DELEGATIONS CONT'D.
(c) Bill Humber, Old Bowmanville Neighbourhood Association,
re: Report WD-20-01
circulated a letter dated May 22, 2001 wherein he requested, on
behalf of the Old Bowmanville Neighbourhood Association,that
Council reject the expansion of parking facilities at 26 Beech
Avenue in the area south of the tennis courts at this time until a full
planning process has peen undertaken and that Council reject the
Beech Avenue/Lowe Street Storm Sewers project.
(d) Laurie Cook, re:
Report WD-20-01 thanked Members of Council for being allowed to
participate in the discussions pertaining to the Clarington Beech
Centre project and advised that he does not want to see any green
space lost and tax dollars spent until such time as this work has
been justified.
(e) Keith Swan, Friends of Bowmanville,
i re: Report WD-20-01 has been a resident of
Bowmanville for 47 years and, during this time, has seen majestic str, ' es
disappear. He would like to see the unique historical character of th, ;�a
preserved and suggested that further dialogue be established with otl per
municipalities to investigate other options on how to best resolve this issue.
(f/g) Annabelle Sissons, and Jean Broad,
advised that they are
members of the Clarington Older Adult Association and served on the first
Board of Directors whose goal it was to achieve a Seniors'Centre for the
residents of Clarington. Mrs. Sissons noted that as the membership and
community use continue to grow,the need for additional parking grows with
it and it is now time to"bite the bullet". Their documentation states that"to
assure the safety of older adults, frailer ones in particular, on site parking,
carefully managed by staff, is vital." Not only does the Clarington Older
Adult Association need readily accessible parking, but parking for tenants
and rental groups is essential to the economic sustainability of the
Clarington Beech Centre, and thus for the Association itself. They
expressed support for the recommendations contane, i Report WD-20-01.
(h) Sally Barrie, Administrator Home Support Program, Community Care,
26 Beech Avenue, Bowmanville, L1C 3A1 re: Report WD-20-01 circulated
documentation dated May 22, 2001 wherein she advised that Clarington
Community Care has the largest client and volunteer numbers and service
provision of all seven offices of the Durham Region Community Care
Association. She noted that adequate parking has and will continue to be a
concern for her agency because it is important to have safe, convenient
and, at times, accessible parking for clients and volunteers. Presently,
Community Care has 1886 registered clients and 536 volunteers on file.
She noted that her organization shares in the concern for adequate parking
at the Clarington Beech Centre.
(i) Kerri Houston, Bowmanville Nursery School, 26 Beech Avenue,
Bowmanville, UC 3A2 re: Report WD-20-01 advised that she is a
supervisor at the Bowmanville Nursery School which rents offices from the
Clarington Beech Centre and where 48 children attend Nursery School. She
noted that there is a definite need for additional parking at this facility.

DELEGATIONS CONT'D.
(j) Kevin Anyan, re: Report
WD-20-01 circulated a letter dated May 22, 2001 wherein he noted that his
catering company caters over 80 functions a year at the Clarington Beech
Centre. Although he believes in preserving and enhancing green space, he
finds that the need for parking is an ongoing concern at this facility. In the
past, his vans have been "boxed in"and have sometimes been damaged by
people who have tried to maneuver their cars around them. To complicate
this problem, the loading area overlaps with the Daycare Centre entrance
way and he is concerned for the safety of the children in this area.
i
(k) John Coffey, Older Clarington Adults Association, 26 Beech Avenue,
Bowmanville, L1 C 3A1 re: Report W D-20-01 expressed support for the
recommendations contained in Report WD-20-01 and described the various
activities taking place at the Clarington Beech Centre which are offered to
numerous groups. Mr. Coffey advised that, since the Centre has opened,
the membership has doubled. There are presently 440 members and the
projection is that this will increase to 625 in 2003/2004. He noted, there is a
definite lack of parking and hopes that this situation will be resolved before
September, 2001.
i
(1) Don Welsh, President, Older Clarington Adults Association, 26 Beech
Avenue, Bowmanville, L1 C 3A1 circulated a letter dated May 22, 2001
wherein he advised that, because of the age of the members, alternatives
such as off site parking make no sense. He requested that Members of
Committee support the recommendations in Report WD-20-01 which would
give an additional 40 parking spaces on the site. He also noted that safety
at the Clarington Beech Centre is a major concern and that, if cars park
illegally on the street, emergency vehicles will not be able to enter. A survey
was conducted among the members and over 97% indicated that parking
was a problem.
(m) Jack Eilbeck,Treasurer, Older Clarington Adults Association, 26 Beech
Avenue, Bowmanville, L1 C 3A1 re: Report WD-20-01 endorsed the
comments made by the Older Clarington Adults Association and advised
that he would rate the facilities and programs offered by the Clarington
Beech Centre among the top in the Province of Ontario. He feels that
parking is a major problem which should be given serious consideration by
Members of the Committee.
(n) Dan Strike, Strike Salmers & Furlong, 38 King Street W,
Bowmanville, L1 C 3K8 circulated a letter dated May 22, 2001 wherein he
requested clarification of the recommendations contained in Report
TR-27-01. He suggested that a lawyer, as agent for the tax payer, should
be able to get whatever information the municipality is willing to give to the
taxpayer and that, charging for this information, is "fundamentally wrong".
He stated that"the assumption that a no verbal policy will increase the
number of tax certificates is flawed". He requested that the report be
amended to allow the current policy of releasing tax information at no
charge to taxpayers or their lawyers over the phone regarding their own
properties, to continue.
(o) D. G. Biddle, P. Eng., D. G. Biddle & Associates Limited,
96 King Street E. Oshawa, L1 H 1 B6 advised prior to the meeting that
they would not be in attendance.

Recommendations:
It is res ectf ill
p y recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-053-01 be received;
2. THAT the amendment to Sign By-law No. 97-157 as contained in Attachment No. 1 to
this report, be APPROVED; and
3. THAT all interested parties listed in this report and any delegations be advised of
Councils decision.
1. BACKGROUND
On April 30"', Clarington Council authorized the Planning Department to place notice in
local newspapers of Council's intention to amend Sign Bylaw 97-157. In accordance
with Section 207 (146) of the Municipal Act, notice was placed in the Canadian
Statesman and the Orono Times on May 16, 2001. Subsequent notice appeared in the
May 30"' issues of these papers.
i
2. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE SIGN BY-LAW
In a recent review of the Municipality's Sign By-law, it was found that application fees,
which were originally established at a very low rate, needed to be revised. It was also
found that temporary signs for which permits had been issued, were not being removed in
accordance with the provisions of the By-law. The number of temporary signs any
I
601
i
i
REPORT NO.: PD-053-01 PAGE 2
business may apply for within a year has also been examined. Other items were
reviewed including the provision that allows the Ministry of Transportation to have
jurisdiction with respect to signage along their highway corridors, and for consistency, a
small revision to one of the categories on a regulation tables is proposed. The proposed
amendment to the By-law is included as Attachment 1 to this report. The following
provides a brief explanation of the changes proposed to the Sign By-law.
2.1 Review of Application Fees and Removal Security Deposit
2.1.1 The Planning Department recently undertook a review all of the Department's application
fees that can be collected under the Planning Act which resulted in an increase in all fees
including an annual fee increase for the next three years. The fees associated with the
Sign Jay-law are collected under the requirements of the Municipal Act and are
incorporated within the text of the Sign By-law and as such were not included within th-
i
recently approved fee schedule.
I
2.1.2 The fees for a sign permit were minimal, being $10.00 for a temporary sign and $25.00
for a permanent sign to a maximum permit fee of$100.00. These fees do not reflect the
amount of staff time involved in processing applications, but were established at this
deflated value in the hope that the application fee was not identified as a barrier to
applicants. A review of other municipalities identified that Clarington's sign permit fees
are the lowest (see Attachment 2). It is time now to increase the fees and to streamline
I
the fee schedule. Since Staff have found that there is no difference between the amount
of time spend reviewing applications for temporary or permanent sign permits, it is
i
recommended that there be one fee. The maximum permit fee has also been eliminated as
this was rarely used. As with other Planning Department fees, these fees have also been
indexed over a three year period.
I
2.1.3 New to the fee structure is the Removal Security Deposit. This deposit applies only to
temporary signs. The Municipality has found that in more cases than not, temporary signs
602
i
I
REPORT NO.: PD-053-01 PAGE 3
I
have not been removed. It is anticipated that this deposit will help to ensure that
temporary signs are removed in accordance with the provisions of the By-law by the
applicant/owner. The deposit is $250.00, and is to be paid upon receipt of a sign permit
application. The proposed deposit will be returned in full to the payee upon proof that the
temporary sign has been removed in accordance with the provisions of the By-law. The
Treasury Department has been consulted on this issue and has agreed to, and established
an account, to administer the Removal Security Deposit.
2.1.4 Lastly, the fee schedule has been removed from the text of the By-law and attached as
I
I
Schedule 2 to the By-law enabling future fee amendments to have no impact on the
structure and text of the By-law.
I
2.2 Temporary Signs
2.2.1 These signs are temporary in nature and are permitted for 60 days at a time. Mobile signs
are only permitted as temporary signs in accordance with Section 4.3 of the Sign By-law.
The proposed amendment includes adding the word "temporary" to the definition of
mobile sign (Section 2 of the Sign By-law), ensuring that the By-law is clear in that a
mobile sign is only permitted as a temporary sign.
i
I
2.2.2 The amendment also proposes reducing the number of temporary signs a business may
have in one year from 4 to 3 signs. The intent of temporary signs p ry is to provide businesses
with the opportunity to advertise a special activity or event such as announcing the
opening of a new business, or a special promotion event such as an anniversary sale.
Four permitted temporary signs within a year was felt to be too many for any one
business.
i
2.3 Reinoval ofMinistry of Transportation Jurisdiction
I
The Ministry of Transportation has the right to issue sign permits within their highway
corridors. Currently the By-law states that where the Ministry of Transportation has
jurisdiction, the Municipality's By-law is silent. The Ministry of Transportation supports
603
i
I
REPORT NO.: PD-053-01 PAGE 4
the amendment to remove this provision. Clarington is the only municipality in the GTA
i
where the Ministry of Transportation has retained jurisdiction over sign permitting within
their corridors. It is important to note that highway directional and safety signs are not
affected by this change. The Ministry of Transportation will retain their ability to place
these signs where warranted.
2.4 Administration
2.4.1 A number of changes have been made to the Section 5 (Administration) of the By-law.
Many of these changes provide appropriate wording to incorporate changes necessary to
implement the Removal Security Deposit. Other changes to this section include those
necessary to move the fee schedule from the text of the By-law.
I
2.4.2 One other change to the Administration Section included removing the exemption
provided to Community S_rvice Signs from submitting a sign permit. A Community
Service Sign is a temporary sign announcing a community function event sponsored by a
non-profit organization. These types of signs are currently exempt from paying any sign
permit fees and this provision has not been changed. However, when charitable events
were enquiring about signage, they were asked to provide information as to the proposed
location of the signage to ensure that the signs did not pose any safety hazards to
pedestrians or vehicles. This information is equivilant to the information required for a
sign permit. It is proposed that the By-law be revised to remove this exemption,
requiring that a permit be submitted for Community Service Signs.
3. PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS
3.1 There have been no verbal or written submissions or inquiries regarding proposed
amendment with the exception of the Ministry of Transportation. The Ministry has no
objections.

AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF APPROVAL NO. H150022900500-03
SUBMITTED BY ATLANTIC PACKAGING PRODUCTS LTD. AND
COURTICE AUTO WRECKERS LTD
FILE: PLN 33.12
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-055-01 be received;
2. THAT the Ministry of the Environment be requested not to approve the Amendment to
Certificate of Approval No. H150022900500-03 submitted by Atlantic Packaging Products
Ltd. And Courtice Auto Wreckers Ltd. for a Soil Enrichment Program, as '
gr rt is premature
until the Region of Durham's peer review of the Benefits Study and the Bioaerosol Study
of Paper Fibre Sludge and "Sound Sorb" have been completed, and the Municipality has
had an opportunity to determine whether a hearing is required under the Environmental
Proetection Acts;
i
3. THAT, in the event that the Municipality is not willing to wait for the results of the above
studies, that a hearing under the Environmental Protection Act be held; and
4. THAT a copy of Report PD-055-01 be forwarded to the Ministry of the Environment, the
Region of Durham, the City of Oshawa and the Township of Scugog.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 Atlantic Packaging Products Ltd. And Courtice Auto Wreckers Ltd. submitted an application
to the Ministry of the Environment for an amendment to their Certificate of Approval. The
application proposes to renew the subject for the use of paper fibre biosolids (paper sludge)
in a soil enrichment program.
610
REPORT PD-055-01 PAGE 2
i
1.2 The current Certificate of Approval expired on March 31, 2001. The applicants have made
the following requested amendments to the Certificate:
I
• To renew the Certificate for an indefinite period so that there is no expiry date;
• To allow paper sludge to be stored at individual farms for up to 9 months;
• To increase the permissible application rate to 100 tonnes (wet weight) per hectare per
year;
• To permit paper sludge to be applied to the surface of soil without incorporation;
• To delete various requirements for further studies.
1.3 Under the 1999 Certificate, Atlantic Packaging Ltd. And Courtice Auto Wreckers were
required to submit a Benefits Study that examines the soil/agronomic benefits and/or
detriments resulting from the application of paper sludge. The Benefits Study was
completed in April of 1999 and submitted to the Ministry of the Environment in January of
2001. It was forwarded to the Region and area municipalities in February with a request for
comments by March 2, 2001. We advised the Ministry of the Environment that the
Municipality would comment on the Benefits Study subsequent to the Region's peer review.
A draft of the peer review is anticipated in mid June.
1.4 The Ministry of the Environment, in conjunction with the Region of Durham Health
Department, is undertaking a study of the health effects of bioaerosols resulting from the
manufacturing and use of"Sound Sorb", the storage of paper sludge and the land application
of paper sludge under the soil enrichment program. The Municipality is represented on the
Steering Committee. The Committee is currently in the process of finalizing Terms of
Reference to study bioaerosols related to paper sludge and any health effects.
1.5 Ground water sampling has been undertaken around the sites where Sound Sorb is being
manufactured. The results of the ground water monitoring have not been released to the
Municipality.
2. CONCLUSION
i
The above studies will identify whether there is a tangible benefit for the use of paper sludge
as a soil enrichment agent and whether there are health effects resulting from its use. It is
i
therefore premature for the Ministry of the Environment to consider renewal of this Certificate
611
i
REPORT PD-055-01 PAGE 3
of Approval until these studies are completed. The studies will assist in determining whether
I
a hearing is necessary under the Environmental Protection Act. However, in the event that the
i
Ministry will not wait for these studies to be completed, it is recommended that a hearing be
held due to the high public concern and insufficient information available to Regional onal and II
g �
Municipal Staff.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
i
1.1 Background
ii
Atlantic Packaging Products Ltd. (Atlantic) operates two paper recycling mills located at 111
Progress Avenue in Scarborough and at 1900 Thickson Road South in Whitby. The plants utilize
recycled paper products, including coated book paper, office paper, magazines, newspapers and
corrugated cardboard as feedstock to produce a variety of paper products including tissue,
newsprint, paper towels and cardboard.
i
Processing of used paper products results in a number of by-products, including paper fibres which
are too short to be manufactured into new paper products. These short fibres are captured in the
mills' process water systems, processed in the mill's water treatment plant, and dewatered. The
resulting paper fib:,: biosolids (PFBs) consisting of short paper fibres, koalinite clay and remaining
water are authorised for utilization on agricultural lands under Ministry of Environment Provisional
Certificate of Approval for an Organic Waste Management System No. H150022900500-03. issued
on March 4, 1999.
—'i he Atlantic Packaging Products Ltd. Soil Enrichment Program has been authorized to apply PFBs
to farm sites inspected and approved by the Ministry as suitable. All applications must comply with
the MOE Guidelines for the Utilization of Biosolids and other Wastes on Agricultural Land(March
1996) and the specific conditions of Provisional Certificate of Approval No. H150022900500-03.
Since the inception of the Soil Enrichment Program in 1991, over 400 farm sites have been
approved to receive PFBs.
Paper fibre biosolids have been applied to farm land as a solid product using side and rear discharge
agricultural manure spreading equipment and high floatation trucks at a maximum rate of 30 tonnes j
per hectare (wet weight). Hauling and spreading operations are undertaken by Courtice Auto
Wreckers Limited.
The current Certificate of Approval expires on March 31, 2001 (January 2001 Amendment) unless
further amended. Since Atlantic Packaging Products Ltd. and Courtice Auto Wreckers Limited
wish to continue the Soil Enrichment Program, this application is being submitted to renew and
amend Provisional Certificate of Approval No. H150022900500-03.

Courtice Auto Wreckers Limited operates a fleet of tractors and trailers to deliver the PFBs from
I,
the mills to the farm sites. Courtice also utilizes a number of loaders, tractors and side and rear
discharge spreaders to apply the PFBs to fields in a uniform and consistent manner. A list of
equipment used in the Soil Enrichment Program as of the date of this application is provided in
Appendix A. The fleet is upgraded and expanded as required to ensure that it remains efficient and
reliable.
i
All vehicles used in the Program are marked in accordance with Condition 2 of the current
Certificate.
3.2 Storage
I
- The Applicants propose that Condition 35 be amended to allow storage at individual farm sites for
a maximum period of nine months. This amendment is necessary since the PFBs output from the _
mills is at a steady-r-ate year round, requiring delivery to farm sites throughout the year in order to
supply sufficient quantities to co-ordinate with the short farm cropping schedules.
3.3 Application Rate
The Final Report of the Atlantic Benefit Study indicated various soil and crop benefits from rates
up to 150 tonnes (wet weight) per hectare of PFBs, depending on target crop, farming practice
(no-till or conventional till)and soil type. Specifically,1? y,a rate up to 50 tonnes(w/w) per hectare was
recommended as beneficial for cereal and legume crops under normal farming practices.
i
Based on the findings of the Benefits Study, the Applicants propose that a rate of up to 100 tonnes
(wet weight)of PFBs per hectare per cropping year be applied with discretion as required.
3.4 Supplementary Nitrogen
The current Certificate (Condition 33) requires that a minimum of 2.4 kg of supplemental nitrogen
per tonne of biosolids be applied together with the biosolids, and be incorporated within seven days
of application. The findings of the Benefits Study show that fall applications of supplementary
nitrogen is not beneficial and appropriate spring application is dependent on the existing nitrogen
level and the intended crop. Therefore, the Applicants propose that 2-2.9 kg. of supplementary

nitrogen per tonne of PFBs be mad:: -vailable to the farm operator to be utilized at his discretion
according to his particular soil, crop and farming practices requirements.
I
3.5 Incorporation of PFBs
Currently, Condition 33 requires that the PFBs and the supplementary pp ary nitrogen be incorporated into
the soil within seven days of application. Since two important benefits of PFBs are soil moisture
retention and erosion prevention, surface application without incorporation is desirable in some
instances. The Applicants propose that surface or incorporated application should be at the
discretion of the farm operator after assessment of the desired benefits of the particular site.
3.6 Benefits of PFBs Utilization
f
The Applicants believe that the Final Report of the Benefit Study has conclusively shown the
benefits of utilizing PFBs on agricultural lands and that further studies are not necessary. The j
Applicants request the removal of Conditions 17, 18, and 43 through 46 of the existing Certificate.
3.7 Public Information '
In view of the availability of information in the form of the Benefit Study Report and Annual
Reports of the Program's operations for public access, the Applicar.:s request the removal of
Condition 50 of the current Certificate.

Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-056-01 be received; and
2. THAT Council concur with decisions of the Committee of Adjustment made on May 24,
2001 for applications A2001/005, A2001/024, A2001/026, A2001/028, A2001/030 &
A2001/031, and that Staff be authorized to appear before the Ontario Municipal Board to
defend the decisions of the Committee of Adjustment.
i
1. All applications received by the Municipality for minor variance are scheduled to be heard
within 30 days of being received by the Secretary-Treasurer. The purpose of the minor
variance applications and the Committee's decisions are detailed in Attachment 1. The
decision of the Committee are detailed below:

REPORT PD-056-01 PAGE 2
2. Application A2001/024 was approved by the Committee of Adjustment, reducing the
required 1.2 metre rear yard setback to 0.61 metres and the required side yard setback to 0.9
metres for an accessory building (shed). The shed, constructed by the applicant in the fall of
2000, has a 0.61 metre rear yard setb,__!c and a 0.15 metre side yard setback. The applicant
was seeking to have the existing setbacks recognized. The staff report recommended the
applicant be given sixty (60) days to move the accessory building to a 0.9 metre setback.
Given the length of time the accessory building (shed) has been there the Committee
approved a thirty (30) day timeframe for the applicant to move the shed in accordance with
the minor variance decision. Staff has no objection to this decision as it is in keeping with
Staff's recommendation to move the shed as expeditiously as possible.
3. Application A2001/030 received approval from the Committee of Adjustment for a
maximum area for all accessory buildings of 65% of the minimum floor area requirement of
the zone. The application was for an accessory building 162% of the minimum floor area
requirement of the zone. The staff report recommended an increase to 55%. The applicant
I
explained to Committee that he had already bought the building, although not constructed it
yet, and that he required this size of storage building for his personal vehicles and
i
equipment. He also explained to Committee that he has no intention of using the accessory
building for commercial purposes. Based on the above information Committee felt that an
increase from 40% to 65% was minor in nature.
i
4. Application A2001/027 was withdrawn b the applicant,
Y prior to the meeting, as discussion
with Staff and the applicant showed that with a small adjustment in the applicant's proposed
location for an in-ground pool a minor variance would not be required.
5. Application A2001/029 was withdrawn b the applicant,
Y prior to the meeting, as further
review by Staff indicated the variance for a second riding arena at an existing riding and
boarding stable was not required.

REPORT PD-056-01 PAGE 3
6. Staff has reviewed the Committee's decisions and is satisfied that the applications that
received approval are in conformity with the Official Plan policies, consistent with the intent
of the Zoning By-law and are minor in nature and desirable. Council's concurrence with the
Committee of Adjustment decisions is required in order to afford Staff's official status
before the Ontario Municipal Board in the event of an appeal of any decision of the
Committee of Adjustment.

1. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
1.1 On February 21, 2001 the General Purpose and Administration Committee approved the
recommendations contained in PD-19-01, approving the Terms of Reference for the
Westside and Bowmanville Marshes Management Plan study. Committee also
authorized Staff to draw on funds in a reserve account (5001-12-X) to pay the invoices
from the Central Lake Ontario Conservation for costs associated with the study.
6.;0
REPORT NO.: PD-057-01 PAGE 2
Report PD-19-01 indicated that services of professional consultants were required to fill
I
in information gaps related to natural heritage and to facilitate the public participation
component of the study.
1.2 The purpose of this report is to:
I
• Seek Council's approval to retain Niblett Environmental Associates Inc. to
undertake the natural heritage component of the study;
• Advise Council that Sally Leppard of LURA Consulting has been retained to
conduct three public participation workshops associated with the study; and
• Advise Council of an administrative change associated with invoicing for the
costs incurred throughout the study.
i
2. DISCUSSION
2.1 Natural Heritage Consultant f
There are gaps in the natural heritage information related to the Westside and
I
Bowmanville Marshes. In order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the natural
heritage and make recommendations for future enhancements, the services of a
professional consulting firm is required.
Staff from the Municipality of Clarington and Central Lake Ontario Conservation
prepared Terms of Reference specifically for the natural heritage component of the
Management Plan. Staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) using the roster of
consultants approved by Council for Environmental Impact Studies. Since Council
approved the roster of Consultants, normal tendering process was not followed for this
project.

Associates
* An additional 5%Administration charge was shown on proposal,increasing total cost to$85,493.00
Planning and Authority Staff reviewed each proposal in detail and determined that all the
consulting firms are qualified to undertake the task as identified in the Terms of
i
Reference. However, the
proposal submitted by Niblett Environmental Associates
demonstrated that the firm can undertake the tasks at the most reasonable cost.
Should Council endorse staffs recommendations to retain Niblett Environmental
Associates, the attached by-law authorizes the Mayor and Clerk to execute a contractual
agreement with Niblett Environmental Associates. (see Attachmentl)
i
i
2.2 Facilitator
A neutral third party facilitator, Ms. Sally Leppard of LURA Consulting, has been
retained to conduct three workshops and advise Staff on matters related to the public
participation process. Ms. Leppard has been retained for $12, 900.00 (excluding GST).
According to By-law 94-129, approval from Council is not required, nor is a formal
contract. In keeping with departmental procedures, however, a contract for services will
be executed between Ms. Leppard and the Director of Planning and Development.
3. INVOICING FOR SERVICES
The Principles of Understanding between the Municipality of Clarington and Blue Circle
Canada Inc, requires the Municipality and CLOC to undertake this study. The Authority
is required to invoice the Municipality for works associated with the study. To simplify
632
REPORT NO.: PD-057-01 PAGE 4
the accounting process, Planning and Authority Staff have agreed that the Municipality
pay the consultants directly rather than pay the Authority who, in turn, will have to
invoice the Municipality. Both parties agree that the intent of the Principle of
Understanding is still maintained through this modified procedure. (see Attachment 2)
4. RECOMMENDATIONS
The preparation of the Management Plan requires a professional consulting firm
specializing in natural heritage features. Central Lake Ontario Conservation has requested
that the Municipality retain the consultants directly for ease of administration. Staff
recommend that the consulting firm of Niblett Environmental Associates be retained to
i
undertake the task for the cost of $36,573.00 (including GST) and that the Mayor and
Clerk be authorized to execute the contract for services on behalf of the Municipality of
Clarington.
i
The Treasurer has reviewed this report and concurs with the recommendation.

Dear Madam:
Subject: Invoicing for Services - Principles of Understanding
Bowmanville -Westside Management Plan
CLOCA File: LBHG2
Under the Terms of the Principles of Understanding the Authority is to invoice the municipality for
expenses related to `study costs' for the development of the Bowmanville- Westside Management
Plan. Under this scenario, the Municipality would use its donated funds pLimarily towards the
development of the Management Plan, as invoiced by CLOCA. Whereas, the donated funds held by
the Conservation Authority's Foundation will be used primarily towards actual plan implementation
measures.
The study facilitation and the environmental investigation of the study area (both Management Plan
Items) have been contracted to private consultants. Consequently, there seems little benefit in I
having the Authority act as a go-between. It can be a much simpler accounting process to have
the Municipality provide direct contract administration in this instance. The intent of the
Principles of Understanding is still maintained, but some of the un-necessary paperwork can be
circumvented, through this modified procedure.
I trust this clarifies the recommendation for direct Municipal administration of these two consulting
contracts. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the undersigned.
Yours ly,

Subject: ONTARIO HERITAGE FOUNDATION
HERITAGE COMMUNITY
RECOGNITION PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-058-01 be received;
2. THAT the Ontario Heritage Foundation be advised that the Council of the Municipality
of Clarington nominates Ms. Phyllis Dewell, Ms Helen Schmid and Mr. Frank Lockhart
for recognition under the Heritage Community Recognition Program for their significant
contributions to built, cultural and natural heritage respectfully, in the Municipality of
Clarington; and
3. THAT Ms. Phyllis Dewell, Ms. Helen Schmid, Mr. Frank Lockhart and the Ontario
Heritage Foundation are advised of Council's decision.
1. BACKGROUND
i
i
On May 14, 2001 Council received correspondence from Mr. Allan Gotlieb, Chair of the
Ontario Heritage Foundation, inviting the Municipality to participate in the Foundation's
Heritage Community Recognition Program 2001. This program provides the municipality
with an opportunity to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to
local heritage preservation. Councils may submit up to three nominations, one in each of the
following areas: built, cultural and natural heritage.
The correspondence was referred to the Planning and Development Department to take
appropriate action in nominating qualified individuals for each category. This report will
recommend three individuals for the Foundation's Heritage Community Recognition
Program.
637
REPORT PD-058-01 PAGE 2
2• RECOMMENDED NOMINATIONS
Using the qualifications for selection of nominees provided by the Ontario Heritage
Foundation, staff consulted with various groups and individuals prior to making these
recommendations.
2.1 Built Heritage
Staff recommend that Ms. Phyllis Dewell be nominated for significant accomplishments in
built heritage preservation.
Ms. Dewell became a member of the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory
Committee (LACAC) in 1984. She assumed the position of Chair in 1988 and held that
position until she resigned in 1994. During her time as a member of the LACAC she made
the compilation of an inventory of all the heritage buildings within the Municipality a top i
priority. A consultant was hired to inventory the buildings within Darlington Township and j
Bowmanville. She herself, with the assistance of the LACAC members, inventoried the
i
buildings within Clarke Township. Once the inventory was completed for Darlington
Township she edited and formatted the consultant's research and compiled it into a book
i
called Heritage Buildings, Darlington Township. She then researched the significant
buildings within Clarke Township and wrote the text for a second book, Heritage
Buildings, Clarke Township. Although no longer a member of the LACAC, she still is a
strong advocate of the preservation of Clarington's built heritage.
At the May 15, 2001 meeting of the LACAC, the Committee passed a motion to
recommend that Ms. Dewell be nominated for the significant contribution she has made to
built heritage in Clarington.
2.2 Cultural Heritage
Staff recommend that Ms. Helen Schmid be nominated for significant accomplishments in
culture heritage preservation.
638
REPORT PD-058-01 PAGE 3
Ms. Schmid is a founding member of the Clarke Museum and Archives. She has an
extensive collection of historical information of the former Township of Clarke. Ms.
Schmid shares her knowledge of information through talks to historical societies and
literary writings, including a book she co-authored titled "Out of the Mists A History of
Clarke Township". Ms. Schmid also has in interest in the history of local industry and
commerce, including the Dominion Organ and Piano Company, and the Bowmanville
Foundry. Ms. Schmid is an active member of the Clarke Museum and Archives, the
Bowmanville Museum and the Newcastle and District Historical Society.
Staff consulted the curators from the Bowmanville Museum and Clarke Museum and
Archives and both agree that Ms. Schmid has made a significant contribution to cultural
heritage in Clarington.
2.3 Natural Heritage
Staff recommends that Mr. Frank Lockhart be nominated for significant accomplishments
to natural heritage preservation.
l

Report#: TR-39-01 FILE #: By-law #
Subject: ACCEPTANCE OF CONTRACTS AND QUOTATIONS
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1 THAT Report TR-39-01 be received;
2. THAT the Chief Administrative Officer and The Director of Corporate Services or
the Director of Finance or their designates be authorized to accept the lowest
qualified tender or quotation meeting all terms, conditions and specifications as
required by the Municipality during holiday periods for the term of Council;
3. THAT the Mayor and Clerk subject to recommendation #2 above, be authorized to
execute the necessary contracts or agreements; and
4. THAT an information report and any applicable By-laws be presented at the first
G.P.A. Committee meeting following holiday periods summarizing the tender or
quotations that have been awarded.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
During holiday periods, there may be occasion where tenders or quotations (budgeted

contained in this report.
For efficiency purposes, it is recommended that this procedure be implemented for the
term of Council. This procedure is consistent with the previous term of Council.
In some cases, the low bidder may not be the most qualified with respect to references or
quality of product offered and in these cases, the most appropriate low bid would be
selected.
917
REPORT No.: TR-39-01 PAGE 2
For the information of Council, staff have confirmed with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs
that establishing this procedure is within Council's authority.
Also, for the Council's information, Schedule "A" attached details which tenders are
tentatively scheduled for closing and/or awarding during the summer recess.
Should Council not wish these tenders to be awarded under the proposed method for the
summer Council break, they may alternatively schedule a special Council meeting.

Meeting: General Purpose and Administration Committee

Report #: TR-42-01 File#: Res.#:
Subject: RESPONSE TO ELECTIVE CONTRIBUTION By-Law#:
TO HOSPITAL FUNDING REQUEST
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following, FORTHWITH:
1. THAT Report TR-42-01 be received; and
2. THAT Region of Durham be advised that the Municipality of Clarington does not
support the elective funding request for hospital support.
Background:
1.0 The Municipality of Clarington Council received a request from the Region of Durham
(Attachment#1), to have local municipalities consider an elective funding proposal to
support hospitals.
2.0 The administrative burden would b6 significant and combined with the massive changes
in tax and assessment procedures and the problems associated with the prescribed tax
bill, lead to the conclusion that the request is not recommended.
3.0 In addition, as expressed by a number of Council Members, the initiation of this program
may ultimately lead to the introduction of hospital funding-support through the property
tax bill.
4.0 Hospital funding has been a Provincial responsibility and in light of the potential for
health standards to be dependent on assessment wealth, any support on the realty tax
bill is not recommended.
5.0 The proposal put forward setting a 1% target may affect contributions negatively if the
sponsor was inclined to give an amount greater than 1% of the property tax bill.

Addendum to
Report#: PD-029-01 FILE#: CG 1.1 By-law#
Subject: MUNICIPAL POLICY FOR TEMPORARY CROSSING GUARDS
FILE: CG 1.1
I
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1• THAT Addendum to Report PD-029-01 be received;
i
2. THAT Report PD-029-01 be received for information;
i
3. That further to Resolution GPA-435-00, the Policy on Temporary Adult Crossing Guards
as per Attachment#2 be approved; and
4. That the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, the Peterborough Northumberland
Victoria Clarington Catholic District School Board, the Oshawa and Area Home Builders
and the Durham Region Chapter of the Urban Development Institute be so advised.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 Report PD-029-01 (Attachment 1) was considered by Committee on March 26, 2001 and
referred back to staff for incorporation of measures that would provide for cost recovery
from the development industry for the Municipality's expenses in providing a Temporary
Adult Crossing Guard,
1.2 As noted in Report PD-029-01, the situations vary so greatly in plans of subdivision it is
difficult to develop a numeric criteria or set of conditions that could be utilized to define
when a Temporary Adult Crossing Guard would be deployed. The original deployment
of the Temporary Adult Crossing Guard for the Newcastle Public School was due to the
i
reconstruction of the school, even though there were no changes in the neighbourhood at
the time.
REPORT NO.: Addendum to PD-029-01 PAGE 2
1.3 When a Temporary Adult Crossing Guard is required due to a Regional, Municipal or
School Board project, it is reasonable that the Municipality would cover the cost. Only in
those situations where the development of registered plan of subdivision is the cause of
the traffic problem that requires a Temporary Adult Crossing Guard should developer be
expected to compensate the Municipality for the costs. It is anticipated that there will be
few such situations arise.
i
1.4 The mechanism to arrange for cost-recovery is the subdivision agreement. Given that it
is not possible to anticipate if a problem will arise at the time that the Municipality enters
into a subdivision agreement, it is recommended that this be a standard clause in every
agreement. The following clause would be inserted into all future subdivision
agreements:
I
"The Owner acknowledges and agrees where the Director of Planning and Development
and Director of Public Works determines an Adult Crossing Guard is required due to j
safety concerns for children crossing a street where such safety concerns are attributed to
vehicular traffic from construction activity or altered traffic patterns due to construction
activity, the Owner will reimburse the Municipality the costs attributed to the j
Municipality's placement of an Adult Crossing Guard on a temporary basis.
Furthermore, the Owner acknowledges and agrees the length of time that the Temporary
Adult Crossing Guard is required is at the sole discretion of the Director of Planning and
Development and the Director of Public Works."
I
1.5 The proposed Policy on Temporary Adult Crossing Guards is Attachment 2 to this
Addendum Report. It incorporates the element of cost-recovery for private development
projects.
1.6 For Council's information, the Temporary Adult Crossing Guard at Robert and Beaver
Streets will terminate with the end of the school term in June and will not be renewed.
The Temporary Adult Crossing Guard has been in this location for approximately four
years. To provide some guidelines for the future, the proposed policy indicates that a
Temporary Adult Crossing Guard would generally be limited to a 10 month period.
1102
REPORT NO.: Addendum to PD-029-01

Temporary Adult Crossing Guard would generally be limited to a 10 month
It also proposes that the respective School Board and Pare peri od.

Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended to Council the following:
1. THAT Report.PD-029-01 be received;
2. THAT further to Resolution GPA-435-00 that Temporary Adult Crossing Guards be
utilized only where there is a clearly identifiable increase in danger for children crossing

of Report PD-029-01; and
3. THAT all interested parties listed in this report and any delegation be advised of
Council's decision.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 In 1997, Council received a petition from parents for placing an Adult Crossing Guard at
the corner of Beaver and Robert Streets in Newcastle Village. This was at the time of the
demolition and reconstruction of the Newcastle Public School. Staff and Council
supported this request, on a temporary basis, due to the volume of parental vehicular
traffic and construction traffic in this location.

In September 2000, staff relocated this Crossing Guard to the intersection of Beaver and
Edward Streets on a permanent basis. Several parents requested that Council restore a
Crossing Guard at the other location at Beaver and Robert Streets. On October 16, 2000,
Council approved an extension of the temporary Crossing Guard until June 2001.

REPORT NO.: PD-029-01 PAGE 2
1.2 At the same meeting Council adopted Resolution #GPA-435-00 "THAT the need for
additional [temporary] school crossing guards be investigated in other areas of the
Municipality where schools are being built and adjacent subdivisions are being
constructed".
2. COMMENT
2.1 Staff from Public Works and Planning Departments reviewed Council's request to
determine if there were some objective criteria that could be utilized to provide some
i
guidance to determine when a temporary Adult Crossing Guard should be deployed.
Staff concluded that there were no numeric criteria or set of conditions that could
adequately be utilized to determine when a temporary Adult Crossing Guard was needed.
iSituations in each plan of subdivision vary so greatly (construction phasing, location of
school, traffic volumes, timing of school construction, etc.). In essence, each situation is
unique.
2.2 Staff consulted with other municipalities in Durham Region. No lakeshore Municipality
has a policy in place regarding Temporary Crossing Guards. Moreover, they do not
favour such a policy for the same reason that staff do not recommend that the Clarington
establish such a policy. Once an Adult Crossing Guard is deployed, even on a
temporary basis, it is difficult to subsequently reduce the level of service.
2.3 The Town of Ajax indicated that if there were children crossing at a location where there
i
was construction, they asked the construction company to provide a flag person until the
i
construction was finished. The Public Works Department indicate that this is not
desirable since it may impact the costs of construction and that flag persons may not be
fully attentive to the children's movements.
2.4 It is therefore recommended that, if Council wants to pursue a policy of deploying a
temporary Adult Crossing Guards across the Municipality, it should be a reactive
approach. Specifically, there should be a formal request by a school board and a
ilfl5

subsequent review of the situation by staff to determine if there is danger to children
crossing the street due to increased vehicular traffic from construction activity or revised
traffic patterns due to construction activity. It is further recommended that the School
Board and School Council be informed of the termination date for the temporary
crossing.
I
3. CONCLUSION
f
If Council wishes to pursue a policy of hiring and deploying temporary Adult Crossing
Guards, it is recommended that they only be utilized in a limited manner where there is a
clearly identifiable increase in danger for children crossing a street. The process to be
utilized is as follows:
a) the relevant school board make a formal request to the Municipality; and
b) staff review the request and make a recommendation for Council's consideration.
C) the School Board and School Council and Principal be informed of the time-
period for the temporary Crossing Guard.

SMART GROWTH
ORIGIN
The term"smart growth"originated in Los Angeles in 1988
when a council candidate announced that he opposed slow
growth but favoured Smart Growth.
The term was also popularized by former U.S. Vice
President Al Gore who favoured Smart Growth(sustainable
.s<. . growth).
In the Speech from the Throne,April 19, 2001, Hon. Hilary
Weston identified Smart Growth as one of the 21 steps in
its plan.
` Today without a doubt,the term"Smart Growth"dominates
the political,development and planning lexicon.

SMART GROWTH'PRESENTATION
JUNE 4, 2001
SPEAKERS NOTES:
i
SMART GROWTH FEATURES
• Collaborating on a solution can impact urban form
• Mixing land uses
• Encouraging infill development and redevelopment
• Building master planned communities
• Conserving open space
• Providing transportation choices
• Providing housing choices
■ Lowering barriers to, and providing incentives for, Smart Growth
• Using high quality design techniques
Creating Compact Urban Form
■ Greater mix of uses at higher densities
Mixing Land Uses:
■ A mixed land use project can achieve several smart growth objectives
simultaneously. By incorporating a variety of housing types (such as
condominiums, townhouses, and single family dwellings) and integrating
convenience retail facilities (corner stores, dry cleaners, and restaurants)
developments can attract home owners of different income levels and reduce
dependence on the automobile, thus providing housing and transportation
choices. These projects also integrate public spaces, parks, trails and
community gathering space.
■ Impediments to mixed use development exist:
• Single use zoning
• Sometime getting financing is difficult
Encouraging Infill Development/Redevelopment:
■ Revitalizing is a central theme in the smart growth movement—infill and
redevelopment.
■ Infill is defined as the unused or undetermined lands in existing
communities.
■ Redevelopment means restoring existing buildings and properties that are
.severely blighted and/or diminishing the character and function of
neighbourhoods.
■ This strategy includes adaptive reuse and historic preservation projects.
• Brownfields—contaminated former industrial and commercial land,
comprise a portion of the site that can be redeveloped.
■ These projects can make efficient use of existing public infrastructure,
enhance the tax base and enliven older neighbourhoods.
Barriers
■ Cumbersome and costly permitting process
■ Poor infrastructure
■ Community opposition
I
Building Master Planned Communities
■ Usually built on "Greenfield" areas adjacent to or near urban fringes.
• Master planned communities are comprehensively planned, large-scale and phased
in logical stages.
• These are long-term multi-phased projects that combine complementary mix land
uses and are held together by unifying design elements.
• They often can preserve environmental resources, provide biking and pedestrian
systems, integrate a mixture of housing types and include shops and employment
opportunities— meeting several smart growth objectives.
• They face growing public opposition — NIMBYISM.
Conserving Open Space
• It has been established that natural open space, walking and biking paths and
sidewalks are highly valued community amenities. Incorporating such open space
features into development projects has proven to increase the value of new homes,
thus achieving environmental and economic objectives simultaneously.
• Green space preservation is a central component of many smart growth programs.
Providing Transportation Options
• The automobile is and is likely to remain, the number one transportation choice.
This however contributes to congestion, pollution and gridlock in some cases.
• Many smart growth programs support the development of transportation choices
and encourage the designation of land uses necessary to support it. Land use
designations which include compact mix use development along transportation
corridors and near transit stations are supportive of transportation options.
Providing Housing Options
• Providing opportunities for a range of housing types for a range of income levels is
an integral part of the smart growth objective—mixed income housing can be both
attractive and profitable.
• Downside: Public perception/opposition.
High Quality Design Techniques
• High quality design can help alleviate public opposition to new growth and
development including adversarial attitudes against higher density development and
new growth and development. High quality design takes many forms—traditional or
new urbanist design, which espouses development with a consistent design
character, a mix of land use, housing types, lot sizes, narrower streets and a system
of public spaces, is gaining popularity. Conservation designs are also used as a
smart growth strategy.
Collaborating on Solutions:
• Smart growth collaboration is intended to engender common ground and enable
all participants to work to improve land use and development patterns.
• Collaborative smart growth initiatives seek to identify common ground where
one development industry, environmentalist, civic organization, public official or
citizen can identify the most appropriate ways to accommodate future growth.
Lowering Barriers and Providing Incentives for Smart Growth
• Financial Incentives.
Streamlining the process.
