Emploi et Immigration Canada Lloyd Axworthy Ministre i+l Canada OMB library hearing (From page 1) hearing to give evidence in support "of the objectors, because he is in Europe on business. In ruling against the request, Mr. Wilkes said that in the opinion of the OMB panel, any background information on the library site issue could have been given by an objector other than Dr. Dymond, and that his presence at the hearing ~ was not required. The request for postpone- ment was an attempt to move the library issue out of the OMB's hands and into the political arena during this year's election campaign. Mrs. Myrtle Prentice, one of the two principle objectors to the lakefront site, told the Star at the conclusion of Tuesday's hearing that even if the OMB rules against the. objectors, they will launch an appeal to the provincial Cabinet in an effort to stall the issue until after the municipal election. Mrs. Prentice said the matter should be decided by the electorate, and she suggested that the pro- library site members of the . present council will be defeated at the polls this November over this issue, | and tires, invest in a wheel STEE THIS WAY...

At issue is a zoning by-law passed by Scugog council last year which if approved would split the two acre site of the old Lake Scugog Lumber property on Water Street. Half the land front- ing on Water Street would be the location of a new $315,000 library building, while the remainder of the land front- ing on the actual shoreline of Scugog would be zoned permanent open space park- land. The objectors, led by Mrs. Prentice and Caesarea resi- dent Roy Grierson, have maintained that all of the land should be turned into park, and that there should be no new buildings on the Port Perry waterfront. The hearing which got underway on Tuesday is the second one in front of the Ontario Municipal Board. The first, held in April of this year, rejected the re-zoning, but at the same time said the whole matter should be sent back to the municipality for further consideration. Following the procedural wrangling over whether the hearing should be postponed, almost all of Tuesday's evi- dence was given by Town- _----ship- planner=John--McDer--- .- mott, who is associate direc- tor of planning with the consulting firm of Totten, " Sims and Hubicki. Mr. McDermott told the hearing that the land for the library site is 35,668 square feet, and the portion of the land on the lakefront is 38,000 square feet. Under questioning by Mr. Fowler, Mr. McDermott said the actual library building will take up 20 per cent of the 35,668 square feet; parking and a bookmobile ramp would take up 19 per cent, and the remaining 61 per cent would be landscaped. Mr. McDermott testified that in his opinion as a professional planner, a AROUND TOWN Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Espie have recently returned to their home on 206 Cochrane 'St. after several years in Alberta.

However, under question- ing by Mr. Aldred and Mr. Wilkes, Mr. McDermott did say that a continuous un- broken belt of parkland along the waterfront would be desirable and also from a strictly planning point of view, it would be more desir- able to leave the entire property as open space. Referring to the amount of parkland already in Port Perry, Mr. McDermott said there appears to be enough to meet the needs of the present population, and there is an additional 11.7 acres of undeveloped park- land at present. He said that the proposed library site would not generate traffic in a residen- tial area, and that traffic dangers to children using the library would be minimal because of sidewalks along Water Street from Queen Street. Mr. McDermott told the hearing that the proposed use of half the property for a library site conforms with - the Durham Regional Offi- cialPlan, The issue over whether to locate a new library on the lakeside property on Water Street has been a burning one in Scugog Township for over a year. The Library Board has plans to build a new library of about 5500 square feet at a cost of $315,000. Wintario has agreed to pay $100,000 towards this, Town- ship council has ear-marked another $100,000, and the remainder would come from public and corporate contri- butions. The former Lake Scugog Lumber property was purchased by the Township in 1978 from Port Perry businessman Ken Jackson for $150,000, the same price which he purchased it from Lake several months earlier. The second OMB hearing which opened on Tuesday morning may conclude today (Wednesday, September 3). However, OMB panel .thairman Peter Wilkes said at the outset that objectors would be given the opportun- ity to address the hearing. It is not known how many will take the stand to give evi- dence. And there is a possi- bility the hearing may runan extra day because of the number of witnesses that are expected to be called by the Township and the Library Board in support of the lake- side location.: _-- - CALL - SCUGOG FINANCIAL SERVICES 250 QUEEN STREET - PORT PERRY PHONE 985-3832 All Members of Canada Deposit Insurance Corp.
