dunkeld said the costs of installing the flooring should be paid by groups holding special events ward 1 councillor ivanka bradley agreed having the flooring creates a number of possiblities for using the arena other than providing ice time we could hold rock concerts video dances and square dances bradley said ward 3 councillor nick tatone said although the flooring is being primar ily purchased to accommodate the home show other uses for the floor- jng shouldnt be ruled out maybe it should replace ice time tatone said with the purchase the town is looking at providing a whole new level of

has approved a zoning amendment which clears the way for the development of 48 lots in town but final approval depends on enough water and sewage capacity being found staff has been directed to change the zoning for the summer park subdivision from rural to residential low density to allow the devel opment to go ahead but the development which is owned by daste investments ltd faces a long delay because of a number of conditions which must be met before draft approval is given the final phase of the subdivision was put on hold in 1988 because of lack of sewer and water capacity development of the subdivi sions remaining 48 lots is contingent on approval from york region which must determine the availability of sufficient water capacity for the site the ministry of the environment must also confirm a previous finding that an additional sewage capacity for 1000 persons is avail able a report on stouffvilles sewage capacity prepared in april of 1991 says the towns sewage plant has a service population poten tial of at least 1 1000 an additional capacity of 1000 persons translates into an additional 263 residential units for the town said the towns director of public works paul white- house the towns water problem may not be as easy to solve however said mayor fran sainsbury she 48 more lots arent enough to justify the construction of another water tower while metering would help the town save water the task would be difficult to accom plish because of the trenching and ditching involved said sainsbury 5786 main st stouffville 6423655 dean myers body shop paint specials
