Planning department says there is no predominant style for the tow n's storefront develop- ment,. to which the term "ivarie ty" was applieclas the best general description of town ar- chitecture. .Linda Buffett suggested that thc secondary plan make a policy statement on what would be the preferred architecture., Planner Paul Rycroft said the intent of the plan was actually to keep themes, "'Victorian, Georgian or whatever; " block by block rallier than for the town as a whole. "lWe would be very concerned if a Victorian "theme,'- -for* example,, was applied to development throughout thc core as this style only predominates'in certain areas," it is stated in the planning report on the secondary plan. "IAil I sec ini Whitby are shoeboxes," said Peter Heinrich Of Coîborne St., arguing that Whitby had no "direction" as to theme of design. Vides ®World HOME ENTERTAIMMENT CENTRE 165 DUNDAS ST.
