Some
of

have
resulted
from
the
initial
flow
of
informatlonbetweencom-
pany
and
city
not
going
forward
to
council
but
being
handled
at
the
civic
administrative
level
This
left
the

in

when
problems
of

were

to

last

described

by

Steve

who
appeared
for

Monday
as

AT

Two
things
are
at
issue
First
no
parking
was
planned
by
Oxford
but
the
city
wants
parking
provided
by
the
builders
Bylaw
requirement
is
for
one
parking
space
for
each
500
feet
of
floor
space
In
a
new
building
in
that
area
The
Royal
is
slated
to
have
a
total
of
65000
square
feet
of
floor
space
Second
the
building
exceeds
the
maximum
five
to
one
ratio
of
floor
space
to
ground
area
prescribed
by
the
city
In
terms
of
floor
space
the
present
building
bylaw
would
per
permit
�
mit
a
49500
square
foot
struc
structure

The

would
have

if
it

as
originally

conceived

ed
in
Its

with
