Director, Planning Services rJ~~ Reviewed by: Franklin Wu Chief Administrative Officer ASC/PW/dv August 16, 2006 REPORT NO.: ADDENDUM #2 TO EGD-50-04 PAGE 3 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 On November 1, 2004 staff presented the Port Darlington Waterfront Park Conceptual Master Plan to the Port Darlington Community Association. On November 4, 2004 staff presented the Plan to residents of the Port Darlington community at the Bowmanville Community Forum. During these meetings, while there were questions regarding the details, timing and cost of the land acquisition and park development there was general consensus that the park is desirable and will be a highly used municipal asset. 2.0 PURPOSE 2.1 As reported to General Purpose and Administration Committee in November, 2004 (attachment 1) staff had developed a conceptual Master Plan for the Port Darlington Waterfront Park. The conceptual Master Plan was approved by Council at its meeting on November 8, 2004. 2.2 The East Beach portion of the Master Plan was amended by an addendum report on November 14, 2005 by Resolution #C-509-05. This addendum addressed the feedback staff received from the Port Darlington Harbour Company and Wiggers Custom Yachts, and citizen feedback received at public reviews in November 2004 making modifications to the conceptual layout of the park (attachment 2). 2.3 In December 2005 Council received Report PSD-146-05 which informed them of the notification the Municipality received from the Ministry of Natural Resources in November of 2005. The report alerted Council to the change in status of the Bowmanville Marsh to a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) and indicated that staff would review the implications of this change with CLOCA and other approval agencies. REPORT NO.: ADDENDUM #2 TO EGD-50-04 PAGE 4 2.4 The purpose of this report is to recommend approval of the updated West Beach Conceptual Master Plan for Port Darlington Waterfront Park (attachment 3) in light of the review by staff and comments from approval agencies in response to the PSW designation. 3.0 MASTER PLAN REVISIONS 3.1 The park elements proposed on the original conceptual master plan were based on the information available at the time it was prepared. The first addendum to the East Beach Conceptual Master Plan addressed concerns raised by Port Darlington Harbour Company, Wiggers Custom Yachts Limited and residents. 3.2 The park elements proposed on the original Conceptual Master Plan for the West Beach included a dune restoration area, volleyball courts, sun shelters, washroom facilities, canoe and kayak launch and parking area. 3.3 The designation of the PSW affects the proposed activities on the northern upland area of the West Beach plan. In addition, we have had our biologist review the sand dune area and determine a more appropriate boundary for the restoration. These factors affect the conceptual layout presented to Council in November 2004. 3.4 The plan revisions include; shifting the parking lot to the south outside of the limits of the PSW, and the elimination of the volleyball courts from this section of the West Beach while increasing the dune restoration area. The canoe and kayak launch if desired will have to be from a floating dock and may need to be shifted to another area of the marsh. The proposed walkway leading north from the park through the marsh has also been deleted. REPORT NO.: ADDENDUM #2 TO EGD-50-04 PAGE 5 3.5 The revised West Beach Conceptual Master Plan has allowed us to prepare a more refined cost estimate for use in a future capital budget. The estimated cost for the landscape elements proposed for the West Beach is approx. $1,300,000. This figure does not include the cost for any buildings or structures that would require a building permit, such as the concession/ washroom building. 4.0 CONCLUSION 4.1 It is recommended that Council approve the revised West Beach Conceptual Master Plan for Port Darlington Waterfront Park, and refer the project to the Capital Budget. 4.2 Once the lands have been acquired and the detailed construction drawings prepared, application will be made for clearances, approvals, and permits for the floating dock, washroom/concession building, and parking lot from CLOCA, and other applicable approval agencies. The plan will also be subject to further public review and the site plan process.

T he conceptual master plan, was approved by Council at its meeting of November 8, 2004. 1.2 Port Darlington Harbour Company and Wiggers Custom Yachts have indicated that all of their property on the East Beach is required for their business. In addition to the feedback from the Port Darlington Harbour Company and Wiggers Custom Yachts, the citizen feedback received during public reviews in November 2004 has assisted in the preparation of the revised plan. 1.3 The purpose of this report is to recommend an update to the east beach portion of the Port Darlington Waterfront Park Conceptual Master Plan (attachment 2) in light of staffs review of these comments and decisions taken by Council respecting COPA #39. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 At the October 25th, 2004 meeting of Council, staff were authorized to prepare appropriate amendments to the Port Darlington Neighbourhood Secondary Plan, among other things to facilitate the creation of larger, more usable park space as a focal point on the waterfront. A statutory Public Meeting was held on November 15, 2004 at which a number of residents appeared before committee with questions as to the details of the park plan and traffic management issues. 2.2 On November 1, 2004, staff presented the Port Darlington Waterfront Park Conceptual Master Plan to the Port Darlington Community Association. On . November 4, 2004, staff presented the Plan to residents of the Port Darlington community at the Bowmanville Community Forum. During these meetings, it appeared that while there are questions regarding the details, timing and cost of Addendum to EGD-50-04 Page 3 . the park development there is general consensus that the park is desirable and will be a highly used municipal asset. 2.3 On January 17'h, 2005 the Municipality approved an amendment to the Port Darlington Neighbourhood Secondary Plan (COPA #39) which provides for the shifting of East Beach Road north from its present location. This will reduce the area now designated Village Commercial by the Secondary Plan which is in place. Two amendments have been made to COPA #39 to address objections made by Port Darlington Harbour Company, Wiggers Custom Yachts and Mr. Glen Ransom (By-laws 2005-070 and 2005-101). The revised plan . recommended in this report is consistent with COPA #39. 3.0 MASTER PLAN REVISIONS 3.1 The park elements proposed on the original master plan for the East Beach include a large central gathering node constructed near the waters edge at the south extension of Port Darlington Road. This space would be used for special events such as concerts in the park, fireworks displays, art exhibits, etc. A nautically themed children's playground, water play area, washroom building, and concession stand are also proposed for this portion of the park. Large open green spaces would be provided for picnicking or informal play. All of these elements have been preserved in the revised Conceptual Master Plan by shifting eastward the proposed park uses that encroached on the lands owned by Port Darlington Harbour Company and Wiggers Custom Yachts. The shift does not delete any of the significant features of the Conceptual Master Plan. The plan has also been revised to include park uses on the existing municipal lands on the west side of Port Darlington Road. They add approximately .64 ha to the East Beach portion of the park. The addition of these lands to the master plan allows for the relocation of parking away from the remaining residential area Addendum to EGD-50-04 Page 4 on East Beach Road. The proposed parking lot on the original master plan was one of the most significant concerns expressed by residents of East Beach Road. Moving it away from the residential area will free up more green space close to the lake and will also reduce vehicular traffic in the vicinity of the remaining homes on East Beach Road. The plan also illustrates the existing alignment of East Beach Road and Port Darlington Road as well as the proposed realignment of East Beach Road. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS 4.1 It is recommended that Council approve the revised East Beach portion of the Port Darlington Waterfront Park Conceptual Master Plan.
