Good find! I've taken some screenshots of some of the images from that document to share here.
Pros: Glad to see they're leaving a bit of park space between the church and the properties, including 18 of the 20 remaining trees on the site. All parking seem to be located within individual garages, so people will be forced to actually use their garages because there is not a secondary outdoor parking space available to them. Four of the eight blocks appear to be 3-bedrooms (24 units total), which is great, and the other four blocks are 2-bedroom units. Trees to be planted along Margaret in front of the foremost row of townhouses.
Cons: I really don't like that they've made this one a contemporary design. Actually, I kind of hate it for this space. This is the location where some amazing mansions once stood; you'd think we could make a nod to the architectural style that would have mattered here. Doesn't appear to be any space for planned landscaping along their internal street, so it might be pretty harsh-looking, particularly combined with the architectural stype. Looks like they're also expanding the church parking lot by providing the space for an extra row of cars on the northwest side.
I don't think it's bad, exactly. A lot of their justifications make some kind of sense. I just wish they were choosing a different style.
