THAT Report PSD-132-08 be received for information. Submitted by: Reviewed by: �� David . rome, MCIP, RPP Franklin Wu, Director of Planning Services Chief Administrative Officer CP/df/Iw 20 November 2008 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T(905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 REPORT NO.: PSD-132-08 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 On March 25, 2008, Council adopted the recommendations contained in Staff Report PSD-028-08 to amend the Clarington Official Plan and approve Official Plan Amendment 60, introducing the Brookhill Secondary Plan. This application was non-exempt. The Region of Durham, as the approval authority, approved the amendment on August 5, 2008. 1.2 OPA 60 introduced a Secondary Plan for the Brookhill Neighbourhood as well as requisite policy and map changes in the Clarington Official Plan to implement the Secondary Plan. During the preparation of OPA 60, staff also considered an Official Plan Amendment application, COPA 2004-0003, submitted by the Kaitlin Group Ltd. for a medium density symbol at the east limits of Stevens Road on the north side of the road. OPA 60 as recommended and approved, included a medium density symbol in effect approving COPA 2004-0003. 1.3 Mr. Thorsten Kosak, a resident of Munday Court, submitted an appeal to OPA 60. The letter of appeal objects specifically to the medium density symbol located at the east end of Stevens Road adjacent to the Bowmanville Creek valley. The letter of appeal stated that: residents spoke in opposition to the original Kaitlin applications for medium density on Stevens Road; the medium density is not consistent with the findings of the Brookhill Subwatershed Study; there will be traffic issues at the intersection of Regional Road 57 and Stevens Road; medium density development should be located west of Regional Road 57 in proximity to amenities to encourage walking. Staff, together with the consulting team preparing the Brookhill Secondary Plan; including Planning, Environmental and Traffic disciplines, considered the issues raised by Mr. Kosak in drafting OPA 60 and felt the medium density designation was appropriate. 1.4 The Ontario Municipal Board has received the appeal and has scheduled January 12, 2009, for a pre-hearing conference to scope the issues, and determine the interested parties associated with the subject appeal.

Aug 14,2008 Attention: AX Georgieff,MCIP,RPP FILE# � e e�t Ocr 5,oa•� Commissioner of Planning, Regional Municipality of Durham Topic: Notice of Anneal to the Official play A. -Ament No. 6� r3 The rrY...- -- -•'^ Ciarington Official plan I would official like to appeal the amendment No. 60 to the Clarington Official Plan specifically the location of the medium density residential area adjacent to the South east corner of the special policy arca "Large lot Residential"for the following reasons: 1. 11 of the 12 residents opposed the application of the zoning change back in August 2, 2004 and spoke at a local council meeting 2. 1 attended all public meetings and this part of the study was never discussed even when specifically questioned. 3. The amendment ZBA 2004-027 does not adhere to the Brookhill Sub watershed Study,Class I Terrestrial features, ESA provincially significant wetlands,Bowmanville Creek Valley, Environmental Corridor and the Class #2 Features (50m•- 120m buffer around Class#1) 4. Wildlife impact. There are several groups of deer,coyotes,and fowl that use this area extensively 5. Traffic mergence from Stevens Rd to Highway#57. The amount of trafl is will increase to 4-5 ! times the existing volume. The School 'bus stop was already moved from Stevens/14wy#57 to Munday Crt due to several near misses 6. Bank erosion is extensive along the edge of the tree line. According to Pvlr. Stevens several sections of the bank have moved as much as 30 feet over the past several decades. There has been another landslide into the creek large enough to almost block the entire crcck. With an increase of population there will be an increased chance of people getting hurt. The current farm fence will no longer act as a sufficient barrier. The proposal does Pet cover this issue. 7. The largest area of medium density houses should be located on the west side of highway#57 new the town's amenities, easy access to shopping, schools,public transportation and the recreation center not isolated in a land locked lot forcing everyone to cross a type A arterial road. 8. having 50 plus residence crossing a major arterial road will not encourage any to walk and will w create a safety hazard. Someone will get hurt trying to cross highway#5 7. Recommendation: Move the medium density area to the west side of the highway#57 center of the planning area. There is a low density area than can become a medium density area close to the SWM, trail s, schools, shopping, public transportation,the village corridor and is located in between the other medium density areas creating a balance. The SWM center south of the planning area could be used as well. The area of concern could now be used as S WM area, soccer fields or lower density residential. This would also fit into the plan and be in keeping with the community creating a safer nicer area tc live work and play. Thank-you Thorsten 7(pseck,P.Eng,Ph.D. TOTAL P.002
