Gerrie Glenn, a Lucknow developer, received ap proval from Hensall council to proceed with plans to build a three store develop ment. Mr. Glenn plans to erect a yellow brick building, with 68.5 feet of frontage, between the Hensall post of fice and the Hensall hotel. The developer, who was waiting for council’s ap proval before approaching businesses about leasing space, said he hopes to rent one of the spaces for a Becker’s Milk Store. The developer said he will start construction of the building when he has two stores committed to renting space in the buiding. Mr. Glenn is also planning to build an apartment building in Hensall, on Queen Street, but construc tion on the building hasn’t started. After hearing plans for the store development, council members expressed some concern over lack of parking facilities in front of the store. The only parking included in the development proposal is a small lot behind the stores for employee park ing. Reeve Harold Knight said the only drawback he could see to the proposal “is a fan tastic parking problem” since residents would be pulling in to both the post of fice and the stores. Chris Borgal, represen ting the architect’s firm of Hill and Borgal, Goderich, said allowing for parking in front of the stores would destroy the Hensall streetscape. He said the decision not to provide for a parking lot in front of the store was made purely on the fact of visual impact. The architect said the development proposal sub mitted to council would maintain the quality of the village while trying to im prove the commercial area. One council member suggested the peak hours for post office traffic were between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m.. which likely wouldn’t be the hours people would be shop ping in the stores. The architect pointed out the size of the stores means at least one will be a con venience store and none of the three stores would be the kind where customers spend a great length of time shop ping. Reeve Knight said, “Well, I’m not one for stopping development, but I think there will be a bit of a park ing problem.” Council members un- animously approved the development. Mr. Glenn informed coun cil he would clean up the site of his proposed apartment building within the next 30 days.
