Residents concerned the proposed 341-unit development would obstruct view
More than 100 people have signed a petition to fight a proposed residential development on a portion of Surrey’s Eagle Quest Coyote Creek golf course.
“We don’t feel it’s necessary to do it,” Surrey resident John McKitrick, said of the new development.
McKitrick lives in the gated Sequoia Ridge townhome complex overlooking the site.
He’s concerned the proposed 341-unit development would obstruct his view in a neighbourhood that he says is already heavily congested.
“We think it’s terrible to begin with, that there would even be consideration of ripping out groomed green space like a golf course to throw up some high-density housing,” McKitrick said.
Density low, says developer
“There’s [already] a lot of house construction around.”
According to the developer — Anthem Properties — the townhouses and condominiums would take up approximately 6.4 hectares of the 9.7-hectare (24 acres) golf course.
