PUBLIC MEETING CONT'D.
Joseph Carpenter, 84 Trudeau Drive, Bowmanville, L 1 C 4K2 noted
that the development looks fine but requested the installation of a
playground for children because, in his estimation, recreational sites in
this area are inadequate.
Mike Mettman, 140 Trudeau Drive, Bowmanville, L 1C 4J4 requested
that a privacy fence be erected to define the property boundaries
because he backs on to the proposed development.
Lynn Tyers, 20 Marchwood Cres., Bowmanville, L 1 C 4J9 appeared
on behalf of some of her neighbours stating that she has initiated a
petition because the existing residents strongly oppose the high density
of this proposal as well as the additional traffic which it will generate.
She noted that the plan should be amended to decrease the number of
homes proposed on this site.
No one spoke in support of this application.
Mary Rycroft, GM Sernas & Associates Ltd, 110 Scotia Court, Unit
41, Whitby, L 1 N 8Y7 advised that the proposed development is
compatible with surrounding homes. There will be a walkway to the
school site and the request for fencing will be taken into consideration.
.
(b) Report PSD-011-01 - Rezoning Application - the purpose and
effect of the rezoning is to permit the redevelopment of the gas bar

his property backs onto the proposed development and expressed
concerns pertaining to this site being used as a truck stop for sleeping
and the illumination on the new development being a "beacon in the
nighf'.

there will be indirect lighting so that neighbouring residences will not be

(c) Report PSD-012-01 - Clarington Official Plan Application
Amendment - The proposed official plan amendment will introduce
a secondary plan entitled "Courtice King and Main Central Area
Secondary Plan" which replaces the policies which currently are
contained within Section 16.8 - "Special Policy Area F - King Street
Corridor" and Section 17.2 - "Special Policy Area NO.1 - Courtice
Main Central Area". This plan provides detailed land uses for this
area. A local central area is proposed at the intersection of
Highway NO.2 and Prestonvale Road, replacing the policies
contained under Section 16.8 and the Neighbourhood Commercial
land use designation at the southeast corner of Highway NO.2 and
Prestonvale Road.
Debbie Clarke, 177 Nonquon Road, 28th Floor, Oshawa, L 1 G 3S2
advised that Halloway Holdings have owned 15 acres of land at King and
Trulls Road since 1993. As part of the commercial zoning, a lot of time,
money and emotion have been invested. She noted that various other
shopping centers are owned by this proponent and that tenants need
flexibility. The road patterns in the proposed designs will remove this
flexibility. She introduced Lyn Townsen, Solicitor, Rick Merrill, Urban
Designer and Bryce Jordan, GM Sernas & Associates.
Lyn Townsend, 2896 South Sheridan Way, #100, Oakville, LGJ 7G9
outlined two main concerns:
.
.
The roads and parks required by the municipality take up 35% of
her clients land - this amount lies outside the Planning Act
If a tenant cannot be provided with a footprint he will go
elsewhere. The road grids and requirements of the municipality
have created too many barriers to the developer.
.
She suggested that continued dialogue could address her clients'
concerns.
Rick Merrill, 95 Sinclair Avenue, Toronto, M8Z 1 M7 displayed an
artist's rendering of the proposed concept and the developers suggested
concept. He noted that the existing plan restricts flexibility and that too
much land is taken up with the grid work. He requested that the
developer be allowed more flexibility with street patterns and that the
plan be revised to reflect today's realities.
Derek Baird, 1603 Highway #2, Courtice, L 1 E 2R7 circulated a petition
containing approximately 43 signatures of persons who oppose the
proposed Official Plan Amendment that would introduce a secondary
plan entitled "Courtice King Corridor and Main Central Area Secondary
Plan". The owners of the land affected feel that a medium density
residential designation would be detrimental to their lands and would like
to see a continuance of the growth that is currently in place and
happening. Correspondence dated August 31, 2001 from Mr. Baird
states that the petition has been signed by all the property owners of the
Highway #2 Corridor.

Morris Freedman, 7111 Dufferin Street, Thornhill, M6E 3P9 appeared
on behalf of his client, Bonnie Dunn Limited, who owns 18 acres of land
affected by this proposal. He advised that his client has already provided
5% parkland to the municipality and that, in his view, the proposed type
of houses is very difficult to sell and the high rise portion of the proposal
will create a negative impact.
Ferdinando Longo, 15 Barrington Place, Courtice, L 1E 2K9 appeared
on behalf of his parents Elizabeth and Francesco Longo, 15 Barrington
Place, Courtice, L 1 E 2K9 who own property at 1588 and 1590
Highway #2. He requested that their names be added to the petition
previously submitted by Derek Baird stating their opposition to the
proposed designation.
George Gouldburn, 1725 Highway #2, Courtice, L 1 E 2R5 advised that
the proposed designation of the Highway #2 corridor situated between
Maplefield and Courtice Road will make the properties unsell able. He
strongly objects to the proposed designation.
.
Craig Hunter on behalf of Armstrong Hunter, 9251 Yonge Street,
Suite 302, Richmond Hill, L4C 9T3 appeared on behalf of Richard H.
Gay Holdings, 1697 Highway #2, Courtice, L 1 E 2R5. He stated the
property has been in his client's family for over 5 generations and that
the proposed designation should be changed to a mixed use
designation. He objected to the specificity of the land use for the
following reasons:
Key corn er
Land use compatibility
Flexibility
Urban design
Transition and first steps.
Although his client has no specific plans presently in place for this
property, he noted that it is not his client's intention to erect a strip plaza.
Marg Gouldburn, 1721 Highway #2, Courtice, L 1 E 2R5 advised that all
properties located on Highway #2 between Courtice Road and
Prestonvale Road should have the same zoning designation.
Ferdinando Longo, 15 Barrington Place, Courtice, L 1 E 2K9,
President of the Courtice Area Ratepayers Association advised that
one aspect of the Main Central Area has been geared to high rise
apartments and he fears that these apartments and the parking lot will
invite vandalism. He requested the presence of the local police service
in the Main Central Area.
No one spoke in support of this application.
