They're not taking into accouat the uniqueaess of each munici- plaity,» be said. Fox stressed that Wbitby's ojections are mot aimod at t h concept of bouse apartmants, but the need for local contrai aven the numben permitted in a cam- munity'. «'e n ot agaiast apartments in bouses, but bow ta regulate it," said Fox. I'Thero's a drain on the Town ... roads, sawers ... wben people are mot accounted for." Althaugh she did not commit harseif to making changes, Fax believes Ggantes wiil consider Wbitby's concerns. "It was a god talk actually, sha realizes th e policy~ needs ta be loeked at carefully,» said Fox. Brunelle however, had mixed feelings foliowing the meeting. "She was gracious, she asked probing questions and said she would Yook at our concerns," said Bruneile. "But if there was a down side it's that she believes most muni- cipalities don't wamt accessony apartments, that the bill is thare te frustrate tbem." Brunalle points out that unlike most Ontario commuaities, Witby bas incorporated the sub- jtofaccessary units into its officiaI plan. "We deait with it fainiy. We buiît inte the process contrai aven wbene aad when tbey go ia. Bill 90 will tske it away,» said Brunolle. Brunelle said people should bo given the "peace and security tbey want" when purcbasing a bouse in a residential area. He said people move into a neighbounbood expeting it ta consist of single-famiiy homes, "when ail of a suddem a persan buys a bouse and puts in apart- ments." This will lead ta parking and otber problems in an area net designed for anything but single- family homes, Brunelle said. "I understand what they're sayingîaboiut providing bousing, bt BIl 90 takes it (contrai) away from us and tbat's kind of scary," ha added. Anne-Marie McEirone, com- munications assistant ta Gigantas, said municipalities should not fear an explosion of bouse apartments if Bill 90 becomes I aw. Sha said the legisiation is net saiely intended ta increasa the supply of affordabie housing but ta ensune proper bealthý and safety standards are in p lace for those living in eitber ilegal qr If it's not a problem in Wbitby (now), tbey don't bave ta worry about the number incneasing napidly," said McElrome. She saîd Bill 90 will imprave a municipalitys power ta enfonce health and safety negulations, sometbing whicb can bo difficult te do at the best of times. A search warrant is now requrd ta enter a private home te ebtain evidence of violations, said McEinone. «Right new peeple bave ne whoro te go if tboy'ro in an iliegal apartment and theno's something's wrong," she said. Cenemonies will be held Friday to mark the "official" epening of Harvest Place, an apartment/ townbouse complex in Whitby. Harvest Place, at the north- west corner of Rossland Rd. and Brock St., consists of a 53-unit seniors' building and 32 family townbouses. Wbitby Christian Assembly formed a non-profit housing cor- toration in fa11 1989 to under- ake the projet. .In 1990,1the Ministry of Hous- ing approved funding for the complex, and planning got underway. Aften the project was approved in spring..1991, construction began andathe compiex was coin- pleted in July last year. Fuil funding of welfare PRMPAGE 1. Ia return for the province pick- ing up the full welfr ab, the ageement stipulates that muni- cîpalities will rolievo the pro- vinceocf somo of its financiai obligatiens. Abeut 2,200 km. of provincial highways will becomo the res- ponýsibility of the couatios and regions tbrough wbicb thoy rua. Provincial savings are estima- ted te be about $40 million annuaily as a resuit. In addition, municipalities will take contrai of property assess- ment services currently funded b the Ontario Ministry of Revenue. This measure represents a $135-million savings te the pro- -vince. As well, annual unconditional grants te municipalities will be reduced by $165 million next Jaauary te offset the province's increased welfare costs. Edwards said aIl of bis con- cerns about tho welifare portion of the agreement have been satisfied. He said there will be no change in the way social assis- tance is dolivered te recipients non will amy municipal emplo)yees lose their jobs since muaicipalities will continue to administer wolfare programs. As for the part of the agree- ment that transfers roads and assessment te municipalities, Edwards was not as certain. «I don't know what it will mean te Wbitby, we don't know what the costs are," he said. "We've some montha te, discuss this but rm told it will be a financial neutrali measune." Before AMO's board of direc- tons sigas the agreement, coies of the preposed package wil be sent te ail municipalities for comment and support. The agreement is phase o of a pnocess knew as "disentangle- ment" tbat seeks te stroam lime government operations. The province and municipali- tics now share respoasibility for more than 100 servcs oftea leading te costly ovrlp and duplication. Tree pruningq FROM PAGE 4 municipal parks will not be replaced, he adds. This prompted councillor Den- nis Fox to caîl for a staff report on the feasibility of a park tree replacement program. Te department bas given lots of tbought to a programn but the problem is council bas given us no money y t," said Mitchell. "That's why I asked for a report, to soe the costs,» said Fox, council's 1993 budget chair.
