Council rejected the application for a re-zoning on the grounds that a boarding house might hurt property values of the single family homes in the area, and out of fears that there could be more applications for boarding houses if this one was approved. The house in question is located at 248 Lilla, and owner Richard Young. told council Monday he would like to provide room and board for up to six persons. Mr. Young told council the house now has two full washrooms, and by using two driveways there would be enough parking for his tenants. However, a delegation of about 20 residents of Lilla St. and nearby Howard Hall to seek Ward 2 council seat Port Perry businessman Howard Hall will be seeking election to Scugog council on November 12. Mr. Hall announced last Friday that he will be running for the seat in Ward 2 (Port Perry). As of this date, he is the only HOWARD ~ HALL declared candidate for this ward. The present Ward 2 councillor Jack Cottrell has decided not to seek re- election. Mr. Hall, who operates a furniture business on Queen Street, has been a very act ve member of the com- munity for many years Prior to Regional government, he was a rep on the local school board. served a term in 1971-72 on council for the village of Port Perry, 1s a past presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce, and was a Hospital Board member for a decade, including four years as chairman. In 1978, he was appointed by the Provincial government to the Durham Region District Health council, and served as chairman of this organization for three years. Mr. Hall has been directly involv- ed in two major fund raising drives for community facilities. He was chairman of the committee which built the Scugog Arena in 1976, and in 1983, held a similar position for the construction of the addition to the Port Perry Hospital. His community activities have taken him outside Scugog Township as he is a member of the Durham Save-a-Heart organization and chairman of fund raising for the Durham Lung Association. Mr. Hall, 55, has lived in Port Perry most of his life. He and his wife Zula have three children. In making the announcement last week to seek a seat on council, he told the Star that while there are no "burning issues" facing the elec- torate in 1985, he believes the con- dition of Lake Scugog deserves par- ticular attention. He pledged to try to get some action from both the federal and provincial governments. He also noted that local council in the next couple of years will be fac- ed with a decision on what to do with the old lawn bowling green on Queen Street, and the possibility of moving the Fairgrounds to a new location near the Scugog Arena. "I have always enjoyed being ac- tively involved in the community, and I feel that my experience at the local and regional levels would be an asset to the council," he stated. "BRUTONS 1. o> a DRUGS "200 QUEEN STREET - PORT PERRY 985-2511 streets presented council with a petition out-lining their objections. Delegation spokesman Elgir Knopp said that *'if the door is opened for one (boarding house) there could be applications for several others in the area." Another Lilla Street resident noted that the house in question is on the corner of Paxton Street, which is an ambulance route. A boarding house could add further congestion through cars parked on the street. Township by-laws allow any property owner to take in two boarders. However, single family zoning restricts the number to two. Police charge youth A 17 year old Scugog Township youth has been charged with break, enter and intent following an inci- dent at Port Perry High School ear- ly Sunday evening. A Durham Police spokesman said officers received a call just after 6:00 P.M., and when they arrived on the scene, a person was spotted on the roof. That person apparently entered the school through an upper level window. Police conducted a thorough search of the building and about an hour later a suspect was apprehended inside the school. Police say there was no damage and nothing stolen in the incident. The suspect has been charged under the Young Offenders Act which prohibits publication of name and address. NEED PHOTOCOPIES?
