Regional Council ignores Newcastle pleas, vote for $5 million mall Ignoring the impassioned pleas from Newcastle coun- cillors, Durham Region council last week voted in favour of a large $5 million shopping mall in the south- ern part of the town of Bowmanville. The vote by Regional council carried a 17-10 margin, and was greeted by three Newcastle councillors with anger, dismay and bitterness. It came after Regional council had sperit almost four hours listening to agru- ments for and against the proposed mall of 165,000 square feet at Baseline and Waverly Roads in Bow- manville. The vote by Regional council last week clears the way for an amendment to the Durham Official Plan to allow construction of the mall by Jerry Sprackman of Pythbow Development, who owns similar projects in Durham including the Five _ Points Mall in Oshawa and the shopping centre just south of Uxbridge. However, the issue is far from resolved, as there were hints from the opposing members of Newcastle council that there may be objections to the Ontario Municipal Board. The vote to clear the way for the Official Plan amend- ment flies in the face of recommendations from the Region's planning depart- ment, staff reports from the municipality of 'Newcastle, the wishes of a strong major- ity on Newcastle council, and business associations in both Bowmanville and Orono, who fear that construction of the mall will lead to further deterioration of what is already an unhealthy commiercial climate in Bow- manville and area. The decision last week is one of the more poignant examples in recent years where the wishes of the area council and local business people have been rejected by the full Durham council. _ Just two weeks prior to the vote by Durham council on June 9, there had been numerous delegations in front of council from the business community in New- castle arguing strenguously $9559595555595955395955535959953955395$53355555353535335353383533888833s8s8s88 against the proposed shopping mall. Council defended the issue at that time. -However, last week, council heard strong argu- ments from developer Jerry Sprackman who said he has received a commitment for a 60,000 square foot Zellers Store and a letter of intent from the A and P store to re-locate off the main street in Bowmanville. Also included in the plans for the mall are an additional 20 stores of about 2000 square feet each, half of them already existing in Bowman- ville and area. Mr. Sprackman told council the construction of the mall would generate many jobs, there would be some 250 jobs created by the stores, and the mall would pay $225,000 a year in commercial taxes. He also told council he is prepared to give Durham Region a $350,000 letter of credit for new sewer services if it is necessary for the mall to hook into the new sewage treatment plant in "Bowmanville, The issue of that treatment plant seemed to be the underlying reason why a majority of Regional coun- cillors decided to ignore the recommendations and vote for approval of the mall. The plant, constructed at a cost of $9 million, has not been put in operation be- cause of lack of development in the Newcastle area. Durham paid half the cost with the province paying the remainder. During the debate on the issue last week, both Oshawa Mayor Allan Pilkey and councillor Bruce McArthur made references to. the treatment plant, mothballed the day after construction ended, and suggested that the Region as a whole has a vested interest in local development issues in New- castle. There has been the sugges- tion that if the shopping mall 'gets the green light, it could spur housing developments in the immediate area which in turn would mean utiliza- tion of the treatment plant.
