Stephenson, the owner of approximately 2/3 of the site addressed in
Report PD -078-00, indicated that the proposal conforms to both the
municipal and the regional Official Plan. The required studies are nearing
completion and, although Mr. Stephenson is sympathetic to the Separate

delay this application. He, therefore, requested that Council adopt the
recommendations contained in Report PD -078-00.
Bob Willsher, 323 Church Street, Newcastle. LIB IC6 addressed Council
with respect to Report PD -078-00. He indicated that the Public School

Catholic District School Board, 1355 Landsdowne Street West,

needs of both the Separate School Board and the future needs of the
municipality. He indicated that a purchase offer has been made to
Mr. Brown and that, as of today's date, the offer has been accepted.
Therefore, the door is now open to establish the school site in the most
favourble location. Mr. Whibbs indicated the Board's willingness to work
with the municipality to ensure that the siting of the school is appropriate
to meet the requirements of the municipality.

DELEGATIONS
Glen Barkey and Walter Vice, 4220 Townline Road North, R.R. #2,
Blackstock, LOB 1 BO addressed Council with regard to the dumping
and/or stockpiling of large quantities of paper sludge in at least one site on
the Oak Ridges Moraine. Through a slide presentation, they demonstrated
to Council the degree to which the storage of this sludge has extended.
Their immediate goals are to have the piles of "stored" paper sludge
removed, to ensure that proper regulations are introduced and enforced in
respect to the storage and/or non-agricultural use of paper sludge and to
ensure that paper sludge is not used as a component of unregulated landfill
or in a land reclamation "product". Therefore, they are requesting that
Council:
• Actively and immediately pursue the enforcement of existing
municipal zoning by-laws
• Consider enacting new by=laws to better protect the water and
environment of our community by eliminating the possibility that any
concentration of paper sludge (or other waste materials) be placed in
environmentally sensitive areas, and specifically on the Oak Ridges
Moraine
• Seek a reversal by the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario of the
MOE (lack of) rules that allow paper sludge to be used as a significant
component in unregulated material
• Request the Region of Durham/Ministry of Health to initiate on-going
testing for acrylamides and endotoxins in municipal water systems and
private wells
• Have the Municipality, in conjunction with the City of Oshawa,
immediately pursue a "peer review" of Atlantic Packaging research on
paper sludge, with a specific view to understanding the chemistry of
stockpiled sludge
• If necessary, to assist them, or to take on the responsibility of an
application to the OMB to have the stockpiling and/or landfill use of
paper sludge in any form stopped.

just right, going over the plans with the municipality's engineers and
checking with a water hose to make sure the water ran where it should.
This attention was above and beyond anything they had expected.
Mrs. Marjerrison would also like to compliment the supervisor from the
town for the attention he gave to them and to their driveway, making sure
they were satisfied. She was not so impressed however, with the
contractor who laid their sod. When she made a few suggestions, like
filling in the hollows between their lawn and the new sod so that overall
look would be smoother, she was ignored. When the contractor was
laying the sod, he didn't even try to make the seams fit, there were holes
and gaps that she hope will fill in with grass. They will have to do
considerable work to make their lawn look good again.

applications for sites numbered 22, 29 and 107 and has paid at the higher

Council to defer consideration of this latest complaint until after the Board
has issued its decision in the first matter. If the Board agrees with their

1-9 Wanda Pitchforth, Executive Director, Literacy Network of Durham Region,
advising Council that September 8'h is International Literacy Day. This is a day
set aside each year to recognize the importance of reading and writing in our
communities, and the struggle faced by 55% of Durham Region's adult
population who have some level of difficulty with literacy skills. The
International Adult Literacy Survey report confirms that literacy is liked to the
economic success of not only Durham Region, but the province of Ontario and
Canada as a nation. Each and every day, employees are put to the challenge of
dealing with higher level tasks in the workplace. The bar is being raised in order
to adapt to changes in technology and market conditions. In fact, very few people
in Durham Region have the reading and writing skills needed to meet today's
challenges. The solution lies in revaluing learning. Adult literacy is an issue that
demands serious attention by decision makers. Government business, educators,
volunteers and individual citizens all have a role to play in creating a society that
values learning and supports literacy for all age groups. The Literacy Network of
Durham Region will be launching a family literacy tool kit in the near future and
they hope that they can count on our support to encourage people in the
Municipality of Clarington to pick up a copy of this tool and make use of its
ideas.

Witmer, Minister of Health and Long -Term Care, providing Council with their
brochure, Active Ontario - New Directions and Partnerships. More than 60% of
the people in our province are not physically active enough to benefit their health.
The Government of Ontario considers this a serious challenge to the health and
quality of life in communities across our province, and has made a commitment to
increase the number of physically active Ontarians by three per cent by the year
2001. The latest research tells them that the best way to increase physical activity
is to make it a part of daily life. This means it is important for them to reach out
to people in their workplace, school, homes, communities and the recreation,
sport and health systems. Working together with the Ontario Physical and Health
Education Association, ParticipAction, Parks and Recreation Ontario, the Ontario
Public Health Association, the Leisure Information Network, the Canadian
Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute, provincial sports organizations and other
partners, they have begun launching a number of provincial initiatives to support
this new direction.

1- 15 Ruby McPhee, advising Council of a letter that was published in her local paper
on August 23, 2000, regarding Toronto sending their garbage to the Adams Mine
Site. This is not an ordinary landfill site we are voting on. This is a small lake at
the bottom of a large pit. The mine has been closed for several years and if the pit
didn't leak it would be over 600 ft deep instead of 250 ft deep. Ms. McPhee's
nephew who is a geologist and mining engineer and has worked in mines in
Africa and now is currently in Brazil worked at this Adams Mine in the summer
holidays while he was going to mining school. He said one of his jobs was to do
a dye test to see if the pit leaked. The results of the dye test showed that the water
in the pit leaked out into all the little streams and the river that is close to the site.
This is where Mr. McGuinty is going to pump the water out of the pit into all
these little streams and the river. On voting to send Toronto garbage to this site
we will be voting for a licence to kill as this water that he is going to pump out
will contaminate the navigable waters from here to Ottawa and eventually the
little streams and rivers flowing in the Municipality of Clarington's direction.

proceeding with the development of 20,000 new long-term care beds. Later this
fall, the Ministry of Health and Long -Term Care will begin the process for the
final round of allocations for new long-term care beds. This is the final phase of
the government's commitment to build 20,000 new beds. These beds will
conform to the province's new standards for long-term care facilities. For this
final round of awards, the ministry is streamlining the application process on the
basis of input from long-term care providers and associations. The new process in
intended to be simpler, more flexible and it will help ensure that beds are built on
time and in service areas where there is the most need. Under the new
requirements, applicants must own, have an option on land or a long-term lease
and demonstrate they can meet the ministry's financial and development
requirements. Preferred locations have been identified by the ministry to provide
assistance to applicants looking for sites.

I - 17 Rick Rakus, General Manager, Central Region, Enbridge Consumers' Gas,
informing Council that starting next month, they will be notifying their customers
about an upcoming natural-gas rate increase. The Ontario Energy Board has
already approved an 11.9% increase for natural-gas costs, effective June 1, 2000.
The upcoming rate increase will be more substantial. They have asked the
Ontario Energy Board to approve an increase of an additional 18.1% effective
October 1, 2000, the largest part of which is due to the increase in the commodity
price of natural gas, which has virtually doubled over the last year. Mr. Rakus
would like to stress that Enbridge Consumers' Gas will not profit from this
increase. As a utility regulated by the Ontario Energy Board, they are not allowed
to mark up the price they pay for natural gas. They set their rates based on
exactly what it costs them to buy natural gas.

discontinue air services to a point within Canada in three situations. If one of
these situations arises, then the carrier must give the community or communities
affected 120 days notice before the date it proposed to discontinue or reduce a
service. Carriers who have served a point for less than one year are required to
give 30 days notice. A carrier may apply to the Agency to have the notice period

October 19, 2000. This day is part of a week in which they celebrate the
accomplishments of Canada's 10,000 co-operatives, credit unions, and caisses
populaires. This year's theme is "Co-ops and Credit Unions... Investing in
Canadian Communities." Canada's co-operatives and credit unions represent the
optimism that Canadians feel about the communities in which they live. Not only
do co-operatives and credit unions invest in communities, the returns that those
investments yield stay in those communities, providing jobs and generating
economic activity. For co-operatives and credit unions, success is also measured
in the number of jobs they create, in the services they offer to their members, and
in the equitable way they distribute their earnings within the communities they
serve. More than 135,000 people are employed by co-operatives and credit
unions from coast to coast.

theme is Breastfeeding: It's Your Right! It recognizes the importance of raising
awareness about the fact that breastfeeding is a right for both mother and child
and seeks to stimulate a shift in public thinking so that this right is respected,
protected, facilitated and fulfilled at household, community and government
levels in every country. This special week provides an opportunity for people

D-4 Becky Wall, Public Health Nurse, requesting Council to proclaim October 4,

replaces National Walk a Child to School Day (WCSD). On October 6, 1999,
over 42,000 students actively participated in the second annual WCSD in the City
of Toronto, York and Durham Regions. Through our support, they can make
Intemational Walk to School Day successful once again this year in Durham
Region. International Walk to School Day, endorsed by the Canadian Federation
of Municipalities, was established to encourage children and parents to become
more physically active, increase safe walking routes to school and promote
cleaner air in our communities. The importance of this day should not be
underestimated. Two thirds of Canadian children do not participate in enough
physical activity to lay a solid foundation for future health and well being. Traffic
collision statistics for the Region show that young children need to be taught the
importance of safe walking routes and practises. In 1998, approximately twenty
people under the age of 20 were involved in non-fatal collisions with vehicles.
Many of these collisions were due to unsafe pedestrian actions.

over Foster Creek. This exclusive neighbourhood would be greatly affected due
to traffic volume and speed, and the property values in this very desirable area of
Newcastle would never be the same. Many of them have enjoyed their court
being tucked away from the larger subdivisions and by having a major
throughway on Grady Drive the problem of traffic would be very dangerous for
all of the younger children who now enjoy the freedom of their street with it's low
traffic volume. The environment surrounding the creek will be destroyed if a
major bridge and road are constructed. They as taxpayers do not want to foot the
bill for this bridge to be built and would be very resentful of any of their taxes
going to the road construction as well. Let the developer pay as he will only
make money from it and they will loose all their equity and peace and quiet and

D-9 David Climenhage, Chairman, Greater Canadian Town Band Festival, requesting
Council's support for the continuation of Greater Canadian Town Band Festival
in 2001 and future years as a major international band festival. Mr. Climenhage
believes this years' festival was a great success. Over 3000 people attended the
events over July I" weekend that included the Military Tattoo, Victorian Ball,
The Callathumpian parade and the series of concerts held throughout the village.
Their audience was entertained by some of Canada's finest bands and experienced
the sounds of historic bands that have rarely been heard in Canada. The cost of
mounting this festival is high because of the outstanding quality of bands, the
travel expenses for visiting bands and the cost of staging and advertising the
event. After all revenues and costs are included they have a budget deficit from
their first year of approximately $16,000. The festival committee raised a total of
approximately $70,000 in cash and their total expenses were $86,000. If the in-
kind donations of $20,000 are included, their revenue would total $90.000 raised
versus $106,000 in total expenses. The Great Canadian Town Band Festival is
unique in Canada and has the potential to become a major tourist attraction. Mr.
Climenhage is requesting support from Council in the form of a loan to finance
this years deficit and to consider a level of sponsorship for next year. Their
committee is developing an aggressive plan to fund raise so that they will repay
the deficit and cover all expenses for next year's Great Canadian Town Band
Festival.

The heating costs are higher this year, also it will be checked whether we own our
hot water tank and the costs involved to purchase it
The Collections Repairs is over budget because of the costs to restore the Player
Piano, which was on the 1999 budget but not completed until April 2000, and it
will be marked and noted.
— $40,000. will be transferred to a Flexible GIC.

Tim reported on the Grant applications he received from Charles:
CP - doesn't think that anything we are doing right now qualifies for this grant.
— Ontario Trillium - this is a link grant (we would have to link up with another
group) and he feels there is too much paper work involved, before and afterwards.
Heritage Challenge Fund - this is a matching funds grant which would be from
fundraising, with no more than 25% coming from Municipal or Provincial funds.
— Museum Assistance Program - this can be used for the preservation of an existing
building (ie. Potting Shed) and is a 50% matching funds program. This is the grant
that Tim felt was the most promising.
Sher reported on a Funding Meeting she attended in Whitby. Representatives of six
organizations reported on the funds they have available for grants. She felt that the
Ontario Trillium Foundation was the most promising but suggested that the Board come
up with a "Wish List" for the next meeting and then they can match the wishes to the
grants available.
It was also suggested that a committee meet with Al Strike to discuss the Trillium Grant
and have his input on the application forms.
Motion - to defer the grants and meeting with Al Strike to the Finance &
Planning Committee.

Attention: Mr. John Grieves
Dear Mr. Grieves,
Re: Goodvear Canada Inc. Settlement
Bowmanville Creek n ��
Municipality of Clarington ft'
CLOCA File �—
Thank you for advising us of the status of charges against Goodyear Canada Inc.,
regarding the petroleum spill on Bowmanville Creek. We would like to take this
opportunity to suggest possible projects that could be undertaken to improve the fish
habitat of Bowmanville Creek. If a settlement is reached with Goodyear, we believe that
the best use of any resulting funds is the completion of fish habitat improvement projects
on the watershed.
As you are aware, we have just completed the Bowmanville Soper Creek Aquatic
Resource Management Plan. The report contains numerous conclusions and
recommendations for projects that could be undertaken to improve the fish habitat of the
watershed. We would like to undertake a Bowmanville Soper Creek Aquatic Resource
Management Plan Implementation Program to carry out these recommendations and
projects. An example of possible projects that could be undertaken include:
• Study fish passage through the Goodyear dam fishway, and make structural
improvements as deemed appropriate. (reference: p 159, recommendation 1)
• Complete stream stability studies through the Vanstone Dam area, and undertake
restoration works. (reference: p130)
• Creation of a sea lamprey barrier in the vicinity of Baseline Road (reference: p 159,
recommendation 2)
• Provide funding for land stewardship projects, including riparian vegetation
restoration (reference: p 143), reforestation (reference: p 145), and in -stream fish
habitat improvements (reference p 145).
• Acquire environmentally sensitive land for conservation and protection of fish
habitat
Providing funding to CLOCA for the Implementation Program has several additional
benefits. CLOCA works closely with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Ministry of
- - Natural Resources, and meet regularly to discuss fishery issues and projects. CLOCA
has significant in house expertise and experience with fish habitat issues, and has a
Level 3 agreement with DFO for the administration of Section 35 of the Fisheries Act.
CLOCA also has the ability to match any funding through partnerships with federal,
provincial, municipal, or private interests.
Finally, CLOCA is committed to working with the community. The ARMP has been
developed through a public process with input from other agencies, academic
organizations, interest groups, and the general public. We also recognize the efforts of
Valleys 2000, and the Bowmanville Anglers, and look forward to assisting these public
interest groups in their endeavours.
In conclusion, the Bowmanville Soper Aquatic Resource Management Plan
Implementation Program is a great opportunity to close the door on environmental
damages as a result of an accidental petroleum spill, and to apply any resulting funding
to protecting and improving fish habitat on the same watershed.
We trust this is to your satisfaction. Please feel free to contact the undersigned if you
have any comments.
Yours truly,
J.R. Powell, CAO,

Subject: VICIOUS DOG DECLARATION • GILKS
It is respectfully recommended:
THAT Report CO -50-00 be received; and
2. THAT the vicious dog declaration served on Nicole Gilks be upheld.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
Nicole Gilks lives at 50 Bradshaw Street, Bowmanville and has four dogs (two adults and two pups). On
September 6, 2000, her neighbour called police and indicated that there is an ongoing problem with the
dogs barking and running loose. On this date, the dogs started barking again and the owners were at
home. The neighbour decided to go over and ask the owners to keep the dogs quiet (it was approximately
2:00 a.m.) The door wasn't closed tightly and when she knocked on it, it swung open. Two of the dogs
began barking and charged at her. The screen door was closed but, due to the fact that there was no
screen, the dogs came right through the door. The two dogs attacked and the neighbour was bit on the
- back of her right leg. Her screaming alerted another neighbour who came out and assisted. The woman
was taken to Lakeview Health, Bowmanville and treated. She suffered severe bruising from the bite. This
neighbour is concerned for the safety of the residents of the neighbourhood.
The Department of Health ordered the dogs to be quarantined at their residence for a period of 10 days.
This quarantine period was to end on September 15, however, when our officers went to the property on
September 11, the dogs were running outside. All four dogs are presently being held at the Animal
Shelter. The two adults are suffering from an extreme case of Fleas.
Following investigation of the incident, the Animal Services Officer issued a declaration of vicious dog to
Ms. Gilks. The declaration requires the owner of the vicious dog to:
1. licence and register the dog with the Clarington Animal Shelter and have the dog permanently
Proof of such registration must be provided to the Animal Services Division within 30 daidentified by microchip implantation, at his expense, within 21 days of receipt of the Declaration.
ys;
2. notify Clarington Animal Shelter immediately upon relocating the dog or upon transfenfng
ownership of the dog;
Report CD -50-00 2. September 25, 2000
3. restrain the dog at all times, while the dog is on her own property, by keeping her enclosed in a
pen or other enclosure in such a manner as to prevent the dog from leaving the property and to
prevent contact with people and other animals;
restrain the dog at all times, while the dog is off her own property, with the use of a muzzle and a
leash no longer than 6 feet and under the care and control of a person who is 16 years of age or
older.
Ms. Gilks pleaded guilty and was charged with two offences for failure to licence. The first offence, the
court imposed a $50.00 fine and the second offence Ms. Gilks received a suspended sentence.
Ms. Gilks will be addressing Council to appeal the vicious dog declaration on September 25, 2000. It is
staffs recommendation that the vicious dog declaration be upheld.

2.0 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
2.1 At the meeting on November 3, 1997, Council approved the recommendations contained ii,
Report #Admin -47-97 and authorized the execution of Principles of Understanding with Blue
Circle Canada Inc. ("Blue Circle"). That report discussed in some detail the complex ant
interrelated components of the Principles of Understanding including land transfers, the
acquisition of Cove Road (then a private road) and certain additional land. the reconstruction
of Cove Road. the construction of approaches and a bridge over the Westside Creek an(
dedication of the same as a public highway, financial arrangements with Blue Circle and the
making of certain other agreements and arrangements. The Principles of Understanding -
implemented recommendations of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust.
2.2 At the meeting on June 19, 2000, Council approved the recommendations contained it
Report Solic-0-00 and authorized the execution of the Fourth Amending Agreement to tht
Report No. WD -36-00
Page 3
Principles of Understanding. (The Principles of Understanding dated November 3, 1997, as
amended are referred to in this report as the "Principles".)
2.3 At the meeting on October 6, 1997, Council approved the recommendations contained in
Report WD# -64-97 that conditional on Council's approval of an agreement with Blue Circle,
staff be authorized to prepare by-laws for Council's approval to stop up and close and
authorize the conveyance to Blue Circle of a portion of Waverly Road, and to dedicate a
portion of the Blue Circle haul road and its extension as a temporary public highway. The
Principles of Understanding dated November 3, 1997 satisfied the condition respecting an
agreement with Blue Circle.
2.4 At the meeting on November 3, 1997, Council also passed By-law No. 97-249 dealing with
the Temporary Public Highway. Parts 7 and 9 on Plan 40R-17774 and Parts 12 and 13 on
Plan 40R-17775 (see Attachment No. 2) were dedicated as a public highway until a by-law
is passed dedicating Cove Road and the connections of it via a bridge over Westside Creek
to Cedar Crest Beach Road. The land required for it was part of Blue Circle's haul road and
was leased to the Municipality for a term that ends when the Cove Road dedication by
is passed.
2.5 At the same meeting, Council passed By-law Nos. 97-250, 97-251 and 97-252 to stop up and
close as a public highway a portion of Waverly Road described as Closure Area A in the
Principles, declare it and associated reserves to be surplus under Section 193 of the
Municipal Act, and to authorize the conveyance of the lands comprising Closure Area A and
associated reserves, being Parts 1, 3 and 5 on Plan 40R-17774 to Blue Circle as provided for
in the Principles. The transfer of these lands to Blue Circle will not take place until the
"Closing Date" provided for in the Principles. It is expected that the Closing Date will occur
before the end of July, 2000.
2.6 As provided for in the Principles, Public Works has given Blue Circle written notice that
Cove Road, the Westside Creek Bridge and the approaches to them have been constructed
or reconstructed to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. As a consequence,
subject to Council's consideration of representations made at the public hearing on July 10.
2000, Council now can pass a by-law dedicating Cove Road, the Westside Creek Bridge and
the approaches to them being Parts t, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 on Plan 40R-17895
(see Attachment No. 1) as a public highway and assume them for public use.
2.7 If Council decides to dedicate Cove Road , the Westside Creek Bridge and approaches to
them as a public highway, it would be appropriate to pass by-laws to stop up and close the
Temporary Public Highway as a public highway on Parts 7 and 9 on Plan 40R-17774, to
declare Part 9 to be surplus and to authorize the release and surrender of any interest of the
Municipality in Part 9 on Plan 40R-17774 (see Attachment No. 2) to Blue Circle.
No. WD -36-00

2.8 The Principles provide that after the passing of the dedication by-law referred to in paragraph
2.6, Council will consider whether to close and authorize the conveyance to Blue Circle of
the portion of Waverly Road described as Closure Area B (see Attachment No. 3), together
with the associated reserves. Public Works has determined that an appropriate area for
turning vehicles can be provided entirely within the portion of Waverly Road at the southerly
end of the Hydro One Transmission Corridor, without requiring the transfer of an easement
from Hydro One Transmission Corridor to the Municipality, to accommodate the turning
area for this purpose.
2.9 If the Temporary Public Highwav is closed, the Municipality will not require Closure Area
B to be retained as a public highway. Accordingly, subject to Council's consideration of
representations made at the public hearing on July 10, 2000, Council could pass by-laws to
declare them surplus, to stop up and close Parts 1, 2, 3, 12 and 13 on Plan 40R-17775 as a
public highway, to declare Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 on Plan
40R-17775 surplus and to authorize the transfer of the latter Parts to Blue Circle.
2.10 Prior to the negotiation and the execution of the Principles by the Municipality on November
3, 1997, and the passing of the by-laws referred to in paragraph 2.5, Council had obtained
an assessment of the fair market value of the portions of Waverly Road and associated
reserves abutting Blue Circle's lands. However, as noted above, the Principles contain
complex and interrelated provisions dealing with land transfers, the cost of the reconstruction
of Cove Road and the cost of construction of the Westside Creek Bridge and approaches as
well as other financial burdens assumed by Blue Circle and the Municipality, respectively.
2.11 Attachment No. 6 to Report #Admin -47-97 is a memorandum from Franklin Wu, then the
Director of Planning and Development, to W.H. Stockwell, then the Chief Administrative
Officer, in which Mr. Wu recommended that Waverly Road be deemed surplus and be closed
and conveyed to Blue Circle in exchange for a portion of the Westside Marsh and other lands
on both sides of West Beach Road. Mr. Wu also stated that the land exchange is necessary
to implement the recommendation of the Regeneration Trust and is in compliance with the
procedure governing the sale of real property as set out in By-law No. 95-22. (The latter by-
law was passed under section 193 of the Municipal Act and establishes procedures governing
the sale of real property.).
2.12 Blue Circle is the owner of the lands abutting Closure Area B and located both to the east
and to the west of it. It is recommended that by-laws be passed declaring the lands within
Closure Area B to be surplus and notwithstanding section 7 of By-law No. 95-22, to
authorize their transfer to Blue Circle as abutting owner for a nominal consideration.

3.1
No. WD -36-00
Closure Area D referred to in the Principles is a portion of Waverly Road located northerly
of the intersection of Waverly Road and Watson Drive. It comprises Parts 2. 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9,
10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 on Plan 40R-19843 (see Attachment No. 4). Parts 8, 9, 10,
I 1 and 12 comprise the portion of Waverly Road within Closure Area D. The other parts are
associated reserves. Blue Circle has consented to the closure of Parts 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 as
a public highway and to the conveyance of these Parts and the associated reserves to
CLOCA, provided that certain easements are first transferred to Blue Circle in Parts 2, 4, 5,
9, 10, 12, 15, 17 and 18 on Plan 40R-19843. The easements proposed to be transferred to
Blue Circle are described in the Public Notice (see Attachment No.5), The easementsar
rm re
required to allow Blue Circle to construct and maintain a portion of an acoustic be
certain land, the overflow channel from the Westside Marsh on the land and to access lands
to the east and west on Closure Area D on which certain works will be constructed and
maintained by Blue Circle to implement the Principles and other agements. The lands to
re
be transferred to CLOCA will be managed by CLOCA with the Reconfigured Westside
Marsh and other areas as part of the Bowmanville/Westside Marsh Complex pursuant to a
Management Agreement with the Municipality which is contemplated by the Principles.
The portion of Waverly Road within Closure Area D is not required as a public highway.
Subject to Council's consideration of representations made at the public hearing on July 10,
2000, it is recommended that a by-law be passed to stop up and close as a public highway
Parts 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 on Plan 40R-19843. It is also recommended that notwithstanding
section 7 of By-law No. 95-22, Parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 be
declared surplus. It is further recommended that a by-law be passed authorizing the transfer
to Blue Circle for a nominal consideration of easements in Parts 2. 4, 5, 9, 10. 12, 15, 17 a
18 on Plan 40R-19843 as described in the Public Notice contained in Attachment No. 5 and nd
subject to these easements, Parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17. 18 and 19 on Plan
40R-19843 be transferred to CLOCA for a nominal consideration.
RECOMMENDATION
The by-laws and transfers of lands referred to in this report will complete the land
transactions provided for in the Principles of Understanding with Blue Circle in accordance
with the intent of the Principles and are recommended for approval for that reason.
Respectfully submitted,

Ree mend )us:
It is respectfully recommended to Council the following:
I • THAT Addendum to Report WD -36-00 be received.
REPORT
1.0 BACKGROUND
I.1 On July 10, 2000, Council held a public meeting in respect of the proposed by-laws
contained in Report WD -36-00 as required by the Municipal Act. No person made
representations to Council respecting any of the by-laws.
1.2 Since the first closing of the Principles of Understanding between Blue Circle Canada
Inc. and the Municipality of Clarington had not occurred before July 10, 2000, on the
Solicitor's advice, Council deferred consideration of Report WD -36-00 until the Solicitor
advised that the first closing has occurred. You have now been advised that the first
closing has occurred.
1.3 Section 193 of the Municipal Act requires that as a general rule, before surplus land of
the Municipality can be sold, an appraisal of the fair market value of the property must be
obtained.
1.4 Report WD -36-00 recommends the sale for a nominal consideration of the lands and
easements which had been transferred to the Municipality by Blue Circle Canada Inc. in
escrow at the first closing, to CLOCA for a nominal consideration. CLOCA has entered
into a Management Agreement with the Municipality in respect of these lands and
easements as well as an Option Agreement under which the Municipality may reacquire
ADDENDUM TO REPORT NO.: WD -36-00
PAGE
these lands and acquire other parts of the Bowmanville Marsh from CLOCA if certain
events occur.
1.5 Property Valuators/Consulting Inc. were retained to prepare an appraisal of fair market
value of the lands and easements v, nick were transferred by Blue Circle to the
Municipality in escrow. The appraisal dated June 23, 2000 is available for examination
by Council and interested members of the public in the Clerk's office.
1.6 The fair market value of Waverly Road including Closure Areas B and D was previously
appraised by Cornwall Property Consuuants Limited. A copy of the Cornwall appraisal
is also available in the Clerk's office for examination by Council and interested members
of the Public.
1.7 Blue Circle's lease of a portion of the haul road to the Municipality as a temporary public
highway will terminate automatically when Council passes a by-law to dedicate Cove
Road and the Westside Creek Bridge as a public highway. The passing of the road
closing by-law is necessary to change the legal characteristic of the land from land having
the legal characteristic of a public highway so that it will again become the private
property of Blue Circle.
2.0 CONCLUSION
2.1 This report is provided for Council's information in order that Council can comply with
section 193 of the Municipal Act.

1. BACKGROUND
1.1 In 1996 Council authorized the Municipality to enter into negotiations with Blue Circle
Canada Inc. (Blue Circle) to implement the recommendations of the report of the
Waterfront Regeneration Trust entitled "Westside Marsh - Report and
Recommendations". Arising from these discussions are the "Principles of
Understanding" between Blue Circle and the Municipality of Clarington which were
adopted by Council on November 3, 1997. This agreement contains a number of
REPORT PD -076-00
PAGE 2
conditions that must be fulfilled by both the Municipality and Blue Circle towards the
completion in the arrangements.
1.2 Included in the "Principles of Understanding" are proposed changes to the Durham
Regional Official Plan, Clarington Official Plan and the Municipality's Zoning By-law
which were agreed to by staff and representatives of Blue Circle. On November 3, 1997
Council approved the modification to the Clarington Official Plan and requested the
Region to modify the Regional Official Plan upon the fulfillment of conditions by both
the Municipality and Blue Circle. In addition, two zoning by-laws were prepared that
would implement the concept and were attached as Schedules to the "Principles of
Understanding". The Municipality agreed to initiate the process under the Planning Act
to rezone the lands associated with the Westside Creek diversion, the Westside and
Bowmanville Marshes and the Marsh Link Area, and on January 19, 1998, a Public
Meeting was held in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act.
2. APPLICATION DETAILS

4• OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
4.1 Durham Reeional Official Plan
4.1.1 The lands subject to application DEV 97-083 include the future creek diversion, a portion
of the Bowmanville Marsh and other small holdings. These areas are designated "Major
Open Space" and "Waterfront Link" in the Regional Official Plan. The designations
appropriately reflect the current and future status of the lands.
4.1.2 The lands subject to Application DEV 97-084 include a portion of the Westside Marsh
and Marsh Link Area. They are designated as "Special Policy Area B" within the
Durham Regional Official Plan. In ADMIN Report 47-97, Council requested the Region
of Durham to amend the Official Plan to reflect the "Principles of Understanding" with
REPORT PD -076-00
PAGE 4
Blue Circle. Council also requested that the Region not adopt the proposed modification be
to the Official Plan until such time as the temporary public highway is closed and the '
Lease is released to Blue Circle. By-laws to close and convey this temporary public S
highway will be considered by Council on Julv 10. 2000.
4.2 Clarington Official Plan ;p,
4.2.1 The lands subject to application DEV 97-083 are designated "Waterfront Greenway" and tei
"Environmental Protection" in the Clarington Official Plan. The designation
appropriately reflects the current and future status of these lands. r
4.2.2 The lands subject to Application DEV 97-084 are designated as "Special Policy Area 2"
and are also deferred in the Clarington Official Plan. In ADMIN Report 47-97, Council
recommended approval of Modification # 170 to the Clarington Official Plan which s
redesignates the reconfigured Westside Marsh and other lands as Environmental
Protection Area. This modification also proposes a number of changes designed to L
implement the "Principles of Understanding" and to ensure that existing irritants of noise v
and dust will not be further aggravated as quarrying activities proceed easterly. The uc
modification is to be approved by the Region of Durham at such time as the temporary a}
public highway is closed and the Lease is released to Blue Circle. 'p
ty
5. ZONING BY-LAW PROVISIONS cc
5.1 The lands associated with these applications are currently zoned "Agricultural (A)" and tit
"Extractive industrial Exception (M3-1)". The proposed by-law amendment will zone re.
the majority of the lands "Environmental Protection (EP)" to reflect the new creek
diversion, the green space system, and to protect the reconfigured marsh. Those lands la
located within the Hydro One Networks Inc. corridor and not committed to the creek
diversion area, shall be zoned "Agricultural (A)" as these lands are not required for the an
conveyance of the creek and the hazards associated with the creek.
ns
6. PUBLIC MEETING AND SUBMISSIONS
6.1 The public meeting for this proposed amendment to the Municipality's Zoning By-law, as
REPORT PD -076-00
PAGE 5
required by the Planning Act, was held on January 19, 1998. In accordance with the
regulations of the Planning Act, public notice was mailed to each landowner within the
prescribed 120 metre (400 ft) distance and a notice was placed in the Canadian
Statesman.
6.2 At the Public Meeting, one resident stated that they are generally in favour of saving as
much of the marsh as is possible. This resident also stated that concerns pertaining to
noise and dust are being addressed. There has been no other correspondence received by
the Planning Department either in support or opposition to this application.
7. AGENCY COMMENTS
7.1 The rezoning applications were circulated to various departments and agencies for
comment. Comments were not received from the Ministry of Natural Resources, the
Ministry of Transportation, C. N. Rail and CLOCA. Although comments were not
received, these agencies are aware of the process. CLOCA, in particular, has been an
active participant in fulfilling the "Principles of Understanding".
7.2 The Municipality of Clarington Fire Department and Public Works Department have no
objection to these applications. Also, Clarington Hydro, now Veridian, had no objection
to the application, but did request to receive a copy of the proposed plan for the
reconstruction of Cove Road in order to examine if there will be any impact to services.
7.3 The Region of Durham Planning Department advised that detailed comments will be
provided prior to the Region acting on the deferral (Deferral No. 1). They advise that any
zoning amendment for DEV 97-084 will not come into force and effect until the required
Official Plan policies are approved. The attached by-law references that the zoning will
come into effect when the deferral is resolved.
7.4 On April 10, 2000 Hydro One Networks Inc. advised verbally that they had concerns
regarding the extent of the "EP" zoning for their corridor lands. Hydro One Networks
Inc. is considering additional revenue opportunities for linear services which would be
REPORT PD -076-00
PAGE 6
constructed within their corridors (e.g. fibre optic cable). Accordingly they requested
that the zoned lands be restricted to the diversion channel lands only.
7.5 In April 2000, Blue Circle Canada. in review of the proposed zoning, confirmed that an
easement exists, in favour of Blue Circle Canada, to allow access to the quant' across
Hydro One Networks Inc. corridor lands west of Waverly Road. These lands are
currently zoned "Agricultural (A)". In accordance with the "Principals of
Understanding", Hydro One Networks Inc. lands in their entirety were to be zoned
"Environmental Protection (EP)". Blue Circle expressed concern that rezoning the entire
corridor lands, including the easement, "Environmental Protection" would not accurately
reflect the entrance use.
Blue Circle also requested that the zoning of the lands located west of the Waverly Road
adjacent to the Overflow Channel Lands "A", `B" and "C" (Attachment No. 1), reflect
the registered plan for this area. The lands used for the purposes of conveying water
from the marsh to Lake Ontario, including the easement lands to provide access to
maintain the Overflow Channel will be zoned "Environmental Protection (EP)". The
lands located west of the features will be zoned "Extractive Industrial Exception (M3-1)".
S. STAFF COMMENTS
8.1 The applications for rezoning have been initiated by the Municipality of Clarington as
agreed upon in the "Principles of Understanding". By-laws were prepared and form part
of the "Principles of Understanding" being Schedule "N" and "O" respectfully. Although
the agreement indicates the intent of both parties to proceed with the zoning by-laws
identified in the agreement, it expressly indicates that Council's legislative discretion is
not fettered by the agreement. The clause recognized that the previous Council could not
bind the current Council. It also recognized the public notice requirements of the
Planning Act that needed to be followed prior to making a decision.
8.2 Ownership of much of the land subject to these applications will be transferred to Central
Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA). The rezoning of the subject lands
REPORT PD -076-00
allows for revisions to assessed value to reflect the limited range of uses under
conservation authority management.
8.3 Cove Road has been reconstructed and the bridge connecting Cove Road and Cedar Crest
Beach Road has been constructed and is currently being traveled upon. Council on July
10, 2000 will consider by-laws to adopt Cove Road as a public highway and to officially
accept and open the bridge. Public Works has confirmed that Veridian has had
Opportunities to review the plans to assess if there will be any impacts to their service.
8.4 Hydro One Networks Inc.'s concerns have been reviewed. As the surveys of the creek
diversion area have been completed for these lands and deposited with the registry office,
their request can be accommodated. The 'Environmental Protection (EP)" zoning will
reflect the limits of the creek diversion and the remainder of the lands will be zoned
"Agricultural (A)".
8.5 Blue Circle Canada's request have been reviewed and as previously established as per
Hydro One Networks Inc. request, only these lands used for the creek diversion works
will be zoned `Environmental Protection". As such, the lands subject to the easement for
the entrance to the quarry are currently zoned "Agricultural (A)" and will remain so
zoned as such. With respect to the lands located west of Channel Lands "A", `E" and
"C", these will be zoned "Extractive Industrial Exception (M3-1)".
9. CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the by-laws which accompany this report as Attachment No. 2
and Attachment No. 3 be approved. The by-law for DEV 97-084 (Attachment No
will not come into force . 3)and effect until such time as the appropriate modifications to the
Municipal Official Plan and Regional Official Plan are adopted in accordance with
Section 24(2) of the Planning Act.
