Airport site OK with Oro By RICHARD THOMAS Of The Examiner Municipal politicians and representatives of ratepayer groups in Oro Township agree that if the proposed Barrie Airport is to be located in the township it should be on the Site north of the Caribou Restaurant on Highway 11 This Site was recommended to the city of Barrie in study which was made public Monday night Oro Reeve Howard Campbell and Coun Clarence Smith area also members of the airport advisory committee told The Examiner Tuesday the site would be the most suitable in thetownship because it is closest to Orillia should that muniCipality decide to go in on the project COUNCIL LIKES SITE It is also the site council prefers Reeve Campbell said If we have to have an aiport this will be the best one sitei he said The majority of township residents are likely to prefer this Site because it is in more rural area and will not affect the lakeshore which is more residential he added However indications are that it is still too early to deter mine what public reaction in the township will be to the pro posed choice Although the Shanty Bay Ratepayers Association opposed an alternative site on Concession Four where Barrie already owns about 250 acres it is not likely it will object to the Caribou site As far as am concerned that is the better area for it said association chairman Donald Grant dont mind seeing it in the township as long as it doesnt involve residential area TOO MANY HOMES There were too many homes in the area of the site on Con cession Four between Highway 11 and the lakeshore Grant said and residents did not want the aéial traffic The preferred site which would involve about 400 acres on Concession Seven north of the Caribou Restaurant IS about one mile north of Oro Station and opposition is more likely to come from residents there As yet is has not become contentious issue and there are no dramatic feelings about the choice said Dave Williams chairman of the Oro Station Ratepayers Associa tion because most people in the community assumed Barrie would push to have the site located on Concession Four where the city already owned land Williams said there has been no general consensus among ratepayers in Cm Station on whether they wish the airport nearby or not and doubted the choice would be overwhelm ingly supported or opposed We have some people on both sides both for and against but large number of people are not committed one way or the other he said NOT KEEN Williams said he was personally not too keen on the location of the proposed site but would not oppose it on the grounds that it might bring some jobs or commercial development to the township He said however such benefits to the township would like ly be very small as most of the skilled labor would come from outside and there is currently little to encourage in dustry to relocate in the township Document shown Allen toda the examiner Wednesday Dec 979 17 ontinued from Page he said That

been made The area needed would be in space 18 by 20 feet Hollywood said Also the model would have to be put in an area where the public could look at the model but not touch it Hollywood said If poeple were permitted to touch it it could result in things being knocked off the model and buildings displaced Hollywood said mall would be difficult because the model is simply too big to put box around he said Also discussed was the change of putting the model on display in the Barrie public town country Human relations prOngim monitored committee established to monitor the human relations library But that wouldnt have been fair because the library staff would have had to keep constant eye on the model said Hollywood The home will not be needed for while because modificia tions to the model have to be made Hollywood said The persons who designed the model Len Boyko and Ian Malcolm know where all the streets were but the model is slightly difficult to look at for others who are not familiar with Barrie he said Drawings will be needed with the model to show where differ ing places are too said the general manager While the Chamber has not had any offers yet Hollywood said it has not really pushed hard yet because of the needed modifications Over $1600 was raised at the chambers annual meeting last Thursday to aid in financing the model The model will be transported to

rather than rural municipality in hopes of receiv ing increased subsidies from the ministry of transportation and communications At meeting Tuesday with representatives of the ministry council was told that if the township was classified as an urban municipality the maintenance subsidy of $180000 given to them in 1979 would have been increased by about to or $60000 The change from rural to an urban classification would effect only the public works department and would have no bearing on the townships other activities Don Webb of the ministry said that every year about two or three municipalities are reclassified from rural to an urban municipality BETTER SUBSIDY In report on the reclassification Mike Dempster superintendent of roads and public works said rural classificiation allows the municipality subsidy dollar supposedly based on 50 per cent of the cost of operating the roads department Over the past few years due to the in creased demands of the traffic volumes and the ever spiralling cost of materials for Possible lnnisfil may go urban maintenance and construction the township has been spending in excess of the 50 per cent allocation said Dempster We are thereby reducing the actual percentage paid by the ministry to somewhere in the neighborhood of 42 per cent Changes in the petroleum industry will con tinue to harass the problem in 1980 said Dempster If reclassified the municipality will no longer have to obtain ministry approval on capital expenditures Under the urban system the ministry will not subsidize any capital purchase but will pay specified ren talrate Figures from 1976 1977 and 1978 indicated the municipality was not receiving sufficient funding to continue with the services re quired based on the volume of traffic population and services tendered Reeve William Gibbins said however he didnt think the township would really gain anything by being classified as an urban municipality Richard Groh clerk said however In essence we will get slightly more It just depends on how you use it Committee made no recommendation on whether or not to be reclassified as an urban municipality REEVE GIBBINS against plan
