CONTROVERSIAL plans to build a ‘floating house’ in a York street – which neighbours have been fighting for four years – will be decided by councillors today. Previous proposals by developer Michael Hammill to build over an access lane in Howard Street, off Fulford Road, one of which involved a drop-down airplane style stairway instead of a staircase, were either withdrawn or rejected by planners. But officers are recommending the latest scheme for the Victorian street on the edge of the Fulford Road Conservation Area should be approved at an area planning sub-committee meeting this afternoon (Thursday, July 8). The one-bedroom, two-storey, property would be built in the gap across the lane at upper floor level. An archway beneath would allow continued access to land at the rear, where a block of six flats is being built and two Victorian coach houses are being turned into new homes.

An unprecedented heat wave created challenges for B.C. farmers this week, as chicken farmers desperately tried to cool barns to prevent birds from dying, dairy cows gave less milk and raspberry growers watched their crops wither on the vine.
