Cont. from Pg. 1 Young Street, between the liq- uor store and the CN Rail line. The U-shaped building would be at the back of the property, abutting existing homes at the rear, with 141 parking spaces, most of them at the front of the plaza. Acton Councillor Norm Elliott said local councillors are happy to see the project approved and praised Fread and Rivers for their commit- ment to rehabilitate the run- down site. "...and these gentlemen came forward --local entrepre- neurs -- who decided to see this through to the conclusion and unfortunately they had to spend a lot of money to do more studies to get to this point and I commend them for making that commitment," * Elliott said, adding he hopes things start happening on the site. Acton Councillor Rick Bonnette said area residents are satisfied with the latest design for the plaza and agreed it was unfortunate the developers had to update a retail impact study. Review of a previous market impact study showed the develop- ment wouldn't have an ad- verse impact on either the ex- isting or planned retail facili- ties in Acton. Fread said the buildings are deteriorating and he's now going through a "long, in- volved process" to get a demolition permit from the Town. "There are seven different approvals you have to get before you can put in your application for a demolition permit, including approval from the health department, the Region's water and sewer, Union Gas, Union Energy, the Town's engineering depart- ment," Fread said, adding a vacant gas station on the site will also be torn down. In June the Town ordered Bower Street Investments to secure the site to protect safety, or face stiff fines. An environmental assess- ment of the site turned up contamination from a previ- ous wood treating operation and it will have to be cleaned up prior to further develop- ment. Issues including grad- ing, drainage, access, lighting and buffering and screening will be dealt with through the site plan -- building permit process. Town planning director Bruce MacLean said the ap- plicant delayed the planning process by resisting requests for an updated market impact study, necessary to ensure the plaza wouldn't take busi- ness from existing or planed retail facilities. "T suppose when you add it all up it (approval) took a long time -- longer than it should have -- but a large por- tion of that time can be attrib- uted to the lack of the appli- cant supplying the study to us, the period of time he needed to have the study done and give it to use," MacLean said, adding that the turn around time for the Town to deal with the study and bring a report to Council was "reasonable."
