PORT PERRY STAR After discussing the concept of the new school site and development of the remaining sixteen acres of land at the Fairgrounds, Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor tried without success on Monday to invite Board officials to a meeting in Port Perry that same day. He was able to tell council that Board officials remain adamant that the school site be in the southwest corner. The reason council wants the school site moved further to the north is a preliminary development proposal for the remainder of the Fairgrounds unveiled Monday mor- ning by Township planning consul- tant John McDermott. Mr. McDermott actually presented council with three pro- third car slammed into them. The driver of the third car, a 1982 Camaro, was taken to hospital via ambulance. Glen Timmins, 29, of Ajax, was treated for serious injuries. A passenger in the Camaro, 30 year old Gary Timmins, was treated for minor injuries. Total damage to all three vehicles, including a 1964 Chrysler and a 1978 Mazda, is estimated at $10,500. The drivers of the other two cars, . Paul Drake, 34, of Toronto and Dan- ny Henry, 19, of Oshawa, were charged with parking on a roadway without a clear view. for information on a very special | 235 Queen Street - Port Perry 'LOST Brown Labrador Retriever on Scugog Island.

Council preferred this proposal because it would ullow for a residen- tial buffer between the school and existing homes on Kenny Court. Whether the meeting, probably this week, or early next week at the latest, will result in a change of the School Board's plans remains to be seen. The council wants the School Condos set to go It appears as if an 18-unit con- - dominium project for Port Perry has cleared the final hurdles and construction could get underway in about two months. Developer Alex Shepherd of Port Perry ironed out the last remaining details with Township council Mon- _ day afternoon, and he said later he hopes the $1.5 million project will be finished by the end of this year. The project, located on a triangular piece of land just to the west of Birdseye Park, calls for the "units to be built in a single storey L- shaped structure. Mr. Shepherd said he hopes to "pre-sell"' about 14 of the units and the price will be in the $110,000 range. The project has been before coun- cil for the past 18 months or so and there have been several contentious issues between the developer and members of council. Mr. Shepherd has objected strong- ly to the grant in lieu of parkland provision set down by the council which will cost him about $13,000. He feels the formula used to calculate this amount, based on the value of the land, was too high. However, the council stuck by the formula, despite the objections. But on Monday, council voted not to ask for a strip of shoreline on the northeast tip of the property. Coun- cillors Yvonne Christie and Lawrence Malcolm wanted this strip of land turned over to the Township. outfit. Pick out an Easter bonnet to match a new dress or co-ordinate.

Board trustees from Scugog at this meeting, along with Board staff, to impress upon them the desire to locate the school further north. The Township council has ac- cepted in principle an offer of $115,000 for seven acres of land for the new Kindergarten-to-grade six school. While the council spent several hours Monday discussing the new site and the proposed development of the rest of the Fairgrounds, a peti- tion with nearly 400 names was tabl- ed. The petition objects to moving the Fairgrounds at this time. There has been strong opposition to the planned move of Port Perry Fair from the present site to a new loca- tion north of the Scugog Arena. However, council's action Mon- day would appear to indicate that the a move will take place before Labour Day, 1987. During discussions Monday mor- ning, council was told that 45 fully serviced residential lots on the Fairgrounds land would yield about $30,000 per lot. Development and . servicing charges would take part of that cost, but the net to the Township could be in the $750-$800,000 range. Also, there would be further money if a piece of the land in the northeast corner was eventually developed for an apart- ment building. DEPARTMENT STORE Queen Street - Port Perry BOOTS ...
