I think that this could be the case . You will be presenting to the board with 0 evidence for a hypothetical developments on an entire block you do not even own. As well it took me, someone with no legal or planning background 2 seconds to google the info about recovering legal cost and apparently your lawyers and planners found nothing... in all do respect you my be best saving your money and allowing your property value to increase because of momentum. its a great development and great for the downtown!

It is a great development - no disagreement there! I trust my guys know what they are doing so not worried - they're 100x more qualified than you and I combined - we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out!
I wish you the best of luck. If i had money to pay legal teams and planners id use the money for something else but hey thats me anyways just a question..new to planning world but how come you are using a toronto planning company and not a local firm that is familiar with the area ?
