"CARRIED" DELEGATIONS David Gray, Deputy Director of Public Works, representing the Durham Region Public Works Association, presented a Trophy to Mayor John Winters, winner of the Celebrity Snow Plow Event held during the Third Annual Snow Plow Competition and Rodeo. Victor Humphrey, 10 Kresia Lane, Group 24, Box 1, R. R. #3, Bowmanville, purchased his property in the Gearing Subdivision in October of 1984. Since March of 1985, the residents have been trying to get the proper ditching signs installed. In December of 1985, a letter was sent to Ron Dupuis, Director of Public Works advising him of the incomplete work. A Report (WD -8 -86) was submitted to the General Purpose and Administration Committee on January 6, 1986. The recommendations to take the necessary actions to correct the drainage and signage problems on Kresia Lane at the cost of the developer and to draw down on the letter of credit to finance the required works, was approved by Council. On June 20th, the developer started to clear the ditch manually. In Mr. Humphrey's opinion, the work that is being done is inadequate. Mr. Humphreys asked Council to direct Mr. Ough, Director of Public Works, to take the necessary actions to have this work completed right away. Mr. J. D. Csumrik, President, Cargowall Limited, 1:Bunk Court, Bowmanville, L1C 3V7, commenced construction of his building in the Courtice Court Industrial Park approximately 4 weeks ago. Further construction will cease due to no further mortgage draws being provided, because a cloud exists which discloses that the subdivision agreement is in default and that the road system has not been assumed by the Town, therefore, no legal access exists to the lots in the subdivision. Apparently, this was due to the Developer's letters of credit being allowed to lapse by the Town and not calling on the secured letters of credit to complete whatever works remains to be completed. Mr. Csumrik requests that Council take immediate action to correct his problem. The delay is adding unnecessary cost to his building program. Council Minutes _ 3 - June 23, 1986 Delegations Joe Denny, Director, Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce, P.O. Box 415, Bowmanville, requested a grant of $800.00 to support the Chamber's project of printing a booklet about the Town of Newcastle. Mr. Denny's presentation briefly outlined the contents of the booklet. The Chamber proposes to have the booklet distributed by the end of July. Ralph S. Jones, the law office of Jones & Jones, 130 King St. E., Oshawa, on behalf of Mark Tomina, Part Lot 26, Concession 2, former Township of Darlington, requested a 3 month tabling of Mr. Tomina's application to amend the Official Plan. The Planning Department has recommended denial of the proposal to establish a restaurant and motel, on Mr. Tomina's property. Mr. Tomina would like the opportunity to get some planning assistance and to prepare a complete report, item by item, based on the merits of the proposal. Milt Dakin, Chairman, N.C.S.P.B., R.R. #6, Bowmanville, L1C 3K7, reviewed the Board's report on facility rental. Most of the hall board representatives expressed concern as to their responsibility when renting their facility. The report deals with the legal aspect of renting facilities and is submitted to protect the Town and the boards against damage action suits or other litigation that could arise as the outcome of the rental of public -owned facilities to individuals or organizations. Bonita Cunningham, Box 466, Newcastle, requested that Council address the issue of the inconsistency in the hours to run the travelling hockey team program in Bowmanville, in comparison to the hours allotted to the house league teams. Mrs. Cunningham asked that Council direct staff to re -align the booking procedure and houseclean. In her extensive report, Mrs. Cunningham did a comparison of the playing times to support her request. Jerry Freker, R.R. #6, Bowmanville, L1C 3K7, was present to support the General Purpose and Administration Committee's recommendation to deny the application of Mark Tomina to amend the Official Plan. As a member of the area he requests that Council continue to keep in mind the rural residents. He has a nuclear plant in his backyard, a 4 lane highway in his front yard, and is now being threatened with commercial enterprises on both sides. The motel /restaurant proposal is not needed or wanted by the area residents. Mr. & Mrs. John Waters, R.R. #3, Bowmanville, representing 11 area residents on the Bloor St. E. Extension, was present, protesting the installation of the new surface on Bloor St. The residents are now inundated with dust. The heavy traffic has created a washboard coating, and the heavy rains caused troughs in the road and an uneven surface. Large stones are being thrown to the side by cars and trucks travelling at high speeds. Mrs. Waters asked Council to explain why the road has become gravel and requested that the Public Works Department be directed to restore the road to the condition that existed prior to surface treatment.
