We have 2 Main Goals;

1. Have H&R Developers, City Planning & DARA working together on any proposals that fall within the current zoning & by laws, and that all proposals are in the best interests for all parties.

2. To agree to clear guidelines reducing the impact of construction for the health of the community.

Overview:

H&R Developers proposal is to leverage the existing land at 70 Dixfield Dr to add, in addition to the current building, 3 - 3 story buildings & 1- 6 story building consisting of a total of 88 New rental properties - Impacts of this range from - Changes to the Current Zoning & By Laws, Loss of views, Lighting, Increased strain of infrastructure, Increased traffic patterns, Safety for pedestrians/bicyclists.

A 4% reduction to current and proposed parking, reducing the overall visitor parking in addition to tenant parking having only 1/unit - Impacts of this range from Increased road parking, Increased police control for ticketing.

A New formal laneway to be added from The West Mall into 70 Dixfield Drive in addition to the current entrance from Dixfield - Impacts of this range from - Safety of tenants property, Pedestrian safety, Traffic flow & Short cuts.

Opposed to this development. 38 matures will be cut down with 19 trees 'injured, increased traffic, more air pollution, street parking due to developer not providing enough parking for tenants, unsafe for pedestrians especially children and physically challenged. This amendment should not be permitted. It will change our now healthy neighbourhood that we have a right to.

The densification of the 70 Dixfield property will mean over-crowding, a severe lack of parking, loss of greenspace and traffic congestion.

I am oppose this development very very strongly. The additional traffic will impact all of the current residents in a very negative way, not only those on Dixfeild but also Welleswroth and specially The West Mall. There are currently 2 large complexes on the West Mall and traffic is already maxed out. The road is in terrible condition and to add to the added congestion would be detrimental to all of the near by residents. During winter month getting in and our of the The West Mall has many challenges given the snow removal is not done on a timely basis. The added pressures of winter months, current poor road condition, additional residents into this very small already congested area would not be helpful to anyone and extremely challenging for us that live here daily. There are many elderly folks and people with disabilities that roam these local streets, not to mention a large number of school age children and local school buses that use these local street, that would continue to cause congestion and dangerous traffic situations for our resident and this neighborhood. Once again I am strongly opposed to any further developments for this very small already congested and over populated area.
