Six months after the strategy was first made public, its planners have got the region's permission to explain it to local c0uncils. Consultant Murray Pound reviewed the strategy before the Vaughan council Monday, to provide for 482,000 people and 8.400 acres of industrial land through the York Central servicing scheme over the next 30 or so years. He noted most of Vaughan's labor force lives in Metropolitan Toronto and suggested it might be possible to provide more opportunities for em- ployment in York for people living here, but it wasn‘t easy to compete with Toronto for office employment. Goodwin suggested it was ivory tower planning to think there was any chance to change the process. Regional plan goads Goodwin “Don‘t repeat what happened in Bramalea. They built the factories first hoping that people would live there. When they built the houses, 80 per cent of the people who moved in worked somewhere else,“ he said. Goodwin was also critical of the in- dustrial figures which would give Vaughan between 4,200 and 4,500 acres. He felt there should be an oversupply of industrial land to bring down the price. “A transportation company pays $60,000 an acre for land in Vaughan. That means a case of soup costs 50 cents more when it gets to northwestern Ontario." Pound said there was only so much industry available. The blanners looked at Vaughan‘s proposal for 10,000 acres of industrial “There was concern about the remoteness and increasing size of regional government. As regional government size increases, the number of staff that it employs and the remoteness of the regional government from the individual citizen in a local area municipality both in- crease. This remoteness from individual citizens must not be allowed to continue. It was felt that increases in staff size in certain areas; water and sewage works, tend to lead to greater inef- ficiency in the system.” Aurora council has little good to say about the Recommended Strategy for Urban Development for South Central York, issued last year by the region.

Furthermore, the: members who discussed this report felt it should be rejected totally, as it is obviously a report designed for very light scrutiny as opposed to in- depth study, for when one takes time to study this report in depth, it is so full of holes and con- tradictions that it is ludicrous and a waste of the taxpayer's money." “It is recommended the town of Aurora oppose the imposition of regional taxation. It is also recommended each area municipality be allowed land. They concluded the tran- sportation services needed for it were more than the region could afford. The same thing ivas true of the option for high density development in the Yonge Street corridor. Transportation routes would be so overloaded that a medium capacity transit system would be needed and the region could not afford one, he said. The strategy proposes urban separators between Thornhill, Rich- mond Hill, Aurora and Newmarket. Land in the separators should not be sterilized. said Pound, but the use should not be intensive. Goodwin wondered if factories could be used as separators between residential communities. “I don’t mean factories backing on houses.“ He said the amount of time it takes to get plans done like the regional official plan, upsets the law of supply and demand. “There is not one in 1,000 of us living I in Vaughan for 10 years who could afford to buy our living quarters today,” he said. “It is damnable." Regional Administrator Jack Rettie noted the servicing scheme was already under construction. If there is no input from the region, the province will make the decision for us on where the growth will go. Input from ldcal municipalities is needed so the size of connections in each part of the system will be decided. Otherwise, it won‘t be up to the planners to determine where growth will go. It will be up to the engineers, Rettie said. As part of the reason for the plan taking so long, he noted the region had nine local municipalities to talk to “who would never agree." The ‘Recommended Strategy‘ (technical paper 8) represents the views of the Official technical committee, and purports to identify the preferred location and phasing of residential, industrial and comâ€" mercial development in the region through to the end of the century. It was intended to be the basis for the drafting of the policy statements dealing with the urban areas in the regional Official Plan document.
