Two emotional pleas to retain the area as it is at the present time highlighted the meeting but fell by the wayside as an informal vote saw 98 persons favoring the amendment and 47 opposing it. The vote had no official impact. Final decisions involve a series of approvals or disapprovals by the township’s planning board. council. Metro, and the provincial government. Miss Rhoda Spencer of 22 Walmer Road said that such de- velopment would mean a crowd- ed. unpleasant series of build- ings which would “take away our sense of freedom." She pointed to the inadequacy of parkland. educational facili- ties, and too high-density areas and a general "destruction of a Very nice piece of land" as rea- sons why the people should re- ject the secondary plan. Another woman also made an emotional appeal stating that "we‘ll just becomb another ex- tension of Metro which is al- ready too large. "We'll just, be the victim of pr'ofiteers". she said. “Have our sense of values become this warped? Instead of trying to accommodate as many people as possible in a small area we should be reversing the proced- ure.” “We'll be a mass of high-rise apartments which will destroy this pretty place we now live in.

This is the reason for adopting a secondary plan now before development takes place."

The only thing to do. now is to move farther away‘ until civilization catches up t me again." ’ It was stressed during the meeting that the secondary i plan was strictly a guideline 3 to control future develop- ment when it arrives. It doesn’t involve approving a specific development plan per se at the present time. A zoning bylaw is still re- ‘quired to be passed before any :specific boundaries are laid idown. This will also involve ipublic hearings.

COUNCILLOR SUMNER Markham’s Word No Good WHY TAKE THE RISK WITH BOATING! Waterways are almost as crowded as the highways today. That’s why it’s best to play safe with an Economical “package” plan that protects you against liability or property damage should an accident occur. It also covers boat, motor, trailer, equipment from fire, theft and collision. You wouldn’t drive a car without insurance. Don’t run the risk when boating.

Policy of the secondary plan is that the highest density of development will be along Yonge and Bathurst Streets. A maximum of 60 units per acre will be permitted for high-rise apartments. A medium density multiple housing type development will be permitted generally on the basis of 15 to 25 units per acre. This type of development will be permitted on the Carrville and Maple Sideroads. Park â€"and playground areas will also be considered in the Deputy-reeve Roman said the extra funds are needed for water supplies and a nutrient removal plant. Councillor Sumner charged that lot fees were being used as a bargaining lever with develop- ers. “I‘m not going to be party to any two-bit horse trading." he declared. And as far as he was concerned the decision was made in committee without “five minutes consideration." He compared the fee hike for the developers to ordering goods over the phone and then having the price go up when they are delivered at the door. “This is a blanket policy but not a final requisite of'council," he said. “You've made some nice headlines with plugged nickels and a few other things," com- mented Councillor Jongeneel as the matter went to a vote. Earlier in the meeting a re- presentative of the Stone Farm Subdivision at Steeles and Bay- view accused council of “chang- ing the rules pretty late in the game." The Stone Farm had already received Municipal Board ap- proval and zoning approval, he said. adding that engineering was under way and that a draft subdivision agreement based on the $500 figure would be pre- sented to the municipality within two weeks. He said negotiations with the township last Novémber had been carried out on the $500 basis and that several lots had been provisionally sold on that figure. Council pointed out that the subdivision plan has not yet been registered. Hana Office Secondary PlanNNew Sewage Plant Key To Development 3’ MARY DAWSON CMHC to advance the total mos! resigned.

Provision is indicated for five elementary schoolsâ€"there are already two in the area â€" one secondary school and two churches. seven neighborhood parks, and a large drainage area. All areas contain provi. vision for extensive residen- tial development. A total of 567 acres will accommodate a population of 33,000. Sixty eight acres are reserv- ed for commercial develop- ment, 78 acres for element- ary schools, 18 acres for secondary schools. 50 acres for neighborhood parks and 14 acres for a community park. The large civic complex will take up 90 acres, churches 17 acres and roads 58 acres with drainage tributaries occupying 104 acres. The BAIF development proâ€" posal was first received by Vaughan Planning Board and was discussed informally until the spring of 1966 when a draft plan of subdivision was submit- ted to the Minister of Municipal Affairs at Queen's Park. This plant was to service 4200 people in the Town of Richmond Hill. York Central Hospital and its proposed ex pansion, Don Head Secondary School and 400 acres of new de- velopment in the vicinity of Carrville Road. When it became apparent that sewage facilities were not going to be approved, the plans were dropped until after the July 5. 1968. provincial announcement that a 1.4 million gallon per day sewage treatment plant would be permitted in Vaughan on a branch of the Don River. A formal application was again made to the planning boardyto place a plan of subdi- vision on the 400 acres. According to the township‘s Official Plan any development of this scope must be accom- panied by a secondary plan. It had previously been decided that secondary plans would cover the 1,000 acre blocks as laid down in the original town- ship survey, measuring approxi- mater a mile and a quarter in each direction.

Minister of Energy and Resources John Simonett announced that the Ontario Cabinet had given approval for the con- struction of a 1.4 million gallon a day sewage treat- ment plant to be constructed in Vaughan Township. This plant it was stated was to serve the proposed BIAF Development in that township, plus York Central Hospital (which is planning a large addition) Don Head Vocational School. which will accommodate about 600 students this September. and about 4,000 inhabitants of the west side of Richmond Hill. At. that time it was planned to locate the plant in the Carrville Road - Bathurst Street area. with a trunk line being constructed to take care of the hospital. school and a portion of the town. However, strong representaâ€" tion to Vaughan Township Council, from Richvale re- sidents already in the area, south of that site, led to selection of a site on the Warren Reaman Farm. in the Bathurst Street-Langstaff Road area. The protesting residents feared that con- struction of the plant on the first site would effectively prevent them from receiving sanitary sewers at any time in the near future.

Mr. Williams told “The Lib- eral“ last week. “In fact we won't have it." Recently this sewage disâ€" posal plant was the subject of a heated exchange in the Legislature. Opposition mem- bers quoted an article in a Toronto daily which claimed that former Conservative MLA Hollis Beckett had in- fluenced the cabinet‘s de- cision. Mr. Beckett, who re- presented East York in the Legislature from 1951-67. is one of several lawyers retained by BAIF Associates. whose 400-acre Vaughan Township development will eventually house 15,000 people.
