• Not Minor in Nature: Argue that a commercial service bay is not a "minor" deviation, but a massive change in land use, violating the test of a minor variance.
• Intent of Official Plan: Argue the site is zoned for residential, not heavy commercial/industrial use, and this violates the neighborhood's Official Plan.
• Negative Impact: Document noise pollution, fumes from exhaust, toxic chemicals, increased traffic, and safety concerns, showing it impairs residential enjoyment.
• Lack of Necessity: Prove that the applicant can use their property efficiently without this specific variance.

As an owner at 30 Baseball Place, I am strongly opposed to this development. The noise, pollution, and litter (specifically cigarette butts discarded by DAG workers in our residential area) are unacceptable. This is not how we want our community to be defined.
DAG has consistently created issues for the “community building” we moved into. Between constant noise that extends beyond noise bylaw hours, the employees leaving their litter and cigarette butts around the property, and employees consistently creating safety issues by leaving doors open, an additional DAG property would be an unwise investment that will likely lead to residents moving out en-masse.
I oppose DAG taking this space. They already drive recklessly and aggressively in the residential area. There is no 5min stop area for residents as it is we are penalized being ticketed while run groceries etc inside quickly while DAG is parking and stopping causing obstructions without any penalty.
Auto dealerships were no supposed to be a part of this side of the development. Was promised retail, including resturants, grocery stores and cafes as per the builders vision plans. I reject that this is minor variance.
I live in 30 Baseball Place and DAGs continued expansion including taking all the visitor parking which prevented the planned inclusion of a grocery store in 665 Queen, has been a detriment to the people of this community. The increase in traffic has also caused safety concerns for residents and this further expansion will only exacerbate the situation.
We have enough dealerships already for an area with heavy traffic. Kind of ironic...no?
I am signing this petition to voice my objection about the proposed minor variance file A0170/26TEY

I'm confident that the buy-in from owners and renters was not to live in an auto dealership or commercial space, both unrelated to healthy living. There are other more important and appropriate businesses that can be in this space and good luck filling vacancies if the variance occurs. People want health promotion, not living in a garage or show room, which invites risks to health, well-being, and privacy.
