September 16, 1991
Mrs. Elva Reid addressed Council on behalf of Save the Ganaraska Again
(SAGA). Because of the fact that the current Official Plan provides no
coverage for rural areas such as the Headwaters of the Ganaraska Region,
SAGA believes a more detailed and comprehensive plan is certainly due.
SAGA looks forward to the opportunity of working with Planning Staff and
Council in the process of developing a new Official Plan, particularly in the
following areas:
1. The challenge of developing appropriate strategies for the protection
of the Headwaters area of the Ganaraska River; and
2. The Regional Node designation for the Oshawa/Kirby Ski Club area
in the Durham Ofllcial Plan.
SAGA is concerned that intensifIcation of use in this vulnerable part of the
Headwaters must wait for the environmental studies and then be decided
upon with great care and sensitivity.
Mr. Kevin Tunney, Tunney Planning Inc., 340 Byron Street South, Suite
200, Whitby, LIN 4P8, addressed Council on behalf of Stolp Homes
(Newcastle) Developers Inc., and Northbrook Developers Group.
With respect to the Stolp Homes application, Mr. Tunney indicated that he
has worked with the various municipal departments and outside agencies in
refming the proposals over a period of three years. On July 3, 1989, Council
authorized staff to process Stolp Homes' applications. Staff Report
PD-210-91 does not address this fact, let alone the fact that the applications
have already been delayed over two years. Stolp Homes' applications were
accompanied by support documentation which allow staff to fully evaluate
the merits of the subdivision in the context of the neighbourhood plan which
is consistent with neighbourhood plans for the balance of the Courtice area
The lands owned by Stolp Homes are fully serviceable by existing services.
The sanitary sewers presently servicing the bulk of Courtice traverse the site.
Mr. Tunney stated that the Stolp Homes' applications merit consideration
beyond that suggested in Staff Report PD-210-91 and, therefore, respectfully
requested that the recommendations set out on Page 7 of the report, be
modifIed by adding a sixth item as follows:
"Development applications submitted prior to the review of the Official Plan
of the Region of Durham which were accompanied by neighbourhood
development plans will continue to be processed.'
Mr. Tunney also stated that on September 15, 1989, applications were fIled
with the Town and Region to amend their respective Official Plans. The
applications were accompanied by a neighbourhood plan and land use
structure plan. The developers group consists of landowners who have
owned and worked their lands for many years as well as developers who
have held sites for at least four years. The subject lands have been
designated since 1976 as an area for future development.

The developers group has contributed $385,000 to the oversizing of the
sanitary sewers required to service these lands. Therefore, he respectfully
requests that Council take into consideration the foregoing and give priority
to the processing of plans in this area of north Bowmanville. He stated that
this will maintain the orderly sequential development pattern of Bowmanville
that has been envisioned for the last 15 years.
Mrs. Ruth Hinkley, Government Liaison, Wilmot Creek Homeowners
Association, 1 Wheelhouse Drive, Unit 5, Newcastle, LIB IB9, advised
Council that the introductory discussion paper on a new Official Plan fOl' the
Town of Newcastle, has been reviewed by members of the Board of the
Wilmot Creek Homeowners Association and they believe that the information
in the discussion paper supports the recommendation by Town Staff that a
comprehensive review of the Town of Newcastle Official Plan is not only
warranted but should commence immediately. It is their opinion that the
necessity for the review relates to the fact that the Town of Newcastle
Official Plan should reflect the true diversity of the Town within the
Durham Region and the Durham Regional Official Plan. Of interest to their
community will be the inclusion in the Town Plan of designations and
policies for the rural areas including Wilmot Creek. They are interested too
in the commercial development of the Town, the growth pressures,
transportation, and the changing age structure of the population. Of
particular interest to Wilmot Creek residents are Provincial Policy initiatives.
Mr. Ralph Bouwmeester, Fairo Development Management Corp.,
30 Wertheim Court (Commerce Gardens), Suite 9, Richmond Hill, Ontario,
L4B 1B9, advised Council that he feels the review of the Town of Newcastle
Official Plan is appropriate, however, he does not agree with halting
development applications within the extended urhan boundary areas. Mr.
Bouwmeester stated that this will add twice the amount of time for
approvals to be received when in his opinion, both processes could be dove-
tailed. He stated that the Official Plan review process and the development
application process can be dealt with concurrently.
Mr. Mario Veltri, 68 King Street East, Bowmanville, LIC 3X2, advised
Council that he had purchased a parcel of land at Concession 3, Lot 27, five
or six years ago which was designated L-6 under the Official Plan Review.
After purchasing this property he was advised by Town Staff that Estate
Residential Development was not desired for this area but that residential
development would be more appropriate in four to five years. Mr . Veltri
does not agree with the development for this property being haulted.
Mr. Bill Manson, W.D.M. Consultants, 20 Clematis Road, Willowdale,
M2J 4X2 addressed Council on behalf of William Tonno Construction
Limited. Mr. Manson stated that he is pleased that applications will
continue to be processed in the existing areas, and suggested that Council
give consideration for the Town to engage one or two staff members or a
consultant to deal with applications in the expansion areas during the time
that the OffICial Plan review is being held. He also stated that he believes
that the development industry would be pleased to help cover costs for this
arrangement.

Mr. Manson stated that Tonno Construction Limited is the owner of 160
acres of land north of Courtice which is isolated from all other expansion
and indicated that this land should not be lumped in with these areas. He
indicated that an application for 53 of the 160 acres was withdrawn because
the developer wanted to gain benefit from services presently existing but did
not want to leap-frog, in order to ensure compact development.
Mr. AI Strike, 38 King Street West, Bowmanville, LlC lR2, stated that the
"Items for Discussion" listed on Page 2 of the Introductory Discussion Paper
for the new OffIcial Plan for the Town of Newcastle, should also include
fiscal. responsibility. It is his opinion that a balance of industrial/commercial
development must be reviewed during the discussion of the OffIcial Plan.
Scott Kapuscinski, G.M. Sernas & Associates, 110 Scotia Court, Unit 41,
Whitby, LIN 8Y7, addressed Council on behalf of two developers who own
approximately 250 acres of land east of Liberty Street, which is situated
within the designated area in the Region's OffIcial Plan. Mr. Kapuscinski
stated that services are in the works for this area and requested a
recommendation from Council as to how to deal with the expansion areas
designated in the OffIcial Plan.
Councillor Wotten made a dec1aration of interest with respect to the
delegation of Mr. Bruce Taylor, regarding Report PD-192-91 (Item #6 of

Mr. Murray Payne, R.R. #1, Newtonville, LOA IJO, addressed Council with
respect to Official Plan Amendment 90-020, and requested that Council pass
a resolution approving this amendment. He stated that the amendment had
been submitted on his behalf by G.M. Sernas in February of 1990, and a
resolution was passed that Council approve the Official Plan Amendment on
the condition that the requirements of all agencies have been fulfilled He
stated that approval is appropriate at this time for the following reasons:
1. The matter is best dealt with by the present Council as they are
familiar with the issue;
2. There has been no objections from any agency;
3. Landowners who contributed large sums of money to help bring
water to N ewtonville, were promised that their development plans
would be expedited; and
4. Bill 211, which was given Royal Assent June 27, 1991, now gives
Councils of area municipalities the authority to deal with Official
Plan Amendments.
Nancy Scott, Big Brothers of Newcastle, Box 13, 133 Church Street,
Bowmanville, LIC 3K8, requested that Council grant Big Brothers
Association an exemption from the Terms and Conditions of Sections 3, 4(b)
and 17(b) under the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations
Ontario Form BOTL-TC to allow the Association to sell Nevada Tickets from
Gruffies in Newcastle Village. Ms. Scott described to Council various
services provided by Big Brothers and assured Council that the funds raised
by the sale of Nevada Tickets would be utilized within the Town of
Newcastle.

Mr. IJoyd Stephenson, 106 King Street, Newcastle, LIB 1H5, advised
Council that, with the passing of Bill 122, the approval of his Rezoning
Application DEV 90-081, now rests with the Town. He questioned what
procedures must be followed at this point.
Dr. John Stubbs, President and VICe-Chancellor of Trent University,
Peterborough, K9J 7B8, advised Council that to continue making its
contribution to the Region and to maintain Trent's commitment to high
academic standards, several major projects need immediate attention. Trent
has launched a $15 million campaign 'For Tomorrow" to provide a minimum
of $25 million over the next five years. Dr. Stubbs requested that the Town
of Newcastle provide a grant of $5,000 per year over the next five years to
establish a Town of Newcastle Scholarship. He stated that a grant of this
kind would directly benefit both the people of Newcastle and Trent
University.
Councillor Wotten made a declaration of interest with respect to the

addressed Council on behalf of residents of Solina and vicinity with respect
to the application to have Solina designated a "Hamlet For Growth.' She
requested that Council reject this application because of the following
reasons: it is unnecessary to make Solina a Hamlet for growth; houses that
are built should be affordable, not luxury homes; safety of the citizens with
the open ponds that are being recommended; cost to citizens who are
presently living in the Hamlet; loss of agricultural land; the development
will create a domino affect for other developments; and the rural
atmosphere of the Hamlet will be ruined.
