Although the property fronts on Liberty Street North, the subject lands would form an

totals 1.34 hectares (3.3 ac). The property in legal terms is known as Part Lot 10,
Concession 2, in the former Town of Bowmanville.
..
-
BACKGROUND
-
On September 21, 1999, D.G. Biddle & Associates Limited, on behalf of Neale McLean,
submitted revised rezoning and draft plan of subdivision applications to the Municipality
of Clarington. The subdivision would consist of 16 single detached lots and a park block
(Block 17) (see Attachment #2). Block 17 abuts lands that form part of Elephant Hill
Park. As the park only has a l2 space parking lot, Block 17 would be used as a 49 space
parking lot serving Elephant Hill Park.
-
-
-
A revised draft plan of subdivision application was also submitted to the Durham Region
Planning Department for consideration.
-
-
The original application submitted in 1992 proposed four 15 metre single family detached
lots, ten 12 metre single family detached lots, and three 18 metre semi -detached/link lots
for a total of 20 dwelling units.

OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
The lands are designated "'Living Area" within the Durham Region Official Plan.
Residential uses are permitted within this designation. The application conforms to the
policies.
Within the Clarington Official Plan, the property is designated "Urban Residential".
Both the proposed residential uses and the park block are permitted within this
designation. The proposal is within the density range for low density residential
development. The proposal appears to conform to the official plan.
ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY
The lands subject to the application are currently zoned "'Agricultural (A) Zone". In
order to permit a residential subdivision, a rezoning application was submitted for
consideration.
PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSION
Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site
and two public meeting notice signs were installed on the lands.
7.2
As of the writing of this report, a number of telephone inquires have been received.
Although no one objects to the subdivision, residents on the existing portion of Tilley
Road do not want to have additional traffic from a parking lot on the proposed park
block.

8.3 Comments have not been received from the following agencies.
· Clarington Public Works Department
· Durham Region Planning Department
· Durham Region Public Works Department
· Central Lake Ontario Conservation
· Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic District School
Board
· c.P. Rail
9.2 The issue has prompted the Public Works Department to seek a solution to the parking
problem. The Department approached the applicant to determine whether a portion of the
site could be leased for parking purposes on a temporary basis until the plan of
subdivision received approval. Although this arrangement would provide an expedient
solution in the short-term, the Municipality must bear the costs associated with a
temporary facility without the benefit of having a permanent parking facility.

8.l The Clarington Fire Department has no objections to the proposal.

The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board has no objections provided that

COMMENTS
Some of the existing residents on Tilley Road object to the proposed use of the park
block for parking associated with Elephant Hill Park. The existing park has two baseball
diamonds but only a 12 space parking lot. The park has road frontage on Tilley Road
with the existing parking lot having frontage on Maconnachie Place. Previously,
overflow parking was simply accommodate along Tilley Road, Maconnachie Place, and
Apple Blossom Boulevard. Due to residents' objections from the area, "No Parking"
signs were erected to limit and disperse on-street parking opportunities.
-
...
...
-
-
-
-
...
9.3 The applicant had previously shown large lots in place of the proposed Block 17, for
which the Ministry of Environment noise abatement measures were difficult to achieve.
...
-
604
...
-
REPORT PD-124-99
PAGE 5
-
The alternative solution proposes the dedication of Block 17 to the Municipality for the
purposes of a parking lot. In return, the Municipality would permit the applicant to erect
the required noise attenuation berm around Lots 1 to 6 on the north side of the road (see
Attachment #3). The height of the berm would be located along the rear property line of
Lots 1-6 and the side property line of Lot 6. The Municipality permit the remainder of
the berm to be erected on the park area. This solution is preferred by the Municipality
because the parking area is not proximate to existing residents on Tilley Road and utilizes
lands where noise abatement measures are difficult to achieve.
-
-
-
-
9.4
The solution would be implemented in the following manner. Block 17 includes a
overdedication above the required 5% parkland dedication, which would be transferred to
the Municipality. In return, it is proposed that the Municipality would transfer a portion
of Elephant Hill Park along the north side of Lots 1 to 6 equivalent to the overdedication
to the applicant to accommodate the required noise berm. The Municipality would secure
the interim use of the lands through easement until the plan of subdivision is registered
and Block 17 is transferred.

10. CONCLUSIONS
-
lO.l As the purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirements for the Public Meeting under
the Planning Act, and taking into consideration all of the comments received, it is
-
respectfully requested that this report be referred back to Staff for further processing and

BACKGROUND
-
A rezoning application (DEV 94-061) was received on November 29, 1994 for an 18 hole
golf course. A public meeting was held on January 23, 1995. At the time, the
Municipality's Official Plan did not include land use designations for the rural areas.
-
...
Subsequent to receipt of the rezoning application, an application was received on March 21,
1995 to amend the Durham Region Official Plan (OP A 95-006). Under the regulations
contained within the previous Planning Act the public meeting is to be held when a
recommendation report is to be forwarded for consideration by Council.
-
-
An application to amend the Municipality's Official Plan was received on January 6, 1998
(COPA 98-001). A public meeting has not yet been held for this application. The public
meeting held today meets the legislative requirements for both the applications to amend
the municipal Official Plan and the Zoning By-law.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES
Site Characteristics
...
The soils on the subject lands are very sandy. The site is relatively flat and the flat areas are
currently being used for cash crops. The site is also subject to a number of environmental
features (Attachment No.2). The Soper Creek crosses the northwest corner of the site. Here

the Soper Creek Valley is very deep and the valley walls are steep. Active erosion is
occurring along the top of this valley. At the south end of the site is a tributary of the Soper
Creek. This valley is also very deep and has steep valley walls. Both of these features have
been identified as a Provincially Significant Life Science ANSI, and the applicant no longer
proposes to introduce the golf course use on these lands. The subject site is also bisected by
a tributary and pond which flows into the Soper Creek tributary. This valley and pond are
not as deeply incised as the Soper Creek Valley or the tributary valley. This feature has not
been identified as part of the Provincially Significant Life Science ANSI. Water from a
tributary located in Lot 2, drains into this pond. The outlet from the pond drains into a very
deep valley which is at this point part of the Provincially Significant Life Science ANSI.
Surrounding Uses
The surrounding uses of the site are as follows:
East - Agricultural lands and a rural residential dwelling
North - Forested areas and agricultural land
West - Forested lands, Soper Creek valley and related tributaries owned by the
Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority.
South - Forested and valley lands identified as Provincially Significant Life Science
and Earth Science ANSIs.
OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
Durham Region Official Plan
Within the Durham Region Official Plan the subject lands are designated "Major Open
Space" with indications of environmentally sensitive features. The predominant use of
lands within the Major Open Space designation shall be conservation, recreation,
reforestation and agricultural uses. Section 14.3.2 of the Official Plan states that "the
establishment of golf courses shall require an amendment to this Plan". The Region's
Official Plan identifies 6 criteria in Section 12.3.4 that must be satisfied in order to consider
a golf course application.
L1L
...
REPORT NO.: PD-125-99
PAGE 4
..
The Durham Region Official Plan also requires an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) to be
completed prior to the consideration of a development application in proximity to
environmentally sensitive features. The EIS shall identify the natural features and functions,
the sensitivity of the features and functions, and recommend mitigation methods that will
protect the surrounding environment from the development.
...
...
-
5.2
Clarington Official Plan
The subject lands are designated "Green Space" and "Environmental Protection Area" in the
Clarington Official Plan. Lands designated "Green Space" shall be used primarily for
conservation and active or passive recreational uses. Agricultural uses are also permitted.
Section 14.5.1 states that "Golf courses may be permitted by amendment to Section 18.6 of
this Plan in accordance with Section 13.3.4 (c) to (g)". Lands designated "Environmental
Protection Areas" have been identified as those areas possessing "the most significant
components of the Municipality's natural environment". No development is permitted
within an Environmental Protection Area "except passive recreational uses and uses related
to erosion control and storm water management".
...
...
...
...
...
-
The extent of the Environmental Protection Area shall be identified, in consultation with the
Conservation Authority, through the EIS process. The setback for the natural features shall
be determined based on the sensitivity of the natural feature and will not be less than 5
metres in width.
-
-
6.
ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY
The subject lands are zoned "Agricultural (A)" and "Environmental Protection (EP)".
Lands zoned "Agricultural" shall be used primarily for agricultural and farm-related uses.
Lands zoned "Environmental Protection" shall be used for forestry, conservation, and uses
which provide for the preservation of the natural environmental. A golf course is currently
a permitted use within the "Environmental Protection" zone.

PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
-
Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within l20 metres of the subject site and
a public meeting notice sign was installed on the lands.
-
-
As ofthe writing of this report. no written submissions have been received. At the previous
public meeting concern was raised regarding protection of the environment and protection
of agricultural lands. In particular, the use of herbicides and pesticides and the impact these
chemicals will have on the environment are of concern. A question was also raised
regarding the amount of water that the golf course will use. Surrounding farms cultivate
tobacco and tobacco requires a tremendous amount of water for its growth and
development. It is important that the development of the golf course has no impact on the
availability of water for irrigation of the surrounding tobacco crops.

AGENCY COMMENTS
-
The current application was circulated to the following agencies for their comments:
Clarington Public Works Department
Clarington Fire Department
Durham Region Planning Department
Durham Region Works Department
Durham Region Health Department
Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
Ministry of Natural Resources
-
-
-
Comments on this new proposal have yet been received from any of the agencies.

COMMENTS
9.1
Revisions to Proposal
Since 1994 the applicant has amended the application numerous times. The original
application was for 18 holes on 56 hectares of land. The applicant has realized that the golf
course cannot be located within the Provincially Significant Life and Earth Science ANSI
and has amended the proposal accordingly. The applicant acquired the unopened road
allowance from the Municipality and has incorporated these lands within the proposal.

9.2
Consultants Studies
The applicant hired a consultant to conduct an Environmental Impact Study on the original
proposal. In addition to the vegetative and wildlife component of the EIS, a hydrogeologic
assessment and a turf management report were also conducted.
...
-
The Region has hired a consultant to conduct a peer review of the EIS in accordance with
the Regional Official Plan. The peer review of the EIS concluded that further work is
needed. The EIS consultant hired by the applicant is currently completing this work.
-
-
-
The application has been revised to exclude the golf course from the lands identified as
Provincially Significant Life and Earth Science ANSI. However the proposed golf course
lies adjacent to the ANSI lands. The Provincial Policy Statement requires that development
located within 50 metres of Provincially Significant ANSIs shall not have a negative impact
on the natural features or the ecological function of the ANSI. An EIS will address this
...
-
Issue.
...
9.3 Dedication of Land
The Conservation Authority has requested that the applicant dedicate gratuitously all the
Life Science ANSI lands to the Conservation Authority as hazard lands.
-
-
9.4 Application to Remove Trees
An application has been made to the Region of Durham to remove trees from land located
south of the subject lands. These lands were part of the original application. It is
recommended that the applicant withdraw this application to remove trees as these
lands are no longer included in the proposal.
-
...

Act, to provide Committee and Council with some background on the application

Area:
Five (5) semi/link units with properties varying in size from approximately
430 m2 to approximately 490 m2.
'") BACKGROUND
On September l3, 1999, the Planning and Development Department received an
application to amend Zoning By-law 84-63 in order to permit minimum exterior side yard
setbacks of 3 metres rather than 6 metres.

...
! !
The exterior (comer) properties subject to the proposal are located on the south side of
Daiseyfield Avenue. Courtice. The municipal street addresses of the subject properties
are L 21, 27,77 and 83 Daiseytleld Avenue (see Attachment No. l). The lands are Part
of Lot 3 L Concession 3, former Township of Darlington.

The properties have a flat topography and are currently vacant.
The surrounding land uses are as follows:
North - Urban Residential and vacant
South - Urban Residential and vacant
East Urban Residential and vacant
West - Urban Residential and vacant
...
-

4.1
PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
..
Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within] 20 metres of the subdivision
and a public notice sign was installed on each of the five properties with the exterior
(comer) lot on Trolls Road having a public notice sign on each frontage.
...
-
A public meeting for the rezoning application was held on October 18, 1999. Two
residents expressed concern with the exterior side yard setback reductions. One resident
said all changes in the Farewell Creek watershed should be monitored since the
cumulative effect is what must be determined to prevent negative effects on well water
quantity and quality, not simply the size of the development. Another resident asked if
reducing the side yard setback would create a visibility problem for vehicles at the
intersections.
-
-
...
-
The applicant stated he wishes to build houses that were wide enough to meet the
public's demands. [t was acknowledged that they had two similar exterior side yard
setback reductions approved by the Committee of Adjustment but could not get further
approvals trom the Committee, therefore, they were directed to make a rezoning
application. Since the builder on the south side of Daiseyfield Avenue was making a
similar rezoning application they decided to apply at the same time. The applicant noted
the subdivision was fully approved, no new lots were being created and the other
remaining regulations (includinp l(\t coverage) would be complied with.

ST AFF COMMENTS
One of the comments raised at the Public Meeting centered on the impact a reduction to
the exterior side yard setback might have on the stormwater system and surface water
runoff coefficient for this development. It was implied that a reduction in the exterior
side yard setback would likely lead to larger homes and a greater lot coverage than the
by-law presently permits.
The Public Works Department advises the storm sewer system, as in all situations, is
designed to accommodate the individual dwelling unit types that are granted through
draft approval. In this particular case, the storm sewer system was designed to
622

9.1
accommodate semi-detached dwelling units. resulting in a runoff coefficient rangmg
from .55 to .65. This would correspond to a lot coverage ranging from 55% to 65%
throughout the plan of subdivision.
...
-
The dwelling units constructed within this development to date, provided a lot coverage
ranging from 31 % to 42%, with the majority of the units in the mid 30's. The applicant
has not requested an increase in the 45% maximum lot coverage presently permitted in
the Zoning By-law. Approval of the amendment as submitted, would provide a degree of
flexibility in determining the siting of each dwelling without compromising any of the
other zoning regulations (including lot coverage) or the storm sewer system as designed
for this subdivision.
....
..
-
...
It is also noted that roof drainage in this area is discharged on to the lawns. The roof
leaders are not connected to the storm sewer system. As a result, regardless of the size of
the dwelling, roof drainage is recharging the groundwater.
..
...
...
Regarding the issue of a reduction in visibility for vehicles approaching the intersections,
this change would have some impact. However, as shown on Attachment No. 2 to this
report. the change in exterior side yard setback would not impact the site triangles
required by the Municipality. Outside of this site triangle, there are often other
impediments to visibility such as trees and shrubs.
-
..
..
CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the rezoning application to permit reduced exterior side yard
setbacks be APPROVED as contained in the attached zoning by-law amendment (see
Attachment No.3).

2. BACKGROUND
2.l
On September 17, 1999. the Planning and Development Department received an
application to amend Zoning By-law 84-63 in order to permit minimum exterior side yard
setbacks of 3 metres rather than 6 metres.
-
-
2.2
The exterior (comer) properties subject to the proposal are located on the north side of
Daiseyfield Avenue, Courtice. The municipal street addresses of the subject properties
are: 2, 28 and 78 Daiseyfield Avenue (see Attachment No. l). The lands are Part of Lot
31, Concession 3, former Township of Darlington.
...
-
..
LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES
The properties have a Hat topography and are currently vacant.
-
The surrounding land uses are as follows:
North - Vacant
South - Urban Residential and Vacant
East Urban Residential and Vacant
West - Urban Residential and Vacant
-
..
.
PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
Public Notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subdivision
and a public notice sign was installed on each of the three properties with the exterior
(comer) lot on Trulls Road having a public notice sign on each frontage.
-
-
-
A public meeting for the rezoning application was held on October 18, 1999. Two
residents expressed concern with the exterior side yard setback reductions. One resident
said all changes in the Farewell Creek watershed should be monitored since the
cumulative effect is what must be determined to prevent negative effects on well water
quantity and quality, not simply the size of the development. Another resident asked if

reducing the sideyard setback would create a visibility problem for vehicles at the
intersections.
-+.3
The applicant stated he wishes to build houses that were wide enough to meet the public's
demands. It was acknowledged that they had two similar exterior side yard setback
reductions approved by the Committee of Adjustment but could not get further approvals
from the Committee and so, they were directed to make a rezoning application. Since the
builder on the south side of Daiseytield A venue was making a similar rezoning
application they decided to apply at the same time. The applicant noted the subdivision
was fully approved, no new lots were being created and the other remaining regulations
(including lot coverage) would be complied with.

-
-
Within the Durham Regional Official Plan, the subject properties are designated as
Living Area in the Courtice Urban Area. The application conforms.
Within the Clarington Official Plan. the subject properties are designated as Urban
Residential in the Courtice Urban Area. The application conforms.
ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE
Within Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 of the former Town of Newcastle, the
subject properties are zoned "Urban Residential Type One (RI)" and this zone specifies a
minimum exterior side yard setback of 6 metres. The proposed development does not
conform, hence, the rezoning application.
AGENCY COMMENTS
The rezoning application was circulated to various agencies and other departments by the
Planning and Development Department. The comments are:

MUNICIPAL ROSTER OF CONSULTANTS FOR THE PREPARATION OF

-
Recommendations:
-
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to
Council the following:
-
l. THAT Report PD-128-99 be received;
-
2.
THAT the termination date for the Roster of Consultants for the Preparation of Environmental
Impact Studies, as indicated in Section 2.3 of Report PD-163-96, be extended to June 30, 2000.
-
1.
BACKGROUND
-
-
Section 4.3.8 of the Clarington Official Plan requires that an Environmental Impact Study be
prepared for any development application located on or adjacent to a Natural Feature identified on
Map C of the Plan. The Municipality is to retain qualified professional expertise to undertake the
Study, with the cost of the study to be borne by the developer.
-
-
On October l5, 1996, Council approved Guidelines to implement Section 4.3.8 of the Official Plan.
The Guidelines indicate that the Planning Department will develop and maintain a roster of
consulting finns qualified to prepare Environmental Impact Studies, and that Staff will seek
Council's authorization to renew the roster every three (3) years.
-
-
-
On December 9, 1996, Council considered Staff Report PD-163-96 and approved the following
Roster for the Preparation "fEnvironmenta1 Impact Studies:
-
639
...
REPORT NO.: PD-128-99

:.J Aquafor Beech Ltd. in association with Beak International Inc. and Geometrics International
..
:.J Bird and Hale Ltd. in association with Hough Woodland Naylor Dance Ltd., G.M. Sernas and
Associates, Azimuth Environmental Consulting Inc. and Shoreplan Engineering Ltd.
-
:.J Ecological Services for Planning Ltd. in association with Terraprobe Ltd., Cosburn Patterson
Mather and IMC Consulting Ltd.
-
:.J Gartner Lee Limited in association with R.V. Anderson Associates Ltd., Baird and Associates
Ltd. and PMA Landscape Architects.
-
The effective period for this Roster, as approved by Council, is December 2, 1996 to December 1,
1999.
..
The existing Roster of Consultants is due to expire shortly.
-
...
2. REQUEST TO EXTEND PERIOD OF ROSTER
For reasons outlined below, Committee is being requested to extend the period of the Roster by an ...
additional seven (7) months.
-
(i) The process to renew the Consultant Roster is fairly time consuming, requiring staff time to
review Expressions of Interest from several consulting firms and to conduct interviews with _
a number of the firms. Because of the commitment of Planning Department resources to
other higher priority projects, insufficient time is available to properly undertake the process
to renew the Roster of Consultants. Staff from the Ganaraska Region Conservation
Authority and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority are also involved in the
consultant selection process.
...
...
-
(ii) The consultants on the existing Roster have consistently provided very good services. To
date, a total of six (6) Environmental Impact Studies have been undertaken. As well, one
(1) Peer Review of an independently-prepared study was undertaken. In every case, the
Planning Department has been pleased with the quality of service and product provided by
the consultants on the existing Roster.

3. CONCLUSIONS
-
An extension of seven (7) months for the current Roster of Consultants for the Preparation of
Environmental Impact Studies will provide more time for Planning Department staff to complete
several high priority projects. This extension would bring the termination date for the current
Roster to June 30, 2000.

BACKGROUND
Plan of Subdivision 18T -88061 received Draft Approval from the Regional Municipality
of Durham on August 10, 1992 for 349 single detached dwellings and 21 reserve lots.
The applicant's agent subsequently indicated to municipal staff in 1994 that the market
conditions had changed and that the applicant was considering an Amendment to Draft
Plan ApprovaL
') -,
In December of 1996, the Regional Municipality of Durham approved an Amendment to
Draft Plan Approval. that increased the number of units from 349 to 512 and introduced
semi-detached dwellings, street townhouses and Block townhouses to the development
for the first time.
In September of 1998, C1amew Developments obtained ownership of the subject lands
and approached staff regarding a further Amendment to Draft Plan ApprovaL The
primary motivation of the applicant was a desire to realign the extension of Edward Street
from a curvilinear road to a grid road system terminating in a tee intersection with the
southerly extension of Arthur Street. The applicant's position was that the realigned
Edward Street extension is more conducive with a residential neighbourhood since it
would serve to reduce vehicular speed and thereby increase safety for pedestrians and
cyclists. Amendment No.2 to Draft Plan Approval was approved in January of 1999 and
the applicant has registered Phase 1 as Registered Plan 40M-1976.
In September of 1999, Clamew Developments applied for the third amendment to Draft
Plan ApprovaL
OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY
Within the 1991 Durham Regional Official Plan, the subject lands are designated as a
Living Area while the C1arington Official Plan designates the property as Urban
Residential with two associated Medium Density (M) symbols. Urban residential uses
are intended to be the predominant use of lands so designated.

ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE
...
Within Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, the subject lands contain the following
zone categories:
-
.
Holding-Urban Residential Type One - Special Exception ((H)Rl-41)
Holding-Urban Residential Type Two - Special Exception ((H)R2-15)
Holding-Urban Residential Type Three - Special Exception ((H)R3-18)
...
.
.
...
These zone categories allow for the development of the subject lands as contemplated by
the applicant. Therefore, an amendment to the Zoning By-law is not required.
...
5. AGENCY COMMENTS
-
5.1
The proposed Amendment to Draft Plan Approval was circulated for comments by the
Regional Municipality of Durham.
-
5.2 The Municipality of Clarington Fire Department has no objection to the proposal, noting
that they did not find any fire safety concerns.
-
-
5.3 The Public Works Department has advised that Park Block 256 will need to be dedicated
to the Municipality free and clear of any encumbrances and at no cost to the Municipality.
In addition, the Public Works Department notes prior to any engineering approval for
Phase 2, the applicant must provide a servicing scheme for Blocks 253-255. Finally, the
Public Works Department notes that the siting and entrance location of any dwelling
located on Lots 235 and 236 will be subject to the approval of the Director of Public
Works.

7. STAFF COMMENTS
7.1 The proposed plan of subdivision has had numerous revisions since it was originally
submitted in 1988. The current proposal removes street and block townhouses from the
development but still provides for single detached dwellings and semi-detached/link
dwellings on varying amounts of st t frontage. In addition, the plan h: ; improved upon

the grid pattern of roads by adjusting the curvilinear collector road (Edward Street East)
and introducing Ravey Street which resulted in the removal of a cul-de-sac.

7.2
The proposed amendment would removed the 138 Block townhouses from the Draft Plan
of Subdivision. These townhouses were draft approved with the first amendment to draft
approval and slightly reduced in the second amendment. The applicant has advised that
the marketing of the site has indicated that single detached and semi-detached lots are by
far the lot of choice for purchasers.
-
-
-
-
The Clarington Official Plan establishes a target of 100 Medium density units for the
Graham Neighbourhood. The removal of these townhouse units would make it difficult
to attain the targets established in Table 9-2 of the Official Plan. However, the principals
of C1arnew, through another company, recently obtained ownership of the former
Newcastle lumber site in the vicinity of the intersection of King Street and Brookhouse
Drive. 1319164 Ontario Ltd. has submitted the applications to amend the zoning by-law
and to obtain site plan approval on these lands.

These applications include a proposed nursing home/retirement home with 88 rooms and
a total of 175 beds in a two-storey building. Although these applications have not been
finalized, this project would substitute for Medium Density residential development in
terms of scale, massing and general type of use. Block 254 on this Plan of Subdivision
would be included within the lands to be developed with the nursing home component.
Block 255 is to be melded with the lands to the north, which is proposed for a gas
bar/convenience store (see Attachment #4).
...
-
-
-
The current proposal includes a .41 hectare parkette, located to the east of the intersection
of Edward Street and Brookhouse Drive. The original submission from C1amew included
a smaller parkette, .26 hectares in size on the west side of Brookhouse Drive adjacent to
Bloom A venue. The parkette was relocated to this area in part to allow for the removal of
an undesirable cul-de-sac from the original submission. The parkette has irregular
dimensions and a frontage of 39.89 metres which represents only 14.35% of the park
perimeter. The Clarington Official Plan requires that the street frontage of the parkette
not be less than 25% of the park perimeter. Therefore, draft plan of subdivision has been
redline revised to remove Lot 236. This increases the parkette's frontage from 39.89
metres to 58.47 metres and the trontage as a ratio of the perimeter from 14.35% to
20.05%. While it does not meet the target required by the Official Plan, unlike the
Zoning By-law, there is some flexibility with the interpretation of numeric targets. The
applicant has agreed to the deletion of Lot 236.
...
-
..
-
-
-
-
-
The current proposed draft plan of subdivision also indicates that the Graham Creek
valleylands are owned by the applicant. Since the original submission of 18T -88061 in
1988, these lands have been excluded from the limits of the draft plan of subdivision.
There is a related Official Plan Amendment application (COPA 97-014/C) for a 9 hole
golf course within the valleylands. It necessitated the preparation of an Environmental
Impact Study. This related application remains open but inactive.

8. CONCLUSION
8.1
The Planning and Development Department recommends that Council support the
requested amendment and that the Region of Durham be requested to approve a further
amendment to draft plan approval, subject to the conditions contained in Attachment No.
1 to this report.

-
-
8.2
In order to facilitate the Amendment to Draft Approval, amended conditions of Draft Plan
Approval have been prepared. It is also recommended that these amended conditions be

LOCATION
The subject lands are located at northwest comer of Highway 2 and Clarington

-
3. BACKGROUND
-
3.1
Section 5.2.1 a) (ii) of the Bowmanville West Main Central Area Secondary Plan's
commercial policies currently does not permit clothing, shoe, jewellery fashion
accessory, yam and fabric, hardware, furniture, and home furnishing stores on the
Willsonia Industries lands. This policy was approved by the Ontario Municipal Board in
1994 on the basis of retail market evidence submitted by the owner's retail consultant.
The report indicated that sufficient market would be available by 1998 to support these
uses on the Clarington Place Limited lands. As the timeframe has elapsed, deleting this
policy would allow the owner to attract an increased array of retail commercial uses.
...
-
-
...
3.2
-
The Municipality initiated an official plan amendment (COP A 99-001) that. among other
things, deleted Section 5.2.1 a) (ii). Council approved Amendment #15 to the Clarington
Official Plan on May 31, 1999. On October 4, 1999, the Durham Region Planning
Department approved the amendment, a decision that is now final and binding. This
permits the amendment of the zoning on this property to implement this policy change.

TR-67-99

Subject:
TRANSFER OF DENTAL COVERAGE
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THA T Report TR-67-99 be received;
2. THA T staff be directed FORTHWITH to transfer dental coverage for all Municipal
employees from Clarica to Liberty Health with an effective date of December 1,
1 999.
BACKGROUND
Metropolitan Life's Canadian operations were purchased by Mutual Life of Canada earlier
this year. At that timE! Municipal Staff asked our consultants Mosey & Mosey to review
the dental coverage to ensure that the coverage was equal to or better than that provided
by Metropolitan Life. Mosey & Mosey confirmed that a number of coverage codes were
dropped and Mutual was not willing to include them for any claims after they had
purchased Metropolitan Life. In July 1999 Mutual Life changed their name to Clarica.
Although there would be savings for the Municipality to convert all policies to Cia rica,
according to the review by Mosey & Mosey, the coverage is not equal to or better than the
existing plans, and as slLlch this option is not recommended.
Staff requested Mosey & Mosey to contact Liberty Health to find out if they would
provide dental coveras;e equal to or better than that formerly provided by Metropolitan
Life. They assured Mosey & Mosey that they could provide the coverage required.

Mosey & Mosey stated that we would have an annual savings of approximately $14,000
per year due to the consolidation of dental and extended health benefits with Liberty
Health.
Attached is a letter (Attachment # 1) from Kevin Ashe of Mosey & Mosey stating his
recommendation to change our dental carrier from Clarica to Liberty Health.
Also, if the Dental and Extended Health benefits are with the same carrier the Municipal
Employees would find it easier to process claims. Mosey & Mosey have said that the
benefit booklet produced by Liberty Health is easier to understand than the current benefit
booklet.
Cia rica requires thirty days notice prior to cancellation of benefit coverage, and they have

Re:
Benefit Costings/CODsolidatton
Dear Marie:
Further to our recent meeting, please find enclosed a spreadsheet illustrating the savings
as a result of consolidating under one camero As per your instructions, we approached
both of your cumnt carriers with a view to ascertain the savings available should the
Municipality consolidate all the benefits with one carrier or the health and dental with
one carrier.
CUlTently, Clarica (MutuallMetropolitan Life) underwrite the Life, Del', Life, L TD and
Dental benefits. Libmy Health underwrite the Out of Province and the Health benefits.
The spreadsheet is set out as follows:
Current
Based on April billing volumes and rates of existing carriers:
Current pooled premium $11, 16~, 17
Current Health and Dental premium S42,532.58
CI.ri~. Option
Rates based on all business being undenvrittcn by Clarica:
Current pooled premiums would not change at $11 ~ 165.17
Health and dental premiums would reduce to 541,351,50
Annual savings ofS1S,299.28 (inel PST)
Libert}' Health
Option
Rates based on all business being underwritten by Liberty Health:
Current pooled premium would increase by $13,322.61
Health and dental premium would reduce to $41,431.26

Ann\Jlal total premlUm would increase to S54,753.87. An annual increase
of $14. 206.4 S. Annual savings if Liberty Health awarded Health and
Dental only is $14,273.11
Liberty Health L TD quotation generates significant increases to your current costs and as
a result, we recommend you not consider this option. This position taken by Liberty
Health can be attributed to their rclatively new entrance to the L TD marketplace. Public
bodies typically hav'c poorer claims experience and Liberty Health has taken a very
cautious approach te) public sector L TD business to date. This position eliminates any
consideration of awarding all the benefit lines to Liberty Health.
Based on the enclosed findings. consideration must be given to consolidating your health
and dental coveragc's under one carrier. Savings as a result of this initiative would be at
least $14, 273 with Liberty Health and $15,299 with Clarica,
The recent conversion from Metropolitan Life to Mutual Life (now Clarica) has not been
as smooth as transition as promised resulting in disruption to the Municipality's
employees. In addition. Clarica has not been able to duplicate the provisions of the
fonner Metropolitan Life contract
As a result, it i8 oUlr recommendation that the Dental benefit be awarded to Liberty
Health etTeetlve December 1. We do so for the following reasons:
-Liberty bu waived their fee for on line benefits administration
-The Municipality will have on line capability to add and delete coverage, thus resulting
in having up to date data base. This will allow the avoidance of potential ineligible
claims being paid.
- The on line capabdity will anow the Municipality I s PersoMel staff to have immediate
response to claims and eligibility issues,
-Employees will benefit from a single booklet for Health and Dental coverages. They are
less likely to be confused over claiming procedures when there is a single carrier.
In respect to the Liberty Health rates, the current rate change for EHC is April 1 , 2000.
Should the dental (:hange be effective on December l, 1999 the quoted rates will be
guaranteed for 16 months to Aprill, 2001.
I have also enclosc!Ci nine month claims experience for Liberty Health. The trends are
positive with the plan operating at an acceptable loss ratio.

It is recommended that funds in the amount of $19,000.00 be drawn from the Public
Works Capital Budget Account #7212-88002-0261 as reflected on page 219 of the
1999 Capital Budget. It is further recommended that the additional funds required be
drawn from Account #7205-01003-0261 Church Street Reconstruction from which
there are adequate funds remaining.
Note, the quotation specifications indicate that the quantity of trees is estimated only
and subject to change. Therefore, as the total bid price of $20,235.20 exceeds the
$19,999.17 allocation ($19,000.00 1999 tree planting plus $999.17 Church St.
reconstruction), the total number of trees for the annual portion will be reduced to be
within the budgeted amount.
The Treasurer has reviewed the funding requirements and concurs with the
recommendation. Queries with respect to the department needs, specifications, etc.,
should be referred to the Director of Public Works.

It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council:

2.) THAT the agreement with the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board
be approved.
BACKGROUND
As Committee is aware and as was addressed in earlier staff reports. discussions have
been ongoing with the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board regarding emergency
shelters. These discussions centered on the Municipality having access to various
schools under the board's jurisdiction for emergency shelters for residents.
Under the nuclear emergency plan the majority of affected residents would be moved out
of the Municipality. Due to unforeseen circumstances it could be necessary to shelter
some residents outside the Primary Zone for a short period. For this purpose the
Newcastle Village Public School may serve a purpose.
The majority of the time that it would be necessary to utilize the schools would be during
some form of natural disaster. Residents may need to be moved from one area of the
Municipality to a safe area, for their protection. To this end, staff of the Municipality and

new schools are built in areas that may be beneficial for shelters. staff will continue to
work with the school board for their possible inclusion in the agreement.

GREEN FLASHING LIGHTS FOR PART-TIME FIREFIGHTERS
'ECOMMENDATION5:
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1.) THA T report Fd-23-99 be received;
2.) THAT the use of green flashing lights by part-time firefighters, commencing
January 1,2000, be approved;
3.) THAT advertisements be placed in local newspapers to advise the residents of the
Municipality that part-time firefighters will be using the green flashing lights as of
Janu~, 1,2000; and
4. ) THAT a copy of this report be forwarded to the Durham Regional Police, 16
Division.
BACKGROUND
The use of green flashing lights by part-time firefighters was approved and accepted by
the Ministry of Transportation a few years ago. The Clarington Fire Department did not
readily accept the use of such lights as it was new and at the time unproven in its'
effectiveness. There were also concerns related to any abuse that could occur.
Recently, the part-time District Chiefs approached the department and requested that we
review the issue. We have done so and have done follow up investigations regarding the
use of these lights by those firefighters who wish to use them.
Continued. . .. ..
on~
FD23-99
_ J _
COMMENTS
Discussions with the Durham Regional Police have suggested it could be a positive
action. The use of the green tlashing lights would make the vehicles more readily
identifiable. This would assist in following up complaints made to police, by citizens,
regarding firefighters' response to the station for emergency calls.
Staff also carried out discussions with the three volunteer departments within Durham
Region. Chief Peck from Uxbridge advised he was very satisfied with the use of the
lights as was Chief Graham from Brock Township and Chief Miller from the Township
of Scugog. They also advised that when using the lights the firefighters were more
responsible for their driving habits. as they were readily identifiable.
The Clarington part-time District Chiefs have advised that the firefighters would be
expected to purchase the lights on their own and not impose any cost on the Municipality,
which was also a concern as the lights cost $145 per unit. With roughly 100 part-time
firefighters at any time. it would cost over $14,500.
In Brock Township the firefighters' association purchased the lights. When a firefighter
resigns or retires the light is returned to the association. This ensures some control. Staff
is giving thought to making the area District Chief responsible for the use and control of
the flashing lights. This issue will be resolved before use of the lights commences, by
those who choose to do so.
Staff recommends that permission be given to those part-time firefighters who wish to do
so, under the following criteria:
· The part-time firefighters' associations consider purchasing the lights to implement
some control over their use.
· The District Chief from each station has direct control over issuing, collecting and
use of the lights.
· The lights are placed in operation effective January 1,2000 with a follow up staff
report after 6 months, noting their effectiveness.
· Advertisements are placed in local newspapers regarding the use of these lights.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is respectfully recommended that report FD-23-99 is received.
That the use of green flashing lights by Clarington part-time firefighters are approved
subject to the aforementioned criteria,

REPORT:
BACKGROUND
Report ADMIN. 20-99 was considered by Council on June 28 1999 and the following
resolution was passed:
"That Council approve in principle to utilize L.eB.a. property for the purpose of
accommodating a new Bowmanville Main Branch Library as well as to provide for
additional office space for the Administration Centre;
That staff be authorized to take all necessary action and to bring back a detailed
report which, among other matters, shall deal with space requirements, preliminary
building configuration, financing, timing, etc."
Despite the above resolution, several concerns were raised by Councillors during Council's
meeting. These include lack of parking, feasibility of expanding existing library,
investigation of other sites, financial implications, etc.
1. PURPOSE
The purpose ofthis report is to provide Council the necessary and required
information in order to assist Council to make an informed decision. In this regard,
we have taken a systematic step-by-step process to deal with the issue.
The recommendations contained in this Report require Council to address each one
in a sequential manner.

NEED FOR ADDITIONAL LIBRARY SPACE
The existing Bowmanville Library was opened in 1965, at the time when the
population in Bowmanville was about 7,000. Since then, Bowmanville's
population has swelled to about 25,000 and is still growing at a fairly rapid pace.
Council, Library Board and staff are aware of the current acute space deficiency, but
in recognition of other priorities over the last several years, any plan for expansion
or building a new facility has been placed on hold.
In May 1999, the Library Board approved a document entitled "Building the
NETWORK" which contains several objectives. The first objective reads as follows:
"Begin planning for the building of a new Main Branch (Bowmanville) to be
completed by January 2003. Actively work with Members of Council to
further this project."
The provincial standard for library space is established at 0.6 square foot per capita.
The existing facility in Bowmanville has only 0.35 sq.ft. per capita including space
not utilized for direct public service. Throughout the municipality the level of
service is approximately 0.4 sq.ft. per capita. If we calculate only that space
allocated directly to public service, the service level is closer to 0.26 sq.ft. per
capita across the Municipality. A new main library of approximately 28,000 square
feet would raise the standard municipal wide to approximately 0.6 sq.ft. per capita.
These figures were determined using a design population including a growth factor
for a ten year horizon based upon a current growth projection.
The Library Board, at its recent meeting with Council, reiterated the need for
additional library space. Based on the above information, we concur with the
Library Board's submission that there is a need.
Recommendation #2
That Council confirm the need for additional library space in Bowmanville.
3.
EXPANDING EXISTING LIBRARY
Once the need is established, the next logical step is to look at the feasibility of
expanding the existing facility.
The existing library in Bowmanville has a ground floor area of 5641 sq.ft. and a
basement area of 5,210 sq.ft. Building surveys in 1988 and 1995 shows the
building to be generally in good condition. There are concerns for the roof system
which will need to be replaced within the next five to seven years.

To achieve the additional floor space for an expanded new library, two additional
floors are required to be added to provide a total of about 22,000 sq.ft floor space,
about 5,000 sq.ft short of the desired space requirement. After consultation with
the engineers from Totten Sims Hubicki Associates, they confirmed that the existing
foundations will not be able to support two additional floors. If there is a desire to
do so, it could be done by either removing the existing roof and ground floor walls,
place additional foundation to support new floors, or bridge over the existing
structure by new exterior columns. As the proposed method of construction is
unconventional, it could double the cost of standard construction. Further, the
proposed construction methods would require the library to be closed for a period
of 18 - 24 months during construction. Such an interruption would not be
acceptable to the library users, not to mention the moving cost of the library to a
temporary location if one can be found at all. The Library Director estimated the
cost of relocating the library temporarily during construction would be about
$330,000 including lease, wiring, moving costs, etc.
Recommendation #3
That Council confirms that it is neither feasible nor efficient to expand the
existing library and that the most cost effective way to provide new library space
in Bowmanville would be by way of a new building.
4.
DOWNTOWN VERSUS NON-DOWNTOWN LOCA liON
As expansion to the existing library is ruled out, the next step is to determine
whether or not the new library space should be provided in downtown or in a
location elsewhere.
A downtown location is suggested by the fact that the Bowmanville library has been
an integral part of downtown Bowmanville for over a century. A well situated main
library can continue to contribute to the health and well being of the community.
Libraries situated in a downtown area are recognized "draws" to the downtown area
and can provide local businesses with improved walk-in traffic. In addition, the
library can serve as an informal meeting place for those who visit the town for any
reason. This meeting place experience can be shared by everyone in the
community as the library serves users of all ages. At its recent meeting with
Council, the Library Board stated its preference of a downtown location.
Notwithstanding, a downtown location has certain inherent limitations. There is a
very limited land and/or building opportunity in the vicinity of historic Bowmanville
downtown. Further, higher land cost and lack of visitor parking are two major
problems associated with any downtown location. Council must be cognizant of

these impediments in its decision. Once a decision is made, we must I ive with the
decision and be prepared to move on to the next step.
Recommendation #4(a)
That Council concurs with the library Board that new library space should be
provided within the vicinity of historic downtown Bowmanville.
or
That Council direct staff to work with the library Board's staff to report back on a
process that would lead to building a new Bowmanville Branch library beyond
the downtown area.
5.
WHERE IN DOWNTOWN
In the event Council opts for Option B above, the balance of this report would be
irrelevant. However, as previous discussions among staff, Council members, and
the Library Board appear to lean in the direction of a downtown location, it is
therefore prudent to explore the next step, i.e. where in the downtown, either on
municipally owned land or private property.
Municipal Properties
a) Court House Building
The Fire and Court building is a two storey building with a full basement. The
building is currently leased to Ontario Realty Services for Provincial Court, as well
as home to the Oshawa Clarington Association for Community Living and the John
Howard Society. The basement is the Firehouse Youth Centre as well as activities
for the Clarington Project.
In 1994, the building was considered for a Seniors Activity Centre, but due to the
prohibitive costs for upgrading the physical plant and the restrictive ceiling heights
due to ductwork, etc., the use of this building for seniors was rejected.
In order to accommodate a library, the building would require the installation of an
elevator and possibly an external addition complete with new lobby to
accommodate the elevator in compliance with barrier free standards. Costs for
retrofitting this building to accommodate the Older Adults Association several years
ago ranged from $100 to $115 per square foot, for a total cost of approximately
$700,000, a cost that is considered very prohibitive just for renovation purposes of
part of the building. In addition to the cost, all current tenants would have to be
relocated.

b) Division Street Parking Lot
Although this property is owned by the Municipality, commitment was made to the
B.I.A. by previous Council that the land should only be used for public parking
purposes.
C) Former Petro-Can (Brock Service Station) Site
This property is not in municipal ownership at this time, but discussions with the
owner are continuing. Regardless, Council has made the commitment to the B.I.A.
to pursue this property for public parking purposes.
d) Former L.CB.a. Land
This property has the advantage of locating adjacent to the Municipal
Administrative Centre and can be used for a new building containing both new
library space on the ground and second floor and new municipal office space on the
third and fourth floor.
Joint facilities of this nature can provide significant savings in construction cost and
operating cost, as many common areas such as meeting rooms, washrooms, hallway
elevators plus other common building areas and physical plants can be shared. It is
the only site that can provide the opportunity for the Municipality to add the much
needed office space in very close proximity to the existing Administrative Centre.
However, there is no opportunity at all to provide any on site parking. The cost of
providing underground parking is very prohibitive and is not recommended.
Visitors to the new Library would continue to be inconvenienced just the same as in
its current location. If the L.CB.a. site is the preferred location, Council must
accept this as a given for the time being and work on a longer term strategy to
resolve this issue.
Parking
Irrespective where the new library will be located in the vicinity of the downtown,
visitor parking will continue to be a problem, at least for the short term. Despite the
fact that the current library only relies on on-street parking, it is important that off-
street parking is provided with a new facility. In this regard, a new library site
should be of sufficient size to accommodate both the building and parking area.
However, it should be noted that a parking area consumes land which could be
costly in the downtown vicinity and may jeopardize the financial viability of a new
library.
There is very limited option, if any, to resolve the parking issue in the short term. In
l
l
L
L
L
7
the event Council opts for a combined library and municipal office on the former
L.CB.O. land, it is prudent that Council at this time made a commitment to acquire
properties nearby for public parking as these properties become available in the
future. The fund required for future acquisition should be set aside on an annual
basis, and the actual acquisition be subject to approval by future Council.
What has been suggested above is a two stage process. The first stage is to build
the joint facilities and the second stage is to acquire land nearby for parking
purposes. Given all the constraints, we feel that this two stage approach is probably
the only workable solution.
t
'-
Other Privately-owned Properties
L
Should Council decide against the former L.CB.O. site, the next step would require
investigation of privately owned properties in the vicinity of the historic downtown.
In this regard, the Municipal purchasing by-law requires a public process in the
procurement of private interest to build the new Bowmanville Branch Library. The
public process is generally referred to a proposal call whereby terms of reference
will be provided to all in competing for the project.
L
t
-..
t
..
In most cases, a proposal call usually produces a fair amount of interest from the
private sector. However, due to a very restricted location, that of downtown
vicinity, there may not be any interest, and if so, the cost could be very prohibitive
due to higher land cost and lack of competitive bids. This process does not
guarantee a proposal that would be acceptable and/or affordable by the
municipality. It is likely that a lot of time and effort could be wasted with no
guarantee of success through such a process. If the process fails to produce an
acceptable proposal, where do we go from there?
f
i.
l
Recommendation #5(a)
L
L
That Council confirms the use of the former L.CB.O. land for a multi-storey new
building to provide for a new Bowmanville Branch Library and Municipal office
space and to bring forth a report for Council's approval detailing the process and
budgetary requirement.
L
That Council will provide public parking by acquiring nearby properties as they
become available in the future, and that the allocation of funds for such
purpose be addressed in the 2000 budget, or

to bring forth a report for Council's approval detailing the terms of reference for
the proposal call.
That Council approve the use of the existing l.CB.O. building for municipal office
space and staff to report back on the cost of renovation through the 2000 budget
process.
6. NEED FOR MUNICIPAL OFFICE SPACE
The existing Municipal Administrative Centre was constructed in 1988 and was
designed to accommodate 68 employees. Today, the MAC houses 88 employees, a
29% over the design capacity. The physical working environment of most
employees has deteriorated over time as additional employees are being squeezed
into very limited space, meeting rooms are converted to offices, and filing cabinets,
copying equipment are placed in corridors causing safety concerns.
The need for new office spaces to alleviate the current condition, as well as to meet
future requirements must be addressed.
The former L.eB.a. site presents an ideal location to solve both the short term and
long term needs for additional office space. The long term scenario would see a
new building wing constructed on this site, while the short term solution would be
to renovate the existing building.
As the Library Board has expressed the need for an expanded Bowmanville Main
Library, an opportunity presents itself for the Municipality and the Library Board to
jointly share a new building, thus, significantly reducing the cost of financing two
separate projects.
If the former L.eB.a. building is not selected for the library/MAC expansion, the
Municipality should consider utilizing the existing building to accommodate current
departmental needs and storage. The building could be modified to include
meeting rooms, office areas and storage in the interim.
It is estimated that to modify the building to accommodate municipal purposes, the
project would include upgrades to egress and aggress, building code compliance
and upgrades to the physical plant.
7. FINANCING THE NEW LIBRARY
Existing Debenture
The Municipal tax base currently supports a debenture of $5.5 million, which was a
combined issue for the Municipal Administrative Centre ($2.5 million) and the
Rickard Recreation Complex ($3.0 million). Neither of these projects had
l
L
l
L
L
L
L
L
9
development charge funding due to the timing of their construction. The annual
debenture payment for interest and principal repayment is approximately $730,000.
The term of this debenture is 15 years, with interest varying from 9.25% in 1988 to
11.25% in 2003. The last payment is made in 2003.
Scenario A - Combined Facility - Proposed New Debenture
The summary of the impact of proceeding with a combined facility or stand alone
projects is detailed on Schedule A attached.
Under Scenario A, where the facility is combined to accommodate the Library Main
Branch and an expansion to the existing Municipal Administrative Centre, the
proposed financing to construct would require a debenture of approximately $7.2
million. The combined facility allows some shared use of the facility, it would
reduce the cost to construct, and thereby the debenture repayment cost, when
compared to stand-alone separately constructed projects.
t
....
The repayment of the debenture is proposed to be drawn from the Development
Charge Library Reserve Fund to the extent allowable under the Development
Charges Act and from the retirement of the existing debenture from the tax base
after 2003.
L
L
L
l
L
L
L
L
L
L
Attachment #1 to the summary of the capital analysis (Schedule A) shows some of
the details related to timing. The proposed timing of the project identifies
construction beginning in 2001 with completion by December 2002. The
debenture proceeds would be required in early to mid 2001, which would leave the
repayment schedule starting in early 2002. At this point, all projections are
estimates only, and are based on preliminary discussions with the Region of
Durham, who float debentures for all area municipalities. The interest rate for a
15-year debenture has been estimated at 7%. The repayment is estimated at
approximately $995,200, which includes approximately $93,200 financing from the
Development Charge Library Reserve Fund.
The current debenture retires with a final payment in 2003 of approximately
$730,000. Therefore there will be two years; 2002 and 2003, that will require
financing from alternate sources until the current debenture payment can be rolled
over to cover the proposed new debenture.
It is proposed that the tax base be increased gradually between 2000, to 2003 to
incorporate the increase in the overall payment from the current $730,000 to the
proposed $902,000 (net of $93,200 from the Library Development Charges). It is
anticipated that approximately $50,000 be added in 2000, increasing to an annual
budget impact of $75,000 in 2003. These funds would be transferred to the
current Reserve Fund for Debenture Retirement, and be available for the first

repayment in early 2002. The proposed increase in tax support directed to this
debenture repayment is approximately $255,000. This amount includes the
increases in annual budget referred to here.
The Reserve Fund for Debenture Retirement currently has a balance of
approximately $1,000,000. It is anticipated that with interest accumulation and the
added tax increase for future debenture repayment, the fund will accommodate the
first year's payment in 2002 of approximately $902,000, plus approximately
$93,200 from the Development Charge Reserve Fund. The second year of
repayment will require the remaining funds from the Debenture Retirement Reserve
Fund and an alternate source of funds in the amount of approximately $786,000. It
is suggested that the Working Funds Reserve be used for this purpose. The current
balance in the Working Funds Reserve is approximately $1 million. Although it is
not recommended that this reserve be depleted substantially, if there are surplus
funds in any given year, they are transferred to this fund for rate stabilization, and
the recent past which has produced sufficient surplus to allow this fund to build up
are hopeful to continue.
The Library Development Charge Reserve Fund is in a negative balance of
approximately $1.6 million resulting from the construction of the Courtice Library
in advance of the collection of the full value of charges under the previous
Development Charge Legislation. It is not recommended that the fund continue to
decline into a more severe negative balance. Consequently, if the project proceeds
before the fund has accumulated sufficient funds to bring it into a positive balance,
it is recommended that the Municipal Capital Works Reserve Fund interim finance
the debenture payment, without interest, until the fund has accumulated sufficient
to repay the charge.
Scenario B - Stand Alone Facilities - Library & M.A.C. Expansion - Proposed New
Debenture
If the project proceeds with both projects going ahead on a stand alone basis, the
shared use portions of the Library is eliminated, thereby increasing the overall
square footage requirement from 24,000 square feet in the combined facility, to
32,000 square feet. The additional footage accommodates meeting rooms,
entrances, shared walkways etc. that are combined in the shared use facility.
The construction cost and repayment details for the stand-alone facilities are shown
on attachment #2. Using a reasonable estimated land cost based on market value
and the same cost to construct of $150/sq. ft., the cost increases the debenture
requirement to approximately $9.5 million from the estimated $7.2 million for the
combined project. The increased debenture results in an increase in the annual
repayment amount from the estimated $995,000 to an estimated $1.3 million. As
stated above, the existing debenture will be complete at the end of 2003, and is the

current payment amount eligible for roll over to cover a new debenture in 2004.
Therefore, financing is required between 2002 and 2004 when the repayment of a
new debenture begins. Under the combined scenario, the interim financing is
covered by a combination of the Library Development Charge Reserve Fund and
the tax base. In the stand-alone scenario, the increase of approximately $300,000
requires that the Development Charge Reserve Fund contribute an additional
$100,000 and the tax base an additional $200,000.
If both facilities are constructed separately, the total cost, including the value of the
first two years of debenture repayment, increases from an estimated $9.3 million to
an estimated $12 million.
8.
OPERATING IMPLICATIONS
Whether or not the new library space is provided through a stand alone building or
joint with municipal office space, the construction of a new main branch for the
Clarington Public Library has significant implications in terms of the tax impact for
operation~ There will be increased circulation, staffing and equipment requirements
for the proposed larger facility. The tax impact for operations is in addition to the
tax support of the debenture recommendation. The Library Director estimates a tax
impact to run the new facility at about $300,000.
In order to accommodate the operating tax impact, the Library Director will
recommend to Council increases in the tax impact of annual budgets over the next
few years during construction. Although the tax implications will be put before
Council for approval on an annual basis, it must be noted that proceeding with the
expanded Library building will have a direct impact on the tax base resulting from
operations.
The cost of furniture and fixtures is also a cost not related to the value of
construction and is not anticipated to change under both scenarios. The estimated
value of furniture and fixtures, including computer equipment, is $1 million for the
Library and $50,000 for the expanded Municipal Administrative Centre.
The expansion of the Municipal Administrative Centre is anticipated to have
minimal operational implications, (estimated at $20,000 for utilities etc.), as it will
accommodate the overcrowding situation that currently exists.

of arms. Flags are available in various sizes - 4'x6'; 3'x5'; table top 4"x6" and

currently fly at all municipal buildings and the Region of Durham Headquarters.
6.4 Volunteer Service Recognition - Working with the Municipal Clerk's Department
this function is held every 3 years (middle year of Council's term). The event

6.6 Video Contest -In 1998, the (then) Marketing, Tourism & Economic Development
Office offered a contest for residents (A Day in the Life of Clarington). This special
program resulted in the Municipality updating and increasing their library of
photographs, which are to promote this community to others. The Video Contest
was thought to be an extension of this original program. Special posters and
registration forms were developed and circulated throughout the Municipality. As
of the close of the contest, 3 video tapes were received. Each nominee will be
recognized for his or her effort and participation at a future meeting of Council. The
Grand Prizewinner will be announced at that time. Overall, this special program
was not as successful as originally hoped, however, the process has been
reviewed and we are learning from this experience.
6.7 Rubber Duck Derby - MTC was an active part of organizing committee providing
communications liaison between the committee and the Municipality. The
Municipality used part of this event to mark our 25th Anniversary as a community.
We provided specialized amusements and promotional support to heighten both
local and regional awareness of this event.
6.8 Durham '99 Tent Event - Working with one of our part-time Tourism Officers, this
event was part of the Durham '99 schedule of events. The Municipality had a 20 x
20 tent in which we promoted the opportunities of Clarington. The major difficulty
encountered was that this event ran simultaneously with the Rubber Duck Derby.

Community Profile (translated into Mandarin) were a part of the presentation to the
Clarington business community.

organized on a request basis. Since starting, we have received requests to initiate
a "step-on guide" program that will debut in 2000.

6.16 Community Profile - The base document produced earlier this year was translated
into Mandarin as a result of the offer from the President of the Great Lakes
College of Toronto's request to have this information available in their international
offices. Other translations (e.g. into French) may be considered in the future.
6.17 Opening of Carson Elliott Skate Park - Assisting the Public Works Department in
designing the event invitation and program. Also provided assistance in notifying
the news media to provide coverage of this special function.

8.0 ADVERTISING:
8.1 Corporate advertisements were created using many of the photos received
through the 1998 "Day in the Life of Claringtonll photo contest. These photos have
formed the basis of a very strong photo library which the Marketing, Tourism &
Communications Office continues to draw on for publications and the web site.
8.2 The purpose of any advertising campaign is to draw attention to the focus of the
plan - the Municipality of Clarington. Three US based publications were used in
this program. Of the three only ("lnf~ has ;Jroduced a reasonable number of leads

for follow-up. As per the Municipality's Agreement, these leads are forwarded to
the Board of Trade for follow-up. In view of this less than satisfactory return on
investment, the Marketing, Tourism & Communications Office is investigating other
opportunities in 2000 to promote Clarington as a place to visit, a place to live and a
place to do business. The recommendations for 2000 will be contained in the
report on the MTC Marketing Strategy to be submitted to for Council review prior to
the end of 1999 and budget deliberations.
9.0 OTHER:
9.1 Year-round (daily) operation of the Clarington Tourism Office - Local residents
continue to access the services of this office when hosting visiting friends and
relatives. Visitors from outside of the community continue to take advantage of the
information available. Staff, in recent months, has designed a series of day-trip
tours of Clarington. These are well received by visitors to the Office. The addition
of the play equipment and picnic tables has also been well received. A solution to
the lack of public washrooms is to be addressed in the next capital budget.
9.2 Placement student - Stephanie Parrott, a placement student from Bowmanville
High School, is currently working of a special project for this office. In 1996, when
the Tourism branch first opened, a survey of our tourism partners was completed
and now it is time to review our progress. Stephanie is reviewing the status of
tourism services in Clarington through ongoing research and will conduct a short
survey with tourism representatives. The study will be completed around the
beginning of the new year.
9.3 Purchase and retail sales of souvenir/promotional products and casual wear. The
Clarington products are being widely used to promote this community. The quality
of our casual clothing products continues to improve, as do the promotional
products that we have in stock for special guests and promotions.
10.0 FUTURE PROJECTS:
The following are projects known at the time of writing. As we get closer to the
Millennium, it is anticipated that the project list will change.
10.1 8th Night (working title) Millennium Celebrations - scheduled for 'ar uary 8,2000.

its launch in 1996. The available technologies have changed significantly sInce
then and, through re-design, we will optimize the web-site to be innovative with
... graphics, information and interactive forms. It is anticipated that the re-design
could take 4-6 months to complete - the current site will remain available until we
are ready to re-Iaunch.

11.0 COMMENTS:
11.1 The workload in the Marketing, Tourism & Communications has increased at an
unexpected rate since the beginning of 1999. Through the course of 1999, more
municipal departments and community organizations have discovered the MTC
Office and the resources that are available to them. This report has served to
report on the scope of the work accomplished this year.
11.2 As the budget process for the year 2000 approaches, definitive limits will be
established to facilitate the workload of the Marketing, Tourism and
Communications Office. The primary goal of this Office is to promote the
Municipality both internally and externally. Customer/client service is of primary
importance. Balancing the projects of Marketing, Tourism an~ Communications will
ensure that this Office's clients will continue to receive the high standard of quality
that they expect.

THAT the recommendation to declare the easterly portion of Block 43 in Plan 40M-
11787, the Westlake Subdivision to be surplus be approved; and
THAT staff initiate the appropriate procedures for the sale of this property.
BACKGROUND:
On November 1 st, 1999 Report ADMI N-31-99 was dealt with at the General Purpose
and administration Committee Meeting. The Committee tabled the report for staff to
provide comment if the referenced lands are currently being used for soccer and if
there is a need for soccer pitches in the Municipality.
PUBLIC WORKS COMMENTS:
The open space lands are not being permitted by the Municipality for use as a soccer
pitch. The lands are not conducive for use as a soccer pitch for the following reasons:
1. Size and geometrics of site do not permit the construction of a regular (senior
size SOm x 100m) soccer pitch, only mini size could be accommodated;
2. Site was not accepted nor designed for use as a soccer pitch, only passive
recreational use;
3. The grading and drainage of the area is not ideal;

4.
The area is bound by an open channel and storm water management pond;
and
Pedestrian access is only available from Solina Road.
..
5.
..
2.2
From our discussions with the soccer organizations, there is a need to provide more
soccer fields, however, we wish to expand existing parks rather than developing fields
in a sporadic manner.
2.3 The expansion of the Solina Park is being considered especially if through the sale of
part of the open space lands in question, funds could be directed toward purchasing
additional land for expansion of Solina Park and providing additional soccer fields.
2.4 We will be dealing with this matter in the near future as we commence working on

next year's capital budget.

Thank you, James--
My review of the potential for the early redevelopment of the Rice site has focused on a strong
residential component, anchored by and integrated with a destination use that would support and
reinforce a complex for active seniors. The proposed Library project would, I believe, act as an
ideal catalyst if built on this site and assist in the early construction of adjacent development
which would enhance the local tax base, introduce increased numbers to the downtown core, and
beneficially improve the utilization of the new Library facility.
We have reviewed the assumptions and comparative cost projections used in the GPA Report.
Clearly, much more detailed analysis is necessary before definitive conclusions can be reached.
However, we do take issue with one assumption - that because the LCBO land is already owned
by the Municipality and is a "sunk" cost, it is included in site comparisons as having no value.
Ta,;xpayers might r8a~b a much different cgDcll.l~ign. It not only has a value, but its value is quite
likely more than a John Rice land valuation because of its "centre ice" location adjacent to the
City Hall; and that value should be included in Pro Forma comparisons with other privately held
land parcels, in our opinion.
Our Development team has significant experience in designing and developing a wide variety of
projects - some small and some mixed use and very large. We have in the past worked closely
with the public sector to ensure that the public interest was well and truly served. We have had
much "on the grou.nd" construction experience, understand the paramount importance of the
budget and cost control process, and are intimately aware of the financial markets. We therefore,
feel comfortable in putting forward the following proposal concepts which we hope might elicit
a favourable response and encourage dialogue with the Library Board.
PROPOSAL ONE - (LAND LEASE)
The Library Board would enter into a 21 year Land Lease, with renewal extensions, on a
mutually acceptable site within the John Rice holdings, at a negotiated Land Rent, paid
monthly, based on a land value determined by independent appraisers, and reappraised
every 7 years to reflect market conditions and inflation.
The Library Board would retain the services of the Rice development team as Development
Manager to design (in consultation with the Library Board personnel) and develop a 30,000
s.f. (Approximately) building to meet the requirements of the Library Board.
The Library Board would establish the development cost budget in consultation with the
Development Manager.
Page two
Acting through the Development Manager, the Library Board would enter into a Fixed
Price Stipulated Sum construction contract ( with appropriate controls in place to prevent
cost overruns) with a General Contractor selected from a prequalified competitive bid
process.
FINANCING OPTIONS (on leased land)
The Library Board may choose to own and finance the construction of the building itself.
Or
The Library Board may choose to own the building and have the Development Manager
obtain the necessary construction and long term financing from a lender, with appropriate
guarantees and assurances given by the Library BoardlMunicipality to the lender to satisfy
requirements and repayment schedules.
Or
The Library Board may choose to enter into a contract to Purchase the building at
completion at its actual cost to develop, with funds being used to payout the construction
lender.
PROPOSAL TWO
The Rice Company, or a company controlled by John Rice, would be prepared to develop
and own the Library building, built to meet the specific requirements of the Library Board,
and enter into a long term lease with the Library Board, at a net rent that is sufficient to
meet the terms of the financial lenders (construction and long term), and with adjustments
for market conditions and inflation at appropriate, negotiated intervals throughout the
lease term and any extensions,...a.n.d give a reasonable return on the owner's equity in the
project.
SUMMARY
If I may summarize our submission:
John Rice without question has the interest in seeing the Library project built on his land.
The John Rice land can satisfy all the shortcomings of the LCBO site.
The John Rice Development team has the expertise and experience to complete the project.
The John Rice Rice site, with the Library, will foster adjacent residential development.

Subject:
APPEAL TO THE CITY OF OSHAWA ZONING BY-LAW 98-99 FOR
FIRST PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT INC. PROPOSAL
CITY OF OSHAWA - NORTHEAST CORNER OF HARMONY ROAD
AND TAUNTON ROAD
FILE NO.: PLN 2.4.1.5
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Addendum Report PD-123-99 be received;
2. THAT the Mayor and Clerk be authorized by Council to submit a notice of appeal of
Zoning By-law 98-99 as approved by the City of Oshawa Council for the First
Professional Management Inc. development proposal forthwith;
3 . THAT funds for the appeal be taken from the Planning Department's Miscellaneous
Account # 7702-X-299;
4. That staff and the Municipality's solicitor be authorized to take all actions necessary to
protect the Municipality's interest.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 Report PD-123-98, as prepared for the November 1, 1999 General Purpose and
Administration Committee agenda, outlined the Planning Department's concerns

*
ADDENDUM REPORT PD-123-99
PAGE 2
1.2 On October 18, 1999, the City of Oshawa Council approved By-law 98-99 that rezoned
the First Professional Management Inc. property permitting the 578,950 sq. ft. retail
commercial proposal. Staff was not aware of the rezoning approval at the time of the
writing of the original report. To protect the Municipality's interest in this matter, it is
important to appeal the zoning by-law.
1.3 Staff will report back on the potential costs of retaining consultants to mount a defense at
a future date.
2. RECOMMENDATION
2.1 In order that the Municipality's interests are protected, it is recommended that Council

mailing address on the registrar to your right after you spoke.

proposed zoning by-law amendment, official plan amendment or plan of
subdivision and has not made an oral submission at the public meeting or provided a
written submission before the zoning by-law amendment/official plan amendment is
adopted, the Ontario Municipal Board may dismiss all or part of the appeal as filed.

questions regarding the application, please contact the Planning Department for
further information.
8. Staff will prepare a subsequent report on the application for the consideration of
Committee at a later date. We do not know when each of the applications will be
