or two lots This was left without definite decision After much discussion quality control coukl not be decided on Reeve stated that there has been disappointment in the exterior appearance in the

there were difficulties in the past but added that quality control people had been hired to take care of this sort of thing Deputyreeve Don Matheson described the material used on the upper exteriors of the houses It lookslike pressed sawdust with a paper coating and wax finish mat will it be like in years time On being asked about other materials Mr Paulson told council that if brick and aluminum were used the cost Increases would be phenomenal and the houses maybe wouldnt sell Reeve Lang stated bluntly If youre prepared to build a home where the bottom halt is brick or stone and the top half aluminum I suspect council Is going to be a lot easier to deal with than If youre talking building with other sniff He added that council would not approve the draft plan until main points of subdivision agreement have been agreed upon and will not approve any number of lots until they know what type of house will be built Another meeting will be held March 1 with a revised draft plan
