actually almost didn't get approvals for a new patio thanks to a couple of anonymous complainers in the neighbourhood.
When the business applied for its cafe patio flanking its building at 68 Wales Avenue earlier this year, it apparently checked all of the necessary boxes for being approved. That is, until three out of nearly 200 locals informed about the forthcoming space via mail — which is a necessary step of the application — opposed it.
This new cafe in Kensington applied for a sidewalk cafe that met all the criteria for approval. 190 mailers were sent out, 3 neighbours complained. It was refused by staff. Luckily,"I looked closely at the application and agreed that the patio met applicable City criteria and fits well into the neighbourhood.
Though the incident came to light quietly and only in recent weeks, it represents what many see as an issue with City processes.Who knows what was in the objections but some of the complaints that come out of public consultations are completely ridiculous.when a select few neighbours complained to the City that the owners didn't have the proper permits to serve to-go espresso drinks.
