stouffville- the question of whether to freeze future population increases over the next five years in the area between vivian and faulkner avenue was discussed monday in planning committee town planner max sherman presented the idea to the committee as a possible item to include in the whitchurch- stouffville official plan draft such a halt on development he explained would not impede infilling and subdivisions already approved for the area it would however- stop a variety of other developments there which probably could comply with regional standards for estate residential development mayor gordon ratcliff commented that he was not for gr6wthbut wondered where else in the municipality it could go if it was eliminated there mr sherman said there are quite- a few other areas available for estate residential development there are close to 6000 acres the population on the 1000 acres between faulkner and vivian now stands at 523 mr sherman said it is now creating a very sprawling hamlet on four concession blocks in time people in the area could begin to request com- mercial and soft services he said the fact is they are a fair distance from an urban area councillor june button commented that people living in that area have enough acreage and dont care about parks and other amenities but mr sherman said that more im- portant would be the demand for commercial development if uncontrolled population in that area could rise as high as 1000 to 1200 said mr sherman another problem is that with the regional forest located in that area an increased fire hazard would result and a conflict between hunters skidooers and residents could occur he said mayor ratcliff opined that c councillor becky wedley said she felt there should be some controls in the official plan draft concerning development in the area the amount of future in filling now slated for the area according to councillor merlyn baker- is another reason for not allowing any further

22 forested acres next to the vivian forest would be left as is mayor gordon ratcliff suggested that they should perhaps plan on only six lots rather than 12 planning board chairman eldred king commented that under estate residential development that the lot sizes should average two acres rather than one the developer hoped to have the present rural classification changed to that of rural residential mr whitlam said that forest could also tie in well with someone interested in snowmobiling regional planner don knight when asked to com ment said the development there needs careful examination and said the regional forest had hoped to link up some of its tracts rather than having them further divided having increased development in the area mr sherman said also would be taking a
