1.
PLANNING REPORT #16-99
REGIONAL OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT APPLICATION 99-005/D
REGIONAL INITIATED
COMMUNAL SYSTEMS IN THE RURAL AREA
REGION OF DURHAM
-
Approved
See Recommendation #1
Angie Jones, R. R. #5, Claremont, stated that if communal services are
allowed in the rural area, applications would be submitted by developers. She
stated her concerns to include: residents not being notified of this application;
lack of studies and urbanization of the rural area. Do not implement changes
that would be irrevocable.
Fred Beer, R. R. #5, Claremont, advised that this gives Cherry Downs an
opportunity to build ClubLink. He suggested asking Durham Region if health
risks exist in the Region and would communal systems alleviate this risk.
Septic Systems should be investigated for health risks rather than the approval
of communal systems, redirect energies to other issues. He spoke of a
previous meeting when he was refused the opportunity to address Council but
the opposition was allowed a halfhour.
-
Bill Wilder, 5335 Sideline 12, stated his concern with the lack of notification to
residents. This submission was published on October 5th which does not
afford enough time to residents to submit their comments. A petition relating
to the June 21st meeting and the resolution passed by Council is being
circulated in the rural area. Over 200 signatures have been received and it is
expected this figure will reach 1,000.
Chris Willens, North Part of Lot 15, stated that the issue is how Council will
be perceived by their constituents. It is believed that anything pertaining to
ClubLink is in the bag. He advised that he has no problem with the Town
installing communal servicing to solve problems but not in favour of private
ownership.
