Town of Collingwood, Ontario, Canada

Admiral Collingwood Place Developer Steve Assaff was back in front of Collingwood Council at a special council meeting held on Saturday June 30, 2007. Assaff says revised plans for the multi-million dollar condominium - retail development include a height reduction and revisions to the building's design. Downtown Heritage guidelines presently limit the height of any new building to 11 metres. The original design of the Admiral Collingwood project called for a maximum height of 22 metres. The two sides continue to talk, with the next special meeting of council scheduled for Tuesday July 3, 2007.

"The previous council and this council have all been unanimous in wanting to see that site develop" Carrier said on the "Chats" program on 95.1 The Peak on Friday May 4th. "I mean I didn't vote to knock down the old Admiral Collingwood School because I wanted to look at an empty lot for the next four years" Carrier said.

An agreement between the Town and Developers would eliminate the need for the ten day scheduled OMB Hearing to begin on July 9th.
