It deals with the pro- posed llurlburt ject. llaving burt Apartment project for the erection of high density apart- ment buildings at the southeast corner of Elizabeth and Centre Streets. neighbouring residents were extremely concerned about the possible implications. They took opportunity to attend meet- cautionary letter to council signed by 59 and residents rc~ ilearning more about the proposal. Apartment pro-i learned of the llurl-s I itlle fact that all the councillors. l ings of council on Monday even-v ings. May 8 and 15. and as a preg‘ measure presented a' West CentreI Ratepayers Associationi Issues Statement On Hurlburt Apt business deals. has been shroud- ed in conflicting information from the start. Ratepayers at- tending this meeting on May 17. were. however. certain of two ‘things. Firstly. that the character of Richmond Hill in their area was being threatened in spite of with the exception of the mayor, were disturbed about this. Sec- ondly. far from being concerned with the character of this part of our town. Mayor llaggart was ac- tively pushing the Hurlburt pr artment scheme. Councillor lloward Whillans ex- plained to the meeting of ratepay- ICES held on May 17 that the plati- ining board on which he sat had ;consistcntly been rejecting the lHllrlburt Apartment. Desiring to ‘What they heard at IIICSE meet- got an expert opinion on the mat- ings eollvinccd them that the I Hurlburt proposals were of such magnitude as to create a very iserious situation.

The resulting congestion of people and cars in imagined than described. Of great concern to ratepayers and residents who attended coun- cil was the obvious disregard for their interests by Mayor James Haggart. In fact. it was tthe May- ior who made the proposal at the icouncil meeting on May 8 that a special spot zoning of this area be made to allow for the Hurlburt IApartments. Residents noted with tdeepcning concern that he has persisted in favouring this scheme in council meetings against the general feeling and expressed opinion of the majority of coun- icil members. At council meeting. May 15. the Yonge Street Business and Professional Association present- ed a brief in support of the Hurl- burt proposition. It was evident .to the ratepayers’ representatives attending council that the major- ity of councillors were far from iimpressed with either the assoc- iation’s brief or the Mayor's plea. In fact, councillors refuted some li ht lubricants and never ex- . . eegeded 20 mph.

This argument Phones 2sfrom past and rather bitter ex- TU 4.1812 TU 4.7811 perience just does not hold waf- er. Actually the reverse was true. :People followed industry rather than industry following people. i’I‘he entire council with the ex- ception of the mayor were ob- posal as it stood. Councillor Margaret Southwell expressed the sentiment of the majority of council members and ratepayers when she gave the fol- lowing opinion in council on May 15. People. she said. had moved up from the crowded City of Tor- onto to Richmond Hill because of the Hill‘s low residential den- sity. This lack of crowding made Richmond Hill a pleasant place in which to live and she thought it highly desirable that it be so kept. Disturbed by the above revel- ations. ratepayers attending coun- cil meetings called a meeting of ratepayers on Richmond. Bridge- ford. Centre and Elizabeth Sts. Only a few of the ratepayers who attended this meeting on Wednes- ‘day, May 17. were aware of this threat to the character of their district. This was not surprising .because the Hurlburt Apartment jscheme. like other speculative 'at the moment appears to consistipcrience with a residential area can better be. I t I viously against the Hurlburt pro-- , senting the iter. the planning board approach- for the Metro Toronto Planning Board. who had invaluable ex- such projects in Toronto. This planning expert backed the Richmond Hill Plan~ ning Board in their refusal to approve the Hurburt Apartments .‘as proposed. Instead of spot zoning for the ‘benefit of one builder. who had stated his intention to sell the apartments once built. the plati- ning board were concerned with the development of Richmond Hill as a whole. which the plan- ning board insisted must be de- .veloped in conformity with the low density character of the town. Ratepayers attending council meetings were able to assure the meeting of the ratepayers that pressed opinions of the council. the mayor excepted. this larger planning scheme in contemplation. because of the pressure being brought to bear to spot zone for the benefit of the Hurlburt Apart- ed to form a ratepayers‘ associa- tion. It was noted by ratepayers that council had already approved. in principle. plans for a 45 suite apartment to be built where Rich- mond and Elizabeth Streets join. which is less than 500 feet from the proposed new 80 suite Hurl- burt Apartment area. Great concern was therefore expressed over the traffic problem which would affect the already over- crowded Richmond. Elizabeth and Centre Streets. ‘ Ratepayers. while acknowledg- ing that apartments may be er- ected in the area under discus- sion. were unable to understand why the speculator was not being held to the existing by-laws. They were also very conscious of the tragic consequences which had befallen other municipalities by the laxity of enforcement of the of special privileges to specula- tive builders. “What”. asked a ratepayer. “is to prevent speculators buying property in any quiet residential area. allowing it to fall into di- lapidation and using this as an excuse to have the area rezoned for his personal financial gain to the detriment of the residents?" Notwithstanding the assurance of Councillor Whillans that the ma- jority of council is concerned with the protection of the ameni- ties of residential areas. it was deemed advisable. because of the pressures which are being brought to bear in this proposi- tion. to elect a committee repre- ratepayers associa- tion. This committee would keep in touch with developments and make representations to council. and if necessary, to the Ontario Municipal Board. The following ratepayers were elected to the above committee: Mrs. Rosalind Anderson. Messrs. Steven Appleby, Cyril Bell, Doug- las Boyd, Bill Ferguson, Mac Langton, Bill Leishman.
