2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday June 1, 1982 Ridgeland From page 1 before the housing phase of the project. "We are satisfied that the environmental concerns will be met and that wildlife in the area will not be greatly affected," said Mayor Taylor. He argued that Scugog Township needs the revenue that will be generated in taxes from this kind of de- velopment because Scugog does not have water and sewer servic capacity to attract substantial industry or significant new housing. '"We must encourage residential housing of this kind," he said. The argument in favour of the proposal was taken up by Uxbridge Mayor Bill Ball- inger who noted that Uxbridge Township has more estate residential development than any other municipality in the Region.

Several of the property owners in the Chalk Lake area who argued against the proposal in front of Regional council noted that the Region's Planning staff have reservations about the size of the project and its location. And they pointed to a report from the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority which expressed concern for possible effects on the environment. They charged that the developer, Ridgelands, has not responded in detail or with in-depth studies to the environmental issue. A five page reply to the CLOCA study prepared by a consultant for Ridgeland dismissed the environmental concerns, and this consult- ants report was scorned by one Chalk Lake resident, Leslie Huggett who called it a "puny document, worth about $100." Mr. Huggett charged that the consultants who pre- A a a GE iba Ee EA ss Aa of | Celebrate 50th Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hobbs of Prince Albert celebrated their 50th wedding | anniversary May 28.

"We've wasted 15 months,"' said owner, Settimio Provenzanc. But now that they have the licence to serve liquor, the owners do not expect further problems. Frank's Restaurant won the appeal despite opposition from the residents of Caes- area. Some felt the granting of the licence would prove harmful to children and elderly people in the comm- unity as well as influence other restaurant owners to get a liquor licence too.
