The lot is located along Brock Road, directly south of Mast Road. The subject lands are desig- nated major open space and Oak Ridges Moraine in the Durham official plan. The site is also rich with min- eral aggregate. Because the land is zoned ru- ral, the applicants had to apply for are-zoning. Before making their decision final, council heard from dele- gations opposed to the develop- ment and from the applicant's lawyer Bryan Davies. Mrs. J. M. Wilkens told coun- cillors that she and neighboring residents are opposed to the de- velopment for several reasons. She said that a number of homes in the area are already experiencing an extreme water shortage problem and any more homes in the area will only add tothe situation. Mrs. Wilkens also pointed out that the present rural road is not capable of handling any more traffic and that traffic created by the new Oak Hill Es- tates subdivision has already created problems. But perhaps the greatest con- cern, Mrs. Wilkens said, was the effect the development would have on the areas coun- try setting. The applicants "have little or no regard" for the country com- munity ambiance, and she said that if the propos was allowed she feared it would open the door to other speculators who would want to develop the ar. a. Lawyer Bryan Davies, who spoke on behalf of the appli- cants, tried to persuade council to change its position and ap- prove the application. He told council that although the road was very rural orient- ed when the applicants built their home in 1982, "no one who drives that road today" could come to that conclusion. Mr. Davies said most of the neighboring land is non-farm residential use. Mr. Davies also told council- lors that it was not the appli- cant's desire to exploit the rural area. He said Mr. Walker and Ms. Leski have built a home on The BARLEY MOW PUB (Latcham Centre) the land and do not intend on moving. "They have no intention of leaving," he said. "They have built a home there." | As Toronto continues to feel growing pains "this kind of de- velopment is going to become more and more desireable," he said. : Council passed the recom- mendation to deny the sever- ance without discussion.
