writer the design of the proposed 57million indoor pool and library slated for memorial park south was received with guarded optimism tuesday evening about 85 residents packed whitchurch- stouffvilles municipal chambers to hear architect robert allen of maclennan jaunkalns and miller ltd give an update on the twin complex unwant ed by some locals the architect did a good job of designing a building to fit the needs ofvvhitchurchstouffville said mayor wayne emmerson the facility has 16566 square feet reserved for a sixlane indoor swimming pool and 13121 square feet for the library a 9430squarefoot library hall and an aclministration office measuring 3690 square feet are included this will almost double the size of the existing library emmerson said the complex is being built to accommodate expansion of both the pool and the library allen said adding an expansion could include a fitness centre instead of expanding the library at the complex emmerson is pushing for a satellite library for ballantrae and area a diving board is not included in the plan however swimmers will enjoy a slide measuring 112 revolutions and a pool viewing room is part of the plan most municipal pools do not have div ing boards because of liability concerns allen said the sixlane pool will be 24 metres at the deep end and 105 m at the shallow end with rampto accommodate people with special needs the plan also calls for a teaching pool and a splash down pool suitable for young children said allen while an ontario municipal board challenge expected to be heard this spring will freeze the entire project it is not discouraging the architects the project could be ready to go to tender in two weeks said company partner and architect john maclennan the people of this community have wanted an indoor pool for a long time still emmerson is warning the public that if construction doesnt get underway by september the project could be scrapped the project is facing two serious hurdles the omb hearing and thepossibility the project could be lost in the shuffle if wwtchurchstouffville is taken in by amalgamation its too bad the people of this community have wanted an indoor pool for a very long time emmerson said last summer council picked the site a 17acre parcel of land acquired at no cost from a developer the project attracted immediate and strong opposition and the residents information group rig has been fighting the plan for months the strongest opposition is to moving the library from its downtown site the group was scheduled to hold an informa tion and fundraising meeting last night on feb 1 council is slated to vote on the project design plan then it will got to tender and thats where it stops emmerson said were into legal proceedings we cant go forward correction comments contained in a jan 10 story stating a ratepayers group surveyed more than 5000 people about the proposed indoor pool and library com plex and that about 80 per cent of those questioned did not support the plan to have the complex at memorial park south should have been attributed to david probert and not stephen sword the tribune apologizes for the error mfmysm factory
