4 The Canadian Statesman, Býwmanville, May 23, 1979 Section Two Hospital Auxiliary Holds Annual Tag Day Town Duelays Plan for Architectural Control Implementation of some type of architectural controls for new subdivisions was delayed again May 14 at the town's planning committee. Planning director Don Smith was askedpreviously to take into consideration concerns raised by developers and builders at a prior meeting over the committee's proposai to form an architec- tural control committee and bring back a report and recommendation. The committee of four would produce a set of standards to control the aesthetics of development in a particular subdivision. No building permit would be issued until plans and eleva- tions were approved by the committee. Builders and, developers argue that establishment of such a committee would result in construction delays due to added processing time, addi- tional costs to the builder which could ultimately be reflected in the price of the house and additional workload for town staff. Aesthetics are very subjective, they point out, and impossible to rule on. In hîs recommendation to the committee, Smith rejected the idea of forming a commit- tee and suggested a limited form of architectural control be included in the subdivision agreements. This way, the onus for controlling the design of buildings is placed on the subdivider. The section could include provision that prior to apply- ing for a building permit, each builder must file a master plan showing housing types, elevations and distribution of models with the town. These plans would not require approval but would be sub- mitted for information. Smith said this method of control could be tried by> the town for awhile and if it thinks the developers are not living up to their responsibilities "the town would be free- to come back and beef up that section. This is a first try that we can build on. It if doesn't work we can get tougher." Councillor Jasper Holliday said, "I'm not very enthusiastic about this recom- mendation. It's not really going to do much for us." Holliday said he favored establishement of an architec- tural control committee composed of three members and under the direction of a control architect. Rather than impose restrictive measures, the committee would review plans, layouts, elevations, color schemes and architec- tural styles. It would comment on these and try to give the developer and builder some direction. Smith pointed out that this would be putting a heavy onus on the design architect. There would have to be some- guidelines so the applicant knows what the basic require- ments are, he argued. Holliday 's motion to table the director's recommenda- tion and discuss alternative proposals at the next commit- tee meeting in June was passed by the committee.

That will be the last full sized quilt for awhile although Mrs. Darke will go on making and quilting small crib quilts. Ladies are busy out of doors gardening, cutting grass or just plain bîrdwatch- ing. There are many to watch with flocks of bob-o-links making a joyful noise. Whether there is segregation of male and female as they travel north I do not know but there seem to be many maies in evidence with no females.

In the woods where the only sound against mhe background of the frog orchestra in the pond, is that of birds, it is easy to distinguish jays, robins, red wings, crested flycatcher, brown thrasher, catbird and many other inciuding the warblers. Ciff swallows are back earlier than usal, inspecting what is lef t of last year's housing. Most of the geese have gone, many flocks taking to the airways at the same time.
