Residents living around a proposed hotel project in Lake Country do not want the development in their neighbourhood.

The application proposes a six-storey building with 52 units and two commercial spaces at 11511 Turtle Bay Court, at Woodsdale Road. At a Nov. 5 public hearing, residents voiced concerns about increased traffic, parking congestion, and pedestrian safety.

香蕉视频直播淥n Woodsdale Road, right opposite another hotel that香蕉视频直播檚 already been rubber-stamped, it香蕉视频直播檚 going to be a traffic nightmare, let alone a parking nightmare,香蕉视频直播� said Cal Wiebe, who lives opposite the proposed development.

He was referring to a four-storey, 28-unit building planned for 1506 Turtle Bay Court at Woodsdale and Seymour roads that went to public hearing on Jan. 9 this year. The property was in February.

Wiebe added that he香蕉视频直播檚 relieved he doesn香蕉视频直播檛 own one of the under-construction townhomes (Lakeside Estates) across the street on Woodsdale.

香蕉视频直播淭hese guys want to put a six-storey right in front of their three-storey, I香蕉视频直播檇 be pissed. It doesn香蕉视频直播檛 belong here, it香蕉视频直播檚 not a good fit.香蕉视频直播�

Seymour Road resident Ralph Rasmussen was also concerned about potential traffic and parking issues in the area.

香蕉视频直播淢y car has been hit and run, my neighbour香蕉视频直播檚 fences have been hit and run,香蕉视频直播� he said.

Rasmussen also expressed concern over a potential increase in boats and trailers, as the proposed hotel is 220 metres from Wood Lake. Council is being asked to rezone the property at 11511 Turtle Bay Court from small-scale multiple housing to tourist/commercial.

Staff told council that only 0.4 percent of district land is designated for future tourist/commercial use and that projects suited to that zoning, as well as multi-unit residential projects, are encouraged along Woodsdale Road.

The applicant's representative, Stephen Duke, made a brief presentation at the public hearing noting the project will likely change several times before applying for a development permit. Comments made by residents were not addressed.

At council's Oct. 16 meeting, councillors Tricia Brett and Todd McKenzie voiced concerns about the development's potential on nearby Middle Vernon Creek.

Council voted to give third reading to rezone the property to tourist/commercial.
