45, 57-93 Balliol Street – Zoning By-Law Amendment and Rental Housing Demolition Applications (TE31.36)

The South Eglinton Davisville Residents’ Association (SEDRA) welcomes the Preliminary Report as prepared by City Planning, and is strongly in support of the comments raised in the report.

Specifically:

  • The proposed height of the tower and base building in relation to the existing and planned built form context of the area including massing, transition and scale
     
  • The potential impacts associated with the proposed building’s massing, including but not limited to wind and shadowing of nearby parks and open spaces and the public realm

We believe there are opportunities to widen the existing Al Green laneway through garage access consolidation with 45 Balliol St., as mentioned above, and increase the allotted park space in the proposed application to benefit new residents to the neighbourhood as well as existing residents and community.

In addition, we are also seriously concerned about yet another Davisville area development adding to the cumulative impact of overdevelopment in this neighbourhood.
