subdivision proposal have been swept under the planning rug sleepy hollow resident judy scala lambasted officials last week for a lack of considera tion to our very real concerns after discovering the developer of hill top trail subdivision was going ahead with a zoning amendment without notifica tion to nearby residents why do citizens have to fight council are you afraid of stepping on someones toes because if youre afraid to do the job perhaps you shouldnt be here an angry and frustrat ed scala told officials scala representing homeown ers in the sleepy hollow estates subdivision says sever al proposed lots in an expan sion of the sleepy hollow coun try club should be scrapped from the plan because of then- close proximity to the golf course i dont care what anybody says this development is a scam scala said scala added the residents are concerned with one lot in par ticular which is situated in a golf ball hitting zone this is a lifethreatening danger and a hazard she said developers have asked the town to allow several of the estate lots to be under the two- acre minimum lot requirement and are willing to go to the ontario municipal board for approval but scala urged officials to defer the plan and asked them to request the developer screen the lot or put up protection from flying golf balls but developer steve smith said he has already bent over backwards for neighboring res idents and claims hes addressed their original con cerns of the one lot the club has spent a lot of money and we thought we addressed all the issues now were being asked to address different issues smith said he added nothing in the plans are legally incorrect and said the residents will never be sat isfied with revised proposals officials agreed to defer the matter for two weeks to allow
