The NDP member of the provincial legislature com- mented on the practice at the Men's Canadian Club supper meeting in St. Paul's United Church on Jan. 14. He expressed concern over the problems that are likely to arise if development is allow- ed to continue in a haphazard fashion. The MPP's main objection is the policy developers ap- pear to be following in buying up the developing land around small villages while vast areas in the larger municipa- laties lie vacant. The cost of servicing such outlying areas for sewer and water and who pays for it also concerned the MPP. Certain- ly, the developer assumed the cost of the services being put in but such costs naturally would be recovered by the developer who added them to the price of the house. Mr. Moffatt.could not under- stand what type of psychology allowed such development to jump miles out into the country while available land was left untouched within the larger centre. "Surely that's not productive. That kind of Toned Silver Prints on Display at Photo Gallery planning is one of the most costly mistakes that this province has made," he said. Planning Committee To Discuss Region's Report Four On recommendation of the chairman, Coun. Kirk Entwisle, the Planning Advisory Committee decided Monday night to devote the text of their next meeting, Jan. 26, to discussion of the Regional Official Plan, Study Paper Four. The decision came following a question from one commit- tee member as to the status of the official plan and advice from Coun. Entwisle that Planning Director George Howden has prepared a brief on it. The committee felt that they should give some considera- tion to the study paper and Mr. Howden's report, and attempt to formulate an opinion prior to a meeting Jan. 29 with the Region. Coun. Entwisle also sug- gested that some discussion take place at the same meeting on the province's request for possible changes in the planning act. in the planning acf. Industrial Park Will Develop by Severances TV are several areas on the second floor including this house-keeping ceh.e, where the children can play with dolls and prepare 'pretend' meals. Prepares for Gigantic Snowarama With the first major snow- fall under their belts, snow- mobilers throughout 15 areas lu the province are enthusias- tically ?reparing for Whipper Watson s second annual Snow- arama for Timmy. By the time February rolls around, months of planning by Snowmobile clubs anca as- sociations, Easter Seal ser- vice clubs and the Ontario Societ for Crippled Children shoul result in an even bigger mass rally than last winter's which netted $130,000 for crippied children. As many as 5,000 machines are expected to embark on the 100-mile rally over any one of 15 official courses, each driver carrying the good wishes and financial backing of generous sponsors on a pledge-per-mile basis. Courses have been estab- lished so far in Bracebridge, A recommendation is to come from the Planning Advisory Committee to coun- cil to allow the Courtice Industrial Park to develop by means of land severaices. The decision to make the recommendation came follow- ing consideration Monday night of a report from the Planning Staff which re- quested the committee to impose certain conditions on the development. Prior to any severance on the 36-acre site being com- pleted, one condition reques- ted by the planners was that the park group be required to Bradford, the Bruce Penin- sula, Cochrane, Cornwall, Eganville, Haliburton- Mnden, Kirkland Lake, Mildmay-Chesley, Prescott- Brockville, Sault Ste. Marie, Smiths Falls-Kemptville, Sudbury, Thunder Bay and Timiins. Snowmobilers seeking in- formation pertaining to their particular area shouid contact their local snowmobile club, dealer or association. All proceeds fromthe Snow- arama will go to the Ontario Society for Crippled Children to assist its rehabilitation program for physically handi- capped children throughout the province at both the local and regional levels, submit a reference plan to the local and regional planning department. A second condition, recom- mended by Planning Director George Howden's report, asked that industrial develop- ment be entered into with Newcastle and the Region if any regional services are involved According to Mr. Howden the engineer's report, which was submitted by the devel- oper, indicates there are some problems with both the water supply and salvage disposal. Solicitor for the owners of the land, Gilbert and Mur- doch, agreed to the conditions following some minor alter- ations to the wording and the deletion of a third condition. The third, requested revi- sions to the industrial zoning be aitereci, to which Mr. Murdoch objected, with agree- ment from the committee members to delete it. Mr. Murdoch advised that the conditions of the report as present prior to the commit- tee's alterations, was too vague and far-reaching for his approval. Owners of the land which Mr. Murdoch was represent- ing are Darlington Interna- tional Ltd., and Carswell Construction Ltd.
