At the planning committee meeting September 26, a representative of Daybreak reported that the new buil- ding would permit moving several residents from the main building. thus. making available needed room for expansion of the administra- tion area. The new building does not require town ser- vices of water and sewerage. it was explained. and will be set back from Yonge Street a considerable dis- Ading Mayor Stewart Votes T To Waive Daybreak Agreement 1131;}; tance. Since it must be bl to specifications‘of the I nistry of Health. Se'sign a construction will be contr led. it was slated. HEATED ARGUMENT This council action fol- lowed a lengthy and heated discussion on a motion by Councillor Stephenson to have referred back to plan- ning committee a resolution he had moved September 26 to recommend to council that the planning director, at his discretion. be autho- rized to dispense with a site plan agreement where a use is permitted by the existing zoning bylaws. His reasoning was that this would expedite the processing of applica- tions for building permits for buildings that conform to the zoning bylaws. THREE YEARS For the past three years it has been town policy to seek a site plan agreement for all industrial. commer- cial and multiple residential nnummmmmnnmmm“mummluum\mnmmmmmur seek a site plan agreement for all industrial, commer- cial and multiple residential Iapartmentsl buildings. The agreement, prepared by all town department: involved. sets forth the works for which the developer is fi- nancially responsible â€" such as paved parking lots. storm sewers. curbs. sideâ€" walks. landscaping â€" and requires a letter of credit to Acting-Mayor Charles Stewart had to cast the deciding favorable \‘ote Monday evening on a mo- tion to waive a site plan agreement for a planned residence at Daybreak, a home for retarded adults located on North Yonge Street. The motion to waive the site plan agreement was made by Planning Committee David Stephenson and was seconded by Ward 5 Councillor William Corcoran. Mr. Stephenson said council’s favor- able consideration would speed construction. Right now, however, his immediate plans call for studying park development for the area, a natural concomitant since he spent 19 years in parks and recreation in Windsor. He’s also, as he says, “getting my bear- ings”. There are several priorities, but right now it’s just a matter of keeping up to the new parklands in the new subdivisions. Mr. C0stea started with the Windsor parks department as a junior clerk and while there took extension courses at Guelph and Windsor Uni- versities. resulting in diplomas in horticulture and public administration. The new Markham director is married with four children. A new stadium-like facility, which would attract football, track, concerts and other activ- ities, is the kind of thing Dan Costea, Markham’s new director of parks and recreation, would like to see eventually come about in the town. Mr. Costea, 37, was appointed to the $18,000-a-year job last August from a list of 22 applicants,_ The potential stadium is his own idea â€" a long range one at that â€"' but it is the kind of thing he has been able to visualize since coming to the rambling Markham area from his home town of Windsor. He said the job in Windsor “sort of fell into line” with his high school interests, which included athletics, choir and drama. Both men were alone in their vehicles at the time, a car and a truck. respec- tively, when they collided on the four-lane highway. Mr. Fisher is survived by his Wife. Constance Enâ€" right; two children, Gayle and Patricia: his parents, Mrs. Vada Berkland and Cecil Fisher: and his bro- thers and sisters. Two men were killed early Sunday morning in a head-on collision on Keele Street. just north of lla- jor Mackenzie Drive in Vaughan. Dead are Wilfred Fisher 38. of Malaren Road. Maple and Alfonso Frattaroli. 32 of Rosemont, Ontario. Funeral service was held at Maple United Church, Tuesday, with interment in Maple Cemetery. No other details of the accident were available.

In the three year interval only one appli- cant for a building permit, where the proposed building agreed to the zoning, has re- fused to enter into a site plan agreement, it was re- ported. And in this case the resulting building was quite a disappointment. Regional Councillor Lois Hancey. who was chairman of the planning committee when the policy to seek a s-ite plan agreement was adopted, asked council to defeat the motion rather than sending it back to com- mittee. She described it as a very backward step and said, "It is abdicating authority given to this coun- cil. The policy was adopted by the 1971-72 council bylaw and it has brought about considerable improve- ment in the town's environ- ment." S‘hc cited Allencourt and Oxford Square plazas and apartment buildings throughout the town where improvements had been achieved through site plan agreements. “We had been years trying to correct these problems. A great deal of thought and money has gone into the byâ€" law. We were not elected by the construction industry but were elected by t'hec people of this municipality and must act in their best interests. This attempt to sidestep our policy is ab- horrent to me. Every prog- ressive municipality in On- tario has similar legislation. Through site plan agree- ments we can ensure proper maintenance, improve parâ€" king lots and landscaping and this is the only piece of legislation by which we cant have control.

This. I think you’ll agree, is a far less desirable place for a ‘ disposal site.” A total of 135 Lip-tight Maple ratepayers plus four“ or five dead rats turned up at Vaughan Town Council‘s Committee meeting Monday. night to continue the gar- bage controversy in the mu-; nicipality. In a word: The ratepayers were there to inveigh against garbage dumps in general and in particular the continuing op-- eration and possible exten- sion of the Norman Good- head-operatcd site (Disposal Services} north of Maple. The rats were produced to buoy the Maple Against Dumps (M.A.D.l Commit- tee's contention that the pre- sent dump was anything but desirable and would even be less so if allowed to con- tinue to expand as projected by Disposal Services. “Here is an example of our legacy as caught on the Norm Matthew's property on the east side of Kecle Street opposite the dump." Mr. King said the Mat- thew‘s well was also contami- nated by wastes from the dump "to the point where it is unsafe for use. I am suggesting to you that to en- tertain an application to per- mit more rodent breeding areas is to act against pro- moting a healthy communi- ty."

He was also referring to Cameron's second motion which would have seen comâ€" mittee recommending to council that it carry out an injunction to st0p Disposal from dumping on its present site immediately.

Mr. Matthmvs described how his farm had been over- run by rats who regularly killed his chickens and gnawed their way through the pens. He accused Disposal of violating the following laws regarding dumpin‘g at the Maple site: 0 Operated without a pro- vincial license for the greater part of the past 18 months with Vaughan council appar- ently powerless to do any- thing about it. mmnmuunummmmnmuunuuuuuuu\mumnummuu Wants No Part Of Dump! o Failing to maintain rod- ent control, agreement He said there was evi- denct- available of serious water pollution caused by the dumps. He warned that council should not get involved in any long-term dumping proposition without first getting evidence as to how the environment would be affected. ‘ Mr. Norcliffe said it was not up to Vaughan “to bail Metro out of its garbage problem.” Glen Norcliffe called for total rejection of any dump in the Vaughan area point- ing to increased pollution, loss of vital farmland by piece-meal rezoning, etc. He said Disposal would “Have us believe their new dump proposals would be the cleanest dumps in the world. Why, if you believe Mr. Chusid, you could put cream on them and eat the stuff. This is a very devi- ous argument." The creation of a vast dumping area would simp-_ 13' compound the present problems of fires, smells, rats. and the incidence of contaminated waterways and wells.
