BACKGROUND:
On June 11, 1979 Planning Committee considered Report No. P-78-79
(attached) dealing with the above-noted. Mr. I. Gleiberman appeared
on behalf of the applicant and requested that the matter be referred
back to staff, suggesting that the public objections to the proposed
mobile home development were based on a misunderstanding of the nature
of the proposal. As a result of Mr. Gleiberman's request, the matter
was referred back to staff for a further report.
COMMENTS:
The subject proposal has been considered by Staff and reported
on through Staff Report 78-79 as noted above. Staff examined the pro-
posal with reference to the olicies of the Durham Regional gional Official

As there may be some doubt in the public's understanding of
the proposal, staff recommend that the Planning and Development Com-
mittee consider holding a public meeting at the August 9, 1979 Committee
meeting. Staff feel that it would be appropriate for representatives
of Waverly Heights (Oshawa) Ltd. to be present at that meeting to ex-
plain the proposal and answer questions.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning and Development Committee consider holding a
public meeting on August 9, 1979 to hear public comments on the pro-
posed mobile home development by Waverly Heights (Oshawa) Ltd.
Respectfully submitted,

Regional Official Plan Policies re: Mobile Homes Park Development
8.1.2.11 - "Mobile Home park development may be permitted in Residential
area designated on Map 'A' if, in the opinion of the respective area
municipality, such development is considered desirable and compatible
with surrounding uses. "
In respect of Section 8.1.3.7 which refers to the C.M.H.C. Site
planning criteria; "Section B" of said document deals with Community
planning and suggests the following:
- "Mobile home developments will normally be located within
existing communities in areas zoned or intended for resi-
dential use. Consideration may be given to developments of
a high quality—outside urban areas where they are of sufficient
size and have adequate resources to provide their own planning
controls and amenities."
"Mobile homes proposed in locations such as scenic or recreat-
ional areas where their presence could have harmful effects
on the quality of the environment and surroundings, will only
be considered after extensive consultation with provincial or
other appropriate bodies having an interest in preservation
and conservation."
"It is hoped that individual municipalities will draft occupancy
and maintenance by-laws to ensure that developments are kept
in a good state of repair."
