It's a fraction of the densities of a typi- cal (subdivision) plan." Mr. Amold couldn't be reached for com- ment about the adjoumnrent at press time. But town counicil passed a motion late February stating it doesn't support any development on the CMHL site. On Febmuary 23, politicians were asked to approve a staff recommrrendation to sup- port the 500-unit proposal with somne mod- ifications. Tbe joint board required the Town to give a positiçn. But somne politicians womred it isn't the best plan for an area that fles in the sensi- tive escarpment lands.MTey deferred mak- ing a decision to a special counicil meeting March 1. Presented with four options fromn staff 216 residential units, 242 units, 408 units and 500 units of varying lot sizes -count- cil ended up voting unanimously that no growth be permitted on the large site. Mr. Best said the proposali s not mucb différent than wbat's being built south of Derry Road, west of James Snow Parkway. Thec lots are 56-feet and the CMHL plan calîs for 60-foot lots, he said. Wards 2 and 4 Regional Councillor Ron Furik, not awace of the adjoumrment, said he thinks an executive-style development on the site would be attractive, but not the way it's been presented. 1I sure hope the applicant understands that." Linda Pim of the Coalition on the Niagara Escarpmnent said she considers; the adjoumrment a "positive" step. "It gives the Ontario legialature time to pass the greenbelt protection act and we may see it have an impact on the hearing," she said. "We'll have to see what happens. "TMe Niagara Escarpment is at least safe fromn development for another six or seven months, an that's a plus." Jason Misner can be reached ai jmi.s- ner@r)niihoncoanadianc-hampion. vont.
