4%'e Canadian Statesman, Bôwmanville, February 12, 1975 Protest (From Page One) namnes opposing a proposed ownhouse development on their street. The petition, as well as verbal briefs, were presented at the last council meeting, where the matter was referred to this Planning Advisory meeting. The second delegation- of ratepayers didn't get their concern before the committee until approximately 9:30, the meeting starting at 7:30 p.m. This delegation was from the Marianna Development hýomes in Waverly Gardens, ; nd w:as repi-esented by their -olicitor Kingsley Van Nest, On behaîf of t he residents, Mr. Van Nest submitted a petition to the committee, of 354 naines ,opposingany zoning change which would perliit resident- iai dcvelopmcnt on a 2.69 acre dlot of land locatedý on the northeast corner of Waverly .R'oad and Quinn 'Drive in l3o)wmanville. He told the , ,,mi-ittee that when the residents purchased their hiomes in Waverly Gardens, they were shown a 1971 study which designated that this plot of land be used for small convenience stores, and his clients hadl relied on this çtudy. The land owner, Southeast Building Corporation, has re- cently proposcd two apart- ment buildings on the site with local 'Commercial outlets on the ground floor of one of the buildings. One building would contain 7,500 square feet of commercial floor space and 36 apartment suites above. The other building would contain ý4 apartments. Both buildings proposed would, be eigh t storcys in height. This is the first time the proposai has come to the Planning Advi- sory Committee meeting. Newcastle Planning director George Howden had a, report submitted on the matter. The third delegation was a group of- trailer park owners who wished to give input on a Trailer Licensing Bylaw. These trailer parks are of a holiday nature and the owners wished to state their object-, ions to comments f rom the committee on side lots, set back for such holiday vehic- les. The delegation was, not heard because of the late hour and it was decided that -the delegation would be heard this Friday nieht,, when the rest of the Planning Advisory agenda would be dealt with., Townhouses on Hobbs Drive Planning Adviscîry Comýmit- tee Chirman Kirk Enitwisle cautioned the ratepayers in the audience that considera- tion and recommendation on the proposed Townhouses for Ilobs Drive would take a week or two. He also stated' that the Planning Director George Howden had prepared a report. Also, -a letter to lrace Best, the bylaw en- forcement agent for the town, h)ad 'been- recewved on the m(atter, and that neither had âeen read or considered by the committee as of yet. Council- lor Fitwisle thlenallowed the delegation, memberýs from Hobbs Drive to present ebeir views., Fîrst to speak wàs Ain Johnston of 66 Hobbs Drive.

He went on to say, that :the îëal; éstate agent who sold him'*the bouse led him and others ike hîm to believe that the area toned for townhouses was te be a #reen belt erea. He told the coinmit- tee that he would like to se limited'dcvelopment in 'this area, semi-detache 'd or single units and in the case of townhouses hie wanted the number of units limited and that the residents have a say into thc layout of the complex. Mr. Job nston continued, saying there wcre twfo items in their favor. First, that a member of the delegation had been speaking to tjie Ganser- vation Authorîty (CLQCCA) who are in charge of thé flood plain around Soper Creek, and that landfill for the prâposal bad been put op the7 flood plain. Mr.,JoblistÔn cofttinued that it had been Iearned, that the Authority had taken Arm- strohg Homes to couft over the landfill, but that it had been thrown out of court on the grounds that therë was no sh company. Mr. Uobnston then asked the coMmîtteeý if they could give themn thé legal naine of the compaüy propos- ing to build the townhouses.. As well as, the landfill on the flood plain not bcing legal, Mr. Johnston stated that the other item working -in their -favor was that the town owried a road allowance right WtIough wbere the townhouses are to be built, this road al1qowance being Mearnis Ave. Mr. ,John- ston stated that theylshould have, some sy eh~ra allowancc belongngg- to .the townïî anid therefore, tO the people in the town. .. Gary -Sirove of 64 Hobbs Drive asked the commnittce if the were willing tone.,gotiate, witg the developer, usibg the road allowance as a bargain- ing point. He stated that. the town having the road allowan- ce had the power tô go after the developer- and cut' bim dawn. He then reiterated the disbelief of Mr. Johniston in having townhouses put âcross the rond fromt him. He added that there would be resênt- ment of people Who Byve in those townbouses whènu lbêy were built. John R.

Beaver leaders at rear are TomHili and erated two points that had been expressed te the last couincil meeting. Be stated that ne consideraltion had been given te the taffie congestion that would be increascd with the building of the townbouses and that tere had been a lack of concemn for facilities, one slide and a teeter totter in Soper Creek Park net making rnuch differ(nce in relation te. the number of homes in the tbmee developments in' this amea. Mm. O'Toole commented that hie was led to believe that the meeting would be run a little'more infermally then it was, and that individuals would be Igiven a chance te express their vicws. Be added "It's our homes." This com- ment was directed te an opening'emark of Councillor Entwisle that, four speakers would be allowed tei speak. Counciller Entwisle, at this p oint asked for a suggestion on wbat rond'lhe wouid like the cemmittce te f ollow. Mr. O'Toole then received a rund of applause whcn lbe stàtcd lbe would "like te sec us witb you, bnnteming witb the deëveloper" mrather than the residents bantering with the committee and tbe town. John Liptay, presidenit of the newly fommed Newcastle Ratepayers Association ad-I dresseId the committce and stated that they bad heMd an executive meeting and sup- port what was being expres scd by these residents. 1 J.D. Besso of 30 Deerpark Crescent again reiterated te the corn mittee the idea cx- pressed by the. first two speakers that lie had rnoved here te get away from the congestion of cîty life. Mrs. Diane Markle of 17 Deerpark Crescent nsked the cemmittee te explain wbat stage the development was in. B.D. Irvin of 3 Dcepnrk Crescent asked. the committee if theme was room in the scbools for the cbildmen tewn bouses would bring. Be stated tbat it. was bis belief that the sehools were filled to capacity now. At this point, George Bow- den gave a summary of wheme the propesal is, and its history. Be statcd that it dated back te 1968 whcn 'a draft plan for subdivision in the Bob bs Drive Amen was sent te the 0MB. The ministmy had asked for the Zoning of each parcel of land for a specific purpose. Mr. Bowden said that the arca in question was always zoned for townihouses. Be continued that a subdivison was passed by Bowmanville Council, it is Block C of Plan 698, the homes in wbicb the residents live. Be stated the land in question " was zoncd -for townbouses before any of you bought youm bouses there."' Recent bistry of the, pro- posed townbouses was outiin- ed in the fellowing manner by Mm. Bowden. Be'stntcd that the council last year found the proposal objectionable for a number of reasons. Be cited these easons, as the 44 driveways ente Bobbs Drive, ight behind a pmepesed shop- p ing centre at King and Simpson 'Avenue and the protrusion of the townhouse developrnent ente the flood plain. Mm. Bowden stated that council had passed an amend- ment te the bylaw limiting the cevemage the proposaI could take fmom 30 per cent te 20 per cent and stating that the develeper would have te enter into n site plan agreement1 with the town. Mmr.,Bowden reported that, the developer objcctcd -and the amendrncnt te the bylaw is Inow at the 0MB and is tbesubject of abceaming. Be added that it would be some tîime before a site plan agreement wouild be afttainèd, and that it would be imposs- ible te prevent townhouses on that land. Mm. O'Toole stated that theme weme 27 units poposed i that would be situntcd on the town's road alîowancc. Be askcd the commrittee if the rend nllow ance in any way ting a laugh fromn the aud- ience. B. Koller of 27 Morgandale Crescent asked the committee whetber the financial integ- rity of the developer was considercd. Mr. Howden e- plied that they couldn't invest- igate the bank account of a developer, but tbey did de- mand a performance'bond of 100 per Cent. This is in case the developer goes bankrupt, the town bas the money to finishý the services. >< Mr. Besso again asked that tbey know the developers legal name. Mr Bowden replied that the person who owns the land does not neccssarily build the project, and that the builder could change several times but the contract witb the town still appled to eacb new owner. The present developer could not b e identified at the meeting by members of the, committee. M.J. Wamboldtof 63 Hobbs Drive asked, whetber they would be notified of the 0M hearing on this proposal. The residents were told they would be notified and could attend. t will be held in Toronto. They wcre also told, the resuits would corne back te the commitee for a recommend- ation t.o council. MIUr. 'Toale asked - the~ commnittce whether' approval bas been obtained to, landfill on the flood plain near Soper Creek. Counillor Don Allia replied that the town does not give permission but the Con- servation can without approv- al of the t'own. Be cited the Holiday InninOshawa being built on the flood plain. George Howden commented that you "don't have to go that far, some of these people's bouses they're living in are in the flood plain." Stewart' Chisholmn of 9 Vic- toria Street asked the commit- tee if they tbought, the townbouse development would decrease the price of the homes. Mayor Gamnet Rickard re- plied "I tbink it will that's wbhy the develope e ls these bouses first.' The mayor continued, saying that the developers ali sound like- Santa Claus as they make their presentations. They nev- er quit, tbey just kcep on and on until they get wbat they want, then thcy scîl the best part of their proýect first bie said. Be added, 'It is a wiole business deal for tbemn and we end up with unhappy custort- ers." The Mayor explamned we can't take the townbouses out, tbcy are signed and approved by the people who live there. Be added, we have passed a bylaw to modify the present status. "We shouldtake the borns away from thé develop- er, and bave the municipality plan with input from, the people" hie stated. The mayor then made reference te the constant change of hands that most pmojects bave. When bie in- quired fmom Mm. Bowden bow many tirnes this projeet'had changed owners, Mr. Bowden stated lie believed it badn't. To a question fmom John Traill of 81 Hobbs Drive as to why the town could net refuse the road allowance, Mr- Bow- dcn epiid the ,developer clould build under the present conditions around the rond allowancc, and this was not the best we Icould do. The delegationasked for a show of bands frorn the committee of those wbo syrn- pathizcd witb them. The show of bands was five. Mr. Bowden told the delega- tien at the end that tbey should su pot the amendment te the bawnow at the 0MB, and Mr. Jobnston said hie would. Apartments in Waverly Gardens The discussion on the two apartment buildinigs proposed, by Soutbeast Building Corpor- ation for the northeast corner of Waverly Rond and Quinn Drive, began with the reading of a report pepared by Planning Director George Howden on the proposai.
