The figure given as Port Perry's limit is around 3,100, includ- ing a handful *bf lots (development to Which the Region is already com- mitted). "The limit-is a shock to most area developers wait- ing to go. Some of them claim to have much-needed industry ready to go. Perhaps one of the more disappointed is Ted Griffen, who was starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel a month ago when Scugog council offered his company permigsfon_ta develop 150 residéntial lots over the next five years in exchange for the developing and servicing of adjacent industrial land. . "I don't think anyone wants full-scale, massive development here," said Ted. 'We want reasonable growth of the type needed to spread the tax base, but not destroy the character of the town. I think we can absorb that kind of slow growth." HALT IS TEMPORARY Perhaps the only bright side of the picture is that no IIE Sd SANs poy LAR YY, » RE FEA RTA Oy CANN VAAN PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Mar. 17, 1976 -- 29 one considers the problem insurmountable. "It's a delay...not a permanent stop to area growth," said Mayor Malcolm. He and a number of councillors see the delay lasting about two years, while Ted Griffen is slightly more pessimistic. It'll be at least three years before engineers reports are in on alternate treatment facil- ities, the report is acted on money is made available, and the work begins, thinks Ted. . But the delay will be cost- ly. It isn't reasonable to expect industries to wait for another number of years to go ahead. "We're bound to lose the industry waiting to come in here now," said Ted. Mayor: Malcolm points to another problem: Money. "I don't have any idea about what it would cost to update our sewage treatment facil- ities," he said. (A purely speculative figure of $4 million was discussed at a prior meeting of council) "but it's bound to be a lot of money." i He said there were about 1,200 lots proposed for devel- opment in the area, with about 700 with draft plan approval and ready to go. Mayor Malcolm said there will be no hesitancy to get engineers to look at the problem but said that there'd be a two-year delay at least. If and when such an alternative system is chosen, the question of who will pay for it will have to be decided. Mayor Malcolm thinks the answer is clear: The developers who need this added treatment capac- ity should pay the bills. Undoubtedly it will serve the entire community, but we are getting by with our existing system now, thinks the mayor. Such a costly project would be to the clear benefit of future develop- ment, and they should pay for it. Developer Tony Cesaroni, 5 Developers frustrated at a recent meeting of Scugog council, felt devel- opers would go along with such a scheme on a cost- share basis "if that's what it would take to get things going." Mayor Lawrence Malcolm suggested that there could be some limited, interim development even with the imposed restrictions. He suggested larger lots and septic systems as on partial solution. He also said that the Hamlet Study in the proposed regional official plan will also be out soon, and will show a number of area hamlets as being able to absorb a considerable amount of growth. Estate residential development could go ahead as well, and all these would help to pro- vide some growth while the answer is found to Port Perry's sewage problem. VICIOUS CIRCLE While septic development may be a partial answer, " there's a drawback. Since the costs of an expensive future treatment system would be split up among the developers, the more devel- opers there are, the easier the burden. { Therefore, points out onb developer, if everyone g into septic, who'll pay f the treatment system? i Mayor Malcolm said that if and when such a sewage treatment facility is con- structed, it would have to have the capacity to handle the outer limits of the area's projected growth ..about 7,000 in the proposed Regiorl- al official plan. A Coun. Reg Rose said Port Perry area development is "back to square one' after almost emerging from under development restrict- ions. He, too, suggested some development...even light industry...could be han- dled on septic systems. But such a system would be only stop-gap. "Development will simply have to wait," said Rose.
