Fourteen projects were in areas where the zoning bylaw per-t knitted development and only one applicant (Black Hawke Motor Hotel) refused to enter into a site plan agreement. Thirteen were for commercial development. three were insti- tutional tincluding a new Legion Hall, addition to York Central ,Hospital and the court house) and four were for apartment buildings.

There are no provincial subsidies in these areas. Revised estimates would reduce administration costs included in the first draft of 1972 estimates. Plans to hire a personnel co- ordinator at an estimated annual salary of $7.200 would be shelved. The revised estimates also cut back on $19,140 earmarked for hiring of a purchasing agent and stem- grapher for the clerk's depart- ment and $8,740 for additional staff for the legal department. Further possible revisions in- cluded a cut back of $8,670 in esti- mates for renovations to the re- gional administration building in Newmarket and postponement of demolition of the old York Manor building at an estimated cost of $23,300. When the 90-year-old building was inspected recently it was estimated it would cost about 547.000 to make the building safe for use. Recommends More Planning Mayor Roman was unhappy about some of the cuts, particular- ly in the engineering department. Since provincial subsidies were conditional on regional spending. he said. "If we do not use all the money in the provincial subsidy. i 22 LEYENDALE RD. _ SOUTH BLOCK RICHMOND HEIGHTS CENTRE _ TELEPHONE 851-6691 I * * i ' OPEN 51x DAYS A WEEK * ‘ T ' L‘!“““““!““Q!!!!!!

The ac- tual revenue was $3,129 higher than in 1970. Other income re‘c- eived by the municipality due to the planning process. Although the planning de- partment's budget was increas- ed last year to $33,152 from $21,958 in 1970. the cost per capital was reduced from $1.12 in 1970 to 97¢ In 1971. Richmond Hill‘s populationi increased from 19.600 to 34,000 \yvith the widening of its bound- aries under regional govern- ment and its area increased from 1,700 acres to 245% acres. These increases created a sub- stantial increase in the respon- sibilities and workload of the planning department. STAFF In 1971 the planning staff was BE SURE TO SEE OUR SELECTION!

It was rediculous for the provâ€" ince to demand roads needs and budget estimates at this point, said Illingworth. In Aurora the home owner had to pick up $250,000 in added taxes because of the re- duction in industrial assessments. [f the towns of Aurora. Newmarket. Richmond Hill are going to have to pick up another $1 million be- cause of changes in farm assess- ments the province should do something about it. Illingworth said. “How many people can afford to pay $100 more in taxes?" Speaking in support of a meetâ€" ing with the Minister before'ap- proving revised estimates, Mayor Roman urged, “Let's not panic. We have a responsibility to provide a reasonable level of service. I know it. is an election year and people get nervous, but we do have to provide services.” ".5 “WVemhave to pass a bylaw on roads." said Chairman Wright. “Whp says so?” asked Mayor Forhan. “The province," the chairman Mayor Forhan agreed. “The meeting Wednesday (with Mc- Keough) should include the nine mayors. They are the ones that get the stuff thrown at them." At this point Chairman Wright increased from 11% f0 2 3/4 per- sons by hiring a planning direcâ€" tor in April. The planning ad- ministrator was appointed sec- retary - treasurer of the com- mittee of adjustment. replacing Miss Merrylynn Henry. who be- came secretary to the planning director. ..-4- u“ ~yu.-. It is proposed that the staff be increased by one profesâ€" sional planner and share with the works department a plan- ning draftsman. It is also proâ€" posed that a summer student he hired for a period of four months to assist in the field work necessary for the prepara- tion of a new Official Plan. This composite Official Plan will receive high priority durâ€" ing 1972, according to the proâ€" posed work program of the de- partment. It will include a landâ€" use plan, policies on transport- ation, rural residential. highway commercial, agricultural land- MADE ON THE PREMISES backtracked. The. meeting Wedâ€" nesday. he said. had been set up as a result of a letter from the region concerning the impact of the proposed regional airport. “This meeting." said Wright. "is not going to solve our financial problems," Councillor Plaxton protested. "We do not expect one meeting with the minister to solve any- thingf' In the fhst two years of regional governrnent. he said, the cost of pohce service has escalab ed the police budget in Richmond Him by 20 percent and itis not geuing as good services as it had under its own municipal force. Now. he said, the province has assumed responsibility for assess- ment and it expects the region to set a $24 nulnon budget without even knowing what assessment it is working with or how it is to be shared. “I expect that some rural muni- cipalities will experience tax re- ductions at the expense of the urban areas." said Plaxton. There are three hands in the pocket of the regional property owner. he said â€" the board of education, the region and the local municipality. Chairman Wright. a former reeve of the old Township of East, Gwillimbury and former County Warden. protested, "It is most un- fair to try to convince people these things came to haunt us because the county is changed to a region. This has come about because of use. housing. parks and recrea- tion policies and municipal ser- vices.

Everyone in the region wants the same quality of service, no matter where they live, said Wright. and this is the reason for the added cost of regional. muni- cipal and educational services. Rural municipalities will also be adversly affected by the new formula for assessing farms. said East Gwillimbury Mayor Gladys Rolling. When the region was formed, she reminded council. East Gwillimbury lost a large chunk of urban development to the Town of Newmarket. Now with the reâ€" duced assessment on farms, “We have a great deal less assessment to base our tax on." Mayor Illingworth was reminded of his earlier motion to table the budget estimates and adjourn the meeting. A protest that the moâ€" tion had not been seconded brought a reminder from Georgina Councillor Robert Pollock that council was in committee. "We don't need a seconder." At the same time several members of council offered to second the mo- tion. The only dissenting votes were from Mayor Rolling and WhitchurchStouffville Mayor Ken- neth Laushway who was vacation- ing in Florida the previous week when the first draft estimates were discussed. Council meets again loday (Thursday), hopefully to approve a budget. 100 Yards North of Hwy. 7 Turn north at Unionville Nurseries. 7th CONCESSION LINE 568=Year90|d Woman Missing From Home Anyone having any informa- tion on Mrs. Brooks is asked to contact Inspector of Detec- 1tives Wally Harkness at 895- ‘ 1221.
