This would require a noise attenuation fence to be built along the arterial road, or rear lot line (Meadowglade Road in this case) to meet the Ministry of Environment (MOE) Guidelines for noise in the outdoor amenity area of the property. These are referred to as "reverse frontage" lots. Over the past decade, there has been a trend to avoid the use of extensive noise fences wherever possible, primarily through the provision of "window" streets adjacent to the arterial road. The section of Beckett Crescent along Bloor Street has been designed as a window street (See Attachment 1). In the case of the townhouse blocks along the Meadowglade section of Beckett Crescent, the design intent was to try to eliminate the need for a noise fence and provide for an aesthetically-pleasing streetscape by: • Moving the houses closer to the arterial road and providing a larger area for an outdoor amenity space on the Beckett Crescent side of the lot. • Dressing up the design of the 'Year" door on Meadowglade to appear and be defined as a front door to the home. 602 REPORT NO.: PSD-042-07 PAGE 3 This is the design solution that was used along the Townline Road frontage south of Bloor Street and on Sprucewood Crescent in Bowmanville for the condominium blocks. However, it works best in a rear lane situation or a condominium situation. After a number of attempts to arrive at a suitable design for the houses, staff and the owner have determined to revert to the traditional arrangement with the noise fence along Meadowglade Road. The subject application is necessary since the zoning by-law defined the Meadowglade Road frontage of the lot as the "front yard" so that the "rear yard" amenity area facing Beckett Crescent would meet MOE guidelines. The change in the defined "front yard" proposed through this zoning application is simply to allow the reverse frontage design to proceed. There is no change to vehicular access; it was always to occur from Beckett Crescent. 2.2 The applicant submitted a Noise Impact Study to address the concerns regarding noise exposure from Meadowglade Road and Bloor Street. The study concluded that noise fencing will be required along the side and rear property lines, abutting Bloor Street and Meadowglade Road respectively, to reduce the noise levels in the rear yard of the proposed lots. 3.0 LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 3.1 The subject property and area subject to rezoning measures 0.31 acres (3,080 m2) and is currently vacant. 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: North - Residential (single detached) South - Residential East - Vacant land draft approved for a Public Secondary school West - Residential (single detached and townhouse units) 4.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement Policies for Settlement Areas dictate that land use patterns are to be based on densities that efficiently use land and the infrastructure and services that are available. This application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. 4.2 Provincial Growth Plan This application acknowledges the province's initiative to provide a greater variety of housing types to meet the needs of people at all stages of life. This application conforms. 603 REPORT NO.: PSD-042-07 PAGE 4 5.0 OFFICIAL PLANS 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the subject lands as Living Area. This designation provides that each community shall be developed to incorporate the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenures. The subject proposal for twelve (12) townhouse units conforms. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands as Medium Density Residential within the Courtice Urban Area. The intent of this designation is to provide a variety of housing densities and forms to ensure that each neighbourhood achieves a desirable housing mix. Townhouses are included within the predominant housing forms envisioned for Medium Density Residential areas. The proposed use conforms to the Clarington Official Plan. Bloor Street is classified as a Type 'A' Arterial Road. Type 'A' arterial roads are designed to efficiently move large volumes of traffic at moderate to high speeds over relatively long distances. Meadowglade Avenue is a Type C Arterial, which are designed to move lower volumes of traffic at slower speeds over relatively short distances. The Municipality requires that arterial roads provide for continuous movement and therefore private access is limited. 6.0 ZONING BY-LAW 6.1 Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended, zones the subject lands Urban Residential Exception (R3-17) Zone. The current zone defines the frontage for the townhouse units to be on Meadowglade Road with vehicular access from Beckett Crescent, whereas the subject application proposes the townhouse units with a Beckett Crescent frontage and access (reverse frontage lots). The proposed use does not conform to the provisions of this zone and therefore this rezoning application is required. 7.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 7.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject lands and a public notice sign was installed on each of the Bloor Street, Meadowglade Road and Beckett Crescent frontages. 7.2 The Planning Services Department has received two inquiries as of the drafting of this report. The caller was concerned with the increased on-street parking as a result of the proposed rezoning. The caller believes Beckett Crescent is a narrow street and there are a number of children living on the street. Lastly, the rezoning was viewed to depreciate the value of the caller's home. 604 REPORT NO.: PSD-042-07 PAGE 5 8.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 8.1 The rezoning application and notice of public meeting was circulated to various agencies and other departments by the Planning Services Department. Comments received to date are as follows: • Clarington Building Department and Clarington Emergency and Fire Services indicated that they do not have any concerns with the subject application; • Clarington Operations provided comments pertaining to the proposed noise wall, requesting that the proposed shrubbery along the wall be eliminated, as there is not enough space for growth or maintenance. Alternatively, the alignment of the wall should include four strategically located jogs onto private property complete with appropriate plantings. The fence and planting shall be maintained by the property owners; • Clarington Engineering reviewed the application and has no objection to the proposed zoning change. However, they have requested that the engineering drawings must be amended to include the noise attenuation fence that is required. Also, the plantings adjacent to the sidewalk on Meadowglade Road will not be permitted; and • Durham Regional Planning indicated that the proposal is permitted by the policies of the Regional Official Plan. Services will be available to the subject property from Beckett Drive. They reviewed the Noise Impact Study submitted in support of the application and concluded that the recommendations and calculations appear to meet the requirements of the Region and the Ministry of Environment. 9.0 STAFF COMMENTS 9.1 The policies of the Regional Official Plan and the Clarington Official Plan limit individual private access to arterial roads. The subject blocks are located at the intersection of Bloor Street, a Type 'A' arterial and Meadowglade Road, a Type 'C' arterial. However, rear yards abutting arterial roads typically require noise mitigation that does not provide for an attractive streetscape. As a result, when the development was originally being draft approved these lots were zoned to require the front door of the units to face Meadowglade, yet vehicular access was to be maintained from the local road, Beckett Crescent. 9.2 The owner/builder has met with staff and expressed concern in designing units that would have an attractive streetscape on Beckett Crescent where the vehicular access, garage and rear of the unit is located. As a result, this application has been filed to allow the twelve (12) units originally draft approved facing Meadowglade Road, to front on Beckett Crescent. Access to the units was originally intended to be from Beckett Crescent and therefore the subject application will not have .a significant change on traffic patterns. Beckett Crescent meets the Municipality's standard width for a local road. On-street parking should not pose a problem, as a parking plan was prepared prior to draft approval that accounts for sufficient on-street parking for visitors. 605 REPORT NO.: PSD-042-07 PAGE 6 9.3 A Noise Impact Study was submitted in support of the rezoning application to address noise from Meadowglade Road and Bloor Street. The study found that noise levels for the outdoor amenity space exceed permitted levels and will therefore require mitigation measures in the form of noise fencing along the south side and rear property lines. The proposal includes landscaping along the length of the fencing and architectural features along the fencing itself to further address streetscape issues. The proposed landscaping along the fence will be eliminated and replaced with articulation in the form of inward jogs in the fence which will contain appropriate landscaping maintained on the property. 10.0 CONCLUSION 10.1 Currently, no objections have been received as the result of agency circulation. Staff have acknowledged the concern expressed as a result of public notice pertaining to increased traffic, on-street parking and safety. Although the units were originally draft approved to front onto Meadowglade Road, vehicular access was always proposed to be from Beckett Crescent. Secondly, the landscaping and architectural detail along the noise attenuation fencing will need to be modified to satisfy the requirements of the Municipality. Staff recommend that the application to rezone the subject lands be .referred back to staff for further processing.

To: 187 lots for 187 single detached units on 9.0, 11.0, 12.0 and 15.0 metre frontages. 1.4 Proposed Rezoning: From: "Holding-Urban Residential Type (R1) Zone " and ' Holding Urban Residential Type (R2) Zone" To: an appropriate zone to permit the proposed amendment to the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision and to permit reductions in exterior and interior side yards, front yard setback, sight triangle requirements and allow an increase in lot coverage. 1.5 Area: 13.7 hectares 1.6 Location: The subject property is located east of Scugog Street and north of Goodwin Avenue being in Part Lot 12, Concession 2, in the Former Town of Bowmanville (see Attachment 1 ). 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 On February 28, 2007, Intracorp Developments Limited submitted applications to amend Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 18T-87087 and Zoning By-law 84-63. Intracorp Developments is currently developing the lands to the east known as Liberty Crossing. The application for amendment to draft approval is requesting changes to the lotting fabric to lots with various frontages to accommodate only single detached dwellings. The total number of units is reduced by 8. There are no changes to the road pattern, walkway or the school block. The park block was transferred to the Municipality of Clarington in July 1996. 2.2 In addition to the change in lotting fabric, the amendment to the zoning by-law requests reduced exterior and interior side yard setbacks and front yard setbacks, reduced sight triangles and increased lot coverage to allow the built form to be consistent with Intracorp's development abutting to the east. 609 REPORT NO.: PSD-043-07 PAGE 3 2.3 The Region of Durham originally issued Draft Approval for Plan of Subdivision 18T- 87087 in February 1990. It was subsequently amended in April 1996 and in July 2000. The Draft Approved Plan originally contained 468 units, including a medium density block, a commercial block, public elementary school block and park block. The majority of Draft Plan has been registered as 40M-1852, 40M-1910 and 40M-2020 totalling 260 residential units as shown on Attachment 2. 3.0 LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 3.1 The subject lands are relatively flat and have been graded and serviced to accommodate this development. 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: North - Draft approved residential, plan of subdivision South - Residential East - Residential and St. Elizabeth Separate Elementary School West - Scugog Street and beyond, residential and a separate Secondary School 4.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement The Provincial Policy Statement require planning authorities to provide for a range of housing types and densities with a ten year supply of land which are designated and a three year supply of zoned and serviced lands within the draft approved and registered plans. Land and unit supply is to be based on, and reflect population and unit allocations which are identified within Municipal plans. New housing is to be directed to locations where infrastructure and public services are available. The applications are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement as they are accessible to existing services and relatively close to transit. 4.2 Provincial Growth Plan The Provincial Growth Plan requires growth to be directed to built-up areas that are transit supportive and where infrastructure is available. These lands were draft approved in 1990 for residential development. Transit is available on both Longworth Avenue and Scugog Street. The applications conform to the policies laid out in the Provincial Growth Plan. 610 REPORT NO.: PSD-043-07 PAGE 4 5.0 OFFICIAL PLANS 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the subject lands as Living Area. This designation is to be predominantly used for housing purposes and to provide a safe, attractive and efficient living environment. The proposed development is permitted. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan The subject lands are designated as Urban Residential subject to a public elementary school symbol in the Clarington Official Plan and are within the Bowmanville Urban Area. The lands are also within the Knox Neigbourhood with a population allocation of 5400 and housing target of 1900 units. The proposed use provides a marginal reduction in units and conforms to the Clarington Official Plan. 6.0 ZONING BY-LAW 6.1 Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended, zones the subject lands "Holding-Urban Residential Type One ((H) R1) and "Holding —Urban Residential Type Two ((H) R2)". The proposed amendments to the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision dictate the need for the rezoning of the lands. The applicant has requested the same zoning provisions that apply to the Liberty Crossings development for these lands. 7.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 7.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject lands and public notice signs were installed along the Scugog Street frontage and along the eastern property boundary, aligned with the proposed Bons Avenue extension. 7.2 At the time of writing this report, one individual requested clarification on the application and to be on the interested parties list. 8.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 8.1 The subject applications were circulated to various agencies and other departments by Planning Services. Rogers, Bell Canada and Clarington Operations has offered no objection to the proposed applications. Clarington Engineering Services has reviewed the proposal and although they have no objection in principle with the applications, they require further examination of the reduced yard requirements. 611 REPORT NO.: PSD-043-07 PAGE 5 Comments remain outstanding from a number of departments and agencies including: • Clarington Building • Clarington Emergency Services • Durham Region Planning • Enbridge Gas • School Boards • Canada Post Corporation 9.0 STAFF COMMENTS 9.1 Municipal water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer have been extended to the property edge of the subject lands with registration of surrounding lands. As such, the road widths, street pattern and the location of the school block and walkway will remain unchanged. 9.2 The applicant is proposing to extend the urban design vision for Liberty Crossing developments from Liberty Street to Scugog Street. The changes in lot sizes, reductions in the front yard, exterior and interior side yard setbacks, increased lot coverage and reductions in the sight triangles are being requested to accommodate this goal. Through the deliberation of the Liberty Crossing development, both Planning and Engineering Staff undertook a detailed examination of various communities with similar housing form and streetscapes. This resulted in site specific amendment to By-law 84- 63, which was approved by Council in April 2005 for the Liberty Crossing subdivision. Lot sizes The proposed amendment to the existing Draft Approved Plan of. Subdivision would. permit the development of only single detached dwellings. The applicant has requested single detached dwelling lots with a minimum of 9.0 metre, 11.0 metre, 12.0 metre and 15.0 metre frontages. The minimum 9.0 metres single detached dwelling will have a similar housing form to the 18.0 metre semi-detached/link lots. The proponent has increased frontages to 11.0 metres on the inside corner lots on Honeyman Drive. The 9.0, 11.0, 12.0 and 15.0 metre frontages provide a variety of housing types. Interior Side Yard The interior side yard setbacks are being requested for the 9.0 metre lots, to allow 0.6 metres on one side; 1.2 metres would remain on the other side. This is similar to a typical link lot which was otherwise approved for these lots. Front and Exterior Side Yard Reductions . The applicant is requesting reduced front yards and exterior side yards to allow for homes with larger porches and balconies. This will allow for the home to be designed with a large, useable porch/balcony which provides an attractive residential environmental and encourage social interaction. 612 REPORT NO.: PSD-043-07 PAGE 6 Sight Triangle Reduction In By-law 84-63, a minimum 7.5 metre sight triangle is required. In the existing Liberty Crossing development the sight triangle was reduced to 6.75 metres on the basis that the 4.6 metre wide driveway could be maintained if the site triangle was reduced. A 4.6 metf(t wide driveway can accommodate two parked cars side by side which limits on- street parking. The applicant is requesting the same reduction with the exception of Lot 8 where a further reduction to 6.25 metres is being requested. This will be examined in consultation with Engineering Services through further review of the application. Increased Lot Coverage An increase in lot coverage from 40 to 45 % is being requested for the 9 metre lots. Along with the reduced front and exterior side yard setbacks for all the lots in the plan, this will provide the applicant with the ability to intensify the development by permitting a larger footprint on all lots. An exemption in lot coverage for unenclosed porches and balconies is being requested on the remaining lots. It is proposed that on an interior lot, a porch up to a maximum of 12 square metres in area be permitted. For an exterior lot, porches with a maximum area of 20 square metres are proposed. Architectural Control Guidelines encourage porches on exterior side yards, as they allow for attractive homes on corner lots and improve the overall streetscape. 9.3 Liberty Crossing is marketed as a traditional Old Ontario town with a streetscape theming package. A variety of streetscape features such as lighting, fencing and signage were incorporated into the development. These elements are proposed to be continued through this next phase of development with these revisions. 10.0 CONCLUSION 10.1 The purpose of this report is to provide background information for the Public Meeting required under the Planning Act. Staff respectfully request that this report be referred back to staff for further processing and the preparation of a subsequent report. .

The purpose of the minor variance applications and the Committee's decisions are detailed in Attachment 1. The decisions of the Committee are summarized below. DECISIONS OF COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT FOR APRIL 5, 2007 A2007-0004 Tabling Tabled A2007-0006 Approve with conditions Approved with modified conditions A2007-0007 Tabling Approved with conditions A2007-0008 Approve with conditions Approved with conditions A2007-0009 Approve with conditions Approved with modified conditions 1.2 Application A2007-0006 was filed to permit the construction of a detached garage by reducing the minimum required front yard setback from 6 metres to 3 metres. Staff recommended approval of this variance on the condition that the owner apply for and receive approval from the Clarington Engineering Services Department to relocate the driveway entrance to Durham Street and that the existing Duke Street entrance be closed. Some Committee members felt that this condition was too restrictive by requiring Engineering Services to "approve" the new driveway location. However, regardless of the Committee's opinion, Engineering Services is the approval authority for all entrances. The resulting change to the conditions will not impact the overall outcome of the approved variance. 1.3 Application A2007-0007 was filed to permit an increase in lot coverage by two existing accessory buildings from 40% to 63% of the main building floor area and to reduce the required interior side yard and rear yard setbacks for the north accessory building from 1.2 metres to 0.8 metres and to reduce the required rear yard setback for the south accessory building from 1.2 metres to 0.8 metres. All agency comments received regarding this variance were favourable save and except for the Durham Regional Health Department who withheld their approval pending the review of a site plan showing the addition to the building and sewage system, as well as the well locations. As a result, Staff recommended that the application be tabled until 617 REPORT NO.: PSD-044-07 PAGE 3 the next meeting of the Committee (scheduled for April 19, 2007) so that the Health Department could review complete drawings indicating the location of the existing well and septic system for review and approval. Since all other factors favoured approval of this variance the Committee decided to approve the variance, in principal, on the condition that approval from the Durham Regional Health Department be received following a review of the aforementioned site plan. In their decision, the Committee explained that it was their intention to remove the necessity for the applicant to come before the Committee a second time. Though procedurally Staff would have preferred to have proceeded with review of this variance through tabling the application and bringing it back onto the Committee's next agenda, the resulting decision is still contingent upon approval from the Durham Regional Health Department. Therefore, it is Staff's opinion that an appeal of this decision is unwarranted. 1.4 Application A2007-0009 was filed to permit the construction of an addition to an existing single detached dwelling by reducing the minimum required southerly interior side yard setback from 1.2 metres to 0.83 metres. The addition was to include an extension of the existing garage on the ground floor and an extension to living space (bathrooms and closets) on the second floor. A site inspection of the property revealed a mature hedge, ranging in height from 1.5 metres to 2.1 metres, running along the southerly property line, from the front lot line to the rear building line of the house. A sight triangle 3.0 metres X 3.0 metres is required where the driveway intersects with the streetline. The hedge does not allow for this requirement to be achieved. The site inspection also revealed a garden shed behind the house with a 0 metre setback to the southerly interior lot line. The required interior side yard setback for this accessory building is 1.2 metres. Staff made both the sight triangle abutting the hedge and the setback of the garden shed conditions of approval for this application. During the course of the meeting it was revealed that the hedge that impedes the sight triangle of the front street line belonged to the neighbour and could therefore not be made a condition of approval for this variance. As a result, the Committee approved the variance, as recommended by Staff, but eliminated the condition dealing with the sight triangle. Planning Staff have referred this matter to By-law Enforcement as it appears the driveway is in its original configuration and the hedge was planted afterwards. 2.0 COMMENTS 2.1 Staff has reviewed the Committee's decisions and are satisfied that applications A2007- 0004, A2007-0006 through A2007-0009 inclusive, are in conformity with both Official Plan policies, consistent with the intent of the Zoning By-law, are minor in nature and desirable. 618 REPORT NO.: PSD-044-07 PAGE 4 2.2 Council's concurrence with the decisions of the Committee of Adjustment for applications A2007-0004, A2007-0006 through A2007-0009 inclusive, 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.

Director of Engineering Services JW*DJC*sn*df April 18, 2007 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T(905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 625 REPORT NO.: PSD-045-07 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 The Bowmanville West Town Centre emerged during the early 1990's and will grow rapidly over the next few years with commercial, mixed-use and residential deve)opments. The existing streetscape (decorative light standards, unit pavers in medians) of the Bowmanville West Town Centre area originated from the recommendations of the "Functional Engineering and Streetscape Implementation Plan, Bowmanville West Main Central Area" prepared in 1994 by Totten Sims Hubicki Associates (TSH). This plan was mainly limited to the commercial development area which was previously called the "Bowmanville West Main Central Area" demarcated by Green Road from the west, CPR property boundary from the south and east, and Stevens Road and Bowmanville Creek from the north and east. 1.2 Since that time in 1994, the areas adjacent to the Bowmanville West Main Central Area have undergone significant change with high-density residential developments such as the Aspen Springs condominiums and the proposed Brookhill Neighborhood to the North. In addition the proposed high density residential developments such as the Dunbury condominium development at Highway 2 and Green Road and the Kaitlin residential apartments north of railway lines are also located within the West Town Centre. 1.3 The Commercial Policy Review concluded with the adoption of Amendments 43 and 44 to the Clarington Official Plan by Council on March 1, 2006. The latter implemented major changes to the Secondary Plan for the Bowmanville West Town Centre. All of the appeals of OPA 44 have been resolved. 1.4 As part of the Commercial Policy Review, in March 2006, Council approved major commercial developments anchored by Home Depot and Wal-Mart stores. These projects together with the existing development will consist of approximately one million square feet of gross leasable retail and service floor area. 1.5 Through The Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plan, Council adopted as one of the Goals of the Plan "to ensure high quality of architecture and urban design in all - phases of development in order to create a unique sense of place and foster social interaction in the West Town Centre". 1.6 In addition to expanding the Bowmanville West Town Centre, one of the key changes in the Secondary Plan has been the treatment of Highway 2. Previously, Clarington Boulevard was the major pedestrian street and Highway 2 (then under the jurisdiction of MTO) was secondary as a pedestrian environment. With the expansion of the Bowmanville West Town Centre and the changing approach to arterial roads in urban areas (as evidenced by the Region of Durham Arterial Road Design Guidelines), a major change in design approach is that Highway 2 is to become more of a pedestrian- oriented environment, not simply a conduit for motor vehicles. 626 REPORT NO.: PSD-045-07 PAGE 3 1.7 The Secondary Plan provides clear direction to promote and enhance the function of King Street/Highway 2 as the main street of the Bowmanville West Town Centre. This area will also be a major gateway to the Bowmanville Community within a pedestrian oriented street system. 1.8 In this context, due to the recent expansion of the Bowmanville West Town Centre area with the upcoming commercial, residential.and office developments, there was a need to update the previous "Functional Engineering and Streetscape Implementation Plan" prepared in 1994 to reflect the goal of Council and the adopted urban design polices as developed through the Commercial Policy Review. The Municipality retained Brook Mcllroy Ltd to prepare the Bowmanville West Streetscape Implementation Plan. 2.0 THE STREETSCAPE IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT 2.1 The Study Area Based on the proposed development projects in the West Town Centre area, the Streetscape Implementation Plan area was delineated as illustrated in the following map: 3.

Bowmanville West Town Centre Streetscape Implementation Project Area Figure 1: Bowmanville West Town Centre Streetscape Implementation Plan Area 627 REPORT NO.: PSD-045-07 PAGE 4 2.2 Current Issues The BWTC area is currently more suburban in character and does not reflect the character of an urban town centre. This is mainly the result of the lack of defined streetscape elements and of a particular style of building or streetscape design. Althpugh there are a number of developments proposed or underway in the area, generally the buildings themselves will not adequately define a street wall. An enhanced streetscape will help to address the following areas of issues and opportunities: • Lack of identity for Bowmanville West Town Centre area. • Lack of streetscape design unity and consistency. • Automobile-dominated streetscape with fast moving traffic. • Lack of traffic calming measures. • Unfriendly environment for pedestrians with less facilities and opportunities for pedestrian activities, particularly along Highway 2. • Lack of facilities for people with disabilities. • Large expanses of underutilized right-of-way areas. • Unattractive street intersections and street corners. • Maintenance issues with the existing street furniture due to inefficient design. 2.3 Aims and Objectives The main objective of the Bowmanville West Town Centre (BWTC) Streetscape Implementation Plan is to promote a long-term, coordinated program of public and private investment within a pedestrian environment that will enhance the area's role as the focus of community activity. This Streetscape Implementation Plan provides standards and direction for improvements to the public right-of-way that would enhance the identity of the West Town Centre area. To achieve the following objectives: • To create a more pedestrian-friendly area through streetscape improvements and provision of pedestrian amenities; • To create a unique identity for the Town Centre that expresses the existing character of the area; • To identify area gateways/entry points and prominent locations for public art and other special treatments; • To develop a common language of materials, plantings and street furniture that will contribute to a unified vision and create a recognizable place; • To encourage high-quality development by investing in the public realm/open space and improving the quality of design; and • To promote retail activity by creating a beautiful and functional streetscape that allows users to easily move between sites. 628 REPORT NO.: PSD-045-07 PAGE 5 2.4 Workshops 2.4.1 Two major workshops were conducted by Brook Mcllroy Inc. and Municipal Staff. The first workshop was a full day session held on January 18, 2007 at the Municipality. .Regional and Municipal Departments, Hydro One, and the development proponents participated. The developers included The Kaitlin Group, Dunbury Developments, Metrus Developments Inc. and Halloway Holdings Ltd. 2.4.2 The second workshop was held on February 8t", 2007and was mainly organised to review the recommendations of the first workshop and to obtain input from the Municipal and Regional Departments on the draft conceptual plan. 3. 0 SUMMARY OF STREETSCAPE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 3.1 The Bowmanville West Town Centre should be developed as a vital and attractive town centre which is supported with a variety of transportation modes such as public transit, driving, cycling and walking. The BWTC Streetscape Implementation Plan should define the character and quality of the public realm which includes continuous sidewalks, places to socialize, pedestrian friendly intersections, enhanced landscaping, transit stops and street furnishings. Contemporary and consistent design should reinforce a strong pedestrian realm through application of guidelines to landscaping, walkways, street lighting, public art, street furniture, landscape buffers, transit shelters/structures, signage and other infrastructure. The Site Plan should promote a long term coordinated program of public and private investment in the pedestrian environment that will enhance the area as the focus of community activity. 3.2 The Streetscape Implementation Plan covers the following elements: • Streetscape Concepts for primary, secondary and private streets; • Streetscape Elements providing guidelines for street trees and landscaping, gateways and special treatment areas, intersection and corner treatments, crosswalks, light standards, parking lot buffers, sidewalk paving materials, public art and street furniture; • Implementation outlining priorities, options for Highway 2 and order of magnitude costing. 3.3 Streetscape Concept for Maior Streets The transition of Highway 2 to an urban streetscape will require significant improvements. The recommended design for Highway 2 will: 629 REPORT NO.: PSD-04"7 PAGE 6 • Tie the area together through common streetscape elements (e.g. paving, lighting, landscaping) and the creation of pedestrian crosswalks; • Provide well-placed pedestrian amenities that include seating, transit shelters, bicycle racks and waste receptacles; • Provide areas to showcase public art, banners, special treatment areas and ,intensive landscaping; • Define the pedestrian-scale of the street through its design; and • Provide areas for sifting and open spaces at major intersections (i.e. Highway 2 and Clarington Boulevard) and along the streets. The illustration of current and future conditions is shown below. 3 �r W r,+7P Figure 2: Existing view of Highway 2—looking from west Figure 3: Proposed streetscape visualization of Highway 2—looking from West 630 REPORT NO.: PSD-045-07 PAGE 7 Clarington Boulevard and Green Road are the major north-south connector streets that will: • Bring people to the commercial centre from surrounding residential neighbourhoods; • Enhance pedestrian access through the creation of continuous sidewalks and enhanced landscaping; • Provide pedestrian amenities that include seating, transit shelters, waste receptacles, etc.; and • Create a transition from the surrounding communities by providing for different conditions; 3.4 The Streetscape Implementation Plan contains components that will be implemented over the short term, medium term and long term. For example, the streetscape sections will be built, in part, in connection with the West Bowmanville commercial development. Staff reviewed which elements are the most important and need to be included in the reconstruction of Highway 2 and Green Road and in the construction of Stevens Road and Boswell Drive. Elements such as the boulevard pavers would be constructed over the longer term with further urbanization. For the shorter term, sodded boulevards would be the norm with street trees, seating areas and planters. In addition to the decorative light standards. one of the critical elements in the short term is the provision for raised medians along Highway 2. The raised medians would help to establish the special character of the area and serve as a traffic calming element. Other components identified as special treatment areas would only be considered as part of a community project by groups such as public art, memorials, and special landscape areas. , I. n , t y k r'A , Figure 5: Proposed Median Figure 4: Highway 2—existing median design concept 631 REPORT NO.: PSD-045-07 PAGE 8 4.0 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 4.1 Together with the Bowmanville East Town Centre, this area serves as the focal point of Clarington containing the primary commercial, institutional and in the future higher density residential areas. In this regard, the streetscape elements are critical components to defining the public realm. It is recognized that there is a cost to this for both'capital and operational requirements. 4.2 A number of the components of the Streetscape Implementation Plan are covered under the Municipality's Development Charges projects, the Principles of Understanding with Halloway Holdings Ltd. and Metrus Developments (West Diamond Properties Inc./Players Business Park Ltd.), and obligations of the development proponents through the reconstruction of Highway 2 under Regional Servicing Agreements. Staff is also seeking some additional contribution from the development proponents for the Highway 2 improvements. 4.3 A number of the streetscape projects are included in works already budgeted for 2007 or forecast for 2008 in conjunction with the work to be undertaken for the Halloway and Metrus. 4.4 Additional projects will be brought forward for Council's consideration by separate report or through the normal budget process. 5.0 CONCLUSION The Bowmanville West Town Centre Streetscape Implementation Plan will serve as a guide for future actions to create a special identity and sense of place for this key area of the Municipality.

A map of the study area is enclosed and marked Attachment 1. 1.2 The Science and Technology Business Park is a municipal initiative aimed at attracting industries in the biotechnology and life sciences sectors to establish a significant employment cluster. Another objective of the planning process is to create a prestige industrial area of exceptional quality and character, designed to attract pharmaceutical, biotechnology and science related businesses, and prestige office uses. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 After an extensive site search in local municipalities, with the assistance of staff, Holburn Biomedical bought 50 acres of land west of Bennett Road and rezoned a portion of it to facilitate the construction of the first research building. 2.2 Recognizing the potential of Holburn Biomedical, Council authorized staff to retain Urban Strategies Inc. to prepare a planning and urban design study. Totten Sims Hubicki Ltd. (TSH) was retained to complete the servicing component of the study which included the preparation of the Bennett Creek Master Drainage Plan. 2.3 The initial first phase of these studies culminated in back-to-back meetings with major land owners within the study area and an Open House at which Urban Strategies and TSH presented the background work that have been completed to date. The input from the land owners and public provided staff and the consultants with a good understanding of the dynamics and challenges associated with this initiative and it simultaneously fed into the next phases of the project. 2.4 ' At that time there were quite a number of planning and development initiatives underway, that would and are still impacting and shaping this initiative, such as the Regional Employment Lands Study, the Commercial Policy Review, the Bennett Creek Master Drainage Plan and the AYT application for large-format retail commercial uses. 2.5 Staff subsequently expanded the scope of the initial planning and urban design study by: • including the existing industrial area between Haines Street and Soper Creek into the Study Area; and • A more detailed planning analysis of potential uses and an employment lands market analysis for the Study Area. 634 REPORT NO.: PSD-046-07 PAGE 3 2.6 The study area was expanded to include the existing industrial area between Haines Street and Soper Creek, mainly due to its proximity to the initial study area and the potential to create a regional Community Improvement Plan to upgrade and improve infrastructure. In addition, as the Science and Technology Park develops, this area may evolve to complement the technology focus of the project. 2.7 On Anuary 22, 2007 staff and the consultants Urban Strategies, TSH and the Climans Group provided Council with an update on the project. It was explained that with the resolution of Council's position on the AYT application, the next steps in the project were the completion of the Draft Planning Rationale Report, the preparation of a Draft Secondary Plan, an implementing zoning by-law, and a future Public Open House. 2.8 The next Public Open House is set for April 30, 2007 at the Beach Centre in Bowmanville at 7:00 p.m. at which an update on the background studies, the core components of the Planning Rationale Report and the Draft Secondary Plan will be presented for discussion and input. A copy of the report will be distributed to members of Council when it is finalized. 2.9 A critical component of the planning exercise is the Bennett Creek Master Drainage Plan (MDP). The key findings and recommendations of the Draft MDP have been incorporated in the planning framework. The MDP should be finalized before the summer. 2.10 The finalization of the Secondary Plan Official Plan amendment, and zoning by-law is set for completion in the fall of 2007, and will form the final step in providing a solid planning framework for the realization of the Science and Technology Park. 3.0 CONCLUSION 3.1 The above report provided the background as to the phases that have been completed thus far, of current activities as well as an explanation of what still needs to be done to complete the establishment of a planning framework and implementation strategy for the development of a Science and Technology Park.

It has 205 feet of frontage on Potters Lane and a total lot area of 1.48 acres. There is a one foot reserve along Regional Road 3 limiting access to the lot from Potters Lane. The lot was acquired in 1987 as a condition of approval of the plan of subdivision. The intent of the acquisition was to develop the property as a parkette for the residents of Enniskillen. In 2003 the Engineering Services Department determined that the topography of the site and its limited size made it undesirable as parkland. Subsequently, Council declared the property as surplus in 2003. 2.2 The subject property is subject to two zoning by-laws: i) By-law 84-63 covers the entire property and zones the property Residential Hamlet(RH). The RH zone allows a single detached dwelling. ii) By-law 2005-109 covers the majority of the lot with the exception of the southeast corner. Those lands are zoned Rural Settlement One (RS-1) with an Environmental Holding Symbol (Attachment 2).. Both Zoning By-laws are in force at the present time since the Ministry of Municipal Affairs has not yet approved the Oak Ridges Moraine Zoning By-law 2005-109. When the Ministry gives approval to By-law 2005-109 the zoning provision of Zoning By-law 84-63 would be repealed. However, until that time both zoning by-laws apply to this property. 639 REPORT NO.: PSD-047-07 PAGE 3 2.3 The majority of the property falls within the boundaries of the Oak Ridges Moraine. This portion of the lot is covered by Zoning By-law 2005-109 and is zoned Rural Settlement One (RS-1) with an Environmental Holding Symbol. The RS-1 zone permits a single detached dwelling unit and limited accessory uses. The Environmental Holding Symbol (H) identifies this lot to be within a 90 metre area of influence from a natural heritage feature and/or hydrologically sensitive feature and its associated minimum vegetative protection area. A scoped Environmental Impact Study, or Natural Heritage Assessment, would be required to lift the (H) symbol. 3.0 LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 3.1 The subject property is a vacant parcel of land at the southeast corner of Regional Road 3 and Potters Lane. It has been left in its natural state, as shown in the photographs below. The Natural Heritage Assessment describes the vegetation cover that currently exists. This is discussed in Section 7 of this report. g } View of lot from Regional Road 3 looking south-west 640 REPORT NO.: PSD-047-07 PAGE 4 V r. View from Regional Road 3 looking south 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: North - Agricultural field South - Hamlet Residential Development East - Rural Residential lot with dwelling unit and Bowmanville Creek tributary West - Hamlet Residential Development 4.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement Hamlets are defined as Settlement Areas under the Provincial Policy Statement. Settlement areas are to be the focus of growth, and land use patterns are to efficiently use land and resources. The diversity and connectivity of natural features in an area and the long-term ecological function and biodiversity of natural heritage systems should be maintained. The application conforms with the PPS as it proposes to efficiently use the land by permitting the development of one single detached unit while protecting the natural heritage features. 4.2 Oak Ridoes Moraine Conservation Plan The majority of the property is located within a Rural Settlement designation under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP). Section 17.3 of the Plan states that nothing in the Plan applies to prevent a use or the erection or location of a building or structure within a Rural Settlement if the use, erection and location would have been permitted by the applicable zoning by-law on November 15`h, 2001. 641 REPORT NO.: PSD-047-07 PAGE 5 The Conservation Plan requires proponents to ensure the ecological integrity of the Plan will not be adversely affected by development. The Bowmanville Creek directly to the east of the property is identified as a key natural heritage feature to be protected. The ORMCP provides the criteria for a natural heritage evaluation and states that such evaluation shall demonstrate that the development or site alteration applied for will have no adverse effects on the key natural heritage feature or on the related ecological functions. A natural heritage assessment has been completed for the property. The details of the assessment are described in section 7 of this report. The proposed rezoning is based on the results of the natural heritage assessment and the application conforms with the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. 4.3 The Greenbelt Plan The Greenbelt Plan came into effect on December 16th, 2004. Section 2.1 of the Greenbelt Plan states that lands that are within the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan are to conform to the policies of that Plan. As the application conforms to the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan it also conforms to the Greenbelt Plan. 5.0 OFFICIAL PLANS 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the property as Hamlet. Hamlets are to be the focus for residential settlement within a rural area. The limits of a hamlet and its detailed land uses are to be incorporated within municipal official plans. The application conforms to the Durham Regional Official Plan. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan The Clarington Official Plan designates the property as Hamlet Residential. The predominant use of lands shall be single detached residential dwellings. The adjacent tributary is identified as a key natural heritage feature. The application conforms to the Clarington Official Plan subject to the results of a natural heritage assessment as required by the ORMCP. 6.0 ZONING BY-LAW 6.1 The entire property is zoned Residential Hamlet (RH) under By-law 84-63. The RH zone permits a single detached dwelling unit and limited accessory uses. 6.2 Zoning By-law 2005-109 indicates that the majority of the property is zoned Rural Settlement One (RS-1) with an Environmental Holding Symbol. The RS-1 zone permits a single detached dwelling unit and limited accessory uses. The Environmental Holding Symbol would need to be removed by amendment prior to the development of the lot for residential use. The area outside of the Moraine is zoned Residential Hamlet (RH) under By-law 84-63. 642 REPORT NO.: PSD-047-07 PAGE 6 7.0 NATURAL HERITAGE STUDY 7.1 Central Lake Ontario Conservation has completed a Natural Heritage Assessment of the property. The Assessment identifies three distinct vegetation communities, a cultural meadow, a shallow marsh and a thicket swamp (Attachment 2). The property is apprpximately 6000 m2 (1.48 ac). The cultural meadow covers approximately 2650 m2 of the western portion of the property. A thicket swamp is located on the eastern portion of the lot and is slightly smaller at 2600 M2. A 750 m2 shallow marsh separates the meadow and the swamp. 7.2 A small tributary of the Bowmanville Creek runs parallel to the east property line. The property is at its lowest level toward the eastern extent. This area is the wettest and contains the thicket swamp. The Natural Heritage Assessment states that the wetland features appear to be supported by surface drainage as there is a large culvert under Regional Road 3 that empties into the property as well as roadway gutters/culverts from Potters Lane and Regional Road 3. The shallow marsh is small and supports predominately cattails, and the cultural meadow is vegetated with a mix of native and non- native species. 7.3 The Natural Heritage Assessment concludes that the majority of the thicket swamp is a sensitive and diverse feature that should be retained as it has an indirect relationship with Bowmanville Creek and is a natural area providing wildlife habitat. Every effort should be made to maintain surface drainage to the thicket swamp regardless of future use of the lot. The shallow marsh area adjacent to the swamp is small, disturbed and of little natural heritage value. 7.4 This property is situated entirely within an area that is regulated by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority's Ontario Regulation 42/06 - Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses. The Authority has stated that they will require all future development activity on the lot be directed away from the thicket swamp. 7.5 In order to satisfy CLOC's concern for the protection of the eastern half of the lot, staff are proposing that the area be rezoned from Rural Settlement One (RS-1) with an Environmental Holding symbol under By-law 2005-109, and Residential Hamlet (RH) under By-law 84-63, to Environmental Protection as shown on Attachment 2. An application for zoning amendment has been filed to request the change. 8.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 8.1 Five (5) inquires were received from property owners in the area prior to the Public Meeting on April 10'h, 2007. Two inquiries were for clarification of the purpose of the application. The second inquiry was in regards to the proceeds from the sale of the lot, specifically if the money would be used for projects particular to Enniskillen. It was explained that the funds will be deposited into the Municipal Acquisition Reserve Account to be utilized for land acquisitions throughout Clarington as approved by Council. The third person requested a history of how the Municipality acquired the 643 REPORT NO.: PSD-047-07 PAGE 7 lands and an explanation of why it was declared surplus and stated that it was a staging area for birds. As only half of the property is to be developed there will still be a natural area protected for local wildlife. 8.2 The fourth person expressed a concern that the sale of this block, which had originally be acquired for park purposes, would mean that there would be no parkland provided for the residents of Enniskillen, and that the sale would imply that that subdivision on the north side of Regional Road 3 was guaranteed approval as it contains a proposed park block. Prior to the property being declared surplus in 2003, the Engineering Services Department reviewed the property and determined that the site's location at the corner of a Regional Road and its topography did not make it suitable for a park block. As there was no other public use identified for the site it was declared surplus by Council. This decision was not based on proposed applications in the area. 8.3 No one spoke in objection to the application at the Public Meeting on April 10th. One verbal objection has been received since the meeting from a property owner on Potters Lane. She objected to the property being developed as her children use the lot as a playground. Staff have also received a call from a real estate agent who lives in Enniskillen. He has clients who are interested in purchasing the property. His contact information has been provided to purchasing so that he will be notified when the property is advertised for public tender. 8.4 During the Council meeting of April 16th, 2007,a delegation in opposition to the approval of , application was made by Doug Otterbein, the property owner of the lot imediately to the south of the site. Mr. Otterbein stated that his house was built too low and his run off drains into the Municipality's property. His property did not dry up last year and he was concerned that the development of the lot would negatively affect his lot. Mr. Otterbein's house was built in 1987 in accordance with the approved grading plan for the plan of subdivision's development. A garden shed was constructed in 1990 in the northeast corner of the property. In November of 1996 D.G. Biddle and Associates inspected the finished lot grading and observed that the house elevation was below the grade of the road in front of the house and a wet pond had been constructed in the rear of the lot as a landscape feature. They concluded that the lot has generally been graded according to the intent of the approved Lot Grading Plan. No drainage problems were apparent at the time of inspection and positive drainage away from the house was observed. They did not anticipate any future drainage problems. The grading inspection was completed in order to obtain a Final Occupancy Permit. The report was prompted by Mr. Otterbein's purchase in 1996 and a copy was provided to his lawyer. There were no visible signs of grading issues in 1996 when the property received its final grading approval. It is unknown if the grading has been altered since that date. Mr. Otterbein does have the option of hiring an engineer to determine why there are grading problems on his lot and how they can be corrected. 644 REPORT NO.: PSD-047-07 PAGE 8 Any development that occurs on 97 Potters Lane will have to be in accordance with the approved Lot Grading Plan Drawing No. 74013-D-2 for the original plan of subdivision. All building permits applications will be reviewed to determine their compliance with the Grading Plan. Staff are satisfied that the lot can support a residential use without having a negative impact on the Otterbein. 9.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 9.1 The application has been circulated to the applicable agencies for comment. The Conservation Authority has reviewed the proposed by-law amendment and are satisfied that zoning the eastern portion of the lot to Environmental Protection will protect the natural heritage features. 9.2 The Durham Region Health Department has reviewed the developable area and have confirmed that there is enough land available to accommodate private services and a reserve septic tile bed area. 9.3 The Clarington Emergency and Fire Services Department have confirmed that there are no fire safety concerns. 9.4 The Region of Durham Works Department, the Region of Durham Planning Department, the Clarington Engineering Services Department, Bell Canada and Hydro One had no objections to the application as filed. 10.0 STAFF COMMENTS 10.1 All agency comments have been received and there are no objections to the approval of this application. Neither have there been any objections from the public. 10.2 The Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan introduced a higher standard of environmental protection for natural heritage features within the Moraine. As a result, the small thicket swamp adjacent to the Bowmanville Creek tributary is to be fully protected and enhanced for natural heritage and hydrological purposes through the development process. 10.3 The natural heritage evaluation determined that a portion of the lot can be used for residential purposes and as a result, the "Environmental Holding" is recommended to be lifted by Zoning By-law. Furthermore, the evaluation identified the thicket swamp on part of the property which should be protected. Similarly, a by-law has been drafted to zone this area and appropriate buffer Environmental Protection (EP) Zone. 10.4 Rezoning the eastern portion of the property to Environmental Protection (EP) will prohibit development on this portion of the lot in order to preserve the natural heritage features that have been identified by the Conservation Authority. 645 REPORT NO.: PSD-047-07 PAGE 9 10.5 There will be sufficient land outside of the EP area to support a dwelling unit, accessory structures, and private services. Successful completion of the rezoning will permit the property to be sold by public tender as a hamlet building lot for residential use. 10.6 With regard to the concerns for the acquisition and development of a parkette for Enniskillen, the Engineering Services Department have indicated that, lands will either be acquired from the currently proposed subdivision, or if it is not approved, other suitable lands will be acquired to serve the needs of the residents. 11.0 CONCLUSION 11.1 It is respectfully recommended that the proposed Zoning Amendment application be APPROVED and the attached Zoning By-laws be ADOPTED by Council Attachments: Attachment 1 - Aerial photo Attachment 2 - Natural Heritage Assessment Attachment 3 - Zoning By-law to amend By-law 84-63 Attachment 4 - Zoning By-law to amend By-law 2005-109 List of interested parties to be advised of Council's decision: CLOC Region of Durham Planning Department Paul Shcherbak Steve Carruthers Mary Burke Tami Robitaille Rika Brouwer John Hill Doug Otterbein 646 f ZBA 2007-0006 N 0 � D vo A N O M V � 4 I 1- e ZBA 2007-0006 N 0 � D vo A N O M V � Potters Lane Natural Heritage Assessment Shallow marsh.shp Thicket swamp.shp ® Potters lane.shp Dr_road_network.shp [� Dr_parcel.shp N W E S IN 0.03 0 0.03 0.06 Miles It Z U A 0 v D x 0I s 3 N Attachment 3 To Report PSD-047-07 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON BY-LAW NO.2007- being a By-law to amend By-law 84-63,the Comprehensive Zoning By-law for " the Corporation of the former Town of Newcastle WHEREAS the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington deems it advisable to amend By-law 84-63, as amended, of the former Town of Newcastle in accordance with application ZBA 2007-006 to define the area in which a single detached dwelling can be constructed; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington enacts as follows: t.

The objective of the day was to help create a larger pool of qualified part time candidates and to provide a "one stop shopping" approach for individuals looking for part time employment with the Municipality of Clarington. The Job Opportunity Fair also provided an opportunity to promote the department and the programs and services we provide. 1.2 The Community Services Department is one of the larger part time employers within the community, employing approximately 250 part time personnel each year. We have a responsibility to help develop personal skills and educate our youth on the employment opportunities available to them. The Job Opportunity Fair provided us with the opportunity to gather applications, resumes, answer questions and fast track the Criminal Reference Check (CPIC) and the first aid qualification process. 2.0 EVENT DETAILS 2.1 Doors opened to a large crowd at 9:00 a.m. for sign-in and to provide an opportunity for those in attendance to fill out job applications. Employment opportunity booklets, detailing the positions available within the department were on hand as well as interview and resume tip sheets. A PowerPoint presentation played continuously providing information on the various jobs available as well as showcasing part-time staff at work. 2.2 There was a brief presentation at 9:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. welcoming the participants to I the Job Opportunity Fair, detailing the role they could play within the department and the skills they could acquire by being employed with the Municipality. Following the presentation, participants had an opportunity to visit the various booths representing each portfolio within the department as well as a booth representing Human Resources. Attendees were able to interact directly with the Supervisors and Coordinators regarding the positions that are offered. Participants could submit copies of their resumes, gather details on necessary qualifications and ask any pertinent questions. 2.3 There were over 200 youth in attendance at the Job Opportunity Fair. Staff were able to collect over 300 resumes and applications for a variety of positions within the department. Most importantly, staff had an opportunity to speak directly with potential staff, provide them with guidance in obtaining future employment and showcase the department and what we do within the community. 1002 REPORT NO.: CSD-006-07 PAGE 3 2.4 The Job Opportunity Fair was promoted through several media outlets including the Municipal website, local newspapers, marquees, flyers, posters, school announcements, community centres, Clarington Youth Advisory Board, The Firehouse Youth Centre, John Howard Society, Durham College and UOIT. In addition, information was included on the front cover and Page 2 of the Spring 2007 Community Guide. 3.0 COMMENTS 3.1 Overall staff believe the Job Opportunity Fair was a success and plan to host future similar events. In an effort to continually improve and build upon the successes of this year, future job fairs will be open to other Municipal departments in an effort to promote a greater array of part-time opportunities (i.e. Operations Department and Emergency and Fire Services Department). Staff will also be investigating the possibility of including youth development opportunitieslworkshops on topics such as resume writing, interview preparation and young worker safety. 3.2 This is the first event of its kind to be offered by the Municipality of Clarington. It is the recommendation of staff to hold job opportunity fairs annually that coincide with the Community Services Department's peak hiring season. 1003 Clltl �1 REPO RT Leading the Way CLERK'S DEPARTMENT Meeting: GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE Date: APRIL 23, 2007 Report#: CLD-014-07 File #: By-law #: Subject: SENSITIVITY TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1.

Thg,purposes of the Act are to: 1) provide a right of access to information under the control of institutions in accordance with the principles that, a) information should be made available to the public, b) necessary exemptions from the right of access should be limited and specific, c) decisions on the disclosure of information should be reviewed independently of the institution controlling the information; and 2) protect the privacy of individuals with respect to personal information about themselves held by institutions and to provide individuals with a right of access to that information. Since the legislation was introduced, the Municipality has been complying with the requirements of the Act, however, a formal policy has not been adopted by Council. The attached policy has been prepared to outline the requirements of the Act and to specifically identify the responsibilities of members of Council, the Chief Administrative Officer and Department Heads. It is respectfully recommended that the policy be endorsed by Council.

Purpose: To provide a corporate program for access to information and protection of privacy, particularly on how the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act applies to information in the possession of the Municipality of Clarington. 2. Objective: The objective of this policy is to: 1. Ensure that information is made available to the public and necessary exemptions from the right of access are limited and specific. 2. Identify roles and assign responsibility regarding the use and disclosure of corporate information. 3. Commit to protecting the privacy of individuals with respect to personal information about themselves held by the Municipality and to provide individuals with the right of access to their information. 4. Establish guidelines for processing requests for information within the timeline restrictions imposed by the Act. 5. Communicate offences and liabilities as stated in the Act. Page 1 of 5 —Non-Affiliated and Others—H25 1108 3. Definitions: 1. FOI Co-ordinator—For the purposes of this policy and related procedures, the Municipal Clerk is designated as the FOI Co-ordinator. 2. Head—For the purposes of the Act,the Head is the Mayor. The powers and duties of the Head have been delegated to the FOI Co-ordinator, however,the Head still remains accountable for actions taken and decisions made under the Act. 3. Information and Privacy Commissioner—The Information and Privacy Commissioner is appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. The Commissioner is an officer of the Legislature and is independent of the government. The Commissioner hears appeals of decisions made by Heads of institutions, issues binding orders, conducts privacy investigations, and has certain powers relating to the protection of personal privacy. 4. Record—Any information, however recorded, whether in printed form, on film,by electronic means or otherwise, and includes correspondence, memoranda, books, plans, maps, drawings, diagrams, pictorial or graphic works, photographs, films, microfilms, sound recordings, videotapes,machine-readable records. 5. Request, Formal—A request for access to or copies of a record which is submitted in writing detailing the requested records, is dated and signed by the requester. This type of request should be received only after the informal request has been denied. 6. Request, Informal—A verbal request for access to or copies of a record. May also be referred to as an over-the-counter or routine request. All requests should begin informally and requesters should only formally submit a request as a last resort. 7. Routine Disclosure—The routine or automatic release of certain types of administrative and operational records in response to informal rather than formal requests. 4. Responsibilities: Councillors—General Information Councillors may have a right of access to certain types of information that would not be available to the general public if they require the information in their capacities as members of council in order to carry out duties related to that function. Council members seeking access to information that is not ordinarily available to the public should direct their request to the appropriate department head. The department head,together with the Municipal Clerk, will review the information to ensure that disclosure of information to the councillor is in accordance with legislative requirements. Depending on the nature and type of information requested,the information provided to Councillors may be stamped "CONFIDENTIAL". In these circumstances, the information in question is considered to be confidential and the council member is prohibited from releasing the information in any format,without the express authorization of council. The same is true Page 2 of 5—Non-Affiliated and Others—H25 1109 for information provided to councillors in preparation of closed council or committee meetings. There may be circumstances in which a councillor,who is not acting within his or her official capacity as member of council, requests access to information. The councillor may submit a formal request under the Act. In this case, the councillor has the same status as tiny member of the public when requesting this information, and staff will apply the Act in the normal manner to determine whether access may be granted. Councillors—Personal Information Where a councillor, acting in the capacity of member of council seeks access to personal information of a third parry(e.g., an employee or a constituent), he or she may only obtain the personal information if disclosure is specifically authorized under section 32 of the Act. Examples of authorized disclosure are: 1. With consent of the individual; 2. In compelling circumstance affecting the health or safety of an individual; 3. In compassionate circumstances,to facilitate contact with the next of kin or a friend of an individual who is injured, ill or deceased; or 4. Where disclosure to council as a whole(i.e., in council or committee meetings) or to the individual councillor is required to fulfil a duty as an officer under the Municipal . Act or other legislation. Councillors who have received access to personal information or other confidential information in the performance of their duties have a responsibility to protect this information while it is in their possession. Councillors must,therefore, ensure that the privacy of the individual to whom the information relates is protected at all times,and must keep the information physically secure so as to avoid unauthorized disclosure or destruction. A Councillor's Own Records The provisions of the Act cover records that are in the custody or under the control of the Municipality of Clarington. This includes information created by a third party that has been provided to, or obtained by,the Municipality. Councillors' records are considered personal records that are not subject to the Act where they are not related to the discharge of the councillor's responsibilities as a member of council or to some aspect to council's mandate and they are not in the custody or control of the municipality. There are factors used to determine issues of custody or control. Even records relating to constituency matters may be accessible if a consideration of the factors leads to the conclusion that they are in the custody or control of the institution. Chief Administrative Officer and Department Heads 1. Actively support the FOI policy. 2. Understand the policy and the principles of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Personal Privacy Act. Page 3 of 5—Non-Affiliated and Others—H25 1110 3. Forward formal requests for information which are not common to their usual course of business to the FOI Co-ordinator. 4. Work closely with the FOI Co-ordinator in the processing of the formal requests to ensure compliance within legislated time requirements. FOI Co-ordinator 1 Maintain a thorough knowledge of the FOI Policy and information request procedures. 2. Receive requests and co-ordinate these requests with Department Heads to comply with legislated time requirements. 3. Communicate with requesters to clarify requests, issue notices and respond to enquiries. 4. Communicate with Commissioner's Office to respond to enquiries and seek clarification and direction regarding appeals. 5. Seek legal advice from the Solicitor respecting disclosure decisions, as required. 6. Make decisions relative to record disclosure. 7. Determine or waive fees in accordance with Regulations. S. Conduct FOI training and orientation. 9. Develop and maintain inter-departmental procedures relative to the FOI Policy. 5. Procedures General Every person (including Corporations)has the right to request records under the custody and control of the Municipality. The Municipality is not obligated to create a record in response to.a request and the Municipality has no right to question the purpose of the request. The Act provides that information available to the public before the Act came into force must continue to be available, except personal information. Routine disclosure or usual"over-the- counter" responses to inquires should continue outside the procedures set out. Access Procedure Informal Request—Where possible, requests should be handled through the informal request process. Regardless of where or how a request is submitted, staff shall direct the request to the area of responsibility respecting the requested information. The employee is to dialogue with the requester to discuss the nature of the request and the type of record at issue with a view to determine whether the matter should be handled informally or by means of a formal request under the Act. Typically, if the request is simply for information or for an answer to Page 4 of 5—Non-Affiliated and Others—H25 1111 a question,no specific record is desired. If a specific record sis requested, the employee shall verify that the record qualifies for routine disclosure. Otherwise,the requestor is directed to the complete a formal Application for Access/Correction of Records. Formal Request—Once it has been determined that a formal request is needed, an Application for Access/Correction of Records is to be completed. The application is available through the Municipal Clerk's Department and on the Municipality's website (www.clarington.net). All formal requests are forwarded to the FOI Co-ordinator who will contact the necessary Department Head to arrange for collection of records pursuant to the scope of the request. The FOI Co-ordinator is responsible for determining disclosure. Where it is anticipated or understood that the records may be considered solicitor-client privilege,the FOI co-ordinator shall contact the solicitor for legal advice. The FOI Co-ordinator shall issue a Notice of Decision and any other required Notice to the requestor.

The low bid received from Miller Paving Limited, Gormley, Ontario, is approximately 32% over the Operations Department 2007 Capital Budget amount. Therefore, in order to meet the allocated budget for this work, it is recommended that the Provisional Item for Part B, Middle Road be deleted from the contract. To further reduce the total contract value, the total granular tonnage will be decreased from 10,311 tonnes to 7,733 tonnes. These reductions will reduce the overall bid price by approximately 33%, and bring it within the amount allocated in the 2007 Capital Budget.

NT/LG/AC/na 1301 REPORT NO.: FND-009-07 PAGE 2 BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: Under the Building Code Act, 1992 and the passing of subsequent amendments, The Building Code Statute Law Amendment Act, 2002 and Ontario Regulation 305103, municipalities are required to prepare an annual report that records the amount of building"permit fees collected and the costs incurred during the process. Article 2.23.1.1 of the Building Code Act specifies what is to be included in the annual report as follows: (1) The report referred to in Subsection 7 (4) of the Act shall contain the following information in respect of fees authorized under Clause 7 (1) (c) of the Act: (a) total fees collected in the 12-month period ending no earlier than three months before the release of the report, (b) the direct and indirect costs of delivering services related to the administration and enforcement of the Act in the area of jurisdiction of the principal authority in the 12-month period referred to in Clause (1) (a), (c) a break-down of the costs described in Clause (1) (b) into at least the following categories: (i) direct costs of administration and enforcement of the Act, including the review of applications for permits and inspection of building, and (ii) indirect costs of administration and enforcement of the Act, including support and overhead costs, and (d) if a reserve fund has been established for any purpose relating to the administration or enforcement of the Act, the amount of the fund at the end of the 12-month period referred to in Clause (a). (2) The principal authority shall give notice of the preparation of a report under Subsection 7 (4) of the Act to every person or organization with such notice and has provided an address for the notice. The requirement to issue an annual report on building permit fees came into effect for the 2006 year which means the first report is required by March 31, 2007. It is unclear in the regulations as to how the annual report is to be reported; i.e. via Council meeting, newspaper advertising, municipal website, etc. CONCLUSION: In accordance with the Building Code Act as amended, staff have prepared this report to Council on an informational basis and Attachment "A" was posted on the municipality's website on April 17, 2007. 1302 REPORT NO.: FND-009-07 PAGE 3 On the Attachment "A" for the summary of the 2006 Annual Report for Building Permit Fees, the total of the direct and indirect costs exceeds the total building permit fees revenue by $15,753.00. This over expenditure is insufficient in nature and is offset by the general fund. Staff recommend that the current fee structure in the municipal by-law for the building permit fees By-Law Number 2005-145 be status quo.; Attachment "A" is a summary of the 2006 building permit fees revenue and related expenditures with the expenses broken down into direct and indirect costs along with the balance of the building division reserve fund and reflects that the total amount of the fees do not exceed the costs to administer and enforce the Act.

A comprehensive streetscape plan will help to unify the area and create sense of identity for the commercial developments and residential communities. The Bowmanville WestTown Centre(BWTC)should be developed as a vital and attractive town centre.A balance of transportation modes should be supported within the Study Area including walking,public transportation, driving and cycling.The Municipality of Clarington should work with developers to achieve this. The BWTC Streetscape Implementation Plan will define the character and quality of the public realm including continuous sidewalks and streets, places to socialize, pedestrian-friendly intersections, enhanced landscaping, transit stops and street furnishings.Contemporary and consistent design should reinforce a strong pedestrian realm through application of guidelines to landscaping, walkways, street lighting, public art, street furniture, landscape buffers, transit shelters/structures, signage and other infrastructure.The project aims to promote a long-term coordinated program of public and private investment in the pedestrian environment that will enhance the area as the focus of community activity. This project is an update to the"Functional Engineering and Street Implementation Plan, Bowmanville West Main Central Area" prepared in 1994 by Totten Sims Hubicki Associates (TSH). It also builds on the work completed in the review of the Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plan, including the urban design and landscaping policies.The existing streetscape plans and works are based on the recommendations of the 1994 TSH study.Since that time the commercial centre area has undergone significant change with residential developments such as the retirement building at Clarington Boulevard and Prince William Boulevard.Additional developments are proposed such as the Brookhill Neighbourhood and Kaitlin residential apartments. Newly built and proposed developments will make the BWTC the focus of the highest residential density in the Municipality of Clarington. Significant upgrading to the existing infrastructure and road network is required to meet future demands. The recent Commercial Policy Review dealt with several major commercial proposals such as Home Depot,Real Canadian Superstore and Wal-mart.It was felt a broader review of planning and design policy was necessary to deal with upcoming high and medium density,mixed-use and residential development in the BWTC. 1.1 Area Background The Bowmanville West Town Centre emerged during early 1990s and continues to grow rapidly.There are several upcoming commercial, office and residential developments.

There are a number of developments proposed or underway in the area, but generally buildings do not define a street wall. An enhanced streetseape will help to address the following area issues and opportunities: ' Lack of identity for Bowmanville West Town Centre Area • Automobile-dominated streetseape with fast- , moving traffic Unfriendly environment for pedestrians with little building frontage along major streets Lack of streetseape design unity Large expanses of underutilized open space and grassed areas t 2.2 Key Objectives Within the overarching goal of creating a commercial 4.

The morning session was held with municipal and regional staff including representatives from: • Clarington Planning • Clarington Engineering • Clarington Operations • Region of Durham Works Department • Durham Regional Transit The afternoon session was held for local developers and their consultants. Both sessions followed the same format. Preliminary concept plans and ideas were presented for the BWTC. Following the presentation participants were asked to take part in a "Post-It" note exercise. Participants expressed their top three for participant's top three area concerns or wishes.The consultant team then gathered the responses and summarized findings. Following the post-it note exercise, participants were provided with a questionnaire to guide discussions at the break-out tables.At the end of the workshop each table summarized their ideas for the larger group. Participants' input was used as a basis to develop the Streetscape Implementation Plan. 2.4.2 Workshop Results Responses and discussion points were been organized into the following categories: Streetscape, Special Treatments,Funding& Maintenance and Transit and are included in Appendix A: List of Workshop Responses. Key ideas included: FINAL DRAFT-April 2007 I I I I I I 1 S i® I d I I I I t 3 Streetscape Concepts 1 I I I I I 1 I LJ The Streetscape will help to humanize the scale of the street by defining the pedestrian realm. The BWTC is developing with buildings of different scales, architectural styles, forms and setbacks. Streetscaping should help unify these varying setbacks and gaps where no building frontage exists.A regular rhythm of street trees should be planted on both sides of the street The Streetscape will also help humanize the scale of the street by introducing pedestrian features where the right-of-way is particularly wide.An enhanced Streetscape will help create a sense of character and place for the area,making it a place to spend time in and not simply a route to travel through. The primary function of the overall plan has been to ensure direct, safe and efficient pedestrian access supported by continuous sidewalks situated along all roads and drive aisles,walkways located within parking areas and designated crosswalks. 3.1 Role of the Streets The existing street network is managed by two levels of local government.Regional Road 57 and Highway 2(west of Regional Road 57) are controlled by the Regional Municipality of Durham.The remainder of the streets are controlled by the Municipality of Clarington. The exception to this are the private streets through private development sites. These may be considered future public streets. OPA 44 promotes a"connective street network" to provide an efficient grid street network as the basic organizational structure for the area.The grid street network establishes an urban block pattern, provides maximum pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular connectivity, and facilitates access to existing and proposed transit services. No dedicated bicycle lanes are proposed for the BWTC, but all streets may safely accommodate cyclists with the exception of Highway 2. The streets within the BWTC have been placed within a hierarchy.This street hierarchy relates the streets to their use and position in the roadway network, the amount of access allowed from adjacent land uses (from driveways or intersecting streets) and the quantity of traffic carried.All streets within the hierarchy of streets will include the following: I. Continuous sidewalks (ranging in width from 1.5m —3.0m) 2. Street trees (species&details vary by street) 3. A consistent palette of paving materials (vary by street) 4. Roadway&pedestrian-scaled lighting standards S. A consistent palette of street furniture including benches, waste receptacles, transit shelters and signage. Cross.section information and roadway alignments included in this Section are conceptual only The plans and sections should be reviewed in conjunction with detailed development plans for individual sites to confirm their applicability to site-specific constraints. 1 ie 5 O n A S m u R H c; Q 4 R 3 R S 0 S 1 O 1® ' Key Plan FINAL DRAFT-April 2007 I [I I The Clarington Boulevard cross section will remain in its existing form,but will be The Green Road RO.W.will be widened and will become one of the primary urban extended north.A number of commercial developments are planned on the west streets of the BWTC.A number of commercial developments are planned for both side of Clarington,north of Highway 2. the east and west sides of Green,north of Highway 2.

The Streetscape elements should work together to develop a"common language" of selected design elements. Elements such as benches, planters, waste receptacles, and transit shelters should have a standard form throughout the study area to unify the area visually, to reduce maintenance and simplify replacement. 4.1 Street Trees and Landscaping ' The selection of plantings will help to unify the area and demark the study area as a"special place", particularly along Highway 2. The special treatments chosen for Highway 2 and portions of Clarington Boulevard and Green Road will help to distinguish these areas within the hierarchy ' of streets.The selection of plant materials are based on a number of factors, including form, texture and seasonality. Functional properties of plants will provide ' shade, pedestrian comfort and reinforce appropriate pedestrian scale. The use of a landscaped median should be provided to ' minimize conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles, reduce vehicular speeds, provide a safe refuge for pedestrians crossing the street and soften the visual ' barrier of the street. The use of intensive plantings within the median will help to minimize the perceived road width. 1 Elements Street trees,plantings and pedestrian furniture help to define the street and pedestrian realm.The placement and orientation of these elements should be located in the boulevard and always outside of the pedestrian path of travel. 0 ro 0 x a m a m h 3 O o' a b 3 4/ 1 r r r r r r r 0 4.1.1 Trees Trees are important for their contribution to traffic calming,for their mitigation of vehicular emissions and for the shade and buffering they provide to pedestrians. y Trees planted throughout the BWTC will help to reduce the scale of the right-of-way.The primary streets should be planted with a double row of trees where the width of the right-of-way permits.Where possible, a second row of trees should be planted within the private right- of-way.(See next page for locations of double rows of trees).

I s m s A m ry a° m 'o m S a s 3 4i I 1 i Recommended shrubs:Fragrant Sumac,Japanese Rose,Carousel Barberry and Anthony Waterer Spirea. 4.1.2 Shrubs&Grasses '® Maintenance of plant materials should be carefully considered in landscape design.Priority should be given to plants with low maintenance requirements,including resistance to urban conditions such as salt and snow storage. Large areas of sod should be avoided where possible.Suggested species include: ' Fragrant Sumac Ruby Carousel 'Bailone';and Rhus aromatica'Gro-low': Barberry - Berberis thunbergii ' Switch Grass- Panicum vigatum. I 4.1.3 Seasonal Plantings/Perennials Due to high maintenance requirements,seasonal plantings should be located in fewer and larger areas to maximize visual impact It is recommended that some seasonal plantings be considered for the Highway 2 median to accent intersections.Suggested species include: • Anthony Waterer Spirea-Spiraea japonica'Anthony Waterer'; • Japanese Rose - Rosa rugosa;and • Coneflower—Rudbeckia fulgida'Goldstrum'. FINAL DRAFT-April 2007 Recommended perennials: Coneflower and Cushion euphorbia. i r 1 1 1 1 The raised planted median along Highway 2 will help to minimize the perceived width of the road. 1 4.1.4 Median ' The use of a landscaped median is proposed to help reduce the perceived width of roads and to reduce the speed of automobiles and provide an area of refuge for ' pedestrians.The medians should be of a minimum width to accommodate street trees whenever possible. Mid- block crossings are not recommended for Highway 2 because of high vehicular speeds. Along Highway 2,a raised concrete planter is proposed for the median. The raised planter will accommodate trees and shrubs throughout the length of Highway 2 1 within the study area. Perennials are recommended only for more highly visible areas or gateway sites along Highway 2. 1 A minimum of 0.6m should be provided along the length of the raised planters to provide space for maintenance workers to access the median planter safely.The raised 1 planter should also be a minimum of 0.8m in height to avoid excessive snow loading in the planter. 1 4i R F 4 s m s m n 5 n Ia n a A ' A 3 3 FINAL DRAFT-April 2007 Typical detail for the raised planted median along Highway 2. I I I I r, L I 1 1 Planted trenches will create a buffer between the sidewalk and road. 4.1.5 Tree Trenches Rows of street trees have been sited throughout the StudyArea.Studies on urban trees consider water stress and insufficient room to grow the most common reasons for premature street tree death.Poor soil drainage,soil compaction,high salt levels and alkaline conditions also contribute to the problem of poor tree growth. The use of continuous tree trenches is encouraged as they are designed to maximize soil volume and greater water and oxygen infiltration.They provide more than 8.5 cu.m.of soil per tree.A continuous tree pit I in deep, and 2m wide is excavated prior to sidewalk construction. When street trees are planted in the landscaped boulevard,the sodded area should be at least I.Sm wide with a minimum of 1.5m for the adjacent sidewalk. Please see previous page for typical tree trench detail as developed for the City of Toronto. The existing tree grates along Clar ngton Boulevard should be used throughout the study area. 4.1.6 Tree Grates To ensure that trees do not suffer from soil compaction that restricts water and air around their roots, the bases of trees will be either planted with groundcover or shrubs and mulch, or metal tree grates for areas with intense pedestrian traffic where the width of the boulevard is narrow. The continued use of the existing tree grates is recommended as the material is suitable for the area and because they are adjustable and will allow for the growth of the tree and ease of maintenance. The tree grate from the TSH document is identified as: Style:Sunburst Series Manufacturer.Trystan Colour:Black Material :Cast Iron Specification:No:TP48 a7 P I FINAL DRAFT-April 2007 The eastern extent of the StudyArea is characterized by the CP Rail overpass and a wide Highway 2 crass section. The width of the ROW allows for a wide,raised planter in the median. 1 s 4.2 am 4.2.1 1 Gateways and Special Treatment Areas Gateways—East&West ends of Highway 2 East End— Bridge over Highway 2 Gateway locations will become the symbolic entrance to the BWTC. Highway 2 is the major urban corridor for the area and has a clear definition at the east end where the CP Rail bridge crosses over Highway 2 (King Street). The west end of the study area is much less developed and has no clear boundary. The western boundary should be identified through the continuation of the median with a raised planter that helps to define the area, with a potential for a gateway feature at Boswell Drive.This area could have special plantings(i.e. perennials) or a specially designed, identifying element that announces the entrance into the BWTC. West End • Create a transition from surrounding rural/ residential areas; • Continue the median to Boswell Drive;and • Build continuous sidewalks. The eastern boundary of the Study Area extends west of Boswell Drive and will help to define the area.The enhanced landscape should extend to the Study Area boundary. Creates a transition from Bowmanville Main Street to BWTC;and Prominent site could feature public art or other installations. 4.2.2 Other Special Treatment Areas A number of locations have been identified as "Special Treatment" areas throughout the Streetscape Implementation Project process. These sites were chosen because of their high visibility and prominent locations,as well as their need for some aesthetic improvements. The following areas were identified: • Grass slope to the west of the bridge on Highway 2; • Church site at the northeast corner of Highway 2& Regional Road 57; • Large sodded area on the south side of Highway 2, in front of the Loblaws;and • Fire Station on Highway 2. Some of the ideas proposed for these special treatment areas included: • A Firefighter's Memorial; • AVeteran's Memorial; • Involvement from horticultural society; • Banner Program to feature community events, prominent Clarington figures,etc;and • Other public art opportunities. The sloped area on the north side of Highway 2 cannot be animated with buildings because of a grade difference. Instead,the sloped sections should be planted with mixed meadow species to add visual interest and texture.A landscaped feature or other large art installation could be located here as well. I I I I 1 1 The large expanse of gross in front of the Church at Highway 2 and Regional Road 57 is considered a special treatment area. The sloped area along the north side of Highway 2 is considered a special treatment area.

The Municipality may want to consider other materials to reduce costs,but should explore the lifecycle costing of any alternatives to the recommended materials. Curbs should be graded and scored to provide accessibility for those in wheelchairs and people with strollers. Large unit pavers may be suitable for some crosswalks,as long as Alternatives for crosswalks include stamped asphak shown above the proper sub-base is provided. (shown here:StreetPrint by Duratherm). Alternatives for crosswalks include decorative asphalt surfacing system(shown here:Duratherm). I ��? I 1 1 i 1 1 1 1 1 t The existing decorative and median light standards should be replaced in the long-term with fixtures that provide both pedestrian and z roadway illumination. 0 4.5 Pedestrian and Roadway Light Standards Street and pedestrian-level lighting should illuminate 1 the sidewalk at a level that is consistent with pedestrian activities rather than vehicular activity. 1 1 1 I 1 1 In the short-term,the continued use of the decorative median and boulevard lights is expected. Options for painting these lights should be explored so that they are not so visually prominent. A charcoal colour is recommended for the blue-coloured light standards. In the long-term,an alternative street light fixture that combines both pedestrian and vehicular lighting should be considered for the entire BWTC. For the purposes of this document,and as per the 1994 TSH Report, the Lumec series should be priced and consulted for colours and styles. Along Highway 2&Regional Road 57: • Decorative Boulevard lights (Type A - Single Head) are to be spaced 50m o.c. (on Highway 2 and Regional Road 57 - alternating with decorative cobraheads) • Decorative median lights (Type B - Double Head) are to be spaced 50m o.c. • Decorative Cobrahead lights (Type C - Cobra Head) are to be spaced 50m o.c. • Pedestrian fixtures should be attached to the cobrahead poles to provide sidewalk level lighting. All other Roads: • Decorative Boulevard lights (Type A - Single Head) are to be spaced 40m o.c. (on all other streets) • Decorative median lights (Type B - Double Head), spacing varies - depending on length of median and median trees are to be space 35m/40m. FINAL DRAFT-April 2007 Pedestrian-scaled luminaries should be fixed to the cobrahead poles to provide sidewalk illumination. I I I I 1 Commercial signage should be designed as part of the overall site plan. 4.6 Signage 4.6.1 Commercial Signage Permanent Signage should be integrated into the site plan for each proposed development to ensure complementary and overall consistency of design throughout the study area. Signage is encouraged to be integrated in building design rather than applied to a stand-alone structure. Stand- alone signs should be shared among tenants,integrated in landscaping and are recommended not exceed 3.0 meters in height. +ESM WITH EAa Mobile signage should not be allowed, particularly on primary streets. Temporary Signs Movable or portable signs should be phased out as it is difficult to enforce their removal and creates visual clutter. Additionally, the total size of temporary signs (i.e.real estate signs)should be limited to 2 s.m. Street Furniture Signage With the exception of bus shelters, street furniture should not include signage except to indicate the source of funding for the streetscape item in simple lettering on a small surface. Advertising Signage should be restricted to certain locations, i.e. transit shelters. Street furniture should not be designed for the purpose of accommodating signage. Other Signage Principles: In general, the following Signage types should not be used: • Backlit sign boxes • Billboards-on poles or roofs • Revolving signs • Roof signs Signs(including lettering)should not obstruct more than a small percentage of window areas(e.g. 10%). Backlit signs (except signs composed of individual letters)are less desirable and should thus be subject to a lower area limit calculation than other signs. Up-lighting of signs should be prohibited to limit light pollution. Excessive illumination of the Signage,building or site should be avoided. ii 1 3 ' o s n 3 N m 5 n ' b m A_ O s x FINAL DRAFT-April 2007 Street name and woypnding signage is important to the identity of the oreo.The Municipality should consider developing a signage style that is specific to the BWTC. 4.6.2 Wayfinding& Street Name signage New buildings and developments should incorporate pedestrian-scaled directional signs and maps that indicate pedestrian walkways, special features/destinations, parking areas and service areas. In the long-term, street name signage for the BWTC should include a more comprehensive hierarchy of sign types.The design of street name signage should be carefully considered and be specific to the BWTC.The graphic quality of directional signs should be clear,distinct and coordinated with the image of the development and/or with any existing wayfinding signage program. Other desirable locations for wayfinding signage includes information kiosks and transit shelters. I LJ I L_J There are a number of locations in the BWTC area where parking lots are buffered from the sidewalk through a combination of plantings and low fences. Dense plantings should buffer surface parking lots where they are adjacent to the pedestrian realm. 4.7 Surface Parking Lot Buffers The design of effective screening devices and treatments should be complementary to surrounding conditions and be consistent throughout the area. High quality landscaping treatments should be used to define site boundaries, provide buffers between adjoining developments and screen storage and utility areas. Native species are commonly used around the perimeter of parking lots to filter runoff and lessen dependency on stormwater sewers.The selection of plant materials should consider year-round appearance, seasonal variety, hardiness, resistance to disease, maintenance requirements, tolerance of salt and other urban conditions. Perimeter plantings should allow opportunities for surveillance from adjacent areas.Perimeter hedges and shrubs should not exceed I.Om in height.The use of a low fence is also acceptable provided it does not impede visibility. Recommended materials include a stone base and/or wrought iron and metal. I m A Z 3 n m N y A a° R a A 3 RZ Standard concrete sidewalks are recommended throughout the study area,ranging in width from °s unit pavers should be considered for some streets. a4.8 Sidewalk Paving Materials To enhance the BWTC as a desirable pedestrian and ® commercial destination,a unified and improved palette ' of streetscape paving materials should be developed. The composition of paving materials should be used to identify the hierarchy of streets. Paving details have been developed in compositions, from a simple concrete sidewalk lined with unit pavers to more detailed bands running across the sidewalk at tree locations. Banding and solder-courses should be used to define concrete sidewalks without being too costlyA curb-edge decorative band clearly demarcates the boulevard strip and serves to put fixed objects like trees, parking metres and street lights in a boundary. The rough texture and contrasting colour not only have an aesthetic purpose but also alert those who are visually impaired to obstacles and the edge of roadbeds. Additionally,sidewalk edges and curbs should be graded and scored to provide barrier-free access for people with physical and visual impairments. 1.5m to 3.0m.Decorative bandmgs with Within the pedestrian realm pavers are desirable. If installed on a strong base with good drainage, they are long-lasting and attractive. Where crossing over driveways and intersections occurs sidewalks should be marked through other materials such as large format concrete pavers. FINAL DRAFT-April 2007 I I 4.9 Public art from small,discrete elements or Art in the public realm provides a human touch,reinforcing the pedestrian focus desired for this area. Large,site- specific art installations are recommended for some of the large open sites along Highway 2.One opportunity is the embankment on the north side of Highway 2 at the east end of the Study Area.The entryways and gateways into the BWTC are also desirable sites for major art works or other banner programs.See Section 4.2 for Gateways and Special Treatment areas indicating locations for public art. Opportunities for public art should include memorials, which afford opportunities for fundraising. Some suggestions include: AVetetan's memorial; •Fire-fighter's memorial; •History of Agriculture;and Commemorative Plaque Program (for donated trees,benches,etc). Veterans Memorial,Washington DC). The slope on Highway 2 is an ideal place to showcase public art E 0 3 a m a m s 2 rc 3 b m 3 m s a Street furniture should be grouped in highly z' active pedestrian locations. p41.10 Street furniture s FINAL DRAFT-April 2007 Raised planters will help to create a buffer between the sidewalks and the street and will provide informal seating areas along Highway 2 (SL George Street, Toronto). The design of street furniture should be consistent '® throughout the BWTC to visually unify the area. A collection of furniture should be chosen for its durability, compatibility with the southern Ontario climate and future availability. Canadian made site furniture is ' recommended for its ease of procurement and to ensure it will withstand Canadian winters. Durability and ease of maintenance is important in the selection of street ' furniture. Other considerations for furniture should consider resistance to theft and vandalism.Vandalism to street furniture has occurred in the past and their replacement is very expensive. ' Colours and materials of site furniture should be coordinated as much as possible. The streetscape furniture selected should build on existing context ' of materials such as wrought—iron, stone and brick wherever possible. All street furniture should be located in highly-active pedestrian areas,but oriented and placed in such a way so as not to impede pedestrian movement. In most instances streetscape furniture can be located in the boulevard and remain easily accessible and unobtrusive to pedestrian movement. Additionally, furniture and other streetscape elements should not be placed within the corner site triangle. 4.10.1 Benches and Raised Planters Benches, seating and other street furniture should be oriented to buffer the impact of traffic. Sitting areas should be located in areas that will have the most pedestrian use,such as heavily travelled sidewalks and intersections, adjacent to the building entrances, and near transit shelters. The raised planters located in the boulevards on Highway 2 should be designed to provide a seating wall along the sidewalk edge.The images above show examples of the raised planters recommended for Highway 2. The existing benches in the BWTC should be phased out over time and a more durable and sturdy bench should be chosen. I 1 I 1 The stone bench above has a feeling of permanence and the materials are consistent with existing materials already used in the public realm. The bench above is located along Highway 2. The location is too close to the street and is not easily accessible from the sidewalk.A more attractive bench should be chosen for the area. A more contemporary bench should be an alternative to the existing benches , 61 1 = 1 1 � s b 3 t Waste receptacle that integrates recycling should be used in the BWTC. 4.10.2 Waste receptacles Trash receptacles should be located at street corners and in highly active pedestrian areas.The waste receptacles chosen for the area should include slots for recycling as well as Iitter.Waste receptacles should be located with benches and with transit shelters. Bike rings should be located throughout the BWTC. 4.10.3 Bicycle racks Bike racks should be placed in highly active pedestrian areas throughout the BWTC.This would include the front entrances of buildings and at the future GO train stop.The placement of racks within the pedestrian realm should not impede pedestrian movement. The bike racks should be constructed of a good quality, single locking ring and post design.The number and configuration of bike racks at any location will have to be evaluated on an individual case basis. All bike racks throughout the BWTC are to be of the same manufacturer,colour,materials and design. FINAL DRAFT-April 2007 Sample rendering(credit:Astral Media) of newspaper boxes should be grouped together in one consolidated structure to avoid clutter in the boulevard. 4.10.4 Newspaper boxes Newspaper boxes should be grouped together in fewer Iocations.The boxes may also be designed to be stacked (as shown in the image above).They should be located in highly-active pedestrian areas,such as transit stops and at intersections. Boxes and enclosures should not impede pedestrian movement and should be of a design that is co-ordinated with other streetscape elements. I I 1 I L_] I Clarington Transit runs along Highway 2 and south along Clarington Boulevard. 4.10.5 Transit shelters Transit shelters should be conveniently located and accessible from sidewalks and walkways. Placement of shelters should be oriented towards the street with appropriate paving surrounding the shelter. The design and orientation of shelters should maximize site lines to on-coming transit. Seating should be located in the shelter. Please refer to the Region of Durham's Arterial Corridor Guidelines (November 2005), Section 5.8 - Transit and Shelters. To make public transit more convenient and comfortable, shelters should include all of the necessary transit maps, benches and waste receptacles.Shelter design should be consistent to create a unified visual identity for transit. Shelter signage should be clear,visible and well-lit. It is recommended that a new transit shelter be designed for the Municipality of Clarington. w t r- Fri Transit shelter designs for the VIVA System (in Vaughan,ON)are more contemporary.

As pedestrian traffic ' increases throughout the area these kiosks can become important sources of information for the community. Kiosks should be conveniently-located and in highly active pedestrian areas to attract users and provide ' security.They should not impede pedestrian circulation. Kiosks should be limited in size to minimize visual impacts while providing adequate space in which to post information. 1 1 1 Recommended locations for kiosks include: • The intersection of Highway 2 and Clarington Boulevard; • At or near transit shelters along Highway 2, Clarington Boulevard and/or the future GO Station on Prince William Boulevard;and • Main pedestrian entrances to commercial sites. Utility bones should ideally be located below ground where possible, ahernatively they should be screened with fencing or plantings. 4.10.7 Utility Boxes Utilities, including utility cabinets, transformer vaults, hydro metres and gas metres should be incorporated into the building and not located at corners or visible to pedestrians.Above-grade utilities generally contribute to a negative image of the streetscape,particularly when placed in highly visible areas of the public right-of-way. Streets that have smaller lots require a greater number of above grade utilities and the location of above grade services reduce opportunities to plant street trees. Utility companies should be continually encouraged to bury these elements or examine ways to improve the appearance and interface of utility infrastructure. Less publicly visible locations(at the side or rear of buildings) and attractive enclosures or screening for utilities such as on-sidewalk transformers should be developed. 1 i x 3 a 3 y 0 S n s Q n j b rt 0 s 3 71hh 1 1 1 1 FINAL DRAFT-April 2007 1 � 5 I I I 1 1 1 Implementation 5.1 Priorities S.I.I. Invest in the Public Realm The Municipality of Clarington and Durham Region should make it a priority to invest in the public realm to encourage private sector investment in streetscaping. The following initiatives have been discussed in the Streetscape Implementation Plan: • Widen sidewalks and build new sidewalks where none exist; • Plant street trees; • Select and install new street furniture,with enclosed transit shelters as a high priority; • Phase out street furniture that is not appropriate for the area(i.e.existing benches); • Install banners on light standards along Highway 2; • Install pedestrian-scaled lighting along Highway 2 (attached to cobrahead poles); • Locate utilities below-grade and where possible relocate existing above-grade utilities to less conspicuous locations (i.e. away from corners and intersections);and • Enter into partnership with the private sector to implement proposed streeucape improvements as properties develop. 5.1.2 Intervene at the Site Planning Stage The site planning stage provides opportunities to intervene and collaborate (if necessary with financial support) with property owners to achieve the desired outcomes.The following items should be pursued at the site planning stage: • In general, site plan reviewers should ensure that applications abide by the guidelines outlined in this document; • Limit percentage of surface parking along the property line — this will help to define the street edge allow for a consistent streeucape treatment. Develop a consistent design for parking screening of low masonry walls,planted hedges and wrought iron fences. • Signage should be integrated into the site plan for each proposed development to ensure complementary and overall consistency of design throughout the BWTC. A consistent design for building identification should be applied to each distinct commercial development to establish a coordinated image and orientation to commercial areas. 5.1.3 Implementation Funding Both the Region and the Municipality should include implementation money through their respective future Development Charges studies. The Municipality and Region should consider preparing conceptual median designs in advance for areas east of Clarington Boulevard so that they are prepared when development applications are submitted. In doing this,the Municipality and Region can obtain developer contributions towards these items. Developers should have advance knowledge of streetscape beautification obligations as a part of their developments. This should be undertaken before the Municipality 3 undertakes budgeting and Development Charge reviews, which is anticipated to be done in the short term. If the Municipality is able to contribute to a streeucape fund,it may be possible to enter into a contract with the Region to undertake the comprehensive reconstruction of the median from Clarington Boulevard to the CP Rail bridge. 5.2 Options for Highway 2 r � � r REVISED DRAFT-April 2007 a � �'••.. .,. 1071 '`+_���� • mot__ __�_ `I\ Option I - Raised Planters on the Highway 2 boulevard are located from the west end of the Study Area to Regional Road 57.

The following list represents responses from both the morning and afternoon sessions. 13 Streetscape Enhanced streeucape — islands, banners, street furniture&trees Highway 2 — intensive tree planting, clock tower, bridge enhancement (***), fire hall site, other gateway treatments High quality bike & pedestrian network (***) — neighbourhood (Brookhill & Aspen Springs), Recreation Complex connections (unlink fire station with Arena entrance) Consistency,quality&efficient balance of needs Safe & efficient movement of traffic, transit & pedestrians Bury hydro lines where possible,consider location No interlocking brick on roadway Clear sight lines at intersections&fire access (*�) Landscaping—tree growth (hydro lines,commercial visibility,minimum widths) Traffic congestion @ Green&Clarington at Highway 2 (already congested) New street light standard for streets—expensive? Strong pedestrian connections to Downtown No pylon signs Bio-swale-sub-grade(free-draining) Light type tower as a meeting point Improvements to Hwy 2 and 57 intersection Look at Green Road north of Hwy 2 Will the trees survive?Raised planters in the median will be essential for tree survival Enhanced planting in parking lots Road cross-sectionsshould reflectthetransportation function Increase spacing for street trees (from 6.0m to 10.0-12.0m) Increase distance from curb for street tree (min. 1.5m) Increase height of raised planter(min.0.45m) B. Special Treatments • Street-fronting retail with parking behind • Bio-filtration opportunities (parking lots, streeucape) • Common pedestrian areas within developments (walkways,corner plazas&open spaces) C. Funding & Maintenance • Maintenance&Operations—snow storage (*k) • Funding implementation of infrastructure & long- term maintenance • Cost share between Clarington,Durham & private a A developers • How much will it cost to implement and maintain? • Consider high school students • Consider costs of custom pieces D. Transit • Accessible bus stops • Dedicated bus bays • Conveniently located bus stops&destinations Note:*indicates multiple responses.
