PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D.
Joan Jones, 41 Strathalbm Drive, Bowmanville, LlE 2H2, articulated
opposition to the erection of an apartment building because it will
devalue surrounding homes, encourage the proliferation of kids and drugs
and the neighbourhood will become unsafe. Her present residence is to
be her retirement home and she expressed anger with the proposed
development.
S.....nnp Elston, 16M Bloor Street, Courtice, LlE 2S3, advised the
Committee that the social and municipal services presently in place will
not adequately accommodate the needs of the future residents living in
this development.
No one spoke in support of this application.
Mark Foley, eJo Kingsberry Properties, 13 College Avenue, P.O. Box 11,
Oshawa, LlH 7K8, appeared on behalf of Kingsberry Properties and
noted the following points:
.
The application, in its original format, met the target population for
the 2B N eighbourhood of 4300 persons but did not meet the criteria of
accessibility onto Trulls Road in that the Regional and Town of
Newcastle Public Works Department felt that there were too many
access points onto Trulls Road.
The application was revised to accommodate the requirement of
limited access onto Trulls Road but increased the projected population
to 4550 persons.
The development would be similar in nature to that of Parkwood
Village but it has not yet been determined if the units will be
condominiums or rental apartments.
(c) Douglas Southwell - Report PD-157-92 - the purpose and effect of the
application is to permit the erection of a 6.7m by 6.0m accessory
structure/utility shed within the floodplain of a Soper Creek Tributary.
Noone spoke in opposition to or in support of this application.
Douglas Southwell, 2807 Regional Road 14, R.R. #5, Bowmanville,
L1C 3KU, advised that he moved into his new home in February and that
he will be constructing the utility shed on the highest elevation of his lot.
He expressed willingness to adhere to the Central Lake Ontario
Conservation Authority and the Town of Newcastle's requirements.
.
(d) Draft Official Plan Amendment Implementing the Town of Newcastle
Municipal Housing Statement - Report PD-158-92 - the purpose and effect
of the application is to establish appropriate policies, regulations and
approval procedures to create opportunities for a variety of honsing types
to be developed. The purpose of the proposed Official Plan amendment is
to incorporate policies into the Town of Newcastle Official Plan which
shall encourage the creation of an adequate and accessible supply of
housing that is affordable for all Town of Newcastle residents.
Noone spoke in opposition to or in support of this application.

(a) Dr. Wendy Korver, R.R. #4, Bowmanville, L1C 3K3 - Evylin Stroud
requested that Dr . Wendy Korver be allowed to speak later in the
meeting.
(b) Jolm Davies, eJo Markborough PropetLies Inc., 1 Dundas St. W~ Suite
2800, Toronto, M5G ?J2 - introduced various individuals from his project
team and advised that Marborough Properties Inc. owns 32 shopping
centres in Canada He delved into the background of the application
which was originally submitted in September, 1988. He circulated
documentation to members of the Committee including letters from
Zellers and Loblaws who are interested in locating in this mall. He
advised that the Main Central Area Study indicated a preference for
mixed use along Green Road and the intervention of public roads,
north/south and east/west. He advised that this would change and
intensifY the focus of the plan and is impossible to achieve. He
introduced Mr. Heinz V 0gaJ, Architect, who displayed an Artist's
Rendering reflecting the two major vehicular accesses and the pedestrian
access to the mall. The architectural features highlight the critical
treatment of the various buildings as individual components. A "skyline"
has been created by linking smaller retailer stores in a series of smaller
buildings around the perimeter. This has been the key to making an
interesting and attractive shopping centre. SignifIcant landscaping and
buffering will be undertaken. When all approvals are in place,
construction will commence in approximately two years. Mr. Davies
advised that he would be pleased to meet with the Business Improvement
Area Representatives of the Town of Newcastle.

(d) Sl1......." Elston, 16M Bloor Street, Courtice, LlE 2S3 - stated that she
was privileged and honoured to have attended the Earth Summit held in
Rio De Janeiro two weeks ago. She congratulated members of the
Committee for showing remarkable leadership in the environmental

.
(f) Sandy flt-hrnit!t, Department of H_Ith. 13 Mull Crescent, Courtice,
LlE 2C9 - advised that, although she does not dispute the history of the
area, she objects to the proposed name of "Tobacco Road". She gave a
slide presentation which reflected the number of deaths attributable to
tobacco - 13,000 in Ontario every year. She noted that the change of
name would provide free advertising for the tobacco industry and set a
bad example for youths. She suggested that a suitable alternative to
making people aware of the tobacco farming history of this area would be
to set up a display in the Bowmanville Museum with the Tobacco
Farming theme.
(g) Bill Paterson, 1909 Bloor Street East, R.R. #2, Bowmanville, LlC 3K3 -
requested that a parking space for the handicapped be created at

Report WD-54-92 is somewhat misleading as the ramp is only 9 metres
from the curb. He requested that the Committee approve the contents of
Report WD-54-92.
(h) Everett O'Reilly, 2963 Coucession Rood 4, Bowmanville, LlC 3K5 -
advised that he is a 5-year resident of Concession 4 and fmds the
proposed name change to "Tobacco Road" distasteful as smoking is a
socially unacceptable habit.
.
(i) John PI--, 2990 Cnnc ;on Rood 4, Bowmanville, L1C 3K5 - a
21-year resident of the area advised that he objects to the renaming of
Concession 4. He stated that more suitable names could include: Adams
Road or Irrigation Road. He indicated that the initiators of the name
change will not be affected as their driveway does not front onto
Concession 4.
