Katharine Warren was present regarding Report PSD-041-19 - Community

Ontario Boys Training School and WWII Prison of War Camp 30 – Amendment
No 121 to the Clarington Official Plan. She advised the Members of Council she
is a local resident as well as a member of the Jury Lands Board. Ms. Warren
stated that she is concerned with the increased traffic in the area due to the
proposed increased density that will result with this development. She added
that she is also concerned with the effect on local health ca re services and is
hoping that this is kept in mind as increased developments results in increased
population in Clarington. Ms. Warren noted that she feels public safety may also
become a concern with this proposed development. She continued by providing
several comparisons of nearby historic sites with similarities to the area
surrounding this subject property. Ms. Warren explained that the architectural
style (Frank Lloyd Wright) is very rare, and this style is very low to the ground,

that these are concerning times, as St. Marys has now applied to burn 400
tonnes daily of Low Alternative Carbon Fuels, and the Durham Region is looking
to expand to 250,000 tonnes annually. She explained why extra credentials are
needed and she feels that the ambient air, stack testing, and long-term sampling
system (AMESA) all need oversight and review. Ms. Bracken explained that the
MECP standards, relevant to both of these projects, are very out of date and
there have been major dioxin/furan exceedances. She stated that there was a
dioxin/furan ambient air exceedance on May 26, 2018 and there were questions
and concerns as this was a very calm day. Ms. Bracken added that the Ministry
review was very limited and did not included AMESA date or profiles. She is

Staff are not reviewing the data.

component of planning for healthy, liveable and safe communities;

industrial and manufacturing uses and non-employment uses, including
providing additional clarity regarding Places of Worship that are rega rded

x) That the term “regional economic development corporation” in Policy
1.3.2.5 be changed to “Planning Authority” to be consistent with other
policies in the PPS;
xi) That the Province be requested to confirm whether it intends to release
updated population and employment forecasts for the Greater Golden
Horseshoe that would allow the Region to use a 25-year planning horizon
in its Municipal Comprehensive Review;
xii) That the Province clarify that the upper-tier planning authority is the
level which has responsibility for ensuring residential growth can be
accommodated for a minimum of 12 years, and that the three-year supply
of residential units is also maintained at the Regional level. In addition, it
should be clarified that the upper or single-tier municipality would be
responsible for defining the “regional market area”;
xiii) That the proposed wording changes to Policy 1.6.6.3 be revised to
address and safeguard the financial and operational risks to a municipality
associated with privately owned communal services;
xiv) That proposed Policy 1.6.6.7 of the PPS be deleted related to the
integration of stormwater and water/sewer planning, as the responsibilities
of municipalities in single-tier and two-tier systems differ;

xv) That Policy 1.6.7.5 not be deleted as its removal is inconsistent with
the PPS overall, as the Province and municipalities are to support the
timely planning and implementation of transportation infrastructure
improvements, coincident with the scale and pace of development, and
the failure to provide this statement does not support the principle of
promoting transit supportive development;
xvi) That, for clarification purposes, the term “wayside” not be deleted from
the heading in Policy 2.5.5, as the policy is specific to wayside pits and
quarries;
xvii) That the Province provide guidance regarding how excess fill can be
managed by the planning and development approvals process and
suggest that excess fill can be managed through engineering approvals
for developments following the draft approval stage;
xviii) That the definition of the term “conserved” remain the same as per
the 2014 PPS to recognize that municipalities do not have the authority to
“approve” or adopt archaeological and heritage impact assessments;
xix) That a reference to climate data be added to the definition of “impacts
of a changing climate”;
xx) That the Province provide clear direction to municipalities as to
requirements for mapping of natural heritage systems and minimum
vegetation zones in Official Plans and Zoning Bylaws; and
That a copy of Report #2019-P-42 be forwarded to the Ministry of Municipal
Affairs and Housing, and Durham’s area municipalities and conservation
authorities.

5. Business Arising from Previous Minutes:
a) Library/Museum merger:
A communication from June Gallagher, Deputy Clerk, was read regarding
Council’s approval of Resolution #JC-112-19, where Council directed staff to
work towards merging the Clarington Public Library Board and the Clarington
Museums and Archives Board, effective January 1, 2020 in the manner set out in
the report CAO-009-19.
The Library-Museum merger was discussed in regards to budget preparations for
the year, specifically in terms of a joint or separate budget for the Library and
Museum. Museum and Library staff met with Municipal staff on Monday Oct 7 to
discuss preparing a joint budget for 2020. The Museum board has been asked to
approve a museum budget for 2020 and recommend it to the Library board for
submission. Budgets are due to the Finance department by November 15. There
is a 2% increase cap for external agency requests. Board members discussed
forming a working group to look at the budget to prepare two scenarios and
provide a report to the Library Board outlining the decisions. The group decided
to meet soon in order to meet the deadline. Fundraising was discussed as it was
planned for the Fall of 2019, but not carried out due to the merger. Board
members felt it was harder to find donors who would be willing to donate to the
Page 23
Museum now that it is to become part of a bigger organization, with a much
larger budget. Members also discussed the difference of the Library’s “free”
model compared to the Museum’s “fee” model of charging for programs and
services in order to earn revenue. Members felt it is likely that there could be
challenges with the budget going forward in terms of fundraising and earned
revenues as the Library follows a different model.
b) Strategic Plan
Board members discussed their disappointment with not being able to enact the
plans set out in the Strategic Plan. The desire is to make sure the Museum is
organized and ready for the merging on January 1, 2020.

Presentation: Mani Rajendran and Ron Trewin, Region of Durham Works – Design of
Roundabout at Intersection of Bowmanville Ave. (Regional Road 57) and Regional
Road 3 / Concession Road 8
Mr. Rajendran provided the Committee with an overview of the roundabout design
process that is underway. Bowmanville Avenue is a major arterial road and a
designated truck route, including aggregate hauling traffic from near-by
quarries. Bowmanville Avenue also receives traffic flows from the completed portion of
the Highway 407 extension, and this is expected to increase. There is a history of
safety concerns at this intersection. A traffic signal was installed at the intersection in
2016. Despite this, collisions have still occurred.
The Region, through a traffic study, has determined that the existing intersection could
be modified to a roundabout to improve the overall safety and operations at this
intersection. The roundabout design is underway. A Public Information Session was
held on October 2 in Haydon. The current draft design presented to the public has
considered the comments and experience the Region had gained through two prior rural
area roundabouts constructed in the Region (RR8/Brock St. W. and Conc. 6, Uxbridge
and Lake Ridge Rd and RR12/Pefferlaw).
Mr. Rajendran noted that as the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process
does not require an Environmental Assessment or planning phase and related public
consultation for modifying an intersection into a roundabout, the Region did not have an
opportunity to reaching out to public prior to this design phase. Now the Region is
seeking feedback from all stakeholders including the agricultural community to consider
in the design.
Mr. Rajendran answered questions from the Committee respecting the “semi-
mountable” curb design that farm equipment and trucks can mount on and drive over if
needed, the single lane design, and the widths of the access (approximately 8 m,
including sem-mountable curb and paved shoulder) and circular roadway including truck
apron width (approximately 10 m). As the Region completes their construction
planning, the Committee requested concerns respecting the infiltration of traffic to local
roads during construction be taken into consideration. The Committee also underlined
the importance of communicating the safety benefits of roundabouts and education on
the design features and use of roundabouts.
Project information, including the information presented at the October 2 Public
Information Centre, can be found on Durham Region’s Public Works Projects Portal at
www.durham.ca/publicworksprojects.
Mr. Trewin provided the Committee with an overview of other Regional capital road
program elements that the Region is considering and has implemented. This includes a
review of road entrance width minimums for the accommodation of increasingly large
farm equipment, future road widening purchases, the addition of paved shoulders on
rural roads to accommodate cycling (2-2.5 m on the cycling network and 1.5 m for other
rural roads), and a growing need for drainage improvements in response to a changing
climate. The Committee requested that farmers with property along roadsides where
work is being proposed be contacted in advance so that tile drain locate information can
be provided.

ZONE Clarington: The Committee requested clarification on the status of a series of
resolutions discussed by Council respecting ZONE Clarington. Staff clarified that on
September 16, Council directed Staff to delete the Environmental Review Area (90
metres) and Minimum Vegetation Protection Zone (30 metres) from the draft zoning by-
law amendment, and that these changes will not appear in the draft zoning by-law
mapping until a second draft is released at some point in the future. Further, Council
has directed Staff to pause work on the rural portion of ZONE Clarington for three
months while other provincial reviews (e.g. review of the Provincial Policy Statement)
are being carried out an LPAT appeal respecting zoning for environmental protection is
underway in East Gwillimbury. A series of additional motions are being considered by
Council, but not have not yet been approved. These relate to how provincial policy for
environmental protection was incorporated into the Clarington Official Plan and the
provision of notice about proposed changes to environmental protection zoning to rural
landowners.

Report GGR-003-19
Be it therefore resolved that the Code of Conduct Sub -Committee recommends

resolution of such matters;

6. Jennifer Astrologo, Director of Corporate Services/Clerk, Town of
Kingsville, Regarding Local Health Care Services
That the following resolution from Town of Kingsville, regarding Local Health Care
Services, be endorsed by the Municipality of Clarington:
Whereas public health care consistently ranks as the top priority in public opinion
polls, and;
Whereas Public Health provides vital health promotion and prevention services
based on the unique demographic and economic, social, and cultural needs of
our communities; and;
Whereas the evidence from hospital amalgamation in Ontario and across
Canada is that they have cost billions of dollars and have not yielded the
promised administrative savings but have taken money away from frontline care,
and;
Whereas there is no evidence to support the proposed closure of 25 out of 35
local Public Health Units, the closure of 12 of 22 local ambulance dispatch
centres, and the closure of 49 out of 59 local ambulance services, and;
Whereas there is a deep consensus among virtually all stakeholders that
increasing acuity in our long-term care homes requires additional staff and
resources, not cancellation of the two special funds and real dollar cuts to per
diem funding of our long-term care homes, and;
Whereas our local hospitals have been downsized for an entire generation and
cannot meet population needs while sustaining real dollar cuts to hospital global
budgets.
Therefore be it resolved:
That The Corporation of the Town of Kingsville calls upon the Ontario
government to halt the closures of, mergers of, and cuts to our local health care
services including Public Health Units, land ambulance services, hospitals and
long-term care homes and the Town of Kingsville forward this resolution to all
municipalities in the Province of Ontario.
