哈利法克斯委员会否认邻居对分拆网站计划批准的吸引力

Halifax’s regional centre councillors called the developer’s behaviour “deplorable” and questioned how he sleeps at night, but couldn’t find anything legally wrong with his proposal for North Street during an appeal hearing Wednesday night.

该市的区域中心社区委员会，由代表中心计划区的议员组成 - 托尼曼奇尼，Waye Mason，Lindell Smith和肖恩清晰 - 听到了批准的决定上诉Mosaik Properties’ plan for a seven-storey, 128-unit residential buildingat 6399, 6395 and 6389 North St. The properties front on North, Oxford and Seaforth streets.

It’s the location of the brick building known as Ardmore Hall, where, according tothe municipalityand reports inthe Chronicle HeraldandCBC那Mosaik Properties, owned by George Giannoulis, started demolishing a tenant’s apartment in December before he’d been legally evicted. Giannoulis denied, in a pastemail to the Examiner那that the tenant was still living there when demolition started.

The municipality has since pulled the demolition permit and the Herald and CBC reported that the provincial Department of Labour罚款开发商1,000美元。允许开发人员进行修复工作，从现场移除石棉和其他有害物质。

“As I understand it, there is an ongoing process relating to someone who has tenancy in that building,” municipal planner Peter Nightingale told councillors.

“并目前建筑官员没有觉得可以恢复许可证，直到涉及其中一些问题。”

但新版本的计划在全部批准。

该项目的发展官员Sean Audas，批准了在设计咨询委员会的中央计划下提交的计划的计划推荐在九月。邻居的三个人呼吁决定。

At the community council’s meeting on Wednesday, councillors heard from the three appellants — Joan Fraser, Pat White, and Stephanie Woodman — and a nearby resident, Jane Spurr.

Fraser argued the building was too tall, even with an 11-metre streetwall meant to transition from the mid-rise to the single-family homes surrounding it. Fraser asked the community council to defer its decision while the developer dealt with its legal issues around tenancy.

“This is an urgent matter that will forever have an impact on this low rise residential community,” Fraser said.

白色争论开发商的车道不应该退出Seaforth Street，最安静的三种选择。

“This development would make Seaforth Street heavier with car volumes and go against the street calming initiatives,” White said.

White also argued the mechanical penthouse on top of the building should count toward its overall height. He highlighted the issues with the developer’s handling of tenants, too.

“这座建筑不适合这个社区，开发商并不是一个好邻居，”他说。

伍德曼说，她赞同弗雷泽和白色的评论，但是她没有自己添加。

Spurr, who lives more than 100 metres from the site and was not automatically permitted to speak, shared White’s traffic concerns. Councillors voted to allow her to speak at the hearing.

“This building plan has been presented to you with a driveway dumping onto Seaforth Street, dumping traffic that will be more than one and a half to two times the existing cars that currently occupy the residences here on Seaforth Street,” Spurr said. “This is a significant issue.”

In the工作人员报告对议员，夜莺和奥卡斯解除了同样的担忧，写作“计划”证明违反章程的要求。“

周三,南丁格尔告诉议员decision should only consider the design of the building — “things that really affect the outward appearance of the building.” The land-use bylaw does not cover issues of public safety, driveway locations, building code, or demolition.

“Those are things dealt with under other municipal bylaws and regulations,” Nightingale said.

例如，章程法治街道，“并规定了车道，即在员工报告的情况下，在街道上位于街道上，”据工作人员报告称。在这种情况下，那是海法街。

Keeping the limitations in mind, councillors sympathized with the neighbours’ concerns, but ultimately voted unanimously against the appeal.

史密斯,该站点的议员,他说’t find grounds to uphold the appeal. “But as mentioned, there’s other aspects of this that still have to be addressed through other bylaws and whatnot and we still have the ongoing case, which it outside of this process, but is one that I know my colleagues are paying attention to,” he said.

其他议员直接解决了拆迁问题。

“在我看来是令人遗憾的，申请人应该为这样做而感到羞耻，”梅森说。

“Demolishing a building while someone’s property is inside, man I don’t know how you sleep at night,” Mancini said.

Giannoulis did not speak during Wednesday’s hearing. ArchitectGreg Johnston代表他说话，暗示车道上的速度慢慢地走出建筑物的流量。他没有提到拆迁问题。
