discussion arose when Councillor Pam Sheldon pointed out Julius had been told he must pay a fee for parkland as a condition of two weeks before council approved the policy of charging the fee She the recommendation to charge the fee v made at the April meeting and a week later council approved that policy but on March Halton Land Division Committee acting on a letter from Clerk Administrator Ken Richardson posed the not yet adopted policy Council makes policy and staff imple ments it Stated Sheldon Richardson explained as administrator he took it upon himself to write to the ask them to impose the charge with the condition the owner enter into an agreement with the Tow if council approve it the agreement would be null and void and the fee He claimed the applicants were informed at the LDC meeting Councillor Mike Armstrong asked why did not appear before council to make his appeal Sheldon said he was un com for table talking in public and preferred to do it by letter A letter from Solicitor Peter McWilliams was sent to the mayor Armstrong opposed the resolution not to charge any applicants who sought a sever before the policy was approved con tending they were informed at the meeting He said noone had appealed the LDC decision Councillor Dave Whiting termed the fee a retroactive requirement which be could not approve He pointed out that being in formed at the meeluig is too late since the applicants are already there with a lawyer whose fee would have lo be paid Legislation should only be effective after it is officially passed Councillor Phil Carney questioned the legality of charging a fee before the policy was passed and said anyone in good con science would agree He also questioned the amount of the fee set at in the rural area and in the urban area He claim the amount was arrived at based on five per cent cash of parkland a common clause subdivision agreements but seldom if t r used in single lot severances He claimed the five per cent should be based on raw land prior lo the severance since the of land increases the moment severance is allowed Councillor Finn said council may have the right to do it but said it was morally wrong to charge after the fact Solicitor Bert Arnold who had appeared at the LDC on behalf of another client who also had the charge imposed explained the ap plicants could not appeal one condition of a severance without appealing the whole severance thus putting their own severance in jeopardy He said he pointed out to the members the policy was not yet in place On a recorded vote Councillors Ross Harry Levy
