(HEW 'eomplefe of handsome ver deep super iKing Chairman King Township's Planning‘ Board at its July 11 meeting asked Chairman Donald Find- lay to reconsider his resigna- tion. The request was unanim- ous and was prompted by Verne Plant of Oak Ridges who stated that King Township needs a person of Mr. Findlay’s calibre and experience as a member of the municipal planning board. If Mr. Findlay declines this] request his resignation will have to be considered by King Township Council, the body which appointed him. Mr. Findlay submitted his resignation to planning board July 10. It was the aftermath of an Ontario Municipal Board hearing held July '7 on a town- ship amending land-use bylaw. This proposed new township bylaw provides that no resi- dence may be built on parcels of land with an area of 10 acres or more and with less than 25 acres, except in a registered subdivision. Mr. Findlay, King City law- yer, was refused permission by the township solicitor to defend the board’s approval of the 83- foot 101; subdivision at the hear- ing. In his letter of resignation he charged that the evidence presented did not include the board‘s reasons for approval and so had “put the planning board in a poor light.” During the OMB hearing evidence was given that coun- cil had not approved a sub- division which had been re- commended by planning board. Other members of the plan- ning board are Reeve Gordon Heated discussion then arose on the board's proposal to erect a senior public school 1% miles south of Ballantrae on Concession 8 to serve the 290 grade 7 and 8 students in the township. This was strongly opposed by Transportation Committee Chairman Wesley Brillinger who felt that the proposed site was too close to the eastern border of the town- ship and many students would have to be transported long distances and three or four extra buses required. Mr. Brillinger favored a site on Concession 5 which the board was considering two years ago. as it was more central and buses could use mainly county roads which would be well cleared during the winter. Trustee Irene Bacon had also been opposed to the site.
