A new medical clinic is in the works for Yorkton. Anticipated as many as five doctors may work out of it, it will be build along Gladstone Avenue South, just south of Saddles & Steel.
At Monday evening's regular meeting of City Council bylaws were amended to accommodate a request to rezone two current dwellings - 16 and 20 Gladstone Avenue South - to make way for their demolition and the construction of the new medical office.
"There are two small dwellings on the properties," says Michael Eger, city planner. "Both parcels have narrow frontage but are quite deep in comparison to the other residential lots. It is intended that both dwellings be removed for the construction of a main floor medical clinic with future retail (pharmaceutical) and second floor residential."
The area is an older area," says Eger that is anticipated to transition from residential to commercial. "Gladstone Avenue South is a high volume arterial roadway and this site's proximity to bus routes makes it appealable to older clients of the medical clinic."
Building will commence shortly and engineering services are tasked to examine traffic impact to determine if any road improvements will be necessary.
