A Message from the Broadway Residents Working Group:
Dear Residents!
We have received early notice of the upcoming Community Consultation Meeting on April 7 regarding the 1860 Bayview Avenue proposed development. The purpose of this meeting is for “the community to have input on this project, view the plans and ask questions”, so we recommend that you plan to attend this meeting. This is your change to be heard! Please see the attached letter which will be mailed to the residents in the immediate area around the lot.
In the attached letter (click here to view .pdf) you will find a link to a Preliminary Report prepared by the city staff. In this report the city staff essentially recommended that a community consultation is held and that notice is given to land owners within 120 meters of the site. This “recommendation” was approved by the city council back in January as described in the following article in the North Toronto Post that many of you may have seen:
This recommendation of the Preliminary Report has been the cause of some confusion. However, this is simply a recommendation to move forward with processing of the application including the community meeting. A final report is not expected from the city staff until the third quarter of 2011. The developer does not have approval to start the construction since the proposed development does not fit within the current zoning bylaws.
It is therefore very important that the residents make themselves heard in this process. Please plan to attend the meeting on April 7 where Councillor Jaye Robinson will be attending with the city staff.
Thank you,
The Residents Working Group
