Immortal Homes has plans for a four-storey, 20-unit apartment at 3593 Lakeshore Road near Boyce Gyro Beach Park.

Several councillors felt the building wasn害羞草研究所檛 aesthetically pleasing.

害羞草研究所淚 think it害羞草研究所檚 incumbent on them also to make sure the building is attractive to the neighbours and I think that, at least from my assessment, it looks mundane and plain,害羞草研究所� Coun. Luke Stack said.

Coun. Maxine DeHart added that she was particularly concerned with the look of the east side of the building.

害羞草研究所淚 think it looks like a hospital wall. I don害羞草研究所檛 think it害羞草研究所檚 acceptable. We want them (developer) here, but we also want the neighbourhood to thrive.害羞草研究所�

Staff told council that there were several discussions with the developer and that some changes have been made, but they (staff) were not overly happy with the form and character of the building.

Coun. Gord Lovegrove was also underwhelmed with the project.

Council deferred approval of a development permit to allow the applicant to work with staff and revise the project, with Lovegrove opposed.
