No station on parkland petition from Lakeview asks A delegation of seven resident presented to council a petition signed by people representing households of or so In the subdivision Their petition entered strong objections to the erection of the CNR station or any other building in parkland George Scott acted aa for the group and ussion on the matter took up a good deal of councils time at different points during the meeting Finally council endorsed the petition in principle on a split vote No recommendation A second part of the same motion failed in it the mover and seconder deputyreeve Marks and reeve proposed council recommend to parka board they consider designating the parkland on Dr north of the lake as open space parkland The possibility council was usurping parks boards responsibilities and the desire for more consideration first caused this vote to fall Just the mover and seconder voted in favor of It points In his presentation to council Mr Scott listed their reasons the is attractive and the building would detract it Is not architecturally suitable and would dominate the area there no parking a change room there would encourage swimming In a area where there arc inherent dangers safety and security were concerns for fire there Is no road access who would the building and how well It would contribute to depress real estate values In the subdivision Mr Scott pointed out the group had no intention of criticizing the Lions club or the station itself To some there is a place for it but It Is not In Attending the meeting with Mr Scott were Tony Wilson Vic Morris Fred Bennett Steve Jim Gibb and Jan Wegman Mr Scott explained about homes had not been contacted He presented the brief and pages of signatures to the mayor give opinions After Mayor Les thanked the group for bringing their concern council this way he polled all councillors getting the strongest reaction from councillor Norm Elliott Mr Elliott was the one who originally relayed to Council the lions club request for support In their bid to get the soon-to-be- abandoned station and keep it in town WOd speculations Agitated Mr Elliott declared his regret the situation has reached such a development Its unfortunate that this idea has been crucified more than the Lions club deserve People made all kinds of wild speculations before the Lions made ft clear what they Intended People assumed the building would be dumped a detriment They talked about noise This was by no means intended Mr Elliott stated Two or three sponsors themselves Live not far away Had concerns The Lions as longtime citizens were concerned about recreation and wanted to see more organized development of recreation around the lake like canoeing and rowing and a more involved swimming program The plan was by no means intended to produce this tremendous outpouring of feeling Parks board and the service club can work this out amicably Mr Elliott asserted and he too had doubt about its positioning The publicity has been a bad thing he felt somebody should endorse the position taken by the service club he continued Some of the remarks in the newspaper were a complete and utter assassination of the service club Reeve McKenzle said he didnt read such strong feeling Into peoples reactions and Mr Elliott continued to state his feelings later in discussion Club distressed The Lions were extremely distressed they got no little credit he declared They Intended to renovate completely and supervise I think they are being attacked Mr Elliott Insisted adding he too feels that location Is wrong But I defend their project Mr Scott repeated his group was not attacking the lions ana there Is no harm In publicity He thought It might have been wise for the Lions to talk to the people and to let the local press know their objectives It seemed right and proper for us to express our views at this time he concluded Mayor interjected the CNR too felt that publicity is premature Councillor Coats who sees the building every day agrees It is unique and its looks are maybe its asset He pointed out zoning allows buildings on recreational land More places are needed for small meetings has a building tor bridge and stamp clubs Its up to parks board Barry reported no definite decision has been made by parks board alternatives were considered Councillor Masai pointed he had not been contacted and personally had the same feelings as the delegation Councillor Chapman agreed ho saw problems with the building In area Some discussion hinged on the matter of whether or not a recommendation should be made to parks board before the resolution was prepared Mayor reminded the delegation council has only spelled out their position as being In support of the bid to purchase
