Smith, Clerk, County of York, 62 Bayview Avenue, Revised Zoning By-Law Will Be Discussed At Public Meeting Feb. 2nd The 70 foot set-back require- ment of the Richmond Hill Plan- ning Board for a proposed Dairy Queen outlet on Yonge Street will be one of the contentious clauses in the revised Land Use By Law which will be consid~ ered by Town Council nex-t Mon- day night. Mayor James Haggart has anâ€" nounced that this meeting will be devoted exclusively to con- sideration of this revised ')y law. Presented to Council last Nov., by the Planning Ed. the by law was given first reading last year. Mayor Haggart also announced that a public meeting will be held Thursday evening Febru- ary 2nd, when all ratepayers of the town will have an opportun- ity to ask questions and make suggestions regarding the by law In making the announcement the Mayor urged that all ratepayers take an interest in this import- ant local legislation. The revised zoning by law pre- pared by the Planning Board af- ter consultation with town plan- ning consultants is the result of many months study and consider- ation. It amends the existing by law and will be effective when approved by the Ontario Munic- ipal Board. Vaughan Deals With Estelle And Kleinberg On Monday night, Vaughan Township Council went through 23 pieces of business in exactly 34 minutes and then “em. “in committee,’ heralding a new way of running the townships' affair, sacrificing council-floor discus- sion for efficiency and employing council meetings only for the purpose of publicly' accepting or rejecting recommendations by various committee heads. acre property at Jane Street and No. 7 Highway until council has reviewed the entire situation and feels satisfied that Vaughan will get its due worth out of the land assessment-wise and in other ways. The property, owned by Bill Sills, entered the recent el- ection campaign when it was stated that two councillors were guilty of trying to place their interests above that of the town- ship. Former Councillor Bruce Ralph, one of those mentioned, said he had been the family sol- icitor for the Sills and nothing more. Some weeks ago, last year’s planning board, as one of its fin- ‘ a1 acts of the old year. permited Estelle Investments Ltd. to break up a parcel of land to construct a curling rink which. according to the principals will ultimately have 12 rinks and cost about $240,000. This decision by the board did not require council ap- proval. The former council mean- while agreed to advance some 540.000 of township money for roads and watermains. This is called 'stage one' of the by-law Two .recommendations repres- ented a rather flat climax to township questions which had created considerable interest a- mong ratepayers for several months prior to and during the recent elections. These involved the Estelle Industrial Subdivision and Kleinburg Estates Limited. Estelle There will be no further con- sent to severances of the 63: The new by law spells out very clearly the restrictions effective in the different zones. It provides that "no part of a basement or cellar of any building shall be used as a dwelling unit” except in the case of an apartment build- mgr The set-back for new build- ings in some sections of Yonge Street is seventy feet. There is provision for high rise apartments in certain areas and in others apartment buildings are not al- lowed. Copies of the proposed by law will be available at the Municipal offices and Mayor Haggart and members of council are most anx- ious that all ratepayers take an interest in the proposed changes and let council know if they have any objections. Once the by-law is passed it will be too late. The 70 foot set-back which will be only one of several conten- tious clauses may not, be adopted by council, At Monday night's meeting several council members while refusing to go along with the Mayor's censure of the Plan- ning Board made. it very plain they had varying opinions on the need for a ’70 foot,set-back on Yonge Street involved. Estimated cost of ad- vances for ‘stage two‘ improve- ments ot‘ the land affecting the curling rink is $60,000. If the Ontario Municipal Board approves the by-laws. the $60,000 will be used to build 1.347 feet of Edgeley Road, on which the industrial subdivision fronts. and a new. 940-foot Maple Creek Road. The curling rink would sit on a fourâ€"acre plot of land east of Jane Street and South of Highway 7. Under the clerk-treasurer‘s di- rection‘ the township now is in the process of preparing detailed reports for each department, in- cluding the planning and building committee, showing what has transpired in the past four or five years. These will have the effect of thoroughly familiarizing the new council with the de- velopment background of the township and in the light of present conditions will largely determine future decisions made by the township administrations. The planning board, this year made a seven-member body as against the former five-member body, has been asked by council to refuse any further severances on the Estelle property until ad- vised to do so. Severances must be granted before property is sold or mortgaged. Kleinburg Council instructed Mr. Keith Hopper, Consulting Engineer for Vaughan Township to establish a definite cost of installation of the watermains and construction of a‘pump house and reservoir with the necessary appurtenances for the Kleinburg area and the Kletinburg Estates Limited clearly establish its ability to pay its share of the cost of watermains and pump house and reservoir with the necessary appurtenances as provided in the agreement. At the same time it granted Klein- burg Estates permission to build a model house subject to town- ship by-laws and payment of the discharge fees. Background The value of Kleinburg 'Es- tales Ltd., south of the Klein- burg School, is about $200,000 according to information at hand. The land was bought by Klein- burg Estates late in 1960 from a firm headed by John Spence (Al- derhurst Development Ltd.) Two of the principals of Kleinburg Estates are Aaron Grad and Ar- nold Schniffer. who also were principals of Harmony Builders, the firm which built approxim- ater 116 houses in the Normaple Subdivision where recently sev- eral home owners have been up in arms over what they term faulty construction and inade- quate drainage. This controversy led to the setting up of a three- man committee including Deputy- Reeve Jesse Bryson who were charged with the task of inspec- ting the area homes and make a report to the ratepayers. This report is expected any time. Spence took a $50,000 down Spence took a $50,000 down payment and a $150,000 first mortgage in order to get his down payment. Kleinburg Estates Ltd. borrowed $37.174.20 from Del Brocco Contractors. This means the Kleinburg Estates Ltd., have a $13000 equity in the property pending the paying off of mort- gage obligations. l H515 Normally when a subdivider registers a plan with a township and the Ontario Department of Planning and Development he is required before getting building permits to post. a bond for wa- ter, sewers and roads. as the case might be. In the Kleinburg Estates case this bond was to have been $345,000.00. Instead of posting a bond or cash. the firm arranged to give Vaughan a se- cond mortgage for 8345.00000. Thus the company now has a tot- al of 353200000 in mortgages on property for which $200,000.00 was paid. In other words. the land is over mortgaged 5332.000.- ‘00. The gist of the recommenda- tion made by the Vaughan Water- works Commlttee and accepted by council at its Monday meeting simply means that Kleinburg Es- tates Ltd. must prove that it can pay for needed services. to the point that Vaughan as a whole will not run on financial A Euchre “fill be held on J1n- uary 20th at the home of Mrs. Joan Suter.

Vice-chairman Harold Sanderson made the motion, seconded by Trustee J. Rabinowitch. Chairâ€" man L. D.,Clement specified three reasons why it was nec- essary to hire a business administrator â€" first, Superin- tendent Gordon McIntyre has to give time which he should rightly devote to educational matters in the school system to supervision of its business. Secondly, the amount of work the individual board members have to put in is great. said Chairman Clement, “I for one couldn‘t keep it up indefinite- ly." And thirdly, “We might not always have competent people on the board to do the job right,” added the chair- man. Mr. Roy Taylor and Mr. Bill 1Snow of the Richmond Hill Kins- men Club appeared before the board to discuss the use of Mc- Conaghy Public School auditor- ium by the boys‘ club. They com- plained there are no storage fa- cilities and no room for crafts. The board had originally asked the club to send representatives to a board meeting to discuss lack of supervision and some damage to school property by the club. Chairman Clement explained that the' board was in no position to provide storage facilities for out- side organizations. The school board, he explained, encouraged outside organizations to use the classrooms after school hours but to provide storage facilities for groups other than the school would be too costly. Later the club representatives were told a claSSroom which had been used Trustee Mrs. Connie Matthews asked, “What is the range of salaries which the board expects to pay the busi- ness administrator?” Chairman Clement answered, “In the range of a principal.” THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, January 19, 1961 waver ZOO-people from all sec= tthews asked, “What is the tions of York North Riding gath- )ard expects to pay the busi- ered to pay tribute to the recently elected Party Leader, who was ac- nan Clement answered, “In companied on the visit by Mrs. l Argue.
