MINUTES Resolution #GPA-456-11 Moved by Councillor Hooper, seconded by Councillor Woo THAT the minutes of the regular meeting of the General Purpose and Administration Committee held on June 13, 2011, be approved. CARRIED PRESENTATIONS There were no presentations. DELEGATIONS Rick Roddy, President of the Union Rod and Gun Club, was present regarding Report CLD-017-11, amendments to Noise By-law. He introduced Paul Young, Range Operator, Union Rod and Gun Club. Mr. Roddy provided the Committee with the history of the Union Rod and Gun Club, beginning in 1938. He noted that the Club is a volunteer, non-profit organization with no more than 150 members, including young competition shooters. Mr. Roddy stated that the range is available to members who have successfully completed all safety programs. He informed the Committee that the Club is not certified for fully automatic firearms. Mr. Roddy stated that they have had a good relationship with the neighbours. He added that they have recently moved their target area and as a result will be performing work such as berms, plantings and sound absorption techniques to minimize the noise. Mr. Roddy stated that the Club will continue to strive to reduce the impact on the neighbours and he looks forward to their continued input. He added that he is seeking clarification regarding the indoor activities, as the current by-law is silent on the matter. Mr. Roddy confirmed that the Union Rod and Gun Club is below the current 70 decibel restriction. Jeremy Ross, area resident, was present on behalf of Karen McArthur, Allan Risebrough, Marlene Risebrough, Nancy Wilson, Jim Wilson, Sue Richards, and Lynne Richards, regarding Report CLD-017-11, amendments to Noise By-law. - 3 - 4-3 General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes June 27, 2011 Mr. Ross read excerpts from neighbours indicating the following concerns: • Enjoyment of life has been restricted by the Orono Fish and Gun Club • During the fall of 2010 a cannon was fired which shook the house • Children are scared of the noise • Residents retired to the area in a peaceful setting, not middle of a war zone. He referred to a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) shooting range publication which indicates that valley locations are not recommended. Mr. Ross also referenced Ontario's Environmental Protection Act which prohibits the discharge of a contaminant into the natural environment if the discharge causes or may cause an adverse affect. He informed the Committee that the neighbours cannot enjoy their property because it is too noisy to be outside. Mr. Ross stated that he is concerned about the health of his family. He noted that several health studies have indicated that sound creates a startled reflex where adrenaline is released, heart rate and blood pressure increases, the immune system is altered, and appetite is suppressed. In conclusion, Mr. Ross stated that the noise from the Orono Gun Club is too loud, too frequent, and needs to be regulated. Allan McArthur, area resident, was also present on behalf of Karen McArthur, Marlene Risebrough, Nancy Wilson, Jim Wilson, Sue Richards, and Lynne Richards, regarding Report CLD-017-11, amendments to noise by-law. Mr. McArthur stated that he is a real estate agent and that he believes that home sellers in the vicinity of the Orono Fish and Gun Club are receiving approximately 20% less for their home when selling. In addition, he indicated that it takes longer to sell a house in the area. Mr. McArthur read an excerpt of a letter from another realtor who had difficulty showing a home near the Orono Fish & Gun Club. He stated that the executive of the Club has not been reasonable and has not considered any changes. Mr. McArthur spoke to the RCMP study which indicated 50 dBAI is better than the 70 dBAI but grandfathered pre-1980 facilities. He questioned the 31 year grandfathering period. He asked Council to establish a clear noise level limit of 50 dBAI, to limit the days of the week to only 2 days per week (preferably not Sunday), and that shooting hours be restricted to 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mr. McArthur noted that were 19 days of shooting between June 1st and June 22nd He asked that the use of the Club be limited to members only. Mr. McArthur read comments from two neighbours indicating that their enjoyment of their property has been compromised by the shooting. Councillor Neal declared a pecuniary interest in Report PSD-058-11, including Mr. Mensink's delegation, due to the fact that he has represented Mr. Veltri (the applicant) in the past. Councillor Neal left the room and did not participate in discussions and voting on this matter. - 4 - 4-4 General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes June 27, 2011 Nick Mensink, Sernas Associates, was present regarding Report PSD-058-11, Proposed Amendment to Conditions of Draft Approval Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 18T-89048. He stated that he is in agreement with the recommendations in Report PSD-058-11 and was present to answer any questions from the Committee. Ron Alldred, President, Orono Fish and Hunt Club, was present regarding Report CLD-017-11, amendments to Noise By-law. Mr. Alldred was present to speak to the current list of complaints regarding the Orono Fish and Hunt Club. He stated that 11 years ago there were 350 members, now there are approximately 300 members. Mr. Alldred stated there has been no change in the calibre of ammunition used and that the curfew has been adhered to. He stated that the Club has tried to work toward solutions to reducing the,noise, such as changing the ending time on Sunday to 5:00 pm from dusk. Mr. Alldred stated that he only recently heard about the report and today's meeting. He explained that the Club could, and is willing to, create a sound berm along the east side of the property if the Municipality of Clarington would relinquish the unused road allowance and provide the necessary clean fill. He confirmed that the RCMP were using the range for qualifying in May and June on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Recent sound tests indicate that they are near, or slightly over, the 70 dBAI level. He confirmed their Club has no caliber restrictions and recently shot off a canon, with cremated remains, in honour of a Club member. RECESS Resolution #GPA-457-11 Moved by Councillor Partner, seconded by Councillor Traill THAT the Committee recess for 10 minutes. CARRIED The meeting resumed at 11:17 a.m. DELEGATIONS - Continued Dianne Vetzal, local resident to the Union Rod & Gun Club, was present regarding Report CLD-017-11, amendments to Noise By-law. She stated that no one she has contacted is opposed to having the gun club in the neighbourhood, but they are concerned about the increased frequency in the noise. She stated that the noise is not coming from the gun club members, but a rather security team from the Ontario Power Generation who is using semi-automatic weapons on the Gun Club property. Ms. Vetzal stated that it is impossible to sit in her yard and have a conversation. She noted that the change is that there are now multiple shots fired close together. Ms. Vetzal is concerned about decreasing property values and is looking for a solution. She suggested that the security team train at a military base or that the Gun Club build an - 5 - 4-5 General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes June 27, 2011 indoor facility. Ms. Vetzal suggested that two days per month would be more appropriate than the15 days which occurred in May. She asked that the noise levels be investigated as the Union Club is registering 72 dBAI at the club and 70 dBAI at the neighbour's next to the Club. She stated that her research shows 70 dBAI is the same level as normal conversation, but her experience has been that the noise is closer to that of"fireworks going off". Ms. Vetzal believes this to be more of a commercial operation than a Club and requested that something be done to limit duration, frequency and length. Mike Box was present regarding Report CLD-017-11, amendments to Noise By-law. Mr. Box stated that he is a neighbour to the Union Rod & Gun Club. He noted that he purchased his house eight years ago and that he has no problem with the club shooting, but rather the additional days and noise from the OPG security team. He stated that he agrees with everything that Ms. Vetzal stated. He encouraged Council Members to attend his property to hear the noise. John Baker, President and Range Operator, the Marksmen Club, was present regarding Report CLD-017-11, amendments to Noise By-law. He informed the Committee that the Marksmen Club is an indoor facility, operating since 1960. Mr. Baker noted that it is open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. He stated that he believes that there may be a misunderstanding regarding gun club. Mr. Baker noted that there are federal guidelines, administrated by the Province of Ontario which the Club must meet. He added that all gun clubs are registered Ontario corporations, run by directors, and adhere to provincial and federal regulations. Mr. Baker explained that all members have a firearms possession and acquisition licence. Mr. Baker noted that during a recent inspection, he obtained a statement from the Municipality of Clarington indicating that the Club conforms to all the Municipal by-laws. He informed the Committee that he has recently discovered a 2007 Clarington by-law which would affect how the Club operates regarding their hours. Mr. Baker stated that, since the Marksmen Club is all indoors, it is different than the other Clarington clubs. He requested, since the Marksmen Club is a unique, all indoor facility which operates 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, that Section 3.1(c) of the draft by-law be deleted. As well, he requested that the 70 decibels restriction remain in effect. He confirmed that the Club has approximately 270 members. Dean Link had indicated, during the recess, that he could not stay any longer and was therefore unavailable to speak. Keith Linton's name was called, but he was not present. - 6 - 4-6 General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes June 27, 2011 Tony Bernardo, representing Orono Fish and Hunt Club, and in his role as the Executive Director for the Institute of Legislative Action, a division of the Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA), was present regarding Report CLD-017-11, amendments to Noise By-law. Mr. Bernardo stated that he is an accredited expert witness; course instructor; and advisor to the Minister of Public Safety's Firearms Technical Committee, among other qualifications. He stated that he has been a member of the Orono Fish and Hunt Club for 30 years, and a Board Member. He stated that the Club has made an effort to be a good neighbour; with reduced rates and invitations to public gatherings at the clubs, donating funds to Orono, honouring soldiers, and other civic activities. Mr. Bernardo stated that the RCMP, Ministry of Natural Resources Bear Management Team, and CP Rail police use the facility. He noted that, during June, a vast majority of the shooting days were used by the RCMP. Mr. Bernardo stated that he believes this proposed by-law is an unwarranted attack on the Orono Fish and Hunt Club. He added that Section 1.0 of the proposed by-law represents little change to the Club's activities and that changes could have been achieved by a request to the Club rather than through a by-law. Mr. Bernardo indicated that Section 1.1 of the proposed by-law does not state the circumstances in which the noise took place or contemplate noise changes with humidity and other conditions, and believes this to be harassment by the Municipality. Mr. Bernardo explained that the Club has been in existence since 1899 and therefore qualifies as a "traditional" activity under the by-law. He stated that the Club is regularly inspected and has been issued a federal license to operate and therefore the federal license supersedes a local by-law. Mr. Bernardo stated that the Club has met with Councillor,Partner to discuss the unused road allowance with a view to having the Municipality transfer/sell the land in order to build a berm. He concluded by reminding the Committee that the noise from the impending 407 extension will drown the noise from the Club. Mr. Bernardo submitted a copy of case law indicating ultra vires. Resolution #GPA-458-11 Moved by Councillor Neal, seconded by Councillor Woo THAT the Rules of Procedure be suspended to allow Members of Committee to speak to the matter a second time. CARRIED Councillor Novak chaired this portion of the meeting. Mayor Foster left the meeting at 12:28 p.m. Tammy Gould, area resident near the Orono Fish and Gun Club, was present regarding Report CLD-017-11, amendments to Noise By-law. Ms. Gould stated that she is a new (since August, 2010) resident to the area. She stated that the real estate sales agent informed her that the Gun Club only has shooting on Wednesdays and Sundays. She stated that she will be seeking legal action regarding overpayment of 20% of the - 7 - 4-7 General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes June 27, 2011 purchase price due to the impact of the Gun Club. She stated that she is concerned about the high amount of property taxes. Ms. Gould played a video, which included audio of the shooting range. Mayor Foster returned to the meeting at 12:34 p.m. and chaired this portion of the meeting. Ms. Gould indicated that the noise from the shooting range is causing (nervousness, weight loss, and anxiety) on her two dogs, which has resulted in one dog attacking the other dog. She indicated that this has cost $1000. Ms. Gould stated that she fears for the safety of her children around the dogs, as they have been affected by the sounds. She stated that this is an injustice that must be corrected.

The application has been deemed complete and circulated to the relevant departments and agencies. 2.2 On April 19, 2011, Roman and Elzbieta Sobczak submitted an application for land division of their property. The Land Division Committee Office circulated the land division application to Clarington on May 17, 2011. Clarington staff provided positive comments on the application to the Land Division Committee Office, subject to conditions of approval including approval of the Zoning By-law Amendment. The Land Division Committee approved the application, subject to conditions, at their June 13, 2011 meeting. No one attended the meeting in opposition of the application. The rezoning will have to be approved in orderfor staff to issue Clarington's Land Division clearance letter. 2.3 The applicants have submitted an Environmental Noise Impact Study with their rezoning application and it is anticipated the recommendations of this study will be part of the development agreement for the above-mentioned land division. 3.0 LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 3.1 The subject property contains a single detached dwelling on a wide residential lot. The existing dwelling is located closer to the west boundary of the property, thereby providing much room for a second dwelling on the east side of the lot (see Figure 1 on page 3 of Report PSD-061-11). 8-2 REPORT NO.: PSD-061-11 PAGE 3 D T.� n � n t f p 1 _ FIGURE 1 -SOBCZAK PROPERTY 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows (see above Figure 1): North: Vacant South: Lawson Road, and to the south, Single Detached Residences East: Single Detached Residences West: Single Detached Residences 4.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) promotes opportunities for intensification, including infilling, where it can be accommodated. The availability of suitable existing or planned infrastructure and public service facilities required to accommodate projected needs must be taken into account. Planning authorities are required to provide for a range of housing types and densities. A ten year supply of designated residential lands and a three year supply of residentially zoned and serviced lands are required. The application conforms to the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement. 4.2 Provincial Growth Plan The Provincial Growth Plan directs growth to built-up areas where the capacity exists to best accommodate the expected population. The guiding principles include building 8-3 REPORT NO.: PSD-061-11 PAGE 4 compact, vibrant and complete communities while optimizing the use of existing and new infrastructure to support growth in a compact efficient form. As the application for zoning amendment is within the built boundary, it conforms to the Provincial Growth Plan. 5.0 OFFICIAL PLANS 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the property as within Living Areas. Lands designated Living Areas are to be used predominantly for housing with a wide variety of types, sizes and tenure. Intensification of existing areas is encouraged. The application conforms. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan The Clarington Official Plan designates the property Urban Residential. Urban Residential lands are to be predominantly used for housing. The application conforms. 6.0 ZONING BY-LAW 6.1 Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended, zones the subject lands "Agricultural (A)". An amendment to the By-law is required in order to facilitate the severance of the property into two single detached lots, (the new lot being vacant and the retained lot having the existing dwelling) hence, this application. The existing residential use has deficient interior side yard setbacks and dwelling unit area relative to standard zone provisions. This will need to be addressed through this rezoning. 7.0 SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND STUDIES 7.1 The Environmental Noise Impact Study concluded there could be potentially increased noise levels from Townline Road North (a Type 'B' Arterial) and the future Adelaide Avenue East Extension (a Type 'C' Arterial). The severed parcel's outdoor amenity area/rear yard could be affected and hence, the need for a warning clause to be registered on title for said parcel. The said parcel's proposed dwelling must have forced air ducting, sized to accommodate a central air conditioning unit and these two additional clauses must be registered on title. 8.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 8.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject property. This notice was mailed shortly before the postal strike but, individuals should have received notice. Furthermore, the Region provided public notice for the related land division application. Public notice signage was installed on the property 26 days prior to the public meeting date. 8-4 REPORT NO.: PSD-061-11 PAGE 5 8.2 No inquiries were received on the application at the time of writing this report. 9.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 9.1 The application has been circulated to the appropriate departments and agencies for comment. 9.2 Central Lake Ontario Conservation has no objections to the proposed rezoning. However, they did make a few comments on the submitted land severance and grading plans that require minor adjustments to the site layout. Planning staff forwarded these comments to both applicant and consultant. 9.3 Durham Regional Planning stated the proposal is permitted by the Durham Regional Official Plan, and generally conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The subject property is near Townline Road North, a Type 'B' arterial road. The applicant submitted an Environmental Noise Impact Study. The Region requires the noise abatement measures be implemented through the applicant's Agreement with the Municipality of Clarington, to the satisfaction of the Region. 9.4 Durham Regional Works remarked the subject property's existing dwelling is connected to watermain and sanitary sewer. The severed (vacant) parcel is subject to watermain (existing) frontage and water connection (not existing) charges. For said parcel, the sanitary sewer frontage charge was paid previously but, the parcel is subject to the sanitary sewer connection charge. Regional Development Charges apply to the severed parcel. 10.0 STAFF COMMENTS 10.1 Through the Environmental Noise Impact Study the noise mitigation measures have been identified. They will be implemented through an agreement with the Municipality of Clarington. The land division application will not be finalized until the rezoning has been finalized. The zoning deficiencies identified earlier, in Section 6.1 of Report PSD- 061-11, are recognized through an Exception zone. 10.2 The street is made up of a variety of lot frontages and lot areas. The applicant proposes to create a 15 metre wide lot for the existing dwelling, and a 21.5 metre wide lot for the new dwelling. These lot frontages and areas will not be out of place on the street. The zoning will allow the consent condition to be satisfied and allows for intensification from the existing situation. 10.3 The existing dwelling lot requires two parking spaces, each 5.7 metres long. The existing driveway has ample width for two spaces but the length of the spaces to the existing fence and gate is deficient. The fence and gate must be relocated north 1.2 metres prior to the land division clearance letter being sent. 8-5 REPORT NO.: PSD-061-11 PAGE 6 10.4 Clarington Engineering Services requires: • A grading plan that demonstrates no increase in stormwater runoff to adjacent properties. • The driveway configuration as shown must be changed since kinked driveways are not permitted. • The property has been stubbed for storm sewer and sanitary sewer services but, a road occupancy permit is needed to connect to water service in the boulevard, and the boulevard must be restored with a restoration security required at that time. • The applicant is to pay a storm sewer connection charge to Clarington at the time of building permit application. 11.0 CONCLUSIONS 11.1 Provided there are no significant objections raised at the Public Meeting, approval of the application and adoption of the by-law contained in Attachment 2 is recommended.

Crome, MCIP, RPP Franklin Wu, Director of Planning Services Chief Administrative Officer CS/CP/ah/df 30 June 2011 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T(905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 8-10 REPORT NO.: PSD-062-11 PAGE 2 1.0 APPLICATION DETAILS 1.1 Applicant: Wesley and Margaret Knapp 1.2 Agent: Ronald Worboy 1.3 Proposal: To permit a small engine repair business in the garage attached to the principal dwelling for a maximum of three (3) years. 1.4 Area: 0.675 hectares 1.5 Location: 5105 Main Street, Orono, being in Lot 28, Concession 5, former Township of Clarke (Attachment 1) 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 On May 2, 2011, Mr. Ronald Worboy, on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Knapp, submitted an application for a rezoning to permit a small engine repair business in a garage attached to the principal dwelling. The rezoning application was submitted under Section 39 of the Planning Act, which permits Council to pass a by-law for the temporary use of land, buildings or structures for any purpose set out therein that is otherwise prohibited by the by-law for a maximum of three (3) years. The application was deemed incomplete since the fees did not accompany the application. The fees were received on May 24, 2011 and the application was deemed complete. 2.2 In September 2010, Mr. and Mrs. Knapp applied to the Committee of Adjustment for a minor variance to expand the definition of home occupation in Zoning By-law 84-63 to permit the small engine repair business in the attached garage to their home. The Knapp's applied for the variance after being advised by By-law Enforcement that complaints had been received from neighbouring residents. 2.3 Mr. Knapp has operated the business from the garage since 1979. However it has only been in the past year that he has operated the business on a full time basis. Prior, the business was operated on a part time basis. The Township of Clarke By-law 1592, passed on May 23, 1968 did not permit a small engine repair business as a home occupation. Similarly the current Zoning By-law 84-63 does not permit the use as a home occupation. As such, the use does not have legal non-conforming status. 2.4 The application was not supported by Staff as it did not meet the home occupation criteria in the Clarington Official Plan and the Zoning By-law. The criteria for home occupation are intended to limit impacts of the home occupation on residential neighbourhoods. The nature of the complaints from area residents are noise, hours of operation and on-street parking problems. The repair business was taking place within the attached garage. Home occupations are to be completely contained within the 8-11 REPORT NO.: PSD-062-11 PAGE 3 dwelling unit, excluding the garage. Staff determined that the use did not meet the criteria. At the Committee of Adjustment meeting of October 28, 2010, many area residents attended the meeting in support of the application. Immediate neighbours spoke in opposition to the application. The application was denied by the Committee of Adjustment. 2.5 Immediately following the Committee's decisions, Staff met with Mr. and Mrs. Knapp to discuss options for the business. One option was to move the business to another site, where it would be permitted. Another option was to "go mobile" whereby Mr. Knapp would drive to the home owners house or business establishment and repair the small engines on site. 2.6 Mr. and Mrs. Knapp elected to appeal the decision of the Committee of Adjustment. The appeal was to be heard on April 29, 2011. On April 19, 2011 Staff received a copy of a letter to the Ontario Municipal Board from Mr. Ronald Worboy, acting on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Knapp, withdrawing the appeal. 2.7 On May 10, 2011 Mr, and Mrs. Knapp were charged by By-law Enforcement for failure to comply with the Zoning By-law and Sign By-law. Typically a remedy to Zoning By- law infractions is to legalize the use, hence this application. 3.0 LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 3.1 The subject property is located on the south east corner of Main Street and Cobbledick Street in Orono, municipal address being 5105 Main Street. According to assessment records the home was built in 1900, with the attached garage and a covered porch, being added sometime later. The home encroaches on the Cobbledick Street road allowance (Attachment 2). f Y .cm 8-12 REPORT NO.: PSD-062-11 PAGE 4 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: North - single detached dwellings South - single detached dwellings East - single detached dwellings West - single detached dwellings 4.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement 4.1.1 Orono is a "Settlement Area" in the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). The PPS encourages a range and mix of residential and employment land uses within existing settlement areas. 4.2 Provincial Green Belt Plan 2005 4.2.1 Orono is a "Settlement Area" in the Greenbelt Plan. "Settlement Areas" within the Greenbelt support and provide significant economic, social and commercial functions to agricultural areas and rural areas in the Greenbelt. TownNillages as identified in municipal Official Plans and within approved boundaries continue to be governed by the municipal Official Plan. 5.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan 5.1.1 The subject lands are designated as "Living Area" within the Durham Regional Official Plan. Lands within this designation shall be used predominantly for housing purposes incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure to provide living accommodations that address various socio-economic factors. A mix of uses such as certain home occupations, convenience stores, public and recreational uses which are compatible with their surroundings are permitted. Limited office development and retailing of goods and services in appropriate locations and as a component of mixed use development may also be permitted in "Living Areas" provided there are appropriate provisions and designations in the area municipal Official Plan. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan 5.2.1 The subject lands are designated as "Urban Residential" in the Clarington Official Plan. The predominant use of lands within "Urban Residential" designation shall be for housing purposes. Other uses may be permitted which by the nature of their activity, scale and design are supportive, compatible within and serve residential uses. These include corner stores, home based occupations, parks, schools and community facilities. 8-13 REPORT NO.: PSD-062-11 PAGE 5 5.2.2 Home based occupation is defined as the use of a residential dwelling for the purposes of conducting businesses including professional offices, personal services, institutional services, home craft business, day care, bed and breakfast, repair services excluding small engines and vehicles. The Official Plan provides criteria for home-based occupations as follows: a) The use shall not change the residential character of the structure and is completely contained within the dwelling unit; excluding the garage space; b) The use does not exceed the equivalent of 30% of the habitable area of the residence; c) There is no exterior display of merchandise or outside storage of goods or material associated with the said use, and signage shall comply with the provision of the sign by-law, as amended from time to time; d) The use is not a public nuisance due to noise, glare, dust, odors, vibration, hours of operation, interruption of communication signals or traffic generation; e) Employees are limited to those residing in the dwelling unit plus one additional person; and f) There is adequate off street parking. 5.2.3 The Official Plan policies relating to Temporary Use By-laws state that Temporary Use By-laws may be passed to permit the use of lands, buildings or structures, on a temporary basis, for any purpose provided that: a) the proposed use is temporary in nature; b) the proposed use is compatible with the adjacent existing land uses, there is minimal impact on the Natural Features and Land Characteristics on Map `C', or satisfactory measures to mitigate any adverse impact will be applied; c) there will be no adverse impacts on traffic or transportation facilities or services in the area; d) adequate access and parking are provided; e) the use can be removed and the site can be restored to its original condition; f) adequate sewage disposal and water services are available in compliance with provincial and regional standards; and g) it does not jeopardize the long term implementation of the plan. 6.0 ZONING BY-LAW 6.1 Within Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended, the lands are zoned "Urban Residential Type One Exception (R1-2) Zone". A Zoning By-law Amendment was submitted in order to permit the proposed use on a temporary basis for a maximum of three (3) years. 8-14 REPORT NO.: PSD-062-11 PAGE 6 7.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 7.1 Public Notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject sites. A Public Notice sign was installed on the property. 7.2 As of the date of writing this report, Staff have received three (3) inquiries from area residents who inquired about attending the public meeting in support of the application. Staff also have received one letter in support of the application. There have been two inquiries from neighbouring residents who do not support the small engine repair business in this location. 8.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 8.1 The Region of Durham advised that the subject lands are designated as Living Area within the Durham Regional Official Plan. "Living Areas" are to be used predominantly for housing purposes, with limited office development and limited retailing of goods and services. The proposed amendment is in conformity with the Regional Official Plan. The Region also advises that the application has been reviewed in accordance with the delegated provincial review responsibilities. Regarding the potential site contamination the Site Screening Questionnaire has been submitted but requires sign-off by a qualified person. The Region of Durham Health Department has no objection to the application for rezoning. The Region of Durham Works Department advises that the property is currently connected to the Regional water system. Regional sanitary sewers are not available to the site. 9.0 STAFF COMMENTS 9.1 Clarington Engineering Services notes that currently, Cobbledick Street is signed "NO PARKING" on the north side. By way of a letter survey recently conducted by the Engineering Services Department, the majority of Cobbledick Street property owners endorsed, maintaining the "NO PARKING" on this side of the street. In addition, in response to complaints by area residents pertaining to the inability of trucks turning onto Cobbledick Street from Main Street in the presence of cars parked near the intersection. staff consulted and agree with the Region of Durham and the Emergency Services Department with respect to signing the south side of Cobbledick Street "NO PARKING" for a distance of 25 metres from the Regional Road 17 intersection easterly. This no parking zone will be established in the near future. The Engineering Services Department does not support the approval of this application due to the lack of on-street and on-site parking in the vicinity of the engine repair business. 8-15 REPORT NO.: PSD-062-11 PAGE 7 9.2 Staff explored whether additional parking can be accommodated on the subject property. There appears to be sufficient area to accommodate two cars side by side only leaving 2 metres to the property line, which is not sufficient room to accommodate another parking space for clients. Furthermore, given the comments from Engineering Services and Emergency Services regarding signing "NO PARKING" on the south side of Cobbledick Street to accommodate turning movements for emergency and other vehicles, there is no on-street parking opportunities in front of the property for clients. 9.3 The Clarington Emergency and Fire Services advise that if the rezoning is approved then an inspection is required. 9.4 In support of the application, Mr. Worboy provided information regarding various commercial uses within Orono, outside of the business establishments located on Main Street in Orono designated as "Village Centre" and zoned for commercial uses. (Attachment 3). Out of the 23 businesses identified, some appeared to be home occupations. Others are located at the east side of Orono within a "Special Purpose Commercial Exception (C4-2) Zone", "Light Industrial (M1) Zone", and "Hamlet Commercial Exception (C3-5) Zone"; all zones permitting commercial and industrial uses. Some uses identified would not appear to be permitted based on the current zoning of the property. However, no details on how long these businesses have been in existence was submitted. Staff did not examine in any detail whether such uses comply with the By-law provisions. 9.5 Regardless of Mr. Worboy's information, this application must be reviewed on its own merits. The Official Plan is explicit in its definition of small engine repair business and where the use is permitted. Small engine repair is permitted as home industry in the Official Plan. Home industries are permitted on lands that are designated "Prime Agricultural", "General Agricultural", "Natural Linkage Area" and "Green Space". Small engine repair services are not permitted in an "Urban Residential" designation. By the nature of the business, this use creates noise and may require the repairs to be conducted outdoors depending on the size of equipment. Additional space is also required to off load or load equipment. This use is permitted in rural areas to allow for greater distance between land uses. The criteria for home occupation are provided to protect neighbouring residents from businesses that cause nuisances such as noise, parking problems and hours of operation. Furthermore, one of the criteria for Council to consider is permitting a temporary use is to ensure that adequate parking can be accommodated. It cannot in this instance. 10.0 CONCLUSION 10.1 Mr. Knapp's small engine repair business has been in that location for many years. However, a small engine repair business is not permitted in the "Urban Residential" designation in the Clarington Official Plan. It does not meet the criteria for a Home Occupation, or the Temporary Use Provisions. As such, Staff recommend that this application be refused.

The subject lands are also referred to as 2640 Trulls Road South, Courtice (Attachment 1). 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 The subject block was approved as a future development block and created through a plan of subdivision that received draft plan approval in 1992 and was subsequently registered. The rezoning of the block was withheld until.the finalization of a site plan application under review at the time. 2.2 In 1996, the lands were rezoned Neighbourhood Commercial Exception (C2-5) Zone, which permits a range of commercial uses, including a medical or dental clinic and office space. Site plan approval was granted for a 500 square metre building containing a medical/dental clinic and a pharmacy. The agreement was registered on title, but a building permit was never applied for and the development of the site never materialized. 2.3 The current owner of the subject lands has applied for an official plan amendment and a rezoning which would allow for the proposed residential use of the site. 8-22 REPORT NO.: PSD-063-11 PAGE 3 2.4 , The applicant indicates that the residential units will be rental units. 2.5 As part of the complete application, a planning justification report was submitted and is under review. 3.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING LAND USES 3.1 The subject property is a block within a previously registered plan of subdivision. The lands are currently vacant. There are two existing driveways located along Trulls Road (Attachment 2). 3.2 Surrounding Uses North: Existing medium density street townhouse units South: Stormwater flow route (part of Robinson Creek Regulatory floodplain) zoned Environmental Protection; existing low density residential development East: Existing low density residential development; lands designated Special Study Area 1 (Courtice Main Central Area) West: Existing medium density street townhouse units 4.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY 4.1 2005 Provincial Policy Statement The Provincial Policy Statement identifies settlement areas as the focus of growth. Land use patterns within settlement areas shall be based on the efficient use of land, infrastructure and other public services, such as public transit. Opportunities for intensification and redevelopment shall be indentified and promoted. A land use pattern, density and mix of uses should be promoted to minimize vehicle trips and support transportation choices, including public transit. 4.2 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe The Provincial Growth Plan provides a framework for accommodating growth in both existing built up areas, through intensification and redevelopment. The subject lands are within the defined built up area. By 2015, a minimum of 40 per cent of all residential development occurring annually within the Region of Durham is required to be within the built-up area and will be further allocated through the Clarington Official Plan. Reducing dependence on the automobile is achieved through the development of mixed-use, transit-supportive, pedestrian-friendly urban environments. Complete communities are those that offer a mix of land uses and high quality public open spaces with easy access to local stores and services. Major growth is to be directed to areas serviced by existing or planned municipal infrastructure, such as water and sewer services. 8-23 REPORT NO.: PSD-063-11 PAGE 4 5.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan Within the Durham Regional Official Plan, the lands are designated as Living Area. Lands designated as Living Area permit the development of communities with defined boundaries, incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure. Home occupations and convenience stores, in addition, certain public and recreational uses are permitted provided they are compatible with their surroundings. The subject lands are located along Trulls Road, which is designated as a Type "B" Arterial. In consideration of development applications in designated Living Areas, regard shall be had for the intent of the proposed plan to achieve the following: • A compact urban form; • The use of good urban design principles; • The provision of convenient pedestrian access to public transit, educational facilities and parks; • A grid pattern of roads; • The provision and distribution of parks, trails and pathways and educational facilities; • The types and capacities of the existing municipal services, infrastructure and the feasibility of expansion; and • The balance between energy efficiency and cost. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan In the Clarington Official Plan, the lands are designated Urban Residential. The Urban Residential designation would allow for Low Density residential development (single detached and semi-detached dwellings) between 10 — 30 units per net hectare. High Density residential development generally has the following characteristics: • A density between 61 — 100 units per net hectare; • A maximum height of 6 storeys; and • Located within town or village centres and adjacent to King Street. High density residential development will be reviewed on the basis of the following site development criteria: • The site is suitable in terms of size and shape to accommodate the proposed density and building form; • The proposed development is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood in terms of scale, massing, height, siting, setbacks, shadowing, and the location of parking and amenity areas; 8-24 REPORT NO.: PSD-063-11 PAGE 5 • Adequate on-site parking, lighting, landscaping and amenity areas are provided; and, • The impact of traffic on local streets is minimized. The Clarington Official Plan contains policies that encourage the creation of affordable rental housing and intensification that is compatible and sensitive to the physical character of the existing neighbourhood. Residential intensification is permitted where there is adequate hard and soft services; access to community facilities, shopping and transit; capacity in the road system to accommodate traffic; adequate onsite parking; and, the proposal is physically compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood. The subject lands are proximate to the Courtice Main Central Area (Special Study Area No. 1). Ongoing policy development is occurring specific to this area. The Courtice Main Street Master Development Plan Report was approved by Council in September 2010. Within the special study area, the Report recommends a mix of residential, retail and commercial uses with a maximum height of 6 storeys. The recommendations of the Report will form the basis of a secondary plan for the Courtice Main Central Area. Map C1, Natural Heritage System indicates that a significant woodland and a warm water stream are within 120 metres of the subject site. However, since this is a block within a previously approved and otherwise built-out plan of subdivision, lands to be developed and lands to remain in their natural state have already been determined, therefore the preparation of an environmental impact study is not required. According to Map B1, the subject lands are located along Trulls Road which is a Type B Arterial Road. Type B Arterial Roads are designed to move significant volumes of traffic at moderate speeds from one part of the Municipality to the other. Generally, one access to a Type B Arterial Road is permitted for every 80 metres. 6.0 ZONING BY-LAW 6.1 Within Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended, the lands are "Neighbourhood Commercial Exception (C2-5)". The C2-5 zone permits: • Business, professional or administration office; • Day nursery; • Dry cleaners distribution centre; • Eating establishment; take-out; • Laundry, coin-operated;, • Convenience store; • Medical or dental clinic; • Private club; • Retail commercial establishment; and • Service shop; personal. 6.2 Under the C2-5 Zone, the maximum permitted height is 10 metres (32.8 feet) or approximately 3 storeys. 8-25 REPORT NO.: PSD-063-11 PAGE 6 6.3 A maximum of one dwelling unit for each non-residential use is also permitted by the C2-5 Zone subject to meeting all the zone provisions. 6.4 If approved, the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would reflect the details of the development on a site-specific basis, including a maximum height provision of 13.5 metres (44.3 feet) or approximately 4 storeys. 7.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 7.1 Public Notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site and public meeting signs were erected along Trulls Road South adjacent to the site. 7.2 Public Notice was mailed on June 7, 2011 prior to service disruption at the local Canada Post office. 7.3 A resident of Bushford Street has submitted comments in opposition of the proposed apartment building. The resident suggested a commercial plaza use would be preferred. The resident is of the opinion that the proposed apartment building would: • Decrease property value; Increase noise in the area; • Increase pollution; and, • Impede privacy. 7.4 A resident of Trulls Road has submitted comments in opposition of the proposed apartment building. Additional townhouse development would be preferred and residents may sell their homes should this be approved. The resident is of the opinion that the proposed apartment building would: • Decrease property value; • Increase negative youth/criminal activity; • Increase police presence; and, • Cause the neighbourhood to become unmaintained. 7.5 Another resident of Trulls Road has submitted comments in opposition of the proposed apartment building. The individual would prefer a park at this location which would not increase parking, noise nor crime. The proposal doesn't provide a benefit to the municipality or community. 8.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 8.1 A number of agencies have been circulated the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. 8.2 The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board and Enbridge Gas offer no objections. 8.3 While the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) does not object to the proposed applications, the applicant will be required to demonstrate through the detailed 8-26 REPORT NO.: PSD-063-11 PAGE 7 design that the building will not be impacted by any potential floodwaters. The applicant is required to submit for approval a grading and drainage plan; a servicing plan and a sediment and erosion control plan. The block is part of an overall subdivision plan, therefore the applicant is not required to address water quality on site. CLOCA encourages a 'best efforts' approach on site such as draining clean roof water to grassed areas. Significant woodland areas are identified in the vicinity of the site. The design of the building may implement measures to lessen impact to migratory birds, such as non- reflective materials, and these measures will be encouraged. A permit from CLOCA will be required prior to any site grading or development. 8.4 A number of agency comments, including those from Regional Planning, have not yet been received. The applicant will be required to satisfactorily address all staff and agency comments prior to Council considering a recommendation report in the future. 9.0 STAFF COMMENTS 9.1 The applicant is proposing a high-density residential use of the property and has provided a preliminary site plan and preliminary building drawings included as Attachment 3 and 4 respectively. Should the subject applications be approved, these drawings would be further reviewed during the site plan approval process. 9.2 The applicant also submitted a draft Official Plan Amendment (Attachment 5) which would allow for the increased density if approved. 9.3 While the proposed apartment building is considered high density based on the units proposed relative to the site, a four storey building is typically considered a medium density development. 9.4 The applications will be reviewed against the policies relating to high density residential uses. While the creation of affordable rental units is encouraged, the proposal must be compatible and sensitive to the physical character of the neighbourhood. 9.5 The site's location proximate to the Courtice Main Central Area will also be considered. The proposed 4 storey residential building may be appropriate as the site is in an area of transition between low-rise (2.5 storeys) built form to a medium-rise (up to 6 storeys) built form in the Town Centre area located on the east side of Trulls Road. Should the Official Plan and Zoning Amendment be approved, the Planning Services Department would require the applicant to: a) implement measures relating to perviousness as part of the site plan review process in accordance with the recommendations of the Robinson Creek and Tooley Creek Watershed Study; 8-27 REPORT NO.: PSD-063-11 PAGE 8 b) incorporate street tree improvements to be undertaken on Trulls Road; c) provide on-site landscaping in accordance with the Municipality's Guidelines; d) provide indoor and outdoor amenity areas in accordance with the Municipality's Guidelines; e) provide a lighting plan in accordance with the Municipality's Guidelines; and f) provide an indoor bicycle storage area. 9.6 Clarington Fire and Emergency Services have highlighted the need for a fire hydrant connection within 45 metres. The Building Services Division of the Engineering Services Department has no objection to the applications. 9.7 Clarington Engineering Services has advised that they have no objection to the Official Plan Amendment or Zoning By-law Amendment. However, should these be approved prior to approval of a site plan application, the applicant will be required to satisfy the Engineering Services Department regarding the following: a) The future site plan must utilize the two entrances (as one-way-in and one-way- out) which currently exist on Trulls Road and which were constructed at the time that Trulls Road was reconstructed to facilitate development of these lands. b) The applicant will be required to submit a traffic impact study which accounts for the proposed use and makes recommendations for any improvements required to the road network to facilitate this development. The traffic impact study will be subject to the approval of the Director of Engineering Services, and any recommended improvements must be constructed by the applicant at 100% their cost to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering Services. c) The applicant must demonstrate that there is sufficient on-site parking for the intended use. d) The site is currently stubbed to the property line for storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water. These existing stubs must be utilized to service the site. e) A site grading plan and stormwater management plan must be submitted by a Professional Engineer which demonstrates that the major and minor runoff flows from the site will be conveyed in accordance with the Robinson Creek Master Drainage Plan. These plans will be subject to the approval of the Director of Engineering Services and CLOCK f) The subject property was provided with accesses and servicing at the time that Trulls Road was reconstructed. The applicant will be required as a condition of site plan approval to reimburse the Municipality for 100% of the cost for the installation of the entrances and the storm sewer stub to the property line. 10.0 CONCLUSIONS 10.1 It is recommended that the applications to amend the Clarington Official Plan and implementing Zoning By-law continue to be processed, including the preparation of a 8-28 REPORT NO.: PSD-063-11 PAGE 9 subsequent report considering all agency comments and concerns raised at the Public Meeting.

THAT Report PSD-064-11 be received for information. t� Submitted by:- - / Reviewed by: David J. Crome, MCIP, RPP Franklin Wu, Director of Planning Services Chief Administrative Officer TW/CP/ah/df 5 July 2011 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 EMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 8-41 REPORT NO.: PSD-064-11 PAGE 2 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 It is anticipated that over the summer recess the Directors of Planning and Engineering will be granting site plan approval to the Energy from Waste plant of the Region of York and Durham. The purpose of this report is to review the proposed architectural features and upgrades for the Energy from Waste (EFW) facility and to outline the site plan approval requirements contained in the Host Community Agreement. 2.0 HOST COMMUNITY AGREEMENT 2.1 On February 18, 2010, the Region of Durham entered into a Host Community Agreement with the Municipality of Clarington. This agreement required the following in relation to the processing of the Site Plan application: • Consultation with Clarington in respect to architectural and site plan requirements prior to the submission of a site plan application. • Incorporation of a minimum $9 million cash allowance for architectural treatments and upgrades to the EFW Facility. • A site plan agreement between Clarington and Durham for the development of the EFW facility, including lands required for a private truck access lane. Durham agreed to comply with normal site plan and building code.permit requirements. They are also required to construct a portion of Energy Drive, and all applicable services through their lands. As part of the agreement, Clarington has agreed to expedite the review of all applications for approval related to the construction of the EFW facility. 3.0 SITE PLAN REVIEW 3.1 On May 6, 2011, the Covanta Durham York Renewable Energy Limited partnership submitted a site plan application for the Energy from Waste facility located in the Clarington Energy Business Park at 72 Osborne Road in Courtice. All of the relevant departments and agencies have conducted an initial review of this application and comments were provided to the applicant on June 20, 2011. The applicant submitted revised plans in order to address municipal and agency requirements on June 30. As of the writing of this report the revised plans have been circulated to the agencies, however a detailed review has not been completed. The revised site plan and elevation drawings are contained in Attachments 1, 2 and 3. 3.2 The Region consulted Clarington on potential architectural and site plan requirements which led to staff to prepare "Durham Region EFW Facility in Clarington: Site Planning and Building Design Guidelines"(Site Plan Guidelines) in April 2008 (Attachment 4). This document outlined expectations on architecture, building materials, screening of utilitarian components, landscaping, lighting and the design of the visitor's centre should 8-42 REPORT NO.: PSD-064-11 PAGE 3 the project receive approval from the Ministry of the Environment. The Request for Proposals issued by Durham in August 2008 included portions of the guidelines and the requirements for the successful candidate to obtain site plan approval from Clarington. 3.3 There have been several meetings on the site plan application subsequent to the execution of the Regions' agreement with Covanta Energy Corp. Staff have referenced the Guidelines and the'urban design and other policies of the Energy Park Secondary Plan, both of which were to be addressed in the design of the facility. 3.4 Through the review of the first site plan submission, Planning Staff have requested additional details regarding the design of the Energy from Waste facility. The applicant submitted revised drawings to address issues and technical details requested by the various departments and agencies. Items still being addressed include: • Suggestion for further enhancement on the west elevation; • Better screening of the parking lot and the need for a corner focal point at the Osborne Road/Energy Drive intersection by the OPG development; ' • Relocating the perimeter fence and softening its appearance through landscaping on the public domain portion of the site; and • Better screening to the extent possible the Residue Storage Building (for bottom- ash and fly-ash) and conveyor at the rear of the property. 3.5 Staff are processing the site plan application and are working to ensure that the project fulfils the requirements of the Host Community Agreement and the policies of the Clarington Energy Business Park Secondary Plan as they apply to this site. Once all department and agency requirements have been adequately addressed, site plan approval will be issued and the necessary site plan/development agreement prepared. 4.0 ARCHITECTURAL TREATMENTS AND UPGRADES 4.1 Staff had requested the applicant provide details on how the required $9 million in architectural treatments and upgrades were allocated. The proponent has identified the project enhancements in the following seven components: Offices & Visitors Centre $2,414,000 (27%) Bridge & Canopy $1,182,000 (13%) Building Amalgamation $1,187,000 (13%) Cladding Upgrade $1,847,000 (21%) Roof Profile Upgrade $ 420,000 (5%) Site Enhancement $1,150,000 (13%) The Stack $ 800,000 (8%) 4.2 The architectural treatments and upgrades for each component have been described by the applicant as follows: 8-43 REPORT NO.: PSD-064-11 PAGE 4 Offices & Visitors Centre The Offices and Visitors Centre is the administrative building designed as a separate facility to house Regional employee offices, a training centre and visitor reception, with a dedicated parking lot. The building incorporates the following features: Elevated Building: the building is mounted on columns to present users a view of the Energy from Waste facility, Lake Ontario, and the surrounding area, as well as allowing safe access to the visitor accessible areas of the plant while providing an overpass of the plant road reserved for haul and service vehicles. Cladding: the building envelope makes use of large areas of energy-efficient glazed structural wall systems and architectural concrete. Roof the roof echoes the main plant and is designed with sustainability in mind to protect from the sun and yet maintain visual appeal. Finishes: interior and exterior finishes are of a higher and more durable quality than a typical industrial office environment. Stairs and Elevator: generously scaled and modern public stairs and an additional elevator have been included for the use of visitors and staff. Bridge & CanonV A glass and steel bridge will connect the Visitor's Centre to the plant. The bridge allows the separation of visitors and staff from the necessary movement of haul vehicles, and also reveals a view of the Energy from Waste process, as well as an elevated view of Lake Ontario and the surrounding landscape. The canopy is a visual extension of the bridge, providing cover for visitors and staff and a signage opportunity. Building Amalgamation Energy from Waste facilities typically have a functional appearance resulting from a building envelope of metal cladding surrounding a general arrangement of process equipment, and generally include a feature stripe or the use of more than one colour of cladding. For the Clarington facility, in order to conceive and achieve a building form that has compositional interest and purpose, the footprint of the building has been consolidated into a single, cohesive unit. This requires additional building footprint (additional gross floor area) and the consolidation of building volumes to transform the industrial appearance. Building amalgamation also requires increased foundations, footings and structural components to house a larger building envelope. 8-44 REPORT NO.: PSD-064-11 PAGE 5 Cladding Upgrade Various upgraded building envelope systems, including pre-finished custom colour metal paneling, stone faced garden walls, vertical columns and upper-levels of clerestory translucent/transparent panels, are provided in order to create visual interest as well as increased interior natural lighting. Typical Energy from Waste facilities utilize a single cladding type that leads to large areas of monotone wall space and utilitarian looks. Combining various cladding material types and colours with curved and layered walls enhances the building appearance and reduces the monotone appearance. Roofing Upgrade Related to the cladding upgrade, portions of the roof will be designed and detailed to form an expressive roofline over the Boiler and Refuse Buildings and the Visitor's Centre. The enhanced architectural roof and soffit details and shapes require more complex structural framing to achieve the "fly-over" appearance. The design includes a sustainable reflective and cool roof material for climate-controlled buildings to reduce the heat island effect from solar heat gain. Site Enhancements The site will be extensively planted, with particular attention to screening certain areas of the facility and a landscaped courtyard area at the Visitor's Centre. Fence: the fence along Energy Drive will be upgraded from the standard chain link type fence to an ornamental security fence. Brick garden walls: the separation between the visitor's spaces and the plant will be provided by both curved and straight garden walls. Water feature: a water feature will be designed to enhance and provide interest to the Visitor's Centre. The Stack Typically, stacks are extremely utilitarian and unfinished in appearance. The stack for the Clarington facility will be custom in shape and slightly flared for a smooth and more appealing silhouette. The catwalk and ladder will be enclosed, and the stack will be painted a shade to complement the facility and illuminated to provide further interest. 8-45 REPORT NO.: PSD-064-11 PAGE 6 5.0 CONCLUSION 5.1 Section 2 of this report identified the items within the Host Community Agreement that needed to be addressed as part of the current site plan approval application. In addressing these items: • the Region of Durham, Region of York and Covanta, together with their architect met with municipal staff a number of times prior to the submission of a site plan application to address design issues prior to the site plan process; • The site plan approval and the related development agreement will be undertaken in two phases; the plant and surrounding lands that Covanta is responsible for will be phase I; and the lands that incorporate Energy Drive, the truck access and stormwater management works, that the Regions will be responsible for will be phase II. The Phase I application is well underway, while engineering drawings are currently being prepared for Energy Drive that will form part of phase II or an amending agreement; and • The $9 million in upgrades to the facility have been detailed in this report, based on a description provided by the consultants architect. Site Plan Guidelines were prepared to help ensure that the building would provide some interesting design elements and not be strictly utilitarian in appearance. The plant design has satisfied most of the design elements identified in the "Site Plan Guidelines" dated April 2008 and contained in Attachment 4. Some of the outstanding items are being addressed. The architect has done a good job to improve the public facade of this large landmark building.

Design the facility building as a landmark building.This could have a single building or a series of buildings which form the facility. 2. Key views are from: a. North side of Energy Drive b. Direct views down Energy Drive from East and West c. View from Highway 401 d. View from proposed OPG Office Building e. View from 401/407 interchange ramps 3. Mitigate negative visual impacts,in viewing the facility from all sides.Celebrate its presence with an innovative design representing the modern day technology. 4. Minimize the height of the buildings or other facility components as much as possible.Some sections of the facility such as waste bunker could be located below ground. 5. Design of the chimney to be incorporated with the style of the main building.If more than one chimney,place them together in one chimney enclosure. Architectural excellence in Planning and Design 1. Provide a sophisticated/delicate architectural style to a unique set of structures that enclose the plant operations. 2. The building should reflect an innovative building design as opposed to a typical box type industrial building. 3. Provide articulation of the horizontal and vertical building plane along the Energy Drive frontage. 4. Use cutting edge building treatments and minimize the conventional treatments.Use of glass and metal for exterior walls is recommended and brick and stone is not recommended. 5. Consider providing views into the building showing some machinery. 6. Design and layout different building masses of the entire facility in such away that they all are well connected architecturally with the main building and viewed as components of a single mass.The EFW building will be the principal structure and all other buildings can be subservient to it. 7. Develop a layout that is suitable to the required process and smooth vehicle flow within and around the premises. 8. Consider to design any vehicle ramps as apart of the building and locate them along the building walls.This helps to make less visual impact EFW facility Design Guidelines 00 I U7 April 2008 00 I M N Page 3 Screening 1. Locate aesthetically less impressive components such as garbage handling,cooling condensers,electrical plant,transformer sub stations,out-door storage and ancillary buildings at the back or in-between the principal building units acting them as a means of screening(a built wrap) 2. Any ash handling facility/transmission facility near railways to be screened appropriately 3. Provide additional screening elements such as berms,architectural wall sections extended from main buildings,living walls where required. 4. Locate the garbage truck entrance doors inside'in such away they are not directly visible and enclosed. Landscaping 1. Require well designed landscape treatments in and around the facility. 2. Require tree planting along Energy Drive.Some landscape requirements are provided in the urban design and streetscape guidelines of Energy Park. '3. Provide pedestrian connections from Energy Drive sidewalk to the public accessible areas of the facility.Provide a system of internal sidewalks from the parking lots of the public and the staff to the visitor centre and the facility office. 4. Use landscape elements such as berms,tree lines,paved walkways and water ponds to strengthen the character of the building. 5. Locate and plan the truck access route along the rear boundary of the Energy Park.Consider the possibility of locating the route at a lower level using the existing contours to limit the construction of high noise walls. Illumination 1. Design night time Building illumination enhancing the landmark character. Green Roof 1. Explore the possibilities of having a green roof for entire or certain sections of the facility such as administration and visitor's centre. Visitors Centre 1. Provide a visitor centre in the premises that provides a point of architectural interest(i.e.Brescia WTE Plant) 2.

The purpose of the minor variance applications and the Committee's decisions are detailed in Attachment 1. The decisions of the Committee are summarized below. DECISION OF COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT FOR JUNE 30, 2011 Application Number Staff Recommendation. Decision of Committee A2011-0013 Approve with conditions Approved with conditions A2011-0023 Table Tabled A2011-0024 Table Approved with conditions A2011-0025 Approve Approved 1.2 Application A2011-0013 was originally heard by the Committee of Adjustment on May 12, 2011 at which time it was tabled to allow the Applicant time to continue discussions with Staff regarding certain elements of the application. The Staff comments provided to the Committee of Adjustment on June 30, 2011 recommended approval of the application subject to a number of conditions intended to constrain the location and function of the proposed garage. The Committee concurred with Staff's recommendation and approved the application with conditions. 1.3 Application A2011-0023 was filed to permit the construction of a detached garage (existing) by increasing the maximum permitted height from 4.5 metres to 6 metres and by increasing the maximum permitted total floor area from 120 square metres to 155 square metres. Following the distribution of the public notice, staff became aware of a second accessory building located on the property. This building was not accounted for in the application, nor the circulation or public notice. The application had to be tabled to allow for circulation of the correct information to commenting agencies and the public. In addition, staff continue to have concerns with the proposed variances. The application, as submitted, does not meet the intent of the Zoning By-law and is not considered to be minor. The proposed increase in height and floor area is larger than what staff can support. The Committee concurred with Staff's recommendation and tabled the application to allow time to recirculate the public notice and time for staff to discuss outstanding issues with the applicant. 1.4 Application A2011-0024 was filed to permit the addition of a licensed patio area by reducing the number of required parking spaces from 127 spaces to 78 8-61 REPORT NO.: PSD-065-11 PAGE 3 spaces (existing). In advance of the Committee of Adjustment meeting, staff received letters from two nearby residents expressing concerns with the addition of a patio area to the Legion property. A petition against the application was also submitted from residents on Queen Street, King Street and Ontario Street. While staff did not have any concerns with the parking situation at the Legion, tabling was recommended to allow time for consultation with the public regarding concerns related to the addition of a patio area. A few members of the public attended the Committee of Adjustment meeting, allowing for a productive discussion to take place. Since none of the concerns of nearby residents related specifically to parking (being the subject of the application), the Committee approved the application with the condition that Site Plan Approval be obtained by the Legion from the Municipality for the patio and that a public meeting be held, hosted by the Legion, to discuss issues related to the patio and the Site Plan Application. 1.5 Application A2011-0025 was filed to permit the construction of an attached deck (existing) by increasing the maximum permitted lot coverage from 40% to 43% and by increasing the maximum permitted projection of an unenclosed attached deck into a required rear yard setback from 1.5 metres to 3.5 metres. The Committee concurred with Staff's recommendation and approved the application. 2.0 COMMENTS 2.1 Staff reviewed the Committee's decisions for applications A2011-0013 and A2011-0023 to A2011-0025 and are satisfied that they are in conformity with both Official Plan policies, consistent with the intent of the Zoning By-law, are minor in nature and desirable. 2.2 Council's concurrence with the decisions of the Committee of Adjustment for applications A2011-0013 and A2011-0023 to A2011-0025 is required in order to afford Staff official status before the Ontario Municipal Board in the event of an appeal of any decision of the Committee of Adjustment.

(Senator Homes) 1.2 Location: Part Lot 33 & 34, Concession 1, Former township of Darlington (See Site Location Map - Attachment 1) 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 On June 28, 2011, Staff received an application for the Removal of Part Lot Control with respect to Lots 1 to 18 inclusive, Lots 20L, 23R and 27, as well as Blocks 83, 84, and 86 to 94 inclusive of Plan 40M-2361 (see Attachment 1). Plan 40M-2361 was originally registered on November 6, 2007. It allowed for the development of 35 single detached dwelling lots, 42 semi-detached/linked lots (84 units) and 17 blocks for 99 townhouse units. An application for Removal of Part Lot Control was originally considered and approved in March, 2008. By-law 2008-031 was approved with an expiry period of three (3) years and expired on June 23, 2011. 2.2 The developer has generally been working from south to north in building out this registered plan. A little more than half of the 42 semi-detached/link lots contained in the registered plan have now been constructed and sold. While only about a third of the 17 townhouse blocks have been developed at this time. Gage Park Developments have a number of units scheduled for closings over the summer months. In order to facilitate said closings and transfer of the land a new by-law allowing for exemption from Part Lot Control is required. 3.0 COMMENTS 3.1 Staff has no objection to the approval of a by-law exempting the subject lands from Part Lot Control. Attached is a by-law (Attachment 2) to exempt the subject lands from Section 50(5) of the Planning Act. The by-law could be in force for a three (3) year period following Council approval, ending July 18, 2014. 3.2 In accordance with the procedures established in the delegation of Part Lot Control By- laws, Planning Staff will forward to the Regional Planning Department the "Unit Type and Number Summary Table" (Attachment 3) along with a copy of the Part Lot Control By-law. 3.3 The Finance Department advises that the taxes have been paid in full. 4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 It is recommended that Council approve this application and adopt the attached Part Lot Control By-law for the exemption of Lots 1 to 18 inclusive, 20L, 23R, 27, Blocks 83, 84, and 86 to 94 inclusive of Plan 40M-2361.

Cannella Reviewed by: Franklin Wu Director of Engineering Services Chief Administrative Officer, ASC/ra/jo/jb July 6, 2011 9-2 REPORT NO.: EGD-028-11 PAGE 3 1.0 PURPOSE 1:1 In order to get a clear understanding of what the greater community of Mitchell Corners felt were issues related to Trulls Road that required attention, staff held a Public Information Centre. In addition to receiving input, staff presented a number of potential alternatives to address pedestrian safety and/or elimination of road side ditches. This report provides the input received at the meeting, background relating to the issues raised by the residents, observations by staff and recommendations for consideration of Council. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 On December 14, 2009, Mr. Guiseppe Braccia of 4739 Trulls Road in Mitchell Corners, was a delegation at Council to speak and present a petition in support of a letter sent to the Municipality by Mrs. Betty Massey of 4545 Trulls Road requesting that sidewalks be constructed on Trulls Road through Mitchell Corners and that the ditches be filled in to make maintenance less challenging. On January 11, 2010 the Municipality received two pieces of correspondence for direction which stated that these two separate Mitchell Corners residents were not in support of sidewalk and sewer request and that they wanted the road and ditches to remain as they currently are. A public information centre was proposed to solicit input from the greater community as a whole. 2.2 Description of the Community Mitchell Corners is a hamlet located north of Courtice. The community predominantly surrounds Taunton Road east and west of Trulls Road and Trulls Road, south of Taunton Rd (Regional Road 4) and includes three cul-de-sacs off of Trulls Road; Tyler Street, Bradley Boulevard, and Firner Street. Taunton Road is classified as a Type "A"Arterial in the Official Plan. All other roads in the community are classified as Local Roads with posted speed limits of 50 km/h. Although Trulls Road is classified as a local road it is evident by the traffic trends that it is functioning more and more as an arterial road. 9-3 REPORT NO.: EGD-028-11 PAGE 4 There are approximately 170 properties within the community, most of which are single family residential. There are a few businesses on Taunton Road including a coffee shop and a gas station with a convenience store and there is a church on Trulls Road just south of Taunton Road at the location of a former elementary school. 2.3 Traffic . There have been a number of traffic counts performed on Trulls Road over the years and the volume of traffic has been increasing. The Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) is tabulated below.. Year AADT 1994 2,400 2002 2,715 2005 2,814 2007 3,158 2011 3,331 It is likely that traffic will increase further as a result of a number of proposed changes to the surrounding road network. The Highway 407 extension will include an interchange at Enfield Road (Regional Road 34) between Taunton Road and Concession Road 6. Enfield Rd is the extension of Trulls Road north of Taunton Road. The provincial government has now committed to completion of the 407 extension to Hwy. 35/115 by the year 2020. Detailed design for the first phase of construction to Harmony Road is underway. Clarington staff are currently in the process of dealing with the province in order to address concerns the Municipality has with the impacts of the extension on our existing road network. One of these concerns is the impact on Trulls Road. 9-4 REPORT NO.: EGD-028-11 PAGE 5 Other plans include extension of Adelaide Avenue to Trulls Road and the extension of Rossland Road from just east of Harmony Road to Townline Road. A pedestrian count was performed on Trulls Road on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 over the span of 5 hours from 2 pm to 7 pm. There were 31 pedestrians observed walking on the shoulder of the road, including 7 teens and 3 youths. There were an additional 3 teens and 11 youths that were dropped off from the school bus directly in front of their home, or at the side streets and did not walk down the road. This compares to the peak pedestrian traffic count of 50 which was observed in 1994 when Mitchell Corners Public School was still in service. Traffic speeds have also been recorded on Trulls Road and show that speeds are consistently higher than the posted speed of 50 km/hr. The results are tabulated below: Date'" Average 85 . (Y/M/D) Speed Percentile (km/h)-, Speed (km/h) 06/07/06 65.1 69.9 07/10/29 58.1 63.3 08/06/24 58.8 63.5 09/07%07 64.4 68.5 10/06/28 59.9 66.7 10/09/29 54.9 60.3 10/09/29 58.5 62.9 11/06/28 66.6 72.6 Average 60.8 66.0 9-5 REPORT NO.: EGD-028-11 PAGE 6 2.4 Drainage Mitchell Corners is drained by a combination of storm sewers and open ditches. The side streets on the east side, Tyler Street and Bradley Boulevard have storm sewers that outlet to open ditches on Trulls Road. Trulls Road and Firner Street are drained by open ditches. The ditches on Trulls Road drain to existing two watercourses, one just south of Taunton Road and the other to the valley roughly 275m south of Firner Street. 2.5 Previous Improvements In 2007, the Municipality constructed a drainage channel on the west side of Trulls Road north of Firner Street to address complaints from a number of residents on Firner Street. The work was done to reduce existing flooding in the back yards of the houses on the north side of Firner Street. The channel outlets to the existing watercourse west of Mitchell Corners running through agricultural lands. In 2007, the Municipality also rehabilitated Trulls Road through Mitchell Corners which included localized repairs, new surface asphalt, and some ditching including placing rip-rap to prevent erosion where required. 2.5.1 Bradley Boulevard and Tyler Street Improvements In 1987, the Municipality constructed storm sewers and asphalt gutters on Bradley Boulevard and Tyler Street and filled in the ditches. Local residents said that the improvements were the result of concerns raised by the local residents to address concerns with the number of children that had to walk to the school and due to heavy farm traffic accessing the farm at the east end of the community. 2.5.2 Similar Projects in Enniskillen and Newtonville There have been similar situations where residents have requested that the Municipality construct sidewalks in rural hamlets to address safety 9-6 REPORT NO.: EGD-028-11 PAGE 7 concerns. It is not typically the Municipality's policy to urbanize rural hamlets unless there is a specific need identified. In 2004, the Municipality constructed sidewalk in Enniskillen on Old Scugog Road to provide safe access to the public school on Old Scugog Road. A similar project was also completed in Newtonville to improve safety accessing the school. 3.0 PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE 3.1 Plan to Address Concerns It was determined that the best way to move forward with confirming the residents' concerns and reviewing possibilities to address those concerns was to have a Public Information Centre (PIC) to present some alternative solutions and gather feedback from the residents. The concerns would then be presented to Council with preliminary solutions for consideration. 3.2 Summary of PIC The PIC was held on Thursday, May 19, 2011 from 5 pm to 7 pm at the Carriage Country Baptist Church. The meeting was very well attended with approximately 70 people in attendance, most of whom stayed for the full two hours. There was a register for people to sign and comment sheets that could be filled out at the meeting, or mailed in to the Municipality afterwards. There were 27 written comments received. The register and comments submitted are available upon request (35 pages). Staff attended the meeting to receive comments and answer questions. There were a number of display boards set up showing possible alternative solutions to address the concerns that the Municipality had received regarding pedestrian safety and maintenance of the ditches, including the pros and cons of each alternative and a rough cost estimate. Due to the number of people in attendance, an informal question and answer session was conducted so that 9-7 REPORT NO.: EGD-028-11 PAGE 8 everyone in attendance could participate in the discussions and hear answers to their questions. 3.3 List of Concerns Raised There were many people that expressed their concerns at the meeting or through written comments. Many people expressed concern about pedestrian safety, general traffic safety, and the difficulty with maintaining the steep ditches. Others were concerned that any changes would compromise the rural feel of the neighbourhood that many stated was the reason they moved to the area. The main concerns and the number of times each issue was raised in the written comments are tabulated below. Comment/Concern` Number of .

The guide posts on the south side of the hill are in disrepair. • There were a few residents that said they moved to a rural community and do not want the kind of improvements that their neighbours were requesting. • Some residents noted that they do not want sidewalks due to the requirement for snow clearing in the winter and issues with privacy. • Some residents wanted improvements to Firner Street as well as Trulls Road, and some noted that there were other priorities that the Municipality should address first such as Pebblestone Road. It was noted that the garbage trucks are required to back down Firner Street as there is no turn around at the west end. • One resident noted that there is substantial through traffic that uses Trulls Road because it has a signalized intersection at Taunton Road whereas the intersection between the two Regional roads, Taunton Road and Courtice Road is not signalized and northbound left turns are difficult. • A few residents said that they want municipal water brought up from Courtice. It was noted at the meeting that Mitchell Corners is within the "Protected Countryside" area under the Greenbelt Plan, and it is unlikely that the urban boundary would be expanded to include Mitchell Corners. • Many residents are concerned about the increases in traffic that have happened over the years and the anticipated changes that will cause even more traffic in the future. • It was noted that there are less children in the community than there were in past years, however there are still a number of children that catch the school bus off of Trulls Road. 9-9 REPORT NO.: EGD-028-11 PAGE 10 4.0 SOLUTIONS 4.1 Alternative Solutions Presented at the PIC Municipal staff, working with AECOM, prepared a number of possible solutions to present at the PIC for review and comment from the residents. The solutions ranged in cost and impact on the community and were designed to address the main concerns that led to the PIC, which were pedestrian safety and drainage improvements. The designs were preliminary and were presented in the form of a before and after visualization with a brief description and pros cons for each. The list of options presented at the PIC is listed below with a brief description. The pros and cons tables presented at the PIC are appended to this report. Alt.

There was mixed feedback from the residents as to which, if any, alternative would best address their concerns. Some people noted that the full reconstruction options are very expensive, however many people also wanted the sight lines at the south end improved, which would require a significant drop in the road to address the concern. In order to eliminate the ditches, the road would have to be lowered to provide drainage from the adjacent properties. Alternatively a shallow swale system with ditch inlets could be used in areas where drainage to the road is not possible. Similarly, many people said that they would prefer the bikeway over sidewalks, however that solution would steepen the ditches unless a storm sewer system were also constructed or the ditches were reconstructed further back from the road. It is worth noting that a wider road platform typically leads to higher traffic speeds. It is possible that a hybrid solution could be developed to address many of the concerns, and the cost would likely be somewhere between the cost of the partial urbanization and the full reconstruction options. This would not, however, satisfy the residents who are concerned about the costs 9-11 REPORT NO.: EGD-028-11 PAGE 12 associated with the project, or those who would prefer that no improvements were made. 4.3 Firner Street— Request to Fill Ditches and Provide a Storm System Post PIC staff was requested by Council to provide a cost estimate to fill in the ditches on Firner Street. Description Cosh Fill in Ditches (similar to Tyler and Bradley Streets) • Construction of new storm sewer, storm outfall, asphalt gutter, and restoration of surface features. Total Cost—Trulls Road to West Limit $320,000 Typically unless there are operational or safety issues related to the rural cross section in hamlet areas the filling of ditches and installation of storm sewers is not considered. 4.4 Firner Street— Turn Around One of the issues raised at the PIC that was of concern to staff was the lack of a turnaround or cul-de-sac at the west limit of Firner Street. The lack of an adequate turnaround requires Garbage and Recycling vehicles to back either down or up the street to complete weekly pickup. Although not discussed at the PIC a solution to this would be to provide a turnaround at the south end of the street which would require the cooperation of the adjacent land owner west of Firner Street. An estimate of cost to complete the construction and associated works would be $60,000 for a cul-de-sac that meets our current Municipal standard or$25,000 for a modified turnaround similar to what exists on Bradley and Tyler Streets. 9-12 REPORT NO.: EGD-028-11 PAGE 13 5.0 CONCLUSIONS 5.1 Short List of Alternative Solutions Based on the feedback from residents at the PIC, there was not a clear choice from the alternatives presented that would best suit the community's needs. There were some specific deficiencies noted that could be addressed in isolation such as constructing a turn-around at the west end of Firner Street for the garbage trucks and replacing the guide posts at the south end of the community with a new steel beam guide rail system. There may be measures that the Municipality can take to eliminate one of the root problems of increased traffic such as encouraging the Region of Durham to make improvements to the Regional road system in the area which could reduce the amount of through traffic in the community. A hybrid solution using bikeways and a storm sewer system with full excavation in some areas could be developed. The limits of work would need to be defined. The cost estimates were developed on a cost per linear metre basis because it was not clear going into the PIC if the concerns were related to a specific area or throughout the community. Based on the feedback from residents, it seems that the problems are throughout the community including Firner Street as well as concerns about safety on the hill south of Mitchell Corners. In order to give an order of magnitude costs were extended to two possible termination locations on Trulls Road ranging from value from just under $300,000 to just over $2,700,000. The possible solutions that seem to suit the community's needs best are: 1 . Address high priority areas only 2. Hybrid solution including bikeways and storm sewer system The costs associated with these will vary greatly depending on the limits of the work and scope of improvements that are selected. Considering the future 407 extension and possible impacts on Trulls Road and based on the existing topography it is suggested that it is premature to decide on 9-13 REPORT NO.: EGD-028-11 PAGE 14 a preferred solution until such time that discussions with the province dealing with concerns of the 407 extension impacts are completed.

Director of Finance ASC/RA/jo July 11, 2011 9-22 REPORT NO.: EGD-030-11 PAGE 3 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 The nature of this report is to provide an update to the Mill Street Pedestrian Tunnel project as it relates to scheduling, costs and funding. The debenture for this project as referenced in FND-003-11 (2011 Current and Capital Budget) has long been identified to be financed through a debenture issuance. The debenture will be repaid through Development Charges collections in future years. 1.2 Since there have been residential development interests in the "Port of Newcastle" dating back to 1988 the Municipality of Clarington has identified the need for improvements at the existing grade separation for the Canadian National Railway over Mill Street between Clarke Street and Toronto Street. Over the course of the.past 23 years the project has evolved from a full 4 lane grade separation to the hybrid solution we are proposing now with a separate pedestrian/cyclist tunnel and reconstruction of Mill Street from Toronto Street to Clarke Street. Even the recommended solution for the pedestrian tunnel has evolved from constructing the tunnel under live train traffic, to an innovative pipe pile system to the open cut method that is now proposed. 1.3 Last year the work for the pedestrian tunnel was tendered and came in at over $7,000,000, well over the estimated costs, and with only one bid submission. The post tender review revealed that due to the unique nature of the work and the ongoing work loads (Infrastructure Stimulus funded projects) of the contractors specialized in this work many of the contractors did not have time to take on the work. 1.4 Efforts have since been made to establish an alternative feasible design option that supports CN guidelines and requirements for the project as well as environmental requirements that were originally established in the Mill Street Environmental Study Report (ESR). Through this process there was a change in CN's stance on not being able to close any of the tracks during construction and 9-23 REPORT NO.: EGD-030-11 PAGE 4 they were now willing to consider track closures and an open cut method for construction of a precast concrete pedestrian tunnel. 1.5 Due to complex construction requirements and the limited availability of dedicated CN staff it was decided that it would be in the best interests of the Municipality to have CN manage the pedestrian tunnel project and the Municipality would manage the reconstruction of Mill Street and the two would coordinate any overlap between the projects. Having CN manage the project would ensure they have the necessary staff available to complete the project and would also reduce the Municipality's exposure to risk associated with working on and around a high speed high volume railway. 2.0 PROPOSED APPROACH 2.1 The Open Cut Trench Method has been used extensively recently along the lakeshore area by both CN and Go Transit in order to improve pedestrian and cyclist access under their railways. The final stages of the work is completed over the course of a long weekend and involves the following: • Closure of Mill Street to through traffic from roughly October 6, 2011 to October 12, 2011 • Closure of the north track to train traffic • Removal of the tracks, installation of soil support system and excavation of the area to receive the precast concrete tunnel sections • Preparation of the foundation • The half of the precast sections which will have been assembled beside the tracks prior to the track closure are then pushed into place • The excavation is then filled in, compacted and tracks reinstalled and ready for traffic. • The process is repeated on the south side 9-24 REPORT NO.: EGD-030-11 PAGE 5 ® Retaining walls are then installed at both ends 2.2 Although the installation is completed in a relatively short time there is roughly two to three months of preparation work that has to occur to allow for the quick installation of the tunnel. This work involves preparing the track surface to allow for the necessary construction equipment to have quick and easy access to the area through the installation of approach ramps on the north and south side of the tracks and providing a working platform on the tracks. 2.3 In order for this work to move forward the contractor completing the reconstruction of Mill Street under Contract CL2011-21 will need to halt work for roughly a 2 month duration. Once the pedestrian tunnel work is complete the contractor for CL2011-21 would remobilize and complete the recreational trail connections to the tunnel and final restoration in the area. Contract CL2011-21 has been structured to allow for this remobilization to occur. 2.4 Based on scheduling provided by CN they would commence preparation work in mid August 2011, complete the installation of the tunnel and associate works from October 7, 2011 to October 11, 2011 and would have the clean up work completed by mid November 2011. All works associated with both the pedestrian tunnel and road reconstruction would be completed by December of 2011. 2.5 CN has provide the Municipality with a cost estimate of$4,1.00,000 to complete the tunnel work which includes for final design, construction, contract administration, contingencies and net HST. 2.6 As part of the pedestrian tunnel project, CN will tender the majority of the tunnel supply and installation work, and award of the work will be subject to the review and approval of the Municipality's Director.of Engineering Services in order to ensure the Municipality is in agreement with the actual tendered costs. 9-25 REPORT NO.: EGD-030-11 PAGE 6 3.0 BENEFITS TO PROPOSED APPROACH 3.1 The Open Cut method constructed by CN offers significant benefits for construction of the Mill Street Pedestrian tunnel than other the other methods considered, including the following: • The need for pile-driving or augering during very restricted CN-imposed construction windows (late night/ early morning weekend hours) is eliminated and, as such, all works can be completed during regular industry-established day-time construction schedules and daylight hours, except for the rail closure over the Thanksgiving long weekend, eliminating this very disruptive disturbance to the public during the weekends. • The contractor will not be subject to costly delays due to potential interruptions and CN rail traffic requirements. • The cost of hiring CN Flagmen, who are currently in short supply and available only on a restricted basis, is reduced. • Overall construction period for tunnel installation will be shortened by an estimated 90%, representing approximately 4 days compared to the 8 weeks associated with the temporary support of live train traffic method. 4.0 PROJECT FINANCING 4.1 As indicated in Report FDN-003-11, this project has been identified to be debentured with 100% of the project to be funded from the Roads and Related Development Charges component. 4.2 Through a previous agreement with CN they will contribute $300,000 towards the project. 4.3 A debenture of$3,800,000.00 over a 15 year period based on an interest rate of 5% has estimated annual repayments of$400,000.00 with 100% funding from the development charges. The exact amount of the repayment would be 9-26 REPORT NO.: EGD-030-11 PAGE 7 determined at the time of the debenture,issuance by the Region of Durham. A follow up report will be brought back to Council in September of 2011 outlining the exact debenture needs based on CN's tendering process over the summer. 5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1 Upon careful consideration of available options, scheduling commitments, CN- imposed construction limitations, and in an effort to proactively manage public expectation, Municipal staff recommends that CN be requested to complete the construction of the Pedestrian Tunnel by open cut method based on the above noted financing arrangements.

Foster and Members of Council: r, The information contained in this report is a summary of the activities of Clarington Emergency and Fire Services for the year ending December 31, 2010. The number of incidents reported to the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office in 2010 was 3,274 a reduction of 1.5% from 2009. 2010 represents the third year in a row of declining call numbers. Fire responses in 2010 totaled 173, approximately 5.2% of the Department's total calls. Fire loss in 2010 is estimated $4,253,000 and civilian injuries in as a result of fire totaled 5. In 2010 Fire Prevention staff delivered to the head custodians of Clarington schools from the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic District School Board and Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board training outlining their responsibilities to fire safety planning in schools and developing a basic understanding of Ontario Fire Code requirements for schools. All accounts suggest this training was a success and our schools are safer from fire. The Ontario Fire Code requires every 'dwelling unit' in Ontario to have working smoke alarms on every level of the home and outside sleeping areas. The term `dwelling unit' includes seasonal homes such as park model trailers, cabins and cottages as well as trailer homes and motor homes. The 2010 the Alarm for Life Program visited 554 regular and seasonal dwelling units, providing residents with 14 smoke alarms and replacing 5 batteries. Emergency and Fire Services partnered with Durham Regional Police in delivering the RIDE program in Bowmanville and Courtice through December of 2010. The purpose of this partnership was to demonstrate that all emergency services personnel are watching motorist driving habits, DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE. The Emergency and Fire Services team is dedicated to making Clarington a "Fire Safe Community" by providing programs such as the Alarm for Life Program, Junior Firefighter Program and delivering service that promote a safe community. In closing, I ask you the Mayor and Council of Clarington to join our team and together be proactive in delivering all aspects of the Fire Protection and Prevention Act. Thank you.

This sequence of events is usually initiated by human acts (something which is done) or human omissions (something which has not been done). These acts or omissions are the cause of the fire because they trigger the events which lead to ignition of the fire. Determining fire cause is the foundation to reducing the loss of life and property as a result of fire. The graph below illustrates the Misuse of Ignition Source/Material Ignited caused a majority of fires in 2010. ry. ■ Intentional low Unintentional ■ Design/Construction/Maintenance Deficiency El Misuse of Ignition Source/Material Ignited ■ Mechanical/Electrical Failure A f Leading the Way 20 Fire Prevention • Education The duties of Fire Prevention staff include inspections arising from complaints, requests, retrofits, or self-initiated inspections in accordance with the Fire Protection and Prevention Act and Department policies.

Staff issued a total of 7 charges in 2010. Providing suppression staff with technical support and training in fire prevention disciplines enhances the knowledge of responders and provides for efficient and effective resolutions to emergency situations. Examining and investigating fire scenes and interviewing witnesses in an effort to determine cause and origin of fires and provide the foundation for public educational programs in Clarington is a key role of fire prevention staff. Of the 90 dollar loss fires, fire cause was determined in 71 cases, 19 fires remain undetermined.

The Occupational Health and Safety Act requires the Joint Health and Safety Committee provide the employer with an annual update if requested. This report also provides a summary of incidents and accidents that occurred in the workplace during 2010 to present. 2.0 2010 - 2011 HIGHLIGHTS 2.1 Review and Update of Corporate Health & Safety Policies Work has been progressing throughout the year to review and update all of the Corporate Health & Safety Policies. The update and review process will be complete before the end of this year. 2.2 Workwell Program The Workwell Committee from our very successful Workwell Audit from 2006 has been reassembled. Working meetings have begun and the group members are reviewing and updating each Section of the WSIB Workwell Health & Safety Audit. 2.3 Bill 168 — Harassment & Violence in the Workplace - Update On June 15, 2010, Bill 168 came into force, amending the Occupational Health & Safety Act imposing significant obligations for Ontario employers in respect to workplace violence, domestic violence and workplace harassment. In addition to measures mentioned in our last report to Council, we have followed up with a pay stub insertion summarizing the new legislation as it pertains to Workplace Violence and also completed a workplace poster campaign. We have completed the same type of insertion and poster campaign for workplace harassment and this was released the week of June 20tH 2.4 2010 NEER Statement Results Throughout the course of the year, the WSIB monitors the number of reported incidents and accidents. Employers are required to advise the WSIB for any injury that only requires medical aid and/or lost time. The cost value of these claims is reported back to the employer monthly in the form of a NEER statement. NEER is referred to as the New Experimental Experience Rating. The individual employer's performance is measured through the WSIB Performance Index utilizing the previous four (4) year injury history and are used in part to 14-2 REPORT NO.: COD-023-11 PAGE 3 assess the employer's annual premiums. A rating of 1.0 is neutral; above 1.0 requires addition premium surcharges to be paid by the employer; and a rating below 1.0, the employer receives a refund of premiums. These adjustments are in addition to the base rate group premium of$2.15 per $100.00 of earnings. Clarington has been in a refund situation for the past number of years with the exception of 2010. On April 28th, 2010 during suppression operations a volunteer fire fighter suffered a very serious knee injury. The damage to the knee was extensive and required surgery to repair. After a long road of rehabilitation, we are happy to report the Firefighter has recovered and returned to active duties on February 2, 2011 in his volunteer capacity. Refunds/Surcharges for the past 4 years are as listed: Year Performance Index Refund or (Surcharge) 2010 2.03 Estimate from WSIB March 2011 Statement ($99,013.94) 2009 0.19 $70,221.95 2008 0.06 $32,551.83 2007 0.52 $64,252.15 *This surcharge is a WSIB estimate only at this time. The final figure will not be available until the September cost statement arrives from WSIB. 3.0 EARLY and SAFE RETURN TO WORK PROGRAM 3.1 In order to reduce lost earnings costs to the above noted NEER program, the WSIB encourages all employers to develop an Early and Safe Return to Work program. The purpose of this program is for the employer to work with the injured employee to return to work as soon as possible after experiencing a work- related injury. 3.2 In most cases, employees who experience a work-related injury return to work within 24 hours and do not incur lost wages. However, in more serious injuries, employees may not be able to perform their normal duties. In the past, those employees would have remained off work until they were able to return to full duties. The Early and Safe Return to Work Program allows the employer to offer 14-3 REPORT NO.: COD-023-11 PAGE 4 the employee alternate duties that would be meaningful to the employer, and not cause any further injury to the employee. By doing so, the employee returns to work earlier than they normally may; the employee does not collect WSIB payment for lost wages and the employer does not incur increased WSIB premiums. 4.0 ACTIVITES 4.1 The Joint Health and Safety Committee (JH&SC) is co-chaired by Municipal staff representing both management and workers within the Municipality. The Health & Safety Coordinator now occupies the management co-chair position ongoing. The committee represents management workers, Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 74 (both Inside and Outside Workers) as well as the Clarington Fire Fighters Association Local 3139. 4.2 The committee consists of 16 members (members list attached) plus 15 alternate members who attend meetings in the absence of a JH&SC Member; and, assist with monthly facility inspections. (Attachment#1) 4.3 The municipal JH&SC members meet every month with the exception of July and August. All minutes are retained within statutory limits and current minutes are posted for all staff on the Health and Safety Boards located at every workplace within the Municipality. A typical agenda may include: • Agenda Review • Introduction of Guests • Department Head Presentation • Approval of Previous Minutes • Business Arising from Minutes • Review of Previous Month Workplace Inspections • Current Workplace Inspections • Accident/ Injury Statistics Review • Update from Emergency Services • Update from Health & Safety Coordinator • Other Business • Workplace Inspection Assignments 4.4 The JH&SC members also conduct monthly inspections of Municipal workplaces. On a monthly basis, there are at least fourteen inspections carried out by the JH&SC. The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OH&SA) states that all facilities must be inspected monthly; and where it is not practical to for a 14-4 REPORT NO.: COD-023-11 PAGE 5 complete inspection, at least part of the facility must be inspected. In addition the requirement to inspect municipal work sites, all other municipally owned facilities (Board operated community centres) are inspected 'at least once per year. Inspection forms are also retained and the current forms posted on the JH&SC Boards for staff information. 5.0 INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS 5.1 Incidents and accidents are tracked and reported on a monthly basis to the Health & Safety Committee. The statistics are used to identify trends and opportunities for training.

We believe that this is critical to the success of our business and our goal is zero incidents of injury, illness or damages. We believe an accident free workplace is possible. The Health and Safety of our employees is of the utmost importance in all of our operations, and is a shared responsibility, which must be accepted by everyone in our workplace. A successful safety program and a safe workplace depends on concern and commitment from all personnel. The responsibility for Health & Safety ultimately rests with senior management, but managers and supervisors at all levels will be held accountable for the safety performance of their employees. However, all employees have the responsibility of working safely and protecting the lives and health of themselves and their fellow workers. Being alert to unsafe conditions or practices, looking out for fellow employees and reminding them when they do something unsafe, as well as reporting unsafe conditions is imperative, if we are to achieve our goal. In support of these beliefs, we must accept our responsibilities to minimize risk and injuries to our fellow workers, the public we proudly serve, and to ourselves. Health & Safety must be in our thoughts 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We must meet, and wherever possible'exceed, the requirements of all applicable health and safety legislation/regulation, our own standards and work procedures, along with applicable industry standards. Contractors will be held accountable for all infractions of their workers. Contractors and their workers who do not follow the Health & Safety program of the Municipality of Clarington will be asked to leave the work site.

("AECOM") and offers the following comments. Since there have been residential development interests in the "Port of Newcastle" dating back to 1988 the Municipality of Clarington has identified the need for improvements at the existing grade separation for the Canadian National Railway over Mill Street between Clarke Street and Toronto Street (see attached map). Initially it was envisioned that a four lane road and associated bridge structure would be required to accommodate this development but after completion of the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) and through a subsequent safety audit it was determined that minor geometric improvements and urbanization of the road along with the construction of a separate pedestrian/bicycle tunnel beside the existing grade separation provided the best solution to address the safety issues at the structure. The construction of the pedestrian tunnel will be dealt with in a separate Engineering Services Report, EGD-30-11. Prior to completing the design and tendering the work for Mill Street, a number of Public Information Centres were held dating back to 2001 through the EA process to review the various options. The most recent meeting was held with the public in March of 2007 where the recommended pedestrian tunnel and Mill Street urbanization including geometric improvements were presented. Results of this process were presented to Council through report EGD-34-07. Generally the feedback was positive regarding the proposal as most of the issues raised through the consultation process were addressed with the preferred design alternative chosen. The main concern of pedestrian safety will be addressed with the construction of the recreational trail on the west side of Mill Street including the future construction of a separate pedestrian tunnel which the Municipality of Clarington is working in cooperation with the Canadian National Railway to have completed fall pending Council approval. Upon completion of the works Mill Street the street will be reconstructed to a urban standard with curb and gutter, storm sewers, asphalt pavement, street lighting and streetscape enhancements. In order to facilitate the recreational trail works, pedestrian tunnel works and staging area for both the road and tunnel works the Municipality of Clarington has worked with the land owners at the southwest, northwest and northeast quadrants of the grade separation to allow temporary access as necessary to complete the work and have agreed to provide 14-12 SCHEDULE"A" Mill Street Reconstruction, CL2011-21 2 June 29, 20'11 compensation for this assistance through the restoration of the disturbed areas with landscaping (trees, shrubs and sod), regrading and tax relief for one year (northeast quadrant landowner only). As the full extent of the disturbance won't be known until completion of the work an estimated amount of $10,000 has been carried as part of the project costs. This should more than enough to account for any restoration on private lands and to deal with the tax relief which amounts to $634.25. With the cooperation of these land owners the project can proceed without added costs or delay that might be associated with measures used to avoid encroaching onto private properties. We concur with AECOM's recommendation to award the contract to Kawartha Construction Limited in the amount of $621,833.67, exclusive of HST, or $632,777.94 net HST, for the reconstruction of Mill Street. A detailed breakdown of Clarington's project costs is provided within AECOM's tender review letter. Due to past experiences on similar projects, a contingency amount of approximately 10% is carried forward. Therefore, including landowner compensation, tender amount and contract administration fees, the Engineering Department advises the following breakdown for the above referenced project: Project Breakdown Total Project Value $772,000 Budget Amount Mill Street 110-32-330-83362-7401 $900,000 Estimated Unexpended Budget $128,000 Additional Funding Required $0 We recommend the report to Council move forward based on the above available 2011 Capital Budget funding.

Improving communication with our residents has always been a priority with the Municipality for many years. This emphasis was reinforced in the recently approved Strategic Plan where "Connecting Clarington" was identified as one of the key six Strategic Priorities of the Municipality. 2. "Connecting Clarington" contains two major goals, one of which is to improve communication through a comprehensive communication strategy that would explore and utilize all available communication tools. This would include evaluating, prioritizing, and selecting the communication tools based on their effectiveness and cost efficiency. 3. The use of printed material is one of the communication tools used extensively by the Municipality in the past through "Page 2" advertisement in the local newspaper and through publishing quarterly our own municipal newsletter, the "Clarington.net". Both of these printed communication tools carry significant cost. As a result, previous Council has limited the use of"Page 2" primarily for statutory municipal notices only. In addition, "Clarington.net" has been discontinued through the budget deliberation earlier this year. 4. In order to implement the objective in the Strategic Plan without impacting the budget, senior staff began to explore other ways to provide printed information to the residents. The result was the initiation of a pilot communication project which would consist of an "eight page insert" in the Community Services Department Community/Recreation Guide. This eight page insert is intended to replace the information otherwise that would have been included in the previous publication "Clarington.net". Our first eight page insert will appear in the fall issue of the Community Guide scheduled for household distribution in late August/early September. Being our first issue, we will focus the information on the status of various municipal projects and undertakings as well as reporting on the accomplishments the Municipality has achieved this year. 17-2 REPORT NO.: CAO-007-11 PAGE 3 5. Apart from the staff time involved, the printing cost of preparing this eight page insert is minimal and can be recovered through a few additional advertisements in the Guide. Staff is of the opinion,that this is probably the most cost effective and efficient way to communicate with the residents and it is worthwhile to move forward with this project on a trial basis. 17-3 Leading the Way REPORT CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE Meeting: GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE Date: Monday July 11, 2011 Resolution#: By-law#: N/A Report#: CAO-008-11 File#: ` Subject: ENERGY MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE — SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended to the General Purpose and Administration Committee that Council approves the following: 1. THAT Report CAO-008-11 be received; 2. THAT the requirement for formal competitive bidding in accordance with By-law 2010- 112, Part 2 be waived for this initiative; and 3.

Submitted by: Franklin Wu Chief Administrative Officer CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T(905)623-3379 F (905)623-0720 17-4 REPORT NO.: CAO-008-11 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 Since the formation of the Energy Management Committee the members have been keeping informed on various energy conservation programs. Of particular interest in the last 12 months has been the Ontario Power Authority's (OPA) Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) Program. 1.2 In recent months staff has received many unsolicited calls from firms providing information on the program, specifically the roof mounted solar panel option and seeking interest from the municipality to proceed with an application for a project. Options for building owners include the outright purchase of equipment, financing the purchase of equipment and leasing rooftops to the contractors. To date staff have been in the information gathering mode and have advised all firms that if we are to proceed it will be through a public procurement process. 1.3 The municipality owns a number of larger buildings that would potentially be suitable locations for mid- sized roof mounted solar panels. Based on preliminary research it is feasible to consider solar panel projects in the area of 100kW. 1.4 At a recent Energy Management Committee meeting a representative from the Renewable Energy Facilitation Office of the Ontario Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure provided an overview of the FIT Program. The representative indicated a number of GTA municipalities have received approvals to proceed with solar PV projects and many others are in various stages of the process. 2.0 PROGRAM 2.1 On May 14, 2009 The Green Energy and Green Economy Act was passed into law. The goals of this legislation included making Ontario a renewable energy leader; encouraging investment and job creation and fostering a culture of conservation. In October of this same year the OPA began accepting applications under the FIT program. 1.7-5 REPORT NO.: CAO-008-11 PAGE 3 2.2 The FIT Program was developed to encourage the development of small scale renewable energy projects across the province. The program is based on the generation, transmission and distribution of energy into the provinces' energy supply system. A number of renewable energy sources are covered under the program including biomass, landfill gas, biogas, onshore wind, water power,and solar photovoltaic. 2.3 Within the FIT Program there are three categories based on size of renewable energy project; small 10kW or below (MicroFIT); mid-sized 10kW— 500kW; and large scale over 500kW. 2.4 Subject to all necessary approvals the OPA will enter into a 20 year contract for a fixed price for the electricity the project generates. The price is based on the type of energy produced and the size of the project. In general the contracts are structured to provide adequate guaranteed revenues to cover the capital and operating costs associated with the project as well providing the building owner a reasonable return on the initial investment. Based on information staff has received most installations are expected to recover the capital costs within the first ten years of the contract. 2.5 Based on a roof top solar panel project sized at 100kW the contract price ($/kWh) is $0.713 per kWh. Ministry staff has advised the FIT program will undergo a review during 2011 with the possibility of adjusted contract pricing. 3.0 COMMENT 3.1 To date there has been no detailed discussion on the financing of this program. Subject to the responses from the Expression of Interest (EOI) a detailed cost analysis will be required if it is recommended to proceed with this program. 3.2 Prior to proceeding with a roof mounted PV system a structural adequacy will be required on all buildings being considered and those costs will be factored into the financial calculations. 17-6 REPORT NO.: CAO-008-11 PAGE 4 3.3 It is the intention of this EOI to generate adequate response from the renewable energy community that will assist the municipality to make a fully informed decision on the FIT program. 4.0 INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES 4.1 The Manager of Purchasing has been consulted during the preparation of this report and upon approval will coordinate the Expression of Interest and any subsequent negotiations. 4.2 Staff will report on the results of the request for the EOI in the fall and will be advising Council whether or not the municipality should participate in the FIT program. 17-7 APE • is' Unfinished Business Leading the Way RtFowm-� T OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT Meeting: GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE Date: June 27, 2011 Report#: OPD-006-11 File #: By-Law#: Subject: COMMUNITY GARDENS Recommendations: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1.

OPD-006-11 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND AND COMMENT 1.1 At the Council meeting held on October 4, 2010, Mrs. Leetooze addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item D-5 (Attachment No. 1) requesting the Municipality provide land for a Community Garden. The correspondence Item D- 5 was referred to staff and the Clarington Agricultural Advisory Committee. The Planning Department commented that the Clarington Agricultural Advisory Committee was not appropriate to deal with the item. The role of the Agricultural Advisory Committee is to comment on policy and agri-business, not municipal lands or recreational programs. Operations staff met with Mrs. Leetooze on several occasions to discuss her ideas and to come up with possible locations and recommendations. Several municipal locations were discussed and a short list of possibilities were developed, which are listed in Section 5.0. Preferable sites were considered mainly for their proximity to residents of Clarington and local transit. Site requirements such as site preparation, fencing, off street parking and water access also were discussed. 1.2 Community gardens on public land have become a popular alternative for urban dwellers that don't have access to the type of gardening space readily available in the countryside or private backyard. Community gardens are parcels of public land that are sub-divided into smaller plots for local residents to grow their own vegetables, fruit or flowers for personal use. 1.3 Community gardens provide residents with the opportunity to become engaged in a healthy recreational activity while growing nutritious food, meeting other residents, and beautifying open spaces. 2.0 PROCESS 2.1 The Operations Department supports the development of Community Gardens. The Municipality will promote and raise awareness of a Community Garden through the municipal website (www.clarington.net), and a public information meeting. The public meeting will provide residents an opportunity to come 18-2 REPORT NO. OPD-006-11 PAGE 3 forward as a Garden Collective or to form a Garden Collective. A Garden Collective which is defined as a not for profit community organization or a group of organized individuals that have come together for the purpose of operating a Community Garden. 2.2 The Municipality will assist in the initial year of establishment of a Community Garden by preparing the ground, which may include removal of the existing ground cover, plowing, and/or rototilling. The Garden Collective will then be responsible for all Community Garden activities and related enhancements. 3.0 MUNICIPAL REQUIREMENTS 3.1 The following terms would be incorporated into an agreement with the Garden Collective: • The garden is expected to be developed and maintained at no direct cost to the Municipality. • The garden will have minimal impact on municipal resources • No chemical pesticides will be allowed. • Produce grown shall be for personal consumption/use and not for private profit. • The Collective will provide proof and maintain at least $5,000,000 liability insurance, which includes the Municipality as an additional insured under the Collective's policy, with respect to any liability arising out of the Community Garden. • The Collective will provide a hold harmless/indemnification agreement signed in favour of the Municipality. • The Collective will provide and keep current contact information for the Co- ordinator and/ or Executive and active members of the Collective. • The Collective will agree to the terms and execute a lease agreement with the Municipality (Attachment No. 2). 18-3 REPORT NO. OPD-006-11 PAGE 4 4.0 COMMUNITY GARDEN COLLECTIVE GUIDELINES 4.1 The Community Garden Collective will be responsible for establishing guidelines for the "Plotholder", these may include: • Creating and enforcing general rules for the allotments. • Fair process for the allocation of plots. • Fair process to set rates for allotments. • Develop a budget and raise funds for initial improvements. 5.0 PROPOSED SITES 5.1 The following are municipal sites that were considered and their attributes: 1) 1150 Haines Street, Bowmanville • Considered the most preferred site. • Southern section measuring approx 1.3 hectares. • Will accommodate approx. 500 Plotholders. • Will require an off street parking lot to be established by the Municipality, and will be added to 2012 budget at a cost of approximately $9000.00 • No access to water. • Will require fencing. 2) 181 Liberty Street South, Tourist Information Bureau, Bowmanville • Rear section of lot measuring approx .5 hectares. • Will accommodate approx. 100 Plotholders. • Off street parking available. • Has access to water. • Will require fencing. 3) 285 West Beach Road, Bowmanville Boat Launch, northeast section • Section located under Hydro towers measuring approx .7 hectares. • Will accommodate approx. 175 Plotholders. • Off street parking available. • Has access to water. • Will require additional fencing. • This is to be considered for other recreational uses. 18-4 REPORT NO. OPD-006-11 PAGE 5 6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 Staff is recommending that the site at 1150 Haines Street be developed as a Community Garden. The site offers the largest area to accommodate Plotholders, and has the best soil conditions of the three sites. The financial impact of the development of this site will be minimal. Municipal staff will prepare the site in 2011 by plowing for the initial season, and develop an off road parking lot in 2012 once budget is approved. The Garden Collective will be responsible for ongoing maintenance and development which may include fencing and a water source. 6.2 A public information session will be held following Council approval to present the Community Garden Project, and to select an interim Collective Committee to proceed with the project. 7.0 ATTACHMENTS: Attachment No. 1 - Correspondence Item D-5 Attachment No. 2 - Proposed Lease Agreement Attachment No. 3 - Map of Proposed Location at 1150 Haines Street Attachment No. 4 - Map of Proposed Location at 181 Liberty Street South Attachment No. 5 - Map or Proposed Location at 285 West Beach Road Interested Parties: S.

I am an advocate of the 50 mile diet-or better yet,the 5 mile diet-or why not right here in our own community-with back yard gardens. Many of us in Bowmanville do not have backyards,or backyards that are too small to put in a garden of any size.A couple of tomato plants in a planter on a patio or apartment balcony is a start,but it just doesn't constitute growing your own food. An allotment scheme would benefit many families. Now that Canadians from coast to coast are trying to find ways to "green"our communities and to decrease our footprint on the earth, it is a wise council who can provide such a program to their citizens. More and more,with the disappearance of Ontario's food production land(councils across Ontario you folks included-are allowing it to be used for residential and industrial purposes)we have had to rely on other countries to provide us with food. Nearly everything in our super markets comes from somewhere else these days. Think how much fuel it has taken to get it here! Understand that many of these countries drench their crops with poisons! We have to rely on our own initiative to supply ourselves with our own food that is healthier and fi-esher than anything we can buy. We are blessed,here in Clarington,to have some very good "pick your own"farms, and vegetable markets on our doorstep.But let's not sit back and say the problem has been looked after.It hasn't. We need to do more. That is why I am requesting that council provide garden allotment space throughout the community for those who wish to be more or less self sufficient.I would like to start using an allotment as soon as I can - as soon as you can find a spot on municipally owned land in a central place in Bowmanville. It would also be my pleasure to sit down with the appropriate department and assist in formatting the responsibilities and management policies for these allotments-such as what can be allowed on these properties(usage,structures,etc);any existing bylaws or bylaws needed to protect those(and their property) while using the allotments; etc. etc. I realize this is not just a matter of allowing vacant land to be used for gardening-there has to be a structure so that everyone can em this sort of opportunity. Britain has developed a very good"allotment"program within hei N M� and I think using their model would probably satisfy most Canadian co unities Mnelud' Clarington.

I was so shocked to hear that this was even being proposed that I waited until now to submit my opposition to the plan since I wanted the shock to wear off and respond in a clear-headed manner. I have lived at for almost 10 years. One of the reasons that I purchased my home in 2001 was because I was informed that the empty lot behind the townhouse was zoned for one level medical or dental office. Had I been informed that the lot had been zoned for an apartment building, I would not have made the purchase. If the proposed amendment and the four storey apartment building is allowed, this will change the neighbourhood significantly. We have a safe and relatively quiet area. The character of this single home residential area would change with the introduction of an apartment building. We have townhomes, bungalows and two storey homes,which offer a pleasant blend of residential options. An apartment building in this type of area does not fit with the plan of the subdivisions in this part of Courtice. If the proposal was for additional townhomes or single family dwellings, it would not cause the opposition that being voiced, since it would fit in with the existing neighbourhood. My street and area have become an increasingly busy and congested. The addition of 19 residential units and the vehicles that this would add to the area would only increase this impact. There are so many cars in the area, that 1 do not feel comfortable driving my bicycle in my neighborhood as it is, The thought of riding on Trulls Road makes me feel unsafe with the current traffic flow. The added traffic with this building would only increase this feeling. I think that the children in this area would be placed at risk when playing or biking with a further increase in vehicle traffic. Turning onto Trulls Road from either Strathallan or Sandringham has become more of a challenged due to the increased traffic flow over the years. The addition of the fire hall added noise and lights to this area, however this is an understandable and beneficial one. The safety value added and the necessity of a fire hall cannot be understated. However, the addition of a four storey apartment building directly behind my property would be an unacceptable change. There will be an increases in noise and lights that will directly impact my property and those of my neighbours, particularly those of us on the east side of Bushford Street. There will be a loss of sunlight as a four storey building will block the sun's rays from my back yard. There will be a loss of privacy as people from the upper floors will be able to look down into my back yard and through the windows in the back of my home. I firmly believe that the apartment building will decrease my property value significantly since it will completely change the feel of the back yard and the neighbourhood. The resulting decrease in property value may cause an exodus of the home-owners in this development and the resulting loss of property tax income to the Municipality of Clarington if the property values decline. I have come to feel that Courtice is my home, however the change to my neighbourhood would be unacceptable. Sincerely, i Ta for Scott, Anne From: Chris Foster _ Sent: July 8, 2011 5:37 AM To: Taylor Scott, Anne;john.otooleco@pc.ola.org ; Mayors Extema[MailGroup; Neal, Joe Cc: Chris Foster Subject: Four story apartment in courtice: Hello. I am a .resi.dent of courtice and live at I am just writing to voice my concerns about the proposed building in the vacant lot behind my house. I would have to say I am less than excited about the idea of a four story building being dropped in my backyard. There are a number of reasons for this. The most important to me is that I will be losing the privacy of my backyard an more than likely the a fair bitr of my natural sun light. This building will also be a huge eye sore for the neighbourhood as it will not fit in with the current design of our quiet residential community. With the increase in population density with that building, I foresee an increase in carbon emissions to our area aswell as noise and light pollution. These items do not seem favorable to me or other members of our community. Another item I would like to bring to your attention is that I was informed that the petition that was signed by our neighborhood will not be of any help to our cause and that everyone need respond individually. This seems a little unfair as not everyone has the means or time to do so. So please take our petition in to consideration at the meeting. As the stages of this proposed project progress, please keep me informed. Chris Foster. Sent from my BlackBerry® powered by Virgin Mobile. Taylor Scott, Anne From: Lee Kelly Sent: July 6, 2011 6:45 PM To: Taylor Scott, Anne Subject: Zoning Concern Trulls Rd. in Courtice (Municipallity of Clarington) Attachments: Courtice Zoning.doc Hello Ms. Taylor, Attached is a letter voicing my concern over the proposed zoning change on Trulls Rd. in Courtice. The meeting has been scheduled during the morning which makes it impossible for me to attend or request to be put on the agenda therefore; I am sending you my letter. Thank you for your time and attention. Sincerely, Lee Anne Kelly (and family) July 6, 2011 Dear Ms. Scott, I am taking this opportunity to express my dismay regarding zoning change to Trulls Rd. in Courtice, ON. The meeting to discuss this issue is very inconvenient for working people and hence I could not attend therefore; I am sending you this letter of concern. My husband and I purchased this detached two storey home years aL was only a few months old. We chose our house strategically. We wanted a quiet neighbourhood on a quiet side street that was close to elementary and high schools. We wanted to live on the side of the street with the sidewalk so we could watch our son play there and learn to ride his bike in safety, eta We didn't plan on moving from our residence....this is our forever home. I am very sad thinking that we will most likely put our house up for sale if I have to look at an apartment building each and every day. I'm worried though because I seriously doubt it will be easy to sell to a new family; who wants to look at the back of an apartment building? If we don't why would someone else? We are very proud of our home and love our neighbourhood. There is very little traffic, the people in our neighbourhood all seem to be house proud and take care of their yards and houses. Housing values have soared and this makes us happy too. It is simply unacceptable to look out my front door, bedroom windows and yard and seeing a four storey apartment building. We knew that land was commercially zoned and believed that one day a business of one sort or another (probably one storey high)would be there but not an eye sore like an apartment building. No matter how `pretty' the building is, frankly I don't want someone two storeys above me looking at me and I certainly don't want to see them. You can't build a fence high enough to hide an apartment building. Trees will never grow tall enough to hide it either. I have done some research regarding apartment buildings being built into residential areas that have only houses and town homes and I don't like what I've read. I learned that historically housing values will go down. People won't choose to move into my neighbourhood when they see an apartment building. Even a four storey building is tall. People who rent in apartment buildings are generally transient. They have no stake in their neighbourhoods. Land lords typically don't live in the buildings and if the people are lucky their land lord will ensure the property is maintained. What about the large and disgusting garbage and recycling bins. Yuck! I don't want that across the street from me. Talk about more eye sores and smell. Yuck! Where on earth axe all of these people going to park? I'll tell-you where....I bet all over flour parking will be on my street, in front of my house. This will cause havoc for my sons who love to play on the streets with the other children who live on our street (road hockey;basket ball, etc.) That is unacceptable. I'm sure there will also be a number of families with children in the proposed building. Those children will be going to the neighbourhood schools. I'll be honest to say that I'm not certain of how property taxes are paid by apartment building owners in the Municipality of Clarington but in some communities school taxes aren't paid by the renters and hence there is a strain on our public education systems. I don't begrudge any child a good education but I want to know that people are responsible for taxes just like I am. We love the little green belt that surrounds the `eat walk' that joins Trulls Rd. and Bushford St. together. The children use this as a means of getting to school mostly. We don't want to see that diminished in any way at all. I can only see that area being compromised in some fashion by the addition of an apartment building and people who have no investment in the neighbourhood. Courtice is simply not an apartment building community nor do we want it to be. Have this potential property owner move his idea to Oshawa where there are apartment buildings abound. Perhaps they/he/she would consider another strip of town homes; that would be acceptable. I am not suggesting we turn families away from our community but I want home owners and not apartment buildings with transient folks. The new"Official Plan Review" looks lovely but it can still be wonderful without apartment buildings going up in our neighbourhoods. . Like I said earlier, I chose my community very carefully. I don't want an apartment building in my neighbourhood. Please listen to our plea. Think of something like this going up in your own neighbourhood. I'm sure you wouldn't be thrilled either; if you had an opportunity to voice your concern. Thank you for your time and attention. Should you wish to contact me you can reach me by return email or by phone at Sincerely, Lee Anne Kelly Ta for Scott, Anne From Karen Sturge _ Sent: July 5, 2011 1:37 PM To: Taylor Scott, Anne Subject. 4 Storey Apartment Building on Trulls Road Hi Anne, My name is Karen, and my husband Rodney and I have that a 4 Storey Apartment Building might be build there. We have been living in this quiet area for almost 2 years, and we love it here. We dont have any plans to move yet, but if this development begins we dont know what were going to do. We dont think its a good idea to build an Apartment next to us. These are just a few Questions and Concerns so far., if the Planning Development begins, it will lower the value of our property and that wont be good especially for us, because we live beside the open area. -We dont have any Apartments in Courtice, why build one here and now? - If my husband and I knew that there was eventually going to build an Apartment beside our townhouse, we wouldnt of bought it. - We wouldnt have any privacy here? I have made a Petition and my neighbours in my area and around the corner has been signing it. My husband Rodney and I will be attending the meeting on Monday, July 11th.

Barrie- Clerk © OTHER MUNICIPAL CLERICS FILE Dear Sirs: RE: WESLEY AND MARGARET KNAPP-- application under Section 39 Of the Planning Act–permitted use–5105 Main Street, Orono, Ontario Please be advised that the writer is solicitor and representative for Wesley Knapp and Margaret Knapp. Wesley and Margaret Knapp,purchased certain real property at 5105 Main Street, Orono, Ontario on the 28"'day of February, 1979. 2 At the time of the purchase of the said real property, which is the principal residence of Wesley and Margaret Knapp, Wesley Knapp commenced conducting a small engine and small appliance repair business at his home. At the time, he understood the real property had been operated as a commercial office for a transportation company since 19 62. It was the opinion of his lawyer at this time, that he therefore had a legal small engine and small appliance repair business together with an office for same from within his home. He conducted the actual repairs from within his garage. He has continued to conduct the business for the past thirty-one (31) years, It is a misconception that he conducted the business substantially as a part-time business and then has changed the nature of the business to a full-time business within the last number of years. He actually, when he worked off site away from his home he worked a forty (40) hour week at Curvply, but at the same time he worked evenings from 5:00 p.m. — 10:00 p.m. five (5) days a week and then on ,Saturdays and Sundays, he worked full days in his repair business,within his home—garage.. The repair involved toasters, kettles, waffle irons, vacuum cleaners, grass cutting equipment, snow blowers, log splitting equipment, trimmers, chain saws, large equipment and rata-tillers. All large equipment, was all repaired away from his home, on site, at various farms. The latter mobile portion of his business comprised thirty-five (35%) per cent of his business since inception. Mr. Knapp regards small engines as engines that you can pick up with your hands and repair. In other words, there was no large equipment repaired on site. He had applied for a minor variance to permit a zoning change to have included within home occupation business a small engine and small appliance repair business. However, the Official Plan for the Municipality of Clarington specifically states that no small engine business is permitted. However, there is no definition of a small of engine repair business, With the combination of a small engine and small appliance repair business and the combination of a mobile repair of large equipment (35%) being away from site it is perceived that the actual business be permitted. During the repair business operated by Mr. Knapp he has been very sensitive to his neighbours. He recently has only conducted his business between the hours of 10:00 o'clock a.m. and 4:00 o'clock p.m. In fact, the only time that small appliances are delivered to him, his customers are only parking temporarily for drop off It is submitted there is no impact whatsoever on neighbours. In fact, if the neighbour to the north of Mr. Kapp on Station Street, is cutting his lawn, it takes forty-five (45) minutes with the operation of a lawnmower. Mr. Knapp would not operate any small engine or small appliance for forty-five(45)minutes over a period of at least three to four days. 3 Mr. Knapp has decided to make this application under Section 39 of the Planning Act.. I would submit to you that Section 39 of the Planning Act, permits the use regardless of zoning. In other words, it is the use that is paramount. The fact that Section 39 has an outside limit of three (3) years, under the Planning Act, with the possibility of renewal, it is regarded as a "temporary use". Such permission under Section 39 for temporary use, seems reasonable due to the fact that Mr. Knapp has operated this business since 1979. Further, a map is enclosed that shows that the Village of Orono is a mixed use situation throughout the residential area. Mr. Knapp's small engine and small appliance repair business merely compliments and provides a major service to the neighbourhood. Residents, seem very willing for example to push a lawnmower down the street and have Wes Knapp repair same. Further, he has conducted his small engine and small appliance repair business from within the garage, attached to his home. With regard to the sign, it was Mr. Knapp's understanding that as long as a process to bring the business within a legal recognition of the Municipality of Clarington, a charge would not be laid against Mr. Knapp for the use of a sign on the front of his home. The latter agreement was confirmed by Mr. Knapp through the Enforcement Office and a edict was issued by the Enforcement Office that as long as a sandwich board sign was used (taken out first thing in the morning and returned in the evening), then there would be no problems whatsoever. Having regard for the above submission, would you kindly support Mr. and Mrs. Knapp to permit the continuation of the said business on a temporary basis for a period of three (3) years, Yours very truly, RFW/lrb RO D F.
