L1 C 4S2 as fir, d'.4li <,h6a a i.+ <. .. ~ ~~, ! r"i ,, _r i r .tit ~1~ ` i ~.~ t t Ms D. Hamre, Mayor 40 Temperance St. Bowmanville, Ont. Dear Ms. Hamre, March 27, 1995 ~('~' 0 3 i,~i Last week while driving North on Liberty Street, I witnessed a very disturbing incident. A little white dog strolled under the wheels of a transport truck. The squealing of the injured animal has haunted my sleep and having reflected on it, now I am not only upset, but extremely angry. Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the entire incident was the apparent indifference of the dog's owner. Sadly I believe this attitude toward pets is a pervasive one in Clarington. Both my neighbours and I have reported stray animals, and have received little satisfaction. I was told on one such occasion to restrain the dog before Animal Control -could deal with the animal. Who would have been legally responsible had I been bitten, contracting rabies or suffering a debilitating injury?. I am not trained nor prepared to deal with such situations. A neighbour of mine recently wrote to you regarding the number of stray animals in the area and the lack of action when such incidents were reported. The fact that it took a third strongly worded correspondence to elicit a response, however inadequate, indicates this irresponsible approach to pet ownership apparently reaches even the mayor's office. In the three years I have lived here, I have witnessed two stray dogs hit by vehicles. Conversely, in the previous 25 years that I lived in Scarborough, a much more densely populated area in terms of both people, pets and traffic, I only witnessed one such incident. Ironically, that dog was hit while on its leash. As this community is a growing one, this problem can only escalate as the number of pets and vehicles increase. A responsible municipal administration should be aware of the traffic risk, and the potential for rabies as habitats of indigenous wildlife are invaded. If the present municipal administration is unable to satisfactorily address the issues facing an expanding community, perhaps it should step aside in favour of an administration without the "small-town" mentality. A growing community needs leadership that grows with it. ~~ I understand that there is a cost for increasing the necessary Animal Control services. An increase in Municipal taxes is unwise as we personally already pay over $2000/year in a community with no public transportation and no local school (yet). An increase in licensing fees and/ or heavier fines for uncontrolled pets might be an appropriate way to offset the costs. Loving pet owners shouldn't complain and irresponsible ones hopefully will be deterred. What does it take, a rabies epidemic, or a child killed by a car swerving to avoid a stray dog before this issue is seriously addressed? Perhaps the squealing of an injured animal doesn't affect you; would the scream of an hurt child? The tragedy I saw the other day cannot be reversed, but I refuse to let that poor animal's suffering be in vain.

The Town, through Totten Sims Hubicki Associates, reviewed the four tenders received. The lowest bid, ($17,893.00) received from Class Glass, was examined and as they will not be subcontacting work their bid was considerable lower that the other bids which were: Veenstra - $34,508.00; Nubuild - $28,600.00; and Kraco - $25,952.00. Class Glass had only allowed for touch up paint on the interior frames and windows, therefore, they added approx $500.00 for complete painting of the frames and windows. Consequently, the Town recommended Class Glass for the restoration of the Museum's windows. Motion - to approve the tender bid of $18,393.00 ($17,893.00 plus extra $500.00) by Class Glass to restore the Bowmanville Museum windows and 95-A-3~ conservatory. - Moved by C. Morgan 2nd M.

Please take the time to read this report. You will find it informative and useful in understanding your local service provider, the Bowmanville Service Centre. Our goal is to be the electricity and electrical services supplier of choice for the customers we serve. Some of the achievements we've made in pursuit of this goal are described in the attached report. We are especially proud of the competitive initiatives and cost cutting steps already taken to position our Utility and the Retail System for the changes and challenges of the future. For example, our controllable costs have been reduced from $220 per customer in 1991 to $171 per customer today. During the same period of time controllable costs for the MEA have risen from $188 per customer to $192 per customer. I-3 We are also proud of the high level of skill and commitment of our staff to succeed in the electricity marketplace of Ontario. Their experience and customer service proficiency has resulted in numerous comments from ratepayers praising their dedication and effort. Two consecutive years of 096 rate change, reductions of 25% in our operating expenses, elimination of two layers of management, and a determination to continue our rate freeze while continuing to improve customer service, are the hallmarks of the new Retail System. On Thursday, March 23 Hydro's Chairman, Maurice Strong, announced that our proposed rates for 1996 will be a 0°k increase for our Retail customers for the third year in a row. Our promise to be the best choice for the customer in terms of both cost and quality continues to be fulfilled. If you have any questions or if there are any areas of concern you need further information about, please don't hesitate to call me at (905)623-2561 extension 3322. ~} Ci!

Commissioner's Report to Planning Committee Report No. 95-P- 33 Date: March 21, 1995 SUBJECT Regional Official Plan Amendment, Subdivision, Consent, and Area Municipal Official Plan and Amendment Procedures under the Planning Act, as amended by Bill 163; File: 2.7.3.16.1 RECOMMENDATIONS 1. THAT Council request that each azea municipality give notice of receipt of an application, and give notice of, and hold a public meeting, if necessary, pursuant to Subsections S 1(19) and 51(20) of the Planning Act, as amended, for each plan of subdivision and condominium received for approval by the Region of Durham within their respective jurisdictions; 2. THAT Council delegate the responsibility of holding public meetings for Regional Official Plan Amendment applications to Planning Committee; 3. THAT Council authorize the preparation of a by-law with respect to the other information and material required for privately initiated Regional Official Plan Amendment, plans of subdivision and condominium, and area municipal ®fficial plan amendment applications pursuant to the Planning Act, as amended; 4. THAT Council authorize the Regional Solicitor to prepare the necessary by-laws to incorporate the changes required by the amendments to the Planning Act, as amended; and 5. THAT Council adopt the procedures contained in Attachments Nos. 1 and 3 to Commissioner's Report No. 95-P- 33 for exercising its authority to approve plans of subdivision and condominium and to adopt amendments to the Durham Regional Official Plan. 4D 1 Commissioner's Report No. 95-P- 33 REPORT 1. Commissioners Report 95-P-23, received by Planning Committee on February 21, 1995 provided a general overview of the changes to the planning system introduced by Bill 163. The report indicated that the next step would be to deal with procedural changes required to deal with applications received after the March 28, 1995 proclamation date. The purpose of this report is to deal with procedural changes related to consents, plans of subdivision and condominium, Regional official plan amendments, and area municipal official plans and amendments. The adoption of the recommendations of this report will facilitate an efficient transition of planning operations under the amended Act. 2. Consg~ 2.1 Under the amended Planning Act the authority of Regional Council to grant consents and to delegate the authority for granting consents to the Land Division Committee, has not significantly changed. Procedural changes are required to address a number of items, including the manner in which notice of an application is givenand to address requests for amendments to conditions of approval. It is recommended that, if necessary, the Regional Solicitor be authorized to prepare a by-law that incorporates the changes required by the new legislation for the consideration of Council. 3. Plans of Subdivision/Condo~rin;um and Part Lot Control By-laws 3.1 Under the amended Planning Act, Regional Council is assigned the approval authority for plans of subdivision and condominium. The amended Act also makes provision for the subdelegation of the approval authority to an appointed officer. The amended Act, therefore, provides for the continuation of the approval procedure for plans of subdivision, condominium and part-lot control by-laws, in the manner that has been in place in the Region since 1980. Presently, Regional Council has delegated its approval authority to the Commissioner of Planning subject to criteria specified in the by-law. The approach structured in the existing by-law has worked very well. Page 2 ~' 41 _~ Commissioner's Report No. 95-P- 33 Page 3 It is recommended that, if necessary, the Regional Solicitor be authorized to prepare a by-law that incorporates the changes required by the new legislation for consideration of Council. -- 3.2 The amended Act introduces the requirement of a statutory public meeting to be held prior to the approval of a plan of subdivision (not a condominium). The Act does provides that the Region can request that this public meeting be held by the area municipality. Area municipal staff have advised that the majority of applications for plans of subdivision are the subject of a concurrent zoning application for which public meetings are held under the existing Act. Given this, the holding of public meetings for plans of subdivision would be generally consistent with the process presently utilized by the area municipalities. It is therefore, recommended that Council request that the area municipalities give notice of and hold the public meetings for plans of subdivision. As an added streamlining measure, it is also recommended that Regional Council request that the area municipalities give notice of the receipt of applications for plans of subdivision and condominium, as required by the Planning Act. The Act provides that notices of receipt and notices of public meeting maybe combined. 4 3.3 The amended Act also introduces timelines for the approval of a proposed plan of subdivision or condominium. The Region, as the approval authority, has 180 days from the receipt of a complete application within which to make a decision on an application. In the absence of a decision, the applicant has the right to appeal the application to the Ontario Municipal Boazd. To meet this timeframe, the azea municipalities will be asked to respond to the Region within 120 days. 3.4 Attachment No. 1 to this report is the procedure for processing plans of subdivision and condominium. This procedure has been modified to address the changes introduced by the new Act. Attachment No. 2 provides a summary of the process in the form of a flow chart. 4. Regional Official Plan Amendments ~ 4.1 The amended Act introduces a 180 day timeframe for making a decision after an application is received for a privately initiated amendment, containing all of the information required. Within this period the application has to be circulated, comments received and analyzed, reports prepared and presented, a public meeting held, issues resolved, and a Council decision reached. The amended Act requires Council, within 120 days of receipt of an application to hold a public meeting for 42 1 Commissioner's Report No. 95-P- 33 Page 4 purposes of informing the public and receiving submissions on the proposed amendment. Since this public meeting is not a decision meeting, and in order to meet the timeframes, it is recommended that Regional Council delegate the holding of the public meeting to the Planning Committee. This is similar to the present practice where Planning Committee previews an application with the public prior to making a recommendation to Council. 4.2 The proposed procedures provide for the Commissioner of Planning to prepare an information report for the purpose of the public meeting held by Committee. All persons or public bodies who make a submission at the public meeting or who request notification, will be given written notice of the time and place when Planning Committee and Council will consider the final disposition of the application. There must be at least 14 days between the public meeting and the meeting at which a decision is made on the application. 4.3 Following the public meeting, the Commissioner of Planning will present to Planning Committee and Council a recommendation report, containing a full analysis of the application and a recommendation. Notice of decision of Council will be given and an adopted amendment will be forwarded to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs for approval. 4.4 The amended Act provides that Council may pass a by-law requiring that a person or public body, making an application for an amendment to the official plan provide the certain specified information and material, including any fee. These by-law requirements would then provide the basis for returning an application that is not complete. Therefore, it is recommended that the~Regional Solicitor, in consultation with the Commissioner of Planning, be authorized to prepare the necessary by-law detailing the application information requirements for consideration by Council. 4.5 Attachment No. 3 to this report is the procedure for processing Regional official plan amendments modified to address the changes introduced by the new Act. Attachment No. 4 provides the process in the form of a flow chart. S. A~'e~ Municipal Official Plans and Amendments 5.1 The amended Planning Act assigns Regional Council the approval authority for official plans and amendments adopted by area municipal councils within the Region. 43 Commissioner's Report No. 95-P-33 Page S The amended Act also makes provision for the subdelegation of the approval authority to an appointed officer. The amended Act, therefore, provides for the continuation of the approval procedure for locally-adopted official plan amendments that has been in place in the Region since September, 1994. 5.2 At the time of the preparation of this report, the procedure for consideration of azea municipal official plans and amendments has not been completed. A number of changes have been introduced by the amended Act that have to be addressed including: i) the timeframe of 150 days from receipt of an application (adopted amendment); ii) the giving of notice of the decision and the 30 day appeal period; iii) new provisions which provide for the applicant to request that the Region, as the approval authority, consider approval of an amendment; iv) the receipt of referral requests, and the referral ®f, or the refusal of referral of such requests; v) resumption of the consideration of an amendment from the Ontario Municipal Boazd, where all appeals are withdrawn, or the Ontario Municipal Board dismisses the appeal.

This suggests that some Councilors are of the opinion that there is a strict separation of church and state in Canada and that it is therefore, perhaps, illegal or, at least, inappropriate for government funds to support projects initiated by religious bodies. This clearly is not the case since we are applying for funds from a provincial government grant programme which has provided funds to many religious organizations. Other churches I have been the minister of, in the past, have received local government funds. In 1987 Binbrook United Church received .funds from Hamilton- Wentworth Regional Council to initiate a 'Morning Out' programme for home-maker mothers. In 1990 the Paisley United Church received funds from the Township of Greenock to initiate a 'Parenting' programme. My understanding has been that in Canada, and in particular in Ontario, government funding, from all levels, has been granted on the basis of the worth- whileness of the programme to the general community. Does the Municipality of Clarington have a different, definedzpolicy? If so, I would be grateful to receive a copy of the relevant bylaw. Yours truly, ~ --,~ ~ ~. ^I ~' i~ _v ~ti~ .,,_ ,.

'I'1~ a action is founded principally on Section "r of the Charter of Rights and Frie~~.dams which protects thc; fundamental right of individuals to "life, liberty and security of the person". Accordingly, the focus of the legal challenge is the risk to life, health and safety that result~~ from uncontrolled accessory apartment development. This includes the risk of injury or death by, fire and the risk to public health as a consequence of overloading the sewer systems and othesr municipal systems supporting development. The legal challenge will seek to establish that the legislation increases th+; risk of fire and sewer overload and thereby increases the chances of injury, ill health or even death in particular cases. The case will s+;ek to demonstrate that these effects infringe the fundamental rights to life and security of the person as protected in Sectio». 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, 'X'k.e legal challenge will be supported by comprehensive evidence of fire, r~ealth, planning and engineering representatives of the City of London and other municipalities ac well as evidence on behalf of concerned citizens. The legal action will seek to strike down those sections of the Residents' R~'ghts Act which infringe the fundamental rights of citizens of the ;Province of Ontario.

(AMO) j',~ined municipal leaders today in their united stand against sections of the Residents' Righ~:~ Act permitting as-of-right apartments in houses. "Since 1992, the Association has presented strong policy arguments against this blanket provincial legislation which permits an "apartment in a house" its-of-right, Now, under the leadership of the City of London, a Coalition has put forward legal arguments founded on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms against this legislation. It':~ about time the Province finally accepted that from a policy and legal perspective this legislation is severely flawed and must be changed", said AMO President Bill Mickle. Mr. Mickle, who is also the Reeve of the Town of Exeter, referred to AMO's recently released municipal platform for the 1995 Irovincial election which calls on t:he Government to repeal the Bill 120 Planning Act amendments which permit as-of-right apartments in houses. AMO and municipalities have argLted that this type of "blanket" legislation does not ~a t address the impacts of additional housing units on existing bard services. 5e~-vicing capacities are based on the design density of resider,~tial developments. Across the b~.~ard increases in residential densities does not ensure that adequate servicing is available or .;an be provided. Servicing concerns include sewer and water capacities, and 'the ability ro accommodate increased parking and traffic demands. Cfther concerns such as the incre~,~sed risk of fire associated with uncontrolled accessory apartment development have also 'been cited. "'This legislation not only overrides current zoning but also excludes "planning" to ensure that the necessary services are av,~ilable to accommodate the resi~~ential densities permitted;' said Mr. Mickle. 84/12/95 89:27:82 EST: 14169297574-> 19856234169 CLERK-Claririgton T Page BB5 ' APR-11-' 95 15:28 I D: A~10 TEL hJO: 416'~2'~ .'S r4 #451 P~14 AM:CI SUPPORTS CITY CAF LONDC-N COURT ACTIOr~ The Association of Municipalities of Qntario supports the intensification of privately- held housing (e.g. accessory apartments;) as one way to meet housinli; intensification ,goals.However, AMO believes that decisions on housi~g~intens~cation policies for local communities should be the responsibility of municipalities.

Whittington, Director of Business Development DATEr February 9, 1995 SUBIECI: Southern Ontario Area Airports Study: Strategic Alternatives Discussion Paper - Draft REPORT NQ: 74/94 I~ITRODIICT20~1 s In August 1994, Transport Canada released a report entitled "Southern Ontario Area Airports study - Strategic Alternatives Discussion Paper (Draft)". This discussion paper provides information on a study being undertaken by Transport Canada which is examining options for meeting long term aviation needs in South Central Ontario. The purpose of this report is to inform Council o! the study and to provide brief comments on the draft discussion paper. BACRGROII~iD In August 1989, the federal government announced a strategy to improve the efficiency and capacity of aviation services and facilities in Southern Ontario. The two key elements of the strategy were as follows: first, that Lester B. Pearson International Airport (I,BPZA) continue as the major airport and be developed to its maximum capacity; and second, that other airports in Southern Ontario be developed to respond to immediate demands and ultimately their roles within the airports system, supplementing the role of LBPIA. The Southern Ontario Area Airports Study was initiated to respond to the second element of the strategy. The Study will assess the long term airport needs of Southern Ontario, examine the range of options for meeting these needs, and make recommendations for how best to manage the expected demand. Nineteen airports and the Pickering lands have been included in the Study as illustrated on the attached Figure 1. The discussion paper released by Transport Canada has been distributed to the public, including municipalities, for the purpose of eliciting comments. It was intended that the paper would stimulate discussion at the public meetings being convened across the study area. In this regard, a public meeting was held-on October 18, 1994 at the Ajax Community Centre and was attended by Planning Department staff. The meeting was well attended by the pubattendance and spoke vincial and Federal Members of Parliament were in Planning i D~v~lop~~nt Co~sitt~• - F~bsuarp 9, 199s Southern Ontario Area Airports etude: etrat~gio Alt~rnativ~• Disausaion Paper - Draft DI8CII88I0~1 Issuers Paq~ Z ..~ The following issues are being taken into account in the preparation of a long term plan: • The capacity at LBPIA. The main purpose of the Study is to determine how best to accommodate growth the LBPIA will not be able to accommodate. An analysis has been completed regarding capacity and predicts that by the year 2020, there could be between 50,000 and 125,000 additional aircraft movements that would need to be accommodated elsewhere. • The potential role of both the Toronto Island and Buttonville Airports. While both have the potential to handle more regional traffic than at present, there is the potential that these airports could close. • The disposition of the Pickering lands. These lands could support a full international airport if required. Originally expropriated in the early 1970~s as the next major airport for Toronto, the 7,500 hectares could become a commercial/corporate airport in the future. Recently, plans to sell 2,064 hectares of the holding were postponed until this Study has been completed. • The reliability of the traffic forecasts which form the basis for the study. Questions raised include: when will LBPIA reach capacity? will it ever reach capacity? Should long term airport planning needs be addressed at all? • The role of the federal government. The federal government has reduced its role in and control of the aviation industry and airports. It is expected that this trend will continue and any plan prepared must be flexible enough to respond to changes beyond the control of the government. !-it~rnativ~• Three alternatives are being considered for the future: 1) No Airport Development: Traffic growth is managed differently, new technological advances allow greater capacity, or growth is reduced because diversion of traffic to other modes of travel such as high speed rail; 2) Traffic Sharing Amongst Existing Airports; and 3) Develop a Major New Airport: A new airport is built capable of handling 20 million passengers. Both the Pickering lands and the Hamilton Airport would be considered as options. planning i Developaent Committee - tebruary 9, 1996 page 3 southern Ontario Area Airports study: Btrategio 711ternative• Di~ou~sion paper - Draft iapliaatioaa for Ajaz Although Town staff will provide more detailed comments once the Study is complete, staff are of the opinion that it is necessary to provide Transport Canada with an indication of the Town's position on this matter at this time so that they may have the benefit of our comments prior to finalizing their Study. Consequently, the following comments have been prepared. While the Southern Ontario Area Airports Study is of great interest to the Town because it affects the geographical area in which Ajax is located, of particular interest is the federally owned land located in very close proximity to Ajax within the Town of Pickering. Although the discussion paper does not provide a recommendation regarding the future of the Pickering lands, it does cause the issue of whether or not the lands should be used for an airport to be raised. Although "no airport development" is one alternative, the report notes negatives like poorer service and possible loss to U.S. centres nearby. "Developing a major new airport" alternative could only reasonably consider the Pickering lands and the Hamilton Airport due to the major land requirements of such a facility. This alternative would not likely be required for some 20 to 30 years. Lester B. Pearson Airport has served as one of the key factors in attracting business growth to the western portion of the Greater Toronto Area. Many businesses rely on that proximity for international travel, cargo, etc. which is becoming more prevalent as our economy globalizes. At a recent forum regarding the economic future o! the G.T.A., one of the key proposals put forward was to keep the option open to build the Pickering Airport by about the year 2030. From the Town's perspective, locating an airport in Pickering would be a welcome opportunity. Not only would Durham as a region realize benefits, but Ajax in particular. The Town's close proximity to the Pickering lands means that it is wall positioned to benefit from airport related development. An airport would act as a catalyst for growth in the immediate area, and function as a gateway for growth in the remainder of the Region. In Ajax, an expanded urban area with additional employment designated lands could provide excellent opportunities for airport associated business activity, meaning additional new employment opportunities and increased municipal revenues. The infrastructure investment that accompanies airport development would also be of great benefit to the Town and the Region. The airport would also be an excellent tool for municipal staff for encouraging economic development. The report mentions that the Regional Municipality of Hamilton-Wentworth is very supportive of the expanded use of the Hamilton Airport. Based on the preliminary air traffic capacity projections, there will only be the need to create one additional new major airport facility in southern Ontario in the foreseeable future. Clearly, if the Pickering site is to be considered the Re ions ofi Durhamd and oarea tmunicipal ties lmust ibe position from g brought forward.

As I noted to you in my letter on the day the Budget was tabled, the $722 million federal commitment to the Infrastructure Program in Ontario is unchanged and the Program's key objectives will be unaffected. While the Budget constrains funding available this year, the Program extension will provide additional flexibility for our local partners. Your estimate of the effects of the Budget decision on Ontario is inaccurate. The impact of the Budget will be felt ec~ally in all parts of the country. This would mean moving approximately 20 per cent of the money planned for this year in each province into future years. For Ontario this translates into moving about $73 million into future years; not the $103 million "reduction" claimed several times in your letter. The changes we seek to annual cash requirements under the various federal- provincial Infrastructure Agreements in no way diminish the total jobs created, but rather extend the job creation process over a longer period. We expect to create 40,000 more jobs nation-wide than our estimates at the beginning of the Program. Moreover, 1995 will still be the peak construction year. Total expenditures in Ontario this year will exceed $866 million, and will create more than 14,000 jobs. Canada -2- I have received indications from several municipal leaders from Ontario and across Canada, that the new spending profile better matches their ability to undertake projects in the coming and subsequent construction seasons. Indeed, many municipalities welcome the extension of the Program to five years. This will give them additional flexibility and relax implementation deadlines. As a former Mayor, I can well imagine the anxiety your letter caused some Ontario municipalities and school boards. I am disappointed that you have chosen to politicise this issue. It is in the interests of all three partners in the Canada-Ontario Infrastructure Works Program that we continue working together. To those who now fear that their projects cannot proceed I would assure them that these recent changes to the Infrastructure Works program will not affect their projects adversely. Very soon I trust that we can conclude needed changes to the Canada-Ontario Infrastructure Agreement, including the extension of deadlines for construction by two years.

THAT Commissioner's Report No. 95-P-36 be received for information; and 2. THAT a copy of Commissioner's Report be forwazded to the azea municipalities. REPORT 1. An Ontario Municipal Boazd pre-hearing conference was held on January 30 and 31, 1995 on the referrals to the Durham Regional Official Plan. The main purposes of the pre-hearing conference were to: • identify parties, participants and issues; • consolidate matters; and • determine hearing start date and duration. 2. On March 9, 1995 the Boazd issued the decision on the pre-hearing. A copy of the decision is attached. The key points of the decision aze as follows: • Parties to the hearing, their solicitors or agents, and persons or organizations requesting to be participants to the hearing are identified; • Some referrals have associated applications (official plan amendments, rezonings). Such applications may be joined to the hearing. However, the Board has postponed finalization of procedural directions until the processing of sach applications. The parties having such applications are to advise the Region of the progress of their applications; 41 Commissioner's Report No. 95-P- 36 Page 2 • A second pre-hearing conference is scheduled for Friday April 21, 1995, to discuss and refine the directions given by the Boazd; • The main hearing will start on Monday September 18, 1995, and if necessary may continue until Friday December 15, 1995; and • The Board concluded that the issues to be canvassed at the hearing do not appeaz to be objections to the general principles or policies advocated by the Durham Plan. Instead, the issues focus on the appropriateness of particular designations of parcels of land and the acceptability of related policies. A preliminary proposal to group the major issues and the phasing of the hearing is offered by the Boazd. 3. The decision of the Boazd provides sufficient direction to the parties, including the Region and azea municipalities, to continue preparing for the second pre- hearing conference and the main hearing. The dates for the second pre-hearing conference and main hearing offered by the Boazd aze reasonable. The Region agrees, in principle, with the major issues and phasing of the hearing, as proposed by the Boazd. Some refinements may be suggested at the second pre-hearing conference. The Planning Department will continue to work towazds resolving referrals prior to the main hearing. Attachment: Disposition of the Boazd on aPre-Hearing Conference held on January 30 and 31, 1995.

Bill Fay Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (Referrals 4, 12, 19, 32, 34) DISPOSITION OF THE BOARD on aPre-Hearing Conference held on 31~ January and 1 February 1995 The subject of this Pre-Hearing Conference is the 'new Official Plan. for the Regional Municipality of Durham. Several property owners within the affected area have requested referral of designations and/or policies of the Plan as they pertain to their individual properties. THE PARTIES The parties to this hearing and their respective solicitors or agents are as listed in Schedule "A" to this decision. PARTICIPANTS Persons requesting participant status, that is, an opportunity to make submissions r to the Board are indicated in Schedule "B". 51 -10- The issues to be canvassed at this hearing are clearly focused. None appear to be objections to the principles or policies advocated by the plan in General. For the most part, they centre on the appropriateness of particular designations to specific parcel of land and the acceptability of the related policies which would flow from those proposed designations. i A preliminary proposal for the major issues which underlie the referrals before the Board is presented in Schedule "C". *The individual referrals are grouped by issue.* Under this organization it is proposed that the hearing will be phased in order to package the policy conoems and facilitate the attendance of intervenors/referrors only for those segments (Parts) of the issue schedule where they may have a conoem. 1. It would be expected that all parties .will attend Phase I (Does the Region have adequate facilities ?) 2. Although an attempt is made to compartmentalize the hearing of issues the Board can give no assurance that the hearing in any one phase will .hold r+e implication for other phases. 3. It will be the responsibility of ail parties to monitor the course of the hearing to ensure their preparedness to attend with necessary witnesses as each part comes forward: *(For mutual assistance, parties in each part should consult with each other in order to derive estimates of approximate duration of each part)* 52 -11- 0940118 FILINGS. WITNESS STATEMENTS. DOCUMENT EXCHANGE It is agreed among the parties that arrangement for filings and exchange of document to be used at the hearing should reflect the schedule for hearing of the individual parts. *Accordingly, the parties are required to discuss and produce an estimate of lead times required in advance of hearing as appropriate. Alternatively, a standard minimum (e.g.) 2 weeks, may suffic:~.* • - _ • , ~ • 1 1 --~ ~ ll~ The Board is advised that some referrors are in the process of processing applications for alternative use of properties and/or application for site rezoning and/or subdivision development. The Board has therefore postponed finalization of procedural directions to provide such applicants with time for public notification, consultation and processing as may be required under the Planning Act. *The parties requesting such approvals are required to advise the Region's Council, copied to the Board, of the progress of these application.* SECOND PRE-HEARING CONFERENCE The parties have requested a second Pre-Hearing Conference to refine the directions now given. The Board agrees with this suggestion, and for this purpose appoints: Friday 21, April 1995 at 10:00 a.m. Durham Regional Council Chambers All parties are to attend this one day hearing. No further notice will be given. 53 -12 HEARING ON THE MERITS The Board appoints the commencement date for the hearing on the Merits as: Monday 18 September, 1995 continying if necessary to Friday 15 December 1995.* The public phases of the hearing to receive general submission will be appointed by the hearing panel.

On June 23,1994, Bill 104, the Municipal AmendmentAd (I~ital Services), 1994 received Royal Assent and came into force (Appendiz A). The purpose of the Act is to enable the council of a local municipality to pass by-laws to ensure that persons living in rented residences do not have services discontinued which are vital to making the residence habitable. The highlights of Bill 104 are: (a) "Vital service" is defined as fuel, electricity, gas, hot water, water, and steam; (b) "Vital services by-law" is defined as a by-law passed under subsection (2) of the new section 210.2 of the Municipal Act•, (c) The council of the local municipality may pass by-laws, (i) requiring every landlord of a building or part of a building that is rented or leased as a dwelling to provide adequate and suitable vital services to each part of the building that is used as a dwelling; (ii) prohibiting a supplier from ceasing to provide the vital service, where the landlord bas breached a contract with the supplier for the supply of the vital service, until a notice has been given to the clerk of the local municipality at least thirty days before the supplier ceases to provide the vital service; (iii) requiring a supplier to promptly restore the vital service when directed to do so by an official named in the by-law. (d) A vital service by-law does not apply to a landlord to the extent that a tenant has expressly agreed to obtain and maintain the vital services. /... Lc Report #95-MOH-21 cont... ,,,2 2. If local municipal councils pass vital services by-taws, then Health Department staff will not have to engage in the tedious process of attempting to have vital services continued by using the Health Protection and Promotion Act. However, as of March 10, 1995, no local municipal councils had passed vital services by-laws. Respectfully submitted, RJ.

Receives this report for information; and 2. Forwards this report to the Municipality of Clarington and Town of Pickering for information. REPORT: In Apri11990, the then Acting Medical Officer of Health struck the Darlington Pre-Baseline Health Study Committee to provide him with advice as to conducting a baseline health study in advance of the startup of the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. On January 9,1991, the Regional Council endorsed the Committee's recommendations. Since then, the Commissioner and Medical Officer of Health has prepared two reports (Reports #91-MOH-48 and #92-MOH-47) to advise the Health and Social Services Committee about the Health Department's progress in addressing or implementing the recommendations. The current status of the recommendations is described below, following each recommendation: 1. THAT Durham Region, subsequent to review and adoption, notify the public when new issues of the "Compendium of Statistical Tables and Graphs for Durham, Salton, Northumberland and Ontario" are released and that copies be sent to the reference desks of selected public libraries in Durham Region. The Health Department will complete the latest revision to the Compendium in 1995. Completion is awaiting the receipt of data from the Ontario Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation and the subsequent data analysis. The 1995 edition will be more comprehensive than previous compendia (1983, 1985, and 1988 editions) including a more eztensive listing of birth defects and cancer, interpretation of the data, and discussion of the general limitations of the data. After the 1995 Compendium is published it will be distributed to many stakeholders and to Durham public libraries. /... ~O Report #95-MOH-24 cont... ,,,2 2. THAT Durham Re 'on circulate in ormation to Durham R 'on h 'clans on the sub'ect b'i f ~ P l'~ J of radiation and public health and the surveillance programs taking place in Durham Region. The Health Department is committed to informing local physicians, when necessary and appropriate, about the health effects of radiation and local surveillance programs. For ezample, the Health Department promoted to local physicians A Symposium on Radiation Risks and Public Concern that was sponsored by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited and was held on September 11,1992 at the University of Toronto. In addition, local physicians will be advised about the contents of the 1995 Compendium. 3. THAT Durham Region arrange fora public radiation arposure index' to be published monthly showing monthly emissions from the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station and the Pickering Nuclear Generation Station, in relation to total environmental exposure On November 17,1994, the Atomic Energy Control Board published in several local newspapers the first edition of the Radiation Monitor, a new bulletin to inform the public of the radiation ezposure from the Darlington and Pickering Nuclear Generating Stations (Reports #94-MOH-7 and #95-MOH-S). The Monitor is updated and published locally every three months. 4. THAT Durham Region recommend that the "Compendium of Statistical Tables and Graphs... " be modified to include age-specific cancer incidence ratez Cancer incidence data will be included in the 1995 Compendium. 5. THAT Durham Region recommend to the Province of Ontario that a mechanism for linking infant death records with birth records be developed In 1991, in response to this recommendation, the Public Health Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Health studied the feasibility of linking birth and death records. The study demonstrated that the linking of these records is possible. However, the study required significant time and resources and the success rate was only 56.5% for Ontario records and 79.3% for Durham ones. Accordingly, the Public Health Branch does not intend to perform record linkages routinely nor to advocate for the Registrar General to do the same. In a related development, Health Canada is establishing a National Perinatal Surveillance System (NPSS) which will replace the current Canadian Congenital Anomalies Surveillance System. It is intended that the NPSS will be able to Gnk birth and death records using a method developed by Statistics Canada. The NPSS will be completed within one to two years at the earliest. The Health Department will monitor the development of the NPSS closely and will respond to this initiative when appropriate. /... ~ 4S Report #95-MOH-24 cont.. .,.3 6. THAT Durham Region recommend to the Province of Ontario that the birth record be modified to include i) residence of the mother during pregnancy and ii) occupation of the parents at the time of conception. This recommendation was extensively reviewed by the Public Health Branch. In its report to the Health Department, the Public Health Branch concluded that time and resources would be better invested using existing databases rather than creating a more detailed database to study the health of workers and their children. (This report, which addressed recommendations 5 and 6, was presented to the Committee on September 22, 1992 by Dr. Lesbia Smith, Senior Medical Consultant, Public Health Branch). Accordingly, the Health Department will not be taking any further actions as regards this recommendation. 7. That Durham Region keep itself updated on any epidemiological investigations being done with nuclear workers and their families and surrounding communities, regarding any adverse health effects that may be caused by law-level ionizing radiation. The Health Department is endeavouring to keep itself continually informed about the human health effects of low-level ionizing radiation. To his end, the Health Department reviews relevant reference material and receives such material periodically from the Public Health Branch. In addition, the Health Department has informally arranged with the Health Physics Department of Ontario Hydro Nuclear to mutually share relevant reference material. 8. THAT Durham Region investigate the individual characteristics (~ e., risk factors) in all: a) stillbirths; b) congenital anomalies; and c) law birth weight infant deaths The Health Department's epidemiologist has reviewed the feasibility and utility of implementing recommendations 8 and 9. She has concluded that it may not be feasible or useful to implement this recommendation as written for several reasons including: (a) 60% to 80% of birth defects have no known risk factors. (b) In order to protect personal privacy, the Ontario Ministry of Health is unlikely to continue to forward Notices of Live Birth or Stillbirth to boards of health. As a result, the Health Department would be unable to contact "cases" (i.e., mothers of newborns with adverse reproductive outcomes -stillbirths, congenital anomalies, or low birth weights) to determine whether any known risk factors were present. (c) The Health Department does not have access to hospital data which would also assist it to identify cases. (d) Many cases may resent being contacted by the Health Department because they may feel that their privacy has been invaded. (e) "Controls" (i.e., parents of normal newborns) would also have to be interviewed regarding the presence of risk factors to determine whether a risk factor is only present for cases. Selecting and interviewing controls on an ongoing basis would be difficult, time consuming, and resource intensive. /... 50 D Report #95-MOH-24 cont... ...4 For the above reasons, the Health Department has adopted other strategies to investigate adverse reproductive outcomes in Durham: (a) The Health Department has begun to develop a birth statistics database which captures all the relevant information on birth and stillbirth notices except the mother's name . Using a population health approach, this database will be used for mapping births in Durham and identifying and investigating clusters of adverse reproductive outcomes. (b) The Health Department will also use this database to compare rates of adverse reproductive outcomes in Durham and Ontario to determine whether any rates in Durham are excessive. (c) On occasion, Durham residents may report possible local clusters of adverse reproductive outcomes. The Health Department investigates these clusters individually using a non-communicable disease investigative protocol. Concerns about the invasion of personal privacy may be overcome by involving an affected community in identifying and contacting cases directly. ff the use of any of these strategies identifies a true local problem that merits further investigation, the Health Department is prepared to advocate, for example, for additional expertise and resources to ensure a more detailed study is undertaken. 9. THAT Durham Region review all childhood cancers to determine if factors such as family history, family lifestyle; environmental or occupational health hazards may have affected the children. The epidemiologist advises that many of the issues discussed under recommendation 8 apply to the investigation of childhood cancers. In particular, the Health Department does not have access to identifying information for childhood cancers. Accordingly, the Health Department will continually monitor childhood cancer rates in Durham and will endeavour to keep abreast of current relevant research findings. The Health Department will review any local problems and, if necessary, advocate for a more in- depth study to be undertaken. 10. THAT ... the mister of Health, forthwith, fund the [epidemiologist and graphics clerk) positions ... and [a desktop computer and publishing system)... Using existing resources at the time, the Health Department hired afull-time epidemiologist in May 1994 and a part time graphics clerk in October 1994. The clerk has access to desktop publishing and graphic computer software and associated -. hardware. The epidemiologist has continually worked on revising the 1995 Compendium since she was hired. To date, it has not been necessary for the graphics clerk to assist in preparing this Compendium. Respec lly submitted, RJ.

As in the past, they will be people who have shown leadership in extending the participation of people with disabilities in our society and economy. A jury, composed of spokespersons from the community of persons with disabilities, will be looking for people who change lives by becoming involved. Past winners of the Community Action Awards have included volunteers in psychiatric outpatients programs, people who raise awareness by putting disability issues on the public agenda as well as those who create new options for independent living for people with disabilities. There are many Ontarians who work to promote and address disability issues. They deserve to be recognized for their efforts, and in recognizing them we draw attention to the needs, abilities and rights of people with disabilities. The enclosed Nomination form or a photocopy must be received by Friday, May 5, 1995, and may be submitted by FAX to (416) 314-7743 or by mail to the Ontario Honours and Awards office, 77 Bloor Street West, 15th floor, Toronto, Ontario, M7A 2R9.

Morris Townships of Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock V. Mason Town of Pickering and Townships of Uxbridge and Scugog J. Nesbitt City of Oshawa and Municipality of Clarington C. Morrison Municipality of Clarington D. Adams Towns of Ajax & Whitby C. Howden Region of Durham TELEPI30NE NO.

Section 3 of the Act states that "Every person in possession of land shall destroy all noxious weeds on it". Regional Weed Inspectors can issue orders to destroy noxious weeds but they have no authority to order weeds to be destroyed that are not on the Noxious Weed ice. The schedule of weeds in the Regulation lists 23 species of plants as noxious weeds and they are as follows: Bull Thistle Canada Thistle Colt's Foot Common Barberry European Buckthorn Dodder Hemlock, Poison Goat's-beard Johnson Grass Milkweed Nodding Thistle Poison Ivy Proso Millet, black, seeded Ragweed Russian Thistle Russian Knapweed Sow-thistle, perennial, annual Scotch Thistle Leafy Spurge Cypress Spurge Wild Carrot Tuberous Vetchling Yellow Rocket Weeds such as Dandelions and Goldenrod are ~ considered noxious weeds under the Act. 1 3. Where a municipality has appointed a "Municipal" Weed Inspector under Section 8 of the Act, it may by by-law designate additional weeds as noxious in all or part of the municipality. Such a by-law requires approval of the Minister. 4. Regional Weed Inspectors may, in some instances, not be able to order weeds to be cut that the public may deem should be destroyed. Section 22 of the Act exempts from its requirements those weeds which are far enough away from any land used for agricultural or horticultural purposes that they do not interfere with that use. In order to comply with the provisions of Section 15 of the Act, a statement of the expenses incurred by the Regional Weed Inspector which has not been paid within fifteen days after request for payment shall be presented to the Council of the Municipality in which the land is located. Section 15 of the Act reads as follows: 15. (1) If an order served under Section 13 is not complied with, the inspector may cause the noxious weeds or weed seeds to be destroyed in the prescribed manner. (2) Inspectors shall keep a record of the expenses incurred under subsection (1) with respect to each parcel of land. (3) The expenses shall be submitted to the clerk of the municipality who shall have a statement of the expenses and a notice requesting payment served on the person in possession of the land and on its owner. (4) The statement and notice shall be serviced in the same manner as an order under Section 13. (5) If the person upon whom a statement and notice were served fails to pay the amount set out in the statement within fifteen days after the service of the notice, the clerk shall present the statement to the Council of the Municipality in which the land is located, and the Council shall order the amount to be paid out of the general funds for the municipality. (6) The amount paid by the municipality shall be deemed to be taxes and shall be added to the collector's roll against the receptive parcels concerned and collected in the same manner and with the same priorities as municipal taxes 1988, c.51.s.15.

Attachment No. 1 - Correspondence from Durham Region Farm Fresh Marketing Attachment No. 2 - Policy on Installation and Administration of Durham - Farm Fresh Marketing signs on Regional Roads Attachment No. 3 Durham Farm Fresh Marketing logo sign The Durham Region Farm Fresh Marketing Association has expressed a need for identifiable roadside signage to direct customers to pick-your-own and other direct-to-market farm produce sales in the Region of Durham. The Association's goals are to promote locally grown farm fresh fruit and vegetable produce and related farm products and pick-your-own operations (Attachment No . 1) . ,~, The Ministries of Agriculture and Food, Tourism, Recreation & Culture ~ and Durham Region's Economic Development Department, endorse the Association's goals as a means to educate the public on the nutritional value of fresh farm produce, promote agriculture related tourism and to recognize the importance of maintaining and supporting an economically viable agriculture industry. 6 T02 ps k Page 2 Report 95-W-40 Date March 21, 1995 Report (f'ont' d) Regional Works and Economic Development staff met with the Association to develop a viable approach to further the Farm Fresh Marketing signage program. The outcome was the design of a logo type information sign by the Works Department which was accepted by the Members of the Farm Fresh Marketing Association at their annual meeting in early February 1995 (Attachment No. 3). Further meetings resulted in the formation of a policy which addresses ~11, the installation and administration of the signage program (Attachment No. 2). The policy provides for the Association to screen member applicants to ensure that minimum standards are satisfied before signing is permitted and that the Association provides the funding for the manufacture, installation and maintenance of the signage program by the Region. In order to fully satisfy. the Association's goals and complete the signage program, the co-operation of the Area Municipalities is required as some signage will be required on area municipality roads. t The Association is aware that signage on Regional Roads is only an information vehicle and that the Associati®n and its members are expected to further promote their industry through publications, media and other promotional means. The Durham Fresh Farm Marketing signage program, as outlined in this report and policy, provides major benefits and it is recommended that the program be endorsed by Council. ~ ~~ . V.A.

As is being shown clearly as the issue of the shooting of Samson Gasser is played out, there are defuute holes in the supervision and accountability of the current Animal Control Program. This program may, at times, seem to be a thorn in the side of Council, and that removing it from the Town's direct control would alleviate this. However, under the present system the public do have some recourse when the expected/required quality of service is lacking. As a Town Program the Animal Control staff aze accountable to the Town, and Town staff are accountable to the Council. This provides an avenue for evaluation and quality control which ultimately meets the expectations of the public who elect Council Members. If this Program were privately run - to whom would it be accountable? I believe there is a very real danger here. We probably all remember the disgusting situation which azose some years ago when food purchased for the animals in the pound was disappearing. This situation was cleazed up because of the chain of accountability to the public. Animals aze very vulnerable to ill treatment because they aze unable to verbally report. We, therefore, have a responsibility to ensure that those providing service to this vulnerable group are in a position of being totally accountable for their actions. The animal control service must never be allowed to be a "money making proposition" because this would offer an opportunity for the unscrupulous to take advantage. Animal Control can, and sometimes does, act as a partner with the public in this community. It can prevent road accidents by keeping loose animals off the streets; it can ensure tagged animals aze returned to their owners; it can offer an adoption service. Animal Control staff must have the required training to ensure they are capable of caring properly for the animals they service. They must be able to recognize an animal requiring veterinary care and have the authority and resources to access that care. D-4 l C 2 I urge Council Members not to take the "easy" route and offload a sometimes troublesome program, but to recognize the importance of a well run, accountable program to the public, the majority of whom are animal owners. With the proper supports, with management, supervision and evaluation skills in place, this Program can be a credit to the Town and the public will be glad to have the service.

Why waste the time of private sector contractors by having them prepare bids on a project which may not be brought to fruition, or, has the decision already been made? Despite the questionable behaviour of Animal Control and those While governments everywhere are in cost cutting mode, efficiency for its own sake is not what the public wants. Efficient delivery of necessary services is what the public wants and needs. Nor does the public want their elected officials simply to pass the buck by transferring ~~problem areas' to the private sector. A well run and responsive Animal Control department Staffed by caring individuals and run by the town under the supervision of honest, committed and qualified bureacrats is what Clarington needs. responsible concerning the ie+sue of my dogs, I wish to state that z do not favour privatization of Animal Control. This ie one of the few services that government can do a better job of providing, not because government employees are ao much smarter or honourable, but because they can be held accountable for their actions. This safeguard in itself is reason enough, but as well, public input can help municipal governments implement ideas to improve responsiveness and efficiency of such departments. Private sector operations cannot be held accountable in the same manner, and this factor alone removes incentives for less than completely scrupulous and caring operators to remain committed to providing the beat service possible from an animal welfare point of view. Animals give ue humans so much pleasure and companionship. zt would be a better world for all if we gave back to animals a fraction of what they give us. We humans are the only advocates animals have. Councillor Dreslinksi mentioned at the April 3rd meeting that you all have dogs.

The intent of this endeavour: is to provide tree planting on appropriate municipal land while promoting conservation and raising funding for conservation projects. If your municipality is interested in participating, you would need to designate a block of land that could be planted.. The Authority, in co-operation wth.:you, would then promote the idea of tree planting on this land and the Authority would subsequently undertake .tree planting as people make requests for .such planting. Requests would likely be made for a variety of reasons- uch as memorials to loved ones, recognition of a school graduation, or wedding anniversary. The type of tree planted would vary with the-site, but would be' approximately six feet in height. In time, the designated area of land would be fully planted and hence the resulting forest for conservation. We envision-that municipalities.may wish to,participate in this Authority program in order to achieve landscaping goals on municipal parkland. As well, the municipality would be helping to promote conservation and assisting in fund raising for conservation. Once a block of land is chosen, the Authority would sign the land as a "Forest for Conservation" and begin promoting tree planting on this land. While specific costs have not been set, and will undoubtedly vary with time, we envision that a person requesting a tree planting. would pay.the~Authority somewhere .between $5O and $100. The Authority. will then purchase and plant a suitable tree and provide thee participant with a locational map and certificate of the planting. Profit from the planting would help to fund ongoing conservation projects. ...2 t' 2 - If ~ur munci ality is interested in participatinq.in ;. y4 P this program'or you would like to discuss it further, we would appreciate hearing. from you by the end of April.

D-c 7 MAYOR'S U~t~iCCr We are writing this letter firstly to apologize missing the April 3, 1995 meeting of the General Purpose & Administration Committee and secondly to address the Draft Official Plan. The Draft Official Plan in its present form does not reflect the existing zoning of Wilmot Creek and it also does not permit the rezoning. of Phase 6 of Wilmot Creek as . _ _ it is presently planned. Most of you will be aware that since 1990' we have been working toward rezoning the Phase 6 or most western p®rtion of Wilmot Creek. The process has been quite lengthy partly due to the work on the Regional Official Plan, the waterfront trail and the Clarington Draft Official Plan. During that time. however; a fair amount of prpgress has been made: 1. The Region's Official Plan removed a specific population limit that it had originally proposed and now designates Wilmot Creek as "living area" with no limit attached. 2. Regional Works approved the allocation of servicing for the Phase 6 lands and Clarington's Public Works department and Ridge Pine Park Inc: have recently signed an agreement regarding the routing of these services to the Graham Creek plant. 3. Studies have been completed regarding traffic impact and noise attenuation. 1 Wheelhouse Drive, Unit #1 Newcastle, Ontario L1B 1B9 Toronto Direct (416) 369-0000 Sales (905) 697-5806 Administration (905) 697-5805 Wilmot Creek is presently zoned to include 867 homes (as of today 618 are constructed and occupied.) Phases 1 - 5 are scheduled to comprise 847 homes. Phase 6, as proposed, includes 164 homes, bringing the total potential number of homes to 1,011. The Draft Official Plan is intended to address the population of Wilmot Creek and for that matter, the population of the urban areas throughout Clarington. The Draft Official Plan, as worded today, does not recognize, from a population point of view, the existing zoning on Wilmot Creek and the existing situation at Wilmot Creek. Specifically, we respectfully submit the following are the points which need to be altered in the Official Plan so that Wilmot Creek as it is zoned today complies with the new Official Plan and also so that Phase 6, proposed with the 164 homes, will comply with the new Official Plan. 1. .Paragraph 16.4.1 makes reference to Rice Capital Group: This needs to be changed to Ridge Pine Park Inc. who actually owns Wilmot Creek. 2. Paragraph 16.4.2 presently refers to a maximum population of 1700 persons within Wilmot Creek. The "Population & Housing Targets By Neighbourhood" table subsequently places a housing limit of 850 on the lands, resulting in a person per unit count of 2. Firstly, our understanding is that Wilmot Creek is already zoned for 867 homes, not 850. Secondly, the. problem is not with the maximum population of 1700 which we are not asking to revise, but with the number of persons per unit. Your planning staff asked us to provide actual figures as to population at Wilmot Creek. This is very easy for us to do as the lease we have on each site states who lives in the home. The actual population is 1.68 persons per home. The Draft Official Plan needs to be changed so that it refers to this 1.68 figure. Using this figure and a total number of homes of 1,011, the potential population will be 1,699 persons, within the 1,700 figure. Changing the number of persons per home from 2 to 1.68 will not only be more accurate, it will: (a) permit the existing zoning to comply with the new Official Plan, and (b) permit Phase 6 as planned to comply with the new Official Plan. 2 t E Of interest, we examined the other adult communities we are involved in to see what the per person per home figure is for similar adult lifestyle communities that are 15 - 20 years older than Wilmot Creek: (i) at Sandycove Acres 1.52 ppu. (ii) at Grand Cove Estates 1.65 ppu. ~~ It would be fair to assume then that the 1.68 figure is realistic, even perhaps at the high end of the scale, as the population per home would appear to decrease somewhat over time, and the Phase 6 homes proposed are smaller in size, potentially attractive to the single senior. In order to ensure the new Official Plan is as accurate as possible, the "Population and Housing Targets by Neighbourhood" table needs to be amended to reflect this 1.68 figure by increasing the number of housing units to a total 1,011. The distribution of this total must be appropriately reflected with respect to its low and medium density designation within the table, having regard for the types of homes proposed in Phase 6. We would be pleased to meet with staff to discuss this issue further. 3. Paragraph 16.4.4 presently refers to "the provision of the waterfront trail through the undeveloped area" of Wilmot Creek. Committee members need to be aware of the fact that Council in 1993 passed the following motion unanimously. Resolution #C-243-93: Moved by Councillor Hannah, seconded by Councillor Hooper "THAT the Commission on the Waterfront be advised that, should the waterfront trail proceed, the Council Corporation of the Town of Newcastle does not support the waterfront trail traversing the Wilmot Creek development, but a route north of the Wilmot Creek development." Also, the homeowners of Wilmot Creek have made it clear that they do not want the trail going through Wilmot Creek. The New Official Plan needs to eliminate this paragraph or state that the alignment of the trail is to be north of Wilmot Creek. Attached for your convenience is a table summarizing the above three points. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused through our absence at the meeting of April 3, 1995, and appreciate the opportunity to place our concerns on record through this submission. ~ 3 ~ . `.

Avery large percentage of the population are pet owners, and many of these pet owners consider their dog or cat to be "part of the family". There are many couples who have no children, as well as older people with no other family than their pet(s), so it is understandable that this is such an emotionally charged issue. Privatization may sound like a fiscally responsible proposal, but is it really in the best interests of the Community and especially the animals? In other municipalities where Animal Control has been contracted out, there has been a significant difference in the result, dependant upon the eventual providers of the ser<~ice. Municipalities which have contracted out to the Humane Society have, in most cases, been happy with the service. Where Animal Control has been contracted out to a private company, the result has been very different. The objective of most private companies is profit. Therefore the risk of animals being sold for experimentation as well as an increase in euthanasia rates, lower adoption rates, etc. is greatly increased. Also at issue is the care and treatment of the animals. The Humane Society, or a group such as Durham Animal Adoption, as non-profit organizations and by the very nature of the reason for their existence, is much more likely to provide humane treatment, have better adoption rates, lower euthanasia rates, and not be selling the animals for experimentation. With Animal Control falling directly under Municipal Control as it presently is, we have had high adoption & low euthanasia rates, with no animals being sold for experimentation, thanks to the cooperation between the Municipality and Durham Animal Adoption. There is also great public accessibility as well as accountability. I'm afraid much of this would be lost if contracted out to a private company. t I would like to offer some suggestions that Council might consider. Instead of being a "problem" area, Animal Control could be a public relations bonus, while at the same time more income could be generated to help cover costs. A "Dog Day Afternoon" or something to that effect could be held each summer in a local park or other appropriate area. contests could be held (fora $5.00 entry fee) for the "dog with the waggiest tail", dog with the longest ears", "biggest dog", smallest dog", etc., with inexpensive prizes such as ribbons that are .given at dog shows. Parents and children would attend with family pets for a fun family outing. Groups such as Durham Animal Adoption, Durham Canine Update, or other Clarington area groups could attend and give "Responsible Ownership" talks, or other educational material. An obedience group might attend and put on an obedience demonstration, as well as flyball, agility demonstrations and/or competitions, etc. Vendors who sell pet products such as leashes, collars, fencing, food, etc. could pay a nominal fee ($25.00) to set up a small booth where people can buy supplies, books, etc. A local Charity group may want to hold a chicken Bar-B-Q to raise money for their own cause, and also provide the opportunity for families to make a whole day of it including lunch (or dinner). Besides raising some money to help cover some of the town's expenses in running Animal Control, it would be great public relations and could be educational as well as fun for pet owners. There are also a considerable number of CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) members and dog show and obedience enthusiasts who live in Clarington. At CKC Sanction Matches, where puppies and young dogs are frequently shown in preparation for Championship Shows, the prizes are usually ribbons and dog food. Most breeders feed one kind of food to their dogs and don't like to switch to other brands, but what to do with all those bags and cans of food won at these matches? With some publicity as well as good relations with these "show people", much of this dog food could be donated to the Municipality for Animal Control - something I'm sure most of us would be more than happy to do. This could help reduce feeding costs for the Municipality. I have two other suggestions I hope Council will consider. 1. Please consider moving Animal Control back to the Clerk's Department where it used to be. I believe it should be with the By-Law enforcement division, and also under the direction of Councillor Pingle (if she would be willing to take on the added responsibility). By her questions and comments to Council, Councillor Pingle seems to have the most reservations concerning the call for tenders for Animal Control, and also seems to have a sincere interest in the welfare of the animals. With all the questions still surrounding Mr. Caruana's handling of the recent "dog shooting incident" in Orono, including his faulty interpretation and/or his lack of knowledge of the Provincial Livestock Act, especially Chapter L.24 Section 3 (1) and 3 (2)a & b, and all of Section 4 - this may be precluded from happening again by moving responsibility for Animal Control back to the Clerk's Department. Councillor Pingle and Mrs. Barrie may not be prepared to take on this responsibility, but it is my sincere hope that they will consider it. I'm sure they can expect much public support if they do. 2. My last suggestion would be to consider a by-law such as Oshawa has, which would prohibit the sale of animals to research laboratories. I am very much in favor of medical research, but not with the use of live dogs for that research. This type of "live animal research" is no longer necessary with modern medical advancements which have occurred in the last 10 years. And live animal research conducted by cosmetic and other like companies is both unnecessary and inexcusable. To prevent this letter from turfing into a book, I'll end my comments on this by-law matter for now. In the future if this type of by-law is seriously considered by Council, I would be happy to expand on my comments at that time, in support of such a by-law. At the present time, with Animal Control under Municipal direction, and with the tremendous help and cooperation of Durham Animal Adoption, a by-law of this type is not yet necessary. If, however, Animal control is privatized, many of us who live in Clarington would demand such a by-law be implemented immediately. I hope Council will take my suggestions in the spirit in which they were offered -not as a condemnation of Municipal Animal control, but as suggestions which might help to convince you not to pri~~atize it.

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 heazd, followed by the supporters and the applicant. (a) Report PD-38-95 -The Municipality of Clarington -The purpose and effect of the proposed zoning amendment is to: i) amend permitted uses within Agricultural (A) zoned lands by deleting "Fairground" and replacing it with "Agricultural Fairground' ; and ii) add a new definition for "Agricultural Fairground" which would have the effect of prohibiting a stand alone music festival or concert save and except the lands owned by Mospot Pazk.

Minutes - 4 - PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D April 18, 1995 (b) Report PD-39-95 - 970973 Ontario Limited -The purpose and effect of the application is to permit the development of 123 residential units. Marc Battle, 25 Hunt Street, Bowmanvllle, LiC 2W8, thanked the applicant for working with the neighbourhood residents in order to address their concerns.

Carl Sleisser, 18 The Bridle Path, Bowmanville, L1C 3W1, noted that he moved from the city to enjoy the peace and tranquility and that this development is not necessary and questioned when it will all stop. Carolyn Charman, 2 Albert Street, Bowmanville, L1C 1G7, concurred with the comments made by the previous speaker and expressed concern pertaining to the additional traffic which she feels cannot be accommodated by the present street patterns and the standazds of the streets will have to be upgraded. _ No one spoke in support of this application. Rosemarie Humphries, Weston and Associates, 64 Jardin Drive, Unit 7, Concord, L4K 3P3, noted that the application involves 123 units which is 75% less dense than the original application made in 1993.

THAT Report No. ADMIN-15-95 be received; and 2. THAT Report CS-10-95 be lifted from the table and approved; and 3. THAT the Clarington Older Adult Association be advised of Council's decision. 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 At the April 3,1995 Committee meeting Report CS-10-95 was tabled and referred to the Chief Administrative Officer to be addressed at the same time as the report on the proposed Durham Region Non Profit Housing Proposll on Temperance Street. 1.2 At that meeting, various comments were made regarding the condition of the Fire/Court orated at such be incor t t l ddi i p o cos s t ona building, specifically the condition of the roof, and a time that the third floor and Probation Offices in the building are renovated, if and when the Provincial Court and Probation Services vacate the building. 2.0 ROOF CONDITION roof and report on its the existin t l l 2.1 g e ua tants to eva On April 13,1995 staff directed our consu condition. 2.2 Attachment #1 is provided identifying the results of the roof inspection. Generally, the roof is in good condition and with minimal preventative maintenance (approx. $2,000 to $2,500) the life expectancy of the existing roof membrane will be extended for approximately four to seven years. ;PF~~ ° ~ aE~.~,E REPORT ADMIN-15-95 - 2 - APRIL 24,1995 3.0 COURT ROOM RENOVATIONS 3.1 As previously reported, the third floor does have asbestos insulation which if removed at such time that renovations are required in that section of the building could cost approximately $25,000 to $30,000. 3.2 It should be noted that the asbestos insulation offers no health risk to the current tenants or the public, only by disturbing the existing insulation through renovations would the asbestos then have to be removed. 3.3 At such time that the third floor is vacated, consideration would be given to finding new tenants for the area in question. It would be staffs' intention to recommend tenants which would provide a service to enhance the building's use as an Older Adult Centre, negotiating a lease which could involve the tenants assuming responsibility to conduct any necessary renovations. 4.0 PROBATION OFFICES 4.1 The ground floor area currently occupied by the Probation offices does not require renovations to continue to be utilized as office space. 4.2 When the proposed renovations are complete, this area of the building may also be offered to the Clarington Older Adults. The intention is to offer this area to the seniors enabling that organization to generate revenue and also offer an enhanced service to the seniors. 4.3 It is anticipated that these offices would become the new home of Community Care which would provide revenue and further centralize seniors services. 5.0 REVISED BUDGET 5.1 As Council is aware, the initial estimate for this project was established at $350,000. Report CS-10-94 identifies a revised budget of $589,955, detailed as follows. EXPENSES Construction Costs - $525,000 Studies/L.egal - $ 4,055 Hydro - $ 7,350 Ai'chitectBngineering Fees - $ 47,300 GST - 4 250 TOTAL - $589,955 (ESTIMATED) FINANCING Infrastructure Grant - $233,333 Lot Levy Community Services - $116,667 Lot Levy Public Works - 239 995 TOTAL - $589,995 n ~ REPORT ADMIN-15-95 - 3 - APRIL 24,1995 5.2 It is not worthy to recognize that the financial scenario has no impact to the tax levy as the funding sources are recommended to utilize reserves and Federal/Provincial funds. 6.0 COMMENT 6.1 As members of Council are aware, the building renovations have been designed to accommodate a number of uses for the building. At such time that the seniors move to the Durham Non Profit building the Court Building could easily be utilized for use as an extension to the Seniors facility, a youth centre or other similar community uses.

Caruana Director of Community Services Re: Roof Condition Report Fire/Court Building Our File No. 94-C-0861 Dear Mr. Caruana: At your request I visited the site for the purpose of evaluating the condition of the existing roofing membrane. On April 13, Mr. Ralph Maurice of Bothwell Accurate Roofing and myself were on the roof. Our observations are as follows: 1. The building appears to have been re-roofed at some time since 1967. There is evidence that the flashings were removed and re-used; the perimeter of the roof has been flashed with a granulated cap sheet; and the roof top equipment curbs are smeared with asphalt bitumen. 2. The sloping roofs of the court room vestibule and the court room skylight have been re-roofed with a two ply modified bitumen roofing membrane. The use of this type of membrane suggests that the building may have been re-roofed in the past 8-12 years. 3. The roofing membrane and flashings are generally in good condition and require only routine maintenance which could be included in the scope of the proposed renovations. It is estimated that the cost to rectify the following list of deficiencies would be approximately $2,000. to $2500. This amount could be accommodated in the contingency allowance of the revised project construction budget of $525,000.00 to $575,000.00. 3.T Replace 100 square feet of modified bitumen cap sheet on the east sloping roof and repair some blisters in the cap sheet. ~/a ATTACI~IENT # 2 TO _ REPORT ADMIN-15-95 THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON REPORT Meeting: GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE File # ~ 1 c'1 Date: APRIL 3, 1995 Res. # s-~~PW -~s-4 " ~S _ - By-Law # Report #: CS-10-95 Fite #: Subject: PROPOSED OLDER ADULT CENTRE Recommendations: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following. . 1. THAT Report CS-10-95 be received; 2. THAT the preliminary floor plan (Attachment #2) be approved; 3. THAT the revised project budget be established at $589,955.00; 4. THAT the additional funds in the amount of $239,550.00 be accessed from the Public Works Lot Levy Account #5100-00036-0000; 5. THAT staff be authorized to proceed with the project and issue a tender call for the renovations to the former. Fire/Court building; and 6. THAT the Clarington Older Adult Association be advised of Council's decision. 1.0 BACKGROUND: 1.1 At the October 24, 1994 meeting, Council approved report CS-44-94 authorized staff to proceed with preliminary design of the Fire/Court building for the purpose of renovating the interior for use as an Older Adult Centre. 1.2 Since that time a number of meetings have taken place among staff, representatives of the Older Adults and the architects (Greer Galloway Architects and Engineers) with the intent of providing a list of building components, and a floor plan for the proposed Centre. 1.3 As a result of that process, a recommended list of components (Attachment #1) was reached and a preliminary floor plan (Attachment #2) was designed utilizing the area formerly occupied by the Fire Department. ../2 9~J I ~..E. ~ ~ a.~.~,E REPORT CS-10-95 - 2 - APRIL 3, 1995 1.4 Included as part of the consultants responsibilities was a requirement to perform a structural and mechanical examination of the building making recommendations as to the feasibility of renovating the former fire hall to provide a new Older Adult facility for the Municipality of Clarington. 2.0 STRUCTURA]UMECHANICAL EXAMINATION: 2.1 Numerous points were raised during this phase of the study and several recommendations related to this undertaking are summarized as follows: 2.1.1 There is an existing ground water problem which is contn'buting to the deterioration of the base of the foundation walls and should be rectified as part of the renovation work. 2.1.2 It is recommended that due to the age of the existing boiler, a new back-up boiler for the existing ground floor offices and second floor court facilities be installed. 2.13 The existing electrical service will have to be upgraded to an 800 amp. service and the existing transformer will have to be replaced with an exterior pad mounted transformer. 2.1.4 The existing fire alarm service must be upgraded and it is proposed that the Older Adult component have new heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems which are independent from the existing building systems. 2.2 Notwithstanding the various requirements to upgrade, the structure is sound and with careful planning should be able to accommodate the proposed renovations. (A complete copy of the consultant's report is on file in the Community Services Department and can be made available to Council upon request.) 3.0 BUDGET: 3.1 The original budget for this project, was estimated at $350,000.00 which was the amount used, when the Municipality made application for the CanadaJOntario Infrastructure program. 3.2 The results of the building evaluation and review of the building component requirements, dictates that we revisit our original budget submission and make necessary revisions. ../3 . ~ ,-, -2- 3.2 Re-caulk all parapet flashings and all flashing reglets. 3.3 Re-distribute gravel at perimeter roof edges. 3.4 Trim existing tree branches which overhang the roof. The sweeping motion of the branches is very hard on the roof membrane. 3.5 Minor repairs are required at transitions from sloped to flat roofs at skylights and stair towers. 3.6 Clean pine needle accumulation on roof in the vicinity of the existing roof drains. It is anticipated that completion of the remedial maintenance work will extend the life of the roofing membrane for approximately four to seven years. The opinions contained in this report are based on visual observations only. There was no destructive testing performed because the membrane was sound and there was no evidence of spongy, wet insulation. Flashings were not removed because the membrane condition could be observed. The opinions in this report are for the sole use of the Municipality of Clarington and should not be relied upon by any other party without the expressed written permission of Greer Galloway, Architects and Engineers. Trusting this is the information you require at this time. Yours very truly, GREEK GALLOWAY ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS C~ Royden oran, O.A.A.

H. Stockwell, C.A.O. Date: April 21st, 1995 Subject: Admin 14-95 - Older Adults Centre and Highway No. 2 Urbanization Work --------------------------------------------------------------- On November 28,1994, Council passed a resolution that approved the construction of an Older Adults Centre in conjunction with the proposed Durham Region Housing Authority's housing project in Bowmanville, on the proviso that an acceptable financial contribution by the Municipality, either by way of capital investment or long term lease, is agreed upon between the Housing Authority and the Municipality". Since that time, staff has been involved in lengthy negotiations in an attempt to carry out the direction of Council. We have now identified appropriate funding for this project that will not have an adverse effect on the municipal budget. The funding proposal is tied to the urbanization work to be done on Highway Two, in the area of the Markborough and Willsonia developments, as well as the planned CPR Underpass south of the Markborough site. As the proposed financial agreements are still being worked on by the municipal solicitor, we are not in a position to provide Council with a detailed report on this item at this time. We have requested approval to make a full presentation to Council at the meeting of April 24, 1995, at which dune we will provide Council with a detailed report on this proposal. W. H.
