Barber shop bid for former Ron Sloan storefront

An application will be heard at Committee of Adjustment tomorrow (Wednesday, June 11, 2014) to permit a barber shop at 1491 Bayview Ave. That’s the location where for so many years the Ron Sloan Racquet Specialist Shop did business. The tennis service closed one year ago this month after 38 years on Bayview and the space has been vacant that whole time. The application will address some of the onerous old Town of Leaside bylaw provisions — still applying — like the requirement for ten — (yes you heard it right) — ten parking spaces connected with the business. The applicant proposes zero. The committee gets underway at 10 a.m. at 5100 Yonge Street.
