Glenda Gies, Port Darlington Community Association, Co- Chair, St Marys Community
Relations Committee, addressed Council to highlight the Committee's activities during
2010. Ms. Gies indicated the Committee was established by Council approximately
15 years ago to provide a forum for dialogue and relationship - building between the
community and St Marys Cement and to provide an opportunity for St Marys to report
on their progress implementing the Westside Marsh Reconfiguration Plan. She stated
the Committee meets four times per year to discuss dock operations, dust releases,
stack emissions, ground vibrations and community complaints noting information
considered in 2010 has been summarized in the Annual Report. Ms. Gies stated she
is one of three residents of the lakeshore who have been appointed by Port Darlington
Community Association and their representatives attend the meetings and review the
operating data.
Council Meeting Minutes - 4 - July 4, 2011
Ms. Gies advised that over the years, the Committee has had representatives from the
Aspen Springs Community Association and the Wilmot Creek Residents Association;
however, although they were invited to participate in the Committee, they have
declined to send representatives. Ms. Gies stated the Port Darlington Community
Association will continue to attend meetings, but she feels the Committee
effectiveness would be improved if there were more community participation and
urged Council to solicit other community representatives.
Ms. Gies introduced Ruben Plaza, Environmental Manager to present details of St
Marys Cement operations. Through use of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Plaza
reviewed the West Side Marsh project, a 25.7 hectare of land transferred to the
Central Lake Ontario Conservation Area's control and designated as a conservation
area in 2006. Mr. Plaza stated St Marys has invested $9.4 million in the project which
provides habitat to over 250 species of birds and rare plants and provides a unique
habitat for migratory birds, amphibians, fish and small mammals. Mr. Plaza reviewed
environmental performance including ISO 14001 and Energy Certification and
highlighted Environmental Awards such as the PCA Chairman's Performance Safety
Award, which is given to the top five companies in North America, the PCA
Environmental Award 2007/2008 for the reduction of emissions and the marsh project
and the 2007 CIPEC Energy Leadership Award (NRCan), noting St Marys is listed by
the Ministry as one of ten companies that are making a difference. Mr. Plaza
reviewed SO2 and NOx emissions, noting the company was over their allowances in
2010, but below Ministry of the Environment limits for the period 2006 to 2010.
Mr. Plaza introduced Michael Smith, Mining Manager, who reviewed an aerial photo of
the quarry and the plant. Mr. Smith indicated St Marys monitors both ground vibration
and air vibration as part of the monitoring process. He noted in 2010, there was one
ground vibration which exceeded the Provincial standard guideline in September and
one exceedence of air vibration limits in January. He indicated St Marys has
responded to these exceedences by changing the method in which blasts are
detonated which has provided good results. He noted the company tracks community
complaints for blasting, dust and plume and that the majority of complaints received
related to blasting in December. Mr. Smith indicated that the company received an
abnormally high number of complaints during the holiday season, and that this year
they will not blast during that time period. Mr. Smith highlighted the 2011 outlook
stating St Marys continues to be commitment to reducing stack emissions for NOX an
SOX, to maintaining and improving mining blasting to reduce exceedences and to
improve their relationship with neighbours. The company is also continuing to work
with local charities and will continue to share their facility with their neighbours through
their Annual Open Houses. Mr. Smith highlighted various committee initiatives and
sponsorships that benefit the community. He also advised of the success of this
year's Open House where approximately 1100 visitors toured the plant and quarry.
Mr. Smith thanked Council for allowing St Marys to provide an Annual Update.
Mr. Plaza introduced Martin Vroegh, Wilson Little and Fabio Garcia, St Marys staff
who were also in attendance this evening.
Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - July 4, 2011
DELEGATIONS
Libby Racansky addressed Council concerning Item 8 of Report # 1 — Report PSD-
060 -11 — Authorization to Execute Subdivision Agreement — Claret Investments Draft
Approved Plan of Subdivision 18T- 94027. Ms. Racansky expressed concern with the
impacts on the ecosystem and neighbourhood resulting from the development of the
two plans of subdivision and questioned how the wetland, Area of Natural and
Scientific Interest (ANSI), with the only stream left in the neighbourhood, would not be
affected by sewer, water, storm sewer and a pathway bisecting right through it.
Ms. Racansky stated that on June 16th a petition signed by approximately 100 area
residents was submitted for the protection of two wetlands which was referred to staff
noting that one wetland has been cleared of trees. Ms. Racansky referenced an
Ontario Municipal Board decision indicating that there should be appropriate
measures to protect the lands adjacent to the two plans of subdivision but that the
wetland in question is not adjacent to the approved lands and it needs more
protection. Ms. Racansky stated all conditions of the Ontario Municipal Board
Decision should be complied with, not just Condition #29. Ms. Racansky proposed
mitigation measures to offset negative effects of development and to prevent further
damage. Suggestions included reversing the housing line with the road located right
at the wetland which would not affect the number of units, tunneling the services
rather than removing the vegetation, building an overpass over the wetland for
residents walking to the Park, not extending George Reynolds Drive, providing
compensation for clearing and removal of endangered species and creating a new
wetland in the park where cedars from the Headgate development could be used.
Ms. Racansky urged Council to ensure responsible and sustainable development .
occurs and not to leave these matters up to developers, as there will be no turning
back once the damage is done.
Richard Lyall, President, Residential Construction Council of Ontario ( RESCON) and
Andy Manahan, Executive Director, Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of
Ontario ( RCCAO) addressed Council concerning Item D — 7 - Consequences of Rising
Government - Imposed Costs on Housing Affordability. Mr. Lyall distributed a brochure
entitled "Reducing Hidden Housing Costs" — Making Home Ownership Affordable for
Working Families. He stated RESCON and RCCAO share the concern that the
construction industry is getting to the point where they can't build homes for working
families because government- imposed costs are driving up the cost of building and
buying new homes. He noted that while incomes have not increased, housing costs
have doubled and tripled making home ownership increasingly out of reach for
Ontario's working families. Mr. Lyall stated the organizations feel that the trend of
historically low interest rates will not continue indefinitely and when rates increase,
they will have serious consequences and tremendous implications for economic
development and growth. Mr. Lyall stated that these costs need to be brought under
control and an investigation carried out as to where savings can be found. Mr. Lyall
confirmed that they have a meeting scheduled with the Minister of Housing who has
requested input on how to address these cost factors.
Council Meeting Minutes - 6 - duly 4, 2011
Mr. Manahan addressed the report "Alternatives to Development Charges for Growth
Related Capital Costs" indicating that the document was prepared by Professor
David Amborski from Ryerson University who was strictly commissioned for providing
advice. He compared the housing inflation index over the past decade with the spike
in development charges and while he concurred that growth should pay for growth; he
indicated that there were some areas that have room for innovation. Mr. Manahan
stated the organizations were not here to criticize but that they want to work with the
industry, municipalities and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario with respect to
the development charges.
Karen McArthur addressed Council concerning Item 2 of Report #1 — Amendments to
Noise By -law. Ms. McArthur quoted a federal government study indicating that "Noise
is more than a nuisance since it constitutes a real and present danger to people's
health" and that studies are continuing to bring forth increasingly strong and
frightening evidence that this is true. Ms. McArthur expressed concern that the recent
noise testing undertaken by Paul Young for the Orono Gun Club would not fulfill the
requirements of a proper noise test because it did not use the "Predictable Worst
Case Impact ". Ms. McArthur stated that residents disagree with using 70db as the
upper limit because it is too loud and that if decibel levels are to be used as the criteria
for the bylaw, the level of 50db be used as the upper limit. She stated anything higher
still leaves residents' health and enjoyment of their homes at great risk. She stated
the current noise from the gun club causes negative reactions in children and stress to
residents who must move indoors, shut windows, insert ear plugs, stop entertaining
and also worry about the devaluation of their property. Ms. McArthur provided a
comparison between the membership and logistics of the Orono Gun Club to the
Union Gun Club, noting the Orono Gun Club has more members and operates on a
smaller piece of property closer to a community with no sound berms. She expressed
concern that the by -law does not address the increased frequency of shooting. Ms.
McArthur urged Council to ensure that a 50db upper limit be imposed, that the Orono
Gun Club consult with an expert in sound abatement to ensure that any sound berm
built be in the proper location and properly designed and constructed and that
municipal staff oversee the project, that the by -law be based on the Ontario
Environmental Protection Act, that the Orono Gun Club be required to return to the
long- established pattern of club members shooting twice a week, that outside groups
seek more appropriate locations and that residents be provided with an accurate and
complete list of all days shooting will occur and advised of changes in a timely fashion
and that the By -law be effective September 1, 2011. Ms. McArthur stated that the
Orono Gun Club, in a letter dated August 27, 2008, had indicated that they were
prepared to construct berms but noted that the correspondence does not mention that
construction would be conditional on the Club being able to purchase the road
allowance from the municipality. She expressed concern that it has been three years
and no berms have been built. Ms. McArthur urged Council to protect the rights of the
Leskard community. Ms. McArthur submitted a written copy of her delegation.
Greg Farrant, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters was called but was not in
attendance.

environmental impacts including soil excavation and the vehicle air
emissions, noise and dust that will be created; advising that the lake -
based cooling system is associated with CANDU reactors and is used
in current nuclear generating facilities, and from an economic

Level evel Nuclear Waste
TerrY Doran, Vice President, Nuclear Waste Management for OPG, provided a
very interesting presentation of the proposed Deep Geological Repository (DGR)
Project for Low and Intermediate Level Nuclear Waste Site planned for
construction at the Bruce Nuclear Site. The highlights of Terry's presentation were:
• The proposed DGR location is located one kilometer inland from Lake Huron
at the Bruce Nuclear Site.
• OPG will be owner and operator of the DRO and it will be used only for
OPG's low and intermediate level nuclear waste.
• The Bruce Nuclear Site is ideally suited for the DGR because of the natural
attributes of the rock.
• The DGR site details include:
• Safe long-terin storage for OPG's low and intermediate level nuclear
waste.
• The DGR site will not be used for used nuclear fuel.
• There is strong community support for the proposed project.
• The DGR is located 680 metres below the ground surface.
• The DGR capacity is 200,000 cubic metres of waste.
• The DGR will be capable of year-round operations.
• The DGR will be capable of transporting packages weighing 35
tonnes.
o There Mll be space at the site for waste rock.
• Four years of investigation and studies have concluded the DGR Project will
not have any significant adverse effects on the public or the environment.
• Results of the geological studies show the following:
• Rock formations are predictable
• Multiple natural barriers will safely isolate and contain the waste for
thousands of years
• The natural resource potential is low
• Shallow groundwater resources are well isolated
Terry indicated the Next Steps for the Project in 2011 are:
• A Joint Review Panel will be appointed.
• Participant finding will be awarded.
• Public review period will be set for the Environmental Impact Statement.
• The profile of the DGR will increase during the comment period.
The Next Steps for the Project from 2012 to 2019 are:
* Public Hearings will be held before the Joint Review Panel.
* Opportunities will be provided for the public and aboriginal peoples to
participate.
* The Joint Review Panel will prepare a report with recommendations for the
federal Minister of the Environment.
The Minister of the Environment will take a report to Cabinet for a Decision
on the Project.
* In 2013, construction of the DGR will begin.
* In 2019, the DGR will be operational.

Monitoring Programs
'G, provided a
Cainmie Cheng, Assistant Scientist/Technical Officer for OP
presentation of the results of the 2010 Radiological Environmental Monitoring
Programs (RED) for Pickering and Darlington Nuclear Generating Stations
(NGSs). The highlights of Cam-mic's presentation were:
• Radionuclides in the environment were monitored on an on-going basis at
Pickering and Darlington NGSs.
• In 2010, samples of milk., soil, beach sand, honey,, precipitation, drinking
water, lake water, fish, sediments, silage, fruits, and vegetables were taken.
around Pickering and Darlington NGSs.
• From these samples, 2354 laboratory analyses of radionuclides were
performed.
• The 2010 REMP Obiectives were:
o Confirm effectiveness of station radioactive emission control.
o Assess the Public Doses.
o Evaluate transport model used for station Derived Release Limits and
Public Dose calculations.
• The Public Dose Estimation is based on field measurements as opposed to
being modeled solely on on-site emissions.
• The Public Dose for Pickering NGS for 2010 was 0.1% of the CNSC legal
limit and significantly less than the Public Dose in 2009.
• Uie Public ' Dose for Darlington NGS for 2010 was less than 0.1% of the
CNSC legal limit and slightly less than the Public Dose in 2009.
• The annual rolling average of tritium concentrations in drinking water
samples taken at the Ajax, . Oshawa and Bowinanville water supply plants
were approximately 5 Becquerels per litre.
• REMP modifications are continuously being made and in 2010 included
improving the data management, the successful agreement with Health
Canada to operate the noble gas network and the replacement of passive
tritum in air samplers with active in air samplers.
• The Summary of the 2010 REMP stated:
o Overall, REMP met its objectives in collecting radiological
environmental data for Pickering and Darlington NGSs site public
dose estimations and for confirming station emission control..
o Pickering and Darlington NGSs Public Doses were approximately
0.1% of the CNSC Legal Limit.
o Pickering and Darlington NGSs environmental measurements were
generally consistent with the previous 5 years results.
4
• For the REMP designs, the major change in 2010 was the
discontinuation. of passive tritium-i-n-air samplers from Pickering acid
Darlington 'NGSs.
• There were no significant deficiencies in sample collection and
sample analyses. .
• An audit and two self assessments were completed in 2010 with some
recommendations for minor changes to procedures.
* The 2010 REMP results were reviewed by an independent third Party and
subinittod to the CNSC for their review.
* The 2010 REMP results are available on the OPG website at www.opg.com.
Cammie Cheng can be reached at (905) 839-6746 or by e-mail at
cammie.cheng@opg.com for more information on the REMP. The slides Canunie

4.3 Progress Report by OPG concerning the Groundwater Monitoring Program at
Pickering Nuclear
Tiasi Ghosh provided a presentation on the 2010 Ground Water Monitoring
Program results at Pickering Nuclear. The highlights of Tiasi's presentation were:
The Objectives of the 2010 Groundwater Monitoring Program were:
• Verify groundwater flow characteristics.
• Monitor changes to on-site groundwater.
• Confirm no adverse off-site impacts from operation of the Pickering
NGS.
• The monitoring of groundwater is a result of a legacy of spills or leaks of
water containing tritium at the Upgrading Plant, Units I & 2, the Vacuum
Building and the Irradiated Fuel Bay at Pickering NGS.
• Pickering NGS has approximately 300 monitoring wells to characterize
groundwater conditions.
* In 2010, there was no indication of adverse off-site impacts of tritium in
grow, idwater from the operation of Pickering NGS.
• In 2010, results indicate that tritium concentrations were declining at the
Upgrading Plant Pickering, Units I & 2, Vacuum Building and Irradiated
Fuel Bay at Pickering B.
• In 2010, an increase in tritium concentrations was noted at the Unit 4
foundation drainage system that has resulted in increased sampling frequency
and follow-up actions were taken.
• Annually, the Groundwater Monitoring Program Results at Pickering NGS
are reported and reviewed by the CNSC.
Tiasi's summary comments were:
® There was no significant change in groundwater flow direction compared to
original predictions.
® Monitoring of on-site groundwater quality at key areas of concern did not
indicate any new sources of tritium.
No indications of adverse off-site impacts of tritium in groundwater were
noted from the� operation of Pickering NG-S.

Winston Wong an on ,= udfoot from the Ministry of Transportation gave a project
update on the 407 e ' nsion. A copy of the presentation is attached to these
minutes. The highway 11 be constructed in two phases. Phase one focuses on the
construction of the highway from Brock Road in Pickering to Harmony Road in Oshawa,
and the west Durham link from the 407 to the 401 in Whitby. Construction is expected
to start on this section of the highway in late 2012. The second phase of the highway
will be built in two stages. The first stage will extend the mainline from Harmony Road
eastward to connect to the east Durham link, at which point it will turn south and end at
Taunton Road. The second stage will be the connection of the east Durham link from
1
Taunton Road to the 401, and the continuation of the mainline to the Highway 115
connection. The entire project is expected to be completed by 2020

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
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.

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.
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.
