Kingsville Mayor Dennis Rogers says council decision on six -storey height limits is necessary to avoid costly appeals of council decisions that could see even higher structures.

The town is facing inevitable changes to height limits given the province’s pressure on municipalities to build 1.5 million new homes by 2031 .

The lands under consideration for increased heights are around the area of Kingsville District High School , known as Main Street Neighbourhood .

Anne Marie Lemire made an impassioned plea for city council to stick to the official plan’s existing building heights.

For five years , Lemire opposed a condominium adjacent to her property behind the Esther Jasperson Campbell House .

She lamented what she said were flip-flops by council.

A motion by Deputy Mayor Kimberley DeYong to push the issue to the Feb. 10 meeting was approved.
