1 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmbmmmmfmmmvmmmmmmmpmm sa16 wednesday october 121983 editors mail dear sir i recently attended a town of markbam council meeting where in spite of a reasoned submission by a qualified planner david whittamore and over the objec tions of the local re sidents members saw fit to approve the planning de partments recom mendation that a domed stadium be built at cedar grove in southeast mar- kham it was with a sense of sadness and feeling of betrayal that i listenedto our representatives on council give their reasons for paving one of the few re maining rural areas of prime agricultu- ralland in south markham 1- gordon landon our ward council lor thought it a good idea because it would result in bet ter roads v 2 doreen quirk was all in favor be cause if built in cedar grove it would not be con structed on jail farm property which in her opin ion would des troy thornhill 3 ron moran the next mayor of mar kham gave a spi rited defence of our rural heritage and preservation of agricultural land 4 carol beu voted against the sta dium but warned she may be in favor of other develop ments in the area 5 elson miles voted against the stadium without comment and bud bonner a member of the board of the cedar grove com munity centre was absent although i understand he voted for the stadium in committee 6 au others in cluding the mayor voted in favor of the stadium while i can under stand a council which has success fully attracted in dustrial and re sidential communi ties to markham in the past ten years wanting to continue this course of ac tion is it
