Majority Highway Highrise One Step Closer Reaming of industrial land on No highway which developer Al requires for a planned motel and a high rise apartment almost hit a snag at last weeks council meeting The proposal endorsed last year was on the agenda for preparation of a bylaw and carried by a slim 4 majority The live supporters were Mayor Smith Deputy Reeve Speight and Crs Hyde Levy and Sykes Mayor Smith said that for two years council has debated the pros and cons of the proposal and that originally he was not in favour But he said every town department has been contacted and has made no objections and that Queens Park has given its approval and there is a definite need for high rise apartments I don say this is an ideal but planning board and their consultant say It Is satisfactory and we should be satisfied with that he said CONFUSING Opponents said that while they favour a motel they dont want residential development so close 4 to the industrial park And they pointed out that a letter from the Ontario Municipal Board was confusing The board approved the apartment but hedged by Infering it was not a good location Cr Phil termed the location a remote area which could become a ghetto with a busy highway to cross for schools and shopping Reeve Morrow complained that council is seeking more industrial land while converting available locationa Into residential I wouldnt live there and I wont vote for anyone else to live there he said SURPRISED Deputy Reeve Speight opined that Georgetown la now in a slow growth area and is not going to get the industrial assessment it has hoped for Tax money must now come from commercial growth he said such as Mr proposes The apartments would overlook the Credit River an area for conservation which can never be built on he said Im surprised that east end councillors want parkland oppose this he said Reeve Morrow countered that commercial apartment asses Is not as rosy as the deputy pictures GETOUT

of the planning board he continued Cr Donna said she couldnt understand a planning board which makes such recommendations She quoted a York county tax study which said little tax gain comes from high rise apartments NOT SUITABLE I can paint a sad picture of women isolated In such she And she believes an apartment complex could scare off possible industrial locations nearby Hyde disputed that the location Is remote saying it Is no more so than some other east end locations The Industrial Com mission does not regard the land In question as suitable for in he said And he said apartments provide
