Friday, August 11,2000 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES 17 INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF INVESTIGATION Council hopes plan will help town cope with growth (Continued from page 1) - A process to review options for open space acquisition in the study area will be initiated by a task force comprised of representatives from Planning Services, Parks and Recreation, Finance and Legal plus two councillors, two members of the citizens' group Oakvillegreen and two members of the develop ment industry. A public meeting will be held before its report is brought to Council. - When the environmental assessment for Bumhamthorpe Road is completed, the issue of the boundary of residential and employment lands west of Neyagawa Boulevard will be re visited. - The task force has also been requested to recommend to Council that a process to initiate an ongoing study of transit/transportation issues in relation to the GTA and Oakville's future growth. The study was commissioned in response to the intensifying pres sures to develop 7,400 acres of agricultural land north of Dundas that has been designated "urban" by the Region of Halton Official Plan. The purpose of the study is to deter- mine the amount and location of residential and employment land as well as a phasing strategy for implementation. The study area is bounded by Dundas Street, the Bronte Creek Valley within Burlington, Hwy. 407 and Ninth Line. The land has been earmarked for both residential and employment uses. The study is a first step in a general review prior to the preparation of the general official plan amendment and other plans of the general strategies for implementing the ultimate land use. "This study provides the oppor tunity for Oakville Town Council to determine where, when and how to develop the lands north of Hwy. 5," said Planning Services Director Ted Salisbury. "It's a helpful guide line to follow." Hemson Consulting Ltd., the company behind the study, believes they have provided a solid guide line for future development "1 feel our plan is balanced," said company spokesman Ray Simpson. "While it may not please everybody completely, it can serve as a key building block that the town can use to maintain control over its planning." Prior to the vote, Bumhamthorpe Road resident Karen Nadeau, who along with her husband and daughter live in their dream home just east of Trafalgar Road, expressed concern that land around her house has a future industrial/commercial designation. If forced to leave her property, she wants a guarantee that her family will be properly reimbursed. "When we were first looking at the land we were told that we wouldn't have any water or gas until 2011," she told Council. "But we bought the house anyway and now with all the proposals, our land value has decreased significantly." Mulvale assured Nadeau that appropriate measures would be taken. "The days of expropriating land are long gone," she said. Ward 1 Councillor Kevin Flynn wondred how the town would deal with the traffic flow north of Dundas Streetwhen the town is expected to add 86,000 people by 2031. Ward 6 Councillor Kurt Franklin believes that the traffic solution lies in inter-regional road ways. "We have to work with sur rounding municipalities because there is no point in building something that ends at the Mississauga border," he said. Mulvale said the town would look into running buses on Sundays and holidays, if necessary. "We decided against running buses on Sundays and holidays previously because the ridership was so low that it did n't make fiscal sense," she said. "If there is a reason to evaluate that decision in the future, we will do so." The night before, resident Moira Latham had wanted an "iron-clad" guaran tee from the planning bodies of all levels of government that steps will be taken to incorporate a northern transportation sys tem that will effectively avoid gridlock. - I · A ffo rd a b le and R e a lis tic --D iplom a Prog ram · E xcN fe nt Em ploym ent O p p o rtu n itie s .
