Dear Susan Rauth:

RE: Development Variance Permit No. 29/93
For 1749 Myrtle Way

We live beside 1749 Myrtle Way, and we are writing to oppose
any development variance for that address and any other in
our neighbourhood. We would like to voice our opposition
at the July 26th council meeting, but we will be out of town
on that day.

We bought into this neighbourhood seven years ago because,
among other things, we liked the character of the location.
We believe that changes in development around here would
take away from the qualities of the neighbourhood. There
are beautiful trees here that we wish to keep. There are
Fair-sized lots for our children to play on.

Changes in development will necessarily mean more houses,
more people, and more cars. We already have enough cars
around here. There is a school one block away, and a
pre-school less than a block away, and those businesses
already attract enough cars.

We can understand a need for housing, but with new areas
opening up, such as at the corner of Coast Meridian and
Lougheed, we don’t think there is a need to start squeezing
us in like sardines.

To re~state, we appreciate the beauty of our neighbourhood
as it is, we are opposed to any variance in development.

Sincerely,

Moyra Thompson \TEM PAI Michel Gendron
