PAGE 2, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10. 1985, WVlITBY FREE PRESS Port's future tiieme of public meetmg The future develop- ment of Port Whitby will be the theme of a public meeting to be held next Monday night by Whitby Town Counil's ad- ministrative commit- tee. According to Centre Ward Councillor Marcel Brunelle, whose ward includes the Port, the area will soon becomne ripe for development because the Region of Durham has finally completed the Corbett Creek Pringle Creek Diversion Sewer. That $2.1 million project will not only solve the main flooding and sewer backflow problems that Port, whieh is the oldest part of Whitby, has been plagued with for many years but wiIl allow developmeflt.

"The ides is to put Port Whitby in a position for that kind of developmnent,"1 he says adding that the major topic on Monday night's Brunelle agenda will be four new zoning bylaws gover- ning the Port. These bylaws wilI eliminate most in- dustrial and apartment use zoning designations, will provide for open space and hazard lands, will promote harbor- related industrial development and allow for residential development. Brunelle also says that the town is also anxious to encourage the demolision of the old McNamara Marine sight and the Texaco Canada gas storage tanks at thse bottom of Brock St. S. Both of these properties were to be part of an apartment- condominiuin-hotel co- mplex proposed by Kesmark Developmen- ts. However, Kesmark was taken over by another company plans, which rested on the completion of the sewer, were put on the back burner. "IWe have somne high hopes for Port WhitbY," Brunelle said. -We're trying to attract some really good develop- ment for the area. " Brunelle said that Monday's meeting will be the resuit of final provincial government approval of the town prepared secondary plan for the Port which was completed in 1982. While that plan allowed for most of the changes that will be discussed but couldn't proceed without the completion of the sewer project. The centre ward councillor also points out the extension of the GO Transit commuter rail service to Whitby will make the Port à highly desirable residential area because of its proximity In preparation for the anticipated develop- ment of Port Whitby, the town has already spent some $1.5 million in provincial and federal goverament grants to improve roads and parks in the Duf- ferin St. area . .When settled in the early part of the l9th century, Port Whitby was developed as the major harbor between Toronto and Kingston. It was a vital tran- sporation link for the lumber and farming in- dustries in this part of Ontario. However, thse area declined when rail tran- sporation became both more efficient and inex- pensive. The only major sewer related project left in the Port is the construc- tion of the new Harbor St. pumping station which will be completed sometime next year. Town buys new car for WFD cil will replace the deputy fire chief's 1980 station wagon with a 1985 vehicle in the near future. According ta treasurer AI Claringbold, 12 local car dealers were invited to tender on the vehicle, however, only four responded. On those that did, one bld was it offered did not meet the fire department's specifications. The department will buy the vehicle from Nurse Chev-Olds of Dundas St. E., Whitby for $9,134.56, including trade-in allowance. The town's 1985 budget provided $10,O0 to buy the car. $100 given to disaster fund will donate $100 to the Chatham-Kent Flood Disaster Committee. The City of Chatham and the surrounding areas of Kent County were seriously affected 0 U GPRLE0 W IÇi:IDue' Io ur hîu' u'erhea(l ive ps the satings onîloyou!

The provincial gover. nment declared it a disaster area on March 20. In a letter to council, disaster committee chairman Frank Letournesu said that hundreds of homes and thousands of acres of farmland were affected. The ares, he added, "experienced substan- tial losses which are still being assessed."' In his report to coun- cil, clerk Don MacKay noted that it is the town's policy to make a donation of $100 to provincially recognize disaster relief funds.
