DMA approval of the draft plan had been one of the main areas of difference between Council and Mr. Kerr in the negotiations for the Village approval. Council's position had been that the DMA should ap- prove the 'plan before the Village could enter into any written agreement. Mr. Kerr maintaned that the DMA would not approve the plan until written agreement 'between Council and himself had been established. Before = the signing, changes were made in the draft plan, as recommended by 'Totten, Sims, Hubicki Ltd., consultants for the Village.

Axknowl : 7 ""water supply in'Port 'Perry Volumne 106 ~ Port Perry, Ontario, Wednesday, November 24, 1971 -- No. 5 If the Village of Port Perry is to have even a minimum amount of residential and light industrial growth, at feast one and preferably two i new--wells--are needed to augment the existing water . supply. This = conclusion was > reached at meeting of "Council and Planning Board held November 18. Representatives from the Ontario Water. Resources Commission' and the Department of Municipal Affairs also - attended the meeting. The purpose was to discuss residential and in- dustrial expansion in Port Perry, with regards to the availability of water. Reeve Robert Kenny opened the meeting by asking what the. DMA assessment of the 'situation - is. Mr. Les Fincham, area planner forthe DMA replied that his department is aware of "seven pending 'sub- division sites in Port Perry - area which would represent 300. new residential. -unitsa Mr. Fincham added that his isthatthe present. can only 'accommodate ' 50° new residential units, He said this figure is based on a study by the Ontario Water Resources Commission. Mr. Art Leitch, OWRC representative said that the figure of 50 new units is based on calculations by the Commission taking into consideration the existing water: supply, and the average daily" usage. Mr. Kenny asked whether these calculations were recent, since the user on the water system has gone out of business. (Chalet Farms). Mr. Leitch replied that the calculations were not that recent, but he doubted that this would alter the well capability anyway. Mr. Leitch went.on to say that the figure 'of 50 new residential units the present system could accommodate is over and ahove some 75 scattered lots throughout the Village which could be serviced by the system. In view of the water shortage, Mr. Fincham of the DMA suggested that Council will have to decide which lots should "'go'"' at this time, and which sub- division sites can be ac- commodated. It is not only the water system that-is a factor in the growth of Port Perry," Mr. Fincham continued, "but the concept of the Toronto Centred Region as well." He said that a task force study on the Toronto Centred largest - -allow ® Present Water supply inadequate for industrial - residential growth Region indicates Port Perry as a growth area, but not by a population increase of 42 percent at one time. (Port Perry population would increase by this percentage if the 300 sub-division units came into existance.) When asked just what has been proposed for the Village with regards to populations growth, Mr. Fincham said the concepts are still very general, and firm data would (continued on page 7) Gas service for Village The village of Port Perry and Consumers' Gas Company have reached a written agreement that will the company to provide gas service to homes and business in Port Perry. The agreement says the company will distribute and sell natural gas, manufac: tured gas; any liquefied petroleum gas, and any mixture of these. Rates. for the service will be charged-and collected by the company, as fixed by the 'Ontario Energy Board. ". It is expected that the company will "start con- struction on service lines in the spring of next year. 'No, it's not play money. It's a real honest-to-goodness Canadian $10 bill. The new issue, which has come into circulation in the last couple of weeks has Canada's first Prime Minister John A. Macdonald in place of Queen Elizabeth. It's about time Macdonald's face appeared on Canadian money, for he was the man most responsible for the creation of Canadian Confederation.
