1. To whom it may concern,

   I'm a current resident @ 3/6 Daintrey Crescent, Randwick. We've owned this property for approx 3 years and have been a resident of Randwick for about 6 years in total. I've recently become aware of the proposed development of the above site and would like to voice a number of concerns relating to the size of the proposed build.

   Whilst I support the continuing development of our community, I believe it's important to retain the culture and feel that's grown over the years. The size of the proposed development is WAY out of character for the area and I must express our extreme concern that the property is grossly over-sized based on the surrounding buildings.

   When looking to buy a property we were attracted to "The Spot" for the vibrant village feel. Every weekend people travel to the area for the safe and interesting restaurants, cafe's, and nightlife. I don't believe a retirement "Super Centre" will add anything to the lovely atmosphere created by the young families and professionals that reside here.

   Specifically my concerns are as follows:

   1. The amount of proposed units is excessive and will completely change the demographic and atmosphere of the area.
   2. The huge scale of the building works will effect all residents and cause months of disruption.
   3. The height of the proposed build is monstrous and will over shadow all units and houses within close proximity. This in tandem with the size of the build will destroy the leafy landscape and dominate the skyline.
   4. I am very concerned our property will decline in value due to the change in the area's demographic. Currently this is a very sought after area because of the character which will obliterated if this request is approved.
   5. Increase in traffic will cause an already congested area to become worse. Regardless of underground car parks visitors will continue to park on our street. This is proven every night with movie goers failing to use the Wilson car park.

   As a financier, I understand the need for development better than most. I'm certainly not opposed to the site being developed but we must keep in mind the effect on current residents and rate payers. The people in this district have worked hard to build a supportive and close-nit community. I think we deserve a development that's going to match the character and spirit of the surrounding area's.

   I thank you for your consideration of the above.

   Kind regards
