While faced with 134 pending applications, Short said the Town often runs into a prob]em from agencies commenting on applications. Agencies will now have te com- ment within 20 days of an appli- cation, which Short says will make the process quicker. "That is a problêm for us. This should make it quicker. But our' main problemi is the sheer volume of work,» said Short.

Councillor Joe Drumm, com- mittee chairman, replied that he would bring the stop sign request te the attention of the operations committee. Another resident asked if the smaller homes and townhouses had te be implemented because of a ministry mandate on afford- able housing. Drumm replied that the Minis- tr of Housing is looking for uaffordable housing. Resident Deug Campbell said, «It's net necessarily what the government thinks is right is right. I don't necessarily think affordable heusing is necessary everywhere. 'I had te rent a townhouse for three months, and it was like living in a jail, while waiting for my house te ii cempleted,» said Campbell. "Is there pressure on Stolp te pMut the tewnhouses in by the PrÃŽovince?» asked resident Jim Westhead. Freeman said, "They (town- houses) are part of the develop- ment in compliance with the official plan of Whitby. Stolp builds townhouses as part of their repertoire. I'm net aware of any provincial pressure. These are freehold tewnhouses." Another resident said, "WVhy couldn't they put in executive homes at executiveprices, and lessen the number of lower pri- ced homes?" Bryce Wright asked if the trees along existing streets would be preserved. Freeman replied that . a study would be done on the foasibility of retaining the trees, in consultation with the Town.

"The 'applicant is mirrori the intent of the offi- ciai plan. David Williams continued the argument that lower income housing did net belong in "the cc sthere anything anyone can do te stop this development? This is like putting Bargain Harold's in Rosedale.» Freeman reiterated that the planned 'homes and townhouses were "cgeing te be good executive townhouses." A resident replied that town- houses will become low income housing and crime wili result. Councillor Ross Batten spoke at length about the officiai plan and the need te, abide by it, as well as the proposed subdivision. "'At the January meeting, it was stated emphaticaliy that this department and the develo- per had to work in the Plan. "Lt (officiai plan) was develo- ped in this community, and approved after much deliberation te incorporate ail of different types of I ifestyles, income, traffic uses. 'Tou are tellin,ý us you enjoy a nice lifestyle. I in glad you're living the way ou want te. There are peope who can't afford (expensive homes). U'Thi particular piece of paro- perty is zoned te accenimodate fw to medium density housing. This process evolved through the planning stages, and ail cern- menîts were noted, and-we deve- loped a plan that answered con- cerns almost te, a tee, yet was stili within the officiai plan." Batten proposed makcing some of the lots larger (for single dwelling homes) and eliminating a few homes te, do se. But he concluded, "My rspen- sibility as an elected officiai is te work with the Planning Act, the officiai p Ian and in the interests of ail Whitby residents.
