THAT Report PSD-011-05 be received; 2. THAT the charts in Attachment 3 be approved as Clarington's submission of potential secondary future public interests and uses for the hydro corridor lands under the Provincial Secondary Land Use Program, 3. THAT a copy of PSD-011-05 be forwarded to the Regional Municipality of Durham to facilitate a joint municipal submission to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing; 4. THAT Council acknowledge that Clarington's resolution(s), and its submission contained in the joint submission, will be a public document and will remain on file with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing; and 5. THAT all interested parties be notified of Committee's decision. Submitted by: Reviewed by: O~~Q~ C~ fk. Franklin Wu, - Chief Administrative Officer v . Crome, M.C.I.P., R.P.P. Director of Planning Services FLlDJC/df 13 January 2005 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 611 REPORT NO.: PSD-011-05 PAGE 2 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to declare future municipal interests for public secondary uses on Provincially owned hydro corridor lands, under the Provincial Secondary Land Use Program, and obtain endorsement of these secondary uses for submission to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing vis-a-vis the Regional Municipality of Durham. The corridor lands that Hydro One has turned over to Ontario Realty Corporation in Clarington are noted in Attachment 1, the remainder of the corridors are easements over private property. 2,0 BACKGROUND The following provides a general overview of the Provincial Secondary Use Program (PSLUP) and Public Use Principles (PUPs) for municipalities, based on the literature circulated on the program to date. Bill 58 - The Reliable Energy and Consumer Protection Act, 2002 received Royal Assent in June 2002. It allowed for the ownership of approximately 50,000 acres of hydro transmission corridor lands to be transferred from Hydro One to the Province of Ontario. This transfer became effective on December 31, 2002, enabling the Province to protect contiguous corridor land as well as identify and dedicate the lands for other compatible future uses. In October 2002, Cabinet approved the Provincial Secondary Land Use Program (PSLUP). The purpose of the PSLUP is to establish a hierarchy of public use principles for the consideration of secondary uses on hydro corridor lands, and to guide the review of new secondary use applications on these lands. As an agent of the province, the Ontario Realty Corporation (ORC) notified municipalities on the PSLUP in Spring 2003. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is currently leading this provincial planning exercise to identify potential secondary uses in accordance with the public use principles. Municipalities have an opportunity to identify their public interests in the corridor lands to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing by June 1, 2005. This is referred to as the two-year municipal planning period. The PSLUP applies only to those lands previously owned by Hydro One and used for the transmission of electricity. This program does not apply to other provincially owned lands, surplus corridor lands or private lands over which Hydro One has an easement to run transmission lines (see Attachment 1). 3,0 PUBLIC USE PRINCIPLES FOR HYDRO CORRIDOR LANDS The following is the hierarchy of public use principles (PUPs) for the management of hydro corridor lands under the PSLUP: . New public uses requiring contiguous integrity of the corridor (e.g. linear uses) have priority over other uses. Land uses requiring corridor integrity might include 612 . . REPORT NO,: PSD-011-05 PAGE 3 the following examples of linear uses: roadways, bus ways, light rail, recreational trails and pipelines as well as other utilities. . New public linear uses that serve provincial or inter-regional purposes (e.g. transportation) have priority over local uses. . New non-linear public infrastructure uses have priority over private uses. Some examples of a non-linear use are: road crossings, commuter parking lots, parks and playing fields. . Multiple uses will be promoted whenever possible, especially the coexistence of surface and sub-surface uses, including storm water pipelines. . Interim uses (e.g. soccer fields or parking lots) will be allowed on contiguous corridors that may be required for future uses. . The public use principles (PUPs) state that electrical transmission has primacy of use, and linear public uses serving provincial and inter-regional purposes have priority over local uses. Any public uses, including local public uses, have priority over private uses. The PUPs not only guide the review and approval of applications for secondary land uses of the corridor lands, but also guide the long-range provincial secondary use planning exercise. The project's recommendations will be compatible with other provincial initiatives and policies such as the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, the Niagara Escarpment Plan, and the Provincial Policy Statement. A recommended plan will be produced that will identify appropriate provincial and inter-regional secondary uses compatible with transmission uses. The plan will guide the provincial management of provincially owned hydro corridors - a significant public land asset. ORC administers the application process for secondary uses on the hydro corridors. Applications are screened by ORC, and then circulated to municipalities and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The Ministry's regional Municipal Services Offices review and consolidate inter-ministerial comments on interim use applications and return the packages to ORC for final decision-making. 4,0 EXISTING PUBLIC SECONDARY USES Attachment 2 (table and map) provides the locations of existing licenses and easements on hydro corridor lands held by Clarington. Currently the lands that Clarington licenses are for the Waterfront Trail are through the Samuel Wilmot Nature Area and the Westside/Bowmanville Marsh Complex. 5.0 PROPOSED PUBLIC SECONDARY USES The Municipality has an intlst in ensuring that the requirements for access for the waterfront trail and other us! that cross corridor lands are considered. Clarington has determined its future public in erests in the hydro corridor lands, in collaboration with the ~ 613 REPORT NO.: PSD-011-05 PAGE 4 Durham Hydro Corridors Working Group. The Durham Working Group collaborated in the identification of future public interests for these lands, ensuring the public interests submitted by each local municipality are compatible with the interests submitted by the Region and Conservation Authorities. Attachment 3 (table and map) references particular lot numbers and summarizes the proposed secondary use for the hydro corridor lands. In general, our potential future uses either relate to the waterfront trail or are for future municipal works (such as roadways or storm water). 6.0 CONCLUSIONS Indicating future potential uses is not a commitment by the Municipality that we will only pursue this option. Any future licenses or crossing (e.g. road right of ways) will have to be negotiated when they are required. In the case of road rights-of-way most likely acquisition would be the preference of the Municipality rather than easement or license.
