[BrianNSara]

Some info i found...

P/08-74, R12/08/YR, Public Meeting, Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment, Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment, Mattamy (Hespeler) Limited, Michigan Avenue/Finch Crescent (Ward 1) (http://cambridge.ca/cs_pubaccess/download_minutes.php?doc_id=4702) Nov 10 2008

Has some pictures of the site....

I think the entire concept of the Mattamy development in this area is hindered by this zoning change. One of the first things that appealed to me in this development was the fact that the townhomes would be built on the outside of community, this fact was pushed by the sales center. But I suppose Mattamy will act out of their own best interest.

I can't seem to get this link to open. Can someone clarify what is happening with the town houses in the development? Part of the reason we bought here was because we could be somewhat isolated from the townhouses and not have them thrown in here and there between the detached houses like our current development. Well that and the fact that the park would be so close to our house. I'm glad to see the park is actually coming along quite nicely :)

This thread helps explain it.

LMAO @ Your message for sure!

HAHA

Yea I know my "LOL" was too short also :)

You guys are so not outcasts!!! You're both one of the nicest people on here! (Does that make sense?)

[justmed]

We're just nice people who happen to have bought a townhouse :D

Just joking around... it was pretty funny though, Diane and I were laughing at the Mattamy U how the guy (whoever it was) talking about the townhomes as 'common element' and it just sounded funny as we were the 'commoners'... just an ongoing joke we have.

I dont know... we even have detached houses in our common element :p

[deonandlindsay]

Uh oh... Now everyone thinks I'm a jerk. Sorry to the townhouse owners. I shall proceed to shut up now.

[justmed]

but... we're closer to the beer store :p

we need a sarcasm font or something :)

[BrianNSara]

Go home........ Dont come near us (Town OwnerS) we have more fun then (DetacherS) anyway...

[smartsexystylish]

Uh oh... Now everyone thinks I'm a jerk. Sorry to the townhouse owners. I shall proceed to shut up now.

Haha no one thinks your a jerk. Everyone on this board is entitled to their own opinions! I'm sure others think the same thing but aren't speaking up about it! Not everyone has to agree :)

[smartsexystylish]

Haha This is true. You can beat me to the beer store!

Should this be in the "Sarcasm" font? (LOL) Otherwise (shakes fist)....... :p

we were certainly not happy when we found out 'detached people' would be in our common element

:eek:

LMAO!

MUCH Better :)
Now I can hear(read) the sarcasm in your voice(post)

[deonandlindsay]

I guess having come from Scarborough where all I ever had were bad experiences with people who were forced to live in such close quarters I am more than a tad biased. In all fairness I don't want my kids to live the same life I did growing up.

[ShaunnNRachel]

Scarborough and Hespeler are like night and day.
I'm sure if people are paying 200,000 plus for a home the neighbours will not be like they are in Scarborough.
I'm from Toronto and even the worst places in Cambridge are so much better than the nice ones in Toronto.

[deonandlindsay]

I lived in Scarborough all my life. It's not as bad as everyone says. There are bad areas and good areas and the best anyone can hope for is to be in a good area... Much like I am hoping that this development remains a good place for a long time as we intend to stay here for the long haul.

[K.C.]

I don't think we'll have any problems with the people living inside the development whether they own a townhouse or a large detached.

I have been reading about bored, restless and broke teenagers in Cambridge breaking into cars to get garage door openers so they can come back later when you're not around to steal anything that might be of value in your garage. They don't seem very sophisticated. Apparently they only break into cars where the doors are not locked!

I plan not to get garage door openers installed until we are settled in and all our furniture has been properly placed inside the house.

I have been having nightmares about bored drunken teenagers coming into the development from outside! I think my imagination has run away on me.

[justmed]

yeah, not very sophisticated...

Actually a buddy of mine plays hockey in Cambridge and had his car stolen out of the parking lot last weekend. Cops say its a pretty popular thing for bored kids / kids from the Indian reserve to do for joy rides...

but only from that lot at the arena as there is no lighting / cameras and his car was unlocked...

[justmed]

Lived in Scarborough for a while myself... and this community will be night and day... the whole city is...

I cant wait for the farmers markets, and all the family festivals they have

[K.C.]

I cant wait for the farmers markets, and all the family festivals they have

Me too. I can't wait to go to all those quilting shows. Quilts are like crack to me ... I love 'em!

[deonandlindsay]

Crack? Did someone say crack? You need some crack? Man I got what you need right here LOL

[K.C.]

Crack? Did someone say crack? You need some crack? Man I got what you need right here LOL

LOL No, I need some organic fruits and vegetables. Do you have any ...

[smartsexystylish]

Scary! I'm hoping my alarm on my car will be a deterrent then. My workplace is a hot area and many cars have been stolen from our parking lots - In broad daylight sometimes!!!!

[deonandlindsay]

Organic fruits and vegetables huh? Those cost as much as the crack does... You sure I can't change your mind? I'll trade you for a TV/boombox/car stereo/rims :)

Hey Now,

I bought a Southgate End Townhouse,

I love my townhouse....................the layout is great...I love the big front pourch..............The designs are excellent on the outside.............

What is wrong with having a few townhouses mixed in...............

My townhouse is a lifestyle choice...................and the other townhouse owners on here have been great............

Mattamy is building a community...............A community is a mix of everything...............

Perhaps if you feel that you dont want a townhouse on your street....THEN SELL YOUR HOME WHEN IT IS BUILT.....LOL

All townhouse owners are always welcome to my place anytime.........as well as the single family home owners who have always been willing to offer there suggests and opinions........

lol.........

[Style]

LOL! I dont consider anyone a Outcast! I treat everyone equally and therefore I hate you all! :D Im kidding of course! Hope there is still a few dozen cold ones available for me after I typed that joke!

[jrb]

Hey STyle.

I have been working in Mexico for the last 13 months, back and forth to Canada.....[auto industry]

I will Copy & Paste you on that Jrb,,

We were thinking of buying a single family home but we are both young, 1st time home buyers and don't need one. We are never home anyway lol, we have been approved for that price range but we like the Southgate End and its 1509sq.ft also the layout is one of the best i have seen.

+ The Southgate has 1sq.ft on the Hillcrest lol...:D:rolleyes:

As long as its cold and wet and doesnt taste like actual piss its fine by me!:D When your brother in law is a newfie you gotta learn to drink with the big dogs or stay on the porch!:D

[JFiolek]

I feel like an outcast :rolleyes:

We bought a 34 foot and I felt like an outcast as well with all the 40's & 50's so don't let it bother you, as long as you are happy. You can place your townhouse beside lot 103 it's ok with me.:D

[smartsexystylish]

Deonandlindsay,

I think you are mixing up thing here some Townhouse's are CO-OP’s & subsidized housing, (NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT) but of course you are going to have some bad apples living there but everywhere you go has that also you need money to buy these townhouses and a income… Don’t judge a book buy its cover and assume that all townhouse people are trouble… If you don’t like how Mattamy's setting up the site plan ask for a refund.... and pick a different lot... or you can sell it?

[deonandlindsay]

Yes I am a snob. I am so much better than you. I despise townhouses. Not only will I erect a fence I will top it with barbed wire and build a watch tower that will be guarded 24/7 by machine gun toting ninja's. Does that make you feel better?

This thread is getting ridiculous. The ability to misterpret words never fails to amaze me. I love the internet. I am so dumbfounded by the reaction to one post I have nothing left to say.

[smartsexystylish]

Now now guys, lets take it easy :) (Hands each of you a cold beer to "cool" down)

Like I've said before, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. We won't agree on every discussion posted here in the forums and that's completely ok!

Mill Pond is growing to become a great community and I wouldn't want to see future neighbours feel like they cannot post a comment in fear of "offending" someone else.

[justmed]

I think my sarcasm spiralled...

dont tell my wife, she says Im too sarcastic and it gets me into trouble and I dont want to prove her right :)
