LYNDESHORESPLAN Changes urged after inspection By Debbie Luchuk Whitby administrative com- mittee voted Monday night to have Town planning staff look into moving the zone for future housing development further north within the Lynde Shores secondary plan. Councillors Joe Drumm, Ross Batten and Gerry Emm walked the area with Joan Gates (president of OPSEU local 331, Whitby Psychiatric Hospital employees), and Dr. Margaret Bain, two of those opposed to the proposed development plan. After walking through the area, councillors say they were convinced that development of the area would be a mistake, according to councillor Drumm. "We decided we didn't like the density in the south end, the closeness of the ring road to the water, nor the local commercial designation in that area. We think all of these should be moved back from the lake," Drumm said. Councillor Gerry Emm, com- mittee chairman, said, "Pm pleased that the committee saw fit to look at the site. We were suddenly convinced that it would have been a mistake if that development had gone through without seeing it." Planning director Bob Short Park patrols to inform owners about'stoop and scoop' bylaw Staff of the Pickering, Ajax, Whitby Animal Control Centre (PAW) will begin a summertime program of early morning park patrols, says Carole Lang, animal control and pound manager. The purpose of the patrols is to educate pet owners using community parks about the "stoop and scoop" bylaws in force in the municipalities of Ajax, Pickering and Whitby. Members of the public walking their pets in community parks are reminded to "stoop and scoop." If a pet is allowed to soil a community park, the owner is not only guilty of contravening a municipal bylaw, but also creating a health hazard for park users and making the park an unpleasant place to visit, says Lang. The patrols will be conducted throughout the summer months. said that the planning depart- ment has taken the comments from the councillors' deputation into consideration, and have also been in contact with CLOCA with respect to environmental impact. The department will work with the consultant to prepare an environmental impact statement, he added. Short will report on these findings to the committee in the near future. The - Lynde Shores Secondary Plan has proposed residential use for the hospital lands in the area, of low to high density, with parkland designations, local commercial and educational. Residents and others working in the area have expressed concerns that this "special" area will become just another sub- division, jam-packed with people, and that this could have serious effects on the environment. Councillors oppose Sunday shopping at Cullen Gardens By Debbie Luchuk Cullen Gardens' plans for their proposed "Prettiest Street in Ontario" under a tourist node designation were held up by Whitby administrative committee Monday night. The plan for the street, composed of historic homes, and to house museums, exhibits and craft shops, was presented by Cullen representative Kevin Tun- ney. Committee members opposed Temporary road is a hazard says resident A temporary road to allow construction traffic to enter a subdivision at the northeast corner of Rossland Rd. and Cochrane St. is creating a hazard to children in the area, according to an area resident. William Bonnetta said the road which enters off Cochrane St. has no sidewalks or boulev- ards. He asked that the Town have the developer re-route the trucks down a street with sidewalks. But committee members said that would not be solving the problem, just moving it around. "Child safety - I don't know how you deal with that. It is a problem all over town," said councillor Marcel Brunelle. He said the problem is that people moving into the subdi- vision first have moved into homes near access roads instead of moving into homes away from the roads. The public works department had recommended that the road be closed by Dec. 31 but committee members wanted to see it closed sooner. "Residents could put up with the dangers and nuisance for a reasonable period of time, but not until the end of the year," said Brunelle. Committee advised staff to contact the developer, R.D.F., and find out how soon the road could be closed. Committee will deal with the issue again in two weeks. îrxýsfc1e,» T gIMEOfYOUQLIE A S-pecial, for Seniors the tourist node designation if it meant that the buildings housing the shops would be open on Sundays. Councillor Ross Batten said the "Prettiest Street," if open on Sundays, might compete unfairly with similar businesses in Whitby and Brooklin. He said it should not be allowed to open Sundays. "If the street is closed on Sunday, then it will be the prettiest street," said councillor Gerry Emm. Tunney confirmed that Cullen intended to open the shops on Sunday with a tourist designation. However, he said he. would convey committee's con- cerns to Cullen regarding the Sunday shopping issue. Councillor Joe Drumm agreed with the other councillors. Batten further added that he would like to know what shops exactly would be in the project. A local resident, Pat McCloskey of RR.2 Whitby said, 'You've got to stop it now." There was some confusion as to whether the tourist designation would mean an endorsement of Sunday shopping at the site. Until the definition of "tourist designation" has been sorted out by planning staff, and it is known what exactly the shops will be selling, the committee will not make a decision to approve the tourist designation for the "Prettiest Street in Ontario." Once staff investigate these recommendations, the recom- mendation or amendments will be presented to committee. Sports results See pages 20-23 High school yearto end soon LSee page 26 4 4
