Mr. Taylor explained for the benefit of those present the steps he had taken since assuming the Rougedale Acres file one week previously. He recommended that the proposed agreement be signed by the Township, suggesting that considering the problems that had been experienced during the past 2 1/2 years that Council was fortunate in completing the matter on such good terms as the receipt of a Performance Bond in the amount of $75,000, a $200,000 liability pOlicy, a lot development fee of $500 per lot for the 120 lots still undeveloped. Council in general expressed their appreciation to the Reeve and to M~. Taylor for the expedient manner in which the situation had been resolved. See By-Law No. 3028. 2.

See Resolution No. 232/65. 3. Mr. Onley, representing Mr. Overend. requested the assurance of Council that building permits would now be issued as a result of the agreement between the Township and Del Brocco that was to be signed this evening. The Reeve suggested that such assurance could not be given until the services in the area were completed. Mr. Wank felt that as the agreement provided for certain restrictions. that it would be in the best interests of the development to issue building permits in order that the subdivision be completed at the earliest possible time. Mr. Taylor felt that as the development progressed, there had to be houses, although it was important that building does not interfere with the sequence of services. Council in general agreed with his thinking, but were reluctant to release building permits until such time as the Performance Bond was received. See Resolution No. 231/65. 4. MOVED by Mr. Spang. seconded by Mr. Newman. that Mr. E. Delaney be heard.

He wondered whether the new agreement would give relief to the homeowner, Mr. Perrin. owning a $19,000 house next door to which-was.a $9,000 uncompleted "tar paper shack". He urged that Council withbold ratification of the agreement pending a joint meeting between the Township solicitor and Mr. Macdonald, who represented the residents in an action against the township. - 4 - 4.
