The ACO was asked by The Olde Berlin Town Neighbourhood Association to help them understand how the development at 30-40 Margaret might affect the Heritage Conservation District.
The basis of our presentation is (1) the Civic Centre Neighbourhood District Plan should be more closely adhered to than is proposed by the developer because of how important this site is to the character of the District; (2) the proposed building stepbacks are not adequate to meet the requirements of the site specific policies and guidelines, including the possible isolation of 54 Margaret.
The pdf document below explains what we felt would ensure that the character of the District is conserved. We believe that the role of the ACO is to have public discussion of the issues that affect built heritage.
