Re-zoning is sought An application has been filed with Scugog Township for a re-zoning to allow an auto body repair shop behind a residential home on North Street in Port Perry. The application was made by Doug Hughes who owns the North . Street property. He currently operates an auto body repair and painting business in rented premises on Durham Road 8, west of Port Perry. Mr. Hughes told council his plans for the shop on North Street include a building 30 by 50' which would be large enough for four vehicles. And he said his working hours would be 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday to Friday only. The public meeting into this ap- plication was held in the council chambers July 14 and there were three letters of opposition from per- sons who own property nearby. The letters said this kind of business should not be located so close to the downtown area of Port Perry. Members of council raised con- cerns that while Mr. Hughes operates a one-man business during week-days only, he could sell it at a future date and new owners might expand and decide to operate at night and on week-ends. Council is expected to make a decision on this zoning amendment application some time within the next four weeks.
