The final decision on the Kleinburg plan will be made by the cabinet. 7 The draft would allow an additional population of 1,500 to 1.600. The 0MB decision was appealed to cabinet. Council is preparing the revised draft for the cabinet’s con- venience. Kleinburg plan revision recommended Tlie plan is for 410 single family dwellings on 10,000 square foot lots fully serviced with water and sewers. All of the old area of Kleinburg would be serviced in the first stage. The Ontario Municipal Board last year turned down developer Cam Milani‘s previous plan and suggested single family dwelling be built on lots of about one acre Ratepayers fought bitterly against the proposal. Some cards orimééiémat Mall This makes it very likely council next week will end nine years of acrimonious fighting over the development and send the draft on to the Ontario cabinet. A revised draft of controversial Kleinburg area Official Plan amend- ment 19 was recommended to Vaughan Town council by committeeofâ€"thcL whole Monday night. The scheme would involve in ex- cess of $2 billion and threatens to Environmental Assessment Board Chairman David Caverly said of the decision to come, “It’s going to be a difficult report to write."

Presenting legal argument at a become a classic horror-story landfill- disaster, said Richard Hassard, Toronto real estate lawyer and owner of adjacent land. The site is unsuitable and the proposal involves untried engineering, said John Swaigen, counsel for the Canadian Environmental Law Association. “I don‘t think cabinet would just go "ahead and approve that document. “They never did such a thing before. “They would , be approving a document that never had a technical public hearing," Fraser said. Councillor Terry Goodwin of Thor- nhill refused to vote for the draft until he was assured it was fully studied and recommended by town staff. Councillors had the draft for three days before the meeting. He noted there was no normal procedure to follow in the matter since there was no town experience with such a request from cabinet. Cduncillor F‘raéer said he expects the cabinet would send the draft to the OMB for a public hearing. “We‘ve been fiddling with this too long now," said Mayor Garnet Williams. David Fraser. Vaughan regional councillor and town planning chair- man, described the draft as a good compromise proposal. Then 50 units would be built each year until the seven years of the plan con- eluded. Discussion was threatening to grow lengthy in a five-hour council meeting that finished after midnight. A REAL CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEA The fifth concert is scheduled for Sunday, January 29, and will feature The Climax Jazz Price of the ticket in- cludes the concert and lunch. 7 Tickets are available from members of the pipe band or Color Guard. “Members wishing to attend would be well- advised to purchase their tickets now,” he said, “or they may be disap- pointed." ticket sales are going well and a record crowd is expected. $229"5 $27500 It will be up to the parents and the weatherman whether students in York Region attend school certain days this winter. York County Board of Education decided this week‘ Weather or not. Only a reduced 32Gacre area should be allowed until enough in- formation was available for a decision on the larger 900-acre area. Vaughan Solicitor Tom Fraser said the town would oppose the proposal unless its conditions were met in any provincial approval given. If the town didn’t get a park, royalties. Maple bypass road and future emergency trust fund â€" then its only benefit would be to have Maple people living near North America‘s largest sanitary (garbage) landfill site, he said. board hearing for the first time, Ontario environment ministry counsel Dennis Brown said evidence was in- sufficient on the applications. The ministry via-sn‘t able to get the applicant coâ€"operation needed to achieve the best design. It favored land filT but opposed the applicqtions. Murray Chusid, solicitor for ap- plicant Superior Sand and Gravel, said Hassard’s $2 billion value on the ap- plication was inflammatory. “It makes me think there is one hearing going on here and another one in Mr. Hassard's mind,“ Chusid argued. ”. . . he knows where he can go, to court for an order,“ said Chusid, calling a Hassard submission silly, wicked and illegal. Chusid said Hassard’s’attack was indiscriminant, wholesale and venomous; but worthless. “It’s mush, but very adroitly presented._ ‘1‘: ‘ ‘ ‘ V. ‘ 1” i , ,4 I .

Blood clinic in the Mall RICHVIEW NURSERY The board approved a new policy, which gives parents the right to send their children to school, or keep them at home during severe snow storms, with or without school buses. The applicant evidence was con- tradictory, vague, and chaotic. The board shouldn’t even be hearing such applications, Hassard said. Consultant evidence showed the Maple pits to be an area of severe constraints. The alternative was to have them dig up and remove all the garbage dumped in the old gravel pits over the years by the town and Disposal Ser- vices Ltd., then start all over again. “Untiil they do, there is no case to meet." Hassard said York Region didn‘t need any more disposal sites until the year 2000 so the proposed dump was for Metro only. “It’s a windfall beyond the dreams of avarice,” said Hassard. But if there were to be approval, the applicants should be required to clean up all underground con- tamination and do a number of ex- pensive engineering works. “The applicants haven’t even got in the ball park yet. Approval, would satisfy only private interest. Roderick MacDougall, lawyer for applicant Crawford Sand and Gravel, said Hassard was grossly unfair, evidently thinking, “I‘ll just stick the knife into these fellows before I present the brief, in order to create the proper flavor . . .” Hassard asked the board to reject the proposal. There were better sites available elsewhere. The other sites would be more in the public interest. FREE GIFT FOR EVERY ONE!
