An application to rezone 1131 Nairn Ave., from commercial use to residential mixed-use, along with a number of variances, to allow for a six-storey, 99-unit resident mixed-use building, was approved by the East Kildonan-Transcona community committee following a public hearing on April 8.<\/p><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n
A number of area residents registered in opposition to the project, objecting primarily to the height and increase in traffic.<\/p>\n
The developer agreed in principle to step-down to five storeys in height at the east side of the building, to reduce shadow. Final plans will need to be approved by the committee before construction begins.<\/p>\n
“It is right to have this development here,” Schreyer said. “I believe this is the best I can do.”<\/p>\n
A subdivision and rezoning application for 463 and 465 Edison Ave., to consolidate a newly aquired piece of land with the existing properties, which are zoned for large multi-family development, was also approved. The application met with no opposition.<\/p>\n
Additionally, a public hearing was held for an excess animal permit, to allow for eight cats for a term of five years, for Franjo Bogovic at 32 Trudell Bay.<\/p>\n
During the regular meeting, land dedication reserve funds of $4,000 were approved towards costs of the proposed Mother Earth Nature Park on Gunn Road in Transcona.<\/p>\n
Plans were also approved for an expansion at Springs Christian Academy at 595 Lagimodiere Blvd.<\/p>\n
In addition, “Dardania” was added to the East Kildonan-Transcona street name reserve, following a presentation from members of the Albanian-Canadian Community of Manitoba. The Kingdom of Dardania was a third-century kingdom centred around present-day Kosovoa, and included parts of Albania.<\/p>\n
Community funding for Rainbow Stage’s upcoming production of Ma-Buhay!<\/em>, with $17,000 in per capita grants ($10,000 from Transcona, $7,000 from Elmwood-East Kildonan) was also approved.<\/p> The East Kildonan-Transcona community committee met on April 8.
