ike tribune thursday aprl 10 197s 3 mayor gordon ratcliff local opposition scuttled dump site stouffville council recently passed a resolution to discontinue studies to determine if a 50acre site at highway 48 and vivian sideroad was suitable for use as a municipal dump this week mayor gordon ratcliff took a few moments to explain councils actions at the time the resolution was passed there was no comment from any member of council there was doubt whether it would qualify for a landfill site with the water table being so high commented the mayor adding that this- was never actually determined as the preliminary investigations were never really completed to the degree required by the con sulting engineer youd have to recognize there was tremendous op position to it in the locality said mr ratcliff acknowledging that the vehement resistance of residents had influenced councils decision to abandon the proposed site the mayor expressed concern that any proposed site in the municipality would meet with the same kind of opposition and he said consequently there are no sites in the municipality under active investigation he said council would now wait for a regional study on garbage disposal which is ex pected to be released in october the region has commisooned the study but they have never passed any resolution indicating they would accept garbage disposal as a regional respon sibility we have to face the fact we are in a very sensitive en vironmental area here with the oak- ridges moraine ex plained mr ratcliff perhaps there are no suitable sites in the

board last week to express their concern over a proposed sub division councillor eldred king in the chair ex plained that the area services branch is presently conducting a study on the proposal which wassubmitted by yorkwich investments he said that board members had invited residents of the area in order to hear various opinions this is not your last opportunity to state your views its just the first he said he added that the development requires amendments to both the official plan and the zoning bylaw and further meetings will be called before those changes are made king then invited the developer to present his plans conroy dowson a planning consultant retained by yorkwich displayed maps and diagrams to illustrate the plan and possible alternatives dowson explained that the proposal covers a 30acre parcel on which 15 houses are proposed the land lies on the north side of the st johns side road east of the 6th line an unusual feature of the plan was common open space which would surround the entire property as well as each individual lot the con sultant said the land is poor for agricultural purposes with no streams nearby but maintained it would be suitable for housing and septic tanks the houses he said would be of the estate residential type george collins the first questioner raised the problem of water supply he said there have been many problems with his well and wondered what kind of impact this develop ment would have other residents expressed similar concerns and all of them said their wells are more than 100 feet deep- planning board medbers pointed out that water supply is one factor that must be studied before building can commence an unfavourable report on the availability of water has in the past proven the death of other developments some residents questioned the idea of including stables and riding trails on the property the original plan would nave a trail going around the parcel through the common land mr c milani president of yorkwich defended this idea he added however that it would depend mainly on the people who buy the houses there was some indication this part of the plan might never become reality there was con siderable resentment expressed over the idea of 2acre lots since the area is now mostly divided into 10 or 20acre parcels smaller lots will destroy the whole community one lady charged king said that in his view building a house does not require 10 acres of land this is a total waste of land he said two acres areadequate on the question of assessment the planning board chairman felt the development could be a benefit to the whole area the town needs assessment be said and this view was generally supported by other councillors the hospital for sick chidren foundation presents seminar
