CARRIED (IV) OTHER BUSINESS 1. MOVED by Councillor Kitchen, seconded by Councillor Spratley that Mr. Eric o. Reprich be heard. Mr. Reprich made reference to a letter addressed to the Director of Public :'lorks dated March 17th 1975 wherein he requested permission to re-install a water line that existed on the road allowance adjacent to Valley Farm Road in Concession 2, which supplied water to his farm. A number of breaks in the existing line had rendered this source of water useless and he faced extreme difficulty in finding sufficient water from existing wells on the farm to take care of the forty horses that were located on the property. In response to an inquiry from Council the Manager suggested that there were a number of unanswered questions with respect to this request that could be resolved by the next Executive Committee meeting. Resolution 39/75 MOVED by Councillor Kitchen, seconded by Councillor Spratley that, subject to the approval of the Director of PUblic Works, the Town Solicitor and the Metro Torohto and Region Conservation Authority if required, Mr. Eric Reprich be granted permission to replace his existing water l~e along Valley Farm Road from Duffin's Creek to his prQpe~ty in the north half of Concession 2 in Lot 20. ~ CARRIED (IV) 2. 3. 4. (V) - 35 - 7/75 OTHER BUSINESS (Continued) Councillor Spratley mentioned to Council the many comments he had received with respect to the increased speèd control being exercised by the Durham Regional Police, and indicated he was most impressed with their efforts in this regard. Councillor Kitchen wondered where a recent report in the Toronto Daily Star had originated wherein it was indicated that the Region was concerned over the fact that the Pickering area was receiving too much industrial development, which was at the expense of the balance of the Region. Evidently the report suggested that there was some thought being given to re-zoning a portion of the industrial area. Councillor Robertson, speaking on behalf of the Regional Planning and Development Committee, was of the opinion that there was little foundation to the article. Councillor Spratley informed Council that a request for an amendment to the Minister's Zoning Order by a resident in the Kinsale area had been rejected on the basis of the fact that the property fell within the 28 N.E.F. line established by the Federal Government in connection with the Airport. By the same token a recent release forwarded to the resident from the Federal Government following the announcement of the approval of the Airport indicated that the Hamlet of Kinsale did not fall within these noise lands. CONFIRMATION BY-LAW By-law Number 192/75 (VI) Councillor Spratley, seconded by Councillor Robertson, moves for leave to introduce a By-law of the Town of Pickering to confirm the proceedings of the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Pickering at its meeting held on the 17th day of March 1975, and that same be now read a first, second and third time, and that the same be now finally passed and that the Mayor and Clerk sign the same and that the Seal of the Corporation be thereto affixed. CARRIED By-law read a first, second and third time and finally passed. ADJOURNMENT MOVED by Councillor Robertson, seconded by Councillor Searle that the meeting adjourn at 9:00 p.m. to reconvene into Closed Session of the Executive Committee. ~ - ~ -: ~- - ...- - .'
