Lonsdale. Coun, Don Bell went one
step further.

Noting. that “seniors and empty
nesters housing will mean a change to
existing neighborhoods,” Bell predict-
ed a change of density “along the rib-.
bon of Queens between Edgemont
and Lonsdale.” ’

However, resident. arguitients at
the recent, public searing centred on
‘the. size of the development and. the
Jack of design plans.

“We've heard from the residents

that. this proposal ‘is too large. HW’ we

can’t see what the 22-unit. building

on townhouses.” ‘said Coun. Jim
Cuthbert.

However Cuthbert was unsuccess-
ful in his bid to defer the rezoning of
the site until die development: permit
plans for the building are completed.

Said Munroe, “Deferrals add to the
cost and are transferred to the buyer."

Developer Jim Wyse has said the

cost of his “absolutely first. class -

development” would’ range- between
$280,000-$285,0C3 for a 1,250 sq. fu
apartment: Only Coun. Emie Crist

“supported Cuthberi's deferral motion.

“There's. quite “a difference
between a single-family house and a

four-storey building. There are a lot of

options in between," said Crist.

Crist asked why. district. planning
staff could “not steer developers
towards ‘townhouses and - other
options. oo
