(a) Roadside Developments Ltd. - Report PD-64-91 Joe Duesbmy, 122 Duke Street, Bowmanvi11e, LlC 2W2, who resides across the street from the proposal, noted various concerns pertaining to entrances, shadow effect of the proposed building, construction debris on the roads, architecture of the building, garbage and the possibility of the site becoming a hangout for teenagers. Noone spoke in support of this application. Allan Rae, 510 Eastern Avenue, Toronto, M4M 1C7, displayed an artist's rendering of the proposed building which will be six storeys high and located on Baseline Road between Liberty Street and Duke Street. Liberty Street and Baseline Road will access the site and it was noted that a 3-metre appropriation for widening will eventually have to be made. Shadow studies of the project will be submitted to the Town in the near future. The developer will ensure that roads are maintained and kept clear of construction debris and mud. Adequate storage will be provided on the site. The developer has purchased a property on the north west comer of Duke Street, adjacent to the park, which will improve siting and access and allow for a better frontage. The applicant will provide a fInal plan for site development review in the near future. (b) Claret Investments - Report PD-65-91 EvyIin Stroud, 89 Little Avenue, BowmanvilJe, LlC 1J9, requested clarification of paragraphs 6.2 and 6.4 of Report PD-65-91 pertaining to Conservation Authorities. No one spoke in support of this application. The applicant addressed the Committee and expressed a desire to resolve all concerns. (c) Heritage Durham Development Corp. - Report PD-66-91 R. Kaiser, 27 Garrock Avenue, Toronto, M4K 1M!, advised that he has, for seven years, owned thirteen acres of land to the west of this proposal. He questioned whether this development is compatible with the planning principles of the Master Plan. This parcel is composed of prime agricultural land and should remain as is. He stated that this project may be profItable in the short term but questioned whether it is right for the community at large. G.P.& A. Minutes . PUBLIC MEETINGS . . - 4- April 8, 1991 R. Tismaresky, 4617 T ...k....hore Road, R.R.#8, Newcastle, LlB lLO, advised that he, since 1953, has owned agricultural land adjacent to the proposal.

Evylin Stroud, 89 Little Avenue, Bowmanvi11e, L1C 1J9, expressed concern for the project as it is situated on prime agricultural and environmentally protected lands. She also made reference to the concerns raised by the BowmanvilJe Beach residents because of the erosion of the Lake Ontario Shoreline and fears that the same situation will occur in this instance.

Too much competition can result in vacant stores which are boarded up thus promoting vandaJism. He requested that an independent market analysis, based on growth projection, be prepared, paid by the applicant and administered by Town Staff for a totally unbiased opinion. He added that his preference for this site would be a type of market which caters to automobile usages. Noone spoke in support of this application. Ray Abbott, 172 King Street East, Suite 303, Oshawa, LlH lB7, appeared on behalf of the applicant and displayed an artist's rendering of the project. He stated that the proposed use is in conformity with the zoning and that a market analysis study was prepared two years ago. The project will offer larger warehouse type of uses and tenants will be charged a reasonable rent. The top floor of the second building will be used for offices. He advised that he has spoken with some residents of Bridle Court who appear to have no objection to the project. Parking spaces for customers would be allotted at the front of the building and twenty six parking spaces for employees would be located at the rear of the building. G.P.& A Minutes .

She requested that the Committee not detract and lessen the importance of industrial development. She questioned the issue of fairness when one developer who owns 45 acres is requested to set aside 7.5 acres within the proposed subdivision for the purpose of accommodating the future proposed interchange at Lambs RoadlHighway 401.
