Home Newspape of Hills Tilt I September A Division Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Main St South 1 j Ontario 1111 1 1- ItuiM- Second Mill is not needed For decades that scenic sleepy hamlet we know fondly as Glen Williams seems to have en close proximity to the slow but sure urban of neighboring Georgetown with a minimum of friction and only an occasional newspaper In recent years the Glen headlines have been largely devoted to its highly successful Canada Day celebrations but this in particular there is news of the hamlet which many of its resident consider ominous and unwanted Accompany the public debut of town Secondary Plan for Glen Williams last week was a proposal which if approved by Council could see the hamlet population boosted by 200 new residents The of the situation must have been obvious to those in at tendance at last week planning meeting no sooner had the Secondary Plan been described as a municipal planning device aimed at preserving the Glens hamlet nature than a Spokesman for Chateau Development Ltd rose to the firm new baby a unit large lot subdivision com with town water the developer would pay to pipe in There is no question that Chateau principals local residents AI Pilutti and Phil Carney among them have come up with an enticing offer for town council For the right to sell their homes and lots at an average price of 000 each the firm is to install septic tanks so that Georgetown s sewage plant will not be further taxed and to pay for the extension of Georgetown water supply to the subdivision generating water bill revenue which on a much smaller scale could help Glen residents get the partys over So long to the cast and crew of Never Trust an Honest Thief its been fun It s been a little over a month since the film crew rolled into town and it safe to say for many Georgetown residents it a month that will be long remembered Few could complain about the way the film crew have conducted themselves during their stay in Georgetown Almost all of the inconveniences that resulted because of the movie were pleasant ones like the days Main was shutdown for the July parade or the sight of American bunting and flags hung throughout the down town core When they rolled into town someone in the film crew said he hoped their stay would create a festival in the town They did that and more so it will be with more than a little regret that as we goodbye the partys over Already Honest Thief filming locally has brought the town plenty of good publicity both on television and through newspaper coverage of the event Who knows how much more good publicity is in store for the town once the film opens Its a safe bet that at least a few people will pop through Georgetown to take a peck at the locations once the movie hits the theatres At the same as we compliment the makers of Honest Thief the people of Georgetown should give a collective pat on the back for begin the perfect hosts to the filmmakers For absolutely no capital output the town of lialton would reap a year in property taxes and extra in one shot lot levies for the development The children expected to find homes in the proposed sub division would fill out enrollment at the Glen Williams public school enabling the Board of Education to justify the con of a general purpose room for students and perhaps even keep the school open unlike itseven smaller counterpart in With proposals like this planning board its work cut out for it The question as we see it is whether or not to approve a development which would greatly alter the physical and aesthetic character of a community much loved for its small size and scenic vistas but would at the same time contribute substantially to the municipality ever emptying coffer It should be of no little concern that Chateau s proposed site is among the surrounding hilltops overlooking the Credit Valley Would be residents of the site will be thrilled Hikers and other nature lovers will not Critics may well advise us to take a hike but we llgladlyjoin the nature lovers and recommend the aesthetic over the functional in this case Planning board and council have come a long way in their efforts lo revitalize essential growth in Hills taking advantage of the current term and to some extent the new mayoralty administration to at least pry some development proposals off the drawing boards where they d been gathering dust Quick scans of the town development situation are now possible thanks to the planning department s monthly reports on the status of various proposals And lately the southern Ontario universe we call home seems to be unfolding as it should Georgetown in particular will witness substantial growth during the next few months with the McNally apartment buildings underway downtown the River Run revived above the Glen and Marports home subdivision ready for finahzation behind the Deirex market Still the proposal are pending and perhaps our elected representatives will properly remain cautious about accepting new development several far reaching questions are answered about them If one looks closely enough for example there are tny wires of red tape con necting virtually every develop ment proposal in town to the subdivision planned by Focal Properties Ltd The fate of that development remains un decided Nevertheless we feel there is sufficient room to relax and let a couple of offers go by in the interest of preserving our lifestyle Glen Williams residents more than of whom recently signed a petition questioning the Secondary Plan s population forecasts which they see as being too high have made it clear that they live in the Glen because they want to be residents of a small community We re not suggesting that Chateau Belairs proposal will create traffic jams on Glen Main Street or overcrowd the communitys attractive shops churches and halls to the point where the older residents cant squeeze in But like Mayor Pete noted last week when the proposal was unveiled before a gallery of wide eyed Glen residents the development of 61 homes could open the door Leave the door to Glen Williams closed and let sleepy
