Resolution #C-633-97
Moved by Councillor Dreslinski, seconded by Councillor Novak
THAT the order of the agenda be altered in order to make presentations to Sher
Leetooze and Ron Hooper at this time and to allow for consideration of Report
ADMIN-42-97 immediately following the public meeting pertaining to the closing
of Waverley Road..
"CARRIED"
Mayor Hamre presented Sher Leetooze with the 1997 Heritage Community
Recognition Pin and Certificate of Achievement in recognition of the important
work she has contributed to conserving local heritage in Ontario.
Mayor Hamre presented Ron Hooper and Al Strike, Bowmanville B.I.A., with the
Community Assist for an Urban Study Effort (CAUSE) Award. She indicated
that this is a volunteer program through the Ontario Architects' Association and
has been presented to the residents of Bowmanville in recognition of their
partnership with the Municipality in beautifying the downtown core.
Bill Stockwell, Chief Administrative Officer together with Steve Vokes, Director
of Public Works and Frank Wu, Director of Planning and Development, made a
presentation to Council with respect to the proposed Waverley Road closing
(Report ADMIN-42-97). They explained the process which has been followed to
date and the recommendations outlined in the report.
A public meeting is being held to stop up, close and authorize the sale of portions
of the road allowance of Waverley Road, generally located between a point
approximately 40.54 metres southerly of the southerly limit of the Ontario Hydro
transmission corridor and north of a point 150 metres north of the northerly limit
of Watson Drive, more specifically described as Part 1 on draft Plan of Survey 1
and Part 2 on draft Plan of Survey 2.
Valerie Dostie, RR #2, Box 11, 707 Waverley Road South, Bowmanville,
L1C 3K3, a resident of this address for the past 16 years, stated her concern that
through the whole process relating to this road closing, there has been no
mention in any reports of the southerly end of Waverley Road. She is concerned
with the effect that this proposal will have on the water supply and the decrease
of the value of their home as they are not on waterfront property. She also
questioned the effect that the noise, vibration and dust emanating from the
additional quarrying will have on her children's health. With respect to the
proposed roadway, she cited concerns over the danger of narrow roads, the
additional length of time her children will need to ride the school bus and
whether or not emergency vehicles will be able to access the area. She indicated
that her quality of life will be eroded if this proposal is approved.

Leah Houston, 137 Cedarcrest Beach Road, Bowmanville, L1C 3K3, indicated
that although a compromise has been arrived at in this situation, the youth are
still concerned with the erosion of the vital Ecosystem of the Westside Creek
Marsh. She questioned why the municipality would stop at saving 60% of the
marsh and indicated that future restoration of the area will be lengthy and
extremely expensive.
Larry Defosse, 125 Cove Road, Group 2, Box 66, Bowmanville, L1C 3K3,
indicated that the fact that the road will be used by area residents as well as pit
haulers from Blue Circle Canada Inc., will create a dangerous situation and
insurance premiums will rise. He questioned why the road needs to be closed
prior to the bridge connecting Cove Road and Cedarcrest Beach Road being
constructed.
Murray DeHaas, 83 Cedarcrest Beach Road, Bowmanville, L1C 3K3, requested
an explanation of the future policy which will be put in place allowing for the
stone crusher to be placed a minimum 150 metres from Lake Ontario and 700
metres from homes in the area. He stated that under the worst case scenario the
municipality would need to expropriate property and he questioned how long this
process may take. Mr. DeHaas also indicated his concern with wildlife in the
area and questioned the various phases of the project.
Lynda Dostie, RR #2, Box 11, 707 Waverley Road, Bowmanville, LlC 3K3,
daughter of Valerie Dostie, advised Council that she likes walking and riding her
bike on this roadway. She requested that Council leave nature alone and save the
marsh. Lynda also indicated that she does not wish to ride on the school bus for
any greater distance than she is presently doing.
David Ashcroft, 63 Cedarcrest Beach Road, Group 5, Box 36, RR #2,
Bowmanville, L1C 3K3, questioned whether Blue Circle Canada Inc., will be
under any pressure to move their stone crusher in the near future. He also
questioned the definition of a full load bridge and what capacity that bridge will
hold. Mr. Ashcroft is hoping Council will take a "no turning back" approach and
encourage the next council not to turn their back on this plan as he is willing to
work hard in order to see the plan implemented and work well.
Debbie Houston, 37 Cedarcrest Beach Road, Bowmanville, L1C 3K3, indicated
that with this term of Council coming to an end, decisions made now may not be
fair to the community. She is unsure whether Blue Circle Canada Inc. will
honour the commitments previously made by St. Marys and indicated that all
concerns previously raised have not yet been addressed. She is concerned that
Council is not giving the marsh the full value it deserves.
Mars Barrick, 147 Cove Road, Group 2, Box 66, Bowmanville, LlC 3K3,
indicated environmental concerns with this proposal and concerns with huge
construction vehicles travelling the roads. She stated that information she has
requested has not been forthcoming.
Georgina Preston, 69 Cedarcrest Beach Road, RR #2, Bowmanville, L1C 3K3,
questioned why Waverley Road needs to be closed prior to the bridge connecting
Cove Road and Cedarcrest Beach Road being built.

September 29, 1997
Christine Reid, 49 West Beach Road, Group 2, Box 26, Bowmanville, LlC 3K3,
questioned whether the policy document which was referred to during the staff
presentation, will ensure that the marsh link area will become public ownership.
Mavis Carlton, RR #2, Box 14, Box 2, Bowmanville, L1C 3K3, questioned what
assurances the municipality will have that the Central Lake Ontario Conservation
Authority will not sell the lands once they have been dedicated to them. She
noted that the report indicates that the marsh will be held in escrow and
questioned whether it will revert back to Blue Circle Canada Inc. She also
questioned why the municipality is dealing with this application so quickly when
there are still so many approvals outstanding.
David Hill, 101 Cedarcrest Beach Road, Bowmanville, L1C 3K3, advised that his
insurance company has concerns with the effect the blasting, which will now be
closer to his home, will have on his home. He indicated that he is asthmatic and
is concerned with the health aspects of this proposal. Also, as an
environmentalist, he questioned the impact the proposal will have on the fauna
and flora of the area.
Bob Morrison, 97 Cedarcrest Beach Road, Group 5, Box 25, RR #2,
Bowmanville, L1C 3K3, advised Council that he has attended nearly every
meeting relating to this proposal and has found that the process has been fair and
St. Marys has been a very good host. He indicated he does have some
environmental concerns but he is happy with the compromise as the municipality
could have been left with no marsh at all.
Maureen Remington, Box 44201, 600 Grandview Street South, Oshawa, LlH 8R5,
owner of property located at 141 Cedarcrest Beach Road, indicated that she is
satisfied with the proposal, however, she questioned whether an arborist could be
consulted to ensure proper care of the trees during construction. She thanked
Council for appointing the Waterfront Trust in order to reach a resolve of this
issue.
Ted Remington, Box 44201, 600 Grandview Street South, Oshawa, LlH 8R5,
owner of 141 Cedarcrest Beach Road, indicated his pleasure with the compromise
which has been arrived at. He thanked Council for appointing the Waterfront
Trust and indicated his hope to see a quick implementation of the plan.
Resolution #C-634-97
Moved by Councillor Novak, seconded by Councillor Hannah
THAT Report ADMIN-42-97 be received;
THAT the applications to stop up, close and convey a portion of the road
allowance known as Waverley Road to Blue Circle Canada Inc. and the proposed
dedication of a portion of the Blue Circle haul road and its extensions as a
temporary public highway be referred back to staff for consideration of the
delegations and preparation of a report for the General Purpose and

Bev Ferguson, 85 Queen Street, Bowmanville, L1C 1M5, advised Council that the
Clarington Girls' Hockey League has existed for four years and although they are
the only amateur league in the municipality who has to turn players away and
they are experiencing a struggle in order to get ice time in the municipality. She
stated that some teams have to share ice time and. Their tournament this year
will have to be held in Bewdley because of the lack of ice time available. Mrs.
Ferguson is hoping that more ice time will be made available to this league next
year.
Libby Racansky, 3200 Hancock Road, Courtice, LlE 2M1, addressed Council with
respect to the issue of fill which was brought to Clarington specifically to a site on
Solina Road by the City of Oshawa. She noted the following points:
.
According to a letter from the Ministry of Environment and Energy dated
July 11, 1997, the Solina site should not have accepted fill that contained
over 200 ppm of lead.
.
CLOCA was not aware of the fill and the owner did not have a permit to
receive any fill.
.
The City of Oshawa's computation sheet advises that the fill averages
only were, in three cases, higher than 300 ppm depositing 248.4 ton and
nine times higher than 200 ppm in lead content depositing 2027.01 ton of
fill.
· The operator of the site had led Oshawa's consultant to believe that the
property was zoned CommerciallIndustrial.
Mrs. Racansky requested that Council advise the MOEE that they should take
into account all of the above information. She stated that she agrees with
Council's resolution of January 15, 1997, that the two other sites should also be
tested and that Council should be advised of the results.
Peter and Susan Portlock, 81 Oke Road, Courtice, LlE 2V2, addressed Council
with respect to Report CD-27-97. They advised Council that a pigeon fancier has
recently moved into their neighbourhood. Since the arrival of the pigeons they
are no longer able to enjoy their backyard as the pigeons swoop around and the
sound of the fancier scraping the coop, is very unappetizing. They stated that
when the birds are let out they become disoriented and land on their homes, cars,
yard, etc. Bird droppings have been found all over their windows, driveways and
cars. They indicated that this would not be an issue if they lived in the country
on large lots. They stated that private property rights must be defended. Mr.
Portlock also advised that in speaking with real estate agents, he has been told
that the presence of the pigeon coop will affect the resale value of his home. He
feels that Report CD-27-97 should have been better researched. Mr. and Mrs.
Portlock requested that Council review the by-law to allow pigeons only on large
lots where they will not have a negative impact on surrounding neighbours.
Jim and Sandra Wilson, 242 Glenabbey Drive, Courtice, LIE 2V2, were called but
were not present.
Jeff Hurst, 83 Oke Road, Courtice, LIE 2V2, was called but was not present.

Rick Townend, 82 Oke Road, Courtice, LIE 2V2, addressed Council with respect
to Report CD-27-97. Mr. Townend advised Council that he has never disliked
birds, however, he has a concern with the decline in the neighbourhood aesthetics
since the pigeons have been brought into the area. Mr. Townend indicated that
the birds are landing on other property and attracting other birds as well. He
stated that it appears that the bird droppings in the area are proportional to the
time of the flights of the pigeons. He is bothered by the appearance of the
pigeon coop and birds swooping under eaves when returning to their coop. Mr.
Townend reiterated Mr. Portlock's concern of the depreciation in property value
because of the presence of the pigeons. He noted that the Municipal
Administrative Centre has bird guards attached to the outside and questioned
whether there was an occupancy plan for pigeon owners to put these clips on
their neighbours' homes.
Kevin Williamson, 77 Oke Road, Courtice, LIE 2V2, was called but was not
present.
Mark Ainsbury, 67 Oke Road, Courtice, LIE 2V1, addressed Council with respect
to Report CD-27-97. He indicated that these pigeons fly over the neighbourhood
at a low altitude and his children, who are afraid of the birds, will no longer use
the backyard when the pigeons are out flying. He noted health concerns related
to the bird droppings which are found in his backyard and stated that pigeons
should only be allowed in farm areas.
Karl Winterstein, Canadian Racing Pigeon Union, RR #5, Claremont, L1 Y 1A2,
addressed Council with respect to Report CD-27-97. Mr. Winterstein provided a
history of homing pigeons, stating that pigeons are the thoroughbreds of the air.
These birds have seen service in both world wars and the country has 141
decorated pigeons. This hobby receives world-wide recognition and
Mr. Winterstein requested Council to allow for it to continue in the Municipality
of Clarington.
Edward Brown, Bowmanville Racing Pigeon Club, 30 Clarke Street, Newcastle,
LIB 1C1, addressed Council with respect to Report CD-27-97. Mr. Brown
distributed to Council information regarding the history of pigeons together with
letters of support for his hobby from several of his neighbours. He advised that
the pigeon clubs work with their members and will continue to do so in order to
alleviate any problems which may arise.
Sylvio Mattacchione, representative of the Canadian Racing Pigeon Union,
1251 Scugog Road, Line 8, Port Perry, L9L 1BZ, addressed Council with respect
to Report CD-27-97. Mr. Mattacchione indicated that three million people in
Canada feed birds in their backyards and perhaps the problems being
encountered in the Courtice area stem from these birds rather than the pigeons
which are living in the neighbourhood.
Jim McInnes, 333 Kendalwood Street, Whitby, L1N 2G2, advised prior to the
meeting that he would not be in attendance.

Helen Hunt, 9 Living Court, Courtice, LIE 2V5, addressed Council with respect
to Report CD-27-97. She indicated that four years' ago, she purchased her home
beside a pigeon fancier and, although the lots are only 50' wide with a 4' chain
link fence separating them, she has never experienced any problems with the
pigeons next door. As a matter of fact, the pigeons create a major source of
entertainment for her and her family. Two homes which have been newly built in
the area sold quickly and for full price although there is a pigeon coop in the
immediate area.
Joe Martire, 2185 Hancock Road, Courtice, LIE 2M3, addressed Council with
respect to Report CD-27-97. He indicated that he has been a pigeon fancier
since 1972 and a real estate agent since 1983. He has completed many appraisals
on properties and stated that the presence of a pigeon loft in an area will not
affect resale value of property. Appraisals are based only on the general area and
the condition of the home.
Dr. H. Yassein, 4 Craig Court, Bowmanville, L1C 4H6, addressed Council with
respect to Report CD-27-97. Dr. Yassein indicated that the pigeon fancier who
has recently moved into Courtice spoke to his neighbours prior to moving the
pigeon loft in and met no resistance. Shortly after the arrival of the loft, the
petition started. Dr. Yassein indicated that the problems the residents are having
need to be clearly defined. He requested that Council adopt the
recommendations contained in Report CD-27-97 and allow the pigeon clubs to
address each specific problem as it arises and not pass a blanket solution which
will affect the entire municipality.

CD-27-97 at this time.
