Thanks Brian. Where can I find transcript Speaker #20 (June 29th) Christina Doyle (?) - mother & engineer who talked about the dangers caused by the Emergency Vehicles entrance on 7th Ave. - *Driver Overload* congested, narrow street Arbutus St., with controlled crossing, subway station foot traffic, bus loop, Arbutus Greenway bike traffic, pedestrian traffic, *also 7th Ave. 8s an active bike route. Not to mention all the 450 school children & also mom's with toddlers from Delamont Park. As well many disabled & elderly live nearby and travel along these routes.
Also would like to see transcript #16 Mr. Cooper (?) - Architect knows Washington state & Oregon too. *Too Tall building. Hatched (?) Area is only 2ft. from property line. Arbutus St. Is not a major artery, it's not a Hibh Street. There should be setbacks. The vertical tower face does not have buffer zone cantilevers (?). No other spot has this. Built Form is against all zoning bylaws. (*for good reasons). Narrowness does not allow buffers. Tall part must be set back.
9 foot units floor to floor. Not saving money. Prefab is not necessarily faster or cheaper.
It would be much better at 4 or 5 stories, 65 units spread over full site, much cheaper at $300-$400 per unit.
Also #111 Bill McGraw (?) 15 years experience manager at St. Marks Extreme Weather Shelter, & Kitsilano Community Centre Showers. Says "Most street people in Kitsilano have alcohol addictions & don't want to get involved with drug users."
Design for intended Community, find 6-10 properties.
Said there has been no consultation with addiction services, Police, or narcotics.
Reduce size & increase setbacks.
Build mix of apartment sizes for mixed population.
He is opposed. Says City would be setting a bad precedent if it gives in to the Province's ultimatum of Take It or Leave It. City is being put in handcuffs & held hostage. Don't give in to bullies!
