development would be modelled after retirement com mumtles found in Florida The pro ject includes bungalow type con dominiums a golf course lawn bowling greens and a recreation centre and would take to years to complete The recreation part of the pro ject is what sells the homes said Mr Rice We are appealing to ac tive retirees he added Only Councillor Dick Pallett expressed real support for the project saying The calls Ive received have been positive and the people look forward to helping to implement it the project he told Mr Rice Caledon Coun John Alexander suggested a development in which only retirees have access is a form of discrimination Mr Rice agreed in principle with the councillor s comment but explained that cer tain developments are designed to meet certain needs Coun Cowieson called a community with only one age group as a form of ghettoization The coumcllor challenged Mr Rice to disprove her claim in the face of extensive research proving her point Mr Rice said he would provide her with proof and added that peo ple attracted to this type of com munity would be active and com minded Caledon Mayor Emil ex pressed concern that if the pro vince made caring for the elderly a municipal responsibility sometime in the future the proposed high concentration of seniors could break the bank But Mr Rice said seniors who were not independent wouldnt want to live in the retirement com munity Instead they would prefer to live near their children Other aspects of the proposed development include a shopping mall a shuttle service and private garbage pickup road maintenance and snow removal Mr Rice told council Council decided not to make any decisions concerning the proposal until the towns planning staff con ducted further studies on the viability of the
