Just what I've always wanted - a KFC gravy coloured condo!

I'm not sure if that's more righteously insulting to the proposal here, or righteously indignant about the state of KFC gravy.

I suspect, the building, much as the gravy isn't merely an aesthetic disaster, but one lacking in both taste and flavour.
 
When it was short I found the brown colour was trying to fit in. Now that it's towering over its neighbours, maybe they should go for a more, I dunno, standout colour? I guess I'm just not a fan of the brown.
 
"transformed" is a bit of a stretch... They're just being painted - not even guardrail replacement, just painting the old ones. I can't help but feel like this is a temporary measure as buildings like this are facing more and more pressure to tear down & redevelop.

Really wish owners would try and restore the bricks on these old mid century blocks vs covering them up.

I will miss the warmth that the yellow bricks gave this block of Jarvis.
 
This one was appealed to the OLT in October.

It is now the subject an Appeals Report to the next meeting of TEYCC:


There appear to be two key issues from the City's perspective, separation distances and the City's desire for an on-site parkland dedication. No mention of the importance of an alternate colour scheme to KFC Gravy.

From the above:

In respect of the parkland

85m2 is obviously stupid small, but this is contiguous to the parkland dedication for the Jarvis/Earl proposal, which is ~490m2, so this will result in a consolidated park block of ~575m2.

While better, that's still too small, Just to provide perspective, 1000m2 is 0.1 hectares or a 1/4 of an acre roughly, to this park will closer to 1/8th of an acre.

Had the area been properly planned on a consolidated basis, with the Huntly/Selby proposal, and others, we could have found a path to one single park of 1.2ha in size or about 3 acres which would have been a decent park for the area that could have been a great selling feature for all of the developments..........

Sigh.
