WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 3. 1978, PAGE 9 Planning summary shows more growth in 1978 as new subdivisions proceed By BRIAN WINTER Staff Writer There was plenty of build- ing activity in Whitby in 1977 and more is expected in 1978, as the town experienced its largest population growth in more than 15 years. Planning is a continuing process and many of the developments started in 1977 will be expanded in 1978. The following is a summary of what was done last year and what to expect this year, as set out by Planning Director Kevin Tunney: In 1977, there w( -e 350 homes built west of Lynde Creek in the Otter Creek subdivision. This year Mr. Tunney expects these homes to be complete and all occu- pied. Also, 200 more homes will be built between the east and west branches of the creek, wcst of Cochrane Street. In 1977, the Bradley South subdivision by the curling club was completed. and al- .most totally occupied. Plans of subdivision have been ap- proved for the lands between this subdivision and Garden Street. Mr. ~Tunney expects the plan for this subditision will be registered and servicing will start in 1978. About 200 homes should be built here in 1979-80, he says. In 1977, 75 homes were completed in the College Downs subdivision, south of the Ontario Ladies' College and 50 were occupied. Plans for 1978-79 call- for 125 more homes to be constructed. A strongly competitive market in the area bas kept sales down in this subdivision, says Mr. Tunney. Farewell Estates is a sub- division south of Kendalwood and Powell Roads, which will consist of 115 single family homes. Mr. Tunney expects the plan to be regis- tered and servicing start in 1978, with construction be- ginning in 1979. Nearby will be Whitby Towne Estates, south of the K Mart and west of Kendal- wood Road. Final Ontario Municipal Board approval was obtained for this sub- division in 1977, and upheld by the Ontario Cabinet. Mr. Tunney expects registration and servicing to be complet- ed in 1978, and construction would start in 1979. The Paramount South sub- division is located between Garden and Anderson Streets and extends from Mary Street to Manning Road. In 1977, permits were taken out for 100 homes to be completed in 1978, along with an additional 30 or 40 homes, says Mr. Tunney. In the same area is West- dale Estates, on Hazelwood Drive north "Uf Manning Road. Ontario Municipal Board approval for 130 single family homes was obtained in 1977, and c6nstruction will start in 1978. Servicing is alredy underway for this subdivision. Delaney and Grassmere developments will build 48 single family homes east and west of stewart street in -1978, says Mr. Tunney. Markborough pr-operties owns a large tract of land east of Thickson Road and south of Manning Road. Mr. Tunney expects servicing of this site to be completed in 1978, and construction of an undetemined number of houses to start in the fall. Peterhead Holdings will be servicing for 40 units west of Anderson Street in 1978, with construction to begin in 1979. The Cadillac Fairview sub- division. east of Cochrane Street and south of Rôssland Road has zoning and subdi- vision agreements yet to be finalized. Mr. Tunney hopes that serviing will start in 1978, with construction of 320 units to begin in 1979. Centre B. Investments is planning 17 single family homes to be built west of Centre Street, north of the CPR tracks. Construction could begin in 1978, says the planning director Denwood Holdings (Pit- field) is planning to build 77 freehold town houses east of Garden Street, north of the CPR. Servicing could begin in 1978 and construction in 1979. ' The Corvinelli subdivision south of Rossland Road be- tween the Oshawa boundary and Meadow Road will con- sist of 58 single family and semi detached houses. Mr. tunney expects zoffing, regis- tration and servicing in 1978, with construction to begin in 1979. Forster Developments is planning 51 single family homes east of Applewood Crescent, with servicing in 1978 and construction in 1979. Aldrovandi is planning 44 units of singles and semis on Dundas Street at the Oshawa boundary, with servicing to be completed in 1978, and construction starting in the fall, says Mr. Tunney. In 1977, Jack Jacobson constructed seven houses on Forest Road, al] of which are completed and occupied. B.H. Strong Ltd. is plann- ing 16 single family homes on the site of the old King Estate on Green Street, to start in 1978. In 1977, Consolidated Building Corporation com- pleted 120 town house units at Burns and Annes Streets and a number of single fami- ly homes are near comple- tion in the West Lynde sub- division near Burns Street. About a dozen more are expected in 1978. A number of plans will require public meetings in 1978, says Mr. Tunney. Further public meetings are required on Paridise Acres between the Hydro line and Elizabeth Crescent north of Dundas Street. This subdivision consists of 150 housing units and seven acres of commercial space. Presently there are objec- tions by area residents to the plan, but Mr. Tunney hopes to come up with a final plan in 1978. Public meetings will also be held on the Paramount subdivision east and west of Anderson Street, south of Manning Road; High City Holdings, east of Thickson Road and south of Bellwood; J. and D. Framing east -of Garrard Road and north of Dundas; and Lynde Creek Realty, west of the high rise apartments on Dundas Street, Public meetings will also be held on plans for the Consolidated Building Cor- poration property west of Thickson Road and south of Dundas Street. Fair site is. purchased The South Ontario Agricul- tural Society, confident that objections have been over- come, has purchased a 66- acre site on Garrard Road south-east of Brooklin. as a new site for the Oshawa Fair. The fair organizers expect the Ontario Municipal Board will approve the purchase, as only one objector remains out of about half a dozen who formerly opposed the reloca- tion of the fair to that site. The one objector is an "absentee landowner," says a fair board spokesman, and he does not expect the OMB to uphold the objection. OMB approval is expected to take up to six months, he said. The dates for this year's fair have been set at July 13, 14 and 15, and if OMB appro- val is not obtained in time, the fair will be held on a temporary site again this year. Last year it was held in September at the Brooklin Fair grounds. Representatives of the fair board have met with neigh- bouring property owners and appear to have settled their, objections about noise, dust, traffic and parking problems- VICTORIA and GREY TRUST KEITH LAWES Manager 308 Dundas St. W., Whitby 668-9324 Chequing Savings no service charge 0 l 0 Your family isavery special part of your life.
