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. . . .

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.
