One woman said, she thought the group's voices helped to produce the reduction to be spent on the complex. "I think we have had some effect on the politicians," she said.

Richards A company wanting to set up an asphalt plant, ready mix concrete plant, contractor's yard and shop in Courtice has come under fire from local residents. The 15.86 acre site is located on the west side of Hancock Road just north of Baseline Road and north of the Canadian Pacific Rail line, states a report from the Clarington Planning Planning Department. The report also states "a portion of the lands within the northern half of the property are zoned Environmental Environmental Protection." depicting an existing existing floodplain limit However, proposed revisions will result in only a small area in the western corner corner of the site remaining "in the floodplain limit." If the proposed plant becomes a reality, the business would be on a well and septic system rather than municipal services. Surrounding uses show agricultural, agricultural, hazard, residential and vacant lands. Speaking against the proposal were a couple of residents who questioned the amount of traffic, noise, pollution and odors that would be generated from the plants. Area resident Bill Paterson told the members of the General Purpose and Administration Committee he considers this to be "heavy industry." industry." He also stated " the lands are considered wetlands." He noted concern for potential contaminants in water run-off in the future should the proposal go through. Another point was that there is a dwelling on the property which could be designated as an historic home. Paterson also made reference to Mrs. Ron Osborne, who wrote to council about the proposals. Osborne states in her letter that a plant the scale of what is being proposed proposed will render her home and lot of almost one acre "worthless." Osborne circulated a petition op- , posing the proposed zoning by-law amendment which would permit the two plants arid other uses. Almost 50 people from the area signed it. As Paterson sees it, the increase in traffic from the proposed plants will damage the roads on which trucks will travel. John Lovisek reiterated Paterson's Paterson's remarks, noting that any "runoff "runoff from the plant would go into the creek." Speaking on behalf of the applicant, applicant, Toad Hall Construction Inc., was Paul Borgrani who quickly went through the list of objections.

With respect to the actual zoning of the property being looked at, he told the General Purpose and Administration Administration Committee members the specifics of the zoning do not say what is excludèd or included. In fact, the Planning Department report states that permitted uses are: "manufacturing, assembly and processing processing of goods, service industries, research and development facilities, warehousing, business parks, limited limited personal service uses, hotels, storage of goods and materials, freight transfer and transportation facilities." He notes the quality of the existing existing road is such that it was built to handle industrial traffic. In fact, with the area between Hancock and Solina roads selected as the link between the.407 and 401 Borgrani says the amount of traffic on the road is bound to increase in the future. As for the historical home, Borgrani Borgrani insisted, "that is not part of the property being looked at." Looking for the silver lining in the proposal was committee mem ber David Scott, who wanted to; know how many new jobs would be created by the two plants. He noted that, through the contractor's contractor's shop, there would be 100 to 200 employed through different projects. projects.
