The Corporation of Hamilton discussed four applications for development within the city yesterday.

This included a building on Park Road in Pembroke which is seeking to have public art work displayed outside, including wall murals, decorative paintings and signage.

Alderman Pamela Ferreira said some of the proposed art work was "beautiful", however couldn't be seen from the street level. In complying with policies that relate to public art work, she asked for more information about the size of the works and types of furniture. She said: "We are not going to object or agree to this applicant (at this time)."

A warehouse on the corner of 64 Dundonald, at the corner of King Street, has also submitted an application to demolish the existing building and construct a new warehouse.

Ms Ferreira said: "We feel it will be an improvement to the current facility." But she proposed that several changes be made, including allowing space for BELCO to improve the street lights and for the facility to be made handicap friendly.

The application might be approved depending on whether the changes could be made, she said.

Another application was made to remove existing planters, enlarge the patio and create a storage area at Cycle Care on Serpentine Road.

The Corporation said they were concerned the pedestrian sidewalk towards Bull's Head Car Park might be made too narrow by the development. Yesterday they said they would contact the owner "to find ways to meet both of (their) interests".

Meanwhile an architect with s. h. y Architecture has submitted another plan to develop the House of Assembly grounds on Parliament Street.

The application asks for 120 car park spaces, which the Corporation's city engineer said would need to be analysed before approved.
