2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 19, 1979 Ftd Sewag e P lntFunds From Pageli pointed out that if the plant were funded through conventional methods, it would have a price tag of $25 to $27 million. This sort of, cost would make it impractical to build a new water pollution control plant in the town for another 15 to 20 years he suggested. Supporters of the Bowmanville project argued at last Thursday's finance committee meeting that the sewage treatment plant is a necessary link in the chain of services needed for the development of Bowmanville. "If we're flot going to stagnate Newcastle ... we should go through with this commitment on these funds," said Regional Chairman Walter Beath.

He noted that the new sewage treatment plant would help to accomplish this goal and also provide services for industry. Mr. Silgailis, the regional engineering director, confirmed that there is only enough sewage capacity in Bowmanville at the present time to accommodate about 300 additional residents. In addition, Mr. Silgailis noted that the town has already had an expansion at its water treatment plant. Delaying the sewageà plant expansion would cause an imbalance between the water and sewer services, he said. The engineering director also noted that the new plant is needed to serve industrial land south of Highway 401.

" Grant Robertson, a Cobourg architect who studied buildings and facilities at the Pine Ridge site, estimated that it would take $2 million to make all of the buildings fully-usable by the municipality. His inventory of the Pine Ridge site listed 19 structures, some of them over 50 years old. "The costs of rehabilitating selected buildings as outlined by the Grant Robertson study, would appear to be prohibitive," municipal staff said. "In addition, the site is physically removed from the centre of the present and future population concentrations; would detract from the effective revitalization of the Bowmanville main central area, and is contrary to provincially approved planning policies contained in the Durham Region Officiai Plan." The discussion paper advocates a return to agricultural uses at the Pine Ridge site. This would mean that buildings now standing would be either demolished or shut down. Councillor Ivan Hobbs suggested at Tuesday's meeting that any decision on the future of the Pine Ridge School revolves around whether or not the Province of Ontario wi]l charge the town market value prices for the 105 acre site. The Bowmanville councillor said that from what he has seen, there are indications that Newcastle will have to pay market value., "If that is stili in effect, I suggest to you that council is just whistling dixie because there's no way that this council can buy it at market value," Councillor Hobbs stated.. Councillor Hobbs agreed that "if the price is right I think we should have a look at it. " However, although Newcastle's staff is unenthusiastic over the Pine Ridge development, many members of council hold other opinions. 1"We have to have this (the Pine Ridge School) for the future," said Councillor Bill Clarke. "Regardless of what it costs, we're neyer going to get it any cheaper," he said. The ward three councillor pointed out that the land provides the municipality with a unique opportunity not available in other towns. Councillor Keith Barr suggested that a central area for the Town of Newcastle should have been developed in the beginninig when the province imposed its regional government system. And the councillor suggested that the p rovince ought to have paid for this kind of community centre. "This could be a showplace," he saîd in describing the potential for Pine Ridge. Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard seemed to. favor some, form of municipal involvement in the Pine Ridge Property. Referring to the building at the site, he said that they are better than many of the buildings out of which the town is now operating. In reply to the idea of returning the property to agricultural uses, he stated that the tract of land where the school buildings are located has neyer been good agricultural property. "In my opinion, that's not a concept at ahl," he said. Mayor Rickard suggested that public opinion is in favor of development at the Pine Ridge School. He said he has heard from dozens and dozens of citizens saying the town should acquire the land and hasnot received any comments in opposition. Mayor Rickard also claimed that no one is looking- seriously at a future cemetery site for Newcastle. Pine Ridge could provide such a site, he said. Councillor Ann Cowman stated that from a theoretical point of view, the Pine Ridge property should be developed. "Theoretically it's fantastic", she said. Iowever, the ward one councillor also posed the question "What do we need it for?" The councillor suggested that she would not support renovations at Pine Ridge because of the costs involved and agreed with the staff recommendations. Councillors learned at yesterday's meeting that there's little hope of the municipality obtaining the 99 acre haîf of the Pine Ridge property located east of Lamb's Rd. The Province of Ontario has other plans for this property, but Mayor Rickard said that he is not a liberty to say what those plans might be. Newcastle's councillors agreed yesterday to ask for more financial data on the project at a special meeting to be held January 8. Councillors want a comparisonof the cost of renovating the Pine Ridge property with other alternatives for providing municipal' facilities in Newcastle. Council must make its views on Pine Ridge known to the Province, of Ontario by mid-January. ... ... ....... LE lfEJ f 7 )f.LE.
