Gretchen Day's angry out- burst was sparked by Coun- cil's approval of an applica- tion for a plan of condo- minium for the Daniels Group. Day had repeatedly asked Council to defer deal- ing with the condominium application until her long- standing concerns with the developer were dealt with. Day argued that the Daniels Group has not ful- filled site plan conditions concerning a privacy fence, lighting shields and drainage from the Daniels land onto hers. She also insisted that construction of the develop- ment caused the foundation of her 120-year-old home to crack and sink, and argued that Daniels should have shored up her home before construction began.

It was standing room only in the Cultural Centre as at least 125 people jammed the gallery for the second meeting to get public input on plans to develop a piece of property that many call the 'Jewel of Georgetown,' a 54-acre triangular piece of land bounded by Guelph Street, Maple Avenue and Mountainview Road. Parallax Land Corporation now owns the property and its 18 INCH DIGITAL =e LIT proposed plans include 1,500 medium and 'high density housing units, commercial-retail space, public parkland and a fire station. Thursday's emotional and loud meeting was in sharp contrast to the first meeting a week before that featured quiet round table discussions. The consensus from that first meeting ¥ was not to include a school site in the plan. When the Separate Board got wind of that, it had its schools send notices home with students saying the school site might be in jeopardy and suggested that parents of the 450 Halton Hills students who are bussed to See CATHOLIC, Page 3 The | 'Disnep Channels Tos AnGeLes anfa.
