Its heritage character is an intrinsic part of its unique attractiveness to local residents and to tourists.

I strongly request that Council makes every decision possible to maintain the integrity of the heritage district and the historic `look and feel' of downtown Collingwood.

Had the developer built in accordance with the bylaws when he tore down the building so many years ago, nobody would be having this discussion.
Our sense of place would be profoundly impacted by a 6+ storey building. The heritage district was hard won and should be left fully intact and celebrated.

Having visited Collingwood on many occasions there is no doubt in my mind that the town would lose its attraction to visitors if this development is allowed to proceed. It would be an eyesore on the highstreet at the very least or to draw on a quote from Prince Charles - a carbuncle on the face of a favourite aunt! A law is a law and is there and agreed by the town for this very reason.

I for one, would like to see it remain for my grand-children and generations to come. The world is becoming much too homogeneous and downright ugly. The area's natural and man-made environment is much too beautiful to lose and yet we continue to lose pieces of it everyday. Do not let this be another.

His proposal would not only result in a lower value for his property, but it would also negatively affect the other business owners and the City of Collingwood. Why did he purchase a property in a Heritage District if he did not intend to honour the guidelines that made it such beautiful area?
He should visit Cobourg to see what can be done.
