(a) Edmond Vanhaverbeke - PD-290-89
Patricia Norton, Box 533, Newcast1e, LOA lHO, who resides in close
proximity of the above referenced proposal, circulated a petition in
opposition to this project with approximately 45 signatures. The
surrounding area residents' concerns include: an increase in traffic
congestion, parking availability, noise pollution, fear of rental units
being unkept and rundown, sma1l lot sizes and the possibility that
surrounding properties might be devalued.
Noone spoke in support of this application.
Ed Vanhaverbeke, 214 King St. East, Bowmanville, LIC IP3, the
applicant, advised the committee that the sight of the proposed
townhouses is located adjacent to commercial uses. This development
would act as a buffer between commercial and residential development
and would not be offered as a low cost rental. The construction of the
townhouses will be brick and he will manage the project from his office
in Bowmanville.
(b) William Tonno Construction Ltd. - PD-291-89
Henry Alexander, 3590 TruDs Road North, R.R.#3, Bowmanville,
L1C 3K4, a seventeen year resident of this area, stated that he does not
object to organized development but fears the loss of quantity and quality
of his well water. Because of the sudden surge of development in the
Courtice area, deer and small game are rapidly vanishing from this area.
He strongly urged the committee to compromise and keep low density
development in this area
