Lakeside Landmark to Close

A landmark in Lakeside will be going the way of the dinosaur.

The owners of the Lakeside Mini-Mart have made an application to the city's property and planning committee for permission to turn the convenience store into a four unit apartment complex.

There are currently two apartment's on the upper floor of the building and the owners are proposing to develop the lower floor to include two more apartments.

Jeff Port made the pitch to the committee this week and says the change in use of the building will result in less traffic in the area and is consistant with the land usage in the neighborhood.
