He said that should the decIsion, expected Jan. 11, anger the regidents, they wlll go to the 0MB. "And If we get what we want, the *bulider wIlli probabley go." Residents of Frost Street said that should the matter go to the 0MB they wouldn't have a "Iegal ieg to stand on." Carr added that they wouid peti tion on the grounds of compassion. At present the. resîdents have put" together two petitions. The f frst one calîls for the changing of the byiaw which allows' the, developers, Grossmhan, Bleeman, J. Silver Holdings Ltd., to build townhouses on the 4.4 acre piece of land abut- tlng Lynde Creek. It was slgned by 83 Ot- ter Creek resîdents. "We'il take the same approach wlth the 0MB as we, have with the town," said Carr. "We're saylng that It was a mîstake ln the tirst place to pass a byiaw that will allow the construction of those townhouses." "We're saying that councll should change the bylaw to make the developer buiid -single famlly homes there." - <Carr added that he didn't think the town wanted to get into a legal battle, wlth the developer. The,-second petition, bearing the names of, 59 residents, was presented to counoil at their 'last meeting Dec. 15.
