2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, June 10, 1986 Council willing to earmark 0 funds for Kinsmen hall Township council is willing to ear- mark funds to improve the kitchen facilities at the Kinsmen Hal! on Lilla Street, but councillors will not support any move to re-zone the hall commercial to allow a catering business to operate there. Rick Bouillon, who manages the hall for the Kinsmen Club, told coun- cil Monday afternoon that a " minimum of $15,000 is needed to upgrade the kitchen to meet Health Department standards. He told council that last week, the Health Department ordered the kit- Builder seeks approval for 55 residential lots A proposal for 55 estate residen- tial lots on the Oshawa Road south of Port Perry, was presented to Township council Monday afternoon Building soars Building permits issued by Scugog Township in the month of May soared to a record $1.97 million, the highest total for a single month in several years. Included in the total were permits for 19 new single family homes at an average cost of $70,000. The Durham Board of Education took out permits for a portable' classroom at Epsom School and one at Cartwright High School, and four portables at R.H. Cornish School in Port Perry. ] Also included in the construction activity for the month of May is a permit for a new funeral home to be constructed on Durham Road 8. Value of the permit was $275,000. chen shut except for meals prepared for Kinsmen Club meetings. He said the estimate of what it 'would cost to totally renovate the kitchen for catering to weddings, ets and other social functions is $15,000 and he suggested that if the Township agreed to finance this work immediately, the Kinsmen Club would repay the funds over a period of three years. The Kinsmen Club took over com- plete operation of the hall about three months ago, and Mr. Bouillon said the Club can't afford to con- Paul Wilson, an Oshawa builder told council, the lots would range in size from one acre to 1.25 acres and be serviced with individual wells ~ and septic systems. The proposed development, call- ed 'The Meadows' is 85 acres of land on the west side of the Oshawa Road, south of Concession Two. In the past few years, there have been several development proposals for this piece of property. Mr. Wilson said that if the development gets approval .from council, construction of homes would be phased over five or six years. He said the land does not have very good agricultural poten- tial and soil tests indicate the area is capable of supporting homes on private wells and septic systems. He said the eventual price of the homes would be determined by the cost of servicing the development. Council took no action Monday on 'the proposal. Mayor Jerry Taylor said the council will be having a meeting in the very near future to discuss numerous development pro- posals that have been submitted for Scugog Township over the past cou- ple of months.

PORT PERRY PLAZA WL dd J ha tinue to keep the hall operating if sources of revenue from banquets, etc. are cut off due to lack of a pro- per kitchen. coo While no decision was made on the request for the loan, members of council agreed that since the building is owned by the municipali- ty, the Township should contribute - to upgrading the kitchen. Councillor Harvey Graham suggested that the . Kinsmen Club and the Township share the cost of upgrading. But members of council were ada- ment that the Kinsmen Hall not be re-zoned to allow a commercial catering business to operate there. Mr. Bouillon said that for the past two months, the Kinsmen Club had been leasing the hall kitchen to Al's Catering, but this was stopped last week when the Health Unit in- spected the premises. ~ "There is no way that property can be re-zoned, I can't support a commercial catering business operating out of that hall," said Ward 2 councillor Howard Hall. Ward 2 councillor Yvonne Christie also said that she would not support any commercial operations from the hall. She said before council makes any decision to put money in- to the kitchen facilities, the report from the Health Unit should be ex- amined by council. Mr. Bouillon told council that it now costs the Kinsmen Club about $9,000 annually to keep the hall operating. The Scouts and Guides are permitted to use it free of charge. The Kinsmen Club needs to rent the hall for weddings and other social functions to help pay for the upkeep: Without a proper kitchen, however, the demand for rentals would greatly decline. Council told Mr. Bouillon to come up with a firm estimate of what it will cost to upgrade the kitchen and the matter will be discussed again when the council meets on June 23. Port school (From page 1) Since May 14, Mrs. Tredway has brought five altérnate sites for the school to the Board's attention, but all were ruled out as being too ex- pensive or not in the right location. She said she was 'very disap- pointed" that all five alternate sites were ruled out. In fact, she was critical of the Board's handling of the school site situation through the entire process for "putting all the eggs in one basket' (the Fairgrounds site). Had the new school been built at . the Fairgrounds, construction would have started this fall with the doors open in time for classes in September next year. Both R.H. Cornish in Port Perry and Prince Albert P.S. are crowd- ed, with numerous portables at each location.
