Dear Decision Makers and Stewards of UBC and GVRD:

Re: Marine Residential Towers.

I strongly oppose the current proposal for this development. The level of housing is far too dense for the site and the towers will have a profoundly negative impact on viewscapes from the beach and Park, as well as on other Park values. I strongly recommend that UBC use an alternative location or design to reduce the impact of this development on the park and beach. The two 18-storey Phase II towers must be lowered on this site. These towers must not show from the beach because:

They will intrude on the natural beauty of the area which attracts untold numbers every year, along with disrupting the ecology of the area and going against UBC's efforts to make the campus a ‘green' one.

Most sincerely yours,
Matthew Keyse (Student)
