* 12 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, October 29, 1964 Mandamus Sought Against Planning Board Decrees said Reeve C. W. Laycox. "I don't mind granting the -build- ing permit, but it affects the whole township. We'll have 50 people in here with the same request if this is granted." Councillor Newman suggested that no action be taken at the present time. He suggested that perhaps a change in the plan- ning act in this respect would be timely. _ 'We should have as much time as possible to get this laophole plugged." BROUHAM -- Miss Violet, Swan, a former Pickering Town- ship Councillor, will attempt, in the courts, to force the town- Pa grant her a building per- ia : Three abutting properties are|: registered in her name. One of the lots has no frontage on a road. There is a house on' one. She wishes to build another house, and has been refused a building permit. The zoning bylaw says that no person shall erect more than one main building on one main lot. The planning att contains a clause which stipulates that where there is an abutting ownership, -it is but one parcel. NO RELATION CLAIMED Miss Swan's solicitor main- tains that the planning act is not related to the township zoning bylaws, and since the lot con- forms to planning board re- quirements, that she should be granted a building permit. "Up to now we have not per- mitted two dwellings on one lot,""* said Planning Director John Faulkner, "If we did, then anyone could. come in and divide, say, a 100-foot lot into two 50-foot lots. If we grant one consent, we are going to|councillor. grant them unlimited." "It will leave the whole town- ship wide open,"' said Councillor Newman. "I don't see why Miss Swan should be penalized, nor do I see why we should grant this, because of policy." "I hate to think of what will happen if we granted this," themselves "Let it go to court," ta said Mr. Campbell. 'The purpose is the spirit of the law, not the letter of the law." MEMBER REQUIRED R. R. McLaughlin, appointed last week as a member of the planning board, has declined the office. He resides in Toron- to, but spends much of his time at his home in Pickering Town- ship, Councillor Harvey Spang again expresseds his desire to have someone on the board from Ward 1, which is not rep- resented. "I think we should have a} man who has lived in the town-| jurist ship for some time," said the | "IT think we should at least know the person we appoint." that volunteers for an office hav- ing read about a vacancy were usually the best appointees on a board. . + Suggestions will. be made, and a member appointed, be- fore the Nov. 12 meeting of the planning board. TREES DAMAGED Councillor W. G. Newman spoke of Bell Telephone cables being laid. on a sideroad off Highway 7, in which the roots of fine trees were cut and dam- aged. Digging was done, he said, where it was easiest, without thought of the destruction of trees in front of homes. Reeve Laycox said that the township engineer and. the de- aprtment of transport were con- sulted, and shown the plans, be- fore cables were laid. "I think in the north end," said Mr, Newman, "'things are just done where it is convenient, and little thought is given to matters of importance to the residents."

The planning board feels hidden parks are of no use| to anyone. This opens the park up and makes it useable." The park he speaks of exists, and eouncillors have found that no park lands can be sold for 20 years without 'special ap- proval of the minister, This' places another barrier in the by Pp ng the borders of the park on'a travelled thorough- fare. CHILD PROTECTION "To me the whole idea of the removing of 16 feet when the park is small enough anyway, is not good," said Councillor Waring. "There is. nothing to protect children from that road- way. I feel that we are doing this just' to suit the whims of CBC. To add insult to injury, they are giving us a small:piece of land which they don't want, and which is no good to us." (To replace the 16 feet by 381 fect strip for a roadway, the de- » veloper is donating a 50 foot|covers this lot.) : "They should come forward," said Mr. Waring, "with the lot fee as every other subdivider has to do -- whether they have built more or less housing -- it doesn't matter, As for the water and sewers -- this idea of paying for them -- they are be- ing paid for by the owners in their heavy monthly mortgage bills. They are part of the sale price of the homes." ae "I take violent exception* to the whole. thing," said Council- lor Newman, "but. the situation is there.
