public health nurses were quite surprised when Mrs had a seven day menu plan which had been used by other rest homes and which is medically sound Pun letter said I also saw the prise on the ices of he nurses alter they went through the records and found thiit they were not only accurate but up to date The impression I obtained when listening to them the letter was that they were there to try and pin something on Mrs According to the law yer letter there have been several incidents at Cher Rest Home vcstiguted and found no fault The letter cited two examples in which assault had been alleged and investigated There is nothing contained in the police reports that would lead anyone to believe that there has been an assault These tlons of assault were made to police officers by someone In the cose of other recent charges about the care of patients at the rest home the lawyer staled in his letter that when public nurses were asked lo come up with proof they backed down and said nothing Other visits by health staff and a recent in by the fire department have followed I am not aware of this type of carrying on at any other rest home the area the letter stated and both believe that some people possibly even other rest home operators are trying to put the out of business Johnson who represents the Nassa area of Milton on regional council said he became involved in the Acton matter because the people could get no satisfaction through their own representative It not even my ward He said he will put together a summary report to send to the province but will wail until Tuesday day Health and Social Services Committee meeting when the matter is scheduled to be discussed again before making any Further moves for a provincial inquiry If the inquiry is a judicial one it will be done through the courts If it is a public inquiry it will be conducted through the Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs Johnson said is hoping that cither a special com it lee or an inquiry will put a slop to the mid rumors which arc hurting the business of the Chcrwoniaks He said that people for listed to go to the rest home have can celled out and that are gel ting obscene and rasslng phone calls as a result of the rumors and adverse publicity I feel a committee should took at it decide whether there a any wrongdoing actually happening the home and have other people either put their com plaints writing or shut their mouths he said Official Plan contains subtle changes Much of Hills first Official Plan new the document merely reflects policies previously established by council but there have also been many subtle changes made according to Councillor Sheldon who headed up the task force At public meetings Wednesday Thursday nights in Acton and citizens and developers got their first glimpse of the Official Plan which will replace the old Georgetown Acton and plans which have earned on since Hill birth In 1S74 Comments must be made to the Town by August and then the input and plan will be reviewed by council any rev Lions made and the document sent on to Queen Park for approval Sheldon observed Ihe plan contains little new re garding the two urban areas it is based mostly on the urban boundary studies which determined which outlying land could be serviced with water and sewers and the downtown studies She noted it would have been foolish to restudy the urban areas so all the relevent points ere incorporated into the new Official Plan Basically the task force worked on policies for the rural areas because no studies had been done on Its plan was done many years ago work on the rural part of the Plan was com pitted about the time the municipality lost its planner Mario Sheldon noted they real would take time to find a new planner so it was decided hire a consulting firm ihe one which had already done the downtown studies to complete the plan performed an extremely important task They wrote the plan in a format which will make It to the ministry she declared Among the new highlights of the plan Sheldon pointed to sections setting energy conservation and heritage goals industrial goals housing goals have been extended into a series of policies there was never a section of a Plan dialing with tran sport a Hon before etc farm land To this end three hamlets Stewart town Williams and have been designated along with 14 rural clusters These rural clusters areas where rural development will be permitted are s Corners Fourth Line and Highway Speyslde Highway and 17 Sideroad Five near Highway Hornby Stceles Ave at the Ninth Line Silvercreek Ball fad Winston Sideroad and he Town Line on the east side and north of Georgetown Sheldon explained by having rural clusters it will be to control severances separations will be directed to adjacent lo the rural clusters Unless a person is a farmer and needs a separation for son or farm helper home it will remely d fficult to obtain a severance away A pnmc objective of the plan is preservation Churchill south of Highway at 22 Steeles to 401 industrial land A major swath of land between Steeles Avenue and has been designated in trial in the new draft Official Plan for Hills The industrial land faces a large industrial park across the Town Lint in Milton The industrial land extends from west of the Filth to Just east of the Tenth Line along the Highway 401 corridor up to Avenue The prestige in dustrial land faces with the areas for warehousing or any industry with outside storage closer to Three small spots have been made way commercial where the intention is to serve the industrial Rural In the rural area where the aim the Official Plan is to pre serve agriculture there are a Tew but on the whole non- farm development will be discouraged and en couraged to locate in the hamlets or rural duster areas Cemeteries are permissible in the rural area but only serve the residents of that area Churches Churches and schools arc also allowed in the rural area but again the in tent Is to serve only rural residents An applicant wishing to build a church in a rural area would have to prove it could not go elsewhere Park Imdcr the new Official Plan only minor private parks are permissible in the rural area The definition of minor park has been left to the discretion of council Minor public recreational uses are also allowed in the rural Severances Only in one spot does the Hills plan conflict with the regional plan at present The regional plan does not permit any severances for non- farm use except for farm help or a retiring farmer but the Town plan would allow a new lot to be created as infilling between two existing houses on the same side of the road Consultant Peter Walker explained this item may not be ap proved by the region Rural listen Any rural farm development will be directed to the hamlets of Glen Williams or Stewart town or to ihe rural clusters which include Corners Hornby Msntewood reek Terra Cotta Peel Town I me Highway and the Fourth Line Highway and 17 road Highway and Sideroad and Steeles Avenue and the Ninth Line Development within the rural dusters will be contained within the cluster to avoid strip development strung along road The problem of private roads will be eliminated under this new plan since no new nonfarm houses will be allowed on a private road There arc also stringent guidelines for development of estate home areas Sheldon sold the town wants estate development but con trolled Three areas have been designated estate residential Highway at the F ifth Line the Fifth Line north or Highway and Highway north of Five Sideroad will too There is no provision for private recreation centres such as the Yugoslav and Croatian centres in the rural areas Another feature is the direction of rural industry serviced by

buffering controls vice and utilities guidelines parks and recreation development and implementation for lie plan Niagara controls Ihe plan and the Hills document generally conforms to the region plan Consultant Peter Walker served the Hills Plan must be read in con junction with the regional plan The Out serviced population limit for Acton is reflected in the plan and new housing In areas north
