Noise not. afactor, they say Commercial development concerns neighbors 9, rAUb 17 Termed as the largest go- kart track on the North American continent, the Family Kartway, south of Brooklin is at a standstill as far as the expansion of the track is concerned. The re-zoning application by Richard Clark owner of the go-kart track was tabled by the Administration Com- mittee of Council for about six weeks. It was hoped that within the designated time limit there would be a report on the noise level at the Kart- way track. Richard Clark was told by the Administration Com- mittee members that when he has the noise level tests made he make certain that the Town Officials and the neighbours to his property "be notified." But according to the majo- rity of the neighbours in the vicinity of the Kartway it is not the noise level of the go-karts that is the big pro- blem. The nitty gritty of the matter is that they do not want to have their properties zoned commercial. If Mr. Clark's application for re-zoning goes through, they state there will be a time coming when the whole area along Highway 12 will be termed commercial. "If areas along the roads and highways are going to be all zoned commercial and/or industrial lands, where are they going to stack the people?" asked one resident. "It is just a way of pushing people and property owners off their property and push- ing them out of the way. If this is what is going to be done the whole area is going tô be a zoned barren waste- land for useless commercial development and there won't be the people around to accommodate the overabun- dance of commercial/indus- trial zoned land." Members of the delegation expressed their concern to the Free Press at the conclu- sion of the Administration Committee meeting. Michael Vaughan solicitor for Mr. Clark pointed out during the meeting that the rezoning application seeks to cover the existing uses, go- kart raceway, specifying in particular the uses that are perty owner, tenant or em- ployee engaged in the opera- tion of the go-cart track. "This man seems to be asking for the whole world," said Jim Hunter whose pro- perty is only 75- feet away from the Kartway property. "The compatibility with this matter, Kartways, is not compatible with the area which is agriculture." The area is zoned agricul. ture on the former Whitby Township plans and on the Durham Region plans. Mr. Hunter also asked about the effect a proposed "big cloverleaf that will be coming into the area within 75 feet of the Kartway pro- perty" will have on the Kart- way land and business. The Clarks pointed out that the Kartway business "has been expanded six times over the past 20 years. It was a conforming use in 1975 why did the Town take it away from us?" Bob Clark said during the meeting, "we care about our neighbours and we are pre- pared to make some com- promises. We are not trying to annoy anyone. We are trying to do a free enterprise business which has grown phenomally since 1961. We are trying to go out on the limb for this town. We have something special which no one else has in the entire North American continent." Hitch-N-Plow TRAILER HITCHES and ACCESSORIES 1979 HITCHES.
