Canada Homes subdivision in Georgetown South said a source close to the subdivision develop ment There s no market They d love to have sold the homes a long time ago said the source Although several attempts were made to obtain a statement from Canada Homes and its president Lome Leibel no comments could be attained before press time In comparison all but two homes in the nearby Fernbrook Homes subdivision are currently cupied said president Danny Salvatore There are 100 houses in the Fernbrook subdivi sion he said The Heralds source said the ference in sales between the two subdivisions is related to the method each builder used to sell their respective homes Fern brook didn t sell to as many speculators Mr agreed this could be the case saying I didnt sell most of my homes to speculators But I cant say for sure that was the reason he added It was explained to the Herald that Canada Homes had initially sold several of its homes but they were conditional sales The Amendments in works for Planning Act Amendments to Ontario s Plann ing Act will be introduced this fall to prevent unapproved lot through a person s last will and testament The government in tends to stop this

into lots and leave them to their children or other beneficiaries However in recent years plann ing and zoning approvals have been bypassed by some investors who have paid elderly or dying people to rewnte their wills sub dividing the land into many lots and bequeathing them to the in vestors This land may be inappropriate for residential purposes yet pressure to develop those lots may result Abuses have been particularly evident in the Niagara region where here are important areas of specialty farmland Under the proposed amendment landowners will be allowed to be queath lots to their children or other beneficiaries only if he lots were created with local municipal approval If an existing will tails or pro to be subdivided beneficiaries will jointly own the lind until it is either sold as one parcel and the profits divided or the necessary subdivision ap are obtained Halton Housing Authority names Hebb to top post Mrs Louise Hebb of Burlington has been appointed chairman of the

house if they sold their existing home ex plained the source But when the market went soft people couldn sell their existing homes and there decided not to close the deal on the new home The market has been going increasingly soft for the last months said the Herald He went on to explain that technically the builder could sue these people but it rarely happens But maybe it should the man
