PORT PERRY STAR Yuesday, Decembier 5, 1989 -- 11' Councillors split over second road to Ridgeland Scugog Township- council appears to be split right down the middle over whether a new road should be built into the Oak Hills residential and golf course development in the southwest corner of Scugog. For the second meeting in as many weeks, the contentious "second road" was the topic of discussion among councillors Monday afternoon. Those councillors who in- sist that a second road be con- styucted if the developers want to proceed with 23. new estate lots include Don Cochrane, Yvonne Christie and Glen Mal- colm. Councillors Marilyn Pearce and Allen Goreski indicated during Monday's discussion they see no need to demand the developer to construct the road, and Mayor Howard Hall agreed with their statements. - Ward 1 councillor Neil Hunter didn't tip his hat one way or another on Monday. The Oak Hills development of some 50 estate lots and a nine hole golf course is served by one acccess from the Ashburn Road. The company wants to de- velop a further 23 lots plus an- other nine holes for the: golf course. Both these phases are al- ready approved, but council can insist on the new road (along the un-opened allowance be- tween Conc. 2 and 3) in the new subdivision agreement. "For the safety and conven- ience of the ratepayers and any future property owners, that (new) road must be built," de- dlaredgouncillor Cochrane. * He called the developers wish not to include the second road is "cutting corners," and he daid building the road will not be "any great hardship to the developer." "I will not be supporting anything without that second access," he said. It is not known exactly how much it might cost to push a new road from the development to connect with the Ashburn Road, but estimates of up to $1 million have been suggested.

A consultants study indi- cates that a second road is not needed to handle traffic vol- umes generated by either the new homes or the golf course. The whole issue over this second road could end up in front of the Ontario Municipal Board or an Environmental As- sessment hearing. Township administrator Earl Cuddie told council Mon- day that if the road issue goes to the OMB, the Township had better be prepared for a costly hearing. Meanwhile, in other mat- ters related to the Oak Hills de- velopment, council voted unani- mously Monday afternoon against a suggestion for up to 40 lhixury condo units, instead of the proposed expansion of 23 es- tate lots for single family homes. And council re-affirmed its position that construction of nine new golf holes can proceed if the developer a 8 to up- grade sections of the Ashburn Road. The sticky wicket still re- maining is the 23 new estate lots and the requirement for that new road. ... is at the new, 5 Points Mav the spirit of ... enclosed Lots of gift ideas at the * CRAFT & BAKE SALE * New - North Oshawa Daycare Byng Avenue Childcare Centre * Information Oshawa 1990 Transformation Seminar Tickets Join us at the mall on December 9th for - COMMUNITY DAY UPCOMING Ma LL E DECEMBER 151, VENTS Polkaroo ang ¢j ind Doo-Doo the Clown DECEMBER Gold's Gym ~otn Children's FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING CONVENIENCE ~ 5 POINTS MALL is OPEN Monday to Saturday 9:30 AM to 9:30 PM VISIT SANTA DAILY 2 to 4:30 PM and 6 to 8:30 PM "Move to 7) (for cancer) the Beat Author, Mr. Green, wn ee m-- LANDAWN IL SHOPPING CENTRES 285 Taunton Rd.E., Oshawa 436-1333 mtd AP # SHOPPERS
