Varley Village Infill by-law survey.
Unionville
Councillors have initiated the residents survey to support their stand
on the issue of so called "infill by-law.,which, in short, will limit
the size of homes in Varley Village (part of Unionville adjacent to
historic Main Street Unionville). The idea of the by-law came to life
when group of residents complained about the MONSTER HOMES being build
on Pomander Road . Residents argued that the Varley Village build in
1960s, deserve preservation as a planned community with larger lots and
mix of bungalows , back-splits and two-storey homes. Those older homes
gradually being modernized and in many cases, replaced with custom
designed larger homes up to 6000 sq feet .The trend has created great
demand for Unionville properties which can be turned in to larger
dwellings.Residents opposing the trend believe that this devalue their
properties , creates more traffic,take away privacy and character of the
Village .On the other side are the residents who want to take advantage
of the trend , rebuild their homes and in doing so be not restricted
now, when the several larger homes have already been built.They say also
that the value of their property will decrease when by-law changed ,
and restrictions imposed effectively discouraging small investors and
developers form taking on such projects in Varley Village and since
other areas will be not restricted. I would say do not fix something
which is working and just focus on some more important things like
traffic infiltration and pathways or deforestation of the Unionville
area.
