Council if Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) had finished their
assessment and if all previous issues have been resolved. Ms. Rodesky added
that she is concerned with the displacement of the flora and fauna and the removal
of mature trees and asked for this area to be protected. She is concerned that the
ground water under Darlington Boulevard will be affected by the grading for this
development. Ms. Rodesky added that 15 and 15b Darlington Boulevard are
always flooded. She concluded by asking about the proposed retaining wall
behind 5, 7, and 9 Darlington Boulevard and how these properties will be
impacted.
7.2 Robert Tompkins and Dawn Wheeler were present regarding their concerns with
the drainage and swale related to Lot 32 in the Proposed Delpark Homes
Development (Item 1(a) of the October 2, 2017 Planning and Development
Committee Report). They made a verbal presentation to accompany an electronic
presentation. Mr. Tompkins explained that he is the owner of 42 Mill Lane. He
explained that there are currently issues with flooding on this property and the
proposed grading will result in all water draining onto his property. Mr. Tompkins
added they creation of a swale will result in the tile bed flooding. He continued by
explaining that the addition of two lots behind his property will reduce privacy and
the lower the value of his home.
Ms. Wheeler asked Council why the three remaining trees on Lot 32 are being
preserved. She explained that that these are not healthy trees and she is
concerned with the roots will become an issue in the future. Ms. Wheeler asked
for these trees to be removed. She referred to a photo of the flooding on Lot 32
and noted that she believes this will increase due to the run off from surrounding
properties. Ms. Wheeler advised Council that she paid a significant premium for
her lot. She stated that the severance will result in a ditch and this will increase
the flooding on her property. Ms. Wheeler advised Council that she feels Delpark
Homes is getting preferential treatment. She concluded by asking if the large
rocks on Lot 32 will be removed and for the issues with the trees and drainage to
be addressed.

residents and they are still not satisfied with the plan. She noted that this is an
older established neighbourhood and it needs to be preserved. Ms. Schmidt

this area. Mr. Kowalczyk added that the traffic study was conducted from 7:00AM
to 7:00PM and it does not capture the busiest times in the area as residents leave

with loss of green space and asked for the lots to be larger in size to keep with the
existing design.

Approval of Minutes
017-20 Moved by Eric Bowman, seconded by Tom Barrie
“That the minutes of the Aug17, 2017 meeting be approved”
Carried
Andy Allison, CAO thanked the Committee for the invitation to attend and indicated he
was here to listen and learn.
Carolyn Puterbough, OMAFRA provided an overview of OMAFRAs role in the
development of the Agriculture System for the Province. From the 4-Plan review the
direction was to look at protecting farm viability in addition to protecting farm land. From
there a number of initiatives have been undertaken to map additional layers of
information. There is a desire to have consistency across the province in the definitions
being used and when two political jurisdictions meet to have the mapping flow across
the boundary. The Environmental Bill of Rights posting for the Agriculture System
solicited comments on the mapping and how the agricultural system will be integrated
into Regional and Local Official Plans. The comment period closed on October 6, 2017.
34
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington Oct 12, 2017
The Municipality has submitted comments and the Committee has provided comments.
These comments were e-mailed out to committee members prior to the meeting. The
Land Evaluation Area Review which has been carried out by other Regions (Peel, York,
Halton, Hamilton) has not been completed for Durham.
The comments provided reflect the concerns voiced by committee members as Carolyn
ran through her presentation, touching on the different items the province is attempting
to address. It will be very important to be involved when the Region is carrying out their
municipal comprehensive review of the Regional Official Plan.
Chris Jones, CLOCA spoke about the natural heritage system which is also out for
review from the Province. It is determined by the features on the ground and meant to
protect creeks, streams, wetlands and woodlots. What it means is that when looking at
new development (e.g. new barn) there is typically a setback from the creek/stream.
The set backs are general policies. When looking to locate the barn that is when
consultation should happen with the Conservation Authority. The Conservation
Authority has some tools to assist with development permits, which this committee
assisted in developing.
Business Arising
Zoning: Planning Staff are continuing to work away on the rural zoning by-law review.
If there are any additional comments please send them along to Amy.
Correspondence and Committee Reports
Tax Talk from DRFA – there has been a number of items of communication on the
proposed changes to the federal tax laws that impact farm corporations and small
businesses. DRFA has provided background materials which were forwarded to
members via e-mail. Summarized below:
Horticulture and tender fruit industry is very worried about the minimum wage
proposals and how it will affect their operations and existing employees.
Carbon Tax is 3 cents a cubic metre for gas, being paying it since beginning of
the year, presumably there are programs that will be announced to provide
incentives; for greenhouses and drying operations this is a significant cost.
Income Tax Act- changes to the small business and how capital assets (like land)
can be transferred to family members, any farms that are incorporated (which is
most) will be affected, especially as it affects succession planning.
Durham Agriculture Advisory Committee:
• 2017 DAAC Farm Tour September 20 at Picov Downs in Ajax, different stations
were set up for educational displays/talks. Excellent lunch, interesting to learn
the direct and in-direct impacts on the economy of Durham Region.
Disappointing that no political representatives from Clarington attended.
35
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington Oct 12, 2017
Durham Region Federation of Agriculture:
• The Ag education trailer is in high demand it will be at the fall fairs in the area, a
number of request from outside the Durham area are being addressed if the
trailer and attendant are available.
Clarington Board of Trade:
• CBOT Staff working on a video about the agricultural opportunities in Clarington.
There will be vignettes on history of farming, technology in farming, real dirt on
farming and different commodity groups.
Farm Connections
• Collection of agricultural families that have been in the business of farming for
150 years, now at 130 families with 38 from Clarington. These families will be
honoured at the Agriculture Gala in October, tickets are sold out. There will be
an additional program to recognize the families at another event.
• Carolyn informed the group that the program developed by Farm Connections for
recognizing families in agriculture impressed the Minister and will be rolled out on
a provincial basis. Janet Horner of the GGH agricultural group has committed
that she will submit the Durham family into the registry.
New Business
Rural Ontario Leaders Award – nominations are due November 15th. Some
suggestions discussed. Brenda as Chair can provide support letters for nominations.
Questions for the Minister for meeting of November 2nd, the group suggested a number
of questions that could be sent to the Minister in advance of the meeting. Will ask the
Minister for a brief (20 minute) preamble on the Farms Forever Discussion Paper.
Format for the meeting will be as per usual. Additional chairs will be provided in Room
1C for any additional attendees.

Veridian Corporation and the Veridian Connections Inc. boards have terms expire at the end
of this year. We are writing to request that your municipality consider extending the terms
of these directors to provide leadership continuity as we pursue a potential merger with

Mrs. Fisher was appointed to the Veridian Corporation board by the Municipality of
Clarington for a three year term effective January 1, 2015. Mr. deBoer was recommended
for appointment to the Veridian Connections Inc. board for a three year term effective
January 1, 2015; a recommendation that was adopted by the Veridian Corporation board
when it made its appointments to the board of Veridian Connections Inc.
It is anticipated that the merger process that Veridian has embarked on with Whitby Hydro
will continue beyond the end of these directors' current terms. It is our view that a change
in the composition of the boards of Veridian Corporation and Veridian Connections Inc.
during this critical time is not in the best interest of the corporation or its shareholders. The
current boards have been deeply engaged in the merger process to date. We believe that
the corporation would benefit from the continued leadership of the current directors. We
therefore ask that the Municipality of Clarington consider the re-appointment of Mrs. Fisher
to the Veridian Corporation board that it recommend Mr. d eBoer re-appointment to the
Veridian Connections Inc. board, both with one year terms commencing January 1, 2018.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Regards,
Michael Angemeer Adrian Foster
