Complex proposal to council by Murray Moore Penetanguishene town council has accepted a subdivision proposal that is, according to Councillor Ray Baker, 'probably the most complex proposal to come before council." On Monday evening, council accepted a town planning board report, and thereby took, according to Councillor Baker, the first of three steps that will end with a subdivider's agreement being presented to the council for its approval Penetang Bay Developments Ltd. proposes to build single family homes on all of the waterfront land backed by Fox Street for- merly owned by both the Beck Company and International Cooperage Ltd., ap- proximately 56 acres. The proposal passed to the council by the planning board includes planning for the building of 95 single family homes. Three blocks are reserved for multiple family housing. The proposal also leaves room for a park at the north end, and a block of land for a future sewage treatment plant. The proposal is so complicated that the planning board included, for the first time ina recommendation, Baker noted, a rider that "Council may feel in view of the complex nature of the project that other parties be empowered to provide their inputs,' this being the second stage of handling. Finally, before going to the council in the form of a subdivider's agreement, the proposal will be considered by the town's housing and development committee. The developer plans to sell the lots for $50,000 each. Town planning policy calls for a municipal sidewalk the length of the waterfront, on the assumption that single homes wouldn't be built in that area. The developer has concluded that single family dwellings will be the most saleable, however, and the planning board has suggested a compromise, that more public open space opening on the waterfront in that area be provided by the developer. In another development matter, council was asked to approve a pay-as-you-go agreement for the development of seven lots in the Therrien Park Street subdivision. The council decided that the matter was too coniplex to be decided on Monday, and that the council's two new~- members, Larry Bellisle and John O'Hara, needed to be briefed, and accordingly arranged for an up- to-date report for the whole council from its housing and development committee in the near future. Bylaw change would benefit home builder Last evening consideration was given by the Midland Planning Board to the recommendation that two single and separate dwellings may be built on one lot in the town. The recommendation would allow the owner of a dwelling on a lot to build a second dwelling and continue to live in the first home unit construction of the new home had proceeded enough to allow moving into the new home. \l present, the governing section of the per- linent Midland bylaw says that only one dwelling may be erected on one lot. The problem that can arise is one of the older house not being demolished after the new house is built. The Midland Planning Board was given the example of Penetanguishene's handling of this problem. A property owner there wishg to build a second home deeds the lot to the town. The deed is held in escrow by the town until the first home is removed or demolished. Before Penetanguishene introduced the agreement, cases occurred in which the property owner verbally agreed to tear down the older home after building a new home, but did not later do so.
