(II ) 1. 2. 8 DELEGATIONS Bob Williams, representing the Pickering Professional Firefighters Association, requested Council to reject the recommendation of the Executive Committee to endorse the resol uti on of the City of St. Cathari nes objecting to an Arbitrator1s Award regarding a fi refi ghter 1 s gri evance. He stated that the reports from the City of St. Catharines are misleading and explained the conditions of the arbitration. He stated that the Arbitrator in question has been on the job for sixteen years and is respected by both management and the Association. David Baffa, representing the Montessori Learning Centre on Dunbarton Road, stated that he was retained by the applicant to help her satisfy the conditions of approval of the rezoning. He has the approval from the Department of Heal th to improve the sewage system. He asked Council to reconsider its requi rement for a cash contri buti on to upgrade Dunbarton Road because the applicant is already faced with onerous financial obligations and the upgrading of the road shou1 d be done through the Development Charges Act. He hopes to have a suitable site plan in about two months. 6/92 27 (II ) 3. DELEGATIONS - continued 8 Harvey Storm requested a deferral of the motion regarding his rezoning for one month to allow the Region time to deal with this matter. He has met with the Town's Planning staff to discuss his site plan and has asked the Region to act as quickly as possible so that he will be in 'a position to comply with the Town1s requirements. 4. Andy Emmi nk, 938 Dunbarton Road, stated that in the spring of 1990, he and his neighbours opposed the Montessori Learning Centre but Council approved it subject to various condi~ons. The applicant has not tried to carry out any of the conditions of approval and he therefore fe1 t that the zoni ng by-l aw is bei ng contravened and should be enforced. 6. A1 Graham, representi ng People or Pl anes, addressed Council with respect to the Notice of Motion to study the feasibility of purchasing lands in the airport area for an i ndustri a 1 or commerci a 1 park. He gave a bri ef hi story of the expropri ati on of these 1 ands and stated that there is no need for a second ai rport or the Seaton communi ty. The communi ty and 1 ands has suffered since the expropriation to absentee landlords. The Notice of Motion promotes urban sprawl which is contrary to the Toronto Centered Region plan. The Federal Government offered to sell these lands four years ago and planned to offer them first to the expropri ated owners and second to long term tenants. The Noti ce of Moti on further promotes the development of Seaton but Council has not yet approved of the Seaton communi ty. The cost of connecti ng to sanitary sewers would be very high and development will not occur around Highway #7 for many years. Kurrie Storey, representing the Claremont and District Residents Association, stated that he agrees with the position taken by the People or Planes organization wi th respect to the Noti ce of Moti on to study the feasi bi 1 i ty of purchasi ng 1 ands in the ai rport area for an industrial or conmercial park. He is particularly concerned about how the expropriated lands will be dispersed. His organization supports being sold back first to the expropriated owners. He asked to be i nvo1 ved in any di scussi ons the Town may have in acquiring these lands. 5. 8 (III) RESOLUTIONS Resolution #27/92 - See Appendix #1 8 Moved by Councillor Van Kempen Seconded by Councillor Wellman That the report of the Executive Committee Meeting of March 9, 1992 be adopted.
