Not everyone was against the apartments, however, Several residents spoke up in favor of them, with one woman arguing that long time residents, who no longer had any use for their big houses. should not be forced to move away from the vi]- lage because of that, but be able to move into an apart- ment. Land developers had every right to develop their land and the planning board had to see that the wishes of the developers and those of the municipality were co-ordin- ated to bring about the best possible result, Markham Township Planning Director Ian Keith said last week at a meeting of the planning board in Buttonville. The meeting was called to discuss a proposed amendment to the official plan of the township, which would allow high rise apartments in part of Thornâ€" hill The area concerned covers 18.5 acres on' Yonge Street between Clark and Elgin, and 1.7 acres at Yonge and Land Owners Have Rights T 00, Thornhill RatepayersTold IF you are planning to buy or trade a Guitar, We have over 40 models in stock AT ALL TIMES Quality is vital for Accordions, have in mind in 1 Yonge St. 5.

The amendment also â€"â€" as opposed to the official Plan â€" reduces the densities from 15 to 13.5 persons per acre. and from 25 to 18.5 persons. making the poten- tial population 11,000. instead of 14,300. Mr. Keith, who read from a report on the amendment, said an appendix to the re- port suggested that. “as a general principle the height of apartment buildings will be limited to seven storeys above grade.” One of the main objections of the ratepayers is that the addition of high rise apart~ ments Would mean more school age children and sub- sequently more schools to ac- commodate them. Education costs now constitute 52 per cent of taxesu He said a seven storey building would cover 21 per cent of a site, while a five storey building would cover 30 per cent. It was also found that the lower buildings had a greater number of two-and- three bedroom suites than the higher ones. Mr. Keith said public school costs for single-family dwellings amounted to $140 or 36 per cent of the tax paid. Taxes for apartment dwellings were $30 or 12 per cent. “It is significant to note then. that the average cost of public school education is greater for the average EXPERT TUITION ON ACCORDIONS single-family household than the average apartment unit. both on the basis of dollars and on a percentage of taxes to the municipality." Mr. Keith said, reading from his report He said a substantial crease in two-bedr apartments. such as in sonettes, would boost costs to about 40 per cer the tax revenue. Mr. Keith said that. con- trary to being a continuing financial loss to the muni- cipality, with “anticipated re- duced general administrative costs per dwelling unit in contrast to single-family de- velopment, apartment devel- opment should be a tax bonus to the township.” In the matter of services, water supply and sewer dis- posal facilities in the area of the proposed amendment were satisfactory. Storm drainage facilities were not adequate, however, and apartment developers were being asked to pay a suite fee to cover the estimated costs of these facilities. Increased fire protection would be necessary and extra police would be needed, al- though the latter need was not expected to increase as quickly with new apartment development. as with single- family development. Dr. John Fotheringham, one of the spokesmen for the group, said that no mention had been made of expected Bayview Plaza A 1966 fastback Volkswagen. A twin-carburetor Volkswagen. A family Volkswagen.

SERVICE traffic problems, or possible road widening. Mr. Keith said it was diffi- cult to find even engineers who were willing “to come to grips with the problem." It seemed to be impossible to develop an urban project without creating such a prob- lem. So far as streets were con- cerned. collector streets such as John. Henderson, Grand- view. Glencameron. Proctor and Dudley. would require an additional 10 feet on each side. Beyond that, the exist- ing 66 feet would be enough. The cost would be borne by the township.
