Aooroved See Recommendation #1 Richard Ward, Box 5142, Claremont stated his opposition to all four aspects of this application. An intrusion into this environmentally sensitive area is wrong and an expansion of the clubhouse is inappropriate. He also spoke in opposition to the communal aspect. Mike Newman, Paddock Road stated that Duffins Creek is the most significant treasure within the Town and is being impacted negatively by development, golf courses and sludge on agricultural lands. He advised that no long term water temperature studies have been carried out on Duffins Creek. Fred Beer, Claremont stated that the proponent should speak first and the residents be allowed to speak last. This will be a large and sprawling golf course which negatively affect many streams and pump a large quantity of water out of Mitchell Creek. Any decision to close Sideline 14 prior to Hwy. 407 would be premature. He stated his concern with the process of this meeting and requested that Council defeat or defer this application. .... Bill Wilder, Sideline 12, stated his concern with receiving notification of this item one week prior to it coming to Executive. No date appears on the staff report which was only available last week and does not allow residents enough time to discuss the application with the Solicitor or Planning. Mr. Wilder requested that an article from the Globe and Mail, November 19th issue, entitled Truth & Rumours regarding the ClubLink organization be kept on record. He requested that the Town invite the Pickering Rural Associations experts to review the documentation regarding this application. Chris Willins, 2165 8th Concession, wished to reiterate the previous speakers comments on notification of this application. He stated his concern with respect to the pumping rate out of Mitchell Creek and advised that the on-line pond should be removed. He questioned if the golf course is the issue or is it the housing development. He requested that the portion of Sideline 14, allowing access to his facility, remain open. Beverley Schrum, Lots 7 and Concession 9, advised that she did not receive notification of this application until this weekend. She stated her concern regarding the amount of pesticides being used on the golf course and questioned whether another golf course is needed in Pickering. .... Carrie Newman, R. R. #5, Claremont, stated that some residents have attempted to reach a common ground with the proponent and others are totally opposed to any expansion of the golf course. She is concerned with the fairways crossing Mitchell Creek and the closing of Sideline 14. She stated that the proposed hiking trail runs through a environmentally sensitive area. .......... continued 92 Steve Murray, 2325 Concession 8, spoke on behalf of Mr. & Mrs. Duncan and Mr. & Mrs. Cutney. If this application is approved traffic to the site will increase along with pesticides on the golf course. ClubLink builds golf course communities not just golf courses. Jack McGinnis, Claremont requested that Committee consider carefully this application and not agree to something which will allow the proponent to return with a housing application. He stated his pleasure that an archeological assessment will take place and requested that the community be involved in it. He asked Council to ensure that residents are protected. 'W' George Martin, Greenridge Drive, Greenwood, stated that he would hate to see Duffins Creek polluted and is concerned with the water being pumped from the creek, stored in a holding tank, used on the golf course and running back into the creek. He also stated that this golf course will have a negative impact on rural life and asked that it be refused. Pat Home, Concession 8, stated that the proposed hiking trail is nice but does not make up for the closing of Sideline 14, which should not occur. This application should be deferred for more review, adding that a decision cannot be made in three days. How much acreage is involved in the closing of Sideline 14? Louis Greenbaum, Urban Land Management Inc., advised that he has been involved with ClubLink since 1991. He received the staff report at the same time as the residents and stated that the residents were advised in October that this application would be coming forward at this meeting. He thanked staff, Council, staff of the MTRCA and the community for their involvement in the process. He advised that they support the conclusions, recommendations and conditions of approval in the staff report. This application is for the golf course only. A monitoring program will deal with the water flow and temperature. The section of Sideline 14 which would impact Mr. Willins will not be closed. -- 2.
