TWO BIG WINS FOR OUR RESIDENTS
On June 17, 2019, Chris Dulaba, developer for Boris Belostotsky, presented to council for approval of a direct control rezoning at 9504-153 Street. This rezoning was to build across from our school a 37 unit apartment with commercial which included a 125 patron bar. The rezoning application did not comply with our Jasper Place Area Redevelopment Plan. 60 residents attended wearing green badges and 25 attendees presented to council. Councillor Dziadyk said he had never seen so many community residents attend a public hearing. Due to our organized front, council listened to us and denied Mr. Belostotsky’s development proposal. Council confirmed that the Jasper Place ARP was important to the community and should be upheld.
On September 4, 2019, Chris Dulaba, representing Boris Belostotsky, appealed at the SDAB to subdivide 9739-155 Street into 3 small non-conforming lots since the city’s Subdivision Authority denied his application. Our league’s presentation as well as the city’s Subdivision Authority and Transportation were able to convince the Appeal Board to deny Mr. Belostotsky’s appeal.

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR CASINO VOLUNTEERS!
We want to express our sincere thanks to all the residents who gave freely of their time to work long shifts at the Silver Palace Casino in West Edmonton Mall on August 21 and 22.
