The walk is scheduled to take place on Thursday, September 10, 1998 at 7:00 p.m. starting from the Esplanade Park. Approved See Recommendation #1 46 2. Ed Hoiko, 1101 Glenanna Road, stated that the proposed by-law to impose parking restrictions on Glenanna Road at the entrance to the David Farr Memorial Park will have the effect of penalizing the area residents while others are breaking the law. People using the park are parking in the crosswalk as well as in the prohibited area and he felt that more enforcement was needed. 3. Joanne Volpe, 1916 Shadybrook Drive, stated that she wants to participate in any further discussions about imposing parking restrictions at the entrance to Shadybrook Park. 4. Ian Kerr, 1914 Shadybrook Drive, stated that he is a soccer coach for two teams and can understand the need for better parking controls in the area of parks. He felt that better enforcement would put the message out to those breaking the law. 5. Bill McKechnie, 849 Fairview Avenue, stated that he only recently received a copy of the report of the East Shore Community Centre Building Committee and asked that this issue be deferred to allow all user groups to review the report. He noted that the area proposed for additional parking has been allocated to the Lawn Bowling Club for expansion. 6. Rene Lizotte, representing the South Pickering Lawn Bowling Club, stated that the goal of her club is to include all members of the community and noted that membership has grown 55% since occupying their current space this year. She stated that her Club supports the report of the East Shore Community Centre Building Committee with the exception that a second green will be required and they will require the area where the additional parking lot is proposed. 7. Barry Johnson, Past President, South Pickering Seniors Club, stated that he advised Council in 1996 that the present facility was too small for the size of the membership. In 1997, Council passed a resolution to investigate the expansion of the East Shore Community Centre or investigate the feasibility of another Seniors facility. He gave an overview of the activities of the South Pickering Seniors Club and noted that they are strongly community oriented. He thanked the East Shore Community Centre Building Committee and other user groups that participate with the Building Committee. 8. Flo Turner, 1027 Rouge Valley Drive, asked why the hill at the East Shore Community Centre is not cut back to provide for additional parking and the fill used for other purposes. She also asked if the Palmer House at the East Woodlands Park could be sold and the proceeds go to the expansion of the East Shore Community Centre. 9. Paul Kelland, representing PESCA, stated that PESCA supports the expansion of the East Shore Community Centre in order to provide more room for the Seniors. He attended the meetings when options wee discussed and as a result, he supports the basic recommendations set out in the report of the East Shore Community Centre Building Committee. 47 10. Jackie Smart, 829 Fairview Avenue, stated that she sat on the original Building Committee for the East Shore Community Centre and provision was made for an easy knock-out wall at the north end of the building to provide for expansion but this has not been utilized in the proposed expansion. The folding currently used at the Centre are not sound proof and this will cause problems if the gymnasium is separated from the Seniors area by these walls. The East Shore Community Centre Building Committee did not meet in the daytime when PESCA members could attend and therefore she asked that the report of the East Shore Community Centre Building Committee be deferred for other users to participate in discussions. 11. Louise Boehler, 889 Antonio Street, inquired into the cost of the proposed renovations and asked why the public was not notified of the report of the East Shore Community Centre Building Committee. She also asked by the meetings of the Building Committee were not held during the evening. (III) MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION 1.
