Rudik, that Mr. Ray Halket, President of the Pickering Beach Ratepayers' Association be heard. Mr. Halket read from a prepared text. Pickering Township Council, 1710 Kingston Road, Pickering, Ontario. Reeve Williams and Members of Council In the past two years a number of tests by various agencies have recommended that a piped water supply is required at Pickering Beach. It is feared that when the homes in Pickering Beach have a piped water supply, there is a danger of pollution from the septic systems in the area. \ii th a problem expected with the number of homes in Pickering Beach now, it would be far worse if permits were allowed for more homes. As chances of sanitary sewers are very remote, we would end up with a problem with no possible solution. I strongly urge Council to protect the health and environment of the residents of Pickering Beach and pass the amendment which would require 15,000 square feet for a septlc system with a piped water supply. I would also recorn1'ùend that at the end of a two-year period the Township assess the results of piped water . . . . . . . . . . Continued 2. - 3 - 31/71 on the septic systems and if the problem of septic pollution can be controlled, only then consider the merits of allowing the smaller lots to be built on. The Township should, during this two-year period, force any home owners with faulty septic systems to have them corrected. I take exception to the statements of persons who claim they bought the 10,000 square foot lots in good faith and now this zoning by-law revision makes the 10,000 square foot lots sterile, which cannot be used or sold. The fact is any 10,000 square foot lot bought since 1965 was bought with a zoning by-law which would prevent the owners from getting a building permit and an Official Plan which did not indicate when water would be installed at Pickering Beach. These people in fact bought sterile land. The only reason for water being piped to Pickering Beach is to protect the health of the residents, who have made their homes at Pickering Beach for a number of years. If permits were issued for the 10,000 square foot lots, the owners could build on them for resale or sell the lots as building lots and leave the problem to the residents. I believe that a two-year freeze of building on the 10,000 square foot lots with a review of the situation is the fairest answer to lot owners and residents alike. Yours very truly, Ray Halket, 541 Pickering Beach Road Instructions - Clerk to forward copy to J. Faulkner, Planning Director for reference to the Planning Board. Moved by Councillor D. Kitchen, seconded by Councillor R. Chatten, that Mr. H. Whillans, representing Bay Ridges Cable T.V. be heard. Mr. Whillans appeared before Council for the purpose of bringing Council up to date on the progress being made by Bay Ridges Cable T.V. re the installation of Cable T.V. service in the Bay Ridges area. He advised Council that three-quarters of the area is wired and the system is substantially installed. They are presently awaiting the approval of the Department of Transportation and Communications for the relocation of their antennae to the prepared site on Oklahoma Dr. and White's Road. Mr. Whillans also advised that it was necessary to reach an agreement between themselves and Bell Telephone for the use of the Bell sytem on the east side of Bay Ridges which seems to be progressing favourably; however, the agreement between the Township and Bay Ridges Cable T.V. is still with the Township Solicitors. He asked if this could be expedited. The system is about to go into service once all approvals and agreements have either been received or executed. Instructions - Clerk to contact Township's Solicitor requesting draft agreement. (V) 1. (VI) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
