He suggested if the project is permitted to proceed that the traffic could be routed along Bayly Street to St. Martin's Drive and south on St. Mar~in's Drive to the development site. The Council felt that Mr. Burn covered some important aspects of the proposed development, concluding that the residents should have the opportunity of meeting with the developer and Council to discuss in more detail the overall proposal.

King was overruled and Mr. Rumm was permitted to speak. Moved by Deputy Reeve R. Chatten, seconded by Councillor V. Rudik, that Mr. Rumm of Consolidated Building Corporation be heard. Mr. ~umm appeared before Council with a proposal to convert the garden court homes in Block J, Plan M-17 to a condominium development. This would entail considerable architectural design changes to the present buildings and landscaping. Mr. Rumm was of the opinion that the pride of ownership engendered through the single family principle will greatly enhance the entire area. Mr. Rumm was asked about the parking and whether they had con- sidered the improvement of this situation, to which he advised that some underground and depressed parking areas would be incorporated in the scheme. ~hen asked about the proposed widening of Lawrence Avenue, Mr. Rumm advised Council that none of the buildings would be affected, however, the front yards would be considerably reduced. Council was in no position to indicate what their view would be to this change until they are supplied with a complete report and sketch of the proposal. Mr. Rumm indicated that he would prepare a comprehensive report and design sketches of the proposed redevelopment of the total scheme.. ~ith that, he thanked Council and departed from the Council Chambers. ~)._ CORRESPONDENCE 1.
