From The Pointer: What costs will Mississauga have to assume for its game-changing Hurontario LRT? Rahul Gupta Feb 04, 2020 - Mississauga

The applicant acquired 3 adjacent homes on Sheppard and Council approved a settlement offer in July. http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2019.CC9.17 However I went past the site last week and both the properties on Gorman Park and Sheppard were for sale.

Agreed, the southeast corner has a lot of potential with 2 adjacent plazas that have a significant amount of surface parking.

The houses are part of the East Annex Heritage Conservation District. It's safe to say the City won't support tearing them down, so I'm interested to see how they are incorporated into the 15-storey application.

Over half of the ground floor frontage is a driveway- awful. They should buy up the lots to the corner for a bigger site and access off of the side street.

I visited last week and was disappointed by the extent of the shadow impacts from Aquavista. By 2pm half the park was in the shadow of the building. I assume things will only get worse once Aquabella is completed, the park will have both morning and afternoon shadows.

There is so much surface parking literally 100 metres from a subway station, why not develop some of it with housing?

Too much density; the tower floor plates are too large (870sqm), the towers are too close (22m) and at 12 storeys the podium is too tall.

I agree. I think for median LRT this far from Downtown predominantly mid rise maybe 8-11 storeys with a few towers at the LRT stops would be appropriate. With some of the proposals that have been submitted it looks like this area will just become a sea of high rises.

Didn't LPAT already confirm that this block is limited to 12 storeys through the 170 Spadina appeal? That was under the old OMB rules too, so why would this developer expect a different outcome?
