Councillor Dreslinski chaired this portion of the meeting.
Pursuant to the Planning Act, the Council of the Municipality of C1arington,
through its General Purpose and Administration Committee, is holding a Public
Meeting for the following application:
(a) Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment - Part Lot 33, Concession 8, former
Township of Clarke - 9027-0310 Quebec Inc.
The Deputy Clerk advised that the Clerk's Department sent public notices by first
class mail on or before August 23,1996 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 site prior to August 23, 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 appl ication, then the objectors
would be heard, followed by the supporters and the applicant.
(a) Report PD-123-96 - 9027-0310 Quebec Inc. - the purpose and effect of the
application is to change the current zoning from Agricultural (A) and
Agricultural Exception (A-l) to an appropriate zone to permit the
development of a parking area in association with Mosport Park.
Clay Taylor, President, North Clarington Ratepayers Association Inc., P.O. Box
346, Orono, LOB 1MO - circulated correspondence dated September 23, 1996 in
which he raises the Association's concerns stating that: Itjn our opinion, providing
a parking area of 122.6 acres will have a detrimental impact on property values,
public and private security, the effectiveness of the Municipality's by-laws and
inevitably the rights of property owners." He expressed opposition to this
proposal because it would facilitate the transfer of a 122.6 acre parcel of prime
agricultural land to a parking lot and it would enable Mosport Park Inc. to hold
larger events.
