    inappropriate. Further, we submit that the City of Vaughan should not condone the actions of misrepresentation by Lormel (and its related company Ozner) when selling homes to citizens operating in good faith. We therefore strongly urge the City of Vaughan to reject the proposed amendment in its totality so that the plot of land remains as originally zoned – that is – for a low rise commercial plaza. In the alternative, we ask that the City of Vaughan reject the building of the 9-storey structure specifically, and only allow for the building of townhomes on the property. We thank you for your time and consideration. Should you have any questions, or wish to discuss this matter with us, please do not hesitate to contact us. All of which is respectfully submitted.
