an ARR nadiiditan LN et ae Rett apatite dd fans Ade 2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, July 7, 1987 | Council cool to proposed Senior's community idea Scugog could have a Senior's Community which would house about 350 people over the age of 60 years if Mr. Herb Abrams can con- vince council that the idea is sound. Mr. Abrams led a delegation to council Monday to outline the pro- ject again for council, and try to alleviate any of their concerns about the projects viability. The proposed senior citizen com- munity is designed to provide affor- dable housing for residents over the age of 60 years, who are still in good health and can take care of themselves with limited care. The plan combines a large com: plex to the north of the property (the old Love Farm at the corner of the Prince Albert and Oshawa Roads) which would house apartments, a large dining area and other rooms for multiple use. Attached to this building by a cor- ridor is a large community centre which would be used for any of the functions the seniors might want to do, and it would be supported by all those living in the complex. In addition to these two buildings, the overall plan calls for 144 homes ranging in the 1000 to 1200 square foot range. These would be built four-plex style and would be sur- rounded by open space, tennis courts, bowling green and trails. Mr. Abrams told council that this type of development creates very few burdens on the communities ex- isting services, and at the same time has some obvious benefits. "Council will enjoy added tax revenue; the project will create about 25 new on-site jobs and it will bring about 350 new consumers in- to the area," Mr. Abrams said. '"This is a quiet, clean use of the land for people with predictable needs,' he said. - Council listened patiently throug the delegations, but it was obvious they had some concerns. : Councillor Harvey Graham said he had reservations about this pro- ject the first time it was presented and that Mr. Abrams had still not convinced him that the project is viable. "People continue to age, and with 350 elderly people coming into the area it can only throw an extra burden on our services," he said. Councillor Yvonne Christie echoed some of Councillor Graha remarks and said that she doesn't object to the plan in concept, but she was concerned about the large numbers. (referring to 350 people) "I'm not convinced that we can handle over 300 new people in this type of environment," she said.

Abrams told council that they would be having a mini-bus service for the residents, which would take them to town daily to do their shop- ping, banking and -get to appointments. We are planning for an aging society, Mr. Abrams said, and there is government financing available for this type of project. These peo- ple will not be the drain on services which is evident with younger families.

OMB rules in favour of hoy | repair shop in business core The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) has upheld a Scugog Township bylaw which permits an auto body repair shop at 193 North Street in Port Perry. In a three-page judgement hand- ed down June 16, OMB commis- sioner H.L. Lancaster wrote that the repair shop is a permitted use under ~ the terms of the Durham Region Of- ficial Plan. At the hearing in April, - a senior planner with the Region of Durham give the opinion that a repair shop does conform with the Official Plan of the Region as two other municipalities, Ajax & Oshawa, allow mixed in- dustrial/commercial uses within their Main Central areas. Opposition to this particular re- zoning was launched by several in- -- CLIP THIS COUPON -- dividuals who own commercial pro- perty in the immediate area on North Street on the grounds that an auto body repair shop use should be in an industrial zone.
