Editor:
I am writing about the plans for a 47-unit apartment building being proposed on 47A Avenue at 48B Street.
This proposal is within the Ladner Area Plan and the proposed density is a significant departure from the existing plan. In fact, it is would be a 36 per cent increase in density from current zoning.
Additionally, the proposal is for five storeys with 76 parking stalls that would be accessed from the lane behind the proposed building. There are no plans to handle the increased traffic.
If this developer is successful in amending the density and height restrictions in the Ladner Area
Plan, then the floodgates will open. Our village and the lovely character of it will forever change - a precedent will be set.
There is an information meeting tonight at 7 p.m. at the Ladner Community Centre. I urge Ladner residents to attend this meeting and let your opinions be known.
