The letter from Ms. Diane Rue, on behalf of East Woodbridge Developments Limited, requests that the draft plan of the above-mentioned plan be extended. In reviewing this request, staff note that the draft plan approval has been extended on several occasions due to the effects of the economic conditions on the housing market. As indicated in the attached letter, this situation has not improved since the previous draft plan extension in 1982. Staff note that as of December 31 , 1982, the Town has outstanding accounts totalling $749.75 in respect of the review and preparation of a prior subdivision agreement which was never executed. Council may wish to have these accounts paid prior to further extensions. Alternatively, the monies would be collected through a new agreement at some future date. Staff would suggest that these monies not be carried over and that the extension of draft plan approval only be recommended to the Minister upon receipt of payment in full of any outstanding accounts or taxes applicable to the subject lands. In consideration of the foregoing, staff would have no objection to the approval of a twelve (12) month extension in draft plan approval . Upon expiry of this draft plan approval , the plan would subsequently be reviewed again in 1984. Respe,t'full omitted, i T. T. Edwards, M.C.I .P.

These measures may make this project economically feasible. Yours truly, DURHAM J.V. a '" 44 Per: Diane Rue, A.M.C.T. (A) DR:js C.C. Region of Durham - Dr. M.
