(Photo by Stuart’s Studio) Parks, Recreation, Sports Land Plan Being Studied In Markham Township Preparation of a master plan of development for parks. rec~ reation and sports facilities in Markham Township is being considered by the township Planning Board. Sunday shopping is being of- ficially opposed by the Willow- dale Businessmen’s Association. In a brief to North York's traf- fic. fire and licensing committee the association has asked that council oppose any move to- ward legalizing open Sunday. A spokesman for the associa- tion says businesses should re- main closed on Sunday as an anti-inflationary measures. This is based on the premise that employees demand higher pay for Sunday work and these operating costs are passed on to the customers. The possibility of adding a development fee for each home unit constructed, is being stud~ iedi lull“ i Such unit fees would be used by p; to pay for land acquisition and ner a the construction of community to m. leisure facilities in new subdiv- reatic isions and apartment areas. plann Particularly needed. es- Th‘ pecially in the Thornhill Flam area. are large community aka t‘ parks capable of handling mama major sports activities and ment large group gatherings.

York Open Sunday “The only stores which should be open are those selling necessities, such as milk and bread,” declared Ozzie Higgins. “No one would argue that we should be able to get these items at all time." He also suggests that gasoline stations should be open on a rotating basis on Sundays. “We must have services available, but this is different from having wide-open Sundays," he said. The association's unqualified opposition is also based on the fact that “Everyone deserves a day of rest,” Mr. Higgins con- tinued “and a universal day best se’es the need of the community.” Mr. Higgins will be asked to present the association’s views to the next meeting of the borough’s traffic, fire and lic- ensing committee. Existingisubdivisions in the main have only been required to supply enough land for neighborhood tot lands and jun- ior play areas. They do not us- ually provide for active sport. The existing space is mainly for horticultural uses and activities of a passive nature. A report on recreation. park and sport lands was prepared by Parks Manager Alan Sum- ner and was recently presented to the township parks and rec- reation committee and to the planning board. The planning board has asked Planning Director Kunio Hid- aka to co‘operate with the parks manager to draft a joint state- ment on public land planning for presentation to the parks and planning boards. “In view of the rapid devel- “Where a stream 01‘ Water- opment taking place in various course traverses a Piece Of areas of the township, a set land dedicated for park pur- policy should be established as Poses and is used as a storm to the types of recreation lands sewer, then 30 feet on either that should be provided, and side of the stream should be also setting out the manner in considered storm sewer. and which these lands should be 013- not part of the five Percent tained.“ writes Parks Manager of land being dedicated; Sumner. “In all draft plans that In- “Parks and recreation area, insofar as the township is con- cerned, would be divided into types as follows: . “Neighborhood parks ~â€" which would include tot lots or junior play areas. but not pro- vide for active sport.

"Where feasible. five percent‘ of subdivision lands should be acquired for park purposes (as required by provincial regula- tions); “In all draft plans that in- clude multiple density housing. it should be understood at the time of site plan approval that extra land will be required.

Failing this, an extra suite fee should be charged for use in purchasing additional land; “A portion of all suite fees charged against multiple unit developments should be used for park development; “All proposed park sites should be inspected prior to final approval in order to as- certain the usability of the land for park purposes, keeping in mind the balance between ac- tive and passive activities, ldrainage. proximity of other park areas, and all other as- pects that could enter into a complete parks system: “The policy of securing land in in d u s t rial subdivisions should be continued; “Where feasible. all park lands included in subdivisions should be graded. covered with topsoil. and seeded by the de- veloper."

Conditions of the approval were that a culvert be installed to gain access to Campbell Ave- nue, with a concrete protection pad over the gas main near the track. That Crestwood Road be left in as good condition as it is and the temporary road be cov- ered with top soil and sod to re- turn it to its original condition, were parts of the agreement. “Why would they have un- loaded 36 culvert pipes for only two transformers?
