福莱将建造新公寓楼

A highrise apartment building in downtown Fredericton was been given the go-ahead by the city's planning advisory committee on Wednesday night.
The committee approved a plan by developer Tony George to build a 44-unit apartment complex near York and Victoria streets in the capital's downtown.
The project met opposition from some area residents, who argued that the building would block the sun and cast long shadows onto their yards.
The building was originally slated to be an eight-storey complex but in a letter sent to the city's planning advisory committee, George stated he would be willing to lower it to seven-storeys with underground parking.
The change was meant as a compromise to appease the opposing residents.
The advisory committee was also told that constructing a six-storey building with surface parking was an option the developer was willing to look at. But members of the community who attended the meeting were opposed to the idea because it would take up green space.
Despite the compromise that's been met, residents still aren't happy the building will be constructed in their community, said Jeanette Robertson, who spoke on behalf of 12 local residents at the meeting.
"I just really feel that we've been threatened with some nasty kind of parking lot if we don't say yes to this building," Robertson said. "I mean it is a nice building — I just don't want it behind my house."
Robertson said the building was too big for the mostly residential area and described it as a "beast."
A warehouse currently occupies the property, and its zoning allows for commercial or residential development.
