"CARRIED" DELEGATIONS Dave Boyd of J. & J. Sharpening & Locksmiths, 48 King Street East, Bowmanville, was present to oppose the placement of skate sharpening machines in the Bowmanville and Darlington Arenas. In his written-otesentJation, -:Mr.- :Boyd i.ndicatdd that 20 -25% of his business would be affected and that a part -time student job would be lost. Sharpening is available six days a week during regular business hours and Thursday and Friday nights until 9:00 p.m. Sharpening at the Arenas would be Council Minutes - 2 - July 14, 1986 Delegations Continued restricted to evenings and weekends primarily. There are at present five locations in Bowmanville where skate sharpening is available. Business to other merchants in Bowmanville could be affected if the skates are not being sharpened downtown especially during hockey tournaments and figure skating competitions. Mr. Boyd asked Council to consider his concerns prior to making their final decision. Mr. & Mrs. Martin Prazienka, R. R. #5, Bowmanville, Ontario were present before Council to discuss the Committee's recommendation to deny their application for rezoning. They have owned their land in Part of Lot 10, Concession 3, former Township of Darlington for over thirty (30) years and have supported livestock for many of those years. The subdivision houses down the road are much closer to a barn that this Lot is to the Skinner's barn. Mrs. Prazienka listed some rezonings that have taken place over the past few months. The land is vacant and is of no value to them. Mr. S. McIntyre, R. R. #6, Bowmanville, Ontario announced that Mr. Doug Deardon would be speaking on behalf of the Courtice Park Association. Mr. Doug Deardon, R. R. #3, Bowmanville, Ontario, L1C 3K4 was before Council to give a progress report on the expenditure of the Town's grant to the Courtice Park Association. Courtice Park is fielding three in -house softball teams and one soccer team in Courtice colours and in complete uniforms. Now that the initial excitement of a Park organization has calmed down, their executive and members are concerned that there will not be adequate facilities to accommodate area growth. They do not have adequate facilities for:the present population within Courtice. They need soccer pitches and additional ball diamonds. They were advised that the Courtice West Public School ball diamond would be upgraded and a soccer pitch would be added. However, to date no improve- ment has been seen and they are concerned that they will not be ready for use in 1987. Mr. Deardon reviewed the current and forecasted budget up to 1990 and in his opinion, few funds are being forecasted for Parks and Recreation facilities in Courtice. In summation, the Courtice Park Association has a strong executive and a strong membership but they cannot survive without appropriate recreation facilities. They need a focal point, and require land for a community park and centre to enable area residents to have an identity and central point.
