New regulation for airports Oak Ridges subdivision in the works Pay raise too high, AIB tells schools BUTTONVILLE â€" Federal authorities are going to intervene in the long battle between local residents and operators of Buttonville airport. They are also preparing an air navigation order to establish procedures for suture relationships between airport owners and local municipalities. The 'Toronto Airways Ltd. airport flight paths pass' over a large area of Markham and Richmond Hill. RICHMOND HILL â€" The Anti- Inflation Board has written Douglas Allen, York county board of education chairman. saying the recent raises approved by the school board to its senior administrative staff, are ex- cessive. After years of public hearings, town council meetings and a Municipal Board appeal, the provincial govern- ment recently ordered Markham council to open the way for runway extension at the airport. As a result, the A18 suggested the board keep AIB guidelines in mind if it decides to reconsider the salaries. The letter arose out of recent af- fidavits sent to the A18. following the increases in March, and is a possible item on the board‘s agenda when it returns to work Monday night. Council, however: has repeatedly delayed final approval of the necessary bylaw.

RICHMOND HILL â€" A proposed 23- lot subdivision at the northern edge of Richmond Hill got the endorsement of town council‘s planning committee last week. The development is planned for 160 acres west of Yonge Street, south of Bloomington Road. The owners, Ricenberg Developâ€" ments Ltd., intend 179 of the lots to be 15,000 square feet each â€" about average for Richmond Hill.

A resolution called for the board to pay 10 per cent or $2,400, whichever was smaller, effective Sept. 1, 1975, with the balance to be paid with AIB approval. The AIB afiproved the raiéés, but called for sworn affidavits to the effect they were agreed to before October t4. The Liberal has learned the AIB felt there was still some doubt about the board‘s over-all intentions and as a result it was leaving it up to the board to resolve any issues still to be decided. and whether the actions taken had been justified. These were later supplied by John Raniowski. chairman of the negotiating committee. and Education Director Sam Chapman. deferred the issue and requested fur- ther consultation with the Municipal Board.

Mayor Garnet Williams said he ex- pects the issue to be dealt with in early September. Approval from York region council will also be necessary before the project could start. Williams himself has already an- nounced his support of the application by Family Leisure Centres to build the 320-acre complex at Highway 400 and Major MacKenzie Drive. “I can see nothing wrong with it," Williams said, adding that he doesn’t know for sure whether other council members have made up their minds on the issue. NEWMARKETâ€"A strategy paper on urban development in south central York is not an “isolated” document, nor a “rigid” one, former York plan- ning commissioner Murray Pound told a special meeting of York regional council last week. Pound, who is now in private business in Toronto, said the report, which was adopted by council for discussion, had been done with a look to Metro Toronto. The recommendations â€" including a propos'al that the region’s population grow to 500,000 â€" were made “in context to and relationship to Metro," Pound said. “They were determined on our likely share of employment and industrial opportunities in the Metro area. It wasn’t rigid, “but the best we can do on the information we have today to give the municipalities guidancefl‘ The local municipalities involved, plus other concerned agencies, will have until Oct. 15 to consider their reactions to the report. That’s the deadline for submission of their views to the planning commissioner; these will then be brought before council by Nov. 15. “We have tried to make our document realistic,” Pound said. Property tax A motion on this by Councillor Bob Adams of Markham, also included a recommendation by Vaughan’s David Fraser regarding the controversial property taxation clause. The report had recommended the latter be regionalized “to ensure that each municipality pursues the type of development most appropriate, and to ensure that the system is a equitable as possible . . . . . all area municipalities should share in costs of municipal services in proportion to their ability to pay as measured by their total assessment." The report would also allow area municipalities to levy individual taxes to cover various local services. The report, which calls for a “moderate growth policy,” would see the region’s population hit the half- million mark by 2001, with 400,000 of those people in the southern end.

Under the program, which was an- nounced this week by Housing Minister John Rhodes, builders would arrange private mortgage financing and develop rental projects, which they would own and manage in return for government assistance. n on its way to council The pr0posal has been the object of a long and bitter campaign from a Maple- based group called Sensible Approach to Vaughan’s Environment (S.A.V.E.)

RICHMOND HILL â€" People in need of short term housing in York region now have somewhere to turn. During the past three months the Emergency Housing Task Force has added 12 homes to its registry, bringing the total to 14. The program began last November when seven social service agencies in the region identified a need for a “half way house” â€" for people on probation, unwed mothers, youths and adults who desperately need housing to tie them over until they find something more permanent. At the time, there was no such facility available in the region and the agencies opted to appeal to community residents to help out. 750,000 population?

OHC builder agreements would be in effect between 15 and 35 years. with rents adjusted annually from costs. The program complements the present assisted rental housing program, in which the province pays 10 per cent of capital costs, while the Family projects would be limited to a maximum of some 30 units to a site.

Task force workers have tried to “prethink the potential problems" that could arise from the placements. “If the homeownér shows some reservation about participating in the program, we don’t pressure‘them," she says. “We tell the homeowner beforehand, that if any complications arise from the placement, if it‘s just not working out. then contact the agency. “if they try it once 5nd they‘re not comfortable with the situation, that’s fine.
