weeks tracy kibble residents of vandorf say they arent antidevelopment but insist its their right to be involved in any plans to establish indus trial growth in their small communities there is nothing wrong with development we cant stop that and we dont want to what we want is planned controlled devel opment and we should be given the basic right for input said pride and preston lake ratepayer group president chuck cun- dari in light of the residents consistent demands for involvement which have been known to the town for at least two years stouf fville politicians agreed last week to include the residents in the process to map out boundaries of a secondary plan for the van- dorftpreston lake areas residents reiterated their stand at last weeks planning meeting regarding a proposal to place a 34acre industrial park in vandorf ratepayer groups from both areas packed the chambers last tuesday to tell politicians they want a fullfledged secondary plan for the entire area to ensure healthy planning but the vandorf west business park group which wants to develop 34 acres of rural lands has stated their project has merit and wont affect surrounding lands the investors group says they have already spent more than 150000 on studies to prove plans for industrial growth and a subsequent reduced study area wont cause detrimental effects to surrounding lands ward 1 councillor ivanka bradley said shes in favor of the larg er secondary plan scenario because it provides vision planning provides a big portion of community life and to devi ate from the longterm scenario is counter productive bradley told the tribune bradley who said her constituents are not antidevelopment and who realize the town needs to build a commercial core said last weeks meeting was positive because residents are now ensured involvement in the process we can now start to work together she said and cundari said it doesnt make sense to map out a smaller official plan amendment and rezoning just because developers offer to pay our main concern is a lack of visionary planning without look ing at the larger logical boundary area councillors say well the developers will pay so lets do it and thats wrong cun dari said although york region supports a reduced study area calling the larger plan inappropriate town staff recommended council wait until a fullfledged environmental study for both areas is undertaken and industrial plans be held in abeyance until its completion officials agreed to set up stagebystage meetings including ratepayer group heads to establish where the boundaries should be placed theyve finally realized the people want input cundari said government duplication costly town from page 1 tech computers should record which agency wants its docu ments in both languages and which ones require only english documents i thought thats what com puters were for she said ward 1 councillor ivanka bradley agreed and suggested the town send a resolution to other york region councils and bombard the province with objections to receiving two copies of every document it sends out if we dont keep chipping away were never going to change this policy the mayor added senior media relations offi cers for ontarios francaphone affairs denis bertrand told the tribune that legislation doesnt force documents to be sent out in both languages bertrand said the french language act does state that 22 designated provincial areas which have a high number of frenchspeaking residents must receive literature in both languages but whitchurchstouffville is not one of them he admitted why did the health ministry then send its report on long term care in both english and french i dont know i cant answer that it must have been con fused in the mailing youd have to ask the health min istry bertrand said when asked how much it cost each year to duplicate the reports three provincial civil servants couldnt answer the question a nice gift photalori emmerson ida
