Yet another Toronto neighbourhood is taking issue with one of their neighbours who has, in what appears to be a trend, started construction on two “monster” homes that locals say flagrantly clash with all of the other houses on the street.

Residents of a quiet, short crescent near Kingston Road and Main in the Upper Beaches have been complaining that the remodel project is too tall, takes up too much of the lot and is “ruining a quaint little street.”

They are also up in arms about the fact that the owners have decided to divide up a single property — with homes slated for the addresses 29A and 29B Glen Stewart Crescent — calling the move selfish, money hungry and more in posts to various neighbourhood Facebook groups.

But, the work appears to be in line with all relevant City of Toronto zoning regulations, though barely, with the first of the two homes coming in at just .03 feet shy of the maximum allowable height for a structure at that location (32.78 feet vs. the cap 32.81 feet).

The specs of the project are also the result of multiple variances appealed for and approved by the Toronto Local Appeal Body, going above existing bylaws for things such as lot size and other dimensions.
