Staff recommendation for deferral. He stated that
residents are in favour of moderate growth in phases in the
hamlet and that the lot sizes of 0.3 hectare is
appropriate. He added that the application is outside the
hamlet boundaries and that the only access to the site is
through the hamlet.
Fred Beer, Pickering Rural Association, spoke in support of
the Staff recommendation for deferral.
Lorelei Jones, Walker, Wright, Young, on behalf of the
applicant, stated the application is a minor extension to
the hamlet and that additional growth is welcomed by local
facilities. The soil is Class 6 Agricultural and not a
high priority for farming. The revised plan provides for
20 acres of open space and the applicant is willing to
provide a walkway in the valley lands.

Brian Whitehead, hydrogeological consultant, stated that
the Ministry of the Environment and the Health Department
are assured that the creek and septic systems will not be

however, they are waiting for comments on the storm water
pond. Berming will assist current water flow and provide
noise abatement adjacent to the railway line.
Karsten Smith, applicant, stated the proposal is a small
infill project, that he has hired professional consultants
and engineers to ensure appropriate development and that he
