In 2018, developer Hawk Ridge Homes applied to the City of Hamilton to build an 18-town home unit near the Waterdown Library.
The developer planned to purchase and demolish the existing homes to make way for several new units, but the plan has been met with heavy opposition from those who live in the area.
Concerns over safety, privacy and the length of the project were all schedule to be brought up at Tuesday’s council meeting, until it was deferred until Sept. 17.
“The driveway where the proposed development is going to be about twenty metres away from that light and you can’t event see the driveway until you get close to the light” Brian Peggie, a concerned resident who lives in the area, said earlier this month.
