RE: FILE NO. OPA No. 44 

The proposed development would remove the single family homes located at 523, 529, 535 and 537 Thorold Road and replace them with 250 residential units consisting of two 4 storey buildings and two 9 storey high rise apartment buildings.

This developer not only wants to change the zoning from LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL/ CORE NATURAL HERITAGE to HIGH DENSITY, but they also are applying for a site-specific amendment that would allow 207 units per net hectare which is 40% higher then high density zoning even permits in Welland!

We the signatories of this petition oppose this zoning change and any development of high rise buildings on these lots.
