I'm not entirely opposed to densification if it's done responsibly. For instance, all property owners with lanes might wish to have a garage with a suite over it. Developments of this sort have the potential of doubling density with the added advantage of secure vehicle storage and fitting within the municipal service infrastructure.

I purchased my home over 35 years ago on a street with R1 zoning because that's the type of area I wanted to live in. This new bylaw destroys everything that was based on. I feel I have been betrayed. On top of that adjacent landowners are not notified when these permits are issued. When we do find out the permits are misleading, calling 8 units 4 units with 4 basement suites. This is once again deceitful. When these areas were developed utilities were designed based on zoning, they were not designed for adding 8 unit complexes on single family lots. Are developers going to make a killing and then taxpayers left footing the bill for utility upgrades, There are also major issues with parking, residential streets already have parking issues yet on-site parking is not required. Where will they go during snow clearing a d where will they park when there are windows on the street. This will be a total disaster.

In Greenfield we have a lineup of vehicles early mornings when people go to work and school busses pass by our house due to the LRT and the lights shifting we are receiving CO'2 early mornings. Also,There are new developments in Michener park area and we have seen a lot of housing build very quickly. The volume of vehicles will probably be a big problem. Because there is already a problem Now of communities beyond Ellerslie that commute to the North on a one lane by Twin Brooks and with the LRT building over the bridge is a traffic mess. Vehicles commuting on 119 st (mitchener park area) is also very busy. I hope a lot of thought was given and planning before agreeing on building massive buildings.

There are 3 8-plexes planned to be built within 2, 3 and 4 houses away from my residence. This is absolutely outrageous! These buildings are intended to be rented units and there will be zero property management. Research shows that this will lead to a serious increase in crime and violates the City of Edmonton's own infrastructure bylaws. Irresponsible government and corrupt developers.

These developments are absolutely unethical. There is not evev enough space for the number of residents in a given 8-plex to have the garbage/green bins in the designated spaces (EVEN WITH the reductions and accomodations proposed by the COE) - this means that by approving these development the COE is VIOLATING ITS OWN BYLAWS!!!!!. The Parkview neughboutrhood is one of MANY areas NOT designed for dense street parking and the traffic volume that will be added. The City will end up regretting these decisions in the long run when they see the financial burden these developments will be creating on the longer run. It is irresponsible to the residents and irresponsible to tax payers.

I want the city Council and Mayor to think about the infill zoning bylaws from a owner resident's position. Large multi-unit buildings do not belong in the middle of neighborhoods. I am a taxpayer that deserves more respect.

We moved into this mature neighborhood because of trees and front lawns AND the absence of "parking lots" full of cars on the streets. On the west side of 149 st just a couple of blocks away is an empty lot where an apartment building was. PUT UP ANOTHER BUILDING THERE!!!

Infill is great. Necessary. But the current process is broken. Developers are getting permits for 7-8 unit buildings on single family lots. Skinny homes, duplexes, and other responsible development is great for adding density and more homes. Allowing a development permit for a 24 unit building with no/limited parking on 2 single family lots is not.
