The highlights of his presentation were: • The OPA was established in 2005 under Bill 100, The Electricity Restructuring Act. • The OPA reports to the Legislature through the Ministry of Energy. • The OPA is licensed and regulated by the Ontario Energy Board, is independent and not-for-profit. • The OPA performs the following key functions: o Power System Planning -developing and maintaining a long- term integrated power system plan for coordinating the supply and transmission in Ontario o Generation Development -contracting for investment in new generation projects and demand management initiatives to reduce the demand-supply gap for electricity o Conservation Bureau -facilitating the management of demand by coordinating and developing conservation programs for electricity users o Energy Sector Development - assuring smooth prices to residential and other designated customers while recovering the full cost for electricity • The OPA was requested by the Minister of Energy on May 2, 2005 to provide advice on the future "supply mix" for Ontario. • The OPA submitted The Supply Mix Advice Report to the Minister of Energy on December 9, 2005 outlining several recommendations. • The Minister of Energy is expected to respond to the OPA's "supply mix" advice in the spring of 2006. • The Supply Mix Advice Report to the Minister of Energy included the following highlights: o The electricity sector in Ontario has less capacity today than it did 12 years ago yet the demand for electricity has increased due to population and economic growth rr t o A projected province-wide shortfall in supply capacity will emerge this decade and will grow rapidly over time o The shortfall stems from Ontario's shrinking supply and growth in demand for electricity - o The shortfall problem is due to a lack of investment to expand electricity capacity in the past decade, the planned closing of coal-fired stations by 2009 and existing nuclear plants will reach the end of their design use over the next few years o In 2005, the nuclear plants supplied 51 % of the electricity production in Ontario o Several initiatives are under way to increase the balance of supply and demand until 2013 however increasing demand and loss of nuclear power capacity will once again overwhelm the system to meet Ontario's electricity needs o By 2025, 80% of Ontario's electricity needs or approximately 24,000 megawatts, will not be met by Ontario's electricity producing facilities if new facilities are not built o In order to ensure consumers in Ontario have a reliable and affordable mix of supply sources, long lead times and decisions are needed soon The OPA took into account the nature of the problem and provided the following elements for a solution in their Supply Mix Advice Report: o Conservation and other forms. of demand management must be a major part of any plan o Renewable energy sources offer considerable potential especially in the long-term o Gas-fired generation will play a targeted but critical role o Nuclear power generation has a continued role for base-load needs o Any plan must be flexible enough to act on new .electricity opportunities The Supply Mix Action Plan to ensure future reliability and flexibility contained the following 10 major principles: o Plans must adapt to different possible futures o Move immediately to capture conservation opportunities o Acquire up to 5,000 megawatts of wind power o Seek to achieve full biomass and waste potential to generate electricity o Continue to monitor closely the risks to the coal replacement schedule o Adopt a "smart gas" strategy by using gas only in high value applications o Pursue hydro imports o Investigate the potential for refurbishing existing nuclear units o Initiate approvals for permitting new nuclear facilities 4 ~Irr o Develop policies and plans for the transmission system that is ~ necessary to integrate the supply options • Next Steps for OPA: ~„ o Receive feedback on their Supply Mix Advice Report from the Minister of Energy in the spring 2006 o Develop an integrated plan and submit it to the Ontario Energy ~,,, Board by the fa112006 o Develop a regulated review of the integrated plan in the winter 2006 Andrew Pietriewcz will keep the DNHC updated and he can be reached at (416) 969-6040 or by a-mail at andrewpietriewcz~~opa.gov.on.ca for more information.

Committee passed the following resolution: "THAT the delegation of Nick Mensink, Sernas Associates, on behalf of Mario Veltri be referred to staff to report back to Council within one week concerning the request to proceed with phasing of the Newtonville Estates Development.". . 1.2 Although it is not specifically stated in the resolution, it was the committee's intention to permit the phasing without the walkway connection being required for the first 20 lots. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 On December 13, 2004, Council endorsed Report PSD-138-04 approving Plan of Subdivision 18T-89048 fora 39 unit residential plan of subdivision (Veltri's Newtonville Estates) and authorized the Director of Planning Services to issue Conditions of Draft Approval. Plan of Subdivision 18T-89048 is in the south east quadrant of Newtonville and is immediately abutting the east limits of draft approved plan of subdivision 18T- 87083 (Newtonville Gardens) (see Attachment No. 1). 2.2 Comments from the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, were contained in Staffs Report, requesting that adequate provision for sidewalks be made. Specifically, should the Veltri plan of subdivision proceed in advance of the draft approved plan of subdivision 18T-87083 to the west, a hard surfaced walkway from the westerly boundary of 18T-89048 at Jones Avenue to the easterly limit of the existing Jones Avenue was to be provided. The walkway would stay in place until Plan 18T-87083 is developed. The Owner is required to negotiate an easement over the intervening draft approved lands in order to facilitate such a walkway, if the necessary lands can not be purchased. Maintenance of the walkway into be provided year round at no cost to the Board. Based on this comment condition of Draft Approval No. 34 was included (see Attachment No. 2 ). The Municipality of Clarington is required to clear this condition of Draft Approval, not the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board. 3.0 STAFF COMMENTS 3.1 Mr. Veltri has been unsuccessful in his attempts to negotiate with the adjacent landowner (18T 87083) to obtain either an easement to provide the walkway or acquire the lands to provide for the extension of Jones Avenue. Mr. Veltri is requesting to proceed with twenty lots, in the first phase of the subdivision without implementing the l~. REPORT NO.: PSD-064-06 PAGE 3 requirements of Condition 34, but deferring the condition until Mr. Veltri proceeds towards the registration of Phase II. Mr Veltri and Mr Mensick suggested a warning could be registered on title of the 20 lots advising that purchasers that children attending Newtonville Public School from a dwelling unit in Phase I would have to walk north to Highway 2, west to Regional Road 18 and than south to the school. 3.2 Staff discussed the matter with Staff at the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board and they offered no objection to Phase I proceeding without the installation of a ~ pedestrian connection though Jones Avenue. 3.3 Staff from Planning Services and Engineering Services have reviewed the proposal and offer the following comments. 3.3.1 The walking distance from the mid-point of the draft approved plan of subdivision to the Newtonville Public School through Jones Avenue extension is approximately 710 metres.. The walking distance from the mid-point of the draft approved plan via the extension of the road yet to be constructed between Lots 6&7 to Highway 2 and along Regional Road 18 is 1770 metres; a difference of approximately one (1) kilometre. There are no sidewalks along Highway 2 or Regional Road 18 (See Attachment No. 3). It would be preferable to provide a more direct route to the school. The Engineering Services Department does not endorse directing pedestrians along Highway 2 and Regional Road 18 due to lack of sidewalks on these busy roads. 3.3.2 At the present time there are a number of pedestrian pathways through the both plans of subdivision 18T-89048 (Newtonville Estates) and 18T-87083 (Newtonville Gardens): Deferring the installation of this connection may increase trespassing through the privately owned lands or may trigger a request from future residents for the installation of a sidewalk connection. 3.3.3 All other Conditions of Draft Approval remain unchanged by the request, with the exception of Condition 34, and are to be fulfilled by the applicant. ~ 4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS E 4.1 The applicant suggested that a Condition be added to the purchase and sale agreements advising purchasers in Phase 1 that access to the school on Regional Road 18 will be by way of Payne Crescent and Highway 2. To facilitate the direction provide by the General Purpose and Administrative Committee, staff respectfully request that a revised Condition 34, as shown on Attachment 4 be approved.

The legal description is Part Lot 7, Concession 1, former Township of Clarke 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 On November 29, 2002, the Planning Services Department received the last of the revision documents required to circulate the revised proposed plan of subdivision and related zoning by-law amendment application. The subdivision application proposes to create 39 lots for single-family detached dwellings, a storm water management .block, a block reserved by the owner and focal roads. 2.2 A public meeting for the proposed plan of subdivision and rezoning was held on January 6, 2003. Three neighbours spoke with concern for aspects of the subdivision proposal. 2.3 One neighbour was the organizer of a petition that was signed by eight households from Jones Avenue to oppose the proposal due to pre-maturity regarding lack of community services. To the signers it appeared Jones .Avenue would be the sole access to the entire subdivision placing an inappropriately large traffic burden on this street and imperilling emergency access. They foresaw approximately 80 vehicles per day using the street from the proposed subdivision. They said this figure would increase when the developer started building on Block 41 and that the Veltri lands plus the Quadrillium lands could generate as much as 250 vehicles per day travelling on Jones Avenue. It was noted these vehicles would be generally travelling past Newtonville Public Elementary School making the traffic. situation at the school much worse. A second access. was suggested using either the road allowance extending north to Paynes Crescent or a westerly extension to Street "B" to connect to Newtonville Road. i`' REPORT n10.: PSD-138-04 PAGE 4 They stated septic systems for all of the above-mentioned houses would, in total, be an environmental nightmare. They suggested this housing was on the "Ganaraska Forest Watershed". Concern was expressed as to what the storm water runoff "would do" to Highway 401 and lands and wells to the south. They argued more houses in the area will necessitate more policing and taxes to pay for ~ it, and specifically, additional youth from the new housing would generate a further policing problem given the area's relative lack of transit and recreational opportunities. 2.4 The other two neighbours agreed with the .petitioners and .one claimed approval of the proposal would double Newtonville's population. 2.5 No one spoke in support of the applications. The agent for the owners, G.M. Sernas & Associates, noted that the lands are designated residential and that a detailed hydrogeological analysis has been undertaken. Half-acre lots will be in the northern and western portions of the site and the owner is willing to use the unopened road allowance between Part Lots 6 and 7. 3.0 LAI`I® CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 3.1 The topography of this now vacant property is relatively flat, with a gentle incline toward the southeast where the Bouchette Point Creek and its valleylands are situated. The property is almost completely within the Lake Iroquois Beach/Shoreline. A little over half the site -its east-central and southern portions (Block 41, reserved by the owner and the subdivision's nitrate dilution area) are generally covered with tableland Woodlot. The subdivision's 39 dwellings are proposed for the northern portion of the property. 3.2 The surrounding land uses are as follows: North: Hamlet Residential with frontage on Paynes Crescent ~` South: Highway 401 ~, East: Valleylands, Tableland Woodlot and Meadowlands ti. West: 28 unit Draft Approved Plan ~of Subdivision on Valleylands, Tableland Woodlot and Meadowlands 4.® ®FFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY 4.1 The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the property Hamlet. In Policy 13.3.5, new municipal water service to a Hamlet is intended. for only the hamlet area delineated in the Area Municipal Official Plan. Municipal water service was extended toNewtonville in 1989. The application subject to complying with the relevant portions of Policy 13.3.9 would conform to the Regional Plan. Regional staff will be providing comments on these . matters. i. REPORT NO.: PSD-138-04 PAGE 5 4.2 The Clarington Official Plan designates the ~ southern portion of the property Environmental Protection Area and the remainder Hamlet Residential. A significant valleyland runs along the southern edge of the property and a tableland woodlot is located on the north side of the valleylands. Policies within the Plan stipulate an Environmental Impact Study is to be undertaken for any development applications located within or adjacent to any natural features identified in the Plan's Natural Features and Land Characteristics Map. An Environmental Impact Study is required and it is now complete. The draft Plan of Subdivision as submitted meets the policy requirements of the Official Plan. 5.0 ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE 5.1 Within Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 of the former Town of Newcastle, the • subject property is zoned in part "Agricultural (A)" and in part "Environmental Protection (EP)". The proposed development does not conform, hence, the rezoning application. 6.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 6.1 The application was circulated to various agencies and other departments. Comments and requested conditions of draft approval received to date are as follows. 6.2 The Regional Police Service and Hydro One Networks inc. had no concerns. 6.3 The separate school board requested that adequate provision for sidewalks be made 6.4 The public school board requested that adequate provision for sidewalks be made. Specifically, a hard surfaced walkway is requested from the westerly boundary of 18T- 89048 at Jones Avenue to the easterly limit of the existing Jones Avenue. This walkway shall stay in place until Plan 18T-87083 is developed. Maintenance of the walkway is to be provided year round at no cost to the Board. This request has been included in the Conditions of Draft Approval. 6.5 The Clarington Emergency and Fire Services Department noted that the maximum length of a dead end street without aturn-around is 90 metres. 6.6 The Engineering Services Department offered no .objections to the application and provided a list of requirements which have been included in the list of Conditions of Draft Approval in Attachment 2. 6.7 The Regional Planning Department commented the subject property is in the Hamlet of Newtonville and hamlets shall be the predominant location for rural settlement. Hamlet settlement shall have a potable water supply .and soil that is .satisfactory for private sewage systems for each proposed lot, all in compliance with the standards of the Region and the Ministry of the Environment. The Department further noted that a :~, ~` REP®RT IVO.t PSD-138-04 PAGE 6 hydrogeological report was provided by the owner and peer reviewed to the satisfaction of the Region. A site servicing plan and a final subdivision grading plan are to be submitted to the satisfaction of the Regional Health Department in accordance with ~` Polic 13.3.9.. The ro osed Ian of subdivision a ~„ Y p p p ppears to conform to the. Regional Official Plan. Regarding the Region's delegated review responsibilities for provincial interests, there may be a noise problem for the subdivision due to the proximity of Highway 401. A Noise Impact Study should be submitted to address noise from this highway, in accordance with provincial criteria and regional policy. The Region noted the preparation of the Environmental Impact Study Qointly coordinated by Clarington and the Ganaraska Conservation Authority) that examined the proposed subdivision's impact on the various environmental features and functions found in the woodlot and associated environmental protection area in the south portion of the property. Also noted was the proposed storm water management facility that was intended to mitigate impacts on the above environmental features and functions. .The Region commented that the conservation authority must be satisfied in regards to the above issues. Regional water service was to be accessed from the Jones Avenue watermain and the Paynes Crescent watermain. For the latter watermain the Owner will be required to extend it south on the Lots 6 & 7 unopened road allowance to the extended Jones r Avenue and then westerly to the Jones Avenue watermain including through the future development of the Plan of Subdivision on the west (18T-87083). A 6.0 metre watermain easement will be required from the existing Jones Avenue through the future r development of 18T-87083. Regarding regional development charges and water supply capacity charges, through agreement with the Region, the owner has a credit for 33 housing units. With the proposed 39 unit plan, the Owner will be required to purchase 6 units of water supply capacity at $6,000 per unit, and pay. development charges at ~, current rates, for the 6 units. Regional sanitary sewer service is not available to the Hamlet of Newtonville and there are no plans to make it available. Private sanitary service is the only feasible method of servicing. The Regional Health Department has stated that the necessary geo-technical information, including a peer review from the Region's hydro-geological consultant, confirmed that this proposed development can be serviced on .the basis of private . sewage disposal systems and a municipal watersystem. The Region has provided nine (9) conditions of draft approval, all of which are contained in Attachment 2. 6.8 The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority has reviewed .the revised plan and noted . their concerns for Lots 26 to 30 and Block 40 have been met. The Authority's five (5) conditions of draft approval are included in Attachment 2. REP®fftT NO.: PSD-138-04 ~ PAGE 7 6.9~ .The. Ministry of Transportation -Ontario MTO noted in relimina .comments, a ( ) P ry Ministry Permit is required for all signs visible to Highway 401. A condition of draft approval was requested and subsequently included in Attachment 2, stating that prior to final approval, the owner was to submit to the Ministry for approval, a copy of a drainagelstorm water management plan/report showing intended treatment of the calculated runoff. 6.10 Enbridge Consumers gas requested four (4) conditions be included in the list of Draft Conditions and subsequent entry in the Municipality's subdivision agreement (see Attachment 2). 6.11 Bell Canada noted that after detailed review of the plan, it was concluded that adequate telecommunication facilities exist in the area and therefore, Bell Canada does not require any easement or lease. Two conditions were requested for inclusion in the draft conditions (see Attachment 2). 6.12 Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Canada Post Corporation, the French- , language public school board, the French-language separate school board and the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee did not send any comments. 7.0 ST~OFF COMMENTS 7.1 The concerns raised by residents have been addressed as follows: a) Jones Avenue -Sole access to the Subdivision and overloaded wifh vehicular traffic. The Veltri Subdivision proposes 39 dwellings. The Quadrillium Subdivision is draft approved for 28 dwellings. Each draft plan complies with the Official Plan designation and development density for the Hamlet of Newtonville. In the short term, all access for the Veltri subdivision will be accommodated through the use of the road allowance between Lots 6 and ~7. The opening of the road allowance between the existing and proposed segments of Jones Avenue will be provided for through the development of the Quadrillium Subdivision. While traffic will obviously increase, it is not significant and well within the traffic levels appropriate for a residential street. b) All the Septic Systems would be a nightmare in the "Ganaraska Forest Watershed" This area is not part of the Ganaraska River watershed. An Environmental Impact .Study has been done for the ~ Subdivision and the draft plan modified accordingly. A liydrogeological study, a peer review of this study, a Regional Health Department review of the peer review, and related conditions of draft approval are all designed to ensure that the septic systems will not endanger human health. F~1=1~ORT FJO.: PSD-138-04 PAGE 8 c) Approving the Veltri Subdivision would double IVewtonville's population. The application as submitted complies to the Official Plan designation and the Official Plan density provisions for the lots. This growth has been anticipated and should have been understood by all residents of Newtonville because it was the funding mechanism that enabled water services to be extended to existing residents. 7.2 This plan of subdivision will be constructed to a semi-urban standard due to drainage constraints which would otherwise be problematic. 7.3 The Veltri Subdivision is abutted on the west bydraft-approved plan of subdivision 18T- 87083 (Quadrillium). This plan was approved in 1992 and it has 28 single detached ,,. units and a park that is bordered by the school, Regional Road 18/Newtonville Road, Jones Avenue, and Street "A" of 18T-87083: This park, when built, will provide recreational opportunities for the residents of both subdivisions. 7.4 The Environmental Impact Study determined there are no features of special significance within the area proposed for development. To the south of the development area, the existing woodlot includes upland, lowland and wetland environments and two small drainage features. Discharge and seepage areas are within the woodlot feature, which has a slope break along its northerly perimeter adjacent the development area. The woodlot habitat is in excellent condition, forming a large, contiguous block of natural vegetation and providing excellent deer habitat. It is also connected to wooded and wetland features east and west of the property and if these connections are maintained interior forest habitat conditions may be possible. The coridition of the vegetation, the limited disturbance of.the woodlot and the general absence of invasive species support the need to protect the woodlot. Clearly the woodlot is linked to the headwaters of Bouchette Point Creek a Coldwater stream, and is protecting a discharge area to the creek. 7.5 At the time of the Study, the subdivision proposal impacted on the existing woodlot in a numberof ways such as: • The proposed stormwater pond, outleted into the cedars to the south, likely excessively watering them and causing them to decline; and . The above pond, Lots 26 and 27 encroached into the vvoodlot. 7.6 The Study concluded the proposed development could be accommodated. within .the environmental constraints of the site provided the environmental protection measures the proponent has agreed to are made conditions of approval, including: • Revising the conceptual stormvvater management design to address not the 1994 but the 2003 version of the MOE Stormwater Management Best Management Practices Manual (now Condition 36); REPORT NO.: PSD-138-04 PAGE 9 • Providing storm water infiltration within the pond and in the swales that convey runoff to the pond thereby generating protection from: y= .Downstream erosion, increased stream water temperatures that harm Coldwater fish, decreased base flows in Bouchette Point Creek and decreased water table elevations (now Condition 37); • Adhering to 39 lots as the maximum number for the site as evidenced by nitrate and water balance calculations (now Condition 1); • Modifying the stormwater. management pond, Lots 26 and 27 to protect the woodlot (now in the plan referenced in Condition 1 }; and • Fencing the north edge of the woodlot across the entire width of the property, or as a minimum, the edge along the stormwater management pond arid Lots 27-30 inclusive (now Condition 38). 7.7 The Applicant has verbally indicated that he does not agree with two conditions, one being a Regional Health Department condition -Condition 33. f), and specifically, the final clause in the condition that states: "...Block 41, shall become a part of the subdivision and may not be developed for any purpose." Approximately 10.85 ha (65%) of Block 41 is a woodlot. The remaining 5.84 ha (35%) is open field., Planning Staff is of the opinion that use of the nitrate dilution area, even for agricultural use, may impact the nitrate dilution function and/or diminish the residential, atmosphere of the subdivision, whether by the use of crop planting, grazing cattle or a golf course /driving. range. To this end, zoning that would protect the nitrate .dilution function and permit enjoyment of the use of the residential lots has been adopted for Block 41 and Block 40 (stormwater management pond). The zoning is "Environmental Protection (EP- 9)" and it permits only."conservation, bird sanctuaries, wildlife reserves or other similar uses which provide for the preservation of the natural environment, and flood and erosion control works". As well, staff will not. alter a condition set down by the Regional Health Department. Staff notes Regional Health, through Regional Planning, circulated, copies of their draft conditions, including the disputed clause, in early February 2004 to the Applicant and the Applicant's consultant. 7.8 The other disputed condition, one that was drafted by Planning and Ganaraska Region Conservation .Authority Staff, is Condition 38, and specifically, the second sentence in the condition which states: "Furthermore the north edge of the woodlot across the entire width of the property is to be fenced to the satisfaction of the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority." The Applicant has expressed particular concern with fencing the woodlot across the entire width of the property and notes that the related recommendation's wording in the Environmental Impact Study is not exactly the same, that is: "the north edge of the woodlot across the entire width of the property should be fenced, or as a minimum, the edge along the stormwater management pond and Lots 27 - 30 inclusive." Planning Staff is of the opinion that access from the subdivision to the ~" I~EPOI'2T NO.: PSD-138-04 RR,GE 10 woodlot needs to be minimized, the fencing requirement is consistent with the Study recommendations.
