PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D.
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 May 15, 1992 to all property owners
within 120 metres of the subject property in accordance with the latest
municipal assessment record. In addition, notices were also posted on sites
prior to May 15, 1992. This notice procedure is in compliance to Ontario
Regulation 404/83.
The Chairman announced that any persons wishing further notice of the
passage of the by-law, should leave their name, address and telephone
number with the Deputy Clerk before they leave.
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) Lorne and Jo-anne Mehring - Report PD-143-92 - the purpose and effect
of the application is to permit a severance of the rear portion of the
subject lands for future development purposes.
Noone spoke in opposition to or in support of this application.
The applicant was present to answer questions from the Committee.
(b) Lions Centre of Bowmanville - Report PD-144-92 - the purpose and effect
of the application is to recognize the existing legal non-conforming use.
John Rice, 65-67 Concession Street West, BowmanviIIe, LIe lY7,
circulated a letter dated June 15, 1992 registering an official objection to
the proposed zoning by-law amendment for the Bowmanville Lions Club
application. He states, in his letter, that "in the early 1950's, without
consultation, a wooden fence was removed from the boundary line and a
6' chain link fence was erected north of the lot line and up to 3.5' on the
Rice property." He advised the Committee that in 1979, he instructed
Mr. 1rwin Hamilton, Solicitor, to attach a registration to the Lions Club
deed, officially objecting to the position of the fence. He requested that
the fence dispute pertaining to the property boundary be resolved before
this application is approved.
Noone spoke in support of this application.

DELEGATIONS
Ron Strike, Strike, SaImers & Furlong, P.O. Box 7, BowmanviI1e,
LIe 3K8, appeared on behalf of the Lions Centre and noted concurrence
with the recommendations contained in Report PD-144-92. He
articulated that the need for this application is two-fold: should massive
destruction occur to the building, the applicant would be required to have
a rezoning prior to reconstruction and the need for approval of this
application for insurance purposes. Mr. Strike advised that the facility
has a multiplicity of uses and that the current uses will not be extended.
He indicated that a survey undertaken by Merrill Brown seems to
indicate that the fence has been erected on the boundary line of the
property. He requested that the boundary dispute not delay the process
of this application. He expressed willingness to meet with members of
the Board of Management of the Lions Club, Mr. Rice, Mr. Tee1man, Dr.
J. Rundle and members of Planning Staff in an attempt to review and
resolve the property boundary problem.
(a) Dean Worden, Worden Insuranre Brokers, 52 1/2 Simcoe Street North,
Oshawa, LlH lLl - was called but was not present.

Councillor Dreslinski advised that, over the week -end, she received 22 telephone
calls, mostly from senior citizens, advising that having to pay their tax bills at the
Bank of Nova Scotia causes them difficulty due to the fact that the smaller
hamlets do not have a Bank of Nova Scotia Many of them do not have a
personal checking account which renders payment by mail to the Municipal
Administrative Centre rather difficult.
