mm wm ppp m ibb tribunes wednesday habch x 1mz f- council commente jim sanders ansion the expansion to the sewage plant in stouffville will allow for new develop ment in the former village it will per- met up to 3000 new people in the former village dulvertori is planned for 2000 leaving us with capacity- for an ad ditional one thousand iv c it appears the additional capacity will be used primarily for single family detached houses also there will probably be some town houses and some multiple dwelling units this additional development for 1000 people will be infilling in 16 places in various locations throughout the village all of these are presently designated urban residential in the new official plan thus theyj have all been presented over the years at meetings held to discuss the new op r these 16 sites total- approximately 112 acres withirithe village we have a i density of approximately 13 people per acre it is clear then that not all these properties will bevallowed to develop since we have capacity for only 1000 maps indicating both the dulverton development and the additional infilling spots that could be developed are on display at the public library in summary we can expect within five years to have approximately 3000 new residents in stouffville it is im portant that we are ready for this in- crease in population especially in terms of recreational programs and facilities ps copies of the master plan for culture and recreation are available at the town office for purchase and at the public library for reference i wkt wrifaxm jii y vv established

eightyunit apartment building in stouffville this is indeed good news for the town for not only is thefirmas construction already based in stouffville and extremely dependable it owns the property where the project is planned this i provides the necessary assurance the work will be done right unlike some weve seen in other municipalities- apart from this the need is urgent so urgent in fact we predict a waiting list suf ficient to fill the place long before the first sod is turned r if it ever is for some strange reason planning board with the exception of councillor tom wood appeared very cautious when the application was presented rather than welcoming the proposal with open arms and offering to co operate in every possible way some members took a negative stance suggesting reasons why it shouldnt rather than should go ahead personally were floored by this pessimistic approach v while the site may not meet all the criteria of accommodation excellence such points are trivial compared to need couples particularly young marrieds or those soon-to- bemarried are constantly searching for places to live and no one knows this better than the classified ad manager of this news paper every week shes confronted by people literally pleading for advance notification of apartments for rent in this area un fortunately there are none or if there are theyre snapped up ahead of time through word of mouth the planning board should welcome the initiative shown by this firm and indicate a willingness to overcome whatever obstacles may lie ahead from what weve seen so far the most perplexing obstacle to overcome will be planning board itself whileking lear may be all right in the classrooms king leer is definitely out ac- cording to durham board of education not so long ago a committee headed by claremont trustee linda carder brought forth a policy against sexual harassment in the schools this included such horrendous actions as leering and gawking the latter two werent defined but they were listed anyway as something to be avoided on pain of indictment i asked mrs carder if there had been any complaints of harassment no but its there she said you cant tell me it isnt people are people mrs carder has always struck me as a woman of good sense impatient with phonies and the pomposity that often accompanies school resolutions so i was surprised shed mount this particular bandwagon if anything it seems to be looking for trouble its also presupposes that women alone are the victims of roving eyes and panting tongues no man was ever ogled by a woman ap parently it doesnt matter no one ever died from being leered at by a member of the opposite sex in fact such tidbits of admiration are appreciated by both sides in fact it keeps one young to have a friendly look of appraisal now and then if someone is truly harassed in a sexual manner it should hardlybe necessary to have to consult some hastily drawnup rule book to see if any action should be taken lets hope the board doesnt get so carried away with its new legislation that it reaches the point where teacher and pupil may no longer be able to exchange glances in the hall- without fear of mutual charges its been a start and stop stay for funland games centre no sooner had it moved into its new premises at 85 main street west after receiving approval from council then the owner of the building posted a notice on the door forbidding it to open at the time of application councillor tom wood waving a copy of a letter from the owner warned of just such a possibility if by j i i m i ry i n g j council approved and suggested the ap plicant be thus advised mayor eldred king vetoed the idea however its not for us to sit in judgment he said slightly pious in his inflexibility that it was hardly a matter of sitting in judgment but one of simply telling the truth seemed to ibe lost on everyone but councillor wood now having given its approval and having witnessed the subsequent closing of the arcade the town has decreed that the place doesnt have sufficient parking andshould it open would be fined each and every day thereof it is also demanding signed lease from the owner why then did it give approval in the first place its a callous and irresponsible way for the town to act if council doesnt want such centres let them say so at the outset at least at the centres when you put your coin in you have a chance of winning a free game at council if its handling of this is any indication the games over before it starts editors mail bad news travels farfast administrator not needed mayor eldred king is hght wwtchurcti- stouffvide doesnt require the services of a highsalaried chief administrator the town isnt that large nor is it growing that fast that it needs afub4bne administrator to oversee the dutiesof other department heads from our yantage point each in his or her own way is coping quite well this fa not tosay harold caldwell the a past employee didnt do justice to his job he did but the job didnt do justice to him the municipality isnt yet ready for this type of highprofile personnel undoubtedly mr caldwell realized this more than- anyone hence his decision to move on most people seeking information of a general nature will call on the clerk- if its something specific in planning building finances canine control etc there are knowledgeable department managers available to provide the answers then of course- theres always the mayor and six members of council to respond to problems related to politics so who needs more not whitchurch stouffville dear jim i thought you might enjoy reading the news article published in our fort mcmurray alberta today newspaper dealing with the york sanitation landfill site it was headed dotting the land scape with deadly pins and appeared in the feb 7 1982 issue i found it amazing and almost un believable it also made me realize what a small world it is our home in goodwood is only six miles away from the landfill operation here we are in fort mcmurray about 2000 miles away and reading about ii we arrived in fort mcmurray last august from goodwood 1 1 accepted a teaching position here we are enjoying the experience but we still love the stotif fvillegoodwood area we have continued to maintain- our home goodwood 1 havent decided if ill remain one more year the school board is very progressive but because of the- transient population the students are difficult to handle i understand a decision will be handed down soon on an application to expand the york sanitation site knowing how government operates it f winprobably favor expansionm trust youll keep us informed through the tribune there also appears to be another controversial issue on the horizon a liquid industrial waste plant proposed at the property of standard aggregates on me whitehurchstouffville and uxbridge townline the organization called uxtra uxbridge township ratepayers association was always concerned about the possibility of abandoned gravel pits becoming landfill sites offers from- disposal companies to operators of gravel pits can be very attractive since these operators get paid to fill in the large holes rather than pay out money to rehabilitate the land we enjoy receiving the tribune it keeps us in touch with our friends our family and the community we love so much tbeonly problem its about two weeks late in arriving but we really dont mind its still news from home we wish to say thanks to mr and mrsrvan bell bur nextdoor neighbors in goodwood for the gift subscription to your
