ALTERNATIVE Affordable Rental Housing Cottages Answered74 Skipped491 If you answered “no” or “maybe” to question 1 (In general, do you support increasing the affordable housing inventory on the Island by allowing full-time residential rental of cottages?), what concerns do you have? RespondentsResponse Date Responses Affordability Density EcoProtection Infrastructure Noise GOVoversight STVRs Traffic Water 1Jul 28 2019 11:56 AM lack of guaranteed affordability 1 2Jul 25 2019 05:43 PM Increased density all over the island. Affordable is not defined, nor how it would be monitored. Excess traffic eg dead end streets, water usage. 1111 3Jul 25 2019 03:54 PM Water availability 1 4Jul 25 2019 12:09 PM We already have considerable water shortages on SSI. 400 additional full time units would significantly impact the water supply 1 5Jul 25 2019 11:04 AM Use of these cottages for AirBnB's increases the economic power of the island, and I'm not sure these cottages should be mandated to be permanent dwellings. 6Jul 25 2019 09:52 AM Increase in density. Infrastructure support. Total lack of other bylaws and oversight to manage many implications of increased density, such as increased logging, noise, litter, etc. which are already a problem. This is a Trust area, it can’t be all things to all people. 1111 7Jul 25 2019 09:35 AM I am concerned about overuse of sensitive aquifers affecting not just the property with the seasonal cottage, but all surrounding residences. I am concerned that increased density in rural areas will change the character of SS. I believe the density increase should take place in the existing "villages" 11 8Jul 25 2019 09:07 AM Water. Total population that can be supported. If yes, then yes for cottages. 11 9Jul 25 2019 08:12 AM Over crowding in already fairly dense communities, water availability, noise, parking, sewage. 11111 10Jul 25 2019 06:17 AM My concerns centre on my riparian neibourhood and the lack of protection afforded the Fulford creek Reed creek area. The general greed by land developers who striped the forests,that after blow downs of the once protected creek forest , leave little standing to the creek edge.purposefull falling of large cedar trees on the creek edge that where buried under a road and bridge over a salmon spawning creek. Massive Dirt trucked into same riparian area. Trucks after trucks of gravel off land. Increased traffic off of a steep mountain road that is impassible in the snow. Increased noice and disruption from building more houses that I see once built would further increase greedy rental prices. This property is a new strata and in recent years our neibourhood was given to believe 8 home shares would be constructed only. Increase of barking dogs. 1111 11Jul 24 2019 08:54 PM That some properties will have more than one seasonal cottage on them and that off road parking will not be available 1 12Jul 24 2019 11:34 AM I answered yes, but I also want to add that my only concern is tha
