Letter re Demolition Control – 358 Arlington Avenue

Dear Sir,
Re: Demolition Control – 358 Arlington Avenue (File D07-05-09-0008)
We are strongly opposed to the demolition of residential buildings without constructing replacement residential units.
We are unaware of any good planning circumstances at this address that would make demolition a benefit to the neighbourhood. To the contrary, a vacant lot will:
• have a negative effect on the cohesiveness of the neighbourhood and streetscape,
• constitute a loss of much needed affordable housing,
• be contrary to the OP requirement for intensification, and
• allow the disruption caused by the truck deliveries at the adjacent restaurant, to extend further into the neighbourhood to the west.
Demolition should not occur until a building permit is issued for replacement housing.
Yours truly,
Eric Darwin, President
Dalhousie Community Association
