PRESENTATIONS
i
(a) Inspector Ross Smith and Staff Sergeant Ted Dionne, Durham Regional
Police Services, 10h Division,77 Centre Street North, Oshawa, L1G 4137—
thanked Members of Council for their commitment and cooperation stating
that a safe community can be achieved through the participation and
cooperation of all partners;namely Council,the citizens of the municipality
and its industrial partners. They highlighted some of the statistics contained
in the Durham Regional Police Services Report and noted that the staff
complement will increase to 49 in 1999. The Police Services have acquired a
new computer system which will have the capability of keeping statistics on
specific problematic areas in the municipality. Within four to six weeks,a
new staff person will be working with the Regional Engineers to create and
amend traffic signalization to create safer vehicular routes.
(b) Inspector Ross Smith,Staff Sergeant Ted Dionne and Carol Johnson,
Durham Regional Police Services, 16`h Division,77 Centre Street North,
Oshawa, L1G 4137—Staff Sergeant Ted Dionne introduced Carol Johnson
who has for many years been in charge of an organization called"Crime
Concerns" in the City of Toronto. She has also been actively involved in the
promotion of crime prevention in the Region of Durham. Ms. Johnson stated
that the community and Police Services work together to problem solve under j
the scenario of a Community Police Liaison Committee. Through the use of
an overhead projector, she defined the mission of a Community Police Liaison
Committee which is to encourage mutual trust through understanding, shared
knowledge and involvement which will lead to a meaningful partnership to
maintain safety and security. She cited the story of a community which was
experiencing problems with prostitution and drug trafficking in its park.
Police were asked to patrol the park but as soon as the police left,the
offenders returned to the park. The residents made a decision to take positive
action and actively use the park. Over a period of time, the unwanted
individuals left and the community was once again able to have full use of its
park. She noted that she hopes Council will support the concept of a
Community Police Liaison Committee and offered to help. Staff Sergeant
Ted Dionne advised that Community Day in partnership with the
Bowmanville Optimist Club will be held on June 19, 1999,along with the
Rubber Duck Derby and invited everyone to attend and participate.
DELEGATIONS
(a) Alex Artuchov, Hyperion Group Inc.,789 Don Mills Road,Don Mills, M3C 1T5
noted the following points with respect to Report PD-36-99:
• He hopes that Council will respect the draft plan approval which has been
received;
• In his estimation,to increase the size of garages would be an"architect's
nightmare" and further encourage pack rats;and
• Widening townhouses from 6 to 7.5 metres will not solve the parking problem. He
suggested that setback be increased and that longer driveways which will
accommodate two cars be created or that rear lanes be created leading to a garage
in the backyard.

(b) Wayne Clarke and Jamie McInnis, Durham Homebuilders Association, P.O. Box
26064,206 King Street,Oshawa, L1H 1C0 re: Report PD-36-99—Mr. McInnis
suggested that vehicles be parked in tandem and that sidewalks not be installed on the
"townhouse"side of the street. He would be willing to cooperate with increasing the
size of garages from 166 sq ft to 200 sq ft. He referred to his letter to the Municipality
wherein he stated all of his concerns pertaining to the contents of Report PD-36-99.
Mr.Clarke made reference to two sets of photographs which he distributed to Members
of the Committee. One scenario reflected a townhouse project where the concept of
7.5 metres was adopted;the other scenario being the regular 6 metre townhouses. He
noted that, in the subdivision with the wider townhouses,the problem of parking had
not been solved. He advised that increasing the standard to 7.5 metres would be
financially onerous on the industry.
(c) Debbie Clarke,Valiant Property Management UDI, 177 Nonquon Road,20`h
Floor,Oshawa,L2G 3S2—advised prior to the meeting that she would not be in
attendance.
i
(d) Kelvin Whalen, 1029 McNicoll Avenue,Scarborough,M1 W 3W6—advised that he
is willing to generally abide by and cooperate with the staff requirements in Report
PD-36-99,however he noted the following concerns:
• That Council will respect the sanctity of the draft approved plan;
• Increasing the size of the townhouses from 6 metres to 7.5 metres will not allow
two vehicles to park side by side;
• He agrees with the concept of rear laneways and longer driveways which would
allow for two parked cars. He noted that to adopt the 7.5 metre width would create
a loss in the efficiency of the land;
• He agreed with Mr. McInnis's statement that the size of garages could be
increased to 200 sq ft; and
• He noted that rear laneways could be used in selective situations however the
placement of a garage in the backyard would decrease the useable yard space and
perhaps also create a dangerous situation at night when parking a car.

(f) Jan Brown,Clarington Kids,2950 Courtice Road North,Courtice, LIE 2118 -
advised that she has met with staff and expressed her concerns pertaining to the
Municipality of Clarington holding Summer Camp for children in the Courtice
Community Complex. She has held her daycare there and has a five-year lease with
the Municipality of Clarington in the Courtice Community Complex and in her view,
the Municipality is duplicating her efforts at a lower price and is therefore in direct
competition with the services which she is offering to the residents of Courtice. She
noted that her Summer Camp and Winter Playground subsidize the regular daycare
which she offers year round. She cannot afford to offer the Summer Camp Program to
her customers for a lower price. She stated that the banquet facility cannot
accommodate 120 children because of daycare regulations and conflict will arise
because the same complex would be used for both Summer Programs.
Councillor Novak chaired this portion of the meeting.
PUBLIC MEETINGS

like to see the zonings remain as they presently exist in downtown Orono with some
flexibility being allowed for certain cases. The store which is now vacant should

Mabel Ubsdell,5348 Main Street, Box 407,Orono, LOB 1 MO- requested that
Councillor Mutton read her letter into the record that she was not able to attend the

effect of the application is to permit 10.5 metre frontage single family

Meeting: General Purpose and Administration Committee File #
Date: Monday, May 17, 1999 Res. #
Report #: PD-45-99 File #: SBA 99-001 By-law #
Subject: SIGN BY-LAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION
APPLICANT: WILLIAMS COFFEE PUB
PART LOT 35, CONCESSION 2, FORMER TOWNSHIP OF DARLINGTON
FILE NO.: SBA 99-001
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-45-99 be received;
2. THAT application for minor variance to the Municipality of Clarington Sign By-law
97-157, submitted by Pride Signs Limited on behalf of Williams Coffee Pub, to
permit an on-site directional sign having a sign area of 1.48 m2 ( 2 by 8 ft.), attached
to the rear (east) wall of the building be APPROVED; and
3. THAT all interested parties listed in this report and any delegations be advised of
Council's decision.
1 . BACKGROUND AND PROPOSED AMENDMENT
On April 7, 1999, the Municipality received an application to amend Sign By-law
97-157, submitted by Pride Signs Limited on behalf of Williams Coffee Pub.
Williams Coffee Pub opened their establishment about six (6) months ago as a
stand-along building with a drive-thru, within the Townline Centre Plaza. Sign
permits have been issued for two (2) wall signs (west and south building elevations),
three (3) on-site directional signs and a menu board sign. In addition, there is
currently a mobile sign on the site, as well as two (2) banners advertising the drive-
thru, attached to the front and rear of the building for which sign permits have not
been issued.
601
REPORT PD-45-99 PAGE 2
The proposed amendment is to permit a fourth directional sign mounted on the rear
wall of the building. The proposed sign would be 8 ft. by 2 ft. (16 sq. ft.) and is to
read "Drive-Thru" with the Williams Coffee Pub symbol (see Attachment No. 2).
2. SIGN BY-LAW PROVISIONS
The provisions of the sign by-law permits an unlimited number of on-site directional
signs, however each directional sign is limited to a sign area of 0.3 m2 (3.2 sq. ft.).
The applicant is applying for a sign area of 1.48 m2(16 sq.ft.) for the proposed sign.
3. APPLICANT'S RATIONALE
The applicant has suggested that although they understand the Municipality's desire
to minimize the number of signs per development, they believe the proposed sign is
small and is proposed on an elevation that currently has no signage. They believe it
is important to inform the public of who they are, and what they have available,
such as a drive-thru. The proposed sign would be visible to westbound traffic and
hopefully contribute to the success of this location. In addition, they suggest that
"Williams Coffee Pub successfully portrays their image in the marketplace as they
grow, and exterior signage certainly plays an important part in this process".
Furthermore, they advise that at a location in Etobicoke "sales increased by 18%
almost overnight after additional Drive-Thru signage was installed"
4. STAFF COMMENTS
The existing identification signs, located on the west and south building elevations,
stylishly portray the William Coffee Pub name and logo, without overpowering the
development. Similarly the existing directional signs are not considered obtrusive.
The east building elevation, where the sign is proposed to be located is the rear of
the building and presently has no sign. The proposed sign on this elevation, as
proposed, is not considered to negatively impact the architecture of the building or
to provide an excess amount of signage for the development.
602
REPORT PD-45-99 PAGE 3
Staff do not object to allowing a directional sign, 2 ft. by 8 ft. to be located on the
rear wall as shown on Attachment No. 3. However, prior to issuance of a building
permit for the proposed sign, the applicant must remove all signs for which a sign
permit has not been issued.
5. LEGISLATION
Section 210 of the Municipal Act, Subsection 146 (g) allows Council to authorize
minor variances to the Sign By-law, if in the opinion of Council the general intent
and purpose of the by-law is maintained.
6. CONCLUSION
In consideration of the comments contained in this report, Staff recommends that a
minor variance to the Sign By-law be approved to permit an on-site directional sign
having a sign area of 1.48 m2 ( 2 by 8 ft.) attached to the rear wall of the existing
building.

Attn: Carlo Pellarin
Re: Sign Variance application for Williams Coffee Pub "Drive-Thru" sign
Dear Carlo:
Please accept this letter as a request for a variance for an additional "DRIVE-THRU' sign
located on the rear elevation of the building and having 16 ft2 (1.19m2) in sign area.
We understand that the City considers this sign to be a directional sign and would only allow
0.3m2 in sign area. Also the by-law tries to keep the amount of signage to a minimum on the
property. However, the proposed sign is very small and would be placed on the elevation that
currently has no signage. The proposed sign will be visible to on coming traffic and hopefully
contribute to the success of this location.
During implementation of the proposed site, Williams Coffee Pub has been very co-operative in
regards to compliance with all local by-laws and regulations. This is true in all aspects including
building permits and codes as well as exterior signage restrictions.
Williams Coffee Pubs successfully portray their image in the marketplace as they grow, and
exterior signage certainly plays an important part in this process. The operations are first class
and have been established as not only a "coffee and donut shop", but a comfortable place to dine.
Due to strong competition, it is important to inform the public of who they are, what they do and
what they have available, such as a Drive-Thru.
Williams is also proud to employ many people from your local community and hope to expend
even more in the future.
A very special note of interest is that at another location in Etobicoke, sales increased by 18%
almost overnight after additional Drive-Thru signage was installed.
I trust that this application will meet your approval and your recommendation will be forwarded
to council members for adoption.
Regards,
Svetlana Levant

610
REPORT PD-46-99 PAGE 2
7. THAT the Region of Durham Planning Department, all interested parties listed in this
report and any delegations be advised of Council's decision.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 Urban Strategies Inc. and Totten Sims Hubicki have recently prepared new urban design
guidelines and a transportation review of the Bowmanville West Main Central Area
(BWMCA) and the West Bowmanville Gateway (WBG). These studies were prepared in
response to applications submitted by 800769 Ontario Limited and Green Martin
Developments Limited/Green Martin Properties Limited on the north side of Highway 2
on both sides of Green Road.
i
1.2 Meetings were held with the two- contributing landowners, the Region of Durham
Planning Department and Works Department, Clarington Public Works and Planning Staff
and the consultants throughout the study process to resolve any issues that arose.
1.3 The Study was completed with a presentation before the General Purpose and
Administration Committee on March 1, 1999. Subsequently a public meeting on the
resultant proposed Official Plan Amendment was held on April 19, 1999.
i
2. PLANNING APPLICATIONS
2.1 800769 Ontairo Limited
800769 Ontario Limited has acquired approximately 4.2 hectares of land at the northeast
corner of Highway 2 and Green Road, which is currently designated "Medium Density
Residential" and "High Density Residential". The original Official Plan Amendment
Application (COPA 97-003) requested entertainment commercial uses. The application
has since been revised to request a retail commercial designation. Two other properties
are also being considered for retail uses in conjunction with this application.
611
REPORT PD-46-99 PAGE 3
2.2 Green Martin Developments Limited and Green Martin Properties Limited (The Kaitlin
Group Limited)
The Kaitlin Group Limited submitted subdivision and rezoning applications for highway
commercial development and a visitor information centre within the limits of the West
Bowmanville Gateway. The Official Plan permits highway commercial uses within this
area. These applications were approved by Council on April 26, 1999. Site plan
applications are anticipated shortly.
3. TRAFFIC STUDY
3.1 Totten Sims Hubicki assessed the transportation impacts of the proposed land use changes
in the Bowmanville West Main Central Area and West Bowmanville Gateway. The
Official Plan policies for the Bowmanville West Main Central Area are based on a
connective grid system of roads. The current study continues to support the grid network
and requires that components of the internal road network be completed corresponding
i
to, or in advance of, land development in order that a good level of transportation is
maintained in the area.
3.2 The study confirmed that east-west collector roads parallel to Highway 2 were necessary.
On the north side, a collector would extend from Regional Road 57 to the future Boswell
Drive extension. The proposal reintroduces a collector road that was originally provided
for along the road allowance between Concession 1 and 2 from Regional Road 57 to the
Boswell Drive extension. Without the benefit of a traffic study, the road was eliminated
to allow for future expansion of the community park. The need for this road section was
further reinforced by the designation of additional commercial uses in the West
Bowmanville Gateway.
3.3 The new Uptown Avenue alignment will connect the Durham Regional Police Station,
Garnet B. Rickard Complex, Ken Hoopr Memorial Fire Station, the baseball diamonds,
the theatre, and future commercial development in the area. Different alignments were
considered that traversed the existing and expanded park. While the Community Services
612
REPORT PD-46-99 PAGE 4
Department has indicated their concerns with the proposal, it is recognized that this link
is critical to the transportation system.
3.4 The design of the selected alignment achieves the long-term transportation objectives
while, in the short term, not impacting the existing baseball'diamonds and permitting the
proposed skateboard park facility. Furthermore, it provides a defined entrance to the
Community Park and Rickard Complex from the west. The road will be well-treed,
providing a parkway setting intended to reinforce its function as an access to recreational
facilities.
4. URBAN DESIGN CONCEPT PLAN
4.1 New urban design guidelines have been prepared for the following reasons:
• Replace and expand upon the existing Urban Design Guidelines in response to the
proposed expansion of the Bowmanville West Main Central Area boundary and the'
application for retail commercial uses by 800769 Ontario Limited;
Provide urban design guidelines prior to the approval of development within the West;
Bowmanville Gateway; and
• Develop criteria for the integration of development in the West Bowmanville Gateway,
with the Bowmanville West Main Central Area.
4.2 The urban design guidelines are organized into the following sections, providing"
guidance for each urban design component.
Street Network: The street network has been designed to maximize connectivity and,
integration between the Bowmanville West Main Central Area and the West Bowmanville
Gateway. It consists of public roads, private roads, major service lanes and service lanes.
Design Precincts: The concept plan creates design precincts with unique urban design;
characteristics to create identity, amenity, and harmony within the district. Design
precincts are established for the commercial areas along Highway 2 and Clarington
Boulevard, community use areas and residential areas.
613
REPORT PD-46-99 PAGE 5
Built Form and Massing: The guidelines provide direction on siting, orientation, massing
and articulation of the built form.
Streetscape Hierarchy: The plan contemplates a series of streetscape linked to open
spaces that establishes a framework for pedestrian areas. The streetscapes will provide an
attractive image and character for areas along Highway 2, Clarington Boulevard, Uptown
Avenue, public streets, lanes and special streetscapes.
Open Space: The development of open space areas will reinforce the mixed use nature
of the Bowmanville West Main Central Area and provide opportunities for active and
passive recreational pursuits.
4.3 The urban design concept plan was reviewed in detail during the report and presentation
of March 1, 1999. Staff is recommending the approval of the document prepared by
Urban Strategies entitled "A Framework for Development: Urban Design Principles and
Guidelines for the Bowmanville West Main Central Area and the West Bowmanville
Gateway". One change to the text is recommended which adds a new sentence to the
end of Section 3.6.71 which states the following:
"The exact configuration of the School Site and the medium density residential area
will be determined through the subwatershed study and neighbourhood design plans
for Brookhill Neighbourhood".
5. PROPOSED CLARINGTON OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT
5.1 The proposed amendment to the Clarington Official Plan incorporates issues raised
through the urban design and transportation study process. The amendment proposes the
following changes:
• The boundary of the Bowmanville West Main Central Area is extended to include the
public secondary school and the entire community park lands associated with the
Garnet B. Rickard Complex.
• Uptown Avenue is realigned between Clarington Boulevard and Green Road and
extended eastward to Regional Road 57. Related adjustments to other streets are also
included.
614
REPORT PD-46-99 PAGE 6
• Lands at the northeast corner of Highway 2 and Green Road are redesignated from
"Medium Density Residential" and "High Density Residential" to "Retail
Commercial". The long term floor space index for development is 0.50. No retail
floorspace is allocated to these lands at this time.
• "Future Streets" are renamed as "Private Streets". These policies are also extended to
the north side of Highway 2 within the West Main Central Area.
• Certain restrictions on the type of retail uses for commercial lands west of the Garnet
B. Rickard Complex are removed.
• Development phasing policies for the former Markborough lands are removed from
the Plan because the development has been constructed.
• The owners of Special Policy Area "H" lands are required to provide 0.5 hectares of
land to the Municipality for future public use, instead of the intended tourist
information centre.
6. PUBLIC MEETINGS 4
6.1 A Public Meeting on the application by 800769 Ontario Limited was held on May 5,
1997. At that time, the application had proposed entertainment and recreational uses.
Markborough Properties submitted a letter indicating that they would reserve comments
until the proposed uses became more defined.
Dr. Corbo, an adjacent landowner, was concerned about servicing of the new lands with.__
roads, the vagueness of the proposed entertainment and recreational uses, and the
proposed parkette located on the owner's property. He suggested that the parkette was'
not appropriate of their lands.
Collin and Helen Soutter, another adjacent landowner, attended the meeting and
indicated that the proposal compromises the enjoyment of their property. They requested)
that their lands be included within the official plan amendment application for
entertainment and recreational uses.
615
REPORT PD-46-99 PAGE 7
6.2 A Public Meeting on the Municipality's proposed Official Plan Amendment was held on
April 19, 1999 to obtain input from surrounding landowners and residents.
• The agent for 800769 Ontario Limited spoke in favour of the application.
• An agent for The Kaitlin Group indicated that if additional lands are being considered
for redesignation on the north side of Highway 2, then commercially designated lands
on the south side should also be considered in the analysis.
6.3 A letter was received from the agent for The Kaitlin Group Limited that indicated no
objection to the proposed amendment provided that no retail floorspace was allocated
until the population target of 78,000'was reached. The letter also indicated the following
points.
• The proposed amendment would permit future commercial development to proceed
at a lower density. This provides rationale for the redesignation of additional lands in
the future.
• A more comprehensive approach to redesignating additional commercial lands should
have been undertaken. Given that such an approach was not undertaken, this
amendment would be considered as a precedent for a similar application on the south
side of Highway 2.
7. AGENCY COMMENTS
7.1 The application was circulated to various agencies for comment. The Public Works and
i
Fire Departments have no objections to the proposed amendment.
7.2 The Durham Region Planning and Public Works Departments have provided the
following comments:
• The Provincial Policy Statement encourages residential intensification within urban
areas that contain sufficient or planned infrastructure.
• The Secondary Plan provides retail floorspace thresholds related to population. The
Region requests that a further amendment be required to allocate additional retail
floorspace once the population reaches 78,000 persons. A retail market study must
provide justification for allocation of retail floorspace.
616
REPORT PD-46-99 PAGE 8
• The Region continues to support the development of medium and high density
residential uses within the Bowmanville West Main Central Area. The Municipality is
encouraged to investigate alternative higher density residential areas as a means to
stay on course with current housing and population targets. This would continue to
support other planned Central Areas.
• The Region is concerned that the proposed lower fsi would entrench low density
plaza style development. The Region supports higher fsi requirements to encourage
long-term development at higher densities.
• The Regional Public Works Department has received a draft copy of the transportation
study. Further comments relating to this study will be forwarded as soon as possible.
7.3 Central Lake Ontario Conservation has no objections in principle to the application but
offers the following comments. Although the expansion of the BWMCA poses no
difficulties, development of lands for a park and school could increase the amount of
impervious area. These lands are considered within the drainage area of a tributary of the
Bowmanville Creek for which no subwatershed study has been completed. Prior to
development of these lands, a subwatershed plan should be considered.
The extension of Uptown Avenue to Regional Road 57 would result in its passing through
the valley and hazard lands of the Bowmanville Creek tributary. An impact study should
be prepared to determine the best location and type of crossing prior to establishing the
final location of the roadway.
Although the redesignation of lands from residential to commercial uses is supported in
principle, the Westside Creek Master Drainage Plan and Addendum have not accounted
for runoff from this type of development. The developer will be required to update the
Westside Creek Master Drainage Plan and Addendum and implement runoff controls to
reflect commercial uses prior to development.
7.4 Although the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board has not indicated any structural
difficulties with the amendment, they have reiterated their desire for a site configuration
where they only have to negotiate with one landowner. A subsequent letter identified a
617
REPORT PD-46-99 PAGE 9
smaller school of 15 ac fronting onto Clarington Boulevard. This matter is discussed
further in Section 8.2 of this Report.
8. STAFF COMMENTS
8.1 Expansion of Bowmanville West Main Central Area
The existing BWMCA secondary plan boundary was developed through Official Plan
Amendment #56 to the Town of Newcastle Official Plan. The Ontario Municipal Board
subsequently approved this amendment, which was incorporated into the Clarington
Official Plan as a secondary plan. Since it predates the new Clarington Official Plan, the
exercise did not examine the integration of surrounding uses to the north.
The BWMCA Secondary Plan currently does not include the public secondary school and
the community park expansion. Main Central Areas provide a multitude of uses including
institutional and recreational facilities. Both facilities would function as part of this
Central Area and reinforce the mixed use focus of the designation. Staff propose to
extend the BWMCA boundary to include the public secondary school, the community
park expansion area, and the medium density residential designation.
i
The proposed changes will not impact the Municipality or adjacent landowners north of
the existing BWMCA. The school board will also benefit from the relocated site. The
existing location indicates the school fronting on Green Road; however, services would
not be immediately available from Green Road. Services have been sized and
constructed within the Clarington Boulevard road allowance to serve the Brookhill
Neighbourhood to the north. In relocating the school farther south along Clarington
Boulevard, the public board decreases its service extension costs.
8.2 Special Policy Area for the Secondary School Site
The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board has indicated their desire to obtain sites
where negotiations with only one landowner are necessary. The property configuration
requires the Board to deal with three landowners. Although various site configurations
618
REPORT PD-46-99 PAGE 10
have been suggested, the issue is complicated by a stream tributary and incomplete
information due to the lack of a subwatershed study. It would be more appropriate to
resolve the site configuration at the neighbourhood design phase. As a result, the
"Special Policy Area" designation is recommended for the area. The precise school site
location and medium density residential configuration will be determined through the
subwatershed and neighbourhood design studies for the Brookhill Neighbourhood. The '
policy indicates that a further amendment of the secondary plan is not necessary.
8.3 Changes to Uptown Avenue
Uptown Avenue currently extends from Green Road to the western extent of the Garnet
B. Rickard Complex, forming a mid-block roadway for the north side of the West Main
Central Area.
Street "H" is a collector that follows the northern boundary of the BWMCA only between
Clarington Boulevard and Green Road. This road then extends west towards the future
extension of Boswell Drive, forming the northern boundary of Special Policy Area "H".
Staff propose that Uptown Avenue be realigned west from its present location at,
Clarington Boulevard to the present intersection of Green Road and Street "H". In
addition, Uptown Avenue is to be extended easterly to the north of the Garnet B. Rickard;
Complex and the Durham Regional Police station to Regional Road 57. This extension'
would follow the unopened Concession 2 road allowance.
The benefits of realigning and extending Uptown Avenue are as follows:
• traffic congestion issues at the Clarington Boulevard and Highway 2 intersection will
be relieved by providing an alternative route to Highway 2.
• This road will reinforce the grid road network.
• Improved access for the Fire Department to the north and provide additional road'
frontage for the Durham Regional police station.
619
REPORT PD-46-99 PAGE 11
The extension to Uptown Avenue will separate the active field areas from the indoor
facilities at the Garnet B. Rickard Complex and the community park. The plan proposes a
focal point at the west entrance to GBRC that could also function as a passenger drop-off.
This would consist of a vertical element such as a clock tower and landscaping. Links to
the open space area along the creek and walkway connections to the Brookhill
Neighbourhood are shown on the plan. The plan provides potential siting of baseball
diamonds, skateboard park, open air facilities and parking lots.
8.4 Implementation of Road Network in BWMCA and WBG
The road network will be developed in conjunction with development of individual
properties and generally be the responsibility of individual land owners. Provided the
integrity of the grid system is maintained through site specific developments, this
approach will ensure that an acceptable level of service can be sustained.
The extension of Uptown Avenue between Clarington Boulevard and Regional Road 57
will be the one exception to this. This section of road will traverse the Community Park
and therefore be the Municipality's responsibility. It is expected this section or road will
be included in the Municipality's 10 year capital works/forecast and financed through
Development Charges.
8.5 Designation of Additional Retail Commercial Lands
The amendment proposes to redesignate approximately 4.8 hectares (12 acres) of land at
the northeast corner of Highway 2 and Green Road from "Medium Density Residential"
and "High Density Residential" to "Retail Commercial". In consideration of the
comments of the Region and the general intent of the Main Central Area designation, the
density of development would be more appropriate at 0.5 fsi. This is the same density as
permitted on other designated commercial sites in the BWMCA, not the 0.25 fsi as
proposed originally. The lands to be redesignated include approximately 4.2 hectares is
owned by 800769 Ontario Limited, the company that has initiated the commercial
620
REPORT PD-46-99 PAGE 12
Through the official plan review process, The Kaitlin Group Limited approached Council '
and had the area now known as Special Policy Area "H" successfully redesignated from
residential to highway commercial uses. The residential lands are now surrounded by
commercial designations to the west, south and east. Staff feel that a residential
designation is less appropriate now since these lands are surrounded by commercial
development on three sides.
Staff remain very concerned about the impact of commercial development in the West,
Main Central Area on the existing downtown and other parts of the East Main Central
Area. It was for these reasons that the BWCA Secondary Plan contains retail threshold
policies that release the long-term floor space density on the basis of population growth.
The threshold mechanism allows for rezoning of lands at such time as the population
levels warrant. The threshold mechanism can be reviewed by the Municipality from time
to time to ensure that it remains valid.
The Ontario Municipal Board initially allocated 27,000 sq. m. of retail commercial floor
space at the hearing to three sites. This was in addition to the Canadian Tire site, which
had been previously zoned. Once the Clarington population reaches 78,000 persons, al
small additional amount of floor space can be rezoned. As the Clarington population
approaches 94,000, an additional 14,000 sq. m. will be available for rezoning.
While the proposed amendment provide for an ultimate potential of an additional 17,850'
sq. m. of retail floorspace (using a floor space index of 0.50), the zoning of this floor
space is governed by other policies of the Official Plan and the Secondary Plan:
• Section 10.3.6 of the Official Plan requires a retail impact study prior to approval of
any rezoning application greater than 2,500 sq. m.
• Section 4.2 of the Secondary Plan permits a maximum of 40,000 sq. metres of the
"ultimate density" within the West Main Central Area to be used until such time as a
comprehensive review is undertaken; and
621
REPORT PD-46-99 PAGE 13
• Section 4.2 of the Secondary Plan permits a maximum of 40,000 sq: metres of the
"ultimate density" within the West Main Central Area to be used until such time as a
comprehensive review is undertaken; and
• Section 5.2.4 of the Secondary Plan provides population thresholds for the release of
additional retail floorspace through rezoning.
Given the above, staff support the redesignation to retail commercial uses. This includes
the maintenance of the existing floorspace density of 0.50 fsi and the retention of mixed-
use concept. Staff concur with the Region's comments that the lower fsi as indicated in
the Proposed Amendment would entrench a low density plaza style development and not
allow for ongoing development and redevelopment to achieve higher densities.
Unlike the submissions of Kaitlin's representatives, Staff do not believe that this
amendment is a precedent for a similar application for the lands on the south side of
Highway 2. It is a unique situation.
i
8.6 Reduction of Housing Targets
With the redesignation of lands from residential to commercial uses and the incorporation
of certain lands from Brookhill Neighbouhood into the West Main Central Area,
Amendment No. 14 will adjust the housing targets. A medium density area from the
Brookhill Neighbourhood is incorporated into the West Main Central Area. There is a net
loss of 75 units, even though the number of medium density units within the West Main
Central Area shows no change. High density units within the West Main Central Area
would be reduced by 200. The housing targets include an allowance for mixed use
development on the Retail Commercial area.
The Official Plan encourages a mix of housing forms consisting of 70% low density
(single and semi-detached units), 20% medium density (townhouses and walk-up
apartments), and 10% high density (apartments). The housing mix for specific
neighbourhoods may vary from this ratio.
622
REPORT PD-46-99 PAGE 14
The overall effect of the proposed amendment is as follows:
Low Density Medium Density High Density
Existing Official Plan 70.9% 19.4% 9.7%
Amendment No. 14 71.4% 19.4% 9.2%
The Durham Region Planning Department has expressed some concern regarding the!
removal of housing from the Main Central Area as follows:
• The deletion of housing units within the BWMCA results could mean that the housing;
targets by type may not be achieved.
• The deletion of housing units erodes the mixture of uses intended for the Main Central"
Areas.
While Staff have some concerns about the reduction of higher density housing'
opportunities, there remains a substantial amount of land designated for this purpose.]
Moreover, given the decision to add Special Policy Area H at the time of the Official Plan,
the lands at Green Road and Highway 2 are less desireable for that purpose. The West;
Main Central Area contains a wide array of uses, even with this reduction in housing.
i
8.7 Expanded Range of Retail Commercial Uses on Clarington Place Lands
The commercial policies in the BWMCA Secondary Plan currently exclude clothing,!
shoe, jewellery fashion accessory, yarn and fabric, hardware, furniture, and home
furnishing stores on the Clarington Place (also known as Willsonia Industries) lands. This!
policy was approved by the Ontario Municipal Board in 1994 based on the retail market
evidence as submitted by the retail consultant for Clarington Place. The report indicated['
that sufficient market would be available by 1998 to support these uses on the Clarington
Place lands. In order to permit Willsonia to attract an increased array of uses, Staff
support Willsonia's request to delete policy limiting retail uses (Section
5.2.1 a) (ii)).
623
REPORT PD-46-99 PAGE 15
8.8 Tourist Information Centre Requirement
The provisions of Special Policy Area "H" requires The Kaitlin Group Limited to construct
a tourist information centre to the Municipality's satisfaction on a site no less than 0.5
hectares. The land must also be conveyed to the Municipality for a nominal fee.
The policy formalized the developer's submission to provide Municipality with a new
tourist information centre at the entrance to Bowmanville and designate the lands for a
business park. Since the Municipality has recently constructed a new tourist information
centre on the east side of Liberty Street near Highway 401, a second tourist information
centre will not likely be required. The proposed amendment provides that the site would
remain available for any public use by the Municipality. The draft approval for the
commercial plan of subdivision 18T-98004 recently approved by Council, requires the
conveyance of these lands.
8.9 Subwatershed Study Requirements
Commercial development in the BWMCA to date has proceeded on the basis of the
Westside Creek Master Drainage Plan and Addendum. These documents provide the
necessary approvals for stormwater management in the area. The Conservation Authority
has indicated that development on lands owned by 800769 Ontario Limited can only
proceed once these documents are amended to reflect commercial uses. A subwatershed
study for the tributary to the Bowmanville Creek must be completed prior to development
of these uses.
9. CONCLUSIONS
9.1 Based on the comments contained in the above-mentioned report, Staff would
respectfully request that Council approve the Official Plan Amendment 14 and adopt the
Urban Design Guidelines. This will provide a comprehensive design framework for the
Bowmanville West Main Central Area and West Bowmanville Gateway as prepared by
Urban Strategies.

Boulevard and extended eastward to Regional Road 57 and related
adjustments to other streets.
• Lands at the northeast corner of Highway 2 and Green Road are
redesignated from "Medium Density Residential" and "High

allow the development of retail commercial uses within the
Bowmanville West Main Central Area, no retail floorspace can be
allocated to the project at this time.
• Policies are added regarding private streets.
• Certain restrictions on the type of retail uses for commercial lands
west of the Garnet B. Rickard Complex are removed.
• Policies for dedication of lands in Special Policy Area "H" are
changed.

1. APPLICATION DETAILS
1.1 Applicant: 1307227 Ontario Inc.
1.2 Agent: Robert Best
1.3 Severance: to create two (2) semi-detached/link lots fronting on Westmore Street
retaining a lot with 15 m frontage, fronting on Courtice Road.
1.4 Area: 2423 mz (0.6 acres)
2. LOCATION
2.1 The subject property is an existing lot located on the south west corner of Courtice
4Zf,
REPORT PD-48-9% PAGE 2
Road and Westmore Street. The property is further described as being in Part Lot
29, Concession 3, former Township of Darlington
3. BACKGROUND
3.1 On' December 2, 1998, a request for comments was first received from the Durham
Land Division Committee (LDC) for a total of four severance applications (LD
328/99 to LID 331/98) on the property located on the south west corner of Courtice
Road and Westmore Street. The applications originally proposed to create four (4)
semi-detached/link lots (8 dwelling units), with 18.0 m minimum frontage on
Westmore Street and retain a 15.0 m minimum frontage single detached dwelling
lot fronting on Courtice Road. The Municipality's comments to the LDC identified
various issues with the proposed severances and recommended tabling the
applications. At their December 18, 1998 meeting the LDC tabled the applications.
3.2 The applicant met the Planning Staff following the December meeting. The
applicant agreed to revise the submissions to include one (1) 15 m, minimum
frontage single detached dwelling lot and three semi detached/link lots fronting on
Westmore Street and one (1) 15 m, minimum frontage single detached dwelling lot
fronting on Courtice Road (total of 8 units). Staff again requested tabling of the
applications as a result of unresolved transportation issues, as well as the concerns
with the creation of a proposed lot fronting on Courtice Road. The applications
were tabled for a further two (2) months.
3.3 On April 19, 1999 the LDC approved the applications, allowing the creation of a
total of eight (8) units as described above. The issue of access to Courtice Road
remains unresolved.
3.4 The lot is currently accessed from Westmore Street, and there is no driveway from
Courtice Road. Courtice Road is identified as a Type "A" arterial road in the
636
REPORT PD-48-9% PAGE 3
Clarington Official Plan. The policies of the Plan permit one private access every
200 metres of frontage on Type A arterial roads in the urban areas. There currently
exists two entrances to Courtice Road between the subject property and Nash Road
to the south, a distance of less than 200 m.
3.5 The applicant has suggested that a driveway once existed on Courtice Road and the
approval of this application is renewing its use. Although it is probable that the lot
contained an access to Courtice Road at one time, such an access is not visible
today and does not appear to have actively been used for a number of years. In
addition, there are additional existing lots with frontage on Courtice Road that could
benefit from the precedence established by allowing an access onto a Type A
arterial road contrary to the Official Plan policies.
3.6 Staff suggested that LD 330/98 and LD 331/98, proposed semi-detached/link lots be
amended to extend from Westmore Street to the south of the property line, thereby
eliminating the proposed lot fronting on Courtice Road.
3.7 Discussions with Regional Planning Staff confirm that a report is being forwarded to
the Planning Committee meeting of May 11, 1999, recommending appeal of the
two applications. The last day of appeal is May 18, 1999. As a result of the timing,
Staff have forwarded a letter of appeal directly to the Secretary-Treasurer of the Land
Division Committee. Should Committee and Council not concur with the decision
to appeal, it will be withdrawn.
4. CONCLUSION
4.1 Type A arterial roads are to be designed to provide the highest level of service and
highest vehicle operating speeds. In consideration of the comments contained in
this report and the policies of the Clarington Official Plan it is recommended that
the referenced consent applications be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board.

hearing to defend Committee and-Council's position.

THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON
REPORT
Meeting: General Purpose and Administration Committee File #
Date: Monday, May 17, 1999 Res. #
Report #: PD-49-99 File #: PLN 30.9 By-law #
Subject: REQUEST FOR SIX MONTH DEFERRAL ON ALL APPROVALS OF DRAFT
PLAN OF SUBDIVISION AND SITE PLANS
KAWARTHA PINE RIDGE DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
i
recommend to Council the following:
1 . THAT Report PD-49-99 be received for information;
2. THAT the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board and all interested parties listed
in this report and any delegations be advised of Council's decision.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 By letter dated October 15, 1998, Judi Armstrong, Chairperson on behalf of the
Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board requested that Trustee R. Willsher be
permitted to address Council to discuss the following motion that was approved by
the Board at their October 8, 1998 meeting:
"THAT the Board ask the Municipality of Clarington Council not to approve
residential draft plans of subdivision and site plans that are greater than 30
units within the urban area of Bowmanville and Courtice for a period of six
months;
THAT when the current Ontario Municipal Board Hearings involving the
City of Mississauga and the Peel Region Boards of Education are concluded,
Staff from the Municipality of Clarington and the Kawartha Pine Ridge
District School Board meet to discuss further action; and
THAT Trustee Willsher speak on behalf of Kawartha Pine Ridge District
School Board at a Municipality of Clarington Council meeting."
1.2 Mr. Willsher, at Council's October 26, 1998 meeting, expressed the Board's
4 A 1
REPORT PD-49-99, PAGE 2
concern over the current accommodation problem in the Clarington Public Schools.
Through the use of charts, Mr. Willsher illustrated the current and projected
enrolment figures of the various public schools within the Municipality. He
requested that Council, in considering the correspondence of Judi Armstrong, Chair
of the Board not approve residential draft plans of subdivision and site plans that are
greater than 30 units within the urban area of Bowmanville and Courtice for a
period of six months. He also requested that when the current Ontario Municipal
Board Hearings involving the City of Mississauga and the Peel Region Board are
concluded, that Clarington Municipal Staff and Board Administration meet to
discuss further action.
1.3 Council at their October 26, 1998 meeting endorsed the following resolution:
"THAT Correspondence Item D-13 and the presentation of Bob Willsher be
received and referred to the Director of Planning and Development for
review and preparation of a report to be submitted to the General Purpose
and Administration Committee"
1.4 The purpose of this report, in light of the School Board's request, is to highlight the
Municipality's powers and jurisdictional responsibilities with respect to
development of school sites within the Municipality.
2. SUBDIVISION ACTIVITY
2.1 The School Board is seeking Council's support by not approving residential draft
plans of subdivision and site plans that are greater than 30 units for a period of six
months. The delay was to prevent the problem from escalating before current
Ontario Municipal Board Hearings involving the City of Mississauga and the Peel
Region Boards of Education are concluded
2.2 Since Mr. Willsher's presentation to Council last October, no reports have been
forwarded to Committee recommending approval of draft Plans of subdivision, nor
have any site plan applications been approved. The absence of any reports is not
642
REPORT PD-49-99 PAGE 3
related to the School Board's request. Simply put, no applications that would have
met the School Board's criteria have progressed to the stage where approval would
be contemplated. While this is unusual, it technically provided the six month
respite the Board was seeking. Moreover, the Ontario Municipal Board has recently
issued its decision on the referenced hearing in the Region of Peel (See Section
below).
2.3 As of January 1, 1999 there were a total of 5,939 residential units within the
Bowmanville and Courtice Urban Areas that have received draft approved or are
Council-approved, mostly within-plans of subdivision. Even if no new approvals
were granted, these draft plans could proceed at such time that the developer is
prepared to finalize a subdivision agreement.
3. RELEVANT POLICIES
3.1 Provincial Interest under the Planning Act
Under Section 2 of the Planning Act, every decision-making authority (the Minister,
Council, the OMB etc.) "shall have regard" for matters of provincial interest
including "the adequate provision and distribution of educational, health, social,
cultural and recreational facilities." Some parties in the Peel hearing argued that
this created an obligation on planning authorities to make provision that there will
be educational facilities to accommodate projected growth. The Ontario Municipal
Board concluded that this provincial interest would be satisfied if the School Board
is given opportunity to acquire a site. It is possible that the Courts will be called
upon to interpret this section of the Planning Act since the words were changed
under Bill 20 from "equitable distribution of educational facilities" to "adequate
provision and distribution of education facilities
3.2 Clarington Official Plan Policies
3.2.1 The Clarington Official Plan contains numerous policies which guide and manage
the growth of the Municipality consistent with the principles of sustainable
KAY
REPORT PD-49-99A PAGE 4
development and healthy communities. In particular, the Municipality must be
satisfied the following is addressed when considering any draft plan of subdivision
application for approval:
• the sequential development of neighbourhoods and the prevention of "leaping-
frogging" of vacant lands;
• the economic use and extension of all infrastructure and services;
• opportunities to improve housing affordability and diversity, residential
intensification and housing targets for each neighbourhood;
• increased density for new neighbourhoods, having regard for proposed measures
to integrate existing residential areas.
The Plan provides that the Municipality may declare a residential draft plan of
subdivision to be premature and recommend to the Region that it not be approved:
• if the plan does not implement the principles as listed above;
• if the municipal wide non-residential assessment is less that 15 percent of total
assessment;
• if the capital works and services required to service the lands and the future
residents are not within the Municipality's current capital budget or 10 year
capital works forecast; and
• if Council is of the opinion that the Municipality's administrative and financial
resources are not sufficient to provide an adequate level of services for those
residents who would be accommodated in the proposed plan of subdivision as
well as to provide and maintain an adequate level of services for existing
residents.
I
i
3.2.2 One objective of the Official Plan is "to provide for the growth and appropriate
distribution of institutional and community facilities to serve the educational,
health, religious, cultural and social service requirements of the residents". It is one
thing to provide opportunities for these types of essential community services,
including the appropriate geographic distribution, but the Municipality has no
power to implement many of these services including education.
3.2.3 A number of policies contained in the Official Plan were completed in co-operation
with the School Boards to ensure that:
• all existing and proposed school sites were illustrated on the Land Use Maps;
• minimum site area, servicing and locational criteria was established; and
644
REPORT PD-49-99� PAGE 5
• all schools would be sited and designed to provide a visual and functional focus
for the neighbourhood activity.
The Municipality's Official Plan identifies the school sites which will be required to
be available through the development process for purchase by the School Board.
3.3 Subdivision Approval
i
3.3.1 The Region of Durham is currently the approval Authority for draft plans of
subdivision. The School Board, similar to the Municipality is given the opportunity
to provide their comments on all draft plans of subdivision to the Region once an
application is filed.
3.3.2 Under the Planning Act, in considering a draft plan of subdivision the Region is
required to have regard for a number of matters including:
• whether the proposed subdivision is premature or necessary in the public
I interest; and
I
• the adequacy of school sites.
The "adequacy of school sites" has been interpreted by the Court to mean the
adequacy of school site reserved in the plan of subdivision for purchase by the
school boards. It does not give consideration as to whether or not the School Board
is able to purchase the site.
3.4 Site Plan Powers
The Municipality does not have power to refuse to approve a site plan on the basis
of the adequacy of the provision and distribution of educational facilities.
3.5 Development Charges Act
3.5.1 Under the provisions of the Development Charges Act, School Board are delegated
power to pass an Education Charge By-law for the purpose of collecting an
X45
REPORT PD-49-99, PAGE 6
education development charge to be used for the purpose of acquiring new school
"sites" within new residential developments. Under the previous development
charge legislation, development charges could be used to fund the local share of the
entire capital costs.
The development charge would be collected by the Municipality on behalf of the
School Board prior to the issuance of building permits within the respective draft
plan of subdivision. The School Board has not enacted a by-law under the
Development Charges Act.
3.5.2 The funding of new school facilities by grant or otherwise was the subject of a
report prepared by the Ministry of Education and attached to the Peel decision of
the O.M.B. referred to in Section 4 of this report. The report addresses the changes
in funding made by Bill 160. A copy of this report was forwarded to members of
Council by separate memo.
• I
4. PEEL REGION — ONTARIO MUNICIPAL BOARD HEARING
4.1 The issue in dispute before the Ontario Municipal Board hearing in Peel Region was
the power of the Municipality or School Board to deem a draft plan of subdivision
to be premature on the basis that adequate provision and distribution of school
facilities is not available was The condition of draft approval appealed and placed in
dispute by the parties was as follows:
"Prior to final approval, the City (of Mississauga) shall be advised by the
School Boards that satisfactory arrangements regarding the adequate
provision and distribution of educational facilities have been made between
the developer/applicant and the School Boards for this plan."
The impact of this condition is that the School Board would ensure that not only is a
site provided, a facility is constructed. This would mean that the pace of
development would be controlled by the School Board's capital expenditure
program.
646
REPORT PD-49-99 PAGE 7
4.2 The decision of the Ontario Municipal Board hearing was issued on April 29, 1999.
In rendering its decision, the Board noted:
....An Owner's common law right to subdivide land cannot be taken away
unless that power is either express or by necessary implication in the
legislation. There is no express power in Section 51 or Section 2 of the
Planning Act to authorize a condition that would delay the subdivision and
sale of lands at the determination of the school boards until such time as the
boards determine they will provide educational facilities. There is no power
by necessary implication, the power does not of necessity flow from the
words of the Planning Act......"
The Board's decision, in essence, stated that the disputed condition would not be
imposed, based on a lack of jurisdiction to do so under the Planning Act.
It is not known at this time whether the Board's decision will be appealed to the
Courts by the City of Mississauga.
i
5. CONCLUSIONS
5.1 In light of the above comments and decision of the Ontario Municipal Board, it is
I
Staff's position that the Municipality cannot support the request of the Kawartha
Pine Ridge District School Board for a moratorium on subdivision and site plan
approvals. To do so would only result in litigation which the Municipality is bound
to lose. However since the Ontario Municipal Board decision has been issued, Staff
would have be available to meet with the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board Staff,
as requested in the School Board's resolution of October 81 1998.

—Subject: FD-9-99 10.12.6
Y2K COMMITTEE UPDATE
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:
1.) THAT Report FD -9 - 99 be received for information; and
2.) THAT the Y2K Committee recommendations, be adopted.
BACKGROUND:
1.1 The Y2K committee produced a previous report TR- 4-99, in which
recommendations were made related to the closing of facilities and restriction of
vacations for a period leading up to December 31,1999 and the first week in
January 2000. Various discussions have taken place with area Municipalities,
including those in the Region of Durham and the City of Peterborough.
1.2 At the present time no other Municipalities contacted are planning to provide
shelters for residents. They are planning to provide residents with appropriate
information on how to take care of them should a'disruption in various services,
such as hydro or gas,be realized. The Municipality of Clarington has discussed
the possibility of providing such shelters, however the idea was to utilize
Municipal facilities, and therefore not allow the use of these facilities for other
functions.
Continued.....
>YE`NC RECYCLE 9.0.. 1
TI66PN MF(1 ON FECVCIfD PAPEP
1.3 Discussions have taken place with the school boards in the area. Facilities will
not only be required for Y2K, should the Municipality decide to 1-)fovide such
shelters, but will also need to be provided for any non nuclear emergency that
may occur in the Municipality as identified in the Municipality's plan. For this
reason it was decided that schools would provide a much more satisfactory
facility for shelters, as they are better equipped for these functions. They have
various rooms to allow for the accommodation of groups in smaller numbers
rather than everyone in one large area. Also, shower and kitchen facilities, that
can accommodate larger groups, are available.
1.4 Further discussions will be required related to emergency power. Some of the
sites have restricted power but not sufficient to operate as a shelter. The early
discussions with board representatives have opened the possibility of
considerations for joint ventures regarding the provision of emergency power.
The provision of generators would provide an asset for both the boards and the
Municipality, in the sites that would be utilized as shelters under the emergency
plan.
The initial thought was to obtain large portable generators that could be stored at
the public works depot in Hampton and moved to a site when required. The sites
could be pre-wired to accept the connections and provide the needed power.
Therefore, should the Municipality choose to utilize these sites, discussions
should proceed on a joint venture for the provision of generators.
1.5 As for closing Municipal facilities, discussion has taken place with the Chief
Administrative Officer and Department Heads. Facilities Manager, Mr. Horvath
has advised that Community Boards are planning on allowing their facilities to be
used on December 31, 1999. After the discussions it was agreed the
recommendation be made that Municipal facilities be permitted to be booked with
the understanding that, should any power failure occur, the parties booking the
facility have plans in place to deal with it.
2. REPORT:
2.1 The Y2K committee has taken all the information available from various groups
and are recommending the following:
1.) It has come to light that sheltering for residents must be addressed for
emergency planning purposes. Should the Municipality decide to provide
sheltering for residents, schools provide the best sites. In this regard, it is
recommended that the Fire Chief be directed to enter into formal
discussions, leading to agreements, with the school boards for the use of
these facilities.
Continued.....
- 3 -
2.) Municipal facilities function as usual for the holiday season including
bookings of the facilities, as long as services are available on January I".
The rental agreement should state that no refunds would be issued in the
event of any unforeseen circumstance.
3.). The only staff who may be directly involved in any Y2K issue would be
public works and fire departments. It is recommended that a restricted
vacation schedule be allowed, at the discretion of the department head,
ensuring that sufficient staff is available. All other municipal departments
should be permitted regular vacation scheduling.
The Region has reviewed its position with regard to vacation scheduling
and will be putting certain staff on standby in each department that could
be affected. The remainder of staff will be permitted to book vacation, as
usual.
4.) It is recommended that three public meetings be held, in the evening, as
follows:
September 16`x' at Municipal Administrative Centre Council Chambers
September 30'h at Newcastle Community Hall
October 6th at Courtice Community Complex
As well as members of the Y2K Committee being present, representatives
from Clarington Hydro, Ontario Hydro, Consumers Gas, Region of
Durham and Durham Regional Police will be invited to make
presentations. Once the agenda for these meetings is complete, it will be
forwarded to member of Council for their information.
5.) Letters will be sent to the Bowmanville Memorial Hospital and Extended
Care Facilities advising that the Y2K Committee will be available to
answer any questions related to Y2K. There will be no formal community
committee set up, as was previously recommended. We will however,
continue to develop a Community Media Sub-committee to ensure
information is made available to the residents.
6.) The staff for Municipal Operations Centre be on call to respond to the
center should the need arise. After discussion with the Chief
Administrative Officer and Department Heads, it was suggested that those
staff members on call should be provided with a replacement day for this
statutory holiday, as they will be required to be available.
Continued.....

7.) Funds should be allocated to provide a second dispatcher on duty at the
Fire Department headquarters to assist with the potential for a large
number of calls for information. It is also recommended that standby
crews of 3 or 4 part-time firefighters (depending on availability) be
approved for the staffing of the unmanned fire stations, between the hours
of 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., December 31, 1999.
8.) As already identified, the departments directly involved will have
contingency plans in effect for Y2K. All other departments will be
responsible for their own operations and produce contingency plans to
ensure no disruptions in service to the public.
9.) Although not specifically a Y2K concern, it is recommended that a
generator be purchased for the Municipal Administration Centre. This will
require investigation as to the size and best manner and location for
installation. Therefore, it is recommended by the Treasurer that funds
should be budgeted, commencing in 2000, for several years, perhaps
through the Property Manager's Capital Budget, to purchase and install
this generator.
10.) It is further recommended that the existing generator, located at the
Municipal Operations Centre, be adapted to provide lights for the bays at
Hampton Works Yard, as well as the ability to pump fuel. Therefore,
funds in the amount of$2,000.00 are set aside for this purpose.
11.) It is also recommended that one large capacity portable generator be
purchased for emergency sheltering purposes. Therefore, it is
recommended that fiends be allocated from account number 7007-2-505
for this purpose.
2.2 It is the consensus of the Y2K Committee that other costs may be identified in the
future. Should this occur, the Committee will report to Council at that time.
2.3 The Region is holding a Y2K meeting on May 19, 1999 at which time
information will be provided as to the level of service it will maintain. At this
time they see no problems with sewer, water, traffic lights, etc.
