PlLUMI.Pg Advieemte °Co nittee, March 114, 1977, continued- Page 2 Mr. Hodgins stated that this plan has no pa_rkkland, provision and is not adequate for to-day'a development needs. For this reason, they are proposing either to attempt to make red line revisions to the plan or if this is not possible, to resubmit the application. Mr. Corbin presented a development plan which wea designed to blend in with the character of the existing development in Neweeatle, to preserve as much of the orchard existing on the site as possible and to take into consideration development constraints due to soil and topography. The resulting plan had a grid -type road pattern with multiple family housing and single family units in the orchard and as many trees as possible preserved. Other features included an east -seat pedestrian corridor and road allowances varying in width from 66 feet to 88 feet to permit landsoaping features auoh as centre boulevards. The Committee considered the proposal and expressed the concerns over the possibility that the apple trees would not be sprayed and would therefore become breeding grounds for disease and insects which would oontaminate other productive orchards in the area.
