Mrs. Prentice and Roy Grierson of Caesarea regis- tered formal opbjections to the Ontario Municipal Board against the re-zoning by-law passed by the Township last fall. The OMB hearing was held in Port Perry on April 24, and the Board handed down its decision last week, saying that while the by-law has not been approved "the matter should be sent back to the municipality for further consideration." Although she is claiming the decision of the Board as a Supreme Court rej victory for the objectors, Mrs. Prentice did say that the wording was not entirely clear. "I'm glad that we won," she said. "But at the same time, I ask myself, have we really won?" Mrs. Prentice said that despite her strong objections to the library on the pro- posed Water Street location, *"The public doesn't want a library on the lake front, but I'm sure they would get behind a plan to expand the present building," she said. Commenting on the OMB decision itself, Mrs. Prentice said she was not surprised by it. "We have 3000\games or/ a petition stating we--don't want a library in that loca- she is not opposed to an tion. expansion of library services '"The public doesn't want it in the community. there and I think the petition In fact, she said she to put an addition t of the present } Queen Street. --- Group Home injunction (From page 1) Last month, three. resi- dents were moved into the home by the-Central Seven Association and there are plans to move in five more. A writ filed with the Supreme Court on May 6 by the property owners asks for an interim and permanent injunction as well as a declaration that the use of the property contravenes Township zoning by-laws. Gary Fitchett, a resident of Gerrows Beach and a spokesman for the property owners, said after the hearing last week that he was naturally disappointed with the outcome. He said the property owners had not yet decided whether to pursue the issue further in full court and seek the permanent - declaration and injunction, or let the matter drop. If the property owners do decide to carry on with further legal action, it will likely be September or Octo- ber before the issue could come before the Supreme Court for trial. was the telling factor in the OMB decision,' she said. Although it is unclear at this time what steps Scugog council and the Library Board will take in light of the OMB decision, Mrs. Prentice said she is prepared to conti- nue her objections to any move to have the lakefront site re-considered. "I just hope that the coun- cil will listen to the people," she continued. "It's getting close to elec- tion time, and if they (coun- cil) tried to push it through somehow, none of them would get re-elected. "It would become the issue in the next election, and council would be over a barrel," she said. Mrs. Prentice says she is a regular user of the present library, and has been a card- holder for many years. "I'm not against impro- ving the library or a new library but it should never go on the waterfront property," she repeated.
