The Newcastle Planning Advisory Committee voted to postpone a decision on an application for a subdivision on lots 19 and 20, Concession seven in Darlingtor: at a meeting on March 8th, 1976. The committee delayed the decision on whether to allow a subdivision to be built on the land until a study being done on hamlets has been complet- ed and until the owner of the land, A. R. Gobeen, makes a request to have the land rezoned for estate residential housing. Although Mr. Goheen and the lawyer who represented him, J. C. Victor, said the land would be uniquely suited for a subdivision, there were con- flicting opinions within the committee. The report prepared by Newcastle Planning Director, Maple Grove The Maple Grove W.I. met in the C.E. Hall on March 8th at 89p.m. After the Opening Ode and repeating the Lord's Prayer in unison, Mrs. H. Presçott read a poem on "Plants". The Girls 4-H Achievement Day on Leisure Garments will be on April 3rd at Bowman- ville High School. A 'Food Forum' on 'Round the World Dining' will be held at Maple Grove on March 18th from 7:30 - 9:30 when the public is invited. The year's reports are to be done on three copies with all information provided by Mrs. S. Doyle and ready for the April meeting. Mrs. H. Bradley and Mrs. W. Brown agreed to be the nominating committee. Mrs. W. Brown gave the Good Neighbours report. t was decided to give $5 to the 4-H Leaders for the Girl's Work for Achievement Day. It was agreed to cater to a dinner for the 25th Wedding Anniversary for Mr. and Mrs. H. Vandergaast on April loth. Mrs. W. Polak, convenor of Agriculture, was in charge of the following program. Mrs. H. Prescott gave the Motto 'Everything bas its beauty, but not everyonesees it. She said for example, there is beauty of nature, snow on trees and a rose but do we all see beauty in a snake or a worm? If we take a closer look there is beauty in everything. Perhaps, we are inclinedbto judge people like a snake but we must try to understand. Everything and everyone bas its beauty for anyone who cares to see it. Mrs. W. Polak introduced Mr. Van Belle of Van Belle's Garden Centre who spoke on the Nursery Business. He told of how nurseries first started and then about 1955 there were several Garden Centres. These centres keep a variety of thingssotbat the home gardener can get all his needs at one place. As well he told of others who specialize in green plants, roses etc. There was a question period afterwards. All members had brought a plant, or floral arrangement that they had made them- selves and Mr. Van Belle picked out four that he liked and narrowed it down to one. This belonged to Mrs. Wm. Laird and Mrs. Polak pre- sented her with a small prize. Mrs. Polak thanked Mr. Van Belle for coming to us to speak and to judge the plants and Mrs. Eric Burke presented him with a decorated Easter cake made by Mrs. Polak. Meeting closed with the repeating of the 'Collect' in unison. George Howd4n, states that the proposed subdivision does not comply with the Town of Newcastle's policies for estate residential development. In the report, the Ministry of AgriculturestatesMthat the 60-65 acres proposed for the subdivision is land that would vary from a class one to a class three designation and that the area would be capable of future agriculture use. The report also uses quotes frpm the Internim District Plan to support the opinion that the land sbould not be converted into a subdivision. One quote from the Interim District Plan states that "estate residential develop- ment should take place where the soil capability for agricul- ture is rated in the C L I as class seven." In the report, Mr. Howden points out that the proposed subdivision would not comply with the Interim District Plan because the land bas been rated as a one to tbree designation and is not an area that permits residential hous- ing to be built on it. Mr. Goheen first made an application to build a subdivi- sion in the proposed area in 1973 but just recently brought the attention of the committee back onto the issue. Committee chairman Kirk Entwisle asked Mr. Goheen if he was asking for the approval of the Planning Advisory Committee for his proposal before the Ministry of Housing and Regional Council gave their decisions on the pro- posal. Mr. Victor told the commit- tee that his client wanted to know their opinion of the subdivision proposal and wbether they would approve it wben tbey were given the decision to allow or veto it. Mr. Entwisle told Mr. Go- heen and his lawyer that the area would have to be rezoned from ar agricultural area to estate residential or an amendment would have to be made to the official plan permitting a development in the proposed area. The committee moved to have the application tabled untîl the bamiet study, pre- sently in the stage of develop- ment, is finished and until the committee had advice on the deserve to pay less for car and fire insurance They do at Abstainers Because our experience has shown that abstainers have fewer accidents, fewer home fires.
