Hi
there,
Irv Burke at 80 wagon St.
(corner of Grand Hill Dr.) I am a former director of the SGCA Association and
wanted to bring the Association members up to date on the empty lot at the
corner. It seems that Canuck Properties (that owned the small sliver of a lot at
the very corner (where the car wash was going to go) is now the full owner of the whole lot. They bought the large
section of land from Kings Buffet (next to Century 21)
recently.
Take a look at the plan
for the lot. They are putting up quite a few buildings that include a bar with
patio, a drive thru, a gas station, and many parking spots at the back next to
the homes on Grand Hill and Wagon Street. All this being kept in by a 5
foot fence??
Gord and Daphne Nicholls
and Doug Brunton from the Grand Hill Association are active in following up with
the Scott Patterson the local architect, as well as with city councillor John
Gazzola. They're concerned with pollutants leeching into the water table as they
are on wells in the Grand Hill neighbourhood- a very real
concern.
As neighbours bordering
the site (Including the folks on Baden Crt.) we should also be concerned with
the pollution aspect as well as the noise that a bar, drive thru and gas
station will give off at all hours of the day. Also, lighting is a big factor
from both the parking lot and the cars that will use the back spots.
Furthermore, the whole of Deer Ridge should be concerned with the traffic
making a quick right into the plaza from Deer Ridge Drive. There's a
potential for rear end accidents for sure.
There will be a meeting in
a week or 2 for all concerned neighbours with the architect to get informed and
voice their opinions. We will update the date and time when we have firm
plans.
WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT
EVERYONE IS INTERESTED IN SEEING BUILT IN THIS PLAZA -ALSO WHAT ARE YOU DEAD SET
AGAINST?
KINDLY FEEL FREE TO
CONTACT IRV BURKE @ interspanauto@rogers.com.
Thanks!
Irv
Burke
