I would support a revised development plan for the property with a mix of about 8 Single Family dwellings on the east side of the property and approximately 16 Townhomes to the west side nearest Happy Valley Road. My reasoning for mixed SFD and Townhomes is that the current surrounding development called Katies Pond reflect that land use as do others. Townhomes are most often placed near Happy Valley Road. I also suggest that the large home on the property be moved to another location. It will no longer fit the character of the neighbourhood. Having It surrounded by townhomes is not appropriate. This would also result in the addition of about 4 townhomes, helping the economic viability of the development. Thank you in advance for considering this revised proposal.

Although you have likely by now received a notice from our office indicating that this application will be reviewed by Council’s Planning Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee on January 18th, I expect that this application will be held over to a future committee meeting as the applicant continues to refine the plan of development. I am forwarding your concerns regarding traffic, and signalization to the City’s Engineer, and I am forwarding your concerns about engine brakes to the City’s Manager of Community Safety and Municipal Enforcement. If you have any further questions, comments or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me here. Sincerely, Matthew G. S. Baldwin, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning CITY OF LANGFORD 2nd floor, 877 Goldstream Ave. Langford, BC V9B 2X8 T (250) 474-6919 · F (250) 391-3436 www.cityoflangford.ca P Please consider the environment before printing this email.

Sharon Martin Administration From: csheppt@gmail.com [mailto:csheppt@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, January 04, 2016 1:04 PM To: Langford Administration General Mailbox Subject: Department Directory - Planning - Zoning Z15-0024 and OCP15-0003 You have received an email from Todd Sheppard via the Langford website: Department: Planning Name: Todd Sheppard Phone: 250-415-2784 Address: 1061 Braeburn ave. Topic: Zoning Z15-0024 and OCP15-0003 Message: In reference to the re-zoning application for 3483 Happy valley road. I am against this application. We purchased 1061 Braeburn in July 2014. We were mislead by the developer that ours was the last house in Katie's pond. In Sept of 2014 MCCormick meadows started. Ever since there has been a steady flow of speeders, construction trucks driving over my lawn. ( Rohan Rupf stated they would fix lawn. Never happened.). This developer is constantly misleading perspective home purchasers in order to grow their business. The last thing we need is another 28 town home units jammed into an area that should have 15 maximum. Can the City of Langford think of the future and slow down the development and concentrate on traffic congestion and ensuring builders such as Key Corp and their subs to build proper housing. I am unable to attend this meeting and I am also certain they will be approved as this is just a formality. Very disappointed I moved to Langford.
