Resolution #GPA-126-92 Moved by Councillor N oval<, seconded by Councillor Dres1inski THAT the agenda be altered to hear delegations (i) to (p) at this time. "CARRIED" (i) Bruce Taylor, R.R.#1, "F.nn;Alnllen, LOB lHO - re: Report PD-238-91 - circulated a letter dated February 17, 1992 which states that: - "for the stable growth and economic health of this Town and its resident taxpayers, it is imperative we have adequate transportation routes into and out of this area in place for the future. - the significant increase of trucks transporting the products of gravel pit extraction from resources outside our Town are significantly deteriorating our local road structure. These roads are maintained in the major portion by our property tax dollars. - we need ttnot never", "not 25 - 30 years from now" but "now" arterial roads to carry this through the Town traffic. - the proposed route has the least impact on the environment when compared to other routing areas. - at the current rate of decrease of farming operations in the Town, 20 - 30 years from now there will be few farm operations left which actively produce agricultural product whether we have a highway constructed or not. - there is a substantial risk the Town, with its many communities, will become a stalled haven for aging social program users who drain our property taxes if growth is not encouraged" He referred to the proposed Highway 407 as being "the least worst solution" and requested that the recommendations contained in Report PD-238-91 be approved. G) Bon Trent, 8399 MiddIe Road, R.R.#1, Bowmanville, LlC 3K2 - reo Report PD-238-91 - expressed opposition to the proposed most northerly Highway 407 route and made the following comments: - there would be volumes of traffic travelling the link from Highway 401 to Highway 407 through rural routes - this Highway would destroy the Oak Ridges Moraine - the northerly route would damage and pollute creeks - selection of this route would rob Bowmanville of much needed industry - servicing of this area would be diftIcult - selection of the northerly route would fragment the area; and '"" r. :'~ C::JJ G.P.& A Minutes - 6- February 17, 1992 . DELEGATIONS CONT'D. - it is costing the Town of Newcastle time and money to rehash this proposal. He requested that the Committee approve the recommendations contained in Report PD-238-91. (k) Roy Forrester, 5301 Main Street, Orono, LOB lMO - reo Report PD-238-91 - advised that alternate means of transportation are needed. High occupancy lanes could be created on major roads and, public transit, rather than "one car - one occupant," can be used. The results of a survey conducted by the Canadian Auto Association with 40,000 replies indicated that 63% called for more public transportation spending. He noted that, if a route is selected, his preference is for the southern route. . (1) Lynn HeIpord, Concerned Citizens Committee, 3190 TownIine Road. R.R.#2, Orono, LOB 1MO - reo Report PD-238-91 - circulated a copy of the Ontario Food Land Guidelines and a map of the Highway 407 proposed route and the north route. He advised that the Town of Newcastle will not "shrivel up and wither" if Highway 407 does not go through. He has delved into this issue with the Towns of Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa and Whitby who have noted some objection to this project. Highway 407 does not guarantee more industrial development in the Town of Newcastle. He referred to this project as a "crime against the laws of nature by destroying the farmland." (m) Karen McArthur, R.R.#5, Bowmanville, L1e 3K6 - reo Report PD-238-9l - was called but was not present. (n) Jan Montgomery, R.R.#2, Orono, LOB lMO - reo Report PD-238-91 _ referred to the auto industry as being a major energy consumer and polluter. She advised that approval of the proposed Highway 407 would be encouraging this activity which is "old world thinking". She stated that we have the "ability to create our world and if we ignore the warning signs around us, we must change or perish." She requested the Committee to say "no" to the approval of this project because if "new ways of living are not created, we will not have a future." (0) Garnet Rickard, R.R.#4, BowmanviI1e, L1e 3K5 - reo Report PD-238-91 - circulated a letter with attachments of newspaper articles entitled "MTC Unimpressed by Newcastle Complaints About Highway 407 Plan" and "Rae Delivers Budget Chop". He made the following comments: . - "Highway 407 - Can we afford it? What are the benefits? Our economy is weakening. Our social problems are increasing. Our environment is suffering. - Communities will become stronger, local identity will return, a massive highway such as Highway 407 through this Town will be unnecessary. - Our first and most important option is to preserve our best agriculture land to feed the millions that some people forecast will live here in the future.

Legros, 1678 Bloor Street, Courtire, LlE 2N1 - re: Report PD-4 7 -92 - advised that his property abuts the subject site to the west and he has been a resident of this area for 17 years. He has enjoyed a good neighbourly relationship with the applicant for many years. He referred to this project as not being an enlargement or expansion of the existing use and advised that he is in opposition to a use that is substantially different from the present use. He objects to this proposal because the flea market does not conform, carries the existing use to Sundays and his property will be adversely affected by the traffic generated by the flea market. (b) Randy Henry, 172 King Street East, Oshawa, LlH IB7 - re: Report PD-4 7 -92 - displayed a copy of the floor plan and advised that the Saturday and Sunday flea market hours will be from 9:00 am. to 5:00 p.m. The auction is expected to be held one night per week. His brother resides inunediately to the east and his mother lives directly across from the site, therefore it is his intention not to disturb the surrounding neighbourhood. He noted that this is a three-year rezoning and not a permanent use. eouncillor Hannah made a declaration of interest with respect to Report PD-55-92; vacated his chair and refrained from discussion and voting on the subject matter. Councillor Hannah is a member of a gun club. (c) Bill Funston, 160 Beaver Street South, Newcastle, LIB 1C4 - reo Report PD-55-92 - advised that his wife appeared before the Committee on October 20, 1991 to express her concerns with their neighbour using a long bow and a cross bow in their backyard Since this time, this activity has progressed from being a hobby to giving lessons to customers. Intimidating remarks have been made to his wife by these customers and he has changed jobs to be home every evening because his wife is feeling threatened. 20/ . . . G.P.& A Minutes - 8- February 17, 1992 DELEGATIONS CONT'D. (d) Conservation Offi<:er McQuay, Ministry of Natural Resoun:es, 322 Kent Street West, Lindsay, K9V 4T7 - reo Report PD-55-92 - advised that, although he strongly agrees with prohibiting certain archery type activities for the safety of residents, he is of the opinion that the proposed fIrearms by-law is too restrictive and places the hunter in a situation of breaking the law. The by-law restricts the farmer and his inunediate family from protecting their property. He noted that hunters are needed because the Ministry does not have the capability to control the recent explosion of the Canada Geese population and hunting is an important management tool in this process. (e) Bernadette WaIt, 4235 Tooleys Road, Courtice, LlE 1Z4 - reo Report PD-56-92 - was called but was not present. (I) Fatima Henson, e/o Bruce Wood, 4275 Tooleys Road, Courtiee, L1E 1Z4 - reo Report PD-56-92 - was called but was not present.

He advised that in 1985, the Ministry of the Environment approved guidelines prohibiting asphalt fill in residential areas. Subsequently the Ministry sent the Town a letter requesting it remove the rill from the property. In his estimation, these are conflicting statements. He advised that the asphalt and debris were pushed onto his property as a result of development taking place on his neighbour's land and he commenced civil action on February 13, 1992.
