to continue applying for zoning and Official Plan amendments on his old proposals Since Halton Hills has received no word yet from the province regarding Sprackmans notice that hes withdrawing his plan the town wont close its files on the project Once is received from the province the file will be closed Last spring Sprackman brought council a revised watereddown plaza plan but because he didnt withdraw his appeal of councils decision on his earlier plaza proposal his new plan was simply re ferred to the planning department The Withdrawal or his appeal on his first plan means the second vcr sion is also dead now only had an option to buy land south of Highway and east or Churchill and the owners of the property also applied for develop ment though for houses not a plaza Their request to be allowed to develop the property was turned down pending the study to see if Acton had sewage capacity to grow The owners referred their re quest to the The urban boundary study for Acton unveiled in December and approved earlier this year showed there was capacity for growth here and identified the land south of Highway 7 and cast of Churchill as suitable for homes though a plaza was ruled out The region and town are in the process of in torpor the enlarged urban service boundary which will permit housing development east of town in the Official Plans The two referrals to the from the owners of property wont likely be with drawn until are completed During his long battle with the municipality Sprackman filed objections to several other pro jects in Acton Including a rezoning on Main St North for industrial land and a rezoning for the plaza on the Dominion Hotel site holding up ap provals for these projects until he finally withdrew his objections Many residents wanted a plaza built here and signed petitions supporting plan which included a supermarket but repeated ly the municipality said development should take place downtown first and didnt want so much land on the
