(b) Fran Harvie, 8801 Mosport Road, Orono, LOB 2MO re: Report EGD-001-01 circulated a copy of her correspondence dated September 4, 2001 as well as the following documents: . Correspondence from Miles Brandt dated August 24, 2001, wherein he expresses support for the "no parking" signs along the Mosport property. . Correspondence dated August 31,2001 from William Link, Executive Director, North Clarington Ratepayers Association, wherein he advises that the North Clarington Ratepayers Association played a significant roie in causing the "no parking" signs to be erected as well as their location. He notes that the Association represents several hundred area residents whose interests are adversely affected by the proposal to remove the vast majority of the signs. . Correspondences dated September 3, 2001 from Irene and Bill Link reiterating their objection to the removal of the "no parking" signs. Fran Harvie advised that, in her view, the removal of the "no parking" signs will have negative ramifications. She suggested that the Clarington Traffic Management Advisory Committee be consulted before any signs are removed. (c) David Gould, 9004 Mosport Road, Orono,LOB 1MO re: Parking advised that the Ratepayers Association had been requesting the installation of "no parking" signs for a long time and not only for the purpose of the Edenfest Concert. He stated that the signs give the residents a level of security and safety and that there is no reason for these signs to be removed on Mosport Road as they are already in place and at no cost to the municipality. He requested the "no parking" regulations be enforced on a daily basis. He also requested clarification regarding the key map. Attachment NO.1 to Report EGD-01-01 and stated that he did not agree with its contents. (d) Richard Ward, 3709 Regional Road 9, Orono, LOB 1MO presented the municipality with a document entitled "Notice of Application - Ontario Superior Court of Justice" and noted that his interest in the property began in early 1991. The next five years were spent removing vegetation and, in 1996, he requested a commercial designation for the property which was denied. He has been attempting to ''fix-up'' the property and, five years ago, had a well dug on the property. When the taxes were increased by "120%" he stopped the renovations. In his view, this is not a very desirable residential location but he has begun to repair the foundation, install new siding and install new windows and doors to eliminate the noise from the highway. With respect to Report CLD-003-01, he stated that only two property standards infractions were explained to him; the firewood pile and two 1937 McLaughlin Buick cars and, in his view, the matters have been rectified. 302 G.P. & A. Minutes -3 - September 4, 2001 . DELEGATIONS CONT'D. Councillor Schell stated a pecuniary interest with respect to the delegation of Linda Gasser regarding Reports PSD-005-01 and PSD-006-01 regarding the Oak Ridges Moraine; vacated his chair and refrained from discussion and voting on the subject matter. Sl. Mary's/Blue Circle is Councillor Schell's employer. (e) Linda Gasser, 7421 Best Road, P.O. Box 399, Orono, LOB 1MO re: PSD-005-01 circulated the following: . a copy of her presentation dated September 4, 2001; . a copy of her deputation to Regional Planning Committee on August 28, 2001; . excerpts from the minutes of the Regional Planning Committee meeting of August 28, 2001; and . a copy of her letter dated July 14, 2001 to the Planning Commissioner. Mrs. Gasser made the following points: . It is not useful for the Region to incorporate comments on two separate processes in one report. For the Region to propose a strategy in several key areas that the Province has indicated might be subject to whatever Oak Ridges Plan comes to be, is premature, and may result in a duplication of efforts and a waste of resources. Committee Members did not have the benefit of considering the input of the many individuals in Durham interested in the Oak Ridges Moraine in response to Regional Report 2001-P-78. She noted that it would be wise to label the current Clarington response as "preliminary", subject to further comments and refinement. She requested that Clarington planners submit addendum reports on both processes to Council on September 10, 2001 and that the municipality's final comments to the Region can then incorporate those comments as well as any further comments from the public. She suggested that the municipality should request further information from the Region on the role of the OMB, the role of the single commission for the Oak Ridges Moraine and the implications of the planned route of the 407 highway. It would be useful for Council to consider this information in the context of any response to the Region, as well as the Province. She suggested that an addendum to Report PSD-005-01 and PSD-006-01 be prepared which incorporates the public input from the Committee meeting as well as any written submissions on this matter. Mrs. Gasser concluded by stating that the Oak Ridges Moraine "freeze" is a unique opportunity to provide comprehensive feedback in a "less than perfecf' process. . Linda Gasser, 7421 Best Road, P.O. Box 399, Orono, LOB 1MO re: PSD-D06-01 circulated a copy of her presentation dated September 4, 2001 wherein she stated that Report PSD-006-01 has identified most of the issues and concerns, however, the following points should be noted: 303 G.P. & A. Minutes -4- September 4, 2001 . DELEGATIONS CONT'D. . In view of the fact that there is a 407 needs assessment process underway, the municipality should not commit to any particular comments about the terminus of highway 407 at this time. . Section 3.9 of Report PSD-006-01 should also state that there has been no dispute resolution mechanism, or appeals or hearing process identified to date - this is a most important issue in terms of implementation. . She requested that normal Council procedures be extended or waived for the Council meeting of September 10, 2001 in order to allow more time for interested parties to provide input. . She requested that an addendum to Report PSD-006-01 be prepared which would incorporate any input received at this committee meeting.
