Treasuirer John White warned. Speaking to the annual conférence of- the Ontario -Association of Rural Munici- palities, Mr. White criticized developers ýýwho thwart the plans and intentions of town- conisby building shopp- J_ ng Centres just outside towtî Sboundaries. 'Toý that breed of develop- eridoesn't seem to mte that bis new shoppiing centre will distort tlhe orderly grow- tb and pervert the weli-made plans of the town where bi'is potential customners live. "He's ail right, Jack -- be's got bis building permit .. froin a township that doesn't realize or doesn't care what his cluster of stores will do to the neighbouring uirban coin- munity,* The Treasuirer said the practice ,mnay have to be stopped by giving the pro- vince more power through un amnendment to The-Planning Act. -He said he is reluchînt to see the province take suchi a step because such land use should be controlled by each municipafity. Additional pr- ovincial control may be nec- essary, however. if local con- trolsarM' îot adopted ini mu- nicipalities where undesirable development is likely to oc- cur.- As a'stopgap measure, the province'bas been imposing ministerial orders thiat freeze land use ini specified areas to prevent developers from car- rying out their plans. But ministerial orders are îlot (lie best solution bbe- cause tbe provincial govern- ment us remote froîn the action. and a ininisterial order sometirnes is too late. "By the time we hear about a deveioper's proposai. lie lias his permit and we can't stop bim froin building". He said some shopping centre developmnents are be- ing permitted or evenl en- couraged by b'short-sighted people who canuiot or wili îlot see that they are creating a pattern of waste and chaos that may plague the whole community for generatioiîs to Come" WHY PAY îc MORE? eSt On Premium Quolily FUEL OIL QarrY"S STOVE OIL PROMPT,' COU RTEOUS SERVICE CALL 66e-3381
