Photo by Mark Reesor, Whitby Free Press Concerns over- condo plan FROM PAGE 1 Fox's frustration. «We asked you (Tessler), te come back and explain the financing and the groupe we're dealing with and Pm not hearing that,» said Batten. "We've dealt with this ail along as Sonterlan, and now we hear there might be three or four groups on one site plan. «That will bastardize the site plan and I don't want that.» .Batten said that ever since the original proposaI (five buildings consisting of 329 units, at a height o)f eiht stories) camne before council, last y ear, it has been dealt with on tJhe basis that ah un!tî_wouId be market value houssnr agreed that was the initial intention, but economic conditions have- forced a change Mi plans. «Even though the market price has »fallen I can't -say'I can delivr aI of themi as con- dominiums,» said Tessler. Although he shared hie col- leagues' sentiments, councillor Joe Drumm said the intended use of the units is not the issue. «Tenancy is not . aur problein, we're dealin~g solely with the site plan,» said Drunim. 'Toexanc has nothing to do with the Planning Act.» 1Steve Edwards of the Town's planning department agreed with Drumm. Edwards said that while a le 1 opinion may shed more liiton the matter, the provin- cial Planningr Act would not allow councl ' to contrai the tenure of the project. But Fox remained unconvin- * ced. "I get the feeling we're trying te close Pandora's Box afteri t's opened,» siud Fox. "I have ko confidence.whatsoe- ver'that what's being presented here tonight is what the people ini this town will end up with.»- Following the meeting, Fox stressed that he doesnot object to including subsidized housing i the development. Rather, -it is the manner in which it came about, Foxsaid. He said council approved the project with the understanding that it would be condominium apartinents under the control of a single developer. «Now 'wè're hearing that a nume ofgroùps àare' involved said Fox. "Before I agree te somethin,ýI want te know the* people Inm dealinu with.» 60 IAYSO CAR- A£Fi-i: E MNHYPYET * RLLEMlED STORAE PROPAC CONTAINER SERVIE ELECTRONICS HANDUING SPECIAUSTS ~ Moving Systems Bus: Oshawa (41'6)'728-1603 * SKMEABOU .9%.II*RITAGE - AI Quite a number ai my listings are selling really quickly and NOW there seems to be a demand for Whitby homes in, the $1 75, 000 to $2 15, 000 price range.
