While the district’s section of the road, east of Lloyd Avenue, has already been developed, the provincial section awaits completion. Mayor Marilyn Baker said Crist’s motion had no validi- ty. at all — there was no comparison to the Seymour By ROSS MEEK commercial development and such a motion would have serious legal implica- tions. The difference between Marine Drive and Seymour was that the Seymour pro- perties had not been rezon- ed; Marine Drive properties are already rezoned giving the owners a legal right to build on them, explained Baker. QUESTIONS LEGALITY The district could withhold development per- mits but Baker questioned if this was legal. McMinn also spoke against the motion, saying completion of Low Level Road would not eliminate residents’ concerns, because they stemmed from shoppers crowding the area, not through traffic. In adopting the design guidelines, Ald. Mary Segal said they would give council more control over develop- ment and, in fact, they were already having a beneficial effect as merchants were voluntarily conforming to the requirements.

Calling the CSTF package socialist material, trustee Michael Smith objected to the foundation’s request, saying distribution of ‘this kind of junk mail will reduce the value of the legitimate stuff we do send home.” Trustee Hugh Stark agreed with Smith: ‘We should not be advertisers.” Stark also pointed to the numerous spelling errors in the presentation and said the board would be well advised to invest a substantial amount of investigation into such material before sending it out in what would be taken to be board-endorsed information. Board chairman Margo Furk, who said she had signed her own children up “for this socialist program,’’ disagreed with earlier com- ments by Stark that saving money in a beer can would be as effective as the CSTF’s proposed plan, ‘‘but it would be inappropriate for us to send out information that would be held up as having tacit board ap- proval.’’ .
