Responding to a request from developer, developer, Halftiinen Homes, to change the word shall to may in one clause of the policy, council voted this week to leave it as written. Devon Biddle, a consulting engineer engineer and representative of Halmi- nen Homes, recommended that the section dealing with parkland acquisition acquisition be amended to read "Council "Council may encourage the acquisition of ... valleylands," rather than "Council shall encourage the acquisition of ... valleylands." "The word shall suggests that this policy would implore future councils to acquire land without consideration consideration for private ownership," Mr. Biddle Biddle told council at Monday's meeting. While agreeing that valleyland abutting single dwellings would be better owned by the Town, it is the land surrounding multiple housing sites, such as the one Halminen Homes is building in Courtice, that is in question. "Ownership could be maintained by a private corporation as specific to residents of the development," said Mr. Biddle. Another positive aspect of private ownership is the greater incentive to keep the land clean and kept up, according according to Mr. Biddle. Planning Director Terry Edwards thinks that encourage is the "opportune" "opportune" word. "There may be times when the town is not interested, (in acquiring valleylands), valleylands), but the word shall clearly indicates indicates to developers that the Town is interested in valleylands.

Mr. Edwards didn't seem to think that the developer developer wanted to establish a walkway walkway to join the two lands, as required by the Town. Mr. Biddle assured the council that Halminen Homes would put in a walkway. While the word shall will remain in the policy, the planning department will continue to look at each individual individual request for ownership of valleylands, valleylands, keeping in mind solutions that are in the public's best interest, according to Mr. Edwards. wmm FREE TOP SOIL - The Board of Directors of the Memorial Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville, would like to offer the public, which has so strongly supported the expansion expansion drive, an opportunity to obtain top soil from the hospital.
