Mrs, F. A. Wilson, secret- ary of the Oshawa branch of the society, said that if people plan on making gifts of pets at Christmas 'they must be sure the animal is wanted." "If there are children in the family they must be old enough to understand their responsibilities in handling 'Homes Standards Survey Underway and caring for a real animal and taught to see the pet as a friend and companion -- not a toy,"' she said. Mr. Wilson added: Should you decide on a pupy or kitten, remember that they. are babies. Children especially should have this impressed upon them.

One reason why the Jackson (estimated cost, $6 million) and Taunton Tower' develop- ments were turned down is be- cause 2,180 apartment suites are now permitted in the area under existing zoning. G. A. Wandless, planning director, referring to the Jack- son development, said there are only four R-1A zoned parcels of land remaining in the city. He said about 561 homes -- about a five year supply -- could be built on the four parcels. R-1A zoning requires minimum lot frontages of 60 feet and is de- signed for $30,000 to $40,000 homes. Earlier in the meeting the board approved several condi- tions to be considered in apart- ment rezoning applications. One of these was that any area, other than redevelopment areas, be limited to R-3 densities. Referring to the Cor-Nor ap- plication, Mr. Wandless ° said existing zoning in the area now permits 1,000 suites. He also said it was a poor location be- cause of the nearby railway line The land is now zoned R-2B which would permit five- unit buildings. Mr. Wandless said the area north of the F and T Develop- ments land is now zoned to per> mit 2,472 suites. Present zone - ing of the land, R-2A, permits duplexes.
