PAGE 4, WHTBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8,1989 Environment management to be part of Lynde Shores plan An environmental manage- ment plan for the Lynde Shores area was one of five recommen- dations approved by Whitby planning committee Monday night as discussion was held on the fourth stage of the secondary plan for the 700-acre area bet- ween Port Whitby and the two hospitals, south of the CNR tracks. Residents of Lynde Shores and other areas generally favored the environmental report by Ed Hanna, of J.E. Hanna Associates Inc., that recommended an environmental management plan, a ring road through the area to allow public access and visual opportunities, and a com- munity awareness program to protect the natural area. "People will take care of it if it's in their ·own community," said Hanna. He said people should be encouraged to use the area, but without a negative impact. He even suggested a "connection" to the area under the CNR tracks, so that resi- dents north of the tracks could visit the south area. "If you provide a connection to the north, it would increase acti- vity in that (south) area," said Hanna. He was hired as a sub- consultant to prepare the environmental study after a request for such a study last May by residents including Dr. Mar- garet Bain, Dennis, Barry and Joan Gates. The consulting firm Marshall Macklin Monaghan has been car- rying out the land use study for more than two years. Mixed resi- dential uses, park and open space, pedestrian walkway and the ring road make up the all the study area south of Victoria St. W, P'estige industrial uses make u much of the area north of ictoria to the CNR tracks-Hwy 401, along with low hazard, open space and a pedestrian w'alkway. Hanna told committee it would "tpke an extraordinary effort" te maintain the Lynde Shores area. His firm's report indicated that the 400-ft. buffer area proposed along the shore "offers théeoppor- tunity for an effective environ- mental management plan te be designed and implemented." In response to a question by Hugh Peacock about monitoring of the area, Hanna said one example of a similar area that could be used as a model is a marsh site in the Credit Valley Conservation Authority. Hanna also recommended that all storm water collected south of Victoria Rd. be routed directly to Lake Ontario, to avoid further "contaminant impacts" on Lynde Creek. Any industrial storm water discharge to the creek should also first outfall into a detention pond, he said. When asked by Barry about storm water going into the lake, planning chairman Joe Drumm said he would prefer that alter- native. "There's very little I disliked about it (environmental report) quite frankly, Dennis," saiod Drumm. . "I agree we've come a long Way on this," said councillor Ross Batten, who noted, that commit- tee "took citizens' comnients to heart.» "Of all development, this is going to be the-real beauty," said Drumm. Among the recommendations passed by committee (to go before council next Monday night) were: - that council endorse the environmental evaluation and management report by Hanna; - that council adopt the pro- posed amendment, known as nde Shores secondary plan, to the Town official plan (to go to Region for approval; - that council direct planning A preliminary hearing has been set for Nov. 8 after a Whitby dentist was charged with two counts of mischief last week.

Another change that was recommended and later adopted by committee include the eli- mination of a small local com- mercial facility to avoid potential litterinm problems. Officers from the Durham Regional Police morality squad charged Dr. Peers Davidson after four days of interviews with staff and co-operative education stu- dents from Anderson CVI and Durham College. The officers then discussed charges with the crown attor- ney's office which suggested the charges of mischief. Davidson, 49, was arrested at his office Monday, Feb. 27.
