8. COMMUNITY FORUM
David Wilson
Mr. Wilson expressed concerns with respect to Item 1103, DVP/025/07. He stated
that the variances requested would allow for a house design which is unsightly, does
not fit in with the neighbourhood and will devalue surrounding properties. He is not
against the proposed subdivision presented to the neighbourhood in 2005 and felt
the original design should be adhered to.
Jay Loh
Mr. Loh stated his concerns with respect to Item 1103, DVP/025/07. He is not
against the development as originally presented, however, felt that the current design
is a townhouse design and will place a much higher building next to his house. He
asked that options be looked at to build houses which will be in harmony with the
existing neighbourhood.
David Wilson
Mr. Wilson expressed that the current subdivision design, particularly the Type G
house layout, has the appearance of a townhouse development and is not the design
promised. He asked about the option of widening lots to allow for a type of house
which will fit with the fo m-a of the subdivision and the neighbourhood.
