- 2-
April 7, 1997
(a) Bryce lordan, C.M. Sernas & Associates, 110 Scotia Crt., Unit 41,
Whitby, L 1N 8Y7, addressed Committee with respect to Report PD-43-97.
Mr. Jordan spoke in support of the recommendations contained in the
report to approve Plan of Subdivision 18T-87021 as this is a small parcel
which is part of a larger neighbourhood and the proposal fits into the unit
type mix of the neighbourhood. Mr. Jordan stressed that the application
is for development of blocks of townhouses and parking lots will be
provided for visitors, thereby alleviating the necessity of parking on the
street.
(b) Keith Allin, 192 Glencairn Ave., Toronto, M4R 1 N2, was called but was
not present.
(c) Henry Kortekaas, 82 Sherwood Road East, Ajax, L 1T 2Z2, was called but
was not present.
(d) Douglas Markoff, 154 Aylesworth Ave., Scarborough, M1 N 216, advised
Committee that he would not be making a presentation at this time.
(e)
Henry Sissons, 40 Winter Road, R.R. #1, Orono, LOB 1MO, addressed
Council with respect to Report ADMIN-8-97. Mr. Sissons stated that the
Orono Forestry Centre is a unique assembly of public lands which is too
valuable to the municipality and its residents to be put on the auction
block. He stated that turning the property into residential units will do
little for the municipality, however, should the municipality purchase the
property, both the public and specific economic interests would be
served. Mr. Sissons urged the municipality to negotiate with the Province
to somehow take hold of the various sections of the property.
(I) Roy Forrester, 6 Mill Lane, Orono, LOB lMO, addressed Committee with
respect to Report ADMIN-8-97. Mr. Forrester thanked the municipality in
assisting with the process which has ended with the Province maintaining
1000 acres of the Orono Forestry Centre. He stated concern that during
the public meeting, many individuals came forward volunteering their
time for various activities, however, the issue of public liability was
raised. He stressed that there must be some way of working around this
issue to allow for individuals to volunteer their services.
(g) Leah Houston, 137 Cedar Crest Beach Road, Bowmanville, L 1C 3K3,
was called but was not present.
(h) Edmond Vanhaverbeke, Syvan Developments, 85 King Street West,
Unit 2, Newcastle, L 1B 1L2, advised Committee that he had no

(I) Maurice Pedwell, Newcastle Lodge for Seniors & Family Dwelling,
R.R. #8, 3441 Concession Road 3, Newcastle, L1 B 1L9, addressed
Committee with respect to Confidential Report WD-22-97. He stated that
in 1981 only 13 parking spots were available for the complex. They have
been able to stretch this to 22 spaces, but now require space for more
parking. Mr. Pedwell agrees with the recommendations contained in
Confidential Report WD-22-97, however, he stated that they are a non-
profit organization and therefore cannot raise or borrow money for the
purchase of the land. He indicated interest in the purchase, however,
limited resources is making it difficult.
Councillor Dreslinski chaired this portion of the meeting.

through its General Purpose and Administration Committee, is holding a Public

subject properties in accordance with the latest municipal assessment record. In
addition, notices were also posted on the sites prior to March 7, 1996. This

PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D
No one spoke in opposition to or in support of this application.
Kelvin Whalen, 1029 McNicoll Avenue, Scarborough, M1W 3W6,
appeared before Committee on behalf of Green Martin Holdings Ltd., and
indicated the applicant's concurrence with the recommendations of staff.
He noted the concern outlined in the report regarding the Gateway to
Bowmanville and stated that the applicant is prepared to work with staff
and LACAC in order to create a historical design for the proposal.
(b) Report PD-40-97 - 829426 Ontario Inc. - the purpose of this application is
to permit a "convenience store" having less than 465 square metres of
floorspace as a permitted use. The proposed zoning by-law amendment
would delete the requirements of Section 16.5.15 d) v) which requires the
department store to have a minimum setback of 2.0 metres and a
maximum setback of 15.0 metres.
No one spoke in opposition to or in support of this application.
.
David Baffa, 1 Dundas Street West, Suite 2800, Toronto, M5G 212,
appeared on behalf of the applicant and requested that, as this proposal is
of a technical nature and no one spoke in objection to it, approval of the
application be given at today's meeting with the by-law coming forward
to Council on April 14, 1997.
(c)
Report PD-41-97 - The Kaitlin Group Ltd. - the purpose of the application
is to permit a plan of subdivision consisting of 25 single detached units.
In addition, the application proposes the following zone regulations: a
front yard setback for the dwelling reduced from 6.0 metres to 3.6 metres;
a rear yard setback for the dwelling reduced from 7.5 metres to 5.0
metres; an exterior side yard setback for the dwelling reduced from 6.0
metres to 3.6 metres; an increased lot coverage percentage of 45%; a
frontage requirement for the lot reduced from 18.0 metres to 13.8 metres
and a lot area requirement for the lot reduced from 650 sq. metres to 435
sq. metres.
Dr.lohn Campbell, 250 Baldwin Street, Newcastle, L 1B 1C1, addressed
Committee as Chairman of the residents of Clarke and Baldwin Streets.
He voiced their objection to this development as the smaller lots will not
fit with the existing neighbourhood which generally has a frontage of 90
feet or more. He stated that the present zoning of the property is more in
keeping with the neighbourhood. Also, with the smaller lots,
Dr. Campbell stated a concern regarding parking and the fact that
sidewalks may need to go on the opposite side of the street due to
smaller setbacks.
.
Jacqueline Lake, 254 Baldwin Street, Newcastle, L1B 1C1, spoke in
objection to the application based on the reduction of lot size and
increase in lot coverage, the reduction of building setbacks, possibility of
on-street parking, and the construction of sidewalks on the west side of
Baldwin Street and the north side of Clarke Street. She indicated,
however, that she is not opposed to the construction of single family
homes that conform to the present Rl-1 Zoning regulations.

to this application based on the smaller lots which are proposed. He
stated that should the lots remain the present size, he has no objection.
Evylin Stroud, 89 little Avenue, Bowmanville, L 1 C 119, requested that
Committee seriously consider the comments of the Ganaraska Region
Conservation Authority as outlined in Section 6.2 and also stated that
parking difficulties may be experienced in this area if the lot size is
reduced.
Karen Smokorowski, 45 Clarke Street, Newcastle, L1 B 1C1, voiced her
opposition to this development.
Robin Ibbotson Rickard, 5 Clarke Street, Newcastle, L1B lCl, urged that

the neighbourhood.
Ted Brown, 30 Clarke Street, Newcastle, L1B lCl, a resident since 1984,
stated that he does not mind the building of the subdivision, however, he

George VanDyk, 19 Scugog Street, Bowmanville, L 1C 3H7, indicated

enjoyed by the residents in the area.

to permit a Subdivision comprised of 16 semi-detached units and 2 future

lames Strickland, 30 Kingsview Court, Courtice, L 1E 1E7, indicated that
when he purchased his home he backed onto the park, however, this
new plan does not even allow access to the park from Kingsview Court.
He stated concern with respect to increased traffic levels and questioned
why the residents were not notified when the park was changed to a
parkette.
Maureen O'Reilley, 10 Kingsview Court, Courtice, L1E 1E7, indicated
that she purchased her home on a court because of the I ight traffic. She

Connie Bruni, 18 Empire Crescent, Courtice, L H 1 E3, is concerned that
the new development will affect her fencing and light and increased
traffic will be experienced.
Leslie Steane, 41 Kingsview Court, Courtice, L1E 2A9, is fearful that this
proposal will create increased traffic and there will be no park access
available to residents of Kingsview Court.
Steve Rupert, 31 Kingsview Court, Courtice, L 1E 1E7, stated that the
proposed development will cause a dangerous situation for children with
the increased traffic that will be generated.
Karen Marko, 27 Kingsview Court, Courtice, L 1 E 1E7, requested that, if
this development is approved, the road be brought in from Townline
Road to ensure the safety of the children on Kingsview Court.
Patricia Hanna and Jeff Brown, 43 Kingsview Court, Courtice, L1 E 2A9,
stated they are not opposed to the development, however, they
questioned whether the Parking By-law could be amended to allow for
parking on one side of the street only and whether park access will be
guaranteed to the residents.
Leonard Watson, 32 Kingsview Court, Courtice, LH 1E7, indicated that
he backs onto the proposed development. He presently has direct access
to the park and is requesting that, should the development go ahead, a
walkway be built to allow for continued access.
David Foote, 47 Kingsview Court, Courtice, L1 E 2A9, addressed
Committee in support of the application. He indicated that if the
developer is not allowed access to the property, three homes will be built
at the end of the court which will cut off access to the park. However,
access will be available should the developer be allowed to go ahead
with the proposal.
Mark Foley, Taunton Terrace Limited, 319 College Avenue, Box 11,
Oshawa, L1H 7K8, provided a brief history of this application and
indicated that the Regional and Municipal Public Works Departments may
have conflicting views with respect to the access road coming off of
Townline Road. Mr. Foley stated that he is prepared to continue work
with staff and residents in order to address concerns regarding the traffic
pattern.
