The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 6,1974 Residentil Zoned Land Advertised Commercial The land near the Darling- ton Oshawa townline which is advertised commercial pro- perty for rent is actually zoned residential, says the Chair- man of Newcastle's Planning Advisory Committee Kirk En- twisle. Councillor Entwisle ex-, plained that the land across the street from the Oshawa Motel on Hwy. 2 is already graded and large enough for a shopping centre, however no one has applied to the town to change the zoning of the land' and without this no building permits can be issued. Further shopping centre development in Newcastle is limited by the proposed in- terim district plan presently being worke don by the planning advisory committee. "It irritates me that some- one is advertising land as commerçial that isn't," Coun- cillor Entwisle said "but it's not illegal as far as the town is concerned. "We will not issue any commercial building per- mits until the property is properly zoned," he added. The sign on the land is a W. Frank real estate sign. The previous owners of the property had applied to coun- cil for permission to build a shopping centre there, but had been told to return with proper reports from the highway department, the health unit and a feasibility study on the area But they had never returned to council. Pigeon Keeper Needs Building Permit for Existing Portable Loft Frank Waterfall of 647 Sunset Blvd., in the Village of Newcastle, approached New- castle Town Council Monday night about getting a building permit for his already con- structed pigeon loft. Mr. Waterfall for some time has kept and raced pigeons and not too long ago he constructed a portable loft in his backyard. He learned in the local newspaper that a building permit was needed for it and approached the town's building department about getting one. He was refused on the ground that he was not allowed to keep domestic fowl in the village. Mr. Waterfall told council that racing pigeons were not classified as domestie fowl. He added that the pigeons were never loose and the loft is cleaned daily. He owns 40 pigeons. The application for a build- ing permit was referred to the next Finance Committee meeting, with a request for the town's bylaw enforcement agent to report to the meeting on the matter. Councillor Ivan Hobbs add- ed that "if this gentleman gets results, (in obtaining the permit) I know where he can get all kinds of pigeons." Ifaving Problems (From Page One) gal and engineering fees. Since Morsyd Investments bought the land and hence the subdivision agreement from Bowtown, council contends that they are legally respons- ible. However, Morsyd's at- torneys point out that one clause of the new site plan cancels all previous liabilities. The Finance Committee de- cided to advise manager Morley Watson of P.U.C. not to sign the new site plan agreement (this final signa- ture would make the agree- ment legally binding) until the bill has been paid. Newcastle Sewers According to Coun. Don Wearn, Kilbourn Engineering made a mistake in the elevation of the sewer mains in the village of Newcastle. Two or possibly four homes in the village do not have enough "fal" to be able (o use the sewer uines. Coun. Wearn feels that it is unfair that these people will have to pay taxes for sewers which they cannot possibly use without purchas- ing an expensive pumping station. Meetingsare planned with Kîlbourn Engineering to attempt to straighten out the problem and assess the dam- ages where they belong. Lycett Street Lot For Sale The Finance Committee has indicated that they would receive offers for the sale of a lot on Lycett Street in Bow- manville which the town has held for a road allowance. The owners of the two adjoining properties have been inform- ed that one half of the lot could be purchased for $7,500. The Separate School Board, own- ers of the property west of the lot in question, have indicated interest but Mr. and Mrs. D. Mott, owners, of the eastern adjoining property have not yet indicated any interest in the scheme. They will be contacted by registered letter and given 30 days to reply to the town's offer. Council Appoints (From Page One) services and facilities of the neighborhood. This is then followed up by the Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program (RRAP) which pro- vides funds for the rehabilita- tion of housing stock. NIP is administered as a joint Fed eral Provinical program with funding, Federal 50 per cent, Provincial 25 per cent, and Municipal 25 percent. While councillors asked questions about improving municipal services through the program, councillor Ken Lya l expressed his total disgust with it so far as Newcastle is concerned. He told council he could see these planners coming up with NIP and then with Rap, but "to me it's all NUTS". Councillor Lyall added let's forget about this and come up with something the town needs. Mayor Rickard commented that he would encourage council to take advantage of te Mayor Rickard commented that he would encourage cotincil to take advantage of the program. Already Action Housing is being studied for Courtice, Bowmanville and Newcastle, however there are other areas such as Orono, Newtonville, Hampton, etc. to be considered. Dense Fog (From Paqe One) Four children, Terry Web- ster, Monica Skinner, Debbie Langstaff and Gail Youngman were x-rayed for possible injuries. Gail Youngman was then admitted treated and released sometime over the weekend. The other 22 children and driver, Ewart Robinson, 59, of R. R. 1, Newtonville were treated for headaches and tension resulting from the accident. Twenty three of the children on the bus attend Clarke High School and the other Kiiby Central School. An OPP spokesman said a second car collided with the Charlebois car almost im- mediately after the first accident, but apparently Irene Wilkinson, 58, of 445 Elm Rd., Toronto, the driver of the car, was not injured. Further up the highway, a southbound car driven by Marian Tennant, 46, of R. R. 1 Orono, stopped by the acci- dent was involved in a collision with a pick-up truck driven by Fredrick Winn 71, of Kendal. Mrs. Tennant was taken to Bowmanville Memorial Hos- pital with head lacerations treated and released. A hospital spokesman said a passenger in one of the cars, Neisha Neil, was also treated for back injuries and released. Traffic on the highway south and northbound was slowed to a crawl as a result of the accident and the fog. Farther south on the high- way, James Taylor, 31 of 63 Dentonia Park Toronto was injured when his truck rolled over. On Tuesday, Oct. 28, 1924, Frederick Sidney Luxton and Donelda Winnifred Couch were united in marriage by Rev. William Henry Spargo, minister of Methodist Church, Bowmanville, On Saturday, Oct. 26, 1974 they celebrated their 50th anniversary by holding Open House in the Memorial Park clubhouse from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.' The hall was tastefully decorated with gold bells and white and yellow streamers, Council Refuses (Turn to Page Two) that the Darlington Gener- ating Station would be a 3,000 MWe nuclearstation consist- ing oftour, 75 0 MWe' CANDU units. He went on (o say this project was reviewed, along with several others in the Hydro Board in the spring of 1974. The Board's report, issued on August 30, 1974, notes that a reduction in capital demand and an increase in operating and maintenance experience with 750 MWe CANDU units could possibly be gained if the nuclear plant proposed for the Bowmanville site were delay- ed and preceded by a fossil fired plant. He concluded by stating -1 arn awaiting Hydro's comments on this aspect of the Energy Board's Report. Councillor Kirk Entwisle told council prior to the unanirous vote in favor of the resolution, "We intend to stand behind this, and show Hydro they have no support from us for this at al.' He also called for an inquiry into the proposal that would expropriate hundreds of acres for the proposed 3,000 MWe (Mega-Watts of electricity) nuclear station. C of C Requests (From Page 0ne) Councillor Kirk Entwisle suggested that the chamber members attend a finance committee meeting, remind- ing council that they had asked the developers Milani and Milani Holdings Ltd. and Underwood Mclellan and As- sociates Ltd. to come to a finance meeting (o discuss a site plan agreement. Council- lor Entwîsle expressed bis concern that at this time the developer of the King Simpson Shopping Centre could get a building permit. and if the toxxn chose (o refuse (hem a permit, (bey could probably get a writ of mandamus. Municipal Clerk Joe Mcl- roy informed council that so far the developer had not accepted the council's invita- tion. It was decided after sur_ mounting the hurdle of when to hold this meeting, that the meeting by held in the New Town Hall on Friday, Novem- ber 15 at 9 a.nt and that the developer be invited The meeting \xill be open to the public M ----- m SCHOOL ELECTIONS Not (00 nîucb excitement lias been apparent overmthe forthcoming election of trus- tees to Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Educa- tion, although nominations open tomorrow and continue until next Tuesdav.
