A bunch of developments are described in this newsletter:
1. 194 townhouses are being built off Yorshire Avenue by
Banc Developments. Most will have attached garages and
the developer indicates the cost will be around $210 to $230
thousand per dwelling. Banc Developments is also applying to
build four condominiums with a total of 226 units. These will
have to be approved by Community Council through a
Development Agreement. A public information meeting on
these units is scheduled for May 2nd at Harbourview School.
2. Close to 120 housing units and a 44-unit condominium are
being built in Willow Ridge off Lancaster Drive. The second
phase is underway and housing construction may start later
this summer. There has been no application as yet for the new
Baptist Church.
3. A 60-unit apartment building was approved by Community
Council off Boland Road to be built by Killam Properties. This
building will back onto Scotia Court. Construction is expected
to start this year.
4. The Notting Park development at the corner of Boland Road
and Wyse Road being built by Arsenal Developments was
given fi rst reading on April 5th by Community Council and a
public hearing was scheduled for May 3rd. The public hearing
is advertised in the newspapers on Saturdays and letters are
mailed out in the general vicinity. This proposal consists of two
multiple unit dwellings, one three- and one four-story, both
with ground fl oor commercial use and a total of 24
apartments and one six-story, 72-unit apartment building.
5. An application was received from W.M. Apartments Ltd
to permit a 68-unit apartment building at 249/251 Windmill
Road. This building is proposed to be located between the
existing building and the railroad tracks. A public information
meeting was advertised and held on April 2nd at the
Northbrook Community Centre to get feedback from the
community on this application. While the zoning on the land
is R4 and permits the development of an apartment building,
the application has to be approved by Community Council
through a development Agreement.
