Memorial Park is a piece of green space that is very close to the centre of Newcastle," stated Lovekin. "Once it has been developed it will never be green space again. We should be protecting protecting green space." Councillor Jim Schell question Lovekin as to his definition of the downtown core, as Memorial park was within the BIA footprint. Memorial Park is in what is defined in the Clarington Official Plan as the downtown business area, according to Lovekin. "The BIA favours a library that is truly in the core of the village, rather than a building constructed to the east of residential homes in the village," Lovekin stated. This year will be memorable memorable for the introduction of the Greenbelt Protection Plan according to Lovekin. "Closer to home we have bylaws which protect parks in the town of Newcastle. We should not be eyeing green space for development when there is undeveloped or underdeveloped land in the downtown core", Lovekin stated. Besides expressing the BlA's desire as to where they would like the new library to be built, Lovekin also told council what type of building they would like. "A two story building would remajn true to the architectural character ôf the village," stated Lovekin. Following his presentation, Mayor John Mutton told Lovekin that the cost of operating operating a two storey library is quite a bit more than the cost of operating a one story library, Councillors approved in principle the recommendations recommendations contained in the Newcastle Village Community Community Library Needs Assessment Study, including the recommended recommended size, site criteria. They also approved Memorial Park as the preferred site for a new branch. The "Needs Assessment Study" was referred to the Finance Department for consideration consideration during the 2006 budget deliberations. Lovekin said in his presen- . tation,"finally, let me say that I am proud to work in a community community where the issue of the day is where to put our new library; and that the value of this project has never been an issue."
