New Battery Hotel Developement
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, demand that the proposed Text Amendment, Number 362, 2006 to the St. Johns Development Regulations to accommodate the proposed redevelopment of The Battery Hotel site, not be entertained by St. Johns City Council until such time as the applicant (Mr. Rick Butler) fulfills the requirements of Sections 5.2.1 and 5.3.1 of the Development Regulations. More specifically the applicant must submit drawings/plans to Council showing the proposed siting, height and bulk of the proposed building.
Furthermore, we wish to remind St. John's City Council that the guidelines adopted by them (the same guidelines under which residents have been required to adhere to for any new or existing building applications) since July 2005 recommended that any futher redevelopment of the Battery Hotel site stay within the existing building envelope ( i.e no increase in existing height or width).
Therefore we, the undersigned, because of the importance of the existing Battery Hotel site to the citys landscape, view planes and surrounding neighbourhoods also demand that Council hold a public hearing on the redevelopment of the site in order to allow the citizens of St. Johns to have full input.

It's time we paid attention to the scale of new buildings vis a vis their setting and exercised judgment based on something other than a handful of taxes. This edifice, as proposed, would ruin the age-old, time-honored appearance of Signal Hill, and we'd

This development, as proposed, would completely devastate the Battery's viewscape and charm, and must be stopped!

This is yet another example of a serious blunder by a city council that has absolutely NO VISION for this historic city and its place in our culture.

We already have one monstrocity in the city; I don't want another. And althuogh The Rooms serves a wonderful purpose, it is an eye-sore to the landscape. The Rock would be much worse. I can't even believe the people I elected would do this to Signal Hill.

Take a cue from Prince Charles.. Watch the skyline before its too late. You did it once for the condo's next to the BIS, don't do it again.. the view belongs to all of us.
