Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD -81 -94 be received;

REPORT
1. On May 25, 1994, the Ontario Municipal Board adjourned the Hearing
on various planning matters related to the proposed West Main
Central Area and requested that the Municipality "revisit" one
element of the proposed secondary plan for this area. Specifically
the Board requested that the Municipality examine the relative
impact on the existing Main Central Area of a hybrid power centre
comprised of a department store, a food store and big box retailers
versus the community shopping centre proposed by Markborugh
Properties.
2. The Board indicated that it favoured the evidence of the
Municipality's retail market expert, Mr. Jeff Climans, over the
evidence of other market analysts. Subsequent to discussions with
Council, staff and the Municipality's solicitor requested the Mr.
Climan's prepare a proposal which addresses the issues outlined by
the Board. Mr. Climan's proposal estimates the cost of the
additional work including attendance at the September 6, 1994
hearing at $29,250.00 plus G.S.T. Any additional time and expenses
incurred for the preparation of further testimony and assistance at
the hearing would be additional to this quotation and subject to
further authorization.

3. Markborough Properties Inc. has reviewed the proposal and has
agreed that the costs are reasonable and appropriate. They have
provided a letter of undertaking to indemnify the Municipality for
the expenses incurred for this additional work.
4. Given the direction provided by the Board in its interim statement
of May 25, 1994, it is recommended that The Climans Group Inc. be
authorized to undertake the additional retail market analysis
required to address the Board's concerns.
