Lack of parking spaces has forced the owners of a new building on Water Street to give up plans to include a restau- rant. Lawyer George Smith told council Monday afternoon his clients have abandoned the idea to re-open Jim's Pizza in the newly completed brick building on the west side of Water Street. To re-open the restaurant, the building would have needed about 36 parking spaces. At best, there are only 17 spaces on the available land. Mr. Smith said his clients had been under the impression the council would accept "cash- in-lieu" of parking spaces. He said the plans for the building now call for two retail stores at ground level, commer- cial use of the second level and an apartment on the top level. But Mr. Smith agreed that even to use the building for these purposes, there will have to be several minor variances granted to eliminate a buffer be- tween the parking area and the lot line, to exclude a stairway and utility room from the Littering fines increased From Page 1 two members of council. Yvonne Christie felt the maximum level of $6,000 should be higher. And Marilyn Pearce said the $1,000 minimum might make it impossible for the Township to get a conviction against somebody who throws away a coffee cup or pop can. "We (Scugog Township) spend $12,000 a year cleaning up in the parks, maybe we should be trying to convict those who throw away a coffee cup be- side the lake," she said. The amendment, however, is designed to combat the prob- lem of large amounts of trash (often truck-loads) dumped by persons who want to avoid pay- ing the tipping fees at landfill sites, or the haulage charges to the Brock West dump in Picker- ing.

Jim's Pizza was located in the building that was demol- ished to make way for construc- tion of the new building. On viewing plans Monday afternoon, members of council said that two of the 17 parking spaces would have to be elimi- nated because they interfere with a truck loading dock at the rear of the building. Plans submitted when the building permit was taken out last year called for a restaurant on the second floor, storage on the ground level and an apart- ment on the third level.

That's the date Township council will consider a draft by- law for the building proposed for land owned by the Catholic Diocese. The land is located at the back of the Immaculate Concep- tion Church on Highway 7A. The project has inched its way towards approval over the last several years Funding for the non-profit seniors building has been ap- proved by the provincial govern- ment. ' Council met again on Mon- day with Rae Marcus, lawyer for the Diocese, and Reg Philip, a resident of Ash Street who represents property owners on that street who have raised nu- merous concerns about the pro- ject. Mr. Philip told council Monday that a recent meeting between Ash Street residents and John Farrugia, the project - architect, was successful in ad- dressing several of their con- cerns. But Mr. Philip said the Ash Street residents want their con- cerns addressed in writing. And he said the residents will demand that plans to cor- rect drainage problems be ap- proved by Township engineers. Ms. Marcus told council that she feels these concerns can be handled. But she said one request by the Ash Street residents that their street not be used by heavy equipment during con- struction may be impossible to meet. 5, Variety of BREAKFAST SPECIALS -- Monday to Thursday -- RAVIOLLI or SPAGHETTI includes soup or salad, garlic bread & coffee -- Friday, Saturday, Sunday -- FISH & CHIPS or SHRIMP BASKET includes soup or salad, potatoes, dinner roll, coffee 2nd SERVING FREE on ABOVE SPECIALS -- DAILY SPECIALS -- WILSON FURNITURE HALF PRICE 7.183 lo] | JJ.
