Port Perry "WE DON'T CUT the "Yellow 085-8448 tomes | ru ™ Council in quandary over request to rezone seven lots on private parkland J. Peter Hvidsten Port Perry Star A dispute between residents of Donauschwaben Park Wald- heim Inc., with respect to a pro- posed amendment to the zoning bylaw ended up in front of Scugog council on Sept. 14. The council chamber was filled to capacity, as Michael Fowler, solicitor for seven lot owners applying for a change in the by-law, made his presenta- tion to council. Providing a brief history of D.S. Park, Mr. Fowler said the German community was formed in 1960 from a social/cultural club located in Toronto. The park is located just north of Cadmus algng the Cartwright East Quarter Line. Producing a copy of the origi- nal subdivision plan showing the 135 acres parcel split into 100'x150' lots, Mr. Fowler explained although the plan looks official and says it was registered, it never was registered. According to a copy of the plan from the assessment depart- ment, D. S. Park has 125 lots. There are 42 homes (25 used as residents), 29 lots with cottages, 17 properties with trailers and 37 lots presently vacant, or with no residential type use. "My clients purchased their lots and built homes in good faith," Mr. Fowler told council. He said recently it came to hght that houses built on the lots may be illegal in the eyes of the municipality and his clients feel their homes may be in jeopardy. "Any house built after 1968 is quite likely illegal under the present bylaw," Mr. Fowler said. "My clients though they were buying legal lots, spent substan- tial amounts of money and moved in. All they want is their seven lots to be legalized. Mr. Fowler had three requests of council. 1) that the properties be recognized through a bylaw as legal lots, 2) recognize the laneways as if they were streets, and 3) the properties be exempt from any setback requirement as the homes are already on the land. But there was plenty of oppo- sition to the changes. Norbert Lackner, secretary and vice president of D. S. Park, who has been associated with the park since 1965, informed council it was just a few new members who were trying to change the bylaws. Mr. Lackner said he had the signatures of 99 members opposed to any rezoning of the park land. Nobody forced them into buy- ing a lot, and nobody 1s being held there if they want to leave We just want to be left in peace," he said Speaking on behalf of the members opposed to a rezoning, sohcitor Sy L.. Wassenaar, said that the situation at DS Park Free iS unique. He explained the legal own- ership of the land is h old by the club, and the members have a licence to occupy space. "Mem- bers are assigned lots, which they can occupy as a member in good standing," he said. Mr. Wassenaar said that spot zoning of seven lots would serve no real purpose, and only create more difficulty. "The club is not supporting this application and is opposed to any type of rezoning. That is their official position," he said. Mr. Wassenaar noted that the issue of people being mislead had been raised, and he was not sure what the applicants hoped to achieve. "This is not a plan of subdivi- sion. It was clearly known with- in the club that the property was owned by the club. They are not owners now and will not become owners by this process," he said. The solicitor asked that the application not be dealt with and that the rezoning not be approved. The 135 acre park is located on land currently zoned as Open Space and EP. Under this zoning no more than one single family dwelling can be erected on any lot less than 25 acres in size. This information was a sur- prise to council, as it means ouses built on the land are in fact illegal Council is also concerned by the fact as late as June 1989. the Township of Scugog has issued building and occupancy permits for single family resi- dences located in D. S. Park. Councillor David Dietlein said "now we know of this situation, it means anyone else applying for a permit would not be legal." While the issue presents a serious problem for council, it also presents a dilemma for D. S. Park members who in the future will be unable to build homes or cottages on any of the 37 remaining lots. Mr. Lackner asked council if the seven applicants have the legal right to make an applica- tion for the rezoning. The township advised Mr. Lackner they will be seeking legal advice on this question.
