Mrs. Pat Best, Secretary, Board of Stewards, Eldad Church,
R.R. 1, Hampton, LOB 1JO, asked Council to approve in
principle, the extension of the Eldad Church Cemetery.
Mr. Ed Werry has agreed to give half an acre to extend
the cemetery. This extension will bury 450 people.
Because the cemetery has been inactive and the perpetual
care monies can't be used, the Board requires financial
assistance with the survey, severance and fence costs.
This extension will take the pressure off Bowmanville
and Hampton cemeteries where plots are limited. Council
approval is a requirement under the guidelines for
acquisition of lands for cemetery use.
Robert Pilkey, 27 Mosgrove Court, Bowmanville, presented
to Council a copy of a questionnaire and its results, that
was distributed to the residents of the Courtice Heights
Subdivision. In his presentation, Mr. Pilkey listed
several complaints associated with the subdivision
construction and developer. Mr. Pilkey asked that
Council review the material submitted and after the
examination, requested that the Town not issue further
building permits to this builder until he has thoroughly
correct~d every problem with the current homes he has built.
Mark Foley, Kingsberry Properties, P.O. Box 11, Oshawa,
L1H 7K8, asked Council to support the recommendation in the
General Purpose and Administration Committee Report that
relates to his property.
Wally Pitt, 19 Deerpark Crescent, Bowmanville was not present.
Darlene Cook, R.R. 1, Enniskillen, LOB 1HO, was present to
support her letter objecting to the request of some kennel
operators for an exemption from the noise by-law. Of
particular concern, is the kennel operator adjacent to her
property. The Cooks have been disturbed all summer by
barking dogs. Other kennel operators say they can live
with the by-law as it stands. Since advising the kennel
operators of the noise by-law and its penalties, the area
has been liveable. Mrs. Cook asks that the current by-law
for noise reduction be retained and strengthened in favour
of the residents surrounding kennels.
Larry Hannah, 25 Phair Ave., R.R. 4, Oshawa, voiced his concerns
relative to the new arena project and the associated costs.
He suggested that Council look at some figures such as the
$750,000.00 to be raised through fund raising, the sale of
the old arena and the cost to instal the services. He asked
that Council go back and re-assess what they are doing and
the mega dollars that are going into this project.

Mrs. Mary Novak, 1712 Pebblestone Rd., Box 14, R.R. 3,
Bowmanville, responded to the contents of Report WD-54-87,
and her request to obtain fill. Mrs. Novak expressed her
disapproval to the manner in which her neighbour Mr.
McFarland has received fill and she has not. In conclusion
Mrs. Novak asked "what deal cost Mr. McFarland a lot of
money and gave him the authority to direct the distribution
of fill and why, when I called on Tuesday requesting a
portion of the fill to be brought to me, was not acted
upon immediately."
