Z-13-88
Mr. Karry Mardirossian, the architect representing SanossiJn Holdings Inc.,
the owners of the lands at 9 Yonge Street North, gave mem~ers of Council a
summary of the efforts made by the owner to gain approval of a redevelopment
plan for the property. Concern was expressed for the direhipn received to
construct a two-storey building and the subsequent relucta~ce by Council to
be flexible on the resultant parking requirements. It was [e~uested, as the
owner now intends to proceed with a one-storey building !as originally
proposed, that Council favourably consider two other e~ceptions to the
Zoning by-law necessary, being a reduction in rear yard set! back to zero and
a reduced parking aisle width. '
