" n i, iytyrpavvur'r' Pru'0 Q i7Q'fT.nNr.CfAV- PT1EMBR 16,1987 Parking reli'ef sought i.n Eucli*d lodging house pla - dtho hum n w hrnams to be rovided A Euclid St. lodging house proposai drew both support and criticism from neighboring residents at a public meeting iast week. Lorraine Willis, the applicant, proposed a one-story addition to her existing lodging house at the corner of Euclid and Mary St. W. The ad- dition would have three guest rooms and accommodate a total of 10 lodgers while the existing struc- ture wouid be converted' to a residence for Willis and family members. William Livingstone, represen- ting the applicant, noted that the proposai meets the requirements of the Town's lodging house bylaw, including the accommodation of 10 guests in a total area of 975 sq. ft. in the addition. He said the oniy bylaw the provision of parking spaces on the property. SHe asked administrative com- mittee members for relief frotn that provision since "'None of the people there have vehicles or a licence and it is unlikely they ever will have." Palace St. resident Beryl Stockton had learned earlier in the meeting that three of the persons in the existing lodging house; -and who would live in the addition if ap- proved, are former patients of Whitby Psychiatric Hospital. But councilior Joe Bugelli stated that it was,&"not at issue where they'are from" and committee chairman Marcel Brunelie added that "quality doesn't count," only the number of iodgers. Another resident said the lodgers also had Brian Stockton said the "major concern" would be the impact of the proposai on the neighborhood, noting1that there would no longer be a "traditional building" on the site because of the addition. Joh Midlige, a resident across the street from the property, said he had no objections at ail to the plan. "So you have'no concerns about 10 people in 950 sq. ft? " asked Bugell. "No," repiied Midiige. Bugelli, who had earlier quipped "Are you envisaging bunk beds?" upon learning of the number of lodgers in the guest rooms, said he had "difficulty" accêpting the numbe of lodgers. He also said the application proposed dual use (for the Willis family ànd for the iodgers) with the possibility there rl ca n~v hpnmre nrkiniz "If the lot doesn't allow this type of deveiopment, why pursue it," he asked. Euclid St. resiÏdent Donna Hoare, who said existing iodgers at the residence were "airight" and posed no probiem, asked what guarantees there were against more iodging room in the future. Planrning director Bob Short said a maximum of ýO guest rooms is a provision of the Town's' iodging house bylaw but that council can be "4very specific" and limit the num- ber. "But if down the road, there are 12 people living there, what can I do about it? " asked Hoare. Short responded that zoning can clarify where guest rooms are so that the number is limited. Another resident suggested that This plan is not really acceptable," said Bill Willoughby.. Zoning (R4) already suitable for the existing lodging house and the rezoning is oniy necessary, for the changes proposed. Short said the existing building could also be renovated, internally to accom- modate people, without rezoning. Livingstone said .the application was being made "in good faith. " He noted the "tortured history of. the site" for which' approval and building permits had been granted and later withdrawn. "They're ail my family and have been for 40 years," said Willis, in closing of her lodgers. A recommendation will now be made by planning department. provision that would not be met is constitutional rights. migntsomeuay ujulu..q. -, -.-- GOODBYEISUMME:RI Things to do to improve yourselJtin DowntOWfl wnuuy Have " Cake Pan Renta' " Specialty Cakes Made to Order Corne joing Classe s for Starts Sei Ch Dates anc Your Cake and Eat it too ils ,o Bulk Foods e Cake & Chocolate Supplies our classes in cake decorating and chocolate rn aking r beginners - Cake decorating ,pt., 29,7:O00p.m. - 9:O00p.m. hocolate classes i tîme~s tn he confirmed Starts Oct., 1, 7:00Op.m. - 9:00 p.m. To register, please cali 666-2150 LearnTo Dance HURRY 4PevW $3 Firit 5 meoid i m yehr , Dceurrag 1-ranchised DneStudios Mon-Fri.
