again the concern of residents developers have asked for therezoning of land off warden ave north of 16th ave to allow the construction of 36 homes where 23 were originally permitted residents of the glenbourne park area and owners of the york downs golf and country club are upset that the new com munity will create a shortage of water in the area if they could decide they would choose to leave the 41 j4 acres of woodland as it is but because zoning already permits develop ment they would prefer to see 23 houses over 36 one resident quoted a letter of a neighbor who described the woodland as an environ mentally sensitive area he listed a variety of birds and plantlife unique to the area hoping to convince the committee that the land should not be developed other reasons mentioned to deny the re zoning were noise pollution from increased traffic disturbance causedby extra street lights and further overcrowding of union- ville public school the committee decided to permit the re zoning defining the number of houses as up to a maximum of 36 subject to a report about the impact of more housing on the area call display advertising 2942200 or jenni hutt 2948244 1985 flyers delivered to
