of unique neighbourhoods such as the Hydrostone.

This proposal sets yet another negative precedent for future development in the North End. To insert a building of this size in the midst of an R1 zone completely ignores the intent of this zoning. The proper course would be to complete the detached home format of the street not what is being proposed!

We are zoned R1 and the proposed building certainly would not fit in.

Living in this neighbourhood for the last 37 years, I believe a 7 story apartment is more objectionable. I enjoy the new density of the area along with the commercial businesses that are here now. I fear a 7 story apartment in the middle of our neighbor would distroy the community spirit that is part of this area.

I have given my extensive reasons for objecting for this proposed development on my feedback form which I filled out at the Atlantica presentation, with my name, phone number, and e-mail.

When developers purchase R1 properties what makes them think they can have it changed regardless of the local sentiment? Or the city bylaws and plans to meet their greed ?

This R1 designated area from Young across to Russell and between Gottingen and Devonshire comprises single family dwellings which should not be spoiled with a 7 storey apartment building - there are many of these being erected at the top end of this small residential enclave and we do not want them spreading down into the heart of these classic homes.

Lived in this hood for years and have seen it grow and prosper but this last while it is getting turned into a too dense population. No need ruin it with another giant structure to feed the developers addiction.
put it elsewhere.
