Although city planning director, Richard Dan- aiger, said no final deer. sion had been made on the path of the extension, city planning maps used at the meeting showed the link- up running south of War- rington Drive through pro- perty owned by Freure Homes Ltd. It the extension is carried out along this route, Mr. Freure's property will be cut into two halves. The northern half of the pro- perty will have no access on to Hallman Road except through a vacant lot own- ed by Freure that fronts on Warrington Drive. The workshop. organized by Peter Silveston and Martin Bush, is intended for those in the environmental and pollution fields including consultants. systems plan- ners, department managers and administrators of regu- latory agencies. Fee is $275 (plus $50 for Fortran instruction) and in- cludes a course manual and working materials. Addi- tional information is avail- able from Prof. M.J. Bush, Faculty of Engineering, 885-1211 ext. 3966.

But as Mr. Danziger re- marked to a reporter after the meeting, unwritten agreements between origin- al developers and residents are not legally binding on subsequent land owners. David Eby of 405 War- rington Dr. was one of the residents who protested strongly against the pro- posed extension route. "I was given a covenant by the city that there was to be a house built on the vacant lot. I live next door to it and I don't think there is any way you can put a road through it. However, that's the way it is going togo.reanfeelitinrny bones," he said. The proposed extension route is presently under consideration by regional planners because both roads are main trunk lines link- ing regional roads. James Willis, Waterloo city en- gineer, said the regional study should be completed in six to eight weeks. Mel Code, manager of planning, engineering and land development tor Freure Homes Ltd., said "Until we have the results of the regional study we can’t plan what we are going to do with these lands.

But we’re going to wait and see what the region decides about this area." Mr. Danziger said he had encouraged the region to plan a different route for the "I have indicated to the region to find another way to run the extension, if only tn save my own back. But no one can give you assur~ ance that access (from the Freure lands) will be per- mitted on to Mailman Road and University Avenue," he said. At this remark, someone from the audience called out to Mr. Code, “We'll buy the lot from you. If a house was there, the re- gion would have to give you access." Mayor Herb Epp promis- ed the residents that they would be allowed to express their opinions on the pro- posed extension at a later date before the final decision is made. However, only city and regional staff and a representative of Freure Homes Ltd. will be repre- sented on the committee that discusses the final de- cision. As the question period broke up, there were com- ments from the audience that the issue might be tak- en to the Ontario Munici- pal Board if the issue is not resolved in favour of the Warrington Drive resi- oo" . gowwodw‘lajo'xiéaw ' hk (066W 'pl' Y‘G‘ee ' . ‘91" .
