Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The proposal will not move forward in its current form, but withdrawing without prejudice allows a future application. Residents raised concerns that the proposed house would be too large for the neighborhood, alter its single-family character, and potentially worsen existing basement flooding. A separate land-transfer petition for 6 Fairview Road and 3 Hilda Road was continued to August 27, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.
