And he came away sounding very pleased. “We “had in Very gom'l meeting. One of the best we’ve had,” said Reeve Burnett. Municipal Affairs Minis- ter Darcy McKeough didn’t give the council any indi- cation Whitchurch Town- ship was going to disap- pear. said the reeve. It seems there's just to be some changes around the towns to add some lands suitable for annexa- tion to Newmarket.‘ Aurora and Stouffville, Reeve Bur- nett said. Newmarket applied for annexation of land com- prising about 300 acres be- tween lts boundaries and Highway 404. but this ap- plication was stopped when regional government came into the picture. Mr. Burnett said the in- dication from the Minister still was that regional government was definitely going through this year. The legislation would be passed in March and the boundaries could be ironed out during the summer. The matter of boundar- ies was discussed. and Whitchurch council sugges- ted its same boundaries be retained. The meeting of Whit- church with Municipal Af- fairs Minister McKeough had to be postponed late last year because of a crowded calendar. .Most other York County munic- ipalities had meetings at Queen’s Park at that time.

We would like to know who would bear the cost of this, the present property owners, the nursing home, or the town- ship." Mrs. Agnew was also unhappy that the building permit, to al- low the present home to be re- novated into a nursing home, was granted without township council being originally in- formed. Reeve Gordon Cook pointed out that there was no zoning bylaw for the Fog Road area and therefore the issuance of such a permit did not require council approval. He also said that according to his information the pro- prietors of the nursing home had only applied for a permit to build a 16-bedroom nursing home. The reeve referred to an ear- lier meeting the council had with the nursing home spokes- men which centred around the reconstruction of the unassumed road. An unassumed road is one that hasn‘t been built to De- partment of Highways standards and thus isn't eligible for pro- vincial subsidies. “We pointed out to the nurs- ing home people that the $80,- 000 necessary to reconstruct a portion of the road would have to be paid by them. We told them the township wouldn‘t be responsible. That’s as far as the matter has gone to date." stated Reeve Cook. It was pointed out that the license to operate the home had been issued by the York-Oshawa Health Unit and did not require council sanction. “It’s a matter of courtesy to us that they have held up final issuance of the permit because 10f the problem involved," said ione councillor. v Councillor Gordon Rowe ob- served that the nursing home renovations “are of a very ela- borate nature and there’s not a doubt in my mind they plan more than 15 bedrooms... They must plan on expanding." The other resident represen- tative at the meeting. Mr. Poole. complained that it would be ir- responsible to allow a nursing home to commence operations without improving the road be- cause of the potential fire haz~ ards. He added that it was his un- derstanding that a “county byâ€" law for nursing homes required that the road on which it is located must be brought up to proper standards. This road at times in the past has been im- passable at certain times of the year and will be again with adâ€" ditional traffic.” He said he would also like to know whether council had any authority to halt the nurs- ing home. Mr. Poole requested council to do everything in its power to assure the license to operate the nursing home not to be given “until after the spring breakup or We'll be in an im- possible mess.” Reeve Cook closed the leng- thy discussion by stating the council would endeavor to meet with the nursing home spokesmen and discuss the mat- ter further. "We haven't heard any more from them since we told Qhem we wouldn‘t be responsible for the cost of bringing the road up to provincial standards," he said.

Mr. Gelleny said the board‘s Mr. Gelleny said the board‘s 1.500 square foot minimum floor space requirement for new homes was too high. He maintained the township had no such bylaw. Developer Gelleny said 1,500 square feet of floor space was too much for retired couples and small families. Also, a home of 1.500 square feet floor space could be built with less assessment than some homes with 1,250 feet of floor space Mr. Gelleny said many homes were being built with far more than the minimum 1.500 square feet in existing subdivisions. It would be better planning to al- low a mixture of large and small homes in a development. If the minimum was lower, he said. peeple would still keep the average above 1,500 square feet by their own choice. Re- tired people and young couples were being penalized. Robert Sillcox said after the meeting it was a pretty sorry impasse when hydro was without any absolute idea of the land with which they were dealing. and this after three meetings at which de- tails of the right-of-way examination were requested. “There's a history of this . . . this history must change . . . not just going by the decision of some technician in an ivory tower." said Mr. Sillcoxi There was an Albion Township Councillor at the meeting and it is clear Albion and Whitchurch haven‘t agreed to anything, he said.
