ONE COUPON PER FAMILY I jl L "w ,N-ST0RERETA,L 1 - 29EA - ■■ WW*j Meeting with Love kin rly 500 angry and ea residents of the Ne arli confusec Wilmot Creek retirement community attended a meeting meeting with Professor James Lovekin last Wednesday to discuss the legal fiasco in which some of them find themselves entangled. Moderated by former Toronto Toronto alderman, Patrick Sheppard, the meeting was designed to allow Professor Lovekin to explain his position position on and involvement in the complicated land hassle. The property on which 54 of the community's homes sit is owned by Professor Lovekin. He, however, leases it to Ontario Hydro, and Hydro Hydro in turn leases it to the Rice group, developers of the property. Although the residents own their homes, they lease the property from the Rice Group. As a result, although the professor owns the land, he is several steps removed from the people who actually actually live on it. Further complicating the issue is the fact that a majority majority of the Wilmot residents live on land which is owned outright by Rice, thus they are not involved directly in the current situation. As part of the process of preparing his estate and writing his will, Professor Lovekin sent letters to the residents living on his property property informing them of the terms of his lease with Ontario Ontario Hydro. These terms came as a terrible shock to the residents. The lease stipulates that within 90 days of the expiration expiration of the lease Hydro must clear the land of all buildings and generally return the land to the state in which it was when the lease began. The lease ends on January 31,1998. Therefore, unless something something is worked out, all of the affected homes will be levelled levelled sometime between February and April of 1998. Professor Lovekin began the meeting by reading a prepared text in which he made several points. Firstly, he stated flatly that he was not prepared to become a landlord for the current residents when the lease falls. "I simply don't have the resources to do so," he told the meeting. Secondly, he offered as a possible solution an extension extension of his lease with Ontario Hydro. However, he reported reported that Hydro is not interested interested in doing so, and he quoted a spokesman as saying that Hydro is waiting for the lease to fall "at which time Ontario Hydro would extricate extricate itself from a situation in which they should never have been involved." Failing an extension of the lease, Lovekin suggested that he is willing to sell the land to Hydro but that Hydro's Hydro's offer "was based not on current but on discounted value...and the offer was not acceptable." He added that such an offer amounted to about half of the compensation compensation he expected to receive for the land. Also present was Town of Newcastle Planning Director Frank Wu, and a representative representative of the Ontario Ministry Ministry of Consumer and Corporate Corporate Relations who left early. As well, Ontario Hydro Hydro was invited to send a spokesman, but refused citing citing delicate negotiations currently currently underway with Professor Professor Lovekin (proceedings Lovekin was unaware of). Following Professor Lov- ekin's statement, residents were encouraged to ask questions. One of the first questions served to show just how upset many residents are with the situation. As a lady angrily addressed Frank Wu, she was cheered loudly. "Mr. Wu, how has Newcastle Newcastle allowed this? You are the ones who have taken our taxes. You are the ones who have given building permits, and are still giving building permits. You led us down the garden path. How did you allow this? You are responsible." responsible." When the crowd, had settled down, Mr. Wu stated that the Region of Durham had engaged in a long battle with the Rice Group in an Ontario Municipal Board. (OMB) hearing to stop the development but that once the OMB approved the project, project, Newcastle was obligated obligated to pass a by-law permitting permitting development. "I understand your frustration," frustration," he said, trying to soothe the residents, tout the Town of Newcastle has no legislative power to refuse building permits." When asked if the home- owners could purchase their lots themselves when the lease expires, Professor Lov- ekin's attorney, Michael Cro- ghan, explained that the entire entire parcel of land had to be treated as a single unit and could not be carved into lots. "Nothing is stopping the occupants from forming a group and buying the property property in 1998," suggested the Professor. At 3:30, after an hour and a half of discussion, Mr. Sheppard moved to close the meeting and invited Professor Professor Lovekin to deliver any closing remarks. In summing up his position position he complained that, "I've had enough of this Missouri Missouri Waltz, one step forward forward and two steps back. This today is it. If Hydro approaches approaches me I'll negotiate, otherwise the lease stands." "Your probVem is with Ontario Hydro. We've pinned the tail on the donkey," donkey," he added. Many residents clapped in agreement with this statement, statement, but when he said, "I'm not trying to take advantage," advantage," an equal number booed in disagreement. Family Trust Tykes Win Solina Tourney Aline Gagnon, of Family Trust Real Estate, was the sponsor of the Tyke softball team which recently won first prize in the tournament held at Solina Park.
