Rutledge Resolution #C- 345 -86 Moved by Councillor Hamre, seconded by Councillor Cowman THAT the minutes of a regular meeting of Council held on Monday, April 14, 1986, be approved as corrected. "CARRIED" Delegations Mr. 0. Wollstein, 123 Lawrence Crescent, Bowmanville, representing the Bowmanville Lawn Bowling Club, presented a review of past interviews and proceedings with Council and the N.C.S.P.B. relative to their efforts to obtain a grant from the Town for the Club. The resolution to give the Club a grant was defeated. After their March 12th meeting, the Club decided that the only way they can survive is to revert the land and buildings to the Town. The Club would then lease from the Town''for $10.00 a year for 99 years. A grant in Lieu of Taxes was also discussed. However, the Club has decided to carry on this summer. Mr. Wollstein informed Council that he was before them to get their opinion on this proposal. The Club House is an attractive building and the greens are well maintained. Both would be an asset to the Town. The Club would pay the water and Hydro bills. Money is needed to purchase a new lawn roller, mower and ditch boards. The Club would appreciate Council's reconsideration of a grant. Council Minutes - 2 - April 28, 1986 Delegations Fred Cane, Architect, 250 St. George St., Suite 901, Toronto, M5R 31L8, Commissioned by L.A.C.A.C., presented Council with an inventory of old buildings located in the former Township of Darlington. The intent of the inventory is to assist L.A.C.A.C. in deciding the architectural value of certain buildings. The inventory is important as a planning tool and will allow Council to know what is out there and what standards and guidelines to set. Mr. Cane has begun a survey of the entire municipality. Part of Clarke Township is now being done. The study that was done on the Town of Bowmanville is being updated. Councillor McKnight acknowledged the presence of Mrs. Phyllis Dewell Chairperson, L.A.C.A.C. Mrs. Felicity Nelson, Community Education, John Howard Society of Durham Region, 94 Bruce St., P.O. Box 951, Oshawa, UN 7N1, informed Council that the Society is opening an office in Bowmanville at 182 Wellington St., because of the need in the area. The Society provides counselling to families, substance abusers, ex- offenders, welfare recipients. Special needs assistance and community education programs in the school system are also provided. In brief, the Society is concerned with crime prevention and in helping those persons having difficulty coping with society. Greg Osumek, R.R. 2, Bowmanville spoke in opposition to the rezoning of the lands owned by Leonora Nicholls, to provide for a group home. He questioned why the group home is being put in areas where there are no services. There are not enough restrictions on this type of zoning. Safety of the residents is being threatened by locating in this area. Mr. William Andrew, R.R. 2, Bowmanville, spoke in opposition to the Leonora Nicholls Rezoning. He noted that in Report PD- 100 -86 no mention was made of correspondence with the school board. With the number of staff proposed, will they be working 12 hour shifts. As a farmer with livestock and farm machinery, Mr. Andrew is concerned with liability to him. If approved, will the development be for Mrs. Nicholls' use only? Mr. Andrew does not feel their concerns have been addressed. Mr. Faye Adams, Box 4, Pigott Lane, Orono, spoke relative to the Mangar Rezoning. He questioned whether parts would be trucked in and removed from the vehicles at Mangar's garage or removed elsewhere and brought in. He wanted to know the regulations relative to noise and the hours of operation. He is not opposed to selling cars. Council Minutes - 3 - April 28, 1986 Delegations Ron Strike, Solicitor, Strike & Strike, 38 <King,St. W., Bowmanville, spoke on behalf of Mr. Mangar. The Planning Department has not objected to the uses proposed. An Agreement has been registered. Previous concerns have been satisfied through denial. The hours of operation are not within the legal jurisdiction of the municipality. Mr. Mangar is accepting the restrictions. He will not turn the site into a wrecking yard unless he wants to breach the zoning by -law. The Town will then be in a position to enforce the by -law. The top floor of the new addition will be used for storage and the main floor will be used for the performance of legal motor vehicle work. Communications Donald Halikowski, Solicitor, Pollit, MacGregor, Walters & Halikowski, 67 King St. E., Bowmanville, spoke on behalf of Mr. & Mrs. William Grady, who are in opposition to the Mangar proposal. The by -law does not allow Council to impose hours of operation, therefore, everyone must rely on the good will and good faith of Mr. Mangar. Mr. Mangar has been charged before with contravention of the by -laws; therefore Mr. Mangar's good faith is in doubt. Council is here to resolve the problem to the mutual benefit of everyone. Council cannot guarantee through legislation that the concerns listed will be resolved; therefore Council should think before they grant this proposal.
