, 2k ERI i; i Se AN -- 2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., February 4, 1981 Subdivision up in the air (From page 1) Mr. McBroom told council on Monday that if the pro- posal finally gets the green light, the nine hole golf course would be developed first as 'a marketing tool" to help sell the homes and lots The proposal has received agreement in principle from the former Scugog council, and on Monday several members including Mayor Jerry Taylor, John Williams and Don Crosier said they remain in favour of the proposal. Councillor Lawrence Malcolm expressed strong opposition on the grounds that the development is a long way from the nearest fire department, will create problems for Township snow plowing, and that people living there might not become part of the Scugog community. Mr. McBroom agreed that insurance rates for fire protection would be high. But he said residents living there would expect no special consideration when it came to snow plowing, and that although the develop- ment would be isolated and self-contained, residents would do their shopping, etc. in Port Perry. Several people now living in the Chalk Lake area have written letters to Durham Region strongly stating their opposition to the proposed development on the grounds it could affect existing water supplies, the purity of Chalk Lake, and increase traffic in the area. Mr. McBroom told council that he has two meetings with the Chalk Lake Proper- ty Owners Association. Seniors to get tax Approximately 520,000 Ontario seniors who quali- fied for their 1980 Property Tax Grant will find a cheque in their mail box in April. "We knew there would be opposition, but we don't think the arguments are well founded," he told council. "They were living there first, so I can understand their attitude," he said. The proposal does have the support of Township plan- ning consultant John McDer- mott, who at one point during the Monday meeting said "quite frankly, of all the development proposals in Scugog, Brock or Uxbridge Townships, this is one of the most exciting." The cheque (of up to $250) will be the first installment of their 1981 Property Tax Grant and will be calculated automatically as one half of CUPE, Township talks A third meeting between the Township of Scugog and negotiators for 15 Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) outside workers will be held February 11.
