There is considerable interest across South Bayview Wednesday morning in a meeting scheduled for this evening at the Leaside Library. It is convened by a company called the Brown Group to explain its proposal for a nine-storey so-called mixed use building on South Bayview between Soudan and Hillsdale Aves. The development would sit in Ward 22 (Josh Matlow) and require the demolition of four old brick bungalows on Bayview, a townhome complex plus two other homes on Soudan and the aging building known as the Hillsdale Apartments at the corner of Bayview and Hillsdale. There is much to know about this proposal and one can be sure there will be fierce resistance to revisions that would allow a building of this height. Councillor Matlow tweeted tartly that the developer is proposing the wrong building for Davisville and is holding the meeting in Leaside. The development would take out the properties between 1674 Bayview (the Hillsdale Apartments) and 1684 Bayview. As well, it would remove 720 Hillsdale and 701 to to 713 Soudan. The map shows residential buildings in green, commercial properties in purple. The single commercial site is a former physicians office in a converted bungalow. The meeting is scheduled for tonight, Wednesday, December 3, 2015 at 7 p.m. in the Leaside Library on McRae Drive. A phone number and contact names are provided in the notice: Laura MacCormick or Sherman Brown at (416) 222-0344 extension 122. Previous High interest in Brown Group meeting tonight
