Gordon Thompson, executive vice-president with Perez, had been optimistic about receiving approval for the 223-unit sub- division after administrative committee had approved it, by a vote of 2-1, on Wednesday niglit last week. I was surprised," said Thomp- son after council's vote Monday. "I have no other alternative. I will be appealing with the mun- icipal board tomorrow morning (Tuesday). We are cauglit in a political argument. If there was no (upcoming municipal) election this wouldn't have happened," Thompson added. Councillors criticized the corporation for selling the units te investors before approaching Whitby residents. SCouncil heard that of the 223 units, only 22 remained unsold. Besides objecting te, the met- hod of selling the units, some councillors questioned its impact on the area. Councillor Joe Drumm. sug- gested that four low-rise apart- ment buildings, each containing 50 units, would be botter suited for the corner.

Twenty-nine persons have re- ceived the award since its incep- dion. subdivision on sehools in the area. I don't see any urgency. in this, we should satisfy ourselves that this is the best site plan," said Bugelli. Mayor Bob Attersley agreed, and wanted te know what impact the subdivision would have on schools. I have a difficulty with this socially," said Attersley who, in the past, was also critical of Per- ez selling the units te investors before receiving any approval from council. Councillor Ross Batten noted that the land for the subdivision has been zoned medium density since 1973. I stili don't think this is the best development for the main street. But the officiai plan says it can be there so we are compefled te approve it,' said Batten. Mayor Attersley and councillors Drumm, Bugelli and Tom Edwards voted against the subdivision while councillors Bat- ten,, Gerry Emm and Marcel Brunelle voted in favor of the subdivision. After the vote, council approved a resolution te be sent te the honorable Chaviva Hosekt, Minister of Housing, stating that the council is concerned with the marketing of intended condo- minium units prior te ay council approval.
