Concession 2, former Township of Darlington; and
(c) Proposed Rezoning Application - Simkins Homes - Part Lot 35,
Concession 3, former Township of Darlington.
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 all rezoning applications
were sent by first class mail on or before April 2, 1993 to all property owners
within 120 metres of the subject property in accordance to the latest
municipal assessment record. In addition, notices were also posted on sites
prior to April 2, 1993. This notice procedure is in compliance to Ontario
Regulation 404/83.
The Chairman announced that all persons wishing further notice of the
passage of the by-laws should leave their name, address and telephone
number with the Clerk's Department.
.
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 applicants.
(a) Rick Gay - Report PD-70-93 - the purpose and effect of this application
is:
to amend the Town of Newcastle Official Plan to change the
designation from residential to permit the creation of a commercial
plasa consisting of 2300 m floor space;
to amend the Zoning By-law to change the zone category from
"holding urban Residential Type One ((H)Rl)" to a commercial
zone appropriate to permit the proposed use; and
to amend the N eighbourhood Plan to change the Residential
designation to a designation appropriate to permit the proposed
use.
Noone spoke in opposition to or in support of this application.
Ron Worboy, 153 Simcoe Street North, Oshawa, LlH 7K8, appeared on
behalf of Rick Gay and advised that the applicant is willing to co-operate
with Mr. Jeffery and Mr. Habninen in the development of this 2300 m2
commercial plasa. The applicant has attempted to satisfy the planning
concerns by retaining the architectural value of the house which will be
the focal point of the plaza. He requested that the retail impact study,
which is required only if the commercial area is more than 2500 m2, be
waived in this instance.

(b) Wayne Chaskavich - Report PD-71-93 - the purpose and effect of this
application is to amend the Zoning By-law from "Agricultural (A)" to an
appropriate zone that would permit the creation of one (1) single family
dwelling lot through land severance.
Noone spoke in opposition to or in support of this application.
Ron Worboy, 153 Simcoe Street North, Oshawa, LlH 7K8, appeared on
behalf of Wayne Chaskavich and noted concurrence with the
recommendations contained in Report PD-71-93. He made specific
reference to dialogue being pursued regarding the rural cluster.
(c) Simkins Homes - Report PD-72-93 - the purpose and effect of this
application is to amend the zoning by-law from "Agricultural (A)" to an
appropriate residential zone that would permit five (5) single family
dwelling lots.
.
.
Dan Lawson, 1440 Nash Road, Courtice, LlE 2Kl, advised that he has
resided west of the subject property since August, 1983. He expressed
opposition to the proposal for the following reasons:
1.
There is a row of 35-year old cedar trees - 130' in length which
would be damaged or destroyed if construction of the homes is
allowed. The trees provide a wind-break, shade and act as a sound
harrier. He has maintained these trees for the past 9 years for
Mr. Stark, the previous owner of the property.
The drainage has been altered because of the construction of the
road and therefore he has serious concerns that construction will
cause water run-off on his land. He has taken corrective measures
to remedy the present situation which, he feels, will worsen if
these homes are built.
The small size of the lots are conducive to the erection of single
car driveways. This will lead to cars being parked on the road and
will be hazardous to school children who attend S. T . Worden
school which is located nearby.
Mr. Lawson requested that, if construction of the homes is
allowed, the developer be requested to construct a privacy fence to
replace the chain link fence presently in place.

Noone spoke in support of this application.
Terry Sin>lrino., Simkins Homes, 18 Prince Rupert Drive, Courtice,
LlE 1Z5 - advised that he has dialogued with Mr. Lawson and will
attempt to save as many trees as possible. The homes will have a set-
back of 25' which will not alter the grading or elevation and not affect
the drainage to surrounding properties. The houses will have a garage
and double driveway to adequately address the parking requirements.

(a) Don Logie, VICe Pr-iilPnt, Development, Shopping Centres Group,
Markborough Properties Inc.., 1 Dundas Street West, Suite 2800,
Toronto, MOO 2J2 - appeared on behalf of J. Davies regarding Report
PD-60-93 and circulated a letter dated April 29, 1993 including site plans
for Canadian Tire and the Bowmanville Centre. He delved into the
historical background of these applications and stated that: "Phase II:
Development Options Report" prepared by Berridge, Lewinberg,
Greenberg...completely ignores our comments and their concept would
render our project unfeasible"... He advised that Scenario No.2 - The
Grid System will not allow the visibility needed from Highway 2 and the
ease of pedestrian movement required to link the stores in the shopping
centre. He reiterated in his correspondence that: "the adoption of the
Berridge, Lewinberg, Greenberg plan would be the end of our project".
He requested that members of the Committee direct staff to uphold the
decision of the previous Committee as it relates to their proposal,
approve this site for the 230,000 sq. ft. development envisioned in
OffICial Plan Amendment No. 40 and proceed forthwith in the drafting of
a zoning by-law and site plan agreement for this site. He expressed his
willingness to work and co-operate with Members of Council, members of
Staff and the Business Improvement Area membership.
(b) Frank McGurk, Zeller's, 401 Bay Street, Suite 600, Toronto, M5H 2Y4-
addressed Committee with respect to Report PD-60-93 and advised that
there are presently 274 department stores located across Canada and
Zeller's is the No.1 department store. Zeller's has signed a fu-m
agreement with Markborough Properties Inc. and West Bowmanville
Developments for the construction of a 70,000 sq. ft. store in the
Bowmanville area because this location has proven to be a desirable
market area. He referred to Scenario #2 - The Grid System as being an
"out of date" method of retailing. Zeller's has closed most of its
downtown locations because they were unprofitable. Market studies
have indicated and proven that customers need high visibility of the
store and parking in close vicinity. Zeller's cannot agree to a road
system which would dissect the site and would have no option but to
terminate the contract if the grid system is approved. Zeller's would be
willing to pursue dialogue pertaining to the erection of small buildings to
shield/bide the parking lot from Highway 2.
(c) Norm Kane, C...nRm..n Tire Corp. Associate Store, 2401 Highway #2,
Bowmanville, LIC 4V 4, addressed Committee with respect ot Report
PD-60-93 and expressed support for the proposal made by Markborough
Properties Inc./West Bowmanville Developments and a shopping mall.
Since the relocation of the Canadian Tire store from the downtown core
to the present site, representation of clients from the downtown has
increased from 49% to 63% and representation from the rural area has
increased from 49.8% to 70.3%. He advised that the CRnRiI;Rn Tire store
would "disappear" under Scenario #2 because the visibility of the store
from Highway 2 would be lost. He advised that the erection of a
shopping plaza would create "one stop shopping" which is what the
customers want.

(d) Ron Strike, on behalf of Ghods Builders, P.O. Box 7, BowmanviIle,
LIe 3Ka, addressed the Committee with respect to Report PD-60-93 and
advised that his client has serious difficulties with Scenario #2 - The
Grid System but is willing to co-operate and compromise. He expressed
the following concerns:
I.
The road pattern system would fragment the area and create a
fmancially unfeasible situation. His client would be willing to
consider full pedestrian and bicycle access.
Various zoning designations, i.e., mixed residential, office use, etc.,
if approved, would lead to the site being vacant for a long time.
The present use should be commercial with phasing in of other
uses in due course.
His client supports some aspects of phasing of zoning which should
focus on uses which are not directly competitive with the
downtown core. His client supports full dialogue with Members of
Council, Staff and other developers.

(e) John Kazmerouski, on behalf ofMcDonalds ()onRrlR, P.O. Box 7,
Bowmanville, LIC 3K8, addressed the Committee with respect to Report
PD-60-93 and advised members of the Committee that four years of
marketing studies indicate that the best marketing location is the
southwest corner of Martin Road and Highway #2. The elimination of
full access to and from Martin Road to Highway #2 would be disastrous
to McDonalds. McDonalds would like to see commercial development
surrounding its site.
(I) Herb Green, Bowmanville Mal1, c/o D.M. Consultants, 8308 Bathurst
Street, Box 936, Thornhill, L3T 4A5, addressed the Committee with
respect to Report PD-60-93 and advised that, pending the consultant's
report on numbers, it is diffICult to make a comment. However, he
advised that any development larger than 230,000 sq. ft. would devastate
the downtown area
.
(g) Bryce Jordan, G.M. Sernas & J\........u.t.es, 110 Scotia Crt., Unit 41,
Whitby, LlN 8Y7, addressed the Committee with respect to Report PD-
60-93 and reiterated his client, Jose Ibanez's, concerns and desire for a
commercial designation on the five acre parcel which is located adjacent
to the Markborough Properties. His client is willing to co-operate
towards a short and long term solution.

(k) David Greenspan, Q.C., c/o Thomson, Rogers, Barristers and Solicitors,
390 Bay Street, Suite 3100, Toronto, M5H lW2 and William Manson,
WDM Coruu.lbmts, 20 CJpm..tiR Road, WiUowdale, M2J 4X2, addressed
the Committee with respect to Report PD-77 -93 and circulated a letter
dated May 3, 1993 and displayed a map denoting the Farewell Creek
community development concept. He advised that the developing
residential character of the 160 acre area is evident by the existing
residential strip development along the west side of Trulls Road, the
existing Timberlane Court estate residential development south of
Pebblestone Road just east of Farewell Creek, the existing and strip
residential development along the Tooley Road corridor just west of
Farewell Creek and the urban residential development occurring in
Courtice North Neighbourhood 3A to the south. He referred to the
undeveloped vacant area in the centre of this existing residential
development as being the "hole in a doughnut". He advised that the
Gibson Report which bas been prepared, indicates that the development
of this living area is expected to have no discernable quantative impact
on the base flow received by Farewell Creek or the two seasonally
intermittent watercourses located on the site. In April, 1993, Ecoplans
Limited completed a comprehensive preliminary environmental overview
of the area which coml1"lllS that the living area could be developed if the
Farewell Creek Valley and the southern intermittent tributary were
protected. D.G. Biddle and Associates also completed a comprehensive
conceptual servicing report for the Farewell Creek community living area
and adjacent lands to the south, namely, the northern portion of
Courtice North Neighbourhood 3A He also informed the Committee the
necessary sanitary and watertrunks to service this whole area are now in
place. He requested that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee:
.
I.
ComJrm the living area designation in the new Regional Official
Plan;
Reject a special study area designation for Courtice North; and
Reject Staff's recommendation to not even consider Courtice North
within the timeframe of the new Regional Official Plan.
