On that evening, the devel- opers of two subdivisions planned for the area presented revised plans to Whitby Council's administrative com- mittee which met with the approval of association mem- bers at a general meeting the following evening. The Subdivisions, Whitby Toune Estates and Langmaid Meadows' Markborough, have been the subjects of l-ong battles which have seen the developers, on numerous occasions, present their plans to council or the ratepayers only to have them rejected by one or both of those bodies. WHITBY TOWNE ESTATES The most recent, and pos. sibly fial, plan for Whitby Towne Estates shows a reduc- tion from the developer's original December 2. 1973, proposal of 317 single detached units to 287; an increase in semi.detached units from 0 to 140; a reduc- tion in group block housing units from 236 to 112. The association's main beef with the original plan was the clustering of certain hous- ing types. Developer Ed Hyde, in his comments to administrative committee, expressed frustra- tion over the number of times he has presented revised plans, only to have them turned down ' "I feel that this plan *now will hopefully satisfy everyone. I've gone just as far as 1 can go economically. 1 don't want to have it turned it"l. The revised plan met with the ratepayers' approval with the only exceptions being the reduction, in single family units and the traffic patterns. One of the association's members said to the executive "I think you've done a fantas- tic job with the housing. 1 hope you can do as well with the traffic". MARKBOROUGH The rnost recent, and again probably final, plan for Mark- borough shows an increase in single detached units from the developer's submission for public input on June 12, 1975 to the developer's revised plan to the administrative commit- tee on October 20, 1975 from 261 to 426; a reduction in semi-detached units from 132 to 86; a reduction in link units from 14 to 0; a reduc- tion in detached clusters fromn 94 to 88; a reduction ir street townhouses fromn 103 to 0; a reduction in block town- houses from 130 to 0; whle the number of apartment units remains at 120. Ron McEachern, first vice- president of the association, said "the executive feels quite tickled about this plan". The only concern about the revisions was whether or not a vast area of swamp-like terrain would be retained as such as it now is a beautiful homing ground for various formis of wildlife. The Cen- tral Lake Ontario Conserva- tion Authority may have final say in this matter and, accord- ing to one of the association's members, CLOCA isn't likeIy to let the area go.
