Six candidates for Ward 2 coincil seat by private contractors is another The reckon needs to be picked up by its boot straps and given a good shaking on the landfill issue said She explained the region has spent lifting neighbors of to try and a dump in rural Hilton as well as on studies and is no closer to a new dump than 1 they ever were is concerned about a possible dump site in Hills and believe the only answer for what to do with garbage is a recycling plant The province set up a flood plain control committee which held public hearings but none in this area despite the fact there are two conservation authorities concerned with j Esquesing She objects to the fact those hearings were held without local residents being notified and decisions will be made without local input She also said provincial government planners in Toronto must be made more aware of rural problems and concerns Peter Norton The quality of goods and services de livered to Esquesing residents in relation to the taxes they pay is the important issue In ward two according to candidate Peter voters feel they are paying a lot and not getting much for their tax dollars On the subject of Section property assessment and tax reform Norton t decided where he stands yet In the spring a lax impact study is supposed to be com and he is reserving his opinion until he can review those documents Also he feels nobody should be stating a preference one way or the other on this subject until such time as the lax impact study is cam pitted and revi However he has made up bis mind solidly about one aspect of taxation rate In creases shouldnt be the inflation rate Norton and voters are concerned about the purchase of the Stevens property in Georgetown for a future home of a munici pal complex While he figures its too late to halt the purchase hes very cautious about the building of a complex lie questions why council is even looking at building a complex these days The timing t great Norton pointed out that governments are telling people spending must be restrained yet council is talking about asking the tax payers to pay for a project which could easily wind up costing in excess of million People are also concerned about the In discriminate spread of the aggregate and the disappearance of prime agricultural land Halton Hills must be careful or all of the beautiful open spaces will disappear and people dont want the rural area turned into another Bramalea or Farmers aren getting rich these days and people forget their financial plight Norton thinks it would help each farmer was allowed to severe off a maximum of two or parcels for housing development and then they don come back with further applications This type of policy is used in Such a move might make farming more lucrative Before any proposed landfill sites are made public government must assemble all the proper information and correct planning facts Norton pointed to one potential dump site in rural Hills shouldnt even be considered because It would impact do re sidents in the area and damage local creeks and wells People happy with the process being followed to allow rural housing development Other Issues include lack of water In some areas at Glen Williams the need for more sidewalks in hamlets the tad condition of many rural roads and the need for more industry in Halton Hills to create Jobs and reduce the mill rate Norton pledged if elected hell be approachable and accessible to hear Tony Taylor tony Taylor is concerned about seeing Halton Hills possibly adopting Section for property assessment reform because It would be unfair to suddenly slam owners of older homes with a staggering tax hike He feds that nobody really has the right answers now on the assessment subject and believes a big tax hike would especially hurt people on fixed incomes He suggests If council does opt for Section that it either be phased in over 10 years or else only Implement it for each property after Its sold so the new owner will feel the crunch Farmers need serious consideration with respect to Section more hardship shouldnt been dumped on the agricultural community Farmers are an endangered species Taylor declared A municipal complex isnt something Hills is ready for he said At a time when most governments are practising rest raint Halton Hills should also be setting an example The Town may need Improved facilities but voters feel it would be better to simply put a small addition on the Trafalgar building to cover municipal needs for another 10 yean Voters are saying Hills tag enough for a type complex yet and a project they fear will wind up cost tag to IS million Just needed now Also if the Town has any spare cash it should be spent on the disgusting and obscene rural roads People look ing for paved roads Just welt maintained gravel roads Not all cultural recreation centres in the rural area are problems but a few are and no more should be allowed in the rural area until the sorrowful situation Is solved Taylor says about all that can be done now is total enforcement of bylaws and suggests If the problems cant be resolved then buffer areas should be built between the centres and the agriculturalresidential community using a reasonable depth of trees People arent too satisfied with not only the value they receive for their taxes but also the quality of the representation they receive Voters feel they are kept too much in the dark and Taylor believes a newsletter would keep people informed The beauty and naturalness of the rural area could disappear over the next 10 years Taylor warns adding intelligent long term planning for orderly growth is needed In cases where development Is taking place traffic water and drainage concerns must be examined carefully because lack of study and controls can have disasterous effects on existing residents Council should approach rural development care fully in the future with peoples feelings In
