DELEGATIONS
- 2-
April 11, 1994
Mr. Evert Vroegh, 4527 TruIls Road, Courtice, LOB 1JO, addressed Council
with respect to the Ontario Municipal Board Decision regarding Rezoning
Application DEV.90-024 (By-law 92-127) which is included' the agenda as
Correspondence Item 1 - 12. He indicated that the decision of the Board to
repeal the municipal by-law was good news to him and his neighbour and he
feels that justice has been done. The subject property of the appeal is part of
a series of eight narrow and deep lots which were originally deeded through
the Land Veterans Act. The appellants noted that they had built their homes
on these lots with the understanding that each lot would remain undivided.
Mr. Vroegh requested that Council reimburse the $125.00 appeal fee and also
that an apology be sent to all of the veterans in the area
Mr. Michael Patrick, Chairman, Economic Development Lisison Team, 3240
Old Scugog Road, Bowmanville, L1C 3K2, addressed Council with respect to
the reflecting pool and landscaping at the Bowmanville Recreation Complex
which he understands is to be included in the Infrastructure Funding Program.
The Economic Development Lisison Team has raised concerns that one-third of
the total prqject cost (amounting to approximately $250,000) will be borne by
the taxpayers. It is their understanding that the Infrastructure Program is for
the creation of long term jobs and the Economic Development Lisison Team
does not feel that the noted prqject will accomplish this. In retrospect, tens of
thousands of future tax dollars will be required for the maintenance of the
project. It is the Economic Development Liaison Team's understanding that
the Infrastructure Program is to be used for hard services such as water and
roads and requested that Council withdraw this project from the Infrastructure
Program.
Mr. Garnet Rickard, R.R. #4, Bowmanville, LlC 3K5, addressed Council with
respect to various issues regarding the Bowmanville Recreation Complex. He
indicated that the Skate '88 Committee was not advised that the new fire hall
would be located there and questioned where the entranceway to the fire hall
will be. He raised concerns over traffic entering the recreation complex at the
same time that the fire trucks must be exiting the fire hall. As far as the
Infrastructure Program which Mr. Patrick addressed. Mr. Rickard raised the
following questions:
1. What is proposed?;
2. Where did it come from?;
3. Who proposed it?;
4. Who wants it?; and
5. Where does the money come from?
Mr. Rickard indicated that if there are citizens in the municipality who wish
that this prqject go ahead, they should voluntarily form a committee and raise
the money from the community to finance the prqject.
