Using an electronic presentation, Joe expressed concerns that the increased residential component is not consistent with the original plans for a waterfront park. J. Neal stated that residents of the proposed development would dominate available parking, making it difficult for visitors to access the waterfront. Joe noted that the current proposal does not identify a dedicated parking area and that a high -density residential block is now located where a stormwater management pond had previously been shown. J. Neal believes that the proposal appears to prioritize the developer's interests and does not support a waterfront park. Joe questioned whether the road allowance, owned by the Municipality, which is located within land owned by the developer, would be transferred to the developer. J. Neal added that, if such a transfer were to occur, it should be subject to a public process. Joe requested that Council reconsider the proposal, emphasizing that the development should focus on creating a community rather than simply adding housing, and cautioning that the current plan may resemble areas in north Oshawa. Joe answered questions from Members of Council. 2 Page 8 Clar*wn January 26, 2026 Council Minutes 8.

Report To: Council Date of Meeting: February 23, 2026 Report Number: FSD-010-26 Authored by: Sandra McKee, Acting Procurement Manager Submitted By: Trevor Pinn, Deputy CAO/Treasurer, Finance and Technology Reviewed By: By-law Number: File Number: Resort Sub Mary -Anne Dempster, CAO Resolution Number: Sinale Source Hemson Consultina for Fiscal Imoact Assessments Recommendation: 1. That Report FSD-010-26, be received for information. Page 50 Municipality of Clarington Page 2 Report FSD-010-26 Report Overview This report provides information for the single source of Hemson Consulting for the preparation of six Fiscal Impact Assessments, which in aggregate had a cost above $100,000, in accordance with the Procurement By-law. 1. Background 1.1 As provided for in the Clarington Official Plan, a variety of background and analyses are required to support a new Secondary Plan. A Financial Impact Analysis (FIA) is one such study. In general terms the objective of the FIA is to determine the proposed development's financial impact on the Municipality's operating and long-term capital budgets. This analysis will determine the overall financial contribution and cost implications of development that would occur through implementation of the preferred land use concepts. 1.2 In early 2024, Hemson Consulting was retained to update Clarington's Development Charges Background Study and create a Community Benefits Charges Strategy. Due to the extensive background information Hemson Consulting had gathered through this project, they were contacted by Finance Staff in April 2024 to complete Fiscal Impact Analyses for the remaining Secondary Plans. This allowed the work to be completed quickly and updated figures from the Development Charges study to be integrated as available. 2. Financial Considerations 2.1 Generally, in privately initiated Secondary Plans, the cost to prepare the FIA is borne by the Landowner Group and for Municipally initiated Secondary Plans, the cost is borne by the Municipality. 2.2 The total cost to complete the six FlAs is $149,356.83 (Blended HST Rate). The cost for these studies will be funded by the Landowner Groups. The Bowmanville West Secondary Plan is municipally initiated and is therefore funded by the Municipality. The Municipality's portion will be financed through the approved 2026 budget as follows: Secondary Plan Courtice Waterfront Sec Plan Account Number 100-50-502-15203- 7224 Total Cost $24,820 Municipal Portion $0 Page 51 Municipality of Clarington Page 3 Report FSD-010-26 Secondary Plan Account Number Total Cost Municipal Portion Farewell Heights Sec Plan 100-50-502-15107- 24,820 0 7224 Soper Hills Sec Plan 100-50-502-15104- 24,820 0 7224 Soper Springs Sec Plan 100-50-502-15105- 24,820 0 7224 CTOC Secondary Plan 100-50-502-15202- 24,820 0 7224 Bowmanville West Sec Plan 100-50-130-00000- 25,257 25,257 7160 2.3 While the cumulative total cost is above $100,000 and therefore meets the requirements for disclosure to Council, the FlAs are being completed over a number of years to complete the secondary plan program. The municipal portion does not meet those requirements for disclosure. The payment is being facilitated by the Municipality but it is not a municipal procurement. 2.4 This is being reported to Council for information purposes. 3. Strategic Plan This report supports the action G.2.1.3 of the Strategic Plan which is to Update and complete identified Secondary Plans. An FIA of each Secondary Plan is a requirement as per the Clarington Plan. 4. Climate Change Not Applicable. 5. Concurrence This report has been reviewed by the Deputy GAO of Planning and Infrastructure who concurs with the recommendation. Page 52 Municipality of Clarington Page 4 Report FSD-010-26 6.

Adoption of Agenda Moved by: S. Conway Seconded by: J. Dalrymple That the agenda for the December 16, 2025 meeting be approved, with the addition of a Heritage Permit Application (HPA) for 6537 Werry Road, Hampton. 25.71 Carried. 6. Delegations a. Heritage Application Permit (File No. HPA2025-008 REV) for 2656 Concession Road 4 J. Stycuk presented an updated Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) and demolition methodology regarding removal of the one -storey rear wing and a wood outbuilding. Following the project team's delegation at the November meeting, the HIA was reviewed. No records could be found on the construction date of the addition. Technical studies highlighted two risks: (1) vibration from heavy construction equipment; and (2) potential settlement if excavation occurs adjacent to the rear sections, risking structural transfer to the main section of the heritage dwelling. The project team explained that removing the identified sections would reduce vibration exposure during excavation and reduce settlement risks. Committee questions focused on long-term use of the main house (not yet determined), salvage opportunities for interior hardware and barn latches for educational outreach, and the condition of original brick where the addition is attached. The Committee expressed appreciation for the thoroughness of the methodology and intent to protect the heritage attributes of the main dwelling. 7. Heritage Permit Application — 6537 Werry Road, Hampton Page 66 Page 3 An HPA was received, requesting to improve venting in the attic by installing small soffit vents on the north and south side of the designated home to create airflow. The HPA submitted by the property owner explained that due to the thin plaster ceiling and lack of insulation, the heat from the home is travelling into the unvented attic space, causing the attic to heat up and melt the snow on our roof.

This would not restrict the Municipality from pursuing designation either under Part 4 or Part 5 within those five years. The property being removed from the Municipal Register prior to the January 1, 2027 timeline would not impact pursuing designation or a heritage district. The Committee noted a tree exceeding 30 cm on the property which should be designated, as well as a brick chimney. The significance of prominent resident R.A. Mitchell, as well as four-square building were noted. Moved by: V. Suppan Seconded by: R.

The Committee requested a conceptual site map to consider retaining `Mabel Bruce Way' as a named entrance nearby.

Page 75 Page 2 That the agenda for the December 16, 2025 meeting be approved, with an amendment to have the Hancock Neighbourhood Protection delegation from L. Racansky present first. 26.01 Carried. 6. Delegations a. Hancock Neighbourhood Protection: Libby Racansky L. Racansky delivered a presentation on the natural heritage value of the Hancock Neighbourhood in Courtice. She outlined the area's historical and ecological significance, noting that the large trees along Nash Road help reduce erosion and support the management needs of the nearby sewer and waste facility. She also highlighted that the neighbourhood is unique due to its underlying aquifer system. The Committee thanked L. Racansky for her presentation and the information provided. Committee members acknowledged the importance of the concerns and noted that the request was a bit broad for the Committee to act upon at this time. L. Racansky was encouraged to resubmit a more refined request in the future, identifying specific properties or features for consideration. b. Heritage Application Permit for CODEFS Facility (2656 Concession Road 4) The delegation attended to seek the Committee's support for a Heritage Permit Application for the proposed Clarington Operations Depot and Emergency and Fire Services Training Facility at 2656 Concession Road 4. They revisited concerns raised at the September Heritage Committee meeting and explained how each had been addressed. Development will not occur in the southwest corner of the property near the Heritage House, with all construction concentrated on existing farmland. The Region of Durham's planned roundabout at Liberty Street North and Concession Road 4 was also noted. Parking previously proposed near the Heritage House has been removed, and overall parking has been reduced while still meeting future needs. EV charging stations will be included. The delegation emphasized the project's focus on protecting and adaptively reusing the Heritage House in time, ensuring it retains open space around it to preserve its prominence. J. Stycuk reported on ongoing preservation efforts. Environmental assessments identified moisture and abatement needs in the basement, and heritage specialists will be consulted to ensure all work meets heritage standards. Committee members stressed the importance of applying heritage -specific property requirements. A suggestion was made to consider incorporating the Page 76 Page 3 historic village name "Salem" into the project name. The Committee expressed appreciation for the reduced parking and attention to environmental and heritage considerations. 7. Business Arising from Previous Minutes a. 3187 Middle Road Commemorative Plaque (S -C-2024-0008) The Committee reported that they had consulted with the Kemp family regarding the draft plaque wording presented at the December meeting, and the family confirmed they are satisfied with the draft. The Committee noted a concern with the plaque's reference to the "present day," as this phrasing would become outdated over time. Moved by: R. Sproule Seconded by: S. Welch That approval of the commemorative plaque wording proceeds conditionally, with the requirement that: - The phrase "through to present day" be modified to reflect the proper date; and - If any other changes are made, the draft wording be brought back to the CHC for consideration. 26.02 Carried. The Committee discussed updates on the Foster Creek Park Signage. Staff brought forward an update that the project team will be moving forward with the requested six signs, as outlined in Motion 25.73 from December's CHC meeting. The subcommittee is to provide wording for the six signs. 8. New Committee Business a. Property evaluations for consideration: 816 Regional Road 17, Newcastle The Committee reviewed the historical, cultural, and contextual information regarding the property known as Docville. Their discussion emphasized the evolution of the house from its origins as a modest single -storey structure to its later development into a two -storey dwelling. Page 77 Page 4 They also considered the significance of the historic barn and explored the property's associations with early settlement patterns, connection to the primitive church, and its longstanding involvement in cultural tourism. In addition, the Committee noted the property's considerable value, reflecting both its architectural presence and its prominent identity within the community. The Committee noted this importance is further reinforced by Docville's long- standing role as a recognizable filming location for numerous film and television productions, including children's programming and feature films. Moved by: V. Suppan Seconded by: R. Hooper That 816 Regional Road 17, Newcastle be designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, with the Statement of Significance to include the following: - - The significance that the property has gained through film; - The primitive church; - The barn; - The interior and exterior of the house; - History that the home was once single -storey and was converted into a two - storey Georgian style residence; - Former name "Windy Acres" associated with the property; - Value of the property is important as a period piece. 26.03 Carried. Property owners attended the meeting and discussed they wanted to preserve Docville, wanting to conserve the movie set (including the listing of film productions, e.g. TVO) and the barn, and are aligned with the Committee's recommendation to proceed with designation Moved by: S. Conway Seconded by: R. Hooper That attendees sign in at all future CHC meetings, and that those whose participation extends beyond attending for informational purposes state the purpose of their attendance. Page 78 Page 5 26.04 Carried. ii. 36 O'Dell Street, Bowmanville Staff informed the Committee that the property owner had communicated his opposition to designation, citing his home insurance provider would not insure a property designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. Staff noted that insurance for heritage properties is an unregulated industry and that coverage practices vary widely and change frequently. They explained that this is a broader issue affecting municipalities across Ontario, not only Clarington. Staff also advised that, in past situations, the Municipality has provided letters to insurance companies confirming that, in the event of a loss, it would not require the heritage resource to be rebuilt in kind. The Committee discussed the challenges surrounding insurance for heritage properties and the general unpredictability of the industry. The matter was referred back to Staff for further discussion with the property owner. The Committee also noted that the ARA report does not provide a construction date for the dwelling. Members discussed the potential significance of the stone at the front of the property engraved with the word "Kirkland" and requested further clarification regarding its historical relevance. iii. 7755 Old Scugog Road, Enniskillen The Committee clarified that the heritage interest is focused primarily on the McLaughlin Shed rather than the altered primary dwelling. Members expressed disagreement with the ARA report's conclusion that the property lacks contextual significance, noting its relationship to the original McLaughlin house located across the road and its proximity to the nearby cemetery where Mary McLaughlin is buried. The Committee also noted the building's historic functions, including its use for carriage making and blacksmithing, as contributing factors to its heritage value. Moved by: V. Suppan Seconded by: R. Sproule That the McLaughlin Shed at 7755 Old Scugog Road, Enniskillen be considered by Council for designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, and further investigation occur to determine the heritage value of the residential dwelling on the property. 26.05 Carried. b. Heritage Application Permit for CODEFS Facility (2656 Concession Road 4) Page 79 Page 6 Moved by: V. Suppan Seconded by: S. Conway To support the Heritage Permit Application for 2656 Concession Road 4 to facilitate the new CODEFS facility, as well as the removal of the parking around the heritage structure, subject to hoarding procedures adhering to the property standards requirements for heritage structures; and that the name "Salem" be integrated into the project. 26.06 Carried. The Committee discussed concerns related to social media criticism related to communication about previous delegations. The Committee discussed future agendas should indicate when significant community -interest items will be discussed, and delegation procedures should be verbally outlined at the start of each meeting to avoid misunderstanding. 9. Correspondence and Council Referrals 10. Project Reports a. Subcommittee reports i.

The Committee discussed how the subcommittee can continue to provide recommendations for designation Staff reports, and once Staff work through the 55 listed properties, reports can continue to be written and brought to Council. The Committee raised concerns about lack of a Tree -Protection By-law applicable to heritage -significant trees. Staff informed the Committee about an upcoming Evening Workshop Series hosted by The Brown Homestead in St. Catharines. The training was discussed to be relevant for members working on the Municipal Heritage Register and Inventory. Moved by: S. Conway Seconded by: V. Suppan To approve funding for a member of the Committee to attend the workshop, hosted by the Brown Homestead. 26.06 Carried. 14. Adjournment: 9:35 pm Next Meeting: February 17th at 7:00PM Page 82 Joseph J. Neal February 20, 2026 Municipality of Clarington Attention: Mary -Anne Dempster/Darryl Lyons Re: Courtice Waterfront Secondary Plan I am writing this letter to follow up on several questions I raised at the January 26, 2026 council meeting, which to my knowledge haven't been addressed. I sent the enclosed correspondence to you and all members of council as well on February 12, 2026 and I did not receive any reply. 1. Unopened Road Allowance I raised the issue as to whether an agreement has been made for the closing and transfer to the developer of the road allowance between lots 30 and 31, BF concession, which is known as Down Road. The road allowance has an area of approximately 4 acres, and using an estimated value per acre based on developable land of $1M per acre, the road allowance in total would have an estimated value of $4,000,000. Before this matter is voted on, I am asking that you publicly state whether it is intended that any portions of Down Road be closed, and transferred to the developer. If that is to take place, what are the financial terms. 2. Clarington Property My February 12, 2026 letter requested that an overlay of the property owned by Clarington be provided along with the land owned by the developer for which the Official Plan amendment is being approved. In the absence of a reply from Clarington, I am enclosing a copy of the plan presented at the planning meeting held on January 19, 2026 and the part hatched in red, from my review of the property title, appears to be owned by Clarington. The December 2025 Waterfront Management Strategy also appears to show stormwater management areas being located on land owned by Clarington (pages 29-32). Page 83 2 Do you agree that the foregoing Clarington plans show residential areas and stormwater management ponds on land owned by Clarington? If that is correct, I am asking that the following questions be answered at the council meeting before this matter is voted on: a.) Are the Clarington OPA and zoning amendment maps in error, or has Clarington agreed to transfer land that it owns to the developer, which will become residential? If Clarington has agreed to transfer property to the developer, what are the financial terms? b.) If in fact the stormwater management areas shown on the enclosed plan are owned by Clarington, are they intended to service the residential area owned by the developer? If that is the intended result, this change increases the value of that portion of the developer's land, while at the same time reducing the useability of the Clarington property for recreational uses that the public could enjoy. In the interests of openness and transparency, which is the hallmark of municipal governance, I would request that these questions be answered at the municipal council meeting before the matter is voted on. I would be pleased to speak to this matter at the council meeting on January 23, 2026 if permitted. Yours truly, Joseph J. Neal c.

Clarington Property I am enclosing (i) the reference plan for the area, and the land to the east of the developer's land which is owned by Clarington is outlined in yellow; (ii) the PIN map for the area, and the land owned by Clarington is to the east of the area outlined in red; and (iii) the plan presented at the planning meeting held on January 19, 2026. I would refer also to the plans contained at pages 29-32 of the December 2025 Waterfront Management Strategy. Please provide an overlay of the secondary and zoning amendment plans for the developer's property, with the enclosed reference plan and PIN Map. I look forward to these questions being answered.
