"wv 2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, July 17, 1984 * A proposal for a 70-unit go-op housing project in Port Perry was greeted warmly by members of Scugog Township council at a public meeting July 9. The project would be developed on land on the south side of Highway 7A, immediately to the west of the Canadian Tire Plaza. It would include a three-storey apartment building with 24 one and two bedroom units, and 46 town house units of three and four bed- rooms. The apartment would be built at the north end of the property with the townhouses built in a rectangle around the perimeter of the south end of the property. Chris Smith, a consul- tant from Toronto who has been working to help get this project off the ground, told council that all units would be 19) QUEEN ST PORT PERRY 416) 985 7306 ALL LINES OF GENERAL INSURANCE Es since 4 131 5 Yr.

"It helps bring about community spirit. The tenants are interested in a safe, clean neighbour- hood to live and raise their children,' he said. He went on to say the tenants are carefully screened before they Award winners are accepted and there is a process whereby unacceptable tenants 'can be told to leave. While members of council were enthusias- tic over the plans for the project, several resi- dents of nearby Car- negie Street who attend- ed the meeting said they would have no objection to this kind of develop- ment. Access to the project ~ will be via Carnegie Street, and residents of the street had expressed serious objections to an earlier proposal for the property which called for construction of a seven storey apartment building with more than 100 units. At the meeting last week, one Carnegie St. resident said the co-op proposal 'looks like the kind of thing we have been looking for." He did suggest how- ever, that steps may have to be taken to alleviate the traffic pro- blems at the inter- Winners of the Chamber of Commerce Western Days Awards.

Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor told the meeting this co-op development is welcome as it will help alleviate the rental housing shortage in Port Perry. Councillor Lawrence Malcolm, who has visit- ed co-op projects in Oshawa and Ajax said they seem to work very well with the tenants Scugog council likes co-op housing plans making very sure there are no problems. Following the meet- ing, Mr. Smith told the Star that if there are no snags in the plans, the entire project could completed by the Fall of 1985. He said the rent for a three bedroom town- house would likely start at about $500 per month. Mr. Smith said that already about 40 per- spective tenants have expressed an interest in renting, and anyone I ,_--_--,--,,S--,--,S--S--S--_--S--S--S--S,SSSS>>-->----r--rTfT"TU--ThT,STTTsTUTEmsmz °z TES En énDéEémpRRY 7 / / seeking more information can call his office in Ajax at 686-4787. Over the past few years, there have been numerous housing pro- posals for that parti- cular piece of property-- everything . from single homes to large apart- ment buildings. How- ever, members of council seemed to indi- cate clearly that the latest proposal was the most suitable. Liberal meeting is set for this Wednesday Liberals in the riding of Durham-Northum- berland will meet this week to select a cand- idate to carry the party banner in the federal election on September 4. The nomination meet- ing will get underway at 7:00 P.M. this Wed- nesday evening (July 18) at Port Hope High School. So far, the only declared candidate for the position is Darce Campbell, a realtor from the Port Hope area. - There had been specu- lation that Rev. Ed Schamerhorn, a United Church minister from Bowmanville, would also seek the nomina- tion, but he bowed out last week, citing person- al commitments. Rev. Schamerhorn carried the banner for the Liberals in the 1980 election and finished second behind Conser- vative Allan Lawrence who has had a strangle hold on the riding for more than a decade. The Conservative nomination meeting will be held on July 25 at Clarke High School in Orono and it is expected that Mr. Lawrence will get the nod by acclam- ation. The New Democrats meanwhile, held their nomination meeting two months ago and Roy Grierson of Port Perry has been working hard on his campaign ever since. Both the Liberal and New Democrat candid- ates will have an up-hill battle if they hope to un-seat Mr. Lawrence on September 4. In the 1980 election, he finished with 17,126 votes, follow- ed by Rev. Schamer- horn with 11,326 and the NDP's Fred McLaugh- lin with 9300. There are about 50,000 persons in the Durham- Northumberland riding eligible to cast ballots. The riding takes in all of Scugog Township and includes Bowmanville, Port Hope and Cobourg. Herrema will run after all Durham Region chairman, Gary Herrema has announc- ed that he will seek the Liberal nomination in Ontario for the federal election to be held September 4. Mr. Herrema will face a challenge from Gwen Mowbray, a veteran Liberal party worker, when the nomination meeting is held July 25 at Pickering High School. She is the wife of riding association pres- ident Milton Mowbray. The Ontario riding is currently held by Scott Fennell of the Conser- vatives. In announcing his . intentions to seek the nomination last week, Mr. Herrema said it has always been his goal to enter federal politics. He has been a high profile chairman of the Region since 1981 and before that was a coun- cillor and mayor of Uxbridge Township. If he is successful in winning the nomination and the election, he will give up his position as Regional chairman which means the Dur- ham council will have to select a replacement. This likely would be done early in Sept- ember. Mr. Herrema said the riding of Ontario has not been getting co-oper- ation from the federal government. He is on record as supporting the construction of an air- port at Pickering. The NDP candidate in Ontario riding, which includes Uxbridge, Ajax and Pickering is Geof Risen.
