Page 2 — Halton Hills This Week, Wednesday, December 9, 1992 Members of the Acton Arena |Users Committee want architectur- lal plans and public input on the proposed replacement arena to pro- iceed without delay. Gordon Chapman, an Acton lawyer and member of the Users ‘Committee, was scheduled to address a committee meeting of town council Monday night recom- mending that the town hire an architect for the project and Arena users support go-ahead approve the development of archi- tectural drawings. In a letter to the town clerk’s department, he also suggested that plans for public meetings can also proceed even while town officials try to work out environmental concerns which arose this fall with one of the can- didate sites in East Acton. Plans for the project were virtu- ally put on hold a couple of months ago when it was suggested that wetlands protected by provincial legislation might be located on the| East Acton site. The town is also} considering a site in the town’s| north end and at Prospect Park. According to Chapman’s letter, “Neither Acton East nor Acton| North, which are the only viable, sites, will create any significant constraints which would prevent us| from proceeding with (hiring an Continued on page 5 ) he Town of Halton Hills urges you during the upcoming holiday season to... © Avoid unnecessary packaging. + The amount of paper/tape you use to wrap gifts or wrap them in something "different." ¢ The amount of "throw away" materials you purchase, i.e. purchase in bulk and purchase re-fillables. ° Re-use your old wrapping paper and ribbons. * Don't throw out gift boxes - they make ideal storage containers or can be used next year.

Commenting on future possibilities for the site after rezoning is achieved, she said, “I’m really concerned about what will be put there in place of what is already there.” Councillors Gerald Rennie and Norm Elliott suggested that rejec- tion of the rezoning application could result in the town losing con- trol over the operation. Rennie said council would be “abdicating responsibility” if it denied the application and the OMB was called upon to make a final decision on the matter. “I feel we should be in the dri- ver’s seat,” Elliott said before rec- ommending that the staff recom- mendation be reworded so that concern councillors would be assured that the proposed structure for the Monarch property will be fully enclosed. “The recommendation is appropriate, but only with some assurances,” he concluded. Councillor Gail Rutherford asked Keith if a one-week deferral would help staff come up with more pre- cise wording for the recommenda- tion. When Keith said he would be “more comfortable” with that than trying to re-arrange the wording during the course of Monday’s meeting, Rutherford proposed the deferral motion. “A deferral is critical,” Elliott remarked. “Most of us want to make an educated decision on this item,” he added. Council voted for the deferral with Cook and Serjeantson casting the only dissenting votes.
