October 30, 1995
George Van Dyk, Chairman, Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission introduced
Roger White of Energy Cost Management Inc., who highlighted the Boundary
Adjustment Study prepared for the Commission. Mr. White explained that the
Commission is hopeful of expanding their service area to correspond to the
municipal boundaries. In so doing, the asset price will be set at approximately
$20 million. The customers of Clarington Hydro will realize a price decrease of
2.23% and the Ontario Hydro customers will realize a price decrease of 5.6%.
Mr. White requested that Council hold a public meeting and pass the necessary
by-law, in accordance with the Power Corporation Act.
Chris Bieber, Central Ontario Electric, Ontario Hydro, Box 98, Scugog Road,
Bowmanville, LIC 3K8, addressed Council on the risks of boundary expansion.
He indicated that the expansion is a multi-million dollar decision with critical
assumptions being made by one consultant and the conclusions not being
validated. He went on to point out errors and omissions in the study and stated
that the study is based on assumptions. Mr. Bieber requested that Council not
approve the boundary expansion for the Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission.
Brad Greentree, 95 Devondale Street, Courtice, LIE 2Al and Glen Boy,
Consultant, addressed Council with respect to the Courtice Community Complex
Fundraising. Mr. Greentree advised that the Committee felt the $800,000
fundraising goal was unrealistic in these economic times and have set the goal at
$500,000. He displayed the Committee's slogan "Building Courtice" and
introduced the Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Ian Smith.
Ron Robinson, First Vice-President, OshawalDurham Home Builders'
Association, P.O. Box 26064, 206 King St. E., Oshawa, LlH lCO, advised Council
that the residential construction activity in our area is in a crises. He highlighted
initiatives taken by other municipalities in an attempt to encourage new growth
and requested that Council not increase the development charge quantum at this
time.
David Ashcroft, 63 Cedar Crest Beach Road, Group 5, Box 36, RR. #2,
Bowmanville, LIC 3K3, indicated his approval of Council deleting the "Hazard"
land designation in the draft Official Plan. He advised, however, that there is
great diversity along Cedarcrest Beach Road with respect to shoreline protection
and the potential for erosion and flooding problems. The risk factor on
Cedarcrest Beach has, in his opinion, been increased by the loss of a barrier
beach and that this beach was destroyed as one of the results of St. Marys being
allowed to construct their dock, creating a complete littoral barrier.
Harvey Thompson, 4720 Concession Road 6, RR #1, Newtonville, LOA lJO,
presented the final report of the Clarington Community Liaison Group and
requested the reactivation of the Port Granby Monitoring Committee. He stated
that it could conceivably be between 7 and 10 years before the waste is removed
from Port Granby and, without a committee in place, everything will be left up in
the air.
