As earlier
reported, Toronto City Council's decision on March 5 to support a
Judicial Review of the OMB decision in favour of Dunpar was great
news for the Kingsway community. It supports what you have said to
us – that there has to be integrity in planning; that the height
and encroachment restrictions should be adhered to; and that we
are not to compromise on the recently completed Dundas Avenues
study. From day one the message you have given KRAPP is very
simple – insist that Dunpar build its condominium within the
established guidelines.
KRAPP
believes the OMB decision is wrong. Both KRAPP's lawyer and the
City Solicitor have advised us that they believe the decision is
wrong at law. Accordingly, our fight against overdevelopment and
encroachment in our established neighborhood continues thanks to
neighbors like you, and the financial contributions that KRAPP has
received.
In order to
ensure that we are all up to speed on this important issue KRAPP
will hold a community meeting at the Lambton-Kingsway School gym
on May 29 at 7:00 p.m. Please make sure that you attend and ask
your neighbors to join you.
This issue
isn't without controversy. With the passage of time it is only
natural to lose interest or receive misinformation – please don't
let this happen. On May 29 KRAPP encourages you to bring forward
any and all questions that you may have.
Just to
remind everyone about why this vital fight continues - an
intelligent and well thought out Avenue study was put in place to
address responsible development on Dundas; Dunpar proposed a
development that we believe flies in the face of that study
ignoring both height and encroachment concerns; our neighbors, the
residents truly and directly impacted by the development, gave
KRAPP an overwhelming mandate to hold Dunpar to the Avenue study
plan; KRAPP has stuck to the mandate; the OMB decision is flawed,
so, along with the city, this community is going to stand in tough
and fight this.
So, as
neighbours with a common interest standing together, let's
recharge the batteries for the next round … the fight goes on.
Hope to see you May 29.
Lastly, KRAPP
continues to need your financial contributions as we fight this
fight. Please visit us at:
