meeting of North

aay It doesn't seem right,

Herman Sangha received a
development varlance permit
Feb, 24 to demolish and
cebu a home at 1265 Mill
St

“The permit allowed
Sangha to ‘replace a 6,22
metre (20.4 ft.) house with
one that will be 9.14 metres
(30 ft.) tall,

“While higher than often
approved by council, there
Was some evidence of neigh-

borhood support and little
opposition ta Sangha’s plans
when It came to counell,

Additionally, Sangha
promised to retain the mature
trees on the property,

When the trees welt cut
without notice, neighbors
complained to counell and
Sangha'’s — permits — were
revoked at a special meeting of
council,

But Sangha has since
worked with the district's

i

parks departnient to develop a
re-planting program on the
site and counell has reinstated
the permits,

Section 215 (Municipal
Act) covenant and a $15,000
security deposit guarantees
the planting of 12 four-metre
trees on the east side of the
property,

adjacent to. the Mill Street
property, told the: News that
neighbors agreed to sign i

Gloria Delahunt, who lives:

support of the project because
he agreed to save the trees,
“The neighbors seem, like
idiots for belng so trusting,"
sald Delahunt, \
Delahunt and — others
appeared before council to ask
It to withhold reinstatement
of Sangha’s permits for “a
while longer? in order to con-
duct a neighborhood review,
But “Muniel al Manager «
Gord Howie advised council
it did not have the legal right

to readdress the house height
