I'll agree that they're doing a good job trying to ease our concerns. I don't think the renderings look accurate, simply because the trees are all the same size, the escarpment seems taller and so far, they all show a retaining wall at the brow. They have said they haven't actually designed the building yet, and the architect does claim to be sensitive to the surroundings, so perhaps I'm wrong and it will all be fine. I will say that the property owner has hired professionals to develop it for him. It all seems to be another day at the office for them. Still, if it was scaled down a bit, higher end and a beautiful design I'd be much happier with whole thing.

I think it's important to continue to remind the developer how important this site is to the neighbourhood. Civic engagement and all. Trees die, get diseased, lose their leaves, fall over and get cut down. Claiming it will be hidden by vegetation seems pretty weak. The buildings themselves need to fit into the escarpment and add to the vista.
