corridor The Interested Citizens Group ICG Is challenging Ontario Energy Minister Reuben Baetz to explain why a proposed Ontario Hydro power corridor must pass through Halton Hills The minister Informed the ICG which has opposed Ihe corridor for four years the cabinet last week rejected again any consideration of shifting the line The ICG would like to know why Ontario Hydro has not examined a shorter and less costly route The ICG also wants to know why cabinet confirmed the proposed route without answering ICG 27000 parks plan A lastditch stand by Coun clllor Walter Btehn to have town staff rather than a consultant conduct a master parks plan costing was defeated Monday night After much controversy the master parka plan was Included In the budget last week but Biehn con tended it should come out He contended the staff is competent to do the Job and could not see spending to have It done by a consul tant He emphasized he was not opposed to the plan Itself claiming there is a need to know what areas should be set aside for parks but the money could be saved Councillor Mike Armstrong said the recreation director had been adamant about keeping it in the budget and had cut a similar amount from other recreation projects to allow for the master plan Councillor Miller said he wanted it done by staff but was told they couldnt do it this year so was willing to go along with the consultant The budget has been passed and now were just playing games he added Im certainly not playing games retorted Biehn He claimed it would be cheaper to send three department heads to a resort in Honey Harbor for three days and have them do the report than pay a consultant Only Councillor Pat Patter son and Mayor Tom Hill backed Blehns stand questions concerning the planning of the line The ICG Is inviting Baetz to a meeting In Halton Hills in order to let the minister explain as he said he would the reasons for the path The line is planned to pass from north to south between Fifth and Sixth Lines over Highway 7 and down to a point near Milton The line is to transmit power from the Bruce nuclear generating station on Lake Huron to Milton Station ICG chairman Bill Mann sold last week he was disappointed in the cabinets decision Mann said he could understand the energy ministers feelings that the clock could not be turned back but Mann said Weve been working on this for four now they keep changing the game and changing the ministers if they had realized the errors they recognize now this line would be In the correct location In a letter to Mann last Tuesday energy minister stated the cost of replannlng and rebuilding the different route would be so large he could not in good conscience recommend the change Towers for the line have been recently built on swamp lands north of Highway However the ICG is counting on two forums in which it will air arguments A date Is yet to be set for on Ontario Municipal Board hearing concerning Hills stand against the corridor based on a provision in the old Official Plan Also the ICG is to appear before the provincial select committee on hydro next August financial help to cover legal fees In their continuing battle The financial request was referred to the finance com mittee but council passed a resolution endorsing again the need for an Independent study of the northsouth corridor area Walter Scott chairman of the Halton Hills Interested Citizens Group said he wanted to congratulate the council for their support and hoped they would hold out against the intimidation of inflation and supposed power shortage He said he would like council to write a letter of appreciation to the news media for their help In ex posing the truth He said the effectiveness of any hearings would be much stronger if financial support could be obtained to help offset legal fees Mr Moffat said the I C G are also offering their help to the town to correct misin formation sometimes presented by hydro and the Ministry of Energy systems and technical Information and technology data Mr Gardhouse pointed out the transmission of power from Bruce to MUlon serves no community along the line but serves only the north the United States and the grid None of the benefits come here only the adverse ef He said there will be ex pense to the town with the most serious the disruption of the agricultural community He asked for councils whole hearted support for an In dependent study of alter natives He pointed out the the poorest of several consultant Mr Gardhouse stated the to them by the ICG had spent a lot of money government supported their on legal fees and won a contention that this route is Supreme Court action Too many separations turn down one more Stating there had been too many separations on land owned by at the corner of Highway 7 and the Sixth Line Land Division Committee rejected en application last week Reports from the various agencies showed he property designated rural and within the Niagara Escarpment Commission control area Hills planning depart ment opposed the separation as did the regional planning department They claimed the land was outside the housing area Committee member William Coats pointed out Mr had been granted severances from the land previously but the last request was turned down because the committee was not willing to consider any more separations on this property Mr Hegedus said the last separation he had been granted was a year ago and another was refused year ago thought ft was turned down because It was too close to the other so I reapplied now
