DELEGATIONS Libby Racansky addressed Council concerning, Item # 2 of Report #1 - Amendment 77 to the Municipality of Clarington Official Plan to Incorporate the Requirements and Permissions Afforded to the Municipality as a Result of Bill 51, The Planning Conservation Land Statute Law Amendment Act, 2006, Places To Grow Act, 2005, The Greenbelt Act, 2005, The Ontario Heritage Act and The Provincial Policy Statement, 2005. Through use of a PowerPoint_ presentation, Ms. Racansky referred to specific sections of Official Plan Amendment No. 77, with respect to implications of climate change, the need to go beyond minimum standards and set -backs to protect the natural environment, the need to review street patterns to ensure public streets do not create an environmental impact on the community-and questioning why Council is requesting the Province to extend the urban boundary for employment use. Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - February 13, 2012 Ms. Racansky stated that urban design should be sustainable and urged Council to consider making changes to Clatington's Official Plan so that it reflects Bill 51 to create sustainable and healthy communities without unnecessary financial or safety impacts. Ron Armstrong, Armstrong Harrison Associates, addressed Council on behalf of Abraham Afana, Abe's Auto Recycling, concerning Item # 2 of Report #1 - Amendment 77 to the Municipality of Clarington Official Plan to Incorporate the Requirements and Permissions Afforded to the Municipality as a Result of Bill 51, The Planning Conservation Land Statute Law Amendment Act, 2006, Places To Grow Act, 2005, The Greenbelt Act, 2005, The Ontario Heritage Act and The Provincial Policy Statement, 2005. Mr. Armstrong stated Abe's Auto Recycling is currently operating as a legal non - conforming use in a residential designation at 2532 Concession Road 3 and Mr. Afana has been searching for a replacement property in Clarington to relocate the business. He noted that this relocation is now frustrated due to certain provisions of Official Plan Amendment 77. Mr. Armstrong expressed concern that a number of sections of the Official Plan will, if approved in its present form, prevent Abe's from moving to any location in Clarington unless the OPA is not revised. He stated there are unintended consequences for developers, particularly in the Northglen neighbourhood, because of the freeze imposed on the lands surrounding Abes Auto Recycling pending abandonment of the legal non - conforming industrial use of the site. Mr. Armstrong stated that he has met with staff to suggest clauses that would address these matters and requested a meeting with their Planners and Solicitors to draft suitable clauses intended to relate only to this specific situation, that would not apply to any other similar business seeking to locate in Clarington, would not be transferrable, would end the industrial use in the residential area and would require approval of the complete circulation of planning documents; however, this request was not granted as staff believe that OPA 77 is not the venue to deal with this situation. Mr. Armstrong stated his experts believe that an Official Plan Review is the appropriate time to deal with the matters. He reminded Council that Mr. Afana has shown great loyalty to the Municipality of Clarington throughout the process and there is a risk that the planned increase in employment between 100 and 125 persons will be lost to another municipality. Mr. Armstrong urged Council to refer the matter back to staff in order that staff and their consultants can draft suitable clauses to be included in OPA 77 and avoid the significant costs and time of any Ontario Municipal Board appeal. Kirk Kemp addressed Council concerning Item # 2 of Report #1 - Amendment 77 to the Municipality of Clarington Official Plan to Incorporate the Requirements and Permissions Afforded to the Municipality as a Result of Bill 51, The Planning Conservation Land Statute Law Amendment Act, 2006, Places To Grow Act, 2005, The Greenbelt Act, 2005, The Ontario Heritage Act and The Provincial Policy Statement, 2005. Mr. Kemp confirmed that he is not a partner of Mr. Armstrong and that he grew up beside the property where Abe's is located. He noted that the site did not disturb his farming business but expressed concern that now that it is designated for residential homes there will be a lot of people disappointed when they move in and realize the type of business being conducted around them. Council Meeting Minutes - 6 - February 13, 2012 Mr. Kemp stated he has difficulty understanding why it would not be better to move the business to an industrial area. Mr. Kemp suggested that staff and Council investigate a way to accommodate this business and allow it to be relocated where it can be upgraded, expanded and create jobs.

(Motion for Direction) I -1 CLARINGTON AGRICULTURAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2012 MEMBERS PRESENT: Jenni Knox (arrived 8:10) Brenda Metcalf Don Rickard Tom Barrie CARRIED Guest: Unfortunately Dr. Marceau had to -cancel out of attending last week and Dean Saucier informed us today that she was ill and unable to attend. Faye sent the schedule of meetings and invited them to attend a future meeting. Informed them the group has a number of research' ideas and ongoing research that the farmers are participating in. UOIT may have researchers who could use this information or be involved in; or there may be research projects that could benefit from a partnership with the local agricultural community. There are a number of specialty crops and micro - climatic specific topics that could be explored. Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington February.9`", 2012 Business Arising Discussion on the open house for the bridge works proposed for Cobbledick and East Townline. Open House was this afternoon and evening 4 -8 at Newcastle Community Hall. Information packages from the meeting were distributed to the group. There has been a misinterpretation of the comments of the Agriculture Advisory Committee based on the sidewalk discussion that went on at the last meeting. It was not that there should be no pedestrian or cycling access /accommodation but rather that the lanes should be wide enough to allow for farm machinery that is 18 to 20' in width. Which means the width of the bridge should be 40' rather than the 33' (10 metres) suggested. ` The current bridge has lasted 53 years the next bridge should be built to anticipate the next 60 years. The other issue from the meeting was the other EA that is occurring at the same time regarding the interchange improvements at Waverly, Liberty, Lamb's /Bennett, 35/115, Mill Street and Newtonville Road, many of these have agricultural impacts and the consultant/MTO have been scheduled to attend the May meeting of the AACC to discuss. Comments on the work that was presented are due March 1-2th; you can submit your comments directly to tyler.drygas(Durs.com Make sure when you submit your comments that you are clear which EA you are referring to. Council Referrals — None. Councillor Traill was in attendance and Gary invited Councillor Traill to address the group. Councillor Traill is the ward Councillor for Ward 3 and between Ward 3 and Ward 4 (Councillor Partner) it is the majority of the agricultural base of the Municipality. One of the items in Councillor Traill's election platform was reform of the agricultural zoning by- law. Councillor Traill indicated that the agricultural zoning has not been updated since the 1980's and believes that it could address secondary and accessory uses better. She is proposing that Planning expedite the process for updating the zoning by -law. Feedback from the agricultural community is integral to the process, it is not a minor undertaking and she would like to know the Committee's opinion. There was discussion on specific examples where a broader definition of secondary or accessory would have been beneficial to the applicants; however, there was also caution from the members of the AACC. It really goes to the definition of what is a farmer, agri- tourism where it includes value -added is generally accepted but agri - entertainment is a different issue. It is the sustainability of the best soil the members are concerned about. Accessory could be many things from grain elevators, greenhouses, mechanic shop,_ nursery, retail outlet, or horse boarding to a restaurant. When does it become industry and commercial? There was discussion on the many illegal businesses in the countryside and that just because they were not conforming did not mean they should be legalized. Discussion on some commercial operations such equipment suppliers being in agricultural zones, but their major business is the residential and commercial market. Also an understanding that if the equipment supplier were only for agriculture they most likely would not survive as a viable operation so how do you define and restrict on certain aspects. Discussion on the reuse of barn structures for other purposes to retain them as part of the landscape but repurpose them. Marlene indicated that some barns have storage while others have major factories inside (such as in Waterloo on Mennonite farms). There is a difference between secondary uses to primary agriculture and creating a use that is not currently part of the farm operations (e.g. hosting weddings). Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington - February 9th, 2012 Questions from committee members on the broader context, how the ORM plays in? Faye indicated that the ORM had an Official Plan amendment to bring the Official Plan into conformity with the Plan and then the Zoning By -law was passed to implement the O.P. policies. The ORM Zoning By -law was passed by both Council and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. It was written with the intent that when the Greenbelt conformity exercise for the Official Plan is implemented then the zoning will follow using the definitions and general provisions that are already set out in the ORM Zoning By -law. The Greenbelt Conformity exercise is underway as part of the. Official Plan review and will have to bring the existing policies into conformity with the Greenbelt Plan and Amendment 114 to the Durham Region Official Plan. Councillor Traill would like to see this process expedited to bring forward the zoning sooner, this will require a shifting of priorities in the Planning Services Department and their work schedule. Councillor Traill will be bringing forward a resolution about this to the Feb 27th GPA meeting, she wanted the committee to know what was coming as they will be consulted and are integral to the process. Further discussion on the public involvement aspects, the majority of rural residents are not involved in agriculture but will also be invited to comment. Often the uses non - agriculture rural residents want are not compatible with agriculture. When introducing new uses on or off farm in the rural areas the neighbours are affected and need to be consulted and there needs to be respect for what is in the best interests of protecting the agricultural resources (the soil) and the farm including its smells and practices (crop protection), etc. Liaison Reports DAAC — Eric provided and update on the meeting, the DAAC tour this year will be September 12th near Uxbridge,.the format will be different. There will be one location with 3 stations, more of a technology basis and also inviting suppliers, allowing people to. get into the machinery, etc. Presentation at the DAAC meeting by Legal regarding the "melding" of property if held in the same names when side by side. This can cause issues when you go to sell the property or obtain building permits, etc. Brenda provided some insights from first -hand knowledge. DRFA — No new information to report. CBOT — Sheila is working on a roundtable discussion with new Minister of Agriculture, March /April timeline. Roger Anderson luncheon on February 16th at noon at Rickard complex.

Two questions will be posed to the panel members after the presentations. The questions are "If you could change one policy what would it.be ?" "What trend gives you hope ?" Committee members provided Faye with their answers to the questions. Faye will bring her presentation to a future meeting, the focus of her presentation will be the land between Bowmanville /Newcastle as a microcosm of the failure of provincial policy to protect agriculture (whitebelt, and yet some of best agricultural land in Ontario /Canada). The high production yields of the area, innovative enterprises like Algoma, Wilmot Orchards (blueberries), Bragg Birdseed, the AACC resolution on the Official Plan and how it should address the whitebelt and maintain firm urban boundaries. Future Agendas Rick Pigeon will be requested to attend in April, to discuss building permit processes. URS /MTO has requested to attend May meeting regarding the interchanges along the 401.
