PUBLIC MEETING
- 2-
November 6, 1995
Councillor Dreslinski chaired this portion of the meeting.
Pursuant to the Planning Act, the Council of the Municipality of Clarington,
through its General Purpose and Administration Committee, is holding Public
Meetings for the following applications:
(a) Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment - Part Lot 13, Broken Front Concession
(A & B), former Township of Clarke - B. & I. Panta; and
(b) Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment - Part Lot 9, Concession 1, former
Town of Bowmanville (160 Baseline Road) - Syvan Developments (c/o Ray
Buckman).
The Deputy Clerk advised that the Clerk's Department sent public notices by first
class mail on or before October 6,1995 to all property owners within 120 metres
of the subject properties in accordance with the latest municipal assessment
record. In addition, notices were also posted on the sites prior to October 6,
1995. 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 each of the proposed appl ications, then the
objectors would be heard, followed by the supporters and the applicant.
(a) Report PD-118-95 - B. & I. Panta - the purpose and effect of this application
is to permit the development of a campground and trai ler park with a total of
96 sites.
Manuel Gonzalez, 1208 Sheffield Road, P.O. Box 28, Sheffield, lOR lZ0, advised
that, although he is not totally opposed to the appl ication, he is concerned that
appropriate fencing be erected if this application is approved. He also advised
that the former road allowance between Concession A & B is presently owned by
abutting property owners.
Avrom Isaacs, 244 Cottingham St., Toronto, M4V leG, circulated a letter dated
October 31, 1995 wherein he stated that he is the owner of property located at
3711 Lakeshore Road in the community of Bondhead. He expressed opposition
to this application for the following reasons:
. Environmentally sensitive area;
. Property zoned Prime Agricultural Reserve;
. Tillable soil;
. Increased traffic, noise, dust and danger to pedestrians;
. Disturbance of wildlife habitat;
. Preservation of heritage sites and nature; and
. Contravention of the intentions of the Lake Ontario Greenway Strategy.

November 6, 1995
Donnalu Wigmore, 3707 Lakeshore Road, Newcastle, L 1 B 1 L9, circulated a letter
dated November 1,1995 which stated opposition to the application because it is
prime agricultural reserve land on the lakeshore. She noted that Lakeshore Road
is not structurally adequate to handle the anticipated additional traffic. Access to
the property involves two level crossing railroad tracks which are both hazardous
and inappropriate. In conclusion, approval of this application would set a
negative precedent and encourage further applications for non-agricultural
rezonings.
Gershon Sone, 4351 Lakeshore Road, Newcastle, L 1B 1L9, noted concurrence
with the comments made by previous speakers and expressed the following two
additional concerns:
. the site is in close proximity to a very dry forest and this may lead to forest
fires; and
. this could set a very dangerous and undesirable precedent for the future
commercialization of the area.
Martyn Peterson, 4220 Lakeshore Road, Newcastle, L1 B 1L9, noted concurrence
with the staff recommendations especially the contents of Paragraph 9.3 of Report
PD-118-95.
Evylin Slroud, 89 Little Avenue, Bowmanville, L 1C lJ9, verbalized agreement
with the comments made by previous speakers and noted that development of
prime agricultural land into a trailer park is totally inappropriate.
Gregory Ward, 3681 Lakeshore Road, Newcastle, L 1 B 1 L9, referred to this area
as the "last remaining beautiful area for a Sunday drive" and noted that it should
be very vigorously protected.
Gershon Sone, appeared on behalf of AI Michael, 4188 Lakeshore Road,
Newcastle, L 1 B 1 L9, and advised that Mr. Michael has a commercial vegetable
operation and, in this process, sprays pesticides, uses large farming vehicles on
the road and he advised that Mr. Michael fears that the trailer park will interfere
with his farming operation.
Judy Metcalf, 4116 Lakeshore Road, Newcastle L 1B 1L9, noted that she drives a
bus on this narrow road and this creates a dangerous traffic situation. If more
vehicular traffic is allowed on this road, this will create a dangerous precedent.
No one spoke in support of this application.
Mr. I.Panta, Box 134, Baltimore, KOK 1CO, previously forwarded a letter dated
October 13, 1995 wherein he requested members of the Committee to postpone
the hearing for his rezoning application to allow him time to deal with the road
allowance issue.
