"A Family Tradition for 128 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, May 3,1994 - 17 Hopeful Legion issue can be resolved without OMB From page 1 tention of the complex is a sen- ior'sonly building. Mr. Bailey attempted to calm the concerns of the residents by tting a written guarantee rom the legion of this. "Obviously we have a group who wants to cater to the sen- iors and if it is seniors, they are the most unobjectionable of all people," he said. Marva Collins, a representa- tive from the legion, stressed the intention of the group's pro- posal and the need for such a de- velopment in Port Perry. "It's very prevalent that many people want to remain in the area," she said. "We hope that people who are here will re- tire here." Mrs. Collins also noted that as a privately-owned building be SCOTT ANDERSON / PORT PERRY STAR Three Grade 8 students from R.H. Commish Public School competed In a Grade 9 national mathematic contest recently and came away with impressive scores. Allan Baxter (standing) placed sixth in the Pascal Contest with a score of 114, while Chris Lanford placed eight with a score of 112 and Heather Met- calfe placed 29th with a score of 105. they would be able to determine the residents. The two sides seemed to reach an agreement on the issue and were satisfied if the units were quaranteed seniors only. "If it was a senior's building, | would feel more comfortable," Mr. Anker said. "But I still feel itis too big." The residents believe the building, slated for the south- west corner of the lot, is over- whelming for the neighborhood and are seeking to have it scaled down. At the heart of the argument i8 the size of the structure. At three storeys and 40 units, they feel it would ruin the look of the area. "The size overwhelms the neighborhood," said Laurie Bray. "It's very large for the size of the community." But the legion representa- tives maintain the development must be at least 40-units in or- der for it to remain cost- efficient. "It's not financially feasible to go any less than 40 units. That's the magic number," said Mrs. Collins. Despite coming closer togeth- er on a compromise, the media- tor failed to stave off the threat of a formal OMB hearing. There is still potential for such action if the groups do not reach an agreementin the weeks ahead. "We've come part way togeth- er, but we must still come to- gether to avoid the mess (of a hearing),' Mr. Anker said. Although only three formal complaints were submitted and the parties were in attendance, the group will consult with the other neighbors before deciding on the next step. But Mayor Howard Hall was confident the costly hearing can be avoided. "I think it can be resolved with co-operation from both sides."
