As a municipality which does not manage social assistance or child care programs, this policy is provided for your information only. The changes in provincial and municipal responsibilities proposed by the government on January 14, 1997,outlined new directions for delivery of social assistance, child care, social housing,' public health, and land ambulances. They create.the opportunity to implement a more integrated and effective system of social and community health services under municipal leadership. As you know, welfare reforms being implemented by the government have produced an unprecedented decline in the number of people collecting welfare in Ontario; The introduction of mandatory work for welfare (Ontario Works), tighter eligibility criteria, and the conrimling crackdown on fraud and abuse are reducing welfare costs significantly. The province will continue to share these savings with municipalities. The first step in implementing a more effective system will be consolidation of ~ management and delivery of Ontario Works and child care at the municipal level. At the beginning of 1997. there were 196 municipalities delivering social assistance and 94 delivering child care. The goal of Consolidation is to reduce this to approximately 50 municipalities and service boards, which will manage the two programs in an integrated fashion. Further opportunities to consolidate, at the municipal level, the management of related services such as public health, social housing and land ambulance operatio~ will be explored with municipalities over the coming months. ..JCont'd -2- Consolidation Approach The government has recently intrOdu~ed,two pieces of legislation which will, if approved, provide the means to proceed with ctmsolid4tion. The first of these, .the proposed Social Assistance Reform Act, would allow full iIh'f>1ementation of the Ontario W orles program. The Bill provides for a single delivery responsibility for all aspects of the program, including transfer of sole support parent cases from the province to the Ontario W orIes Program. '. ". .~. . The proposed Services Impr.ov~nle,~t. ~d which has just been introduced in the Legislature proposes that the Minister of Co~Wiity and Social Services designate geographic areas and delivery agents for child care. It is intended that the delivery agents be the same for Ontario Works and child care, in order to ensure streamlined and consistent delivery of services. Subject to the passage of the proposed Social Assistance Reform Act and the proposed Services Improvement Act, the following policy will be adopted: 1. In Regional Municipalities, and in Counties where there are no Separated municipalities, the Regional Municipality or County will manage all components of Ontario Works and child care. 2. In Counties where there are one or more Separated municipalities, only one of those municipalities will manage Ontario Works' and child care. 3. Counties with a population of less than approximately 50,000 (including the population of any Separated municipalities) will consolidate service management with another County . 4. 17z.ere will be no more than about 10 service boards or municipalities managing Ontario Works and child care in northern Ontario, and these service boards or municipalities will manage services in unincorporated communities as well as within municipal ~ri~. . 5. Municipalities and residents of unincorporated conununities will develop service management arrangements among themselves which are consistent with the above criteria. For your information, tables are attached, showing how the municipalities which manage social assistance and child care are grouped with reference to the first four criteria above. Municipalities which do not manage these programs are not included in the tables. ..lCont'd 'fJ \ \ .. .. .. .. ... III .. .. IIIlIi .. lIIIIili .. IIIlIi .. .. lIIIIili .. ..

Municipalities which are affected will be encouraged to bring plans forward as quickly as possible. - Questions about the policy objectives may be directed to the Social and Community Health Services "Who Does What" Project at the Ministry of Community and Social Services. Please contact Katherine Willson (416) 325-5358 or Karen Meehan at (416) 325-5419. - I would like to take this opportunity to thank the municipal members of the Social and Community Health Services Implementation Team for their advice over the course of the development of this policy. ..

NDA ;~ .i~ Mayor Diane Hamre Mayors Office Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville, Ontario Ll C 3A6 fax: 905-623-5717 RE: Port of Newcastle Marina and Proposed Casino Dear Mayor Diane Hamre and council members, I'm \"Titing to e.xpress my concern and objection to the proposed casino that the Kaitlin Group is applying for on the site of e.'cisting marina, As a tenant of this facility for the past 7 years, and presently on the executive of the Newcastle Yacht Club, I feel that this proposal will do nothing to enhance the port or the surrounding area, It could possibly drive away boats that are currently moored there, creating the same shabby look of neglect that we see at Port Darlington. Clarington has only two harbours, one which I feel has already been destroyed by improper land use, and it would be a shame to destroy this beautiful harbour, The very idea of a casino,hotel down there makes no sense when Clarington already has two hotels, one down by the water, and the other by Hwy# 401, that are trying and barely surviving these hard times. Since the Kaitlin Group has shown us the first of several contradicting proposals for this area. there has been an exodus of boaters leaving Newcastle for other ports and harbours, The number of resident boats has dropped from approximately 145 to less than 100. To offset the subsequent drop in revenue, the management has switched its orientation from catering to resident boaters and their families to catering to transient boaters and providing adult entertainment. This does not sit well with the people who keep their boats here and enjoy the park-like sening with family and guests. Port Darlington already provides services for boaters \\ishing to party all night, but Clarington has few, if any, places where a boater may commune with nature, I belieye a healthy community neNs to provide a balance of activities for its residents and I also believe a casino \\ill destroy that balance, We were informed by you, our mayor, at the Town Hall Meeting of September 12, 1997, that the boating population of the marina is 1 ()()% behind this proposal and is pleased with the changes that haye been made. With all due respect, this is not the case. Six more boaters have stated their int~ntion of moving to Cobourg or Whitby if this proposal is approved. This may not seem like a lot of people but they are the very core of OW' boating "family'" and I worry that more will follow their lead, RE: Port of Newcastle Marina and Proposed Casino page 2 f\1111e J:"Lelll..J.c.;e U~/l0/l~~1 lU:l~:U~ ~~ ~.G .. .. Each boater that leaves the Port of Newcastle represents a major loss of revenue to the marina, I fear that the management is trying to offset this revenue loss by rushing phase two and bringing in the casino, when in fact, if greater effort were made to cater to the e,xisting boating community, this marina could operate as profitably as it had for the past twenty years, .. The few changes that Kaitlin has initiated has done nothing but c1lienate the boaters even more, I believe you witnessed this first hand, one year ago, at the opening of the Kaitlin sales office in front of/he Brig, when several boaters expressed their concern over security and privacy, We all recognize that the development is coming and if properly controlled, will blend in, but we are confused as to Kaitlin's intentions with this land. We were first lead to believe the town approved an adult lifestyle community, but at the ratepayers meeting in August, two proposals were shown for this same tract of land: one showing a school, the other a golf course, \Vhich is it to be? .. .. .. I would hope that our concerns as well as those of area residents will be considered heavily when you make your decision on whether or not to approve phase two of this development. ..

As you are aware, in the May 7, 199tS Ontario Budget, the Minister ofFmance 1M0unced that the sovemment would be putdng forward plans tor a network otpennanent charity gaming clubs to replace the current system ot ad hoc roving Monte Carlo eventI. Approximately 4,900 roving Monte Carlo events 'Were licensed in 1996. This adds up to approximately 15,000 gaming days in OnMO. The proliferation orroving Monte Carlo events was creating a situation where there was a major concern over the government', ability to monitor, control and establish aatist'actolY accountability measuret around this activity. Roving Monte Carlo events are ~anding at . rapid rate evei)' year. As an example. between 1993-1994 the increase was 139'-". Between 1994-1995 the increase was 38%. Between 1995-1996 the increase was 44%. In this connection, the introduction of charity gaming clubs wiU stabilize without further increasing the amount of gaming activity already taking place. The objective of this poDcy is to stabilize fUndin, to Ontario charitable organizations and to ensure they receive their fair share of proceeds fi'om charity gamins initiatives. In addition, the permanent facilities brins about. safer environment and aUow the government to introduce more accountability, better control and increased monitoring around this Conn of gaming activity. . It has been consistently the government', position that the province would not hnposo a charity gaming facility on . munidpaUty that does Dot want one. In thiI respect. it is our hope that you and your council wiD reach a decision on the future of charity i ga"mina clubs after meaningful discussions with lociI charities who are the main beneficiaries of the \ initiative and lOCal tourist and businesllSSOciations. We look forward to working with you once you arrive at . dcc:ision. It is this 8ovenunent's intention to respect decisions made by municipalities. LocaJ councils will bave the final word. ____..______ --_u,____ r DIST..R~UTlON ' , ClfRt': L~.....J____,__.. i Co;:: : ."". : ::1.' , -,'.~-J !'m.___.,~-{ .. -'''''-1 ____ _. _. _=:J , ;'.'.- -I I:"=~~~,-=~-~~t=:j I fJ 1- ;- nlL,- 0 q 7r;::-~-"'! i : 'h Ii'..fact. even where some munieipallties have indicated they would be '"WlUlng hosts" It is our View that they should encourago conununity, Input through diaJosue between the successful proponents, l~ dwitlblo organizations, business and tourist associations and others who have an interest in this initiative. ... Charitable organizations expressed concern to the Bovenunent that they were not receiving their Wr share of proceeds fiom this form of gaming, and u we have mentioned, the Bovemment wanted to ensure more control and more accountabUity into this gaming sector. IlIIi It is against this background that the government has Mnounced that it will establish 44 permanent charity gaming clubs to be strategicaUy located throughout the province. ... The benefit. ofthl. poUcy will be to Increase the charitable organization revenue by up to $180 million net annuaDy. This represenu 18 times more than the $10.$12 million charitable organiutions receive under the aurent roving Monte Carlo system. IlIIi We lU'e lUre you are aware we presently have a system that is not working-that needs major repair. Our gaming initiatives will respect the viCWI oflocalgovemment, stabilize and greatly increase the benefits to Ontario charitable organizations, create I safer environment and bring about more security, more control and greatly increased ~ntabDity Into this charitable gaming sector. Ontario will be better served. .. ... Y'ouo ttuIy, /'#~~' @' -",,! .~~i~ .. . Dnid H. T uohl - MInJ_ Consumer and Comtnercia.llte.lations ~~. .. MuDyn Mudul1$ki Mlnlster CltJZtnJrup.

Yesterday AMO Issued a Member Alert on the status of 8111136 and the Association's comments on the Bill. We have leamed that an amended Bill 136 will be going forward for public hearings. Consequently, many of AMO's comments and recommendations on the legislation are no longer appropriate. The Honourable Elizabeth Witmer, Minister of labour, today announced amendments to Bill 136 which have eliminated all the tools needed by municipalities to deal with common labour relations issues resulting from restructuring. These amendments seriously compromise the ability of municipalities to prepare for the downloading of provincial costs and responsibilities. .. .. .. In her statement to the House, Minister Witmer announced the following amendments to the Bill: the proposed restrictions on the right to strike have been removed from the Bill _ the ability of municipalities to freely negotiate a new first agreement has been undermined by an amendment providing that first contract provisions of the Labour Relations Act would appty the Dispute Resolution Commission (ORC) has been eliminated the Government will reinstate the current legislative provision governing the appointment of arbitrators . police have been exempted from the legislation the labour Relations Transition Act (LRTe) has been eliminated and replaced with the Ontario Labour Relations Board to address the need to expedite arbitration, the Government has accepted the Ontario Federation of Labour's recommended provisions to the Ontario Labour Relations Act to encourage the c'speedy resolution of Issues" the rules regarding determining the bargaining agent following a restructuring have been discarded in favour of allowing "employees' choice of union representationR to be determined by a democratic secret ballot provisions introduced that allow for continued specialized bargaining units for professional staff for OPSEU employees, the right to have the union's name appear on the ballot when the vote on representation rights takes place has been granted.

GOVERNMENT RETREATS ON BILL 136 .. .. Toronto, Ontario, September 18, 1997 - The govemment's decision to retreat in the face of union threats of rotating strikes has seriously compromised the ability of municipalities to prepare for the downloading of provincial costs and responsibilities effective January 1 t 1998, says Association of Ontario Municipalities president Michael Power. - "Our Association had asked the govemment for the opportunity to examine Bill 136 in greater detail. We had asked them to slow down so that we - as well as union leaders - could have a chance .. to look at the legislation and to strengthen it in ways that would be fair and beneficial to all affected parties," Power said. .. .. .. "However. is it obvious that Premier Harris and Labour Minister Elizabeth Witmer have been successfully persuaded by the Ontario Federation of Labour to listen and act on their concerns rather than to the concerns of the elected municipal officials of this province." .. Premier Harris had made a promise to AMO members that he and Minister Witmer would continue .. the dialogue on Bill 136. That promise was made at the Association's annual conference on August 27, - .. "We took the Premier at his word. We continued the dialogue on, BiI1136 in good faith. AMO met with Minister Witmer, spoke with Premier Harris, communIcated our support for the Bill and offered to compromise on many elements of the BlIl," said Power. ,5, ..

J BUTTERFLY, BUTTERFLY The seats for the bus trip to Niagara and the Butterfly Conservatory are nearly sold out. If anyone still wants tickets they should call the Museum immediately. .. CAPITAL BUDGET .. Mark is to meet with Fred Horvath at 1:00 PM September 17th to discuss any concerns that he and the Board have with regards to the Museum's needs in the Capital Budget The meeting will take place at the Museum. The Capital Budget covers items such as the grounds and the Museum buildings. .. .. During a walkabout of the buildings and grounds of the Clarke Museum & Archives the Board of Directors have identified the following areas of concern. .. 1. Electrical System a) The Electrical outlets in the south wall of the entrance hall should be turned to face into the Curator's office to eliminate the need to run the power pack for the phone through two door jambs. b) The unused light socket and switch on the west wall of the curator's office be changed to an electrical outlet to better accommodate the use of ekctronic office equipment. c) The electrical outlets for the remainder of the building should be separated to a larger number of circuits, (Currently two, one for north side, one for south side) to allow for better use of office equipment. Currently the simultaneous operation of the photo copier, computer, and any third device such as the mi- crofilm reader can cause the circuit breaker to trip. This hampers the opera- tion of the Museum when conducting research and other activities. This situation could also be a potential fire hazard. ... .. .. .. 2. Heating System The thermostat for the main building is currently located directly above the lighting reostats and a hot air duct from the furnace. The reostats produce a volume of heat which necessitates the temperature setting for the Museum to be set 200F above normal to bring the building to a normal temperature in the winter. The thermostat should be moved to another location or at least turned to face into the Curator's office as this is one of the coldest areas of the building in the winter months. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. - 3- .. .. 3. Building Exterior The paint on the exterior of the main building is peeling away at a phenome- nal rate on all sides of the building. The Board noted that they saw no evi- dence of a primer coat of paint under the peeling paint. The staff noted that they witnessed the painters painting in the rain the last time the work was done. .. .. 4. Volunteer's Building a) High humidity levels caused by the curing of the concrete floor need to be cor- rected with dehumidifiers as the humidity is causing damage to the artifacts. b) The loading door is allowing water to enter the building during heavy storms. Rain striking the door runs down the door and under the rubber seal into the building. TIlls is evidenced by the water stains evident on the concrete floor. The installation of an awning over the door will help to reduce the problem. The Board are concerned about the effects of the build up of winter snow will have as it melts. The door needs to be sand bagged over the winter and a drainage system should be installed to divert water from the road way which is one foot above the floor level of the building away from the loading door and to the drainage ditch at the north side of the building. .. .. .. .. .. 5. Well Water The well at the Museum was nearly run dry during the drought this summer and as a result the water quality suffered. During this time the Staff experi- enced some illness due to the poor water quality. The Board feels that the water should be tested for its quality on a regular basis. .. 6. Snow Clearing. a) The snow will need to be cleared from Volunteer's Building on a regular ba- sis. The staff of the Museum are not to be expected to clear this volume of snow. b) Snow clearing from the front of the Museum main building should be done to maintain three to four parking spaces for use of the staff and public in the winter months. The staff have neither time nor equipment to complete this task. .. .. .. STORAGE BUILDING NAME .. Further to Donna's request that the board consider a name for the new storage building. Donna had suggested naming the new building "The Founder's Building". .. Mark pointed out that the name suggested by Donna does not reflect the contributions of a large number of people, whether having served as Board Members, Volunteers, or Donors- He reiterated that the Museum would not exist today had it not been for the donations of artifacts, time, and effort of these people. He suggested that the new building be named "The Volunteer's Building" to reflect the contributions of these many people. This name would reflect the ongoing contributions of current and future generations. He also explained part of the difficulty in identifying who wa~. or was not a founder of the Museum. Does one include the initial steering committee or should it be .. .. .. -4- ... the first Board of Directors appointed by Clarke Township Council. There are many on the various Boards that have governed the Museum through its history who have worked and fought for the Museum who should also be recognised. .. .. **97-36** Moved by Fran, Seconded by Donald to name the storage building The Volunteer's Building.

Liberty Metal' Fabricators, 153 Baseline Road East, Bowmanville, Ontario. For the steel pipe that was used as a footing for the new flag pole. ... Mark noted that there have been problems with the alarm system over the past two days which have resulted in two very long nights. Both times the system was detecting an in- truder when there were no signs that anything had been disturbed. The system has been fully inspected and no faults were found. The technician suspected that the infrared sen- sor was detecting an electronic ghost caused by it's own sweep of the~building. The unit has been replaced in hopes that this will correct the problem as there is no way to test the IR unit to see if it is detecting itself.

Mark asked what the current service charges are on the accounts on a monthly basis. Donald did not have an exact figure on these charges available. ... Mark suggested that the Board should first compare the current account service charges against the charges for the PC banking before committing to a course of action that would impact on the new Board to be appointed for January. .. The Board after some general discussion thought it would be acvisable to continue to deal with the bank in person for the time being and begin .colkcting information from other financial institutions regarding their fee structures. This information could then be passed on to the new Board for consideration. .. .. ... .. .. -7- ..

Regulation clarifies municloal user fees Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister AI Leach today issued a regulation to darify the services for whid1 municipalities can charge user fees. ... - The regulation stops municipalities from charging other levels of local govemment for conducting municipal elections or collecting property taxes, It also prohibits municipalities from charging vendors for the cost of recycling or disposing of goods they sell, or developers for allocating water and sewer capacity, ... "Some municipalities have been talking about charging upper tier governments and school boards for the cost of running local elections and collecting property taxes.~ Leach said, ~Thafs inappropriate, There's only one taxpayer, and this type of fee would only pass costs from one level of government to anothar level that serves exactly the same taxpayer. Costs would go up because of the administrative waste and duplication involved in processing the charge-back." ... - Leach said some municipalities are also considering levying charges on vendors or producers of materials that ultimately wind up in the waste or recycling stream. In some municipalities this has taken the form of a charge against the vendors of alcoholic beverages. Others have talked about charging newspaper companies for the ultimate cost of reqcling the used newspapers ... The Municipal Act gives municipalities powers to charge for the use of municipal services, including waste management services, A charge against vendors or manufacture~ Is not a user fee unless the vendor or manufacturer is the one disposing ofthe waste material. The regulation clarifies this, .. The regulation also stops municipalities from charging developers user fees for allocating sewer and water capacity, Such additional fees would unnecessarily add to the cost of doing business in Ontario, ... - 30- For (T',::>re information. please contact: ;?fj"" ...

FCM does not wish to receive resolutions which pit one municipality against another. Members submitting resolutions regarding Community Safety and Crime Prevention matters are advised to focus on the "principle" of the issue being addressed and avoid attempts to re-word the criminal code. A national vocabulary should be used at all times when drafting resolutions. Local references may detract from the national significance of resolutions CONSTRUCTION OF RESOLUTIONS All members are urged to observe the following guidelines when preparing resolutions for submission to FCM: a) FCM will take a stand only on issues which are clearly of national municipal interest and which fall within the jurisdiction of the federal government, the provincial and territorial governments acting at the interprovincial level, or FCM itself. Indirect municipal issues and 10caVregional issues will not be supported by major research and lobbying activity, unless otherwise directed by the Annual Conference or by FCM National Boarc of Directors. b) The descriptive clauses (WHEREAS...) should clearly and briefly set out the reasons for the resolution, If the sponsor believes that the rationale cannot be explained in a few preliminary dauses, the problem should be more fully stated in sup~ documentation. c) The operative clause (SF- IT RESOLVED...) must clearly set out its intent stating a specific proposal for any action which the sponsor wishes FCM to take. (Le. BE IT RESOLVED that FCM urge/endorse/petition...) The wording should be clear and brief. ... .. .. .. .. .. .. ... IIIfIII ... ... ... ... .. ... ... .. ... ... - ..

'- COUNCIL DIRECTION 0-1 To Clarington Council Members From: Dr H, Yassein on behalf of the racing pigeon conllllunity of Clarington Re Racing Pigeon Dispute August (l, 1')<)7 Dear members of the Council: Please allow me the opportunity of both introducing myself as well as commenting vigorously upon the article entitled 'Neighbors squaking about birds' dated Wednesday August (l, 1997, My name is Hossam Yassein and I am a resident of Clarington, I have kept racing pigeons for twenty five years and have coexisted peacefully with my neighbors for that entire period, I have practiced medicine (surgical ophthalmology) here for the past seven years and fcelthatl am a respected and contributing member of this community, Therefore, I not only fecI qualilled to speak on heallh related matters which arc uniquely my primary concern, but also on issues relating to this hobby specifically. I have for seven years been a resident of the beautiful town of Bowmanville.. A town that is a unique combination of both rural and urban heritages, A place where city and country meet for the betterment o[ both, A place where children can see and appreciate nature and the environment while still having access to the best of what big city li[e offers. A place where one's family hobbies, pets, and pursuits are not only tolerated but encouraged and protected! Clarington encourages all o[ its children to participate in 4H. spring and [all [airs, gardening, the keeping of pets and so much more, We hopefully strive to teach our children tolerance, understanding, respect [or private property and the use of that same private property to promote good family values. In short Clarington has tried to successfully integrate rural, urban and industrial life in one town and it has worked well, the keynote being always tolerence and understanding, The only altitude that we should not put up with as (X."Ople, as a town, a region or a coumry is that of unfounded intolcrance. Intolerance may be to race, sex, colour or creed, These we all recognize and appreciate but intolerance can take many a guise and one of these is the unfounded intolerance to a group of people across Canada who are composed of all colours, all crceds, both sexes, all ages, all races. and all socioeconomic backgrounds. TIus group of people is often harassed and ridiculed by intolerant and too often ignorant bigots, Who is this group of Canadians you ask? Well we arc called pigeon fanciers and more specillcally racing pigeon fanciers, My hobby of keeping racing pigeons was important in my teenage years in kecping me out of local malls & plazas, in keeping me out of pool and billiard rooms and in keeping me out o[ gangs (and most hobbies will do this and should be aggressively encouraged by parents, educators_ police and town officials), Yes, pigeons kept me in my backyard out oflrouble and harms way. Keeping pigeons taught me the meaning of punctuality. cleanliness, patiencc, respect, planning and goal selling, Keeping pigeons taughtmc respect [or lifc, all life, The hobby which I loved as a youngster I stilllO\'e and enjoy despite having a busy career in ophthalmic surgery. II truly is a family hobby and a life long hobby. As the world grows faster and faster and we lose conlact with life, it's up to us to ensure that our children do not retreat to cybcr spacc but rather more to be desired is their retreat to the safety of a great hobby in each of our ow"n backyards! A hobby which will faseinate both the 6 year old as well as the octogenarian. A hobby which bridges the generation gap, Yes, pigeon keeping does all of this and much much morel - - - - - - - - - - - Au - B. C. - D. - In - - - - - ;t :, - ' ~."'"

The reasons are as follows: It was discussed at the Waterfront Regeneration Committee Meetings as means for those hardest hid by shoreline erOSIon to acquire lot depth. incase it was needed to pull homes further oack from the water in the event of further erOSIon. It would eliminate a blInd and dangerous S bend on Cedarcrest. It would provide a possible location for the use of fill removed during the bridge construction. It would allow for parking of large construction eqUIPment in a location where there would not be danger of important habitat destruction during bridge cohstruction. dISCUSSIon wlth Mr. Pic Symmes of the Water+ront Regeneration Trust. the two environmentalists present. Rob and Dale. ana ~ representatIve from Dillon present at Thursday's meetIng. no objections or reasons opposing this proposal were of+ered. This would allow those hardest hit by erosion to regaIn some of their- lot dEPth. Some people have suffered a loss as hIgh as 45% of t hei t- lot dept h. Upon comp 1 et i on of new ,lot SLlt"Veys. the town could re-assess the tax allocated and if the new lot size warrants it~ the town could recoup some of the cost through ta}:es.

CJPNJ1't Of CLAR\NGTON ~iIU I\cctN: ~'5UfII~ .. Dear Diane, - I would like to express my concerns re the proposed Kaitlin development adjoining Port of Newcastle. - - It would appear that the proposal for a two hundred and fifty room hotel indicates that the developer intends to establish a casino sometime in the future. I can see little benefit to the community for such a development and I am sure it would be opposed by a large majority of the present residents, - Of even more concern to me is the proposed road configuration for Mill Street. The plan to have an intersection on the hill below the CNR underpass and one-way traffic through the underpass is certainly a plan for disaster. I have made traffic counts on weekends past our home and at times the count is over one hundred vehicles per hour. (Traffic along the lakeshore has increased each year since we built our home in 1988.) Add to this the traffic to the Parkette, Metcalfe Street and also the Marina I'm sure the count would be at least two to three hundred vehicles per hour. With the projected increase in population in Newcastle, plus the proposed KaitIin residential development, the traffic flow will be far beyond the capacity of a one-lane road I strongly feel that any developer must bear the cost of replacing the present underpass. It has been said by some that this is an historic structure that should be preseIVed. In fact this overhead was not built when the railroad was constructed in 1856 but when the second track was added in 1905. No matter how historic this underpass might be it should not be preseIVed to endanger the lives of those of us who must use this road on a daily basis. .. .. - .. .. - - .. 9t/~ .. .. - Thun(ieriib superiorby~ COUNCIL DIRECTION 0-9 - 500 Donald Street East Thunder Bay, Ontario P7E 5V3 Tel: (807) 625-3600 Fax: (807) 623-1164 OFFICE OF THE MA YOR - Mayor Diane Hamre Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville, ON L 1 C 3A6 l\jCC1aT'" "-:) SH 1 b ~~,"l , Of CV",,\~Gl~ "U~G\:~~~ws OffiCE AGENDA - September 12, 1997 - - - Dear Mayor Hamre: Re: Port of Churchill - The Federal Government this year has made a substantial cash contribution to the development of the Port of Churchill, Manitoba. CN has sold rail line to Churchill and Transport Canada has sold the Port of Churchill. Both were sold to an American rail company known as OMNI - Trax. - - These two transactions have been undenvritten by the infusion of $44.05 million Federal tax dollars. - Press releases by the Federal Government indicate that the purpose of the largesse is to sustain and increase tonnages of grain moving through the Port of Churchill. Commentary from OMNI-Trax (operating as Hudson Bay Port Company) indicates that they expect to, at the minimum, double port grain handlings at the expense of other export routes. - Throughout its history, Churchill has existed due to Federal subsidization which is obviously continuing. The Port has never been viable without Federal subsidy and will continue, as a result of this most recent gift, to divert jobs away from the Seaway route and Seaway communities. - - Our community and yours are negatively affected by the loss of Seaway tonnage. - Attached is the resolution of the Thunder Bay City Council, and I am asking that your community object in the strongest terms possible to this Federally-subsidized transfer of employment. The Ontario Liberal Caucus must be advised by every community along the Seaway that Ontario taxpayers object to this unfair action. I urge you to write your area Liberal member(s) of Parliament to halt this objectionable and unfair action on the part of the Federal Government. - - - - '\ Mayor Diane Hamre Page 2 ...

Streamlining the Approval Process and &ising A wareness of Housing Issues - These projects are aimed at "cleaningupn inconsistencies and roadblocks in development permit and appr~vaJ proc~es_ They exptnre how educational programs aimed a.t ail stakeholders can be beneficial in improving communications and removing barriers to innovative housing development. Furthermore. they apply approaches to fast tracking applications for approval based on t~e use of alternative standards and procedures. .. .. Issues typically addressed by this type of project include: seeking further-efficiencies and greater fairness in the pennitand development approval processes; attempting to better coordbate the activities of various departments within a municipality, across municipalities. or among multiple levels of government; addresl);ng the lack of knowledge and understanding about application and approval processes.. and about housing needs and affordability issues. ... .. Actions which can be effective in addressing these issues include: use of steering committees, advisory committees, or task forces to direct the work; pilot testing new strategies and technologies and then making adjustments and revisions as necessary; undertaking training programs for 3taffand stakeholders to inform them about new processes and procedures; improving the working relationship between the building indu~"tr)' and municipal staff. and identifying a champion to encourage and promote the positive aspects of specific changes. .. .. - The impacts of these actions can include: a reduction in the time for obtaining approvals, which lowers carrying costs (these costs may potentially be passed on to the consUmer" in the form of lower housing costs); and, widening rdllge of affordable housing choices by encouraging affordable housing applications and prompting awareness of affordable housing iss~cs. AcrOl8..~,{/ASEPR/AFFOlW ... - - 2. Facilitating New Forms of Housing These projects seek to provide a wider range of housing types beyond traditional single family dwelling:;, duplexes, and apartment buildings. These would include among others, accessory apartments and secondary suites in single family dwelling units, houses which can be converted to two units and back to one again, garden suites, triplexes and fourplcxes, rooming houses, and houses which can provide space for home occupations, Issllcs typically addressed by this type of project include: concern over health and safety of tenants; use of and appropriate payment for community services such as water, , sewerage, garbage collection., etc., new and different housing needs of society give changing demographics and household size. and increased mobility of households; and, neighbourhood instability, Reforms can include: changes to decision-making processes and bylaws~ permissive zoning: performance-based measures; guidebooks and guidelines to assist in the process. The impacts ofthese reforms can include: permitting more housing types as-or-right streamlines the approval process. reducing the time for obtaining approvals, which lowers carrying costs (these costs may potentially be passed onto the consumer in the form of lower housing co~is)~ widening the range of affordable housing c~oices by encouraging affordable housing applications and promoting, awareness of affordable housing issues; increasing the range of housing choices by permitting more housing types without the requirements for zoning variances; improving the quality of housing pennittc:d by having appropriate perfoffilance-based health and sar~ty standards;broad~r soc..;etaJ impac.."ts include increasing the diversity, livability, and stability of neighbourhoods. 3. New Approa.ches to Infill, Intensifica.t{on a.nd Conversio1? Projects in thi~ area involve new approaches to providing housing within existing residential or commercial ncighbourhoods. Infill housing is the building of housing units on vacant lots. These may have been left undeveloped or the lHiginal building on the lot had been demolished at some point. Intensi1lcation is the increase in the density of exi;>-ting housing units, Conversion is the structural change of a building ITom its original use to. another (in this case to residential), which has different requirements prescribed by the building code and the zoning by-laws. In these cases there are opportunities to build innovative1y on smaller lots, to include housing in a packaged development along wjth other uses such a~ retail, commercial, or institutional activities, or to get more housing out of the existing buildings by renovating and changing the layout and design.

Land intensificati,on has become an important development strategy as municipalities seek to contain their outward expansion and revitalize vacant or underutilized properties in existing neighbourhoods or in downtown core areas. ... Issues typically addressed include: the rising cost of raw land for development and for the provision ol'municipal infrastmcture; erosion of the downtown core, physically, aesthetically, and demographically; unstable neighlJourhoods which may be under threat or change and decline; and, changing demographics and household size requiring new housing options. - .. Actions which can be taken to address these issues include: use of steering committees, 'advisory committees. or task forces .to direct the work: involvement of stakeholders and resid~nts in basic design and idea generation; fe-4Sibility snJdics. development of models . and plans: and, review of regulatory issues and making recommendations for changes. ... Reforms can include: changes to decision-making processes and by-laws; adoption of design guidelines; and adoption of new development standards. ... III The impacts of these reforms can include: increasing housing choices in existing neighbourhoods and in the downtown area, and mixing those choices with commercial activity; increasing affordability through an increase in densitie.-; and making use of municipal infrast.rUcture already in place: and improving the qu3lity of housing by having appropriaLt: guidelines and h'tandards for the conversion of buildings to residential use. .. 4. A/tf!rnative Land and Site Development Standards These projects iiwolve changes and modifications to traditional land and site development standards to reduce costs. Included in this broad spectrum are items such as lot size and configuration, placement ofthe buiIdingon the lot. distance separation and setbacks, size of piping and style of trenching for water, sewer. and stonn sewer connections. parking standards, curb and gutter requirements, road widths, sidewalks, and much more. .. .. - Issues addressed by these projects typically include: the rising cost of the provision of municipal .inf~astructure; many variance applications and approval of mOh1 of those applications; and the desire to develop more sustainable and affordable neighbourhoods. III III AcLion:> whi{;h can be taken to address these issues include: use of steering comminees, advisory committees, or task forces to direct the work.; systemaue review of issues; variances, and regulations; use of design charettes. feasibility studies. and development of models and plans; and, extensive consultation with the public and :o1:akeholder groups, - Reforms which can he taken include: changes to bylaws and zoning regulations~ adoption of design guidelines: ongoing monitoring of benefits of new standards. - j A CTO:!8.SA..\,J/ASIPR/AFFORO - - Impacts which these projects can have include: increasmg hou~-ing choices through the encouragement of innovative designs; increasing affordability through adoption of new standards which increase densities, lowers land ,costs, and make:) better use of municipal infrastructure, 5. Cost Effective Renovation Standards These projects examine how alternatives and equivalencies to the National Building Code, which by its very nature incorporates the latest in building technology and performance" 'can allow for the renovation of older buildings in a cost-effective manner. This includes looking at performance rather than prescriptive measures to ensure compliance with minimum standards. Issues which can be addressed include: the National Building Code is difficult to apply to older buildings; the cost of renovation and rehabilitation may result in some buildings being demolished or allowed to deteriorate beyond safe use; some 'older multiple unit . residential buildings are of poor quality and offer little safety for their inhabitants; and, municipal concerns over liability issues related to permitting non-NBC standard renovations to occur. . Actions that can be undet1aken to address these issues are: development of equivalencies to the National Building 'Code; development of tools to assist municipalities deal with compliance, assurance of work, and liabilily is~mcs; consultation with stakeholder groups On renovation issues, Reforms which can be undertaken include: adoption ofminimum health and safety standards for renovated huildings. The impacts of these projects include: increasing housing choice~ through preservation of the existing housing stock; incre-dSing affordabitity through cost-effective alternatives to the National Building Code; and, increasing quality by having minirtlum heath and safety standards.

IIIll \- '- FACT SHEET - SEPTEMBER 1997 .. PINE RIDGE ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT SUBDIVISION PLANS HABITAT ASSOCIATES, GUELPH, ONTARIO - Project Highlights In 1994, the City of Guelph was the recipient of an A-C-T grant to explore alternative planning and engineering development standards to reduce the cost of development. Despite the fact that the Guelph project is managed by a steering committee of experts from both the public and private sectors, the project has been challenging. The Guelph project found that more and ready access to information on what others have achieved as well as applying the results to an actual site would be very useful. - .. - In 1997, Habitat Associates received an A-C-T grant to continue on work undertaken by the City of Guelph and use a specific 10-acre site to experiment on altemative development forms. The project has the following objectives: . increase public's, "home builders', developers' and municipal authorities' understanding of the implications, costs and benefits of alternative land uses; and facilitate a demonstration project that addresses land-consumptive practices and innovative alternatives to conventional development. .. .. .. The project team will undertake the following work: collect examples of design principles and alternative uses that might be appropriate to the site; draft two or three alternatives, including detailed visuals, calculations on cost, lot yield ,road length etc, and produce a list of development standards and by-laws that would need to be amended; finalize two or three alternative designs. prepare presentation materials and hold a public meeting; analyze public input and prepare a final subdivision design for the site; subrnit the development plan for approval; and obtain draft approval & finalize subdivision design. ... .. - .. Cooperation and Partnership The project wiD be undertaken by representatives from Thomasfield Homes (the developerlbuilder), Green Scheels Pidgeon Planning Consultants, the Guelph Round Table of the Environment and Economy, the Guelph Alternative Development Standards Steering Committee, the City of Guelph Planning & Development Division. the City of Guelph Works Department and the applicant, Habitat Associates. The public would also be involved through a public fo!Um. Changes in Regulations and Planning Processes .. - .. The project wiD address parking treatments, tenure alternatives and architectural styles, standards for developers erecting a structure on public property such as shelters for bus stops, mail boxes, utility boxes and the use of "knuckles" to increase lot frontage at street curves. By applying altemative standards to a specific site, the applicant hopes to take the theoretical into the practical, demonstrating why such a development should be accepted. Project Impact Reducing the cost of developing land reduces the cost of housing, as the cost of the lot is a significant portion of the cost of the new house. The site specific model will increase awareness and acceptance of alternative styles of housing development. as well as the afford ability and quality of new neighbourhoods. The project should have broad applicability across the country.

FACT SHEET - SEPTEMBER 1997 SRO HOUSING CONCEPT GREYSTONE PROPERTIES, VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA Project Highlights Many Canadian communities are facing an ever growing problem, namely homlessness, but with the country's heavy debt load, all levels of government are finding it increasingly difficult to address the issue and assist financially in the creation of social housing. In future, governments are going to increasingly look to the private sector for assistance in addressing the problem. The applicant will examine how a private development company can economically design, build and manage on an on-going basis, a single room occupancy (SRO) project providing housing for residents on social assistance who receive $325 per month fOf shelter. The small one room units would be complete with a private bathroom and cooking facilities, suitable for one occupant per unit (similar to a bachelor apartment in design), The objectives of the project is to first complete the feasibRity component, then approach municipalities to develop the SRO's in their communities. The project must overcome several obstacles along the way: the issue of high land values and expectations among property owners; "Nimbism" in some communities; overcoming public perception that the involvement of the private sector in building and managing alternative forms of social housing is opportunistic; obtaining density bonuses and zoning and code relaxations; and finding creative ways of reducing t/:Ie high cost of construction. The project will be conducted in two phases: Phase 1 will involve the initial study comprising the following steps: examining the financial aspects and feasibility of building and operating an SRO; creating a viable financial structure in order to economically build an SRO project; approach several cities within British Columbia to develop a project within their community; conducting market research; finding and securing a suitable' site; establishing secure wor1<ing relationships with community groups: and wor1<ing with the community and City staff to create conceptual plans, zoning and design guidelines. Phase 2 will involve actual construction of a demonstration project involving the following steps: . rezoning property; preparing development permit drawings and obtaining permit approvals: constructing the project and obtaining occupancy permit approvals; and renting and -operating the project. Since Greystone Properties is owned by 26 British Columbia union and management pension funds there is a possibility that the project will involve a builder apprentice program. The project should result In a demonstration SRO project. Cooperation and Partnership Wcx1dng cooperatively wiD be the key to the success of this project. As such, it will be undertaken by a team comprising representatives from .. Greystone Properties, the Province, a real estate marketing firm, private business, and a consulting firm speicializing in housing advocacy. It will also III involve complete consultation with the community, city staff and other interested groups and parties. Changes in Regulations and Planning Processes .. The project may involve changes to many municipal and building code requirements such as density bonusing, parking requirements, minimum size and unit design guidelines, and building setbacks. Project Impact .. The cost of social housing has traditionally been paid for through programs funded by the federal, provincial and territorial govemments, but with the reduction and even elimination of these programs, homelessness will .. increasingly become an issue that every community across the country wiD have to address. This project will help to determine whether the private sector can be a part of II1II the solution for communities and proved a sector of the population with a greater housing choice at an affordable price.

FACT SHEET - SEPTEMBER 1997 LlVEIWORK CONVERSION HOUSING FOR ARTS AND SMALL BUSINESS .. CITY OF KITCHENER AND KITCHENER HOUSING INC., ONTARIO Project Highlights .. The City of Kitchener has many older industrial, commercial and institutional buildings that no longer serve their original purpose and are ideal for rehabilitation and conversion. The proponents (City of Kitchener and its non-profit housing association, Kitchener Housing Inc. (KHI) will undertake a study to examine the requirements of converting an old shirt . factory into rentallivelwork housing. Some of the objectives of the project are as follows: ' .. .. - to develop a prototype liveJwork accommodation: to convert older non-residential buildings into housing: to provide affordable housing for artists and other business entrepreneurs seeking a location central to services where they can combine living, work and retaiVdisplay space: to investigate' building code issues related to combining residential, manufacturing. and retail functions under one roof; and, to provide universal accessibility standards into a conversion project to integrate a physically challenged population into a liveJwork environment. .. .. - .. Focus groups with artists and business entrepreneurs will be held to determine their housing requirements. This includes space needs, parking access, light. air filtration, sound insulation, amenity and common space. Following the focus group sessions, an architect will develop design guidelines, material specifications and site plans and a municipal interdepartmental team will determine the necessary zoning, site plan, and other regulations. A IiveJwork financing model and business plan will then be prepared. .. - Cooperation and Partnership .. Preliminary focus groups have taken place with the arts community to determine their requirements and acceptable rent levels. Participation house, an organization that provides assistance to the physically challenged, has approached KHI to secure long term financing for 15 client households. . - .. The project wiD be undertaken by a team comprised of representatives from KHI, the City's Building Department and Planning Department, Participation House. the Waterloo Regional Arts Council and a project architect. The Arts Council and Small Business Bureau will assist with focus groups to e~;ablish consumer specifications and provide marketing assistance. .. Changes in Regulations and Planning Procedures The project will address the City's zoning by-law to address mixed use, parking delivery/loading, frontage and amenity space issues related to Iivelv/ork housing. It will also examine the building code in relation to combining residential, manufacturing and retail under one roof. Project Impact The project will result in a model which will be used to determine whether financing should be sought to build a rental livelwork housing development. in downtown Kitchener. Uvelwork housing can have significant benefits to community economic development By attracting people to live downtown. it can lead to downtown revitalization and an increase in the municipal tax base. Furthermore, the renovation and adaptation of formally vacant buildings increases the supply of rental housing.

FACT SHEET - SEPTEMBER 1997 APPLICATION OF SHELTERED RETIREMENT HOUSING TO EASTERN ONTARIO J.A. HAY AND ASSOCIATES, CARLETON PLACE, ONTARIO Project Highlights To date, retirement housing for seniors in Canadian rural settings has been characterized by apartment buildings in villages and towns or costly and isolated estate subdivisions. Sheltered Retirement Housing, by contrast, is a growing form of retirement housing for seniors in Europe, consisting of small groups of single.storey homes around a common area or square, almost like a mini-village, set in a rural context. There is support provided by caregivers. The roads and services are owned by the coUective housing community rather than an individual municipality. The problem, however, is that Canadian rural planning documents prohibit frontages on joint ownership roads and discourage communal services which are necessary to allow Sheltered Retirement Housing for seniors to be developed. JA Hay and Associates received an A-C-T grant to develop a model for Sheltered Retirement Housing for seniors in Eastem Ontario, The objective is to provide an affordable housing option for seniors in a rural environment while conserving and enhancing rural character. The project will be developed from concept to a model that any municipality or developer could use, with local modification, to develop a Sheltered Retirement Housing project for seniors in their community, The A-C- T grant will be applied to the following activities: literature search; develop design criteria guidelines; preparation of preliminary report summarizing the research findings and guidelines; formulation of the concept of Sheltered Retirement Housing for seniors that includes producing the generic plans, and rendering them, preparing model planning policies, preparing site plan criteria and preparing performance standards; testing the concept by applying to the Township for an amendment to the Official Plan; and, evaluation and monitoring of the project results. The project would result in model guidelines, site plan criteria, policies and performance standards for Sheltered Housing projects for seniors. Cooperation and Partnership The Township has been consulted. The project team includes representatives from the Township of Bathurst, the local home builders association, a surveying firm and a planning firm. Monthly reports will be provided to Council so it can monitor the project. The public will also be consulted through the approvals process. The project team will also consult with developers, builders lawyers and planners through a seminar. The consultative approach will involve focus. groups, public meetings, monthly reports and a seminar in Perth (a neighbouring municipality) as part of the final project stage. . Changes In Regulations and Planning Processes The project willleacl to the development of model design guidelines. planning policies and performance standards suitable for _%onlng by- laws.

Township of Bathurst will be requested, The project will also require provincial approvals. This Official Plan amendment process, the public .. acceptance, and development proposals stimulated by this project will be documented for use by others considering similar initiatives. Project Impact .. The project will contribute to increased housing choice and quality for seniors by providing a model for a housing environment which is safe, quiet and conducive to resident interaction. Seniors living in Sheltered Retirement Housing can be independent yet have access to caregiver support for meals, .. housing maintenance and transportation to the nearby village (to visit the doctor or shops). Sharing the septic system and well will reduce the construction costs of each of the houses. This model could be used by developers and municipalities to develop Sheltered Retirement Housing .. projects for seniors across the countly. and as such the project has a high degree of transferability.

FACT SHEET - SEPTEMBER 1997 MANUFACTURED HOUSING: UPDATING AND REWRITING LOCAL REGULATIONS REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NORTH OKANAGAN, BRITISH COLUMBIA .. Project Highlights .. Manufactured housing is an underutilized housing option, in part because of negative stereotypes, but also because planning policies and regulations do not adequately encourage it as a housing option, Siting- is often marginalised to undesirable locations, Manufactured housing units are not only mobile homes that are easily transportable as the occupant moves, but also units built in two to three pieces and then assembled on-site. Over the last 20 years the focus of manufactured housing has moved from the former to the latter type. They resemble houses built on site, but are more affordable. .. - .. The Regional District of North Okanagan will encourage manufactured housing as a form of affordable housing by updating and streamlining local govemment regulations surrounding manufactured housing parks, The project has the following objectives: .. produce comprehensive "guidelines" to be incorporated in local planning documents that would ensure optimal siting of manufactured housing parks; create an innovative "Manufactured Housing By-law" the integrates technological advances and new planning ideas in a way that will encourage flexibility and creativity for the developer. .. .. The project will be conducted in five phases: Phase 1: .. Phase 2: .. Phase 3: - Definition-Terminology is clarified and the problem of siting and design of manufactured housing areas is explicitly. stated and objectives delineated. Research-Comprehensive information and data collection, Analysis-Information and data from the first two phases is synthesized into explicit recommendations. Also, guidelines and a new by-law are drafted and overall implications are determined. .. Document-Final report is compiled and circulated to relevant participants for feedback. Phase 4: - Approval-Guidelines and the by-law are submitted to the Board of the Regional District for approval. Cooperation and Partnership Phase 5: .. .. The project team is comprised of representatives of the province of British Columbia's Department of Planning Advice and Approvals. the Manufactured Housing Assodationof British Columbia. McGill University, the Montreal Sustainable Development Association, and the Regional District of Okanagan. The project will be coordinated by a graduate student from the McGill School of Urban Planning. Changes in Regulations or Planning Procedures The project will result in updated local government regulations regarding the design and layout of manufactured housing parks. particularly with Consideration given to technological ~dvances and contemporary planning ideas, It will produce general guidelines thct will provide better siting opportunities for manufactured housing. Project Impact The project will encourage greater flexibility in the design of manufactured housing parks. It will promote the establishment of manufactured housing .as an option of affordable housing. The approvals process for manufactured housing will be streamlined because local plan amendments will be eliminated. The guidelines and by-law are transferable across the country to any municipality or district with some local adaptation necessary.

Demonstrate how buildings can be converted into energy-efficient, sustainable and it is hoped, affordable housing. Mobilize community support to acquire the financial resources to implement the project. The project will undertake the following activities: Conduct background research that includes analysing and classifying the buildings on the block. Consult with all key stakeholders. suc.'1 as residents, property owners and government officials for their input on the Eco-village concept and the background research. . Prepare site plan, waste management and resource conservation plan, and building retrofit plans. Examine how the project could be implemented and managed including a financial plan, an ownership management pian, a community awareness/education plan and regulatory reform recommendations. The project will result in a feasibility study which will deterrriine whether project financing and development should be considered.

FACT SHEET - SEPTEMBER 1997 SECONDARY SUITES--EXPANDING HOUSING CHOICE CITY OF ST. ALBERT, ALBERTA Project Highlights Secondary suites. or apartments in houses, are currently illegal in the four neighbouring communities of SI. Albert, Devon, Gibbons, and Morinville, although it is estimated that approximately 10% of houses already contain suites. Two of the municipalities have considered amendments to allow suites, but councils requested further information. The City of 51. Albert. on behalf of the four municipalities, received an A-G- T grant to investigate legalization of new and existing suites, The project has the following objectives: to research a broad range of issues pertaining to secondary suites, including the number in existence, standards for legalizing suites, planning and development, building and fire safety standards for new suites, fiscal and property tax implications, occupancy issues such as rental or owner occupied and impacts on neighbourhoods; to develop an appropriate policy and regulatory framework that addresses the issues previously identified and supports the responsible legalization of existing suites and provides the opportunity for new secondary suite development to occur. In working to achieve these objectives, the project team will undertake the following activities: prepare a background research report highlighting the results from the research phase such as literature review, regulatory requirements and results from community discussion; examine the Alberta Building Code; prepare a final report with recommendations for each of the municipalities which will include analysis, public education and process mOdification; and, suggest changes to the 'Alberta legislation or mun.icipal regulations conceming construction requirements to facilitate secondary suites. Cooperation and Partnership The project will be coordinated by St Albert. The steering committee will include representation from the four municipalities, the Renovators' Council of the Edmonton Home Builders,Association, the SI. Albert Affordable Housing Society, existing and potential occupants of secondary suites, and the community at large. A consultant will prepare the general research report and present it to the Committee. Sinilarty, an architect will review the building safety aspects and present it to the steering committee for review. The Capital Region Forum, a committee of representatives of all. the municipalities in the Edmonton Region, will review and provide commentary on the reports. There will be an opportunity for the public to be involved through individual community discussion groups in each of the municipalities. ... Changes in Regulations and Planning Procedures .. Since secondary suites are not permitted in any of the four municiparrties, regulations and standards governing their development do not exist The projed will develop specific approaches, including regulations, to address the various concems regarding secondary suites. It will examine the .. requirements of the Alberta Building Code and the use of possible altematives such as other regulations or guideline equivalences that could allow existing suites to be renovated at less cost, while still preserving basic health and safety. ' ... Project Impact Secondary suites are an important source of affordable rental housing. They can allow aging home owners to remain in their homes, postponing .. institutionalization. Furthermore, they can increase access to home ownership by providing rental income to subsidize mortgage payments and provide quality housing for low income eamers, such as single parents, by providing access to amenities like backyards. Legalization of the process ... both ensures that units adhere to safety and building standards resulting in greater protection for the occupants, and that all residents pay their share of municipal services. ..

FACT SHEET - SEPTEMBER 1997 EXPEDITING THE APPROVALS PROCESS TO ENCOURAGE OFFICE-TO-RESIDENTIAL CONVERSIONS IN WINDSOR'S CITY CENTRE CITY OF WINDSOR, ONTARIO .. ... Project Highlights ... The City of Windsor, like many other Canadian cities, is looking at ways to encourage people to live downtown. This, coupled with the unused commercial office space, has made converting commercial buildings to residential buildings an innovative option. The problem, however, is that converting office buildings to residential buildings is time consuming because the regulations in place, that govem such things as parking, were not established for housing. As such, the time it takes to obtain approvals often discourages commercial building owners from converting. ... .. The City of Windsor was awarded an A-C-T grant to improve the approval process for office-to-residential conversion in Windsor's city centre by: the innovative use of existing dormant resources (B-grade commercial office spaces) for residential use; reducing approval time lines, which will improve the process for developers; examining the need for and structure of financial incentives in conjunction with a streamlined approval process. .. The project team will undertake t.,e following: ... Phase 1: Review current processes for approval, review and analyze processes in other municipalities; and, review and analyze incentive packages developed in other cities. .. Phase 2: Develop options to decrease time requirements for obtaining approvals; prepare report on options available to the City of Windsor. and decide on the best options tt! minimize time and encourage participation by property owners. .. Phase 3: Merge time saving optiQns into existing approval procedure and develop a new procedure to follow for projects of this type; and develOp an implementation plan and present Ule findings to City Council. Phase 4: Prepare and produce supporting documentation. The project will result in the presentation of zoning amendments, incentive options, Official Plan amendments and a new approval procedure for office-ta-residential conversion for consideration by City Council. ... ... Consultation and Cooperation ... The City ofWndsor's City Centre Revitalization Task Force has identified office-ta-residential conversion as a priority revitalization measure, and requested Council to develop policies and procedures to facilitate conversions within the city centre. ... ... The A-C-T project team indudes representatives from the Mayor's Office, the Planning Department, the City Centre Revitalization Task Force, the City Centre Business Association and a member from the development community. A researcher win be hired to do the work in house. reporting to the City Centre Revitalization Manager and the Planning Department (for guidance). The project wiD involve ongoing consultation with both the project team and the City Centre Revitalization Task Force. - Changes in Regulations and Planning Processes The project will propose, for Council consideration, a streamlined approval procedure for office.to-residential conversion which may involve zoning amendments and a development permit being issued at the same time or possibly zoning by-law amendments thereby eliminating the need fOf site- specific amendments, Project Impact The project wiD help to inaease the number of affordable accessible residential units and reduce the time necessary for approvals for converting office buildings to residential buildings. This will lead to more housing downtown, revitalize the downtown and inaease the municipal tax base. It wiD also inaease the opportunity for new jobs and commercial ventures in WIndsor's city centre because the number of people living downtown will be increased. The project results are highly transferable to other municipalities across the country, wishing to encourage office-to-residential conversion. For more information on this project contact: .

Over the past 35 years, however, the population has decreased by almost 50%. This reduction has occurred because of the closure of industries and the demolition of houses for a proposed highway as well as the trend to smaller families, The population also is much poorer. As a result, the population can no longer support two commercial streets, Sainte Catherine and Ontario, A high percentage of the commercial buildings and 10% of the residential buildings are vacant. The area has a very bad reputation and is targeted as a top priority area for revitalization by the City. In 1992, the City took away commercial usage permits from the buildings along a part of t1ie south side of Sainte Catherine Street (if they were vacant for more than one year they lost the acquired commercial usage right and become residential) thinking it would encourage their use as residential properties, but it only made the situation worse. The buildings are in such a bad state of repair that people do not want to live"there or invest money in renovating them so they continue to remain vacant. The applicant, a group of community organizations, received the A-C- T grant to identify measures that could be employed to regenerate a part of Saint Catherine street in the neighbourhood known as Hochelaga. Maisonneuve. The project has the following objectives: ensure that the existing bylaws reflect the needs of the community-the zoning bylaws will- be examined to determine how they" can most effectively ensure revitalization; , improve the image of the neighbourhood by eliminating" some of the aspects that are reducing investment and causing the population to move out; and, sensitize the current owners on the need to find solutions to improve their own community. Specifically the project will undertake the following: update the ground survey, mapping and analyzing the date, map it and analyze it; consult with the provincial housing authorities and the local businessmens' association; develop a revitalization concept and prepare a draft plan; examine the implications vis-a-vis the bylaws: consult with community organizations; and prepare the zoning bylaw and assist with public meetings held by the City of Montreal. The project will result in a revitalization plan to stop the downward spiral of the area. Cooperation and Partnership The A-C-T project team includes representatives from the City (Housing, Urban Planning and Commercial Planning Departments), the local association of business owners and the applicant (a community organization). It will invite the financial Institutions concemed to participate in the meetings;-..:t1le project will seek the lilt views of the community groups as well as the target investors. The consultative process will involve round tables, public meetings and focus groups, This initiative is part of an extensive district revitalization project: for which the City and the Societe d'habitation du Quebec (the provincial housing agency) are involved, ... Changes in Planning Regulations and Processes .. The project will examine any obstacles inherent in the zoning by.law, It will also examine .other factors affecting the decline of the area and propose the necessary actions to revitalize it. .. Project Impact. The project will produce a revitalization plan to regenerate the main street, primarily by encouraging the local commercial shops to attract local "and regional clients. The value of the housing stock should increase and this could attract investors to the area, It will also look at ways to encourage the local community to take charge of redevelopment. The methodology and results will be of interest to any large city. .. .. For more information contact: ...

FACT SHEET - SEPTEMBER 1997 THE MONTGOMERY VILLAGE: A NEW URBAN HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AXFORD ASSOCIATES, GUELPH, ONTARIO Project Highlights .. .. Montgomery Village is an alternative community development, created by River Oaks Group on a 100 hectare site in the Town of Orangeville located about 80 km north of Toronto. Montgomery Village is unique for several reasons: it is an alternative community form which includes innovative housing types; it is a greenfield site located on former farmland and as such contains significant natural areas such as woodlots, a stream and hedgerows which will be preserved in the development; and it is a mixed use community that will have a high level of self-sufficiency, eventually containing a commercial retail section, employment and a high school. .. ... .. The development of the project was guided by a team that identified ten design themes: preserving the natural landscape; minimizing developed land; creating streets for people first, then cars; revising municipal infrastructure standards; natural storm water management; accessible neighbourhood parks; information technologies; social diversity, flexible housing; and supporting alternatives to the car. - Phase 1 of the development is complete, containing 86 buildings-56 are single family detached and 30 are townhouses. Phases 2 and 3 are currently in various stages of completion. In all, 10 phases are planned and will take approximately 10 years to complete. ... Through A-C-T, the project will include two components: .. Axford Associates will measure the success of Phase I of Montgomery Village by examining each of the design themes to show the negotiations which took place between the developer and the Town of Orangeville and the outcome of those negotiations from the viewpoint of the Town, the developer/urban designer and the home owners. Special focus will be given to the revision of municipal infrastructure standards. Providing information to document the Montgomery Village as a case study so that other municipalities and developers may benefit from the results. Cooperation and Partnership The project was developed and built by River Oaks Group, who received approval of its plans from the Planning and Engineering Departments of the Town of Orangeville. ... - .. .. - In measuring the success of the project, Axford Associates will interview all the key players involved In creating MontgomerY Village including the Mayor, Chief Administrative Officer, Town Planner and Engineer from the Town of Orangeville, and the President, General Manager and Urban Designer from River Oaks Group. .It will also conduct post-occupancy surveys with residents. - Changes in Regulations and Planning Processes The project required the introduction of public laneways, reduced building setbacks, on street parking, reduced pavement width and pedestrian scale lighting. The Official Plan Policies and Zoning By- laws were amended to incorporate compact development and an integrated mix of land uses to improve IiveJwork relationships, create a strong sense of community and minimize environmental impacts_ Project Impact The project will result in a review of Phase 1 of the development and a case study highlighting the development of Phase 1 of Montgomery Village. It will be a useful source of information on altemative community development for municipalities and developers across Canada.

FACT SHEET - SEPTEMBER 1997 CODE CHANGES FOR FIVE STOREY WOOD FRAME BUILDINGS COTTAGE GROVE DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED, VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA Project Highlights , Currently five-storey wood frame construction is not permitted in any of the provinces of Canada, although it is permitted in some cities in the United States such as Seattle (Washington) and Portland (Oregon) contingent on certain fire department requirements being met. The proponent, from BC, believes that it may be feasible to 'allow the same type of building in BC, since similar conditions affecting code requirements for safety may apply, Also, within BC, wood frame is still the most affordable type of housing construction available. Cottage Grove DeveJopments limited received a grant to undertake a study to explore ways to increase the affordability of multi-level wood frame housing by reviewing the methods whereby five-storey wood frame construction could be employed in the construction of mufti-family housing in British Columbia through the use of appropriate engineering and design initiatives. The project will be undertaken in the following stages: conduct background survey and analysis that includes undertaking preliminary architectural, structural and mechanical reviews and meeting with representatives of the British Columbia Building Code, Ministry of Municipal Affairs; undertake site visits to Seattle and possibly Portland to meet with building officials, visit projects both under construction and recently completed, and review its structural concept drawings; , prepare three studies that reflect the Canadian and American context-preliminary architectural drawings, a mechanical review report that focuses on sprinkler requirements and a structural review report that focuses on seismic safety requirements; conduct meetings with local municipal authorities and provincial authorities; review and document potential savings of building five- storey wood frame rather than four-storey wood ,frame; prepare a final report; and, request changes to the Building Code to allow five-storey wood frame construction. A report summarizing the results of the study will be prepared for use by building officials. Cooperation and Partnership The project received endorsement from the British Columbia Building Code branch. The project team includes representatives from the Planning Department of the City of Victoria, the Provincial Ministry respollSlble for the Building Code, a mechanical engineering firm, an architect. a structural specialist and a builder. The project team will examine the American model and consult with other American building officials. - .. Changes in Regulations and Planning Processes The project will examine the Building Code to determine if it should be amended to allow construction of five-storey wood frame houses and propose changes accordingly. .. Project Impact .. Since wood frame construction is still the most affordable construction material in BC, increasing the permitted number of stories from four to five should make multi-family housing projects less expensive to build, At present. builders who want to build a five storey building must use another construction material that is more expensive than wood such as brick or concrete. In addition, some expenses such as the cost of the elevator, fire sprinklers and municipal services could be divided between more units; thereby reducing the cost of construction per unit .. ..

Project Highlights .. Ontario condominium legislation is not suitable for mixed use and small residential projects. It can cost up to $30,000 for legal and registration fees for a 20-unit building and several months for the registration process to be complete. The Condominium Act was established in the 1960's for large developments where there are many shared amenities such as swimming pools and saunas to ensure collective ownership and maintenance. Freehold strata title would allow the three dimensional division"of property (upwards and side to side) without the cumbrance of condominium severance. The applicant believes that the municipality, through its Official Plan and Committee of Adjustment can. with the attachment of conditions, such as how to deal with collective ownership, register these smaller projects sooner and with less legal expense than through the condominium registration process. - - ... - The Centretown Affordable Housing Development Corporation (CAHDC) received an A-C-T grant to determine the legal, financial, surveying, marketing, and title registration process for freehold strata title and demonstrate its advantages over condominium title. CAHDC will identify the above through the use of case study(s) and by developing an infill residential development project in which ownership is registered through the freehold strata title process. The final project report will identify the benefits of freehold strata title registration. ... - Cooperation and Partnership - The project is strongly supported by the City of Ottawa, which is also in the process of providing its Convnittee of Adjustment the required directives to approve freehold strata title projects. - The project team comprises representatives from CAHDC, a surveyir:'lg firm (Annis O'Sullivan Vollbeckk), a real estate law firm (Soloway Wright), and the City of Ottawa's Development Branch and Planning Department, and the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton. CAHOC will facilitate the committee's work and prepare the final report - Changes in Regulations and Planning Processes - The project will develop mechanisms to achieve compliance with the Planning Act of Ontario and for integrating the various interests of the property such that everyone would have equal rights and obligations of ownership. It also will deal with the municipal land severance process and the ability oUreehold strata title to streamline development approvals. - .. Project Impact The project will result in a demonstration project and final report that identifies the benefits of freehold strata title, including possible savings, and a marketing approach. Recommendations will be sent to the Province concerning short term and long term Planning Act changes for freehold strata title. Compatibility of freehold str~ta title with affordable tenure options also will be determined. By eliminating the need to be registered as a condominium, the title registration system could be expedited anj:j this could facilitate housing afford ability. Freehold strata title is an excellent way to deal with mixed use development (for ownership residential and commercial) and infill development. It is therefore highly transferable within Ontario and other provinces having similar legislation.

FACT SHEET - SEPTEMBER 1997 FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR A RESIDENTIAL RENOVATION ASSISTANCE SERVICE SOCIETE D'HISTOIRE DU LAC SAINT -JEAN, ALMA, QUEBEC ... Project Highlights In Quebec, municipalities are responsible for ensuring that all residential renovations adhere to the heritage protection policies of the province, However, the policy .does not illustrate what design features must be preserved therefore, municipal staff must explain the key policies to the renovators, The lack of an illustrated design guide combined with the lack of a retail data bank results in delays in the approval of renovations applications. This historical society proposes to evaluate the feasibility of developing a data bank that would be used by retailers (that sell the materials used for renovations) and City staff. The objectives of the project are to: reduce the delays in issuing renovation permits; provide planning staff with positive mar1<eting tools that will allow them to wor1< with concemed owners to retain the value of property as well as to ensure that the heritage quality is retained; and make information concerning the provincial design requirements and the renovation process accessible to the public, sub-contractors and retailers. The project will analyze the current approvals process for renovation. Different types of residential buildings will be examined and categorized, A prototype file for one of the categories will be developed, while summaries of the other residential categories will be prepared. The information will then be integrated into a computerized data bank for use by retailers and City inspectors. Definitions and procedural requirements for both the City and the retailers will be established. Diagrams demonstrating the various residential design possibilities will also be prepared. The prototype guide (for one of the residential categories) will be evaluated and a final report prepared that includes an evaluation of the costs of implementing a data bank for all the residential categories. The proiect will result in a pilot data bank, sample renovation designs and a final report which evaluates the ,feasibility of expanding the data bank to include all the residential categories. Cooperation and Partnership The project has been discussed with the City. The project team will include representatives from the City, the historical society. a non-profit research organization, a home builder and a retail representative. The project will also consult with potential renovators. Each of the team members have specific responsibilities and the results are presented to the team for comment and approval. Changes in Regulations and Planning Processes The project will benefit both municipal officials and renovators, Municipal officials will have a set of tools that will assist in explaining and enforcing the provincial heritage policies, while renovators will benefit from the retail data bank and the illustrated design features. lIIIIIl ... Project Impact .. The project will streamline the process of issuing renovation permits. It will clarify the choices available to citizens allowing them to make informed decisions on how best to renovate their houses and where to find the products necessary, It may encourage residential .. renovation, thereby improving the quality of the buildings and the community.

FACT SHEET - SEPTEMBER 1997 NODAL LIVING: PLANNING FOR INTEGRATED MIXED USES CITY OF KITCHENER, ONTARIO .. Project Highlights ... The City of Kitchener has identified areas within its city where it wants to encourage. self-contained mixed-use neighbourhoods. These neighbourhoods (or nodes). developed around major intersections. will contain residential employment. social services, public transit and commercial uses (such as grocery stores) to support the day-to-day needs of the residents. Some municipalities in Canada do provide for integrated mixed uses, but it tends to have been something developed over time rather than purposefully planned for. and as such it is still a fairly new concept. .. .. ... The City was awarded an A-C- T grant to ensure that implementation of its policy for nodes (currently provided for in its Official Plan) is guided by clear guidelines and standards, The project has the following objectives: ... - to achieve a balance of residential and commercial uses together with a range of employment opportunities and supportive social services; to develop site design guidelines that will provide for attractive streetscapes; to ensure the proper functioning of local and arterial traffic; and to make efficient use of public services including infrastructure and transit. ... ... The project. initially, will involve background research on both the three nodes within Kitchener and mixed use areas within other municipalities in Canada. A technical team, comprising a wide range of municipal representatives. will review the physical issues and constraints for each of the three nodes- as it could affect land use and design. Focus groups will be . held with landowners to detennine their interest. A complete planning document will be prepared, containing a draft amendment to the Official Plan, land use plans for each of the three nodes, an implementation plan and a detailed land use design plan (that will include design standards, pedestrian activity and site analysis) for at least one of the nodal areas, The planning document will then be submitted for review by the public and for approval to the municipal and regional municipal governments. ... - ... .. Cooperation and Consultation ... The project team includes representatives of the City, Kitchener Houq (the City's non-profit housing agency),the Kitchener-Waterloo Home Builders Liaison Ccmmittee, and \foJhitney Real Estate Ltd. - The consultation process will include public meetings, and/or open houses, consultation with landowners, questionnaires, and field trips. Regulations and Approval Procedures The project will require a modification of the Official ,Plan and wiD prepare supporting policies and guidelines related to community form and urban design. Project Impac~ Nodal living supports a more diverse population base which includes empty nesters and low income families. By so doing, it .~. will allow more difficult use of public services including infrastructure and transit, and sustain a variety of social services and businesses.

Many ofus enjoy walking, bicycling or jogging along this stretch of road. In my opinion, Hancock road is not arterial; the increased residential presence warrants a reduction in speed limit for traffic.

Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville, Ontario .. LIC 3A6 Dear Mayor Hamre: .. RE: Proposed Westside Creek Marsh Plan Including Closure of Waverly Road and Purchase of Cove Road ... .. Although information on the various aspects of the proposed agreement between the Municipality ofClarington and Blue Circle is limited, the Directors of the Port Darlington Community Association (PDCA) wish to take this opportunity to raise a number of issues. .. Until recently, the Waterfront Regeneration Trust acted as mediator to resolve concerns regarding diversion of Wests ide Creek and quarrying of Wests ide Marsh, When concluding their work, the Trust submitted a report to the Municipality ofClarington 'outlining a plan which included: .. diversion of the Creek as approved by MiniSH)' of Natural Resources (M1\TR), .. quanying ofa portion of the Marsh as approved by Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), - rehabilitation of remaining portions of the Marsh as required by Department of Fisheries and Oceans, ,.. transfer of ownership of Waverly Road from the Municipality to Blue Circle, .. transfer of ownership of Westside Marsh, lands to the east of the Marsh abutting West Beach Road and surrounding green space from Blue Circle to the Municipality or its designate, and - relocation of the rock crusher from its current position to a site other than land between Westside Marsh and West Beach Road. - - .. . Following submission of the Trust's report, it was our understanding that Mr. Bill Stockwell acted as the Municipality's representative on this matter. However, in recent months residents have been contacted by other departments regarding aspects of the plan, For example, Public Works has co-ordinated an open house information session on the proposed construction of Cove Road. J j ... For purposes of clarification andfuture communication between the PDCA and the Municipality, which person or department is respollSible for co-ordinating the overall project? .. Outstanding questions related to the project include the following. .. l. It has been proposed that Blue Circle's internal haul road be utilized as the access road for Cedarcrest Beach residents to allow Waverly RO(ld to be officially declared "surplus", so that it may be closed and ownership transferred to Blue Circle, .. Use of this haul road by residents in conjunction with Blue Circle vehicles raises a number of concerns. Safety for residential traffic may be compromised as the potential for accidents, and windscreen and paint chipping will increase due to combined use of the road by residential and commercial vehicles_ III 'IIIIIi In addition, the length of time the haul road will be required is uncertain since it will be needed until the bridge is constructed across the mouth of Westside Marsh and Cove Road is reconstructed. While these are proposed to be completed by fall of 1998, the required land transfer and approvals are not yet in place and therefore the projected schedule remains unpredictable_ III .. What assurances can be provided to Cedar Crest residents regarding safety andthe length of time the haul road will be used? III 2. The Trust's report recommended that land beionging to Blue Circle to the east of Westside Marsh fronting onto West Beach Road be included in the lands which will be turned over to the Municipality for redesignation as green spac~. Has an altemate location been identifiedfor Blue Circle's rock cmshing operations and is this property included,in the proposed land exchange? .. .. ., J. Monitoring of the diverted Creek and reconstructed Marsh will be required by DFO. It is our understanding that this monitoring will be undertaken by committee, although committee membership and when the committee will begin to operate remains unclear. Operation of the committee is especially critical since Premier Harris has recently announced that the Ministry of Natural Resources will no longer enforce the Fisheries Act on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. .. .. Since an undertaking of the magnitude of the reconstruction of Wests ide Marsh is unparalleled, the evolution of the Creek and the Marsh is difficult to predict. As such, the .. .. 2 .. .. .. .. II1II' .. - ... .. ... .. .. - - .. .. - .. .. .. .. committee is critical in monitoring changes to the Creek and Marsh and in assessing each step in the process. The PDCA, as an active participant in the process for many years, requests representation on the monitoring committee. Will the Municipality support representation from the P DCA on the monitoring committee? 4. As indicated by presentations at the recent open house meeting, reconstruction of Cove Road and construction of the bridge will result in the removal of a number of trees along Cove Road and the Marsh. Will additional trees be planted to replace trees which are removed? 5_ Many residents are unclear about exactly which trees will be affected and how grading changes will affect individual property frontages and driveways. Would the Municipality arrange for representatives from Totten Sims Hubic/d Associates as well as the arborist who prepared the Tree Inventory for Cedar Creek Beach Road and Cove Road to participate in a site visit so that residents can understand the implications for their specific properties? 6. Members of the PDCA Board are polling area residents to detennine their interest in receiving municipal services. Should more thall 50% of residents request these services, will the Municipality of Clarington support delIvery of municipal water to the shore front residential area?

It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report CD-27-97 be received; 2, THAT the racing pigeon clubs in the municipality be requested to work closely with their members in order to alleviate any concerns which arise from their neighbours; and 3, THAT Jeff Hurst, Peter Portlock, Jim Wilson, Rick Townend, Kevin Williamson, Mark Ainsbury, the Bowmanville Invitational Racing Pigeon Club, the Pine Ridge Racing Pigeon Club and the Oshawa General Racing Pigeon Club be advised of Council's decision. BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: At the Council meeting of May 26, 1997, the Clerk was directed to prepare a report addressing the keeping of pigeons in the urban areas of the Municipality. This direction was prompted by a concern which has been raised over a pigeon keeper moving into a subdivision in the Courtice area. In 1991, Report PD-83-91 which recommended the passage of a by-law to regulate the keeping of animals was presented to Council. The by-law recommended by staff allowed for the keeping of pigeons only on farms as defined in the zoning by-law. Upon Council's consideration of the report, an amendment was made to the by-law and now the keeping of pigeons is allowed anywhere within the municipality. flf.C"CL(O~~""IER PAPER '<:!::1I11ECfCllt n..s IS PfW./T[O ON RCCV(;lfOPApfA .. Report CD-27-97 - 2 - September 29, 1997 - .. During the process of addressing the complaint, by-laws from other municipalities were studied. The findings are as follows: .. Ajax Allows any number of pigeons in either urban or rural areas for racing and/or show purposes with restrictions placed on the manner in which they are kept (ie, maintenance of loft, coop or pen) .. Pickering Allows up to 70 pigeons to be kept for racing and/or show in any area of the municipality .. Oshawa Allows any number of pigeons anywhere in the municipality .. Scarborough Restricts the number to four pigeons, unless the owner is a member of a pigeon club, then there is no restriction. Pigeons cannot be kept less than 15 metres from houses other than the owners and are permitted to fly no more than two flights daily and only between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. .. .. Peterborough Allows up to 80 pigeons on any land other than those zoned industrial or commercial and details the manner in which the lofts must be maintained IIIIIIIi ... Port Hope Allows 50 pigeons anywhere in the municipality if owned by a member of a bona fide racing club and details maintenance of lofts .. There are presently three racing pigeon clubs in the vicinity of Clarington, these being the Oshawa General Racing Pigeon Club, the Bowmanville Invitational Racing Pigeon Club and the Pine Ridge Racing Pigeon Club. Among these three clubs, 27 members are residents of Clarington. These members reside in all areas of the municipality, with many being in the urban areas. The complaints received recently from neighbours of a pigeon owner are the first such complaints the municipality has received and they are based on the pigeons landing on neighbours' properties and the presence of bird droppings in the area. ... .. - Several years ago, a member of one of the pigeon clubs moved into a new subdivision in . Courtice which prompted several calls to the By-law Enforcement Division to question the legality of keeping of pigeons in the area and what the neighbours should do if this became a problem. These people were advised that the pigeons could be'kept in the area and to call again if a problem arose. No further calls were ever received. .. .. .. ... - - .. - - .. .. ... .. .. ... - .. - - - - - ... Report CD-27-97 - 3 - September 29, 1997 The individual who has recently brought pigeons into Courtice has, in fact, owned birds for at least 15 years and prior to moving to his new home, resided in the urban area of Bowmanville, When discussing the concerns with both the Bowmanville Invitational Racing Pigeon Club and the Oshawa General Racing Pigeon Club (of which the individual concerned is a member), staff was advised that the problem is a temporary one which will only occur while the pigeons are being "broken" (getting use to their new home). In researching the matter of keeping these birds in urban areas, a resident of Bowmanville who lives next door to a member of a pigeon club was contacted. Staff was advised that the pigeons have never been a problem at all. This individual resided in the area prior to the owner of the pigeons. The pigeon clubs have shown a great deal of concern over this matter. They have. indicated that they have by-laws to govern the actions of their members and are anxious to work toward a resolve of the problems which have been encountered lately. The fact that complaints have not been received in the past, although there are many members of the pigeon clubs residing in Clarington, indicates that this problem is an isolated one. With the assurance of the pigeon clubs that they will work closely with the owner of these birds, staff is confident the problem will resolve itself quickly. Accordingly, at this time, it is recommended that the by-law regulating the keeping of animals not be amended to restrict the keeping of pigeons. Should the concerns continue, a further report will be presented to Council. Respectfully submitted Reviewed by ~ W.H.

Mr. Robert Boychyn on behalf of the property owners has requested that the contribution of $16,000 be returned. No interest has been requested. The Treasury Department has no record of receipt of this contribution. Although there is a record of $16,000 received prior to 1984 in the Subdivider's Account under the name of "Bruno Aldrano", neither the Treasury Department nor the Public Works Department has any record of dealings with this person. Mr. Boychyn has produced a copy of a cancelled cheque in the amount of $16,000 dated September 22, 1978 payable to the Town of Newcastle (Attachment No.1). He will recommend to his clients that the payment be confirmed by the execution and deli very to the Municipality of a Statutory Declaration in the form attached (Attachment No.2) . The Public Works Department does not wish to see this section of Salina Road improved and has no objection to the release of the contribution if it was paid. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the evidence provided by Mr. Boychyn would likely be accepted by a court of competent jurisdiction as establishing that the payment was made to the Municipality. Alternatively, the parties could demand that the Municipality complete its obligations to improve Solina Road. It is our understanding that this has been made more costly by Transport Canada's requirement that signals be installed prior to the removal of barricades across the level crossing (Attachment No.2) . CONCLUSION It is recommended that, conditional on the sworn Statutory Declaration of Louis Aldrovandi with the content of Attachment .. REPORT NO. WD-61-97 PAGE 4 .. No. 2 being delivered to the Treasurer, Council approve the payment of $16,000 to the parties subject to the Municipality and the parties entering into an agreement substantially in the form of Attachment No. 3 providing: ... .. a) Releasing each other from any further obligations under the September 29th, 1978 agreement. .. ... b) For the indemnification of the Municipality should it be established that the representations of the parties are inaccurate that (i) the money had been paid to the Municipality, (ii) the money had not been previously paid back to the parties or (iii) the parties are the proper recipients of the return of the money. ... .. .. 3.2 It is recommended that a by-law be passed to authorize the Mayor and Clerk to enter into the agreement on behalf of the Municipality.

As the cost estimates were indicating an expenditure which exceeded the approved 1.2 1.3 budget, Council provided direction to separate the site works component of the project from the structure, and to consult with the Treasurer and Public Works Department to provide a scenario of potential funding for the site works. .. ../2 "".""~"H"" ":"f"~IHC'CLI ~ 2.0 2.1 2.2 ... REPORT CS-IO-97 - 2 - SEPTEMBER 22, 1997 -------------------------------------------------------------------------... .. 1.4 Subsequently, Treasury, Public Works, Community Services and the Administrator met to discuss potential funding of the site works and it is recommended to access the Impact/Escrow Reserve Fund Account #5001-50-X for this portion of the project. PROJECf FUNDING The financing of the twin pad of the Rickard Recreation Complex was approved at $3.5 million through Report TR-62-97. The additional requirement of approximately $575,000. to complete the site works necessary to ensure safety and efficient use of the site was identified as part of the recent design process. As such it would have been included in the original development charge project cost and therefore financed from development charges. Report TR-62-97 identified the current deficiency in the development charges and recommended interim measures for financing with ultimate repayment from the future revised development charges. The shortfall in the development Charge Reserve Fund results from a number of circumstances, for instance the Provincial grant reductions have made it impossible to transfer the planned tax levy amount to accommodate the municipal portion of the capital projects, the reduced development units compared to the projected amount in the development charge calculations have lessened the overall accumulation of contributions to the funds, and the fact that some projects such as the arena have costs which exceed that anticipated when the policy was developed. In addition, because the charges are collected over a period of ten years when the facilities may need to be built in the first few years means that the funding does not match the timing of the expenditures. ..../3 .. ..

It is respectfully recommended to Council the following: 1, THAT Report ADMIN-42-97 be received; 2, THAT the applications to stop up, close and convey a portion of the road allowance known as Waverly Road to Blue Circle Canada Inc, and the proposed dedication of a portion of the Blue Circle haul road and its extensions as a temporary public highway be referred back to staff for consideration of the delegations and preparation of a report for the General Purpose and Administration Committee on October 6, 1997; 3, THAT the interested parties listed in this report and the delegations be advised of Council's decision. - .. .. ... - 1.0 BACKGROUND 1,1 Waterfront Regeneration Trust Process 1,1,1 In December 1993, the Waterfront Regeneration Trust, at the request of the Municipality and Blue Circle Canada Inc. ("Blue Circle" formerly know as S1. Marys Cement Corporation), agreed to help resolve the numerous issues related to Blue Circle operation on the Lake Ontario Waterfront, including their plans to quarry the Westside Marsh, 1,1,2 In December 1994, three public discussion sessions were held in Clarington to increase public understanding of Blue Circle plans and explore any practical .. ... - .. .~ .. .. alternatives that provided for both the long term viability of the Blue Circle operations and the preservation of the greatest portion of the wetland possible. .. 1.1.3 On April 5, 1995 the Trust held a fourth public discussion session to outline its proposal on a concept to resolve the primary issues and receive public comments, This was documented in an Interim Report dated June 1995. .. .. 1 .1.4 The Trust invited a number of interested parties, including local residents, naturalists, the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) and the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), to participate in two work groups to consider habitat issues and other community concerns related to Blue Circle's plans. These work groups met regularly through the summer and fall of 1995 to explore issues and review information, and to assist the Trust in the development of options for resolving the various issues. 1 ,1.5 In November 1995, the Trust released a report entitled Westside Marsh - Report and Recommendations in which they presented a concept for the preservation of the Westside Marsh. The major recommendations provided in the Report are as follows: . protect much of the Marsh and create a new habitat for fish, birds, plants and animals in order to achieve no net loss overall; . transfer the CBM stone crushing and readi-mix operations to an industrial location provided by the Municipality . create 120 acres of parkland to protect the community . close Waverly Road and transfer to Blue Circle and provide a new road access is to be provided to Cedar Crest Beach Road by constructing a bridge and road connections to West Beach Road. .. ... .. .. .. .. .. .. IlIIIi .. .. 1.2 1,2.1 Implementation of Trust Proposal In July 1996, Council authorized Staff to initiate negotiations with representatives of St. Marys Cement regarding the closure and conveyance of Waverly Road, and .. III 2 .. .. .. .. the transfer of the retained Marsh and other lands to a public agency. As well, in order to continue public access to Cedar Crest Beach Road once Waverly Road is closed, Council agreed to take public ownership of Cove Road and to build a bridge over the mouth of the Marsh to connect the two roads. .. .. 1,2,2 Staff initiated negotiations with the owners of property on both the east and west sides of the mouth of the Marsh to acquire the necessary lands to build the bridge and road approaches, .. - 1.2,3 The Municipality retained the consulting firm Bird and Hale Limited to undertake a scoped environmental study to determine the environmental impacts related to the construction of the bridge and road approaches. This report, completed in November 1996, indicates that there are no serious impacts on the natural environment resulting from the location and construction of the bridge and road approaches. The Report recommends a number of mitigative measures to reduce or eliminate the potential impacts. - .. .. ... 1,2.4 The consulting firm Totten Sims Hubicki was retained by the Municipality to undertake an engineering study to determine the final design and location of the bridge crossing and road approaches, including the necessary upgrades to Cove Road, .. .. - 1,2,5 Two public information centres were held, A Public Information Centre was held on February 18, 1997 to present and discuss the findings of the Environmental Impact Study with consultants and Staff, On September 4, 1997 a second Public Information Centre was held to provide information relating to the location and design of the bridge, the improvements to Cove Road and the diversion of Westside Creek, Notice of both Information Centres was provided to all residents of the waterfront communities adjacent to the Marsh. .. .. - - 3 - 2.0 CLOSURE OF WAVERLY ROAD 2.1 Report WD-51-97, as approved by Council on August 18, 1997, outlines specifics with regard to the closure of a portion of Waverly Road. This previous report authorized staff to advertise the Public Hearing required under the Municipal Act to close approximately five (5) acres of Waverly Road which would be transferred to Blue Circle and provide access to Cedar Crest Beach by a bridge and road connection to West Beach Road. 2.2 On April 7, 1997, Council approved report ADMIN-11-97 and directed staff to negotiate with Blue Circle respecting the financial package to cover the cost of the Cove Road project in order to transfer Waverly Road in exchange for the Blue Circle lands identified in the Trust's report of November 1995. 2.3 The residents of the Cedar Crest Beach Road and Watson Drive areas now have access to their properties only via Waverly Road. The acquisition of Cove Road, its dedication as a public highway, and the construction of the proposed bridge to connect Cove Road to Cedar Crest Beach Road would follow the closure and conveyance of the portions of Waverly Road in question. The Municipal Act prohibits the closing of a public highway, which is the only access to properties, unless access by another public highway is provided. In order to address these considerations, staff has negotiated for, and Blue Circle has agreed to lease to the Municipality, the portions of its present haul road and extensions of it shown on the Map contained in Attachment No.2. 2.4 The portion of the haul road and its extensions will be leased to the Municipality at a nominal rental, for a term which will expire when Cove Road and the proposed bridge are dedicated as a public highway under the Municipal Act. During the term of the lease, the portion of the haul road and its extensions would be dedicated by the Municipality as a public highway so that continuous access via a public highway would continue to be provided to the residents of the Cedar Crest Beach Road and Watson Drive areas. 4 .. .. ... .. ... .. .. ... ... .. ... .. ... .. ... III III wi ... .. - .. .. .. .. - .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. - - - 2.5 For clarification, the residents of the Cedar Crest Beach Road and Watson Drive areas would utilize the leased portion of the haul road and its extensions for that period of time following the transfer of Waverly Road to Blue Circle (estimated to be February 1998) until such time as Cove Road and the proposed bridge are dedicated as public highway (estimated to be late Fall 1998). Any unexpected problems with approvals under relevant Provincial and Federal Legislation or land acquisition could serve to delay construction, thus increasing the length of time requiring utilization of the leased haul road. 3.0 CONSTRUCTION OF WESTSIDE CREEK BRIDGE AND IMPROVEMENTS TO COVE ROAD 3.1 Preliminary drawings have been prepared by the Municipality's consultants which show the proposed Westside Creek bridge and the improvements that are necessary to bring Cove Road up to Municipal standards. The project includes constructing a bridge spanning Wests ide Creek including 120 metres of Cedar Crest Beach Road and the full length of Cove Road from the bridge to West Beach Road, a length of 325 metres. 3.2 The bridge shall be of concrete construction with a horizontal span of 32 metres, one traffic lane wide with a sidewalk on the south side. The design characteristics shall conform with current day criteria. 3.3 Cove Road shall be built with a pavement width of 6.5 metres with adjacent sodded shoulders and swales. The local residents have requested that construction designs be established as necessary to retain the present character of the neighbourhood. 3.4 Construction of the Wests ide Creek bridge will -require approvals under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act and the Navigable Waters Protection Act. Staff are continuing to follow up on all other approvals that may be required under 5 relevant Provincial and Federal Legislation. 3.5 We have circulated documentation associated with the proposed project to all affected Provincial and Federal agencies. The Environmental Assessment branch of the Provincial Ministry of the Environment and Energy have determined the project is subject to Schedule B of the Act. This requires the Municipality to publicly advertise the Notice of Project and to allow a 30 calendar day period for public review. This public notice was given as a result of Council's approval of Report WD-51-97 on August 18, 1997. We have catalogued copies of all reports, correspondence etc., in chronological order for public review and comment. The requirements of the Act will be fulfilled at the termination of the 30 day period, ending October 10, 1997. However, approval of the undertaking could be delayed should an objector file a notice requesting a bump-up to the Schedule C category of the Act. 3.6 The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) has declared the open waters of Westside March as navigable and subject to the provisions of the Federal Navigable Waters Protection Act. This effect of this declaration is to require the preparation of an Environmental Study Report with subsequent circulation of the report by CCG to other agencies. This process has now commenced and barring any difficulties, we anticipate receiving the necessary approvals by October 31, 1997. 3.7 The decision by staff and Council early in the design process to construct a free- span bridge has been very advantageous. In taking this course of action, construction of the bridge abutments does not take place within the limits of the mouth of the marsh, thereby eliminating or at least minimizing disruption to the waters in question. The Ministry of Natural Resources, CLOCA and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans have recognized that the choice of a free- span structure eliminates or at least minimizes their concerns relating to environmental impacts of the structure. The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) are of the opinion of the proposal for a free-span structure does not eliminate their 6 .. ... .... .... .. .. .. ... .. .. .. .. .. I ... .. III ... III l1li .. .. .. ... .. ... ... ... ... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. - - - concerns respecting environmental impact. The CCG continues to examine the bridge proposal for compliance with the Federal Environmental Assessment Act. 4.0 STATUS OF NEGOTIATIONS WITH BLUE CIRCLE 4.1 Staff and Blue Circle have been meeting to settle the terms of Principles of Understanding that will achieve the intent of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust's recommendations to the greatest extent possible. 4.2 The implementation of the recommendations will require that: . Blue Circle enter into a legal arrangement with Ontario Hydro, the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the Ministry of Natural Resources and CLOCA respecting the fish habitat; . Blue Circle enter into a legal arrangement with CLOCA respecting the diversion works and lands; and . the transfer of certain lands to CLOCA, the making of a management agreement respecting them by the Municipality and CLOCA and the implementation of the plan by CLOCA. 4.3 The implementation ofthe recommendation respecting Waverly Road requires that a temporary replacement public highway be leased from Blue Circle, which will terminate when the Cove Road and the Westside Creek Bridge are dedicated as a public highway. The recommendation respecting Cove Road and its connection to Cedarcrest Beach Road via the new Westside Creek Bridge involves the acquisition of certain lands and interests in Cove Road from a number of private owners. 4.4 Negotiations or actions have been undertaken respecting each of the above matters. They will be discussed in detail in a further report to the General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting on October 6, 1997. 7 4.5 The first step in implementing the Waterfront Trust's recommendations, referred to above is for Council to hear and consider representations and comments made at Council's meeting on September 29, 1997 respecting the proposed closing of a portion of Waverly Road, the authorization of a conveyance of this land to Blue Circle, and the approval of the dedication of the temporary public highway referred to above. The Principles of Understanding should be considered by Council before a final decision is made respecting the proposed closure, conveyance and dedication. 4.6 For legal reasons, the Principles of Understanding will be made fully conditional on the necessary senior government approvals being granted. In the event that all approvals are not granted by December 31, 1999, the Principles of Understanding will unwind and consequently will not bind either the Municipality or Blue Circle after that date. 4.7 The main elements of the Principles that have been negotiated to date are the following: . The Municipality will transfer the portion of Waverly Road to be closed which is shown on the map contained in Attachment #2 to Blue Circle if Council decides to pass the necessary by-laws to authorize the closure, conveyance and dedication referred to above and to dedicate the proposed Temporary Public Highway, referred to below. . Blue Circle will lease to the Municipality the haul road which is shown on the map contained in Attachment #2. It is located to the west of Waverly Road and has connections to Waverly Road. The haul road will then be dedicated as a public highway ("Temporary Public Highway") until Cove Road and the Westside Creek Bridge are dedicated as a public highway and the lease is terminated. . On the closing date, Blue Circle will transfer to CLOCA the Marsh Link lands, the Bowmanville Marsh and the Bowmanville Valley lands shown on Attachment #3. Blue Circle will also transfer in escrow to CLOCA the Reconfigured Westside Marsh also shown on Attachment # 3. The transfer to CLOCA will be effective on the closing ofthe Temporary Public Highway and its release of the lease to Blue Circle. 8 ~ ... ... ... .. ... ... ... .. ... .. .. .. .. ... .. .. .. ... .. .. - - ... - .. .. ... - - ... .. ... .. - - - .. . The lands transferred to CLOCA will be managed as interrelated components of a wetlands complex with adjacent wetlands. (The Marsh Link lands had been intended to be used by Blue Circle as a site for the relocation of its rock crusher.) . Blue Circle will enter into an agreement with Ontario Hydro to permit the construction of Westside Creek diversion works on Ontario Hydro lands. CLOCA will manage these works and will be transferred an easement interest by Ontario Hydro. . Blue Circle will construct a portion of the diversion works on lands which it now owns and will retain. . The balance of the Westside Marsh will be a future quarry site as shown on the map contained in Attachment #1. . Blue Circle and CLOCA will execute a monitoring and maintenance agreement. They will also execute an agreement with the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the Ministry of Natural Resources. The agreements will address the construction and maintenance ofthe Westside Creek diversion works and other flood control works. The installation and maintenance of the bio-engineering works necessary to establish a new fish habitat will also be addressed. . CLOCA will manage the lands transferred to it by Blue Circle in accordance with a management agreement which will be made by CLOCA and the Municipality. . The management agreement will provide for the preparation of a management plan according to terms of reference which shall first be approved by the Municipality. The cost of preparing the management plan will be paid by the Municipality and Blue Circle as a contribution to the start-up costs of CLOCA in the management of the Westside Creek/Bowmanville Marsh wetlands complex. . Blue Circle and the Municipality will contribute equal amounts of money to provide start-up funds for CLOCA to assist it in implementing the objectives of the management plan including such matters as tree planting, ponds, snake hibernaculum, trail and look-outs. . Blue Circle and the Municipality will contribute equal amounts of money to fund the cost of implementing the above principles. This will include the estimated cost of reconstructing Cove Road and constructing the Westside Creek Bridge. 9 ... .... · Blue Circle will provide for an emergency access through their lands to serve the residents of Cedar Crest Beach. wi · Blue Circle will not object to modifications to the Regional Official Plan and the Clarington Official Plan which reflect the arrangements. ... · Blue Circle will not object to the rezoning of their lands which will be conveyed to CLOCA to an Environmental Protection zone. .... .

TIlA T the cost of the computer software, hardware and consulting required to accommodate lax changes as a result of Bill 106 be financed from the Working Funds and Rate Stabilization Reserve; 10. THAT the Purchasing By-Law be waived for the abo\'e recommendations; and 11. THAT the amended By-Law (Attachment #1) be forwarded to Council for approval. BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: 1.4 1.5 On May 27, 1997, the Fair Municipal Finance Aet 1997 (Bill 106) received royal assent. This legislation has a significant impact on the Tax Department and the requirements of the computer software. Examples include items such as, phasing-in requirements, tax ratios, property tax classes' and farm and managed forests percentage discounts. The existing tax software has been modified/customized over the years but has not been replaced since approximately 1986. rIlle existing software cannot accommodate the requirements of Bill 106. The software would have to bc entirely rewritten/redesigned at a cost in excess of the replacement costs. 1.2 Also, major staff resources would be required in any redesign. It is far more cost effective to purchase new software already designed to accommodate the changes of Bill 106. 1.3 As Council is aware from the auditor's management letter to Council for the 1996 year end audit, the Municipality's current financial software cannot accommodate year 2000 issues. It was anticipated that full replacement of the financials (including tax) would be prcsentcd to Council for approvlll through the 1998 Cllpit/l1 Budgct proccss. 'OIC recommendations in this report result in advancing the timing of the tax module replacement and the required hardware and database software. It is still anticipated that the balance of the financial software will be addressed through the 1998 Capital Budget process. Municipal staff have participated in several vendor demonstrations with other area municipalities in the Region of Durham. Due to short time requirements in order to install and implement in time for the effective date of January 1, 1998 of Bill 106, it is not feasible to issue a full Request for Proposal. There are a very limited number of software packages available that can accommodate all of the changes in the time frame required. The area municipal staff have specifically looked at two systems, Vailtech and Sierra for th~ tax module. Both systems have full integration capabilities.with currcnt full financial systems in the marketplace. The Region of Durham will be forwarding to Treasury staff TR-75-97 Page - 3 - significant information they have accumulated with respect to replacement of the fmancial software. None of these financial packages include 8 tax module. The tax component is purchased separately but fully integradable into the systems available. . .'-. -, 1.6 Based on a comparison of Vaiheeh and Sierra. both appear to have fairly complete functionality. However, Sierra does not have a counter cash receipt system and is significantly more expensive than Vailteeh. 1. 7 Staff have reviewed recent Request for Proposals issued by London, St. Catheones and Ottawa. Vail tech was awarded the contract in all three cases. 1.8 Due to the large number of municipalities in a similar situation as Clarington, in order to ensure delivery time frames, it is necessary to make a commitment to the software vendor as soon as possible. ' WORKING FUNDS ltESEUVE 2.0 .\ Bill 106 Part Two, indicates that in future, the full amount of any surplus must be applied in the subsequent year's budget process. Currently. the Municipality through the budget process, draws in only the portion necessary to meet budget requirements. The balance is carried over to future years to provide for longer term stability. In order to secure this ability to provide some stability in the longer term, it is necessary to transfer the balance of the surplus inlo a reserve. .. ... - 2.1 It is also recommended that this practice be established on an annual basis and the by- law for the Working Funds Reserve be renamed and amended to put this into effect. CONCLUSIONS: ... 3.0 3.1 Bill 106 has resulted in many required changes that must be accommodated at the municipal level. Consuhing services may be necessary as implementalion of a tax system proceeds and it is proposed that they be used on an lias required" basis. ... ... It is recommended that the required purchases be financed from the amended Working Funds and Rate Stabilization Reserve (balance approximalely 8900,000) and that the Purchasing By-Law be waived for all of the purchases due to the restricted time frames and small number of companies that can accommodate the legislative changes, current and future. ... - Respectfully submitted, OJ <tr~ C~. arane.
