WH1TY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY. JUNE- 27.1990. IPAGE 9 Owner seeks removal of hazard land designiation to permit development By Mike Kowald A developer wants a hazard land designation romoved from bis north Whitby proporty in order to build a sùMion on the site. JoehLamnbert i. seeking an amendmont te the Town's officiai gp a te permit a 135-unit sub- division on 20 acres of land south of Taunton Rd., west of Thickson Rd. N. .The site is currently designa- ted residential in the officiai plan but with a hazard lands designa- tion on the extreme south end of the site. The portion of the property with the hazard land designation is intended te b. kept in its natural state according te the plan. Planning consultant Julius De Ruyter, representing the develo- per, said at a public meeting last woek that the desiunation con- cerns a -ditch» running along the po rtr. veryinsignificant water course" saici De Ruyter. De kye said a teownhouse block was originally proposed for the bottom ttiree acres of the proert, but that will now be set aside for a school ' He said that with other hous- ing- developments being built nearby this is the only property left t ht can accommodate a school. "We're trying te get this sub- division caught uýp with the balance of them in the area. We'1l share the the school site with other developers," said De Ruyter. wxa expressed concern about the pos- sible effect from construction on nearby private wells. Comfmittee chairman Ross Bat- ton assured hier that Durham Region bas a compensation policy te cover wells that go dry due te development. De Ruyter added altering the water course will not affect wells. «It does not significantly con- tribute te the water supply,» said De Ruyter. James Priest of RR 2 Whitby asked about access onte Taunton Rd. from the subdivision. "I don't think there shoufd be any more development until Taunton Rd. is widened,» said Priest. Planning director Bob Short said the draft plan of subdivision does not indicate egress or in- gress (accesa roads) onto Taun- ton at this tume. «Obviouswly if there is te be access there has te, be traffic control,» said Short. Priest suggested that no action be taken on the application until the Town's current review of the officiai pýlan is completed. «W'd rather se. the hazard lande stay if wo had the choice," said Priest, who aloo asked if an STW( Wl]i Yo1 "It wasn't until that 1 realized ti to light a cari rubbing two stic actually hell stop taking fa the comforts envilonmiental assessment is- Tauied Batte said that will depend on the Centrai Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and the Ontario Ministry of Environ- ment.

"This is one of the most dangerous p laces for pedestrians te be involved with traffic in Whitbv..» said Brunelle. If council supports the commit- tee,, it will end a long battie between area residents and elec- ted officials from both levels of government. Three years ago Town council refused a request for a crossing qard, claimng it was too dange rous te have a* ard enter the middle of the roaf" The. Region>s works committee, meanwhile, claimed traffic was not high enough te justify lights. Brunelle said the exact loca- tion for the lights has not yet been determined. «There still has te be discus- sions with the school board and the Town,» said Brunelle.
