There91裸聊视频檚 two sides to every debate.
While Salmon Arm city council has primarily heard from people seeking to preserve the former Orchard House building, those opposed to its retention are now coming out of the woodwork.
In response to citizens91裸聊视频 concerns about the planned demolition of the building at 72022nd St. NE, across from the recreation centre, city council agreed to a delay in January. This is to allow the city91裸聊视频檚 Heritage Commission to conduct an evaluation of the building91裸聊视频檚 heritage values and for the commission to provide recommendations to council.
At the city council discussion on Jan. 16, Dorothy Rolin listed some of the history of the building, noting that Lt.Colonel Bernard Scott, who served in the Indian Army, built the Colonial style bungalow named Dilkusha in 1914.
Dilkusha was turned into The Orchard House restaurant in the late91裸聊视频70s, later into Mino91裸聊视频檚 restaurant and, most recently, the Heritage Chop House.
But some citizens have written to council supporting the building91裸聊视频檚 removal and future expansion of recreation services at the site.
Last November, the city announced its purchase of the one-acre or 4,400 square metre property with the plan to demolish the building and use the site for future expansion of the rec centre, specifically for a new pool.
Doug Hlina, a city resident, says those who want to save the building should be willing to put up funds for that purpose.
91裸聊视频淔or the people who have objected to the demolition of Orchard House and wanting to preserve the building, they all had an equal opportunity to purchase the property,91裸聊视频 he states in a letter to city council. 91裸聊视频淚f tey are so adament about saving this building, let them set up a fund to raise money for its move to another location adn its contiual maintenance. Do not waste my tax dollars on ongoing repairs, maintenace, insurance and secutiry this building will require for years to come.91裸聊视频
Leonard Molberg also writes in support of recreational use.
91裸聊视频淲hen I am old and have outlived my usefulness, I will die and be gone forever. Why can91裸聊视频檛 old buildings do the same,91裸聊视频 says the 72-year-old grandfather of a toddler.

The issue is set to come back to council on March 27.
