Report: Addendum Report to PSD -024-18
Location: Southeast corner of Clarington Boulevard extension and Green
Road, Bowmanville
Anne Taylor Scott, Senior Planner, made a verbal and electronic presentation to the
Committee regarding the application.
Julie Heaton, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. She explained to the
Committee she entered into a contract with the developer to reserve a townhome in the
proposed MODO South development in 2016. Ms. Heaton added that she recently
advised, due to the revised plans, her townhome may not be built. She noted that she
should have been in her townhome in January 2019 and is concerned that if the original
application is changed, her deposit will be returned and she will no longer be able to
purchase a home due to increased housing prices. Ms. Heaton concluded by asking for
the original proposed development to be approved.
Laura Labine, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. She advised the
Committee she is concerned with the increased traffic that will result of this development.
Ms. Labine explained that she understands the need for high density development. She
added that she does not believe this development will promote the use of public
transportation and feels this is area is too small for this type of development. Ms. Labine
concluded that she is also concerned with the safety of the school zone as this already a
busy area.
Rimon Philips, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He asked about the
road widening and feels traffic will be a concern as Green Road is currently a single lane,
both ways. Mr. Philips asked if the school in the area will be able to accommodate the
increased density.
Jim Scarth, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He is concerned with
the increased traffic and asked if there will be direct access to Green Road or if this
development will need to use Clarington Boulevard. Mr. Scarth explained that he feels
that the roundabouts are failing when the majority of traffic is travelling in the same
direction and are causing traffic congestion during busy times of the day. He added that
it is difficult to enter the roundabouts and the addition of this development will add to the

problem. Mr. Scarth feels this is too much density for this area. He asked about the
setbacks of the townhouses from the road. Mr. Scarth concluded by stating he supports
increased density but does not feel this is right development for this area.
Drew Dowling, Walker Head Lawyer, was present on behalf of the applicant. He advised
the Committee he was available to respond to any questions. Mr. Dowling noted that
Staff has adequately summarized the project. Approximately one month ago the original
proposal was no longer acceptable to the Municipality. In response to the Council's
refusal, the applicant has prepared a new proposal to submit to the Municipality. Mr.
Dowling noted that Ms. Heaton's situation is a concern to the developer. He advised that
they are prepared to answer any questions and once a decision is made on their
proposal they will work out the details in the site plan which would include the setbacks.
Mr. Dowling explained that the reserved purchased agreements will be dealt with by
Kaitlin Corporation and the purchasers will be contacted to see how they wish to
proceed. He concluded by advising the Committee that the applicant would like to move
forward with this project. Mr. Dowling answered questions from the members of
Committee.

10 Communications— Direction
10.1 Ernie Hardeman, M.P.P., Oxford, Regarding Municipal Authority Over
Landfill Sites
Resolution #PD -065-18
Moved by Mayor Foster, seconded by Councillor Woo
That the following resolution, regarding Municipal Authority Over Landfill Sites, be
endorsed by the Municipality of Clarington:
Whereas municipal governments in Ontario do not have the right to approve
landfill projects in their communities, but have authority for making decisions on all
other types of development;
And Whereas this out -dated policy allows private landfill operators to consult with
local residents and municipal Councils, but essentially ignore them;
And Whereas municipalities already have exclusive rights for approving casinos
and nuclear waste facilities within their communities, and further that the province
has recognized the value of municipal approval for the siting of power generation
facilities;
And Whereas the recent report from Ontario's Environmental Commissioner has
found that Ontario has a garbage problem, particularly from Industrial,
Commercial and Institutional (ICI) waste generated within the City of Toronto,
where diversion rates are as low as 15%;
And Whereas municipalities across Ontario are quietly being identified and
targeted as potential landfill sites;
And Whereas municipalities should be considered experts in waste management,
as they are responsible for this within their own communities, and often have
decades' worth of in-house expertise in managing waste, recycling, and diversion
programs;
And Whereas municipalities should have the right to approve or reject these
projects, and assess whether the potential economic benefits are of sufficient
value to offset any negative impacts and environmental concerns;
Therefore be it resolved that the Municipality of Clarington supports Bill 16,
Respecting Municipal Authority Over Landfilling Sites Act introduced by MPP
Ernie Hardeman and calls upon the Government of Ontario, and all political
parties, to formally grant municipalities the authority to approve landfill projects in
or adjacent to their communities; and
