(I) ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION.A 19/97
1047114 ONTARIO LIMITED
LOTS 15,16 AND 17, PLAN 21- (WIIITEVALE MILL)
1. Adrian Smith, Planner 2, provided an explanation of the application, as outlined in
Tnformation Report #4/98.
2. Gary Morrison, representing the applicant, provided a background of the principle
owner, Mr. Gino Greci. The intent of the application is to upgrade the present
building to be more like a general store with building materials being sold.
Historic buildings in other communities will be reviewed in order to comply with
the Whitevale Heritage Conservation Area. The owner will work with the
residents and the Town to develop a building that is acceptable to the residents.
3. Sandra Rider, representing, the Whitevale Residents Association, stated that
Whitevale is unique and has a 1900s ambiance. A feed mill is in keeping with the
existing neighbourhood but a building supply store would be contrary to the intent
of the Whitevale Heritage Conservation Area. Her Association will oppose any
change to the intent of the Whitevale Heritage Conservation Area.
4. Isobel Thompson, 3181 Byron Street, noted that Whitevale is one of the last
examples of a 1900s village and it is a Heritage Conservation Area. A wreckers
' yard in the centre of the village is not in character with the existing
neighbourhood. A wreckers yard is a fire hazard to the wooden houses in the
area.
5. Charles Sopher, 440 Mill Street, stated that the small town qualities of Whitevale
must be preserved and the Heritage Conservation Area must be maintained.
Whitevale is an asset for other people in the GTA. He noted that the owner has
erected a high fence and cut off access to the hiking trail. He is worried that the
proposed use of a building supply store will create a fire hazard and will set a
precedent for similar uses. The historic communities of Niagara -on -the -Lake and
Unionville are not examples of buildings in Whitevale.
6. Jim Thompson, 437 Churchwin Street, stated that he agrees with the comments
made by the previous speakers and felt that the proposed use is unclear. The
applicant has not involved the community and the proposed use will increase
noise and traffic. He asked the Town to look at the background of the sale of this
property.
7. Tonuny Thompson, 3181 Byron Street, stated that he is a member of the
Community Planning Group and noted that the rural part of Pickering is being
retained as rural.. This application does not conform to the intent of rural areas.
He was encouraged that the Town implemented traffic calming measures on
Whitevale Road and the village atmosphere has now been retained. The hiking
trail is not accessible for older people because they must now use stairs that are
often covered by ice and snow. He noted that the applicant may not have been
given all information by the Ontario Realty Corporation about the Whitevale
Heritage Conservation Area.

8. Sylvia Cowls, 495 Whitevale Road, asked if the storage area for the proposed use
will be covered or uncovered and what kind of security measures will be
implemented on the property. She asked if oil and gas tanks will be stored on the
subject land and about the weight of trucks and the times of trucks accessing the
subject land. She is opposed to this application because it is not in character with
the existing neighbourhood,
9. Gord Willson, 455 Whitevale Road, stated that he opposes the application based
on the information given to date. This application does not comply with the
Whitevale Heritage Conservation Area and he is concerned about traffic and noise
from the site. The Qntario Realty Corporation did not communicate_ the sale of
this property to the village residents.
10. Marion Thompson, 437 Churchwin Street, stated that she is dismayed by the
number of parking spaces proposed in the application. The parking lot can only
be properly built if it is graded and this would cause water runoff problems and
trees would be destroyed. She asked that the Town uphold the character of the
village.
11. Gary Morrison, representing the applicant, stated that the owner is unaware of
some matters that have been implemented in Whitevale. The owner does not
intend to have a wrecking yard and most of the storage area will be enclosed. He
will meet with the residents to address their concerns.
