Dear Editor:
How appalling and disingenuous to have allowed both the developer and owner to be at the open house on Monday.
At the Nov. 14 council meeting, council suggested that Lark and the town should have independent open house sessions to get impartial feedback from Summerland residents.
This open house was a regurgitation of all Lark’s promotional information from their open house in December and a blatant support from town council to try and sway the residents on this development.
There was no new information, some conflicting information and an obvious bias with the presence of the developer. To say that they were there to answer questions slanted towards their needs is not being impartial.
Town council should be embarrassed to put on such a sham of being impartial instead of waiting to listen to all public input
The platform of transparency this council was elected on is obviously not in play
I am extremely concerned about the safety and future viability of my property if this is allowed to proceed and have absolutely no faith that this council will make an impartial decision
