5.1 Public Meeting for a Proposed Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law
Amendment Application
Brandon Weiler, Principal Planner, made a verbal presentation to accompany an
electronic presentation.
Sami Elhajjeh spoke in opposition to the application. Sami explained that they
are fortunate to have greenspace in the area and noted that CLOCA deemed
some areas as environmentally protected. S. Elhajjeh added that the area is an
ecosystem as it has running water and is home to various animals and
amphibians. Sami provided the background of the Terrastory report regarding
the adjacent Trolleybus development. S. Elhajjeh explained that the
neighbourhood has outgrown the parkette and suggested that a parkette be
added to the Trolleybus or development, the existing Harry Gay parkette or
advising the proposed developer to add a parkette. Sami answered questions
from Members of Committee.
Scott Waterhouse, GHD, was present on behalf of the applicant. Scott provided
an overview of the application, noting the development layout and pattern
conform with the Clarington Official Plan and Hancock approved design plan. S.
Waterhouse explained that the application seeks to establish residential zoning
for two future development blocks. Scott stated that a road widening block along
Nash Road is proposed for a future right of way. S. Waterhouse displayed a
visual representation of what the future development could look like. Scott added
that the visual illustrates townhomes facing Nash Road, with no vehicle access
on Nash Road. S. Waterhouse answered questions from Members of Committee
Libby Racansky spoke in opposition to the application. Libby made a verbal
presentation to accompany an electronic presentation. L. Racansky explained
why Courtice and Darlington north of Highway 2 lands, need protection. Libby
stated that several weirs are draining the greenbelt land to the Hancock
neighbourhood and added that developers are using it to their advantage and are
deleting all tributaries within their applications. L. Rackansky explained the
difference between a normal aquifer and an unconfined aquifer and displayed a
photo to compare. Libby noted that wetlands, species, farmlands, and their wells
should be protected according to plans though it is not visible in any submissions
or plans. L. Racansky explained how the 100-year-old trees that were removed
are affecting their home and other wetlands in the area. Libby stated that there is
an influx of water after precipitation to the Hancock Neighbourhood and flooding
along the cold stream Black Creek. L. Racansky stated the first and second
application of Headgate zoning was accurate and clearly displayed that most of
Headage lands are EP zoned and added that protection was assigned for small
remains of marsh that was supported by Trolleybus in their study. Libby
explained that the tributary will be diverted to the ditch along Nash Rad which
would result in more mosquitoes.
