Port Perry Council fed up with C. of C. Reeve Robert Kenny has referred to the Port Perry Chamber of Commerce as, "a pressure group," and advised the new council which will be elected in October and take office January 1 to refuse any more chamber gifts with strings attached. The Chamber of Com- merce gave the village about $15,000 last year and stipulated the things it was to be used for. The first Gord Goode will seek re-election Le GORD GOODE School Trustee -Gordon Goode will seek re-election October 1.- Under regional govern- ment plans school areas have been changed, and each area will elect two trustees. Mr. Goode will seek election in. the Scugog area, which includes Port Perry, Cartwright, Reach and Scugog Island. . comments on three of four stipulated pro- jects went way over budget, so the last project did not get approved. Now some chamber members are say- ing that the village owes about $3,400 for tennis court work which was not done.' Council points out that it spent $54,000 on the three projects and suggests the chamber has already got more than its money's worth. At the August 7 meeting of Council Reeve Kenny said, "If I was still on council (next year) I would be very reluctant to accept any more - money with strings attanched. You've got sort of a pressure group here. What they should do is get off their respective ends and run for council and do the job themselves." Mr. Kenny is not expected to run for re-election him- self. He has served council for 16 years. The chamber attitude dis- turbed other members of council also. Grant McDermott said, "If they think we owe them $3,400 and if we had the money I'd say take it and shove it and don't ever come back." "Ah the h. . . with them," said Deputy Reeve Phil Orde. "They are not going to pressure me. I am get- ting a little sick of this." Council made : it quite clear that before it accepts any more gifts it will insist _ that the giver must have confidence in the council the voters have elected and give the donation outright, with no strings. Officials of the Chamber of Commerce declined to council's remarks. However, repre- sentatives of the C of C executive were scheduled to attend last night's council meeting to discuss the sub- ject. The STAR had already gone to press before the meeting started. a EE A a i Xap SE P2RT PERRY 15¢ per copy 28 Pages Volume 107 -- PORT PERRY. ONTARIO. Wednesday, August 22, 1973 No. 43 O.M.B. ruling in developers favour The Ontario Municipal Board has given Tony Ceasaroni and Port Perry Developments Ltd. the okay to go ahead and apply for the necessary zoning changes in order to build a waterfront marina and apartment complex and on a triangle of land near Birds Eye Centre Park. At an O.M.B. hearing in Port Perry 2 weeks ago Historical Society President William Brock was the only person to object to the deve- lopers application. Mr. Brock objected to using the waterfront "recreation area' for apartments, but he had no objection to the marina. Under existing zoning the developer now must apply to council to have the 120 feet closest to the water rezoned from "Development -- D" to "Lakefront -- LF", before - he can build a marina. If such an applicat- ion is made, and if council approves it, full details of the proposal will be circu- lated to all property owners adjoining the developers land. If there are no object- ions the marina may be built. If a neighbour objects anouther O.M.B. hearing will be held. The same is true of the rest of the land if the developer wants to build an apartment building of 12 or more units or more than three storeys. However, if a plan for an apartment building con- taining less than 12 living units per acre and not more than 2 storeys high is sub- mitted no zoning change is required and no further public hearings will be nec- essary. The possible marina- apartment site is on the same property where an application to erect a shop- ping cente was earlier re- jected. : The next move is now up to the developer. Mr. Ceasaroni's office told the STAR that he is out of town this week and can not be reached for comment. A second parcel of land was considred at the O.M.B. hearing. This application, for the McMaster property at Casimir and Perry Streets, was withdrawn so no change will take place. Approves subdivision Cartwright Township Council has given approval in principle to a 52 lot subdivision in the village of Nestleton. Larry Doble and Morlay Bruce from Port Perry are developing the subdivision and Doble indicated the homes will be situated on 20,000 square feets lots -- about 4 acre. The houses will be located north on Highway 7A and east of the Nestleton Road, on a 30-acre lot behind the existing homes. Two entrances have been planned into the subdivision from the Nestleton Road. The only change sugges- ted by council at their July 26th meeting was that the 1.5 acre park that will be included in the development should be located in an area with trees. The proposal has been inspected by the township's engineer and sent to the planning branch of the Department of Treasury. Economics and Intergov- nmental Affairs in Toronto. Cartwright Clerk-Treasurer Miss Doreen Van Camp indicated that final approval could take any- where from - one to five years. JUST PRACTICING.
