In answer to these objec- tions. council considered a written report from Plan- ning Director Hesse Rimon Monday evening. in which he stated that the proposed dc: velopment has been under consideration by planning staff for some six to eight months. A site plan agree- ment for Phase 1 was exe- cuted April 9. 1973. The amending bylaw which brought forth the protests A petition signed by 35 persons was received August 13 by Richmond Hill Council objecting to a proposed re- zoning for Newtonbrook Pla- za on Yonge Street North. Eleven buildings of stacked townhouses containing 204 units and three 12-storey apartment buildings contain- ing 462 units are the next development to come in the BAIF holdings. Richmond Hill's Planning Committee learned October 10. The site is at the southwest corner of Weldrick Road and Yonge Street. with a large park located immediately to the west. Architect Ubby Dashkin told the committee. He said the zoning would permit 60 units to thc acre. but this has been reduced to 49 with the result that only 666 units will be built out of a possible 814. It will be a condominium development and will be of brick construction.

From functional and aes- thetic points of view, Mr. Rimon stated, it is more desirable to group free-standâ€" ing commercial buildings with individual access and egress points. into one com- mercial building. with one parking lot and complement- ary architectural appearance, Thus, he maintained, the matter of oversupply of retail floor space was not too im- portant since the applicant could have built similar out- lets in individual free-stand- ing buildings.

He was assured that fences would be provided in the townhouse development on two sides, leaving the rear open for maintenance pur- poses. “As a condominlum. rules will be set by the people themselves. From previous experience Cadillac has found that where there is a low number of units at ground level there should be no pets from day one. The builder lays down the rules at first until the condomin- ium sets up its committee." the committee was told. RECREATION The sketch plans showed a swimming pool. two tennis courts and large playground areas throughout the area. Councillor Charles Stewart wanted to know if any pro- vision had been made for a meeting hall in the complex. He was told this could be provided in the lower level of one of the apartment buildings. “Is Cailldac-B'AIF willing to enter into a site plan agreement for this develop- ment?" asked Regional Coun- cillor Lois ,Hancey, and the answer was "Yes". FENCING Councillor Graeme Bales showed an interest in fencing. renorting that many people already settled in BAIF have found a fence desirable for many reasons and have found that it is costing them about 9200. “This could well be the last straw since they have invested every penny in their home." INNOVATIONS “We are trying to innovate and bring housing to people in the best way we can. The quadrex was one way." re- plied Mr. Dashkin. Mr. Chateauvert also at- tacked the quadrex homes on corner lots, which had looked good on paper. “Because there are no back yards, the front yard has become a tool shed and a barbecue pit.
