Before proceeding with this matter, the Chairman asked the Deputy Clerk to
advise on the manner of notice.
The Deputy Clerk advised that public notices for the Rezoning Applications were
sent by first class mail on or before October 21,1994 to all property owners

assessment record. In addition, notices were also posted on sites prior to
October 21,1994. This notice procedure is in compliance to Ontario Regulation
404/83.
The Chairman announced that the Director of Planning and Development would
describe the purpose and effect of the proposed appl ications, then the objectors
would be heard, followed by the supporters and the applicant.

Report PD-132-94 - Oswenda Investments Ltd. - the purpose and effect of
the rezoning application is to permit a reduction in the width of a parking
space stall and permit the development of a 886.78 square metre
commercial plaza.
Roger Ovenden, 94 Baseline Road West, Bowmanville, L1C lA6 -
expressed opposition to the proposed plaza stating that the existing flow
of traffic on Baseline Road is too fast and too congested. He also
expressed concerns pertaining to traffic entering and exiting the parking
lot.
Joe Duesbury, 122 Duke Street, Bowmanville, L lC 2W2 - verbalized
opposition to the application because it might be a future hangout for
teenagers, generate garbage which wi II end up on his lawn and create
traffic safety hazards.
Evelyn Stroud, 89 Little Avenue, Bowmanville, L lC lJ9 - requested
clarification pertaining to the nature of the request and stated her
preference for the Committee's approval of reducing the number of
parking spaces required rather then the size of the parking spaces.
No one spoke in support of this application.
The applicant was present to answer questions from the Committee.

Report PD-133-94 - Alexandris Investments Ltd. - the purpose and effect
of the application is to implement the development of a Plan of

units and 23 townhouse units.
Alex Voois, 2304 Trulls Road South, Courtice, L 1E 2N2 - stated that he is
not opposed to the application but is concerned about traffic speeding on
Trulls Road during morning rush hour, the quality of his well water being
protected and the installation of a fence to protect his privacy and his
green house business. He advised that he is interested in developing his
land.

DELEGATIONS
Patricia Greene, 2386 Trulls Road South, Courtice, L 1E 2N2 - advised
that, although she does not object to this proposal, she is concerned that
the approval of the application might negatively impact her property. The
previous construction of 21 houses on Yorkville Road generated
construction debris being pushed onto her property and drainage
problems occurring because the elevation of these homes is higher then
that of her property. She advised that she has never experienced
problems with the quality and quantity of her well water and requested
assurance from Members of the Committee that her well would not be
adversely affected. She expressed an interest in developing her land.
No one spoke in support of this application.
Said Mneimne, Masongsong-Atkari Engineering Limited, 9078 Lesley
Street, Unit 4, Richmond Hill, L4B 3L8 - advised that the subdivision wi II
be serviced by municipal water and that engineering and grading plans
are being undertaken by the developer.
The Chairman announced that all persons wishing further notice when these
applications are to be dealt with by the Committee in subsequent meetings,
should leave their name and address with the Clerk's Department.
Resolution #GPA-669-94
