Town Planning Study
Elkins (both of the Te

Town Planning Commi
Mr, George Peters and

ard by this four-man panel Wed-
t in force to

discuss the Terrace

ence and presented answers and
views,

Some of the questions and ans-
Wers were as follows:

Q: How definite is the Keith
Avenue widening proposal?

A. “The department of high-
ways has not given a positive ans-
wer and until they do, it is more
or less out of Council’s hands. ‘This
is our recommendation for the by-
Pass and we feel this is the right
Place for it.”

Q. Could 2 scenic drive ever be
built along the Bench ridge from

Lanfear to North Kalum?

A. “A good suggestion but
somewhat impractical. However, a
scenle viewpoint up there might
certainly be considered,”

Q. Will businesses in operation
now hecome non-conforming if
zoning is changed?

A. “Yes — although they would
be Permitted to continue in busi-
ness, they would be prevented
from expanding or changing.”

Q. Are Bench Fatepayers pay-
ing taxes for services in town? -

A. “If hap-hazard sub-division

development is allowed, the neces-
sary service development has ta
come out of general revenue. You
think taxes are high now, but be-
lieve me, they would be a lot high-
er without controlled develop-
ment.”

Q@. Aren't you limiting the com-
mercial areas too much?

A. “Just taking a casual look
through your main commercial
areas I found a great deal of va-
cant land. Granted, there may Te
high price tags on it but still,
there is a lot there to be used.”
