(Photo by Hogg) A proposed allocation of interim sewage capacity looks like it will please moderate growth exponents in Richmond Hill while clearing up an environmental and a political sore spot. The plan approved last week by a joint York Region planning and engineering committee meeting provides for local consultation and is therefore not final. But if approved. the allocation of capacity will have a great impact on Richmond Hill's growth rate until 1981, Mayor David Schiller told a Ward 4 ratepayer meeting Monday. “it will keep it to about 4 percent a year, which is the rate of growth I have been advocating.“ he said. “What happens after 60-foot building height limit is set for old Richmond Hill village core Richmond Hill Council approved a 60-foot maximum height for buildings in the historic core of Richmond Hill May 5 as it gave second and third readings to Bylaw 17- 75 which will amend Bylaw 66-71. This new height limit will eliminate the additional optimum of 15 feet for elevator housing which had been proposed earlier: Research by staff and enuncillors showed it is practical to include the elevator housing in the top floor or basements of buildings. Councillor Marylo Graham sought to have the maximum height in the central core area on Yonge Street reduced to 50 feet at the April 23 meeting of council’s planning committee, which she chairs. But she was unsuccessful. Dr. David Faer had also presented a graphic presentation pointing out the negative factors of the higher height.

The mayor noted the property contains a standard 18-hole course and a nine-hole executive course. ’ “I understand the 18-hole course is leased back to the golf club until the end of 1977 and the nine-hole course is being leased to the club on a month-to-month basis. Early development “That indicates to me the new owner has some plans~ to propose for early develop- ment of that section,” said Schiller. Murray said Justice A. Goodman’s interpretation of an amendment to the County Judges Act sets a precedent affecting a “whole raft of other statutes.” The future of the Richmond Hill Golf and Country Club was a matter of concern for residents of Ward 4 as they met with Rich- mond Hill Council Monday night. He mentioned the Lan- dlord and Tenant Act and the Schools Administration Act are examples of statutes which reserve certain matters for the senior judge of the county to decide. “It‘s no secret the sale has gone through and the new owner is interested in developing," said Mayor_p.avid Sphiller. It was Murray’s argument before Divisional Court that Judge H.W. Allen did not heve the juridsiction to order a recount.

Bot Commissioner Twinney said three Regional mayors thought their com- munities were overpoliced.

However Markham and Vaughan can look forward to quite rapid growth as a result of the portioning of services. that time It is proposed Vaughan get enough capacity to service 22.500 new residents in the Thornhill area. Markham will get enough capacity for 18,000.

She said this would negate the rationale council had accepted of protecting the distinctive skyline of church spires and trees which is a unique feature of Richmond Hill. She also stressed the shadow effect on Yonge Street and the increased wind tunnel effect created by increased heights of buildings. Nor was she convinced of the economic arguments being used in support of greater heights since one four-storey office building is at present under construction in Rich- mond Hill and others in Toronto on much higher priced land. No seconder . She failed to get a seconder for her motion at the council table. The bylaw amendment now will have to go He went on to point out that “If the town wants to retain this property as a golf course, it can retain the present designation on the official plan and refuse rezoning. . “Of course, in that event, the developer could go to the OMB which could direct the municipality to amend the official plan. “However if we are right ‘and can con- vince the OMB we are trying to maintain this green area from a sound planning point of view, that body could well support our stand.” Quotes precedents In connection with seeking federal and provincial financial aid in purchasing the property to retain it as a publicly-owned municipal golf course, Mayor Schiller, noted the town would have York Downs and Tam O'Shanter clubs to quote as precedents. Newmarket tax cuts “Has not assessment gone down in Newmarket?" Judge William Lyon, the commission chairman, asked Com- missioner Ninney. Commissioner Tyvinney replied taxes had gone down every year since 1970, but “in ’70 they were ridiculous â€" now they’re fair." He said that the region had the right to ask for cuts if it felt they were necessary. “Council is not being unreasonable when they‘re giving us $6,800,000” he said. Wasting time His feeling was the police commission would be wasting its time by going back with anything under $250,000 cut. “They were very,‘ very strong in their feeling,” he said. “There was no support of anything under a $250,000 cut." éomrnissioner Roman still felt the commission has an obligation to explain the ramifications of such a cut. The reported sales price was $7 million WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1975 VA King Mayor Margaret Britnell has announced she will seek the provincial Liberal nomination in York North riding.

The only capacity for, new residential growth is already available and committed to the BAIF«Hillcrest second phase. However additional residential growth could be possible if Richvale residents decide the cost of hooking up to the pipe is too high. They will be given 18 months to decide. Mayor Schiller said in an interview Friday he thinks the 6.000 new people this servicing capacity will permit during the next six years is sufficient. Then. if they do balk at the cost, the available capacity will be up for grabs for new growth in Richmond Hill.
