As much as I am a keener for intensification, I have to agree with council and ASH on this one. This site is hardly dreamy in its potential for sustainable living. Specifically, it's too far from Rideau retail to be very walkable and it's poorly serviced by transit. Furthermore, it's in the middle of an established urban community; I'd hate to see this part of Sandy Hill become more like "upper" Sandy Hill (or some Toronto neighbourhoods) where godawful apartment blocks are thrown down beside beautiful Victorian houses at seemingly random midblock locations.
This is clearly a case of a developer trying to cash in on a riverside property.
