To be developed in stages over the next several years, t he park will dramatically alter the appearance of the grounds sur- rounding the municipal office. According to the master con- cept plan adopted by council, the park will consist of a series of gardens2 pedestrian walkways, a terraced c anopy, a "common green" and exhibit area. The terrace will feature dis- play walls for mounting civic awards, a small reflecting pool, and water jet. 1 013 Dundas St. E..IS bayirnarine Bidig That applications to amend the Whtby and Durham Region officiai plans to permit a 258-unit subdivision on a 33-acre site near Thickson Road and Burns Street be approvedi.

One com ponent could be left ou t an d repi aced with something else if the new feature does not detract froni the overall appearance, he explained. As a staff report notes, the idea for a municipal gardens stemmed froni an "«over designa- tion" of parkland in the agree- ment for the nearby Bradley North subdivision. Tie developer, the Grand Oak Group, was repinsible for onlyta portion of the site, but agreedto integrate its required design work within the municipality's plans for the ove-all area.
