PAGE -8, WHTBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1988 1 0 Committee approves two major developments A $300-million office and commercial complex by Graywood Developments, north of Rosland Rd., was one of two major developments approved by Whitby administrative com- mittee as part of a six-hour marathon meeting Monday night, the committee's last meeting before summer break. The complex, to be called Durbam Heights, wilI include 1.7 million sq. ft. of office space, 300,000 sq. ft. of retail space and 1,000 sq. ft. of high density residential space, ail on 60 acres of land north of Rossland Rd. and west of Garden St. The other development is a subdivision bounded by Garden St. to the west, Taunton, Rd. to the north, 'Dryden Blvd. to the soutb and Anderson St. to the east by Group' 2 Development Ltd. and River Relty Development Ime. Arcbitect of Durbam Heigbts, Ray Moriyania, wbo previously designed the Town's municipal building and is also designing the Town's new recreation complex, said the complex will not draw shoppers who would normally go downtown. He added the complex will create 5,000 to 6,000 jobs. He said there will be one street running north-south through the middle of the complex which will have 12-ft. wide' sidewalks on esch side accompanied with two rows of trees. The three roads running east-west will have 10-ft. wide sidewalks, each with a single row of trees. "AIl parking, with the exception of retail and visitor parking, will be underground," Moriyama told committee. Gamnet Watchorn, president of Graywood, said construction. would«take seven to 10 years to complete. But he told committee that as soon as council approval is given, the shopping areas will be the first phase of the cornplex. "We would like to start that as soon as possible - tomorrow, if we could get a building pemt. We now have merchants redyto go in," he said. Planning staff were directed to report back to committee on the complex in September. Committee approval was given to the Group 2 subdivision, despite objections fromn residents living on Anderson St. Besides 465 siiàgle> family dwellings and 54 link dwellings, the subdivision will include a senior~ citizens block, a separate secondary and- elementary school, a church, a public elemnentary school, a district park and a commercial area.

But residents of Anderson St. said that despite having two meetings with the deeopers, they are still opposed to the subdivision. "This end result is anytbing but acceptable. We are not prepared to be overrun," said Ted Reilly of 3620 Anderson St. He said the devlopment ýwill have an impact on Pringle Creek which runs through properties on Anderson St. 'We could be looking at a dry creek during tbe summer," he said, adding that wells in the area may also be affected. But commitee members pointed out Group 2 will pay for the installation of water connection charges to bring water in from the street line. Residents said tbey appreciated the water but they requested a full study on the effects on the flow of Pringle Creek. Residents also asked for compensation from the developer for hardships' during the estimated five years it will take to complete the subdivision. 'We are not prepared to get into compensation.

Goar said the developer will start construction at Anderson and work Westerly 'to "get away fromn the residents" as quick as possible. Grant Andrews, the Durham Region separate school board's superintendent of business, said. the board would like to have the, eleïnentary school open by September, 1989 and the two-story high school the following year. 'We would like to start construction in February 1989,-' he said, adding that the Province bas 'allocated nioney for both schools. Administrative committee approved the subdivision while at the same time operations coin mittee gave approval to the reconstruction of -Anderson :St. from Glen Dhu. Dr. to Dryden Blvd. at a cost of $1.1 million. The work will be paid for by developers in the area but the Town will contribute $114,500 towards the work.' Treasurer AI Claringbold told committee the amount is an overexpenditùre but the Town dQes have the money on hand. Ife said the Town cari collect those funds from future developers.. He said the money would be part of any negotiations between * developers and the Town in the area and it "may be more difficuit to get council approval." if the developer does not agree to pay. Committee approved the reconstruction. Restaurant to b.e expanded A proposed expansion of the. One-Stop Drive-In Restaurant on.
