The plan calls for the main house to be torn down, but Oakville resident and developer Marc Hewitt, who's at the helm of Edgemere Estate Ltd., says the wrecking ball will stop there. The five "historical structures" on the site, all built in the early 1900s, will be restored and preserved. This plan for up to 30 housing units on the 12-acre property at 1502 Lakeshore Rd. E., once listed at $45 million, was put before a small, invite-only gathering of close neighbours Saturday afternoon. 270 Oak Park Blvd., Oakville (Trafalgar & Dundas) 905.845.4211 · Sales@oakvilledodge.com See Proposal page 3 End insurance confusion.
