www.durhamronion.com THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, OCTOBER 22, 2003 PAGE 3 [Life of convenience gets [tougher along King Street L Council eliminates drive-throughs BY DANIELLE MILLEY Staff Writer BOWMAN VILLE - It's going to be difficult to build a drive-through restaurant in the King Street East corridor, corridor, after a decision by council Monday Monday night. At the last meeting of the term Monday night. Clarington council ratified ratified Official Plan and zoning bylaw amendments proposed proposed in a King Street East corridor study. The amendments, among other things, make it difficult to build drive-through restaurants in the area. In a special general purpose and administration administration committee meeting Monday morning. Mayor John Mutton said the study contained a lot of good ideas, adding many would help prevent traffic traffic chaos, including preventing drive- throughs. Councillor Jim Schell agreed. "The ,intent is to deter drive- through restaurants in that corridor," he said. John Multiton Bowmanvillc resident Evylin Stroud told council she doesn't want to see any drive-throughs along the King Street East corridor. "The first (concern) is air quality. I understand there are at least three drive-through restaurants that wish to open. Drive-through restaurants mean lots of idling cars... This is an area surrounded surrounded by residences as well as a hospital, elementary school and a home for senior citizens. Good air quality should be of prime importance," importance," she said. Peter Smith of Weston CGI spoke at committee against the study on behalf behalf of Tim Hortons, which wants to build a restaurant with a drive-through on a vacant piece of property at the northwest corner of Galbraith Court and King Street. A zoning amendment approved by council Monday changes the lot from commercial to residential. The property has been rezoned "to prevent the location of inappropriate commercial uses in this location and to reinforce its character as a residential precinct," the report reads. Mr. Smith said the site is too tiny to be used for residential purposes. "The site is only 20,000 square feet," he said. "I don't know what the heck kind of residential (property) you'd put on it." Tim Hortons is appealing to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). "The drive-through phenomenon is here and it's not going to go away," Mr. Smith said. Also approved as part of the study are the addition of new traffic lights and possible extension of streets in the area. Hold the phone!

The current generation of high efficiency furnaces arc much more reliable than their predecessors. Old models feature spark ignition which over time failed resulting in a higher vale of calls & condensate drain problems. Current furnaces have the Lennox sure litc ignition system using a silicon nitrate igniter 'which provides just the right amount of power to provide clean silent ignition. Most current high efficiency furnaces also feature scaled combustion designs meaning they draw their combustion air from outside the bouse. This reduces drafts and infiltration of cold air into the house from a furnace that burns up room air for combustion. Why pay for air that you have heated to burn it?. It is heller to use outside air. Also Lennox has a new furnace that was recently introduced this summer, it features cutting edge technology in the new GfdV furnace resulting in. the most quietest furnace available on the market today. It features multi stage operation that modulates the firing of the furnace to suit the amount of heat needed. The blower uses D.C. drive technology with an E.C.M. controller which results in a variable speed ultra high efficiency motor using 1/3 the energy of a standard furnace motor. This motor suits people who wish to have continuous filtration in Ihe house with out the high electrical bills. The DAVE LENNOX signature slot if utilized lo its highest degree provides information to the home owner about the inside temperature, the outdoor temperature as well as the humidity levels in the house. It truly provides complete comfort control of humidity and temperature in your home as well as tells die homeowner of service problems and maintenance on the furnace. As well it is fully programable to suit everyone's lifestyle. SOME TIPS ON SELECTING A DEALER I: How long have they been around: Time tells the story here.
