Message
It is grossly unfair to expect affected residents to comment on a development and/or rezoning they are allowed zero information on.
I have .66 acre of carefully maintained Garry Oak Meadow on the south border of the development. I do not want it to become de facto park space for the population that will be jam‐packed into the 52 acres. Please ensure there is a substantial barrier‐‐an 8' concrete fence for example.
I gather that there will be no natural space to speak of in the development. The original plan for that area included a "Pacific Hills Park". Please have it put back in the plan. It may well be why they took it out‐‐so they would have something to bargain with.
Tiny Paisley Park at Selby Place is already crowded in the summer. What is going to be done to provide swimming access for the tens of thousands of people that are moving to this area?
There are some lovely Garry Oak plant communities in this area. It would make Langford a better place if some of it were preserved.
Do not allow Goldstream Avenue to become part of the access to this development. The noise of street racing in Langford already keeps me awake at night.
Thank You,
Cynthia Brossard
