He questioned the objectivity of some committee members and claimed rating sheets (a point system for location, cost, maintenance, etc. of each proj- ect) did not work. In a letter to council, city Traffic Engineer Robert Rich- ardson pointed out a city bylaw calls for one parking space for every six seats provided in a "place of assembly". This would mean a minimum of 500 off-street parking spaces for the proposed 3,000-seat grandstand. At least 3% acres would be needed just for park- ing. Mayor Gifford said last night several Ontario municipalities have asked for a further time extension (deadline now Nov. 9) He said he has written provin- cial centennial officials about this but he refused comment on the possibility of a plebiscite. His Worship did describe, the committee's grandstand vote as "not a conclusive decision. It is too close a margin to accept," he said, emphasizing this was no reflection on the committee. City Clerk Roy Barrand said Nov. 9 is also the latest date for a council decision on a | plebiscite. He said the question would have to be advertised three times in the three weeks preceding the December civic election. Three aldermen doubted the choice could be worded well enough on a ballot to insure a voter's understanding of the cost, financing and . location background questions. Mr. Hart told council the | grandstand has the least appeal of the three _ final-choice projects. "I saw the Scarbor- ough grandstand on a sunny Saturday afternoon and the place was locked. No one was using the adjacent playing fields. "IT saw the Lindsay grand- stand on the Fair's opening day and no one was in the stands. There was a handful of people in the restaurant and in the dis- play areas." Mr. Hart gave second place to the pool, recommended for the Civic Auditorium. site. "But the cost is away over our budget ($186,000) so this pro- ject would be only partially a centennial project. And Oshawa is not badly off for pools.
