SECTION A THFHE1UU Wednesday November Practicality catchword in BIA report By CHRIS AACAARD Herald Slaff Writer Stressing that their plan is as practical and reasonable as possible consultants attempt to secure the business futures of the Acton and Georgetown Business Improvement Areas presented the final phase of their be month study before a public meeting lost Tuesday night tried to be as reason able and functional as ible Peter Walker of Walker Wright Young and Associates Ltd the Toronto planning firm which conducted the review told reps from both communities and concerned residents who crowded the town council chambers We ve come up with what we think Is a practical plan even if it means some build may have to go which was enthusiastically received by nod Georgetown business peiple

municipal and pro fessional centre if the town proposed central admin Is lion building Is located In the If office space is In houses in the area and if a major attraction such as a supermarket li built in the Indeed Mr Walker said downtown Georgetown should be the heart of the adding that It is an easy thing to say and not easy to do We must find other uses besides retailing in the down town core We don think that it a unreal to make those proposals If is going lo happen additional food stores for example It should be in the downtown area TOWN HALL A special development area has been designated with in the Georgetown borde red by Main Street and Mill Street and partially by Back Acton BIA neat compact Street Landscaped with trees in the plnVi this the consult In j firm said would make a good location for the town hall and possibly a pew foods ore If the opportunity arises In the Unlike proposals for Acton a downtown care Georgetown recommendations encourage high density residential deve lopment In Mill Street Park Avenue area already by the hlghrlse Silver Creek Towers apart Development close to the of the community the consulting firm said auto ma provides the with a local retail base Although one resident at the meet I rig expressed concern that high density development might lead to an Increase In I ism Mr Walker said his firm had not considered the prospect because It believes that vandalism is more readily attributed economic condl lions and the lack of ly a 11 ructions which might discourage that kind of actlvl iy Meanwhile the consulting firm has defused a potentially contentious issue affecting residents living In the James George and Draper Streets area of Georgetown northwest of the downtown core During the last public meeting Sept 1 the consultants suggested the area is especially suitable Tor infilling or adding bouses on some of the larger lots should severance applications come forward In the future SMALLER LOTS Neighboring residents were quick lo react to the propo sal drafting a petition to oppose any suggestion that council should support smaller lot sixes and land severances In quiet older section of the community Mr Walker described the Issue as ing from an unfortunate choice of words and assured residents Tuesday night that his firm had not meant to single out the area for Infilling Other residents were concer with a proposal to even lually connect Market Street in Georgetown with Draper Street providing an route for traffic In cose of emergencies or when Main Street Is closed for repairs and market days There Is still time for the public to comment in writing about the study Letters should be sent to the town s offices on Trafalgar Road A final presentation on the proposal will be made before council In about a month Acton Business Improve ment Area IBIA may resemble a neatly compact component dogbonc in the future according to the latest and final part of the study of Hills downtown cores Peter Walker of Walker Wright Young and Associates Ltd told members of the Georgetown and Acton BIAS and concerned residents attending last Tuesdays public meeting regarding the last phase of the study that Aclon retail heart is in danger of spreading itself too thin between Main Street and Eastern Avenue Considerably more robust as a business area than its counterpart in Georgetown the Acton downtown core the consulting firm warned could be crippled if the town allows shopping centres to develop along the community urban boundaries Acton retail area around the Mill Street Main Street inter section will have the shopping easiness which attracts rest dents to large malls the study Indicates Mr Walker described the corridor running along Mill Street eastward to the area highlighted by the Hide House as a village link retaining the historical character of the community and enhancing Its already growing Lcath image The corridor envisioned In the consulting firm a plans would be ideal for professional offices he said but the houses already there should be main to preserve the historic flavor of the community Municipal development in the area should ensure that houses in the corridor

walking town In which residents largely prefer to do their shopping on foot One of Ihe more atari recommendations for the Main and Mill retail area proposes a parkette at the northeast corner on which a building already stands It the nicest corner In the winter and summer Mr Walker said adding that the parkette would provide a focus for Acton s elongated downtown core While not saying outright they support restoring the Acton town hall the century old building at the centre of a controversy concerning Its future the consultants have suggested its location is ideal for community centre of some kind Meanwhile at the debate continues over whether lo tear the hall down have stressed that council will have to solve Acton chronic parking space shortage Off street parking Is badly needed Mr Walker said Consultants suggestions for both Aclon and George town Include rather detailed landscape changes call for the addition of trees and other shrubs to relieve the drubness of some of the Bur rounding buildings Both downtown areas must have signs Mr Walker said which inform visitors that they are In significant areas of the communities In Georgetown the consult ants have recommended that more unique stores or services should be established at the entrance ways to its downtown core Acton Leathertown theme should bo presented to visitors as they enter the community and Mr Walker has suggested tourist inform booths should be easily accessible too In the study list of policy recommends lions for town council It expresses hope that the town shall encourage and support the theme for Acton as long as it docsn compromise the Acton role as a commercial centre The village like atmosphere which Acton offers can provide a function for all of Hollon Hills the study notes and the town should endorse Ideas in the community which generally cater to the tourist market Another policy regarding Acton attraction as a tourist spot suggests the establish of local historical architecture
