(Receive for Information) Summary of Correspondence - 2 - July 10, 2000 1-3 Association of Municipalities of Ontario, regarding amendments to Bill 35, The Energy Competition Act, 1998, that affect municipal rate applications to the Ontario Energy Board. The Legislation, "An Act to Promote Efficiency in the Municipal Electricity Sector and to Protect Consumers From Unjustified Rate Increases," if passed, will have significant implications for those municipalities deciding to stay in the business. Many have complied with all the provisions and regulations of Bill 35 and have filed rate applications with the OEB. AMO has received a copy of the legislation, and while a full analysis is not complete, it appears that the OEB will have the authority to disallow rate increases attributable to assets, or to financing transactions and costs where these do not stay in the electricity system. The OEB will be given the power to review and ask for detailed financial data to determine whether rate increases are justifiable. It is unclear whether the Bill will be passed before the legislature rises for the summer. Notwithstanding when the Bill is passed, now or in the Fall Session, municipalities with rate increase applications will have to justify those increases. If a municipality's business plan involves the transfer of assets or cash from the utility to the municipality, then the legislation means that these business arrangements will have to be undone. (Receive for Information) I - 4 Ian D. Macnab, General Manager /Secretary - Treasurer, Kawartha Conservation Authority, advising Council that the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) has identified conservation authorities as the lead partner in the protection and management of the province's groundwater resources. As an outcome of this, MOE will shortly enter into agreements with conservation authorities across Ontario to develop and implement a groundwater monitoring network. The information collected under this program will provide necessary baseline data about the groundwater in the watershed and will provide information about ambient groundwater conditions. The data will serve the efforts of the province in its groundwater management programs and in the development of scientifically based policy. It will serve the municipalities with information on which to base planning decisions, will serve the agricultural community for its water management needs and will provide the information necessary to protect the public supply and interest. At its May 24t" meeting, the Board of Directors authorized Kawartha Conservation to participate in the groundwater monitoring agreement. The Board is in agreement with the general thrust of the monitoring program, recognizing that such monitoring is a critical component for the long term protection of the groundwater resource. At the same time however, the Board strongly believes that groundwater is a resource of provincial significance and as such, post start-up operating expenses should be provincially funded and not added to the property tax bases. Therefore, while Kawartha Conservation will enter into an agreement with MOE to monitor groundwater, the Board of Directors strongly believes the Province should provide operating funds for the long -term benefit of the program and will work with Conservation Ontario towards this end. (Receive for Information) Summary of Correspondence -3 - July 10, 2000 I - 5 Myles Brandt, Executive Raceway Director, Mosport International Raceway, regarding two complaints about noise from the Driver Development Centre (Go- Kart Track) caused by the Bridgestone Firestone Racing Academy. The people who have complained live right beside this track. Over the past three years Mosport has worked very closely with the Municipality and with the neighbours in the immediate area to deal with and accommodate all concerned. With respect to these complaints, Mosport has asked the Bridgestone /Firestone Racing Academy to install mufflers on their cars. Without hesitation, they immediately ordered the mufflers and as soon as they receive them, they will be installed. This is a pilot project initiated by Mosport hnternational Raceway and the Bridgestone /Firestone Racing Academy. (Receive for Information) I - 6 Gail Johnson, President, The Clarington Tigercats Football Club, thanking Council for their grant money.

The schedule starts in August and they are practicing already. (Receive for Information) I - 7 Antoinette Sarpong, thanking Council for the very generous grant that was given to Canada World Youth towards their international exchange programs. The cheque is being sent to the Ontario Regional Office, and she will keep in touch about the progress of her exchange to Burkina Faso. (Receive for Information) I - 8 Scott Bolton, Operations Technician, Region of Durham, advising Council that a survey of approximately 360 km of watermain is to be conducted in areas of Ajax / Pickering / Oshawa / Whitby /Courtice /Beaverton/Sunderland and Greenbank. The survey will occur in the summer of 2000 and should be complete by August 31, 2000. As part of their water system quality standards, watermains are to be surveyed for leaks every five years. Using traditional sounding and correlation or acoustic data logging techniques, the consultant "listens" for sound on direct contact points such as main line valves, fire hydrants, curb- valves, etc. There is no interruption of water service, no excavation and no traffic re- routing required. Only if a leak has been pinpointed and a repair warranted by their depot staff, would any excavation take place. (Receive for Information) Summary of Correspondence - 4 - July 10, 2000 I - 9 M. de Rond, Clerk, Town of Ajax, advising that the Town of Ajax on June 19, 2000, passed the following resolution: "THAT Council endorse the "Who Does What" Service Review Stage I Report and its recommendations (including proceeding to Stage II) from the Public Works Officials within Durham and that Durham Region be so advised of this decision and further; that the Director of Operations and Environmental Services provide Council with regular updates on the progress of Stage II."

The shelter received the ministry's entire $26,000 commitment in April. He is certain these funds will ease financial pressure at Bethesda House. The funds will also cover women and children's group counselling and the purchase of the crisis telephone counselling line, which will benefit both the shelter and outreach services. He has been advised that on May 3, 2000, the Regional Municipality of Durham approved a block fiinding process for Bethesda House, replacing the per diem funding arrangement. (Receive for Information) CORRESPONDENCE FOR DIRECTION D - 1 Donna Stephens, Chairperson, Barbecue Committee, requesting permission to hold the Enniskillen Annual Community Barbecue on Saturday, September 16, 2000, to raise money for the continuing upkeep of their building. They would like permission to have a portion of the road closed from 4:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. in order to hold a street dance. The portion of Old Scugog Road they wish to have closed is from just north of Centre Street for about 50 yards; which would be well south of the junction with Concession Road 3. Both Potters Lane and Centre Street enable traffic to bypass this section of road for the short time that they would like to use the pavement. (Motion to approve the request provided the organization applies for and obtains a Road Occupancy Permit) Summary of Correspondence - 7 - July 10, 2000 D - 2 Craig Moore, C.R.S.P., Chairperson and Al McDonald, Co- Chairperson, Oshawa and Region Health and Safety Committee, requesting Council to proclaim and participate in Health and Safety Week in Durham. As in past years, they are requesting the Mayors of Durham Region to participate in this event by: 1. proclaiming October 16 - 20, 2000 - Health and Safety Week 2. attending the Opening Ceremonies at Durham College, October 26, 2000 at 9:00 a.m. and give a two to three minute presentation Our participation in this important event would be greatly appreciated. (Motion to Proclaim) D - 3 Florence Carnochan and Robert Hackey, advising Council that they are against the issuing of any permits that would allow the existing Automotive Repair and Body Shop to be legally recognized at 3872 Courtice Road, Courtice. The reasons for this are simple: They currently rely on ground water as their main source of water, and they feel that the chances of an accidental spill that would contaminate the water table would greatly increase with the increase in business that the Body Shop would get by being legally recognized The increase in traffic would be a safety issue for the children in the area The additional lighting from a large parking lot and Business Signs would have a negative effect on the area, as this is a quiet residential area They have voiced their opinion before regarding this application on a few different occasions. They have no problem with people who wish to run a small house business, but when the business will negatively affect the area in which it is run, then it should not be allowed. (Motion to forward a copy of Council's decision in this matter) D - 4 Doug Sandercock, regarding the property owned by Schickedanz Bros. Ltd., Lot 105 and Block 143 on Plan 10M -829, Bowmanville. Mr. Sandercock and several residents of Francomb Crescent have the following concerns: • For the past 6 years this lot has contained a dilapidated construction trailer, a make shift shed and miscellaneous building materials • A large trench was dug at the back of the property, adjacent to the developed property on the north east side of the lot. The trench has been left to fill with stagnant water and breed insects • Noxious weeds are left to grow unchecked • There is also concern that construction workers are using the make shift shed as a portable out house Summary of Correspondence - 8 - July 10, 2000 Residents have complained to the owner of the property, Schickedanz Bros. Ltd. in the past and minimal solutions were offered. This spring there have been many loads of soil dumped on the property, and a large construction waste container has been placed there. They feel these latest additions have added several safety hazards to local residents, especially children. The construction water container has been full of discarded construction materials as well as household garbage, it smells foul and residents are concerned that this will attract vermin to the area. This property should not be treated as a storage area and dumping ground for the Schickedanz construction company. They feel they have been tolerant long enough. These lots should either be developed or maintained in a manner in keeping with the neighbourhood. (Motion to refer correspondence to the Senior Municipal Law Enforcement Officer) D - 5 Beth Creighton, Chair, Newcastle Arena Management Board, requesting that the Board be allowed to offer to the manager of the Newcastle Arena the coverage provided by the Group Insurance Program of the Municipality. The Board will be responsible for paying the cost of these benefits on a schedule to be agreed with municipal staff. The Board's purpose in requesting this is to be able to attract and keep a suitable manager for the Arena. (Motion to approve request) D-6 Robert Kyle, Commissioner and Medical Officer of Health, Regional Municipality of Durham requesting proclamation of Falls Prevention Week. For the third year in a row, the Work Group is planning a unified public awareness campaign for the week of October 2 — 8, 2000. Part of the campaign is requesting local mayors to proclaim /declare Falls Prevention Week in their municipalities. In addition, the campaign will include media events, interactive displays, entertainment, and education materials for seniors in the community. In 1994, Durham Region had the highest rate of falls in seniors in the Central East Region of Ontario. Indeed, falls are the leading cause of injury and the sixth leading cause of death in older adults. (Motion to Proclaim) D-7 Lise Henry -Kean submitting a letter of opposition to the revised Zoning By -law Amendment submitted by Kingsberry Properties to change the zone category of a 6.2 hectare parcel of land located in Part Lot 31, Concession 3, in the former Township of Darlington. She is opposed to the proposed zoning by -law amendment based on environmental concerns, population density, efficiency and costs, the public school block, consistency in decision making and legacy. (Motion to refer the correspondence to the Director of Planning and Development) Summary of Correspondence - 9 - July 10, 2000 D —8 Katie Clark expressing her wish to have a study done of the school crossing at the intersection of King Street E. and Beaver Street in Newcastle. As a resident of Newcastle, she has observed heavy traffic often going faster than the posted speed limit, through this school crossing. It has been her unfortunate experience that it is the rare exception when a motorist stops to allow pedestrians to cross outside of the hours when the crossing guard is there. As a mother of a young child, she is becoming increasingly concerned that one day someone will be hit trying to cross between the fast - moving cars. It is her guess that the increased traffic going to and from the new subdivision and the new IGA location on King St. E. is largely responsible for the heavy traffic. As for the speed at which vehicles travel through the school crossing, she is at a loss to explain these motorists' disregard for the safety of those attempting to cross the street. It is her hope that a traffic study would deem it appropriate and necessary to install a working crosswalk (i.e. one with traffic lights or flashing signals) at this location. Failing that, it is her request that regular radar be posted at this location as a deterrent to speeding motorists. (Motion to refer the correspondence to the Director of Public Works and to the Durham Regional Police Department, Division 16) D —9 Sylvia Brownell advising of a situation on Liberty Street North in Bowmanville. Liberty Street is now becoming a major artery to access the downtown area and to enter /exit the 401 highway. With the accelerated growth of Clarington, it was just a matter of time for this situation to explode to a dangerous situation. She is informing us of the speed of drivers on Liberty Street North. Several situations has prompted her to write this letter. Firstly was the knowledge gained that Clarington has a minimum of five Police Officers and one Sergeant on day shift. Those numbers make it difficult to answer to service calls as well as doing traffic enforcement. How can our community be properly protected? How can these Officers enforce the laws of the land? How can our Police Officers enforce the speed limits? Secondly, how can the Municipality agree to construct sidewalks very close to the road where probably only 1 in 15 people do the speed limit of 50 km /hr? One of our citizens was recently killed in the same area. It is against the law to walk on a 400 highway but it doesn't seem to be against the law to speed on Liberty Street North. Something must be done to resolve this issue or she is sad to say we are going to start losing our pedestrians /children. We have to enforce the speed limit and slow down the drivers on Liberty Street North. She is asking all residents to slow down. She is also asking for a study to be done to determine the average speed on Liberty Street North. The results of this study would indicate a situation that warrants resolve. With the future development of the Liberty Street North area, this situation is only going to get worse. Something must be done now. She has witnessed motorcycles traveling so fast on Liberty Street that she cannot determine what colour they are. Summary of Correspondence - 10 - July 10, 2000 Ms. Brownell is asking the Municipality to take the initiative to look into this situation and advise concerned residents of Liberty Street of what actions are going to be taken. (Motion to refer the correspondence to the Director of Public Works and to the Durham Regional Police Department, Division 16) D -10 Frank Hoar, Secretary, Newcastle Ratepayers Association writing concerning the condition of the grounds at the 401 and Mill Street interchange. Last year the grounds were leveled and seeded but were poorly maintained. It would be greatly appreciated if the grounds could be kept in a condition that would be a credit to the village and to the Municipality. (Motion to refer the correspondence to the Director of Public Works) D -11 Betty Irving, Secretary, Bowmanville Santa Claus Parade Committee requesting permission to hold the Community of Bowmanville Santa Claus Parade on Saturday, November 18, 2000 beginning at 10:30 a.m. As in past years, the co- operation of the Police Department, Works Department and Town Services is requested. She is also requesting a change in the parade route: the parade marshalling will start on Church Street by the old Fire Hall. The parade will end, as usual, at Memorial Park on Liberty Street. (Motion to approve the request provided the organizers apply for and obtain a road occupancy permit from the Public Works Department) D -12 Sandra Kranc, Manager of Support Services, City of Oshawa advising that City Council at the meeting held June 19, 2000 adopted the following recommendation of the Operational Services Committee: "l. THAT all -way stop controls be implemented on Cherrydown Drive on a trial basis. 2. THAT Cherrydown Drive not be closed to traffic at Townline Road South either by a physical closure or by turn prohibitions. 3. THAT a copy of the report of the Commissioner of Operational Services dated June 6, 2000, Item OS -00 -238 be forwarded to: (a) Julia Oddi, 1312 Cherrydown Drive, L1H 8C9, and she be requested to advise the other petitioners of the contents of this report and Council's resolution.

THAT the Municipality of Clarington be asked to participate with Oshawa City staff in discussions at to what might be done to divert Courtice traffic away from Cherrydown Drive and other local streets'." Ms. Kranc is requesting Council's consideration of Part 6 of the foregoing resolution. (Motion to refer the correspondence to the Director of Public Works) D -13 P. Madill, Regional Clerk advising that on June 28, 2000, Regional Council adopted the following recommendations of the Finance and Administration Committee: "a) THAT for the purposes of introducing the new Regional Commercial Development Charge, the eight area municipalities be requested to process all complete applications for commercial building permits received by a local area municipality on or before June 30, 2000 as if the building permits had been issued prior to July 1, 2000 (i.e. no Regional Commercial Development Charge be levied where a complete application including all of the necessary documentation required by the Area Municipality is submitted in a form satisfactory to the Area Municipality on or before June 30, 2000 and connections to Regional services are available); and b) THAT the eight Area Municipalities be requested to provide copies of those complete applications to the Development Approvals Division of the Regional Works Department." (Motion to refer the correspondence to the Director of Public Works) Summary of Correspondence -12- July 10, 2000 D -14 Alan Broadbent, Chairman and CEO, Avana Capital Corporation, requesting consideration and endorsement of a proposed draft called "Towards a Greater Toronto Charter ". The greater metropolitan regions across the world are the principal engines of the economy, culture, and society. This is as true in Canada, one of the most urbanized countries, as it is elsewhere. The Toronto Region generates a quarter of Canada's gross domestic product; its population is a fifth of Canada's total. That population has swelled by people coming to the Region from across Canada and around the world. The happy result is a vibrant and complicated Region with complex and varied needs. These assets of a dynamic population call out for sophisticated and specific government sensitive to such local conditions. But the current constitutional structure in Canada gives cities little control over their destinies, and limited authority to respond to the needs of their citizens. Such little authority as they enjoy can easily be under -cut or over- called by provincial and federal governments. In the Toronto Region, this means they have limited capacity to respond to the complex health needs of a diverse urban population, or to structure education to release its rich potential, or to transport it efficiently, or generally to decide how to allocate the vast resources that are generated in tax paid to the provincial and federal governments. This resulting mismatch between needs and resources affects everyone who lives or works in, or visits, the Region. It also limits their ability to flourish, which in turn hurts those other parts of Canada who depend on their success for transfers of about 6 billion currently. Mr. Broadbent is encouraging the Municipality of Clarington to: • Review The Charter, sign it and return our signatures on the tear -off form to his office; • Circulate The Charter to our colleagues, neighbours, our Board of Directors, and many others for their consideration and potential endorsement; • Visit their web site regularly to be kept informed of activities relevant to The Charter; • Host a meeting of our community or with our colleagues to discuss The Charter. They would be happy to provide a resource person who can respond to questions about the process. (A copy of the correspondence is attached to the Summary of Correspondence) (Motion for Direction) D -15 Bruce Taylor, City Cleric, The Corporation of the City of Pickering, writing to Pat Madill, Regional Cleric to advise that the City of Pickering on June 19, 2000, passed the following resolution: "l. That Report to Council MO -01 -00 concerning various governance and service delivery recommendations endorsed by Regional Council in January 2000 be received; i Summary of Correspondence -13 - July 10, 2000 2. That with respect to the governance recommendations, Pickering Council advise Regional Council that it: a. Supports a modified 2 -tier system, with a "slimmed down" Region acting as an agent of the lower tier. b. Supports potential municipal amalgamations or governance reform processes. C. Supports a review of a reduction of the number of politicians in Durham. That with respect to the "service delivery" recommendations, Pickering Council advise Regional Council that it has no additional comments at this time. 4. That Pickering Council: a. Invite the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to make an order under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, requesting the City Clerk to submit a question to Pickering electors asking if they are in favour of reducing through amalgamations, the total number of municipal governments in Durham from the current nine (including the Region) to a smaller number. b. Encourage all other area municipalities in Durham Region to make a similar request to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. 5. That a copy of this Report be forwarded to Regional Council and all other area municipalities in Durham Region." (Motion for Direction) D —16 D. A. Bentley, Deputy Clerk, Regional Municipality of Durham writing to Alan Tonks, Chair, Greater Toronto Services Board advising that at a meeting held on June 28, 2000 the Council of the Regional Municipality of Durham passed the following resolution: "WHEREAS the GTSB Act and the approved Terms of Reference for the GTSB Review prescribe the scope and content of the legislated review of the Board; AND WHEREAS a lengthy public consultation was carried out to determine the current structure and mandate of the Board; Summary of Correspondence -14- July 10, 2000 AND WHEREAS the Deloitte Consulting documents entitled `GTSB Management /Organization Review', `GTA -Wide Issues' and `GTSB Review — GTA -Wide Challenges' fail to respond to the approved Terms of Reference for the Review; ignore the direction of the Board; and set out a plan to redesign the Board as a new level of government, not to review it; AND WHEREAS the Chair of the GTSB has told the media that the review will recommend changes to governance in the 905 Regions; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: THAT Durham Regional Council supports the review of the GTSB prescribed in the GTSB Act and the Terms of Reference for the review approved by the Board March 3, 2000 and recommends that the consultants should be clearly directed to focus their attention thereto; THAT Durham Regional Council does not support the creation of a new layer of government over the GTA; THAT Durham Regional Council does not support having the GTSB review make recommendations that will interfere with or prejudice the governance discussions now occurring in Durham municipalities; AND THAT copies of this resolution be forwarded to other GTSB member municipalities seeking their support and to Mr. Alan Tonks, Chair of the Greater Toronto Services Board; and THAT the resolution of Mr. Roger Anderson, Regional Chair, Regional Municipality of Durham be endorsed."

Patti L. Barrie, A.M.C.T. Municipal Clerk cc: F. Wu, Chief Administrative Officer Department Heads Presentation to Council July 10th. 2000 Subject: Revision of By-law 2000-98 Madam Mayor, Members of Council I will start by recognizing that the duties and responsibilities of the Mayor and our Elected Representatives are many and varied. Not least on the list of responsibilities is the need to take action - perhaps in the form of By-laws, to safeguard the health, welfare and safety of the citizens of the municipality. At the same time I believe that the Mayor and our elected representatives have a duty to jealously guard our democratic rights, and civil liberties, and to ensure that we citizens are not un-necessarily,or frivolously restricted or curtailed in our day to day activities or pleasures. I am here to make representations against the adoption and promulgation of the new Municipal By- law 2000-98, which relates to the 'setting of fires in the Municipality of Newcastle' This By-law is based upon the Ontario Fire Code 388/97, para 3.6.3.4 - a single sentence which forbids open air burning, unless the fire is small, confined, supervised and used to cook food on a barbecue or grill. This regulation, as written, is un -necessarily restrictive, and in principle it should be referred back to the Ontario Fire Marshall for revision. It seems, however, that the Ontario Fire Marshall has recognised this fact, because he issued a communique, No.2000-8, dated 23rd. March 2000, in which he states that the use of an open air fireplace may be approved by the chief Fire Official; that the Ontario Fire Marshall recognises that outdoor fireplaces have certain advantages from the fire safety viewpoint, relative to the use of uncontained open fires. He states that he is aware of only one or two incidents related to the use of outdoor fireplaces, though there have been a few more cases of nuisance from smoke. He goes on to say that municipalities considering easing restrictions may want to allow a general exclusion to the permit process for open air fireplaces, based on certain conditions being met. In his Report to Council, FD -10-00, dated 6th. June 2000, our Chief Fire Officer completely ignored this Communique, and instead chose to tighten the restrictions in proposed amendments to the By- law restricting open air burning - without presenting any evidence to show that further restrictions were necessary or advisable. It is my opinion that the General Purpose Administration Committee should not have accepted the Fire Chiefs report, on the grounds that it is largely a statement of opinion not supported by factual data. Finally I want to state that both the old By-law 90-178 and the new By-law 2000-78 are widely ignored by the citizens of the municipality. In conclusion, I ask the Mayor and Members of Council to take advantage of the proposed relaxation in the Ontario Fire Marshall's Communique and to have the By-law rewritten so as to allow the use of outdoor fireplaces, subject to conditions as to maximum size, the use of wood or wood product fuels, and a requirement that the use of such fireplaces must not cause a smoke nuisance or other unwanted effects to neighbours of the user.

To this end Carl Schenk, Bowmanville, and 1, representing the Oak Ridges Moraine Trail Association, have met with you. I do feel there has been agreement throughout the talks by both parties. The proposed agree- ment would: - Allow the designation of an Oak Ridges Tmll through the Western Sector of the Forest using mainly existing trails. - Permit the recognition of the Association's membership in the forest. - Allow signage of the trail, a trail that would be open to use by other permitted parties. - Require a Special Events permit, $50.00, for any organized Association event in which participants numbered more than nine. - Be co-insured on the Association's $2 million Liability insurance policy along with the Signing of a Release. Waiver and Indemnity agreement. - Share in the maintenance and with the Association undertaking regular inspections and clean up. The trail would begin In the Wilcox road area in the west and terminate at the Forest Centre on the boundary Road between Hope and Clarington. At this point the Clarington Trail Chapter would link -up with the Hope Chapter. As the Hope Chapter may also pass through some Ganaraska Forest Land the same agreement between the Association and the Authority could involve both Chapters. We had identified a potential route but would like to take another look for possible enhance- ments. I would hope this could take place early .40 March. Carl Schenk and I have discussed the possibility of a overnight camping at the Forest Centre for bikers and bikers. Of course there would be a charge and possibly pre -registration thus keeping some control. It's something new for the Association but they would be interested. Hikers could leave Toronto, hike for two/three days, end up in Bewdley to take a bus back to Toronto, or hike back. It's something to think about possibly benefitting all. A Clarington staff report is to be before Clarington council February 15th. I understand it is a positive report as to the proposed Trail. The purpose of this letter is to setoff the launch of official negotiations. Included, for your information, are conditions set out in other negotiations as to Oak Ridges Trail endeavours. I look forward to an agreement in the best interest of all parties and for the public. Roy Forrester Clarington Chapter Chair Oak Ridges Trail Association. c% Linda Laliberte, General Manager ORTA TRAIL You will note that we have left the trail hanging in the air at the intersection of the Unopened Road Allowance between Lots 24 and 25, Concession 9 with Regional Road 20. We are hopeful that an agreement can be reached with TRT Sand and Gravel and to that end we have corresponded with the compay and held one meeting at which the Director of Public Works, Steve Vokes, was present. With approval from TRT to cross their lands we can offer a 1S kms. box trail having a wide variety of terrain and natural landscape. The use of TRT lands in no way affects their sand and gravel operation. With approval we can link the trail between Lots 24 and 25 with Sandyhook Road in Manvers Township and then to link We would like to note the following: - The Tyrone Scout group have volunteered to assist - The Durham Outdoor Club is ready to volunteer - The ORTA organization Is ready to organize a couple of work parties where needed. - Dufferin Aggregate to erect an educational sign re the aggregate Industry, picnic table in the Road Allowance between Lots 24/25, adjacent to their operation. - A Blue Bird trail also between Lot 24/25, Concession 10. - Organized hikes year round, both for the committed hiker and family groups. - Will set-up an Adopt -A -Road program for Road 20 from Hwy. 35 to Mosport Road. Opposition The Clarington Chapter In sending out over 145 mail -outs to adjacent property owners of the proposed trail received seven letters of objection. The proposed trail in total would be some 45 kilometers. Of the seven objections one was over garbage being dumped, in the past, on an unopened road in north Darlington. Two of the seven are now redundant as the proposed trail has been moved from running along side their properties. Of the remaining four they do object to the trail being routed on two small sections of Unopened Road Allowance -public lands owned by the Municipality. The ratio of objection is less than 1 in 45 as far as kilometers are concerned. It would seem that the Municipality in 1983 did set a precedent allowing the use of Allen Unopened Road Allowance for snowmobile purposes over closure and sale. Many of the same objections were brought forth by the proponent for the closure in 1983 as we hear today from the limited few over the proposed hiking trail. In some cases those objecting to the use of Unopened Road Allowance for the trail are themselves making use of the Unopened Road Allowances. Hardly fair in the long run. Roy Forrester Chair Clarington Chapter Oak Ridges Trail Association. Page 6 of 6 Clarington Policy supports Oak Ridges Trail The Clarington Official Plan in it's Natural Environment and Resource Management section states the Municipality supports the establishment of an Oak Ridges Moraine Trail System as part of the Municipality's integrated trail network. The Oak Ridges Moraine Trail Association through the local Chapter, Clarington, has been following procedure for such a trail as established by the municipality. All costs for the trail are being born by ORTA along with organiz- ing volunteer assistance. Parking Requirements The Durham Lives program undertaken this year makes note of the impor- tance of parking in attracting people to outdoor activities. It is a convenience and it is the intent of ORTA to establish such areas. These will be noted in the trail map and would include approved suitable/safe areas in the north-west of Long Sault, Sandy Hook Road, the Enterprise highway lot, maintained portion Wilcox Road as well as along boundary road with Manvers.

",livers, north of `..1 the bov. .ary July 10, 2000 Mayor Diane Hamre and Members of Council 17, I thank you again for the opportunity in addressing council at this meeting. I would like to take a couple of minutes to briefly comment on some statements or opin- ions expressed at the meeting last week relating to the proposed ORTA trail. First I would like to state "that at no time were either Mr. Ferguson or I served with a trespassing charge." Officer Finney of the Regional Police said that we had done no wrong but could have stopped and talked with Mr. and Mrs. Gould. We have always endeavored to keep within the bound of what we understood to be the road allowances. Climbing five fences to get to Mrs. Harvi's property would be next to impossible. I was encouraged when David Gould said "we have no problem with hikers." Hopefully ORTA can discourage bikers. The purpose in coming to -night is to comment on our findings since the last meeting relating to lands owned by Mrs. MacKaye which do include the western section of former Skelding Road Allowance between Concessions 8 and 9. The description and plan is included in Lot 31, Concession 9, plan IOR 1201 Part 3 and 4. The Occupancy Status for Mrs. MacKaye is noted as owner. This information is available through the Planning Department and the Tax Department of the Municipality of Clarington. This is a clear indication that the western portion of Skelding Road is indeed in private ownership being Mrs. MacKaye. Certainly she has expressed her desire that the trail not cross her property. This ORTA must recognize and without her approval we must look elsewhere. Again with the assistance of the Planning Department and the Tax Department we find the former Swamp Road that was closed and stopped up in 1979 is owned by the Municipality of Clarington. It has always been our intention to use this as a part of a looped trail with Skelding Road but it can certainly serve as the linking of the trail off Leskard Road noiYh-west to Mosport Road. It would include a section of the Skelding Road allowance that has been kept in public ownership and which is west of the MacKaye holdings and also west of Parts 1 and 2 of 1OR1201. A Swamp Road s- ry n, undertaken by M. Brown for the then Town of Newcastle. 1979 is available. There e_re advantages of using the Swamp Road over Skelding Road Allowance being that the Swamp Road has a travelled base, is in wooded areas as well as open areas and circumvents a sizeable wet area that could have required a platform walkway. Part of the trail --ii are approving to -night touches on the Central Lake Ontario Conser vation Area Lon? Caclt area. A Mr. Mike Hrynyk, Areas Superintendent, attended our Orono Informs*^ -i :-t -lm resulting in that although the Trail does not go through the area we are welr m e t,� o.se their trails for Looped Hikes with distances of 4 to 9 kilome- ters.

File PLN 22.3 Dear Mayor Harare and Councilors: We offer the following comments and concerns regarding the above-mentioned document. Our home on East Beach has been in the Savage family for approximately 30 years and we have owned property in close proximity to the waterfront on two occasions in the past in Pickering, giving us a long-standing view of Lake Ontario property. Our concerns are as follows: 1). That any mechanism that hinges on property values vis-a-vis municipal acquisition is prejudicial to our ability to obtain improvements in infrastructure. Depressed values are advantageous to the municipality, rather than the homeowner, and investment by Clarington in services such as sewers, improved watermains, roads, street lighting and other services is unlikely if the medium-term planisto remove the private, residential users. 2). That the municipal opposition to private improvements to property and housing will be further entrenched if such improvements are likely to raise the property values or reduce the acceptability of destroying modernized buildings that more completely match the current building standards and Ontario Building Code. 3). That the Strategy appears to be applied unequally to waterfront properties, i.e.: the exclusion of the Marina Villas in the environmentally sensitive marsh area and the higher -value properties on Cove Road, the recent recipients of municipal improvements. 4). That this Strategy has proceeded to this date without the opportunity for public input and that no input has been sought regarding this Strategy from the existing residential landowners. A shared partnership process with input might result in a more cooperative program being put in place, including opportunities for owners to participate in shoreline naturalization, property standards enforcement and public-private uses, where practical. -St erely, Brad and Rose Savage p PROPOSED MOTION Moved by: Seconded by: that By-law # on development charges be amended to include the definition of a planned seniors community, which would include Wilmot Creek, and that the Development Charge be based on the following densities as stated in By-law 97-223 per house type in a planned seniors community: single/mobile detached dwelling semi-detached & link townhouse unit apartment retirement home nursing home 1.7 p.p.u. 1.7 p.p.u. 1.4 p.p.u. 1.2 p.p.u. 1.0 p.p.u.

Nlon.,Jtl-ky ' 44 —�– Mayor Harare, Councillors & Staff, �J I am hoping to illustrate the impact of the Oak Ridges Trail Association's proposed route along our property. You might be asking, "Why would an innocuous group like the ORTA pose a threat to anyone? Who would not appreciate bird watchers and nature lovers?" Is this simply another case of "Not in my backyard"? After all, it's not a dump or a wrecking yard proposal. I will unfold for you, a sequence of events that has led us to not looking with absolute favour on this proposal. We have lived at 9582 Old Hwy.35 for almost 30 years in harmony with our ❑eighbours. In spite of the busy 15/35 Highway, it is a lovely wooded acreage providing quiet and tranquility. A few kilometres directly west is the Mosport Racetrack. noticeable at times, but not unmanageable. ust tc the North of us. on the 10`x' Concession, Dufferin Aggregates a few years ago, bought up this sizeable acreage. At six a.m., we can often hear banging, -.vhistles and machinery as they start up, not to mention what they :,ave done to the watertable with their deep excavations and holding "lakes When Hwv,115135 became a divided highway, a Carpool was established a few thousand yards north of our house. Neighbours formed a clean-up committee to collect the multitude of garbage that would gather. As well, since trucks are not allowed to park there, they use the areajust south of the Carpool along the side of the road, often in front of our house, and often with engines running all night, before they proceed onto the 115/35 Hwy. Southbound. Also, on the east side of our property, f ­ d snowmobiles fly across our driveway, n ing noise, dust and erosion in their wake. Q As well, the initial plans for the new 407, f / I�A°J>ss the south-east corner of our property. �s Several weeks ago, we received a letter from the MTO notifying us that plans are being considered to make Hwy.35 a divided 4 lane highway from the 115/35 Junction to Lindsay, and that, because it will mean limited access to Hwy.35, other approaches would have to be used, perhaps a road allowance or using the 115 southbound to Conc. 8 to go North to Lindsay or Peterborough. (We would no longer be able to turn North at the Junction). When we first heard of the ORTA's proposed route, our initial concern was that dirt bikes and snowmobiles soon would notice an open trail and be using it and other existing trails already on our property, one of which goes directly in front of our house. On occasion when the entrance to the trails has been visible, we have had dirt bikes, snowmobiles and horses using the trails across our property. Roy Forrester appeared before council mentioning an already well -used trail. Well, that trail meanders from private property onto the road allowance in some places. What would prevent hikers or others from continuing along the trails and onto private property, since one flows onto the other? Or would they somehow block it off. so that we could no longer use the existing trail? This road allowance is further complicated by the fact that there are no fence lines on both sides of the road allowance, but the existing fence jogs from one side to the other, and in some cases is non-existent, making it difficult to actually follow . So now, no matter how altruistic a project this trail might be, perhaps you can understand why we might view with less than enthusiasm another intrusion on the last remaining private boundary on our property.It was the last straw! The straw that broke the camel's back! One's private property, especially when challenged, is always a very sensitive issue, to be handled as such, and I'm sure, as the individual members of the ORTA would no doubt like their property matters settled.It has been the insensitive approach of the ORTA to private property and property owners that has shocked and surprised us. Simply asking permission to be on private property would have gone far to allay our worries. Embarrassing property owners at social gatherings, singling them out as trail opposers, has not endeared the cause to them. Mayor Hamre, I will respond to your Quote that it is the "fear of the unknown" that worries people, by saying ,"In fact, in this case, it is actually the fear of the known that concerns us. We know how this was handled by the ORTA. How can we expect them to respect us and our properties, and e Coue-�Q L. Prc jO�Kt / 3 -?

A number of concerns were raised in these discussions. I have talked to Bin Newell and together we came up with some new wordings for the Strategy that address the concerns raised. The attached motion, which will be made by myself and seconded by Councillor Mary Novak is attached. There are some concerns about a public consultation process as well. That issue is separate from this wording, and should use the new wording as a framework for discussion. I would be willing to support any motion regarding public consultation, but feel that this new wording is important and needs to be changed tonight. There is no reason to table the process. I went down to West and East Beach this afternoon and presented my proposal to the residents. They were pleased with the new wording. I hope that Council will support this motion tonight.

Sincerely. 1 Fat pingle �L 54 West Beach Road B u w trran ville. Ontario June 10, 2000 Madame mayor, members of council and staff. RE: PD -072-00. Land Acquisition StreteLv I am speaking on behalf of residents from West Beach. East Beach and Bond Head regarding their concerns and questions relating to the Land Acquisition Strategy. With respect to Page 5 section 2.32: 1. Paragraph 5 recommends that properties be acquired as they become available through first right of refusal to be registered on title and failing that a shift in strategv to one of expropriation This document has caused excess anxiety, fear and anger. We stronglv disagree with expropriation and request that anv reference to expropriation be removed from the acquisition stmtegv. In February 1996. Mayor Hamre sent a report back to Mr. Wu, then Director of Planning, due to references to expropriation. Mayor Hamrc stated that "Clarington docs not expropriate' and was unanimously supported by council. We urge the Mayor and council to maintain this stand. 2. First Right of Refusal registered on title We disagree with registration of first tight of refusal on title due to the fact that this will depreciate the Property value, as potential buyers would be ]cent of purchasing a property subject to this restrictive clause t" " ditial 7ftr the future the municipality may not want nor be able to purchase the nm� -- also eliminate the option of leaving the property to family members. Last but r can only purchase land at appraised value. Appraised value is often less than d �7During the period from 1995 to the present, the Municipality has purchased 8 pr addition to 2 properties prior to 1995. All of these properties have been acquire process Selling ones property to the municipality is a an attractive option to sot following reasons: • No real estate commissions • Flexible closing date • Guaraniccd1mancing • No conditions We respcctfully submit that this volumaty process be continued and that council seeks legal advice with respect to purchasing properry at market value as opposed to appraised value. 3. We request that tunclincs be removed from the stmtcgv as this will adversely affect the property value and subject residents to years of wont and concern. 4. Paragraph 4 refers to Wcst Bczch properry as being located in a "Damage Ccutrc". TJtc last of5cial plan refers to the shoreline areas as `Regulatory Shoreline Area". All property owners comply with CLOCA regulation by entering into Safe Harrnlcss Agreements to be registered on title and build according to CLOCA specifications. We request that this terminology be changed to `Regulatory 9 Shorchue Area, CLOCA are seeking public input on this subject We request that the municipality / ask CLOCA to refer to the beach area as it is listed in the official plan Presentation to Council July 10th. 2000 Subject: Revision of By-law 2000-98 Madam Mayor, Members of Council I will start by recognizing that the duties and responsibilities of the Mayor and our Elected Representatives are many and varied. Not least on the list of responsibilities is the need to take action - perhaps in the form of By-laws, to safeguard the health, welfare and safety of the citizens of the municipality. At the same time I believe that the Mayor and our elected representatives have a duty to jealously guard our democratic rights, ar' """ "lat we citizens are not un-necessarily,or frivolously restricted or cu s or pleasures. I am here to make representations against the r ( �// : new Municipal By- law 2000-98, which relates to the 'setting of fire: // e' This By-law is based upon the Ontario Fire Cod le sentence which forbids open air burning, unless the fire is small ��QJ to cook food on a barbecue or grill. This regulation, as written, is i principle it should be referred back to the Ontario Fire Marshall for rewsiun. it semis, IIUWUVCI, plat the Ontario Fire Marshall has recognised this fact, because he issued a communique, No.2000-8, dated 23rd. March 2000, in which he states that the use of an open air fireplace may be approved by the chief Fire Official; that the Ontario Fire Marshall recognises that outdoor fireplaces have certain advantages from the fire safety viewpoint, relative to the use of uncontained open fires. He states that he is aware of only one or two incidents related to the use of outdoor fireplaces, though there have been a few more cases of nuisance from smoke. He goes on to say that municipalities considering easing restrictions may want to allow a general exclusion to the permit process for open air fireplaces, based on certain conditions being met. In his Report to Council, FD -10-00, dated 6th. June 2000, our Chief Fire Officer completely ignored this Communique, and instead chose to tighten the restrictions in proposed amendments to the By- law restricting open air burning - without presenting any evidence to show that further restrictions were necessary or advisable. It is my opinion that the General Purpose Administration Committee should not have accepted the Fire Chiefs report, on the grounds that it is largely a statement of opinion not supported by factual data. Finally I want to state that both the old By-law 90-178 and the new By-law 2000-78 are widely ignored by the citizens of the municipality. In conclusion, I ask the Mayor and Members of Council to take advantage of the proposed relaxation in the Ontario Fire Marshall's Communique and to have the By-law rewritten so as to allow the use of outdoor fireplaces, subject to conditions as to maximum size, the use of wood or wood product fuels, and a requirement that the use of such fireplaces must not cause a smoke nuisance or other unwanted effects to neighbours of the user.

Electrofishing is just one of the data collection techniques completed at each of the sites and involves the use of a backpack unit that emits an electric current into the water. The electrical shock stuns fish long enough for them to be netted and placed in a special storage unit. The shock is not harmful to the fish and the storage reduces the level of stress experienced by the fish. The fish revive in a few seconds and are then grouped according to species, measured, counted and released. This program involves two Field Crews that will be studying 55 sites to gather data for the Oshawa Creek Watershed Aquatic Resource Management Plan (ARMP). .11 (Received for Information) Council Minutes 6 June 26, 2000 COMMUNICATIONS 1-2 006.NE Minutes of the Newcastle Community Hall Board dated May 15, 2000- (Received for Information) 1-3 E05.GE Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, advising Council that Canada's nuclear regulator has a major make -over with the launch of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). The new federal agency replaces the Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB), which served Canada for more than half a century. The Commission's creation follows the coming into force of the Nuclear Safety and Control Act on May 31, 2000. The new act replaces the Atomic Energy Control Act adopted in 1946. The revamped law and regulations represent the first major overhaul of Canada's nuclear regulatory regime since the AECB was established in the Post-war period. The new legislation reflects the increased focus on health, safety, security and environmental protection in recent years. The new regulations under the Nuclear Safety and Control Act are in keeping with current legal, financial, and technical standards. Every effort is being made to ensure a smooth transition to the new regime. The more than 4,000 nuclear licences administered by the Commission will be progressively revised. There is a phase-in period for some provisions of the new act and regulations for a period of six months to two years. These temporary exemptions will not pose a risk to health, safety, security or the environment. (Received for Information) 1 - 4 C06.AN Minutes of the Animal Advisory Committee dated May 10. 2000.

(Received for Information) 1-9 Association of Municipalities of Ontario, regarding a comprehensive action plan for protecting drinking water. The Plan calls for action on Drinking Water three fronts: distribution, dealing with sources, and defining and M06.GE clarifying responsibilities. AMO has called for an immediate tripartite partnership which will accelerate and enhance federal and provincial infrastructure investment using the increased surpluses they are core infrastructure needs as well as a change to the requirement for pexperiencing. AMO is looking for a shift in funding priorities to focus on sector dollars since this may not be possible for many parts of Ontaririvate o. In order to deal with quantity and quality issues, the Plan looks for a comprehensive, sustainable water management strategy. The strategy must encompass, among other matters, strong planning principles to protect sources and must involve province -wide mapping and the monitoring of underground water resources ancl,Zhp development of information systems that support effective decision making. Council Minutes I 1 June 26. 2000 COMMUNICATIONS The authority for implementing nutrient management strategies and the reaffirmation of the provincial interest in effective drainage management are critical to ensuring safe water. Defining and clarifying responsibilities requires a comprehensive water protection policy and legislation with enforceable water protection regulations.

F22•DE advising Council that pursuant to the Municipality of Clarington's announcement that we intend to review and possibly increase the current Development Charges By-law by $1700.00, members of Durham Region Home Builders' Association has grave concerns with the impacts of the Proposed increase. The Association understands the need for municipal facilities, but is also the voice of the Residential Construction in Durham Region, and as such they are concerned that such a large increase in Development Charges will have a negative impact on residential growth and overall assessment growth. These increases will eventually be passed onto their customers, but before that happens developers and builders will have to finance projects with funds out of their own or borrowed resources; and that could possibly lead to the cancellation of current Proposed developments. Increases in pricing will push the price of a new home in Clarington to the point that they will no longer be competitive with Oshawa and surrounding areas. These increases could also make the difference between a family deciding to purchase or to rent. Let us not forget that we are all working for our customer, whether they be a purchaser or tax payer. The Association maintains that any increase would be detrimental to future growth in Clarington, but understands that there are pressures in Clarington to provide these facilities. Therefore they would purpose the following: I • Reduce the proposed increase by one third or approximately $570.00 per single family dwelling and proportionate reductions for other unit types 2• Phase the reduced increase over three (3) years at increments of one third 3• Cap the increase at the amount as reduced by one third for the duration of the By-law.

This new technology, developed by P03.GE Pelmorex Communications Inc., could represent a major step forward in both emergency and environmental preparedness in our area. This new Canadian technology, the All Channel Alert (ACA) system, would allow authorized government agencies to quickly alert cable television viewers to unexpected or imminent threats to life or property. Initially, the system would transmit severe weather-related warnings from Environment Canada, but eventually municipal authorities would be able to access the system to alert citizens to other types of emergencies in the local viewing area, such as industrial accidents or local flooding. There will be no fee for use of this service by authorized government users. Council Minutes 1 7 June 26, 2000 COMMUNICATIONS The technology can intercept ALL channels distributed by cable companies in the local area affected by the emergency and overlay a warning message on the television screen. It is a quick and efficient way for information to be relayed to Canadians and it complements other more traditional means of receiving such information. Remarkably, Canada has no such national emergency alert system. While these types of alerts have been available for years in the United States, there is no similar service in Canada. They have applied to the CRTC to amend their broadcasting license in order to provide the ACA service. That process is well underway, and they anticipate that the CRTC will render its decision late this summer.

(Receive for Information) Summary of Correspondence - 2 _ July 10, 2000 1-3 Association of Municipalities of Ontario, regarding amendments to Bill 35, The Energy Competition Act, 1998, that affect municipal rate applications to the Ontario Energy Board. The Legislation, "An Act to Promote Efficiency in the Municipal Electricity Sector and to Protect Consumers From Unjustified Rate Increases," if passed, will have significant implications for those municipalities deciding to stay in the business. Many have complied with all the provisions and regulations of Bill 35 and have filed rate applications with the OEB. AMO has received a copy of the legislation, and while a full analysis is not complete, it appears that the OEB will have the authority to disallow rate increases attributable to assets, or to financing transactions and costs where these do not stay in the electricity system. The OEB will be given the power to review and ask for unclear whether the Bill will be passed before the legislature rises for the summer. detailed financial data to determine whether rate increases are justifiable. Itis Notwithstanding when the Bill is passed, now or in the Fall Session, municipalities with rate increase applications will have to justify those increases. If a municipality's business plan involves the transfer of assets or cash from the utility to the municipality, then the legislation means that these business arrangements will have to be undone. (Receive for Information) I - 4 Ian D. Macnab, General Manager/Secretary-Treasurer, Kawartha Conservation Authority, advising Councilthatthe Ministry of the Environment identified conservation authorities as the lead partner in the protection and as management of the province's groundwater resources. As an outcome of this, ' MOE will shortly enter into agreements with conservation authorities across b Ontario to develop and implement a groundwater monitoring network. The information collected under this program will provide necessary baseline data about the groundwater in the watershed and will provide information about ambient groundwater conditions. The data will serve the efforts of the province in its groundwater management programs and in the development of scientifically based policy. It will serve the municipalities with information on which to base planning decisions, will serve the agricultural community for its water management needs and will provide the information necessary to protect the public supply and interest. At its May 24`h meeting, the Board of Directors authorized Kawartha Conservation to participate in the groundwater monitoring r agreement. The Board is in agreement with the general thrust of the monitoring Program, recognizing that such monitoring is a critical component for the long term protection of the groundwater resource. At the same time however, the Board strongly believes that groundwater is a resource of provincial significance and as such, post start-up operating expenses should be provincially funded and not added to the property tax bases. Therefore, while Kawartha Conservation will enter into an agreement with MOE to monitor groundwater, the Board of Directors strongly believes the Province should provide operating funds for the long-term benefit of the program and will work with Conservation Ontario towards this end.

(Motion to refer the correspondence to the Director of Planning and Development) Summary of Correspondence -9- July 10, 2000 D —8 Katie Clark expressing her wish to have a study done of the school crossing at the intersection of King Street E. and Beaver Street in Newcastle. As a resident of limit, through this school crossing. It has been her unfortunate experience that iNewcastle, she has observed heavy traffic often going faster than the posted speted is the rare exception when a motorist stops to allow pedestrians to cross outside t the hours when the crossing guard is there. As a mother of a young child, she is of becoming increasingly concerned that one day someone will be hit trying to cross between the fast-moving cars. It is her guess that the increased traffic going to and from the new subdivision and the new IGA location on King St. E. is largely responsible for the heavy traffic. As for the speed at which vehicles travel through the school crossing, she is at a loss to explain these motorists' disregard for the safety of those attempting to cross the street. It is her hope that a traffic study would deem it appropriate and necessary to install a working crosswalk (i.e, one with traffic lights or flashing signals) at this location. Failing that, it is her request that regular radar be posted at this location as a deterrent to speeding motorists. (Motion to refer the correspondence to the Director of Public Works and to the Durham Regional Police Department, Division 16) D —9 Sylvia Brownell advising of a situation on Liberty Street North in Bowmanville. Liberty Street is now becoming a major artery to access the downtown area and to enter/exit the 401 highway. With the accelerated growth of Clarington, it was just a matter of time for this situation to explode to a dangerous situation. She is informing us of the speed of drivers on Liberty Street North. Several situations has prompted her to write this letter. Firstly was the knowledge gained that Clarington has a minimum of five Police Officers and one Sergeant on day shift. Those numbers make it difficult to answer to service calls as well as doing traffic enforcement. How can our community be properly protected? How can these Officers enforce the laws of the land? How can our Police Officers enforce the speed limits? Secondly, how can the Municipality agree to construct sidewalks very close to the road where probably only 1 in 15 people do the speed limit of 50 km/hr? One of our citizens was recently killed in the same area. It is against the law to walk on a 400 highway but it doesn't seem to be against the law to speed on Liberty Street North. Something must be done to resolve this issue or she is sad to say we are going to start losing our pedestrians/children. We have to enforce the speed limit and slow down the drivers on Liberty Street North. She is asking all residents to slow down. She is also asking for a study to be done to determine the average speed on Liberty Street North. The results of this study would indicate a situation that warrants resolve. With the future development of the Liberty Street North area, this situation is only going to get worse. Something must be done now. She has witnessed motorcycles traveling so fast on Liberty Street that she cannot determine what colour they are. Summary of Correspondence 10- July 10, 2000 Ms. Brownell is asking the Municipality to take the initiative to look into this situation and advise concerned residents of Liberty Street of what actions are going to be taken. (Motion to refer the correspondence to the Director of Public Works and to the Durham Regional Police Department, Division 16) D-10 Frank Hoar, Secretary, Newcastle Ratepayers Association writing concerning the condition of the grounds at the 401 and Mill Street interchange. Last year the grounds were leveled and seeded but were poorly maintained. It would be greatly appreciated if the grounds could be kept in a condition that would be a credit to the village and to the Municipality. (Motion to refer the correspondence to the Director of Public Works) D-11 Betty Irving, Secretary, Bowmanville Santa Claus Parade Committee requesting permission to hold the Community of Bowmanville Santa Claus Parade on Saturday, November 18, 2000 beginning at 10:30 a.m. As in past years, the co-operation of the Police Department, Works Department and Town Services is requested. She is also requesting a change in the parade route: the parade marshalling will start on Church Street by the old Fire Hall. The parade will end, as usual, at Memorial Park on Liberty Street. (Motion to approve the request provided the organizers apply for and obtain a road occupancy permit from the Public Works Department) D-12 Sandra Kranc, Manager of Support Services, City of Oshawa advising that City Council at the meeting held June 19, 2000 adopted the following recommendation of the Operational Services Committee: 1. THAT all -way stop controls be implemented on Cherrydown Drive on a trial basis. 2.

Madill, Regional Clerk advising that on June 28, 2000, Regional Council adopted the following recommendations of the Finance and Administration Committee: "a) THAT for the purposes of introducing the new Regional Commercial Development Charge, the eight area municipalities be requested to process all complete applications for commercial building permits received by a local area municipality on or before June 30, 2000 as if the building permits had been issued prior to July 1, 2000 (i.e. no Regional Commercial Development Charge be levied where a complete application including all of the necessary documentation required by the Area Municipality is submitted in a form satisfactory to the Area Municipality on or before June 30, 2000 and connections to Regional services are available); and b) THAT the eight Area Municipalities be requested to provide copies of those complete applications to the Development Approvals Division of the Regional Works Department." (Motion to refer the correspondence to the Director of Public Works) Summary of Correspondence - 12 - July 10, 2000 D -14 Alan Broadbent, Chairman and CEO, Avana Capital Corporation, requesting consideration and endorsement of a proposed draft called "Towards a Greater Toronto Charter". The greater metropolitan regions across the world are the principal engines of the economy, culture, and society. This is as true in Canada, one of the most urbanized countries, as it is elsewhere. The Toronto Region generates a quarter of Canada's gross domestic product; its population is a fifth of Canada's total. That population has swelled by people coming to the Region from across Canada and around the world. The happy result is a vibrant and complicated Region with complex and varied needs. These assets of a dynamic population call out for sophisticated and specific government sensitive to such local conditions. But the current constitutional structure in Canada gives cities little control over their destinies, and limited authority to respond to the needs of their citizens. Such little authority as they enjoy can easily be under -cut or over- called by provincial and federal governments. In the Toronto Region, this means they have limited capacity to respond to the complex health needs of a diverse urban population, or to structure education to release its rich potential, or to transport it efficiently, or generally to decide how to allocate the vast resources that are generated in tax paid to the provincial and federal governments. This resulting mismatch between needs and resources affects everyone who lives or works in, or visits, the Region. It also limits their ability to flourish, which in turn hurts those other parts of Canada who depend on their success for transfers of about 6 billion currently. Mr. Broadbent is encouraging the Municipality of Clarington to: • Review The Charter, sign it and return our signatures on the tear -off form to his office; • Circulate The Charter to our colleagues, neighbours, our Board of Directors, and many others for their consideration and potential endorsement; • Visit their web site regularly to be kept informed of activities relevant to The Charter; Host a meeting of our community or with our colleagues to discuss The Charter. They would be happy to provide a resource person who can respond to questions about -the -process. (A copy of the correspondence is attached to the Summary of Correspondence) (Motion for Direction) D-15 Bruce Taylor, City Clerk, The Corporation of the City of Pickering, writing to Pat Madill, Regional Clerk to advise that the City of Pickering on June 19, 2000, passed the following resolution: 11 1. That Report to Council MO -01-00 concerning various governance and service delivery recommendations endorsed by Regional Council in January 2000 be received; Summary of Correspondence -13 - July 10, 2000 2. That with respect to the governance recommendations, Pickering Council advise Regional Council that it: a. Supports a modified 2 -tier system, with a "slimmed down" Region acting as an agent of the lower tier. b. Supports potential municipal amalgamations or governance reform processes. C. Supports a review of a reduction of the number of Politicians in Durham. That with respect to the "service delivery" recommendations, Pickering Council advise Regional Council that it has no additional comments at this time. That Pickering Council: a. Invite the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to make an order under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, requesting the City Clerk to submit a question to Pickering electors asking if they are in favour of reducing through amalgamations, the total number of municipal governments in Durham from the current nine (including the Region) to a smaller number. b• Encourage all other area municipalities in Durham Region to make a similar request to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. 5. That a copy of this Report be forwarded to Regional Council and all other area municipalities in Durham Region." (Motion for Direction) D —16 D. A. Bentley, Deputy Clerk, Regional Municipality of Durham writing to Alan Tonks, Chair, Greater Toronto Services Board advising that at a meeting held on June 28, 2000 the Council of the Regional Municipality of Durham passed the following resolution: "WHEREAS the GTSB Act and the approved Terms of Reference for the GTSB Review prescribe the scope and content of the legislated review of the Board; AND WHEREAS a lengthy public consultation was carried out to determine the current structure and mandate of the Board; Summary of Correspondence - 14 - July 10, 2000 AND WHEREAS the Deloitte Consulting documents entitled `GTSB Management/Organization Review', `GTA -Wide Issues' and `GTSB Review — GTA -Wide Challenges' fail to respond to the approved Terms of Reference for the Review; ignore the direction of the Board; and set out a plan to redesign the Board as a new level of government, not to review it; AND WHEREAS the Chair of the GTSB has told the media that the review will recommend changes to governance in the 905 Regions; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: THAT Durham Regional Council supports the review of the GTSB prescribed in the GTSB Act and the Terms of Reference for the review approved by the Board March 3, 2000 and recommends that the consultants should be clearly directed to focus their attention thereto; THAT Durham Regional Council does not support the creation of a new layer of government over the GTA; THAT Durham Regional Council does not support having the GTSB review make recommendations that will interfere with or prejudice the governance discussions now occurring in Durham municipalities; AND THAT copies of this resolution be forwarded to other GTSB member municipalities seeking their support and to Mr. Alan Tonks, Chair of the Greater Toronto Services Board; and THAT the resolution of Mr. Roger Anderson, Regional Chair, Regional Municipality of Durham be endorsed."

These items include: display booth from D. Lovekin; information on participating in the Maplefest, Applefest, June sidewalk sale, Santa Claus parade, school fun fairs, photographs for the display booth, web page on municipality's website, spring and fall nature hikes, and a hike/information for teachers in Clarington. A spring hike will be held on April 29. There will be two walks, one from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and the other from 1:00 p.m. to 3.00 p.m. These are rain or shine walks. Additional details will be presented to the committee at the next meeting. Technical Committee Guy Morey will follow up concerning the cost of shrubs for spring planting. The committee was advised that a proposal for protection enhancement funding will be submitted and Terry, with assistance from the Technical committee, will develop the proposal to include aquatic plantings.

Sub committees need to identify their needs for volunteers. A report will be submitted to the March meeting. Miscellaneous The committee discussed the matter of establishing trails in the Nature Area. While the consultants report is some assistance there is still a need for further investigation and information. Of concern to committee members was the issue of trying to complete planting activities before the trails are installed. In some areas there will be a need to install certain species along the trails to ensure visitors stay in designated areas. The installation of trails will be a costly item and there needs to be an action plan to raise the required funds. The specific technical information related to the construction of trails will be required. The technical committee with the assistance of Ed will review the standards required by the municipality in building trails. Issues such as long term maintenance and liability have a direct impact on the materials used and construction of the trails. A report will be made at the next committee meeting. The next regular meeting date is March 21 2000 The meeting adjourned at 8:46 p.m. on a motion by C. Trim and T. Rance.

Business Arising from the minutes of the February 22 meetin 2. Wilmot Adult Community Representative Ed Belsey advised the committee that an application to approve the appointment of Ken Bray and the resignation of Brenton Rickard would be submitted to Council for their approval. Scout Trees for Canada plants & May 7 planting — Munici al staff Mark Wright will be following up with a supplier for the planting materials for the Scouts to use at the site on May 7. Ed Belsey reported that the municipality does not have a set Policy concerning the number of staff members required when community volunteers are engaged in work activities. Based on the number of expected participants Ed will arrange for the appropriate number staff to be on hand on May 7. Wilmot Newsletter The Public Relations committee reported on the newsletter progress. It is anticipated that the first issue will be ready for printing by the end of March. Ed Belsey will provide information concerning the cost of printing in colour versus black and white I-12 -2 - Secondary School Students Community Involvement Program Secondary School reform has mandated that all secondary students must perform volunteer community work as part of their diploma requirements. The Municipality determined that to address liability concerns municipal staff members must be present during any work performed at the nature area by volunteers. Specific requirements for staffing will depend on the nature of the activity and the number of volunteers being used. Ed will assist in coordinating our requirements with the appropriate municipal department. Visit by the Minister of Natural Resources Willi Woo reported that confirmation has been received that the Minister will be visiting on Friday, April 28 at 2 p.m. The Public Relations Committee will arrange for media coverage and communications for his visit in conjunction with the Minister's office. It is expected that a photo opportunity, to include the planting of a tree at the site, will be part of the Minister's visit. Willi will be following up with the Mayor's office and John O'Toole's office concerning the visit and provide more details at the next meeting. Earth Week Activities during the week of April 24 Jim Daignault, a teacher at Clarke High School has agreed to provide students during the week to assist with plantings at the site. There are still a number of unresolved issues concerning this activity. Terry will follow up with Mark Wright. Fund Raising Ed Belsey reported that regulations concerning raffles and lotteries must comply with Municipal and Provincial bylaws and regulations. Obtaining a raffle license from the municipality is a well-defined process and generally no problem to obtain a license. Lotteries are governed by provincial and municipal requirements that involve detailed applications and specific regulations. It is also likely that a lottery involving substantial dollars would require the approval of council. Any consideration of a lottery would require extensive planning and research. Parking Lot/Trail Head Sign Cobbledick Road There was discussion concerning the approved parking lot on Cobbledick Road. Committee members still question the appropriateness of the Cobbledick location as being the best. Ed will review the issue and also attempt to establish the date of construction for the parking lot. The Trailhead sign design had previously been reviewed and approved by the committee but had not been ordered. Ed will proceed with ordering the sign. -3- SPI-inSPI-ing Nature Area Hike on A ril a There will be two hikes on Saturday, April 29. a.m. and the second from 1 P The first one will be from 9 a. m.

The event will start at approximately 10:00 a.m. Visit by the Minister of Natural Resources The Minister will be visiting on Friday, April 28 at 2 p.m. Because the Newcastle Community Centre costs $200 for the use of the hall for a reception it was decided that the reception would be held at the Municipal offices in Bowmanville following the site visit.

There is a minimum of 3 weeks required for delivery Once the sign has been received it will be installed at the parking lot location by municipal staff. Discussions concerning a ceremony to unveil the sign and recognize the contribution of the Newcastle Lions Club will be held at the May 16 meeting.

As the committee has no monies available to undertake this initiative it was suggested that they be considered at a later date. Trail Installation Carl Schenk explained that the Technical Committee has been meeting to review and discuss issues related to the potential installation of trails and other physical work required at the site. Carl emphasized the importance of using the Management Plan prepared by the consultants to drive the process. He also stressed the need for the committee to review the technical objectives and prioritize work at the site based on this total review. The technical committee will prepare a recommendation for the management committee to consider at the May meeting. -3 - Trail Installation (continued) A question of when the committee needs to spend the $22,000 received from the Ministry last years was raised.

This is as true in Canada, one of the most urbanized countries, as it is elsewhere. The Toronto Region generates a quarter of Canada's gross domestic product; its Population is a fifth of Canada's total. That population has swelled by people coming to the Region from across Canada and around the world. The happy result is a vibrant and complicated Region with complex and vaned needs. These assets of a dynamic Population call out for sophisticated and specific government sensitive to such local conditions. ® But the current constitutional structure in Canada gives cities little control over their destinies, and limited authority to respond to authority as thethe needs of their citizens. Such little governments. y enjoy can easily be under -cut or over -called by provincial and federal In the Toronto Region, this means we have limited capacity to respond to the complex health needs of a diverse urban population, or to structure education to release its rich potential, or to transport it efficiently, or generally to decide how to allocate the vast resources that are generated in tax paid to the provincial and federal governments. This resulting mismatch between needs and resources affects everyone who IN� :n works in, or visits, the Region. It also limits our ability to flourish, which in u77Cita those other parts of Canada who depend on our success for transfers of abou{ `;1ig5, ' currently. ..__._ ._.... Enclosed is a proposal drafted over the last year by hundreds of citizens which I am sending to you for your consideration and endorsement. It is Greater Toronto Charter, and is the result of a citizen -initiated process to the Toronto Region to gain greater control over its destiny.

Our intent is to encourage the people of the Region to consider how we might be better equipped to take advantage of the opportunities, and address the challenges, that face us. I would encourage you to: • review The Charter, sign it and return your signature on the tear -off form to this office; • circulate The Charter to your colleagues, neighbours, your Board of Directors, and many others for their consideration and potential endorsement; • if you have access to the internet, visit http://www.torontocharter.com/ regularly to be kept informed of activities relevant to The Charter. • If you can, host a meeting of your community or with your colleagues to discuss The Charter.

I appreciate your interest in and support for this initiative. Sincerely— Alan Broadbent Chairman and CEO Avana Capital Corporation Towards a Ireaterr Doronto(Pharter A DECLARATION FOR THE GREATER TORONTO REGION, S1 ned in support ofgreater Cocaf autonomy to ensure the Region's continued prosperity and effective governance. DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES c9n a democratic society, the people create governments to secure a peaceful and ordered future, and to provide Opportunities for citizens to flourish and prosper so they may raise families, nurture children, nourish mind and body, and grow old in conditions of dignity, tolerance, and harmony. Two fundamental principles of democracy ensure that governments remain effective and responsive. The first Principle is subsidiarity. This means that to the greatest extent possible, all governmental activity (such as policy development, program and service management, and delivery) should be exercised by the administration that is closest to the people. The second principle is fiscal accountability. This means that the government that spends taxpayers' money on goods and services is the same government that sets the policies and then raises the requisite money, as directly as possible. Subsidiarity and fiscal accountability enable citizens to hold their elected representatives accountable. Governments must be able to manage both sides of the ledger in areas for which they are charged with primary responsibility: revenue and expenditure. In cases in which it is essential to ensure a minimum standard across a province or across the country, the principles of subsidiarity or fiscal accountability may be set aside in favour of policies, delivery responsibilities, and fiscal resources that have been cooperatively developed. THE GREATER TORONTO REGION Phe Greater Toronto Region exists as an inter- dependent, integrated complex of communities each with its own social, economic, cultural, and civic traditions. Begun as a settlement of the first people of the continent, successive waves of immigrants have resulted in the Greater Toronto Region becoming a dynamic urban region of sustaining diversity. Across the Greater Toronto Region there is a richness of economic activity, race and ethnicity, cultural vitality, civic engagement, and generosity Of spirit: there is more that unites citizens than divides them. From the great escarpment of Niagara and along the ancient arc of the Oak Ridges Moraine, to the northern shore of Lake Ontario's deep waters, the citizens of the Greater Toronto Region are engaged in a vibrant struggle to build a great community. The Greater Toronto Region accounts for over twenty percent of Canada's Gross Domestic Product and an even higher proportion of its economic growth. At the beginning of the twenty-first century the Region has grown so large and complex that its present form of government, which was devised when the scale, intricacy, and economic importance of Canadian urban regions of today were unimaginable, needs to be empowered to provide the leadership, planning, and service delivery the Region requires. THE GREATER TORONTO CHARTER URBAN METROPOLITAN REGIONS IN CANADA (Panada's urban regions, particularly the metropolitan areas, are of critical importance to its continued prosperity and vitality and, as such, are obliged to continue to share their wealth, innovation, and other assets, with the rest of Canada. These regions need governance arrangements that allow them to continue to share their prosperity and vitality with the rest of the country, as well as compete with other urban areas around the world, for the benefit of all Canadians. WHAT THE GREATER TORONTO REGION NEEDS Dhe Greater Toronto Region must meet the needs of a diverse, expanding population. Elsewhere around the world, urban vitality has been preserved and enhanced because urban regions have the degree of self- government needed to ensure that they flourish within their countries. Self-government helps ensure that local priorities are respected within strategies that unleash the collective assets of a region. Local administrations within the Greater Toronto Region must be empowered to act in the interests of the welfare of the Region as a whole and deal with the economic and social needs of this diverse and expanding population. The Greater Toronto Region needs: a) economic development strategies that support and enhance the combined strengths of the Region; b) a public education system that is sufficiently equipped to educate and train Canada's most diverse urban centre; c) a transportation infrastructure that is able to move a population spread throughout the Region to and from work and social and cultural pursuits; d) environmental policies and practices that deal with the complexities of urban industrial development and use, protect those natural features of significance to the Region (such as the Oak Ridges Moraine), and reflect global imperatives; e) a health system (including hospitals) that is able to cope with and respond to the demands placed upon it; f) the capacity to meet the social needs of its population. THE GREATER TORONTO CHARTER She Greater Toronto Charter has been in development since early 1999, and has had input from citizens including academics, journalists, urban planners and thinkers, business people and professionals, community workers, labour unions, former municipal staff and politicians. The early considerations of an initial working group were reported in a series of articles in the popular press in June and July of 1999, and more formally collected in the book Toronto: Considering Self -Government (Ginger Press, 2000), which is available from local bookstores across the Greater Toronto Region, on-line from http://www.torontocharter.com. or by calling 1.800.463-9937. In the development of the Greater Toronto Charter, various changes to the current governance structure have been considered to enhance the Region's autonomy. The option of a Charter was selected for its ease of implementation (it would require some changes to provincial legislation), its symbolic value as an identifier of the uniqueness metropolitan cities bring to a nation state, and its proven effectiveness around the world in enhancing local capacities to govern. The intent of these discussions is to provide currently elected officials and municipal staffs with citizen -generated input concerning the governance needs of the Region. In response to feedback we've received since its initial release in early 2000, the Greater Toronto Charter has been amended to improve its clarity and to reflect more accurately the autonomy needs of the Region. For the most current version, and for updates on activity concerning the Charter, please fill out the enclosed tear -off form and return it to the address provided. Also, we suggest you regularly check our website, http://www.torontocharter.com. Immediate action, in the form of The Greater Toronto Charter, is necessary to ensure the viability of the Greater Toronto Region. THE GREATER TORONTO CHARTER URBANIZATION Athe time of Confederation in 1867 (Constitution Act, 1867), the population of Canada was just under four million. The Constitution Act allocates to the provinces the right to determine the structure and powers of municipal institutions. In the world of the mid -nineteenth century, when cities were small and relatively uncomplicated, this made sense. In the twenty-first century, local administrations within the Greater Toronto Region, as indeed across the country, continue to be bound by constitutional rules that were designed for a primarily agrarian society. The history of the twentieth century was one of urbanization, when cities became the economic, social, and cultural engines of society. Canada is one of the most urbanized countries in the world. The Greater Toronto Region is North America's fifth largest metropolitan region (after Mexico City, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago), with a population approaching five million, surpassing the population of the entire country at the time of Confederation. The Greater Toronto Region is a major cultural, commercial, financial, educational, and intellectual centre of the western world. Mail to: DEVOLUTION OF RESPONSIBILITIES, POWERS AND AUTHORITY .� n recent years across Canada there has been a considerable devolution of power from the national to the provincial levels of government. Some provincial governments, in keeping with the principle of subsidiarity, have devolved to municipalities complete responsibilities for certain services, including the Provision and maintenance of infrastructure. While certain responsibilities for implementation and service delivery were devolved, the setting of policy was not. In fact, there has been an actual decrease in the share of spending allotted to municipalities. This devolution of responsibility, without the requisite authority to set Policy and secure resources to fund, runs in opposition to the principles of subsidiarity and fiscal accountability. Canada's largest urban region is unable to exercise its full governance responsibilities. As in the private sector, where decentralizing many powers and responsibilities to smaller units has become a useful structural approach to maximizing productivity, efficiency, and service quality, the public sector must consider the opportunities that "right -sizing" presents. Avana Capital Corporation 170 Bloor Street West, Suite 804 Toronto, CANADA M5S 1T9 THE GREATER TORONTO CHARTER HISTORY OF CHANGE 2(he history of Canada is one of constitutional and jurisdictional change. Through various imperial iterations by French and British governments, the British North America Act, the Statute of Westminster, and the Palmation of the Constitution, the allocation of government responsibilities has been frequently redesigned. Changes have occurred in response to a changing technological environment, the needs and pressures of Canada's regions, its two primary linguistic communities, its First Nations, and the desire for greater autonomy by provincial governments, especially Quebec. As a result, Canada is one of the most decentralized federations in the world. The readiness of Canadians to accept change is a feature of governance in Canada. CALL TO ACTION C9n jurisdictions around the world, constitutional, administrative, and financing arrangements increasingly reflect the recognition of the central role and capacity of metropolitan regions that, having achieved a requisite level of resources and experience, can now manage their own destinies. Senior governments in Canada must devolve to urban regions a much broader ability to, tax or access additional revenue sources, so these regions can effectively exercise their responsibility to identify needs, supply services, pay the bills, and provide accessible, democratic government. Such devolution will enable and encourage Canada's economic, social, and cultural engines to keep pace with those other urban jurisdictions that are their main competitors in the urbanized world of the twenty-first century.

THE CORORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON REPORT /fz REPORT MEETING: Council DATE: July 10, 2000 File #: REPORT: CD -34-00 Res#: SUBJECT: STATUS REPORT OF OUTSTANDING BY -By LAW-law #.�_ ENFORCEMENT ITEMS Recommendation: It is respectfully recommended: THAT Report CD -34-00 be received for information. BACKGROUND: At the Council meeting of May 29, 2000, Council approved Resolution GPA -228-00 which stated, "THAT the Clerk's Department be requested to provide a status report on all outstanding by-law issues". Staff have broken the various outstanding matters down into three groups. These represent the bulk of the ongoing matters which are being addressed by the Enforcement Division. These are investigations and enforcement matters, By-laws and procedures to be written or updated and ongoing projects. 1. INVESTIGATIONS AND ENFORCEMENT MATTERS Table #1 lists all the investigations and enforcement matters currently outstanding. These have been arranged by violation category and file number. Due to the need to keep the files confidential, any specific reference to property ownership or location has not been included in the list. Report CD -34-00 -2- July 10, 2000 Council will note that the oldest remaining file dates from 1993. This involves a large industrial building, which has seen the involvement of the Building Department, the Fire Department, the Durham Regional Police and the Ministry of the Environment, as well as the C.A.O.'s office. There is currently a Building Code Order on the structure, however, given the nature and complexity of the case it will remain logged as open until such time as it has been finally resolved. Using this oldest open file as a starting point for this report, staff advise that since 1993 (_ the Municipal Law Enforcement Officers have investigated a total of 4293 occurrences !, or requests for service. Of that number, only 195 (less than 4.6%) remain open today. From January 15t to June 23rd, 2000, 312 written complaints have been filed with the Division. The outstanding investigations represent: 89 Property Standards 56 Zoning 5 Noise 9 Fences 1 Trees 13 Parking 4 Signs 17 General complaints Depending entirely upon the nature of the complaint, a specific matter can require a phone call or letter, single site visit, several months of investigation, attempts at resolution, or court procedures in order to finally resolve the matter. Certain issues have special legislated time frames. An example of this is the process for a Property Standards complaint which is processed in the following manner: 1. The complaint is received and a site inspection conducted. 2. The property information is received from the title searcher. 3. The Order Requiring Compliance is sent out. r i Report CD -34-00 -3- July 10, 2000 4. The property owner has the option of appealing the Order to the Property Standards Appeal Committee. 5. The property is re -inspected to determine compliance. 6. Depending upon the Committee decision the owner may appeal to the Superior Court. 7. Following the expiration of the allotted appeal time the property is again inspected and if the work remains outstanding the Order can then be enforced. The minimum legislated time for resolution of a Property Standards complaint is eight weeks. Any court appeals or requirements for Council approval for action would delay this process further. Zoning investigations can be delayed by circumstances beyond the Officer's control. Division policy requires that all enforcement is stayed if the subject has an application for Minor Variance, Official Plan Amendment or Rezoning to rectify the situation. The stay would be lifted if the contravention still exists after the subject has exhausted all avenues of appeal. It should also be noted that the Court has scheduled only six court dates per year for the Municipality, therefore, once a matter is actually before the court it will take an absolute minimum of four months to resolve. 2. BY-LAWS - Staff are tasked with the responsibility of reviewing, commenting on and updating Municipal by-laws where required. These require time to research and draft before being presented to Council. This is an ongoing process, however, there are several which must be redrafted in the near future. Pursuant to recent changes to the Municipal Act, all licencing by-laws are deemed to expire five years after enactment, or on March 31 s`, 2001. As a result, Staff are currently working on revisions to all of the licencing by-laws and will be introducing them as Schedules to the Municipal Licencing By-law. These include taxis, hawker - pedlars, refreshment vehicles, trailer parks and auctioneers. Report CD -34-00 -4 July 10, 2000 Several other regulatory by-laws have been amended several times over the years and have become very cumbersome and confusing, therefore streamlining of these by-laws is in progress. Procedural amendments to the Property Standards By-law are being reviewed, with a report anticipated to be before Committee in the fall. Work has been ongoing with the Regional Police on the issue of creating by-laws to regulate pawnbrokers and second-hand goods dealers. These will assist the Police in investigations into thefts and break -and -enter offences by requiring the shopkeeper to record and file all of their transactions with the Police. The Officers are also currently working on drafting an enforcement policy for the Municipal Sign By-law. 3• ONGOING PROJECTS The Senior Municipal Law Enforcement Officer is the Municipality's representative on the Provincial Offences Act Transfer project. This project has been under development - F for two years with an anticipated handover date of December 2000. Staff are also involved in the ongoing work of the Durham By-law Enforcement Working Group. This group was formed to deal with common cross-border enforcement issues and to work toward harmonizing enforcement standards and requirements across Durham Region. One of the Group's current projects is to establish a uniform level of officer safety training through the Durham Regional Police Service. The Police have offered the use of their instructors and facilities at the Durham College Police Learning Centre. Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, at least one officer's time is fully devoted to conducting First Attendance Hearings for Parking tickets. These are booked in advance and are the required first step in the court process for parking matters. Over the last few months, Staff have attended seminars conducted by representatives of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission. The aim is to increase the Municipal Enforcement staffs involvement in the enforcement of provincial licencing provisions Report CD -34-00 _5_ July 10, 2000 for Nevada ticket sales, bingos and lotteries. In view of recent cases of fraud and misuse of funds within the Region, it is anticipated that Staff will be assuming these responsibilities in the near future. This will include the review of financial statements and applications as well as on-site inspections. CONCLUSION This report has been prepared for Committee's information and to provide a status on i the open files in the By-law Division. As the backlog of these files is cleared, a more proactive approach to enforcement will be adopted in order to prevent problems and concerns from occurring.

THAT Report PD -075-00 be received; 2. THAT the settlement of the Aggregate Producers Association of Ontario (APAO) objections to a number of the proposed policies contained in the Municipality of Clarington Official Plan and Official Plan Amendment 93 that have been referred or appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board be received; 3. THAT Council authorize staff to initiate the public consultation process for the proposed modified policies and proposed Amendment #19 to the Clarington Official Plan which will include the placing of public notices in the local newspapers and holding a public meeting in September 2000 in accordance with the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990; 4. THAT the APAO, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Region of Durham Planning Department, Central Lake Ontario Conservation, Ganaraska Conservation Authority, Save the Ganaraska Again (SAGA) and Save the Oak Ridges Moraine (STORM) receive copies of this report including the attachments and a copy of Council's decision; 5. THAT all interested parties listed in this report and any delegations be advised of Council's decision 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 The Clarington Official Plan was approved by the Region of Durham on September 25, 1996. The Aggregate Producers' Association of Ontario (APAO) objected to a number of policies within the Official Plan and subsequently submitted a referral to the Ontario Municipal Board (Referral No. 5) received on October 30, 1996. Policies that were 1.5 1.4 REP ,`p 5.00 referred included various aggregate PACE 2 residential policie gate resour and APAO and the Munic�ain designations on resources envirorm1eural policies ipality agreed that P A and all of and a few APAO's referral at those Map C. on rural shall only be referre policies an The Region the resource extraction, d insofar d maPpin as the Policy or g identified in the 1'2 Since map relates to that date aggregate Involving mu there has bee municipal staff, n an extensive and stakeholders includin the Municipal -exhaustive review of Natural g the Re ty s solicitor, and discussion Reso $1pn ofDurhan,, the Co the APA O, the Ministry of O STORM There nservation Authorities, ' the various have been envir0 Munici nhe municipality Pal Affairs an s, the Ministry conference y and the APAO mnental consultants d Housing SAG and call ex°hanged between have taken Placeandhave been orm ug and to the table by both the entheMunicipalit many Piecesof oissioned reports written, Y and the APAO. 1.3 nesp0nde In addition, the rice have been Municipality of Clapn fu and the Upper G gtOn appealed Municipal Board (O anaraska Riv Sections 15 the Iver Watershed se matters.

Dufferin Aggregate made application to add these lands to their existing adjacent land holdings for the purposes of aggregate extraction. The Region of Durham adopted Amendment No. 19. (ROPA 95-015) on September 25, 1996 to permit aggregate extraction. This deferral is awaiting resolution of Referral #5 before the deferral can be lifted. 1.7 When revisiting the approved policies in light of the proposed changes, it became increasingly apparent that policies which had not been referred required revision and new policies needed to be added. These changes are necessary in order to update the environmental policies to reflect the current Provincial Policy Statement. As such, Chapter 4 "Natural Environment and Resource Management' has been substantially rewritten and changes have been made to Chapter 14 — "Open Space System". An amendment to the Official Plan is required as these changes propose the addition of new policies and revision to existing policies, policies which have not been referred, appealed or deferred. 2. PROCESSING OF PROPOSED NEW POLICIES 2.1 Although a comprehensive approach has been taken to the review of the policies, it is proposed that policies be processed in two tracks: • those related to the referrals and appeals to the Ontario Municipal Board would be dealt with by the Board • those new policies unrelated to the policies in front of the Board would be processed by means of a new amendment (No. 19). It is recommended that a public meeting, in accordance with the Planning Act be held in September 2000. Recognizing that the proposed changes to the Official Plan are lengthy and complex, it is recommended that advertisement of the proposed amendment be placed in local newspapers this summer. In addition, copies of the proposed amendment will be made available to the public providing residents and businesses ample opportunity to review the proposed amendments. There would be opportunity for people to review the package of changes as a whole. However, the solicitor acting on behalf of the Municipality will request that the OMB exercise its powers oTmodification to modify the REPORT PD -075-00 PAGE 4 referred or appealed portions of the Clarington Official Plan by approving those sections of the proposed policies. As for Deferral # = it is recommended that Council requested the Region of Durham to lift Deferral #30 when Referral #5 is approved by the OMB. 3. OUTSTANDING ISSUE 3.1 Staff have held a meeting with representatives of an aggregate producer, being Lafarge, their solicitor and their environmental consultant to discuss a proposal to extract mine- j aggregate in Lots 18 and 19, Concession 9, former Township of Clarke. Although the appropriate development applications have yet to be received, it is recommended that at this time, in order to avoid delay of the settlement with the APAO, that the western limit of the Ganaraska Forest as shown on Attachment No. 1 — Map C4, be deferred. This will not prejudice the Municipality or Lafarge. The status of this area would be determined in conjunction with a recommendation regarding a potential aggregate operation of this site 4. CONCLUSION 4.1 The proposed changes to the Clarington Official Plan are the result of a long study and negotiation process. It is important to proceed to finalize these changes to the Clarington Official Plan expeditiously. It is recommended that Council follow the procedure referred to in this report for processing these changes and that staff be authorized to initiate the public consultation process.

In this regard, the Municipality will work in partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources, Conservation Authorities and other agencies in the preparation of watershed plans. June 28, 2000 Draft -Without Prejudice 4.3.2 The Municipality will consult with the Region, the Conservation Authorities, provincial ministries and other interested parties, to develop and implement a system to monitor the cumulative impacts of urban development on the natural environment. 4.3.3 Land owners are encouraged to respect the integrity of the natural environrnent and the needs of future generations in the management and use of the Municipality's natural resources. Responsible stewardship may include participation in forest management programs, and soil and water conservation programs. 4.3.4 The Municipality will pursue a variety of mechanisms to achieve the preservation of woodlands, such as the preparation of forest management plans, municipal purchase, parkland dedication, gratuitous dedication, density transfers, and the enactment of a tree preservation by-law under the Municipal Act. 4.4 NATURAL HERITAGE SYSTEM 4.4.1 The many and diverse natural heritage features found in Clarington, together with their ecological functions, collectively comprise the Municipality's natural heritage system. The approximate location of those natural heritage features which can be mapped is shown on Map C. In addition, there are a number of natural heritage features which cannot be shown on Map C, due to either inadequate information or the nature of the feature. These features are also important to the integrity of the natural heritage system. 4.4.2 The most significant natural heritage features form the core components of the natural heritage system. These are: ❑ all evaluated wetlands ❑ all Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI), except for the Bowmanville Quarry ❑ all significant woodlands ❑ all significant valleylands ❑ the Ganaraska Forest and the Long Sault Forest ❑ all fisheries habitat, including permanent streams ❑ habitat for threatened and endangered species ❑ rare vegetation communities ❑ significant wildlife habitat ❑ groundwater discharge areas. June 28, 2000 Draft - Without Prejudice Dano 0 -4 nA 4.4.3 Other natural heritage features provide support to the core components and are important to maintaining the health and biodiversity of the natural heritage system. These include: ❑ unevaluated wetlands ❑ intermittent streams ❑ uncommon vegetation communities ❑ small woodlots and hedgerows ❑ groundwater recharge areas. These natural heritage features are not shown on Map C. 4.4.4 Additional information regarding significant natural heritage features may become available through the detailed evaluation of development applications or further study. Map C may be revised to incorporate such additional information without the need for an amendment to this Plan. 4.4.5 The Municipality will use all efforts to require the restoration of any significant natural heritage feature identified on Map C which has been damaged or removed. The removal of a natural heritage feature, in particular woodlands, shall not be considered as the basis for approving any development application. 4.4.6 The policies of this Plan shall also apply to any significant natural heritage feature which has been identified by the Municipality, the Region, a Conservation Authority or the Province, but which is not presently shown on Map C. Where a significant natural heritage feature is not identified on Map C, it does not necessarily mean that the feature or part thereof may be developed or altered in any way. Should a significant natural heritage feature be identified through the review of a development application and written notice given to the applicant, the preparation of an Environmental Impact Study pursuant to Section 4.4.24 shall be required. 4.4.7 Development will not be approved where an Environmental Impact Study completed in accordance with Section 4.4.24 identifies unacceptable negative impacts on the natural heritage system. 4.4.8 The following areas in the Municipality are particularly important to the natural heritage system of the Municipality: ❑ the Oak Ridges Moraine ❑ the Lake Iroquois Beach ❑ the Lake Ontario Waterfront. June 28, 2000 Draft - Without Prejudice Page 3 of 24 Oak Ridges Moraine 4.4.9 The Oak Ridges Moraine is a unique landform, valued for its combination of scenic qualities, natural heritage features particularly its forests, its groundwater resources and its aggregate resources. This Plan seeks to achieve an appropriate balance between the use of the Moraine's resources and the maintenance and enhancement of its scenic values and essential ecological functions, including the provision of wildlife habitat, and the recharge and discharge of ground water. 4A. 10 Except for aggregate extraction, Council shall endeavour to maintain the form, character and variety of landscapes within the Moraine by encouraging only minimal modifications to the natural contours of the land and the retention of natural landscape features such as woodlands. In the case of an Aggregate Extraction Area, the extraction and rehabilitation plans shall seek to create compatible landforms and provide continuous forest cover where reasonably practicable. 4.4.11 The Ganaraska Forest and the Long Sault Forest, both of which are located on the Oak Ridges Moraine, are identified on Map C. This Plan also recognizes that the Forests extend beyond the Municipality's boundaries. The Forests are significant because of their size, the diversity of wildlife habitat they provide including large areas of interior forest habitat, and their important watershed functions of groundwater recharge and discharge and erosion control. It is Council's policy that the Ganaraska and Long Sault Forests are to be protected and managed through both public and private land stewardship initiatives ir: accordance with Section 4.3.3 to enhance their natural heritage value. Council may consider applying the Municipality's tree preservation by-law to the two Forests. 4.4.12 The Oak Ridges Moraine Natural Corridor as identified on Map C connects the Ganaraska Forest and Long Sault Forest. The Corridor includes many heritage features which provide habitat for wildlife. The protection and enhancement of wildlife habitat within the Corridor will provide animals and plants with the opportunity to move between the two Forests and throughout the natural heritage system, and will help ensure that the natural heritage objectives of this Plan are implemented. 4.4.13 The Oak Ridges Moraine Natural Corridor is intended to function as a major corridor within the Municipality's natural heritage system. Owners of land within the Corridor are ` encouraged to practice responsible land stewardship in order to enhance the amount and quality of wildlife habitat in the Corridor, including the preparation and approval of Managed Forest Plans. Council may consider applying the Municipality's tree preservation by-law to the Oak Ridges Moraine Natural Corridor. Applications for Official Plan Amendment or Rezoning for new land uses within the Corridor shall be accompanied by a study as required by Section 4.4.29 of this Plan to demonstrate that the new development does not negatively impact the important ecological functions of the Corridor as intended by this Plan. 4.4.14 The provincial government is encouraged to investigate and implement measures to facilitate the movement of wildlife across Highways 35/115 and the future Highway 407 where these highways cross the Oak Ridges Moraine Natural Corridor. June 28, 2000 Draft - Without Prejudice Page 4 of 24 4.4.15 The Municipality supports the establishment of an Oak Ridges Moraine Trail System as part of the Municipality's integrated trail network. The Municipality will consult with provincial agencies, the Conservation Authorities and the public with respect to such matters as trail location, design and funding. 4.4.16 In addition to the other provisions of this Plan, the use of land on the Oak Ridges Moraine shall be subject to the policies set out in Chapters 12, 13, 14 and 15. Lake Iroquois Beach 4.4.17 The Lake Iroquois Beach, as identified on Map C, is an important landform within the Municipality's landscape. The extensive forested areas and wildlife habitat of the Beach provide an east -west natural corridor across the Municipality. This landform is also valued for its ground water recharge and discharge functions, its landscape features and its aggregate resources. 4.4.18 Except for aggregate extraction, Council shall endeavour to maintain the form, character and variety of landscapes within the Lake Iroquois Beach by encouraging only minimal modification to the natural contours of the land and the retention of natural landscape features, including woodlands and wetlands. In the case of an Aggregate Extraction Area, the extraction and rehabilitation plans for the pit shall seek to create compatible landforms and provide continuous forest cover where reasonably practicable. Lake Ontario Waterfront 4.4.19 The Lake Ontario Waterfront is a unique and dynamic feature and a vital public resource. The Municipality shall promote greater awareness, understanding, access and recreational use of the waterfront and encourage community pride and participation in its regeneration. 4.4.20 The Municipality will establish a continuous Waterfront Trail for such purposes as walking and cycling along the Lake Ontario Waterfront. The Waterfront Trail shall connect, wherever reasonably practicable, to other trails, corridors and natural areas within the Municipality and adjacent municipalities. 4.4.21 The Municipality recognizes that the completion of a Waterfront Trail may exceed the 20 year time horizon of this Plan.

REPORT 1.0 ATTACHMENTS Attachment No. 1 Map showing lands to be dedicated as a public highway Attachment No. 2 Map showing lands referred to in this report as the "Temporary Public Highway" Attachment No. 3 Map showing lands referred to in this report as Closure Area B Attachment No. 4 Map showing lands referred to in this report as Closure Area D Attachment No. 5 Public Notice of consideration of by-laws respecting Closure Area D 2.0 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS 2.1 At the meeting on November 3, 1997, Council approved the recommendations contained in Report #Admin -47-97 and authorized the execution of Principles of Understanding with Blue Circle Canada Inc. ("Blue Circle"). That report discussed in some detail the complex and interrelated components of the Principles of Understanding including land transfers, the acquisition of Cove Road (then a private road) and certain additional land, the reconstruction of Cove Road, the construction of approaches and a bridge over the Westside Creek and dedication of the same as a public highway, financial arrangements with Blue Circle and the making of certain other agreements and arrangements. The Principles of Understanding implemented recommendations of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust. 2.2 At the meeting on June 19, 2000, Council approved the recommendations contained in Report Solic-#3-00 and authorized the execution of the Fourth Amending Agreement to the Report No. WD -36-00 Page 3 Principles of Understanding. (The Principles of Understanding dated November 3, 1997, as amended are referred to in this report as the "Principles".) 2.3 At the meeting on October 6, 1997, Council approved the recommendations contained in Report WD# -64-97 that conditional on Council's approval of an agreement with Blue Circle, staff be authorized to prepare by-laws for Council's approval to stop up and close and authorize the conveyance to Blue Circle of a portion of Waverly Road, and to dedicate a portion of the Blue Circle haul road and its extension as a temporary public highway. The Principles of Understanding dated November 3, 1997 satisfied the condition respecting an agreement with Blue Circle. 2.4 At the meeting on November 3, 1997, Council also passed By-law No. 97-249 dealing with the Temporary Public Highway. Parts 7 and 9 on Plan 40R-17774 and Parts 12 and 13 on Plan 40R-17775 (see Attachment No. 2) were dedicated as a public highway until a by-law is passed dedicating Cove Road and the connections of it via a bridge over Westside Creek to Cedar Crest Beach Road. The land required for it was part of Blue Circle's haul road and was leased to the Municipality for a term that ends when the Cove Road dedication by-law is passed. 2.5 At the same meeting, Council passed By-law Nos. 97-250, 97-251 and 97-252 to stop up and close as a public highway a portion of Waverly Road described as Closure Area A in the Principles, declare it and associated reserves to be surplus under Section 193 of the Municipal Act, and to authorize the conveyance of the lands comprising Closure Area A and associated reserves, being Parts 1, 3 and 5 on Plan 40R-17774 to Blue Circle as provided for in the Principles. The transfer of these lands to Blue Circle will not take place until the "Closing Date" provided for in the Principles. It is expected that the Closing Date will occur before the end of July, 2000. 2.6 As provided for in the Principles, Public Works has given Blue Circle written notice that Cove Road, the Westside Creek Bridge and the approaches to them have been constructed or reconstructed to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. As a consequence, subject to Council's consideration of representations made at the public hearing on July 10, 2000, Council now can pass a by-law dedicating Cove Road, the Westside Creek Bridge and the approaches to them being Parts 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 on Plan 40R-17895 (see Attachment No. 1) as a public highway and assume them for public use. 2.7 If Council decides to dedicate Cove Road , the Westside Creek Bridge and approaches to them as a public highway, it would be appropriate to pass by-laws to stop up and close the Temporary Public Highway as a public highway on Parts 7 and 9 on Plan 40R-17774, to declare Part 9 to be surplus and to authorize the release and surrender of any interest of the Municipality in Part 9 on Plan 40R-17774 (see Attachment No. 2) to Blue Circle. No. WD -36-00 4 2.8 The Principles provide that after the passing of the dedication by-law referred to in paragraph 2.6, Council will consider whether to close and authorize the conveyance to Blue Circle of the portion of Waverly Road described as Closure Area B (see Attachment No. 3), together with the associated reserves. Public Works has determined that an appropriate area for turning vehicles can be provided entirely within the portion of Waverly Road at the southerly end of the Hydro One Transmission Corridor, without requiring the transfer of an easement from Hydro One Transmission Corridor to the Municipality, to accommodate the turning area for this purpose. 2.9 If the Temporary Public Highway is closed, the Municipality will not require Closure Area B to be retained as a public highway. Accordingly, subject to Council's consideration of representations made at the public hearing on July 10, 2000, Council could pass by-laws to declare them surplus, to stop up and close Parts 1, 2, 3, 12 and 13 on Plan 40R-17775 as a public highway, to declare Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 on Plan 40R-17775 surplus and to authorize the transfer of the latter Parts to Blue Circle. 2.10 Prior to the negotiation and the execution of the Principles by the Municipality on November 3, 1997, and the passing of the by-laws referred to in paragraph 2.5, Council had obtained an assessment of the fair market value of the portions of Waverly Road and associated reserves abutting Blue Circle's lands. However, as noted above, the Principles contain complex and interrelated provisions dealing with land transfers, the cost of the reconstruction of Cove Road and the cost of construction of the Westside Creek Bridge and approaches as well as other financial burdens assumed by Blue Circle and the Municipality, respectively. 2.11 Attachment No. 6 to Report #Admin -47-97 is a memorandum from Franklin Wu, then the Director of Planning and Development, to W.H. Stockwell, then the Chief Administrative Officer, in which Mr. Wu recommended that Waverly Road be deemed surplus and be closed and conveyed to Blue Circle in exchange for a portion of the Westside Marsh and other lands on both sides of West Beach Road. Mr. Wu also stated that the land exchange is necessary to implement the recommendation of the Regeneration Trust and is in compliance with the procedure governing the sale of real property as set out in By-law No. 95-22. (The latter by- law was passed under section 193 of the Municipal Act and establishes procedures governing the sale of real property.). 2.12 Blue Circle is the owner of the lands abutting Closure Area B and located both to the east and to the west of it. It is recommended that by-laws be passed declaring the lands within Closure Area B to be surplus and notwithstanding section 7 of By-law No. 95-22, to authorize their transfer to Blue Circle as abutting owner for a nominal consideration. Report No. WD -36-00 Page 5 2.13 Closure Area D referred to in the Principles is a portion of Waverly Road located northerly of the intersection of Waverly Road and Watson Drive. It comprises Parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 on Plan 40R-19843 (see Attachment No. 4). Parts 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 comprise the portion of Waverly Road within Closure Area D. The other Parts are associated reserves. Blue Circle has consented to the closure of Parts 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 as a public highway and to the conveyance of these Parts and the associated reserves to CLOCA, provided that certain easements are fust transferred to Blue Circle in Parts 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 15, 17'and 18 on Plan 40R-17893. The easements proposed to be transferred to Blue Circle are described in the Public Notice (see Attachment No.5). The easements are required to allow Blue Circle to construct and maintain a portion of an acoustic berm on certain land, the overflow channel from the Westside Marsh on the land and to access lands to the east and west on Closure Area D on which certain works will be constructed and maintained by Blue Circle to implement the Principles and other agreements. The lands to be transferred to CLOCA will be managed by CLOCA with the Reconfigured Westside Marsh and other areas as part of the Bowmanville/Westside Marsh Complex pursuant to a Management Agreement with the Municipality which is contemplated by the Principles. 2.14 The portion of Waverly Road within Closure Area D is not required as a public highway. Subject to Council's consideration of representations made at the public hearing on July 10, 2000, it is recommended that a by-law be passed to stop up and close as a public highway Parts 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 on Plan 40R-19893. It is also recommended that notwithstanding section 7 of By-law No. 95-22, Parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 be declared surplus. It is further recommended that a by-law be passed authorizing the transfer to Blue Circle for a nominal consideration of easements in Parts 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 15, 17 and 18 on Plan 40R-19893 as described in the Public Notice contained in Attachment No. 5 and subject to these easements, Parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 on Plan 40R- 19843 be transferred to CLOCA for a nominal consideration. 3.0 RECOMMENDATION 3.1 The by-laws and transfers of lands referred to in this report will complete the land transactions provided for in the Principles of Understanding with Blue Circle in accordance with the intent of the Principles and are recommended for approval for that reason.

BACKGROUND 1.1 In 1996 Council authorized the Municipality to enter into negotiations with Blue Circle Canada Inc. (Blue Circle) to implement the recommendations of the report of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust entitled "Westside Marsh - Report and Recommendations". Arising from these discussions are the "Principles of Understanding" between Blue Circle and the Municipality of Clarington which were adopted by Council on November 3, 1997. This agreement contains a number of REPORT PD -076-00 PAGE 2 conditions that must be fulfilled by both the Municipality and Blue Circle towards the completion in the arrangements. 1.2 Included in the "Principles of Understanding" are proposed changes to the Durham Regional Official Plan, Clarington Official Plan and the Municipality's Zoning By-law which were agreed to by staff and representatives of Blue Circle. On November 3, 1997 Council approved the modification to the Clarington Official Plan and requested the Region to modify the Regional Official Plan upon the fulfillment of conditions by both the Municipality and Blue Circle. In addition, two zoning by-laws were prepared that would implement the concept and were attached as Schedules to the "Principles of Understanding". The Municipality agreed to initiate the process under the Planning Act to rezone the lands associated with the Westside Creek diversion, the Westside and Bowmanville Marshes and the Marsh Link Area, and on January 19, 1998, a Public Meeting was held in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act. 2. APPLICATION DETAILS 2.1 Two applications have been initiated by the Municipality of Clarington to rezone lands currently owned by Blue Circle and Hydro One Networks Inc. The details of the applications are noted below. 2.1.1 Application DEV 97-083 Owners: Blue Circle Canada Inc. Hydro One Networks Inc. (Ontario Hydro) Rezoning: from "Agricultural (A)" zone and "Extractive Industrial Exception (M3- 1)" zone to "Agricultural (A)" and "Environmental Protection (EP)" zones. Location: Hydro One Networks Inc. transmission corridor, location of the creek diversion, westerly portion of the Bowmanville Marsh and other smaller holdings (Attachment No. 1) Area: 24 hectares (59 acres) REPORT PD -076-00 2.1.2 Application DEV 97-084 PAGE 3 Owners: Blue Circle Canada Inc. Rezoning: from "Extractive Industrial Exception (M3-1)" zone to "Environmental Protection (EP)" zone. Location: Reconfigured Westside Marsh, Marsh Link Area and overflow channel (Attachment No. 1) Area: 39 hectares (96 acres) 3. SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING AREAS 3.1 The subject lands are dominated by the Westside Marsh, Bowmanville Marsh and Hydro One Networks Inc. transmission corridor. The lands also possess a portion of the Waterfront Trail and some open space areas. 3.2 Surrounding Uses: West - Blue Circle quarry, cement plant and associated uses East - Bowmanville Harbour Conservation Area and Bobby C's Restaurant and Marina (formerly known as Port Darlington Marina). North - C. N. Railway and Highway 401 South - Cove Road and Cedar Crest Beach Road residential areas. 4. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 4.1 Durham Regional Official Plan 4.1.1 The lands subject to application DEV 97-083 include the future creek diversion, a portion of the Bowmanville Marsh and other small holdings. These areas are designated "Major Open Space" and "Waterfront Link" in the Regional Official Plan. The designations appropriately reflect the current and future status of the lands. 4.1.2 The lands subject to Application DEV 97-084 include a portion of the Westside Marsh and Marsh Link Area. They are designated as "Special Policy Area B" within the Durham Regional Official Plan. In ADMIN Report 47-97, Council requested the Region of Durham to amend the Official Plan to reflect the "Principles of Understanding" with REPORT PD -076-00 PAGE 4 Blue Circle. Council also requested that the Region not adopt the proposed modification to the Official Plan until such time as the temporary public highway is closed and the Lease is released to Blue Circle. By-laws to close and convey this temporary public highway will be considered by Council on July 10, 2000. 4.2 Clarington Official Plan 4.2.1 The lands subject to application DEV 97-083 are designated "Waterfront Greenway" and "Environmental Protection" in the Clarington Official Plan. The designation appropriately reflects the current and future status of these lands. 4.2.2 The lands subject to Application DEV 97-084 are designated as "Special Policy Area 2" and are also deferred in the Clarington Official Plan. In ADMIN Report 47-97, Couricil recommended approval of Modification # 170 to the Clarington Official Plan which redesignates the reconfigured Westside Marsh and other lands as Environmental Protection Area. This modification also proposes a number of changes designed to implement the "Principles of Understanding" and to ensure that existing irritants of noise and dust will not be further aggravated as quarrying activities proceed easterly. The modification is to be approved by the Region of Durham at such time as the temporary public highway is closed and the Lease is released to Blue Circle. 5. ZONING BY-LAW PROVISIONS 5.1 The lands associated with these applications are currently zoned "Agricultural (A)" and "Extractive Industrial Exception (M3-1)". The proposed by-law amendment will zone the majority of the lands "Environmental Protection (EP)" to reflect the new creek diversion, the green space system, and to protect the reconfigured marsh. Those lands located within the Hydro One Networks Inc. corridor and not committed to the creek diversion area, shall be zoned "Agricultural (A)" as these lands are not required for the conveyance of the creek and the hazards associated with the creek. 6. PUBLIC MEETING AND SUBMISSIONS 6.1 The public meeting for this proposed amendment to the Municipality's Zoning By-law, as REPORT PD -076-00 PAGE 5 required by the Planning Act, was held on January 19, 1998. In accordance with the regulations of the Planning Act, public notice was mailed to each landowner within the prescribed 120 metre (400 ft) distance and a notice was placed in the Canadian Statesman. 6.2 At the Public Meeting, one resident stated that they are generally in favour of saving as much of the marsh as is possible. This resident also stated that concerns pertaining to r noise and dust are being addressed. There has been no other correspondence received by the Planning Department either in support or opposition to this application. 7. AGENCY COMMENTS 7.1 The rezoning applications were circulated to various departments and agencies for comment. Comments were not received from the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Transportation, C. N. Rail and CLOCA. Although comments were not received, these agencies are aware of the process. CLOCA, in particular, has been an active participant in fulfilling the "Principles of Understanding". 7.2 The Municipality of Clarington Fire Department and Public Works Department have no objection to these applications. Also, Clarington Hydro, now Veridian, had no objection to the application, but did request to receive a copy of the proposed plan for the reconstruction of Cove Road in order to examine if there will be any impact to services. 7.3 The Region of Durham Planning Department advised that detailed comments will be provided prior to the Region acting on the deferral (Deferral No. 1). They advise that any zoning amendment for DEV 97-084 will not come into force and effect until the required Official Plan policies are approved. The attached by-law references that the zoning will come into effect when the deferral is resolved. 7.4 On April 10, 2000 Hydro One Networks Inc. advised verbally that they had concerns regarding the extent of the "EP" zoning for their corridor lands. Hydro One Networks Inc. is considering additional revenue opportunities for linear services which would be REPORT PD -076-00 PAGE 6 constructed within their corridors (e.g. fibre optic cable). Accordingly they requested that the zoned lands be restricted to the diversion channel lands only. 7.5 In April 2000, Blue Circle Canada, in review of the proposed zoning, confirmed that an easement exists, in favour of Blue Circle Canada, to allow access to the quarry across Hydro One Networks Inc. corridor lands west of Waverly Road. These lands are currently zoned "Agricultural (A)". In accordance with the "Principals of Understanding", Hydro One Networks Inc. lands in their entirety were to be zoned ` "Environmental Protection (EP)". Blue Circle expressed concern that rezoning the entire corridor lands, including the easement, "Environmental Protection" would not accurately reflect the entrance use. Blue Circle also requested that the zoning of the lands located west of the Waverly Road adjacent to the Overflow Channel Lands "A", `B" and "C" (Attachment No. 1), reflect the registered plan for this area. The lands used for the purposes of conveying water from the marsh to Lake Ontario, including the easement lands to provide access to maintain the Overflow Channel will be zoned "Environmental Protection (EP)". The lands located west of the features will be zoned "Extractive Industrial Exception (M3-1)", S. STAFF COMMENTS 8.1 The applications for rezoning have been initiated by the Municipality of Clarington as agreed upon in the "Principles of Understanding". By-laws were prepared and form part of the "Principles of Understanding" being Schedule "N" and "O" respectfully. Although the agreement indicates the intent of both parties to proceed with the zoning by-laws identified in the agreement, it expressly indicates that Council's legislative discretion is not fettered by the agreement. The clause recognized that the previous Council could not bind the current Council. It also recognized the public notice requirements of the Planning Act that needed to be followed prior to making a decision. 8.2 Ownership of much of the land subject to these applications will be transferred to Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA). The rezoning of the subject lands REPORT PD -076-00 PAGE 7 allows for revisions to assessed value to reflect the limited range of uses under conservation authority management. 8.3 Cove Road has been reconstructed and the bridge connecting Cove Road and Cedar Crest Beach Road has been constructed and is currently being traveled upon. Council on July 10, 2000 will consider by-laws to adopt Cove Road as a public highway and to officially accept and open the bridge. Public Works has confirmed that Veridian has had opportunities to review the plans to assess if there will be any impacts to their service. 8.4 Hydro One Networks Inc.'s concerns have been reviewed. As the surveys of the creek diversion area have been completed for these lands and deposited with the registry office, their request can be accommodated. The "Environmental Protection (EP)" zoning will reflect the limits of the creek diversion and the remainder of the lands will be zoned "Agricultural (A)". 8.5 Blue Circle Canada's request have been reviewed and as previously established as per Hydro One Networks Inc. request, only these lands used for the creek diversion works will be zoned "Environmental Protection". As such, the lands subject to the easement for the entrance to the quarry are currently zoned "Agricultural (A)" and will remain so zoned as such. With respect to the lands located west of Channel Lands "A", `B" and "C", these will be zoned "Extractive Industrial Exception (M3-1)". 9. CONCLUSION It is recommended that the by-laws which accompany this report as Attachment No. 2 and Attachment No. 3 be approved. The by-law for DEV 97-084 (Attachment No. 3) will not come into force and effect until such time as the appropriate modifications to the Municipal Official Plan and Regional Official Plan are adopted in accordance with Section 24(2) of the Planning Act.

("BLUE CIRCLE') AND THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON DATED NOVEMBER 3,1997, AS AMENDED (the "PRINCIPLES") 1.0 Recommendations: 1. THAT this report be received. 2. THAT a by-law be passed authorizing the Mayor and Clerk on behalf of the Municipality ® of Clarington to execute an agreement with Blue Circle Canada Inc. to amend the Principles of Understanding between Blue Circle Canada Inc. and the Municipality of Clarington dated November 3, 1997, as amended by the First, Second, Third and Fourth Amending Agreements by deleting the date "July 31, 2000" and replacing it with the date "September 15, 2000". I y, � 1 lrtt 2.1 The Fourth Amending Agreement to the Principles was approved by Council at the meeting on June 19, 2000 as was recommended in Report Solic #-3-00. As discussed in paragraph 6.7 of that Report, paragraph 1(aXm) of the Fourth Amending Agreement amended paragraph 24 of the Principles to provide for an extension of the Unwinding Date by agreement of the solicitors for the parties to a date not later than July 31, 2000. 2.2 The "Closing Date" provided in the Principles will occur when certain actions have been taken and documents executed by the parties to them, The documents include the Maintenance and Monitoring Agreement which is to be executed by Blue Circle, the Municipality and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, and the Hydro One Easement Agreement which is to be executed by Ontario Hydro One Networks Inc., Blue Circle and the Municipality. It now appears that there may be some delay in having these Agreements executed by the parties to them other than the Municipality. Given the summer Report Solic-44-00 -2- July, 10, 2000 recess it would be prudent to provide more flexibility with respect tothe "Unwinding Date" in the Principles by permitting it to be extended by agreement of the solicitors for the parties to a date not later than September 15, 2000. The next regular meeting of Council after July 10, 2000 is scheduled for September 12, 2000. 3.1 It is recommended that Council authorize the execution of an agreement with glue Circle to provide that the date of July 31, 2000 now set out in paragraph 24 of the Principles be deleted and the date September 15, 2000 be substituted for it.

STEPHENS ESTATES INC. PART OF LOT 8, CONCESSION 2, FORMER TOWN OF BOWMANVILLE FILE: COPA 2000-002 Recommendations: It is respectfully recommended to Council the following: 1. THAT Report PD -63-00 be lifted from the table; 2. THAT the recommendations contained within report PD -63-00 be APPROVED; 3. THAT the Mayor and Clerk be authorized, by By-law, to execute an amending Subdivision Agreement between St. Stephen's Estates Inc. and the Municipality to permit the development of a total of eighteen semi-detached dwelling units on Blocks 137, 138, 140 and 141 on Plan 40M-1977. 4. THAT all interested parties listed in this report and any delegations be advised of Council's decision. 1. BACKGROUND Ll Paragraph 9.2 within staff report PD -63-00 noted that as blocks 137, 138, 140 and 141 were within a registered plan of subdivision, an amendment to draft approval could not be considered as a method of reconfiguring the subdivision and create the new lots for the semi-detached dwelling units. It was staff's opinion Land Division Committee approval would be required to create the new lots for the semi-detached dwellings. The Land Division process furthermore, provided the mechanism for the Municipality to ensure that all engineering works are designed and constructed satisfactorily and that sufficient monies are provided for performance guarantees. REPORT ADDENDUM TO PD -063-00 PAGE 2 1.2 The applicant's solicitor has provided the opinion that inasmuch as Council approved a Part Lot Control By-law on November 22, 1999 which included the four blocks in question, the Land Division Committee process is no longer required. Furthermore the current R3 - Urban Residential Type Three Zone category permits the development of semi-detached dwelling units. The applicant's solicitor requested clarification of this matter with the Municipality's legal counsel. 1.3 The first phase of the St. Stephen's Estates Inc. draft plan of subdivision (40M-1977) was _ registered on August 31, 1999. The Part Lot Control By-law subsequently passed by Council on November 22, 1999 permitted a number of lots and blocks within the registered plan to be "severed" and sold as individual street townhouse and serni- detached dwelling units. This By-law implemented the draft plan and the Subdivision Agreement. It was anticipated the development of these four blocks in particular would proceed as originally approved for street townhouse dwelling units. When the draft play[ was originally recommended for approval, the street townhouse blocks were zoned R3 — Urban Residential Type Three. The R3 zoning category permits not only townhouses as identified in the draft plan of subdivision, but also single detached homes and semi- detached homes. 1.4 The Municipality's solicitor confirmed that notwithstanding the draft approval as originally issued, the four blocks can be developed for semi-detached dwelling units through the Part Lot Control by-law passed by Council November 22, 1999. The solicitor's opinion was based on the R3 - Urban Residential Type Three Zoning category permitting the development of semi-detached dwelling units. 1.5 In order to address the issues raised by the Public Works Department ensuring all engineering works are designed and constructed satisfactorily, it is recommended that the subdivision agreement be amended to recognize the development of blocks 137, 138, 140 and 141 for semi-detached d -.,Hing units. By amending the existing agreement, all works and securities would have to be provided in compliance with the Municipality's standard requirements. REPORT ADDENDUM TO PD -063-00 PAGE 3 2.

THAT Report PD -063-00 be received; 2. THAT application to amend the Municipality of Clarington Official Plan submitted by St. Stephen's Estates Inc. be APPROVED as Amendment No. 18 as indicated in Attachment #3 and that the necessary By-law be passed; 3. a. 5. 1. 1.1 THAT the Clerk be authorized to issue the Notice of Decision within 15 days; THAT a copy of this report and amendment be forwarded to the Region of Durham for approval; and THAT all interested parties listed in this report and any delegation be advised of Council's decision. APPLICATION DETAILS Owner: St. Stephen's Estates Inc. 1.2 Applicant: Legends Consulting 1.3 Official Plan Amendment Application: To delete a medium density symbol from Map A to permit the construction of semi-detached dwelling units. REPORT NO.: PD -063-00 PAGE 2 1.4 Site Area: 6100 m' (1.5 acres) 2. LOCATION The subject lands are located in Blocks 137, 138, 140 and 141, Lownie Court in Plan of Subdivision 40M-1977 (see Attachment #I). The property is contained within Part Lpt g Concession 2, in the former Town of Bowmanville. 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 The subject application was received April 7, 2000. Ministry of Government Services submitted an application this plan of subdivision in 1988, and received draft approval approximately ten years ago. Ontario Realty Corporation sold the lands to St. Stephen's Estates Inc. which is currently constructing homes in Phase 1. St. Stephen's Estates now finds that markets have changed considerably and townhouse units are not in as high demand. 3.2 Map A 3 of the Clarington Official Plan illustrates a medium density symbol in the Lownie Court area. Plan of Subdivision 40M-1977 indicates four townhouse blocks containing twenty townhouse units in this area. 4. SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 4.1 The existing site is currently vacant. All abutting lands are currently under construction within Plan of Subdivision 40M-1977. 4.2 Surrounding Uses: East - Residential - proposed semi-detached (linked) dwellings North - Future Public Elementary School and Neighbourhood Park West - Residential - proposed semi-detached (linked) dwellings South - Residential - single detached dwellings / r " REPORT NO.: PD -063-00 5. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES PAGE 3 5.1 The lands are designated "Living Area" within the Durham Region Official Plan. Living Areas shall be used predominantly for housing purposes. The application would conform with the policies of the Official Plan. 5.2 Within Clarington Official Plan, the subject lands are designated "Urban Residential - Medium Density". Urban Residential areas shall be used predomarantly for housing purposes with a net density of 31-60 units. Net density provides a range of dwelling units (31-60 units per net hectare) which is the overall density of a site excluding public roads, public parks, non -developable land, school site and similar public lands areas. 5.3 With the construction of semi-detached dwellings, instead of townhouses the applicant would construct a total of eighteen (18) residential units instead of the twenty (20) townhouse units approved by 40M-1977. 6. ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY 6.1 The subject lands are currently zoned "Urban Residential Type Three (R3)", which permits single detached dwellings, semi-detached (linked) dwellings and townhouses. The application would conform with the provisions of the Zoning By-law. 7. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSION 7.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site and a public meeting notice sign was installed on the lands. 7.2 As of the writing of this report, no inquiries have been received on this application. 8. AGENCY COMMENTS 8.1 The following agencies provided comments of no objection to the Official Plan Amendment application: 603 REPORT NO.: PD -063-00 • Clarington Fire Department; • Clarington Building Division; ■ Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority; ■ Veridian Connections; and ■ Regional Health Department. PAGE 4 8.2 The Clarington Public Works Department has no objection in principle to the proposed amendment. However, the following concerns will be required through the Land Division process: 1) The applicant is required to submit a revised engineering design and grading scheme for 40M-1977, to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works; 2) The applicant is required to provide any easements deemed necessary by the Director of Public Works; 3) The applicant will be required to provide a Letter of Credit for all works deemed necessary by the Director of Public Works; and 4) The applicant will be required to enter into a Development Agreement with the Municipality that identifies all works deemed necessary by the Director of Public Works. 8.3 The Regional Planning Department has reviewed the application with respect to compliance with the Regional Official Plan, delegated provincial plan review responsibilities and the proposed method of servicing. Regional Planning would have no objection to the application and finds there arc no provincial concerns. This application is exempt from Regional Planning approval. 9. COMMENTS 9.1 The Apple Blossom Neighbourhood is located north of Concession Street East and extends from Liberty Street to the west side of Soper Creek, south of the C.P. Rail line. This "Neighbourhood" contains five medium density symbols. The plans for these lands indicated 17.3 percent of the dwelling units would be medium density. At this time sixty medium density units have been constructed. The elimination of the subject townhouse units will reduce the percentage of medium density dwellings to 16.0 percent. - 6 ,� 4 REPORT NO.: PD -063-00 PAGE 5 The Neighbourhood currently contains or has applications submitted for a total of 1489 dwelling units. The application has increased the number of dwelling units through the Land Division process by reconfiguring some of the larger single detached.lots into semi- detached lots. Including the reduction of the townhouse units, the total number of dwellings for this Neighbourhood is still 1489 units. It would appear the deletion of the Medium Density symbol would not have significant impact on the housing mix or total unit yield in the Apple Blossom Neighbourhood. 9.2 As Blocks 137, 138, 140 and 141 are within a registered plan of subdivision, an amendment to draft approval is not an option for reconfiguring the subdivision and creating new lots. Land Division applications will be required to create the new lots for semi-detached (linked) dwellings. The Land Division process also provides the mechanism for the Municipality to ensure that all engineering works are designed and constructed satisfactorily and that sufficient monies are given for performance guarantees. Letters of Credit currently collected through the subdivision process do not cover the amended engineering works required for the semi-detached (linked) lots. The applicant has concerns with this process but staff see no other way of proceeding. 9.3 Given that staff have received no inquiries on this application, the limited nature of the proposed changes and the upcoming summer recess of Council, unless there are objections raised at the Public Meeting, it is recommended that application to amend the Official Plan be approved at this time. 9.4 The Region has indicated that this application is exempt from Regional approval. Accordingly, the Municipality's Clerk will issue the Notice of Decision upon Council adoption of the Official Plan Amendment. The Decision will become final upon the expiry of the 20 day appeal period. REPORT NO.: PD -063-00 PAGE 6 10. CONCLUSIONS 10.1 In consideration of the comments contained within this report, it is respectfully recommended that Official Plan Amendment No. 18 to the Clarington Official Plan, to permit the removal of the Medium Density Symbol on Lownie Court in Plan 40M-1977, be APPROVED.

ADDENDUM REPORT PD -072-00 2. COMMENTS PAGE 2 After a preliminary examination of the recommended changes, it is apparent that any changes to the original recommendations will have development charges and ether budgetary implications. Since the issues associated with these recommended changes are complex and cannot be effectively resolved within a few days it is proposed that they be referred back to staff to be considered within the context of the proposed Financial plan for Land Aquistion which is anticipated to be brought to Council in October 2000. In order to expedite the completion of the Financial Plan it is recommended that Craig Binning of CSB Inc. be retained by the Municipality to work with staff in developing this Plan and that the fees for his services be funded through the Working Fund Reserve Account Number 2900-1-X.

The Clarington Official Plan 1999, recommends the adoption of a public land acquisition program which, among other matters, shall identify priority areas of acquisition. In July 1999, Council requested staff to prepare the land acquisition report for adoption. The Land Acquisition Strategy report (forwarded separately) provides a phased approach to the acquisition of land for a variety of public uses. It is intended to serve as a guide for the systematic acquisition of lands using a number of mechanisms. The proposed phasing of land acquisitions are identified on Maps 1, 2 and 3. The proposed Land Acquisition Strategy was developed in consultation with the Departments of Community Services, Public Works, Fire and Treasury. REPORT NO.: PD -072-00 PAGE 2 2.

UNFINISHED BUSINEE THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON REPORT Meeting: GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE File # Date: JULY 3, 2000 Res. # Report No.: WD -34-00 By -Law # Subject: BOWMANVILLE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA REQUEST FOR NEW SIGNAGE Recommendations: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report WD -34-00 be received; - 2. THAT the request by the Bowmanville B.I.A. for a promotional sign at the Garnet B. Rickard Complex be denied; and 3. THAT permission be granted for the Bowmanville B.I.A. to place a promotional sign at the Tourism Information Centre, Liberty Street South, Bowmanville, for public events, provided the signs are only displayed for two weeks prior to each event. REPORT 1.0 ATTACHMENTS No. 1: Correspondence dated March 16, 2000 from Bowmanville B.I.A. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 At a meeting held March 27, 2000, the Council of the Municipality of Clarington passed the following resolution: "That the correspondence item D-14 be referred to the Chief Administrative Officer to review with the appropriate staff and prepare a report for consideration of the General Purpose and Administration Committee." REPORT NO.: WD -34-00 PAGE Correspondence was forwarded to F. Wu, Chief Administrative Officer and S. Vokes, Director of Public Works. 3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT 3.1 The request from Garth Gilpin is to place two additional Bowmanville Business Improvement Area promotional signs to promote the various festivals held in the downtown core. The proposed locations are both adjacent to regional roads, Regional Road 14 (Liberty Street South) at the Tourism Centre and Regional Road 57 at the Garnet B. Rickard Complex, but placed on Municipality of Clarington property. The proposed signs Would be similar to the existing signs located within the B.I.A. area, except the new sign supports would have signs on both sides to be visible for both northbound and southbound traffic. 3.2 Comments from the Region of Durham included the fact that the signs would not comply with the Regional sign by-law and any request for the signs to be erected within the regional road allowance would meet resistance. The Region was also concerned that the B.I.A. promotional signs were well out of the actual B.I.A. designated area and may raise concerns with the Bowmanville Mail and the Bowmanville West Commercial Area. 3.3 The Planning Department advised with respect to the original proposal, that under the Municipality's Sign By-law 97-157, as amended, businesses are permitted one (1) off-site directional sign with the maximum size being 1.5 square metres. These signs are only permitted on lands for industrial, commercial or agricultural use. The lands on which the Tourism Information Centre is located are zoned "Environmental Protection (EP)".The Garnet B. Rickard Recreational Complex is zoned "Agricultural (A)". These signs exceed the maximum allowable sign area and are in one instance proposed on lands not appropriately zoned. The proposal for the installation of 2 signposts on the Tourist Information Centre lands, on which promotional signs will be installed 2 weeks prior to any event would be classified as a "Community Service Sign". A Community Service Sign is defined as "a temporary sign for the purpose of announcing a community function or event sponsored by a non-profit organization". Section 3.2.1(i) of the Sign By-law exempts public uses from the provisions of the By-law. The B.I.A is deemed to be a public use, and as such, the public use provisions of the By-law would prevail. They do caution, it is REPORT NO.: WD -34-00 PAGE important that the intent of the Sign By-law be kept intact and that public uses, including the B.IA, provide leadership, setting an example when it comes to the erection of signs. 3.4 Concerns from the Tourism Information Centre included the fact that they are often inundated with temporary signs which they must remove. Approval of the request may be precedent setting for other groups or organizations with similar ideas and that, if approved, could only be the beginning of future sign requests. The size of the sign is a concern and will affect the appearance of the property and may receive criticism from other businesses, which are not being given the same opportunities to promote themselves. If the promotional signs were installed only 2 weeks prior to each event, it may be less intrusive than a permanent sign. 3.5 Community Services advised that the Garnet B. Rickard Recreational Complex proposed Sign location would not suit the desired image for the facility. There are also long term plans for the complex including a digital sign, and Staff wish to maintain a proper image for the facility. 3.6 Public Works is concerned about the proliferation of signs that detract from regulatory, directional and warning signs. The B.I.A. is presently suggesting double -sided signs, the same size as the existing signs. Unfortunately, the new signs being proposed will be farther off the road, and to be visible to motorists would need to be much larger, particularly at the Rickard Recreational Complex. A concern exists that the requested locations would be approved and then a subsequent request would come forward to make the signs larger. Staff are also concerned that future additional requests may come forward for signing at other municipal properties from either the B.I.A. or other groups. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS 4.1 The proposed Garnet B. Rickard Recreational Complex sign location is impractical due to the distance from the travelled portion of the roadway. Staff has concerns regarding the Tourism Information Centre location, but concerns are lessened if the signs are promoting the actual event, as a "Public Use Sign", and are only displayed two weeks prior to each REPORT NO.: WD -34-00 PAGE event. In summary, Staff at Clarington and the Region have difficulty if the sign is intended as a directional or advertising sign to specifically promote the downtown business airea.
