Recommendation Adopted by City Council – Intent to Designate – Ormsby/Franceschini Estate – Mimico

Following message is from Michael Harrison regarding the Mimico Estates:

Good Afternoon:

Today, Toronto City Council adopted the recommendation from Etoicoke-York Community Council to designate the “Mimico Estates” – Ormsby/Franceschini Estate under the Ontario Heritage Act. The recommendation is that the city declare its intent to designate the property under the Act. The next step is for the city to notify the owner, and place a notice in the newspaper, of the intent to designate the property under the Act.

If there are no appeals against the intent to designate the property during the appeal period (30 days) the City will bring forward the bylaw designating the property under the Ontario Heritage Act at a later date (usually a few months). If there is an appeal then there will be a hearing before the Conservation Review Board. The Board will hear evidence and issue a decision. The decision is final.

Thanks everyone for your continuing support.

Michael
