Wed Oct MOVING- YORK V I ti a four far future brought to life in his classic by the same be monitoring your now but its nearly here less K what the future holds for this all you have to do is consult official plan It an impressive document without a trace of Big Brother in it In fact carries a symbol of peace a sketch of the Meeting House also contains a growth plan reaching to the end ifigktechnically until sometime in picture it draws is a much rosier one than Mr In Newmarket will be allowed to have about compared with the who live not a Very big growth rate three to explain the planners Newmarkets Is severely restricted by the amount sewage effluent which the towns treatment and by the amount the little Holland carryaway plan to get around this restriction calls for of a giant sewer pipe up St which carry our sewage to Lake Ontario Its supposed to E eh here about and if the present plans for its capacity are carried through Newmarket will be space In it to grow to about by the year 2000 So you see the three to four per cent growth rate fikely be maintained for the balance of this cen- By then say the planners if inventors have not up with a new way to get rid of our sewage and likely they will ever build a twin to the big Newmarket may virtually be complete why Mayor Bob For and his council are so ardently today In planning and developing roundedout well balanced town Plans set now may well determine tax rate as well as the quality of life in the year and beyond If sufficient land Is not set aside for industrial growth now an imbalance In the towns tax structure could be perpetuated indefinitely If- we werent building up our recreation and cultural facilities now through levies on the large developers building in town we might miss the boat because we arent likely to see many more large developers This slow growth rate Newmarket must live with combined with the realities of our free enterprise economy have had one other effect which many people will say is all to the good The tiny building lots favored a few years ago some with foot or foot frontages some smaller are a thing of the past here The official plan states new development In the low density residential areas which now encompass most of the remaining land shall be permitted up to a maximum population density of persons per gross residential acre calculated at 38 persons per dwelling Net effect bigger homes on bigger lots By what will Newmarket look like Residential development will have pushed north to a line extending from Jacarandah Dr at Sutton Rd west to St leaving only from there to Green Lane for the rest of the century Although the towns western flank Is Bathurst St nothing major is planned west of Yonge St by One development of large estates is a possibility at the back of the farm at Yonge St and Davis Dr On the east side all the empty lands as far over as Leslie St Sutton will be filled in From Sutton ltd to the projected Highway and from Jacarandah to south of or ham St has been earmarked for in dustrial growth At the south end of the town on a line bounded by from Yonge St to Second St and by Gorham from there to Leslie little change is envisioned One large development of big homes is planned at elementary schools will be required over the next decade The plan launched several years ago to build apartments a hotel and a complex on the Office Specialty flats between Timothy and Queen streets may get off the ground Newmarket will be linked to the Don Valley Park way by the Highway expressway and there will be a cloverleaf at Davis Dr iiV Main St north of Davis Dr will be straightened and a new road north of the cemetery will link it to Yonge St Both the GeenLane and Mulock will likely be paved from Yonge St east to Leslie St Development of bottom land along the Holland River as a park system is slated to be complete and the land along Bogart Creek has also been designated major open space area in the official plan By the end of the century what will we see It is likely Highway will extend north and cast and much of Newmarkets industrial land along it will nil with factories as land in the southern municipalities is depicted Housing will be built nearly to the Green Lane and developments may well be allowed on the East Gwilllmbury side as well West of Yonge St some regular subdivision housing will have been allowed close to the highway but the back acres stretching to St will have developed as a wealthy area of large homes on twoto five acres lots lots large enough to accommodate septic tank systems A major government complex will have developed around the courthouse at and Eagle streets It will contain more provincial government offices possibly some federal departments a new regional government administration centre and a new Newmarket reference library complex and a fire hall A new high school and at least three new Around it will have sprung up a number of office Newmarket it looked in 1957 For of Newmarkets advert OH page and professional buildings and a shopping centre will have been constructed across the road from it Little is likely to change in the south The steeply rolling hills south of Dr Bisected by the warns Holland River will have continued to mature as an estate form area A little pipe dreaming perhaps Maybe so but its not nearly far fetched as Mr Orwells book was SUTTON The future of Lake is the future of Gcorgina Township If the lake thrives so will Gcorgina Should the lake die the township loses any hope of becoming a major recreational area By the year 2000 both Lake and Gcorgina Township should be thriving ac cording to Gcorgina Mayor George Burrows The mayor who has spent most of his current term facing legal action from a group of irate ratepayers sees a bright future for the township Hes taking the criticism in stride noting The township is like a human being it sort of goes through stages At the moment says the Sutton physician the township is in its years and suffering a lot of growing pains By the year 2000 however Gcorgina will be mature and a very viable and pleasant place to live the mayor notes That mature town ships most important love affair is going to be with Lake Simcoc The lake notes Mayor Burrows is un dergoing some growth pains of its own In discussing the future of the township its to look at the lake he adds By the year 2000 according to Mayor Burrows a government body similar to the Niagara Escarpment Authority will govern development around and use of the lake The framework for the new authority which will have a wide range of powers has already been laid by the take Simcoc Pollution Conference spearheaded ap propriately enough by Township The lake authority will encompass all the municipalities on the drainage basin of Lakes and Backed by public pressure the authority will be able to achieve an entirely new era for the lake by the year 2000 The water quality in take by the year 2000 could be very much better than it is now if the people want it and if theres enough support for it says Mayor Burrows That support wont be lacking in Georgina By 2000 the township hopes to have to per cent of the shoreline open to public use a total that should be more than adequate according to Mayor Burrows The public portion of the will include and hotels While only one such proposal expansion of The Briars in Sutton is past the planning stages the mayor is confiedent that hotel development will attract further development The hotels and beaches wont be the only attractions for a population from the Toronto area of more than three million The township will develop bike paths and areas to increase recreational potential One such proposal is provincial development of the Morning Glory swamp north of Highway and west of If development goes according to the current plan by the year 2000 the swamp will be a wildlife sanctuary with walking and canoe paths Parking will be limited to a section along Highway with an electric train taking visitors from the parking area through the swamp to the Lake Simcoc shoreline One there visitors will be treated to a wildlife exposition Development of the swamp will also attract additional recreational development as the township moves towards its goal of an industrial- commercial recreational base TOWNSHIP OFFICIAL PLAN SHOWS inas population to triple by year 2000 SUTTON The population of Georgina Township is expected to during the next 23 years according to the townships official plan yWiv By the year 2000 the -r- townships major i Lake key to future residential areas will be Keswick and Sutton both fully serviced Keswick according to current projections will climb from Its curent population of 6000 to while Sutton will develop from to There will also be additional growth In although the township doesnt plan to have the hamlet serviced by Population In Pef ferlaw according to current plans will climb from the current estimated tOOO to about While population around the township will triple by the year 2000 Gcorginas unique urban- rural mix wont change Neither will the municipalitys small hamlets disappear ac cording to Mayor George Burrows Weve got about 30 of them Including Port Roister and Roches Point and they will remain as small communities notes the mayor Its very Im portant that those communities maintain their own identities Those identities will be determined largely by the- residents of the In dividual communities There will be a moderate amount of development but It will be residential develop ment explains the mayor Residents of the community will have to approve any changes in zoning By 2000 the township will have four Industrial parks designed to serve what Mayor Burrows describes as light manufacturing with tow water and sewage needs The smallest of the four acres in ferlaw will not be ser viced but the other three parks on acres in Keswick acres west of Sutton and acres east of Sutton will be I n u 1 development will be balanced with growth of the townships recreational and tourism services f M What we want to do is develop both says Mayor Burrows but the speed at which they will develop is hard to l WILL REMAIN A SMALL CENTRE esiz i AURORA Controlled growth are the watch In the future shape of the Town of Aurora Mayor George Timpson hopes the town would still one of Ontarios smaller centres by the year 2000 a population of a little less than 30000 just under double its present size Several public meetings have been held with residents close to new development in the past year and council has expressed willingness to restrict new receiving developments through the site plan agreement to conform with existing specifications is there in Aurora judging from the number of proposals the towns planning committee has been The reasons are a wish by council to keep the town a tight cohesive unit and a desire by York Region to green space between its member Hopefully in the near future Aurora will also have a belt of industrial land running from the Vandorf Side in up the eastern portion of the town close to the St Johns Side Road- According to the Toronto Centre Region Plan on Aurora for development will bo heavy due towns 12mile separation from the northern of Metropolitan Toronto the plan suggests that Aurora retain a degree of its recreational and agricultural while encouraging development radiating from central traffic artery provided by Yonge St Auroras present council has picked up on the of its predecessors and is finalizing an official for presentation to the Ontario Municipal Board year that will show the town growing a close One piece of property owned by the town another owned by Alliance Building Corporation and another currently owned by Properties could help Aurora toward a better split in industrialresiden tial assessment and a more stable tax bill After the process of infilling is complete the town will look toward the west north and southwest for residential expansion according to Mayor Developers are already pooling their resources in an effort to come up with a suitable plan for a study area bordered by St Wellington St and existing subdivisions in Aurora Heights for the day when expansion can begin But infilling along with allocations of water and sewage are helping to control wholesale development Aurora gets its water from wells and new sources must be found before large additions in population can be made Auroras sewage treatment plant will be enlarged from to 3 million gallons a day but the ability of Tannery Creek to handle higher volume is questionable present policy Is to have per cent of the wlpped of the town finished before any new ground Is broken a is known as infilling and not only are fathers attempting finish off those open for within the town but according to the most recent update of the plan attempting to make new computable With old In interim planning the is Jknown as Development Area 2 and will likely follow the same sort of Infilling before more expansion is approved have huge growth in one or two years would be a bad thing said Mayor Timpson adding that con tinuous staged growth would be better suited to stabilizing Untaxes el The potential for a boom town style growth pattern The coming of the planned YorkDurham sewage system commonly known as the Pipe in roughly will increase sewage capacity in Aurora but as Mayor Timpson pointed out the town will only De allocated a certain per cenlage due to the fact other municipalities including Newmarket will be serviced by the new scheme The council has also supported a move by the downtown merchants to revitalize the towns core to help maintain the centre from which Aurora will grow Mayor Timpson said he hoped Aurora in the future would be an industrial centre combined with a good mix of residential development and a healthy commercial service base peaceful looking farm strip of land running from the Vandorf area Aurora planners hope will jtrow a In the south up to the eastern portion crop new factories
