Unionville.
Historic homes of Unionville
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.
