Procedural Hassle On Unassumed Road Policy and procedure were brought to the fore at the May 28 meeting of Richmond Hill Town Council as “unassumed” r o a d s were considered. 'Both played a part in a vote on 'a recommendation of council‘s works committee that the town assume the road known as the unopened road allowance north of Vaughan Road between Yonge Street and Arnold. MAYOR. DOES NOT VOTE On the question with a recorded vote the vote stood 4â€"4: Against -â€" Councillors Andy Chatea‘uvefrt, Charles Stewart and Lou Wainwright and Regional Councillor Lois Hance'y; For -â€" Councillors Graeme Bales, David Ste- phenson, William Corcoran and Regional Councillor Gor- don Rowe. Mayor William Lazenfby declined to vote and declared the motion de- feated since it had failed to carry. Mrs. Hancey chal- lenged his right to withhold his vote. claiming that -he must vote on a recorded vote. The mayor claimed that the Municipal Act stat- ed a mayor M-AY vote on any question. Town Solicitor Tom Fraser was in the municipal build- ing and came to the council chamber to give his opinion. He agreed with the mayor about the wording of the section quoted, but quoted another section which states that each member present (at a recorded vote) shall announce his vote.. Council's policy was then stated by Councillor Cha- teauvert as 'being, “If I do not vote, my vote is consid- ered to be in the affirma- tive." The‘ mayor declared that under this policy the motion had carried. A pre- vious motion by Hancey- Chateauvert that the motion be rejected as premature was defeated. SECOND PART Council then went on to consider the second part of the committee’s recommen- dation, which, with an amendment proposed by Councillor Wainwright, read, “That all roads which we are legally empowered to assume be assumed as sug- gested by the report from McCormick Rankin & Associ- ates Ltd. (Roads Needs Study Consultants) afiter investiga- tion and recommendation, with a list of roads to be assumed, and that all as- sumptions be deferred until all pertinent information has been presented to council”. Back in 1960, in order to create four building lots on his property, Owner Ned Hill had deeded to the town a 66-foot road allowance, prior to that date the road had been a private lane, and it has 'been maintained as a private road for 21 years. Solicitor David Fraser, ap- pearing for three labuttin-g owners told council. This preceded Bylaw 1000 which requires that all lots must front on an assumed road, he said. He also noted that the basic reason for Mr. Hill"s present application to 'have the road assumed is so he can sever another lot. “My clients are opposed to that severance and to the assump- STUDIO‘A' hf ALLENCOURT PLAZA 455 MARKHAM RD.

The town‘s snow- plows had been used twice in 13 years. tion of the road." It was later revealed that Mr. Hill was supported by the one remaining owner. PRIVATE ROAD In 1960, Mr. Fraser said, the minutes of the planning board stated that the road would retain its private char- acter until the town decided otherwise and recommended that the right-of-way be re- tained as a private roadway. He asked that it be left to be dealt with with the other unassumed roads. 'He also felt that consider- ation of the assumption of the road should be postponed until after completion of a study of that area by the planning director is com- pleted. Councillor Wain w r i g h t wanted to know how sever- ances were issued without assumption of the road. “It was the first year of the committee of adjustment." recalled Mayor Lazenby. “I was a member of it and no guidelines had been laid down. We had rbeen in exist- ence only about three or four months." NOW ON LIST CouncillorStephenson pointed out that assumption of the road did not necessar- ily mean .bringing it up to standard immediately. Works Commissioner Bernard Top- oroski stated the road is low on the list of priorities and “I can’t see it being upgrad- ed for 10 years at least.” HMrs. Ha'ncey pointed out that improvements wo u 1d probably .be carried out only on petition of the majority of the property owners. Councillor Wainwright agreed, “It must be initiated by the people." Councillor Bales told coun- cil that the laneway into St. Mary’s Anglican Church is only 178 feet away from the busy Yonge-Vaughan corner and that six feet of the lane belongs to the property own- ers on Yonge Street. "'I hope that in future the church people would have a right- of-way over this road.” Councillor Stewart said he would like to see what the cost of the town would be before assuming the road. In rebuttal John Graham, one of the dbjecting owners, stated that the church had not asked for a right-of-way, that in the past Mr. Hill had opposed such a sugges- tion and the other owners still oppose such an access. “Such a suggestion should be initiated by the church people." Mr. Hill declined an op- portunity to speak. “I would rather not take up any more of .your valuable time," he said. SHOW AND DANCE nus FRIDAY - n. H.
