decision was reached on the future of a proposed 3storey partment building on wilson street at the conclusion of an omb hearing which started august 31 and resumed sept 18 omb chairman v h thompson impeded by the lack of a site plan or site plan agreement to define and regulate the dimensions of the building on the iarrow 30 foot lot delayed a decision on the towns ap plication for approval of a bylaw to permit the development he upheld however a motion made by the developers solicitor donald malcolm that further consideration of the bylaw be delayed until a site dlan is submitted during the hearing ronald rogerson owner of the property told the board his- apartment plans had been approved by the previous markham council in 1969 and by the present council in 71 he considered ob jections from residents came from people opposed to all apart- inent building development in the area and from neigh bors who believed that the project would be a highrise of about 100 suites confirming this latter view rev harry strachan whose backyard faces the rogerson lot said when i signed an objection to apart ments in my backyard i envisioned a high- rise going up he added that he now recognized the structure as lowrise and felt he had an obligation to mr rogerson and that it would not be humanitarian to take away a mans living rev strachan sympathised with residents on wilson street i would not want apartments on my street he ad mitted and suggested that a preferable move would be for the town to buy the property and preserve it as parkland concern expressed by mr thompson a the august
