I oppose this degree of subdivision for this site.
To fit 5 lots on this site would require each lot to be much smaller than those around it, which I estimate to vary from about 800m2 to 4000m2. This is not keeping in the character of the neighborhood and sets a precedent.
An additional 5 lots on this site increases potential residences on Afton Street from 9 to 13, an increase of 45%. Afton street is a rural road not suited to large volumes of traffic.
Removal of vegetation will potentially be great in order to fit a potential 4 - 5 dwellings on this site. Removal of vegetation is not in the character of the area and detrimental to our wildlife.
