"CARRIED" 0 PRESENTATION Lennis Trotter, Co-Chairman, Kids' Safety Village of Durham Region and Tim Calhoun, Firefighter, made a presentation to Council regarding Kids' Safety Village of Durham Region. Mr. Trotter indicated that the Optimist Club of Ajax and the Rotary Club of Oshawa Parkwood, in conjunction with the Durham Regional Police, are working to build this innovative educational concept. The Kids' Safety Village will be a miniature village used to teach safety and awareness to over 15,000 elementary school children in Durham Region each year. The site for the village, Highway 401 and Highway 12 in Whitby, was donated by the Durham Board of Education, however, the facility is also available to the school board serving Clarington. Mr. Trotter showed a brief video demonstrating the effectiveness of the safety village and requested that the Council of the Municipality of Clarington donate $5,000 toward the project. He indicated that one-half of the donation would be utilized for the building of a miniature firehall. Council Minutes DELEGATIONS - 2 - January 16, 1995 Harold Hammond appeared on behalf of Trinity United Church, 116 Church Street, Bowmanville, L1C 1T2, with respect to the parking facilities in the area of the church. He indicated that over the past two years a major:e~ansion has been going on at the church which has greatly benefitted the community. Presently parking difficulties are being experienced during the mid-week daytime hours and the future parking ban on Church Street will impact even more greatly on the church during special functions i.e., weddings and funerals. Mr. Hammond indicated that in 1934, property that the church held for parking was deeded to the Town, provided the property was used for similar uses. If the use was to change, the church was to be advised of such change. Since that time, two significant changes have taken place. In 1967 the police, fire and court building was erected and more recently the parking lot has been changed to a private parking lot for municipal employees. When these two changes were made, the church was not given notice as was specified in the deed. Mr. Hammond requested that Council reconsider banning the parking on Church Street from George Street to Division Street or revert some of the spaces in the municipal employee parking lot back to public parking. Bob Schickedanz, 3311 Bayview Avenue, Suite 105, Willowdale, M2K 1G4, addressed Council with respect to Report PD-1-94 (Item #2 of Report #1). Mr. Schickedanz indicated that the intersection of Liberty. Street/Meadow Boulevard/Street'B' as detailed in the report, can be accommodated without the purchase of road widenings at the northeast and southwest quadrants of the intersection. He requested that Section 19(c) of the conditions of approval of final plan registration be modified to accommodate the plans. Robert Cowle, 2682 Prestonvale Road, Courtice, L1E 2R9, questioned Council regarding snow clearing on municipal sidewalks in this area as there arc no boulevards located along the roadways. Mr. Cbwle also requested that stop signs be erected at the intersection of Prestonvale Road and Robert Adams Drive and Prestonvale Road and Claret Road as the road is now becoming a heavily travelled, fast moving area. Hugh Neill, 2111 Prestonvale Road, Courtice, L1E ZS2, advised Council that he totally agrees with Mr. Cowle's comments and indicated that lately he has noticed an increase in the traffic flow along Prestonvale Road. Mr. Neill requested that a stop sign be erected at the intersection of Glenabbey Drive and Prestonvale Road. John Veldhuis, P.O. Box 16, Hampton, LOB 1J0, presented an update of the activities of the Community Liaison Group. Mr. Veldhuis thanked Council for the resolution of November 21, 1994, and indicated that Deep River has now decided to continue as a potential host community. Also, Port Hope has come forward as another potential volunteer community. The Clarington CLG has completed many studies which are now available for perusal. Mr. Veldhuis indicated that the CLG has always recommended that the material left behind at the Port Granby site contain between 11 and 17 parts per million of arsenic. The Siting Task Force has now asked the CLG to consider a ratio of 30 parts per million and Mr. Veldhuis requested Council's direction in this matter. t~ t Council Minutes RECESS -3- January 16, 1995 Resolution #C-2-95 Moved by Councillor Dreslinski, seconded by Councillor Hannah THAT Council recess for 15 minutes.

Tha Counc3~, as indicated in our previous communications, was established following the Province's decision to commit re;-oureos to a comprehensive telecommunications stratagy for Ontario. AlviO applied to ONIP to secure funding for up to SO per cent of the cost of establishing Egad oiler .sting a municipal ~' network for the first threo years of its oparation. The proposal was suppotrtod bq hundrodd: of mumripalitiea aaoaa Olstario. ~~ ONlP Cowadl Assessment: While the OI1IP Council recognizes that affordable access to a comprchtussive eommunicatiCa; aad information service fo:r ALL municipal governmeats in Ontario is needed, there was a coacarn that the network proposed by AMA did not m.slce sufficient use of infrastructuto that was either already in place or which was being established through OrfIP funding to other organizations. The wunpl also expressed concerns about the shCer magnitude of thy; project and the ability of the sector to support it. a: a result, the Councfi has "turned batal~' the A1Vr0 p~rapossl. the AASOddio~ to bring forward a pmpasal wlsich requires a oonaiderably 1A31allGr up-front comrnitmd~ of ONIp' AMO's Response: Whila there may a substantial level of communications infrastructure already in place within the matrapolitan areas of O.atario, outside of those areas available sorviees are limited, Other initiativoa by freenet or~;anizations, municipalities, ec!ls;cational institutions and othCrs, may provide excellent local services, but do not provide tltermunicipal connectivity beyond their own boundaries. These local actworks provide. key coanectivity points for the :proposed AMO initiative, yet they should not be raistakcn for a comprehensive Ontario wide municipal network infrastrl~cture. Hundreds of other municipalities in Ontario will receive no benafits whatsoever from these initiatives. With regard to the municipal sector's ability to support the network, it has always been thc• intention to establish tho nt:twork is phases, so that expenditures are only mad.c where local demand warrants. _~ _. JAN-13-'90 12:20 ID:AMO TEL N0: 416929?574 t#909 F02 MuniceMl Alert - Mw>ucipal Network fat tJatario: AMO ApldiCa fa ONIP Pleading Nextt Steps 1) jiov3sed ONIP Propasat F'oliowing discussions with senior ONIP staff, AMO is preparing a revised notice of intent, to be considered at the ~~CCtiug of the ONIP Council. The proposal will request that OMP provide a small poetics of the >~tnding c y requested, to enable AMO to conduct a number of pilot studies in selected municipalities. The pilou will be used to examine system design and usage and to develop key software applications. Spcc~fieally, the pilot studies vnll be used to: , demonstrate that the concxpQt is sound; d4v41op working models of intorconnectivity with other local networks is the region[, counties and districts (eg, tagioas' Own LANs, school boards, frernets, etc.); cltfwe local commun[cation interests and needs is more detail (tg. linkages among al! municipalities is oac region, county or district for thou specific Communication needs versus with the rest of the province); , establish a morn spocafic definition of provL~ce-wide needs (eg. muaictpal assaclationati to their members and MMA to muaicipahdes); develop a financial model for the cstablishmcnt of regional hubs based on both existing and new infrastructure; and . eonsolldate partnerships with various private, public and non-profit sector interests. 7`he proposal will also request that, assuming the piluC studies are successful, the Province fund tht expansion of the network to the nauiiader of the province. While they were not able to offer any certainty with regard to the (:ouneil's likely decision rts8ardi~ sorb a proposal, ONIP staff did indicate that they feltquite strongly that the (:oundl would look vary favourab on this type of phased approach. If we arc successful in. aequiriag approval for AMP funding, the Province would fund up to 50 per cent of the cost of establishing and aperatiag the phased-ia Network for the first throe years. 2) l3egtn Roll-0ttt of Pilot Studies While AMO has not yet bean ably to secure ONII~ funding, we have establishod pastnerships vcnth a variety of other Fablic, private and non-pprofit sector interests which have expressed thou willingness to ar.mmit resourcxa to the dovelo~ment of a munidpal network. Should the Assodation not move forward with the network, some of those commitments may fall through. AMO is therefore considering the option of moving forward with the pilot studies f~ior to receiving approval of ONIP funding. If this appprroach is deemed to be advisable, given the extent of private sector participation in the project, the oust to niunidpalities chosen for the pilot studies will be substantially less than would be the case i1' municipalities ware to establish a network on their own. Even so, the selected uiumcipalitics will be asked to mak.r, a significant ftnanaal eontribudon towards their portion of network, witb the understanding that a Large portion of that commitment could yltimately be offset by ONIP funding. As a result, willingness to make tho necessary fiaan~zial coatributioa wUl be a key factor in selecting municipalities to participate is the pilot studies. 7'he cost of the system to other participating municipalities will be known as soon as a working model is established lased on the subset of municipalities participating in the Phase I of the project development. preFraring for the mature: basic Technological Requirements Eves though the im lementation of this initiative is stfil a few months away, tcleCOmputing is ncd: an idea that will fade vvlth drat.

ITY dF CLARINGTON ~J;AYGR'S L'i=fiICE I-4 777, rue Bay Toronto (Ontario) M6G 2E6 (4161685-7000 The government's land-use planning reform and open local government legislation -- Bill 163 -- was passed on November 28. I am pleased to provide you with a copy of Ontario's New Planning System, a publication outlining the philosophy behind the new legislation and its major features. The new planning system gives municipalities more control over local land-use matters, strengthens environmental protection, and cuts red tape in the planning process. The legislation also provides for more open and accountable local government. Ministry staff, along with the Advisory Task Force on Implementation, Technical Committee and Rural Table that are helping us implement the planning reforms, are working toward proclamation dates early in the new year. The new Ontario Planning and Development Act (OPDA) and the open meeting and disposal of real property provisions were proclaimed January 1, 1995; and are now in effect. The new OPDA, a small part of the planning reform package, allows the province to prepare development plans in specific areas. Our current workplan would see the Planning Act amendments proclaimed March 1, at which point the policy statements and related regulations would also come into effect. The disclosure of interest provisions would be proclaimed April 15. If circumstances change, proclamation could occur sooner. If you have questions about the new law, please call your nearest Ministry of Municipal Affairs Regional.Office (please see the back of this letter for locations and telephone numbers) or call (416) 585-7041. Copies of the legislation are available from Publications Ontario at 50 Grosvenor St., Toronto, M7A 1N8, or by calling 326-5300 in Toronto or 1-800-668-9938 from outside the local Toronto calling area. /2 n -2- Bill 163 is the result of a long and thoroug#~ consensus-building process. I have enjoyed working with the many groups, organizations and interested individuals as the law was developed. I look forward to working with those same groups, organizations and people as we implement these changes together. sincerely, __ _ ~' ~ ~ ~ p"l t~l'~ ,: . '~ .`"} .

But because planning must achieve a balance between these traditionally competing interests, the previous land use planning system evolved into a difficult, complex and complicated system that held back millions of dollars of viable and environ- mentally sound development projects. Ontario has reformed this system, putting forward a fundamentally different vision of how the planning system should work, based on the extensive work of the Commission on Planning and Development Reform. Some changes strengthen the local planning role, others strengthen environmen- tal protection, others will open local government decision-making and others will streamline the planning approvals process. The planning reform legislation, The Planning and Municipal Statute Law Amendment Act 1994, was given Royal Assent on December 8, 1994. It will be proclaimed in stages early in 1995. The new system is led by policy. The era of "let's make a deal" development decisions is over. The province will set policy through policy statements and may establish provincial plans under the Ontario Planning and Development Act. Municipalities and planning boards will set policy through their official plans consistent with the provincial policies and/or plans. _ The following background paper covers key changes the government intro- duced. It discusses the reforms in terms of three different categories or topics: empowering municipalities, protecting the environment, and streamlining the planning process. Decisions around appropriate land use in Ontario have often been controversial. These reforms do not eliminate those controversies. But what they do is provide a new planning landscape where decisions are driven by policy, rather than by reac- tions to development proposals. The larger objective of these reforms is to create a planning process that meets the needs of the community, the economy, and the environment. In the new system, planning decision-makers will take into account different visions and interests for the broader public good. t ~~ Ontario's New Planning System This is a difficult task but worthy of the struggle. Ultimately, the success of these planning reforms rests not only with the legislation and the policy statements, but with the thousands of people involved in the planning process. These include politi- cians and staff in municipal planning departments and committees, provincial civil servants, the development industry, environmentalists, community groups, land owners, the public, planning consultants and lawyers. To make sure that all those who use the planning system have the information they need, the province is undertaking a major education and training strategy. This strategy will continue as the new system is being implemented. In the long-term the province will have a strong advisory role. With this new framework now in place, and the good will and dedication of people involved in the planning system, there will be new and exciting advances in land use planning that will benefit everyone in Ontario.

This led to frustrating, endless delays and rising costs for developers. The new legislation to reform the planning and development system in Ontario addresses this problem by giving municipalities greater local control over the develop- ment process. It is based on the belief that planning the development of Ontario's cities, towns and rural areas can best be accomplished by the people who live there. Roles and Responsibilities The new legislation establishes specific roles and responsibilities for the province and for upper-tier and lower-tier municipalities, helping to eliminate inconsisten- cies and unnecessary duplication. Within the reformed framework, the provincial government sets policy, municipal governments make development decisions, and the Ontario Municipal Board adjudicates disputes. Provincial Role In the previous planning process, with the exception of approvals for consents and development control tools for matters such as zoning and site plans, all planning authority rested with the province, unless delegated to municipalities. Under the new planning system, regional governments and cities outside,regions are respon- Bible for development approvals, and most regions are also responsible for approv- ing the official plans of their local municipalities. The new provincial role is to establish the policies that guide provincial and municipal planning. This will be done through a comprehensive set of policy state- ments, and may also include the adoption of area-specific policy statements or provincial plans that address broad inter-municipal planning issues. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs will now coordinate land use interests across provincial ministries (Ministry of Natural Resources, Ministry of the Environment and Energy, Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Recreation, etc.) and approve all upper-tier municipal plans. The provision that allowed Cabinet to review and change certain official plan and zoning decisions of the Ontario Municipal Board has been dropped. While provincial staff will continue to participate in OMB hearings, the decision by the board will be final. It is the position of the Province that such a provision is not consistent with municipal empowerment. • Ontario's New Pla nning System Municipal Role In'the past, the Planning Act did not require municipalities to have an official plan. The new legislation requires that all regions, prescribed counties, separated munici- palities, cities in Northern Ontario, and planning boards and municipal planning authorities prepare an Official Plan. Once these plans are in place, municipalities will have the power to approve development without further approval by the provincial government. The Ministry • of Municipal Affairs will assist plan development, wherever possible, and in recogni- tion of the diversity of municipalities across Ontario, allow for adequate time to prepare plans that are consistent with provincial policies. A new "purpose" section of the Planning Act specifically recognizes the decision making role of municipalities under the Act. Specific municipal roles and responsibilities are provided under the Planning Act. The delegation of these roles and responsibilities will recognize the various munici- pal structures and capabilities across Ontario. Regions (outside Metropolitan Toronto) • must prepare an official plan; • regions with atwo-tier planning structure and the Region of Haldimand-Norfolk are assigned the power to approve official plans and plan amendments (if any) submitted by the local municipalities and may delegate this power to a committee of council or an apppointed staff. • approve subdivisions, condominiums and consents (may delegate this. role to a committee of council, to an appointed staff or to the council of the lower tier). Metropolitan Toronto • The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto must prepare an official plan. • The province approves.official plans and plan amendments of Metro Toronto and its lower-tier municipalities. Counties • must prepare an official plan within a scheduled timeframe where required by regulation; • with an official plan approved under the new Act will be designated as the approval authority with the power to approve subdivision and condominium applications if they request it. • may be delegated approval power for local official plans and amendments. • lower tiers may be delegated the power to approve subdivisions/condominiums. i • Ontario's New Planning System Separated municipalities and cities in Northern Ontario • must prepare an official plan for provincial approval; • approve subdivisions, condominiums and consents; . administer development control tools (zoning, site plan, etc.). • may pass by-laws on tree removal (if they have a population of 10,000 or more), • and on site alterations. Local municipalities within regions and counties • may be delegated the power to approve subdivisions, condominiums and consents • may prepare official plans • may pass zoning by-laws • may pass by-laws on tree removal (if they have a population of 10,000 or more), and on site alterations. Planning Boards in Northern Ontario • must prepare an official plan for provincial approval; • may be delegated the authority to approve plans of subdivisions, condominiums and consents; • have authority to zone land. Municipal Planning Authorities (MPA) This new provision in the legislation is in response to requests from municipalities which wish to form alternate planning arrangements. It enables the Minister of Municipal Affairs, on request of the affected municipalities, and in consultation with the affected county or counties, to form a municipal planning authority. Representa- tion on the MPA would be based on the population and the municipalities within the MPA would be exempt from county planning levies. A municipal planning authority: • must prepare an official plan; ~. may be delegated the power to approve subdivisions, condominiums j and consents; • may subdelegate the power to approve subdivisions, condominiums and consents to staff of the MPA or a committee of the MPA. 5' • Ontario's New Planning System Open Local Government With greater responsibility and flexibility in planning delegated to local government, it is essential that local accountability also be strengthened. A package of reforms called "Open Local Government" makes local government representatives more accountable, through legislative changes regarding conflict of interest, open meetings and disposal of property. The Open Local Government reforms make the local decision-making process more transparent and local decision-makers more accountable, by: • requiring that meetings be held in public and that councils put procedural by-laws in place to direct how they will conduct their business. Only a limited number of concerns, such as property acquisition, personnel matters and litigation, are acceptable for discussion without the public present, and any final decisions must be made in an open public meeting. • requiring municipalities to maintain an inventory of their properties, declare when any lands are surplus to their needs, obtain an appraisal, and follow a procedural by-law for disposing of such surplus properties. • restricting the acceptance of gifts and benefits, as well as the use. of insider information. • requiring local elected representatives to disclose limited and specific personal financial information under the I-ocal Government Disclosure of Interest Act. Members need not reveal any values in their disclosure. The disclosures are open to the public and subject to an annual update. This is similar to the disclosure required of members of the provincial legislature. • removing from the individual the burden of having to bring legal action under the I ocal Government Disclosure of Interest Act, through the appointment of a Local Disclosure Commissioner who can investigate and initiate legal proceed- ings if appropriate. Conclusion The province has recognized that there must be local control over planning in On- tario. The new legislation on planning reforms represents a recognition that planning is a partnership between municipalities and the province. It is also a recognition that Ontario municipalities have the capabilities and the strengths to plan well. Ontario ' s New Planning S y s t e m Protecting the Entiironment Introduction During the public consultation carried out by the Commission on Planning and Development Reform, strong voices were raised across Ontario on the need for effective policies for protecting our natural environment. Through the planning reforms now put in place by the Government of Ontario, environmentally sound development is promoted by means of clear policy statements and legislation that integrate social, cultural, economic and environmental values. The cornerstone to this new approach to land use planning is the comprehensive set of broad, integrated provincial policies that provide vision and leadership for the long-term benefit of society and the environment. Settlement and development in many parts of the province have degraded natural systems. The goal of the provincial policies incorporated irito Ontario's new plan- ning system is to protect the quality and integrity of ecosystems, including air> land, water and biota, and to encourage restoration to healthy conditions where that quality has been diminished. Clear, Strong Provincial Policies The comprehensive set of policy statements issued under the Planning Act include clear provincial priorities regarding the environment. These are policies that protect water quality and quantity; restrict development in certain significant natural heritage features; preclude development in extremely sensitive natural heritage areas such as ravines and wetlands; and permit a limited amount.of development in other natural heritage areas. These policies contribute to better protection of the environment in both direct and indirect ways. • Goal A, "Natural Heritage, Environmental Protection and Hazard Policies," relates directly to the protection of the environment. Goals 1 and 2 generally address the protection of the quality and the integrity of ecosystems, including air, water, land and biota. More specifically, a number of key natural features such as woodlands, valley corridors, water systems, habitat areas, and wetlands, which contribute to overall ecosystem health, are to be protected. The strong environmental protection provided by the Wetlands policy, issued in 1992, is maintained in Goal 2. Goal A3 restricts development in areas where natural or other hazards to human health and safety may result. 7' • Ontario's New Planning System • Goal B, "Economic, Community Development, and Infrastructure Policies," has a less direct but equally important relation to the environment. These policies help improve overall ecosystem health by requiring better management of growth and change. They help foster communities that are socially, culturally, economi- tally and environmentally healthy, and that make efficient use of land, new and- : existing infrastructure, and public services and facilities. More specifically, the environment will benefit from policies calling for intensification and compact urban form in settlement areas; the efficient provision of infrastructure such as • public transit; the reduction of potentially negative environmental effects (such as noise, odour, and other contaminants) of development within and outside settlement areas; and the separation or buffering of incompatible land uses. • Goal C, "Housing Policies;'supports intensification and encourages the use of alternative development standards which facilitate compact urban form and efficient use of land. These policies are intended to ensure that opportu- nities are provided in every municipality in Ontario for the creation of af- fordable housing that is environmentally appropriate and adequate for all households. This means that new housing projects and proposals must meet the environmental requirements set out in the other policies in the compre- hensive set of provincial policy statements. • Goal D, "Agricultural Land Policies;' protects our agricultural land base by reserving prime areas (i.e., Class 1 to 3 soils) for farming and other agricul- tural uses for the benefit of existing and future generations. Other uses may be permitted in prime areas, but only if they meet the Goal B environmental protection policies (e.g., extensions of settlement areas); go through an envi- ronmental assessment process (e.g., new infrastructure); or are followed by rehabilitation so that the same area and soil quality for agriculture.are re- stored (e.g., aggregate extraction). New development and livestock operations must comply with aminimum-distance separation requirement to ensure environmental compatibility. Goal E, "Conservation Policies;' promotes the wise use and conservation of our renewable and non-renewable energy sources. These new policies call for reuse, reduction and recycling, and for the planning of our communities to promote the most efficient modes of transportation, giving priority to low-polluting, energy- efficient travel such as transit, bicycling and walking. Conservation of our built environment is also encouraged through renovation and the reuse and recycling of building materials. Provision should also be made for efficient waste man- agement systems that meet provincial environmental standards. L Ontario's New Planning System Goal F, "Mineral Aggregate, Mineral and Petroleum Resources Policies;' protects the province's key non-renewable resources for current and future extraction, in an environmentally sound manner, to benefit all Ontarians now and in years to come. These new policies on mineral and petroleum resources ensure that exist- ing operations and resource areas won't be impacted adversely by incompatible uses. Environmental concerns regarding the operation of pits, quarries, mines and oil wells are addressed by existing legislation, such as the Aggregates Act and the Mining A~. The new policies, and the incorporation of the Mineral Aggregate Resources Policy Statement (MARPS) into the comprehensive set of statements, deal with after-uses and rehabilitation. Thus, environmental concerns related to matters such as water quality and quantity can be addressed more effectively following commercial extraction. New Planning Legislation The amendments to the Planning Act provide a comprehensive policy and regula- tory framework for integrating environmental concerns in land use planning, taking into account economic and social considerations. • One of the most important legislative changes requires that a municipality's plans "be consistent with" provincial policy statements. This requirement provides a strong mechanism for implementing these policies, but still ensures a level of flexibility that.allows for local considerations and objectives. The conse- quences of the policy statements and the "be consistent with" requirement are that the new planning system is policy-led. There will still be disputes over what is appropriate land use, but the disputes should occur at the policy development stages, like official plans, not overdevelopment approvals. Any disputes that cannot be resolved can be referred to the Ontario Municipal Board. The new "purpose" section in the Planning. Act provides greater clarity and direction to decisions made under the Act. This new section is general, but sets out for the first time in Ontario what the Act is intended to do (including the promotion of sustainable economic development in a healthy natural environment within the broad provincial policy direction set out in the policy statements and by the means provided in the Act). • Mandatory contents will be stipulated for all upper-tier official plans. The specific details are to be set out by regulation, and include matters relating to environmental protection, such as planning for water resources on a water- shed basis. 9' • Ontario 's New P l a n n i n S s t e m ~ Y • An optional planning process is to be provided by regulation which provides municipalities with a detailed set of contents and processes for the comprehen- • sive planning of land use, infrastructure, and other matters. This process builds in public consultation mechanisms and considerations such as alternatives and mitigation of environmental effects. It is intended that municipalities that choose to use this process will end up with a product which fulfils some of the key requirements of infrastructure planning under the Environmental Assessment Ate. It also has the added potential for combining land use planning and environ- • mental processes, thus saving time and money. Environmental Impact Statements (EISs), which are part of the implementation of the policies, must be prepared for new developments in or adjacent to certain significant natural features. This requirement, which was introduced in the Wet- lands Policy Statement, is now included in several of the policies relating to envi- ronmental protection. An EIS will outline the environmental effects that might be expected to occur as a result of a proposed development, and give alternative methods and measures for mitigating such impacts in order that the proposed development may go ahead on land adjacent to protected natural features. • Monitoring provisions, to be included in municipal official plans and in indi- vidual EISs, will help to keep track of environmental conditions and cumulative effects of development on a continuous basis. This will facilitate timely and effective mitigative action to avoid potential negative impacts. • Tree cutting control is provided through an amendment to the Municipal Act for municipalities with a population over 10,000 • A voluntary municipal septic system inspection program is available through an amendment to the Environmental Protection Act. Regulations will be developed to implement this provision. • Better control of site alteration is provided by amendments to the Municipal Act which enable municipalities to protect certain physical and natural areas. Local councils will be able to pass by-laws for certain types of site alteration, such as grading and the dumping of fill. • An improved Ontario Planning and Development Act enables efficient provincial planning and effective plans for geographic areas of provincial interest, including areas of specific environmental and natural heritage importance, such as the Oak Ridges Moraine. 10 Ontario's New P1 a n n i n g S ys to »: More Meaningful Public Involvement Changes made to the Planning Act enable early public participation in the planning process. These changes will result in faster and better decisions on development projects made at the local level. Specifically, from an environmental perspective, this means that concerns related to wetlands, water quality or other environmental values can be identified and addressed earlier in the process, before other often irrevocable actions have been taken. In keeping with the thrust for more meaningful public involvement in planning, the approval authority for plans of subdivision can now require the affected munici- pality or planning board to hold the required public meeting on a proposed subdivi- sion. The local body would then give the required notice of the public meeting. Conclusion The consequences of these changes in policy and legislation are to strengthen ecosys- tem planning. This is a vast improvement over previous practices and makes Ontario one of the leading jurisdictions in the protection of the environment. I1 Ontario's New Planning System ~S'trea~linin g the Plannin Process. g The government is committed to streamlining the planning system in a number of different ways. The public, the development industry and Ontario municipalities told the prov- ince that the planning process must be made faster and more efficient. The previous system was too cumbersome and complicated, and decisions on what development should take place and where it should go took far too long. We cannot continue to support a costly and inefficient land use planning system. The impact of delayed decisions amounts to millions of dollars of delayed economic activity and potential employment. As a result, the government has brought forward a package of planning reforms that: • makes legislative changes to streamline the municipal and provincial land use planning processes; • establishes strong provincial policies integrating the environment, the economy and social considerations; • empowers local decision-making and makes it more accountable. ........................ Benef:ts The new system is more predictable, because developers and citizens know up front what the provincial policies are. They also have detailed official plans of municipalities to guide them. The result will be a reduction in the number of disputes over land use planning issues. t 12 Ontario's New Planning System Legislatitie Change The changes to the Planning Act bring about a number of streamlining measures. The new legislation sets a framework in which municipal acid provincial decision-makers. can make more timely decisions within specific timeframes. O~cia! Plan Amendments (OPAs) In the OPA process, there used to be no limit to the time an applicant could be caught up in the planning system. In the new system, the approval authority has five months at most to make its decision, unless the matter has to be decided by the OMB. (See Figure 1 for more details.) Municipalities are required to give notice of a public meeting within 90 days of receiving a private official-plan amendment request, or the applicant is able to take the application directly to the approval authority. Plans of Subdivision For plans of subdivision, the approval process used to have no time limit. A maximum of six months is now allowed for decisions. These decisions could be made simultaneously with the decision-making process for OPAs. (See Figure 2 for more details.) The approval authority is permitted to waive the notice requirement for minor changes to the conditions of draft approval for plans of subdivision and consents. The province is preparing a regulation which will enable municipalities to re- move allocations from draft approved plans of subdivision that are not proceeding and to give them to other subdivisions that will proceed more quickly. Municipalities (and the province, where it approves a plan of subdivision) are permitted to let draft approval lapse within a specified period. This allows sewer and water to be allocated to developments ready to go ahead. Under the old legislation, the timeframe was not specified; now municipalities can at least decide what the timeline will be (with a minimum of three years), so that developers have some certainty within which to plan. I3 • Ontario s New P l a n n i n g S y s t e m Minor Variances Minor variances (new porches, lot line changes, etc.) can still be referred to the OMB if a local decision is disputed. • Ontario Municipal Board The role of the OMB is fundamental to a streamlined planning system. A fast and • effective decision-making process at the provincial and municipal levels should assist the OMB in dealing with appeals on planning and development applications. First of all, by using alternative dispute resolution techniques, local councils will be able to resolve matters that might otherwise have been referred to the OMB. The OMB also has expanded powers to dismiss appeals without a hearing where concerns are without merit. This gives the OMB the ability to deal more quickly with the more substantial cases it must hear. The OMB is also implementing other streamlining measures under the legislative changes to the Ontario Municipal Board Act. Development Permit System Municipalities will be able to adopt a development permit system for a defined area in a municipality or for the whole municipality, and will be able to delegate the issuance of development permits to staff. This means that municipal councils will not have to decide on individual development applications. This process can resolve detail in a speedy manner, help tailor development to the conditions and peculiarities of the site on which it is located, and ensure that public objectives are met. Public involvement in the development permit system is at the official plan policy stage. ,. The province is developing Regulations to bring this system into effect. Comprehensive Planning Process The previous provisions of the Planning Act did not require that municipalities, in preparing official plans, consider alternatives or address economic, social, or envi- ronmental issues and infrastructtre planning. Municipalities doing infrastructure planning must now address these issues under the Environmental Assessment Act. An alternative will be provided so that municipalities may choose to follow one single process that will address both planning and environmental issues and save time and money. 14 Ontario ' s N e w Mandatory Plan Contents Planning System The province is relying increasingly on municipal official plans to implement provincial policies. Appropriate contents and scope of official plans will be set out by regulation. This provides more certainty and direction. Complete Application Municipalities and planning boards may require a person or public body that requests an amendment to the official plan to provide prescribed information and material that the council or planning board may require. This is called a "complete application". An application may be refused for further consideration if the pre- scribed information and material is not provided and the application is therefore not complete. Planning in Northern Ontario Planning Boards in Northern Ontario have been strengthened and given increased authority to make local decisions on development applications. In the previous system, development was controlled through a Minister's Zoning Order, which meant all approvals were ultimately made by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. In the new system, all zoning responsibility, including administration, enforce- ment and all approvals, is transferred to Planning Boards. Conveyance of Land for Park Purposes Under the previous system, some municipalities were double-charging develop- ers for land donated for parkland purposes. The new legislation makes it clear that there is only one dedication of parkland, unless the proposal for development is changed. Alternative Dispute Resolution Provisions Municipalities, developers, neighbours and provincial ministries are often involved in disputes which are appealed or referred to the OMB. A hearing can sometimes take many months to schedule and can cost the participants a considerable sum of money. Informal dispute resolution techniques can be highly successful at the local level. Widespread opportunities for alternative dispute resolution are encouraged through a permissive clause in the Planning Act. 15' • Ontario ' s New P l a n n i n g S y s t e m A New Ontario Planning and Devel~ment Act Anew Ontario Plannine and Development Act has been enacted to streamline planning for creating and amending provincial plans. (One example of a current provincial plan is the Parkway Belt West Plan.) The process for creating provincial plans has been shortened, as has been the process for amendments to plans. The previous process for amending such plans was extremely costly, lengthy, and frustrating for the applicant. The shortened . process still allows ample opportunity for public input. All applications currently before the ministry will now be processed under the new legislation. These changes provide an effective provincial planning tool for areas of provincial interest. As well, they will be used to process amendments to the Parkway Belt West Plan quickly, resulting in the release of public and private lands which are no longer needed for public purposes. This increases opportunities for economic development and job creation. Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act A provision has been added to this Act to allow the Ministry of Natural Resources to delegate to a conservation authority and municipality the approval authority for the works that may forward, hold back or divert water within the channel of a river, creek, stream or water course. t 16 Ontario's New Planning System Administrative Change The groundwork for the new legislation was laid by a number of earlier innovations. Reducing the Backlog The Ministry of Municipal Affairs has taken concerted action to reduce planning application backlogs that are holding up development decisions. Substantial success has been achieved in this area. Improving Incoming Informateon The Ministry of Municipal Affairs, as lead ministry, has begun to take on a stronger role as adviser and provider of information on planning matters. An example is the "Guide to Provincial Planning Applications; which the minis- try issued in conjunction with industry to help the government and developers save time anc~ money on planning approvals. Increasingly, clients are seeking assistance in working out the critical issues and potential disputes that they must address before making an application. The earlier this is done in the application process, the more likely it is that the end product will meet provincial and local polity requirements. The system is moving toward more and more work "up front:' Internal Efficiencies and Improvements Various ways are being tested to reduce the circulation of applications among different review agencies for wmment. This concept has been~called the ".one- window approach:' Another initiative in this area concerns the dispute resolution capacity of the Office of the Provincial Facilitator. The Office has had a 75 per cent success rate in resolving these issues, through a variety of means. ~~ 17' Ontario's New Planning System Reducing Delays at the Ontario Municipal Board Innovations and system changes are being tested that could alleviate caseloads at the OMB and reduce delays in hearing times. • One approach is to make better use of alternative dispute resolution techniques before selected appeals to the OMB reach the formal hearing stage, thereby heading off costly and time-consuming hearings. • OMB mediation experiments have been extremely successful in that 30 per cent • of cases are withdrawn and another 60 per cent result in short hearings. The average cost to the OMB per mediated case is one-half the cost of an equivalent hearing. Another measure is the introduct;on of case management on a trial basis in part of Eastern Ontario. Under this approach, Board members and staff will be assigned to one area instead of operating in all parts of the province, as is now the case. This should speed up the process because members will quickly accumulate a knowledge of the area and its official plans and by-laws, as well as the major players. Timetables will also be introduced as part of the case management experiment. Hearing dates will be set at the beginning of a case, and involved parties will be informed that no adjournments will be allowed unless there is a very good reason. Any cases that are adjourned will be taken off the active list. The OMB is also producing a hearings guide to inform ratepayers and others about the hearing process and what it entails. The guide will also explain the re- quirements for a complete application, since incomplete files account for the greatest percentage of backlogged cases. Conclusion These innovations in the planning process and delivery of information have only just begun. The government intends to focus on efficient delivery and excellent customer service in the implementation of Ontario's planning reforms. 18 Ontario's lVew Planning Systern Timeframes Make the System Faster Figure I = ~ . o ~~ .,, .~ :~ .~ m v a ~ ~w _ •a ~ a ~ o o .~ ~ •C , o ~ o ......~ _ 6 v Fe O R tl sP L.. ~_~v `~ w ~ _~ ~ ~ o d ,$ ""' OC `~ ga M ~' ~ ~ ~V A r A N .~ ® o .~ ~ o e _ ~~ ~ s ~ os - ~. o .eC 'tip' X .~ •°o ~ - °o 'ss . _ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~ M v ~ N W c i Q ; Y d` ~ _ ~ C ~ ~ _ ~ _ ~ ~ ~ _ w '` a' Y Y . ~~ d b Q d A O Ri ~_ ~.

Barrie, AMCT Clerk Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville, Ontario L1C 3A6 Dear Ms. Barrie: Mental Health Programs and Services Assistant Deputy Minister's Office 9th Floor, Hepburn Block 80 GroavanorStreet Toronto, Ontario ,~1A7A 1 R3 Tel: (416) 327-7241 Fax: (416) 3145914 Thank you for your letter about proposed budget reductions in provincial psychiatric hospitals (PPHs), specifically Whitby Psychiatric Hospital. It will interest you to know that the government recently approved $20 million over the next two years for investment in new or enhanced community mental health services. This will provide a solid foundation for reform of the mental health system over the next several years. Strategies for reallocation of inpatient dollars and services to the community will be developed and implemented in the same time period, with an eventual shift to a 60:40 split in favour of community services from the current 80:20 in favour of inpatient services. By the end of 1997-98 it is hoped that the amount of community supports and services will have been increased by approximately $60 million. This includes the $20 million in new government funding along with additional money obtained through the reallocation of resources as psychiatric hospitals shift from a focus on inpatient care to community services. .../2 t - 2 - Ms. Patti Barrie - 3 - To date, $20 million dollars have been saved in the PPHs over the last two years through operational efficiencies and. expenditure reductions. The Ministry is slowing down the pace of change in the psychiatric hospitals and adjusting the multi-year fiscal plan to reflect this saving as well as the new community investment. Psychiatric hospitals are being given enough funding to maintain current expenditure levels. In addition, the $20 million community investment will allow hospitals to continue to plan service reallocation and achieve their savings in a rational way. We are committed to ensuring that community supports are in place before downsizing occurs in the provincial psychiatric hospital system. We are working closely with District Health Councils (DHCs) to mesh their planning with that of the PPHs; DHC recommendations to the Ministry regarding reform will be very important. The Ministry recognizes that the staff and programs in the PPHs are important resources in the system, and we are committed to ensuring that the expertise in serving the mentally ill is maintained to support the implementation of Mental Health Reform.

I have taken the matter up with the Minister of Recreation and Culture, the Honourable Anne Swarbrick, and will report back to you on my progress with this matter. Insofar as the school naming, I have been advised by the Minister of Education, the Honourable David Cooke, that this would be the responsibility of the school board alone. I might add on a personal note of my own knowledge of the Queen Victoria hospital at East Grinshead, in Sussex, which was very close to my wartime residence in England. I subscribe to recognizing Dr. Tilley whose service to those disfigured airman was recognized by the late King George VI.

PORTABLE FORGE PURCHASE: Donna is looking after this. Nothing further to report at this time. BUILDING COMMITTEE REPORT: A local contractor, Sonny Young of Sonbon Homes, has approached the Museum with an offer of an 1840's two level farm house and summer kitchen. Mr. Young has been contracted to demolish this structure and because of its good condition, he would rather move it to the Museum's site in Kirby to help alleviate the Museum's storage problems and provide more space. The Building Committee viewed the house with Mr. Young before Christmas. Photographs were shown to the Board. The Curator explained that the upper floor moms would accommodate all of the boxed storage currently in the back rooms at the armories. In addition the restoration of the main floor rooms could be carried out with the mouldings and trim from the Rosebank House salvaged in the 1980's. The Curator suggested restoring the kitchen wing with reproductions and using the area as a programming room\meeting space. This would leave only the farm machinery which could then be housed in an unheated drive shed next to the farm house. The extra space would double the current exhibition space, allow for increased education and community programming and increased fundraising possibilities through workshops and programmes, particularly in the winter months. The Board discussed the offer of this donation and the capital reserve fund. The Board agreed that this is a very generous offer and one that could be very beneficial to the Museum. The t t -3- Board agreed to pursue this offer and prepare a report. This offer will be further discussed at the February Board meeting when it is hoped that the Council representatives will be on hand to provide input. TREASURER'S REPORT: Kathy presented the month end accounts and expenses. Attached. **95-03** Moved by Kathy, Seconded by Fran, that these accounts be paid as presented. Carried.

We commissioned studies to'examinc the obtttmon perception that refillables are better for the environment than recyclables.

Next Steps Jn spite of the above findings, we have ~apreed to analyse. the barriers .that currently prevent the introduction of plastic refillable beverage .containers into the Ontario marketplace. ' Thus, we are conducting a major project m e~-amine and document: - ~ . • Cturent non-pfoprietary laiowledge, from around, the world,. that is available about plastic refillable bottles ~ ~ . • The most cost efficient ways to increase recovery levels for plastic refillable bottles put into _ the Blue Box ~ ~ ~ .. ~ - The projects will be guided by an Overall Project Steering Committee, consisting of Ontario CSDA member company represerrtatives, an elected municipal representative and sn environmental advocate. ~Saft Drink containers and CIi~SI . It has been suggested ~by some •that the Blue Box progam is"'designed to ~bsidize •soft drink companies who would otherwise have to sell refillable containers at higher costs. They surest deposits . ' on soft drinks would be the best rotation for recovering beverage materials for recycling and even darm this would not undctznine or destroy the Blue Box program.. ~~ iVe strongly disagree. Just consider the following: ' ~ - ' ~ ~ ' • We are one of the few industries to currently provide consumers with a refillable option. We have also spent a lot of money to avett•declining consumer demand. • There is no need for any of our containers to go to landfill. All are.recyclable. • Aluminum soft drink containers have a high dollar value in the recycling market. Removal of these materials from the Blue Box into a parallel recycling .system (such as deposits) would not only be 1nCOnvenierlt and costly for cotLatmets, but would deprive Munidpalities of a significant portion of their Biue Box revenues..)n fact it would fundamentally undermine the economic viability and. cost effectiveness of the Blue Box infias-tructure. 3 • the Blue Box program has been an enormous success, resulting in-a~substatitial reduction of waste going to landfills. It is estunated that for. every pound of soft drink materials ici the $lue Box, another thirty pounds of. other materials ace coIIected. That means if we are being subsidized, other industries must be subsidized thirty Tunes as much. In reality,•the so$ drink industry .is not being subsidized at all. We have paid our share and more (both capital and operating funding) to ensure a viable and'sustainable recycling system for this province. . It would be a real shame to jeopardize a program doing something substantial for the enviroanient for one that: - l • is very cosily for consumers; ~ ~ .~ ,.. • would result in loss of high paying jobs; 8nd, - • only addrecces beverage containers (less than 2°/a of municipal waste stc+eam) , _ in a comprehensive manner. -The Beer Industry and CYt'SI a . - Finally, it is being argued that CIPSI would underntine Ontario's refillable system for hoer bottles. This is a very difficult argument to understand or take seriously as the refillable beer system is specifically ezempted from CIPSI payments. They have a complete monopoly on beer sales and . only 300 outlets where consumers can buy and return their bottles. Why would a successful $lue Box program change this? . . ~ - - ..~ ~ . We suspect the beer companies, real concern is not environmentally based, but rather related to'- thepossibility of open competition such as exists in the soft drink industry and inmost other food and beverage companies. _ ~ - Gonctusion • We believe CIPSI will be an outstanding success. It will provide a model for other jurisdictions in Canada, the United States and around the World w follow: The -leadership demonstrated by . • government, industry and municipalities'in Ontario during the past year will long be rettuembered in the history books.

Joan King Metro Councilor Suite 217 55 John Street Toronto, Ontario )\45:i :iC6 Dear Joan: Re: Alurrlitiuin Vs Steel I understand that theta is speculation (as n result of the significant world price increases in aluminum), as to whether the Soft Drink Industry will continue packaging in aluminum or switch back to steel. The Soft T~rink Industry supports CTPST as being the most effective way of ensuring the long ternt viability of the Blue Box Program in Ontario. We recognize that revenues from aluminum now play an important part in this interim phase of Blue Box funding. We are committed to our part in making CIPSI successtill. If CIPSI is implemented, we whll continue to package in aluminum for CTPSt phase 1 and at least until the CTPST levy is basal on the true cost of managing materials in the recycling system. If CIPSI is nol implemented, we would either stay in aluminum ur switch to steel and revert back to payuig municipalities based on a "top up" formula designed to reunburse them for costs of collecting our materials. If you requira any addirional infocTnation on this matter, please give me a call. Yours suicerely, Stuart Hartley CSDA Vice President -Ontario =1~ c.c.

According to representatives of MNR, supporting documentation has not yet been forwarded and the application has not yet been circulated to other relevant agencies for comment. However, neighbours and those with an interest in protection of our natural heritage have learned of St. Marys' plan to drain and quarry Westside Marsh and opposition to the proposal is growing. The Port Darlington Community Association (PDCA) has no knowledge of any study or research into the environmental impacts of diverting the Creek and quarrying the Marsh. To date, all planning and consideration of this undertaking by St. Marys and MNR has occurred without public consultation or consideration of public impacts. Therefore, PDCA has requested that the Minister of Environment and Energy require that any plans for quarrying of the Marsh, including the application for diversion of the Creek, be designated under the Environmental Assessment Act so that a full evaluation of the effects on the environment can be considered. The PDCA's request for designation is presently being considered by the Environmental Assessment Branch which has requested comments from members of a Government Review Team. The Waterfront Regeneration Trust, as a participant in the Government Review Team, is expected to respond to the Environmental Assessment Branch with its report due in February, 1995. In an attempt to diffuse the increasingly polarized situation, the Municipality of Clarington requested the assistance of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust in facilitating a resolution of the major issues arising from St. Marys' dock expansion and their proposal to quarry the Westside Marsh. The Trust arranged to host a series of three Public Discussion -Sessions during which St. Marys could present their plans and rationale for quarrying the Westside Marsh and interested individuals and groups could present relevant information and views. This brief is being submitted by the PDCA following the Public Discussion Sessions and represents comments on issues raised and positions presented during these sessions. 1.1 Scope of the Public Discussion Sessions The purpose of these Sessions was to increase understanding of St. Marys' plans and their implications, to explore practical alternatives and to provide opportunities for community dialogue. Although the PDCA expressed concern that the Sessions would be considered an alternative for a more comprehensive analysis of environmental implications and alternatives, the Trust indicated by correspondence, repeated by Mr. Crambie during his opening remarks, that the Sessions were not a replacement for other available legal procedures. n it During their welcoming remarks, both Mr. Crombie and Mr. Stockwell, reprESenting the __ __.___ _. Municipality of Clarington, referred to the Sessions as "hearings". During questioning of those presenting information, Mr. Crombie referred to their comments and responses as "testimony". The combination of terminology such as "hearings" and "testimony" led many of those present as well as representatives of the media to view and report the Sessions as hearings. This has resulted in a public perception that the Sessions have some legal significance beyond that outlined in the Terms of Reference. Notwithstanding the public perception of the Public Discussion Sessions, their role was to facilitate dialogue about, and examination of, St. Marys' proposed quarrying of Westside Marsh. Throughout the Sessions, St. Marys' proposal, their supporting information, their rationale, their public consultation and their consideration of alternatives were questioned and critiqued. Numerous presenters during the Public Discussion Sessions repeatedly identified the need for a co-ordinated and comprehensive review. These comments echo the PDCA's request for designation of this issue for environmental assessment. Therefore, the PDCA ask that Mr. Crombie and the Waterfront Regeneration Trust respond to the request for comment by the Environmental Assessment Branch by supporting designation of the quarrying of Westside Marsh for environmental assessment. 1.2 Right to Quarry the Marsh Reference was also made to St. Marys' "right" to quarry the Westside Marsh. St. Marys has a licence under the Aggregate Resources Act which allows up to 3 million tons of aggregate to be removed annually from a designated area. There is general agreement that, prior to the diversion of Westside Creek, and draining and quarrying of Westside Marsh, a series of other permits and approvals are required under several pieces of legislation including the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act, the Conservation Authorities Act, the Water Resources Act, the Fisheries Act and the Navigable Waters Protection Act. Given that the aggregate beneath the Marsh can be accessed only after these outstanding approvals have been acquired, and since there is no guarantee implicit in St. Marys licence that such approvals would necessarily be forthcoming or would be issued unconditionally, it would appear that there is no inherent "right" to quarry the Marsh. 1.3 Need to Quarry the Marsh During the Public Discussion Sessions, St. Marys provided an explanation for their need to access aggregate in Phase 3, the Westside Marsh, within 10 years. This is significantly in advance of previous estimates which suggested that aggregate remaining in Phase 1 and available from Phase 2 would supply approximately 30 years of production. 2 L' r lend _ __ _ . _.. _ - St. Marys explanation was based on the need for a specific type of aggregate m orde to b _ _ with aggregate from Phase 2. However, the historical pattern of Phase 1 quarrying suggests that blending from the various layers, or benches, of aggregate within one Phase can be managed acceptably in all but the last few years of extraction in a Phase. Further commentary on St. Marys' argument for urgent access to Phase 3 is provided in Appendix A, Need for Aggregate from Westside Marsh. 1.4 Solutions, Alternatives and Compensation The PDCA questions the relevance of an exercise which attempts to identify "solutions" or "alternatives" for quarrying of Westside Marsh. Currently, quarrying in the Marsh is not permitted. Until such time as unrestricted authorization is given by the various regulatory agencies, St. Marys cannot divert the Westside Creek and quarry the Marsh. Although "solutions" and "alternatives" are being sought that provide for compensation, the PDCA questions whether compensation is appropriate for an encumbered property, such as the Westside Marsh. The PDCA also questions the expenditure of public funds to support the process of identification of solutions, alternatives and compensation for the loss of an asset to which St. Marys does not currently have access. 1.5 Outstanding Questions During the Public Discussion Sessions, written questions were accepted from those present and directed, by Mr. Crombie, to presenters. On a number of occasions, presenters were unable to respond immediately and indicated that further research would be required in order to provide the necessary answer. PDCA would appreciate receiving the answers to these questions. Appendix B, Outstanding Questiwrs, itemizes those outstanding questions identified by the PDCA. 2.0 Quarrying Westside Marsh Notwithstanding the foregoing, the PDCA submits that the process for dealing with St. Marys' plans to quarry the Westside Marsh must.focus on the following elements: protecting the environment, as defined by the Environmental Assessment Act, through good planning; public consultation; it evaluation of alternatives to, and alternative methods~f carrying~out,--the ~--~--- - - - - undertaking, considering the natural, social, cultural, economic and technical aspects of each; and a process for selecting the preferred alternative. The information which follows addresses these issues and comments on the adequacy of the information presented by St. Marys and others in achieving these goals. 2.1 The Need to Evaluate the Loss of Westside Marsh Repeatedly during the Public Discussion Sessions, presenters referred to the loss of wetlands and the need to conserve those areas which remain, including Westside Marsh. During his presentation, Mr. Serge Metikosh of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans echoed remarks made by a number of presenters regarding the increasing loss of wetlands by stating that "the long term trend has resulted in 80% of the original wetland being lost and 100% of it near major urban areas". He also referred to "the alarming rate of loss of wetland" and indicated that scientists have expressed the professional opinion "that there should be an effort to conserve what is left". In referring to Canada's new Wetlands Policy, he stated that "it is important to note the main objective is to promote and conserve Canada's wetlands and sustain their ecological and socioeconomic functions now and in the future". It is within this context of ever diminishing wetlands, that we are faced with the loss of a provincially significant 46 hectare marsh, located not only within the jurisdiction of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust, but within the Greater Toronto Area, the major urban area of the province of Ontario. Lack of Current Data Available information regarding the environmental and social significance of the Westside Marsh is limited to: • information compiled in order to complete the 1983 evaluation which led to its designation as a provincially significant Class II wetland; • the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) report on the Westside Marsh, produced in 1984; • various lists of species and vegetation compiled by naturalists since the 1960's; and • verbal information presented by representatives of M.M. Dillon on behalf of St. 4 Marys, during the Public Discussion. Sessions. While the 1983 evaluation, the 1984 CLOCA report and the avocational studies are useful for historical and comparison purposes, none of this information is either current or particularly helpful in determining the significance of the Westside Marsh in 1995 and beyond. Information provided by St. Marys' consultants was obviously incomplete when compared with the level of detail provided by other presenters. In order to ensure that information related to Westside Marsh is current, comprehensive and available, the PDCA requests that: the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) undertake an evaluation of the Marsh, using the current 3rd edition manual for wetlands evaluation; St. Marys release the terms of reference, methodology, timeframe and results of studies which have been undertaken during 1992, 1993 and 1994; and all future studies of the Marsh be undertaken with full public participation. Appendix C provides additional detail regarding Information Available on Westside Marsh. Lack of Ecosystem Evaluation The Westside Marsh represents one of a number of marshes in the Region of Durham and, more specifically, along the northern shore of Lake Ontario. Wildlife, such as mammals, birds and insects, tend to move between areas which provide food andlor habitat or from one such area to the next during periods of migration. The Westside Marsh also provides water quality and quantity management for the Westside Creek, surface runoff from upstream and adjacent areas during spring melt and as a result of storms, and from various springs located within or adjacent to it. Although the Marsh undoubtedly functions in relation to its surroundings, including the network of shoreline wetlands and ground and surface waters, no information has been presented regarding the implications of quarrying of the Westside Marsh on these related and environmentally interdependent ecosystems. Lack of Impartial Evaluation To date, the only information regarding the implications of quarrying Westside Marsh has been compiled by consultants retained by St. Marys in order to prepare the application for approval necessary under the Fisheries Act. t t Although it is common for a proponent.to take. responsibility for accumulating data relevant to a proposed undertaking, St. Marys' stated intention to quarry the Marsh indicates a clear bias on their part. In addition, as St. Marys has proceeded to compile data without public consultation, the normal checks and balances that should result from public scrutiny have not occurred to ensure an impartial evaluation of the environmental significance of the Marsh or of any alternatives which may be worthy of consideration. Certainly, information presented by St. Marys' consultant regarding Westside Marsh during the Public Discussion Sessions did not give the appearance of an impartial assessment of its characteristics. As Ms. Harker introduced each aspect of the Marsh to be considered, she used expressions designed to portray the Marsh as restricted. Repeated use of such phrases as "an important limitation", "limitations in terms of water depth and murkiness", "another limitation", "a limitation of the Marsh", "another limitation of this Marsh", and "limited tree and shrub cover" combined to produce an impression of a marsh hampered by numerous impediments. If one did not know that the Marsh being described was a Class II provincially significant marsh, the tone and choice of terminology would not have conveyed that information. Loss of Non-renewable Resources Both the provincially significant marsh lying on the surface and the aggregate lying beneath it are non-renewable resources of the Municipality of Clarington and the Province of Ontario. Given the critical need to ensure that planning decisions contribute to an environmentally and economically sustainable future, special attention must be paid to activities that will deplete or degrade non-renewable resources. During his presentation, Mr. Gene Wrinkle of St. Marys indicated that "80% of the Bowmanville plant's production is exported" to the United States, compared with the previous 25 years when "St. Marys in Bowmanville serviced primarily the Ontario market". This shift to production for export, while undoubtedly reflecting the general trend towards a global economy in the context of free trade, raises questions regarding the sustainable management ofnon-renewable resources. An evaluation of the loss of one non-renewable resource - a provincially significant marsh - in order to export another non-renewable resource -aggregate - to non-Canadian markets is essential if we are to live up to the principles of sustainable development which Canada has adopted. Piecemeal Review and Permitting Process The Ministry of Natural Resources is the ministry responsible for management of the province's natural resources. For example, under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act, MNR's responsibilities include the preservation of the natural amenities of lakes and rivers. MNR issued St. Marys' aggregate licence and is responsible for reviewing and renewing this licence and the associated site plans. In response to questions during the Public Discussion Sessions, MNR representatives indicated that, in their view, the provincial Wetlands Policy does not apply to the 6 t Westside Marsh and any review and approvals required from-141~TR in-order to-proceed with quarrying would be undertaken without consideration of the province's current best management practices for protection of wetlands. MNR appears to be in a position of conflict since it is responsible for issuing and then managing St. Marys' aggregate licence and may not be clearly able to identify and define their role in terms of protection of other provincial natural resources, such as wetlands. The Ministry of Environment and Energy (MOEE) has jurisdiction over St. Marys proposal to quarry Westside Marsh under the Water Resources Act. The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) has jurisdiction over St. Marys proposal to quarry Westside Marsh under the Conservation Authorities Act. However, no information has been forwarded to the MOEE or CLOCA a full two years after St. Marys first submitted an application to MNR to divert the Westside Creek. This suggests not only a lack of communication among those agencies with jurisdiction but also a need for a comprehensive and co-ordinated review of the proposal by all relevant agencies. 2.2 Participation in the Evaluation Process P:iblic Participation Public consultation on various aspects of St. Marys' operations has historically been limited. For example, MNR indicated that notification of the Municipality of Clarington was considered sufficient when St. Marys applied to double their annual capacity. Adjacent and affected property owners were not notified. The PDCA learned of St. Marys application to divert Westside Creek inadvertently. In order to gain a better understanding of the proposed undertaking and to participate in the planning process, members of the PDCA requested to meet with St. Marys but were informed that such a meeting would only occur when final plans were complete. Given St. Marys' interest in sharing information only at the completion rather than during the process, the PDCA resorted to requests under provincial Freedom of Information and federal Access to Information. Ministry decisions to release relevant information to the PDCA have been challenged by St. Marys and are currently under judicial review. The process to consider diversion of Westside Creek, draining and quarrying of Westside Marsh and alternatives to this undertaking has occurred without public participation. Prior to the recent Public Discussion Sessions, hosted by the Waterfront Regeneration Trust, the public was not informed of St. Marys' intentions to quarry Westside Marsh. Until December 6, 1994, a full two years after St. Marys' submitted an application to MNR to divert Westside Creek, no opportunities for members of the public to become involved and informed on the subject have been available. 7 The Public Discussion Sessions, -rather than- St: Marys were responsible for bringing the issue to the attention of members of the broader environmental community, including the Federation of Ontario Naturalists, Durham Field Naturalists, Durham Wetlands and Watersheds, Durham Anglers and Hunters, Supporting Wetlands and Nature, Citizens for a Lakeshore Greenway and others. St. Marys did present information related to their operations, quarrying of Westside Marsh, their proposal to create an alternative marsh, and their rationale for rejecting all other alternatives during the Sessions. However, this information appeared to be incomplete and perhaps inaccurate, compromising meaningful public consultation. In fact, the only information on the issue available to date was released during the Public Discussion Sessions during which St. Marys presented a proposal to create a replacement marsh within a 32 acre, or approximately 13 hectare, buyer area. As this proposal had already been rejected by Fisheries and Oceans and was no longer a viable alternative to quarrying Westside Marsh, the PDCA questions the benefit of public review of a proposal that will not proceed. In addition, even though the proposed constructed marsh was described, no information was presented comparing the functions of the new marsh to the Westside Marsh nor was there information presented regarding the community impacts of such a proposal. Even when opportunities for public consultation were available, such as during the development of the Region of Durham's new Official Plan, changes to the designation of the Westside Marsh area were made after the public consultation period without any further opportunity for public comment. Further comments on Public Consultation are provided in Appendix D. Agency Participation Although St. Marys first submitted an application to divert Westside Creek under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act in December of 1992, no information regarding this application nor any supporting documentation has been made available to the public or to our knowledge, to any other regulatory agencies having responsibility for evaluating the impact on the environment, other than MNR and Fisheries and Oceans. During the Public Discussion Sessions, MNR indicated that they are awaiting further information prior to circulating the application to other agencies, including CLOCA and MOEE. Information presented by CLOCA, MNR and St. Marys suggests that St. Marys has a poor track record in terms of meeting the terms of existing agreements and complying with existing regulations. For example, an installation of a culvert in Westside Creek a number of months ago was undertaken without the necessary approvals from CLOCA and MNR. Although the work was stopped when CLOCA was informed of the activity, CLOCA indicated that remedial measures remain incomplete. 8 1 - - - - - ~ -The-Coast Guard, which has an indirect interest in Westside Marsh due to their consideration-of - ---- ---- - an application by St. Marys to expand their docking facility, indicated that they are also waiting on additional information. Agencies with a regulatory interest in Westside Marsh are routinely uninformed, are consistently waiting for information and appear to have been ignored by St. Marys when permits are required or when existing agreements must be met. 2.3 An Evaluation of the Environmental Effects Quarrying of Westside Marsh, and alternatives to this undertaking, must be evaluated in order to determine the most environmentally appropriate course of action. This evaluation must include - -the natural, social, economic, cultural, technical and archeological conditions that may be affected ,1_ _ by the quarrying of the Marsh or its alternatives. Quarrying Westside Marsh The Westside Marsh is a natural resource without parallel on the Lakeshore of the Municipality of Clarington. This 46 hectare marsh represents an important and distinct environmentally sensitive area and also plays a critical role in a much broader local and regional ecosystem. With such a significant and valuable natural resource at risk, a thorough analysis and comprehensive review are essential. Certain aspects of the Marsh are being evaluated by one or more agencies as a result of St. Marys' applications to expand their dock or to drain Westside Marsh. For example: • The impacts of quarrying in Phase 2 and of the expansion of dock activities on the Marsh, its functions and inhabitants are currently included in the scope of the Canadian Coast Guard's review of St. Marys' proposed dock expansion. However, this review is occurring with limited opportunity for public input and scrutiny. • The potential for loss offish habitat as a result of St. Marys' proposal to substitute a 32 acre engineered marsh was considered by Fisheries and Oceans and resulted in Fisheries and Oceans' rejection of this proposal. However, no government agency is currently responsible for considering the Marsh as an integrated ecosystem. The full environmental, social, cultural and economic implications of its loss are not being considered by any single government agency, nor is there a co-ordinated review by all concerned agencies. St. Marys, as the proponent for quarrying the Marsh, has presented incomplete and in many cases inaccurate information regarding the Marsh. In fact, the level of detail and manner of presentation t 9 suggests bias-and leads one to conclude that studies of the Marsh have been undertaken in order _ .._. _ to support St. Marys intention to quarry the Marsh rather than to determine its environmental value or significance. Given the lack of environmental performance standards imposed upon or implemented voluntarily by St. Marys, the need for external leadership to assist and guide an environmental evaluation appears to be critical. Appendix E provides background information regarding Licencing of Aggregate Operations, which suggests that conditions of St. Marys' licence are not consistent with current best management practices for the aggregate industry. The loss of Westside Marsh must be evaluated -either by St. Marys with full public participation to ensure impartiality or by some other co-ordinated group with appropriate representation and participation to ensure an impartial assessment. Alternatives to Qriarryi~7g Westside Marsh During the Public Discussion Sessions, St. Marys outlined a number of alternatives to quarrying of Westside Marsh, and for each alternative explained why it was unsuitable or impractical. These alternatives included: • importation of aggregate by road, rail or water; • quarrying of Phase 4; and quarrying of Ontario Hydro property located to the west of St. Marys. high carbonate aggregate; However, the information presented by St. Marys as the basis for their rejection of each alternative was neither complete nor persuasive. In addition to those alternatives identified by St. Marys, a number of other options were raised during subsequent presentations including: • importation of limited quantities of low carbonate aggregate to blend with Phase 2 • importation of limited quantities of aggregate throughout Phase 2 and Phase 4 in order to extend production; • marketing Phase 2 high carbonate aggregate without blending; and • quarrying of Waverley Road, based on identification of an alternate access route to Cedarcrest Beach. A number of questions can be raised regarding the process to identify and evaluate alternatives, including: ~~ 1 ~' 1 • What assumptions were used to scope each alternative? • How were alternatives identified? • Was the data used for evaluation incomplete and/or biased? • What environmental aspects (i.e. natural, social, cultural, economic and technical) were considered? • What screening criteria were used as the basis for evaluation of each alternative? • What methodology was used to apply the screening criteria, that is what relative weight was given to the various screening criteria? • Who participated in the review, evaluation and subsequent decisions? As the context for evaluation was not provided, the issue of identification and evaluation of alternatives requires comprehensive study with full public scrutiny to ensure that all aspects are thoroughly evaluated and properly compared to the loss of Westside Marsh. These options also deserve consideration with full public participation to ensure a thorough assessment. Appendix F provides additional information regarding Alternatives to the Quarrying of Westside Marsh. ~ 2.4 Adequacy of Applicable Legislation There is no current or foreseeable approval process available under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act or other provincial or federal legislation that will adequately address environmental concerns, provide for the assessment of alternatives and ensure opportunities for public consultation. The lead agency, MNR, has already publicly taken the position that it will not apply the long standing guidelines, now policy, dealing with wetland protection to St. Marys' application to divert the Westside Creek. MNR also took the position that technical and scientific data filed in support of St. Marys' application should not be released to the public. The conflict MNR has in dealing with its responsibilities under the wetland policy and the aggregate policy for ensuring sufficient supplies for Ontario residents can only be properly dealt with by an independent body with the expertise of the environmental assessment board. The board, in undertaking an environmental assessment, has the mandate to evaluate, in a public process, the merits of quarrying the Westside Marsh against its potential harm to the environment. k 4 3.0 Recommendations The PDCA has been monitoring St. Marys proposal to divert Westside Creek and drain and quarry Westside Marsh for a number of years. As a result of this experience and our understanding of the issue gathered during the Public Discussion Sessions, we recommend that: • given that access to the aggregate under the Marsh has always been contingent on approvals other than their aggregate licence, the need to ensure that St. Marys is compensated for the loss of Westside Marsh be reconsidered; • the on-going process to evaluate any proposal that would affect the Westside Marsh be managed by an independent authority; • any issue that would affect the Westside Marsh be explored and considered with full public involvement and scrutiny; and • the Waterfront Regeneration Trust, in their response to the Environmental Assessment Branch, support the PDCA's request for a full environmental assessment of the diversion of Westside Creek and quarrying of Westside Marsh. 12 0 E APPENDIX A - - - - Need for Aggregate from Westside Marsh St. Marys indicated that low carbonate aggregate from Phase 3, the Westside Marsh, will be required to blend with higher carbonate aggregate from Phase 2. This position was supported by a "simplistic" explanation of the layered formation of aggregate and the need to blend from these different layers, or benches, in order to create the appropriate recipe for product to meet market demand. St. Marys argued that the manner in which the benches in Phase 2 would be quarried would result in a lack of low carbonate aggregate which they propose to obtain from Phase 3. However, the historical operating performance during quarrying of Phase 1 suggests that St. Marys has been able to work entirely within one pit for approximately 25 years. In fact, given the 3 to 4 years remaining in Phase 1 and the expected start up of Phase 2 within 2 years, St. Marys will be quarrying simultaneously in both Phase 1 and Phase 2 for perhaps 2 to 4 years . St. Marys indicated that they wish to complete diversion of the Creek and draining of the Marsh within 5 years so that site preparation can be complete and blasting can begin in Phase 3 within 10 years. Given that once quarrying begins in Phase 2 in about 2 years, it is expected to continue for 23 years, this would suggest an overlap of quarrying in Phases 2 and 3 of about 15 years. Since St. Marys was capable of managing the blending of various types of aggregate from Phase 1 without the need for aggregate from Phase 2, it would appear reasonable to assume that they are also capable of managing the Schedule of Quarrying Operations Begin Finish Overlap Phase 1 1968 1998 na Phase 2 1996 2019 2 years Phase 3 2004 2034 15 years Phase 4 ? ? ? blending of various types of aggregate from Phase 2 without the need for aggregate from Phase 3. Therefore, the PDCA questions the need to quarry Phase 3 within 10 years. APPENDIX B Outstanding Questions December 6 Session -Questions to St. Marys: Page 56 What provisions will be made regarding water tables of existing wells that feed from the marsh? Page 58 Please explain the figures at the bottom of the diagrams. The figures were not easy to read and to decipher exactly the amounts of the low grade, high grade and very high grade materials in various benches? Page 61 At a hearing held in 1977, you recall that St. Marys reported their company's _ estimate that it uses 2.37 acres to produce 700,000 tonnes of cement annually. ._._ __ Recognizing that extraction is now going to greater depth than it was in 1977 and the plant capacity is higher, how many acres are required to produce St. Marys Bowmanville plant's annual capacity? Page 63 St. Marys is proposing that it can maintain or establish a wetland on the buffer areas. Between now and when Phase 3, if Phase 3 comes on line, how is St. Marys assessing the integrity of the eco-system involved in following that plan and monitoring the site so that in the future it is suitable for maintaining integrity of the eco-system in the buffer areas? Page 72 How do you compromise an instinct to nest when blasting shakes your newly planted vegetation? (Harker states "my bird people can get that answer for you.) December 7 Session -Questions to MNR: Page 68 If St. Marys Cement has undertaken a systematic degradation of the marsh habitat in an effort to lower the significant classification of this marsh, have any of these agencies addressed this questionable activity? Page 69 Residents of the local beach have noticed that with increasing frequency the loading yard in the northwest corner of the marsh has experienced spills of fuel oil and toxic runoff from stored materials. Is there not legislation requiring barriers or buffers to remedy this odious and thinly guised purposeful situation? December 12 Session -Question to St. Marys: Page 99 We need the chemistry of the high and low grade limestone as well as those other raw materials that they add to the mix in order that they can use reasonable analysis. (Wrinkle indicated that Meta was "to reply to that question in full which we can't do now".) i~ APPENDIX C Information Available on Westside Marsh The Westside Marsh was designated as a provincially significant Class 2 wetland in 1983, using the first edition manual for wetland evaluations. Since this inventory of species and fauna, the Marsh has not been formally assessed or monitored. However, a significant number of surveys and avocational data have been compiled by naturalists who frequent the area. This information has been collected over about 30 years and provides an historical overview of the Marsh and its inhabitants. In addition, the lists of sighted species can be used to compare the Marsh's current inhabitants to those who occupied or visited the Marsh prior to and during the early years of St. Marys quarrying operations. A cursory review of this information suggests that the Westside Marsh is home to: • more than 500 species of plants and animals; • 4 species of reptiles, 6 species of amphibians, 20 species of mammals and undetermined species of insects; • 3 breeding and 3non-breeding provincially significant bird species; • significant plant species in the buffer areas surrounding the Marsh; • northern pike for sport fishing; and • a variety of other fish. Westside Marsh is a complex ecosystem on which a variety of species depend for breeding and non-breeding habitat, and which contains an array of plant and animal life. However, those without first hand knowledge of the Marsh or without access to the avocational data and studies concerning the Marsh would likely not have gained a realistic understanding of the Marsh and its inhabitants from information presented by St. Marys and their consultants during the Public Discussion Sessions. The impression given by St. Marys' description of the Marsh was that it contained little of significance, that species that were present were generally unappealing or without value (such as carp and bullhead) and that, in general, the Marsh was "limited" in terms of its environmental value. Although St. Marys has commissioned studies of the Marsh during the past year or two, neither the scope of these undertakings nor the results of the surveys and field reports are available. i~ APPENDIX D - - - Public Consultation In this time of increasing public interest and concern about the health of our planet, public consultation is considered an essential aspect of any major undertaking that may result in environmental consequences. Certainly the destruction of a 46 hectare provincially significant marsh qualifies as an undertaking with environmental consequences. However, those with an interest in the future of Westside Marsh have consistently been denied access to information related to St. Marys proposal. Requests to St. Marys for information or meetings have been refused or ignored and requests that regulatory agencies release information related to applications typically result in objections by St. Marys to release documents. For example: • St. Marys' application to divert the Westside Creek under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act was submitted in December, 1992 but has not yet been circulated to commenting agencies or made available to the public; • written and verbal requests by residents to meet with St. Marys to discuss the proposed diversion of Westside Creek and to have access to the various reports used to determine the preferred course of action have been denied or ignored; • baseline assessments of the Marsh undertaken by St. Marys to support their application for the necessary approvals to proceed are not publically available; and • the Port Darlington Community Association has applied under Freedom of Information and Access to Information to review reports and studies related to the environmental impacts associated with quarrying of the Westside Marsh. St. Marys has applied to both provincial and federal courts to prevent the release of this important information. Full public consultation is required to adequately assess: • Terms of Reference for Baseline Monitoring undertaken on behalf of St. Marys; • complete field reports and species inventories compiled during this monitoring; • actual dates of field studies; • significant species that are dependent on the area to be quarried; • studies of all fish; • . environmental impact assessment of quarrying some or all of Westside Marsh; and • any applications and supporting documentation for approvals to proceed including applications under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act and the Fisheries Act. i~ i~ APPENDIX E ~ Licensing of Aggregate Operations In 1966 St. Marys' property was rezoned to permit the operation of a quarry in Bowmanville on their 252.38 hectare site. A licence, subsequently issued under the Pits and Quames Control, was most recently renewed on May 14, 1990 under the new Aggregate Resources Act. This licence contains one condition: It is a condition of this licence that no more than 3, 000, 000 tonnes of material shall be removed from the licensed property in any calendar year. During the period of time that St. Marys has been quarrying in Bowmanville, concerns regarding the impacts of industrial activities on the environment have grown substantially. In order to control these impacts, environmental performance standards are increasingly being imposed to ensure that industrial and commercial operations perform in an acceptable manner. According to Aggregate Resources of Southern Ontario - A State of the Resource Study, December 1992, environmental performance standards are also being imposed on the aggregate industry through Ontario Municipal Board decisions, MNR staff and the Minister of Natural Resources. In comparison to the one condition under which St. Marys operates, a licence to quarry aggregate in Ontario in 1992 would typically include some or all of 55 typical conditions in the following categories: water, archeological, environmental, operations, noise, dust, haul routes and transportation, rehabilitation and after-use. Examples of Licence Conditions The licensee shall provide a detailed surface water drainage plan which will describe the existing surface water in and surrounding the site and the proposed water diversion, storage and drainage facilities on the site, and points of discharge to surface waters. Pit operations shall not result in a net loss offish habitat in the creek or its tributaries. The licensee shall provide the MNR District Manager with a detailed wetland habitat monitoring report which will outline a program designed to measwe ecological changes in those parts of the wetland adjacent to extraction operations carved out under this licence. Aggregate extraction operations, aggregate processing operations and construction operations, including top soil stripping and landscaping, shall be confined to the period between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and to the period between 7:00 a.m. and noon on Satwdays and these operations shall not be carried out on Sundays or on statutory holidays. The applicant will house all civshers and screens and use baffles and bamers where feasible to reduce noise. No more than one drag line operation and no more than one front end loader shall operate si-nultaneously within 500 metres of any residuice. n r APPENDIX F - Alternatives to the Quarrying of Westside Marsh St. Marys presented a number of options which had been considered as alternatives to the quarrying of Westside Marsh and rejected as unacceptable. Limited information was provided on which to assess the true economic or environmental feasibility of these alternatives. Therefore, it would appear that these alternatives require more thorough examination and a number of other options should be considered. Options which require further scrutiny include: • importation of limited quantities of low carbonate aggregate to blend with Phase 2 high carbonate aggregate; • importation of limited quantities of aggregate throughout Phase 2 and Phase 4 in order to extend production; r • marketing Phase 2 high carbonate aggregate without blending; • quarrying Phase 4 rather than Phase 3 following Phase 2; • quarrying of the north Ontario Hydro property, in terms of quantities of available aggregate and options to tunnel under or bridge the CN tracks; • quarrying of the south Ontario Hydro property, in terms of availability of property given the cancellation of Darlington B and Hydro's recent decision to explore alternative sources of power; and • quarrying of Waverley Road and its right of way, in terms of alternate routes for access to Cedarcrest Beach Road and available aggregate.

As you know, on January 1 Rogers Cablesystems introduced seven new Canadian specialty networks. These networks were licensed by the CRTC to increase the diversity of Canadian programming. Until the technology to allow consumers to choose and pay for only those networks which they select is available, cable TV services must be offered in packages. At Rogers, we tried to provide a broader range of choice within the limits of current technology. Our customers could either take the new services in addition to what they currently have or select one of two alternative service packages. We had designed these alternative packages to appeal to different types of viewers -- one package for the sports viewer and the other for the viewer with greater interests in dramatic entertainment and the arts. We now know that we made a mistake, and on January 5, 1995 we publicly apologized to our customers. Our customers have told us most explicitly that they would like to have the choice of keeping what they have, at the same price. After listening carefully to our customers, we are making the following changes; • All Rogers Cablesystems customers will have the choice of keeping their current package of the specialty networks at the same monthly rate of $5.45. • The new Canadian specialty networks will be offered as an add-on to the current package of specialty networks for an additional $2.65 per month, unless customers do not want them. As well, customers can choose to receive the new Canadian specialty networks as a stand-alone package for $5.45 per month. J R~GERS Royers Cable T.V. Limited ;U1 M.~rwooi.l Drive r.V~.nu~.

We will also communicate these changes to our customers through newspapers advertising and other local media, over the next few months. • We have increased staff on our telephones and will operate 24 hours a day to answer customer calls. We also have installed new customer service fax machines which can be reached by dialling 1-800-331-2322. In addition, customers can also reach us through the Internet at cabletv~rci.rogers.com The way in which we offer these cable TV packages allows customers to receive all cable specialty networks at the lowest price possible. Our billing practice tries to minimize the inconvenience to the majority of our customers who will want to continue to receive the new Canadian specialty networks in addition to their current package. We are also working with the appropriate provincial government ministries to satisfy consumer concerns. I have attached a copy of the media release and newspaper ad that announced these changes, as well as the most recently mailed brochure which provided customers with detail programming information about the new specialty networks. To keep you apprised of our activities, I will send you a package of the two upcoming communications when they are sent to our customers. In the event that you receive calls from your constituents, I would appreciate it if you would direct these calls to my attention.

R6GER5 CablesysteMs ROGERS CHANGES PRICING AND OPTIONS ON NEW SERVICES Toronto, January 5, 1995 ... Rogers Cablesystems announced today changes in the channel line-ups and packaging of channels in response to subscriber reaction to the introduction and pricing of new services on January 1st. The changes are: 1. All Rogers Cablesystems customers will now have the choice of keeping their current package of specialty channels at the old price. 2. There will be a separate package of new Canadian services which will be offered at 52.65 per month unless subscribers do not want them. 3. The free preview period for these new Canadian networks will be extended another month to February 28, 1995. 4. All Rogers customers will receive two additional letters informing them of these changes with clear instructions on how they will be able to choose the package they want to receive. A special fax number will be provided. The second package will include a postage paid business reply card. Rogers will make it as easy as possible for its subscribers to let the company know which option they wish to choose. 5. Rogers will hire additional telephone answering staff and operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week to answer calls. Additional fax machines will be installed. 6. The cost of this change to the company will be a minimum of 830 million. It is important to note that the company expects it will Ll4I make any money on this new tier. "Our customers have spoken, and we are responding," Colin Watson, President of Rogers Cablesystems said at a Vancouver news conference. "We now know we made a mistake and we apologize to our customers. Our customers have told us they want the choice of not changing. They want to stay with what they have at the same price. This is what we are offering. Our subscribers will be able to stay where they are at the same prices as now." "In the not too distant future, Rogers Cablesystems will have the technology in place to allow customers to choose only those services they wish to receive," he added.

Expert advice CHRIS BRAIDEN, superintendent (retired), Edmonton Police Service, served 32 years with the Edmonton Police Service. He was instrumental in ''` the implementation of neighbourhood foot patrols and spearheaded the team charged with reorganizing and restructuring the service around a community-based model. Braiden has been seconded to the provincial and federal solicitor generals' departments as special advisor on police matters and has assisted the governments of Japan, France and Australia with policing matters. He has authored numerous publications and has extensive experience in consulting with police agencies, academic groups and justice-related organizations on conceiving, planning and implementing their vision for their communities. DR. LAWRENCE SHERMAN, chief criminologist, Indianapolis Police Department is also professor of criminology at the University of Maryland at College Park and adjunct professor of law at the Australian National University in Canberra. He began his career as an aide to the police commissioner and . research analyst with the New York City Police, and has worked with over 30 police agencies in the United States and abroad. He won national acclaim for his most recent book Policing Domestic Violence (Free Press 1992) and his work on "hot spots" of crime, crime prevention and homicide was recently recognized by the national Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences for "outstanding contributions to criminal justice." As the president of the Crime Control Institute and Crime Control Research Corporation, Sherman provides consulting services to shopping malls, hotels, convenience stores, banks and law firms. He has testified as an expert witness in courts of 10 states and three federal jurisdictions, primarily on matters of private security standards and crime causation. He edits the Security Law Newsletter with his wife Eva. CHIEF JERRY SANDERS, San Diego Police Department, California, served in all ranks of the department prior to his appointment to chief in 1993. He is a board member of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, the San Diego University President's Community Advisory Board, the Children's Initiative, the Youth Economic Enterprise Zones, and serves on the Community Leaders Advisory Board of ElderHelp of San Diego. Sanders is recognized for establishing the Neighbourhood Policing Restructuring project, designed to realign the "beat" system around the individual communities in the city and strengthen and expand neighbourhood policing throughout the department. He has introduced a community computer bulletin board which enables citizens to access city and neighbourhood crime statistics and other police- related information. TOM POTTER, chief (retired), Portland Police Bureau, began his police career with the Portland Police Bureau in 1966. He developed the community-based policing proposal for Portland in 1988, coordinated the research process which defined public interest in community-based policing, and determined the feasibility and viability of proceeding with the proposed model. In 1990, Potter was promoted to chief. As chief, he devoted his effort to restructuring the Portland Police Bureau to ensure that community- based policing principles were institutionalized throughout the organization. He emphasizes that community policing is not a specialized function or an attachment to the organization, but must be thoroughly integrated into all aspects of policing. Potter has been instrumental in the development of P.O.S.T. (police officer standards and training) initiatives and is currently pursuing his interests in training and technology as a change management instructor and as a consultant to COPS (policing portion of U.S. federal crime bill) on community- based policing issues. NUMEROUS OTHER EXPERTS will present materials in their area of specialization and will be available to answer questions and share their expertise with course participants throughout the seminar. i~ Stimulating seminar format The seminar will be participatory in nature and will use group sessions, panel discussions and case studies to ensure participants internalize learning through diverse examples.

Re: INDECENT EXPOSURE (to liabEity) -Municipalities at Risk The Ministry of Housing, with the participation of Jeff Levitt, Solicitor, Ministry of the Attorney General and Frank Cowan Company, Insurance Manager for Public Entities, will be presenting 'Risk Management' seminars throughout the Province, from February to the end of April, 1995. Dramatic changes in the legal principles relating to municipal liability have taken place in the last 10 years. In fact, a recent series of articles in "Municipal World" referred to municipalities as 'The Defendants of the 90s". The adoption of risk management strategies is an effective means for municipalities to cope with this increased potential for liability. Our one day seminars will explain basic principles of risk management, and provide an example of how these principles can be applied to one of your municipality's responsibilities -the building permit and inspection process. The good news is that the risk management techniques employed in the building "~ permit and inspection processes have application elsewhere in the municipal organization -the Planning and Clerks Departments, as well as the Parks, Roads and Fire Departments. As a result, these seminars should equip all municipal officials, including politicians, with the risk management basics that permit reasoned decision making at a variety of levels. These informative sessions will increase public safety, reduce stress and save you time and money, by helping you focus municipal concerns and actions efficiently.

"Indecent Exposure -Councils and Building Departments in a Risky Business" is a one day seminar examining risk management principles and strategies for managing the risk of liability associated with the building permit and inspection process. The risk management techniques to be discussed are applicable to other municipal departments (i.e. fire, public works, planning, by-law enforcement, etc.). Upon completion of the seminar, Councillors and municipal officials will possess the risk management basics that permit cautious and reasonable approaches to decision making. The seminar will also familiarise Councillors, Clerks, Chief Building Officials and builders with their roles and responsibilities under the Building Code Act, 1992 and Building Code.

Receives this report for information; and 2. Forwards this report to the local area municipalities. REPORT: 1. On December 9, 1992, Regional Council endorsed the Model By-Law Regulat~'ng Smoking in Public Places (Appendix A) that was appended to Report #92-MOH•73. Since then, the Health Department has worked closely with the residents and municipal staff of local area municipalities to promote the enactment or strengthening of local smoking by-laws using the Model By-Law as a guide. 2. Table A includes a summary of local smoking by-laws and compares them with the Maiel Bye-Law and Ontario's Tobacco Control Ad which was proclaimed on November 30,1994. The table shows that, from December 1992 to date, six area municipalities have either enacted new smoking by-laws or strengthened existing ones. Respectfully submitted, R.J.

Deputy Clerk Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance St. BOWMANVILLE, Ontario L1C 3A6 Dear Ms. Knight: The purpose of this letter is to advise you that the Council of the Township of Scugog endorsed the Municipality of Clarington's position with respect to the Province's decision to charge a fee for supplementary assessments. The Council enacted it's own resolution, a copy of which was sent to the Region as well as the School Boards and the local members of parliament.

Moved by: Councillor Christie Seconded by: Councillor Pearce WHEREAS the Township of Scugog feels that the Provincial • imposition of a fee for Supplementary A-st is unduly burdensome to Municipalities and in consideration of the significant share of the tax dollars attributable to the Region and School Boards, and recognizing that considerable time would be required by the Province to implement legislation to enforce the sharing of the fee; NOW THEREFORE it is hereby requested "that the Region of Durham, the Durham Board of Education and the Durham Separate School Board be requested to include in their 1995 and future budgets an allocation for their proportional share of the foe for supplementary assessments and further, that this Resolution be forwarded to the Region of Durham, the Durham Board of Education, the Durham Separate School Board and the local members. . Carried 35 4 I _ . - ra. ~ i ~ ~ ; ® ~~ •~r Orra:~o ------'------- Office of the Ministry of Ministere des Minister Municipal Affaires Bureau du Affairs mur~icipales ministre January 17, 1995 Dear Head of Council: COUNCIL INFORMATION ! ;`~ `~ ~ : .r t•;'_r 777 Bay Street v ~ i I~ I~~ ,', ~ Toronto, Ontario M5G 2E5 (416)585-7000 L-17 ~. . 777, rue say Toronto (Ontario) M5G 2E5 (416)585-7000 I am writing as we begin 1995 to bring you up to date on a number of legislative changes and other provincial initiatives that will be of interest to municipalities. The past year has been busy and productive for the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, and the government has taken a number of important steps to help local governments meet people's needs. First, and perhaps most important is the planning reform and open local government legislation -- Bill 163 -- which received Royal Assent on December 9. I am pleased to provide you with a copy of the new legislation. You should by now have also received, as part of another mailing, a copy of Ontario's New Planning System, an outline of the new legislation and planning reform package. As you probably know by now, parts of the legislation were proclaimed January 1, 1995, and are now in effect. As of January 1, municipat councils and most local boards are required to conduct their business, with a few very limited exceptions, in public. They are also required to follow strict procedures for the disposal of surplus land.. I know most of you already conduct your business in the open, but I encourage you to review your procedures to make sure they comply with both the letter and the spirit of the new legislation. Also on January 1, the new Ontario Planning and Development Act (OPDA) was proclaimed. The OPDA, part of the planning reform package, reinforces the policy-setting role of the province. It allows the province to prepare development plans in specific areas. Amendments to the Planning Act, which will fundamentally change the way planning is done in Ontario, will be proclaimed March 1, at which point the policy statements and related regulations will also come into effect. THE LEGISLATION IS AVAILABLE IN THE CLERK'S DEPARTMENT. /2 t _2_ r The new Local Government Disclosure of Interest Act, including .the disclosure of financial information requirements, will be proclaimed April 15. Secondly, I am pleased as well to enclose a copy of Bill 198, which became law in December. It gives municipalities additional licensing powers they can use to control after hours clubs and other late night businesses. These and other legislative amendments affecting municipalities are outlined in the Legislation Update enclosed with this letter. I am also pleased to enclose information on the Municipal Amendment Act (Vital Services) -- Bill 104 -- which is particularly important at this time of year because it gives municipalities the power to make sure tenants do not have their heat or power. fumed off if their landlord .fails to pay the utility bill. The information I am enclosing will. help municipalities decide whether to exercise such powers, and if so, how to go about it. Finally, I am also enclosing an update on the municipal debt and financial obligation limit. The rules in this area changed as of January 1, and the Iviinistry has already informed treasurers of each municipality's new limit. Over the last year I have very much enjoyed working in cooperation with municipal leaders to better meet the needs of the people of Ontario. I look forward to continuing this productive relationship as we face the new challenges of 1995. Sincerely, 1 _E;;E{ __~ ..... ,: , , ,,.~ Ed Philip f ,;'.

Bill 163 Planning and Municipal Statute Law Amendment Act, 1994, Royal Assent December 9, 1994. The Act comes into effect upon proclamation. As noted, different parts of the Act will come into effect atdifferent times. Provisions - dealing with Open Meetings and Disposal of Property and the new Ontario Planning and Development Act were proclaimed on January 1, 1995. Proclamation of the Planning Reform provisions and the new Local Disclosure of Interest Act is planned for the spring of -1995. A copy of the Bill is enclosed. Bill 198 Municipal and Liquor Licensing Statute Law Amendment Act, 1994 received first reading November 24, 1994 and Royal Assent on December 9, 1994. The Act comes into effect upon Royal Assent. The Act contains a number of amendments to the Municipal Act, the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Act, and several regional municipality acts with respect to municipal licensing and enforcement powers. These amendments enhance the authority of municipalities to revoke, suspend. or refuse to issue a licence, and to impose conditions on a licensee including limiting hours. The Act also amends the Liquor Licence Act with respect to enforcement powers to permit revocation of special occasion permits when there are reasonable grounds to believe the Act is being contravened, to allow entry and require vacating of premises and to seize liquor sold illegally. Bill 175 Statute Law Amendment Act (Government Management and Services), 1994 received Royal Assent on December 9, 1994. The Act contains amendments to legislation administered by 14 Ministries. Of particular interest to municipalities are amendments from: • The Ministry of the Attorney General, relating to corrupt electoral practices, the filing of complaints and appeals of real property assessments, and the efficiency of tribunal hearings (Statutory Powers Procedure Act); • The Ministry of Education and Training, relating to school board elections and financial statements; • The Ministry of Municipal Affairs, changing the last two "improvement districts" into townships, streanilining certain procedures under the Municipal Tax Sales Act, and exempting taxis carrying handicapped persons from municipal bylaws that allow only locally-licensed vehicles to pick up passengers in a municipality. This last change would allow a handicapped person to arrange for a taxi to make a return trip across a municipal boundary; t • The Ministry of Natural Resources, relating to the creation of conservation easements; • The Ministry of Transportation, to streamline the payment of transit subsidies to municipalities under the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act, and to streamline government purchasing by abolishing- the restriction that prevents the province from directly assisting purchases of transit equipment for municipalities. Bill 185 Power Corporation Amendment Act, 1994 received Royal Assent on December 9, 1994. The Act provides the framework for municipal electric power commissions to expand the areas that they service by accepting a transfer of facilities and, where necessary, staff from Ontario Hydro with respect to the added areas. It also provides that Ontario Hydro, where applicable, will give an electric commission alive-year phase-out subsidy to cover exorbitant costs. Private Members Bills enacted during the 35th Parliament which affect municipalities. Bill 183- Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Amendment Act, 1994 (Vendor Regulation) received Royal Assent on December 9, 1994. This private members' bill provides increased authority for Metro and its area municipalities to regulate street vendors and includes authority to set up different types of vending zones and issue permits for vendors in zones where vending is permitted. Goods and equipment of vendors without a permit may be seized. Bill 191 Municipal Elections Amendment Act, 1994, received Royal Assent on December 9, 1994 but only comes into effect on proclamation to enable time for municipal consultation. The private members' bill requires every polling place to be open at every election from 8 am to 8 pm. . Bill 104 Municipal Amendment Act (Vital Services), 1994 received Royal Assent on June 23, 1994. This private member's bill enables municipalities to ensure that vital services are provided to tenants in instances where landlords fail in their obligation to provide the services. Guidelines to this legislation are enclosed. Bill 21 Land Lease Statute Law Amendment Act, 1994 received Royal Assent on June 23, 1994. The Bill expands the application of Part IV of the Landlord and Tenant Act to tenants who lease land for use as the site for their land lease community homes. It also amends the Planning Act to expand the application of section 46 of the Planning Act to-land lease community homes and the application of the site plan control provisions to sites for three or more land lease community homes. The Rental Housing Protection Act is amended.to bring leased land used as the site for a mobile home or a land lease community home within the protection of the Act. 2 Private Bills Dealing with Tax Exemptions During the 35th Parliament, the Committee on Regulations and Private Bills dealt with a number of applications for private legislation from charitable organizations for exemptions for municipal and school taxes. The Committee deferred a number of these applications until the organization had obtained resolutions of support from all municipalities and school boards with jurisdiction in the area which could be affected by the tax exemption request. Private Bills which were enacted were also substantially revised to ensure that the accountable municipality and school board would be enabled to pass by-laws or resolutions to bring the exemption into effect, set conditions for the exemption and withdraw the exemption. The Committee also a that at the be ' of the next session it would set aside time g~ ~ gig to review procedures regarding tax exemption applications. Or anizations munici 'ties and school boards which are considerin lications of this g ~ 1~ S aPP nature are advised to contact the Clerk of the Committee on Regulations and Private Bills or the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Municipal Finance Branch for further information on this issue. 7 3 t ~7 UPDATE ON MUNICIPAL DEBT AND FINANCIAL OBLIGATION LIlVIIT The enactment of Bill 165 and the passage of O. Reg. 710/92 have streamlined the capital approval process. Municipalities are not required to seek prior Ontario Municipal Board approval to undertake long-term debt or financial obligations if they are within their prescribed debt limits as updated by the municipalities. It was agreed when O. Reg. 710/92 was passed that, as a temporary measure, municipal debt limits would be calculated in a way similar to the OMB's method but that there would be a review of the calculation method. The review was necessary because the OMB method was not in line with current practices of the investment community and used revenue fund expenditures, including welfare, as basis for calculating debt limits. The review was carried out by a committee comprising representatives of the municipal sector, the investment community and the Province, and chaired by a municipal representative. It recommended that no more than 25 4b of own-source revenues be dedicated to debt service. This has. been approved by all interested parties, namely representatives of the municipal sector, the investment community and the Province. The regulation has been amended accordingly. It was also necessary to amend O. Reg. 710/92 to provide for changes in the Provincial new capital financing approach which results in the grant-based system being changed to a loan- based system. These changes have now been incorporated in the regulation and came into force on January 1, 1995. As was the case with O. Reg. 710/92, the project-by-project approval by the OMB is no longer be required if the long-term financial commitment associated with a project is within a municipality's repayment 1unit. The municipality must seek approval of the OMB for any undertaking which will cause the limit to be exceeded. As before, under the new regulation (O. Reg. 799/94), the ministry will calculate the annual repayment limit for each municipality and inform the treasurer of this limit. Prior to authorizing any additional long-term debt or financial obligation to be incurred, the council will have to ensure that the most recent limit provided by the ministry is updated by the treasurer to reflect changes in the annual payments level of the municipality. The ministry has already forwarded your municipality's limit to the treasurer along with a copy of a bulletin providing further details on the new method for calculating debt limits. The new method better reflects the municipality's ability to service long-term debt and is in line with current practices in the investment community. Further information is available from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs Regional Office in your area. t D KJ ~~ .~ CH-IN CANADA r _ unding member ,~ SEAN WORLD NATIONAL works in ~Opefatl0n Wlth dory Councils in Columbia erta a- tchewan oba io w Brunswick nnce Edward Island e? undland west Territories Territory and h - ntario a ation of Anglers unters e Clean Nova cotta Foundation ' and i!!-,'V ~I~~ NEP PITCH-IN CANADA COUNCIL INFORMATION Waste mans ement... in action! ~ ~ T~`"'- National Office ;~,~ ''~ ~.:,,.

Hamm Industries was established in 1974 and has provided other services to PITCH-IN for several years. "We look forward to serving PITCH-IN volunteers through the Order Centre", says Sheita Horsfall, Executive Director of Hemm. All Local Governments Asked To Support PITCH-IN Local governments have been asked to provide financial support to the 1995 PITCH-IN WEEK program to ensure that the program will continue. "In addition to the environment, irs local governments who have the most to lose if PITCH-IN WEEK disappears", says Bette Ballhorn, Chair of PITCH-IN CANADA's Board of Directors. Canadian communities have experienced a significant increase in illegal dumping. This has renewed interest in voluntary action to control the cost of clean-up. Increased tipping fees and the banning of certain waste from landfills, in order to encourage the reduction and recycling of waste, has resulted in some individuals dumping their debris in vacant lots, ravines and other areas. PITCH-IN CANADA is anon-profit voluntary organization. "We depend on not only hundreds of thousands of volunteers but also on local governments to enable us to continue to support them". Participants in PITCH-IN are requested to contact their local governments to encourage them to provide support. OUR NEEDS!

It is the world's first comprehensive program of this size to identify the sources of marine debris washing up on shorelines. Building on methodology formulated by Trevor Dixon in the United Kingdom, PITCH-IN CANADA fine-tuned the research program for Canadian conditions utilizing results from pilot research undertaken by the organization in 1991. The program receives ongoing support from Environment Canada's Marine Environment Division and has attracted other private sector support from Alr Canada, Jantzen Canada and EPIC. Marine debris has become a major problem in recent years as a result of increased shipping, coastal populations and use of long-lasting synthetic fibres. "Environment Canada is committed to this program and will take a serious review of the data which will be collected", comments Paul Topping, an Environment Canada official in Ottawa. PITCH-IN CANADA has been active in cleaning up marine debris since 1967 when it was founded in Victoria, B.C. by several volunteers including Allard van Veen, the organization's President who, along with Valerie Thom, has been instrumental in designing the National Marine Debris Surveillance Program. - - PITCH•IN NEWS is published by PITCti•IN CANADA, a national; non•protlY charitable organization founded In 1967 'to conduct ~ environmental education and improvement programs, emphasizing the Ilttercontrol and recycling aspects of solid waste management.

Like many citizens and municipal of1"icials across Ontario, OPERA views with grave concern Bill 163, a sweeping revision of the Ontario Planning Act recently legislated into law at Queen's Park. This Bill requires elected municipal governments to "rubber-stamp" the planning dictates of unelected provincial bureaucracies and transfers to state control allowable use of private prop- erty without notice or capital compensation to affected owners. Preliminary estimates of Bill 163 implementation/administration costs to Ontario municipalities and property owners are enclosed. We ask and will appreciate careful study of these calculations by your Council. Meanwhile, please note the regional council of Ottawa-Carleton last summer deferred planning recognition of Provincial Wetland Policy pending a 12 month review by a 9 member Advisory Committee with at least 3 affected landowners and, a welcome change, no provincial government intervention. A suggested municipal Resolution is also enclosed in the hope your Council might join other Ontario municipalities to record its official opposition to implementation of Bill 163 pending a judicial enquiry and searching public review.

Unfortunately the trend is also reflected in our schools. This is not an issue that we can solve alone. We need to involve the whole community in searching for solutions. That's why the Ontario Ministry of Education and Training has declared April 1995 to be Safe Schools Month. We believe that the activities planned for this month will help to develop a shared sense of responsibility for dealing with the problems of violence. We hope that municipalities across the province will join us by declaring. Safe Schools Month locally. This would be an opportunity for you to highlight some of the excellent work that is being done in your area. Ministry initiatives for the month will include aviolence-prevention package for elementary school children in conjunction with ananti-violence media campaign that will reach out to teens.

This year the official dates for this week are Monday, May 1st to Sunday, May 7th. The Durham Branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association would like to take this opportunity to ask you to officially proclaim May 1-7, "Mental Health Week" in the Municipality of Clarington. As you know, the purpose of Mental Health Week is to remind our fellow citizens of the importance of emotional well-being and to alert them to the issues surrounding mental health in our community. The 1995 Mental Health Week theme of Social Support will encourage all Canadians to seek the social support networks around them, including understanding family, friends and co- workers, for mental and physical wellness. We would appreciate your help in supporting our efforts by officially Health Week in the Municipality of Clarington.

PATTI BARRIE Dear Mrs. Patti Barrie: RE: PART OF LOT 5, C70NCESSION 1, being municipally known as 2916 Highway Number 2, RR#4, Bawmanville, Ontario Please be advised that I am the Solicitor for KLAUS KRUEGER, the owner of the above property who has been informed that there is a possibility that the Development Charges By-Law Number 92/105 of the Municipality may apply to this property. In order to resolve this issue, I on behalf of the said owner, would request that the owner be formally given an exemption from By-Law Number 92/105 and that no Development Charges or similar levies be attached to the subject property due to the fact there stood on this property a single family detached residence which was d~naged by fire in 1982. For three years this structure deteriorated pending the finalization of the fire insurance settlement. Subsequently the said residence was torn down as it was not economically feasable to repair same, and was a liability, a danger, and an eyesore. It should be noted that the Regional Municipality of Durham in similar. circumstances exempts properties from Development Charge Levies. Any other resolution would have the effect of penalizing a homeowner due to a tragedy not of his or her own making. I would kindly ask that this letter be presented to the Mayor and Council of the Municipality of Clarington for their consideration in the granting of an exemption from the Development Charges and other similar charges and levies as they relate to this property and that permission be granted to the writer to appear before the Mayor and Council in support of this request for a formal exemption and clarification. Kindly inform the writer of the date, place and time when the Mayor and Council will consider the above matter. ~rn Yo t t JAN 25 '95 10:03AM GM CUSTOMS OSHAWA COUNCIL DIRECTION Jan. 25th, 1995 Municipal ~~e AGENDA Town of Clarington 40 Temperance St. Bowmanviile, pntario Atten Mayor Harare Re: Kinsmen and Kinette Week in Clariugtoa bear Mayor Harare P.1 D-7 As ou are aware the week of February 19th to 2Sth, has traditionally been Kinsmen V~leek in Y the Town of Ciarington, with February 20th being declared Kinsmen Day.

Due to the fact that there are no atop signs between the aforementioned streets, vehicles drive far too fast and dangerously on Edward Street. Having observed instances of "races" between vehicles, driving at top speeds on the wrong sides of the road, screeching tires to avoid pets and children, and general speeding and careless driving, this residential street is a tragedy waiting to happen. Many sipailar streets in the Durham region have used "traffic calmers" or speed bumps to control the dangerous driving habits of people tempted by a long stretch of residential road. A brief observation of the situation by any one of you would reveal the inforanation I have just given you and it would warrant traffic control mechanisms. Please stop a dangerous situation by putting in the appropriate signs or traffic calmers on Edward Street. I understand this issue has been brought to your attention in the past and t e issue has gone unnoticed.

Hamre Jan. 18, 1995 Mayor of The Municipality of Clari~ng~tq ,.; ,,t ~,,,- From: Libb Racansky AGENDA FAX (905)837-6680 1. We are sending you PETITION stating opposition to the proposed Hwy #407 and Freeway Link and to the North Courtice Development (3A,B,C-between Tooley- Tru11s-Courtice and Hancock roads from Hwy #2 to Taunton Rd. ). 2. We require a WATERSHED STUDY to be done for Farewell and Black Creek before any development will take place in this area (including HWY ~` 407/Link). 3. We require public disclosure of the cost and environmental impact on the community as it relates to the proposed development (Residential tax). PETITION: The Clarington Official Plan states that it provides a vision for future growth and development, fostering physical and social well-being of the residents of Clarington, and creates a guide for the environmental and social health of the communities (pg. 1, 1.2a & d). The result of the "extensive consultation" (pg. 2) are not reflected in the plan. Only the views of a few landowners and developers are. Instead of working with and including the natural features (woodlots, etc.) present, they are being removed and only absolute minimum setbacks from creeks are in place. One of the basis of this plan (pg.5, 2g), that agriculture will continue to be a viable economic activity, is not taken into consideration in the plan itself. Proof of this is that Hwy 407 and its link will run through some of Canada's best agricultural land, instead of finding an alternative route. Creating a "healthy community" (pgs 5 & 6) is impossible without including our woodlands, creeks and wetlands. Without these there won't be any "nurturing" of our health and well-being. The plan states that "participation of residents will 6e encouraged in the process of community-building and decisions which affect our lives" (pg.7). Please keep these objectives in mind when reviewing petitions such as this, and have your plan reflect your policies. -- ,--~ -~ oC . ~ :.- .. __-.-..

Mayor Hamre is quoted in the article as staring that the Muniapalily's primary concern is to protect the residential neighbours of Mosport. The article also highlights details of an agreement which was being negotiated between Mosport and representatives of the Municipality fast year, but which was never endorsed by the Clarington Council because of the decision to appeal. The details as outlined in this article did not originate with Mr. Stockwell or Mosport's representatives, but was in fact the result of a dedicated effort by Coundllors Novak and Hannah, in consuithtion with affected Mosport area residents, in an attempt to establish some minimum groundrules which would reduce the problems the residents have experienced from previous concerts at Mosport. Chief Administrative Officer Bill Stockwell is quoted in this article as saying he will be meeting with Mosport's lawyers and in reference states " 1 think we'll come out with something." Does this statement by Mr. Stockwell imply he will be finalizing some sort of negotiation, or is Mr. Stockwell under direction by Counai to negotiate within some sort of formalized framework which recognizes the muniapality's and affected residents concerns? h would appear that some sort of public meetings should be held to discuss this issue openly and to answer the concems of local ratepayers who will be impacted by a change in use of Mosport lands which will permit stand alone concerts. Mayor Hamre has already stated her concem in protecting the local residential neighbours of Mosport and we would expect Mr. Stockwell to follow her lead. The best way to gain insight into the concerns of the local residents woukf be for Council and the Muniapal administrators to conduct a public meeting. The North Clarington Ratepayers assodation would be glad to assist in facilitating such a meeting. Certainly our Association would be glad to meet with Council for a further exchange of ideas. ~ .-; •: 5 `~_ I look forward to hearing ftom you. ~ ' Respectfully Yours ~ r ~! ' _ C.R.

In addition, notices were also posted on sites prior to December 23, 1994. This notice procedure is in compliance to Ontario Regulation 404/83. The Chairman announced that the Director of Planning and Development would describe the purpose and effect of the proposed amendments, then the objectors would be heard, followed by the supporters and the applicant. (a) Report PD-4-95 - W.E. Roth Construction Limited -the purpose and effect of the application is to permit the development of a gas bar and kiosk, and a 600 square metre structure for an eating establishment and convenience commercial use. Bill Paterson, 1909 Bloor Street East, R.R. #2, Bowmanville, l1C 3K3 - advised that he was appearing on behalf of approximately 50 residents of the area who oppose this application for the following reasons: -the commercial component would be an intrusion of privacy on the residents of this agricultural area; - Ebenezer Church is located directly across the street; - the gas station would generate unpleasant smells; - additional noise would be generated from the traffic; -this is one of the most hazardous intersections in the area and the speed of Courtice Road is 80 km/hr; - the gas bar and restaurant are not necessary considering that these two services are available at the south end of Courtice Road; - this site could become a potential hangout which may lead to crime; - it is an ill conceived project which is not compatible with surrounding uses. if Mr. Paterson concluded by stating that this development is "not wanted" by the residents of the area.

Morgan Buzza, 2252 Courtice Road, Courtice, L1 E 2MB -concurred with the remarks made by Mr. Paterson and noted that approval of this application, which she referred to as "leap frogging development", would create a negative precedent. Alex Buksa, 2265 Hancock Road, Courtice, L1E 2M3 -informed Members of the Committee that he has been a resident of the area for ten years and he is not opposed to this application which, in his estimation, is "change in the making".

Mr. Berk displayed an Artist's Rendering of the project and stated that this three acre parcel of land has not been used for agricultural purposes for approximately 15 years and that a much more significant use could be made of this land as a highway commercial type of designation because it immediately abuts a major north-south thoroughfare (Courtice Road) and an east-west street (Bloor Street). He noted that the applicant has no intension of providing municipal water or sewer to this site and that the commercial amenities would be serviced by the current uses of services in the area. In his estimation, the proposal will not change traffic in any way. He noted that there is a definite lack of amenities and not enough essential commercial facilities are presently in existence to service the area residents. Report PD-5-95 -Crooked Creek Golf Club -the purpose and effect of the application is to permit the development of an (18) eighteen hole golf course and club house. Evelyn Stroud, 89 Little Avenue, Bowmanville, L1C 1)9 -advised that she cannot think of a worse place to develop a golf course which necessitates the heavy use of pesticides as this site is located on environmental sensitive agricultural lands which are actively being farmed.

(c) Report PD-6-95 -John Wilson -the purpose and effect of the application is to permit the development of "general commercial uses" under the (C1) zoning category.

PD-1-95 PAGE 3 4 EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES 4.1 The subject lands are currently vacant and have been used for agricultural production in the past. 4.2 Surrounding land uses include: South: the Canadian Pacific Railway and lands currently being developed residentially through registered plans lOM-829 and lOM-830. East: agricultural land containing a residential unit, as well as lands subject to Draft Approved development application (18T-89064). North: existing units fronting of Liberty Street as well as vacant lands subject to development applications (18T-90036). West: existing strip residential fronting on Liberty Street, lands subject to development application (18T-92004), and existing residential development on the west side of Liberty Street. 5. PUBLIC MEETING AND RESPONSE 5.1 Pursuant to Council's resolution of July 26, 1982 and the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage acknowledging the application was installed on the subject lands for .both the initial notice as well as the revised application. In addition notice was mailed to all residents within the prescribed distance. 6 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 6.1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan the subject property is designated "Living Area". The living area policies encourage residential development with a variety of housing mix and type. The application would appear to conform. 6.2 Within the former Town of Newcastle Official Plan, Bowmanville Major Urban Area the subject property is located in ....4 ~. - ~-.} REPORT NO. PD-1-95 PAGE 4 Neighbourhood "2C" and is designated "Low Density Residential". Said neighbourhood has a population target of 5500 people. The 164 units is considered to be in general conformity with the neighbourhood population target. Furthermore, it would be in conformity with the 30 unit per net hectare maximum for low density designation development. 7 AGENCY COMMENTS 7.1 In accordance with departmental procedure the subject application was circulated to a number of agencies and departments for comment. 7.2 The Municipality of Clarington Public Works Department has advised that they have no objection to the application in principle, however numerous comments relating to conditions of draft approval have been provided. Public Work Staff have provided considerable discussion with respect to service connections required for the development. The servicing of this development will require the installation of sidewalks on Liberty Street which are external to the plan of subdivision. Should the application be approved, one of the condition of approval would require that prior to the development being permitted to proceed the Municipality has approved the expenditure of funds for the installation of the Liberty Street sidewalk. The Public Works Department has advised the applicant that it is his responsibility financial and otherwise to provide a satisfactory connection to the existing infrastructure of roads and sidewalks. As a result this development will be responsible for the full, reconstruction of the Liberty Street/Meadowview Boulevard/Street B intersection. In addition this work will require the purchase of road widenings at the north-east and south-west quadrants of the intersection to facilitate the re-construction of the intersection. l REPORT NO. PD-1-95 PAGE 5 The developer must satisfy the Director of Public Works and the Director of Planning and Development that they have made every effort to acquire these road widenings. In the. event that the developer is unable to acquire the required road widenings and the Director's of Public Works and Planning and Development are satisfied that all reasonable efforts have been made by the developer to acquire these lands, the Municipality may consider expropriation as a means to resolve the required acquisition. The developer will be responsible in the form of unconditional and irrevocable letters of credit for all monies to: a) appraise the value of the property; b) purchase the road widenings, including costs of expropriation; c) road reconstruction including sidewalk installation costs; and d) administration and any other cost deemed necessary by the Directors of Public Works and Planning and Development. t E The developer is responsible for a lot grading and drainage plan, detailing both major and minor storm drainage. The developer is responsible for the construction of all stormwater management works required for this sub-watershed, in accordance with the West Branch of the Soper Creek Master Drainage Study, dated May 1991. Prior to the detailed engineering submission, the developer's agent shall submit a Stormwater Management Implementation Report detailing all storm quantity and quality control facilities, erosion protection measures, conveyance of storm drainage, both major and minor systems from the site, as well as the proposed location of the storm connection. The developer shall pay his share of the Soper Creek Erosion Control Works and shall pay all legal costs associated with the preparation and execution of a pipe crossing agreement between the Municipality and the C.P.R Railway for the installation of the storm sewer beneath the railway tracks. ••••6 ~= 1 J ._~ REPORT NO. PD-1-95 PAGE 6 In addition to the above comments and conditions, a number of standard conditions of draft approval regarding, reserves, service locations, road radii, etc were requested and will be reflected in the conditions of draft approval. 7.3 The Community Services Department advised they have no objection to the application. The parkland dedication for this application will be based on the equivalent of 1 ha of land per 300 dwelling units. Block 98 will be accepted as a parkette, with any under dedication being received as cash-in- lieu of parkland. Grading for the pond (block 97) will not be accepted on the park block, and will not be part of the parkland dedication. Block 97 shall be accepted gratuitously as open space and be appropriately graded and grassed. The grading of block 97 will be such that it may accommodate a flat pedestrian access from the south-west to north-east (18T- 89064) to the satisfaction of the Director of Community .Services. Block 99 and 100, requiring berming shall also be developed and landscaped to the satisfaction of the Director of Community Services. 7.4 The Fire Department advised they have no objection to this proposal provided all access routes comply with the Ontario Fire and Building Code. 7.5 The Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Newcastle Separate School Board advised that the students generated from this development can be accommodated in the existing or proposed schools (18T-82037) and therefore have no objection. 7.6 The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education advised that they have some concern with the proposal. The Board requires sidewalks on the interior roads and sidewalks on Liberty Street. '~''.~ r ....7 REPORT NO. PD-1-95 PAGE 7 7.7 The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority has not provided formal comments on the revised plan of subdivision. Comments previously received on the original proposed plan of subdivision (May 30, 1989) advised the subject lands are located in the area being investigated by the Soper Creek Tributary Master Drainage Plan. (Said Study has since been completed). The drainage plan had identified increased flooding and erosion downstream of Concession Street as a result of development in the watershed. It has been determined that site specific flood and erosion control facilities will not be required on this site. However, downstream controls and/or easements should be in place before development of this plan. The Authority provided no objection to the approval of the application subject to a number of conditions. During more recent verbal discussion with CLOCA representatives, Staff were advised of concerns regarding the proposed pond which required attention prior to issuance of Draft Approval. Public Works Staff have no objection to the pond subject to conditions of approval. 7.8 The Canadian Pacific Railway has provided comments opposing the application as it abuts their rail corridor However, they further advised should the application be approved they have requested a number of conditions be imposed at Draft Approval. This includes a berm, or combination berm and noise attenuation fence; clauses registered on title and included in the purchase and sale agreements of specified dwellings warning of the noise and vibration; minimum dwelling setback of 30 metres; and various conditions with respect to the construction of the proposed dwellings. 7.9 The Ministry of the Environment has provided comment on the application and noise study prepared by Marshall Macklin Monaghan Limited (July 1990) and find it to be consistent with provincial policy on noise. The Ministry has provided no objection to draft approval of the application subject to conditions of approval. _ • " '8 .. ~) / REPORT NO. PD-1-95 PAGE 8 7.10 The Ministry of Natural Resources has reviewed the revised proposal and provided no objection to the development subject to conditions of approval. This includes conditions of approval with regard to stormwater management, erosion and sediment control and alterations to the watercourse. 7.11 Regional Public Works have commented that the proposed plan of subdivision is within zone II water supply system for Bowmanville. Sanitary Sewer can be provided from existing services on the south side of the C.P.R. tracks. Furthermore, they noted the need for 5.12 m road widenings and 12 x 6 metre sight triangles on Liberty Street. 8 STAFF COMMENTS 8.1 The plan of subdivision proposes to create 164 residential units and blocks for six future residential units. The subdivision will have two access points to Regional Road 14. 8.2 Staff have raised concerns with regard to the proposed north access to Liberty Street as it relates to intersection design and safety. The proposed street "B" road allowance is offset from Meadowview Boulevard on the west side of Liberty Street. The applicant's engineer has designed an intersection which attempts to align the road pavement while minimizing the area required for. road widening (Attachment No. 2). Liberty Street is under the jurisdiction of the Regional Works Department. Staff have been advised that Regional Works are satisfied with the design proposed. The Municipality's Public Works Department also concurs with the submitted design.. 8.3 In October Staff forwarded letters to the homeowners that would be impacted by the proposed widening. A copy of Attachment No. 2 was included in the correspondence to better illustrate the potential impact. Staff have not been contacted by either of the home owners in response to the ....9 .. 'J ..! G REPORT NO. PD-1-95 PAG E 9 letter. The proposed conditions of Draft Approval would provide the Municipality sufficient security for the road widening and associated construction costs. 8.4 The proposed road connections from the subdivision to the north and east, Draft Approved plans 18T-90036 and 18T-89064 respectively, appear to be consistent. The plan has a good mix of units, proposing larger singles abutting existing singles on Liberty Street, semi-detached link units generally buffering between the singles and the townhouse units, and the townhouse units are predominantly located on a single sided road. The subdivision has been designed without having residential units backing onto the railway tracks. 8.5 The C.P.R. rail corridor provides the largest noise impact on the subdivision, with Liberty Street being identified as a second source. Noise fencing is not required for the receiver area (rear yard) of .the townhouse units as a result of the design of the subdivision, however these units must be constructed with air conditioning units to mitigate noise levels. Acoustical fencing will be required in the side and rear yard locations for the first four lots abutting the open space block and closest to the railway (lots 70 to 66), for protection from the railway. Fencing will also be required for the rear and side yards of the lots abutting Liberty Street (lots 35 and 45). 8.6 Block 98 will provide for a small parkette, while the majority of the neighbourhoods park needs are being provided through adjacent and existing developments. Block 98 has been red- line revised to remove the area required for grading of the pond. The open space block will have a minimum 3:1 slope for water containment, however provision will be made for a pedestrian walkway from street A to lands to the east and north. ....10 ~~ REPORT NO. PD-1-95 PAGE 10 9 CONCLUSION 9.1 In consideration of the above noted comments Staff would recommend approval of the application for the proposed Plan of Subdivision to permit the development of a total 164 units, subject to the conditions contained in Attachment No. 3. As well, staff would recommend approval of the attached zoning by-law amendment, subject to the removal of .the holding symbol at such time as the appropriate subdivision agreement has been executed.
