Minutes
September 28, 2009
• Tracey Smith addressed the Committee stating that the intersection of Fices Road and
Taunton Road is a safety concern. She advised that she has two children and that she
must drive one of her children to a bus stop in Oshawa as the intersection, a former bus
stop, has been deemed unsafe by Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board. She
noted that her children have almost been hit on several occasions.
Bernie Roth addressed the Committee stating that he has been following staff's reports
and has been attending most of the meetings. He noted that he is passed the issue of
what he believes is an inappropriate use of lands. He made reference to the traffic
study which he has not read but questioned the timing of when the study was completed
as it was during the General Motors' summer shut down and while children were not
attending school. Mr. Roth advised that the main issue for residents is the Fices Road
and Taunton Road intersection and noted that he is amazed that there have not been
more accidents. He stated that it is very dangerous to make a right turn onto Fices
Road from Taunton Road and that there needs to be a turning lane similar to the one at
Langmaid Road. He would like to make sure that the residents have safe and
responsible access to Taunton Road.
A resident of the area addressed the Committee stating that he concurs with the
comments made by Ms. Smith and Mr. Roth. He advised that he used to be a school
bus driver for 20 years and saw so many close accidents at this location. He noted that
• he had to close the school bus doors a few times as cars would pass the bus using the
shoulder of the road. He believes the traffic study should be repeated at this time of
year to get more accurate results.
Jeff Vander Cruysen addressed Committee advising that he lives beside the church and
is very concerned regarding the traffic. He noted that he would like to protect his
property and is concerned with the proposed fencing between his property and the
church. He had the following questions pertaining to a fence: what kind of fencing
would be installed; how high would the fence be; and what grade would the fence be
built, the church's grade or his property's grade?
Mr. Vander Cruysen also expressed concerns pertaining to his well and questioned if
his well could be tested before and after construction. If there was a problem who
would be liable? He is also concerned with the assessment of his property.
Erika van Putten, Tunney Planning addressed Committee in support of the application
on behalf of the applicant. She advising that a voluntary traffic study was completed
and the Region of Durham concluded there are no traffic concerns. She noted that
there will be fencing along the existing property lines and that the kitchen is being
removed so that there will be no food preparation done on site. She advised that she
will be meeting with the Regional Health Department this week regarding water
consumption. Ms. van Putten confirmed they would be willing to work with the abutting
• property owners to resolve fence issues and she confirmed they would be willing to
repeat the traffic study.
