* as one can see, this large property actually encompasses a good chunk of the Emery Creek Ravine lands. Those properties within or below 10M of stable top of bank will not be developable and will likely
be surrendered to the TRCA as part of any proposal here.

Notwithstanding that, the gross site area is ~1.3ha/3.2 acres

The real developable area, in my estimation, is slightly under 1/2 of the site, which is still a very large .56ha/1.5 acres.

Lowrise apartments can be found to the south, and SFH across the street.

The AIC is missing lots of applications! They all vanished a couple of days ago.............

I assume there was software update or some such thing..........

I have informed the City of the issue.

Hmmm, significant parking located in the above-grade levels of the building!

Onto the Natural Heritage bit, given the site location:

The essence here is this, the built-form will stay outside the TRCA floodplain and dripline stakes.

43 trees likely to be removed, mostly scrub and 42 non-native Manitoba Maple and Siberian Elm.

88 trees will be planted in their place.
 
Their "parking solution" is pretty hilarious... and will be added to our "Parking -OR- People... Pick ONE" data visuals...

Giving them a hard time is good...........stifling the current version of the proposal is better.

We agree this is a terrible plan for this site in its current form...........

Lets get it re-worked.

They will want parking, fine, can we cut the ratio by 1/2 for a start? What do we need to do to enhance other transportation options in the area to make that workable
from a market perspective?

Let's talk carsharing, let's talk Bikeshare Toronto, let's talk about 'enhanced' transit stops (heated shelters in winter, outdoor seating in summer etc etc.)

We can get this improved, substantially. Let's not just use them as an example of bad planning; but an example of how we can improve bad planning!
 
This one is the subject of a Decision Report - Approval Recommended to the next meeting of EYCC.


It has had a hair cut from 17s to 14/15 (the latter is MPH and Amenity)

The above ground parking remains:

Though, as noted above, its appearance has been mitigated.

Lots of architectural tweaks here, there were new Arch. Submissions in October '23, October again, December '23 and January '24

@Paclo is duly flagged.

So overall parking numbers are also reduced by a smidge (with the church still retaining access to 41 of those spots), so less then 1 parking spot per unit. The language in the report "The applicant worked closely with city staff" appears to indicate a constructive approach to resolving issues raised by the city and moving the project forward. It's an interesting site to begin with and lots of units will enjoy some lovely site lines.
 
There is a sign on site, this is being marketed as "Montaje Condos"

It was approved at the Feb 6-7 City Council meeting, so we'll see sometime in the future how closely the rendering matches the final product!
