Richards Concerns over the increase in traffic, lack of privacy and construction construction garbage brought two Trulls Road, South residents to a public meeting on Monday morning, Nov. 21. They spoke to councillors about the impact of a 63-unit housing development development off Trulls Rd., south of Highway Two. The development Happy 50th Birthday Mary Pat n Love, your family p ^ and frienck ^ ^ would consist of single family homes, semi-detached dwellings and townhouses. "I'm not against development, but traffic is getting heavy in the morning (already), said Alex Vooys. He warned once the development is completed, traffic will become heavier. As it is, "people drive along Trulls Road to cut a few minutes off their drive," he said. Another concern of Vooys is the effect of the development on his greenhouse. He asked that the Planning Planning Department request a chain- link fence between his property and that owned by the developer. Vooys expressed apprehension at the thought of more people in the area and the added burden on the water supply. At this point, Clarington Mayor Diane Hamre assured Vooys: "If there is a negative impact on existing existing wells and it can be proven dial the developer is responsible for the lack of drinking water, that person is responsible for supplying you with potable water." Patricia Greene, also of Trulls Road, told committee members, she too has concerns with privacy. In addition, she is concerned with the amount of construction leftovers that were bulldozed onto the back of her property during the construction of houses on Yorkville Drive. n Neil and Grace November 22,1994 Love, your family and friends ^ Don't Miss a Single Issue Catch all the news, sports and advertising that make up our community.
