BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
On the afternoon of May 7th 1986 the subcommitee on the Bowmanville Memorial Arena
met to discuss options with respect to the replacement of the facilities.
Members of Council will recall that at the May 5th 1986 General Purpose and
Administration Committee meeting, Resolution #GPA-453-86 was approved
requesting the committee to report within one week on the sites preferred
(two) , the requested building components, capital funding and the operating
costs. Staff have attached a copy of this resolution to this report for the
information of Councillors. Staff have also attached a copy of a report
presented to the sub-committee by the Director of Community Services with
respect to the structural analysis that is currently being undertaken by
ADMIN. 41 - 86 -3-
Totten Sims Hubicki with respect to the current facilities. This work has been
undertaken immediately as it is imperative to know the status of the arena at
the earliest possible date. The recommendations provide for the funding of this
work and a report to Council or the General Purpose and Administration Committee
at the earliest opportunity.
The attached Schedule "A" attempts to answer the question as to what components
should be addressed in the facility. These components have been listed from
Figure 3-2 of the Feasibility Study as prepared by ReThink Incorporated.
At the sub-committee meeting of Wednesday, May 7th 1986, the Mayor presented
an analysis of four sites which were originally felt feasible or worth examining.
A copy of this analysis is provided for the information of Councillors.
There was considerable discussion of the merits of various locations.
It was felt that the site in the area of Highway 2 and 57 had to be eliminated
because of the cost of extending piped services to the site.
The second site to be eliminated was at the corner of Baseline Road and
Spry Avenue. This was done based on the possible acquisition cost of the
land, together with the floodplain problem that was identified through the
Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority. For the information of members
of Council staff have attached a copy of the April 7th 1986 letter to the Mayor
with respect to the comments of the Authority. We have also attached a copy
of an inter-office memorandum from Mr. Lee to Mr. Silgailis with respect to
the servicing analysis.
After these two sites were eliminated, considerable discussion
took place with respect to the merits of the two remaining sites.
Option "A"
Using the criteria identified in Figure 3-2 Option "A" involves the siting of the facility
at the Bowmanville High School and Fitness Centre. Option "A" would not require
the initial acquisition of additional land as it would only utilize land currently
owned by the School Board. There is sufficient room to site an arena and parking
on the land currently owned by the School Board.
ADMIN. 41 - 86 -4-
In discussing this site, staff were requested by the sub-committee
to obtain additional information with respect to servicing costs
and traffic counts. Staff contacted Mr. Lee who indicated in his earlier
memorandum, which is attached, that a pumping station may be necessary in
connection with the Bowmanville High School site. Mr. Lee was unable to be
specific as to what the cost might be. Mr. Lee stated that costs could vary
from a negligible amount if the High School 's pumping capacity was able
to handle the situation, to over one hundred thousand dollars, depending on
the needs, i .e. stand-by pumps , power back up, distance to the main connection, etc.
The traffic counts requested were on Highway #2, Liberty Street and Regional Road
57. Unfortunately we were not able to obtain information on Regional Road 57.
However, on Liberty Street North, the eight hour vehicle count was 2, 139,
afternoon peak between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. was 513. The morning peak
betrween 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. was 246. Highway #2 had an eight hour vehicle
count of 4, 115. The afternoon peak of 975 and a morning peak of 284 vehicles.
With respect to the road that may be required to upgrade at the school site,
it is estimated that a ball park figure would be $250.00 per meter of road built.
If access was to be gained through Wellington Street East and looped northerly
into one of the existing access point, approximately 1 ,000 feet or 300 meters
of road would be required at a minimum cost of $75,000. If the road comes north
from King Street through land which would have to be acquired, the cost would
be considerably higher.
As background to the consideration of Option "A" it should be noted that
on the evening of Thursday, May 8th 1986, Councillor Frank Stapleton, Mr.
Jan Devantier and the writer met with the Northumberland and Newcastle
Board of Education to discuss the possibility of utilizing a portion of
their school site for the development of the arena complex. A presentation
was made and thereafter questions were asked of the delegation.
Naturally the Board had a number of concerns with respect
�I
i
i
ADMIN. 41 - 86 -5-
to the relationship that might exist should they be willing to consider this
proposal. After the presentation and the answering of questions, Board members
were left to discuss the merits of the proposal . Staff were advised by a
telephone conversation with Board Officials, that subsequent to our meeting
the Board had passed the following resolutions:
"That the Board enter into negotiations with the Town of Newcastle
concerning the feasibility of constructing an Arena on the
Bowmanville High School Site."
We have asked that the Board send a copy of this resolution to the Town for our
records. It was further noted that the Operations and Finance Committee of the
Board will be holding a meeting at the Bowmanville High School on May 20th 1986
to further discuss this issue. Should the Operations and Finance committee have
any direction coming forth from that meeting, they would present same to the
full Board meeting scheduled for May 22nd 1986. As such, it can be said that
the Board is prepared to negotiate with respect to the possibility of an arena
being located adjacent to the Bowmanville High School.
Option "B"
Option "B" is the location of the facility as outlined in Figure 3-2 of the
Feasibility Study, adjacent to the Baseline Community Centre at the corner
of Baseline Road and Martin Road. Much of the land that would be acquired has
minor environment protection considerations. The Conservation Authority
has indicated in the attached letter that they would be willing to consider
an application for development. Access would be gained off of Baseline Road.
Services are available to the site. The site that would be acquired would be
approximately twenty acres and would provide the long term option of developing
high level baseball diamonds west of the arena and parking. The current owner
of the property has indicated that he is prepared to provide the land to the
Town without cost if certain density changes are granted to his property to the
north, and that he receive credit for his parkland dedication for the developable
land he is donating. Option "B" would have the arena sited to the east of the major
drainage course on the property with parking to the west between the arena and
the space reserved for ball diamonds.
i
ADMIN. 41 - 86 -6-
Operating Costs
It is difficult to estimate operating costs. Currently the Fitness Centre
operates at an approximate operating deficit of $90,000 annually and the
Bowmanville Arena has an operating deficit of approximately $40,000.
The Director of Community Services will be shortly reporting on ways of
reducing the operating deficit of the Fitness Centre. However, in comparingii
Options "A" and "B" it is felt that Option "A "would provide the best
opportunity for minimizing operating costs.
Financial Considerations
At the May 5th 1986 meeting discussion took place with respect to the funding
of the arena. The Treasurer was instructed to provide a Funding Senario
based upon the discussions that took place at the meeting and a fixed cost
of approximately $2.8 million. The financial senario, Schedule "B" attached,
also recognizes the fundraising level of $750,000 as identified by the
sub-committee. As noted on Schedule "B" the estimated contributions from
sources like Ontario Hydro and surplus land sales are estimates based on
current knowledge. Detailed discussions with Ontario Hydro and the receipt of
appraisals on the arena site and other surplus municipally owned property
will allow those figures to be refined.
I
Staff would caution that the Funding Senario outlined in the blueprint is
likely to change when additional information is obtained. However, the sub-
committee felt that it is important to set a fundraising target for those groups,
agencies and individuals interestd in contributing their talents to fundraising
activities. It will require considerable effort to raise such funds, and as such
recommendations have been made to organize fundraising activities
as soon as
possible.
Timing of the submission of the grant application to Wintario is important.
In order to be eligible for consideration for Wintario Funding, it is necessary
to submit the necessary documentation prior to May 30th. If the documents are
i
ADMIN. 41 - 86 - 7-
submitted after this date they will not be considered as eligible for
funding. Under no circumstances should the application and documentation
not be in the hands of provincial officials later than May 28th 1986.
If fundraising is successful and in accordance with the requirements of
Wintario, construction could start towards the end of 1986 and continue
through 1987 for an opening prior to the skating and hockey season in the
fall of 1987.
Respectfully submitted,
David S ohnston, M.C.I .P. ,

SUBJECT: STRUCTURAL REPORT BOWMANVILLE ARENA
A request was received from the Ministry of Labour April 15, 1986 for a
structural report on the Bowmanville Arena. A similar request was made
last September 1985 and at that time the structural report conducted by
Graham Engineering as part of the feasibility study was submitted to the
Ministry. No written response to the report was received from the
Ministry. Hence it was assumed that the building was in a safe
condition.
Generally structural reports are only required every five (5) years,
however, in discussing the status of the Bowmanville Arena with Mr. Don
Jameson, P. Eng. , Regional Engineer, Industrial Health and Safety
Branch, he indicated that another report was required prior to the
1986-87 ice season based on the Graham report submitted last fall .
The firm Totten Sims Hubicki will be conducting the structural report
and have indicated the report will be completed by the end of May at the
cost of $1,200.00 - $1.500.00.
Submitted for your information as requested.

April 7, 1986
Mayor John Winters,
Town of Newcastle,
40 Temperance Street,
Bowmanville, Ontario
LIC 3A6
Dear Sir:
Further to our recent meeting and subsequent discussion concern-
ing two possible arena sites on Baseline Road in Bowmanville, I have
looked at both sites and reviewed the Authority' s floodplain mapping
for each area, and advise as follows :
Site A - North East corner of Spry Avenue and Baseline Road
This site is flat valleyland presently in agricultural use within
the catchment area of the Bowmanville Creek. It is also floodplain
and hazard land and would be subject to .flooding of approximately
8 to 9 feet under reg.i_onaI storm conditions. While there may be some
potential to raise the building s"i"te by filling, or isolate it .pith a
berm, these measures would likely be expensive undertakings , and
require some detailed engineering investigation to show that such works
would not detrimentally affect other property owners in the vicinity.
Conversely, it may also be possible to arbitrarily reduce the flood
elevations by adopting the 100 year flood standard as opposed to the
current regional storm standard. Again, some preliminary engineering
work would be required to see if this would alleviate the flooding
potential of the site, but this kind of change in the standards should
not be viewed as a short term endeavour.
The full documentation on the approach to such a change is, on
file with the Town's Planning Department, but considering all parameters ,
this site has the lesser potential , and the Authority could not recom-
mend in its favour under the present circumstances .
Continued. . . . . . .2

ATTACHMENT #5
Letter to Mayor John Winters,
Town of Newcastle,

Page 2
Site B - North West corner of Martin and Baseline Roads
This site is characterized by a gently downward sloping plain to
the west and presently appears to be in open space use. The easterly
portion of the site is above the regional storm floodplain of the
Westside Creekandas the floodplain itself appears to result from the
backwater effect, it would probably be possible to alter the flood-
lines by filling the area, without significant effect to other
properties. With this consideration plus the fact that the Authority
has already approved the community centre structure in this locale,
I believe Authority staff could support an application for additional
construction in this vicinity.
Again, if some site grading that might alter the existing flood-
lines is being contemplated, then the Authority would require engineer-
ing evidence as to its impact on this reach of the creek, but this is
only a minor undertaking for this particular site.
If any further elaboration may be required, please so advise.
Yours truly,
W. M. Campbell ,

Of Durham
DATE: April 7, 1986
RE: Servicing of Five Potential Arena Sites
Newcastle (Bowmanville) - File: WAT-N-1-1
The following summarizes the availability of water supply and
sanitary sewer service for five potential arena sites in Newcastle
(Bowmanville) .
Since the limits of these sites have not been specifically defined,
the estimates for extension of services are only approximate.
Also, these estimates do not include the cost of connections or any
works required within the sites.
For your reference, general locations of the sites with required
sewer and watermain extensions are shown on the attached plans.
SITE 1 - SOUTHWEST CORNER OF HWY. NO. 2 AND REGIONAL ROAD 57
Water Supply
There are no existing watermains abutting this site. In order to
provide municipal water supply, it would be necessary to construct a
watermain extension on Waverly Road and on easement from Coleman
Street to Highway 2 and on Highway 2 from the C.P.R. tracks to
Regional Road 57.
Because of the high elevation of the site, it would also be
necessary to construct a booster pumping station to provide adequate
pressure.
These works would provide adequate water supply for both domestic
use and fire protection.
The estimated costs of constructing these services are as follows:
Watermain - $275,000
Booster Pumping Station - $215,000
Sanitary Sewer Servicing
i
There are no existing sanitary sewers abutting this site. In order
to provide sanitary sewer service, it would be necessary to
construct a sanitary sewer extension on easement from the existing
sanitary sewer on Waverly Road to Highway 2 and on Highway 2 from
the C.P.R. Tracks to Regional Road 57.
The estimated cost of the extension is $250,000.

SITE 2 - ADJACENT TO THE BOWMANVILLE HIGH SCHOOL
Water Supply
This site can be adequately serviced by the existing 150 mm watermain on
Liberty Street.
Sanitary Sewer Servicing
This site can be serviced by the existing 600 mm sanitary sewer on
Liberty Street.
However, because of the low elevation of this site, it would be necessary
to pump the sewage from the building to the sanitary sewer.
SITE 3 - NORTH OF BASELINE ROAD AND EAST OF SPRY AVENUE
IN THE RAVINE AT BOWMANVILLE CREEK
Water Supply
This site can be adequately serviced by the existing 300 mm watermain on
Baseline Road.
Sanitary Sewer Servicing
This site can be serviced by the existing 600 mm sanitary sewer on
Baseline Road. However, because of the low elevation of this site, it
would be necessary to pump the sewage from the building to the sanitary
sewer.
It should be noted that this site is within the flood plain.
SITE 4 - SOUTHEAST CORNER OF LIBERTY STREET AND BASELINE ROAD
Water Supply
This site can be adequately serviced by the existing 400 mm watermain on
Baseline Road.
Sanitary Sewer Servicing
This site can be serviced by the existing trunk sanitary sewers on
Liberty Street. However, due to the low elevation of the site, it would
be necessary to pump the sewage from the building to the sanitary sewer.
Alternately, this site could be serviced by the existing 900 mm sanitary
sewer on easement along Soper Creek. Since this sewer is lower than the
trunk sewers on Liberty Street, pumping would not be required. However,
it would be necessary to construct a sanitary sewer extension along Warf
Street from the building to the sanitary sewer.
The estimated cost of this extension is $30,000.

DATE: April 7, 1986
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR STAFF INPUT RE: ARENA PROPOSED SITE
BASE LINE ROAD AND MARTIN ROAD
In response to your request for input for the Arena site being Base Line
Road and Martin Road, I offer the following comments:
Advantages:
1 . Sufficient land is available. for the total sports complex including
ball diamonds as proposed by ReThink (20+ acres) .
2. The site is very accessible from all directions.
3. Situated close to major population area (Waverly Gardens) .
4. Services are available (key cost consideration) .
5. Highly visible from major highways.
6. On west side of Bowmanville hence may attract use from Courtice
area.
7. An existing facility (the Base Line Community Centre) can be
incorporated into the project saving tax dollars .
8. Site would be inexpensive to purchase compared to other sites.
9. Site is independent of high school .
Disadvantages:
1 . Well over half the site is in an E.P. zoning area (may present
problems with C.L.O.C.A. ) and would require an official plan
amendment.
2. Unable to incorporate existing indoor pool etc. (capital and
operating cost consideration) .

many seniors now walking to the Bowmanville Arena may not have means
of transportation to proposed site.
5. Possible conflict with Base Line Community Association.
Comment:
A sketch of the possible configuration of the entire complex has been
attached.
If Council wishes to pursue this site as the preferred site further
analysis and investigation is required.
Council may also wish to consider the advantages and disadvantages of
proceeding with just the arena versus a complete complex from both a
capital construction point of view and an operating point of view.
