Janet Lynn, who lived on a farm one concession east of the
landfill site operated by Regional Reclaimers Ltd.) for the
past 10 years, told Council that she was opposed to Committee
approving 'in principle' the Official Plan Amendment Application
for the site. She said that the previous resolution of Council
had been to table pending a report from the Ministry of the
Environment. The report had been received and she felt it
clearly stated that the application did not meet current
requirements of the Ministry. She said Council's decision
should have been to accept the recommendation of the Ministry,
the local planners and the regional planners who made an unbiased
report that the application should be denied. She said that with
the approval of the landfill site at Maple, Oshawa and Whitby
could use that site and there would be no need to expand the
present site. She spoke of the leachate in Graham Creek and
asked Council to consider the health, devaluation of property
and rights and well-being of the residents in making a decision.
Mr. Edward MacInnis was not present.
Mr. J. Parkinson of Gardiner Roberts spoke on~behalf of the
Committee of Clarke Constituents, most of whom live within one
and a half miles of the site. He said that Committee had
approved 'in principle' an academic situation. The application
was in the process of being changed. B.F.I. might be taking over
the operation. The application is being revised as to the size of
the site. The Region has tabled the matter pending further reports.
Approval in principle would take away the rights of his clients
to debate the matter before this Council. He asked Council to
table the matter, as the Region had done, until a revised application
with technical reports and supporting data had been filed and his
clients had been allowed to examine the papers. Council should then
convene the usual type of hearing. He commented on the failure
of Council to notify him and his clients when this matter was
before Committee.
In conclusion, he asked:
1) the recommendation be tabled until the revised application
has been made.
2) Find out who is making the application.
3) Have technical reports available with the final concerns
of the Ministry of the Environment.
4) Rescind the minutes of the Committee and table back to
Committee for a full hearing when the conditions have
been fulfilled.
