Although ap. poian by council the com- mittee is autonomous and not responsible to council. It deals with minor variances and with land severances.

Mrs. Pat Bedford intro- duced the group recalling that in the fall of 1973 con- siderable citizen interest de- veloped in planning matters and the fu'ture growth of the town and the group was or- ganized in the hope of re- ceiving official sanction to provide citizen input in plan- ning matters. “In the inte» rim a loosely knit group has been encouraging wide- spread participation and we have sent you our minutes and submissions on specific concerns,’ she said. GROWTH RATES David Schiller Spoke on the aspect of growth rates up to the year 2000 submit- ted by letter dated December 11. “He quoted) Planning Di- rector Hesse Rlimon as tel- ling council that if all subâ€" division proposals now on file with the town were ap- proved the municipality's population would be in- creased by 11,000, and stated that the advisory group felt there was a great need for a policy on the size of the population and the rate of growth, citing the figure of 113,000 as set by the pro- vince as the ultimate growth by the year 2000. a whole the indigenous po- pulation increases 1% a year with anohher 1% added thro- ugh immigration. Metro has grown from 3 to 3%% per year for the past decade and there has been some slowing down in the last five years, so a 4.3% growth rate is not restrictive," he claimed._ _ ‘Take Stand On How Hill Grows The group suggested an annual growth ram of 4.3%. but recognized that to imple- ment special programs this would need to 'be breached occasionally, but that the po- pulation should: um be a1- Iowed to grow by more than 25% in any five years per- iod. 'he said. “In Canada as “The opinion of the Citi- zens‘ Advisory Committee is that the municipality should take a stand on 'how we are to grow so we can plant for the present and 11he future. We realize that we will have to provide housing for the expanding areas around us as well as for our own po- pulati-on increase. The ques- tion is are we going to grow in an orderly manner or go like rune dickens at first and then have the door slammed shut and be faced with many problemsi‘i The Citizen’s Advisory Group spent an hour and a half on the evening of January .9 with the planning committee of Richmond Hill Council discussing matters of concern on which they had made submissions to the committee late last year. These matters included a controlled rate of growth, rezoning procedure, public participa- tion and modular homes. EXTRA 11,000 POPULATION Warning that figures and statistics should not be tak- en out of context, Planning Director Rimon started his report was nhat proposals which had been submitted to the town would bring added population of 11,000 if they are found suitable. "This is what might happen. but no reports or recommendations on these have been prepared. My report coveregil the whore “The point of argument is whether the municipality is going to control the growth hate at 4, 7, 10 or 12% over the next 26 years," counte- red Mr. Schiller. “There are ways con-trolling growth. We recognize that some things can not be conu‘olled but there are controls that can be exercised: to get some sort of ordserly growth." town and all applications in- cluding one development of 276 lots north of Oak Rid- ges which by itself would bring a population of 1000." “This is a problem we have recognized for a long time and we are trying to ahape up an organized planning de- partment to cope with the increased pressure. In stafl discussions on the new of- ficial plan the rate of growth came up as a very important ivnn. This kind of material could be of great assdstance to us in pneparing a report to council,” said Mr. Rimon. “Could we have some in- dication of the commi'btee members’ thinking which could give some guidance to \lmuuullmu\\t“um“\muummnmmm“numuummuuu Don’t Shove Snow Onto Highways The Highway Improve- ment Act, Chapter 21, Sec- tion 28, provides that any person who obstructs the highway with any object or m a t e rial (including snow) is subject to a fine. on conviction, of not less The OPP Oak Ridges Detachment reports nume- rous complaints in the past two weeks of people plow- ing snow onto highways from private lots or drive- ways.

Regional Councillor Gor- don Rowe, who was at the meeting as the mayor’s alter- nate. reported that negotia- tions are going on between the Region of York and Met- ro for water and sewage in this area at an estimated cost of $92 million. “I would be reluctant to cap lthe po- pulation figures. I want to be sure how many people are going to pay for these services. I want to know how much and how many. You can’t expect a locked-in po- pulation to pay mat amoun .” "As an individual member I would welcome guidelines on the rate of growth. In- stead of peaks and valleys I would like to see steady growth." stated Regional Councillor Lois Hancey. "Then the capital forecast could be based on reality rather than conjecture. So far as pressures are concer- ned, these are real right now, spilling over from Met- ro into York but the pro- vince has imposed limits on our growth. Whether It can maintain these limits remain to be seen. The size of the proposed pipeline was based on 113,000 population for Richmond Hill but excluded the rural areas where resi- dential development will be on wells and septic tanks. I'm wondering if we can atâ€" ford the cost of these ser- vices or whether it would be less expensive to stay as we are." Mrs. Hancey suggested an extension to the BAI'F sew- age treatment plant as a less expensive alternative to the provincially proposed trunk sewer, reporting that plant is so effective that there is less stream pollution below the plant on the North Don than above it. She also poin- ted! out that the town's trea- sury department has been asked to analyze each deve- lopment application as it comes_in to determine its fi- nancial impact on the town. “I would be in favor of a set rate of growth but I don't know what the figure would “I. too, am concerned about the rate of growth. We should keep it in step with industrial development. We are now looking at about 1000 acres norm of Highway 7 for industrial use. I don't know what the proper rate of growth should be.” said Councillor Graeme Bales. Mrs. Hancey's motion that the planning committee is in favor of the principle of a controlled ralte of growth and will notify the Citizens' Advisory Group when Ithe planning commimtee will be discussing the staff report concerning this question. was carried. REZONING BYLAWS Mr. Schiller went on to discuss with «he committee the provision for citizen par- ticipation in rezoning bylaws. Mr. . Rimon pointed out that some misunderstanding existed about recommen- dations to council. He poin- ted owt that the procedure suggested by Mm. Hancey that such bylaws be given two readings, circulated to the public, their comments received and considered and then the third reading will be given and the rules of the Municipal Act will be follow- ed. However, he noted that in some cases some bylaws have 00 be handled in dif- ferent. ways and the case of the rezoning bylaw for the new police building in the civic centre was cited by Regional Councill‘ar Rowe. He also said he didn't think rigid rules for procedure should be established fby by- A suggestion for enhanc- ing useful public input in the formulation of Official Plans, calling- for three or four public meetings with the purpose explained in lav- man’s language so all may understand was discussed by Mrs. Bedtford. This submis- sion was submitted in De- cember but was not discus- sed at the December 12 meeting, since it was addres- sed to the chairman and he did not receive it until just before bhat meeting. “It is my understanding that me planning director and I are to get together to develop a procedure for handling rezoning bylaws.” stated Mrs. Hancey. “Let's leave it art that for the pre- sent and we will le't you know when we have one, which is overdue." PUBLIC PARTICIPATION law. On motion of Chairman Stephenson this recommen- dation was received and re- ferred to staff for assessment and further discussion. This motion carried unanimously. The chairman then asked the help ofthe group in pre- understanding paring the newspaper adver- tisement for the January 17 meeting on the Yonge Street South Study. MODULAR. HOMES Bus Vermeulen presented the group’s submission on the proposed modular home development on 19th Ave- nue, which had been sent to the committee November 20. Their objections included the fact Ithat the develop- ment in that location does not conform to the regional official plan or to the Rich- mond Hill Official Plan, that municipal services are not available and that the propo- sal needs careful study by the planning committee It suggested thorough investi- gation of the ground water system, the lack of ground tenure, the lack of public transportation, more infor- ‘mation on the financial as- ‘ pee“: and the stability of the development. He also called for public meetings, giving ample opportunity for citi- zens to consider all the is- sues this proposal raises be- fore a conclusion is reached. “We are concerned about the apparent haste with which this is being handled, be- cause of the heavily burde- ned planning staff and be- cause a desirable rate of growth is under review." he sadd. Chair-man Stephenson poin- td out khan. council or its planning committee has not made a decision and will not make a decision on this mat- ter unitil a study is made. “Many public meetings will be held before anything is concluded on modular homes,” he assured the group. “I don’t know whether modular homes should be lo- cated in that area,” said Councillor Bales. “But I see them as an alternative to people who can't or who don't want to lay out $40,000 to $50,000. There are some good modular home parks and there are some bad ones. too, in this province. What I am interested in is seeing a study on this " N0 STUDY SOUGHT “The truth of the matter is that no study has been asked for." stated Mrs. Han- cey in disagreement with the chairman. “What has hap- pened is that council has ap- proved a motion asking the planning staff to prepare a report on a specific appli- cation. A subsequent motion which asked that modular homes be considered as part of title Official Plan was re- termed .to a planning commit- tee of the whole meeting. It is very misleading foo tell (these people and the press that a study is being made. That is not true!" Mr. Stephenson interrup- ted to express the desire to keep to the subject being dis- cussed. “You made a statement that a study is being made and that is inaccurate.” re- peated Mrs. Hancey. "I feel I have an obligation to tell it the way I see it. A report on an application has been approved â€" and that is not Notify 0f Changes Rockwell Area Bylaw Residents of the Rockwell Road, Doncrest Road area will receive notification of changes made in the pro- posed planning bylaw for that area since it was circu- lated and comments received, Richmond Hill Council's Plan ning Committee decided Jan- uary 8. The notification will be sent out when the date of the OMB hearing is determined, so those who have further objections may prepare for a presentation at the hearing and hire counsel if necessary. This decision came on the recommendation of Regional Councillor Lois Hancey who pointed out that some people who had not objected to the bylaw in its circulated form, might wish to object to the changes. Reference to the flood- plain as outlined by the Metro Conservation Author- ity was deleted since the authority hasn't completed final drawings. The flood plain lines shown on the map have been taken from the Markham bylaw. he ex- plained. “They might change after Metro has completed its Planning Director Hesse Rimon reported that the c h a n g e s entailed moving the neighborhood commercial zone boundary back to coinâ€" cide with the lot line of the lots facing Highway '7 and increasing the required rear yard from 25 feet to 50 feet. “Since the commercial area has 'been brought closer to the residential we hope the increase in the requirements for a back yard will create a buffer zone," he said. study.” 'â€"CAC The regional councillor then proposed a motion that modular homes be studied by the planning department and all applications on 'hand be deferred until council has approved of a policy on mo- bile home housing stock. “That will initiate your stu- dy,” she stated. RECORDED VOTE On a recorded vote, Coun- cillor Bales and Mrs. Hancey voted in favor of the motion and Stephenson and Rowe against it. This meant that the motion was automatically lost. The chairman explained the committee of the whole meeting had not been called as yet because of the ab- sence of members on holi- days and the vacancy caus- ed by the death of Coun- cillor Charles Stewart. “I decided to wait until a full attendance of council was possible." anl\\lumm“mum\ml\mmmnunmmmumnmummum it will probably be in Pon- derosa Park.
