Whitby Free Press, Wednesday, October le,1995, page 9 Garbage experiment lauded by Brun e PROM PAGE 1 requested a report fr-om Region staff on the impact of Whitby's deal with Pebblestone. "I want ta know if theres any lost revenue ta, the Rengion and, if Dy Steve Leaby Monday might a public meeting was ta be held about the proposed zoning bylaw changes for much of Brooklin's older residential and commercial areas. Many of the. changes are minor but smre are major,, for example, changing a residential area to mixed use ta permit commercial development. Not everyone knows about the proposed changes because the Town of Whitby does flot have ta inform anyone who lives more than 120 metres outaide of the area affected - other than putting a notice in a newspaper (flot thus one). This dooesn't mean you won't be affected by the. changes. If, for exanple, the zoming changes allow a plaza, then those living a lot more than 120 metres away may find themmelves picking litter out of their gardens, dealing with increasing traffic, noise and so on. As far as the Town is concerned, the new bylaws are good for Brooklin. Unless residenta. say otherwise, aIl of the changes will become law before the end of the year. Yes, smre of the changes are minor, and, depending on your viewpoint, some are good for Brooklin and some are bad. But it makes sense to find out before if's too late ta make changes. You can get a copy of the proposed bylaw at the. planning department at the municipal; building (itfs free) or oei 668-5803. And it isn't too late ta officially register your viewpoint on any of the changes. Things are moving very quickly on this issue, se residenta need to act fast. It isn't very satisfing ta hear an officialsay "I wimh we'd known about your objection when we could have made changes. Im sorry, but now its too late."
