Pursuant to the Planning Act, the Council of the Municipality of
Clarington, through its General Purpose and Administration Committee,
is holding a Public Meeting for the following applications:
(a) Rezoning and Subdivision Applications
Applicant: Veltri and Son Limited
(b) Rezoning Application
Applicant: Ontario Independent Crematoriums Ltd.
The Planning Services Department sent public notice for the rezoning
and subdivision applications, by first class mail on or before
December 18, 2002 to all property owners within 120 metres of the
subject properties in accordance with the latest municipal assessment
record. Public notices were also posted on the properties in question on
or before December 18, 2002. The notice procedure followed is in
compliance with the Ontario Regulations made under the Planning Act.
(a) Report PSD-001-03 - Veltri and Son Limited - the purpose and effect
of the applications is to rezone the property to permit the
development of 39 lots for single family detached dwellings.
Sandy Lyall, 37 Jones Avenue, Newtonville, LOA 1JO referred to his
letter of December 20, 2002 addressed to the Municipal Clerk which
contained approximately 14 signatures of persons opposed to this
proposal on the basis that it is premature and the area lacks the following
services:
municipal services
police protection
recreation services
transportation
fire services.
He stated that septic beds can create problems and that the school in the
area has already been vandalized. He noted that Jones Avenue, if it
becomes a main thoroughfare will create problems and he suggested
that a road be built south ofthe school.
Steven Fuller, 4509 Highway 2, Newtonville, LOA 1JO concurred with
the comments made by Mr. Lyall noting that the approval of this
subdivision would double the population of New1onville. He stated that
this subdivision is not needed in "no man's land".
Ray Tompkins, 32 Jones Avenue, Newtonville, LOA 1JO, a 40 year
resident of this area, concurred with the comments made by Messrs.
Lyall and Fuller. He noted that it is already a problem for vehicles to
access his 89 year old mother's property because of snow drifts.
No one spoke in support of this application.
