Developer says cost to service too high The developer of the proposed Brooks Farm subdivision in Port Perry says that unless the cost for servicing the lots is reduced, he may be forced to abandon the project. Mark Attar told council Monday afternoon that he calculates the cost per lot for services is $34,000 for the Man hurt A single car accident on July 1 sent a 21 year old Oshawa man to Sunnybrook 'Hospital with serious injuries.

"If we can't find a way to cut down on these (service) costs, the subdivision simply won't he told councillors. Mr. Attar is objecting to a pro- posal favoured by council which would see a road built along the lakeside of the development. However, there would be lots on just one side of that road, a fact he says adds to the overall cost of servicing lots. He wants the road to have lots on either side. "The houses must be kept affor- dable for the average family," said Mr. Attar, saying the per lot service costs (for roads, water mains, hydro and curbs) should be in the $25,000 range. y i Members of council took no action on the request from Mr. Attar other than to authorize a meeting next week between the Township plann- ing consultant and planners working for the developer. The Brooks Farm proposal is located on the east side of Durham Road Two, just north of Durham Road 8. The number of lots is about 125, built with municipal water and individual septic systems. More sewage Scugog Township council has ask- ~ ed Durham Region to investigate the possibility 'of improving the -- capacity of the sewage treatment lagoon system which serves the village of Port Perry. Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor noted Monday afternoon that the present system is at near capacity and the lack of sewage treatment facilities is starting to hamper residential growth potential in the community. The Mayor acknowledged that Durham Region may not be able to do anything to improve the capaci- ty for several years, but he told members of council that Scugog council "should go on record at this time" to request that something be done. The motion to ask the Region to start looking into the possibilities of expanding the treatment system was endorsed unanimously by members of council.

It will be the first time council has met with the Fair Board re-location committee since the report was nresented on June °° PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, July 7, 1987 -- 11 Council, Fair Bd. will meet to review report Meanwhile on July 6, councillors went "in camera" for a lengthy meeting with Durham Board of Education chairman Sandra Lawson, official Jim Russell and Scugog trustee Joyce Kelly to discuss the ramifications of the con- sultants report on-the cost of mov- ing the Fairgrounds. Mayor Jerry Taylor said the meeting was to exchange ideas, and Bowling Lane owner asks for motel units The owner of Centennial Lanes in Port Perry is seeking council's per- mission to construct eight "efficien- cy' motel units on the second storey above the bowling allies. Wally Gotthelf told Township councillors Monday afternoon he believes there is a need for this kind of development in Port Perry. Earlier this year, council rejected a proposal by Mr. Gotthelf to build four apartments above the bowling lanes. He said Monday the efficien- cy motel units are more in keeping with the commercial designation of the property at the corner of Scugog and Carnegie Streets. He said he would create parking for the eight units along the east side .of the present building. He has no - plans to shut the bowling lanes, he told council. - Members of council took no action Monday on this request for a zoning change to allow the' motel units. However, the new owner of the Railroadhouse Motel just across the street said he is opposed to the idea on the grounds that it would impact on his motel business. He said the winter months are slow for the motel with an. occupancy rate averaging about 50 per cent. And residents of Carnegie Street also filed a formal objection to the -- proposal, stating there is already enough of a traffic congestion pro- blem in the Carnegie and Scugog Streets vicinity, and there is a shor- tage of parking spaces. Council will make a decision on Mr. Gotthelf's request some time in the very near future. he said senior staff at the Board of Education will be examining just how much it might cost the Board in compensation if expropriation © proceedings continue for seven acres of the current Fairgrounds as the site for a new elementary school. The School Board, the Township and the Fair Board have been try- ing for the last 18 months to reach an agreement over re-locating the Fairgrounds to a new site behind Scugog Arena. A consultants report says the cost of re-locating could be $1.7 million, including construction of a new half-mile race track and a $225,000 horse barn along with other facilities for the Fair. When the report was presented to. Township council last week, coun- cillors agreed the cost is too high for Scugog*to carry alone. However, consultant Kim McQuaig who prepared the report, stressed that the estimates are for 'cadillac facilities' and there may be room to trim some of the cost estimates substantially. ' Guides seek 50 acre parcel for camping The Oshawa Division of Girl Guides of Canada is seeking permis- sion from Scugog Township council to set up a facility for overnight camping on 50 acres of land on the ~ north side of the Shirley Road. Pat Spencer, a spokesperson for the Oshawa Division told council Monday afternoon that if the re- zoning for the 50 acres is approved the Guides would use the land for winter and summer camping. She went on to say that the facili- ty would be large enough for 150 Guides from Oshawa and District to camp in tents over night. Mrs. Spencer noted that the Guides previously used to camp on ten acres of land near Newtonville (in Newcastle) but they gave that area up as a landfill site expanded around them. "We have come to love this pro- perty (on the Shirley Road) and we intend to become good neighbours in the area,' she told council. © One resident of the area who lives on the south side of the Shirley Road expressed concern about parking for the camping area, but when told there would be parking for 20 cars and a bus, he said he would have no complaints. : There were no objections to the proposal from members of council, although it was suggested that if the re-zoning is approved, it would be limited for the specific use as a cam- ping area for Guides. "The 50 acres is located just to the = west of the tiny hamlet known as Purple Hill. id FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY! (Seasonal Shoe Clearance) on sale now at 14a CH=7:\'4 ----_--»S5
