The present owner has an application registered with the City's Planning Department to rezone the agricultural property. The plan is to sub-divide to construct four homes. The sale of land allows him to move to British Columbia in retirement. The City of Pickering has a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to purchase this high profile property and turn it into a beautiful park "~hat present and future generations living in our City can appreciate and enjoy. To date, I have spoken with Councillors Holland, McLean and Ashe. Ail are in favour and recommended that I make this request. Many thanks in advance for your support. Sincerely, Murray Mawson Residence: 1019 Colonial Street, Pickering 905-839-3020 c.c. Honourable Mayor, Councillors and ~ e-mail: murray.mawson ~3web.net ATTACHM £ NT #,...~,~'TO PROPOSAL THAT THE CITY OF PICKERING PURCHASE THE PROPERTY KNOWN AS 2050 DIXIE ROAD WITH THE INTENT OF CREATING A BEAUTIFUL PARK ADVANTAGES · High profile, well situated to the location. Northwest corner of Dixie Road (regional road) and Colonial Street (City), 4 way stop signs. · Presently zoned Agricultural should reflect in the purchase price. Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as infills disappears in Pickering. · No need to dig up roads for hydro, water and cable connections. No cutting of curbs for driveways. · No potential requirement to relocate a fire hydrant, Canada Post Superbox and newspaper pads · Finally, the City of Pickering can exercise easement rights on Dixie Road. Also, the City will not need to sell a strip of property on Colonial Street. Already, the City cuts grass and ploughs snow on Colonial Street. · An opportunity for Hydro One to contribute to this park as it is on the way to their transfer station. This financial gesture of goodwill can help defray the Pine Creek oil spill and the tree planting failure on Dixie Road boulevards. The trees were to deflect the eye from the heavy configuration of hydro lines and poles flanking both sides of Dixie Road. Good PR. · Little or no crime in the park as residents are good observers as are motorists who stop at the four-way stop signs. Colonial Street is a direct school route with a crossing guard hired to help children to cross Dixie Road. The rectangular property can be seen from all sides. · This park will encourage a greater sense of "community" as many tax-paying neighbours have offered verbal support and are willing to sign a document if requested. · Councilors Holland, McLean and Ashe are favourable to this proposal Murray Mawson resides at 1019 Colonial Street and has lived in Pickering since 1970. He is the owner of Whites Road Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic, 720 Sheppard Avenue since it's inception in 1988.
