"CARRIED" Mr. Donald Welsh, made a submission to Council on behalf of the Durham Federation of Agriculture, relative to the decision to assess 30% of the cost of street lighting on the general tax levy.

Counci 1 Mi nutes Delegations re ~,rtice Urban ....... e.., Area - 2 - December 12, 1983 Mr. Bill Manson, representing Courtice Heights Development, the owners of four parcels of land located in Neighbourhoods 3B and 3C of the Courtice Urban Area, objected to the reduction in the area of the Courtice Urban Area Envelope. He said he had not been advised that this matter was before Committee and did not see the notice in the local newspaper. He felt that Amendment #12 to the Township of Darlington Official Plan, indicated that application of the Environmental Impact Analysis would be of a responsive nature and local positive and negative effects of the development would be considered on a site-specific basis. His conclusions relative to the study were not the same as those in the report presented to the General Purpose and Administration Committee. He felt that shrinking the Courtice Urban Envelope was bad planning and the proposed population re.distribution would encourage glorified strip development along Nash Road. Increasing density would be decreasing options. He said it appeared that the hurried manner of the amendment coming before Council was precipitated by subdivision applications. He said he would appreciate further dialogue with the Planning Department. Mr. Elmer Pollard spoke to Council relative to Planning Report PD-182-83. As a taxpayer, he said he was concerned with the effects on Neighbourhoods 3B and 3C in the Courtice Urban Area. He felt there had not been enough time for interested parties to have discussions with the Planning Department prior to the report coming forward. There were several points he and his architect needed to discuss with Planning, and he suggested to Council that the report be referred back. He felt there were areas in Neighbourhood 3C that were on a sandy plain and could be developed. He was concerned with the area being deleted in 3C.
