Ugh. Which one? If I don't know, I probably don't care (in this instance- I'm sure that there are many examples of "protected vistas" that really do deserve protection).
On a street like Queen, proper interaction with the street should be a major requirement. And mixed-use should be prioritized.
Thanks for calling and finding out the reason for us.
My guess would be the large red house two lots east on Queen that is also owned by Polocorp.
I think the Barra Castle property is too far away from Schneider House to affect the vistas.
