california i would like to offer your i i markham townhip readers suggestions and comments on the above reported items and 1 will discus- the last item first from my extvrieree as a member of the township planning board during 1952 i venture to predict that the planning board will not have completed its master zoning plan for the whole township before the end of lol 1 say this not because of any lack of effort on the part of the board but by reason of the fact that during mv tenure of office at least wt of the boards time was occupied in dealing with subdivision appli cation- and isolated minor real estate transactions which of necessity must come before the board for its consideration 1 fear that 1953 and subse quent years will bring even more such problems before the board and that even less time can be devoted to active development of the master plan i the township council fail- to take any active steps to attract and prepare for industrial development until completion of the zoning plan for the whole township 1 am applications applications will be received by the undersigned until 12 oclock noon tuesday april 14 for the position of superintendent of fairview lodge ontario

h murphy ltd ford a monarch sales service stonffvflle ontario afraid that valuable time will have been lost and future taxes will prove that this policy is unwise i feel strongly that discus sion of the problem- of indus trial development is not 0111 of order either in council or elsewhere the planning boards authority is limited to recommending onlv to council that the plan and other meas ures which the board may agree upon be adopted by council and acted upon the board does not take any active part in the promotion of any kind of development or initiate any projects for pro viding services to such development the board will finally only recommend to council that industrial com mercial and residential devel opment if and when it occurs hall be restricted to the areas allotted it is definitely the councils responsibility if adopted to enforce these measures and take the necess ary steps to provide for the development as planned active planning should right now be underway for the provision of water and sewer age facilities for those sections of the township already partially populated and for those areas most suitable to residential and industrial development in the near future if the planning board could be provided with infor mation that the township engineer had surveyed the situation and could take such and such measures in one area to provide the necessary water and sewerage facilities but could not in the foreseen- ahle future provide the facili ties in some other area 1 be hove that this information would be invaluable to them in their efforts to formulate a master plan which would pro vide for an orderly and fin ancially sound development of the township this leads us to discussion of councillor lennies report ed statement as given in item no 1 above it is my under standing that a council may undertake local improvement works such as water and sew erage facilities without wait ing to be petitioned by the interested parties there is provision in the municipal act for councils to undertake such works by initiative of council subject to municipal board approval unfortunate ly residential development in the first concession of mark- ham township and other areas to date has progressed with out the possibility of obtain ing essential services these words are commonly used to denote water and sewer facil ities if zoning and land use bylaws had been in effect years ago limiting subdivision of the land into large parcels of say two acres or more it could be assumed that these essential services would not be required as each lot could provide for its own water supply and waste disposal since it is highly impractical and now too late to impose such restrictions on large areas of the township it is necessary to adopt other measures and i believe the time has come for the council to take definite steps to get control of the situation before further complications are add ed here are two alternative methods by which any area may develop which method do you consider the better 1 an area has been al ready subdivided or will in the near future be subdivided into lots having 100 ft fron tage the lots are 100 ft be cause there is no water main or sewer in the area a build er or the individual owners starts building on these lots and being uptodate they drill a well and install a pressure pump system and contruct a septic tank and disposal bed the cost of these two items to day will be at least 50000 some years later a situation will develop whereby water and sewers are necessary per haps to serve industry but the property owners are opposed to the cost of these since they have already spent quite a sum of money on their own systems there is a deadlock no industry because the municipality cannot assess the cost of services against the abutting properties and it would be uneconomical to extend water mains and sew ers to serve industry onlv meanwhile taxes on the pro perties are high because of the 100 ft frontage and the local improvement costs of the necessary roads and perhaps sidewalks eventually the march of pro gress will force water mains and sewers on these areas and admtral imr mmmm 95 399

subdivide his lot in two 50 ft lots providing he hasnt been foolish enough to place his house on the centre of the 100 ft lot the second method of devel opment might be this 2 the township council has enacted that development of any area will be orderly and progressive if the area is zoned as a high or medium density residential area the council will have laid plans to provide for the essential ser vices and if the subdivided area is being developed by individual property owners the- township would extend the services as required and charge the costs to the proper ty owners because the lots are serviced they can be 50 ft frontage if the subdivision is being developed by one operator lie would be required to extend the essential ser vices to his subdivision and charge the cost to the proper ties served in either case the owner is relieved of the cost of drilling a well and provid ing a septic tank system it wotdd seem logical that services should be available before development is allowed lo begin this is in the end the cheapest way but involves expenditure of money by the council before any cash re turns are possible it would however pay big dividends in later years in closing let me state some facts as i see them 1 markham township or any other largely rural town ship would be better off fin ancially if no further urban development took place with in its borders 2 it is utterly impossible to hope that fact no 1 can be realized if a township is adjacent to a growing city 3 industry must be en couraged to locale in the town ship and money must be spent in advance to prepare for industry 4 residential development in the township must be limit ed to its correct ratio with industrial development 5 properties snould be ac quired by the township now to hold for future
