WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1981, PAGE 3 Big debate tomorrow.. Planning eommittee gives green li*ght to Brooklin Contrary to the advice of their senior staff, the region's planning com- mittee wiil recommend that the hamlet of Brooklin be allowed to grow into a town of 10,500 people. This recommendation is to corne before today's meeting of Durham Regionai Council which is expec- ted 'to pass the recom- mendation after a long and loud debate. At its meeting iast week, the planning committee made the recommendat.ion after staff submitted a long, detailed report that cails the development premature and that it could cost the region as mudli as $5.6 million. Aiso before the regional councillors was a report from the finan- ce and public works departments that ciaimed the develop- ment will be a $2.69 million boost for the region. The only member of the committee to vote against the recommen- dation was Regional Councillor Bruce McAr- thur (Oshawa), who said that the proposai would only steal developmnent away from his and other municipalities. After thqe meeting Regional1 Chairman Gary Herremna'said he was pleased with the recommendation saying that Durham needs housing and industry. He added that the Brooklin development will bring both to the regeion. One of the major con- cerns expressed was the ability 0f First City Pool opens on June 19 On June& 19, area children will again be able Lo take a swim in the outdoor Kinsmen Pool. The pool will be filled on that particular Friday ready for another season accor- ding to the Town of Whitby's director of parks and recreation Wayne DeVeau. DeVeau said that repair work on the 30- year-old pOQl is progressing and that a ieak in the main drain has been located and repaired. Voluneers from the surrounding neigli- bourhood organized a work party last weekend to paint and repair parts of the Chestnut Street facility. The residents' en- thusiasm and offer of help was probabiy what prompted the town to keep the facility open. A report prepared by DeVeau's department said that the pool needed about $70,000 worth of repairs and improvements if it was to open this season. However, Whitby Town Council decided that it did net have the funds to undertake Lhe work and was to vote to close the facility until the suggestion was made that local service organizations be contac- ted Lo see if they were willing to help. DeVeau added that the pool's heating and change rooms will be ready in time for the opening in fine days' time. OUR JUNE SALE WITH SAVINGS Up TO 50% AND NO SALES TA) Upholstery Reg.

W., Oshawa (416) 576-6465 Mon., Tues.. Wed. 10-6 - Th urs., Fri. 10-9 - Sat. 10-5 I Development Cor- poration Ltd., the developer, to attract new residents and in- dustries to the region. Dr. Mofeed Michael, the region's com- missioner of planning, said that he does flot believe that current market conditions will allow First City to begin construction. Somer Rumm, senior vice-president of First City, said that lis firm will use aggressive sales tactics to attract new home buyers. He also told the com- - mittee that municipalities to the north and west of Metropolitan Toronto are experiencing a faster growth rate than Durham. Rumm said that this situation shows that there is a market for new homes just'outside the city limits of Toron- to and that ail that is needed is to get these people to buy in Durham rather than in either of York or Peel regions. To prove his dlaimn that the company wiii aggressively seli Brookiin, Rumm produced brochures for the committee con- taining large adver- tisements for industriai lots in the hamlet. The brochure also said that First City will begin to construct executive-type homes in 1982. Should regional coun- cil approve the development, First City will probably have to plead its case before the Ontario Municipal Board to get final ap- provai because two other development f jr- ms and two Oshawa politicians have said they wiii take their case against the deveiop- ment to that body. Should the develop- ment get ail the required approvals, First City lias promnised to construet trunk water supply and sewer ser- vices to Brooklln at an estimated cost of $8.2 million. Both regionai public works officiais and Brooklin residents have said that the improved sewer services are needed to combat septic tank problems. Residents have aiso claimed that creek water and sewage pools are a health hazard, however, officiais from the Durham Regional Heaith Unit have said that this is not the case.
