WFI1TBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESI)AY, MARCH Il-, 1980, PAGE S Brooklin peolple say sewers are needed The message from Brooklin residents came acroSs loud and clear. The main issue for them is not w'het.her or not Whitby's for- thern hamlet grows to a population of 10,000 but whether they get sewers. Over 120 people attended a public meeting to dlscuss the Brooklln officiai plan amen- dment proposai at the Brooklin Community Centre last week. The residents complained that, what they said was six years of inaction by coundl, bas resulted in the un- tolerable sewage disposai problemns they now suffer. The public meeting was cailed by Centre Ward Councillor Barry Evans, chairrnan of the town's ad- ministrative committee to receive public comment on the draft to the town's of- I ficiai plan. Rene Thiebaud, who ran against North Ward Coun- cilor Bob Carson in the iast municipal election, accused coundil of "perfect incom- petence" in delaying its decision. Making reference to a comment by Regionai Coun- cilor Bob Attersiey that Brooklin is the biggest decision that, any municipality in Durham Region wiil make he said "if it is such a big decision, why take six years? " "If any businessman took six years to make a decision, he wouid go bankrupt. " Thiebaud said that the village is desparate for sewers. "It is a sewer we need in this town," he said. "Some places can't even put in a septic tank because the land is saturated with water ail year round. " "We have houses being flooded and we have had this probiem a long time here. " John Dryden, who said that he had once been op- posed to the deveiopment scheme urged councilors to "walk through town some night when the atmospheric conditions are right" and smeil the backed up sewage. "Take a nasal obser- vation, " he said. Dryden said that heaith department officiais have not heard many complaints from area residents because "people are frightened to go to them because ail the ruies and regulations make it prohibitive." Most people either fix the probiem themseives or lzarn to live with it, Dryden said. A man who bought a house in the hamiet seven years ago said that the lack of sewers was a "disgrace". His backyard had become "a iake" since water began backing up into it a year af- ter moving in, he said. Developer says he will take town to 0MB The Town of Whitby may bave to defend its decision to expand the K-Mart Plaza before the Ontario Municipal Board. A group of Kendalwood Road residents and the developer of Brooklin are threatening the action. First City Deveopments, the parent company of the Brooklin developer Con- solidated Building Com- pany, bas already notified the town by letter that it plans to challenge the ex- pansion before the 0MB. First City is the owner of shopping centre designated lands across from the Woolco Mail at Dundas and Thickson streets and has claimed that the K-Mart ad- dition would undermine or delay the need for a shop- ping centre on their lands. Two Kendalwood Road residents appeared before the administrative commit- tee last week to protest the location of a proposed restaurant in the new centre and to ask that improvemen- ts to the lightening and fen- cing guarantees against odours from the restaurant be made. Devon Enterprises Inc., the developer, bas agreed to make these improvements through the installation of refiectors on parking. lot lights to keep the giare Mv1ay from resident's homes.- They aiso agreed to instal a fence, as opposed' to a hedge, along Kendalwood Road and to instal; an air filter system in the restaurant to control odour. The residents request to move the restaurant 20 feet back from the front of the lot wil aiso be granted. The committee has recommended that the ex- pansion go ahead and the plans only need council's approvai before it is submit- ted to the 0MB. East Ward Councillor Joe Druxnm, who represents the Kendalwood area bas ad- vised residents not to carry their protest to the 0MB. Drumrn said that their protest could resuit in the loss of gains aiready made. Drumm called the First City objection as "'ironic" saying, 1"It is rather odd that the guy who wants to leave others out in the cold by developing Brooklin, is saying he is being lef t in the cold.
