Prove it, AGTO, or should I say digi? Find me a quote. If you'd care to take this to private messages, we can spare this thread this asinine discussion.No mistake, nice attempt at backpeddling though

This one seems to be pretty unpopular. Personally I think it turned out pretty awesome! I think it will look even better once it's all lived in.

As being 'all lived in' will hardly affect the architecture I assume you think that seeing people's 'junk' on their balconies will improve the building. Well, the painted cladding helped a bit so I suppose we can all hope you are right.
This one is only going to look good when the lot to the east is fully developed so that you can only see if from Queen Street. Until then its a major eyesore.

I meant something more like with the lights on, not junk on their balconies.
Minor variance from zoning by-law notice in the window. To convert the commercials space within the proposed 3-storey portion of the development into residential units.
What proposed 3 storey portion? Along Richmond?

Puzzling isn't it. I took it to mean there was 3 storys of Office Commercial over the retail that was being converted. They probably meant to do it from the outset but couldn't get it through Planning.
Where can you find the CofA agenda for Jan 13th?

The C of A Agendas for TEY are at: http://www.toronto.ca/planning/south_schedule_2007.htm
Of course they do not publish their minutes or decisions so knowing what actually happened at a meeting is not so easy to discover!

I hope they keep the ground floor reatil. If not it creates an even larger pedestrian "dead zone" around the black hole known as the Fred Victor Centre.

It does say Richmond. Right now at Richmond all we have is the parking ramp and no commercial space. I think Queen will stay retail and the "proposed" 3 storey on Richmond is what they are looking to rezone to residential.

I always found the planners in the C of A City Hall office to be pretty decent to deal with and easy to contact (or at least will promptly return your call). Just call the C of A (416-392-7565) the day after the hearing and find out what planner is managing the file and ask for the decision.
If you ask nicely, they may even e-mail or fax you the Notice of Decision

I will be moving in to this apartment soon as a tenant. Just out of curiousity, do you know which neighbourhood this building is considered to be in?
Thanks!
Thanks!

It's on the boundary between Moss Park / Garden District and the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood.
