4. Mr. Ken Brown, 9695 Lakeridge Road, stated that he does not
object to the draft plan of subdivision but he is concerned
about the number of lots to be built on the future
development blocks. There should be no street lights or
other urban amenities in order to retain the rural
atmosphere. He also expressed concerns about the timing of
the closure of the gravel pit, the water level in the
surrounding wells and the fact that there is a pig farm in
close proximity to the subject lands.
5.

Nancy Jackman, 184 Roxborough Drive, Toronto, stated that
she owns the property to the west of the subject lands and
she is concerned that the road in the draft plan will not
give her reasonable access to her lands. She is also
concerned that she may not be able to develop her lands in
conformity with the draft plan.
6. Mr. David Sanderson, R. R. #1, Ashburn, stated that he was
concerned about where the storm water runoff would go.

Mr. J. Kimmerly, Stoenwood, R. R. #1, Ashburn, stated that
there is a possibility of two roads serving the draft plan
and that vehicles servicing the gravel pit would use one of
these roads. He noted that there is much fog in this area
and that the intersection of the Uxbridge/Pickering
Townline and Lakeridge Road is very dangerous.
Mr. Henry Corticus, representing the applicant, stated that
there will be an engineering study of the
Uxbridge/Pickering Townline which will provide for safety
features for its intersection with Lakeridge Road. The
material in the gravel pit will be used to upgrade the
Townl i ne and bui 1 d the new road in the draft pl an and any
excess gravel will be shipped off site. All lots in the
draft plan will be at least two acres in size and low
profile coach lights will be installed in the draft plan in
order to maintain the rural atmosphere. Odours from the
pig farm should not affect the residents in the draft plan
because it is located a fair distance away and the
prevail ing winds are from the northwest. The water 1 evel
has been studied and he is confident that it can support 26
lots without affecting the surrounding properties.
Engi neers have studi ed the storm water runoff and features
such as French drains will be installed to contain it.
9. Mr. Don Stewart, representing ERS Holdings Limited, stated
that all gravel 1 eft in the gravel pit wi 11 be excavated
before the development of the draft plan. He has an
agreement with the Ministry of Natural Resources to mine
the gravel in one operation. He stated that all lots in
the draft plan are at least two acres in size and that
there is 100 feet of sand on the 1 ands whi ch can absorb
excessive storm water runoff. He noted that there are
three means of ingress to his gravel pit.
