Dear Sir:

Re: Proposed Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2257

I have received the notice of Public Hearing regarding the above zoning
changes, and must set out my concerns regarding the proposed zoning for
Lincoln Avenue, west of Ulster Street.

My family has owned Lats 18 and 19 on Lincoln Avenue for approximately the
last 14 years. In February of 1984, I approached the City to build Single
family dwellings on these two lots, as well as asking if it would be
possible tu purchase Lot 20 from the City. We own a construction business
and we were willing to install the road and services on Lincoln to make
these properties marketable. ‘I spoke with a Mr. B. Kirk and he said that
he did not feel it would be desirable for the City to allow us to build
Single family on these lots, but I should put my question in writing and he
would look into it. We received a reply from Mr. R. A. Freeman dated April
lath, 1984, which I am enclosing. In his reply it was stated that all 6
iots (15 te 20 inclusive) would have to be rezoned to allow for some form
of townhouse complex to meet the Councils approval for the sale of lot 20.
At that time we approached Mrs. Janet Lundrie, the owner of Lots 15, 16,
and 17, if not to purchase then to acquire an option on her property to
alicw for us to go ahead with the purchase from the City and the subsequent
rezoning. She was not in a position to deal on these properties due to
family reasons. I wrote Mr. Kirk again on June 4, 1984 stating the problem
with Mrs. Lundrie and also asking if it would be possible to purchase two
lots to the east of Lot 20, which were Lots 21 and 22 prior to the
consolidation of the City property to the east. I received a reply on June
12th 1984, stating this would not be acceptable at that time.

I have over the years, stayed in touch with Mrs. Lundrie and had hoped that
we could, in time, go through with this development.

The group which purchased the large parcel to the east of ours now owns
"Lets 21 and 22" and I would like to point out that the price they paid for

mmensurate with the square footage price we had agreed to
for Lot 20, three years ago.
