(I) Kim and Barry Twilt, 4 Cedar Crest Beach Road, Bowmanville, L 1C 3K3-

(I) Trudy Reid, Box 527, Orono, LOB lMO - Kerry Meydam fe: Report
CD-37-96 read the contents of Trudy Reid's letter dated July 2,1996 wherein
she requested the Committee's endorsement of an Animal Control Advisory
Committee because these are dedicated groups of volunteers representing the
identified stakeholders of a particular service. They support, advise and offer
feedback to service providers. They are a barometer from which service
providers can obtain a reading so as to how they are perceived to be doing.
Service providers can use the expertise of the individual members of their
particular advisory committee to aid in their skills development.
(g) Leah Houston, 137 Cedar Crest Beach Road, Bowmanville, L1C 3K3 - re:
Report Addendum to ADMIN-8-96 - advised that she has actively been
pursuing this issue for two years because it is so vitally important to the
everyday living of the residents. Not enough information has been provided
to make a decision on the issue of the crossing and mitigation has not been
explored to its fullest. She referred to the whole process as being a "quick
fix". She invited Members of the Committee to be environmental visionaries
and requested that more dialogue take place with the residents.

such work;
. thorough analysis of community impacts;
. an alternate location for the CBM rock crushing operation; and
. resolution of who will pay for construction of a bridge and road to
replace the existing Waverley Road.
David Ashcroft circulated a copy of his correspondence dated July 2,1996
wherein he requested that Report Addendum to ADMIN-8-96 be referred
back to Staff for a more thorough examination of the issues to be undertaken
before making a recommendation to Council on the preferred route issue.
Those who stand to be most affected by the proposed route should be
consulted. He requested that the relocation of the CBM crusher be referred
back to Staff to work in conjunction with Mr. Symmes and Mr. Crombie. He
also noted that the matter of who will be financially responsible for the
implementation of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust's plan should be
clarified.
As a resident of Cedar Crest Beach Road, Mr. Ashcroft reiterated that creative
problem solving must continue so that a long-term acceptable solution can
be found for this issue.

PUBLIC MEETINGS
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 application:
(a) Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment - Part Lot 26, Broken Front Concession
Darlington - 1151233 Ontario Ltd.
The Deputy Clerk advised that the Clerk's Department sent public notices by first
class mail on or before June 4, 1996 to all property owners within 120 metres of
the subject property in accordance with the latest municipal assessment record.
In addition, notices were also posted on the sites prior to June 4, 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 application, then the objectors
would be heard, followed by the supporters and the appl icant.
.
(a) Report PD-97-96 - 1151233 Ontario Ltd. - the purpose and effect of the
application is to rezone the subject lands from "General Industrial (M2)" to
an appropriate zone to permit the establishment of an automobile
dismantling operation including warehouse, distribution and sale of
automotive parts.

. PUBLIC MEETING CONT'D.
Stan Racansky, 3200 Hancock Road, Courtice, L lE 2Ml - advised that he will
support the application if it is environmentally sound and identified a need for the
clean-up of contaminated soil of other auto wrecker operations which look like
junk yards.
Keith Crago, 255 Osbourne Road, Courtice, L 1 E 2R3, - expressed opposition to
this application on the grounds that there are no services in place, narrow roads,
high water table and the location of the site being on the Waterfront Trail. He
requested Members of the Committee to give careful consideration to this
application prior to making any decisions.
Florence Arnold, 72 Osbourne Road, Courtice, L1 E 2R3, advised that she has
owned property directly across the road from the proposal for fifty years and
noted concerns pertaining to her well water and the fear that contaminants will
drain onto her land.
Shirley Crago, 255 Osbourne Road, Courtice, L1E 2R3, indicated a total lack of
consideration on the part of the applicant for adjacent neighbours in that they
park transport trucks and vehicles on both sides of the road and leave these
vehicles there all day. She fears that grease, oil, anti-freeze and other
contaminants will seep into the ground and will negatively affect streams, crops
and cattle.
.
There was no support expressed for this application.
Kevin Tunney, Tunney Planning, 340 Byron St. S., Whitby, L 1N 4P8, appeared
with William Labanovich and leffery Labanovich and circulated documentation
entitled "What Happens to Your Car Now" along with letters from the Whitby Fire
Department and from the Automotive Recyclers Association. He advised that the
applicant is licensed and regulated by the Ministry of the Environment and that
cars will be stored in an enclosed compound. The process of dismantling cars
and disposal of contaminants to be used by the applicant is a totally new concept
and the first of its kind in Ontario. Periodical environmental checks will be
performed by the Ministry of the Environment and the cars to be disassembled
will not be visible to members of the public. The applicant expressed his goal to
eventually have a 20 person operation and expressed a desire to conform to
requests made by the Municipality.
