City Solicitor asked to oppose driveway widening appeal at Windermere Avenue property
A resident's appeal of a refused driveway-widening variance request is before the Toronto Local Appeal Body. Council authorizes the City Solicitor to attend and argue for maintaining the refusal, citing preservation of streetscape and tree canopy. This is a routine procedural authorization with narrow scope, one address, one feature.
