Last Wednesday night Clarke and Baldwin St. resi- dents met with Frank Wu - planning department and Mr. Bill Daniels - president of the Kaitlin Group to address some issues raised at a pub-. lic meeting on April 7, 1997. The Newcastle residents became quite concerned when the Kaitlin Greup apphied to change the zoning on a parcel of land bounded by Clarke and Baldwin St. from R-i1 zoning to an appre- priate zone te allow smaller frontages, smaller lot set- backs and greater lot cover- ages. The residents felt that smaller homes with less open space around them would not be in keeping with the exist- ing neighbourhood. It is feared that the smaller lot sîzes would aise create a parking problem and that cars would constantly be parked on the street. The new zoning would allow for 25 homes te be build rather than the 21 at theR-i zoning. R-i1 zoning requiresa 60 ýfi. lot frontage.

Dr. Campbell chal- lenged Mr. Daniels te work with the neighbours and withdraw bis re-zoning appli- cation.,In addressing Mr. Wu, Dr. -Camnpbell said: "the issue is simple, the residents want their quallty of life te stay the samne. De net sacri- fice us on the developers alter.» Mr. Daniels urged the res- idents te work wlth hlm and they could come up with a great product. Danlels sug- gested that the lot sizes on the perimeter of the property could retain the 60 ft frontages if preperties inside could be reduced. This way he could still get 4 more lots on thîs parcel -of land. Daniels stated: "if that was net goed enough wlth every- one in the reom, then you are net working wlth us."
