Janet Paul, a develop- ment manager with Pioneer, presented the plans to council during a recent meeting. The proposal calls for the shared Pioneer-Tim Horton's kiosk to be expanded an additional 32.5 square metres from its current 74.3 square metre size. , The plan outlined before council also called for the northern portion of the site, located at the northwest corner of Hwy. 7A and Wilbur St., to be developed to' allow bet- ter traffic flow and expanded stacking area for the Tim Horton's drive-through. The area, which bor- ders Shanly St., would be cleared out and paved, allowing for a bigger park- ing area and more space for drive-through cus- tomers. It would- also allow for easier access for tanker-trucks delivering fuel. A l4-metre wide entrance would be creat- ed further north along the west side of Wilbur Curbs, gutters and side- walks will also be installed along that stretch, which will allow for more controlled traffic flow on the site. Trees and other shrub- bery are to be planted alongside Shanly St; space has been set aside for snow removal; and a handicapped parking space will be designated. Pioneer officials have also submitted a minor variance application to obtain relief from the required three-metre buffer strip that's required on the west side of the property. A house sits on the adjacent prop- erty. PROTECT YOUR EYES WITH QUALITY SUNGLASSES degeneration.

He applaud- ed Pioneer's attempt to clear up congestion that occurs on the site, espe- cially when fuel trucks arrive. "There' is mayhem when those trucks come in and almost all activi- ties cease. Nothing can go on when those trucks come in, and there's lots of confusion," he said. Councillor Carruthers suggested that an addi- tional -entrance could be located on Shanly St., but both Councillor Marilyn Pearce (Ward 2) and Councillor Paul Michel (Ward 5) objected to that. Council later approved the changes. Qil tank found under fire hall By Chris Hall Weekend Star Renovations to Port Perry's fire hall were slowed recently, after an old oil tank was found under the build- ing. Yvonne de Wit, Scugog's chief adminis- trative officer, told councillors Monday afternoon that the problem was unearthed while work was being |' done on renovations to the Crandel St. station "It's proceeding, but there's one glitch: During the demolition of the existing (build- ing) they discovered an underground oil tank," she said. The tank was three- quarters full, said Ms de Wit, noting "that's a good sign that it's hold- ing, and not leaking." Work was not stopped, and the tank will be removed, she added. Renovations to the building are expected to be com- pleted in early July, and are proceeding on schedule. It is expected that a grand opening will be held on Aug. 27, when council returns from summer recess and holds it inaugural meet- ing at the new station.
