Mbsml {Favors Reasonable But Strong Growth The development of a re- gional official plan is high on the list of priorities. It should be evolved in CO-OD- eration and consultation with the local municipalities Mr. Plaxton is opposed to rapid high density develop- ment whether it be high rise or multiple dwellings and with the BAIF develop- ment of such recent origin it might appear that a reasâ€" sessment of the town’s future is desirable. To Mr. Pl'axton this is not acceptable or desirable. A reasonable but strong growth would allow the assimulation of incoming residents into the community, he believes and would preserve those benefits which the town now has. The I servicing problems facing the town at present are critical, he notes. The York Region's participation in the servicing scheme reâ€" cently proposed by the pro- vincial government raises many additional problems. As it stands now the finan- cial burden on our residents for our participation seems extremely high. Mr. Plaxton said. It wou l lead‘to rapid development of thif. area which could submerge our identity in a massive resi- dential buildup. In announcing his decision to run for re-election as re- gional councillor for Rich- mond Hill Donald Plaxton told “The Liberal“ that there are a number of critical de- cisions which could signifi- cantly affect the future of Richmond Hill. : Arsonists Strike Again The acting chief said also the Ontario Fire Marshal‘s Department is again in- vestigating the blaze. Kennedy said that two of his men. regular Fire- men Don Gillis. and Volun- teer Fireman William Smith, suffered severe cuts to their fingers from the broken glass. Both required stitches and Smith will be off for about a week, he said. Acting Fire Chief Robert Kennedy said the fire was started in the same way a blaze destroyed the physics lab November 11. A window in the lab was broken and then the drapes were set on fire. For the second time within a week suspected arsonists have burned out a classroom at Richmond Hill High School. The latest fire occurred Saturday night in the biology lab when $6.500 damage was done before members of the Richmond Hill Fire Department got it under control. 1 vote for mayor 1 vote for ward councillor.

The mayor and separate school trustees have been elected by acclamation. ‘i This candidate believes that the next two years are i critical and with the pressure for development costly mis- takes can be made. The need :for a careful and reasoned ‘ approach to this problem was never more necessary, he concluded. '1 Mr. Plaxton's view is that {Richmond Hill has been ac- ltively and vigorously repre- ‘sented at the Region since its inception. Well Number 6. which will. it is believed, lrelieve past summer water lshortages. is one of the is- isues on which the Region 1 has taken action. Support for -the mentally retarded, Blue ‘Hills Academy and day care ‘centres are all matters on which this municipality has given leadership at the Re- gion. It is always difficult to assess political records, he points o_ut, but it should be emphasized that Richmond Hill's representatives have been active in all regional ‘ matters. Any assessment of regional government at this time is certainly relevant. In Mr. ;Plaxton‘s view, it is provid- ing a greater degree of serv- ‘ ice and is certainly more ef- fective in putting the views‘ of the region to the provinâ€"f cial government. i 0 J Growth ,and citizens' groups, Mr. Plaxton believes. This is, of course, well under way at the present time. he pointed out. The need for economy in local government has always been a matter of concern to Mr. Plaxton. The tendency to think that problems are solved with money is mis- leading, he maintains. Peo- ple create problems and peo- ple solve problems. Certainly expenditures in the social services and engineering de- partments should keep pace with the demands of resi- dents. but it would be un- reasonable to burden the York Region for social prob- lems affecting people outâ€" side our boundaries or buildâ€" ing roads for the conveni- ence of Metro residents. “Since August nothing has happened." claimed the solic- ‘itor. “The truck traffic on the 3rd Line has not abated. ‘vThere has been no indica- ltion that Miller Paving vol- untarily will do anything to mitigate the problem facing my clients. They have acted callousll/ in complete dis- regard of my clients' con- cern. “Because of the onset of winter, the road has been damaged by this heavy trafâ€" fic. making travelling diffi- cult, inconvenient and even hazardous for my clients. ‘ “The area of concern has greatly increased since Au- gust. Many people. some im- mediately affected, and others have expressed shar- ed concern that the character of the rural part of town is being changed by the sur- reptitious, clandestine and ‘illegal infiltration of certain operations." Mr. Lamek also reported ‘meeting with the town's Soâ€" KING TOWNSHIP and citizens' groups, Mr. Plaxton believes. This is, of course. well under way at the present time, he pointed out. Mr. Lamek reminded coun- cil that he had appeared be- fore council in August rep- resenting a group of resi- dents on Concession 3 be- tWeen the CFRB Sideroad and the Stouffville Road, who were deeply concerned about the heavy truck traffic past their residences. Their Town To Take legal Action Against Asphalt Plant In Pit Richmond Hill Town Council agreed Monday evening to take action against Miller Paving Company which is operating an asphalt manu- facturing plant in its gravel pit on the Blooming- ton Sideroad in what was formerly Whitchurch Township. Council’s decision came as the result of a presentation by residents of the Gormley area through their solicitor, P. S. A. Lamek of the legal firm of Fraser & Beatty, 145 King Street West, Toronto. HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 Richmond Hill's Bylaw 3072, passed by council Sep- tember 30, 1972. which is awaiting OMB approval, does designate this land as a pits and quarries zone and no- where suggests any manufac- turing use, Mr. Lemak stat- ed. “It is clear the relevant bylaws do not permit use of lands for an industrial manufacturing use such as ‘ exists there." He also maintained that it was not a legal non- conforming use since it was not in existence be- fore the passing of the Whitchurch bylaw in 1970. “Members of this group are ready, willing and able and even eager to testify that this operation did not begin until 1971.” “Speaking plainly," Mr. Lemak summed up, “my cli- ents and many people who share their concern are very alarmed, are deeply concern- ed because the unique char- acteristics of their area are threatened by the back door introduction of this industry â€"and they want something done about it tonight. My clients are prepared to take Mr. Lamck also reported ‘meeting with the town’s Soâ€" ‘licitor Tom Fraser and re- ; ported that they were unable to reach a consensus on ‘whether the pertinent bY- laws were being violated. “I contend that although Whit- c‘hurch Bylaw 2083 (which is in effect until December 31, ‘ 1972l did not expressly cre- ‘atc a pit and quarry zone. it did indirectly and spelled out what could be carried out ‘in pits and quarries. Mr. ‘Fraser contended that the pits and quarries were exâ€" cluded from the bylaw, that {there is no effective zoning and they can be put to any ‘ . . . [use Without restriction. He said there were two questions to be answered: 1. Is an asphalt manufac- turing plant a permitted use on Miller land? “Mr. Fraser and I were not able to agree on this and I cannot accept his View." 2.15 it a legal non-con- forming use? The ratepayers’ solicitor quoted section 3 of the Whitchurch bylaw which stated it would apply to all lands in that township with certain lands excluded by a heavy black line. The Miller property was not so enclosed, except for the westerly part which falls within the Lake Wilcox Plan, he said. Section 4 stated that no building shall be erected except in conformity with the bylaw. Mr. Lemak claimed that the bylaw was intended for the whole of the township and did not leave unzoned areas. “If excluded, then the own- ers of those lands could build anything they choseâ€" high density, high-rise. heavy industry. I find it hard to believe that such is intended or that a court would so interpret such a bylaw." "The area of concern has greatly increased since Au- gust.

Mr. Le- .mak replied, “There is no reason the town could not take it to the Supreme Court. but I don't think my clients should have to pay ‘the heavy expense of such i a move." “I'm of the opinion it was the intention of Whitchurch Council to prohibit this kind of activity in that particular area." said Councillor David Schiller. “I believe we should grab at any straw, be it legal or not, available to stop Miller Paving from continuing this operation 0 The_ Oak Ridges-Lake Wilcox area also needs better roads and a solution to the delicate “91,119.37?.m9flfiewage, disposal- O The next two years must see an end to provincial procrastination on Richmond Hill’s most critical problem which is provision of water and sewer services connected to Lake Ontario; 0 Good maintenance must be provided in the old central area of the town; roads and an arena by 1974. plus sewage disposal from excess capacity likely to be found at the Langstaff plant: Mr. Plaxton then pointed out that this could mean a delay of a year in hearing the case at that level. “What my clients are interested in is an indication this matter is treated with concern by the town taking measures toward a definitive solution.
