[1 : if i (From page 1) per cent of gross annual house- hold income." The statement goes on to say that "households of low or moderate income are defined as those within the lowest 60 per cent of the income distribution for the Region." In Scugog, for example, an "affordable house" would cost slightly less than $150,000. The crucial part of the poli- cy statement that impacts di- rectly on municipalities is the requirement that at least 25 per cent of new housing projects of all kinds be in the "affordable" category. To come up with the two year work program schedule to implement the Policy State- ment, Scugog, Brock and Ux- bridge combined their efforts with the assistance of a plan- ning consultant. It calls for the Townships to make any Official Plan changes by August 1990, with public meetings held in June of that year. After August 1990, the PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 7, 1989 -- 5 but to commit to the goals set out in the provincial Policy Statement, Mr. Cuddie said a major problem that must be overcome to achieve this is the lack of fully serviced land. The village of Port Perry has run out of sewer capacity for new housingofany kind. Durham Region is studying the possibility and costs of in- creasing the sewage treatment capacity. Without increased sewage capacity, it is doubtful whether Scugog could meet the require- ment to provide 25 per cent af- fordable housing. To bring the cost of housing into that "affordable" range, i Affordable housing plans densities must be increased. For example, it may simply be impossible to provide this kind of housing on land serviced by wells and individual septic systems, where lot sizes are an acre or more. If Scugog is going to come up with the land to provide higher density housing (thus re- ducing the per unit cost) the ser- vicing capacity must be in- creased. Mr. Cuddie said that while the province has promised sup- port in getting zoning and offi- cial plan changes through, it is not clear whether there is finan- cial support for improvements to water and sewer services. THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM HOLIDAY CLOSURE OF SANITARY LANDFILL SITE Township's zoning by-law will be reviewed to implement any changes that were made to the Official Plan. The following August (1991) the Township must sub- mit these changes to the Onta- rio Municipal Board, if neces- sa The CARTWRIGHT TRANSFER STATION will be clos- ed on Saturday, November 11, 1989, for the Remem- brance Day Holiday.
