p4 the tribune wednesday november 29 1989 news item bia urges residents to try us first in 1989 festival of bells theme town versus taxpayer an ontario municipal board battle between whitchurch- stouffville officials and local resi dent jamie simm is shaping up for next week mr simm filed an objection against the towns decision to amend a 17acre severance deci sion and says the subsequent bylaw approved to allow it should never have been passed the controversy dates back to 1982 when the lands which are now chiefly used as a parking lot for customers at the stouffville stockyards were included fas part of the severance j but the beauty of this battle is that it is being fought bytne everyday taxpayer its the pro verbial case of the little man tak ing on city hall if the omb rules in his favor mr simm could well be parjt of the decisionmaking process if not he will have had his turn jit bat mi this instance illustrates the fact that there is a process arid forum for people like mr simm who object to land use in their neighborhoods f j more people like mr simm who take action could well cause headaches at the municipal lefel but the result more prudent land use planning would
