an Ontario Municipal Board Hearing concerning the matter of on application by the Corporation of the Town of Hills for approval of Its restricted area By law I attended this at which Mr Shrives as Chairman We spent the first full day and a half liatenlni to lawyers with poorly prepared briefs and rambling incoherent proposals The worst of these John who took up the whole to moon of the meet with a completely Irrelevant matter not being dealt with by the Board Many of the Ian downers and formers referred to as Public left after the first morning hearing Mr of the Corporatio of the Town of Hills and I am attaching a copy of this letter I read this letter at the hearing and made further comments to the Board along the lines which I am writing by the Governments that is valued for its usi on thi rf highest and best use and to mi this makes sense We condition hen in where planner trained has elected to draw a plan of the com in his own words admits It is a record merely of what is existing and suggests no changes In other words he to is to or freeze this property which consists of about percent or more of the Town of and thereby destroying its Through poor pi inning ind my opinion the pin or froze the con of the In this core and light old sold for ap ir in acre Now there is acreage of land callable somewhere between and S3 000 an in this depressed location On the other hand to the west in Erin Mills and wen developed and the land there is selling for prices at between CO and HOODOO I know of one parcel where the ih t jus what There Is no question in any of minds that holding mi or freezing designation serious ami far rtathing implications One it sterilizes the use of land possibly tie if lands thereby mah even more expensive It gives the for involvement in our im thinking of Unking it by Prime Minister some of his Ontario with 1 ickering and the insidious as the Inn downer are concerned we lost all our land More than few of us r life savings tl e future of these lands lust we be victims of the no interest nothing lose ni miller what hap ens Is this the first step in Ink ownership of land Why in i 1 progressive on negative control concept Why i there not some designation such as development opportunity or potential lands etc Lands which have been purchased In Hills recently have been purchased it prices higher than that which moke them usable for agriculture alone We have already paid a fair price for the potential of these lands which is now being destroyed by Government activity MOM and yea most talents that we possess are permitted to be employed for their highest and best use Who would buy a car if he were permitted to drive it only on ihe street where he lives I am sure that this land if this By law is passed will end up exactly the same as the Centre Core in only worse At meeting In about a year ago there were nearly two hundred landowners in attendance and only two of them were in favour of this moat unfair Bylaw It Is not only my belief but that of many others that the Government has more than enough control power without this Bylaw which is loaded with so many curacies and omissions I am hopeful that It will be diacarded so that the normal and reasonable development a fine community can grow and prosper serving the people according to their true truly I Goddard 25692 grant for Lions A grant has been received by the
