Mr. DiPalo explained to the Members of Council that several members of the Association have expressed concerns with the proposed by-law to amend 3 T Clarbgton May 25, 2020 Council Meeting the zoning to implement the Bowmanville Character Study. He understands that the Municipality would like to maintain the character of the area but he feels this is at the expense of the home builders and home owners in the area. Mr. DiPalo believes that all parties involved need to work together to come to an agreement to keep the character in tact and not limit the developers. He added that he feels the current proposed by-law will limit the developers, lower property values and cause unnecessary restrictions. Mr. DiPalo noted that he has concerns with Section 1f which will not allow homes to have a three car or oversized garage. He is also concerned with Section 1 d to limit driveway size, and 1 e as it will make it extremely difficult to build a two-storey home without applying for a minor variance. He added that Section 1 c is very restrictive with respect to lot coverage. Mr. DiPalo added that he feels this By-law is not consistent with Bill 108. Mr. DiPalo concluded by encouraging Council to not approve this By-law and asked for it to be referred back to Staff to work with Durham Homebuilders Association to work towards a compromise. He answered questions from the Members of Council. 8.2 Patty Rice, regarding Report PSD -015-20, Proposed Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning to Implement the Bowmanville Neighbourhood Character Study (Item 1 of the Planning and Development Committee Report) Councillor Neal declared an indirect interest in Report PSD -015-20, Proposed Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning to Implement the Bowmanville Neighbourhood Character Study (Item 1 of the Planning and Development Committee Report), as it relates to his law practice.

Patty Rice was present via electronic means regarding Report PSD -015-20, Proposed Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning to Implement the Bowmanville Neighbourhood Character Study (Item 1 of the Planning and Development Committee Report). Ms. Rice explained that she is a local resident and both her property and her father's property are within the Neighbourhood Character Study area. Ms. Rice explained that her home is a two-storey, two garage home built in 1964. She noted that they had an Urban Planner assess the property and advised that if the proposed By-law amendment is passed it will result in their property being non -complaint in three areas including height, lot coverage and garage size. Ms. Rice noted that in her correspondence it notes a lot size of 120 meters and that is should have been 120 feet. She concluded by asking for both 62 and 64 Prospect Street to be provided an exemption to this By-law as she feels it is reasonable and appropriate and keeps with the character of the neighbourhood. Ms. Rice answered questions from the Members of Council. 3 3 1] Clarington May 25, 2020 Council Meeting 9.

Box 20 Toronto, Ontario M5H 2T6 Canada MEMORANDUM To: Council Municipality of Clarington From: Guy W. Giorno Integrity Commissioner Date: June 8, 2020 Re: Council Members and Alleged By-law Infractions T +1 416 366 8381 +1800 268 8424 F +1 416 364 7813 fasken.com This memorandum responds to a question raised during the May 11 General Government Committee meeting. The Clerk referred the matter to me. On May 27 I was sent a link to the video of the meeting so that I could understand the context in which the question was raised. Issue Can a Council Member who believes that a by-law infraction has occurred report the alleged infraction to the Municipal Law Enforcement Division? Summary A Council Member who has reason to believe that a by-law has been contravened may report the matter to the Municipal Law Enforcement Division. In reporting the matter, the Council Member should simply communicate facts and not express an opinion about how the by-law should be enforced. Thereafter, in order to avoid influencing or interfering with Municipal Law Enforcement, the Council Member should not communicate about how the matter should be handled. A report should be based on direct (first-hand) knowledge. If information about the alleged infraction comes from a constituent, then the constituent should be informed how to contact Municipal Law Enforcement. Discussion The question about the permissibility of communication with Municipal Law Enforcement arises from my report to Council in Re Partner, 2018 ONMIC 16. 901WE FASKEN I stated in the Partner report (at paragraph 51) that: The fact that a Council Member is communicating about a by-law enforcement matter does not necessarily mean that the Council Member has overstepped his or her role. The answer depends on whether the Council Member is impermissibly interfering on the case or is properly communicating. Section 8.3 of the Code of Conduct establishes the basis for determining whether a Council Member is impermissibly interfering in the case or is properly communicating. It reads, in part: No member shall ... c) use or attempt to further his or her authority or influence by intimidating, threatening, coercing, commanding or influencing improperly any staff member or interfering with that staff person's duties, including the duty to disclose improper activity [underlining added] The wording of section 8.3 indicates that not all communication is prohibited. Communication crosses the line only when it involves "intimidating, threatening, coercing, commanding or influencing improperly ... or interfering ..." Communication that does not attempt to influence improperly or to interfere is therefore allowed. Section 8.3 says "influencing improperly." When is influence considered to be improper? The answer is based on the important principle that law enforcement must be independent of political direction. If an elected official tries to influence how the law is enforced in a particular case — including whether or not to write a ticket, or whether or not to pursue or to continue an investigation — then the influence is improper. In the Partner case, I found that these words in an email contravened section 8.3(c): ... it is a commercial use that should not be taking place. ... I can't believe we allow this. I found that these words were intended to influence how members of the Municipal Law Enforcement Division exercised their discretion in handling a particular case. This improper influence and interference constituted the violation of section 8.3(c). Contrast the above language ("I can't believe we allow this") to a simple reporting of facts. Simply reporting the fact of a possible bylaw infraction, without attempting to influence, would not contravene section 8.3(c). The key is to respect the independence of the Municipal Law Enforcement Division. As long as it is understood that the by-law enforcement officer possesses discretion to investigate (or not) and to issue a ticket (or not), and as long as there is no attempt to influence the exercise of that discretion, then the Council Member complies with section 8.3(c). On the other hand, if the Council Member expresses an opinion on how Municipal Law Enforcement should handle the matter, whether at the time of the original report or afterward, then such communication would probably constitute an attempt to influence improperly and/or interfere with law enforcement, contrary to section 8.3(c). 2 3 ®❑ FASKEN A Council Member who believes that a by-law infraction has occurred or is occurring may report the matter to the Municipal Law Enforcement Division. In reporting the matter, the Council Member should simply communicate facts and not express an opinion about how the by-law should be enforced. Thereafter, the Council Member should not communicate about how the matter should be handled. Constituent Referrals Council Members rightly try to be responsive to constituent concerns. It is understood that the Council Member role includes helping residents to access municipal services and to understand how the Municipality operates. It often also includes troubleshooting. Good constituent service is an understandable, laudable objective. In law enforcement matters, however, constituent service is limited by the rule that law enforcement must be independent and free from political direction. Council Members may wonder whether it is appropriate to forward a constituent communication/ complaint to Municipal Law Enforcement without opinion, elaboration, or editorial comment. My recommendation is to avoid this practice. First, this hypothetical question assumes that it is possible to forward the communication without making comment. In practice, forwarding without commenting may be difficult. Commenting on the merits of the complaint, or on how it should be handled, would contravene section 8.3(c). Second, the mere act of forwarding a constituent complaint could imply Council Member endorsement of the content. Endorsing a by- law complaint would contravene section 8.3(c). Third, unless the constituent contacts Municipal Law Enforcement directly, it will be unclear whether the constituent understands the implications and intends to trigger the law enforcement process. The Council Member who triggers the law enforcement process on behalf of a constituent runs the risk of subsequently being told this was not what the constituent intended or wanted. Fourth, law enforcement operates on the basis of evidence. This means the Municipal Law Enforcement Division will need to contact the constituent who possesses the facts; when that occurs, it would be inappropriate for the Council Member to be the intermediary between Municipal Law Enforcement and the constituent. The role of intermediary is avoided entirely if the constituent is the one to approach Municipal Law Enforcement in the first place. I recommend that a Council Member should make a report to Municipal Law Enforcement only if the Council Member has direct (first-hand) knowledge of the facts being reported. The Council Member should not pass on second-hand information. Instead, the Council Member should explain to the constituent how to contact the Municipal Law Enforcement Division so that the constituent can, if desired, make the report directly. It is important for the Council Member only to provide contact information and information about the process, not to encourage/discourage the constituent's action. Reporting to Municipal Law Enforcement must be the constituent's decision. 3 3 ®❑ cla ' 0 rM9tOI1 Memo If this information is required in an alternate format, please contact the Accessibility Co-ordinator at 905-623-3379 ext. 2131 To: Mayor and Council From: Trevor Pinn, CPA, CA ❑ Director of Finance / Treasurer Date: June 9, 2020 Subject: Proposed Amendments to Property Tax Relief Program File: Good afternoon, Councillor Neal and I have met regarding Report FND-018-20 to address his concerns with the recommendations. Councillor Neal would like to propose the following amendments at the June 15, 2020 Council meeting: 1. That recommendation#2n�7KDVC\al[m-)31FFPoK��I-D>\/HiElIR)URCi -I❑ establishment of a tax rebate by-law under section 365 of the Municipal Act, 2001 [fie removed.

That the definitions section of the by-law be amended as follows: a. 6I-FOCE21FL-IJDP 1HGXFHW-I-URP H1KUWRO-UP -15.0% to 5.0%; and b. 6 HPARQ❑ [1G❑be amended to reduce the savings threshold from 50.0% to 20.0°/x; 4. That the relief opportunities section of the by-law be amended as follows: a. 61-FWUU[dD❑be amended to remove the 50% reduction in the calculation., b. Section 1 3TElbe amended to reduce the overall program from $2,000,000 to $1,000,000; and c. Section 6 be amended to include any penalties and interest levied on or after July 1, 2020 to be cancelled, reduced or refunded 3 T❑ Page 12 I have the following comments: ❑ Under section 365 of the Municipal Act, 2001 1KHLG-IIE1AUfR 1XXQGKOL NQGHD/RP HFU-- iH!Fu law approving the rebate program. The original report attempts to define this reasonably, ensuring that the spirit of the section in the Act is followed, that being that it should not be easy to meet the definition as the taxpayer would not be unduly burdened. As this program has not been done before, Clarington is the only municipality in Ontario (and to my information in Canada) looking at rebating property taxes for COVID, there are no comparators for defining unduly burdensome. ❑ The average tax as a percentage of household income is normally approximately 5%, which includes all property taxes, in theory the municipal taxes would be approximately 1.7% of household income. Reducing the threshold could be considered reasonable when looking solely at the municipal portion of taxes, rather than a total property tax. At a 5% level, assuming a $500,000 assessment, the maximum monthly household income that a taxpayer could have and still qualify for the rebate would be $3,275 (this is increased from $1,092 under a 15% level). ❑ The proposed savings threshold would change to 20% from 50%. This would mean that if, assuming $500,000 assessment and a four-month period, a taxpayer has less than $3,260 (this is increased from $1,304) in non -registered savings the taxpayer would qualify, provided they meet the income test. Staff do not want to get into making debates on other assets (cars, boats, etc) and whether VRP Hsi / Hd= OIIXQ:;XOL XIEHCH 3❑ 7 KVW why the asset test was restricted to savings accounts. F- Rebates would not be issued until the pandemic is over which would likely result in taxpayers incurring interest and penalties for unpaid taxes. The suggestion is that penalties and interest also be included in the rebated amount, subject to the $1,000,000 program limit. ❑ It is suggested that as the qualifications are restrictive, that the level for which the rebate should be provided could be higher. This would provide scoped support for those most in need, I agree with that theory. The harder the program is to qualify, the greater the need for the individual, the higher the rebate should be. The original 50% was suggested as it was included in the resolution from Council, Council is free to adjust this amount. The annual municipal taxes on a $500,000 assessment is $1,965.38 which is $163.78/month. Assuming a four month period the total rebate, for those qualifying, would be $655.12.

I am also one of the Ehrenwort Trail tour guides. I have been following the progress (or lack of) at this site since the beginning and want to thank you for what has been done with your support so far. For over 10 years Camp 30 has been in the forefront of our minds and a part of our broader community discussions. It has been a long hard fight to get the property owners to agree to something that would help in its preservation. The longer they leave the buildings unsecured properly and keep breaching bylaws, the more damage is being done. Active security which was supposed to be part of the 2016 agreement has been non- existent for over a year. More recently we have worried about the health hazard inside the buildings as there is asbestos inside and with the buildings compromised by being open, people including families with small children have been seen in the buildings where they could be breathing the asbestos. There are no warnings of this hazard and that is really problematic. ACO Clarington has been an advocate for this site throughout the ups and downs. We have been conducting the Ehrenwort Trail Tours for 4 years now with a total 56 tours having taken place with 1195 tourists attending. We have been educating these tourists on the history of the camp and the training school. Interest has been significant with the history of both the Training School & Camp 30, as well as with preservation of this site. We know we could offer more tours if our guide resources were greater. There is definitely an interest. We feel that the developers should not have the power to control or breach agreements of a designated parkland. A lot of work has been done to develop a community vision D_G_S®❑dR_AAHL\ WVLLEW''-H-LF0(3❑❑[S❑❑(F_FT"_6®MDFMME-I09*HMHLV/A/LRKkRN be able to change the plans as they feel suits their goals or to take a national historical site as hostage. A cooperative approach would be best but this has been an ongoing struggle and we have to wonder beyond using mediation if the parties involved can actually ever achieve it. There is no doubt that something needs to be done now, not years from now. I am a LIP THa-W❑RI ❑111WHEHIES/DT MANHLHI V/DT D I TMHN I LGDT D [7\AAS_C\PtiFVVYIV[LV/ site and in doing so see its future grow with the opportunities already envisioned. These buildings are still repairable; without mounting further cost to all involved they cannot take a lengthy extended period of decline especially if little is done to keep them 3 T❑ stabilized properly while they await restoration. I believe that was also part of the 2016 agreement and as it has not been done, more damages have occurred than needed to. ❑OIz]AIR❑VCP RWJVLTTd-DGt❑❑MiTD. I think it is time to prove that motto by leading the way to protect and preserve this site. Ultimately, we will need to engage all levels of government involved along with support from the people of Clarington to see this vision come to life but there needs to be a leader in that process. We continue to believe we can feature and honour the old even when its surrounded, not imbedded, by new as we make an effort to satisfy the ultimate goals of a meaningful next life on this site. We need to keep our Heritage and History. That should be a significant source of pride in Clarington and in Canada. All the while it is possible to do so while still providing for other goals such as expanding our residential communities. We encourage you and the councilors to do whatever is necessary to keep the original parkland plan and to speed up the process. The need is urgent and all parties will benefit from moving forward on this site with a community vision that is actually based on the community interests and goals. Thanks Bernice Norton ACO Clarington President 3 T❑ PSD -041-19 June 15th Meeting of Council: Mayor Foster and Municipal Councillors, The Jury Lands Foundation has been working since 2013 alongside the Clarington ACO Branch in an effort to preserve the 2020 Lambs Road site, historically the Training School for Boys and POW Camp 30. ACO Clarington as a community-based interest group has been active for more than a decade and members are encouraged by continued public support for work on this preservation and rejuvenation goal. Over the years there have been many strides made towards the preservation of this area including its designation as a National Historic Site and more recently by designating the remaining buildings under the Heritage Act. It is also consistently sought out for education opportunities whether in the form of tours, presentations to larger groups, or as a destination for students, interest groups and history buffs. We appreciate the support over those years that the municipality has given us as we have worked to reach this goal, and now in trying to keep the buildings in as good a condition as they can be without proper stabilization efforts having been made. By following up on by- law concerns and doing regular visits to the site, we have seen some progress in maintaining them without significant further degradation but that continues to be a worry. There have also been times when we have seen the owners work toward this goal which is heartening although more could be done and certainly as the seasons come and go, new challenges arise with the passing of time and unapproved visitors on the site. We are now at a point though where the buildings must be properly preserved in order for them to become a part of the community vision that we have worked so hard to create. The passing of time increases the costs for all concerned. We feel we are at the eleventh hour as the saying goes; a critical time in moving forward for HA4 F—HEH❑H M17 A -M D-HLEHH❑LWH=7 ❑H❑[fl] H_1rfR_J IAW_I HL� FMF(-HL\R-DSf� we could count on and through which we could begin to set up solid plans and fundraising efforts. A deal that would enable us to move forward with the vision we had which through DTHA consultants work has even been taken to the public for comment and which has received significant positive feedback. As such we would support a continued effort of cooperation between staff and the owners to work toward a compromise in the near term if possible or if not perhaps a move towards some form of binding mediation. In arbitrations, we acknowledge that rarely does either party get exactly what it wants but we wonder if a process like that might move us toward a workable plan in the shortest amount of time. We feel strongly that in good faith a commitment should be made by the owners to have the buildings transferred over to the municipality for care and oversight by the Jury Lands Foundation. That way we could begin the rehabilitation and implementation of the community vision, and work on interim uses that would safeguard the site further and in the long run make the site more appealing for local buyers to live near. Commitments have been made in the past but none have been followed through on and we feel the time is now 3 to make that change. A legally binding agreement would provide the solid footing upon which we could all move forward. The ring road and areas that encompass the heritage buildings and green spaces that formed the heart of the Training School for Boys and the Prisoner of War Camp 30 can become an amazing asset for the community and serve as an example of how National Historic Sites can be rejuvenated and enjoyed by the public in a meaningful way. Please note that we have included as an appendix to this letter our submission from last September which sighted a number of our concerns. These still hold true and we hope will be considered in any move forward. We would also like to acknowledge that the owners invited our executive to attend some winter meetings to flag significant issues that remain. They are aware of our concerns that the buildings and lands have still not been transitioned, that the numbers of proposed units is now much larger than the suggestions of last fall, and that we still feel strongly that development within the ring road or Area 2 is not at all ideal as it will change the very nature of what is possible in the vision planning already done. That vision allows for flexible use of the green spaces and developments within those green spaces would not provide for their intended functions and would impact negatively the use of that central open space area. We acknowledged that more densely populated development north or south would not be of concern but that closer to the heritage structures, low density was the most viable with regards to noise, parking and use of space. We look forward to continuing to work with the municipality and the owners, if the opportunity is allowed, in finding a solution that will look to the future of this site in a positive way for the entire community. We believe the community of Clarington and the surrounding areas will benefit greatly from having this site preserved, with areas for community use and green space so that generations to come can live, learn, work and play while enjoying this parkland area with pride. There is no doubt that the unique attraction it offers will serve the municipality and its residents and guests well. Thank you for your consideration in receiving our letter. Marilyn Morawetz, Chair Jury Lands Foundation On behalf of the members of the Jury Lands Foundation. 3 Appendix to the June 12th letter from the Jury Lands Foundation: Created and presented Sept 2019 originally. Address: Chair Neal, Mayor Foster, Council Committee members, staff and members of the public; Thank you for the opportunity to speak tonight in support of Report #PSD-041-19 including Amendment 121 to the Clarington Official Plan. The JLF supports and would ask the Planning + Development Committee to approve the report and amendment as presented. In doing so, a clear plan of intent and path forward would be confirmed. Resolutions from the June 10 2019 meeting of Council approved Resolution #PD-093-19 such That staff prepare a recommendation report for tonight, and Resolution #PD-095-19 such That the municipality continue to work with the JLF on the terms set out in the existing Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) to preserve the historical significance of the Camp 30 lands and buildings. It is clear in these resolutions that the Jury Lands are of significant interest and are worthy of consideration in the p I a n n i ng of C la ri J VREI LWJHIM HIDLIHCJ LDkd ONDV)FR_LFLCLFFRJ ELHEM -I[IP SRlDEFHIR ❑ making decisions about this site that meet the needs of residents now and provides a foundation on which to develop the potential of Clarington including these lands in the years to come. : H-T D-WG W-SDLff1SD N1i-1 V6'tl- W IFVV FP H- J-EHFD-IF HVH!I- CR- F1HU D-TD-NHG I RU increased densities to be considered and we feel very strongly that this will compromise and impact the vision and future re-use of the site and funding opportunities negatively. The JLF is very concerned that the landowners continue to request more density on the site, without a firm commitment to convey the lands to the Municipality at the earliest possible opportunity. It seems to us, that the Municipality is continuing to lock in greater development rights without getting anything in return. First, the Municipality made commitments through its Official Plan update and now it is giving further development rights through OPA 121. The landowner is seeking permissions more appropriate to a regional corridor or Central Area that do not match the more limited concept of a residential neighbourhood. What assurances has the Municipality been given, if any, that we are able to finally move ahead? We understand that the landowners feel that they have been cooperative & have met their obligations to protect the buildings as they appeal for support for the increased densities recently proposed. In the 2016 agreement, one of the obligations established was to mothball the buildings to heritage standards. The 2015 Goldsmith Borgal Architectural and Engineering report not only spoke to the viability of conserving these buildings for future re- use but included a report on how to do heritage mothballing giving clear directions. That report was given to the landowners at that time. Not only did they neglect to enact the recommended procedures, until January 2018 when the buildings were finally registered under the protection of the Heritage Act giving local bylaw the ability to enforce breaches and other concerns, were any significant efforts made to comply to even the barest of standards. 3 The JLF recognizes that over the years, attempts were made to keep vandals, weather and animals out of the buildings but only after the 2016 agreement and upon pressure from the Fire Chief would cut the grass for improved sight lines providing for better site management and scrutiny by law enforcement in hopes of curbing trespassers. Even with the heritage mothballing report available to them, they chose to leave the buildings vulnerable by closing in the doors and windows repeatedly in such a way that damaged frames and casings and proved to be less than effective. Had they used the proper techniques which offer more reliable and proven ways of keeping buildings secure, and provide for that security without causing further damages, the buildings would be in better shape today. It begs the question of why they have worried that the condition of the buildings may impact their ability to market the nearby future developments when they had available to them, the techniques that might have prevented the ultimate condition they now appear to be in. We know that often weeks would pass before a reported breach of a building would be addressed and repaired. During that time clearly further damage could occur. To state they have concerns over the look of the buildings as they now exist, and then on the other hand want to develop within clear site of them long before they will be fully refurbished is contradictory at the very least. It has without doubt been a costly requirement but that coupled with other concerns voiced from time to time like liabilities and reputation, makes it even more difficult to understand the reluctance to transition the lands and buildings sooner so that the foundation and hundreds of interested volunteers and professionals could start the work of bringing the site back to an attractive and safe public space. Ultimately the buildings look the way they do under their watch. Addressing breaches should not be in response to JLF requests. Proactive maintenance and oversight would have helped everyone. In response to this reality though, the JLF has created a plan for a layered approach to the end goals documented in the community vision plan. The goals of site recovery, cleaning of the building envelopes of graffiti, working to ensure that the grounds and building footprints are safe to transition, and finally rehabilitating the buildings one at a time for interim uses while funding is developed for exterior restoration one building at a time are all attainable. As noted in 1.9 on page 176 of the agenda, part of the 2016 agreement was that the owners would sign over a building. The JLF has remained willing to take that on and we understand the municipality has given assurances to the landowners to support this but despite being discussed from time to time, this transaction has never happened. This is an action that we would welcome, and we know that we have the manpower and backing to accomplish our vision toward interim re-use within a relatively short period of time. As a case in point, the Ehrenwort trail was built through the work of business partners who willingly came forward to be involved and to contribute. It all happened very quickly once WHIM l +P H ViRUDFFH= DLALLS®FH-D❑QREFHRSHFGaBW DELFM Fm❑J HQ WHL FCD❑d-IOjG-FL M IT11111 DANGZFMMEEMH1SDDAJARWHU2N1d1 E F❑ HH❑FID❑❑ anticipated byproduct and strategy. As shown to be the case in other examples, having a building developed even for interim uses along the path, further reduces undesirable activity and degradation, and so the JLF remains ready to engage given the chance. 3 Ultimately holding on to the lands has inflated the related costs for the owners but it is the JLF who will inherit the results of those delays. Regardless we are committed to doing what is necessary. We are well aware that the costs will be enormous but the commitment of dedicated people whose energies will not be exhausted, fueled by the grass route and sincere interests of many in the community and beyond who share in the vision, will make a difference. Compared to some other initiatives this is a generic, home grown story that begs to be told and people are committed to work to protect it. It remains, as it always has been, the commitment of the JLF to fund this vision through hard work and determination seeking grants, donations and funding from sources other than tax payers dollars. This being a national and international story, allows us to go well beyond the borders of Clarington to pursue financial support. The only costs to the municipality will be those D__RFLC kMG_U LW]D❑FF1S,DL GI_HD'SP HLVL There has always been a sense that the underlying hope of the landowners was that we would lose momentum, give up and just go away. Clearly the passing years have demonstrated that we remain passionate about the importance of this site and its history, and that council believes as well in the significance of WHELBN Tr LAM I DCQ i-1MME L1 potential for Clarington residents and for tourism. This in the words of the owners WHP -HOH- L -I DHIE[TEHEIN J"nHFC-FRJ FIL+ 1F H -FDF -MW LFHP RIIHT Despite that acknowledgment, the owners presented a demolition application in Dec 2018 1 RUDDEFELL E J 77 E FJLHI HMD❑ DSD ❑J IR W-LWFDI�_HA&E(BILTIE17 RMI -I VE SHU G out the goal we had long suspected that they would prefer to be able to reduce them to rubble and fill the area with a new subdivision. Alternatively now the request is to allow for greater densities in the areas determined as available for development. One way or another with due respect for the need for any project to make sense financially for the investors, they seem intent on impacting the visionary opportunity as developed through years of hard work and research for this site. Beyond the negative impact that the delays have caused over the years, the present concerns of multi -story housing built in close proximity to the heritage buildings are real. By experience, we know there will be predictable problems associated due to noise, lights, perhaps traffic movements, parking and so forth. Council is all too familiar with the concerns of residents over event noise and activity so for the owners to propose a 6 story residential structure within reach of the cafeteria as workable, is actually puzzling. The vision work identified that that building in particular would be ideal space for events, conferences, and weddings and lends the outdoor space around it for extension activities such as festivals, wedding dances, and perhaps theatre. As well, and equally important, the JLF will be charged with and accepts the challenge of fundraising to refurbish the building exteriors. Funding models and grant opportunities through other levels of J Rd -UP HLMR___M5R11=SSR ZW J --UM H-D❑GIIJ LLLAMUHEID❑GISEEQF[SWL_DPoII_WI1Sa_I party donors, may be negatively impacted with these proposed densities. The nature of the lands, the design of the green spaces and the ultimate uses of the buildings and park areas have been outlined through the extensive work of DTAH consultants to co -exist in a way that compliments the history and each other, thus ensuring sustainable re -uses of the space. Changing the dynamics of that space as well as the appearance of the site will have predictable negative consequences. 3 The original recommendation for 650 units to be built on the adjoining lands was stretched to 700 units in an effort to be sympathetic to and cooperative with the owners in seeking a solution and agreement. The increase they now seek for higher density in close proximity to the heritage structures, with an increase of 400 more units to a total of 1100, is huge! The challenges for Council that those numbers would enact are many and perhaps is not for us in the context of the JLF to comment further on, but we cannot help but worry about the impact of allowing such an exception. That significant an increase in density we understand would exceed the Official Plan guidelines set by Council, and would certainly impact the Jury Lands vision. With respect to the Jury Lands, we have been patient through a number of challenges and setbacks. The landowners appear to be on a course to take the Municipality to the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal which would further waste time and resources which we feel would better be spent on actually doing something on the Jury Lands site. With each passing winter, we know that the conditions and related expenses we will need to address in refurbishment will only continue to escalate. If the landowners continue to oppose the OPA 121, the JLF would respectively request that OPA be referred back to staff to negotiate an agreement for the transfer of the Jury Lands park and to present such an agreement simultaneous with a final recommendation OPA 121. Again with our expressed support for the report recommendations and these considerations in mind, we ask that P&D committee accept the report and recommendations in PSD -041- 19 including OPA121. Should Council consider making any changes to the report as recommended, JLF respectfully requests to be included in any discussions. We thank you for your time and your attention. 3 [[E❑ From: Chambers, Michelle To: Chambers, Michelle Subject: FW: Townhouse Complex @ Mill & Robert in Newcastle Date: June 12, 2020 12:01:39 PM > EXTERNAL > As residents in the Town of Newcastle, we are very upset by the fact that they are going to go ahead with plans to put in a 17 unit townhouse/condo on the corner of Mill Street & Robert Street.

At that time, new information on the re -openings of outdoor patios and the licensing by AGCO (Alcohol and Gaming Commission) has just been announced (Attachment 1). Staff committed to provide a memo to Council and to work with restaurants to determine what municipal assistance is required to provide COVID related opportunities for temporary patios. Three restaurants have seasonal patios on Municipal property (within the road right of way), they are the Snug, Massey House Restaurant (new in 2020) and 36 Kitchen. We have been in contact with each of the restaurants. The Snug and Massey House will be proceeding with their patios in 2020. 36 Kitchen is opting out for 2020 and their application fee will be returned to them. Staff have been contacted by other restaurants looking to provide outdoor seating to supplement their capacity given the restrictions being placed on interior seating during COVID. In most cases this will require use of the municipal right of way, in some cases it may be on portions of the restaurants or an adjoining property. Some restaurants interested in outdoor seating do not have a liquor license (Attachment 2 is chart of requests we have received). Regardless of the relaxation of the AGCO requirements there are other requirements to be addressed such as Fire and Building Codes and Accessibility. These requirements will have to be addressed on a case by case review basis, with the various departments involved. Staff have reviewed the application form and a simplified version to address COVID related requests is Attachment 3. The funding Council has set aside in the various downtown Community Improvement Plans (CIPs) for patio development were set aside to enliven the downtowns and create permanent seasonal patios. These funds are very limited and restricted to the main streets within the downtowns. Should Council wish to provide CIP funds to restaurants to address the supplemental COVID related outdoor seating it is recommended that program become part of the municipal -wide COVID related CIP and available to restaurants beyond the downtowns. The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville ON L1 C 3A6 1905-623-3379 3 I❑ An additional resource Council could make available is outdoor seating in Municipal parking lots that would be available to any of the food establishments in the downtowns. Specifically, the outdoor furniture should be returned to the front courtyard at Municipal Administrative Centre, and picnic tables could be added to 20 King Street East Parking lot in 3-4 parking spaces, or a portion of Temperance Street could be closed on an interim basis and picnic tables added. Other options will be examined in other downtown areas. Durham Health Unit will be issuing guidelines for outdoor seating areas (temporary patios) and staff will be following these guidelines and making them available to applicants. The following recommendations were drafted with the assistance of Engineering Services, Fire, Municipal Law Enforcement, Accessibility, Building and CBOT assistance. Recommendations: That should the Municipal -wide COVID related CIP be approved a program to address outdoor seating for restaurants be include; That Staff work with restaurant owner on a case by case basis using the application in Attachment 3 to address the requirements of Fire and Building Codes and Accessibility; That the Fire and Building fees for review and inspections for the temporary patios be funded from the Municipal -wide COVID related CIP; That the permanent seasonal patios fees be covered from the Municipal -wide COVID related CIP for the 2020 season; and That Staff examine options and implement the closing of downtown streets and Municipal parking lots to provide outdoor seating in consultation with the BIAs.

Andy Allison, CAO Department Heads 3 TFI Page 2 Attachment 1 June 8, 2020 As part of its broader package of relief measures for Ontarians and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, the Government of Ontario has introduced new measures to support liquor sales licensees in temporarily extending their patios in order to safely reopen for business. The Government has amended Regulation 719 under the Liquor Licence Act (LLA) to provide flexibility for liquor sales licensees (e.g. licensed bars and restaurants) to temporarily extend their physical premises beyond 14 days provided they have municipal approval and meet the criteria below. Once they are again permitted to welcome patrons on-site and until January 1, 2021 at 3:00 a.m., liquor sales licensees who wish to temporarily extend the physical size of their existing licensed patio or to temporarily add a new licensed patio within the approved period, are authorized to do so, if the following criteria are met: 1. The physical extension of the premises is adjacent to the premises to which the licence to sell liquor applies; 2. The municipality in which the premises is situated has indicated it does not object to an extension; 3. The licensee is able to demonstrate sufficient control over the physical extension of the premises; 4. There is no condition on the liquor sales licence prohibiting a patio; and, 5. The capacity of any new patio, or extended patio space where the licensee has an existing licensed patio, does not exceed 1.11 square metres per person. To minimize administrative burden for licensees, those who meet the above criteria are not required to apply to the AGCO or pay a fee to temporarily extend their patio or add a temporary new licensed patio. Licensees are not required to submit any documentation to the AGCO to demonstrate compliance with the above criteria.

With the current Provincial Orders our noise by-law does not apply to construction work between the hours of 6 am to 10 pm but outside of those ours our by-law would apply. The contractor has provided his schedule below and based on current Provincial Orders are asking for a noise exemption from our by-law 10 pm to 6 am Monday to Saturday. The 7pm to 7am work would involve pushing the tunnelling pipe and would not involve equipment driving up and down the street. Excavation and movement of that material would be done during the day. The contractor has made this request to make up some lost time due to poor conditions earlier in the project and to have this work completed before September when school is back in. Below is a sketch of the location as well as a portion of our aerial photo showing the area. Should the Provincial Orders be lifted during the time of the work they would like the exemption extended as necessary to address the noise curfew times outlined in our by-law.

However, the effort has been adversely impacted and we are looking to add additional shifts (night) to keep the tunnel moving and complete the works as quickly as possible before the end of the summer. The addition of a second shift from 7pm to 7am nightly supports our projection of completing the work (with a second shift) before the middle of August. If we are provided a night shift opportunity, we would not require operations on Sundays. Our shift schedule would be: Monday 7am — 7pm Day Shift + 7pm — 7am Night Shift Tuesday 7am-7pm Day Shift +7pm —7am Night Shift Wednesday 7am-7pm Day Shift +7pm —7am Night Shift Thursday 7am-7pm Day Shift +7pm —7am Night Shift Friday 7am-7pm Day Shift +7pm —7am Night Shift Saturday 7am-7pm Day Shift Sunday No Site Works To best complete the remaining tunnel works, the night shift approach is the most expedient and efficient solution. On review of your note on the current Provincial Orders we would request a further exemption from 10pm thru Gam daily. Of course, given the uncertainty of the ongoing COVID pandemic, we seek to have our exemption align with the municipal by-laws should the Provincial Order be revoked prior to completion of the work.

The following is a summary when the noise curfews are in effect: 9pm to 7am Monday to Saturday 9pm Saturday to 10am Sunday 4pm Sunday to 7am Monday 3 �❑ So specify the times within the curfew times you would like exemptions from (i.e. Sunday 9am-10am and 4pm to 6pm as our workday would be from 9am to 6pm). Under current Provincial Orders your work is exempt from our noise by-law from Gam to 10pm but should the provincial orders change and the revocation of the order is changed you would need to apply for an exemption.

Peter Van Loan Direct: 416.865.3418 E-mail:PVanLoan@airdberlis.com June 12, 2020 BY EMAIL clerksAclarinuton.net Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street Bomanville, Ontario LIC 3A6 Re: Jury Lands 2020 Lambs Road - June 15, 2020 Council - Item 13 We act for Lambs Road School Property Ltd. in respect of their proposal to develop the lands at 2020 Lambs Road, known as the Jury Lands. Our clients have been working with officials at the Town since 2009 to develop a mutually agreeable approach to the development of the site. We are writing to express our concern with the sudden and abrupt action by Council to bring forward a Municipally -initiated Official Plan Amendment, without Council ever having had an opportunity to consider the owner's alternative proposals for the future of the lands. We respectfully ask that Council not proceed to make a decision on the Municipal planning report PSD -041-19, until there has been an opportunity for Council to hear and consider the owner's proposed development of the site. The Property Owners have Worked for Years in Good Faith with Town Staff and Other Interests For many years, the landowners have worked in a co-operative fashion with the Municipality, and interested stakeholders like the Jury Lands Foundation. These efforts have sought to arrive a consensus that will allow development to proceed on the lands in a fashion that achieves several key objectives: - Preservation of the Camp 30 related heritage features on site - A significant parkland component - An element of housing focused on seniors - A development proposal that meets provincial policy objectives - Approvals that can support the generous public benefits involved - A meaningful component of housing affordable to a wide range of people While the Municipality has engaged a consultant to undertake a study of the area, the product of this work did not match the owner's vision for the lands. Aird & Berlis LLP Brookfield Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 1860, Toronto, Canada M5J 2T9 , 416.863.1500 F 416.863.1515 1 airdberlis.com 3 ®❑ June 12, 2020 Page 2 The Owner's Proposal Offers Substantial Public Benefits - Council Is Being Asked to Reject this Without Any Consideration of the Proposal The owner is proposing to actually develop less than 22 acres of the site for housing. A total of almost 75 acres would be dedicated to open space, including 10 acres of parkland to house the heritage features of Camp 30. (The Planning Act sets park dedication requirements at 5%). To justify and support this generous and substantial public benefit, a reasonable level of development is necessary. Unfortunately, Council has not had an opportunity to consider or see a report and consider the owner's proposal for the site. Instead, Council is only being offered the proposed Official Plan Amendment 121 proposed by staff. This staff proposal falls far short of an approach that can support generous public benefits, and actually yields the lowest permitted densities contemplated by the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and the Durham Region Official Plan. Municipally Initiated Official Plan Amendment is Suddenly being Considered Through a Questionable Process Staff report PSD -041-19 and proposed Official Plan amendment 121 is suddenly being considered by Council at the June 15 meeting only by virtue of an unusual process that raises troubling questions. The procedural rules of Council were actually suspended at the May 25 to allow this to happen. That resolution affecting the 2020 Lambs Road property was voted on without any notice whatsoever to the property owners. They were left entirely unaware that the matter was put before Council, and they were given no opportunity to speak to their very substantial interest in the matter. May 25 Council Action Occurred Just Days after the Owner Finally Filed a Formal Application A preconsultation meeting took place between the owner and the Municipal staff on October 11, 2018 to consider the owner's proposal for the site. In the months following, many meetings and discussions took place between the Municipality and its consultants, and the owner and their consultants. On May 21, 2020 the owner formally filed an application for Official Plan Amendment, rezoning and subdivision. Only days later, Council was prompted to suddenly bring forward PSD -041-19 and draft OPA 121. The appearance is one of an effort to jam and force a decision on the Municipally initiated amendment before there has been any opportunity to report on the owner's proposal to Council. AIRD BERLIS 3 ®❑ June 12, 2020 Page 3 Council Consideration of Municipally Initiated OPA Now Would Constitute a Decision to Effectively Refuse the Owner's Proposal Without Considering It Should Council proceed to adopt draft OPA 121 at the June 15 Council meeting, it will constitute a de facto refusal of the owner's application - just days after it was formally submitted! The Municipally initiated Official Plan Amendment would set the policies for the site, including densities, and a parkland contribution well in excess of that permitted under the Planning Act, without any report in front of Council setting out details of the owner's proposal. This would effectively block any consideration of, for example, the owner's proposal for affordable homes, and housing for seniors. This represents a significant denial of due process and fairness to the owners. It is particularly the case as staff appear to be deliberately seeking to prevent Council from having an opportunity to consider the Owner's applications - and is taking abrupt actions and shortcuts to achieve that outcome. Significant Public Benefits Like Heritage Preservation will be Achieved only through Voluntary Agreement The owner has proceeded throughout with a willingness to ensure the preservation of the Camp 30 heritage features and surrounding lands through a parkland dedication double the amount that can be required under the Planning Act. That good faith intention continues even now. However, good faith is a two way street, and requires a meeting of the minds. The owner continues to be prepared to offer such a generous park contribution - but this will require a good faith process that arrives at a genuine mutual consensus on the future of the site. Staff Action to Declare Application "Not Complete" a Highly Unusual Obstruction Technique Under the Planning Act, an application cannot proceed until it is "complete". That means having all documents required by regulation in order, fees paid, and necessary studies submitted. Part of the process of preparing an application is the holding of a Preconsultation meeting where municipal staff review a proposal, and provide advice to the owner of the requirements needed, and some of the issues that are raised. Only AFTER such a meeting, are applications made, based upon the outcome of the pre -consultation. In this case, a preconsultation meeting took place on October 11, 2018. The formal applications filed on May 21, 2020, were built upon the outcomes of that discussion, and subsequent discussions with staff. AIRD BERLIS 3 ®❑ June 12, 2020 Page 4 On June 6, 2020 the owners received a letter from staff that advised the owners that the newly submitted application was incomplete. This was not because of any deficiency of "information or material" required to be submitted (the Planning Act definition of what makes an application "complete") - everything required was submitted. The municipal staff claim that the application was incomplete was based on a novel retrospective declaration that the preconsultation meeting only dealt with the rezoning and subdivision - but somehow not the Official Plan Amendment. Such a declaration is something of an absurdity. By definition, a preconsultation meeting takes place before ANY application has been submitted - it is the proposal that is discussed, not the actual applications, which are yet to come. The fact is that a preconsultation meeting on the proposal did take place, and all "information and material" needed to make the application "complete" has been submitted. The staff action in this matter raises a strong implication that efforts are being made to delay or obstruct the owner's application from being processed or considered. This is a substantial denial of due process, and constitutes unfairness towards the owner and its application. A Pattern of Actions Paints a Picture of Unfairness to the Owners and Improper Process Under the Planning Act and Law, Unsupportive of Sound Planning Decision -Making A fundamental principle of administrative law - and fairness in particular - is summed up in the Latin phrase "Audi Alteram Partem" - translated roughly as "let the other side be heard". In fact, it is even the motto of the Ontario Legislature. The Planning Act has been drafted to support such an approach to fairness in the Planning process. It is considered essential to the making of good planning decisions. But the actions that have resulted in abruptly putting the Municipally initiated Official Plan for the Jury lands in front of Council for a decision, without any report or processing of the owner's application, and without any consideration of their proposal, constitute a denial of fairness and due process. Staff Initiated OPA Is Incompatible with 2016 Agreement with Municipality The Owner entered into an agreement with the Municipality in 2016 which outlined, amongst other things, the processing of development applications, timing of turning over Parkland and Open Space, development footprints, and consideration to the Municipality for maintenance and security of the buildings. Despite suggestions made otherwise, or urging by the Municipal Solicitor to turn over land and consideration early, the Owners have been and continue to be acting in good faith and in compliance with the agreement. Rather, it is actually this Staff initiated OPA 121 that is seeking to change a number of parameters of the agreement including the amount of Parkland being dedicated and outright removing the possibility of development previously contemplated on the Retained Lands that will possibly frustrate or breach the agreement. AIRD BERLIS 3 ®❑ June 12, 2020 Page 5 Fairness Demands that Consideration of the Staff Proposal Should be Deferred In the interests of fairness, and in the interests of making the best possible decisions on the future of the Jury Lands, Council should ensure it has all the facts and alternatives before them. I respectfully submit that the most fair and appropriate decision Council could make at its June 15 meeting is to defer consideration of PSD -041-19, and Draft OPA 121, until such time as staff can process the owner's application, and present a report on their proposal to Council.

New program stipulations are outlined, which effect the application approach and project scope. In July 2018, Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) submitted an Expression of Interest with the assistance of Municipal staff to the DMAF for natural hazard mitigation and dynamic beach rehabilitation along the Port Darlington (west shore) reach of Lake Ontario. The conceptual project included the potential installation of shore protection infrastructure to mitigate shoreline erosion in the area, the implementation of a program to acquire and return approximately 54 properties within the floodplain into public ownership on a voluntary basis, rehabilitation of the natural dynamic beach, enhancement of the two adjacent coastal wetland complexes, and installation of minor public park infrastructure. As reported in CAO -006-19, the application was not invited to proceed to the full proposal stage at the time. In July 2019, the Municipality was notified of a limited full application intake opportunity. Council was informed that an application would not be submitted due to a lack of the necessary data to complete the full DMAF application within the short timeframe given D❑C HCQLI LF❑GVLV::Ro L❑J gTEQFt£HEH LSM❑ d iiDDiDFTdMMoiSL J iDP TDGmR\fiEHH❑❑ endorsed by Council.

New stipulations regarding eligible costs effect the project scope and cost estimates included in the original Expression of Interest. Costs associated with the Environmental Assessment required for the project would not be deemed eligible expenditures. This represents approximately $1 million in necessary project costs to determine feasibility and appropriateness of the conceptual project. In addition, eligible costs associated with land acquisition are limited to the land value and do not include the costs associated with any private structures (houses). The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville ON L1 C 3A6 1905-623-3379 3 T❑ 0 arin Clat!W9t0J7 Memo Based on a review of the current intake parameters and additional stipulations, which would not resolve the flood risk, both Clarington and CLOCA staff are not prepared to recommend proceeding with a full application at this time. Should Council direct, a Clarington-led application would be required to address the revised program parameters and would therefore need to be reduced in scope to include only implementation of the potential shoreline engineering work following additional Environmental Assessment study (unfunded by the federal program). The adjusted high-level cost estimate for a shoreline engineering only project, based on the values compiled for the original Expression of Interest, is $20 million. This excludes eligible planning and design costs, which would need further clarification from Infrastructure Canada if a full application is prepared. Eligible DMAF projects must have a minimum of $20 million in total eligible costs. The Federal cost sharing for municipal projects is 40%. All ineligible costs and all costs incurred prior to completion of a Contribution Agreement with the Federal Government must be paid for in full by the Municipality (and/or other funding partners). As noted in report CAO -010-19, staff have not identified a clear path towards any public monies being available to fund a shoreline erosion protection concept for the Port Darlington (west shore) reach. This continues to be the case. While the province has since released a flooding strategy for Ontario, which has reinforced the need to ensure that residential areas are not subject to unacceptable flood risks, dedicated funding for infrastructure to help municipalities build community resilience was not included. Further, report CAO -006-19 raised questions respecting the lack of a public beach amenity because of the lack of public ownership. DMAF focuses on public infrastructure; a public benefit to the community must be demonstrated. In the absence of land acquisition and taking into consideration the requirement of funding, the inability to address the flood risks present from Lake Ontario and Westside Creek through a project focused on shoreline erosion only, plus the difficulty in showing public benefit, it is the opinion of staff an application to DMAF would not be successful. The deadline for submitting a complete full application is July 17, 2020.

Discussion Items Traffic Calming deployment criteria Provided a general understanding of the factors that are assessed when implementing traffic calming measures. Things to consider include: road class (local, collector, arterial); average volume and type of traffic (commercial vehicles, busses, passenger vehicles); other types of traffic (cyclists, pedestrians, etc.) and how these may pose conflicts in our roadway; speed. Also consider type of accident history, sightlines (obstructions from overgrown vegetation, hydro pole, etc), how to make people focus on potential hazard as they are driving. Traffic calming is a growing initiative and many new products are available. When considering what product to use, staff will research and consult with other municipalities regarding their experience. Questions to consider: is it effective, is the cost justified, is there a better means to achieve our goal. Traffic calming measures are not typically deployed on local roads in Clarington as they are already designed with these measures in mind (e.g., roadway curvatures); typically focus on collector roads and arterial, particularly around schools ❑ these are also the areas where we receive the most concerns from residents. The Municipality has a dedicated funding account for these types of initiatives/purchases. Active and Sustainable School Travel update Clarington is part of a group of Municipalities in the Region that received funding for a dedicated School Travel Planning Coordinator to analyze two schools within the municipality. In the Fall, the Coordinator completed a walkability assessment for the two schools. They also conducted an in -school survey of students and parents re: how they get to school, some results include: 45-65% of students are driven to and/or from school; more students walk from school than to school; primary deterrents for Active transportation was distance and not having others to walk with. In response to these results, the School Travel Planning Coordinator suggested promoting walking groups or incentivising active travel (e.g., prize for student who walked/cycled most in a particular month). The Coordinator is compiling a list of the main issues for each school e.g., bus looping, insufficient crossings, parking, etc. A follow-up meeting is scheduled for April. The end goal is to have a report for each school re: how to increase active travel to and from school. Waterfront Trail crossing at Park Road OPG was concerned with the existing trail crossing at Park Rd. Staff looked into W -W FDM V& VO®L D SW/FiQPdC W R RSWQ/AR2 3 ❑ 1, S1MZQ II $ IMttachment 1 was the best option and should be in place by end of 2020. The road crossing is planned to be delineated with a checker crossing and solar push-button lights. Stop signs and bollards will also be installed. 2 3 1❑ Clarington Sports and Leisure Fair update Took place Sunday, March 8. Booth was manned by Jerry, Frank, Rick and Angela. Attendance was down due to other events and good weather. Also 10 fewer booths than previous year. Very pleased with booth Fflags, banner, vest, handouts. Committee members spoke with attendees and found that the main deterrent to cycling was safety, confidence in riding and not knowing the trail system. ATSR handout with links to maps and other useful info created by Bart was popular. The ATSR Committee has the opportunity to have an unmanned booth at the Bowmanville and Courtice libraries, Committee could consider having a booth during the busy cycling times of the year e.g., early May. Active Transportation Masterplan Budget reduced from $120,000 to $70,000 Council decided to split the budget request for the Active Transportation Master Plan (ATMP) as follows: $70,000 for the ATMP and $50,000 for a project. The ATMP objectives are outlined in Attachment 2, as well as the items that will no longer be included due to the reduction in budget. Staff welcome feedback from committee members regarding what they would like to see in the ATMP. Active Transportation Budget The $50,000 Council allocated to an Active Transportation project must be used on a new project 1,PQdul V -J URZ\KIHDhI3F1One option would be to build a 115m trail at the south end of the Eastvale subdivision Trail (Attachment 3). Staff welcome other ideas for use of this money. Can get approx. 150m of paved trail for $50,000. Winter trail maintenance pilot project At our last meeting, the Committee put forward a motion to plow Bowmanville Valley trail during the winter as a pilot project. Council received the motion and directed staff to report back regarding the cost to proceed with this request. Bowmanville Valley was chosen as it is one of our most highly used trails. Sidewalks and Multi -use Paths Suggested to convert part of right-of-ways to multi -use paths (MUP) e.g., on Baseline Rd. This is planned in the future as development occurs. Committee member suggested bike friendly signage on Baseline Rd from Simpson St west to the bike lane. Concession 3 will have dedicated bike lanes as development occurs. The municipality takes advantage of opportunities for MUPs as they become available. Restrictions regarding cycling on sidewalks is outlined in by- laws. Where it can be accommodated, the aim is to construct MUPs in lieu of traditional sidewalks. Open house regarding the changes to the Waterfront Trail Suggestion to have a public information session regarding active transportation. Would work well to combine this open house with the ATMP information session later in 2020. 3 3 TFI Bike Month 2020 Bike month is May 27 -June 30. Suggested the committee could organize some events including: bike to work day (May 27), bike to school week (May 27-30), and/or have volunteers lead bike groups to travel among the various Clarington Doors Open sites on June 13. Durham Regional Police have visited schools in the past regarding bike safety, ATSR could attend as well. Suggest the ATSR have a booth at the (0EUXT[V-MRIAQUE1JiYHCWOne of the mandates of the Committee is to promote active transportation, discussion regarding the activities that are within/outside the scope of this committee including the option of leading bike groups. 4.

Toyota trail is also expected to be tendered this spring with construction beginning in the summer. Farewell Creek Phase 2 may be split into additional phases (2A and 2B) due to part of the lands being classified under the Ecological Gifts program. Plan to move forward with Phase 2A in 2020. The municipality has hired Golder to conduct a slope stability analysis along the Council recommended trail route. Other Business The Clarington Cycling Club will be submitting a proposal to adopt part of Nash Rd -Iwill be responsible for cleaning -up the area twice a year.

The key objectives include: ❑ Obtain feedback from the public to identify challenges and opportunities. ❑ Identify a proposed network of connected routes that builds upon the approved network from the Official Plan and Transportation Master Plan. F-1 Identify facility types that accommodate a wide range of users of varying skill levels, abilities and age, and develop a network hierarchy to identify priority corridors within the network. F Provide design guidance to staff on the implementation of on road and trail active transportation facilities. L Develop policy, best management practices and levels of service for the delivery and maintenance of active transportation facilities (outline of users, priority of facility for winter maintenance, key network links L school routes and access to transit and employment areas) ❑ Identify a realistic implementation strategy that can be achieved in short, medium, long-term and future phases. ❑ Develop preliminary 10 -year cost estimates of the proposed active transportation network. ❑ Provide further guidance and recommendations on the role of the Active Transportation and Safe Roads Committee.

Carried Agricultural Advisory Committee of Claringto 3 �� May 14, 2020 Presentation Kathy Macpherson, Greenbelt Foundation — Municipal Capacity to Support Agriculture - Kathy Macpherson, accompanied by Anna Shortly, introduced the Committee to a new research study that the Greenbelt Foundation has initiated in collaboration with Dr. Wayne Caldwell from the University of Guelph. The study seeks to understand and document the capacity and willingness of counties and regions from across the province to support agriculture and proactively address issues facing the sector. The study stemmed from research completed in 2018 examining the value of agricultural advisory committees, their challenges and successes. This research has found that dedicated, informed and supportive Staff and Council representatives are key to the success of agriculture advisory committees in general. The next phase of study involves online surveys of municipal Planners and municipal Councillors in the Greater Golden Horseshoe and follow-up interviews with municipal Planning staff. The study will look at a range of questions, such as: x How are municipalities currently supporting agriculture (e.g grants, committees, agriculture -focused events) x Who do Council members turn to for advice on agricultural matters? x What are the major agriculture issues dealt with by municipalities? x What is the capacity of municipalities to proactively engage the sector? x What support do members of Council and Staff need to better support the agricultural sector and who is most appropriate to provide that support? The resulting report will summarize the feedback received, identify education, training and other supports needed for municipal staff and Councillors to help in understanding agriculture decision making, and best practices for municipalities in planning for agriculture. Completion is targeted for late 2020. Feedback from the Committee members included a suggestion that farmers also be surveyed to gather their opinions on gaps in municipal capacity and understanding. MPP David Piccini (Northumberland — Peterborough South) — Postponed (date to be determined). Delegations None.

The lands are bounded by Lambs Road, the CPR tracks, Soper Creek and Concession Street East. The central portion of the property has significant cultural and historic value to the residents of Clarington, the Province of Ontario and the Country of Canada. A Municipally initiated Official Plan Amendment statutory public meeting was held in September of 2018. Most people in attendance were supportive. The Municipality has been working with the owners, Lambs Road School Property Ltd. (Kaitlin Group and Fandor Homes) and Far Sight Investments Ltd. (Schickendanz) to outline the development principles. The Jury Lands Foundation are poised to assist with the re -use of the buildings and interpretation of the site. The Municipality retained DTAH to prepare a community vision as outlined in the Official Plan, Special Policy 16.7 to set out how the central portion of the campus is to become a municipal wide park. The Master Plan also sets out urban design and architectural guidelines for the development. A presentation by the consultant of the Urban Design Master Plan + Design Guidelines for Special Policy Area F was provided at the June 3, 2019 Planning and Development Committee meeting. 1. Proposal Details of Special Policy Area F Proposed Official Plan Amendment 1.1. The Municipality proposes to: L Amend Section 16.7 of the Official Plan regarding Special Policy Area F Camp 30 to make reference to and implement The Jury Lands, Bowmanville/Special Policy Area F Urban Design Master Plan + Design Guidelines; F Identify a Municipal Wide Park on the former campus lands (see Attachment 2) and designate Urban Residential lands for approximately 700 residential units; L Provide for mid -rise residential uses concentrated along Lambs Road and near the Concession Street East intersection; and F- Recognize the cultural heritage, national and local designations of the six buildings and ring road of the former campus. 1.2. Special Policy Area F is bounded by Soper Creek on the west, the CP railway tracks on the north; Lambs Road on the east and Concession Street East on the south. 3 rn Municipality of Clarington Page 3 Report PSD -041-19 1.3. The total land area with Special Policy Area F is 48.05 hectares. 1.4. Special Policy Area F is mostly located within Built Boundary. 2. Background 2.1. For a brief history of the Boys Training School, Camp 30, alternate uses and milestones since the site was vacated in 2008 see Attachment 3. The land area is made up of two parcels 42.62 ha (105 acre) parcel owned by Lambs Road School Property Ltd. and the northern 5.42 (13.4 acre) owned by Far Sight Investments Ltd. The ownership is outlined on Attachment 2. 2.2. In 2009 Lambs Road School Property Ltd. applied for an Official Plan amendment to move the Community Park from the northwest intersection of Lambs Road and Concession Street East northerly to the location of the historic buildings; they sought to redesignate the community park area as Urban Residential with a Medium Density Residential Symbol. In addition subdivision and zoning applications were submitted for the former community park location (Area 1 of Attachment 2). 2.3. In 2016, as part of Official Plan Amendment No. 107, the entire area was designated as Special Policy Area F and the community park shifted from the northwest corner of Lambs Road and Concession Street East to the northeast corner. In addition the policies of Special Policy Area F called for the development of a community vision. The land use designation for the central campus was reserved until this work was completed. 2.4. Early in 2017, the Municipality retained DTAH to develop an overall community vision for the urban design and architectural guidelines of development sites and concept plan for the former campus as municipal wide parkland including the integration and re -use of the heritage resources. Based on the work of DTAH and Goldsmith Borgal & Company Ltd. Architects the six buildings and their setting within the ring road were designated under the Ontario Heritage Act Part IV in January of 2018. 2.5. The Jury Lands, Bowmanville/Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Master Plan + Design Guidelines were prepared to: a. Provide a Master Block Plan, detail land use, recommend urban design guidelines and related policies; b. Implement the provisions of Special Policy Area F, the Local Corridor and other policies contained in the Clarington Official Plan; and c. Determine the future uses of the heritage buildings and municipal -wide park. 3 rn Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -041-19 Page 4 2.6. In December 2018, the owners applied for demolition permits for the six historical buildings. The demolition applications have not been withdrawn but the demolition permits have not been issued. 3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses 3.1. The property at 2020 Lambs Road is culturally and historically significant at a local, provincial and national level. The past uses of the site, as a Boys Training School and Prisoner of War Camp, and the Prairie style architecture of the buildings in a campus setting, are historically significant and unique. The Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada has recognized the significance of the uses and the architecture by designating the property a National Historic Site, essentially the central campus lands as shown on Attachment 2. 3.2. The surrounding uses are as follows: ❑ North CPR tracks and farmland which is outside the urban boundary. ❑ South Draft approved 541 unit residential plan of subdivision, currently subject to an application to increase to 610 units (by Far Sight Investments Ltd of 309 singles and 301 townhomes). ❑ East Future urban residential lands subject to the Soper Hills Secondary Plan. ❑ West The Soper Creek valley and residential subdivisions dating from the late ❑❑❑LV 4. Provincial Policy Provincial Policy Statement 4.1. The Provincial Policy Statement identifies settlement areas as the focus of growth. Land Use patterns shall be based on densities and a mix of land uses that efficiently use land, resources and infrastructure. 4.2. Significant built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes shall be conserved. Planning authorities can permit development and site alternation on adjacent lands to designated heritage properties where the proposed development demonstrates that the heritage attributes and designated property will be conserved. 4.3. Healthy and active communities should be promoted by planning public streets to be safe, meet the needs of pedestrians, foster social interaction and facilitate active transportation and community connectivity. Compact and diverse developments promote active modes of transportation such as walking and cycling. 4.4. The proposed Official Plan Amendment No. 121 (Attachment 1) is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. 3 rn Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -041-19 Provincial Growth Plan 2019 Page 5 4.5. The majority of the subject lands are within the defined Built Boundary. Population and employment growth will be accommodated by directing a significant portion of new growth to the built up areas through intensification and efficient use of existing services and infrastructure. The development of complete communities is encouraged by promoting a diverse mix of land uses, a mix of employment and housing types, high quality public open spaces and easy access to local stores and services. The Growth Plan establishes minimum residential targets. The future subdivision applications will have to demonstrate their consistency with the Growth Plan. 4.6. The Provincial Growth Plan, 2019 requires decisions made by Council conform to the Plan. The Growth Plan continues to reinforce and provide stronger policies to guide growth in consideration of: ❑ Making use of existing infrastructure; ❑ Addressing traffic congestion in the GTA; F Avoiding the environmental impacts of continued urban sprawl, and impact to natural resources; L Avoiding low density and automobile dependent development; F Accommodating an aging population and providing more varied housing unit types and affordability; and ❑ 6 ESSRZW 'W31.92dLF--FH P W Him& (UP DkdA ITU H -L F1--3 O❑L 4.7. The proposed Official Plan Amendment No. 121 conforms to the Growth Plan, as confirmed by the Region of Durham. 5. Official Plans Durham Region Official Plan 5.1. The Durham Region Official Plan designates the lands as Living Area. Lands designated Living Area permit the development of communities incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure to provide living accommodations and address various socio-economic factors. 5.2. Development applications in Living Areas must consider having a compact built form, including providing intensive residential and mixed uses along arterial road and transit routes. Consideration must also be given to urban design, pedestrian connections, grid pattern of roads, and the availability of services and infrastructure. 3 rn Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -041-19 Page 6 5.3. 7 KH15 HJ LR -I V2 I I FM G0+M&EOMF1D1LlDP H❑ FMtRU5 HJ IR❑DCDDW RFDC& RUIGRU/11 7 KH15 HJ LR❑V2 I I FM G013HdWHM D❑GP DSV -5 HJ LR DCCorridors, and provides policy direction to local municipalities for designating Local Corridors in local Official Plans. 5.4. Local Corridors are mixed use areas, planned to support frequent transit service. Local Corridors make connections to Regional Centres (i.e. Downtown Newcastle, Downtown Bowmanville, Bowmanville West Town Centre). Local Corridors support a long term density target of a minimum of 30 units per gross hectare, and a Floor Space Index of 2.0. 5.5. The Region encourages the conservation, protection and enhancement of built cultural heritage resources. 5.6. The proposed Official Plan Amendment No. 121 conforms with the Regional Official Plan. Clarington Official Plan 5.7. The Clarington Official Plan seeks to create walkable neighbourhoods and to provide a variety of uses within each neighbourhood that is specific to its context. New neighbourhoods are to provide for a variety of housing densities, tenure and types for all incomes, ages and lifestyles. The Jury Lands are part of the JuryVale Neighbourhood which has yet to be planned as part of the Soper Hills Secondary Plan (Figure A). 5.8. The Clarington Official Plan designates the lands as Urban Residential, Local Corridor and Environmental Protection except for the former campus area which has no designation. 5.9. The Urban Residential designation shall predominantly be used for housing purposes, providing for a variety of densities, tenure and types. Neighbourhoods are to be walkable, compact, connected and create a high quality public realm. 5.10. The lands associated with the Soper Creek valleylands and tributaries are designated Environmental Protection. The limits of the Environmental Protection will be determined through the preparation of studies that will be submitted as part of a development application. 5.11. The & OL LJ VYL 2 I I LFIM G 1G il_MRWJ DP EVES RDC1D\/LDF4 RFDC R RUJGR -0 L _HGu se buildings, apartments and townhouse units are permitted (height between two and six storeys) with a minimum net density of 40 units per net hectare along the local corridor. The mix between low-rise (between 2 and 4 storeys) and mid -rise (5 and 6 storeys) shall generally be split 80% and 20%, respectively. Corridors are approximately 100 metres deep on both sides of the road. 3 ❑❑ Municipality of Clarington Page 7 Report PSD -041-19 Special I � Polity F {fir$T. , -._R,,,ti Jy •Q C .: Gone cion-Street=East— .- a 0- Soper Hills t.Secondary .0 Plan Area _.Icing. 4 x - f V 4 Regional Q s Hlg way + Figure A: Showing Special Policy Area F, Juryvale and Soper Hills Secondary Pan Boundary 5.12.

Incorporate and be sensitive to existing local character and scale to create a compatible and attractive built form within a distinctive community image; b. Incorporate measures to protect and enhance the natural heritage system and sensitively integrate them with new development, streetscaping and architectural detail; and c. Create a public realm that accommodates a range of higher density residential uses, complemented by compatible retail, service and institutional uses. 3 rn Municipality of Clarington Page 8 Report PSD -041-19 5.13. The subject lands are within the western portion of the Juryvale Neighbourhood (Figure A). The remainder of the Juryvale Neighbourhood is the Soper Hills Secondary Plan area has yet to be completed. Approximately 700 units are recommended for the subject lands on the west side of Lambs Road, bringing the total number of units for the Juryvale Neighbourhood to approximately 2,100 units. The number of units within the Soper Hills Secondary Plan area will further refine the total units for this neighbourhood once the plan is complete. 5.14. Neighbourhoods are to be served with neighbourhood parks or parkettes. In the case of Special Policy Area F, the municipal -wide park, valleylands, and pedestrian walkways are meant to be the green infrastructure (in place of traditional parks) that will provide the recreational amenities for the area. 5.15. Structures of cultural heritage value or interest are to be conserved, protected, enhanced and incorporated into community design. Development in previously non - built up areas adjacent to cultural heritage resources are required to conserve and enhance the cultural heritage attributes by providing an appropriate transition with scale, massing and character. Urban Design Guidelines are to be prepared for the development of new neighbourhoods containing heritage resources. 5.16. The proposed Official Plan Amendment No. 121 will continue to implement the Clarington Official Plan as amended and fulfills the objectives of the Official Plan. Special Policy Area F F1 Camp 30 5.17. Special Policy Areas are identified in the Official Plan as areas where additional work and policy direction is needed to clarify the intent of the future use of the land within the identified area. The policies in the Official Plan are to be read and used in conjunction with the specific policy direction provide for each Special Policy Area. 5.18. The policies in the Official Plan for Special Policy Area F called for the development of a community vision and urban design plan for the long term use of the lands while respecting the nationally designated cultural heritage resource. The study was to set out design principles, architectural control guidelines and a Master Block Plan. In addition, it was to determine the adaptive reuse of the heritage structures and their integration with future land use while ensuring public access to the heritage resources from the surrounding residential neighbourhoods and the Soper Creek trail system. Phase 2 of the Soper Creek Trail was recently completed on the west side of Soper Creek. 5.19. The majority (88%) of the Special Policy Area is within the Built Boundary.

Although this parcel is subject to slightly higher densities, the ground related built form described, can achieve this density. 5.21. Lambs Road is a Local Corridor as outlined in Section 5.11 of this report. Local Corridors are intended to be at higher densities (minimum of 40 units/net hectare) building heights are to be between 2-6 storeys and the distribution of built form is to be 80% low rise (2-4 storeys) and 20% mid -rise (5-6 storeys). Mid -rise residential would include mixed use buildings, apartments and townhomes. 6. Public Notice and Submissions 6.1. A public information session was held at John M. James School on June 13, 2018 where the consultant, DTAH had display panels explaining the overall Urban Design Master Plan + Design Guidelines. The consultant provided a presentation on the proposed land uses, development framework and building typologies. The consultant and staff fielded questions prior to the presentation in a one-on-one setting and as a general question/answer session following the presentation. 6.2. Over 40 people attended the public information session which had been advertised in the local newspapers, on the Municipal website and through social media. The meeting was held concurrently with the Soper Creek Trail, Phase 2 meeting. Notification included all adjacent property owners on Sprucewood Crescent and Guildwood Drive. In addition, the owners of the property parcels affected by Special Policy Area F were notified. Public Comments 6.3. The display panels and presentation have been posted to the municipal website since June 14, 2018 with a request for comments by July 31, 2018. To date comments from the public received have been: ❑ Retain natural beauty and as many of the historic buildings as practical. ❑ Consider wildlife, ecology, natural spaces, protect species at risk. ❑ Include community gardens on the site to serve nearby proposed residences. ❑ Support for the demonstration garden with produce supplying local eatery. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -041-19 Page 10 L The development and building forms appear to be higher in density than adjacent lands and should be less dense and lower in height. ❑ Provide special event venue space for 100+ people. ❑ Property has been subject to severe vandalism. 6.4. A draft of the Official Plan amendment for Special Policy Area F ❑ Camp 30 was made available to the interested parties and posted to the website on August 17, 2018 for comment. Based on the comments received a revised Official Plan Amendment has been drafted and circulated to all commenting agencies, property owners and interested parties in August 2019. Land Owners Comments 6.5. The initial comments from the land owners (November 2018) included: F The limited range of land uses, density and built form types included in the vision for the Jury Lands, which amongst other matters could have a direct impact on affordability and accessibility; L There is a lack of clarity on how the integration of the vison for the Jury Lands will work with the vison for the Secondary Plan area to the east, including the creation of a hub at the Lambs Road and east -west street; L Concern about incomplete information on future process, and associated timing, to implement the vision including opportunities to participate prior to the preparation of statutory documents. 6.6. Staff, the land owners and their consultants have been meeting to work towards a consensus, adjustments have been made both to the proposed Block Master Plan and the proposed policies of the Official Plan Amendment. However, the land owners are not satisfied with the proposed Official Plan Amendment No. 121. Their key concerns (September 2019) are outlined below and addressed in Sections 9.7 to 9.10 and 11.5 to 11.7. L The OPA directs that development around the heritage buildings is not intended to be seen, however, there are many examples of how new development can be appropriately integrated with heritage resources (e.g. Brickworks). The request is for 6 storey buildings adjacent to Lambs Road in proximity to the Cafeteria, on south and north of the tributary (Areas 2 and 3 of Attachment 2). F The Clarington Official Plan provides that Priority Intensification Areas have been identified as the primary locations to accommodate growth and the greatest mix of uses, heights and densities. Priority Intensification Areas include Local Corridors. Lambs Road is identified as a Local Corridor. 3 rn Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -041-19 Page 11 ❑ Local Corridor policies indicate that the highest densities should be located along the Lambs Road frontage. Given that the width is approximate and that 100 metres along the road is part of the Natural Heritage System, there should be an opportunity to capture density in the northern area of the site. The Municipality is recommending limiting built form to a maximum of 4 -storeys north of the 250 metre radius of the intersection of Lambs Road and Concession Street. Concentration of density should be distributed along the entire corridor and 6 - storey building heights permitted. ❑ Northern development area (Area 4 of Attachment 2) the heights proposed by Clarington (1-3 storeys) are not consistent with Provincial or Regional policies. There are examples in other municipalities of higher density development being permitted in isolated pockets. This area should have specific policies that override the general policies of the Official Plan and include mid -rise residential (4-6 storeys). ❑ The request of the developers is to increase the unit target in Appendix B to 1,100 units from 700 (see below). ❑ The uniqueness of the site should be recognized. Urban Area Neigbourhoods Low Medium High Total Juryvale* 484-650 300 450 - X1100 6.7. In summary, the most significant aspects of the owners submission include: ❑ Increasing the number of housing units by 400, from 700 to 1100 units; ❑ Changing the majority of the ground related residential land use designation (Area 4) the block south of CPR to mid -rise residential; increasing the permitted height of the ground related residential in this area to 4 storeys; increasing the permitted height of the mid -rise residential to 6 storeys for Areas 2 and 3. ❑ Deleting the requirement to ensure an alternate emergency access and instead leave the decision of when an alternate access is required to the results of an engineering study. Jury Lands Foundation Comments 6.8. The Jury Lands Foundation is supportive of the Jury Lands Urban Design Master Plan + Design Guidelines report. The Jury Lands Foundation purpose is to ensure the residential development complements the heritage of the site: Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -041-19 Page 12 L this will create a destination park that citizens of not just Bowmanville but beyond could travel to and learn about the history of the site along with the unique example of the Carolinian forest; ❑ the site will be linked into the trail system; and ❑ the access as proposed means people can walk, ride bicycles or use public transit along with a car to access the park from Concession Street, Lambs Road or the trail system. 6.9. The Jury Lands Foundation believe it would be beneficial to approve the DTAH plan, Block Master Plan and design guidelines and begin development of the park area; thereby giving the Jury Lands Foundation the opportunity to begin the process of repurposing the heritage buildings. 6.10. The comments received from the public, the Jury Lands Foundation and the landowners have been considered in the preparation of the proposed Official Plan Amendment No. 121 contained in Attachment 1 of this report. A few minor changes to wording and clarifications to the Block Master Plan have been included in the final Official Plan Amendment No. 121 (as outlined in sections 11.8 and 11.10). 7. Agency Comments Regional Municipality of Durham 7.1. The Region of Durham comments are: F- The recommended Official Plan Amendment No. 121 conforms with the Region Official Plan and Growth Plan and is now exempt from Regional approval. L The location and distribution of the revised densities in Official Plan Amendment No. 121 conform with the policies of the Growth Plan and Regional Official Plan. L Decisions on massing are local decisions. ❑ 5 HJDIQ]_J IFRCIRIP LV,d_I_M-5 HJIR❑V[2 fficial Plan requires a long-term density target of 75 residential units per gross hectare for Regional Centres and 60 units for Corridors. The subject lands are not within a Centre or Corridor and do not require these densities. Lands within Local Centres and Corridors only require 30 residential units per hectare. The Growth Plan requires not less than 50 persons and jobs per hectare. The proposed cap on the maximum number of units in the proposed amendment will meet these policies. L A Functional Servicing Report will not be required for the Official Plan Amendment at this time, however; one will be required as these lands progress to the next steps of development. 3 rn Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -041-19 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority Page 13 7.2. Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) has no objections to the proposed amendments and offers strong support for the proposed community vision, Urban Design Master Plan and Design Guidelines. In particular they support the designation of a Municipal Wide Park and associated Natural Heritage System. They RI I HLF G19H RME LJ [FRP P HFW--FF7 KH1SLRSRVH3M❑GEM[(3-W ED\5dVE110 DSS ❑❑ should provide for an enhanced level of environmental protection including future restoration and enhancement opportunities for a robust permanent natural heritage V_1 AW X17 KHAVLSSRlY%H1LL1FGM.PL R V&iLSR(F=14FK_WTALR11KH IP SOP HL05UIR ❑ low impact development practices for stormwater management through the development process. CLOCA staff appreciate the progressive nature of the proposed policies and believe they will protect the natural heritage and water resource systems while allowing for development with green infrastructure measures. 7.3. CLOCA agrees with removing the outline of SWM facilities from the Block Master Plan and replacing them with symbols. If it is possible to address stormwater management completely via low impact development measures, that would be preferable. However what is actually possible will be determined through functional and detailed design of the storm water management measures. Other Agencies 7.4. Veridian and Bell had no objections and asked that when development is to proceed that the appropriate application be submitted. No other utilities have submitted comments. 8. Departmental Comments Engineering 8.1. The Engineering Services Department has no objection to the report as presented. At the detail design stage, stormwater management facility options will need to be evaluated based on in-situ conditions, design parameters and feasibility. Any proposed stormwater management facilities will not be considered as part of the parkland dedication requirements. The overall road network layout for the development is acceptable. Standard Municipal Right of Way sections will be utilized for public roads and the Engineering Department is agreeable to a modified Right of Way width (reduced to 15 metres) and cross-section for the Park Drive running adjacent to the valley lands. Parking for the development should meet standard requirements at a minimum. 8.2. If the Park Drive specified right of way width is removed as requested by the land owners it would then be subject to the general provisions of the Official Plan which is 20 metres. The storm water management facilities shown on the Block Master Plan are 3 rn Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -041-19 Page 14 conceptual and will be refined as part of the Storm Water Management Report when the subdivision applications are submitted. Policy 16.7.4 g) allows the developer to also use low impact development practices to manage storm water. Emergency and Fire Services 8.3. Emergency and Fire Services provided support for the need for two access points to isolated development parcels and large development blocks. Given the experience in servicing other neighbourhoods that have no or deficient alternate access, including the requirement to have an additional access at the 200 unit threshold is reasonable. 9.

The Urban Design Master Plan prepared by DTAH and dated April 12, 2019 contains a development framework that can accommodate a range of housing types and landscapes while preserving the central campus area of the site for parkland and public uses. The development framework outlines the Street and Pedestrian Network, Built Form, Housing Types and Stormwater Management. The residential development parcels are defined by the environmental protection lands of the Soper creek valley and tributaries. 9.2. The various conceptual layouts for the different residential areas has been translated into the Master Block Plan. The specifics of the building types and mix of units are to conform to the urban design guidelines and will respect the heights set out in the Official Plan, Table 4.3. 9.3. The street network is composed of primary streets with major intersections and secondary streets with minor intersections. Key to the development of the area will be the east/west connections spaced out along Lambs Road at: the northern boundary of the future community park on the east side of Lambs Road; ❑ centred to the campus/municipal-wide park; ❑ off -set from the rail line to accommodate the future overpass (rail crossing); and The ring road (Park Drive) and former campus road entrance from Concession Street are to be retained as a park lane with its rural cross-section to access the park. 9.4. The built form and distribution of development combined with open space encourages DF1UHW-\/SRLTA&'R❑91D-GCSHC�i�AW-1-DFFHWARAN [6 RSHU& [D❑GIP LUO/- privatization of the valleyland frontage. The approach to stormwater management is to 3 rn Municipality of Clarington Page 15 Report PSD -041-19 integrate runoff by allowing for infiltration within the soft surface areas through low impact design solutions. 9.5. The focal point of the neighbourhood is the central campus/municipal-wide park and its historic buildings. The Urban Design Master Plan outlines adaptive re -use suggestions for each of the buildings with complimentary exterior garden spaces to reinforce the re- use of the buildings. It is anticipated that the buildings will be mothballed for a period of time awaiting funding for redevelopment. 9.6. The Urban Design chapter of the Official Plan (Section 5.6.1) provides for the implementation of Urban Design policies through a number of mechanisms including urban design guidelines prepared for specific topics or sites. The Urban Design Master Plan should be approved by Council as part of Official Plan Amendment 121. Council received a presentation by the consultant at the June 3, 2019 Planning and Development Committee meeting, Report PSD -029-19. Official Plan Amendment 9.7. The purpose of the Local Corridors polices in the Official Plan is to support the Growth Plan and Regional Official Plan population and housing targets. Encouraging higher densities in key areas further support transit initiatives and build a critical mass to support the expansion of transit services. Higher densities also alleviate consumption of agricultural land, support climate change initiatives, and provide a range of housing choices. 9.8. The major issues considered are as follows: ❑ Conformity to the Growth Plan, the Regional Official Plan, and the new Clarington Official Plan. ❑ Built form, density and site layout. ❑ Traffic, access, signalization, parking and active transportation. ❑ Transitions between environmental protection lands (e.g. valleylands) and the adjacent residential neighbourhood. ❑ Urban Design elements, including private amenity spaces. ❑ Reinforcement of the heritage resources and elements as outlined in the National Historic Sites and Monuments of Canada designation. 9.9. The proposed Official Plan Amendment assigns 700 housing units to this area which would allow for a variety of housing types and built form. 3 T❑❑ Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -041-19 Page 16 9.10. The proposed residential development limits along the Soper Creek valley and tributaries have yet to be established. The issues that will have to be addressed at the time of subdivision, zoning and site plan applications include the following: L Establish the development limits through an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) considering slope stability, natural heritage and mitigating impacts; F The stormwater management system features and on-site low impact development measures that maintain the appropriate water balance; L Active transportation connections for residents along Lambs Road and Concession Street and to the Soper Creek valley trail; ❑ The signalization of Lambs Road and Concession Street intersection; and ❑ Parkland dedication requirements in light of the anticipated development on both the east and west sides of Lambs Road involving lands owned by the development partners. 10. Concurrence Not applicable. 11. Comments 11.1. At the June 3, 2019 Planning and Development Committee meeting, Committee when accepting PSD -029-19 and directing staff to prepare a recommendation report for September 30, 2019 also passed the following resolution: That the Municipality continue to work with the Jury Lands Foundation on the terms set out in the existing MOU to preserve the historical significance of the Camp 30 lands and buildings. 11.2. A❑[DSSQFDAREIE111 DP Es Road School Property Ltd. was submitted in 2009 to amend Map A3 of the Official Plan to shift the Community Park from the southwest corner of Lambs Road and Concession Street. This application pre -dated Amendment 107 which has moved the community park to the northeast corner of Lambs Road and Concession Street. This application is now redundant and at the request of the land owner could be closed. 11.3. Subdivision and zoning applications were submitted in 2009 for the most southern residential development block (6.82ha) (Area 1 on Attachment 2). Those applications were the subject of a Public Meeting in June 2010. When a revised subdivision plan is submitted another public meeting will be required given the amount of time that has elapsed. 3 rn Municipality of Clarington Page 17 Report PSD -041-19 11.4. The purpose of this report is to provide background information on the recommended Official Plan amendment to Special Policy Area F []Camp 30. It is proposed that the central campus within the ring road south of the tributary (5.96 ha) be designated green space with a municipal wide park symbol. For the area north of the tributary, the Jury Lodge location, the designation is proposed to change from urban residential to green space with a municipal wide park symbol. The undesignated lands just south of the north tributary at Lambs Road and just north of the south tributary at Lambs Road are proposed to be designated urban residential. These designations would allow for the lands surrounding the designated heritage buildings to be developed to compliment the adaptive re -uses suggested for the heritage buildings. The remaining 16.55 hectares of developable land, was designated urban residential by Amendment 107. The recommended housing units for Special Policy Area are in keeping with Official Plan policies and the background studies prepared for this area. 11.5. This request by the landowners to increase the unit count from 700 to 1100 would affect the overall number of units in the Neighbourhood planning area, as well as the Urban area of Bowmanville. The landowner is proposing a significant increase to what staff have determined would EH -E ,_DL DLL1A HS" 11111XP 7 ❑+ recommendations. Such a significant increase would have great implications when planning for service levels such as emergency services, parks and recreation and planning framework than has been established for development along local corridors and internal neighbourhoods. The urban structure is implemented through the density targets of Table 4-3 and the Appendix B and have been used to plan infrastructure and transportation (Clarington and Region's MTP). Densities are to be sensitive to local character and scale, this is why the 80/20 balance is desirable. 11.6. A local corridor is to be 80/20 (low rise/mid-rise) along its length. While there is natural heritage area adjacent to Lambs Road this does not mean that the local corridor provisions shift into the internal portion of the neighbourhood. In the development areas (Areas 2 and 3) directly influenced by the central campus and heritage buildings, while the request for additional height would conform with the local corridor policies it would not be in keeping with the principles outlined in the National Heritage Designation about view planes and set out in the Urban Design Master Plan. Nor how does it conform with the general policy for cultural heritage resources in the Regional and Municipal Official Plan. It would be out of character. 11.7. Based on the comments we received from the land owners some minor changes have been made to the Block Master Plan. Prior to issuing Official Plan Amendment 121, staff revised the open space along the railway such that an alternate lotting pattern or road network could be implemented, Policy 16.7.4 i) specifically allows this flexibility. In addition, the Block Master Plan has been amended to show the storm water management facility general locations, the size and layout will be subject to the Storm Water Management Report and detailed at the time of subdivision. The Block Master Plan also has been updated with two additional pedestrian and bicycle routes. These 3 rn Municipality of Clarington Page 18 Report PSD -041-19 have been discussed with the owners and could provide alternate access for emergency services. 11.8. The Municipality has received a number of comments regarding the Official Plan Amendment since it was made available in August 2019 and as a result staff have made a few minor changes to the wording as follows: O,NZA11,A9 1: ■��.�� !D 11'.1. t �cu]L . ��1,►� e ■ �r��] L Recommended policy 16.7.4 a) has been amended to soften the position that no lots would be permitted to back onto Park Drive to one that generally does not permit lots to back onto Park Drive; and L Recommended policy 16.7.4 c) has been amended to remove the maximum density permitted for the areas designated for ground related residential units. 11.9. These changes are considered minor in nature and given these policies are not responding to a specific development concept, these changes will allow for some leeway for the owners as the detailed concepts are developed. 11.10. To provide clarity as to where the land use minor changes were made to Figure 1, the Block Master Plan was revised as follows. L The mid -rise residential designation has been subdivided to differentiate where up to 6 storeys may be permitted and where up to 4 storeys are permitted; L The Stormwater Ponds designation has been replace by a symbol; and ❑ The addition of cycling and pedestrian linkages. ❑ Showing the environment protection designation within the municipal wide park. 11.11. The requirement for alternate access to be provided for development parcels where more than 200 housing units are planned (policy 16.7.4 j) is necessary to ensure emergency services have access. There are a number of ways this can be achieved, such as through a boulevard access or multi -use trail. The road network within development parcels must meet Policy 9.4.5 which provides for a limitation on the linking of different condominium corporations on a private road network and ensures multiple vehicle accesses from a public street. 11.12. Making a decision on Camp 30 is one of the legacy projects listed in the Strategic Plan for this term of Council. 12. Conclusion 12.1. It is recommended that Official Plan Amendment No. 121 be approved. 3 rn Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -041-19 Page 19 Staff Contact: Faye Langmaid, Acting Director of Planning Services, 905-623-3379 x 2407 or flangmaid@clarington.net.

The scope of this report are the subject lands bounded by Soper Creek to the west, Lambs Road to the East, Concession Street to the south and the CN Railway corridor to the north. These lands are identified as Special Policy Area F in the 2017 Clarington Official Plan. At the heart of this property is the National Historic Site of Camp 30, the former Boys Training School that was converted to a prisoner -of -war camp during the Second World War (referred to locally as the Jury Lands). The Urban Design Master Plan considers the subject lands in their unique urban and landscape context, at the eastern edge of the expanding community of Bowmanville. The concept plans outlined in this report take into consideration the current and future expansion of urban and ex -urban development to the east, south and north of the site, and seeks to establish a hierarchy of streets, blocks, development sites and open spaces that are consistent with the scale and nature of development within Clarington as well as anticipate future developments. The principles of walkable neighbourhoods, integrated stormwater management systems, and transit -oriented development have been embedded in the master plan thinking and is reflected in the proposed distribution of use and density on the site. The particular character of this historic collection of buildings, their siting, position, scale and materiality, influence the recommendations within this report. However design intent of the new development surrounding the existing buildings of Camp 30 is not that new buildings replicate the old, but rather that complementary design principles are employed to give the neighbourhood a distinct character that is reflective of its historical importance, as well as its unique natural heritage setting on the edge of Soper Creek. This document is to be read in conjunction with the over- arching General Architectural Design Guidelines (2011 Update), and in concert with other documents already governing the development of the site (listed in Reference Documents). When appropriate, portions of these reference documents have been excerpted into this report and noted / italicized accordingly. 3 [[E❑❑ Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 1 The Darch Farm � I I gdsP a �f,, s .ykIT, •Itlp I f _f iOw Above: Sketch of Camp Y 30 b a resident POW (from the Clarington Museum and Archives) Left: Aerial view of the site as Camp 30, 1941 3 EE❑❑ 1.2 The Project Site History of the Site The following history of the site was prepared by the Municipality of Clarington: The 40 hectare (100 acre) parcel farm at 2020 Lamb's Road adjacent to Soper Creek, was formerly the Darch Farm prior to its donation to the Ontario government in the early 1920s by J.H.H. Jury for the purpose of establishing a boys training school. The Boys Training School officially opened in August of 1925. Various buildings were constructed over the next several years by the Government of Ontario. Archival records indicate that the first dormitory was built in 1925, a gymnasium and swimming pool Gym and Swimming Pool as seen from south entry drive, 1927 Diagram of Boys Training School site configuration, c. 1939 3 EE❑❑ Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 Taken from south lookinq north east, 1927 Triple Dorm, taken from the west looking east, 1930 Cafeteria, taken from the central green, 1930 4 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines Jury Lodge, looking north through the tributary landscape, 1930 3 LID❑❑ building was built in 1927, a large triple dorm in 1928 and a hospital in 1937 In 1939 the facility was renamed to the Ontario Training School for Boys. During World War 11 the property was taken over as a German Prisoner of War camp, known as Camp 30, by the Department of National Defence. New temporary dormitories were added and the site housed up to 800 detainees who were mainly officers of the Third Reich. There was an uprising at the Camp following the Dieppe raid in 1942 when an order was issued to manacle German POWs housed in camps across Canada. Historically recorded as the "Battle of Bowmanville", the uprising lasted for three days until it ended with the assistance of the Royal Canadian Ordinance Corps from Kingston. This uprising is the View of Camp 30, 1941-42 Diagram of Camp 30 site configuration, c. 1945 3 E❑❑ Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 5 Sketch of Camp 30, 1941-42 (source: Clarington Archives) 6 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 �� Sketch of site as Camp 30, identifies existing Boys Training School, main entrance, new gate for Camp 30 off Lamb's Road, and connection to Warden's House (source: Clarington Archives) 3 �� Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 7 only known battle of its kind and has national significance. Occupation of the Training School as Camp 30 ended in April 1945. After the war, use as a Training School resumed, name changes happened and other changes related to the philosophy of dealing with young offenders eventually saw the elimination of Training Schools in Ontario. In 1979, the Pine Ridge School, as the site was known at the time, was permanently closed. The Province offered the property to the Municipality at fair market value in 1983. The Council of the day declined, citing acquisition cost, the Aerial photograph, 1988 Diagram of site configuration, c. 1988 8 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 EE❑❑ cost of maintenance, building renovation costs, other operational matters and the distance of the facility from the urbanized area of Bowmanville. Council offered a nominal amount, an offer which was declined. On October 7, 1983 the Ministry of Government Services accepted an offer from How Kheng Ang, in Trust, to purchase the school, and the facility reopened as a preparation school for Malaysian students entering Canadian universities, which functioned until April of 1986. The Members in Christ Assemblies of Ontario purchased the site in 1987 and leased a portion of the property for the St. Stephen's Catholic Secondary School which opened in September of 1988. While the property was privately owned between 1987-2008, the sports fields were used by many of the recreational leagues in Clarington. In 1999 the property was sold to the Sea Land Holdings Corporation and became known as the Great Lakes College which was home to students from Hong Kong. During the time Sea Land Holding Corporation owned the property from 1999 to 2005, they filed an application (in 2002) for an Official Plan amendment which proposed to delete the Community Park in favour of an Urban Residential designation and to change the Future Urban Residential designation to Urban Residential. A number of modifications and studies were required prior to staff accepting the Official Plan amendment application as complete. The requirements for a complete application were not submitted and the file was later closed. In May of 2005 the property was sold to Madressa Ashraful Uloom. The school functioned as an Islamic University called Darul Uloom under the ownership of Madressa Ashraful Uloom. In January of 2006 the Region of Durham received applications for consent to sever the areas north and south of the buildings thereby proposing to split the property into three relatively equal parcels. The Kaitlin Group proposed to acquire the northerly and southerly parcels for future development purposes. The northernmost portion of the site was under separate ownership by Schickedanz Developments Ltd. Planning Services Staff supported the severance application as the northerly and southerly parcels are within the boundary of the Bowmanville Urban Area and the valley lands were to be dedicated to the Municipality as part of the severances. The applications were approved on March 13th, 2006 but the conditions of approval were not fulfilled, and the approval lapsed. In February, 2007 the property was purchased by Lambs Road School Property Ltd. (Kaitlin and Fandor). Darul Uloom, the Islamic University, continued to operate until they relocated in October of 2008 due to the failure of the sewage treatment system for the site and the prohibitive cost of its replacement. Since the school closed in October 2008 there have been no resident uses of Camp 30. The buildings have fallen into disrepair, mostly due to vandalism. In December 2008, the owner Lambs Road School Property Ltd. approached the Municipality 3 EE❑❑ Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 9 to discuss demolition. A Municipal Report (PSD -016-09) placed all of the buildings on the site on the Municipal Heritage Register. On March 28, 2009 the former administration building and gymnasium/ natatorium building sustained substantial fire damage, leading to the ultimate demolition of the administration building. Many of the buildings have been vandalized which has prompted liability concerns and other safety and security issues. A further Municipal Report (PSD -099-09) removes 12 of the 18 buildings on the site from the Municipal Register, leaving the six most historically relevant buildings on the register. In July 2009 Council was provided with a petition that contained over 800 signatures and also informed them that a Clarington branch of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario (ACO) had been formed to preserve our history and to educate the public on the heritage of the area. One of the first stated priorities of this ACO branch is the preservation of Camp 30 the last remaining intact German POW camp in Canada. Applications for an Official Plan Amendment, Rezoning and Subdivision on the southern third of the property were filed with the Municipality in December 2009 and the initial public meeting was held on June 7, 2010. Approvals for development continue to be withheld pending the successful outcome of negotiations between the landowner and the Municipality of Clarington. Diagram of site configuration, c. 2017 10 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 EE❑❑ Current Conditions In October 2014 a Condition Survey and Mothballing Plan was prepared by Goldsmith Borgal & Company Ltd Architects that suggested that the existing buildings could be left unoccupied for up to ten years if properly protected from weather and vandalism, but strongly recommended that the site be occupied as soon as possible. The mothballing scope of work outlined in this report has been only partially implemented by the ownership group and therefore the decay of the buildings has advanced significantly since 2014. The current condition of the site is unoccupied and only partially mothballed pending future redevelopment and reuse. Many of the existing buildings continue to weather, sustain vandalism and the intrusion of water. The site grounds are being maintained intermittently by the land owners with some on-site security measures including cameras having assisted in discouraging the heaviest levels of vandalism from continuing. Site tours continue to be conducted by the Jury Lands Foundation and the Municipality of Clarington using primarily the western driveway and walking path along the Soper Creek ravine.

Within the designation report the following character -defining elements and statement of heritage value are specified: Character -Defining Elements Elements contributing to the heritage value of the site include: • the intactness of the landscape including surface imprints and subsurface components associated with the Bowmanville Boys Training School and with Camp 30; • the complex of six buildings laid out in a campus -style plan beside an oval-shaped ring road, the sixth and largest building being just outside the perimeter road; • the manner in which the buildings are visually and functionally interconnected by a network of paved pathways; • the Prairie -Style of the building, with masonry construction, volumes, the natural materials, their horizontality, their geometric ornamentation and their flat roofs; • the integrity of any surviving archaeological remains and features that relate to the site's use as a prisoner of war camp during the period of 1941-1945; and • the viewplanes between the buildings. Heritage Value The former Bowmanville Boys Training School / Camp 30 is of historical significance because: when it opened in the mid - 1920's, the Bowmanville Boys School was widely considered the most progressive institution of its kind in Canada. A rare example of Prairie School architecture in Canada, Bowmanville's modern architecture, campus style plan, professional staff, open, semi -domestic environment, and broad educational programme for boys aged 8-14, place it at the head of the youth reform movement, during the Second World War, the school was adapted to serve as an internment camp, known as Camp 30, for German prisoners of war captured by the Allies. Its principal buildings, used from 1941 to 1945 for internment, remain at the site, although the guard towers, fencing and temporary barracks were dismantled after the war when the camp was turned back into a school. Camp 30 was the site of a small but infamous riot popularly known as the Battle of Bowmanville. Preservation Methodologies The preservation and rehabilitation of the Jury Lands property should be in conformance with Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada. 12 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 [[E❑❑ Understanding the Heritage Designation The following diagrams attempt to capture the nature and scale of the features discussed within the federal heritage designation, in order to understand the territory explicitly referenced and therefore deserving of conservation: w/ or ..."complex of six buildings laid out in a campus -style"... ..."beside an oval-shaped ring road"... ..."visually and functionally connected by a network of paved pathways"... ..."viewplanes between the buildings"... 3 E❑❑ Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 13 Building Specific Heritage Attributes The National Heritage Designation makes note of the brick and stucco exteriors and geometric ornamentation within the interior and exterior design of the six remaining buildings on the Jury Lands property. Some of these attributes continue to be visible on the exterior of the buildings, although significantly degraded by water damage and vandalism. As part of the conservation of the Jury Lands property, the preservation and rehabilitation of the existing heritage buildings is anticipated, and as such the following principles should be followed with respect to the exterior facades: • Ornamentation on exterior is to be preserved and/or restored • Exposed masonry as an important component to the design and aesthetic of the building and is to remain exposed where and whenever possible • Graffiti removal procedures to conform to heritage restoration best practices - removal of graffiti not to degrade or conceal original material finishes. In addition to the attributes above, the following heritage attributes were defined by Goldsmith Borgal in preparation for the site's Heritage Designation Report submission: • The steel framing with masonry construction, finished on the exterior in brick and/or stucco, with shingle roofs • With the exception of the Infirmary building, the long, Detail of Gym/Pool building ornamentation, 2017 View of geometric ornamentation within Jury Lodge interior, date unknown 14 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 [[E❑❑ low massing that visually connects the buildings with the landscape site by means of flat roofs with pronounced overhangs over one -storey structures • With the exception of the Infirmary and the Gymnasium, the clerestory windows (steel framed, hopper type) set back from the outer walls of the one -storey structures with slightly hipped roof and overhanging eaves • The variety of window openings and types being primarily double -hung, paired openings on the ground floor or single openings (with the exception of the Infirmary and the Gymnasium) • With the exception of the Infirmary building, the simple, geometric terracotta ornamentation under the eaves and the geometric patterning incorporated through the use of stucco outlining cubic forms of the structures • The overall massing of the buildings with clear, simple forms and ample fenestration for natural lighting • The ambiguity of the primarylfront facade Additional Character -defining elements for the Cafeteria: • The large open concept interior flooded with natural light from the windows and the clerestory • The large window openings with metal windows for natural lighting The tall brick chimney Additional Character -defining elements for the Gymnasium/ Natatorium: • Large window openings with metal windows for natural lighting • The glass block windows • The configuration and materials of the pool Additional Character -defining elements for the Infirmary: • The two-storey form under a hipped roof with one -storey addition under a flat roof • The rectangular window openings (for double -hung windows) Additional Character -defining elements for the Triple Dormitory: • The hipped roof over the clerestory windows View of the Jury Lodge, 2017 3 IIA❑❑ Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 15 Ecological Context The ecological context of Special Policy Area F in the Official Plan is characterized primarily by its position immediately east of Soper Creek and the environmentally sensitive area. The development lands sit on a series of plateaus defined by the valley lands topography running north -south along the site's western edge, as well as tributary creeks that run toward the Soper Creek from the east, subdividing the development lands into four parts. These tributaries are characterized by their shallow slopes and the dense riparian vegetation. An Environmental Impact Assessment has been prepared for the southern portion of the site by Niblett Environmental Associates Inc. and identifies the sensitive ecologies bordering the development lands and provides recommendations for the protection of these lands during and post development. Aerial of Current Conditions (Source: Google 2017) 16 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 [[E❑❑ Development Context Special Policy Area F exists within the urban boundary of Bowmanville, and are therefore within the area where urbanization is anticipated. The growth of Bowmanville has been steady over the last number of decades due to its relative proximity to the Greater Toronto Area and the relative affordability of housing as compared to the GTA average. Transit connectivity, including the planned extension of the commuter GO -Train service east from Oshawa is anticipated to strengthen the housing market for commuters within Bowmanville. The lands immediately to the east of Lambs Road are owned by the same ownership group, and are subject to a future Secondary Plan process prior to development being undertaken upon those lands. The lands immediately south are owned by a separate ownership group and residential development of those lands is now underway. N 2km 3 I❑❑ Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 17 Clarington Official Plan, Office Consolidation 2017 The 2017 Official Plan outlines the area between Soper Creek and Lamb's Road from Concession Street to the CP Railway Tracks; an area of 47 ha (116 acres) as Special Policy Area F. Special Policy Areas are subject to comprehensive planning studies to determine future land uses which will be incorporated into the Official Plan by amendments and/or by the addition of Secondary Plans. Until such time as appropriate land use designations and planning policies are determined, the use of land within the Special Policy Areas shall be limited to existing uses. Integral to any future plan is the promotion of the adaptive reuse of the heritage structures and the integration of future land uses; and the provision and promotion of public access to the heritage resources from the surrounding neighbourhoods and the Soper Creek trail system. Open Space: Any significant open space within this Special Policy Area will be classified as a Municipal Wide Park, defined as specialized parks designed to serve the entire Municipality. They may be developed to support recreation or cultural facilities that are one of a kind and have specialized location requirements, or take advantage of specific attributes such as natural or cultural heritage features. The size and shape of Municipal Wide Parks shall depend on the attributes of the property and the specific program for the park. Map A3, Clarington Official Plan 18 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 1.3 Urban Design Principles The following guiding principles for the redevelopment and revitalization of the Jury Lands: 1. Design to acknowledge the historical value of the Jury Lands as defined by the National Heritage Designation, including landscape elements identified therein; 2. Design new developments within and surrounding the Jury Lands to reflect public value and amenity opportunity represented by the valley lands; 3. Design new developments surrounding the Jury Lands in the context of the future condition and character of the adjacent roads - Concession and Lambs Road - as well as the future development of lands to the east and south; 4. Design new developments surrounding the Jury Lands to utilize landscape as a transition between built development and its natural and heritage surroundings, including integrated stormwater management strategies; and 5. Design new developments within the Jury Lands to allow for the adaptive re -use of heritage buildings over time as partnerships and funding sources become available. 3 E❑❑ Special Policy Area F -Urban Design Guidelines 19 1.4 Existing Reference Documents Municipality of Clarington Official Plan (Adopted by Council of the Municipality of Clarington on November 1, 2016) Municipality of Clarington Zoning By-law 84-63 Municipality of Clarington Amenity Guidelines For Medium and High Density Residences Municipality of Clarington Landscape Design Guidelines For Site Planning Municipality of Clarington Lighting Guidelines Municipality of Clarington Guidelines for The Preparation of Neighbourhood Design Plans in Accordance with Section 9.5 of The Clarington Official Plan Municipality of Clarington General Architectural Design Guidelines (prepared for Municipality of Clarington by John G Williams Limited Architects) updated 2011 Municipality of Clarington Design Guidelines and Standard Drawings (prepared by Engineering Services Department) Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment (AA) of Proposed Camp 30 Subdivision Development (Prepared by Archeoworks Inc) Camp 30/ Bowmanville Boy School Condition Survey and Mothballing Plan (prepared by Goldsmith Borgal & Company Ltd Architects, October 2014) Statement of Significance and List of Character -Defining Features (prepared by Goldsmith Borgal & Company Ltd Architects, 2015) Camp 30 / Bowmanville Boy School Structural Assessment of Four Buildings (prepared by Ojdrovic Engineering Inc., January 2015) Lamb's Road School Property Ltd., Part Lot 7, Concession 2, Former Town of Bowmanville, Municipality Of Clarington, Environmental Impact Study (prepared by Niblett Environmental Associates Inc., November 2012) Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada (Second Edition, 2010) 20 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 [[E❑❑ Site Planning Strategies 2.1 Site Planning Context The developable area within the Special Policy Area is shaped by Soper Creek, its tributaries and the associated environmentally sensitive areas. East of Lambs Road, the lands slated for future development are not as confined by topography and sensitive natural heritage features but should connect to the overland drainage patterns of the lands to the west. The study area contains four areas of interest for the purposes of future residential and mixed-use development. The parcels are confined by the natural heritage boundary of Soper Creek and the Lambs Road right-of-way to the west and east respectively, and are separated by protected natural heritage features to create the developable parcels. The centre two parcels also contain the existing Jury Lands buildings and ring road which are intended to be protected and adapted for future use. As part of the Master Plan Study, work was undertaken to investigate how the development framework for the Jury Lands could influence the future development framework for the lands to the east in order that the design of both parcels might be coordinated and synergies achieved. Therefore a diagrammatic layout of that parcel was undertaken in parallel to the Development Framework, as illustrated within the diagrams on the following pages. The lands east of Lambs Road are subject to a future Secondary Plan. QArea of Interest Subject to future Secondary Plan 3 �� Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 21 2.2 Streets and Blocks Pattern Within the area of interest, public streets and development blocks subdivide the developable land as well as define areas for the open spaces. The southern area of interest is subdivided by an L-shaped public road splitting the land into two smaller development parcels. This road connects to Lambs Road approximately 1/4 of the distance between Concession Street and the railway corridor. The development lands on either side of this roadway have public street frontage as well as frontage onto the Soper Creek ravine and tributary. This road is intended to extend east of Lambs Road to access future development. The central two areas of interest are the most constrained within the property, defined by multiple tributaries as well as the heritage attributes outlined elsewhere in this report. Access to these two areas is provided from Lambs Road as well as the existing ring road proposed to be maintained as part of the plan and connected to Concession Street. The northern area of interest is separated from Lambs Road by a tributary of the Creek, and is accessed by a roadway positioned south of the railway corridor in anticipation of the construction of a future grade -separated crossing. The roadway network within this parcel provides residential frontages as well as open space at the southern tip of the parcel overlooking Soper Creek. 22 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 �� IMArea of Interest 0 open Space 0 Jury Lands Park 0 Development Block 2.3 Transportation Connectivity The hierarchy of the public street network is defined by three types: Primary and Secondary Streets and a Park Driveway. Where Primary streets intersect with other street types, the intersections are defined as either Major or Minor. Primary streets are town -wide and regional connectors, represented within the study area by Concession Street East and Lambs Road. These provide the principal access route to neighbourhoods, include bus transit routes and cycling infrastructure, and carry through -traffic to destinations within and beyond the municipality. Secondary streets are local or neighbourhood roads that serve as primary access points for developments and may include opportunities for on -street parking and access to driveways or private roadways governed by private condominium corporations. The Park Drive is the upgraded heritage ring road and its connection from Concession St. East. The Park Drive is intended for mixed cycle / vehicular traffic to be characterized by limited width and informal paving strategy to encourage slow, pedestrian -paced speeds. Limited opportunities for on -street parking are available around the ring. Major intersections are located at the junction of the Park Driveway and Concession Street East as well as intersections along Lambs Road that provide roadway connections between the east and west parcels. Major intersections will be signal controlled. Minor intersections are located where no through access exists, potentially with right -in, right -out limitations. j Primary Street Secondary Street Park Drive Major Intersection Minor Intersection , � 1 r` Su j ct t utu e r 1 I. r rl common fit. a ... 3 �� Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 23 2.4 Public Open Space I , The Public Open Space within the site is divided into six types: I'• Ll Park, Jury Lands Park, Green Infrastructure, Railway Buffer, ', ?

Development will be designed to reduce reliance on sewer infrastructure and large stormwater retention structures. Green infrastructure will also be used to demonstrate low impact development practices and will be designed to be aesthetically pleasing as well as highly functional. The development areas will take advantage of existing topography to mitigate stormwater runoff and use parks and other open spaces to infiltrate run-off to reduce peak runoff flows. 1 = Park Jury Lands Park j - Green Infrastructure Railway Buffer _ 1 Flood Zone j Natural Heritage Overland Flow _.� .3 ®❑❑ Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 25 2.6 Land Use The site will be developed to support multiple uses and densities creating a vibrant community surrounding a valuable heritage resource. Development parcels west of Lambs Road will accommodate primarily residential land uses with supporting Open Space. The majority of development blocks will be designated for Multi -Unit Residential with some Townhouse and Single -Family blocks. Open Space will be composed of small neighbourhood -scaled spaces, linked by linear networks and mid -block connections. The Jury Lands Park will support the heritage structures. Natural Heritage area constitute the remainder of the west parcels. Development parcels east of Lambs Road are subject to a future Secondary Plan process. For the purposes of this Master Plan these lands are proposed to include a Mixed Use central corridor aligned to the main entrance gateway of the Jury Lands Park. Multi -Unit residential uses will line the Primary Streets with the remaining portion of the parcel being composed of Townhouse development. The north development blocks will provide a majority of Single -Family Residential development. The southwest Open Space (designated as a Community Park) will provide community amenities for both the east and west parcels while the smaller north block and adjacent spaces will provide amenities for the immediate neighbourhood. 26 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 111][][] Single Family Townhouse 0 Multi -Unit Mixed Use Open Space Jury Lands Park I . EL:1 Natural Heritage 2.7 Built Form Within the site's development blocks, built form typologies will include Single Family, Townhouse, Back -to -Back Townhouse and Stacked Townhouse residential structures, as well as several heritage structures intended for adaptive re -use. The majority of the residential structures could be Stacked Townhouses, especially adjacent to Primary Streets. The orientation of the housing specifically addresses the ambition to maintain public access to the Soper Creek natural heritage system, with only a limited number of private single-family house lots having rear yards with direct creek or tributary frontage. Pedestrian and visual porosity in the east -west direction is prioritized within every development block in order for meaningful visual and pedestrian connections to the Soper Creek system to be maintained. Private condominium roads will stem from the Secondary Roadways within the site but purposefully not connected to the Park Drive within the southern development parcel, in order to control vehicular access to the Park Drive. Taller building types (over three storeys), if identified as being desirable, would be located along the Concession Street East and Lambs Road frontages, so as to take best advantage of the vehicular, transit and pedestrian connectivity those locations provide, and to reinforce the importance of those primary street frontages for higher -order development.

Characterized by rich built heritage and natural heritage resources, the site offers a unique opportunity to develop a lively and dynamic residential district that acknowledges the surrounding rich cultural and landscape resources and extends and supports those resources in the layout, built form, and provision for open space within each development parcel. As discussed elsewhere in this document, the framework for the development sets the stage for private residential developments that respect nature, support adaptive reuse, and connect residents meaningfully to one another and to the larger natural heritage system of Soper Creek that defines this part of Bowmanville. One fundamental characteristic of new development on the site is the comprehensive integration of low -impact development methodologies including day lit stormwater management devices into the landscape character of the neighbourhood. Another fundamental characteristic of the new development is its relationship to the Soper Creek frontage - making this frontage as public and accessible as possible, and not fencing it off or otherwise privatizing access, unlike the existing development on the west side of Soper Creek.

E The overall neighbourhood character of the new residential area is intended to be distinct from the surrounding ex -urban development. Specifically the design of the neighbourhood is to be informed by the Urban Design Principles set out in this document, including specific deference to the following points: • New development in and around the Designated Heritage Structures to be designed in such a way as to acknowledge the historical value of the Jury Lands as defined by National Heritage Designation, including landscape elements identified therein; • New development should not turn its back on or privatize the valley lands; • New development to be designed to reflect the future condition and character of the adjacent roads - Concession and Lambs Road - including address and frontages onto these streets that reflect their important role within the urban fabric; • New development to utilize landscape as a transition between built development and its natural and heritage surroundings, including integrated stormwater management strategies; and • New development should not preclude or limit the reuse of heritage buildings over time as partnerships and funding sources become available. View of integrated stormwater management with new development View of Soper Creek landscape looking east Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 31 3.2 Street Character and Interface General Guiding Principles The quality of a resident's and visitor's experience to the Special Policy Area is dependent upon the successful design of the individual building frontages and their interface with the streets of the neighbourhood. Careful consideration needs to be given to the public realm design and the character of the immediate context, both existing and proposed. Each type of street in the development has a unique character that defines the scale, pace of movement and qualities of the street. Pavement widths of local streets are to be minimized in order to encourage a slow pace of movement and maximize available width for landscaped boulevards, pedestrian sidewalks and walkways and stormwater management features. Landscape materials (hard & soft) and exterior lighting (free standing and building mounted) shall be selected for their quality, durability and visual compatibility with the public realm. Vehicular access should be appropriately integrated into the design of the individual building massings and public realm, in such a way that it supports the design concept and does not overwhelm or detract from the design of the building elevation and the overall character of the street. Vehicular entrances for parking, servicing and loading access shall be minimized. Primary Street: Concession Street East Concession Street East is an important east -west corridor connecting downtown Bowmanville to municipalities to the east, and provides the site with transit and bicycle connections into the downtown. For the purposes of this report, upgrades to the Concession Street right-of-way adjacent to the subject site are assumed to include sidewalks on either side of the traffic lanes separated by a treed boulevard, and on -street bike lanes in either direction that will ultimately connect to the Soper Creek trail system and future improvements to Lambs Road / expansion of the bicycle network eastward. The dimension of the bicycle lanes assumed is consistent with the existing Concession Street East cross- section west of the subject site, allowing for the expansion of peak period traffic lanes assuming a sharrow condition. New housing development fronting onto Concession Street East is provided with a significant stormwater management / landscape buffer that also includes pedestrian walkway access. It is assumed that the ground level of the development along this frontage will be elevated relative to the existing grading of Concession Street and therefore visual privacy from the roadway is achieved without significant fences or opaque constructed retaining elements. 32 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 E❑❑ Stacked 5.Om I 2.Om 5.3m 3.5m 3.5m 3.5m 3.5m 5.3m 2.Om Townhouses SWM I Sidewalk Boulevard Travel + Sharrow Travel Travel Travel + Sharrow Boulevard Sidewalk 7.5m Primary Street: Concession Street East 28.Om Concession Street (existing condition looking west) Precedent: walkway separated by treed boulevard Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 33 Primary Street: Lambs Road Lambs Road is an important north -south corridor connecting Lake Ontario and Hwy 401 with Bownmanville and lands to the north, and is slated for upgrades coincident with the build -out of the site and properties to the east. Its current cross-section will transform from a rural two-lane roadway into a 36.0 metres right- of-way incorporating two lanes of traffic in either direction plus cycling and pedestrian infrastructure appropriate for the volume of residents anticipated to live within the precinct. For the purposes of this report, the upgraded cross-section has been illustrated to include a central planted median that can accommodate turning lanes as appropriate, as well as linear landscape strips on either side separating the roadway and raised cycle track from the pedestrian sidewalk. The sidewalks are located at the property lines to encourage their installation early in the roadway reconstruction process, and the landscapes flanking the sidewalk will be graded to accommodate stormwater collection and infiltration. Development fronting onto Lambs Road is anticipated to include new residential townhouse developments provided with a sideyard setback from the right-of-way, that includes stormwater management and landscape screening in the form of hedgerows or dense tree plantings. Visual screening in the form of opaque fences is not desirable along the Lambs Road frontage. Where Lambs Road opens onto the Jury Lands Park and the heritage buildings, increased visual access is desirable. The design of plantings beyond the right-of-way should prioritize views to the existing buildings and beyond to Soper Creek. Any new parking lots situated fronting onto Lambs Road are to be provided with appropriate landscape screening integrated with the stormwater management setback of the roadway. 34 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 E❑❑ 2.0m 1.8m 3.5m 3.5m 4.Om 3.5m 3.5m 1.8m 2.0m Sidewalk Cycle Travel Travel Median /Turn Lane Travel Travel Cycle Sidewalk I � 5.Om 36.Om SWM ROW I I Primary Street: Lambs Road Lambs Road (existing condition looking north) Precedent: raised cycle track 3 ®❑❑ Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 35 Secondary Street: Public The secondary street network within the development accommodates access by residents as well as the general public into the development from Concession Street and Lambs Road. These roadways have flanking residential developments including single-family houses as well as townhouses, and terminate at the primary streets in the form of major, signalized intersections. The proposed cross-section of this roadway typology acknowledges the difference between a townhouse frontage and a single-family frontage, principally through the position of the public sidewalk. When flanking single-family house lots, the sidewalk is positioned against the property line to encourage neighbourly interaction. When flanking townhouse development the sidewalk is located to back of curb in order to provide for landscape screening between the roadway and the more dense form of multi -family housing. The roadway itself is proposed to be two lanes with parking available along one side of the street, with a total right-of-way dimension of 20 metres, consistent with other public streets within residential neigbhourhoods in Bowmanville. In order to reduce the presence of parked cars within the development, setbacks from the property line have been articulated to include a portion of the built form 3.0 metres from the property line (proposed to include the primary entrances to the dwellings) and other portions (proposed to be the garage) setback 6.0 metres from the property line. This variegated setback allows for cars parked within the private driveways to be partially screened, and garage doors to be recessed within the volume of the buildings. 36 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 �� 3 Storey I 4.25. 1.5m 3.Om 3.Om 2.5m 4.25m 1.5m !

A combination of front yard and side yard townhouse frontages flank these streets, and as such their ownership and maintenance is assumed to be within the control of the applicable condominium corporation. Furthermore a series of different frontage conditions require distinct cross-sections as outlined below. Example 1: The first variant of the private street typology applies where the roadway is flanked by a townhouse front yard on one side and a side yard on the other. The design of the street accommodates two-way traffic lanes with vehicular parking on the side facing the townhouse side yard and a pedestrian walkway on the side facing the townhouse front yards. The location of the parking and sidewalks will be determined by the adjacent frontage configuration. The provision for tree planting between the parking pads breaks up the vehicular presence within the street and provides for shading and integrated stormwater management opportunities. A further vegetated side yard setback is illustrated to increase the screening of the side yard condition from the street. The built form flanking these streets is to be configured to provide a strong street wall presence, with residential entrances prominent and vehicular storage set back and screened. Example 2: The second variant applies to the condition where stacked townhouse blocks face one another across an elevated, landscaped greenway. In this condition vehicular access is provided at the rear of each townhouse block, allowing the greenway to be exclusively pedestrian. The intention of this central walkway is to allow residential entrances to face one another across from a landscaped Swale, collecting and filtering stormwater and providing open space amenity shared by both rows of townhouses. Residential entrances are presumed to be raised (based on the stacked townhouse example provided by Kaitlin), providing visual privacy from the shared open space. Example 3: The third variant of the private street typology addresses the condition of facing stacked townhouse rows where vehicular access is provided. As per example one above, two lanes of vehicular traffic are provided in order to access the residential garages of the development. Driveways are provided to each garage with planting beds installed in between in order to provide visual screening and stormwater management capacity. Pedestrian access to the residential units is presumed to take place through the garages. 38 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 �� 3.5 Storey 2.5m 3.Om 3.Om 1.5m 6.5m 3 Storey Stacked Townhouses Parking Lane Lane Sidewalk Parking Townhouses Private Street: Condo Road Example 1 Precedent: townhouse entrances with garages screened and setback from entries Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 39 I I 3.5 Storey I 3.5 Storey Stacked Townhouses Pathway SWM Pathway Stacked Townhouses Example 2 - Private Outdoor Space L :' A L 1.1 IK— it -J Precedent: typical stacked townhouse unit section, Kaitlin 40 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 u 1 Is Precedent: townhouse units facing a vegetated greenway, Dockside Green, Victoria ❑❑ 6.1m 3.15. 3.15. 6.1m Parking Lane Lane Parking I Example 3: Private Lane Precedent: townhouse garages interspersed with planting, Guelph Precedent: townhouse garages integrated with facade design Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 41 Additional general principles applying to rights-of-way with residential frontages include the following: • Facades shall be animated with variety of architectural elements such as bay windows, balconies, porches, and articulated to respond to human scale at street level. • The setback zone shall provide a transition between the public realm and the private residential units to encourage resident outdoor activity, while providing a sufficient level of privacy. • Multiple entrances shall be provided along the residential frontages to ensure a level of resident and public presence encouraging street animation. • Building facades shall feature prominent windows and be sufficiently open at street level to encourage "eyes on the street". Park Drive The Park Drive right-of-way typology is a unique street within the development, and its design intent stems from the original experience of entering the site as illustrated photographically in archival images shown opposite. The Park Drive begins at Concession Road and runs north along the path of the original entry drive of the Boys Training School. The southern -most portion of this drive hugs the edge of the existing plateau and provides views across the Soper Valley. The proposed cross-section of this portion of right-of- way is a 6.Om curbless pavement accommodating two-way mixed cycle and vehicular traffic, flanked on either side by a row of bollards. On the valley side is proposed an additional permeable shoulder designed for pedestrian use. On the development side is provided a significant landscape buffer accommodating stormwater management infrastructure. The form of development flanking this portion of the Park Drive are townhouses set perpendicular to the path of the right-of-way, allowing for significant view and circulation porosity between the development and the Soper Valley. At the southern end of the Park Drive is assumed to be a gated access point onto Concession Road, so that it can be closed to vehicular traffic when required. No residential traffic is dependent on the Park Drive for access, allowing it to operate similar to a typical provincial park access driveway. 42 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 EE❑❑ As it moves north and emerges into the centre of the site, the Park Drive cross-section changes to accommodate a modest volume of on -street parking defined by curbs adjacent to the adaptively reused heritage buildings within the Jury Lands Park. Two lanes of traffic continue to be provided in addition to one- sided parking, with the language of bollards distinguishing the drive aisles from the park space continuing throughout the length of this roadway typology. Where the Park Drive crosses over an existing creek tributary the surface treatment of the roadway itself is proposed to change to reflect the passage of water below - precast planks or patterned concrete being an appropriate expression of bridging over a watercourse. Where the Park Drive passes beside new surface parking facilities a significant landscape buffer is proposed to screen the new parking from the roadway itself.

Parks Canada's Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada states that "the addition [of new development] should be physically and visually compatible with, subordinate to and distinguishable from the historic place, so that a false historical appearance is not created". This indicates that the architectural style should be contemporary in design and not attempt to replicate existing buildings, but must also be respectful to the site's heritage. In recognizing the key features of the existing buildings, these same qualities can be incorporated into new development so that the character of the place is conserved and extended throughout the entire site. Within the Designation of National Heritage Significance, the existing buildings are noted for "their Prairie -Style architecture with masonry construction, brick and stucco exteriors and asbestos -shingle roofs, the modern sensibility of the buildings expressed through open plans, the fragmented volumes, the natural materials, their horizontality, their geometric ornamentation and their flat roofs...". Prairie -Style architecture is defined by the prevalence of horizontal lines, flat or hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves, windows grouped in horizontal bands, the architecture's integration with the surrounding landscape, its solid construction, demonstration of craftsmanship, and discipline in the use of ornamentation. With respect to the architectural style for new development within the subject site, the same qualities as outlined above are appropriate and desirable, specifically the following: • The architectural expression of the buildings be contemporary. • Building massing to give preference to the horizontal. • Building roof lines to be generally flat or hipped in shape with broad overhanging eaves. • Natural, robust and durable materials are to be utilized for exterior cladding and landscape elements. • The scale, articulation, rhythm, proportion, pattern, colour, texture and materials of buildings shall be complimentary to adjoining buildings, existing and new. • Ornamentation is to be kept to a minimum and, when utilized, should be geometric in nature and/or based on the demonstration of the qualities of the materials utilized. • The integration of the site's surrounding landscape with the architecture including the provision of pathways, patios, and other entry features and outdoor amenities appropriate for the building's siting and frontage. • A cohesive overall effect shall be provided, but no two buildings shall appear identical. Repeated buildings are not permitted unless they are part of a row whose design relies on repetition to create a cohesive streetscape. 46 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 1E❑❑ Precedent: low -slung hipped roof and horizontal banding of windows Precedent: flat roof with horizontal window banding and recessed garage Precedent: masonry bay townhouse row with horizontal brick banding Precedent: expressed roof structure and robust materiality Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 47 3.4 Building Component Design Entrances, Porches and Patios A key characteristic of new development is the architecture's integration with landscape. • Within the residential development blocks, the individual and grouped entrances are to be expressed through gracious and generous entrance pathways and entry features, including terraced patios where the ground floor elevation is either above or below the surrounding grade. • Landscaping is to be considered both for its ornamental and screening capacity, and characteristics of the front yard landscape should wrap around the side and rear yards of buildings where possible to allow for a cohesive reading on all four sides of a building. • The placement of plantings against the facade of buildings is to be purposeful, and designed to feature ornamental plantings through the use of planters, urns, and discrete lighting where appropriate. • Entrance features are to be designed to assist in screening private vehicle parking on the property, so that views onto parked cars are minimized from the public realm.

The development framework anticipates these existing buildings be adaptively re -used to accommodate a range of uses that would contribute positively to the surrounding residential community and to Bowmanville more broadly. The existing building attributes are well documented in the Background Documents identified within this report. Based on this documentation, and relating to the vision for Jury Lands Park that surrounds these buildings, the following pages explore potential programming that could be accommodated within each building that would be compatible with the existing structure and its position on the site. The existing buildings considered for their adaptive re -use potential as part of this study include the following: 1. Natatorium / Gymnasium 2. Triple Dormitory 3. Kiwanis House 4. Jury Lodge 5. Infirmary 6. Cafeteria 62 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 E❑❑ Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 63 Natatorium / Gymnasium (1929) 6,681 SF 11 -storey with partial basement The Natatorium / Gymnasium building is situated on a prominent location relative to the Park Drive and Soper Valley, and is therefore a good candidate for re -use with programming that relates to the surrounding park and larger trail and parks system. The building's configuration includes two double -height spaces originally used as a pool and gym, with a smaller central supporting spine in between these volumes. Access to natural light and views of the surrounding landscape are good, and the building benefits from direct access to one of the proposed public parking lots on the site. area of basement Photo of building from the west Photo of existing gymnasium 64 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 E❑❑ Possible Adaptive Re -use: Active Recreation There are numerous precedents for old buildings being reused for fitness gyms supporting active recreation, health and wellness within a community. Aligned with its original purpose and use, the Natatorium/Gymnasium building would be well suited to accommodate active recreation uses as part of the larger Soper Creek recreation system. The two-storey volume of gym could be reused as a gym, or as a fitness centre space for cardio machines, weights, or some combination therein. The pool volume could be renovated with a flat floor for additional gym area, or designed more as a multi-purpose space for yoga and accommodating a range of assembly activities. The spaces in between could be used for entry, support, storage and change rooms appropriate for the flanking uses. Private Fitness Club, Old Montreal Totum Fitness, Toronto Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 65 Triple Dormitory (1928) 14,470 SF 11 -storey with partial basement The Triple Dormitory is located on a prominent raised plateau just outside of the existing ring road, and is designed to take advantage of the expansive west -facing views its siting allows. Configured as a series of small dormitories surrounding a larger, double -height, naturally lit volume, the building is the largest on the property and, due to its construction, highly adaptable to a range of new uses. Historical photograph of Triple Dorm as seen from the southwest 66 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 E❑❑ Possible Adaptive Re -use: Office / Incubator The concept of re -use as an office or incubator space acknowledges the trend toward on -demand hotelling or hot- desking within the office market, and the desire for large, open plan areas for collaborative work as demonstrated by other facilities opened in the surrounding region. The central double -height daylit volume could be used for workshops or communal work spaces supported by the cellular rooms around the perimeter of the building that could be renovated as more private office areas. The existing basement could be used for storage to support uses within the building. i7i - 71-,(_1 h'Yi�4L�l��; Precedent: The Tannery Incubator, Waterloo 3 E❑❑ Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 67 Kiwanis House (1927) 6,148 SF 11 -storey with partial basement The Kiwanis House and Jury Lodge are both configured in a similar way, with single -storey cellular spaces surrounding a taller, double -height volume accommodating larger gathering spaces within the plan. Both of these buildings are highly adaptable to uses that require both small-scale private rooms well as larger, more grand rooms in both scale and volume.

The smaller spaces around the perimeter of the building could be converted into children's playrooms, classrooms or reading rooms surrounding the larger central gathering space which could be used as a communal area or for gross motor play in inclement weather. The basement could be used for storage to support uses within the building. Age-appropriate outdoor play areas could be established around the perimeter of the building and accessed directly from each playroom. .® Precedent: Dane Avenue Child Care, City of Toronto 3 E❑❑ Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 69 Jury Lodge (1927) 5,251 SF 11 -storey with partial basement The Jury Lodge, as noted previously, shares many qualities with the Kiwanis House in terms of its relative size and configuration, however the Jury Lodge is located in a slightly more remote location relative to the Jury Lands Park and the public open spaces therein, and therefore might be considered for re -use by tenants requiring slightly more privacy and/or have less of a demand for highly visible street frontage. .n rn IT ITT 1 1 1 1 1 r' • s r area of basement area of double -height 70 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 EE❑D Possible Adaptive Re -use: Single Tenancy Given the location and scale of the Jury Lodge, it could be an ideal office use building for an organization, or a more residential use similar to a supportive living centre, hospice etc. as it combines small-scale rooms that could be converted to offices or bedrooms with a larger gathering space in the centre, and benefits from a siting more removed from the public and views more directly onto the Soper Creek. The central double -height daylit volume could be used for gatherings supported by the cellular rooms around the perimeter of the building. The basement could be used for storage to support uses within the building. Precedent: UArche Daybreak, The Big House, Richmond Hill 3 1HEE Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 71 Infirmary (1927) 3,825 SF 12 -storey with full basement The Infirmary is a building situated prominently near the Lambs Road entrance to the site, and is the only hipped roof structure within the collection of heritage buildings. Its ground floor overlooks the centre of the site, and connects meaningfully to the terraced landscape beyond. Originally used as a medical facility, its room configuration is more traditional in nature than the other buildings on site, and is therefore well suited to a variety of uses that might require multiple floors and smaller, more intimate rooms and spaces. 72 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 [[E❑❑ Possible Adaptive Re -use: Boutique Hotel / B+B The scale and nature of the Infirmary's interior configuration would suggest it could be converted into a boutique hotel with a restaurant on the ground floor that could also support food services needs of the other buildings on the Jury Lands site. The existing floor plans are cellular in nature and lend themselves to smaller hospitality rooms or could be combined to up to 4 larger suites per floor (400-500 SF each) if desirable. The ground floor could be converted into a reception and restaurant space with high public visibility, given its location adjacent to main entrance from Lambs Road. The adjacent gardens could be themed to support the restaurant kitchen and/or events hosted within the building.

It is one of the most compelling buildings on site due to its size, multiple roof lines and generous window openings onto the surrounding landscape. Its interior architecture is also unique, and inspiring to visit and imagine restored. It is a naturally compelling building, drawing great interest from all those who visit the site. – area of basement area of double -height 74 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 —F -F] Possible Adaptive Re -use: Event Venue The scale and nature of the Cafeteria's interior configuration would suggest it could be converted into an event venue accommodating between 200-300 persons for events. The two-storey volume at centre would be great for public or private gatherings, recreational activities, gallery space, large lectures or workshops, performances, etc. The smaller, more cellular spaces surrounding used for entry, support, and perhaps a catering kitchen supported by a more robust kitchen within the restaurant proposed to be accommodated within the renovated Infirmary next door. The basement could be used for storage. The building's proximity to Lambs Road as well as the new surface parking facilities further support the idea of the building as accommodating large gatherings. — �A Precedent: Artscape Wychwood Barns in Event Mode Existing central daylit volume within the Cafeteria 3 [[E❑❑ Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 75 Jury Lands Park 5.1 Preliminary Park Concept The intention behind the Jury Lands Park design concept is to provide a framework for community gathering and recreation that reflects the location of the park within the Soper Creek trail system, the rich history of outdoor activities programmed on the site, and ties meaningfully to the future uses proposed for the heritage buildings. Furthermore, as the primary outdoor amenity for residents and visitors, the Park stands as the heart and public "common" of the surrounding neighbourhood, and reinforces the community's unique identity. Fundamental to the Park's overall structure is the retention of the original oval drive, pathway and view plane structure of the site. Uses within the Park are organized within the spoked array of paths, with larger gathering and recreational spaces in the centre and smaller, more intimate outdoor activities accommodated between buildings. Views to and from Soper Creek are reinforced whenever possible, as are trail connections. Existing watercourses across the site, marked by more distinct areas of plantings and tree canopy, are maintained in order to allow for ecological systems to thrive and stormwater to be managed in an effective manner. 76 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 [[E❑❑ The proposed components of the Jury Lands Park include the following: A. Active Landscape B. The Lawn C. Children's Garden D. Water Garden E. Food Garden F. Event Terrace G. Look Out 3 �� Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 77 Active Landscape The landscape surrounding the existing Natatorium/Gymnasium are proposed to support sporting and health and wellness activities year round, including skating, active play, formal and informal games, and even outdoor exercise equipment as an extension of the proposed recreational activities accommodated within the building. Each of these activities would be integrated into the surrounding landscape and designed as features within an intact and coherent landscape. Flexibility and adaptability are important characteristics of each component within the Active Landscape, so that seasonal use and all -ages use are supported. The Active Landscape south of the Natatorium/Gymnasium may also be a good location for the planting of maple saplings, as a way of reinforcing the Park Drive as it moves from Concession Street East and emerges into the Jury Lands Park. Precedent: outdoor fitness equipment adapted for a park context Precedent: skating loop at Colonel Samuel Smith Park, Toronto 78 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 [[E❑❑ The Lawn At the heart of the Jury Lands Park is proposed a central lawn that provides for flexible use including additional active and passive recreation activities. This lawn reinstates the sports fields and active green evident in photographs from the Boys Training School, and would accommodate a range of sports and cultural activities throughout the year. The natural terracing of landscape around the perimeter of the lawn, evidenced by the steps still in existence adjacent to the Cafeteria, Infirmary and Kiwanis House, could be restored and/or expanded upon to create a line of tiered and planted seating. Precedent: The Green in New York's Central Park Precedent: tiered amphitheater seating integrated into the landscape 3 11E❑n Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 79 Children's Garden As the Kiwanis House is proposed to be adaptively re -used as a children's facility / child care, nature -based outdoor play areas could be established around the perimeter of the building and accessed directly from each playroom. Some areas would be fenced and used exclusively by the child care, and others would be open to the public. Designed as a continuous play landscape, the Children's Garden would offer residents and visitors an unique opportunity to engage with the site, learn about its history and its ecological richness. Furthermore the location of the Children's Garden is adjacent to the Active Landscape, allowing for all age groups to engage with the landscape in close proximity to one another. Precedent: nature -based play elements including furniture Precedent: nature -based play, Los Angeles 80 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 E❑❑ Water Garden Located in line with the natural drainage topography of the site, and directly visible from the Park's entrance from Lambs Road, the Water Garden would demonstrate stormwater management best practices, integrating water into a meditative garden landscape. Situated between the Kiwanis House and Infirmary, the Water Garden would also support the flanking uses within these two buildings, and provide an interpretive opportunity with respect to the larger Soper Creek drainage system that crosses the site. Precedent: native plantings within Swale, Rain Gardens United Precedent: stormwater pond and plantings, Toronto 3 E❑❑ Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 81 Food Garden Food brings communities together. The proposed Food Garden within the Jury Lands Park is conceived as both a teaching and commercially -relevant opportunity to reintegrate small-scale agriculture to the former Darch Farm. Positioned adjacent to the proposed Infirmary Hotel/Restaurant use, the Food Garden could provide agricultural demonstrations tied to a seasonal menu at the restaurant. Further agricultural opportunities on the site exist including allotment gardens, which could be integrated with the Food Garden or positioned adjacent. Precedent: kitchen garden used by chefs to enrich their menu Precedent: food garden laid out in a traditional English style 82 Special Policy Area F - Urban Design Guidelines 3 E❑❑ Event Terrace The Event Terrace is conceived of as an extension of the event venue use within the Cafeteria, and is positioned so as to take advantage of the southern and westward views the tiered landscape of the Jury Lands provides. The Terrace would include a hardscaped zone for outdoor events including adequate power, AV and lighting to support event use throughout the year. Consideration of shade provisions for summer months is also important, achieved through canopies or deciduous tree planting.

Understanding this, there is value in considering how the portion of the site identified in the 2016 legal agreement (the central portion) could be revitalized in a modest way in order to catalyze interest and investment in the site. Investment in the public realm along with modest interior renovation can translate into significant interest and energy. The following are suggested priorities for Phase 1 of the site's revitalization: Landscape Amenities • Walking Paths through Heritage Landscape • Access to Soper Creek Trail System • Public Parking close to Trail Head • Informational and Interpretive Signage throughout Site • Special Landscape Feature / Use Supporting Indoor Amenities • Use to Animate the site 7-days/week to improve site security • Space for Gatherings / Events - steady source of income • Public Washrooms to support surrounding active recreation • Example: Powerhouse Rec.

H. H. Jury for the purpose of establishing a boys training school. The northern 5.42 (13.4 acre) parcel is the southern portion of the farm at 2640 Lambs Road and not part of the Boys Training School or Camp 30. 1.2 The Boys Training School officially opened in August of 1925. Various buildings were constructed over the next several years, by the Government of Ontario. Archival records indicate that the cafeteria and first dormitory were built in 1925, a gymnasium and swimming pool in 1927, a large triple dorm in 1928 and a hospital in 1937. 1.3 During World War II the property was appropriated by the Department of National Defence and used as a German Prisoner of War camp, known as Camp 30. The Camp housed up to 800 detainees, many of which were German officers. There was an uprising at Camp 30 following the Dieppe raid in 1942 when an order was issued to shackle German POWs housed in camps across Canada. Historically recorded as the "Battle of Bowmanville", the uprising lasted for three days until it ended with the assistance of the Royal Canadian Ordinance Corps from Kingston. This uprising is the only known battle of its kind on Canadian soil and has national and international significance. Occupation of the Training School as Camp 30 ended in April of 1945. 1.4 After the war, use as a Training School resumed, name changes occurred and other changes, related to the philosophy of dealing with young offenders eventually saw the elimination of Training Schools in Ontario after 1979. The Province offered the property to the Municipality at fair market value in 1983. The Council of the day declined, citing acquisition cost, cost of maintenance, building renovation costs, other operational matters and the distance of the facility from Bowmanville's downtown. 1.5 Between 1983 and 2008 the property was used as different schools including St. Stephen's Catholic Secondary School. While the property was operated as a school from 1983-2008, the sports fields were leased by the Municipality and used by many of the recreational leagues in Clarington. 1.6 In 2007 the property was purchased by Lambs Road School Property Ltd. (Kaitlin/Fandor). Darul Uloom, an Islamic University, had owned the lands since 2004 and continued to operate until they relocated in October of 2008. The private sewage treatment system for the site failed and an order from the Ministry of the Environment meant costly repairs or replacement of the private system, or connection to the municipal sewage system. The site has been vacant since 2008. Attachment 3 to Report PSD -041-19 1.7 In 2013 the site was declared a National Historic Site by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. Based on the strength of the national designation Council authorized staff to assist with the formation of the Jury Lands Foundation. 1.8 The 2014 conditions survey and mothballing plan by Goldsmith Borgal & Company Ltd. Architects and a structural assessment by Ojdrovic Engineering Inc. indicated that the buildings are still in surprisingly good condition considering their exposure to environmental conditions and vandalism. 1.9 In 2015 a trail license agreement to allow for the extension of a walking trail from Sprucewood Drive to the campus and south to Concession Street was entered into between the owners and Municipality. In 2016 an agreement was reached with the property owners regarding lands that would upon development of adjacent parcels be turned over the Municipality as parkland. The community vision work has "impacted" this agreement. The property owners have repeatedly stated that they will convey some portion of their lands in advance of any development approvals to allow the Jury Lands Foundation to commence fundraising.
