DELEGATIONS
Janice Jones addressed Council concerning Item 5 of Report #1- PSD- 022 -13 -
Proposed Official Plan, Rezoning, and Amendment to Draft Approved Plan of
Subdivision and to Permit a 261 Unit Residential Plan of Subdivision. Ms. Jones
stated that eight years ago, her family moved to Beckett Crescent in Courtice and
were very happy with their choice of home and neighbourhood which consisted of
mainly single detached homes with a few proposed semi - detached and townhomes to
be built. She noted the neighbourhood had a public elementary school within walking
distance and a proposed high school next door. Since then, the school board has
decided not to pursue a high school and the land that was supposed to be used for
the school was changed to include 90 single- detached homes and 66 townhomes.
Ms. Jones stated that last year, she received a letter proposing another change to the
zoning from medium to high density residential to allow for 192 garden flat apartments
in 16 three - storey buildings with 12 units each. Ms. Jones stated area residents
started a petition in opposition to the rezoning last year and to date, have collected
over 750 signatures. Ms. Jones questioned the rationale for the development at this
location. She stated the Courtice main corridor would be a more appropriate location
for high density residential. Ms. Jones is concerned with the impact on traffic and
safety with the addition of 261 units and the need for more parks. She suggested the
applicant revise the plan to include more single- detached homes and greenspace with
a plan that fits with their community. Ms. Jones urged Council not to amend the
existing zoning for the property.
Richard Aubry, Architect, Preston Group, addressed Council concerning Item 5 of
Report #1- PSD- 022 -13 - Proposed Official Plan, Rezoning, and Amendment to Draft
Approved Plan of Subdivision and to Permit a 261 Unit Residential Plan of
Subdivision. Mr. Aubry stated the Preston Group is committed to Clarington having
been in the community for over 15 years developing over 350 single, semi - detached
and townhomes creating the best possible communities. Through use of a
PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Aubry reviewed the proposal which creates a
neighbourhood that achieves a higher level of density with three - storey small floor
plate designs which respond to and complement the existing community in both use
and form and creates a pedestrian - friendly and transit - friendly community.
Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - April 15, 2013
Mr. Aubry highlighted parkette areas that will allow the public to connect to different
spaces providing alternative pedestrian environments. He stated there has been a
number of meetings with staff and consultation with the public to address concerns
with respect to traffic, form and fit, parking and pedestrian safety. Mr. Aubry stated
the proposal conforms to the Provincial Policy Statement and the applicant is following
the rules and guidelines set out by the regulatory authorities. Mr. Aubry
acknowledged that residents are fighting for the quality of their community and for its
future noting the applicant played a significant role in creating the community and will
continue to fight for this proposal.

Barns —MTO has offered to assist with this project by providing a list and locations of
the, barns that are in the 407 path. Staff have been able to map barn structures using
the codes-from MPAC; additional work will be needed to refine the way in which this
information is extracted to get to the age of barns and types that would meet "heritage ".
NEW BUSINESS
Liberty Bowl
The Committee reviewed photos of Liberty Bowl taken by David and Karin. David
provided a commentary. The owners have sold most everything inside; much of the
equipment, lanes and materials will be re- purposed /reused.
407 Heritage Bridges, Scenic Roads, and Rail Corridors
The MTO has asked that any bridges, scenic roads, and rail corridors identified as
heritage resources in the Municipality's heritage resource inventory be relayed to their
5
heritage consultants. Since Clarington is so large, this type of resource has not been
inventoried to date. Additional staff and resources to complete such an inventory would
be necessary. Reference to the protection of historical structures, streetscapes,
landscapes, vistas and ridge -lines are included in the Cultural Heritage objectives of the
Clarington Official Plan.
The Committee reviewed the listing and photos of affected bridges, roads, and rail
corridors provided by the MTO from the 2009 Environmental Assessment. It was
suggested that current photos be taken so that they can be compared with the 2007
photos. Staff will request the digital photograph files from the MTO. Karin and David will
take photos of the features. Photographic documentation is the proposed strategy for
recognizing these heritage features.
Heritage Plaques
As a solution to the problem of theft and the high cost of the bronze heritage building
plaques, Planning staff are exploring different options to replicate the bronze plaques
using materials that will not be subject to theft but are aesthetically appealing and will
stand up to weathering.
A sample plaque using plastic material was reviewed at the meeting however
Committee Members agreed that they would like to continue exploring other options.
Tenzin Gyaltsan moved the meeting be adjourned.
Next meeting: May 21, 2013, 7:00 p.m., at Clarington Municipal Offices,

Attachment #1 — Heritage Week Update

Heritage Week 2013 Working Group
Report to C.H.0 April 16, 2013
The group met on Thursday, March 21 to review the various activities held during
Heritage Week 2013. Representatives from the Architectural Conservancy of
Ontario(Clarington), Bowmanville Business Improvement Association, Bowmanville
Museum, Clarington Heritage Committee, Clarington Older Adults Association,
Newcastle Village District Historical Society, Visual Arts Centre and Planning Services
staff were in attendance.
Bowmanville B.I.A: Bowmanville B.I.A did support the week and approximately five
merchants participated with Heritage window displays. It was generally expressed that
this represented a good starting point for future years.
Bowmanville Museum: This year, the Museum didn't field any dedicated Heritage Week
Events The group welcomed the Museum's newly appointed Executive Director, Julia
Fielding, who expressed her support for the Museums participation in Heritage Week
2014.
A.C.O: Ten people attended the ACO /Museum Walking Tour and several more had
been expected, but were probably deterred by the extremely cold weather.
C.H.C: The Orono Old Home Movie Night was very successful, with approximately fifty
people attending. Everyone was most appreciative, and also enjoyed the display of
Heritage Panels supplied by the Planning Department.
The Banner was erected across Highway 2 by Veridian at the beginning of February,
but unfortunately fell victim to very high winds on Heritage Day. It seems likely that
improper installation played a part in this loss, and Veridian has kindly agreed to assist
with its replacement
Books were sold at the Apple Blossom Flower Shops (3), Orono Home Movie Night (1),
VAC Closing Ceremonies (1) Hoopers Jewellers (3) and the C.O.A.A (12), for a total of
20 sold with $380 generated.
Twelve people visited the Open House at 107 Beaver Street in Newcastle on Saturday
February 23.
C.O.A.A: All events held at the Beech Centre were well attended. Fifteen people came
out to the Heritage Photo Day in costume, 132 people attended the Legend of Dan
McGrew theatre event, nine people were at the Geneology session and the Cozy Cafe
Old Tyme Pricing event brought in good crowds all day.
NVDHS: Twelve people attended the Family Day event held in the Historical Room,
which featured an archeological dig, and model train display. The Society was very
pleased by the public's interest.
V.A.C: There were very few additional visitors to the VAC during Heritage Week, and
attendance at the Closing Ceremonies was also sparse.
Treasure Hunt: Participation in the Treasure Hunt was disappointing. Some comments
were received that the Hunt was too long, and there also seemed to be difficulty with
pick up locations for the map. On the positive side, there was feedback that people were
enjoying the map as a map, and were planning to use it for sightseeing in better
weather. It is also permanently available on the Municipality's Heritage Website.
Publicitv and Promotion: The considerable time and effort put into publicity and
promotion enjoyed varying degrees of success. Posters and postcards were widely
distributed, but there was feedback that quantities of postcards were not used. The
Website enjoyed a significant increase in traffic during January (approximately 20
visitors /day) and while Clarington Communications Department estimated that the
number of people who saw their social media and electronic messages was in the tens
of thousands, some problems were encountered with intergroup social media
promotion. Radio KX 96 gave some coverage to Heritage Week, and there was also
good support from Orono Weekly Times ( two articles) photo op, editorial and two
articles in Clarington This Week and SNAP published a photo and write up of the
Closing Ceremonies.
Conclusions: Overall, members were very satisfied with the outcome of Clarington's
first Heritage Week. All indications were that the Week achieved its prime objective —
that of raising public awareness of the importance of local Heritage
As the weather undoubtedly played a part in the low turnout to outdoor activities, there
was a suggestion that the group consider moving the week to later in the year. It was
noted that, although the third week in February is provincially recognized as Heritage
Week, there was no appreciable promotion or support from the Province or the Ontario
Heritage Trust.
After discussion, it was decided to retain the February dates, and concentrate on more
indoor activities.
Efforts will be made to involve the School Board and Library, and it was suggested that
a partnership with Ontario Power Generation be explored.
In light of the success of the Orono Home Movie Night, it was decided to include a
screening of a local heritage film during Heritage Week 2014, and a partnership with the
local Cineplex Odean will be pursued.
The V.A.0 will look into reserving space in the library and /or the ground floor hallway of
the Municipal Administration Centre for Heritage Week Art displays. These will be
installed for the entire month of February.
Next Meeting: The next meeting will be held in August. Date TBD.

CBOT Tour - Don and Laura Wood from CBOT, provided invitations and an update on the
planning for a tour for Friday, April 12th. Arrangements have been finalized with the farms.
There are about 25 attending at this point. Looking forward to tomorrow.
CLOCA Stewardship Programs — Response received from Russ Powell, CAO at CLOCA was
circulated. Council has endorsed the resolution; it has yet to be discussed by CLOCA Board.
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington April 11 th 2013
Terms of Membership — Council approved the resolution. The intention is to implement
after the next election when appointments are made, half would be for 2 years and the
other half for 4 years and then appointments would be made mid -term.
Species at Risk — the representatives from MNR were invited but they wanted it to be
clear to the committee that they have no input on the policy discussion, formulation or
direction. They are the researchers; they would not be able to attend the June meeting.
Committee determined that it would be more beneficial to speak to the policy writers.
Revisions to the Pet By -law - there had been some concern that the role of working
dogs had not been accurately captured. Working dogs are the same as employees but
they stay with the herd /flock 24/7. Faye checked with Anne Greentree and let the
committee members know that this had been addressed in the by -law.

Other Business
1) Natural Heritage Systems Discussion Paper for the Official Plan Review was issued
on April 8th, also issued was the Parks, Open Space and Trails Discussion Paper.
Faye distributed the public information session notices and encouraged all to attend.
The impact of the Natural Heritage System (NHS) is that in the valleys and where
natural features exist the system has been more accurately mapped in the rural
areas, in the urban areas it better defines what is developable and what is not. The
map that Faye had to display the system makes it obvious where the Long Sault and
Ganaraska Forests are, Enniskillen valley and Lake Iroquois Shoreline (many of the
PSW's are in this location). MNR will be at two of the Public Information Sessions,
the NHS includes all the PSW's and ANSI's that have been determined by MNR and
provided to Clarington. These features were protected through policy but not as
accurately mapped in the 1996 Official Plan. As we move to next steps it will be
important to determine how the NHS will be shown in the Rural area because of the
policies of the Greenbelt that protect agriculture.
2) Countryside Discussion Paper can now be'completed as it fits together with the NHS.
The paper will include a discussion on Secondary-. ses; however the proposed
changes to the PPS define accessory and 'secondary uses as being agriculture -
related. In the past committee ,,has always supported this definition and when
Clarington submitted comments of th'e ,,PPS this w' asp „reflected in the comments.

DIRECTOR OF FINANCE — Nancy Taylor
The board had asked Nancy Taylor to attend meeting to talk to them on proper set up and working of sub
committees.
- to ensure committees are covered through Municipal Insurance main members need to be
documented in the minutes.
- Groups financial and minutes may be entered into minutes on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis.
- Strongly suggested hall board treasurer should be a signing authority if a separate bank account is
required. They do not need to sign all checks but should be on the bank records.
- Board will be committed to the financial well being of the sub committee i.e. responsible for debts
as well as surplus.
- Discuss how surplus will be used.
- For long term goals dollars can be invested — Municipality will do this for us if we wish.
- Operation Dept will be discussing sub committees at June meeting.
- See attached information "Rules of Procedure For Sub - Committees"
Thank you Nancy for taking the time to come and answer our questions on the above procedures.
DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS — Fred Horvath
The board asked Fred Horvath to attend meeting to discuss feasibility of Air Conditioning.
- Discussed A/C options i.e. just the main hall or whole building. Board agreed just the main hall.
- There would be the capital cost as well as ongoing operating costs.
- Energy audit has been done so could be used to assist with investigating options
- Engage engineering company to look at scope of work i.e. electrical to support A/C
- No cost for first quote on scope of work.
- Could cost between 10 to 15 thousand dollars.
- Some challenges would be the kitchen heat, suppression system in kitchen, windows on both sides
of building.
- Operating costs could increase from 15,000 to 20,000
- Where to put unit — on kitchen roof? Rood would need to be reinforced.
- If we are considering upgrades to kitchen should wait to do at the same time.
- Operations Dept has some work to do on roof so all could be incorporated at same time.
Digitize the system for cost saving
Could current fans be used or should they be removed?
Ceiling fans? Would this take away from the aesthetics of the room
Raising funds — fundraising, trillium grant, municipality
Operations Dept will have a site meeting with prospective consulting firm to look at all options for
cooling building. Time line April 2013 — bring forward to Direction in June 2013.
LADDERS
- Operations Dept inspected ladders in building — all our ladders have tagged as not suitable

That minutes of January 2013 be accepted as presented. "Carried"
BUSINESS ARISING
2.1 C. Abraham and G. Bell met with Tom Ujfalussay and members of the Lions Club to discuss
whether it would possible to have the Lions be the hall board's exclusive bartenders (see attached).
In the discussions it became apparent that the Lions were thinking of a set up much like what
COAA has with the Lions for bartending. They have exclusive access to bar room; alcohol and
mix are kept in the hall. C.Abraham has let Tom know that the hall board is not interested in this
type of set up. Members have agreed they would like to continue as we have — no alcohol or mix
is left in the building each client is responsible for bringing this in the day of their event. We are
looking for the Lions Club to do the bartending for each client not to necessarily run the bar room.
C. Abraham and G. Bell will continue to work with Lions to this end.
2.2 Councillor Woo met with receptionist at Apple Dentistry it is understood that the Hall Board does
not tell our clients to park anywhere but in our lot and the public parking spots. It is also noted
that our parking lot is used by clients using the strip mall on a regular basis. The strip mall has
now marked their apartment client's spots with signage. This should eliminate anyone causing
problems for their tenants in the future.
2.3 G. Bell has met with Geek Girl and started plans for website video. Lisa will be attending 3
events and filming throughout the building over the next few months. C. Abraham has
volunteered to star in the video.
2.4 The kitchen has had tiles put into all cupboards by Steve. Rona Hardware donated 3 boxes of tiles
for this project. Steve will purchase trim for flooring and cupboard handles from Rona. Thank
you letter to be sent to Rona
2.5 C. Abraham will coordinate moving of furniture for office.

Operations Dept.
NEW BUSINESS
8.1 Jennifer O'Meara from Clarington This Week would like to do story on NCH 90th Anniversary
this year. C. Abraham will contact her to set up interview.
8.2 Received financials and insurance from Bowling Association. Discussed future of bowling alley
i.e. Liberty Bowl teams would like to become part of this bowling alley. Secretary will look back
in minutes to report on the history of the bowling i.e. is this a sub committee or does the
association own the lanes.
8.3 C. Abraham brought up subject of board making decisions on email. Does not feel this is suitable
when not all members are on email and not everyone reads their email on a daily basis. When
issues arise as much as board would like to deal with them we are not obligated to make decisions
immediately. Board meets on monthly basis if issue arises with client they should be informed of
this and that their concerns will be addressed when board meets. There was further discussion but
a consensus was not reached.
8.4 Village Concerts have been booked with the exception of July 2 2013 as we have a paying client
using the auditorium for a free concert on this day. Board agreed Village Concert should be
cancelled for this evening as the doors may be open for this event.
8.5 Events Coordinator spoke with Mark Lathangue on Feb 12 2013, who has booked wedding for
Sept 14 2013. He was asking for paperwork for booking of Sept 13 for set up of his wedding.
Apparently, events coordinator had told him he could have this date via email conversation. He
had re- forwarded the emails but they have never reached our inbox. Normally, coordinator would
enter date into calendar and do up paperwork prior to deleting email. She does not have any
record of doing this. Unfortunately, the date of Sept 13 has been booked for another wedding so is
no longer available for set up. Coordinator apologized for this oversight and offered to give them
extra time the day of the set up and to bring items in to hall earlier in the week to be stored. Also
indicated that we have word ed with their decorator many times and there would no problem for
them to get decor done in the morning on the day of their wedding. Mark asked that fee for set up
of 180 chairs in gazebo be waived for error. At first coordinator said she could not do this, but in
second conversation asked Mark to "leave this with her" with the intent of referring to board at
Feb 19 meeting. On Feb 13 bride (not on our contract) contacted Councillor Partner with
complaint (see attached email). Mark followed up with phone call to Councillor Woo.
Motion by S. Rogers, seconded by S. DeJong
That Mark Lathangue wedding will have the fee for set up of 180 chairs in the gazebo
waived. Rehersal may be done on Thursday evening prior to wedding. Items for set up of
the wedding may be brought in on Thursday or Friday and stored in room upstairs. Hall
will be open 1 hour earlier 7 am on Saturday to give them more time for set up.
"Carried"
They would also like to return on Sunday to do clean up. No decision was made on this until we
know exactly what it is they would like to return for i.e. removal of d6cor can be arranged by our
office and decorator, alcohol and empties may not be left in the hall overnight.
8.6 Colin Rowe of Clarington Concert band has contacted office — would like to put on concert May
26 with proceeds going towards. fundraising campaign for hall. This could be incorporated into
our 901h anniversary. Payment to band of $400.00 would come out of ticket sales. Colin will take
care of promoting event via flyers and will do up tickets.
Motion by W. Woo, seconded by P. DeJong
That we work with Clarington Concert Band to put on concert May 26 2013.
"Carried"
8.7 Motion by B. Carmichael, seconded by P. DeJong
That contract for Hotel California be signed and deposit of $1695.00 be paid. Balance due
on day of concert. "Carried"
8.8 B. Carmichael asked that replacement of hall carpet be put on agenda for March.
8.9 W. Woo will contact D. Holmes for welding of chairs. We have 15 chairs with broken backs.
8.10 Events Coordinator reported between January 16 and February 16 she has shown the hall to 20
potential clients.

Figure 1: Location
3.1 The subject property was originally draft approved as a secondary school block which
the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board opted not to pursue. In 2007, the applicant
submitted Official Plan Amendment, Rezoning and Plan of Subdivision applications for
Draft Plan of Subdivision S -C- 2007 -0007. The plan of subdivision was approved in
October 2008 for 90 singles and a block for 66 townhouse units.
3.2 In July 2009, the applicant submitted a site plan application (SPA 2009 -0014) for the
townhouse block. The proposal consisted of 66 block townhouses with units fronting
onto Bloor Street and Meadowglade Road with garages at the rear of the units. It also
incorporated three amenity areas totalling 0.13 hectares, including a landscape feature
at the corner of Bloor Street and Meadowglade Road. The relevant departments and
agencies had completed their review of the application. Aside from minor revisions to
the Landscape Plan, all agencies were satisfied with the proposal and approval of the
application was imminent. The proposed townhouses were three storeys in height to a
maximum of 10.5 metres (see Attachment 15).
3.3 On September 7, 2011, Prestonvale Heights Limited submitted new applications to
amend Zoning By -law 84 -63 and Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision S -C -2007 -0007.
Through the public meeting report, staff identified concerns with the proposed revised
subdivision layout. In order to address urban design concerns identified by Staff, the
applicant submitted a revised plan, accompanied by an Official Plan Amendment
application on April 18, 2012.
3.4 The following chart illustrates the differences between the Draft Approved Plan of
Subdivision of October 2008 (Attachment 2) and the current proposal (Attachment 4).

Environmental Site Assessment were submitted in support of the current proposal.
The studies are summarized in Section 7 of this report.
4. PROVINCIAL POLICY
4.1 Provincial Policy Statement
4.1.1 The Provincial Policy Statement encourages planning authorities to create healthy
liveable and safe communities by accommodating an appropriate range and mix of
residential, employment, recreational and open space uses to meet long term needs.
4.1.2 New development in Settlement Areas 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.
4.1.3 Planning authorities are required to provide for a range of housing types and densities
with a ten year supply of lands which are designated. 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.
4.1.4 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.
r !
4.1.5 Transportation systems should be provided which are safe, energy efficient, facilitate
the movement of people and goods, and are appropriate to address projected needs.
A land use pattern, density and mix of uses should be provided that minimize the
length and number of vehicle trips and supports the development of viable choices and
plans for public transit.
4.1.6 The applications are consistent with the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement as a mix of
low and high,density housing is proposed. The subject lands are adjacent to the
existing built -up area and will make use of existing infrastructure and public service
facilities.
4.2 Provincial Growth Plan
4.2.1 The Provincial Growth Plan encourages municipalities to manage growth by directing
population growth to settlement areas. The subject lands are outside of the 'built
boundary' and are considered 'greenfield area'. Growth is to be accommodated by
building compact, transit - supportive communities in designated greenfield areas and
by reducing dependence on the automobile through the development of mixed use,
pedestrian - friendly environments. Growth shall also be directed to areas that offer
municipal water and wastewater systems.
4.2.2 Urban areas are encouraged to develop as complete communities with 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 definition of a complete
community states that it will meet "....people's needs for daily living throughout an
entire lifetime by providing convenient access to an appropriate mix of jobs, local
services, a full range of housing and community infrastructure including affordable
housing, schools, recreation and open space for their residents. Convenient access to
public transportation and options for safe, non - motorized travel is also provided."
4.2.3 The Provincial Growth Plan has set a minimum density target that is not less than 50
residents and jobs per hectare in the designated Greenfield areas.
4.2.4 Approval of the applications would meet the objectives of the Provincial Growth Plan.
5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan
The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the subject lands as Living Area within
the Durham Regional Official Plan. Lands designated as Living Area permit the
development of communities with defined boundaries, incorporating the widest
possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure to provide living accommodations
that address various socio- economic factors. Further, Living Areas shall be developed
in a compact form through higher densities and by intensifying and redeveloping
existing areas, particularly along arterial roads.
Regional Council shall support the review of development proposals currently in the
approval process, to encourage higher densities where appropriate and promote area
municipal official plans to maximize permissible densities for vacant lands.
Regional Official Plan Amendment 128 (Growing Durham), as approved on January 9,
2013 by the Ontario Municipal Board, has identified Bloor Street as a Regional
Corridor and Transit Spine. Corridors are to form the key connections between
Centres and are considered the main arteries of the Region's urban structure. They
provide for the movement of people and goods between the Centres to support their
vitality.
This designation was established to promote public transit ridership through well
designed developments that have a mix of uses at higher densities. Development
shall be sensitive to urban design considerations and shall be oriented to the corridor,
complemented by the consolidation of access points.
A long term density target of 60 residential units per gross hectare and a floor space
index of 2.4 are to be supported within the Regional Corridor. The built form should
include a wide variety of building forms, generally mid -rise in height with some higher
buildings.
The proposed uses conform to the Regional Official Plan and Amendment 128.
5.2 Clarinqton .Official Plan
In the Clarington Official Plan the subject lands are designated as Urban Residential
with a Medium Density Residential Symbol. The lands are within the Penfound
Neighbourhood, which has a population allocation of 3950 and a housing unit target of
1400, including 150 medium density units. The applicant is requesting to amend the
land use schedule to replace the medium density symbol with a high density symbol,
increase the population allocation to 4040, reduce the medium density units to 75 and
add 200 high density units.
Table 9 -1 from the Official Plan outlines the residential density standards. The
Medium Density designation would permit 4 storey low rise apartments within 100
metres of arterial /collector Road intersections. The proposal meets the criteria for
Medium Density with the exception of the Net Density. The proposal will exceed the
maximum net density criteria of 60 units.
Medium and high density residential development will be reviewed on the basis of the
following site development criteria:
The site is suitable in terms of size and shape to accommodate the proposed
density and building form;
The proposed development is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood in
terms of scale, massing, height, siting, setbacks, shadowing, and the location of
parking and amenity areas;
Adequate on -site parking, lighting, landscaping and amenity areas are provided;
and
The impact of traffic on local streets is minimized.
The Housing policies encourage a minimum of 30% of all new housing to be
affordable. Affordable housing means that annual housing costs do not exceed 30%
of the gross annual household income for households of low or moderate income
levels.
The Official Plan seeks to achieve a mix of housing types within each of the urban
communities of Courtice, Bowmanville and Newcastle Village:
® 70% Detached and Semi - detached and similar housing forms;
® 20% Townhouses, walk -up apartments; and
® 10% Apartments.
The goals of the South -West Courtice Secondary Plan are to provide a residential
living environment that promotes a desirable quality of life and social interaction; and
to provide a broad range of housing to meet evolving needs of current and future
residents.
Clarington Official Plan Amendment 77, approved by Council on March 26, 2012,
introduced Urban Design policies for Corridors. The built form in part, is to be
designed to:
• Have buildings sited near the street line to contribute to a sense of enclosure and
a strong street edge;
• Locate main building entrances that are visible and directly accessible from the
public sidewalk of the main street;
• Enhance the built environment with attention to massing, building articulation,
architectural detail, the use of local materials and styles; and
• Enhance the pedestrian environment.
Policies for Sustainable Design have also been introduced which promote higher
densities to efficiently utilize existing infrastructure. Integration of transit into the early
stages of new development is also promoted.
The proposal generally conforms to the Clarington Official Plan with the exception of
those items which are the subject of the application.
6.1 Within the Comprehensive Zoning By -law 84 -63, as amended, the lands are zoned a
mix of residential zones to implement the 2008 Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision. A
Zoning By -law amendment is required in order to implement the proposed amendment
to draft approval
-• -
7.1 Planning Justification Report
Prepared by Sernas Associates, the Planning Justification Report states that the
proposed development will have a high quality appearance facing Bloor Street,
Prestonvale Road, Meadowglade Road, and the internal streets. The buildings will be
paired with shared underground parking which allows for generous landscaping in the
front, back and many of the sides of the buildings.
The height and -form of the proposed apartment buildings would be classified as
Medium Density. However, because the development utilizes below grade parking,
the unit yield per hectare is higher than the maximum 60 units per hectare for medium
density. The proposed net density is 90 units per hectare.
The proposal will introduce high density units to the Penfound Neighbourhood. The
apartment blocks will contain amenity areas in each block. Public walkways will
connect the balance of the development to the intersections at Bloor and
Meadowglade and Bloor and Prestonvale. The outdoor amenity area proposed is 22.3
m2 /unit which exceeds the Amenity Guideline requirements of 4m2 /unit. The
guidelines recommend 2 m2 /unit of indoor amenity area although none is provided due
to the size of each building and their unique design.
The front doors of the apartment buildings will be connected to the sidewalk via short
walkways similar to a single detached home, creating a pedestrian oriented
environment (see Attachments 13 and 14).
7.2 Noise Impact Study Update
Prepared by YCA Engineering Limited, the Noise Impact Study Update recommends
1.8 metre barriers for Lot 1, the Amenity Nodes within Blocks 60, 61 and 62 and for the
Central Parkette between Blocks 61 and 62. A combination of noise fencing, berms
and alternative "living wall" construction is proposed.
Air conditioning will be required for the south unit in Block 60 and for all units within
Blocks 61 and 62. Provisions for air conditioning will be required for lots 1, 20, 21,
remaining units in Block 60 and for all units within Block 63,
7.3 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
Prepared by Golder Associates, the Phase I Environmental Site-Assessment
concluded that there are no issues of potential environmental concerns with the
subject lands.
7.4 Traffic Impact Study
GHD submitted a Traffic Impact Study in October 2012 and subsequent revision in
December 2012 to address comments from the Engineering Services Department,
The Traffic Impact Study provided the following conclusions and recommendations:
During the weekday am and weekday pm peak hours, the proposed site traffic
can be accommodated by the abutting road network;
® Based on the results of the analysis, there are no current or future queuing
issues at the signalized intersections;
® The weekday pm peak hour of traffic does not coincide with the operating
hours of Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School and therefore it is unlikely that
commuter traffic will be negatively affected by the drop -off and pick -up of
students;
® It is possible that the weekday am peak hour of traffic may overlap with activity
at Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School due to the narrower margin of time
separating the peak hours of commuter and school traffic;
® Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School has instructed parents that students are
not to be dropped off at the school prior to 9:00 am. Education and
enforcement may be required to ensure compliance with this directive;
The school board is reviewing options such as, reducing the school population
and providing additional parking, to address the pick -up /drop -off congestion on
Meadowglade Road;
® Traffic generated from future development in the area is not related to the
current traffic issues resulting from the pick -up and drop -off activities at the
school;
® Based on the road network within the study area, traffic utilization of Cale
Road by drivers from the surrounding developments will not be an issue; and
® The projected future 2020 volumes for Meadowglade Road are 3,400 to 5,300
vehicles per day which is below or well within the lower limit of the Regions
criteria for a Type C Arterial roadway.
All intersections under current and future conditions will function at acceptable levels
with the exception of the eastbound left -turn movement at the intersection of
Prestonvale Road and Meadowglade Road. The study suggested that the Municipality
consider implementing higher levels of traffic control such as an all -way stop or
signalization.
•
8.1 A Public Meeting was held on May 28, 2012. Public Notice was given by mail to each
landowner within 120 metres of the subject property and a public meeting notice was
installed on the property in the centre of each street frontage.
8.2 A Public Information Centre (PIC) was held on November 29, 2012 at Faith United
Church. Notice for the PIC was mailed to landowners within 250 metres of the subject
property. The PIC was well attended by over forty residents.
8.3 A number of submissions have been received by the Planning Services Department,
including written comments collected at the PIC on November 29, 2012. Below is a
summary of the main concerns:
Traffic and Safety at Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School
® Traffic congestion in general, and specifically within the area surrounding Dr. G.J.
MacGillivray Public School will be made worse by an increased population.
-4
• Construction will make the roads unsafe for kids and /or traffic. Where will
construction workers park? They are currently double parking on Partner Drive
and sometimes blocking the street to hold conversations.
• Concerned with young children's safety crossing Bloor Street to get to school and
Rosswell Park. Bloor Street will be busier with 261 additional units.
• Not enough enforcement of parking on local streets and student drop -off at Dr.
G:J. MacGillvray Public School.
• School Board should buy the parcel for expansion and additional parking.
School Overcrowding
• Dr. G.J. MacGillivray is already overcrowded, adding more population to the area
will only worsen situation at the school.
• Questioned population statistics and the number of students projected to be
generated by the development.
Parking
• Concerned that 1.25 parking spaces per apartment unit is not adequate in an
area without good transit. Little arrangement for street level parking.
• Most single car garage homes cannot park two vehicles in their driveways and
garages leaving one on the street most of the time. The one on the street will fill
up with spaces for visitors.
Desiqn
• Apartments do not "mesh" or are "inconsistent" with the current neighbourhood.
• Expected a suburban or hamlet environment over an urbanized "City"
environment.
• General appearance of the development is unappealing, "Looks like a fortress."
Amenities and Transit
® Prefer a high school or open space / park to develop on the site.
Area is not readily accessible without a personal vehicle. Transit only runs at
peak times. Proposal would be better for Bloor and Townline, or Trulls Road and
Highway 2, where commercial area and better transit is available.
® There are no grocery stores, banks or medical offices within walking distance.
® Taxes should be spent on building more community services in the
neighbourhood.
® There are not enough parks north of Bloor Street.
Property Values and Standards
• Property values of surrounding residential area will be impacted negatively by the
construction of apartments.
• Lower quality of homes will attract crime and vandalism.
• Residents in high density developments are less likely to care about the
appearance of their dwellings.
• Concerned that even though the applicant is proposing to market the apartments
as condominiums they will become rental units or a social housing project.
Other
• Notification of the application was inadequate, The 120 metre radius is not far
enough to notify all who will be impacted by this development, Notification signs
on site were not noticeable or believed to be missing,
• The developer doesn't care about the community. They will make their money
and leave.
• Concerned that if this is approved, what would stop applicant from pursuing even
higher density in future.
• Safety concern with the proposed walkway onto school property from the
development,
8.4 The following comments were also received in support of the proposal:
• Prefer the current proposal over the previously approved plan, provided the
apartments will be'condominiums.
• A resident expressed interest in the proposed condominiums as she wishes to
downsize in the near future and would like a smaller unit within the community
she lives in.
One resident indicated a preference of one 10 storey high rise surrounded by more
green space over the proposed 16 three storey buildings.
8,5 A petition was submitted on May 29, 2012 with 715 signatures in opposition to the
proposed amendment from medium density to high density residential.
9. AGENCY COMMENTS
9.1 Rogers Cable Communications Inc., Bell and Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. have no
objections to the proposal. Conditions requested by the utility companies have been
included in Conditions of Draft Approval.
9.2 On May 24, 2012, the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board advised that the
proposal will generate up to 19 elementary students for Dr. G, J. MacGillvray Public
School and up to 12 secondary students to Courtice Secondary School.
Minor and Major overland stormwater drainage flows from the subject draft plan are to
be self- contained and are not to enter the adjoining elementary school site,
The existing 1.8 metre high galvanized chain link fence around the elementary school
site is not to be altered or removed prior to, during and post any construction of the
subject subdivision,
In consideration of the number of units proposed, the Municipality of Clarington should
investigate proposed traffic levels, turning movements and peak times and if
necessary require traffic control sign(s) and /or traffic calming measures at the
proposed intersection of Meadowglade Road /Partner Drive /Cale Avenue and along
Meadowglade Road. Meadowglade Road has:
17 -yeltm
A curvilinear design with four existing street intersections between Prestonvale
Road and Bloor Street;
A signed student crossing at Meadowglade Road and Robert Adams Drive; and
Dr. G. J. MacGillivray Public School is our largest elementary school in terms of
enrolment (2011/2012 Average Daily Enrolment is 777.25, and is projected to
increase in enrolment).
In December 2012, Superintendent Shelly Roy had discussions with Municipality of
Clarington staff indicating that a walkway connection from Cale Avenue to the school
was supported, provided,the walkway was dedicated to the Municipality. Board staff
agreed that any pedestrian path changes to the existing Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public
School site to connect any municipally owned walkway block to the school building
would be implemented by the Board. The Board does not object to the walkway.
Further comments were provided on January 16, 2013 indicating that the proposed
easement shared by Lots 7 and 8 for stormwater purposes is acceptable. The School
Board requested the Municipality of Clarington to financially secure for the cleaning of
the storm system alongside the proposed development on Dr. G. J. MacGillivray Public
School lands.
9.3 The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority ( CLOCA) have no objections to the
proposed revisions. CLOCA conditions of draft approval from October 2008 remain
applicable.
9.4 The Region of Durham Planning Department advised that the proposed amendment to
the Clarington Official Plan would be permitted by the policies of the Regional Official
Plan as the proposal promotes higher densities and is consistent with the
intensification and transit oriented development policies. The Region of Durham
Works Department does not have any objection to the further processing of the
applications.
The application has been screened in accordance with the terms of the provincial plan
review responsibilities. The following issues are applicable:
A Noise Impact Study — Update was submitted by YCA Engineering Ltd. in
relation to this revised proposal. Appropriate attenuation measures (1.8m high
barriers) are recommended for amenity areas and a central parkette along Bloor
Street and'along the side and rear of proposed Lot 1 adjacent to Meadowglade
Road. Appropriate warning clauses are recommended to make future occupants
aware of the potential noise situation in the affected Outdoor Living and Amenity
Areas and Parkette. Also, appropriate warning clauses are recommended with
respect to the ventilation requirements for Indoor Noise for the affected units.
The Subdivision Agreement prepared for the related draft approved plan of
subdivision should contain the appropriate provisions to ensure that the
recommendations and the warning clauses of the Update are implemented;
A Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment was prepared by Golder Associates.
The assessment indicated that there are no potential sources of environmental
contamination in association with the site; and
•' �, �,
® Any issues concerning stormwater management, grading and servicing are to be
addressed to the satisfaction of the Conservation Authority.
Municipal services are available. Previous conditions with respect to water supply and
sanitary sewer service on the related draft approved plan of subdivision are still
applicable.
The proposed development does not present any significant impacts on Durham
Region Transit.
The application is considered to have no significant Regional or Provincial concerns.
In accordance with Regional By -law 11 -2000, this application is exempt from Regional
approval.
• z.,
10.1 Clarington Emergency and Fire Services, Clarington Operations and the Clarington
Building Division have no concerns or objections with the proposed application.
Should the application be approved, detailed comments relating to the high density
blocks will be forwarded to the applicant to address through a subsequent site plan
application.
10.2 Clarington Engineering Services have no objections with the applications. The
applicant has submitted a Traffic Impact Study, Parking Plan, Grading and Drainage
Plans, and a stormwater management brief to address previous concerns.
The Traffic Impact Study has been peer reviewed and accepted by an independent
Traffic Consultant on behalf of the Engineering Services Department. The Municipality
will be pro - active in the spring of 2013 by installing an all -way stop control at the
intersection of Prestonvale Road and Meadowglade Road,
11. DISCUSSION
11.1 The applicant has prepared additional details on the proposal to address planning
related residents concerns. A review of the concerns and how they have been
addressed by staff and the applicant are outlined in Section 11.2 to 11.8 below.
11.2 Traffic and Safety at Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Pubic School
Neighbourhood concerns with traffic congestion associated with Dr. G.J. MacGillivray
Public School, which is the largest school in the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board
system, were apparent prior to this application. Municipal staff have met with the
Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board to discuss potential solutions. This included adding
lands from the proposed development to reconfigure on -site parking and /or student
pick -up and drop -off. Unfortunately the School Board does not have the funds to
develop an on -site solution for the number of vehicles dropping off and picking up
children from school. It should be noted that school parking lots are designed for
employees and some visitors, although the school has retrofitted an area for a kiss and
ride. Busing is provided for students living a prescribed distance from the school,
while the School Board considers the balance of the student population to be,walkers.
The School Board has advised that they have no jurisdiction to deal with traffic
congestion issues that occur on the roadway, which is municipal property. However,
they are prepared to assist the Municipality by educating students and parents about
safe crossing protocols. The Dr. G.J. MacGillivray monthly newsletter regularly
contains articles informing parents as to the expectations for dropping off and picking
up students both on site and on the street. Reminders to obey the traffic rules and to
respect the neighbours and crossing guards are present.
During discussions with Municipal staff, the School Board suggested introducing a
walkway between Lots 7 and 8 from the school grounds to Cale Avenue to alleviate
traffic congestion on Meadowglade Avenue. This will provide alternate access to the
school for pedestrians walking to the proposed development from the south and for
those choosing to drive students to the school. The future residents of Cale Avenue
will share some of the problems associated with school operations.
Although in 2008 the School Board had requested that a walkway to the school site not
be established due to safety concerns, they are now open to its inclusion. The School
Board advised that they will implement on -site pedestrian path changes to the existing
Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School site to connect any municipality owned walkway
block to the school building. The School Board will be responsible for safety on their
school site.
The proposed walkway is 6 metres in width to accommodate a 3 metre wide walkway
and enhanced plantings and fencing between the walkway and the residential area.
Municipal Staff, through the Engineering Services Department, will be conducting a
Public Information Centre in late spring of this year with respect to concerns and
suggestions around the drop -off and pick -up of students at Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public
School.
11.3 Traffic Impacts of Proposal
The Traffic Impact Study concluded that traffic from the development can be
accommodated by the existing road network. It indicated that traffic from existing and
future developments is not related to current traffic issues surrounding the school.
Projected volumes for Meadowglade Avenue are well within the lower limits for a Type
C Arterial Road. There may be some overlap of morning commuter traffic and morning
student drop -off.
11.4 Parking for Garden Flats and On- Street Parking
Zoning By -law 84 -63 requires 29 parking spaces for each pair of buildings, with eight
pairs proposed, 232 spaces are required in total. The Planning Services Department
typically requests an additional 0.25 spaces for visitors per unit, adding an additional 6
spaces for each pair and 48 spaces in total. Six surface parking spaces are available
for visitors at each pair, two in front of each amenity node and four at the entrance of
the underground parking area. There are 240 spaces for occupants, 15 spaces under
each 12 unit building.
The Engineering Services Department requires one on- street parking space for every
four single and semi detached units. Eighteen on street spaces are required for the
development while the applicant has illustrated 36 are available, doubling. the
requirement (see Attachment 7). Typical Subdivision Agreements require developers
to include a clause in the agreement of Purchase and Sale that sets out the
Municipality's Traffic By -law 91 -58 pertaining to on- street parking.
11.5 School Overcrowding
The School Board has advised that the proposed development will add up to 19
students to Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School, The School Board will be
implementing program changes at the school which includes relocating grade 7 and 8
students to Courtice Secondary School in September 2013. Although this will reduce
the capacity of the school, it will still be overcrowded necessitating portables. The
School Board is undertaking a review of the boundaries for Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public
School.
11.6 Design
Many residents expressed a concern that the development would appear as a fortress.
To address this concern the applicant prepared streetscape views for Prestonvale
Road and Meadowglade Road which depicts the 2008 approved plan compared with
the current proposal (Attachments 13 and 14).
As depicted in the Meadowglade streetscape view, the proposed garden flat
apartments have a similar height to the previously proposed block townhouses. There
is 12.2 metres between the proposed buildings where the townhouse blocks depict a
maximum of 3.24 metres. The previously approved single detached homes on
Prestonvale Road had a separation between dwellings of 1.2 metres on one side and
2.4 metres on the other. Although the building mass is larger than the singles, it is
smaller than the townhouses. In addition, the current proposal provides more
landscaped open space between buildings which will help minimize the appearance of
an enclosed streetscape.
The applicant has enhanced the elevations of the Garden Flats by providing three (3)
different models (see Attachment 6). The applicant intends to provide variations of
materials, colours and elements such as roof lines, windows and architectural details
to ensure a varied streetscape. The proposed elevations compliment the architecture
of the neighbourhood.

11.7 Amenities and Transit
The site is located within two Durham Transit Bus routes which operate at peak times.
One route travels to Highway 2 between Courtice Road and Townline Road which
provides access to a number of commercial uses. The other route travels along Bloor
Street and accesses the GO Train Stations in Oshawa and Whitby. The Region has
designated Bloor Street as a Regional Corridor and Transit Spine. Most of the Corridor
is not serviced with transit at this time, however, this will improve as development
continues.
The Clarington Official Plan establishes a park system, comprised of District Parks,
Community Parks, Neighbourhood Parks and Hamlet Parks. The neighbourhood
parks in the area meet the established standard for the amount of parkland required.
There are a number of parks both north and south of Bloor Street (see Attachment 8).
There is a commercial plaza located directly to the south of the subject lands which is
zoned to permit a wide range of commercial uses such as restaurants, retail, office,
medical and dental, personal service uses, laundry mat and dry cleaning distribution.
The plaza is occupied with a convenience store, dental office and optometrist. Two
units are remaining to be leased. As the area matures, additional commercial uses are
anticipated along the Bloor Street corridor.
11.8 Property Values and Standards
Planning recommendations are based on the principles established by provincial,
regional and local policies. Analysis is focused on compatibility of the built
environment and land uses. Speculation on the value of properties or character of
future residents is not a land use issue. The Municipality has Property Standards By-
law 2007 -070 which established maintenance standards for all properties within the
Municipality, including higher density developments.
11.9 Planning Comments
The applicant has submitted the current proposal, in part, to address staff concerns
with the 2011 proposal (Attachment 3) compared with the 2008 Draft Approved Plan
(Attachment 2) which were:
Increased infrastructure with fewer housing units. The road network increased by
an additional 383 metres while the unit count dropped by 10;
Addition of a window street parallel to Bloor Street would set back the housing
from the arterial street and would act as a primary visitor parking area leading to
a less attractive street edge; and
2.1 metre high noise fence with a 0.3 metre berm for units flanking Bloor Street.
_ 1
The current proposal addresses the above by:
® The road network increases in length over the 2008 Draft Approved Plan due to
the deletion of the block townhouses but has decreased by 204 metres from the
2011 proposal.
® Removal of the Window Street and provision of a built form that addresses the
streets on all sides of the development.
® The siting of the proposed 3 storey, 12 unit garden flats has allowed for a
reduction in the height of the noise barriers. There is no need for a barrier at the
corner of Bloor and Meadowglade. This area is now open for a landscaped
Amenity Area. The applicant is proposing to incorporate a living wall into the
required noise barriers which will add to the landscape elements (See
Attachment 5).
11.10 The Corridor polices of the Durham Region Official Plan support an overall, long -term
density target of at least 60 residential units per gross hectare and a floor space index
of 2.5. The proposed garden flat high density blocks achieve a density of 74 units per
gross hectare and a floor space index of 0.93. The overall plan achieves a density of
39 units per gross hectare.
The proposed plan supports the density objectives of the Provincial Policy Statement,
the Growth Plan and the Regional Official Plan. Developments that support higher
densities are encouraged in appropriate locations in order to develop communities that
are both pedestrian and transit oriented. The proposed plan will increase the
population by 111 persons from what was approved in 2008.
11.11 The Clarington Official Plan has been amended through OPA 77 to introduce Urban
Design 'Policies for Corridors. The proposal has adhered to these policies by:
Siting the buildings close to the street edge; and
Providing public walkways through the apartment blocks to provide pedestrian
access to the internal lots. ,
Staff met with the applicant in July to discuss the Urban Design policies and provided
the following comments:
• Ensure massing and heights are compatible with the existing community;
• Lower the apparent height through the use of design elements;
• Provide pedestrian connectivity and a generous central amenity area;
• Consider covered parking area and utilize the top for private amenity areas
(decks, gardens); and
• Design the facade with similar rhythm and proportions to the existing community.
The applicant has considered these comments in the refinement of their elevations
(see Attachment 6). The comments will continue to be considered during the review of
a future site plan application for the High Density Blocks should the Official Plan
Amendment and Rezoning be approved.
REPORT NO.: PSD- 022 -13 PAGE 19
11.12 The Residential Density Standards contained in Table 9 -1 of the Clarington Official
Plan permits low rise apartments up to 4 storeys in height within the Medium Density
Designation, Low rise apartments are permitted, provided the net density does not
exceed 60 units per net hectare. The current application accommodates 90 units per
net hectare. The higher density can be attributed to the efficient use of space through
the provision of underground parking. If surface parking was provided instead the
garden flats would comply with the medium density residential designation. Low rise
apartments within the Medium Density Designation are encouraged to locate within
100 metres of arterial /collector road intersections. Both Meadowglade Road and
Bloor Street are Arterial Roads, while Prestonvale Road is a Collector.
11.13 Complete communities have a variety of housing choices to accommodate their
diverse population base. Traditionally, Courtice's residential development has been
predominantly composed of single and semi - detached homes. A shift is underway to
create more diverse neighbourhoods that provide a range of housing choices at
varying levels of affordability, tenure and amenity. With an aging population,
Clarington will need to accommodate developments suitable for seniors.
The Official Plan has encouraged the provision of a diverse housing stock in terms of
type, tenure, density and cost to meet the need of all residents. To achieve this, a mix
of housing types has been targeted within each urban community. ,
In the last ten years, 412 apartments were built in Clarington. Only eight of those units
were constructed in Courtice. These units were constructed above the plaza located
at 15 Roswell Drive, immediately to the south of the subject lands. Courtice is
significantly lagging in the provision of apartment units, given the rapid growth it has
experienced,
The applicant has developed the mixed use project on Roswell Drive. The two
bedroom units are similar in size to the units proposed on the subject lands. The units
currently rent for a minimum of $1,350.00 per month.
As noted in Section 5.2, the Clarington Official Plan encourages a minimum of 30% of
all new housing to be affordable. Affordable housing would not exceed 30% of the
gross'annual household income for households of. low or moderate income levels. The
Durham Housing Review Background Report (May 2011) indicated that according to
the 2006 Statistics Canada Census, the income threshold for low or moderate income
renter households is $43,031. Based on this income level, an affordable monthly rent
or mortgage payment (including taxes) would be $1,076.00. It is unlikely that the
proposed units would be considered "affordable" based on the above criteria.
11.14 The Municipality of Clarington "Amenity Guidelines for Medium and High Density
Residences" requires 4m of outdoor amenity area per dwelling unit. The High Density
blocks will require a total of 768M2, which is exceeded by the East, West and Central
Parkette areas (see Attachment 5). An addendum to the Noise Study may be required
as part of the Site Plan Approval for the High Density Blocks to ensure the appropriate
mitigation measures are in place for the final layout of the amenity areas.
NEPORT _ - _1V
11.15 Originally the subject land was approved as a Secondary School Block as part of Plan
of Subdivision 18T- 95026. The conditions of approval for this subdivision required the
owner to contribute five per cent of the value of the land proposed for development in
lieu of parkland dedication. The conditions also required the applicant to contribute to
the construction of Rosswell Park which was not considered part of the parkland
contribution.
The Clarington Official Plan requires either five per cent of the land, or 1 hectare for
every 300 dwelling units, or an appropriate cash contribution in lieu of the land.
Originally the applicant was required to contribute the value of 1.06 hectare. As the
proposal will add 261 units to the 232 units already approved, the requirement for
parkland would be 1.64 hectares, a difference of 0.58 hectares cash in lieu of
parkland.
11.16 The applicant has provided concurrence with the attached Conditions of Draft
Approval
11.17 All taxes payable to the Municipality of Clarington have been paid in full.
12. CONCURRENCE — Not Applicable
13. CONCLUSION
13.1 The proposal for amendments to Prestonvale Heights Limited draft approved plan of
subdivision provides for a new housing type for Clarington. The garden flat units are a
new way to deliver higher densities required by current planning policies in a modest
three- storey format. This may be one of the more effective ways for Clarington to
control sprawl and develop transit- supportive, walkable communities. The lands are
located adjacent to or near a regional corridor that will develop incrementally over time.
13.2 Many of the existing traffic issues in this area are due to Dr. G.J. McGillivray School
running at excess capacity. There are currently 11 portables on -site with plans to add
a two room addition to implement full -day kindergarten in 2014. The School provides
both the regular and French Immersion programs. The French Immersion program is
popular and accounts for the majority of the students at the school drawing from a
large catchment area. There is no significant difference between the existing
approved draft plan of subdivision and the proposed revisions on this issue. Solutions
are currently being implemented or considered to mitigate some of traffic issues in this
area.
13.3 In consideration of the findings of all supporting studies, comments received from
circulated agencies and area residents, and based on review of the proposal, staff
recommends that the proposed Clarington Official Plan Amendment (Attachment 9),
Zoning By -law (Attachment 11) and Conditions of Draft Approval (Attachment 12) be
approved.

DELEGATIONS
See Final list of delegations attached.
CORRESPONDENCE
D - 13 Sustainable Clarington Community Advisory Committee advising Council that on
April 18, 2013, the Committee adopted the following resolution:
"THAT the Committee advise Council that it should add to the Committee two
youth members who are residents of Clarington, one attending a school of the
Public School Board and one attending a school of the Catholic Separate School
Board."
(Motion for Direction)
D - 14 Victoria Ryszkowski expressing concern with the proposed high- density zoning for
Prestonvale Heights as the area cannot handle the increased density as traffic and
congestion is already a major issue, there is insufficient parking and overcrowding
at the local elementary school, the design of the three - storey units does not
complement the existing residential neighbourhood, currently there is insufficient
parkland and open space for residents to enjoy and the increase in population
could increase crime; and, urging Council to represent the best interests of the
area families and make the right decision.
(Motion to advise of actions taken with
respect to Item 1 of Unfinished Business —

area of Bloor Street, Prestonvale Road and Meadowglade Road as he feels the
apartment buildings do not fit with the existing landscape of the community of
families who take pride of ownership in their homes and surroundings and
suggesting that there are many other locations that would be better suited for the
development.
(Motion to advise of actions taken with
respect to Item 1 of Unfinished Business —
Report PSD- 022 -13)
D - 16 Chris Barnett, Davis LLP, Legal Advisor on behalf of Prestonvale Heights Limited,
responding to issues raised by members of the community regarding the
applications for Official Plan and Zoning By -law Amendments and Draft Approved
Plan of Subdivision with respect to insufficient parkland, clarifying the definition of
"high- density" development, reviewing architectural /urban design issues with
respect to building elevation and siting, confirming as per the updated Traffic
Impact Study, that the existing road network can accommodate the traffic
generated by the proposal, including a provision of a pedestrian walkway
connecting the proposed plan and Dr. G. J. MacGillivray Public School, and that
the proposed development exceeds the Municipality's parking requirements;
proposing a new proposal on a "Without Prejudice" basis in an effort to respond to
issues raised; and, indicating Prestonvale has worked hard to listen to the
concerns of members of Council, the community and staff noting the without
prejudice revision represents the results of consultation and compromise; and,
hoping that Council will support it.

CORRESPONDENCE
w
D - 17 Ed Morton, advising his property in Kendal has been selected to have turbines as
part of the proposed 20 megawatt project; acknowledging that Council has been
hearing opposition from Ontario Wind Resistance and are considering making
Clarington a "not willing" host community; indicating that he is in favour of the
project but has not spoken out as he is not a representative of the
deve lope rloperator and does not have the expertise to answer concerns; and,
urging Council to take time to meet with a company representative to hear the
facts as he feels the Ontario Wind Resistance has been giving out misleading
information.
(Motion to advise of actions taken with
respect to Correspondence Item D - 8)
D - 18 Carl and Karen Lowery, host landowner, Ganaraska Wind Farm, advising Council
that the Clarington Wind Concerns group does not represent the majority of
Clarington residents, expressing concern that the opposition to industrial wind
turbines is based on either false or lack of information as it pertains to the
Ganaraska Wind Farm project largely propagated by the Clarington Wind
Concerns group; advising they are pro wind generation from both an
environmental and economic standpoint and that research done by Dr. Suzuki and
his resources have proven them to be one of the safest and environmentally forms
of green power generation based on present -day technology; and, suggesting that
saying no to this type of investment would be a detrimental to all in Clarington.

respect to Correspondence Item D - 8)
