Tweet ThisEMC News - Lawn Ave. residents may have won the first round, but the battle to stop an unwanted development in their neighbourhood is expected to continue this fall.
On May 19, the city's committee of adjustment voted to decline a minor variance application by Gallivan Construction that, if approved, would have allowed for the construction of four units at 2290 Lawn Ave. a site currently occupied by a bungalow and which features a frontage of 105 feet. The committee's decision mirrored the general outlook of neighbours who were on hand to voice their opposition to the development and who were dismayed to recently learn Gallivan plans to appeal the committee's decision before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).
"The OMB hearing will likely take place this fall," said Woodpark Community Association president John Blatherwick. "From what I understand, some of the neighbours on Lawn Ave. are in the process of obtaining legal counsel and the community association has asked the developer for a copy of the appeal, but it's been more than three weeks and we've yet to receive it."
