Box 176, Pickering, Stephen Development of Brooklin to a population of 10,000 will be the creation of a, new community that will offer an "alternative lifestyle" to the urban centres along the Lake Ontario shoreline, says plan- ning consultant Donovan Pinker. "We're really talking about a whole community, not just a subdivision or series of subdivisions tacked onto an existing hamlet," Mr. Pinker told council last week when he presented his final development proposal. "The new development will Solar heat is proposed Brooklin will become the first community in Ontario to use solar heat as an alternative source of·energy in its housing developments, if consultant Donovan Pinker's proposals are put into effect. Mr. Pinker, in a report to council, has asked for the maximum "passive" use of solar energy in the 2,500 housing units proposed for the expanded village. Passive use of solar energy means that houses will be oriented toward the south to take full advantage of the sun's rays. The streets would be arranged so that houses can absorb solar heat, with the windows on the north side limited in size. Such a proposal would result in a 40 per cent saving in heating costs, said Mr. Pinker. The principle is that the dwelling'units will act like greenhouses, he said. Mr. Pinker, who has worked on solar energy designs in Saudi Arabia, says that use of solar heat for Ontario homes will help re- lieve the impact of future fuel shortages from oil-pro- ducing countries in the Middle East. If oil shortages worsen, the Brooklin homes could be retro-fitted with rooftop solar panels to make them even more self-sufficient, he said. New Brooklin community is "alternative lifestyle" [~\t~ be in character and scale with the existing hamlet." Some of the features of the new Brooklin will be the first use of solar energy to heat homes in Ontario, and an industrial area to provide employment in the commu- nity, said Mr. Pinker. He also proposed a water- shed system using storm runoff to form lakes in the area. Whitby's town council.has already approved the hous- ing mix, which will consist of 76 per cent single family homes, 12 per cent semi- detached and townhouses and 12 per cent higher den- sity garden apartments. No buildings are projected to extend above the tree line, or church steeples, said Mr. Pinker. He further projected that the price range for Brooklin's new housing would be about 25 per cent higher than , in central Whitby, or about $86,000 for single family homes, $57,000 for semis and $35,000 for condominium apartments. Mr. Pinker's report states that shopping facilities should be restricted to the existing central commercial area. While the existing road system .in the area is ade- quate to serve the commu- nity, the town should ac- tively encourage the pro- vince to construct a Highway 12 bypass around Brooklin, said Mr. Pinker. He recommended that housing construction be carefully staged to avoid possible social and financial problems, and said extension of saniary sewers to serve the existing village should take place within three years. Mayor Jim Gartshore said that once a financial study on the cost of servicing the development is completed by Durham Region, further public comment on the Brooklin plan will be sought. He predicted it may take another year to complete the planning process. Development of Brooklin, once it gets started, is expec- ted to take about 10 vears WH MacDonald, 173 Springdale Cres., Oshawa.
