Demolition Rights. Through use of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Gerkes highlighted
his current home and surrounding property, including an orchard which is scheduled
to be expropriated by the Ministry of Transportation for the construction of Highway
407 East. Mr. Gerkes has been advised to vacate this property by the end of the year.
He stated his family owns a second property on Maple Grove Road where they will
build a replacement home. Mr. Gerkes stated that he has been advised by Municipal
staff that if his current home was demolished, he would not have to pay demolition
fees if he were to re-build at the current location. He confirmed that the Ministry of
Transportation is expropriating the entire property and this option is not available to
him. Mr. Gerkes is requesting that the demolition rights be transferred to his property
on Maple Grove Road. Mr. Gerkes stated that the current home is too large to move
and stressed that the home that will be constructed at the Maple Grove location is a
replacement home for their current home.
Council Meeting Minutes - 4 - September 16, 2013
Carol Hopps addressed Council concerning Item 2 of Report#1 — Report EGD-030-13
-Trudeau Walkway. Ms. Hopps stated she is a resident of Trudeau Drive and bought
her home in the area because of its proximity to the elementary and secondary
schools. Ms. Hopps indicated that following the meetings regarding the walkway, she
thought the majority of residents were in favour of keeping the walkway open but
noted that some residents are now concerned with privacy issues. Ms. Hopps stated
traffic on Trudeau Drive is busy at all times including cars parked during the evenings
but she has never witnessed an emergency vehicle being affected by the situation.
Ms. Hopps feels that more people would be affected by closing the walkway. She
advised that the Bowmanville High School has now designated a smoking area in their
parking lot which will help to keep the students on school property. Ms. Hopps
expressed appreciation to all involved in keeping the pathway open for people who
use it on a daily basis for a variety of reasons.
Brad Black, Black's Water Supply Inc., addressed Council concerning Item 3 of
Report#1 — Boots & Hearts Music Festival. Mr. Black expressed support for the
continuation of the music festival highlighting the economic impact of the event which
reaches far beyond what is 'achieved at the park. Mr. Black provided examples of
local businesses which saw increases of over 50% in sales during the festival period.
He confirmed that he has previous experience working with other large
concerts/events and feels that Republic Live Inc. is a step above the rest and he is in
full support of the organizers.
Anita DeVries, Durham Region Home Builders' Association (DRHBA), addressed
Council concerning Item 17 of Report#1 — Updated Subdivision Agreement. Ms.
DeVries expressed appreciation to staff for their efforts in clarifying the process and
allowing fora manageable payment plan, and to Council for ensuring that Clarington
is a fantastic place to live and work. Ms. DeVries confirmed that DRHBA is the voice
of residential building noting when their members build new communities in
Clarington, they provide highly efficient, quality homes, attract job opportunities and
contribute to community social programs. Ms. DeVries stated the Association has one
concern regarding the upgraded agreement regarding winter maintenance costs. It is
the position of their members that collecting winter maintenance fees on all roads for
two years is double-dipping noting developers pay property tax and when they sell the
home the new owners pay property tax. She stated that the Association would be
amenable to paying the fees for one year only instead of the two years as proposed in
the agreement.

i) In view of Regional Council's endorsement of the Next Wave of Big
Move (with the Region's proposed additions), the Region
recommends that the Province fund these Next Wave of Big Move
projects in the following manner:
1. The Ontario Government provide 100 per cent funding of the
Big Move capital projects and provide annual, ongoing, and
sustainable capital and operating grant funding (an operating
cost recovery funding model) to municipalities for
implementing and operating Big Move projects and supporting
local transit and transportation initiatives, based on increases
to the Province's own funding sources as they may determine.
The Province be further advised that Durham's property tax
base and constrained transit development charges cannot
support the hundreds of millions of dollars in capital needs and
the fiscal sustainability required for funding the ongoing annual
operating costs;
Council Meeting Minutes - 9 - September 16, 2013
2. The Federal Government adopt a National Transit Strategy
that would include the Federal Government contributing
funding towards the capital costs for the Next Wave transit and
transportation infrastructure;
3. If the Province of Ontario determines that increases in the
Harmonized Sales Tax and the mobility tax credit are to be
implemented that the changes be applied Province wide and
not just specific to the GTHA to ensure no adverse impact to
the GTHA region relative to the rest of Ontario;
4. If the Province of Ontario determines that an increase in a per
litre fuel and gasoline tax are to be implemented that the
changes be applied Province wide and not just specific to the
GTHA to ensure no adverse impact to the GTHA region
relative to the rest of Ontario and that consideration be given
to a phase-in of any such increase over a period of up to five
years to ensure impacts are minimized;
5. The proposed arbitrary 15 per cent increase to the existing
development charge rates not be endorsed as presented;
6. The average $0.25 per spot per day business parking space
levy not be implemented;
7. That Metrolinx's proposed amendments to the Development
Charge Act to remove the 10 year historical service level
restriction and mandatory 10 per cent discount when
calculating the Transit Development Charge be implemented
by the Province and that all Development Charge revenue
collected stay in the region where collected and be used for
transit;
8. In order to replace the'outdated current GO Development
Charge, the Ontario Government investigate and confer with
municipalities regarding a potential implementation of a new
special Metrolinx development related fee on all new
residential and commercial development and further that such
a fee be applied to all geographic areas that are serviced by.
GO Transit;
9. Metrolinx's proposal to provide up to 25 per cent of the new
revenue generated (up to $500 million per year) to the GTHA
municipalities in support of the Big Move projects, be
investigated by the Province to ensure any funding allocation
methodology and terms are fair, equitable and acceptable to
the GTHA municipalities;
Council Meeting Minutes _ 10 - September 16, 2013
10. In order to ensure transparency and accountability, that any
financing dedicated to funding the Big Move, be segregated in
a separate GTHA Trust Fund, with the financial activities to be
audited and publicly reported, as recommended by Metrolinx;
11. Municipalities be exempt from having to directly pay any new
fee, tax or levy that will result in additional costs to
municipalities;
12. Any new municipal related fee, tax, or levy increase being
considered by the Province, be subject to the agreement of
municipalities prior to implementation, given varying municipal
fiscal realities in balancing competing municipal infrastructure
needs and costs with property tax financing issues;
13'. That Metrolinx funding for transit and transportation projects
continue to be made conditional and prioritized based on a
business case approach (evidence based evaluation), to
demonstrate need, cost, and long term financial sustainability;
and
14. That the governance structure of Metrolinx be modified to
include elected municipal councillors to ensure fair
representation of municipal concerns and the appropriate
balancing of the fiscal realities; and
b) THAT a copy of Report#2013-F-55 be forwarded to Metrolinx, the
Ontario Ministers of Finance, Infrastructure Ontario, Municipal Affairs
and Housing, the Federal Ministers of Finance, Transportation, and

Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, advising that on
June 24, 2013, the Township of Scugog adopted the following
recommendation regarding the Big Move Transit and Transportation Plan
recommended by Metrolinx:
"WHEREAS the Township of Scugog supports the principle and general
direction behind the Big Move transit and transportation plan
recommendations put forth by Metrolinx for the GTHA;
AND WHEREAS Scugog requires less investment in transit than its urban
counterparts, as evident in the Big Move plan, and yet continues to be
burdened with an unsustainable roads infrastructure deficit;
AND WHEREAS Scugog's ability to develop and generate growth related
revenues is constrained by provincial land use policies and limited
servicing infrastructure;
AND WHEREAS Scugog has contributed significantly to the protection of
the province's prime agricultural lands and other green space for which it
receives no financial recognition from the Government of Ontario;
AND WHEREAS Scugog has ongoing concerns with proposed reductions
in the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT revenues raised through
the use of the various tools recommended by Metrolinx be spent on both
roads and transit projects within the local municipalities in which they were
raised;
AND THAT the Government of Canada be requested to adopt a national
transit strategy to include long term, predictable capital funding for higher
order transit projects above and beyond the current infrastructure
programs;
AND THAT the Government of Canada, the Government of Ontario
(Minister of Infrastructure), Metrolinx and the Region of Durham be so
advised."

9614;

accountability, efficiency, equity and sustainability;
c) THAT with respect to Ontario's energy supply mix, the Ministry
of Energy be advised that Durham Region:
Summary of Correspondence - 7 - September 30, 2013
i) supports the continued use and development of nuclear
energy as reliable source of baseload electricity and a key
element of Ontario's energy supply mix;
ii) supports the development of electric power facilities,
including renewable energy facilities in appropriate locations
determined in consultation with willing area municipalities
and through proper environmental assessment and land use
planning processes; and
iii) advocates for adequate and effective provincial incentives
for Regional and local municipalities to incorporate
renewable energy installations on/in (existing and new)
municipal facilities to supplement their energy needs and
potentially sell power to the grid;
d) THAT the Region recommends that in developing Ontario's
Long-Term Energy Plan, the Province should conduct a more
integrated evaluation of:
i) the economic, environmental, community and land use
impacts of a particular mix of energy sources (hydro,
nuclear, gas, wind; solar biomass, etc.);
ii) the mix of energy facility sizes and locations that will lead to
a resilient supply system; and
iii) the costs and environmental impacts of the
transmission/distribution systems associated with the

policy, the Province recognizes the importance of affordable,
reliable energy coupled with reduction in greenhouse gases as
important determinants of human health, community well-being
and environmental protection;
f) THAT with respect to safeguarding drinking water sources, the
Region recommends that the Province ensure that energy
projects not introduce significant drinking water threats into an
intake protection zone or wellhead protection area. Any

dewatering wells or geothermal installations should be regulated
under O.Reg. 903);
Summary of Correspondence - 8 - September 30, 2013

j) THAT with respect to the voluntary Municipal Energy Plan
(MEP) Program, the Region recommends that the program be
amended to extend provincial funding, resources and technical
support to upper-tier municipalities to complement MEP funding
provided to lower-tier municipalities since upper-tier
municipalities may be required to acquire new technical
expertise to provide input to these comprehensive plans;
k) THAT the Region recommends that the Province works with the
Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) to consult
municipalities about the appropriate valuation of traditional and
alternative energy installations (e.g. nuclear plants, wind
turbines) through the property assessment system to fairly
represent the value of the facilities;
1) THAT the Province be advised that the Region shares the views
of the plans for nuclear refurbishments and nuclear replacement
build in the 2010 Long Term Energy Plan as well founded and
which should continue to be implemented; and

3. Items[Updates
Litter Pick-up
With the advent of the salmon fishing season on the Wilmot Creek.there has been a
large increase in litter at the mouth of the creek and along the edge of the creek,
primarily on the east side. Brian Reid reported that he did a litter pick up earlier in the
week and that there was a lot of litter piled next to the garbage container in the Toronto
Street parking lot. Operations had already picked-up that garbage by the time of the
meeting. Karin Murphy also did a litter pick-up in the Cobbledick side earlier in the
week.
On Monday September 16 at 5:30PM committee members will be meeting at the
Toronto Street Parking lot to do another litter pick-up.
After the fishing season is completed, around the end of October, another litter pick-up
will be arranged with the same anglers group that has helped the past two years. The
date and time will be announced at the October meeting.
Brian Reid suggested that two more 45 gallon drums could be installed on a temporary
basis at the barrier beach during fishing season. He would make sure they are emptied
on a regular basis. A request will be made for Operations to supply two additional 45
gallon drums.
Birds Of Prey re-cap
Mountsberg Wildlife Centre was retained to do an on-site presentation about native
raptors on June I 5th. Several committee members attended along with about 70
members of the public.
All agreed that the presentation was excellent but it went on a little too long to maintain
the interest of younger children. If the event is done again we will ask the presenter to
limit the presentation to 45-60 minutes.
Scavenger Hunt-September 21
At the April meeting the committee agreed to host a scavenger hunt to help raise
awareness of the SWNA and promote environmental stewardship. The scavenger hunt
has been designed for young children. A list of items has been determined for children
to locate and check-off on a sheet that will be handed out to participants. A prize will
be handed out to all participants at the end of the hunt. Potential prizes could include,
bird seed, SWNA button, environmentally themed colouring book. Staff will look into
acquiring a suitable prize for participants.
Participants will be given 45 minutes for the hunt which will be followed by a
presentation by Pam Lancaster, the GRCA Stewardship Co-ordinator.
Advertisements for the event have been posted around the SWNA and on the
Clarington web site.
SWNA Septomber*2013 Minute:
It was recommended that the event should be advertised on the Clarington page of the
newspaper. Peter Windolf will follow-up on the request.
Bird House Removal
A date will be established after the Scavenger Hunt for the removal of birdhouses. The
date will be e-mailed to committee members prior to the October meeting.
Pat Mulcahy Resignation
Pat will be moving to Oshawa and will be resigning from the committee following the
Scavenger Hunt event that she helped organize. Brian Reid thanked Pat for her years of
commitment to the SWNA and wished her well in the future.
The committee discussed the merits of having the vacant position filled considering
there is only one year left in the term of the committee and that there are no applications
on file.
Members agreed that the position should be filled. The Clerk's office will be asked to
advertise and fill the position for the remainder of the term.
Signage
Two signs need to be re-installed. The wetland Habitat sign leading to the Cobbledick
side viewing platform and the No Hunting sign by the barrier beach have both been
knocked over. Operations will be asked to re-erect the signs.
4.-Other Business
Melanie reported that a cyclist fell on the hill leading to the pedestrian bridge. It was
recommended that a warning sign be installed at the top of the hill on the east side of
the bridge. Unless it has been removed there already is a sign at that location. Michael
speculated that the gravel trail may need to be compacted at this location. The site will
be investigated to determine the condition of the trail and if the sign is still there.
Jim and Karin reported that there is a washout on the Lake Meadow Trail at the location
of the new culvert(about half way to the lake).
It was also reported that the grass was not being cut very frequently in 2013 along the
edges of the trail. In 2012 it was done regularly but this year it was allowed to grow
very high before it was cut. Operations will be advised of the committees concerns.

PRESENTATIONS
Barn Book Proiect
Jayne Salisbury, Barn Book Project Volunteer, spoke about her experiences visiting
participating property owners' barns. A letter went out to just under 600 barn owners in
July and approximately 100 owners responded to indicate they would be willing to
participate in the barn inventory/publication project. Jayne indicated that there had been
a positive response from all participants she had visited and that they were more than
willing to share information about their barns and their.history. While there are similar
elements to each barn, especially with regard to the interiors, each barn is also quite
unique. She noted it takes approximately an hour toan hour and a half to do each visit
and that it can be done more quickly if there is more than one person going out — one to
do the surveying and the other to do the photographing: They are still looking for
volunteers to assist with the property visits..Tenzin and Councillor Hooper also spoke
about their own experiences assisting in the project. It was mentioned that NVDHS has
a video of the Pollard barn being built.

NEW BUSINESS
Historic Tours Update
There are several tours (walking/driving) available on the Heritage Committee website
and they are quite popular. The Tourism office has also asked for additional copies of
the tours that have been provided to them. Two older tours circa 1980 are in need of
updating so that they can also be added to the website. Scanned copies are available
for any volunteers to work on (e.g. take the tour and update the information). Allan will
pass along the tours to NVDHS to work on updating the Newcastle portions.
In addition to the tours on the Heritage Website, the" Museum offers guided walking
tours of Orono, Bowmanville, and Bowmanville.Cemetery.for a small fee periodically. It
was suggested that Tourism could explore attaching QR Codes to the stops on tours in
the future as this is being done in other jurisdictions for events such_as Doors Open.
Baker Farm 4th Concession Property Preservation Proiect
A student at Willowbank, a heritage, restoration/preservation school which teaches the
old arts of building and construction, approached the;municipality about salvaging items
from the 407 for restoration of a property on-
the 4th concession that was damaged by
fire a few years ago. Though the request came in after the meeting that was held for
interested property owners the MTO`has made accommodations for the project. The
property is not designated but could potentially.be in'the future. It was suggested that
the student be approached to` do a presentation or a tour for the Committee on her
project.
Orono Town Hall
A while back the doors on Orono:Town Hall were replaced with doors that contained
arched windows at the top, 'which had,been ordered and agreed to by the Orono Town
Hall Board While many residents prefer the look of the old doors (without the arched
windows), they are .no longer in a usable condition. Operations have tried to salvage
them but they are too, deteriorated. The newer doors are now quite weathered. The
Operations Department has indicated that the doors are in need of maintenance and
they will be painting the doors a hunter green colour.

Welcome and introductions.
Review of the minutes of the last meeting.
Review of Heritage Week 2013:
At the last meeting it was decided that the preferred direction for Heritage Week 2014 was to
broaden community engagement (approach the School Boards and OPG), focus more on inside
activities due to weather at this time of year and to build on successes from last year such as
the movie night, book sales, and family day activities.
Planning for Heritage Week 2014
Heritage Day is February 17, 2014 (Family Day) and Heritage Week will be taking place the week
of February 17-23rd, 2014.
Barn Book Project (Faye/Kristy)
The Clarington Heritage Committee has recently embarked on a barn inventory and publication
project focused on barns and agricultural out-buildings erected earlier than 1940. This project
has garnered a lot of interest from the agricultural community with approximately 100 property
owners participating by allowing access to their property for a working group to photograph
their barns and by sharing some of the history of the property and the barn through stories and
older photographs. The 407 construction has also been a catalyst for this project as several
barns have been demolished in the path of the highway. The working group was able to visit
and photograph these properties before their demolition.
1
There was general consensus that a good theme for 2014 would be Clarington's Agricultural
Heritage. Having a theme will more easily enable people to get on board with participating in
Heritage Week. For example, downtown merchants could have agricultural themed window
displays. It was also suggested that a celebration of the 20th(Clarington) and 401h (Town of
Newcastle) anniversaries might also play a role in the week and that the 4-H and local
horticultural groups might be engaged in the week.
Bowmanville B.I.A(Ron Hooper)
It was suggested that the Van Stone Mill along with the miller's house and the building where
Tim's Rentals is could be a feature of Heritage Week 2014 as they are the oldest buildings
downtown and serve as a gateway to Downtown Bowmanville. Questions arose around
whether part of the Mill where the feed business used to be could be used for Heritage Week.
Another idea was the possibility of having themed letters throughout Clarington —which would
spell out Clarington and could be focused around the agricultural theme This was recently done
in Orillia with crows.
CHC(Angela)
Based on last year's success, the CHC would be happy to organize another Film Night. It was
suggested that the Film Night could take place in the Council Chambers and that there could be
one or more screenings of local films such as the ones on Newcastle and Bowmanville that have
been shown in the past.
Abandoned Cemeteries (Patti)
Could prepare a display on family plots in the Countryside with some photos to be taken this
Fall for display at the Film Night.
Clarington A.C.O (Bernice)
The ACO would like to partner with some of the other groups to put up their display panels
during the week. They would be willing to do a brief presentation about their agricultural
interests and more generally about the ACO at one or more of the Film Nights planned for the
week. It was also suggested that Camp 30's agricultural history be promoted.
Clarington Museum (Julia)
The Museum is planning on doing a Family Tree activity on Family Day and also possibly a
create your own family crest art activity as well. It was suggested that one way of tying this
activity to the agricultural heritage theme is to also pose the question of finding their own
particular link to agriculture in their family tree (Farmer, Agricultural Implement Maker, Miller).
2
NVDHS (Tenzin)
NVDHS has screened movies in the past which have been popular. They will look into which
movies they have available and whether hosting a movie night at the Community Hall would-be
feasible. It was suggested that a focus for Newcastle be the Massey history.
Visual Arts Centre (Dionne)
The idea of an artist contest/tour to various sites to paint the properties was brought up
followed by a competition where the public would vote on the best painting. VAC art displays
for Heritage Week are also possible for the MAC and the Library Mezzanine. Some of the art
might focus on barns or the agricultural theme.
A Gift of Art (Emily)
A Gift of Art is considering planning a studio activity for the week which could use the
agricultural heritage theme. They could also put out a notice to their artists about Heritage
Week and the theme so that they have some pieces related to agriculture in their gallery for the
Week.
Promotion
- Veridian has confirmed that they will be replacing the Heritage Week Banner at their
cost for this year.
- It was decided not to use the Post Cards this year but to stick with Posters. These can
be designed in-house by the Communications Department using local artist Todd
Tremeer's artwork from last year or other works.
- It was suggested that Durham Tourism be engaged in helping to promote Heritage Week
(one avenue is through Kerry King's column in Metroland).
- Applefest would be a good venue to promote Heritage Week 2014—the ACO, Museum,
and B.I.A will have booths and could put "save-the-date" material out.
- The municipal website, heritage website, and social media will also be utilized to
promote the week. A final list of activities for the week will be needed by December at
the latest in order to have them included on the Community Calendar.

Erin O'Toole provided an overview.of_his accomplishments and commitmentto_agriculture over_
his first 0-months-in office -
Highlights included: -
- Agriculture is a top priority for Clarington and is the fabric of our heritage and culture.
- The Federal Government runs the Canadian Summer Jobs for Youth program. The MP
can set local priorities.This past summer they were agriculture and agri-tourism,
tourism, and municipal and cultural organizations.
- Recently he attended the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers Tour which was held in
Clarington. He believes that value-added is a huge win and is looking to support more of
this type of growth in the agricultural sector in Clarington.
- He attended a meeting in Nestleton regarding a Federal Abattoir for Durham. Most large
chain grocers only use the Federal Abattoirs so that they have one consistent standard
across the country. Having a Federal Abattoir locally would also enable access to the
growing ethnic market in the GTA. Erin has pledged his support for the facility if the
producers want it. Producers will need to make a substantial investment in order to make
it viable.
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington September 12th, 2013
Erin also met with the Durham Dairy Farmers regarding a major trade negotiation that
will allow access to the European market.
The Federal Government has assisted with providing funding for accessibility upgrades
for the Orono Fair. Erin also attended the many fairs that took place across Durham
Region and is happy that the Orono Fair is still largely agriculturally-focused.
Questions that arose were:
• The best way of getting in touch -through his Executive Assistant, Cheryl, who runs both
the Bowmanville and the Ottawa offices. Response should be prompt unless the House
is sitting in which case there could be a bit of a delay. His email address is:
erin.otoole(cDparl.gc.ca
• Whether he knew anything about a recent court casein the US on the labelling of beef
and country of origin. He had not heard anything about this but did know that there are
challenges in particular with Alberta Beef of the'Angus variety as the type of feed used is
banned in Europe.
Should the Committee pass any motions related to federal legislation, they will send a copy to
Erin.
Countryside Discussion Paper
The Countryside Discussion Paper was,the last installment.of discussion papers released by the
Planning Department,for the Official Plan update.The paper was released in August and public
information centers were held,in Mitchell Corners, the Orono Fair and Tyrone. Faye provided a
presentation summarizing fhe five key themes.in the paper which were:
1) The merging of Prime Agriculture and General Agriculture Designations
2) Accessory and Secondary Uses
3) Major recreational uses such as golf courses
4) Rural Settlements and Housing -population change, retirement lots, estate subdivisions; and
5) Urban/rural fringe and whitebelt lands
Both the Greenbelt Plan and the Durham Region Official Plan will undergo review in 2015.
Faye is collecting.feedback and would like both individual and collective feedback before the
end of September.'A large Official.Plan Amendment is anticipated for the fall with public
meetings for February..,.
Business Arising from Minutes
Official Plan Review—As presented.
Secondary Uses —A sub-committee was struck at the last meeting to further investigate
and discuss the evaluation criteria. Ted, Tom, Brenda and Jenny agreed to be a part of
this group and they will meet with Faye over the next month to discuss now that the
Public Information Centers are complete. Faye will send out an email with the meeting
date, time, and location to the entire committee in case anyone else would like to join in
the discussion.
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington September 12th 2013
Orono Fair Display - As usual, the Committee's display was up in the Agricultural
Building and received positive response. The display will likely need updating for next
year.
Correspondence and Council Referrals
None.
Liaison Reports
DAAC — DAAC has not met since the last meeting but they did host their annual tour which was
successful. At their last meeting they had a presentation on the Pickering Airport Lands for
which the lands have been held since the 1970s. There:are approximately 18,000 acres. 5,000
of those acres will be going to the Rouge National Park and approximately 4,000 went out for
public consultation to determine the best use of those_ lands. Erin Q'Toole is hoping for some of
the lands to be allocated to agricultural uses_ or value-added uses like processing. A needs
assessment has shown that an airport in that area is likely not a possibility until 2028-2037.
Consequently, long term agricultural leases are an option. However some lands have been
fallow for many years so it may take a lot of work to.get them.;back into shape for production.
October 24th is Durham Region Day,at Queen's Park;:_
DRFA — DRFA has not met since the;last`meeting but they have been proceeding with their
agricultural education strategy and attended the,DAAC Tour. ,(attendance was approx. 100),
Orono Fair, etc. At the Orono Fair, they saw roughly 600 kids (grade 3) on Friday and then were
also quite busy on Sunday.
CBOT— CBOT is trying,to develop a directory, of all farming activities in Clarington to provide to
interested persons. They are still in the process of determining how much information is
required for this directory
CBOT discussed the ;1"emporary-Use Rezoning Application to allow camping on agricultural
lands related to activities at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. While they see many economic
development and tourism positives to allowing the use, they did not make any endorsements as
they didn't want to weigh into land use issues.
CBOT discussed' conversion of whitebelt lands to greenbelt. They felt was a positive step but
might potentially be.opposed by developers with land holdings in the whitebelt.
The Mayor will be holding his annual address in Newcastle on September 271H
Future Agendas
Update on the progress of the EFW facility (Covanta), Ontario Farmland Trust Presentation,
Summer Clarington Passport for Farm Markets, etc.
Other Business
Use of agriculture land for camping - It was mentioned that the lands are really not viable for
agricultural after use as temporary campgrounds due to the garbage left behind which poses the
risk of damage to farm equipment and cattle (in the bales). Camping limits the field to only one
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington September 12th, 2013
crop which would be hay. No second cut came off as the event manager had already mowed
the field without communicating with the farmer who had rented the land. The camping is
limiting the agricultural use of the land.
Barn Book Project—The Clarington Heritage Committee has embarked on an inventory of barns
older than 1940 with the long-term goal of creating a publication on Barns in Clarington. A letter
went out to 600 barn owners in late July and approximately 100 owners have offered to
participate in, the project by allowing access to their property for the working group to
photograph and collect information on the barns and their.history. The Heritage Week Working
Group also met recently and have decided on the theme of Clarington's Agricultural History for
Heritage Week 2014 which will take place the 3`d week of February. They are seeking
involvement from 4-H.
Atlas Salesman —There is a salesman touring the countryside:approaching property owners
about inclusion on a new version of the Belden Atlas. There are, varying price points for
inclusion but they start around $400.
Don Rickard moved for Adjournment.

Advisory Committee
4. NEW BUSINESS
(a) Newcastle Branch, Clarington Public Library—Accessibility Issue
The Committee members reviewed the installation of the security gates at
the main entrance of the library, as a concern has been raised that they
may have impacted the accessibility features. It was agreed that the
gates, as they currently are installed, do impede the access to the
automatic door opener. The Municipal Clerk will speak with the Library
staff and determine if the security panels can be moved further apart in
order to move them away from the push button.
(b) Tax Area, Municipal Administrative Centre —Accessibility Improvements
The Municipal Clerk advised that the Finance Department will be
presenting a report to Council recommending alterations to the Tax
Department customer service area. When the drawings are available,
they will be reviewed by the Committee for their input into the accessibility
features.
(c) Washrooms in Retail Stores
John O'Toole has advised the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing of
a concern of one of his constituents who had an experience in which their
six-year-old daughter was refused access to a washroom in a retail store.
It appears that public washrooms are required in the Building Code, but
access to the washrooms is not enforced once the building is completed
and a retail store is open. The Minister has confirmed that following
occupancy of a building the Building Code has no impact on policies
individual retail companies may choose to implement regarding public or
customer access to store washrooms and suggested that the constituents
may wish to contact the store owner or their local municipal councillor with
their concerns. This matter will be reviewed with the Chief Building Official
and will be discussed at the next meeting.
(d) Accessible Documents
The Municipal Clerk advised that a presentation has been made to the
Management staff of the Municipality on the requirement and the need for
the implementation of accessible documents. A working committee is
being formed to review all documents that the Municipality creates in order
to ensure they are in an accessible format.

REPORT NO.: LGL-009-13 PAGE 2
1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 At its meeting on September 16, 2013, Council referred Correspondence Item D-
9 (a letter from Martin D. Gerkes dated August 7, 2013) to staff for a report. A
copy of this letter is attached to this Report (Attachment 1).
1.2 In his letter, Mr. Gerkes has requested that Council amend Development
Charges By-law No. 2010-058 (the "DC By-law") in order to "transfer ...
demolition rights" from property that is being expropriated by MTO (4726 Rundle
Road) for purposes of the future 407 extension to another property (3700 Maple
Grove Road). A Location Map showing both properties is attached to this Report
(Attachment 2).
1.3 The Gerkes property is one of the many properties that has been or will be
acquired or expropriated by MTO for purposes of the 407. MTO is required to
follow and apply all of the requirements of the Expropriations Act if it is unable to
reach an agreement with affected property owners on issues such as
compensation.
1.4 The circumstances described by Mr. Gerkes are not unique. Staff are aware of
at least 4 similar situations involving MTO expropriations for the 407 Highway.
Staff are also aware of a similar situation involving an acquisition by Central Lake
Ontario Conservation Authority.
1.5 The correspondence from Mr. Gerkes raises expropriation issues and
development charges issues. Both will be addressed in this Report.
2.0 DISCUSSION
Development Charges
2.1 Under Section 22 of the DC By-law, no development charges would be payable if
the existing house at 4726 Rundle Road was demolished and a new house
reconstructed on the same property. Essentially, the total amount of the
development charges otherwise payable is offset by a demolition credit in
situations where an existing building or structure is demolished in order to permit
redevelopment on the same property. The credit will be given if demolition takes
place within 5 years of the date that the redevelopment takes place. The credit is
given on the theory that there will not be any increase in the need for Municipal
services if what is built effectively replaces what was previously located on the
same property.
2.2 Because the DC By-law does not allow demolition credits to be transferred from
one property to another, development charges would be payable if a new home
is constructed at 3700 Maple Grove Road. If a building permit was issued today
for a single-detached dwelling at 3700 Maple Grove Road, the development
charges would be as follows:
REPORT NO.: LGL-009-13 PAGE 3
Clarington $15,518
Region of Durham * 9,966
Public School Board 994
Separate School Board 120
Total 26 598
This figure does not include any amounts for water supply
($7,246) or sanitary sewerage ($8,365) because these
services are not available at 3700 Maple Grove Road.
2.3 Council does not have the ability to waive or amend any portion of the Regional
development charge ($9,966). Council only has the ability to deal with the local
and school board development charges which total $16,632. Staff's
understanding is the Mr. Gerkes has requested relief from the Region for the
Regional development charges.
2.4 As stated above, the DC By-law only allows demolition credits in situations where
redevelopment occurs (on the same property) - it does not allow for credits to be
transferred to the development of a different property. The reason for this is that
even in situations where the number and type of dwelling units that are
demolished on one property is the same as the number and type of dwellings that
are constructed on a different property, there may be an increase in the need for
services. This is fundamental to the position of the Municipality on the appeal of
the DC By-law that is currently before the Ontario Municipal Board. Our position
on the appeal is that "excess capacity" for a particular service in one part of our
geographically diverse municipality (with 4 separate urban areas) will not
necessarily be used by residents in other parts of the Municipality. A second
reason underpinning the position of the Development Charges By-law revolves
around the future use of any portion of the property where the demolition is
occurring. In general, if a transfer of the credit is permitted and in future
redevelopment occurs on the original site, the demolition credit would no longer
be available.
Expropriations Act
2.5 Staff's understanding is that Mr. and Mrs. Gerkes are represented by legal
counsel who has a great deal of experience in dealing with expropriation matters,
but that the issue of compensation has not yet been resolved. In his letter, Mr.
Gerkes has indicated that there is a fundamental disagreement with the MTO
regarding the appropriate level of compensation under the Expropriation Act.
2.6 Under the Expropriations Act, compensation is payable to an owner whose land
has been expropriated based upon several heads of damage, most notably the
market value of the land. Staff are not aware of any head of damage under the
Expropriations Act that requires an expropriating authority to directly compensate
an owner for development charges paid to construct a new home. Indirectly,
REPORT NO.: LGL-009-13 PAGE 4
development charges are factors that are considered when comparing property
values in order to determine the fair market value of the expropriated land. If
appropriate compensation has been provided for the home being demolished,
this would, in theory, represent the cost to replace the current residential status.
It is generally accepted that the construction of a new home incorporates the
development charges fee as part of the ultimate cost.
3.0 CONCLUSIONS
3.1 The DC By-law does not allow demolition credits to be transferred from one
property to another primarily for reason set out in Section 2.4 of this Report.
3.2 Whether or not the Expropriations Act requires expropriating authorities to
compensate land owners for development charges in situations like this is a
matter to be determined in accordance with the Expropriations Act.
3.3 Whether development charges are payable under the DC By-law has no legal
relationship to the issue of compensation under the Expropriations Act.
3.4 In the opinion of staff, it would be inappropriate for Council to amend the DC By-
law in order to make up for any perceived deficiencies in expropriation process.
This would effectively have the Municipality subsidizing some of MTO's 407
expropriations. Any amendments, such as the one made by Council for heritage
homes, should promote a broader public interest to the municipality as a whole.
3.5 If Council nonetheless wishes to amend the DC By-law, it is recommended that
staff be directed to process an amendment that meets the procedural
requirements (including notice) of the Development Charges Act, 1997. It is also
recommended that any such amendment not be linked to the 407 or any other
expropriation, but rather that it be focused on the issue of transferring demolition
credits in situations where there clearly will not be an increase in the need for
services. This would be very important in order to limit future implications.
4.0 CONCURRENCE
4.1 The Director of Finance, Director of Engineering Services and Acting Director of
Planning Services concur with the recommendation in this Report.
CONFORMITY WITH STRATEGIC PLAN — Not applicable.

I aDl writing tD request 8Oamend h1OOS rights iO order for
them tD be made transferable. ---'--�
I8[O making 'this request for 8D amendment to-the existing bylaw because Of2Oimpending
expropriation, bVthe Ministry «f Transportation, Of our home and property, located 8t472G
Rundle Road, in HaDlDtOD' Ontario.
Through DO fault Of our own, our home and property are being taken from US 'O order t0
facilitate the construction Of8 link highway between the 4Di East and 407 East extension. We
have owned this iO acre property since i964. UV8 erected 8 custom built home OOthis
property between 1974 —i976' and have resided 8t this location ever since. IO addition tUthe
house, VV8 have established 8 viable, commercial orchard OD the property, aS well 8Scold
storages and equipment outbuildings. We have always paid our taxes, and have never been iO
8[[8G[S. Our farm business has provided employment for local people 8S well 8Sinjecting
revenue into the local economy.
The reason for our request for this amendment has tOdO with the demolition Of the existing
residence UD472G Rundle Road, 8 demolition that will h8 enacted bV the M.T.O.
UDf8rtUO8t8lV' the M.T.O. is taking the 8Ot}F8 D[OD8dn' VVh'0h |8aV8S our family no ODtiUD of re-
building the hODl8 on the S8Ol8 site.
W9 do, however, own 8 nearby farm property, and 8S such, VV8would like tO construct 8
F8DlaC8[D8Ot hODl8 OD this other D[OD9dm. I [DUSt 8DlDhaSiZ8 that this hODl8 will be a
' replacemen for the current dwelling that VV8 have had taken from us.
I understand that ifVY8 were tO apply for 8 building permit tO erect 8 home OO the second
property, located 8t37OO Maple Grove Road, development fees would h8 charged against this
OODSt[UCtiOO. IVV'ShtO8SkfO[8O8XC8DtiODtOfhiS. 8SitiSOU[COOt8DtiUOth8tSiDO8OU[f8Dli)V
has been long-time residents Of the area, and has dutifully paid our taxes, iD addition tO
providing other revenue streams tO the local economy, that consideration hG made concerning
our forced diSDl8C8Dl8Ot.
In the spirit of the EXD[OD[i8t`OO Act, there is call for "8OU'V8|8O[ R}-iOSt8t8[D8Ot". Contrary to
this COOC8Dt' the M.T.O. has 'Od'C8t8d that it would not be li8h\8 for the [8iDlhU[S8Dl8Ot Of
development fees; additionally, the M.T.O.'S interpretation Of "market value" differs drastically
from the actual real and true market value of property. These positions place us at a distinct
disadvantage, and as such, I am requesting that our demolition rights —guaranteed on our
original property of 4726 Rundle Road — be transferred to our property located at 3700 Maple
Grove Road.
Again, I must emphasize that the home to be built at 3700 Maple Grove Road is strictly a
replacement of the home that is being taken from us on Rundle Road. It is not in addition to
that structure.
Given these details, I respectfully ask that due consideration be given to the transfer of our
demotion rights, and that this request be placed as an item of concern on the Fall 2013 agenda
of your governing body. I sincerely hope that your governing body will do the right thing, and
allow this amendment to be granted. We, and families like us, should be allowed our municipal
rights, permitting these rights to be transferred as we attempt to re-establish ourselves within
the area, without the burden of development fees, as we have paid taxes in the municipality for
many years.
I look forward to hearing from you with regard to the processing of my request. Should further
information be required to process this request, please advise me immediately, and I will then
do my best to provide whatever is needed to expedite this process.
Finally, I would like to be informed of the date and time this request for amendment will be
presented to Council, as I would like to attend this meeting and make myself available should
there be questions.
Sincerely,
Martin D. Gerkes

While St. Marys operations results in off site impacts, most are below regulatory
requirements. St. Marys continues to work to reduce impacts and to provide information on
their efforts to reduce impacts to the Community Relations Committee.
St. Marys Community Relations Committee provides a forum for information sharing and
dialogue. However, the Committee's effectiveness is limited by community participation.
The Community Relations Committee recommends that:

combustion device, such as a secondary chamber of a conventional two-stage
incinerator with the data being fed into a computerized control loop to ensure good
combustion control. The instruments that monitor process parameters are expected to
be part of a system that can adjust the operation of the facility in order to ensure the
operation remains within the acceptable operating envelope determined during
commencement of operation and initial performance testing.
3,2 Continuously Monitored Parameters
Parameters that will be considered for-continuous monitoring include:
• temperature
• organic matter
• carbon monoxide
• residual oxygen
• volumetric flow rate of the flue gas
• hydrogen chloride
• sulphur dioxide
• nitrogen oxides
• opacity
• particulate matter
Other parameters that may also be considered for continuous or long-term monitoring
include:
o, carbon dioxide
0 hydrogen fluoride
® mercury
e dioxins and furans
Proponents for municipal waste thermal treatment facilities are advised to carefully
consider the purpose of each monitor when preparing applications for Certificates of
Approval such that appropriate monitoring requirements can be set out as a condition of
approval. When monitoring of a certain parameter is considered advantageous, the
intent of the monitor may be implemented either by installing a device for direct
measurement of the parameter or of a suitable surrogate.
Final selection of required analyzers will be determined on a case by case basis at the
tune of review of the application for a Certificate of Approval. For instance, it may not
14

Ontario Ministry of Environment Guideline A-7
be essential to include continuous monitoring devices for both organic matter as well as
carbon monoxide since these parameters are used as performance indicators of the
combustion process. It is noted, however, that there is not always a direct correlation
between the two parameters and that carbon monoxide may be the simpler parameter
to monitor but that organic matter is the parameter which has a limit also in Ontario
Regulation 419/05, Additionally, dedicated continuous monitoring of sulphur dioxide
may not be necessary if hydrogen chloride is monitored continuously and the control
method for hydrogen chloride ensures control of sulphur dioxide as well,
Where opacity monitoring is problematic due to a saturated plume, consideration may
be given for installing the opacity monitor before the wet pollution control device if the
main particulate collection device is dry and located before the wet device,
Alternatively, opacity may be monitored in a heated slip stream. Another option is to
install a continuous particulate matter monitor instead of an opacity monitor, The
Ministry encourages the use of high sensitivity continuous particulate matter monitoring
systems over opacity monitoring since particulate emissions have a direct
environmental impact. Owners and operators may not be required to install an opacity
monitor if the thermal treatment facility is equipped with a continuous particulate matter
monitor,
Proponents for thermal treatment of municipal waste are encouraged to explore
technical developments with respect to continuous or long-term sampling/monitoring
techniques and consider installation of such devices for measurement of emissions of
mercury and dioxins/furans. Methods such as Adsorption Method for Sampling of
Dioxins and Furans (AMESA) can provide information on the ongoing performance of,
as well as emission trends at a thermal treatment facility to support evaluation of the
facility performance year round.
Owners and operators of thermal treatment facilities may also be able to monitor a
variety of other parameters periodically, continuously or on a long-term basis to support
the results of source testing and/or to provide better data on annual emissions. For
instance, where a continuous or longterm monitoring system provides samples for
measurement of one pollutant, it may be possible to periodically analyze these same
samples for quantification of other pollutants, e.g. a filter catch of particulate matter
could also be analyzed for a variety of metals.
The onus on ensuring good performance, based on best practices in the municipal
waste thermal treatment field, and compliance with the regulations and all conditions
included in the facility's Certificate of Approval, lies with the owner and operator of the
thermal treatment facility. Therefore it is the responsibility of those persons to
incorporate the appropriate continuous control and monitoring systems in the design of
the facility and to provide justification for the selection or omission of equipment while
ensuring that sufficient safeguards are in place to ensure good performance at all times,
An application for a Certificate of Approval is expected to include a detailed proposal for
a monitoring and control system.
