Winnipeg | St Boniface | Developments & Discussions

Front yard: They want zero front yard (building right up to the sidewalk/street) instead of the normal 25 feet setback.
North side yard: Only 8 feet gap to the neighbour instead of the required 18 feet.
South side yard: Only 6 feet gap to the neighbour instead of the required 20 feet.
Rear yard: 20 feet at the back instead of 25 feet.
Balcony overhang: The balconies on the south side will stick out 5 feet instead of the maximum allowed 2 feet.
Lot area per unit: They plan to have less land per apartment than required (344 sq ft per unit instead of 400 sq ft). This basically means they want to fit more units on the lot.
Street landscaping: They are not providing as much landscaping along the street edge as the rules require.

I noticed that as well. The article gives the impression that this is a new "David and Goliath" issue. I wish someone would teach these writers to do a little background research before they produce their articles.
