They (the units) were and are'available to residents of Wh-itby," said Rogers. But under questioning from Drumm she said only eight of the investors are from Durhanm Region and she indicated the homes were only advertised on Toronto radio stations and not in local media, which would have given local residents an oppor- tunity to, invest. "Ail of us are sitting in our offices saying we stepped in it and we are apologizing," Graham Bird, vice-pre'sident of develop- ment for Perez, told committee. "This is one of our first opportunities to provide afford- able housing and we find most of the units have been pre-sold. That is what we are taking umbrage to," said councillor Ross Batten. But planning director Bob Short reminded committee -mem- bers that the applications should be based on planning matters, not on hiow the homes are finaficed. "If the matter was pursued beyond council it will be based on planning matters," said Short, Gordon Thompson, executive vice president of Perez, had threat- ened to go the Ontario Municipal Board if the application was refused by Whitby council. Batten then noted that "as far as planning, we as a committee have no step but to approve." Drumm, maintained his oppo- sition to, the application, saying that councillors have only seen a townhouse plan for the area. "There may be better use for that land," contended Drumm. Thompson said Perez has built more than 10,000 units. Last week Thompson helped to unveil the' "affordable home" at this year's Home Show in Toronto. "If affordable housing is an issue, we think we are addressing the situation" said Thompson. After the meeting, Thompson said it will take one and a half months before construction starts with eikht months for completion. There...i11l11- 227tonus Precious Plates N' Things bearing her photograph of Free Preos photo Plates feature JVitby architecture By Debbie Luchuk A series of limited edition plates is being created by a Wihitby plate merchant with local scenes featured on each one. The first one will be a picture plate of the Whitby Station at Henry and Victoria Sts. Pat Schleiffer, owner of Precious Plates (Whitby Lanes), was approached by the -plate manufacturer Schneider Enterprises to see if there was interest in a series of plates with Whitby architectural subjects. The company sent out a photographer to take the photo for of the'Station Gallery, and the resultant photos were substandard, according to Schleiffer. She told the company I can take better pictures than that," and proceeded to do se, taking not only a picture of the station, but twomore of Trafalgar Castle School and of the Centennigl building. Photography has been a hobby of Schleiffer's "since the high school photography club," and she fuzrther developed her sills through teacing as a geography teacher at Dunbarton H-igh School (taking pictures of various locations for her class). There are only 500 plates of the "Whitby Station" and already 100 have been sold, including one for each member of the visiting Coquitlam Adanacs lacrosse team (in town for the Mann Oup) purchased by Mayor Attersley. More are on order, and Schleiff'er plans at least two more plates in a series on Whitby landmarks. The topoo of the Centennial building and. Trafalgar Castie areo islyin her store, and she.said that these are probably the images that will be recreated on the next plates in the series. Open for three years, Schleiffer's-Precious Plates is the only plate dealer authorized by the Bradford Exchange to selI the various series of plates featured. in, the store. The store aise features other collectibles such as Pan Dolfin figurines, Precious Moments figurines and dolîs. Plate collectors can aise join a plate club organized out of the store.
