The west of Bayview ratepayers group SERRA will hold a two-hour seminar next month designed to help people in South Bayview avoid disputes with their neighbors when they renovate. This free event will be held Wednesday, March 9, 2016 at Greenwood College School, 445 Mt. Pleasant Rd. at Davisville Ave. It is set to begin at 6.45 p.m. Ferris Varini of SERRA says it’s a chance to learn the planning process. This includes matters such as property variances, Committee of Adjustment and the Ontario Municipal Board. SERRA says these are concerns to residents in Davisville, Leaside and other neighbourhoods. The seminar will offer residents an opportunity to learn about ways to avoid conflict with builders and neighbours prior to and during residential construction. Councillor Josh Matlow (Ward 22) Terry Mills, a professional planer and urban designer and construction lawyer Paul Hancock plan to be present. SERRA board members experienced working with Toronto’s planning process will also be able to answer questions. SERRA is the South Eglinton Ratepayers and Residents Association.
