PROPOSE DEVELOPMENT NEWCASTLE VILLAGE At the last council meeting of the Town of Newcastle held in the Village of Newcastle a presentation was made by lawyer Jim Service concerning concerning a proposal for a housing development for 2400 people. The development is proposed to be placed on two parcels of land, 160 acres, north and south * of King Street at Ruddell Road within the former Village of Newcastle. The proposed development would include single family dwellings as' well as town houses and semi-detached houses. Mr. Service said it would also include four-unit dwellings dwellings contained within a single building with what he called "Zero lot lines". He further said this was innovative and unusual. The four units would make use of common outer walls. The lawyer said the homes would be suitable for senior citizens and would be smaller in floor area than houses now generally being built. He suggested the units would have from 600 to 900 square feet instead of the 1400 square feet now being built for à growing family home. Service also pointed out that although extra baths and bedrooms added to the house also added considerable to j cost of the house, s' ie proposal is now to go to tne planning staff for comment comment and then to the Planning Advisory committee before it is returned to council for further discussion. Mayor Rickard did state that he was impressed with the proposal. Counc. Lyall said he too was impressed with any kind of housing, it is better than living in a shed. He also attempted to by-pass the Planning Advisory Committee Committee but found no support 'the move.

This is what Ontario is doing to protect you. We have a new law in Ontario called the Business Practices Act. Its purpose is to prevent unfair business practices in sales to the public. Here's what the law does: • it prohibits false, misleading or deceptive tactics in the sale of products and services. • it prohibits too high prices, unfair contracts and high-pressure sales methods. • helps people get their money back if a seller has taken unfair advantage of them. The Province of Ontario wants you to get your money's worth when you buy. Expensive items such as cars and homes require a lot of thought, so the Government of Ontario has prepared some simple booklets that tell you what to watch out for when you buy, explaining explaining the do's and don'ts about: "Buying a Car" "Buying Real Estate" "Buying a Condominium" "Getting a Mortgage" You can also get a booklet called "Balance in the Marketplace--The Consumer's Guide to the Business Practices Act." If you would like a copy of any of these booklets, or if you wish to report an unfair business practice, write now to: Ontario Consumer Queen's Park Toronto, Ontario M4Y 1Y7 Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations Sidney Handleman, Minister Province of Ontario William Davis, Premier
