Good article: http://www.timescolo...9795/story.html

It has the essential NIMBY elements of the developer squeezing too much out of a lot and also the classic, "I just moved here and they are changing things on me".

Quite funny especially considering this is a four storey building on one of the busiest streets in the city.

These homes were, or still are, owned by John Asfar.

Apartment project stalled

An application to construct a 36-unit apartment building in the 900-block of McKenzie Avenue in Saanich was tabled Monday for the developer to take another look at the design.

The developer was seeking variances related to lot-line setbacks. While planning staff said none of the variances would result in overshadowing or affect the privacy of adjacent properties, council disagreed.
