Councillor Édwvards 'ex-, pressed disappointment that the analysis,,éxpected to be ready- for the next public meeting ont he! Brooklîn Secondary Plan, April' 26, would not be available. Plan- ning consultants, the techni- cal co-ordinating committee and town staff had said it would, be ready and the public had been told 50 as late as February, he said. -The public meeting, to be held April 26 at 7:30 p.m.' at Meadowcrst School iu Brook-' lin, will examine a preferred land use plan, transportation, plan and'two houslng mix alternatives, one prepared by the consultant, and one b by the 'administrative com- mittee of counicil, s"id Coun- cillor Edwards. Based on this meeting, and publie input by May 1, Coun- cillor Edwards said that the consultant could provide a financial analysi's of effeets on the 1own of Whitby only, by mid June. However, he said, because of the heavy costs for sanitary sewers, water mains and arterial1 roada to Brooklln, the plan be lmplemented and the Region of Durham will have to Investigate the costs and negotiate with'thevari- ous developera in? the area iefore any further progress ean be made. If ail parties recommend Brooklin be devèloped, said Councillor Edwards,ý the puiblic ciannot expeet a finalý determination of the finan- cial Impact until the region has resolved its capital bud get In the spring'oM 1979. Whitby'a coundil must examine the evidence and make its own decision on Brooklin after that, he said, and he did 'not expeet any development could .take place In Brooklin until 1980 at the earllest. Although Conslîdated Building Corporation has publically stated it would make a $2 million commit- ment ta front-end load the coatof sewers ta Brooklin, it has made no such committ- ment in writing te the region, I!mnancial 'nalysis ready by spring, 1979 kl ln deve!omentdelaed Councillor Edwards ex -_______________________ plalned that the Brooklin Secondary Plan bas changed direction. It started out as a Town of Whitby study to'-be submitted ta the region, and, now it cannot proceed further until ths,, regional capital onsiderations are worked out, he said. 1"The longer this thing goes on, the more -complicated, it becomes, because of pres- sures of the various interest-. ed parties which will inhibit the committee and council from making decisions," he said.
