Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment, Part of lot 12, Concession 1, Bowmanville - John Rice The Chairman announced the purpose of the Public Meeting: As required under the new Planning 'Act (Section 34(12), Council is holding a public meeting prior to either adopting or rejecting the proposed zoning by-law amendment for Part of Lot 12, Concession 1, former Town of Bowmanville. The Chairman asked if there were any persons present wishing to speak to this matter. Several persons indicated a desire to speak to this amendment. Before proceeding with this matter, the Chairman asked the Clerk to advise on the manner of notice. The Clerk advised that: a) Public Notice was mailed to property owners within 120m of the subject property on September 19, 1986; b) Notice of the Public Meeting was posted on the property by September 19, 1986; c) The Notice complies with the regulations under the Planning Act. The Chairman announced that any person wishing further notice of the passage of the by-law, if passed, to please leave their name, address and telephone number with the Deputy Clerk before they leave. . The Chairman called on the Director of Planning to briefly describe the purpose and effect of the by-law, and how the by-law accomplishes the stated purpose. The proposed zoning by-law amendment would change the zone category of a 0.57 hectare parcel of land located in Part of Lot 12, Concession 1, BowmanvilIe, from "Urban Residential Type Four-Holding (H)R4" and "Urban Residential Type One (Rl-12)" to an appropriate zone to permit the development of a Seventy-Seven (77) unit condominium apartment building. The Chairman announced that questions may be asked concerning the manner of notice or the purpose and effect of the by-law, and that all questions must be asked through the Chair. . . . . . . . G.P.A. Minutes PUBLIC MEETINGS John Rice Cont'd - 4 - October 20, 1986 Lucien O'Neill, 131 Wellington Street, questioned the manner of notice. The Chairman explained that Notice is given to property owners within 120m, published in the local paper, and posted on the property, in accordance with the provision of the Planning Act. Ms. O'Neill is of the opinion, Notice should be extended further than 120m in cases such as this. The Chairman announced that Committee would now hear from objectors, first explaining that Council wishes input prior to a final decision. Mr. Edward Finlan, 136 Wellington Street, BowmanvilIe, representing the concerned citizens of Wellington and Scugog Streets asked that their objections be considered. When purchasing their properties, the area residents relied on the existing zoning. The present zoning allows for a much lower density buildiAgwhich is essential to the character and nature of the streets. The development of a high density complex will result in a number of changes in their area. Traffic will increase on Wellington and Scugog Streets, resulting in road widening which could mean the removal of established trees and landscaping. Road and sidewalk maintenance would increase as well as a need for more traffic lights, signs and precautions to ensure the safety of children playing and going to Central Public School. The intersection at Scugog, Wellington, Horsey and concession Streets, where all streets meet at the level railway crossing on Scugog Street, causes concern. The need may arise for an overpass to accommodate the increased traffic. Noise attenuation and vibration from the C.P.R. Line is a concern. It is the group's opinion, that the 77 unit condominium apartment building would have a great deal of difficulty fitting in with the architecturally distinctive homes located on Wellington Street and surrounding area. A 35 unit condominium has already been approved. The residents are not satisfied with the proposed plan to develop further a 77 unit building in a residential area. Peter Kizoff, 131 Wellington Street, Bowmanville, stated that he is in favour of some development on this parcel of land, but not this proposal. Most of the homes in the area are 2 -3 stories, century old, well-maintained, and an asset to the Town, architecturally and aesthetically. Mr. Kizoff also submitted a letter of opposition outlining other concerns. Everett Turner, 64 Scugog Street, Bowmanville, voiced his concern relative to the sewage system. When Durham Rd. #57 was re- constructed he had sewage in his basement. Will the sewage system be adequate for this size building. His main objection is the height of the building which in his opinion, is too high for this area. A petition objecting to this proposal, signed by many of the area residents, was submitted. . . . . . . . G.P .A. Mi nutes PUBLIC MEETINGS John Rice Cont'd Rezoning & Site Plan - John Rice 60.35.312. - 5 - October 20, 1986 Letters opposing the proposal were received from the following: Nancy A. Barkley, 34 Silver Street, Bowmanville; Keith R. Barkley, 34 Silver Street, Bowmanville; John & Carolyn Sproatt, 35 Scugog Street, Bowmanville; W. W. Bagnell, 264 King St. E., Bowmanville; Patricia & Lula Cpwle, 298 Church Street, Bowmanville. The Chairman announced that Committee would now hear from the supporters. Keith Shackelton, 106 Wellington Street, Bowmanville, lives in the next block east of the subject site. He supports the proposal because of the need for this type of development. The increased traffic is not a concern with him. Rick Bruynson, Architect & Engineer, 74 Simcoe St. S., Suite 302, Oshawa, acting on behalf of Mr. Rice, gave a brief history of the subject lands. The proposed building will be maintenance free brick veneer, to maintain the character of the area. The building will have closed balconies; 40% underground parking and 65% outside parking, with access to Scugog Street. The building is not designed for children, however, they cannot prevent them. Compromises have been made to soften the impact on the neighbourhood. Mr. I. Hamilton, Solicitor, 43 Ontario Street, Bowmanville, acting on behalf of the applicant owns a century home near the Veltri Complex. His home has not depreciated. A major concern is the lack of accommodation for seniors. Many have to relocate in outlying areas. A percentage of this new complex will be for senior citizens. The Chairman concluded the public meeting. ******************************************* Resolution #GPA-924-86 Moved by Councillor McKnight, seconded by Councillor Wotten THAT the Agenda be altered and Report PD-252-86 be dealt with at this time.

Bowmanville. asked that support be given to the denial of the proposed 50 lot development in Lot 24, Concession 3, former Township of Darlington, owned by Ivan Perun, Baby Point Investments. When he purchased his lands 4 years ago, he consulted with the Regional and Town Planners, and found the area designated as Major Open Space and Agriculture. This proposal would make major changes to the area and have a significant impact on his privacy. Eight of,the proposed lots would back onto his northerly boundary. He pays $4,000 a year in taxes to enjoy privacy and seclusion and feels his lifestyle will be dramatically affected. Mr. Mason suppor~ the Planning Director's concerns relative to the number of estate residential areas being proposed. Ann Geboers, R. R. 3. Bowmanville, spoke in opposition to the Ivan Perun/Baby Point Investments. The Geboers have lived there for 22 years. This development is not suitable for the area. Mr. A. A. Strike, Solicitor, 38 King St. W., BowmanvilIe, spoke in opposition to the Ivan Perun/Baby Point Investments, on behalf of his clients, Mr. & Mrs. F. J. Ashton. The Ashtons own 60 acres which runs along the complete border of the Perun lands. The Ashtons have an established horse boarding operation. Presently they board 50 horses. Approximately 250 gallons of water are required each day, therefore, the installation of 50 wells and 50 septic tanks are of concern to them. If the residences were established along the border, the Ashtons would have trouble . . . . . . . G.P.A. Minutes DELEGATIONS - 7 - October 20, 1986 Spreading the manure within the Ministry of Agriculture Guidelines. Mr. Strike questioned the impact on the schools and roads. He asked that the application be denied. Aleck Moffat, R. R. 2, Orono, was present to answer questions. No questions were asked. Mrs. Klose, R. R. 1, Orono, was present to answer questions. No questions were asked. Ron Hennesey, Group 23, Box 17, R.R. 3, Bowmanville, spoke in opposition to the Courtice Heights Proposal, to increase the gross floor area of a retail commercial plaza to 2,000 square metres. In his written presentation, Mr. Hennessey discussed the potential for impact due to the proposed plaza's proximity to the Community Central Area, and what noise impact would a licensed restaurant have on the area. The traffic flow has not been adequately considered. The roads are not designed to carry this volume of traffic. Dr,. John Rowe, representing the Courtice & Area Community Association, Group 12, Box 59, R.R. 3, Bowmanvile, asked that consideration be given to denying this proposal. Of major concern is too,:close proximity to the schools, increased traffic, redundancy of services, and the impact on the residential area. He strongly recommends that the proposal be denied. The Community Central Area will develop. Do not need this development at this time. Bill Manson, W.D.M. Consultants, 20 C~ematis Road, Willowdale, spoke on behalf of Courtice Heights Developments. The proposed plaza is a very modest size and only meant to serve the local residents. There will be 8 - 10 stores. The traffic will increase but not because of the plaza. The Community Central Area will not overlap. He has not commenced a leasing campaign but he anticipates attracting a different type of tenant. Mr. A. Hofstede, R. R. 6, Bowmanville, asked that reconsideration be given to his application for rezoning. He presented a letter from Mr. T. Watson, stating that he would have no objections to Mr. Hofstede's rezoning under certain conditions.
