2. LOCATON
2.1 The subject property has frontage on Regional Road no. 57 and Middle Road,
between Concession Road 3 and Concession Road 4. The property is further
described as being located in part Lots 13 and 14, Concession 3, former Township
of Darlington, and is municipally known as 3705 Regional Road 57 (see Attachment
No. 1).
3. BACKGROUND
3.1 The subject rezoning application was received April 2, 1998, together with
application for site plan approval. Through approval of the two applications the
applicant proposes to develop an 18-hole, par-3 golf course on the referenced
lands. The proponents had previously received zoning and site plan approval in
February 1998 to permit a driving range and miniature golf facility on the subject
lands.
3.2 The golf course proposal, unlike the driving range and miniature golf proposal, was
subject to an Official Plan Amendment, which Council considered and approved
June 1, 1998. The Region of Durham Planning Department, ailing as the Minister,
is currently processing final approval for the Official Plan Amendment.
3.3 In accordance with policies of the Clarington Official Plan, an Environmental
Impact Study (EIS) was undertaken prior to approval of either the rezoning or
Official Plan Amendment. The EIS was completed in two phases, and considered
the impact of development on the natural features identified on Map C of the
Clarington Official Plan, namely two tableland woodlots and the Lake Iroquois
Beach. At the conclusion of Phase I, it was determined that the driving range and
miniature golf component could proceed, subject to conditions, without negative
impact on the natural features identified on Map C. Phase II of the study was
concluded in April 1998, and the study findings were presented to the General
699039
REPORT NO.: PD-82-98

Purpose and Administration Committee in May 1998, together with a favourable
recommendation on the application for an Official Plan Amendment.
3.4 The public meeting for the rezoning application was held May 25, 1998. The
applicant was the only one to speak at the meeting. However, he also read a letter
from a neighbouring landowner in support of the application.

5. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
5.1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan the subject property is designated Major
Open Space. The predominant use of land within this designation shall be for
conservation, recreation, reforestation and agriculture and farm-related uses. The
establishment of a golf course in this designation requires an amendment to either
the Regional Plan or local Official Plan and be subject to certain policies.
5.2 Within the Clarington Official Plan the subject lands are designated Green Space on
Map A. Lands within the Green Space designation shall primarily be used for
conservation and alive or passive recreational uses. Golf courses are permitted to

REPORT NO.: PD-82-98
PAGE 4
develop by amendment to the Plan. Amendment No. 6 to the Clarington Plan was
approved by Council June 1, 1998 to permit the 18-hole, par-3 golf course.
5.3 Map C identifies the approximate location of known natural features and land
characteristics. Section 4.3.8 states "An Environmental Impact Study shall be
undertaken for development applications located within or adjacent to any natural
features identified on Map C". The subject lands are traversed by tableland
woodlots to the north and southeast corner, and located within the Lake Iroquois
Beach. An EIS, in accordance with Section 4.3.8 and the Council approved
guidelines, was completed. The application appears to conform.
6. AGENCY COMMENTS
6.1 The application was circulated to a limited number of agencies for comment. The
Fire Department advised they have no objection to the rezoning application.
6.2 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority staff were members of the Steering
Committee for the EIS . They have advised that they have no objection in principle
with the proposed rezoning application and request the recommendations
contained in the EIS be included in the site plan agreement executed between the
Municipality and Quarry Lakes.
6.3 The Clarington Public Works Department advised they have no objection to the
principle of the proposed development. However, they required the applicant's
engineer demonstrate that the concentrated storm flows originating from the
proposed small pond near the southern boundary of the site not adversely affect the
adjacent property to the south.

6.4 Regional Planning provided a co-ordinated response on behalf of the Regional
Works, Regional Health and themselves as follows:
i) Planning
The lands are designated "Major Open Space" in the Durham Region Official
Plan. Golf courses are permitted in this designation by amendment to the
Durham Plan or area municipal Official Plan, subject to certain provisions
such as protection of environmental features and compliance with Regional
private servicing standards. An amendment to the local Official Plan has
been approved by the Clarington Council, but is not final and binding. Any
zoning amendment approved cannot come into effect until the OPA has
been approved by the Region.
ii) Regional Health
Municipal services are not presently available to the subject property.
Private well and private waste disposal are the only feasible method of
servicing the site. The site conditions are suitable for private sewage
disposal, and a certificate of approval for a septic system was issued January
30, 1998. No objection to the present proposal.
iii) Regional Works
The property fronts on Regional Road 57, a Type A arterial, therefore a road
widening is to be dedicated. In addition, further review of the site plan
details will be reviewed through the site plan approval.
7. STAFF COMMENTS
7.1 The development site has been subject to an Environmental Impact Study
undertaken by the Municipality's consultant at the applicant's expense. Council has
considered and approved an Official Plan Amendment to permit the development
of an 18-hole, par-3 golf course. The current application, if approved, would
699042
REPORT NO.: PD-82-98
PAGE 6
rezone the property to permit the proposed golf course. Should the zoning
amendment be approved by Council prior to the Official Plan being finalized, it
could not come into effect until the Official Plan Amendment is approved by the
Region.
7.2 The issues of land use compatibility, conformity with Provincial Policy Statement
and Official Plan policies was considered through the Official Plan Amendment,
and the principle of the proposed golf course was considered acceptable.
7.3 The Environmental Impact Study provided a detailed review of the impact of the
proposed development on the natural environment. The study concludes that the
proposed development will have no measurable environmental impact and is
consistent with the Municipality's goal to protect, manage and enhance the natural
environment. furthermore, the report provides various recommendation to
minimize any possible impacts on the natural features. These recommendations
will be included in the Site Plan Agreement.
7.4 Staff walked the site, with the applicant to discuss design and zoning issues
associated with various holes. As a result of the site visit, the applicant agreed to
maintain a minimum 7.5 m setback from the tee-off areas of holes 12 and 13 to the
adjacent property line, and plant a double row of cedars along the property line in
this location. These two holes were of particular concern, due to the proximity of
the neighbouring house to the common property line.
7.5 In addition, prior to site plan approval, the applicant's engineer must satisfy Public
Works staff with regard to flows from the proposed pond near the southern
boundary of the property.
