I'm suggesting a meeting with the CRBA before the developer talks to the City - it actually helps both parties, from experience. And I can say that the CRBA would most definitely make a good effort to do something with the existing building. Whether that would be successful would depend on a...

Forgetting the "official" discussion for the moment, this isn't even an application yet and your concern is partly addressed by my earlier suggestion for the developer to meet with the local association to hear what could be an objection to completely getting rid of the elevation, which could be...

Well, it would be a waste simply to ignore you, wouldn't it!? I take your point and it is technically a good one!! But I also disagree with you, although it depends totally on the definition of terms. In this case, the Association representing Corktown was incorporated 20 years ago as a...
