Council ,Says no tylawcha-nge Whitby town council still refuses to give in and change a zonlng by- law so a developer, Whitby Towne Estates, bas tbreatened te take the matter. before the Ontario Municipal Board. The argument la over the rear yard setbacks of a 399 lot development In east Whitby. The developer originally wanted the rear yard depth amended te 25 feet deep while the existing bylaw stipu- lates that the minimum setback ha 10 metres (32.8 .feet). 'Wbitby Towne Estates have agreed te a mmne metre (29.5 feet) compromise but coundil are sticking by their guns. «"I suggest they can live with 10 metres, " said councillor Marcel Brunelle. "Ten metres la a minimum standard and even that is small. When you have a stand- ard, you should stick by The developer bas said that tkiey wish to change the bylaw bW cause of the changing market for sizes and shapes of homes. "We don't change our plan because the mar- ket changes," countered councilor Joe Drumm. "We're flot goig te be run up and down like a fîddler's elbow. " Council- fears that a bylaw change would re- suIt in a precedent. Tkiey do mot want other developers asking for the same deal. Barry Waltmam, ap- pearing on behalf of Wbitby Towne Estates, said that'a change in the bylaw sbould not result In precedent. 1"We emphasize that eacb developmemt pro- posaI brought hafore coundil sbould ha con'- sidered on its own merit," hesaid. Wbile Drumm- said coundil should settle the matter "here and now", councilor Tom Edwards said that coundil shouldn't try te solve kiousing problema at the cost of jeopardiz- ing houslng plans. An earier report by the plann director said.tha t if the rear yard sethack-were reduced to 25 feet, there la a possibility that two storey dweing units would, ha separated by only 50 feet i the rear yard area. "We have some hesi- tation in recomxnending a reduction in rear yard setback if it results -i separation of dwellings whlch would cause shadowing effects and some deterioration in privacy," said the report. The 309 lots would ha located on as yet unbuilt roadasouSth of Kirby Crescent and north of an unopened Buarns Street. w 132 Pages
