IF YOU’RE driving west towards Lonsdale on the
Trans Canada Highway, you may notice a clear-
ing of trees to your right and the beginnings of a

housing development.

smaller lots to about 9,000
square feet, with the average
size about 6,500 square feet.

the interest of the communi-
ty."

After the initial work is
completed on each phase of
property, the lots go to
tender, and council
establishes the upset prices.
Prices for lots in phase one
range from $64,000 to
$69,000.

After construction of
houses are complete, the Ci-

ty will put the final lift of
blacktop on the roads, will
cement the sidewa's, and
plant ornamental trees and
shrubs,

The only restrictive cove-
fants given to owners and
developers in building
Tempe Heights houses are
that all homes must have a
minimum of 1,200 square
feet living space, all
chimneys must have vitreose

clay liners and all garages
must be enclosed.

“There aren't that many
restrictions on building,”
Owen said. ‘But we want to
create some atmosphere for
the area and some benefits in
keeping with the present
economic climate and in the
interest of the owners.”
