The proposal would see an addition built on the property, transforming the single family dwelling into a 16-unit condo with 24 below ground parking stalls and 10 above ground spots.
Coun. Jason Mancinelli (Ward 9)and Coun. Landon Mohl (Ward 10) were absent for the vote.
Ward 2 Coun. Bob Hawkins was characteristically unflinching in his support for the preservation of the city’s heritage properties.
“Approval of Mr. Lien’s proposal would drive a stake through the heart of our heritage bylaw, which is meant to protect our past,” said Hawkins.
Carmen Lien had proposed keeping the original facade while renovating the interior and adding a large addition.
