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.

PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D. (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. . 306 G.P. & A. Minutes -7 - September 17,2001 PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D. . 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. Resolution #GPA-457 -01 .
