Page 2 THE HERALD OUTLOOK Saturday March 18 1989 on Halton Hills Council cool on Miltons plans Miltons desire to grow may radically alter the nature of Hills some local councillors say Halton Hills councillors were responding to a request b Regional planners to go ahead with the second phase of an urbar development study which recom mends growth in Milton and the southern part of Hills The study says Milton will need to be serviced by Lake Ontario water if it is to grow to the size ex pected in the next 20 years The off shoot of that is that the southern end of Halton Hills along the Highway industrial corridor will be able to be serviced by the pipe from Lake Ontario Halton Hills councillors were told by Regional planning commis sioner Rash Mohammed that a huge wave of growth is inevitable in five to seven years after Mississauga and Bramptons in dustrial and residential land reaches capacity He urged them to plan for that growth No matter what local coun cils do its going to radically change Hills Gerald said Hills is not going to be an agricultural- urban community its going to be an urban community Some councillors think running a pipe from Lake Ontario would make the agricultural land in southern Hills vulnerable to development pressures But town planner Ian Keith said the ultimate effects on most of Hills will be minimal and that only the- Highway in dustrial corridor will be fully ser viced Noting that Milton wants to grow he advised Halton Hills councillors to not get in Miltons way and let Milton plan its future Miltons destiny isnt my con cern Halton Hills is replied Coun Norm Elliott Halton Hills is being asked to support a report that doesnt even serve our best interest it is designed to serve Miltons best But Mayor Miller assured his colleagues that the water pipe wont keep going north to Servicing the Highway In dustrial corridor would be a great tax base and it would also be a great place for our kids to get jobs he said Although all the other three municipalities in the Region have approved the Miltonsouthern Hills site as the study area for future growth Hills councillors refused to pass a mo tion saying the town has no objec tion to a further study on the area instead they passed a motion saying they approve of Halton con ducting the study Warmth with Coffee Break Welcome and discovery These two words capture the essence of
