Housing plan opposed FROM PAGE 1 than it needs. «The church is land-rich, cash- poor,» said Jordan, and even though it could make more money fromn single-family homes, the church wants te develop non- profit housinghe said. Lar~ MKinonof Willow- b,6 ,Msaid that while his taxes wil increase every year, a non-profit housing, project will cause the value of hi property te lie, claimed luxury homes on Rossland Rd. which once sold for $1 million dropped te three-quar- tors that amount after non-profit townhouses were built nearby. Another man agreed with the «concept" of non-profit housing, but Ob ets te people who do not care if they dama e property, «because they are living there for free,» while he pays taxes. Councillor M arcel Brunelle said ail non-profit housing deve- lopmrents, whether funded by the province or Durham Region, pay prOperty taxes te Whitby. o plause from his neigh- bours, the man countered that that xnoney also comes fromn his taxes. police officer for 17 years, agreed with some of the comments made during the meeting "I can sympahze with the residents, I have seen what hap- p ens in non-profit housing,» said Sneep. «But this non-profit housing is different than the Metro Toronto Housing Authority catastrophy,» said Sneep.ý A member of Faith Baptist Church, Sneep said everyone must share in the pain of a recession. "I pay taxes and I am certainly willing te share the pain of oth- ors " he said. ÎJut Bihl Hountalas of River- .wood St. araued. «There's a dif- ferenoe in the pain you feel as a parishioner of the church and the pain residents who live here will feel.» Hountalas said the congrega- tion would not be aware of every- dayproblems faced by residents. We are afl'ected by it ail the time, net just on Sunday or a meeting on Wednesday night,» hie said. In response to Sneep's com- ments one unidentified mnan was criticaI of the_ type of people residing in non-profit housing in Toronto. "What makes you think Whitby will be any différent?" he asked. This prompted one woman to respond, UPmi Marion Molyneaux andlI guess I'm one of t he un- desirables. I want to live in this place." Now living in a north Oshawa apartment Molyneaux said she collects ,tees than $l0O00O annually from ber pension and so a non- profit development as the church proposes would be ideal. (Only deniors and single people would live in the building, said a church spokesman.) "I raised e iht kids of my own they turned out al igt Molyneaux added., Colin King of Riverwood St. said that while residents were not naive eneugh to think there would neyer be development, it should be low density. He said council must demon- strate a "proven need» for medium-density housing before it can change the zening. But Whitby planning director Bob Short pointed out that since the site is zoned agricultural, ceuncil can ept for any zoning density. The application will now be circulated for further comment from public agencies before com- ing back te, committee with a recommendation from planning staff.
