Kanichis could not understand the communitys determination in designating the building, saying in the all the years The Carpet Palace has been at that location, no one has stopped in and asked, Is this where Lucy Maud Montgomery mailed her letters? Theres nothing stopping us now, he said optimisti- cally. Kanichis said the duo is willing to work with Town staff to reach a compromise on the remaining issues, before the scheduled August 28 Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing. The Carpet Palace owners had appealed the Towns Committee of Adjustment decision to deny variances to allow the building to be moved to the back of the lot. However, Kanichis said he would consult his lawyer before the duo consider with- drawing their OMB appeal as they were urged by members of council Monday night. It was also a night of small victories for the residents of Norval including members of the Norval Community Association and Womens Institute. All along these groups stated the clauses within the Norval Secondary Plan were being ignored and feared the impact on the village if the road improvements happened. Council recognized the Secondary Plan by requesting The Carpet Palace keep to the current footprint with minor modifications to deal with the ongoing safety issues for truck traffic, and by requesting Halton Region adhere to the Plan when planning traffic improvements on Adamson St. and at the Guelph St./Adamson St. inter- section. Council also informally directed staff to come back with a report on the potential costs of downloading Adamson St. (a regional road) to the Town. The NCA had urged that the street become a Town road to better preserve the village character. While council refused to designate the building, and to not send the matter back to Heritage Halton Hills for a third look, council did wean a public commitment from Kanichis at Mondays meeting, to negotiate on the design of the building to more reflect the Norval village charac- ter and to consider deconstruction instead of demolition, which would allow the salvage of heritage elements in the building for interested community members. But Gastle said Wednesday there is still a whole lot of uncertainty as risk lingers if The Carpet Palace owners dont agree to change the new buildings location yet again back to the existing footprint or implement design changes. As well, Gastle was unclear what decon- struction meant. The NCA has retained its lawyer to participate in the August 28 OMB hearing. However, Gastle said the NCA is looking for a positive outcome on the staff negotia- tions with The Carpet Palace so that everyone would be spared the expense of going to the OMB. Gastle noted the staff report admitted errors in the HHHs handling of the designation question, and she felt that decision should have been sent back there again for another evaluation but handled in a different manner than it was (a sole evaluator). In its last decision on the matter Monday, council directed Chief Administrative Officer Dennis Perlin to hire a lawyer and planning staff to defend the Committee of Adjustment decision at the OMB. The Towns own staff cannot defend the Committees decision as they supported The Carpet Palaces request for the variances. However, council was reluctant to vote on this for fear it would colour negotiations with The Carpet Palace, but Perlin said he needed the six weeks to find a lawyer and planning staff. The OMB, if it goes ahead, will be held 10 a.m. at the Civic Centre.
