It is reported that this dump would cover at least 10.000 acres and be a sanitary landfill operation with compact- ed garbage covered with earth every day. All municipalities in the province would have access to the dump via shuttling ref- use trains. The major rail lines north from Metro run through Vaughan. Markham and Rich- mond Hill. San Francisco and Philadel- phia are now undertaking pilot programs to test the operation of a wilderness dump. Metro itself considered the possibility several years ago and discarded it as too expensive â€"- but that was before the present squeeze became so tight.

' It says the proposed parkway should be located further north, possibly through Oak Ridges. It also says Metro mustn’t heal: loWed to grab off the south end of Markham and Vaughan, a move which would fragment a developing area. A new sewer system up the Rouge River Val- ley to serve 600.000 people is advocated. The draft copy says the plan- ning report was prepared to show the effects Metro and provincial prOposals would have on the health and well-being of Markham Town. its residents and property owners. Commenting on the May 5, 1970 Toronto-Centred Region Plan the draft report reads as follows: DEFECTIVE DOCUMENT “For a document purporting to be the basis for development (and to serve as guide and plan for a prime impact area of 8.- 600 square miles and an inter- action area of 15,000 square miles in the heartland of Onâ€" tarioi for a population of eight million â€" it is defective in con- cept and lacking in scholarship and depth. “Ourr first request is that the UAI‘ “IUUEB FAKE‘VVA! iKOlllng OX ZU A6816 DU‘EEL'dllu DCIHLU UABLCLGIJU, us. u.“ Torontocentred Region plan “An area eminently suitedIMaple. escaped injury. iMaple. not be officially adopted 01- would be at the height of land Vaughan Division of York] Damages also totalled $3.0t implemented until it is subject north of Markham in the mor-_Regional Police said the accid-lin a two-car accident Friday 4 to a critical review by a panel aine area.

The draft report suggests a royal commission be establishegl. The draft report is proposed as the basis of a town council’s submission to Premier William Davis. It was prepared under the direction of the town’s resigning head of planning Kunio Hidaka. It says the province’s proposed parkway belt to run along a proposed super-highway between Rich- {nond dHill and Thornhill is misconceived and mis- ocate . The draft report also says the Toronto Region Plan by the year 2,000 should provide for an addi- tional 600,000 people in Markham instead of the 69,000 prOposed in the province’s recent Status Report on the Toronto-Centred Region Plan. Propose Forty-Six 2-Acre Estate Lots 113=Aere Summit Area Development The proposal is to subdivide these holdings into 46 estate type single family lots each having an average area of 2.2 acres with the smallest 101; area being two acres. Also proposed is a bIOCk of land for parks purposes and two highway commercial blocks on the Yonge Street frontage. The property is located opposite the Summit Golf and Country Club. The proposed plan of subdivision conforms with provisions of the Official Plan of Vaughan Township, which is still in force in this amal- gamated area. however the land is zoned agricul~ tural' and a zoning bylaw amendment will be required. It is proposed to serve the lots with indi- vidual private wells, and individual septic tank installations. Hydro, telephone and natural gas are available and the estimated 46 elementary and 11 secondary school pupils can be accommodated in existing schools. it was reported. A park of some 2.2 acres has been shown on the draft plan. Because this is not equal to 5% of the land and is not suitable for the town’s park An estate type development on 132.7 acres located on the west side of Yonge Street in North Richmond Hill is being proposed by San Jaucinto Developments Limited of Toronto, Richmond Hill Planning Committee learned December 20.

Christmas Week Car=Truck Crash Kills Hill Couple, Injures Son Mr. Rimon also noted that the proposed plan is of a scale and at a location acceptable by land- use policies established in the Toronto-Centered Region Plan. The land is not suitable for agri- cultural use, yet has the necessary physical attributes which are compatible with the pro- posed development. The usual lot contribution fee of $655 will be a part of the subdivision agreement, and planting of three trees on each lot will be required. “In other words,” interjected Chairman Councillor Lois Hancey. “it conforms to our general idea of lowering the density of population as we go out from the core.” The planning committee decided to recom- mend to council that the development be approved, with the suggestion that the road pattern be altered so that Maple Avenue may be used as the access route from Yonge Street, rather than establishing another entrance onto Highway 11 only 1,300 feet to the south.
