SUBDIVISION’
IN WORKS _

Another ‘bench area 1 residen-
tial subdivision may.soon be in

_ the works. A rezoning application ‘

has .been filed by Takhar Truck-

ing Ltd., asking that zoning on a .

9.51 acre parcel of land on the
south side of Halliwell be changed
from Rural (Al) to Residential
(R1). :

The property is located mid-
way between North Munroe and
Benner St, According to the appli-
cation, it offers enough room for
30 single-family residences.

This and the development of
another bench area subdivision
may be well-timed if current esti-
mates for housing starts this year
prove to be true. To the end of
February, there were 14 housing
starts valued at $1.77 million,
compared to one home valued at
$104,820 for the same period in
1991.

»- CONDO QUERY

Residents in the area of Yeo

“Sti, -Westview Dr., and Munthe

Ave. received an interesting letter
in the mail recently. It came from
Bud’s Trucking and offered some

preliminary information on a

condominium proposal in their
neighbourhood.

It was not a formal proposal.
The city -has not yet received a
rezoning application. Instead, it
was an effort to resolve neigh-

bourhood concerns and complaints
before an application was even
made. A number of similar propo-
sals have been trashed by local
opposition in the past two years
at the application stage.

Already the process of public
opposition has begun. ‘Two
affected residents visited council
chambers recently to express
concern. They want to be involved
from the beginning, they told city
alderman, not informed later and
brought into the fray after much
of the decision-making process
had passed.

Some concerns about this
most recent potential proposal
weren't new. Among them are
increasing traffic and declining
property values. There were a few
new twists, though. The lack of a
sewage system for one, And the
eviction of a few neighbourhood
deer for another.
