WIHTBY PRUE PRESS. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20,198s8, PAGE 9 Idustri*al uses are planned for .30-acre property An application by two development co mpanies for industrial uses of a 30-acre property west of Thickson Rd. S. and south of Wentworth St. to the lake, drew comments and questions from several area residents and a LAOAC repre- sentative at a public meeting Monday night. Thickson Point residents who live next to the property questioned the impact of industrial development on traffic and wells. Another, offering a 'philosop- hical observation," suggested Whitby do more to develop parkland along the waterfront, noting that industrial develop- ment "will eat away" future park development possibilities. He also asked if there was a shortage of prestige, industriai land. FROM PAGE 6 for retirement when he quits far- ming. Further, if a farmer wishes to seIl that lot -that is his right . The boogeyman of people not being able to live near farms is just that. It is a scare tactic and most un- true. Farmers are amply protected by the provincial legislation which gives them the right to farm without concern of being legally prosecuted for working necessary hours or for spreading odorous fertilizers or creating what other people might "There is a. shortage seen for industrial lands period,' said planning director Bob Short, referring to a; Durham Region economic development report (the report notes that Whitby bas a "healthy supply" of serrced industrial land, compared tý iny other municipality in Durham, but that more and more developers are -only building to lease-back). The resident then asked if there was a shortage of parkland in Whitby, to whiéh Short Teplied that parkland bas been entrenched in the harbor plan and could be, extended from Heydenshore to Thickson while "inegotiations" could be held over more parkland south of Water St. in the harbor-Heydenshore area. And Mayor Bob Attersley said the Town would like the entire consider a nuisance. In effect, laws are in place which protect the far- mer against any person who might wish to object to him farming. I feel that it is important that far- mers in each section of Durham Region let their elected represen- tatives know their feelings on this matter to prevent this further erosion of people's rights in owning land in the Region of Durham. Yours very truly, Douglas W. Wilson Alderman, City of Oshawa Councillor, Region of Durham strip of land along the lake in Whitby to be parlcland. Rick MacDonald, representing LACAC, also asked about preservation of the Williaàm Smith bouse on the property, noting the historical significance of the residence of the former Whitby reeve. Discussion was to be held with the developers about the bouse. The application proposes to <ivide the property into four blocks, two for industrial purposes with associated outside storage and two for prestige industrial (more landscaping, architectural design of building. front) with no open storage.
