' The possibility of allocat- ing lots on a percentage basis, (i.e., each developer getting a proportionate per- centage of the 50 lots) has been discussed. . But, would it be economically feasible for a developer to service and develop only six or eight lots over the next two years? The idea of giving a greater percentage to the developer who appears most ready to 'start immediate construction has also been: discussed. But what cri. teria would a' judgment . such as this be based on? It is going to be difficult indeed, if not impossible, for Council to devise on allocation system acceptable to all parties involved, The developers of proposed subdivisions are Hank's Excavating SEWER INSTALLATION Phone 985-2333 or Box 489 PORT PERRY | 1 starting to press Council lor some answers (othe whole question "ol availability, At the regular meeting of December 14, Council discussed the water situation with three different subdivision developers.

Councillor Howard Hall added that if Council approved a plan, and it was florwarded to Municipal Board for ap- proval, "they (OMB) would probably not look at'it-for two years as they are aware of the water shortage -in - Port Perry." Mr. Ballard asked that since he already has an obligation to the Village to pay "lor sewers (o- his development site, would the Village not have a return obligation to see that water was made available. Council answered that water would he provided on the. same other sub- division proposals. I'wo representatives for the planned industrial subdivision, Mr. Charles Love and Mr. C. Macrea presented Council with a proposal which Mr. Love said. "would solve all the water problems." In return tor water at the present time Mr, Love said, the backers of the industrial site are prepared to finance part or all of the cost of a new well, He went on to say that the agreement could be réached two ways. First, the . Village could enter directly mto 1 i agreement cost-sharing with the --developer in return for water now. Or, Port Perry and Reach Township (where the site is to be located) could _torm an arrangement for the new well, and the developer would then work out a seperate nareement with Reach. Mr. Love said the Village could afford to give the in- dustrial site water now,' because: --acedrding to ~in- lormation. he has, the present well will provide for residential and industrial growth until 1975. And by --~that-time (1975) he added; a new well would be com: pleted. and A WRN SHO A hal Councillor Gerald Jack- mananswered that the present well will: suffice to 1975 on projected population growth of 90° persons per year, which 'he termed a "ridiculously low igure," He also said that OWRC had informed Council that at the present timg, the industrial site 1s out of the question. In arguing his case, Mr. Love said that the industries interested in coming to the site are low water users, He said the industrial site could be fully serviced with water: there would still be water enough for residential expansion, He said that water usage at the fully developed in- dustrial site would be 20 gallons per day lor 300 employees, or total daily usage of 6,000 gallons. On the other-hand, he continued, 50 residential units would use 15,000 gallons of water daily. "What do vou want," he asked Council, "**houses or jobs?" He said the creation of the jobs would be a definite asset for the Village, and that "housing would naturally develop as a result of this. Reeve Kenny poplich that he "couldn't agree more," hut questioned the figure of 300 jobs. © Mr. Love said that at the moment, 7 industries are terested in locating at the proposed site. When asked how much the development would be prepared to finance towards construction of a new well, Mr, "the entire cost, if necessary, to get all the water we need; now: It appeared that in- tormation Mr. Love has received trom OWRC, and formation Council has Irom .OWRC' is conflicting and it was agreed a meeting hetween the three parties should be arranged if the near future to straighten this conflict out.
