Two were in Kitchener while a third was in Waterioo across from the Zellers Springer said she was approached by two different real estate agents last Wednesday who wanted her to know about three potential new locations for her furniture Plaza on Bridgeport Road East. "For purposes of applying the zoning bylaw, parking is calculated on the total amount of existing and proposed building floor area and is is not tied to the internal uses of the building," the staff report reads. However Springer said she was upset with council‘s decision. "H 1 had office space, there‘s no way I‘d need an extra 16 parking spaces," she said. "For what | was going to use the premises for, it‘s even unicalled for because it was not going to be used as a furniture store. The additional space was going to be used as office space." But Edmonds, who presented a‘leer to council signed by 15 area residents who were against the addition, was pleased with councils decision. "It‘s too bad for Ms. Springer because we understand from a business point of view her desire," Edmonds said. "But on the other hand, we live there. She only works quality of life on the street. : _ Rot At the Aug, 19 meeting, Springer asked council to amend the so !umauu:: squareâ€"loot addition on top of her present oneâ€"storey 7,143 squareâ€"foot furniture store.

The zoning bylaw said because of the increased floor area, Springer would have to increase her current number of parking spaces from 12 to 28. But the businessâ€" woman asked to be permitted only to increase her number of parking spaces to 15. Jackson said Springer had been allowed to provide 12 parking spaces for her origiâ€" nal store instead of the required 17 when it was lirst permitted under a siteâ€"specific zoning exemption back in 1982. The planâ€" ner also said because Springer had acquired no more property on the site since then, she could not expand the number of parkâ€" ing spaces on site beyond the current 12. As a result, because Springer had to supâ€" ply at least another 16 onâ€"site parking spaces to conform with the zoning bylaw, Jackson recommended that Springer‘s request for a zoning bylaw amendment be turned down. 313“ The advantages of having real estate listings on the Internet are almost endless, says John Ordiway.
