PETER HVIDSTEN / PORT PERRY STAR The Port Perry Downtown BIA elected a new executive to serve for the next three year term last Tuesday night at the association's annual meeting. Above are directors, Pam Henshall, Rhonda Mulcahy, president Sharon MacKinnon and Secretary Treasurer Duncan Campbell. Small turnout for BIA's annual general meeting Only 17 people, representing 14 businesses turned out for the annual general meeting of the Port Perry Downtown Business Improvement Area last Tuesday evening. The organization represents almost 120 businesses in the downtown area of Port Perry. President Sharon MacKinnon introduced guest speaker Durham MP Alex Shepherd, who spoke about how last week's budget will effect small business people and the Taxpayers Bill of Rights he proposes to introduce as a private members bill. Ms MacKinnon presented the financial statements for 1994 and said she anticipated no spending increase for the coming year. A surplus of close to $5,000 left over from the 1994 budget will be held and used for a larg- er capital improvement project for the downtown in the future. Last year $42,193 was spent on advertising, promotions and development of the downtown. Of this, more than $16,000 was used in promoting Port Perry through advertisements on CHEX TV, Century Home Magazine, CFMX Radio, and a variety of tourist guides, book- lets and maps. Sharon MacKinnon was returned as president for the next term and two new direc- tors, Rhonda Mulcahy and Peter Utnans were elected to the board. Other directors returning for a second term are Nick Palladino, Daphne Mitchell and Laurie Mumby.

West Shore Developments presented its proposal to a plan- ning committee meeting last Wednesday night for the devel- opment targetted to the mature adult and senior. This is the second time the de- velopers have tried to locate the facility in Port Perry. A develop- ment on Casimir Street fell through last year. The West Shore retirement centre will provide seniors with accomodation and care in a set- ting that overlooks Lake Scu- gog. The facility is slated to pro- - vide a full array of services including daily meals, full housekeeping and laundry ser- vices, a variety of activity pro- grams as well as personal care when required, Mr. Moore said. The three-storey building would feature a two-storey din- ing room, fireplaces, library, lounge, hair salon and full activ- ity rooms. In addition to the retirement centre, 35 cluster homes (West Shore Village), also targetted at Do oo ssion for youl | Vand each friend with you to COUNTRY } | DECORATING | COLLECTIBLES § SHOW & SALE \ HEIRLOOMS A __ ARTS & CRAFTS Free Parking : Door Prizes McCowan Road, 7 Km.

About 30 neighbors and con- cerned citizens were on hand at the public meeting expressing their concerns over traflic, ac- cess to the lakefront and loca- tion of the building on the prop- erty. Mr. Moore told council one of the main objectives of the pro- Ject is that seniors like to be in- tegrated into the community. Developers told the citizens they want to preserve much of what is there now and look at other ways to help integrate the seniors into the community. One way of doing this willbe a proposed walkway from Simcoe Street to the lake which would allow the public access to Lake Scugog through their develop- ment. Several councillors also brought up concerns over park- ing and fire department access to the residences. Developers say the roads, which will be 30-feet wide inside the development, will provide adequate room for fire trucks. The development will house .up to 135 people at any one time with approximately 10 staff on the premises per shift. Councillors are concerned about the traffic on Simcoe Street which can already be a busy street, especially in the summer months. Councillor Pearce said coun- . cil does not want to see the kind of traffic problems develop that occur at the Community Nurs- ing Home when community events are put on and vehicles are parked on the sides of abusy street. ) Mr. Moore said each home will have a garage and a drive- way for an additional vehicle, Act now or lose up to $100,000 in exemptions!
