Windsor Park residents are worried a proposed five-storey apartment building will irrevocably change their quiet neighbourhood.
If approved without changes, the development will be built over three residential lots between 724 and 728 55 Ave. S.W."I find it devastating, really. It's just too extreme for this street," said Lorena Bulcao, who lives directly across the street from the site.
Kevin Leitch, who lives adjacent to what will be the eastern wall of the proposed building, is concerned about the shadow the building will cast across his property. "A 42-foot tall building that is now going to run from the front of our property to within 10 feet of the back alley is going to be one large, massive block of a building," he said.
"So that completely removes any privacy. I mean, you don't expect privacy in your backyard, but then you don't expect people sitting there looking down at everything that you're doing in your yard," he said.The proposed development was made possible after a zoning change in 2018.
