8. Delegations
8.1 Laurel Kahler regarding Agenda Item 14.1, Reducing the Speed Limit in the
Northglen Community
Laurel Kahler was present via electronic means regarding Agenda Item 14.1,
reducing the Speed Limit in the Northglen Community. She explained that she
moved from Toronto to Bowmanville and quickly discovered that the speeding in
her neighbourhood was an issue. Ms. Kahler noted that she has been in contact
with Members of Council and Staff. She was provided a Traffic Study from
February 2019 which she believes it no longer valid. Ms. Kahler explained that
Staff advised her that a By-law would be required to lower the speed limit. She
noted that there are no stop signs on her street which results in excessive
speeding. Ms. Kahler believes the 50 kilometers per hour in a residential area is
too high and would like to see the speed limits lowered to 35 or 40 kilometers per
hour. She continued by requesting that speed bumps and stop signs be installed
on William Fair Drive, that there be a dedicated school bus zone, lines painted on
the road at the stop signs on Kenneth Cole Drive, and an updated Traffic
Study. Ms. Kahler concluded that, 15 months after her initial request, she has been
advised a video speed sign will be installed on William Fair Drive. She answered
questions from the Members of Council.
8.2 Laura Markovic regarding Public Access to Municipal Property east of Mearns
Avenue at Longworth Avenue (Agenda Item 13.3)
Laura Markovic was present via electronic means regarding Public Access to
Municipal Property east of Mearns Avenue at Longworth Avenue. She advised
Council that she is a local resident and expressed her concerns regarding a matter
that was brought before Council at the September 28, 2020 General Government
Committee meeting which resulted in a fence being installed at the east end of
Longworth Avenue. Ms. Markovic noted that the majority of the residents in the
area do not support the decision to install the fence and feels the decision was
made based on the request of two homeowners. She responded to the concerns
raised by some of the residents which included garbage, parties, access to the
storm water pond, trespassing and ATV's being used in the area. Ms. Markovic
explained that this area is used and maintained by many of the area residents as an
unofficial trail and they take pride in the care of this greenspace. She believes
fencing off the area will result in teenagers taking the train tracks and noted that she
has never been disturbed by any parties being held in this area. Ms. Markovic is
concerned that a decision was made basis of the opinions of two of the 22
homeowners in the area.

Carl Van Belle regarding Agenda Item 13.1 - Proposed Motion to Remove the
Greenbelt Condition on Ministerial Zoning Order for 2423 Rundle Road,
Bowmanville
Carl Van Belle was present via electronic means regarding the Proposed Motion to
Remove the Greenbelt Condition on Ministerial Zoning Order for 2423 Rundle
Road, Bowmanville. He explained that he is the owner of Van Belle's and lives
directly beside his business. Mr. Van Belle advised that they received notice to
provide comments regarding a proposed Ministerial Zoning Order for 2423 Rundle
Road, Bowmanville. He added that he then proceeded to speak to both Staff and a
Member of Council. Mr. Van Belle explained that, after speaking with Staff, he felt
his questions were answered sufficiently and did not feel the need to attend the
meeting. He continued by stating that, after the meeting, he was advised additional
amendments were added to review and include this area in the Greenbelt. Mr. Van
Belle stated that, after he received this information, he called his local Councillors
and the Mayor and was advised that this resolution was sent to Minister Steve
Clark. He was advised that this was only a review but still has concerns that 200+
properties were added in one zoning change. Mr. Van Belle expressed his concerns
with transparency and accountability and believes they were not given enough time
to digest the amendment. He added that proper notice and consultation should
have been given. Mr. Van Belle explained that a meeting of the homeowners took
place and a petition of the homeowners concerns was submitted to the

Municipality. He stated that Staff have a responsibility to consult with the property
owners and that he believes that the properties being added to the Greenbelt will
limit existing property owners. Mr. Van Belle concluded by asking for the letter to
the Minister to be recalled and for Paragraph three to be deleted.
8.4 Jim Hamilton regarding Agenda Item 13.1 - Proposed Motion to Remove the
Greenbelt Condition on Ministerial Zoning Order for 2423 Rundle Road,
Bowmanville
Jim Hamilton was present via electronic means regarding Agenda the Proposed
Motion to Remove the Greenbelt Condition on Ministerial Zoning Order for 2423
Rundle Road, Bowmanville. He explained that he is the owner of Welcome Feeds
and has been at their current location for 11 years after applying for a Zoning
By-law amendment. Mr. Hamilton is asking for Paragraph 3 to be rescinded and for
the Ministerial Zoning Order (MZO) to be resubmitted with no amendments. He
stated that he is concerned with the lack of public consultation, transparency and
public consultation and does not feel that 200+ properties should be impacted by
this MZO. Mr. Hamilton added that if the Greenbelt condition is added it will
drastically reduce the property values. He concluded by asking the Members of
Council to reconsider the MZO without any amendments. Mr. Hamilton answered
questions from the Member of Council.
8.5 Dave Bass regarding Reducing the Speed Limits Residential Streets
Dave Bass was present via electronic means regarding reducing speed limits on
residential streets. He thanked the Members of Council for allowing him to speak
as a delegation. Mr. Bass explained that he is asking for the speed limit to be
reduced on Granville Drive in Courtice. He explained that this is a newer
community and the speeding has become increasingly worse since 2014. Mr. Bass
explained that an electronic speed sign with temporarily installed but he does not
believe the results were accurate as it stated the average speed was 36 kilometers
per hour. He noted the residents in the area are concerned with speeding and they
have tried to install their own signs, which were removed. Ms. Bass explained they
have tried to speak to their neighbours and even park on the road to make people
slow down. He requested that a stop sign be installed at William Ingles Drive and
Granville Drive. Mr. Bass believes that putting up stop signs and posting a lower
speed limit will help to reduce the speed. He concluded by advising the Members of
Council that these changes will reduce speeding in the area and prevent any
accidents. Mr. Bass answered questions from the Member of Council.
