Goahead is given to convert duplex Developer Ed Jennings has won approval from the citys committee of adjustment on plans to convert Ross Street duplex into an titunit rooming house Committee members made the ruling after hearing Aug despite anonymous opposi tion from neighbours and con flicts between bylaw re quirements and existing condi tions The building will be con verted without the required rear yard with less than the re quired buffer and with one unit having less than the required floor area The rear yard is now only 16 feet instead of the required 25 feet while one of the imits would have only 1130 square feet in floor area instead of the required 1200 square feet Jennings wants to reduce the required eightfoot buffer area next to adjoining properties to four feet with sixfoot fence Committee members ruled sixfoot high tight board fence would be the most substantial buffer The committee decision terms the required variances as minor in importance saying they are desirable for the development which it says is an improvement to the building Committee members are of the opinion the proposed luxury lodging house use which is per mitted iii the residential RM zone will not adversely affect the siirroimding neighbourhood due to its rather isolated and street enclosed location the decision reads The committee says it is satisfied adequate parking in compliance with the zoning bylaw can be provided and that the rooming house would not generate heavy traffic or parking It also said provision of ad ditioal accommodations close to the central business district will be an asset The threeman committee made only two conditions to their approval that two ex isting garages be torn down and that the third floor one bedroom unit be used as com mon gathering area Plans to convert the building which is on 10000 squarofoot lot fronting on Sophia as well as Ross and Mary Streets has met opposition through anonymous calls to city hall officials Before the hearing officials said callers promised to pre sent petition opposing the rooming house although neighbours questioned by The Examiner said they knew nothing of petition and ex pressed tio opposition to the proposal Notices outlining the process of appealing the committee of adjustment decision were mailr ed to nine homes on Mary Sophia and Centre Streets Neighbors opposing Jenn ings plans have 21 days to file notice of appeal and will face the payment of costs of an tario Municipal Board hearing The usual tariff fee is $15 Simcoe Rescue Squad on the road and working The Simcoe Rescue Squad got underway

FINALLY CALLED Mrs Ball said her small son finally called her at pm say ing he wasnt sure where he was the first of series of telephone calls between Mrs Ball and Pollard or her son At one point she testified Pollard said David doesnt want to go home and youre not getting him back friend Carol Gilbert testified she also talked with Pollard during the day and described him as being im paired by the time he called at pm Learning that the police were involved in searching for the boy she said Pollard told her he would put the boy where he would never be found again Constable Nishman testified he obtained search warrant before driving to Painswick and found Pollard with David Ball in his home He said Pollard was in the state of borderline drunk and was drinking beer at the time He arrested Pollard although David Hall told him he didnt want to go home saying Hall was too young to make that kind of decision Defense counsel John Liv ngston offered no evidence on the part of Pollard and told Judge Nadeau Pollard could not be convicted because no evidence was shown that David Ball was taken by force HAYS TRAVEL 7284700 45 Dunlop St Next to the Theatre Livingston said Mrs Ball hadnt shown much concern despite crown testimony to the contrary and said the boy repeatedly said he wanted to stay with Pollard father figure ADULT PROBLEM We have an adult problem here being worked out over boy he said At this time think both might wonder why the charge was even laid Acting crown attorne Fred Horton said Pollar pre meditated the abduction as means of hurting Mrs Ball and said Pollard knew what he was doing despite his alcohol in take Judge Nadeau ruled the case was serious one of abduction He said evidence showed Pollard wanted to get back at Mrs Ball and said criminal law rules abduction occurs when child under 14 is taken against his or her guardians wish Im satisfied Pollards in tent was to deprive Mrs Ball of possession of her son he said In sentencing Judge Nadeau said his initial instinct was to treat the case as serious crime Maximum penalty for abduction in Canada is 10 years If you want bargain rent one of our smaller size cars Theyre real deal Tilden also
