"WHEREAS the Courtice Area Community Association has been
involved in promoting and development of a community centre and to
this end has been liaising with the Clarington Council; and
WHEREAS a study recently completed by Don Lamont and Associates
perceives the amount of Eight Hundred Thousand dollars ($800,000.00)
to be a realistic fund raising target for the Courtice Community;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED TIlAT the Courtice Area
Community Association commits itself and its members to involve the
people of Courtice and the surrounding areas in a concerted fundraising
campaign with a goal to raise Eight Hundred Thousand dollars
($800,000.00) as its contribution to the capital cost of building said
community centre. To this end, a campaign will be formally launched in
October of 1994 and is anticipated to have a duration of one year. At
the end of that time our resolve is to have in hand, cash and pledges for
the amount hereinbefore stated."
Mrs. E. Walsh, 1970 Taunton Road East, Hampton, LOB IJO, and
Mrs. W. Penchoff, 210 Starr Avenue, Whitby, LlN 3E3, addressed Council with
respect to the design criteria for Aked Road between Lots 4 and 5, Concession 8,
former Township of Darlington. This presentation is made to Council further to
the presentation of Mr. Walsh and Mr. Penchoff on May 30, 1994, wherein they
requested that the construction of the road be the absolute minimum standard
relating to the following:
( a) The grade of the road be 8% rather than 6%;
(b) The roadway be designed for a 50 km/h speed limit rather than 80 km/h;
and
(c) The backslope be hydroseeded rather than sodded.
In conversation with the Director of Public Works, Mrs. Walsh and Mrs. Penchoff
have been advised that the recommendation to Council is that the maximum
grade of the road be 8% and that the backslope be hydroseeded rather than
sodded, however, that the 80 km/h design speed be maintained. As this road is a
dead end and, at 1,512 feet, is too short for anyone to drive 80 km/h, Mrs. Walsh
and Mrs. Penchoff requested Council's approval of the 50 km/h design speed.

Ms. Leah Houston, 137 Cedar Crest Beach Road, Bowmanville, addressed
Council requesting protection of the West Side Creek Marsh. Ms. Houston
stated that wetlands are a vital part of the ecosystem. They act as a spawning and
resting area for a great variety of fish and wildlife. Marshes naturally filter the
water and because West Side Creek Marsh opens up to Lake Ontario, it naturally
helps clean this polluted lake. Marshes are classed from one to seven with one
being the best and seven the least important. They obtain their distinction by the
amount of life they support. Ms. Houston indicated that the West Side Creek
Marsh has obtained a number two rating and is the only second class marsh from
Burlington to Trenton that has not been protected. The Town's Draft Official
Plan states that the main use of the area shall be for aggregate extraction and Ms.
Houston requested that Council amend the section relating to the West Side
Creek Marsh to read "Designation for new aggregate extraction shall not be
permitted."
Ms. Winnie Wong, on behalf of the students of Ormiston Public School, 20 Forest
Heights Street, Whitby, LlR lT5, advised prior to the meeting that she would not
be in attendance.
