The Canadian Statesman HJuAuUt*., Bowmanville, Saturday, May 22,1993 3 From Page One Mr. Bolahood pointed out he did not want to lose part of his property to a park because he would not be able to put as many units in as he would like to. But, Mr. Bolahood would not be the only landholder to be affected by the proposed park. Local property property owner, Bruce Moase, is seeking an alternative to the proposed park as well. However, Mayor Diane Hamre told the landowners and committee members the province wants to see a park in that area designated soon. Mr. Moase told the committee the property would be in "complete ruins" if the town persisted in positioning positioning a park in the area. Also, Mr. Moase pointed out "thç contours are not suitable for a park. It should go on more level land." Mr. Moase would lose three acres of his property to the proposed five acre park. The second property discussed is MRP Defends Budget From Page One ender on Thursday afternoon. While many people have been focusing focusing on the bad things from the budget, there are some good things too, Mr. Mills said. "There is no tax on small businesses" businesses" in this budget, the Durham East MPP said. This is because the provincial government recognizes that small businesses will help the province get through the recession, he said. And, although the civil service may not see this as a good thing, the provincial government is looking to cut 5,000 civil service jobs "by the end of . the fiscal year," Mr. Mills noted. Also, within the package of goodies is funding that is available to women's shelters which give support support and advocacy to abused women. women. " Examining the budget's bag of goodies for Ontario residents, Mr. Mills also talked about money to be spent on the environment. "The government has promised $30 million to the environment," he said. But, this is still the tip of the iceberg iceberg because there will be more things that will either be taxed and cut back or added to the goody list as the provincial government reveals reveals them. Mr. Mills told The Weekender that this is the first time the government government has reduced government spending since 1942. Also, "for every new dollar raised, we're saving four dollars," he said. north of the V-Plus Gas Station and Car Wash on the north-east comer of Highway Two and Townline Road and along Highway Two east, past Varcoe Road. This property's developer is Robert Robert Hann and he was present during the discussion led by two area residents. residents. First off the mark was Judy Campbell of Bridle Court. She told the committee she did not want to see a number of types of commercial businesses setting up shop at the planned plaza. Businesses Businesses such as assembly halls, taverns and private clubs would not be accepted accepted happily by those living nearby. nearby. Ms Campbell also stated that if a coin-operated laundromat goes in, the hours of operation should be kept specific. Basically, she did not want to see any type of business go into the plaza plaza if it would prompt loitering, noise, smells and vandalism. Speaking on behalf of neighbors on the court, Ms Campbell also told the committee "we want to keep ours a quiet and safe neighborhood." neighborhood." A Nash Road resident also has concerns about the plaza, and many of them were the same as Ms Campbell's, Campbell's, Greg Soyka told the committee. committee. However, he wanted to know if having a plaza so close to the Kings- way Plaza was economically feasible. feasible. Mr. Hann, the developer of the proposed shopping centre, told the committee he was willing to restrict some of the businesses that went into the centre. But, he was hesitant to rule out the possibility of a tavern . renting space in the plaza.'Tm a little little bit hesitant," Mr. Hann said. "Not because we don't agree, but in Pickering in our shopping centre there is a tavern operating. " He explained that the business operator there has been warned to monitor the behaviour of customers. As for related troubles including crime, Mr. Hann said, "crime is like housework - it just never stops." Regarding traffic patterns, he said the company would look at placing speed bumps in strategic spots. The cost of a privacy and noise reduction fence for the entire south side of Bridle Court residents should not rest on his shoulders alone, Mr. Hann pointed out. The proposed laneway would benefit not just the shopping centre but other businesses located north of Highway Two between Varcoe Road and Townline Road. The third property to be discussed discussed at Monday's public meeting is just east of Towline Road, south of Highway Two between Townline Road South and Darlington Boulevard. Boulevard. Currently, the property has 24,850 square feet of commercial development. Presently, a number of eating-establishments are located on the property. Joe Wood, representing Dinnerex Inc., told the committee he is looking looking for a rezoning of the property to allow other types of businesses into the buildings now there. Within the staff report from the planning department, it was noted that the company "has expressed difficulty in leasing floorspace to potential tenants because the current zoning limits the types of uses to special purpose commercial uses." If Dinnerex Inc. had a general commercial permit, Mr. Wood stated, stated, they could probably find tenants for the rest of the space that is now vacant. Mayor Hamre agreed with him when she stated, "Zoning would improve improve response." The Vincent Massey Public School team is tops in the Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle area.
