Canada NEW& USED OFFICE FURNITURE' - BUY- RENT-SELL- LEASE- i ii Council -says no to townhouses By MIKE JOIINÈTON Free Press Staff Town council has tur- ned down a re-zoning application which would have seen 77 block townhouses built on the east side of Garden St. The land is presently zoned for single row family townhouse units abutting a public road. The re-zoning would have allowed the block townbouses to abutt a private road. Appearing before a special meeting of the Administrative Com- mittee Iast week, Roger Elliot, representing the applicant, said his lient's intent was to develop the property under the province's Renterprise program. The townhouses would have been subsidized througb that program. In a recordecl vote of 7-0 in favour of denying the re-zoning ap- plication, councillors said Monday night they were against the proposai because it;did not fit the character of the neighbourhood, not because the townhouses would be rented. Councillor Joe Bugelli told Elliot that the land can stili be used for ren- t.al housing as long as it stays witbin the guidelines of the zoning, effectively countering an argument by Elliot that the only reason the re-zoning was being denied was because the townhouses would be rentals. "'There Is nothing wrong witb rentaI ac- commodation and if anyone suggests there is, tbey baven't given it a look," said Eliiot. But council member after council member again defeated their decision on the basis of the proposai not con- forming to the neigh- bourhood. "lWe agree with what you are trying to do, but that is not the issue here. The question here is would the bouses be correct next to $150,000, $160,000 bouses," said counillor Bugelli. Speaking on behaîf of the homeowners ln the area, Jeffery Davies accused Elliot of using the rentai issue as- a red- herrlng te get support for the housing "which doesn't deserve lt. " Couneillor Tom Ed- wards said the decision by council "Iwas in keeping witb councils handling of matters of this klnd." Councillor Ross Bat- ten summed up the feeling of coundil when he said they were op- posed to the bouses abutting a private road and not public roads wich it is zoned for. Town rejects gfraffe Whitby council won't stick its neck out to asslst a company with its corporate image - a 32 ft. giraffe. Toys 'R' Us bad made an application ta the town to instail the giraf- fe silhouette at their store on Thlckson Rd. S. requesting that the town vary its sign by-law. The maximum pylon sign height ls 19.7 ft. >But coundillors stuck to the guldelines and denied the application. "I'm sure the company doesn't have 32 ft. high giraffes on their letters and envelopes;" said councillor Joe Bugelli. He said the corporation knew the guidelines and the height restrictions when it came to the town. Councilor Tom Ed-. wards agreed witb Bugeii statlng that if council approved the giraffe, coundil would have to go back a numn- ber of years and ap- prove the signa it turned down in the past. It was only councilor Joe' Drum who came to the defense of the company. "We welcomed the company to the town with its 250 jobs and thisis not the time to get facetlous," he said. He said the town sbould bend the rules for the company because t4we are damn glad to have them bere. " 1Decom unwanted ini Witby :Sims FROM PG. I station would stand to suffer if there is a miscaiculation of a risk," said Sims adding that an accident couid occur simpiy by a worker tripping over an 18 inch gap between a vehicle and the station. Sims then turned his argument to the question of need and asked whether it is desirable to transport waste 450 km for in- cineration. "The answer can oniy be a resoun- ding no," he said. One way to increase accident prevention. .Sms told the board, is to have the incinerator and the origin of the waste in close proximity ' o each other. He said the station Decom is proposing is unique and should un- dergo the highest level of scrutithy. The support of the MOE for the station aiso came under fire from Sims who toid the board the MOE did not hire a microbiologist to study the proposai. "The ministry has not done the criticai analysis it should have therefore it is not in a position to support the proposai." He then questioned whether or not Decom's evidence was satisfac- tory. He recalled evidence by witness Wally Wells on behaîf of Decom and charged he bais had no past dealings with the wastes Decom viii be transfering.* He questioned Decom's decision not to consider other alter- natives and sites and said this should have been done. He questioned whether the facility will be run as proposed noting that Decom bas hired empioyees from Ontario Removal Ser- vice i(ORS) which was convicted for dumping wastes in Markham. But Decom iawyer Lederer said the MOE asked Decom to take over the operations in Ajax which was previousiy run by ORS. Sims then questioned the company's training procedures for workers and conciuded they were not sufficient. In conclusion, he said, that the Town of Whtby and the citizens who iive and work in the town do not want the station here. The iawyer for MOE also made his final sommnation and kept his comments to the 20 con- citions of approval for the station. The conditions in- clude, only perniitting Decom <operated vehicles to carry waste to and frnm -the station. The station wiil only transfer humnan anatomical waste, animal .anatomnical waste infectious, non- anatomical waste infec- tious, animal anatomical waste non- infectious and non- hazardous phar- mnaceutical waste. Transfer of waste wil only be conducted inside tbe station and doors at the front and back will neyer ta opened simuitaneously creating FROM PG. 6 a wind tunnel effect. Eacb collection van shah ta washed and decontaminated each and every time it is unloaded and only washed and decon- taminated trailer uniits shall ta allowed into tbe station. Lederer also- told board members that Decom wlll absorb the cost of any inspection the Town o 'r Region may wish to carry out at anytime. Tidbail said that un- der those conditions tbe board sbould approve the transfer station. Licenses re'stricted The money the game preserve committee received from the licen- ses as weli as financial contributions from the ministry and the town, covered the cost of raising the pheasants. FRONI p;. (6 Because tbe town wili restrict licenses to Whitby residents tbis year the town will pay an additional $850 to raise the birds but with no hunting in. 1987, no costs wiil be incurred.
