Wise Planning

By any standard of. comparison, the physical gr owth
of Sidney during the past few. years has been
phenomenal. At a time when the business barometer has

hardly been encouraging,

new. commercial

professional services have been added, and no less
remarkable is the rapid expansion of the residential
_ areas to the north and south of the town.

Viewing the town as a whole, it must be obvious to the
most casual observer that vacant land will secon be ata
premium. If one were asked to name Sidney’s most

impelling need of the moment the answer must surely be .

wise and constructive planning.

. Sidney: in the past has relied heavily on the advice of.

‘the regional professional planners. Council has also
appointed a long-range planning committee composed
of council members. and (responsible citizens
representing a cross- section of the community.

This committee in its advisory capacity has useful
- duties to perform, therefore it is regrettable that council
-atits last meeting chose to make an important planning
decision without first taking. advantage of the long-
= range planning committee’s recommendations.,

There may. be good and sufficient reasons for council’ Ss
> decision. ‘to: reject the application of Albert Yuen for
further rezoning of land adjacent to the apartments he
has already constructed. Those that have been com-

: > pleted are of credit to ‘the Amagalnative approach of. the

Bs builder.

“Inthe first place it is 5 regrettable. that the development
was’ allowed to proceed without prior insistence on‘an

; access. road, .
