Chre ives Lcst Min ute Go Ahead fo Construction of Controversicl Mobile Homes Afler months of examina- lion and bickering Clarke townsbip council Wednesday, Dec. 19 passed a motion 10 amiend the official plan of the Clarke Planning area and perm it the development of lwo mnobile home retirement com- mniies ini the municipality. The decision was made only two weeks before the dissolu- tioni of Clarke Township coun- cil, which will be replaced by the municipal council of the Newcastle area in the Durham region. This first amendment 10 the official plan came afler a lwo-day session wherein coun- cil met witb representatives from Rice Construction, who plan 10 develop a 1,000 unit mnobile home community wesî of Newcastle, and wilh Dur- bamn Retirement Home Park who plan a similar community west of the Wesieyville area, in the south-east corner of Clarke. 'Fle amendment was passed by a vote of lhree 10 two afler the three readings. Reeve Ted Woodyard carr'ied the vote VIRTUE FUELS TYRONE R. R. 5 - Bowmanville PHONE 263-8431 along with Councillor Charles Reid, who made the motion, and Councillor Robert Chaler, who seconded the motion. Bolh deputy-reeve Kirk Ent- wisle and Councillor Gerritt Heykoop, who have long been againsl the projects, voted againsl the motion. A controversial issue that arose during the two-day session was the question of a public hearing. Since the petitions came before councîl in early dune no public hearing bas been held. Planning consultant Robert Fonger introduced the idea of a public hearing following bis presentation 10 council. Dep- uly-reeve Entwisle beartily agreed with Mr. Fonger. Mr. Fonger said, "The basic prînciple here is the creation of lwo communities without knowing whether or not full services will be available for these communilies". To Ihis Reeve Woodyard said that the communities xvould not be there for a few years and that they wouldn't exist without full services. Deputy-reeve Entwisle once more mainlained that public approval had not yet been garnered. Councillor Reid then bold Mr. Enlwisle and the rest of council thal il was the responsibility of the minister (of Economies and Inter- governmental Affairs) 10 give final approval. E. R. Lovekin, attorney for Rice Construction, pointed out that the planning board could have asked for a public hearing months ago, but didn't. "Under the termas of refer- ence", he added, "if a public hearing was required aI the preliminary stage the onus was on lhem (the planning board) 10 stage a public hearing". Charles Ewert, an associate of Mr. Lovekin stated thal il was up 10 the minister's discretion 10 caîl for a public bearing. Mr. Lovekin backed him up by referring 10 the statutes of the Planning Act. Lou Rice, of Rice Construc- lion also opted 10 leave the decision of a public bearing 10, the minister.. "I disagree", said Deputy- reeve Enlwisle. "We should nol try 10 pusb sometbing like Ibis tbrougb". After some furtber discus- sion Councillor Reid made a motion autborizing the first and second reading of the amendment 10 the official plan. This was seconded by Councillor Chater. Deputy-reeve Entwisle then moved that the tird reading be deferred 10 the council of the new municipality of New- castle that will take over January 1, 1974.1 This motion was not seconded. However, the depuly- i'eeve's motion for adjourn- ment was accepted and the third reading was deferred t0 thie following day. On Wednesday Councillor Heykoop was present and be 100 wanted the tbird reading to be passed on 10 the new council, but bis motion was also defeated and the amend- ment received ils tbree readings. The policies set ouI in the amendment will ensure that the developments take place in the intended manner and according to appropriate standards. The amendment states that development will be on the basis of full services and in accordance witb a number of principles as 10 floor area. parking space and residential density. -Guide Letter Carriers Required Extra HeIp for, Christmas Mail Twenty-seven extra, workers were required at the Post Office to sort and deliver the numerous Christmas cards mailed this December.
