The rezoning application, if approved, would allow a day nursery, somte office space, uses by the YWCA and the opportumty to offer educational programis. In a report to the public meeting the Town's planning departmnent noted the existence of residentilal development on ail sides of the property, located at 386 Mill Street. It was also noted that the renovations of the building would meet specifications of the Ministry of Community and Social Services to allow a maximum of 116 children in a day care centre. This number would require parking facilities for 24 parking spaces and a play area of 2790 square meares. The planning departmnent report notes a requirement of 54 parking spaces in total for the Resource Centre but until a final report is prepared it was not known where these would be placed.

Wilshire questioned the need for a Day Care Centre in Newcastle as the Anglican Church was considering a new building which could house a centre and that expansion at the public school in 1993 could well include a day centre. He further stated that a new school proposed for the north-west sector of the Village coulci as well contain a Day Care Centre. As to doctor's offices in the proposed centre Wilshire felt that these were being scattered ail over the Village and should be part of the downtown area. He said a parking lot would have a negative impact for the residential area as would increased traffic. He also said it had becen reported that seniors could make use-of the proposed facility but noted that the Town Hall has and will be available (Continued page 9) The Great Pmne Ridge Kinsmen and Kinettes closed out their year last Tuesday when the annual meetings were held.
