DELEGATIONS
1.
Lloyd Thomas and David Strain, representing P.A.C.T.
addressed Council with respect to its endorsation of the
resolution of the Region of Durham regarding options for
waste management. They stated that P.A.C.T. believes that
this resolution is too narrow, looking at only three
issues, exporting, incineration and energy from waste and
they would like to see it broadened. It was suggested that
Council not get back into a situation with Metro, that a
long term site be found within Durham to look after
Durham's garbage. They feel the hosting municipality
should be in charge of soil and air testing and finances.
2.
Morris Orzech, Solicitor, representing Ken Hollinger
addressed Council with respect to the draft plan of
subdivision submitted by Cougs Investments in the Rosebank
community. He stated that Mr. Hollinger owns the property
adjacent to Cougs subdivision and that Mr. Hollinger is
very upset with the correspondence distributed to residents
concerning the holding back of this subdivision agreement.
He stated that there is a jog in the planned permanent road
to Toynevale that he does not want but will approve if an
agreement could be reached with Cougs Investments. It was
stated that meetings have been held between Mr. Hollinger
and Cougs Investments but they could not come to an
agreement. Mr. Hollinger agrees with the Planning
recommendation that the proper access should be through his
property.

Robert Muldoon, 554 Rougemount Drive addressed Council with
respect to the draft plan of subdivision submitted by Cougs
Investments in the Rosebank community. He stated that his
property backs onto the proposed subdivision and that he is
against the request to increase the lot coverage from 33%
to 38%. He stated that the increased lot coverage would
cause the new homes to be eight feet to ten feet closer to
abutting properties. He requested that Council not pass
this amendmen t .

Mr. Muldoon also stated his concern with respect to the
temporary exit onto Rougemount Drive. He feels there is a
considerable amount of traffic now and that Rougemount
Drive is not in a condition to handle more. He questioned
the length of time this would be a temporary access and
stated his fear that it would become permanent.
He also asked Council to consider the neighbours
immediately north of this temporary road. He is concerned
for their privacy, as the sun room attached to their garage
is only three inches from the roadside.
