Subject: 317 Hardie
I am in receipt of the Notice of Application for 317 Hardie Ave NW. The structure is off set sitting
several feet closer to the N lot line than the S lot line. My concern is though it is likely within the
City's 5 ft. requirement, our neighboring townhouse has 2 ft. bump- outs & mature vegetation. If a
fence is built, it will be 3' from our exterior wall & the new structure 8 feet from our exterior walls.
In the event of fire or other catastrophic event & a need to vacate in an emergency through
windows, the exit would be hindered. Is there a process for requesting the builder to move the
structure South by several feet? The home on the S side sits forward on the lot, further off the lot
line, is much smaller & a single story. There are several more feet on that side to work with. Having
2, 3-story units so close together will put all crammed in with limited space for an emergency & daily
living. We are very happy to see progress being made but are concerned in regard to the minimal
distance between structures.
Also, will this be built as a duplex on one lot sellable
together, a duplex on 2 lots, individually sellable or 2 lots with 2 duplexes? The map appears to me
to be one duplex on one lot but the Notice seems to indicate differently. A clarification would be
helpful.
