on the north side of Concession Street between
Lisgar Avenue and Queen Street.
"Rl" to "R2" to permit a duplex dwelling. Mr. Henry
Harley appeared before the Committee in support of
his application. He indicated that prior to his pur-
chase in 1973 of the building, it had been used as a
duplex dwelling. He indicated he was willing to abide
by all requirements of Building and Fire Departments

would be provided by establishment of parking area off
of driveway to rear of building.

subject building was used as a duplex dwelling, it

Committee recommend to Council approval in
principal of the zone change application of
Henry and Andrea Harley of lot 475, Plan 500
from "Rl" to "R2" subject to submission and
approval of proposed improvements to subject
lands to be detailed in site plan, internal
floor plan and landscaping plan.
CARRIED
Elevators -Multi-Family Apartment Buildings
Mr. Richard Crane appeared before Committee as a representative
of the ambulance association. He reported that elevators in-
stalled locally in apartment buildings were too small to take
a stretcher. If need arose for stretcher care above first
floors, then use of stairwells would have to be made. It was
further noted that construction of some stairwells was such that
stretcher-use would be near impossible affecting care of
patient.
It was his suggestion that elevators be of such design and size
tb permit entry of a standard stretcher preferably with doors of
elevator at end of elevator. As well, that stairway be designed
to accommodate transfer of patients by stretcher.
By-Law Enforcement Officer
Members of Committee inquired as to whether or not Council had
as of yet given consideration to Committee's recommendation of
engaging a By-Law Enforcement Officer (see minutes of August 9,
1979).
