July 22, 1991
(a) 290572 Ontario Limited - Report PD-160-91
Tony Slavin, 29 Lawson Road, Courtice, LIe 2K3, read the contents of
his letter dated July 15, 1991 and signed by Lawson Road residents. He
mentioned the following concerns:
- devaluation of surrounding properties
- cost of sewers
- lack of information on the draft plan of subdivison
- inappropriate location of the road
- preservation of wild life
- ouly one access route to the subdivision
- noise impact on the adjacent area
- destruction of trees
- bussing for school children
- the path of the proposed road, and
- adverse impact created by fencing, drainage and removal of trees.
Evylin Stroud, 89 Little Avenue, BowmanvilJe, LIe 1J9, requested
cJarification from the Committee pertaining to the ratio of Tableland and
Environmentally Protected Land and noted objection to development
taking place on Environmentally Protected Lands.
Noone spoke in favour of this application.
The applicant was present to answer questions from the Committee.
(b) Eiram Developments Ltd. - Report PD-16l-91
Noone spoke in opposition to or in support of this application.
Joe Guzzi, G.M. Semaa & A~t.es, 110 Soctia Court, Unit 41, Whitby,
LlN 8Y7, was present on behalf of the applicant to answer questions
from the Committee. He advised the Committee that, due to the pie-
shaped lot and the driveway entrance of the proposed townhouse unit
block, the subject lots could not comply with the Town of Newcastle
entrance policy, or the zoning requirement of a common wall for three or
more units. As a result, the developer/builder sold and commenced
construction of dwellings on the lots in the form of two singles and a
semi-detached units. These four units do not comply to the zoning by-
Jaw requirements for lot frontage, lot area and floor area. Therefore, a
rezoning application has been submitted to the Town.

(c) Kennedy Youth Services Inc. - Report PD-162-91
e. Williams, Group Box 7, Box 12, R.R.#3, BowmanvilJe, LIe 3K4,
appeared on behalf of area residents opposed to this application and read
the contents of his letter stating that alljacent properties include large
farms, estate type homes and wetlands that shelter water fowl and wild
life. People in the neighbourhood share some common characteristics:
- open spaces
- nature
- peace and quiet
- tranquility and privacy.
To achieve these needs, residents have paid a higher tariff for larger lots,
larger homes, the installation of water supply, septic tank, sump-pump,
etc. He added that a rezoning of this site would generate more vehicular
traffic of the commercial and passenger type, more noise, dust and
possible accidents. The possibility of youths running away from the
facility poses a major concern for the safety of the children and residents.
The clients of the riding school on Rundle Road are mainly young girls
and their concern is that their business will suffer. Bonding between the
existing neighbourhood and the proposed Detention Centre residents
would be weak as these two groups have nothing in common. He
further noted that the site is wrongly located and that the rights, well
being and protection of property values will deteriorate if this application
is approved.
Elsie EJston, R.R.#4, BowmanvilJe, LIe 3K5, whose property is located
across the road from the proposed facility, advised that she is disturbed
because of the Jack of information reJating to the proposed facility and
feels that it will set a precedent for the relocation of future correctional
institutions. She noted that this is not an appropriate location, property
values will deteriorate, noise levels will increase and the woodlot on the
north side of the property would hamper finding an individual who has
run away from the Youth Centre.
Bernie MnlRnRnn, R.R.#3, BowmanvilJe, LIC 3K4, submitted a letter, a
petition with approximately 520 names of persons opposed to the
construction of a detention facility on this site and a letter dated
July 19, 1991 from Remax Reflection Realty Inc. advising that "the
proposed secure custody facility would most definitely have a very
negative impact upon the resale value of your property. The restrictions
imposed by this type of facility would most certainly affect the desirability
of your property and would adversely affect its normal value escalation in
the future." He stated that the applicant has not taken into
consideration the safety of residents on Rundle Road and adjacent roads.
There are no street lights installed for the safety of residents or for police
to seek out an escapee. Due to restrictions on bussing, he fears for the
safety of his thirteen year old daughter who will have to walk on the
road alone to catch a school bus.

At the corner of Rundle Road and Nash Road is an elementary school
which is attended by young children. The unusual amount of dense
bush on a portion of the property would hamper any pursuit by
authorities and have area residents uneasy. The majority of youths
attending the facility will not relate to any integration into the unfamiliar
environment of this farming community. Other major concerns include
Jack of public transportation, no fIre hydrants, fencing and future
expansion. He suggested that the existing facility located in Ajax be
upgraded to meet the Ministry's guidelines. A change in location is
unwarranted.
Gerald Smialek, 4491 Green Road, Hampton, LOB lJO, circulated a letter
dated July 19, 1991 from Borden & Elliot, Barristers and Solicitors,
whom he has retained, which states that: "the proposed use represents
an intensive, urban use which will intrude into a predominately rural
area contrary to the OtrJciaJ Plan which encourages the concentration of
such uses in developed areas. The existing agricultural operations in the
area may be negatively impacted by the intrusion of a large scale,
residential use. These lands are designated as environmentally sensitive
and may be unsuitable for development."
Luba Sarnnrhin, R.R.#3, Bowmanville, LIe 3K4, owns a cattle operation
adjacent to this site and expressed a major concern with the destruction
of farmJand for the purpose of the construction of the Youth Centre.
She advised that she is a high school teacher who works in a special
school attended by children with problems and understands the needs of
the future residents of this facility but she does not agree with the
philosophy of the detention centre.
Jenny White, circulated a letter dated July 22, 1991 expressing opposition
to this proposal. She stated that as of October, 1990 and until the
designation of the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario Freeway Link,
this property is frozen. These considerations, among others, should be
determined before the proposal can proceed in the normal manner.
Deborah Patrick, 3240 Old Scugog Road, Bowmanville, LIe 3K2, resides
approximately 1700 metres from the proposed development and
questioned the ramifications of a serious offender running away from the
facility. She fears for the safety of her two young daughters and advised
that it would make more sense to upgrade the present facility.

The meeting reconvened at 11:00 a.m.
EvyJin Stroud, 89 LittJe Avenue, BowmanvilJe, LIe 1J9, advised that she
cannot think of a worse location to build a youth detention facility as
these lands are Environmentally Protected
Brian Seaton, R.R.#3, BowmanvilJe, Lle 3K4, a resident of Maple Grove,
concurred with the remarks made by previous speakers and stated that
his fll'st obligation is for the safety of his family.
Barbara Gilham, R.R.#3, Bowmanvi1Je, LlC 3K4, moved from
Scarborough four years ago to this ideal neighbourhood and noted that
her family's existing peaceful lifestyle will be totally wiped out if this
application is approved.
Dwight Bradley, R.R.#1, Hampton, LOB lJO, resides across the road
from the proposed development and stated that he has been advised by
knowledgeable real estate agents that this development will have a
negative impact on adjacent property values.
Linda Bradley, R.R.#1, Hampton, LOB lJO, concurred with the remarks
made by previous speakers and noted strong objection to the intrusion of
the privacy should this application be approved.
N. Jane Pepino, Q.e_, 145 King Street West, Suite 1500, Tonmto,
M5H 2J3, introduced representatives from the organization, Executive
Director, Architect, Program Supervisor and representatives of reJated
agencies. She delved into the past history of Kennedy Youth Services
Inc., an organization which has been in service for 20 years, is non-profit
and operates six facilities managed by paid professional staff. These
facilities fall under the jurisdiction of the Child and Family Services Act.
The purpose for this application is to relocate the Rotherglen Centre
presently operating in Ajax on 23 acres of land which were origina1ly
used for a riding school and hockey camp. The Ajax facility which
houses offenders aged 12 - 15, years for a period of one day to two years,
presently enjoys a good relationship with local authorities. An extensive
feasibility study indicates that it would be too expensive to upgrade the
facility to meet the standards of the Ministry's requirements. The Ajax
location has also become unsuitable because the offenders who once
originated from the Toronto area, are now arriving from the eastern
portion of Durham Region and the Town of Newcastle would be a central
location for residents travelling to this facility. Ms. Pepino dispJayed a
Site Plan and explained that the facility would be built on the northern
portion of the land, 25 acres which are presently under cultivation. The
southern portion of the lot would act as a buffer for the area residents.
She dispJayed an exonometric view of the building, i.e., reception and
counselling area, gymnasium, and bedrooms. She advised that the
facility would house a total of 20 beds for full-time residents and 4 beds
for children temporarily assigned to the facility for detention. Parameter
security fencing would be installed around a portion of the facility.

She advised that Kennedy House Youth Services Inc. is willing and able
to make its experts available to all parties concerned. A traffIC analysis
was undertaken, at Rotherglen Centre, from July 13 - 15, 1991 which
indicated slightly higher than normal traffic patterns. Ms. Pepino
informed the Committee that an environmental study is being
undertaken and that future expansion of the facility is not planned The
Town of Newcastle was chosen for the relocation of this facility because
of its ready access to Highway #401 and Highway #35/115.
Construction would commence as soon as the necessary approvals are in
place.

(b) Bob Martindale, Greer Galloway Group Inc., 650 King Street East,
Osbawa, LlH IG5, dispJayed an Artist's Rendering of the project and
