Minutes - 5 - March 6, 1989 . PUBLIC HEARINGS The Chairman called on the Director of Planning to briefly describe the purpose and effect of the by-law, and how the by-law accomplishes the stated purpose. The purpose and effect of the application is to permit a 150 unit senior citizen condominium project with 700 sq.m of accessory commercial floor space. Mr. Ed Finlan, Chairman of Concerned Citizens, 136 Wellington Street, Bowmanville, L1C lWl, stated total objection to this proposal for the following reasons: he does not feel that the high density proposal is appropriate; increased traffic will eventually lead to widening of roads and trees being removed; and the proposal would be detrimental to the history and character of the heritage homes located in this area. He also noted that his group .Concerned Citizens. had requested a noise surveyance and attenuation study from the developer, but this study was not delivered. He further reiterated that there has been a definite lack of commW1ication between the group "Concerned Citizens" and Mr. John Rice and O.P. McCarthy & Assoc. . Mrs. Lucia O'Neill 131 Wellington Street, circulated a letter to the Committee signed by herself and her husband Dr. Kizoff. Mrs. O'Neill stated that she is not opposed to a seniors' building as such. She questions, however, whether such a development is appropriate to its immediate environment in terms of structure, density and functioning. She requested Council, the Planning Department and all involved consultants, to consider this matter carefully as it represents a landmark decision. Mr. and Mrs. Mike Trudeau, 45 Scugog Street, Bowmanville, who are members of the Concerned Citizens Group, appeared before the Committee and stated that their home is located at the intersection of Scugog and Wellington Streets. They expressed concern that the building of this condominium will completely alienate their home from surrounding homes. Mr. and Mrs. Trudeau requested Council and staff to view the area in question. Mrs. Carolyn Sproatt, 35 Scugog Street, Bowmanville, advised the Committee that she has been a resident of Bowmanville since 1972 and her property backs onto the proposed site. She feels that the commercial portion of this proposal is inappropriate as all amenities are located one block away. . Mrs. D. Kougias, 135 Wellington Street, Bowmanville, informed the Committee that she is a new resident of the area since December 1988. She feels that the health of her children will be jeopardized by this construction project and further advised that the proposed driveway of the condominium would be approximately 20 feet from her driveway. The Chairman announced that Committee would now hear from supporters. Mrs. Joan Fruin, R.R. .4, Bowmanville, noted that she is among the 50 years of age and older group, and has been a resident since 1974. She now lives on one acre and feels that the proposed seniors' building would fit their needs as she and her husband are long time residents of Bowmanville and they would like to stay in Bowmanville rather than have to move to another Town. . Mr. Lloyd Woods, Box 722, R.R. Ill, Newcastle, is a member of a steering conunittee formed in January 1989 and is in support of this application, because it is an appropriate use of the land, the design is compatible with the environment, the increases assessment will be a financial asset to the Tbwn and he feels it is right that the seniors be allowed to remain in their community. 205 G.P.A. Minutes - 6 - March 6, 1989 . PUBLIC HEARINGS Rev. Ed Schamerhorn, 190 Church Street, Bowmanville, stated that the proposal is architecturally complimentary to the existing area, and will offer senior citizens a compatible lifestyle. Rev. Frank Lockhart, Minister of Trinity Church, 7 Barley Mill Crescent, Bowmanville, addressed the Committee and shares with the concerns of others that this should be a quality development. This development will allow senior citizens to be in close proximity of the downtown area and of their church, and will greatly benefit the Tbwn of Newcastle as a whole. Mr. Ralph White,lOO Liberty Street, N., Bowmanville, LlC 2Ml who has been a resident of Bowmanville since 1945, and owns a townhouse complex on Liberty Street NOrth, feels that this project will be a great benefit to the senior citizens and to the Town. It will replace the eye-sore of a used car lot and freight shed. . Mrs. Joan Gibbs, 5 Sunicrest Court, Bowmanville, appeared before the Committee in support of this application as it will allow senior citizens to be in walking distance to the church and all amenities. Mrs. Joan Mann, R.R. #5, Bowmanville, is in favour of this project as her mother is a senior citizen and could use these facilities. She feels that increased assessment will benefit the Tbwn. The Chairman announced that Committee would now hear from the applicant. Mr. Peter McCarthy, 11 Church Street, suite 404, Tbronto, Ontario, MSE 1M2, stated that the proposed density is in accordance with permitted uses. He has undertaken to hire traffic and pedestrian consultants. He noted that seniors do not have the same traffic patterns as commuters and, therefore, traffic congestion will not be a problem. There will be no need for additional signage. The present commercial use of trucks will be replaced by cars. Sunlight studies have been conducted and neighbours will not be adversely affected. A noise survey has been undertaken and will be reviewed with the Planning Department. This site would meet all the needs of the senior citizens. . The Chairman concluded the public meeting. ******************************************************************************** Proposed ZOning By-law Amendment - Part Lot 18, Concession 4, former Township of Darlington - Carlo Rossi The Chairman announced the purpose of the public meeting.
