"We were looking for something within a reasonable radius around Blackstock, there is an airstrip here, and we had a very welcoming reception reception from the town hall," Lishman said. "The assistance was nice to get," he added. The property is • situated north of Taunton Road on the same road used for the former Bennett Gravel pit, and the former Orono dump site. Lishman noted the facility would be built on land not being used for agricultural purposes purposes and "is a better piece of property" than the location the couple had set their sights on in Nestleton. Responding to concerns local residents have about the facility's location in rural Clarington, Lishman was frank about wanting an environmentally environmentally friendly facility for what could house up to 100 employees. employees. , ; , . •. The rural setting would be in keeping with the image the business wants to live up to, Lishman explained. He noted that he has no plans to'build an ultra-light aircraft aircraft factory. Phillip Pisani told The Independent, "I want them to give me one good reason why they;should be out here." "The building is going to be smack dab in the middle (betweén) the two tributaries," he said on Thursday morning at his home on Old Kirby Road. Showing a map of the site, he pointed to the location of the proposed shop between two creeks and shook his head at the idea. Pisani noted increased traffic traffic along Taunton Road, the entrance to the property off Taunton Road, and the sheer number of employees who would be working at the plant concern him. Speaking about the septic bed that would process the effluent from the shop, he noted the bed would not be able to handle the amount associated with 80 to 1Ô0 employees. He says some kind of runoff runoff will eventually occur and it will head straight for one of the two creeks the building would be flanking. "Why don't they build it down on the industrial land in Bowmanville where it belongs? Put it where it belongs...where it is appropriate," appropriate," Pisani said. Pisani says this application is just the beginning. He mentioned mentioned that he has seen plans for the rest of the property which includes a hangar and estate development. "A large development will follow this," he warned. He says he has seen this type of thing happen before, because he has spent many years in the building business. This is, Pisani bluntly said, "the thin edge of the wedge." * "V lillilllll Tropical Baskets Choose from Spider Plant, English Ivy and Lacyleaf Ivy. Reg. 11.99.
