ERE a RE ee ae ---- i ii EE " certain as Concerns still exist over retirement proposal Some members of Scugog council are still concemed over ts of a proposed re- tirement home for seniors near downtown Port Perry. "I have concerns for the kind of lifestyle for the people who will live there," stated Ward 2 councillor Marilyn Pearce. "I don't see this proposal as any different than just bricks and mortar with a rec room." Other councillors, including Yvonne Christie said they are con- cerned about the fact there are just . 86 parking spaces designated for the large development. "They were referring to a pro- posal from Selwin Developments for a 110 unit retirement home for seniors on land at the comer of Water and Casimir Streets in Port Pony. ncluded in the development proposal is 6,000 square feet of commercial space for shops and a Remember Feb. 141h <4 ... and send a greeting to Valentine in Special the Classified Section of the Port Perry Star ... -- Just call -- 985-7383 further 6,000 square feet of space for such things as a cafeteria, recr- reation room, laundry facilities for the people who will live there. The proposal has been in front of council on several occasions + over the past few months. It is to go on land where the old creamery building now is located as well as land to the north and west. Councillor Pearce said she is concerned about the difficulty the residents may have in getting to Palmer Park across Water Street, and the fact there are no sidewalks leading to such amenities as the public library. She spoke at length about these concerns and suggested that the Township should be making the entire downtown area easier for seniors to get around on foot. Lawyer Michael Fowler, act- ing for Selwin, said he agreed bet- ter access to Palmer Park may be needed, and he noted that sidewalk construction is part of the Water Street re-construction which may start this winter. Mr. Fowler said the kind of seniors who would live in the de- Ashburn velopment are independent, capa- ble of getting around, and mos are already living in the communi- ty. He 'described the proposed re- tirement home as "part way be- tween a nursing home and apart- ments." The land is already zoned for commercial uses, and Selwin is seeing a specific re-zoning for the retirment home use. In response to council's con- cerns about the number of parking spaces, Don Forder, (one of the Selwin partners) said it is possible to add more spaces, if that is want the council wishes. "I think the concept is a good one, but I think you understand council's feelings about the lack of parking in downtown Port Per- ry," said Ward 4 rep Glenn Mal- colm to Mr. Forder. : Mayor Howard Hall said h thinks the proposal is a good one for the community, if the details like parking can be worked out. The developers would like to start construction of the project this spring, if possible. and area report (From page 32) Morrison, replied by Margaret David.
