Report No. 4, prepared by Mr. Howden was reviewed and the following noted "In summary I believe the two proposed developments should be rejected". "This recommendation should not be taken as a total rejection of the proposed type of housing in the Town of Newcastle. I believe that this type of unit could form a useful part of the total housing stock if it were part of an existing community and conformed to CMHC recommended Mobi- le Home Site Planning Standards. It is the scale and location of the two proposals which, I feel, necessitates their rejection. If this Committee concurs with my recommendation above, then it should recommend to Council that the matter be finalized by the repeal of the by-law of Clarke Town- ship which originally adopted the proposed Amendment No. 1.
