Mark Jackman, Curator, Clarke Museum & Archives, advised that Brian Jung had
not yet arrived at the Council meeting.
Resolution #C-134-98

"CARRIED"
Councillor Schell made a declaration of interest with respect to the delegation of
Wilson Little; vacated his chair and refrained from discussion on the delegation.
Conncillor Schell indicated that he is an employee of Blue Circle Canada Inc.
Mr. Wilson Little, Blue Circle Canada Inc., Bowmanville Engineering Office,
410 Waverley Road, Bowmanville, L1C 3K3, appeared before Council and
requested an amendment to a condition contained within Blue Circle's Site Plan
Agreement. He indicated that Blue Circle entered into a Site Plan Agreement
with the Municipality in 1990. One of the conditions of approval was that a
landscaped berm or barrier fence was to be constructed along the east side of the
dock in order to mitigate visual and noise impacts. This berm should have been
constructed within five years of the date of the execution of the agreement,
May 23, 1995. In the spring of 1995, officials appeared before Council and
requested a three-year extension since they had not yet received approvals for the
dock expansion. An extension to May of 1998 was granted by Council. Mr. Little
advised that the company is still in a transitional period from the Blue Circle
takeover and that a furthcr extension would give them the proper time to resolve
some concerns associated with moving the overburden necessary for the
landscaped berm. He, therefore, requested that Council approve a one-year
extension to May 1999.
Don Welsh, 4280 Mearns Avenue, Bowmanville, LIC 3K5, advised prior to the
meeting that he would be addressing the issue of the Older Adults' Centre at a
later meeting.
Kevin Ashe, Vice President, Marketing & Sales, Mosey & Mosey Benefit Plan
Consultants, First Pickering Place, 1550 Kingston Road, Suite 211, Pickering,
LlV 1C3, addressed Council in support of the recommendations contained in
Report TR-1O-98. Mr. Ashe provided Council with a background of his personal
experience and that of the company. He indicated that the cost savings outlined
in Report TR-1O-98 will be lost in the short term should Council delay this
decision.
Mark Quinn, Buffet Taylor & Associates Ltd., 142 Byron Street North, Whitby,
L1N 4M9, addressed Council with respect to Report TR-1O-98. He stated that he
is concerned with the information contained in the report and the fact that the
municipality's service has decreased since his hiring. He provided Council with
the background of himself and his company and indicated that since the General
Purpose and Administration Committee meeting, he has met with the Treasurer
to discuss her concerns. He apologizes for not recognizing the sevcrity of the
concerns and he wishes he had been more aggressive in looking after the Town's
benefit plan. He requested another opportunity to provide this service to the
Municipality.

David Lawson, 111 Cedar Crest Beach, Box 44, Bowmanville, LlC 3K3, addressed
Council with respect to Report PD-12-98 (Official Plan and Zoning By-law
Amendment Applications submitted by Paula Lishman International).
Mr. Lawson asked the following questions of Council:
.
How many Councillors have taken the time to contact a representative
from the Ministry of Natural Resources to receive their comments
regarding Report PD-12-98?
.
How many Councillors have a copy of the Durham Region's Sport
Fishing Study which has many comments and suggestions related to the
fisheries and watersheds in Durham Region?
.
Why is an Environmental Impact Study not being conducted for this
application?
.
Is Council aware that a community fisheries involvement project
application for the sum of $15,000 has been submitted to the Ministry of
Natural Resources for rehabilitation of lower Wilmot Creek in the nature
area that our municipality is hoping to create?
.
How many tax dollars is the municipality putting into this area?
.
Has the municipality considered the impact a fur factory in thc
headwaters of Wilmot Creek could have on the nature area?
. Why was the Wilmot Creek Nature Area Committee not informed of this
application?
. Would it not be prudent for the municipality to inform the consultants
who prepared the Environmental Management Study for the nature area
so that they may revise their report?
Mr. Lawson feels strongly that before any decisions are made regarding this
application, an Environmental Impact Study be undertaken and requested that
Council revisit the decision not to acquire such a study.
Michael Melling, Davies, Howe Partners, Suite 300, 166 Pearl Street, Toronto,
M5H 1L3, addressed Council with respect to Report PD-12-98 (Official Plan and
Zoning By-law Amendment Applications submitted by Paula Lishman
International) on behalf of Linda and Herb Gasser and Frances and Bill Wood.
Mr. Melling indicated that his clients have numerons questions regarding the
Lishman proposal related to the lack of an Environmental Impact Study, the need
for peer review of the applicants' other studies and the importance of requiring
that the applicants file a site plan control application, On behalf of his clients, he
requested that Council:

He indicated that his clients see that the development is not only significant in
economic terms, it has serious planning and environmental impacts associated
with it. They ask that these impacts be appropriately studied.
Janie Dodds, 3917 Clarke 8th Concession, Orono, LOB 1MO, provided Council
with an update of the activities that LACAC has been undertaking. She indicated
that they are planning on becoming very active in public awareness and their
annual house tours have been of great assistance in this area. Also, the
Committee has been actively undertaking book research and they are now
working on the preparation of a book of historical buildings in the Bowmanville
area. She indicated that their membership decreased from 14 to 10 members and
requested that Council amend the by-law to provide for the Committee to consist
of additional members.
