Council okays major lakeshore project (From page 1) Bill Woodworth, the architect who is designing the condomin- lum buildings said they will not be square box type structures, but will have high peaked roofs to make them appear like large homes. In giving approval to the Of- ficial Plan amendment applica- ton, one condition set down by council is that an outside consui- tant will verify that a study done for the developer on the impact of the commercial component is ac- curate. Ward 1 councillor Yvonne Chrisite voted against giving the approval in principle Monday af- ternoon, and she said later she still has concerns about the over- all density of the project. She said she woud like to see the number of condo units and apartments re- duced. "I'm not opposed to some housing there (in that location) bu there are too many units and the buildings are too large," she told the Star. Mrs. Christie said-she also wants to sce the results of an in- dependent analysis of the proposed commercial component of the de- velopment, and what impact this will have on the existing business community in Port Perry and Scugog Township. Meanwhile, work on a sea wall along the shore of Lake Scu- gog has already started, and Mr. Moehring told councillors Mon- day the sea wall should be com- pleted by the end of March. The work will involve plac- ing large concrete slabs in vertical position along the shore line. While council's action on Monday afternoon is a significant step forward in the approval pro- cess for this large project, there will be hearings at both the Re- gional Icvel and at the local levels when re-zoning applications are filed. The Township and Mr. Moe- rhing are also in the process of negotiating for a small chunk of municipal land just south of the baseball diamond. The council earlicr agreed to turn this triangle over to Mr. Moeh- ring who wants to enclose the large drainage ditch that cuts through it. Council will be ask- ing for financial compensation in return for this small piece of land.

Re-zoning for depot is considered Scugog Township council is considering a re-zoning applica- tion which would allow a depot on Highway 7A cast of Nestleton for the garbage trucks owned by Brown's Sanitation of Scugog Is- land. Edgar Brown has applied to the Township to re-zone about three acres of a 25 acre parcel lo- cated on the north side of High- way 7A immediately west of the Springwater campgrounds. The site used to be a pottery manufac- turing business. A public meeting into the re- zoning application was held in the council chambers Monday after- noon, and the owner of the trailer campground to the east expressed serious reservations about a truck depot so close to a vacation area. "People come from the city (to the park) to relax, and they won't want to listen to trucks next door," said Bill Deurwaarder. Lawyer Michael Fowler repre- senting Brown's Sanitation, told the meeting that just two garbage trucks each day would be leaving the depot, and they are cleaned with chemicals at the landfill site at the end of each working day. He said his client would use the existing building as an office, and would construct a new garage at the rear of the property and a house where his client would live. Mr. Fowler said his client is Building There was nearly $900 mil- lion worth of building permitsis- sued last year in Durham Region, a 24 per cent increase over the previous year.
