Report to Council GM 08-98, including attachments, dealing with the East Woodlands
Site for the Western Library Branch and Multi-Functional Community Facility and the
existing buildings on site should be received.
2.
Given the fact that there is no practical use for the regency cottage or the butler style
building, and given the financial constraints we are currently facing, it is simply unrealistic
at this time to undertake the preservation of these buildings. Council should consider the
demolition of the existing regency cottage and butler style building at the East Woodlands
site, at the appropriate time, either when dispensing with the lands and or with the
construction of a new building.
3.
Furthermore, it is recommended that any disposition of the land in question be addressed
after the Durham Board of Education has formally clarified to the Town its intentions with
regards to the Woodlands Park School site, expected in October or November, 1998.
