CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T 905 - 623 -3379 REPORT NO.: PSD-036-13 --PAGE 2 Submitted by4a d J. Cro e, MCIP, P it ctor of P anning Services BW /CP /df 14 May 2013 Reviewed by: Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer REPORT NO.: D 1.1 Applicant: 2055979 Ontario Inc. 1.2 Agent: Ken Hoy, Stonefield Homes 1.3 Proposal: To permit the re- zoning of a portion of the lands located at the east limits of 3233 & 3191 Courtice Road from Agricultural "A" to "Holding Urban Residential Exception (H)R2 -18" to allow for the completion of four residential lots that were partially created through subdivision and are shown in Plan 40M -2364, identified as Blocks 96 -99, and to remove the (H) Holding Symbol from the lands once all conditions contained in the related consent applications have been met. 1.4 Area: 0.26 hectares (0.64 acres) 1.5 Location: The lands subject to this application are located on the west side of Harry Gay Drive south of the George Reynolds Drive extension. 2.1 In February 2013, 2055979 Ontario Inc. applied to amend the Zoning By -law to allow four residential lots to be created and, to remove a holding symbol on the lands to allow development to occur. 2.2 In 2007, a plan of subdivision created the existing residential lots along Harry Gay Drive and George Reynolds Drive. In addition to the existing residential lots, Blocks 96 to 99 inclusive were created fronting on the west side of Harry Gay Drive. The blocks were zoned (H)R2 -18. The intent was to allow for the future creation of four residential lots when additional lands to the west could be acquired and to ensure development could occur without any negative impacts. 2.3 In February 2013, the applicant submitted consent applications (LD2013 -073 to LD2013 -077 inclusive) to the Durham Region Land Division Committee. On April 15tH the Committee granted conditional approvals to convey lands from 3233 & 3191 Courtice Road to meld with Blocks 96 -99 to allow the creation of four, 12.0 metre frontage lots, fronting on the west side of Harry Gay Drive. The lands being conveyed to Blocks 96 -99 are currently zoned Agricultural "A ". 2.4 During the review of the original draft plan of subdivision, approved in 1997, an Environmental Impact Study was prepared which supported the creation of the lotting pattern, including the four lots subject to this application. During the review of the Hancock Neighbourhood Design Plan amendment, staff, CLOC and the EIS consultant reconfirmed that four residential lots will not negatively impact any Natural Heritage Feature including the Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) to the west of the subject lands. REPORT • -1 3.1 The subject lands are located at the south -west intersection of Harry Gay Drive and future extension of George Reynolds Drive to the west. The lands are currently vacant. In the previous months trees, which occupied mainly the lands being conveyed to Blocks 96 -99, have been removed with the approval of CLOCA and the Region of Durham.

PROVINCIAL POLICY 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement The Provincial Policy Statement promotes the efficient use of land that minimizes land consumption and the development of land within settlement areas that is compatible with the existing character of the neighbourhood and makes efficient use of existing infrastructure. Natural features, surface water and ground water features shall be protected. The application conforms with the Provincial Policy Statement. :_ REPORT NO.: r ._ 4.2 Provincial Growth Plan The policies of the Provincial Growth Plan promote the creation of compact, complete communities that are transit - supportive and pedestrian - friendly. Part of the intent of the Growth Plan is to manage growth in a manner that will optimize existing infrastructure. This application conforms with the policies of the Provincial Growth Plan. 111111111119 1 Y. a c . 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the lands as "Living Areas ", which shall be used predominately for housing purposes. The proposed rezoning application is completing four residential lots within an existing residential area. This proposal conforms with the Durham Regional Official Plan. 5.2 Clarinqton Official Plan The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands Urban Residential — Low Density. The lands are located within the Hancock Neighbourhood. The lots that will be created as a result of the conditionally approved consent applications are consistent with the lots shown in the Hancock Neighbourhood Design Plan (NDP) that was recently revised and approved on April 17, 2013. The Clarington Official Plan recognizes the importance of natural heritage features and promotes the protection of natural heritage features and functions from incomputable development. Prior to development adjacent to a natural heritage feature an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) is required to determine potential impact, if any, the proposed development may have on the natural heritage feature, as well as mitigative measures. An EIS was conducted and submitted with the subdivision application that created the existing residential lots and Blocks 96 -99 along Harry Gay Drive. The four proposed lots, including the lands zoned "Agricultural (A)" were considered in the EIS during the review of the existing subdivision. No issues were identified with the development of the four lots. The EIS completed in support of the NDP did not identify any issues with the creation of the proposed four lots. This application conforms to the Clarington Official Plan. 6.1 Zoning By -law 84 -63 zones Blocks 96 -99 as "Holding - Urban Residential Exception (H)R2 -18 ". The Holding Symbol was placed on Blocks 96 -99 to ensure no development occurred on the lands prior to additional lands being acquired and ensuring development could occur without negative impacts. REPORT NO.: PSD-036-13 —PAGE 7 6.2 The lands that are being conveyed to Blocks 96 -99 as a result of the conditionally approved consent applications are zoned Agricultural "A" in Zoning By -law 84 -63. These portions of the new lots require rezoning to match the current "((H) R2 -28)" zoning of Blocks 96 -99. 7.1 Public notice was given by mail, 30 days prior to the public meeting, to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site and two public meeting notice signs were installed on the properties — one fronting on Harry Gay Drive and one fronting on Courtice Road. No one, other than the applicant, spoke at the Public Meeting. 7.2 One resident contacted the Planning Services Department identifying the following concerns: • Was told the lands were zoned green space and that no houses could be built on the subject lands. • Paid a premium to be located adjacent to green space where no houses were proposed. • Meetings are held during the day when people are at work. • Paid to have a fence installed that a neighbour will now be able to use without being compensated for. • The subdivision was labelled "Woodlands of Upper Courtice" but trees are being removed to accommodate houses. These comments are addressed in Section 9. 8.1 The Region of Durham Planning Department has no objections to the proposal. 8.2 The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority has no objection to the proposal but has indicated that removal of vegetation should be completed outside of bird breeding season which is typically between May 1St and July 31St 1 iii, 9.1 The proposed Zoning By -law Amendment conforms with all applicable Provincial policy, the policies of both the Durham Region Official Plan and the Clarington Official Plan, as well as the recently approved Hancock Neighbourhood Design Plan. 9.2 The Engineering Services Department has confirmed that they have no objection to the approval of this application. 9.3 Blocks 96 -99 were created when the existing residential lots along Harry Gay Drive were registered in 2007. An Environmental Impact Study was submitted and reviewed for potential impact on the adjacent natural heritage features and it was determined that the development, including these four lots, would not negatively impact the natural heritage features on the adjacent lands. In addition, through the update of the Hancock Neighbourhood Design Plan, undertaken in consultation with an environmental consultant and CLOCA, the proposed four residential lots were not identified to require additional review for any potential impact on the natural heritage features and the Provincially Significant Wetland on the adjacent lands to the west. 9.4 As part of the conditional Land Division Committee approvals, the applicant is required to adhere to conditions similar to those of the subdivision agreement which created the existing lots on Harry Gay Drive in 2007; including creating a package for future homeowners on the impact of living in the vicinity of a sensitive natural area. The trees on portions of the lots were cleared following conditional approval of the consent applications. Clearing of the trees and vegetation on the lands was completed approximately a month ago with permission from CLOCA and the Region of Durham in order to avoid clearing vegetation during bird breeding season commencing May 1. Municipal staff was advised of the clearing prior to it commencing. 9.5 Prior to draft approving the original subdivision application creating Harry Day Drive and George Reynolds Drive, the Municipality had approved a Neighbourhood Design Plan (NDP) for the Hancock Neighbourhood. The four proposed lots were identified south of George Reynolds as part of the NDP. At the time of Draft Approval four blocks were created providing what would form part of the four lots identified in the NDP. The four blocks together with additional lands, which the new owner has recently secured, now allows the completion of the four lots on the west side of Harry Gay Drive up to George Reynolds. Although staff cannot confirm what information was provided to the objecting neighbor about the subject lands, information on the configuration of the development and the future surrounding land uses, including the four lots was available from the Municipality when the existing lots on Harry Gay Drive were created. Since the original subdivision was created, the NDP for the Hancock Neighbourhood has been revised. During the revision to the NDP staff conducted Public Information Centers (PIC's) and provided newspaper and mailed notices to the area residents. The four proposed lots were not identified as a concern at that time. The Region of Durham did not receive any objections to the approval of the consents. The current rezoning has been submitted to address one of the conditions of approval. 9.6 The Land Division Committee conditional approvals were granted in April. The conditions are required to be completed before the lands are conveyed to Blocks 96- 99. It is recommended that the lands being conveyed to Blocks 96 -99 be zoned the same as the Blocks are currently zoned, including the Holding provision. Once the conditions of the Land Division Committee are complete and the lands are conveyed a by -law will be brought forward to Council authorizing the removal of the Holding. This will ensure that the Holding provision will not be removed prematurely, before development of the lands is appropriate. M. REPORT • PSD-036-13 .z 11.1 In order to allow for the development of four residential lots that are consistent with the Hancock Neighbourhood Design Plan it is necessary that the subject lands be rezoned to Holding Urban Residential Exception "(H)R2 -18 ". Once the conditions of the Consent applications are completed the removal of the Holding provision on the lands will take place. 11.2 Based on the comments in this report, it is recommended that the rezoning application submitted by 2055979 Ontario Inc. be approved, and that the'draft Zoning By -law Amendment, as contained in Attachment 2 to Report PSD- 036 -13, be passed. 11.3 The property taxes on the subject lands are current and up to date.

The preparation of the new Sign By -law was the result of an extensive public and stakeholder input process that included visual preference studies and examined specific areas of the Municipality that have special regulations such as the downtowns. 1.2 The Sign By -law is viewed as a living document subject to amendment when necessary much the same as the Zoning By -laws. As such, Planning Services staff have amended the by -law to address implementation issues as they have arisen. Individuals can request an amendment in response to site specific issues. 1.3 Planning Services Staff has recently undertaken a review of the Sign By -law in response to Clarington Council's approval of Official Plan Amendment (OPA) No. 77 and the Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan. 1.4 Section 5A.4.7 of the Urban Design Guidelines in OPA 77 relates to signage and indicates that signage is recognized as an integral component of good community design and image. Section 5A.4.7 further stipulates that signage shall: a) be designed and scaled to complement the built urban form and character, and will not dominate the streetscape; b) be incorporated into the building wherever possible; c) not unduly detract from the overall visual attractiveness of the built environment; and d) contribute to promote the image of special character areas such as historic downtowns. 1.5 The purpose of this report is to recommend an amendment to the Sign By -law of Schedules 1 and 2 as well as some housekeeping changes to definitions and wording. Schedule 1 defines the Heritage Resource Areas and Schedule 2 defines the Courtice West Shopping District. The proposed amendment will improve consistency, better reflect development types in the specific areas, as well as provide for more clarity. 2.1.1 Regulations for signage within Heritage Resource Areas of the Municipality were introduced in the preceding Sign By -law 97 -157. These include guidelines for signage materials and lighting. Signs within the heritage resource areas are not permitted to conceal significant architectural features and their design is to be in keeping with the heritage nature of the old commercial downtown cores. These regulations serve to protect Clarington's community identity. 2.1.2 The Newcastle Heritage Resource Area as currently defined in Schedule "1" includes the entire area of'the Newcastle Village Secondary Plan plus it extends to the east to include five residential properties including the Walbridge House; essentially it is the Community Improvement Plan (CIP) boundary. 8 -14 REPORT NO.: PS®- 037 -13 PAGE 3 2.1.3 The Newcastle Village Secondary Plan identifies two types of development contained within the area which are the historic downtown and more recent development to the east of the historic downtown. 2.1.4 Staff has reviewed the two types of development in this area and have determined that the area with more recent development begins at Newcastle Memorial Park on the north side of King Avenue and Foodland on the south side then extends eastward. This area has longer blocks and contains a number of auto - oriented amenities including a car wash, commercial plaza, and fuel stations. Buildings in the area are spaced farther apart and set back further from the property line. This area is also surrounded by newer residential development. k� FIGURE — Streetscape along eastern portion of King Avenue in Newcastle 2:1.5 The eastern area of Schedule "1" in the Sign By -law contains relatively few built heritage resources in comparison to the historic downtown to the west. The eastern area contains seven (7) heritage properties: four (4) properties of merit, one (1) primary property, one (1) secondary property, and one (1) designated property, the Walbridge House, on the eastern boundary of the area. 2.2 Comments 2.2.1 The eastern portion of the Newcastle Heritage Resource Area is not reflective of the older commercial downtown cores designated as Heritage Resource Areas in the Sign By -law. The heritage resource buildings are predominantly not commercial buildings. For the most part sites would redevelop with new buildings. 8 -15 REPORT NO.: PSD- 037 -13 PAGE 4 2.2.2 It is recommended that the eastern portion of the Newcastle Heritage Resource Area as currently defined in Schedule "1" of the Sign By -law be deleted such that all the regulations of the Sign By -law would apply except for the Heritage Resource Area restrictions. Commercial developments in this area will have more options for signage; thus it will limit the number of exceptions that might otherwise be sought as development occurs. 2.2.3 At a recent Newcastle CIP Implementation Group meeting the proposal was discussed with the group and they supported the recommended change. 2.3 Courtice West Shopping District 2.3.1 The Courtice West Shopping District is defined in Schedule "2" to Sign By -law 2009- 123 and is located along Durham Highway 2 in Courtice between Townline Road in the west and just beyond Darlington Boulevard in the east. 2.3.2 Upon Regional Council approval, the Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan will replace the Courtice West Shopping District Secondary Plan in the Clarington Official Plan. The boundaries of the West Gateway Precinct in the Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan extend farther eastward than those of the Courtice West Shopping District to encompass existing commercial development at Centrefield Drive and Durham Highway 2. 2.3.3 A primary intent of the Sign By -law for this district is to limit the erection of monolith/ pylon signs as there is an abundance of this type'of signage along this stretch of the Durham Highway 2 corridor (Figure 2). The restriction serves to encourage other types of signage such as ground signs (Figure 3) to diversify the streetscape in this area. FIGURE 2 — Monolith /pylon signs along Highway 2 in Courtice Film REPORT NO.: PSD- 037 -13 PAGE 5 FIGURE 3 — Example of other types of signage along Highway 2 in Courtice 2.4 Comments 2.4.1 The recently approved Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan necessitates an update to the description of the area in the Sign By -law. Expansion of the area defined currently in Schedule "2" (Attachment 2) will include other commercial and mid -rise residential lands on the Highway 2 Corridor. 2.4.2 Staff recommend that Schedule "2" of the By -law be amended to reflect the boundaries of the Courtice West Gateway urban design precinct identified in the Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan and that all references to the " Courtice West Shopping District (CWSD)" be replaced with " Courtice West Gateway (CWG) ". 2.4.3 Replacement of existing monolith /pylon signs in the Courtice West Gateway may be considered on a site by site basis. However, the provisions of the Sign By -law are meant to encourage diversification of the signage along this stretch of Highway 2. In these instances, property owners can apply for an exception by amendment to the by- law; they will be considered on a site specific basis using the Urban Design Guidelines and justification provided by the applicant. 2.5 Sign Height 2.5.1 A housekeeping amendment is proposed to ensure that sign height is interpreted and measured consistently. There is a definition for "Finished Grade" which should be cross- referenced in the definition of sign height. In Section 7.11, Table 4, on Maximum Sign Height, wherever the word height appears it should be qualified as sign height. 8 -17 REPORT NO.: PSD-037-13 PAGE 6 2.6 Comments 2.6.1 It is recommended that appropriate revisions be made as noted in Attachment 3 to provide clarity for the measurement of sign height. 4.1 Staff are recommending the changes outlined in this report to the Newcastle Heritage Resource Area, the Courtice West Shopping District, and the provisions regarding sign height. 4.2 Staff have provided the necessary by -law in Attachment 3 to amend the Sign By -law 2009 -123 to facilitate the changes outlined in this report.

" As requested Staff have completed a review of all railway level crossings within the Municipality that intersect with roads under Clarington's jurisdiction. An exception to this are those level crossings on the Canadian Pacific Railway's Havelock Subdivision Line running along the northern extreme through Burketon due to the low traffic volumes, infrequent train volumes and the lower train speeds along this line. 2. BACKGROUND The Municipality is serviced with two main railway lines. The Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) provides two (2) railway subdivision lines, the Belleville Subdivision Line running along the lakeshore and the Havelock Subdivision Line running along the northern extreme through Burketon. The Canadian National Railway (CN) has the Kingston Subdivision Line running along the lakeshore. The different types of road /railway crossing for each railway are identified on Attachment 1. The level crossings reviewed as part of this report are summarized in gable 1 below. The Belleville Subdivision of CP carries roughly 21 freight trains daily through the Municipality of Clarington with an average operating speed of 100 km /hr (60 miles per hour) on 34 km of single track. The Kingston Subdivision of CN carries roughly 46 trains 22 high speed Via Trains and 24 freight trains at up to speeds of 160 km /hr (100 miles per hour) on 31 km of double track. Currently railway operations in Canada are governed by the Railway Safety Act to "promote and provide the safety of the public and personnel, and the protections of property and the environment." 9 -3 Fable 9 — Level Crossings in Clarington NMI MILE NO.

Due to the high speed of the CN line and the fact that it is a double track, all 9 level crossings on this line that intersect with a public open road allowance have flashing lights, bells and gates. Along the CP line, 4 level crossings that intersect with Clarington roads have flashing lights, bells and gates, 1 location has a cross buck warning provided and the remaining 10 have flashing lights and bells. Currently all level crossings in Clarington comply with the Railway Safety Act, 1985. Since this time there have been no significant changes at these crossings other, than growth in the Municipality resulting in an increased Daily Exposure Index (Number of Vehicles X Trains per Day). This recent growth resulted in an upgrade at the Mearns Avenue Level Crossing in 2008. It is important to note that Transport Canada is in the process of reviewing their, Draft Canadian Railway — Roadway Grade Crossing Standards, January 2012 (CRRGCS) with stakeholders and it is anticipated that these standards will Come Into Force (CIF) sometime in, 2015. Based on feedback from Transport Canada there will likely be some revisions to the proposed Standards prior to them being finalized. Additionally it is expected that proponents will have roughly 5 years from CIF, of the Standard to comply. Currently the Draft Railway /Roadway Grade Crossings — Technical Standards and Inspection, Testing and Maintenance Reports, 2002 (RTD -10) guidelines are used to assist with determining requirements for warning systems at level grade crossings undergoing modifications such as a change in train speeds, road reconstruction and additional tracks. It should be noted that no additional funding is currently proposed for these changes and it is expected that applications will be processed through Transport Canada's Grade Crossing Improvement Program. Staff anticipate an increased demand on this program. 9 -5 The purpose of the review was to look at current conditions and to identify general safety and operational issues through site inspections at all 24 at -grade crossings and provide recommendations for improvements that are feasible. The goal of the review was to propose and prioritize mitigative measures and provide recommendations for further specialized safety assessment where required. The scope of the review included: Physical inspection of each crossing including approaches, physical layout, etc. 0 Creating a list of deficiencies that could reasonably be corrected and, where possible, recommendations on correcting them. ® Determining crossings locations where a more specialized Safety Crossing Assessment is required. in consultation with Transport Canada and the applicable Railway authority. The review was prepared using the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for ' Canada , and with current Transport Canada regulations (CRRGCS / RTD -10) as a guideline assuming modifications at the level crossings will be required at some time in the future either to deal with railway expansion, speed changes or general growth in the Municipality and under the following considerations: o All the information was obtained at the site during the time of the inspection. 0 Potential vehicle and pedestrian sightline concerns 0 Design vehicle used: tractor trailer (tractor with 16.15m trailer). 0 Use of 160 km /hr (100mph) maximum train speed on the Kingston Subdivision as per CN time table. 0 Use of 100 km /hr (60 mph) maximum train speed on the Belleville Subdivision as per CP time table. 0 46 CN average daily trains information was provided by CN. REPORT NO.: EOD- 015 -13 PAGE 7 21 CP average daily trains information was provided by CP. All of these considerations fall under one fundamental objective: Consider the safety of the crossing users at the existing conditions. The following is a summary of the most common issues found at the crossings: • Need of pavement markings such as "No passing lines" and "Stop bars" on road approaches or the repainting of stop bars as per standards. • Requirement for additional advance warning signs on road approaches • A high number of the crossings (12) show a transition surface (between tracks and road) that is in poor condition or showing signs of wear that should be brought to the attention of the Railways. CP has replaced most of the crossing surfaces but not all of the CN crossings provide a, smooth transition surface for drivers. Based on visual observations sightlines were adequate, but being that this is a screening study, real sightlines should only be obtained as part of a more detailed safety review (assessment). ® 2 out of the 11 CP level crossings meet our screening criteria for consideration of upgrading the crossings with gates based on current cross - product (number of daily trains X Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT)) exceeding 50,000 also referred to as an exposure index. All of the minor recommended safety improvements noted above such as the improved signage and road paint will be addressed with the $75,000, approved in the 2013 Engineering Services Capital Budget for Railway Level Crossing, Improvements. The Operations Department also assist with efforts to improve the level crossings through their annual level crossing surface improvements in which they work with ~ M O- 4 - 1 i y the rail authorities to improve the driving surface across the crossings. Typically they are able to complete one location annually. On the more complicated crossing surface improvement projects Engineering Services provides design, approval and administration assistance to ensure the Municipality's needs are addressed. Over the last few years Operations and Engineering staff have noticed that there have been some challenges in dealing with the railway and the maintenance of the level crossings. These challenges have been notification of rail work, restoration of disturbed road approaches and timely maintenance of the crossing surface. It is recommended that Engineering Services develop a level crossing policy that addresses the above challenges with the following: ® Notification of Railworks - rail authority to provide a minimum of 2 weeks notice from time of proposed works unless it is emergency repair. ® Notification of Road Works — the Municipality to provide a minimum of 4 weeks' notice of road improvements at a level crossing unless it is emergency repair. This is a longer period due to limited availability of rail flagging staff. ® Develop minimum standard for restoration of road approaches disturbed as a result of railway works. Develop a minimum standard for response time for replacement of deteriorated crossing surface between the track rails. This policy will provide Operations, Engineering Services, the Railway Authority and the public a clear understanding what is expected at the level crossings as it relates to regular maintenance. In addition to the to the above noted recommendations for improvements staff identified two specific crossings requiring a more detailed safety review to address the unique nature of the crossings and potential users: ,., - O EGD-015-13 PAGE ,:. The two lane asphalt road crosses four tracks. Although the asphalt on the approaches is in fair condition, the crossing surface does not provide a smooth driving surface due to several issues such as: Asphalt is deteriorating at crossing. Crossing surface (wood) is bouncing as cars pass over it. A possible foundation and /or drainage problem is suspected. Some planks (wood) need to be replaced. The crossing in general is in poor condition. This situation is exacerbated by the fact that the crossing main users are seniors from the Wilmot Creek retirement community on the South side of the crossing. During the visit it was observed that the users take extra precautions to drive through the crossing, extending the time required to cross. This could represent a safety concern for the drivers and for the Railway. This crossing requires a further, more detailed assessment. It is estimated that a detailed safety assessment will cost $16,000 to complete at this location. The crossing is single tracked with a travelled two lane paved asphalt road and a rubberized crossing treatment, with an intersection (Wellington St) located 6 metres from the track on the SE quadrant. The crossing offers a very unique configuration that presents challenges for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. The angle of the crossing is skewed making the site even more constrained. Although removal of the Wellington Street intersection with Scugog Street would be the best solution, it is not feasible. As a result of the unique configuration the crossing has been provided with multiple protective measures by the Municipality and the Railway as follows: REPORT NO.: EGO- 015 -13 PAGE 10 • Stop sign is provided at the intersection for drivers from Wellington St. • Additional lights have been provided oriented towards all approaches. • Cantilever has been installed on the South approach to provide enough warning time for drivers as the sightlines are restricted on the SE Quadrant due to the acute angle. The crossings itself is in fair condition. This crossing requires a further, more detailed assessment to address improvements for all users. It is estimated that a detailed safety assessment will cost $18,000 to complete at this location. 6. TRANSPORT CANADA'S GRADE CROSSING IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (GCIP) Considering that the major level crossing improvements identified in the review will improve safety, it is recommended that Staff proceed with completing the necessary work to allow Clarington to apply for 50 percent funding of costs associated with the safety improvements through Transport Canada's Grade Crossing Improvement Program (GCIP) at the 2 top priority locations that meet our screening criteria for consideration of upgrading the crossing to add gates. These locations are: CP Mile No. 166.55 - Holt Road north of Baseline Road; and CP Mile No. 168.22 - Baseline Road west of Holt Road The Grade Crossing Improvement Program (GCIP), funded under Section 12 of the Railway Safety Act (RSA), provides a contribution of up to 50 percent of the cost of a crossing improvement project. The maximum contribution to a recipient for a single project is limited to $550,000. Contributions cover the cost of safety improvements only and do not include future maintenance costs. Responsibility for remaining costs must be negotiated by the involved authorities (usually railway companies and municipalities). If the authorities MW cannot reach agreement, they may ask the Canadian Transportation Agency to make a determination. The typical cost sharing arrangement between the municipality and the railway ranges from 12.5% to 50% for the Municipality and 50% to 87.5% for the railway depending on funding arrangements. In September /October, once all the projects have been prioritized by Transport Canada, a list of recommended projects is sent to the Minister for approval. Once the projects are approved by the Minister (usually around the end of April), Transport Canada sends a notification to the applicant. At this time, Transport Canada will ask the recipient to provide an approximate start date and completion date for the project that correspond with the construction season for the following year. It is important to note that no work can proceed on a project being considered for funding until after the application has been submitted. It is recommended that the Municipality, in conjunction with the railway, submit an application for funding in the current year and wait for the funding announcement in April and budget for the work in the following year if funding is approved. It should be noted that the application remains in the annual process until it becomes a high enough priority to be approved for funding. If the railway or Municipality decides to move the project forward, it can do so, provided they fund 100% of the project. Should their funding application be approved after the work is.started or complete they will be reimbursed by Transport Canada. This was the approach that was taken with the Means Avenue level crossing. Due to the limited amount of available funds in a given year, the applications received under the Grade Crossing Improvement Program are prioritized by Transport Canada Staff and the funds are allocated based on the seriousness of the safety problem and the potential for avoiding fatalities, injuries and damage. The following factors are used by Transport Canada in prioritizing, and in assessing a grade crossing for funding: ® Number of trains (annual daily average) ® Number of vehicles (annual daily average) 9 -11' • Maximum train speed • Maximum road speed • Current level of protection • Multiple track crossings • Width of the travelled portion of the roadway • Angle of crossing • A history of accidents Other key factors that could also be looked at include: ® Proximity of adjacent intersection Proximity of adjacent switch ® Interconnection with traffic signals • Severely restricted sightlines • Inconsistent warning times • Curved or angled approach that impedes the view of approaching trains • Driver behavior • Driver confusion • Driver distractions • Driver expectations • Type of roadway • Type of traffic • Proximity of recreational facilities, schools, industries etc. • Overall visibility of the crossing area /lights /signs I 9 -12 ,iIKI Table 2 below provides a priority listing of the 11 level crossings where gates (drop arm) improvements for the CP line are recommended based on the exposure index.

Should Staff resources not be available it is estimated that the application process will cost roughly $5,000.00 per location. As can be seen in Table 2, the Baseline Road level crossing east of Rundle Road does meet our exposure index screening criteria for consideration of the addition of gates while the crossing at Prestonvale Road did not. In order for Prestonvale to meet, the exposure index screening criteria there would need to be 50% increase in .road traffic volume from the current 1582 vehicles per day to roughly 2380 vehicles per day. We anticipate small increases in traffic over the short term with larger increases expected once the remaining lands in south Courtice adjacent to Prestonvale Road develops. Staff will continue to monitor all of these crossings. 9 -13 7. CONCURRENCE — Not applicable go Z I _ _ Wil Based on the review of the 11 non -gated rail level crossings it is recommended that staff begin the process of reviewing the top 2 level crossing priorities with Transport Canada and Canadian Pacific Railway in order that applications can be made to the GCIP for funding. Additionally it is recommended that the CP level crossing at Scugog Street and the CN level crossing at Cobbledick Road be advanced to a more detailed review in consultation with the railway authorities and Transport Canada in order to determine options to mitigate some of the concerns identified in the level crossing review exercise. Funding for the top 2 priority safety improvements and the 2 detailed Safety Audits should be considered during the preparation of the 2014 Capital Budget, Staff will continue to monitor the remaining level crossings on an ongoing basis using their screening criteria of exposure index exceeding 50,000 for consideration of the addition of gates. Staff will update road traffic count information annually at the following 3 locations as the exposure index for these crossings is approaching 50,.000: ® Concession Street East — west of Regional Road 42 Maple Grove Road — North of Baseline Road ® Prestonvale Road — North of Baseline Road At such time that there are any planned changes to any of the remaining 9 locations or should the screening criteria be met, Staff should proceed to engage Transport Canada and Canadian Pacific Railway to initiate the process to upgrade the crossing with gates and to submit application for funding under the Grade Crossing Improvement Program. The work that the Municipality has undertaken as part of this level crossing review will be of great assistance in prioritizing future safety improvements that may be mandated under future legislation as is proposed by the Draft Canadian Railway Roadway Grade Crossing Standards, January 2012 (CRRGCS). 9 -14 CONFORMITY WITH STRATEGIC The recommendations contained in this report conform to the general intent of the following priorities of the Strategic Plan: Promoting economic development X Maintaining financial stability Connecting Clarington Promoting green initiatives X Investing in infrastructure Showcasing our community Not in conformity with Strategic Plan Staff Contact: Ron Albright, Manager, Infrastructure and Capital Works Attachments: Attachment 1 - Rail Crossings in Clarington List of interested parties to be advised of Council's decision: Canadian Pacific Railway Canadian National Railway Transport Canada Mrs. Anita Oliveira 9 -15 i 4 Meeting GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE Date: May 27, 2013 Resolution #: By-law Report EGD -018 -13 File #: WKUTWZMN It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1.

BACKGROUND PAGE 2 The Highway Two corridor entrance into Bowmanville, east of Regional Road 57, has had a long history of providing signage for upcoming events and an annual flower display in three beds on the north-side, providing some colour to enhance and showcase this entrance into the downtown Bowmanville BIA. The garden beds present an opportunity to showcase our community and work with community partners which is one of the priorities in Council's Strategic Plan. 2. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Clarington The Operations Department has been approached by the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Clarington organization to assist in the development of a Centennial garden project. The preferred location (picture below) was the Highway Two location entering Bowmanville. The Big Brothers Big Sisters organization has submitted a letter of request (Attachment 1) and a proposed design (Attachment 2) for Council approval. 3. COMMENTS The three beds were originally planted and maintained by the Bowmanville Horticultural Society. The Municipality assumed the maintenance from the Horticultural Society in 2005 when they could no longer maintain them. The annual cost of the three beds for materials, labour and equipment is approximately $4500.00. Staff recommends the following procedure for future displays in the central bed: 1. Requests will only be considered from recognized non - profit charitable organizations contributing to the well being of National, Provincial, Municipal residents and /or historical special events that are recognized as being World, National, Provincial or local in nature that have a significant meaning or impact on the local citizenry. 10 -2 *EPORT ':• O'D -11' PAGE 3 2. Requests submitted in future years must be received prior to February. 3. If there are multiple eligible requests in any one year, a report will be submitted' to Council for a final decision. 4. The Municipality will supply annuals consistent with the previous year's display. 5. The successful requesting organization, will be asked to provide reimbursement to the Municipality for specific material used in the message /logo, and any extra costs such as for design or artwork. 6. The Municipality will be responsible for the installation, planting and maintenance of the display for the successful organization. 4. CONCURRENCE — Not Applicable The Operations Department appreciates and looks forward for the opportunity to work with community partners to showcase their celebrations. Staff will review other potential locations across the Municipality, to encourage civic horticultural displays.

OPD- 009 -13 ATTACHMENT 1 APR 0 2 2013 -i A once -in -a- lifetime celebration has started across Canada, as 2013 marks the 100th Anniversary of Big. Brothers Big Sisters in Canada. Not only.is this a rare occasion, it presents a rare opportunity to our agency; the chance to leverage our longevity, ignite new interest in the movement and to Start Something BIG in Clarington for the next 100 years. It is with this in mind that we are approaching the Municipality of Clarington with a special request. We would like to make a mark in our community with a visual representation of the Big Brothers Big Sisters movement, commemorating 100 years of serving our nation's children. We would like to engage the Municipality of Clarington in the development of a Centennial Garden which would proudly display our logo and our years of service. We envision the Centennial Garden being developed in the existing garden plots on the north side of Highway #2, just west of the train overpass and just east of Highway #57. In this garden, we would like to have a bed of purple flowers surrounding a white gravel based image of our logo complete with a similar layout highlighting the years of service. This could be done in one of the three current plots (preferably the centre plot) or it could be spread out to incorporate all three current plots (please see rough sketch attached.) It is our hope that this garden will remain in existence year after year, until another such request is made. It is our intention to work with the Municipality on this project, with our staff providing any necessary support. We would like to have some of our Bigs and Littles involved in the development and the official unveiling which we would orchestrate in conjunction with Municipal staff. We have met with Mr. Bob Genosko of the Operations Department to present this idea, and at his suggestion we are forwarding this request to you for official approval. We look forward to working with you and sharing this once -in -a- lifetime milestone with the Municipality of Clarington.

June is Recreation and Parks Month was launched in 2005 as an initiative of Parks and Recreation Ontario (PRO), Ontario Recreation Facilities Association (ORFA) and Ontario Parks Association (OPA). Since that time the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Ontario Public Health Association, Ontario Society of Physical Activity Promoters in Public Health, Ontario Trails Council and the Sport Alliance have also united their efforts to improve the quality of life by promoting. the benefits that recreation and parks provide to communities and to Ontario's citizens. 1.2 The goal of Recreation and Parks Month is to increase public awareness of the value and benefits of recreation for individuals, families, neighbourhoods and communities. It is an opportunity to celebrate the success of recreation and parks in contributing to the quality of life in our communities across Ontario. 2.1 During the month of June, the Community Services Department will be celebrating Recreation and Parks Month, encouraging families to get active together. Regardless of how you define "recreation ", it is important to recognize the benefits recreation provides. 2.2 To encourage greater community participation in local programs and events, the Community Services Department is offering a variety of free or low -cost activities in June to celebrate Recreation and Parks Month. Throughout the month of June staff will be visiting local parks on a Neighbourhood Family Fitness Tour (Attachment 1). The tour will reach out to residents in their neighbourhoods providing fun, interactive activities that are low or no cost and require little or no equipment. 2.3 The Neighbourhood Family Fitness Tour was first offered in Clarington during June is Recreation and Parks Month in 2012. Community Services Department Staff visited eight parks and offered free activities for 190 children and adults. Parents and children participated in activities that encouraged families to get active together. By encouraging activities such as running, jumping and throwing, children have an opportunity to develop fundamental movement skills, a term known as "physical literacy ". 3.0 PHYSICAL LITERACY AND HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT 3.1 Physical literacy is just as important as the ability to read and write. The most important step toward developing physical literacy is mastering fundamental movement skills. Physical literacy is the concept that children must learn how to move properly when they are in preschool and elementary school. The idea behind physical literacy is this: if we give children the opportunity to do the right 12 -2 .• • • 11. physical activities at the right time in their development, more of them will enjoy getting active and stay active. 3.2 Individuals who are physically literate move with competence and confidence in a wide variety of physical activities in multiple environments that benefit the healthy development of the whole person. These skills enable individuals to make healthy, active choices that are both beneficial to and respectful of their whole self, others and their environment. 3.3 Research has shown that being physically active later in life depends on an individual's ability to feel confident in an activity, setting. That confidence most often comes from having learned fundamental movement and sport skills, or physical literacy, as a child. Research has also shown that without the development of physical literacy, many children and youth withdraw from physical activity and sport and turn to more inactive and / or unhealthy choices during their leisure time. 3.4 For many valuable reasons such as a healthy person, a healthy family and a healthy community, the promotion of being active in our parks, open spaces and recreation facilities is an integral part in our support of Recreation and Parks Month. 4.0 COMMENTS 4.1 The Proclamation (Attachment 2) has been developed by Parks and Recreation Ontario (PRO). PRO is requesting municipal Councils show their support for Recreation and Parks by proclaiming June as Recreation and Parks Month. 4.2 Recreation, through physical, social and artistic expression, provides opportunities for individuals to improve their health and wellness, socialize and interact with others, learn new skills, have fun and find balance in their lives. In particular, physical activity and stress reduction are two health issues that researchers identify as benefits of local parks and recreation to public health.

THAT Report CLD- 018 -13 be received for information. Submitted by: PLB /CAG M arfie, CMO I Clerk LC Reviewed by: Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T 905 - 623 -3379 13 -5 im • 13 -6 1.1 At its meeting held on April 29, 2013 Council passed Resolution #GPA- 242 -13: THAT Staff report back on updating the municipal server to allow more than the current maximum of 10 users to access the agendas, minutes and reports on the municipal website. 1.2 The Municipality of Clarington has invested in Laserfiche which is a software system used to manage our electronic document repository. This powerful system is currently used to manage our records of historical value including council and committee agendas and minutes, reports to committee and council, Advisory Committee minutes, and our by -laws. Our repository for minutes and by -laws includes records dating back to the 1800's. Since January of this year, we have also added our council and Committee audio recording files (which can be quite large files) to our Laserfiche repository. 1.3 Public access to these records is provided through a web portal called Weblink. Until recently, our 10 concurrent licences proved to be sufficient. 1.4 Although it is difficult to predict access activity, staff believes that some of the access traffic congestion is due to the file size of our meeting audio files. These audio files are very large and given that they are not indexed by agenda item, our listeners are required to listen to the whole of the file rather than simply jumping to their desired agenda item discussion. Thus our listeners are tying up an access licence for a longer period of time than would be if the audio files were indexed. 1.5 As mentioned earlier, Laserfiche is a powerful system which we will continue to expand to improve our internal processes as they.pertain to records and information management. We are on a path of continual improvement which includes an annual review of our Laserfiche System needs. Our 2013 Budget included funds to be allocated to expanding our number of licences both for internal and public access to our records. 1.6 In determining the appropriate number of licences staff considered the types of records currently available to the public, the types of records planned to be released to the public over the next year, and the number of staff accessing the records through the web portal. As well, staff considered the vendor's input based on best practices with similar sized organizations. 1.7 The 15 new licences (for a total of 25) were implemented during the week of May 6t" within budget. At the time of writing this report, staff has confirmed that there have been no reported incidents of difficulty accessing our public records either by members of the public or our staff. REPORT NO.: CLD- 018 -13 .. .......:.... .. 1.8 Going forward, staff will continue to monitor access rates and should it be concluded that our users are still experiencing on -going high levels of access congestion, staff will consider alternatives for access to our meeting audio files. 2. CONCURRENCE: 2.1 This report has been reviewed by Rob Van Dyk, Manager of IT Services, who concurs with the recommendation. 3. CONCLUSION: Our public web access for Council /Committee meeting agendas, minutes and reports was expanded to more than double the access licences. Staff will continue to monitor our access traffic. Should on -going high levels of congestion prove to be an issue, staff will take the necessary steps to address the matter.

The purpose of the branding was to create a look that would increase public recognition and awareness as well as to establish a consistent, positive corporate image. 1.2 Business cards are a piece of the Municipality's marketing strategy and consistency is essential to ensure a consistent visual presentation. 1.3 A standard template for Business was developed as part of the Branding Strategy for Municipal Employees to ensure compliance with the corporate standards. The standard template can be found within the Brand Application Guidelines. Attached for reference is a copy of the standard Business Card Template (Attachment 1). 1.4 Requests have been received to include additional information on the Municipal Business Cards including but not limited to photos, translations or second language, personal website addresses, personal telephone numbers, personal email addresses, etc. 2. COMMENTS 2.1 The printing of a personal photo would require a total redesign of the municipal business card plus additional cost in colour reproduction. This is also a major departure from the branding we have been using for all municipal employee business cards and therefore is not recommended. 2.2 The printing of personal /business website information would be beyond the intended purpose of a municipal business card which is to be used to facilitate municipal business. Any deviation from this could risk violating municipal policy regarding the use of municipal resources for personal purpose. 2.3 The printing on the reverse side of additional information such as translation in a second language is problematic due to the fact that the business cards are mass printed and embossed with the Clarington Logo. The embossing creates an indentation on the back which inhibits the printing on the back of the card. 2.4 The municipal business card is intended to be used for identification and linkage of the individual to the municipality plus information such as phone number and address that constituents can contact the council members. We understand that some council members prefer to be contacted through personal email address and /or home phone /address as a means to create a 24/7 availability. This is essentially a personal choice but nonetheless does not appear to pose any issue with the current branding format nor would it create any issue with the current policy. All that would be involved is an extra line to capture the information the individual council member chooses. 14 -2 Not Applicable •MI •` 4.1 For the purpose of maintaining the municipal brand and achieving consistency of the appearance of the municipal business card, we suggest Council approve the recommendations contained in this report.

BACKGROUND 1.1 Report COD -015 -13 to the General Purpose and Administration Committee was reviewed at the May 6, 2013 meeting and referred to Staff for a report providing the evaluations, criteria and ranking for consideration at the May 27, 2013 General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting. Copies of Report COD - 015-13 and Committee Resolution #GPA- 314 -13 are appended as Attachments 1 and 2, respectively. 1.2 Request for Proposal #RFP2013 -4 was issued and publicly advertised on the Clarington and Ontario Public Buyers websites. As noted in the report, 41 firms downloaded the bid document and, 12 firms submitted proposals. 1.3 Further to the information provided in the original report and to better indicate the evaluation process and criteria, a copy of the evaluation criteria provided with the bid document is appended as Attachment #3. 1.4 It is a requirement in the public sector that the evaluation criteria be provided as part of the RFP document so bidders are aware of the criteria and the weighting system. Once established and bids close, the criteria or weighting cannot be changed and it is incumbent on the agency to conduct the evaluation using only the criteria issued with the document. 2. ANALYSIS 2.1 It is important to note that the RFP process is significantly different than the tender process. 2.2 With the tender process the specifications for the project or requirement are provided along with all of the terms and conditions for the project. Bidders have the opportunity to bid but must bid to meet the specification and agree to the terms and conditions. To do otherwise will result in a non - compliant and rejected bid. 2.3 With an RFP, the definition is key to understanding the process. A Request for Proposal is a formal invitation to submit an offer. "The offer is to provide a solution to a problem or a need that the organization has identified. An, RFP is a procurement process in which the judgement of the supplier's experience, qualifications and solution may take precedence over price." (1) 2.4 For this RFP, the submissions were reviewed and rated by a committee comprised of representatives from the Community Services Department and Purchasing Services. Each member reviewed all 12 submissions and attended the evaluation meeting prepared to discuss the proposals in detail and rate the criteria according to the guidelines. Each element in Part A of the Evaluation criteria is discussed in detail for each proposal and a consensus rating is reached for each component. Each rating is then weighted to determine the actual score for this part of the process. The one exception to the foregoing process is the 11-IM method used to rate the pricing. In this case the rating is established using a standard formula which assigns a total score of 5 for the lowest price and higher prices are rated using the formula resulting in a rating between 0.01 to 4.9. The weight is then applied to the rating for an actual score. Bidders achieving a score of 70% move on to the next phase of the process — the interview and if necessary the checking of references. 2.5 For clarification, there are alternatives when calling for proposals. The method used for this proposal revealed the price at the opening of bids whereas and the second method, which is called the 2 Envelope System, the proposal less the price is submitted in envelope #1 and the pricing details are submitted in envelope #2. Bidders achieving a predetermined score on the proposal (Envelope #1) will have their Envelope #2 opened and the bid recorded and rated. Bidders who do not achieve the minimum score will have their Envelope #2 returned unopened. 2.6 The accepted standard for RFPs is that the overall high scoring proposal is the proposal recommended. Please note that this requirement is covered under Section 17, Purchasing By -law 2010 -112 which reads as follows: "It is the Corporation's general policy to select the Proposal that earns the highest ranked score and meets the requirements of the RFP based on qualitative, technical and pricing considerations." 3. COMMENTS 3.1 The foregoing section provided an outline of the RFP process and the criteria. However, it did not address the Committee's request for additional information on the evaluations and ranking of the proposals. 3.2 For a number of reasons we traditionally do not release the rating on RFPs in a public manner. When dealing with a debriefing of proponents we will advise individual proponents of areas of where the ranking was lower and the reason for the ranking; for example a firm may have only a limited amount of experience or the submission was limited in detail. As noted, each of the components in the Evaluation Criteria are considered and strengths and weakness considered. 3.3 There is an economic reason for not publishing the detailed results. The criteria and the ratings are unique to the project at hand and must be considered accordingly. To publish the ranking and the rating of proponents exposes the data which can be misconstrued as a statement of competence or ability when the rating applies only to the project at hand. A low ranked bidder on one project may well score high on another similar project for any number of reasons; lessons learned, different criteria and weighting or different pricing strategy. 18 -3 REPORT NO.: Addendum #1 to COD - 015 -13 PAGE 4 4.
