From: Ken Hemmerling ( A Malmo Past President)
In the mailbox at the hall this week was a Notice of Public Hearing regarding the Michener Park redevelopment. As you may recall, the south edge of the development is a stormwater pond area as shown in the blue area of this map:
A section of the building area immediately next to the storm water pond was originally planned to be a maximum of four stories (16m). The notification in the mail this week is for public hearing to increase the height of those buildings to six stories (23m) as shown in this image:
Personally, I don’t have any objection to this as 1) the affected area is far from Malmo and so there’s no worry of taller buildings looking into the yards of Malmo residents, 2) the taller buildings are set back from Whitemud drive so it shouldn’t be a problem for the residents, and 3) taller buildings could help block more of the noise from Whitemud Drive and 122 st..
