3. Home Hardware -S.W. Corner of Orchard Heights Blvd. and Yonge
H~t
Drawings were reviewed by the Committee of a typical "Home Hardware
Centre" ·showing an "Armco", metal building.
The Committee recommends that approval of this type of building be
witheld until a similar building (Home Hardware Centre) can be
visited and inspected by the Committee.

A revised plot plan, and elevations of "B and "C" models were studied b:
the Committee in conjunction with two letters #10-53 and #10-52, from
Mr. Thomas H. Won, Consulting Engineer for this project.
As the owners requested a revision to the original Site-Plan and the
Committee ~ecommended this change at a meeting of February 14th. 1973,
which was adopted by Council on February 19th. 1973, the Committee n01,v
recommend this new Revision QQi be approved.
The elevations presented of Models "B" and "C" are not the ones that
were approved by Council. The Committee therefore recommends these
also be not approved, and the 4 original models, as approved, are the
ones to be erected.
The Committee concurs with letter #10-52 referring to 75% solid block
and Number 1 Sound Transmission, between units.

"Development Commercial"
