NIMBY fundraiser seems to run out of steam, last donation coming in a month ago. Couldn't be happier, these fools would knock down every house except their own if it was up to them. At the rate the province is approving increased density I would be far from shocked if this gets built at 15 stories.

Sidenote: The quote "Low-rise housing is appropriate in a century old neighbourhood." has me laughing, as if a century old neighbourhood is as worthy of 'preservation' as the Egyptian Pyramids.
 
Man this proposal is seriously ugly. Just for proposing it I would legislate a ban on the proponent and the architecture firm being allowed to do business in Ontario.

It reads like KirKor but turned up to 11 'loud'.

On that note......this one has been appealed to OLT in June and an Appeals report is headed to the next meeting of TEYCC where the City will seek to oppose this.


Staff are prepared to support this one being rezoned 'Mixed Use'.........but take issue w/the form/height/massing:

No loading space at all and the applicant wants curbside City garbage pickup for a 12s building!
