3. with respect to the alignment issue, the M.T.O. officials
explained that the chosen alignment was based on detailed
review and evaluation of all technical factors and judged to
be the best alignment from a technical perspective.
Subsequent to the Hasiuk's voicing their concern, the M.T.O.
commissioned a further investigation on the Hasiuk's property
and produced the McCormick Rankin Report which confirms the
preferred alignment. The Hasiuks indicated that the alignment
would divide the farm and landlock the easterly portion of the
property. They suggested the M.T.O. should purchase the farm
or at a minimum, to purchase the landlocked portion.
4. M.T.O. officials explained the Ministry's policy of advanced
purchase which basically involved the property owner first
listing the property on the open market at market value for a
period of time. If there is no sale and a hardship situation
is established, the Ministry will then consider negotiating
wi th the property owner for the purchase of the property.
After the property is listed and the hardship is proven as
result of lack of offer to purchase because of the location of
the technicially preferred route, the Ministry will then
consider negotiating with the owner to determine whether the
whole farm or the landlocked parcel would be purchased by
M.T.O. . The Hasiuk family was previously advised of the
Ministry's policy on advanced purchase.
5. During the meeting, there was apparent disagreement among
members of the Hasiuk family. At the end, majority family
members including Mr. William Hasiuk (father and property
owner) agreed to put the property up for sale and follow
through with the M.T.O. procedures. It should be noted that

Dear Mr. Wu,
In response to the Town of Clarington motion for the
MTO and Hasiuk family to meet and discuss the routes through
the Hasiuk farm. I, Gerald Hasiuk, am of the opinion the
proposed link should follow the abandoned Hancock Road route.
This would not upset the social structure of homes,
environmentally leave the creek on Pebblestone undisturbed
and not damage virgin bush on the proposed route.
Agriculturally, the MTO route would devastate top
quaility farm land and landlock future agricultural land.
Therefore, I can not visualize a road cornering good
agricultural land when forty rods over exists an abandoned
road.
I theref~re will not
alternate, which has been
is my only logical choice
property has been offered
accept the proposed route. The
endorsed by the Town of Clarington
and the fact that the additional
nIy s bstantiates my choice.
Yours ,v"e"ry truIY;;7"P, //,/
