INTRODUCTION
PROVIDING INFORMED AND APPROPRIATE STUDENT CONSULTING FOR THE PRESENT AND FUTURE OF THE WATERLOO REGION.The contents of this proposal represent a collaboration between the Waterloo Student Planning Advisory (WSPA) and the Student Practice which commenced on January 31st when WSPA held a general meeting where the Northdale proposal was first discussed. A subsequent design charrette held on February, 6th refined earlier concepts into three targeted proposals based on the official Northdale Developer Proposals. The comments and concepts from these deliberations were then compiled and refined into this document by the Student Practice.

CONCLUSION
CONSIDER AFFORDABLE ALTERNATIVES FOR STUDENTS IN RELATION TO URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINES
In conclusion, the general perception amongst students was that the proposals brought forth by the developer were valid and welcomed public consultation with the existing and proposed community. The consideration of density has become an important interest within the student community and continues to be of vital consideration in conjunction with affordable alternatives. Of notice is that the majority of students agree that the first concept is similar enough to existing conditions that the probability of success will be relatively low. The development of the Northdale community will continue to be of major interest to the student body and it is appreciated that they have had this opportunity to assist in the process.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration,
