3) 2 i 'May force cut-back Industrial servicing problems "A sewer servicing prob- lem for 35 acres of land fronting Regional Road 8 which are proposed for industrial development may force 'a reduction in the number of industries that could be located on the par- "cel. Tony Cesaroni of Carlan Enterprises, developer of the industrial land, unveiled preliminary sketches to council Monday night, and at the same time said that the Durham Region Works department has informed the company that the sewer "capacity is not sufficient to support the industrial devel- opment of the full 35 acres.

Mr. Cesaroni said that the costs involved in doing this would be prohibitive as far as the industrial land development is concerned. - 'We were amazed at the changes the Region wanted," said Mr. Cesaroni. Concillor Reg Rose said that since the region works on servicing standards laid down by the provincial Min- istry of the Environment which cannot be altered, the company should consider less acreage for industrial development. He suggested 1977 that calculations be made to determine the maximum number of industries . that could be supported by the existing sewer capabilities. The Region, said Councillor Rose, will not accept any surcharge, no matter how minor, on the sewage system, Mr. Cesaroni agreed to: cut back the industrial land to suit the Region's stand- ards, and this could amount to five or six acres. He said he wants to get these prob- lems solved as soon as pos- sible because there is one large concern interested in developing on the land, and a smaller 'industry is also very interested in situating there as well. He did not name the industries, how- ever, as no written agree- ment has been reached yet. 28 Pages 'Now Let Me See! Tara Galberg Soniemplates her raven drawing some helpful suggestions.

Utica development decision deferred A decision on how much future residential growth should take place in the hamlet of Utica has been deferred by Scugog Town- ship council until at least September 26. Council decided at the regular meeting Monday night to seek more inform- ation from the Durham Region Planning Depart- ment after hearing that soil analysis tests would support a proposed 19-unit subdivis- ion in the northwest corner of the community. Mr. Doug Plitz, manager of development for Jacob- sen Construction, which is proposing the subdivision, told council that tests con- ducted by Donald Wesley Milne and Associates 'of Scarborough would seem to indicate that the soil is cap- able of supporting drilled well and septic system for the houses on this land. Because of this, Mr. Plitz asked that the land pro- posed for development by .Jacobsen be included in the Utica hamlet boundary designation of the Durham official plan. These latest soil tests con- tradict earlier tests taken by the Durham Region Planning department which led the regional planners to a decision to severely re- strict residential growth because of fears that septic systems would contaminate wells of residents already living in Utica. A public meeting held in June of this year indicated overwhelming support for the growth restrictions pro- posed by the regional plan- ners. However, on request of Jacobsen Construction, Scugog council agreed to wait until further soil tests had been conducted before making a final decision on the Utica boundaries. This apparent contradict- ion between the results of the region's soil testing and the results of the Milne 'study is one thing council wants to discuss with the Continued on Page 27 Red fox family having a ball There is a crafty four- some at Sunny Brae Golf Club in Prince Albert, and they've been playing some pretty sneaky games all summer. They don't own golf clubs, bags or tees, and they never pay green fees. But from reports from numerous golfers at the club, the four have been having a ball just the same. The four are a family of red foxes and their game is stealing golf balls, almost from under the very noses of the bewildered and some- times amused golfers. The two adults and two young ones have been spott- ed at several different loca- tions on the course, but it seems they prefer to hang ' AA AAARREAA RRR AA NAAR USCA AAA AL out around the 15th green. An official at Sunny Brae told the Star last week that at least 50 golfers have re- ported an encounter with the foxes this summer. They will dash out onto the fairway or green, pick up a golf ball and head off into the woods. Sometimes they will play with the ball and kick it along the fair- way. One golfer is reported to have found 16 golf balls in a neat little circle in the woods, And while most golfers found their antics humour- ous, a club spokesman said the situation is starting to get serious as the foxes are tame enough to walk right up to people, scaring some Continued on Page 27 Eh RT
