Stephenson who presently operates a Derelict Motor Vehicle Site and Salvage Yard in the North part of Lot 23, Cone. 1 (previous Township of Clarke), concerning the relocation of his operation to the South part of the same lot. Earlier this year, Mr. Stephenson made application for a Provisional Certificate of Approval for the existing Derelict Motor Vehicle Site. A Provisional Certificate was issued to him on June 20th, 1974. Since the existing site land had been sold, the Ministry did not impose con- ditions on Mr. Stephenson regarding the upgrading of his present operation. We understand that, from the standpoint of zoning, Mr. Stephenson's present land use is "legal non -forming." We have examined Mr. Stephenson's proposal to establish a new Derelict Motor Vehicle Site in the South part of Lot 239 Conc.l and are recomm- ending that a Provisional Certificate be issued to him. The Ministry's approval is based on the Environmental considerations that are outlined. in Ontario Regulation 824 (now under The Environmental Protection Act, 1971). You will appreciate that this legislation does not control the land use aspect of a proposal, such as Mr. Stephenson's. Signed - P. Isles, P. Eng.

This amount, together with the Province's share, has now been allocated to 35 municipalities. Thirteen million dollars will be allocated to the Province for the calendar year January 1 - December 31, 1975. 1975 allocations must be made by December 1, 1974.

C-74-1032 MAURICE & JUDITH LANDRY, �Ol DWIGHT AVENUE, OSHAWA, ONTARIO - Dated September 109, 1974 "Dear Mr. McIlroy: Reference:_ Re=zoning application byMnd_Mrs.�1�__ Newtonv_ille9_Ontario. This letter is in response to the re -zoning application made to the Town of Newcastle. This application was brought to the attention of my wife and I on September 79 1974. The property to be re -zoned is that which is situated on the South-West corner of Lot 69 Concession 3. The purpose of the re -zoning from the information which we have so far been able to obtain is that of the "re -zoning of hazardous (agricultural)" land to "open space" The reason for the re -zoning which we have to date ascertained is to allow for the development of a private enterprise. (A camping ground with approxi- mately 40 serviced campsites.) If the information above is correct then we strongly object to the allowance of a mixture of a commercial (business) enterprise with the present tranquil nature and residential (agricultural) setting. Though all legal and conservation aspects of such an application may be in complete order the very reason of its existence is alien to the present zoning and can do nothing more than hasten the complete ruination Page 6,,. (continued)......... of the present water fowl nesting area and any future town planning by introducing a precedent. I believe this precedent could in the future be drawn on many times by any person along Conc. 3 who desire a re -zoning of his property. I further believe that our objection to the above re -zoning application is in complete order when put in the light of Ontario Hydro's Environ- . mental Study for the location of their high voltage transmission towers. To quote directly from the summation report prepared for Ontario Hydro by Commonwealth Associates Inc. "Because bogs, marshes and wetlands would likely be adversely affected by selective cutting and construction activities they are largely avoided by the preferred route." This report prepared by an independent body for Ontario Hydro seems to put in writing the exact feeling of my wife and I with regards to the adverse affect that will result by any development in the Graham's Creek area, I trust that our letter will be circulated among the Town councillors and discussed at the next meeting of the Town Council."

C-74-1147 MILANI & MILANI HOLDINGS LIMITED "Dear Sirs - Page 10. Dated October 159 1974 As you know, the Bowmanville '+est Community Project was presented to the Council of the Town of Newcastle on September 3rd, 1974. At this meeting our project was referred, by Council, to the Planning Advisory Committee. Immediately following our presentation, 16 copies of the reports and supporting documentation was delivered to you for distribu- tion to this Committee and therefore we feel that this Committee should be well aware of our project. We wish to advise you that we intend to file for Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments relevant to the initial 200 acres of Bowmanville West Community and we also wish to formally place on record the follow- ing supporting information: 1) We are prepared to provide immediately the site for the Pollution Control Plant on lands owned by our Company, which will not interfere in any way with the operations of the St. Mary's Cement Company. This land is located on Part Lot 15, Conc. B.F., south of the 401. 2) Our Company is prepared to finance the construction of the Disposal Plant and Trunk sewers for the total project. It is understood that the said expenditures will be deducted from the levies due to the Town of Newcastle or that we will be re-imbursed from any governmental grants given to the Town for servicing or by any developers utilizing these services. 3) We will assist you by providing research and planning details to maximize the potential of the parklands. We will augment the Community development by contributing our fair share to the construction of a community centre which would provide facilities for year round sports activities. 4) Our Company is prepared to discuss the provision of serviced indus- trial land with the intention of maintaining controlled prices for the purpose of encouraging industries to locate within the Bowmanville area. 5) We are prepared to co-operate with the Town in the provision of further engineering or planning studies as deemed necessary. In conclusion, we would like to point out that approval of the overall Bowmanville West Community Project in principle and your total committ- ment to the initial two hundred acres would be beneficial to Bowmanville and the Region of Durham as it would provide for the expansion of an existing vibrant community having, ample open space, a variety of moderately priced housing types and much needed serviced industrial land.

On February 289 19749 a letter addressed to you, was sent by our Engi- neering Consultants9 Underwood9 McLelland andAssociates9 stating their opinion as to the capacity of the second well to service the above mentioned draft plan of subdivisions (copy attached). As yet, no reply has been received by our Consultants. On March 49 1974, Mrs. Jean Stocco wrote to you again9 stating all the relevant information and enclosing copies of letters previously sent. On July 159 1974, Mrs. Dianne Marcus again sent you a coy of the report from Underwood McLelland and Associates dated February 29, 1974, which your office had requested by telephone. In her covering letter of July 159 1974, Mrs. Marcus advised you that the Ministry of the Environ- ment had requested a deed for the lot on which the pumping station is located. A deed can not be given until the plan is registered. Mr. W. Evans has been contacted on numerous occasions9 both by telephone and by appointment in his office since July, 1974. On November 49 1974, at 9000 A.M. Mr. Evans met with myself, G.T. Black of Underwood McLelland and Associates, and our Planner, D. Marcus, in his offices. During this meeting it was decided by Mr. Evans that there was, in fact, capacity from the second well to adequately service all of our draft plan of subdivisions. Nir. Evans stated that he would immediately advise Mx. G. Howden, Planning Director, Town of Newcastle and the Ministry of the Environment of his findings. At 4:00 P.M. of the same day D. Marcus received a telephone call from Mr. Evans, who advised her, that there was in fact no capacity available9 and that the matter would be passed to "higher authorities". Page 13.

Mr. Evans had reports from the Ministry of Environment, Totten Sims & Hubicki and Mr. George Howden, Planner - Town of Newcastle. After reviewing the existing water consumption, which has been stated to be about 35 gallons per capita per day, Mr. Evans calculated the total water production from the 2 existing wells. Using a consumption figure of 80 g.p.c.d., a population in the order of 2750 could be served from the 2 existing wells. This would allow all of the existing town to connect to the water system plus approximately 80 existing vacant lots plus all areas presently with draft plan approval (which included the subject subdivision). Mr. Evans indicated that he would contact Mr. Howden to confirm some of the figures used and would contact Mr. Milani to confirm the available water for development." Signed - G.T. Black, P. Eng.

Regional Clerk - Date November 25th, 1974 The Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce wishes to place on record its apprec- iation of the arrangements made by Council. for the public dialogue cover- ing the proposed commercial development of the site on the corner of No. 2 Highway and Simpson Avenue. The Chamber also wishes to go on record as welcoming sound proposals for extending the existing retail store facilities for the Town which can do no other than improve service facilities to the whole Municipality and bring more shopping dollars into Bowmanville. However, the Chamber is concerned that the Highway No, 2/Simpson Avenue proposal is inadequate for the facilities untimately necessary to serve our ever growing population. We would respectfully draw Council's attention to the following documents relative to the original proposal submitted to the previous Municipality of the Town of Bowmanville:- (a) Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce Brief to Planning Board of September 18, 1973. Page 1%. (continued).......... (b) Report prepared for Planning Board in August 1973 by the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board and particularly its evaluation of the applicant's impact study. (c) The Official Plan of the Town of Bowmanville - particularly Page 12 and Policy Section E. In the foregoing circumstances, our Chamber has resolved as follows: (i) The construction of 69,000 sq.ft. of retail selling space on the present commercially zoned site of 4.3 acres at No.2 Highway/Simpson Avenue would be excessive to the site in question and the existing shopping facilities in the immedi- ate area. (ii) The Chamber does not favour the rezoning from High Density Residential to Commercial use of the adjacent acres to the east of the site. (iii) The Chamber considers that the Municipal Council should instruct Legal Counsel to advise of its right to protect our citizens from a premature commercial development which may be out of context with overall area planning."

Dear Sire Signed - John Pogue, President. - Dated November 27th, 1974 We are investigating a housing policy for the Durham Planning Area as directed by our Planning and Development Committee. In this connection we would like to work in conjunction with your area municipality in pre- paring such a statement. Page 18. (continued)........... The Privincial Government has recommended that a housing policy state- ment should be prepared in two phases: Phase I: a general overview of the importance of housing, with a general indication of housing needs in the Municipality. Phase 2: a more detailed analysis of housing as formulated within the context of housing, policy contained in an Official Plan, however containing specific annual housing targets. We are currently involved in the preparation of Phase I of a Housing Policy Statement. Accordingly, we axe investigating: 1: the general role that a Municipality sees itself playing in the next few years in the housing field; 2: the local capacity to utilize a broad range of Provincial and Federal housing and land assembly programs' 3: the total estimated requirements for new requirements for new rental and ownership housing as they relate to moderate and low income families, senior citizens and other individuals; 4: the municipal desire and capability to undertake non-profit and co-op housing and the ;nanagement of the current and future Ontario Housing Corporation rental limits in the Municipality; and, 5: for the natural housing market with which the Municipality is associated, housing targets could be specified for low and mod- erate income families and individuals with an indication of the specific housing programs to be utilized. We would appreciate any comments or existing policy statements from your Municipality if such information is available. If deemed necess- ary, we would be glad to meet with you regarding the above.

C-74-1353 (a) MINISTRY OF HOUSING - Dated November 229 1974 —"R—e;— Agricultilral_Code of—Practice for Ontario The Agricultural Code of Practice has been developed by the i'.Tinistry of the Environment and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food in the form of guidelines which, when followed, should provide a reasonable, fair and satisfactory way of dealing with pollution problems associated with the operation of livestock and poultry enterprises. The Agricultural Code of Practice (Page 6) suggests that when considering applications for building permits, land severences, rezoning or any non- compatible use (for example private dwellings, recreational, commercial etc.) in an agricultural area, Councils should ensure that the permitted uses will not restrict the operations of established livestock or poul- try facilities holding a Certificate of Compliance. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture have recently expressed a strong desire to have local planning agencies, Committees of Adjustment, Land Division Committees and Government agen- cies and Ministries also ensure that no severance or building permit is granted or a public facility located in close proximity to livestock and poultry operations. I am in complete agreement with the concerns of the Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and I want to strongly encourage councils, local planning agencies, Committees of Adjustment, Land Division Committees and Government agencies and Minis- tries to take this matter into consideration before approving severances or locating a public facility."
