By now most residents are aware that the City of Toronto has forwarded to EYC the enabling certification permitting the Chief Planner to issue a building permit to the Bozinoff's for the construction of their planned property on the lot at 66 Baby Point Road.
At the same time, I am aware from feedback in the Baby Point Community at large that many of us are concerned about several aspects of this application that remain an open issue. These concerns include process and the less than transparent reasons that the motion to defer this matter was defeated at City of Toronto Council meeting on March 31, 2010.
In addition, the material presented by both the Applicant and the Councillor to the community and to Council does not withstand close scrutiny. In this instance, I am referring to the sketch or rendering presented by Mr. Bozinoff apparently demonstrating minimal visual impact on the streetscape in the vicinity of 66 Baby Point Road.
This sketch was also displayed to both councils by Mr. Saundercook during his presentations to his fellow councillors. In fact, he opined that this was an accurate reflection of the impact of this home on the streetscape.
The two photographs demonstrate otherwise, The first is the original sketch which has no scale associated with it. The second is scaled to the actual dimensions of the adjacent properties. (#64 is 53 ft 4 in. wide) You can note the change in distance between that home and the target property on the two sketches. (viz annotated photo montage)
The above letter to the Councillor and the Applicant addresses these continuing concerns.

Clearly; any data provided by the original sketch/plans are suspect!
