-- Vol. 122 No. 2 Only 14 shopping days left Tuesday, December 8, 1987 Copy 50¢ 44 Pages Judge to rule soon if law firm must vacate building | 2 A decision is expected this week from Judge P. Lawson on a request from Scugog Township for an in- terim injunction to force the owners to vacate a building being used as a law office on Shanly Street in Port Perry. Last Friday, Judge Lawson heard legal arguments from lawyer David Sims, representing the Township, and Toronto lawyer Spence Stewart, representing the Port Perry law of- fice of Fletcher-Tesluk, owners of the building which has been sitting on Shanly Street near Water St. since it was moved from Queen Pa § * 3 | Fascinating Artist Street last May. Scugog Township initiated the temporary injunction application on the grounds that the building violates local Zoning By-law 75-80. Section 5.7.a. of the by-law states 'no person shall erect any building or structure in any Zone, unless the lot upon which (it) is erected fronts on an improved public street main- tained year round." The Township is claiming that the section of Shanly Street where the lot and building are located is an un- improved road allowance, and municipal water and sewer services World renowned artist Nori Peter was in town on Saturday, December 5 to talk about her varied experiences in life and her- beautiful artwork, which focuses on the life of Eskimo and Inuit people.

In his arguments in front of Judge Lawson in a Whitby courtroom last week, Mr. Sims said that while part of the Shanly St. road allowance near Water St. has been gravelled by the Township for use as a park- ing lot, no public money has been spent on the remainder of the street from Water to Perry, including the stretch which fronts on the lot where the building is located. Mr. Sims said that last June, the Township agreed to grant a building permit to Fletcher-Tesluk on the condition that Shanly Street be up- graded to municipal standards and a letter of credit for $50,000 to cover the costs be filed with the municipality. Mr. Sims told the court there has been no agreement between the Township and the defendents for up- grading the road and no letter of credit filed. He also said in court it is not clear if that portion of Shanly St. from Perry to Water was ever dedicated to the municipality. 'But even if it was, there is no obligation on the part of the Township to allow it to be opened and travelled as a road," he said. - At one point in his arguments, Mr. Sims called the case a 'flagrant (Turn to page 2) Accident hospitalizes young man A Port Perry teenager suffered serious injuries in a single vehicle crash near Columbus Thursday December 3.

A market impact study prepared for the developers of the proposed Conway Place mall on Highway 7A suggests the Port Perry area is strong enough economically to support such a development, and it may also help to keep consumers shopping locally. The study was prepared for the Otter Financial Corporation by the consulting firm Marshall Macklin Monoghan, and it was presented by developer Hans Moehring to Township councillors Monday af- ternoon. Otter [Financial has plans to build a 60,000 square foot indoor shopping centre, 100 seniors apar- tment units and a further 90 con- dominium units on ten acres of land on the north side of Highway 7A in the area where the Conway Restaurant, Bayshore Takeout and Laundremat-Car Wash are now located.
