ptember 28, 1994 y HOWARD MOZEL akville Beaver Staff Just what we need â€" another layer f government. That‘s how residents at Town Hall onday night felt about the Third eritage Conservation District, a oundary which they believe will npose a procedure making many iundane improvements to their omes more inconvenient, timeâ€"conâ€" fuming and expensive. After all, any repairs other than outine maintenance (and even that is )pen to debate) are subject to scrutiny y the Town‘s Heritage Review ommittee and a delay of weeks or nonths. The result was almost three hours f debate and a convoluted procedural ness that would have been funny if so nany people‘s homes weren‘t affectâ€" »d. In the end, however, Council voted o defer the matter â€" again â€" so that eople living within the area can be etter informed about the implications of a heritage designation. The study, which has been kicking ound since the lateâ€"Eighties, began n earnest two years ago to define an area within Old Oakville as a Heritage onservation District under the Ontario Heritage Act. The finai plan which came before Council includes approximately 190 properties in a tract roughly bounded by Dunn Street, the Sixteen Mile Creek and Trafalgar Road on the west, Spruce Street on the north, Reynolds Street and a porâ€" tion of Allan Street on the east and Sumner Street on the south. According to a report prepared by Town planner Bruce Bellows, the plan "provides the basis for sensitive conâ€" servation management and protection of the area‘s heritage features." Among its many components are "guidelines that are intended to guide property owners in caring for and maintaining their heritage buildings and guidelines for alterations, restoraâ€" tion, reconstruction, building additions and new construction." In short, a "minimum standard of appropriateâ€" No Referral Necessary Maple Grove Village 511 Maple Grove Drive Oakville THE OAKVILLE ACNE CLINIC DEBBIE BADOWSKI, M.D, LINDA ZIMMERING, M.D. DENISE GRANT, MD. : are now accepting new patients.

Several resiâ€" dents, however, were on hand Monday night seeking excluâ€" sions for their properties, boundary changes or the defeat of the proposal altoâ€" gether. Others complained about a lack of communiâ€" cation from the Town. Only one woman â€" who said the poor turnout at public information meetings proved most residents wanted the district â€" spoke in favor of the plan. Each of those who articulated their opposition had their own unique reaâ€" sons for doing so, but what it boiled down to was their resistance to being forced to submit to a system which they felt was unnecessary and acutely subjective. Old Oakville resident and apartâ€" ment owner Joyce Sitarski, for examâ€" ple, said if left alone, homeowners would continue to use "good neighâ€" bors sense" to enhance their properties responsibly without all the red tape. Characterizing those meddling in their affairs as "busybodies," Sitarski mainâ€" tained that the Town‘s current regulaâ€" tions were enough. While some simple arithmetic by Ward 6 councillor Jim Smith deterâ€" mined that only about 20% of the proâ€" posed district currently qualified as "heritage," Richard Untermann â€" repâ€" resenting _ study â€" consultants Untermann, McPhail and Cuming â€" continued to advocate the district in grand, holistic terms. To the residents, however, it remained a nutsâ€"andâ€"bolts issue of the impact on individuals‘ rights.

This prompted Smith to call the document "incomplete and shoddily produced" and Ward 2 councillor Fred Oliver to wonder whether they should pay full price for it. The evening took a turn for the weird when Ward 4 councillor Mark Brown moved to have the report passed then Ward 1 councillor Kevin Flynn countered with a deferral motion. Flynn said he showed up thinking support for the plan was fully in place, but became worried that widespread misunderstanding still exists. As a result he called for another mailing of information and an added public meeting. After even more tangled arguâ€" ments over boundary changes and the exclusion of properties a motion of reconsideration was voted on and passed and the matter finally deferred. xxx W@@@@M@MW@MOW@@@@WW@WW@W@M@@W@@@@00%@@@@%%@@MW@M@MW Legacy: The Beauty of Allâ€"Wheel Drive Beauty, in this case, is more than skin deep.
