Regional Executive President Ted Cooper Commissioner Mike Thomas Field Executive Myles Vanni Acton development awaits study ByBENDUMMETT The Herald Feelings of both optimism and pessimism were expressed dur ing a public meeting Monday at the Halton Hills Civic Centre over the viability of what is being referred to as the blue print for residential development in the Adpn urban area Town Planning Director Ian Keith told General Committee and the approximately people attending the meeting that the Acton Urban Area Residential Implementation Study could go before council as early as this spring for final approval General Committee is comprised of the Town councillors However Mayor Miller disagreed saying it could take years before the final contents of the study are agreed upon The mayor anticipates developers self interest will delay any agree ment on where residential development in Acton should hap pen for a long time The mayor went on to suggest the proposed study indicates developers instead of Town Council are deciding where hous ing should be located in the Acton urban area To that Acton Councillor Norm Elliott said I take offense at the mayor making political statements during a public meeting A public meeting is us ed to gather information for the staff to consider when deciding on a recommendation concerning development In response to the Mayors comment that the study allows for runaway development Coun said if there is going to be runaway development it will be a stampede of three or four horses The study states the five urban areas of Acton Acton east nor northwest west and southwest could accommodate housing units If this number were built Actons population would increase to people up from the current population of The Towns consultant and the studys author Wendy Nott said the Prospect Park well would have to be operating at capacity before all the houses could be built As well land would have to be set aside for a possible new elementary school and a com park she added Depending on the area the pro posed housing ranges from single family dwellings to a mixture of this type of housing and apart or semidetached housing said Ms Canada Packers owners of the Beardmore Tannery property in Acton was the principle objector to the study as presented The companys representative Philip Pound urged the study be re jected until the Tan property is recognized as land for residential housing We feel the property is an ex cellent redevelopment opportuni ty to provide a range of densities in close proximity to the downtown core said Mr Pound In an attempt to alleviate fears the soil on the property is contaminated Mr Pound said the company has a certificate from the provinces Ministry of Environment indicating the soil is clean Mr Keith told General Com mittee members he would con tact the province about the cer tificate Several representatives of developers owning property in the Acton area including the Ac ton East Development Group urged council to adopt the study so they could proceed with plann ed projects Obituary Aileen Agnes Bradley A former employee of The Herald and executive officer of the
