For. the surey ta be meaningful, a go level Of resdent participition is needed so that Whitby can confldently identify the municipality's future housing needs.

Opposition to apartet FROM PAGE 1 Hie tald members 0f Town council's planning and develop- ment committee the owner is anxious ta develop tiie property and was submitting a "'comprom- ise solution». But nearby homeowners wan- ted no part of it. Previously expressed concerns about trafflc congestion, tii. im- pact on schools, recreation and other services were repeated. Several residents again war- ned about the crime and socal p robleme that would be created Dysuch a high concentration of people in one area. Maureen Me1Aarey of Byron St. N., who helped collect 500 names on a petition against the. proposai, saidi the revised appli- cation is no botter. "We're stili talking 600 units, tbat's our biggest complaint,» said McAlarey. Elaine Ghamne of Waywell St. claimed the development woulcl reduce the. value of single-family homes in the vicinity. «]ma rosi estate broker, Pv. seen it happen i Scarborough,» said Ghanie who suqested the officialpa echngata permit singlelanilly dwellii - <Whitby's officiai an a docu- ment wlucii establihes land use policies in a murnicipality, desig- nates the ares as high density residential.) Councillor Ross Batten com- mittee chairman, relieci that council cannot fimit huig in Whitby ta single detached units even if it chose ta do so. "W. need ta bave higiier density housing, whether town- bouses or apartments, ta achiove proper planning,» said Batten. "WeYre now in a position ta implement bigiier density in tis, area ... at some oint in time w., have ta say it ha ta go some- where2ý Batten said that since tis, tpofdevelopment is permiîtted udegrjtiffh_ içiL n, the. owI.r,.- might seek recourse thro gh the Ontario Municipal BoaÏr (0B) if council does not have valid reasons for rejecting it. However, Batten added that he was not pre-judging the applica- tion. But ho did take exception ta comments that high-density housing is a breeding ground for crime. "Oriminal elements are found Within ail municipalities. I take grave exception ta any sugges- tion that high density areas are responsible -or crime," said Bat- ton. Sharon Williams of Limestone Cres. disagreed. Williams said she bas lived in ail types of housing and high- density areas always have a hig- ber crime rate. «People don't care as much in rentai units as those who own their homes,." said Williams. Robert Brewerton of Waywell St., said that by combining the proposai with the Pérez Co deveIopment to the south «almost five per cent of the total population of Whitby is within two blocks.» Ho argued that Whitby cannot afford ta have such a bigh con- centration of people in one loca- tion. One unidentified man com- plained about existinq, traffic probleme "and this density is not even there yet.» The. man suggested that if -the zoniýig -was changed to medium- density and tawnliouses built i a si1ar fashion té tbe Perez dev lopment, it would b. a «fir com imse.» «I think it's a foregone conclu-ý siorî t wilfl go to the 0MWB either wat» ho added.
