No one spoke in opposition to or in support of the application. Ed Vanhaverbeke, on behalf of the applicant, was present to answer questions. He noted that the property is owned in trust for Syvan Developments and it is their intention to move their offices there. Mr. Vanhaverbeke added that, at this time, it would only be Syvan offices. (b) Subject: Application to Amend the Official Plan and an Associated Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan Applicant: Municipality of Clarington Report: PSD- 052 -12 Lisa Backus, Senior Planner, made a verbal and PowerPoint presentation to the Committee regarding the application. Councillor Woo left the meeting at 10:00 a.m. John Stephenson, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. Mr. Stephenson noted that the present Official Plan review should be in the context of the challenges of the future. He stated that he is concerned that the application does not take into account the economic and environmental changes which will take place in the future. Mr. Stephenson stated that he believes that Highway 2 should be a major transportation route with a rapid transit corridor, using light rail transportation. He added that he believes that, within five years, fuel will be too costly, automobile use should decrease, and bicycle use should increase. Mr. Stephenson noted that the proposed plan removes 1100 intensification units from the urban areas designated N3 to N12, but adds residential units near the Highway 2 which he believes is too far away from the commercial and employment lands. He stated that the proposal overlooks the fact that the Courtice Mainstreet corner is at Townline. Mr. Stephenson encouraged the Municipality to plan for smaller (6002ft to 9002ft in area), more efficient, stronger, residential units. He stated that he does not believe that we need to strengthen corridors between town and village centres. Mr. Stephenson stated that he believes paragraphs 10.1.5 and 10.2.7 and 10.5.6 of Report PSD- 052 -12 need to be deleted or M 4 -6 General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes November 26, 2012 modified. He added that the proposed new Courtice Town Centre should be located on the south west corner of Courtice Road and Highway 2. Mr. Stephenson stated that he believes the fire station should be located on Highway 2. He concluded that he believes that the plan will cost a great deal of money and with the anticipated poor economy, he suggested that the plan should build on existing infrastructure. Jacqueline Bewick, local resident, expressed concerns with the look of the back of the new development which will be facing the existing residential neighbourhood. Bryce Jordan, Planning Manager, GHD, on behalf of Bonnydon Limited, spoke in opposition to the application. Mr. Jordan outlined the lands owned by Bonnydon Limited. He noted that the study shows the Bonnydon has environmental special study area lands within the property. Mr. Jordan noted that a previous study in September, 2012 had indicated that they were zoned medium density residential. He highlighted the chronology of events with regard to the Bonnydon property. Mr. Jordan stated that it is his client's position there have been too many years of commitments to development and therefore the property should be zoned medium density residential. He added that the development decisions made by the Municipality of Clarington consistently shows that developing the lands has taken precedence over of natural features. Mr. Jordan stated that his client wishes the process be moved forward with medium density residential land uses on the Bonnydon property. Valerie Cranmer, planning consultant for Otto Provenzano, area property owner, was present in support of the application. She stated that Mr. Provenzano is very supportive of being included in the Town Centre and supportive of the policies contained in the Secondary Plan. Vito Falconeri, representing Leonarda Falconeri, was present in support of the application. He stated that he has questions regarding the Bell infrastructure station located on Trull's Road south of Highway 2. (c) Subject: Application for a Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision Applicant: Bonnydon Limited Report: PSD- 053 -12 Carlo Pellarin, Senior Planner, made a verbal and PowerPoint presentation to the Committee regarding the application. -5- 4 —1 General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes November 26, 2012 Mark Hobe, local resident, stated that he is concerned about the small size of Lots 33 to 35. Mr. Hobe is concerned about the types of development and the impact on the local neighbourhood. He is also concerned about Sandringham becoming an artery, with increased traffic and therefore requested that the driveways be placed on the backside of the properties in order to reduce traffic issues. In conclusion, Mr. Hobe stated that he is in favour of the application. Dave White, local resident, stated that he is concerned about the grading of the proposed development and the impact it will have on his property as he is already been affected by the Fire Hall. He asked whether catch basins will be put in place in order to alleviate future problems with drainage. No one spoke in support of the application. Bryce Jordan, Planning Manager, GHD, planning and engineering consultants for Bonnydon Limited, on behalf of the applicant, was present to address concerns. He stated that Lots 33 to 35 are intended to merge with existing lots and will become full lots. Regarding Sandringham, he agreed that it will become an efficient route to access Trulls Road, and that it is designated as a collector road. Mr. Jordan stated that the driveways are intended to exit into a laneway behind the houses, not accessing directly on Sandringham. He stated that the plans for the grading should not result in increased flows on the property and perhaps Mr. White's grading issues may be solved by the development. Mr. Jordan noted that Section 2.6 of Report PSD- 053 -12 indicates that there has been little activity on the development file since 1996. He explained that this delay was not due to a lack of interest, but rather because of the impending secondary plan. He added that discussions started again in 2011. Mr. Jordan referred to Section 2.7 of Report PSD- 053 -12, regarding a hydro geological study, noting that there has been a recent study which confirms that the area is not a high re- charge area. He- stated that his client does not believe that further study regarding the environmental protection area and watercourse is required. He noted that any watercourse may have been cut off by the building of the Fire Hall in Courtice. Mr. Jordan looks forward to the discussions highlighted in Section 12 of Report PSD- 053 -12.

THAT the proposed Clarington Official Plan Amendment No. 80 (COPA 2012 -0002) (Attachment 7) to implement the revised Hancock Neighbourhood Design Plan (Attachments 4, 5 and 6) continue to be processed including the preparation of a subsequent recommendation report; and 3. THAT all interested parties listed in Report PSD- 054 -12 and any delegations be advised of Council's decision. Submitted by: Reviewed by: (-- _. vid rom , MCIP, RPP Franklin Wu Director, Planning Services Chief Administrative Officer ATS /CP /df 5 December 2012 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T 905 - 623 -3379 8 -1 1.1 The purpose of the public meeting is to allow for public comment and discussion regarding a municipally- initiated Clarington Official Plan Amendment to implement revisions to the Hancock Neighbourhood Design Plan. 1.2 The Hancock Neighbourhood is within the Courtice Urban Area (Attachment 1) and the neighbourhood has a gross area of 113 hectares. 2.1 The existing Clarington Official Plan requires the preparation of a Neighbourhood Design Plan (NDP) prior to consideration of any plan of subdivision. The purpose of a NDP is to provide the conceptual details of the neighbourhood and thus provide direction for the preparation and review of development applications. Unlike a Secondary Plan, NDP does not have status under The Planning Act, nor does it require Council approval. The NDP is approved by the Director of Engineering Services and the Director of Planning Services. 2.2 In 1992 and 1994, Courtice Heights Development filed two subdivision applications referred to as 18T -92014 and 18T -94027 (depicted on Attachment 2). The Hancock NDP was developed and approved alongside the two plans of subdivision. Council approved the subdivision applications and the Director of Planning and Development and the Director of Public Works approved the Hancock NDP in September 1998. 2.3 However, in August of 1999 the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) released mapping for the Black- Farewell Wetland Complex which included a number of wetland areas in the Hancock neighbourhood (Attachment 2). The wetland is now referred to as the Harmony - Farewell Iroquois Beach Provincially Significant Wetland Complex. The identification of Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSWs) means that some lands previously shown for development in the 1998 NDP must now be protected. These lands were not originally identified as part of the provincially significant Black Farewell Wetland Complex because they were isolated from other natural heritage features or were transitional in nature. 2.4 Other initiatives that necessitate the update to the Hancock NDP include the following: • Release of Provincial Growth Plans and Regional Official Plan Amendment to implement Provincial Policy (ROPA 128); • Needs of the local school boards; and, • Approved alignment of the East Durham Link to Highway 407. 2.5 In Fall 2011, Planning Staff developed a steering committee which included Planning and Engineering Staff, Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and Niblett Environmental Associates Ltd. to commence with the revisions to the Hancock NDP and the Clarington Official Plan amendment that would implement the revisions. E REPORT NO.: PSD- 054 -12 PAGE 3 2.6 The original Official Plan Amendment No. 80 (OPA 80) proposed to amend the Environmental Protection Area limits to reflect the identified Provincially Significant Wetlands across the municipality. Since then, Official Plan Amendment No. 80 has been scoped to implement revisions to the Hancock NDP, and PSWs (outside of the Hancock neighbourhood) will be addressed through the Official Plan review. 2.7 A public information centre was held at the Courtice Community Complex on June 14, 2012 and was well attended. In response to wetland- specific comments, a second public information centre was held at Courtice Secondary School on October 10, 2012. Staff from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Central Lake Conservation Authority were also in attendance. This report presents the draft Hancock NDP dated November 2012 and a draft Official Plan Amendment for public consideration and comments through the statutory public meeting. 3. LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 3.1 An air photo of the neighbourhood is provided in Attachment 3. Lands within the Hancock Neighbourhood have varied characteristics, including: • Lands used for agricultural purposes; • Natural, forested /vegetated /wetland areas and tributaries; • Developed urban residential lots in plans of subdivision; • Undeveloped lands in a draft plan of subdivision; • Existing single detached dwellings on semi -rural lots with private servicing or municipal water /private septic; and • Other existing uses such as: a church, an auto wrecker and parkland. 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: North - Rural lands outside the Courtice Urban area and within the Protected Countryside area of the Greenbelt South - Commercial plaza, Rural Residences and Farm Land on the south side of Highway -2 corridor and future Hwy. 2/407 East Link interchange with transit way station East - Lands outside the Courtice Urban area and within the Protected Countryside area of the Greenbelt West - Urban residential uses 4. PROVINCIAL POLICY 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) The PPS identifies settlement areas as the focus of growth. Land use patterns shall be based on densities and a mix of lands uses that efficiently use land, resources and infrastructure. Energy efficiency and improved air quality is promoted by a compact urban form, a mix of uses and utilization of public transit. Natural features, surface water features and ground water features shall be protected. 8 -3 e. a k, a 911M 4.2 Greenbelt Plan — not applicable 4.3 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan) The subject lands are partially within the greenfield area and partially within the defined built boundary of the provincial Growth Plan. The Growth Plan establishes the target of 50 jobs and residents combined per net hectare in the greenfield area and a minimum of 40 percent of all new residential development, should be within the built boundary. Both targets are measured across the Region of Durham. The Growth Plan encourages the creation of complete communities that are compact and transit - supportive, offering a diverse mix of land uses, a range and mix of employment and housing types, high quality public open space and easy access to local stores and services. The Growth Plan supports the identification and protection of natural heritage features and areas that complement, link, or enhance natural systems. 5. OFFICIAL PLANS 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the lands as "Living Areas ". Key Natural Hydrologic and Heritage Features and High Aquifer vulnerability areas exist in the neighbourhood. Lands within this designation shall be used predominantly for housing purposes incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes, and tenure. Living Areas shall be developed in a compact form through higher densities and by intensifying and redeveloping existing areas, particularly along arterial roads. Key natural heritage and hydrologic features are to be protected. 5.2 Regional Official Plan Amendment No. 128 Consistent with the Growth Plan, Regional Official Plan Amendment No. 128 includes policies that require urban areas to achieve the following growth management objectives on a Region -wide basis: a) by 2015, and each year thereafter, accommodate a minimum 40% of all residential development through intensification within built -up areas; and b) develop greenfield areas in the Lake Ontario Shoreline municipalities at a minimum gross density of 50 persons and jobs combined per hectare. Typically, greenfield development will occur following the approval of a Secondary Plan. However, in the case of the Hancock Neighbourhood, the land is very fragmented and most parcels are less than 8 ha (20 acres). Development of greenfield Living Areas that are less than approximately 20 hectares may proceed in the absence of a secondary plan, if the area municipality is certain conditions are satisfied. 5.3 Clarington Official Plan Within the Clarington Official Plan, the subject lands are predominantly designated as Urban Residential and Environmental Protection Area. Other land use designations :10013 a DZI PAGE 5 include Neighbourhood Park, Neighbourhood Centre (commercial), and sites targeted for medium density residential development, as well one public elementary and one separate elementary school. The Hancock Neighbourhood has a current population allocation of 2900 and a housing unit target of 975. The existing Environmental Protection Area includes watercourses, significant woodlots and some of the wetlands as identified on Map C1, Natural Heritage System. The subject site is within the Lake Iroquois Beach. The wetlands are part of the Harmony - Farewell Iroquois Beach Wetland Complex, a Provincially Significant Wetland. The Transportation Map identifies Arterial Roads including Nash Road and Courtice Road which are designed to move significant volumes of traffic, and several collector roads including George Reynolds Drive, Moyse Drive and Hancock Road which are designed to move moderate volumes of traffic. Neighbourhood Design Plans are required under the Clarington Official Plan and provide a conceptual plan of the future development of an entire neighbourhood and include: • Road alignments and standards; • Sidewalks, trail systems and walkways; • Potential cycling and transit routes • Potential lotting; and • Siting of schools, parks, open space lands, stormwater management facilities and other community /utility uses. 6. SUMMARY OF NATURAL ENVIRONMENT BACKGROUND REPORT 6.1 A Natural Environment Background Report prepared by Niblett Environmental Associates Ltd. ( Niblett) was completed in support of the revised Hancock Neighbourhood Design Plan. Niblett's report had the following objectives: a) On a broad level, derive a constraints and opportunities plan, that would generally identify the location and extent of natural heritage features; b) Provide advice on suitable buffer widths; c) Provide environmental background information to assist with selecting appropriate servicing and transportation corridors which would avoid or minimize environmental impacts, to the extent possible; and d) Provide the appropriate environmental background information to assist with defining residential limits of development. Niblett's mapping is based on information from MNR and CLOCA, including the Black /Harmony /Farewell Creek Existing Conditions Report, relevant EIS reports completed for area developments, and the consultant's familiarity of the area. 1:7197 i0 Lem 9- 11mailfl9 +a Niblett's work does not replace the requirement for detailed field work and study through Environmental Impact Study (EIS) associated with site specific development applications, should the lands be within 120 metres of an identified feature. Niblett's report summarized the following recommendations: • Utilize 30 metre buffer from the wetland boundary, with lots outside the buffer, and a 10 m setback from the dripline of the forest, whichever is greater (to be further defined through an EIS required at the time of development); • Utilize existing forest area as buffer;. Fencing of rear lots to minimize impacts on forest and wetland features to the satisfaction of the Municipality of Clarington and CLOCA; • Require submission of an edge management plan for the 30 m buffer; • Implement measures to reduce light and noise impacts on the protected natural areas; • Require developers /builders to prepare a homeowners guide /environmental awareness brochure to educate future homeowners about the environmentally - sensitive natural features in their neighbourhood; and • maintain surface water runoff toward the wetlands, outside of that captured by the stormwater system. 6.2 Niblett's report assessed the completion of George Reynolds Drive between Courtice Road and Harry Gay Drive. The location of the east -west collector road alignment is consistent with the 1998 NDP and would have the least environmental impact, however measures to mitigate environmental impacts are recommended including: • Install culverts to maintain flows and accommodate wildlife movement (eco- passages); • Limit ditching or diversions to stormwater system; • Narrow right -of -way and /or pavement width; • Limit grading and slopes and retain tree cover; • Provide additional plantings to seal forest edge; • Install fencing to ensure use of eco- passage; • Post speed reductions and wildlife awareness signage; • Limit light penetration; and • Construct outside of breeding bird season (May 1St– July 31St) 6.3 Niblett's report also assessed the feasibility of allowing lands to be developed on the south side of George Reynolds Drive, just west of Hancock Road. Lands were identified for future development on the south side of George Reynolds Drive in the draft approved plan of subdivision. These were subsequently registered as 'blocks' and can only be developed into lots when abutting lands to the south are acquired. The blocks have been pre - serviced in keeping with the 1998 Hancock NDP. These lands are impacted by the minimum 30 metre buffer to the PSW and only five (5) of the thirteen (13) potential future lots are now identified as being permitted to develop, pending the acquisition of other lands and Planning Act approvals. Maintaining the 30 metre buffer will assist in preserving the function of the wetland and upland forest and some of the vacant cleared lands could be restored to enhance the functional natural heritage system. • . REPORT NO.: PSD- 054 -12 7. BLACK /HARMONY /FAREWELL CREEK WATERSHED PLAN PAGE 7 7.1 The Hancock Neighbourhood falls within the Black Creek Watershed. Under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, watershed plans are to be completed for all watersheds within the Moraine. The headwaters of the Black Creek watershed originates from the Oak Ridges Moraine. 7.2 The final Black /Harmony /Farewell Creek Existing Conditions Report was adopted by CLOCA's Board of Directors at their April 2011 meeting. The first phase, the Existing Conditions Report, provides an assessment of the state of the watershed by examining the following components: human heritage; green space; land use and policy; impervious surfaces; air quality; climate; physical geography; water budget; water temperature; surface water quality; surface water quantity; stormwater management; fluvial geomorphology; hydrogeology; aquatic habitat and fisheries; terrestrial natural heritage; and wetlands. 7.3 Following this report, alternative management options were identified and discussed. A Public Information Centre was held to discuss the Draft Black/Harmony /Farewell Creek Watershed Plan on November 6, 2012. 7.4 The final phase will confirm the recommended management options and include an implementation and monitoring plan. The recommended management options, implementation and monitoring plan will be presented to the public and stakeholders and will complete the watershed plan for the Black/Harmony /Farewell Creeks. 7.5 While the watershed planning process assisted in identifying the existing natural heritage system and the targeted natural heritage system, the full implementation of the objectives and recommendations of the Watershed Plans will be part of the Official Plan review and ongoing implementation actions by the CLOCA. 8. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 8.1 On June 14, 2012 a Public Information Centre (PIC) was held at the Courtice Community Complex. Public notice for the PIC was given by mail to each landowner within the neighbourhood and all interested parties. Notices were also placed on the municipal website and in the local newspaper. A summary of the comments received and responses are included in Attachment 8. 8.2 A second PIC was held October 10, 2012 at Courtice Secondary School. Public notice was given by mail to each landowner where PSWs or the 30 metre buffer areas have been identified on their land. Notices were also placed on the municipal website. A summary of the comments received and responses are included in Attachment 8. 8.3 Public notice for the Statutory Public Meeting scheduled for December 10, 2012 was given by mail to each landowner within the neighbourhood and all who have previously expressed an interest in the process. Notices were also placed in the local newspaper and on the municipal website. A summary of the comments received to date and responses are included in Attachment 8. 8 -7 -• -_ 6 ■ 91 IMI 9.1 Regional Planning The proposed Clarington Official Plan Amendment would satisfy the intent of the Regional Official Plan to achieve a compact urban form, including intensive residential uses along. arterial roads in conjunction with present and potential transit facilities. The proposed housing and population targets will approach the density targets as outlined in Regional Official Plan Amendment No. 128 to the Regional Official Plan. The Region highlights that future proponents of development will be required to satisfy their requirements with respect to: Site contamination — completion of the Site Screening Questionnaire or a suitable Environmental Site Assessment/Record of Site Condition; Noise completion of a Noise Impact Study and implement noise control measures; and ® Archaeological — completion of an archaeological assessment. Services are available to the Hancock Neighbourhood. Future road widening will be determined at the time of development. 9.2 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority ( CLOCA) CLOCA has provided comments on the Natural Environment Background Report prepared by Niblett Environmental Associates Limited. CLOCA has worked closely with Clarington Planning and Engineering Staff through the review of the NDP and generally concurs with the natural heritage system mapping and the lands to be included in the Environmental Protection area. CLOCA has no objection to the creation of the special study area and related policies. CLOCA does not object to the extension of George Reynolds Drive provided mitigative measures as identified in the Natural Environment Background Report are implemented during the detailed design of the road. CLOCA will be involved in reviewing the detailed development applications and accompanying EIS once submitted. 9.3 Peterborough Victoria Northumberland Clarington District Catholic School Board Comments from PVNCDC School Board confirmed that the Hancock NDP should continue to plan for a separate elementary school in the neighbourhood. The 1998 Hancock NDP illustrated a school site interior to the neighbourhood south of Nash Road, proximate to the parkette, and adjacent to the Black Creek valley. Clarington Planning and Engineering Staff and PVNCDC School Board Staff discussed the merits of shifting the site north to allow for access via Nash Road, an arterial road, with additional access via roads to the south and east of the school block. This location `. . REPORT NO.: PSD- 054 -12 PAGE 9 would be well- connected with road and pedestrian connections in an effort to mitigate future traffic concerns. Peterborough- Victoria - Northumberland and Clarington District School Board (PVNCDSB) supports the location of the separate elementary school block. 9.4 Other agencies Regional Health, Rogers Cable and Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board have no objections to the draft NDP and draft Official Plan amendment. 10. DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 10.1 Engineering Services The Engineering Services Department has provided comments and are summarized as follows: Extension of George Reynolds Drive George Reynolds Drive is identified as a collector road in the Clarington Official Plan. The alignment connects Hancock Road from the east, and extends west of Trulls Road, before it connects to Nash Road to the south. From a traffic planning perspective, constructing George Reynolds Drive between Courtice Road and Harry Gay Drive is necessary to complete the grid road network as originally planned. George Reynolds Drive is one of few east -west connections north of Highway 2 in Courtice. Completing this connection will better distribute traffic, reduce turning movements at isolated intersections, prevent further congestion along Nash Road and Highway 2 and is beneficial from emergency response and winter maintenance perspectives. In addition to providing improved route selection choices for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, completing this road section as planned will assist the Municipality of Clarington and the Region of Durham in achieving their goals of improving future transit ridership as this link location is ideal for a future transit route. The completion of George Reynolds Drive will also complement the extension of Adelaide Avenue which will terminate at Trulls Road. Engineering is, confident that mitigations identified in the Natural Environment Background Report can be instituted and in consultation with CLOCA during the detailed design of the road. East -West Collector Road (South of Nash Road) The Official Plan currently shows the extension of Moyse Drive, a collector street, easterly to Hancock Road. Subject to minor realignment, the draft NDP maintains this connection as it is an important part of developing the grid network for the neighbourhood and will improve traffic circulation. Location of Separate Elementary School Block PAGE 10 Previous drafts of the NDP located the separate elementary school block at the corner of Nash Road, an arterial road, and Hancock Road, a collector road. Engineering staff and public comments raised concerns about the location at the corner and the potential for traffic conflicts. The school block has been shifted west to address this comment. On -site traffic management will be addressed at the site plan stage. Stormwater Management A small stormwater management block has been added adjacent to the Moyse Parkette. This is to accommodate a small drainage area in the southeast corner of the neighbourhood that does not drain to the Macourtice Pond. Both stormwater quantity and quality controls will be assessed through future development applications and will require detailed review by Clarington Engineering Staff and CLOCA. Neighbourhood Park A portion of the 30 metre buffer surrounding the PSW is within the neighbourhood park block. Natural features and buffers to those features are not considered to be parkland, however, in the case of the Hancock Neighbourhood park block, the dedication was approved prior to the release of the wetland mapping for the area. This results in less developable land within the park block than what was originally contemplated as no site alteration or development can occur within the 30 metre buffer. The park is currently being constructed. Former Parkette Block The parkette block previously shown in the northwest part of the 1998 Hancock NDP is no longer required given its small size and location proximate to Harry Gay Park. Servicing Connections Certain lands have been pre - serviced based on the 1998 NDP along the south side of George Reynolds and along the east side of Harry Gay Drive. If the revised NDP results in the relocation or abandonment of service connections, the developer will be responsible for 100% of the cost to do so. 10.2 Emergency and Fire Services The extension of George Reynolds Drive is supported from an emergency response perspective. 10.3 Operations The Operations Department is opposed to any right -of -way that is less than 20 metres in width. 8 °10 REPORT NO.: PSD- 054 -12 10.4 Building Division The Building Division has no objections to the proposed amendment. 11. DISCUSSION PAGE 11 11.1 The redesign of the Hancock NDP has involved municipal staff and CLOCA, with assistance from an environmental consultant. Development constraints, such as natural features and buffers, limit the possibilities for road and servicing connections. Further, much of the redesign has to complement existing development or existing approvals. 11.2 Niblett's Draft Natural Environment Background Report, November 2012, is supportive of the revised Hancock NDP, November 2012. Any comments received on the current draft will be considered and incorporated into the final report prior to approval. 11.3 A summary of public submissions and responses is included as Attachment 8. The subsequent recommendation report will continue to report on comments received and revisions to the NDP or draft OPA 80. 11.4 Densities Population and Housing Growth The Hancock Neighbourhood has a current population allocation of 2900 and a housing unit target of 975. EXISTING Urban Area Housing Units Neighbourhoods Low Medium High Intensification Total N6 Hancock 850 100 0 25 975 % of Total 87% 10% 0% 3% 100% PROPOSED Urban Area Housing `Units Neighbourhoods Low Medium High I Intensification Total N6 Hancock 725 475 0 25 1225 of Total 59% 39% 0% 2% 100% The draft OPA 80 proposes to amend the housing targets by reducing the low density housing units by 125 and increasing the medium density housing units by 375. The draft Hancock NDP protects the interior, environmentally sensitive areas of the neighbourhood which were historically planned for additional single detached dwelling units, and increases density along Courtice Road, Nash Road and Hancock Road. Medium density development could account for 40% of the total units in the 8 -11 neighbourhood versus 10% according to the 1998 Hancock NDP. Overall, the target population for the neighbourhood has increased from 2900 to 3400. Much of the land in the Hancock Neighbourhood is within the Built Boundary of the Growth Plan including existing single detached dwellings on large semi -rural lots along Hancock Road and Courtice Road. These can redevelop over time and will contribute to the Growth Plan requirement to accommodate a minimum 40% of all residential development through intensification within built -up areas. Overall, the draft Hancock NDP, once developed, would exceed the minimum gross density of 50 persons and jobs combined per hectare. The Growth Plan targets would be satisfied. 11.5 Removal of Neighbourhood Centre Symbol The 1998 Hancock NDP included a neighbourhood commercial site at the northeast corner of Courtice Road and George Reynolds Drive. During the review of the NDP, the neighbourhood centre site was deleted from the current draft and an opportunity for a small convenience store use is permitted at that location. The neighbourhood centre site could accommodate retail and service commercial type, uses up to a maximum gross leasable floor area of 5,000 square metres. Since the preparation of the original NDP, the commercial policies of the Clarington Official Plan have been revised. A convenience store use is now permitted in any low density residential designation to a maximum gross leasable floor area to 250 square metres. The draft neighbourhood plan shows a convenience store at this location. 11.6 Pre - Serviced Lands The revised NDP takes into account the protection of natural features and makes appropriate new road connections which results in changes to the original lotting pattern. At the time of construction of George Reynolds Drive and Harry Gay Drive following the approval of the draft plan of subdivision 18T- 92014, lands were pre - serviced in anticipation of the creation of lots in the future. This means that water and sanitary services exist to the edge of the road allowance for the future lots along the east side of Harry Gay Drive (14 lots along the elementary school block frontage) and along the south side of George Reynolds Drive (13 lots between the neighbourhood park and Hancock Road). 8 -12 REPORT NO.: PSD- 054 -12 PAGE 13 Planning and Engineering staff have reviewed the draft Hancock NDP design to ensure that the road and lotting pattern is logical based on information available today. The proposed Hancock NDP will result in relocation or abandonment of service connections . that were installed to vacant lands, not lots, and the developer will responsible for 100% of the cost. 11.7 Special Study Area No. 7 (Hancock Neighbourhood) A tributary runs north -south through the neighbourhood just east of Courtice Road, and eventually drains to the stormwater management pond (southeast corner of Courtice and Nash Roads). The lands to the east of the tributary, and west of the new development on Harry Gay Drive is an isolated area that would be difficult and potentially cost- prohibitive to service and access. Special Study Area No. 7 (Attachment 7) provides some flexibility in how this area may develop. Subject to further study, it provides for the opportunity to realign the watercourse to the east to allow consolidation of the developable lands on the west side of the realigned water course. Niblett's report finds that there is potential for several environmental benefits, such as eliminating the need for crossing the tributary and opportunities for rehabilitation through additional plantings. The realignment would involve multiple property owners who would need to collaborate to complete the study at their expense. An Official Plan amendment would also be required in order to implement the findings of the report, remove the special study limits and to establish land uses. 11.8 Property Values & Compensation for Wetlands Property assessment is determined by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). In addition to recent sales, MPAC looks at the key features of every property. Although as many as 200 different factors are considered when assessing the value of a residential property, there are five major factors that account for 85% of the value: ® Age of the House; • Building Area; Location; 8 -13 Lot Dimensions; and Quality of Construction. Site features may also affect the value. Topography is a site feature that is assessed. One of the characteristics of topography is "low and wet" therefore individual properties may already be assessed based on this characteristic, regardless of whether or not lands are classified as PSW. At this time the only compensation program offered is the Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program (CLTIP) through the Ministry of Natural Resources. The CLTIP offers a reduction in property taxes to landowners who agree to protect the natural heritage feature(s) identified by MNR on their land. Activities that would degrade, destroy, or result in the loss of the natural values of the site are not allowed. Eligible lands include provincially significant wetlands and the current tax relief.offered is 100 % tax exemption on that eligible portion of the property. The CLTIP is offered annually to owners of land where PSWs have been identified. 11.9 Impact of Revisiting PSW Mappin. As shown on the Hancock Natural Heritage System map (Attachment 5), the PSWs form part of a broader Natural Heritage System, and is depicted as Open Space on the draft Hancock NDP and Environmental Protection Area in the draft Official Plan amendment. This Natural Heritage System is comprised of watercourses, valleylands, woodlands and other types of wetlands, in addition to PSWs. Generally, no development is to occur within the Environmental Protection Area, however, the mapping is open to some degree of interpretation. This is true of any designation within an Official Plan. Following the Public Information Centre held on October 10, 2012, Ministry of Natural Resources staff committed to revisiting properties on a site - specific basis where requested to confirm the limits of the PSWs. MNR staff expects that these site visits will occur sometime in June 2013. The PSW limits may increase or decrease in size, however, it is not expected that the PSWs will disappeared altogether. Any refinements may or may not cause changes to the broader, overall natural heritage system. Regardless of the limit of the PSWs in the Hancock Neighbourhood, any development application within 120 metres of the Natural Heritage System is required to complete an EIS. The EIS provides a specific development limit and is reflected in the development plan, whether it be a Clarington Official Plan Amendment, Draft Plan of Subdivision/ Condominium, Land Severance, Rezoning or Site Plan. At this time there are no specific proposals before the Municipality on properties where landowners are not satisfied with the limits of the PSWs. Depending on the outcome of MNR's site visits, and depending on the nature of the proposal, the proponents of development would have the ability to amend the Neighbourhood Design Plan, Official Plan and Zoning By -law on a site specific basis at any time in the future. Should Council 0 e I Ism desire, a policy can be instituted to provide a two (2) year grace period, where the Municipality of Clarington will waive the fee for an Official Plan Amendment and /or Neighbourhood Design Plan Amendment, if either is required as a result of a re- evaluation, by MNR, of a PSW identified through proposed OPA 80. The Hancock Natural Heritage System mapping is based on best information available. It is recommended to proceed with the amendment now given other ongoing or imminent development applications. 12. CONCURRENCE - Not Applicable 13. CONCLUSION 13.1 The purpose of this report is to satisfy the Public Meeting requirements under the Planning Act for the draft Official Plan Amendment. Staff respectfully request that this report be received and that staff continue to process the amendment relating to the Hancock Neighbourhood Design Plan including the preparation of a subsequent report.

Owner: West Diamond Properties Inc. and Players Business Park Ltd. (Metrus Properties Limited) Proposal: Amendment to Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision: To change the lot sizes in Phase 2 of a Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision resulting in an overall reduction of residential units from 190 units to 163. Zoning By -law Amendment: • To increase the lot coverage from 50% for the dwelling and 55% for all buildings and structures to a maximum of 55% for all buildings and structures including the dwelling; • To change the total number of units in specified blocks; • To remove the Holding Symbol to permit development of Phase 2. Site Area: 20.0 hectares (49.4 acres). Location: The lands subject to these applications are located on the west side of Green Road approximately 700 metres north of Durham Hwy. 2, being Part Lot 17, Concession 2 in the former Township of Darlington (see Attachment 1). 2.1 In November 2009, Council recommended to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), ,approval of Plan of Subdivision S -C 2004 -004, and corresponding rezoning. On December 9, 2009 the OMB approved the subdivision and rezoning for 423 residential units. 2.2 The draft approved plan is proceeding in two phases. Phase 1, consisting of 137 units was registered in December 2011 as 40M -2459. Phase 2 is approved for 190 units. The applicant is requesting a change in some of the lot sizes in Phase 2, reducing the number of units to 163 as illustrated in the following table. 8 °37 '•• 9 l PAGE 3 Unit Type Draft Approval 2009 for Phase 1 & 2 Amendment to Draft Approval. 2010 for Phases' 1 & 2 Phase 2 ' as Approved in 2009 Proposed changes to Phase 2 New Total for Entire Draft Plan 6.1 m Lane Townhouse 40 59 17 0 42 7.6m On- Street Townhouse 0 48 35 21 34 7.5m Single 27 0 0 0 0 6.6m Cap End Townhouse 54 0 0 0 0 9.8 Semi /Link 62 62 22 40 80 11.6m Single 94 94 47 65 112 12.8m Single 60 60 27 37 1 70 6.7m Lane Semi 86 96 42 0 1 54 TOTAL 423 419 190 163 1 392 2.3 Jeffery Homes and Brookfield Homes are the two builders in Phase 1. The builders have agreed to continue their building program in Phase 2, however due to the popularity of the single and linked dwelling units, the builders are requesting that some of the lots sizes be adjusted, primarily by removing the townhouse units on the rear lane surrounding the park and replacing them with 19.6 metre semi -link units and by increasing the number of single detached dwelling lots. The proposed changes are shown in Attachment 2. In addition, the builders are requesting an increase in lot coverage, to accommodate an enclosed breezeway connection between the garage and home on the lane -based homes. 3. SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING LAND USES 3.1 The majority of the subject lands have been prepared for development of Phase 2. The park is near completion. The site is relatively flat, gently sloping to the south. A hardwood forest is located to the west and north limits of the draft plan. A portion of the Maple Grove Provincially Significant Wetland abuts the north limit of the lands subject to this application. 3.2 Surrounding Uses North - Forested area and the Maple Grove Provincially Significant Wetland; South - Urban residential ( Phase1 — 40M 2459) East - Agricultural fields, Brookhill Tributary, one rural residential dwelling, sales office for Brookfield Homes and Jeffery Homes and Clarington Central Secondary School West - Lands associated with Rekker's Garden Centre, and the rear and side yards of rural residential properties NAWO 4.1 Provincial Policv Statement. 4.1.1 The applications were reviewed in the context of the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement. New development shall occur adjacent to built up areas and shall have compact form, a mix of uses and densities that allow for the efficient use of land, infrastructure and public services. Planning authorities are required to provide for a range of housing types and densities with a ten year supply of lands which are designated and a three year supply of zoned and serviced lands within draft approved and registered plans. New housing is to be directed to locations where infrastructure and public services are or will be available. A full range of housing types and densities shall be provided to meet projected requirements of current and future residents of the regional market area. Healthy active communities should be promoted by planning public streets and spaces that are safe and facilitate pedestrian and non - motorized movement. A full range of publicly accessible built and natural setting for recreation including facilities, parks, open space and trails should also be considered. Infrastructure and public service facilities shall be provided in a coordinated efficient and cost effective manner. Planning for these shall be integrated with planning for growth so that they are available to meet current and projected needs. The use of existing infrastructure and public service facilities should be optimized where feasible before considering developing new infrastructure and public service facilities. The proposed revision to the Draft Approved Plan and proposed Zoning By -law Amendment conform. 4.2. The Provincial Growth Plan 4.2.1 The Growth Plan provides a framework for accommodating growth in existing built up areas, through intensification and redevelopment, and within greenfield areas. The subject Draft Plan of Subdivision is within a greenfield area. New development in greenfield areas are to be complete communities with access to a mix of jobs, services, housing, school recreation and open space that is easily accessed through various modes of transportation. The greenfield area of each upper -tier municipality will be planned to achieve a minimum density target that is not less than 50 residents and jobs combined per hectare. Major growth is to be directed to areas serviced by existing or planned municipal infrastructure, such as water and sewer services. Natural heritage features that complement, link or enhance natural systems shall be identified and protected. The subject applications are consistent with the principles of the Growth Plan. AM V40913 _ 191MM 3 • - -• 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan PAG E 5 5. 1.1 In consideration of development applications in designated Living Areas, regard shall be had for the intent of this plan to achieve the following: • A compact urban form; • The use of good urban design principles; • A mix of appropriate uses; • Linkages for pedestrians and cyclists which link communities internally and externally and to public transit; • A grid pattern of arterial and collector roads where necessary to support transit supportive road pattern; • A Greenland system that complements and enhances the Urban System; and • The balance between energy efficiency and cost. The application conforms to Durham Regional Official Plan policies. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan 5.2.1 In the Clarington Official Plan, the lands are designated "Urban Residential" within the Brookhill Neighbourhood. A Secondary Plan was prepared for the Brookhill Neighbourhood. The draft Plan of Subdivision is consistent with the Principles and Community Structure contained in the Secondary Plan. The neighbourhood is edged by primary road network being Brookhill Boulevard and Green Road and housing is focused around the parkette with access by rear lanes. Low Density Residential housing shall be in the form of single and semi - detached units. Coach houses are permitted in restricted areas. Low density development shall be developed on the basis of 30 units per net hectare, consistent with the Official Plan policies. The revised application conforms to the Official Plan policies. 6. ZONING BY -LAW 6.1 Within Comprehensive Zoning By -law 84 -63, as amended, the lands are zoned "Holding - Urban Residential Exception ((H) R1 -79) ", "Holding - Urban Residential Exception ((H) R3 -37) ", "Holding - Urban Residential Exception ((H) R3 -38) ", "Holding - Urban Residential Exception ((H) R3 -39) ". A Zoning By -law Amendment will be required in order to implement the amendment to draft plan approval. M REPORT NO.: PSD- 055 -12 PAGE 6 7. PUBLIC NOTICE MEETING AND SUBMISSIONS 7.1 The Public Notice was given by mail to landowners within 120 metres of the subject site and a Public Notice sign was placed on Green Road in accordance with the Planning Act. 7.2 As of writing this report, Staff has not received any inquiries. WK461 1711 ►i LW 8.1 The applications for rezoning and amendment to Draft Plan Approval are relatively minor. The circulation to outside agencies was limited to the Region of Durham only. 8.2 The Region of Durham Planning Department has indicated that the site is within the Brookhill Secondary Plan which is a designated Greenfield area. Area municipalities shall endeavour to develop its Greenfield areas in keeping with the Region's greenfields density target of 50 residents and jobs per.hectare as measured over the entire Region. Phase 2 of this development is adjacent to Green Road and is also in proximity to Highway 2. Both roads are designated as Type "B" Arterials Roads within the Durham Regional Official Plan. Highway 2 is also a "Transit Spine ". It is the Regional policy that higher density developments are located along arterial roads, to help support transit services. The revised draft plan proposes an overall decrease of 27 dwelling units. The Region does not object to the revised draft plan, however the Municipality should ensure the loss of units is compensated elsewhere in the Secondary Plan area. The Region is requesting that the Environmental Noise Report of February 2010, be updated to reflect the change in unit counts for Phase 2 development. With respect to servicing the Region advises that the applicants will be required to enter into a regional subdivision agreement for Phase 2. 11 =1 '_G 9 Il k 9.1 The Clarington Emergency & Fire Services offers no objection provided that the rear laneways comply with all previous indicated concerns i.e.: width, parking, snow storage turning radius, hydrant locations. 9.2 The Clarington Engineering Services Department had requested additional information from the applicant's engineer which has not been received. The consultant has confirmed that the impervious areas will not be increased as a result of the proposed changes. 8 -41 we. • PAGE 7 However, the on -site parking may be insufficient. This is a concern particularly for units around the park which have no on- street parking. Further discussion with the applicant will be required. 10. DISCUSSION 10.1 The amendment to the Draft Approved Plan changes some of the lots throughout the second phase of this development. The net result is a reduction of 27 residential units. The majority of the changes take place around the park. Three (3) townhouse blocks, one block containing five (5) units and the other two (2) containing six (6) units are removed, as well as the common wall semi - detached units in favour of 19.6 metre linked dwellings. In addition, the applicant, on behalf of the builders is requesting a change to the lot coverage requirements from 50% for the dwelling and 55% for all building and structures, to 55% for all buildings /structures. This would permit a two car garage in the rear lane which would be attached to the dwelling by an enclosed breezeway. 10.2 Engineering Services has identified some concerns with on -site parking for the units around the park. Further discussions are taking place to address the on- street parking issued identified in Section 9.2. It should be noted that the park is not programmed with sports fields. 10.3 With the adjustments to the lotting pattern, the draft plan still provides for a mix of lot sizes to permit various housing forms. Single detached, linked dwelling units, common wall semi - detached units and townhouses are inter - dispersed throughout the draft plan, as required in the Secondary Plan. 11. CONCURRENCE — Not Applicable 12. CONCLUSION 12.1 The purpose of this report is to satisfy the Public Meeting requirements under the Planning Act and taking into consideration the outstanding comments. Staff respectfully request that this report be received and for staff to continue processing the application including the preparation of a subsequent report.

The FIT (feed -in tariff) and microFIT programs were created under this legislation, and are meant to support small and large scale clean energy generation projects which will feed such energy back into the Ontario electrical grid, with the electricity generated paid for by the Ontario Power Authority (OPA). Through these programs, OPA enters into contracts with property owners and businesses to purchase the energy produced. 1.2 Staff report PSD- 040 -12, considered by Committee in September advised how the FIT program was revised earlier this year with the new rules coming into force August 10, 2012. FIT applications are now reviewed based on a point system. A Council resolution supporting a proposed FIT application has greater chance of being accepted by the OPA. A new application under the revised FIT program has recently been received seeking a Council resolution in support of the proposal. 2. APPLICATION 2.1 Saturn Solar 2.1.1 Proposal Saturn Solar LP I has requested Council support for a rooftop solar project at 3520 Highway 35/115, Newcastle. This property is currently being farmed and has had apple trees planted within the last two years. The rooftop solar panels are proposed to cover the entire roof of the existing building used for apple storage, as well as a proposed addition to this building. The project would have a nameplate capacity of 150kW of electricity generated by 584- 250 Watt modules, tilted 20 degrees. 2.1.2 Comments The property owned by 1596451 Ontario Ltd. is on the west side of Highway 115/35 south of Concession Road 4. The property is zoned "Agricultural Exception (A -1)" and is being used as an apple farm. The property has an existing building which is proposed to be used for the roof mounted solar panels, as well as a proposed addition which will also be used for the roof mounted solar panels. The following chart reviews the project against the checklist identified in report PSD- 040 -12 which provided the background on changes to the FIT and microFIT programs. 8 -47 ON ► • 11 PAGE 3 Topic Description Strategic Plan Conformity The proposed project complies with the Strategic Plan's objective of "Promoting green initiatives" and "Promoting economic development". Community Benefit Although no specific community benefit was identified as part of the application, the revenue from the rooftop solar units will assist in ensuring the existing agricultural operation remains viable. Financial Burden on None identified. Clarington Community Consultation Given the location and size of this project community consultation is not warranted. Property Use Risk Project is being proposed on an existing farm building, Mitigation as well as a proposed addition to this building. The , owner of the property has recently obtained approval from the Committee of Adjustment (A2012 -0063) to permit the construction of this addition to the existing building by reducing the minimum required northerly interior side yard setback from 15 metres to 3 metres. OP Policies This application is consistent with Official Plan olicies. Zoning Regulations This application is consistent with Zoning By -law regulations. 3. CONCURRENCE — Not Applicable 4.

BACKGROUND On March 26, 2012, Council adopted the following Resolution #GPA- 115 -12: THAT Report CLD - 009 -12 be received; THAT the Animal Services' service levels remain status quo; THAT the issue of After Hours Emergency Animal Services be referred to the 2013 Budget for consideration; and THAT staff report back on expanding the level of volunteerism at the Animal Shelter. PAGE 2 The Clarington Animal Shelter has relied fully on municipal staff since it opened in 1990 at which time we had one full -time staff person, serving a population of 50,000. Since 1990 we have grown to four full -time officers, one part -time officer, and a part -time clerk serving a community of 90,000. The duties performed by the Animal Services Staff generally fall into the following areas: Kennel technician Animal intake Medication administration Routine medical treatment Feeding Animal transfers to /from veterinarian clinics Animal transfers to /from pet stores Essential socialization of animals Essential exercising of animals Essential grooming Shelter attendant Cleaning cages and runs Mopping floors Dish washing Laundry Basic care and keeping of interior of shelter Food orders, pick-up, stock Adoptions Application review /approval Applicant assessment including interviews and reference checks Animal romotion General Phone and counter reception Retrieve road kill Enforcement Public education Investigations Routine patrols Laying of charges Testifying in court 13 -2 REPORT NO.: CLD- 034 -12 2. RESEARCH FINDINGS PAGE 3 2.1 Staff contacted several area municipalities and humane societies to gather information regarding their volunteer programs, including: City of Oshawa, Town of Whitby, City of Pickering, Shelter of Hope, Town of Georgina, City of Toronto, Durham Region Humane Society and the Kitchener / Waterloo Humane Society. 2.2 The Town of Whitby (PAW) and City of Oshawa do not currently accept volunteers. The City of Oshawa, however, has developed a program and is in the recruiting stage. All other shelters contacted provide volunteer opportunities of some sort. 2.3 The humane societies are charitable organizations and rely entirely on donations to operate their facilities. Therefore, their volunteer programs tend to be very sophisticated and the duties assigned to their volunteers include duties also performed regularly by their staff (ie. cleaning cages, grooming, walking, feeding). The volunteer programs run through municipal facilities vary in sophistication but in almost all cases, the duties of the volunteers are limited to cuddling cats and walking dogs, and assisting at promotional events. While staff perform their "regular duties" similar to those detailed above in section 1.0 and deemed to be providing the necessities of life for the animals, the volunteer work is viewed as supplemental. 2.4 Feedback from all organizations who provide volunteer opportunities indicates that to operate a volunteer program requires significant staff time to develop, implement, and maintain. Volunteer duties need to be clearly defined and communicated to the volunteers. The volunteers need to be trained and closely supervised. There appears to be no consistency as to whether or not volunteers are scheduled for shifts or are accepted on a "drop -in" basis. Further, they reported that they tend to have some very committed volunteers and others who tend to be less reliable, and there is a frequent turnover of volunteers. As such, to ensure sufficient hands on deck to perform all of the necessary duties and to maintain a healthy environment, all organizations confirmed that the volunteers are supplemental to their staff compliment. In every case, the program is either managed by the on -site shelter manager /supervisor or a designated staff whose primary responsibility is running the volunteer program. 3. COMMENTS 3.1 Volunteer Availability The Clarington Animal Shelter regularly receives enquiries from residents looking to volunteer at the Shelter. Most recently, the number of enquiries increased in response to a newspaper article which was misunderstood by the readership as suggesting that the Shelter was in jeopardy of closing due to lack of staff and funding. Since the opening of the Shelter, we have not accepted volunteers at our Shelter environment due 13 -3 REPORT NO.: CLD- 034 -12 PAGE 4 to liability concerns. That said, however, over the past 10 years we have regularly accepted high school co -op students through the School Board sanctioned program. 3.2 Risks and Accountability With any volunteer program there are inherent risks, and to involve animals for whom there is little to no known history adds to those risks. Our staff who regularly work with the animals are required to hold a diploma in Animal Care or Health Technician from a community college or Canada Association for Laboratory Animal Certification which includes training regarding animal behaviour, health and handling. Additionally, our staff has been formally trained in the areas of customer service including standards under the AODA, workplace harassment, safe work practices and workplace hazardous materials (WHMIS). The mandatory training and skills requirements for our staff, along with standard operating procedures and protocols, are in place to provide a safe and healthy workplace for staff, the animals, and our shelter visitors while minimizing risk to the staff, animals and the municipality. Failure to follow the standard operating procedures and practices can result in: • Bite /scratch or other physical injury • Unsafe chemical exposure to person or animal • Compromised reputation within the community • Compromised health of the environment (eg. Ringworm, upper respiratory, etc.) which could lead to outbreaks • Exposure to litigation (eg. inaccurate record keeping, euthanizing the wrong animal; causing harm or injury to an owned animal, adopting an owned animal, inappropriate feeding, failure to provide medical attention, etc.) • Motor vehicle accident • Exposure to being hit by a vehicle when working on or near a highway All shelters contacted reported that prior to accepting them into the program, their volunteers are advised of the possibility of injury (primarily bites /scratches), are required to sign a liability waiver, and are trained on their duties in an effort to reduce liability. That said, most organizations are humane societies which are charitable organizations. Municipalities, on the other hand, are sometimes viewed as "having deep pockets" and thus a volunteer program which inherently exposes members of the public (ie volunteers) to known risks, must be carefully considered and planned to include measures to mitigate those risks. Staff are ultimately accountable to the Municipality for their actions while at work, and failure to follow corporate policies and standard operation procedures and protocols can lead to disciplinary actions. Volunteers vary in skills, interest, background, personal motivators, and work ethic. Typically they would not necessarily work in the animal field and therefore it is reasonable to assume that most volunteers would lack the skills, knowledge and experience necessary to meet our safe work standards when working with the animals. 13 -4 REPORT NO.: CLD- 034 -12 PAGE 5 Additionally, volunteers give freely of their time and while well intended, other conflicting priorities can easily take precedence. 3.3 Benefits Every shelter offering volunteer opportunities reported positively of the benefits of their volunteer program. As well, research of volunteer programs of shelters throughout North America (most prevalent in the Humane Societies) indicates benefits to the shelter operations, the animals, the volunteers and the community as a whole. As stated earlier in this report, Animal Services Officers' duties extend beyond providing the basic necessities of caring for the animals in the shelter. Allowing volunteers to augment the Officers' duties, such as walking dogs and socializing with cats, can reduce staff stress. The greater number of people interacting with the animals expands our communication network and contact list of promoting responsible pet ownership. The efforts of volunteers can increase and expedite the opportunities for adoption. Additional socialization helps prepare the animals for a new home as they may appear happier and healthier. Increased opportunities to find animals a new home benefit the animals while reducing sheltering costs. There is a genuine interest for many residents to spend their spare time helping animals in need, and they simply want to be part of the solution to the number of homeless animals. Volunteering at a shelter provides an opportunity for members of our community to meet new people, build confidence, and improve their mood and health, while doing something they enjoy through valued efforts. Animal Shelter volunteers are reported to be enthusiastic and brimming with energy and compassion which can only positively impact the animals. Positive energy can be infectious and can result in enhancing our image within the community. 3.4 Challenges The benefits of offering a volunteer program are not typically realized without challenges. As in any business, difficult decisions must be made. In a shelter environment, on occasion an animal may have to be euthanized for behaviour or health reasons. Feedback from research indicates that volunteers often have difficulty accepting these decisions which has resulted in "bad press ", thus jeopardizing the public confidence in the shelter programs and its image. The duties detailed in Section 1.0 of this Report are performed by the Animal Services Officers through employment obligations agreed to by the Municipality and CUPE Local 74 as outlined in the Collective Agreement. Any actions undertaken by a volunteer cannot compromise the collective agreement. Research indicates that successful volunteer programs in a municipal environment provide for a program whereby volunteer roles are clearly defined and communicated and whereby the volunteer 13 -5 REPORT NO.: CLD- 034 -12 PAGE 6 activities are closely monitored and managed. The volunteer roles are typically limited to dog walking, cat cuddling and brushing, and assistance with and participation in adoption events, including PetSmart adoptions. 3.5 Opportunities at the Clarington Shelter Prior to writing this Report, the opportunity for implementing a volunteer program at the Clarington Animal Shelter had not been investigated. Based on research findings, there may be an opportunity to develop a program for Clarington. Prior to implementing a program however, there is a significant amount of work to be undertaken, including: • Establishing program goals and objectives • Developing program policies and procedures including defined volunteer roles • Developing a training program and supporting documentation • Preparing public communications • Preparing liability release and waiver • Investigating and addressing WSIB liability implications • Achieving concurrence with Local 74 As Council is well aware, the Clarington Animal Shelter has recently struggled to maintain their service level standards. While the benefits of a volunteer program could reasonably be realized through a similar volunteer program at our shelter, and while the preparation work detailed above is not difficult, it is quite time consuming and the staff resources to develop and manage the program simply are not yet in place. At this time, it is recommended that staff continue to work towards developing a program, and report back on a recommended volunteer program. 4. CONCURRENCE This report has been reviewed by Nancy Taylor, Director of Finance/Treasurer, and Andy Allison, Municipal Solicitor who concur with the recommendations. 5. CONCLUSION Research findings clearly indicate that volunteer programs at an animal shelter, whether it be a Humane Society or a municipally operated facility is a win - win -win situation. A successful program would be defined as a program which is meeting its goals and objectives while not compromising any employment obligations and which minimizes risks to the animals, staff, volunteers and the public confidence in the shelter. The success of a volunteer program appears to rely on four main elements: • a carefully defined program that suits the needs of the shelter which includes defined rules, procedures, and training • a staff person dedicated to managing the program to ensure that the goals are being met • staff support of the program • enthusiastic, compassionate, dedicated volunteers 13 -6 REPORT NO.: CLD- 034 -12 PAGE 7 The success of volunteer programs in many, many other shelters support the notion that Clarington could also offer a volunteer program. The carrying out of such a program though relies very much on being well- managed. Given the current resource constraints, staff are recommending that staff be directed to continue to work towards developing a program, and report back at such time when the necessary resources are in place to implement and manage the program.

BACKGROUND F9_,TeJW At the Council meeting held on November 19, 2012, the following resolution was passed: "THAT the matter of dredging of that portion of Bowmanville Creek, north of the spit on the west side of the channel, and Graham Creek be referred to the 2013 Budget for consideration; and THAT Staff provide a report, regarding installation of a central parking meter that would accept both cash and credit card, to the General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting of December 10, 2012 with consideration to installing a barrier gate lift system at both the Port Darlington and Newcastle harbours." 2. HISTORY The issue of parking at the boat launches has been discussed by Council on numerous occasions, as follows: ➢ June 2004 - Through the adoption of the recommendations contained in Report OPD- 003 -04 (Attachment No. 1 attached hereto), a used central meter was purchased and installed in the parking area at the Bowmanville Boat Launch. ➢ March 2010 — The matter of recovering operation costs for the maintenance of the boat launches through the use of barriers and pay /display parking meters was addressed through Section 3.4 of Report PSD- 042 -10 (Attachment No. 2 attached hereto). In consideration of this matter, Council requested the Chief Administrative Officer to prepare a report on the further opportunities and logistics regarding the cost recovery of dredging, installation of a gate and activation of the parking meter at the Bowmanville boat launch. ➢ May 2010 —The Chief Administrative Officer presented Report CAO- 004 -10 which provided a cost analysis of dredging, equipment costs, enforcement costs and liability costs (Attachment No. 3 attached hereto). This report was referred to the 2011 budget process. At this time, the used meter that was purchased in 2004 was no longer able to be repaired as the equipment was obsolete. ➢ February 2011 — Report FND- 003 -11 addressed parking meters at the Bowmanville and Newcastle Boat Launches, identifying $30,000 for the purchase of two new units. This would have provided for one unit to be installed at the Newcastle Boat Launch and one to be installed in the Division Street parking lot, with the existing Division Street unit being transferred to the Bowmanville Boat Launch. This item was deleted from the budget during the special General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting of February 25, 2011 (Attachment No. 4 attached hereto). 13 -9 aii ' e Central meters which accept both cash and credit card payments can be installed at each of the boat launches for a cost of $30,000. The difficulty that arises with the installation of the meters is that both of these sites are utilized by multiple users. Bowmansville's facilities are shared by persons using the Waterfront Trail, the Off- Leash Park and the Boat Launch. At Newcastle, the parking lot is used by boaters, people wishing to fish off the pier and those relaxing and using the pagoda structure on site. The Municipality does not charge for parking at any of its other parks /facilities, so it will have to be determined whether all users are to pay for parking, or only those who are using the boat launch. Should it be Council's decision to only charge those using the boat launch, the meter would be well signed to indicate this and the enforcement staff would only be ticketing those vehicles with trailers that have no parking stub displayed on the vehicle's dash. During the winter months when there is very little, if any, use of the boat launch, the meter can be shut down and reactivated in the spring, thus saving on power. 4. INSTALLATION OF GATE LIFT SYSTEM A gate lift system similar to those used in many parking facilities could be installed at each of the boat launches. With this system installed, a driver will back up to the gate, pay the required fee, the gate arm will lift and the driver will back down the ramp and launch the boat. The magnetic "pad" must be long enough to keep the arm raised until the driver has launched the boat and pulled back up and out the ramp. At this time the gate arm will lower and it is ready for the next user. To retrieve the boat from the water the owner must repeat the entire process, including paying a second time. Because the Bowmanville ramp is approximately 10 metres wide (too great a distance to span with only one gate arm), it will be necessary to install two units at this site, with one slaved to the other. The cost of the units at the two boat launches would be approximately $17,000. In addition to this cost, there is a cost of $60 per month for the software required to operate the lifts. Also, the installation of the pay meters will be necessary, at the cost of $30,000, and the issue of a power source and telephone line connection would need to be addressed. It is anticipated that the cost of installation for the gate lift systems at the two boat launches would be approximately $60,000. In speaking with the manufacturers of this equipment, it was determined that no other municipality has attempted to install a gate lift system for a boat launch area. Due to the amount of time that is required for the gate arm to remain in the upward position, the manufacturer will not guarantee that the equipment will work for this application. 13 -10 . • . 2 0 Loin" awmE .. Staff have contacted other municipalities with boat launches to determine how they operate, and have found the following: Whitby Whitby Marina charges a fee for use of the launch. Municipal staff is on site to collect the fees and run other operations around the Marina. In the winter the site is closed and gated. Scugog An on -site person collects fees for the launch. Port Hope Harbour Master collects the fees. Cobourg Marina staff charge for use of the launch ramp. Barrie Two launch ramps - Marina launch is overseen by staff and charges are collected for use of the ramp but not parking; their second ramp is completely free. Belleville Operates launches from three marinas. Staff collects fees for the launch; there is a central parking meter for the vehicles. 6. CONCURRENCE — Not Applicable 7.

Fr e s Horvath De#trtment Head Signature tti ie al Cler -s- Ga Franklin Wu Chief Administrative Officer REPORT NO.OPD- 003 -04 BACKGROUND: PAGE 2 Council authorized Report ADM- 005 -04 for staff to demolish the pump house structure and the Harbourmaster House and to conduct a general cleanup of the Municipal properties on the eastside of Bowmanville Creek. Staff has commenced a general cleanup of the beach area and will continue to maintain until the former pump house structure is demolished. HARBOURMASTER HOUSE: Staff has been requested to outline the condition survey of the building components and services. The Harbourmaster House is located at 150 Port Darlington Road, Bowmanville on a one acre lot located on the Westside of Port Darlington Road. The total floor area of the house is 2,320 square feet. The Harbourmaster House is in good to fair condition for a dwelling of its vintage. The following remedial work would have to be undertaken to correct existing field conditions if we were to find suitable tenants: ■ Repair wood window sills • Clean and caulk all exterior openings • Exterior painting ■ Re -point chimney ■ Re -roof garage and residential roofs including gutters and downspouts ■ Replace oil fired furnace The estimated cost of repairs is $25,000 to $35,000. The Harbourmaster House has been vacant since summer 2003 and there are no potential tenants at this time. ' EAST BEACH PUMPING STATION: The .Municipality entered into a three part agreement with Ontario Power Generation and the Region of Durham for the installation of an inline monitoring system. Notification has been given and the deadline for removal of the monitoring system is November 26, REPORT NO.OPD- 003 -04 PAGE 3 2004. At that time, the building will be demolished and general cleanup to the beach area will be made. BOWMANVILLE BOAT LAUNCH: The existing boat launch is heavily utilized by residents and visitors of Clarington. There are three buildings on the site which have been extensively vandalized over the past year. Two buildings are outdoor washrooms which will be removed and replaced with one portable toilet. The other building is the fish cleaning station which has not been used for some time. It is recommended that if the building cannot be restored as part of the proposed park development, it would be demolished as well. Development of this park is scheduled for 2005 and further information can be obtained from the Engineering Department. BOAT LAUNCHES: Clarington has two boat launches which are available at no charge to the residents and visitors at Bondhead Parkette and the Bowmanville Boat Launch. When the Bowmanville Launch was transferred into Municipal ownership, it was suggested at that time to establish a daily fee for the use of the boat ramp. Staff has reviewed several options including a central parking meter and an automated gate arm. The cost for a used central parking meter is estimated between $3,000.00 to $5,000.00 and approximately $1,000.00 for installation and wiring. The cost for an armed gate system is between $4,500.00 to $7,000.00 and approximately $1,000.00 for electrical. One of the disadvantages for the armed gate system is the constant replacement of the wooden arm which is estimated at $1,800.00. Staff is recommending that they continue to investigate the purchase of a used gate system and central meter for the Bowmanville Boat Launch area for implementation in the 2004 season and that the purchase of a system for Bondhead Parkette be recommended in the 2005 Capital Budget. The Boat Launch will continue to be available at no charge to the residents of Clarington. It is recommended that a fee of $5.00 daily be charged for non - residents for the use of the REPORT NO.

This report provides an overview of the responsibility for channel dredging and associated costs and the municipal operation of the boat launches at Bowmanville Creek north of Port Darlington (Attachment 1) and Bondhead on the west side of Graham Creek (Attachment 2). Mr. Kreasul's letter is Attachment 3. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Bowmanville Creek/Port Darlington The Port Darlington Marina was initiated and developed by the Gil family in the mid 1970's. At the time the commercial fishing fleet that had existed at the mouth of Bowmanville Creek on the east side of the channel owned by Port Darlington Harbour Company had diminished and transitioned to the sport fishing that continues to exist . today. Concurrently there was also a move, by many, to pleasure boating. The Gil family obtained permission to dredge a marina and build the motel /restaurant complex and condominums Which continue to exist today; now owned by Port Darlington Marina- Hotel. The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority purchased approximately 57 acres of land in 1975 and another 11 acres in 1977 and 1978. This initiated the development of the Bowmanville Harbour Conservation Area. Initially it was to protect the significant Bowmanville Marsh, and to provide area residents with access to fishing opportunities in the form of a boat launch, fish cleaning station and parking facility just north of Bobby C's and Port Darlington Marina. As part of the work that led up to Clarington's first Official Plan, the Clarington Waterfront Study (1991) was prepared along with the Port Darlington Plan Area: Background Study (1992). These documents are the basis for the policies in the Official Plan.and Port Darlington Neighbourhood Secondary Plan that were adopted in 1996. By the late 1990's there had been an evaluation of the mandate of the Conservation Authority with regard to the provision of recreational amenities. The recreational mandate had in large part been eliminated in favour of a greater natural heritage focus. The boat launch area was leased to the Municipality in 2000 on a 20 year lease. Part of the reason for this shift in responsibility was the. Municipality's ability to garner funds under the Millennium grant process for the development of the Waterfront Regeneration Trail. In addition, the Municipality had been instrumental in the formation of the Valleys 2000 group, which encompassed the urban portions of the Bowmanville and Soper REPORT NO.: PSD- 042 -10 PAGE 3 Creeks with a focus on the restoration and enhancement of the creek valleys for the residents of Bowmanville, After the Municipality leased the boat launch, improvements were made in subsequent years through the grading and drainage of the parking area, construction of the Waterfront Regeneration Trail and removal of the fish cleaning station. The area adjacent to the boat launch accommodates approximately 30 vehicles and trailers; however, it is also encumbered with hydro towers and mostly successional vegetation of low ecological importance. Council recently approved an exchange with CLOCA, which will see the Municipality become the owners of the boat launch area. 2.2.. Bondhead /Graham Creek The boat launch on the west side of Graham Creek was constructed in 1991 as a response to the Recreation /Leisure Services Masterplan recommendations. The Recreation /Leisure Services Masterplan was undertaken in 1990 to determine the gaps in leisure services being provided by`the. Municipality. One of the major areas of demand from the surveys and public consultation was the lack of public access to the waterfront and lake. The development of the Bondhead Parkette was seen as a way to address this issue. In 2000 as part of the drafting of the Land Acquisition Strategy the lack of space for parking at the Bondhead Parkette /Boat Launch. was noted as a concern and three residential properties adjacent to the parkette where identified as future acquisitions. These properties were acquired between 2000 and 2005 and the lands have been added to the parkette as green space. To date, the parking has not been enlarged. 2.3 Boat Launch Economic Spin -offs 2.3.1 The demand for boat launching ramps, mainly required to serve anglers, is projected to grow at a rate similar to that of the future household growth in Durham. Typically launching ramps.are provided by marina operators and very few free launching ramps exist. 2.3.2 There is no precise data available on the numbers of persons who use the boat launch or the economic spin -off from this activity. Casual observation by maintenance staff indicates that both facilities are well used and attract anglers from outside the Durham area and province. 2.3.3 The Town of Whitby, which has a boat launch as part of their marina operation indicate there are over 1,000 launches per year. This number does not include boaters that purchase seasonal passes. 2.3.4 The economic spin -off from the tour and charter operators, boaters and casual fishermen is unknown. However; it is known that the impact can be significant. Attachment 4 is a calculator used in the tourism industry based on the known impact from boat launches. Calculations of 500, 1,000 and 1,500 launches demonstrate the spin -off benefits. REPORT NO.: PSD- 042 -10 2.4 Channel Ownership and Jurisdiction PAGE 4 2.4.1 The Bowmanville /Soper Creek from West Beach Road south to the southern tip of the condominiums is owned by CLOCA. From the condominiums south to the lakefront the channel is owned by the Port Darlington Harbour Company. The piers on either side of the mouth of the channel are owned by the federal government. 2.4.2 The Bondhead Parkette and municipal boat launch are owned by the Municipality, as are the breakwater structures. The Municipality took over the breakwater structures in 1999. The channel ownership could not be determined from the MPAC property fabric, a land title search at the Land Titles office would be necessary to determine ownership. 2.4.3 The provincial government has jurisdiction over the bed of streams. Approval for any works requires licenses and /or permits from the applicable conservation authority and Ministry of Natural Resources. In addition, permits are required from the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans; these include restrictions on the time of year that any in -water works are carried out to protect the fishery resource. 2.5 Channel Dredging 2.5.1 The dredging of the basin areas of the different marinas are the responsibility of the owner /operator of the marina. At one time, funding was available from Small Craft Harbour's for the maintenance and development of recreational boating harbours; however, the mandate of Small Craft Harbour's has shifted and is now focused on providing commercial fish harvesters and other harbour users with safe and accessible facilities. The mandate of Small Craft Harbour's is to keep the harbours that are critical to the fishing industry open and in good repair. The Bowmanville and Newcastle. harbours are recreational harbours and do not meet the criteria set out by Small Craft Harbour's, there is no funding that they are eligible for from higher levels of government for ongoing maintenance and operation. 2.5.2 The channels in the area of the boat launches have become silted up over time. Typically when silt builds up it gets blown out in a major storm event, such as Hurricane Hazel. Many of the stormwater management and floodproofing measures that have been implemented by the Municipality in concert with the conservation authority have a modifying effect as they are designed to retain the water upstream in an appropriate facility and allow for drain down after the event. This assists in avoiding flooding throughout the lower reaches of the streams. 2.5.3 All the marina's and ports along the Lake Ontario waterfront have experience with dredging. Typically they carry out a major dredge every 10 -15 years with spot dredges in between to maintain depths in specific areas. Clarington's municipal boat launches and their associated channels have not been dredged since they were built. 2.5.4 The major cost to dredge is often the disposal of the sediment. In the best case, the dredgate can be used for beach nourishment further along the shoreline. This can occur if soil testing confirms no contaminates in the sediment and the approval agencies allow for disposal of the dredgate in this manner. In these best case scenarios the 13 -20 REPORT NO.: PSD- 042 -10 PAGE 5 dredging is carried out on a cost per cubic metre with the slit being sucked up and pumped through piping to its disposal site. If the dredgate is.to be hauled away, there are trucking costs, plus the preparation and rehabilitation of the soil waste site. The Town of Cobourg has acquired dredging equipment and are willing to provide the service for $10.00/cubic metre if all other aspects are taken-care of (e.g. dredging permits, soil testing, soil waste area). If haul away of the dredgate is included the price increases to between $25 to $30 per cubic metre depending on the length of haul, cost of the disposal, remediation of the site, etc. 2.5.5 Typically local marina operators ( Cobourg, Port Hope, Newcastle, Bowmanville, and Whitby) spend between $20,000 to $40,000 /annually to maintain their basin areas. Some years the costs are less; other years are higher depending on the amount of dredging required and where they are in the cycle after a major dredge. 2.5.6 The estimated cost to dredge the channel in Bowmanville Creek from the boat launch to the southern tip of the condominiums would be approximately $40,000 if the dredgate could be used for beach nourishment on the East Beach. 2.5.7 The estimated cost to dredge the channel in Graham Creek from the boat launch to the lake would be approximately $5,000 if the dredgate could be used for beach nourishment on the Bondhead parkette. 3.0 COMMENTS 3.1 The Municipality does not have a legal responsibility to dredge the channels in the vicinity of the boat launches. 3.2 CLOCA and Port Darlington Harbour Company are the owners of the channel in Bowmanville. 3.3 Ownership of the channel in Newcastle would have to be determined through a land titles search, it has been confirmed that it is not owned by Port of Newcastle Marina. 3.4 The Municipality could recover operation costs for the maintenance of the boat launches through the use of barriers and pay /display machines which would require payment for the parking of vehicles /trailers. Separate parking areas accessible to the general public not wishing to use the launch could be provided to allow access at both launches for' non - boaters. 3.5 The Municipality benefits from the tourism that the boat launches support; however, there is no specific information available on the economic benefit. 13 -21 REPORT NO.: PSD- 042 -10 PAGE 6 4.0 CONCLUSIONS 4.1 Should__ Council wish to support the economic benefits that the boat launches help promote, specific direction to the appropriate staff will be required.

We have a situation at the harbour that needs to be fixed rather urgently — there is not enough depth in the channel to the lake from September onward to float even a dingy equipped with an outboard motor. ALL users are affected by this, as it is unsafe. to plough through the mud to get to the lake, We even -see geese standing in what was, in the spring, a part of the channel! During the summer season, unless you have local knowledge of exactly where the channel is, you MUU- run aground. Our harbour is such a picturesque destination for transient boaters, and the first thing we offer them is — the certainty of running aground.:........ There is a great deal .of tourist income derived from, the harbour, what with the over 50 Salmon .Charter boats, and marine tourists travelling along the North Shore; as well.as American boaters coming across. I understand that the municipality is required to keep the channel navigable from the boat launch , ramp to the lake. This is NOT the case .currently, all you need to do is ask any boater Who uses our harbour. We would be happy to discuss the situation with-you any time, at your convenience. I have included some maps /photos to clarify the channel into Port Darlington. I will contact you on Monday as a follow up to this letter — thanks for your attention. Robert G.

THAT Report CAO- 004 -10 be received for information. Submitted by: �) {—tc. L_CO_.�., Franklin Wu Chief Administrative Officer CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T (905)623 -3379 F (905)623 -0720 13 -28 REPORT NO.: CAO- 004 -10 1. BACKGROUND: PAGE 2 1.1 At its meeting, held on April 26, 2010, Council approved the following recommendation from the GPA Committee as follows: "THAT Report PSD -042 -10 be received; THAT the CAO be requested to prepare a report, within 4 weeks, on the further opportunities and logistics regarding the cost recovery of dredging, installation of a gate and activation of the parking meter at the municipal boat launch in Bowmanville." 1.2 The purpose of this report is therefore to provide the information sought by Council. Since the issue of dredging is very much tied to the activities of the boat launch and the parking lot, staff took the liberty to expand the scope of this report so that a complete financial picture is available for Council deliberation. 13 Significant amounts of information respecting dredging was provided via Report PSD- 042 -10. This information will not be reproduced here but staff would urge Council members to revisit this information prior to their consideration of this report. 2. THE NEED FOR DREDGING 2.1 The Municipality has never been involved in any dredging activity of the Bowmanville Creek. It inherited the Conservation Area with the boat launch as a result of along term lease with the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority in 2000. To the best of our knowledge, CLOCA did not dredge prior to that. 2.2 . The boat launch is used by both local and out -of -town residents primarily for launching their small water crafts; mostly power boats. The Municipality has no record of any historical data on the depth of the creek adjacent to the boat launch. It is also noted that the Municipality has not received any complaints from past users regarding any siltation issue adjacent to the boat launch nor any difficulty in launching their boats due to insufficient water depth. However, our recent inspection reveals that the water depth. at the end of the wooden pier is about ten (10) inches, whereas the usual depth at the same location is about two to three feet. We believe the shallow water depth is REPORT NO.: CAO- 004 -10 PAGE 3 caused by both siltation and unusual low water level of the creek. If the water level remains low, users may have difficulty launching their boat at this location. 2.3 Creek dredging would be a new service which is neither contemplated in the Municipality's Strategic Business Plan nor included in the annual budget, notwithstanding it may or may not be able to recover the cost of dredging through charging a fee of the users of the boat launch. 3. COST ANALYSIS There are direct costs related to dredging and several in- direct and related costs in connection with dredging. Breakdown of these costs are as follows. 3.1 Direct Dredging Cost . a) The Municipality was never involved in any-dredging activity of the Bowmanville Creek and therefore has neither past experience nor cost information to rely on. In the absence of detailed information that would be obtained from a tender process, we rely on information recently obtained from marinas in neighboring municipalities. Typically marina operators would spend between $20,000 to $40,000 annually to maintain the depth of their respective channels. This amount could be higher for Bowmanville Creek due to the substantial length of the channel, as well as the uncertainty of not knowing if the dredged materials can be deposited nearby. b) It has been suggested that the dredging cost can be shared with the marina operators. The aforementioned cost to the Municipality will be reduced but the amount of municipal contribution remains unknown until further information can be obtained through negotiation and tender. It is not advisable to enter into any cost sharing arrangement without actually knowing the specifications and firm pricing of the works. 13 -30 REPORT NO.: CAO -004 -10 PAGE 4 3.2 Boat Launch Repair /Maintenance Cost a) The boat launch was constructed in 1977 by CLOCA. Despite regular maintenance by CLOCA and the Municipality, the structure is deteriorating and will be in need of major upgrades or repairs. The Bowmanville Boat Launch consists of a ramp approximately 10 metres wide, with wooden piers on either side set on stone cribs. The ramp itself is block construction. The ramp provides a gradual decline leading to the water. Currently both the piers and block ramp are showing signs of heaving due to deterioration and frost. In its present state of deterioration the Boat Launch is currently in need of major reconstruction to restore it to a safe and serviceable condition. Our Capital Budget for 2010 currently includes $35,000 for pier renovations but excludes ramp reconstruction. b) A preliminary estimate for the boat launch ramp includes a design cost of approximately $15,000 and construction cost between $80,000 to $140,000. Not included in this estimate would be any and all additional fees from CLOCA and /or other external agencies for permits required to complete the project. It is important to note that these figures are estimated costs and should only be used for approximate budgeting purposes. c) Maintenance on the parking lot is currently negligible and should remain so for the next five years. For the last ten years the boat launch has been leased property from CLOCA and only this year came into Municipal ownership due to a land exchange. Until now, staff has conducted yearly inspections and work was restricted to those items required for public safety. 3.3 Equipment Cost Related to Charging Fees In order to charge the users, equipments would have to be purchased. There are three options to accomplish this objective. a) Install a central parking meter (pay and display system) that would accept both cash and credit card. This type of equipment costs more than the conventional central meter used in our downtown municipal parking lots. Equipment that would accept credit card is probably the best option to reduce the probability of vandalism REPORT NO.: CAO- 004 -90 at this remote location. The cost of this equipment is about $10,000. Plus installation. b) Install a barrier gate lift system at the boat launch entrance using equipment that would accept both cash and credit card. This method would directly charge the users of the boat launch without penalizing the other users of the parking lots for other purposes. The cost of this equipment is about $8,000. plus installation cost. c) Hire students to collect a fee on site. Given the fishing season generally runs from May to October, and from dawn to dusk (12 hours day), the wages would be about $26,000. 3.4 Enforcement Cost Any park and display system would require some form of enforcement which would involve checking vehicles for valid tickets, issuing tickets for violation, and checking the equipment to ensure proper functioning. The cost of providing parking enforcement for the six months (May -Oct,) including overtime on weekends and statutory holidays is approximately $10,000. The r Municipality can theoretically recover a portion of this cost through parking fines. However, this will. be negligible because the parking lot is used mostly by residents from Quebec. As Quebec does not have a reciprocal agreement with Ontario for the collection of outstanding parking fines, our chances of collecting any fines based on voluntarily action would be rather unrealistic. 3.5 Potential Liability Cost The cost of liability is extremely difficult to identify. If the Municipality decided to dredge as a partnership arrangement despite not owning the land under the creek, it can be construed to have accepted responsibility and the liability that goes with it. The nature of the liability and the associated cost will not likely be known until a claim is filed against the Municipality. Remote as it may be, Council should be aware of the potential ramification of its decision to dredge the channel. Detailed comments from the Director of Finance on this subject are attached herein, 13 -32 REPORT NO.: CAO- 004 -10 4. 4.1 4.2 REVENUE ANALYSIS There are essentially two options available to the Municipality. Charging a Boat Launching Fee The Municipality does not keep any data or information as to the number of visitors or boat launch users and therefore has no reliable means to even make a best guess estimate. However, since a little information is better than none, we would assume that the. boat launch will draw an average of 10 users per day over a six month period (May - October). In this instance, the total users will be1825, and at $5 daily rate, which is the rate charged in Cobourg and Port Hope, or at $10 daily rate in Whitby, gross revenue of $9,125 to $18,250 can be realized It should be noted that once the Municipality charges a fee, there will be expectation from the users with respect to higher maintenance standards of the parking lots and the boat launch structures. Status Quo This option basically leaves things the way it is. There will be no charge to any user, and no investment by the Municipality for any capital improvements other than the regular maintenance and the pier repairs provided for in the 2010 budget. 5. CONCLUSION The concept of cost recovery by charging a fee for the privilege of using the boat launch, and hence using the proceeds to offset the cost of dredging is a. noble idea. However, the foregoing discussions have identified several limitations that will cause difficulty in the implementation of the concept. In any event, Council should be satisfied whether or not it wishes to add dredging as a new municipal service and if so, to decide how best to provide funding in future budgets. Since the 2010 budget has already been struck, it would be advisable for Council to receive this report for information and defer the matter to future Council. • Lead .-Ihe Way . To: Franklin Wu, CAO From: Nancy Taylor, Director of Finance Date: May 3, 2010 Subject: DREDGING FINANCIAL AND INSURANCE IMPLICATIONS If the Municipality were to partner with the proponents and other interested parties to undertake dredging at the Port Darlington Marina, the first priority would be establishing which party would be the lead with respect to physically undertaking the work. If the Municipality is not undertaking the work, but simply contributing toward the cost, it is recommended that appropriate formal agreements be entered into which include limitations around financial obligations, insurance provisions and hold harmless and indemnification clauses. If the Municipality is undertaking the work, appropriate funds would be required, in advance, for each - party's proportionate share of the cost. With respect to ongoing operational liability, this is addressed under the Occupiers Liability Act. An `occupier" is defined as: A person who is In physical possession of the premises, or A person who has responsibility for and control over the condition of premises or the activities carried on, or control over persons allowed to enter the premises, despite the fact that there is more than one occupier of the same premises. As an occupier of the premises, Clarington will owe a duty to take such care in all circumstances to see that persons, and property brought on the premises are reasonably safe while on the premises. In deciding whether "reasonable" care has been exercised, Clarington will have to put in place a system of inspection for the parking lot and the dock. With the installation of a pay per use gate, the expectation of users will increase and the determination of "reasonable" care. Clarington would no longer be able to provide only minimal maintenance on the gravel parking lot and replace loose boards. A formal system of inspection and maintenance would need to be put in place by the Operations Department. Also, warning signs of risk to individuals or property is recommended and potentially improved lighting. The Municipality would not require additional insurance coverage. However, at renewal the insurer will assess the risk to determining if it has increased enough to make an impact on the Municipality's insurance premium. Any claims received would bean important factor in determining this. CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1 C 3A6 T 905- 623 -3379 F 905 - 623 -4169 13 -34 PacJe �2 In the event of any damage to third parties' persons or property, a claim would be filed through the Clerk's Department. Essentially, If a plaintiffs evidence can demonstrate to a court that the Municipality's parking lot and /or dock was in a state of disrepair and in generally poor condition, the Municipality will be found liable. Furthermore, if a trial judge finds that the system of inspection and repair of the parking lot or dock was inadequate the Municipality will be held negligent for the damages. Joint and several liability principles would apply. With respect to costs, the Operations Department would incur maintenance and inspection costs somewhat greater due to the higher duty of care than would incur currently. Meter revenues can be used to offset costs for the parking lot maintenance but not for boat launch maintenance and inspection since parking .revenues must be segregated and used for parking purposes. There may be an opportunity to set the charge as a combined parking /boat launch fee in order to extend the ability to use the funds for boat launch maintenance or future dredging costs. However, every vehicle entering would then be required to pay the combined fee, regardless of whether they were utilizing the boat launch itself. Council would have to approve, by By -law, the combined fee and the authorized apportionment between the parking components versus the boat launch portion. The other option would involve establish a manned booth during weekends to specifically charge for the launch or installing a second gate at the boat launch itself, requirement payment before the arm would lift to allow launching. Cost recovery on both these options may be unlikely.

Should Council wish to pursue this avenue of determent, it is suggested that an amount of $16,000 be included in the budget to cover the period of. April to September 2011. 15.0 BOAT LAUNCH PARKING METERS 15.1 During discussion of the dredging of the Bowmanville Creek, the issue of parking was addressed. The following three options were identified at that time in order to charge the users of the lot: 1. Install a central parking meter that would accept both cash and credit card (cost approximately $10,000, plus installation); 2. Install a barrier gate lift system at the boat launch entrance that would accept both cash and credit card (cost $8,000, plus installation); and 3. Hire students to collect a fee on site during fishing season (cost $26,000). 15.2 In order to be consistent, staff have recommended in the 2011 capital budget, the installation of central parking meters at both the Bowmanville Boat Launch and the Newcastle Boat Launch. 16.0 COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT'FOR COURTICE; 16.1 At a meeting held on January 17, 2011 the following resolution was passed: "THAT staff be directed to propose a Community Improvement project for Courtice in the 2011 budget ". 16.2 It is proposed that the project would be a Civic Parkette on the north -west corner of Highway*2 and Trulls Road. These are lands purchased -a number of years ago for this purpose. It is a high visibility location within the Coutice Main Street Corridor. The base project would be approximately $125,000. It is suggested that should Council wish to proceed, this project is listed under the optional items on Schedule "B" with a tax levy portion of $75,000. The balance of the funds would come from the CIP reserve fund at $50,000. 17.0 ROADSIDE CLEAN -UP: 17.1 Clarington has been verbally notified by the Region of Durham that it.will no longer -be reimbursed by the Region for costs incurred for cleanup of roadside dumping. Historically these costs were reimbursed to Clarington from the Region because, prior to regionalization of waste pickup, Clarington would recover these costs through its local waste rates. This represents a loss of revenue to Clarington of approximately $43,000 and is reflected on Schedule "A" attached as a local levy increase. 15 -10 13 -37 Project Version .Jepartment Sub-Department Municipality of ClOington Capital Projects 19-191-11002 Central Capital Plan Year 12011 W_ HOW :New unit to be installed at Newcastle Boat Launch and another new unitto be installed in the Division Street parking lot and that mdsting 8-year old meter • be transf4ir6• • Bowmanville Boat launch along with newsolar panel_ as detailed Expenditures Equipment 30,dO0 30,000 30,000 30,000 • Expenditures rote/ Funding Reserve Funds Parking Lot 16,500 16,600 16,600 16,600 Development Charges Parking 13,500 13,600 '13,500 13,500 Funding Total PAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ;Project c , Project CIafication Re ace nt 'Program/Activlty DC Reference .Road Segment No, zo 'Expected Useful Life 'P;Ject"Manager 224 13-38 Meeting: GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE Date: December 10, 2012 Resolution #: By- lawr#: Report#: CLD- 036 -12 File: Subiect: ACCESSIBILITY POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1.

The Municipality's Customer Service Standard was approved by Council in November of 2009. 2. INTEGRATED ACCESSIBILITY REGULATION In 2011, Ontario Regulation 191/11 streamlined general accessibility requirements by incorporating three of the remaining four standards, being transportation, accessible information and communications, and employment accessibility. The Integrated Accessibility Standards specify various timelines for the accessibility requirements to be met. In accordance with the Standards, large designated public sector organizations (of which the Municipality of Clarington is one) are to develop, implement and maintain policies governing how the organization achieves or will achieve accessibility through meeting its requirements referred to in the Regulation by January 1, 2013. In order to meet this requirement of the Regulation, the Accessibility Policy attached hereto as Attachment No. 1 has been drafted and reviewed by the Accessibility Advisory Committee. To simply the accessibility policies of the Municipality, the Customer Service Policy which was adopted in 2009 has been incorporated into this overall Accessibility Policy.

Purpose: Under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA), Ontario municipalities are required to comply with Accessibility Standards for Customer Service, Ontario Regulation 429/07 as of January 1, 2010. The Municipality of Clarington is responsible to provide notice to the public when facilities or services, upon which people with disabilities rely to access or use our goods and services, are disrupted. In order to meet this commitment, the Municipality of Clarington will provide notification at the site of the disruption, on the website and by other appropriate and available means. 2. Procedures: When a program is cancelled or a service is disrupted, staff responsible for making the decision must initiate the Notice of Service Disruption procedure. • A sign shall be created (see Attachment No: 1) and posted in a conspicuous place at the site(s) of the cancellation or disruption. • A copy of the sign or the information from the sign will also be added to the Municipality's website, www.clarington.net. • A general e-mail will be sent to Customer Service staff regarding the service disruption or cancellation. • Where applicable, other forms of notification will also be considered, i.e., on an outgoing phone message, on public information boards, on local radio, etc. • When the disruption or cancellation is over, the notices shall be removed and staff informed.

The estimated time of the service disruption will be: From: To: The disruption includes: The following alternative services are available: On behalf of the Municipality of Clarington we would like to thank you for your patience in this matter. Contact. 13 -48 1. Purpose: Under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA), Ontario municipalities are required to comply with Accessibility Standards for Customer Service, Ontario Regulation 429/07. In accordance with the regulation, the Municipality of Clarington must develop procedures that: a) permit customers with disabilities, who have support persons or service animals, to use them while accessing goods or services on premises open to the public and, b) where admission fees are charged, provide advance notice concerning what admission, if any, will be charged with respect to a support person. This procedure applies only to those areas of the premises that the public or third parties are allowed to access. 2. Definitions: "Guide Dog" - Guide dog has the same definition as in section 1 of the Blind Persons Rights'Actwhich is a dog trained as a guide for a blind person and having the qualifications prescribed by the regulations. "Service Animal" - An animal is considered a service animal for a person with a disability: a) if it is readily apparent that the animal is used by the person for reasons relating to his or her disability; or b) if the person provides a letter from a physician or nurse confirming that the person requires the animal for reasons relating to the disability. Examples of service animals include dogs used by people who are blind, hearing alert animals for people who are deaf, deafened or hard of hearing, and animals trained to alert an individual to an oncoming seizure and lead them to safety. Animals, other than dogs, may also be service animals. 13 -49 -2- "Support Person" - A support person is an individual hired or chosen by a person with a disability to provide services or assistance with communication, mobility, personal care, medical needs or with access to goods or services. Personal care needs may include, but are not limited to, physically transferring an individual from one location to another or assisting an individual with eating or using the washroom. Medical needs may include, but are not limited to, monitoring an individual's health or providing medical support by being available in the event of a seizure. The support person could be a paid personal support worker, a volunteer, a friend or a family member. He or she does not necessarily need to have special training or qualifications. "Premises" - Premises include the buildings, land or grounds where the Municipality provide.goods or services. In accordance with the requirements of the standard, this procedure only applies to those areas of the premises where the public or third parties customarily have access. You do not have to let anyone with a service animal or support person into places or areas where the public does not have access. 3. Procedures: Service Animals If a person with a disability is accompanied by a guide dog or other service animal, the Municipality of Clarington shall ensure that the person is permitted to enter the premises with the animal and to keep the animal with him or her unless the animal is otherwise excluded by law from the premises. Two examples of laws that specifically exclude animals are regulations under the Health Protection and Promotion Act and the Food Safety and Quality Act, 2001. Ontario Regulation 562 under the Health Protection and Promotion Act states that animals are not allowed in places where food is manufactured, prepared, processed, handled, served, displayed, stored, sold or offered for sale. It does make an exception for service animals to allow them to go where food is normally served, sold or offered for sale. If a service animal is excluded by law from the premises, the Municipality of Clarington shall ensure that other measures are available to enable the person with a disability to obtain, use or benefit from the municipality's goods or services. Staff must explain to the individual why the animal is excluded and see what other arrangements can be made to provide them with the Municipality's goods or services. If the person with the service animal agrees, this might mean leaving the animal in a secure area where it is permitted by law. It might also mean offering to serve the person in another location where the animal is permitted. 13 -50 -3- There may be rare circumstances where, for the reasons of health and safety of another person, allowing a person with a disability to enter a premises and be accompanied by their service animal needs to be considered. In the rare situation where another person's health and safety could be seriously impacted by the presence of a service animal on premises open to the public, i.e., in a swimming pool or on an ice surface, the Municipality of Clarington will consider all options for allowing the service animal. In general, people with allergies to animals are affected if they touch the animal or are in very close proximity for a lengthy period of time. Some of the options to consider may be creating distance between two individuals, eliminating in- person contact, changing the time the two receive service, using air purifiers and any other measures that would allow the person to use their service animal on the premises. The Municipality of Clarington will consider all relevant factors and options in trying to find a solution that meets the needs of both individuals. It is understood that a person who has a support animal will maintain control of the animal while on the premises and that the care of the animal is the responsibility of its owner. Support Person If a person with a disability is accompanied by a support person, the Municipality of Clarington shall ensure that both persons are permitted to enter the premises together and that the person with a disability is not prevented from having access to the support person while on the premises. For Community Services programs and services, the Municipality of Clarington does not apply a user fee or admission to the support person. If an amount is payable by a person for admission in any other department or division, the Municipality of Clarington will ensure that notice about the amount, if any, payable in respect of the support person is given in advance. Wherever fees are calculated, support person fees will be considered. Organizations who utilize Community Services Department facilities will be responsible for making their own decision on fees for support persons and notifying the public. The Municipality of Clarington may require a person with a disability to be accompanied by a support person when on the premises, but only if a support person is necessary to protect the health or safety of the person with a disability or the health or safety of others on the premises. Municipal staff will consider whether they will require the attendance of a support person in the following situations: a) When there is a significant risk to the health and safety of the person with a disability or others (the mere possibility of risk is insufficient); 13 -51 b) That risk is greater than the risk associated with other customers and that risk cannot be eliminated or reduced by other means; c) The assessment of the risk is based on consideration of the duration of the risk, the nature and severity of the potential harm, the likelihood that the potential harm will occur, and the imminence of the potential harm; and d) The assessment of the risk is based on the individual's actual characteristics, not merely on generalizations, misperceptions, ignorance or fears about a disability. 13 -52 �.. 11116191 111 ■ 1.

Franklin Wu, M.A.O.M Chief Administrative Officer FW /jp CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T 905 - 623 -3379 17 -1 1 Y i • k•. k Zile] 1.1 The Energy Management Steering Committee (Committee), as identified in previous reports to Council continues to work on a number of initiatives with the goal of reducing energy usage in our municipal facilities. 1.2 The Committee has undertaken a program to complete energy audits on municipal buildings. To date audits have been completed on sixteen buildings with the remaining buildings to be completed in the coming months. As identified in the 2011 Activity Report to Council earlier this year, VIP Energy Inc. has taken the findings of the first twelve audits and developed a master plan that identifies all potential energy conservation measures. As the remaining audit reports are completed, they will be integrated into the master plan. 2.1 The Master Plan was developed by taking all of the energy conservation measures identified and grouping them into categories. These measures include water conservation; lighting retrofits; building envelope; boiler upgrades; and other mechanical system upgrades. 2.2 The plan also provided cost estimated for each measure, as well as an estimated payback period. With a total cost of measures identified of approximately $1.6M, the Committee decided to develop a short term plan to capitalize on the most cost effective measures. 2.3 The Committee has undertaken a review of the full list of measures and has identified those measures that have been calculated to have a payback of five years and less. In addition, two lighting retrofit projects that have a payback of less than six years have been included in the proposed list (Attachment 1). 3.1 On January 1, 2012 Ontario Regulation #397 -11, Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plans, came into effect. The Regulation requires public agencies to report on annual energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions as well as setting out targeted consumption reductions and the measures that will contribute to realizing energy reductions. 3.2 The Municipality will be required to prepare this report on or before July 1, 2014. The completion of this master plan and the approval to implement a number of the conservation measures will assist the municipality to fulfill this reporting requirement. 17 ®2 REPORT NO.: CAO- 006 -12 PAGE 3 4.0 FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS 4.1 The total cost of the conservation measures being proposed is $479,576.00 (Attachment 1) 4.2 It is proposed that the cost of the conservation measures be financed from the Municipal Government Enterprise Reserve Fund. 4.3 Included in the Master Plan are the estimated savings calculated by VIP Energy for each measure. Upon completion of the measures any realized savings directly attributed to the measure, will be directed back to the Municipal Government Enterprise Reserve Fund to repay the financing provided. This will allow for a replenishment of the funds from utility savings that could be used for future conservation measures not included in this initial phase of the program. 5.0 COMMENTS 5.1 This implementation strategy aligns with the Corporate Strategic Plan 2011 — 2014. One of the priorities of the plan is to "Promote Green Initiatives" with the objective to reduce the Municipality's energy consumption. It is recommended that a corporate -wide approach to this program will best serve the Municipality in meeting this objective. 5.2 By investing in energy conservation measures, the Municipality will reduce consumption; control costs associated with energy; and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 5.3 In addition to the Energy Master Plan Program, the Committee is working on a number of other initiatives and will continue to report to Council. The Committee will also continue to work with our local energy distribution partners to find programs that are beneficial to the Municipality to reduce energy use and energy costs. CONFORMITY WITH STRATEGIC PLAN — The recommendations contained in this report conform to the general intent of the following priorities of the Strategic Plan: _ Promoting economic development Maintaining financial stability _ Connecting Clarington X Promoting green initiatives Investing in infrastructure Showcasing our community Not in conformity with Strategic Plan 17 -3 (T3 E� -1 U) N OD Xn LU 1 N v U) co Q) O m L Q) O u h.0 Q1 LU Q) V) O a O L w r U) 0 O F- 17 ®4 .» N N N o v v u> N v o � a�- o o � N W p O p M O p N � N EA O N o O � rn � - tdD rn rn M r li In Ili p a ri c0 � T a a M O N 5 N 3 O e r. �^ m E E rn 5 o r. r M 0 o r -C 0 u7 0 0 rn a v, a rn� m � m c N � � is p � o s E s 0 N � � U N N N ° s9 rn A � L E W d U E O E V Y o 5 E N 0~ _ N N a a y m a (p - U _ E O E — = t ~ t O (n c O N 0� Q-.

Additionally based on the following,our property should be designated as residential:There is a residential subdivision to be built approximately 400 feet to the north of our property which will front Courtice Road and extend in depth equal to our property.A 0.58 hectar portion of our property along the entire width at the furthest point east from Courtice Road was used to run buried services to support the subdivision to the north and install a bicycle path to join the existing subdivision to the new one to be built, George Reynolds Drive extension is planned to extend from Courtice Road to Harry Gay Drive which borders our property in its entire length.A Special Consideration designation is being proposed to a 10 acre property fronting Courtice Road and approximately 500 feet to south of our property.Based on the information provided and the proposed land use around our 4.784 hectar property I believe our request to have the proposed Hancock Neighbourhood plan amended as requested is justified, Steve Krezanowski/Olga Bergs(nee Krezanowski/John Krezanowski w e x t µ u to r. t'rs , jIn -1 h a �s A`�� fir, •, '. v� �� ,a f — M A o ry� }low, y° , i Requests(to cut down on spending and on maintenance that would be consistent with PPS and the Growth Plan): 1. Relocate northern road away from the wetland with housing units(backyards facing wetland)if the OMB approved Parkette will not be built(pg. 1-slides) 2. Do not extend George Reynolds.Why?To protect wetland, save trees, cut on maintenance,to shorten travel time–see Exhibit in your report B (2,000 m or 2 km), divert traffic evenly to different routes using the existing infrastructure 3. Resurface Hancock Rd.and rebuild broken bridge by replacing it with larger span to protect Species at Risk habitat; do not deepen ditches along roads within PSW, streams to also protect water quality and habitat for fish.

Circadian rhythm disorders are disruptions in a person's circadian rhythm—a name given to the"internal body clock"that regulates the(approximately)24-hour cycle of biological processes in animals and plants. The term circadian comes from Latin words that literally mean"around the day." The key feature of circadian rhythm disorders is a continuous or occasional disruption of sleep patterns.The disruption results from either a malfunction in the"internal body clock"or a mismatch between the"internal body clock and the external environment regarding the timing and duration of sleep.As a result of the circadian mismatch, individuals with these disorders usually complain of insomnia at certain times and excessive sleepiness at other times of the day, resulting in work, school, or social impairment. 7.

Trulls Road and the proposed Adelaide Street extension were deferred (Deferral No. 6) . In addition, the lands immediately adjacent to the east were referred to the Ontario Municipal Booed (Referral No, 1) .. The lands subject of Deferral No. 6 (and Referral No. were: .supported.'by Regional Council for inclusion in trio Courtice Urban- Arear during the initial adoption of the Plaxii. However:,, an reviewing the background materials submitted with the .Plan it was noted that n Region* af..Durham or ,Town of Newcastle planning staffs pp©rted'the inclusion• of. these lands within the ce Urban Ai•eat , In assessing this situation in the content of this baickground information, the comments from various agencies and the objectives of the Regional. Official. Plan, this Ministry identified two primary concerns. First; it was noted that all of' the subject lands and much of the surrounding area were identified as "Envirohmentaily Sensitive Areas" within the DROP. These lands were described as having significant forest cover which provided natural habitat and contribute to the maintenance of ground and surface water quantity and quality, specifically in relation to the baseflow, of the Farewell: and Black Creeks which are both coldwatear fisheries draining- into the environmentally sensitive and provincially significant Second Marsh. /2 5 I i I -2- t-�iras=fu�rioted that the north Courtice area represented the_crily urban area anywhere in the Re ion completely covered by an ^Environmentally Sensitive Areal designation. se cil]c3,�as:part"of the review°o€- the -Alai, there were extensive discussions between the Region and the Ministries of Municipal Affairs and Agriculture and Food regarding the Region's ability to justify all of the urban areas proposed in the Plan Given that staff dick not identify a need nor provide any justification for inclusion of the subject lands, the ministry questioned Council's rationale to include them. Since approval of the Flan, we have convened a meeting between the'Regidn, Town, CLOCA and the proponents to assess the. facts surrounding this situation. our conclusions from that meeting were that there was disagreement as to the conclusions of the proponents' technical studies; that significant portions of the forested area covering these lands had been removed; and, that despite such deforestation CLOCA still considered the lands to be environmentally sensitive. Since adoption of the Plan, the Ministry has also been advised of ongoing concerns regarding wellwater quality along Courtice Road to the east. It has been suggested that approval of the subject lands as I'rban Area" would assist in bringing piped water to the residents and institAitional. uses along Courtice Road. More recently, on July 18, 2994 Clarington Council passed a resolution requesting that the Ministry support a 30 year urban area boundary in the Clarington official Plan in order to facilitate resolution of the "water problem along Courtice Road even though the _. Courtice Road area would not be included within the iirban area boundary. Having considered these matters, I offer the following comments. First, although completely supportive of the need to address potential health hazards arising from quality problems with wellwater supplies along Courtice Road it has not been demonstrated that such an action would assist in resolving the situation- Further, neither the DROP or this Ministry's policies permit area municipalities to designate more than 20 years of lands for development. As a result, we do not support the use of a 30 year urban area boundary within the Clarington Official Plan. /3 6 REPORT NO PD-37-95 PAGE 2 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 The Durham Regional Official Plan, as approved by Regional Council in June 1991 and later in July 1993, designated lands north of the Courtice Urban Area on the east and west sides of Trulls Road and south of Pebblestone Road, as (Living Area'_ The 14inistry, in approving the Regional Plan in November 1993, deferred its consideration of the Living Area designation and related urban area boundary for the lands west of Trulls Road (Deferral Area No. 5 - Tonno Construction/Erhard and Henrietta Witzkej687120 Ontario Limited) . However, the lands designated east of Trulls Road were referred to the Ontario Municipal Board (Referral No. 1 - Kingsberry Properties) . Both areas are indicated .on Attachment No. 2, 2.2 As noted below, Council has adopted a number of resolutions in respect of urban development north of the existing Courtice Urban Area boundary. • March 25, 199X -- Council recommended the designation of a Special Study Area for lands bounded by Townline Road, Pebblestone Road, Courtice Road and the existing urban area in the new Regional Plan; + Maw 11, 1992 - Council resolved that it "strongly opposes the designation of a Living Area north of Courtice" in the new Regional Plan but supported the retention of a Special Study Area north to Pebblestone Road; • May 14, 1993 -- Council, in consideration of its resolution to reduce the population target for courtice to 40,000, approved Staff's ]report recommending "no northerly extension of courtice should be contemplated within the timeframe of the Regional Plan"; Council also supported the elimination of Special Study Area No. 7 to the north of Courtice; July 18, 1994 - Council resolved to request the ministry of Municipal Affairs to support a 30 year boundary in the Clarington Official Plan to facilitate the resolution of water quality problems on Courtice Road; . .3 i 7 APPENDIX No. 1 REVISION No. 1 TO THE RECOMM`_ADED OFFICIAL PLAIN MAP A2, ND USE, COURTICE URBAN AREA LAND FA It wE A 1-i�_�___•. ..�...� EXTEND URBAN K BOUNDARY ON ALL MAPS A—F _ DESIGNATE AS -SPECIAL -STUDY AREA No_ 5° ON MAP A2 '� �E66� SrO�iE ; { I d p(r YE 1F'I f M ® ��? 1� 1 ® ' Boo DkRH M i' Ls j IM ­II g____ rO Gar EXl .51�F� 'E•E ;�W4 2.
