After the bylaw is approved by council it will be printed and distributed to every rate- payer in the township who may then comment within 14 days either for or against the bylaw or any section in it. “All documents will be con- sidered carefully and any changes considered necessary will be made before the bylaw is approved by council.” King Township Planning Com- mittee Chairman Councillor Bill Long explained to the audience that “the bylaw under discus- sion is only a preliminary doc- ument. The comprehensive bylaw is a spin-off of King’s Official Plan passed in 1970 designating the awe of development (if any) to be allowed in certain areas of the municipality. The bylaw will make “law” what the Official Plan broadly desig- nates for certain types of us- ages.

The date has been advanced one week due to the Legion Hockey Tournament opening the followng Monday (March 18). At a recent Branch 375 executive meeting, President Douglas Hopson stated that he had received comments from some community people with regard to the contents of last week's Legion column. Further to this he said that he considered those parents of «midget hockey players, and fans, who accompanied the Legion-sponsored 'team to Drummondville, "A great bunch of people", and em- phasized to members that the context of the report was not intended to criticize such people. In subsequent discussion regarding the content of that particular Legion Column, which is primarily intended for the benefit of 600 local Legionnaires, "tihe nine-mem- ber executive concluded that Liberal readers who wish to read of matters of concern to the Canadian Legion are most welcome to do so. Sponsorship of air cadets, for example, involves over 6,200 boys and girls in 375 squadrons. Hundreds of Legion members are in- volved as instructors and group leaders. An additional 12,500 boys itake pant in Legion‘sponsored scouts and cubs, making the Legion the largest sponsor of each amongst service organiza- tions. It also sponsors thou- sands of army and sea cadets. Each summer about 1,200 youngsters attend Legion youth camps in New Bcruns- wick, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, Manitoba and Sas- katchewan. And in the im- mediate future, there is every likelihood that Legion programs will become even more closely idemtified with community needs. Today. the Legion is hockey, curling. baseball, 1a- cross-e. Almost every sport imaginable. Its citizenship public Speaking and essay contests included, ltlhe Legion touches the lives of well over a million people â€" Legion people. and five of the United States, the Legion each year pumps $195 million and an army of workers into the com- munity. Most of this work is youthvoriented Wi‘hh more than ‘half a million young- sters involved. These activi- ties emanate from halls valued at almost $100 million. “There will be proper chan- nels to go through for re- quested changes and the Of- ficial Plan and zoning bylaw will be constantly under re- view and there will undoubt- edly be amendments made as Mr. Long termed the bylaw a “vehicle for orderly devel- opment” pointing out that it didn’t mean such and such an area would remain zoned that way forever. In essence it will assume that a factory won't suddenly spring- up beside an expensive residen- tial area, etc. Mr. Long explained that the “philosophy behind an Official Plan and subsequent compre- hensive zoning bylaw is to pro- tect residents from undesirable development next to their prop- erties as well as to let them know what could happen in the future." King’s Official Plan and com- prehensive zoning bylaw will operate under the umbrella of the province’s Toronto-Centred Region Plan as well as the York Region Official Plan now in a state of being prepared. A further public meeting will be held in the council chambers at an as yet unspecified date. Councillor Long noted that “there are areas of disagree- ment within council as to cer- tain specific sections of the bylaw and we have to iron these out as we will hear ob- jections or suggestions from you ratepayers."

This seems like a logical point Mr. Long explained that not- ices had been placed in area newspapers two or three weeks before "as well as in local stores, the post office, and ar- ena." He agreed that in the future any zoning bylaw changes could be possibly publicized to a greater extent. There was some concern among the audience that the public meeting hadn't been properly publicized. The bylaw. she said. and the Official Plan are designed to prevent 'an uncontrolled surge of undesirable development from other municipalities when water and other services are not available. Mayor Margaret Britnell told “The Liberal" that the township is basically designed for agri- culture and open land under the Toronto-Centred Region Plan with some “in-filling to be done regarding residential ar- eas in the various hamlets." He said the Official Plan and bylaw “are only making law the type of usage which is already in effect in the township, We aren‘t changing anything." situations change ture.” he said.

Legal non-conforming uses which do not meet the require- ments of the particular zone in which they are located, are pro- tected both under The Plan- ning Act of Ontario and in the written portion of the zoning bylaw to insure that all uses legally in existence previous to the bylaw may continue in the future. The meeting also saw‘ the presentation of illustrated slides depicting undesirable develop- ments in certain areas. “However, where develop- ment has occurred in the past of a different type or in dif- ferent general locations than is being encouraged in the Offic- ial Plan these uses will become legal non-conforming uses in the zoning bylaw."
