PROPERTY OWNERSHIP ISSUE

There are lots of side issues to this application by the developer to overbuild on this site, contrary to City zoning regulations, the City's Official Plan and TRCA shoreline regulations.  
One of them is the question of ownership.  
At this point in time, Dunpar does not own the shoreline or have a permit to build shoreworks on it (the Province owns it); the developer does not yet have official ownership of the rest of the site (July 5th is the deadline for objections to their title application - see previous post); the G zoning on a large part of the site is one that is commonly found on publicly owned parkland (e.g. Prince of Wales park, Sam Smith park etc.) and the City has not yet offered any sort of explanation as to why municipal planners put this specific designation on the site. The Councillor's office has already stated that city parkland would not be surrendered for private residential development.
After last Thursday's Lakeshore Planning Council public meeting, it was decided that the Council should immediately write to CityCouncil with the community's concerns about this.
