It lias always been a prictity of mine to preserve and protect the individual property rights of a homeowner. There are occasions, however, where someone's use of a property adversely affects a neiglibour or a neigiibourhood. Obviously, thon, we have to balance the ndiv#idual's -rights versus those of the. larger populatiaiL 8.Do ySu ieltatdesign emurl. heuld be impinoetl lumare nselu umrotintv censtruction vithin uditing dvinleped aa enfermalute indigbuldioga r dojyS fe that ceatrola praM* nluPheu he inemdal pla amsi anby4av ae adeqeta Exstng deign controls appearto;be workung quite well.

This structure is a major factor in the. unique ambience of centre ward and the. Town of Whitby. I understand that Mayor Attersley has collected substantial donations for this project froi tih. developers withi tiie community. Hopefully tiiese donations, plus a grant from tiie province of Ontario, will. create only a minimal tax impact on- the. Whitby citizens towards making tuis project a reality. 13.
