(a) Bryce lordan, C.M. Sernas, 110 Scotia Crt., Unit 41, Whitby,
L1N 8Y7-
appeared on behalf of Issy Jourdan, reo Town and Country on Wellington.
He advised that the applicant will not be able to obtain financing if the
Municipality does not revisit its parkland dedication requirement. He
requested that the Municipality of Clarington reduce the parkland dedication
to 5%, as does Oshawa, Pickering and Whitby, in its downtown area.
Councillor Dreslinski chaired this portion of the meeting.
Pursuant to the Planning Act, the Council of the Municipality of Clarington,
through its General Purpose and Administration Committee, is holding a Public
Meeting for the following applications:
(a) Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment - Part Lot 18, Concession 4, former
Township of Darlington - Robert and Deborah Tafertshofer;
(b) Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment - Part Lot 12, Concession 1, former
Township of Clarke - Chris Cooper/Cooper Fuels; and
(c) Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment - Part Lot 29, Concession 2, former
Township of Darlington - Robert Owen.
The Deputy Clerk advised that public notices were sent by first class mail on or
before December 20, 1996, to all property owners within 120 metres of the
subject properties in accordance with the latest municipal assessment record. In
addition, notices were also posted on the sites prior to December 20, 1996. This
notice procedure is in compliance with the Ontario Regulation made under the
Planning Act.
The Chairman announced that the Director of Planning and Development would
describe the purpose and effect of the proposed amendments, then the objectors
would be heard, followed by the supporters and the applicant.
(a) Report PD-7-97 - Robert and Deborah Tafertshofer - the purpose and effect of

(b) Report PD-8-97 - Chris Cooper/Cooper Fuels - the purpose and effect of the
application is to permit the outside storage of bulk fuel tanks and a 372m'
office/warehouse/transport depot.
lean Canty, 13 Elgin Street, Hampton, LOB 110 - stated objection
to the storage of six fuel tanks above ground as it will be an eyesore. She
also expressed a concern that this might become a service station.
Dave Tabb, R.R. #3, Port Hope, L1A 3V7 - advised that he and his
wife operate a few farms inside and outside of the municipality and
expressed support for the application on the basis that the service they
receive from Mr. Cooper is crucial to his farm operation as well as all other
farmers in the community.
Marvin Stapleton, 2100 Stapleton Road, Newtonville, LOA 1)0
- expressed support for this application as his family farms approximately
1,000 acres in Clarington and Mr. Cooper provides a great service to the
farming community. He advised that 70% of Mr. Cooper's business is
generated from the local farmers who receive an outstanding quality of
service from Mr. Cooper.
Chris Cooper, 4383 Highway #2, Newtonville, LOA 110 - advised
that he operates Cooper Fuels Limited with his wife, Rosemary, and Cooper
Fuels is an independent bulk fuel distributor and recognized Texaco
distributor of bulk and pre-packaged lubricants. He noted that Cooper Fuels
must remain in the immediate Newtonville area for the following reasons:
. a new location would severely reduce his ability to service the farmers in
the area which represent 62% - 70% of his business;
. the fastest growing end of his business is the pre-packaged and bulk
lubricants and all of these lubricants are geared to the agricultural
community for farming equipment;
. Cooper Fuels does not have a large advertising budget and the location
on the Highway #2 would give the exposure so desperately needed to
keep his market share;
. having to re-Iocate out of Newtonville into an industrial park would leave
the immediate area open to his competitors; and
. Cooper Fuels is a good corporate citizen and will continue to be.
He advised that he is willing to work with all parties to satisfy the
municipality's requirements.
(c) Report PD-9-97 - Robert Owen - the purpose and effect of the application is
to permit the expansion of the existing motor vehicle sales establishment and
to limit the permitted uses to a motor vehicle sales establishment on the
lands owned by the applicant.

values, loss of privacy, trespassing, vandalism, privacy and security fencing,
and non obtrusive lighting.
Mark Harmon, 49 Short Cres., Courtice, L 1 E 2Z6 expressed

hearing by mail. He requested that another meeting be held to allow all
interested parties to comment.

was installed for which he shared the cost with Mr. Jeffery;
