Regional Councillor Adams says a meeting on the Park- way Belt plan is being ar- ranng with York Region, Vaughan and Richmond Hill Towns. Adams sees some big problems for Thornhill in the original Parkway Belt design. Markham Council also opposes inclusion in the Parkway Belt of the Nan- tieoke to Pickering multi- line Southern Ontario hydro power corridor, but is treat- ing that question as a se- parate matter. The Parkway Belt is a band or corridor of land being established from Ha- milton to Oshawa. The land is being frozen for open space. transportation and utilities uses and is to serve to delineate or separate communities. The section through this area has alâ€" ready been established across Vaughan. Richmond Hill and Markham. As desxgned, it separates the new Regional Town of Richmond Hill from the Thornhill area in the new Regional Towns of Markham and Vaughan. Major changes are to be sought in the prov- ince’s Parkway Belt design through the Thorn- hill area of Markham Town. At the same time the. town council and planning staff are generally in favor of the Parkway Belt concept, says Markham Regional Councillor Robert Adams of Thornhill, chairman of the Markham Town Planning Committee. 20 Markham Planning Chair- man Adams notes the Park- way Belt sterilizes from de- velopment a large area of the town, but says in spite of that the town is all for the belt. However, tqwn planning staff and concillors doubt the logic of the belt lacation chosen in some pla- eves. WOULD ADD AREAS Markham wants to add to the belt certain lands like the Toronto Ladies Golf Club. Adams also advocates inclusion in the open space belt of Toronto City's Langs~ taff Jail Farm property which lies in Richmond Hill. 'I‘IIORNIHLL PROBLEMS Adams says it is doubtful whether it is wise. in all the circumstances. for the Park- way Belt to follow the al- ready developed south side of Highway 7 between Yonge Street and Bayview Avenue. Admitting this land is one of Markham‘s knotâ€" tiest planning problems and one which the town would be glad to get rid of. lhe says it seems doubtful the province will be willing to provide the money to clear away the jumble of develop- ment there and tum it into open space. IDEAL OPEN SPACE “We don't mind the south side being included. but feel the Parkway Belt should also include the north side. Toronto paid only a nominal sum for the Langstaff Ja-il Farm property a number of years ago. This 600 acres of undeveloped land is ideal for preservation as open space. park and recreation land," says Adams.

But he feels Markham may have difficulty getting further in- dustrial land zoned under the new York Region Of- ficial Plan. There is only so much industrial acreage to ‘be allowed in the region to serve the future available working population. while Vaughan Town already has massive areas zoned for in- dustry.

The first ‘three quadrants of T'hornhill are now large- ly developed, but the final quadrant of about 1,000 acres has been taken away for the belt. Adams says some portion of this 1,000 acres may be necessary for the Parkway Belt, but not all. SPENDING MILLIONS “We are devnloping a community costing many millions." says Adams, "and ultimately they lthe acres in the last quadrant) are the Thornhill community." Adams worries the Park- way Belt as now designed will prevent the rounding out the Thornhill com-muni- ty while tending to lhelp bring about the creation of an isolated 1.000-acre resi- dential area on what is re- ferred to as the Massey-Fer- guson farm, a large undeve- loped acreage east of Thorn- hill. This acreage is bounded by Steeles Avenue, Wood- bine Avenue [Don Mills Road), 14th Avenue tJohn Street), and Concession 5. “We don‘t' want amother isolated community (on the Massey-Ferguson f a 1‘ ml," says Councillor Adams. ad- ding that he is afraid it is coming. At the same time, and this is also of great concern to Markham Town. the Park- way Belt (as now laid down) freezes about 1.000 acres of Markham's present industâ€" rial land which was planned to be the northern extension of the Don Mills industrial area. This land lies imme- diately to the east of Thorn- hill’s fourth residential quandrant (also frozenl. Markham feels other land would be more appropriate for the Parkway Belt.

The glasses used were purple and yel- low, and the knife used to cut the cake was decorated with purple and yellow flowâ€" ers. The bride‘s mother was dressed in a floor length sleeveless dress in green print crepe and a corsage of white daisies and the groom's mother wore a floor length dress of green and yellow flowered Chiffon and a corsage of white daisies. Following honeymoon moved into Claremont. BRIEF TO PROVINCE- The town planning staff has prepared 'a Parkway delt report, complete with maps, in draft term. This has been studied and ap- proved by council for sub- ,qission to. the provincial go- vernment. The province pro- mised to hold public hea- rings on the Parkway Belt design when the belt was laid out and the land frozen. The planning staff report proposes alteration of the rarkway Belt design to al- low the Thornhill communi- ty northeast quandrant and the Don Mills industrial area to d'cveIOp largely as planned. The report would put this matter to the pro- vince in part as follows: “When one examines the resource effect that goes into making local govern- ment policies, plans and de- cisions, it becomes apparent that they cannot be wiped out and still protect the conâ€" tinuity of good planning. TOWN TAX BASE “Trying to maintain an adequate industrial base for a community isn’t an easy task. Many months or years are necessary for planning alone, by municipal 'and private agencies. Implemen- tation, which requires the installation of roads, sewer and water facilities, electri- cal and telephone services. etc.. is both costly and time consuming. Extending servi- ces from these areas or up- grading inadequate services must also be planned and programmed. “The financial implica- tions to a municipality ‘ which is faced with uncer- tainty due to a lack of seâ€" nior government programs, or finds its next area for in- dustrial growth wiped out. can be staggering. Markham finds itself in this position again as a result of the Parkway Belt. “This proposal, we resâ€" pectfully submit. doesn’t Jeopardize the intent of the Parkway Belt W1an one con- siders the configuration of this belt to the west of Bay- view Avenue. The (Langstaff Jail Farm) lands owned by Toronto City are already in public ownership and con- tiguous with (proposed) Highway 407 on the north, which is the spine to the Parkway Belt concept. These lands can be utilized to act as an urban separator bet- ween a portion of the Thornâ€" hill Community and 4a por- tion of the Richmond Hill Community. They are readi- ly accessible via Highway 407. Yonge Street and Bay- view Avenue and should, in part or in total, satisfy the needs anticipated for the Parkway Belt. “Assessment records show the town is collecting aproâ€" ximately $2.800 per net in- dustrial acre on lands south of the CNR line, east of (proposed) Highway 404. Ap- plying ‘this figure to future revenues. it becomes appa- rent the town stands to lose considerably if the North Don Mills industrial area cannot be developed." says the draft report. NEWMARKET â€" The town's new anti-noise bylaw carries a maximum fine of $1,000. The bylaw says no person shall ring bells, blow horns, shout or make or permit un- usual noises or noises likely to disturb the inhabitants.

She point- ed out that neither the Lake Wilcox nor the Vaughan ad- visory boards have authority to implement their recom- mendations. and asked if the old Town of Richmond Hill had the same sense of neigh- borhood that seemed appar- ent in the northerly area and the Vaughan communities. Mrs. Graham suggested that high school students be enlisted to help in a survey such as that done by univer- sity students in Lake Wilcox, Developers have hours and days to study plans before they come to municipal or regional councils. Citizens do not. The Maple study group, she said. feels that all and any development should be in language the ordinary per- son ean understand. adding that neighborhoods also have a responsibility to make their views known to the developers and planners. The report read by Mrs. Graham had been prepared by Dr. G. B. Norcliffe of the Maple Citizens’ Commit- tee. Asked if the Lake Wilcox Citizens” group is representa- tive of the community, Evans assured this meeting that it is. The committee was set up October 2 to work with the professional firm of M. D. Dillon Company Limited. The nine members of Richmond Hill Council and nine local residents form a committee to which the professionals report.

Anyone can make representation to mem- bers of the committee. All aspects of the commun- ity, ecological, physical and sociological, will be reviewed and all suggestionsfrom the public thought out before a working plan is presented to the local and regional coun- cils. NEED MORE WOMEN Evans expressed regret that there are not more women on the committee. Of three nom- inated to represent the area, only one accepted, Regional Controller Hancey. as a mem- ber of council, is also a mem- ber of the Lake Wilcox study committee. Before the meeting broke} up for coffee, Chairman Ver- meulen reminded the audi- ence that experience in Tor-t onto has shown that local- participation in important planning has been effective” and that citizen pressure canreform a council. He suggest- ed that if the people of,Yorkl are not getting the kind of planning they want. they too, might make changes in coun- cil. York Regional Police have arrested a Lake Wilcox res- ident after a man was caught trying to break into a store at Don Mills Road and High- way 7 last week. Police Apprehend 25-Year-Old Man In Break-In Attempt Police Constable Roger Wagner reported that he spotted a man attempting to pry open the rear door of Sportswear Shop about 3:30 am, October 16, and appre- hended him. The constable had been dispatched to the scene when an alarm was turned in. Arrested was Stephen By- ers. 25. of South Road. Answering a domestic com- plaint at a Richmond Hill home resulted in a police- man being assaulted Satur- day night. PROFESSIONAL STUDY Attacked when he called around at the home of Clar- ence Taggart, 44, or 31 Rockport Crescent, to invest- igate, was Police Constable Raymond Bunce.

Children at the Top 0' The Hill Nursery School, 104 Yonge Street South, are go- ing to feel short changed when they take off on the school's wooden slide. Somebody cut two feet off the end last week. Damage amounted to 885. Two Richmond Hill resi- dents reported large thefts from their homes last week. Kenneth Thomson, 282 Richmond Street, lost $295 in cash to thieves. while Johanna Cech, 101 Yonge Street North, lost a 8387 color TV set. The week was also tough on hockey players. Charles Gallagher. of To- ronto, had his hockey bag and equipment stolen from outside a dressing room at Doublerink Arenas in Vaughan, while Richard Lusk, of Lake Wilcox, lost his to thieves at the Bond Lake Arena. As the meeting was about to go into small group dis- cussion she urged. “Please do not throw out the baby with the bath water. Look I beyond your own house. Look at what is positive as well as what is negative." WARDS T00 LARGE Each of the five groups had a leader and a recorder who reported back to the meeting, All agreed that some sort of advisory board its recommendations go to the region. which is the offi- cial planning body for York: A member of the special committee which had planned the meeting, Mrs. Pat Bed- ford, said that the social planning council and commit- tee feel that at present its actions must be limited to making recommendations to elected representatives. is needed if Richmond Hill is to avoid making some of the mistakes in planning that now torment many neighbor- hoods. It was suggested that the present wards are too large and varied to be workable units. that a central group is needed to coâ€"ordinate the views of the ratepayers and other interested groups. One group recommended that before a municipal elec- tion. community groups or ward associations set up “job specifications for council- lors“. recognizing the need for business administration types as well as ombudsman types. INFORM PUBLIC Another group felt a citi- zens‘ advisory group must be recognized by a formal reso- lution of council if it is to be effective. and neighborhood groups should be represented on the advisory board by people with authority to speak for the group. The public must be better informed. said another group. This could be done through special inserts in local news- papers, by posting lists of council meetings and main points of the agenda in librar- ies. Citizen groups could keep their neighborhood in- formed by a newsletter. H e 1 p m ate - Information should also have lists of coun- cil meetings, where and when they are held along with main points of the agenda. WANT PUBLICITY Pictures of plans and maps should also be lbetter publi- cizcd‘ through newspapers and on television to keep happenings in front of people. More than one group felt the municipal offices could provide better service by making agendas and minutes readily available and telling those who inquire how to get them. The town hall is not open at hours convenient for most people, said one group. It should be open on Saturdays to people wanting to inquire about plans and bylaws, which should be presented in simple language the layman could understand. An altern- ative suggestion was that an information trailer could be taken on Saturdays to local plazas. It was pointed out that the planning staff work for “us” and should be willing to in- form the public, to work co-operatively with them, not in confrontation.

One group recommended extension of the radius of information on spot re-zoning. At present only land owners in a 400 foot radius are noti- fied of intension to re-zone. This should be extended to at least 2,000 feet. preferably to the whole neighborhood. “We must learn about pro- posed development before it is a ‘fait accompli‘. therefore we must be aware of long range planning." If citizen groups worked on and approved “official town plans" they could apply pressure when necessary to make sure that the plan was adhered to. E In Vaughan. firemen used a resuscitator on W.

In Richmond Hill, Mrs. Sylvia Winson, 354 Yonge Street North, collapsed and had to be taken to York Cen- tral Hospital for treatment, following a fire at a com- bined store and office at the above address. The fire started in a util- ity room and caused $50 damage to the contents. It was not known what caused the fire, although rags were found burning on the top of a water heater. The local firefighters also assisted Jack Coleman, of 35 Richmond Street, who was found in his room in a semi- conscious state during an early-morning fire there Oc- tober 17. The fire was started from a lighter, which had dropped on the bedroom rug and ig- nited the latter and the bed. Coleman, who suffered smoke inhalation and burns. was taken to York Central Hospital for treatment. A fire at H. J. Mills Green- houses, Pugsley Avenue, caused about $1,500 damage to the building. The fire caused about $1,- 700 damage. The fire started when the boiler over-heated due to a low water level. The Vaughan Department also attended a fire at Grimm's Food. 2160 High- way 7 in Concord, where a short in a breading machine caused $350 damage.

MEET RESISTANCE In discussion before pas- sage of the motion. Council- lor Andy Chateauvert said that in his opinion council might approve a board which acted as a communication and education body, but the ‘function as an advisory board would meet resistance. In a show of hands it was the unanimous reaction of those voting that an advisory capacity is as necessary as the information and 'educa- tion one. At the conclusion of the meeting a roster of people was signed up to 'begin at- tending planning committee meetings. A group of people also agreed to augment the initial committee to help amend the draft with the information gained at the meeting, to carry out the details of the motion, to begin to define specifically the purpose of a citizens' advisory board, to set the roster of people at- tending planning committee meetings in motion.

At present, the levies are paid to the boards quarterly on the last days of March, June and September, and the 15th of December.
