Tend to agree - however, Oak st. is called out as an 'established neighborhood' in the city policy documents and developments abutting it need to be sensitive (compatible) with that. However, I wouldn't think that would stop them from building something at least 4-5 stories tall with terracing towards Oak (and the two houses on the corner of Oak and Linden), nor would it stop them from expanding into the rear lot where the chimney is located. I honestly can't imagine the development not expanding to the rear to somehow incorporate the "heritage chimney"
