CARRIED General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes January 22, 2007 PRESENTATION Dan Armeno, Project Manager - Highway 407 East, Ministry of the Environment and Doug Allingham, President, Totten Sims Hubicki Associates appeared before the Committee to provide an update on the 407 East Environmental Assessment. They reported on a series of public information sessions held in November/December, 2006 whereby alternative routes to Highway 407 were identified and presented to interested stakeholders. Mr. Allingham stated that approximately 70 forms were received at the public information sessions resulting in general support to the alternatives displayed, recognition of the need for the Highway 407 extension, concerns about property issues, loss of agricultural land and protection of the Greenbelt and Oak Ridges Moraine. Over the next six to eight months a short list of alternative routes will be evaluated based on criteria from interested stakeholders and would result in a preferred route being established. A commitment has not been received from the ETR concerning ownership of the extension west of Brock Road. The study forecast to 2031 presented significant improvements to transit and regional roads, identified unstructured travel demand such as car pooling, HOB lanes and strategies to manage travel without having to build more roads or provide more transit services. Mr. Armeno stated that the MOE and consultants are fully committed to working with all stakeholders. Carlos Salazar, Manager of Community Planning & Design, Municipality of Clarington appeared before the Committee along with Andrea Gabor, Urban Strategies, Ron Albright, TSH, and Jeff Climans, The Climans Group concerning the Science and Technology Park in Clarington. Carlos provided a brief history of the development of this area and described the two projects; being the Technology Park and the Energy Park, and highlighted their geographic boundaries. This area will enable Clarington to cluster these types of industries. Andrea reported on the project phases and stated that currently they are in Phase 4. They are developing the physical context which will develop into a secondary plan for the ultimate development of a prestige park. This park has the potential to diversify Clarington's employment base and has significant implications for putting Clarington on map for employment from a technological point of view. The vision for the park includes capacity for 50 buildings. Holburn is already developed there and creates a anchor for this development. Ron Albright discussed the servicing of the park including sewers, water, storm water and transportation. All existing road infrastructure will have to be upgraded. Jeff Climans believes that the project is significant and should be a regional landmark. A detailed market analysis was conducted and concluded that less than 10% of available lands within Durham Region is of the same caliber which makes this site distinguishable. He encouraged the Municipality to recognize the asset we have and to protect it and plan for it through Master Plan, create a buffer and to maintain the proposed scale of the park. - 2 - General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes January 22, 2007 Isabel Little, Planner, Municipality of Clarington provided the Committee with a presentation regarding the who, what, why and how on Community Improvement Plans, and most specifically the proposed Newcastle Village Community Improvement Plan. Community Improvement Plans (CIP) have been previously approved for Bowmanville and Orono. Isabel showed before and after pictures of improvements achieved in Orono and Bowmanville. She highlighted the proposed Terms of Reference for Community Focus Group and stated that Veridian has agreed to participate on the Group. As in past practice, ads will be placed in the local newspapers seeking volunteers to sit on the Community Focus Group. At the conclusion of the Study, which is expected to run for one year, recommendations will be presented to Council for approval and then ultimately forwarded to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for approval. DELEGATIONS Valentine Lovekin appeared before the Committee with respect to Report PSD-011-07. As the acting Chair of the Newcastle BIA, Mr. Lovekin stated that BIA Council fully supports the Newcastle Village Community Improvement Plan and encourages it's success. Mr. Lovekin stated that BIA members serve enthusiastically and thanked the municipality for embracing this initiative. Councillor Novak chaired this portion of this meeting. PUBLIC MEETING (a) Subject: Applicant: Report: Application to Amend the Zoning By-law 84-63 Gerr Holdings Limited PSD-008-07 Richard Holy, Senior Planner, Planning Services, provided a verbal report supported by a PowerPoint presentation pertaining to Report PSD-008-07. Robert Banik, CAW Legal Services, appeared before Committee on behalf of Doug Hoogeboom and family. Mr. Banik stated the Hoogeboom family have been local property owners, just north of the subject property since 1989. Mr. Banik stated that during the initial stages of area development, the property was used to store construction equipment but once development was complete, Cowan Pontiac Buick started using the property as a parking lot where it has remained for this use. Mr. Banik stated his client opposes this application because dust generated by traffic in the gravel parking lot, car headlights shining directly into his client's home, constant vehicular traffic causing excessive noise, inappropriate use of the property for public parking, refuse from Cowan Pontiac Buick blowing into his client's backyard, the three-year timeframe associated to the amendment and the uncertainty of the future development of the lot. Mr. Banik stated his client sent Gerr Holdings a letter, voicing their concerns, and was advised by Gerr Holdings that this use would only be temporary. Mr. Banik stated his client complained to Cowan Pontiac Buick who advised they would look into - 3 - General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes January 22, 2007 the situation and to date, there has been no recommendation on how to address the Issues. Joe Gerrits, President, Gerr Holdings Limited appeared before Committee and stated the property has been used for parking in the past. He also advised that the property development proposal application, which was submitted to the Municipality in 2000, was deemed not feasible, and thus has been put on hold. In the interim, Gerr Holdings Limited was approached by Cowan Pontiac Buick to use the property on a temporary basis as a parking lot, while undergoing expansion of their existing facility. Mr. Gerrits stated he received a letter from Doug Hoogeboom's solicitor recently, but had been away until just recently, and therefore had not had an opportunity to respond. Mr. Gerrits stated the use of the property is similar to what it has been used in the last number of years and he does not anticipate this changing. Mr. Cowan appeared before Committee and stated that employees of Cowan Pontiac Buick only use the parking lot between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday and there is no movement or activity from the parking lot during the day. He reported there are no more than 30 vehicles parked in the lot at one time. Mr. Cowan advised that the lot is not secure enough for use as an overflow parking area for new vehicles which could potentially free up space in the main parking lot for employee parking. No one spoke in support of Report PSD-008-07. (b) Subject: Applicant: Report: Application to Amend the Zoning By-law 84-63 Hope Fellowship Christian Reformed Church PSD-009-07 Carlo Pellarin, Manager of Development Review, Planning Services, provided a verbal report supported by a PowerPoint presentation pertaining to Report PSD-009-07. Frank Feldman, Cedardale Realty Holdings, appeared before Committee and stated they are the owners of the property west of the subject property. Mr. Feldman stated that the zoning is designated for industrial uses and not for a place of worship. Mr. Feldman explained that expanding the church would more than triple the size of the existing building resulting in bringing the structure closer to the Cedardale property. Mr. Feldman stated they do not support the application as currently proposed. He believes this zoning amendment would impede future industrial use development of the Cedardale property and asked that the application be referred back to staff for further consideration. No one spoke in support of Report PSD-009-07. - 4 - General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes January 22, 2007 John DeWilde, Hope Fellowship Christian Reformed Church appeared before the Committee and stated they would like to work with Cedardale Realty Holdings but also stressed they do not want to lose any momentum and are hopeful the process will continue to move forward.
