The two 16-year-olds had quit school. left home and were sleeping Wherever they could. Most of the others had histories of leaving school and home.

OAK RIDGES MORAINE A screen presentation showed the Oak Ridges Moraine to be a dominant feature of York‘s top- ography as well as the old shore ,line of Lake Algonquin and major swamp areas in Georgina. The forest cover and soil capa- bility for agriculture were also shown. Mr. Pound commented that “Most urban development has occurred on the best agri- cultural land."

' Noting that there is very little serviced land available for development in York, Mr. Pound stated that there is much pressure for residential devel- opment in rural areas.

Rather let's introduce flexibility into develop- ment plans”, said York Region Planner Murray Pound at the conclusion of his presentation to Richmond Hill Council October 16 of an interim policy on rural residential development in the region. Mr. Pound explained that it was the region’s intent to lay down guidelines which could be implemented by the mun- icipalities when dealing with developers. He said the policy follows the region's submission on the Toronto-Centred Plan. Prepares Rural Residential Policy He said there had been some thought of link- ing the name with the Dunlap Observatory. which is opposite the development, but it was felt this might conflict with The Conservatory Mall in Toronto. Mr. Witkin said the developers would con- sider any recommendations made to them regard- ing the plaza name, if the recommendations were from the municipality -â€" Richmond Hill and Vaughan -- as a whole. At a recent meeting of Vaughan Town Council, council voted to ask the BAIF developers to name the new plaza, “Carrville”. in order t6 retain the name of the original community. Completion date for the mall, which was first negotiated with the former Township of Vaughan seven years ago. will be the spring of 1974. He said the name Hillcrest was among some “10 to 15” names considered by the developers, who also solicited names from Richmond Hill Council tlons.” but didn't receive any “concrete sugges- HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 development were allowed the rate of discharge of storm water would be accelerated at a very rapid rate and if the recharge area is reduced because of pav- ing or badly eroded soil the stream could be affected to the point where the capacity of the sewage treatment plant would be limited at certain seasons. He also noted that if the Pet- ferlaw swamp area were drain- ed. it would dry up numerous streams in the area. "When you have developments proposed for such sensitive areas. you must understand the restraints and keep them in mind when dealing with developers." SCENIC AREAS His department is also ident- ifying scenic areas in the reg- ion, particularly along the height of land which marks the shore of the former Lake Al- gonquin, a minor escarpment which rises to about 100 feet in height and provides a number of attractive vistas. He hopes to make people aware of these beauty spots and develop a sys- tem of road access by careful sign posting and parking aCl‘ES. “Under ideal conditions it would be wise to try to main- tain the moraine land 'as it is." Mr. Pound stated-but he also recognized the fact that there is already a very substantial amount of development there and a great deal of investment in development potential. He has attempted to establish de- sign restraints under which de- velopment can be controlled with the environment problem of the moraine getting priority and development coming sec- ond. * By MARY DAWSON York Planner Murray Pound MURRAY POUND Plans Rural Future Day Of Decision IKnow Polling Division Number “To Faciliate Voting On Monday tred Plan Mr. Pound described his inâ€" terim policy on rural residential development as “an awareness plan.
