Subdivision plan revised In response to concerns, several revisions were made to a subdivision plan before it was recommended b yTown planning committee Monday night. Many residents' attended the meetin to voice concerns over the subdivision proposed for the west side of An derson St., north of Bradley Dr. Nor-Arm Developments Inc. has proposed 49 single family lots, 15 semi-detached lots (30 units) and 18 street townhouses. While the number and types of homes were not a major issue, issues such as increased traffic, increased street parking, upkeep of the proposed site, fencing and access from the subdivision to Anderson St. were the focus of the public forum. Councillors also voiced con- cerns on the Town's.behalf, in- cluding the preservation of trees in the area. "There are a number of very old and beautiful trees.on this site; they bring something very beautifulto the neighborhood," said councillor Marcel Brunelle. Recalling other occasions when developers had made a verbal commitment to preserve trees but later cut them down, Brunelle went as far as to sug- .est the developer give $2,000 oer tree to the Town, to be held in trust, as a guarantee the trees would go untouched. Several of the residents who spoke to the -propsed subdivi- sion recommended fencing along back of the development as a safetyprecaution for the neigh- borhood children. Some also suggested increased volume of traffic in the area from contruction trucks and other vehicles, as well as the possiblity of those vehicles parking on the existing streets, would also jeo- pardize the safety of the chil- dren. : After almost an hour of discus-. sion, committee was prepared to refer the application back to planning. However, just as the motion was presented, Sam Beckett of Nor-Arm rose to answer concerns delivered by Nurses 'rote FROM PAGE 30 extent, still exists today. "We know a little bit about everything - social work, psycho- logy, medicine. Our role cannot be clearly defined. We still look afterthe whole person and their emotional needs. Nurses, for years have always done what nobody else would do, today they have beco:ne educators. We have to feel good about ourselves and must have a voice in what can be done. "It wasn't until 1961 that nurses started going to team conferences. We haven't been looked upon as a particularily influential group. "Society needs nurses and we're unique in what we do. Caring is something you never lose. I think there's a lot of things that nurses can do that provide challenge and satisfac- tion." For herself, Allen has always tried to treat her patients with compassion and as individuals. "I didn't treat them like a slab of meat. "I think I've tried to keep up with the tilow. Nursing is a pro- fession you can't stand still in." Through it all she has sus- tained that special sense of com- mitment that kept her going through thick and thin. "There were lots of changes, some I haven't agreed with, some wonderful. If I had to enforce policy I would do it the most gentle wa I could. I've given my patients t e best I coul and I've learned a lot from them. I've learned to acce tpeople for what they are. I thin I ve een consis- tent in goin gthrough changes, growth, and development. "Maybe I've had some in- fluence in the lace. Althou h I've put some effort through t e changes, I don't take full credit for it. If you're going to affect change, you have to do it at the right time." Is this the dawn of the "right time» for nurses? They continue to play an unquestionably vital role as the caregivers at Whitby Ps ch.* There are now 360 patients in the hospital looked after by a nursing staff of 326. residents and the committee members. In an effort to avert the delay of approval for the subdivision, Beckett said Nor-Arm was wil- ling to comply with the local concerns, running down the list and agreeing to attend to every- thing, including preservation of trees. In response to Beckett's new proposal Whitby planning direc- tor Bob âhort recommended that committee approve the applica- tion, with some variations to Beckket's promises. Short suggested the plan be revised to include: - no more than 81 single deta- ched homes; - the frontages of the homes on Ribblesdale Dr. be extended to a minimum of 15 feet; - that Nor-Arm prepare and submit for approval, an proposal for tree preservation; - ·that the developer agree to ay for any existing dama e to encing on the sout side ofthe development; - that Nor-Arm seek a tempor- ary entrance from Anderson St. to the contruction site for the contruction crews as well post a sign instructing crew workers not to park on the existing streets; - planning department, through bylaw enforcement, ensure that the developer main- tain the property as well as revive all barb-wire fencing sur- rounding the perimeter of the pro sed subdivision site. Committee accepted the direc- tor's recommendations and approved Nor-Arm's application. Earlier in the meeting, com- mittee referred four other sub- division rezoning applications back to planning department for further investigation. SPLASH OFF... FOR HEALTHY LUNGS.
