Some of you have probably noticed the proposed development sign at 13977 - 113 Avenue - developer is proposing "duplex style" homes (whatever that means) - 12 of them to be built on what presently is a four-lot piece of property. They are asking for rezoning. As things are going all around us, I could predict (and only predict) that some will end up with suites in them as well. So the question begs, can this neighbourhood handle 12 more homes and possible suites? If you think about it, that's 12 families and taking a conservative estimate of four members to each family, that equates to possibly 48 more residents on four residential lots. I got a call from a neighbour directly beside the property telling me she has received a letter from the city inviting any comments, etc. in regard to this proposal. Apparently, anyone within 100 metres of this property has received such a letter. I'm hoping we can get a firm date set for the next meeting and can maybe get some flyers circulated as far around the area as possible to get as many on board as we can. The developer obviously won't have to live in the area and face the congestion that will come along with it. Maybe we can get someone from the Clayton Heights Assn. to attend this meeting. I don't know much about Clayton Heights, only that most residents are totally fed up with it. I guess the city doesn't consider our home, a mere five houses away being impacted in any way. I sent my petition in to the city re mega houses and illegal suites and voiced my concern over what was going to happen to that particular piece of property. I received a call awhile back acknowledging receipt of same and advising that it was in the "very preliminary stages." I have not, however, been kept in the loop about the proposal. This proposal needs to be stopped dead in its tracks.
