The Chairman advised, that should any person wish to address the Committee respecting the manner of notice or the purpose and effect of the proposed by-law, they direct their comments through the Chair. . Further, the Chairman directed that persons wishing notice of the passage of the by-law, leave their name and address with the Clerk. Delegations No one being present to speak to the application, this portion of the meeting was declared closed. Mr. Rick Clow and Mr. Steve Laforest of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority presented the DRAFT of the Long Sault Conservation Area Master Plan Report to Members of the Commi ttee. . They advised the Committee and the members of the public present, that the document was a first public draft and would be subjected to review by a number of reporting agencies and municipal bodies. As well, they would encourage the public to review the document and provide written comments on the draft plan to the Authority. At the conclusion of the presentation, a number of persons indicated that they wished to address the Committee with respect to the draft plan proposal. The following persons addressed the Committee: 1. Mrs. Judy Metcalfe, R. R. 5. Bowmanville. She asked why the Authority would not permit horses to be ridden in the Conservation Area. Mr. Clow replied that Authority regulations prohibited the riding of horses in the area except by special permission. He said that horses were found to be detrimental in an environmentally sensitive area. However, residents might ask that horseback riding be considered as a new/permitted use. Mrs. Metcalfe then asked the Committee to recommend that horseback riding be made a permitted use during summer months only. . G.P.A. Minutes - 3 - December 17, 1984 Delegations 2. Mr. Peter Craig, R.R. 5, Bowmanville. He asked the CommIttee why the ConservatIon Authority was proceeding with this plan, when they had not yet completed the Hampton project. As well, he asked that hunting be discontinued in the Conservation Area, as it was dangerous to residents, their families and animals who lived on the properties bordering the area. 3. Mr. Mike Haskins, R. R. 5, Bowmanville. He advised_ the Committee, that he had just lived on his property since July of 1984, that he was happy with the area, but that C.L.O.C.A. ought to discontinue their hunting program. He also indicated that hunters disregarded the boundary fences and when he complained to the Authority he was unable to obtain a satisfactory resolution of the problem. . . 4. Kav Butterv. R. R. 1. Bowmanville. She noted, that the Authority proposed to establish a sawing operation and presumably to use the mill on her property. Mrs. Buttery advised, that if that was the case, the Authority was too late as the mill had been sold to the Jamacian Government. Mrs. Buttery also indicated, that the Authority had not contacted her about the property, she wasn't interested in selling and wanted to be left alone. 5. Mr. Douolas Farr. Toronto. He advised that he owned property south of Buttery's. He wanted to know the Authority's long term plan for the area, as he wanted to build a retirement home on the land. 6. Mrs. Betty Roth. Her concern was with respect to the condition of the lands under the control of the Authority. Hiking she said had become impossible as the paths were overgrown with poison ivy and hunters made the area extremely dangerous to hikers. 7. Mrs. Helen Shankland. She indicated, that her family was opposed to the use of the area for hunting, that members of her family had been forced to take cover on a number of occasions. Mrs. Shankland had asked that C.L.O.C.A. do something, but had not had any success. 8. Helen Terry. As of this date, she advised that there had been no conversation by C.L.O.C.A. with any of the affected property owners. The Authority proposal was new to them and there ought to have been contact. Also, she indicated that hunters were causing problems and had become increasingly irresponsible in their use/abuse of the area. . -~ G.P.A. Minutes Delegations . . Access over Road Allowance Long Sault Master Plan Presentation 60.87.104. . - 4 - December 17, 1984 9. Emerson Salter, Jasmine Street, Oshawa. He advised the CommIttee that he was ChaIrman of a cross-country ski club and that his club worked with the Authority in preparing trails. He also stated, that his club would continue to work with the Authority so that the cost of operation could be kept down and hopefully more areas could be opened up for recreation purposes. His club was opposed to hunting and had submitted briefs to the Authority stating their position. 10. Mr. Sid Greenslade, R. R. 5, Bowmanville. He advised, that full use is not made of the area by the public. Mr. Greenslade indicated, that he was opposed to hunting in the area and recounted his experience with hunters which resulted in a pheasant being shot about three feet from where his children were playing. 11. Mrs. Elizabeth Craig, R. R. 5, Bowmanville. She advised the Committee that her family had owned the land for 29 years and that in recent years, two meetings with C.L.O.C.A. had not resulted in the resolution of any problems. She asked Committee to request the Authority to stop the hunting as they were creating serious problems for area residents. It was her opinion that the Authority should not be thinking of acquiring more land as they weren't able to look after what they had. Mr. Walter Hengstberger, P.O. Box 545, Oshawa, Ontario, addressed the Committee and requested, that the matter of his delegation and the Public Works Department Report WD-86-84 dealing with the issue be tabled until the General Purpose and Administration Committee Meeting of January 7th 1985.
