Jane Pepino, solicitor for Spring Mills, said by the end of the hearing she thinks all would admit the area in question is “not within the moraine". Both sides presented their arguments to the two-man board and members asked for time to peruse the evidence and pass down their decision. “It will probably be a minimum of six weeks," said acting Commissioner of Planning for the town, Clarence Cheung.

CKAN is the newly licenced AM radio station to be located at 1480 on the dial, broadcasting specifically to the Aurora, Newmarket and Bradford area and owned by Aurora, Newmarket and Bradford businessmen. The type of entertainment is basically adult oriented, middle of the road. The signal will be heard in Richmond Hill, but the primary service area, the concentration of news coverage and community involvement, is to the north. But, "This doesn't mean Rich» mond Hill will be ignored â€" far from it," said Wayne Bjorgan, general manager of CKBB in Barrie and CKCB in Collingwood who is lending his expertise to get the station on the air. The 165-foot towers and auxiliary buildings will be located on ten acres on Ridge Road east in Oak Ridges if the town agrees. Mr. Bjorgan explained his need to the town planning committee last Tuesday night saying the station had a tough time finding an appropriate piece of property.
