Vol. 7, No. 34, Folio 68 1tize Friday, August 26, 1983 Penetanguishene, Ontario Motel part of project A market in the works; subsidized apartments Secave Investments, the new owner of the old shoe factory on Penetanguishen's Main Street, wants to build an apartment building, and a 60 unit motel, nearby on the waterfront. Seave Investments is also the owner of, or in the process of buying, Beausoleil Motors. Ownership of both properties would give Secave Investments contro] of all of the private property bet- ween Memories Roadhouse Restaurant and the waterfront, on the west side of Main Street. Scave Investments is dealing with the town's housing and_ develop- ment committee. Scave wants the town to apply for available provincial funding to finance a study -of the need for apartments in the town, to satisfy the govern- ment that a need exists, a need which is obvious, says Bob Klug, chair- man of the committee. Seave proposes to develop the old shoe factory first, by renovating it and transforming it into a market, The second step would be the _ con- struction of an apart- ment building, rents in which would be sub- sidized by the province. The third step would be the building of a 60 unit motel, with tennis courts and a swimming Highway business opposed Huronia TV should not be allowed to operate in its present location, Penetanguishene is telling the ministry of municipal affairs and housing. Huronia TV is located on the east side of High- way 93, between Huronia District Hospital and Vinden Street, in-Tiny Township... The business, owned by Gordon Beausoleil, has applied to have the township's official plan amended so that he can operate his business. Tiny Township refused the application because the township's Official plan for that area does not allow commercial development. Beausoleil is now seeking permission from the Ontario Municipal Board. In March of 1981 Penetanguishene asked for, and obtained, a ministerial order freezing development along Highway 93. The town's concern was for the protection of its downtown and the preservation of Highway 93 as an open traffic corridor leading to the town. Penetanguishene has been offered the program 400 Years of Georgian Bay Poetry and Song, "an amusing and anecdotal evening of poetry and song inspired by the Georgian Bay and Simcoe County area or written by its residents." Paul Rollinson, one of the program's Could be ideal _ bicentennial project organizers, said in a letter to the council that the program lasts from 45 minutes to 90 minutes. The show is offered in conjunction with any celebration the town may make in recognition of the province's bicentennial, next year. open house Gary Posey, left, one of the three Perkinsfield area property owners whose well has been poisoned, with Ross Hastings of Wyevale, one of the township residents who thinks that the area dump should remain where it has been since 1971, Outside Perkinsfield.

The town places a value of $200,000 on the land, says Klug, but it is willing to sell the land for $50,000 to a developer, under the right circumstances. The town dealt two years ago with a developer with a plan for a hotel on the same land. Nothing sub- stantial developed. Mayor Ron Bellisle says that the Scave proposal '"'looks real good on paper.' He thinks Scave's approach is "quite feasible" and he is 'quite en- thusiastic." Scave appears to have more money than the first group, he says. The housing and development committee has asked for comments from the arena, parks and recreation com- mittee, and from the town's planning ad- visor, Another matter to be settled is the provision of parking spaces behind the old shoe factory. The third stage, the building of the motel, would be two and one half to three years in the future, Scave has _ in- dicated, Klug says.
