Another point to consider 4¢ what markat there is for additional Tight
andustrial space given the amount of similar light industrial development
which has recently occurred along Kingsway Avenue, Broadway and the Nary Hill
Bypass. It also seems to me that some of the existing buitding at 1870 McLean
has remained unoccupied.

Evxom a purely visual standpoint, 1 do not feel that any industrial development
regardless of its design will serve to enhance this main entry into our
residential neighbourhood. Mr. Felip has also indicated that any new
residants will face 4 two storey blank concrete wall. While that may be true,
potential owners will make their decision on whether or not to purchase
knowing that fact. In that regard, it may be an the developer's own interest
to mitigate that situation by providing 4 fenced berm and planting trees ta
help screen or at 1east reduce the impact of that existing wall. Regardless,
any new owner would have that opportunity.

Finally, {am concerned that given the limited frontage on MeLean Avenue, 4

light industrial project would likely access loading bays directly off of

Taylor Street which the residents find unacceptable in view of the number of
gmali children living +a the immediate vicinity.

Tt ) conclude, 1 do not feel that Mr. Felip has provided any compelling reasons
not to amend the Community Plan and support rezoning to RS-2. On the other
hand, any light andustrial development on the subject property will only serve

- to detract from the quality of life in this neighbourhood. : mo
