From appearances, the subject building is designed as a condominium. The standards that apply to condominiums differ from rental units. The Committee must decide if in their minds, the complex was accepted as a rental unit or as a condominium. The Region will require a resolution from Council stating that Council considered this property as a condominium prior to the building permit being issued. Under new legislation, once a building permit has been issued for rental units, the rental units are not subject to condominium conversion. Mr. D. Ewart, Dondeb Construction, P.O. Box 520, Orillia, L3B 3K4, present at the request of Committee, explained that it has always been Dondeb's intention to construct this building as a condominium. The building is designed for that purpose. If Dondeb had signed a formal document declaring their intent then everything would be in order. At the time they did not have the necessary engineering drawings, and were not aware of the declaration and agreements necessary for the condominium. An Affidavit signed by Melvin Dancy, President of Dondeb, outlining the events and intentions was submitted. Mrs. Patricia Best, R. R. #1, Hampton, on behalf of the Visual ArLCentre, was present regarding their request for a $25,000 grant for 1988. The N.C.S.A.B. recommends $17,000, which doesn't cover the salaries or maintenance. To move ahead and keep the doors open and to bring art to the Town of Newcastle, more staff is required. The Town is not aware of the number of free hours that are put into this operation. The Visual Arts Centre wants to have a separate identity. Irwin A. Hamilton, Hamilton & Bellefontaine, 43 Ontario Street, Bowmanville, introduced Brian Farmer and David Crone, Vice-President of Powerscreen, 405 Frankcom Street, Ajax. David Crone gave a brief history of the company. They have been located in Ajax for 13 years and have increased their business to the extent that they have outgrown their present facilities. Once the equipment is built it is stored outside. It will be difficult to see the unit from the 401. Mr. Brian Farmer stated the company is looking for a better location and would like to relocate in the Town. The company presently employees 25 people and would like to increase their number. . ,G.P.A. Minutes . Recess PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT .
