Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, June 10, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- Coroner Says Will Release BUFFER ZONE INVASION STARTS Remember Oshawa's Buffer Zone? It's the lush 1,527-acre greenbelt strip set aside by he City in 1951 as a protection against disorderly planning and development in the outer perimeter (around three sides of Oshawa.) It was originally designed as a 20-year protection plan, bur things didn't work out that way; concentrated efforts to break into the Buffer were noted in October of 1959, when , 6-5, barely thwarted an application by Harmony Heights Ltd. (Sam Jackson, Jr., was president) to open up a Harmony road north site. City Engineer Fred Crone also opposed the application -- he said the sewer trunk system in the area was inadequate. It has long been a subject of bitter debate, heated wrangling, especiallyq at City Hall level. Council, dramatically and unexpectedly, opened the door part-way to invasion F of the Buffer last week to ® allow occupancy of 547 acres (in six new residential land parcels to accommodate approximately 7,200.) COUNCIL STARTED BALL ROLLING No new. invasion is ex- pected before 1970. Who and what prompted this premature invasion? City Council started the ball rolling because it felt there was a need for more KEN CRONE housing? Council passed a resolution last November 14 and requesi- ed the Oshawa Planning Board "to review those areas now zoned as.'Buffer' and 'Farm' to determine if the time is op- portune to re-zone certain portions of the 'buffer' and 'farm' districts to such categories which would permit full urban development." This was a formality to enable the Board to directly re- quest G. A. "'Bert" Wandless, City Planning Director, and his staff, to prepare such a detailed (and time-consuming re- port) as an amendment to one of December, 1959. The report was. not started until early this year and was only completed late in May -- to expediate the matter with- out delay, Council held a special session June 2, the following night after its regular June 1 open meeting. The plan was endorsed that night. Said Chairman Ken D. Crone of the seven-man Oshawa Planning Board: "It was necessary to have the special re- port prepared by Mr. Wandless approved by Council without delay to prevent land speculation. The final details of the re- port were kept top secret -- they were known only to the Planning Board (which includes Mayor Lyman Gifford, Al- dermen John Dyer and Cliff Pilkey) late in the previous week and to City Council, as a whole, June 2. Mr. Crone emphasized this week that the report was also kept from "'observers" to the Board, persons usually permitted to attend general meetings on behalf of such organizations as the Board of Education, the Oshawa Builders Association, the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board (which courtesy ' has been vociferously opposed on numerous occasions by people like Alderman John Dyer.) What a saving the Board of Education could have effected on land purchases had it sensed which way the Buffer inva- | sion winds were blowing ! c THREE SUBDIVIDERS LOOK AHEAD . Three Oshawa subdividers signed "offers to purchase" earlier this year on strategic land sites within the 574-re- zoned acres of the Buffer Zone recently opened up. Michael Zygocki, builder and general contractor, obtained 25-30 acres of the McClure site west of the Oshawa Shopping Centre near the new Oshawa Civic Auditorium (on the west side of Waverley street.) Herman Kassinger Construction and Development Ltd. obtained 50 acres of the Levine property (north of Rossland east and west of Wilson road), but only 37 is in the areas re- zoned R-1. Braemor Gardens (Allan W. Banfield Construction Ltd. and Goldman Developments Ltd.) obtained approximately 130 acres from Herbert Schuermann of Thornton's road north, but only 60-odd acres is in the re-zoned R-1-B. The above subdivisions will be located nearest to avail- "able sewer links and other services MILLMAN NOT UNHAPPY WITH INVASION Norman Millman, Oshawa's respected "Father of Town Pianning", said in 1959 the Buffer Zone should not be opened up until the population hit the 90,000 mark -- he said this week that he was not unhappy about the invasion as it was to be done in an orderly manner The Land Use Plan of the City of Oshawa was passed by Council April 30, 1951, when the population was 40,727. The plan was based on a population of 90,000. The Wandless report says it would be unwise to wait until the 90,000 people were housed before invading the strip. "It would be unwise to completely eliminate. the buffer at this time; penetra- tions into the strip should be based on a set of ground rules and taking into con- sideration the development of the past 13 years. It is also important to note that the Land Use Plan of 1951 was predicated on a fore- re casted development period NORMAN MILLMAN of 20 years. Thirteen years ot this 20-year plan have passed. In the light of development which has occurred since annexation, the time is now oppor- tune to make a review of the development in the past 13 years." 89,000 POPULATION BY 1973 The Wandless report states further the projected growth of the City (based on trends of the past 13 years) shows a population of 89,000 by 1973, and adds: "It is, therefore, evi- dent that all vacant, sewerable residential land will be com- pletely developed within the next 10-year period. At the pres- ent time there are few parcels of land, 20 acres or more, under one ownership, which are available for residenfial subdivision. Various blocks of land are owned by individual builders; other parcels are controlled by land developers Past experience has demonstrated the difficulty of assembling small parcels of land into an acreage sufficient for proper and economical: subdivision. This invasion of the Buffer Zone was unexpected by the general public -- in view of the above chain of events, it did not likely come as a surprise to the subdividers, or Council, although they would have no official way of knowing which areas would be opened up unless they reasoned (as some apparently did) that it would be nearest to the available gervices, euch as established trunk sewer lines, etc. ~ bs Secret Notes OTTAWA (CP) -- Coroner Dr J. S. Cross said Tuesday night! he will release a transcript of} a secret inquest conducted by him here last Thursday into the death of a baby born in a hotel room to an unmarried mother. "But I do so with great reluc- tance," he said. Dr. Cross had said earlier he would not release the transcript even if ordered to do so by At- torney-General Wishart. He re-) lented after being asked to do; so by Ontario's chief coroner, /Dr. H, B. Cotnam. : Dr. Cross repeated that "the transcript really shouldn't be re- leased." "It is not going to do anyone any good and could cause a great deal of harm," he said. He could not see the sense of, "anyone paying money for news! a week old." "But if the attor-' ney-general wishes . . . I will release the transcript." \ Dr. Cotnam said earlier that | he believed Dr. Cross had acted jin good faith "for the sake of |common decency," but the Cor- joner's Act, made it compu'sory \to provide transcripts to anyone willing to pay a stenographer to\__ copy it. | | Grade 13 Change Report Coming | TORONTO (CP) -- Education | Minister William Davis will re- ceive a report within the next two weeks that may lead to by Prime 13 cirriculum in time for the) the 1964-65 school year.
