Somewhere in the files stored in the clerks office it a bylaw reputed to be 25 years old It will prob ably be brought out dusted off and carefully perused before the next council meeting This bylaw if in existence as it is claimed will emphasize the fact that even a quarter of a century ago there was a council which considered that home owners who invest thous ands of dollars in their property should be protected Era and Express Thursday Jan Pace AskSS a Is Aurora going to Buffer the headaches of growing pains that have been the major ailments of municipalities closer to Toronto or are we going to benefit by the mistakes that have been made In other communities A protest has been made to council by residents of Kennedy St against a proposed crowded subdivision with a request for a restrictive bylaw This should be seriously considered even though it too will eventu ally be filed in the limbo of the towns archives The old bylaw it Is said merely states that houses must conform in structure with others in the area It does not mention the size of the lot land use bylaw slates that a frontage is the minimum required for building purposes Neither of these documents con trol the problem that has arisen In the presently high assessment It Is quite possible that men and women who are elected to council do not always give seri ous thought to the fact that their opinions affect the town for years to come They are quite conscientious about todays prob lems but do they always exercise a longrange view Commending the mayor for his sense of fair play with regard to having both sides of the Kennedy St problem reviewed we must in all fairness to the residents and to future home owners remind him that the population march is not lingering to the south It can completely overcome us with its influx if we are not prepared to control property values We citizens on the other hand can no longer expect to always enjoy expansive views and green pastures unless we are in a posi tion to protect that privilege by buying up all the surrounding land That of course is out of the question People do how ever usually move to suburban areas because they wish a little privacy and some land Why then should desirable areas be ruined by the erection of 15 hous es jammed on the required 50 lots Are the residents of Ken nedy St who have lived in Aur ora many years and invested many thousands more than the amount to be spent on the new houses being unreasonable be cause they are asking council to exercise its power to protect them Whether the present problem reaches an amicable settlement or not a bylaw should still be enacted to create a restricted area because from a financial point of view a high assessment area is good business and an asset to any town The trustee board
