Cant understand how city determined area boundaries STROID The annexation debate has raged in an at mosphere of confrontation rather than cooperation says Don Buggies builder and espra resident Mr liuggles who attended public meeting Monday called by Innisfil lownsliip said as result the public is uncertain the credibility of the id niinistiations have been under mined and the priorities are questionable He said he cannot understand how Barrie determined the boundaries of the area it wants to annex from Innisfil es ra and Oro townships And ed the criteria used are lar ly statistical rather than ba on the natural attributes of the land He said the city is overlook my about 5000 to 6000 acres of land in the northwest corner of Innisfil and the southwest cor nor of espra that has

reduce urban sprawl This planning approach uses the flat land for agrir culture the hilly river and creek valleys for residential development he said Based on the Israeli Kiiibut In part the model
