Councillors spent more than two hours last Wednesday afternoon as consultants and designers working for Otter Financial Corporation of Toronto outlined the plans for a large indoor shopping market, a restaurant, a fitness centre with swimming pool, four condominium buildings (90 units in total) and a 100-unit retirement apartment building. 'The land in question is on the north side of Highway 7A to the lakeshore where the Conway, Bayshore Take-out, Car wash and Laundromat are presently located. Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor described the proposal as 'very im- pressive. This community has never seen one of this size or magnitude before." Nestleton Post Office will have new home The Nestleton Post Office will be moving later this year, but it will be staying in the community. Jeff Conn, a spokesman for Canada Post told the Star last week that the corporation has reached an agreement with Mark Malcolm, owner of Mark's Maintenance Petro Can service station to have the Post Office located in his building on Highway 7A, just west of the *'four corners" in Nestleton. Mr. Conn said postal customers in the community will have the same level of counter service that was available when the Post Office was located in the Country Store.

The Mayor suggested after the meeting that a construc- tion start next summer is unrealistic, considering the size and magnitude of the project. Ward 2 councillor Howard Hall told the Star in a later interview that he has several serious concerns about the proposal that was presented last week. ~The first is whether 90,000 square feet of additional retail store space is too much for the Port Perry com- munity at this time. To determine what impact this much retail space might have on the community, the council has ordered an economic (Turn to page 13) keep the Post Office function in Nestleton,"' said Mr. Conn. He said the only major difference will be the installation of lock boxes where customers can pick up their mail. The exact hours for counter ser- vice have yet to be established, but Mr. Conn said they "will be com- parable' to the 34 hours per week the counter-is-open in the Country Store. Access to the lock boxes in- side the garage will be during the hours the garage is open to the public. Mr. Conn said the changeover will take place some time early in Saturday, October 17 is Apple Day for Scouts, Cubs and Beavers in the Port Perry area.
