st triune aprel2tl993 p3 tribune exclusive region may see break in dumping fees tracy kibble staff reporter york region municipalities will see a break this year in dumping fee costs if metro politicians approve the plan this summer the tribune has learned metros public works staff is set to offer york 18atonne more in rebates for 1993 than last year and has already approved a 4 1percent tipping fee reduction to the private sec tor according to metro works solid waste administrative manager peter barry last year yorks municipali ties received a rebate of 86 a tonne but barry said staff wants to raise that to 105 a tonne for 1993 he said the move was insti gated after the city saw a drop in operational costs to run keele valley landfill site in vaughan last year the extra money could mean a surplus in solid waste bud gets for all nine york munici palities but officials say its too early to estimate what the move will mean for regional taxpayers this might be an advantage to us but im not sure how big yet said- yorks chief adminis trative officer bob forhan metro politicians last week approved reducing its tipping fee charges to the private sector by 41 per cent from 15250 to 90 a tonne a move to lure customers away from cheaper dumps across the us border forhan said the tipping fee reduction might create spinoff business in york that would otherwise be lost because of high solid waste costs to private business this could mean a plus for yorks industrial and commercial sector companies which were forced to relocate and drive to dumps in the us for cheaper fees forhan said but that doesnt necessarily mean great savings for the region forhan cautioned what we gain at one end we could lose at the other forhan said if metro politicians approve the rebate increase to york municipalities this june it could mean a 109000 solid waste budget surplus for whitchurchstouffville barry said public works director paul whitehouse said although hes remaining optimistic he was advised to budget for the worst case scenario york is currently suing metro phololom emmersoh the old fashioned way volunteer gladys clarkson whips up a batch of

with the region to pay 112atonne in owed rebates after yorks budgets were set last year at the agreedupon rebate metro said it would pay only 84 stink raised about manure a cedar valley couple says they are fed up with flies and the stench of horse manure from a neighboring property which forces them to give up outdoor summer enjoyment doris and robert tompkins say their neighbor who owns a sevenacre boarding stable piles horse manure too close to their property and fails to clean the area up the couple says the odor is so bad they cant use their pool or enjoy an outdoor barbecue and constantly live in fear of water contamination the tompkins also say they pay more taxes than their ruralzoned neighbor who they say also gains financially from his horse boarding business does this sound fair to you they asked council in a letter this week the couple says various agencies agree there is a problem but refuse to take responsbility to force a cleanup the couple will make a presentation to council tonight road concerns stouffvillites from page 1 south of stouffville and takes up about 1500 acres east of the ninth line and north of the future hwy 407 some things are firm some things are still open duany told the crowd of stouffville and markhamarea residents two questions dominated the discussions the first was traffic people are concerned that the traffic congestion in the area will become unbearable with the influx of what is proposed to be up to 20000 new residents to the area many feel the roads are already too busy and say something must be done before they go ahead with the plan duany said markhams population is expected to increase by 70000 by the year 2023 and about 18000 will be living in this study area while he said it is not possible to stop the increase in traffic this plan generates the least traffic possible by the time the area is fully functional 40 per cent of the travel ling will be kept within the bounds of the plan he said there were also some concerns raised about the access to the markhamstouffville hospital by stouffville residents people wanted a commitment from the town that they would fix up ninth line before starting this development as it stands the road is rough and hard to drive on if this devel opment goes in as planned without the repairs to ninth line stouffville residents will have difficulty getting to the hospital but there was no answer to this question neither municipality will take responsibility for the road they are trying to get the regional government to take over the maintenance murray wilson who is leading a crown corporation of the min istry of housing dealing specifically with the markham east area sees the first ground being broken between 18 month to two years however lome mccool commissioner of planning for markham thinks it wont be until 1996 but all agree that the whole plan will take about 20 years to fin ish about 80 per cent of the land is owned by the province of ontario but there are also about 14 private landowners these owners are getting frustrated with the whole process i dont want to sit around for 20 years under construction said claire baker one of the land owners the plan has allowed for 10 elementary schools and two sec ondary schools and the maximum dwelling units will be 9000 there will be about eight dwellings per acre the next step in the process is to develop a secondary plan that will be approved by the municipality and the province anyone wishing a detailed list of steps left in the process up to the start of construction will be
