Aaron Gaudon appeared before the Committee with respect to Report PSD-007-07. Mr. Gaudon has been a resident for 12 years and provided a brief PowerPoint presentation showing photos of the housing development abutting the strip mall containing the restaurant A Stone’s Throw Pub and Grill. Mr. Gaudon stated when they initially purchased their home, the developer Kaitlin Homes, promised a daycare facility would be built in the location where the pub now exists. Mr. Gaudon stated the disturbance started once the pub was built, specifically loud noises late at night by patrons exiting the pub, strangers speaking to their children through the fence, and a lack of privacy due to the close proximity of the pub. Mr. Gaudon stated that homeowners would request that the windows on the north of the pub, facing the homes, be blacked out to allow more privacy, that the entrance on the north be restricted to emergency use only, that a 6’ fence and solid hedge be installed at the north end of the parking lot as a buffer, and that the owners of the pub be accountable for patron behaviour. Cara Garneau appeared before the Committee with respect to Report PSD-007-07. Mrs. Garneau stated she has young children and since A Stone’s Throw Pub and Grill has been in operation, her family has experienced increased activity in the parking lot as well as loud noises late at night that wake up the household. Ms. Garneau stated she supports the recommendations that Aaron Gaudon suggested. Ryan Buck appeared before the Committee with respect to Report PSD-007-07. Mr. Buck stated he supports all the positions previously stated by homeowners abutting the A Stone’s Throw Pub and Grill.

Mr. Buck would like to see the plaza owner install a higher fence and a hedge to create a barrier between the parking lot and the homeowner’s yards in order to provide privacy. Gail Palmer appeared before the Committee with respect to Report PSD-007-07. Mrs. Palmer stated that since A Stone’s Throw Pub and Grill has been in operation, her family has endured loud noises in the parking lot as well as lewd and unscrupulous behaviour by pub patrons. Mrs. Palmer stated if approval for the liquor license for an outdoor patio is granted, this problem would only accelerate. Mrs. Palmer submitted a petition to Committee requesting the application for outdoor liquor license be denied, and photos depicting the lack of privacy of her property. Robert Rogers, on behalf of Eddie Rogers, owner of A Stone’s Throw Pub and Grill, appeared before the Committee with respect to Report PSD-007-07.

Roger Yates, an area resident, did not speak in opposition or support of the application, but stated that good planning should prevail. Russell Westwood spoke in opposition of the application. Mr. Westwood is an area resident and Bed & Breakfast owner who has concerns about the negative impacts on the community due to increased traffic and noise, the depletion of flora, and the danger to the treeline. Mr. Westwood suggested allowing a two year window of construction, rather than selling lots piece meal over an extended period of time, thereby allowing construction to run beyond a 10 year period. Mr. Westwood stated - 4 - General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes January 8, 2007 there are fears the George Manors Road allowance will be opened to increase the number homes being developed and suggested something be put in writing to ensure this does not occur.

Mr. Fleury stressed homeowners want to be involved in the decision making process which directly impact their lifestyles. Sam Wedlock spoke in opposition of the application. Ms. Wedlock is a resident of the area who has concerns about the negative impact the development is having on the environment, specifically the lake, shoreline, migration of birds and area fields. Ms. Wedlock stated there is concern that this development is setting a negative precedent and that homes being built need to complement the tone of the community. She requested that any expenses incurred by area residents, due to the construction, be paid for by the developer. Burt Vanden Heuvel spoke in opposition of the application. Mr. Vanden Heuvel is a resident of the area who has concerns about the development clusters and the number of homes being developed. Mr. Vanden Heuvel stated that the infrastructure should be in place prior to development, and not after the fact. Noel Gordon spoke in opposition of the application. Mr. Gordon is a resident of the area who has concerns about the rezoning classification and loss of “the best” agricultural land. Mr. Gordon stated there needs to be clarification concerning the number of lots in the cluster, as three lots were recently removed to provide public space along the waterfront. Mr. Gordon questioned the cost of the Darcy Street road allowance, and would the developer be required to pay for the land. He further questioned if the Municipality would permanently close the road allowance, resulting in no possibility of future development. Bill Skitch spoke in opposition of the application. Mr. Skitch is a resident of the area who has concerns about the depletion of agricultural lands, increased development and potential negative impact on the community’s ground water. Margaret Davidson Jewell spoke in opposition of the application.

Douglas Cronk spoke in opposition of the application. Mr. Cronk is a resident of the area who has concerns about the three vacant properties being used for future development. Mr. Cronk proposed the application be sent back to the Planning Services Department for further consideration until a true and long-term regional plan for this area was established. - 5 - General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes January 8, 2007 Ann Harley spoke regarding the application. Ms. Harley is a resident of the area who stated although the area holds a large retirement population, there are also young families living there. Ms. Harley stated that historically in Bond Head there has been an average of one house constructed per year and this has not negatively impacted the area residents. Paul-Andre Larose spoke in opposition of the application. Mr. Larose is a resident of Oshawa who frequents this area and he expressed his concerns about the increased development and depletion of agricultural lands. He cautioned the Committee to not sellout the beautiful area for a quick buck. No one spoke in support of Report PSD-001-07. Glenn Genge of D.G. Biddle & Associates, representing the applicant, advised that the applicant does not want the integrity of the community to be compromised and will continue to maintain the current development standards. Mr. Genge stated that the Greenbelt area would not be developed, and that leaving future road allowances open would not be considered because septic requirements would not permit smaller lots than are currently being proposed. Mr. Genge stated the applicant has an interest in selling five of the nine lots to individual families rather than builders or companies. Mr. Genge stated the applicant is a local resident, has the community's best interests in mind, and would be willing to discuss any concerns with community residents.
