For developers to design something that's so blatantly against what the Plan recommends and to just assume that the City will allow it if they get paid an extra million dollars...this is something that has to stop if we're going to have a future downtown that we love!

Firstly parking is already tough enough at present and I do not see provisions in their proposal for 2 stalls per unit in house. Secondly daily or weekly renters being allowed in the Monaco, would almost certainly, thrash the neighborhood and create noise issues.

The so-called gift is no more than a public backhander showing the council can be swayed ,just rhe same as the other waterfront towers. If they set a height limit have the balls to stick to it.

Why is it common practce to obtain project approvals and then immediately return to the city for numerous variances to that accepted initial development plan. Developers are often nothing more than sleight of hand artists. Put a stop to this lunacy, don't let it start in the first place. What is the point of al the time and effort put into the OCP & zoning if it is meaninglless?

Any development of this magnitude that is so far out of what the bylaws and zoning requirments allow should be rejected right from the start. As well, buildings of that size could be very dangerous to occupants in case of major fire, earthquack etc. if allowed to be so close to other buildings. The laws were made for a reason, use your heads and stick to them.

The towers will cause shadows and wind tunnels and be quite unsightly. Residents bought into the Madison and spent thousands of dollars - now the builders/developers are totally ignoring the effect the proposed two towers will have on the residents. Using "bribery" to pay the City money for "causes" is, to me, unethical.

It would stick up as a sore to the eye, cause traffic congestion and many other problems. This is not the right way to develop this area. Anyone with a common sense should oppose the project as currently designed. The footprint and height should be significantly reduced.

The Monaco Towers variance requests do not come close to respecting the OCP (note the 11 significant variance requests). I implore Mayor Gray and council to respect the OCP, the City Planners, and our community by rejecting the development variance permit. Appropriate development can be achieved on this site by following the strategies set out in the OCP.
