Went to the EDC meeting last night. Not a lot changed with this one since the last review, although it was emphasized that the north side between the tower and the parkade will be fenced off for safety reasons. There was some contention and questions over the placement of a transformer on the northeast corner of the site, but apparently there was no where else it could feasibly be placed.

Though I'm still not convinced this is the right development for this site, I think it will at least end up looking nice materially.

C.2 The View (Development Permit / Formal)
David Sanche - Westrich

A.Zepp left the meeting for the evening due to a conflict.

MOTION: D. BROWN

Motion of Support with Conditions
The Committee recommends that the Applicant provide Administration with a
landscape plan of sufficient detail, including plant lists, planting details (including
planters over parkade), as well as the height, materials and construction of
townhouse patio walls.
The Committee does not support the proposed location of the transformer adjacent
to the townhouse podium and streetscape. We recommend that the Applicant,
working with City of Edmonton Waste Management and EPCOR, review the site
plan and identify appropriate and feasible locations (eg. SE or NW corner) and
modify accordingly. The Committee also notes that the ultimate location of the
transformer requires appropriate screening.

SECONDED: C. HOLMES

FOR THE MOTION: W. Sims, A.Benoit, D. Brown, S. Kaznacheeva, B. Nolan, C.
Holmes, D. Deshpande
AGAINST: M. Figueira

Always hurts to see built heritage demolished when the city has an ample supply of vacant lots and surface parking...

 

[archited]

Althought neither is an example of substantial architecture, period or otherwise.

 

[Daveography]

Officially under construction

 

[OverheardatYEG]

These pictures truly demonstrate how slim this tower is going to be.

 

[Kaizen]

From today.

 

[Daveography]

I feel for the neighbours...

 

[archited]

That's what we like to see -- efficiency -- moving right along while application for shoring, excavation and site work is in, work is getting done. Construction documents underway and no time lost.

Hoping they'll be able to carry along with the same pace even with winter nearing.

Winter shouldn't slow things down until they get to the bottom of the hole and have to start coming back up.
