land division policy and allow two houses to be built on driveways in its hamlets Under previous policy houses in the hamlets had to be built along the county road The amendment which had already received planning board approval was based on recommendation by Ross Ray mond and Associates of Gravenhurst the townships planningconsultants Dan Hammond represen tative from the told council the ministry of housing had approved lllt amendment as an exception to ministry policy and for the hamlets only Ilammong said his firm had made the rccommcndahon to the ministry because we felt some cases should be excepted in the hamlets to discourage stripdevelopment consultants However the ministry had made it clear only two houses could be built on private driveways This policy is not to be misconstrued as an alternative to planning by siibdiyision he said Essa clerk Arthur Roth told council he was concerned such policy could lead to total chaos by turning private driveway into common entrance for more than one home Roth said it could cause feuding over access which has occurred in similar situation in Alliston in addition to pro blems with seiyicing garbage pickup and strcetligliting Roth said isolated cases to allow such building could be handled Without amending the official plan the examiner girl if y0u see Brenda walking down the street some sunny day you might
