Mr. Rowe expressed concerns regarding the process which was used to determine the site selection. Mr. Rowe explained his approach to the review, including: · Is there enough information for a realistic comparison · Does the comparison reflect real environmental effects of the sitting options · Do the alternatives include ways to reduce (mitigate) environmental effects · How are community values reflected in the comparison · Is the comparison understandable Mr. Rowe listed his concerns with Step 7 Site Selection Procedure, which include: · Vendor and Technology ~re unknown · Secondary information rather than site specific · Mitigation in evaluating site options not clearly identified or considered · Opportunity costs of publicly owned lands were not considered · Trading off of operational versus capital costs · How advantages and disadvantages are identified, aggregated and considered in site comparison · Importance of health and safety issues reduced -3- 403 General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes December 3, 2007 Mr. Rowe concluded by stating the evaluation is based on assumptions rather than actual characteristics and effects of a known technology, and is unable to balance the advantages and disadvantages. He feels that two site selections should be carried . forward, not just one. The Regions' Consultants have responded to 67 of the 132 issues previously identified. Mr. Rowe responded to questions of Committee and stated he does not have enough information at this time to confirm it is safe. The Clarington Team will continue to work cooperatively with its Regional counterparts to find ways to resolve issues, and will report back to Council as required. Tony van der Vooren, AMEC Americas Limited addressed the Committee regarding Report PSD-141-07. Mr. van der Vooren stated his expertise in air quality and believes the real impacts of the facility are air quality. He expressed concerns with weighting and ranking of key criteria and sites within the EA Report the air quality and health impacts in the site selection; the direct air quality criteria and traffic; the baseline/background air quality; and the technology options. Mr. van" der Vooren is concerned that the" air quality impacts and ambient air quality testing did not take into consideration traveling distances of the trucks from the main source of waste generation. The local meteorological cOnditions may change site ranking once meteorological data is collected and combined with background ratings and technology options. Mr. van der Vooren is concerned that the HHERA was not directly done, but was done through indirect criteria and was done under maximum possible emissions, and is only generic not site specific. He would like to have seen the actual background air quality of the site considered and have site specific HHERA conducted to consider background of all key risk contaminants: Mr. van der Vooren informed the Committee that the Region will be looking for Best Available Technology Not Entailing Excessive Cost (BA TNEEC). He also stated that mitigation must be considered during the Environmental Assessment process, before the issuing of the Air Certificate of Approval. He stated the report should have taken into consideration traffic changes, background air quality and other media and technology. Mr. van der Vooren recommended that two sites be carried forward through detailed assessments, right through to HHERA for each site, have the baseline studies done on both sites, and understand the technology before it was chosen. Mr. van der Vooren stated that the HHERA was well done, but generic, and it is hard to tell if site specific HHERA would be better or worse. He confirmed that the Region has done an excellent job with the data they have to date and are receptive to our Peer Review recommendations. Mr. van der Vooren confirmed that the trace components of the emission are of most concern. He responded to several questions from the Committee. He believes that the Peel Region site is properly attended by the Ministry of the .Environment most of the time. Truck Cqsts for transportation from the facility were not factored into traffic costs because a final disposal site has not yet been identified. As well, the traffic costs have not included projected traffic from the Highway 407 link. Mr. van der Vooren confirmed that he believes the facility will be equipped with all modern technology, believes his firm is qualified to assess whether it is safe, and confirmed he believes this to be safe. .4. 404 General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes December 3, 2007 Resolution#GP A-663-07 Moved by Councillor Woo, seconded by Councillor Hooper THAT the rules of procedures be suspended to allow Mr. Will McCrae,TSH, and Mr. Mehran Monabbati and Mr. Murali Ganapathy from SENES to present their peer review findings. CARRIED Mr. Will McCrae addressed the Committee regarding Report PSD-141-07. Mr. McCrae indicated his concerns were already presented to the Committee by Mr. Steven Rowe. Mr. McCrae expressed concerns with the inequities of evalutations of the two sites, particularly with traffic volume control. The Highway 407 should have been looked at more closely, especially in regards to the haulage aspect of the facility. He also has concerns with the criteria used in preparing the study, and questioned the inconsistencies such as trailers versus packer trucks. He informed the Committee that not all of his concerns were answered by the Region, and it is his understanding that the Region does not have all the background information at this time. Mr. Mehran Monabbati and Mr. Murali Ganapathy, SENES Consultants, addressed the Committee regarding Report PSD-141-07. Both Mr. Monabbati and Mr. Ganapathy stated that Mr. Steven Rowe presented their concerns they have regarding the study. Their main concerns regarding the Report is the reduction of importance placed on the human health issues. By combining the HHS and environment dilutes the human health issues. They therefore requested the Region to be more clear and to highlight and make transparent .the human health issues. Mr. Ganapathy confirmed that SENES' involvement in Energy From Waste facilities is in the permitting process through "consulting assessments". DELEGATIONS Ms. Pam Lancaster, Stewardship Technician, Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority provided a PowerPoint Presentation and reported on the Stewardship Program including a brief history of the Stewardship Program. In 2005 Clarington Agricultural Advisory Committee passed a resolution to Council acknowledging the disparity of funding between conservation authorities within the Municipality of Clarington. In January 2007 the financial assistance program guidelines were initiated in the Municipality of Clarington and.is funded by the Regional Municipality of Durham. Funding is available for landowners, residents, community groups, schools, etc. The goal of this program is to improve overall watershed health. Ms. Lancaster highlighted the accomplishments achieved through this project including: six tree planting projects, one erosion control project, approval of one Best Management Practice (GPS Unit), combination project of land conversion and erosion control. Ms. Lancaster stated that 34 landowners have been formally engaged in the CWHL program. She also informed the Committee of the benefits from this program such as: allowing landowners to engage in .active stewardship without heavy financial burden, providing technical -5- 405 General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes December 3, 2007 support, and engaging residents in the environment and watershed planning and management. Mr. Derrick McKay provided the Committee with an update on the Courtice Kids of Steel Triathlon which was held on August 26, 2007. They had 129 kids participate, of these 129,50% were from Clarington, 25% from the rest of the Durham Region and the last 25% from other areas. A contest was held for a new name and logo for next year's event was held and the winning submission was "Clarington Kids Multisport Series". Mr. McKay provided the Committee with a synopsis of next year's event and asked for volunteers. Mr. McKay thanked Skip Crosby and Ron Baker for their support, and he requested support from the Committee for next year as well as a grant. Ms. Jacqueline Muccio spoke to the Committee regardjng DurhamNork Energy from Waste, Report PSD-141-07. She expressed her concerns with the health risks associated with an incinerator. Ms. Muccio would like to see the Municipality consider recycling big items such as windows, doors, etc. which she feels would reduce the landfill problem, and therefore an incinerator would not be necessary. She expressed her concerns as to whether or not an incinerator would be safe for her and her children. She would like to see information sessions held during the day for the families that are unable to attend evening sessions. Mr. Barry Bracken spoke to the Committee regarding DurhamNork Energy from Waste, Report PSD-141-07. Mr. Bracken thanked the staff and consultants for the excellent work they did in preparing Report PSD-141-07. He has concerns with the many omissions from and errors contained in the Report from the Region. He would like to see the research redone right .from the beginning with more viable options and with progressive waste diversion. Mr. Bracken believes that if the Municipality of Clarington achi.eved 70% diversion then an incinerator would not be necessary. He expressed concerns with the costs associated with running an incinerator. He would like to see a stabilized landfill instead of an incinerator and he would like for the Municipality of Clarington to declare itself an unwilling host. Ms. Linda Gasser spoke to the Committee regarding DurhamNork Energy from Waste, Report PSD-141-07. Ms. Gasser stated the Peer Review Studies contained valuable information and. she found it to be very helpful. She expressed concerns with the lack of detailed analysis and urged the Committee to adopt the staff recommendations contained in Report PSD-141-07. She feels if the Municipality does not declare itself an unwilling host then it diminishes Clarington's negotiating position. Ms. Gasser told the Committee the public concerns should be taken seriously and they should support the recommendations contained in the Report, which would make the Region spend the extra money on assuring the technology chosen would be the best and the most safe. .6~ 406 General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes December 3, 2007 Resolution # GPA-664-07 Moved by Councillor Novak, seconded by Councillor Trim THAT the Committee recess for one hour. CARRIED The meeting resumed at 1 :30 p.m. Ms. Shirley Crago, addressed the Committee regarding Report PSD-141-07. Ms. Crago lives near the proposed site and is opposed to the incinerator. Ms. Crago is concerned that the incinerator will cause anincr.ease in current health problems. Ms. Crago enquired if the health of future employees of the proposed incinerator has been taken into consideration. She stated that if an incinerator is necessary then it should only be for Clarington waste. She would also like to see the household garbage pick up changed to once every two weeks and recycling every week, as it might help reduce the amount of garbage and increase the amount of recycling. Ms. Cathrine McKeever was called, but was not oin attendance. Mr. James McKeever was called, but was not in attendance. Wendy Bracken addressed the Committee regarding Report PSD-141-07. Ms. Bracken congratulated staff and the consultants on the excellent work they did. Ms. Bracken still has concerns with the flaws contained in the report from the Region. In picticular, she is concerned with the reduction of importance placed on the human health issues and the air quality issues. Ms. Bracken has concerns that the effects the facility may have on Lake Ontario and that the nano-particles were not addressed in the Report. She informed the Committee that if two sites had to be carried forward then both sites should not be in Clarington, one should be in East Gwillimbury. Ms. Bracken's first choice would be for the Municipality of Clarington to declare itself as an unwilling host. Libby Racansky addressed the Committee regarding Report PSD-141-:-07. She agreed with the staff recommendations except for the fact that the data used from 1971 - 2000 is not up to date and therefore is inappropriate to use. Ms. Racanksy has concerns over the plume from the incineration and the effects it will have on the surrounding area, especially the creeks, and she questioned why this was not addressed in the Report. Ms. Racanksy would like to see the site selection re-done using up to date data and have proper comparisons used. Linda Gasser addressed the Committee regarding Report CLD-041-07. Ms. Gasser has concerns the public did not have time to review the report. She feels the public should be aware of the issues in the Report and that having them posted on the website is not efficient. She requested that the matter be referred back to staff to allow public input and comments. -7- 407 General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes December 3, 2007 Councillor Novak chaired this portion of the meeting.

Biddle & Associates 1.2 Owner: 821013 Ontario Limited 1.3 Clarington Official Plan Amendment: . Amend Table 9-2 by increasing the housing target for Bowmanville West Town Centre as follows: i) 250 medium density units to 350 units; and ii) Amend all corresponding totals. . Amend Map A -"Land Use Bowmanville West Town Centre" by: i) Amending a portion of the lands from "Community Facility" to "Medium Density Residential". . Amend Map H2 -"Neighbourhood Planning Unit- Bowmanville Urban. Area" by changing the population of the Bowmanville West Town Centre from 4000 to,4300. 1.4 Area: 2.32 hectares 1.5 Location: The lands subject to this amendment are located north of the Stevens Road extension, west of Regional Road 57, east of Clarington Boulevard, being Part Lot 15, Concession 2, former Township of Darlington. (Attachment 1). 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 On August 28, 2007 D. G. Biddle and Associates on behalf of 821013 Ontario Limited (William Tonno Construction Limited), submitted an application for Official Plan Amendment to permit 100 medium density units on lands within the Bowmanville West Town Centre and immediately north of the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex. The application was reviewed by Staff and revisions were required prior to deeming the application complete. As such the application was not deemed complete until fall 2007. 2.2 The application stems from a Council Resolution of June 2007, whereby an agreement was reached to purchase lands from 821013 Ontario Limited for the extension of Stevens Road. In exchange Council, without fettering itself in the exercise of its legislative powers, expressed its intent to approve an amendment to the Official Plan to designate lands shown as Parcel A on Attachment 1 for residential purposes. The Official Plan Amendment would be submitted by 821013 Ontario Limited and the 802 REPORT NO.: PSD-001-08 PAGE 3 procedures mandated under the Planning Act and the Municipality's Official Plan will be complied with. 2.3 Supportina Documentation A Planning Justification Report has been submitted to support the Official Plan Amendment. The report supports proposed changes to the Municipality of Clarington Official Plan to add a "Medium Density Residential" designation for the subject lands north of the proposed Stevens Road extension. The report states the following: . The proposed medium density use is consistent with the Regional Official Plan. The subject lands are within the "Main Central Area" designation. This designation encourages the creation of people-oriented places, a concentration of activities and the highest densities within the urban areas. . Within the Clarington Official Plan the site is within the "Town Centre" designation. "Town Centres" shall be developed larger in scale, provide goods and services for a large segment of Clarington's population and will develop with a higher overall density than "Village Centres". . The Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plan promotes and encourages intensification and the creation of a variety of housing types at medium and high densities to meet the changing housing requirements of the population of the Municipality of Clarington. The proposed changes to the Municipality of Clarington Official Plan will help the Bowmanville West Town Centre neighbourhood meet its goals. 3.0 LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 3.1 The site is relatively flat and is currently vacant. The Stevens Road extension has been completed, with the exception of sidewalk and sodding. This portion of Stevens Road is expected to be open in the winter of 2008. 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: North South - Brookhill Tributary, rural residential, agricultural crops; Baseball diamonds and skateboard park associated with Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex; Regional Road 57, estate residential; and Clarington Boulevard, and Clarington Central Secondary School. East West 803 REPORT NO.: PSD-001-08 PAGE 4 4.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY 4.1 Provincial Policv Statement The Official Plan amendment application was reviewed in the context of the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement. 4.1.2 The 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 spaces uses to meet long term needs. 4.1.3 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. 4.1.4 The Housing Policies, state 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 serviced 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. 4.1.5 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. Transportation systems should be provided which are safe, energy efficient, facilitate the movement of people and goods, and are appropriate to address projected needs. A land use pattern density and mix of uses should be provided that minimize the length and number of vehicle trips and support the development of viable choices and plans or public transit. 4.1.6 The application is consistent with the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement as it is proposing the development of medium density housing. The subject lands are adjacent to the existing built-up area and will make use of existing infrastructure and public service facilities. 4.2 Places To Grow - Provincial Growth Plan 4.2.1 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 804 REPORT NO.: PSD-001-08 PAGE 5 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. The application would appear to conform with the Provincial Growth Plan. 5.0 OFFICIAL PLANS 5.1 Durham Reaional Official Plan Within the Durham Regional Official Plan, the lands are designated as Main Central Area. This designation encourages the creation of people oriented places, a concentration of activities and the highest densities within urban areas. 5.2 Clarinaton Official Plan Within the Clarington Official Plan, the subject lands are designated as "Town Centre". "Town Centres" shall be developed as the main concentrations of urban activity and provide a fully integrated array of retail and personal service, office, residential, cultural and community recreational and institutional uses. Map C identifies the creek and associated lands as Significant Valley Lands. Lands within or adjacent to a feature identified on Map 'C' are required to undergo an Environmental Impact Study prior to development. Map 'B' identifies Stevens Road as a Collector Road. 5.2.1 The subject site is within the Bowmanville West "Town Centre" Secondary Plan. The subject lands are designated as "Community Facility" with a "Community Park" symbol. The objectives of the Secondary Plan are to provide for housing opportunities at medium and high densities to meet the changing housing requirements in Clarington. The Secondary Plan also requires a connected grid of public and private streets to enhance movement and access, options to reduce congestion and improve emergency access. 5.2.2 The West Town Centre has a population allocation of 4000 and a housing target of 1750, being 250 medium density units and 1500 high density units. The Official Plan amendment proposes to increase the housing target by 100 medium density units, to 350 units, a density of 45 units per hectare which is consistent with the medium density range specified in the Official Plan. 805 REPORT NO.: PSD-001-08 PAGE 6 6.0 ZONING BY-LAW 6.1 Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands Agricultural (A) Zone and Environmental Protection (EP) Zone, recognizing the Brookhill Tributary. In order for development to proceed on these lands an application for rezoning is required. 7.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 7.1 Public Notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject property. A Public Notice sign was posted on the Regional Road 57 frontage. 7.2 As of the date of writing this report, there have been no inquires. 8.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 8.1 The application for the Official Plan Amendment was circulated to various agencies and municipal departments for comment. As of writing this report, no comments have been received by agencies or departments. 9.0 STAFF COMMENTS 9.1 In March, 2006, Council approved Amendments 43 and 44 Clarington Official Plan respecting the Commercial Policy Review and the Bowmanville West Main Central Area Secondary Plan Review. Transportation issues related to the recommended amendments were examined by Totten Sims Hubicki and recommended, among other things, was a new public street being the extension of Stevens Road, to be established between Regional Road 57 and Green Road, to serve the proposed commercial development within the Bowmanville Town Centre north of Durham Highway 2. This alignment would replace Uptown Avenue as a minor collector road but would improve grid road pattern to facilitate traffic. 9.2 The alignment for the Stevens Road Extension is generally located on the unopened Concession 2 road allowance. However, a portion of the skateboard park is located on the road allowance. To avoid the cost of relocating the skateboard park and to save a number of mature trees growing on a section of the unopened road allowance, it was necessary to relocate a portion of the proposed alignment to the north. The relocation required the acquisition of land from the owner to the north, 821013 Ontario Limited (William Tonno Construction Ltd). 9.3 The site is adjacent to Brookhill Tributary which is identified in the Broohkill Secondary Plan as an Environmental Protection area, and intended for a trail system. In order for development to proceed on these lands an application for rezoning and site plan approval is required. The applicants have not advised staff when they wish to proceed with the further development of these lands and have not provided details for the site. 806 REPORT NO.: PSD-001-08 PAGE 7 1 0.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 10.1 The purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirements under the Public Meeting under the Planning Act, and taking into consideration the outstanding comments, Staff respectfully request that this report be referred back to staff for processing and the preparation of a subsequent report.

Council have provided funding of $25,000 in 2005 and $50,000 in 2006/7 to the CIP for the grants and other operation programs (like promotion and brochures).

Currently, there is over $31,000.00 left in the Bowmanville CIP account. 3.0 CONCLUSION 3.1 There has been good response to the grant program. The owners we have met with and provided visualizations to are pleased with the program and incentives provided by the Municipality. Some merchants have proceeded with works based on the design provided without taking advantage of the grants.

The terms of reference for the study called for a community focus group, which was formed in October of 2003 and guided the study to its completion in January of 2005. 1.2 Council adopted the Community Improvement Plan and project area by By-law 2005-009, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing approved the CIP on July 14, 2005. 1.3 The Community Improvement Plan allows the Municipality to provide incentives (grants) to business owners and property owners in the Orono Community Improvement Project Area (the Orono BIA boundary). The merchants and business owners of the area were notified via a flyer of the incentives available. Should they apply for a building permit or works that may be subject to a grant they are informed of such by the Building Division and Planning Services staff. Representatives of the Community Liaison Group, the advisory committee for implementation, speak to the merchants on a regular basis to ensure that merchants are aware of the services they can tap into. 1.4 In addition to the grants program there are other works that the CIP has been a catalyst for. These include the new highway sign on 35/115 refurbished by the BIA, the refurbished signs at the entry ways to the Sidney B. Rutherford walk, the new railing along the east side of the street and poles on the west side of the street, the Orono business and Orono Naturally brochures, assistance in the promotion of Orono and participation in the 175 celebrations. 2.0 CIP INlllA liVES 2.1 General Rules for the Grant Proaram There are a number of general rules within the grant program that are applicable to all grants and then there are specific rules for the different types of grants.

The environmental stewardship programme was established to encourage private groups to carry out works that improve municipal lands, such as valleylands and other natural areas. 1.2 Initially, uptake of these stewardship funds was limited. It took some time to build awareness that funding was available for stewardship projects on municipal properties. In addition, staff have been. careful to direct private stewardship initiatives to the applicable .conservation authority, Durham Land Stewardship Council (for Ministry of Natural Resources properties) and other programmes. 1.3 The purpose of this report is to inform Council of how the funds have been spent and the funds that are remaining in the Stewardship account (carried over from previous years). 2.0 GRANTS 2.1 General Guidelines When approving projects for funding, Staff have been careful to only fund projects that are on municipally owned properties, have in-kind contributions (labour and/or materials) and meet the overall concept plan for the area. Planning Services Staff work closely with Engineering and Operations staff to ensure that the project is in the best interests of the municipality. 2.2 2003 Works Plantings in the Bowmanville Valley along the pathway from Spry Avenue north. In-kind labour provided by Planning Services Staff and Valleys 2000. 2.3 2004 Works Creek crossing in Bowmanville Valley in partnership with Valleys 2000 and Courtice Secondary School students. The funding provided the lumber necessary for the project, the students built and installed the crossing. 2.4 2005 Works Boardwalk behind Courtice Complex in partnership with Courtice Secondary School students. The funding provided the lumber necessary for the project, again the students constructed the boardwalk in sections, in shop class, and then assembled it on site. Plantings in Soper Creek valley along the pathway from Visual Arts Centre north to Hobbs Avenue, in partnership with Valleys 2000 and Bowmanville High School students who provided the labour. 824 REPORT NO.: PSD-004-08 PAGE 3 2.5 2006 Works In February of 2006 the Municipality hosted, in partnership with OPG, a workshop for a number of environmental groups with Evergreen. Evergreen is a not-for-profit environmental group that provides advice and funding for environmental projects. The workshop was attended by approximately 25 people representing a number of different groups. The information provided during this workshop was extremely helpful to a number of these groups. The networking opportunities for the groups was also an important aspect of the workshop. Plantings in Soper Creek valley along the pathway from the Visual Arts Centre north in partnership with the Planning Services Department World Town Planning Day event and Bowmanville High School students. Sponsorship of a workshop for municipal staff from throughout the Region of Durham regarding private wells and septic systems and their impact on the environment. The workshop was provided by Dr. Mary Jane Conboy of the Well Wise Centre which opened in Orono early in 2007. The intent of this workshop was to educate municipal staff (building and planning) to ensure consistent messages are provided across the Region to residents on wells and septic systems. Provided funding for the lumber for Boardwalk at Courtice Millenium Trail in partnership with Courtice Secondary School students. The students constructed the boardwalk in sections, in shop class, and then assembled it on site. 2.6 2007 Works Plantings at Wilmot Creek Nature Area in partnership with the Samuel Wilmot Nature Area Committee, Engineering Services and the St. Stephen's Catholic High School students. Funding of the lumber for a continuation of the Boardwalk at Courtice Millennium Trail in partnership with Courtice Secondary School students. The students constructed the boardwalk in sections, in shop class, and then assembled it on site. This project was part of a much larger project that included the Courtice Lions Club and a Trillium Grant. Funding of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Rangers for a week of their time to assist with projects in Clarington. The 5 rangers worked under the direction of a crew leader, with supplies and training from MNR. The Operations Department provided on site direction, for the pulling of Pragmites in the Black/Farewell Creek wetland areas for 2 days. The remaining days were under the direction of the Manager of Park Development and included one day at the Samuel Wilmot Nature Area creating woodchip walkways; one day with Rev. Frank Lockhart from Valleys 2000 in the Bowmanville Creek removing dead trees and creating paths, and one day with Courtice Lions working on stream clean-up and boardwalk construction in the Courtice Millennium trails. 825 REPORT NO.: PSD-004-08 PAGE 4 3.0 CONCLUSION 3.1 There has been good response to the grant program, to date over $20,000 has been spent; however, the value of the in-kind contributions is more than double that amount. In addition, the net gain for those involved has been an understanding and long-term commitment to the community and environmental stewardship. 3.2 Staff hope to continue to expand the environmental stewardship program in the coming year, there are funds in the amount of $4,690.00 to carry over from previous years. 826 .

Over the past ten years there have been many changes in sign technology, .advertising trends, and businesses needs for advertising and promotion. During this timeframe several municipalities have also faced court challenges in regards to their sign by-laws. Sign by-laws must meet the parameters established by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms which guarantees the right and freedoms of expression and speech set out in it subject to such reasonable limits as can be de~onstrably justified in a free and democratic society. In addition, the Municipal Act has been modified since the Municipality's current Sign By-law was enacted. In order to address these issues the Planning Services Department is conducting a comprehensive review of Sign By-law 97-157. The purpose of the review is to evaluate the Municipality's existing sign by-law and determine how all types of signs in Clarington should be regulated. This includes signs on public or private property and deals with sign standards such as the number, height, size and location of signs. . The proposed new Sign By-law will be crafted in such a way as to achieve the following objectives: . . ensure public safety; · facilitate aesthetic improvement of the Municipality such. that signage should be integrated with the architecture and landscaping not only to identify and inform, but also to complement and enliven the streetscape; · provide commercial and industrial enterprises adequate, flexible means to identify themselves and their products or services, recognizing that the primary function of signage is to identify, rather ~han advertise; · encourage and improve the quality of sign design; · support the Municipality's Official Plan policies and urban design guidelines; · recognize the special character areas of the Municipality such as, but not limited to, the historic downtowns, hamlets and rural areas; · introduce a clear and concise format which will facilitate the easy interpretation, proper administration and maintenance of the Sign By-law; · provide a frar:nework and guidelines for Sign By-law amendment and variance applications; and, · provide provisions for the effective and efficient enforcement in the Sign By-law. 828 REPORT NO.: PSD-005-08 PAGE 3 3.0 REVIEW PROCESS 3.1 Proiect Tasks The main tasks for the review and preparation of a new sign by-law are set out in detail in the work program (Attachment 1), the tasks include: 1) Background research and analysis 2) Determining community expectations 3) Regulatory signage standards 4) Policy interface 5) Signage design guidelines 6) Writing the by-law 7) Passage of the new by-law 3.2 Backaround and Analvsis Staff have already begun to review the Municipality's current sign by-law by preparing a pictorial inventory of signs throughout the Municipality, reviewing the existing sign by- law in conjunction with other municipal by-laws that may affect signage, reviewing regional and provincial regulation for signage, examining the sign by-laws of other municipalities, researching the recent court decisions for other municipalities in regards to freedom of expression, reviewing the Municipal Act's provisions, determining the . applicable policies within the Municipality's Official Plan, Corporate Strategic Business Plan, Community Improvement Plans and Urban Design Guidelines, reviewing past applications for sign by-law amendments and variances, and consulting with by-law administrators from other municipalities, the By-law Enforcement Division and the Municipality's solicitor. This information has been gathered and will be used as a basis for preparing the new sign by-law. 3.3 Community Expectations Public consultation will be an important factor in determining community expectation, and in preparing a sign by-law. In order to foster discussion and obtain comments on the issues related to signage within the Municipality a public consultation paper will be issued. It will provide an assessment of the current Sign By-law and summarize the types and number of applications for sign by-law amendments and variances in order to provide a means of identifying issues to be addressed. The consultation paper will be posted on the Municipality's website and will be distributed to the appropriate stakeholders, ratepayers groups and the BIAs as part of the public consultation process. A copy will be provided to Council prior to public distribution early in January 2008. 3.4 Community Consultation Clarington is a diverse municipality and consideration needs to be given to the different signage requirements and expectations within its different areas. In order to obtain the variations in public opinion a series of four public open houses will be held, one in Courtice, Bowmanville, Newcastle Village, and Orono. The public consultation paper 829 REPORT NO.: PSD-005-08 PAGE 4 will be distributed prior to the open houses and will be available at the meetings. Notice of the open houses will be advertised on the Municipality's website and in the. local newspapers. 3.5 Visual Preference Survey A visual preference survey will be conducted as part of the public consultation process. This type of survey is used as a method of gathering insights into the public's thinking and attitudes towards signs. It consists of a printed workbook containing pictures of signs of different types and in different contexts which are then scored. In addition, the survey asks members of the public for their views on particular signage issues such as mobile signs, billboards, etc. The results of the survey are used as a basjs for signage design guidelines and regulations. The survey will be posted on the Municipality's website and will be distributed to the appropriate stakeholders, ratepayer groups and the BIAs. It will also be distributed during the open houses. 3.6 Work Proaram To assist Municipal staff in carrying out the visual preference survey and community consultation the Planning Services Department will be retaining a consultant, Martin. Rendl who has significant experience with signage issues and the drafting of signage by-laws based on the most recent legal framework (Attachment 2). This consultant has assisted a number of other municipalities with their signage by-laws including Markham, Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, and Hamilton. Funds for this consulting contract have been allocated from the 2007 Planning consulting budget. 4.0 TIMEFRAME FOR REVIEW 4.1 It is anticipated that the review of the Sign By-law can be completed within the first half of 2008. Much of the background work has already been completed. The consultation paper and the visual preference surveys will be distributed in early 2008 and the four open houses will be held before spring. A new Sign By-law will be drafted and presented at a Public Meeting in June. 5.0 CONCLUSION 5.1 The Municipality's current Sign By-law 97-157 is ten years old and a comprehensive review is necessary. An updated Sign By-law will incorporate the sustainability principles and goals of the Clarington Official Plan. It will also aid in fulfilling the community planning and improvement objectives of the Corporate Strategic Business Plan.

Biddle & Associates Limited 1.3 Proposal for Plan of Subdivision: To permit a total of 19 single detached dwelling lots comprised of seven, 10.0 metre minimum lot frontages, and twelve, 11.5 metre lot frontages. 1.4 Rezoning: 1.5 Area: 1.6 Location: To rezone the subject lands from "Holding-Urban Residential Type One ((H)R1)" to an appropriate zone to permit the development of the proposed draft plan of subdivision. 1.34 ha. The subject lands are located on the northwest corner of Baseline Road and Spry Avenue. The lands are municipally known as 200 Baseline Road, being located in Part Lot 13, Concession 1, of the former Town of Bowmanville. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 In 1989, the Municipality purchased the subject site at the northwest corner of Baseline Road and Spry Avenue (200 Baseline Road) for use as a future fire station site (Attachment 1). Subsequently, the Municipality and the Fire Marshall's Office determined the main fire hall in Bowmanville should be relocated from it's location at that time on Church Street to a location. in the vicinity of Durham Highway 2 and Regional Road 57. In 1994, the new fire hall headquarters was constructed in its current location. The lands at Baseline Road and Spry Avenue were no longer required for a fire station. 2.2 In 1997 the Municipality declared the lands surplus and the lands were tendered for sale in 1998. At that time, the bids received were far below the appraised value of the land. In November 2004, Council considered and approved a report from the Chief Administrative Officer authorizing retention of an engineering and planning consultant to make application for a proposed plan of subdivision on the subject lands. By obtaining draft approval for the lands, it is generally acknowledged that the value of the lands will increase. 2.3 On September 20, 2005, D.G. Biddle & Associates submitted applications for a proposed plan of subdivision and rezoning. Documentation in support of the plan of subdivision proposal included a Geotechnical Report, Soil Investigation Report for the Proposed Stormwater Management Pond, Stormwater Drainage and Site Servicing Report, and Noise Impact Study. 2.4 A public meeting was held on November 21, 2005. The Planning Services Department received two inquiries as a result of the public notification process, seeking clarification on the proposal and the notice process. At that time the lots on Street "A" had a 835 REPORT NO.: PSD-006-08 PAGE 3 proposed frontage of 12.0 metres. Revisions to the plan have red uced the frontage of these lots to a minimum of 11.5 metres. 3.0 LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 3.1 The subject property is vacant and currently has frontage along the north side of Baseline Road and the west side of Spry Avenue. The property is considered an infill site and is relatively flat. 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: North South - Existing residential dwellings and an electrical sub-station; - Baseline Road and vacant land presently being developed commercially (Rona and Torgan); - The Bowmanville Creek and associated valley; and - Existing residential dwellings. East West 4.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY 4.1 Provincial Policv Statement The Provincial Policy Statement states that Settlement Areas shall be the focus of growth and that land use patterns be based on the efficient use of infrastructure and services that are available. The existing infrastructure surrounding the subject lands has sufficient capacity to accommodate this infill development. 4.2 Provincial Growth Plan The Provincial Growth Plan encourages growth in built-up areas to intensify development. The Growth Plan promotes better utilization of existing infrastructure. The proposed plan of subdivision does not conflict with the Provincial Growth Plan. 5.0 OFFICIAL PLANS 5.1 Durham Reaional Official Plan The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the subject lands "Living Area". This designation permits the development of residential units', incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure. The application conforms. 5.2 Clarinaton Official Plan The lands are designated "Urban Residential" within the Clarington Official Plan. The "Urban Residential" designation allows residential development containing a variety of 836 REPORT NO.: PSD-006-08 PAGE 4 housing forms, size and tenure. Although some of the lands have been identified by CLOCA as being within the floodplain, they are not in the Environmental Protection Area designation. Based on Map "C' - Natural Heritage System or Map "F' - Natural Hazards and Land Characteristics, the lands do not appear to contain significant valley or hazard land. The lands abut the north side of Baseline Road. Baseline Road is designated a Type "A' arterial road. Type 'A' arterial roads are designed to efficiently move large volumes of traffic and provide the highest level of service. Private access to Type 'A' arterial roads is limited to one every 200 metres. The application proposes no access to Baseline and a Noise Impact Study has been submitted indicating how to mitigate noise from Baseline Road to the rear yards of the proposed lots. The application appears to conform. 6.0 ZONING BY-LAW 6.1 Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands "(Holding) Urban Residential Type One (H)R1". This zone allows single detached dwelling lots based on a 15 metre minimum lot frontage and semi-detached or linked dwellings; two units, with a minimum of 18 metre lot frontages. The application proposes single detached dwelling lots with 10 metre minimum frontages for the extension of John Scott Avenue, while the cul-de-sac will contain minimum 11.5 metre single detached lot frontages. Neither of these lot frontages are permitted within existing zone regulations, hence the rezoning application. 7.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 7.1 Clarington Building Division, Clarington Emergency and Fire Services and Rogers Cable offered no comments or objections to the proposed applications. 7.2 Clarington Engineering Services has no objection to approval of the proposed draft plan of subdivision and rezoning, however they have provided a nunber of conditions of draft approval. The proposed draft plan must be developed as a single phase, and development of these lands will require upgrades to John Scott Avenue and sidewalks along John Scott Avenue and the proposed cu-de-sac. Prior to final approval the applicant must submit a drawing indicating the proposed entrance and driveway location for all corner lots. The Parks Development Branch of the Engineering Services Department is required to approve the final design for the proposed feature pond on the east side of Spry Avenue to be constructed as part of the cut and fill program required for the development of these lands. 7.3 Durham Region Planning Department indicated that the proposal conforms to the policies of the Regional Official Plan. Municipal water supply and sanitary sewers can be provided by extending existing services from John Scott Avenue. They have reviewed the Noise Impact Study submitted in support of the application and concluded that the recommendations of the study appear to be consistent with the Ministry of 837 REPORT NO.: PSD-006-08 PAGE 5 Environment recommended procedures. As a condition of draft approval, noise provisions in the CI~rington subdivision agreement are required for review by the Region. 7.4 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority advised that the preliminary servicing reports and engineering information for the proposed stormwater management, including the cut .and fill proposal, is generally acceptable. Further information required will be addressed through appropriate conditions of draft approval. The Authority requested that a Holding (H) symbol be placed on the zbning until such time as it has been demonstrated that the lands have been raised above the flood elevation. 7.5 Veridian Connections has provided comments for standard conditions of draft approval but otherwise has no concerns. 8.0 STAFF COMMENTS 8.1 The proposed development will allow for the extension of John Scott Avenue to connect to Spry Avenue. This will provide existing residences a second access to the area. Spry Avenue and Baseline Road will become a signalized intersection with the development of the commercial lands (Torg~n/Rona) to the south. This will eventually provide existing and future residents access to a controlled intersection to make left hand. turns onto Baseline Road. It will also provide an opportunity for existing residences immediately to the west of the subject lands to travel north towards the downtown without having to access Baseline Road. Baseline Road is a Type A arterial road and will continue to experience increased traffic volumes. 8.2 The existing residences in the area are zoned Urban Residential Type One (R1) and are characterized by traditional semi-detached lots; two units having a combined 18 metre frontage. The single detached lots proposed on the John Scott extension will have a minimum lot frontage of 10 metres. Although slightly larger than the existing lots on John Scott Avenue, the units will be very similar in size and are considered compatible. The single detached lots on the proposed cul-de-sac will have 11.5 metre minimum frontages. These lots will be slightly larger than existing lots in the area providing additional variety to the area while still compatible with the existing and surrounding housing form. 8.3 The southeast corner of the subject property is subject to a flooding constraint during a Regional Storm. Prior to the closing on the site in 1989, the Municipality undertook an investigation for the proposed fire hall and obtained a flood and fill permit from the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority subject to a number of conditions. The preliminary plan for the fire hall would have left some of the site in the floodplain (e.g. driveway, lawn etc.). In order to elevate the proposed lots and future dwellings above the floodplain, a detailed engineering 'cut and fill' proposal has been prepared a"nd approved by the Conservation Authority. The proposal provides for the creation of a pond on the east side of Spry Ave to provide for the 'cut' required to balance the 'fill' needed on the west side of Spry Avenue to raise the land and proposed lots above the floodplain. 838 REPORT NO.: PSD-006-08 PAGE 6 8.4 Based on the cut and fill program, the Bowmanville Creek flood levels are not anticipated to increase with the introduction of fill within the floodplain. However, the proposed lots and basements of future dwellings must be flood proofed above the Regulatory Flood elevation of the Bowmanville Creek. The dwellings built on these lots will therefore not be permitted to have basements. The consultant has worked with CLOCA and municipal staff to design a retaining wall to stabilize the fill that is required to flood proof the development. The retaining wall will have a height of 0.6 metres along the extension to John. Scott Avenue and Baseline Road together with landscape strip having a 3: 1 grade and total height of up to 2.1 metres. The necessary fill to raise the development above the flood line of Bowmanville Creek can be compensated with an equivalent volume of cut from the proposed Valleys 2000 feature pond. Further consultation is necessary to finalize the design of the pond. The pond which was identified as a key feature of the Valley's 2000 proposal will be built in part through the 'cut and filii work described above. 8.5 A Noise Study was submitted in support of the rezoning application to address the noise . impact from Baseline Road. The study found that noise levels for the outdoor amenity space, rear yards, and second story windows of a number of the proposed dwellings exceed the levels permitted by the Ministry of Environment. Therefore, mitigation measures in the form of acoustical fencing, air conditioning and building construction materials will be required, and detailed as a condition of approval to ensure outdoor and indoor noise levels are within the MOE Guidelines. 8.6 From an urban design perspective vegetative plantings will be required to soften the appearance of the retaining wall and acoustical fence on Baseline Road. Through the landscape plan to be submitted prior to final approval, staff will review the possibility of vine plant material to screen the combined walls and other vegetation to cover the landscape strip described above. 8.7 A Preliminary Stormwater Drainage and Site Servicing Report concluded that storm sewers and watermains are" available to adequately service the development. Stormwater quality controls can be provided through the use of an oil/grit separator manhole. It is recommended that the proposed Valleys 2000 feature pond be reviewed during the detailed engineering design to utilize the facility for stormwater quality control as well. 9.0 CONCLUSION The proposal has been reviewed in consideration of the comments received from area residents and circulated agencies and in recognition of Provincial Policy, Official Plans and Zoning By-law 84-63. Based on the comments above, it is respectfully recommended that Subdivision S-C-2005-0005 be draft APPROVED subject to the conditions contained in Attachment 4 and the Zoning By-law amendment as contained in Attachment 5 be APPROVED. 839 REPORT NO.: .
