(b) G. Gray - Report PD-291-90
Mr. D. Ibbitson, 141 Mill Street, NewcastJe, LOA lHO, indicated that he
lives opposite to the subject site and questioned the need for the rezoning
change in this residential area.
Mr. P. KosIick, 38 Manvers Road, Newcastle, LOA lHO, spoke in support
of the proposed rezoning. He stated that the dwelling is in bad need of
repair and that the owner has good ideas for its renovation.
Mr. George Britt, was present on behalf of the applicant to answer
questions of Committee. He stated that the house is badly in need of
structural repair and in order to justifY the keeping of the home the best
solution was to convert to a semi-detached dwelling. Because of the style
of the house, the applicant is planning to duplicate the front onto the rear
of the house, adding to the nature of the historic community. Mr. Britt
indicated that the lot is approximately 50% larger than is required for a
semi-detached dwelling and that parking and driveway facilities will be
available.
(a) Mr. OebnnAln. R.R.#2, Orono, LOB mo, addressed Committee in
opposition to the recommendations contained in the Addendum to Report
PD-243-90. When Mr. Ochonski appeared before Committee on
July 23, 1990 he indicated that Report PD-243-90 was in error in that it
showed a part of a road being placed in an environmentally protected
zone. This oversight has not been corrected in the Addendum to Report
PD-243-90.
(b) Mr. A. Murphy, 16 Frederick Street, BowmanviI1e, L1C 3B8, addressed
Committee in opposition to the recommendations contained in Report
PD-292-90. His opposition is based on the following criteria:
- high density residential being placed in an existing low density area;
- the proposed community centre is practically in his back yard;
- the fencing and lighting concerns have not been satisfactorily addressed;
- in order to achieve proper drainage, a great deal of grading will be
required; and
the absence of a pedestrian access to the downtown area of
Bowmanville.

(c) Mrs. Bell Wells, 6 Barbara Street, Bowmanville, L1C 2E4, addressed
Committee in opposition to the recommendations contained in Report
PD-292-90. Mrs. Wells indicated that this proposal is not in keeping with
the neighbourhood in which she purchased her home. Mrs. Wells stated
that she does not object to the Ministry of Housing's position that 25% of
new homes are to be affordable housing, however, she does not agree that
all of these homes should be located in one area, overpowering the
residential area already established. She has been advised by real estate
agents that the value of properties in the surrounding neighbourhood will
most likely be lessened if this development is to proceed. Mrs. Wells
stated that the proposal is attracting a great number of people who
presently do not reside in the Town of Newcastle and questioned the
validity of supplying such housing for non-residents of the Town.
Mrs. Wells read into the record comments from Mr. and
Mrs. Bill Stevens, her next door neighbours, in opposition to the
development.
(d) Mr. E. Banting, 20 Frederick Street, Bowmanville, LlC 2B9, an abutting
owner to the subject property, stated that he is in support of Mrs. Wells'
concerns. Mr. Banting also questioned why all of the Town's co-op
housing will be located in this one area; the absence of a sidewalk to the
downtown core; construction of a privacy fence; and the location of the
sanitary sewer for the proposa1. He stated that Section 9.1 of Report PD-
292-90 states that residents abutting the eastern limits of the property are
separated by the existing ravine, however, Mr. Banting pointed out that
this ravine belongs to the residents of Barbara Street and Frederick
Avenue.
(e) Mr Ernest Eves, 8 Barbara Street, Bowmanville, L1C 2E4, addressed
Committee in opposition to the recommendations contained in Report
PD-292-90. Mr. Eves stated that although the reduction in the number
of units has decreased by 4 since the proposal was originally submitted,
his position in the matter has not altered. He expressed his opinion that
the density is still too high in an existing single family development.
Mr. Eves also indicated concerns with the upkeep of the grounds and
buildings and the traffic flow in the area
(I) Mr. Chris Tnrnliruum. 55 JAt'Inn..n Road, BowmanviUe, LlC 2E2,
addressed Committee in opposition to the recommendations contained in
Report PD.292-90. He stated that he is the property owner most affected
by the proposal as his property is located on the north-east boundary line
of the subject property. Mr. Tomlinson has a large cedar hedge on his
boundary line of which the ownership has come into question since the
submission of the proposed development. As this hedge will provide
privacy from the development, Mr. Tomlinson is asking that it remaio as
is. Since the access road to the proposal is being constructed along his
boundary line, his property will now be located on a busy comer which it
was not at time of purchase. Also, he raised the concern that the owner
of the property has not retained the weeds during the summer months.

(g) Rev. Ed l3--lunn....born, St. Paul's Church, 190 Church Street,
Bowmanville, L1C 1'1'9, - Committee was advised by Ms. Laughlin that
Rev. Schamerhorn was unavailable to attend the meeting.
(h) Ms. Edna T oIl.,gI1m.. Box 245, Bowmanville, LlC 3Ll, addressed
Committee in support of the recommendations contained in Report
PD-292-90. Ms. Laughlin indicated that she is a single parent and is now
paying in excess of 70% of her income for housing. She stated that there
is a drastic need for housing of this type in Bowmanville for those
individuals who cannot afford rental units. She advised that the entire
project will not be subsidised but that some rents will be at full market
value. The community centre proposed for the development will not be a
party centre but more of a meeting facility for the Board of Directors and
various committees of the co-op.
(i) Ms. Jane Barkely, Ontario Ministry of Housing, 10th Floor, 777 Bay
Street, Toronto, MOO 2E5, addressed Committee in support of the
recommendations contained in Report PD-292-90. She explained to
Committee the philosophy of co-op housing and advised that it would be
managed by a Board of Directors who will be drawn from the
membership of the co-op. The proposal will be divided into four equal
parts - eighteen units will be deep core (those requiring a large amount of
subsidy), eighteen shallow core (those individuals requiring subsidy to
allow for 30% of their income to pay for housing), eighteen units non-
core (individuals requiring some level of subsidy), and eighteen full
market rent units. Ms. Barkely indicated that the Ministry of Housing
strongly supports the subject proposal. She distributed to the members of
the Committee a study which states there is no evidence that non-profit
housing causes a decrease in value among surrounding residential
properties.
G) Ms. Betty Wood, 26 Little Avenue, Bowmanville, LlC 1J6, stated that
Bowmanville is badly in need of housing of this type so that the children
of individuals requiring subsidised housing can be raised in a nice, clean
environment.
(k) Ms. Annette Bate, General Delivery, Newcastle, LOA mo, was unable to
attend the meeting, however, letters in support of the recommendations
contained in Report PD-292-90 were submitted on her behalf.
(1) Mr. V-...hAP! Boyd, 200 White Oaks Crt., Apartment 1204, Whitby,
LIP 1B8, addressed Committee in support of the recommendations
contained in Report PD-292-90. Mr. Boyd indicated that he is presently
paying 65% - 70% of his earnings for rent and has been advised that his
landlord is contemplating an increase of $125.00 per month. He would
like to become a part of a community where he can interact with other
residents and take pride in ownership.

(m) Mr. Dan Gallant, 885 Oxford Street, Apartment 420, Oshaw&, LlJ 3W3,
addressed Committee in support of the recommendations contained in
Report PD-292-90. Mr. Gallant indicated that he has had his name on a
waiting list for co-op housing for 3 1/2 years. All of the exposure that he
has had to co-op housing has indicated to him that they are well kept,
family-oriented projects. The tenants of the co-ops must meet all of the
stringent requirements of the project or they will be evicted.
(n) Mr. Chris Smith, DeYeIopment ConAllltant, 188 Main Street, Toronto,
M4E 2Wl, addressed Committee in support of the recommendations
contained in Report PD-292-90. He stated that the applicant is willing to
work with the Town and the community and has already held several
meetings with the neighbours to address their concerns.

Mr. Laurence Martin and Mr. Peter Farrell of Deloitte and Touche,
Chartered Accountants, addressed Committee with respect to the proposed
Goods and Services Tax (G.S.T.) and its implications on the Town of
Newcastle. Mr. Farrell stated that the Finance Minister has made a
commitment that municipalities will bear no greater cost under the
proposed system than under the existing Federal Sales Tax which is to be
replaced, however, there is a substantial administrative cost associated
with the transition and compliance under the G.S.T. The most significant
change for municipalities resulting from the G.S.T. is that all commercial
activities are taxable, irresepective of the type of organization which
provides the supply. As a result, many municipalities will fmd that they
are required to undertake administrative functions with which they have
little experience.
\..
The most important reason for adequately addressing the tasks involved
in implementation of the G.S.T. is the potential loss of money. Every
dollar of G.S.T. paid but not properly recorded will cost the Town
57 cents. Every dollar of taxable revenue upon which the Town does not
collect G.S.T. will cost the Town 7 cents. Every dollar of G.S.T. coded to
an exempt supply rather than a taxable supply will cost the Town
43 cents. Every purchase that was previously subject to the old Federal
Sales Tax will cost the Town money if cost savings are not secured from
the supplier. The cost to the Town as a result of the G.S.T. will be
signiflCllUt and will likely create a need for additional staff.
