PRESENTATION
Patrick Puccini, URS Canada Inc. - Consultant Project Team addressed Council in
regards to an update on-the Highway 35 Four-Lane Planning and Preliminary Design
Study. Patrick Puccini provided a brief history of the Preliminary Design Study
indicating it started in May, 2000. He noted the main area of study consisted of
Highway 35 with a connection to Highway 115. Patrick Puccini stated the study had
consisted of many public information sessions and the recommended alternative was 5-
5A widening of.4 lanes and inclusion of a concrete barrier in the southbound lanes of
Highway 35, realignment of Highway 7A, across Highway 35 with a Parlco interchange,
providing access to residents and easy movement of agricultural equipment.
Mr. Puccini stated the preferred alternative was to connect Highway 7 A to Highway 35
which would accommodate a large volume of traffic. Environmental impacts to this
alternative would consist of fringe impacts to the Oak Ridges Moraine. Patrick Puccini
stated all consultations with Council were complete and next steps were external
agency meetings, finalization of preliminary design and development of a transportation
environmental study report.

1.0 APPLICATION DETAILS
1.1 Owner/Applicant: Gertrude Tomina
1.2 Rezoning:
from "Agricultural Exception (A-76)" to an appropriate zone to
permit the addition of an indoor golf driving range (Golf Dome) and
. club house facility.
1.3 location:
2735 Hancock Road, Courtice, Part lot 26, Concession 2, former
Township of Darlington
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 On May 24, 2006, Ms. Gertrude Tomina submitted a rezoning application to permit the
construction of an indoor golf driving range and clubhouse building at 2735 Hancock
Road in Courtice. There is an existing outdoor golf driving range on the property as well
as a single-detached residential dwelling. The application was deemed complete on
August 28, 2006.
2.2 The Applicant has also submitted a related site plan application (SPA 2006-0014).
3.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
3.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 400 metres of the subject
property and public notice signs were installed by the Applicant on the Hancock Road
and Highway 2 frontages.
3.2 At the time of writing this report, Staff has not received any objections to the proposal.
4.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING AREAS
4.1 Site Characteristics
located on the northeast corner of Hancock Road and Highway 2, the lands are
currently occupied by a single-detached residential dwelling and an outdoor golf driving
range facility. A significant portion of land on the east side of the site (approximately
3.65 hectares according to the Ministry of Transportation) contains land identified as the
"Previously Technically Preferred Route" for a Highway 407 to Highway 401 link
interchange. There is also a telecommunications tower on the site just to the west of
the "Previously Technically Preferred Route." There is also a significant woodlot on the
northeast corner of the property. .

5.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY
5.1 Provincial Policv Statement
The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) indicates that development offering recreational,
tourism and other economic opportunities are to be promoted. The proposal for an
indoor golf driving range and club house building should be viewed as a. significant
recreational and tourism-related opportunity for the Municipality given that it would be
just the second such facility available to the public in the eastern-end of the Greater
Toronto Area.
5.2 The PPS requires that development be appropriate to the infrastructure which is
planned or available and effort must be made to avoid the need for unjustified and/or
uneconomical expansion of the existing infrastructure. This proposal is outside of the
Courtice settlement area and therefore the extension of municipal water and sewer
services is not permitted. The Applicant has advised Staff that the proposed
development will be on private sewer and water services.
5.3 The PPS indicates that development and site alteration shall not be permitted in
significant wetlands and significant woodlands, among other natural features. In
addition, development and site alteration is not permitted unless the ecological function
603
REPORT NO.: PSD-105-06
PAGE 4
of the "adjacent lands" has been evaluated and there are no negative impacts. This
analysis has not been completed.
5.4. Places to Grow - Growth Plan
This proposal is not required to conform to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden
Horseshoe because the application was made prior to the Plan coming into effect on
June 16, 2006.
5.5 Greenbelt Plan
The property is located within the Natural Heritage System of the Protected Countryside
and is therefore subject to a number of rural area policies set out in the Greenbelt Plan.
Specifically, the proposal is considered to be a non-agricultural, recreational use as
defined in the Plan. A major recreational use are those recreational uses which require
large-scale modification of terrain, vegetation or both and usually also require large-
scale buildings or structures.
Non-agricultural recreational uses are permitted in the Greenbelt provided they are not
located in a Prime Agricultural Area as defined in the Clarington Official Plan. Proposed
non-agricultural uses must demonstrate that the use is appropriate in the rural area, that
proposed water and sewer servicing is appropriate, that no negative impacts on key
natural heritage features or hydrologic features are generated by the use, and that the
biodiversity and connectivity of the Natural Heritage System is not disturbed. The
proposed indoor golf driving range and club house building must demonstrate that each
of the above requirements has been met.
6.0 OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY
6.1 Durham Reaional Official Plan
The Durham Region Official Plan designates the lands as "Major Open Space."
Recreational activities are to be permitted in these areas as long as every effort is made
to preserve ecological features inCluding groundwater resources, habitats for plants, fish
and wildlife, flood and erosion control, and scenic and recreational values. Provided this
is demonstrated to be the case by the Applicant, this. proposal would conform to the
Durham Regional Official Plan.
6.2 Clarinaton Official Plan
6.2.1 The Clarington Official Plan designates the lands at Hancock Road and Highway 2 in
Courtice as "Green Space." Lands designated as such are to be used primarily for
conservation and active or passive recreational uses. This proposal to add an indoor
golf and club house facility is considered to be an active recreational use provided that
the nature and extent of the uses proposed in the "club house" are recreational in
nature.
604

REPORT NO.:PSD~105-06
PAGE 5
6.2.2 An Environmental Impact Study is triggered by the fact that the property is located on
the designated "Lake Iroquois Beach" as shown in Map C1 of \re Clarington Official
Plan, as well as by the fact that the property contains identified \~ignificant woodlands
and is within the Greenbelt. . I'
6.2.3 Staff requested the applicant to prepare draft Terms of Reference and will authorize the
work at such time as the Terms of Reference are received and approved.
7.0 ZONING .BY-LAW CONFORMITY
7.1 The subject lands are currently zoned Agricultural Exception (A-76), which is a
temporary use by-law which limits the use of this property to one residential dwelling
and a golf driving range facility. The temporary use expires on October 10, 2008 The
proposal to build an indoor golf driving range and club house building has resulted in
this rezoning application.
8.0 AGENCY COMMENTS
8.1 At the time of writing this report, several agencies have yet to provide comments on the
circulated materials. These agencies include Central Lake Ontario Conservation,
Clarington Community Services and Enbridge Gas Distribution.
8.2 Clarington Building Services commented that the proposed development presents
several water and sewage issues. Adequate water supply to the building for fire-fighting
purposes and a suitable sprinkler system for the air-supported structure are both
required. The proposed septic system will also be subjected to an approval process at
the Durham Region Health Department or Ministry of Environment, depending on the
capacity of the proposed system.
Clarington Building Services also noted that development charges would need to be
paid to the Municipality, Region and the two school boards prior to the issuance of any
building permit for this development.
8.3 Clarington Emergency Services commented that water supply for fire fighting purposes
is required in accordance with the Ontario Building Code. These connections must also
comply with Clarington Fire standards. Further to this, fire routes are to be a minimum
of 6 metres wide with a centreline turning radius of 12 metres.
8.4 Clarington Accessibility Committee has commented that the Applicant be advised that
six handicapped parking spaces will be required for this type of development. The
current site plan submission for conceptual purposes only showed the provision of three
handicapped parking spaces.
8.5 The Ministry of Transportation commented that the proposed development should take
place entirely outside the previously identified envelope for the 'Previously Technically
605
REPORT NO.: PSD-10S-06
PAGE 6
Preferred Route" associated with the link and extension between Highway 407 and
Highway 401. For these reasons, the Ministry of Transportation also commented that
the existing entrance. from Hancock Road be used for access to the proposed
development. . . .
8.6 Durham Region Health Department has advised that approval on this application be
withheld until appropriate information is rEiceivedregarding sewage flow rates from all
the buildings and sewage disposal design, including 100% replacement area.
9.0 STAFF COMMENTS
9.1 Staff requires clarification from the Applicant on the details of the proposed building that
is to be attached to the indoor golf driving range. The plan submitted and circulated
indicates a 20,000 square foot building but the applicant has recently advised the
building will not exceed 4,400 square feet. The attached building must be designed and
used for land uses which are accessory to the principal use. This application must meet
the definition of "major recreational use" to comply with the Greenbelt and Official Plan
policies.
. . 9.2 The proposed development will not result in the loss of prime agricultural land and it is
not currently being farmed.
9.3 . The applicant has been requested to demonstrate how the private septic system and
water supply will adequately service the site. Adequate water supply for fire fighting
purposes and appropriate sprinkler systems, must be accommodated on the property
appropriate for the size and scale of the proposed development.
9.4 As of the time of writing this report, Staff has not yet commenced the required EIS
Report, awaiting draft Terms of Reference from the Applicant. There are several
circulated agencies which have yet to respond with their comments on the proposal. As
a result, we are unable to comment fully on this development proposal at this time.
10.0 CONCLUSION
10.1 It is respectfully recommended that Council refer this application submitted by Gertrude
Tomina back to Staff for further processing.

1.0 PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 The purpose of this report is to present to Committee and Council, the results of the
. Municipal Peer Review Team's review of the "Clean-up Criteria Document for the Port
Hope Area Initiative" as it pertains to the Port Granby Waste Management Facility.
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 The Port Hope Area Initiative, which consists of the Port Granby Project and the Port
Hope Project, is intended to clean-up and provide for the safe long term management of
the historic low level radioactive waste originating from the processing of radium and
uranium at the former Eldorado plant in Port Hope. These materials were deposited at
the Port Granby Waste Management Facility in Clarington, and in various locations
throughout the Municipality of Port Hope, including the former Township of Hope. The
preferred options for each Project involves excavating the waste and storing it in a new
engineered storage mound located in each respective Municipality. The waste includes
both radioactive and non-radioactive contaminants.
2.2 The Legal Agreement between the Government of Canada, Clarington and Port Hope,
does not detail the specific criteria that would guide the clean-up of the contaminated
sites, including the existing Port Granby Waste Management Facility. Rather, the
Agreement states that "Canada shall clean up properties contaminated with Historic
Low-Level Radioactive Waste so that all such properties will be able to be used for all
current and foreseeable unrestricted uses."
2.3 At the time the Agreement was signed, it was intended that the clean-up criteria for the
Port Hope Area Initiative would be based on criteria to be developed by the Canadian
Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) that would form the basis for all regulatory
decisions in regard to radioactively contaminated sites in Canada. However, the CNSC
subsequently clarified that the Commission would not develop the clean-up criteria, but
would review and, as appropriate, approve the criteria. Accordingly, the signatories to
the Agreement agreed on a co-operative process to develop specific clean-up criteria
for the Port Hope Area Initiative. This process primarily involved the Low Level
Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO) and the two municipalities, with
significant input also being provided by Natural Resources Canada, Health Canada, the
CNSC, and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.
2.4 The public was also consulted on the development of the clean-up criteria.. An
information session on clean-up criteria and human health and safety was held at the
Newtonville Community Hall in November 2004. Additional information sessions were
also held in Port Hope. Information on the human health and safety effects of the Port
Granby Project, which is directly related to clean-up .criteria, was presented to the public
at an Open House in January 2005, and through the presentation of the draft
Environmental Assessment Study Report at an Open House in February 2005. These
Open Houses were all held in Newtonville.
2.5 Due to the highly technical nature of the clean-up criteria discussions, the Municipalities
relied heavily on the technical expertise provided by the Municipal Peer Review Team
led by Hardy Stevenson and Associates. From January 2004 to June 2006, the Peer
610
REPORT NO.: PSD-106-06
PAGE 3
Review Team reviewed many drafts of the Clean-Up Criteria Document. Their
comments, as well as the LLRWMO's responses, are itemized in the Peer Review
Comment and Disposition Form.
2.6 The Peer Review Team has prepared a report for the Municipality in which they advise
that they are satisfied with the Clean-Up Criteria Document for the Port Hope Area
Initiative as it pertains to the Port Granby Waste Management Facility. They are
prepared to sign the Comment and Disposition Form for the Clean-up Criteria
Document. By signing this document, the Peer Review Team will be indicating that it
agrees with the LLRWMO's disposition of their comments and with the proposed clean-
up criteria for the Port Hope Area Initiative.
2.7 A copy of the Peer Review Team's report forms Attachment 2 to this report. The
Comment and Disposition Form is available for review in the Planning Services
Department.
3.0 STAFF COMMENTS
3.1 The report prepared by the Peer Review Team, as well as their presentation to
Committee, will provide details regarding the process by which the clean-up criteria
were developed, what the criteria mean for the environment and the health and safety of
area residents. and how the criteria will be applied in the actual excavation of the waste.
However, it is appropriate in the staff report to highlight a number of issues that were
key to the process of developing the clean-up criteria for the Port Hope Area Initiative,
including the Port Granby Project.
3.2 Passive Recreational End Use
3.2.1 As noted earlier, the Legal Agreement requires contaminated sites to be cleaned-up so
that they may be used for all foreseeable future uses. Determining the end uses for the
Port Granby site once the waste has been removed is an important issue in the
development and application of appropriate clean-up criteria.
3.2.2 In 1999, at the time Council endorsed the original concept for the long term
management of the Port Granby wastes, Council's resolution indicated that "appropriate
portions of the Port Granby site should be designed for natural heritage and passive
recreational purposes possibly including the Waterfront Trail...". Given Council's
position and the fact that the site will remain under licence from the CNSC for an
undetermined period of time, the use of the remediated site for passive recreational
purposes was assumed in the development and application of criteria.
3.3 Extent of Clean-Up of the Port Granbv Waste ManaQement Facilitv
3.3.1 The protection of human health and safety and the natural environment were paramount
considerations in the development of the clean-up criteria. In this regard, the clean-up
of the existing Port Granby waste facility is intended to restore the site to a condition
that is safe for use as publicly-accessible open space. Criteria to achieve this use were
developed for both radioactive and non-radioactive contaminants.
611
REPORT NO.: PSD-106-06
PAGE 4
3.3.2 The criteria for radioactive contaminants in soil are based on nationally and
internationally accepted standards and were derived from a maximum total incremental
dose constraint of 0.3 mSv/year above background. This dose limit will apply to public
exposure during and after the construction phase of the Port Granby Project, and
represents 30% of the regulated dose constraint of 1mSv/year developed by the CNSC
. for licensed nuclear facilities. (A mSv (milliSievert) is a measure of equivalent or
effective dose of radiation used at low doses or dose rates). The typical annual dose
equivalent for residents of Clarington from all sources (natural and man-made such as
dental x-rays) is 2.6 mSv/year, while the Canadian average is 3.0 mSv/year. Based on
this dose criterion, concentration criteria for radionuclides in soil were developed in two
categories - sites without development constraints and sites with developments
constraints. The Port Granby site would fall into the latter category for reasons
discussed earlier.
3.3.3 The criteria for non-radioactive contaminants developed for the Port Hope Area Initiative
are for the most part based on criteria developed by the Ontario Ministry of the
Environment for two land use conditiollS (residential/parkland/institutional and industrial/
commercial/community land uses). The proposed clean-up criteria represent total
values inclusive of background levels to ensure that the criteria for non-radioactive
contaminants fall below total concentration thresholds for ecological and human health
effects.
3.3.4 A number of factors are to be considered in determining the appropriate level to which
the existing Port Granby waste facility should be cleaned up. These include the
intended end use (passive recreational with no residential uses permitted), the fact that
the site will remain under the control of the Government of Canada for an undetermined
length of time, and contamination migration at the site.
3.3.5 Given these factors, it is considered that clean-up criteria for radionuclides based on the
"site with development" assumption and for non-radioactive contaminants based on the
Ministry of Environment's criteria for industrial/commercial/community land uses would
ensure that ecological and human health would be protected while permitting the
remediated site to be used for passive recreational purposes. As such, the application
of these clean-up criteria would achieve Council's objective of creating publicly-
accessible open space while minimizing the impact on the local community.
3.4 Flushina of Residual Contamination in Groundwater
3.4.1 Most of the significantly contaminated groundwater plumes at the existing Port Granby
site will be remediated through the removal of the waste. Experience has shown that
some areas of residual groundwater contamination will remain after the waste has been
removed.
3.4.2 The contaminated groundwater in the plumes will be treated over time through a
flushing process and the operation of facilities to collect and treat the contamination.
The period of groundwater flushing .is undetermined but may extend over several
decades. These measur~s are not expected to immediately remediate gr{)undwater
quality to permit the use of the groundwater for domestic purposes. However, this is not
expected to cause any difficulties given that groundwater from the site is not expected
to be used for residential purposes.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS
4.1 The development and acceptance of the clean-up criteria marks a key milestone in the
Port Hope Area Initiative, and represents the culmination of many years of co-operative
effort by the Municipalities of Clarington and Port Hope and tre LLRWMO. In this
regard, the Municipal Peer Review Team played a critical role in ensuring that the
Municipality's interests and the health and safety of its residents are protected.
4.2 It is also important to note that both Port Hope Council and CNSC staff have accepted
the clean-up criteria.

SUBJECT: PEER REVIEW TEAM CONCLUSIONS REGARDING THE
PROPOSED CLEANUP CRITERIA FOR THE PORT HOPE AREA
INITIATIVE
Recommendation
That Council concur with the Municipal Peer Review Team's [mdings with respect to the
Port Hope Area Initiative Cleaoup Criteria Document as it pertains to the Port Graoby
Waste Maoagement Facility, aod with the Peer Review Team's intent to sign the
Comment aod Disposition Form for that document.
Purpose of Report
The purpose of this report is to provide Clarington Council with the results of the
Municipal Peer Review Team's review of the Cleaoup Criteria Document as it pertains to
the Port Graoby Waste Maoagement Facility, aod to. obtain Council's concurrence prior
to the peer review team signing the Comment I Disposition form for the Cleaoup Criteria
Document. By signing the Comment I Disposition Form, the peer review team will
indicate that it agrees with the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Maoagement Office
(LLRWMO) disposition of the peer review team's comments aod the proposed cleaoup
criteria for the Port Hope Area Initiative.
Background
Cleaoup criteria are required for the Port Graoby waste maoagement facility so that it
could be remediated aod used for passive recreational uses consistent with Council's
resolution from 1999, while minimizing the impact on the local community to the extent
possible. This resolution recommended to the federal government "that appropriate
portions of Port Graoby site be designed for natural heritage aod passive recreational
purposes possibly including the Waterfront Trail...". This objective has been the key
consideration in the development of the cleaoup criteria for the Port Graoby site.
Peer Review Team Conclusions - Cleanup Criteria
Page 1
615
Cleanup criteria are also required for the Long-Term Waste Management Facility to
ensure that it meets end use requirements.
Cleanup criteria are used:to identify waste materials, areas of contamination and waste
volumes and thus establish the level of cleanup of soils and groundwater for the Port
Granby Project. The criteria have been developed through a co-operative effort of the
LLRWMO, the Municipalities of Port Hope and Clarington, members of the public, and
various government agencies (particularly Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Natural
Resources Canada, Health Canada and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission) and are
summarized in the cleanup criteria document. The criteria apply to various contaminants
of potential concern (COPCs) for low-level radioactive waste relevant to the Port Hope
Area Initiative including the Port Granby Waste Management Facility.
The Legal Agreement (Schedule 2) anticipated that the Canadian Nuclear Safety
Commission (CNSC) would establish the cleanup criteria for the Port Hope Area
Initiative in consultation with the LLR WMO and the Municipalities. Subsequent to the
signing of the Legal Agreement, the CNSC clarified that the Commission would not
develop these criteria for cleanup; rather the Commission would review and, as
appropriate, approve the criteria.
The LLR WMO entered into discussions with the Municipalities of Port Hope and
Clarington to reach agreement on cleanup criteria. The LLRWMO conducted specific
scientific analysis to determine human health and ecological risk resulting from specific
criteria where standards currently do not exist.
The CNSC and other federal and provincial agencies have reviewed and conimented on
the criteria proposed by the LLRWMO. The Peer Review Team has also reviewed the
cleanup criteria and has had numerous discussions with the LLRWMO on the criteria and
their application. The Peer Review Team's focus was to ensure that:
. The cleanup is done 'right' for now and for the future;
. The Cleanup Principles (See Attachment I) will be achieved;
. The Port Granby site will be available for recreation and related purposes after the
cleanup is completed; and
. There will be municipal oversight during the cleanup.
The Legal Agreement does not require the consent of the Municipalities regarding the
cleanup criteria. However, consultation with the Municipalities is required and the
LLRWMO, as the Project proponent, is to address any concerns of the Municipalities
before the document is submitted for final review by the relevant authorities.
Peer Review Team Conclusions - Cleanup Criteria
Pagel
616
The Principles
In September 2004 the Municipalities and the LLRWMO (with the concurrence of
Natural Resources Canada) reached agreement on Principles to Guide the Process and to
guide the development of cleanup criteria. These Principles were distribt\ led to the public
and received support. A copy of the statement of Principles is attached (Attachment 1).
The. general principles used in guiding the development of cleanup criteria are:
. Properties contaminated with historic low-level radioactive waste shall be cleaned up
to permit full enjoyment and use of these properties. Such uses include vegetable
gardens, play areas, recreational uses and home construction.
. Cleaned up properties can be used for all current and foreseeable unrestricted nses.
. The Legal Agreement shall be adhered to through,out the development and application
of cleanup criteria for the Port Hope Area Initiative.
. Cleanup criteria shall meet or exceed the requirements of Canadian regulators (e.g.
Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, Ontario Ministry of the Environment, etc.).
. Consultation with the public, the municipalities, and federal and provincial agencies
shall be conducted during the development of cleanup criteria.
. Cleanup criteria shall consider all pathways to human health and the environment.
Under the general principles, several special circumstances are listed for consideration
and the following are of interest to Port Granby Waste Management Facility.
. Specific cleanup criteria will be developed to reflect anticipated (foreseeable) future
land uses for certain properties within the scope of the Port Hope Area Initiative.
Existing Port Granby site is cited as an example of this circumstance.
. Cleanup criteria shall reflect special groundwater circumstances. The completion of
the cleanup at some sites could require continued environmental monitoring and
treatment of groundwater for a period of time before conditions are such that the
foreseeable unrestricted use for particular site would come into effect. This
circumstance will also apply to the existing Port Granby site.
. The Port Hope and Port Granby Long-Term Waste Management Facilities shall
continue to be monitored and will remain under the care and control of Canada for
the long-term (i.e. hundreds of years). Design and development of long-term waste
term waste management facilities will focus on community-defined end-uses.
Therefore, site-specific cleanup criteria should apply to their sites in accordance with

The Port Granby site cleanup will take into consideration these special circumstances,
particularly over the long term as time will be required to complete flushing of
groundwater contaminants at the existing site.
The Cleanup Criteria
The LLRWMO developed cleanup criteria for the historic low-level radioactive waste
(LLRW) cleanup in Port Hope and Clarington and the cleanup of specified industrial
waste sites in Port Hope. Specific criteria were developed which are suitable for special
circumstances as well. The historic LLRW includes all of the wastes arising from the
processing of radium and uranium by Eldorado until 1988, which were deposited at the
Port Granby waste management facility (from 1955 to 1988) and various sites in Port
Hope (until 1955). During the initial years of operation radioactive wastes and
marginally contaminated soils were deposited at the west end of the East Gorge.
Industrial waste, including scrap equipment, rubble, drums and mixed soils from remedial
works were dumped in the West Gorge. After the I 960s the majority of the wastes were
buried in trenches on the plateau area between and to the north of the two gorges.
Based on extensive analysis of soil samples, historic LLRW is known to invariably
consist of certain key elements (uranium, arsenic, thorium-230 and radium-226) which
provide a 'waste signature' by which the presence ofLLRW contamination can be
identified. By cleaning up the four contaminants associated with Eldorado waste, other
contaminants of potential concem in the LLR W will also be captured. Verification will
include a complete sweep of COPCs in the LLRW.
Criteria for radioactive contaminants in soils are based on a project-applied dose
constraint of 0.3 mSv/aabove background. A mSV (milli-Sievert) refers to one-
thousandth of a Sievert, a unit of equivalent or effective radiation dose. This dose
constraint is considered protective of human health as it represents 30% of the I mSv/a
dose limit set by the CNSC for the protection of members of the public. The dose
constraint provides a target for deriving radionuclide concentration criteria for soil.
In addition to specific regulatory requirements, the LLRWMO is committed to cleaning
up the site to an As Low As Reasonably Achievable ("ALARA") condition, social and
environmental factors taken into account. Cleanup of soils to meet the criteria will
almost certainly result in incremental doses that are much below 0.3 mSv/a, and will
generally approach zero because the excavated soils will be replaced with clean fill.
Staff and the Peer Review Team have also reached agreement with the LLRWMO that
additional soils that are below criteria will be removed, where practical and necessary,
enhancing the cleanup.
For non-radioactive COPCs, the recommended criteria for soils affected by LLRW are
generally determined on the basis of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE)
generic soil standards for residential land use as provided in Soil, Ground Water and
Sediment Standards for Use Under Part XV.I of the Environmental Protection Act. In
locations where constraints will prevent residential development from occurring in the
Peer Review Team Conclusions - Cleanup Criteria
Page 4
618
future (e.g., the proposed long term waste management facility site in Port Granby), the
MaE generic soil standards for industrial /commerciallanduse will apply.
Based on the considerations discussed above, the cleanup criteria will ensure that:
. The remediated sites (the Long-Term Waste Management Facility site and the Port
Granby Waste Management Facility site) will be safe for recreational use and safe
for non-human biota;
. They are consistent with Council's objective that the sites could be used for passive
recreational uses;
. Volumes of material to be moved would not be unnecessarily excessive, minimizing
impact on the local community such as in terms of construction time and
transportation; and
. Council's objective of keeping the impact on the local community to a minimum
would be met.
The proposed soil criteria for radioactive and non-radioactive COPCs are based on a
detailed scientific information base developed by the Ministry of the Environment and
the LLRWMO and are considered protective of both human and ecological receptors.
Table 1 provides Proposed Criteria for certain primary Contaminants of Potential
Concern in Soil for key radioactive contaminants (radium-226 and thorium-230),
uranium and arsenic for circumstances where development constraints will apply, such as
will occur at the existing Port Granby Waste Management Facility. The cleanup criteria
document provides comprehensive tables of cleanup criteria for radioactive and non-
radioactive COPCs required for Port Granby including soil, groundwater and surface
water, radon and criteria for decontamination of contaminated objects and materials
encountered in the project.

Note: Bq signifies a standard international unit of radioactivity equal to one radioactive

The remediation of any groundwater contamination in Port Granby will be accomplished
by the removal of the contaminated soils (the source of the groundwater contamination)
and natural attenuation. Contaminated groundwater will be treated during remediation

where the contaminated soils are located below the water table. The Port Granby site will
need to be monitored however over a number of decades to confirm that flushing of
contaminants is adequately achieved and any restrictions on groundwater use can be
removed.
At the existing Port Granby site, the foreseeable use is recreational. The peer review
team acknowledges that cleanup to residential criteria or background levels is not
necessary for this site which would result in larger community impacts in terms of
construction and transportation.
The cleanup of the existing Waste Management Facility involves the excavation and
relocation of approximately 430,000 m3 of waste. After being cleaned up it will take
several decades for contamination to dissipate or flush from the groundwater at the
existing Waste Management Facility following the removal of this waste, during which
time some uses of the site will be restricted. The site will continue to be under the
control of the Government of Canada even after the cleanup has oCcurred.
Because the LLRWMO is excavating and relocating the waste at the existing Waste
Management Facility to the Long Term Waste Management Facility, it does not intend to
stabilize the shoreline at the existing site. Depending on the rate of regression of the
bluffs, there may be exposure to contaminants in soils that are left in place after the
cleanup is done., While there will continue to be limited access to the bluffs, and minimal
opportunities for exposure to these soils, the MPRT expects to see further analysis to
confirm that there is no health risk to individuals who are walking along the bluffs. As
suggested above, this analysis should occur before the remedial work is undertaken since
the outcome of such analysis could influence measures taken for the long term
monitoring of the bluffs.
Supporting Documents for Cleanup Criteria
The LLR WMO is preparing a series of supporting documents for the Cleanup Criteria
Document that provide additional details about how all of the Port Hope Area Initiative
sites including the Port Granby site will be remediated. These documents include:
. Waste Excavation Management Plans, which outline the methodology for
remediating the site, including mitigation and monitoring measures .
. Application of ALARA, which describes the decision-making process to extend
remediation beyond safe residual levels
. Environmental Management Plans for avoiding or minimizing impacts to air I
water I soil at each site and for monitoring for COPCs
. Property files, which describe the results of the physical survey, gamma radiation
survey, contamination survey, and indoor radon analysis.

. Verification Methodology, which involves a resurvey scrt;ening of properties
and a statistical review of residual concentrations on completion of remediation
. Outline of municipal and community monitoring I oversight in the cleanup
process.
Key Accomplishments from the Peer Review and Municipal Involvement
The peer review of the draft documents and discussions with the LLR WMO have
resulted in a better Understanding of the federal government approach and municipal
requirements pertaining to cleanup criteria. The review was conducted over a period of
two years and entailed a review of a number of research documents and regulatory
standards and technical sessions with the LLRWMO culminating in a Comment
Disposition Form ("CD Form"). The CD Form documents the detailed discussions arid
agreements (Attachment 2).
Next Steps
The LLRWMO is preparing various supporting documents discussed above which will
address how the cleanup criteria are to be applied.
The Peer Review Team will review these documents when they are available over the
next few months to ensure that the application ofthe criteria will be consistent with the
Principles and review any special circumstances and Municipal consideration required
with regard to the application of the criteria.
Key Conclusions of the Peer Review
The LLRWMO has finalized the cleanup criteria for the Port Hope Area Initiative,
including the existing Port Granby Waste Management Facility. These criteria are
proposed for guiding remediation work with respect to radioactive and non-radioactive
contaminants of potential concern in soil, ground water and surface water at the
contaminated sites: The Peer Review Team is satisfied that the criteria proposed are
protective of human and ecological receptors and are compatible with an end use that
permits recreational uses.
The peer review team concludes, based on its review of the Cleanup Criteria Document
and discussions with the LLRWMO that the document and the cleanup criteria proposed
therein for the Port Granby site are appropriate and consistent with the Council objectives
and the Principles. The Peer Review Team is satisfied that the extent of remediation (i.e.

special circumstances consideration) is adequate in meeting Council objectives and
Principles and minimizing community impacts from construction and transportation.
Taking into account special circumstances and provisions pertaining to the Long-Term
Waste Management Facility and the existing Port Granby Waste Management Facility
site, these sites will be cleaned up to allow current and foreseeable uses consistent with
their anticipated end use and long-term care and control.

Cleanup Process: From Principles to Practice
rhe Govemmeltt of Canada and the municipalities are committed to the long-tem. protection of the
eltl'lronmt!llt and the ',ealth and safety of the residents of Clarington and Port Hope.
Under the Port Hope Area Initiative, historic low-level radioactive waste management facilities and all
properties contamioated with low-level radioactive waste as a result of historic radium and uranium processing
operations io Port Hope will be cleaned up. The waste and contamioated soils will be safely managed io new
long-term above-ground mound facilities for
hundreds of years. Existiog low-level radioactive
waste management facilities io both Port Hope and
Clariogton will be relocated and safely managed io
new facilities for hundreds of years ioto the future.
The clean-up and loeallong-term management of
historic low-level radioactive waste now found io the
Municipalities of Clariogton and Port Hope was
addressed io a legal agreement fmalized io March
200 I, between Canada and the municipalities.
As part of the Port Hope Area Initiative, the
Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Office
(LLRWMO) has undertaken detailed environmental
studies of the proposed Port Granby and Port Hope
Long-Term Low-Level Radioactive Waste
Management Projects, on behalf of the federal
government.
Criteria for the clean-up of contamioated sites are
fundamental to the Port Hope Area Initiative. These
criteria address the question, "When is a property
clean?ll
Priociples to guide the cleanup proeess were
developed joiotly by the municipalities and the
federal government. The Priociples recognize the
ioherent differences io the Port Hope and Clariogton
projects and consider the "special circumstances"
related to the proposed new above-ground mound
facility io Clariogton and the potential future uses of
the existiog Port Granby Waste Management Facility
once remediation is complete.
The purpose of the Port Granby Long-Term
Low-Level Radioactive Waste
Management Project is to clean up and
provide appropriate, safe, local long-term
managememfor historic low-level
radioactive waste and contaminated soils in
the Municipality ofClarington.
WHAT ARE CLEANUP CRITERIA?
Criteria are requirements that direct the clean-up
of radioactive and non-radioactive contamioants of
potential concern (COPCs) found io low-level radio-
active waste and soil, io harbour sediments, io water
and groundwater. Criteria also apply to radon levels in
houses.
The COPCs present io low-level radioactive
waste io the Port Hope area are all natural elements in
soils, therefore the term "contaminant" only applies at
concentrations above criteria considered to be safe for
humans and the environment. Contaminants associ-
ated with low-level radioactive waste are mainly
radium-226, thorium-230, uranium and arsenic.
Cleanup (excavation) will meet or go beyond
these criteriato ensure the long-term safety of the
public and the environment.

Principles to Guide the Process
The following Principles set the direction for development of the clea"..up criteria. The Principles /tave been developed
Ihrough consullation wil111he municipalilies and Ihe public. The Principles shull be considered to be comprehensIve,
mutuaUJI reinforcing, and intentionally linked. No individual principle may be considered septJrately.
General Princinles
. Properties contaminated with historic low-level
radioactive waste shall be cleaned up to permit
full enjoyment and use of these properties.
Such uses include vegetable gardens, play
areas, recreational uses and home construction.
. Cleaned up properties can be used for all
current and foreseeable unrestricted uses.
Future land uses can be anticipated for most
properties within the scope of the Port Hope Area
Initiative. Examples are small-scale properties,
municipal properties, the Centre Pier, Port Hope
landfill and inner harbour.
. The Legal Agreement shall be adhered to
througbout the development and application of
clean-up criteria for the Port Hope Area
Initiative. Performance criteria, approval process
and methodologies are defined in the legal
agreement (Article 3 and Schedule 2) between the
municipalities and the federal government (March
2001).
. Clean-up criteria shall meet or exceed the
requirements of Canadian regulators (e.g.,
Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, Ontario
Ministry of Environment, etc.). Development of
clean-up criteria will follow the direction
provided by applicable international, national and
provincial standards (International Atomic Energy
Agency, International Commission on
Radiological Protection, Health Canada, Canadian
Council of Ministers of the Environment are
examples).
. Consultation with the pu blie, the
municipalities, and federal and provincial
agencies shall be conducted during the
development of clean-up criteria.
. Clean-up criteria shall consider all pathways to
human health and the environment.
Cootaminants in air, water, soil and other
environmental media will be considered when
developing clean-up criteria
Special Circumstanees
Under the general principles, special circumstances shall
be considered, for example:
=} Specific cleanup criteria will be developed to
reflect anticipated (foreseeable) future land uses
for certain properties within the scope of the Port
Hope Area Initiative, including the existing Port
Granby and Welcome Waste Management sites, the
Centre Pier, inner harbour and the Port Hope landfill
and certain roadways. These specific clean-up
criteria shall be developed in accordance with the
recommended end-use (e.g. passive/active
recreational, no residential, etc.)
=} Clean-up criteria for the inner basin of the Port
Hope harbour will be developed so that future
dredging activities will not be affected by historic
low-level radioactive waste. The harbour clean-up
should alleviate any concern among the public about
use of the harbour and during future dredging no
special care shall be required to address historic low-
level radioactive waste in the dredged material.
=} Clean-up criteria shall reflect special
groundwater circumstances. The completion of
the clean-up at some sites (for example, the existing
Port Granby facility site in Clarington and the
Highland Drive landfill and Highland Drive South
Ravine in Port Hope) could require continued
environmental monitoring and treatment of
groundwater for a period of time before conditions
are such that the foreseeable unrestricted use for a
particular site would come into effect.
=} The Port Hope and Port Granby Long-Term
Waste Mauagement Facilities shall continue to be
monitored and will remain under the care and
control of Canada for the long-term (Le.
hundreds of years). Design and development of
these new long term waste management facilities
will focus on community defmed end-uses.
=} Designated industrial waste in Port Hope will be
cleaned up in accordance with Schedule I Part B
of the legal agreement between Canada and the
municipalities.

1.2 Application A2006-0016 was filed to permit the construction of an above-ground
swimming pool within the Environmental Protection (EP) zone.
Committee had earlier approved a variance for this property to permit the expansion
and reconstruction of a legal non-conforming detached garage (original decision dated
May 11, 2006). The variance was amended to include the construction of an above
ground swimming pool in an Environmentally Protected (EP) Zone which was
discovered during investigation into the original variance request. This second part of
the variance was then tabled on May 11 for a period of three (3) months to give time for
the applicant to discuss the matter with Planning Staff. The variance was scheduled to
be reheard on September 14, 2006.
The signage and mail-out notice for the September 14, 2006 meeting, were not
distributed in conformity with the Planning Act. Staff,. therefore, requested that
Committee TABLE the application until the next meeting to be held on September 28,
2006.
1.3 Application 2006-0029 was filed to permit the expansion of an existing legal non-
conforming building by permitting a 16.8 m2 (180 tr) addition to the primary dwelling.
The applicant's home lies on the flood plain of the Foster Creek meaning the home is
completely within an Environmentally Protected (EP) Zone. The purpose of the
variance was to allow the expansion of an existing 10' x 14' room into a 16' x 20' room.
None of the commenting agencies had any objections to the expansion.
1.4 Application A2006-0030 was filed to permit the construction of a single detached
dwelling by reducing the minimum required exterior side yard setback from 8 metres to
6 metres.

Prior to the meeting, it was brought to Staffs attention that the applicant had not legally
taken possession of the property prior to submitting his application for minor variance.
The applicant was advised to bring authorization from the owner to the Committee
meeting in order to legitimize his application. Being unable to provide a copy of such
authorization the applicant requested that his application be tabled to the next available
meeting. This request was approved by Committee.
2.0 COMMENTS
2.1 Staff has reviewed the Committee's decisions and are satisfied that applications A2006-
0016, A2006-0029, and A2006-0030 are in conformity with the Official Plan policies,
consistent with the intent of the Zoning By-law and are minor in nature and desirable.
2.2 Council's concurrence with the decisions of the Committee of Adjustment for
applications A2006-0016, A2006-0029, and A2006-0030, is required in order to afford
Staff official status before the Ontario Municipal Board in the event of an appeal of any
decision of the Committee of Adjustment.

Removal of "Holding (H)" symbol
Part of Lot 28, BFC, former Township of Clarke (Attachment 1)
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 On September 19th, 2006, Staff received an application from CCCC Glen Abbey
Limited for the removal of the "Holding (H)" symbol on Parts 1 to 6 as shown on
40R-24278. Removal of the holding symbol will permit the construction of the
Club House/Amenity Centre building for the Port of Newcastle development.
3.0 STAFF COMMENTS
3.1 Site Plan Approval was granted on April 7, 2006, and the applicant has entered
into a development. agreement with the Municipality. Provisions within the
agreement require the developer to ensure that sufficient financial guarantees
are provided to the Municipality for the completion of all works on the site.
3.2 The subject property is presently zoned "Holding-General Commercial Exception
((H) C1-23)". Policies within the Municipality's Official Plan permit the use of
holding symbols to ensure that prior to development the following matters are
addressed and approved to the satisfaction of the Municipality:
. Services and municipal works;
. Measures to protect natural area;
. Measures to mitigate the impact of development;
. Submission of technical studies;
. Execution of appropriate agreements; and/or
. Any other requirements as may be deemed necessary by Council
including the implementation of the policies of this plan.
Similarly, within the Region's Official Plan, policies are in place noting that prior
to a local Municipality's passage of a by-law to remove a holding symbol, Council
is to ensure that:
. The development is consistent with the orderly and phased development
of the Municipality;
. The Owner has satisfied all of the requirements of the Municipality and
entered into any necessary agreements in that regard, and;
632
REPORT NO.: PSD-10B-06
PAGE 3
. The Owner has satisfied all the requirements of the Regional Municipality
of Durham with respect to the provisions of sewer and water services,
regional roads and entered into any necessary agreements.
The approval of a by-law to remove the holding symbol is appropriate at this
time, as the provisions within the Municipality's and Region's Official Plan have
been satisfied.
3.3 It is noted that pursuant to Section 36 of the Planning Act, a by-law amendment
to remove the "Holding (H)" symbol is not subject to the normal appeal period
afforded to a standard rezoning application and accordingly shall be deemed final
and binding upon Council's approval.
3.4 The Finance Department has advised that taxes on the site are current.
4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 In consideration of the comments noted above, approval of the removal of the
"Holding (H)" symbol, as shown on the attached by-law and schedule
(Attachment 2), is recommended.

2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 On May 2, 2006, the Planning Services Department received from Foster Creek
Developments, 2083302 Ontario Limited, and Robert J. Stephenson, the subject
applications to amend the Draft Approved Plan and the Zoning By-law.
2.2 The subject applications deal with two draft approved plans of subdivision. The
larger draft plan of subdivision - 18T-89059 was draft approved for 501 units on
March 24, 2004. It surrounds the smaller draft plan of subdivision S-C-2000-001
which was draft approved for 39 units on March 26, 2004. The proposed
Amended Draft Approved Plan for 18T~89059 incorporates the area of Draft
Approved Plan S-C-2000-001.
2.3 The proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision was submitted May 2, 2006, and circulated
to agencies. It initially proposed a total of 702 units. Following discussions with
staff, the proposal was modified. At the pubic meeting September 5 GPA meeting,
639
REPORT NO.: PSD-109-06
PAGE 4
the revised proposal under consideration proposed a total of 676 units. Other
minor adjustments to the plan included road realignments, elimination of the
walkway east of the park and the increase in the frontage of the park from 10
metres to 16 metres on Street "K".
Following the public meeting the proposed draft plan was further revised to
address some of the concerns raised at the meeting. All on-street townhouse
units were eliminated and replaced with 10 metre and 12 metre minimum frontage
single detached dwelling lots. The application now proposes a total of 665 units.
3.0 LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES
3.1 The subject lands are mostly agricultural with some of the land being vacant. One
dwelling is located on the subject lands.
3.2 The surrounding land uses are as follows:
North:
St. Lawrence & Hudson Railway and Highway 35/115 and beyond,
rural, mostly agricultural lands.
South:
A nursing home and existing single detached dwellings.
East:
Foster Creek and existing single detached dwellings on North Street
and Remi Court.
West:
Two dwellings arid agricultural lands. Rudell Road is only partially
opened along the west property limit.
4.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT
4.1 The policies of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) consider Newcastle Village a
settlement area. Settlement areas shall be the focus of growth. Land use patterns
within settlement areas shall be based on densities and a mix of land uses which
efficiently use land and resources, infrastructure and public service facilities. The
housing policies of the PPS require the Municipality to maintain, at all times, the
ability to accommodate residential growth for a minimum 10 years through lands
designated for residential use and/or redevelopmentlintensification opportunities;
as well as land with servicing capacity sufficient to provide at least a 3 year supply
through draft approved/registered subdivision plans and/or lands that can facilitate
redevelopment/intensification. The PPS states that planning authorities shall
support energy efficiency and improved air quality.
The proposed revised plan of subdivision is consistent with the PPS.

5.0 OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY
5.1 Durham Reaional Official Plan
The lands are designated as Living Area and Major Open Space. The Living Area
designation permits the development of communities with defined boundaries,
incorporating the widest possible variety of housing sizes, types and tenure. The
Major Open Space designation incorporates the Foster Creek valley lands. These
lands are not proposed for development. The applications conform.
5.2 Clarinaton Official Plan
The lands are designated Urban Residential Area and Environmental Protection
Area in the Newcastle Village Urban Area. The lands are within the Foster
Neighbourhood. The north-east portion has an approved Neighbourhood Design
Plan in accordance with Council-adopted policies. Medium density residential
symbols are at the northeast corner of the King Avenue West and Rudell Road
intersection and northwest of where Foster Creek intersects with King Avenue
West. The lands also contain a public elementary school and a neighbourhood
park designation.
An east - west collector road is designated from Regional Road 17 to west of
Rudell Road. This will form a continuation of the existing Grady Drive across the
Foster Creek providing access to the neighbourhood other than from King Ave.
North - south collector roads are designated from King Avenue West at both
Rudell Road and the extension of Massey Drive.
The Foster Creek valley is designated Environmental Protection and is identified
as a significant valleyland. An Environmental Impact Study was undertaken
previously and this development does not negatively impact the environment.
The applications conform.
6.0 FOSTER NORTH NEIGHBOURHOOD CONCEPT PLAN
6.1 Council considered the Foster North Neighbourhood Design Plan prior to draft
approval of the original plans of subdivision.
The plan was approved for the area bounded by Rudell Road to the west, Highway
35/115 and the railway to the north, the Foster Creek Valley to the east and King
Avenue to the south. The current amendment to draft approval and rezoning
requires amendments to the Plan in terms of number of units, lot location and
street pattern. The plan contained in Attachment 2 is the revised neighbourhood
design plan which will be approved by the Director of Planning Services and the
Director of Engineering Services.

7.0 ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE
7.1 Within Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, the lands are zoned to implement the
two previously approved draft plans of subdivision. Revisions, as envisioned in the
proposed amended draft plan of subdivision plan, necessitate some revisions to
the zoning for the subject lands, hence, the rezoning application.
8.0 PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS
8.1 Public Meetina and Resident Issues
8.1.1 A Public Meeting for the Rezoning and proposed Amendment to Draft Approved
Plan of Subdivision was held on September 5, 2006. Nine (9) objectors spoke at
the meeting.
The first objector filed CI petition signed by area residents in opposition to the
Grady Drive bridge and related extension of Grady Drive.
Other issues highlighted included increased traffic volumes and noise, potential
accidents at the intersection and impact of the bridge construction. Other issues
raised during the public meeting included:
. Increased traffic including along Grady Drive extension
. traffic "shortcutting"
. road improvements anticipated to be required at Grady Drive as it
intersects with Manvers Road and North Street
. environmental impacts on Foster Creek
. smaller lot sizes in the subdivision
. loss of "Village appeal"
. loss of farmland
. "bridge" becoming a "hang-out" and being subjected to graffiti
. maintenance of municipal infrastructure
. "lack of sidewalks" on North Street
. stormwater management pond monitoring and maintenance
8.1.2 One resident stated she had not received notification. That resident lives 220
metres from the closest point in the subject lands, outside of the 120 metre
notification area. However, for this reason, signs were posted on the property to
provide additional notification.
8.1.3 One resident inquired, over the phone, whether there would be fencing at the east
end of the property by the Foster Creek valley lands. They were advised of the
Municipality's requirement for a 1.2 metre (4 foot) chain link fence along the rear
yards of new residential properties.
642
REPORT NO.: PSD-109-06
PAGE 7
8.1.4 One letter of objection was received from a resident stating concern with Grady
Drive, the bridge and the extension, the traffic flows they would create, and the
need they would create for traffic signals at the North StreeUK,ng Avenue West
and the Grady Drive IManvers Road intersections.
8.2 Public Information Centre
8.2.1 A public information centre was held on Tuesday September 19, 2006 at 7:00 p.m.
in the Newcastle Community Hall. Approximately 50 people attended the meeting.
Staff provided an overview of the application as revised, as well as an overview of
the Clarington Official land use designation and transportation requirements for the
subject lands.
8.2.2 At the Public Information Centre, a number of issues were raised. Paramount was
the question of traffic impacts, particularly on the existing Grady Drive, North Street
and Manvers Road. The King Avenue WesUNorth Street intersection was widely
considered to be already dangerous, particularly with the intersection sight lines
and the nearby GO bus stop. Some residents asserted, parking violations are
common in the area, and if By-Law Enforcement cannot keep up with existing
problems now what will they do when this subdivision is built?
There was much criticism of the proposed amendment's additional 125 units and
the related smaller lot areas and frontages. There were concerns that there would
not be real architectural controls in place and that smaller lots were not part of the
character and identity of Newcastle Village. The reduction in 15 metre lots from
the 2004 draft approved plans was strongly opposed.
Claims were made that Newcastle Village lacked the infrastructure to support such
a development given that it has a volunteer fire department and existing roads tha~
will have to be upgraded including the addition of sidewalks on streets such as
North.
The proposal was also considered by some to be detrimental to existing property
values.
In short, it appeared the large majority of attendees would accept only the draft
approved plan.
9.0 AGENCY COMMENTS
9.1 The applications were circulated to various agencies and other departments by
Planning Services.
643
REPORT NO.: PSD-109-06
PAGE 8
9.2 Veridian Connections noted electricity is available on King Avenue West and
extensions to the subject lands are to be underground. Existing Veridian
infrastructure on Rudell and Given Roads may have to be relocated/replaced at
the Applicant's cost, and the Applicant must obtain the Corporation's specific
approval for the electric service arrangements which includes the signing of a
construction agreement. Other comments were the granting of a standard
occupation easement, registered on title, for switchgear; and warning to provide for
construction worker safety and the security of the electrical system. Veridian
Connections has no objection to the proposed development but electrical drawings
are required six months before the electrical servicing date, and if the development
is constructed in phases, then an overall servicing plan must be prepared to
identify future servicing.
9.3 Emergency & Fire Services noted turning access is to be provided for dead-end
streets greater than 90 metres.
9.4 The comments of Clarington Engineering Services are summarized as follows:
9.4.1 Phasina Plan
A revised phasing plan will be required from the Owner.. The revised phasing
plan must address the existing dwellings on Given Road, and demonstrate how
the various road accesses to each property will be accommodated at each phase
of development.
9.4.2 Street A (Massev Drive Extension)
The intersection of King Avenue West and Street 'A' (Massey Drive Extension)
must be reconstructed including the installation of traffic signals prior to the
issuance of any building permits within that phase of the proposed development
that requires access via the Massey Drive extension.
9.4.3 Gradv Drive Extension
The future phase, which requires the construction of the Grady Drive Bridge,
cannot proceed until the Municipality has approved the expenditure of funds for
the construction of the crossing.
9.4.4 Rudell Road
A portion of Rudell Road is an unopened road allowance. The portion located
south of Grady Drive extension is designated as a collector street in the Official
Plan. The applicant will be responsible for 50% of the cost of Rudell Road
infrastructure to a municipal local standard for the length which provides frontage
to the lots on Rudell Road. The phase of the development which requires
access from Rudell cannot proceed until the Municipality has approved the
644
REPORT NO.: PSD-109-06 PAGE 9
expenditure of funds for the construction of Rudell Road. Should the
development proceed prior to the approval of funds by the Municipality the
developer will be responsible for 100% of the cost of the construction of Rudell
Road. The Owner must provide a functional plan that accommodates future
traffic signals at the above intersection. .
The west side of Rudell Road must be fully serviced with water, sanitary sewer
and storm sewer for any future lots which may front onto this street, and any
other streets that may intersect with this street must be "stubbed" for water,
sanitary sewer and storm sewer to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering
Services.
9.4.5 Given Road
The ultimate development scenario may see portions of Given Road legally
closed in the future and conveyed into private ownership. It will be necessary to
resolve numerous issues pertaining to Given Road prior to final approval for
development. Any proposed road closures must be'approved by Council. The
applicant will be responsible for 100% of all costs, financial and otherwise,
needed to meet this requirement.
The subject development will necessitate the physical closure of Given Road at
Street 'A' (Massey Drive Extension) to create a cul-de-sac. Any portions of
Given Road that are designated to remain open as a travelled road may require
upgrades or improvements.
9.4.6 Westerlv Townhouse Block 581
No development of Block 581 or other adjacent land will be permitted until such
time as the applicant has acquired all of the lands necessary for the entire
medium density development. The townhouse blocks must be developed with
private intemal road accesses.
9.4.7 Stormwater ManaQement
The Owner must submit a stormwater management implementation plan which
provides for the ultimate development of the development's west end.
The Owner agrees that stormwater drainage works and facilities necessary for
this development must be constructed in accordance with the Foster Creek
Subwatershed Planning Study, dated March 2001, The Owner will be
responsible for 100% of the cost stormwater management facilities and a
monitoring and maintenance program for same facilities.
9.5 The Public School Board requests the school site remain as a 6 acre lot and that it
is understood the adjacent lot is for a 5 acre park.
645
REPORT NO.: PSD-109-06
PAGE 10
9.6 The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority noted they had conditions of draft
approval. They included: that prior to final approval and to any site grading taking
place, the Owner must prepare a detailed Storm water Management Report in
accordance with the Foster Creek Subwatershed Planning Study and the 2003
MOE Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual, to the satisfaction of
the Authority; the Owner must detail in a report the means whereby erosion and
siltation will be minimized and contained on site both during and after the
construction period, to the satisfaction of the Authority; the Owner must prepare
an Environmental Assessment to assess potential hydrological and biological
impacts of the west pond draining to a tributary of Wilmot Creek and develop
mitigative measures, monitoring requirements and potentially, compensatory
works, to the satisfaction of the Authority; the Owner shall agree in the subdivision
agreement to implement the recommendations and measures contained within the
above reports and study; the Owner shall agree in the subdivision agreement to
maintain all erosion and siltation control devices in good repair during construction,
in a manner satisfactory to the Authority; and the Owner shall obtain all necessary
Authority permits.
9.7 The Separate School Board noted they operate St. Francis of Assisi Elementary
School on Rudell Road South and that many of the subdivision's future residents
will utilize the school and therefore, the Board requires accessible sidewalks with
curb cuts be constructed on at least one side of each new street.
9.8 Durham Region comments note requirements for archaeological resources
preservation, a revised acoustic report, and site contamination clearance including
the requirement for a Record of Site Condition (RSC).
The subject lands can be serviced by connection to the existing watermains on
King Avenue West, Massey Drive and Rudell Road. A 400mm watermain will be
required through the subject lands from the existing 400mm watermain on King
Avenue West at the east limit of the Plan to the existing 200mm watermain at the
Rudell Road/King Avenue West intersection. A minimum 6m wide easement will
be required through proposed Block 582 for the required 400mm watermain.
Remaining watermains within the development are to be sized to meet maximum
day flows and fire protection. A minimum 300mm watermain will be required to
service institutional and commercial land uses.
The Foster Creek trunk sewer system is under construction on Edward, Church,
Baldwin and North Streets and when completed reserve capacity will be available
for the subject lands. The development must connect to the existing 300mm
sanitary sewer on King Avenue West, to the west of Foster Creek. A small area in
the southwest quadrant is tributary to the Rudell Road sanitary sewer and this area
must be minimized with reasonable sewer depths draining to the Foster Creek
trunk sewer system. The subject lands may be dependent upon a further extension
of the Foster Creek trunk sanitary sewer southwesterly from Highway 401 to the
646
REPORT NO.: PSD-109-06 PAGE 11
existing Wilmot Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. The project is tentatively
scheduled for construction from 2011 to 2015 subject to Council approval of the
Capital Budget in preceding years. A minimum 9.0 m wide .easement will be
required, depending on sewer depth, through Block 582 to service the subject
lands with sanitary sewer. The allocation of reserve plant capacity for the
development may be required in phases given the development's magnitude and
will be allocated through a Durham subdivision servicing agreement.
9.9 The Ministry of Transportation - Ontario (MTO) has confirmed their 2002
comments still apply. The Ministry had two conditions of draft approval: that prior
to final approval, the Owner shall submit to the Ministry for approval, a copy of an
illumination plan and calculations; and that a 0.3 metre reserve extending across
the Highway 35/115 frontage be conveyed by deed to the Ministry.
9.10 Durham Region Transit (DRT) remarked that it does not currently service the area;
although future service would likely be on King Avenue West. There will be
consideration for the introduction of fixed route service within the development on
designated collectors, if necessary to achieve the 400m coverage of DRT service
standards; the development of lands abutting King Avenue West should
accommodate transit services including bus bays at major intersections; and the
public secondary school site plan should have road allowance bus bays for "school
specials..
9.11 St. Lawrence & Hudson (Canadian Pacific) Rail did not comment.
10.0 STAFF COMMENTS
10.1 The current application has been revised several times since its submission in late
April. The most recent revision deleted the street townhouses and replaced them
with 10 metre and 12 metre single detached lots. The table below shows revisions
in terms of the unit type and numbers.

10.2 A primary concem of residents has been the change in the type of single
detached dwellings within the draft plan of subdivision. The number of units
proposed for this. development is within the housing targets for this
Neighbourhood as contained in the Clarington Official Plan. Furthermore, the
density is similar to Dunbury development in Newcastle Village, south of King
Avenue and east of Mill Street. The residential density for the subject lands is
15.11 units per gross hectare whereas the density of the Dunbury Subdivision at
14.95 units per gross hectare.
10.3 Since the original draft approval of the two plans within the Foster
Neighbourhood, the Municipality has acquired land for a Community Park, south
of King Ave and west of Rudell Road, also within the Foster neighbourhood. The
Municipality acquired more land than was originally planned for the Community
Park. Therefore, although the population target for the neighbourhood has not
changed, the amount of vacant designated residential land is less than
previously expected. This has allowed an increase in the overall density on the
vacant residential land in the neighbourhood from that previously approved.
10.4 The revised proposal has a greater variety of lot sizes. Healthy, inclusive
communities have a broad range of housing types and tenure opportunity. The
increased number of 10 m frontage lots provides greater opportunity for first time
home buyers than was originally possible with a plan based on a higher
concentration of 15 m frontage lots. The revised proposal also provides for a
better use of existing and planned infrastructure consistent with the Provincial
Policy Statement and closer to conforming with the Places to Grow Growth Plan.
Reducing sprawl and minimizing the loss of agricultural lands requires, as a
minimum, building at higher densities.
10.5 Many concerns have been raised about the planned Grady Drive crossing of the
Foster Creek. This crossing was contained in the Town of Newcastle Official Plan
dating back to the early 1980's. The crossing is shown in the current Clarington
Official Plan and the Foster North Neighbourhood Design Plan. A road allowance
has been reserved in the existing plan of subdivision which comprises the existing
segment of Grady Drive and Remi Court. The crossing was considered and
supported through the Foster Creek Subwatershed Study and Environmental
Impact Study. From a transportation perspective the crossing is required to link
the Foster North Neighbourhood with a north-south collector road and provides
alternatives to King Avenue West for future traffic movements. Multiple access
points to the lands west of Foster Creek north of King Ave allows traffic to disperse
rather than focus on one road. It is also important for students and school buses
to access the future school.
10.6 The Owner will be required to pay for a traffic study that will assist in determining
appropriate traffic calming measures as well as upgrades and improvements to the
existing road network that the development will connect with. The intersection of
Manvers Roadl North Street/Grady Drive will be reviewed in this light. In addition
traffic signals will be installed where warranted as traffIC from the development
648
REPORT NO.: PSD-109-06 PAGE 13
increases in the area. The ccnditions of draft approval require the developer to
seek input from area residents on the results of the traffic study and proposed
traffic calming measures at a public information centre. Staff WJJuld participate in
this process.
10.7 Residents have expressed concern that approving the proposed development with
a reduced number of 15 m frontage lots, from that which was originally draft
approved, will take away from the 'Village" character. The village character was
not specifically identified beyond lots with larger frontages. However, the
residential character of the Newcastle Village which is typically considered most
attractive is ccntained in the older part of Newcastle Village, an area defined by
grid streets with interesting streetscapes and large trees; houses with varied
architectural style; and civic or institutional focal points. Lots that provide a
minimum 15 m frontage, but do not have interesting streetscape, large trees and
varied architecture and alth9u9h part of the village do not specifically add to the
village character.
10.8 Conditions of draft approval require the Owner to submit for approval by the
Municipality, in addition to the typical landscape plan, a plan detailing the
subdivision's visual themes for the development. In addition, rather than the
Municipality's generic architectural design guidelines, the Owner will be
responsible for the cost of Architectural Design Guidelines specific to this
development which ensure the development is consistent with character of
Newcastle Village. These documents will assist in developing the public and
private realms of this development to the highest standards and incorporate
elements that build on the village character.
10.9 A new condition has been added requiring the developer to prepare an energy
management plan addressing the proposed energy conservation features in the
development.
10.10 Clarington Finance advises that for the subject lands all taxes have been paid.
11.0 CONCLUSIONS

1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington entered into a Subdivision
Agreement, registered October 11, 2002, with Ashton Development Corporation
to develop lands by plan of subdivision, located in Courtice and described as LD
127/2002 to LD 136/2002 (Attachment 1). The agreement required the
developer to construct all valley restoration works, valley planting, fencing, and
street trees, hereinafter referred to as the Works'.
1.3 The Initial Works were issued a 'Certificate of Completion' and subsequent
'Certificate 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 October 1, 2005.
This initiated a one (1) year maintenance period, which expired on October 1,
2006. The Works have recently been re-inspected and are to the satisfaction of
the Director of Engineering Services.
1.5 There are no roads associated with these land divisions and therefore, no by-
laws to pass. However, the Subdivision Agreement requires Council approval
prior to the issuance of a 'Certificate of Acceptance'. Therefore, it is now
appropriate to issue a 'Certificate of Acceptance' for the Final Works.

1.0 BACKGROUND
The Courtice Lions Club will be applying for an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant to make
improvements to the Courtice Millennium trail project. The original Courtice Millennium
trail project was constructed in 2000 and included wood chip walkways, interpretive signs,
benches and boardwalk. The project is located primarily on municipal land. The trails link
the Courtice High School, the Courtice Recreation Complex and North Courtice Public
School to surrounding residential areas.
2.0 ONTARIO TRILLIUM GRANT APPLICATION
The grant application is focused on the following improvements;
-improve the accessibility of trails by converting all trails to a limestone surface
-create a bridge over the Black Creek to make a direct connection to Highway 2
-construct additional boardwalk and move the trail away from wet areas
-install additional interpretive signage and benches
As part of the Trillium Grant application the Lions are forming a collaborative agreement
with other organizations that have an interest in the project. Most of the work will occur
on Municipal property and the largest single element of the project is the construction of
a pedestrian bridge over the Black Creek. Since it will be constructed on municipal
property it must be tendered through the municipality's Purchasing and Supply Services
Division.
The municipality will also provide assistance with the overall project direction, design,
and ordering of materials.

The collaborative agreement prepared by the Courtice Lions Club is attachment NO.1 to
this report. It outlines the roles and responsibilities of the collaborative partners as well
as the process for making decisions. The Municipality will be responsible for all aspects
of bridge planning and construction using funds from the Trillium Grant. A small entry
feature at the Highway 2 trail access point will also be part of the project and would also
be eligible for Trillium funding.

Project Background
Millennium Trail incorporates approximately 4.8 acres of early successional
meadow, a mature woodlot, a valley and floodplain associated with the Black
Creek and 1.5 to 2 kilometers of trails.
It is located in the Municipality of Clarington, between Nash Road and Highway
#2 to the north and south and Courtice and Trulls Roads to the. east and west.
Refer to location Map, Figure 1 in the proposal. Within this block are the
Courtice High School, Courtice North Public School, the Courtice Community
Complex which includes a library, pool, fitness centre and dance academy,
Parkwood Village and Nantucket Condominiums of an estimated 300 residential
units. There are more than 1500 students attending the schools. A skateboard
park may be added to the Courtice Community Complex in 2007.
There have been significant impacts to the trails and the natural heritage features
of this area from vandalism and misuse by some members ofthe community.
This has reduced confidence of the local community in using this important
resource for walking, wildlife viewing and passive recreational purposes.
Improved amenities, accessibility, environmental enhancement and education,
community stewardship and safety issues will be addressed through the Courtice
Lions Millennium Trail Project.

Purpose
The Collaborative was formed to assist the Lions with the implementation of The
Courtice Lions Millennium Trail Project to enhance the existing trails for;
- improved accessibility by an additional entrance and pedestrian bridge
over Black Creek linking an existing parkette on Highway #2 to the trail
system,
- improved access to public transit on Hwy 2
- enhance the health of Black Creek and its surrounding landscape through
an environmental community stewardship program,
- provide opportunities for healthy lifestyle choices that reduce the use of
cars to access community facilities.
- incorporate environmental interpretive signage and trail amenities like
benches and garbage receptacles.
- Improve surface of trails to make wheel chair accessible.
A new bridge, well defined entrances and improved accessibility of the trail to
wheelchairs, strollers and the general public will encourage community residents
to use this area to access existing facilities as well as provide passive
recreational opportunities.
The interpretive signs will present a variety of environmental messages,
incorporating the curriculum requirements of adjacent schools and involving the
students in their creation and installation. .
Students, families and youth groups will also be involved in trail, creek and
restoration activities in the area, including cleanups, plantings, habitat creation,
trail construction and the incorporation of trail amenities. By engaging the
community in hands-on activities, we will develop a stronger stewardship ethic
and ownership of this area to reduce vandalism activities.
Outcomes of this project will result in a dramatic increase in the public enjoyment
of the environmental and recreational features of the trail and the surrounding
area.
Decision Making Process
The total project could encompass multiple years. This first Trillium Application
will be for a single year 2007 and the collaborative agreement will be revisited
after the first grant is completed and all reporting requirements have been met by
the Courtice Lions Club.
Eight organizations make up the committee, the quorum number is five. In order
to assure that a quorum is always at a meeting the regular attendees will arrange
for a substitute from their organization if they are unable to attend. If this is not
possible they will call the Courtice Lions Club.
721
If any decision cannot be made with a 'consensus process: it will be necessary to
reach a decision by a majority vote.
In order to reduce meetings the Courtice Lions Club may poll the members or the
Collaborative Committee, by internet, on any item that requires authorization of
the Collaborative Committee. If a unanimous vote cannot be recorded a meeting
will be called.
The Courtice Lions Club will only apply for grants if so directed by the majority of
the Collaborative Committee.

REPORT NO. OPD-011-06
PAGE 2
1.0 BACKGROUND:
On June 28, 2001, the Supreme Court of Canada released its decision
with regard to the banning of pesticides in Hudson, Quebec. In its
decision, the court upheld a municipal by-law enacted by the Town of
Hudson, Quebec to restrict the cosmetic use of pesticides in that
community. The decision is important because it confirms the authority of
municipal governments to regulate matters that involve the general
welfare of the residents.
The Town of Hudson enacted By-law 270, a by-law to restrict the use of
pesticides within the town limits in 1991. The Supreme Court also found
that the by-law did not conflict with federal or provincial legislation.
The issue of pesticides is complex with diversity in public opinion and
programs being used. There is no simple answer. Many municipalities
have adopted programs that have reduced the use of pesticides on public
land. The Integrated Plant Health Program targets not the pests, but the
health of the plants and the soil using preventative techniques aimed at
ensuring healthy, rigorous plants that are less susceptible to pest
infestation utilizing pesticides as a last resort.
A pesticide is defined as a chemical or other substance used to control
plants and animal pests.
Cosmetic use of pesticides is the application of pesticides for aesthetic or
appearance reasons only.
Pesticides include weed killers, slug pellets, fungicide sprays and animal
repellant insecticides. It should be noted combined fertilizers such as
weed and feed would be considered a pesticide.
Pesticides are controlled and regulated by Health Canada and the Ontario
Ministry of Environment. These bodies, using risk-based analysis,
802
I:GPA Reports 2006\OPD-011.Q6\Pesticide Reduction in Clarington
REPORT NO. OPO-011-Q6
PAGE 3
determine if products can be used in Canada and subsequently the
Province of Ontario. Through the Ontario Ministry of Environment, they
regulate by establishing a number of pesticide categories specifying
application and vendor requirement.
2.0 PEST MANAGEMENT REGULATORY AGENCY
The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) regulates the import
into, sale, and safe use of pesticides in Canada at the Federal level.
The Pest Management Information Service is a Federal Government
initiative to provide information on pesticide regulation and registered
pesticides. The service has been available to Canadians since 1984 and
operates under the PMRA.
A team of Information Officers is available to respond to inquiries about
the federal pesticide registration process in Canada, federal regulations,
Canada's initiatives in the area of pesticides and pesticide labeling and
safety precautions.
On September 27,2000, PMRA announced the priority evaluation of the
eight most commonly available lawn pesticides. This re-evaluation uses
modem scientific standards to determine their continued acceptability for
registration and whether any changes need to be made to the conditions
of registration of these chemicals.
The re-evaluations are completed for four of the lawn pesticides:
Insecticides chlorpyrifos, diazinon, malathion and racemic mecoprop are
being phased out. The re-evaluation reviews for 2-40 was released on
February 17, 2005, and the two remaining herbicides dicamba, MCPA are
targeted for 2006.
When evaluating a pesticide, the PRMA has access to the available
scientific information on that product including laboratory, epidemiology
I:GPA Reports 2006l0P0-011-oo\Peslicide Reductioo in Clartngton
803
REPORT NO. OPD-011-06
PAGE 4
toxicology studies, scientific reports and more. No other group or
organization currently has access to all of that infonnation. This allows
PMRA to conduct thorough scientific assessments to determine if a
product is safe for use or not when used according to label directions.
The PRMA also detennines allowable uses, doses and other label
instruction for each pesticide product.
It also should be noted that PMRA conducts specific risk assessment for
sensitive sub-populations including children and takes their unique
physiological characteristics and behaviour into account.
A new piece of federal legislation Bill C-53, The Pest Control Product Act,
came into force in July, 2006. Under the new Act, the Federal Minister of
Health is now obligated to initiate a special review of pesticides that
contain active ingredients which have been banned by other member
nations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
due to health or environmental concems. Once the Minister initiates a
review, the onus is on pesticide manufacturers to provide evidence that
their products are not harmful. It is important that Council request the
Minister to expedite and expand programs dealing with the reduction of
cosmetic use of pesticides in residential and commercial areas.
3.0 REGION OF DURHAM HEALTH DEPARTMENT
The Region of Durham Health Department addressed pesticide regulation
in their correspondence to the Health and Social Services Committee
March 29, 2001.
The Region felt, at that time, and concurs with those today, that a
comprehensive legal framework already exists to regulate the
manufacture, sale and use of pesticides. In general, environmentally
concemed municipalities continue to take voluntary action to curb or stop
the use of pesticides to control weeds in part by adopting an Integrated
Pest Management approach.
804

REPORT NO. OPD-011-06
PAGE 5
It should be noted that none of the area Durham municipalities are
considering a municipal pesticide ban. Scugog recently approved an
integrated pest management policy which has been in effec1 in 2006.
4.0 LINK BETWEEN PESTICIDES USED FOR ORNAMENTAL PURPOSES
AND CANCER
Studies in peer review journals indicate that there may be a link between
exposure to some components of pesticides and an increased risk of
some types of cancer. Studies have also linked occupational exposure to
certain pesticides with prostate cancer, kidney cancer, brain cancer and
lung cancer. However, scientific research has not established a firm link
between environmental exposures to pesticides in individuals.
According to Health Canada, it should be noted that only pesticides that
are proven not to pose unacceptable risk of cancer in humans are
registered. Health Canada, in partnership with the Public Health Agency
of Canada, continues to monitor, identifying the trends and the risk factors,
developing programs to reduce cancer risks, and undertaking research to
evaluate risks from the environment and behaviours.
The Ontario College of Family Physicians is strongly recommending that
people reduce their exposure to pesticides wherever possible after
releasing a comprehensive review of research on the effects of pesticides
on human health. According to one of the authors, many of the health
problems are linked with pesticide use are serious and difficult to treat,
and they are advocating reducing exposure to pesticides and prevention
of harm as the best approach. The College's overall message to patients
is to avoid exposure to all pesticides whenever and wherever possible.
5.0 IMPLICATIONS OF A PESTICIDE BAN
As Council is aware, the implications of a pesticide ban are challenging.
Many people take great pride in maintaining a green lawn and residents
could be impacted by a by-law restricting their ability to deal with
I:GPA Reports 2006\OPD.Q11-ll6\Pesticide Reduction in Clarington
805
REPORT NO. OPD-011-06 PAGE 6
maintenance ontheir own property. Pesticides are legal products and a
ban may drive usage underground.
If a by-law is brought into place, the By-Law Enforcement Division would
require additional training as well as staff to enforce such a by-law.
As municipalities are struggling to limit the use of pesticides for beautifying
home lawns and gardens, the question of voluntary measures such as
education and marketing is being considered over an outright ban.
It is important to note that according to a "Best Practices Review" by the
Canadian Centre for Pollution Prevention, education and outreach
programs alone, while more popular, are far less effective in reducing
cosmetic pesticide use. By-laws supported with public education result in
a greater reduction in residential pesticide use than education programs
alone.
The Clarington Agricultural Advisory Committee has expressed a concern
about a possible municipal pesticide ban. They understand that under
most municipal by-laws dealing with pesticides, that the furtherance of a
normal farm practice carried on as part of an agricultural operation would
be exempt. They however are concemed about buffers between farm
and urban areas, as well as the fact that the Canadian regulatory system
is the most rigorous in the world. Farmers are constantly innovating to
minimize pesticide use and crop protection products are usually
professionally applied. Correspondence from Ted Watson (Attachment
No.1) is attached for information, including articles on good healthy plant
life.
The impact of non-pesticide use in the Municipality has been mainly on
non-turf areas, but will become a concern once a full turf restoration
program comes into effect. At present, staff clear weeds in BIA areas and
parking lots two and three times a year. If herbicides were used, this

could be reduced by over one half. The use of a sealer in the interlock
section might reduce the weed growth by twenty per cent, but the main
concentration of weeds is still in the expansion joints betweE'n sidewalk
slabs and between curbs and concrete\asphalt. At the present time, sport
field conditions are adequate. Our restoration program is underway which
includes regular aeration, topdressing and overseeding the fields and this
will have a positive effect in crowding out many weed species, such as
dandelions, plantain, and chickweed etc. The problem this will produce is
providing a fertile bed for the most persistent weeks such as field
bindweed and clover black medic, which grow in the high traffic areas like
goal mouths and centre fields.
The use of alternatives has been tried numerous times. Aquacide\hot
water is safe for the soil environment; however, it is extremely slow
because each individual weed has to be burned. Beet juice and com
gluten is a fairly decent fertilizer. but puts a formidable barrier for grass
seed making the process of overseeding a waste of time and money.
6.0 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
The Operations Department has information on the Clarington Website for
professionals and landowners. This includes the following:
. Best Practices for Lawn and Garden Care
. Lawn Alternatives
. Frequently Asked Questions
. Organic Lawn Care
The Municipality must take the lead role on increased public education on
the need for or use of pesticides and alternatives to their use.
The Operations Department will be exploring the following for 2007 and
2008 pending budget approval:
1. Seminar - Healthy Lawns, Healthy Gardens
2. Healthy Lawns and Garden Guide
3. Healthy Lawns Seminar with Commercial Vendors

7.0 DEVELOPMENT OF A MUNICIPAL PESTICIDE PROGRAM
In order to develop an overall pesticide strategy for Clarington, it is
suggested that the consultation process include the following:
. Media Releases
. Website Update and Feedback Forum
. Inviting Focus Groups to Comment
. Review of Feedback and Recommendations from the Public No Later
Than December, 2006
. Report to Council with Results and Recommendations by February,
2007
8.0 CONCLUSION
There is a growing movement by residents to demand higher expectations
for those managing pesticide. Staff continues to incorporate alternative
products and methods into their Plant Care Program. The blanket
application of spraying parks and trees is long gone. Integrated Pest
Management is an environmentally friendly approach using cultural,
biological, physical and mechanical methods.
In the end, we may have to adjust our mindset on what we think is green
and healthy and less reliant on chemical products, but better to resist
damaging pests and unwelcome weeds.

Dear John
As I mentioned the other day that it concerns me greatly when decisions are made based
on public opinion and not good science. I am referring to the council decision to have
staff review the use of cosmetic pesticides when there is probably no person either on
council or on staff has the expertise necessary to make this recommendation
The Pesticide Management Review Agency or PMRA for short is the federal agency
responsible for registering all pesticides. They review exhaustive studies to ensure that
the pesticide is safe to both humans and the environment and effective as a pesticide
before a new product is released. In addition they periodically review previously
registered products to ensure safety. PRMA has a call line at 1-800-267-6315, which will
answer any questions or concerns. It is not my position that concerns should be ignored
as every once and a while product restrictions are changed for safety reasons. These
decisions should be made by experts who are properly qualified. In my humble opinion
concerned individuals should be directed directly to this agency not dealt with by local
councils.
Unfortunately many people look at only one side of the equation and as a result miss the
benefits of a good healthy plant life. I have included several articles on this matter.
While talking with PMRA on buffers between farms and urban areas I talked to Shawn
Develin at PMRA. I believe his expertise has to do with human effects and his direct line
is 613-736-3849. He might be worth a call.
Another source of information for staffmight be Jackie Fraser, Executive Director of
AGCare in Guelph. I am told she has talked to councils and staff with regards to this
issue, She can be reached at 519-837-1326 or ifraser@a2care.onz
Please make this decision based on good science not public opinion.
Yours truly,
Ted Watson

In Praise of that Darned Grass (that Always Needs Cutting)!
As one of Nbrth America's fastest growing hobbies, gardening bears greater fruit than
simply theFc\peutic relaxation that is fun tor the whole family. Does that mean there is
more to garjjening than lawns, flowers, trees, fruit and vegetables? You bet!
G8rdening1. one of the few pastimes that actually improves the world in which we live.
Hobbies a generally selfish pursuits, usually enjoyed by individuals and their
immediate 'ends and family. How many hobbies can legitimately claim to improve the
environme~ and indeed the countryside? Gardening certainly can.
Gardening!provides exercise and has a therapeutic effect on the mind:
As a form qr physical exercise, gardening is good for the body. Whetf1ef pushing a lawn
mower, digging a vegetable garden, weeding the fIooNers or raking a lawn, vigorous
. physical aqvity is involved. Furthermore, the activity usually lasts for more than a few
minutes ~n~ of course, the activity Is outside, surrounded by fresh air. There is also
mental sti~lation. One normally thinks or the task at hand, Instead or the problems
earlier that !:lay. Think about It You may be stressed after a long day at work, but after
twenty mlnVles in the garden, you don't really think of the problems of the workday.
Once in the! garden, the mental and physical stress levels drop significantly.
Gardens tend to help the healing process:
Some rese~rch indicates a strong correlation to a shortened recovery time after an
operation, fpr patients whose rooms overlook a park with lawns and trees. The 5tudies
compared l/1e recovery time of patients who underwent the same operation. in the same
hospital. TtlOse with a View of the park. recovered laster than mose WltIIOut a view.
Nursing hol"es are also using gardening as an activIty for the elderly. Gardening Is not
necessarily! an outdoor activtty. Those involved with the gardening programmes often
appeared l1' better enjoy their lot in life and looked foIward to the ac:livity. It gives them Ii
sense or ~rpose and accomplishment. Studies also show that mental stimulation is an
important ~clor in helping to minimize the effects of conditions often associated with old
age. I
There are Important sociological benefits to gardening:
There are numerous examples of inner-city gardening projects such as The Oakland
Tree Task foroe in Oakland Calif. and the Philadelphia Green programme. In Oakland.
local resid;:ts were Org. anized to plant trees in the neighbourtlood, with aid coming frOm
a local. citiz group. Much or the work was performed by residents. Not only did It help
to beautify e community, but It brought people together. Now there was a sense of
communityJ or shared ownership and commitrn<<lt.
Other inner'reity projects have had a simHar impact on their cities. Gardening projects,
tree planting. painting, 01 fix-up parties give the residents a sense of community
812

r-Z32 P.Dl/08 "-55~
involvemeni. The resultins community pride and sense of well-being helped to transform
the otherwise depressed neighbourhood into a vital community.
Lawns and turf provide a soft playing surface and help to reduce sport injury:
Lawns and playing surfaces that are well designed and maintained are. safer t<;> p~y on.
The turf prqvides a firm. level surface for the foot. It also helps to cushl'')Il the Jarnng to
feet. ankles) and legs. Better footing and traction are to be found on gOOd turf. Bare
spots a~ slfppery when wet and harder to land on when someone falls. Numerous
studies show that a dense. well maintained turf playing field contributes to fewer sports
injuries tha? synthetic playing surfaces and improperly maintained fields.
One study ~howed that when a dozen eggs were dropped eleven feet and landed on a
dense, 2-inCh high grass playing field, none broke. Two thirds of a dozen broke, when
dropped frq'm the same height onto thin turf. All the eggs broke when dropped from just
18" onto an all-wealher track.
Lawns areloxygen generators:
A healthy Iclwo. commonly measuring SO' x 50'. generates a significant amount of
oxygen. T.h~ better the condition of the turf. the more oxygen the lawn will produce.
Collecti~,. these lawns can be a considerable generator of oxygen. In the United
States, it iSleatimated that the grass and trees which ijne the interstate highways.
produce e~ugh oxygen to support 22 million people.
One acre ~ trees supplies enough oxygen to meet the needs of 18 people. According to
the Americ;1n Forestry Association, a mature tree can generate enough oxygen for a
family of fojlr. .
They also l::ool our cities and reduce our energy costs:
. The COOlin~ effect of lawns and trees has been a well documented fact for some time.
The front ~s alone, of just eight average homes, can have the same cooling capacity
as 70 tons~air conditioning. The average houSEHlize central air conditioner is 3 to 4
tons in the .S. were temperatures are slightly warmer than in Canada. By the same
token. a Is e tree can have the same COOling capaCity as fifteen room-size (4000 BTU)
air oonditiohers. .
This cooll~ effect can be demonstrated in many ways. On a hot day, the surface
temperatu" of a lawn remains at approximately 750 F, while the temperature on the
sideWalk Of street can be wetl OVef' 100 0 F. It is not hard to see why it is much cooler to
welk on a I~wn than on pavement, on a hot summer day.
Oinect com~risons to air conditioners are not the only cooling benefit to be enjoyed.
Ene~y sa 'ng~ ~f 18 to 50 perce~t ~n be ~alized when trees are planted dose to air
condItion . budcbngs. ThIS reduction II'l cooling costs is realized most, when the trees
stan to fin .put. at the age of 15 to 20 years.
This reduCfion In energy usage may also have a direct impact on the carbon dioxide
813
or-~or-II 12:10 . F'....Pl.\fjT P;(I(;!.CTl

T-ll~ P OJ/OS ~-~a4
levels in the atmosphere, depending on how electricity is generated. By the same token,
trees plante<l around buildings act as a wind break. Reduced heating costs of 4 to 22
percent hav~ been observed due to the reduction of wind speeds around buildings.
Using less heating fuel in winter months also lessens the atmospheric levels of carbon
dioxide and ;Other greenhouse gases.
Lawns redQco noise pollution:
Lawns. treel; and ornamental shrubs have a noticeable effect on noise levels in our
environmen*. Blades of grass and leaves of different shapes, sizes and densities act as
filters to a~ the sound around us.
In one study, a particular variety of bluegrass was rated better at absorbing sound than
a heavy carPet on a fell pad. Another study shows that grass planted on an upward
slope, Ieadi/1g away from a freeway, can reduce the noise levels from 8 to 10 decibels. A
row of treeS 100 feet wide will similarly reduce noise levels by a to 10 decibels.
Trees and 'awns absorb ponutants from the air:
Plants a~rb carbon dioxide during the process of photosynthesis. Simply stated, the
leaf uses t~ carbon and releases the oxygen. It is estimated that one acre of trees will
annually remove 5 tons of carbon dioxide form the atmosphere. According to the
American irestry Association, a mature tree absorbs 26 pounds of carbon dioxide
annually. T at is roughly equal to the pollution created by a car driving 11,000 miles.
Age and v' our of the tree is an important factor. Comparing healthy trees, a 50 year old
sugar mapl will annually absorb 120 times more carbon than one that is 10 years old. It
is therefo~ critical, to property care for trees so that they can reach the mature stages
qf tneir ute pyae.
Dust and dirt released into the atmosphere by cars and industry are trapped by grass
and leaves iof other plants. These trapped particles get washed off the leaf surface by
rain and ~ter condensation. They faU to the soil surface where they can re-enter the
living soil. I
Lawns acti as a walllr filter:
There haVE! been many studies conducted on runoff water from lawns and turf.
Interestingl~, these studies report that there are few contaminants that IeI!Ich out of turf.
In fact. IaWfls act as a sponge and actually hold the water that faUs as rain or is applied
through a ~prinkler.
According '0 research by Dr. Thomas L Watschke, Professor of Turfgrass Science at
The Pennslflvania State University, fears of pollution from commercial or home owner
lawn maint~lnanca are unfounded. During the studies. it was difficult to get any runoff
from the tult, until the rate of irrigation was increased to simulate a 6 inch par hour
relnfaU. /'oJ. this rate of watering, the runoff contained almost no detectable levela of the
nutrients o~ pesticides that were used on the turf. They also found that the runoff water
of a well managed lawn is fairly comparable to the tap water of many cities. The thatch
layer and tJi,e root zone of the lawn trapped the chemicals Ihat had been applied and
814
.. -~. . "'"'' . "u",^, I ~

r-23~ p.a5!08 F-554
they did no~ conlarr.inate the water.
Lawns havEt proved to be far superior to most other forms of vegetation in preventing
runoff and fpr holding the soil. Maintaining a healthy turf is one of the best methods of
preventing '!vater and wind erosion. Furthermore, the roots growing in the soil are one of
the best wars of conditioning the soil. So even while the grass is prevbnling rtlnoff and
soii erosion~ the roots continue to improve the soil in which it grows.
Healthy turflhas many other important attributes such as its ability to reduce glare and
reflected lig!1t. " is therefore easier on the eyes and less fatlguing for drivers, which in
turn makes bur highways safer. A good fawn is a natural fire retardant. It even
djscourage~ small pests and rodents from living next to houses. These examples are
only a few q'f !he other benefits of a good lawn.
This short~' icle is by no means comprehensive. It cannot possibly do justice to the
attributes 0 a good lawn, nor the exhaustive studies that have been carried out by
research p fesslonals over the years. HopefuUy. it will cause us to be more appreciative
of the gree~ carpet that not only beautifies our homes, but improves our living
environmenf at 1he same time. So feed your lawns and gardens. Take gOOd care of
them and e~joy them both in the process.
If the rest of, the family is lucky, ... perhaps... just maybe, _won't complain so much
the next tlrr+ we have to cut the grass. .

Turf 6- Ga-vde-vv
In praise of that cilarned grassl
If you take a stroll ithrough your neighbourhood on a Saturday morning
in the spring or summer, you'll see homeowners busy trimming or
fusSing over the gr~en carpets of turf around their homes. Why do we
tie ourselves to th~se seasonal chores? What do our lawns give back?
Exerc;lse and rela'xatlon
As a form of exerci~e, gardening is good for the body, whether you are
pushing a lawn mo~er, raking the lawn, or weeding the ftowerbeds.
Caring for your law.n keeps you outside and involved in physical
activities. It's also ~ great way to switch your mental focus by
concentrating on your gardening tasks instead of the stresses of the
day. I .
Green gardens h.lp healing
Just a view of the garden may be all we need to feel better. Some
research shows a ~rong correlation between wellness and a scenic view.
Patients in the sarrje hospital, recovering from the same operation,
recovered more qU'ckly when their rooms overlooked a park. Nursing
homes also use gatdening programs, both Indoors and outdoors, to help
residents retain a ~ense of purpose and accomplishment, and to provide
the same mental c~allenges that appeal to gardeners of all ages.
Please plav on t~e grass
Lawns and turf pia Ing surfaces that are well designed and properly
maintained help to reduce sports InJUries. The turf provides a firm, level
surface for the foo . It also proVides better traction, and helps to cushion
the impact on athl~tes' feet, ankles and legs.
In one American st\Jdy, a dozen eggs were dropped from a distance of
11 feet onto a denSe 2 Inch thick playing field. NOne were broken in the
fall. When a second dozen was dropped from the same height onto a
thin turf, two-third$ of the eggs were broken. When a third dozen was
dropped from a height of 1.5 feet onto an all-weather track, all of the
eggs were broken i~ the fall.
Lawns are oxyge" generators
A hgalthy lawn, commonly m~asurjng SO feet by 50 feet (iSm by iSm),
generates a slgnlflejant amount of oxygen, and the better the condition
of the turf, the mo~e oxygen It will produce. The trees and grass that
line the Interstate t;lghways in the US produce enough oxygen for 22
million people. i

lawns are air purifiers, too. Dust and dirt released into the atmosphere
by cars and industry are trapped by grass and leaves of other plants.
These trapped par1!icles are washed off the leaf surface by rain and
water condensatiorit, and return to the living soli.
Staying cool! .
On a hot day, the ~urface temperature of a lawn remains at
approximately 750jF (240C), while the temperature of the Sidewalk or
street may be well 'over 1000F (38 oC). It's not hard to see why It is
I . ,
much cooler to wal" on a lawn than on pavement on a hot summer s
day. The front law~s of just eight average homes will cool as much
outside air as 70 tqns of air conditioning, or about 18 to 20 average-
sized central air cohditioners.
Lawns reduce nj'se pollution .
Lawns, trees and 0 namental shrubs have a noticeable effect on noise
levels In our envi nment.. Blades of grass and leaves of different
shapes, sizes and densities act as filters to absorb the sound around us.
In one study, one .J.arlety of bluegrass was shown to be better lit
absorbing sound t~an a heavy carpet on a felt pad. Another study
showed that grass /planted on an upward slope, leading away from a
freeway, can reducje the noise of traffic from eight to 10 decibels.
Lawns filter wa~r
lawns act as a spol1ge, and actually hold the water that falls as rain or is
app. lied through a~rinkJer. According to research done by Dr. Thomas
. l. Watschke, profe or of turfgrass science at Pennsylvania State
University, turf ca absorb all applied water until It was applied at a rate
of six Inches per h ur.
Even at this extre,.e rate of precipitation, the runoff contained almost
no detectable level~ of the nutrients used to fertilizer the turf. The
thatch layer and ~ root zone of the lawn trapped the fertilizer that had
been applied, and revent It from being washed away. Based on this
evidence, Dr. Wa hke concluded that fears of water pollution from
careful commercial or home owner lawn maintenance are unfounded.
His studies showe*hat the chemical analysis of the runoff water from II
healthy and well- alntalned lawn is generally equal to that of the tap
water of many citi .
Maintaining a healt/:1y turf Is one of the best methods of preventing
water and wind erosion, and while the grass is soaking up water, the
roots are condltlo~ng the soli below. Fertilizing your lawn, follOWing
label directions on he product package, will provide the nutrients your
lawn needs to gro at a healthy rate and resist disease.
A lush green carpet of healthy turf not only beautifies our homes, but It
Improves our living/ environment. Feed your lawns and gardens; take
care of them and ehjoy them, and try not to complain so lOUdly when It's
time to cut that dal-ned grass. . . again.

BACKGROUND
On December 15, 2005 Bill 128, being the Law Enforcement and Forfeited Property
Management Statute Law Amendment Act, 2005 received Royal Assent. The purpose of the
Bill is, in part, to support a province-wide strategy combating the spread of indoor marijuana
grow operations and the threat they pose to community safety.
Highlights of the Act
The Act affected seven different provincial laws. Generally speaking, the Legislation speaks to
the following:
. the maximum fines for offences were doubled to $50,000 for an individual and $100,000
for a corporation on conviction for a first offence under either the Building Code Act, the
Electricity Act, 1998 or the Fire Protection and Prevention Act.
. the Electricity Act, 1998 was further amended to allow distributors to shut off electricity
to a property without prior notice if they have reason to believe that there is a condition
in respect of the property that threatens or is likely to threaten the safety of any person
or the reliability of the distribution system.
. There were also changes to the Crown Attorneys Act, the Prohibiting Profiting from
Recounting Crimes Act, 2002 and the Remedies for Organized Crime and Other
Unlawful Activities Act, 2001
. The most extensive changes were to the Municipal Act 2001.
The amendments to the Municipal Act 2001 came into effect on August 1, 2006. The Act
requires municipalities to take action to deal with marijuana grow operations when the police
discover them in residential buildings. Those officers or inspectors who are assigned to deal
with the buildings must inspect them and take corrective action to make the building safe and
to protect the public. The inspection must be conducted within a reasonable time. The Act is,
however silent on what is to be considered a reasonable time.
The Ontario Police College is in the process of working with the Municipal Health & Safety
Association of Ontario regarding development of training protocols for both police and
municipal officers. Staff recently had the opportunity to preview and comment on the initial
training that MHSA is developing. As the protocols and procedures continue to be developed,
staff will access the training courses and equipment provided.
The Ministry has developed a draft document for the Notification Protocol in accordance with
the notification requirements of the Act, to be used by the police in securing the premises and
advising the municipality of the presence of a marijuana grow op in the community. This will
help to ensure that, once police complete their investigation of a grow operation property,
municipalities are notified and necessary steps are taken to have the building made safe for
the public.

Durham Regional Police are currently reviewing the Protocol template to develop their own

the protocol can customize the template to meet their specific needs.
Once the Notification Protocol has been finalized by the Regional Police, a further report will
be provided to Council. In the meantime staff are continuing to review our procedures and
pursue any and all training options available.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
By-law 99-90, commonly referred to as the Responsible Pet Owner By-law, was enacted by
Council on June 28, 1999 for the purpose of promoting the humane treatment of animals and
responsible pet ownership. This by-law set forth rules respecting dog licensing and
registration, cat licensing and registration, animals running at large, vicious dogs, restrictions
on number of pets allowed, noise as it relates to animals, licensing and operation of kennels,
impoundment of animals, minimum animal care requirements, adoptions, and all applicable
service fees.
Since its enactment, By-law 99-90 has been amended to adjust the fees, to appoint the
Manager of Municipal Law Enforcement to conduct Hearings relating to Orders to Restrain,
and to repeal Section 5 'Vicious Dogs" and replace it with a new Section 5 "Order to Restrain".
On March 7, 2005 Council received Report CLD-011-05, detailing the Public Safety Related to
Dogs Statute Law Amendment Act, 2005. (See Attachment 1 to this Report.) At that time, the
Bill, which amends the Dog Owners' Liability Act (DOLA) had not been proclaimed. However,
the Act came into effect on August 28, 2005. The amendments to DOLA primarily deal with
the following two issues: restrictions on pit bulls, and it expands the authority to commence
proceedings against an owner of a dog to include situations where the dog has behaved in a
manner that poses a menace to the safety of persons or domestic animals.
Given that our prevailing By-law 99-90, as amended, is inconsistent with the requirements of
DOLA, as amended, staff conducted a thorough review of the by-law. Input on this matter was
provided by members of the Clarington Animal Advisory Committee, the Solicitor for the
Municipality, and the Animal Alliance of Canada. In addition to reviewing the by-law for
consistencies with DOLA, staff also capitalized on this opportunity and reviewed our other
policies and procedures. A telephone survey of various municipalities was conducted
respecting their animal services practices and service fees. The findings of this review
concluded that the services and the fees for these services offered by our Animal Shelter are
similar to the other comparable sized shelters in Ontario.
The Responsible Pet Owners by-law is a regulatory by-law primarily enforced by the Animal
Services Officers. The Kennel By-law will be a licensing by-law that will be primarily enforced
by the Municipal Law Enforcement Division with the exception of the requirements dealing with
care of animals and condition of pens which will be enforced primarily by the Animal Services
Officers.
Attachment 2 to this Report details the most significant proposed amendments to our existing
Responsible Pet Owners By-law. These proposed amendments include: the inclusion of
special requirements for pit bulls, the division of Kennel Licensing requirements from
Responsible Pet Ownership, the inclusion of at large requirements in parks, the adjustment of
the fee structure, and the provision for penalties under DOLA in addition to those under the
Provincial Offences Act.
1105
REPORT NO.: CLD-022-06
PAGE 3
Attachment 3 to this Report details the most significant proposed amendments to our existing
Kennel licensing and operation regulations. These proposed amendments include: classifying
and defining kennels into Commercial Boarding, Commercial Breeding and Hobby Kennels;
expanding on the licensing regulations to clarify kennel structure requirements, clarify licensing
application requirements, and to authorize the right to inspect the kennels.
The licensing fees for Kennels has been amended to more appropriately reflect the
administrative costs associated with kennel licensing and enforcement (increase of $100 for
Commercial Boarding and Breeding and an increase of $60 for Hobby).
A copy of this Report and its attachments has been provided to all interested parties listed in
this Report.
Recommendation
Due to the number of changes required, and to clearly differentiate between the regulatory
activities of the Responsible Pet Owners By-law and the Licensing activities of the Kennel
Licensing, it is recommended that the existing Responsible Pet Owners By-law #99-90 be
repealed and that the attached By-laws marked Attachment 3 and Attachment 4 be forwarded
to Council for approval.

BACKGROUND
On Monday, March 1, 2005 Bill 132, being An Act to amend the Dog Owners' Liability Act to
increase public safety in relation to dogs, including pit bulls, and to make related amendments
to the Animals for Research Act, received ard Reading by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
The Short title of this Act is the Public Safety Related to Dogs Statute Law Amendment Act,
2005.
Generally speaking, the Legislation speaks to the following:
· Expands authority to commence proceedings against an owner of a dog to
include situations where the dog has behaved in a manner that poses a menace
to the safety of persons or domestic animals; or against a person who
contravenes the Act, regulations made under the Act or a court order made
under the Act.
. Courts have been granted the authority to order that a dog be neutered or
spayed.
· Mandatory destroying of a pit bull where the court finds that the pit bull has bitten
or attacked a person or domestic animal or has behaved in a manner that poses
a menace to the safety of persons, or where the owner of the pit bull has
contravened the Act.
. Bans the owning, breeding importing, transferring, abandoning and training to
fight of a pit bull. Provides a grandfather clause for pit bulls owned at the time
the Act comes into force or bom within 90 days of the Act coming into force (ie.
restricted pit bulls).
. Provides for controls on pit bulls.
· Grants search and seizure authority to Municipal Law Enforcement Officers, and
others, in specified circumstances.
· Increases fines for individuals, on conviction, to a maximum of $10,000 or
imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or both. Sets fines, for
corporations, on conviction, to a maximum of $60,000.
· Provides for matters relating to proof as to whether a dog is a pit bull for the
purposes of prosecutions.
Recognizing that this Legislation will significantly impact our Animal Services protocol and
administrative procedures, it is Staff's intention to review the neW requirements with the Animal
Advisory Committee and representatives of other shelters and report back to Council on this
matter.
At the time this report was written, the Lieutenant Govemor had not yet proclaimed the Act into
force.

Section 4.14 - Addresses Animals in Parks - This was formerly in the Parks
B -law and was removed to be included in this b -law.
Section 5 - Aggressive Behaviour - This section was formerly entitled "Order
to Restrain". With the new requirements of DOLA which speak to animals that

for under the Provincial Offenses Act, penalties may also be provided for under
DOLA. .
17. Section 12 - Exemptions - This section has been expanded to address visiting
it bulls and do shows.
18. Schedule A - Fees
Increases in fees are proposed to more accurately reflect the administrative
costs for administering the service and/or the product.
Licensina - The proposed licensing fee schedule is intended to simplify the
process. Where the existing fee structure sets a licensing fee and then offers
rebates for microchipping, spaying and neutering, and rabies, the proposed fee
structure sets out four rates for dogs and four rates for cats. This will make it
easier for pet owners to understand what the fees are. As well, We anticipate it
simplifying the door-to-door sales process. The new fee structure has
maintained current rates, for the most part, with some minimal increases. As
the Health Department insists that all cats and dogs have a current rabies
vaccination, we are no longer offering a rebate for this.
· Staff are recommending that the lifetime license for dogs be increased (from
$30.00 to $40.00 and for cats be increased from $20.00 to $40.00) to more
accurately reflect the administrative fees involved in tracking these licenses.
· Discounts for early purchase are currently offered up to March and staff are
recommending that these discounts be only offered for licenses purchased
during the month of December in the year immediately proceeding the
licensing year. This discount will not be offered for lifetime licenses.
Adootions - Staff are recommending a $10 increase in the fees for dog
adoptions.
Imooundments - Staff are recommending a change in the fee structure for
impounded animals. If the animal is licensed with a current licence or is
microchipped and if they are returned within 24 hours, and it is the first
occurrence, there is no fee (this is new), but for subsequent occurrences the fee
would be $75.00 (up $10 from current rates). Daily care rates are
recommended to increase to $15/day from the current $ 121day.
Transfers - Staff are recommending a $10 increase in the fees for transferring
ownership of a dog or litter brought into the animal shelter (from $45 to $55).
Attachment 2
Trap Rentals Staff are recommending a $10 increase in the trap deposit,
which is fully refundable upon return of the trap, and a $2.CJ increase in the
daily rental rate (from $3 to $5).

BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
At. it.s meeting of December 12, 2005, Council passed By-law 2005-237 authorizing the Mayor
and the Clerk to execute, on behalf of the Municipality of Clarington, a contract between the
Municipality of Clarington and the Corporation of the City of Pickering to provide feed, care and
sheltering services to the animals from Pickering on an interim basis.
The Term of the Agreement was for six months commencing January 1, 2006 with an option to
extend to December 31, 2006. The extension option was invoked.
Since January 2006, the Clarington Animal Shelter has taken in a total of 27 cats and 47 dogs
from the City of Pickering. Revenues collected from the City of Pickering for our services are
approximately $2700 (for the period ending July 31, 2006).
Our Animal Services Officers have developed a positive working relationship with the Pickering
Animal Control Officers and have adapted well to the increase in activities resulting from this
Assistance Agreement. That being said, however, there have been a number of issues
identified over the past eight months that supports the notion that sheltering for another
municipality is not an optimum long-term scenario. While each municipality is committed to the
welfare of their residents and their pets, our priorities and policies are not necessarily
consistent.
During the Term of the Agreement, the City of Pickering has been working to establish a more
permanent solution for the feed, care and sheltering of the animals in Pickering. On
September 26, 2006 we received a request from the City of Pickering to extend our Assistance
Agreement for a six month Term (expiring June 30, 2007). .
Further to the written request for extension, staff have discussed the matter with the Clerk of
the City of Pickering and are confident that this six month term should be sufficient time for the
City of Pickering to conclude its third party negotiations and would not unduly impact our
Animal Shelter. Staff, therefore, recommend that the Assistance Agreement with the CitY of
Pickering be extended fora further six month period, to June 30,2007.
Recommendation
That the draft by-law extending the Term of the Assistance Agreement with the City of
Pickering, included as Attachment 2 to this Report, be forwarded to Council for approval.

PAGEl
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 Mr. Richard Ward appeared before Council on September II, 2006 requesting his legal
representative be allowed to negotiate for the repeal of By-law 2001-141 and By-law
2003-171 (copy attached). The subject matter was referred to the Chief Administrative
Officer to follow up with Mr. Ward. .
1.2 In a brieftelephone conversation with Mr. Ward on September 22, 2006, Mr. Ward
requested By-law2001-141 and Amending By-law 2003-171 be repealed and all
information leading to the passage of the By-laws be disclosed.
1.3 The reasons leading to the passing of By-law 2001-141 are contained in the pre-amble
section which read:
"WHEREAS Council is satisfied that Richard Ward of 3709 Regional Road No.9,
Orono, Ontario, on several occasions, has verbally abused certain employees at the
Municipal Administrative Centre and on one recent occasion at the Orono Worlcs Yard of
the Municipality of C1arington;
AND WHEREAS the verbal abuse is not compatible with the maintenance of a safe and
secure work environment for employees and members of council so that they can
discharge their duties to the public without constraint;
AND WHEREAS Council is satisfied that if Richard Ward continues to be permitted to
enter the Municipal Administrative Centre and Orono Works Yard without restriction, the
verbal abuse is likely to be repeated and that repetition of it will improperly constrain
affected employees and members of council in the discharge of their duties."
1.4 In accordance to the Council minutes taken on July 6,2001, Council met in Closed
Session for the purpose of discussing a legal matter. The Chief Administrative Officer
was not present at that meeting but has ascertained that the discussion held during the
Closed Session was related to matters pertinent to the passing of By-law 2001-141.
Except for Councillor Trim, all members of Council were present in addition to the
Municipal Solicitor, the Acting Chief Administrative Officer, the Municipal Cleric, and
Inspector Tom Cameron from the Durham Regional Police.
2. COMMENTS:
2.1 Paragraph 3 of the By-law provides for the Chief Administrative Officer to grant entry
permission to Mr. Ward for those situations where the normal mean of communication
1402
REPORT NO.: ADM-06-06
PAGE 3
would not be feasible. In this regard, Mr. Ward has made several requests over the last
five years and the Chief Administrative Officer has granted entry permission to every
request
2.2 Since the passing of By-law 2001-141, there has not been any reported incident or
complaint from any staff member pertinent to Mr. Ward's approach or manner in dealing
with municipal staff. It would appear the continuation of By-law 2001-141 would not
serve any useful purpose and the Chief Administrative Officer would recommend the By~
law be repealed.
2.3 Repealing of the By-law does not preclude Council from re-enacting a similar By-law in
the future should circumstance warrant such action in the future.

ADDENDUM TO REPORT PSD-080-06
PAGE 2
1. On June 19, 2006 I reported to the General Purpose and Administration Committee of a
number of streets which were requested to be retroactively considered for recognition
with a poppy symbol.. At the time Report PSD-080-06 noted that the three names
requested were named for families or persons of historic significance in the community
and not necessarily for a war veteran or soldier that died in overseas service. The
recommendation was that streets should not be retroactively assigned a poppy.
At the meeting, Mr. John Greenfield, the representative of the Royal Canadian Legion,
Branch 178, appeared in opposition of the proposal. He indicated that if a poppy was
placed on the sign it would not take away from the intent to name the street after a
prominent member of the community, but rather a poppy would add significance. Mr.
Greenfield requested Council to turn down the staff recommendations contained in
Report PSD-080-06.
2. The General Purpose and Administration Committee adopted the following resolution:
THA T Report PSD-OBO-06 be referred to staff;
THA T staff arrange a meeting with the Royal Canadian Legion,
Bowmanville, Branch 178 to develop a strategy for street naming;
THA T staff seek input from Emergency and Fire SeNices; and
THA T staff report back to Council.
3. On August 21, 2006, staff met with various people with an interest in street naming for
historic purposes. This included:
. Jim Connell, President, Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 178
. John Greenfield, Street-Name contact for Royal Canadian Legion Branch 178
. Bill Calver, local historian and member Royal Canadian Legion Branch
178
. Francis Jose, Newcastle Historical Society
. Helen Schmid, local historian and author
At the meeting, information was provided that the street names referenced - Millson Hill
Drive, Jackman Road and Tooley Road - were not named for veterans or war dead.
There was a consensus of those present that the use of the poppy symbol retroactively
should not be considered because the streets were generally named for families as a
whole or for other persons not necessarily involved in the military. In this regard, the
staff recommendations were supported.
4. There was a concern that there were persons of considerable historic significance to the
community who were not on the street name list (e.g. Eldad Johns in Orono). It was
also noted that in the past, when names were not tied to specific communities, some
1502
ADDENDUM TO REPORT PSD-080-06
PAGE 3
names had been used in the wrong urban area. Our present policy is to assign names
to the community that people were associated with and not Clarington as a whole.
5. As requested, this report has been reviewed by the Director of Emergency and Fire
Services. The only concern of Emergency and Fire Services is that there be no
duplication in street names.
6.0 CONCLUSION
It is recommended that Council adopt the amendments to the Policy for War Dead and
War Veteran Names for Streets as shown on Attachment 1 to Report PSD-080-06.
This report has been reviewed by the Director of Emergency and Fire Services.

1, In May 2001, Council adopted a revised policy on the recognition of Clarington's war
dead and veterans through street names in the Municipality. At that time, the decision
was taken to introduce the poppy symbol on the street signs for the street This has
proven to be extremely well-received; \
2. Earlier, the MUnicipality had a practice of recognizing historic names of early settlers
and community builders. Some of this occurred prior to the amalgamation and creation
of what is now the Municipality of Clarington. Naturally, a number. of older families in
the community that were recognized with a street name also had sons (or daughters)
that served in the military overseas and killed in action.
3. Staff has received a number of inquiries requesting that the poppy symbol be used for
other existing streets in the Municipality where there is some association with a veteran,
As far as staff can .tell, these streets were named for early families or individuals and not
a veteran or soldier killed in action.
4. At the present time there are three inquiries to replace street signs with those having a .
poppy symbol:
. Millson Hill Drive in Orono
. Jackman Road in Bowmanville
. Tooley Road in Courtice
5. It should be noted that the Municipality instituted the Book of Service as a means of
honouring Clarington veterans, since all could not be recognized through the street
names project for one reason or another. .
6. It is proposed that the poppy symbol would not be placed retroactively on streets signs
for those streets that existed prior to the program unless there is proof that the street
was specifically named for a veteran or soldier killed in action. Accordingly, the Policy
for War Dead and War Veteran Names for Streets would be modified by adding a new
Section 8 as per Attachment 1.
7. The Policies for War Dead and War Veteran Names for Streets also require some
"housekeeping" amendments.
. Pethick Street is named for a war veteran from the Peninsular War (1808-1814) and
this war needs to be added to the list of recognized military actions in Policy 1 (see
Attachment1 ).
. Those who were killed in a peacekeeping action have always been recognized as
"war dead", However, the war veteran's policy (Policy 2) has not recognized those
who have served in a peacekeeping action as "war veterans". It is proposed Policy
2 be amended to recognize veterans who served as peacekeepers in oVerseas
combat roles.
. Changes are shown in bold.

. 'A, VOFi.:F CVIRIN ;'
We oppose this application and feel it is premature at this time for the follow Of."j::1ce GrON
reasons:
This property at 2735 Hancock Road sits in Green Belt and is outside the Urban
boundary.
A building ofthis size where possibly many many people would use it has no Storm
Sewers or Fire Hydrants.
This building would be used 12 months of the year and possibly 24 hours a day.
Entry to this property off Hancock Road going north from Highway 2 has had no
improvements for many years and cars have to pull over into oncoming traffic to enter the
Driving range.
The operation and building of this size would be much better suited in South Courtice
or South Bowmanville in the Recreational park area that already have services in place, where
Clarington planning already has approved this type of operation.
It would also suit the area rather than along Highway #2.

PROPOSED RESOLUTION - OPTION A
Rogers Cable has put in a request to use the Council Chambers on October 19, 2006 in the
evening for the purpose of hosting a debate of the candidates for the Mayor's office. I have
reviewed Council's adopted policy from a few years back, and advised Rogers that our policy
would appear to prohibit the proposed event to be held at the MAC. Rogers indicated that the
MAC building is an ideal location because it is already wired and ready to go. I advised
Rogers that I will bring this matter to COI.lncil's attention at Monday's GPA and it would be
Council's decision whether it wishes to waive the policy. For your information, the Board of
Trade has made a similar request earlier and was advised of the same policy, and the Board is
going somewhere else.
To be consistent my suggestion is not to waive the policy. In the event Council decides to
allow Rogers to use Council Chambers, I would recommend that you impose the following
conditions.
Proposed Resolution
Option A
THAT Rogers Cable be advised that the Council Chambers is off limits for political debates.
Option B
THAT Rogers Cable be permitted to use the Council Chambers on October 19, 2006 for a
municipal election debate subject to:
1.
That Rogers reimburses the Municipality for all costs incurred in providing staff
overtime for building security and maintenance; and

2. That Rogers undertakes to notify all candidates that except for the actual debates
among the candidates there shall be no display of any political campaign
materials, banners, signage, buttons, etc. within the MAC building.
I would appreciate if one of you would bring this matter up under Other Business at today's
GPA.
