Pub Ii c Meet i ngs
Pythbow Developments
The Chairman advised any person wishing further notice of the
passage of the by-laws, if they are passed, to please leave
their name, address and telephone number with the Clerk before
leaving.
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 Planner advised that the proposed Official Plan Amendment
would change the designation of a 6.44 hectare (+ 16 acre) parcel
of land located in Part Lot 13, Broken Front Concession, former
Township of Darlington, now Bowmanville Urban Area (as shown
below) from "Special Purpose Commercial", "Major Open Space" and
"Hazard Lands" to "Community Central Area."
The proposed zoning by-law amendment would change the zone
category of these same lands from "C5-Special Purpose Commercial"
to an appropriate zoning to permit the proposed development.
The proposed Official Plan Amendment and zoning by-law amendment
would permit the development of a Shopping Mall an~ free standing
retail stores having a gross floor area of 16,934m (192,283 sq. ft.).
.
The Chairman advised that questions may be asked concerning the
manner of notice or the purpose and effect of the by-laws and
that all questions must be asked through the Chair.
The Chairman advised that Council would now hear from the
objectors, first explaining that Council wishes input prior to
a final decision.
Jane Sinclair McMillan, Binch, Barristers & Solicitors,
P.O. Box 38, South Tower, Royal Bank Plaza, Toronto, M5J 2J7,
representing L.D.C.M. Investments Limited and Barmond Builders
Limited, spoke in opposition to the amendments. Ms. Sinclair
stated that she endorses Planning Report PD-34-86 and supports
the O.M.B. decision dated February 11, 1985 to deny the previous
application of Pythbow. Ms. Sinclair reviewed several sections
of the O.M.B. decision and noted that the evidence of Mr. T.
Edwards, the Director of Planning for the Town of Newcastle is
referred to throughout the decision.
The A & P Grocery issue is currently ongoing and expansion at the
present site is being discussed. The approach in the alternative
proposal by Pythbow in attachment #4 of Report PD-34-86 is bad
planning and unsupportable. Ms. Sinclair reiterated the comments
of Mr. T. Edwards in Report PD-34-86 that the subject application
is identical to the proposal that was denied by the O.M.B. last
year.

Pythbow Developments
Mr. Al Strike, Strike & Strike, Barrister & Solicitor, 30 King
St. W. Bowmanville, representing the Bowmanville Business Centre,
spoke in opposition to the proposed amendments. Mr. Strike
endorsed the verbal comments made earlier by Ms. Sinclair
and the comments by Mr. T. Edwards, Director of Planning, in
Planning Report PD-34-86. In an attempt to revitalize the
downtown core, approximately $360,000 has been spent in the
central core of Bowmanville. If this proposal proceeds, the
possibility of undue impact on the existing facilities in the
downtown core is imminent. Mr. Strike referred to the O.M.B.
decision.
In conclusion, Mr. Strike stated that everyone is for development
but not when it will have an adverse impact on the central core.
The Chairman advised that Council would now hear from those in
support of this proposal. No person spoke in support of the
amendments.

explained to the Committee the function and objectives of his
department as well as his method of keeping record of

important components of the Town, co-ordinating advertising to
get the best dollar value is wise. For two-way communication,
Mr. Olive plans to work closely with the Administrator and Director
of Planning. To improve communications, an Economic Liaison
Committee consisting of staff from all the municipalities in the
Region, has been established to discuss the concerns of the various
municipalities. Mr. Olive does not feel it necessary for the
Town to have its own Economic Development Commissioner, however,
it is the Town's priviledge to have one, as Ajax, Whitby and
Oshawa have.eMr. CHive informed Council that there is a significant
shortage of industrial land and explained how he arrived at this
fact.
