Overall size, height, lot coverage, square footage are issue. Look again at the neighbourhood article, with the pictures. In one case the house that was torn down was classic brady bunch 1950s and replaced by a monster faux victorian. The neighbours would love to have the 1950s or even a 2010s home, just not 55 feet tall. My personal dislike of faux victorian almost matches my personal dislike for monster homes.
Dartmouth, Halifax, and maybe it is too late for Argyle, downtown. Hard to allow noise next to the suites hotel they built on Argyle... what a shame. That is going to be a very tough issue to negotiate.

Well if my memory of the peninsula LUB is correct, most areas of the south end are limited to 35' tall for single detached dwellings, with the exception of a couple spots which were recently downzoned to 30'. So I don't know how they would be 55' tall, unless it had to do with that obscure definition of height that only takes it up to the eaveline and then the 'peak' can be as high as you want? Maybe I'm not understanding the issue...
