DUNPAR REPRESENTATIVES INVITED TO LAKESHORE PLANNING COUNCIL

Tom Jiancos and John Zanini from Dunpar have accepted an invitation from Lakeshore Planning Council to attend next Thursday’s LPC meeting at LAMP (June 11th. 7.30 to 8.30 p.m.) to present their revised proposal. The purpose of this meeting will be to try and resolve as many issues as possible. The developers will present for about twenty minutes and that will leave forty minutes for discussion. All are welcome!

This may be the community’s only chance to meet with the developers to discuss this issue before a possible later OMB hearing, probably in the Fall.

Remember that Dunpar already has a strong sense of the community’s opinions and feelings about development on this site – they have been at two previous, well-attended, public meetings where the community came down pretty hard on them in our efforts to keep development within the intent of Toronto’s Official Plan and Etobicoke’s Zoning By-Laws. Next Thursday’s LPC meeting might be a good opportunity for the community to make suggestions about what it would accept on this site.

It is probably a good idea to become familiar with Etobicoke’s Zoning By-Laws, building standards and permitted uses for this R2 zoned site.
