But mentally, we‘ve won already because of the response we‘ve had and the public opinion we‘ve gotten back," Kulchecki said. Melodee Martinuk Chronicle Staff ‘"Democracy in action.‘‘ That‘s how local develorcr Abe Wiebe saw a decision Monday by Waterloo planners not to pursgue an earlier recommendation for more restrictive zoning in the King/University area. This spring a committee of businessmen from the King/ University area organized their neigh bors in a campaign to oppose a zone change recommended by the city‘s planning departâ€" ment last November.

Jim Erb. "It‘s nothing formal â€" it‘s for all the citizens of the Twin Cities We did it specifically at that time so all the people would be back from their vacations, so all adults would be out of work, so all children would be out of school. We want everyone to be a part of it." According to Erb, the festivities will get underway at 4: 30 p.m. when the Twin City‘s 14 Olympians, together with Mayor Marâ€" jorie Carroll and Mayor Dominic Cardillo will travel from Kitchener city hall up King Street to Waterloo in eight open topped cars. At the reception, which will include musical entertainment and remarks by both mayors, the athletes will receive plaques of recognition and a donation, the amount still to be determined, made to the Canadian Olymic Association.

If the proposed zone change were approved, they maintained, it would hinder redevelopment of the area by severely limiting the types of business that could establish there. With each contributing to the cost, the group hired Waterloo planner Mark Dorfman to prepare a report, dgefining their reasons for their opposition to the proposed zoning, and to outline a more acceptable alternative. "It‘s the first time this has been done in Waterioo, perbaps in the Twin Cities," said Wiebe . In his report presented to city council Monday, Dorfman said the character of the King/Univerâ€" sity area has changed substantially in recent years as a result of the numerous "highâ€"order"‘ shops which have moved into the vicinity. The attraction, he explained, is a potential market of more than 27,000 vehicles which use that intersection each day. Dorfman said that if the city were to pursue the proposed zone change, there would be a ‘serious reduction"‘ of at least 30 permitted uses in that area, ranging from bookstores and apartments to clothing stores and music shops. "It‘s not really a change for the better, it‘s a cause for grave concern," he said, noting that *‘ ‘downâ€"zoning‘ of these properties creates potentially legally nonâ€"conforming uses, but more importantly, this change in zoning will effectively reverse the recent trend" towards redevelopment in the area. The planner told aldermen that approval of a broader commercial zoning would encourage a major redevelopment of the area which could possibly spread further to the west and east. He maintained that, in the long term, such redevelopment would establish 27,400 square metres of commercial space, as well as some 384 multiple residential units. "It would give property owners a signal to start assembling land for creative redevelopâ€" ment," he said. "and will recognize the area as a commercial core complementing the Uptown, rather than competing with it." City planner Tom Slomke told council the restrictive commercial zoning was recommendâ€" ed as part of a move to streamline commercial zones in the city.. After discussions with Dorfman and further consideration, Slomke said the planning department has concluded that there is a potential for a great deal of development in the King/University area and it would withdraw the recommended zone change. Instead, planners will pursue the zone changes recommended by the land owners report. Following Dorfman‘s presentation, Wiebe gave council a petition signed by 80 per cent of the land owners in the area which supported the report‘s conclusions. identification card, containing their child‘s photograph, which must be upâ€"dated yearly, fingerprints and information considered necessary for police identificaâ€" tion â€" name, address, physical description, blood type, allergies, a list of scars or birth marks and names of family doctor and dentist. Only one copy of the card will be made and it will be available to parents for $1. ‘"‘The cards were designed in coâ€"operation with the police department and contain what information the police set down as being necessary to properly identify a child,"" Phoenix explained. An obvious advantage of the program, he feels, is the speed at which a current photograph and physical description of the missing child can be provided for CHILD Identification Progaram Civil Shinerama, the annual fundâ€"raisâ€" ing event now in its 20th yéar at Wilfrid Laurier University, will be expanding this year with the inâ€" troduction of a Shinerama Bow! football game between Laurier and the University of Guelph to round out the day‘s activities Saturday Sept. 8.
