Public notice for proposed Modification #173 and proposed Official Plan Amendment # 19 to the Clarington Official Plan was placed in The Canadian Statesman on August 9, 2000. The notice procedures are in compliance with the Ontario Regulations made under the Planning Act. 302 G.P. & A. Minutes -3- Sept. 5, 2000 . PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D. Report PD-078-00 - Foster Creek Developments and Robert Stephenson - the purpose and effect ofthe three applications is to: i) relocate the designated Neighbourhood Park and Public Elementary School from the south side of the collector road in the east part of the Foster Neighbourhood to the north side of the collectorroad; ii) permit the development of a plan of subdivision consisting of 634 residential units, a neighbourhood park, public elementary school, open space blocks and storm water management pond; and iii) rezone the subject lands from "Holding-Urban Residential Type One ((H)RI)" and "Environmental Protection (EP)" to appropriate Zones to implement the development of the 634 unit proposed plan of subdivision. Joe Whibbs, Chair, Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic District School Board, 1355 Lansdowne Street West, Peterborough, K9J 7M3 introduced several Members of the Board including Joel Sloggett, Manager of Planning. . Joel Sloggett, Manager of Planning, Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic District School Board, 1355 Lansdowne Street West, Peterborough, K9J 7M3 referred to his correspondence dated August 15,2000 to the Planning Department wherein he expressed concerns pertaining to the construction of this subdivision. He stated that, within the former Village of Newcastle, the Board has one elementary school, St. Francis of Assisi. Enrolment at the school has increased dramatically over the past few years and operates at 100% above capacity. Based on the referenced 634 planned units, it is projected that the pupil yield for the Catholic Board will be approximately 130 students and until such time as a new school site is acquired, it will be extremely difficult to accommodate such a large number of students. Based on these projections and the fact that the Separate School Board has not found a site for a new school, it would appear that the Foster North Development is premature. Members ofthe Board are willing to hold discussions with all relevant parties. Bob Willsher, Vice Chair and School Trustee, Kawartba Pineridge District School Board, 1994 Fisher Drive, Peterborougb, K9J 6X6 noted objection to stafrs recommendation in Report PD-078-00 which suggested that the Public School and Separate School sites could be switched. He expressed his willingness to dialogue with all parties. Tim Howe, 1 Grady Drive, Newcastle, LIB requested clarification on the ramifications of the removal ofthe EP Zoning. Sberri Farrell, Chair, School Council, St. Francis of Assisi Elementary Separate Scbool, 2773 Delwood Drive, Newcastle, LIB lL9 advised that she represents approximately 200 families and over 420 school children. St. Francis of Assisi has been overcrowded for almost 10 years and the enrohnent is at 212% over capacity. Much of the learning actually takes place in the corridor of the school. She requested that Council find a solution to this crisis situation. . No one spoke in support of the application. 303 G.P. & A. Minutes -4- Sept. 5, 2000 . PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D. Mary Rycroft on behalf ofGM Sernas and Associates, 110 Scotia Court, Unit 41, Whitby, LIN 8Y7 advised that her client is of the opinion that the cost of the construction of the Grady Drive Bridge should not be the responsibility of the developer but is a development charges issue. The developer is willing to build the road allowance. In her opinion, the switching of the Public and Separate School sites is not necessarily the solution to the problem of the Separate School Board finding a site for their new school. She expressed a willingness to liase with all relevant parties in an attempt to resolve the issues. Resolution #GPA-361-00 Moved by Mayor Hamre, seconded by Councillor Rowe THAT the committee recess for 15 minutes. "CARRIED" The meeting reconvened at 9:00 p.m. Councillor Schell stated a pecuniary interest with respect to Report PD-079-00; vacated his chair and refrained from discussion and voting on the subject matter. Councillor Schell's employer is Blue Circle Canada Inc. which is an Aggregate producer and a member of the Aggregate Producers Association of Ontario (AP AO). . Report PD-079-00 - Settlement of Referral 5 and Associated Appeals Aggregate Producers Association of Ontario Natural Heritage and Aggregate Policies - the purpose and effect of the applications is to introduce a comprehensive set of policies both new and revised within the Municipality's Official Plan dealing with environmental, open space, aggregate and other associated policies. These new policies are in response to referrals and appeals of the Clarington Official Plan by the Aggregate Producers of Ontario. The revisions incorporate the changes necessary to bring the environmental and aggregate policies of the Official Plan into compliance with the Provincial Policy Statement. Libby Racansky, 3200 Haneock Road, Conrtice, LIE 2Ml advised that, although her name and that of other residents was placed on the list of interested parties for the OMB hearing, not one of these parties was invited to participate in the process. She noted that map G clearly indicates that both the Oak Ridges Moraine and Lake Iroquois Beach are primary areas of the Aggregate resource in Clarington. She seeked clarification as to why the Black-Farewell Complex, Steven's Gulch, Clark's Summit Swamp and Newtonville Bog are not given the same special protection as the Ganaraska and the Long Sault Forest. She suggested that the Municipality should require core testing to determine whether or not certain areas mapped on map G have a good commercial quality of Aggregate. Section 19.4.4 of Report PD-079-00 should correct parts of the corridor of Highway 407 to designate them as an open major system rather than "green space". She also suggested that only Major Open Space and Green Space terms should be used to identify or relate to natural processes. Linda Gasser, P.O. Box 399, Orono, LOB lMO circulated a document dated September 5, 2000 wherein she made the following points: . . Terminology contained in the Official Plan Amendment No. 19 needs to have stronger terms How and on what basis will the municipality identify watershed study priorities and will funds regularly be set aside in annual budgets to ensure that such commitments are kept? . 304 G.P. & A. Minutes - 5 - Sept. 5, 2000 . PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D. . . The terms and definitions in OPA 19 need to be clear and based on existing accepted defmitions otherwise interpretations will vary and will result in expensive and rancourous arguments . Not all wetlands in Clarington has been evaluated by MNR to date and this should be investigated . Intermittent streams can be a critically important component of fish habitats and deserve the highest level of protection. Such issues can best be understood in the context of watershed and sub-watershed studies; and . Any policies which could affect water resources need to be re-examined regularly as new information becomes available. She requested that Report PD-079-00 be referred back to staff for preparation of a subsequent report. Kerry Meydam, 3828 Trulls Road, Courtice, LIE 2L3 suggested that, because of the numerous variables associated with the Official Plan Amendment No. 19, this should become part of the Official Plan Review and noted concurrence with the recommendation that this matter be referred back to staff. Katberiue Guselle, SAGA, 45 Connaugbt Street, Osbawa, LlG 2Hlappeared on behalf of SAGA and expressed support for the recommendations contained in Report PD-079-00 because, although not perfect, they represent a good foundation for the future. She noted that Members of SAGA were pleased to be invited and to participate in the process. Wayne Fairbrotber, Templeman, Menninga Barristers and Solicitors, 205 Dundas Street East, Suite 200, P.O. Box 234, Belleville, K8N SA2 noted that the process was an excellent exchange of the positions of all parties and represented a fair balance of the interest of all parties. He expressed support for the recommended policies and hopes that Council will approve the document presented to them. PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Official Plan Amendment Appl. Foster Creek!
