…and now by July City Council as well.

It seems that this proposal is far enough from what the Planning Department would find acceptable in Forest Hill Village, that they have not voted to continue discussions with the developer. This one has not been appealed to the OMB (yet, at least).

This one has now been appealed to the OMB, and at last week's Council, the City voted to send representation to oppose it.

Correction - the building to the immediate west is 7 stories, and the one across the road to the south from that is six stories - both of which probably forty or fifty years old...
 
Here's a batshit letter shared in Matlow's latest newsletter:

390 Spadina Road Development Update

The South Forest Hill Residents Association (SFHRA) has asked that I share the following message with you regarding this inappropriate development proposal:

Forest Hill Village is Under Attack!

More than 60 local residents attended the pre-OMB hearing on March 1st forcing the OMB to move the proceedings to their largest room. South Forest Hill Residents Association (SFHRA) was well represented by lawyer, Peter Carey, who was successful in securing our "party" status at the OMB.

No date has been set for the OMB hearing itself. Instead, a second pre-hearing date has been set for August 8th to review any revisions to the developer's plan and determine next steps. In order to prepare for this meeting, SFHRA needs to hire their own experts to counter the aggressive and well-financed attack by the Armel Corporation and their partners.

We have our work cut out for us! Did you know the OMB rules 64% of the time against communities and only 36% in favour of communities? The community can only win this with the support of each member of the community.

Fundraising has begun with a goal to raise $65,000 to prevent the destruction of the Village. You can help by donating generously:

1. ONLINE- click on the link which will take you to our GoFundMe page:

OR
2. Drop off your cheque made out to South Forest Hill Residents Association at 350 Lonsdale Rd (Attention: Mona Kornberg). There's a 24 hour Concierge.

For further information or to join the fight, email the SFHRA at SouthForestHillRA@gmail.comor visit us on Facebook!

* South Forest Hill Residents Association is an incorporated non-profit organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors
