I Maple Residents Dislike Change In Zoning Once again, the report of the Senior Citizens of Vaughan is indicative of the very busy and active lives of many, and of the available activities for all those who haVe not yet become involv- ed in the social and recrea- tional aspects of “Vaughan for Seniors." “However, I don’t think he fully knows what has gone on in this matter and it isn’t clos- ed by any means.

After conducting the group of nearly 50 seniors through the impressive halls, amid portraits of past premiers and many reminders of the remarkable past of our prov- ince, Dianne answered ques- tions and described the floor plan of the Legislative As- sembly and the activities to be expected there in the af- ‘ernoon sitting. Following the morning tour. the group headed for the current favorite spot for lunch. Old Ed’s on King Street West, and then back to Queen‘s Park for nearly an hour in the east gallery for the afternoon session. Many were able to locate members of the assembly familiar to them. They thor- oughly enjoyed the short period during which a num- ber of problems were dis- cussed including the flood conditions from the weekend ‘before and then to inflation as involving oil companies, auto manufacturers, food, etc. Although several of the seniors were amused at the procedure in the assem- bly. we did hear the com- ment that the manners were ‘rude’! MEET LOCAL MLA With time limited. they re- luctantly left the gallery to head for a committee room where the staff of Donald Deacon MLA, York Centre, had made arrangements for afternoon refreshments. ag- ain under the supervision of Miss Algera. Although Mr. Deacon was away for the long weekend, his flight ar- rived in time for him to be on hand for a short visit with his constituents before they had to leave to take in the last item on their crowded day. This was a tour of the beautiful old St. James' Anglican Cathedral, Church and King Streets in Toronto. One of the first churches in Toronto. it is a fascinating historical build- ing with its amazing history of Christianity portrayed in its series of stained glass windows and plaques. Maple Ratepayer Tom Con- nolly is waging a battle with Vaughan Town Council regard- ing its decision to rezone part of the residential area of Maple to permit Cadillac Lum- ber to build a retail sales out- let fronting Keele Street. The store would be situated- on Keele Street on a site now occupied by two vacated residences. The folks were able to en- joy a few minutes in the \beautiful spring weather be- “We simply want that part of Keele Street to remain res- idential in character and resi- dentally zoned." he said. “When myself and some other resi- dents first objected to the re- zoning it was a matter of two fine homes being bulldozed to allow for the construction of a store. “Now we see the industrial area being extended into the village." continued Mr. Con- nolly who lives at 10122 Keele Street. “Council has gone from residential to commercial and industrial which is hardly an improvement. “Some members of council are determined to tear down the<e homes. Mayor Garnet Williams tried to convince us that it would be an improve- ment. J. L. MADILL Weed Inspector for their Travelways driver, Bill Richardson, picked them up again to arrive home around 6 pm. OTTAWA BUS TRIP Also on May 21, a bus from Woodbridge with friends from Aurora and Scarboro headed out for three days in Ottawa with their Travelways driver, Ross Kimble. The folks were truly happy with their trip which included their stay at the West Embassy on Car- ling Avenue, the cruise on the Rideau Canal, a three- hour visit to Sparks Street Mall, the guided tour of Ot- tawa with their guide “Lin- da”, the Parliament Build- ings. And of course they found the noisiest spot in the capital city when they toured the Royal Canadian Mint. They stopped on the way home at Forfar to tour the cheese factory and arrived home, full of praise for their driver who gave them the usual royal treatment and extras that our seniors do so appreciate. At this time, Hector Mc- Callum is relaxing from his trip. but is a1<o planning an outing to Woodbine, June 26 WOODBINE OUTING Connolly traced the back- ground history of council's moves to rezone the area-of- contention which goes back some years, He stated that the “first at- tempt was to rezone from residential to restricted com- mercial. Cadillac owned part of the property to be purchased and would purchase the re- mainder upon approval of the rezoning. Several local res- idents objected to the proposed change." Connolly told “The Liberal" that the matter went before an OMB hearing July 13 of last year and was rejected on the grounds that the change to commercial zoning was incom- patible with Vaughan's Official Plan. "Solution to this latter ob- stacle," said Connolly, “was to change the Official Plan. Coun- cil prepared Amendment No. 40 to the Official Plan which would not only designate the two residences (now owned by Cadillac) but all the residences to the north as well. “The re-designation would be to industrial since council did not think that a change to com- mercial would be acceptable to the OMB. To allow a com- mercial use within the indust- ria area a further modification to the Official Plan was re- quested." Connolly said that Bylaw 7-74 Your family’s health is your most important possession. This is what Ontario is doing to help you protect it. Most of us get sick or have an accident at one time or another. And left to our own resources, serious illness could often cripple us financially.

On May 22, the members of the Cabinet of the Town of Vaughan met in Wood- bridge with several import- ant items on the agenda, in- cluding the annual United Senior Citizens Convention to be held in McMaster Uni- versity, Hamilton, August 20 and 21. The annual summer picnic for the Vaughan seniors will be held June 20 in the Leg- ion Park in Woodbridge with a committee of mem- bers from Kleinburg, Maple, Thornhill and Woodbridge planning the activities. It has been decided that each and everyone will bring thir own lunch.

New England and Cape Cod is a four ev- oking interest as well as a 13 day Maritimes tour and a 21-day trip to the west coast. As we have tried to do in was proposed by council “This bylaw would allow the construction of the store and additions to other buildings by lessening the restrictions on minimum sideyards, setback and parking spaces, by means of a site plan agreement be- tween the town and Cadillac." Connolly said that council “is split on the issue and voted 4-3 on the bylaw. It was revealed at an earlier council meeting that Connolly had written a letter objecting to the rezoning proposals and outlining various reasons for those objections. The objections included that such a change would conflict with the Maple Community Plan. would extend the exist- ing industrial area into the vil- lage proper, would in effect create a strip of commercial use, isolate a part of residential area, would be incompatible with the surrounding resident- ial area. He also said that the pro- posals constitute “poor plan- ning in that they will create an isolated commercial area, add to the traffic congestion on Keele Street, create non-con- forming residential use in a former residential area and introduce an uncertain future for neighboring residences."
