Bâ€"l2 â€" THE LIBERAL. Marathon region debate Gormley subdivision by Jim Irving Despite objections by the owners and Richmond Hill council, the town is going to wind up as landlord of some land it would rather be without. Last week, after a marathon debate in which every member of council spoke at least once. York Region council approved an amended recom- mendation of its planning committee to convey 28 acres of open space in a draft plan subdivision at Bayview Avenue and Gormley sideroad, to the town. Until recently this land was part of Markham. The original recom« mendation called for the “lands to be held in common by the present owner, or future lot owners, “or to be con- veyed to Richmond Hill, the region, or Metro Conservation Authority. The amendment to make it exclusively the town's concern was made by Vaughan Mayor Garnet Williams towards the end of the debate. Owners opposed First to speak on the matter was Elmore Houser, solicitor for the owners. A letter presented to council from the owners, announcing his visit, said they were not in agreement with the planning committee‘s proposal to have the open space under private control, “either by the present owners or by the future abutting lot owners.“ The letter said Rich- mond Hill council had “unanimously approved" â€" Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Schiller said later approval was not unanimous, but by a 6-3 vote â€" a plan to divide the 28 acres so they would YOUR GOOD NEIGHBOR Ed.

Dec. 3, 1975 become part of each individual lot. “We, as owners. agree with this position." the letter said. It said that a check with 15 prospective buyers and future homeowners in the subdivision showed they were “also vehemently against not being able to have individual control of the access to the rear of their property.“ In his presentation, Houser said everyone agreed on the future of the land, but the regional planning department. As Richmond Hill didn‘t want the land for parks. there was no reason to convey it to them, Houser said, “so we elected to keep them in private ownership.“ “I ask you to go along with the plan as presented," the speaker said. “The owner would buy a lot at the front and a block at the rear. “These are houses that we expect will sell at $175,000 to $200,000." Communal ownership So far as communal ownership was con- cerned, “how long would it last? No one is going to take a direct interest in it, as an individual would," Houser said. “The plan has been many years (5) in the offing; we would like to get on with it," he said.

Richmond Hill (loun- cillor Gordon Rowe said that. so far as the area being heavily treed. it was doubtful anyone with the “kind of money" necessary to move into the area would cut down any trees. Unacceptable subdivision Planning Commissi» oner Murray Pound said his department had no knowledge of the ministry accepting it. The plan didn‘t conform to their design, he said. and the number of lots on it was unacceptable. There was also an “important precedent to consider" if the lots were extended into the valley area, he said. It wasn't just a matter of that plan, but a “matter of application to future plans as well.“ Councillor Lois Hancey of Richmond Hill said the town‘s Official Plan provided the flexibility for private ownership; the town was in a better position to interpret it than the region. She said the con- servation authority was concerned mainly about the condition of the woods.
