Sandy Cook, 8733 Leskard Road, Orono, LOB 1M0, indicated that she has been a veterinarian for nine years and described to Council the human/animal bond and the grieving process that a pet owner goes through upon death of a pet.

The Facts: Many municipalities may still be unaware of the move by MTO~ to negotiate the transfer of provincial highways to upper-tier municipalities. In. ,discussions with MTO, AMO has confirmed that approximately 2400 km have teen targeted for transfer. AMA has made repeated requests that the Mi~listry bring the negotiating process into an open forum, however the negotiations continue to take place without the benefit of a more public discussion. Although AMO has registered Concerns directly with tlie• Minister of Transportation, he has indicated in no uncertain terms that M"TO will proceed with transfers either. by negotiation or by mandate. Members of the AMO Counties Section Executive recently met v~~ith officials from MTO to discuss this issue further. Yn their discussions they confirmed that $lthough the transfer will result in an inc;~~ased municip.~ r~;~ls inventory .the .~~g flool of funding for municipal >r grant Allnratinns will 11at be increased. .As such, this is an issue of Concern for all municipalities, regardless of whether they are involved in negotiating a transfer.

Councils may wish to determine to what extent their municipality is engaged in discussions. fn weighing the pros and cons of a tY~ansfer, municipalities shoul~:! be mindful that when the highway becomes "theirs", it will no longer be designat~ad as a provincial highway on Ontario's maps. There may be through-traffic and economic impacts to consider. As well, if you should choose to negotiate a transfer, it may be advisable to keep in close contact v-ith neighboring municipalities to facilitate a thorough assessment of impacts and considerations. Even if your municipality is nat directly affected by a transferred highway, all municipalities stand to suffer decreased road grant allocations as t:he same amount of money will eventually be directed at an increased municipal road inventory.

I want to reassure Ontario mu~aicipalities that they should pxoceed wii~th work on projects which have already been approved under the Canada Infrastructure Works Program. The February x9951~udget moved $2a0 rtuixlion of the nation-wide ~ilanned expenditures under the Infrastructure Z1Vorks program Pram x995-9b Ito 1998- 99, and at the same time extended the duration of the program from its original three year design to five years. Racont comments in the pre~~s by the Ontario Clavertunent have raised concerns among Ontario xnunaclpalil~es that already approved projects could be held up, ' The clges to the program are not major. We are aware that many municipalities have expressed interest 1n extendiAg projects and taking advantage of the extra time available. I ann. convinced that by workv:Eg together, municipalities, the province and the federal government can. find enough projects that can be implenxented aver a longer tutae frame. so that other projects can proceed as planned. Whet we need now is some c~;pen commuzticat3on and fra:~k iztformation-sharing. Of couxse, we still have to manage cash flows where we can, to ixnpl~::ment the Budget decision. New project app~~ovals and siggificarit project amendments wi11 have to be looked at as a means of moving expeadi~tureS to, the fourth and h years of the Program. This will mean some negotiation, some discussion on what projects could be shifted a bit. This is aortr-al busimess in a program of this type whexc project amendments Dave to~ be dealt with all of the tune, for a variety of reasons. xn the meantime, no one should be holding back an tenders or cantra4: is because they axe unsure that the federal governixaent will live up to itv; canvnitments under the Infrastxucture'V~orks program.

K u . ., . . RE: Gasser vs. Municipality of Clarington Property Owner Dog Euthanized I have had an opportunity to discuss the facts of this case with Ms, Gasser, a property owner in Ward 3. Ms. Glasser approached me on a constituency related matter emanating from a dispute she was experiencing with the Municipality of Clarington, I reserved judgement on whether to support Ms, Glasser until I had an opportunity to review the full public record on the issue. May 7, 1995 rr ~-y ~~ ~~v l~ I^ `~ ~L1^`~ I have now completed my review in this matter- and would like to offer my comments considerable regret that for your consideration. It is this whole di t i with spu e s set against the backdrop of Ms. Gasser's cherished family pet(s) being put down under the provisions of the Livestock, Poultry and Honey Bee Act . This has added considerably to the emotionally charged atmosphere surrounding this issue. Inquiries: It is my understanding that Ms. Gasser is fully and openly accountable .with respect to the behaviour of her family dogs both on the day in question, and thereafter. There is no dispute that she is openly approachable on the whole issue ie., restitution for livestock killed. In fact, she appears quite sensibly aware that as an animal owner she is obliged to ensure a measure of safety for other adjacent farm owners and their livestock. And is also aware of the consequences of any breach committed by her animals. So it should be quite clear that she is not some ultra sensitive out of control tree or animal hugger. In fact, the opposite is quite true. Ms. Gasser's frustration stems in great part as a result of the Municipality's insensitive, and at times cold indifference to the human undercurrents typically associated with grief. As background, Ms. Gasser has a considerable and learned understanding of the political process, and is currently enrolled in political science graduate studies. It is this background :Please call: (905) 432-2592 Address: 15 Yorkville Drive Fax: (905) 470-6051 Courtice, Ontario ' ll E 2A8 which gives Ms. Gasser her credibility when she speaks about the procedural and bureaucratic frustration she encountered in her search for simple answers and the truth. I have reviewed the report of the Community Services Director and support the conclusion Ms. Gasser reached. And that is the report presented to the General, Purpose and Administration Committee on April 3, 1995 is considerably flawed, misrepresents the facts and seriously undermines the integrity upon which the Council must rely to make decisions. Secondly, Ms. Gasser was advised that once an evaluator is called, it then becomes a pro forma exercise, the dog must be killed. However, there is some evidence from a former evaluator that in 15 years, only one dog was put down in similar circumstances. That seems rather incongruous to the statements and assurances made by the Director of Community Services who categorically stated that the Municipality acted on the basis of significant experience. It would appear tfiat we have a conflict with respect to the truth in this matter. If a former evaluator were to testify that in their considerable years they had one such incident, then this wouldn't square with the explanation that the Director of Community Services provided That is scandalous and a brazen breach of the public trust. On the issue of good judgement and the exercise of sensitivity to the circumstances. It would appear there was a total lapse of reasonableness and caring. From the word get go, this whole situation has been a tragically played out comedy of errors. In the first instance, Ms. Gasser is confronted with a kaleidoscope of options with respect to fines, penalties, and associated interpretations of the statute (supra) and the municipalities •role and responsibility in these disputes. I would comment that the municipality is mandated to be the middle man, with a positive obligation and onus to be the facilitator between the parties. What Ms. Gasser experienced was a cold, insensitive bureaucratic approach. She was also told incorrect information concerning the status of her second dog. She was advised that her second dog appeared O.K.. However, she soon learned that the second dog had sustained gun shot injuries. In addition, the municipality has consistently denied to provide particulars concerning the name of the other party in the dispute, citing a statutory obligation to protect the identify of the other party if they so desire. However, when the legislation is read in its full context, buttressed against the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, a more correct interpretation based on a reasonable reading of the law would dictate absolute disclosure. On this very narrow point, Ms. Gasser would appear owed additional information concerning the name of the individual(s) who shot her dog. If there is any apprehension about the proper course, then we must apply a due process standard. t Ms. Gasser's complaint spite of the municipaliti raises some additional concerns, In es Gasser is opposed t~o the overall handling of the situation Ms .. privatization of i control services. It would sufficientl b s mportant animal appear that the municipality has been y . u y with plans the last short while to privatize animal control services H , significantly demonstrates owever, the Gasser situation that the municipality has a public interest to protect, and absent any compelling reasons,. must continue to make animal control servi overall municipal family of ces an integral part of the servi This more so in light of the ces. Not contract the service. fact that we li i ve n a predominately rural community with large populations of farm and domesti animals, c On the issue of contracting out animal control services, the Clarington Industrial Development Coalition would like to raise several issues worthy of consideration, IT PAYS TO STOP CONTRACTING OUT The contractor is in business to make a profit. Not a bad motive, however, that's why we have public services. Contractors also have to pay taxes to make a profit. But not so with the public sector employer. The monies used to provide a contractor with his profit and cover his taxes could be used to provide additional animal control services, improve equipment and/or working conditions of public employees, HIDDEN COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH CONTRACTING OUT All too often it is thought that when a private firm is awarded a contract at a specified cost that this constitutes the total cost to the employer or taxpayers, This is not the case ie„ Clarington snow removal contractors--started extra billing Courtice residents. • The employer must continually monitor the performance of the contractor, This results in additional costs. The municipality must cover administrative overhead costs, pay clerical employees for paper work associated with the contract, and compensate other public employees who have to patch-up, clean-up, or exercise damage control public relations when things go wrong, NEW TENSIONS 't Experience has shown that taxpayers co-operate more readily and more effectively with public employees than with contractors. In many areas of work within the public sector there is a considerable amount of interaction between the providers and users of the service. There would also appear to be a need to reexamine the municipalities intent to contract out animal control services, Studies indicate that contracting out leads to a decrease of public service. In addition, the evidence shows that where employers purport to save money by contracting out, the "savings" was achieved by allowing the contractor to reduce the amount of service that had been performed by public employees. POOR MANAGEMENT One of the most common reasons why contracting out has become popular with governments is that public sector management is inefficient, wasteful or out-dated. Contracting out represents a near-sighted resolution to the problem. By losing control, management problems are simply compounded. In addition, contracting out is synonymous with decreased administrative control, Without the use of contractors, management and planning continuity is retained, making it possible to profit from that past experience and training of workers and management, For the above noted reasons, I would urge the Municipality to review Ms, Gasser's situation and respectfully provide her with the information she is requesting consistent with the principles of open and accountable government, Further, I would ask that the Municipality of Clarington officially recognize that the CIDC objects to the privatization of the animal control services, All of which is respectfully submitted by the C~rington Industrial Development Coalition, y~truly ~~ a ~~ y Ma y Coo dina or, C C GM/ L, Hannah D, Scott A, Dreslinski J, O'Toole M, Novak L, Gasser ___._d ~..:.._. -f~+~F AN. t COUNCIL INFORMATION MINUTES MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINCTON LOCAL ARCHITECTURAL CONSERVATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE APRIL 18, 1995 I-8 ,..,~' ~. ..

Awards Diana Grandfield spoke against the suggestion that LACAC present an annual award. Concerns were voiced as to how it would work; who would qualify; we are spreading ourselves too thin; our mandate to designate homes takes considerable time and should be our prime concern. Following some discussion it was agreed that Isabel would investigate the Municipality's Apple Blossom Awards" and report her findings at our next meeting. Other members 'were to contact LACACs who have such an award and report to our members in May.

Heritage Buildings - Bowmanville Book Diana has spent many hours each week going over the rough draft that was given to her. Diana advised it was her plan to have it ready for printing and for sale at the December House Tour. She requested help from committee members in checking each house. Diana said she was teaming as she went along and felt members would benefit from a days outing with her and she could use the help. Nancy Miller had already spent a day with her. Bill, Lynn, Eleanor, Mavis and Nancy agreed to go and David agreed to go if it was on the weekend. Story Board Isabel is seeking prices before proceeding with change. Solar House John Bizzell was not present to report on this matter. Isabel little indicated the owner of the house had a mailing address in Toronto.

We believe it is important for all municipalities in Ontario to understand the implications of the "Environmental Levy" on aluminum cans. In view of the foregoing we are again attaching our recent correspondence to Premier Rae, and are distributing it to all municipalities in Ontario. To conclude, the one hundred percent recyclable aluminum beverage container is a valuable source of revenue to Ontario municipalities, and has earned the reputation`as an environmental success story in Canada. Considering the facts we know that you will help us support the repeal of the "Environmental Levy" in Ontario. Yours truly, ~-----~ •.~"~ ~_. _ F.J.

Bob Rae Premier of Ontario dt281 Legislative Building Toronto, Ontario M7A l A l Dear Mr. Rae: Further to our letter to you dated April 4, 1y95, we wish to apprise you of some details as to how the "Environmental Levy" has resulted in a negative influence to the environment. However good its intentions, the "Environmental Levy" has been a disaster for Ontazio. It has penalized an environmentally beneficial package, seriously eroded growth of the Canadian can industry, undermined Ontario's successful aluminum recycling industry and cost Ontario tax revenues. It is neither good fiscal policy nor good environmental policy. The Environmental Levy is Bad for the Environment "The induced substitution from aluminum cans to refillable bottles has caused a significant increase in the level of final packaging waste from the domestic beer industry." Professor Hare arrived at this conclusion using conservative assumptions. He based his analysis on a consumer return rate for refillable glass beer bottles of 9996 for key measurement yeazs. In addition, he used a consumer return rate of 84.59'o for aluminum beer cans, when the actual rate is closer to 8896. Back in 1972, packaging waste from refillable bottles was significantly superior to the bimetallic recyclable can then in use by the breweries. The bottle generated 3.923 metric +.onnes of fra.~ packaging waste pes 1,000 hectolitres ~of d^r_:estic bee* sales, while the recyclable bimetallic can generated 12.230 metric tonnes per 1,000 hectolitres of domestic beer sales. However, the level of packaging waste for domestic beer cans was reduced by approximately 8790 between 1972 and 1988. This was brought about by improvements in can technology and lightweighting as well as higher aluminum can recycling rates. As a result, in 1988 the recyclable aluminum can only generated 1.563 metric tonnes of final packaging waste per 1,000 hectolitres of beer sales compazed to a level of 2.723 metric tonnes for the refillable bottle for the same level of beer sales. ...2 a subsidiary of Ball Corporation t t l Page 2 April 21, 1995 By 1993, as a result of ongoing lightweighting improvements and increased recycling, the recyclable aluminum can only generated 0.699 metric tonnes of final packaging waste per 1,000 hectolitres of beer sales compared to a level of 2.570 metric tonnes for the refillable bottle per 1,000 hectolitres of beer sales. As of 1993, the packaging waste profile for the aluminum can is about one third the level of the refillable bottle. An amazing fact that cannot be ignored. During the NAPP (National Packaging Protocol) assessment period between 1988 and 1993, the incremental packaging diversion gains for the aluminum can accrued to 5590 on the basis of reductions in the level of final packaging waste per unit of product sale. This level exceeded NAPP's 5096 performance target required by the year 2000, seven years ahead of its required performance and clearly is outperforming the refillable bottle in its quest for generating incremental packaging- diversion gains. Can a switch from aluminum to glass be justified because it benefits the environment? According to the research, no. "In the case of domestic beer packaging," concludes the Hare study, "the hierarchy (reusable glass bottles are better than recyclable aluminum cans) needs modification -RECYCLING IS PREFERRED TO REUSE. The induced substitution from aluminum cans to refillable bottles will cause a significant increase in the level of final packaging waste from the domestic beer industry," states Mr. Hare. The "Environmental Levy" is not supportable based upon its negative environmental influence. The fac support, and we ask for, a repeal of the "Environmental Levy."

The most recent AECB Radiation Monitor indicates that, for the three-month period from January 1 to March 31 1995, the radiation doses* due to the operation of the Darlington and Pickering nuclear stations were 1.7 microsieverts and 2.4 microsieverts, respectively. These doses are for the most exposed persons living near the stations. They would typically apply to persons living just outside the station boundary who are at their residence 24 hours a day, and who eat and drink local produce and water. The doses are calculated using actual data from the analysis of air, water, milk, fish and vegetation in the local area, as well as data from the actual measured emissions from the stations. Most persons in the Pickering and Darlington areas would actually have received much less than the doses indicated because they have different eating habits or live farther away from the stations. Radiation doses decrease significantly as~ the distance from the stations increases. The Radiation Monitor is produced every three months for each of the two stations and published in local media in the Durham region.

Emissions are in addition to background radiation. The radiation doses due to emissions are for the most exposed persons living near the station. They would typically apply to persons living just outside the station boundary who are at their residences 24 hours a day, who drink local water and milk, and eat local fish and produce. The doses were calculated using actual data from routine analysis of air, water, milk, fish and vegetation samples, as well as station emission data. Most persons would actually receive less than the doses indicated because they have different eating habits or live farther away From the station. Radiation doses decrease significantly as the distance from the station increases. Persons living midway between the two stations would therefore receive less than the doses indicated for either of the stations. Less than 5916 of the radiation dose received from the stations was due to liquid emissions, while the remainder was a result of airborne emissions.

'I'hc preferred option was a beach route that would provide a continuous Trail link, enhance public safi~ty by limiting the roadway stretches, and avoid undisturbed parts of the marsh. The Trail itself would be a novel mix of at-grade pathways, and a new kind of bridge across very sensitive areas.

THAT a copy of Commissioner's Report No. 95-P-50 be sent to the area municipalities and the Waterfront Regeneration Trust. REPORT 1. The Province established the Waterfront Regeneration Trust in July 1992. A key project of the Trust is to coordinate the development of a waterfront trail from Hamilton to Trenton. The public, service groups, private .industry, area municipalities, conservation authorities, and the Region have been active in developing portions of the trail. Much has been accomplished on the waterfront trail in Durham. 2. To celebrate the achievements to date and to raise public awareness of the trail, David Crombie, the Commissioner of the Trust, will travel the entire 325 kilometres from Hamilton to Trenton, between May i4 to June 11, 1995. He will be in the Region between May 26 to June 1, 1995. 3. The area municipalities and community groups will be hosting a variety of events along the Waterfront to celebrate the achievements. The events provide an excellent opportunity for people to enjoy the beauty and diversity of the Region's waterfront. A public open house of the Bowmanville Water Supply Plant, hosted by the Region, is part of the celebration in Clarington on June 1, 1995. This- open house gives the public an opportunity to view the facilities and processes required for providing the Region's residents with potable water. 46 r f.. Commissioner's Report No. 95-P-SO Page 2 4. A draft pamphlet describing the events has been prepared with the cooperation of the Economic Development Department, Works Department and the Area Municipalities (see attached).

This Memorial is unique as it was dedicated to a Captain Milligan, who was killed in the Boer War and also because the Milligan family still resides in the village. The Durham Regiment to which Captain Milligan belonged was a forerunner of the Midland Regiment. Many of our citizens served with the Midland Regiment during W.W. 2. Refreshments will be served at the United Church, Newtonville after the service. The Legion hopes to make it a Community affair in co-operation with the residents, the Church and your presence would certainly be most appreciated. Yours truly ----1-`=~'` ~ ~~------------ W.

This report also involved funding for the reconstruction of Highway No.2 and the deletion of a commitment for a C.P.R. underpass between Martin Road and Green Road. This matter was brought to our attention by members of our Association with concerns on how this matter may affect the future Development Charges quantum. In this regard, our concern is with the possibility that the deletion of the C.P.R. underpass commitment in the Aspen Springs Subdivision Agreement may have the effect of requiring an earlier than necessary warrant for an underpass at the C.P.R and Green Road. Should an expensive Green Road underpass be brought into the quantum calculation earlier than necessary, it will undoubtedly have a negative effect on the value of the quantum and therefore a negative effect on the members of our Association and this industry. Notwithstanding the above, we also note that, with the exception of the Director of Planning and Development, staff concluded that the "Aspen Springs underpass" is not necessary in order to protect the Municipality's interest in the proper functioning of traffic operations in this neighbourhood. On this matter we note the willingness of the Municipality to renegotiate a subdivision agreement when there appears to be a benefit to both parties. We trust the Municipality will continue with this open-minded approach should other members of this Association require similar consideration. _ Having noted the above concern, we would also advise that this Association does not have any objections to creative financing methods that help to fund municipal projects that otherwise would require funding from general revenues. We also note that this funding arrangement will allow the reconstruction of a portion of Highway No. 2 to proceed, thereby allowing the development of important commercial components in the Bowmanville West Main Central Area. This is a progressive step by the Municipality and can only assist the general construction industry who will be involved in these projects. .From the above text you can see that there are some concerns that the Association has on this matter while we also recognize some positive aspects of this unusual financial arrangement. We would like to conclude however by advising that the situation of the future .Green Road underpass will be closely monitored by the Association during the Development Charges review process.

"Travel services were a natural opportunity to explore in our efforts to secure benefits for our membership by taking advantage of our huge buying power, FCM -~~~ President Laurence Mawhinney explained in announcing the partnership with The Rider Travel Group. "Following a proposal call, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) made a thorough evaluation of the submissions. Rider Travel came up the winner with us, as it had with the Government of Canada". Mayor Mawhinney underlined that members are under no obligation to use Rider's services, except for FCM-funded business travel. Members may prefer to place some or all of their business locally, but this agreement provides an option with attractive advantages, just as in earlier agreements for software and postal services. Rider Travel has 26 offices across Canada, including at feast one in every province. It is Canadian owned, with sales volumes of $450 million, almost entirely in the business sector. With only 110 clients comprising 90 per cent of its business, Rider is able to customize its services while providing the latest in technology and techniques to provide the best travel advantages for each client. Alison Hermansen, Rider Travel General Manager states "Given Rider's exclusive focus on business travel and~our extensive knowledge and understanding of the public sector, we are well positioned to deliver customized, proactive travel solutions to the FCM membership. We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship with our new partners at FCM." An FCM survey of member needs and priorities in travel services indicated the overwhelming importance attached to saving money on air fares, train and car rentals and hotels. Rider guarantees the lowest applicable airfare anywhere in the world, or Rider pays the difference. It operates atoll-free, world-wide service, 24 hours a day, for changes and emergencies. Group travel and conferences can yield savings of up to 60 per cent. Free upgrades from economy to business class are provided on many overseas routes. Vacation travel services are also available. The new benefit offers FCM membership both financial savings and economies in staff time. More importantly, the FCM Travel Savings Program offers elected and senior administrative personnel a strong management tool in respect to monitoring travel expenditures. They are available equally to Supporting Members. Rider Travel itself is a Supporting Member, and will be exhibiting at the FCM Trade Show and Exhibition. Members are encouraged to discuss this opportunity with Rider Travel personnel at FCM's 58th Annual Conference, June 9 -12 in Toronto. ./2 FcJcration of FcJcration CanaJian canaJicnne Jes Municipalities municipalizes Page two "This is another private sector partnership that has practical meaning for all our members. I hope that many municipal governments will enjoy the advantages in travel services that the FCM secretariat and the Federal government has found in dealing with the Rider Travel Group," Mayor Mawhinney added. -30- Members wishing to make travel arrangements for the FCM Conference can take advantage of the service by calling Rider Travel in Ottawa at 1-800-263-1318.

Speakers: Mayor Hazel McCallion, City of Mississauga, Ontario Doug lychak, City Manager, City of Surrey, British Columbia Union Representative (tba) Moving governments toward public enterprise poses a set of fundamental questions. Our panelists will address the principles of enterprising government #rom their differing perspectives as trustees of public funds, as managers ofmulti-million dollar corporations and as representatives ofpublic employees. Risks and rewards are viewed very differently in the public sector where the basic mission is to "do good", raise or lower fazes or cut spending -not make money! Many feel government cannot be run like a business, yet others believe an entrepreneurial edge is the key to successful government. 17:00-11:1 S CONFERENCE WRAP-UP 18:30-19:30 RECEPTION with the Municipal Information Systems Association (MISA) 19:30-21:30 PRESIDENT'S BANQUET Speaker: (tba) Friday, June 9 08:00-16:00 JOINT CAMA/FCM/MISA WORKSHOP The flectronic Community See separate registration. 10:00-19:00 FCM TRADE SHOW Sheraton Centre 0 E GENERAL INFORMATION All conference sessions will take place at the Toronto Hilton Hotel unless otherwise indicated.

We thought we were explicit in the past when we expressed how taxing it is to have our club volunteers raising funds as well as doing all the work for this community service and non-profit event. We are all volunteering our time and we simply have no more energy, connections or resources left to give. In the future, if the municipality can finance $5,000.00 towards this event, the Optimist Club of Newcastle Village would be more than willing to raise the additional funds needed. It has been suggested that we charge admission, but we feel that the people attending are already paying by donating at the gate and buying food at the concession stand, not to mention the fact that grants are part of the taxpayers' money. It is unfortunate we are not able to celebrate Canada's birthday as a community and~as proud Canadians.

Of perhaps greatest interest to Ontarians is the dampening effect on the proposed reform of the social security system in Canada. The introduction of a proposed (conditional) block funding approach to provinces and territories (currently known as the Canada Health & Social Transfer - CHST) is claimed to provide a greater degree of flexibility in meeting the contemporary needs of Canadians. While in principle the concept is applauded by both our Associations and memberships, we concur with your Minister of Finance who points out that Ontarians will be forced to "shoulder far more than their share of cuts... which support health, higher education, child care and social assistance...". Many of the other concerns expressed in Mr. Laughren's document: The 1995 Federal Budget: Impact on Ontario, reflect those of our respective Boards of Directors. However, as expressed in the federal budget, a conditional block funding approach attempts to "...reduce the federal- provincial entanglement that has been a source of irritation..."; and therefore we believe that efforts must be made to capitalize on this feature of the new funding arrangement. With respect to social service, post-secondary education and health programs, Canadians are now poised to enter a new era. An era which requires a concentrated and collaborative effort in designing a funding formula that will address the key principles of equity, fairness and consistency for all provinces and territories. This, in turn, will provide the basis for a social services network which meets the needs of Canadians. History has shown that the development of an effective process occurs only when all stakeholders play a part in its design. To this end, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and the Ontario Municipal Social Services Association (OMSSA) believe that the long-standing municipal management and fiscal contribution in the social service sector must be recognized if we, as governments, are to re-engineer the future of Ontario. We believe co-operative involvement and active participation by municipalities in discussions with the government of Canada is critical to the successful transformation of the social services system. .../2 t '~0 Blcxx Street East • • Suite 701, Toronto, Ontario M4W 1 E6 Telephone (4161 929-7573 Fax 1416) 929-7574 -2- While severe shortfalls are anticipated to many of our programs as a result of the federal budget, AMO and OMSSA believe that we can reduce these negative impacts when we work together as partners with our provincial colleagues. We look forward to your response and to a joint participation in this process.

THAT Council authorize the Regional Solicitor to prepare necessary by-laws required to implement the changes required by the amended Planning Act; and 3. THAT a copy of this report be forwazded to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and to the Area Municipalities. REPORT 1. On September 1, 1994, the Minister of Municipal Affairs delegated the approval authority for area municipal official plans and amendments to Regional Council By by-law, Regional Council sub-delegated part of the authority to the Commissioner of Planning to streamline the process. Regional Council also adopted a procedure to be followed to exercise this authority, which will continue to be followed for official plans and amendments adopted prior to March 28, 1995. 2. Effective March 28, 1995, changes to the Planning Act by Bill 163 similarly assigned Regional Council as the approval authority for area municipal official plans and area municipal-initiated amendments adopted on or after March 28, 1995.. The amended t i, 3 9 Commissioner's Report No. 95-P-45 Page 2 Planning Act contains provisions that contribute to the need for a new procedure, such as: , a) a 150-day time period within which the Region may consider an official plan or amendment without receiving an appeal to the Municipal Boazd from an applicant; b) a requirement that prescribed information be included with an application before the 150-day time period begins; c) a requirement that the Region give written notice of proposed decisions containing prescribed information, which initiates a 30-day time period within which any person or public body may request the referral of a proposed decision to the Municipal Boazd; d) the authority for the Region to refuse a request for referral to the Municipal Boazd based on criteria in the Planning Act; and e) a provision that enables an applicant to request that the Region, being the approval authority, approve aprivately-initiated amendment in circumstances where an area municipality does not give notice of a public meeting within 90 days of receipt or an area municipal council fails or refuses to adopt an amendment application within 180 days of receipt. 3. Attachment No. 1 to this report contains the recommended procedure. Attachment No. 2 illustrates the procedure in a flow chart. The new procedure provides for Regional Council to consider approval of area municipal official plans and amendments that are Complex and the Commissioner of Planning to consider approval of area municipal official plan amendments that are Standazd. A Standard amendment is defined as any amendment: i) that is consistent with provincial policy statements; and ii) that is in conformity with the Durham Regional Official Plan; and iii) the recommendation of the Commissioner is in accordance with the recommendation of the Council of the area municipality; and where iv) the Commissioner determines a review by Council is not wan~anted. 4. This recommended procedure has been prepared in consultation with the Regional Clerk and the Regional Solicitor. 34 t e i 6 i t t t Commissioner's Report No. 95-P-45 Page 3 5. It is also recommended that the Regional Solicitor be authorized to prepare a by- law to sub-delegate the approval authority for area municipal official plan amendments to the Commissioner of Planning as provided for in the recommended procedure.

We are of course pleased that the Municipality has continued to show spending restraint and has kept the municipal portion of the tax bill to a zero percent increase. Fiscal responsibility not only pleases voters, it makes our municipality a more attractive business location. However, we have a concern regarding the budget review process. We believe the process was much too hurried and did not leave room for public review or consultation. From the time the draft budget documents were made public to the time Council approved the budget less than 10 days elapsed. Although the review meetings are public, the public is only allowed to observe. We agree this is necessary to maintain an orderly review by Council. However at some point the public should be given the opportunity to contact their Councillor and question the budget or provide input. The current process does not provide enough .time for such public input. We ask that Council consider modifying the process for next year. After budget drafts become-available to the public at least two Council meetings should be held where the public may appear as delegations on the subject of budget. This would mean a "budget consideration" period of at least one month. It would also allow for appropriate press coverage and subsequent public discussion. We thank you in advance for your consideration of this request and look forward to your response. C?t~aT TtON Yours truly, CLER14 _.._. - ..

This will also coincide with Grandparents groups on the west coast and in the .United States. of America. Mr. Julian Reed, M.P., Halton-Peel, is also proposing in a Private Member's Bill that 1996 be proclaimed: "THE YEAR OF THE GRANDPARENTS"! We deeply appreciate the efforts of these two people as there are so many grandparents who seem to sit quietly .in the shadows,'wating for their young people to remember ,them. Others grieve silently. because they are prohibited from seeing their grandchildren or contacting them ~in any .way. Perhaps a special day and, indeed a special year, Will draw attention to them. The work of GRANDPARENTS REQUESTING ACCESS 'N' DIGNITY will go on as Tong as we see a need. So many children and extended families are being denied-the love and experience that grandparents can give them! We must all work together to find a solution to these problems.

I understand that council wishes to allocate this service to the private sector. Although I am extremely aware of the problem of funding municipal programs with fewer and fewer resources, I am concerned that the welfare of the animals will be compromised. If your municipality gives up the responsibility for the care of animals in distress, how will the new service be monitored and assessed? I firmly believe that without community ties, dollars will be the priority and not animal care. These animals have already suffered and deserve a good facility with veterinary care until they are adopted. I adopted a Border Collie from the Clarington animal shelter in November of 1993. This dog had been in dire straits and was being well looked after. He had received the appropriate veterinary care and was on his way back to health. The workers at the shelter were very kind and it was obvious to me that they cared for these animals. I think you should be proud of the service that your municipality provides and continue to support it. ~ Ey±~~i Yours truly, JANE E.M. BRASHER M.D. F.R.

Such inadequate literacy and numeracy skills cost the Canadian economy approximately $4 billion in lost productivity each year. The social costs are immeasurable -millions of Canadians cannot participate fully in our society. We at Canada Post Corporation are committed to improving literacy in Canada, and we have developed numerous partnerships and programs to meet this goal. To honour those who share our commitment to literacy, we established the Canada Post Corporation "Flight for Freedom" Award program in 1992 in conjunction with major corporate sponsors. Presented for the first time in the Fall of 1993, the Awards recognize the contributions of companies, literacy organizations, educators and individuals in improving Canadian literacy skills. We are now accepting nominations for the third annual Flight for Freedom Awards, and I am seeking your help. I am asking you to increase awareness of the importance of the cause of literacy and the recognition demonstrated by the Canada Post Corporation Flight for Freedom Awards among your colleagues, associates and constituents. I also ask that you prepare a Flight for Freedom Award submission on behalf of a worthy business, literacy organization, educator or individual who is making a difference in our society by teaching our fellow citizens the value of good reading and writing skills. The deadline for submissions for the third annual Flight for Freedom Awards is July 14, 1995, with this year's Awards ceremony taking place this Fall. I enclose information on the Award process. Your support and promotion of these Awards will help to ensure that we recognize those whose efforts will ultimately benefit all Canadians. ,~ ~' ~ ~1- Yours sincerely, Georges C.

Your municipality is getting the shaft in your AMO deregulated gas program and you should know it! Deregulated natural gas is supposed to save you money. Those municipalities in the Consumers Gas service areas who participated through AMO in 1993-94 paid an estimated subsidy of 2 cents per gigajoule to municipalities in other utilities areas. Plus the AMO plan in that period made some poor purchase decisions that cost you an additional estimated 11 cents per gigajoule. This may sound like pennies, but it amounts to more than 7% of your total commodity gas cost that you could have saved! \Tot to mention the fact that you are paying an additional management fee! In the current flow year to end in October 1995, it is projected that you will be losing another 9 cents per gigajoule or almost S% of your gas cost in poor purchase decisions relation to the Consumers Gas payment price and AMO's purchase price. Calculate out how much that will mean to you. ~Youldn't you rather save your taxpayers money on deregulated natural gas instead of paying out? Municipalities who participated through Enershare have already received a profit sharing cheque for the 1993 - 1994 Flow Year. And none of our over 13,(100 customers have ever been billed to contribute to our plans. Nor will they...because we always buy natural gas ~~~ith a guaranteed ~rofit built into the transaction. 827 WEST FENDER ST., 2ND FLOOR HEAD OFFI E: VANCOUVER, BC 87 BAKERSFIELD STREET NORTH YORK, ON V6C 3G8 M3J 1Z4 TEL.

Mr. Zool Kassum of Bayfield Management Ltd., receives his profit sharing cheque from Fegin Benhabib of Enershare Direct Purchase with Enershare Avoids Gas Cost Variance Fee When the Utilities sell natural gas, they do so at a price that has been sanctioned by their provincial energy board. Naturally there -.are a nutttber of assumptions built into the approval of that price, and each utilit~~ ha: its own situation and conditions to take into consideration. Differences in approved rates versus actual costs are posted to a "variance account" so that rate changes are not required during dte course of the year. The hope is that the ups and downs ~~ ill even out over the year. Howes er. h~ the end of the flow year, the variance accounts at Union and Consumers showed a deficit. This has brought a new feauu•e t~~ as consumers: the Gas Cost Variance Fec. Both Union and Consumers will be requiring their customers to pay a one time fee t~~ make up for this negative balance.

See back page I~or contest details The past year has been a volatile one for the natural gas market. Prices soared in unprecedented fluctuation over the course of the year. The market is naturally driven by heating needs and this is strongly influenced by weather. Last year was one of the coldest in recent memory in Eastern Canada. Increased demand for natural gas in turn drove the short term pricing of natural gas at the well head in Alberta up precipitously. As the graph below indicates, pricing was very unfavourable for gas consumers. But more importantly it also shows the benefits of purchasing gas related to WACOG utility prices. WACOG prices guarantee both stability and savings. Enershare has already secured supplies of western natural gas to cover our current and projected needs for the coming year at prices well below WACOG. This guarantees our customers profit sharing cheques in the coming year and a clear competitive advantage in their operating costs. If you or someone you know can benefit from Enershare's foresight, please contact Tony Lewis.

Current demand is projected to be in the neighbourhood of 2.5 trillion cubic feet and should grow to over 3.0 trillion cubic feet by 2005. Canadian gas exports have also grown to where Canadian gas represents 10% of the U.S. market compared to 4% in the mid-eighties. This share is expected to continue to grow in line with Canadian market growth. Gas prices arc expected [o grow consistently with this demand over the next ten years. Today's prices of around $2.00 per MMBtu are expected to grow towards $3.50 in that time. We hclicvc this will Icad nxtrc users to the savings available from deregulated marketers such as I:ncrsharc. antral gas isn't the only strength of Enershare. In fact, a number of our deregulated gas clients have found new and exciting ways to save on their operating costs through our Thermal Management Programs. Here's a case in point: Strathro}' has been saving money through Enershare for some time, through the deregulated natural gas market. "Enershare volunteered to do a free energy audit for the to~~~n', saes John Blanchard, Treasurer for the Town of Strathroy. Ontario. "It showed us that we could save substantially with some energy usage improvements." "The t~~ o biggest issues for municipal governments today are detinitely the economy and the environment," says Blanchard. Enershare allowed the town to address both at the game time. Enershare made improvements to a number of the Town buildings to reduce energy use. The capital cost f~~r these improvements was covered out of the say tn~s that are being generated. Strathroy receives an econ~~mic benefit of over $250,000 and will receive ~~n~~oin__ ~~perating costs savings for years to come. Is Strathroy happy? You bet! They have already extended their ~~~ntract with Enershare and additional impro~~em~ nt: ar~• under way. NEW WAYS TO SAVE WITH NATURAL GAS Natural gas indoor fast fuelling for forklifts has now been approved. If you are currently using even one cylinder of propane per shift you can get the operating characteristics of Natural gas and significant savings. Natural gas fuelled forklifts perform equally or better than propane powered ones. The bonus... Enershare can help you achieve your economic and environmental goals by: -Upgrading your forklift fleet to natural gas - financing the upgrade of current vehides to natural gas - Insuring you are paying the lowest price for your energy - Redudng deadly Carbon Monoxide pollution in exhausts by 95 °Io Enershare will supervise the upgrade of your forklifts, arrange gas line hook up improvements, as necessary, and arrange for training sessions for your staff to facilitate the upgrade and maximize your benefits. You get Enershare's proven professional experience while minimizing your personnel time requirements and costs. The capital cost to upgrade your forklifts can be funded through Enershare and paid for from the savings you will gain! Average payback based on one cylinder per shift could otherwise take up to three years. With Enershare your cashtlow improves immediately! Natural gas is more convenient and easier to refuel: takes less time, eliminates the need for handling heavy cylinders, reduces wastage and eliminates on-site storage and delivery problems.

VOLUME 3, ISSUE 4 Published by Enershare Technology Corporation WINTER 1994 The Town of Strathroy t ~`,~OLUME 3, ISSUE 4 Published by Enershare Technology Corporation WINTER 1994 Earlier this year, Enershare was lucky to land Tony Lewis to head up our deregulated natural ~" as sales. Tony has many years experience in the natural gas market -- both upstream at the producer's end and downstream in sales and marketing (hence the photo...Tony is on the right). Tony was previously Vice President of Direct Energy Marketing, a natural gas brokerage ` ompany; and was marketing manager of Encor Energy in Calgary for six years. Tony introduced and led a product hedging and swaps =team, vital experience in today's natural gas commodity em~ironment. Tony was born in Halifax and graduated from both St. Mary's University and the Nova Scotia Technical college. After graduating, Tony also .found time to obtain an M.B.A. from Wayne State College. Ton}~ is a Professional Engineer 'and is a past president of the Calgary Chapter of the Canadian Society of Chemical Engineers. He has also been im'olved in a number of other industry associations, often selected to represent his compan}' or industry at governmental hearings and international conferences. Tony is also the proud father of four children, Fall in uni~ ersit~ across North America, whom Tony projects to become: "one engineer, one lawyer and n~-o business types". With this '-:hectic career and demanding home life, Tony still tinds tithe for outdoor pursuits: camping, canoeing and lists .~lgonquin Park as one of his ._ favourite ~ acation destinations. Tony feels that the key to Canada's energy future i~ in further deregulation of the marketplace. ~hitiin~_ the control to the end users 'and aIl(1~~In`_ [he free market forces to drive pricing i< the mad to long term health for C~u~ad~i> en~r~_~ ec.~nomy.

(f Colada is to compete effectively in °~ the world market. especially after NAFI'A, we havr t~~ he lo~~ cr cost producers. The tlerr~~ul~n~~t m:ukct helps us do just that." n anything you read about the deregulated natural gas market you see references to something called WACOG. So what is it? WACOG is the Weighted Average Cost of Alberta Gas being delivered to the various natural gas utilities. On the other hand, NYMEX is the key factor in determining the utilities' pricing. This is the New York Mercantile Exchange price for gas, in other words the accepted North American free market price. In the past, the utilities bought quantities of gas at either a fixed price, or on a formula, from the Alberta producers based on WACOG. These prices are approved annually by provincial Energy Boards. Currently, the utilities buy from producers using formulas based on NYMEX pricing. Deregulated marketers like Enershare buy their gas at WACOG prices. NYMEX prices are virtually guaranteed to be more volatile than WACOG. This means money in the bank for Enershare's customers. And that's good news. "There's no masking the savings you'll get with Enershare" Municipalities Need Better AMO Municipal governments joined together in a joint buying group called GASAMO to get the benefits of deregulated gas. However, the radical changes in the natural gas market caused a lot more problems than economic benefits. In an announcement sent to member municipalities last year, the group advised that in this flow year, "To reflect the collective nature of the GASAMO program ECNG will, in the future, pool the WACOG payments from the various utilities and the two producer invoices and allocate the resulting savings to individual members on the basis of their proportionate share of the combined GASAMO volumes." In other words, members were required to pay additional fees to cover the shortfalls that took place within the plan. The plan was not unique. Collective buying groups have their advantages. However, marketers of dcregulalcd natural gas found the past year very difficult. Some went out of business, some billed members f2rr fecx and some didn't make any profit at all. Enershare is proud of its ability to weather the storm and keep its customers happy. Welcome Tony Lewis! Enershare's Staff Hallowe'en Party ENE 'HIE TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION 11!

The natural gas market is already functioning well in its new deregulated structure. In the U.S., the Federal Government has recently deregulated electricity and the market change is well underway. Deregulation allows U.S. end users to operate at a lower cost. A new and exciting savings opportunity is also here in Canada. The President of Ontario Hydro announced Canadian deregulation will be in place in as little as three years. "I think we are talking in a three-to-five year time frame for fundamental change in our structure"...."A more open market is an inevitability" (Allan Kupcis, quoted in the Globe & Mail, January 18, 1995). Some analysts feel it may take less time for Ontario to follow suite if it wants to keep major industries and other energy users from relocating to areas where less expensive power is available. BENEFITS TO DEREGULATION It is anticipated that Ontario end users will experience savings of 7% to 12% on their total electricity costs given access to current available electricity supplies. Electricity consumers may also be able to produce power through the installation of a co- generation unit, if they have compatible heat requirements. Such a uaut could nct only produce electricity for their needs, but can potentially sell excess electricity to others. Institutions like hospitals, universities and factories are all strong candidates for co- generation. Office deregulation permits the production of power by independent sources savings for these en~i users may rise to 20% to 25%. Lower electrical costs will help make Ontario facilities more competitive in world markets and thereby save jobs. THE NEED TO ACT NOW Ontario Hydro will probably require a phasing in of the deregulated power to protect production from their existing facilities. This will limit the accessibility of deregulation to end users. t 4 Once deregulation of electricity occurs, there will be two waves of activity: independently priced electricity production will quickly be sold through the deregulated market, and as a second wave taking up to 5 years, additional lower cost capacity will be developed for future sale. There is a limit to the independent power now available and this will quickly be allocated once deregulation begins. Considerable lead time will be required to create an infrastructure for further sources of alternative electrical power. E1vE 'HARE TE CR NOLOGV CORPORATION ANTICIPATED MARKET METHODOLOGY It is expected that the deregulated electricity market will operate in a manner virtually identical to the deregulated natural gas market. The methodologies and choices will be similar because the natural gas market has found an efficient and fair way to function. Your organization appoints Enershare as your agent to create a pool of electrical end users. It is anticipated that we will then enter into an agreement with your power utility (Ontario Hydro, Toronto Hydro, etc.) whereby your utility will purchase the Pool's electricity at their published rates. Since our purchase of the electricity will be guaranteed at a percentage below Hydro's published rates, our Pool is assured a profit. WHY ENERSHARE? Enershare is already working to secure a supply of lower priced independently produced electricity for its customers from the existing plants in both the private and public sectors which have excess capacity. This will insure a lower cost, deregulated electricity supply fur customers who are signed up ready to benefit on the date of deregulation. Enershare is already acting as Agent for municipalities and other private and public sector organizations seeking to profit from the coming deregulation of electricity. Enershare's President is a founding member of the I.P.P.S.O. (Independent Power Producers Society of Ontario) Open Access Committee which is helping to define the structure of this new market. He is the sole representative from the demand side on this committee. Enershare has a proven record as an effective deregulated Agent: inershare is a pioneer in the deregulated natural gas market with a number of firsts to our credit. We are a founding member of the Canadian Independent Gas Marketers Association and provided the framework for the Ontario Natural Gas Association Code of Conduct that is the standard today. Enershare's programmes in the deregulated natural gas market have over 12,000 end users from Ontario to British Columbia. Enershare is uniquely qualified to take the lead in marketing deregulated electricity. Enershare has demonstrated a strong track record in understanding energy distribution and economics; in the engineering of energy saving improvements for clients; and in providing the financial acumen and wherewithal to make energy cost savings possible. Our work is endorsed by the Federal and Provincial governments, industry organizations like the Canadian Manufacturer's Association, and accredited by Ontario Hydro.

ECNG I ENERGY PURCHASING AND CONSULTING IN THIS VOLATILE NATURAL GAS 1~Z~4 RSET ECNG, WITH THE COOPERATION OF AMO, HAS ONCE AGAIN SUCCEEDED IN NEGOTIATING FAVOURABLE SUPPLY CONTRACTS FOR ITS GASAMO CLIENTS! PLEASE READ ON FOR FURTHER EXPLANATION.; D t ORIC "P ECTN . ~ ~ Sept. 24/93.-` c. . Our last gas sup ~report.to-you,,in May of 1992, announced our negotiation of a reduction d' h =;,~•in your naturat. ucchase pace and the resulting increase in your erect purc ase savings. ... Y.'M .~T ;; . ~.~. In retrospectthePreduction was even more favourable than our May report estimated. Prices were reduced by~15C per gigajoule ("GJ") for 1992 and 12C per GJ for 1993. The extra savings for GASAMO members will total approximately 5800,000.°° The renegotiation was also well timed. The enclosed graph on direct purchase prices (Appendix A) documents that it took place just before prices reached their lowest point. TODAY'S SITUATION Since that time, natural gas commodity prices have shot up; as the graph shows, they have more than doubled. The supply surplus -the "gas bubble" -has disappeared. It has become very much a seller's market. Your current supplier • Direct Energy Marketing - provided a dramatic demonstration of this change in the direct purchase market. Their supply offer for 1994 - a year of contract extension which Direct had sought as a concession for the price reductions described above - was made contingent on the gas being supplied from Alberta. Since your requirements, which are termed "core" volumes, could not be exported from Alberta, we couldn't accept Direct's offer without exposing you to risk. oCTIONS TAKEN ON YOUR BEHALF 1. With the help of your association, AMO, we obtained replacement supply by means of a call for tender. The cover letter for the call for tenders is attached (Appendix B). Further details of that call for tenders will be provided at your request. From the supply proposals received, we chose two -Northland Power and Wes Cana Energy Marketing. It was necessary to choose two suppliers to cover GASAMO's volume requirements. There remains a small volume of gas to acquire starting January 1; 1994. The pricing and volumes in the offers accepted are: Northland Power Volume: 101.0 103m' per day Price: 52.42 per GJ Wes Cana. Energy Volume: 126.0 10'm' per day Price: The Alberta border (Empress) firm one month spot price as published in the Canadian Gas Price Reporter plus 50.05 per GJ To put this supply situation in perspective, if gas were being bought today under these contracts, the weighted average cost -the price you would pay - would be approximately 52.20 per GJ. Once again, if you refer to the price chart, you will see that 1 year firm prices are currently in the S2.45 to S2.56 range. .../2 ~s3 t ~~', ~ ~ - - .. _ ,. ADVANTAGES OF THIS SUPPLY ARRANGEMENT - both suppliers.are large and financially secure organizations; secure supply is therefore assured; - having two suppliers provides diversity of supply and price; - the inclusion of the Wes Cana Energy indexed price volume provides a reasonable possibility that the weighted average price over the year will be lower than otherwise would have been available under traditional one year fixed price arrangements; and - the prices currently are, and are expected to remain, at or below the level of Alberta industrial gas prices. This means that we have succeeded in eliminating the premium which has traditionally existed for Saskatchewan "core" supplies. Again, looking at the chart, you will see that premium has existed historically and, at times, has been as high as S0.30/GJ. UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARD TO LEVEL AND TIMING OF UTILITY WACOG• INCREASES (`WACOG is the price the utility pays you for your direct purchase gas} In August you received a letter from Robert Kirkby, President of ECNG, explaining that ECNG will be holding your savings in our trust account. This is necessary because the implementation of new higher utility WACOG purchase prices will likely be delayed until well after November 1, 1993 when your producer purchase cost will go up. We enclose a copy of that letter (Appendix C) for your reference. The latest news on the possible future level of the WACOGs is contained in the enclosed Financial Post article of Friday September 10 (Appendix D}. The message is, that WACOGs are going to be higher than the utilities would like them to be and should be at a level which will continue to yield you savings. While every effort has been taken in order to assure GASAMO members of secure gas supply at minimum cost, you should be aware that the utilities' WACOGs for 1993/94 are not yet known. AMO and ECNG will monitor this situation closely. If it appears that there will be insufficient cash in the trust account to pay your gas suppliers on time, ECNG will request a transfer of funds from each GASAMO member. ECNG's FURTHER ACTION WITH REGARD TO WACOG To reflect the collective nature of the GASAMO program ECNG will, in the future, pool the WACOG payments from the various utilities and the two producer invoices and allocate the resulting savings to individual members on the basis of their proportionate share of the combined GASAMO volumes. This will smooth out some possible differences in WACOG levels and timing differences among the three utilities involved. In discussion with AMO, we concluded that this was the best approach to eliminating anomalies that might arise and providing equitable treatment for all participating municipalities and organizations. If you have any questions about this information please call your ECNG sales representative, Peter Scully or Sharad Kerur, Director, Administration and Finance, AMO. t t e t t r s k L l l S's per O -~ -~ -' ~ "' ~ ~ r lD O N W A fT Q1 V O O O O O O O S O Gigoj r pm $ ou!e ~ !O p o! the N O $ Alberto ?or N N N O O O O der N N N N N N N W W W d 1J~ G1 V CI {p O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O Jun-ea ' i i Miq . qq i i i , i I ' I ~ I I I i I I ~ oa-es - i , ~ I I I o~c-ae 1~ ~ j I i I _ I I t / , I I I .~ r W - Atr-e9 i I ~ ii i • ~ I I I I ° ° o = Jun-ag I I •'l• ! ~ I I _ _ I ~ ~ - - _ ~ I i ° ~ ° • Aug-a9 - i i ~ I~ I i ~ I I JC:-ee i ~ - I I C , y _ Sec-ag ~ .

Paul Mooney Business Administrator Haldimand-Norfolk R.C.S.S.B. P.O. Box 278 Regional Road 40 Simcoe, ON N3Y 4L1 Dear Mr.. Mooney: INTRODUCTION AND ACTION REQUIRED ECNG is very pleased to present the 1994-95 supply offer for your consortium. It has substantial protection against prices exceeding those of the utilities and provides many avenues for increased savings in the competitive market. We believe, therefore, that it will yield significant savings to participants compared to the system supply alternative.. Since the supply offer is based on a tender which is valid for a limited period, we must have confirmation of your acceptance by August 15, 1994. To take advantage of a declining price trend in the market, ECNG delayed issuance of the call for the GASAMO tender by approximately one month from the date indicated in our June report to you. In parallel, we are extending your current buy/sell agreement by one month to November 30, 1994 so that we have until September 1, 1994 to renew the GASAMO buy,'sell agreements with the utilities for a further year. Thus, we need your response by August 15, 1994. DESCRIPTION OF THE TENDERING PROCESS ECNG requested offers from the entire spectrum of the gas supply market (60 suppliers were requested to tender) on the total GASAMO volumes -some 120 million cubic metres per year. The response was very positive and represented the range of the supplier community, including major gas traders; producer owned marketing companies; smaller marketing companies and large producers. The tender call requested that bidders offer a portfolio approach rather than a single price or one formula for atl the volumes. This request was made to obtain the best pricing arrangements possible for your consortium and to provide flexibility to take advantage of changing market conditions. .../2 .A'Wi Sl1C7N ~Nh:NIlhl,t N~q/".

In response we received 12 proposals. Proposals were received from: _ Brymore Energy Limited Chevron Canada Resources Cibola Canada Energy Marketing Limited Direct Energy Marketing Limited Enron Gas Marketing Canada Inc. Mobi- Oil Canada Northland Power Northridge Gas Marketing Inc. Novagas Clearinghouse Ltd. Sunalta Energy Marketing Inc. Wascana Energy Inc. Westcoast Gas Services Inc. The 12 companies that responded represent a broad spectrum from the supplier ;; community, including major gas traders such as Enron and Novagas Clearinghouse; producer owned marketing companies such as Direct Energy and Northridge; smaller marketing companies such as Cibola and Brymore, and large producers such as Mobil and Chevron. The RFP requested pricing along the following lines: (i) 30% indexed to the relevant LDC buy/sell reference price. (ii) 30% on a fixed price basis. (iii) 25% on an indexed basis, with the option each month to elect either a fixed price for the month, or to price gas daily. (iv) 15% to be on a daily indexed basis. Most respondents offered several pricing options. The range of offers is outlined below: Fixed Price Offers: One year fixed prices ranged from a low of S2.18 per GJ to a high of 52.32 per GJ. Cibola offered the 52.18 per GJ and was the only supplier to offer below 52.20 per GJ. /2 t -2- Percent of WACOG Offer: Suppliers are very reluctant to offer percent of WACOG pricing. Westcoast offered 97'/0 of WACOG, but required a two year term commitment. Brymore offered 98% of WACOG, but also required a two year term. We received one year offers of 97.5% of WACOG from Enron, 98.5% of WACOG from Chevron, and 99% of WACOG from Novagas Clearinghouse. Sunalta offered a combination of indexed pricing with a WACOG related cap. On a monthly basis Sunalta will provide gas at either the Canadian Gas Price Reporter ("CGPR") Monthly Index plus 50.035 per GJ or the CGPR Daily Index plus S0.025 per GJ. The average price over the year is capped at 98% of the Consumers Gas WACOG. There is also a floor on the average price over the year. The average price will be no less than the lessor of either 52.00 per GJ or 100% of the Consumers Gas WACOG. Index Pricing Offers: Several suppliers offered flexible month by month pricing with the option to negotiate a fixed one month price or default to either daily or monthly pricing. Several suppliers offered the Daily Index plus 50.02 per GJ. Novagas Clearinghouse offered the option on a monthly basis to negotiate a fixed price for the next month or to go with the CGPR Daily Index plus 50.01 per GJ. If a monthly price is desired and failing agreement on a fixed price, pricing will default to the Novagas Clearinghouse Monthly Index plus 50.02 per GJ, capped at the CGPR monthly index plus 50.02 per GJ. This means that if Novagas Clearinghouse can beat the published CGPR index, the benefit will go to GASAMO. Recommendation: ECNG recommends acceptance of the Cibola offer of S2.18 per GJ for roughly 30% of the GASAMO requirements; acceptance of the Sunalta index pricing with a WACOG related floor and cap for roughly 45% of the portfolio; and acceptance of the Novagas Clearinghouse flexible month by month index pricing for 25% of the portfolio. .../3 L -3- Discussion: 1. Fixed prices have dropped from the S2.42 per GJ level that was available last '• November 1 to the S2.18 per GJ level that we are seeing now. Whle there may still be some downward movement in one year fixed prices, prices are expected to firm up as we move closer to winter. Daily Alberta prices have remained relatively high through the summer and this has limited the softening of one year fixed prices. Day prices have remained high largely because of air conditioning related demand from California where temperatures have been very hot, and by demand within Alberta to fill newly developed storage basins. Note that while increased storage capacity will boost prices in the off-peak summer season, it should reduce price spikes in the winter period. Producers are also talking about a "ghost floor" empress price of a S2.20 per GJ. This means that for some producers, unless they can get 52.20 per GJ at Empress, they will choose to leave the gas in the ground. (Of course with over 700 producers in Alberta one could argue that it is very unlikely that such a "psychological" barrier could withstand the economic reality of supply and demand). We feel that it is conservative and indeed prudent to include in the GASAMO supply portfolio_30% of the requirement at a fixed price 52.18 per GJ. 2. Suppliers are very reluctant to offer percent of WACOG pricing. Therefore to get percent of WACOG pricing, end-users are having to pay a premium in the form of a high percentage. For example, GASAMO was offered 97% over 2 years from Westcoast; 98% over two years from Brymore; and 99% from Novagas Clearinghouse! Sunalta offered an innovative deal which combines the cost saving potential of index pricing with the security of an annual percent of WACOG cap. If index prices over the year average more than the Consumers Gas WACOG, the price will be capped at 98% of the Consumers Gas WACOG. If market index prices over the year average below WACOG, GASAMO can participate in the fall in market prices down to the 52.00 per GJ level. In such a situation, GASAMO could end up with a lower effective percent of WACOG price. For example, if the Consumers Gas WACOG averaged S2.25 per GJ and the Sunalta index pricing averaged S2.00 per GJ, this would represent the equivalent of 89% of WACOG pricing -much lower than what is available on a strict percent of WACOG basis. •••~4 w I~ 1 -4- If both the index pricing and the Consumers Gas WACOG were to drop below the S2.00 per GJ floor, the Sunalta price would be set at 100% of WACOG. While in this situation, buy/sell savings would be eliminated, the GASAMO members would still be benefitting by the fall in market prices. Endvse gas bills would drop and total gas expenditures would be lower. The Sunalta pricing offers benefits to GASAMO in a variety of market situations, and also provides the security of a percent of WACOG cap. The Sunalta pricing is recommended for 45% of the GASAMO supply portfolio. 3. By leaving the remaining 25% of the portfolio on a completely indexed basis, GASAMO can take full advantage of any downward movement in market prices. The short term index pricing could be very beneficial if there is a significant drop in prices next spring. The Novagas Clearinghouse pricing allows GASAMO to choose, prior to the start of any given month, between monthly pricing or daily pricing. In the volatile winter months, this option can provide cost savings opportunities. In a similar arrangement last winter, such pricing beat the monthly index by S0.10 per GJ. Historically, average daily prices have been lower than average monthly pricing. The Novagas Clearinghouse pricing includes the option of the CGPR Daily Index plus 50.01 per GJ -the smallest premium to index that GASAMO was offered. There is also an option to go with the Novagas Clearinghouse monthly gas purchase average at Empress plus S0.02 per GJ. The pricing in that situation would be dependent on Novagas Clearinghouse acquisition cost. If Novagas Clearinghouse can outperform the market, savings would be passed through to GASAMO. As ECNG has several suppliers selling on a similar basis, there would be incentive for Novagas Clearinghousg to do a good job. On the other hand, if Novagas Clearinghouse can not outperform the market, the monthly price would be capped at the CGPR monthly index plus S0.02 per GJ. Twenty five percent of the supply portfolio will be supplied by Novagas Clearinghouse on an indexed basis. The daily/monthly feature worked well over last winter, and should do the same this winter. The pricing for this portion gives GASAMO full participation should prices fall off next spring, allows GASAMO to benefit from daily pricing, and gives Novagas Clearinghouse the opportunity to pass on further savings.

As you will see, it deals with the subject of the' "gratuity" paid to retiring employees of the education system and is based on research L did at tl~e Mir:istry offices on January 30,1995. Basically, what this research revealed was that as of December 31,1993 the province-wide liability for gratuities was in excess of one billion dollars and that cash disbursements arr runninc_t at about 100 million dollars per year. As you no doubt know, last fall I did a similar analysis of the gratuity situation in the Northumberland /Clarington beard. The board's audited statement for 1993 revealed a payout of $889,000 in gratuities that year and a gross liability of over 17 million dollars, against which stood a reserve of $1,115,000 leaving an unfunded liability of $15,975,000. This latter number was N/C's share of the province-wide billion dollar unfunded liability at that point in time. My analysis also revealed that over the 1989-1993 period P!/C's liability had grown at a rate of almost 9$ compounded annually. If that ,trend has continued about $600,000•will be added to the N/C gratuity debt this year. Since my article appeared in the Star, I have learned from the chairperson of the Windsor board that their gratuity debt is also growing at a 4~ annual rate. This tends to~r_onfirm my belief that the total provincial gratuity debt is growing at about the same rate thereby producing an increase of somewhere between 40 and 5G million dollars this year. It should be obvious to all concerned that the gratuity policy, no matter lzow well-intentioned it may have been when it: was initiated, has long since become unnecessary and has turned into a monster. which must be - repeat: must b_e_ -killed. And the soot~er_ the bettor. I appreciate tt~e difficulties the board would face if it attempted to erase our gratuity debt on its own. Apparently, however, the Brant County RCCS board has succeeded in ghat regard and surely iC they could do it others can also. (I do not know the details of the F3rant settlement so I am not suggesting that they should necessarily be~a model.i 0 But there is another way. If I am not mistaken, you belong to a provincial association of school board trustees. Surely it would be possible for you to propose to your association that on behalf of all Ontario school boards it petition the Ministry to negotiate a settlement of the gratuity liability and close the policy down. Or, alternatively, you might wish to propose a different route to the same objective. Whatever. But something must be done. We can not go on like this. I'#, is utter madness. Speaking for myself, personally, I would like to see the full board discuss this topic in open session and then take a recorded vote. I believe your constituents deserve to know where you stand, individually, on this urgent issue. In any event, I would appreciate your informing me of whatever action you decide to take. Thank you.

Mr. Malowney states that my letter was discussed at your meei:ing of April 6/95 and that the fallowing motion was adopted: "that the. carrESpand~erice frori- Jack Foote ~r.egar3ing retirement gratuities be received for information." I wonder if the Trustees have any idea of the frustration and anger that a citizen feels when he has taken the i;rouble to research a substantive issue and then write to the 'Pru:.tees outlining the problem and recommending a course of. action only to be told that his letter. has been filed. For a moment, tr.y to pu;: yourself in the position of that citizen and imagine how 11e feels. Si nce delivering my 1•tarch 11th letter to you I have learned that cash disbursements for gratuities in 1994 totaled S98?,3s;4 (1993:$898,808}~ almost a million dollars! And the u:~funded liability grew by $925,000 from the previous year. Is it not obvious to you that with all of the other demands on the systc~:s, not to mention the well-founded desire on the part of the general public fpr_ no tax irr_reases, that it is utter folly far the EoaLd to be paying out almost'a r:il].ion dollars a year for unde~erveci and .unnecessary bonuses? The cap on elementary schaol~ teacher gratuities notwithstanding, this program is indefensible ~.r:d unsustainable. Recugnizing tiie~ extrernc di~ticulty you would have in atLampt:ing to overcome this problem by yourselves, I simply proposed, f:l t~lE March 11 letter, that you wort. through your. Provincia; . association of Trustees to organize a united appea"± to Queen s Park to intE~rvene and mediate a solution on a Pro•.~i:~ce-wide basis . The Metro Toro::to Public School Baard, f.or exan-pla, laid out :_3 million dollars ir. gratuities in 1993. I would l~i:~:e too ;:1?ir;.k that them must be at least some meirbers of that Board who woulry like to have had that: $23rnilion to spend in the classroom. 't'en sure there are other Boards who feel that way, Windsor be i t;y o;~e of them. I t should not be too nnrch trouble for yc•u to 1 i n~~ up =~ ~;rauta o~ them to join you in movzng foi: action on this issue. 'f 1 L In summary, what I am saying to you now is that your res onse to p my March 11 letter is unnacceptable and I hereby request that you re-visit this topic in open meeting and once again I request that a recorded vote be taken. This latter request was part of my March 11 letter and apparently it was ig nored.

Clarington Residents Education Committee L t March 11,1995 Reeve Ian Angus and Members of Council Township of Hope PO Box 85, Port Hope Ontario L1A 3V9 Gentlemen: re:"Gratuities" Enclosed herewith is a copy of my letter of March 11/95 to the school board on the above-mentioned subject including a copy of the referenced Op-Ed piece. As acknowledged in my article, the billion dollar gratuity debt- or, to bring it right home to our area, our 16 million dollar gratuity debt - is not technically an obligation of the municipalities. On the other hand, in the years ahead it will fall to the municipalities to collect that debt from local taxpayers. And with every year that passes the debt grows. Moreover, with every year that passes more sorely needed cash-- $889,000 in 1993 -- is squandered on these undeserved and unnecessary cash bonuses when more important needs go begging. Would you like to pause for a moment and consider what it is going to be like for municipal governments to collect the taxes to pay for 16 million or 18 million or 20 million dollars worth of gratuities? Nightmarish, no? We obviously can not go on like this. But what to do? You will note that I have recommended to the board that they attempt, through their provincial association, to put unified pressure on Queen's Park to bring an end to this madness. The purpose of this letter -- aside from keeping you informed, as is my custom, --is to recommend that you take similar action through the Association of Ontario Municipalities.Perhaps a good place to start would be to bring the rest of the municipalities in the County on board. I leave that to your discretion. You will know best how to proceed. • I do urge you, however, with every fibre of my being, to take. , strong action now. i will look forward to learning of your decision. Thank you.

Hamilton Township Ratepayers Assoc. v_ / MEMORANDUM May 15,1995 To: Trustees of the Northumberland/Glarington Board of Education From: Jack Foote re: Gratuities Trustee Tozer has stated that the new trustees, or at least some of them, are not sufficiently knowledgable an the subject of gratuities to reach an informed judgement. The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information that may help yo~x to get a clearer understanding of this subject. Although this is directed primarily at the new trustees I will distribute it to the entire Board. Please note: unless otherwise noted, the numbers used in this memo are a en rom reports pre ared by the Board's own auditor Definition: The gratuity is a cash payment -- a r_heque -- paid to eligible school board employees at the moment when they retire. Who gets it? Practically all employees -- primarily teachers, of course, but also principals, vice-principals and administrative staff. How is the payout calculated? The payment is based on sick days not aken. Teachers, etc. are entitled to ZO paid sick days per year. Any of those 20 days which they do not use are deposited, so to speak, to their gratuity account. When,,over the course of his/her career with the Board, the teacher (or principal or administrator) accumulates a total of 200 days in his/her gratuity account, he/she then qualifies for the maximum gratuity payout which is a half-year's salary r:al.culated on the basis of the salary the employee was earning in the final year of his/her career. An employee who spends 35 years in the system would have to deposit an average of 5 or 6 days (out of the allotted 20)per year to his/her account to attain the maximum payout limit. Are there any limitations? The Board negotiated a ceiling with elementary teachers whereby any of them hired after Sept. 1,1980 would only qualify for a maximum payout of $8,000. There is no cap on the payout to secondary teachers or administrators. Why was this policy instituted It was created many years ago, or so the story goes, at a time when teachers were underpaid and had poor pensions. It was intended to make up for that deficit. What is this policy costing the school system? There are two aspects to the ccst: (1) the annual cash payout, and (2) the mounting debt applicable to future payouts. e~ ~~ v (1) the annual cash payout (audit or's figures) over the past few years has been as fol lows: #persons total $ average $ year retiring paid out per person 1994 29 987,364 34,047 1993 31 888,808 28,671 1992 25 712,739 28,509 1991 20 299,357 14,968 1990 15 300,726 20,098 1989 37 848,229 22,925 As you can see, in 1994 gratuities cost the taxpayer almost one million dollars. Moreover, over the past six years more than 9 million dollars has been paid out in gratuities. For your information, the province-wide payout for all Boards in 1993 was 100 million dollars ( from my analysis of Ministry figures). (2) the mounting debt: The Minister of Education defines this debt as follows:"...this liability represents the estimated total payout that would be required if all of the eligible school board employees were to retire at the end of the year." As of De Korthumber cember 31, 1994 land/Clarington the total gratuity Board was $18,031,381. debt for the Against that debt stood a reserve of $1, 181,381, leaving an unfunded liability of 516,850 ,000. Here is the trend in the unfunded liability (the debt for which the Board has no funds in reserve) over the past few years: unfunded % change from year liability previous year 1994 $16,850,000 +5.5 1993 1992 $15,975,000 $15,219,000 +5.0 +9.5 1991 $14,559,000 +4.5 1990 $13,932,000 +9.5 1989 513,332,000 Per cent change from 1989 to 1994 :+26.4 As you will note, the increase from 1993 to 1994 was $925,000. At the current rate now) the unfunded of growth, by the liability will be 26 year 2002 (7 years from million dollars -- twice what it was just 6 years ago in 1989. ,. Why is the unfunded liability g rowincf? - a variety o_f reasons. For example: (1) sheer volume - - if there are 1600 employees (my estimate) covered by this policy and if, on average, each of them deposits half of his annual allottment of sick days to the gratuity account, that works out to 1600 x 10 = 16,000 days per year. Many of those employees would already ,of course, but nevertheless it (2) growth in the system - as exposure grows. have attained their 200 day max. ' is quite a volume. more employees are hired the (3)growth in salaries - every salary increase at~t the upper levels automatically pushes up the payout and liability. What are the issues? As I see it there are three: ' (1) Is the gratuity necessary? Although it may have been necessary when it was initiated~it is no longer necessary due to the great changes that have taken place since then in salaries and benefits. For example, here are average salaries paid in (from the Board's own figures): elementary school teachers ---- $51,403 vice-principals 564,154 " principals 575,540 secondary .school teachers $55,033 " vice-principals $75,383 " prinvipals 585,263 Further, pensions are now excellent. Why should it be necessary to pa~ the grastuities shown below to employees earning the salaries and pensions shown below ? Average Salary 35 years service Last 5 Years Pension Gratuity High School Teacher 560,000 $42,000 530,000 " " Principal $85,000 561,000 542,500 Senior Administrator. 5100,000 $70,000 $50,000 It baffles me how anyone can look at those numbers and still maintain that this policy is necessary. Obviously, need has turned into greed. Some say that the gratuity should just be capped. But if an expense is unnecessary it should be discontinued, not capped. (2) Is it warranted ? Proponents of gratuities claim that this bonus acts as a carrot or bribe which reduces absenteeism and eliminates the need and expense for the Board to employ temporary replacements. There are two answers to this argument:(a) any employee who is legitimately sick should not be enticed to come towork under any circumstances, and (b) any employee who stays home "sick" when he/she is not really sick should be disciplined, not rewarded. (3) Can we afford it? Having just completed a gut-wrenching budget process, you don't have to be told how every dollar counts. Repeat: gratuities cost the Board 5987,364°last year. Think how much easier it would be at budget time if that expense were eliminated. How (and when?!?!) are you going to tell the taxpayers that they are carrying a debt of 516,850,000 for this policy - a debt that is growing about 5~ every year? Extraneous matters -- as your debate on this topic evolves, many extraneous arguments will be put forward in favour of the status ~' ~ I qou. I urge you not to be deceived by irrelevant arguments. Stay focused on these three points: (1) the gratuity is no longer necessary (2) there is no valid excuse for continuing it (3) we can't afford it. What is it I am asking you to do? First, here is what I am NOT asking you to do: I am not asking you to even attempt to negotiate a settlement of this problem locally. The unions have made it clear that this is a strike issue. So, don't even bring it up with them. Here is what I am asking you to do: simply write a letter to the Minister of Education, copy to the Premier, telling him that this policy is unnecessary, unwarranted and unaffordable and asking him to step in and mediate a province-wide settlement. Then circulate this letter through your organization to all the Boards in Ontario asking for their support. It seems to me that this is a reasonable., request. It costs nothing but a little effort. If it is argued that it has been tried before unsuccessfully then I say "Try again! And again! And again!" We cannot continue squandering money like this. I hope that L-he foregoing has been helpful. If anyone has questions, I can be reached at (905) 797-2038. Once .again I would ask that a recorded vote be taken when this matter comes before the full Board for a final decision.

The Trust appreciated the assistance of your staff and the use of council chambers for its public discussion sessions. At the April 5, 1995 public meeting, the Trust presented a concept for discussion by the community and asked for comment and advice concerning the Trust's. mediated approach and further development of the concept Comments at the meeting and in letters subsequent indicated broad support. It was agreed, however, that more information was needed to be confident that the concept will be technically sound and the best practical resolution. ~ We would appreciate Clarington's response to the proposed process to be mediated by the Trust. As you are probably aware, a majprity of comity representatives and St. Mary's have already agreed to participate.

The event we request is a joint 10 km Walk-A-Thon and 25 km Bike-A-Thou. This will be our major fundraiser for the school with a portion being donated to charities such as the Terry Fox Foundation. The details of the routes are on the attached sheet. The walkers will take one route for 5 km and the cyclists will take a longer route for 13 km. Both groups will meet at Matt Marchant's Farm where we will have a Mass followed by a barbecue lunch in one of Matt's hay fields. After lunch the two groups will retrace their earlier routes. Considering this is the major school fundraiser we hope to involve all 500 students. Realistically we will be happy if 350 take part. Probably 75% will walk and 25% will bike. If granted permission the Municipality of Clarington will k3e listed as an additional insured agent for $1,000,000 liability. All cyclists will be required to wear protective head gear.

MAY 2 41995 MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON MAYUR'S OFFICE Having been at the April 3rd GPA meeting when the above report was discussed, I was astounded at the various interpretations bandied about by staff and councillors concerning what your legal counsel, Mr. Dennis Hefferon, said that day about the Freedom of Information interpretation chosen by the town. Councillor Novak and Mr. Stockwell in particular seem to have had difficulty remembering Mr. Hefferon's comments. I will tell you what my wife and I heard and would ask that you confirm this with Mr. Hefferon, because this is a very important point.. I believe he said ~~it was a permissive interpretation, it could be challenged, and (he) couldn't understand how those two sections quoted came to operate in this case~~. Will you please inform me in writing of what his comments were on this point? As well, when will this procedure review of Animal Control be in place, so that we can all be aware of how any such dog shooting would be handled in the future?

He noted that the hours during which the Traffic Study was conducted were not extensive enough and the observation points not necessarily appropriate. He referred to pages 1068 and 1070 of Report WD-22-95 and suggested that there are conflicting statistics contained therein. In his estimation, the problems have not been fully addressed and a further analysis needs to be undertaken. (c) Hugh Neill, 2111 Prestonvale Road, Courtice, L1E 2S2 re Report WD-22-95 -informed Members of Committee that he is disappointed with the proposed recommendation that Prestonvale Road be made an arterial road but is very pleased that the southern portion of Prestonvale Road will be realigned.

He circulated a letter from John and Enid Defoe, residents of Prestonvale Road, who also expressed support for the realignment of Prestonvale Road. (d) Kevin Fudge, 10 Bruntsfield Street, Courtice, L1 E 1 B4 re Report WD-22-95 -articulated support for the recommendations contained in Report WD-22-95 and advised that 94% of the traffic problems in the area are caused by local residents. He expressed his preference for option #2 on page 1072 of the report which recommends closing Bruntsfield Street north of the Bloor Street access, making it physically impossible for all traffic to access Bloor Street. He also suggested that the police service monitor the problems more closely. (e) John Hawryszko, 2588 Prestonvale Road, Courtice, L1 E 1 W1 re Report WD-22-95 -requested clarification regarding the types of roads, i.e., arterial vs. local.

Minutes -3- May 15, 1995 PUBLIC MEETINGS Councillor Dreslinski chaired this portion of the meeting. Pursuant to Section 34, Subsection 12 of the Planning Act, the Council of the Municipality of Clarington, through its General Purpose and Administration Committee, is holding Public Meetings for the following applications: (a) Proposed Comprehensive Zoning Amendment - Part Lot 32, Concession 3, former Township of Darlington - William Tonno Construction Ltd. O.P.A. #59 to the Official Plan of the former Town of Newcastle and Amendment No. 5 to the Courtice South Neighbourhood Plan - Newcastle 1 Limited Partnership and Newcastle II Limited Partnership, 289143 Ontario Ltd. and 765400 Ontario Ltd. The Deputy Clerk advised that public notices were sent by first class mail on or before April 15, 1995 to all property owners within 120 metres of the subject property in accordance to the latest municipal assessment record. In addition, notices were also posted on sites prior to April 15, 1995. This notice procedure is in compliance with Ontario Regulations made under the Planning Act. Public notice for the official plan amendment application and the amendment to the Courtice South Neighbourhood Plan were placed in local newspapers on or before April 15, 1995. This notice procedure is in compliance with Ontario Regulations made under the Planning Act. 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-46-95 -William Tonno Construction Ltd. -the purpose anti effect of the rezoning application is to implement the development of a plan of subdivision consisting of 102 single family dwelling units; 28 semi-detached link dwelling units; 66 townhouse dwelling units; and open space/valley land blocks. Acting Mayor Novak made a Declaration of Interest with respect to Report PD-46-95; vacated her chair and refrained from discussion and voting on the subject matter. Acting Mayor Novak is a resident of the area. Fred Finlayson, 14 Timberlane Court, Courtice, L1E 2H1 circulated a petition containing approximately seventeen signatures of persons objecting to the proposal and a copy of his presentation expressing concerns. Members of the Committee were requested to revisit this proposal for the following reasons: - the extension of the urban boundary is inappropriate and unnecessary, - the significance of the E.P. designation and revegetation of a significant area if development is allowed, - human traffic within the creeklands should be discouraged, - a significant buffer should exist between the developed areas at the top of the bank, - parklands should be located so as to deter children away from the creekland, - the probable ground effect on ground water needs to be better established, G.P. & A. Minutes PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D -4- r May 15, 1995 - the proposed high density would put a strain on the present infrastructure, specifically schools and road, - the proposal does not seem to be supported by both the Regional and Municipal levels, - the density of the proposal is too high, and - urban development should not be directly adjacent to rural development and a buffer space between the two would benefit both. Victor Humphrys, 5 Kresia Lane, Courtice, LIE 2G1 advised that the proposed development of 196 units is totally inappropriate and would compromise the environmental integrity of future generations. He stated that residential growth should occur within the context of the employment growth. He requested Members of the Committee to deny the expansion of the urban boundary because this development is premature and is not in harmony with the present ecological systems. Stan Racansky, 3200 Hancock Road, Courtice, LIE 2M1 appeared on behalf of the Friends of the Farewell who are opposed to this application and questioned why this reaoning is even being considered by the committee. Kerry Meydam, 3828 Trulls Road, Courtice, LIE 2L3 stated that she is very much opposed to this application because of the domino effect which it will create and the undue burden on municipal services. She concurred with the comments made by previous speakers. No one spoke in support of this application. 1Nlliam Tonno Construction Ltd., 650 King Street East, Suite 215, Oshawa, L1H 1G5 circulated a petition containing approximately 42 signatures of area residents who support the urbanization of North Courtice. These persons petitioned and requested the Minister of Municipal Affairs to promptly approve the living area designation for deferral area No. 6 in the 1991 Region of Durham Official Plan. (b) PD-47-95 - Newcastle I Limited Partnership and Newcastle II Limited Partnership; 289143 Ontario Ltd. and 765400 Ontario Ltd. -the purpose and effect of the proposed zoning amendment is: (i) Amendment #59 -extends the Courtice Urban Area boundary and establishes land uses, population targets, and road classifications for this area. The amendment also provides for policies on residential areas and densities, stormwater management and the preparation of a neighbourhood secondary plan which applies generally to the Courtice Urban Area. {ii) Amendment #5 - to the Courtice South Neighbourhood Plan redefines the boundaries to the Neighbourhood, amends land use and road designations, adjusts residential density categories and incorporates various technical modifications in conformity with proposed Amendment #59 to the Official Plan. ~7 G.P. & A.

"CARRIED" The meeting reconvened at 11:10 a.m. t May 15, 1995 John Stezik, 125 Glennabbey Drive, Courtice L1E 267 questioned why new development is being considered when the Courtice South lots have not yet been completed. Hugh Neill, 2111 Prestonvale Road, Courtice, L1E 2S2 requested that Members of the Committee solve the problems on Prestonvale Road before considering any new application. David Smith, P.O. Box 100, 1 First Canadian Place, Toronto, M5X 162 appeared on behalf of Courtice Heights Development who have owned a parcel of land located in Courtice neighbourhood 3C for over twenty years. The land has had an urban designation since 1959 and this proposal would remove this designation on two thirds of his client's lands. He requested that this land be exempted from the freeze as his client will oppose this proposal every inch of the process. He requested Members of the Committee to defer any further consideration until Council reviews the whole picture. Luanne McNab, 748 Down Crescent, Oshawa, L1H 7Y1 articulated opposition to the townhouses being proposed directly across the street from her residence as these are not compatible with the size of the existing homes which are over 2,000 square feet in size. Kenneth W. Gray, 751 Down Crescent, Oshawa, L1H 7X9 articulated opposition to townhouses being erected across the street from his residence and urged Members of the Committee to develop a road system before considering any new development. Susan Jenkins, 1467 Prestonvale Road, Courtice, L1E 2P2 agreed with the comments made by Mr. Neill that a plan for Prestonvale Road be created before any new development is considered because the same problems will be created on Prestonvale south of Bloor similar to the problems existing on Prestonvale north of Bloor. Robert Cowle, 2682 Prestonvale Road, Courtice L1E 2R9 requested that the problems pertaining to Prestonvale Road be resolved before any new development is approved. He suggested that Townline be bridged and continued to Hwy. 401, and that the roadways which include Glenabbey Drive, Robert Adams Drive and Oak Road all be completed. George West, 2640 Prestonvale Road, Courtice, L1E 2R9 concurred with the comments made by Bob Cowle. No-one spoke in support of this application. t G.P. & A.

He advised that Henry Stolp no longer has an interest in this company. He articulated support for the recommendations contained in Report PD-47-95 and advised that approval of the application would provide for the completion of a complete grid pattern of roadways and traffic controls. Stephen Diamond from McCurtylTetault, Toronto-Dominion Centre -thanked staff for the time spent with the applicant regarding the process of the application and noted that he had three major areas of concern: (i) On page 596 of Report PD-47-95 -conditions under which Council may declare a residential plan of subdivision premature refers to the principals of Section 6.8.2 (iii) (c) - "the priority for development in or adjacent to the community central area shown on this plan" - in Mr. Diamond's estimation, this is unequivocally inappropriate. (ii) On page 599 on Report PD-47-95, Section 10.3.4 (schools) -lands should ' be given a default designation in the event the school board does not acquire the lands. On page 599 01, the word "generally" should be added before the sentence "a minimum frontage comprising at least 25% of the site perimeter". (iii) Section 10.3.5.2 of Report PD-47-95 pertaining to community park, Mr. Diamond advised is not directly related to the application and falls outside the boundary. It is inappropriate and premature. He advised that these comments had been forwarded in writing by correspondence dated May 10, 1995 to staff. Jane Pepino, Aird and Berlis, Suite 1800, 181 Bay Street, Toronto, M5J 2T9 - appeared on behalf of 289143 Ontario Limited and referred to her letter dated May 12, 1995 to the Director of Planning and Development. She advised that she shares Mr. Diamond's concerns and suggested solutions through modifications to wording. She suggested the following: - the proposed community park should be relocated - On page 599 - 01, Item 10.3.5.2 pertaining to community park, ("in the vicinity of Bloor Street and Prestonvale Road" should be deleted - On page 599 - 10 pertaining to the Amendment #59 to the Official Plan, "community park symbol" should be removed from the plan. Kevin Tunney, Tunney Planning, 340 Byron Street South, Suite 200, Whitby, Ontario L1N 4P8 -appeared on behalf of 765400 Ontario Limited and suggested that, if determination is made by the school board that it does not need the site, the applicant not be required to apply for an Official Plan Amendment to develop the site. This could be accommodated by having a clause or a waiver in the Offer of Purchase and Sale to make future homeowners aware of this fact. He advised that the traffic report pertaining to Prestonvale Road further exacerbates the problems pertaining to the school site as it was never mentioned that Prestonvale Road might be realigned and this might jeopardize the whole planning exercise. 1 is G.P. & A.

That Report ADMIN. 18-95 be received; 2. That the proposed resolution pertaining to the Low Level Radioactive Waste presently located at Port Granby be approved; 3. That the approved resolution be forwarded to the appropriate government agencies requesting a position on the question of marginally contaminated soils; and 4. That the Siting Task Force and the Clarington Community Liaison Group be advised of the above. REPORT: The attached correspondence dated January 16 1995 from the Clarington Community Liaison Group was forwarded to the office of the Chief Administrative Officer to, along with the Mayor, communicate with the representatives of the communities of Deep River, Port Hope and Hope Township regarding the suggestion that the marginally contaminated soils remain at the Port Granby site. The Mayor and the Chief Administrative Officer have had a series of meetings with their counterparts in the above mentioned municipalities to investigate the suggestion that it may be appropriate that some of the marginally contaminated soils remain at the Port Granby site. During the course of these meetings, the question was asked as to what the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy will permit to be left on site. It was agreed between the Municipal representatives that the four Municipal Councils pass a like resolution asking for some direction from the Ministry on this question. ~A,f~°®,~,~.~~E ~ ~a. a vrawi:n nrv ~rtcvci ro nnren It is recommended that the attached resolution be passed by the Municipal Council of the four municipalities so that both the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy and the Atomic Energy Control Board make it clear to the municipalities as to what level of contamination may be left on site should that be the decision of the municipalities. On passing the proposed resolution, we shall then send it on to the appropriate government agencies and await their reply. Respectfully submitted, / N f~ W. H.

January 16, 1995 Her Worship Mayor Diane Hamre & Members of Council, Good Evening, My name is John Veldhuis, and I am Chairman of the Clarington Community Liaison Group. The Clarington Community Liaison Group (CLG) appreciates the support you have shown for Opting for Cooperation regarding the siting process for the low-level radioactive waste currently located at the Port Granby lakefront site. The members appreciate the confidence shown in them through your Resolution of November 23, 1994 and thank you for it. At this point I would like to update you further on the process: 1. Deep ,River is still in the process. After some difficulties and the resignation of the. Deep River CLG members, the process is continuing there with staff from the Siting Task Force Secretariat keeping the people informed. 2. Port Hope, by Resolution of the previous Council, opted to become a potential volunteer community. Three options are being examined, two of which involve deep cavern disposal. 3. The Clarington CLG now has information and/or reports on the following topics: The Siting Task Force has suggested that, in order to reduce the volume of contaminated soil to be moved, we look carefully at the possibility of removing only the primary and secondary wastes, leaving-behind the marginally contaminated soils. To clean-up these marginally contaminated soils in situ, there are several alternatives to be considered, e.g. soil washing. In order to leave the marginally contaminated soil the STF recommended clean-up level for arsenic is 30 ppm. on average, for the site. However, it has been the. position of the Clarington CLG to recommend clean-up criteria parallel to the OTR98 of 11-17 ppm. For your information, the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MOEE) clean-up guideline for arsenic is 20-25 ppm. The natural background level for Port Granby is 1-2 ppm. The average concentration for orchards is 50 ppm. There are a numnber of other contaminants to consider, but arsenic has been used as a example for the purpose of this presentation, because it has the tendency to travel the fastest and the furthest in the soil thereby contaminating the native soils. At this time we ask for your guidance and direction regarding the above mentioned suggestions from the Siting Task Force. As always, as Chairman of the Clarington Community Liaison Group, I appreciate the opportunity to address you on this important question of a safe., healthy environment. The CLG is willing to discuss this matter at your request.

THAT should Council decide to approve Amendment #59 to the Official Plan of the former Town of Newcastle, that Section 6.8.2 (iii)(c) and Section 10.3.4.2 be modified in accordance with the Attachments to this Report. • REPORT: 1. As a result of the delegations made at the General Purpose and Administration Committee on May 15, 1995, staff have further reviewed the proposed Amendment #59 contained as Attachment #5 to Report PD-47-95. Two modifications are proposed as follows: i) With respect to concerns raised by Mr. Stephen Diam®nd about the phasing policies contained in proposed Section 6.8.2 (iii)(c), a modification is proposed to remove the words "priority for" with respect to intensification and infilling. This would ensure greenfield development is not considered a lower priority than intensification and infilling. REPORT TO COUNCIL PAGE 2 ii) With respect to concerns raised about school site design policies, it has been staff's intent to ensure that the elementary school is functionally and symbolically the central element of the neighbourhood. This necessitates that the school is visually prominent from the street and not substantially hidden behind houses. It would be desirable for schools to have frontage on two sides but as a minimum, at least one full side should have street frontage. On this basis, staff was proposing that a minimum frontage for the school should be 25$ of the site perimeter. However, in response to the submission of Mr. Diamond requesting greater flexibility on this issue, it is proposed that the policy be less prescriptive and indicate that "generally" the frontage shall be at least 25$ of the site perimeter (see Attachment ~2). This would allow for some reduction from the 25; standard but ensure that the principle of visual prominence is adhered to. 2. The changes are indicated on the attachments to this report. 3. With respect to all other issues raised by residents and proponents, staff's position remains unchanged. Respectfully submitted, Reviewed by, r ~ ~,~ Franklin Wu, M.C.I.P., R.P.P.

THAT Report PD-47-95 be received for information;. and, 2. THAT Council provide direction with respect to the options outlined in Section 9 of this report. ERECUTIVE SUMMARY • Official Plan Amendment applications have been filed by Newcastle I Limited Partnership and Newcastle II Limited Partnership (OPA 89- 32/C), 765400 Ontario Limited (OPA 95-003/C) and 289143 Ontario Limited (OPA 95-004/C). • Council exempted the first applicant from the administrative freeze on the processing of applications in the expansion areas during the period of the Official Plan Review. Consequently, the South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Planning Study was undertaken by three proponents. • ~ Two planning documents are forwarded for Council's consideration as a result of this planning study and public consultation: ~; - 5 ~ t REPORT NO.: PD-47-95 PAGE 2 - Amendment #59 to the Official Plan, incorporating a Secondary , Plan for the South-West Courtice Neighbourhood - Amendment #5 to the Courtice South Neighbourhood Plan. • In consideration of an earlier report on September 19, 1994, Council referred the report back to Staff to undertake additional work in resolving various issues. t • All issues regarding the siting of the elementary schools, neighbourhood park and the impact of the amount of fill have been resolved. • The Secondary School site in Neighbourhood 2A is located to the satisfaction of the Municipality and the School Board. An ' alternative school site was investigated and deemed unacceptable by the School Board. • A community park site has been indicated symbolically in the area south of Bloor Street and east of Prestonvale Road. Municipal Staff and the landowner, 289143 Ontario Limited, have not agreed on a specific location for this park. These lands are also subject of a separate Official Plan Amendment application to permit residential uses on these lands. • Totten Sims Hubicki (TSH) was retained by the Planning Department in December, 1994 to undertake a traffic impact assessment and review -the concerns related to Prestonvale Road. TSH concluded that the proposed residential development would result in impacts which cannot be accommodated without improvements on the regional and local road network. Traffic from the Courtice South Employment Area in the future will further increase the need for capacity on the road network. • TSH has confirmed Staff's recommendation that Prestonvale Road is essential as a Type C arterial. It would cost up to $1 million to redesign Prestonvale Road as a local road and upgrade Robert Adams Drive as a Type C arterial; this is not practical nor desirable since it would simply transfer the problems to less desirable roads. As currently proposed, the volume of traffic would at least be shared by both Prestonvale Road and Robert Adams Drive. As the result of Council's decision to retain Prestonvale Road as a local road, Staff cannot support the adoption of Amendment ,~59 as currently drafted in Attachment #5. If Council adopts the recommendations of the Director of Public Works contained in Report WD-22-95, appropriate revisions will be required to the amendment document. • The developers group had a number of concerns with the text of the proposed amendment, most notably with the phasing and prematurity policies of Section 6.8.2 (iii)(c) and 6.8.2 (iv). Staff have made several modifications, but, the developers group remain opposed to these policies. 512 L '] REPORT NO.: PD-47-95 PAGE 3 • The developers group raised concerns with the interpretation policies which would result in this Amendment being superseded by the new Clrlington Official Plan. In order to address this concern, the Neighbourhood Development Plan has been transformed into a Secondary Plan (a statutory document under the Planning Act) which is to be carried forward into the new Official Plan. • The proposed amendments deal only with the principle of development. .The processing of the plans of subdivision and rezoning are premature at this point due to the substantial servicing requirements not incorporated into either the Region's or the Municipality's development charges. i 1. APPLICATIONS 1.1 Newcastle I Limited Partnership and Newcastle II Limited Partnership (referred to in this report as NLP) Stolp Homes (Newcastle) Developers submitted an Official Plan Amendment application (File No. OPA 89-32/C) to amend the Official Plan of the former Town of Newcastle to include the subject lands in the Courtice Urban Area and to designate their lands for residential and related uses. This application was subsequently assumed by NLP. The subdivision and rezoning applications, which will be considered independently at a later date, propose 168 single-detached units, 130 semi-detached or link units, and 189 townhouse units. This application also proposes sites for a separate school, public school and a parkette. 1.1.1 Location and Area The subject site is located on the south side of Regional Road No. 22 (Bloor Street), immediately east of Townline Road. It is a 30.5 hectare parcel of land in part Lot 35, Concession 1, former Township of Darlington (Attachment #1). 1.2. 765400 Ontario Limited 1.2.1 The application (File No. OPA 95-003/C) seeks to amend the Official Plan of the former Town of Newcastle to allow residential development of 450 units.

EBISTING LAND QSES 3.1 The entire planning area is rural in character with agriculture being the predominant use. A major agricultural operation is located in the south-west corner of the study area. This is a mixed farm operation including hogs and crops. Also found in the planning area is a horse boarding facility. The remaining a riculture uses consist of various cro s. Two arcels totallin g P P g 34 hectares, which were formerly used for agricultural purposes, are now vacant. There are a total of nine dwellings in the planning area. Six houses are presently or were formerly associated with farm operations. The remaining three units are on half hectare estate type lots which may have been severed from the adjacent farms as retirement lots. Other land uses in the planning area include a telephone communication tower located on a 0.70 ha site along Townline Road and a cemetery occupying an 8.35 ha site at the south end of the planning area. _ i 56 1 io REPORT NO.: PD-47-95 PAGE 7 4. SQRROIINDING LAND IISES 4.1 The planning area is surrounded by the following land uses: North - The existing Courtice Major Urban Area, consisting of predominantly single family dwellings. East - Agricultural uses along with rural non-farm residences. South - Two rail lines and Highway 401 are located to the immediate south of the Study Area. West - A low density residential area and vacant lands is found along the west side of Townline Road in the City of Oshawa. 5. OVERVIEW OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 5.1 The South-West Courtice Planning Study was undertaken to incorporate additional lands into the Courtice Urban Area. This resulted in expanding existing Neighbourhood 2A and adding a new Neighbourhood 4 (Attachment #2). This is accomplished through the following planning instruments: i) Official Plan Amendment #59 which now incorporates the South- West Courtice Neighbourhood Secondary Plan (Attachment #6); and, ii) Amendment #5 to the C©urtice South Neighbourhood Plan (Attachment #5). The Planning Study covered an area of 154 hectares (380 acres) of which 124 hectares (306 acres) is in the new Neighbourhood 4. Some of the relevant statistics about the planned land uses are as follows: Neighbourhood 4 2A-South Estimated Housing Units low density 1355 280 medium density 350 80 medium-high density 160 0 Total 1865 360 Gross Residential Density (Units per Hectare) 15 15 (Units per Acre) 6.07 6.07 Estimated PoQulation 5900 1200 Estimated Student Yield Public Elementary 563 115 Separate Elementary 295 61 Total 858 176 517 REPORT NO.: PD-47-95 PAGE 8 Public Secondary 187 36 Separate Secondary 59 7 Total 246 43 Planned Schools Public Elementary 2.42 ha 2.42 ha Separate Elementary 2.42 ha n/a 1 Public Secondary n/a 6.07 ha Parkland Neighbourhood Park 3.9 ha n/a ~ Parkettes 1.7 ha n/a Commercial Convenience Centre 0.2 ha Corner Stores Permitted in Residential Areas ~ 6. AGENCY COMMENTS 6.1 At various stages in the Study, the South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Plan was circulated to obtain comments from other departments and agencies. After the September 19, 1994, the revised South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Plan and Amendments #5 and #59 were circulated, however, some agencies did not provide comments on the latest documents. The following is a summary of the comments provided to date. 6.2 Clarington Public Works Clarington Public Works Department reviewed the consultant's recommended South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Plan (December, 1993) and provided a number of detailed comments. Since the September 19, 1994 meeting, the Public Works Department has been engaged in ongoing discussions with other consultants to resolve outstanding issues. The issues are discussed later in Section 8. 6.3 Clarinaton Community Services The Community Services commented as follows: • the need for parkettes should be addressed in the text, but should not be shown on the Secondary Plan Map; • overland flow shall not be located on, but, may abut parkland; and, • continuation of the recreational trail east of Prestonvale Road shall be done in connection with any upgrading of this road and may be considered as a grade separation. - 513 r REPORT NO.: PD-47-95 PAGE 9 Due to ongoing discussions with Planning Staff and the landowners group, the Community Services Department is now satisfied with the proposed Official Plan Amendment. 6.4 Clarington Fire Department The Clarington Fire Department expressed concerns with the response time to the Courtice south area. In ideal conditions, full time firefighters can respond to the area in 6-8 minutes, but, this time barely meets the 4-6 minutes that the Department strives for. The ideal recommended response time for urban areas is 3-5 minutes. Response time to the area by part time firefighters ( from 6 : 00 p. m. - 6:00 a.m.) is approximately 9-10 minutes. Future residential growth and industrial growth will probably necessitate a fire station in the Courtice Road/ Baseline Road or Baseline Road/ Prestonvale Road area to insure quick response time. The only other alternative to address this concern, is to ensure that full time Staff are available 24 hours a day prior to growth and expansion in the Bloor Street/Prestonvale Road/Townline Road areas. This issue is discussed in Section 8.8 of this report. 6.5 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority Comments provided by CLOCA in November 1994, indicated that CLOCA does not have any objection to the proposed Plan. CLOCA did note the following: • Section 5.1 of Plan generally addresses CLOCA's previous concerns regarding the Robinson Creek West Tributary; • development proponents are required for revegetation of the tributary corridor as a condition of development; • current estimation of the required stormwater management facilities may have to be enlarged, once the final design of the ponds is completed; • deletion of reference to specific allotted area for the facility provides greater flexibility to accommodate the evolvement of an appropriate final design of the required stormwater management facilities; and, 519 REPORT NO.: PD-47-95 PAGE 10 • polices for Sections 6.8.2 (v), (vi), and (vii) promote a coordinated approach towards a phased implementation of the required stormwater management works. 6.6 Separate School Board The Separate School Board is satisfied with the proposed school/park campus indicated on the Neighbourhood Plan. It indicated no objection to the amount of fill being used, but, the r Board will exercise some control over the method of construction. 6.7 Public School Board The Public School Board noted that they are: • concerned with the amount of fill required on the site and consequently, would require engineered fill that will accept standard building footings without having to .excavate to undisturbed soil; • concerned with a ditch/trench approximately two metres deep between the two proposed school sites; • requesting that the property comply with the Elementary School Site Standards from the Boards Standards and Design Guide; and, • unsure as to the format of the elementary school site and consequently, requests that six acres be allowed for the site. 6.8 Regional Public Works ' Regional Public Works previously provided comments on the Consultant's Recommended Neighbourhood Plan (December 1993) and these include: • servicing limits for this neighbourhood are controlled by the depth of the existing sanitary sewer on Grandview Drive in Oshawa and consequently, the Region will only accept a gravity drainage catchment area to this sewer; • Region of Durham will permit the reconstruction of a portion of the existing Grandview Drive sanitary sewer at the applicable developer's expense so that a larger gravity catchment area can be accommodated with the Neighbourhood; • proposed east-west collector should be aligned with Grandview Drive; ~z~ 1 REPORT NO.: PD-47-95 PAGE 11 • signalization is recommended on Bloor Street intersecting with Townline Road, Robert Adams Drive extension and Prestonvale Road; • servicing for the southern portion of Neighbourhood 4 will be the subject of a future study which will include the interchange with Highway 401, a weigh station and an access for General Motors from the south side of Highway 401; • Regional Works Department would not consider the installation of sanitary sewers at a depth greater than 7.5 m to provide gravity drainage for lands external to the Grandview Sub-Trunk system; and, • they have reviewed the geotechnical investigation report and preliminary sanitary servicing plans and are satisfied that engineered fill can be placed and gravity sanitary sewers can be extended to the southeast quadrant of the NLP lands. 6.9 Regional Planning Department The Regional Planning Department previously requested clarification on a number of points from the Consultant's Recommended Neighbourhood Plan (December 1993) including: • policies and designations regarding hazard lands; • policies for the protection, conservation and/or enhancement of cultural heritage resources; • policies and designations for alternative forms of housing for special needs groups; • implementation and monitoring procedures required to meet the Provincial objective of ensuring an adequate amount of new affordable residential units; • policies and designations regarding maximum unit sizes; • policies which provide for appropriate criteria to permit garden suites; • need for an analysis to ensure that the proposed convenience commercial block will not adversely affect any Community or Local Central Area currently designated; • urban design guidelines and solutions which would implement Section 8.3.10 c) of the Durham Region Official Plan; • policies which promote transit supportive development forms and patterns; and, • policies regarding a grid pattern of roads. - 521 REPORT NO.• PD-47-95 PAGE 12 In preparing the Amendment document, Staff have addressed the concerns or will be addressing them in the context of the new Official Plan. 6.10 Ministry of the Environment The Ministry of Environment has noted that it is unable to review the documents due to its current workload. 6.11 Ministry of Natural Resources The Ministry of Natural Resources has noted that the Robinson Creek Master Drainage Plan Amendment Document has addressed the Ministry's concerns for this development. 6.12 Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation The Ministry has no objection to the proposed. development, but, ~ states that the subject lands have a high potential for the discovery of archaeological remains. They recommend that an archaeological assessment be completed prior to any earth disturbance as a condition of draft approval. r 6.13 City of Oshawa The City of Oshawa has offered a number of comments on the - Consultant's Recommended Plan (December 1993) including: • east-west collector road. from Townline Road should not align with Grandview Drive, a collector road within the City of Oshawa; • Road Classifications refer to Townline Road as a Type "B" arterial whereas the Durham Regional Official Plan designates this as a Type "C" arterial; • Townline Road is subject to a Boundary Road Agreement between Clarington and Oshawa and it would have been preferable if this agreement has been referenced in the Draft Neighbourhood Plan; • City of Oshawa prefers housing types and densities similar to those which exist in Oshawa along Townline Road; and, • some concern that the possibility of servicing lands in the South-West Courtice area may affect the timing and level of servicing, in the short to midterm, of existing development areas. _ , 522 D REPORT NO.: PD-47-95 PAGE 13 7. OPEN HOIISES, PIIBLIC MEETINGS AND SIIHMISSIONS 7.1 _Apolicants' Public Ooen Houses (Februarv 17 December 1, 1993) In accordance with the terms of reference provided by Staff for the South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Study, the applicant conducted two public open houses which were held on February 17, 1993 and December 1, 1993. The concerns raised by Oshawa residents to the Options Report are summarized as follows: • opposition to higher density residential development; • traffic impacts on Grandview Drive and Prestonvale Road; • need for connecting bridge on Townline Road; and, • realignment of Bloor Street and intersection improvements. 7.2 Public Meeting (March 7. 1994) A Public Meeting concerning the South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Plan as prepared by the applicant was held before the General Purpose and Administration Committee on March 7, 1994 (PD-23-94). Verbal comments made at the Public Meeting and written submissions received indicated concerns with the proposal which is summarized as follows: • opposed to the use of agricultural land for housing; • proposed Plan would interfere with a current farming operation which has been in operation for many years; • Prestonvale Road should not be designated as an arterial road because it would allow a large number of vehicles to move at a high rate of speed on the road; • the view of the lake would be taken away with the construction of new homes; • development area north of Mother Teresa School should be completed before other projects are allowed to proceed; ~ - 523 REPORT NO.: PD-47-95 PAf; 14 • proposed church should have an appropriately sized parking lot; and, • concerned over the traffic problems in the vicinity of Old Bloor Street and Townline Road. 7.3 Public Meetina and Proposed Amendment (September 19 199 A second Public Meeting in which Staff recommended approval of the South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Plan and Amendments #5 and #59, was held before the General Purpose and Administration Committee on September 19, 1994 (PD-110-94). Council subsequently referred this report back to Staff to resolve all outstanding issues. A summary of the verbal and written comments made concerning the proposal include: • letters and a petition containing 105 signatures indicating opposition to the proposed change of Prestonvale Road to a Type "C" Arterial Road; • Robert Adams Drive should be opened up to meet Bloor Street and Townline Road should be bridged to create a direct route; and, • proposed secondary school should not be located on Prestonvale Road as it would create more traffic. In addition, Mr. William D. Manson, on behalf of Courtice Heights Developments, raised a number of concerns (see Attachment #3) in relation to the development priority of lands in Courtice North Neighbourhood 3 versus the new Neighbourhood 4 proposed in Amendment #59. His main comments are: • Applications by NLP, 765400 Ontario Limited and 289143 Ontario Limited should only be considered in the context of the final Clarington Official Plan since only in that context could the full implications of the various issues be addressed. This is appropriate since Courtice Heights' applications were folded into the Official Plan Review process. 524 ~7 REPORT NO.: PD-47-95 PAGE 15 • The Draft Official Plan excludes 100 acres of Neighbourhood 3C which was designated for residential development for 15 years, but, proposes to include lands (362 acres) in the South-West Courtice area which were only included since the 1991 Durham Region Official Plan was approved. • Approving a population target automatically committing 10,400 modified Neighbourhoods 2A and 4, neglects the priority nature designated in the 1976 Regional Courtice Urban Area Plan. of 31,000 persons and persons of that total to is inappropriate because it of those neighbourhoods Official Plan and the 1980 • Recommends that the low density target should be increased from a maximum of 25 units to 30 units per net residential hectare and that the medium density target should be adjusted from 25-60 units to 30-60 units per net residential hectare. • Concerned about the phasing policies and the policies outlining conditions in which a plan of subdivision may be considered premature. A copy of all submissions received from the public to date are included in Attachment ~3. 7.4 Public Notice for Amendments and Neighbourhood Secondarv Plan A notice for this public meeting was placed in the Courtice News, Clarington This Week and Oshawa This Week on April 12, 1995. In addition, all residents who were on the Interested Parties List, were notified by mail. 8. STAFF COMMENTB 8.1 Through the comprehensive planning study undertaken of the South- West Courtice area, a number of key issues were raised. The discussion of Staff comments is organized in these sections as f of lows (i) Issues which have not changed from September 19, 1994 • Grandview Street Extension • Townline Road/Prestonvale Road Interchange • Residential Densities • Stormwater Management (ii) Issues which were the subject of further study as a result of Council's referral back to Staff include • Prestonvale Road • Community Park • Emergency Services 525 REPORT NO.: PD-47-95 PAGE 16 • Secondary School Site • Elementary School Campus • Fill Requirements for School Sites (iii) Issues raised by the proponents or other parties • Phasing and Prematurity Policies • Interpretation Policy and Secondary Plan • Courtice North versus Courtice South 8.2 Grandview Street Extension A number of residents and the City of Oshawa have raised concerns about a direct connection for the east-west collector to Grandview Drive (a collector road in Oshawa). The City of Oshawa is opposed to a collector road access aligning with Grandview Drive since their Staff anticipate that it will encourage short cutting through Grandview Drive to access Bloor Street East and Highway 401. The current plan proposes a short collector road connection to Townline Road at Grandview Drive, but, the internal road configuration would serve to limit the amount of traffic directly accessing Grandview Drive in Oshawa. The Region has agreed to permit several local roads intersecting with Townline Road. It is impossible, however, to stop all traffic from using Grandview Drive due to the westerly orientation of trip movements and the need to provide access to Townline Road for a large neighbourhood. It is noted that the City of Oshawa has four roads providing access to the residential neighbourhood west of Townline Road. 8.3 Townline Road/Prestonvale Road Interchange The South Courtice Employment Area Study recommended that a new interchange with Highway 401 be constructed in the vicinity of Prestonvale Road. While such a scheme is technically possible, more recent work has found that it may be prohibitively expensive. The Region is currently undertaking an Environmental Assessment for the Col. Sam interchange in the City of Oshawa. Access to the Courtice Employment Area is an issue in this Assessment. One alternative may be a connection to the Col. Sam interchange. The resolution of this issue will necessitate further amendments to 1 the various planning documents. - 5z~ ~ 1 i~ REPORT NO.: PD-47-95 PAGE 17 8.4 Residential Densities A number of residents raised concerns that housing densities will be too high. The Neighbourhood Plan proposes a gross residential density for Neighbourhood 4 of six units per acre in comparison to the current gross residential density for Courtice of approximately five units per acre. The proposed density is in conformity with the Draft Clarington Official Plan. In addition, the Durham Region Official Plan promotes urban areas to be compact, efficient, accessible and comprised of mixed uses. It states that compact form development is to take place through higher densities and by intensifying and redeveloping existing areas, particularly along arterial roads and in conjunction with present and potential transit facilities. The Secondary plan placed the higher concentration of densities in the "Planning Precinct". It is noted that the two high density sites in Neighbourhood 4 are designated on Prestonvale Road, away from most existing residential areas in Oshawa and Courtice. The Plan amendments also propose to amend the definition of net residential densities. This is consistent with the draft Official Plan and moves the Courtice densities closer to the existing densities for the Bowmanville urban area. 8.5 Stormwater Management The stormwater detention pond is proposed for the south-east corner of the NLP lands. This location seems to be generally acceptable to all review agencies, although the detailed design can be finalized in conjunction with the plan of subdivision. The pond has been enlarged from earlier designs and will include water quantity and quality functions. The Plan requires a suitable buffer area to enable the pond to be appropriately integrated with adjacent development. It is noted, however, that the preliminary design necessitates a significant alteration to the downstream portion of the Robinson Creek tributary. The gradient of the stream will be lowered to accommodate the outfall from the pond. The policies of the Plan require the proponent to incorporate - 527 REPORT NO.: PD-47-95 PAGE 18 natural channel design features and maintain or improve the ecological state of the stream. This includes revegetation of the tributary. 8.6 Prestonvale Road In Report PD-110-94, Staff had recommended that Prestonvale Road be redesignated from a local road to a Type "C" arterial. Staff made this recommendation due to the expansion of the Courtice Urban area which resulted in a large increase in the planned population (20,000 to 45,000), and, the designation of a large employment area in South Courtice, which points to the need for an improved transportation network to service these lands. It was also noted that the Durham Regional Official Plan designates the portion of Prestonvale Road south of Glenabbey as a Type "C" arterial. On September 26, 1994, Council adopted the following resolution: THAT Prestonvale remain designated as a local road from Robert Adams Drive South. In December 1994, the Municipality engaged Totten Sims Hubicki Associates to undertake a review of the transportation network for the residential and employment areas in the area of eourtice (see Attachment #4). In their conclusions, the .consultant noted that traffic volumes will increase on Prestonvale Road, Robert Adams Drive and Glenabbey Drive. Furthermore, the consultant recognized that Council wanted to maintain a local roadway status on Prestonvale Road, but noted that "such status is not considered practical and therefore it is recommended that it be designated a Type "C" arterial roadway in the Official Plan as originally envisaged, to realistically reflect its intended function and actual use." In addition, the consultant noted that: the complete development of Phase 1 of the South- west Courtice Neighbourhood as proposed cannot be accommodated on the local transportation network without improvements to the local and Regional transportation network as described .above. Only 5~8 r REPORT NO.: PD-47-95 PAGE 19 500-600 residential units could be developed in the area until significant network improvements are effected. 8.7 Community Park One conclusion reached by the South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Study and the Draft Clarington Official Plan was that a community park of approximately 30-40 acres is required to service the south- west portion of the Courtice urban area. It would be located in the southerly portion of Courtice in the vicinity of Bloor Street and Prestonvale Road. 289143 Ontario Limited objects to the location of the proposed community park because they believe that the community park issue is a separate issue unrelated to the South-West Courtice amendments. They have proposed an alternate location which includes approximately 10 acres of their land. Amendment #59 indicates the conceptual location of the community park site and allows for future resolution of the precise location. 8.8 Eme~Y Services After receiving Report PD-110-94, Council raised concerns about the provision of emergency services. Since then, discussions have taken place between the Planning Department, the Firs Department, the applicant and the ward Councillors. The Developers group has indicated a willingness to assist the Municipality to improve emergency fire services and some discussion did take place concerning the location of a new site and the erection of a fire hall. It was determined that this issue does not need to be pursued further until the Neighbourhood Secondary Plan is in place. A policy has been placed in Section 10.3.14.2 of the Secondary Plan to ensure that adequate fire protection and other emergency services for the area are in place prior to approval of any plans of subdivision. It is further noted that the provision of a new firehall in South Courtice is most appropriate to be addressed in the development charges currently under review. 529 PAGE 20 REPORT NO PD 47 95 8.9 Secondary School Site The Public School Board has stated that a secondary school will not be needed in this area for ten to fifteen years. The Official Plan currently designates a secondary school site in Neighbourhood 2A. In keeping with the .Official Plan designation, the proposed Amendment #5 to the Courtice South Neighbourhood Plan designates a site on the lands owned by 765400 Ontario Limited. On-going discussions have taken place between the Municipality, the consultant, the landowner and the School Board in this regard. The applicant proposed an alternate school site which was under review at the time of the last report in September 1994. In order to allow for this review to be completed, Staff had previously proposed a policy to allow the relocation of this school with only an amendment to the Neighbourhood Plan. Since that time, the School Board has completed their review of the alternate site and stated that it is not acceptable. Accordingly, the same site is retained and the special policy has been removed. Representatives of 765400 Ontario Limited wish to either retain the previous special policy or allow for a default residential designation if the school site is not acquired by the School Board. ~It is Staff's position that the public process should be followed to remove a school designation due to new residents expectations that a school will be built. 8.10 Elementary School~Park Campus Report PD-110-94 suggested that the South-West Courtice Plan provide for a large central neighbourhood park (approximately 9.7 acres) with public and separate elementary schools on either side. This configuration has now changed due to on-going discussions with the School Boards, the applicants and the Municipality. Four alternative configurations were prepared by the applicant and an acceptable configuration to all parties was selected. The approved configuration has the neighbourhood park placed beside the two - 530 schools with the two schools bordering each other. Amore detailed - ~.• configuration will be determined through the subdivision process. ' s Staff have indicated to the Developers Group that the approval of the neighbourhood park is dependant on four conditions: - relocation of proposed parkette; confirmation that all land is serviceable; .satisfactory arrangement between NLP and 289143 Ontario Limited to secure and develop park site concurrently with NLP lands; and, - separate dedication for overland flow route. The Developers Group has concurred with .these. conditions, in principle, but the details are to be settled through the review of the plans of subdivision. ' 8.11 Fill Requirements A concern was raised in Report PD-110-94 about the extent of fill required to bring the lands of Stolp and 2.89143 Ontario Limited into the. Phase 1 servicing -area. Studies were .prepared by G.M. Sernas to satisfy the Region of Durham and the Muncipality~s works Departments that.the soils. can be suitably engineered for their respective services... . While cut and fill operations are a normal part of most residential development.., this: fill scheme is more extensive than normal. It optimizes the amount of land that can be gravity fed by placing ;. large amounts of ,fill on future public lands including the school €~ sites and the neighbourhood park. d1 Both School Boards indicated that they would require engineered fill that will accept standard building footings without having to excavate to undisturbed soil. This issue has been resolved. 8.12 phasing and Prematurity Policies...,. - . In the meetings convened by the C.A.O., the South-West Courtice developers group .raised a number of concerns with the proposed • policies in Section 6.8.2.

They are: - , • preference for development in or adjacent to the Courtice Main Central Area; • preference for intensification and infilling; and, • .preference for development of previously designated urban lands (Neighbourhoods 1 to 3). NLP was specifically concerned that the word "preference" implied an arbitrariness that was not appropriate in a planning document.

" " ` ` "' 532 REPORT NO..: ~PD-'47-95 PAGE 23 8.14 Courtice North versus Courtice South West Mr. Bill Manson, representing Courtice Heights Develo~~ments, raised concerns that their lands in Neighbourhood 3C have priority status for development and any increase in population due_t:o their prior approval in the Courtice Urban Area. Courtice Heights currently have applications for an official plan amendment, a neighbourhood plan amendment, and two plans of subdivisions and relz:ted rezonings in Neighbourhood 3C. These lands are located north of Nash Road and east of Courtice Road. In part, they are seeking to increase the neighbourhood population from 1900 to 4500 pers~~ns. Council has referred the Courtice Heights proposal for consdE:ration in the -. context 'of the Official Plan Review. ~ It is Staffs :opinion that' the Official Plan Review is the best forum for resolving the competing interests represented by the .development interests in the ,-: northerly Courtice neighbourhoods versus the development interests in south-west Courtice. 9. CONCLIISION 9.1 Since publishing the proposed Amendment documents, Staff have made revisions to the text of the documents as a -result of comments received and further consideration by Staff. These: changes are indicated in the. amendment document. 9.2 By dealing with -the Official .Plan ;:..and the_ ;Neighbourhood .Plan:;.; Amendment applications, the policy framework will be: established for consideration of -the applicants plans ofsubdivision. As- noted in this report, there are many infrastructure improvements which are required to provide services to .this residential neighbourhood, including upgrading of regional. roads and local roads, fire services improvements.-,and parkland. .These matters would need to be reviewed in the context of the development charges ~, study. While the principle of the land ;use: designations can be .' determined, the proposed plans of ~ subdivis.on~~°'and relFited rezoning 5. applications are premature at .this:., time.

That Official Plan Amendment #`59 to amend the Official Plan of the former Town of Newcastle, as amended in accordance with the recommendations of Report WD-22-95, be approved, that the necessary by-law to adopt Official Plan Amendment x`59 be passed, and that the Amendment be forwarded to the Durham Region Planning Department for approval; 2. That the Regional Municipality of Durham be requested to amend the Durham Regional Official Plan by amending Map -B as follows: i) designate-Prestonvale Road between Highway 2 and Bloor Street as a Type ~'C" arterial road; ii) designated Townlne Road south of Bloor-Street as-a Type "B" arterial road; and, ~. 3 .

The other proponents may similarly xequest that the applications for plan of subdivision and rezoning be referred/appealed. Council should be aware that since Staff does not support the status of Prestonvale Road as a local road as shown in the attached amendments, and since this component is fundamental to support the proposed lands uses, Staff could not appear in defence of such a position at the Ontario Municipal Board. - 535 f~ ~T Respectfully submitted, • ~-^-~~ a Franklin Wu, M.

First and foremost. We do not support this development at all. Just because an idea is proposed, this dies not necessarily mean that we must accept the idea and generate feedback on it. If you would have given the public an option #S of 'no development' rather than making them familiar with the concepts #1, #2, #3 and #4 (re: workshop of February 17/93), you would probably generate more 'not at all' feedback. If the area mas a developed. 1) We will not accept medium or high density unit yield across from our property. Why should the atmosphere of the neigiiboiirhood change, traffic flow increase, crime rates increase and the value of our property drop while the Town of Newcastle (Courtice) generates all the profits. Why should we be inconvenienced (noise/contractors/destruction of farm land) to generate taxable income for Courtice. When we sit at our dining room table, we look across the road at a field, and it feels like we are in the country. We purchased this house a mere 9 months ago for this very reason. .../2 542 `r • . ~ - ., •' Vlllll /JW1Y IVLA! Ul VLYLLVI -2- 1 llll IIV. Y 1 V`lJV't`t I J r. u~ 2) Keep the bulk of development (medium and high yield) away from Oshawa re: Townline and Grandview since this is a Newcastle effort. Consider a Courtice Bike trail and larger envirotunental parkland/open space in the Grandview/Townline area. 3) We do not want Grandview Drive extended. This would generate too much (fast) traffic around our area. 4) Consider a bridge connecting To~rnline to handle the extra traffic flow which may be generated. 1. Will property taxes increase noticeably in Courtice due to this development? (re: two extra schools)? 2. Approximately how many residents are aware of this plan? From what geographical target areas? 3. What timeframe do you have in mind? 4. What projected profits/losses do you expect from this Venture? We hope that our feedback will assist you in making decisions based on sound judgement and fairness to Oshawa residents. Please keep us informed of your actions. Truly, ~~ Mr. and Mrs. Robert & Joscttc Ren b 873 Grandview Dr. S.

McNair 361 Southridge St., OSHAWA, Ontario L1 H 8A4 Dear Sir or Madame: We attended the open house you held on the evening of February 17 at Courtice High School. Both of us live on the Oshawa side of Townline Rod. S. Both of us realize that development of this area while not favoured by us, is going to happen sooner or later. You have asked for our opinion, so here it is. A - We could live with plan # 4 - We might be able to live with plan # 3 - We could think about living with plan # 2 (opperative word here is think) - We refuse the idea of even thinking about plan # 4 B - Please think about the type of commercial development down beside the railway tracks. If this development is going to consists of a high volume of traffic, how will this flow and where. C - Please keep in mind what type of affordable housing is to be built. No apartments please!.. .

South west corner Down Cres. and Townline Road South across from "Old Bloor Street". Comments We definitely are against option I as it calls for much higher population density. Options 2, 3, 4 are debateable. Reason i : increase of traffic, at present we cannot open our windows due to exhaust fumes from traffic plus noises which all would increase with development. Reason 2: High density and medium density means affordable and subsidized housing and I don't know what is the answer. But crime increases in such environments. Why not continue in the same vein as the Oshawa side of Townline Road South. This is no problem for us.

Oshawa, Ontario Property Location S W Comer of Bloor & Townline. Oshawa Comments I am totally opposed to any development of the Lands on the Courtice side;. until the corner of Bloor and Townline is aligned with the new extension of Bloor St. The area cannot handle the increased traffic. This will be made worse for two reasons 1: The dosing of the Old Bloor St. which will force traffic through an already dangerous intersection which has a dog leg 2: Any development will increase traffic into street not made to handle the volume. If an industrial area is allowed at this point that traffic and noise (large trucks) will distrub a resident area Apparently Durham Region and tunney Planning have two different opinions as to what is happening regarding street development and the traffic. As time allows me I intend to follow up on is with every level of Government until the area can handle more noise and traffic. Typed as Written ~- 550 " . ~... ~ RECEIVED MAR 2 - ~~ ..

(Planning file OpA 89-032) W.lthin the area indicated for the the Neighbourhood Plan lies what is some of Duxham~s as well as Clarington'a best agricultural land. The majority of the land south of Bloor Street and east of the Oshawa • t~~wnline is predominantly Darlington loam. This soil type is r~:presentative of the better agricultural soils which supports g~anera I farming . Iii general municipal planning processes do not appear to take into .a~:count long term need for-good agricultural land. We are sure that y~~u realize once such a resource is taken that it can not be r«placed. If a shift to higher density residential urban areas is not undertaken then the contribution to Clarington's economic fabric by the agri-food industry will continue to decline. At present the a~~ri-food industry with $192.9 M in products sold in Durham ranks second only to the Automotive industry. Urban Sprawl demands more in services provided by the municipality and educational systems. This creates greater den-ands'on tax revenues r~~ther than producing greater revenues: 'Che many spin-offs of the ar~xi-food industry are of greater economic benefit in relation to j~~bs and revenue created within the municipality. N~~t only is the subject land affected but pressures from urban areas encroaching into other neighbouring agricultural areas creates incompatible land uses. 'Chia makes it difficult for present owner #i~rmers to continue modern day farming practices without complaints o:r harassment from new residents who often idealize about country . p~~storal scenes. .../2 552 ,.^ /~A'YELLOWLEES 65B P02 .. - 2 - DRFA Cou rtice Neighbour hood Plan OpA 89-~32 Any new development needs to be properly buffezed from those areas which currently are in agricultural production so that both cAn function without disputes. Duxham Region Federation of Agriculture su re,sidehtial development along with more efficienthuseeofdazeasy pr~zsently developed for urban areas. Any new development should take in•~o consideration present agricultural use of lands and the wishes of those landowners who wish to continue on theiz farming ®perations without urban conflict.

No.l: Th@ traffic at present consists mostly of General Motors & Darlington Nuclear plant in the mornings & aftemoons~ we dare not open our windows due to exhaust fumes from vehides~ due mostly to acceleration from the corner of old Bloor St & Townline Rd.

No.2:- Twice since living here (1979) vehicles proceeding West have been through the STOP and crashed in our fence and more times have ended over the curb on the boulevard. Any increase in traffic from further development would increase NO I & NO 2. Our other concern is Oshawa's BLOOR ST does not line up with Clarington's Bioor St. making it a dangerous intersection as it is now and should be corrected. Thanking you.

TRAFFIC, NOISE, POLLUTION, INCONVENIEI~TCE AND LOSS OF ROAD FRONTAGE PROPERTY OR FORCED TO MOVE AWAY TO ALLOW DEVELOPERS TO DBVELOP GiLBAT LARGB PARCELS OF PROPERTY WITHOUT SUPPLYING ARTERIAL ROADS ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY? THIS EQUATES TO DEVELOPERS UTILIZING OIIR FRONTAGE FOR T'IIEIR FINANCIAL GAIN--- THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND YOUR PLASINlNG SHOULD BE MORE CONSIDERATE OF EXISTING RESIDENTS NEEDS. 558 n ON A PERSONAL.NOTU--- A NUMBER OF FANiII,IES MOVED AWAY BECAUSB THEY WERE NOT CONFIDENT THAT THB TOWN WOULD STICK TO THBTR PROMISE.

With respect to the above referenced applications. the following comments ale provided. 566 Yy:_. Courtice Heights Developments' has been developing land` : `~"~`'~ in Courtice for the past 20 years and is the owner of a 24 acre parcel located in Part Lot 28, Concession 3, former Township of Darlington, adjacent to the east side of:..Courtice--~.. Road,. and a 25 aare parcel located in Part Lot 27, Concession 3,~' former Township of Darlington, adjacent to the north~side~.~of Nash Road. 2. These two parcels were designated for Residential development in the 1976 Regional Official Plan and continue to be designated for such in the Cluing Area designation of the 1991 Regional Official Plan. 3. These two parcels were designated for Residential development in Amendment #12~to the. Official Plan for the Darlington _ Plapning 41rea (commonly referred to as the Courtice Urbam ~~: Area Plan) which was approved by the Ministry in June 1980 This Courtice Urban Area .Plan became part of a consolidated District Official Plan which was approved by the Minister in 1986. These two parcels continue to be designated for Residential development in~this current.local District. Official Plan. 4. With reference to these two parcels, Courtice Heights Developments made application in April 1992 to amend the District Official regarding Courtice North Neighbourhood 3C', particularly as it relates to lands north of Nash Road between Courtice Road. and Hancock Road. The OPA applicatiorr~ basically related to population levels,road alignments, and internal designation boundary adjustments. At the same time Courtice Heights Developments made application to establish a Neighbourhood Plan for.that portion of Courtice North. Neighbourhood 3C north of .Nash Road (ie. 3C IF) 5. Notwithstanding the long history of Residential designation for these two parcels in the $egional and local District Official Plans, the Nlay 1994 Drift District Official Plan released by the Clarington Department of Planning and Development is proposing to place the northern half of Courtice North Neighbourhood 3C II (also known as the ~:.. Hancock Neighbourhood) beyond the Interim Urban Boundary or 20-year planning horizon of the District Plan. This proposal is completely unacceptable to Courtice Heights Developments as was indicated~in our July 8,1994 written- submission om~the Draft Official Plan to Council because of its effects on the 24 acre parcel and a portion-•of the 2S acre parcel. 567 At the September '19,1994 Public Meeting on the Stolp - ~ '~=:~'.~~ Homes and Three D Developments OPA and NPA applications. I indicated that Courtice Heights Developments was concerned with an advance approval of these amendments to the current~~ existing local District Official Plan when an overall review of the existing District Official Plan was in progress. I indicated that these amendment applications should only be considered in the context of a completed District Official Plan Review since only in that context could the full ' implications of the various issues be assessed. Since~~.- Courtiae $eights Developments' OPA and NPA applications were folded into the District Official Plan Review process;= it would be appropriate to do so with the 3tolp/Three D OPA and NPA applications.. :~ i 7. It is of conaern~to Courtice Heights Developments that planing staff would suggest in the Clarington Draft District Official Plan the exclusion of about 100 acres of land in the Hancock or 3C I~ Neighbourhood which has been designated Residential for 15 years in the existing District Official •Plan and yet would suggest in the Stolp Homes and Three~D Developments OPA applications the addition of 85 acres (34.4 Hectares) of land to Neighbourhood 2A and 27? acres (112.4 Hectares) of land in Neighbourhood 4 (ie. a total of 362 acres or 146.8 Hectares to both neighbourhoods) to the existing District Official Plan when such additional land has only been recently designated Living Area in the 1991 Regional Official Plan: 8.. It is noted that in OPA #59 municipal planning staff are proposing to increase the entire population of Courtice from 20000 persons-~to 31000 persons in the existing District Official Plan. Such a population increase has long been warranted .because approved neighbourhood population targets shown for the Courtice Urban Area in Schedule 6-1 of the existing District Official Plan total 21600 persons. If the population targets shown in existing C ouncil-approved Neighbourhood Development Plans are used, the total population for the Courtice Urban Area would be 26300 persons (see Table A.2 in Background Paper 3- Land Use and Settlement Patterns). If the population target for existing Neighbourhood 3C is increased from 1900 persons to 4500 persons as suggested in my July 8,1994 letter on the Draft Official~~Plan; then the total population for existing Neighbourhoods would total 28900 persons (ie. 26300 + 2600). This would leave an uncommitted population of 2100 persons (ie. 31400 - 2£1900) to be assigned to lands beyond the-urban limits of the existing District Official Plan. 568 9• The strategy proposed by .municipal planning staff in ~` ~?t°:-- OPA #59 of approving a population target of 31000 persons and automatically committing 10400 persons of that total to modified Neighbourhood 2A~and new Neighbourhood 4,is inappropriate because it~:neglects the priority nature of those neighbourhoods designated in the 1976 Regional Official Plan and 1980 Courtice Urban Area Plan (ie. Neighbourhoods 1A,1~',2B,2C.3A,3B,and !~C) and leaves them s residual population of 20600 persons (ie. 31000 - 10400) to allocate among themselves. The Neighbourhood Plans for these 7 neighbourhoods require a population of 25300 persons. (ie. 4475+2800+3640+z585+23oo+5oao+u500 persons for lA,1B, 2B.2C,3A,3B',and 3C respectively) to develop properly. 10. Courtice Heights Developments is concerned with some of the proposed changes to the policies of the existing District Official Plan. These concerns are as follows. Section 6.1.2t(,iv~)a -The Low Density Residential policy -, proposes a maximum density of 25 units per net residential hectare. The maximum should be 30 units per net residential hectare to more easily permit the development of street townhouses. Section 6.1.2.(iv)b -Based on the foregoing comments, - the range for the Medium:~,Density Residential should be adjusted from 25-60 units per net residential hectare to 30-60 units per net ~'' residential hectaf~e. - The maximum number of street. t®wnhouses per block should be increased from 6 units to 8 units. Section 6.1.3.(i)a - The wording should be modified to read "local roads shall be designed having regard where practical for the grid street system principle". - The statement discouraging cul-de- sacs should be omitted. Section 6.8.2.(iii)c - This section deals with the phasing of residential development:.and indicates that it"shall be based on" a series of principles. The wording should be modified to read "shall give consideration to". ~ 569 f'. ~:-~ 9 FII~'~Y::, ~. 10. (cont'd) Section 6 .8.2.(iv)d -This section could cause a plan • of subdivision to be declared premature if the non-residential ` assessment ratio is less than 15$. While a minimum non-residential assessment ratio is an admirable goal, it should not be used as a criterion for residential subdivision approval since market forces for residential land are not necessarily linked to market forces for industrial land. Section 6.8.2.(v) - The proposed wording "prior to the • consideration for approval of a plan of subdivision, the Municipality requires the preparation of a master • drainage plan ...." should be modified to read "during consideration of a plan of subdivision, the Municipality may require ....". Section 6.8.2.(vii) - The proposed wording concerning "storm water management ponds" should include the word "public" before the phrase. Section 6.8.2.(vii)d -The proposed wording "public safety through design without any requirement .for fencing" should be modified to read "public safety through design and where possible avoid any require- . ment for fencing. Courtice Heights Developments has attempted to outline some of its concerns with the proposed amendment applications and hopes that the Municipality of Clarington will fold these applications into its review of the District Official Plan. You truly, William D. Manson°~ 570 r I would like this letter acknowledged at the meeting between Stolp Homes and the council. Mayor Diane Hamre, Members of Council, Frank Wu, Bill Stockwell and Bill Crosbie: Approximately ten years ago the residents of Prestonvale Road went to the OMB with concerns about the proposed subdivisions to the east and west. It was passed at that time that Prestonvale Road would remain a local road. The proposed subdivision would have collector roads. The new offiaal plan was to change Prestonvale to a type 'C' arterial road, and went again before council and it was approved that our road would remain local. Thy, subdivision that Stolp Homes has planned for the south end would further burden our road, because Robert Adams Drive which is the north, south collector road, has not been completed. The only shopping faalities in the area are at Townline and IGng. Traffic from this new subdivision would have to use our already busy road. Before this subdivision of 8,000 homes is approved, Robert Adams Drive should be opened up to meet Bloor Street, and the Towniine should be bridged to create a direct route. The school that is to be built for this subdivision should not be on Prestonvale Road as it would create slot more traffic. A good location for this school would be on Robert Adams Drive between Glenabby and Bloor Street. It would be a central location on a road that is designed to cant' a higher volume of traffic. Mr. & Mrs. Robert Cowle.

MARCH 27, 1995 FROM HUGH AND CAROL ANN NEII,L RE:- - REPORT FROM "TOTTEN SIMS HUBICKI ASSOCIATES" ON PAGE # 6 OF THIS REPORT, THEY RECOMIv1ENDED MOVING THE INTERSECTION OF BLOOR AND PRESTONVALE ROAD TO THE WEST APPROXIMATELY 50 TO 100 METERS. I AGREE WITH THIS CONCERN AS I HAVE WITNESSED A TRAFFIC RELATED FATALITY AT THAT INTERSECTION. WE BELIEVE THAT IF THE ]NTERSECTION WAS MOVED 75 METERS TO THE WEST IT COULD RESOLVE SOME OTHER CONCERNS AS WELL. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS REPORT MADE NO MENTION OF THE "NEW EAST WEST ARTERIAL ROAD THAT MR. WU PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED LAST MAY AT THE EMII,Y STOWE PUBLIC SCHOOL IN COURTICE. MR WU SAID THAT THIS ROAD WAS PUT IN PLACE TO' ALLEVIATE THE TRAFF"IG CONCERNS RAISED BY THE RESIDENTS ON GLENABBY DRIVE. IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT THIS NEW ARTERIAL STREET SHOULD COTtTINUE WESTERLY ACROSS PRESTONVALE AND TI-~N CURVE SOUTH TO THE NEW INTERSECTION AT BLOOR WHICH WOULD BE APPROXIlVIATELY 75 METERS WEST OF PRESTONVALE RD. THIS REALIGNMENT WOULD PROVIDE ARTERIAL ACCESS TO ALL OF COURTICE, IN A SHARED AND EVEN MANNER, WITHOUT BEING PLACED ON ANY EXISTING LOCAL ROADS. PLEASE SEE ATTACHIVIEIVT #1 INCLUDED. AS AN ALTERNATE THIS NEW STREET COULD BE DIItECTED STRAIGHT ACROSS PRESTOVALE TO ROBERT ADAM DR FOR CONNECTION TO BLOOR. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS RECObRVIEENDATION SHOULD BE LOOKED AT VERY SERIOUSLY. ON PAGE # 7, A RECONRvIENDATTON SUGGESTS DISCOURAGING EAST/WEST. TRAVEL IN THE NEW S/W NEIGHBORHOOD TO PREVENT TRAFFIC TO GRANDVIEW STREET. THE REPORT SHOULD ALSO DISCOURAGE TRAVEL EAST TO PRESTOVALE RD. ON PAGE # 7, THE REPORT DID NOT RECOI~~IIVIEND THE CLOSURE OF PRESTONVALE BECAUSE OF THE COST TO PURCHASE HOMES IN THE CLOSURE AREA THE REMOVAL OF THESE.HOMES WOULD ALLOW FOR A GRADUAL TURN ONTO PRESTONVALE, BUT THE TOWN'S PLAN DO ALLOW FORA 90 DEGREE TURN ONTO PRESTONVALE ROAD FROM A SUGGESTED `NEW' ARTERIAL ROAD WHICH TENDS TO INDICATE THAT IT COULD BE DONE AND THESE HOMES WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED.. a 5'7 ~ ALSQ ON PAGE # 7, THE REPORT READS THAT ROBERT ADAM AND SANDRINGHAM V~JERE NOT DESIGNED OR PLANNED TO CARRY ALL THE NORTH /SOUTH TRAFFIC. TT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IT WAS PLANNED TO CARRY THIS INCREASED TRAFFIC FLOW AND PRESTOVALE WAS PLANNED TO BE LEFT ALONE AS A~RESIDENTIAL LOCAL ROAD AS SHOWN ON TODAYS OFFICIAL PLAN. ON PAGE # 8, THE REPORT READS THAT THE TOWN LINE BRIDGE IlvIl'ROV'EMENTS WOULD RESULT IN "MINOR" REDUCTIONS IN EXISTING'I'RAFFIC VOLUMES. WE DISAGREE WITH THIS CObI1V1ENT AS.THE ONLY WAY A RESIDENT IN THIS AREA HAS TO GET TO THE MALL AT TOWNLINE AND HWY # 2 IS VIA GRANDVIEW OR PRESTONVALE RD. IN ADDITION THE NEW COLONEL SAM DRIVE / HWY 401 INTERCHANGE SHOULD PROBABLY CONNECT TO THE TOWNLINE RD. IF THE TOWN FOLLOWS THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE REPORT AND REDESIGNATES PRESTONVALE ROAD FROM A LOCAL ROAD, TT CAN ONLY BE CONCLUDED THAT OUR PROPERTY SIZE AND VALUE WILL BE GREATLY REDUCED AND OUR RESIDF;NTIAL LIFE STYLE QUALITY DIlVITNISHED. IF A SECONDARY SCHOOL IS PLACED DIItECTLY ACROSS THE ROAD FROM OUR HOUSE OUR PROPERTY VALUE WILL DECREASE AND LIFE STYLE DIlVIIlVISH. IF HIGH DENSITY IS ALLOWED• WITHIN 300 METERS OF OUR HOME AND A MALL WITHIN 200 METERS OF OUR HOME, AGAIN OUR PROPERTY VALUE WILL DECREASE AND LIFE STYLE DIlV~NISH. SINCE ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE CURRIENTLY ON THE TOWN OF CLARINGTON'S PROPOSED OFFICIAL PLAN AND ARE ALL REQUIRED TO ALLOW DEVELOPERS TO PROCEED AND MAID FINANCIAL GAINS, IT HARDLY SEEMS REASONABLE OR FAIR THAT WE SHOULD BE INCOrPJENIENCED, LET ALONE BE INCONVENIENCED AT A FINANCIAL LOSS. IT IS OUR PLAN TO FIGHT THIS CHANGE AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT PRIOR TO BEING FORCED TO SELL AND MOVE AWAY FROM TT. ~'~ THE TOWN'S PLANNING DEPARTMENT MADE A PRESENTATION TO COUNCIL ON MONDAY THE 20TH OF MARCH THAT REPORTB~ THE HIGH COST OF EXPANDING DEVELOPMENT 1N THIS AREA, WHAT THEY LEFT OUT OF THIS PRESENTATION WAS THE HIGH COST OF COMPENSATION TO THE BXISTING RESIDENTS OF PRESTOVALE ROAD.

It was agreed that our traffic impact assessment would be undertaken in two phases with the first phase dealing with the residential component in south-west Courtice (The South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Plan) and the second phase dealing with the land designated for industrial use. The Study Area for the overall assessment is bounded by Highway 2, Townline Road, Courtice Road and Highway 401. This letter report summazizes the results of our Phase 1 review. Our assessment has revealed that the • residential development associated with Phase 1 (The South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Plan) cannot be accommodated from a traffic perspective without improvements to the local and Regional roadway networks • in both Clazington and Oshawa. In addition, it appears that higher order transportation improvements aze required on the Provincial Highway network to accommodate significant levels of development in the Courtice azea, including the development considered within the conte~tt of the review summazized in this letter report. Only a small component of the proposed residential development could be accommodated on the existing transportation network. The development of those lands included within Phase 1 of the South-West Courtice development will also result in increased traffic volumes on Robert Adams Drive, Prestonvale Road and Glenabbey Drive; although the existing and anticipating volumes on these roadways aze considered to be within the. levels deemed acceptable for collector and Honor arterial roadways. 1.0 DEVELOPMENT DESCRIPTION 1~ Phase 1 of the South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Plan includes 2,515 dwelling units. For the purposes of our impact assessment, the development types were disaggregated as shown in Table No. 1 below. ENGINEERS ARCHITECTS AND PLANNERS T~ -2- During the course of our assessment it became clear that servicing constraints within the South-West Courtice area may preclude the development of all 2,515 units within the 10 year planning horizon considered within the context of this Study; as a consequence, and following consultation with staff of the Municipality, it was agreed that a development level of 1,675 units would also be assessed. This • would likely represent "acht~vable" development levels for approximately the next 10 years. For the purposes of this documentation, the 1,675 unit phasing is referred to as Phase IA. The latest development plan for the South-West Courtice area is provided as Exhibit 1. .. ~ •::~•%1`~fYA/!1*7f:~•:7~TR~f).AT'•:/7i~.•~"hT17Y1T 1 1.

It is these designations that are shown on Exhibit 2. It should be noted the existing Official Plan and Neighbourhood Plan previously prepared by the Municipality of Clarington, refer to Prestonvale Road between King Street and Robert Adams Drive as a collector roadway and between Robert Adams Drive and Glenabbey Drive, Prestonvale Road is identified as a local roadway. Between King Street and Glenabbey Drive, Prestonvale Road is currently constructed to collector standards (i.e. a 10 m pavement width). It is also noteworthy that a Type C Artefal is essentially a major collector roadway. The difference between a local and a collector roadway is the acceptable level of traffic that can be accommodated; there is often no difference in the physical capacities of both types of roadways. The municipality has not established, or .adopted, "threshold" volumes for local or collector facilities although it is generally accepted in the transportation/planning industry that local roadways should carry. in the order of 1;000-1,500 vehicles per day (vpd). In late 1994, the Council of the Municipality of Clarington passed a motion which essentially formalized their desire to recognize and maintain Prestonvale Road between King Street and Bioor Street as a local roadway. The Phase 1 assessment as summarized in this letter report included a review of the implications associated with maintaining Prestonvale Road as a local facility and considered strategies that could be implemented to reduce the volumes on this roadway to local street levels (i.e. less than 1,000 vpd). Consistent with the South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Plan, we,have assumed that, east of Townline Road, Bloor Street would be re-aligned to connect directly to Bloor Street at approximately Prestonvale , • ~ Road as shown on Exhibit 1. It was also assumed that Prestonvale Road between Glenabbey Drive and Bloor Street would be widened and reconstructed as part of development activities in the area, consistent with the upgrading that occurred in 1994 between Claret Road and Glenabbey Drive. •" 5 8 1 Cotten Sims hubicki associates 1 i, i i 1 a a v LEGEND Provincial Freeway ~.~ Type A Arterial .~~~ Type B Arterial .....

In addition, timing has not been established for either the implementation of the ultimate Harmony RoadBloor Street interchange with Highway 401 or the new Colonel Sam Drive/Highway 401 interchange to the east of Harmony Road. Previous studies, including the Harmony Road Operational Review undertaken by TSH in 1991, revealed the need for these improvements within a 10 yeaz horizon in order to accommodate additional development in the azea of the General Motors Headquarters. A widening of Bloor Street would also involve the simultaneous construction of a grade sepazation of the CPR tracks west of Grandview Drive. Although a Regional initiative, this project will be funded by GO Transit as part of GO Rail's extension to East Oshawa. GO Rail has yet to establish a date for this extension. 3.0 TRAFFIC GENERATION Table No. 2 below summarizes traffic generation associated with development levels for both Phases 1 and lA of the South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Plan. Trip generation rates were based on estimates contained in the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 5th Edition, and indices collected "by TSH for similaz studies. In reviewing the trip generation rates as shown in Table No. 2, it is fundamental to note that there is currently very little transit service to the South-West CourtIce Neighbourhood. We have assumed that, in the.10 yeaz planning horizon, there will not be a significant improvement in the level of transit service available to this azea. Even with the extension of GO service to the azea, it is estimated that there will be a limited reduction~in auto traffic generation. We have reviewed/confirmed this~assumption with staff of•the City of Oshawa and the Municipality of Clazington. For Phase lA, we have also assumed that 59'0 of the traffic generation would be internal to the development itself.

The _ background traffic has also been adjusted to reflect a total of 225 additional dwelling units (low density) proposed adjacent to the north of the Study Area. 4.0 TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT Traffic associated with the new development was distributed based upon 1991 TTS data (Transportation Tomorrow Survey). For the purposes of our analysis we have assumed that background traffic will grow at a rate of 2.796 per annum. This figure was arrived at following an assessment of historic traffic volumes in the area. The rate was also confirmed with Region of Durham staff. This figure could be considered conservative if the GO extension to Oshawa occurs within the next ten years. The GO Station will attract traffic from the east in Courtice and Bowmanville which may find Bloor Street an attractive route to the station which is to be located on Bloor Street just east of the Holiday Inn and west of Grandview Drive. Exhibit No. 3 attached provides a summary of the existing background traffic volumes as assembled by TSH. ]6chibit No. 4, shows the assignment of development related traffic to the roadway network. Exhibit No. 5 shows future (year 2005) total traffic volumes on roadway links and at intersections within the Study Area and on roadways to the west in the City of Oshawa. Exhibits 3, 4 and 5 reflect Phase lA of the proposed development i.e. 1,675 dwelling units. Traffic assignments have not been provided for Phase 1. In producing a traffic assignment, it was assumed that 2096 of the site-generated traffic to/from the west on Highway 401 would use the Courtice Road interchange rather than the existing Harmony Road interchange. 5.0 IMPACT ASSESSMENT Capacity analyses for the key intersections within the Study Area were conducted using the Highway Capacity Manual software associated with Transportation Research Board Special Report 209. Table No. 3 attached provides a summary of the results of the capacity analysis conducted for development levels considered within Phase 1 and Phase lA of the South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Plan. :.,:..,...:;.~.. `:::..:........ ~-lCiD1ICYPAi17'Y~OF~LARINGTON : :..:n3;;•: {:.:i'+::.i`>i:•>oS:L::> L:b>...n..:.

At that time, Council exempted Stolp Homes (Newcastle) Developers Inc. from the administrative freeze on the processing of applications in the expansion areas during the period of the Official Plan Review. In order to consider the Stolp application for a plan of subdivision, the Official Plan required the preparation and adoption of a neighbourhood development plan. The neighbourhood development planning area applied to an area larger than the Stolp Homes application. Several landowners, specifically Newcastle I Limited Partnership and Newcastle II Limited Partnership (which assumed the lands and the application by Stolp Homes (Newcastle) Developers), 289143 Ontario Limited and 765400 Ontario Ltd. hired Tunney Planning Inc. to prepare a neighbourhood development plan for this area. A Public Meeting on the Neighbourhood Plan and proposed Amendment #59 was held ,on September 19, 1994. Council referred the matter back to staff for further review. Also in consideration of proposed Amendment #59 at a meeting on September 26,1994, Council resolved that Prestonvale Road should remain designated as a local road south of the intersection with Robert Adams Drive. On March 27, 1995, two applications to amend the Official Plan were submitted by 289143 Ontario Ltd. and 765400 Ontario Ltd. This Amendment to the Official Plan is based on the South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Study prepared by Tunney Planning Inc, the subsequent review by the general public and agencies of the consultant's recommended plan, and certain work undertaken as part of the Municipality's Official Plan Review, and Council's resolution of September 26, -1994 with respect to Prestonvale Road. ACTUAL AMENDMENT: The Official Plan for the former Town of Newcastle is hereby amended as follows: i) In Section 6.1.2 (i)(a), delete the last sentence beginning with the wards "Schedule 6-3 indicates the sequence for the preparation...."; 2 595 ii) In Section 6.1.2 (i)(c), replacing the number "20,000" with "31,000". iii) In Section 6.3.2 (ii)(a), replacing the words "Black, Farewell and Harmony Creek Systems" with the words "Black, Farewell, Harmony and Robinson Creek Systems". iv) In Section 6.7.2 (v), (b) replacing the words "Type A and B arterial roads" with the words "Type A, B and C arterial roads". v) In Subsection 6.8.2 (iii)(c), replacing it with the following: "c) The phasing of residential development in the Courtice Urban Area shall be based on the following principles: - the sequential development of lands and the prohibition of leap frogging; - the priority for development in or adjacent to the Community Central Area shown in this Plan; - the economic use and extension of all services; - the priority for intensification and infilling development; and - increased density for new neighbourhoods having regard for the integration with existing residential areas. In the review of an application for draft plan of subdivision, the Municipality shall have regard for these policies and where necessary impose appropriate conditions of draft approval to implement the policies of this section." vi) Delete the existing Section 6.8.2 (iv) and replace it as follows; "iv) Council may declare a residential plan of subdivision premature if any of the following conditions apply: a) the plan of subdivision does not meet the phasing principles of Section 6.8.2.(iii)(c); t 3 ~; 596 b) the municipal wide non-residential assessment ratio is less than 15 percent; c) the capital works and services required to service the lands and the future residents are not within the 10 year capital works forecast as identified in the development charges study, as updated from time to time; and d) the Municipality does not have the administrative or financial capabilities to provide and maintain all services required by the future residents generated from the subdivision development." vii) Add a new policy 6.8.2 (v) as follows: "v) Notwithstanding Section 6.8.2 (iv)(c), the Municipality may consider the provision of capital works and services by the proponents of development where such works are not in the 10 year capital works forecast provided that: - it does not affect the development charge quantum; and - it is permissable under the Development Charges Act." viii) Renumber the existing Section 6.8.2 (v) as appropriate. ix) Add a new Section 10.3 as follows: "10.3 SOUTH-WEST COURTICE NEIGHBOURHOOD SECONDARY PLAN 10.3.1 INTRODUCTION The South-West Courtice Neighbourhood Secondary Planning Area comprises approximately 124 hectares of land located south of the future realigned Bloor Street, west of Prestonvale Road and east of the Townline Road. It is identified as Neighbourhood 4 in the Official Plan. 4 - 597 n The purpose of this Secondary Plan is to detail the land uses and policies governing the urbanization of the lands within the South-West Courtice Neighboufiood. This Plan will guide Council in assessing various proposals for developments and in the exercise of powers of subdivision approval, zoning and site plan control. 10.3.2 GENERAL POLICIES The development of the South-West Courtice Neighboufiood is governed by the policies of the Municipality's Official Plan and the Dufiam Regional Official Plan. The development controls set out in these documents should be read in conjunction with the policies outlined in this Secondary Plan. The planned population of this neighbourhood is approximately 5,900 persons at an overall density 14.8 units per gross hectare. 10.3.3 RESIDENTIAL AREAS 10.3.3.1 It is the objective of this Plan to provide for the range and mix of housing types. In this regard, 70% of new housing will. be low density units, 20% will be medium density units and 10% will be high density units. 10.3.3.2 Development within Residential Areas shall be by means of plans of subdivision prepared in conformity with this Plan and in particular urban design policies of Section 10.3.10. 10.3.3.3 The density ranges provided herein shall be used to guide development within the lands designated on Schedule "10-2". For the purpose of this Plan, net residential density Is based on residential lands 'excluding public roads, schools, parks, open space areas and other similar public land areas. i) Low Density Residential Low density Residential Areas will consist of housing forms similar in kind to detached, semi-detached, linked, duplex, garden suites, and limited street townhouse forms. All low density areas will develop to a maximum of 25 units per net hectare. Limited street townhouse dwelling units will be permitted within the low density residential areas and shall be generally located at the periphery of residential neighbourhoods within close proximity to collector or arterial roads. t 5 59~ ii) Medium Density Residential Medium Density Residential Areas will include housing forms similar in kind to street townhouses, block townhouses, maisonettes, triplex, and low rise apartments. Medium density areas will develop at a range of 25 to 60 units per net hectare. iii) Hi4h Density Residential High Density Residential Areas will permit the development of low and mid-rise apartment housing forms, at a range of 60 to 100 units per net hectare. Building heights shall not exceed six storeys. 10.3.3.4 Affordable Housing At least 30°~ of all dwellings proposed within this neighbourhood shall conform to the affordable housing requirements in accordance with Provincial policy. The mix of medium and high density areas is intended to provide sufficient flexibility to ensure the opportunity for affordable housing, including the provision of rent-geared to-income housing. 10.3.3.5 Heritage House A heritage house has been identified and is indicated on Schedule "10-2". It is the intent of Council to ensure the conservation of this structure and the appropriate integration of adjacent residences. Council may require the preparation of elevations, axonometric drawings or other similar techniques to review the context, scale and design of proposed land uses adjacent to this site. 10.3.4 SCHOOLS 10.3.4.1 The student yield estimates have resulted in the identification of a need for one Public and Separate elementary school within this Neighboufiood. In addition, one Public elementary school site located in Neighboufiood 2A shall serve residents of this Neighbourhood. 10.3.4.2 Elementary schools will be sited, and designed to provide a visual focus for neighboufiood activity. School Boards are encouraged to construct schools two storeys or greater in height to provide amass and 6 599 L architectural prominence reflective of this role. Elementary school sites shall be designed to meet the requirements of the respective school boards and the following: • a ~ site size of generally 2.4 ha; and • a minimum frontage comprising at least 25% of the site perimeter. 10.3.4.3 A Public secondary school site has been identified in Neighbourhood 2A to serve the south west portion of the Courtice Urban Area including this Neighbourhood. 10.3.5 PARKS 10.3.5.1 Parks shall be developed in accordance with the policies of the Official Plan. The acquisition of these lands will be made as a dedication under the Plannin4 Act ahd the provisions of th® Official Plan. 10.3.5.2 Community Park A Community Park to serve this and other Courtice N®ighbourhoods has been designated in the southerly portion of Courtice in the vicinity of Bloor Street and Prestonvale Road. 10.3.5.3 Neighbourhood Park One Neighbourhood Park of 3.8 ha is required and shall be located in proximity to the elementary schools. The approximate location of a central neighbourhood park is shown on Schedule "10-2". Amore precise location will be determined at the subdivision stage. 10.3.5.4 Parkettes Three parkettes are to be located in this neighbourhood as shown on Schedule "10-2". The purpose of these parkettes is to provide park space where walking distances to the Neighbourhood Park exceed 400 m. One parkette is to be located within the Planning Precinct as described in Section 10.3.9 of this Plan. - 7 599 O1 10.3.6 GREEN SPACE 10.3.6.1 The Green Space designation recognizes lands in and adjacent to the westemsnb-tributary of Robinson Creek and includes adjacent woodlands and the central stormwater management facility. The Green Space system is fundamental not only as a means of protecting a natural feature within the Neighbourhood, but also in providing a connecting link to various community facilities. It has a width conforming to the greater of the requirements of the Ministry of Natural Resources for a warm water stream (minimum 15.0 metres beyond the streambank), the requirements of the Conservation Authority for regulatory floodplain or the topographic break in slope. 10.3.6.2 As a condition of development, development proponents shall enhance the natural state of the Robinson Creek by revegetating adjacent lands. Revegetation would include planting of trees and shrubs in consideration of enhancing fisheries and wildlife habitat potential. 10.3.6.3 The alteration to the natural state of watercourses and creeks is discouraged. However, any proposal to alter a section of a watercourse must maintain or improve its ecological state, and incorporate natural channel design features to the satisfaction of the Conservation Authority, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Municipality of Clarington. In addition, a greater width for the Green Space land may be required to accommodate natural channel design features, stable slopes,, vegetation and buffer areas. 10.3.6.4 Young .woodlands occupy portions of the Robinson Creek tributary floodplain and adjacent lands. This unit is comprised of vigourous young hardwoods and softwoods of high scenic quality, and in good biological health with a relatively high adaptability to disturbances. This stand of young woodlands is protected within the Green Space designation associated with the Robinson Creek tributary. 10.3.6.5 Consideration should be extended, wherever possible, towards preserving mature trees and woodlands which are outside of the Green Space designation in order to fully derive benefits relating to microclimate, wildlife habitats, hydrology and scenic quality. In this regard, mitigation measures such as tree protection fencing, silt fence/sedimentation control, dust control, and protection of soil moisture regime shall be utilized during construction. 8 599 ~2 t 10.3.7 COMMERCIAL 10.3.7.1 Commercial facilities shall be developed in conformity with the provisions of the Official Plan and this Secondary Plan. 10.3.7.2 Convenience Commercial A Convenience Commercial block (0.2 ha) is located along the south side of the future intersection Bloor Street and Robert Adams Drive and is part of the designated Planning Precinct. A maximum of 500 square metres of retail and personal service floorspace is permitted. Development of this block is subject to the provisions outlined in Section 10.3.9 of this Plan. 10.3.7.3 Corner Stores Individual corner stores with a maximum of 100 square metres of gross leasable floor area may be permitted in any Low Density Residential Area to provide items of daily necessity . or services for the immediate surrounding residents. Comer store sites shall be recognized in the zoning by-law. 10.3.8 CHURCH A church block of approximately 0.9 ha is reserved within the Planning Precinct designated in this Neighbourhood. Should a church facility not be warranted, development of these lands shall be for Medium Density residential uses. , 10.3.9 PLANNING PRECINCT 10.3.9.1 A Planning Precinct has been established to Great®a mix of land uses and a focal point of activity for the community. Uses within this area are schematically indicated on Schedule "10-2". The configuration of these uses may be altered from that shown without requiring an amendment to this Plan provided that the intent of this Plan is achieved. Prime consideration shall be placed on urban design, including the spacial distribution of structures and architectural treatment. L 9 599 ~3 10.3.9.2 An Urban Design Plan shall be approved by Council prior to the implementation of zoning by-laws and site plans. This requirement is necessary in order to provide a visual interpretation of proposed land uses, massing of buildings, configuration of roads and walkways, future transit stops, parkland uses, and any other matters identified by the Municipality. Zoning by-laws shall implement the key elements of the Urban Design Plan including provisions such as building height, lot coverage, floorspace, density, setbacks and build-to requirements. 10.3.10 URBAN DESIGN POLICIES In the review of development applications, the following urban design criteria shall be implemented: a) the street system shall be designed to address pedestrian, cycling, transit and auto-related requirements having regard for the policies i of Section 10.3.11; b) street alignments and lotting should maximize passive solar gain; c) buildings should address the arterial road frontage either directly or on single-loaded (service) roads; reverse lotting generally is r prohibited; d) housing designs will encourage social interaction along public streets through such means as the provision of front porches and ground-level windows, and reduced front yard setbacks; e) garages shall be located in such a manner that they are not intrusive in the streetscape. f) noise from arterial roads shall be mitigated by appropriate subdivision design; acoustical fences will be permitted only to supplement other noise attenuation measures; g) good visual access shall be provided to public spaces to promote a safe social environment h) adequate parking shall be provided for smaller frontage lots; and i) street trees, landscaping and streetscape amenities shall be provided in recognition of levels for local, collector and arterial roads. 10 599 :l4 L 10.3.11 TRANSPORTATION 10.3.11.1 The road network shall be based on a grid system of roads to support the desirable urban form, to facilitate the movement of people and goods, and the development of an effective system of public transit. Arterial Roads shall be designed in accordance with criteria contained within the Durham Regional Official Plan. Collector and Local Roads shall be designed in accordance with the criteria contained with the Municipality's Official Plan. 10.3.11.2 Road Classifications The road network identified on Schedule "10-2" incorporates strategic collector. road connections to the boundary arterial grid system and is based upon road design standards and classifications related to function, traffic volume 'and vehicular operating speed. Council may require the design and installation of traffic calming measures along collector roads at the time of subdivision approval. The potential for local street connections to arterial roads is identified on Schedule "10-2" as a means of providing access to residents within the immediate area. Local streets in the vicinity of these connections will be designed to discourage through traffic or a collector road function. Municipal Council, in the review of independent development applications will determine the need for local streets to exit onto boundary arterials. Local streets shall be designed on the basis of a grid street and modified to accommodate physical constraints. The use of cul-de-sacs is discouraged. 10.3.11.3 Bloor Street Realignment It is the intention of this Plan that the existing- alignment of Bloor Street between Townline Road and Prestonvale Road be redesignated from a Regional road to a local road. For some portions it will be necessary to abandon the existing right-of-way. The existing Bloor Street shall be rebuilt to urban standards and will have the option of local road access to Townline Road. New lots fronting onto the existing Bloor Street shall not be given final approval until such time as: l 11 5.99 05 (i) the new alignment for Bloor Street is constructed; and 10.3.11.4 10.3.11.5 10.3.11.6 (ii) funding is secured and committed for the reconstruction of the existing Bloor Street to urban standards. Intersection Improvements The need for intersection improvements have been identified for the following intersections: (i) Bloor Street/Townline Road; and (ii) Bloor Street/Prestonvale Road Prior to approval of any development application adjacent to these intersections, preliminary engineering studies shall be completed to define the right-of--way requirements and alignment having consideration for impacts on alt adjacent lands. Transit System Land uses and the road system shall be developed to support future local transit service which is intended to travel on the boundary arterial roads. A minimum of 90% of all households shall be within 400 metres of a future transit stop. This shall be achieved by: (i) locating higher density development in close proximity to future transit routes; and (ii) providing convenient pedestrian access to future transit stops. Pedestrian and Bicycle Routes The needs of pedestrians and cyclists shall be given high priority in the design of plans of subdivision. The major pedestrian and bicycle routes are identified on Schedule "10-2". The system will follow the Green Space designation and streets linking parks and community facilities. All streets will be designed to accommodate pedestrian needs, generally incorporating sidewalks on both sides of the street. Block sizes will be limited so that mid-block walkways are not required. 12 599 ~6 Appropriate studies will be required as a condition of approval for a draft plan of subdivision to detail the pedestrian and cycling system requirements. 10.3.12 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT 10.3.12.1 Stormwater management techniques must be incorporated to mitigate the impacts of development on water quality and quantity, consistent with the Robinson Creek Master Drainage Study. 10.3.12.2 The stormwater management facility will be sized and designed according to Best Management Practices. The facility is shown schematically on Schedule "10-2" within the Green Space designation. The land area designated shall be appropriate for incorporating natural wetland features and native vegetation with the pond design. The design of the pond shall ensure due consideration for public safety, maintenance, aesthetics and habitat potential. Storm water management facilities shall not be accepted as parkland dedication under the Planning Act. 10.3.12.3 A Storm Water Management Implementation Report shall be prepared to accompany the submission of a plan of subdivision. The report shalt address the implementation requirements of the Robinson Creek Master Drainage Plan including groundwater infiltration, baseflow enhancement, the design of storm water management facilities, erosion, sedimentation and water quality controls. 10.3.13 SERVICING 10.3.13.1 All development shall proceed on the basis of urban standards with sanitary sewers, watermains and storm sewers. 10.3.13.2 Water supply and sanitary sewer services can be supplied to the northerly portion of the neighbourhood using existing plants and through improvements to the existing systems. Water supply and sanitary sewer services for the southerly portion of this neighbourhood will require the construction of new facilities and/or expansion of existing facilities on the basis of Region wide considerations. The extension of water and sanitary sewer services shall be in accordance with Regional policy. 10.3.13.3 Minor system storm sewers will be designed in a conventional manner, to function by gravity and to suit topography and street pattern. l 13 59~ 07 10.3.14 IMPLEMENTATION AND INTERPRETATION 10.3.14.1 This Secondary Plan shall be implemented by the exercise of the powers conferred on the Municipality by the Planning Act, the Municipal Act, the Development Charges Act and other applicable statutes in accordance with the implementation policies of the Official Plan. 10.3.14.2 Prior to the final approval of any plan of subdivision or i~ site plan approval for urban land uses, appropriate provisions shall be made for: (i) road capacity improvements for Bloor Street between Harmony Road and Townline Road in the City of Oshawa; (ii) constnaction of a re-aligned Bloor Street between Townline Road . and Prestonvale Road; and (iii) adequate fire protection and other emergency services for this area. 10.3.14.3 The boundaries for land use areas are approximate only and shall be defined by the alignment of streets, natural features or lot boundaries in the implementing zoning by-laws. 10.3.14.4 The policies of this Plan shall be interpreted in conjunction with the applicable policies of the Official Plan.

LOCATION: The lands subject of this Amendment are located east of Townline Road, north of Bloor Street, west of Prestonvale Road, being Parts 33, 34, 35, Concession 1 and 2 in the former Township of Darlington, now the Municipality of Clarington. BASIS: A Neighbourhood Plan Amendment application (NPA 87-04/CS) was filed by Akal International Inc., in 1967 for the expansion of the Courtice Urban Area of Part Lots 33 and 34, Concession 2, former Township of Darlington. This application was subsequently assumed by 765400 Ontario Limited. On June 5, 1991, Regional Council adopted a new Durham Regional Official Plan which included the expansion of the Courtice Urban Area to incorporate lands subject to this amendment. The new Regional Official Plan was approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs on November 24, 1993. On January 27, 1992, Municipal Council resolved to undertake a review of the local official plan. At that time, Council exempted Stolp Homes (Newcastle) Developers Inc. from the administrative freeze on the processing of applications in the expansion areas during the period of the Official Plan Review. 1 X99 14 t In order to consider the Stolp application for a plan of subdivision, the Official Plan required the preparation and adoption of a neighbourhood development plan. The neighbourhood development planning area applied to an area larger than the Stolp Homes application. Several landowners, specifically Newcastle I Limited Partnership and Newcastle II Limited Partnership (which assumed the lands and the application by Stolp Homes (Newcastle) Developers), 289143 Ontario Limited and 765400 Ontario Ltd. hired Tunney Planning Inc. to prepare a neighbourhood development plan for this area. A Public Meeting on the Amendment #5 to the Courtice South Neighbourhood Plan and proposed Amendment #59 was held on September 19, 1994. Council referred the matter back to staff for further review. Also in consideration of the proposed Amendment at a meeting on September 26, 1994, Council resolved that Prestonvale Road should remain designated as a local road south of the intersection with Robert Adams Drive. On March 27, 1995, two applications to amend the Official Plan were submitted by 289143 Ontario Ltd. and 765400 Ontario Ltd. This Amendment to the Official Plan is based on the South-West Courtice Neighboufiood Study prepared by Tunney Planning Inc, the subsequent review by the general public and agencies of the consultant's recommended plan, and certain work undertaken as part of the Municipality's Official Plan Review, and Council's resolution of September 26, 1994 with respect to Prestonvale Road. ACTUAL AMENDMENT: The Courtice South Neighbourhood Development Plan is hereby amended as follows: 1. Throughout the document replace the words "Darlington Official Plan" with the words "Official Plan of the former Town of Newcastle" and replace the words "Town of Newcastle" with the words "Municipality of Clarington". 2.

Sri nos 8~ Associates Ltd. to your Mr. Nck Colucci which was copied to our Mr. John Presto. G. M. Sernas & Associates Ltd. promote improving the profile of Bloor Street east of Prestonvale Ttoad by construction of earth fill embanlanent. A copy of this letter is attached for your information. Staff from the Region agree in principle to elevating the profile of Bloor Street east of Prestonvale Road in recognition of the Type 'A' designation of Bloor Street and the associated beometric standards. The issues which remain unresolved in the context of the Southwest Courtice plan are related to cost attribution and timing. Tn addition, we have a copy of your report to General Purpose and Administration Committee dated May.15, 1995. Staff of the Transportation Rrxnch at the Workc pepartment agree with the proposed designation of Prestonvale Road as a Type 'C` Arterial from Highway No. Z southerly, however, we have technical concerns about the .realignment of Prestonvale Road relating to the proper spacing of intersections along the proposed Bloor Street realignment and safe sight distances for east/west traffic on Bloor Street at the relocated intersection.

We request further consideration ofthis matter through consultation with Region Planning and Works staff. It.would also appear that the matter should be addressed through the Southwest Courtice Secondary Plan process. We appreciate your consideration of the foregoing in reporting to Clarington Council .

Road No. 22) Qur proj.ect_ZIo. 88214 Further to our telephone conversation, we enclose a copy of sketch drawing S8214-SK-7 showing the fwdings of our preliminary investigation of possible improvements to the vertical alignment of Bloor Street between Prestonvale Road and Trulls Road. Existing grades were plotted from your 1" = 100 R. mapping (approx. date 1972}. The existing (culvert, canying Robinson Creek under Bioor Street, appears to be a 1370mm dia. CMF with t = 2.Smm thickness and 68mm x i3mm corrugations (54" dia., 12 gauge, 2 2/3" x 1/2" cotTUgations). It is in good condition arid, subject to a more detailed investigation, should be capable of carrying additional embankment Loads associated with raising the profile of Bloor Street. The culvert is presently approximately 20m Long and has a covCr of about 3 metres. Both alternative profiles are based an a design speed of 80 km/h (with K values of 30m and 35m for sag and crest curves, respectively}. The profile marked Alternative'A' involves the raising of the low point by about S metres. The resulting grades match existing conditions well, both at the intersection of Prestonvale Raad and at the driveways of rrsidcntisl properties. With an assumed rand cross-section incorporating two paved lanes {3.Sm each) and two shoulders (2.Sm each) as well as 2:1 embankment slopes, the existing Culvert Would have to be extended by 14 metres at each end. The profile marked Alternative'B' keeps the low point at its existing elevation. The new road grades require cuts of up to 4.S metres on each side of the valley. The intersection at Prestonvale Road is lowered by about 1.5 metres. Prestonvale Road will require regrading (or relocation to the west) and regading is also required at the driveways. Assuming the same road cross-section as described above, the culvert would have to be extended by 4 metres at each end. ..2/ „ ~ Y `i J ~.J J J. l U l 111 /:~Vlll 11 V111'.
