My name is Stephen Selby. My wife Patti and I own 11% of the affected lands in the study area. Patti and
I purchased these lands over our 42 -year farming career.
We operate a progressive, competitive, and succession focused family farm business. We built our farm
business through continued investment in land, equipment, and mostly hard work.
Agricultural land is the backbone of our business. We borrow against the equity in our land for operating
expenses including farm inputs, to purchase modern equipment that enables us to produce more for
less, and to expand our land base. We also borrow against our land for personal living expenses and did
so to raise and educate our children. Today, we are able to service this indebtedness because our
business is profitable.
But the costs to operate our business are increasing exponentially. As a progressive business, we have
capably absorbed those increasing costs along with the burden of payroll tax, value added tax, municipal
land tax, corporate tax, carbon tax, personal income tax, and capital gains tax.
Our lands were competitively purchased, and borrowed against, based on a value that does not reflect a
green belt designation. Green belting would destroy the value of our lands - a gut -wrenching thought.
Our lenders will demand greater security over the debts that we have incurred to build our business,
which we simply cannot provide. That makes green belting an existential threat to our business. If we
cannot offer the new security that lenders will demand if the value of our land is destroyed by a green
belt designation, liquidation becomes inevitable.
Undermining farmers and farm business with green belt regulation undermines the objective of
preserving land for agricultural use. For example, 2% of our affected lands within the study area is a
parcel of 215 acres that Patti and I recently purchased for long term agricultural use. We were able to
purchase these 215 acres because we could borrow against the value of our existing land base. We
could not have done so if our existing land base were green belted. Only a non-agricultural commercial
real estate buyer, intent on developing the land for non-agricultural uses, would have been capable to
purchase the 215 acres.
The idea that destruction of equity in farmland helps to protect farmland for future use is farfetched.
How can it possibly be considered good public policy? If the best use of land is for agriculture, then
farmers need to own the land. To green belt farmland will cause the rapid sale of farmland to purchasers
that do not have a vested interest in production agriculture. It will cause the rapid decline of multi-
generational farms in Clarington without achieving the objective of protecting farmland for future
generations.
Thank you,
Stephen Selby

Dear Mayor and Council:
Reference No. 11156515
Re: Agenda Item 14.1 of the Planning and Development Committee Meeting
February 1, 2021
We are writing on behalf of the Brookhill North Landowners Group (BNLG) with regard to Item 14.1 from
the agenda of the Planning and Development Committee on February 1, 2021. We understand that the
motion was adopted, as modified, such that there is a resolution before Council to direct Staff to issue a
notice of a Public Meeting to be held on April 26, 2021 for the consideration of the deletion of Special
Study Area 2 from the Clarington Official Plan. We wish to make it clear that the BNLG is not opposed to
Council pursuing this Official Plan Amendment. The Amendment would not impact the land use status of
the Brookhill Secondary Plan area. Therefore, the BNLG takes no position on that matter.
The concern we wish to bring to Council's attention stems from a memorandum from the Acting Director of
Planning and Development Services in response to Item 14.1. It is contained in the same Agenda as
Item 11.1. The memo indicates that should the resolution described above be endorsed by Council, the
additional workload generated by the direction, together with other Council directions will impact the
department's staff resources such that it will delay the adoption of a number of Secondary Plans that are
in progress, including the Brookhill Secondary Plan Update. We understand from the discussion at the
Planning and Development Committee that this could mean that the Brookhill Secondary Plan Update
would be delayed until at least the fall of 2021.
This is particularly of concern to the BNLG as the Brookhill Secondary Plan Update is finally nearing
completion after over two years of Municipally -led study. Even though the Secondary Plan Update should
have been completed by now, the BNLG understands that it is difficult to keep such studies on track and
that the COVID 19 restrictions we are all working under have somewhat hindered the ability to keep the
project on schedule. However, in the case of the Brookhill Secondary Plan Update, the originally assumed
completion date was June 2020. The most recent completion date provided to the BNLG by Staff is early
in 2021.
The completion of the Brookhill Secondary Plan Update in a timely manner is essential to maintaining the
supply of serviced lots in Clarington in the "pipeline"; particularly as demand for housing in Clarington is at
an all- time high and the inventory of serviced lots in the Municipality is dwindling rapidly. Without the
Secondary Plans in place to permit new Greenfield development, Clarington could face a shortage in
housing supply at the same time as the demand will be the highest ever.

T 905 686 6402 F 905 432 7877 W www.ghd.com 3 ��
The BNLG should not be expected to accept a potentially significant delay in the Municipally -led Brookhill
Secondary Plan Update, for which the statutory Public Meeting was held in September 2020, as a result of
the addition of one more item to staff's workload. The BNLG fully funded, at a cost of $600,000, in
advance and in good faith, the cost of both the consultant background studies and the Secondary Plan
preparation, and staff's time to lead and manage the project. This was agreed to by the BNLG based on
the Municipality's corresponding commitment to proceed with the Secondary Plan in an active, diligent
and expeditious manner — all as enshrined in the legal agreement dated December 19, 2018 which was
entered into by the BNLG owners and the Municipality.
We respectfully request that necessary resources continue to be directed to the Brookhill Secondary Plan
Update, such that it can be completed in early 2021 as most recently reported to the Secondary Plan
Steering Committee.
In summary, we reiterate that we are not taking a position on whether Council proceeds with a Public
Meeting for a possible Official Plan Amendment if it deems such to be worthy of pursuit. Rather, we are
asking that, if Council adopts the resolution to pursue the Amendment, that Staff and Council work
together to ensure that the Brookhill Secondary Plan Update (for which contractual commitments have
been made), are not delayed.
We are requesting that this letter be placed in the Council Correspondence section of the agenda for the
Council meeting of February 8, 2021. We will also be asking for a deputation at that meeting in order to
reinforce our comments and to answer any questions which Council may have.

Bowmanville, ON L1 C 3A6
Dear Mayor and Council,
Re: Agenda Item 14.1 of the Planning and Development Committee
Meeting February 1, 2021
I am writing regarding the above -captioned matter discussed at the February 1, 2021 Planning and
Development Committee Meeting which concerned the requirements for Public Meeting Notice for Special
Study Area 2 of the Clarington Official Plan.
While I take no position on this specific matter, I am very concerned about the consequence, as noted in a
memo of January 30, 2021 by the Interim Director of Planning to Council, that the preparation necessary for
such a Public Meeting could result in the diversion of Planning Staff from their current duties in facilitating
the timely processing of Secondary Plans well underway. This would subsequently result in significant
delays to the approvals of such Plans and the ability of homebuilders to bring product to market in a timely
manner.
I am a member of the Brookhill Landowners' Group but speak only for myself. Although the comments
contained herein are my own, I believe they are reflective of the concerns of many in the development
industry. When Landowner Groups enter into good faith agreements with the Municipality to proceed with
the funding of Secondary Plan studies (which with regards to the Brookhill Secondary Plan Update is in the
neighbourhood of $600,000) in accordance with an agreed workplan, a unilateral decision by the
Municipality to significantly alter the schedule does not promote the kind of productive working relationships
between the business community and the Municipality that is so often touted as an aspirational goal.
I therefore urge Council to find a way through this dilemma which may include more rigorous examination of
the need and urgency of proceeding with a Public Meeting on Special Study Area 2 at this time and/or the
dedication of additional staff resources to ensure that Secondary Plan processes are not delayed.
New housing demand in Clarington is booming. The Oshawa CMA (Census Metropolitan Area), of which
Clarington is part, led the nation in housing growth in 2020 as described in this link:
https://www.durhamradionews.com/archives/132486
Council must now give serious consideration to weighing the cost/benefit between proceeding with this
Public Meeting preparation versus compromising the ability of the development industry to provide new
housing to the community and the economic benefits generated therefrom.
Yours truly,

Dear Mayor and Councillors,
We, Verwest investments Inc, own —100 acres at 2185 Bloor St, Bowmanville (SE corner of Holt and Bloor).
We are concerned and disappointed that Clarington Council did not consult or notify us prior to developing the
Clarington Greenbelt Expansion Policy nor did they notify us that our lands would be included within the
Clarington Official Plan Section 17.3 Special Study Area - 2 Greenbelt Expansion. Expanding the Greenbelt to
include an additional 9,500 acres of future Urban and Employment Lands is a very important decision that requires
transparency and stakeholder participation.
We are strongly opposed to the enlargement of the Greenbelt in Clarington. The Greenbelt already covers — 81 % of
Clarington's 151,000 acre land mass and a further expansion will drastically reduce opportunities for employment
lands thereby stifling growth, reducing future job opportunities and depressing land values in Clarington.
While I am aware that Council will hold a public meeting in April to "consider" the deletion of the Special Study
Area 2 from the official plan, I feel that this is an important issue to be resolved as soon as possible. Please amend
the Clarington Official Plan as soon as possible and delete Special Study Area 2.
SIncerely,
Antonella Vergati

Hi Ron Hopper
Just a common sense comment on the green belt that is being looked at.
The area between Bowmanville and Courtice as green belt makes no sense.
It would be farm land for ever and there is only one active farmer left in the area so implements need to travel our
busy roads to do the work not ideal.
I thought services were less expensive if they did not need to be built many kms to where they are needed.
To keep my taxes reasonable it makes sense to keep development closer to existing services and main roads.
Going forward if this area is green space you need to plan on water and sewers to Hampton which then can be the
new development area.
Having property there I would not complain but it doesn't make sense .
Please think about this and when it comes to a vote do so with common sense.
Thanks

Hello
My name is Tamara Watson. I own two properties in the Special Study area - 2, which you are
planning to expand into the Greenbelt. I am against adding this area in. I have listened to your
online meetings. I went out getting petitions signed to stop this process. I am asking you all to
STOP this process now and remove this area from being added. It's been very clear the
residents are completely against this. There has been numerous attempts for it to be stopped
yet you continue to ignore the community's input. Also we want to make it very clear that the
Clarington Corporate Transparency and accountability policy F-11 is always being following
and that this point, it has not. You must be held accountable for everything you do and we are
going to make sure this happens.
Again, I will repeat what I am asking. Please delete section 17.3 Special Study area 2 from
the Clarington Official Plan.
Signed
Tamara Watson

The meeting was called to order at 6:33 p.m.
1. Discussion []Use of Dog Leash
Concern received from resident. A complaint was received about his dog being in a
public space without a leash. The resident advises he uses a scooter and is concerned
about safety of the animal if on a leash (i.e. leash getting tangled in wheels). Municipal
Law Enforcement Officer visited his residence and provided education about the by-law.
7KHr'31-NO/-DJC DFJ HFIE -law was shared by Erica with the Committee. Both Erica and
Mary Jane consulted with their colleagues from municipalities across Ontario and have
confirmed that all implement the by-law in a similar manner.
Some resources and suggested accessories were shared by colleagues in other
municipalities to support the resident using a leash.
Mary Jane suggested that dogs should be on a leash due to the unpredictable nature of
animals and the owner needs to be able to control the animal should something
happen. Pinder suggested that the Committee should support the municipality in
enforcing the by-law and provide resources (education) to support the resident. Sarah
Taylor suggested various options for leash and accessories should be offered.

Presentation
Philip Lawrence, MP (Northumberland -Peterborough South): MP Lawrence
provided an overview and background on the private members bill that he introduced to
the legislature and is now in Second Reading. Private Members Bill, Bill C-206, An Act
to amend the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act, if passed, would extend the
exemption to paying the Federal Carbon Tax for qualifying farming fuel to marketable
natural gas and propane. These fuels are routinely used by farms for drying grain and
heating barns. MP Lawrence indicated that these types of farm fuel uses cannot be
reduced. As such, applying a Carbon Tax to these fuels would not incentivize an
appreciable reduction in their use. MP Lawrence stated that when the Carbon Tax in its
current format is fully escalated it will represent approximately 5% of the fuel cost that
farmers pay. A timeline for a final decision on the bill is not known at this time.
Delegations
None.
Business Arisina from Minutes
"Share the Road" Signage: At the November Committee meeting a concern about the
busy nature of new Share the Road signs that have been seen in Durham Region
arose. With assistance from Allison Brown, it was clarified that these news signs are
from the Township of Scugog. The Region of Durham's Share the Road signage has
not changed.
Request of Ministerial Zoning Order Resolution: Council has approved a
reconsideration of Resolution #C-418-20 discussed at the November AACC meeting,
and a resolution to revoke the following paragraph from that resolution:
"That the Province commit to reviewing the lands south of Highway 2 between Hwy 418
and Maple Grove Road for inclusion in the Greenbelt based on their contributions to the
systems of agriculture, natural heritage and water resources."
The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has been advised of the revocation of this
request.
Special Study Area 2 in the Clarington Official Plan contains policies in relation to the
rural land located between Courtice and Bowmanville and Bowmanville and Newcastle,
north of Highway 401 and south of the Greenbelt Area. Policy direction to study the
agricultural value of these lands and to consider seeking the addition of any identified
high yielding agricultural lands to the Greenbelt stemmed from recommendation made
by the AACC during the Official Plan Review. In light of the growing concern in the
community about this policy direction, reconsideration may be needed. Committee
members were asked to review the background information and Special Study Area 2
policies previously circulated by Staff in advance of the next meeting. This matter will
be included on the January 2021 meeting agenda for discussion.

Zekveld. The appointments will be considered for ratification by Council on December

This meeting was the final Committee meeting for longstanding members Ted Watson
and Les Caswell. Ted Watson was a founding member of the Committee. Sincere
appreciation was extended by the Committee for his hard work over many years to help
ensure that Council is informed on agriculture an agriculture -related issues. Great
thanks were also extended to Les Caswell for his time spent contributing to the
Committee and many of the Committee's working groups.
Annual Update to Council: Annual AACC Report in development. Tentative dates for
the AACC Chair's annual update are January 11 (Planning & Development Committee)

December 8 DAAC meeting in his email to all prior to the meeting. No further
discussion by the Committee.

the November 18 DRFA meeting in his email to all prior to the meeting. No further
discussion by the Committee.

New Business
Proposed Study on Soil Health: Correspondence from Hon. Robert Black (Senator —
Ontario) regarding this matter was forwarded to the Committee in advance of the
meeting. Mr. Black is seeking feedback and support on a potential request to the
Standing Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry for a new study to be
undertaken on the importance of soil health. The correspondence from Mr. Black
indicates that the last Federal report on soil health is 35 years old. Committee members
discussed a number of agencies and organizations that are engaged in similar work,
including OMAFRA / University of Guelph and the Soil & Crop Association.
Zone Clarington — Rural Areas Phase: Procedural notice was given that on
December 14, 2020, Council will consider "lifting" of the rural phase of the
comprehensive zoning by-law review project. In October 2019, Clarington's Planning
and Development Committee of Council tabled the Rural Areas Phase of the project
indefinitely. This means that work on updating zoning for Clarington's rural areas was
placed on hold. If a "lifting" motion is approved by Council on December 14, Council
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington3 TF1
December 10, 2020
may then give direction to Staff with respect to resuming work on reviewing zoning for
Clarington's rural areas.
COVID-19 and Local Economic Impact: Henry Zekveld brought forward concerns
regarding the on-going economic / community impact of the restrictions placed on local
businesses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Henry questioned whether the
number of COVID cases locally warranted the level of restrictions in place and
expressed concern about the social, mental and long-term financial implications. While
many Committee members expressed agreement with concern for the community, it
was acknowledged that the local agricultural sector has adapted and maintained
viability.

Presentation
Ron Trewin and Andrew Janes, Transportation Design, Region of Durham —
Regional Roads Capital Program: Ron and Andrew presented an overview of rural
projects proposed over the next few years in Clarington. Nine key road projects to occur
along or near Taunton Road between Townline Road and Liberty Street over the next
three to four years were reviewed. These included sections of road reconstruction (2),
road intersection improvements (3), and the construction of roundabouts (4). Some of
these projects will require construction road closures. Regional Staff indicated that the
timing and sequencing of projects along Taunton Road will be carefully considered in
order to minimize traffic impacts.
The design elements of roundabouts to accommodate farm vehicles was reviewed,
including lessons learned and adaptations implemented as a result of the initial rural
area roundabouts constructed in the Region. The roundabout planned for the
intersection of Regional Roads 3 and 57 will be the first rural area roundabout
constructed in Clarington. Design is near completion and construction is anticipated to
begin Fall 2021. Ron also noted that the Region continues to update Regional Road
Standards, taking into account new approaches to road safety and concerns received
from rural residents. This includes looking back to projects recently completed to
partially pave the shoulders to a 1.5 m width. As part of action being taken to plan for
the impacts of climate change, the Region is reviewing culvert sizes when replacements
are being planned for larger rainfall and spring runoff events.
The Committee commented on the importance of ensuring that farm vehicles can easily
move between their farming locations. In some cases, detour options for farm vehicles
are not available if a full roadway closure occurs. Committee members also requested
notification of pending road projects as far in advance as possible, reminding Reginal
staff that the landowner may not necessarily be the one farming a property.
Later in the meeting it was asked whether a quarterly update notice could be issued by
the Region to local agricultural networks. Staff will follow up with the Region with this
request as well as a request for the Region to confirm whether they are looking future
construction works on Taunton Road at the Orono Works Yard.
Delegations
Martha Vandepol regarding Special Study Area 2 — Greenbelt Expansion: Ms.
Vandepol expressed concerns regarding the area designated as Special Study Area 2
in the Clarington Official Plan, its associated policies, and recent discussions taking
place in the community and by Council regarding its potential consideration for inclusion
in the Provincial Greenbelt. Ms. Vandepol is a business owner within the area and
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington3 11] January 14, 2021
indicated she was speaking on behalf of family and many other concerned property
owners within Special Study Area 2. Key concerns raised included:
x potential misinterpretation of a resolution passed by the AACC in August 2011,
which informed the development of policies for Special Study Area 2;
x The absence of a map in the Clarington Official Plan to show and delineate the
boundaries of Special Study Area 2;
x The extent of consultation that occurred involving landowners within the
established Special Study Area 2 during the Official Plan Review process;
x That due process for requesting an expansion to the Greenbelt Area has not, in
her opinion been followed, including statutory public consultation requirements;
x The potential procedural implications for Council of the use of the term
"reconsider" in the following paragraph of Resolution #C-512-20 approved by
Council on December 14, 2020:
That Staff initiate all public consultation such that Section 17.3 of the Official
Plan Special Study Area 2 -Greenbelt Expansion be reconsidered.
x lack of information on the need for additional designated Greenbelt Area within
the Municipality and the contribution of Special Study Area 2 lands to the
agricultural system.
The Delegate requested that the Committee pass a motion to support the deletion of
Special Study Area 2 from the Clarington Official Plan.
Business Arising from Minutes

system remain in place. A final decision will be made by Council on January 18.
Zone Clarington — Rural Areas Phase: Staff provided the Committee with a brief
status update. At the December 14, 2020, Council meeting, Municipal staff were directed
to resume work on the Rural Areas Phase of Zone Clarington after the project was
previously tabled by the Planning and Development Committee. The tabling motion passed
in October 2019, effectively put an indefinite hold on all work on the rural area portion of
Zone Clarington. Staff will now continue working on the Rural Area Phase of the project with
specific direction from Council that includes:
x Preparing a report for Council approval with a draft Zoning By-law;
x Keeping the Environmental Protection (EP) zoning that is currently in place in
Clarington's existing Zoning By-law(s);
x Adding maps to the draft Zoning By-law from other agencies that will provide
information on corresponding land use regulations, which may apply if a new
development of a property is being proposed;
x Adding advisories into the zoning by-law(s) to make it clear that a property owner
also has obligations to comply with external agency rules relating to land use;
and
x Stopping work on the Site -Specific EP Zoning Review Process, including site-
specific visits.
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington3 Tn January 14, 2021
Staff anticipate reporting back to Council on progress with the draft zoning by-law late in
2021. Before Council can approve a Zoning By-law amendment, public consultation is
required to incorporate public feedback on the proposal.
In the same resolution, Council directed staff to amend the Environmental Protection
Area land use designation in the Clarington Official Plan. Staff will complete a review of
the policies in the Official Plan based on Provincial legislation and the Region of
Durham Municipal Comprehensive Review process currently underway. This project is

Area 2 — Greenbelt Expansion. Staff informed the Committee that a budget, work plan
and timeline will be developed for the process. The Committee will be asked at a future
date to discuss and provide input on the matter, but the timeline for doing so is not yet

Whereas pursuant to the second provincial emergency under s 7.0.1 (1) of

Whereas the Public Works Winter Control budget still calls for an increase

A potential solution may be for municipalities, either individually or in groups or via the Federation
of Canadian Municipalities, to approach CP for information relevant to each municipality and see
if CP will cooperate or refuse the request. If CP will cooperate, each municipality can retain the
information, attempt to update it every few years and make it available to developers/consultants
similar to what is done for road traffic.
It should be noted that attempting to count railway traffic on-site, independently of the railway,
similar to counting road traffic, is not considered practicable.
Another potential, less satisfactory solution is to universally ❑mitigation❑/❑

In many cases \ffiVEFRXG:ULNA9AWRYHJNQ that is, mitigation measures that are really not
necessary for the particular circumstances and in other cases mitigation measures that may be
inadequate.
THE RAILWAY GUIDELINES
The guideline document referenced above was issued jointly by the Federation of Canadian
Municipalities (FCM) and the Railway Association of Canada (RAC). CP is understood to be a
member of RAC and participated in creating the Guidelines document. The Guidelines address
noise as well as other aspects, and provide recommendations regarding noise assessment
reports, noise mitigation and implementation. Specifically:

7. Appendix C, Section AC.1.5 is similar to AC.1.4 except for rail yards and talks of obtaining
various information from the railway.
It is clear that the FCM/RAC Guidelines fully intend that the railways cooperate and provide
relevant information to allow the best possible railway noise assessment in accord with the MOE
(now MECP) rail noise analysis techniques and the Guidelines.
For some reason CP has chosen to abandon these Guidelines which they helped to formulate.
We are hoping that, with the help of municipalities, a resolution to this situation with CP can be
found, to continue to allow appropriate noise studies to be done where CP rail corridors or other
facilities are involved.
In the interim, your suggestions would be welcomed as to how we and other consultants/clients
should proceed with railway noise studies involving CP Rail facilities, where railway
traffic/operational data are not readily available.
