The application was considered by the North York Community Council on December 9, 1998 and January 20, 1999 at which time Coucil referred the matter back to the Director, Community Planning, North District. On February 2, 3 and 4, 1999 Council adopted the deferral without amendment.

On October 27, 1999, the applicant filed an appeal with the Ontario Muncipal Board pursuant to Section 34 (11) of the Planning Act. The section states that where council refuses or neglects to make a decision within 90 days after the receipt of the application, the applicant may appeal to the Muncipal Board. A hearing date for the application has been set for March 6, 2000.
