WIBY FRE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMRBER 5, 1990, PAGE 13 Addition planned to lVood Farni Mmanor it By MikeKowaloki A proposed addition to, the Wood Farin Manor non-profit aopartinent building will serve a dual purpose. Not only will it increase the supply of rentai units ini Whitby, but improve a long-tandingcn cern about the esthetic quaities of the eisting structure. The Durham' Region Non-Pr- fit Housing Corp. plans te, add nine units to the -eighth floor of the three-year-old bluilding loca- ted at 1525 Nichol Ave. The additional units will "f111 in the gap" by completing the partial upper floor. Accoricngte assistant general manager Valerie Cranmer, it was always the intent of the corporation te have a full eighth floor of apartment units. But financial probleme during construction meant the floor could not be completed as oni- ginally planned. As a resuit, a maintenance facility on the tep floor ",over- whelms" the rest of the building, said Cranmer. Neither the Town of Whitby nor the corporation were ever pleased with the building's appearance, she said. An additional floor surround- ing the facility will make it more pleasing te the eye, Cranmier To the editor Soe time ago, the loc%1lpapers published a letter signei by a Miss Smith complaùning that Town council had not carnied out its promise te, naine streets alter J Peter Perry award winners. At the council meeting on' Monday, No.26e I noted that ail Peter Perry award winners, except those. who wished flot to have streets namned after them, had streets so, narned, except for four. The four naines not yet utilized mncluded the most recent Peter Perry award wmnner, Dr. K. Hobbs. It is anticipated that the remaining four naines will -ho utilized i naniing streets i the very near future. This means that the criticism contained in the above-mentioned letter is inadequate. I arn very proud of the fact that the council of the Town of Whitby bas recognized the efforts of aIl the Peter Periy award winners in this fashion. I addition, at long last, we will commence naming Whitby streets alter the naines inscribed on the war inemonial at the cenotaphs, in the town, te honor those who paid the supreme sacrifice te secure our safety and well being. The first two naines chosen are those of Fred Eldidge who was a added. The corporation is hoping to begin construction of the $1 mil- lion addition next spi. Cran mer estimates* it will take about six montha to do the work. However, a series of steps muet fnrstbe taken. Whitby's committee of adjust- ment was scheduled to deal with the matter last week and a site plan application has been sub- mitted to the Town. Cranmer does not forsee pro- bleins with the application.' She said the property's zoning will not have to be changedand there is sulficient parking to meet the needs of- additional tenante. "We don't want te add parking, the present parking is under utilized,» said Cranmner.1 Following approval fromi the mncplity, the, corporation must aiso get approval from the Ontario Ministry of Housing. The corporation held two meet- ings recently te explain details of the project te bth tenants and nearby residents. Most of the concerne expressed te, corporation officiaIs involved «noise and inconvenience," said Cranmner. "The adjacent residents had no majo concerne, the construction won't affect them,» said Cran- boy soldier* in World War I and died at sma. The other naine te be utilized will be that of Private Michael Failon who was killed in action in World War I while serving his, country, along with two of bis brothers. I trust this, information will be of mnterest te the residents of the Town of Whitby. Tom Edwards :Rogiond lCounciioe Ta ne iWhfitIw mer. As for tenants' worries, Cran- mer said Most of the necessary building materials will be brouht up to the roof from the outaide in order te avoid as much disruption as possible within the building. In fact, some tenants. were «very positive» about more units being dded, said Cranmner. «e reznembered that they were on the waiting list' for five years before they could get accoMmodation." The corporation was estabi- ished in 1985 to provide more affordable rentai, housing in Dur- hamn Region. It currently operates elîht buildings consisting of Us units, in J5urham. Another three buildings com- prising 200 units are under con- struction, while five more pro- jects invlvig 27 units have received approval. Construction of these buildings will commence -in the, coming months. The corporation provides ren- taI housing for families, seniors, individuals and the physically handicapped.
