Mrs. Muriel Krizanc, Courtice Area Community Association, 1663 Nash Road, Box 60, Courtice, LIE lS8, appeared before Council to advise on the activities of the Courtice Area Community Association (CACA). At a previous meeting of the Clarington Council, a resolution was passed wherein, upon a written commitment and resolution with the CACA and the Courtice Community Centre Fundraising Committee to raise $800,000 in a specified time frame toward a community centre, the municipality would advance seed money in the amount of $50,000 from the Courtice Complex Reserve Fund. Mrs. Krizanc advised that at its meeting held on Wednesday, June 8, 1994, the following resolution was passed unanimously by the members of the CACA in attendance: . . . Council Minutes DELEGATIONS - 2- June 13, 1994 "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. . . . Council Minutes DELEGATIONS COMMUNICATIONS - 3- June 13, 1994 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.
