DEVELOPMENT CONCERNS
We encourage you to
read the letter
ARECA recently sent to Councillors on the North York
Community Council and the Mayor.
Something NEEDS to change.
We invite your
comments!
ARECA WENT TO THE OMB
In August, ARECA, along with the Stanley Knowles Co-op
went to the Ontario Municipal Board regarding the
proposed development at Orchardview and Duplex. Our
position was the development was inappropriate for the
site. We limited the scope of our challenge in
recognition of the forces opposing the community and our
budget.
How did we fare? Well, we were successful in having the
development scaled down and back from the property line.
The by-law enabling the building's construction needed
to be amended to reflect these changes. Those wanting
more details can learn of them at our AGM.
ARECA is proud of the position it took with respect to
this proposed development and appreciates the
partnership we have with the Stanley Knowles Co-op and
the efforts of our planning expert, Terry Mills.
