The Clerk advised that: (a) Public Notice was mailed to property owners within 120m of the subject property on January 2, 1987; (b) Notice of the Public Meeting was posted on the property by January 2, 1987; (c) The Notice complies with the regulations under the Planning Act. . . . . G.P.A. Minutes Public Meetings E. Jose - Tyrone - 2 - February 2, 1987 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 amendment would change the density of a 4.124 hectare parcel of land in Part of Lot 9, Concession 6, former Township of Darlington, from a density of six (6) units to a density of eleven (11) units. 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. Lou Stavrakos, R.R. 5, Bowmanville, objected to the amendment on behalf of himself and all those who signed the petition. They are fearful that the increase of lots in the subdivision will create rapid growth that will destroy the small community atmosphere. They are also concerned with the effect the increased development will have on water supplies in the area. The affect of spring run-off on sewage systems is also causing concern. The residents have no objection to some growth but feel that a precedent is being set by subdividing agricultural land. Mr. Stavrakos requested that this proposal be referred back to staff for further review and that the creation of 11 lots be denied. Mr. Stavrakos also presented a letter of objection from Cecile Bowers who was unable to attend the hearing. The Chairman announced that Committee would now hear from the supporters. Bernard Heming, R.R. #5, Bowmanville, supports this proposal. He outlined a general meeting that was held in Tyrone regarding this proposal where half the people were in favour of this proposal. In his opinion, the residents were not given the correct information. Mr. Heming is not in favour of the groups staging proposal limiting development to 5 houses per year. In his opinion, Tyrone has next to the largest aquifers in the world. G.P.A. Minutes .... Public Meetings Mrs. E. Jost . .... . - 3 - February 2, 1987 Jean Ward, R.R. #5, Bowmanville, whose property abuts the subject lands, supports this development. Mrs. Ward moved to Tyrone 6 years ago. In her opinion, new development will protect the investment she has made in Tyrone. She has a duq well and has experienced shortage of water. This does not cause her concern. Allan Scott, R.R. 5, Bowmanville, owns property across the road from the subject lands. The establishment of 11 lots can only enhance properties and property values in Tyrone. He experienced some water problems and had to dig a new well. Mrs. E. Jost, Box 149, Hampton, Ontario, the applicant informed the Committee that she has lived in the Town of Newcastle for 32 years and has owned this property in Tyrone for 23 years. She paid a lot more for the property because it was designated for development but considered this to be security. A detailed engineering report confirms the suitability of the land to support private sewage systems and water supplies. The Chairman concluded the public meeting. ******************************************* Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment, Part of Lot 11, Concession 1, former Town of Bowmanville, Southland Canada (7 - Eleven) The Chairman announced the purpose of the Public Meeting.

Mr. DeJong is a small builder by trade who wants to build some extremely good houses. Mr. Rozema, the abutting farmer, indicated that the chickens are in the barn most of the time, however, in the middle of summer some noise can be heard. He has no concern with the development of Mr. DeJong. Mr. C. Emedi, P.O. Box 695, Station A, Downsview, spoke on behalf of Mr. Matijasicand asked the Committee to approve Mr. Matijasic's proposal.
