Too high.
It should remain the same height as the existing building.
It will block our view.
The development should be no higher than the current building.
It is imperative that all vehicular access be kept as per the present situation, and that no parking spaces are lost from Major Street or Moore Street.
I must say the current building is the ugliest building in the street if not the suburb. But the blatantly attempt to push the development well over the allowable limits is outrageous. Particularly the variation on open space amounts, deep soil etc. No development should be allowed to consume so much of the lot with hard surfaces. If this get through someone is not doing the correct job.
The build is too high. It should not be able to go past the height it is now. I would assume it will block a lot of light to the exisiting buildings around it. And it will definitely block winter sun to our place.
The proposed 3 storey build is 2 metres higher than allowed.
The comparison with the 3 storey build at 5-7 Major St is not justified as that building is more than a metre below street level at the front.
There are no plans for common areas outside.
The FSR has been elevated by suggesting that 2 units will be available for affordable community housing.... not sure how this is enforced ???
The privacy for residents at 5, 3 and 1 Major St will be compromised as the 3rd storey will look directly over these properties.
The excavation of the basement is concerning considering the amount of groundwater run off experienced in this area and the fact that groundwater may be redirected adversely.
The suggestion that neighbouring properties will not have their sunlight , privacy and views impacted by the third storey is not true.
