Mr. Joseph Shaw, Owner, and Mr. Derek Willis, his planner, addressed the

from the Town and the neighbours, as to what type of development would be
acceptable on his property.
Mr. Al Garbens, representing C.A.R.E., expressed their concern in relation
to bulk and height of any proposal. Two other neighbours entered into the
discussion. It seems they were in opposition to high-rise apartment
buildings towering over their residences. Further discussion took place
regarding the possible construction of a six storey apartment building on
Yonge Street and one on Golf Links Drive, with stacked townhouses to the
rear, abutting the adjacent residences. A consensus was reached that
possibly four storey (maximum) apartments at high density would be
favourable. Mr. Shaw informed the Committee he would sit down with his
consultants and come up with a new proposal in keeping with the concerns and
opinions expressed at the meeting.
