lnput From

6225 Longacre Drive
lnput and Staff ResPonse
o Submitted email dated February 3,20t0 (copy attached)
o Concerns expressed regarding proposed high density buildings
opposite his ProPertY
o Concerns expressed regarding buffer zone at Longacre Dr'
o Disturbed by amount of density near his lot as compared to the
rest of the develoPment
o Good green space everywhere else, but not in that particular
area
o Pleased with road changes
o Knows there is a height limit, but the density is too high for the
space allotted
o Will negatively affect his property and privacy factor
o when Development initially presented, "open space" between
new development and old were to be a priority
o Now it seems that changes have been made due to economic
considerations and priorities ignored
o Too high density for area behind his house
o No concerns regarding traffic flow
Staff Response:
o staff are recommending that the minimum and maximum
number of units permitted on the property (site ZB3) referred to
by Mr. Keegstra be reduced from 15 units and 19 units
respectively to 8 units and 13 units. This reduction in units will
provide for less residents, less vehicle movements and more
open space opportunities on the site. Access to the parking areas
for the units will remain from the laneway and not directly from
Longacre Drive. This will result in less vehicle congest¡on along
Longacre Drive.
