1 ljttilalirucaiilit jiia r georgetown herald publlahed by hm nowipatmr limited 22 mln slraar south gaorgalown ontario w c biihn publisher page 4 thursday july 18th 1968 editorial comment r j important decisions georgetown council ts facing tin un pormnt and far reaching cuciion on i wtici will affect the community fuufe i h ima at that of 193- when delrex fobdlvmoiv came into oeing in t4x day the wa rvo past exper- leoce o draw upon tb town was caught up in the excitn ment of an eypantion which doubled the towns physical proportion brought more industry more people and homes a shop ping plaza and the consequent benefits ind disadvantage of rapid prowtn the ekunuc proposal an extension of lie original delrex development would mean a nrrula surge forward after a tern perirgoff period which has giuen george town i chance to get its sea legs tei tnousand more people a second high school and more elementary school more water an extension to the sewage disposal plant more municipal employees kxj a bigcjei febilding to house tiiem more parks and recreation facilities re all farc- tors which must be considered council has wisely engaged a consult ing firm to examine the brumac proposal rvd recommend what action the town i in thi mail baq defies authorities will reopen resort at rosslake n n georgetown ont should take the report has now been presented aki is beirg given derailed scruiiny by the town fathers wrth hits available they thould be in a much bejler poihohhdn tho oouricil r number of a decade ago to decide on the iw4t action to take certainly it l important to look at every angle of expansion to take into con sideration every expense which large growth brings experience has showed that municipal swvices do not grow in xhct proportion to population a town of six thousand for instance gek by with a 3 or a man police force while a town of 15000 needs five times thi numbw the same holds rue for most municipal departments a paid fire depart rrveot and ambulance service more accom modatioi for swimming and skating more parks increased policing re all matiers which must have earnest consideration we expect council 1o give the consult ants report their her scrutiny and to come up wimi a proposal to brumac which will be fair to the town s present and future population and to the development firm need apartment policy apartment building seem to be one of town council s thorniest problems at pre sent at one time regulations were gov erned by the buildincj by law and prov d jng an applicant complied with this th procedure was cut and drted recently this by law was rhsnqef nd each application is now iuboct o councils okay udgcd on its own merits this ha led only to confusion and place an onerous task on councillor as they debate each application so fa few epertrmen severs have won fair pom a variety of reason boo op each trm council rightly listen to eompjetnts by ireiden4 who fear apartment feutlcb rtes will have an adverse affect on thr popecty value but most of the other objections would eem to have little valid the punrwng board ha compiled a list of objection which cn hardly be taken lef lously in persuading council to turn down one application distance from store trhnivhin od t4wn not heinn near th bearing on whether a person should be al lowed to build apartments overloading of the sanitary sewer sys tern hat been frequently used as a turn down yet if this i the case at on coun cillor said jait week all building permits shoud be denied until a solution is found senior government apparently iocs- not see eye to eye with council on the question in one recent case the town ws ordered to rezone a small area to allow an apartment permrt which had been denied by council fcnd disapproved by the- towns planning board this could set pattern where cer- tenly any case could receive similar treat ment and a delaying action would mean only money spent by town and applicant in legal fees gorget6wn need ft clearly defined law approved by the ontario municipal board outlining where epertment can be built and what requirement the town will make from the builder the toonew this
