Owing a home should be a happy event states Courtice resident Robert Pilkey, 27 Mosgrave Court, Bowman ville, presented council with a three page list of complaints on development in Courtice stating that his home backed on Trull's Road in the Courtice area. He said a new home should be a happy event for a family but that after five years it has been all aggravation. aggravation. Pilkey who addressed council spoke of his concerns in the Courtice Courtice Heights development and questioned questioned the planning aspect carried out by the Town of the development. development. He said approval had been given to a four foot chain-link fence at the b'ack of the homes and to have this brought up to a desirable standard standard it would cost him some $600.00 for a small section of fencing. fencing. Included in his address was the matter of garbage collection in the area and said the Town had called tenders for garbage collection and t)ien apparently had sent out ques- tionairres to Courtice residents. 1 Pilkey said no one in his area had received the questionairres and it was' no wonder the Town had received a negative response to municipal garbage collection. He said he had made a survey and 80 percent of those he had spoken to were in favour of municipal garbage collection providing the cost was reasonable. "We could not find out what the cost was going to be in this matter", he said. Pilkey said residents were concerned concerned with quality of life and sug gested that the Town hold Information Information meetings in the Courtice area. The speaker also suggested that the Town withold further building permits until such time as complaints complaints could be addressed. Mayor Winters asked Pilkey if HUDAC was not responding to their building complaints. To this Pilkey said most of the complaints were not as to the buildings but rather cosmetic problems. The Town is to study the list of compalints presented by the delegation delegation States new arena is a 'Pie-in-the sky' proposal Larry Hannah of Courtice in speaking to Town council on Mon- " day night strongly objected to the proposed Bowmanville arena as to its costs. He asked council to reassess the project. He said in speaking with residents in the Courtice area there were two areas of concern. Hannah said the cost of the arena has risen from an estimated cost of $3 million to $6 million which was a considerable jump. He also said there was question as to the availablility of funding. He said one had to question the raising of $750,000 from the local community community as well as question the estimated funds that may be available from the sale of the pro- ■ perty on which the old arena now stands. He also said he would question question the recovery costs of servicing that had to be installed to service the arena building. He suggested they were flying on a wing and a prayer. "The cost .of this project is just high", he said, "and you are looking looking at a project for only six percent of the ponulation of the Town." "Look again at this project", he ■ saked council. Hannah pointed out that the Courtice area was in need of a community community centre but when they tried to raise monies for such a project this summer they only raised a little over ^200.®. 'I'm asking that you re-assess this project", pleaded Hannah. Mayor Winter said, "I'm glad some agree,witn my views". Counc. Cowman asked if he was saying people were thus concerned. To this Hannah said, "Everyone is becoming alarmed at the cost of this project." Counc. Hamre said, "You appear appear to have more information than has been presented to council". She said council had nothing before them as yet. She said that now that bids were in they were awaiting a . renort. Hannah said he would have . thought the project would have been re-assessed prior to this time, the calling of tenders. "The concept is 'pie-in-the sky'", he said, "you don't know if (Continued page 2) Asks that noise by-law remain as now passed Darlene Cook, R.R. 1 Enniskillen, Enniskillen, approached council on Monday night asking that exemptions exemptions not be made to the Town bylaw bylaw in favour of dog kennel operations. operations.

It was also pointed out to council that approaches had been made to the police and the by-law enforcement enforcement department of the Town which had little effect in correcting the noise problem.
