Deputy-Reeve Simmons said that it was his impression that unless the
wording was changed in, any part this would be the subdivision by-law,
Councillor i\ilurrey said that when Clause 1 was read Council would see
how the by-law contradicts itself,
Clause 1
Councillor Murray !Said that Clause 1 reads "shall"' but
read "may" as in the preamble. If shall is left in it

BY-Law continued -
Councillor Williamson disagreed, If the subdivider has to equalize
assessment he is going to have to have large lots,
Councillor Illingworth said that since the levy is only $2,50 per foot
extra, he didn't think it would adversely affect the subdivider.
Reeve Patrick said that fifty foot lots a.re out of the question, They
should be at least 60 feet, ·
Councillor Illingworth said that we were speaking the other night about
the need for homes in the range the working man can afford. If we
limit lots to sixty feet I think it would discourage homes for working
men.
Reeve Patrick pointed out that a subdivider had brought in e.n agree-
ment in the past and the Planning Board insisted on 60 1 lots.
Councillor Illingworth said that Planning Board had set policy it was
not their perogative to set.

Clause 3
Councillor Illingworth said he would again make token resistance,
because he ~elt this was contrary to the Planning Act,
Councillor Murray felt this clause was very unsatisfactory. Many
complications go witb donation of school s.ites. What about services?
If we put them in it will be a local improvement charged against
the town, We should add to the clause that a fixed price be set so
it can't be escalated,
Councillor Illingworth said even this had been ruled illegal by the

items were discussed.
May 18th,
The following
1, STUDY-POS3IBLE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT -In considering
the requirement for part lot>control in the older section
of the town, your committee notes that in some areas l
where the lots are very deep, the sevcrl'lnce of
that portion of a lot facing a street, would affect
this future development of the lots now available to
the street, An example of -is the deep lots north
of Kennedy St. West of George St. It is 1~ossible that
at some future date the rear portion of those lots
could be developed by a roadway between, and parallel
to, Kennedy St. and Hillview. Your committee recommends
that this subject be referred to the planning board
for study and report,

Illingworth brief continued ~
William Lyon MacKenzie was no stranger to this section of York County,
It is quite possible that he be tramped over the park lands in question.
In naming a park for "Little Mac" we would do more than just celebrete
our Centennial but would record for all time some recognition for the
man who is largely responsible for the Durham report and government
as we know it to-day.
Our neighbouring villlige of Bond Head w·e,s named after the Lieut. Governqr
of that time, Sir Francis Bond Head, c:nd I. think you will agree the
name of 'Nilliam Lyon MacKenzie has been remembered long after thect of
Sir Francis Bond Head.
As the naming of the park should not be taken lightly, but should
have considerable thought, I therefore give notice at the next regular
meeting of Council, the following motion will be presented,
"Resolved that the Town Park located between Wellington St.
W. nnd Li,urora Heights Drive be named "V"Jillii:!m Lyon MacKenzie
Park".
Councillor Illinrworth said he would table his motion to be
reintroduced at the first meeting in September if no action is taken
by the Centennial Committee by the.t time.
