As reported elsewhere in this newspaper, a plan for a condominium building on Ontario Street by H.D. lnvesttnents was tunied down in ILS present state. Committee members opposed to the plan cited concemrs about the esthetics and height of the building and how it ftns in with the rest of the residential area on the street. The changes the committee are asking the developer to make may' seem minor, but they're rcally quite significant because they set a stan- dard. As Milton continues to grow and these types of' building proposaIs become more common, decisjotg' likc thcsc v\s11l have Io b,-tmade on a frequent basis. Each proposaI is individual and should l'c treated as such. but dcci- storîs made now, will affect the estbetics of the towsn for ycars to comne. Let's get it right. Miltonians want to live in town tastefullv and thoughtlully desigtîed and that takes good planning.
