9. Wm. Faår~riev~s submitted a letter stating he believed that if the
Township was to finance an artificial ice rink the location should
lie in the Dunbarton .. C.B.C. area so that it would be more central
to more pe'Ople. He estimated the cost of such rink to be about
$150,000.00 and would cost the ave~dge taxpayer about $õ.PO each
per year.

The following PERSONS, on MOTION, were heard:
1. W. G. Fair~rieves spoke to his letter to Council re artificial ice
rinks.
2.
Wm. Fertile stated open air artificial rinks were not satisfactory
in this area and should be closed. He objected to the propose~
site of the 10 acres granted by C.B.C~ to the Township for a park,
stating half of it was marsh.
3. Miss Violet Swan asked that all road signs be inspected as the one
at Concession 2 and White's Road has been reversed.
(2) Asked Council to pass a By-law to stop tile parking of cars on
roads, and
(3) discussed her application to have her house at Concession 2,
Lot 28, exempt because of its being used by the Legion.
Reeve Scott' explained that much work had been done on Water
and Sewer areas {'or ~rea south of Highway 401; that our Engineers now
recommended that inste'ad of a sewage plant at West Rouge it was con-
sidered to be cheaper and better to pump sewage from West Rouge by
three or four pumps to the sewage plant at Frenchmants Bay; that the
cost of over-sizing the sewage mains in C.B.C. development would be
about $72,000.00; that the oversized mains would only be oversized to
the extent of the ultimate capacity of the plant so that there would
be no over loading of the plant; that he had no knowledge of any
meetings or discussions with Pickering Village Reeve or Councillors
about Pickering Village again becoming a part of the Township.

so~th of Concession 2, stating that it was substantially the same as
zoning approved by our Planning Board two years ago, with exception
of nine minor changes in which the Board concurred, he stated each
Township Plan would be reviewed every five years when changes would
be made to suit growth and need¡ that the Dunbarton Shore area is
now being reviewed by the Parks Integration Board; that the area east
of Carruther's Creek could not be zoned other than R A, until dis-
cussions had taken place with the Town of Ajax and the Township of
Whitby; that 200% more industrial land is set out than is expected
to be needed by 1980 to provide for industrial growth after that
date: th,t Metro Toronto is growing at rate of 50,000 persons per
year, 0~4%; that he was not happy with the layout of the plan of
C. B. C., but thought the location was unique and more study should
have been given to the design; that should Council wish his Depart;-
ment to p.ttend a public meeting to answer questions they could '
arrange same.
Mr. Jones stated he had neglected to show a Greenbelt of 350 to 400
feet along the lake and asked that it be so zoned between Rosebank

the plan and also for their fine spirit of co-operation over the
