3.
Sue Stattes, who resides east of the subject property, spoke in
opposition to the proposal. She stated that roads in the area
are in poor condition and will not be able to handle the
increased traffic, there could be problems with drinking and
driving and that 47 objections have been submitted.
~
4. Greg Hoy, who resides on the west side of the subject property,
stated his concern with respect to stray golf balls and
trespassers on his property and the traffic hazard and
pedestrian risk if they land on Westney Road or Concession 9.
He also questioned why this matter is being reconsidered when a
past decision to refuse has been passed.
5. John Veale, R.R. #1, Claremont, stated the Official Plan
designates the subject property as Permanent Agriculture and
does not permit a golf course. He stated his opposition to the
proposal and submitted photographs to Planning Staff showing
what works have been undertaken.

Harry Vandelinde, R.R. #2, Claremont, stated the zoning by-law
does not permit a golf course on the subject property and that
the applicant should be showing good cause for the proposal. He
added that the staff report indicates concern that the land may
not be appropriate.
7. Morris Huff, R.R. #1, Claremont, asked four questions: how many
acres are included in a special golf course; how many acres are
normal for a 9-hole golf course; will the Planning Staff
identify the various land uses on the surrounding properties;
and why is the matter being considered when policy guidelines
have not been completed.
8. Fred Beer, 4945 Westney Road, stated the site is too small for a
golf course despite the fact that the residential component has
been removed from the proposal. He questioned the definition of
the quality of agricultural lands and added that notification of
planning matters in rural areas should be more than 120 metres.
9. Liz Lounsbury, Lot 11, Concession 9, asked when site approval
occurs in the process and submitted photographs showing
regrading on the land and altered watercourses. She stated that
the sign on the property shows an incorrect application number
and added that some residents were not notified.
