Henry Joseph of Bowbrook investments had completed his proposai for a 35 acre developmnent on the Baseline of Bowmanviile at Waverley Road proposing commercial development, prestige industrial deveiop- ment as well as a complex to house municipal offices and a hotel complex. The director of planning favoured tbe proposai of prestige industrial deveiop- ment for the area but said the moving of municipal offices to this centre would MI the downtown core of Bowman- ville. He also said be had doubts of the commercial development, a large food store etc. as Bowmanville now appears to have ade- quate outiets and especialiy with further proposed com- mercial development in the eastern section of the Town. H1e aiso said lie would not want tLo invest bis money in a hotel that did not have entrance until Waveriey road and clear access to the Highway. The director quaiified his statements as oniy first imnp- ressions and would like furtb- er timne to study the prop- osais. Bowbrook Investments now have an application before the Ontario Municipal Board for the rezoning of 12.5 acres of the 35 acres to be used for commercial purposes. Mr. Josephi in addressing council said the proposai now bas been changed somnewhat tiori date of the project, depending, of course, on the length of the strike. from the original as încluded not only the 12.5 acre plan for commercial and hotel devel- opment but aiso a proposai for municipal offices and prestige industry. He said that his company could provide municipal ac- commodation some twenty to thirty percent lower than anyone else either on a lease basis or purchase due to the fact that the land had been purchased a number of years ago. When questioned about the price he said they had not proceeded to that stage in planning or development to give a price. Joseph said bis firm had been held up on the deveiop- ment of the land for a number of years and asked that they be consulted in the develop- ment of the district plan for Bowmanville. He saîd he feit they could have a lot to add. An associate with Mr. Joseph said he had viewed the existing Town Hall and said it, appeared to him there was no feasible way' to convert this building, a two-storey build- ing wîth upstairs auditorium into municipal offices. He said it would be too costiy a venture. Joseph said he feit that proposai was weil balanced and couid be developed on a Village square idea with refiecting pool and water falis. The proposai is now to go to the planning staff for their comments on the proposai. Mr. Kristof said this report would be prepared within two weeks.
