RR 3, Bow- "ed DEPART IAB INT STOR PARKING lane way (Bons) OTHER PROPOSED mVEACIPAL PARK PLAZA AND APARTMENT VILLAGE PLANNED FOR OSHAWA CREE PAGE NINE To Cost Of Paving Job Granular base road treat: ment and installation of curb and gutter on about 400 feet of Banting avenue was described by an Oshawa councillor Mon- day night as "putting golden pavement in a city block be- cause the residents petition". "This is far too good a base with expensive curb and gutter," said Ald. Walter Lane. "We neet a method of laying down a cheaper street, one the people can pay off in two or three years," The bylaw, as approved later in' council, quoted a price of $14,809 for local improvements by petition. Local improvement costs are shared, on a per foot frontage basis, by affected homeowners. Ald. Hayward Murdoch started it off by objecting to the '"'cost factor" (he quoted $9100) for 17 homeowners. A city engineer, Keith Kearns, said there were 13 homeowners. "We are going overboard," claimed Ald. Murdoch; "the cost factor is too high". Replied Ald. Finley Dafoe: "These people are just as en- titled to have curb and gutter and other improvements as newer areas." Objected Ald. Lane: 'We have 80 miles of streets just like Banting avenue in the city. We need a solution. We need cheap- er streets. Why, if all the peo- ple on these streets petitioned for these improvements, we could never satisfy them." He agreed with Ald, Dafoe's that road scraping followed by Dix-seal treatment would be adequate. "It would i probably last for 10-15 years," he guessed. RUSSIAN CLERGY ADDRESS GATHERING IN OSHAWA Russian Baptist Church of- ficials Monday night took time out from a cross country tour | of Canada, arranged under the auspices of the Baptist Fed- eration of Canada, to speak to members of, the three Oshawa Baptist Congregations. Rev. Jacob Zhidkov, second from with | | | | Planning Board was asked to consider rezoning Park road south from Pine to Elmgrove by city council monday night, on the successful motion of Ald. E. F. Bastedo. The board had recommend- ed no zoning change at 86 Park road south, the home of chiropractor Harold Brownlee, because "the matter has been thoroughly investigated by the planning board on two previous occasions and the board sees no need to recommend any change in the present zoning." Ald. Bastedo argued that the wording of the board's recom- mendation indicated that the possibility of rezoning the single property had been con- sidered by the board. Actually, this will be the fourth time the planning board has discussed different aspects of the 'Brownlee matter". DEMAND ASSURANCE Last night, Ald. Finley Da- foe asked council to approve the planning board's recommenda- tion but, at the same demanded councils that Mr. Brownlee would not be prosecuted until the board has made a study of zoning on arterial streets and brought in revisions which, he thought, would be favorable to Mr, Brownlee, "There assumption," Dyer, (A writ has been issued seek- ing an injunction ot prevent Mr. Brownlee using his prem- ises as a chiropractor's office.) Otherwise, Ald. Dafoe said, he would withdraw his motion. Mayor Christine Thomas said this assurance could not be given by council. Ald. Dafoe withdrew his motion. Mr. Brownlee has claimed that last year, at a meeting Former Mayor Lyman assurance this Ald. is no room for answered city | only| time, | "city's traffic study. Gifford, City Solicitor E. G, Mc- Neely, a planning official and a member of the engineering staff, he was told nothing would probably happen if he set up a practice in his home -- unless there was a complaint from a neighborhood resident. OBTAINED SIGNATURES He claims this is impossible because he has obtained signa- tures on his rezoning petitions from all residents in his im. mediate area on Park road south, Says Ald. Dyer: "If anyone contravenes a zoning bylaw, it get action." In January of this year Brownlee asked counci amend the zoning bylaw to per- | mit chiropractic and other pro- fessional clinics in R3 zones. Planning Board recommended no change. Council agreed unan- imously, on a recorded vote. Mr. to In March, Mr. Brownlee re- {peated his request. Planning board noted council's earlier {decision and saw 'no reason to change". Again council agreed. TWO PETITIONS Earlier this month, Mr. | Brownlee submitted two peti- tions signed by area residents: one asking that he be allowed to practice in an R3 zone; the other asked council to rezone the west side of Park road south from Pine to Elmgrove. Last Thursday, on the motion of Ald. John Dyer, the board recommended no changes in zoning be made. At this meet- ing, Norman Millman withdrew a motion which suggested that the rezoning application await the receipt of recommenda- tions to be made by traffic con- sultants who are busy analyzing information gathered for the should not take a complaint to!
