Re:
2004/05 Budget Inclusion
PROPOSAL TO PURCHASE PROPERTY KNOWN AS
2050 DIXIE ROAD - CITY OF PICKERING
Dear Mr. Buntsma,
This letter is to request formally that you write into your 2004/05 operating budget plan,
an amount of $400,000.00 to purchase the property known as 2050 Dixie Road, City of
Pickering.
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

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.

Zonin.q By-law 3037
- the subject property is currently zoned "A" - Rural Agricultural Zone A, by

RESULTS OF CIRCULATION
Resident Comments
none received to date;
A_qencv Comments
a Ministry of Municipal Affairs official has commented orally that the Ministry
will continue to process the application to amend the Minister's Zoning Order,
submitted by the applicant, since the proposed golf driving range is not an
"urban use" for purposes of Bill 27, the Greenbelt Protection Act.
Staff Comments
in reviewing the application to date, the following matters have been identified
by staff for further review and consideration:
· whether the loss of agricultural land is justified;
· consistency of a golf driving range with the City's rural area policies;
· ability to meet the minimum separation distances required between the
future proposed dwelling and existing sources of odour from livestock
facilities;
· suitable buffering from the future by-pass of Westney Road proposed to
the west and the need to protect lands for the Westney Road by-pass
alignment;
· suitable zoning standards;
· matters to be addressed through site plan approval, once appropriate
zoning is in force, before landscaping for the driving range may proceed;
and,
delineation of zoning boundaries for the golf driving range to ensure
compatibility with the Hydro corridor across the south part of the subject
lands.
