He said Wittington wants to feel free in con- science 10 allow the towa or Cullen to move the bouse sbould the June 30 deadine pass without concrete arrangements with the society. "lWîttington's con- cern," Schilling said, "is tliat tlie society may lose wbat littie control it May bave over the future of thie bouse and thie site." "lWe took on a major task of the feasibility study and have taliced to Lindsay and will to Cullen ... lioping for an extension." Len Cullen says, however, thie July 1 date is not negotiable. "I wrote in January and speled it out. I told tlie society I needed to know by July 1 if they were coming. It (Lynde House) would need to be moved and be in place by the end of August. "We're doing a lot of building at the gardens this summer, and we want the mess ail at on- ce."1 Culen said that the site that bad been decided on forthe bouse would nôt be available after Juiy 1. He did not close tlie door on Cullen Gardens as a site, liowever. Any negotiation done after the ,July 1 deadine would bave. to be for another location at thé gardens, be said. Marshall' Macklin Monaglian, consultants bired by the society, will do a feasibility study in two phases, Regan Hut- cheson, project planner in beritage resource, said. Phase I wiii consist of a relocation, structural, and restoration analysis plus a needs assessment which will involve talking toekey people i the community e.g. mnembers of town coun- cil, the arcbivist, and directors or curators of other museuins in the region. A telephone survey wouid be used to sound out people in Whitby on their views, sucb as bow they would feel about supporting a museum with their tax dollars, wbether tbey've visited Lynde House, wbetber they tbink it's in the best location, or what tbey consider the best location to be. 1At the end of Phase 1, Regan said the socîety had the option to stop or proceed to Phase II whicb would involve a functional analysis In- cluding staffing and space, as weli as a study of programming e.g. do the schoois make use of the facility? - wouid it fit *in with some of the courses of study? The $1,000 donated by ACO will boost the societ's assets to about $24,000, more than enougli to cover1 their baîf of the $28,032 charged for tlie study. It won't, however, begin to psy for possible restoration and moving costs, sliould the study indicate tliis course or action. Renovation costs alone bave previously been. estimated at -$100,000. ."Now that we bave a plan of action," Oyagi said, Ilwe. can begin raising funds. " Referring to divisions wbich plagued th society during the past year hesaâid, "I hope the. members wili raily around as tbey have in the past. It is a time to get together. " Members of the society will have a chance to ask questions of the consultants about the feasibility study at the next generai meeting ïon June 24 at 8 p.m. in Fairview Lodge, Oyagi said. Represen- tatives from the Ministry of Culture and Citizensbip will also be there. town core. Because the Sorichet- tis were planning to break ground qn their project very soon, Little knew, the biggest ob- stacle ln bis path Was the time be needed to secure the necessary municipal approvals but Short assured bim the town -would do everything in its power to expedite tlie process. "The project provides an opportunity to establisb a unique set- ting with a nice ambien- ce for a commercial set- ting. That's one of the tbings we look at, using traditional elements to maintain the past and still stimulate commer- cial development," said Short. "We're trying to work very quickly on this. There are somne mînor details that stili bave to be tied up but we'Il make sure there are no bitches." the homes until June 20 wbicli Little belleves is ample ime to accom- plisb tbe moves. He bas now bired a mover and last week work got under way, to prepare the two brick bouses, for the move across tbe street. Little said it would cost in the neigbbourbood Of $lO,000 to move tbe homes. At two and a bal stories in heigbt the homes will stand close to 30 feet once Uiey are mounted on a trailor but only one power line will have, ta corne down to accommodate the move and, more importantly from Little's point of view, none of the large maples and blue spruce fronting tbe street wil have to be cut down.
