I 14 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, June 29,1994 Residents Cool to Details of Official Plan Silver Medal for Durham Student by Lorraine Manfredo Local land use plans, as outlined in the inch-thick draft Official Plan, didn't win any rave reviews from, the 50 or so residents gathered at the Bowmanvillc Recreation Complex last Tuesday night. After a half-hour summary of the document's contents by Director of Planning Frank Wu, the mayor and councillors listened as opponents of proposed zoning plans took turns pointing out flaws. Criticism was raised against: - delayed servicing of lands destined destined for future residential use north of Concession 3, east of Regional Road 57 - the extension of urban growth into green space east of the Bow- manville Creek lands, south of the Goodyear plant - proposed industrial!use at the West Side Creek Marsh Assurances demanded that there would be opportunities for adjustments in five years. Apple farmer Kirk Kemp was first to voice his concern. As owner of 32 hectares north of Concession 3, Kemp feared a "green space" classification for a portion of his orchard orchard which runs north along Middle Middle Road, as well as provisions for a proposed school, might prevent him from building on his land for an entire entire generation. He demanded assurances that, even if the proposed zoning were approved, there would be opportunity opportunity to apply for adjustments in five years. Mr. Kemp is one of four land- owners making up the Northbrook Planning Group, formed in 1989, to advance development of holdings north of Concession 3, east of Regional Regional Road 57 and west of Liberty Street. These areas were designated in a 1976 Official Plan as areas for future development. Mario Veltri, also speaking on behalf of Northbrook Planning Group, told council that he had bought land on the northeast comer of Regional Road 57 and Concession Concession on the understanding that it could be developed within a reasonable reasonable time. Veltri feared restrictions ' in the current draft plan might prevent prevent him from budding until the year 2011. Another representative of the Northbrook group, Bob .Carruthers, stated that the group had already invested invested significant capital in anticipation anticipation of building. The group has posted posted letters of credit in the amount of $334,000 to establish sanitary sewer lines in 1990, he told council. Already, Already, more than $176,000 has been spent to prepare the land for further servicing. Carruthers would like to see the New President for G.M. of Canada From Page One make an outstanding contribution in leading the company forward. "She is recognized outside the organization for her leadership on key public policy and business issues, issues, and has played an important role in creating positive changes within the organization. She will bring a balanced perspective to complex issues, a commitment to the continued development of the GM of Canada team, and will sharpen the focus of .the entire organization organization on the customer." Kcmpston Darkes joined the General Motors of Canada Limited legal staff in 1975, and became assistant assistant counsel in 1979. She was appointed vice president, president, corporate affairs in 1991 and was elected to the board of directors. directors. In addition to the corporate affairs affairs responsibilities, Kcmpston Darkes was appointed general counsel in July, 1992 and became secretary to the board of directors.

Failing Failing that, he'd like to receive written assurances that zoning plans would be open for review every five years. Also under attack was wording in the draft Official Plan that leaves the door open for St. Marys Cement to pursue quarrying on its land at West Side Creek Marsh. Cove Road resident Gordon White pressed council to strengthen its stand against such use of the Class II marsh. At present, the draft plan "encourages" "encourages" SL Marys to explore other other options for quarrying. "In other areas of the plan, stronger words are used, such as in relation to protecting the headwaters of the Ganaraska," White said. He suggested municipal officials pressure the provincial Environment Minister to take action to preserve the marsh. Leah Houston, spokesperson for a youth group opposed to St Marys Cement's quarrying application, invited invited the councillors and mayor to join her group in a protest at Queen's Park. Presenting additions to an earlier petition to save the marsh, Houston said: "We are not asking you to be scientists. We are asking you to be politicians and listen to the thousands thousands of constituents who are urging you to protect the marsh." Houston had collected the signatures of 1,308 residents opposed to quarrying the marsh as of last Tuesday, June 21. Another Port Darlington resident, Dave Ashcroft, spoke in favor of allowing allowing improvements to existing properties at the lakefront. The plan encourages St. Marys to explore other options for quarrying "If no building permits are issued, issued, then we will see a gradual decline decline similar to what has occurred at other waterfront communities and that would be a shame," he said. "Appropriate expansion should be allowed. Don't totally close the door." . , Marc Battle and two other south Bowmanvillc residents spoke against zoning which would allow housing development in the Bow- manville Creek area north of Baseline Baseline Rd., between Hunt Street and Spry Ave. Mr. Battle said the land had great potential for a park and that neighborhood neighborhood residents had rallied in the past to clean up the site. He said the creek area .should be preserved as major open space. Rick Dankmeyer and Lance Thornton suggested later that the Official Plan map was misleading in showing how close the residcntially- zoned area actually came to the river river bank. Council will accept public input regarding the draft Official Plan until until October 30th. Mayor Hamre reminded reminded the residents that, the document document was still in draft stage and subject subject to modification. She expects municipal approval to come by January January 1995, at which point the Region's Region's approval would be sought.. . Addressing those who had spoken spoken in defence of the West Side Creek Marsh, Mayor Hamre said that because the province's Aggregate Aggregate Act has precedence over the Wetlands Act in this case, the council's council's hands were tied. The mayor also noted Clarington council will hold firm on prohibiting aggregate extraction in the Oak Ridge Moraine, and will also stick by its intention to permit industry to establish ahead of 20-year limits in appropriately zoned areas.
