Myno Van Dyke, Newcastle Village & Historical Society addressed the Committee
regarding Report PSD-054-07, Walbridge House. Mr. Van Dyke expressed why he
feels strongly about the designation of the Walbridge House. He gave a brief history of

Methodist church and in 1924 it was the location for the 100 year anniversary of
Methodism celebrations in Newcastle. He also stated that it still has its original windows
and original foundation and it is the second oldest building in the Durham Region.
Victor Suppan, Clarington Heritage Advisory Committee addressed the Committee
regarding Report PSD-054-07, Walbridge House. Mr. Suppan fully supports the staff
recommendations to have the Walbridge House designated as a property of cultural
heritage. Designation of this house will honour historical events and the architecture.
Mr. Suppan also stated that the current owner should be assisted in preserving the
house.

concerning the Soper Creek Subwatershed Study. Mr. Mensink stated this has been a
matter of attention for several years now, and the recommendations contained in the
report are a reversal of these efforts. He requested the Committee to support the
continuation of the Environmental Impact Study; and to direct Planning staff to proceed
with the Watershed Study. Alternatively, Mr.Mensink requested that the portion of the

Applicant:
Owner:
Black Creek Developments Ltd.
(same as applicant)
1.3
t
Prop~sed Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision:
The proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision includes 48 single
detached dwellings consisting of 24 lots with minimum 12 metre lot
frontages, 24 lots with minimum 15 metre lot frontages, and a
0.338 ha (0.835 acre) Open Space Block.
1.4 Rezoning:
To change the "Agricultural (A)" zone and the "Environmental
Protection (EP)" zone to zones to permit the development of the
proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision.
1.5 Area:
3.077 hectares (7.603 acres)
1.6 Location:
The subject lands are generally located west of Courtice Road,
north of Westmore Street, east of Jane Avenue and they provide for
the extension of George Reynolds Drive (Attachment 1).
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 On February 28, 2006, Black Creek Developments Ltd. submitted applications to amend
the Zoning By-law along with an application requesting approval of a Draft Plan of
Subdivision.
2.2 A Public Meeting was held on May 8, 2006 but an error in the public notice mail-out
invalidated that public meeting and necessitated this public meeting. In the last year,
additional agency comments have arrived since the first public meeting and the
segment of George Reynolds Drive between Courtice Road and the Black Creek
tributary valleylands has generally been constructed with only final details unfinished.
This connection was a condition of draft approval for the lands within the subdivision to
the west, Plan 18T-95029, now registered Plans 40M-2213 and 40M-2317. The
required Environmental Impact Study (EIS) Addendum had not been started a year ago
but since then has been completed to the draft final stage.
2.3 Studies submitted in support of the applications include:
. Phase One Environmental Site Assessment
. Soil Investigation Report
. Noise Impact Study
· Noise Impact Study Addendum Report
. Lot Grading Plan
. Street Parking Layout Plan

4.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY
4.1 Provincial Policy Statement
The Provincial Policy Statement requires planning authorities to provide for a range of
housing types and densities, with a ten year supply of lands for residential growth and a
three year supply of residential units on zoned and serviced lands within draft approved
and registered plans. Land and unit supply is to be based on and reflect population and
unit allocations which are identified in municipal official plans.
The Provincial Policy Statement notes development shall not be permitted on lands
adjacent to natural heritage features unless the ecological function of the lands has
been evaluated and it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on
the natural features or their ecological functions.
4.2 Provincial Growth Plan
The Growth Plan encourages growth in built-up areas, in short, intensification. The
Growth Plan provides direction for better utilization of existing infrastructure, while other
policies speak to the wise use and management of natural heritage.
603
REPORT NO.: PSD-057-07
PAGE 4
5.0 OFFICIAL PLANS
5.1 Durham Reoion Official Plan
The: lDurham Region Official Plan designates the subject" lands as Living Area. Lands
designated as Living Area permit the development of communities with defined
boundaries, incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure.
5.2 Clarinoton Official Plan
The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands as Urban Residential. The
lands are within the Glenview Neighbourhood, which has a population target of 3100
people and a housing target of 1135 units.
Low Density residential uses shall be developed at 10-30 net units per residential
hectare. The predominant housing form shall be single detached, semi-detached/link
and duplex to a maximum height of 2.5 storeys.
The Clarington Official Plan policies require a,n Environmental Impact Study (EIS) be
undertaken for development applications located on lands within or adjacent to the Lake
Iroquois Beach, or any natural heritage feature identified on Map C. An EIS is also
required where development proposals are located within 120 metres of the boundary of
a wetland or a wetland complex. An EIS Addendum, in accordance with policies of the
Clarington Official Plan, has been undertaken for the development. The expense has
been borne by the proponent.
6.0 ZONING BY-LAW
6.1 Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands "Environmental Protection (EP)" and
"Agricultural (A)". A zoning by-law amendment will be required in order for development
to proceed.
7.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
7.1 Public Notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject
property. Public Meeting signs were installed in three places: on the Courtice Road
frontage, and near the east-west mid-point of the new segment of George Reynolds
Drive, on both the south and north sides of the new roadway. The signs were posted 22
days prior to the public meeting date.
7.2 As a result of the public notification process, to date, the Planning Services Department
has received one counter inquiry from a neighbourhood resident to the south. He had
received the public notice mail-out and was satisfied with the lots on George Reynolds
Drive but noted the lots on Skinner Court were smaller than the lots on George
Reynolds and his neighbourhood to the south and therefore, the Skinner Court lots were
in his view, out of character with the surrounding neighbourhood. Staff explained that
infill and a range of housing types and densities is appropriate in new development in
604
REPORT NO.: PSD-057-07
PAGE 5
urban areas. He requested staff review the Skinner Court lot areaslfrontages with a
view to making modifications to them that would make them more similar to the housing
immediately north and south. ' I ,
A telephone inquiry came from a Courtice resident who stated she understood there
would be no housing north of George Reynolds Drive since that entire area was in her
understanding, part of the provincially significant wetland. Staff explained the southern
limit of the above wetland was more in line with the subdivision property boundary than
the street, there would be one bank of housing to the north fronting on George Reynolds
and behind it would be an open space block acting to buffer the wetland from the bank
of housing. Staff said the matter would be looked into further.
One inquiry came bye-mail. He was looking for general information on the proposal
and such was provided to him.
8.0 AGENCY COMMENTS
8.1 Comments have been received from the majority of the circulated departments and
agencies.
8.2 Clarington Emergency & Fire Services, Hydro One Networks Inc. and Rogers Cable
offered no comments or objections on the proposed applications.
8.3 The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board advised that the proposal would
generate between 11 and 14 students to Courtice North Public School which is currently
over capacity with 6 portables on site and 7 students to Courtice Secondary School.
The Board requests sidewalks on all interior roads. The Board has no objections to the
applications.
8.4 Bell Canada requested two standard conditions of draft approval but had no other
concerns.
8.5 Central Lake Ontario Conservation has commented that an Environmental Impact Study
(EIS) is required and that they cannot offer final comments and conditions of draft
approval until the EIS has been satisfactorily completed. The Conservation Authority,
as is the norm, has partnered with Clarington Planning to oversee the preparation of an
EIS Addendum which has been taken to the draft final stage. The Addendum approach
recognizes the Birchdale Village Black Creek Developments Phase 2 EIS as providing
background to the Addendum. The Final Version of the EIS Addendum will be
completed soon and it is anticipated the Authority will shortly thereafter provide final
positive comments on the subdivision and its conditions of draft approval.
8.6 Clarington Engineering Services has provided comments requesting a revised driveway
layout on a couple of lots, a detailed On-Street Parking Layout Plan and the need for
the subdivision to be one phase. A few concerns with the (Preliminary) Lot Grading
Plan as it pertains to Courtice Road, the open space block and a couple of lots as well
as some drainage details were also noted.
605
REPORT NO.: PSD-057-07
PAGE 6
8.7 Enbridge Gas has provided comments for two standard conditions of draft approval bu~
had no other concerns.
8.8 Regarding outstanding comments, apart from Central Lake. Ontario Conservation
comments, which are discussed in Section 8.5 above, the Regional Planning
DePC=trtment has yet to provide the Region's final comments and conditions of draft
approval. At such time as the Region's review of the Noise Impact Study and the
Addendum Report to this Study is done, and when it has received a copy of the Final
Version of the EIS Addendum final comments and conditions of approval will be
provi<;led. The Separate School Board has yet to comment.
9.0 STAFF COMMENTS
9.1 Due to the location of the proposed development within the Lake Iroquois Beach and it's
proximity to the Harmony-Farewell Iroquois Beach PSW, significant woodlands and
significant valleylands, as identified on Schedule C of the Clarington Official Plan, an
Environmental Impact Study (EIS) is required in accordance with the Official Plan
policies. In 1998 an EIS was submitted by the applicant in support of Birchdale Village
(18T-95029) located to the west of the current application. The subject property was
included as part of the subject area for that EIS, which was subsequently approved by
the Municipality and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority. Since the 1998
EIS partially addressed the subject property, staff, in consultation with the Central Lake
Ontario- Conservation Authority, determined that the EIS requirements can be
addressed through an addendum to the original report. The addendum is to provide
specific details and recommendations on the current proposal. The addendum
addresses the Harmony-Farewell Iroquois Beach PSW, released since the 1998 EIS.
This Addendum Report has been completed to the draft final stage.
9.2 The proposed plan of subdivision incorporates an open space block immediately
abutting the north limits of the residential lots north of George Reynolds Drive. Staff is
reviewing the appropriateness of the Open Space Block in terms of ownership, size,
access, and location with the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority. The EIS
Addendum Report examined this Block to determine if it provides an appropriate buffer
for the provincially significant wetland located directly to the north and concluded it did.
9.3 The proposal deviates from the Glenview Neighbourhood Design Plan as a connection
to the lands to the north of the subject property is not provided in the vicinity of Lots 42
and 43 (see Attachr:nent 1). This would limit development potential of the lands to the
north. However, since the approval of the Glenview Neighbourhood Design Plan the
new Harmony-Farewell Iroquois Beach Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) has
been identified on lands in the vicinity of Block 51. The EIS Addendum, building on the
background provided by the Birchdale Village EIS, makes recommendations for no
development of these lands. This leads to a modification to the Glenview
Neighbourhood Design Plan. Given the location of the new Provincially Significant
Wetland on the lands to the north, it is necessary to remove, from the Glenview
Neighbourhood Design Plan, the road stub off of George Reynolds Drive and pointing to
the lands to the north.

REPORT NO.: PSD-057-07

9.4 Although, it is Council's position to avoid cul-de-sacs in favour of a grid street network,
the applicant has designed Skinner Court in accordance with the approved GlenvieYf
Neighbourhood Design Plan. '
10.0 CONCLUSION
10.1 The purpose of this report is to provide information for the Public Meeting required
under the Planning Act. Staff respectfully requests that this report be referred back to
staff for further processing and the preparation of a subsequent report.

5.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY
5.1 Provincial Policy Statement
5.1.1 The Official Plan amendment application and the corresponding applications for Draft
Plan of Subdivision and rezoning were reviewed in the context of the 2005 Provincial
Policy Statement.
5.1.2 The Provincial Policy Statement encourages planning authorities to create healthy
livable and safe communities by accommodating an appropriate range and mix of
residential, employment, recreational and open space uses to meet long term needs.
5.1.3 Policy related to Settlement Areas, states that new development shall occur adjacent to
built up areas and shall have compact form, a mix of uses and densities that allow for
the efficient use of land, infrastructure and public services.
5.1.4 The Housing Policies, states that Planning authorities are required to provide for a
range of housing types and densities with a ten year supply of lands which are
designated, and a three year supply of zoned and service land within draft approved
and registered plans. New housing is to be directed to locations where infrastructure
and public services are or will be available. A full range of housing types and densities
shall be provided to meet projected requirements of current and future residents of the
regional market area.
612
REPORT NO.: PSD-058-07
PAGE 5
5.1.5 The Public Spaces, Parks and Open Space policies, state that healthy active
communities should be promoted by planning public streets and spaces that are safe
and facilitate pedestrian and non-motorized movement. A full range of' publicly'
accessible built and natural settings for recreation including facilities, parks, open space
and trails should also be considered.
5.1.6 The Infrastructure and Public Service Facilities policies, state that infrastructure and
public service facilities shall be provided in a coordinated efficient and cost effective
manner. Planning for these shall be integrated with planning for growth so that they are
available to meet current and projected needs. The use of existing infrastructure and
public service facilities should be optimized where feasible' before considering
developing new infrastructure and public service facilities.
5.1.7 Energy' and Air Quality policies, state that planning authorities shaU support energy
efficiency and improved air quality through various means in the planning and
development process
5.1.8 The subject applications are consistent with the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement as
they are proposing the development of a mixed use community with a range of housing
types and densities. The subject lands are adjacent to the existing built-up area and will
make use of existing infrastructure and public service facilities. The applications will also
aid the Municipality in attaining its three year supply of available residential land.
5.2 Provincial Growth Plan
5.2.1 The Provincial Growth Plan encourages municipalities to manage growth by directing
population growth to settlement areas. Growth is to be accommodated by building
compact, transit-supportive communities in designated greenfield areas and by reducing
dependence on the automobile through the development of mixed use, pedestrian-
friendly environments. Growth shall also be directed to areas that offer municipal water
and wastewater systems. Municipalities should establish an urban open space system
within built up areas which may include communal courtyards and public parks.
5.2.2 The applications would appear to conform with the Provincial Growth Plan.
6.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
6.1 Durham Reo ion Official Plan
6.1.1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan, the lands are designated as "Living Area".
Living Areas shall be used predominantly for housing purposes. However, a mix of uses
such as certain home occupations, convenience stores, public and recreational uses,
limited office development and retailing of goods and services may also be permitted in
Living Areas provided there are appropriate provisions and designations in the area
municipal Official Plan.
613
REPORT NO.: PSD-058-07
PAGE 6
6.1.2
In considering development applications in designated Living Areas, regard shall be had
for the intent of this plan to achieve the following:
· A compact urban form;
· The use of good urban design principles;
· The provision of convenient pedestrian access to public transit;
educational facilities and parks; and
· The grid pattern of roads.
'I It
I',"
6.2
Clarinaton Official Plan
Within the Clarington Official Plan, the subject lands are designated as Urban
Residential, and Environmental Protection Area. The use of lands within the Urban
Residential designation shall be predominately for single and semi-detached housing.
Public elementary, separate elementary and public secondary school, medium and high
density residential, neighbourhood centre commercial and neighbourhood park symbols
are also all identified throughout the neighbourhood.
6.2.1
6.2.2 The Northglen Neighbourhood has a population allocation of 3900 and a housing target
of 1325, consisting of 975 low density units, 250 medium density units, 50 high density
units and 50 units for intensification.
6.2.3 The Neighbourhood Centre designation is located at the northeast corner of Regional
Road 57 and Concession Road 3, within the subject lands. Neighbourhood Centres are
to serve as focal points for residential communities and provide for day to day retail and
service needs. The maximum gross leasable f100rspace shall be 5000 m2.
Neighbourhood Centres are intended' to be developed adjacent areas such as transit
nodes containing higher density residential uses, recreation, community, cultural and
institutional uses.
6.2.4 Section 9.5 of the Clarington Official Plan states that prior to the consideration and
approval of a plan of subdivision, the Municipality shall require the preparation of a
neighbourhood design plan. The plan shall be prepared In consultation with the
Municipality and other agencies. A neighbourhood design plan is a visual interpretation
of the future development of an entire neighbourhood and does not require the approval
of Council. A neighbourhood design plan is being processed.
6.2.5 The policies of the Official Plan require an Environmental Impact Study for all
development applications located within the Lake Iroquois Beach or within or abutting
any natural heritage feature on Map C and any significant natural heritage feature which
may exist but which is not presently identified on Map 'C'. The majority of the Northglen
Neighbourhood is located within the Lake Iroquois Beach. Significant Woodlots and
Significant Valleylands are also identified on Map 'C'. The purpose of an Environmental
Impact Study is to provide recommendations on the development limits for the
Northglen Neighbourhood Design Plan. Such a study has been undertaken and Staff
are awaiting final submission of the report.
6.2.6 The Official Plan requires sub-watershed study to be undertaken prior to approval of a
plan of subdivision. The plan also states that where a Master Drainage Study has been
614
REPORT NO.: PSD-058-07
PAGE 7
approved, prior to the approval of the Official Plan, a master drainage plan can be
substituted for the requirement fora subwatershed plan. A master drainage plan for
Northwest Bowmanville, was prepared by G.M Sernas & Associates in 1989, which took
into account the development potential of the majority of lands in the Northglen
Neighbourhood. However, the lands on the east side of Middle Road and north of the
proposed draft plans of subdivision by Kemp & Carruthers requires the preparation of
the Soper CreekSubwatershed Study. The lands subject to the Soper Creek
subwatershed will not be consider~d for development until such time the Subwatershed
Study is complete.
7.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
7.1 Two Public Notices were prepared for the Official Plan Amendment and two applications
for Plans of Subdivision and rezonings. Both notices referenced the application for
proposed Official Plan Amendment. Public Notice was given by mail to each landowner
within the Northglen Neighbourhood and within 120 metres of the neighbourhood
boundary. Public Notices signs for each development were posted on Concession
Road 3, Regional Road 57, Middle Road, and Liberty Street North.
7.2 As of the date of writing this report, there have been three inquires.
One individual was interested in the northern limits of the Environmental Protection Area
designation on the west side of Middle Road.
One individual inquired about the location of the east-west Type C Arterial Road at the
north limits of the neighbourhood.
One individual expressed concern with the potential extension of Nash Road over
Bowmanville Creek, the lack of road infrastructure to service the area, the concern with
development in proximity to Bowmanville Creek, and construction techniques for the
stormwater management pond, where it will drain to and the potential to contaminate
Bowmanville Creek.
8.0 AGENCY COMMENTS
8.1 The application for the Official Plan Amendment was circulated to various agencies and
municipal departments for comment.
8.2 ClaringtonOperations Development have offered no objection atthis time, however the
extent of development will be monitored for future budgeting exercises.
8.3 Comments have not been received from the following agencies:
. Durham Region Planning Department
. Durham Region Works Department
. Durham Region Transit Department
. Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority

9.0 STAFF COMMENTS
l
I t
., '
9.1 Baysong Developments Inc., 208412 Ontario Limited and the Kemp and Carruthers
families (Northglen Landowners) own large parcels of lands that are equal to
approximately 62 % of all lands in the Northglen Neighbourhood. They have submitted
one application to amend the Clarington Official Plan. The proposed amendment
submitted with the application is contained in Attachment 2. It is requesting the
following:
· Increasing the population and housing targets for Bowmanville and Northglen
Neig hbourhood;
· 'revising the collector road pattern by deleting a portion of collector road north of
the mid block east west collector and revising the location of other portions of the
collector road;
· relocating one neighbourhood park symbol, retaining one symbol in its original
location and adding three new neighbourhood park symbol for a total of 5
neighbourhood parks;
· deleting a public elementary and secondary school symbol and relocating the
separate school symbol; and
· adding four new medium density symbols, for a total of nine medium density
symbols.
The specific locations of the various uses, the mix of housing types are identified in the
corresponding applications for Draft Plan of subdivision and rezonings. A detailed
discussion of the specific issues associated with these applications can be found in
PSD-059-07 and PSD-060-07. '
9.2 Neiohbourhood Desion Plan
9.2 1 In keeping with Official Plan policies, the proponents prepared a Neighbourhood
Design Plan (NDP) to provide a visual interpretation of the entire neighbourhood. It
includes road alignments, sidewalks, lotting patterns, high and medium density blocks,
school, parks, environmental protection areas, a stormwater management facility, and
mixed use commercial. The plan does not propose to alter the nature of development in
the Rills of Liberty. No development is proposed for those lands subject to the Soper
Creek Subwatershed Study at this time.
9.2.2 In June 2005, the landowners held an information session to discuss their intentions for
the site and provide findings from technical studies including Existing Conditions and
Constraints Report on the Natural Environment Component, Hydrogeological Study, '
Functional Servicing Study and Landscaping Master Plan.
9.2.3 The NDP was peer reviewed by municipal consultants. In April 2006, a community
design peer review workshop was facilitated by Staff, planning and design consultants
616
REPORT NO.: PSD-058-07
PAGE 9
The Planning Partnership and transportation consultants, Pou,lus & Chung. The
workshop was attended by the landowners group, stakeholders and, agencies. The
recommendations of the peer review consultants were used to prepare' a revised NDP,
submitted in January 2007. The NDP forms the bas'is for this Official Plan Amendment.
9.2.4 The NDP has been circulated to various department and agencies for comment. A
detailed review of the plan is currently underway by Planning Staff. It will be the subject
of a future report to Council at a later date. '
9.3 The proponents prepared an Environmental Impact Study for the entire neighbourhood.
It was required to assist in setting the limits of development in the neighbourhood. The
draft report was submitted in May 2006. It was deficient in many aspects and
amendments to the document were required by staff at CLOCA and the Municipality of
Clarington. The revised document has not been submitted at the time of writing this
report. A revised Functional Servicing Study was submitted as result of the January
2007 NDP submission.
9.4 The Clarington Official Plan shows an east - west Type 'C' Arterial between Regional
Road 57 and Liberty Street, located at the mid point between Concession Road 3 and 4.
As part of the peer review process, the Municipality's engineering consultants, Totten
Sims Hubicki, concluded that the Type 'C' Arterial was not required to accommodate
development with the urban area boundary as proposed through the NDP. As this road
was originally identified to address traffic needs from the Bowmanville urban area, and it
is not being incorporated in the proposed NDP or subdivision applications, the proposed
Clarington Official Plan Amendment submitted by the applicants will have to be revised
to delete the Type C Arterial. In addition, the Type 'C' Arterial is also shown in the
Region of Durham Official. Staff have not received comments from the Region of
Durham to confirm the need for an Regional Official Plan amendment to delete this
road.
10.0 CONCLUSION
10.1 The purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirements underthe Public Meeting under
the Planning Act, and taking into consideration the outstanding comments, outstanding
supporting docume~tation, and the need to complete the Neighbourbourhood Design
Plan process, staff respectfully request that this report be referred back to staff for
further processing and the preparation of a subsequent report.

the Northglen Neighbourhood is the subject of Staff Report PSD-060-07.
3.3
Supportina Documentation
The ~pplicants have provided the following documentation in support of the proposed
development applications:
3.3.1
Environmental Site Assessments. Phase 1
Four separate Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments were carried out for each of
the four properties which combine to make up the land subject to these applications.
The findings of each of the assessments are summarized below (Attachment 2).
Bavsona Developments Inc.
The two properties owned by Baysong Developments Inc. encompasses the western
half of the subject lands. Two Phase 1 reports were submitted, one for each property.
The reports state there are two minor concerns centred on a fill pile near the former
barn and the adjacent operation of a wrecking yard. After further analysis, it was
determined that neither had any significant environmental impact on the property. The
reports concluded that the sites are suitable for the proposed residential development.
2084165 Ontario Limited
This property encompasses the northeast portion of the land subject to these
applications. The study concluded that neither the past or present use of the land or its
neighbouring properties has resulted in any significant environmental impacts. -As such,
the site is suitable for the proposed development.
Kemp
This property is located on the southeast portion of the lands subject to the applications.
The majority of the site is currently an apple orchard, which has existed prior to 1974.
The results of the testing revealed no environmental contaminants exceeding the
Ontario Environmental Protection Act Standards for Residential/Parklandllnstitutional
Property Use. No further testing is required and the site has been deemed appropriate
for the proposed residential development. It is recommended that any harmful debris
found during construction be removed and disposed of properly.
3.3.2 At the time of writing this report a Tree Preservation Plan, Noise Study, the Landscape
Analysis, Transportation Study and Financial Impact Analysis are outstanding. The
Municipality of Clarington is undertaking the Financial Impact Analysis.
4.0 LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES
4.1 The northwest portion ofthe lands consist of a woodlot with some cleared areas in the
northern, western and southern sections of the property. The northeast property was
historically used for agriculture, but is now vacant, naturally vegetated land. There is a
629

barn and building debris present on the land. An apple orchard is Icurrently being
operated on the southeast property (owned by the Kemp family), with vacant, naturally'
vegetated land to the north. Finally, the southwest portion of the lands consists primarily
of farmland. There exists a residential building and the remains of a barn on the
southwest corner of this property. The subject lands are relatively flat and generally
slope south towards Lake Ontario.

5.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY
5.1 Provincial Policv Statement
The 2005 Provincial Policy Statement encourages planning authorities to create
healthy, liveable and safe communities by accommodating an appropriate range and
mix of residential, employment, recreational and open space uses to meet long term
needs.
The subject applications are consistent with the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement as
they are proposing the development of a mixed use community with a range of housing
types and densities. The applicability of tJ:le Provincial Policy Statement is discussed in
greater detail in report, PSD-058-07.
5.2 Provincial Growth Plan
The Provincial Growth Plan encourages Municipalities to manage growth by directing
population growth to settlement areas. The subject applications generally conform to
the intent of. this document. A more detailed discussion of the applicability of the policy
is included in report, PSD-058-07.
6.0 OFFICIAL PLANS
6.1 Durham ReQional Official Plan
The Durham Region Official Plan designates the subject lands as Living Area. The
intent of this designation is to permit the development of primarily residential areas with
defined boundaries, incorporating the widest possible range of housing types, sizes and
tenure, developed in an efficient and cost effective manner. -
630
REPORT NO.: PSD-059-07
PAGE 5
In consideration of development applications within designated Living, Areas, regard
shall be had for the intent of this plan to achieve the following: '
· A compact urban form;
· The use of good urban design principles;
· The provision of convenient pedestrian access to public transit,
educational facilities and parks~ and
· The grid p'attern of roads.
6.2 Clarinoton Official Plan
6.2.1 The subject lands are designated Urban Residential within the Clarington Official Plan.
This designation is to ensure developments provide for a diverse range of housing. The
applicants have filed an Official Plan Amendment application to allow for the following:
· Increased housing and population targets; "
· Revisions to the road network;
· Revisions and additional medium density symbols; and
· Revisions to school and park requirements and locations.
6.2.2 The policies require that an Environmental Impact Study be undertaken for development
applications located within the Lake Iroquois Beach or within or adjacent to any natural
heritage feature on Map C of the Official Plan and any significant natural" heritage
feature which may exist but which is not presently identified on Map C. The majority of
the Northglen Neighbourhood is located on the Lake Iroquois Beach. Significant
Woodlots and Significant Valleylands are also identified on Map C. The applicants have
prepared an EIS which is being finalized.
6.2.3 In addition to the woodlot being preserved through the EIS, there are a number of trees
on the property of various species and health. As such, the preparation of a Tree
Preservation Plan is required to identify those trees that can be preserved and
contribute to the natural heritage of the neighbourhood.
6.2.4 The Official Plan encourages the conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage
resources. One residential structure on the subject lands has been recognized as a
Primary Heritage structure on the Municipality's heritage resources list. Where a
structure is recognized on the heritage resource list, the Municipality will allow
alterations, renovations, additions or repairs provided the proposed changes are
compatible and consistent with the building and surrounding area. The Municipality
discourages demolition or the inappropriate alteration of a heritage resource.
6.2.5 A Neighbourhood Centre designation is designated at the northeast corner of Regional
Road 57 and Concession Road 3, within the subject lands. Neighbourhood Centres are
to serve as focal points for residential communities and provide for day to day retail and
service needs. The maximum gross leasable f100rspace shall be 5000 m2.
Neighbourhood Centres are intended to be developed with adjacent areas such as
transit nodes containing higher density residential uses, recreation, community, cultural
and institution uses.
631
REPORT NO.: PSD-059-07
PAGE 6
6.2.6 The Clarington Official Plan states prior to consideration and approval of a plan of
subdivision, the Municipality shall require the preparation of a Neighbourhood Design
Plan. The plan shall be prepared in consultation with the Municipality and other
agencies. A Neighbourhood Design Plan is a visual interpretation of the future
development of a neighbourhood. The applicants have prepared a Neighbourhood
De$~n Plan which is under review by the Planning Department. It was the subject of a
peer review workshop last year. An open house was held in February of this year.
6.2.7 The Clarington Official Plan states that the Municipality may require a Financial Impact
Analysis to be undertaken for major development proposals. Where such an analysis
demonstrates that the development will have an adverse effect on the Municipality's
financial situation, the development will be considered to be premature and contrary to
the intent of the Official Plan. Staff have advised the applicants that such a study is
required and will be undertaken by staff with the assistance of a consultant at the
applicants' expense.
7.0 ZONING BY-LAW
7.1 Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands "Agricultural Exception (A-1) Zone". The
proposed development does not comply with the provisions of this zone and therefore
the subject Zoning By-law Amendment is required.
8.0 PUBLIC NOTICE
8.1 Joint public notice of the subject applications was given by mail to each landowner
within the Northglen Neighbourhood and within 120 metres of the subject lands. Public
notice signs were installed along the Regional Road 57, Concession Road 3 and Middle
Road frontages.
8.2 Submissions received with respect to these applications, as of the time of writing, are
documented in PSD-058-07.
9.0 AGENCY COMMENTS
9.1 The subject applications for draft plan of subdivision and rezoning were circulated to
various agencies and departments. The Official Plan Amendment application and
Neighbourhood Design Plan were circulated separately. Clarington Building and Rogers
Cable have offered no objections to the proposed applications"
9.2 Clarington Emergency Services has reviewed the proposal and requested that roads
greater than 90 metres long are to provide turn around facilities regardless of whether
the dead ends are temporary or permanent. They have also requested a more detailed
drawing of the round-a-bout connecting Street A to Street B to determine compliance
with road widths and turning radii.
632
REPORT NO.: PSD-059-07
PAGE 7
9.3 Clarington Operations has indicated that they do not have any objections at "this time.
They require an upstream stormwater interceptor complete with man-hole clean-out and
access by vacuum truck. In addition, a contribution of $20,000 for future maintenance qf
the pond will be required.
9.4 Bell Canada has determined that a telecommunication facility easement will be required
to service the subject lands. As such, the draft plan of subdivision should be revised to
reflect a 10m x 10m easement.
9.5 Clarington Engineering has reviewed the subject applications and provided the following
comments:
Road Dedication
Sight triangles proposed for arterial road intersections must be revised to meet the
Municipality's criteria. Also, a 5.0 metre road widening to be ded"icated to the
Municipality is required on the north side of Concession Road 3 and 3.0 metre
dedication is required on either side of Middle Road.
Transportation Issues
The applicant is preparing a transportation study which is to address the concerns
expressed by the Engineering Department pertaining to current traffic and future traffic
volumes, and recommendations for traffic control measures for Regional Road 57.
Concession Road 3 and Middle Road. The applicant will also be responsible for an on-
street parking plan.
The applicants have been requested to provide detail engineering design for the
proposed round-a-bout. At such time as the design is reviewed and is deemed
acceptable to the Director of Engineering Services, the preferred location for the round-
a-bout will be confirmed.
Concerns have also been expressed with regards to the number of temporary dead end
streets that are proposed. All temporary dead end streets must provide sufficient width
to accommodate a temporary turning circle.
Phasino
Phasing of the subject draft plan will be restricted by the number of external accesses
available. Full development of the draft plan will require all external accesses to be
constructed.
Development Charoe Bv-Iaw
Development cannot proceed until such time as the Municipality has approved
expenditure of funds for the provision of the urbanization and reconstruction of
Concession Road 3 and Middle Road including sidewalks and street illumination as well
as entrance works or services which have been included in the Municipality's
Development Charge By-law and have been deemed necessary by the Director of
Engineering Services.
633
REPORT NO.: PSD-059-07
PAGE 8
Gradino and Drainaoe
The Engineering Department is requiring that a Preliminary Stormwater Management
Report be completed in order to determine the size and location of the stormwater
management facility. The Department is -also requiring a Preliminary Lot Grading and
Drainage Plan that demonstrates that all lots and blocks can be graded in accordance
with :~unicipal criteria.
9.6 Comments remain outstanding from a. number of departments and agencies at this time.
1 0.0 STAFF COMMENTS
10.1 Baysong Developments Inc., 2084165 OntarioLtd, and Kirk and Douglas Kemp own the
three properties subject to these applications, equal to approximately 40% of the lands
within the Northglen Neighbourhood. These landowners have submitted one rezoning
application and one application for draft plan of subdivision. -
10.2 Density
10.2.1 The densities of this plan of subdivision must conform to the Neighbourhood Design
Plan(NDP) and the Official Plan Amendment as ultimately approved. The subject plan of
subdivision for 944 low density residential units and 398 medium density units. The
proposed densities for this plan of subdivision appear to remain within the low and
medium residential density targets. Staff have been reviewing the densities of the
proposed subdivision application together with the proposed NDP and Official Plan
Amendment. There are some discrepancies to rationalize between the subdivision
submission and, the NDP submission. Through the Official Plan Amendment, staff will
ensure that the proposed number of units and mix is consistent with the developments
in other neighbourhoods in Bowmanville. Staff are working with the consultant to
ensure the subdivision and NDP submission match.
10.2.2 Park Block 958, is required to have a frontage on a public street equal to a minimum of
25% of park perimeter. It is recommended that 3 lots on street "U" be eliminated to
achieve this. This will give the proposed park block additional street frontage and
therefore greater visual presence.
1 0.3 Mixed Use Commercial Block
Baysong Developments Inc. is proposing a mixed use commercial block in the
southwest corner of the subject lands. The lands are designated as a Neighbourhood
Centre which permits a maximum retail f100rspace of 5000 square metres and Medium
and High Density residential uses are also designated. The applicant has provided a
conceptual plan which includes medium and high density uses and retail f1oorspace, a
stormwater management pond and a parkette. The amount of retail f100rspace and the
proposed number of residential units are not identified on the conceptual plan.
Therefore, staff is unable to determine whether the proposal conforms to the Official
Plan. The concept plan and the commercial block will be subject to site plan approval.
634
REPORT NO.: PSD-059-07
PAGE 9
10.4 Road Pattern
10.4.1 The proposed road pattern is a loose representation of the desired grid system.
Proposed Streets "A' and 'B' are to serve as the collector roads within the development.
The ~roposal also indudes a network of 20 metres and 18 metres wide local roads. The
plan'6f subdivision proposes six accesses to the surrounding arterial roads being
Regional Road 57 to the west, Concession Road 3 to the south and Middle Road to the
east of the subject lands. Given the extent of the subject applications, a Transportation
Study has been requested. .
10.4.2 The use of a round-a-bout is proposed a central feature of this development. Both
Planning and Engineering staff support the use of this distinct transportation and
neighbourhood feature. However, at such time as the engineering details on the
proposed round-a-bout have been submitted, reviewed and approved by the Director of
Engineering, the preferred location(s) for the round-a-bout along the proposed east-
west collector will be determined.
10.5 Cultural Heritaoe
There is a primary heritage structure located at 3222 Middle Road. This property is not
within the subject draft plan of subdivision. However, the underlying lot fabric has been
identified and this property is to be incorporated into future development. Staff would
prefer that this structure be retained and incorporated into the plan of subdivision's
design and development.
10.6 Housino Mix and Lot Confiouration
10.6.1 The plan of subdivision proposes an appropriate mix of residential forms and densities
including primarily single detached, semi-detached and townhouse units. The applicant
has requested single detached dwelling lots with minimum frontages of 10.0,11.0,12.0,
13.5, 15.0 metres. This would result in 10.0 metres being the smallest single detached
lot frontage. The 15.0 metre frontages are the largest of the proposed single detached
lots. These lots are concentrated along the northern limit of the plan of subdivision as
well as backing onto the environmentally protected lands in the northeast corner.
The applicant has also proposed traditional semi-detached dwelling units on 18.0 metre
lot frontages. These lots are distributed throughout the mid-west portion of the plan of
subdivision, to the west of the proposed central park block.
In addition, 7.0 metre wide street townhouses as well as block townhouses are
proposed and are primarily located in the southern portion of the draft plan of
subdivision. This broad range of lot frontages will lay the foundation for a variety of
housing types and further enhance Bowmanville's increasingly diverse housing stock.
10.6.2 Lots should be reconfigured to minimize the need for future noise fencing wherever
possible. This includes re-orientating lots to face the window streets to protect the
outdoor amenity areas from potential noise pollution and reduce the need for fencing.
635
REPORT NO.: PSD-059-07
PAGE 10
10.6.3 Staff have expressed concern for instances where single lots of a differ~nt frontage are
interspersed with groupings of lots homogenous in size. It is felt that these irregularly
placed lots will create an interrupted streetscape more so than providing for an
interesting fayade, which may have been the intent.
10.7 Nei~~bourhood Desian Plan
I'
The proponents have also submitted a Neighbourhood Design Plan to provide a visual
representation of the entire neighbourhood, beyond those lands subject to these
applications. It includes road alignments, sidewalks, trails and pedestrian nodes, lotting
patterns, schools, parks, open space systems and stormwater management facilities.
Reduced road widths are also being explored through this process. Detailed
comments on the NDP have been provided to the applicants. Many of the issues
identified in this report are contained in those comments:
10.8 Financial Impact Analvsis
The servicing and road infrastructure required to support development in this
neighbourhood is forecasted in the Municipality's Development Charges background
study for sometime beyond 2011. Staff has advised the proponents that a Financial
Impact Analysis is required to ascertain if the development will have any adverse effects
on the Municipality's financial situation. In this regard Staff initiated this process for the
Northglen Neighbourhood as well as other neighbourhoods; among them are Brookhill
and North Newcastle. Village. The proponents have been advised that they are
responsible for their proportionate share of the cost of the study.
10.9 Parkina
An on-street parking plan will be required prior to draft approval to ensure that there is
sufficient on-street parking for visitors available within the proposed plan of subdivision.
11.0 CONCLUSION
11.1 The purpose of this report is to provide information for the public meeting under the
Planning Act. Staff respectfully request that this report be referred back to staff for
further processing, receipt of outstanding comments and documents and the
preparation of a subsequent report.

5.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY
5.1 Provincial Policv Statement
. The 2005 Provincial Policy Statement encourages planning authorities to create
healthy, liveable and safe communities by accommodating an appropriate range and
mix of residential, employment, recreational and open space uses to meet long term
needs.
The subject applications are consistent with the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement as
they are proposing the development of a mixed use community with a range of housing
types and densities. The applicability of the Provincial Policy Statement is discussed in
greater detail in report, PSD-058-07.
5.2 Provincial Growth Plan
The Provincial Growth Plan encourages Municipalities to manage growth by directing
population growth to settlement areas. The subject applications generally conform to
the intent of this document. A more detailed discussion of the applicability of the policy

6.0 OFFICIAL PLANS
6.1 Durham Reoional Official Plan
The Durham Region Official Plan designates the subject lands as Living Area. The
intenl,of this designation is to permit the development of primarily residential areas with
defined boundaries, incorporating the widest possible range of housing types, sizes and
tenure, developed in an efficient and cost effective manner.
In consideration of development. applications within designated Living Areas, regard
shall be had for the intent of this plan to achieve the following:
· A compact urban form;
· The use of good urban design principles;
· The provision of convenient pedestrian access to public transit,
educational facilities and parks; and
· The grid pattern of roads.
6.2 Clarinoton Official Plan
6.2.1 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands as Urban Residential and
Environmental Protection. The intent of the Urban Residential designation is to provide
for a range of housing. The applicants have filed an Official Plan Amendment
application to allow for the following:
· Increased housing and population targets;
· Revisions to the road network;
· Revisions and additional medium density symbols; and
· Revisions to school and park requirements and locations.
6.2.2 Environmental Protection Areas are recognized as the most significant components of
the natural environment. The intent of this designation is to preserve and protect the
area from the effects of human activity. No development is permitted within the areas
designated Environmental Protection Area.
An Environmental Impact Study is required for development applications located within
the Lake Iroquois Beach or any natural heritage. feature on Map C of the Official Plan
and any significant natural heritage feature which may exist but which is not presently
identified on Map C. The majority of the Northglen Neighbourhood is located on the
Lake Iroquois Beach. Significant Woodlots and Significant Valleylands are also
identified on Map C.
6.2.3 The Official Plan recognizes the existing woodlot located on the northern portion of the
subject lands as significant. The woodlot is primarily located within the proposed open
space and neighbourhood park blocks.
6.2.4 The Official Plan encourages the conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage
resources. A residential structure on the subject lands has been recognized on the
Municipality's Primary Heritage resources list. Where a structure i,s recognized on the
heritage resource list, the Municipality will allow alterations, renovations, additions or
repairs provided the proposed changes are compatible and consistent with the building
643
REPORT NO.: PSD-060-07
PAGE 5
and surrounding area. The Municipality will discourage the demolition or the
inappropriate alteration of a heritage resource.
6.2.5 The Clarington Official Plan states prior to consideration and approval of a plan of
subdivision, the Municipality shall require the preparation of a Neighbourhood Design
Plan. The plan shall be prepared in consultation with the Municipality and other
agen~ies. A Neighbourhood Design Plan is a visual interpretation of the future
deveropment of a neighbourhood as a whole.
6.2.6 The Clarington Official Plan states that the Municipality may require a Financial Impact
Analysis to be undertaken for major development proposals. Where such an analysis
demonstrates that the development will have an adverse effect on the Municipality's
financial situation, the development will be considered to be premature and contrary to
the intent of the Official Plan.
7.0 ZONING BY-LAW
7.1 Within the Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended, both of the subject
properties are zoned "Agricultural Exception (A-1) Zone". A Zoning By-law amendment
is r~quired in order to implement the proposed plan of subdivision.
8.0 PUBLIC NOTICE
8.1 Joint public notice of the subject applications was given by mail to each landowner
within the Northglen Neighbourhood and within 120 metres of the subject lands. Public
notice signs for these applications were posted on the Middle Road and Concession
Road 3 frontages.
8.2 Submissions received with respect to these applications, as of the time of writing, are
documented in PSD-058-07.
9.0 AGENCY COMMENTS
9.1 The applications for the plan of subdivision and rezoning were circulated to various
agencies and other departments for comment. The Official Plan Amendment application
and Neighbourhood Design Plan were circulated separately.
9.2 Clarington Operations has reviewed the applications and does not have any objections
at this time. They require an upstream stormwater interceptor complete with man-hole
clean-out and access by vacuum truck. In addition, a contribution of $20,000 for future
maintenance of the pond will be required.
9.3 Comments remain outstanding from the majority of departments and agencies at this
time.

REPORT NO.: PSD-060-07

1 0.0 STAFF COMMENTS
10.1 Kemp and Carruthers own two parcels subject to these applications equal to
approximately 22% of the land within the Northglen Neighbourhood. They have
sub~iUed one application for rezoning and one draft plan of subdivision.
10.2 Oensitv
10.2.1 The densities of this plan of subdivision must conform to the Neighbourhood Oesign
Plan and the Official Plan Amendment as ultimately approved. The subject plan of
subdivision for the Northglen Neighbourhood's east lands proposes 294 low density
residential units and 92 medium density residential units, yielding net densities of 22.85
units per hectare and 54.4 units per net hectare respectively. The proposed densities for
this plan of subdivision remain within the low and medium residential density targets.
Staff have been reviewing the densities of the proposed subdivision application together
with the proposed NOP and Official Plan Amendment. There are some discrepancies to
rationalize between the subdivisions and the NDP submission. Through the Official
Plan Amendment, staff will ensure that the proposed number of units and mix is
consistent with the developments in other neighbourhoods in Bowmanville. Staff are
working with the consultant to ensure the subdivision and NDP subdivisions match.
10.3 Housino Mix and Lot Confiouration
10.3.1 The plan of subdivision proposes an appropriate mix of residential forms and densities,
including single detached, street and block townhouse dwellings. The applicant is
proposing single detached lots with minimum frontages of 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.5, 15.0
and 18.0 metres. The smallest single detached lots would therefore have 10.0 metre
frontages and are generally proposed on interior lots in the southwest portion of the
plan. The 18.0 metre frontage single detached lots are to back onto the proposed open
space block to the north while a combination of 18.0 metre and 15.0 metre lot frontages
to back onto the existing estate residential to the east of the lands.
The applicant has also proposed 7.0 metre street townhouses and one townhouse
block, both of which are concentrated in the southwest corner of the plan. The housing
variety represented in the plan of subdivision would contribu~e to the enhancement of
Bowmanville's housing stock~
10.3.2 Staff requires the applicant to revise the plan of subdivision to propose that the largest
single detached lots (18.0 metre frontages) back onto these existing residential
dwellings. This will allow for a more gradual increase in density from east to west.
10.3.3 Staff has expressed concerns about the number of lots with f1ankage or rear yards
exposed to Concession Road 3 and Middle Road, Type Barterial and Type C arterial
respectfully. In an attempt to minimize the requirement for noise attenuation fencing for
outdoor amenity space exposed to arterial road noise levels, staff requires the applicant
to revise lots to face the arterial roads. This creates a window street effect in addition to
protecting the rear amenity space from elevated noise levels, and eliminating the need
for noise fencing.
10.4 Road Pattern
The proposed road pattern is representative of the grid system required by the policies
645
REPORT NO.: PSD-060-07
PAGE 7
of the Clarington Official Plan. The proposal includes a series of local streets in the
south and crescents in the northern portion of the plan of subdivision. The plan also
includes one curvilinear 23 metre wide collector road with access to I)oth Concession,
Road 3 and Middle Road and one'local road connection to Middle Road.
10.5 Cultural Heritaoe
Ther-r is a secondary heritage structure located at 3187 Middle Road. This property is
not within the subject draft plan of subdivision. However, the underlying lot fabric has
been identified and this property is to be incorporated into future development. The
proposed lotting pattern requires demolition of the house for future road construction.
Staff would prefer that this structure be retained and incorporated into the neighburhood
design and development.
10.6 Neiohbourhood Desion Plan
The proponents have submitted a Neighbourhood Design Plan to provide a visual
representation of the entire neighbourhood, beyond those lands subject to these
applications. It includes road alignments, sidewalks, trails and pedestrian nodes, lotting
patterns, schools, parks, open space systems and stormwater management facilities.
Reduced road widths are also being explored through this process. Detailed comments
on the NDP have been provided to the applicants. Many of the issues identified in this
report are contained in those comments.
10.7 Financial Impact Analvsis
The servicing and road infrastructure required to support development in this
neighbourhood is forecasted in the Municipality's Development Charges background
study for sometime beyond 2011. Staff has advised the proponents that a Financial
Impact Analysis is required to ascertain if the development will have any adverse affects
on the Municipality's financial situation. In this regard Staff initiated this process for the
NorthglenNeighbourhood as well as other neighbourhoods; among them are Brookhill
and North Newcastle Village. The proponents have been advised that they are
. responsible for their proportionate share of the cost of the study.
10.8 Parkino
An on-street parking plan will be required prior to draft approval to ensure that there is
sufficient on-street parking for visitors available within the proposed plan of subdivision.
11.0 CONCLUSION
11.1 The purpose of this report is to provide information for the public meeting under the
Planning Act. Staff respectfully request that this report be referred back to staff for
further processing, receipt of outstanding comments and documents and the
preparation of a subsequent report.

1.0 APPLICATION DETAILS
1.1 All applications received by the Municipality for minor variance are scheduled for a
hearing within 30 days of being received by the Secretary-Treasurer. The purpose of
the minor variance applications and the Committee's decisions are detailed in
Atta~ment 1. The decisions of the Committee are summarized below.
DECISIONS OF COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT FOR
MAY 3, 2007
Application Number Staff Recommendation Decision of Committee
A2007-0012 Approve Approved
A2007 -0013 Approve with conditions Approved with conditions
A2007-0014 Approve with conditions Approved with conditions
A2007-0015 Approve with conditions Approved with conditions
A2007-0016 Approve Approved
A2007-0017 Approve Approved
1.2 Application A2007 -0014 was filed to permit the construction of an accessory. building by
reducing the minimum required exterior side yard setback from 10 metres to 5.0 metres
and by increasing the maximum lot coverage from 40% to 55% of the main dwelling.
Staff had recommended approval of this variance subject to a number of conditions
including that the existing tool shed on the property be removed within 60 days of the
Building Permit being issued for the new, accessory building. The applicants suggested
to the Committee that 60 days may not be enough time to complete the new building,
empty out the tool shed and have it removed I torn down as they would be completing
most of the work themselves. Instead of the recommended 60 days, Committee chose
to modify the conditions so that the applicants would have a maximum of 120 days to
remove the tool shed following the issuance of a Building Permit.
It is Staffs opinion that the modified timeframe provided by the Committee meets the
original intention that the tool shed be removed in a timely fashion following the
construction of the new accessory building. It is therefore Staffs opinion that an appeal
of this decision is unwarranted. Should an appeal be made by another party, Staff will
defend the modified condition before the Ontario Municipal Board.

2.0 COMMENTS
2.1 Staff have reviewed the Committee's decisions and are satisfied that applications
A2007-0012 through A2007-0017 inclusive, are in conformity with both Official Plan
policies, consistent with the intent of the Zoning By-law, are minor in nature and
desiraple.
2.2 Council's concurrence with the decisions of the Committee of Adjustment for
applications A2007-0012 through A2007-0017 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.
2.3 The applicant for file A2007 -0010, Roy Nicols Motors at 2728 Courtice Road, has
contacted the Municipality and requested in writing that his application be withdrawn
immediately. The letter did not provide a reason for the withdrawal.

1.0 APPLICATION
1.1 Applicant:
1.2 Owh~r:
Susan Woodley
Janice Seto
1.3 Proposal:
The Applicant proposes a rezoning from "Urban Residential
Type One (R 1 ~ 12)" to a zone appropriate for the proposed use as a
professional office. In addition, an Official Plan Amendment is
proposed that would change the land use designation from
"Community Facility" to "Mixed Use" within the Bowmanville East
,Town Centre Secondary Plan.
1.4 Area:
Downtown Bowmanville
1.5 Location:
55 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, Lot 12, Concession 1,
Part Lots 157 and 158, Plan Grant, Block Q, now
RP10R2217, Part I.
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 On December 22nd, 2006, Susan Woodley submitted applications for an Official Plan
Amendment, Zoning By-Law Amendment and Site Plan Approval for the lands located
at 55 Temperance Street in Downtown Bowmanville. At a public meeting held on March
5, 2007, the applications were referred back to Staff for further processing and since
that time the Applicant has completed several revisions to their site plan drawings
based on comments received from Staff and circulated agencies. The revisions to the
proposal involved maintaining the existing rear yard as opposed to removing several
trees, and children's swing-set and a shed. Instead, the applicant now proposes to
provide parking in the existing driveway.
2.2 The Applicant has submitted a Planning Rationale Report, completed by their
Consultant, which outlines the need for these applications. Staff has reviewed this
Report in detail and incorporated all relevant information from the Rationale Report into
this Public Meeting Report to Council. The Rationale Report is available at the Planning
Services Department counter should anyone wish to view it.
3.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING AREAS
3.1 Site Characteristics
Located at 55 Temperance Street in Downtown Bowmanville, the subject property
currently has one vacant single-detached residential dwelling with an existing small
shed located in the rear yard. The Applicant is proposing that the single-detached
dwelling be converted to a professional office use (see Figure 1.0 on following page).

REPORT NO.: PSD-062-07

, An existing shed, children's swing-set and several mature trees are located in the rear
yard and the Applicant has informed Staff that it is their intention to maintain the trees,
children's swing-set and shed (see Figure 2.0 below). Additionally, the Applicant has
notified Staff that the exterior facades of the building are to be maintained in their
entirety. '

4.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY
4.1 Provincial Policv Statement
The accommodation of a range and mix of residential and employment land uses are to
be encouraged. Other properties in the immediate area have already undergone
conversions such as that being proposed by the Applicant. This particular conversion
would be desirable in achieving a good mix of residential and employment land uses in
Downtown Bowmanvil/e.
Further, the conversion of the single-detached residential dwelling to a professional
office would be a cost-effective method of minimizing land consumption and servicing
costs as the building is already constructed and will fully utilize existing municipal
services.
The Applicant's proposal represents a unique opportunity to ensure the protection of
significant built heritage in Downtown Bowmanvil/e and should be viewed as being in
conformity with the intentions of the Provincial Policy Statement. .
4.2 Provincial Growth Plan
Employment growth is to be accommodated by directing a significant portion of new
growth to built-up areas of the community. The existing single-detached residential
dwelling is not being used as such and a conversion to a professional office would be
seen as accommodating new employment growth in the existing built-up area of
Bowmanville.
The Growth Plan encourages good access to transit systems, as well as ensuring a mix
of uses and the creation of a pedestrian-friendly urban environment. The proximity of
the new professional office to the existing Highway 2 regional transportation corridor
provides convenient access to Durham Region Transit and GO Bus Services. The
existing building is within walking distance of many homes, has existing sidewalks
installed and the parking for the new professional office would be accommodated in the
side yard without taking away from the pedestrian environment.
In summary, the Growth Plan encourages cities and towns to develop as complete
communities with a diverse mix of land uses, a range and mix of employment and
housing types, as well as easy access to local stores and services. The Applicant's
proposal for a change in use conforms to the intentions of the Growth Plan.

REPORT NO.: PSD-062-07

5.0 OFFICIAL PLAN
5.1 Durham ReQional Official Plan
The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the property as a "Regional Centre."
Thes~ areas are intended to contain the main concentrations of urban activities within
the area municipalities, including the professional office use that is being proposed by
the Applicant.
The Applicant's proposal for accommodating a professional office within the existing
building is considered to be in conformity with the Durham Regional Official Plan. The
Region has confirmed this in their comments to the Department.
5.2 Clarinoton Official Plan
The Clarington Official Plan currently designates the property as "Main Central Area"
and more specifically as "Community Facility" in the Bowmanville East Town Centre
Secondary Plan. This designation permits a range of community-based uses such as
libraries, cultural facilities, day cares, and schools, but the "Community Facility"
designation within the Bowmanville East TownCentre Secondary Plan does not permit
a professional office. As a result, the Applicant has proposed that the "Community
Facility" designation be changed to "Mixed Use" which would accommodate the
professional office use.
The requested "Mixed Use" land use designation within the Bowmanville East Town
Centre Secondary Plan would allow for the conversion of the existing single-detached
residential dwelling. The Applicant intends on maintaining the existing fayade of the
building and ensures that any alterations will compliment the historic character of the
Bowmanville East Town Centre.
6.0 ZONING BY-LAW
6.1 'The property is currently located within the "Urban Residential Type One Exception (R 1-
12)" Zone and as such a professional office is not a permitted use. The Applicant has
requested that the property be zoned appropriately for the professional office use which
is being proposed.
7.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
7.1 Notice was given to the public by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the
subject property and a public notice sign was installed by the Applicant on the
Temperance Street frontage for a period of one month prior to the public meeting that
was held on March 5, 2007.
664
REPORT NO.: PSD-062-07
PAGE 6
7.2 At the time of writing this report, Staff has not received any objections jn regard to the
proposed conversion from a single-detached residential dwelling to a professional
office.
8.0 AGE",CY COMMENTS
8.1 The applications and associated materials were circulated to a number of agencies for
comment. Clarington Emergency Services, Central Lake Ontario Conservation and
Veridian Corporation had no objections to the proposal.
8.2 Clarington Engineering Services has commented that the existing entrance to the
subject property is satisfactory for the proposed use. They have also reviewed the
submitted Site Servicing and Grading Plan and found it to be generally satisfactory.
8.3 The Building Division will require a "Change of Use" permit or a "Building" permit to
convert the existing single family dwelling to a professional office. This may also involve
the Applicant having to pay Municipal, Regional and the two school board development
charges prior to the issuance of the building permit. This determination is made by the
Building Division on receipt of the building permit application and required
, accompanying detailed plan drawings.
8.4 The Clarington Heritage Committee has commented that the structure is identified as a
Secondary property in the Municipality's heritage resource inventory. The Clarington
Official Plan policies regarding any changes to the exterior of the building do apply,
however; the Committee notes that no changes are being proposed by the Applicant.
8.5 The Clarington Accessibility Advisory Committee has requested that the Applicant
explore the possibility of installing an access ramp to facilitate access to the property
once the change in use to a professional office takes place.
8.6 Durham Region Works Department commented that Regional Development Charges
will be applicable to the subject development for any proposed additions to the existing
structure and due prior to issuance of a building permit by the local municipality. In
addition, should the Applicant require additional or larger municipal water and sewer
services, a detailed site-servicing drawing must be submitted to the Region for their
review and approval.
8.7 Durham Planning Department has screened the applications against all relevant
Provincial Plans and responsibilities and is satisfied that no Provincial interests are
being compromised as a result of this application. The application is exempt from
Regional approval. If a decision is made and a Clarington Official Plan Amendment is
adopted it will be forwarded as required to the Region.
665
REPORT NO.: PSD-062-07

9.0 STAFF COMMENTS
9.1 Staff has noted that the Applicant's original proposal to accommodate the required
number of parking spaces would have required the removal of several mature trees, a
children's swing-set and an existing shed. Given the nature and anticipated intensity of
the professional office use as described by the Applicant, it has been determined by
Staff_ that the existing on-street parking, adjacent municipal parking lot and existing
spaces in the driveway are sufficient. It is therefore the opinion of Staff that a reduction
in the number of parking spaces as required by Zoning By-Law 84-63 be granted, to
allow for the preservation of the trees, children's swing-set and existing shed in the rear
yard.
9.2 Staff has expressed concern that the small lot size might in the future threaten the
ability of the lot to adequately provide parking and landscaping should the professional
office use or the building it occupies be expanded. For this reason, it is the position of
Staff that the Zoning By-Law Amendment and future Site Plan Approval limit the scale
and intensity of the professional office use. Should a significant change in use take
place there may be a need to rezone the property and amend any site plan agreements
pertaining to the property.
10.0 CONCLUSION
10.1 Based on the comments contained in this Report, it is respectfully recommended that
Official Plan Amendment 56 and the rezoning application be APPROVED.

1.3 Rezoning:
Removal of Holding (H) symbol from "Holding - Urban Residential
Type One ((H)R1)" and "Holding - Urban Residential Type Two
((H)R2)".
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 On April 20, 2007, staff received an application from Eiram Development
Corporation for the removal of the "Holding (H) symbol on Lots 1 to 59 as shown
on the draft 40M-Plan (Phase 6) for Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 18T-
89041. The Owner has indicated they are ready to proceed with the registration
and construction of this phase, thus the necessity for the application.
3.0 STAFF COMMENTS
3.1 The Plan of Subdivision was draft approved by the Region of Durham on June
28th, 1990. The applicant has entered into a subdivision agreement with the
Municipality. Provisions within the agreement require the developer to ensure
that sufficient financial guarantees are provided to the Municipality for the
completion of all works on the site.
3.2 The subject property is presently zoned "Holding-Urban Residential Type ((H)
R1) and "Holding - Urban Residential Type ((H)R2). Policies within the
Municipality's Official Plan permit the use of holding symbols to ensure that prior.
to development the following matters are addressed and approved to the
satisfaction of the Municipality:
. Services and municipal works;
. Measures to protect natural area;
. Measures to mitigate the impact of development;
. Submission of technical studies;
. Execution of appropriate agreements; and/or
. Any other requirements as may be deemed necessary by Council
including the implementation of the policies of this plan.
Similarly, within the Region's Official Plan, policies are in place noting that prior
to a local Municipality's passage of a by-law to remove a holding symbol, Council
is to ensure that:
681
REPORT NO.: PSD-064-o7
PAGE 3
· The development is consistent with the orderly and phased development
of the Municipality; .
· The Owner has satisfied all of the requirements of the Mu~icipality and
entered into any necessary agreements in that regard; and
· The Owner has satisfied all the requirements of the Regional Municipality
of Durham with respect to the provisions of sewer and water services,
regional roads and entered into any necessary agreements.
jt
,I.'
The approval of a by-law to remove the holding symbol is appropriate at this
time, as the provisions within the Municipality's and Region's Official Plan have
been satisfied.
3.3 The Finance Department has advised that taxes on the site are current.
4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 In consideration of the comments noted above, approval of the removal of the
"Holding (H)" symbol, as shown on the attached by-law and schedule
(Attachment 2), is recommended.

2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 On February 6th, 2007, Staff received a request from Halminen Urban Communities Inc.
for the removal of the Holding (H) symbol from the subject lands. The applicant has
recently completed the site plan approval process for the subject lands, thus this
application is being brought forward.
3.0 COMMENTS
3.1 The subject lands are a block in a plan of subdivision that received draft approval, Block
185 of 18T-82037. As such, monies for cash-in-Iieu of parkland were secured during
the subdivision process and are not part of the site plan control process being
undertaken for the development of this block.
3.2 The removal of holding application is being brought forward at this time, as the site plan
process is nearing completion. The applicant will be building 27 townhouse units. Staff
anticipates that the site plan agreement will be completed by the end of June 2007. As
Council will have recessed at this time, Staff are recommending the Holding symbol be
removed at this time to facilitate development at the site during the summer of 2007.
3.3 A building permit will not be issued for this site until a site plan agreement has been
entered into and all required letters of credit for performance guarantees and
development charges have been received by the Municipality of Clarington.
3.4 Policies within the Municipality of Clarington's Official Plan permit the use of holding
symbols to ensure that prior to development the following matters are addressed and
approved to the satisfaction of the Municipality:
· Services and municipal works;
· Submission of technical studies; "
· Measures to mitigate the impact of development;
· Execution of appropriate agreements; and/or
· Any other requirements as may be deemed necessary by Council
including the implementation of the policies of this plan.

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 and park blocks.
2.2 In addition to the change in lotting fabric, the amendment to the zoning by-law is for
reduced exterior, interior and front yard setbacks, reduced sight triangles and increased
lot coverage to ensure the built form is consistent with the Intracorp development to the
east.
2.3 The Region of Durham issued Draft Approval for Plan of Subdivision 1BT-870B7 in
693
REPORT NO.: PSD-066-07
PAGE 3
February 1990. It was subsequently amended in July, 1990, 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 the Draft Plan has been registered as 40M-1852, 40M-1910, and 40M-2020
totalling 260 residential units shown on Attachment 2.

3.0 LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES
3.1 The subject lands are relatively flat and have been graded to accommodate this
development.
3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows:
North - Draft approved residential plan of subdivision and one (1) single
detached dwelling
South - Residential
East - Residential and St. Elizabeth Separate Elementary School
West - Scugog Street and beyond, residential and St. Stephen's Separate
Secondary School
4.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY
4.1 Provincial Policy Statement
The Provincial Policy Statement requires 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 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.

5.0 OFFICIAL PLANS
"
5.1 Durham ReQional Official Plan
The Durham Region Official Plan designates the subject lands as Living Area. This
designation is to be predominantly used for housing purposes and to provide a safe,
I
attractive and efficient living environment. The proposed development is permitted.
5.2 'ClarinQton Official Plan
The subject lands are designated as Urban Residential 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 5,400 and housing target of 1,900 units.
The proposed use 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 that applies to the Liberty
Crossings development east of the subject site.
7.0 PUBLIC MEETING AND SUBMISSIONS
7.1 Two area residents spoke in opposition to the proposal at the statutory Public Meeting
held on April 23, 2007. Their concerns are summarized below:
· A resident of Goodwin Avenue spoke in opposition to the proposal, stating that
the original Draft Plan proposed large detached lots. He was also concerned with
the influx of more children in the neighbourhood and lack of planning for schools.
· A second resident of Goodwin Avenue spoke in opposition to the proposal,
expressing concern that the additional homes would add congestion to the area
and the possibility that the new development might not compliment the existing
residential neighbourhood.
After the Public Meeting, staff met with both individuals, to discuss their concerns and
clarify the proposed amendments. Staff advised that the 18 metre semi-detached lots
which are currently draft approved for the area subject to the amendment, are proposed
for 9.0 metre single detached units and as such the housing form will appear the same.
Staff also advised that the overall number of units would be reduced by eight (8). In
response to the concern regarding the lack of school facilities, staff have confirmed that
the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board has purchased the school block in the
Draft Approved Plan and the Board plans to submit an application for a new elementary
school shortly.

8.0 AGENCY COMMENTS
"
8.1 The subject applications were circulated to various agencies and other departments by
Planning Services. Rogers, Bell Canada, Veridian Connections,Enbridge Gas and
Clarington Operations have offered no objection to the proposed amendments.
8.2 The Engineering Services Department has approved the engineering drawings made
under the draft approved plan for this site. They offered no objection to the proposed
amendment to draft approval and zoning by-law amendments. However, new
engineering submissions are required to reflect the proposed amendment to the draft
plan.
As a condition of approval the owner is required to undertake preparation of a
conceptual park plan including proposed grading to demonstrate that the proposed park
size and configuration and topography will allow for construction of park facilities. The
owner will also be required to grade the site in accordance with the park plan including
stormwater servicing. The park must be fenced and seeded. Servicing such as hydro,
sanitary sewer and water should be stubbed at the property line along the park frontage.
8.3 Clarington Emergency Services has recommended that turning radius at the end of cul-
de-sacs greater than 90 metres in length should have a turning radius diameter of 30
metres. The existing plan was draft approved with a 27 metre turning radius. There
appears to be sufficient lot depth to make this revision.
8.4 The Region of Durham has no objection to the revised plan. The conditions of approval
dated February 23, 1990, as amended on July 10, 1990, April 19, 1996 and July 10,
2000 are still applicable. Condition NO.1 of the Draft Conditions of Approval will need to
be amended to correspond with the revised plan. In addition, a new condition to
implement the noise impact study is to be added.
8.5 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority offers no objection however advised that
their previous conditions of draft approval for 18T -87087 are still applicable to the
proposed revised plan.
8.6 The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board has advised that the Board has
purchased the site for a public elementary school. The developer is required to rough
grade the site, all municipal services are to be provided to the site and the installation of
a 1.8 metre chain linked fence on the perimeter of the school block is required where it
abuts proposed residential lands.
9. 0 STAFF COMMENTS
9.1 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, exterior and interior side yard setbacks, increased lot coverage and
696
REPORT NO.: PSD-066-07
PAGE 6
reductions in the sight triangles are being requested to achieve 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. It resulted in a site specific amendment to By-law 84-63, which was
approved by Council in April 2005. To avoid duplication in the zoning amendments,
staff have used the same exception zone categories as in the Liberty Crossing
SUD~jvision where applicable.
9.2 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
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 lots.
Staff support the proposal to create a new 9.0 metre single lot category only in a
situation where semi-detachedllink lots have been previously approved. For any new
development, the minimum frontage on small lot single dwellings should be 10 metres.
For the 9.0 metre single detached lot category, a corner lot frontage of 11. 5 metres for
Lot 8 is being requested. Typically, in the R2-36 zone category, the minimum lot
frontage for a corner lot is 13.8 metres.
The applicant has increased the lot frontage for the lots located on the eyebrow on
Honeyman Drive to a frontage of 11.0 metres. This allows for adequate frontage to
accommodate a double width driveway of 4.6 metres and sufficient area for snow
storage.
The 9.0, 11.0 , 12.0 and 15.0 metre frontages maintains a variety of housing types and
provides a few 15.0 metre frontage lots which previously did not exist.
9.3 Interior Side Yard Reductions
The interior side yard setbacks for the 9.0 metre lots, maintains 0.6 metres on one side
and 1.2 metres on the other side. This is similar to a typical link unit which was
otherwise approved for these lots.
9.4 Front and Exterior Side yard Reductions
Front Yard Setbacks
The applicant is requesting reduced front yard setbacks to encourage the construction
of porches and balconies and to bring the homes closer to the street. This will assist in
providing an attractive residential environment and encourage social interaction.
The setbacks have been requested for all lots and are outlined below.
697
REPORT NO.: PSD-066-07

TABLE 1
PROPOSED MINIMUM FRONT YARD SETBACKS'
'"
The front yard setback for the dwelling is consistent with what is typically permitted in
many residential zones. The General Provision of the Zoning By-law currently permits
1.5 metres encroachment for steps and or porches to the minimum required front yard
maintaining a 3.0 metre setback to the street line. The proposed request would permit
steps currently associated with a porch to be setback 1.5 metres from the property line.
Exterior Side Yard Setbacks
The applicant has also requested reduced exterior side yards.
Staff are supportive of reduced setbacks from the current standards to provide a
compact and pedestrian oriented environment with attractive porch features. However, if
the home is situated close to the street, the residents will not feel comfortable using the
porch. As such, the exterior side yard setback varies depending if a sidewalk is located
adjacent to the exterior side of the lot.

9.5 Sioht Trianole Reduction
Zoning By-law 84-63, requires a minimum 7.5 metre sight triangle. 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
metre wide driveway can accommodate two cars parked 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. Staff have no objection to
the reduction to 6.25 metres, as the 4.6 metre driveway can still be achieved.
698
REPORT NO.: PSD-066-07
PAGE 8
9.6 Increased Lot Coveraoe
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. The increase in size allows for more practical
use of the porch or balcony. Architectural Control Guidelines encourage porches on
exterior side yards, as they allow for attractive homes on corner lots and improve the
overall streetscape. Staff have no objection to this request.
9.7 Themed streetscaoe
Liberty Crossing is marketed as a traditional Old Ontario town. A variety of streetscape
features such as lighting, fencing and signage were incorporated into the development.
These elements will be continued through this next phase of development. An entry
feature, similar to the one at Bons Avenue and Liberty Street which exists today and is
approved for Concession Road 3 and Lowrie Street will be placed at Scugog Street and
Bons Avenue. The feature is intended to provide a sense of place and a gateway for the
proposed development.
The proposed entry feature will be placed on private property and will be transferred to
the future homeowner of Lot 266. As a condition of draft approval, the applicant will be
required to place a warning clause in the purchase and sale agreement advising the
purchaser that it will be the owner's responsibility to maintain the entry feature.
The Engineering Services Department advises that features such as fencing, walls and
signage will not be permitted within the municipal boulevards due to maintenance costs.
The applicant is to provide details for all urban design features through their engineering
submissions for approval.
9.8 The Finance Department advises that all taxes have been paid.
10. RECOMMENDATIONS
10.1 Prior to scheduling a recommendation report to Committee and Council on a draft plan
subdivision application a list of the proposed conditions of draft approval are submitted
to the applicant for their review and concurrence with the same. The purpose of this
exercise is to determine if there are any conditions of draft approval that the applicant
does not agree with and that they be identified for further discussion purposes. The
applicant concurs with Conditions of Draft Approval.

1.4
Site Area:
0.22 ha
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 In July of 2006, the Clarington Building Division received a complaint regarding the
construction of an addition to an existing accessory building on the subject property. As
no building permit had been issued the owner was advised to make application for a
building permit for the expansion. The use of the accessory building as a "tractor and
lawn equipment sales and repair establishment" was not permitted within the current
zoning of the property. Additionally, the size of the newly expanded accessory building
exceeds the maximum permitted floor area, which is limited to 40% of the floor area of
the principal dwelling.
2.2 After several meetings with Staff and elected officials, on December 22, 2006, the
Planning Services Department received a rezoning application for the subject lands. It
is the applicants' intention to live and work from the same property they have owned
since 1999. The existing garage was recently expanded to accommodate the space
required to carry on the commercial use.
2.3 The applicant has also submitted a site plan application (SPA 2007-0001) and
appropriate elevation drawings demonstrating the expanded buildings appearance and
practical utility.
2.4 Notice of the application was posted 'on the property and mailed to all owners within 120
metres. No inquiries with respect to this application have been received.
3.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING AREAS
3.1 The subject property is located on the east side of Courtice Road south of Highway 2
and north of Bloor Street. The property currently contains a single detached dwelling
and a detached accessory building. An outdoor storage area associated with the
proposed use is located behind the accessory building.
The current drainage for the property runs west-to-east from Courtice Road, through the
hard surfaced parking area, south of the outdoor storage area and into the lower-lying
agricultural lands to the east of the subject property.

4.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY
4.1 Provincial Policv Statement
l
Thfi Provincial Policy Statement states that, within rural areas, permitted uses and
activities shall:
. ,relate to rural land uses;
. be appropriate to the available and planned infrastructure;
. comply with the minimum distance separation formulae; and
. promote land uses that are compatible with the rural landscape and can be
sustained by rural service levels.
Further, the Provincial Policy Statement permits new agriculture-related uses provided
that they are compatible with and do not hinder surrounding agricultural operations, are
limited in scale and whose uses are included in municipal planning documents.
The rezoning of this site to allow for a farm-related equipment sales and service
establishment as a permitted use is consistent with the policies found within the
Provincial Policy Statement.
4.2 Places to Grow
The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe directs new development to
settlement areas except where necessary for development related to rural land uses.
The rezoning of this site to allow for a farm-related equipment sales and service
establishment as a permitted use is consistent with the policies found within the Growth
Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
5.0 OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY
5.1 Durham Reaional Official Plan
The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the subject property "Prime Agricultural
Areas". This designation is intended to preserve lands with ,high agricultural significance
and/or existing farm operations for continued agricultural and agricultural-related uses.
The subject property is under 2 ha in size and therefore would not possess the required
lot area to be recognized as a farm operation. The proposal for a farm-related
equipment sales and service establishment conforms with the Durham Regional Official
Plan.
5.2 Clarinaton Official Plan
The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject property "General Agricultural Area".
Lands with this designation are intended to be used only for farm and farm-related uses,
including farm-related commercial uses provided that such uses:
. are compatible with existing and/or designated land uses in the surrounding areas
and do not generate excessive amounts of odour, traffic or other nuisances;
. do not conflict with surrounding agricultural uses;
699016
REPORT NO.: PSD-067-07
PAGE 5
· are not located on Class 1 or Class 2 soil;
· conform with the minimum distance separation formulae; and
. do not abut any designated rural settlement area.
It should be noted that the agricultural lands located across from the applicants'
property, on the west side of Courtice Road, are designated as "Urban Residential" in
the Clarington Official Plan.
, "
6.0 ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY
6.1 The property is currently zoned "Agricultural (A)" which does not permit a farm-related
equipment sales and service establishment. As a result, the applicants have submitted
this rezoning application for consideration.
7.0 AGENCY COMMENTS
7.1 The rezoning application was circulated to a number of agencies for comment.
Clarington Emergency Services, Clarington Operations Department and Hydro One had
no objection to this application. The Durham Regional Health Department has stated
that their review of this application is not required as no water connections will be made
to the accessory building.
7.2 The Durham Regional Planning Department and the Durham Regional Works
Department have no objection to this application provided that the applicants convey
sufficient road widening to the Regional Municipality of Durham. Courtice Road,
otherwise known as Regional Road 34, is identified as a Type "A" arterial roadway
requiring a minimum right-of-way of 36 metres. As such, the applicants must provide for
18 metres from the centreline of the original roadway, along the entire frontage of the
property, free and clear of all encumbrances, to the Region of Durham.
7.3 The Clarington Engineering Services Department have no objection to this proposal,
however, they have provided comments applicable to the site plan application. These
include the following conditions; that all existing stormwater drainage patterns must be
maintained and remain unaltered; and, cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication be provided
to the appropriate amount.
7.4 The Clarington Building Division has no objection to this application provided that a
building permit be approved for the additions to the existing garage, and that the
applicant pay all development charges prior to the issuance of a building permit.
8.0 STAFF COMMENTS
REPORT NO.: PSD-067-07
PAGE 6
spaces must be a handicapped space. Following the road widening conveyance to the
Region of Durham the applicants' parking lot will lose one of these parking spaces. In
order to accommodate the reduced parking area Staff have no objection to reducing the
total number of required parking spaces from seven (7) to six (6) in the zoning by-law.
The40ning By.,law'provisions require one (1) loading space for the proposed use.
Give~1' the size and nature of the operation Staff have no objection to exempting the
applicants from this requirement.
8.2 In conjunction with their business, the applicants have requested that an outdoor
storage area be permitted behind both fenced and vegetative screening. The outdoor
storage would be in the northeast corner of the property and adjacent to the accessory
building. Staff have no objection to the outdoor storage provided that it is appropriately
screened. This issue will be addressed through the Site Plan process.
8.3 The current setback from the centreline of the roadway to the applicants' property is
approximately 10 metres (actual distance to be established by an Ontario Land
Surveyor). A further 8 metres must be conveyed to the Region of Durham to satisfy the
above requirement. Any structures or fences which end up being located inside the
roadway, as a result of the widening, would require an encroachment permit.
The resulting impact of the road widening conveyance would be to reduce the overall
depth of the property from 41.15 metres to 33.15 metres and from an area of 0.22 ha to
0.18 ha.
8.4 There are two commercial signs present on the property. The first is a ground
identification sign located on the Courtice Road frontage. The second is a small wall
sign which is located on the west side of the accessory building. Both of these signs will
be incorporated in the Site Plan approval process.
8.5 The Finance Department advises that the taxes for the subject property have been paid
up-to-date.
9.0 CONCLUSION
9.1 Staff are satisfied that this application maintains the intent of the Official Plan policies.
Based on the comments provided in this report, it is respectfully recommended that the
rezoning application be APPROVED.

1.0 PURPOSE
This report summarizes the key findings of the 2006 Growth Trends Review.
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 The Planning Services Department conducts on-going monitoring activities to assess
the effectiveness of the Municipality of Clarington's Official Plan, as well as other
municipal and Region of Durham policies. These monitoring activities also assist in
identifying emerging issues and trends within the Municipality of Clarington. Building
permit activity, population growth and other such related data are often used as an
indicator of housing and employment activity within Clarington, level of local investment,
and economic performance; this and other information has been compiled into the 2006
Growth Trends Review.
2.2 The data collected and analyzed in the Review are based on building permit and related
housing market information that is collected from a variety of difference sources. These
sources include:
· Municipality of Clarington's own-source data;
· Durham Region;
· Statistics Canada;
· Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation;
· Royal Bank of Canada's Econoscope; and
· The Bank of Canada.
3.0 KEY FINDINGS OF THE 2006 GROWTH TRENDS REVIEW
3.1 The 2006 Growth Trends Review (Attachment 1) examines Clarington's growth activity
and compares its performance against other area municipalities within Durham Region.
In addition, the Review examines past, current and forecasted housjng market activity
and provides a short-term outlook on future development activity for Clarington and
Durham Region.
3.2 Growth Activity in Clarinaton
The total value of all building permits issued in Clarington increased by 15.57% from
$203.22 million in 2005 to $234.86 million in 2006. This has been the Municipality's
highest year ever in terms of the total value of building permits issued.
The increase in total building permit value for Clarington can be attributed to the
increase in the overall residential and non-residential building permit values. The
residential building permit value increased from $141.85 million in 2005 to $149.99
million in 2006, and the non-residential building permit value increased from $61.37
million in 2005 to $84.88 million in 2006.

3.3' Growth Activity in Durham Reo ion
'"
Durham Region experienced a decrease of 3.75% in total building permit value from
$1.56 billion in 2005 to $1.50 billion in 2006. The $1.50 billion in 2006 was the third
highest total building permit value in the Region's history, with $1.56 billion in 2005 and
the highest of $1.70 billion in 2003. Since 2000, the total value of building permits
issued in Durham Region has averaged about $1.31 billion.
The decline in total building permit value in 2006 was primarily attributed to the
decreased investment in the residential sector ($1.07 billion in 2006 compared to $1.11
billion in 2005). The non-residential sector experienced only a small increase to
$497.30 million in 2006 from $446.50 million in the previous year of 2005.
3.4 Clarinqton's Share of Growth Activity within Durham Reqion
In 2006, Clarington's share of the total building permit value in Durham Region
experienced an increase from 13.17% in 2005 to 15.16% in 2006 (representing a 1.99%
change from 2005 to 2006). Clarington had the second highest gain in the overall
share, second to Ajax (2.10%). While Whitby experienced the largest decease in the
total building permit value share of 5.35%.
In Durham Region as a whole, building permits were issued for a total of 5,244 new
residential units, a decrease from the 5,783 new residential units in 2005. Clarington's
share of the total number of new residential units in 2006 was 16.34% (857 new
residential units), an increase from the previous year's share of 13.88% (802 new
residential units) in 2005. Despite maintaining a strong absolute number of new
residential units being produced in 2006, stronger years in terms of net residential unit
production from both Ajax (1,822 new residential units), Whitby (1,037 new residential
units), and Oshawa (1,027 new residential units) contributed to a smaller share for
Clarington within the context of Durham Region.
The strong year in non-residential building permit value for 2006 increased Clarington's
share of the total non-residential building permit value within Durham Region from
14.51% in 2005 to 17.72% in 2006. Clarington had the highest share increase of 3.20%
followed by Whitby (1.05%). Oshawa experienced the largest share decrease of 4.67%.
3.5 Housino Market Indicators
The average one, three and five-year mortgage rates were higher in 2006 (6.3%, 6.5%,
and 6.7% respectively) in comparison to 2005 (5.1 %, 5.6% and 6.0% respectively).
CMHC has reported that they expect mortgage rates to remain low, only increasing 25-
75 basis points in the next two to three quarters before they start to climb higher.
The average price of a completed and absorbed single-detached dwelling in the
Oshawa CMA was $345,900 in 2006, representing an increase of 12.1% from $308,611
in 2005. In particular, the average price of a newly constructed single-detached
dwelling in Clarington increased by 13.3% from. approximately $261,800 in 2005 to
699037
REPORT NO.: PSD-069-07
PAGE 4
$296,700 in 2006. Despite these increases in price, CMHC states that t.lomebuyers still
favour the Oshawa CMA for its relatively affordable house prices compared to that of'
Toronto and other GTA area municipalities.
3.6 Short-Term Outlook
l
I
For 2007, CMHC is forecasting that housing starts will decrease in both the Oshawa
CMA (-9.8%) and the Toronto CMA (-4.0%). The forecast for Ontario is similar with
lower new home starts due to the increased selection in the resale market, the
increasing prices of new homes, and capacity restraints. RBC Financial Group is
forecasting a 13.0% decrease in the number of housing starts, from 230,000 units in
2006 to 200,000 units in 2007.
The CMHC housing forecasts show that there will be a decrease in residential building
permit activity in Durham Region; however, a healthy demand for new homes will still
exist in 2007. This is supported by the "solid economic and demographic fundamentals
such as low mortgage rates, positive job creation, rising wages, and respectable
migration." .
Overall, the non-residential building permit activity in Clarington has increased its share
within Durham Region by 3.20%. In 2007, Clarington expects to see continued
increases in the non-residential building permit value due to upcoming non-residential
building projects.
Durham Region also experienced positive growth in non-residential building permit
activity in 2006. The value of non-residential building permits in 2006 at $479 million
was the second highest level achieved in Durham's history (after 2003 - $650 million).
At the provincial level, Statistics Canada reported the value of non-residential building
permits decreased by 2.2o/~ from $9.20 billion in 2005 to $9.00 billion in 2006. At a
national level, the RBC Financial Group is forecasting a 7.5% increase in business
investment and non-residential structures. It is expected that non-residential permit
activity will remain at respectable levels in both Clarington and Durham Region through
2007.
3.7 Short-Term Population & Household Forecasts
Clarington estimated its population for 2006 to be 78,340, only a 520 person difference
from the Statistics Canada 2006 census count of 77,820. Durham Region's short-term
population forecast estimated the population would be 601,500 in 2006. There was a
40,242 person difference between this estimate and the Statistics Canada estimate of
561,258. The Region has always had aggressive estimates that need to be tempered
with other projections.
Clarington estimated 27 ,120 households in the Municipality for 2006. A 633 household
difference from the Statistics Canada 2006 census count of 27,753 households.
Durham Region's short-term population forecast estimated there would be 199,840
households in the Region by 2006. Statistics Canada estimated 202,155 households in
Durham Region, a difference of 2,315 households.
699038
'..
REPORT NO.: PSD-069-07
PAGE 5
Clarington's estimate has 2.88 people per household. Statistics Canada 2006 census
results show that the number is closer to 2.8 people per household, which matches the
trends predicted by Clarington's Development Charges Background Study. Household
sizes are decreasing in Clarington, which is a reflection of the older population that is
attracted to Clarington.
The Development Charges Background Study indicates Clarington's population is
expected to grow to approximately 80,500 by the end of 2007 and reach approximately
89,500 by the end of 2011.
The number of households in Clarington is expected to grow to approximately 28,000 by
the end of 2007 and reach approximately 31,800 by 2011. These forecasts were taken
from Clarington's 2005 Development Charges Background Study and Durham's 2006
Region Profile.

2.0 - OVERALL GROWTH TRENDS
2.1 Total Building Permit Value in Clarington
The total value of all building permits issued in Clarington increased by 15.57%
from 5203.22 million in 2005 to $234.86 million in 2006. This increase has
resulted in the Municipality enjoying its highest year ever in terms of the total
value of all building permits issued. Since 19931, the total value of building
permits issued in Clarington has averaged about $125.19 million. Figure 1.0
below summarizes this information.

As Figure 2.0 (next page) illustrates, the increase in total building permit value
for Clarington can be attributed to the increase in the overall residential and
non-residential building permit values. The residential building permit value
increased from $141.85 million in 2005 to $149.99 million in 2006, and the non-
residential building permit value increased significantly from $61.37 million in
2005 to $84.88 million in 2006.
I Prior to 1993 the Municipality of Clarington was named the Town of Newcastle. This annual building
permit review does not include data from before 1993.

2.2 Total Building Permit Value in Durham Region
Durham Region experienced a decrease of 3.75% in total building permit value
from $1.56 billion in 2005 to $1.50 billion in 2006. The $1.50 billion in 2006
was the third highest total building permit value in the Region's history, with
$1.56 billion in 2005 and the highest of $1.70 billion in 2003 (see Figure 3.0 on
following page). Since 2000, the total value of building permits issued in
Durham Region has averaged about $1.31 billion.
This decline in total building permit value in 2006 was primarily attributed to
the decreased investment in the residential sector ($1.07 billion in 2006
compared to $1.11 billion in 2005). The non-residential sector experienced a
small increase from $446.50 million in 2005 to $497.30 million 2006.

3.3 Share of New Residential Unit Production in Durham Region
In 2006, Durham Region municipalities issued building permits for a total of
5,244 new residential units, a decrease from the 5,783 new residential units in
2005. Clarington's share of the total number of new residential units in 2006
was 16.34% (857 new residential units), an increase from the previous year's
share of 13.88% (802 new residential units) in 2005. Despite maintaining a
strong absolute number of new residential units being produced in 2006,
stronger years in terms of net residential unit production from Ajax (1,822 new
residential units), Whitby (1,037 new residential units), and Oshawa (1,027 new
residential units) contributed to a smaller share for Clarington within the
context of Durham Region.

Housing Market Indicators
The average one, three, and five year mortgage rates were higher in 2006 at
6.3%, 6.5%, and 6.7% respectively in comparison to 2005 at 5.1%, 5.6%, and
6.0% respectively (see Figure 11.0 below). The bank rate began an upward
trend in September 2005 that continued until May 2006, when it reached 4.50%.
The bank rate remained at 4.50% for the remainder of 2006. CMHC has
reported that they expect mortgage rates to remain low, only increasing 25-75
basis points in the next two to three quarters before they start to climb higher.

The number of housing starts was 5,585 in the Oshawa CIM for 2006,
representing a marginal increase from 5,488 in 2005. Similarly, the number of
completions increased to 5,071 in 2006 from 4,973 in 2005. Housing absorptions
also increased to 5,034 in 2006 from 4,895 in 2005, as newly completed homes
were sold or rented. The average price of a completed and absorbed single-
detached dwelling in the Oshawa CMA was $345,900 in 2006, representing an
increase of 12.1 % from $308,611 in 2005. In particular, the average price of a
newly constructed single-detached dwelling in Clarington increased by 13.3%
from $261,800 in 2005 to $296,700 in 2006. Despite these in~reases in price,
CMHC states that homebuyers still favour the Oshawa CMA for its relatively
affordable house prices compared to that of Toronto.

3.5 Short-Term Population Forecast
Clarington estimated its population for 2006 to be 78,340, only a 520 person
difference from the Statistics Canada 2006 census count of 77,820. Durham
Region's short-term population forecast estimated the population would be
601,500 in 2006. There was a 40,242 person difference between this estimate
and the Statistics Canada estimate of 561,258. The Region has always had
aggressive estimates that need to be tempered with other projections.
Clarington estimated 27,120 households in the Municipality for 2006. A 633
household difference from the Statistics Canada 2006 census count of 27,753
households. Durham Region's short-term population forecast estimated there
would be 199,840 households in the Region by 2006. Statistics Canada
estimated 202,155 households in Durham Region, a difference of 2,315
households.
- 9-
699051
'..
Clarington's estimate has 2.88 people per household. Statistics Canada 2006
census results show that the number is closer to 2.8 people per household,
which matches the trends predicted by Clarington's Development Charges
Background Study. Household sizes are decreasing in Clarington, which is a
reflection of the older population that is attracted to Clarington
I,
The 2006 Region Profile indicates that Durham's population is expected to
reach approximately 612,000 by the end of 2007 and approximately 657,000 by
the end of 2011.' This represents a growth rate of 1.4% annually. For the same
period, the Development Charges Background Summary indicates that
Clarington's population is expected to grow to approximately 80,500 by the end
of 2007 (13.15% share) and reach approximately 89,500 by the end of 2011
(13.60% share).
Similarly, Durham's households are expected to reach approximately 205,000
by the end of 2007 and approximately 231,500 by the end of 2011. The number
of households in Clarington is expected to grow to approximately 28,000 by the
end of 2007 (13.66% share) and reach approximately 31,800 by 2011 (13.73%
share). Figure 13.0 below summarizes this section. These forecasts were
taken from Clarington's 2005 Development Charges Background Study and
Durham's 2006 Region Profile.

4.0 - NON-RESIDENTIAL GROWTH
4.1 Total Non-Residential Building Permit Value in Clarington
The value of non-residential building permits issued in Clarington during 2006
was $84.88 million~ an increase of 38.30% from the previous year of 2005 at
$61137 million. This overall increase in the non-residential building permit
value in 2006 was due to a very strong year in government construction that
reached $16.91 million in 2006, compared to $0.47 million in 2005. Industrial
construction also experienced an increase in construction activity with a total
of $45.59 million in building permits being issued in 2006, compared to $34.57
million in 2005.

4.2 Share of Non-Residential Building Permit Value in Durham
I
The strong year in non-residential building permit value for 2006 increased
Clarington's share of the total non-residential building permit value within
Durham Region from 14.51% in 2005 to 17.72% in 2006. Clarington had the
highest increase of 3.20% followed by Whitby (1.05%). Oshawa experienced the
largest share decrease at -4.67%.
4.3 Non-Residential Floor Space Production in Clarington
Clarington's production of non-residential floor space decreased -30.55% from
539,700 square feet being added in 2005, to only 374,800 square feet being
added in 2006. Of the larger area municipalities in Durham, Pickering (_
35.70%) and Whitby (-13.42%) also experienced a decline in the production of
new non-residential floor space between 2005 and 2006. On the other hand,
Ajax (+182.14%), and Oshawa (+16.31%) experienced growth between 2005 and
2006 in the production of new non-residential floor space.

5.0 - SYNOPSIS AND SHORT TERM OUTLOOK
'VI >: I 1"'--
Ila 'J. ~~..T' 11 _
=$.-=--~ ~
5.1 Residential Building Permit Activity
Overall, the pace of residential building permit activity in Clarington increased
in 2006, while Durham Region experienced a decrease of 3.88% in residential
buildjng permit value between 2005 and 2006. For 2006 Clarington has
maintained a strong share of all residential building permit activity within
Durham Region of 14.02%. It has the fourth largest share behind Ajax (35.25%),
Oshawa (20.84%), and Wh~tby (18.19%).
For 2007, CMHC is forecasting that housing starts will decrease in both the
Oshawa CMA (9.8%) and the Toronto CMA (4.0%). CMHC suggests that the
similar forecast of lower new home starts for Ontario is due to the increased
selection in the resale market, the increasing prices of new homes and capacity
restraints. At a national level, the RBC Financial Group is forecasting a 13.0%
decrease in the number of housing starts, from 230,000 units in 2006 to
200,000 units in 2007. For 2007, the RBC Financial Group is also forecasting a
1.5% decrease in business investments in residential construction.
The CMBC housing forecasts show that there will be a decrease in residential
building permit activity in Durham Region; however, a healthy demand for new
homes with still exist in 2007. This is supported by the "solid economic and
demographic fundamentals such as low mortgage rates, positive job creation,
rising wages and respectable migration. "
5.2 Non-Residential Building Permit Activity
Overall, the non-residential building permit activity in Clarington has increased
its share within Durham Region by 3.20%. In 2007, Clarington expects to see
continued increases in the non-residential building permit value due to
upcoming non-residential building projects.
Durham Region also experienced positive growth in non-residential building
permit activity in 2006. The value of non-residential building permits in 2006
at $479 million was the second highest level achieved in Durham's history
(after 2003 - $650 million).
At the provincial level, Statistics Canada reported the value of non-residential
building permits decreased by 2.2% from $9.20 billion in 2005 to $9.00 billion in
2006. At a national level, the RBC Financial Group is forecasting a 7.5%
increase in business investment and non-residential structures. It is expected
that non-residential permit activity will remain at respectable levels in both
Clarington and Durham Region through 2007.

1.0 PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 On March 27, 2007, the Short List of Alternative Sites for the proposed York and
I
Durham Regions' residual waste processing facility was announced. Five of the six sites
on the list are located in Clarington (see Attachment 1).
1.2 On April 16, 2007, Council adopted the Resolution # C-211-07, as follows (in part):
l: ''THAT Staff be directed to examine comprehensively all the documentation
I prepared to date, the adequacy of the public consultation process and to
report on alternatives available to the Municipality; .
THAT Staff investigate the implications of a proposed waste-to-energy facility
on the Energy Business Park including the ability to attract prestige uses
including offices and research facilities;
THAT the Regions of York and Durham commit to design a waste-to-energy
facility that will not impact the health of present and future residents;
THAT Region of Durham provide the staff of the Municipality of Clarington, a
reasonable opportunity to review and comment on Report 2007-J-14;
THAT the Region of Durham agree to pay the reasonable expenses of the
Municipality of Clarington incurred with respect to all necessary studies and
legal advice required in order for the Municipality to determine its position on
the proposals."
1.3 The purpose of this report is to define the scope of the studies and peer reviews that the
Municipality will undertake to assist Council in determining its position with respect to the
proposed York/Durham Energy From Waste (EFW) facility to ensure that the interests of
the Municipality and its residents are protected.
2.0 OVERVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS
2.1 The Regions of Durham and York are currently conducting an Environmental
Assessment (EA) Study to determine how to manage the residual solid waste remaining
after blue box and green box diversion efforts. The purpose of the undertaking, as set
out in the approved Terms of Reference is:
· To process - physically, biologically and/or thermally - the waste that remains after
the application of both Regions' at-source waste programs in order to recover
resources - both material and energy - and to minimize the amount of material
requiring landfill disposal. In proceeding with this undertaking, only those approaches
that will meet or exceed all regulatory requirements will be considered.
· The waste proposed to be managed will be Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) from
residential sources generated within Durham and York Regions remaining after at-
source diversion, a portion of post-diversion Industrial, Commercial and Institutional
(/C&I) waste traditionally managed by the Regions at their waste disposal facilities;
and Municipal post-diversion residual waste from neighbouring non-Greater Toronto
Area (GT A) municipalities that may provide disposal capacity for processing
residues.
699058
REPORT NO.: PSD-070-07
Page 4
2.2 A description of the proposed undertaking was developed for the purpose of initiating the
EA Study. The undertaking would be a residual waste processing facility(ies) that would
be capable of managing the minimum 316,000 tonnes/year of residual wastes projected
to remain after the achievement of the Regions' diversion objectives. This amount
includes the receipt of a quantity of additional post-diversion waste from other sources.
Over the 35-year planning period (2011 - 2045), it is projected that a minimum of 13.3
million tonnes of residual waste will require management.
t ..
't '
2.3 Through the EA Study, four functionally different systems to process the waste and
recover materials and energy were examined ("Alternatives To"). These four approaches
are summarized on Attachment 2. In June 2006, Durham and York Region Councils
resolved to pursue a waste management system using the ''Thermal Treatment of Mixed
Solid Waste and Recovery of Energy followed by Recovery of Materials from Ash/Char"
(System 2a). However, because new technologies may offer additional benefits, the
Councils also resolved to consider ''Thermal Treatment of Solid Recovered Fuel"
(System 2b).
2.4 The EA study identified advantages of thermal treatment as being the lowest potential
impacts to water, land, sensitive habitats and the social environment of the host
community, plus the greatest energy generation. Disadvantages identified included the
highest potential impact on the atmosphere, less flexibility to changes in waste quantities
. and composition, and the need to manage hazardous residues (fly ash and flue gases).
2.5 The next step in the EA involves the identification of a preferred site for the construction
and operation of the new thermal treatment facility ("Alternative Methods"). A site with an
area of 10 to 12 hectares was determined to be required, although a smaller site could
be considered if off-site infrastructure was shared with other sites. The site search was
limited to lands within York and Durham Regions. Criteria used to eliminate lands
considered unsuitable included:
. Lands protected by Provincial/Federal legislation (including the Oak Ridges Moraine
and Greenbelt lands)
. 'Designated residential areas
. Natural heritage features
. Prime agricultural areas
. Designated parks and recreation areas
. Existing and designated institutional facilities
. Federally regulated airport lands.
2.6 Following the identification of potentially suitable areas, a long list of potential sites was
identified through the identification of publicly owned sites and willing seller sites. The
Regions undertook two calls for willing sellers, in November 2006 through a "Call for
Willing Sellers", and in February 2007 through the release of a "Request for Expressions
of Interest". This' process resulted in12 potential sites:
Publicly Owned Sites
. 2 in Clarington (owned by Durham Region)
. 1 in East Gwillimbury (owned by York Region)
Willing Seller Sites
. 1 in York Region (Vaughan)
699059
REPORT NO.: PSD-070-07
Page 5
· 8 in Durham Region (1 each in Pickering, Whitby, and Brock Township, 2 in Oshawa
and 3 in Clarington).
The willing seller sites in Vaughan, Pickering, Oshawa and Brock were subsequently
removed as they did not meet the criteria set out in the proposal call, leaving a long list
of 7 potential sites.
2.7 These long list of sites was further evaluated using the following criteria:
.: Proximity to required infrastructure
· Potential impacts of haul routes
· Site size
· Land use compatibility
· Site availability
· Potential impacts on unregulated airports.
As a result of this evaluation, the site in Whitby was eliminated.
2.8 The final Short List of Sites includes 6 sites, 5 of which are located in Clarington, with the
remaining site located in East Gwillimbury (see Attachment 1). It is the Regions' intention
to have a preferred site recommended by September 2007. The Short List of Sites will
now be evaluated using the criteria set out in the EA Terms of Reference which may
result in the elimination of additional sites.
3.0 REQUIREMENTS FOR MUNICIPAL REVIEW AND STUDY
3.1 A great deal of documentation has been produced through the EA Study to date. This
documentation relates primarily to the development of the EA Terms of Reference, the
identification of the recommended residuals processing system (Alternatives To), and
the identification of the short list of alternative sites (Alternative Methods). As well, the
consultation with the public and various agencies, including responses to public and
agency comments, have been documented. All of these documents are available on the
Study website (www.durhamvorkwaste.ca).
3.2 Clarington's efforts will largely focus on reviewing the EA Study documentation that will
have the greatest potential effect on the Municipality and its residents, and providing ,
Council with the information required to make informed decisions. For the most part, the
recommendations of this report do not propose to undertake new studies for the EA
process. Rather, Staff are recommending that the Municipality undertake a peer review
of the appropriate documents that have been or will be prepared for the EA Study, as
follows:
· Verify that the work undertaken fpr the EA Study adheres to the approved Terms of
Reference and the Environmental Assessment Act and its Regulations, with a
particular focus on the adequacy of the public consultation process and the site
selection process (both are discussed later in this report);
· Review current and emerging EFW thermal technologies that are available to the
Regions through their Request for Proposals and procurement process and provide
comments on ways in which this could be improved;
699060
REPORT NO.: PSD-070-07
Page 6
. Review the health effects and risk assessment study that the Region is undertaking,
and obtain independent advice on the environmental standards for the facility
including air and water quality monitoring recommendations; and
. Explore the alternatives available to the Municipality to influence and improve the EA
process as it continues to a conclusion.
3.3 111 .addition to the peer reviews of various EA documents, it is also recommended that the
Municipality undertake an independent financial and economic analysis to ensure that its
interests are protected, as follows:
. Undertake an economic impact study that focuses on the Municipality's ability to
attract the uses to the Clarington Energy Business Park (Energy Park) as envisioned
by the Secondary Plan should the EFW facility be sited there, and the potential
cumulative stigma on the Municipality's image created by the location of a number of
waste, energy and industrial facilities along the lakeshore;
. Determine the financial impacts on the Municipality of hosting an EFW facility should
it be sited here, including the potential impact on property assessment and municipal
taxation;
. Determine the infrastructure costs to the transportation network as a result of the
increased truck traffic; and
. Determine the benefit(s) that could be obtained through the proposed Host
Community Agreement.
3.4 This report also identifies the specific consulting assistance that the Municipality will
require to ensure that the interests of the Municipality and its residents are protected
throughout the process. In this regard, it is important to note that the consultants hired by
Durham and York Regions are responsible for delivering the best solution for the two
Regions, and not to defend Clarington's interests. Therefore, while the Municipality can
assist the Regions by providing comments and suggestions regarding the Terms of
Reference, study methodology, and by identifying gaps in their research and studies, the
Municipality cannot rely on the Regions' consultants to provide advice to Clarington.
3.5 Clarington's consultants will be retained to undertake the scope of work identified in this
report. More specifically defined Proposals are being prepared by the consultants based
on direction provided by staff. The tight timeframe set out by the Region in their EA
process for undertaking the necessary work does not allow for a competitive bid
process. Rather, the consultants being recommended by staff were identified through
references by professional colleagues, and through discussions with the consultants to
ensure that they possess the necessary expertise and knowledge and do not have any
conflicts of interest (see Attachment 3).
3.6 Based on the above, staff are requesting that Council waive the Purchasing By-law for
competitive proposals. Due to time constraints, it may be advantageous for staff to be
authorized to review and select the consultants based on the proposals negotiated with
the preferred consultants. Alternatively if Council wants to review the specifics, it would
be appropriate for staff to report back; however this will delay the work and could
jeopardize the Municipality's review given the aggressive timeframe being pursued by
the Regions.

4.0 PEER REVIEW OF EA DOCUMENTS AND PROCESS
4.1 "Alternatives To" Draft Report
4.1.1 In June 2006, the Regions received the consultants report on alternative treatments for
disposal of residual waste. At that point in time, both Regions resolved to pursue
thermal treatment through alternatives 2a or possibly 2b (see Attachment 2).
4.1.2 There are a variety of views on the alternative approaches, their costs and their
environmental and social impacts. Since the Region has resolutely made the decision to
pursue thermal treatment, unless Council directs otherwise, it is not proposed that the
"Alternatives To. draft report be peer reviewed.
"
4.2 "Alternative Methods" Site Selection
4.2.1 The draft Terms of Reference, as prepared by the Regions and submitted to the Minister
of Environment, proposed an approach for identifying a site for the new waste
management facility (Alternative Methods). Council, in its comments on the draft Terms
of Reference, questioned the adequacy of the site selection process and strongly
objected to the focus on publicly owned lands. These comments noted that the Terms of
Reference unfairly prejudiced the site search in favour of lands owned by the two
Regional governments, in particular the significant area of land owned by the Region of
Durham near the Courtice waterfront. The Terms of Reference for the EA Study, as
approved by the Minister of Environment on March 31, 2006, were not revised to
address Clarington's concerns.
4.2.2 Clarington Council, by way of Resolution #C-069-06, specifically requested that:
"... the DurhamlYork Residual Waste Disposal Planning Study be
amended by including in the Study Area, the Wesleyville site owned by
Ontario Power Generation in the Municipality of Port Hope."
Although the Terms of Reference for the EA Study do not specifically preclude the
Wesleyville site, the site selection criteria effectively eliminated all sites outside of York
and Durham Regions.
4.2.3 Other deficiencies identified in the site selection process include:
· The requirement for public ownership prevented a number of potentially suitable
privately owned sites, long term lease sites and EFW facilities located at an existing
industry from being considered;
· Lack of opportunities for ''feedback loops" within the process to allow for new sites to
be considered should a new willing seller come forward;
· The addition of sites should one of the technology proposals include a specific site is
included as a potential option in the Terms of Reference; however it is unclear how it
could practically be considered given the other eliminating criterion; and
· If all relevant future land use designations and policies in the Durham Regional
Official Plan and the Clarington Official Plan are considered, sites on the short list will
be eliminated from the site selection process.
699062
REPORT NO.: PSD-070-07
Page 8
In this regard, it would appear that the site search process does not meet the inten~of
the Terms of Reference to identify a number of potential sites in each Region. "
4.2.4 Staff recommend that the Municipality engage an environmental planner with expertise
in EA processes to determine whether the site selection process has adhered to the
approved Terms of Reference, and the Environmental Assessment Act and its
regulations. The consultant being recommended by staff is Steven Rowe and his firm;
hiS' areas of expertise are indicated in Attachment 3A.
4.3 Public Consultation Process
4.3.1 The Regions and their consulting team appear to have met the minimum requirements
for public consultation as set out in the Environmental Assessment Act. However, the
public consultation process carried out to date has not been particularly robust or
inclusive and may not meet the requirements as set out in the Terms of Reference. By
way of example, the Terms of Reference call for the establishment of a public liaison or
advisory committee representing a broad range of interests across the study area in
order to focus public input on the EA study. In staffs opinion, this committee has yet to
be established.
4.3.2 Staff recommend that Council request that the Regions capitalize on the heightened
public awareness by providing a more rigorous public participation process for the
remainder of the, EA process. In particular, given the current focus on sites in Clarington,
the public consultation process should be more inclusive of Clarington residents (eg.
additional public information sessions to provide information on the different
technologies, their benefits and disadvantages, and the additional studies that are being
undertaken, and membership on the public liaison committee).
4.3.3 The Region will be providing the Municipality with its "go forward" communications
strategy by the end of May. By separate report, staff will provide comments on how the
public consultation can be improved, specifically for the residents of Clarington.
4.4 Gap Analysis of EA Study Process
4.4.1 The numerous technical and background studies that make up the EA process and the
way in which this information has been communicated, disseminated and carried forward
into the next stages of the process are all part of the Environmental Assessment
process. The process is complex, multi-faceted and takes a considerable amount of time
to complete to the satisfaction of all parties.
4.4.2 It is important that the Municipality and Clarington residents have confidence in the EA
process. An audit of the compliance with which the Region has been following the
approved EA Terms of Reference, the EA Act and its regulations will strengthen public
confidence in the decisions reached at the conclusion. If gaps are identified the
consulting team can address the concerns by revisiting these areas and provide
additional analysis and information to address the gaps.
4.4.3 It is prudent for the Municipality and beneficial for the Region that a review be
undertaken during the EA process. A third party independent review of the Region's
compliance with the approved EA Terms of Reference, the EA Act and regulations will
strengthen the study results. Staff is recommending that the Municipality engage Steven
699063
REPORT NO.: PSD-070-07
Page 9
Rowe, an environmental planner with expertise in EA processes, to determine whether
any gaps have occurred during the EA study process. The same consultant is being
recommended to undertake the Site Selection review in Section 4.2 so that this analysis
can be carried out at the same time. , '
5.0 REVIEW OF ENERGY FROM WASTE THERMAL TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES
5.1 qV,ersight of Technology Procurement Process
Throughout the public information sessions and as the selection process has evolved,
there has been discussion by the public on the various technologies that could be
considered for thermal treatment. Given that the Region is proceeding with the selection
of a thermal treatment technology, Clarington should have independent advice on the
options under consideration and the best course of action for Council on behalf of our
residents.
5,1.1 The Regions intend to follow a two-step process for procuring the appropriate
technology to thermally treat residual waste and generate energy. The first step will be
the issuance of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to vendors of thermal waste
treatment technologies. The second step will be the issuance of a Request for Proposals
(RFP) that will seek specific proposals for the construction of a facility, including financial
commitments and technical requirements.
5.1.2 A number of different EFW technologies currently exist or are in the development stage.
These range from well-established technologies such as conventional combustionl
incineration to emerging technologies such as plasma arc reactors. These technologies
exhibit a wide range of advantages and disadvantages, and a number of factors will be
used to evaluate the various systems and identify a preferred system (see Attachment
2). It is important to note that the factors the Regions may favour (eg. optimum energy
generation) may not necessarily coincide with those factors that would be most
favourable to Clarington (eg. lowest air emissions).
5.1.3 Accordingly, the Municipality will require consulting expertise in thermal treatment
technologies in order to ensure that the interests of the Municipality and its residents are
protected throughout the technology procurement process. The consultant would peer
review the work undertaken to date to determine any gaps in the analysis, and assist in
municipal oversight of the procurement process to ensure that the evaluation of the
various technologies addresses the issues that are of greatest importance to the
Municipality.
5.1.4 Staff recommend that the Municipality have input into the preparation of the
specifications for the Regions RFP for technology and provide comments on the
proposed technology vendors. Staff recommend that SENES Consultants Limited, who
have expertise in waste treatment technology as indicated in Attachment 38, be
engaged to assist the Municipality with our comments.
5.2 Potential Environmental Effects
5.2.1 There will be environmental impacts associated with all of the thermal treatment
technologies being considered. Of particular concern to the Municipality is the
cumulative impact on the atmospheric environment resulting from an additional source of
699064
REPORT NO.: PSD-070-07
Page 10
contamination within the Clarington air shed. The emissions will not be known until a
specific technology is selected. It is therefore crucial that the Municipality ~eceive expert
advice on the potential adverse health effects and risks associated with each thermal
technology.
5.2.2 The Regions are intending to prepare a generic air shed study and undertake a more
specific air shed study once a technology and site are selected. Staff are recommending
lh~t the air quality and environmental issues need to be addressed during the evaluation
of the short list of alternative sites, rather than at a later stage of the EA process as is
currently proposed. Clarington Council can request the Region to adjust their work
program for this study to take into consideration the specific requirements of Clarington.
5.2.3 On April 18, 2007, Durham Region Council approved the following motion (in part):
''THAT an Environmental Consultant be jointly retained by the Region of
Durham and the Region of York, with the selection participation from the
Municipality of Clarington and the Township of East Gwillimbury, for the
following purposes:
i) to satisfy the Councils of both Durham and Clarington that a state of
the art EFW facility will not impact the health of present and future
residents of the host community;
ii) to confirm that, on the basis of current scientific evidence, a state of
the art EFW facility is an environmentally responsible solution to
waste disposal in Durham".
5.2.4 Staff concur that the Municipality should work with the Region and their consultants to
ensure that an air quality, health effects and risk analysis is carried out to our
satisfaction. However, it is prudent for Clarington to obtain independent scientific advice
on the issues of air quality and the cumulative environmental effects of an EFW facility.
The scope of work would include a peer review of the Terms of Reference and
methodology for the Air Quality and Health Risk Assessment and the generic air shed
study. In addition, this consultant could provide advice regarding the air quality
monitoring program and the appropriateness of various regulatory standards. It should
be noted that the Regions in the EA Terms of Reference committed to meeting or
exceeding all regulatory requirements in proceeding with this undertaking.
5.2.5 The consultants being recommended by staff for air quality and health risk assessment
are AMEC E&C Services Ltd. as indicated in Attachment 3C. They will work with
SENES, the consultant with expertise in EFW technologies, as indicated in Attachment
38, as a team to provide ongoing advice to Council on issues related to the health
impacts and well being of Clarington residents.
6.0 FINANCIAL IMPACTS AND HOST COMMUNITY AGREEMENT STUDIES
6.1 Impact on Clarington Energy Business Park
6.1.1 The Energy Park contains two of the potential locations of the EFW facility that meet the
siting criterion as set out in the EA Terms of Reference, while a third site sits
immediately adjacent to the Park. Sites 1 and 2 as identified on Attachment 2 are owned
by the Region of Durham, while Site 5 is a "willing seller" site.
699065
REPORT NO.: PSD-070-07
Page 11
6,1.2 The Energy Park is 129 hectares (318 acres) and is an appropriate location for prestige
and light industrial employment uses that can benefit from the emerging energy cluster
in Durham, close proximity to the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, the hydro-
electric transmission grid, the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, and/or major
employers that would be attracted to a campus that could provide synergy to the energy
and environment sectors of the regional economy, The Secondary Plan and zoning for
the Energy Park were adopted by Clarington Council on February 28, 2006 and
Regional Council on April 10, 2006. The frontage of the energy park has been
designated for prestige employment uses with signature buildings. The interior and rear
portions of the Energy Park are designated for light industrial use.
6,1.3 The future development of the Energy Park, as set out in the Secondary Plan, is to be
guided by the following over-arching principles: Innovation, Conservation, Efficiency,
Integration, Diversity and Design Excellence. The goals and objectives set out in the
Secondary Plan reinforce the guiding principles and aim to develop a focal point for
research and development and related industrial activity, and to facilitate cooperation
among businesses within the Durham Region energy cluster, The purpose of the
Energy Park is to provide a unique industrial location that attracts industry related to the
energy sector. The Energy Park targets energy innovations and related companies that
engage in research and development, demonstration, commercialization, and sale of
existing and new energy source technologies.
6.1.4 The marketing and economic studies carried out during the background stages of the
Secondary Plan determined that an excellent opportunity exists for Clarington to attract
prestige research and office uses and alternative energy innovation firms. These new
businesses would improve the Municipality's long term financial stability by increasing its
industrial tax base. As well, the highly skilled individuals that would be employed at
these firms would help to provide a diversified employment market in Clarington,
6.1,5 Regardless of the thermal waste treatment determined during the proposal call, the EFW
facility envisioned by the Regions is a large industrial facility (3-4 storeys in height) with
a highly visible smokestack, In addition, it is anticipated that there will be a significant
volume of trucks hauling waste to the new facility.
6.1,6 Although the Energy Park planning contemplated that there may be some alternative
power generation, there were concerns about the impact of an energy from waste
facility. The Municipality, as part of its due diligence, needs to determine if the siting of
an EFW facility of the magnitude envisioned by the Regions (250,000 to 400,000
tonnes/year) will create a measurable impact on the marketability and development of
the Energy Park as envisioned by the Secondary Plan.
6,1.7 C. B. Richard Ellis Limited are being recommended by staff for the economic analysis as
indicated in Attachment 3D. They will work with the consultants that developed the
energy park urban design basis and the emerging energy market analysts that helped
develop the marketing strategy for the energy park. These consultants are Urban
Strategies, Delphi Group and Gartner Lee and will only provide minor assistance and
clarification as to the intent of the Energy Park studies,
6.2 Impact on Assessment Base
6.2.1 As mentioned in Section 6,1.4, one of the major opportunities that the Energy Park
represents is the anticipated improvement in the Municipality's tax base and ratio. Not
only would the development of the Energy Park create a new stream of taxation income,
REPORT NO.: PSD-070-07
Page 12
it would help move the Residential/Commercial-Industrial ratio from the existing 9~f9
towards the 75/25 target set out in the Official Plan.
6.2.2 The Municipality has waited a considerable length of time for sanitary sewer and
municipal water services to be provided to industrial areas to increase their marketability.
By providing serviced industrial areas, Clarington can begin the process of attracting
more employers and providing a better live/work lifestyle for residents.
1 Ii",
11"
6.2.3 Part of the economic analysis that the Municipality should be carrying' out is to determine
the comparative tax revenues with and without the EFW facility. By developing an
understanding of any delays this facility may have on developing the Energy Park lands,
as well as the type and quality of other employers that can be attracted, the Municipality
will be able to determine if it should be compensated for lost opportunities should the
facility locate in the Energy Park. The thermal treatment facility poses a high risk to the
Municipality's plans for the Energy Park.
6.2.4 There is another aspect to the impact on the tax base which could potentially have a
larger impact (which is discussed in Section 6.3 below).
6.2.5 C.B. Richards Ellis Ltd. are recommended by staff for the economic analysis of the
potential impact on the Energy Park, they can partially address the scope of work
outlined in this section. The Director of Finance is recommending that a large multi-
disciplinary accounting firm with expertise in a number of areas be retained to work in,
concert with the other economic analysts. The firm to be retained to undertake this work
has yet to be determined.
6.3 Community Stigma
6.3.1 There is a potential stigma to be borne by Clarington as the host of a number of facilities
perceived by the public and prospective businesses to be undesirable. By adding an
EFW facility, the perception of industry, residents and the general public could be tipped
negatively towards an image that Clarington does not wish to be known for. Clarington
has worked very hard to create an image of leading the way in environmental
sustainability that could be lost.
6.3.2 Should Council wish staff to investigate the potential stigma effect of an EFW facility, the
consultants retained for the economic analysis of the Energy Park (Attachment 3D) and
the accounting firm with expertise in royalty payments and power purchase agreements
could undertake this scope of work.'
6.4 Host Community Agreement
6.4.1 Given the strong possibility that the EFW facility could be located in Clarington with or
without the Municipality's consent, the Municipality should determine what it would want
included in a Host Community Agreement. The Regions have already approved a set of
General Principles for the Host Community Agreement as "a starting point for the
commencement of EFW host municipality negotiations". To protect the financial interests
of Clarington taxpayers, Council will need a better understanding of the implications of
what is currently being proposed by the Regions for inclusion in the Host Community
Agreement.
6.4.2 Staff are proposing that a review of the Municipality's requirements for a Host
Community Agreement be undertaken in concert with financial and legal expertise
699067
REPORT NO.: PSD-070-07
Page 13
familiar with similar agreements. Such a review will allow the Municipality to better
understand the full financial impact of hosting such a facility and ensure that the
Municipality derives the maximum possible benefit under such an Agreement. This
review and analysis will require knowledge of, among other matters," the industry
standard for waste royalties, a review of similar host community agreements,
infrastructure requirements, and knowledge of the standard purchase of power
agreements that have just been issued by the Ontario Power Authority. As well, an
analysis of different payment-in-Iieu-of-taxes scenarios will need to be undertaken to
determine the potential financial impact on the Municipality's tax base.
6.4.3 It is anticipated that the consultants that have been recommended in Attachment 3D and
the multi-disciplinary accounting firm, along with input from Staff, the Municipal Solicitor
and Totten Sims Hubicki will be able to provide sufficient breadth to .develop an
appropriate Municipal position with respect to the Host Community Agreement to ensure
that the interests of the Municipality are protected.
7.0 DUE DILIGENCE FUNDING
7.1 On April 18 and 19, 2007, the Councils of Durham and York respectively approved the
following motion (in part):
"That each respective Region shall provide adequate funding to any of the
potential host communities located within their respective Region. And
further, that such adequate funding shall include the costs of all necessary
studies and legal advice incurred by the potential host community to
investigate and complete its due diligence in arriving at its decision whether
or not it will become a host community for the EFW facility. And further, the
total of such costs shall be deducted from the combined royalty fee, if any,
and not otherwise."
7.2 The Director of Finance has been in contact with the Commissioner of Finance for the
Region of Durham to determine how the logistics of the funding will work. In accordance
with Regional Council's motion above, it is recommended that the peer reviews and
studies outlined in this report be deemed to be "necessary studies" by Council in order to
undertake its appropriate due diligence. Therefore, it is staffs recommendation that the
Municipality proceed with retaining the consultants because of the compressed time
frame in which the studies have to be carried out, in order to allow the consultants to
commence their work.
8.0 CONCLUSION
8.1 The Consultants (as outlined in Attachments 3A, 38, 3C and 3D) have been requested
to submit proposals based on the scope of work outlined in this Report. Should Council
direct Staff to reduce or increase the scope of work, the proposals will be revised to
reflect Council's intent. It is recommended that, due to the restricted timeframe, the
meeting schedule and anticipated summer recess, Council delegate the responsibility of
retaining the consultants jointly to the Directors of Finance and Planning Services. As
noted in Section 3.6 above, the recommendation to waive the Purchasing By-Law would
also be necessary to allow the Directors to retain the consultants.
699068
REPORT NO.: PSD-070-07
Page 14
8.2 It is staff's understanding that the Region wishes to begin Host Community Agreem~nt
discussions with the Municipality. Staff recommend that a committee comprised' of
Clarington staff and consultants similar in composition to the Region's committee be
established to facilitate such discussions.
8.3 An information report shall be provided at a later date outlining the consultants retained
tp assist Clarington in carrying out its due diligence.

PUBLIC HEALTH EFFE(."TS ASSESSMENT OF
HIGHLAND CREEK SEWAGE' TREATMENT
PLANT, INCINERATION OF SEWAGE SLUDGE
This study reviewed the environmental and
public health effects of the operation of Metro
Toronto's Highland Creek Treatment Plant.
SENES was responsible for the risk assessment
and odour complaint evaluation component of
the project and for conveying the results of the
study to the public. Public risk from both the
operation of the plant incinerator and liquid
trains were assessed using air dispersion models
in combination with environmental pathways
analysis. Both short and ]ong-tenn risks were
evaluated using Monte Carlo methods to assess
uncertainty in exposure, dose and risk.
Estimated exposure ]evels were compared to
accepted reference ]evels to derive relative
margins of safety. Regu]ar meetings with local
residents and other stakeholders to discuss the
technical issues and public concerns were an
important part of this project.

The risks of air emissions from incinerators in
the Commissioners and Cherry Street areas of
downtown Toronto were assessed. Both short-
and long-tenn exposure modelling were carried
out. The estimated risk exposure levels were
compared to acceptable leve]s and used to derive
relative margin of safety values. The lifetime
cancer risk from exposure to background
sources and to incinerator emissions were also
evaluated.

assembled through literature searches with the
relevant agencies and individuals in the field.
Phase~I of this assessment (pros and cons of
incineration) identified, reviewed and assessed
the arguments for or against incineration with
energy recovery, by extracting the technical
aspects and related information from the
identified literature.

FOR A SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Responsible for the analyses of private sector
proposal received by the Essex-Windsor Waste
Management Committee for management of
their solid wastes with the objective of achieving
40% diversion of wastes from disposal. The'
work included visits to material recovery and
composting facilities referenced by the
proponents throughout the U.S.A.
MATEJUALS RECOVERY F,,\CILlTY
Processing technologies and potential sites were
evaluated and approval requirements were
identified for a 600 tonne per day materials

visits to existing plants in Europe and North
America, and preparation of a Waste Stream
QUANTlFIC."TION AN)) CHARACmRIZATION
METHODOLOGY
In 1988, the Canadian Council of Ministers of
the Environment (CCME) introduced a national
target for reduction of waste disposed. A data
collection system is required in order to monitor
progress toward this target. SENES was

retained to identify and describe all known
methods to quantify, and characterize solid waste
through a literature search and numerous
personal contacts. The evaluation of the
methods was complemented by a review of
provincial and territorial priorities, studies,
waste composition groups and waste streams
definitions used by the provinces, with speciai
attention to the status and availability of
provincial data. An approach was recommended
for a national data collection system based on
the need to be cost effective, reasonably
accurate, and sufficiently flexible to
accommodate improved accuracy with time, and
the need to report by province or region within
Canada.
STOR-\GE OF RECYCL.-\BLE MATERIALS
An investigation into the potential storage of
recyclable materials including paper and
paperboard products in the Industrial,
Commercial and lnstitutional (IC&I) and
Construction and Demolition waste streams was
undertaken. A report was prepared which
determined types, quantities and potential
markets of materials considered for storage. The
costs of processing and storage were identified
and estimated with respect to environmental and
siting considerations.
Request for proposals were prepared for two 200
tonne per day waste recovery facilities. The first
recovers recyclable materials from the
residential waste stream and the second
composts the organic fraction of the residential
waste stream into a marketable compost. Work
included determination of available technologies
and experience followed by preparation of a
qualified bidders list.

As part of the Metropolitan Toronto SWEAP
program, a waste composition analysis was
developed for the estimation of solid waste
quantities going to landfill from industrial,
commercial, institutional. construction,
demolition and residential sources in Metro.
N.<\TIONAL DATABASE ON PACKAGJNG
As part of the National Packaging Protocol
(NAPP) to reduce the amount of packaging
disposed, it was necessary to develop a data
collection tool to measure and monitor the flow
of packaging across the country. Flow diagrams
for packaging clusters were developed. Advice
was provided concerning packaging clusters,
questionnaire development and other aspects
related to understanding and measuring
packaging. The team met with upper
management from individual companies and
with industry interest groups to obtain their
input into the data collection vehicle. Returned
test questionnaires were analyzed and site visits
made to numerous companies to gather pertinent
information. A protocol for performing these
visits was developed for use in further phases of
work.

Dear Faye
Re: Air Quality Peer Review of Proposed Energy From Waste - York-Our ham Residual
Waste '
We are pleased to provide a scope and cost estimate for undertaking the peer review of the air
emissions and impacts related to the proposed energy from residual waste environmental
assessment in York-Durham.
The review of the materials will consider:
· Appropriate consideration of air emissions in the site selection and review process. This
would include a review of how existing air quality is considered in the selection process; as
well as reviewing how the human exposure impacts are addressed (e.g. maximums, exposed
populations, sensitive receptor s).
· Review of proposed technology and the appropriateness of the air emission characterization
for those techno logies.
· Are the emissions from the proposed facility appropriately characterized? Are all possible
emissions considered? I n the review we would ask: Are they appropriate for the site and the
proposed operations? Are all sources considered? Were they estimated using the most
current data and methods/equations? Was consideration given to worst-case, average-case
emissions and upset conditions?
· Are the control measures appropriate for the technology? Are they adequate? Are the
control measures proposed consistent with current best practices?
· Air quality modeling. It is essential that the appropriate air quality model be used for the
assessment. This model should be capab Ie of handling multiple sources, varying
meteorological conditions and multiple receptors. The review will consider: Was the
appropriate model used? Was it used in the correct mode? Are the results interpreted
correctly? Were all sources considered? Were the appropriate meteorological data used?
Was deposition considered? This will entail a review of the input parameters to the model.
· Impact levels. Have the appropriate locations been considered in the impact assessment?
Was special attention given to sensitive rec eptors (schools, ecologically sensitive areas,
nearby residents)? MOE has standards for many of the emitted compounds. Have these

been appropriately chosen and used? How has the assessment addressed multi-media
impacts (e.g. deposition)? How are compounds that do not have MOE standards addressed?
Were nuisance impacts considered? Were potential future standards considered? What
resp'~nse plans have been developed to deal with complaints and impacts?
We would be able to start work immediately and based on 0 ur discussions, we will be able to
meet the projected schedule for the various review tasks.
At present there are no specific tasks. We would propose that as specific tasks are developed
(i.e. review of specific documents and phases of the project) that a budget would be developed
for each review. We would base this budget on my current rate of $150 per hour. This does not
include GST or expenses.
These separate budgets would be a "not to exceed" effort. Should other tasks or activities (e.g.
extra meetings, hearing attendance) be required, they would not be und ertaken until further
authorization was provided.
It is assumed that Dr. Tony van der Vooren will be the only person working on this project. His
ciriculum vitae is attached. Dr. vim der V ooren's responsibilities within AMEC, include the
management of and technical input into the following types of studies: air emission inventories
(including environmental audits and assessments); regulatory approvals; air pollution control
studies, air quality and impact evaluation and modeling; stack sampling and monitoring; and,
risk assessment. He has extensive experience (about 25 years) in the performance of such
studies for a wide variety of clients across all industrial sectors. Recently he has been involved
in peer reviews for the City of Ajax for the Duffin Creek expansion, the T owns of Warwick and
Napanee for the expansion of major landfills in their areas.
If other AMEC staff are required, this would not be done with prior authorization by Clarington.
If you have any questions or would like further clarification, please give me a call. In order for
me to start the review, please sign the attached letter to indicate your acceptance.
Looking forward working on this project!
Yours truly,
AMEC Americas Limited

Report #EGD-039-o7

1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 Clarington Boulevard from Highway NO.2 to the north limit of King Street and the
north limit of the new Clarington Central Secondary School site is shown on the
drawing contained in Attachment 1.
1.2 The portion of Clarington Boulevard between the north limit of Highway No.2 and
the north limit of Uptown Avenue is identified on the drawing as Part 11 on Plan
40R-16730. It was established as a public highway by By-law 2004-101 as
recommended in Report #EGD-21-04. At the same time this portion of Clarington
Boulevard was assumed by the Municipality for maintenance purpose by By-law
2004-102.
1.3 Since January 2, 2003, section 31 of the Municipal Act, 2001 has required that
generally for the establishment of a highway on land that is not within a
registered plan of subdivision a by-law must be passed to establish it. Under the
previous Municipal Act, a highway could be established by dedication either by
by-law or by acceptance of an express or an implied dedication of the highway by
the owner of the land on which it is located. Dedication by the owner and the
acceptance of it by the public by using it or by the Municipality spending money
in maintaining it and so accepting the dedication of the highway on behalf of the
public, would vest title to the highway in the Municipality. This method of creating
public highways is not available for the establishment of highways since section
31 of the Municipal Act, 2001, came into effect.
1.4 By-law 2004-101 was necessary to establish the portion of Clarington Boulevard
on Part 11 on Plan 40R-16730 as a public highway since the land required for it
had been transferred to the Municipality by Willsonia Industries Limited
("Willsonia"). The land is not within a registered plan of subdivision. If it had been,
it would have been established as a public highway and title to it would have
been vested in the Municipality on the registration of the plan of subdivision.
Since it was not within a registered plan of subdivision the necessary land for it
had to be acquired by the Municipality from Willsonia. Consequently, Section 31
711
Report #EGD-039-07
Page 3
1.5
1.6
1.7
of the Municipal Act, 2001 required that when construction was completed, this
portion of Clarington Boulevard had to be established as a public highway by by-
law and this was done.
T~e transfer to the Municipality of Part 11 on Plan 40R-16730 for a portion of
Clarington Boulevard was made by Willsonia pursuant to a Servicing Agreement
between Willsonia and the Municipality dated May 24, 1994 (Willsonia Servicing
Agreement"). Willsonia constructed the highway pursuant to the Willsonia
Servicing Agreement at Willsonia's cost.
At that time, Willsonia owned the land abutting both sides of Part 11 on Plan
40R-16730. Willsonia's land included the development land abutting the land
required for the planned extension of Clarington Boulevard to the south limit of
the unopened Concession 2 road allowance. The unopened Concession 2 road
allowance is owned by the Municipality. The planned Stevens Road Extension
will be constructed on portions of it.
In effect, the Willsonia Servicing Agreement as amended by the First Amending
Agreement to it deferred the transfer of land to the Municipality and the
construction of the extension of the portion of Clarington Boulevard from the
north limit of Part 11 on Plan 40R-16730 to the south limit of the unopened
Concession 2 road allowance. This land is shown as Part 19 on Plan 40R-16730.
The deferral was to end when a building permit is issued for the construction of a
commercial building containing at least 60,000 square feet of commercial gross
floor area located on Phase II lands owned by Willsonia on the west side of
Clarington Boulevard had been issued. At that time, Willsonia was to transfer
Part 19 on Part 40R-16730 to the Municipality and construct the extension of
Clarington Boulevard on it.
1.8 The proposed Home Depot home improvement centre is planned for construction
on a portion of the Phase II lands. It will comprise approximately 9,000 square
metres of commercial gross floor area.

Report #EGD-039-07

1.9 Halloway Holdings Limited ("Halloway") is now the owner of Willsonia's lands
I,
both east and west of Clarington Boulevard. Following Halloway's purchase of
Willsonia's lands, Willsonia, Halloway and the Municipality entered into the
Second Amending Agreement dated June 2, 2003 to the Willsonia Servicing
~
Agreement as recommended in Report #PSD-084-03. Generally, under the
Seconding Amending Agreement, Halloway assumed responsibility for
performing those covenants of Willsonia under the Willsonia Servicing
Agreement that had not been fully performed by that time.
1.10 When the Second Amending Agreement was executed by the parties to it, the
Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board ("School Board") was in the process
of acquiring the site for the Clarington Central Secondary School to the north of
the Concession 2 road allowance. The site would abut on its east, a portion of
the planned alignment for the extension of Clarington Boulevard; on its south, the
unopened Concession 2 road allowance; and on its west, Green Road.
1.11 Under the legal arrangements authorized by the Municipality by its approval of
the recommendations contained in Report #PSD-084-03, with the School Board
and its Vendor, the land required for the extension of Clarington Boulevard north
of the unopened Concession 2 road allowance to the north limit of the Clarington
Central Secondary School site would be transferred to the Municipality by the
Vendor of the lands to the Clarington Central Secondary School site. This
transfer (Parts 8 and 9, Plan 40R-22327) has been made to the Municipality.
Part 13, Plan 40R-22327 was part of the unopen Concession 2 road allowance.
1.12 The Second Amending Agreement to the Willsonia Servicing Agreement
amended the covenant to transfer Part 19 on Plan 40R-16730 to the Municipality
and construct on it a portion of the planned Clarington Boulevard extension. As is
noted above, the lands acquired by Halloway from Willsonia included Part 19 on
Plan 40R-16730 and Willsonia's lands on both sides of Parts 11 and 19 on Plan
40R-16730.

1.13 Pursuant to the Second Amending Agreement, Halloway transferred to the
Municipality the land required to extend Clarington Boulevard to t~e southerly
limit of the unopened Concession 2 road allowance.
1.14 T~e Agreement between the Municipality and the School Board required the
School Board to construct the extension of Clarington Boulevard from the north
limit Part 11 on Plan 40R-16730 to the north limit of the Secondary School site.
1.15 While the Second Amending Agreement required Halloway ultimately to pay for
the construction of the extension of Clarington Boulevard on Part 19 on Plan
40R-16730, construction of the extension of Clarington Boulevard on Part 19 on
Plan 40R-16730 was to be undertaken by the School Board at its cost. The
arrangements described below were made for Halloway to make deferred
payments to the School Board for the cost of construction of the highway on Part
19 on Plan 40R-16730.
1.16 The Second Amending Agreement to the Willsonia Servicing Agreement required
Halloway to deposit with the Municipality security for the cost of construction of
the Clarington Boulevard extension on Part 19 on Plan 40R-16730. One-half of
the security was to be drawn upon by the Municipality and paid to the School
Board following the issuance of a Certificate of Acceptance of the portion of the
Clarington Boulevard extension on Part 19 on Plan 40R-16730. The other half of
the security was to be drawn upon by the Municipality and paid to the School
Board following the earliest of certain specified events to occur. In fact, the
earliest event to occur will be the issuance of a building permit for the proposed
Home Depot home improvement centre on the lands on the west side of
Clarington Boulevard.
1.17 Construction of the extension of Clarington Boulevard to the north limit of the
Clarington Central Secondary School site was completed in 2005 when a
Certificate of Completion was issued by the Director of Engineering Services. In
714
Report #EGD-039-07
Page 6
fact, it is used by members of the public although responsibility for maintenance
,
of it is the School Board's.
1.18 Since the Certificate of Completion has been issued for the extension of
t
trarington Boulevard from the north limit of Part 11 on Plan 40R-16730 to the
north limit of the Clarington Central Secondary School site, this section of
Clarington Boulevard should now be established as a public highway by by-law
under section 31 of the Municipal Act, 2001. A copy of a draft by-law is contained
in Attachment 2.
1.19 A by-law to assume the extension of Clarington Boulevard from the north limit of
Part 11 on Plan 40R-16730 to the north limit of the Clarington Central Secondary
School site for maintenance purposes should not be passed until a Certificate of
Acceptance of it by the Municipality has been issued and a by-law has been
passed to assume this extension for maintenance purposes pursuant to the
Municipal Act, 2001.

in response to Clarington's request to cost share road improvements at the
intersection of Old Scugog Road and Boundary Road in Burketon.
I
Attached to Scugog's correspondence was a staff report which went before the
Township's April 2, 2007 General Purpose and Administration Committee
meeting and an excerpt of the minutes of that meeting (as it pertained to the
Burketon intersection issue).
The subject intersection is under the jurisdiction of both Clarington and Scugog,
and decisions regarding traffic control, reconstruction and cost sharing must be
approved by both Councils.
1.2 The recommendation of the Scugog General Purpose and Administration
Committee to Council (which was subsequently ratified) states, in part:
"...THAT the Municipality of Clarington be advised that the
Township of Scugog would be prepared to contribute up to
50% of the total cost of the Old Scugog Road and Boundary
Road intersection improvement project described in
Attachment 3 to this report, subject to approval of the
financing in the 2008 Capital Budget."
1.3 Intersection improvements recommended by both municipalities' engineering
staff include:
· improved line painting
· improved signage
· rumble strips approaching the intersection from the north

Report #EGD-040-07

2.0 CONCLUSION
2.1 Since both municipalities' budgets have been approved prior to the, inclusion of
,
this project, staff recommend that the final design of the intersection
improvements be competed this year and the construction of the works be
in~luded in the draft 2008 budget for Council's consideration.

1.0 BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
The Municipality of Clarington is being asked to participate in the CNE
Garden Show for 2007. Clarington's participation in the municipal display
I ~
II . category resulted in a first place finish in 2006.
The CNE offers an honorarium of $4.00 per square foot. The displays are
750 square feet giving participating municipalities $3,200.00 to help cover
the costs of materials. After the show, the plant material is recovered and
reused to enhance garden beds in various municipal parks.
Municipal staff is willing to enter again but will seek out community
partners to assist. As the Gold Award Winner, Clarington will also be able
to feature a community display which is being considered by Marketing
and Tourism and Operations.
If Council is in agreement, staff will confirm its participation for 2007 and
will continue to work with our partners on developing a display.

1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 Across Ontario, many municipalities with the support of national and provincial
recreation and park associations are promoting June as Recreation & Parks
~onth. The designation is being made to profile many of the important and
valued services, events and facilities offered across the Province, and to
celebrate the return of summer programming.
1.2 There are many benefits to participating in physical activity and recreational
pursuits. Recreation provides personal, social, economic and ecological benefits
to our residents, our communities and our Province. These benefits are
significant and critical to the vitality of the Municipality of Clarington.
2.0 THE BENEFITS OF PARKS AND RECREATION
2.1 Personal Health: Recreation and Active Living are essential to personal
health - a key determinant of health status.,
i) Recreation and active living significantly reduce the risk of coronary heart
disease and stroke, the leading cause of death in Canada. They help
combat osteoporosis, reduce diabetes and prevent site-specific cancers.
ii) Recreation promotes the optimal performance of all major systems of the
human body.
iii) Recreation can also contribute to improving mental health by reducing
stress and depression and enhancing emotional and psychological well-
being.
iv) Participation in meaningful recreation aids in the prevention of disease
and improves mental health.
2.2 Recreation is the key to balanced human development - helping Canadians
reach for their full potential.
i) Participation in recreation promotes the acquisition of motor skills, social
skills, creativity and the development of cognitive function, which are
important to successful integration into society.
ii) Physical activity is essential for preventing children from becoming obese.
Physical Activity regulates obesity by increasing energy expenditure,
suppressing appetite, increasing metabolic rate and increasing lean body
mass.
2.3 Recreation and parks are essential to quality of life.
i) Recreation contributes to improving the conditions that support mental
well-being by improving self-esteem and self-image, life satisfaction levels,
and enhancing perceived quality of life - for individuals, families and
<;ommunities.
1002
REPORT NO.: CSD-007-07
PAGE 3
ii) Rest, relaxation, and revitalization through recreation opportunities are
essential for stress management.
,
iii) Participation in recreational activities can be linked to lower levels of
television watching, more positive relationships with peers and friends, a
greater likelihood of performing better in school, increased future
educational expectations, better health and decreased participation in
negative behaviours such as smoking and drinking.
2.4 Recreation reduces self-destructive and anti-social behaviour - an antidote
for smoking, substance abuse, suicide and depression.
i) Recreation ccl'n counteract substance abuse by contributing to
psychological health by building self-esteem, and fostering self-discipline.
Recreation also provides accessible role models and leads to the adoption
of positive life choices.
2.5 Recreation and Parks build strong families and healthy communities.
i) Recreation contributes to the development of future capacity. Childhood
recreation activity is associated with adult volunteering and community
work.
ii) Recreation programs promote leadership, character, health, and career
development of youth while emphasizing social, cultural, and educational
growth.
Hi) Opportunities for children to participate in recreation help ease the
pressure on families and contribute to healthy relationships.
2.6 Pay Now or Pay More later! Recreation reduces health care, social service,
and police and justice costs.
i) Fitness and well-being reduces both the incidences and severity of illness
and disability lowering health care costs.
ii) In Ontario, obesity costs approximately $1.6 billion annually.
iii) Recreation promotes self esteem, listening, stress release and reinforces
positive values.
iv) It is more cost effective to provide proactive programs for troubled youth
than incarcerate them.
1003
REPORT NO.: CSD-007-07
PAGE 4
2.7 Recreation and Parks are significant economic generators in your
communityl
i)
Recreation, sports and fitness improve work performance through
increased productivity, decreased absenteeism, decreased staff turnover
and reduced 'on the job' accidents.
tt
II
ii)
Recreation, parks, arts/culture are great attractions to draw tourists while
creating employment opportunities for local residents.
2.8 Parks, open spaces and natural areas are essential to ecological survival.
i) Green spaces protect habitat, bio-diversity and ecological balance.
Together, these improve air quality by reducing carbon dioxide, sulphur
dioxide and other air pollutants.
ii) Fresh air recreation offers an excellent approach to environmental
education.
iii) The protection of open spaces reduces the risk of erosion and flooding
(environmental disasters).
3.0 COMMENTS
3.1 During the month of June, the Community Services Department will be
celebrating Recreation and Parks Month, and promoting the theme of "Live it
everyday!" Regardless of how you define "recreation", it is important to recognize
the benefits recreation provides.
3.2 To encourage community partiCipation, a variety of community events and
special promotions will be offered throughout the municipality during the month of
June. A full event listing will be available at all community centres as well as
www.c1arinQton.net .

THE CASE FOR NAMING THE NEWCASnE RECREA nON CENTRE
M MURRAY BUTLER RECREATION CENTRE" or "M. A. BunER RECREATION CENTRE"
Newcastle can't have a "Poppy" street named after him as that has already been done; but
it's in Bowmanville of all places - where Murray was neither born nor lived!
Murray Butler was an athlete. and apparently a relatively good one. Just prior to his enlisting
and going overseas in 1939 he had tried out for, and had been accepted by, the Toronto
A!~
LJi...o."onauts.
Murray Butler's roots in the village go back to at least 1848.

their fourth son:
born(date unknown) in Ireland Innkeeper of Bond Head

3) ISABELLA MIGNONETTE "Nettie" PARKER born 08 Jull888 at Newcastle
married by 1909 to FLOYD ALLISON BunER of Newcastle born 1882 in Ont (but not Newcastle)

4) RAF Pilot Officer (Navigator) MURRAY ANDERSON BUTLER
born 24 Jul1913 at Newcastle shot down over Denmark 21 Jun 1940
age 26 yrs 11 mon
It was through a Veteran's of wwn grant, as well as fund raising by the men & women of the
village (many of whom were themselves recently returned WWII Veterans), that the
Newcastle Arena was built. Let us now honour a WWII Newcastle boy who lost his life in that
war by naming our new recreation centre after him.

BACKGROUND
, I
At its meeting held on April 30, 2007, Council considered correspondence from Gary Cole, "
District Master, West Durham District L.O.L. requesting Council to declare the week of July 6
to 13, 2007 as "Orange Week", requesting permission to hold a parade in the village of Orono on
t
July 7 and requesting that the Canadian Orange Standard flag be flown at the Municipal
Administrative Centre in Bowmanville during the week. At that same meeting, correspondence
was received from Ron Milne voicing strong objection to the issuance of a permit to allow the
march of an Orange Parade in Newcastle last July and requesting that a future march not be
permitted in Clarington. Copies of these letters are attached for information.
In response to these letters, the following resolution was passed:
"THAT Correspondence Items 0-11 and 0-12 be referred to the Municipal Clerk for a
review and report on the municipal policy related to parades and flag raisings to
determine appropriate occasions to be acknowledged."
Currently, the Municipality does not have a formal policy on either parades or flag raisings. Also,
in reviewing this matter, it has been determined that we do not have an official policy on
proclamations, so this report addresses that area as well.
In order to determine municipal practices, the municipalities within the Region of Durham and
the City of Toronto were contacted to determine policies that are in place. Within the Region,
only the Cities of Oshawa and Pickering have adopted formal policies pertaining to flag raisings; .
only the City of Oshawa has a policy pertaining to proclamations.
FLAG RAISINGS
The Municipality is requested, at numerous times throughout the year, to display flags at the
Municipal Administrative Centre and to arrange flag raising ceremonies. These requests are
submitted to the Clerk's Department and placed on the Council agenda for approval. Once
approved by Council, the flag raising ceremonies are arranged through the Mayor's office.
1123
REPORT NO.: CLD-022-07 I
PAGE 3
It is recommended that a flag raising policy be adopted by Council as follows:
The courtesy flagpole is identified as the flag pole at the Municipal Administrative Centre
that normally holds the Municipality of Clarington Flag and will be considered our "guest
t
flagpole" to be used to hold flags of other nations or for awareness campaigns.
a) Requests for displaying flags and flag raisings may be approved by Council for:
. Non-profit or charitable organizations
. Recognition of national or international dignitaries visiting the Municipality
. Public awareness campaigns
b) Requests for displaying of flags and flag raisings shall not be approved for:
. Political parties or political organizations
. Religious organizations or the celebration of religious events
. If the intent is to defame the integrity of Clarington Council
. If the event or organization has no direct relationship to the Municipality of
Clarington
This policy is in keeping with the policies in place in other municipalities contacted.
PROCLAMATIONSITAG DAYS
The Municipality receives approximately 25 requests for proclamations/tag days each year.
Upon receipt, the request is placed on the Council agenda for Council direction and, upon
approval, the proclamation is advertised on the community bulletin board. If the organization
requesting the proclamation provides a ceremonial document, it is signed by the Mayor once the
proclamation has received Council approval and provided back to the organization. It is
recommended that a proclamation policy be adopted as follows:
1124
REPORT NO.: CLD-022-Q7
PAGE 4
Upon receipt of a request for a proclamation/tag day, the request will b'e' placed on the.
Council agenda for approval. An organization does not have exclusive rights to the day,
week or month of their proclamation, however, tag days will not be approved for more
than one organization for the same date.
a) Requests for Proclamations shall be approved for:
. Charitable fund raising campaigns
. Public awareness campaigns
. Arts and cultural celebrations
. Special Honours
b) Requests for Proclamations shall not be approved for:
. Matters of political controversy, religious beliefs or individual conviction
. Events or organizations with no direct relationship to the Municipality of
Clarington
. Campaigns or events contrary to law, Municipal policies or by-laws
. Campaigns intended for profit-making purposes
Proclamations do not constitute a personal or civic endorsement.
PARADES
Currently, Council considers requests for parades, in accordance with our Special Events
By-law. There are no restrictions upon the types of parades which will.be approved, provided
the organizers can comply with the requirements of the by-law. This includes approval of the
Emergency Services Department, the Durham Regional Police, Region of Durham (if applicable)
and Ontario Provincial Police (if applicable) as well as providing $2 Million insurance, showing
1125
REPORT NO.: CLD-022-07
PAGE 5
the Municipality of Clarington as an additional insured. If accessing a Regional Road, the
Region of Durham must also be named as an additional insured.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it
subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law. Specifically, the Charter states that
everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
. Freedom of conscience and religion;
. Freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and
other media of communication;
. Freedom of peaceful assembly; and
. Freedom of association
Based on the foregoing, it is recommended that Council not limit the occasions for which
parades will be approved, except in the case of an organization promoting an illegal activity.
CONCLUSION
It is respectfully recommended that the policies outlined within this report related to
proclamations and flag raisings be approved and that the current practice of approving parade
requests be continued.

Subject: parade
Dear Sir or M#:Iam,
I am writing to inform you of my strong objection to allow or release a permit to allow the march of an
orange parade in Newcastle. .
I was shocked and appalled to see this bigoted fete in my local town last July. I have lived in Newcastle for over 10
years and have never seen a political
or anti religious march in that time except for last year and do not expect to see another.
. I hope i have given enough notice for your decision to take my objection into account and look forward to hearing
from you at your earliest convenience.
Please do not hesitate to call if you need clarification at my reasons for being against such marches.
Yours sincerely
Ron Milne

To the Members of Council
This letter is further to my email of April 12 2007 regarding my objection for a July 12
Orange Parade March in Newcastle I will not be able to attend the meeting of April 30 to
voice my concerns in person, so I hope this letter will be heard by the members of council
before a vote.
First of all I was disgusted to see grown men drunk in the street. We live on Edward St
West and not only did my 12 year old son witness someone laying on the sidewalk after
falling down drunk, but was also screamed at as he walked our dog.
My objection is also a personal one. I left Scotland more then 20 years ago to avoid this
kind of bigoted march. I will not get into the history, or the why's of this particular
march, suffice to say it is offensive to me, and to all Catholics.
The orange order are nothing short of a hate group and are the shame of Scotland and of
Northern Ireland and why they are allowed to continue this practice is beyond my
understanding.
We have entered an era oftolerance and understanding in a new millennium in this
country and as members of council you have a responsibility to take us forward and
not back into a predigest past.
I appreciate you time and would like to be informed when you decision is made.
Yours Ron Milne

BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
1.0 BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
L~cated along the Bowmanville Creek system, the existing bridge structure on
King Street is included in the approved 2006 Capital Project budget through
funding from the Federal Gas Tax. The total approved budget amount is
$1,000,000.00. This project includes the rehabilitation works of deteriorating
sidewalks, parapet walls, and deck structure. Consideration of a decorative
parapet wall is recommended in conjunction with the ongoing Community
Improvement Plan for the Downtown Bowmanville area. The site location is
included as Attachment #1.
To assess suitable construction measures for the projects and to obtain local
resident and business owner input to the design process, a Public Information
Centre (PIC) was held on April 4, 2006. The design proposals for the work
presented were generally well received. Each of the comments made have
been considered by staff and Report EDG-27 -06 was received by Council. The
recommendation specified from Report EDG-27 -06 was to proceed based on the
enhanced option for the structure as presented to the public.
Based on the Public Information Centre and the report to Council, the design was
finalized and tendered in 2006. At that time prices tendered were far greater
than the estimated project budget. This was mainly due to the relocation of Bell
Telephone equipment that exists within the structure slab. As the services
belong to Bell Canada, the estimated costs were difficult to foresee. As such, a
redesign was necessary.
As an entry feature to the Bowmanville Downtown area, the King Street bridge
design considered enhanced parapet walls and decorative handrails and lighting
within the scope of works as recommended in EDG-27 -06. However, due to the
increased costs of the first tendering attempt, the Engineering Services
Department completed two alternative designs to re-tender.
1203
REPORT NO.: COD-019-07
PAGE 4
Alternative A includes decorative parapet walls and decorative lighting as
presented to the general public and Bowmanville businesses. This design will
certainly enhance the entrance into the Downtown area. A conceptual artist
rendition was prepared and is attached for this Alternative marked attachment #
2. Alternative B restores the current bridge structural deficiencies and reinstates
the current features that exist today. This includes the basic concrete parapet
wall, the typical cobra head lighting, and the replacement of the handrail that is
currently in place.
Subsequently Tender CL2007-18 was advertised and issued with bids being
received and tabulated as per Attachment #4. In order to reduce to the bid price
and in accordance with the tender specifications, negotiations were entered into
with the low bidder. Changes were negotiated for a total reduction of $26,449.94
for Alternative "A" and $77,764.16 for Alternative liB", reducing the total tender
amounts to $1,322,219.56 and $1,158,359.68 for Alternatives "A" and "B"
respectively. The changes are as identified in the letter from Totten Sims Hubicki
marked attachment # 3. The Municipality's engineering consultant, Totten Sims
Hubicki, has completed the tender analysis, cost apportionment, and
recommendation for the works and is included as Attachment #3. The total funds
required by the Municipality to construct Alternative "A" will be approximately
$1,597,200.00 and for Alternative "B" $1,407,300.00. Both alternatives include
tender amount plus consulting, contingencies, utilities and less Bell Canada
portion.
In consideration of each bridge alternative, the Engineering Services Department
discussed the funding options with the Finance Department. The unallocated
Federal gas tax funding in the amount of $312,300.00 is available to achieve
Alternative B. These funds are currently in the Federal Gas Tax Reserve fund
and relate to the first year of the Gas Tax program when detailed information on
allotments were not available at the time of Budget. This will fully deplete these
funds. Should Council wish to construct the enhanced Alternative A, a further
$189,900.00 will be required.
1204
REPORT NO.: COD-019-Q7

Previously approved 'in' the 2006 Capital Budget is the construction for 20 King-
I
St. Fayade. This project involves the construction of a shelter and public area for
the downtown core along the frontage of the existing Municipal parking lot. The
project will have a great deal of impact in the area giving specific attention to the
'I
BIA requirements. The construction of the shelter/public area has also
experienced budget shortfalls through its tender process and has not yet been
approved for construction. Approximately $370,000.00 is remaining from the
approved $400,000.00 fa9ade project fund. In order to meet the expectations of
the downtown community, it has been determined that the budget amount for this
project will need to be reviewed and likely increased or the scope of the project
significantly decreased to meet the budget limitations.
Therefore in order to achieve the construction of the enhanced bridge alternative
and the 20 King St. fa9ade projects, it is recommended that Council endorse the
transfer of $189,900.00 from the 20 King St. fa9ade to the King St. Bridge
rehabilitation project and that the unallocated $312,300.00 available in the
Federal Gas Tax Reserve fund be provided to the bridge rehabilitation project. It
is also recommended a revised budget amount be proposed in future budget
years for construction of the 20 King St. fa9ade project to achieve the
requirements for the downtown core. Otherwise, Alternative B is the only viable
option at this point to resolve the current bridge structural deficiencies and
reinstate the current features that exist today.
The Director of Finance has reviewed the recommendations of this report and is
in agreement with the financing proposed.

Project costs based on Miller Paving Limited's low bid for both Alternative "A" and Alternative "B" are
summarized on the attached cost apportionment.
This project was originally tendered in June of2006 and it came in with total project costs of $3.3M and
$2.9M for Alternative "A" and $2.9M and $2.7M for Alternative "B", for the two bids that were received
with the cost for Bell relocation averaging just over $l.OM. As a result of the large expenditure that
would have been required to address the Bell relocation it was decided to redesign the' bridge
rehabilitation to significantly reduce the Bell related costs on the project. The redesign resulted in a
reduction of approximately $840,000 for the Bell relocation and an additional reduction in rehabilitation
costs of$260,000 and $200,000 for Alternatives "A" and "B" respectively.
Although there was a significant decrease in the project costs from the 2006 tender the Municipality of
Clarington's share of the CL2007-13 project is projected to be $502,200 over budget for Alternative "A"
and $312,300 over budget for Alternative "B". Much of the budget overrun can be attributed to the
increase in construction costs over the last I 8 months from when the original budget estimate was
prepared for the project.
The totals include negotiated contract change reductions of$26,449.94 and $77,764.16 for Alternatives A
and B respectively, in accordance with C1arington's purchasing by-law 2006-127, Clause IO.OJ(c). The
cost savings represent the removal of Item No. A/B 1.20 - Concrete Median and negotiated changes with
the contractor for 1) a price reduction for Item A/B 1.12 - Temporary Line Painting, resulting from a
different application and removal than what was specified and 2) a price reduction for Item B 1.23 -
Pedestrian Handrail, resulting from the change in the type of railing and the height of the parapet wall.
The cost savings represents the removal of approximately 2.0% and 6.3% from the total tender amount
bid by Miller Paving for' Alternative A and Alternative B, respectively,
The bridge rehabilitation work is necessary and if delayed will result in additional costs to deal with
increased rehabilitation needs as well as expected normal increases in general construction costs for
labour and materials.
TSH provides this review for your consideration in preparation of your report to the purchasing
department.
Deposit cheques or bid bonds should be retained for the low and second low bids until the Contract has
been executed.
Should you require any further information, please contact the undersigned.
Yours truly, .' i.---:-~

SCHEDULE "B":.~,
For your convenience we have prepared a spreadsheet (see attached Table 1) to show the price'
comparisons between each bid on an item-by-item basis. The lowest bid for each item has been
shaded. Where Cobourg Development Services is not lowest, their price is reasonable when compared
to the lowest bid. None of their prices are out of line.
We have also prepared a spreadsheet (see attached Table 2) to show the price comparisons between
each Additional Unit Price on an item-by-item basis. Cobourg Development Services is typically the
lowest bidder. Where they are not the lowest bidder their price is still well balanced with the other
bids received.
Each of the five Bidders included Agreements to Bond with the following companies:
. Cobourg Development Services:
. Boyle Excavating Ltd.:
. FDM Contracting Co. Ltd.:
. Dev-Con:
. Ron Robinson Limited.
The Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company
The Sovereign General Insurance Company
The Sovereign General Insurance Company
Trisura Guarantee Insurance Company
The Guarantee Company of North America
3. RECOMMENDATION
The lowest bid received is from Cobourg Development Services. Their Bid is also clean without any
qualifications or clarifications on any of the individual items. We have checked their references and
there are no concerns to report. They are looked upon favourably by their clients.
Based on the above analysis we recommend that this project be awarded to Cobourg Development
Services Ltd. Their price is the lowest and their Additional Unit Rates are reasonable. We have no
hesitation in recommending them for this project.
We trust this analysis is helpful. If you have any questions please call.
Yours very truly

Dear Mayor Jim Abernethy, .";U:CIPALlry 0" ~(;(J /
~)'c)R'S" Cl.ARIN .',
My name is Jason Buyiik6zer and I am the student president a O!:F:IC~ GrON
Clarington Central Secondary School. I am writing.to you for pern1issl
for our school to be exempted from the bylaw that restricts the use of
fireworks on any days other than Victoria Day and Canada Day.
On June 7th my leadership class will be running a school dance that wiII
be held in our school cafeteria and on qur patio. It will be the last large.
event of the school year, and as far as I know a firework show has never
been held at a school dance before. That is why I thought a firework
show would make it a perfect year end event.
So far the student leadership class has gotten pennission from our
principal to hold this event at our school (see attached letter from Mr.
Tansley approving the fireworks). I have spoken to Fire Chief Michael
Creighton who told me he would be happy to volunteer his time to
supervise the firework show. Mr. Creighton also introduced me to Randy
Reinert, Fire Prevention Officer, who helped me with the proper process
of running a firework show. Mr. Reinert helped me find a suitable
pyrolechnition, Bob Hibben, who has been doing firework shows in
Bowmanville for years.
At our school dances we always achieve high attendance, almost to the
point of capacity. At our indoor/outdoor dance we are expecting the
highest turn out yet, with an attendance exceeding 450. Our school
dances start at 7:30 and end at 1 1 :00. We plan to have the firework show
start at 10:45 and last anywhere between ten to fifteen minutes.
At the time oflhe show we will have everybody interested in watching
step outside on our patio, which is blocked off with construction fencing,
and have the viewing from there. The firework show, which is set up and
executed by Bob Hibben, will be distanced further than the minimal
distance needed from the spectators to ensure ultimate safety.
Speaking on behalf of the students here at Clarington Central Secondary
School I would like to thank your time and we will be looking forward to
hearing from you. If you have any questions or if you wish to speak to
me you can contact the school (905) 697-9857 or reach me at my home,
(905) 697- 1233.

Good Evening
GP&A
May 22, 2007
Although Council directed Municipal Staff to examine all
documentation prepared to date, Staff have instead
recommended the "let's spend more taxpayer's money" route;
an option they chose because they have no regard for the
abilities, honesty and integrity of their counterparts
worldwide.
The implications of this report are that the work done by
the Joint Residual Waste Management Committee over the last
three years was clandestine and (for unstated reasons)
should not be trusted: half their recommendations are to
spend money on consultants they deem to be trustworthy -
purely to "verify" said work.
Equally, this report is riddled with misleading statements,
negativity and fear- mongering. Section 2.6 (pg 4) notes
that potential sites were based on public as well as willing
seller land; yet 4.2 (pg 7) states - in part - "...unfairly
prejudiced ... in favour of land owned by Regional
government" and "the requirement for public ownership".
At the start of this project, there were discussions with
Peterborough as well as York Region; however, it eventually
became the Durham/York study -- no Northumberland -- and I
suggest it would be rude as well as illegal to poach their
land at Wesleyville.
...2
2
Nearly every reference to "DURHAM REGION" is couched in
terms of mistrust: "...best solution for the two Regions,
not to defend Clarington's interests"; "Municipality cannot
rely on the Regions' consultants to provide advice to
Clarington"; "the factors the Regions may favour may not
... coincide with those ... that would be most favourable to
Clarington" etc; and that the only way we can have
confidence in the process carried out by Regional Staff is
to have it audited by consultants hand-picked by our
Municipal Staff.
Let us remember that we are also residents of Durham, and
that this facility is to deal with the garbage generated Qy
Clarington residents.
As mentioned, this has been a long process, with input from
many people and information about all types of waste
management being investigated; eventually leading to the
chosen "thermal treatment" following stringent
diversification.
Phrases like "aggressive timeframe" and "resolutely made the
decision" intimate a lack of care, a lack of "due diligence"
on the part of the Regions but - given that the current
practice of sending our garbage to a foreign country must
cease by 2010 - I am grateful someone is finally doing
something so we can take care of our own mess.
...3
3
My husband and I have been involved in this process since it
began, from the first OPEN HOUSE at Rickard's Rec to the
most recent at the Beech Centre. We have received regular
mailings from the Study group, attended well advertised
meetings and checked the progress on the web site.
I do not subscribe to Municipal Staff's assertion that the
public consultation process "has not been particularly
robust or inclusive"; each step has been listed in numerous
brochures and outlined in the "Durham Works" newsletter
delivered to all residents as Bix Biederbecke once
said: "just because you ain't receivin' don't mean I ain't
sendin'!". Their suggestion that (in addition to all that
verification) we re-do the entire process to "capitalize on
the heightened public awareness" is bewildering.
It is in Section 6 (pg 10) that Staff really unmask their
prejudices. Rather than welcoming the construction of a
state-of-the-art, high tech, environmentally sound, garbage
eliminating, energy producing facility as Clarington's first
attraction in their "Energy Park", they show nothing but
contempt. Not everyone views "thermal technology" as
detrimental, in fact it was probably developed in some other
community's "Energy Park" and is certainly in keeping with
the aims outlined in 6.1.3.
The "stigma" about which they go on a great length is their
view, their NIMBYism: they don't like the technology and
they don't want it here! The hints at lower property
values, lack of further development in the "Park", lost
taxes, lost employment opportunities and so on are meant to
terrify both Council and residents.
.. .4
4
Their comment about the look of the place - "... 3-4 storeys
with a highly visible smokestack..." is puzzling - is
St. Mary's going to remove their highly visible smokestack
to comply? Query: would any business targeted for
inclusion in our "Energy Park" want to locate here. based on
the reception given this facility?
While not addressed specifically by this report. I would
like to now give my thoughts on garbage:
a) forget whinging about children and grandchildren. let's
worry about ourselves - NOW;
b) I am ashamed that what little garbage we put out is not
dealt with by our own municipality;
c) I prefer trucks full of garbage travelling a few blocks
rather than halfway across the province - no matter the
number;
d) only TOTAL household collection of ALL waste goods will
stop that blot on the landscape - illegal dumping;
e) landfill is just a pile of litter dropped in one
location. it's emissions are deadly. it's leachate is deadly
and it's waste of space is criminal;
f) I look forward to the day when all our dumps will have
been mined and turned to ash.
To conclude, it is obvious that Municipal Staff do not want
this project to proceed; however. my husband and I applaud
our Region for it's decision to solve our garbage dilemma
and are proud to have made our contribution to it's solution
We now hope that our Municipality will also contribute their
support to this sOlution. and let's get on with it!

Delegation to Clarington GPA
Subject: EFW Indnerator and PSD 070-07
Report PSD-070-07 contains some important insights into some of the shortcomings with the
present EA and Terms of Reference for the EFW incinerator project. This staff report identified
numerous "deficiencies" in the site selection process undertaken in the York/Durham EA process,
public consultation and other areas, and I agree. I would submit that there were also substantial
deficiencies in the consultants report to the Region on Alternative Waste Treatment Methods, and
that alternative solutions were not adequately investigated.
Unfortunately, they lumped together landfill with waste diversion and composting, and did not
even look at substantially increasing their waste diversion program. We have been told repeatedly
that our waste diversion (Durham Region) is excellent, and we are somewhere around 50 - 60%
diversion, Yet in their "alternatives description", they list Land filling of residue at 77% of the
waste stream. That would mean we are only at 27% diversion so incineration is preferable? If this
is so, then we have a long way to go in reducing, reusing, recycling and recovery of waste. If it is
not accurate, then why would this figure be used in the decision-making process to eliminate
alternative methods other than incineration? The intense focus on waste incineration appears to
be very detrimental to waste diversion programs and the amount of future effort to be put into
those areas.
Expanding the waste diversion program to increase diversion including reuse and repair, materials
recovery, an organics processing facility and development of a Residual Screening and Research
faCility (which would fit in well with our Science and Technology or Energy Park themes and could
utilize resources available from UOIT) would keep jobs and money from waste within the
community and would reduce the amount of residual waste needing disposal. Incineration is
expensive and a poor investment and not cost-competitive, nor Is it energy efficient. 3-4 times
more energy is saved by reusing objects and recycling materials in the waste stream than can be
recovered from burning them.
Even with incineration, landfill is still necessary to dispose of the toxic ash and large items. It is
not a sustainable answer, And these incinerators dispose garbage to the landfill-in-the-sky in
addition to landfill in the ground and actually create new pollutants.
Which brings me to another important concern, actually the most important one, which is toxic
emissions generated from EFW facilities and the dangerous and detrimental health effects to
residents over a wide area, not just within a few kilometers of the facility, As for toxic emissions
based on European countries being used as a model for our incineration, those countries using
incineration not only prohibit toxins in products but also have enhanced producer responsibility,
Certain products are pulled out of the waste stream, while Canada has only limited regulations to
ensure some toxic substances are withdrawn from the waste stream, unlike those European
countries our future system and emissions results are being compared to. We are not burning the
same low-toxin residual waste as our European neighbors, and our toxic emissions will be higher.
Looking at the other thermal technologies, which seem not to be being seriously considered
anyway due to cost, experimental designation, reliability and acceSSibility issues, gasification,
pyrolysis and plasma technologies heat waste materials to high temperatures, creating gas, solid
and liquid residues. The gases are then combusted (incinerated), releasing hazardous pollutants
to the air.
Some companies claim that these technologies are "pollution free" or have "zero emissions," but
these claims have been shown repeatedly to be untrue. Since 2003 numerous proposals for waste
treatment facilities hoping to use plasma arc, pyrolysis, and gasification technologies failed to
receive final approval to operate when claims of the companies did not withstand public and
governmental scrutiny. Companies using or promoting these technologies claim that they are not

.'
incinerators, ignoring the fact that the toxic gases created by heating the waste are in fact
combusted - incinerated.
The same toxic byproducts can be released from these incinerators as from other incinerators,
including dioxins and furans, mercury and other heavy metals, particulate matter, carbon
monoxide, hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide, and more, as weli as toxic contaminants in the char
or ash residues, and contaminated waste water. Many of these pollutants are carcinogenic and
threaten public health even at very low ieveis.
The "zero waste" program being promoted and utilized by the city of Markham should be
investigated - its success and future goals ARE sustainable, health issues are addressed, and it is
much more financially acceptable.
First of all, Zero Waste is a concept as old as history. Humanity has always worked hard to seek
efficiency and the elimination of waste in all of its endeavors. It is only in the 20th century that
we began to think of things as disposable. In fact this "disposable society" concept is scarcely
more than a few decades old and already many European countries are rapidly moving towards
reducing and reusing packaging and other materials as well as 100% recycling of what is left.
Austria has already achieved a 90% reduction in waste. The capital state of Australia has signed
on to the goal of "Zero Waste by 2010" because when they asked the public what kind of waste
program the public wanted they were told to eliminate waste! Businesses such as Xerox, Dupont,
Anderson Carpets, Patagonia, and Mad River Brewing are all working hard to eliminate waste, and
some have achieved 80-90% reductions in the past five to ten years already. If these are not
Zero Waste goals, well then I don't know what is.
The nature of waste has changed fundamentally over the last 100 years, increasingly so since
1960. Local waste management systems have become the end-of-the-pipeline repository for
disposal of an increasingly complex, disposable, and toxic stream of products and packaging. Yet,
local governments have little or no direct control over the volume, composition, toxicity, or health
impacts of the discarded materials for which they must assume the responsibility of recycling or
disposal. Most experts agree that massburn incineration and other high temperature thermal
processing technologies produce an array of toxic, health-threatening solid, liquid, and gaseous
by-products and outputs. As with landfill disposal, they destroy their input materials, and are thus
at odds with Zero Waste sustainability principles of highest and best use of materials, resource
conservation, and protecting publiC health. It also sets up potential future legal and financial
liabilities for local governments, garbage franchisees, landfill owners and incinerator
owner/operators. Should we get involved with zero waste and try to make it a goal for the
future? Absolutely, It is a sustainable solution. Incineration is not.
I commend staff for identifying many of the deficiencies in the York/Durham EA and the
recognition of so many areas of concern, such as community stigma and impacts on the future
development of the Courtice Energy Park and I thank you for this report. It is my hope that
Durham Region can be convinced that they should take another look at alternatives and that if
Clarington turns out to NOT be a willing host, that we will not be forced by the Region to accept
an EFW incinerator in our municipality,
Respectfully,

Re: DurhamlY ork Residual Waste EA. PSD 070-07
Good Evening Mr. Mayor, Members of Committee, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thank you advertising today's meeting, thus providing enhanced notice to Clarington
residents along with the opportunity to address you tonight on this very important project.
While an additional week's notice would have been ideal, it nevertheless stands in stark
contrast to Durham Region's existing public processes around Proponent/Council
decisions that have been driving the ongoing DurhamIY ork Residual Waste
Environmental Assessment Study.
The related staff report before you includes some excellent reconunendations, and
provides Council with some much needed background infonnation that I hope you
consider very carefully, along with the conunents from concerned residents. I will
provide specific conunents on the reconunendations in a few minutes.
Tonight, I urge Clarington Council to ensure that a) they fully understand the
Environmental Assessment process and the type of input and decisions expected of
Council for the duration of the EA to ensure that Clarington's interests are identified,
considered and protected. b) As recognized by your staff, Clarington Council must take
necessary time to if they are to achieve the foregoing. Do not let arbitrary time lines
preferred by the proponents distract you or constrain you from making decisions that our
in Clarington's and the public interest. c) As your staff point out in various sections of
the report, it is imperative that Clarington undertake independent studies to ensure that
our interests are protected. Anything less could be interpreted as Council not fulfilling
their obligations to Clarington residents, and the municipal corporation. d) It is
imperative that all study and review costs are borne entirely by the proponents, and not
by Clarington, not now and not from any possible future royalties as proposed on April
17th at Joint Works and Finance Committee.
The Regions' arbitrary political timelines should not be driving the EA process. Further,
it appears this EA study is not much more than an attempt to rationalize a predetermined
outcome Le. thenna1 treatment of residual waste. The EA should have begun with a
broader assessment of residual waste management alternatives, as opposed to the scoped
range of Alternatives found on Attachment 2 to today's report. EA studies should be fact-
based, and should proceed to subsequent stages only when factually correct study
findings support that it is prudent to proceed, and where the decision is supported by fact-
based evidence that all stakeholders have had the time to review and conunent on.
Failure to do this may result in Clarington's interests not being protected, and could also
result in appeals to the EA study.
Given the limited time, I ask Council to consider Section 4.1.1. - Alternatives To the
Undertaking. When Regional Council selected thermal treatment last June as their
Preferred Alternative, they did not have the full range of options that should have been

Tel: (905) 983-5249 E-mail: lagasser@netrover.com
I
,
assessed before them. Waste reduction and progressive waste diversion strategies are not
found in Attachment 2. Last June, Regional Council did not have information about
heahh, social and environmental impacts of the various thermal treatment technologies
before them and we know that because this information is still not available and won't be
until the technology is selected should the EA study continue. Indeed, the whole process
to date seems skewed to set up a simplistic choice between burning waste, or burying it.
That Durham Region's Preferred Alternative was not the resuh or a rigourous assessment
of all reasonable options may well be because of the few opportunities for meaningful
public engagement to date. Indeed, from page 8 of the staff report, I quote: "public
consultation process carried out to date has not been particularly robust or inclusive,
and may not meet the requirements as set out in the Terms of Reference.>>
Waste issues generally involve a lot of money, and political issues almost always involve
money and power. It's time the public, who pay virtually all the costs around waste,
benefited from political decisions that contnbute to sustainability from every perspective.
As is so often the case, the public are often fur ahead of the politicians and know that
flexible, sustainable, progressive waste reduction'ilJi(t'diversion strategies not only have
fur fewer impacts, they are generally much more economical, and properly structured,
create more local and regional employment opportunities than could mega projects such
as thermal treatment.
Section 4.2 - Site Selection. For site selection to proceed prior to identifying the thermal
technology makes no sense whatsoever. One must first assess the advantages and
disadvantages of the various thermal technologies to have an understanding of potential
impacts, then undertake studies that assess the magnitude of these impacts in the context
of community values, and only after that information is known should you contemplate
site selection.
Your staffhave pointed out the many deficiencies in the site selection process so fur. It
should be completely unacceptable to this Council that the only sites in Durham Region
are all located in Clarington, and that 5 of 6 sites are in Durham Region. What kind of
partnership does this signal? Could it be that the proponents detect compliance and or
complacency on the part ofClarington Council, with two of three regional councillors
having publicly stated they are supportive of incineration, and did so prior to the recent
public consultations and prior to health and environmental impacts being assessed?
Section 4.4 - Gap Analysis - this section is of critical importance and if the review were
fuirly conducted with the findings implemented where appropriate, this could go a long
way towards instilling some public confidence in the EA study to date.
As time is short I now draw your attention to the staff recommendations themselves.
I'll start with a recommendation not present that should fonnally be included - you could
make this Recommendation No. 17, and renumber current No. 17 to 18: "that
Council recommend that a Residual Waste Community Advisory Committee be struck

at the earliest opportunity, with a committee terms of reference that permits a review of
all EA documentatWn and related proponent Council decisions to date. Furthemwre,
public input on appropriate member selection criteria and committee mandate should
be solicited via a publicly advertised process.
Rec. No.2 should be amended by adding: "lffurther studies outside the scope of
Report PSD 070-07 would be identified as being ''necessary'' for Clarlngton to
undertake responsible due diligence activities, that staff will report to Council in a
public forum requesting permission to proceed with these.
Rec. No. 11 In addition to the current wording, please consider adding the fullowing:
Clarington and Regional Sta.JJ: together with the Community Advisory Committee yet to
be set up, together with input from the public, should develop a strategy and implement a
plan to improve stakeholder engagement and public consultation for the duration of the
EA A draft plan should be provided to the public for review at an EA consultation
session before the study progresses any further. Any study-related steering connnittees
should include a public representative. This should include any connnittee dealing with
Host Community issues and agreements.
Rec. No. 16 Please consider amending this to read: That staff report regularly to Council
in a public forum on the progress and findings of the peer reviews and analyses being
undertaken, and the Host Community Agreement Discussions.
Thank you for considering my conunents. I also ask that I be included on a list of
interested parties to be advised of all future Clarington EA related meetings and reports.
