(a) 542985 Ontario Limited - Report PD-224-91
Gord Baker, 71 Martin Road South, &.&.#6, Bowmanville, LlC 3K7,
circulated a letter dated October 3, 1991 opposing the application for the
following reasons:
- the erection of 22 townhouses which face north with their hack yards
abutting the existing neighbourhood's north fence line
- the location of a garbage disposal area directly in front of his home
- increased noise level generated from traffIC; and
- the proposed type of fencing along the hack yards.
He added the area is currently zoned to allow single family and linked
units and should stay that way.
Noone spoke in support of this application.
Bryce Jordan, G.M. Sernas and A~t""\ 110 Scotia Court, Unit 41,
Whitby, L1N SY7, dispJayed a map of the Bowmanville Urban Area and
a Site Plan, noting that the junction of Martin Road and Highway #57
will eventually be closed off. He advised that a development of
22 townhouses is appropriate for this site and that the consultant has
spent 2-1/2 years trying to address the concerns of the surrounding
residents. There will be 56 parking spaces for the 22 townhouse units
and the garbage bin will be enclosed in a structure. The height of the
fence will be reduced and the architecture of the houses be of a
modernized victorian appearance.
(b) Keith Crago - Report PD-225-91
Noone spoke in opposition to or in support of this application.
The applicant was called but was not present.
(c) Durham Region Non-Profit Housing - Report PD-226-91
John Garvin, 20 Andrew Street, Newcastle, L1B 1J4, reiterated his
concerns of September 9, 1991 to the Committee which include:
- surrounding lots are too 1arge
- the slope of the property is too great
- decrease property values
- increased violence
- loss of view
- residents are from Ajax and Whitby rather than from the Town of
Newcastle.
Jean Graham, Durham Growers, 345 Mill StreetNorth, NewcastJe,
LlB 1J3, appeared on behalf of Durham Co-op Cold Storage located
across the street from the proposal. She suggested that the width of the

Narda HnogJ<arnp, 276 Mill Street North, NewcastJe, L1B 1J3, considers
this area to be a "hazard area" and questioned the Ganaraska Region
Conservation Authority's approval of this application. She also
questioned the "Public Meeting' process wherein people opposed to an
application speak fll'st with the applicant speaking last. She advised that
applicants' comments are sometimes erroneous and residents opposing
the project are not given the opportunity to cha1lenge these comments.
Thomas Nortoo, 66 Andrew Street, NewcastJe, L1B 1J3, expressed
concerns pertaining to water runoff from the creek in the spring time
and additional parking and vehicular traffIc generated by the trucks to
and from the Durham Co-op Cold Storage.
An area I""$idPnt questioned why this type of development could not be
undertaken in an area already zoned for this purpose.
Darren Carswell, 32 Andrew Street, Newcastle, LlB 1J3, expressed the
following concerns:
- the slope of the property will have to be altered which will adversely
affect his property
- loss of view
- train tracks are a threat; and
- property values will decrease.
Two letters of support for this proposal were circulated, one dated
October 6, 1991 from Ronn Young, Pastor, Newcastle Fellowship Baptist
Church and one from Marlene Spruyt dated October 4, 1991.
Valerie Cramner, Durham Region Non-Profit Housing. 1615 Dundas
Street East, 4th Floor, Lang Tower, Whitby, L1N 6A3, advised that
several sites had been studied and this is the most appropriate site for
the proposed facility. She advised that the offer of purchase for the land
is conditional upon the rezoning application being approved. The
architect dispJayed an Artist's Rendering and floor plans of the project.
There will be five bedrooms in each unit therefore accommodating five
clients per unit of the semi-detached dwelling. Distinct patios on either
side of the building and mature trees will complement the structure.
This will be a group home for developmentally handicapped individuals
who have some physical disabilities as well. She requested that the
Committee table Report PD-226-91 until such time as the applicant has
had the opportunity to address the concerns of the surrounding residents.

(a) Alex Scott, 61 TownIine Road South, Courtice, L1E 2J1, introduced
Robert who addressed the Committee and requested permission, as part
of a Community reJated environmental project, to paint small caution
yellow fish over storm drains. These fish would serve to remind citizens
to correctJy dispose of their hazardous household waste. Too many
people change their oil or anti-freeze and carelesaly allow these materials
to drain on the ground and eventually into the sewer system. If a
cautionary yellow fish was dispJayed on the curb over the sewer, people
would consider the proper method of disposal instead of the easy way
out.
(b) Debbie Nowlan, 29 Jones Avenue, Newtonvi1Ie, appeared on behalf of
Ken Slater, Kinrow Investments Inc., and described the history and
background of the application for the Newcastle Family Resource Centre.
She advised that, on September 11, 1991, a meeting was held with Mr.
R. Willsher, Planning Staff and the applicant wherein 13 of the 16
demands made by the residents were met by the applicant. She advised
that the applicant has shown great patience in an honest attempt to meet
all of the concerns of the residents and requested that the application be
processed as expeditiously as possible.
