1.
DELEGATIONS
Mr. Joe Nesci, Brock Road, addressed Council to express
his concern about the proposed driving range to be
located south of his property. He has investigated
other driving ranges and determined that there is
a chance of balls landing on his property thus causing
a risk to his children. He felt there should be some
type of fencing or screening to protect his property
from errant golf balls and that a closing time for
the driving range be established.
2.
Mr. Thomas Newman, Paddock Road, addressed Council
to speak in opposition to the application to amend
the Minister's Zoning Order submitted by the Greenwood
Mushroom Farm Limited. The present operation causes
odours and an increased operation will only increase
the amount of odour. The entrance to the mushroom
farm is dangerous and for this reason traffic should
not be increased. The structures on the property of
the mushroom farm do not look like agricultural build-
ings and it would help if trees were planted to hide
these buildings. Mr. Newman stated that no person
living in the vicinity of the mushroom farm supported

DELEGATIONS - continued
this application for expansion. When the first appli-
cation for expansion was made in 1980, the Ministry
of the Environment made very negative comments. Mr.
Newman noted that the letter from the Ministry of
Agriculture is addressed to Councillor Stoner and
not the Town of Pickering and the author of the letter
states that his comments are not official policy.
3.
Mr. Bruno Harilaid, Paddock Road, agreed with the
remarks made by Mr. Newman and stated that as the
mushroom farm expanded, so did the noise and traffic.
Mr. Snobelen does not have sufficient land to carry
on an expanded operation and he knew this before he
purchased the property. Paddock Road is more of a
residential area than a farming area since there are
no parcels of land larger than twenty acres. Mr. Hari-
laid stated that the entrance to the mushroom farm
is dangerous and landscaping is needed.
