BIG BLOCK OF FLATS
Proposal To Council
i A six-storey block of flats |on the eastern corner of Cambridge terrace and Montreal street was approved in principle by the City Council last evening on the recommendation of its town planning committee. The siting of the block complied with all requirements, but the applicant wanted to provide for 15 units, three on each of five floors, the committee said. As they were each two-bedroom units, provision was being made for the accommodation of 45 persons. Under the code of ordinances of the planning scheme, the number of people provided for was governed by the size of the site—22o square feet for each person. This allowed for 36 persons on the site.
In the particular case there was an unusually large amount of open space next to the site on the south side, the committee said, recommending that approval be given in principle solely because of the unusual Circumstances.
