THAT Report PD-121-98 be received ; 2. THAT the application to amend Zoning By-law 84-63 of the former Town of Newcastle, as amended, submitted by Glen and Barbara Parks to reduce the minimum lot size from 0.8 hectares to 0.4 hectares be DENIED; 3. THAT a copy of this Report and Council's decision be forwarded to the Region of Durham Planning Department; and, 4. THAT all interested parties listed in this report and any delegations be advised of Council's decision. 1. APPLICATION DETAILS 1.1 Owner: Glen and Barbara Parks 1.2 Applicant/Agent: (same as owners) 1.3 Rezoning: from "Residential Hamlet Exception (RH-3)" to an appropriate zone in order to permit a reduction in minimum lot area from 0.8 hectares to 0.4 hectares 1.4 Area: 0.83 hectares (2.05 acres) 1.5 Location: - by informal description — south-east of the T-intersection of Sunny Ridge Trail and Holt Road in south-western Enniskillen; by municipal address — 5 Sunny Ridge Trail, Enniskillen; and, REPORT NO.: PD-121-98 PAGE 2 - by legal .description — Part Lot 20, Concession 7, former Township of Darlington (see Attachment No. 1). 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 On February 13, 1998, the Planning and Development Department received an application to amend Zoning By-law 84-63 in order to permit the severance of one I (1) residential lot into two (2) residential lots. II 2.2 A public meeting for the rezoning was held on April 6, 1998. No one spoke in support of the rezoning application, other than the owner/applicant. I 2.3 One resident spoke in objection on behalf of himself and many other resident and non-resident owners. He submitted a petition of signatures to verify his claim. He stated they were all strongly opposed to the application. He also said that the Town of Newcastle wanted a distinctive community and therefore, approved two (2) acre lots and the Municipality of Clarington should not reverse this position. The resident argued that the creation of smaller lots within the subdivision would lead to smaller houses and this would undermine the aesthetics of the neighbourhood. He maintained that the wishes of the 14 neighbouring households shouldn't be overruled by one household. 2.4 Mr. Al Goheen, the developer of the subdivision and the owner of three lots in the subdivision, stated that through volunteerism, he has been able to maintain the original aesthetics of the subdivision. He said he opposed the rezoning application to divide this two (2) acre lot into two one (1) acre lots. i 2.5 Subsequent to the public meeting, a number of residents contacted Staff, although many of them were the same individuals who had contacted Staff prior to the public meeting. REPORT NO.: PD-121-98 PAGE 3 3. EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES 3.1 The site is currently vacant. 3.2 The surrounding land uses are as follows: (See Attachment No. 1) North - a residence South - vacant lot East - vacant lot West - unopened portion of Holt Road and beyond this road, Enniskillen Conservation Area. �i 4. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY 4.1 Durham Regional Official Plan 4.1.1 Sunny Ridge Trail Subdivision was draft approved in 1982 within the policy framework of the 1976 Durham Regional Official Plan, which required approximately two (2) acre residential lots for all estate residential subdivisions. 4.1.2 Within the 1991 Durham Regional Official Plan, the subject property appears to be in the hamlet designation of Enniskillen. Hamlet boundaries and the details of the land uses within them are to be provided in local official plans. Staff notes that the above Plan states "the growth of rural settlements shall occur with careful consideration given to the natural, built and cultural environments" and "hamlets shall be developed in harmony with surrounding uses". These two policies imply that due consideration must be given to land use compatibility in the review of development applications. Staff is of the opinion that this rezoning application to reduce the lot size from two (2) acres to one (1) acre does not meet the intent of the above-noted policies. For the subject property, there is a built environment context of two acre lots i and this proposed rezoning is contrary to that context. Given this situation it appears the intent of the 1991 Durham Regional Official Plan has not been met. - � nz REPORT NO.: PD-121-98 PAGE 4 4.2 Clarington Official Plan Within the Clarington Official Plan, the subject property is designated Hamlet Residential. The application conforms to the land use designation and the minimum lot size requirement of 0.4 hectares (1 acre). However, the Plan requires development within a hamlet to "provide housing designed to complement the architecture of existing buildings". The introduction of smaller lot areas may I encourage the introduction of smaller homes and that might not complement the architecture of the existing homes. 5. ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE 5.1 Within Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 of the former Town of Newcastle, the j subject property is zoned Residential Hamlet Exception (RH-3). The division of the i M0.83 ha residential lot into two (2) residential lots of approximately 0.4 ha (see Attachment No. 2) is not allowed in this zone which has a minimum lot area of 0.8 ha. Hence the submission of the rezoning application. 6. AGENCY COMMENTS 6.1 The rezoning application was circulated to various agencies and other departments i by the Planning and Development Department. Bell Canada has yet to send comments. No objections were received from the Clarington Fire Department, the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, the Separate School Board and Ontario Hydro. All other comments received to date and as set out below reflect the current position of each agency/department. 6.2 The Clarington Public Works Department, Engineering Division has concluded that an increased number of dwelling units, as proposed through rezoning, will not impact the existing subdivision. i REPORT NO.: PD-121-98 PAGE 5 6.3 The Regional Health Department confirmed receipt of a report from Gibson & Associates Ltd. and noted that the lot servicing plan proposed is suitable to the Department. The Regional Health Department also noted that there is concern that other lots within the subdivision may be divided and therefore significantly i reducing the area for private sewage disposal as well as on site dilution of septic effluent. 6.4 The Regional Planning Department acknowledged the Health Department comments and re-confirmed that if any other lots are proposed in the vicinity, then the appropriate applications would have to justify the private lot servicing and dilution of effluent. 6.5 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Staff commented that the Gibson & Associates Ltd. Report indicated that Lot 1 can be severed and still meet septic requirements and not impact upon Bowmanville Creek from the viewpoint of Provincial Water Quality Objectives. Staff do not expect any adverse impacts upon Bowmanville Creek and given this, has no objections to the application, although prior to any filling or-grading on the site, the written approval of the Authority will be required. 7. STAFF COMMENTS 7.1 All outstanding items from the agency comments have been addressed. This includes any health concerns that might be of concern to the Regional Health Department. With regards to this application, there are no health concerns or any other problems of a technical nature. 7.2 The residents of the subdivision have two basic concerns, minimum lot size and minimum house size, i.e. floor area. Some residents noted that smaller lot and/or house sizes could negatively impact property values. i REPORT NO.: PD-121-98 PAGE 6 7.3 The Sunny Ridge Trail Subdivision was draft approved on June 16, 1982. Subsequently, twenty-two (22) two-acre lots were registered on October 26, 1988. Since 1988, the subdivision has been gradually built-up to today where there are 14 houses and 8 vacant lots (see Attachment No. 1). 7.4 The Subdivision Agreement stipulates that all builders within the subdivision must comply with the architectural control requirements of the Agreement. The primary requirement is that the external walls must be 40% brick. The developer is free to impose a higher level of architectural control if he wishes to. As well, any property owner is responsible for following the building permit process and complying with the lot grading and drainage master.plan for the subdivision. I 7.5 The Subdivision Agreement does not contain any restriction on dwelling size. The only restriction the Municipality enforces is the minimum floor area requirement (110 square metres - 1,184 square feet) specified in the 'Residential Hamlet (RH)' Zone. It is Staff's understanding that size restriction other than this, is contained within a covenant that the developer registered on title. The Municipality is not a party to this covenant and as such has no power to enforce it. In short, what this covenant amounts to is a private agreement. 7.6 As a result of this rezoning application, Staff has examined the subdivision to determine the extent to which this application, if approved, could be a precedent for i lots seeking a rezoning to reduce both the,minimum lot area and the minimum frontage. In this regard, all of the other seven vacant lots are potential candidates for severances subject to the owners being able to obtain rezoning to reduce lot area as proposed by the Parks, and also to reduce lot frontage. In addition, depending on the siting of dwellings, their wells, septic and reserve septic beds, on the occupied lots, it may be possible for two neighbouring property owners to jointly create a new lot � nA I REPORT NO.: PD-121-98 PAGE 7 between their existing dwellings. Two two-acre lots could be divided into three (3) 1.33 acre lots. 7.7 Staff would note that in regard to reducing minimum lot area there is no pr evious similar rezoning application among Hamlet Residential and County Residential Subdivisions. Reducing the minimum lot area by half (from 0.8 ha to 0.4 ha) is a substantial reduction and can be considered not in keeping with the existing built form of the subdivision. 7.8 With respect to the need for one (1) acre lots, Staff research indicates that in the area, i.e. former Darlington Township north of Taunton Road, in all draft approved or registered subdivisions, there are eighty-four (84) vacant lots of 1.49 acres or less but, only twenty-two (22) vacant lots of 1.50 to 2.60 acres. It appears there is no shortage of one (1) acre lots. 7.9 In general, a one (1) acre lot is an acceptable lot size in a hamlet setting. Although the Sunny Ridge Trail Subdivision is located within the Hamlet of Enniskillen limits as defined by the Clarington Official Plan, it is a distinct community, separated by valleylands from the main, historic community of Enniskillen where the lots and houses are older and smaller. In this regard, we feel that the residents' concerns are valid and the proposed rezoning to reduce the lot size substantially is not in keeping with the desire of the community of interest. 8. CONCLUSION In consideration of the comments contained in this Report, Staff cannot support this rezoning application. i rn —7 REPORT NO.: PD-121-98 PAGE 8 Respectfully submitted, Reviewed by, -Franklin Wu, M.C.I.P., R.P.P.

THAT Report PD-122-98 be received: 2. THAT Lakeshore Road from Bond Head to Clarington/Hope Township boundary be designated as the Waterfront Trail as shown on Attachment#2; 3. THAT the sum of $3,000.00 be withdrawn from the Waterfront Trail Reserve Account for purchasing the signs for the Trail east of Bond'Head; and 4. THAT the persons listed on the interested parties list attached to this report be forwarded a copy of this report and a copy of Council's decision. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In January, 1994 Council approved ultimate and interim alignments for the Waterfront Trail from the Oshawa/Clarington boundary to Bond Head. A map of both Trail routes is found on Attachment #1. The Trail is part of a Provincial Trail that follows the north shore of Lake Ontario from Niagara to Trenton. The ultimate alignment is the long-term plan for the Trail, which would be implemented as budgets permit, and properties become available. The interim alignment usually follows existing roads and was the most expedient way of providing connections in the initial building of the Trail. REPORT NO.: PD-122-98 PAGE 2 In Clarington, the ultimate alignment is relatively close to the shoreline of Lake Ontario, taking advantage of views of the lake and areas of natural and cultural significance. Portions of the ultimate trail alignment have been completed, through Darlington Provincial Park, Darlington Generating Station, Bowmanville Harbour Conservation Area and the Samuel Wilmot Nature Area. All other portions of the trail are on the interim alignment, which in time, will be moved. to the ultimate alignment. i 1.2 There are two gaps in the Waterfront Trail, which were not approved by Council in i 1995 because of a number of unresolved issues..The sections are: ➢ Bond Head to Hope Township; and ➢ between Bennett Road and Cobbledick Road. Staff and the Waterfront Regeneration Trust have been working together to find appropriate solutions for Trail alignments in these areas. i 1.3 A number of issues still remain unresolved with the alignment between Bennett Road and Cobbledick Road. However, the purpose of this report is to discuss the various options for the Trail from Bond Head to Hope Township and recommend to Council an appropriate solution. 2. WATERFRONT TRAIL EAST OF BOND HEAD i 2.1 The Clarington Waterfront Plan, prepared by Bird & Hale in 1993, recommended the Waterfront Trail be aligned along Lakeshore Road. Staff did not proceed with this recommendation for a trail alignment east of Bond Head, in January 1995, for the following reasons: i) Mr. Michael, a local farmer, indicated that spraying pesticides on near by crops could harm trail users passing by; and REPORT NO.: PD-122-98 PAGE 3 ii) Road safety issues associated with Lakeshore Road. Staff indicated that these issues would be reviewed and would report back with recommendations at a later date. 2.2 Agricultural Pesticides The Waterfront Regeneration Trust retained the law firm of McCarthy Tetrault to report on the liability and risk management issues associated with the Waterfront Trail. Among the various issues discussed, the report commented on trails through agricultural communities. The Bruce Trail , is routed through the agricultural community in the Niagara Peninsula; any type of conflict, nuisance or injury has never been raised .as an issue or as the subject of any claim. The long-standing experience of that trail without claims or complaints is probably the strongest evidence that the risk of conflict or injury between agricultural pesticide use and trail users is minimal. 2.3 Road Safety Issues Lakeshore Road is a forced road with limited area for shoulders or ditches. The traffic volumes on Lakeshore Road during the summer months average 400 vehicles per day, reaching over 500 on weekends. The speed is not posted along Lakeshore Road, and is not required under the Highway Traffic Act, but is assumed to be 80km/h. The section through Port Granby is posted at 60km/h. The actual speed is lower given the of number of turns in the road. Staff has examined the road safety issues in the context of design criteria in the Ontario Bikeway Planning and Design Guidelines prepared by the Ministry of Transportation and the Design, Signage, and Maintenance Guidelines prepared by the Waterfront Regeneration Trust. Ministry of Transportation Guidelines The Ministry's guidelines suggest that a shared roadway design (for vehicles and bicycles) is appropriate if speeds are less than 75 km/h and if traffic volumes REPORT NO.: PD-122-98 PAGE 4 are 400 vehicles or less per lane (800 for two-way traffic). It is not recommended for locations where motor vehicle speeds exceeds 75km/h and daily volume exceeds 20,000 vehicles. The Waterfront Regeneration Trust's Criteria The chart below identifies various standards for trails on roads in rural areas. Roadway Pedestrian & cyclists Pedestrians Cyclists Local Road 2.7m multi-use path 1.2m gravel 1.2m exclusive Speed under 80km/h shoulders cycling lands Volumes.under or 1000SADT* 1.2 m asphalt shoulder Local Road 2.7m multi-use path Shared roadway Shared roadway Speed under 80km/h or Volumes under 400 shared pathway SADT* *Summer average daily traffic I In addition to the technical design criteria, the Trust 's guidelines provide a profile on the various types of Trail users. The report states that: ➢ Leisure walkers may walk up to 8 kilometres per day or spend on average two and a half-hours on trails usually within urban areas; ➢ Distance hikers will walk up to 10 kilometres, they are more keenly interested in natural features, expect fewer amenities and are attracted to rural areas; and ➢ Cyclists will take day trips between 15 and 45 kilometres in urban areas and between 20 and 90 kilometres in rural areas. A typical visit is one to two and a half hours (assuming 18km/h). I REPORT NO.: PD-122-98 PAGE 5 3. STAFF COMMENTS 3.1 Staff examined Concession Road 1 as a possible alternative route. It is not a forced road and has a standard road allowance. The traffic volumes on Concession Road 1 are similar but the speed is actually higher because it is straight from Newtonville Road to Mill Street. It is often used as an alternate to the Hwy 401. Concession Road 1 is also a considerable distance from the lakeshore. Attachment #2 illustrates the proposed trail route from Bond Head to Hope Township. Lakeshore Road meets the technical criteria for pedestrians and cyclists. However, the distance between Bond Head and the next rest area with amenities such as restaurants and telephones, in Port Hope, is 26km. In recognition of the various types of trail users and the design criteria, Staff has concluded that Lakeshore Road would be best suited for cyclists only. The Clarington Waterfront Plan recommends a number of rest stop areas and amenity areas for the Waterfront Trail along the entire waterfront of Clarington. A number of them are located on unopened road allowances, which are also identified on Attachment #2. Staff will be examining the feasibility of utilizing any one of the road allowances for a rest stop area in the future. 3.2 The Municipality cannot restrict pedestrians from using a public road. However, it can recommend that Lakeshore Road is best suited for cyclists. The Waterfront Trust prepares a guidebook and maps for the Trail. Each publication will recommend Lakeshore Road be used only by cyclists. In addition, a Trailhead sign will be installed at Bond Head indicating the length of the trail to the next amenity area. REPORT NO.: PD-122-98 PAGE 6 3.3 Signs and trail markers will be installed along Lakeshore Road. Additional signs will be placed at the level train crossings, and cautionary signs for both cyclists and drivers, indicating that the road is a shared surface. The cost of these signs is approximately $3000.00. Staff recommends that the funds be withdrawn from the Waterfront Trail Reserve Account for this expenditure. 4. RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 Lakeshore Road is used on a regular basis by cyclists. The rural character and lake vistas of this area make Lakeshore Road one of the most scenic routes along the northshore of Lake Ontario. It is a prime location for the Waterfront Trail. Staff recommend that Lakeshore Road from Bond Head to Hope Township be approved as a section of Clarington Waterfront Trail and that appropriate signs be purchased and erected. i Respectfully submitted, Review y, Franklin Wu, M.C.I.P., R.P.P.

THAT Report PD-123-98 be received for information. 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 The Data Management Group is a joint program in transportation associated with the University of Toronto and funded by the GTA Regions, the Ministry of Transportation, GO Transit and the Toronto Transit Commission. In 1986, 1991 and 1996, the Data Management Group, conducted telephone surveys to collect demographic and travel data which would be subsequently used to assess trends and review and/or refine policy. 1.2 Preliminary results of the Transportation Tomorrow Survey (TTS) were released in June of 1997. The survey's database contains in excess of 115,000 records which represents 5% of all the households in the survey area, including approximately 1000 records from within Clarington. These results have now been expanded using the 1996 Census to produce a more extensive inventory of transportation data. 1.3 The data has several planning related applications including: • the assessment of future transportation needs; REPORT NO.: PD-123-98 PAGE 2 • the provision of valuable data for use with environmental assessment studies for road projects; • assistance in prioritizing capital works programs; • the provision of valuable date to assist in the review of noise impact reports; • the provision of data regarding vehicle ownership per household; and, • the provision of valuable data to assist in the review and formulation of Official Plan policy 2. KEY FINDINGS 2.1 MOTOR VEHICLE OWNERSHIP The following Table provides relevant information regarding motor vehicle ownership within the Municipality of Clarington. This information is valuable since it can be compared with the results of the two previous surveys in order to record changes. It is noted that while households and motor vehicles both increased by 83% between 1986 and 1996, the average number of vehicles per household remained constant at 1.8. This average is relatively consistent with the average for Durham Region (1.7) and York Region (1.8) but higher than those in the City of Toronto (1.5) and Peel Region (1.6).

In 1996, each household took an average of 6.2 trips per day, up slightly from the 1986 average of 6.0 trips per day. In addition, the mean trip length by auto drivers increased slightly by almost 1.7 kilometres, likely the result of increased commuting by new residents. i TRIP LENGTH 1986 1991 1996 % CHANGE 1986-1996 Average number of trips/day/ 6.0 6.5 6.2 + 3.3% household Average number of drivers/ 2.0 2.0 1.9 -5% household Mean Trip Length by Auto(Driver) 13.4 13.3 15.1 + 11.9% Mean Trip Length by Auto 12.8 10.9 13.1 + 2.3% (Passenger) - Mean Trip Length by Local Transit 18.4 15.5 23.8 + 29.3% Mean Trip Length by Go Train 64.8 61.1 58.0 - 10.5% 2.3 WORK TRIP DESTINATIONS The survey confirms that Clarington is largely a "bedroom" community: Work trips to municipalities outside of Clarington increased from 7,100 to 16,760, an increase of 136%. In 1986, 63% of work trips were to destinations outside of Clarington. In 1996, this figure has increased to 77%. These work trips are increasingly distant as confirmed by the trip length data. In 1986 only 900 work trips were to Toronto whereas by 1996, there were 3520 daily work trips to Toronto. There was also a substantial increase in work trips to Whitby, Ajax and Pickering. While in absolute terms there was an increase in work trips to Oshawa, on a percentage basis work trips decreased from 41% to 33%. Work trips by Clarington residents to Clarington destinations increased from 4200 to 5060 between 1986 and 1996. Thus, while total works trips increased by 100%, there was only a 3% increase in work trips destined to Clarington. REPORT NO.: PD-123-98 PAGE 4 Destination of Work Trips by Destination of Work Trips by Clarington Residents-1986 Clarington Residents-1996 (Total: 11,300) (Total: 22,000) Other Toronto 2%(200) V� Other Whitby 8%(900) 6%(700)(700) Toronto 4%(880) 12%(2,640) 16%(3,620) Oshawa Clarington 41%(4,600) Oshawa 37%(4.200) Cladngton 33%(7,040) 23%(6,060) Pickering- Pickering- Ajax gpg 1%(100) A)ax 1%(220) 6%(600) 11%(2.460) Work trips virtually doubled between 1986 and 1996; an increase from 11,300 to 22,000. Since this is higher than the rate of increase in households, it would indicate that more households have both spouses working or include adult children living at home. 2.4 WORK TRIP ORIGIN The number of total daily work trips to Clarington actually declined between 1986 and 1996 despite the large increase in population. The decrease from 8400 trips in 1986 to 8100 trips in 1996 is largely attributable to the completion of the construction of the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station and the loss of over 7000 temporary construction jobs. As a result Clarington residents comprise a larger share of the total daily work trips to Clarington destinations; an increase from 50% in 1986 to 63% in 1996. In addition, between 1986 and 1996, total daily work trips originating in Oshawa and destined for Clarington decreased from 2200 to 1700 (-29%). In addition Pickering-Ajax decreased from 300 to 160 (47%) and Toronto decreased from 600 to 160 (-73%). REPORT NO.: PD-123-98 PAGE 5 All daily work trips to Clarington originating outside of Clarington decreased from 4200 to 3900 (-7%). Despite a doubling of the total daily work trips by Clarington residents, those work trips destined for businesses within Clarington increased from 4200 to 5060 (21%). In 1986, only 50% of the work trips to Clarington originated with the Municipality; by 1996 63% of work trips to Clarington originated within the Municipality. This increase reflects the reduction of the in-flow workforce due to the loss of temporary construction jobs at Darlington Nuclear Generating Station.

In addition, although transit use increased marginally from 1% to 2%, in absolute terms, there were 1800 more Clarington residents using local transit to travel to work in 1996 than in 1986. REPORT NO.: PD-123-98 PAGE 7 The above graphs indicate that the private automobile remains the preferred mode of transit for work trips made to Clarington. In 1986, 85% of all work trips made to Clarington were by private automobile. This figure increased to 87% in 1996. The 2% increase in 1996 was realized as a result of a 2% decrease in the number of trips made to Clarington based businesses by walking or cycling. As urban sprawl continues to increase the distance from new residences to Central Areas, the number of people who walk or cycle to work is likely to decrease. 3. CONCLUSION 3.1 The Clarington Official Plan has established various goals and objectives with respect to transportation. These include: • to facilitate the movement of people and goods by a safe, efficient and balanced transportation system; • to decrease the dependency on motor vehicles; • to accommodate various forms of transportation including automobiles, trucks, transit vehicles, cycling and walking; and, • to give priority to public transit, cycling and walking as energy efficient and affordable forms of travel. The TTS provides valuable baseline that can be used to monitor the effectiveness of these goals and objectives. In addition, staff have estimated the amount of gasoline consumed by residents of Clarington on an average day. Clarington residents make 93,300 auto trips a day with an average trip length of 15 kilometres for a total of 1.4 million kilometres driven per day. Assuming an average of 8 kilometres per litre of gasoline, Clarington residents consume on a daily basis, approximately 175,000 litres of gasoline. REPORT NO.: PD-123-98 PAGE 8 3.2 The Transportation Tomorrow Survey provides valuable information for transportation planning and monitoring that policies are being effectively implemented. The data also proves useful in various transportation studies and assists in ensuring efficient investment in infrastructure.

THAT Report PD-124-98 be received ; 2. THAT Staff be authorized to take the appropriate action pursuant to municipal policy and the provisions of Section 210 (111) of the Municipal Act, for consideration of the proposed street name change of a portion of "CECIL FOUND CRESCENT" to "GEORGE REYNOLDS DRIVE". 3. THAT the landowners fronting onto that portion of Cecil Found Crescent be provided additional notice through first class mail circulation: and 4. THAT all interested parties listed in this report and any delegations be advised of Council's decision. 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 Draft plans of subdivision 18T-89035 and 18T-91006 (see Attachment No. 1) are located within Part of Lot 30, Concession 3, within the former Township of Darlington located on the east side of Trulls Road, north of Nash Road. 1.2 When the two (2) draft plans were approved (April 1991 and June 1992), access to the lands immediately to the east along what is now the north-easterly extension of REPORT NO.: PD-124-98 PAGE 2 Cecil Found Crescent was not contemplated in light of a development agreement that was registered on title on March 8, 1985. The development agreement reflected the "Pollard — Birchdale Village" 710 apartment unit— golf course development approved by Council in 1985. 1.3 Draft Plan of Subdivision 18T-89035 was constructed in 1992 and the new street was named Cecil Found Crescent to reflect the crescent nature of this new subdivision, as well as recognizing that the Pollard development would not permit George Reynolds to continue easterly. 1.4 In 1995 a draft Plan of Subdivision (18T-95029) was submitted for the former "Pollard — Birchdale Village" site, the lands to the east of 18T-89035 and 18T-91006 by Clarington Development Corporation, the new owners of the property. 1.5 Draft Plan 18T-95029 (see Attachment No. 1), in compliance with the Clarington Official Plan contained a portion of the Collector road which will run between Trulls Road and Courtice Road. This Collector road would be the easterly extension of "George Reynolds Drive" located on the west side of Trulls Road. 1.6 The owner of draft Plan 18T-91006 now wishes to finalize the subdivision agreement . In the preparation of the above work, the Municipality needs to assign a street name to the extension of Cecil Found Crescent, and hence is requesting Council's consideration of this Report. 2. STAFF COMMENT 2.1 In light of the existing road pattern and through the introduction of the Collector road between Trulls and Courtice Roads, the street name of Cecil Found Crescent at the northerly portion of the affected subdivision would be easily confused with REPORT NO.: PD-124-98 PAGE 3 the southerly portion of Cecil Found Crescent. Further this section of the roadway would not function as part of Cecil Found Crescent in the future. In fact, it would form a logical extension of George Reynolds Drive which will continue all the way through to Courtice Road in the future. 2.2 There are five (5) properties on the affected northerly portion of Cecil Found Crescent, immediately east of Trulls Road which will require their municipal house number and street addresses to be changed. The developer of draft Plan of Subdivision 18T-91006, through his agent, D.G. Biddle and Associates has confirmed that he will reimburse each household one hundred dollars ($100.00) to be used towards the costs of changing their municipal address as well as provide new house numbers for each home. It has been staff's practice to negotiate with the developer to provide some assistance to the affected homeowners for their inconvenience. It should be noted that the above offer is neither a requirements of the Municipal Act not a requirement of municipal policy for street name change. 3. RECOMMENDATION 3.1 The provisions of the Municipal Act stipulates that whenever the Council of a Municipality wishes to change a proposed street name, a notice is to be placed in the local newspaper(s) serving that Municipality, announcing Council's intentions. 3.2 Pending Committee and Council's approval of the recommendations contained within this report, Staff will proceed with the appropriate newspaper advertisements for four (4) consecutive weeks in accordance with the procedures set out in the Municipal Act. In addition, the property owners fronting onto that portion of Cecil Found Crescent will be provided additional notice through first class mail circulation.

THAT Report PD-125-98 be received ; 2. THAT Adult School Crossing Guards be approved at Liberty Street at Clayton Crescent and at Scugog Street at Jackman Road and further the 1999 operating budget be increased by $12,000.00; 3. THAT all interested parties listed in this report and any delegations be advised of Councils decision. 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 School Crossing Guard requests have been received for the following locations. a) Liberty Street at Clayton Crescent, Bowmanville This request is made by the Separate School Board to facilitate students living on the east side of Liberty Street to crossing Liberty Street to attend the new separate elementary school (St. Elizabeth School) on Longworth Avenue. b) Scugog Street at Jackman Road, Bowmanville This request is made by concerned parents from the Jackman Road area to assist students crossing Scugog Street to attend either Lord Elgin School or St. Elizabeth School on the east side of Scugog Street. REPORT NO.: PD-125-98 PAGE 2 c) Trulls Road near Sandringham Drive, Courtice This request is made by both the School Board and the concerned parents on the west side of Trulls Road, to assist students crossing Trulls Road to attend the new public elementary school (Dr. Lydia Trull School) on the east side of Trulls Road. 2. STUDY RESULTS Subsequent to the requests, School Crossing Guard Need Studies were conducted for the said locations. The results indicate the delay or difficulty for elementary � school children crossing the street and is expressed in percentage of the total studies time shown as follows: a) Liberty Street/Clayton Crescent August 19 a.m. 41.7% (summer pre-school) August 19 p.m. 59.3% (summer pre-school) September 17 a.m. 41.9% September 17 p.m. 46.2% j September 22 p.m. 53.00/6 September 27 a.m. 48.0% b) Scugog Street/Jackman Road September 18 a.m. 52.6% September 23 p.m. 32.3% September 24 a.m. 39,4% September 24 p.m. 60.2% i -a r REPORT NO.: PD-125-98 PAGE 3 c) Trulls Road/Sandringham Drive April 6 a.m. 23.7% September 9 a.m. 23.4% September 16 a.m. 27.5% September 16 p.m. 29.7% September 29 a.m. 19.5% September 29 p.m. 29.2% 3. MUNICIPALITY POLICY The standard method to determine the need for an Adult Crossing Guard was developed by the Institute of Transportation of Engineers and used by many municipalities throughout North America. The technique involves the use of a stop watch to determine the length and quantity of safe gaps between vehicles, and is expressed in percentage of the studied time where school children will experience delay or difficulty in crossing a street. i In 1991, the Municipality of Clarington adopted 50% as the threshold for the introduction of adult school crossing guard. 4. COMMENTS 4.1 From the study results, it appears that both Liberty Street and Scugog Street have exceeded the 50% threshold and therefore qualify for Adult School Crossing Guards under municipal policy. 4.2 At the Trulls Road location, the highest study result from 6 different studied periods shows only 29.7% which is well below the 50% threshold. As a result, an Adult School Crossing Guard will not be recommended for this location. However, this location will be monitored annually for any increase in traffic volumes and student crossing activities. -, REPORT NO.: PD-125-98 PAGE 4 4.3 The cost of hiring two adult school crossing guards is $12,000.00 per annum which requires Council's pre-approval of this amount of increase in the 1999 budget. Said increase is necessary in order for the Municipality to maintain a level of service consistent with the municipal policy. Further, as the Municipality grows by leaps and bounds, it is inevitable that Adult School Crossing Guards would have to be provided near new developments and new schools. The $12,000.00 will be funded through general tax revenue. i 4.4 Prior to placing any Adult School Crossing Guard at the new locations, all I applicable connecting walkway, traffic signage, pavement marking etc. would have to be physically installed. Public works staff will be responsible for the above works and will work with the Region of Durham where a Regional Road is involved. We anticipate to have the crossing guard in place at Scugog Street in November and at Liberty Street in the new year. i 4.5 Staff have also received a request for a crossing guard at Mearns Avenue/Soper Creek Drive. Studies for this location will be carried out in November. Respectfully submitted, Reviewed by, dFranklin Wu, M.C.I.P., R.P.P.

THAT Report CD 53-98 be received; and 2. THAT a copy of Report CD-53-98 be forwarded to Mr. Gust. BACKGROUND: At the September 14, 1998 meeting of Council, Mr. Sam Gust appeared as a delegation and spoke about his concerns over the actions of the By-law Enforcement Division in relation to his properties. Staff were directed to review his concerns and prepare a report for Committee's consideration. The absence of a written list of concerns makes it difficult for staff to know exactly what Mr. Gust was referring to at the time that he spoke to Council. Mr. Gust owns several properties within the Municipality. In the last nine years, eight separate investigations involving lands owned by Mr. Gust either in his own name or through Gust Holdings Inc. have been undertaken. Three of these were property standards, two fencing, one zoning and a noise matter. In each case Mr. Gust was given the opportunity to comply with the requirements of the respective By-laws. As each matter was resolved the file was closed. The By-law Enforcement Division operates strictly on a complaint basis. In each incident staff action was precipitated by a complaint involving some form of deficiency or non- compliance on the part of Mr. Gust. For example, one of the fence complaints required a Fence Viewing under the Line Fences Act in order to resolve it. It appears there was one matter in particular which prompted Mr. Gust's appearance before Council. Mr. Gust owns a vacant piece of industrial land on the east side of Simpson Avenue south of Baseline Road. In 1997 a Property Standards Notice under the Planning Act was sent to Mr. Gust advising him of the deficiencies and instructing him to remove all the derelict vehicles and waste material.' 7 n 1 CD-53-98 - 2 - October 19, 1998 In August of this year, a Property Standards Order pursuant to the Municipality's new Property Standards By-law and the Building Code Act was issued against the property. This Order required compliance by September 30, 1998. To date the Order has not been complied with. It is the intention of staff to enforce the Order against the property and a report will be forthcoming dealing with this matter. Mr. Gust's presentation to Council may in fact have been his attempt to circumvent the requirements of the By-law and the Building Code Act. The Building Code Act provides a specific method and form of appeal from the Order. Section 15.3(1) states that an owner or occupant who has been served with an Order and who is not satisfied with the terms or conditions of the Order may appeal to the Property Standards Committee by sending Notice of Appeal by registered mail to the Secretary within fourteen days of service of the Order. The deadline for Mr. Gust to appeal to the Committee was September 18, 1998. This requirement for method and form of appeal is very clearly described in the Order. No appeal was received nor has there been any indication that he disagreed with the requirements of the Order. In the absence of any appeal, the Order is now deemed to be confirmed and enforceable. The only other issue currently under investigation involving Mr. Gust deals with a Zoning infraction on a piece of land at Baseline Road and Liberty Street. The land is being used to store a large construction type trailer. The owner, a numbered company of which Mr. Gust is one of the principles, has been instructed to remove the trailer and has failed to do so. That matter is currently before the courts. To the best of staff's recollection, Mr. Gust has never spoken to staff or responded directly to any of the complaints involving him. The two latest incidents have come to a head because of his failure to address these matters directly at the staff level. In the final analysis, Mr. Gust has been treated no differently from any other citizen of the Municipality. Staff's attention has only been drawn to Mr. Gust's properties as a result of public complaints. Respectfully submitted: Reviewed by: ;Patti . Barri , A.M.C.T. H.

THAT Report TR-78-98 be received; and 2. - THAT the recommendations and actions identified in the body of Report TR-78-98 be endorsed. Background and Comment: In 1997 Audit Report and Management letter received from Deloitte and Touche, contains some recommendations to improve upon certain internal control areas within the Municipality. A;copy of the Audit Management letter is attached as Schedule"A". The Audit Management letter states the following: "We have noted continuing improvement in the records and accounts of the Municipality and are pleased to see that many of the comments in our prior year's management letter have been acted upon. We feel the attached suggestions will further enhance the accounting procedures, internal controls and operations of the Corporation. However, they should be considered in context with the Municipality's overall system of internal controls and accounting procedures which we consider, based on our review, to be good." 10 PSAAB Requirements 1.1 At the present time, the Public Sector Accounting and Auditing Board (PSAAB) recommendations have not yet been proclaimed and the Province has not yet released any revisions to the required format for the 1998 financial year end. CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON Management Letter December 31, 1997 Page 1 of 6 PSAAB REQUIREMENTS The Public Sector Accounting and Auditing Board (PSAAB) has issued handbook sections in order to set standards for good municipal accounting and financial reporting practices. Three of these sections are expected to become applicable for the reporting year ending December 31, 1998. The requirements of these sections will be as follows: 1. Section 1700 deals with the objectives of financial statements and includes detail which sets out the general attributes of financial statements. As part of this section, the balance sheet will have to be approved and signed by the Mayor and Audit Committee Chair in order to show accountability. 2. Section 1800 deals with the general standards of financial statement presentation. As part of these standards a statement of changes in financial position will be required; all liabilities will now be recorded on the balance sheet,restricted assets will no longer need to be segregated on the balance sheet, and expenditures will not include debt principal repayments. Principal and interest charges will be reported on a separate line at the end of the statement of operations. 3. Section 2100 deals with disclosure and includes the disclosure of accounting policies as well as the disclosure of any changes in accounting policies. Recommendation: We suggest the Municipality review the applicable PSAAB handbook sections and determine what changes in reporting the Municipality will have to address for the year ending December 31, 1998.. ACCESS TO COMPUTER ROOM Observation: During discussions with client personnel it was noted that access to the computer room is not restricted to computer personnel, as there is a printer in the room which is used by various staff members. This is a weakness in controls as the risk of unauthorized access to the computer equipment is high. Node& Touche CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON Management Letter December 31, 1997 Page 2 of 6 ACCESS TO COMPUTER ROOM(Continued) Implication: When this issue was discussed with treasury department staff we were informed that it was not feasible at the present time to move the printer to another location due to lack of available office space. Recommendation We recommend that the printer be moved as soon as possible and the access code changed to allow only authorized personnel access to the computer room. SEGREGATION OF DUTIES Observation: We noted that the cash supervisor in the tax department has her own till and, when needed, accepts cash receipts. She is also directed a majority of the telephone calls concerning taxes and has authorization to perform posting functions and write-offs to tax accounts. Implication: These conflicting duties result in an internal control weakness as the same person can accept cash, answer tax related inquiries,post tax accounts, and process write offs. Recommendation: We recommend the cash supervisor not be allowed to process tax write offs or other miscellaneous adjustments to tax accounts. If staff availability does not permit this, any adjustments. other than cash receipts posting entries, processed by the cash supervisor should be reviewed on a timely basis by the deputy-treasurer or other appropriate official. Deloitte& Touche CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON Management Letter December 31, 1997 Page 3 of 6 YEAR 2000 Observation: Discussions with your staff indicated that you are currently in the process of addressing the year 2000 computer compliance issue. To date most of the work has been completed within the computer systems group with the focus primarily on technology and financial systems. Other systems which function on a "date sensitive" basis have not yet been formally reviewed for year 2000 compliance. The Treasury Department is co-ordinating this year 2000 compliance issue, and we understand they will be formally reporting to Council on this matter in the near future. Systems already being investigated for year 2000 compliance are the G. I. S. system, the financial reporting system and the tax collections system. Implication: With the Treasury Department co-ordinating this project there may be operating department year 2000 issues of which they are not aware. Recommendation: We suggest the municipality formalize the year 2000 project team which should include representation from all departments within the organization. This project team should be assigned the responsibility of ensuring all areas of the municipality be reviewed for compliance. The first mandate of this team should be to complete an inventory of all systems within the municipality which are "date sensitive" (ie. telephone systems, security systems, etc.) and which may potentially be affected by the year 2000 date. Subsequently, the Municipality should develop a plan to determine which systems are not year 2000 compliant and decide how to update those systems which are found to be deficient. TAX SYSTEM Observation: It is our understanding that the municipality is in the process of implementing a new tax system which is expected to be Year 2000 compliant and be able to accommodate the tax changes legislated by the current provincial government. Implication: During our discussions with staff we noted no formal conversion and testing plan had been established to control the conversion process. Delod & Touche 8 8 0 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON Management Letter December 31, 1997 Page 4 of 6 TAX SYSTEM (Continued) Recommendation: As this implementation will require the conversion of a large amount of tax account data we encourage the staff within the Treasury department to ensure that the conversion utility being utilized is appropriately tested before the final conversion takes place, and that pre-conversion data is reconciled to post-conversion data. We understand that a formal conversion plan has been developed and implemented over the past few weeks and will be used to control the conversion of the tax information from the old to the new tax system. INTERNET USE Observation: During discussions with staff we noted that the municipality is planning to introduce the use of the Internet (primarily for e-mail) to individual desktop computers. As part of this process an appropriate firewall will be set up and managed within the municipality. Recommendation: As this process will provide external access to the municipality's computer systems, we strongly encourage the municipality to: • Develop an Internet appropriate use policy which outlines what the Internet services are to be used for within the municipality and highlight repercussions for misuse; and • Properly test and validate the working of the firewall and other security measures which will be implemented. These procedures would help ensure sensitive municipal information is not obtained by unauthorized external parties and would minimize the possibility of attracting harmful computer viruses to your system. Deloitte& Touche hl 9 n CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON Management Letter December 31, 1997 Page 5 of 6 NOVELL LAN SECURITY Observation: During the course of our review of the currently enabled Novell LAN security we noted that: • one user with administrative equivalent rights did not require a password on the system; ` and • one user with administrative equivalent rights required a password but it was never required to be changed. Recommendation It is our understanding that the standard user profile at the municipality requires a standard five character password which is forced to be changed every 180 days. The "unique"password utility is also enabled to ensure users do not re-use the same passwords. We suggest that all staff be required to follow this standard profile. This will be increasingly important as the municipality potentially starts to offer access to the Internet through the network. PRIOR YEAR COMMENTS STILL APPLICABLE Capital Fund Accounting Procedures Observation: At the present time the municipality accounts for capital expenditures through the Revenue Fund. A separate ledger to record the financing and expenditures for the capital projects would be more efficient. Recommendation: Due to the increasing number and complexity of capital projects undertaken by the municipality, we suggest that the municipality consider establishing a formal Capital Fund Ledger to further improve your financial information. Such a ledger would allow for easier monitoring of capital projects, eliminate the need to transfer unexpended capital financing to reserve/reserve funds at the end of each year, and provide more informative reporting of unencumbered reserves and reserve fund balances. Deloitte& Touche 810 0 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON Management Letter December 31, 1997 Page 6 of 6 PRIOR YEAR COMMENTS STILL APPLICABLE(Continued) Information Services Department System Policies and Procedures Observation: During our review of the current information system we noted that certain documented policies and procedures are out of date and in places refer to software no longer in use. As remote sites continue to be introduced on the LAN, control over computer operations becomes increasingly difficult. Strong system policies and procedures with regard to system operations, security and maintenance will contribute to the consistency and reliability of the information produced by the systems. Recommendation: We suggest one member of the information systems team be assigned the responsibility 'of reviewing, updating and monitoring compliance with current documented policies and procedures.

The agreements required the developer to construct a storm sewer system and all roadworks, 'including hot-mix paving, curbs, sidewalks, topsoil and sodding of boulevards, paving of driveway entrances, street lighting and street trees, hereinafter referred to as the `Works.' 2.2 The initial works were completed by the developer in the fall of 1994. Since then, all of the homes have been completed, but the final works remain unfinished. 2.3 Various complaints and inquiries have been received from residents regarding the completion of the works. Staff has tried to contact the developer on numerous occasions, but all attempts have been unsuccessful. 2.4 The outstanding works include, but are not necessarily limited to storm sewer repairs; base asphalt repairs; surface asphalt paving; driveway approach paving; 11n7 REPORT NO.: WD-53-98 PAGE 3 boulevard sodding; curbs; sidewalks and street trees. 2.5 ' There is presently a Letter of Credit from the developer, valued at $91,069.66, in favour of the Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington (P72314T06176 Royal Bank). 2.6 Staff has estimated the costs of completing all outstanding works (including legal costs, contingencies, engineering and management fees) in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.17 of the Subdivision Agreement, to be approximately $90,000.00. 2.7 Under Section 5.17 of the Subdivision Agreement(Attachment No. 2), the Director of Public Works has the authority to order the work completed at the expense of the developer, subject to the approval of Council and upon written `Notice being given to the developer and his surety(refer to Attachment No. 3). 2.8 In the event the developer does not complete all outstanding requirements by November 15, 1998, the Municipality will proceed with these works at the full expense of the developer. In order to protect the Municipality's interests aix e»sure there are no delays in accessing the developer's funds, it is recommended that the Letter of Credit be drawn down for its full value.

THAT Report WD-54-98 be received for information; 2. THAT additional"Truck Route"signs be posted in Orono to encourage the use of Highway 35/115 rather than Cobbledick Street;and 3. THAT Wes Knapp be advised of Council's decision. REPORT 1.0 ATTACHMENTS No. 1: Key Map No, 2: Fetter dated September 10, 1998 by Syvan Developments to tenants of former'Curve'Hy Factory,9 Cobbledick Street,Orono No. : Correspondence dated September 18, 1998 from Region of Durham regarding Orono Traffic Issues 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Wes Knapp of#5105 Regional Road 17(Main Street),Orono,has expressed concerns over recent years regarding truck traffic using Cobbledick Street. The resident's most recent request for truck restrictions comes after a truck bent the end of a drainage culvert at the intersection of Cobbledick'Street and Main Street. REPORT NO.: WD-54-98 PAGE 2 3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT 3.1 The existence of truck traffic is a concern to the resident on the south east corner of Cobbledick Street and Regional Road 17 (Main Street)due to the proximity of the house to the road surface. Records indicate there has been one reported accident, involving an unknown truck,which damaged a hydro pole while turning the corner on December 20, 1996. 3.2 Original truck traffic concerns were related to the Orono Fuel and Lumber operations, located on Station Street, with a back entrance onto Cobbledick Street. Those concerns were addressed by posting truck route signs as vehicles exited Highway 35/115,encouraging the use of Station Street. Operators of Orono Fuel and Lumber use the access off of Station Street as their main entrance. 3.3 Concerns arose again during 1998 as the result of additional businesses operating from the former Curve Ply Building on Cobbledick Street. The businesses include Motor City Trailer, which fabricates trailers, and AWA Transport,which operates as a distribution centre by unloading large vehicles onto smaller trucks for further deliveries. Public Works staff visited the businesses to advise them of the resident's concerns. As a result, Edmond Vanhaverbeke of Syvan Developments sent a letter to all their tenants of the building requesting their co-operation (Attachment No. 2). It is the determination of Public Works staff that truck volumes on Cobbledick Street are still low and do not represent a major concern to the neighbourhood nor to safety at the intersection of Regional Road 17 (Main Street). 3.4 In addition to the requested co-operation of the tenants in the former Curve Ply Factory, staff is proposing to install additional"Truck Route" signing to encourage the use of Highway 35/115. These signs, with arrows pointing towards Highway 35/115, will be installed at the exit of the former Curve Ply Factory and rear exit to Orono Fuel and Lumber to remind drivers of the preferred route. It should be noted that trucks leaving this area likely have three main destinations in mind: i) Highway 35/115 South to Highway 401; ii) Highway 35/115 North; and iii) Taunton Road West. 111 REPORT NO,: WD-54-98 PAGE 3 i) Highway 35/115 South-Trucks will make the obvious choice to proceed easterly on Cobbledick Street onto Station Street to the ramp to Highway 35/115 South. ii) Highway 35/115 North-Drivers will make a choice to use one of the following alternative routes: a) Highway 35/115 South as in i) and then use the next interchange(Main Street) to turn around and go North on Highway 35/115. b) Following the"Truck Route"signing,east on Cobbledick Street,west on Station Street,north on Main Street and then east on Taunton Road to Highway 35/115 North. C) West on Cobbledick Street,north on Main Street and then east on Taunton Road to Highway 35/1'!15 North. iii) Taunton Road West—In all likelihood,trucks will make a choice to use one of the following two routes: a) Following the"Truck Route"signing,east on Cobbledick Street,west on Station Street and then north on Main Street to Taunton Road. b) West on Cobbledick Street and then north on Main Street to Taunton Road. 3.5 Clarington Public Works also consulted with the Region of Durham Public'Works on this issue, as the main concern was at the Regional intersection of Cobbledick Street and Regional Road 17 (Main Street). Region staff expressed concerns about the alternate route from Cobbledick Street to Station Street, forcing trucks to complete an awkward turn and placing them in jeopardy of colliding with vehicles exiting Highway'!115. The preferred alternative of trucks going onto Highway 115,then making the turn around at the next interchange also exposes other residents to truck traffic (Attachment No. 3). 3.6 Public Works staff also consulted with Durham Regional Police on the enforcement issue of posting for"no trucks." The passing of by-laws to prohibit trucks is intended to discourage heavy volumes of cut-through traffic through residential areas and keep them on safer routes. The Highway Traffic Act provides for exemptions for truck drivers who are actually engaged in deliveries or services to premises abutting the roadway. The fact that the businesses are on Cobbledick Street and the alternative intersection movement involving Cobbledick Street to Station Street is awkward and potentially dangerous could reduce opportunities of any charges REPORT NO.: WD-54-98 PAGE 4 being laid or being upheld in court. These complications, combined with low truck volumes and the potential for residents of other streets also requesting that truck traffic be prohibited, suggests to staff that passing a by-law to prohibit trucks should not be introduced at this location. 4.0 CONCLUSION 4.1 From the above, it is concluded that"Truck Route"signing should be enhanced to encourage use of Highway 35/115 rather than Cobbledick Street.

RE: • -Two!Traffic Issues in the vidnity of Orono, Municipality of Clarington ommissioner f Works Concern re Truck Movements-at Main-Street(RR 1 7) and Cobbledick Street, Orono Please quote our ref to-RRI7-STY Further to our recent phone conversation I made an 'n-site visit to review the concern TRA-RR4-SIN about'truck`traffic generated by.the Orono Fuel & Lumber and.the old Curvee Ply factory:bl ilding(trucking!yard) and its`affect on the subject intersection. It is recognized that road geometry at Cobbledick Street and Main.Street is-tighter than the Station Street and Main Street intersection, However,'a five year search of reportable collisions at I Cobbledick and:Main revealed.only'one incident where a westbound to northbound truck turning the corner restzlted,in a'broken hydro pole on the north-east 'corner. The Region considers this to be an.'.isolated incident (eg. inexperienced driver) and we have no other truck traffic related maintenance or similar concerns here. We also agree that forcing large trucks outbound-from the trucking yard or the lumber business to head ea4t and complete an awkward tum-onto Station Street places them in jeopardy of colliding with a vehicle.exiting the.King's Highway No. 115, where sight distance and geometry.is-limited. If the outbound trucks had an ultimate destination north via the Highway#115, they could potentially head south on the Hwy #115 and complete a switch-back movement via the south Orono off ramp onto Main Street. This routing option however, also re§ults in trucks travelling past abutting homes for at least a short portion of Main Street and possibly.its full length if they chose to travel as far as Taunton Road before continuing,north on King's Highway No.. 115 for the remainder of their trip..'If early morning or,late night trucking is the concern, additional residents could be affected. ATTACM4Y NO.: 3 REPORT NO.: WD-54-98 ' `<X-L 2 .r' - 2 - In the Region's Heavy Traffic controlling by-law(section 19.2 - By-law 5-96) any posted prohibitions do not extend to use of the posted section or part thereof for deliveries to or removals from any premises abutting the posted road section. In my experience, a similar worded provision is typically found in numerous Ontario municipal by=laws that are designed to control the'flow of through movement Heavy truck traffic. Citizen Concern about Street Name Sign for Taunton'Road and Tamblyn Road While on-site checking this intersection a local farmer stopped me and explained a concern he had about this intersection opposite the Co-op Store. Ina recent incident, an ambulance had trouble locating a farm north of Taunton Road along Tamblyn Road and at, least some-of the difficulty was due to the current lack of signing at Taunton Road. The farmer also made a suggestion that the relatively short portion of Tamblyn Road north of Taunton Road be re-named Co-op Road to avoid its apparent frequent confusion with the other portion of Tamblyn Road located east of Highway No. l 15 south. of the Clarke 6th. Concession. In the emergency call the ambulance was.. apparently delayed considerably by confusion over the two physically separated Tamblyn Road sections. Could you investigate his concern as local road names and their signing at Regional Road intersections is a Municipality of Clarington responsibility. Unfortunately, I did not obtain the farmer's.name, but he. hauls by tractor through the subject intersection frequently-and his is one of only four farms located to the north of Taunton Road off Tamblyn Road. He also pointed out that it.is common for unfamiliar drivers to exit the Taunton Road, Highway No. 115 off--ramp iq search of the Clarke 6th*Concession, This leads to frequent un-safe`U-turns' from the north ramp. He also suggested that the MI'O should advance sign the Highway No. 115 southbound,lanes to more clearly advise unfamiliar motorists-of the other-more southerly off-ramp which is the correct and safe way to access the Clarke 6th. Concession, east of.the Highway No. 115. 1 support his conclusion and have already passed this additional signing suggestion along to the MTO for their consideration. Please feel free to call if you should require any follow-up discussion on either matter. Yours truly, Mike Gough, CET Senior Traffic Analyst Attach. rd �c: G. Borchuk, P. Eng.

THAT Mr. Cameron be provided with a copy of this report and advised of Council's decision REPORT 1.0 ATTACHMENTS No. 1': Report WD-34-98 No. 2 Correspondence dated September 16, 1998 from the Ontario Heritage Foundation 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 At a meeting held on June 22, 1998, the Council of the Municipality of Clarington passed the following resolution; REPORT NO.: ADDENDUM TO REPORT WD-34-98 PAGE 2 "THAT Report WD-34-98,be received; THAT the Municipality apply to the Province of Ontario, Ontario Heritage Foundation, under the "Local Marking Program" to assist in the wording and funding of a proper historical plaque for the site of the previous water spring and report back; THAT the Municipality's portion of the funding be obtained from Account #7211- 0411-0169; and THAT Mr. Cameron be provided with a copy of Report WD-34-98 and advised of Council's decision." 3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT 3.1 Name of the Spring As part of the preparation of the original report, discussions took place with the Bowmanville Museum and senior members of the local community. Although "Watering- Trough Hill" appeared to be the most historically accurate name for the location, recent inquiries by members of Council and staff have determined that "Tyrone Spring" is the most widely used name in the community. 3.2 Spring History and Classification No Nvritten documentation of the spring was discovered by staff or provided by any interested parties. Our best information tell us that "Tyrone Spring" is the site of a natural spring which dates back to the 1800's when clear spring water fed a wooden trough to accommodate those travelling with horse drawn vehicles. The original trough was reportedly hollowed out of a tree trunk, but a later replacement consisted of cut lumber. The adjacent landowners, while the spring fed watering-trough was in use, were Mr. John 11 4 REPORT NO.: ADDENDUM TO REPORT WD-34-98 PAGE 3 Staples (1878), and the estate of the late George Griffen(1861). The private sign placed by the adjacent neighbour,Mr. Cameron, states that: 1. the spring is fed by an artesian well; and 2. water originates in the surrounding hills, 1. Spring is fed by an artesian well A true artesian spring percolates through the aquifer for long periods of time between two layers of non-permeable materials which`'makes it pure. A true artesian well covers a large landmass, not just a small parcel of land. The spring's artesian qualities cannot be confirmed unless a study is conducted by a hydrogeologist. Although the spring does overflow, a member of the Durham Region Health Department,who is familiar with the site,felt it was simply a water table spring. 2. Water 'originates in the surrounding hills — The private sign stated that the spring originates in the hills on the Cameron property. Recognizing that people familiar with the site feel that it is simply a water table spring, this seems to support the fact that water is originating from the surrounding hills. 3.3 Response from Ontario Heritage Board The letter received back from Mr Paul Litt of the Ontario Heritage Foundation, Attachment No. 2, advises that this project does not meet the Foundation's criteria and would not significantly contribute to the public's knowledge of Ontario's heritage. Funding, official recognition or wording suggestions could not be provided by the Ontario Heritage Foundation for this project. 4.0 CONCLUSION 4.1 From the above, it is concluded that the Municipality would not be able to erect,a proper historical plaque under the Ontario Heritage Foundation, "Local Marking Program". At this point,Public Works Department could erect'a metal sign on a 4' x 4' post, similar in quality REPORT NO.: ADDENDUM TO REPORT WD-34-98 PAGE 4 to a normal roadside sign. Staff recommend that the Municipality erect a standard quality sign to read as follows: TYRONE SPRING Site of a natural spring which dates back to the 1800's when clear spring water fed a wooden trough to accommodate those travelling with horse drawn vehicles.

REPORT A 1.0 ATTACHMENTS No 1: Key Map No 2: Correspondence dated May 25, 1998 from Robert Cameron ATTACFMENT NO. 1 REPORT NO.: ADDENDl1`1 TO REPORT tC-34-98 ' REPORT NO.: WD-34-98 PAGE 2 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 At a meeting held on May 25, 1998, �he�Council of the Municipality of Clarington passed Resolution#GPA-300-98: "THAT the delegation of Robert Cameron pertaining to the water spring on the 8th Concession be received; and That the Director of Public Works be requested to prepare a report for submission to the General Purpose and Administration Committee on June 8, 1998." 3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT _ 3.1 The water spring has a long history, with its existence known since 1890. It was reported that some people drove great distances to obtain this pure spring water. At one time the spring was piped into a watering trough for passing travellers with horse drawn vehicles. 3.2 Spring Upgrading Repairs During late 1992, the Municipality spent approximately$5,000.00 to have the existing well removed and replaced with new file and a pipe outlet. The intent was to improve the quality of the water and make it useable to the general public. At that time, Mr. Cameron agreed that he would provide the plaque. 3.3 Closure of Spring The flow of water from the spring was made inaccessible to the public during 1993. This closure was undertaken as a result of bacteriological tests by the Region of Durham Chief Public Health Inspector,which confirmed the water was unsafe for human consumption. 3.4 Name of Spring + There has been controversy over the name of the spring, with many people referring to the spring as "Tyrone Spring", "Lon sault S " g g pring or Watering-Trough Hill as alternatives to "Cameron Spring". A member of the Bowmanville Museum and long time resident of r, REPORT NO.: WD-34-98 PAGE 3 Tyrone felt "Watering-Trough Hill" was the most,appropriate name. Mr. Cameron's previous sign also stated it was once kpown as the Watering-Trough Hill. 3.5 Proper Plaque The plaque posted by Mr: Cameron was a sign with letters applied to a flat metal blank. The cost to replace the sign is approximately$60.00. To replace the sign with a proper bronze historical plaque(18"x 24"), the estimated cost is approximately$850.00; to install the plaque on a vandal resistant base,the total estimated cost is$1,050.00, _ 3.6 Ontario Heritage Foundation Mr, Paul Litt was contacted with regards to the placement of a provincially funded' historical plaque at this site. The Province will assist in research of the site under the"Local Marking Program" and contribute 50%financially,up to$400, towards the purchase of the plaque. They will also assist in the proper wording of the plaque. The proposed wording' suggested by staff to the Province could be as follows: Watering-Trough Hill Site of an artesian well which dates baek to the 1800's when clear spring water fed a wooden trough to accommodate those travelling with horse drawn vehicles. This plaque is provided .by R.W. Cameron, the Municipality of Clarington and the Ontario Heritage Foundation. REPORT NO.: WD-34-98 PAGE 4 , 3.7 The contents of this report were discussed with Mr. Cameron on June 1, 1998 and he does not feel that Watering-Trough Hill is the appropriate name. Mr. Cameron has resided near the spring since 1955. Although Mr. Cameron prefers to see the spring carry the name "Cameron Spring", Mr. Cameron has been instrumental in having the spring recognized, improved and maintained over recent years. For this reason, and regardless of the fact that research by the Ontario Heritage Foundation may determine "Watering-Trough Hill" to be the appropriate name, staff feel that Mr. Cameron may still wish to contribute to the cost of the permanent historical plaque. In this manner, Mr. Cameron, the Municipality and the Ontario-Heritage Foundation are all recognized on the plaque. 4.0 CONCLUSION 4.1 From the above, it is concluded that, after additional historical research, a properly worded and designed plaque should be provided at the site.
