W&JECT:
JUNIOR ARCHITECT'S CONTEST, BOWMANVILLE CREEK
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1 . That Administrator's report ADMIN. 6 - 86 be received;
2. That Mayor's report 1 - 86 be tabled until such time as members
of Council have had an opportunity to review the master plan prepared by
the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority for this area; and
the consultant, Rethink have submitted their report on the Arena Feasibility Study.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
At the regularly scheduled meeting of January 13th 1986, the Mayor presented
a report with respect to sponsoring a junior architect's contest for a
design,of the Bowmanville Creek from Highway #2 to Baseline Road.
The matter was referred to staff for a report. Upon reviewing the current
circumstances it would appear that any consideration of a junior architect's
contest may be premature pending the receipt and consideration of the
Arena Feasibility Study_ This study is likely to be available in
February of this year and was to specifically address the question of
Arena location.
ADMIN. 6 - 86 -2-
In addition, members of Council not familiar with the C.L.O.C.A.
report may wish to review a copy of the documents prepared by the Central
Lake Ontario Conservation Authority with respect to valleylands. A copy of
the report is available in the Councillors ' library.
Thereafter Council could more properly assess the value of a junior architect's
contest. If after reviewing the above noted documents, Council wished to
consider such a, contest staff would recommend that it be considered only if
the Conservation Authority has no objection. It would not seem appropriate
to proceed with a contest to design any proposals without the full
support of the Conservation Authority, given that the Conservation Authority
owns lands in the area and has regulatory control over the valley lands.
In the same way that it is perhaps premature to discuss a junior architect's
contest, it is also premature to discuss the possible cost implication
to the project based on the amount of information available through the
sketch which was attached to Mayor's report 1 - 86.

proposal .
I believe that it would be appropriate for Council to support this
contest.
