| Ken Koury shows off just two of 40 signs that have been placed In the downtown area. The signs were made lo- cally by Provincial Signs Limited, and donated to the munic- ipality by the Business Improvement Area(BIA). The Town- ship installed the signs, and will help people find the streets, and signify the BIA area. According to Mr. Koury these signs will also help with the 911 system that is coming In, and hopes that the signs encourage people to shop in beautiful downtown Port Perry. Rnd 1) NO NEED TO ROAM ... THE BEST SHOPPING'S AT HOME! LR EET SHOP LOCALLY .. PORT PERRY . SHOP A proposal for a plaza on Sim- coe Street, is still under consid- eration by the Scugog Town- ship Council. The presentation was made by lawyer Michael Fowler, on behalf of developer Mike Co- chrane. The site in question is located in part of Lot 18, Concession 7, Ward 1, between the existing industrial plaza and S.A. Caw- ker Public School, on the west side of Simcoe Street, north of Regional Road 8. Mr. Fowler had previously stated that he was in support of deleting certain heavy industri- al uses from the M2 and M1 zonings, and adding certain commercial uses to come up with an exceptional zone. The history of this site is that it was originally designated in- dustrial and included an entire area. Mr. Fowler said with re- cent significant changes, in his opinion, the M2 designation was incompatible with the es- AUDITION NO EY > ¢~ W f= == 4 2 BORELIANS [#2 FET y { ------ oe = - i!

He explained also they would like to make the design of the plaza similar to that of the po- lice station, with a "house" type design to make it compatible with the neighbourhood. The proposed site has creat- ed concern among neighbours, the Durham Board of Educa- tion, and the S.A. Cawker School Advisory Committee. Among the concerns of the Advisory Committee were in- creased traffic, and the possibli- ty of easy access to the school by unauthorized visitors. Oth- er concerns expressed by these parties were those of adult en- tertainment establishments, taverns and videop parlours. Mr. Fowler stated that the variety store that was in origi- nal application will not be in this, and that the place of enter- tainment was withdrawn due to concerns of parents, etc. As for parking facilities the t 4 A - by-law states that an establish- ment of this size requires 87 spaces, the current design al- lows for 27 more than that. Fowler added that this plan would provide more than ade- uate parking, compared to Queen Street. The hours of operation of the restaurant were also set as 7a.m. to 6 p.m., which will elim- inate concerns of a tavern. Fowler went on to say the res- taurant would not be licensed. Some problems with the ear- lier design were addressed such as loading areas, and entranc- es. According to Mr. Fowler , the new design allows for two separate loading areas, and two entrances would be designed, along with the current en- trance for the police sation. Council stated they would consider the information, and asked for Mr. Cochrane to re- turn to council with his revised proposal at a further date.
