Meeting set for June 17 for controversial plan rommde Stibo mt ie Planners sav some of the _ developers have come up _ rural r()d(,j““-", The plunfu}h of the fall when more people would be tuned into such a controversial issue. Continued from page 1 Planning representatives for the developers presented their reworked draft plan of subdivision and zone change applications to the public, spelling out their response to the first public open house held last September. * The original plan had up to 1,784 new residential units added to the west side, but that maximum number has been reduced to 1,618 sinâ€" gles, semis, townhouses and multiâ€"residential housing units featuring wider lots, bigger roadways and more substantial buffers to natural areas. The concern was the developers were "packing them in like sardines," said Ginny Quinn, a member of Citizensâ€"for the Protection of the Waterloo Moraine, who attended both meetings. In addition to the lower projected density of the three developments that sit on the rolling hills of the Waterloo moraine, which supplies Waterloo Region with 75 per cent of its groundwater, there were also concerns about the impervious ground cover on top of what they said is an important recharge area. _--‘.-fl‘l*fl“m‘fl_flhc'”-‘ Cllshuilronsisalbriineimeiemrenape Ved waived.

But Quinn still had quesâ€" tions about the total percentâ€" age of the property that would be impervious. Indicaâ€" tions are there won‘t be any restrictions other than a requirement to have a perâ€" centage of the property landâ€" scaped. She and others were pushing for the city and developers to look at restricâ€" tive covenants on the title of the homes that would keep homeowners from adding more impervious ground covering, like outdoor patios, after they move in. More importantly, she said, those restrictions would be on the title of the home so that once it changes ownerâ€" ship the new homeowners would also have to abide by the restrictions. The concern is about rain runoff, and how that would affect the amount of water getting to recharge areas.

But CPMW member David Wellhauser, who recently launched an "OMB" appeal of the Region of Waterloo‘s new Environmenâ€" tally Sensitive Landscape plan to have more areas like Vista Hills included in the designation, said this system is not the equivalent of nature‘s way of reclaiming and cleaning water before it ends up in the area‘s aquifers. That process can take up to 40 years, and doesn‘t carry all the chemicals and other things present from roof runoff, he explained. Wellhauser said that legisâ€" lation to protect source water is coming up for final reading at Queen‘s Park, and wonâ€" dered if the westâ€"side develâ€" opment wasn‘t being rushe through because of it. Wilmot Line resident Deb Swidrovich was also conâ€" cerned about the potential increase in traffic along the WWW.AMYAWNINGSIGNS.COM smnalO/ 6 Almamey oA natnentt‘ .7 ~' ;â€"-n-.u-â€"-.--mnuâ€"n-â€"qâ€" -“fiw-hl.“nh_-‘“‘fi\ rural roadway. The plan calls for restricted access along the Wilmot Line, but she argued it will eventually find the path of least resistance. As it stands the vehicle traffic on some parts of the Wilmot Line is already at 800 vehicles per day, which would require the region to review the safe operation and maintenance of the roadway. Hreight and PDof $1.564 are due "There‘s alreadyâ€" an increase of traffic there," said Swidorvich, concerned about the potential environmental impact on the Laurel Creek headwaters ESL on the other side of the Wilmot Line. "I‘m concerned that those numbers are a lot higher than they presented to regional council, and I‘ve written a letter to tell them that." Swidrovich and Quinn also suggested the developâ€" ers had a unique opportunity to get future homeowners to buy into preserving the natuâ€" ral environment. "It‘s something that will keep the subdivision safe for them and their children," said Swidrovich. "It will proâ€" tect the aquifers." i visit our NEW LOCATION EEsEseeeeeeeeeeeeee en UUUUI LC Aharaice cated Packi Conditions apply. Ex Toronto u-qnumh-mm-t-mm Pockage.
