Mr. Taylor stated that noise is a contaminant and suggested that the
municipality's noise by-law be amended to incorporate Ministry of
Environment Guidelines. Mr. Taylor addressed the issue of parking and
stated that the potential environmental ramifications of parking this
quantity of vehicles on the Oak Ridges Moraine cannot be overstated.
In his estimation, the applicant would require an additional 25 acres of
land for parking to comply with the zoning by-law. Mr. Taylor
expressed support for the recommendations contained in Report
ADMIN-12-95 and requested that the questions contained in their
presentation of February 22, 1995, be answered by the Municipality. He
advised Members of the Committee that as a citizen group, they would
be pleased to assist in a consultation role.

Before proceeding with these matters, the Chairman asked the Deputy Clerk to
advise on the manner of notice.
The Deputy Clerk advised that the public notice for rezoning application
DEV.95-004 was placed in local newspapers on or before March 22, 1995. This
notice procedure is in compliance to Ontario Rgulation made under the Planning
Act.
The Deputy Clerk advised that the public notice for the official plan amendment
application was placed in local newspapers on or before March 15, 1995. In
addition, notices were also sent to those individuals who registered their concerns
at public meetings heard for the accompanying rezoning application DEV.93-032.
This notice procedure is in compliance with 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-38-95 - The Municipality of C1arington - The purpose and
effect of the proposed zoning amendment is to:
i)
amend permitted uses within Agricultural (A) zoned lands by
deleting "Fairground" and replacing it with "Agricultural
Fairground"; and
ii) add a new definition for "Agricultural Fairground" which would
have the effect of prohibiting a stand alone music festival or
concert save and except the lands owned by Mospot Park.
William J. Tomlinson, Durham Central Agricultural Society,
P.O. Box 294, Orono, LOB IMO, referred to a letter which he sent to
the Municipality expressing concern that the fairgrounds in Orono will
adversely be affected by the zoning by-law amendment which defines
agricultural fairgrounds. He advised that miscellaneous events have
been planned for the Orono Fairgrounds including a mini tattoo which
will feature the C1arington Concert Band and a musical band from
Wales and fears that if this application is approved, the Orono
Fairgrounds will no longer be allowed to hold these neighbourhood
community events. He requested that the Orono Fairgrounds be
exempt from the proposed amendment.
No one spoke in support of this application.

(b) Report PD-39-95 - 970973 Ontario Limited - The purpose and effect of
the application is to permit the development of 123 residential units.
Marc Battle, 25 Hunt Street, Bowmanville, LtC 2W8, thanked the applicant
for working with the neighbourhood residents in order to address their concerns.
He expressed a concern that his preference would be for lower density than
proposed because the site is located so close to the creek. In his estimation, the
fish, deer, coyote, anglers and the creek will eventually disappear.
Carl Sleisser, 18 The Bridle Path, Bowmanville, LIC 3Wl, noted that he
moved from the city to enjoy the peace and tranquility and that this
development is not necessary and questioned when it will all stop.
Carolyn Charman, 2 Albert Street, Bowmanville, LIC IG7, concurred
with the comments made by the previous speaker and expressed concern
pertaining to the additional traffic which she feels cannot be
accommodated by the present street patterns and the standards of the
streets will have to be upgraded.
No one spoke in support of this application.
Rosemarie Humphries, Weston and Associates, 64 Jardin Drive, Unit 7,
Concord, UK 3P3, noted that the application involves 123 units which
is 75% less dense than the original application made in 1993. She
informed Members of the Committee that an environmental impact
analysis and traffic studies have been conducted and that stabilization
work will be undertaken on the creek.
Resolution #GPA-276-95
Moved by Councillor Scott, seconded by Councillor Pingle
THAT the Committee recess for 10 minutes.
