Nope. Just Mattamy, to my knowledge. Is Tridel also on the lobbying?
Nope, someone said something that had me wondering, that's all.

You seem somewhat excited for a Mattamy project - what? Are they changing up their game or something?New architect! Waaaaaaay better than before. Looking forward to seeing what they're cooking up here (yes, it is taller).
Additional Comments: PE must tell us if an offer was made/refused to the owner of the one remaining SFH on the block; it will be surrounded by towers, but with stranded site that no one can build on.
Would prefer to see the remaining SFH bought out and the block logically completed.
While the hold-out Single Family House lot would itself be way too small to support a Condo tower - this lot will have Height and Density rights afforded to it under the North York Centre Secondary Plan - making it a valuable lot to be used by another Developer for Height and Density Transfer to another project. If this project gets approval for extra Height and Density at OMB/OLT - then the Developer buying this Single Family House lot would be justified to argue for similar Height and Density to be Transferred onto their project. After all that, this Single Family House lot would likely be conveyed to City as Section 42 Parkland Dedication to become another parkette,....

SUBJECT: MATTAMY HOMES DEVELOPMENT 26-38 Hounslow Avenue
NOTICE OF PETITION
As most of you are aware, Mattamy Homes is seeking City Council approval to build a 24-story building behind Skyview.
The impact on our building will include:
- - Obstruction of views
- - Reduction of sunlight in our outdoor space
- - Negative effect on property values
- - Congestion and Population Density. There are 5 proposed condo building within 5 blocks of Skyview. Total number of proposed new units is approximately 2,500, resulting in an influx of about 3,700 people in our immediate vicinity.
- - Parking Problem: New city by-laws state that developments close to subways do not need to provide parking for all residents. There will be a shortfall of over 1,000 parking spots in the 5 buildings around us. This shortage may result in our available street parking being greatly strained or consumed by Permanent Parking Permit-holders.
- - Significant impact on sidewalk traffic, car traffic, subways, buses, restaurants and parks.
- - Years of construction noise and hazardous construction dust will negatively impact the environment of our pool, tennis courts, picnic and garden area. The building will be within a metre of our lot line which may render the backyard unusable for the years of construction.
- - Safety Concerns. During the construction years, how will residents using our outside space be protected from inhaled industrial dust and flying debris. Our outdoor area sits at the base of the proposed building and is extremely well-populated almost all year round. The physical and mental health of our residents is at risk.
Let’s unite in a common cause to protect our Skyview Condominium!
A petition has been drawn up to be presented to our City Councillor, Lily Cheng, and to the City Planning Department.
It will be available for signatures on P1 and in the lobby as follows: Wednesday March 20 from 10 – 12, 2 – 4 and 6 – 8
Friday March 22 from 10 – 12 and 2 – 4.
If you are unable to come at these times, we will come to you. Leave your name and phone number at the front desk for a home visit to sign.
This is from the existing condo at 5444 Yonge. Usual complaints. I do remember when 5444 was constructed and it created NONE of the issues below lol.
