St Nicholas - Community Consultation Update
The Community Consultation meeting was held last night.
The gym was packed! And overwhemingly, the people who attended were opposed to the developer's plans. You should have heard the collective gasp when the developer showed computer generated pictures of how the building would look on St. Nicholas. (The tower literally obliterated the sky and looked to me like some giant alien had invaded the street).
In response, Kyle Rae basically told the developer that they need to go back to the drawing board and he also asked the city to consider the heritage value of the planing mill, which they are doing.
Thank you to all of you showed up at the meeting (or simply offered your encouraging words of support on this forum).
The battle isn't over but this is a fantastic start!
ps. In response to the last message - I personally know the owners love their homes and take care of them and that couple owners recently spent thousands of dollars on repairs. I honestly think they show pride of ownership and I don't understand where you are coming from.
