This draft plan of subdivision should be considered a phase of the development to the north and if this is the case, then less than 50% of the houses constructed would be semi-detached if the applicant's submitted plan is accepted. He supplied an emergency access from the subdivision to the north as requested by Council which invo1 ved the purchase of lands at the east end of Klima Street. His firm has brought Klima Street up to standard and has dedicated the roadway to the Town.

If this development is approved, it could set a precedent for development on similar lands thus affecting the water table in a profound way. The rural area in its present form must be preserved. See Resolution # 97/90 Mr. Lorne Almack, representing the Pickering Rural Association, stated that he supports the position of the Greenwood and Area Ratepayers Associ ati on with respect to the development proposal of Fourteen Estates Limited.
