F. & F. Construction Limited, 1386-1388 Islington Avenue

Request for Legal Representation at OMB Hearing.

The Etobicoke Community Council reports having received the following communication (March 19, 1998) from Councillor M. Giansante and Councillor G. Lindsay Luby,  Kingsway-Humber and, having directed the City Solicitor to appear before the Ontario Municipal Board on April 30, 1998, to support the Committee of Adjustment decision refusing an application for approval of a proposed residential draft plan of subdivision of six lots at the north-west corner of Fairway Road and Islington Avenue, requests the concurrence of Council in the action taken:

Re: Request for Legal Representation at OMB Appeal of Subdivision of Lots at  1386-1388  Islington Avenue at Fairway Road;

F. & F. Construction Limited had submitted an application to the former City of Etobicoke for the subdivision of six (6) lots at the north-west corner of Fairway Road and Islington Avenue (municipal address 1386-1388 Islington Avenue). A Community Meeting was held on June 4, 1997 at which most of the area residents opposed this application. Council in turn turned down the application.

The applicant has appealed the Council decision to the OMB and there will be a hearing on  April  30, 1998.

I am therefore requesting that the City send legal representation to the OMB hearing to defend Council's position.
