2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 21, 1976 Open Conservation Area Activity Centre M'offatt Ex plains Need for Controis to Canadian Club Mike Novak, left, and his daughter Marianne, right, chat with Durham East MPP Doug Moffatt and Men's Canadian Club member Merv Kelly following last Wednesday's meeting of the club. Mr. Moffatt was guest speaker for the occasion while the Novaks provided some fine entertainment, Mike on the saxophone and Marianne on the accordian. Town of Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard, centre, is seen here with Edgar James, right, representative from Darlington township on the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and Les Coombes, a provincially appointed representative on the authority. The occasion was the official opening on Saturday of the new conservation area activity centre near Enniskillen. Off ers Town (From page one) The basis of the intent is that the firm would prefer to grant the sum to the town than to lose it through "unrecover- able carrying charges which inevitably become the respon- sibility of the consumer." In that light, Mr. Milani stressed to council the urgen- cy that "if official plan changes are not initiated, within 60 days, this $3-millîon grant is in jeâpardy." Mr. Milani granted council assurance of the firm's sincer- it inguaranteeing our offer ofthe $3-milhion capital grant. However, you also, as eected representatives of the Munici- pality of Newcastle, tave a grave responsibility. You must deci'de, within 60 days, whether you will or will not safeguard the capital grant from being consumed by interest carrying charges." An outline of the firm's intended oals to be achieved by the in ustrial and residen- tial development of the area includes development of 100 acres of industrial land and provision of services to the same, "without cost to the municipality," and "to build immediately a 50,000 square foot industrial building to accommodate light, non- obnoxious industry, for rental or purchase at a reasonable price." The goals as explained by Mr. Milani Monday would also afford opportunities for a mixture of economic housing types, provide employment opportunities in Bowmanville related to the housing and industrial development, con- struction of an industrial park for purchase or rental of space. If required, provisions would be made for a pollution control plant and the site for it. Pre-sewering of the develop- ment would take place, and "on a temporary basis, septic tanks used until such time as sanitary facilities are avail- able. " Finally, the arrangement would allow industrial lands to be sold or rented either by the f irm or by the Regional Industrial Commission, "at a controlled, reasonable price." The conditions under which the town would receive the $3-million offer from Milani and Milani Holdings would' require approval being given to the proposal for develop- ment of housing to accommo- date from 8,000 to 10,000 people, within the Bowman- ville West Community Project lands, at a ratio of three acres of residential land for every one acre of industrial land. Second of the requirements would be that approval would be given for the development of the industrial land. The firm would "lend up to 3 million dollars, as reauired, for the construction of a) sanitary and water facilities, b) sanitary water and drain- age trunk lines, c) recreation facilities, care centres, of a public nature which will enefit Newcastle but more particularly Bowmanville," and finally for the "extension of existing sanitary facilities if needed." Mr. Milani went on to explain that "we will convert the $3-million loan into an outright grant, in a partial discharge manner, each time a building permit or permits are issued. Discharge same pro-rated to family units, the number of family units to be determined when the overall plan is in draft approved form ut not necessarily regis- tered. " Further, according to Mr. Milani's explanation of the conditions, the firm "will not convert as a grant any money advanced to the Region or the Municipality of Newcastle for the purposes of building facili- ties as described in para- graphs a) and b) above, if the regional government of Dur- ham is responsible for such a cost." The requests which the committee will be faced with considering next meeting, wbich would require changes in the official plan, includes 60 acres of industrial land south of the Base Line Road. Additionally, there would be 20 acres south of 401 for development of disposal facili- ties, if necessary, 30 acres to be set aside for use as either industrial or housing develop- ment, "whichever need is advantageous," north of the- Baseline and 200 acres for housing development, "in con- formity with our aforemen- tioned offer of a three million dollar grant." Considering Mr. Milani's noted urgency that they must decide on the matter within 60 days, Coun. Ann Cowman moved that council consider the proposal within the next 10 days. This was followed by REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM PLANNING &DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE Off iciai Plan of the Regional Municipality of Durham PUBLIC MEETING Thurs. ian. 29 7:30 p.m. Bowmanville H igh School The purpose of this meeting is to present Stage 4 of the Officiai Plan of the Durham Region, "A Draft Proposal For Durham Region" to the Council and the public of the Town of Newcastle.

Clark Mason, Chairman Wm. F. H. McAdams, Commissioner councils decision near the end of Monday afternoon's session to do so as part of the next Committee of the Whole meeting. Ne w Fire Hal (From page one) ing, council did not approve the consulting firm's recom- mendations, feeling that the job could be done a great deal cheaper. An appr.oximate estimate of $15,000 was pulled out of the air which along with the $120,000 purchase price of the former Carveth Motors Gar- age and contingency allow- ance, resulted in the'issue of debentures for a total of $140,000. Coun. Ann Cowman, being chairman of the Community Services Committee, reported to council Monday that the $30,867 figure had been calcu- lated at a recent meeting with the consultants at the new hall. The cost includes the car- pentry, plumbing, wiring sand blasting and new, electri- call operate overhead doors onL tfwo front and'one side entrance to the building. Coun. Cowman advised council when asked by Coun. Ivan Hobbs, if all the work was immediately necessary or could be spread over a period of time, that the only item she could recommend removing at all would be the electric operation of the overhead doors at a cost of $1,685. Agreeing with the opinion of Coun. Bruce Tink, however, council, approved the full amount, including the electric door operation!. Fire Chief Jim Hayman has previously re- commended the electric oper- ation as being preferable to manual due to a safety feature preventing the doors from allin if one of the springs shoul break. In the event of a power failure they can also be operated manually. The portion of the building which is not included in the $30,867 is the upper storey apartment whicb Coun. Cow- man advised is in extremely poor condition. She ,estimated that it will run in the neighborhood of $5,000 to properly renovate the apartment, which had not been included in the cost estimate. Mayor Garnet Ric- kard felt that as the cost of renovating the apartment is only recoverable through rent- ing it, "the sooner it is done the sooner the rent comes in." Further on the matter of the new doors, Coun. Kirk Entwi- sle expressed the belief that the doors were supposed f0 bave been satisfactory when the building was purchased and now suddenly they have to be replaced., Village Chief Fred Glan- ville, present at Monday's session, advised that there is only some four inches total clearance in the width of the doors for the widest portion of the trucks. Coun. Hobbs was further "unhappy with this way of doing business" with respect to the debenture bylaw havin previously been passed based on the estimate of $15,000 for renovations. Coun. Don Allia, expressed thaf if is merely a situation wherefthe former estimnate fell short of what is actually going to be entailed. In that regard, be said it is a simple situation where the debenture amount must either be increased or the additional cost assumed in the 1976 taxes. MPP Moffatt (From page one) build subdivisions on any piece of land. The followers of this trend only ask for a quick way to build houses and make money, he said.
