"CARRIED" Council Minutes PRESENTATIONS DELEGATIONS ';~ - 2- April 14, 1997 I I I Dave Clark, Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission, together with Chris Bieber, Central Ontario Electric, presented the Durham Utilities Group Feasibility Study for Retail System Restructuring. They indicated that the MacDonald Advisory Committee recommended a considerable amount of amalgamation in the distribution of electric power in order to achieve efficiencies of scale. The government is strongly encouraging amalgamation studies and the prospect of retail competition demanding new business structure that can deal with the wholesale buying and retail marketing of electricity. The study highlights amalgamation of the eight municipal electric utilities within Durham Region in 1998 and expansion into the Ontario Hydro retail system in 2001. The average savings, by way of rate reduction and amalgamation dividends, will amount to 1.9% recognizing an annual savings of approximately $5 million. Mr. Clark and Mr. Bieber requested Council's endorsement of the Feasibility Study. I I I I Barry James, Livestock Valuer for the Municipality of Clarington, advised Council that the increase in livestock claims is due to the rapid increase in wolf population and the resulting disappearance of groundhogs and rabbits. As sheep are easy targets for wolves, and Clarington is home to some of the largest sheep producers in Ontario, the Municipality is a "hot spot" for wolf kills. Mr. James stated that in areas where electric fencing is installed, very few animals are lost to wolves. Rather than having the Province compensate for wolf damage, he would like to see a subsidy put in place for predator-proof fencing. I I I Douglas Markoff, Douglas Botanical Park and Nature Centre, 154 Aylesworth Avenue, Scarborough, M1N 216, addressed Council with respect to Report ADMIN-8-97. Mr. Markoff suggested that the Municipality purchase this property and then lease it to a viable business operation. Cost of the lease would offset the land costs and, therefore, public monies would not be used for the purchase. He suggested that an offer could be submitted to the Ontario Realty Corporation, conditional upon a viable business plan coming forward for the property. He suggested also that the Municipality attempt to negotiate a lower price for the lands and use other reselVe funds than the parkland reselVe. Mr. Markoff stressed that this is an opportunity for the Municipality to develop a botanical garden which would have. tangible long term economic value to the Municipality. It is a step which is good for the Municipality, the land, education, arts and culture, children and the future. I I I I Gail Krantzberg, 40 St. Clair Avenue West, Toronto, M4V 3C3, indicated concurrence with the comments of Douglas Markoff. She stated that urbanization is encroaching on green space and pressure on farmland will increase in the future. The purchase of the Orono Nursery is an opportunity to preselVe some of the agricultural land within the Municipality as is mandated in the Official Plan. It is her hope that the Municipality is a partner with whatever business venture comes forward for the property. I I I I I I I Council Minutes I II II , I II DELEGATIONS - 3- April 14, 1997 Leah Houston, 137 Cedarcrest Beach Road, Bowmanville, Ll C 3K3, addressed Council in opposition to Ihe recommendations contained in Report ADMIN.11-97. In her opinion, the Westside Creek Marsh is being treated as a commodity with a dollar value being placed upon it. She indicated that this is one of the healthiest and most interesting wetlands in the Province and at this point no one can say for sure that the proposed plan will not hurt these wetlands. At this time, the best decision would be to make no decision. She questioned whether the new owners of St. Marys will honour commitments which have already been made. Maurice Nimigon, 280 King Street East, Bowmanville, LlC IP9, advised Council that he has spoken with numerous municipalities regarding livestock claims and has determined that the amounts paid out by Clarington are extreme. In speaking with Manvers Township, it was determined that veterinarians had been appointed as their livestock valuers. In so doing, the vets can determine whether the animals died from natural causes or were killed by wolves. Since this practice was put into place, Manvers Township has decreased their livestock claims by approximately 50%. He urged Council to look into this method of appointments. Jacqueline Lake, 254 Baldwin Street, Newcastle, LlB lCl, addressed Council on behalf of residents of Clarke and Baldwin Streets and concerned citizens residing south of Highway 401 in Newcastle. She questioned whether the proponents of the subdivision in that area will be required to widen the underpath or find an alternative access route as Bramalea Limited was required to do. Also, she questioned whether approval has been received from the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority to develop a road on the environmentally protected lands. Dr. John Campbell addressed Council with respect to the same matter and voiced concerns over the timing of the meeting which Council directed take place between the developer, residents and staff of the Planning and Development Department. Don Welsh, 4280 Mearns Avenue, Bowmanville, LIC 3K5, addressed Council on behalf of Durham Federation of Agriculture, and indicated concurrence with the Woodlot Preservation By-law as outlined in Addendum to Report PD-31-97. K. Dehaas, 83 Cedarcrest Beach Road, Bowmanville, LIC 3K3, requested Council's assistance in alleviating the problem of individuals parking on the vacant lot adjacent to his property at all hours of the night.

Willow provides counselling and support to women diagnosed with breast cancer. This counselling is backed by our comprehensive and up-to-date infonnation resources on breast cancer diagnoses and treatment -- the only such resource centre in Ontario. Service is provided on our toll-free line, by appointment or on a drop-in basis. All Willow counseliing is provided by breast cancer survivors. A professional staff member, herself a breast cancer survivor, provides services as well as trains and supervisors peer support volunteers. Our recent evaluation shows overwhelming approval of peer-support counselling. Counselling and support is backed by the provision of carefully researched and up-to-date information on breast cancer prognoses and treatments. A professional research librarian reviews new literature and data sources and up-dates information files weekly. Peer support volunteers work with her to compile the 1atest and most relevant information materials and prepare an information package for each client. Our services are linked to community-based support groups. With our new partner, the Breast Cancer Support Network for Ontario, we can link callers in need of ongoing 7&5 Queen Street East, Toronto, Ontario M4M IRS Tel: (416) 778-5000 Fax: (416) 778-8070 support to some 50 cornmWlity-based support groups throughout the Province. And, we will be providing training workshops for the facilitators of these support groups throughout the year. Willow is a non-profit organization and a registered charity. We have a very active volWlteer Board of Directors, the majorit,r of whom are breast cancer survivors. We have extensive support for our mission and activities in the broader corr-,IDWlity as can be evidenced in the number of individuals, businesses and corporations that actively support our fimdraising events. Our office is now well-established and has excellent data, [mancial and administrative systems in place. Qualified staff work in tandem with an active group ofvolWlteers who enrich the support and information services we provide to women. We are grateful to the federal and provincial governments who have each provided start-up fimds. .", > More than 8,000 women in Ontario are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. As one of the leading causes of death in women, breast cancer takes the lives of more than 2,000 Ontario women every year. With just over a year of service, Willow has proven it is highly successful at meeting the complex needs of women facing the full impacts of a breast cancer diagnosis. However, in this first year, we were able to reach under 10% of women in need. Now, with our new toll-free line and with your help in publicizing our service, we hope to reach many more. Enclosed please find a package of information pampWets for your offices and for distribution in your cornmWlity. If you need additional information or extra copies, please do not hesitate to call.

We ue given to understand that this action was taken as a response to her release of information to the public which the Provincial Privacy Commissioner considers to be information the public is entitled to. We believe that Mrs. Connor has acted in good faith and that your Boud's decision is unwarranted and at best overly severe. It is one thing for the Boud to endeavour to silence its critics, but it is entirely unacceptable that in so doing it disenfranchises all of the residents of this uea in matters that directly concern them. Therefore, by motion unanimously carried April 15th, 1997, this Council has requested that your Boud review its position and rescind its decision reguding Mrs. ConnoJ:_.with.OuL__,_....~._..__ delay.

Box 85 Port Hope, ON L 1A 3V9 Dear Ian Angus Thank you for sharing your Council's opinion conceming the Board's decision of 20 February 1997, approving the expenditure referenced in your letter of 13 March 1997. The resolution passed by the Board is legal, enforceable and one which the Board believes is in the best interests of the students and ratepayers of this jurisdiction. Your position is based on inaccurate information. Please consider the following: 1. Board resolution #97-018, which reads: "that the Northumberland-Clarington Board of Education approve expenditures to a limit of 60% of the funds allocated in 1996 prior to the finalization of the Budget for 1997." II 11 I I II II I This action is usual and required to ensure continuous operation of the Board's financial affairs pending the finalization of the budget. 2. The monies identified to support the legal challenge by OPSBA will come from the Board's legal costs budget. 3. The Province's intended legislation has not been approved by the House and therefore has no legal status. Notwithstanding this comment, this Board has been operating on the premise that the legislation will be approved, in some form or another, and has exercised considerable care to remain within the intent of the proposed legislation even though we disagree with Bill 104. The action of the Board in supporting OPSBA's challenge meets all of these requirements. ~as.1 r-D~is. TmuT,oN"'ll i CLERK /.:l:;d I Trustees r .~CK.

The monies identified will be used, through our provincial association, to challenge the legality of the Government's action to the Supreme Court of Canada should they follow through with action in this regard. Bil/104 currently before the House does not address this issue. 4. Other organizations in Ontario, including the Ontario Association of Municipalities, have also allocated taxpayers' dollars to challenge various actions of this Government when they have believed the Government is attempting to implement changes contrary to the best interests of the people of their communities. This Board is doing exactly the same thing. Your letter to the Education Commission describing the Board's actions as "a gross misuse of funds" and a "wanton waste of resources" is offensive, misinformed and completely outside your area of jurisdiction. Again, I must remind you that it is the responsibility of this Saare/to ensure the long term needs of our students are protected. We view the loss of the ability to generate revenue from local taxpayers as unconstitutional and a serious erosion of local autonomy. Our ability to fund programs important to our students is essential. If you were a sitting member of this Board your understanding of this issue might well be different. Yours truly ~X:: J~~ R.L.

The provincial govenunent plans to make changes to Bill 98, the Development Charges Act, Mwticipal Affairs and Housing Minister Al Leach said today at the opening of public hearings on the bill. The government's proposed amendment would no longer require municipalities to contribute 10 per cent of the costs of the roads, water and sewer systems, hydro, and fire and police services needed for new growth. '''This proposed amendment comes as a result of exttemely productive discussions with both mwticipalities and developers," said Leach. "We look forward to even more input from the public in these Committee hearings." . The new Development Charges Act (DCA) was introduced last November, after a year-long government review of the existing development charges system, which allows municipaIities to recover the costs of the services they provide for new growth. Under the provisions of the new DCA, development charges would no longer fund facilities used by the entire community, such as museums, city halls and art galleries. The new act would also require municipalities to contribute 30 per cent of the growth-related costs of facilities such as libraries and recreation centres, rather than 100 per cent of these growth-related COstS being covered by development charges. While the government is proposing to remove the requirement that municipalities contribute 10 per cent of the costs of key infrastructure needed for growth, Leach said, any decision regarding the 10 per cent municipal contribution to the costs of transit and waste management services will await input from the legislative hearings. 'The new Development Charges Act would restore balance to the system," said Leach. "It addresses the concerns of the development industry and it gives assmance to municipalities that key services and infrastructure will still be funded through development charges. It would make new homes more affordable, create growth and jobs, and p!Qmote industrial expansion. .. Minister Leach also tabled the dmft regulations to the legislation today. The Standing Committee hearings will move to Ottawa tomorrow and to St Catharines on Wednesday, March 26. Final hearings on the bilI will be held in Toronto on April 21 and 23. 1997. - 30- r:~I;~UTION I I ...0...,......,_.,____-;- I '" 'W .~_'_ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I For more information, please contact: Nancy Bardecki Municipal Finance Branch (416) 585-6951 Christine Burkitt Minister's Office (416) 585-6932 For copies of the draft regulations to BiIl98, please contact: Steve Harlow Municipal Finance Branch (416) 585-6988 Disponible en fran~is Visit the ministry of Munidpal Affairs and Housing's World Wide Website at htt:!fwww.mmab.gov.on.ca tor more background on the Devetopment Charges Act, 1997. - - 1 f, _ :~_~~,.

BACKGROUND: As you are aware, on March 20 the municipal members of the Provincial/Municipal Transition Team tabled an alternative proposal with their Provincial counterparts recommending that municipalities take on financial responsibility for certain hard services related to education, in exchange for a greatly reduced financial role in social assistance, long-term care and social housing. The proposal was deemed to be unacceptable by the Province, because it raised the distinct possibility of a Constitutional challenge with regard to the treatment.of education funding. STATUS: .- ! I The basic tenets of the municipal Proposal remain on the table. As you know, some of the basic principles behind the proposal are: L · relative fiscal neutrality should be achieved in any transfer of services; . · the diversity of Ontario's communities l1)ust be respected - one size does not fit all; · our roles and responsibilities must refll'ict our financial contribution _ pay for say; · municipalities recognize that people in Ontario want better government at less cost; and · the Provincial Government has a stated commitment that its actions will not result in increases to property taxes. The municipal members of the Transition Team are now developing a revised proposal that addresses all of the concems raised, while remaining consistent with the general direction of the Crombie panel's final letter to the Province. The revised proposal will also address the concerns expressed by some municipalities regarding possible entanglement in the administration of the school system. The Transition Team has worked closely with senior municipal staff to ensure that the municipal proposal reflects th.e best practical as well as political expertise available. We will keep you informed as developments occur. , ...-~ , Because of delays in the Legislature resulting from the filibuster over Bill 1 03, it is anticipated that this proposal will be formally tabled with the Province next week. Details of this proposal will be made available to municipalities as soon as it is tabled with the Province. Timing remains aitical. Municipalities need certainty in order to plan for changing roles and responsibilities, and in order to meet the ongoing needs of our communities. AMO and the Transition Team will continue to press the _.. Government for a timely solution that better protects the interests of property tax payers in every part of Ontario.

Separate School Board Peterborough, Victoria, Northumberland & Clarington 1355 Landsdown St. West Peterborough, Ontario. K9J 7M3 Altn: Ray Stewart On Monday March 24, after returning from vacation, my husband and I were greeted home by a letter indicating that the mother of one of the children who waits for the school bus outside our home is suing us for apparent injuries including severe facial lacerations. We have tolerated this move of the bus stop to our front lawn for the last year or so, unhappily, but we will tolerate this no longer. We were never asked if we were prepared to assume the increased liability of a number of people using this comer, as I am sure no one is ever asked. We believe, however, that homeowners should be aware and notified of the increased risk of a lawsuit simply because of the increase in traffic. There is no sidewalk in front of our house. The only sidewalk runs along Glenabbey. We have always made a point of shovelling, salting, sanding and sometimes using ki~to keep the sidewalk clear. This is done before we can even take our own children to the public school. We are not separate school supporters and therefore receive no benefit from the bus stop. Over the past year, we have noted many problems with the use of the comer of Found and Glenabbey which I list futther in this letter. On the 24 March, I called your office and spoke with Lenore Hickey at approximately 2 O'clock. She advised me you would call me right back. I called again at 3:45 and left a message for you on your answering machine. On Wednesday March 26, you left a message on my answering service that you would be coming out that day or the next to review the situation. On Tuesday April 1, I again called and left a message for you so that we could discuss this matter as this lawsuit and the aggravation around this issue is having a definitely negative impact on us as a family. You have never returned the call. We have since met with an investigator who is proceeding with an investigation of the alleged slipping of a child onto ice. Given that this moming there were 21 people at this comer (none at either of the other three corners as we have this on video over a few days), this increases our liability and chances of someone suing us again no matter how well we care for the area. No homeowner has the ability to cover themselves for the liability of this number of people. We do not have endless liability either. By having the stop there, you are forcing us to assume liability for all occurrences on the town property and ours that may result from this daily use. In addition. the costs in continually seeding to try to keep grass growing especially around the stop sign which the children use to swing around, become costs that we are assuming. To not do so has a negative effect on the propeny value and the potential saleability of our home. ....2 -2- We summarize our concerns over the bus collecting and dropping off children from Mother Theresa as follows: I. Maintenance of area -mud in spring from kids swinging around the stop sign and sometimes our front tree -reseeding this area trying to get the grass to grow is continually trarnpelIed by kids -shovelling every morning in the winter before we can even take our own kids to school -we buy salt, sand and sometimes kitty litter to be excessively sure that it is not slippery -appearance has affect on the property value and potential saleability of our home 2. A vailable area for waitine parent~ and children -comer isn't fully concreted as are the corners at Sandringham and Glenabbey or even the other side of the street from us. -difficult for the kids as they are all congregating at the end of the sidewalk by the road, on the road, on town property or on our lawn -21 people were congregated at the corner of G1enabbey and FOWld Court this morning at 8:30 a.m., Tuesday April 8, 1997. 3. Snow Piles -snow plows deposit a considerable amount of snow at the corner as they go aroWld. -although this is great fun for the kids it is also not safe as they end up playing on the snowbanks at the side of the road -we refuse to shovel our front lawn 4. Bus Route -we have seen the bus can't always turn around in the court without having to back up. -small pre-school children play in the court directly in the bus's path as it enters & turns -separate school parents down here have told me that the bus was never mean! to come down here because there was no adequate place for it to turn aroWld 5. R...>l""" Bu.'! Stoo was OIanl!ed -the bus stop location was changed after complaints from neighbour. -lIma Bell complained to me and then the board that her children had too far to walk in the winter Le. up to Sandringharn -I'm afraid I was not too sympathetic given our children have to walk funher -Mrs. Bell infonned me that she complained to the Separate School Board and Mother Teresa so that the bus stop was moved.... to our front lawn ...3 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 7. 8. -3- 6. Effect on Glenabbev Traffic -it is also difficult for drivers coming inlo or going out of court (namely us if we choose 10 drive our children to school in the winter or before leaving for work) because of the vans that park along Glenabbey by the corner beside our house. -vans are parked there so that the children are kept wann while they wait for the bus -it is dangerous as a driver as you can't see out into Glenabbey to make a turn -I have had kids corne from in front of the vans out into Glenabbey to cross the road (luckily I was at a stop to get into the coun and not one of the drivers that fly down Glenabbey) Garbaie -there are times when we have to clean up dirty kleenex from the front lawn. Effect on do~s -we haven't been letting our dogs out the front for fear of the kids teasing, playing and being scratched or bumped down by playful. but big dogs. 9. Increa<red liability -now having had a child apparently fall on our sidewalk (at least we're told it was the sidewalk) while we were away. we are being sued. -there was a snow fall, so we are told, on the night before the child fell within the 24 hours to clear sidewalks. -we don't understand how a child standing waiting for a bus can fall and get injuries and severe facial lacerations except that we have seen these kids at the comer and the goofing around that kids do especially when they are not all supervised. -we are not saying it is all the kids; there are a couple of parents who corne down with their kids; there are also parents who walk aU over our lawn. Having this bus stop here is unsafe for the kids and is cenainly a considerable risk to us as a. homeowner. The mud and dead grass areas impact the appearance of our home. We are living with a constant wony over the sidewaIk, the comer, even backing out of my driveway one day a child ran across my driveway. I saw him at the last minute. We want the bus stop returned to its original place where the bus was not required to turn around, there was a driveway and a sidewalk for the kids to wait at that was along a logical route to Mother Teresa. Certainly these kids are able to walk from Oke to Sandringharn if the Public School kids can walk a further distance to Dr. Emily Stowe. ....4 -4- We suggest the following: that homeowners be asked in advance if they are willing to accept the increased liability of a bus stop in front of their home we understand it is partly town property, the town should be assuming liability for any homeowner who has a bus stop at their property the Separate School board should assume responsibility for any homeowner who has a bus stop at their property that a bus stop be designated at homes where the home owners support that board and have a child benefitting from the stop (you will probably experience less resistance) have buses stop in front of parks that are clearly town responsibility and not a homeowners responsibility In closing, let us say that we have since contacted Separate School Trustees Cecil Mackesey and Allan Baylis as well as the Town of Clarington on this matter. You may feel we are being unreasonable with our request, however we are the ones facing a lawsuit. increased potential for more lawsuits, increased insurance premiums because of the bus stop, decreased value of the home, increased maintenance and cost, all because of the board's action to put the bus stop on our front lawn. Who is being unreasonable? We want the bus stop moved to a safer place, better for the children, the bus driver, traffic, the parents and the homeowner. .e-~~ /, / If ~DlS$ fiE.R 1m ~ , ~CK~BY" ~ORlHAt.) 11);; IESUiu: drian FOSler 2 Found COurt Courtice, Ontario. mf06I,"1 -!; ~ cc: Francine Tremblay, Allstate Insurance Co.

Fundino Sources Financiallmolications and Imoact Statement: Bill 98 could marginally atter the potential revenue stream from a successfully implemented development charge for the Sheppard Subway project. The impact on Metro's constituent area municipalities is unquantifiable at present. Recommendations: It is recommended that Council: 1) endorse the GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs position paper. dated March 17. 1997. (attached) with respect to Bill 98. the proposed new Development Charges Act; 2) request the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to amend Bill 98 to include ambulance services needed for new growth as an eligible capital service for which development charges would be collected for 100 per cent of net capital costs; 3) request the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to amend Bill 98 to include transit services and residential waste management services needed for new growth as eligible capital services for which development charges would be collected for 100 per cent of net capital costs; and 4) folWard this report to The Standing Committee on Resources Development as Metropolitan Toronto Council's comments on Bill 98, the proposed new Development Charges Act. Council ReferencelBackaround/Historv: , A development charge is a financing instrument available to municipalities to charge new development in order to fund new infrastructure and services required to accommodate the new development. The Development Charges Act, 1989. sets the legal and administrative framework for establishing, collecting, managing and using development charges. During 1996, the Province reviewed the existing legislation - 2- to determine the scope of services to be covered by development charges and methods of calculating them. ~ On November 25, 1996, the Province introduced Bill 98, Development Charges Act, 1996. to replace the existing Development Charges Act. In reaction to Bill 98, a number of GTA municipalities. adopted resolutions to freeze further processing of development applications. On December 6. 1996, the GT A Mayors and Regional Chairs held an emergency meeting to discuss Bill 98 and endorsed a process to deal with the Bill. including the establishment of a Task Force to address the matter and report back to the GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs. On December 9, 1996, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing agreed to create a forum for negotiating concerns with the Bill between the GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs and the Urban Development Institute (UDI). The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing was also involved in the negotiations. After failure to reach agreement on all substantive issues. the forum for negotiations was dissolved. There was, however, agreement on a number of issues as shown in the atta.:hment to this report. On March 21, 1997, the GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs Task Force endorsed a position on Bill 98 as follows: 1 . That the Position Paper prepared by the GT A Mayors and regional Chairs with respect to Bill 98 (Development Charges Act 1996) be presented to the Provincial Standing Committee. 2. That each Mayor and Chair seek support and resolutions from their respective Councils endorsing the Position Paper and that these resolutions be forwarded to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Municipal Affairs, the Chairperson of the Standing Committee and local members of Provincial Parliament. Written submissions to the Standing Committee on Bill 98 are being received up to April 18. 1997. Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification: Metro Council has chosen to introduce a development charge by-law for the Sheppard Subway project. but has not adopted a development charge by-law under the existing legislation. Toronto and East York are the only Metro Toronto area municipalities not to have adopted a development charge by-law. Bill 98 represents a substantial departure from the existing Development Charges Act. The existing legislation allows a municipality to identify the municipal services for which a cl;arge can be imposed and set the amount of the charge. Bill 98 limits the municipal capital facilities that would be eligible for development charges and places a greater reliance on municipalities to finance such eligible services (i.e., co-funding). Bill 98 proposes that hard services be eligible for development charges with a requirement for municipal contributions of 10 per cent of net capital costs. but on March 24, 1997, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing announced proposed amendments to Bill 98 such that municipalities would no longer be required to contribute 10 per cent of net capital costs of the roads, water, waste water, fire and police services needed for new growth. The Province also announced that any decision regarding the 10 per cent municipal contribution to the costs of transit and waste management services would await input from the legislative hearings, prompting the recommendations contained in this report. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I i II' I I II I II II , , II - 3 - The Bill also proposes soft services as being eligible for development charges with a requirement for municipal contributions of 30 per cent of net capital costs. Eligible soft services include facilities such as libraries and community and recreation centres. as well as all other capital services not identified in the Bill as being either explicitly eligible hard services. or ineligible services. Capital facilities ineligible for development charges include administrative headquarters, cultural and entertainment facilities. tourism facilities. theatres. hospitals. parkland acquisition and other facilities as may be prescribed in regulations. Metro was not represented cn the GTA Mayors and Chairs Task Force during negotiations with the UDI. but has been monitoring the progress of the negotiations through the regular meetings of the GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs. . The GT A Mayors and Regional Chairs position paper reflects the substantive concerns of Metro in regard to Bill 98. The position paper appropriately suggests that legislating municipal contributions or co-funding (e.g.. 10 and 30 per cent) for new capital facilities to serve new growth is unacceptable as it would transfer additional costs to existing taxpayers. The GT A Mayors and Regional Chairs position supports transit and residential waste management services as hard services with 100 per cent funding through develooment charges with no municipal contributions. The GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs do not support the 30 per cent contribution factor for soft services as it is too dramatic a change at this time. Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing staff have verbally advised that ambulance services would be subject to the 30 per cent municipal contribution factor. as it is not specified in Bill 98 as an eligible hard capital service. At this time. Metro is the only municipality in Ontario with direct funding responsibility for ambulance services. Metro staff are of the opinion that ambulance services. shouid be treated in an equal manner as police and fire services. The GT A Mayors and Regional Chairs position maintains that essential emergency services. just as police and fire services. are at least as important as other hard services because they provide cnticallife and safety services to new reSidents. Therein. ambulance services should be funded 100 per cent through development charges to be consistent with police and !lre services. Metro Finance staff are currently reviewing the impact of the proposed legislation on the area municipal development charge by-laws in Metro Toronto and the Sheppard Subway project by-law which will be brought forward later this year Conclusions: The GTA Mayors and Reglcnai Chairs position paper With respect to Bill 98 generally addresses Metro's concerns. However. both Bill 98 and the position paper are silent on ambulance services as a eligible hard service subject to full development charges and no municipal contribution. The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing should amend Bill 98 to include all emergency services. including ambulance services. to be consistent with recent propesed amendments. The Minister should also amend Bill 98 to specify transit and residential waste management services as hard services being subject to 100 per cent funding through development charges and no municipal contributions.

The current owners, Mr. and Mrs. Luciano are aware of the application by Mr. AlIion and their written confirmation and acceptance of this is attached for the Members' information. The applicant is proposing to construct a two car garage, with a storage area on the upper half storey of the structure. The site of the proposed garage is subject to approximately 2.5 feet of flooding under Regional Storm conditions. Given that the proposed structure is a garage with storage on the upper half storey, the structure can be effectively wet f1oodproofed, given the flood depths at this location. Some minor filling is required for the proposal (approximately one foot in depth), which would result in the Proposed structure being subject to approximately 18 inches of flooding. This flood depth would meet the provincial guidelines for wet f1oodproofing of this type of structure (garage). As the storage area is on the upper half storey, items stored in this area would not be subject to damage. The minimal amount of fill required for the fill pad area would not adversely affect the floodplain characteristics. Staff require that the applicant submit further details regarding the fill area, as a recommended condition of approval of the application. Staff note that a previous Board approval was granted in 1989 (N89-70-C), which allowed for the joining of two cottages on the property in order to establish one larger habitable dwelling on the property. The Current application does not involve any works to the existing dwelling on the property, nor does the proposal result in any increase in habitable area. Based on the above, staff are prepared to support the application, subject to the fOllowing recommendations. RECOMMENDATION: THAT the application be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. Prior to the issuance of a pennit, the applicant shall submit further details regarding the filling required for a fi11 pad area in order to raise the strocture one foot above existing elevations. 2. TIwJ the owner enter into a Save Hann/ess Agreement with the Authority, to be registered on title at the owner's expense. 3. All disturbed areas shall be seeded, sodded or stabilized in some other manner acceptable to the Authority.

Sandra L. Hanson, Director of Corporate Services 1996 Audited Financial Statement Attached for your information and approval is the Authority's 1996 audited financial statement. Please review the notes on pages 7 and 8 as these notes form an integral part of the statement. Schedules I through 7 provide supplemental information and have been presented in the same format as the 1996 budget. At year end our final financial position was a net operating surplus of$ 62,883 (see Statement of Operations and Surplus, page 4 of the financial statement). The surplus occurred through a combination of increased conservation area programming revenues and reduced or deferred capital project expenditures. The projects and programs approved in the 1996 budget were undertaken and completed within the allocations approved, however, a number of variances occurred within program areas. Significant variances are as follows: Comorate Services (Schedule 2, page 10) - Reduced costs for ACAO levy, financing, authority meetings and publications were offset by emergency repairs to our heating and ventilation system at 100 Whiting Avenue. Watershed Manae:ement & Monitoring (Schedule 3, page I I) - Goodman TWo-Zone study costs were financed directly by the developer and the Farewell Creek subwatershed study was deferred until lands proceed to development. Watershed Stewardship (Schedule 5, page 13) - Additional costs for the extension services and tree planting programs were due to undertaking a survey project for Second Marsh and taking part in the Trees Ontario program. Costs were offset by additional program revenues. C. A. Land Manaszement (Schedule 6, page 14) - Additional cost in motor pool was for offset by sale of swplus assets, see authority generated revenue, page 9. Lyride shores signage project was deferred to 1997 for completion. Other ProlZram~ (Schedule 7, page IS) - Non-budgeted other program costs included a federally funded second marsh project and a benefits seminar fully funded by the ACAO benefits committee.

Mr. J. Witty, Chairman, Regional Municipality of Durham /~ 30 YEARS OF SERVICE TORONTO AREA TRANSIT OPERATING AUTHORITY PROPERTY TAXATION ISSUES - RAIL CORRIDORS GO TRANSIT PERSPECTIVE Current Situation: Most of GO Transit's service operates on rail corridors owned by CN or SL & H. The railways pay property taxes on these corridors, and under the respective operating agreements, a proportionate share is recovered from GO Transit. GO Transit's share of property taxes is approximately $3.5M per year. By comparison, CN has publicly stated that it pays $16M per year for property taxes in the GT A, which includes rail corridors not used for GO Transit service. SL & H has not, to our knowledge, publicly stated its property tax expenditures. In the case of rail corridors owned by GO Transit (most notably Pickering to Whitby), grants in lieu of property taxes are paid. This amounts to the normal property tax less the education portion. Transfer of GO Transit Funding Responsibility to Municiualities: The shifting of funding responsibility for GO Transit to municipalities has limited implications in terms of the existing property tax situation. GO Transit's share of property tax expenses are taken into account in the amount of subsidy, which currently stands at $1l0.6M per year. According to Provincial announcements, expenditures that become the responsibility of municipalities are equally offset by expenditures the Province will assume. In the case of railway-owned corridors, municipal tax revenue would be largely unaffected by the change in funding responsibility. The polarization of freight and commuter rail operations does pose a risk to municipalities in that GO Transit's share of taxes on some corridors could increase in the future as GO Transit's share of traffic on any given corridor increases. However, this risk is not directly linked to the transfer of funding responsibility. Municipalities currently face the risk of lower future revenue due to potential abandonment of unprofitable corridors. In the case of GO Transit owned corridors. it is uncertain what GO Transit's property tax status would be once it is no longer a Crown Agency. However. the point is probably inconsequential as municipalities would effectively be paying taxes to themselves through GO Transit. Taxation O~tions: 1. Reassessment to Industrial Land Value Option: The Who Does What Sub-Panel on Assessment recommended that railway corridors be assessed at the industrial rate, rather than the abutting land use rate. It was also recommended that a discount rate be applied to reflect the limitations of linear right-of- ways. It is unknown whether the total property taxes on railway corridors in the GTA would increase, decrease, or remain the same under this option. .../2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I' I 11 i 11 Property Taxation Issues: GO Transit Perspective Page 2 of 3 eN has forecast, probably as a worst case scenario, that taxes would increase by up to 344%. If this were to occur, GO Transit's share would increase dramatically, however this would be paid to municipalities that also fund GO Transit. This option could be implemented by an amendment to the Assessment Act which clearly sets out the rates and discount factors, or leave the detennination to the Minister of Finance or to some other authority. 2. Reduced Assessment Option: In order to avoid abandonment of unprofitable rail corridors, at least one municipality is considering reducing property taxes as an inducement to maintaining rail operations. 3. Reduced Assessment in Exchange for Purchase Option: Similar to Option 2, Metro Toronto has suggested that property taxes could be reduced or even waived, in exchange for credits that the municipality could use towards the purchase of the corridor in the future, shOuld the railway propose abandonment. Analvsis; In the case of all the options, there is no effect on GO Transit when taking into account the funding stakeholders' perspective. AlthoUgh these options may increase or decrease the property taxes that GO Transit must pay, any difference in property tax payments ultimately ends up in the hands of the municipalities, who will also be funding GO Transit. In effect, municipalities will be paying taxes, through GO, to themselves. Nevertheless, these Options do affect the property tax revenue of municipalities, but only in tenns of the "net" property tax revenue from rail corridors. The net property tax revenue is defined as the total property tax payments from railways, less GO Transit's share of those taxes. Although COmplete figures are not available, GO Transit's share ofGTA railway property taxes is probably only about 10%. Option 1, Reassessment to Industrial Land Value Option, has the potential to increase or decrease the net property tax revenue, therefore municipalities mayor may not benefit. Option 2, Reduced Assessment Option, would reduce net property tax revenue, and may only defer abandonment. Option 3, Reduced Assessment in Exchange for Purchase Option. would reduce net property tax revenue, and may only defer abandonment, but it also provides the municipality with equity in exchange for foregoing tax revenue. .../3 Prop~rty Taxation Issues: GO Transit Perspective Page 3 of 3 Conclusions: From GO Transit's perspective, there are no concerns with any of these options. GO Transit's share of railway property taxes will ultimately be funded by the municipalities leaving the determination of "net" property tax revenue up to the individual municipalities. Anticipating the municipal perspective, both Options 1 and 3 have merit, depending on the circumstances of the particular corridor.

Part of the FCM strategy urges municipal councils to adopt a . - . '. resolution calling for deposiUreturn regulations on all beverage containers sold in the ProvincelTerritory, for packaging stewardship programs; and for legislation to govern packaging waste regulations if industry fails to meet the 1996 target in the National Packaging Protocol. . FCM has been an active member of the National Packaging Task Force since its inception in 1989 and has encouraged industry voluntarily to achieve waste diversion targets for packaging. FCM has taken the position that if voluntary targets are not met, legislation/regulations will be needed to ensure targets are achieved. A necessary first step-is.to ~~ek----~-_ greater involvement of provinces/territories. I c~~~m~T~~~ , ; i:;~1:;. BY.__ ._ 24. rue Oarcnce Street. Onawa, Onwio KIN 5P3 .

President c: Provincial/territorial municipal affiliates Enclosure I I I I RESOLUTION TO COUNCIL WHEREAS: . solid waste management is an important environmental issue; packaging waste comprises 30% by weight and 50% by volume of all waste sent for disposal; between 1988 and 1992, Canadians diverted 20% of all packaging waste from landfill, resulting in the fOllowing environmental benefits: . 20,525 tons of aluminum cans were recycled, saving sufficient electricity to power approximately 22,500 homes in Canada for one year; . 235,164 tons of glass were recycled, reducing the emission of acid rain producing sulphur oxides by an amount that would be produced to power almost 4,000 homes; . 42,284 tons of effluent were diverted from entering our waterways by using recycled paper fibre instead of virgin fibre; . 639,631 vehicles could be powered for one year through energy savings achieved by reusing high density polyethylene plastic cases; . 26,212 tons of steel cans were recycled, reducing the atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide by the amount produced by 10.641 vehicles; . 582,459 tons of wood pallets were reused, saving C02 emissions equivalent to that generated by 9,877.895 vehicles; enough electricity to power 2,215,186 homes; and the amount of SOx released by generating power to 1,656.252 homes; costs to municipalities for waste management initiatives, including recycling programs that divert packaging waste, continue to escalate; waste management creates new employment and economic opportunities, witnessed recently in Nova Scotia with the creation of new jobs owing to initiatives such as deposit/return legislation. j.

We are presently looking for a location to run a local activity centre which will involve the whole community at some level, for people who have developmental disabilities. Please find enclosed in this package a brief that will tell you more about the Project and its initiative. Our Project is very aware of the need to work together with the community to share resources and provide the opportunities and solutions to the issues facing the citizens of Clarington. We have worked very hard to foetor relationships with the community and its agencies and there has been some very exciting results. We have explored a potential partnership with Social Service, OCACL's Community Options Employment Program and two other employment related agencies to open and share an Employment Resource Centre in Clarington. Unfortunately Social Services have a strick time frame to adhere to and the opportunity will be lost unless we can secure a location quickly. This location will in some way be tied to the Community Centre initiative. The staff of the Municipality that I have had been fortune enough to connect with have offered support in exploring options available within the Municipality. The latest location discussed is the Old Fire Hall on Church Street I have met with Fred Horvath on a two occasions to discuss and tour the building. Fred has been assisting us in exploring this location as a potential for our centre and the Employment Resource Centre. The Building has approximately 800 sq. ft. of office space which could be used as the Employment Centre. The Fire Hall bays could be modified slightly to offer space for the activity centre. Together we see this as an ideal location for our initiative. . In light of our time constraints we need to move our request forward to the Municipality on a more formal basis. We would appreciate the opportunity to negotiate further the use of this location. Should you have any questions I can be reached at the following numbers: (905)623-2989 or (905)576-3261 EXT. 309.

FILE: PLN 20.4.4 j " II Recommendations: It is respectfully recommended to Council the following: THAT Report PD-69-97 be received; THAT the Development Charges By-law complaint submitted by Mr. Dan Strike, solicitor on behalf of his clients, Mr. and Mrs. Walsh requesting an exemption for the payment of the Municipality's Development Charge for the property located at 2926 Concession Road 8 - Part of Lot 5, Concession 7, former Township of Darlington, be APPROVED; and ., THAT Mr. Dan M. Strike and all interested parties listed in this report and any delegation be advised of Council's decision. BACKGROUND By correspondence dated February 25, 1997 addressed to the Clerk, Mr. Dan Strike, solicitor on behalf of his clients, Earl and Valerie Walsh, filed a complaint pursuant to Section 8(1 )(d) of the Development Charges Act. 1.2 The Clerk's Department, pursuant to the requirements of the Development Charges Act, advised Mr. Strike that a hearing had been scheduled for March 24, 1997 at 7:00 in the Council Chambers, Municipal Administrative Centre, 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, Ontario. PAGE 2 REPORT NO. PD-69-97 1.3 Mr. Strike highlighted for Council's benefit, at the March 24, 1997 hearing, a brief history of Mr. and Mrs. Walsh's property, noting that the house previously located on the property was destroyed by fire in 1987. The property was bought by the Walsh's in 1989. Their intention was to build on the property immediately. When Mr. Walsh initially applied for a building permit, he was advised that one was not available as the property did not have frontage onto an open public road. The Walsh's were able to provide frontage onto an open public road in 1996 by purchasing a strip of land from owners of an adjacent property. A building permit was subsequently obtained in November 1996. At that time the development charge was paid. Mr. Strike in conclusion submitted that the reconstruction of the residence on this rural property does not increase the need for services in the areas and, therefore, he believes that the Development Charges By-law 92-105 was applied in error. 1.4 Council, in light of Mr. Strike's presentation, endorsed the following resolution: 'THAT the correspondence dated February 25, 1997, from D. M. Strike of Strike, Salmers and Furling, Barristers & Solicitors, on behalf of Earl and Valerie Walsh regarding a Development Charges by-law complaint, be received; THAT the correspondence be referred to the Director of Planning and Development for review and preparation of a report to be submitted to the General Purpose and Administration Committee; and THAT Dan M. Strike be advised of Council's decision" 2. APPLICABLE DEVELOPMENT CHARGES ACT PROVISIONS 2.1 Under Section 8 of the Development Charges Act, the Owner has ninety (90) days from the date that a building permit is issued to submit a complaint. Upon receipt of a complaint, and before Council makes a decision on the request, Council must give the complainant the opportunity to make representations to Council. I I I I I I I I ,.; , I I I I I I I I I I I I II , II I' 1'1 REPORT NO. PD-69-97 PAGE 3 Such a hearing was held on March 24, 1997. .Staff would confirm that the requirements of the Development Charges Act leading to Council's consideration of this report have been met. 3. STAFF COMMENTS 3.1 The Municipality's Development Charges Policy Report provided the background principles and direction through which the Development Charges quantum was calculated, culminating in the enactment of the Development Charges By-law 92- 105. 3.2 Within the Development Charges By-law, Section 2(1) states that development charges are to be imposed against all land in the Municipality including all existing lots of record. This principle is based on the fact that residential development would increase the need for services. Where a building permit has not been issued, a development charge will be required prior to its eventual issuance. 3.3 The By-law did however contain an exemption to this principle. Where a dwelling has been demolished, a 24 month grace period from the time of demolition to the receipt of the building permit was provided within which a development charge would not be required. This was deemed to be a reasonable timeframe within which the owner can complete insurance claims and/or obtain the necessary approval steps for a building permit. 3.4 The Walsh's did not qualify for exemption under the 24 month grace periOd as the building was destroyed by fire in 1987 and building permit wasn't issued until November 1996. In this regard, the Development Charges By.law is clear and there was no error made by staff in the application of the development charge by- law to the Walsh's as suggested by Mr. Strike. REPORT NO. PD-69-97 PAGE 4 3.5 Although the Walsh's have not met the exemption provisions of the Development Charges By-law in this respect, staff in reviewing the 'Reasons for Complaint' filed by Mr. Strike (see attachment No.1) would not disagree that the Walsh's intention from day one clearly was to obtain a building permit for this property when they acquired the property in 1989, three years before the Development Charges By- law was passed. Our records confirm that Mr. Walsh approached the Municipality back in January 1990 to ascertain the possibilities of having the road allowance between Lots 4 and 5 opened to Municipal standards. Its construction would have permitted the issuance of a building permit for their property. Council of the day approved Mr. & Mrs. Walsh's request, subject to their entering into an agreement with the Town to satisfy all requirements, financial and otherwise. It is staff's understanding that in light of the costs associated with the works required to construct the road allowance, Mr. Walsh turned his attention to obtaining ownership of a strip of land from an abutting property to the south thereby providing the necessary access to an open public road allowance. This strip of land would provide frontage to the road allowance between Concession 7 and 8. A subsequent severance application was filed in 1996 and approved by the Region of Durham Land Division Committee leading to the issuance of a building permit in November 1996.. In clearing the conditions of approval, Mr. Walsh satisfied the Municipality's concerns with respect to access to the road allowance between Concessions 7 and 8 as well as meeting the requirements of the Fire Department for fire fighting purposes. Under the provisions of the Development Charges Act, a development charge was collected there. 3.6 It appears, due to various circumstances, the Walsh's were not able to qualify under the 24 month grace period for a development charges exemption. In consideration of the complaint filed, Council could deny the exemption request as staff has stated previously that there was no error in the application of the charge. However, Council could consider granting the request for exemption on I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I .- I I ! II ;1 II I ! REPORT NO. PD-69-97 PAGE 5 the grounds of extenuating circumstances, that being the Walsh's had pursued a building permit from day one and obviously would not have anticipated that the Municipality would bring in a Development Charges By-law in 1992. 3.7 Should Council, in light of the history and circumstances surrounding the property, deem it appropriate to approve the request as filed, staff will make the necessary arrangements to process the refunding of the development charge.

D.9). On November 27, 1996, the Walshs obtained a Building Permit from the Municipality to replace the house on their property which had been destroyed by fire. They had to pay a lot development charge at the time and believe that the Municipality's Development Charges, By-Law No. 92-105, was applied in error. The Municipality is not required to provide any new services that were not already being provided when original house burned down. Attached to this letter are the facts and reasons for the complaint.

"'ebruary 25, 1997 EARL AND VALERIE WALSH Development Charges By-Law Complaint Part of Lot 5, Concession 8 (Darlington) REASONS FOR COMPLAINT 1. In 1987 the existing house on the property was destroyed by fire. 2. In 1989 Valerie and Earl Walsh bought the lot with ::he intention to build on it immediately. 3 . In October, of Health property. 1989, Earl Walsh applied to the Durham DepartffiS!1t for the installation of a septic bed on ::he 4. In May, 1990, the Walsh C.L.O.C.A. to place fill residential purposes. entered on and into grade an agreement ".ith the property :'or 5. In June, 1990, Earl Walsh approached the Municipality to obtain a building permit but was advised one would not be issued because the property had no frontage on an open public road. 6. After trying to negotiate a solution with the MuniCipality and C.L.O.C.A. periodically since they were denied a building permit in 1990, the Walsh were finally able to convince an owner of adjacent lands to sell them a strip of land on which C.L.O.C.A. would allow them to build a road to provide their property the frontage required to get a building permit. The Walsh obtained a building permit on November 27, 1995 , and paid the lot development charge to the Municipality at the time. 7 . 8. The original house on the property was destroyed by fire in 1987 and would have been replaced in 1990 but for the legal complications that arose in trying to obtain a building permit. The Walsh submit that but for the aforesaid legal complications the house destroyed by fire would have been replaced before the inception of the development charges. The Walsh further submit that the reconstruction of thsir principal residence on their rural property does not increase the need for services in the area. The level of municipal services required because of the Walsh new house will not increase from the level provided prior to the housing burning down. This is not a case where a builder wilfully demolishes the house and delays rebuilding. In this instance the owners are rebuilding a house destroyed by fire and they have taken steps in a timely fashion to rebuild taking into account the legal complication of not having access on an open road.

MAYOR CLERK AMENDMENT NO.2 TO THE CLARINGTON OFFICIAL PLAN PURPOSE: The Purpose of this Amendment is to incorporate into the Clarington Official Plan the relevant parts of the secondary plan for the South-West Courtice Planning Area approved under Amendment No. 59 to the former Town of Newcastle Official Plan. LOCATION: The amendment applies to the lands located east of Townline Road, south of Glenabbey Drive, west of Prestonvale Road and north of Highway 401, being Parts of Lots 33, 34 and 35, Concession 1 and 2 in the former Township of Darlington, now the Municipality of Clarington. BASIS: The South-West Courtice Secondary Planning Area for this area was included in the Courtice Urban Area in the new Clarington Official Plan adopted by Council on January 29, 1996. The northerly portion was included in lands available for development prior to 2016. The southerly portion of the Planning Area includes lands not required for residential purposes by 2016 and was identified as a "Future Urban Residential Area". A Secondary Plan for this area was originally prepared as a transitional measure to enable the consideration of plans of subdivision and proposed zoning on the lands within the Planning Area prior to the approval of the new Clarington Official Plan by the Regional Municipality of Durham. It contained many of the policies of the new Clarington Official Plan. This measure was deemed necessary in light of the pending hearings at the Ontario Municipal Board concerning three private official plan amendments (Files: OPA 89-032, OPA 95-003, OPA 95-004). ;~ On October 4, 1996, the Ontario Municipal Board issued its order which approved Amendment No. 59 to the Official Plan of the former Town of Newcastle. On October 31, 1996 the new Municipality of Clarington Official Plan came into force and the Official Plan of the former Town of Newcastle was repealed. This Secondary Plan is based on Amendment No. 59. It preserves the policies with specific application to the South-West Courtice Planning Area. It deletes those redundant policies in Amendment No. 59 which are now part of the Clarington Official Plan. ACTUAL AMENDMENT: The Official Plan of the Municipality of Clarington is hereby amended as follows: . i) Add a new Secondary Plan as follows: ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I !I I , II :; ;.rl ~: I II I II i ! II L I , I ~outh-We5t (ourt;ce ~econdary Plan 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The South-West Courtice Secondary Planning Area comprises a portion of Bayview Neighbourhood and a portion of Penfound Neighbourhood as identified in the Clarington Official Plan. The Secondary Planning Area is approximately 148 hectares in size. 1.2 This Secondary Plan will guide Council in assessing various proposals for development and in the exercise of powers of subdivision approval, zoning and site plan control. 2. GOALS 2.1 To provide a residential living environment that promotes a desirable quality of life and social interaction. 2.2 To provide a broad range of housing to meet the evolving housing needs of current and future residents. 3. GENERAL POLICIES 3.1 The ultimate planned population for the Secondary Planning Area is approximately 6,200 persons at an overall gross residential density of 17.3 units per gross hectare. 3.2 This Plan has been prepared subsequent to the adoption by Clarington Council of the new Clarington Official Plan. In accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3.14 and 5.3.15 of the Durham Regional Official Plan, the preparation of the Clarington Official Plan included an analysis of the lands required to provide a 20 year supply of land. The northerly portion of the Secondary Planning Area are identified as lands needed and readily serviced by 2016. The projected population allocated to these lands is 4,500 persons. The southerly portion of the Secondary Planning Area are lands which cannot be readily serviced and are not required for residential purposes by 2016. The lands are identified as 'Future Urban Residential Area' on Map A. 4. LAND USE POLICIES 4.1 The land use designations for the South-West Courtice Planning Area are shown on Map A. The related land use policies are contained in Sections 9, 10, 14, 18 and 21 of the Clarington Official Plan and the relevant policies of this Plan. 4.2 Two heritage houses have been identified and indicated on Map A. It is the intent of Council to ensure the conservation of these structures and the appropriate integration of adjacent residences. Council may require the preparation of elevations, axonometric drawings or require site plan control for adjacent lands to re'1iew the context, scale and design of proposed development adjacent to these houses. 4.3 The minimum site area for the Mure secondary school site should be approximately 6 hectares. 4.4 Where the Environmental Protection Area designation corresponds to a stream valley, It includes a development setback adjacent to the defined top-of-bank or a 15 metre setback for warm water streams, whichever Is greater. The development setback shall be based on a stable slope and the sensitivity of the stream valley, and shall be determined in consultation with the Conservation Authority and the Province. In no case would the setback be less than 5 metres in width, In the case of new plans of subdivisions or consents, lot lines shall not extend beyond the established setback. 4.5 As a condition of development, development proponents shall enhance the natural state of the Robinson Creek by revegetating adjacent lands. Revegetation would Include planting of trees and shrubs in consideration of enhancing fisheries and wildlife habitat potential. 4.6 The alteration to the natural state of watercourses and creeks is discouraged. However, any proposal to alter a section of a watercourse must maintain or improve its ecological state, and incorporate natural channel design features to the satisfaction of the Conservation Authority and the Municipality of Clarington. In addition, a greater width for the Environmental Protection Area land may be required to accommodate natural channel design features, stable slopes, vegetation and buffer areas. 4.7 Young woodlands occupy portions of the Robinson Creek tributary flood plain and adjacent lands. This unit is comprised of vigourous young hardwoods and softwoods of high scenic quality, and in good biological health with a relatively high adaptability to disturbances. This stand of young woodlands is protected within the Environmental Protection Area designation associated with the Robinson Creek tributary. " 4.8 Consideration should be extended, wherever possible, towards preserving mature trees and woodlands which are outside of the Environmental Protection Area designation in order to fully derive benefits relating to microclimate, wildlife habitats, hydrology and scenic quality. In this regard, mitigation measures such as tree protection fencing, silt fence/sedimentation control, dust control, and protection of soil moisture regime shall be utilized during construction. 5. TRANSPORTATION POLICIES 5.1 The transportation policies contained in Section 19 of the Clarington Official Plan and the policies of this Plan shall apply with regard to the transportation system of the Secondary Planning Area. 5.2 New Bloor Street It is the policy of this Plan that Bloor Street will be realigned and constructed as New Bloor Street shown on Map A from Bruntsfield Road east to intersect with Prestonvale Road and shall be classified as a Type A Arterial Road. The roadway of New Bloor Street will be widened when considered necessary by Council from Bruntsfield Road west to intersect with Townline Road. The widening and construction of New Bloor Street shall be staged as determined to be appropriate by Council. 'Intersection improvement will be undertaken for those intersections shown on Map A. The Municipality will request the Regional Municipality of Durham to reconstruct the intersections of new Bloor Street with Townline Road and Prestonvale Road when reconstruction is considered necessary by the Region. It is the intent of this Plan that the .1 I . I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Ii I II I j' 5.3 Region will assume New Bloor Street as a Regional Road when it has been widened and constructed from Townl/ne Road to Prestonvale Road. Old Bloor Street It is the policy of Council to request the Regional Municipality of Durham to transfer Old Bloor Street shown on Map A to the Municipality when New Bloor Street is assumed by the Region. However, subject to construction of New Bloor Street in its entirety, inclUding the reconstruction of the intersections at Townline Road and Prestonva/e Road, Old Bloor Street shall be reconstructed to a Local Road standard, provided that the road authOrity may permit reconstruction to be undertaken in stages. It is the policy of the Municipality not to permit development of lands abutting and fronting onto Old Bloor Street until Old Bloor Street has been reconstructed to a Local Road standard, and for that purpose will enact a Holding Zone By-law applicable to such lands. 5.4 Local Road Access The locations of intersections of local roads with arterial roads are shown on Map A. 6. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT 6.1 Storm water management measures must be incorporated to mitigate the impacts of development on water quality and quantity, consistent with the Robinson Creek Master Drainage StUdy and the policies of Section 20 of the Clarington Official Plan. 7. IMPLEMENTATION AND INTERPRETATION 7.1 This Plan refines and implements the policies of the Official Plan. Unless othelWise indicated, the policies of the Official Plan shall apply to this Secondary Planning Area 7.2 A phasing plan shall be prepared for approval of plans of subdivision of the lands to which this Plan applies.
