Hell yeah, here we go. Intensify all the way into the Bridle Path. Huge lots, high values. Can't wait to see development crack into this ridiculous estates-only zoned enclave.

Looks like this will match the building to the south of this...
...and that's all I want to say for that. >.<

Vehicular access is proposed off of Post Road and loading access is proposed off of Bayview Avenue. The proposal will provide 119 underground parking spaces."

2.16 parking spaces per unit - not surprising given the clientele and location herre, but still.. surprising.
This is under appeal at the OLT in the Case Management Conference phase (next CMC July 17): https://jus-olt-prod.powerappsporta...ails/?id=4c7e582b-70d6-ee11-904d-002248b17baa
And is the subject of an appeals report to council (staff remain opposed, no settlement proposal yet): https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024/ny/bgrd/backgroundfile-245592.pdf

I hadn't been paying much attention to this thread, having just give it a read through, I'm certainly supportive of intensification here, and the proposal is reasonably handsome.
Let me bring forward some context shots of the existing as we lack those.
This site is (currently), actually 8 and 10 Hyde Park Crescent, rather than 2 Post Road.
The current Post Road frontage:
Current Bayview frontage:
Hyde Park frontage:
Upon full review, I do take an issue w/the proposed landscape plan and the way the development addresses pedestrians (or does not)
Currently there is no sidewalk on the cul de sac; this plan does not provide for one either. Granted, in isolation, its pretty useless, but the plan should be for the City to install sidewalk on at least one side, back out to Post Road, and this development should pay for the section abutting its property.
Additionally, the proposal provides for only a very basic 2.1M wide sidewalk with no landscaped buffer between the sidewalk and the road on both the Bayview and the Post Road frontages.
I could perhaps see my way to letting that slide on Post Road, though I don't see why we should have to; but on the Bayview frontage that will make for fairly unpleasant walking conditions. The sidewalk should shift into the proposed private property landscaping, and a tree-lined boulevard should be added between the sidewalk and the curb on Bayview.

This one is the subject of a still confidential settlement offer to this week's meeting of City Council.

An entrance on Hyde Park surprises me as it’s a quiet cul de sac of houses. I think that street was built by Shane Baghai in the late 80s. Architect being David Wooldridge?… always liked the brick wall that surrounded some of his developments.
