Please say no to the proposal to change the 40% greenspace dedication to "open space" dedication. My understanding is that currently only 10% of the required 40% parkland has been dedicated and that the developer is seeking to change the definition so that they can include things like engineered fill slopes, grass (astroturf?) medians and boulevards, and even the YMCA and adjacent Park & Ride parking lot. This is completely unacceptable. The developer should not be allowed to fall short of their original promises. This type of backtracking on commitments seems to be common in Langford where many things are promised like setbacks, greenspace, number of houses/townhouses/apartments, etc. but then later applications take them away. Please send a message to developers that they will be required to keep their promises. I request that this letter be provided to the planning committee as a late submission and be part of the package forwarded to council. Thank you for your attention.
