G.P.A. Minutes PUBLIC MEETINGS Pioneer Petroleum / - 3 - March 2, 1987 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 z9ning by-law amendment would change the zone category of a 0.213 hectare parcel of land located in Part of Lot 11, Concession 1, former Town of Bowmanville (114 Liberty Street) from "Service Station Commercial (Cn" to an appropriate zone to permit the development of a convenience store in addition to the service station. 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. No questions were asked. The Chairman announced that Committee would now hear from objectors, first explaining that Council wishes input prior to a final decision. John L. Jeffrey, 83 Liberty Street South, Bowmanville, LIC 2N9 presented a petition signed by 362 persons opposing a new convenience store at Ontario & Liberty Streets. Mr. Jeffrey informed the Committee that his objections were the same as those mentioned at ~ouncil on January 26, 1987. The Chairman announced that another petition signed by numerous persons had been received by the Clerk. The petition is a request to put a stop to the ever-increasing number of variety stores in Bowmanville. A letter opposing the proposed convenience store was received from Linda Sutherland, 83 Duke Street, Bowmanville, LIC 2V7. The Chairman announced that Committee would now hear from the supporters. Joseph S. King, Planner, Weston-Templeton Limited, 14 Connie Crescent, Unit 16, Concord, Ontario, L4K lW8 spoke on behalf of Pioneer Petroleum; As required, a market impact study was prepared. Mr. King made several references to the study and to Planning Report PD-63-87. Under the existing zoning certain items are allowable for sale. The subject lands support an existing gas bar and service site. Therefore this would not be a major change of land use. Liberty Street has a substantial traffic flow therefore this proposal will not alter this traffic pattern. Consumers are demanding convenient shopping. The report outlines the benefits to the consumer. Mr. King is of the opinion that there is no reason to support the Planning Department's recommendation for denial of this proposal. . . . . G.P.A. Minutes PUBLIC MEETINGS Pioneer Petroleum DELEGATIONS - 4 - March 2, 1987 Joseph R.Bergman, President, Whippitt Developments Limited, 55A Avenue Road, Suite 605, Toronto, M5R 3L2 reported canvassing the patrons of the existing gas bar and asked their opinion of the proposal. A petition signed by over 200 persons supporting the gas bar, convenience store and mechanical operation has been submitted. The applicant is offering only convenient gas bar shopping to meet the needs of the area. This is the best possible use for this site. They are merely expanding an existing use. A moderate change in use is being requested. The Chairman concluded the public meeting. ********************************************************** Resolution #GPA-199-87 Moved by Councillor Wotten, seconded by Councillor Cowman THAT the delegation of Mr. & Mrs. Muir be added to the Agenda.

Mr. Heard would like to eventually sever a lot from his 4 acre lot. Marg Knox, R.R. #2, Blackstock, LOB lBO asked that her lot be included within the boundaries of the Hamlet of Enfield. They plan to phase out their cattle business. Being included as part of Enfield is to their best interest. Charles Green, 25 Bradshaw Street, Bowmanville, LlC 2H4 informed the Committee that he supports the referral of his application for Public Hearing. John and Carol Muir, Hancock Road, R. R. #6, Group 20, Box 6, Bowmanville, LlC 3K7 were present to complain about the burning that took place over the weekend on the property owned by S. Devesceri Construction Ltd. and the inadequate fire service. The Muirs called the Fire Department to investigate the burning which eminated large amounts of smoke that filled the Muir's home. A team headed by Mr. Hockney investigated and left the scene. A burning permit had been obtained by S. Devesceri Construction Ltd. and in the opinion of Mr. Hockney, the burning was in accordance with the permit. Around 5:30 p.m. the flames were shooting 10-12 feet high. The Fire Department was again called. Graydon Brown and the District Chief from Station #1 investigated. The fire was eventually put out. In conclusion, the Muirs were disturbed with the lack of concern with the health hazards the smoke was causing the area residents and with the fact that no Chief or Deputy is on board on the weekends. . . . .
