At a special Council meeting on Thursday, councillors approved a concept for a Master Plan for the triangular piece of prime property in Georgetown, owned since the 1870s by the Harding family whose seed catalogues were renowned In Real Estate, We Are "The Sign of Performance" Call: 877-5165 Performance Counts throughout the Dominion. Although councillors had a lot of questions about exact details of what and how much would go where, consultant Wendy Nott assured them that many of their questions would be answered as the proposal goes through the further development stages of subdivision plans and zon- ing. Locating the separate sec- ondary school on the site was the most contentious issue during public meetings on the proposed plans but in the end a site of less than 15 acres fronting on Guelph Street was included, much to the relief of Catholic parents in Halton Hills whose children now are bussed to Milton. School Board trustee Joseph Deoni said that the site was the Board's first choice and its main attraction was thatthe developer wanted the school as part of the de- velopment. The school is slated to be built in 2004. During an earlier closed door session Council agreed to purchase three acres of parkland, increasing the total open space to eight acres, inclading a memorial garden at the corner of Guelph Street EORGETOWN Ask atiout our House Order Plan!

Inan 8-3 vote Councilalso agreed to buy 2.75 acres of land for anew fire hall, which would be located beside the commercial area at the cor- ner of Mountainview Road and Guelph Street. Money for a new fire hall was bumped from last year's budget to this year's. Although Georgetown councillors Ron Chatten, Al Cook and Anne Currie voted against locating a new fire hall on the Dominion Gar- dens land, Fire Chief Bill Cunningham argued the lo- cation would shave valuable minutes off emergency re- sponse times. Ward 2 (including rural Acton) Councillor Kevin Kuiack was the lone politi- cian to vote against the Mas- ter Plan, which he argued was pushed through too quickly and without sufficient public input. Council's approval of the Master Plan came just two days before Parallex Land Corporation's conditional offer to purchase the prop- erty expired. ans .
