redfaced insufficient plans township admitted the wire insufficient number of copies of the proposed Official Plan of the township iv ill for residents Demand for iopieb of the pi in was brisk few

Township officials trifle red adnuttedUie goofed when the anticipated demand I of Official Plan were bound in a jdoss cover with a pur tree on cover in to the Indian word for the township mums of Tall Pines Several people at the netting ihit view of the scan of the pi ins and the short one week tune limit to register objections the August time limit should be extended inning Board chairman Fred said however that rtsidmts of the township had opportunity to hear the plan outlined at Thurda Notices of tht meeting been published in all three lownship papers and board had used even ice It could to people know of it Councillor Dick Howitt said earlier the planners felt holding a meeting would avoid a lot of unnecessary flack and facilitate the pUn implementation Objections to the plan must be the hands of the township clerk by August enable people to know what was going on He defended the application for amendment procedure as one which let the planning board do Its business prop rly and allows people in an area of new development know as well as giving the m time to object What wront with doing It by he asked Mr If mother course hud been n the board could have been with amendments We said whoa and everyone now wants to get their own ideas into plan some of them strictly for their own benefit 1iter in the meeting Helen Atkinson also criticized the method of amendment the plan rather than designating certain spots in the township for development claiming many of the amenities people would like to set developed would be frustrated by the process pointing to a drivein theatre as an example Narrow decision Mrs Atkinson suggested that lettuife people in one area decide whether a development was good or bad for the township would result in narrow decisions which might go against the welfare of Planner I Keddy told the questioner that the entire process revolved around the quality of people the ratepayers elected to council and their interest in the community as a whole You have to have faith in your council he said s having an awful lot of faith said Mrs Atkinson sitting down to a ripple of laughter Ask annexation if cant build Four objections cut no ice Lawyer Peter K Me Williams representing Milton Co said he appeared at the Official Plan for four reasons The anxious to know could carry on business under the restrictions of an Official Plan He had seen nothing designated on the maps for waste disposal site the had offered to Nassa and Milton He urged the township consider it more thoroughly 3 He said tlwrt was no mention mention of plans for a water supply for Milton Heights pointing out several meetings had been held on the matter and then it seems to have been dropped There is a water he claimed which on occasions had shut the plant down and caused hardship to people in the southwest portion of the township Mr McWilliams suggested the township should be thinking of a plan to supply water to the area If Mdton can take water from our land surely the township i an plan for water on its own land Other hamlets Mr suggested that the township was dis against the other Esquesing by allowing limited development in only Glen Williams and He said places like dad Milton Heights and Peru were also attractive places for residents to live and should be allowed some expansion especially in view of the fact Milton Brick anticipated some development in the Peru area Reeve Tom Hill answered Mr McWilliams regarding the water and waste disposal sites He said had a good dump site now in the north end of the town ship had spent some money on it and it now was en good shape unlike Mdton which has to ind a new site for its waste disposal The onus for obtaining water for residents of Mdton Heights was on people in the area the reeve said He attended several meetings regarding hooking into tht Milton line but residents were put off bv the enormous cost and changed their mind Support now Mr McWilliams said he believed support from residents would be forthcoming for a local water system now if one was organized As for the present dump it was too far away for residents in the south end of the township If the the area are still interested in obtaining water council will look into the matter further said the reeve But the last he remembers the residents of Milton Heights were to contact Nassagaweya people regarding the problem However the reeve died there and the project was dropped Mr Helson said the present dump was good for another 10 years so the township felt their needs were well looked after liwjtr fathcrland told lsquesing planning board he would apply for annexation by the town of Acton if they continued to refuse to change use of land designated rurtl on Churchill adjacent to Acton Mr said he represented three ratepayers rhe land could be serviced by and sewers by Ac ton It is vacant and has not bttn used for years Ratepayers had a plan of subdivision to the Department two years ago and then went to the township planning board It is not fair to designate the land il he told meeting and he intended to apply for annexation if the township persisted Planner 1 Keddy replied that control was the reason for the refusal to grant permission to Keep to selves proposed official plan Jack Van der Mecr the impression planners feel the people of the township want to keep it all to themselves He cited two per cent growth figure cited in the plan as looking after the natural increase only People from anywhere else would not be let into the township as he saw it We would just sit here and not let anyone else in until Georgetown annexed us or maybe Metro Toronto Growth better Mr Van der suggested to applause at Thursday plan that growth was a far better way of balancing assessment and keeping the township from going exclusive Planner Keddy replied that growth would be controlled by issuing building permits and severances In this way the township would also be able to balance the rural areas and hamlets But Mr denied planners had such a narrow view He felt however that there was nothing wrong with people wanting to keep advantages they now enjoy ljuiliibulMr I itherland should
