Office space planned for building
Development Applications Board.
The Leslie A. White building -- which presently houses the Buckaroo restaurant, the Mayfair beauty salon and six apartments -- is set to become office space.
The DAB has already given approval to add a fourth storey to the Church Street building.
Meanwhile, the latest plans, which are yet to be approved, include turning the building into offices on the ground, first, second and third floors.
Buckaroo Restaurant owner David Cauchi, a tenant of 27 years, yesterday said he had not heard anything from his landlord. He declined to comment further.
The building is owned by a trust, the beneficiaries of which are David L.
White, editor of The Royal Gazette , and his daughter Lesley Ann White.
The DAB last week approved the Bermuda Housing Corporation's plans to expand a residential care facility for male teens at the former Ocean View Apartments on Aeolia Drive, Pembroke.
The Board granted planning permission, on the condition that only eight residents occupy the facility at any given time; DAB permission must be sought should the Housing Corporation wish to alter that number.
Gorham's Ltd. was given the green light to make renovations to an existing building at its St. John's Road property.
Home Centre Manager Henry Durham told The Royal Gazette the company plans to renovate a building that late last August made headlines after its roof caved in following a heavy rain.
