Mayor Hamre announced that a public meeting is being held for the purpose of
passing a by-law to stop up, close and convey part of the unopened road
allowance in Lot 27, Concession 1, former Village of Newcastle, Municipality of
Clarington.
No one addressed Council with respect to this matter.
Mayor Hamre presented Alyson and Christopher Dupuis with a Certificate and
Plaque in recognition of the work that they accomplished during Beautify
Bowmanville Clean-Up Day, an idea which they approached the Mayor about in
the fall of 1997. Alyson and Christopher presented to Mayor Hamre and
Members of Council, a Citation of Merit for the outstanding contribution to the
people and environment of Bowmanville through Council's support of Waste
Reduction Week.
Sandy Archibald, 6275 Liberty Street North, Bowmanville, LlC 3K6, thanked
Members of Council for their support of the Durham Countryside Adventure
which took place on September 13 and 14. She indicated that next year the
Durham Countryside Adventure will include the Scugog area as well as
Clarington. Mrs. Archibald presented to Mayor Hamre a token of appreciation
from the committee.
Viv Woolford, 18 Hooper Square, Bowmanville, LIC 4X7, welcomed the new
Members of Council and indicated that the residents and the Council Members
must all work together in order to make Clarington a better place to live and
work.
Mario Veltri, 1038 Pinetree Court, Oshawa, LlK IP4, requested that his son

Frank Veltri, Med-Tri Developments, 1797 Townline Road North, Oshawa,

indicated that in 1994 an application before the Committee of Adjustment was
granted with the provision that no more applications would come forth pertaining
to the same subdivision. Following approval of the Committee of Adjustment's
decision, the land deal on the subject lot fell through and Mr. Veltri did not
follow through with the original amendment. He, therefore, requested that
Council not appeal the decision of the Committee of Adjustment with respect to
Application A97/073 and A97/074 in light of the 1994 actions.
Mario Veltri, 1038 Pinetree Court, Oshawa, LIK IP4, addressed Council with
respect to Report PD-164-97. He advised Council that in approving the
Committee of Adjustment decisions, a nice variety of homes will be able to be
