PAGE 10, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1979, WHITBY FREE PRESS Bokin sewer & water report to go to public in 2 weeks Cont'd from P. 1 Brooklin to a population of 2,300 persons. The Second approach dealt with a possible growth to a population of 10,000 "which would require a complete trunk sewer system and con- nection to lower Whitby as well as linking the existing water supply system to the Garrard -Road Reservoir." It was explained that if the consideration was given to the growth pattern of 10,000 persons it would be an idea to consider a growth pattern of a population of 25,000 people for Brooklin; so that the water and sewer services would be usuable for a least 50 years. The Consolidated Building Corporation (CBC), owners of 1,200 acre of land in the Brooklin area has "offered as part of their proposal to install at their cost a local' sewer main system, inclu- ding connections to the resi- dential lot-lines, to serve the existing parts of Brooklin," Mr. Richardson siad during the presentation of the report. "This benefit to the local resident has been estimated at $1.5 million to $1.8 million although these figures have Joan Wesley is pleased to a nnounce the a ppointment of Gretta Shutka C.T.C. as General Manager Gretta bring's with her many years of experience, backed by Certificates, ln several courses in thefield of Travel. not been substantiated. Since the report assumes that Brooklin will continue to be serviced by private sewage disposal- (septic tanks), these costs have therefore been excluded from the present analysis." Mr. Richardson pointed out that the report, which is a joint report of the Finance, Planning and Works Com- mittees of the Region of Durham, states growth to 10,000 people represents ex- treme "leap-frog" develop- ment in Brooklin at this time. It is recommended that the developer be required as a condition of approval to absorb all on-site work, the cost of related water and sewer facilities including new trunk facilities sized for a population of 25,000, the cost of installing a local sewer main to serve the existing parts of Brooklin and full development levies" If this arrangement with the dev.eloper, Consolidated Building Corporation, cannot be achieved the report re- commends a limited growth for Brooklin. "This would involve im- proving the existing water supply to allow for growth to approximately 2,300 per- sons," for Brooklin. It was pointed out if the extensive growth is not a, proved, the Study Group re- commends that improve- ments be made to the exist- ing water supply in Briooklin to provide sufficient capa- city and adequate fire pro- tection and peak load requi- rements for the existing po- pulation. Such improve- ments would permit limited growth within Brooklin to a total population of approxi-- matey 2,300 persons." At one point during the' presentation with a welter of figures being discussed in regards to costs and popula- tion growth Mayor Gart- shore said, "two million four i lth twilnlRl is b12 Success hundred thousand dollars is already spent for services and the services are already there. Somebody at some time has to pay." Cont'd from P. Rover Scouts to Expo 67. Mr. Edwards introduced Benny LaHaye, the leader of the trip, who has participated in the twinning since then. Mr. Edwards presented a gift to Richard Daigle, the past-president of the twin- ning association of Lon- gueuil. Lieutenant-Governor, Pauline McGibbon toid the gathering she was very. honored to be at the opening of Whitby's l1th twinning with Longueuil. "This is a celebration that we are one- we are Cana- dians,' she said. "I wish you well for this weekend; bonne chance, aurevoir." Scott Fennell, MP for Ont- ario Riding stressed that Canada must stay together, and the twinning between Longueuil and Whitby is something for both cornmu- nities to be proud of. He also read a letter of greeting from Prime Minister Joe Clark. Mrs. Marjorie Gartshore presented flowers to the Lieutenant-Governor, and Mr. Wallace red a telegram from Durham West MPP OMB approves houses for seniors George Ashe. Foilowing the official ceremonies the twinners went to a dinner at the Chalet Restaurant and a dance at the Whitby Yacht Club. Other events included a visit io Parkwood, the R.S. McLaughlin estate in Osha- wa, a King Henry VII feast in Toronto, and tours of the Lynde House Museum and Whitby Arts Station Gallery. Those who participated reported that the 1979 twin- ning was "the best ever, between Whitby and Lon- gueuil. ya n Cont'd from P. 1 OMB report this finding was supported by the town's chief planning officer. The report stated neither the region nor the town tendered any substantial evi- dence in opposition to the project. The Manning Mews Non- Profit Homes Corporation proposed to make better use of available vacant land to the west of the church and provide needed accommoda- tion for senior citizens. Five buildings were pro- posed, four of which are to Park to be renamed During the Official Open- ing of the present Centennial Park Brock Street south, on June 23 it will be renamed Rotary Centennial Park. The Recreation Director's report to Council states that the.Official Opening of the remodelled park is schedu- led for 2:30 p.m. on June 23, with, the first band concert being presented by the Whitby Brass Barnd. As the present park Cen- tennial Park is nearing its completion Recreation Dir- ector Wayne DeVeau states in his report that it "will be a beautiful redeveloped park." As the Rotary Club has made an excellent contribution to the Town," it was felt that some recognition should be considered. The cost of the project has been $225,000 and the Rotary Club has provided approxima tely $155,000 toward the cost of the Centennial Park's redevelopmnt. .:::$$ :$$$$$$$: ::::.S:iig: NOW IS THE TIME TO REPAIR THAT BROKEN WINDOW< OR SCREEN FOR FAST EFFICIENT REPAIRS AT COMPETITIVE PRICES VISI T Wanda & Tony Martin at THE COMPLETE HARDWARE STORE DOMINION HARDWUARE 319 BROCK ST.

Ramps and walkways were poposed to give each unit direct outside access. Parking for 16 vehicles will be provided. Saturday The reminder of the cost has been covered through grants received from Win- tario and the Provincial Community and Recreation Centres Act. As the existing policy of the Council is that major contributions to parks be recognized and this is ac- complished by naming parks after the contributing asso- ciation. The recommendation for- warded to Council and which was approved at the regular meeting of Council last week, was that Council ap- prove the renaming of Cen- tennial Park to Rotary Cen- tennial Park for their out- standing contribution. In a sense the name Cen. tennial Park is not being changed; it is just adding the name of the Club that helped to redevelope the park to the present name making it "Ro- tary Centennial Park." The Council approved the recommendation as the name Rotary is being added to the present Centennial Park name it is not giving the present park a comple- tely new game. ,en C:7
