site in rural Mlllon were reviewed In part by town planning board last week Planning director Mario Vendltti lold the board day thai the amendments en in the Legislature Dec 15 will eliminate a great deal of red tape slowing down the planning process It Is his firm belief he commented Iha the changes Implemented arc aimed at returning author ity over planning matters to Ihe municipalities FIELD STUDIES An amendment to Section of the Act Mr Vendltti will enable solicitors for region to introduce the results of preliminary field studies as evidence before the Ontario Municipal Board which is presently conducting hearings in into the regions for per mission to establish a regional dump in that Opponents of the region landfill plans he said had sought an before the Supreme Court of Ontario that would have prevented the ion from conducting any studies at the ed site of the Mlllon dump The Injunction was granted on the basis Planning Act formerly stated that no public work may be undertaken which does not conform to the local official plan as was case in Milton The amendment will not allow a municipality to lake preliminary steps where it Is considering a public work that would not conform an ml plan In accordance with Sup reme Court decision in the case entitled Holmes versus regional municipal ityof the region would have been lied since the judgement precluded regional council from legally spending money investigate the leal suitability of the site until OMB Issues a decision on the application PRESENT STUDIES As a result the region may not be able to adequately present engineering studies In support of its cose and the amendment overcomes this difficulty a bulletin Issued by the ministry of housing capiat The Act however would still not allow any public work to be actually underiaken until Ihe official plan was amend cd Another amendment by Mr Vcndiiil seeks resolve ambiguities in the of Section of the Act which deals with subdivision control Shortcomings thai ex previously in ion he said had all affected agencies confused including Land Division Committee According to new ions however consent for the conveyance of any parcel of land is only required once rather ihan being required upon each subsequent convey as was previously Ii should be noted thai this amendment applies only to consents given in future and not to parcels of land that have been created by past consents ministry bull el in pointed out A further amendment which Mr Vendiltl predicted will save a great deal of lime for the town and developers is a revision Section In past he said development town szon bylaw had lobe forwarded to the even if council was in full agreement the and were no pub lic objections As a result of the amendment however when ore no public objections received lo an application for a zoning change the bylaw granting that change need not be sent to the OMB RoyBooihagreedlhal the revision will indeed save all concerned a great deal of in obtaining approval for developments thai conform to Ihe official plan He expressed concern thought that laleco- objections from memb ers of the public could prompt unfounded bill embarrassing accusations if development approval has already been granted Ontario Ministry of Labour THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SAFETY ACT BILL 70 The Occupational Health and Safety Act Bill was given Royal Assent
