rl Vol. 2, No. 32 Tuesday, February 16, 1993 CIRC.10,000 28 pages Parking concern for Legion apt. plans Concerns over lack of parking and the size of a proposed non- profit apartment building on land owned by the Port Perry Legion were raised again at a public hearing Monday evening in the Scugog council chambers. "The parking must reflect the possibility of 40 units and that means 40 spots," said Ward 2 councillor Marilyn Pearce. But Barry Knoll who is the architect for the 40 unit building known as Legion Manor, said up to 26 parking spots will be &vailable with the Branch 419 parking lot taking any overflow. Mr. Knoll said the 26 spots are more than required by Township by-laws for a building with most of the units geared for seniors. This is a key point as the project by the Legion was originally intended exclusively for senior citizens. However, changes in provincial rules make it an apartment for seniors, singles and families. There will be 382 single bedroom units and eight units with two bedrooms, said Mr. Knoll. The building will front on Balsam St. and be immediately south of the Legion Hall. Several residents who live on or near Balsam Street expressed concern at the public meeting over the parking requirements and the size of the three storey structure in a neighbourhood that is now mainly bungalows. "It's a great idea, wrong location," said Skip Pothier, adding this might set ac precedent for the council te-fe- zone other green space areas for multi-res developments. . Port Perry Branch 419 owns the land and proposes to build and manage the apartments on a non-profit basis with CMHC mortgage backing.
