The site plan ap- plication was made for the property, now vacant and zoned residential, by Durham Christian Homes Inc. The building as proposed would contain 124units. The site plan indicates that the building will be the first of several on the site. After comment from the public works depar- tment, Whitby planning department says no parking will be allowed along Glen Hill Dr. The department will review on-site parking for future developments at the site. The site plan was also revised to meet fire department concerns. The developer will pay the Town develop- ment levies totalling $155,000 ($1,250 for each of the 124 units) and park levies totalling $31,000 ($250 for each of the 124 units) before a building permit is issued. Licensing bylaw paves way for limousine service Costain students will be bussed Students in the Costain devèlopment area of Whitby will be bussed to E.A. Fairman beginning the next school year until a new school is built, accor- ding to proposal by the Durham Board of Education. The French immer- sion program at Fair- man will be relocated to F.M. Heard next year, if the proposal is adopted. Meanwhile students now at F.M. Heard will attend Whitby Senior School, which would become a kindergarten to Gr. 8 school after reconstruction and renovation. Heard would also require some renovation under the plan, which received the most support of three alternatives presented by board planners at a meeting last week. A new school in the Fallingbrook sub- division for Costain development students is on the board's capital forecast list for 1989. Lewis Morgulis,, the boards' deputy planner, said there will be enough students for a new school for the Costain development when there are 1200 units in the area. The Costain development is located north of Rossland, east and west of Anderson St. About two-thirds of students from the Costain area, west of Anderson, now attend F.M. . Heard Public School, it was men- tioned at the meeting. The remaining students from east of Anderson - 42, according to Morgulis - now go to Fairman. Some parents disputed the figures given and asked for a population study. "Students will not be moved from E.A. Fair- man until Costain school is built," said Ian Brown, Whitby trustee who chaired the meeting, in reply to a concern by a parent that children will again be moved after this plan is implemented. By MIKE JOHNSTON A request from two residents of Whitby to start up a limousine service has forced the Town to update its licensing bylaw. While the existing bylaw makes a passing reference to limousines, the town has never licensed a limousine "perse." The amendment to the bylaw came about.as a result of discussions with the town's two taxi companies and contact with area municipalities who have had experien- ce with limousines. Tie request to start the service came from Joe Labriola and Vince Marino. In a letter to the town they stated that they would like to run a "super stretch limousine" in the Whit- by area which would be used as "special oc- casion" type ·of tran- sportation. A report from the clerk's department states that the updated regulations: "Safeguard the in- terest of the public wishing to use limousine services for public con- veyance; "Ensure limousine services do not compete for the same customers as the town's established taxi in- lustry," and "are reflective of the unique nature of the limousine business." The fee for a limousine owner's lieence will-be $10 while the fee for the driver's licence also being $10. The regulations in- clude: No limousine being equipped with a taximeter; No identification other than provincial motor vehicle permit plates on a limousine. The liiiiisine driver refraining from snoking while driving any passenger or passengers except when permitted to do so by ail passengers (this rule also applies to cab drivers).
