Jim Wintonyk, 47 Rhonda Blvd., Bowmanville, LtC 3W3, addressed Council with
respect to correspondence which has been received from Charities First Ontario
and Ontario Video Gaming Corporation. Mr. Wintonyk indicated that the
Provincial Government would like to introduce video lottery terminals in local
bars, bingo halls, etc. Local charities have earned in the neighbourhood of
$450,000 to $500,000, approximately $70,000 has been paid to the municipality in
licence fees and third party locations (ticket sellers) have received commissions of
approximately $165,000. Should the video lottery terminals be introduced,
approximately 50% of income which is now going to the community, will be lost.
When the Provincial Government in British Columbia thought of introducing
video lottery terminals, local municipalities through their strong opposition, were
able to overturn the Province's decision. Mr. Wintonyk is requesting that the
Council of the Municipality of Clarington advise the Provincial Government that
it is strongly opposed to the installation of video terminals.
Mr. Dale Hache, Area Operations Supervisor, St. John Ambulance, addressed
Council on behalf of Dan Matthews, Chairman. Mr. Hache advised that 5t. John
Ambulance - Durham Region Branch, is responsible for overseeing the training of
individuals in first aid and CPR and also the functioning of the Volunteer Brigade
Service who provide first aid coverage throughout the entire Region. Over the
past several years, they have been located at Memorial Hospital - Bowmanville.
They have, however, been informed that as of the end of May 1996, the hospital
will be requiring the space which has been used for St. John Ambulance purposes
and they will be requiring a new home. Mr. Hache requested that they be
allowed to locate in the former Fire Hall location at 132 Church Street. He
indicated they have viewed the premises above the bay area and feel that it would
be ideal for their purposes. Also, the brigade would require one to two parking
spaces for their mobile first aid post and an occasional parking space for
instructors teaching in the facility.
Evylin Stroud, 89 Little Avenue, Bowmanville, LtC lJ9, addressed Council with
respect to Report PD-60-96 (Item #3 of Report #1). Ms. Stroud indicated that
she is concerned with the lack of offstreet parking which Clarington requires for
commercial developments. She understood a speaker at the previous General
Purpose and Administration Committee meeting to say that Clarington has the
most lenient requirements in Durham Region for offstreet parking. If this is true,
she requested that our requirements be reviewed.
Evylin Stroud also addressed Council with respect to Section 2.6 of Report
PD-69-96 (Unfinished Bnsiness). In her opinion, approving Kaitlin Group's
request to allow residential development on the south side of the coastal road in
the Port of Newcastle neighbourhood is an extremely poor idea. The developers
have already been granted the exception of being allowed to build their clubhouse
south of the road and residential development will only further restrict access to
the waterfront for the public.

Lynda MacGregor, Secretary, Bondhead Community Association, addressed
Council on behalf of Doug Cronk, President, with respect to Report PD-69-96.
She indicated that the Association has strong objection to the Addendum to
Report PD-69-96 for the following reasons:
. Is it logical or rational to start requesting modifications to the recently
approved Official Plan which was established in the best interest of the
residents of the Municipality?
. Page 68 of the Claringlon Official Plan contains the definition of
Waterfront Greenways which excludes the encroaching of housing
developments such as the one proposed in the report.
. A precedent will be set for other future waterfront developments in the
Municipality and there will be problems and future complaints from
residents who reside in the condominiums adjacent to public lands where
noise, trail and public activities along the waterfront may be considered
an infringement on their privacy and lifestyle.
. Major concessions have already been made to accommodate the
development of the lands.
.
A brochure recently published by the Kaitlin Group states that "street
layout has been planned to maximize exposure to the lake." Four three-
storey condominiums along the most southerly lakefront aspect in the
corner with the most spectacular view, does not seem to support this
concept.
. Officials of the Waterfront Commission have also expressed similar
concerns with regard to the preservation and use of the waterfront
greenways.
Mrs. MacGregor requested that Council consider these points carefully and deny
the requested modifications.
Avrom Isaacs, 244 Cottingham Street, Toronto, M4V IC6, addressed Council with
respect to Report PD-69-96. Mr. Isaacs stated that jamming condominiums into
one small area creates an unhealthy atmosphere of over-crowding. He also
indicated that he would like to see a detailed plan of the proposed development.
Donna Wigmore, 244 Cottingham Street, Toronto, M4V IC6, addressed Council
with respect to Report PD-69-96. She indicated that it is difficult to piece the
plan put forward by the Kaitlin Group with the Clarington Official Plan and
suggested that perhaps a clear overlay map which would marry the two, would be
beneficial. She stated opposition to not knowing exactly where the buildings and
roads in the proposed development are going to be.

Oleh Perun, 49 Tyler Street, Hampton, LOB 110, addressed Council as Convenor
of the Zion Park Soccer Club and Vice-President, Registrar and Treasurer of the
Darlington Youth Soccer Club in opposition to the recently imposed user fees for
soccer fields. Mr. Pernn indicated that the fees for soccer are set by the executive
of the club of the start of each season and the club was unaware of the new user
fees until a meeting held on March 19, 1996. He questioned why the issue of
user fees was not included on the agenda for that meeting bnt rather the
attendees were advised verbally. Mr. Perun advised Council that the club would
be willing to pay the user fees had they been set earlier and if an improved level
of service was recognized on the fields.
Gary Majesky, Clarington Industrial Development Coalition, 15 Yorkville Drive,
Courtice, LIE 2A8, addressed Council on the decision to impose user fees on
persons and organizations that use municipal facilities, services and parks.
Mr. Majesky stated that the Clarington Industrial Development Coalition
conducted a random telephone survey of 200 residents and found the following:
.
78% were concerned about the increasing burden placed upon working
families who want to enrol their children in extracurricular activities but
find affordability is now an issue.
.
80% responded that it was unfair to levy a $3.45/child tax for soccer
registration, however, 48% responded that a $3.45 user fee applied to
each child's soccer registration was reasonable.
. 84% responded that volunteer organizations providing important life
skills and socially important activities like organized sports, should not be
subject to new user fees.
. 92% of residents felt that the permit fee being paid to the municipality
was excessIve.
