Planning Boae-rd Would av N'ToTilx 1- was stated by s ome members of the Plan-ning Board at a re- cent meeting that both the Or- ono Police, Trustees andi the T'ownship Council should say 'No' to the construction tof two tri- plex apartrments on a lot on Prin- cess Street. Also it was àsked why Council could not use ýtheir present Restricted Area by-law, which had three readiugs by coun- cil, as a guide. "Without tbis youi hav.e nothing", said Mr. L MTcIee of the Boardi. Mr. E. B. Wood yard submitted a- lot plan of the proposed pro- ject. It was pointed out by Mr. McGee that the plan was not, ad- equate as it did not show-parking area or an area for the second tule field. He also said that there was no plan of the type of con- struction; whether it was to be of brick, wood or tin. Mr. McGee said, that evorý(hing pertaiuiug to the construction should be shown and approved before a per- mit was issued. Chairman of the Planning Board ilso pointed out that anytbing other than a singie family dwell- ing must have plans drafted by a qualified architeet or engin- eer and stamped by their stamp. This, he said, was law in the Township. Mr.,Woodyard stated that these two buildings would ,lbring, in $1,000-00 in taxes every year a- long, with *revenue -te hydro and watcr. Mr. Simpson said the ýcost of, educating children 'from the building would be $1440 00. Mr. Woodyard felt however that not too many children would be liv- iug in sucli accommodation.. In discussion, other items were pointed ont and it was said that if these were part of the condi- tiins ai least someone would be held responsible. Mr. McIGee ask- ed if it was not the 'purpose ýto eliminate problems before they arose rather than let tbem hap- pen in the first place. S Mr, Art Low asked, "How much can 0Orono afford to ex- pan-d iefore sýeuws are needed?"'ý Ile did sa 1Y that it was going 10 burt to grow up but how far is the towu going to go? Mr. Woodyard said that Orono was going to be faced with sewers anyway and feit the faster we could get profitable assessment the better it would be.
