4 From: Shayna Lavoie [mailto:sllavoie hotmail. com] Sent: Monday, January 15, :12 PM To: Andrea Woodrow Subject: Proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision for 2627 Grand Tamarack Crescent To whom it may concern, My husband and I purchased our newly built home at 3568 Shadow Creek Road on May 19, To say that we were shocked to receive this application would be an understatement. We lived in Barrie for 11 years and moved out of town for the specific purpose of getting out of town and into a more rural area where we could have peace and quiet as well as more room for our family. I am upset that I had to find this out via letter as I feel that our builder (Bayou Developments) should have told us his intentions to build townhouses in the general vicinity of our new home. hlad I known this I would not have purchased our home. This is a quiet residential area with nice families that keep to themselves and respect the neighbourhood. I don't have to worry about forgetting something outside and that is a great feeling. I moved 40 minutes away from Barrie for that reason and to be told not even a year after moving to this wonderful community that there is a possibility that townhouses will be built here is quite upsetting. Townhouses lower the property value of nearby homes and it is not without reason. The lower price of these homes bring with them a string of problems including many young children and young adults not to mention lots of cars parked all over the street and a significant amount of traffic. I know that money talks but I feel that I have the right to be heard and have the right to say that I am strongly opposed to passing this by-law that would allow all kinds of low income individuals to enter into this quiet neighbourhood. Look at any neighbourhood that has passed by-laws of this kind and you will see the pattern of housing prices in the surrounding area dropping as well as partying and noise violations not to mention other violations. I hope that you will take all of this into consideration before you make a decision that is clearly all about money. Sincerely. Shayna Lavoie/Kevin Mahon owners of 3568 Shadow Creek Road G-4 Page 3 of 10

6 G-5 January 10, 2018 Dear Township of Severn Council members ^t/ /^^ As concerned neighbors of 2627 Grand Tamarack Crescent (Westshore) we are opposed to the proposed rezoning of the property Roll# Zoning Application Z Subdivision application #SV-T-1703 owned by Ontario Ltd, ( Bayou Developments) up for Public Information Meeting January 17, As Noted in the Townships Official Plan Section A2. 3 Settlement Area - Section A : It is the goal of this Plan to protect and enhance the character of existing settlement areas and to maintain them as diverse, liveable, safe, thriving and attractive communities. C) To ensure that the character and stability of existing and well established settlement areas are maintained and enhanced by ensuring that development and redevelopment is compatible, in terms of built form, with the character of adjacent buildings and neighbourhoods and the scale and density of existing development. The Subject property is comprised Acres, it abuts a natural drainage steam and wetlands area. Its zoned Rl in the settlement areas of West Shore. Proposed changes Zoning - Rl to RM1-XX Min lot Frontage from existing 600 m2 to 250 m2 Min Front Yard from 7.5 m to 6m Min Rear yard from 7. 5 m to 2. 96m Lot Coverage from 30% to 46% These major proposed changes will have major impacts on our community. Page 5 of 10

7 We respectfully ask for no zoning change on this parcel not because we are anti-growth but because we are enthusiastic supporters of smart, planned development. Our most compelling reasons include:. The Proposed Rezoning is Inconsistent and fails to conform with existing developments in our stable neighbourhood, it will take away from the current character of the neighbourhood.. Inappropriate use of high-density development in an Area of Stability - The neighborhood in which the rezoning is proposed in an Area of Stability. Yet, the proposed rezoning seeks significant major changes.. The zoning amendment proposal is not minor in nature, the development is too large to be considered a minor zoning by-law amendment. There are many concerns from area residents including privacy, views, spacing, and mass clearing of the forest to which provides an excellent buffer from near by highway noise.. There is also concerns in relation to access, mature trees, traffic, drainage, ground water table and increase of noise.. Concerns of the nearby creek, which currently has drainage issues.. Concerns of an increase in crime and vandalism The Neighborhood Does Not Support this Project I have enclosed a petition from local neighbours and members of this direct community. Page 6 of 10
