Ron Starr, president of development at Deanlee, promised they would take a serious look at moving the building to the north near the centre of the site near the Long and Bisby building.

“We’re going to look at all that,” Mr. Starr told the meeting. “What you see here is not in stone.”

About 75 people who attended the meeting at the Nash Auditorium were presented with the developer’s revised plans for the site. The plans were revised after the company received comments on its original submission from city planners and local commenting agencies such as the Niagara Escarpment Commission.

Chedoke area resident John Norris said moving the six storey building would save some green space on the site.

“The challenge currently with this (proposal) is you’ll end up with a six storey building in the middle of what’s currently an open space parkland on the south-east side,” Mr. Norris said.
