DELEGATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS
BUSINESS ARISING
Jury Lands Foundation (Camp 30) – B. Weiler reported that a report recommending the
intention to designate the property including six buildings at 2020 Lambs Road,
Bowmanville (Former Boys Training School/Camp 30) under Part IV of the Ontario
Heritage Act will be forwarded to the October 23, 2017 Planning and Development
Committee meeting. The designation would apply to the entire property. In the process
of determining the future use of the property, the property owners have been in
conversation with the Municipality and Jury Lands Foundation and are aware of the
intention to designate the property.
16
2 | Page
The Committee engaged in a discussion regarding how the designation would affect the
future development of the property including how the designation over the whole
property would impact on the owner’s ability to develop the lands in the future. The
possibility of amending the designating By-law for the purpose of enabling context-
sensitive development was discussed as a course of action that the owner could
proceed with.
The Committee noted that if 2020 Lambs Road becomes a designated heritage
property, all new development on properties adjacent to 2020 Lambs Road would
require a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), as per Official Plan policy concerning
development on properties adjacent to a designated heritage property.
This item was received for information by the Committee.
Goodyear Property – B. Weiler reported that Community Planning staff will be
undertaking a review of the Bowmanville East Town Centre Secondary Plan within
which the Goodyear property is situated. A heritage evaluation will form part of the
review and the Goodyear property will be included in this review. There are currently no
timelines for the review’s completion.
Hollingshead Property – No news to report
REPORTS FROM OTHER COMMITTEES
Bowmanville Community Improvement Programs – No meeting to report.
Orono Community Improvement Program – P. Vogel reported that the Orono CIP group
met on October 4, 2017.
Results from the survey of past CIP grant recipients was very positive in that over 50%
of grant recipients responded. Orono CIP statistics were communicated including how
much money had been used and the number and types of grants issued. These
statistics together with other background work will provide the basis for
recommendations for a proposed amendment to the Orono CIP. The proposed
amendment to the CIP would be the second amendment to the CIP and would include
increases to the value and types of grants, terms limits to Community Liaison Group
members and a sunset clause for when the grants should be reviewed. The intention is
to have the proposed amendments to three CIP’s at a single Planning and Development
Committee meeting, likely in January 2018.
Also discussed were possible options for a public washroom, a ‘Win This Space’ contest
as an incentive to fill vacant commercial spaces, a lack of downtown parking and an
entry feature across from the Cenotaph and other maintenance issues.

CORRESPONDENCE AND COUNCIL REFERRALS
2020 Lambs Road, Bowmanville (Former Boys Training School/Camp 30) – A Report to
the October 23, 2017 Planning and Development Committee meeting recommending
the intention to designate 2020 Lambs Road under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act
was addressed earlier in the meeting under the Jury Lands Foundation (Camp 30)
‘Business Arising’ section of the agenda.
282 Liberty Street North, Bowmanville – A Report recommending the addition of the
property at 282 Liberty Street North, Bowmanville to the Municipal Register is on the
October 23, 2017 Planning and Development Committee meeting agenda. At the June
12, 2017 Planning and Development Committee meeting Council referred the matter
back to the Clarington Heritage Committee and requested that Committee meet with the
owner of 282 Liberty Street North and report back. The Municipal Inventory
subcommittee met with the owners, Mr and Mrs. Zakarow and their son Peter, at 282
Liberty Street North on September 12, 2017 to help address the owner’s concerns with
adding the property to the Register. The owner is aware of staff’s recommendation,
however, staff have not received a response from the owner to date.
PROJECT REPORTS
Subcommittee Reports:
Municipal Inventory and Register Committee – No meeting to report. The subcommittee
plans to meet in the coming weeks and report back at the next meeting.
Public Outreach and Education Committee – No meeting to report. The subcommittee
plans to meet in the coming weeks to prepare a presentation for the Durham Region
Heritage Committees event in Whitby on October 28. The topic of the presentation is to
be the Heritage Register. No final agenda has been received to date and B. Weiler will
follow up and forward the agenda to the Committee once it’s received.
NEW BUSINESS
Budget Preparation for 2018 – The Heritage Committee will need to decide what
projects to undertake next year in order to determine the appropriate budget for 2018.
The Committee engaged in discussion about potential projects including the possibility
of a half-sized desk calendar. The final numbers regarding how much of last year’s
19
5 | Page
budget was used and whether the Committee broke even was discussed. D. Addington
will report back on this for next meeting.
The Committee also had a discussion around how the municipal election in October
2018 will affect the ability to carry out budgeted projects. The length of committee
member terms may pose difficulty in deciding on projects that might carry over past the
election period.
The Committee expressed interest in seeking a budget from Council for educational
purposes such as sending Committee members to conferences which would include
travel and accommodation costs. The two main annual conferences are the National
Trust conference and the Ontario Heritage Trust which B. Weiler reported as being
scheduled for June 7-9th 2018 in Sault Ste. Marie.
The Committee had a discussion whereby it was thought that, in terms of the budget
raised by the Heritage Committee, the budget amount from the previous year would be
appropriate for the upcoming year.
17.38 Moved by T. Taylor, seconded by Steve Conway
THAT the 2018 Clarington Heritage Committee budget be equal to the 2017 budget and
that the calendar project be included in this budget
“CARRIED”
V. Suppan discussed the possibility for the Municipality to consider a heritage property
tax rebate incentive program for designated homes similar to what is in place in
neighbouring municipalities. V. Suppan stated that the program could potentially seek to
refund between 10% - 40% of the local and educational portion of the tax bill for
designated homes with an easement placed on the subject properties which would be in
line with what other municipalities in Durham have done. B. Weiler stated that the option
of whether to pursue a tax rebate or heritage grant program incentive program was the
subject of a staff report in 2013 which had concluded that a heritage grant would be the
most effective incentive option. B. Weiler stated that it is unlikely that both a tax rebate
program and grant would be implemented simultaneously with the grant program. The
grant program is gaining a foothold with designated owners, there is increasing demand
annually. Council did not increase the budget for the grant program for 2017. The
heritage incentive grants are available to designated properties similar to a tax rebate
but for specific works that address the heritage features of the property.
17.39 Moved by K. Warren, seconded by B. Malone

THAT the Clarington Heritage Committee encourages an increase to the 2018
budget allocated for the Heritage Incentive Grant Program from the amount allocated in
the 2017 budget

17.40 Moved by T. Taylor, seconded B. Malone
THAT the Clarington Heritage Committee has no objections to the construction of the
sunroom addition to the rear of 483 King Avenue East as proposed by the applicant
“CARRIED”
Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport Environmental Registry – D. Addington reported
that the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport has a proposed a new guidance
document providing advice on best practices to explain PPS (2014) policy changes
related to cultural heritage matters. A link to the draft document was forwarded to the
Committee members for review. The Ministry is seeking feedback on this draft
document by November 17, 2017. The Committee members were encouraged to
forward comments to D. Addington who will compile the comments and forward them to
the Ministry.
V. Suppan stated that the draft document was a very useful tool that should be used by
the Planning Department in their review of Official Plan and Secondary Plan policies. K.
Warren stated the document was very readable and well laid out making it easy to
consult for a given topic.
Belmont Residence (Foster Northwest proposed subdivision, Newcastle) – The
Committee was circulated on the proposed draft plan for the residential subdivision
proposed in the Foster Northwest area of Newcastle for which a public meeting report is
scheduled for the October 23, 2017 Planning and Development meeting. The
Committee discussed the need for the Belmont home to be clearly linked to the creek to
reflect its heritage as the location of the first fish hatchery in Canada. The Committee
questioned why the neighbourhood park is proposed to be separate from the Belmont
house. The Committee stated that the link from the Belmont house to the creek and
open area should be strengthened from the current proposal. The current site plan fails
to adequately address this link as the Belmont house is separated from the creek by a
21

road and is substantially enclosed by residential lots which fails to enhance the
presence of the heritage house.
17.41 Moved by K. Warren, seconded by T. Taylor
THAT the Clarington Heritage Committee recommends strengthening the link
from the Belmont House to the creek and enhancing the overall character and view of
the home by adding a pathway to the creek and increasing the parkland space
surrounding the home.

Next meeting: November 21, 2017, 7:00 p.m., at Clarington Municipal Offices in Room

Report Overview
The development of the Port Darlington Neighbourhood and the partial redesign of its road
network lead to corresponding adjustments regarding specific road names and their exact
extent. Notification of the October 25, 2017 Public Information Centre at Bobby C’s and the
Planning and Development Committee Meeting was mailed to all affected property owners
and surrounding community. The Public Information Centre and tonight’s meeting have
provided opportunity for public comment
1. Proposal
Council, at their Meeting of October 10, 2017, passed a resolution authorizing staff to
take appropriate steps for the renaming of Port Darlington Road to East Shore Drive,
from Lake Road to the south boundary of the Hydro One Corridor, specifically, where the
remaining portion of Port Darlington Road intersects with East Shore Drive. Council had
earlier authorized staff to take steps regarding renaming a portion of East Beach Road
including the re-addressing of local properties on East Beach Road.
2. Background
Engineering Services Department has been undertaking an Environmental Assessment
for this new road. In July 2016, five optional alignments for this new road were
presented at a PIC. The alignment scenarios all provided for realigning West Beach
Road to connect with East Shores Drive with a roundabout at Port Darlington Road.
Alternative 1 is shown in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1 – Environmental Assessment Alternative 1 – July 2016
34
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-081-17 Page 3
After further study, a new and preferred alignment was determined that provided for an
alignment along the south side of the corridor rather than the north side. The revised
alignment was to accommodate concerns of Hydro One to avoid high voltage towers but
it also minimized the impacts on private property, impact on wildlife habitat, provided
better traffic flow and means fewer changes to the intersection with West Beach Road.
The revised alignment incorporates a continuous route from Lake Road through the
hydro corridor and into the plan of subdivision. The southerly segment of Port Darlington
Road connects at a T intersection on the curve. (See Figure 2 below).
Figure 2: Environmental Assessment - Recommended alignment –February 2017
The new alignment has resulted in a reconsideration of the street names for the area.
3. Public Information Centre
Notice of Public Information Centre and this Public Meeting was circulated first class mail
to all property owners south of Highway 401, north of Lake Ontario, east of Bowmanville
Creek and west of the Lambs Road alignment, including the Port Darlington Marina
Villas Condominiums townhouses.
Staff attended a Public Information Centre at Bobby C’s on October 25, 2017 to provide
information on the proposed changes and to get input from affected property owners and
tenants. Approximately 20 residents, some of whom were directly affected attended.
The opinions of the residents were:
• Cost to property owners for street name change is much greater than the goodwill
payment;
35
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-081-17 Page 4
• A business owner indicated his costs would be much higher due to the need to
change the sign on his building;
• Traffic backup at Liberty/Lake Road intersection could be alleviated by directing truck
traffic to Bennett Road once Lake Road and Port Darlington Road intersect with
Bennett Road;
• The CN Railroad crossing at Port Darlington Road will be extremely congested; and
• One household on East Beach said a change of their address was unnecessary as
they pick up their mail deliveries. The amount of money and time to make the change
is insulting. The change of address will not help with traffic produced by Kaitlin
Developments and a right hand turn onto Lake Road will not solve the traffic problem
at the Liberty Street interchange and at Bowmanville’s other north-south routes.
Figure 3: New Street and Address Changes.
36
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-081-17 Page 5
4.Proposed Street Name and Street Address Number Changes
From a street-naming perspective, not changing the name of any part of Port Darlington
Road is somewhat similar to the current situation for Waverley Road. Staff believe it is
better for the continuous route, which will carry the majority of the traffic into the new
neighbourhood, to have one name. It is also important that Port Darlington Road be
maintained as the road that passes through the historic Port Darlington. It is thus
proposed that the north end of the existing Port Darlington Road from Lake Road to the
Hydro Corridor be renamed East Shore Drive connecting through the hydro corridor to
the street within the Lakebreeze plan of subdivision. The segment of the proposed
renaming is shown on Figure 3.
The renaming of a connecting portion of East Beach Road that was constructed to
facilitate the new waterfront park to Port Darlington Road is to allow for a continuous use
of Port Darlington Road across the Bowmanville waterfront from the Bowmanville Creek
to Bennett Road. The street renaming results in address renumbering for less than ten
properties. To have an optimal numbering sequence, the re-numbering will be finalized
after registration of the Lakebreeze plan of subdivision.
4.3 The timing of the two above-mentioned street name changes and related street address
number changes is anticipated to be June 1, 2018 but, ultimately should be at such time
as the revised road network is completed.
5.Goodwill Payment
Four residential properties and three industrial properties, plus tenants would be affected
by the street renaming. In previous street naming situations, the Municipality has offered
a “goodwill payment” to affected property owners and tenants. The payment is recognized
as not covering the actual costs, but is a goodwill gesture. The current goodwill payment
is as follows:
•Business and Institutional Owners and Tenants $200.00
•Residential Owners and Tenants $75.00
5.2 The preliminary estimate of the number of properties affected by the street name
changes, based on the recommended payment rate would be approximately $2,000,
depending on the number of tenants. The costs of this payment would be recovered from
the developer.
37

Report PSD-081-17 Page 6
6. Discussion
There was little opposition to the actual street name change itself but significant concerns
were raised with respect to the traffic, impacts of development and the costs and
inconvenience associated with the street name change.
A number of the concerns raised by residents are with respect to traffic volumes, turning
movements and congestion at the certain intersections. These matters were considered
at the time of the approval of the plan of subdivision and appropriate traffic studies were
undertaken. In addition, the Environmental Assessment has examined the means of best
means of conveying traffic into and out of the new residential neighbourhood which has
led to the continuous curvilinear road design. The purpose of this report is strictly to deal
with the road renaming.
With respect to the cost and time associated with the street name change, it should be
noted that once approved and before the effective date, the Planning Services
Department notifies numerous agencies and utilities, including Canada Post, of the street
name and address changes. This will alleviate to some extent the inconvenience for
residents. Nevertheless, it is acknowledged that there will be inconvenience and time
required for residents and businesses to change their addresses. The changes can be
made gradually (such as at the time of driver’s licence renewal) and the Canada Post
provides for a transition period. The street name and address changes are contemplated
to occur around June of 2018, which also allows time for the transition and notification.
The property at 51 Port Darlington Road has no business name but uses the address as
the building identifier for the tenants that operate out of this building. This is a unique
situation. It is recommended that the reasonable costs of replacing this sign be covered
by proponent of the Lakebreeze subdivision. (Figure 4)
Figure 4: Business premises showing signage
38
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-081-17 Page 7
The renaming proposed allows for Port Darlington Road to be retained along the old
port’s east edge and be extended across the waterfront to Bennett Road, joining the new
residential community with the historic port are and reinforcing the neighbourhood’s
identity. The renaming of the north portion of Port Darlington Road to East Shore Drive
provides for a continuous street name for the new curvilinear arterial road extending from
the Lake Road to the waterfront. While it may take some time for residents to adjust to
the renamed road, over the longer term it will be more readily understood and less
confusing.
7. Conclusion
7.1 It is respectfully recommended that the proposed street name changes be approved and
that staff be authorized to recover from the developer of the Port Darlington Lakebreeze
Subdivision the goodwill payments as outlined in this report.
8. Strategic Plan Application
Not applicable.

RE: Renaming of the North Portion of Port Darlington Road to East Shore Drive and of a
portion of East Beach Road to Port Darlington Road
File # PLN 25.1.55
As the property owner of 95 East Beach Rd directly affected by the proposed plan, I would like
to get my concerns and suggestions on record. In my opinion, the proposed plan (Report PSD-
081-17) is not addressing all issues and has not addressed each individual property circumstances
fully and appropriately.
I have attached a site plan for your reference to allow a better understanding of the road mapping
(in orange is the existing roadway, which I suggest as the link from my property to East Beach
Rd and in red is the suggested road change suggested by the builder)
A. The road cutting plan to make 2 roadways: principal road Port Darlington Rd and
secondary road East Beach Road:
The proposed plan suggests to have a small road way leading to my property but it is not
addressed in the plan how this new road bifurcation is going to be signed and named – is it in the
plan to have a 2nd sign with “Port Darlington Rd” from the main Port Darlington public road
leading to my property in order to locate my property? In this case, there will be 2 Port of
Darlington Rd roadways with one bifurcating going south and stopping at my home and the other
roadway continuing from the main one. Having 2 Port of Darlington Rd is a discontinuity in
itself besides being also a source of confusion in finding the way to my home, especially coming
from the East.
B. East Beach Road already exists and my property is the last number on this road:
In my opinion, property 95 East Beach Rd should stay part of East Beach Rd for reasons of
continuity and uniformity of types of homes and addresses as explained below and this could be
easily be achieved by connecting my property to the remaining of East Beach Rd using the
existing road way (as per attached marked up drawing). My property will then be the last
one on East Beach road going eastwards and no address change will therefore be needed.
Keeping the current address will not only make sense in terms of best continuity/uniformity of
type of addresses and homes in this area but also in terms of less confusion when finding my
home thanks to this continuity in types of addresses.
As mentioned above, there is no reason why the connection road to my property should
not remain East Beach Rd, independently of how it is connected to the main road because it is a
separate roadway altogether which affects only my property. The concern expressed in section
4.1 regarding “not changing the name of any part of Port Darlington Road” does not apply to my
property. In fact, keeping the East Beach Rd name to the road leading to my property will give it
a much better consistency in type of addresses. Among the 3 suggested properties having to
change their address names, I am the only property situated south of the existing East Beach
Road and therefore can be connected to East Beach Road easily via the existing roadway parallel
to the Port Darlington Rd without affecting the continuity of the Port Darlington Road.
Keeping my property as 95 East Beach Rd will provide a much better uniformity to the type of
addresses in the sense that all south properties backing onto the lake belonging to the existing
East Beach Rd will all remain related and have “East Beach Rd” name in them - my property
will just be the last house among them to the east side of East Beach Rd.
C. Miscellaneous concerns:
Lastly, if the proposed plan is passed, I also have concerns that:
- The link of East Beach Road with the new Port Darlington to the east of my property is not
planned to accommodate snow plowing in the winter months. Therefore, the timely and quality
of snow removal on the road leading to my property will be degraded. The likelihood of this
happening is many-fold increased when the suggested connection is small and/or narrow in size,
is a secondary bifurcation to the main route and carries a sharp turn and the snowplower cannot
pass.
- The suggested bifurcation onto Port Darlington Rd is too close to the roundabout which can
make commuting to the west more difficult and unsafe due to the oncoming traffic from the east
round about whereas if I join Port Darlington Rd from the corner of East Beach Road, it will be
at an official road corner and there will be enough roadway for safe left and right turning.
- The legal costs and inconvenience to me are not justified by the proposed name change while
also leaving the address unchanged results in essentially no cost or inconvenience to the
municipality of Clarington.
Finally, I would like to mention that the compensation in lieu offered is inadequately weighed
against the arising legal costs as well as the huge amount of time that will need to be spent on
changing the address with each and every single third party - and there will be many of them as I
have been at this residence for almost 10 years.
I thank you for your time and for taking into consideration my concerns and addressing them.
Best regards,
Ms. Qui-Nhi Queenie Tran-Nguyen

Subject: Lambs Lane Road Widening
File: LD050-052
The Planning and Development Committee agenda on Monday November 13, 2017,
included report PSD-058-17. In considering the said report, Committee provided the
following direction to staff:
“That staff be directed to meet with the applicants; and
That staff report back to Council on November 20, 2017 with respect to
amending the conditions of approval for the consent applications on the west
side of Lambs Lane, north of Third Street for a road widening for severed and
retained parcels on the west side of Lambs Lane.”
The width of Lambs Lane was being reviewed as a result of a delegation by Mr.
Przysienzny of 65 Lambs Lane to General Government Committee on Monday
November 6, 2017. Mr. Przysienzny’s concerns related primarily to the narrow width on
Lambs Lane not allowing two cars to pass without driving onto the grass verge, current
parking issues and safety concerns regarding the interface with pedestrians and traffic
as there are no sidewalks on Lambs Lane.
The Builders do not agree to provide a Road Widening
On Wednesday November 15, 2017 staff met with Richard Bouma, Ryan Holland and
Katrina Metzner of Holland Homes. Figure 1 identifies the land ownership and
proposed new lots as approved by Land Division Committee.
Both land owners object to providing a widening on the severed and or retained parcels.
Although both agreed to site the new homes further back on the lot to accommodate
more off-street parking. The Holland Homes representatives provided the following
reasons for their objection:
o Lambs Lane was just reconstructed without any widenings. If a widening was
required it should have been determined back in 2016 when the reconstruction of
Lambs was approved;
o A wider road will encourage on-street parking;
Page | 2
o A road widening will decrease the lot area of their lots. They are proposing to
construct bungalows, and their existing designs which they were planning to use,
would not comply with lot coverage if a 5 metre widening is taken;
o After purchasing 66 Lambs Lane they found out that there would be no road
widening and as a result purchased 60 Lambs Lane with this in mind;
o If the road widening is for a sidewalk this will cause multiple issues, including:
Reduced parking for the existing house at 70 Lambs Lane causing more on-
street parking;
A sidewalk would negate the additional parking that can be accommodated
off-street with increased setbacks; and
Clarington will be required to expropriate land from the homeowner at 58
Lambs Lane and remove the existing tree at the front of the property (that
was deemed to be preserved during the road reconstruction), in order to
have the sidewalk align with the sidewalk at the north/east corner of Lambs
and Third St.
Mr. Bouma concurred with the comments of Holland Homes and in addition suggested
that the narrow dead end street is a unique feature of this area in the Old Bowmanville
Neighbourhood and feels it needs to remain as it is.
The Builders propose to setback garages 9.5 metres from the road allowance
Both Holland Homes and Mr. Bouma recognize that the narrow street makes on-street
parking impossible. As a result they both agreed that they would be willing to site all
new dwellings on the severed and retained lots a minimum of 9.5 metres from the
property line to the garage. This would apply to all new houses on both sides of the
street.
Their proposal would provide an additional 3.5 metres greater than the minimum in
zoning by-law of 6.0 metres. In combination with the 2 metres of boulevard between the
curb and property line this would have the effect of allowing two vehicles to be parked in
tandem between the garage and the curb. As all new dwellings were proposed to have
two outdoor parking spaces side by side in order to comply with the zoning by-law, the
additional setback together with the boulevard area will accommodate four standard
cars in each driveway. In addition, the single detached dwellings will each have a
double car garage.
Municipal Public Information Centre and Road Design
At the Public Information Centre conducted by the Engineering Services Department
prior to the reconstruction of Lambs Lane, two main concerns from existing residents
were:
o possible road widening or expropriation; and
o fear of having a sidewalk in front of their homes.
Page | 3
These comments were taken into consideration during the design and reconstruction of
the road. As a result the existing sidewalk was removed during the reconstruction of the
section of Lambs Lane between Third Street and Veterans Avenue. Therefore a
sidewalk was not contemplated north of Third Street.
Summary
This is a unique situation with considerable redevelopment occurring on this segment of
a lane. The road design was based on resident input, limitations on the existing road
allowance and the placement of existing structures. The builder’s proposal addresses
the concern regarding the lack of on-street parking but doesn’t provide for a sidewalk.

David
