Councillors Comment on Planning Reforms by Laura J. Richards A new provincial planning reform reform package was reviewed by the members of a council committee on Monday morning, June 20. The package looks at a number of key points, from agriculture policies policies to mineral and petroleum resources resources policies. The far-reaching guidelines were reviewed in a report from the Clar- ington Planning Department. It was during the discussion of this report that Clarington Council members looked at the SL Marys Cement Co. issue which was raised at last week's council meeting in Solina. Councillor David Scott pointed out to other committee members that two sections of the guidelines seemed to be in contradiction with each other. Under Natural Heritage, Environmental Environmental Protection and Hazard Policies Policies one of the goals is "to ensure that wetlands are identified and adequately adequately protected through the land use planning process and to achieve no loss of provincially significant wetlands." However, under the Mineral Ag- The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, June 22,1994 9 Woman Injured in Accident on Taunton Rd. gregate, Mineral and Petroleum Resource Resource Policies the goals are "to ensure ensure all parts of Ontario possessing mineral aggregates, an essential non-renewable resource to the overall overall development of any area, share a responsibility to identify and protect mineral aggregate resources and legally legally existing pits and quarries to ensure mineral aggregates are available available at a reasonable cost and as close to markets as possible to meet future local, regional, and provincial needs." Also, the policy is "to protect mineral and petroleum resource op- Knox Students Enjoy a Taste of Summer at Ice Cream Social eralions, deposits of minerals and petroleum resources, and areas of potential mineral and petroleum resources resources for resource use." Councillor Scott asked Mayor Diane Hamre if the students who were at last week's meeting should be concentrating their efforts at the province. Mayor Hamre said they were doing doing so. She added: "They've only got about a week to do it." Councillor John O'Toole noted because of the changes in attitudes, St. Marys Cement should be looking at other locations to quarry instead of the marsh. "Times and circumstances have changed," Councillor O'Toole said. "The marsh is a non-renewable resource, and is the only nonprotected nonprotected wetland along the waterfront waterfront "I am not in opposition to St Marys. But, as a council, it is our duty to let people know that Waver- ley Road is the boundary. "It's critical that we stand firm on this issue," Councillor O'Toole said. Councillor Larry Hannah suggested suggested that someone look into St Marys Cement and Ontario Hydro doing a land exchange so the quarrying quarrying could still be carried out, but on different property. Planning Director Frank Wu told the General Purpose and Administration Administration Committee members David Crombie, of the Waterfront Regeneration Regeneration Trust, is looking into the idea. Councillor Hannah suggested the council pass a resolution to support the concept. "Let's find out what Crombie has found out first," said Wu.

GOStation In Courtice? From Page One "The draft Environmenal Assessment Assessment had noted that filling of the creek valley south of the CPR line would be required to accommodate six train sets," the report stated. According to the report, Robinson Robinson Creek at that point is not sensitive sensitive as a fish habitat. The report states the staff has requested requested "that all options of future GO Train service expansion to Bowmanville Bowmanville be maintained through the design and implementation of the current service expansion study. The report does not preclude any expansion for Bowmanville slated in the future. Go Transit is being asked to continue continue consultation with the municipality municipality regarding the design and construction construction report for the layover site for Courtice. This past May, 86 building permits permits worth $5.5 million were issued to construction projects in Clarington. Clarington. Residential building activity was worth $5.4- million, with commercial commercial permits worth $43,000 and others others :$31,'0d0. "This is good news," noted Councillor John O'Toole. He said he can sense the atmosphere atmosphere of growth in the municipality. He also wondered if the Planning Department tracks the percentages of growth within the municipality. He admitted it would be good to have those figures for those running in the election. Councillor Larry Hannah pointed pointed out, "Commercial growth follows residential growth. We're going though a revolution now." According to a summary within the report from the Planning Department, Department, Courtice leads the way in residential residential development, with 196 residential residential building permits. Bowmanville is next, with 135 permits. permits. From Page One rounding grading, drainage and landscaping would be addressed in the site plan agreement to ensure adjacent adjacent properties would not be "adversely "adversely affected." The idea of having both businesses businesses using the same entrances/exits off of Robert Street was also discussed. Also looked at was concern about screening the businesses from neighbors. "The applicant has agreed to appropriately appropriately screen the abutting residential residential properties through a combination combination of landscaping and fencing, with input from the abutting property property owners." states the planning report report The municipality has not received received any objections regarding the report from public or government agencies. The Clarington Fire Department states it has "no objection" to the proposal, but notes that at the site plan approval stage, alterations may be required to ensure the structures satisfy the requirements of the Ontario Ontario Fire Code. However, one letter of objection has been received by Nick Matesic. He said he conducted an "unscientific "unscientific survey" by posing the following question to people: "Would it bother you to live across from a funeral service service establishment?" More than 60 per cent of the people people in his survey said it would indeed indeed bother them or a family member member to live near such a business. According to the report, Mates- ic's bone of contention is with the impact on residential property values. values. The property will be severed into two lots and the middle section of the building will be taken down to create two buildings. Council will hold its final vote on the matter on Monday night, June 27,1994.
