"I had a very tight time frame to move this company because of the plans for the building," Mr. Richardson Richardson explained. Any new location had to be available available within a month and no such facility facility could be found here on such short notice. The new owner adds that although he was not intending move operations out of Bowmanville, the 21,000 square foot facility that he obtained in Ajax had the advantage of being available immediately.

However, the SAGA spokesman was concerned about two specific issues which planning staff have been asked to consider before submitting a final report to council. Ms Guselle said the town's response to the recommendation of a temporary moratorium on development in the area was one of their concerns. The advisory committee recommended recommended a moratorium be imposed until until studies relating to ground water re-., sourcesi -wildlife and surface wa:br resources had been carried out in the area. ' Moreover, the committee recommended recommended Durham Region carry out these studies with the financial and technical support of the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Natural Resources. Durham Regional planning staff have proposed the Ganaraska be preserved preserved in the natural state until the studies have been completed. The planning staff with the Town of Newcastle Newcastle have agreed with the region's approach.

There are four applications for the area currently whicn thè town believes should be exempt from the moratorium, moratorium, SAGA believes the four applications (two gravel pits, a gas station and the Reid/Reynaert estate residential subdivision) subdivision) shouldn't be exempt from the moratorium. Ms Guselle said that if it is unclear about what should and should not be considered "then it should be in the moratorium." She said that if development in the area is considered premature "then all development should be premature." The second concern the committee had, dealt with the town's response to the advisory committee's view on conservation conservation authorities. .çomtnittee suggested the prov- \ivs\.consider how they qbiild give the authorities a stronger role in the planning planning process and in protecting against negative cumulative effects of development. development.

He asked that if the application went through that a high link fence be put up to stop people from crossing over. Eugene VanDeWalker, owner of the trailer park, is seeking to amend a Town of Newcastle by-law that will allow allow the park to remain in operation year round for 18 residential units. Mr. VanDeWalker had requested in September of last year to expand the park from 18 to 29 units and to change the park designation to year round use. Council at that time denied the request request and allowed Mr. VanDeWalker one year to comply with the zoning bylaws bylaws and site plan agreement initially entered into in 1981. It allowed 18 seasonal seasonal trailers. Mr. VanDeWalker said that over the past year, as lots became vacant at the site, he has left them unoccupied. He expects to be at the required limit of 18 sites by the end of the summer. A resident of the park, Shirley West, spoke to members of the general purpose and administration committee Monday in support of the application. She said she has lived at the park for nearly three years and admits that the fencing was poor when she first moved in but has since improved. Concerning people going on to Mr. Mostcrt's property, she said, a hotel is right next to the park and often the patrons of the hotel arc the ones on the property. The park, in general, now is bettor than when she first moved in, she added. added. Turn to Pago 2 PRESTON We Move It! 623-4433 Bowmanville
