Mr. PatrickReynold.s, Senior Transportation Planner, Ministry of Transportation,
advised Council that the Ministry is carrying out a study to determine the
location and right-of-way requirements for the proposed Highway 407, from
Highway 48 in Markham easterly to Highway 35/115 in the Town of Newcstle
(a distance of approximately 60 km). As proposed, the highway will be an
ultimate 10 lane freeway from Highway 48 easterly to the vicinity of Durham
Road 34 (Courtice Road) in the Town of Newcastle and the remaining section
to Highway 35/115 will be planned as an 8 lane freeway. A transit right-of-
way will also be planned as part of the Highway 48 to Durham Road 34 Section.
Mr. Reynolds introduced Mr. Ray Smith, an environmentalist with Parker
Consultants Limited. He described the land use and environmental constraints
which were taken into consideration when planning the proposed routes for the
highway. No route has been proposed through a built-up area of a hamlet,
through a conservation area, through the Mosport Park area, Cedar Park or
Kedron Dells Agricultural considerations, stream courses and scientifIc interest
areas were also taken into consideration. Four preliminary route alternatives
were described to Council and they will be now presented to the public for
review and comment prior to selecting those to be carried forward for further
consideration. Following the public information centres, the alternative routes
to be carried forward will be determined, the environmental and engineering
aspects of these routes will be assessed in detail leading to comparative
evaluations and a selection of a preferred route. The preferred route will be
presented to the public at a series of information centres at the end of next year.
This study is subject to the full requirements of the Environmental Assessment
Act and an Environmental Assessment Report will be submitted to the Ministry
of the Environment on completion of the study.

Mrs. Mavis Carlton, 119 Cove Road, Bowmanville, LIC 3K3, addressed Council
with respect to the planning for the Bowmanville Lakefront. Mrs. Carlton can
remember when the Bowmanville Lakefront was a thriving summer colony at
both the east and west sides of the barbour as well as at Cedarcrest.
Unfortunately, she says this has been allowed to detoriate. She is determined
to turn the lakefront into its former state. She urges Council to be aggressive
and fIrm in its stand on the St. Marys operation at a time when the Town is
working hard at attracting other development. Concerns are being expressed
by residents from the Waverley Road area and from Wtlmot Creek about the
effects of dust, noise and blasting. Another matter of interest is property
assessment. In connection with a property assessment case, the Ontario
Municipal Board ruled that it is satisfIed that the St. Marys operation creates
a nuisance. She stated that any assistance the Town might lend in resolving
the difficulties with St. Marys Cement operation, would be most appreciated.
Mr. Steven Spence, Burketon, advised Council that he has been a resident of
Burketon for eight years and over the last little while he has experienced
difficulty with people in the hamlet allowing their dogs to rnn at large. He
indicated that he has been accosted by dogs on two occasions and he is
concerned for the safety of small children in the hamlet. Mr. Spence indicated
that the Animal Control staff have been out in the area over the last few days
in an attempt to rectifY the problem. He asked Council for a solution to the
problem and suggested that perhaps information could be delivered to households
advising of the Town's By-laws with respect to the keeping of dogs.
Mr. John Lindeburg, General Delivery, Hampton, LOB lJO, spoke to Council
in opposition to the recommendations contained in Item #40 of Report # 1
(Addendum to Report WD-21-90). Mr. Lindeburg stated that the additional
traffic generated because of the proposed bridge will adversely affect the area.
Mr. Bill Clarke, Chairman of the Oshawa/Newcastle Branch of St. John's
Ambulance, 64 Colborne St. E., Oshawa, LIG lL9, addressed Council with
respect to the amount of the grant which was received from the Town of
Newcastle. He indicated that over the past years the Town has increased their
grant from $1,000 to $2,000, however, this year the $2,000 grant has been cut
to $500. St. John's Ambulance has had to move its training post and now have
to pay for this accommodation and Mr. Clarke requested that their request for
a $2,000 grant be reconsidered.
Mr. Mark Frayne, Kelly, Zuly, Greenway, Bruce, 114 King St. E., P.O. Box 886,
Oshawa, LIH 7Nl, addressed Council on behalf of Mr. John Vanginhoven in
opposition to the recommendations contained in Item # 18 of Report # 1 (Report
PD-157-90). Mr. Frayne indicated that Mr. Vanginhoven had purchased the
subject property in 1987 and applied for and received a minor variance and a
consent to sever on the property. The property was then to be sold, however,
the deal was not completed and the Land Division Committee Decision lapsed.
A new application was f1led with the Land Division Committee who again gave
consent for the severance. Mr. Frayne stated that legally the land conforms to
the Regional Official Plan and the Town's By-laws, the applicant has received

Mr. Irwin Hamilton, 99 Church Street, Bowmanville, LIC IT3, addressed
Council with respect to the recommendations contained in Item #4 of Report
#1 (Report PD-130-90). Mr. Hamilton reiterated the concerns he raised at the
Public Hearing held on April 23, 1990 and requested that a report from the
Ambulance Service be included in the list of reports Council is requesting in
conjunction with this application. He stated that the third floor of the building
is obviously occupied and asked that the Town ensure that this is inspected as
part of the reports which are requested At the Public Hearing held on
April 23, 1990, it was stated that Mrs. Forrest was unaware at the time of her
purchase that the zoning did not conform to the use of this property. Mr.
Hamilton submitted two letters dated March 1988 which, in his opinion, shows
that her solicitor was aware that the Town could not give complete zoning
clearance for the property at that time.
Mr. Ken Fitzgerald, Box 155, Hampton, LOB IJO, addressed Council in support
of the recommendations contained in Item #40 of Report #1 (Addendum to
Report WD-21-90). He stated that those residents in opposition to the report

in the area are properly supervised, the vehicular traffic should not affect their
safety.

on behalf of approximately 65 residents in the WhiteclilTe Crt. area with respect

month in order to prepare a submission to Council.
