COMMUNITY FORUM Chuck Wickson -speaking to Item 1102 Mr. Wickson expressed concern that increased traffic from the proposed townhouse complex during and after construction will damage the driveway and homes of the existing strata complex. He also expressed concern that units in the proposed complex may be rental units and that the proposed design of the development is not compatible with existing townhouses. Henny Bouwhuis -speaking to Item 1102 Mr. Bouwhuis expressed concern over the negative impacts of increased traffic on the existing driveway through the complex, citing that the driveway was meant to allow connection to a single family home and was not built to withstand the traffic coming from a multi-family complex. He was also expressed concern over the impact of heavy truck traffic on the existing complex and driveway during the construction phase of the project. He also questioned the storage of materials in the yard of the proposed development. Keith Henrey -speaking to Item 1102 Mr. Henrey echoed points raised by other speakers. He spoke to the steepness of the road and the impact of large trucks using the driveway and leaving behind mud and materials from a construction site. He stressed the existing strata pays for the maintenance of the driveway connecting the two properties and expressed concern that the developer of the proposed site has not indicated they will share responsibility for the road. He indicated that materials are presently being stored on the proposed development and questioned whether this was legal.
