Avenue. He advised that he is satisfied with the process.
4. Mike Watson, 1732 Spruce Hill Road, addressed Council with respect to the
Notice of Motion to install services on Spruce Hill Road. He advised that he
purchased his property in June of 1994. He questioned whether he should install a
• septic-system or wait to connect to sewers.
5. Brian Davies, representing Jose De La Torre and Shirley Copp, addressed Council
with respect to the application for rezoning at the southwest corner of
Rougemount Drive and Kingston Road. He advised that this application is for a
three year temporary rezoning and permanent use approval could cause a negative
impact on planning in years to come. He stated that the restaurant Type `A' use
has been withdrawn at this time until a meeting can be held with Council, residents
and property owners. The safety concern voiced at the last meeting regarding the
Blaisdale School should not be an issue as these children are delivered and picked
up by their parents or guardians inside the building. There also does not seem to
be a problem concerning tenants for a temporary period. He thanked the Planning
staff for all their assistance.
6. The following persons addressed Council with respect to 1048 Toy Avenue.
a) John O'Halloran, President of Sonic Automobile, 1034 Toy Avenue
advised that they came to Pickering 18 years ago and are direct neighbours
to 1048 Toy Avenue. He stated that 1048 Toy Avenue has become a
dump and he requested that Council object to any increase in storage. He
requested that the Ministry of Environment and Energy be requested to
carry out a complete environmental assessment in order to assess the
dangers. He also stated his concern with the emissions from the building.
b) Michael Nunes, Vice-President of Sonic Automobile, 1034 Toy Avenue
advised that no one was aware of PGR's existence and now they are
requesting to expand. He stated that if you let them in and let them expand
you will lose control. This is a dirty operation which does not conform
with the approved plans. He questioned whether any Councillor received
campaign contributions in the last election from this organization.
c) Charles Field, Sonic Automobile, 1034 Toy Avenue echoed sentiments of
Mr. O'Halloran and Mr. Nunes.
d) John Vrbnjak, 1035 Toy Avenue has the same concerns as Mr. O'Halloran
and Mr. Nunes. He is also concerned with his property decreasing in value
due to the business being carried out at 1048 Toy Avenue.
e) Emil Ivancic, representing Caspe Limited, 1028 Toy Avenue advised that
he has the same concerns which have already been voiced. When he
applied for his building permit back in 1979 he had to provide a landscape
plan and brick color to the Planning Department.
. f) Gunter Wiederhold, representing Caspe Limited, 1028 Toy Avenue
requested information as to what would be happening in this area.

with respect to the proposal to prohibit left turns from Bayly Street onto West
