February 3, 1997
Pursuant to Chapter 210 (Section 111) of the Municipal Act, the Council of the
Municipality of Clarington, through its General Purpose and Administration
Committee, is holding a Public Meeting for the following application:
(a) Proposed Amendment to Change the Street Name - Portion of "Regional
Road 14" between Regional Road 4 (Taunton Road) and Regional Road 20 to
"Historic Manvers Road" - Municipality of Clarington.
The Chairman announced that the Director of Planning and Development would
describe the purpose and effect of the proposed amendment, then the objectors
would be heard, followed by the supporters and the applicant.
(a)
Report PD-17-97 - Municipality of Clarington - the purpose and effect of the
application is to change the street name of that portion of "Regional
Road 14" between Regional Road 4 (Taunton Road) and Regional Road 20 to
"Historic Manvers Road". The renaming of Regional Road 14 to "Historic
Manvers Road" would necessitate changing the municipal street address and
house number of some of the abutting properties.
Sandy Brittain, 7303 Liberty Street North, Tyrone, LOB 110, requested that
"Regional Road 14" be named "Liberty Street" as this is the simplest way to
alter the name. She suggested that signage be posted to reflect the historical
significance of the area.
Fred Archibald, 6275 Liberty Street North, Bowmanville, L1C 3K6, noted
the following points:
. the primary purpose of naming a road is so that it can be easily identified;
. a Liberty Street exit has already been established on Highway 401;
. keeping the name "Liberty Street" makes it easily identifiable to delivery
vehicles;
. people now residing on Liberty Street are listed as such in the telephone
directory; and
. in his estimation, businesses are best served with the name "Liberty
Street".
Walter Loveridge, R.R. #5, Bowmanville, L1C 3K6, advised that he has
polled the residents on his road and cannot find anyone who wants the
name "Clemens Road".
Dave Brittain, 7303 Liberty Street North, Tyrone, LOB 110, advised that he
prefers the name "Liberty Street". He noted that the name "Manvers Road"
already exists in Newcastle and it would be confusing to emergency vehicles
if this name was also used in Bowmanville.

PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D.
Bob Shaeffer, 2656 Concession Road 7, Bowmanville, L lC 3K6, stated that
because of the historical nature of the Tyrone Mill, a historic name for the
road would be advantageous. He requested clarification on whether the
house numbers would also change if the name of the road was changed.
Charles Loveridge, R.R. #5, Bowmanville, L 1C 3K6, noted that the name
change of the Municipality was confusing enough without changing the
name of a road in Clarington to "Manvers Road" which also abuts Manvers
Township. He sees no reason why the house numbers should change.
Paul Vaneyk, R.R. #5, Bowmanville, L1C 3K6, informed Members of the
Committee that the road with the proposed name change was at one time a
road for Indian portage. He advised that he contacted most of the businesses
and they are in favour of changing the name of the road to "Historic Manvers
Road" after which the road was named in 1974. He made the following
points:
. emergency drivers should familiarize themselves with new addresses;
. the road does not belong to the residents but is to be used by all; and
. his vegetable business patrons and suppliers have no difficulty finding his
location.
He requested that Members of the Committee change the name of the road
to "Historic Manvers Road".
Pursuant to the Planning Act, the Council of the Municipality of Clarington,
through its General Purpose and Administration Committee, is holding a second
Public Meeting for the following application:
(b) Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment - Part Lot 29, Concession 2, former
Township of Darlington - Robert Owen.
The Chairman announced that the Director of Planning and Development would
describe the purpose and effect of the proposed amendment, then the objectors
would be heard, followed by the supporters and the applicant.
(b) 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.
Donald Thompson, 37 Short Cres., Courtice, L 1E 2Z5, expressed the
following concerns:
. drainage (after a rainstorm, his property is like swampland);
. loss of his privacy;
. bright lighting;

. noise, ie, loudspeaker system;
. property deval uations; and
. lack of trust in the municipality, questioning why rules have not been
followed.
Mark Carman, 49 Short Cres., Courtice, L 1 E 2Z5, expressed a lack of
confidence in the applicant's desire to be a good neighbour. He questioned
who will police and monitor the grading and the development process. He
reiterated the concerns expressed by Donald Thompson and he requested
that Members of the Committee not rush and proceed slowly to do
everything according to the Municipal By-laws. He requested that the
situation be regularly monitored.
Steve Conway, 57 Short Cres., Courtice, L 1E 2Z6, advised that his backyard
is at the lowest drainage grade and requested that consideration be given to
this situation.
Evylin Stroud, 89 Little Avenue, Bowmanville, L1C 1)9, requested
clarification pertaining to the process of delegations receiving a copy of the
report prior to a meeting.
Jim Reid, 11 Peachtree Cres., Bowmanville, circulated a letter of support
from Cecil Adema, 1719 Highway #2, Courtice, wherein Mr. Adema states
he has been a neighbour of Roy Nichols Motors Limited for over thirty years
and feels that it is greatly beneficial to both Courtice and Bowmanville.
Roy Nichols Motors has provided employment for the local population and,
under the co-op program, part-time employment for the young people of
Courtice High School. He further noted that Roy Nichols Motors was
established long before any of the existing neighbours moved there. Mr.
Reid also circulated a document containing eight signatures of persons who
are employed by Roy Nichols Motors, are residents of the municipality and
are in favour of the proposal because Roy Nichols Motors has created jobs
and supported worthwhile causes: children's sport teams, the Build Courtice
Campaign, Courtice Secondary School Co-operative Education Program,
Mens Hockey and Softball Teams, Golf Tournaments, Big Brothers, and the
United Way.
Robert Owen, 975 Copperfield Drive, Oshawa, L 1 K 2E9, reiterated his
comments made to Members of the Committee on January 20, 1997, adding
that he has been advised by the Regional Municipality of Durham that he
will lose some property fronting onto Highway #2 because of the proposed
turning lanes at Courtice Road and Highway #2. He advised that he is
prepared to meet with the residents and to work with them to satisfactorily
address their concerns.
