forty percent not practical board stouffville a forty percent industrial ratio may be ideal but not always practical suggested members of stouffviue planning board at a meeting march 26 the discussion arose during consideration of amendments to the village official plan a portion of the area considered ex tends to the east and west of the present con servation dam an estimated 600 homes are proposed at this location board chairman bill kamps said the village could demand 40 percent industrial buildup but by doing so would- nullify completely the con struction of any homes reg mackay however was more firm on inclusion of industrial assessment we are required to provide additional services because residential development like this one demands it its a vicious circle chairman kamps replied that in his opinion a 40 percent industrial demand was too high he said too that with respect to homes some thought should be given to providing accommodation for young couples and lower income groups who are finding it increasingly difficult to purchase a house today on this point member ken wagg had a different view he said that if the industrial percentage was to be lowered then home valuations should be kept up in order that the development should not pose a tax hardship on the rest of the village he recommended that a portion of the subdivision contain homes in the 35 to 40000 range the developers will scream he said but in a buildup of this size it must be allowed why send them all into the country mr waggs reference was to the number of high class homes located in rural areas outside of stouff viue mr mackay said his main concern was that the development should produce sufficient assessment to carry itself eleven maps all different internal york boundary
