"The Authority has asked us to co-operate"in keeping the ac- quisition costs to the Authority at a reasonable figure," said Mr. Faulkner. "It is not the intention to ster- ilize these lands. Where a land jowner knows this land to be high and dry, and well away from flood plains, the Authority has expressed no objections to allowing one residential dwell- ing on one parcel. An applica- tion can be made to the Plan- ning Board." "The Conservation Authority has picked some rather scenic land good for residential pur- poses," said Mr. Lawson. "I think it very unfair. This desig- nation has the effect of. 'dis- criminating against cetain areas. You are reducing the value of the land to make it easy for them to buy it.' Councillor Newman said that jthe Greenbelt concerned many,| and that he felt a further study| zoning of Pickering Township. ie of the meeting; he said, was to hear construc- 'tive comments, and to attempt to. answer any questions that have arisen through interpreta- ,tion of this development plan. The bylaw, in booklet form, had been distributed throughout the rural areas of the Township. ."Planning, of course," said Mr. Faulkner, "is not some- thing new.

"Two thousand square feet just for myself and my wife seems a little too big,"' he said. He advised the gathering that he was over 70, and promised lation. Murmurs arose from the au- dience, like "Have more wives," "Have more than one wife, then!" 'Is there no way that I could Mr, Edmunds, of the Altona road, "'Now we hear they have some change within our assess- ment to help us do it." "Ts it not true that the mere mention of 2000 square foot homes drove many people from Pickering Township? Why has Markham Township assessment gone up so much over Picker- ing Township?" These and many other ques- tions were asked the Township officials. One ratepayer deplor- be allowed to build 1150 square feet, as it was five years ago?"' asked Mr. Hansen. "Would taxes derived from two houses be not more than taxes derived from one?" Mr. Hansen was told that if he farmed the property he could built an 1150 square foot house. Mr. Faulkner said that the pur- pose of the restriction was to curtail development until' ser- vices were available, and be- cause of the expensive school jcosts. He stated that although two houses would provide more taxes than one, two houses could have twice as many chil- dren as one, if not at the mo- ment, certainly in the future. Councillor Newman noted that the 2000 square foot house was the only sized dwelling which was found to be economical to the Township, and that it cost $280 per year to educate each) child. "We do have to protect the} ' said Mr. Newman. are! area now,' 'I realize some _ people going to be hurt." "Is it not true that the big excuse was because of anti- uated schools, which would ave to be changed?" asked ed the fact that if the Planning Board granted a consent to di- vide the ten acres she and her family had hoped to live upon into three parcels, that each house upon the parcel must be so large, and a $500 lot fee is required for the creation of each new lot. dack Boyes was concerned about the zoning of the White- vale Golf Course, Jack Mansell about the Sarco Plant, in Clare- mont, Clifford Dunkeld about why Altona has not been named a village when it is about the same size as Cherrywood. | Mr, and Mrs. Hans Birke and \Mr. and Mrs. Spirs Melemis were angeree because as far as sible to sell.
