Woot~ @ferusian is back, I can take the odd day off now! LOL

****

On the above. In a word "No"

I'm fine w/the density/height........

I viscerally dislike all the surface parking.

It also doesn't properly address its principle street (Bellamy). 2 buildings running perpendicular to that street and a huge parking lot.

Let me illustrate for S&C how this is done.

Measurements aren't exact, I have other stuff to do, LOL

The above achieves:

1) Addresses Bellamy prominently.

2) Is a more efficient building configuration that is cheaper to construct except for adding the underground parking.

3) Allows more units, takes full advantage of 6s, as-of-right, as an idea*, while slightly lowering the height on the tucked in area.

4) Increases sales/rental value, because parking is now sheltered with no rain/snow issues, and a beautiful court yard with landscaped, buffered sides creates much more attractive views out the windows.

* Bellamy in this location is not actually designated as a major street in the as-of-right by-law. But if Planning would allow anything like this here, that would obviously be changing.

While Parthi generally has most of the above wrong.............the developer has failed to heed my free advice here on how to get this passed.

Too bad for them.

Would your reconfiguration make it possible to preserve the mature trees along the street front?

Would your reconfiguration make it possible to preserve the mature trees along the street front?

Some, not all.

There's no way to redevelop intelligently here and leave the building set as far back as the houses.

But you can and should set it back from the current sidewalk.

It would probably be possible to save ~1/2 of the trees out of front.

The configuration I propose would also retain many of the back yard trees at 9 Bellamy.
