The, Town's planning depart- ment began studying, the north- south entrance into townb last July and council gave its approval last Monday night. The study considers *uses of the properties along Brock St. S. from Ontario St. te Higbway 401.

The planning department will require adequate parking in the interior or rear side yards only; screening of the paring and adequate landscaping. Any new construction is to be similar in appearance te a single or semi- detached dwelling and is te be one-and-a-half or two stories in height. The medium density guidelines are for property on the west side of Brock at Hwy. 401. Buildings are not to be, more than four stories in heigbt and will bave a maximum of 50 persons per acre. The commercial conversion guidelines will require commer- cial use, wbetber it is new or an addition, not to exceed 3,750 sq.
