COMMITTEE REPORTS
Planning & Development Committee Report No. 22
Councillor Harris presented a report of the Planning and Development Committee
in which the Committee respectfully submitted the following:
A meeting of the Planning and Development Committee was held on Friday, February
12, 1971 at 2:00 P.M. to meet with Cherry Construction to discuss the proposed
subdivision agreement.
All members of the Committee were present along with Mr. Joseph Smith and Mr.
George Best of Cherry Construction and J. D. Reid, and C. H. Duncan.
Cherry Construction and the Committee were in basic agreement on the Subdivision
Agreement and a draft~reement will be prepared when the schedules to the agreement
are completed and a further meeting with the developers will be held.
The Committee discussed the street names on the draft plan of subdivision and
because of the confusion that will result if Catherine Crescent is retained, the
Committee recommends that the portion of the street on the draft plan presently
called Catherine Crescent, be changed to Walton Drive.
The Committee also recommends that consideration be given to renaming two other
streets on the draft plan, because of the use of tree names on other streets
in the area and suggests as follows: Clarion Court to Birch Court and Wendell
Court to Oak Court.
Harris: "Resoived that tbe Planning and Development Committee Report No. 22,
Trent: dated February'23, 1971, re Cherry Subdivision be discussed and
