Mr. A.A. Strike, a private citizens did speak in favour of the plan but did question some of thè figures used to determine determine the size of additional schools. Planner George Howden also praised the proposal and said if he had been drafting the plan he would have done the same as had the firm of Murray V. Jones and Associates. Associates. He also said that making comparison with the plan for the development of Courtice was not a sound comparison. Critics of the plan stated that Bowmanville could well become the poor sister to Courtice where proposed development development would reach 65,000 over the same period that Bowmanville was to reach a population of 30,000, They felt that Bowmanville has the services which could be extended on a more reasonable reasonable basis than bringing these same services into Courtice.

He noted that the Bowman- ville Commençai area had extended to the east and in the proposed plan it was in this area that future development of this nature should take place. It was also recommended recommended that no action be taken on further commercial development until such time as the population of Bowmanville Bowmanville reached a figure of 20,000 people. This he said was a protection to the present core of downtown businesses. Some developers at thé meeting felt that the go ahead should now be given for further commercial development development in Bowmanville rather than waiting for the population population increase. Garrard was of the opinion that the Bowmanville commercial commercial area would never become a. regional shopping area and as this would be the case he felt their plan was adequate, he did say however that the proposed shopping area in Courtice could be much larger and a regional shopping area. The proposed plan did not include some of the previously proposed developments both of a residential and commer cial nature in other parts of Bowmanville. Mr. Garrard felt that council council had two courses in the matter of commercial development development in Bowmanville. One would be to allow extensive development to the detriment of the present commercial area or to maintain the proposal as outlined in the, Murray Jones plan. In the matter of allowing apartments over commercial stores he felt it was desirable to do so rather than faying it stand as dead space. He also proposed a public beach east of Soper Creek to be used as a recreational area. Mr. Garrard stated that a financial impact study is to be prepared and available to the muncipality by the end of July . Those interested to give comment on the proposed plan for Bowmanville have until the end of July to do so.

Bowmanville. The line would pass through a good portion of the industrial industrial sector in Bowmanville. Mr. Garrard said with prgper planning the property over which the line passed could be used for storage and parking. sought greater development in Bowmanville first and that further development in the Town of Newcastle then be supplanted to Courtice. He also wanted more commercial commercial development at the present time stating that many Bowmanville Bowmanville residents now made major purchase outside the Town. He also said outside shopping areas will be more attractive in the future if something of a major proportion proportion is not done in Bowmanville Robert Garrod of Murray V. Jones Associates stated that new development would be made compatible with present present areas in the Mearns Avenue district. The overall density was set at 23 persons to an acre. The additional population would reside in a variety of housing units from high density, to walk-up apartments, walk-up town houses, attached town houses, street town houses, semi-detached semi-detached and single family . dwellings. Doug Moffatt questioned the construction of Mearns Avenue interchange with 401 highway. He pointed out that the new road would come directly into the main nev shopping area and would be a disservice to present uptown commercial institutions. He Suggested that the interchange interchange be moved further east. This question was proposed on two occasions to Garrod who stood fast to the Mearns Avenue interchange stating that it would bring traffic directly into the centre of the new development. He also stated that the road would not have a multitude of intersections intersections along its way thus reducing the danger of traffic and children.
