PAGE 3
West Diamond Properties Inc. and Players
Business Park Ltd. (Metrus Properties Limited)
Peter Smith, Bousfield Inc.
To amend Official Plan Amendment No. 60 -Brookhill
Secondary Plan to permit changes in residential
densities, refining parkland hierarchy and the
accompanying land use schedules.
1.4 Plan of Subdivision: 423 residential unit plan of subdivision consisting of
181 single detached dwellings; 86 semi-detached
dwellings, 62 semi-detached/linked dwellings, 94
townhouse units, a park and a Future Development
Block.
1.5 Zoning By-law Amendment:
1.6 Site Area:
2.0 LOCATION
To change the current zoning on the lands from
"Agricultural (A)" to an appropriate zone to permit the
proposed development.
32.903 hectares (81.30 acres).
2.1 The lands subject to these applications are located on the west side of Green Road
approximately 300 metres north of Durham Hwy 2, being Part Lot 17, Concession 2 in
the former Township of Darlington (see Attachment 1).
3.0 BACKGROUND
3.1 In 2003, the applicants submitted a proposed draft plan of subdivision and .application
for rezoning. The applications were deemed premature due to the lack of prerequisite
studies required by the Official. Plan policies. The applications were returned to the
applicants. In early 2004, the applications were resubmitted but lacked the appropriate
application fees. In October 2004, the applications were again resubmitted with the
correct fees and the applications were accepted for processing.
3.2 On December 6, 2004 the Statutory Public Meeting was held. Staff recommended that
the applications continue to be processed subject to the completion of the Brookhill
Subwatershed Study and the preparation of a Secondary Plan for the Brookhill
Neighbourhood. Later that month, the applicants appealed the applications to the
Ontario Municipal Board on the basis that Council failed to make a decision within 90
days from submission of the original application in 2003. However, due to procedural
issues the appeal was not heard by the OMB.
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-09 PAGE 4
3.3 The Brookhill Subwatershed Study commenced in fall 2002. The funding for the study
came from major landowners in the neighbourhood including the applicants. The
purpose of the study was to develop a plan to manage the resources of the
subwatershed and provide for a framework for municipal planning decisions. The final
report was received in November 2005. The study recommended various changes to
the Official Plan, which were adopted in March 2008 through Amendment No. 60 to the
Clarington Official Plan (OPA 60).
3.4 Based on the recommendations of the Subwatershed Study, the Brookhill Secondary
Plan was prepared to detail land uses for the neighbourhood. During the preparation of
the Brookhill Secondary Plan, the applicants participated in the design charrettes and
public consultation process. Staff met with the applicant on several occasions to discuss
the various concepts for the proposed draft plan of subdivision. OPA 60, approved in
March 2008, introduced a Secondary Plan for the neighbourhood. No funding for the
Secondary Plan was received from land owners.
3.5 A revised subdivision design was forwarded to the Municipality on July 10, 2008. On
August 11, 2008 the Municipality received an appeal to the OMB on both the
subdivision and rezoning applications, again under Sections 51(34) and 34(11) of the
Planning Act, for failure of Council to make a decision in respect of these development
applications. A number of pre-hearing conferences, some being teleconferences, were
held. commencing in December 2008. This appeal was joined by the appeal to
Amendment No. 60 to the Clarington Official Plan. On October 26, 2009, Council
approved Modifications to Amendment No. 60. The Modifications were presented to the
Ontario Municipal Board, earlier that same day, uncontested.
3.6 Despite the appeals, Staff continued to meet and work through the various issues with
the applicants and their agents for these applications. On October 1Ot", 2008 Staff
received a revised Draft Plan of Subdivision and rezoning. Sufficient supporting
documentation to review the applications was received on October 31, 2008. A second
Public Meeting was held in December 1, 2008. Several revisions to the Draft Plan have
been received since that time. The final revision was received on November 11, 2009
and is the Plan of Subdivision now recommended for Draft Approval (Attachment 2).
3.7 On June 10, 2009 the applicant submitted an Official Plan Amendment to propose a
series of modifications to Amendment No. 60 (OPA 60) as adopted by Council,
approved by the Region, and appealed. The amendment reflected discussions between
the Brookhill landowners; during the preceding months. Given that Amendment No. 60
was the subject of an appeal by a third party, Mr. Koseck and is still not in force, the
application was filed out of caution by the applicant in the event that the approval of
OPA 60 was further delayed.
3.8 On June 26, 2009 the applicants were advised that the application was not complete, as
the prerequisite pre-consultation information was missing. The application was deemed
complete on July 27, 2009. On July 24, 2009, the applicant's solicitor requested Staff
not circulate the application or schedule a Public Meeting, in hopes of resolving the
modifications to OPA No. 60 and have them presented to the Ontario Municipal Board
for deposition thereon. As noted above, the majority of modification to OPA 60 approved
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-09
PAGE 5
by Council on October 26, 2009, were consistent with the Official Plan Amendment
application submitted by Bousfield's office in July of this year.
4.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING LAND USES
4.1 The subject lands are currently being used for agricultural crops. The site is relatively
flat, gently sloping to the south. The west branch of the Brookhill Tributary crosses the
lands. A hardwood forest is located to the west and north limits of the draft plan. A
portion of the Maple Grove Provincially Significant Wetland is located on the north limits
of the lands subject to this application. (Attachment 3)
4.2 Surrounding Uses
North: forested area and the Maple Grove Provincially Significant Wetland
South: future apartment development and Smart Centres site
East: agricultural fields, Brookhill Tributary, one rural residential dwelling and
Clarington Central Secondary School
West: Lands associated with Rekker's Garden Centre, and the rear and side yards
of rural residential properties.
5.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY
5.1 Provincial Policy Statement
5.1.1 The applications were reviewed in the context of the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement.
New development shall occur adjacent to built up areas and shall have compact form, a
mix of uses and densities that allow for the efficient use of land, infrastructure and public
services.
Planning authorities are required to provide for a range of housing types and densities
with a ten year supply of lands which are designated and a three year supply of zoned
and serviced lands within draft approved and registered plans. New housing is to be
directed to locations where infrastructure and public services are or will be available. A
full range of housing types and densities shall be provided to meet projected
requirements of current and future residents of the regional market area.
Healthy active communities should be promoted by planning public streets and spaces
that are safe and facilitate pedestrian and non-motorized movement. A full range of
publicly accessible built and natural setting for recreation including facilities, parks, open
space and trails should also be considered.
Infrastructure and public services facilities shall be provided in a coordinated efficient
and cost effective manner. Planning for these shall be integrated with planning for
growth so that they are available to meet current and projected needs. The use of
existing infrastructure and public service facilities should be optimized where feasible
before considering developing new infrastructure and public service facilities.
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-09
PAGE 6
Planning authorities shall support energy efficiency and improved air quality through
various means in the planning and development process.
Long-term prosperity, environmental health and social well-being depend on protecting
natural heritage, water, agricultural, mineral and cultural heritage and archeological
resources for their economic, environmental and social benefit. Development and site
alteration shall not be permitted on adjacent lands to the natural heritage features and
areas unless the ecological function of the adjacent lands has been evaluated and it has
been demonstrated that there are no negative. impacts on the natural features on their
ecological functions.
5.2 Provincial Growth Plan
5.2.1 The Provincial Growth Plan for The Greater Golden Horseshoe ("Growth Plan")
encourages municipalities to manage growth by directing population growth to
settlement areas. Growth is to be accommodated by building compact, transit-
supportive communities in designated greenfield areas and by reducing dependence on
the automobile through the development of mixed use, pedestrian-friendly
environments. Growth shall also be directed to areas that offer municipal water and
wastewater systems. Municipalities should establish an urban open space system within
built up areas which may include communal courtyards and public parks.
5.2.2 The Growth Plan requires that infrastructure planning, land use planning and
infrastructure investment will be co-ordinated to support growth: Infrastructure includes
transit, transportation corridors, water and waste water systems, waste management
and community infrastructure. Community infrastructure includes land, buildings,
structures for health, education, recreation, socio- cultural activities, safety and security
and affordable housing,
Planning for growth will take into account the availability and location of existing and
planned community infrastructure so that community infrastructure can be provided
efficiently and effectively.
6.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
6.1 Durham Region Official Plan
6.1.1 The subject lands are designated as "Living Area" within the Durham Regional Official
Plan. Lands within this designation shall be used predominantly for housing purposes
incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure to provide
living accommodations that address various socio-economic factors. A mix of uses such
as certain home occupations, convenience stores, public and recreational uses which
are compatible with their surroundings are permitted. Limited office development and
retailing of goods and services in appropriate locations and as a component of mixed
use development may also be permitted in Living Areas provided there are appropriate
provisions and designations in the area municipal Official Plan.
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-09
PAGE 7
6.1.2 In consideration of development applications in designated Living Areas, regard shall be
had for the intent of this plan to achieve the following:
^ A compact urban form;
^ The use of good urban design principles;
^ The provision of convenient pedestrian access to public transit, educational
facilities and parks;
^ A grid pattern of roads;
^ The provision and distribution of parks, trails and pathways and educational
facilities;
^ The types and capacities of the existing municipal services, infrastructure and
the feasibility of expansion; and
• The balance between energy efficiency and cost.
6.2 Clarinpton Official Plan
6.2.1 Amendment No. 60 to the Clarington Official Plan was adopted in March 2008 and
approved by the Region of Durham on August 5, 2008. Amendment No. 60 was
appealed. Council approved modifications to Amendment No. (OPA) 60 on October 26,
2009 and they were presented to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) on October 26,
2009 uncontested. Formal approval from the OMB is expected shortly. Any approvals of
the subject proposed plan of subdivision and zoning by-law amendment is predicated
on the OMB issuing approval of OPA 60 as modified.
6.2.2 Brookhill Secondary Plan
Community Structure
The draft Plan of Subdivision is consistent with the Principles and Community Structure
contained in the Secondary Plan. The neighbourhood is edged by a primary road
network being Brookhill Boulevard and Green Road. In the centre, a parkette is
surrounded by medium density development, being the Neighbourhood Commons Area.
The housing is focused around the parkette with access by rear lanes.
Land Use Policies
Within the Secondary Plan the subject lands are designated as Low Density
Residential, Medium Density Residential, Neighbourhood Commons Area and Parkette:
Low Density Residential housing includes single and semi-detached units and limited
townhouse dwellings. Coach houses are permitted in restricted areas. Low density
development shall be developed on the basis of a maximum of 30 units per net hectare,
consistent with the Official Plan policies.
Within the Neighbourhood Commons Area, street, block or stacked townhouses and
multiple unit buildings are permitted. Medium density shall be consistent with Official
Plan policies between 31 to 60 units per net hectare.
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-09
PAGE 8
Neighbourhood Commons Square form the central focus of the Neighbourhood
Commons Areas. The Square shall be a minimum of 0.8 hectares and shall be
surrounded on at least two sides and preferrably three or four sides by public roads.
The Square is accepted as parkland dedication required under the Planning Act.
Environmental Features
A hardwood forest and the Maple Grove Provincially Significant Wetland are adjacent to
a Future Development Block. An Environmental Impact Study is required prior to
consideration of this block for development. The EIS process is underway.
The Subwatershed Study recommended that the sub-tributary bisecting this plan of
subdivision could be enclosed in separate system. OPA 60 redesignated the sub-
tributaryfrom "Environmental Protection Area" to "Urban Residential Area".
Servicing and Finance
The Secondary Plan policies require the Municipality to work with the Region and the
landowners to develop a plan for phasing extension of services. In addition, approval of
development applications shall be conditional upon commitments from the land owners
with respect to the timing and funding of required road and transportation facilities,
parks and recreation, stormwater management, sanitary sewer and water supply.
7.0 ZONING BY-LAW
7.1 Within Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended, the lands are zoned
Agricultural (A). A Zoning By-law Amendment is required to implement the proposed
plan of subdivision.
8.0 SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND REPORTS
8.1 The applicants have provided the following documents in support of the draft Plan of
Subdivision.
8.1.2 Phase f and 2 -Environmental Site Assessment
The Site Screening Questionnaire prepared by the applicant indicated that an orchard
was situated on the site and as such, a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
was required. Sernas prepared a Phase 1 and 2 Environmental Site Assessment. Soil
sampling was conducted to determine the presence of arsenic and cyanide on the site.
The soil sampling analysis is within the acceptable levels according to the Ministry of
Environment's guidelines for residential uses.
8.1.3 Woodv Vegetation Assessment and Tree Preservation Reoorf
Cosburn Giberson Landscape Architects prepared a Woody Vegetation Assessment
and Tree Preservation Report in September 2008. This study assessed all existing
woody vegetation communities upon the subject lands and provided a summary and
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-09
PAGE 9
analysis of all vegetation communities and an evaluation of their preservation priorities
within the context of the proposed subdivision.
Although the site has been cultivated for many years, the report identified seven
woodland units on and adjacent to the site. With the exception of isolated tree
specimens on the north and west property boundaries, the majority of the vegetation
found within the site is of low landscape value, young stage of life cycle and often
contains invasive species. However, there is an opportunity to preserve high landscape
value woody vegetation along the north and west subdivision boundaries and within the
rear of the lots where lot depths permit.
8.1.4 Archaeoloaica/ Assessment
This Land Archaeology Inc. prepared an Archaeological Assessment in 2006, and 2007
for the lands on both sides of Green Road (West Diamond & Players Business Park and
1613881 Ontario Inc.). Stage 1 and 2 assessments of the properties were undertaken.
Seven pieces of chert were recovered representing the past occupation of the land by
First Nations occupations. None of these areas constituted a significant archaeological
site and no further work was required.
8.1.5 Noise /moact Studv
Sernas Associates prepared Noise Impact Study for West Diamond and Players
Business Park in September, 2008. The study addressed noise generated from
vehicular traffic on Green Road and projected traffic volumes from the future Longworth
Avenue extension and future Brookhill Boulevard. The report recommended noise
abatement measures to meet the noise levels acceptable to the Region of Durham,
Municipality of Clarington, and the Ministry of Environment. Noise fencing (1.8 metres
high) will be required along locations of Green Road and a portion of a block located on
the northwest corner of Brookhill Boulevard and Lane 3. Optional air conditioners can
be considered in dwellings fronting onto Green Road and Brookhill Boulevard. The
report recommended that a detailed noise impact study be submitted to identify noise
mitigation measures and warning clauses to be included in the subdivision agreement
once the final grading plans and the building plans are available.
8.1.6 Functional Servicino Studv
Sernas Associates prepared a Functional Servicing Study for this site, in October 2008.
The drainage from this site is approximately 46 hectares, which includes all lands within
the draft plan, the lands north of the draft plan to proposed Longworth Avenue extension
and the proposed residential development south of Brookhill Boulevard. The site drains
from north to south. The minor system flowing from the subdivision will discharge into a
proposed stormwater management pond located on the east side of Green Road and
immediately north of Brookhill Boulevard. The proposed pond has been sized to
accommodate runoff from the lands west of Green Road and additional lands on the
east side of Green Road. Major system flows (overland flow) will be conveyed to the
stormwater management ponds via the public road allowances and open ditches on
Green Road.
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-09
PAGE 10
The West Branch of Brookhill Tributary flows in an easterly direction through the south
end of the subject site at the location of the proposed Brookhill Boulevard alignment.
The flows from lands west of the development will be captured and conveyed via a
clean water pipe and outlet east of Green Road, to a proposed channel which will tie
into the east branch of the Brookhill Tributary.
Sanitary sewer drainage was accommodated for within the existing 400mm sewer stub
provided on Green Road immediately north of Stevens Road and conveyed to the Port
Darlington Water Pollution Control Plant via the sub-trunk sewer on Clarington
Boulevard.
The Brookhill Neighbourhood is within the Zone II water distribution pressure district.
Water supply can be provided from the existing 300mm feeder on Boswell Drive and by
extending the existing 400 mm feeder watermain northward on Green Road from
Stevens Road.
8.1.7 Traffic Impact Study
The Traffic Impact Study prepared by Sernas Transtech was submitted in October
2008. The study was based on 461 low and medium density units. The study concluded
that access to the site is proposed via Boswell Drive, Brookhill Boulevard and Green
Road. The corresponding major intersections impacted by the development are
Highway 2 and .Boswell Drive, Highway 2 and Green Road, and the intersection of
Green Road. at Brookhill Boulevard. The site will generate a total of 323 vehicle trips
during the a.m peak hour with 69 inbound and 254 outbound trips. With full
implementation of proposed roadway improvements, including those to accommodate
background traffic (existing traffic and retail and residential development with a 2018
time horizon), the introduction of traffic from the proposed residential development can
be adequately accommodated by the abutting street system and proposed site access
arrangements.
Staff reviewed the Traffic Impact Study and did not agree with some of the assumptions
made for the timing of the planned road improvements. As such, Staff requested that at
"Unified Traffic Study' be prepared to look at timing for the implementation of the road
infrastructure for the entire Brookhill Neighbourhood, including Brookhill Boulevard,
Clarington Boulevard and Longworth Avenue as well as the supporting grid network
outside of the neighbourhood.
The more comprehensive "Unified Traffic Study" has not been completed to date.
However, a number of road improvements have been reviewed and discussed with the
applicant and agents that go beyond the limits of the subdivision. This is discussed
further in Section 11 of this report and Attachment 7.
8.2 In accordance with the Brookhill Secondary Plan the applicants have submitted the
following studies/reports for Staffs review. These studies have been reviewed and must
be finalized prior to registration of the subdivision agreement:
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-09
PAGE 11
• Unified Traffic Study
• Internal Traffic Study
• Energy Conservation and Sustainability Plan
• Landscaping Plan
• Community Theme and Urban Design Implementation Plan; and
• Architectural Design Guidelines
9.0 PUBLIC NOTICE MEETING AND SUBMISSIONS
9.1 A second Public Meeting was held on December 1, 2008. No.member of the public
spoke in support or in opposition of the application. No written submissions have been
received.
9.2 One resident who resides on Maple Grove Road advised staff that he is concerned that
the development will impact wells on Maple Grove Road.
10.0 AGENCY COMMENTS
10.1 A number of agencies have been circulated the proposed plan of subdivision and
rezoning application:
10.2 The Clarington Emergency & Fire Services offers no objection provided that the rear
laneways comply with all previous indicated concerns i.e. width, parking, snow storage
turning radius, hydrant locations.
10.3 The comments from the Clarington Engineering Services Department are summarized
below:
• Although the ultimate alignment for Longworth Avenue has not been established nor
finalized through Block 273, the Municipality accepts the future road and lot
configuration it principle. Lands for the future construction of Longworth Avenue
extension .must be secured from the west limit of the proposed draft plan to the east
limits of the additional lands in which the owner has an interest east of Clarington
Boulevard.
• Development of the subject lands cannot proceed until such time as the Municipality
has approved the expenditure of funds for the provision of both the reconstruction of
Green Road from the north end of the existing urban section to the north limit of the
Plan of Proposed Subdivision (that portion abutting the proposed development) as
well as external works or services such as sidewalks and street illumination which
have been included in the Municipality's Development Charges By-law and deemed
necessary by the Director of Engineeing Services.
• 5.00 metre road widenings on the west and east side of Green Road are required to
be dedicated.
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-09
PAGE 12
• All rear lanes shall comply with the approved cross sections contained in the
Brookhill Secondary Plan. No underground services will be permitted in the rear
lanes with the exception of a local storm sewer.
• The future phasing of the draft plan will be restricted by the number of external
accesses that are available to the existing municipal road network. Full development
of the draft plan will require all external accesses to be constructed. The specific lots
available for building permit in any single phase of the development will be
determined at the engineering stage and at the discretion of the Director of
Engineering Services.
• The stormwater management facility located east of Green Road is not within the
limits of the draft plan. The lands assigned for the facility must be adequately sized
to provide the level of quality and quantity control required. The lands must be
secured prior to draft approval in a manner acceptable to the Director of
Engineering Services and the Municipality's Solicitor.
• Works will be required on private property to install a clean waterby-pass pipe and
transitional grading on the west boundary of the site. Permission from private
property owners must be obtained.
Parks Division
• The land provided for the neighbourhood park is less than the 5% of the land
proposed for the development or 1 hectare per 300 dwelling units, prescribed in the
Planning Act. Any under dedication of parkland within the limits of development will
be required to be provided on lands east of Green Road.
• The park is outside the Municipality's budget forecast of park development and as
such would need to be constructed entirely by the developer should the
development proceed in advance of Council approving the expenditure of funds for
the development of said park.
• Where a public sidewalk is within the park and in front the homes facing the park,
the homeowners will be responsible for snow clearing.
• Services in the park for the abutting residential lots will also need to come through
the park. Services through the park will be acceptable provided they are located
below grade and manhole lids or water valves are located between the park
sidewalk and the homes fronting the park.
10.4 The Region of Durham Planning Department provided comments in February 2005 and in
April 2009.
O>~cia/ Plan Conformity
The subject property is designated "Living Area" in the Durham Region Official Plan.
Lands within the "Living Area" designation shall be used predominantly for housing
purposes and shall be developed to incorporate the widest possible variety of housing
types and tenures. The application is in conformity with the Regional Official Plan.
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-09
PAGE 13
Provincial Policies and Delegated Review Responsibilities
Residential units are within close proximity to Green Road, a Type 'B' Arterial road and
therefore a noise report will be required.
The site characteristics indicated a high potential for the presence of archaeological
remains. An archaeological assessment was prepared and has been cleared by the
Ministry of Culture.
The subject lands are within proximity of Environmentally Sensitive Area and therefore an
Environmental Impact Study is required.
Regional Works advises that the site is within the Zone II Water Pressure District in the
Bowmanville Water Distribution System. Municipal water is available to the site by
extending a 400 mm watermain on Green Road from Stevens Road to the north of the
development. A 300 mm watermain will also be required along the proposed rights of way
to the north limit of the site with sufficient capacity for the development including fire
protection.
Municipal sanitary sewer services are available to the site on Green Road at Stevens
Road from an existing 450mm sanitary sewer. The sanitary sewer must be extended
northerly on Green Road to service the development.
Regional Works requested revisions to the Traffic Impact Study, the Internal Traffic Study
and Traffic Management Plan to address the impacts of the interim road network with the
planned external connections throughout each phase of development.
10.5 Central Lake Ontario Conservation provided comments and conditions of draft approval.
CLOC has advised that the. Brookhill Subwatershed Study identified an approved
stormwater management scheme for the overall area as well as environmental features
and restorative works which are to be undertaken. The proponents land holdings have
been separated into two phases of development. Phase 2 lands are subject to the
completion of a four season environmental impact study (EIS).
A two season EIS is being completed for the Phase 1 lands. This study is assessing
the Brookhill Tributary with regard to the recommendations and requirements of the
Brookhill Subwatershed Study.
The functional servicing report is generally acceptable. It is noted that the proposed
stormwater management facility is located off-site on other lands owned by the
applicant. Information must be submitted which outlines the ultimate design of the
facility including the required water quantity and quality controls for all lands draining to
the proposed facility. The details can be satisfactorily addressed through appropriate
conditions of draft approval. It should be noted that the design of the facility will also
have to be undertaken in accordance with the required restoration requirements to be
completed through the EIS being prepared for the Phase 1 portion of the subject
development.
The submitted tree preservation report has also been reviewed and found to be
acceptable. The proposed development adjacent to the significant woodland located to
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-09 PAGE 14
the west of the proposed subdivision will have to incorporate any setbacks from this
feature as required through the environmental impact studies currently underway.
10.6 The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board has advised that approximately 114
elementary school pupils and 49 secondary school students will be generated by the
proposed draft plan. However, the anticipated pupil yield from this draft plan, the Future
.Development Block and the medium/high density development to the south will depend on
the final unit count for these areas. The Board will accept the absence of a public
elementary site in this Draft Plan, provided the nearby public elementary school site
designated west of Clarington Boulevard and south of Longworth Avenue, be made
available in the first phase of development or when 850 building permits have been issued
in the Brookhill neighbourhood.
10.7 The Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic District School
Board has reviewed the applications and have advised that the proposed development
will be located within walking distances from St. Elizabeth Elementary School on
Longworth Avenue, St. Stephen's Secondary on Scugog .Road and Holy Family
Elementary School on Aspen Springs Road. Access for pedestrian walkers should be
taken into consideration from this residential area to the schools named above. In
addition, crosswalks at major streets should be implemented to ensure safe access
when crossing.
10.8 Enbridge Gas has offered no objection and provide conditions of the draft approval to
be placed in the subdivision agreement.
11.0 STAFF COMMENTS
11.1 The Neighbourhood Concept
11.1.1 The proposed draft plan of subdivision and rezoning application are located in the
Brookhill Neighbourhood of the Bowmanville Urban Area. On October 26 Council
approved modifications to Official Plan Amendment 60 (OPA 60). The amendment and
modifications were presented to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) uncontested earlier
that same day. The modifications approved by Council and presented to the OMB were
predominantly in response to the amendment filed by the applicant and subsequent
discussions and negotiations. The application filed by the applicant is considered to be
approved through the modifications to OPA 60 approved by Council. OPA 60
introduced policies in the Clarington Official Plan for the Brookhill Neighbourhood
Secondary Plan. The Brookhill Neighbourhood Secondary Plan was developed on the
basis of providing a compact accessible community. The road system within the
Brookhill neighbourhood is based on a grid network to provide for connectivity
throughout the neighbourhood, to the West Town Centre and the balance of
Bowmanville. Green Road, Clarington Boulevard and Regional Road 57 are the north-
south spines with Brookhill Boulevard and the extension of Longworth Avenue forming
the east-west connections. Internal streets form a smaller grid offering pedestrian
connections and options for vehicular travel.
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-09 PAGE 15
11.1.2 The central part of the neighbourhood, east of Green Road contains the majority of the
significant community facilities for the neighbourhood. The Brookhill Tributary is part of
the interconnected Greenlands System forming a central spine for the community which
is to be accessible and visible to residents. It links the natural features, a
neighbourhood park, on the east side; a parkette, on the west side; stormwater
management facilities, on both sides; and an elementary school site, also on the east
side within the neighbourhood. The Brookhill tributary, the community facilities and
portions of Clarington Boulevard and Brookhill Boulevard are located on lands owned by
1613881 Ontario Inc.
11.1.3 West Diamond lands occupy approximately one third of the neighbourhood .(south of
Longworth Ave.) but are planned to site over 45% of the total residential units. The
central parcel between Clarington Boulevard and Green Road is owned by a Metrus
company 1613811 Ontario Inc. It also comprises one third of the neighbourhood but
incorporates up to approximately 15% of the residential units. Most of the community
facilities, including the stormwater ponds servicing the West Diamond lands are located
on the 1613811 Ontario Inc. lands. In order to provide for the phased servicing of the
neighbourhood and ensure that certain facilities were built when required, a
Memorandum of Understanding. was developed as outlined in Section 11.3, below.
11.2 Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision
11.2.1 The draft plan of subdivision has been divided into two phases since the northerly
portion is adjacent to a Provincially Significant Wetland. This feature triggers an
Environmental Impact Study (EIS) required to determine limits of the features and
.appropriate buffers. The EIS for the PSW has commenced and is a four season study
not expected to be completed until late in the fall of 2010. Identifying the lands within
the limits of Block 273 as lands for future development, and subject to future
applications, allows the EIS to be completed while allowing an application to be
processed on the lands to the south.
11.2.2 The Neighbourhood Commons Area consists of a 0.8 hectare Neighbourhood
Commons Square (parkette), Block 270 and surrounding townhouse lots and smaller
single and semi-detached lots. The park size is less than the total parkland dedication
required under the Planning Act for this development. The balance of the parkland
dedication for this development is provided for on the lands outside of draft plan and
east of Green Road, in keeping with the Greeniands System. These lands are owned by
1613881 Ontario Inc. Through a separate agreement (Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU)), any under dedication of parkland required from the combined two parcels on
either side of Green Road will be provided as a cash contribution. The conditions of
draft approval require the Owner to pay for the construction of the park, Block 270,
should they wish to proceed in advance of Council approving funds for its development.
11.2.3 Within the proposed draft plan of subdivision, the grid pattern is interrupted, in keeping
with the Demonstration Plan, appended to the Secondary Plan, to discourage traffic
cutting through the neighbourhood between the future extension of Longworth Avenue
and the commercial development within the West Town Centre.
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-09 PAGE 16
11.2.4 This development is the first proposed plan of subdivision within Clarington containing
municipal rear lanes in accordance with the policies of the Brookhill Secondary Plan.
Lanes are used for vehicular access to the lots abutting the Neighbourhood Commons
Square (parkette) and Brookhill Boulevard. This allows for housing forms facing the
street without the appearances of garages and driveways. Housing on Brookhill
Boulevard will have rear lane access. These homes are mix of small lot singles, semi-
detached and townhouse units. The absence of garages and driveways will provide
more. opportunity for on-street parking and better urban design. It will also provide a
transition to the higher density development which will occur south of Brookhill
Boulevard.
11.2.5 The Neighbourhood Common Square has frontage on two streets and flanked to the
north and west by a mix of singles and semi-detached units which are access by a rear
lane. The twenty four (24) dwellings will have front doors facing onto the parkette. This
provides for a good interface with the parkette from an urban design point of view and is
efficient for the developer as no road is required. This layout is being considered here
on a trial basis.
11.2.6 The draft plan also provides for a mix of lot sizes to permit various housing forms.
Singles, semi-detached, semi-detached/links and townhouses are inter-dispersed
providing for a diverse streetscape. "Cap-end units" are proposed to provide a greater
number of small units with a more architecturally pleasing corner unit by placing the
garage facing the side street. This reduces the number of driveways on the other,
usually busier street. The amenity area for this unit is limited to a courtyard facing the
side street rather than a typical rear yard amenity area. Cap-end units will be in the form
of linked dwellings.

11.2.7 The Brookhill Secondary Plan contains policies for Environmental Sustainability and
Energy Conservation. As a condition of draft approval Players & West Diamond is
required to prepare an Environmental Sustainability Plan which identifies specific
measures on how this development will ensure the protection, conservation and
enhancement of air, water, and ecological features and functions, energy and other
resources including heritage resources. The report shall include the following:
• Energy conservation measures for new homes, such as the construction and
operation of new residential building to a minimum rating of 80 or more in
accordance with Natural Resources Canada "EnerGuide for New Houses" or
equivalent certification system;
• "Solar Ready' construction that allows for the future installation of solar panels in
each dwelling;
• Water conservation measures for new homes such as the Water Sense program or
equivalent program;
• Use of local and environmentally friendly materials or finishes in the dwellings;
• Construction waste management plan to optimize the use of buildings and reduce
waste generated; and
• The preparation of a `Green Initiative' hand-book on educating homeowners on the
maintenance and performance of the home and its effects on the community.
11.2.8 The zoning by-law amendment has been drafted to implement the proposed lotting
pattern as contained in Attachment 2. It includes provisions for units having frontage on
a public rear lane, as well as the proposed cap-end units. In order to provide additional
flexibility, many of the zones allow more than one form of housing with similar but
slightly different lot frontage and lot area requirements. In order to ensure the number of
units registered is consistent with the draft approved plan a new provision is proposed in
the attached by-law. After the zone symbol, in brackets with a letter "T" is a number
representing the maximum number units allowed in a particular zone boundary.
11.3 External Infrastructure and the Memorandum of Understanding
11.3.1 Through the Financial Impact Study completed in 2008 and the review of the subject
applications concerns with the need for external infrastructure to support this
development, as well as the Municipality's ability to control timing of the infrastructure
was .identified as an issue. The capital works for any neighbourhood are generally
outlined in the Development Charges Background Study. The specific timing of the
works depends on whether the required works have been scheduled in the
Municipality's capital budget and forecast. Consistent with the policies of the Official
Plan, staff negotiated with the landowners, phased dedication, timing and funding of
transportation infrastructure as well as community facilities required to support this
development. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was negotiated to address a
number of issues, their timing and financing. A summary of the MOU is contained in
Attachment 7.
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-09 PAGE 18
11.3.2 From a transportation perspective the recent announcement of the GO Train extension
to Bowmanville meant that the reconstruction of the Green Road underpass could not
proceed as initially planned. Without Green Road connecting traffic from the proposed
development to Baseline Road, Highway No. 2 was considered to be negatively
impacted by trips generated from this development. Staff worked with the applicant and
their consultants to find alternative road connections to disperse the traffic, and
minimize the impact on Hwy 2 as this proposal and the Brookhill neighbourhood
develop.
11.3.3 An agreement, MOU was negotiated dealing with a number of provisions and triggers
for the transfer of lands for sections and construction of; Prince William Boulevard from
its current terminus at Pethick Street to Regional Road 57, Brookhill Boulevard to
Clarington Boulevard, Clarington Boulevard northerly to Longworth Avenue, and
Longworth Avenue from the west limits of the subdivision to Clarington Boulevard. The
agreement provides for their construction and performance guarantee obligations of
Players, West Diamond and 1613881.
11.3.4 The proposed plan of subdivision provides fora 0.8 ha Neighbourhood Commons
Square (parkette) in the centre of the development. However, the neighbourhood park
and public elementary school for the Brookhill neighbourhood are located east of Green
Road. Currently there is no proposed plan of subdivision application on these lands. In
order to ensure that these facilities are available to serve the needs of the residents as
the Brookhill neighbourhood develops the MOU also contains triggers for the transfer of
the neighbourhood park east of the Brookhill Tributary, the parkette west of the tributary,
and temporary access, if necessary, to the neighbourhood park and abutting elementary
school. The agreement also provides triggers for the transfer of the Brookhill Tributary
lands and their required buffer to be identified through the Environmental Impact Study
currently underway.
11.3.5 The Brookhill Tributary lands between the Longworth Avenue extension and the
Regional Road 57 are being examined through the EIS. This part of the tributary
crosses lands owned by both William Tonno Construction Ltd, eastern portion abutting
Regional Road 57 and 1613881's lands, western portion abutting Green Road. A
Naturalization Plan will be prepared by Players West Diamond and 1613881 pursuant to
the Brookhill Secondary Plan. The MOU provides for the Municipality to have the option
to purchase the Brookhill Tributary lands on 1613881's lands south of the Longworth
Avenue extension. for a nominal consideration at a time selected by the Municipality
which is not earlier than the day on which approval of a draft plan of subdivision for part
of the 1613881 lands east of the Tributary is approved and 18 months after the Director
of Planning Services approves the relevant part of the EIS..
Players West Diamond and 1613881 will pay the Municipality $100,000 to be spent at
its discretion on the Tributary lands to implement recommendations of the Naturalization
Plan and/or the applicable EIS as finally approved. A portion of this may also be used
as a contribution for constructing a trail system.
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-09
PAGE 19
Provision is made in the MOU for the transfer of the Provincially Significant Wetlands
and required buffer on the Players and West Diamond lands to the Municipality for a
nominal consideration once the EIS for that area is complete.
11.3.6 Players, West Diamond and 1613881 Ontario Inc. own lands currently subject to a
mortgage in favour of the Royal.Bank of Canada. A Postponement Agreement between
the Royal Bank of Canada, Players and West Diamond and 1613881 Ontario Inc. has
been prepared and recommended for approval.
11.4 Tax Status
The Finance Department has advised that, as of drafting of this report, the taxes have
been paid on the subject lands.
12.0 CONCLUSIONS
12.1 The applications have been reviewed in consideration of the comments received from
area residents, the circulated agencies, the Region and Clarington Official Plan,
including the recent modifications to Amendment No. 60 to the Clarington Official Plan.
The applicants concur with the Conditions of Draft Approval. In consideration of the
comments contained in this report and subject to the execution of the Memorandum of
Understanding, Staff respectfully recommend that the application for Official Plan
Amendment be considered approved in the context of the modifications to OPA 60 and
the -file close, and that the OMB be requested to approve the proposed Plan of
Subdivision as contained on Attachment 2 subject to the Conditions of Draft Approval as

SUMMARY
Memorandum of Understanding
Between
Players Business Park Ltd., West Diamond Properties Inc. & 1613887 Ontario Inc.
(PW Group)
The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington
1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 Players Business Park Ltd. ("Players') and West Diamond Properties Inc. ("West
Diamond")together with a related company 1613881 Ontario Inc. ("1613881") own the
majority of the lands within the Brookhill neighbourhood south of the planned extension of
Longworth Avenue from Regional Road 57 to the west limit of the Players and West
Diamond lands identified in draft plan of subdivision S-C-2004-004. A public school site,
neighbourhood park, a neighbourhood parkette, the Brookhill Tributary open space, as
well as the west stormwater management pond, clean water channel and outfalls which.
accommodate the proposed plan of subdivision of Players and West Diamond (west of
Green Road) are located on lands owned by 1613881 (east of Green Road). In addition,
part of the land required for the planned extension of Brookhill Boulevard from Green
Road to Regional Road 57, part of the land required for the extension of Clarington
Boulevard to the planned extension of Longworth Avenue as well as part of the land
required for the Longworth Avenue extension are located on lands owned by 1613881.
1.2 A copy of the Infrastructure Plan showing these areas, facilities and roads is attached. It is
consistent with the Brookhill Secondary Plan as modified (OPA 60). It shows the inter-
relationship of the development of the lands in the Brookhill Neighbourhood both west and
east of Green Road and south of the planned Longworth Avenue extension.
1.3 Much of the infrastructure required by the Brookhill Neighbourhood Secondary Plan to
support the development of the Neighbourhood south of the planned extension of
Longworth Avenue is located between Green Road and the extension of Clarington
Boulevard on lands owned by 1613881. 1613881 has not applied for approval for a draft
plan of subdivision of any part of its lands as yet. As a result, the roads, Brookhill Tributary
open space areas, neighbourhood park, neighbourhood parkette, school site, west
stormwater pond, clean water channel and outfalls including necessary works for the
development of the lands west of Green Road cannot be dealt within as conditions of
approval of a draft plan of subdivision or subdivision agreement of the whole or part of the
lands owned by 1613881. However, the west stormwater pond, clean water channel and
outfalls are necessary. for the development of the Players and West Diamond lands
located west of Green Road as is the extension of Prince William Boulevard to Regional
Road 57. They will be provided for in the subdivision agreement respecting the lands west
of Green Road as external and stormwater management facilities and roads.
1.4. The Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") if approved by Council will be a contract
between the Municipality, Players, West Diamond and 1613881 which will control key
elements of the development of 1613881's lands related to development of the Players
and West Diamond lands on the west side of Green Road in order to achieve applicable
goals and objectives of the Brookhill Secondary Plan (Official Plan Amendment No. 60 as
modified) particularly those related to the provision of necessary supporting infrastructure.
A copy of the recommended MOU may be examined in the Planning Services
Department.
2.0 KEY ELEMENTS OF THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
2.1 Road Infrastructure
The MOU provides for the transfer of lands for the collector roads, (the Brookhill
Boulevard Extension and the Clarington Boulevard Extension) as well as the Type C
arterial road (Longworth Avenue Extension). It also provides for their construction and the
security that is to be deposited with the Municipality as a guarantee of the performance of
the obligations of Players, West Diamond and 1613881 (referred to collectively as the "PW
Group"). Further, the MOU provides for the transfer of land and construction of the
extension of Prince William Boulevard to Regional Road 57 in order to alleviate traffic
conditions at the intersections of Green Road, Clarington Boulevard and Regional Road
57 with Durham Highway No. 2 that otherwise could result from development of the
Players and West Diamond lands west of Green Road having regard to the delay in
constructing a grade separation at Green Road and the CPR tracks.
2.2 Brookhill Boutevard Extension
In the case of the Brookhill Boulevard Extension from Green Road to the east limit of the
lands owned by 1613881, the required land is to be transferred to the Municipality on or
prior to the registration of a plan of subdivision for the first phase of development of the
lands owned by Players and West Diamond west of Green Road. The construction of it at
the cost of the PW Group is to begin within 90 days following the occurrence of the Trigger
Date. The Trigger Date is 5 years following the earlier to occur of the registration on title of
any part of the draft plan of subdivision of the lands owned by Players and West Diamond
west of Green Road and the registration on title of the first plan of subdivision of any part
of the lands owned by 1613881 between Green Road and the westerly boundary of the
Brookhill Tributary lands. The PW Group is required to apply for an Authorization to
Commence Works within ninety days following the Trigger Date and to deposit a
performance guarantee with the Municipality. The Trigger Date will be extended one year
if a minimum of 500 building permits have not been issued on lands west of the Brookhill
Tributary including lands within the Players and West Diamond draft plan of .subdivision
and the residential lands west of Green Road and south of Brookhill Boulevard prior to the
occurrence of the 5 year Trigger Date. Any further extension will require an amendment to
the MOU. This complex formula provides reasonable protection to Player, West Diamond
and 1613881 in these uncertain economic times if economic conditions worsen. In the
circumstances, it is fair.
2.3 Clarington Boulevard Extension
The Clarington Boulevard Extension is proposed to straddle the east property line of the
lands owned by 1613881 north of the Brookhill Boulevard Extension to the Longworth
Avenue Extension with the result that half of the alignment will be on lands owned by
1613881 and half will be located on the lands owned by others to the east who are not
parties to the MOU. In the case of the portion of the Clarington Boulevard Extension
located on the lands owned by 1613881, lands for the required alignment (located
exclusively on 1613881's lands) are to be transferred to the Municipality in two sections.
The first section from the southerly boundary of 1613881's lands to the northerly boundary
of Brookhill Boulevard is to be transferred at the same time as the lands for the Brookhill
Boulevard Extension. The second section located on 1613881's lands from the Brookhill
Boulevard Extension to the Longworth Avenue Extension is to be transferred on or prior to
the registration of the first plan of subdivision of any part of 1613881's lands east of the
Brookhill Tributary lands. Construction of the portion of The Clarington Boulevard
Extension located on 1613881's Lands is related to the approval of a draft plan of
subdivision for any part of 1613881's lands located east of the Brookhill Tributary.
Provision is made for construction of it to be staged. Provision is also made for the
transfer of temporary easements for access and necessary services in the event that the
Clarington Boulevard Extension has not been constructed to reach the local street
abutting the neighbourhood park and school site in the south-west quadrant of the
Clarington Boulevard Extension and the Longworth Avenue Extension when the total
number of residential units existing or for which building permits have been issued in the
Brookhill Neighbourhood equals or exceeds 850.
2.4 Longworth Avenue Extension
In the case of the Longworth Avenue Extension from the westerly limit of the Players and
West Diamond lands to the easterly limit of 1613881's lands, the land required will be
transferred to the Municipality when the final alignment of the road has been determined
through the Environmental Impact Study ("EIS") process that is now under way, the
approval of plans of subdivision that include portions of the right-of-way; or through an
Environmental Assessment which the Municipality of Clarington will undertake at its cost
pursuant to the Environmental Assessment Act. The road will be constructed at the cost of
the PW Group following a notice given by the Director of Engineering Services following
consideration of a transportation analysis that he has determined that the Longworth
Avenue Extension and the Structure for the Brookhill Tributary crossing must be
constructed in order to deal effectively with traffic operations and/or safety issues
identified in the analysis. The Structure is to be constructed at the cost of the Municipality.
2.5 Prince William Boulevard Extension
Currently, Prince William Boulevard is constructed from Green Road to Pethick Street.
The MOU provides for its extension from Pethick Street to Regional Road 57. The land
required for the extension together with 0.3 metre reserves are to be transferred to the
Municipality on or prior to the registration on title of a plan of subdivision for the first phase
of development of the Players and West Diamond lands located west of Green Road. The
required land is owned by a numbered company which is a member of the Kaitlin Group.
Players and West Diamond are responsible to obtain the transfer to the Municipality and
for the cost of construction of the extension to a rural profile. The MOU provides that
Players and West Diamond will not permit the occupancy of any dwelling on their lands
west of Green Road that is within draft plan of subdivision S-C-2004-004 until the
extension is completed.
2.6 Parks and Onen Space
The neighbourhood park and the neighbourhood parkette on the lands owned by 1613881
are to be transferred to the Municipality for a nominal consideration on or prior to the later
to occur of the registration of a plan of subdivision of any part of 1613881's land, ninety
days after the final approval of the EIS for the adjacent Brookhill Tributary lands, and
ninety days after the approval of the final alignment for the Longworth Avenue Extension
under the Environmental Assessment Act. A park development concept plan for the park
will be prepared by the PW Group. The cost of construction of the parkette and park will
be the responsibility of the Municipality.
The Brookhill Tributary lands between Regional Road 57 and the future Longworth
Avenue extension are being examined through the EIS. A Naturalization Plan will also be
prepared by the PW Group pursuant the Brookhill Secondary Plan. The MOU provides for
the Municipality to have the option to purchase the portion of the Brookhill Tributary
located on 1613881's lands south of the Longworth Avenue Extension for a nominal
consideration at a time selected by the Municipality. However, that time cannot be earlier
than the day which is twelve months after the day on which the final alignment of the
Longworth Avenue Extension is determined.
The PW Group will pay the Municipality $100,000 to be spent in its discretion on the
Brookhill Tributary lands to be transferred to the Municipality to implement
recommendations of the Naturalization Plan and/or the applicable EIS as finally approved.
Payment is to be made on or prior to the registration on title of a plan of subdivision for the
first phase of development of the Players and West Diamond lands west df Green Road.
Provision is made for the transfer of the Provincially Significant Wetlands and required
buffer on the Players and West Diamond lands north of the planned Longworth Avenue
Extension and west of Green Road to the Municipality for a nominal consideration when
the EIS is finally approved and the final alignment of the Longworth Avenue Extension has
been determined.
2.7 Other Matters
The MOU provides for its unwinding if the planning documents dealt with in this. Report are
not approved or enacted by the Ontario Municipal Board on or prior to March 31, 2010.
The MOU also contains a number of other provisions designed to protect the
Municipality's interests including a provision for the payment of the cash value of an
under-dedication of the land for park or other public recreational purposes which is to be
determined when the last draft plan of subdivision for the Players and West Diamond
lands (west of Green Road) and the last plan of subdivision for the portion of the 1613881-
s lands located east of Green Road and south of the northerly boundary of the. final
alignment of the Longworth Avenue Extension, are approved. If there has been an over-
dedication of land for park or other public recreational purposes, the cash value of the
over-dedication is to be paid by the Municipality to the PW Group. In either case, the
payment is to be made on registration of the first of the plans of subdivision to be
registered.
