Cclr Durman made an impassioned plea for thinking as a community, not just a neighbourhood. The neighbours were not moved. This matter will involve further discussion with the School Board. Cclr Soprovich voted against. Doctors spoke wanting to stay at that location.
Doctors are intelligent professionals.
Maybe the mask isn't just the building description. Residents also bemoaned the loss of their doctors' services if a four-storey building weren't built. A businessman mentioned it wasn't fair to allow this exception when others had complied. Some said the OCP was designed to protect the character and to some extent the views. He showed a building with the maximum height allowed now and, fairly, said that it would block some of the view some residents behind now have but because the present OCP allows that height, they have no basis of complaint.
