Both Councillor Marie Hubbard and Councillor Bruce Taylor pressed pressed Councillor Hobbs to specify where he wanted the money to come from. Councillor Hobbs answered: "I don't feel it is necessary to break it down right now." "If he's suggesting it come from contigency funds...we could be in a precarious position," said Councillor Councillor Taylor. Councillor Hobbs defended his motion: "With careful management we should have had a surplus of $900,000, as it is we have a surplus of $400,000...! suggest to you people that with careful management you can still end up with a surplus in the area of half a million dollars." He did not convince his colleagues, colleagues, however, as all voted against his proposed amendment. Council Upholds Decision From Page One amend the by-law and change the zoning designation to only allow the construction of single family homes. Allan Strike again represented the people who "object to having ! link homfes in their back yards." He repeated that his clients had no objection to link housing as such, but they think it would be better better to plan an entire subdivision ; with a mix of housing than to "spot zone" for townhouses in the middle of an area long developed for single .family homes only. : Peter Hobb, Chairman of the Newcastle Development Group, also spoke to Council. He was care- ' ful to avoid expressing open support support for either side and concen- . trated on the apparent inconsistency inconsistency of the Council.

Councillor Hubbard pointed out: "We do have to give some direction direction to staff." Planning Director Terry Edwards said, "we have no position in the eyes of the O.M.B....and they can order us to provide evidence." However, the councillors rejected rejected the suggestions made to resolve resolve the Town's position on the Kraayvanger situation. They are unwilling to support the by-law or change it, leaving the ultimate decision decision to the O.M.B.
