seal of approval on a development proposal to squeeze Georgetown subdivlalon did not Impress the HaitonHllla Municipal Council I dont give a damn what the Ministry of Housing wants snarled Councillor T Hyde What counts Is what we want In our town He complained that the proposal from In- vestment Ltd a Toronto Development firm would depreciate the value of most of the lots In the subdivision where preliminary construction work has Just begun The subdivision is located north of Princess Anne Drive and abuts Mary St and Churchill Crescent The subdivision was op proved in by the Georgetown Council and contains 11 lots each with a foot frontage The amendment to that original agreement sought by Investments would shave a to foot frontage off most of the properties to create enough space for the additional lots it aw acting as a Committee of the Whole last night with the en of the planning committee and with ex plana lions and promotions from Peter Heslin a solicitor for Because it was acting as a committee the Council veto last night is not the final word on Die subject but indicated the mood that will likely carry when it formally votes on the issue again tonight Mr arguments In defense of the soughtafter centered on the altered circumstances that he said have completely changed the housing picture in Toronto area communities during the three years since the agreement originally signed The Ministry of Housing wants more housing units he said Its simply a matter of supply and demand Housing lots that cost Jumped to 12 and on up to Although Mr Hyde saw the frontage reduction with a subsequent reduction in property values and thereby municipal assessment as the main obstacle to the proposal Councillor Morrow welcomed the plan for much the same reasons properties in the area by as much as making the purchase of a home In the subdivision that much easier for families moving in As well he said that the extra profits involved in the ad ditional units might make it more practical for the level to construct better quality homes on the reduced lots The municipality would immediately benefit through let levies collected on the ad 17 units he argued The amendment hinged upon immediate approval by the Council and by the Ministry of the Environment said Mr He explained that construction of services for the subdivision had already begun and already some of the work would have to be torn out If the lot frontage was allowed Even if the Council had favored the Idea however town planner Mario told Councillors that approval from the Ministry of the En vironmeot and the Helton Region and the Ontario Municipal Board could not be obtained in less than two months Edward H Schroeder D C DOCTOR CHIROPRACTIC QUEEN ST EAST BRAMPTON Telephone Alter Hour HOUR SERVICE Like a flustered debutante Halton Hills doesnt know what to wear to its own comingout party International Plowing Match to be held Sept to will be the first big crowd drawer here since this municipality was created last January The event has been all the talk of the county as far back as early in 1973 and now the great occasion is almost here This week the hosts of the event the Hills coun realized that time had flown by and no plana have been laid for the municipal pavilion held In reserve for the town There isnt even time left now to print complimentary books of matches The only suggestion that so fax has come to council plowing match representatives Joe Hurst and Russell Miller Is the proposal that a complimentary tea garden be set up on the site He told council that with a by 10 foot area of space to the municipality the tea service might break down either Into long queues at the front door or people being hurriedly ushered out the back As an alternative he suggested that the council satisfy Itself with providing just a resting space an area for elderly or just plain exhausted folks to settle down and to rest weary feet That plot fizzled noticeably when the suggestion was made that since good quality comfortable chairs would make the best Impression councillors should donate their leather padded council chairs for the twoday event NO CHAIRS I suppose youll all get up tight if I suggest we provide the council chairs ventured Morrow You bet we will responded Mayor Tom Hill Coxe thought the rest area suggestion was a little tame but he 1m mediately find an alternative It shouldnt be so passive that there Is Just a chair In there with a sign hanging on It saying Compliments of Hills He complained but his suggestion to pep up the project failed to arouse much ex citement Even If we gave out com plimentary yardsticks or had a record player in there even Just books of matches he suggested as an alternative but it was stated that there is too little time even for the matches Once councillor thought that a beer garden sounds somewhat more lively than the tea garden Idea but the municipality has already been beat out there too Already two beer gardens are in the works Another halfhearted proposal was defeated by the councillor who made It when he suggested that In other cir cumstances the municipality could mount a display based upon its history but he won dered Just how much Halton Hills has to show for the eight months of Its existence Paced with the dilemma and the call for help for plowing representatives Hurst and Miller council agreed
