The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, September 25,1991 3 The Week in Review. Ont. Municipal Board Rules Against Trucks A by-law to allow the continued operation operation of a trucking business on Best Rd, north of Orono, has been quashed by the Ontario Municipal Board. In a decision dated September 12, the OMB member who presided over the hearing stated that the by-law should be quashed because the trucking operation would have an adverse impact on the road and the neighbouring properties. In an eight-page decision, the OMB noted that the business operated by Stewart and Jean Wood has been in existence existence for the past 18 years, without a complaint from their neighbours. The trucks arc based on a 128-acre farm which includes a parking lot and maintenance maintenance shed with repair bay. More recently, the Woods applied to the Town of Newcastle for a rezoning which would legalize the trucking business. business. The farm and tmeking business is located in an agricultural zone. Municipal Municipal regulations state that the trucking businesses must be located, in a general industrial zone. : "A key argument made by the neighbours neighbours is that the nature of the trucks has changed over the years," said the OMB decision. "The Woods have replaced their original four dump trucks with cabs and fifth wheelers." The OMB decision pointed out that the truckers leave the site early in the morning, mainly between the hours of 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. Board member T. Yao, who rendered the decision, noted that the tmeking business can produce noise from idling engines, gear changes, air brakes, and other sources. Evidence concerning the impact of the tmeks on the road came from two planners and four members of Newcastle's Newcastle's public works department. The Board concluded that the location of the tmeking operation is not desirable on Best Rd., due in part; to the adverse impact impact that the tmeks may have on the road's surface. "It is not in the public interest to locate locate a depot for possibly highly loaded tmeks on a road with a minimal base," the OMB concluded. About a dozen citizens living on Best Rd. objected to the proposed rezoning at the OMB hearing. ; A former Courtice lumber yard will become a weekend flea market if the Town of Newcastle agrees to re-zone the site. : Oshawa Wood Products Ltd. is seeking seeking permission for a- temporary re- izoning at its 4.24 hectare site site on the north side of Bloor St., just west of Courtice Rd.

Oshawa 434-3939 Hannah Wants Blue Box to Bike Stand Cheaper than Investigation Those who ride bicycles to the town's municipal administrative administrative centre may soon find a full-fledged bike rack waiting waiting for them. Councillor Ken Hooper said on Monday that he has had numerous requests from cyclists who ride to the town hall but discover there's no place to park Uieir bikes. He suggested at Monday's meeting of the general purpose purpose and administration committee committee Iliac town staff purchase purchase a bike rack for the north side of the Town Hall. Elected officials briefly considered commissioning a report on the need for the bike racks. But they opted to go ahead and purchase the bicycle bicycle rack instead. Councillor Hooper reminded reminded his colleagues that the cost of installing the rack would be less than the expense expense of preparing a report on the subject, The Town of Newcastle's rural residents residents are entitled to blue boxes too. That's the view of Ward Two Regional Regional Councillor Larry Hannah who suggested on Monday that the recycling boxes should be made available in areas not currently receiving the curbside pick-up. ' However, Councillor Hannah made it clear that the new blue boxes would not be emptied at public-expense.-Home- owners would still have to take their recyclable recyclable materials to central depots where "igloo" shaped receptacles are available for newsprint, cans and some plastics. The councillor believes, however, x that giving households a blue box would help. "I think everyone would feel more like they are part of the program," he said. Estimates indicate that 8,000 of the boxes would be required at a cost of $2 each. That means the receptacles could be supplied to areas not receiving curb- side pickup at a cost of $16,000. The Town of Newcastle's general purpose and administration committee voted Monday to seek a report from the municipality's director of public works before any final decision on handing out more blue boxes is made. The recommendation to proceed with a report on the subject was approved unanimously.
