Councillors voted unanimously to re-zone the property
Despite a gallery filled with concerned neighbours, city council has voted unanimously tonight to approve zoning changes allowing a 49-unit residential complex on the former Manitou Park Public School property.
The project is expected to consist of nine semi-detached buildings containing a total of 18 dwelling units, three multiple attached buildings with a total of 11 dwelling units, and two three-storey apartment buildings containing a total of 20 units. A freeze on building the three-storey apartment buildings has been imposed until further studies are done to fully understand the site's limitations.
The housing project is being developed by five local investors – Bud Jones, James Caicco, Dan Nogalo, Andrea Zavitz and Marcel Giordano.
