The Port Perry Star has added a fresh new look to page 6, the editorial page, with its own cartoonist, Tim Dolighan. Mr. Dolighan's cartoon will provide a satirical look at the people, places and events in the Township of Scugog. We hope you enjoy reading his work as much as he enjoys drawing them. Although he has no formal art training, he considers cartooning to be a hobby. Mr. Dolighan is currently study- ing at York University's Fa- culty of Education, in Ajax. Mr. Dolighan says he gets his ideas for the cartoons by following the news. He says he sees humor in everything, and is able to "see things sa- tirically." "People are funny if you just look at them in the right way," he says. sues including the range of housing types, the supply of land for residential develop- ment, streamlining the plan- ning process, residential inten- sification, and monitoring the provisions in the policy state- ment. Independent consulting firm Totten Sims Hubicki, has been preparing this plan on behalf of the township. This statement establishes housing policies and targets that will enable it to provide adequate and access- ible affordable housing. It was discovered during an analysis of housing supply and demand that sufficient residen- tial land existed at the present, but demand would exceed sup- ply in 10 to 15 years. It also de- termined that the range of housing was limited for resi- dents in the low to moderate in- come levels. Due to these findings the township found it necessary to create additional dwelling units through either new devel- opment or residential intensifi- cation. The zoning bylaw will be altered to permit a wider range of residential uses and reduce zoning standards to en- courage development on resi- dential lands. Although the housing state- ment is being prepared on be- half of the township, it is being kept up-to-date on its progress.
