UPDATED INFO: 6-UNIT PROPOSAL AT 694 ROOSEVELT
*** The Committee of Adjustments meeting is now March 20***
ARE YOU OPPOSED TO UNREASONABLE INTENSIFICATION?
A developer is proposing to build two triplexes (6 units) at 694 Roosevelt Avenue. We are against this over-intensification for several reasons, including that it would set a precedent for future development. These could be built everywhere. We are looking for you to join us.
HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:
- Learn more. See the developer’s application and other info on our shared drive:

- Email: cofa@ottawa.ca cc: jeff@kitchissippiward.ca (copy our Councillor Jeff Leiper’s office on all correspondence) OR
- Mail: Committee of Adjustments, 101 Centrepointe Dr, Nepean, ON K2G 5K7
- Make your comments as personal as possible, with all the ways this development would impact you and your property. If you are comfortable with the minor variances arguments, use those! Some other ideas include: how it would affect privacy, street parking, noise, lighting, drainage, loss of green space, traffic, safety of children, precedent for future developers
