INSIDE KTLeiper on resident/developer conflicts ‘That dynamic can change’

Story by Steven Fouchard

Kitchissippi’s city councillor says he’s hopeful regular ward forums will make for less antagonistic relations

between developers and residents as the community continues to intensify.

“I think the mainstream feeling in Kitchissippi is that planning is proceeding in a less thought-ful way than [residents] would like,” says Jeff Leiper. “The most progressive builders will tend to talk to the community first and try the best they can within their parameters to incorporate community feedback into their final designs. But often times it does wind up in a more adver-sarial relationship.”

He points to a pair of recent proposals — an 18-storey, mixed-use project by Tega Homes for 233 Armstrong and seven townhouse units that will replace two singles at Clare and Hilson — as emblematic of the current state of affairs.

The city’s denial of 233 Armstrong was sub-ject to an appeal at the Ontario Municipal Board, which ruled it could move forward. Leiper says residents around the Clare and Hilson project would likely have seen the same result had it been appealed.

“We still have a lot of infill going in that re-quires a significant number of variances and we tend to see those approved. The development isn’t stopping in Kitchissippi and is still proceed-ing at a pace that is a cause for discomfort

among residents.”He notes that community groups don’t

necessarily keep up with these issues, though Kitchissippi has many with long histories of working collaboratively with developers.

“I’m thinking particularly of Champlain Park, Hintonburg, Westboro. You have these com-munity associations that go to the committee of adjustment as a fairly routine thing. Where you have community associations that are active we tend to see more willingness on the part of the builder to work with the community. That’s something I hope we’ll be addressing over the next four years; just making sure our community associations are as strong and well-equipped as possible to deal with what will continue to be a fair number of development applications.”

Leiper held his first-ever ward forum in Janu-ary, and says he’s pleased with the turnout of over 100 residents.

“We heard an outpouring of concerns about the neighbourhood. As long as we’re doing it fairly regularly, I’m hoping the dynamic will move from expressing concerns to expressing best practices, strategies, and information shar-ing, to help us deal with some of the intensifica-tion pressures we’re under.”

He hopes the quarterly meetings will em-power residents to be as proactive as possible on development issues and, ultimately, improve relations on both sides.

KT DECOR2015 Trends Mix Metals and Renovate the Kitchen Now!

Story by Mary Taggart

One of the most exciting times for décor trends is right now! 2015 is full of promise for good things to come

on the style front, with a variety of trends on the scene that offer up something for every taste.

If your style leans towards traditional, bring it up-to-date by adding some contemporary pieces. Trade in an old coffee table for the clean lines of a glass and metallic cocktail table. Gold continues to make a strong impression in décor, and works beautifully within traditional spaces. Add some tradition to contemporary décor to create a warmer environment; a touch of gold can do this beautifully.

Mixing metals is right on trend, but proceed with caution; when a space is dominated by one metal, add just a few touches of another so that the new element can stand out and enhance the overall look. Mixing and matching is big for 2015, and its cohesive feel is unexpected. Blend woods, metallic and textures to create intrigue

with global inspiration. Wallpaper continues to create interest, and

strong bold patterns are all the rage. Papering one wall effectively updates a space without overwhelming the look. In a bedroom, add

The kitchen is the most important space for 2015. If a renovation is on the horizon, now is the time to do it! Kitchen trends call for user-friendly designs and eye-catching décor. Collectors will relish in the trend towards open shelving, where collections can take centre stage. Bring colour into cabinets with grey continuing to make a strong impression but white being a dominant choice moving forward. Islands have not only become a gathering space for entertaining and serving up family-style meals, they are also dressed up as beautiful

pieces of furniture. A backdrop of white cabinets offset with a dark wood, or even a black island is right on trend. Create a contemporary feeling within this more traditional style by going with a waterfall counter top.
