Oshawa 433-1494 "I think it would be wise to table this and ask representatives from the area to meet with the developers and resolve concerns beforehand," said councillor Joe Bugelli. But Kevin Tunney, speaking on behalf of the developer, Arch Con- struction Development Corp., argued that a public rheeting on the proposal was held on April 21. "There were people here then and there were no concerns on lan- dscaping," he said. The proposal before committee Monday was for draft plan ap- proval. The land is currently zoned 'R4B', single family townhouse dwelling. "Where do you stop and where do you start?" asked Tunney referring to the committee's wish that the developer meet with the residents again. He said conditions for lan- dscaping are contained in a sub- division agreement. But the committee voted to have the developer meet with the residents. Tunney then asked that the meeting take place before the last council meeting for the summer on July 13. Fedak said that was possible. Paul Rycroft of the planning depar- tment is to meet with the residents today before the residents meet with the developer.

Committee rejects meters Whitby's operations committee has recommended against placing 15 parking meters on Ash St. after complaints from businesses on the street. "Whitby wants to promote the downtown guy and then you stick it to us," Brian Jensen of Jensen Auto told committee members at a June 15 meeting. Jensen complained there are more important issues facing Whitby than placing parking meters on Ash St. and he claimed they would only hurt the businesses. The public works department had recommended the 15 meters at a cost of $10,500. The department said there. was a poor turnover parking on the street and in fact "drivers are taking advantage of the free parking. "It is our opinion that the in- stallation of parking meters on Ash St. should have positive effec- ts on local businesses in the area," stated the report. Rob Phillips of R.J. Phillips Auto Repairs also opposed the meters, telling committee the parking is "fine the way it is." The committee recommendation had been before council for ap- proval at the June 22 meeting. But council referred making a decision because the committee had also recommended enforcing a three-hour parking limit on Ash St. "The enforcement of the three- hour parking limit is rather dif- ficult to enforce continually since it would mean a municipal law en- forcement officer would have to patrol on almost a continual basis," stated a public works department report. Committee recommended en- forcing the three-hour parking on a complaint basis only. The matter will be decided by council at the July 13 special meeting. Mme
