(a) Bill Humber, 15 Beech Avenue, Bowmanville, L1C 3A1 addressed
Commitlee on behalf of the Old Bowmanville Neighbourhood Association.
Mr. Humber advised that a report will be forthcoming from the Public Works
Department in the near future addressing a plan for the Old Bowmanville
Neighbourhood. One of the key elements which the Association has
requested, ie, the burying of hydro wires, has not been included in the plan
because of project costs. The Association, Iherefore requests that Council
designale the appropriate amount of funds for Ihis work to be done. The
1991 CAUSE study recommended the Old Bowmanville Neighbourhood be
designated as a Historical Area and it therefore requires special, imaginative
treatment in order 10 enhance the beauty of the neighbourhood. Mr.
Humber is requesting that the necessary resources be made available 10
facililate the completion of the projecl to bury the hydro wires, that these
resources be drawn from the Veridian Corporation funds and that the
Municipality work in conjunclion with Veridian to encourage proper tree
planting practices.
(b) Jim Faught, 75 Scugog Street, Bowmanville, L 1 C 3H9 was called but

The Clerk's Department sent public notice for the rezoning applications

before February 2, 2001 to all property owners within 120 metres of Ihe
subjecI property in accordance with the latesl municipal assessment
record. In addition, notices were also posted on Ihe sites prior to
February 2, 2001. This nolice procedure is in compliance with the
Ontario Regulalion made under the Planning Act.

and effect of this application is to rezone the subject lands from
"Holding - Urban Residential Type One ((H)R1) Zone" to permit
the establishment of a prolessional office.
George Gouldbourn, 1721 Highway #2, Court ice, L 1 E 2R5 questioned
how, when the subject lands are designated "living area" wilhin the
Durham Region Official Plan, this applicalion could possibly conform to
the policies. In his opinion this proposed use is not a "limited office". Mr.
Gouldbourn questioned the parking in the front portion of the property;
whether the sewer in Ihe rear 101 will close off the two lots from the back;
whether additional parking will be required in the future; whether houses
will still be able 10 be built on Ihe Iwo back lots and whether the area will
be residential or commercial. Mr. Gouldbourn is of Ihe opinion that this
application is premature until such time as the Courtice area study has
been completed.
Robin Purnell, 1705 Highway #2, Courtice, L 1 E 2R5 stated her
concern with the slorage of construction supplies and equipment on the
site and the possible early start up of the conslruclion equipment. Ms.

east of the subject property.
No one spoke in support of Ihe application.
Rick Gay, Richard H. Gay Holding Limited, 97 Athol Street East,
Oshawa, L 1H 1J8 advised Committee that the subject house was built
by his father in 1939. II is his intenlion to use the property as an office
for his construction company, not a construction yard. The house will
remain as is with no inlernal changes being made. Mr. Gay staled that
the parking need nol be to the front of the lot, il could be accommodated
anywhere on Ihe sile. It is his intention to use this property as an interim
office unlil such time as the overall plan for Ihe area is complele.
