Twelvetrees, P.Eng. Commissioner of Works Regional Municipality of Durham Council gives the nod to Brooks Farm project Development plans for Brooks Farm subdivision, at the north end of Port Perry, received a shot in the arm Monday when council agreed to support an application for an Offical Plan ammendment at the Region of Durham. Developers Mark Attar and Bob Ivany were in front of council to bring them up-to-date with new information they have obtained in regards to the capacity of the ground to receive sewage from the 119 homes which will be on sep- tic systems when the project is completed. The latest information indicates that the ground can accommodate the proposed number of homes, but that over a long period of time it is possible that there could be some scepage into the well of homeowners along Highland Beach. Mr. Ivany told council there are two ways to contend with this problem, which is very unlikely for 15 to 20 years. The first is to develop about 5 test wells near the Highland Beach homes which would be monitored every six months to a year. Preferably, Mr. Ivany told coun- cil, the developers would be will- ing to provide municipal water to the property owners along High- land Beach, by extending the water lines when they are being installed in the new subdivision. Council members were in agree- ment that extending the water to Highland Beach would be the best alternative, and support that con- cept over monitoring wells. "lI would think that the availa- bility of municipal water should increase the value of the properties in Highland Beach", commented Mayor Taylor. Although the developers will pay for the extension of the water line to the Beach, cost of hooking up the system to the homes would be left to the property owners. These costs could range between $1,000 to $1,500. per home. There was some concern that landowners in the areca might not DURHAM SHOES OPEN DAILY to 5:30 PM FRIDAY to 9 PM Ladies' & Men's .. $ . or less!

In fact, if they never experience any problems with their wells, they may never have to hook into the water system, Councillors McLaughlin and Christie both favoured the subdi- vision being put on sewers, but it was explained that the present se- were system has not the capacity to include this proposal. Councillor Malcolm explained that the present system is at about 80% of its capacity now. "A new sewage treatment plant won't even help the situation, because the problem here is the maximum ca- pacity that can be dumped into the Nonquon River," he said. Mr. Attar also explained that if they could put. the subdivision onto a sewer system, they would have to have about four-times the number of homes on the property to pay for their installation. Council passed three motions in regards to the Brooks subdivision; to have the water lines extended to the end of Highland Beach; to stop, close and convey Coulter Street and to recommend support for an Official Plan ammendment. The developers are hoping that the 119 lot subdivision can get the necessary approvals and that they can get underway by late Spring of next year. oF PORT PERRY FEEDS 40 VANEDWARD DRIVE 985-7363 Y SHURGAIN BIRD SEED 18 ke.
