NW Letter 1 Calgary, AB T3A 6G4 Cell: 587-999-5221 Calgary, March 17, 2017 To: Ms. Susan Grey, City Clerk The City of Calgary, IMC #8076 P.O. Box 2100 Station M Calgary, AB T2P 2M5 RE: The Hamptons Pocket Developments LOC2016-0099 Hamptons Bylaw 126D2017 Dear Ms. Grey. Thank you for sending me information about your plans. We would like to express my disappointment to you. We feel cheated since we have purchased our house here, because there is an area which is full of green spaces, there are animals visiting us, and there is comparatively low density of houses (in compare to Royal Oaks and similar NW areas). We are really disappointed that new owners of the golf course want to destroy it all. In result there will be 68 more houses, a part of golf green area with ponds will be gone. Hamptons Drive is already busy in the morning and then there will be even more traffic after this new development. By the way, we would like you to consider "four way stop" at the entrance to Hampstead Rd. This intersection is really dangerous. There are pedestrians, buses, cars, and turning left from Hampstead Dr. to Hampstead Rd. is sometimes very risky. You do try to see if there is fast car going up the hill, on opposite lane, and then you turn left and you may see pedestrians crossing Hampstead Rd. in the last moment. This all situation can be a subject for the separate letter. Coming back to your plans, our neighbours (and possibly us) will lose money because house with backyard facing golf course is valued more. Plus, you will destroy their peaceful view and quiet surroundings. If I would pay so much to have this view and peace and you will propose to replace it with backyards full of screaming kids, neighbours cutting grass, or making loud drinking parties, I will definitely be unhappy. Please take our opinion into consideration, when you will be reviewing QuantumPlace Developments Ltd. application. Put yourself into situation of our neighbours (and ours). You will certainly agree with us. Truly yours, Jadwiga & Piotr Staniaszek c.n CPC2017-125 Attachment 3 Albrecht, Linda Letter 2 From: Tony Van Hoof [avanhoof @shaw.ca] Sent: Monday, March 20, 2017 1:23 PM To: City Clerk Cc: Magliocca, Joe; de Jong, Joshua A.; [email protected] Subject: Notice of Public Hearing BYLAW126D2017 Hamptons Community Re: Change of zoning from special purpose (S-R) to Residential (R-1s, R-1, R-2) - Hamptons Community. I would like to officially object to the above changes on the grounds that it is not in the original design intent of the community ASP, and does not in any way augment the current community. It is also inconsistent with the MDP, specifically for "Green the City", "Good Urban Design", and "Creating great communities". Further, I strongly object to the inclusion of the R-1s designation (Secondary Suites) in the proposal for the following reasons: 1. Our entire community has no current legal R-1s designations. A review of the City's own website shows no legal secondary suites have been approved for the Hamptons. 2. The designation of R-1s was never clearly identified in the City's information poster boards. (The R-1s (jargon) designation was not clearly explained). 3. The proposed development consists of minimal specification width lots which would not support secondary suite parking and secondary suite amenity space. 4. The developer has never indicated that the development would include provision or "rough in" for secondary suites, encouraging more illegal secondary suites. 5. A proposal to change from R-1 to R-1s must be a separate vote so council can clearly make an informed decision.

Shane: Colley-Urquhart, Diane, Demong. Peter Subject: I am opposed to the redevelopment of The Hamptons Golf Course (Bylaw 126D2017) Dear Councillors, I am a resident of The Hamptons in NW Calgary. I am opposed to the redevelopment of The Hamptons Golf Course (bylaw 126D2017), as proposed by QuantumPlace Developments from the consideration of my family, my property, the community and the Municipal Development Plan. Councillors, as selected representatives from voters, we/Hamptons residents ask your help and support to say NO about this application because you represent voters' voice. With this development, I do believe I will not see deer, coyotes, geese and other wild life in my back yard anymore; I will not believe the topic about protecting wild lives, protecting environment, care about voice of the people anymore. From personal side, my house is just back on Golf course and we did pay a premium price for our home because of the abundant green space, wildlife and private view. With QuantumPlace Development proposal, it totally destroys everything we own now. It is incorrect way to sacrifice other benefits to increase QuantumPlace profit. From a community perspective, my family and neighbors oppose the redevelopment with below simple reasons: 1. Hamptons was designed and implemented as a small-scale community with low resident density because of the golf green space has been considered as "public" green space". There are only TWO limited public green spaces, especially on east sector of Hamptons. With the 58 new houses (some house are R2, some house are R-15) of the redevelopment will be built on the east sector of Hamptons. This will remove more of the only-viewable green space from the east section of Hamptons. 1. On east sector of Hamptons there are lacks of pathways. Currently, the east sector of Hamptons doesn't have any accessible pathways. It would become impossible to be able to take a walk along the 'public green space' without driving to another green space in The Hamptons. With more houses were built, it becomes worse. 2. Hamptons has a lack of schools and enough class to handle current kids. My younger son is in Hamptons elementary school and there are 23 kids in one room! The Hamptons has only one school, which can only provide kids from kindergarten to grade 4. With the redevelopment, more kids will need to go to school. Does this redevelopment also consider school accessibility as well? 3. Hamptons has a lack of community driveways that can lead to a road outside of Hamptons. Hamptons has only 3 driveways that can lead outside of The Hamptons. At a rush time, cars pack into the streets and no one can get out of Hamptons quickly. There are so many car accidents in these sections already. Redevelopment will add more traffic pressure to the current traffic. From the Municipal Development Plan (._ perspective, the Municipal Development Plan states that the City seeks development to foster great communities "that provide better places to live, work and play. ... are safe, walkable ... and have the amenities and services needed for day-to-day neighborhood focused living." The Hamptons is currently lacking much of the infrastructure referenced in the MDP. With new development plan, this 1 will cause the whole community environment worse, more crowed. It is totally opposite direction and hope per MDP purpose. As a volunteer, I and my partner have visited and knocked each home owner door on Hamptons Height in the past three days (from May30 to June 1s t)• There are more than 100 homeowners. They are very angary about QuantumPlace Development proposal, and strongly opposite this proposal. They appreciated what we do for Hamptons Community and hope their voice could be heard by city councillors. They are electorate and hope city councillors could be as their back support to help this weak group. I was shocked by a couple of senior home owners feedback; they were such sad about this proposal and only could say: This is incorrect, wrong. City should stop them! As such, we request you to recommend against approval of this proposed land use designation. This redevelopment is not a benefit to my family, my community and further erodes the goals of the MDP. In last year Hamptons community AGM, more than 400 homeowners (because of room limitation, other more than 100 homeowners stayed in lobby) joined in the meeting with 100% of members voted to opposite QuantumPlace Development proposal. Hamptons community association is a legal organization, I do believe you and all councils will represent Hampton community electorates' attitude and benefit. We want to build a nice Calgary together.
