7.2 Sarah Delicate, Regarding Report CAO-006-19, Cedar Crest Beach Update
(Agenda Item 13.1)
Sarah Delicate was present regarding Report CAO-006-19, Cedar Crest Beach Update.
She provided background information as to how her family came to purchase their
home at Cedar Crest Beach. She noted that every year the shoreline continues to
erode. Ms. Delicate reviewed the steps taken since the initial flooding took place in
November 2015 which included petitions and several delegations to Council. She
reviewed the current status of the flooding at Cedar Crest Beach. Ms. Delicate believes
the damage done to the shoreline has been caused by the St Marys Cement pier. She
added that she believes CLOCA is looking to acquire these shoreline properties and
that policies are being put in place to lower the area property values. Ms. Delicate
stated that MP O’Toole and MPP Park have both expressed a willingness to meet with
St. Marys and Clarington if invited. She concluded by asking the Members of Council to
assist with restoring the shoreline that was taken by St. Marys Cement. Ms. Delicate
answered questions from the Members of Council.
7.3 Bart Hawkins-Kreps, Regarding Report CAO-006-19, Cedar Crest Beach
Update (Agenda Item 13.1)
Bart Hawkins-Kreps was present regarding Report CAO-006-19, Cedar Crest Beach
Update. He made a verbal presentation to accompany an electronic presentation. Mr.
Hawkins-Kreps noted that he will be responding to Report CAO-006-19. He believes
that St. Marys pier contributes to erosion as Cedar Crest Beach and that this is
documented in the 2018 Baird Report. Mr. Hawkins-Kreps noted that the Baird Report
states that there are engineering solutions to help mitigate the erosion and that CLOCA
is ignoring the Baird Report. Mr. Hawkins-Kreps feels disappointed that Municipal staff
chose not to challenge CLOCA. He continued by explaining the community is not
threatened by the natural dynamic beach and there is no credible threat of riverine as
documented by CLOCA. Mr. Hawkins-Kreps stated he is concerned with comments in
the Staff Report with respect to addressing the modelling approach and resulting data.
He feels that no technical expertise is required to see the CLOCA’s conclusions on the
riverine floods are not realistic. Mr. Hawkins-Kreps reviewed the conclusions from
CLOCA’s model. He added that riverine floods have not happened in recent memory
and that the water overtopping these roads was due to high lake levels and CLOCA’s
flooding model is flawed. Mr. Hawkins-Kreps concluded by asking the Municipality to

support and stand with the residents in defending their residential community and
thanked for their support. He answered questions from the Members of Council.
7.4 Larry Defosse, Regarding Report CAO-006-19, Cedar Crest Beach Update
(Agenda Item 13.1)
Larry Defosse was present regarding Report CAO-006-19, Cedar Crest Beach Update.
He made a verbal presentation to accompany and electronic presentation. Mr. Defosse
reviewed the anatomy of a hurricane. He highlight the details of Hurricane Hazel,
including how the amount of rainfall can impact flooding and the amount of damage that
can be caused. Mr. Defosse illustrated the similarities of Hurricane Hazel to the
flooding at Cedar Crest Beach. He believes that the modelling done by CLOCA is
incorrect.
Resolution #C-250-19
Moved by Councillor Anderson, seconded by Councillor Jones
That the Rules of Procedure be suspended to allow the delegation of Larry Defosse to
be extended for an additional two minutes.
Carried
Mr. Defosse continued by stating that the calculations made by CLOCA are incorrect

Resolution #C-251-19
Moved by Councillor Neal, seconded by Councillor Anderson
That the Rules of Procedure be suspended to allow the delegation of Larry Defosse to
be extended for an additional one minute.
Carried
Mr. Defosse is concerned that that there may be a policy put in place to prohibit the
residents from being able to rebuild their homes if they are flooded. He feels that this
will significantly drop the property values. Mr. Defosse answered questions from the
Members of Council.
Recess
Resolution #C-252-19
Moved by Councillor Neal, seconded by Councillor Zwart

7.5 Lisa Robinson, Regarding Agricultural Land Uses and Environmental
Protection (Item 2 of the Planning and Development Committee Report)
Lisa Robinson was present regarding Agricultural Land Uses and Environmental
Protection. She feels that there was not enough focus on agricultural properties during
the Staff Presentation at the June 24, 2019 Planning Meeting. Ms. Robinson stated that
Clarington has some of the most diverse agricultural areas. She explained that Urban
Sprawl is affecting the agricultural business in Clarington. She feels the proposed
zoning changes are a concern and is asking for the resident’s comments to be heard.
She noted three large proposed developments in Clarington where the residents voiced
their opinions and changes were made. Ms. Robinson hopes the agricultural property
owners voicing their opinions will bring changes and that the agricultural land must be
preserved. She asked if these designations of environmentally protected land on her
property will lower the property taxes due to the fact it will decrease the value of her
property. Ms. Robinson feels that the property owners are experts and they should
have been consulted. She asked how the Municipality plans to protect these
agricultural properties. Ms. Robinson concluded by requesting that Council reconsider
the rezoning of these properties and review the Official Plan to stop the urban sprawl.
She answered questions from the Members of Council.
7.6 Sonya Pratt, Regarding Agricultural Land Uses and Environmental
Protection (Item 2 of the Planning and Development Committee Report)
Sonya Pratt was present regarding Agricultural Land Uses and Environmental
Protection. She advised the Members of Council that she attended the June 24, 2019
Planning and Development Committee Meeting and was concerned with the number of
residents that were directed to the overflow rooms. Ms. Pratt added that she believes
due to the space restrictions a number of residents were turned away. She feels that
each resident affected by the zoning changes should have been notified directly. Ms.
Pratt stated that she requires more information and time to respond. She concluded by
asking that a notification be sent to all homeowners directly affected by the potential
zoning changes. Ms. Pratt answered questions from the Members of Council.
7.7 Gord Robinson, Regarding Agricultural Land Uses and Environmental
Protection (Item 2 of the Planning and Development Committee Report)
Gord Robinson was present regarding Agricultural Land Uses and Environmental
Protection. Mr. Robinson thanked the Members of Council for the recommendations
and noted that this is good first step. Mr. Robinson stated that he is concerned that
50% of land was rezoned to Environmentally Protected (EP) with the approval of the
Official Plan. He does not believe Council was aware and feels that more questions
should have been asked. Mr. Robinson noted that more than 6000 property owners are
affected by these changes. He believes that the recommendations from the Planning
Meeting makes the property owner responsible for justifying why their property should
not be zoned EP. Mr. Robinson reviewed the steps involved if a property owner is
requesting a rezoning of a property. He believes that the previous Council made an
error in not notifying the public with the changes made when the Official Plan was
Page 10

adopted. Mr. Robinson stated that this was not done with transparency or
accountability as required by the Municipal Act and Corporate Policies. He concluded
by asking the Members of Council to direct Staff to correct these past errors. Mr.
Robinson answered questions from the Members of Council.

13.1 Report CAO 006 19 - Cedar Crest Beach Update [Referred from the June 17,
2019 General Government Committee Meeting]
Resolution #C-275-19
Moved by Councillor Hooper, seconded by Councillor Anderson
Whereas on October 2, 1995 Clarington Council passed Resolution C-731-95 arising
out of Staff Report PD-108-95 regarding St. Mary’s dock expansion which confirms that
Clarington “does not concur with the findings of the Environmental Assessment and
Review for the St. Marys Cement Corporation dock expansion” and which cited
Clarington’s concern that the impacts of the existing dock and the proposed expansion
were not fully understood;
Whereas the November 16, 2018 Baird Report “Port Darlington Shore Protection
Concepts” (the “Baird Report”) clearly identifies shoreline erosion, due to interrupted
littoral drift, as the key factor in the dangerous wave uprush threatening Cedar Crest
Beach Road properties;
Whereas this littoral drift has, to a significant extent, been interrupted by the St. Marys /
Votorantim Cimentos shipping pier;
Page 21
Council
Minutes
July 2 , 2019
- 18 -
Whereas the Baird Report also describes engineering solutions to mitigate this danger,
of which Baird identifies Option 3 as the most effective;
Whereas, Clarington values and wants to restore and to maintain the historic community
on Cedar Crest Beach Road as well as the entire residential community on the Port
Darlington waterfront due to duly unprecedented back to back storms creating all of the
lakeshore properties extreme flooding;
Whereas, the Municipality of Clarington has expended significant funds on emergency
services to assist residents on Cedar Crest Beach Road who have been adversely
affected by the interrupted littoral drift and extreme flooding;
Whereas the Municipality of Clarington has lost a yet-to-be-determined amount of public
waterfront along Cedar Crest Beach Road as a result of the interrupted littoral drift and
extreme flooding;
Whereas in 2017, Votorantim Cimentos (“Votorantim”), the sixth largest cement
company in the world, reported a nearly $4 billion net revenue (CDN) and in its 2017
Annual Report, cites a commitment to corporate “Ethics and Integrity”, having placed
first in a ranking by Transparency International, an NGO based in Germany which
evaluates the anticorruption efforts by Brazilian companies; and
Whereas Clarington seeks to preserve its relationship with Votorantim, a community
partner and a conscientious corporate citizen;
Now therefore be it resolved that:
1) Report CAO-006-19 be received;
2) Clarington Municipal Council accepts the findings of the Baird Report;
3) Clarington Staff provide a report to Council on the quantum of waterfront property
and public beach that have been lost along Cedar Crest Beach Road since the
St. Marys / Votorantim dock expansion took place due to erosion and all other
environmental factors and report back to Committee in September 2019,
including in the report a valuation for the lost property;
4) Clarington Staff, including (but not limited to) Emergency & Fire Services and
Operations, provide a report detailing all the costs of the municipal response to
the Cedar Crest Beach Road residents with respect to flooding, including an
estimate of staff time, from April 2017 to present date;
5) The Municipality of Clarington, through the CAO’s Office, the Mayor’s Office and
the Engineering Department, shall enter into urgent negotiations with other
government agencies and the Provincial and Federal Governments, to explore all
funding options for implementation of the Baird Report Option 3 or other effective
engineering solution to the starvation and erosion at Cedar Crest Beach Road;
Page 22
Council
Minutes
July 2 , 2019
- 19 -
6) The options of raising the road or constructing a flood mitigation berm as
referenced in Report CAO-006-19 be pursued in conjunction with shoreline
erosion works and that CLOCA be approached as a funding partner, as CLOCA’s
re-routing of the fish channels brought the marsh closer to Cedar Crest Beach
Road, necessitating the elevation of the road;
7) The Municipality of Clarington, through the Municipal Solicitor, shall immediately
write to Votorantim to request that Votorantim enter into a cost-sharing
agreement with Clarington, and all other government agencies through which
funding is available, to implement the Baird Report’s Option 3 on a voluntary and
“good faith” basis and that any response from Votorantim shall be provided to
Council immediately by way of Update Memo.

metre buffer beyond 30 metres, many question the science behind the 30 metre
buffer distance and its application to spring run-off ditches. Why are these EP,
let alone have a 30 metre buffer and 90 metre environmental review area - “if I
build a shed in this area and it floods that is my problem”.
The area that CAs are enforcing their authority seems to have expanded beyond
the CA regulatory limit.
Man-made features such as irrigation ponds are shown as EP.
Buffers set out by the Pesticides Management Regulatory Agency are not as
large for some fungicides and insecticides; some pesticides have specific
setbacks others do not require them. Typically the application criteria gives a
specific setback from aquatic areas, which are defined as marshes, permanent
creeks, estuaries, ponds, etc. The applicator is to know and judge what aquatic
areas are.
Farmers do not have the same means and resources to do detailed
environmental studies as developers do.
Engineering requirements (geotechnical and storm drainage) compounded with
environmental studies are making it very difficult to afford new farm buildings .
Construction of rural roadways by Clarington and Region often disrupt local
drainage, surface and sub-surface flows. There should be greater care taken with
how these projects affect the adjacent farmlands and tile drainage outlets into
ditches.
Tile drainage improves agricultural yields and changes the drainage regime. This
is encouraged through other levels of government programs. There appears to
be a disconnect between policy making at the different Ministries.
A small rural residential lot with scrub brush in the backyard should be allowed to
erect a shed, garage. Regulation should be practical and use common sense.
Imposition of regulation from early 1970s when no permits where necessary to
what is required now is alarming. Greater balance is needed.
Frustration in community that common sense/practical application is going by the
wayside, not just with draft zoning by-law but other regulation areas.
Direct notification to all landowners is needed, similar to Planning Act
notifications for rezoning and minor variance.
Faye and Amy thanked committee members for their comments, the committees input is
key in making sure we achieve the balance that everyone is striving for.

and water soil erosion, decreased nutrient loss, nutrient sequestration, weed
suppression, and enhanced soil microbes, as well as the secondary benefits of
providing livestock feed and habitat for other species. The use of science in farming is
contributing to the farm’s goals of year round coverage, reduced tillage and increased
organic matter in soil.
Business Arising from Minutes
Traffic Calming: A written update was received from Ron Albright, Assistant Director of
Engineering Services. Bollards installed in Enniskillen have remained in place over the
summer contributing to speed reduction in the vicinity of the nearby park. Alternatives
to the bollards that will not impact farming equipment while still having a positive impact
on speed reduction are being looked at. Once a potential solution has been identified
and the timing for installation confirmed, notice will be provided to the Committee.
Engineering Services remains interested to undertake farm equipment testing with the
current bollard set up, which will be beneficial in refining any potential future installation
in an areas that may be frequented by farm equipment. Anyone interested to participate
in a trial should contact Ron Albright (ralbright@clarington.net) or Rob Brezina
(rbrezina@clarington.net).
Mayor’s Golf Tournament: A written update was received from Jennifer Stycuk,
Community Development Coordinator, Community Services Department. The
Clarington Mayor’s Golf Classic will be held on September 12. For 2019, Clarington
Council has chosen to work with local school boards to establish a bursary program for
Clarington students who are applying for programs in the agriculture or environmental
science field of study. The AACC will be updated when more details regarding the
bursary are available.
Building Code Changes: At the July 11 AACC meeting, the Committee requested a
presentation on potential changes to the Ontario Building Code for farm structures.
Adam Dunn, Senior Plans Examiner, Engineering Services Department, has confirmed
that to date, no changes to the OBC relating to farm buildings have been
proposed. Changes are pending for the National Code that are expected to eventually
be incorporated into OBC, but this may take years. Only a preliminary draft of the
National Code changes has been made available to date and are still subject to
change. An AACC presentation will be further considered after the final changes to the
National Building Code are known, likely by the fall of this year.

Since its inaugural meeting on April 11, 2019, the Tourism Advisory Committee (TAC)
has been busy building a Tourism Strategy. As outlined in the Committee Terms of
Reference, the Committee was tasked with “assisting staff and Council in the
development of a tourism-specific strategic plan.” During its June 27 meeting, the
committee passed a resolution recommending that Council adopt a Tourism Strategy as
outlined below:
Whereas, the Tourism Advisory Committee has been tasked with the development of a
Tourism-specific Strategic Plan, as outlined in the Committee’s Terms of Reference;
And whereas, the Tourism Advisory Committee has developed the following three key
strategic initiatives:
A. In partnership with the Municipality, develop a comprehensive tourism branding
strategy, which is consistent with Clarington’s overall brand.
B. Create a marketing and educational plan for tourism.
C. To quantify the economic impact of tourism, Clarington will pursue different
channels to measure its success.

Now, therefore, be it resolved that The Tourism Advisory Committee recommends that:
1. Council approve and adopt the recommended Tourism Strategy and initiatives;
and;
2. Council directs Staff to work through the Tourism Strategy and initiatives and
report annually on progress and accomplishments.
Assisted by staff, Committee Members went through an abbreviated Strategic Planning
session during a meeting held on May 29, 2019. Committee members were provided
with a presentation outlining current Clarington Tourism activities. The committee was
asked to brainstorm and come up with a list of top three to four initiatives that Clarington
Tourism needs to work on and accomplish in the next few years. Once the

took these initiatives and added corresponding actions to each based on committee
discussion. The initiatives are listed above (A, B, C). Attached to this memo, Council will
find the full Tourism Strategy, which includes the three initiatives and corresponding
actions.
Should Council wish to support the Tourism Advisory Committee recommended
Tourism Strategy, the following resolution is proposed for consideration:

4. Amanda Gubbels, Administrator/Clerk, Town of Warwick, Regarding
Enforcement for Safety on Family Farms
That the following resolution from the Town of Warwick, regarding Enforcement for
Safety on Family Farms, be endorsed by the Municipality of Clarington:
Whereas agriculture is the second largest industry in Ontario, contributing $13.7
billion annually to Ontario’s GDP and is essential for putting food on the tables of
millions of people here and around the world;
And whereas in recent months there has been a steady increase in harassment
of farmers and livestock transporters by activists opposed to animal agriculture
and the consumption of animals;
And whereas the protests have become blatantly illegal in nature with extremist
groups trespassing onto private property, unlawfully entering into buildings and
removing animals without fear of prosecution and even promoting and publishing
their crimes on social media;
And whereas maintaining proper biosecurity is essential to ensure the health and
well-being of the animals cared for on these agricultural operations;
And whereas the recent attacks on farmers homes and businesses have resulted
in no criminal charges laid, leaving farmers feeling unprotected by the Ontario
legal system and afraid for the welfare of themselves, their families, their
employees and the animals they care for;
Now therefore be it resolved that the Council for the Corporation of the Township
of Warwick requests that Hon. Doug Downey work with his fellow MPP’s and
agricultural leaders to find a better way forward to ensure stronger enforcement
of existing laws - or new legislation - to ensure the safety of Ontario’s farm
families, employees and animals;
And be it further resolved that this motion be circulated to Hon. Doug Downey,
Ministry of the Attorney General, Hon. Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario, Hon.
Sylvia Jones, Solicitor General and Hon. Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture,
Food and Rural Affairs and all Municipalities in the Province of Ontario, AMO,
and ROMA.
5. Mary Medeiros, Interim City Clerk, City of Oshawa, Regarding Fire Safety
during Construction Period of Wood Buildings
That the following resolution from the City of Oshawa, regarding Fire Safety during
Construction Period of Wood Buildings, be endorsed by the Municipality of Clarington:
Whereas in January of 2015, the Ontario Building Code was amended to allow
building up to six stories in height to be constructed of wood; and,
Whereas a building permit for the construction of a 14 unit, 4 storey, wood
framed apartment building at 143 Bloor Street West was issued on November 30,
2018 in accordance with the regulations of the Ontario Building Code; and,
Page 58
Municipality of Clarington Page 3
Report JCR-001-19
Whereas during the construction period, a significant fire occurred at 143 Bloor
Street West on June 9, 2019 which resulted in the destruction of the building
under construction save and except for the concrete stairwell; and,
Whereas the exterior cladding and balconies of neighbouring buildings and
several nearby cars were also severely damaged as a result of the fire and
residents in nearby buildings had to be evacuated; and,
Whereas current Provincial Best Practice Safety Guidelines for the construction
of buildings applies only to five and six storey wood buildings and is not
applicable law; and,
Whereas the Province is contemplating permitting 12-storey buildings with wood
construction; and,
Whereas both the City’s Chief Building Official and the Fire Chief strongly believe
that the potential changes need to be reviewed and implemented by the Province
to better protect the safety of the public and Fire Services staff for buildings that
are 4 storeys or higher that are under construction and made of wood including a
requirement for 24 hour security during the construction period;
Therefore be it resolved:
1. That the Province of Ontario be requested to:
a. Review the Best Practice Guideline entitled ‘Fire Safety during
Construction for Five and Six Storey Wood Buildings in Ontario – A best
Practice Guideline’ to ensure it is current and meets the fire safety needs
of Ontario residents and require the Guideline to be mandatory as
applicable law for the construction of all wood buildings with four or more
storeys; and,
b. Clarify that these requirements would not apply to wood buildings
regulated under Part-9 of the Ontario Building Code, such as,
townhouses, semi-detached and single detached dwellings that are three
storeys or less in height; and
c. Consult with the Large Municipalities Chief Building Officials group
(LMCBO) and the Ontario Building Officials Association (OBOA) on
changes to legislation including the Ontario Building Code to address this
safety issue; and
2. That a copy of this Resolution be forwarded to the Region of Durham, all
Durham Regional municipalities, all Durham Region M.P.’s and M.P.P’s, the
Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Large Urban Mayor’s Caucus of
Ontario, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Large Municipalities

That the published schedules be updated accordingly.
16. Motion to Build a New Long-term Care Facility on the Rekker Property
Whereas the Government of Ontario announced in October 2018 that Clarington would
receive 125 net-new long-term care bed licenses to service our ageing population;
Whereas the recipient of the bed licenses, Durham Christian Homes Inc., has indicated
its intention to create a new facility in Clarington, which will combine the new licenses
and those from the existing Glen Hill Strathaven facility, which must cease to operate by
June of 2025;
Whereas Durham Christian Homes Inc. underwent an extensive campaign to find an
appropriate site in Clarington to build the new facility, culminating in an offer from
Rekker’s Garden Center to sever and donate a 3.25 acre parcel of their land at no cost;
Page 62
Municipality of Clarington Page 7
Report JCR-001-19
Whereas land is often one of the most expensive costs in construction of a long -term
care facility, this donation was a major boon for the project;
Whereas Durham Christian Homes Inc. has begun the process to move ahead with
development, but been faced with planning restrictions as a long-term care facility is not
currently permitted by the Region’s Official Plan, or by the Municipality’s Official Plan
and Zoning By-law on the Rekker property;
Whereas consideration could be given to expanding the Bowmanville Urban Boundary
through the Regional Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR) as the proposed
property abuts the current urban boundary;
Whereas the MCR is currently underway, but will not be completed until at least mid -
2022, which would make a June 2025 completion unfeasible;
Whereas the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care has provided clear timelines for
the bed licenses to be operational, there is a serious risk that bed licenses may be lost;
Whereas water and sewer servicing can readily be extended to the site due to the close
proximity to the Bowmanville Urban Boundary;
Whereas the Government of Ontario understands the dire need to build long-term care
beds in order to ease pressure on hospitals so they can be ready for an ageing
population with complex care needs; and
Whereas the Government of Ontario supported the Tollendale Village 2 project in Innisfil
by enacting a Ministerial Zoning Order in an effort “unlock land” and provided a
Ministerial Zoning Order to keep a similar project from being in limbo.
Therefore be it resolved;
That, Clarington Council fully supports Durham Christian Homes Inc. in its effort to build
a new long-term care facility on the Rekker property, abutting the Bowmanville Urban
Boundary; and
That, based upon the increasingly tight timeline and positive social benefit of the project,
the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing provide a Ministerial Zoning Order to
enable this proposal to proceed.
17. Zone Clarington – Environmental Review Area & Minimum Vegetation
Protections Zone
That staff be directed to delete the Environmental Review Area (90 metres) and
Minimum Vegetation Protections Zone (30 metres) from the draft zoning by-law
amendment.
Page 63

Report JCR-001-19
18. Zone Clarington – Environmental Protection Areas
Whereas a draft zoning by-law for the rural portions of the Municipality of Clarington
was released in November 2018 for comment; and
Whereas there has been much concern with respect to the zoning of Environmental
Protection (EP) Areas in the draft zoning by-law; and
Whereas the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) has been issued for review and
comment; and
Whereas the proposed East Gwillimbury Zoning By-law has been appealed to the Local
Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT); and
Whereas Bill 108 proposes to amend the Conservation Authorities Act and regulations,
and the Conservation Authorities (CAs) have been advised to restrict th eir services to
core functions.
Whereas MPP Piccini, at a recent public meeting regarding Zone Clarington, advised
members of the public and municipal Councillors present, that as a Provincial Policy
Statement is being reviewed by the Minister of Municipal Affairs, and movement to
move forward on EP zoning would be irresponsible;
Now therefore be it resolved that:
1. Planning Services Staff be instructed to pause their work on the rural portion of Zone
Clarington for a period of three months, until (a) a decision has been rendered for
the East Gwillimbury LPAT case; (b) there is greater clarity on the PPS revisions;
and (c) it is confirmed that the CAs will have capacity to assist with review of natural
heritage features;
2. Staff report back within 3 months on any changes that have taken place with respect
to paragraph (1);
3. Staff report back on September 30, 2019 on the process for municipal led Official
Plan amendments to the Clarington Official Plan, for correcting errors in EP
designations at no cost to the landowners;
4. Staff report back to the September 30, 2019 on notifying landowners of the EP
changes which took place in the recent Official Plan amendments, as well as EP
changes for Zone Clarington; and
5. The inspection of properties by municipal staff continue where requested by
landowners.

At its meeting on July 2, 2019 Council considered Planning Services Report PSD-030-
19 regarding the addition of two properties to the Municipal Heritage Register, including
816 Regional Road 17.
Council received a delegation from Mr. Steve Holliday, owner of 816 Regional Road 17,
commonly referred to as ‘DocVille’. Mr. Holliday requested additional time to review and
understand the implications of adding his property to the Register, and to address his
concerns, particularly as they relate to the future sale of his lands.
Recommendation No. 3 of Planning Services Report PSD-030-19 was deferred to
enable Mr. Holliday to seek additional information and obtain independent advice, and is
scheduled to be considered at the September 16, 2019 Council Meeting under
unfinished business. Council requested a Memo outlining staff’s discussions with Mr.
Holliday since the July 2, 2019 meeting in advance of its consideration of this matter.
Since the July 2 meeting of Council, staff has spoken with Mr. Holliday, and explained
the process and effect of adding a property to the Municipal Register, and specifically
that:
Including a non-designated property on the Municipal Register is a formal
indication that a property has cultural heritage value or interest; and
Listing a property on the Register does not provide any legal protection to the
property, as only the formal designation under Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage
Act can do so. The primary benefit of including a property on the Municipal
Register is to provide the Municipality with up to 60 days to review a request for a
demolition permit rather than the shorter timeline outlined in the Building Code
Act.

Staff has advised Mr. Holliday that his property is within the North Village Secondary
Plan study area. It is Municipality’s practice to evaluate all potential cultural heritage
resources as part of the secondary plan study process. The Terms of Reference for the
North Village Secondary Plan Study (as outlined in PSD-019-19) includes a Cultural
Heritage Evaluation Report to evaluate the impact a proposed development will have on
the cultural heritage resources, and recommend an overall approach to the
conservation. The Heritage Committee’s evaluation of the cultural heritage significance
of 816 Regional Road 17 will help to inform the broader cultural heritage assessment of
the secondary plan study area. In the meantime, the Heritage Committee has
recommended that dwelling be added to the Municipal Register as a formal indication of
its heritage value.
Mr. Holliday has verbally informed staff that he has sought legal counsel on this matter,
and has been advised not to agree to anything with respect to heritage recognition.
In August, Mr. Holliday inquired as to whether he can pursue a Land Division application
to sever the dwelling and attached DocVille structures from the remainder of the lands
in order to (i) sell the vacant portion of the lands for the purposes of development and
(ii) continue to reside in the dwelling and preserve its cultural significance. Since the
property falls within a secondary plan area for which the secondary plan has not yet
been completed, the creation of a new lot in this location would not be permitted. There
may be opportunity to retain the dwelling and associated DocVille buildings on a
separate lot via participation in the secondary plan study process.
Planning Services staff will continue to communicate with Mr. Holliday with respect to
the possibility of severing his land in the context of the North Village Secondary Plan
exercise at it progresses.
At this time, Planning Services staff continues to recommend the dwelling be added to
the Register, as per Recommendation No. 3 of PSD-030-19.

At Committee meeting on Monday September 9 staff were asked to report back as to
whether certain trees on Tooley Road can be protected by an Environmental Protection
designation.
During a preconsultation meeting for development proposals where a property contains
or is adjacent to any natural heritage feature the policies of the Official Plan require an
Environmental Impact Study be undertaken. When trees are identified on the property
that extend beyond the limits of the natural feature a Tree Preservation Plan is typically
required. The recommendations of these studies is then implemented through a
development agreement. This process is the same whether within the urban area or in
the rural area.
The Municipality of Clarington does not have a Tree By-law that protects individual
trees. Therefore regardless of the Official Plan designation or zoning of a property,
should a landowner choose to remove a tree or trees on their property, prior to
development approvals staff would have no specific recourse.
The trees that Councillor Neal has raised concerns abou t are abutting the south
property line of 3131 Tooley Road. The rear of this property contains part of the
Farewell Creek Valley. Therefore, as part of the Natural Heritage system these lands
are designated Environmental Protection Area in the Official Plan and zoned similarly in
By-law 84-63.
At such time the application is revived or the lands are included as part of a larger
planning related development application, a Tree Preservation Plan would be requested
as a part of an application for the subject lands.

What is Particulate Matter
•Particulate matter (PM) consists of airborne solid particles and liquid droplets
suspended in air.
•Particulate matter includes aerosols, smoke, fumes, dust, fly ash and pollen.
•Particulate matter is classified according to its size, since different health
effects are associated with particles of different diameters.
•The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) identifies
the following different sizes of PM:
o Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) -airborne particulate matter with an
upper size limit of approximately 44 micro metre (µm).
o Particulate Matter < 10 microns (PM10) -airborne particulate matter with
a diameter less than 10 µm.
o Particulate Matter < 2.5 microns (PM2.5) -airborne particulate matter
with a diameter less than 2.5 µm.
PM10 particles can stay suspended in the air for minutes or hours while
PM2.5 particles can stay suspended for days or weeks.

set up at appropriately chosen
sites so that particulate matter
can settle into them for periods of
about 30 days.
Settleable Particulate
Respirable Particulate -PM2.5
•Fine particulate matter, a regional pollutant denoted as PM2.5, is
approximately 30 times smaller than the average diameter of a human
hair.
•Fine particulate matter is one of the major components of smog.
•Fine particulate matter can have various negative health effects especially
on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
•Major components of PM2.5 in Ontario are typically nitrates, sulphates,
organic matter and particulate bound water.
•Fine particulate matter may be emitted directly into the atmosphere as a
by-product of fuel combustion or it may be formed indirectly in the
atmosphere through a series of complex chemical reactions.
Respirable Particulate -PM2.5
•The estimates for Ontario PM2.5 emissions from point, area and
transportation sources (excluding emissions from open and natural
sources) indicate that residential fuel combustion accounted for 56% of
PM2.5 emissions.
•The Cement and concrete industry accounts for approximately 4% of
Ontario PM2.5 emissions.

Point Source Contribution PM2.5
Below are examples of PM2.5 point source contributions from 2 industrial sources, one
being St. Marys PM10 monitoring station SMC1 and the second an open pit mining
operation in Labrador.
Regional PM2.5 Events
PM2.5 events are not typically primary or point source related but tend to be regional in
nature as illustrated below.
Primary PM is emitted directly into the atmosphere from a source, such as a smokestack
or exhaust pipe, or from wind-blown soils or vehicle traffic on a dirt road.
The secondary PM below is formed indirectly in the atmosphere through a series of
complex chemical and physical reactions involving gases such as Sulphur oxides (SOx) and
nitrogen oxides (NOx).

A value of 28 µg/m3 (24 Hr calendar day) is the Canadian Ambient Air Quality
Standard (CAAQS) for PM2.5, developed jointly by the Federal government
and the Provinces, including Ontario, as a step towards the long-term goal of
minimizing the risk that fine particles impose on human health and the
environment.
Achievement of the PM2.5 CAAQS in various airsheds is to be based on the 24
hour 98th percentile ambient measurement annually, averaged over three
consecutive years.
The annual PM2.5 AAQC is 10 µg/m3 based on the 3 year average of the
annual average concentrations. An annual standard helps protect human
health from long term or chronic exposure to fine particulate.

Ministry Audit Program
•The MECP audits the St. Marys PM monitoring network quarterly.
•The audit program provides an indication of the effectiveness of quality
control activities used by station operators and data management staff.
•Performance audits are independent evaluations of data quality produced
by the PM monitors.
•Ministry staff document their findings in audit reports.
•Rotek has been involved in the service and maintenance of the SMC PM
monitoring network since 2011 and have a 100% audit success rate.
