He said the Tories had‘ stated a need for a commuter train in the area, and now there was one. However, the Conservatives would see that it would be permanent and better, with more stops, including west Toronto, plus a 10-fare ticket structure. York also needed a fair share of federal buildings and a “sensible approach" to youth programs. The Liberals intended ‘ Committee Before he purchased the property about a year and a half ago.

As the property stands it is a legal non-conforming ‘use since the two homes ‘ were built before the Town- ship of King passed a bylaw stating that only one resi- -‘ dence per lot would be per- ‘mitted. One home is appro- lximately 60 years old. the other about 12 years. Mr. > Ianetta lives in one and rents the other. He could continue to do so quite 1e- gally but if the lot is divided and two houses left on one portion it becomes a non- iegal use, according to legal . advice. Hill Council Allows Two Houses One Lot Patrick Janetta Mr. Janetta then made ap- plication for a rezoning to Richmond Hill Council's Planning Committee Which would permit him to retain the two residences on the one lot and sever the other. Recommendation of the planning staff, after study- ing the situation. was that Mr. Janetta be permitted to retain the two residences on the one lot for a period of five years and sever the other lot. At the end of that period the one house would have to be removed or razed. When this recommenda- tion was heard at the May 8 meeting of the planning committee Mr. Janetta was not satisfied, nor did he agree with a suggestion by Councillor Graeme Bales that a donation to the town’s parks fund for the remaining portion of the lot as well as for the severed portion Mr. H.

In addition, we will install a tree service line to your home provided that the main gas line runs directly in front of your house. Hard to believe? Just take it from the thousands of satisfied home- owners who have discovered for themselves how good gas can be. So Mr. Janetta took his plight to the May 21 meet- ing of council and won a ma- jority decision to grant him a rezoning to permit him to retain the two residences on one lot as well as sever one building lot for which he reported he had been offer- ed $43,000 when he some- what reluctantly agreed to a parks levy of about $3,000 on the remaining portion as well as $2,150 on the sever- ed portion. Councillors Lou Wainwright and Andy Cha- teauvert described this ploy as blackmail on the part of council. On a recorded vote. vot- ing in favor of the rezon- ing were Councillors Graeme Bales. John Ma- jor, David Stephenson, William Corcoran. Mayor William Lazenby and Re- gional Councillor Gordon Rowe. Voting against were, Councillors Chateauvert and Wainwright and Re- gional Councillor Lois Hancey. Those 31 opposi- tion argued that such a move would be setting a dangerous precedent, and council should uphold the town’s bylaws. might make the application acceptable. Mr. Janetta “isn’t out of the woods yet", Mayor Wil- liam Lazenby warned, in spite of council’s decision. The rezoning bylaw will have to be prepared, circu- lated. and will have to be approved by the Municipal Board. “It can be opposed by any ratepayer and it is quite possible it will be ne- gated by that body."
