homes being designated under the Ontario Heritage Act:

Larry Nicholls, 8 George Reynolds Drive, Courtice, LlE lZ7, President of the
Darlington Youth Soccer Club, addressed Council pertaining to User Fees which
have been set for the use of soccer fields. He indicated that the mandate of the
Soccer Club is to provide soccer for all children in Clarington and children are
not rejected by the Club for lack of funds. The soccer club will not allow soccer
to become an exclusive sport available only to those children whose parents are
financially well positioned. Mr. Nicholls requested that Council revisit their
January 29, 1996 decision and reconsider the social costs that will be part and
parcel of user fees for childrens' use of fields.
Gladys Cockerham, Cockerham's Florist, 33 King Street West, Bowmanville,
LIC lR2, thanked Council for their ongoing continued support in regard to street
vendors. She requested, however, that the by-law regarding street vendors be
amended in order to make it stricter and more enforceable. She indicated that
the florists of Clarington are tired of street vendors setting up temporary shops
illegally on municipal and private property without vendors' permits, municipal
licences and with little or no respect for local business, private property owners,
by-law enforcement, local police and the community. Ms. Cockerham made
several suggestions which she would like to see included in the municipality's
by-law.

Michael Hackenberger, Bowmanville Zoo, 340 King Street East, Bowmanville,
LlC 3K5, addressed Council with respect to Application OPA-89-057/N submitted
by Schickedanz Brothers which is addressed through Report PD-55-96 (Item #4
of Report #1). Mr. Hackenberger advised Council of the uniqueness of a private
urban zoo - to his knowledge there is only one other situation like that enjoyed in
Bowmanville and this exists in Hamburg, Germany. There have been other
private urban zoos in the past, however, they have all been forced to close due to
encroaching development. He fears that this may be the case should the
application put forward by Schickedanz Brothers be allowed to proceed. He
stated that Bowmanville Zoo is not opposed to development, however, we must
safeguard and protect the zoo site. Accordingly, he requested that the
municipality encourage dialogue between Bowmanville Zoo and Schickedanz
Brothers prior to the approval of Application OPA-89057/N.
Don Welsh, 4280 Mearns Avenue, RR #4, Bowmanville, LIC 3K5, addressed
Council with respect to the budget put forth by the Clarington Older Adults
Committee. He submitted a budget dated March 4, 1996 and requested that this
budget replace the original application which was submitted in November 1995.
Conrad Marini, Mican Development, 241 Hanlan Road, Unit 4, Woodbridge,
L4L 3R7, was called but was not present.
Ron Collis, Clarington Ad Hoc Committee to Assist Youth, provided Council
with a status report on the Committee's final report. Mr. Collis thanked the
public for their input and indicated that in the past months, 5,000 surveys have
been distributed to students throughout the municipality. The Committee has
met with businesses, youth groups and schools and have received letters, calls and
information from other municipalities. Because of the large volume of surveys
which are still to be input in order to complete the final report, Mr. Collis
requested an extension of the deadline for submission of the report to June 24,
1996 (see correspondence item D - 1 dated April 22, 1996 from Diane Higgs,
Secretary/Member).
Richard Mostert, 1489 Lambs Road, RR #4, Bowmanville, LlC 3K5, addressed
Council with respect to Application OPA-89057/N which is included in Report
PD-55-96 (Item #4 of Report #1). Mr. Mostert's property is located adjacent to
the Schickedanz property and he is concerned over his water source, street
lighting, prevailing westerly winds, vandalism and theft, traffic flow and the
maintenance of the greenbelt between residential and agricultural lands. He
stated that he is not opposed to progress but is against development which may
endanger his greenhouse business.
Rick Stockman, Treasurer, Clarington Minor Hockey Association, apologized to
Council for missing the notice which was placed in the local newspapers
requesting grant applications. He stated that the Minor Hockey Association has
always received a small grant from the Municipality to help offset costs and he
requested a grant in the amount of $3,000 for 1996.
