Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 23, 1979 5 Japanese CÂanadian Centremm C'lears Panning Hurdie Believing residents' concerns can be resolved through the rezoning process, the town's planning commit- tee voted to tell the Region it has no objection to Lot 18 con- cession 5 in Clarke township being used for a cultural centre and recreational area. The resolution to that effect must npw go to council for ratification. The Japanese Cultural Centre headquarters in Don Mills has applied to the Region for an Official Plan amend- ment. It wants the designation for 272 acres east of Orono changed from agricultural and permanent agricultural to recreational to permit oper- ation of a year-round activity centre. The proposed site is located on the north side of Sommerville Road on Part of Lots 17, 18 and 19 Concession 5, Clarke township. The maixi focus of activity will be on the site's central area (Lot 18). The surround- ing acreage will be devoted to farming and campsites. At a recent public meeting, residents raised several con- cerns about the conceptual plan. They dealt with the location and number of camp- sites, the feasibility and im- pact of creating ponds and the potential traffic upon existing roads. Some wondered if it was necessary to redesignate the entire site to recreational purposes. Planning director Don Smith said in a report to the committee May 14 that he feels all these concerns can be resolved through a site plan agreement required as a condition of rezoning and "staff feel that the proposal would be of major benefit to the town of Newcastle". The Japanese Canadian Cul- tural Centre would be request- ed to submit detailed site plans which would alleviate the public's concerns and those of various regulating agencies. At that time a further public meeting would, be held. Councillor Keith Barr and Mayor Garnet Rickard said they would like the Japanese Cultural Centre to draw up these plans and hold another public meeting before council informs the Region it has no objection to the project. Councillor Barr said, "the project is excellent and should proceed as long as all matters are resolveable but we should think this is the time to say we have no objections.". He and the Mayor both agreed the Japanese Canad- ians should go back to the people now with a refined proposal showing how they've responded to residents' con- cerns. Smith said the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre is unwilling to spend money preparing detailed plans when they have no indication as to whether or not they'll be allowed to proceed with their project. Ken Hawkins, representing the Cultural Centre, said the Japanese Canadians just want to know if the town wants them or not. If it does they will "Bend over backwards" to alleviate all concerns. Smith reiterated that specific land use details will be worked out during the rezoning process and a public meeting will be held at that time. In addition, people who object to the project are free to go to the Region's planning committee and regional council to voice their concerns. Planning committee chair- man Ann Cowman reminded committee members, "This is purely a political question. Do you want the Japanese people trotting down to Clarke town- ship every Saturday and Sunday or not?" The Town of Newcastle will be furthering its fire protection with the completion of Fire Station Number Four. The new station is located on Trull's Road in Courtice, one mile north of Highway Two. This 1979 G.M.C. Pierreville Pumper at left will be stationed at Hall Four. The truck can carry 600 gallons of water and can pump 840 gallons per minute.
