April 18, 1996 <br />City of Little Canada Council: <br />In response to the proposal to rezone the property on Sylvan St. and Co. <br />Rd C from R -1 to R -2, I am opposed to this change. <br />On March 14th the Little Canada Planning Commission met to discuss this <br />issue with the neighborhood. The commission did not approve of this <br />change, and the residents were also opposed to changing this residential <br />community into a rental area. <br />This matter will come in -front of the Council for your decision. <br />I understand it was postponed, until drawings could be created of the rental <br />units, and the builder talk to the neighbors. <br />I think this is confusing the issue, once the area is re -zoned anything <br />can be built as long as it fits the zoning code. <br />It does not make sense for the council to disrupt the current single family <br />neighborhood on Sylvan when two blocks away there is a similar lot, in a <br />rental area that would not have to be re -zoned for the builder. <br />Sylvan street is a single family residential street, that is why I purchased <br />property there. <br />I have seen what can happen to a neighborhood with multi- family rental <br />units. <br />I don't feel it is fair that a neighborhood be altered in such a way that <br />could possibly change the life styles of those living there. <br />Sylvan St. propertyswner <br />/ <br />Jim Gustafson <br />Page 20 <br />
