Objection to multi level retirement village in Somerville.


Objection to multi level retirement village in Somerville.
The issue
This proposal is out of character for our semi rural town which is predominantly single storey dwellings.
- Misleading advertising for this proposal and unreasonable time frame for lodging objections with only 8 calendar days.
- There is no precedent for a multi level retirement village in the Mornington Peninsula.
- Blocks E and F (3 storeys)are to be situated on the higher elevation of the land and will be visually overpowering on the landscape.
- Increased traffic congestion on Graf Road.
- Drainage from site onto Eramosa Road West has not been addressed.
- Local Fire Brigade is not equipped to handle multi level building fires.
- Staged development will be disruptive to the local community for up to 5 plus years.
- For the next 15-20 years this proposed development will look like an industrial area until trees mature.
- Total lack of privacy for properties on the western boundary.
- Loss of morning sunlight to properties on western boundary.
Please sign this petition to be presented to Mornington Peninsula Council. Have your say in the development of our community.
