*Beechwood :Waterloo‘s â€" premier development 119TH YEAR NO: 40 wEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1974 WATERLOO, ONTARIO * _ TA w s. x T 9e informed â€" council, Keats Way will be extended to meet Erbsville RKd. and Hallman Rd. will be deâ€" veloped to serve the centre of, the Beechwood Comâ€" The â€" Beechwood _ area, approximately 5.8 square miles in size, was first introduced in 1962 and enâ€" compassed 662 acres at that time in the Erb Stâ€" Hallman Rd. area. Acâ€" cording to both Kilpatrick and city engineer James Willis, the city sewage system can accommodate the expected growth in. the area without any problem. The design for the conâ€" cept was derived from work done by Kilpatrick in the City of London and the town of Kanata (on the outskirts of Ottawa). The unique design alâ€" lows for a system of peâ€" destrian ways which will centre, will be a high school, senior public school, separate â€" school, church, library, day care centre, clinic, _ park, _ recreation centre, and shopping complex. The core will consist of 80 acres and acâ€" cording to Mr. Kilpatrick, serve to connect the entire known as beechwood wili house close to 20,000 peoâ€" submitted to council Monâ€" day by Major Holdings and Developments Ltd., the subdivision â€" will â€" eventuâ€" ally be extended to the city Wilmot â€" Township bounâ€" munity. If plans submitted by Major Holdings meet city approval the subdivision ple in the next 10 to 15 years. .

Kilpatrick Oor link the community and provide access to the enâ€" tire area without the neâ€" cessity of vehicular trafâ€" fic. A linear park system will be incorporated in the â€" Beechwood concept to ensure each pneighbourâ€" hood will contain a three to five acre park site. The park land to be incorâ€" porated in the developâ€" ment will be twice the reâ€" quirements of the city under the official plan. The park system will, Kilpatrick said, link Cenâ€" tennial â€" Park with the Laurel â€" Creek â€" Conservaâ€" tion Area. Since the entire concept will be completed in phases, Major Holdings point out housing will be flexible. Presently â€" the _ proposed range of frontage for single family _ dwellings is between 40 and 70 feet while semiâ€"detached dwelâ€" lings may occupy between 60 and 70 feet of frontage. Multiple family dwellings, according to Kilpatrick‘s report, will range from row housing to apartments. The maximum â€" proposed site density for apartments will be 40 units per acre in, or adjacent to the core area. Major Holdings _ has expressed an: interest in providing housing for ‘"as wide a range of inâ€" come groups as possible" in the Beechwood concept and experimental â€" design and services will be enâ€" couraged. In the report, the develâ€" opers note the necessity of public participation in the project at the primary stage. ‘"No decision â€" can be made either individually or collectively which does not impinge to some extent on the other members of the community. Thus," the developer‘s report notes, ‘‘theâ€"community has an interest in not only what is to be achieved but in how it is to be achieved. The â€" community â€" should, therefore, be encouraged to develop its full social and . cultural _ potential and act as a resource from which are drawn valuable Close to 100 youngsters at Elizabeth Ziegler school in Waterloo participated in the school‘s flower and vegetable competition last week. The pupils spent the summer months tending their gardens to proâ€" duce some excellent arrangements and quality vegetables. Pictured are three of the prize winners.
