PART LOT 16, B.F.C., FORMER TWP. OF DARLINGTON (OUR FILE: DEV 86-85)
RECOP~IENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:

to approve same; and
3. THAT the applicant be so advised.

September 8, 1987, the following resolution was forwarded to Council for their

"1. THAT Report PD-21~-4-87 be received; and

for the Darlington Creek from the Regional storm to the 1:100 Year

3. THAT the necessary Public Meeting be advertised and scheduled for
the October 5, 1987 meeting of the General Purpose and
Administration Committee."
In consideration of the above-noted resolution and the requirements of the
Ministry of Natural Resources requiring a general Public Notice, Staff would
advise that the appropriate news advertisement was placed in the Canadian
Statesman on September 16, 1987.
As confirmed within Staff Report PD-214-87, the Conservation Authority
requested the applicant to undertake a Watershed Study to establish the 1:100
Year Floodline for the Darlington Creek. Staff would note that within the
context of the Darlington Creek Floodplain Study, the Study was to determine:
1) the impact of development on upstream flood levels;
2) the impact of utilizing storage upstream of the CNR to reduce the Regulatory
and 1:100 Year flood levels;
3) to determine the affect of Darlington Creek flood levels on the property
east of that owned by Darlington Wood Products.
The summary and conclusions of said report indicated that the 1:100 Year flood
level for Darlington Creek at the proposed site was established at 267.7 feet.
The storage upstream of the CNR would not significantly lower the regulatory
flood level. Additionally, the placement of fill would not significantly raise
the regulatory flood level. The maximum increase established as only .~ feet
(5 inches). Fourthly, the property located to the east of Darlington Wood
Products during the 1:100 Year flood would not be flooded by run-off from
Darlington Creek. It appears from discussions with the Central Lake Ontario
Conservation Authority that they are prepared to accept the Study and its
recommendations subject to approval by the Ministry of Natural Resources of the
change in the regulatory flood for this watershed.
In consideration of the above-noted comments, Staff would have no objections to
the proposed change to the Regulatory Flood Standard for the Darlington Creek.
Should Committee deem it appropriate to endorse the above-noted resolution,
Staff would note that, pending the approval of the change to the Regulatory
