2.0 BACKGROUND
Addendum to Report WD-74-97 was subntted to the General Purpose and
Administration Committee for consideration at its meeting on Monday, May 4, 1998.
The following resolution was passed:
"WHEREAS a concern has been raised by Mr. Laurie Hachey that his
property could be landlocked; and,
WHEREAS a concern has been raised pertaining to the allowable distance
from the railway tracks;
NOW THEREFORE be it resolved that the Addendum to Report WD-74-97
be tabled to the Council Meeting for May 11, 1998, pending the prepazation
of a report by staff to address these concerns."
Mr. Hachey is the owner of the property immediately north of the Preservation Sanctuary
Camp Club (P.S.C.C.) on the west side of Long Sault Road. Mr. Hachey was provided
with a copy of all reports and correspondence as the President and Spokesperson for the
P.S.C.C. and as an abutting property owner on Long Sault Road.
3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3.1 Recommendations in Addendum to Resort WD-74-97
In summary, Addendum to Report WD-74-97 recommended that staff proceed to
advertise a public meeting and prepaze the necessary by-law to open and assume the
portion of Long Sault Road from 1045 metres north of Regional Road 20 to the entrance
of the P.S.C.C., subject to the applicants satisfying all conditions of the Public Works
Department.
In correspondence dated Apri120, 1998 (Attachment No. 2) staff provided a copy of the
draft report to abutting owners and the applicants and solicited comments or objections
prior to the report being submitted for Council's consideration on May 4, 1998. No
REPORT NO.: ADDENDUM TO THE ADDENDUM TO REPORT WD-74-97 PAGE 3
objections were received from the applicants or abutting owners. An undated response,
signed by the applicants and endorsed by Mr. Hachey, President, "in favour of the road
being approved", was received, prior to the meeting of May 4, 1998 (Attachment No. 3).
3.2 Mr Hachey's Request to Extend Lona Sault Road North of the Preservation
Sanctuary Cama Club Entrance
Mr. Hachey informally approached Members of Council at the meeting of May 4, 1998,
to express his desire to have the extension of the road approved further north to provide
legal access to his personal property. Mr. Hachey expressed concern that his property
would now be landlocked and that he was the only properly south of the tracks that did
not have access to the proposed open road.
Firstly, Mr. Hachey's property presently has frontage onto a "seasonally" maintained
road (i.e, that portion of the road is graded twice per year, if requrred). The frontage
status of Mr. Hachey's property will not change as a result of the road being open to the
entrance to the P.S.C.C. Property is considered "landlocked" when there is no frontage
onto a public road allowance.
Secondly, Mr. Hachey expressed concern that if the road were opened only to the
entrance to the P.S.C.C., his property would now be the only property south of the tracks
for which a building permit could not be issued. This cannot be confirmed without a title
seazch and identification of property boundaries for the property on the east side of Long
Sault Road owned by the Walthers.
3.3 Recommendation to Proceed to Process the Aaplication Submitted by the Members
of the Preservation Sanctuary Camp Club
Members of the P.S.C.C. submitted their application and have agreed to pay the cost to
upgrade that portion of Long Sault Road to the entrance to the Club. The Public Works
Department circulated the application, obtained cost estimates based on the requirements
to bring that portion of the road to Municipal Standards and employed the Municipal
solicitor to provide a legal description for the purpose of the registration of the by-law.
REPORT NO.: ADDENDUM TO THE ADDENDUM TO REPORT WD-74-97 PAGE 4
In addition, staff met with abutting property owners and the St. Lawrence and Hudson
Railway (a Division of Canadian Pacific) based on the original application submitted.
Although the Walthers, abutting owners, were originally opposed to the application,
provided that the agreed upon actions were taken as stated in Section 2.2 of Addendum to
Report WD-74-97, the Walthers concurred with the proposal. The St. Lawrence and
Hudson Railway expressed concerns regazding maintenance of the level crossing but did
not oppose the opening of the road to the P.S.C.C. entrance.
In order to consider Mr.Hachey's request in conjunction with this application, i.e., to
change the northerly limit of the proposed extension, would require that the application
be circulated again to the abutting owners, particulazly the Walthers, and the Railway.
This would delay the opening of the road to the Club entrance and the opportunity to
complete the roadwork during the construction season. Mr. Hachey advised that he did
not wish for his request to delay the approval of the existing application.
3.3.1 Cost Implications of a Senarate A~lication
The costs of a sepazate application are unknown. Since the legal description has already
been prepazed, an additional cost would be assessed to change the description. The cost
to upgrade the road to Mr. Hachey's property would be based on the same cost estimates
per kilometre used to determine the cost for the existing application. Construction of the
"T" turnaround could be delayed until Mr. Hachey's application was considered.
3.3.2 Canadian Pacific Railwav
A new application would require comment from the Canadian Pacific Railway. From
discussions with the railway regazding the original application, the railway may wish to
reexamine their position since this would bring the open portion of the road closer to the
level crossing. Any prescribed improvements to the crossing would be directly assessed
to Mr. Hachey's application.
e
REPORT NO.: ADDENDUM TO THE ADDENDUM TO REPORT WD-74-97 PAGE 5
4.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The application to open and assume Long Sault Road was submitted by the Members of
the Preservation Sanctuary Camp Club and has been processed in accordance with the
Municipal Act and Municipal Policy. The applicants have agreed to pay the costs
associated with the improvements to the subject portion of the road. In light of the delay
that would be caused by dealing with Mr. Hachey's request in conjunction with the
application from the Club, it is concluded that it is reasonable to proceed to complete the
Club's application.
It is proposed that the advertisement will be placed in the local newspaper and the public
meeting will be scheduled for the Council Meeting of June 15, 1998. Provided there are
no objections, it is recommended that the appropriate by-law be passed at that meeting.
Following the passing of the by-law, the Public Works Department will proceed to
complete the prescribed improvements to the subject portion of Long Sault Road.
It is recommended that Mr. Hachey's request be submitted in writing and considered as a
separate application to be processed in accordance with Municipal Policy.

No. 2: Correspondence from Dennis Curtis, I{awartha Lakes Railway, dated February
25, 1998
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 On Monday, December 15, 1997, at a regulaz meeting of the General Purpose and
Administration Committee, Resolution #GPA-637-97 was passed which states:
"THAT the Director of Public Works hold a public meeting to respond to the request
of the Preservation Sanctuary Camp Club to assume and maintain the portion of bong
Sault Road (the road allowance between Lots 4 & 5, Concession 9, former Township
of Darlington) from 1045 metres north of Regional Road 20 to the entrance of the
Preservation Sanctuary Camp Club (P.S.C.C.), approximately 1500 metres (see
Attachment No. 2 to Report WD-74-97);
THAT Staff report back to Council;
THAT if Council decides to assume and maintain Long Sault Road northerly to the
Club entrance, the Preservation Sanctuary Camp Club be responsible for all costs
associated with the request, including the cost to upgrade that portion of the road to
Municipal Standards, legal and survey costs;"
2.2 Following the direction of Council, Public Works Staff held a meeting with the Walthers,
abutting owners who were originally opposed to the opening of the road, and their
solicitor, Mr. Tim Deeth. Concerns of the Walthers:
i) improvements by the Preservation Sanctuary Camp Club to the road resulted in the
driving surface of the road being off centre, i.e., closer to the east side of the road
allowance
~~~~
A
ADDENDUM TO REPORT NO.: WD-74-97 PAGE 3
ii) the ditch on the east side of the road has been eliminated
iii) hydro poles previously installed at the Walther's expense aze now too close to the
driving surface of the road
iv) the Municipality had erected a "No Exit" sign but, it is possible to drive a vehicle
fiuther north on the roadway
v) the construction of a turnazound will obstruct access to their property
vi) opposed to unauthorized work being performed on the road
vii) opposed to the zoning provisions for the Preservation Sanctuary Camp Club which
allow members to obtain building permits without access to an open road while their
property is zoned such that they must have access to an open maintained road.
2.3 Public Works staff, in response to the Walther's concerns, agreed the following actions
would be taken:
i) the Preservation Sanctuary Camp Club would be instructed to cease any further
works on the road allowance
ii) as part of the works required to upgrade the road to Municipal Standards, the
travelled portion of the road will be moved to approximately the centre of the road
allowance and the ditch on the east side will be restored
iii) the relocation of the travelled portion of the road to the middle of the road allowance
will result in a lazger separation between the hydro poles and vehicular traffic
iv) the "No Exit" sign will remain since it is effective in deterring unfamiliar drivers
from using the seasonally maintained portion of Long Sault Road
v) it was agreed that a "T" turnaround would be constructed at the Preservation
Sanctuary Camp Club entrance and the "T" will be built on the road allowance, 400
metres south of the railway tracks
vi) at the meeting, staff agreed that no fiurther unauthorized work would be permitted
vii) the present caning is in place and the public process was followed.

2.6 Response Received from Abutting Property Owners Regarding Addendum to
Report WD-74-97
i) One abutting owner, Mr. Johnston, called to support the opening of the road.
ii) The Walther's have confirmed they aze not opposed to the opening of the subject
road, provided the actions noted in Section 2.3 of this report are completed as stated.
Both Mr. Johnston and the Walthers were assured that the seasonal road beyond the camp
entrance would not be closed and that the standard of summer maintenance (graded twice per
yeaz) would continue.
2.7 Cost to Upgrade the Road to Municipal Standards
Originally, the cost estimate to upgrade the road was $3,000. Upon receipt of the current
costs for High Float, relocation of the road centreline and construction of an acceptable
tumazound, the cost to upgrade the road is approximately $10,000. The owners of the
Preservation Sanctuary Camp Club, through their spokesperson, Mr. Hachey, have been
advised and agreed to pay to upgrade the road plus all costs.
3.0 CONCLUSION

2.0 BACRGROIIND
The Members of the Preservation Sanctuary Camp Club submitted
a request that the Municipality assume and maintain Long Sault
Road northerly to the entrance to their Club (Attachment
No. 2).
3.0 COMMENTS
3.1 Status of Long Sault Road
As can be seen from Attachment No. 1, Long Sault Road from
Regional Road 20 northerly approximately 1045 metres is an
open maintained road. From approximately 1045 metres north of
Regional Road 20 to the Boundary Road, Long Sault Road is an
unopened, unimproved road which receives a standard of
maintenance consistent with a Summer Maintained Road, i.e., it
is graded twice annually and, if necessary, gravel may be
added. The Public Works Department does not provide winter
maintenance beyond the point 1045 metres north of Regional
Road 20, however, Members of the P.S.C.C. have been plowing
the snow, without authoz~izatinn,_ on the unimproved portion of
the road in order to maintain access to the site.
1112
{
R1'sPORT NO.: WD-74-97
PAGE 3
3.2 Condition of Lona Sault Road
The improved portion of Long Sault Road is surface treated.
The unimproved portion is sand and gravel and the condition of
this section of the road is good. The Members of the
Preservation Sanctuary Camp Club, in order to maintain year
round access to their property, have made unauthorized
improvements to that section of the road. The road also has
a very good base due to the fact that the soil conditions in
the area consist of stable, well draining soil.
3.3 Improvements Reouired to Improve the Road to a Municipal
Standard
This section of the road will require minor grading, placement
of some gravel, construction of a turn around at the proposed
termination of the road and an application of surface
treatment.
3.4 Estimated Cost to Improve the Road to a Municipal Standard
It is estimated that the cost to improve this section of road
to a Municipal Standard is $3,000.
t.. 3.5 Notification to Abuttina Property Owners and St Lawrence &
c" Hudson Railway (a Division of C P R )
'' Abutting property owners were notified by correspondence dated
~- October 22, 1997 (Attachment No. 3). The owners were
requested to complete a page stating if they were in favour of
;_ or opposed to the proposal. To date, three responses have
_ been received; one property owner, Mr. Walther, is opposed
<_ (Attachment No. 4) and two are in favour.
It should be noted that responses were requested by mail and
may be delayed due to the strike at the Post Office which is
currently in progress.
M - 1113
REPORT NO.: WD-74-97
PAGE 4 '
The St. Lawrence & Hudson Railway was also notified of this
proposal due to the fact that there is a level crossing just
north of the proposed termination of the road. In 1988, there
was a fatality at this location and the railway authority
expressed safety concerns at that time. Certain improvements
were made, however, since the road was considered unimproved,.
the changes were minimal. A response has not been received
from the Railway Authority at this time.
3.6 History of The Preservation Sanctuary Camp Club (P.S,C.C.)
The site consists of residences which are mobile homes, one
house, club house, picnic shelter-and a pool. The existence
of the P.S.C.C. predates the 1984 Comprehensive Zoning By-law.
Prior to 1984, the lands in question were classified as a
Tourist Camp. This use was recognized as having an exemption
from having frontage on an improved public street, maintained
year round. Following Council approval of the current by-law
in 1984, the lands in question were then classified as a
Private Club. Nothing in the current By-law under the
definition of a private club would prohibit its use on a full-
time basis, versus seasonal use. A number of building permits
have been issued (approx. 12) since 1991, for additions to
existing trailers, and more recently, for accessory buildings
to the residential use. The tourist camp has access via the
unimproved road allowance (Long Sault Road) that has received
a limited amount of service/maintenance over the years. As
the building permits were for additions to existing units and
the "private club" definition does not indicate seasonal
usage, the permits were cleared by the Planning Department and
issued through the Building Division.
3.7 Resoonsibility to Provide Emergency Services
During the 1996/97 Winter Season, occupants of the P.S.C.C.
were unable to leave the site for three days during a storm.
The Members of the P.S.C.C. are concerned that in the event of
1114
RSPORT NO.: WD-74-97
PAGE 5
a medical or fire emergency, equipment would have difficulty
reaching the site. This could also result in a liability
issue for the Municipality.
3.8 Municipal Policv RecrardincT the Construction of Unopened or
Unimproved Roads
By-law 84-27, Schedule "A", in summary, states that
construction of an unopened or unimproved road will be
performed only at the expense of others etc.
4.0 LSGAL REQIIIREMENTS IINDSR THS MIINICIPAL ACT
4.1 To change the status of the road to an Improved Road it is
necessary to hold a public meeting and to pass a by-law.
Since not all of the abutting property owners are in favour of
this proposal, it is recommended that the Director of Public
Works or his designate meet with the property owners who are
opposed and attempt to resolve their concerns. Following such
a meeting, the Director of Public Works will report back to
Council with the results of the meeting with the property
owners and a recommendation regarding the assumption of the
road.

RE: PROPOSAL TO IMPROVE LONG SAIILT
PRESERVATION SANCTIIARY CAMP CL
This is t
ROAD TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE
IIB AT 10126 LONG SAULT ROAD
o advise you that the members of the Preservation
Sanctuazy Camp Club have submitted a request that the Municipality
assume and dedicate the portion of Long Sault Road from 1045 metres
north of Regional Road 20 to the entrance to the Club as shown on
Attachment No. 1. The Public Works Department is considering this
request and each property owner in~the azea is being contacted to
determine their interest in this proposal. The St. Lawrence and
Hudson Railway Division of Canadian Pacific Railway, who have
jurisdiction at the crossing just north of the Club entrance, have
been requested to comment on the proposal. When the comments are
available from the Railway and the property owners in the area, a
report with recommendations will be submitted for Council's
consideration.
The subject portion of Long Sault Road will be improved to
Municipal Standazds prior to being assumed-by the Municipality.
The proposed improvements include grading, some minor ditching and
the construction of a turnaround at the entrance to the Club where
the road will terminate. A high float treatment will be applied in
the spring which will result in a hard top surface. If Council
approves the assumption of the road, the Municipality will complete
the grading and commence annual routine maintenance this fall. The
Traffic volumes aze not expected to change as a result of these
improvements.

Administrative Assistant to the

at
Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington

Dear Janet O'Neill:
I have a number of concerns regarding the proposal by the Preservation Sanctuary
Camp Club that I would like to bring them to the attention of you and the Director
of Public Works.
Regarding the Identification of the property on Attachment No. 2, our property is
Lot 4, Concession 10, not 9. (I hope this error does not nullify our opposition of this
proposal by the Preservation Sanctuary Camp Club.)
In September or October, 1992, my son Bernd Walther contacted the Municipality
of Clarington on our behalf to express some concerns regarding the activity of the
members of the Preservation Sanctuary Camp Club. These were that someone
from the "Camp Club" was methodically widen,_ng and leveling the road from a
single track approx. 3 m (10 ftJ wide to the present distance of 7 m (25 ft.), starting
approx. 500 m from the maintained portion and ending at the entrance to the
"Club". This widening was occurring in the direction of Lot 4.
We had approached the Club President and asked for an~explanation; he indicated
that all they were doing was leveling out the road for their members and were
maintaining it for the Municipality by adding gravel and signs. It was disturbing to
me that the municipality maintenance crew had contoured our property to blend in
with the Club's widening of the road I then contacted Janet O'Neill at the
municipality.
Our concern was that after a period of time this mad movement would become
permanent and the Club would maintain their road allowance; however, we would
lose, because of the widening, a significant amount of land In addition we feel that
the widelllIIg of the road has created a safety factor in that the mad runs within a
foot of a number of hydro-posts which were placed on our land.

In his conversation with you, my son was informed that the municipality was :
grading the road twice a yeaz which is the usual practice. You also indicated that
the Club has only 11 members residing on that property He informed you that
the Club now maintains yearly access and that the membership seems to have
increased Oriel pally all dwellings on the Clubs property were trailers (with
wheels attached ). This has now changed to permanent homes, including an in-
ground swimming pool. You indicated surprise and said that you would pass this
information on and you would look into this. Our son received a phone call from a
Mr. Patterson, supervisor of operations, who wanted some additional information
regarding our concern's, he indicated that he would call back in a week
When he did, he informed my son that he had rescraped the road and took off some
topsoil on the Clubs road allowance, and that he would inform the road crew to
scrape the mad only twice a year.
Since then n0 major wldeIIl.IIg has occurred except In the last 500 m past the
entrance of the Club, towards the CPR tracks.
Our main opposition to this proposal is that with the widening of the mad by the
Club more property of lot 4 will be lost for the turnaround.
My objections to the turnaround aze as follows:
1. This is a through road; tl?AT'P iQ an Pxi unlike the sign indicates.
2. The entrance to our property is approx. 100 m past the entrance
of the Preservation Sanctuary Camp Club, and if the road
"tP***+;nates" as you indicated by your letter, what happens to our
entrance and the access to properties past the railway tracks
and country road beyond? Lot 4 was purchased originally from the
same person in two parcels. The top portions runs parallel with the
Club, approx. 40 acres; the bottom parcel starts at our present
. entrance and extends to the Railway tracks, approx. 26 acres with
the "termination" of the mad at the Clubs entrance, this then would
- cut off access to the 26 acres.
3. Your Ietter also indicates that there will be some "minor ditching";
all ditching along our property, Lot 4, was covered and removed
by the widening of the mad by the members of the Club.
4. If this turnaround is put into place, the traffic will increase in that
people who would before drive through now will turn around and
' retrace their steps, doubling traffic.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact my son
Berad at (907) 73I-1731
I would like to be informed as soon as possible of the decision of the Council
regarding the outcome in case I wish to take further action.
Respectfully,
,~J
