HUMBER THEATRE - Public Meeting, May 20 From a notice by the City of Toronto Planning department: "Community
Consultation Meeting" Official plan and zoning amendments are proposed to permit a 13 storey, 9632 sq m mixed-use building consisting of retail on the ground floor; a health club on floors 2 and 3; and 92 residential apartments on floors 4 through 13. A total of 49 parking spaces are proposed in 3 underground levels with access via Riverview Gardens. The meeting will provide an opportunity for the community to have input on this project, view the plans and ask questions. If you cannot attend the meeting, you can still make your views known by sending a fax to 416 394-6063 or by writing to Mr. Gary Wright, Director, Community Planning, West District, Urban Development Services, 2 Civic Centre Court, Etobicoke, Ont. M9C 5A3. If you would like further information about the proposal, please contact Ed Murphy, Senior Planner, 416 394-8234. You may also contact Councillor Bill Saundercook at 416 392-4072. Attendant Care Services can be made available with some advance notice. (and from world19): We've received several emails and calls from people about this development; some concerned about the development itself; some concerned about theapplicants (the Wynn family). On our website www.world19.com, we now have a page of information about the application, and notes from past newsletters about the development and the newest BWV landlords. (world19 was the first to print news about the closing of the theatre, and the first to report the property's purchase by the Wynns). Additional note: For those with an interest in the Wynns, a public meeting on May 12 may be of interest. Hosted by Ward 14 Councillor Sylvia Watson, it concerns a rezoning application by the Wynns to build a new 207 apartment building near their "well-known" apartments at 103/105 West Lodge Ave. Meeting details: 2.
