Price: $115,000 10-- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., December 13, 1978 Scugog Township council has been offered a 2.5 acre parcel of serviced land at the north end of Cochrane Street in Port Perry which could be used for future senior citiz- ens apartment development. The offer came at the regular, meeting of council Monday night during dis- cussions with Robert Long- muir and Ross Murray of Scot-Can Builders, the com- + ----- la She pany which now owns the yt land. in Scot-Can has presented is council with two proposals a for development on the land; hi one a 60-unit apartment Hh building and the other a St) 50-unit rental townhouse de- oi velopment. i The Township has ex- A pressed reservations over od the townhouse proposal, and Ik Scot-Can would prefer the Yi townhouse development over ol the 60-unit apartment build- fod ing. i During the discussions, Mr. Longmuir handed Mayor Jerry Taylor a sealed envelope saying it contained a negotiating price for the sale of the land. This envelope was not opened at the meeting Mon- day night, but council agreed to inspect the parcel and consider the proposed pur- chase at a planning meeting scheduled for January 15. The idea of the Township buying the 2.5 acres for future senior citizens apart- ments was first discussed at a council meeting six weeks ago with both Mr. Longmuir and members of council re- PINAR FEL ao § 4 i acting positively to the idea. nu There is already a 35- a unit rent-geared-to-income Ne: senior citizen apartment 2X building soon to get under Eg construction on 1 acre im- AER ODN mediately to the west of the site under consideration. Ontario Housing Corp. bought the land this year from Scot-Can for about $45,000 and the apartment is being built by the Ontario government. However, because of spending restrictions, the provincial government is apparently not going to be buying land in future for * senior citizens housing, but the government will continue to build the housing on ser- viced land owned by mun- icipalities. When the sale of the 2.5 Scugog offered land sale acres to Scugog was first dis- cussed several weeks ago, councillor Reg Rose said there will be an increased demand for this kind of senior citizens housing in Scugog over the next several years, and the Township could "'bank' the land until that time. Scot-Can is willing to sell the 2.5 acre parcel for a couple of reasons. The first is that any high density private development such 'as an apartment building would require a re-zoning, and a group of individual property owners in the area served - IVS Bale SA NRL DRE ERASE MI LUSGIEE WHA. se Falla SA NL XA Cal POONA BUF YY HY) Aan Ln JS FPL TY 10% notice last spring that they would strongly object to this kind of development in that area. And while the land is now serviced for high den- sity development, the '"'up- front" money on an apart- ment building for local and regional lot levy fees would amount to something like $180,000. Although the sale price of the 2.5 acres was not disclos- ed at the meeting Monday night, Mr. Longmuir in- dicated outside the council chambers that it would be "in the neighbourhood" of $115,000. Township council briefs LIBRARY EXPANSION Council Monday night approved in principle the proposed expansion of the Scugog Public Library on Queen Street, and authorized the municipality to make an immediate application for a Wintario grant on behalf of the Library Board. In taking the action at this time, it was pointed out that the municipality is not com- mitted to anything with re- gards to the project other than making the Wintario application. Wintario funds are getting harder to secure and it was decided that the application by the Township must be made as soon as possible. BY-LAW COSTS The estimated costs of pre- paring a comprehensive zon- ing by-law for all four wards in Scugog Township is $43,900, with about half of this eligible for provincial subsidy. Township planner John McDermott told council Monday night that the prep- aration costs of the new by-law would amount to about $20,000 while the res of the cost would be incurred in printing, circulating the new by-law to the public, and for a series of public meetings. Since both Reach and Port Perry have fairly recent zon- ing by-laws and. official plans, council suggested that the preparatory work by the planners might be reduced. The comprehensive by-law is necessary to bring Town- ship-wide 'uniformity to the different zoning provisions now covering all four wards. TOPLESS The topless waitress issue in Ontario got scant attention from council Monday night as councillors agreed to take no action on a request from the town of Oakville that the province be petitioned to prohibit topless waitresses, EEE To "EX 5S To Te = {ry A i - yh gp WN 4 a Sa ae: SWS el 1 Dod dO WALA vi hi TZ ne). ip rel ql CN The 1979 season isn't far away. 153 J LO NE '" And with the warm winds will come a' EF Core on down and make a deal ~y \ _ 3 that will give you something to = TTA or 1 i (0 smile about come spring. the chill of higher prices.

The request came from the town of Oakville after that municipality had received a 3000 name petition initiated by a Catholic Church in that community. Scugog council received the request for action, but decided simply to- receive and file it. LATE MEETING The first business meeting of the new council got off to a rather tedious start with a heavy agenda that kept councillors in their seats until almost midnight Mon- day evening. The agenda was especially heavy because several items of business had been put over by the out-going council, and there were several deputat- ions. It is only on very rare occassions that council is forced to extend the meeting beyond 11:00 p.m. The after- noon session ran from 1:30 until 5:30.
