"CARRIED"
(b)
Wilson Little, 410 Waverley Road South, Bowmanville, LlC 3Y8 - reo
Report PD-l08-95 - delved into the history and background of the
application and questioned why the Municipality has decided to bring
forward concerns now when, in fact, this application has been ongoing
since 1989. He requested that Members of the Committee not endorse
the recommendations contained in Report PD-l08-95. In his view, there
is no need for comments from the Municipality since the application
meets Provincial and Federal approval standards. Mr. Little introduced
Ian MacNaughton, Planning Consultant, 171 Victoria Street North,
Kitchener, N2H 5C5 who appeared on behalf of St. Marys Cement
Corporation regarding Report PD-107-95 and requested that the
Municipality object to the Land Division application on the basis that the
decision is premature until such time as David Crombie has reported on
this issue. Concerns pertaining to the St. Marys Cement operation have
resulted in:
. a desire to increase the amount of wetlands to be saved;
. increase the buffer between the St. Marys Cement operation and the
residences; and
. the possibility for access to the site other than Waverley Road.
(c) Mavis Carlton, Port Darlington Community Association, Group 2, Box
63, R.R. #2, Bowmanville, L 1C 3K3 - circulated correspondence dated
October 2, 1995 in which she requested support for the
recommendations contained in Report PD-108-95. She advised that this
application should be subject to proper environmental review. She
expressed concerns pertaining to:
. the possibility of the St. Marys docking facility becoming the major
industrial port for the Region of Durham;
. social issues which include health concerns; and
. a more detailed study on the adverse impact of erosion on the
shoreline.

PUBLIC MEETINGS
- 3-
October 2, 1995
Councillor Dreslinski chaired this portion of the meeting.
Pursuant to Section 34, Subsection 12 of 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 of Lot 11 and Part of Lot 12,
Concession 1, former Town of Bowmanville - Erwin Kurtz
The Deputy Clerk advised that public notice was sent by first class mail on or
before September 1,1995 to all property owners within 120 metres of the subject
property in accordance with the latest municipal assessment record. In addition,
notice was also posted on the site prior to September 1,1995. 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 amendment, then the objectors
would be heard, followed by the supporters and the applicant.
(a) Report PD-104-95 - Erwin Kurtz - the purpose and effect of this application is
to permit the renovation and expansion of the existing building to provide for
a total of 240 square metres of commercial floor space.
Dan Holkema, President, Skylight Doughnuts, R.R. #2, Bowmanville, L 1C 3K3,
circulated a copy of his presentation and a petition containing approximately 750
signatures of persons requesting that the Municipality of Clarington deny the
application which would allow the development of a Baker's Dozen Doughnuts
as they do not think that it is good economic planning and development to locate
two doughnut shops directly across the road from each other.
Bob Wing, National Home Video, 243 King Street East, Bowmanville, LlC 3X1,
objected to the application on the basis that it will have an adverse impact on the
existing doughnut business. When two other video stores located in the
downtown area, he laid off an employee and had to take a cut in pay because of
the adverse impact on his business. He noted that the downtown cannot
accommodate another doughnut shop and three bakeries within walking distance
of each other.
Evylin Stroud, 89 Little Avenue, Bowmanville, L 1C 1)9, suggested that this
application should be denied on the basis of the adverse parking ramifications.
She suggested that, when staff addresses the street oriented design, staff take into
consideration the safety of persons having to park behind the stores. In this
endeavour the following factors should be incorporated into the site plan:
. brighter/extended lighting;
. placement of the dumpster in an area where people can't hide behind it; and
. brightly lit alleyway.

G.P.& A. Minutes

October 2, 1995
No one spoke in support of this application.
Reg Freethy, 5 Silver Street, Bowmanville, L lC 3C2, Architect for the applicant,
displayed an artist's rendering and a site plan of the proposal. He advised that
1,000 sq. ft. will be added onto the existing building which has been determined
to be reusable. He has liaised with the B.I.A. and there is no objection to the site
plan or the application. A pedestrian lane has been put in place for the safety of
the customers and it is the applicant's intention to maintain the north access onto
King Street. He advised that the proposal incorporates street front oriented design
principles and parking areas have been located at the rear of the building
wherever possible.
Erwin Kurtz, 185 Ridge Road, Aurora, L4G 3G8, circulated copies of two artist's
renderings of the interior and the exterior facade of the Baker's Dozen "Cafe" and
stated that a variety of foods can be acquired in these facilities, not only
doughnuts. He noted the following points:
. the economic value of this proposal will generate an approximate annual
payroll of $300,000.00;
. the approval of this application will remove the gas retailing component from
the downtown core;
. the landscape portion of this proposal is 25% to 30% of the area;
. the drive-thru component will generate approximately 60% of the business;
. he proposes to install a bus shelter next to the bus stop;
. the corner lot is far more desirable for ingress and egress to the site; and
. he has attempted to meet all of the Municipality's requirements.
He requested that Members of the Committee consider this project on its own
merit.
