The Canadian Champion, Tuesday, Apil 30, 2002 -29 Compromise possible in strip club issue efrom 0MB on page 1 the club from gamneting too much attention based on appearance alone, said Mr. Starc. Thete is pro- posed to he no windows to Uic outside and no neon signa, he said. "It's s very low-key design. If you just look at the building itaelf there'd be no indication what it is." Furthet to thse location, Uic appellant remninded the board that adult industries sucis as this are supervised by numerous agencies, including the hcalth department, police, LCBO and the public at large. "Wc argue that flot only is Uic site a good one but that our operatot is a good one," Mr. Start said of the club owncr who currently operates two stnip bars on the same site in Guelph. 'That club (in Guelph) runs remarkably free of proh- lems that people assume are sssociatcd with thc clubs." The OMB decision may flot be completcly one-sided, pointed out the town director. A com- promise of sorts is possible when the verdict is announced. "It doesn't always go aa pet exactly thse appli- cation. The board might agtee with our pr~ing commenta, but flot with Uic test of it. So they may allow it thete, but thcy'd (ownet) have to find more parking or te-design things," he said. Depending on the wordmng of the verdict hand- ed down, there may also be an impact for anoth- et on-gomng debate with a local business. Exxxotica, an aduit movie rentai business, is currently challenging thc Town's definition of an aduit entettainment parlour, which it considets the store to be. The Bronte Street store is in a commercially zoîsed arca, and an aduit entertain- ment parlour isn't a permitted use. "It could have implications in thc sense that it could be a precedent, but the board is dealing specifically with Uic Rock 'N Bull issue," com- mented Mr. Iovio. "By virtue of approving that, they'rc not approving anything cIsc." NMY 4 KIDS: "MAKE 'N TAIKE" A CRAFT FOR MOM AT LEWISCRAFT 11 a. m. to 1 p.m'.
