• Engineering has no conditions.[EXTERNAL] Hi, This is in regards to the applications A-004-2021 & A-005-2021 - 2246 Lynn Street. We do not approve of the proposed driveway and separate dwelling on 2246 Lynn St. We have several concerns: - Property value - Part of the appeal and value of the Stroud neighbourhood is the large backyards and the privacy and space we all enjoy, and the distance from our backyard neighbours is a selling feature. People viewing our house will walk into the backyard and see two houses. How is that a good thing for resale value? We can accept a garage being built, but two dwellings is another matter. Especially an oversize one. - This is not a retirement community! If they are wanting something more convenient and accessible for the their parents, they should be looking at Sandy Cove acres, not building an oversize house in the backyard. The decision has to take into account how it affects the neighbourhood as a whole. This will set precedence for others who may be thinking this. - After the parents pass away, what happens to the house? Will it turn into a rental property? That’s even worse for the neighbourhood resale value. - A lot of surrounding neighbours have bon-fires and family get togethers in their backyards, and the smoke does not affect surrounding homes with the large lots. The location of the home will be affected by smoke which I feel will be a major issue with aging parents with open windows in the summer. I’m afraid this will turn into a by-law nightmare with complaints to the town. Again… this is not a retirement community! - The reasons set out for a separate oversize dwelling do not outweigh the downside to the neighbourhood. I think it would be a lot more convenient for everyone if they took the money and renovated their existing house to accommodate their aging parents and Grandmother. Any home can be modified for wheelchair accessibility. Renovate the basement for the in-laws and put a chair lift on the stairs. This would meet their needs and not involve building an oversize retirement home in the backyard, affecting the surrounding neighbours and setting precedence for others. Thank You.
