1.1 Applicant: Sealand Holdings Inc.
1.2 Agent: N. Barry Lyon Consultants
1.3. Official Plan Amendment: To delete the Community Park Designation from the
northwest corner of Lambs Road and Concession
Street and the Future Urban Residential designation
and replace these designations with Urban
Residential. To expand the Apple Blossom
Neighbourhood Planning Unit to include these lands
and increase the population target for the
neighbourhood from 4,800 to 5,750. To amend Table
9-2 to allocate 300 low density units and change the
corresponding totals.
1.4 Site Area: 42 hectares (105 acres)
2.0 LOCATION
2.1 The subject site area to the application is located at 2020 Lambs Road, more
specifically at the northwest corner of Lambs Road and Concession Street, in
Bowmanville. (Attachment 1)
3.0 BACKGROUND
3.1 On September 9, 2002, a Public Meeting was scheduled for a proposed Official
Plan Amendment submitted by Great Lakes College. The proposed amendment
proposes to delete the Community Park designation in favour of an Urban
Residential designation. The General Purpose and Administration Committee
endorsed Staff's recommendation to refer the report back for further processing
and the preparation of a subsequent report.
Committee also endorsed a recommendation that LACAC be requested to review
the architectural and historical significance of the buildings at Great Lakes
College and report back to Council.
3.2 In order to process the proposed amendments further, a number of studies were
required including:
• A Servicing Report
• A Transportation Study
• A Sub-watershed Study
• An Environmental Impact Study
602
REPORT NO.: PSD-026-06 PAGE 3
None of these studies have been submitted to date.
In November 2003, staff contacted the applicant's agent and advised that the file
will be closed if the reports were not submitted. Staff subsequently received a
letter requesting the file remain open and that the reports would be forthcoming.
3.3 LACAC had completed their historical research in November 2002 and had
attempted to contact the owner to conduct a site inspection. In February 2004,
Staff spoke with the applicant's agent to discuss the opportunities for
designation, but were unable to make contact with an owner. The lands were
transferred from Great Lakes College to Madresa Ashraful Uloom in May 2005.
3.4 In January 2006, Staff contacted the applicant's agent, Yusuf Panchbhaya, of the
Madresa Ashraful Uloom and advised that the file will be closed due to inactivity.
Mr. Panchbhaya advised that he would contact staff by early February to discuss
the Official Plan Amendment application.
As of the date of writing this report, Mr. Panchbhaya has not contacted staff. In
the interim, staff have received applications from the Region of Durham Land
Division Committee requesting staffs comments on applications to sever lands
north and south of the school buildings. The applications were submitted by The
Kaitlin Group.
4.0 CONCLUSION
4.1 Given that supporting documentation to properly assess this file has not been
submitted and there has been no follow-up on this file by the new owners, staff
respectfully recommend that the Official Plan Amendment be refused and closed
without prejudice.

other uses "a transport service establishment".
6.2 Where the zoning of a property is preceded by the letter "H the use of the lands shall
be limited to existing residential uses and conservation, forestry and farm uses
exclusive of a livestock operation. Hence the need for the removal of holding
application.
7.0 COMMENTS
7.1 Discussion regarding this property began in the fall of 2004 when Central Lake Ontario
Conservation sent notice to the applicant (Hasiuk) regarding the illegal placement of fill
on the property at 2347 South Service Road. By-law Enforcement received a complaint
in March 2005 regarding the use of this property for outside storage of trailers. Charges
were laid against Mr. Hasiuk on May 2"d, 2005. The charges were for the outside
storage of trailers on the property. The court determined that the equipment stored on
the property were "containers" and not "trailers" as defined in the Zoning By-law.
Because the charges were specific to outside storage of trailers the court dismissed the
charges. The Zoning By-law does not define containers or specifically identify the
storage of them as a permitted use.
7.2 Through meetings, phone discussions and letters during the summer of 2005 Mr.
Hasiuk was informed that his proposed use on the property met neither the Official Plan
nor the Zoning By-law. Staff sent excerpts of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to the
applicant's lawyer. These excerpts were sent again with staffs letter dated January 6,
2006 following receipt of his formal application for removal of the holding symbol and
site plan approval.
7.3 The Clarington Official Plan contains provisions regarding the removal of holding. As
noted in Section 5 of this report, the holding provisions are there to assist Council in
achieving its specific planning objectives and to ensure that any development proceeds
in accordance with the policies of the Official Plan.
7.4 The Clarington Official Plan provides three industrial designations to determine where
different types of industrial uses should be located. Typically the General Industrial
designation includes heavier industrial uses and uses that often require outside storage.
Heavy Industrial uses are typically located so they are screened by the lighter industrial
uses. The property at 2347 South Service Road is within view of Highway 401 and has
been designated for light industrial use only.
7.5 The policies of the General Industrial designation specifically identify "truck terminals,
including the repair, storage and sale of commercial transport vehicles, shall be located
within the General Industrial Areas having direct access or close connection to an
608
REPORT NO.: PSD-028-06 PAGE 5
arterial road but not occupying high visibility sites adjacent to freeways or major
entranceways to urban areas." The policies of this section are more reflective of the
use proposed and the site is very visible from Hwy. 401. Hence, staff do not believe the
use is permitted in the Light Industrial designation.
7.6 The applicant is of the opinion that his proposed use is a Light Industrial use, as the
word "repairing" is listed in the Light Industrial designation. However the Clarington
Official Plan must be read in its entirety and no word may be taken out of context; as
such the Official Plan provision in the General Industrial designation is more reflective of
the proposed use.
7.7 The applicant was informed, in writing on January 6, 2006, that the application for
storage and repair and servicing operations did not conform to the Clarington Official
Plan. Staff could not recommend approval for the removal of the holding symbol unless
an application for official plan amendment is submitted . and given favourable
consideration. Both by letter and phone, staff discussed the option of applying for an
Official Plan amendment or to withdraw the applications for site plan approval and
removal of holding with a full refund. The applicant chose to let the applications stand
and let Clarington Council and/or the Ontario Municipal Board make the decision.
7.8 Based on the history of the property with Mr. Hasiuk, the current Official Plan
designation and policies, staff would recommend denial of the of this removal of holding
application.
8.0 RECOMMENDATION
8.1 In consideration of the comments noted above, DENIAL of the removal of the "Holding
(H)" symbol is recommended.

Application Number Staff Recommendation Decision of Committee
A2006-0003 Approve Approved
A2006-0004 Approve with conditions Approved with conditions
2.0 COMMENTS
2.1 Application A2006-0003 is for a reduction of the parking for a proposed expansion to the
recreational centre for the Wilmot Creek Retirement Community. The application was
approved as applied for. Staffs recommendation was to approve the application as
applied for.
2.2 Application A2006-0004 is an application to reduce the rear yard setback for a dwelling
from 7.5 metres to 6.4 metres. The applicant proposed the construction of a model
which is too long for the subject lot. Staff determined that the impact of the proposed
rear yard setback reduction on the adjacent properties would be minimal; however, Staff
suggested a condition that would not permit the projection of an unenclosed deck or
porch further into the requested reduced setback. Discussion by the Committee
included an additional condition that notice of the minor variance be included in any
purchase and sale agreement. The application was approved by Committee subject to
these two conditions.
2.3 Staff has reviewed the Committee's decisions and is satisfied that the applications that
received approval are in conformity with the Official Plan policies, consistent with the
intent of the Zoning By-law and are minor in nature and desirable. Council's
concurrence with the Committee of Adjustment's decision is required in order to afford
Staffs official status before the Ontario Municipal Board in the event of an appeal of any
decision of the Committee of Adjustment.

REPORT NO.: PSD-031-06 PAGE 2
1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 In June, 2004 the Province released 3 discussion papers dealing with planning
reform for consultation. They included Planning Act Reform and Implementation
Tools; Provincial Policy Statement; and Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) Reform.
1.2 The major issues that the three Planning Reform discussion papers attempted to
address were growth and growth management, especially in the GTA/Golden
Horseshoe Area, Source Water Protection and what the roles of local and
provincial decision-making should be. The Provincial Government have
introduced a number of pieces of legislation during their term in office and are
attempting to comprehensively bring together all the reforms proposed by the
government for land-use planning.
1.3 Bill 51 represents another phase of Provincial Planning Reform initiatives and
proposes reforms to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) responsibilities and
revisions to the Planning Act. The Bill also proposes changes to the
Conservation Land Act, the Conveyancing and Law Property Act, the Land Titles
Act and the Municipal Act, 2001.
1.4 The Municipality has previously commented on the Discussion Papers through
Report No. PSD-105-04 and more recently on the OMB Reform through PSD-
138-05. The conclusions and recommendations of both reports supported the
reforms being proposed.
1.5 The purpose of this report is to highlight the changes that Bill 51 will, if and when
given final reading and Royal Assent (scheduled for the Spring Session of
Parliament), have on the planning process.
2.0 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROPOSED PLANNING AND OMB REFORMS
2.1 Bill 51 introduces a series of reforms that build on recent changes to the land-use
planning system that were introduced through The Strong Communities Act (Bill
26), the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and the Greenbelt Plan. The
proposed reforms are aimed at requiring increased background information,
public participation, and pre-consultation early in the planning process.
2.2 The Bill, if passed, would make several legislative and procedural changes
including:
OMB Reforms
• Provide for administrative changes that would create a more open and
transparent OMB, and make it more "user-friendly". The reforms also
621
REPORT NO.: PSD-031-06 PAGE 3
endeavour to ensure the most qualified people are hired to serve as OMB
members;
• Require the OMB to "have regard" for decisions made by municipal
council and approval authorities;
• Restrict appeals to the OMB in respect of amendments to official plans
and zoning by-laws that propose to redesignate employment lands, except
at the 5-year municipal comprehensive official plan review stage;
• Restrict the scope of information to be considered at OMB hearings to the
information and parties that were before the Municipal Council. Any new
information from private parties could be, referred back to a Municipal
Council, if the OMB determines that new information could have caused
Council to reach a different decision; and
• Restrict the OMB's power to determine appeals of Ministers Zoning
Orders if the Minister has given written notice that he/she is of the opinion
that all or any part of the requested changes adversely affect matters of
provincial interest.
New Planninq Tools and Planning Rules
• Expand the list of matters of provincial interest to include the promotion of
sustainable development, public transit, and pedestrian oriented
development;
• Clarify and strengthen the requirements for municipalities to update their
official plans and zoning by-laws on a more regular basis;
• Enhance the prescribed information and submission requirements (i.e. a
complete application) and require pre-consultation prior to the
submission of a planning application;
• Enhance the scope of community improvement plans. Upper-tier
municipalities would be permitted to establish community improvement
plans for limited purposes, and municipalities at each level could
participate financially in the other level's community improvement plan;
• Clarify that a municipality's power to regulate the density of development
includes power to regulate minimum and maximum height, and minimum
as well as maximum density. Municipalities would also be authorized to
impose prescribed conditions on the granting of zoning approvals;
• Allow municipalities to establish policies to permit second dwelling units as
of right, and to restrict the ability to appeal those policies to the OMB,
except at the 5-year comprehensive official plan review stage; and
• Provide the ability to apply conditions to zoning, that would obligate the
applicant.
Other Amendments
• Require municipal and provincial planning decisions and documents to be
consistent with and conform with the PPS and provincial plans in effect at
the time of the decision, not those in place at the time of application;
622
REPORT NO.: PSD-031-06 PAGE 4
• Expand requirements for public notice and information, including the
requirement for a public open house at least seven days prior to a
statutory public meeting; and
• Allow, by regulation, the exemption of an application from the Planning
Act approval process, any undertakings that relate to energy that have
been approved or exempt under the Environmental Assessment Act.
2.3 The Bill also provides for complementary amendments to the Conservation Land
Act, the Conveyancing and Law Property Act, the Land Titles Act and the
Municipal Act, 2001. The proposed amendments would provide for the more
effective use of conservation easements as a tool to protect agricultural lands
and natural heritage features.
3.0 COMMENTS
3.1 The proposed planning and OMB reforms will further enhance municipal planning
in Ontario. Bill 51 has included reforms to the OMB that have addressed many
of the recommendations of the GTA Task Force on OMB Reform, which were
endorsed by Council. Some of the proposed amendments to the Planning Act,
such as the requirement to provide complete applications are particularly
significant in relation to municipal control over land use planning decisions. The
proposed administrative reforms to the OMB also promote a more transparent
tribunal.
3.2 The proposed reforms are a positive step toward transforming the OMB to more
of an appeal body. Bill 51 will require approval authorities, including the OMB, to
have regard for the decisions of municipal councils. Although the reforms fail to
address the GTA Task Force's recommendation respecting intervenor funding,
the Bill takes a step in the right direction by proposing the creation of a citizen
liaison function to help the public navigate through the OMB process.
3.3 Bill 51 does not prescribe how transitional applications (i.e. applications and
OMB proceedings commenced prior to the proposed Act coming into force) will
be treated. Details regarding implementation of the Bill and specific criteria for
some of the proposed amendments (i.e. the option to establish local appeal
bodies) are expected through a future regulation.
3.4 Since Bill 51 will allow for upper tier municipalities to participate in Community
Improvement Plans. The Municipality should request that Durham Region
include the appropriate policies in their Official Plan currently under review to
allow for the Region's involvement in the provision of grants and loans.
3.5 At the Council meeting of February 13, 2006 Council considered and referred the
correspondence from the Municipality of Grey Highlands and the Town of Blue
Mountain regarding Clause 23 in Bill 51 to Staff. This clause proposes to allow
623
REPORT NO.: PSD-031-06 PAGE 5
the Lieutenant Governor in Council, by regulation, to exempt all energy projects
from the Planning Act approval process if the undertaking or class of undertaking
has been duly reviewed and approved under the Environmental Assessment Act.
This clause is much the same as the exemption that previously existed in the
Planning Act for undertakings by public utilities. Thus, staff would not
recommend that council endorse the resolution proposed by either of these
Municipalities.
4.0 CONCLUSION
4.1 The Province's latest set of proposed planning reforms provide clear values and
a more effective process for the public and municipal councils to engage in local
planning matters. The proposed reforms have addressed some of the concerns
raised by the Municipality through submissions on the planning reform initiatives.
The Proposed Bill 51 has also addressed the recommendations contained in the
GTA Task Force on OMB Reform.

1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 The municipality has recently completed the construction of Phase One of
Bowmanville Community Park. The four ball fields that comprise phase one are
scheduled to open for play this spring. A grand opening of the park will be held
on Saturday June 10, 2006. Future phases of the park will include a football field
and 3 soccer fields. This park will be the largest park in the municipality with a
focus on tournament quality sports fields.
The municipal policy for naming parks and open space states;
"Staff shall report to council if other than an abutting street is to be used in
naming of a park or open space lands."
2.0 COMMENT
2.1 The park abuts both Green Road and Baseline Road. There are existing parks
named Green Park and Baseline Park.
This park is also going to be Clarington's showpiece sports park with the finest
quality ball and soccer fields in the municipality. The south edge of the park
abuts Hwy. 401 giving it high visibility to passing vehicles. Naming the park
Clarington Fields both suits the character of the facility as a sports park, and
provides a unique opportunity to display the park and municipal name on the
back side of the scoreboard facing the 401 (Attachment 1). The scoreboard sign
would have lights on the back to ensure that it will be visible day and night. For
those unfamiliar with Clarington the sign would greatly enhance the recognition of
the municipality's name and location.

Report#EGD-13-06 Page 2
1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 At the February 13 meeting of Council resolution #C-072-06 was approved;
"That staff investigate and report on potential streetscape improvements along
Highway 2 in Courtice from Townline Road to Courtice Road."
Courtice extends along Hwy. #2 from Townline Road in the west to Hancock Road
in the east. Currently the western edge of Courtice, east of Townline Road is
indistinguishable from the east end of Oshawa. Commercial plazas and gas
stations line both sides of Hwy 2 for the first 500-600 m of the corridor into
Courtice.
The Courtice Business Association has requested that the Municipality look into
ways to improve the look and "announce" the entrance to Courtice from the west.
In June 2001 a report entitled Highway to Mainstreet: Courtice Highway 2
Corridor and Main Central Area Study was completed. One purpose of the study
was to provide urban design principles for the Highway 2 corridor to create a
distinct and consistent image for Courtice. Some of the urban design
improvements recommended in the study include the installation of banners on
light poles, street trees, street furniture, decorative street lights, center medians,
special walk surfaces, special road surfaces and planting areas.
2.0 ANALYSIS
2.1 Many of the recommended improvements in the Mainstreet: Courtice Highway 2
Corridor and Main Central Area Study are not immediately feasible for the first
500-600m of the corridor because of the narrow boulevard between the curb and
the sidewalk, and the frequency of driveways into the commercial properties.
This area has been identified in the study as a "transition zone from Oshawa,
minor gateway, limited treatment, commercial focus". There is insufficient room to
705
Report#EGD-13-06 Page 3
plant trees or create planting beds and the introduction of street furniture into this
area is not appropriate because of the high traffic environment and lack of public
land behind the sidewalk. The most effective way to visually distinguish the west
entrance to Courtice would be the installation of banners on the existing light
poles. Banners arms can be retrofitted onto any light poles. Banners with different
graphics and themes can be installed at various times of the year if desired. They
can be installed at both the east and west entrances into Courtice on as many
poles as the budget permits (Attachment 1).
Staff has met with the Courtice Business Association and they agree that
installing banners on the existing light poles is the best immediate way to
distinguish the entrance into Courtice within the constraints of the corridor. The
Association is working with the Municipality to develop the graphics and they will
purchase the banners and arrange for installation and removal as necessary.
Additional streetscape enhancements in the corridor, such as medians, decorative
street lights and special surfacing, could be considered in the future in conjunction
with the reconstruction of various sections of the Hwy. #2 corridor.
2.2 Another good opportunity to enhance the western entrance into Clarington and
Courtice would be the construction of a 'Welcome to Courtice" gateway feature.
One potential location for such a feature would be where the Black Creek valley
meets Hwy#2. Until that point there is no location along the corridor wide enough
to install a sign within a large planting bed. The north side of Hwy#2,just west of
the Hilltop Restaurant, is ideally suited to construct a terraced planting bed and
sign into the existing bank (Attachment 2). It would be very visible to eastbound
traffic along Hwy#2. The feature would be located on the Municipal property
adjacent to the valley, but it may also encroach slightly on the Regional road
allowance, so approval from the Region will be required. This project is included in
Engineering's 2006 Capital Budget.
706
Report#EGD-13-06 Page 4
The Municipality also owns the property at the N/W corner of Trulls Road and Hwy
#2 (Attachment 3). This high traffic, high visibility location was purchased by the
Municipality to create an eastern gateway feature into Courtice. The Courtice
Horticultural Club planted a small garden on the corner in 2005 with funding from
a Municipal grant. They will continue to expand the garden with the knowledge
that the final plans for the site may require the gardens to be relocated in the
future. Other clubs have also inquired about this corner as a potential project site.
Any permanent project proposed by a service club on this corner must fulfill the
need for an appropriate gateway feature.
3.0 CONCLUSION
3.1 Unlike the main business areas in Bowmanville, Newcastle and Orono, the
business core of Courtice appears to be merely an extension of the commercial
uses along the Highway 2 corridor from Oshawa. Creating a distinct entrance into
Courtice is further constrained by the lack of space at grade to create an entrance
feature, install street furniture, or plant street trees. The best immediate
opportunity to create a visual feature to announce the entrance into Courtice is the
installation of banners on the existing light poles close to Townline Road. The
money to purchase and install the banners would be raised privately through the
Courtice Business Association.
To complement the banners, gateway/entrance features located on public land
will be constructed. Features such as these typically include rocks, trees,
shrubs, perennials, annuals and a lighted sign. The two best potential sites in
Courtice for a gateway feature are; Hwy 2 at the Black Creek Valley; and at the
N/W corner of Trulls and Hwy 2. Either location will provide an excellent
opportunity to create a civic beatification feature in a highly visible location. The
location at Black Creek and Hwy 2 will also serve to "announce" the entrance into
Courtice/Clarington from the west. The project is included in the 2006 Capital
Budget.
707
Report#EGD-13-06 Page 5
The gateway feature at Trulls Road and Highway 2 could be part of a future
capital budget and perhaps developed in conjunction with the commercial
development on the South East corner of the intersection.

1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington entered into a Subdivision Agreement,
registered November 4, 2002, with Primrose Lane Land Corp. to develop lands by plan
of subdivision, located in Courtice and described as Plan 40M-2132 (Attachment 1).
The agreement required the developer to construct all roadworks, including hot-mix
paving, sidewalks, curb and gutter, street trees, a storm drainage system and
streetlights, hereinafter referred to as the 'Works'.
1.2 The Subdivision Agreement provides for the separation of the Works into four(4)
stages:
a) Initial Works;
b) Street Lighting System;
c) Final Works; and
d) Stormwater Management System (Not Applicable)
1.3 The Initial Works and Street Lighting System were issued 'Certificates of Completion'
and subsequent 'Certificates of Acceptance' by the Director of Engineering Services, as
per the maintenance requirements set out in the Subdivision Agreement.
1.4 The Final Works were issued a 'Certificate of Completion' dated February 28, 2005.
This initiated a one (1) year maintenance period, which expired on February 28, 2006.
The Works were re-inspected at that time and all deficiencies have now been rectified to
the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering Services.
1.5 It is now appropriate to issue a 'Certificate of Acceptance' for the Final Works. The
Subdivision Agreement requires Council approval prior to the issuance of the 'Certificate
of Acceptance' for the Final Works.

Report#EGD-18-06 Page 2
1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 The Municipality's By-Law to regulate the construction of driveway entrances
upon the highways under the jurisdiction of the Municipality has been in effect for
several decades.
The By-Law ensures that entrances to private property off Clarington roads are
constructed in a safe location and to municipal standards.
Property owners shall apply for an entrance when:
• The use of the entrance changes from temporary to permanent
• A new building is to be constructed on vacant land
• An entrance is desired to vacant property where no entrance exists
• An existing land use changes to another land use
• A temporary access is required
Entrance applications are jointly processed by both the Engineering and
Operations Departments. Engineering is involved in the technical process of
assessing sightlines and ensuring compliance with site plans and utilities. The
Operations Department physically inspects the site, determines the cost of
constructing the most appropriate entrance out in the field and then constructs
the entrance in accordance with Municipal standards and policies.
Entrances basically consist of the installation of a culvert and granular material in
rural areas, or a curb cut and granular material in urban areas. The Municipality,
upon receipt of an approved entrance application, will install the entrance, and
the by-law provides for cost recovery of this work.
2.0 PURPOSE
2.1 While the proposed entrance by-law is not fundamentally different from previous
entrance by-laws, the purpose of the new by-law is to reflect updates contained
in the new Municipal Act and to provide for updated cost recovery of
construction.
3.0 COST RECOVERY
3.1 Schedule 'A' of the by-law lists the various costs for different types of entrance
construction.
It is important to note that the proposed fee schedule is for cost recovery only for
(where required):
• Culvert
• Granular material
723
Report#EGD-18-06 Page 3
• Curb cut
• Municipal heavy equipment
• Heavy equipment operators
• Lead hand and truck
• Labour
• Flag persons
Staff recently polled other Municipalities in Durham Region and found that a fee
increase is warranted to bring the fee schedule in line with other Durham Region
municipalities.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
Since 1998 the Municipality of Clarington has contracted with Animal Licensing Services Inc.
for the door-to-door selling of animal licences. Licences were sold during the period of March
through to the end of September.
In 2005, however, Animal Services Officers were assigned this duty, and sales were
conducted four days per week during the period of May through to the beginning of
September. On average, we had two staff who sold approximately 12 licences per day
although they attended approximately 127 households per day. Our 2005 door-to-door
campaign resulted in total sales of: 469 dog licences, 220 cat licences, and 202 lifetime
licences. These numbers are down significantly over previous years, primarily due to the
reduction in sales agents, and the increase in the number of lifetime licences. Animal
Licensing Services Inc. traditionally deployed three to six sales agents, over six days a week,
for seven months.
2006 Door-to-Door Sales
Animal Licensing Services Inc. has been contracted to sell our animal licences for our 2006
door-to-door sales campaign. The sales agents selling on behalf of the Municipality of
Clarington will be attending a mandatory in-service training session which will include a review
of our By-law, and a detailed discussion on customer service expectations and code of
conduct. Every sales agent will be required to wear and prominently display municipally
issued photo identification.
Notices shall appear in the local newspapers advising our residents of the sales campaign.
Sales are expected to begin as early as March 23, 2006.
2006 Sales Outlets
As per the By-law 99-90, as amended, animal licences are sold at the following locations:

encouraging the pet owner to complete and return the application along with the appropriate
licence fee. Upon receipt of the application and fee, a licence and tag shall be promptly mailed
to the applicant. Results of this pilot project will be reviewed for future licensing campaign

REPORT NO.: FND-003-06 PAGE 2
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
1.0 At the Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington's meeting of February 9,
2006, the following two resolutions pertaining to farm taxes were approved to be
forwarded to Council for consideration.
(a) WHEREAS farm property owners in Clarington have had the extra burden of
increases in property taxes more than other municipalities; and
WHEREAS, added to the crisis resulting from low commodity prices and unfair
competition of subsidized agricultural imports, and loss of markets caused by B.S.E.
disease; and
WHEREAS the input costs of energy, labour, taxes, etc., have made profitability and
sustainability impossible for agriculture; and
WHEREAS all levels of government have failed to adequately support agriculture
(however, some municipalities have deferred the farm property taxes for 2006 until
after harvest in 2006); and
THEREFORE be it resolved that the A.A.C.C. request Clarington Council to defer the
2006 taxes on farm properties until after December 1, 2006.
(b) THAT Clarington Council be requested to forward the decision to defer the 2006
taxes on farm properties until after December 1, 2006 to Regional Council for similar
action by the Region.
1.1 It is important to note that, in the first paragraph of resolution (a), it is referenced that
farm owners in Clarington have had the extra burden of increases in property taxes more
than other municipalities. This is not the case as is evidenced by the results of the BMA
Management Consulting study in which Clarington participated. The farmland taxes per
acre for Class 1 farmland through to Class 6 farmland are 25% to 30% less than the
average for the 67 municipalities represented in the study.
1.2 Concern has been voiced regarding the impact of reassessments on farm properties
since the new CVA system was introduced. While there is no question that Clarington
farmlands have experienced increased in assessment, this is generally offset by the
corresponding reduction in the tax rate in reassessment years. According to the Region
of Durham Finance Report#2006-F-15, the taxation shift between classes due to
reassessment is estimated to zero for farm properties. Also, according to the
presentation to the Finance and Administration Committee of Regional Council on
October 12, 2005, the cumulative impact of reassessments from 2000 through to 2006 is
$170,000 region-wide for farm properties.
The increase in assessed values only (not taxation)for 2006 for Clarington farm
properties is 17.16% compared to 13.5% province-wide.
1302
REPORT NO.: FND-003-06 PAGE 3
1.3 The first resolution is requesting Council to defer the 2006 taxes on farm properties until
after December 1, 2006. The second request is to ask the Region of Durham to take
similar action. Several municipalities in the Province of Ontario have approved such a
resolution.
1.4 However, Clarington and the Region of Durham have made a permanent reduction in
farmland taxation beginning in 2005 through the lowering of the tax ratio for farmland.
The ratio was reduced from 25% of the residential rate of 23 1/3% in 2005. It is
proposed to be reduced to 21 2/3% in 2006 through the Region of Durham's long-term
property tax strategy. It is intended that this be reduced further to 20% of the residential
rate in 2007. For 2006, this represents an approximate 7% reduction on the local and
regional share of the average farmland tax bill.
1.5 Unfortunately, neither Clarington, nor the Region of Durham have the authority to amend
the tax ratios for the education portion of the tax bill. This falls under the authority of the
Province of Ontario. It is therefore recommended that the Province of Ontario, through
Clarington's member of Provincial Parliament John O'Toole, be requested to match the
tax ratio reductions for farmland properties in order that the savings be applied to the
entire tax bill for farm properties.
1.6 There are also practical problems presented by the request of the Clarington Agricultural
Advisory Committee. A property in its entirety can be coded to not charge interest but
not just the farm portion. This means that any residential or commercial component
would also be interest free. This would cause further inequities between taxpayers.
1.7 As Committee is aware, the municipal portion of the tax bill is only approximately 27%.
The balance goes to the Region of Durham and the school boards. There is no
mechanism to defer the payments to the school boards as the due dates are enshrined
in legislation. The due dates to the Region of Durham are also established by By-Law.
1.8 Finally, there is an overriding concern with equity and fairness to taxpayers. It has long
been put forward by municipalities and AMO that income distribution programs should
reside at the provincial or federal level. It is an unfair burden to add to local residential
taxpayers to further subsidize agricultural properties through the property tax base.
CONCLUSION:
2.0 For the reasons noted above, it is recommended that the two (2) resolutions put forward
by the Clarington Agricultural Advisory Committee pertaining to 2006 farm taxation be
received for information.

Behind tall hedges tour the tranquil estate grounds of Beau Villa. Beautifully sculpted
gardens have numerous spots to sit and enjoy the many varieties of shrubs and trees,
accented by lovely perennials. A lily speckled pond and the pond's waterfall blend
naturally into the landscape. Constructed in part of the old barn's foundation is a
charming vegetable garden. Over the last five years Ruth has transformed this property
so that the gardens are not only a wonderful place to enjoy outside but also fill the view
from each window inside.
The sounds of town are left behind when you visit this country property. Built circa
1843, this charming century home is surrounded by mature pines, chestnut and spruce
trees. Birds are abundant, flitting about the fruit trees, and dining on sunflowers in the
vegetable garden. The quaint arbors, stone walls and picket fences draw guests
throughout the softly colored perennial beds, ever curious about the one ahead.
Honored in 2003 with the Newcastle Historical Societies first Restoration Award for the
restoration of this lovely colonial home, built in 1857, Eleanor and Darrel have created a
sense of`times gone by' throughout these gardens. Still standing today are two original
outbuildings, set amongst gardens bursting with color. The scent of peonies, lilacs, and
roses fill the air. Perennials and annuals accent the kitchen garden and Abigail's little
cottage.
This is the original home of Daniel Massey, founder of the Newcastle Foundry, which
later became the giant international Massey-Ferguson Company. Discuss with Tony, a
local landscaper, and his wife Helen their collection of unusual shrubs and evergreens
present throughout these gardens. Rockery, iron and water features are thoughtfully
woven into this lush garden.
Situated in the heart of the old Village of Newcastle, is the Boate House, circa 1857,
originally built by the daughter of Daniel Massey, Frances Massey Boate and her
husband William T. Boate. Set amongst towering trees the mostly shade gardens that
surround this mansion are lush with foliage. Pockets of sunlight are filled with bright
perennials and annual planters. Karen and Fred invite you to visit their lovely property.
Surrounded by century old barns Nancy and Joe have transformed their barnyard into the
`Courtyard Garden'. Rocks from the fields form the dry stone water features and the
cobbled entrance. Perennial Plants of the Year, from 1990 to present are abundant
throughout these gardens. Bursts of color from more than 300 varieties of perennials fill
the gardens, spilling over the pea stone paths, while the scent of Ivory Silk lilacs,
Magnolias, Rose of Sharon and evergreens fill the air.

Winner of the Clarington 2005 Apple Blossom Award, for Ward 1,this teaching garden
offers guests a rare opportunity to see more than 325 varieties of clematis. Stroll through
the arbors lush with rare clematis and meet expert grower Peter Keeping. Sheila's eye for
color and planting combinations fill the rock garden, woodland shade garden and
perennial gardens with color throughout the changing seasons.
Walk down this peaceful woodland drive and you will come across one of the areas most
beautiful gardens. Surrounded by towering woods let the gentle sound of trickling water
lead you through tiered perennials gardens, lush with color to the Japanese garden, the
view as beautiful outside as it is from inside. These gardens are truly Doreen and Jim's
passion and reflect a tranquility that gardening brings to all of us.
Scented lilacs, a majestic old spruce and the casual elegance of the gardens are in perfect
harmony with historic Bleakley House, built circa 1850. The deep blue streptacarpella in
the black urns set the theme for the many shades of blue in the gardens. This beautiful
town property is lush with roses, vines and flowering shrubs. In the hidden back yard
Barbara and Lyle are inspired by nature itself. A canopy of trees and natural stone
pathway make this inviting garden a place for relaxation.

RE: Delegation of Nancy Mallette
Mrs. Mallette will be speaking at Monday's GPA meeting regarding Arts in the Park.
This is a fundraising function which will be taking place on Saturday June 17th. The
function will involve tour groups visiting various artists' homes throughout Clarington.
There are 9 properties involved. Of these, 3 have seriously restricted parking
available. They are at 99 Church Street, 2804 Highway 57 and 261 Mill Street South.
In order to be able to accommodate the participants, Mrs. Mallette is requesting that
