G.P. &A. Minutes -2- February 14,2000
PRESENTATION CONT'D.
He introduced Mark Schollen of Schollen and Company who made a presentation with
the use of an overhead projector. The presentation addressed the following:
- Open space plan-storm water management system
- Thunder Bay conceptual plan
- Water quality improvement—Markham Pond
- Water course rehabilitation/creating wetlands as a potential link to stormwater
management and recreation systems
- Develop an overall trail system which would lead to the downtown area
- Relationships to downtown and the Valley lands
- Community involved with taking ownership of the project, i.e. school children
- There are tremendous opportunities for learning about vegetation,wildlife,fish
habitat,etc.
- The plan is designed for active participation by volunteers.
He stated that this is a unique project with a vision to completion in twelve to fifteen
years. Mr. Schollen displayed three maps,of Areas a, b and c of the Bowmanville
Valleys Millennium project and described in detail the various elements of the
restoration of the Bowmanville Creek,streetscape improvements, infill planting on the
banks of the watercourse and community driven undertakings for the successful
completion of this project.
Mr. Lockhart advised that it is the Committee's intention to,this year,give the public
access to the fish ladder,put one wetland in place,make improvements to the parking
lot,provide an information kiosk and start the planting process. He advised that
approximately$40,000 has been spent to date and that this project will tie the heart of
the community to the Waterfront Trail. He requested that Members of the Committee
approve the recommendations contained in Report PD-018-00.
DELEGATIONS
(a) Roy Forrester, -re: Veridian circulated a
document entitled"Veridian's$984,000.00 dividend—no gift for Clarington
customers,"in which he states that..."Clarington is somewhat different from that of
Ajax and Pickering where all taxpayers in the Municipality are also customers of the
hydro system. If Ajax and Pickering Municipalities collect a dividend, it goes back to
the same people who provided the funds in the first place. Taxpayers and hydro users
are the same. This is not the case in Clarington where the 12,000 Veridian Hydro
customers would be providing almost$2,000,000.00 in dividends to the Municipality of
Clarington to provide benefits for the total population and total area of Clarington. It is
not fair for those in the Orono,Newcastle, Bowmanville envelope." He further
suggested that the Municipality return the cheque in the amount of$984,000.00 to
Veridian plus interest in return for the Municipality of Clarington holding in trust the
16%share of Veridian in the interest of the Veridian customers in Orono,Newcastle and
Bowmanville. In his view,any dividends declared in the future would be used in
reducing hydro costs for the taxpayers of Orono,Newcastle and Bowmanville.

4.2 As a result of the public notification process, to date, the Planning and Development
Department has received one counter inquiry and three telephone inquiries. One inquiry
asked what was allowed under the current zoning. Two of the inquiries requested
information on how the development would impact a possible extension of Kennedy
Drive westward to Sandringham Drive.
5. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY
5.1 Within the Clarington Official Plan, the subject property is designated as Urban
Residential Area overlaid by Special Policy Area F. Permitted uses within this
i
designation include community facilities, institutional uses and limited office uses. The
proposed funeral home is similar in nature to the above uses and would appear to
conform to the Official Plan.
I
602
REPORT PD-019-00 PAGE 3
6. ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE
6.1 The subject property is zoned "Urban Residential Type One (Rl)" within Comprehensive
Zoning By-law 84-63. A funeral services establishment is not a permitted use and hence,
this rezoning application.
7. AGENCY COMMENTS
7.1 The rezoning application was circulated to various agencies and other departments by the
Planning and Development Department. Comments received to date are as follows:
• The Ontario Hydro Services Company has no objection to the proposal.
i •
The Clarington Public Works Department noted permission must be obtained from
the Region of Durham for the proposed Highway 2 entrance. Application will have
to be made to Clarington Public Works for the proposed Sandringham Drive entrance.
An appropriate cash contribution in lieu of the normal parkland dedication is
required.
• The Regional Health Department has no objections to the proposal provided the
property is serviced by municipal sanitary sewers and water.
• The Fire Department noted a fire hydrant must be within 90 in of the building
perimeter and recommended that one (1) parking space at the southeast corner of the
property be eliminated to allow improved turning radius for firefighting equipment.
7.2 Comments remain outstanding from: the Regional Works Department; the Regional
Planning Department and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority.
8 STAFF COMMENTS
8.1 The Courtice Corridor Study is commencing. The study area extends along Highway 2
from Townline Road to Hancock Road. This area includes "Special Policy Area F - King
i
Street Corridor" and therefore, the subject property.
8.2 A part of the analysis of this Special Policy Area is the issue of Kennedy Drive and its
potential extension to the west to Sandringham Drive as identified in the original
Courtice South Neighbourhood Plan (see Attachment #3). It is noted that the extension
of Kennedy Drive is currently "blocked" from further extension by the Pine Ridge Motel.
603
REPORT PD-019-00 PAGE 4
While the Neighbourhood Plan was repealed in January 29, 1996, there is no detailed
plan for development of these lands until the study is completed. Staff will be reviewing
this issue further to determine how this proposal would fit into a broader redevelopment
scheme.
9. CONCLUSION
9.1 As the purpose of this report is to give the status of the application for the public
meeting, it is appropriate to have the application referred back to staff for further
processing.

Report#: PD-020-00 FILE#: ZBA 2000-002 By-law#
Subject: REZONING APPLICATION
APPLICANT: TSC STORES LIMITED
BOWMANVILLE URBAN AREA
FILE: ZBA 2000-002
Recommendations:
i
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-020-00 be received;
2. THAT the rezoning application submitted by Norlon Builders (London) Limited on
behalf of TSC Stores Limited be referred back to Staff for further processing and
preparation of a subsequent report pending receipt of all outstanding comments; and,
3. THAT all interested parties listed in this report and any delegation be advised of
Council's decision.
i
1. APPLICATION DETAILS
1.1 Applicant: TSC Stores Limited
1.2 Agent: Norlon Builders (London) Limited
1.3 Rezoning: To rezone the subject lands from "Special Purpose Commercial
(C5) Zone" and "Environmental Protection (EP) Zone" to permit a
2,345 m2 one storey retail warehouse store.
1.4 Site Area: 4.8 hectares (11.9 acres)
608
REPORT NO.: PD-020-00 PAGE 2
2. LOCATION
2.1 The subject lands are located at the southwest corner of Baseline Road West and Duke
Street in Bowmanville (see Attachment #1). The applicant's land holdings totals 4.8
hectares (11.9 acres). The property in legal terms is known as Part Lot 11; Broken Front
Concession, in the former Town of Bowmanville.
3. BACKGROUND
3.1 On January 5, 2000, the applicant submitted a rezoning application to the Municipality of
Clarington. The applicant proposes to erect a one storey 2,345 m2 retail warehouse store.
There will be approximately 825 m2 of outdoor storage associated with the store, to be
located on the west side of the building.
3.2 TSC Stores Limited is a retail chain based on Southwestern Ontario with 17 stores
throughout Ontario. The retail format consists of farm animal and machinery supplies,
hardware and tools, limited home improvement supplies, automotive parts, work
clothing, and gardening supplies. They erect a large format store with some outdoor
storage for larger items in high visibility locations. Their stores primarily serve rural
agricultural markets.
4. SITE CHARACTERISTIC AND SURROUDING USES
4.1 The property is the site of the former Brookdale Kingsway Nursery at the southwest
corner of Baseline Road West and Duke Street. The foundations of the former nursery
buildings are still present. Along Duke Street, the site slopes gently south towards
Highway 401. The western portion of the property along Baseline Road West is
generally flat due to previous regrading that was done to accommodate the C.N. Rail spur
to the Goodyear tire plant. The southwest portion of the property slopes fairly rapidly
towards the Bowmanville Creek valley. A trail on the property leads down towards the
valley.
609
REPORT NO.: PD-020-00 PAGE 3
4.2 Surrounding Uses:
East - Howard Johnson's hotel and commercial plaza
North - Urban residential
West - Bowmanville Creek and C.N. Rail spur
South - Highway 401
5. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
5.1 The lands are designated "Living Area" within the Durham Region Official Plan.
Highway commercial uses serving the specialized needs on an occasional basis are
permitted within these areas. The application conforms to the policies.
5.2 Within the Clarington Official Plan, the subject lands are designated "Highway
Commercial". The uses permitted are those which serve the specialized needs of or an
occasional basis with services and facilities which consume large parcels of land, require
exposure to traffic and may require outdoor storage. The proposal conforms.
5.3 The valleyland portion of the property is designated "Environmental Protection Area".
Development will not be permitted within or impact the environmentally protected
i
portions of the site. The property is adjacent to the Bowmanville Creek valleyland,
which has been identified as a "Cold Water Stream" and "Hazard Land" on the Official
Plan's Natural Features and Land Characteristics mapping. Section 4.3.8 of the Official
Plan requires that an environmental impact study be undertaken where development is
located within 50 metres of a stream. As a result, the Municipality has initiated the study
process.
6. ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY
6.1 The subject lands are currently zoned "Special Purpose Commercial (C5) Zone", which
does not permit the type of use required by TSC Stores Limited. As a result, a rezoning
application was submitted for consideration. i is zoned "Environmental
Protection(EP)", which does not permit development within this portion of the site.
610
REPORT NO.: PD-020-00 PAGE 4
7. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSION
7.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site
and three public meeting notice signs were installed on the lands.
7.2 As of the writing of this report, two general inquiries from area residents were received.
The following concerns were mentioned:
• the impact of increased vehicular and truck traffic levels on Baseline Road, Hunt
Street, and Duke Street on area residents;
• impact of traffic on existing driveways on and near Baseline Road;
• location of the proposed building on the property;
• impact of lighting from the proposal;
• proximity of development to the Bowmanville Creek.
These issues will be discussed in Section 9.2 of the report.
i
8. AGENCY COMMENTS
8.1 The Clarington Fire has no objections provided that parking spaces do not encroach into
the fire route.
8.2 The Clarington Public Works Department has no objections provided that the following
issues are addressed:
• An 8.0 metre road widening along Baseline Road must be dedicated to the
Municipality;
• The applicant must demonstrate that the storm sewer system can accommodate the
proposed development;
611
REPORT NO.: PD-020-00 PAGE 5
■ A lot grading and drainage plan must demonstrate that adjacent properties are not
adversely affected by the development;
■ A proper commercial access must be constructed from Baseline Road; and,
■ The applicant must provide a 2% cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication.
8.3 The Ministry of Transportation has no objections provided that the following information
is received for review.
• Lot grading and drainage plan and stormwater management report.
• Site illumination plan.
Background traffic studies as requested by Clarington.
The Ministry wishes to ensure that the development does not negatively impact the
Highway 401 right-of-way.
8.4 Veridian Corporation has no objections provided that:
■ The applicant accommodates a 5.0 metre by 6.0 metre outdoor transformer pad on the
property; and,
■ The applicant satisfies all financial requirements for electrical service construction.
8.5 C.N. Rail has no objections provided that the following conditions are fulfilled:
• The Owner must install a 1.83 metre high chainlink fence along the mutual property
line;
• Any alterations to the existing drainage pattern must be substantiated by a drainage
report and approved by the railway;
• The building must be set back a minimum of 30 metres from the right-of-way. An
earthen berm must be adjacent to the right-of-way must have a height of 2.5 metres
with a stable 2.5 to 1 slope.
612
REPORT NO.: PD-020-00 PAGE 6
■ The railway recommends that the applicant engage a consultant to examine noise and
vibration effects resulting from operations the line. Potential mitigation measures
should be detailed.
8.6 Comments remain outstanding from the following :.; ,cies.
➢ Central Lake Ontario Conservation
➢ Durham Regional Planning Department
➢ Durham Regional Public Works Department
9. COMMENTS
9.1 An environmental impact study is required for the application due to its proximity to the
Bowmanville Creek and the associated valleylands. The Planning Department has
initiated the study process for this proposal. The applicant will be required to pay for the
cost of the study.
9.2 Area residents have raised a number of issues regarding the application. This section
discusses the issues raised in Section 7.2 of this report.
The development will result in an increased level of vehicular and truck traffic on
Baseline Road. This road is classified as a Type "A" arterial in the Clarington
Official Plan with an ultimate width between 36 and 50 metres. As the majority of
the traffic related to this development would travel along Baseline Road, traffic levels
on Hunt Street and Duke Street are not expected to increase substantially.
■ The applicant has submitted information indicating that patron traffic to a TSC Store
is very consistent through the day. An average customer count is approximately 320
cars per day over a ten hour period. There are a few properties with existing
driveways onto Baseline Road. Although there may be some change in ease of
ingress and egress, the impact is expected to be minimal. The Public Works
Department does not have any traffic related concerns.
■ The building is situated a minimum of 80 metres from the north side of Baseline
Road. This setback significantly reduces the impact of the building mass from the
adjacent residential area. A landscaping strip will be required around the perimeter of
the property to soften the impact of the development.
613
REPORT NO.: PD-020-00 PAGE 7
■ The applicant will be requested to submit a lighting plan ensuring that on-site
illumination from the proposal does not negatively impact the adjacent residential
area or the Highway 401 operations.
■ The development is in proximity to the Bowmanville Creek. An environmental
impact study is required to examine any impacts on the creek. The study will
recommend mitigation measures as required.
10. CONCLUSIONS
10.1 As the purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirements for the Public Meeting under
the Planning Act, and taking into consideration all of the comments received, it is
respectfully requested that this report be referred back to Staff for further processing and
the preparation of a subsequent report.

Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-021-00 be received;
2. THAT the request for removal of Part Lot Control in respect of Lots 17 to 23, 36 to 44,
and 77 to 82 inclusive on 40M-1984 be APPROVED;
3. THAT the attached By-law be APPROVED and forwarded to the Regional Municipality
of Durham pursuant to Section 50 (7.1) of the Planning Act; and,
4. THAT all interested parties listed in this report and any delegation be advised of
Council's decision.
�I
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 On February 3, 2000, Staff received a request from Kelvin Whalen, on behalf of 1138337
Ontario Inc., for the removal of Part Lot Control in respect to Lots 17 to 23, 36 to 44, and
i
77 to 82 on Registered Plan 40M-1984. These lots are located in Part Lot 28, Broken
Front Concession, former Village of Newcastle (Attachment No. 1) and have frontage on
Beacham Crescent and Carveth Crescent.
1.2 The removal of Part Lot Control would facilitate the construction of semi-detached
dwelling units on each of the lots. The process will enable the lots to be divided and
618
i
REPORT NO.: PD-021-00 PAGE 2
resurveyed after the dwelling foundations are in place. The lots are in a registered plan of
subdivision. Therefore, there is an existing agreement in place to cover the
I
Municipality's financial interest, including payment of parkland dedication and
development charges.
i
i
2. COMMENTS
2.1 Staff has no objection to the approval of a By-law exempting the subject lands from Part
Lot Control. Attached is a By-law to exempt the subject lands from Section 50 (5) of the
Planning Act pursuant to the provisions of Section 50 (7) of the Planning Act. The Part
Lot Control by-law requires the approval of Council and the Regional Municipality of
Durham.
2.2 In accordance with Subsection 7.3 of Section 50 of the Planning Act, the By-law may
p rovide a specified ti mefr ame during which the By-law shall be in force. As a result, it is
not necessary for Staff to prepare a second By-law to restore Part Lot Control on the
subject lands. The Planning Act leaves it to the Municipality to determine an appropriate
timeframe during which the By-law shall apply. Staff recommend that the By-law be in
force for a three (3) year period following Council approval, ending March 6, 2003.

REPORT
Meeting: General Purpose and Administration Committee File #
Date: Monday, February 28, 2000 Res. #
Report #: CD-09-00
By-law #
Subject: MARK STEWART —ANIMAL LICENCING SERVICE INC. -AGREEMENT
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report CD-09 -00 be received;
2. THAT Animal Licencing Service Inc., be given the exclusive rights to sell dog and cat
licences door to door in the Municipality of Clarington for the year 2000
commencing on March 7, 2000 until September 30, 2000 and subject to review by
Council at the termination of the agreement;
3. THAT the Agreement be executed by the Mayor and Municipal Clerk and the
authorizing By-law be forwarded to Council for approval; and
4. THAT Mark Stewart, Animal Licencing Services Inc., be advised of Council's decision.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 For the past three years, Animal Licencing Service Inc., has been contracted by the
Municipality to sell dog licences door to door from March 1 to October 30.
1.2 The chart below reflects the positive financial impact of the execution of the
agreements:
701
Report CD-09-00 - 2 - February 28, 2000
YEAR TOTAL
1996 Sale of dog licences by Municipality $13,936.00
And outlets
1997 Sale of dog licences by Municipality $35,369.00
Outlets and Animal Licencing Inc.
1998 Sale of dog licences by Municipality $40,179.05
Outlets and Animal Licencing Inc.
1999 Sale of dog licences by Municipality $39,628.00
Outlets and Animal Licencing Inc.
1.3 Staff is very pleased with the increase in number of licences sold as this represents an
increase in revenues as well as the opportunity for more dogs and cats to be returned
to their owners if they are lost or brought to our animal shelter.
1.4 The contents of the Agreement attached to Report CD-09-00 as Schedule "A" remain
the same as the Agreement executed in 1999 with the exception of the following:
The termination date of the agreement has been changed from "October 30" to
"September 30" to address the concerns of some residents who felt that the month
of October was too late in the year to purchase a "current" licence.
The agreement has been amended to include the sale of cat licences to meet the
requirements of the Responsible Pet Owners' By-law.
The commission paid to the contractor has been changed:
from
15.00 for sale of licences sold for an unaltered dog; and
$3.00 for sale of licence sold for an altered dog"
to
14.00 for sale of any dog/cat licence".
These changes have been negotiated and accepted by the contractor.
702
Report CD-09 -00 - 3 - February 28, 2000
2. RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff therefore recommends:
2.1 THAT Report CD-09-00 be received;

REPORT: CD-10-00 -2- February 28, 2000
In late 1999, the Ministry of Transportation began to charge a fee back to the Municipality for the information
that they provide regarding vehicle registrations for court. The Municipality is charged $8.25 for each certified
vehicle registration where the Defendant has requested a trial and then failed to appear in court.
The Provincial Offences Act allows for the Defendant to be deemed not to dispute the ticket in these situations
and is automatically convicted. A court fee is then added to the fine and a portion of that must be remitted to
the Province. This amount will be included in future reports under the heading, "MTO CHARGEBACK'. It
will be deducted from the total revenue for the month. Depending on the Courts reporting system for trials, this
item may not appear on every monthly report. It will however be tracked over the course of the year. The
amount currently shown includes court cases from December 1999.

Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report CD-11-00 be received;
2. THAT the proposed by-law attached to Report CD-11-00 be forwarded to Council for

REPORT:
1. ATTACHMENTS
1.1: Proposed By-law appointing Kenneth Sherwood as a By-law Enforcement
Officer
1.2: Proposed By-law appointing Terry Beauvais as a By-law Enforcement
Officer
2. BACKGROUND
Since 1993 Public Works staff have been authorized to issue Parking Tickets for vehicles
interfering with snow removal. The foremen were appointed to deal with this situation. This
has worked well and provided a level of service that would otherwise not be available without
increased cost. It makes efficient use of staff who are working at that time and dealing with
the snow related problems.
.../2
715
REPORT: CD-11-00 -2- February 28, 2000
Currently Public Works has two people on "Winter Patrol" duties. These people patrol the
roads and call in the sanders and ploughs as needed. These staff members work from 6:00
p.m. to 7:00 a.m. on Thursdays and 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and
Sundays from December 1 to April 7.
Having ti.:;se people empowered to issue parking tickets allows for better overall coverage
during snowstorms and winter conditions. When initially appointed in 1993, the Public Works
Supervisors were to deal with issues pertaining to snow clearing operations. Since that time
the Municipality has enacted an on-street parking prohibition from 3:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.
Tagging for this offence will assist in ensuring that the roads are kept clear of vehicles.
Knowing that they can be ticketed at any time will assist the public in realizing that the
vehicles must be kept off the street and will reduce the incidents of tickets issued for
interfering with the actual ploughing.
The persons assigned to Winter Patrol are Terry Beauvais and Kenneth Sherwood. Once
appointed, the Senior Municipal Law Enforcement Officer will properly train Mr. Beauvais
and Mr. Sherwood in the issuing of parking tickets.
3. CONCLUSION
Staff respectfully recommend that proposed By-laws to appoint Terry Beauvais and Kenneth
Sherwood be approved.

REPORT
Meeting: General Purpose and Administration Committee File#
Date: February 28 2000 Res.#
Report# ADMIN. 8 - 00
Subject: Port Granby Low Level Radioactive Site
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. That Report ADMIN. 8-00 be received for information; and
2. That Mr. Harvey Thompson be advised of Council's decision.
Report:
1. In September 1999, Council considered staff Report PD-95-99 and approved
eleven recommendations with respect to various matters regarding the Port
Granby Low Level Radioactive Storage Site, and the recommendations were
forwarded to the Honourable Ralph Goodale, Minister of Natural Resources
Canada in November 1999.
2. Subsequently, the Mayors of Clarington, Port Hope and the Reeve of Hope
Township made a joint submission to the Minister dealing specifically with the
question of compensation. Copies of the joint submissions were provided to
members of Council previously.
3. By letter dated December 22 1999, which was on the Council agenda of January
10 2000, the Minister advised the Municipality that his Cabinet colleagues
supported the communities' proposals for managing the waste locally and have
given him a mandate to negotiate legal agreements with the communities. The
Minister further advised that Mr. Dan Whelan, Director General, Energy
Resources Branch,Natural Resources Canada will commence the negotiations
leading to the legal agreements as the first step towards the clean-up and effective
long-term management of the local wastes.
1201
4.. In order to commence the process, Mr. Whelan requested a meeting with the
heads of Council and the Chief Administrative Officers of the three communities.
Said meeting was held in Port Hope on February 9"'2000. At the meeting, Mr.
Whelan confirmed the commitment by the Minister to proceed towards
negotiating legal agreements. He also indicated that the preliminary ballpark
estimate would cost approximately $230 million to implement the local solutions
and that the federal government will be the financial underwriters of the projects.
Discussion took place on several issues, and they were:
a) approach and process to negotiating legal agreements;
b) approach to communications;
C) financial support; and
d) outline of the draft agreement.
Mr. Whelan and representatives from the three municipalities generally agree that
there should be one single agreement with appendices dealing with special
circumstances of each community. There was also agreement that the group,
consisting of the Mayors and Chief Administrative Officers plus representatives
from the Federal Government, will be a plenary group overseeing the works of a
working group made up by Chief Administrative Officers and outside
professionals that may be needed to assist the municipalities. In order to ensure
the municipalities would not incur expenditures related to negotiation and public
communication, Mr. Whalen verbally committed$25,000 to each municipality so
the process can commence immediately.
5. At the time of writing this report, the C.A.O. is working with his colleagues in
Port Hope and Hope Township to work out all the details that would lead to the
formation of a working group or negotiating team representing the three
municipalities.
6. As events unfold, the C.A.O. will apprise Council with respect to the progress of
the negotiations.
Respectfully submitted,
i

REPORT
Meeting: General Purpose and Administration Committee File #
Date: February 28, 2000 Res. #FILE #:
Report #: ADMIN-10-00 By-law #
Subject: CLARINGTON BACKYARD FESTIVAL
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report ADMIN-10-00 be received;
2. THAT Council endorse the overall promotion of the Clarington BackYard Festival
beginning Saturday April 29 to May 31, 2000;
3. THAT Council approve the requested budget allocation of $ 20,000.00 (maximum)
for the purpose of confirming a fireworks display on Monday May 22, 2000 (Victoria
Day); and,
4. THAT members of the Clarington BackYard Festival (Municipal "May-nia")
Committee be informed of Council's decision.
1.0 BACKGROUND:
1.1 Since June of 1999 there has been much discussion about "marking" the arrival of the
new era — the new Millennium. Many communities across Canada and the world
marked the milestone on December 31, 1999. There were so many events, large and
small, that it was difficult to decide which celebration to watch or, if possible, attend.
1.2 Since the start of this year, the Marketing, Tourism & Communications Office has
been working to create an event plan and partnership to produce a Clarington-made
tribute to the year 2000. One thing, however, is abundantly clear to the members of
the Clarington BackYard Festival Committee. The public is tired of Millennium
"anything". The task is to find a family-oriented event or group of events that will
1203
REPORT NO.: ADMIN-10-00 PAGE 2
allow Clarington citizens and visitors to celebrate the Clarington experience.
2.0 Clarington BackYard Festival:
2.1 In the various publications used to promote the Municipality of Clarington, it is
clearly stated (many times) that living, visiting and working in Clarington is a unique
opportunity and experience. What makes the Clarington experience so unique? There
are many factors, to be sure, but the most outstanding factor is the pride and spirit
that Clarington citizens have for their hometown. The BackYard Festival celebrates
our spirit, our people and our community. It is an opportunity to let others know what
they are missing by not being here!
2.2 The BackYard Festival is a month long celebration of activity starting with the 30th
Anniversary of the Clarke Museum & Archives on Saturday April 29, 2000 and
includes a Grand Finale on Victoria Day Monday (Monday May 22, 2000). Events
occurring throughout the month of May are the focus of the Clarington BackYard
Festival marketing (promotion) strategy. Special posters and promotions will assist the
groups who organize these events with the intention of raising event attendance to
new (record) levels. In addition to Clarke Museum's planned celebration, these events
will also be highlighted: Bowmanville Kinsmen Home Show; Maple Festival &
Hobbies Show (Bowmanville BIA); Apple Blossom Fruit Wine & Food Festival
(Archibald Orchards & Estate Winery); Mother's Day Special (Bowmanville Zoo); and,
the Courtice Lions Club Carnival. This list will be revised as we continue to send
information to our community partners and offer to include their event.
2.3 This is too big of a program and a big responsibility for any individual to take on. The
Clarington BackYard Festival's first significant partnership was in the development of
the organizing (planning) committee. Joining the Marketing, Tourism &
Communications representatives on the "Home Team" are: Sandy Archibald
(Archibald Orchards & Estate Winery); Penny Waghorne (Ontario Power Generation
— Darlington); Catherine Presant (Clarington Public Library); Mark Jackman (Clarke
Museum & Archives); Charles Taws (Bowmanville Museum); Glenn Butt (Mosport
International Raceway); and, Victoria Greene (Clarington Board of Trade).

REPORT NO.: ADMIN-10-00 PAGE 3
3.0 Grand Finale:
3.1 Each participating member of the BackYard Festival Committee is working on their
event and will facilitate other events as part of the overall marketing strategy. The
Marketing, Tourism & Communications Office is co-ordinating the Grand Finale
event.
3.2 As the name suggests, the Municipality will stage the final act of the Clarington
Backyard Festival ("Municipal-May-nia"). The vision of celebrating the people and
spirit of Clarington is an event focal point. Although overall plans are still
unconfirmed, there is one firm request from the Festival Committee. The request is for
the inclusion of a significant fireworks display on Victoria Day.
3.3 In years past, Victoria Day fireworks were a tradition. This does not appear to be the
case now. As far as the Committee has been able to confirm, there are no fireworks
planned in the immediate area of Clarington (Toronto to Cobourg). Therefore,
Clarington has an opportunity to draw attendance from many directions. The
Committee is discussing the site for the display. A couple of potential sites are being
investigated. The site requirements include accessibility (for attendees, organizers and
emergency vehicles if required) and, availability of unobstructed space (the
prescribed space required to launch fireworks - roughly an area of 100 m X 200 m -
that remain clear of spectators). At one point, the Committee was considering a water
launch for the fireworks but it is believed that the conditions of Lake Ontario in May
are too uncertain and, therefore, the fireworks will be launched on land. Council will
be advised of the location as soon as it is the Committee has exhausted their
investigation.
3.4 At this time, Marketing, Tourism & Communications staff has contacted three licensed
fireworks display companies. Although their suggestions as to what the display should
include vary greatly, the quoted costs are remarkably similar. For a non-musical
fireworks display, the industry standard, so to speak, appears to be approximately
$1,000 per minute. A good fireworks display runs 15 to 18 minutes ($ 15,000 to $
18,000). As current budgets have not been reviewed or approved, the Marketing,
12 .15
REPORT NO.: ADMIN-10-00 PAGE 4
Tourism & Communications Office is requesting Council's approval to officially book
a fireworks display for Monday May 22, 2000 (Victoria Day). Further it is requested
that Council to approve a maximum allocation of $20,000 for the purpose of this
display (including associated taxes).
4.0 SUMMARY:
The Clarington BackYard Festival holds the promise of an exciting and fun-filled
event. We are investigating sponsorship opportunities to help offset the event's
operational expenses. With the exception of the request for a fireworks display, the
event plan is still in its developmental stages however, local talent, family activities,
and partners will be highlighted throughout. It is anticipated that the event calendar
will be finalized by the end of March and a subsequent report to Council will be
submitted at that time.

Good Morning Madam Mayor and Councillors
I am here today as a tax-paying resident of Newcastle, on behalf of the teens
of Newcastle, Newtonville, and Orono. I am originally from Toronto - home
of the squeegie kids, but I moved here 12 years ago with my husband and
two babies - both teens now, to get out of the smelly crime-infested
craziness of the city and live in a cleaner, fresher and friendlier
environment.
I'm here to raise your awareness about the current youth situation in
Newcastle.
population 12 years ago?
-current population 6,520
-anticipated growth is 25% over the next 2 years (Newcastle ratepayers
assoc meeting)
-25% =1830 of which 1/4 could be teens = 460
There is a very critical need to adjust quickly to this growth, and meet the
new demands in order to manage this change.
There is a growing resentment, anger and frustration from the adults, and
business owners towards the burgeoning group of teens who meet regularly
at the bench by the Newcastle Community Centre.
These bench teens are only an outward symptom of community locked kids
with nothing stimulating to do,
-no fitness centre,
-no safe, warm, inviting place for social discourse,
-their school is out of town, therefore no possibility of after school extra
curricular programming
These teens are angry and frustrated too because they feel left out of their
own community.
-there is the GO bus to Bowfin. but there is also a sense among teens of
stepping on each other's turf.
One day back in Nov. I was talking to one of teens of Newcastle. He was
expressing his dissatisfaction with the fact that there was literally no where
to go and nothing to do. I told him I would look in to it and report back.
A neighbour of mine teaches English at Clark High School. Although it is
not on the curriculum, she tools the time and interest to ask her classes if
i
i
they would be interested in expressing their ideas about what they want by
way of facilities in their towns and how they feel about the present situation.
I have here a sheaf of essays, full of ideas written in English class by three
grades of Clarke High School teens. I am giving a copied set of theirs to Joe
Carrawana with whom I had a phone conversation last week after I spoke
about theirs to Councillors John Mutton and Charlie Trim. I had doubts
about showing these rather quickly written ideas to Council members but
these teens wrote them to be heard.
Since we don't have time to read them here, I took the time to read them all
and correlate their ideas onto one sheet which you all have a copy of.
We need to get the youth onside with their ideas and an action plan that
involves them. Since fund-raising involving the community is necessary, it
is a perfect opportunity to give them some ownership. The students of
Ontario St. Public school where My children have gone - have co-operated
and helped raise thousands of dollars for things that directly benefit them.
These teens need real hope now. They need to know that at least some of
their basic needs are not on further hold. We need a realistic action plan that
will include some benefits for todays' teens along with some concrete goals
to work together towards the future.
We moved to a quaint, quiet village and have witnessed a tremendous rate
of suburban growth to Newcastle, including many families with teens and
pre-teens. With this growing tax base and the will of every developer who
stands by his product, surely a proportionate amount of money should be
available and used to fund services and facilities for the teens of this
community. This can only benefit the whole community.
Before the personal or property damage incidences grow in number and
seriousness, we must address this in a way positive to the growing numbers
of teens and their families.
A recent cost efficiency study found that it is cheaper in the long run to
concentrate upfront on youth programming and rehabilitation using the
positive approach of intense one on one councelling over a few months
period with positive role reinforcements including a variety of social
programming, as opposed to sending young offenders to boot camps where
the bottom line is learning discipline dished out in punishing measures
within a society where all their peers are other offenders.
How would you rather be treated?
If we hear complaints that what we have given them in the past has been
destroyed, I would hazard to guess that we didn't involve them in the first
place to take ownership, to share their ideas about how the place should
operate. They need employment that helps to build them into responsible
caring adults.
David Smith, the staff person from the John Howard Society working at the
Bowm. Youth Centre is hoping that If we can offer our youth something
positive that they can work for and take ownership in, then through Peer
pressure there is more possibility of success and much less likelyhood of
things getting destroyed.
I need some answers for these kids.
Figures I have heard don't snake sense. If the Bowmanville youth centre
costs roughly 60,000 a year to run and only 30,000 annually for the next
three years has been set aside to establish outreach programs to other
communities, how can you expect to do anything beyond barely scraping the
30,000 necessary from community fundraising just for Bowmanville?
I do know that there have been positive results where formerly troublesome
youth were involved in turning a mall disaster into a successful inviting
place for everyone at Dufferin St. south of Bloor in Toronto.
The respect of the youth will be had only if we say what we mean, mean
what we say and do what we say we'll do. That's from Barbara Coloroso's
parenting book. Thankyou.

Reasons for having a place:
We need to have a safe, comfortable environment to meet and hang out with friends.
It would get kids off the street.
It would make Newcastle a fun, nice place to live.
It would attract visitors to Newcastle.
With all the new sub-divisions happening there will be more and more teens with no place to go
and nothing to do = more complaints from older people and cops who have to waste their time
watching us.

Thank you Madame Chairperson and fellow councilors for this opportunity to e a %
representation.
My name is Ferdinando Longo. I am here on behalf of my parents, Francesco and
Elisabetta Longo who are also in attendance today- owners of the property at
directly across from the proposed development. We are also the property
owners at ;
Madame Chairperson, I am not comfortable with public speaking, so I beg your
indulgence while I go through my remarks.
My parents purchased the property on back in 1982. I can remember every year
planting a huge garden on the property that we, the kids, referred to as the"family farm".
This"family farm"would create fresh produce for our family's consumption. Let me tell
you that with four kids, we needed a rather large garden.
My father had a dream that one day on this residential property, he would build some
houses for his children and their families. In 1990, my father built 2 houses. The family
moved into one of them and rented the other. Today,two families with ties and roots to
the community rent those two houses. Both of these families have small children who go
to school in the Courtice area. Some day, either myself or another one of three siblings
plan on moving into those houses with our families and hopefully lead a fulfilling life.
z
Over the years, neighbors have always talked about family units or residential apartments
being built in the area, in particular on the vacant site that is being discussed today.
My family has personally witnessed the vast development and residential expansion of
Courtice. However, it was recently brought to my attention that the proposed commercial
development of a funeral home across the street would hinder this opportunity. As all of
you are well aware, the Hwy 2 corridor is heavily traveled(transport trucks, vans, cars,
public transit and school buses) and that the increased traffic flows over the last few years
have resulted in numerous accidents.
With further development in the Courtice-area, traffic along this corridor will greatly
increase. I fear that there will be major disruptions along the Hwy 2 corridor if this
proposal is given consideration. I would like to know if an environmental impact study
or simply a traffic study has been conducted recently concerning pedestrian/public safety
and what would be the impact of a commercial enterprise being placed there.
My family has no intention of selling our property along Hwy 2 and I personally plan on
living there with my family someday. However, I fear that if a funeral home is
constructed across the street that this would create an unsafe environment for any family,
especially children. As you all are well aware, there are two things that noone in this
world can avoid, death and taxes. By shear co-incidence, today, Council is considering a
proposal for a funeral home, and in Ottawa on Parliament Hill,today is Budget day. In
both cases, I hope that my family and I will not be buried alive.
As a small businessman myself, I realize that the funeral home franchise is a cash-cow
investment not only for the investor but for the Municipality itself. Noone can avoid
death and with rapid residential growth in Courtice, an investment in a funeral home will
reap huge financial returns. However, I have some major concerns with any funeral
home being built across the street from my family's property. As all of you are well
aware, the surrounding area is heavily residential and there are many other family
dwellings along the Hwy 2 corridor itself.
With further development and residential expansion in Courtice, transportation along the
Hwy 2 corridor will drastically increase. With this increased traffic flow, I am worried
about public safety and with a funeral home, there will be major traffic disruptions for
funeral processions.
Our property is directly across from the street and increased traffic flow will be a major
problem. There is no stoplight or crosswalk at the corner of Hwy 2 and Sandringham,
co-incidentally the location of the proposed funeral home. A funeral home would need at
least two separate entrances and exits. I fear that any entrance or exit along Hwy 2 will
be a major traffic disruption. Once again, I ask"Has a study been conducted to consider
the increased traffic flow and public safety?"
I am terribly concerned about pedestrians, particularly children, walking along the streets
after dark with no clear lighting along the Highway#2 corridor. I do not wish to see our
taxes go up because a funeral home is built across the street and the need for improved
i
4
lighting and the installation of a stoplight is made to ensure public safety. I assume that
the owners of the proposed funeral home would then be responsible for the cost of the
lights and the new stoplight.
All construction projects and new development should be ecstatically pleasing to the eye.
I do not wish to look outside from my front porch or windows, and see a huge funeral
home sign. Along the south side of Hwy 2, all buildings are flushed back from the traffic
and trees with beautiful green grass along the front lawns. I do not wish to look outside
and see a daily procession of hearses or cars blocking traffic. Additionally, I do not wish
to see traffic in the other direction, using my driveway to turn their vehicles around to
avoid the funeral procession. I do not want to see a large bunker-style building and
concrete parking lot. It is said enough, that some of the best agricultural lands in the
entire province are disappearing before our eyes because of urban sprawl, but that any
green space that we could be setting aside, will also disappear.
At any funeral home, there are unfortunately dead bodies. I would like to know, if this
proposed funeral home will involve body storage/preservation and cremation services and
if so, how many fridges/kiln/ovens will be on the premises. I am not sure if any resident
in the area would approve or would like to see the smoke coming from the funeral home.
I personally find the thought very spooky and I would have a difficult time explaining
this to small children. Madame Chairperson, I am also concerned about parking at this
site. Will there be enough parking for the proposed commercial enterprise. I would hate
to see people using Sandringham as an additional parking lot.
s
As all of you are well aware, funeral homes are generally built in highly
industrialized/commercial areas. Unfortunately, the Hwy#2 corridor in the general area
does not meet that qualification. There are numerous residential units surrounding this
proposed development including our own. If you allow for this development, what
consideration will the Municipality give to current residential owners along the Hwy#2
corridor? Are you not now forcing all residential owners to move? I am presently happy
now knowing that when I get married that my family will have a place to live, a place
that my family literally built with our"blood, sweat and tears". At no time has anyone
associated with the proposed development made an effort to speak to either my parents or
to myself.
If there exists a real need for a funeral home in the area, there are other prime locations
along the Hwy 2 corridor that would have less of an impact on the residential population.
I would suggest at the corner of Trulls Road and Hwy 2, a location for future commercial
development and a downtown area, or at the site of the old Motel located at the corner of
Hwy 2 and Centerfield.
I have tried to keep my remarks as brief as possible, and would like to thank all of you for
listening.
Thank you very much and God Bless.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PROTECTION OF REMAINS OF BLACK-FAREWELL WETLAND
COMPLEX IS NOT UNDERSTOOD
Planning staff is committed to protect the wetland complex. This is the statement of our Director of
Planning, Mr. Crome, from the letter to residents dated February 22, 1999. Because of a mistake
done by the municipal planner Warren Munroe who withheld MNR information on wetlands'
location in Hancock neighbourhood from Council during the approval process, these wetlands are
being left out, without any protection. These wetlands are owned by the residents and not by the
developer.
Around 2 P.M. today(Friday), trees are being cut and shredded within the wetland identified by
MNR as provincially significant.
According to our Tree preservation By-law not even one tree can be removed from this wetland.
Council decided a year ago that the map outlining this wetland should go to all departments, so that
they can use this mapping to protect this wetland in case of any project within or around these
wetlands.
By-law Department was contacted, address and name of the landowner was given to them along
with their telephone number. All that was needed to be done was to call to find out what is going on
and inform them of our Municipal By-law. The trees were cut, but the enforcement doesn't exist.
By-law Department passed this information onto our Planning Department and our planning
Department passed this information to CLOCA. In the meantime, tree cutting continued during the
weekend.
I was told, they are all investigating. In the meantime, the tree cutting continued during this past
weekend.
This is exactly the same situation that happened to famous Trulls/Courtice Rd. Woods in Courtice
North during 1990, 1991 when large parcels of swamp were clearcut. The investigation took so
long that it was too late to salvage any area. Nobody even tried to stop this massacre. Exactly,
what developers wished for!
What kind of protection is this? I am asking our Council to investigate this situation, please. The
person who was in charge of tree cutting claimed that he is professional arborist. He has no idea
that he needs a permit, nor is he familiar with the land he is working on. What a professional! We
have to rely on people like that.
It is the truth that provincially significant wetlands in Hancock neighbourhood exist, but because of
one planner mistake, our natural heritage is continuing to be taken away from Courtice.

Re: Provincially Significant Wetlands and Birchdale Development
Madam Mayor and Councilors,
As you know, there has been much discussion on the Birchdale Development, and many meetings between the
proponent, residents and planning staff, among others. A suitable compromise was not reached, as you must
already know. I am here today to make another request as well as clarify our position and the reasons for that
position, so there are no misunderstandings, since this will now be before the OMB in April.
First, some background. A number of residents as well as OFAH have asked that MNR be formally requested to
extend the mapping of the wetland into the proposed development area and give a designation for it, whether it
is a part of the Provincially Significant Wetland Complex or not. As some councilors have pointed out, there
have been extensive studies done on the property, so the request for designation should not cause undue
difficulty. The mapping was halted at the "dashed line" (the boundary of the proposed subdivision) not because
the wetland ends there, but because of an error, which should have been addressed and corrected long ago. In a
letter to Mr. Crome from MNR dated June 25, 1999, Mr. T. Farrell writes, "...Wetlands to the south of the
proposed extension of George Reynolds Drive, in the vicinity of plan of subdivision 18T-90529, were not
examined because MNR was of the understanding, based on information from others, that development in this
area had already been draft approved. As it turns out, this information was not correct. Although MNR has not
reviewed the February 1998 Environmental Impact Study in detail, it is highly likely that the wetlands in the
vicinity of plan of subdivision 18T-99007 would have been a logical extension of the provincially significant
wetland complex."This has not been disputed by our Planning Staff nor by the updated EIS.
To date, however, there has not been a formal request made by Clarington to MNR to complete the mapping that
was left unfinished due to the error. Planning did request clarifications from MNR of the wetland boundary , but
did NOT make a formal request that the mapping continue into the lands proposed for development so that an
official designation could be made. To be sure I was absolutely clear on this, I asked Heather Brooks (Planning)
at a meeting on February 7, 2000, whether the request for completion of the mapping had ever been made. Ms.
Brooks replied that it had not. Also in attendance at this meeting was Norm Monaghan, Hannu Halminen, and
Bin Newell.
Why do we feel it is necessary for MNR to complete the designation, and what do we hope to accomplish?
We have been told repeatedly that there is adequate environmental protection for woodlots, wetlands and creeks
in our Clarington Official Plan, therefore the MNR Provincially Significant Wetland designation is not
necessary. We disagree. The Provincial Policy Statement reads, in part:
2.3.1 Natural Heritage features and areas will be protected from incompatible development.
a) Development and site alteration will not be permitted in:
• significant wetlands south and east of the Canadian shield
b) Development and site alteration may be permitted in:
• significant wetlands south and east of the Canadian Shield
If it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or the
ecological functions for which the area is identified.
2.3.2 Development and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to a) and b) if it has
been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or on the
ecological functions for which the area is identified.
According to the MNR policy manual, the recommended buffer from Provincially Significant Wetlands is 120
meters (the width of adjacent lands).
According to the Staff report Addendum No. 2 to PD-70-99 (November, 1999), minimum 5 meter setbacks will
apply to this subdivision. For example, page 8, paragraph 2 states "That the north limit of lots 40 to 45 inclusive,
be red-line revised to delete the northerly 5 metres. The northerly 5 metre strip (new Block 107) provides the
minimum of a 5 metre setback from an environmental protection area (in this case being the identified southern
limit of the Black-Farewell Creek Wetland Complex).
Page 3 of the same report states, "These wetlands were not included within the evaluation of the wetland
complex and as such are not identified as part of the provincially significant wetland complex."
Even though it has been stated that this wetland is most likely a logical extension of the Black Farewell PS
Wetland Complex, without the "Provincially Significant Wetland" designation, there is much more latitude to
reduce setbacks dramatically, as well as destroy portions of identified wetland, which is not allowed in PSW.
Therefore we have asked that a formal request be made to MNR to complete the mapping of that area.
We are told that this is a "Municipal matter" and MNR will not comment on it. We are not asking for MNR to
comment on the plan of subdivision. We are asking that they be formally requested to complete that unfinished
section of wetland mapping (unfinished due to an error). We are told that the EIS is all that is needed, Mr.
Crome asked MNR, "An EIS identifying the unique vegetation and wildlife characteristics and the groundwater
functions recognizing this area as a wetland was completed in February 1998. Would another EIS be required if
these lands are identified as a PSW?The response he received to this questions was:
"... it must be determined if the EIS meets the requirements of the Provincial Policy Statement".
We have been told by MNR that a formal request by either the Municipality or the Region must be made in
order for them to extend the wetland mapping into the proposed area and give their designation.
I hope this clears up any misunderstanding about our intentions. Because the municipality has declined to
defend their position of denying the application at the OMB, it is left up to the residents to defend your position.
I ask once again that a formal request be made of MNR to complete the wetland mapping for the subject
property, in clear language so there is no misunderstanding, and that this request be made forthwith, with the
hope that it will be completed prior to the OMB hearing which is slated for April 10, 12, 13 and 14, 2000.
1 would also ask that I be copied on any relevant correspondence between Planning Staff, MNR, OMB or any
other parties (including the developer or other residents or Council) in case the information is needed for the
upcoming OMB hearing as well as so I will be informed if/when the request is made and how it is made and any
replies received.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Yours truly,
