The numbers of potential students students do not meet the criteria of having a school, on the site, Mutton said. "I still feel there will be enough kids on the site to warrant'a school," Mutton stated. Councillor Jim Schell, Chair of the Municipal Planning Committee, told Watson she should bring her concerns to the s.chool board. The site was designated in the subdivision plan, yet the school board chose not to build à school. ■ Schell said he felt the decision decision by the Board, to pull the site as a school site, "is premature premature at best. It's better to hold on to the site till the Port of Newcastle is built out, then determine the number of stu- dents," he stated. When completed, the Port of. Newcastle neighbourhood will have a total of 1,139 dwelling units. Planning Committee also, had one written submission from, a resident who felt that the cancellation of the school block would decrease their property value. The developer, the Kaitlin Group, have submitted an application to amend the draft subdivision plan to permit the development of 19 lots, for 38 semi-detached/linked dwellings dwellings on the former school site. The public meeting was a requirement ' of the Planning Act.

The amendment, amendment, according to Mutton, provides some kind of security and confidence to residents, "If they don't want it, it won't be forced on them." Mayor Mutton made another another amendment to the staff rec-. ommendations, that no further financial resources be spent on consultants for the Heritage Conservation District. "I think I've heard from people in opposition, they don't want any more resources spent," he said. "I want to make sure through a resolution, that no further resources are spent on consultants." This amendment .was passed unanimously. "I know I'm going to have people people upset," said the. Mayor, "but that's how politics goes," he stated. Besides the $70,000 already already spent on studies, in preparation for the Heritage District Conservation Plan, staff, anticipate it will take another $5,000 to $7,000. in staff time to complete the designation designation of Beech Ave. Opposition to the Conservation Conservation District was vocal, and a compromise position has been reached. Rather than applying for Heritage Designation Designation under the Ontario Heritage Act, heritage guidelines guidelines will be put in place to be used as a resource document by residents. ; .
