Houlsing plan deferred itby Free Press, Wednesday, September 13,1995, Page 27 --aglain By Miko Kowaki A tiny liousing development proposed for soutli Whitby lias been deferred for yet another look by Town officiais. Despite a warning that the matter may wind up at the Ontario Municipal Board, applications to develop the Garden Street site were tabled by Town council'a, planning.- and' development committee last week. Aithougli just 25 homes comprise the proposai, the location lias prompted dloser scrutiny than wvhat would normally occur if the site was somewhere else in town. A few councillors, most notably commiittee chair Marcel Brunelle, feel the property should be occupied by a more esthetically pleasing development." On July 10, council sent rezoning and officiai plan amendment applications fm 639373 Ontario Ltd. back to the planning- department. The numbered company was seeking to build 23 to 25 street townhouses on the 4.4-acre vacant lot on the nortlieast corner of Garden Street and Consumers Drive. (Athougli the wooded ravine lot lias fioodplain and hazard land designations, a staff report notes that the property is now outaide the regional storm floodplain due to downstream improvements to nearby Pringle Creekc.) Council, instead, directed staff to meet with the, applicant to discuss a low density development rather than medium density. But even with the proposai changing from townhouses to single detached homes, it was not enougli te satisfy Brunelle's vision of the right development for a "gateway" into Whitby. "I stili think there -are other building forms that wouid compflement the site. I have a problem with continuing row housing ail the way down," said Brunelle "Wliat hasn't been looked at are opportunities for a commercial building or apartment building, something that lias some design," hèe said, suggesting staff review the matter. But coundillor Joe Drumm argued against delaying the matter further. Drunm, in fact, felt the previous propoai was superior te the new onie whicli cails for 25 units with lot frontages varying ini size from 30 to 60 feet. "InI my Opinion, this is not better than the original witli the tewnhouse block," said Drumnm. "Coundil would rather have that then look at 30-foot singles," lie insisted, while adding that anytbing other than'liousing would be wrong. Coundillor Don Mitchell agreed that the first proposai was preferrable, but lihe expressed concern about the property being located in a "heavy traffic area." Two Whitby youths' were arrested after residents- spotted two people breaking into cars in the Thickson Road North/Driyden Boulevard area. Upon arriving at Fieldnest Crescent, officers noticed two people walking along the street around 1:50 a.m., Tuesday, Sept. 5. One of the youths, who are bath If single-family horaes were approved, fencing would have to be built te act as a noise and privacy buffer and "that dosen't do anything for me," Mitchell admitted. "I think some high density liousing would preclude wooden fencing on the corner," he said. Whule Brunelle said hie je hot "hung Up" on comnmercial development, lie wanted Town planners te, explore ail options. However, staff may not have that option. Planning consultaat Paul Rycroft, representing the developer, told conmuttee that whule lie appreciated their concerns, his client is growing impatient. Rycroft pointed out that the firet development proposai came' forward in 1988 ana several alternatives have been examined. "Our interest is te do soxnething that's narketable and a four-storey residential development is not marketable," lie said. "Wliat we've proposed is marketable today and to go off and young offenders and cannot be identified, had a fiashlight which turned out to be stelen fronx one of the cars. A 17-year-old Glen -H11 Drive teen was chiarge&~ with theft under and prowl at niglit. A femnale accompanying him was charged with theft under in relation toaa break-in at lier parents' home. chase down somne other land use is contry to what council decided in July." Althougli le did not mention an Ontario Municipal Board appeal specifically, Rycroft left no doubt in the committee's mincis. "We're ail aware of the system and there comes a time when your patience runs out," lie said. "If you want to look at it again, fine, but you should make a decision so we can ail get on with aur lives." Brunelle, in kinci, told Rycroft lie appreciated the developer's position. "In most cases council is aware of marketing, but there are times wlien there are considerations Narcotic charges are laid Two Oshawa men were arrested after police searched their van, which was parked on Tricont Avenue in the Thickson Road and Wentworth Street area, and discovered drugs. Officers patrolling the industrial area noticeci the van Thuraday around 10:30 p.m. Upon approaching they smeiled a narcotic and arrested* the two occupants. The 30-year-old driver was searched and officers found four five-grani vials of hashish oïl. He and a 38-year-old passenger were cliarged witli possession of a narcotic. other than marketing," said Brunelle. "It's3 how you build your community and this is what the cornnittee às grappling with," he said. "I think we owe it to this community to explore other options and if it's fot workable then we can deal with it."
