BOARD Tethird public Planinq Board meeting was hield last week to discuss alternatives f'or the OfficiaI Plan. Over one hundred people attended this meeting to show and ex- press their interest and ques- tions. Planning Board Chaîrman Councillor Bob White started^ the evening by introducing the board and other officiaIs present including Mayor Des- mnond Newman, Dr. Michael the Director of Planning, theit took over to proceed with an elaborate slide presentation showing photographis of the waterfront, rural, industrial, and downtown areas includ- ing aerial photos of rnost of these subjects. This detailed presentation was backed up by plans, diagrarns, and more photographis displayed on the walls of the couincil chamibers. Sorne of the main ques- tions iin the minds of planners are: How fast should we grow? what features should be pro- tected; the best way of fin- proving and/or developing neighbouul'moods, the town centre, the harbour area; the areas best suited for. new housing, shopping, industry; and how to deal with the need for increased mobility and increased traffiïc. And the limnited alternatives are con- strained by existing condi- tions, and Planning Principles sternining fromn the goals and objectives. It was pointed out that the range of population capacity MEETING n serviceci areas is76- 1 00,000 people. Walter Evans, Director of Publiic Works, later stated that the sanitary sewer iow is designed for 140,000 people or population equivalent. The est imnated growth southi of Taun ton Road, over the next thirty years, is 57 to 81 ,000 additionaî people, so it was tentatively concluded to develop highier densities near centres, that are acces- sible to traffic and open space withou t encroachient oni ex- isting low density residential neighbourhoods. In the question and answer period following the presen- tation, Dr. Warren in his comi- mients stated 1i can't get over in the ten years l've lived in Whitby how l've seen the Town deteriorate." Mayor Newman repîied ..I think we have to recog- nize we're far fromi the ideal (if we want siaîl intimnate communities" and went on to say, 1I think we have to recognize we hiave to niake trade-offs" and "the lands are ALREADY zoned, ail we're trying to do is miake use of the lands. Ut us recognize the costs are rising about 12% a year," said the Mayor, and lie felt that if changes wcre not made, ail the people would "be driveri fromi the Town" excepting tie fortu- nate few who are making over $10,000 a year. He also congratulated Dr. Michael on "a fantastie presentation". rCqontinuedfrom Page i BRGADBENT ON TRAIE PAGT THE THIRD PUBLIC PLANNING diîan car prices which are -10% highier to the dealer. Mr. Broadbent feels that if some modification of the existing agreement is uiot pro- duced, there is a "real danger" it will jeopardize the good consequences of the pact. He suggests the remnoval of the 15% duty on new cars pur- chased in the U.S., and feels clause '1-B' (an equitable agreement) must be retained in revised regulations. We niust "take positive steps as soon as possible" adds Mr. Broad- bent, and "we have to get our share of production equiva- lent to consumption . . . if consumption goes up, SO does production." The Executive Comrnittee of the Oshawa District Miles for Millions lias announced that the walk for thiis year hias been cancelled due primiarily to the Oshawa Summier Gaines and1 the Whitby Swinî Pool campa igii. The executive are propos- ing that aIl possible help be given to thlese two major pro-, jects thiis year and anticipate that tie regular walk wiIl be resumed in 1974. One of the major regrets is that the extensive support thiat hias been given to the overseas work of mnany organ- izat ions through the efforts of the thousands of Oshawa dis- trict walkers will nhot be con- tinued this year which wili rnake their task even more difficult. These miatters were very thoroughly considered by the- executive conmittee and uhe decision to forego the 1973 carnpaign was no( easily reached. The Annual Miles for Mil- lions Walk has becorne a fami- iliar sight on the first Satur- day of May. Many thousands of walkers have gone as far as 32 miles in their interest in this worthwhile international service. The commit tee leadeui- ship lias been a major effort ecd year as every possible detail was planned in rnany long meetings beginning months before each walk. An unusual aspect each year hias been that the final turning in of allnîoney re- ceived from sponsors has sometimes not been corn- pleted until the next walk is due. Any sponsor nioney still outstanding should be mailed to Post Office Box 250 Osha- wa, or turned into the Royal Bank, Simcoe Street North in Oshawa or the YMCA office in. Whithy. Cheques are pay- able to "Miles for Millions". It is expected that shortly * WHITBY FREE PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1973, PAGE 3 announcements will be made for Millions for the Oshawa concerninig the support by Summi-er Garnes and for the different organizations for- new Whitby Swim Pool Cain- merly associated with Miles paign. In closing Mr. Broadbeni said "In miy view it is imnpor- tant to take the above men- tioned positive steps as soon as possible. They are fuily consistçnt with Canadian in- terests, both fromn the con- surner's and the autoworker's perspectives. If agreemnent were reached along the hunes indicated by the executive branches of the Canadian and U.S. Governm-ents I believe that it is unlikely that con- tiflUalce of the Automotive Agreemnent wili be opposed by either the United States Senate, Finance Comm-ittec. or the House of Representa- tives Ways and Means Corn- mittee.
