Compromise 'no benefit' By FRANCES NIBLOCK The New Tanner An Acton developer is unhappy with a compromise resolution worked out by Town council last week con- cerning the proposed devel- opment of Leathertown Junc- tion on the south side of the intersection of Young Street and Guelph Street, the old Ajax building. While council still insists that the owners of Bower Street Investments -- the Fread and Rivers families of Acton-- must provide an up- dated retail market analysis to support their request for additional uses and space in the proposed plaza, circula- tion of the development ap- plication won't be delayed until the report is ready. Nor- mally the Town won't circu- late. development applica- tions to commenting agen- cies until all of the key stud- ies are complete. Outside of the council chambers following council's decision property co-owner Doug Fread complained that the study was not necessary and that the compromise would be of no benefit to Bower Street Investments. It wants approval for an 8,000 square foot general merchan- dise store (not currently per- mitted) and an additional 75 square metres to increase the permitted size of a pharmacy and speciality food store. Fread said the current zon- ing doesn't permit an anchor store and prospective tenants won't commit until the an- chor tenant has been signed. An Ontario Municipal Board decision ruled that any COME ON, LET'S PLAY department store in Acton should be built on land east of Churchill Road currently owned by Brookfield Homes, which has objected to the Leathertown Junction rezon- ing applications. Town planning director Bruce MacLean noted the Town's current retail market analysis does not support the Leathertown Junction appli- cations. He cautioned coun- cil that not requiring the up- dated market analysis would = them at risk of a possi- le lawsuit for not following their own policies. Councillor Rick Bonnette argued that nothing has changed in Acton since the last retail market analysis was done in 1991 and that it wasn't reasonable to ask the developer to pay $6,000 to $7,000 to update that study.
