There is a development plan to build several single detached residences on the 2 acre historic property at 21 Withrow Avenue. It is currently the site of a heritage residence known as Kilmorie, which once belonged to the renowned Confederation poet William Wilfred Campbell. It is heavily treed, with many mature specimens. We previously wrote a letter to Planning staff to try and preserve this greenspace as the surrounding community has little accessible greenspace in its midst. Erwin attended a public meeting on February 15. There will be other opportunities to intervene as the planning file proceeds.

21 Withrow Avenue, Kilmorie
Following the Committee of Adjustment’s decision to turn down the developer’s application to proceed with four housing starts on part of the property, the City View Community Association is raising funds in an attempt to acquire the property on 21 Withrow as part of a plan to turn it into a nature and cultural centre. We agreed to pledge $250 to the Kilmorie Heritage Trust Fund.

Committee of Adjustment appeal, 21 Withrow
Paul and Erwin gave a report on their participation as parties at the LPAT hearing of the appeal filed by the proponent of a 14 unit housing development on a two acre greenspace and heritage property at 21 Withrow in City View. The Committee of Adjustment had denied the proponent’s application to split off four units from this plan of subdivision in order to undertake its development ahead of Planning Committee’s consideration of the plans for the full property. Members of the local community association, the Poet’ Pathway and the Greenspace Alliance argued that the CoA was correct in denying the application. We believe we had a good hearing and that there is some hope that the appeal will be denied.
