2.3 On October 1, 2013, Clarington Planning Staff met with the owners of the subject
property at their home to discuss their concerns. At this meeting, one of the concerns
of the owners was that over the years they had found that some of the architectural
features listed in the designating heritage by-law were not in fact original to the home.
Information and options for amending the designation were provided by Planning
Services Staff to the owners. As follow up to the meeting the owners were provided
with information on their zoning, land division and heritage designations to further
clarify questions that were raised at the meeting.
2.4 On November 1, 2013, a letter was received by the Planning Services Department
from the owners requesting repeal of the designating by-law for the property
(Attachment 2).

following resolution:
"THAT the CHC does not feel there is good reason to remove the
heritage designation on 210 King Avenue West. They would be
willing to work with the owner to determine which features should be
kept as listed features in the by-law schedule should the owners
decide to seek changes to their designating by-law."
4.2 The Clarington Heritage Committee and Council have approved changes and
modifications for other designated properties. Upgrades such as those the owners,
made reference to in their letter, including floors, windows, walls, and insulation are
common requests which have been received and approved.
4.3 During the 1980's and 1990's the Provincial government offered grants to designated.
properties, however the province withdrew this funding in 1995. In 2013, Clarington
Council approved the development of a Heritage Incentive Grant Program to assist
designated property owners in funding works to designated heritage features and
structural improvements to ensure the long term viability of Clarington's heritage
resources. This program does not limit designated property owners from applying for a
grant for other works in subsequent years.
4.4 Also in 2013, Clarington Council delegated the approval for minor heritage alterations to
the Director of Planning Services in consultation with the Clarington Heritage Committee
in order to streamline the process for heritage alterations and avoid unnecessary
delays.
4.5 While the owners have discovered over time that some of the listed architectural
features of the home are not original to the building, there are many architectural
features listed that are worthy of protection under the Ontario Heritage Act. In addition,
the social and cultural history of the property is of significance when determining the
historical value of the home.
4.6 The Newcastle Village and District Historical Society were consulted on the social and
cultural history of the property and indicated they would not support the repeal of the
designation because of the connection the home has to the early founders of
Newcastle.
4.7 The Clarington Heritage Committee has indicated a willingness to work with the owners
to amend the list of architectural features and address the owners wish to make
changes to the property. The Committee has worked successfully with many other
$_4 designated heritage property owners.
REPORT NO.: PSD-006-14 PAGE 5
4.8 Clarington Council has in one other case repealed a heritage designation by-law, for 21-
23 King Street East in Bowmanville (PSD-103-08). This structure had extensive damage
resulting from the fire of March 2008, and was ordered demolished by the Chief Building
Official for structural safety reasons.
5. CONCURRENCE — Not Applicable
6. CONCLUSION
6.1 Designation of properties under the Ontario Heritage Act is a tool available to
municipalities to preserve and protect properties deemed to be of cultural heritage
(architectural, cultural, and social) value or interest in perpetuity.
6.2 The Clarington Heritage Committee and Staff do not recommend repeal of the
designating heritage by-law,while some of the features listed have been determined to
not be original this is not a compelling reason to remove heritage designation.

Named "the Hollows" by once owner and resident of Newcastle Village, Major David
Bennett, this structure incorporates elements from separate periods of the 19th
century. The lot which accommodates the building, was part of a Crown grant to
Captain John McGill, who sold it in 1801 to Robert Baldwin, one of Clarke Township's
earliest settlers. The oldest section of the frame house dates from the 1830s and it is
located behind a two storey Edwardian addition, which was constructed by a
Newcastle master carpenter names Pool in the early 1900s. Significant to the Village
of Newcastle, the following architectural features are recommended for designation
under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act:
Exterior -the frame facade
- the two storey L-shaped verandah
-the original 2 over 2 sash windows and storms
- the two 20 paned windows and large paned windows with storms

(designated heritage property)
Aber careful conskfemduri Anu and I are requesting apprrnrl for the delisting of our 210 ling
Ave. W, home from the registry of heritage homes in Clarington.
The following account hem saffm in0ght into our dectuim;
We returned to Canada from a year in the U.S. In 1994 and purchased M King Ave. M in
Newcastle. It was being soles by the bank under power of sale and had been derelict for two
years. The iist of deficiencies offered by a home inspeetlan company was.approximately 6 pages
long outlining major needs like replacing the wrap-around porch(two stories),galvanized gripes
and Mob and tube wiring; a complete gutting of the itttchen; numerous wTndoW issues etc. The
house had also suffered frost damage to the foundation. We moved to Newcastle with a
gargantuan job ahead of us but with much enthusiasm,
I joined L.A.C.A.C.at a time when Isobel was the liaison with the Municipality,and members
Included Torre Berry,Bill Patterson,Janie Dodds,John 47oole and others. At the time I was an
unemployed history teacher doing"suppV'Work, I was caught tip In the enthusiasm of"owning"
a part of this historical town, but had little experience with process. T was encouraged to register
my home,by Toe committee,with the Incentive that there was a $3,000 grant available(upon
approval)to restore a home suds as ours. Particularly appealing was the comment, in
committee, that registrants weren't restricted to a one-time request but could come back to
committee for subsequent,attributable honor restorations. My wife, who was reticent to
encumber our home,was"worn over^by the financial bener'it,and we registered our home,
The same year we placed the house on the registry the grants were withdrawn. We received
none of the grant money that sp wred us to sign up. $0.00
In the intervening years,every tirne we had to consider an upgrade to floors,windows,or walls,
for things like insulation,I have had to"defend",to my wIM, my resolve to list our home. At the
same time there was the mitigating embarrassment of riot wanting to take up my concerns with
my aswciotes at I..A.C.A,C.,suggesting th1at my drier`motive for listing our hone rimy have b"n
for the grant money.
Quits simply,the regist aq tion was not what it was represented to be for my wife and T. It has
taken us over fifteerl years to accomplish,by ourselves,the restoration work on our home.
There are other frustrations, some of which are attributed to th�e registration of our horn and
some which accrue to the faa th6t 9711/4 of our home is considered to be on the flow plain and
therefore tinder the scrutiny of Ganaraska Authority. We have expo'ienced tl-e doubling Effect of
Me Munidpality's restrictive controls on both Our house(governed by the Her•{tage Reaglstry)as
well.as our property(governed by the Ganawf a Authority).The Ganaraska restrictions cost us
over$3,D00 in an aborted attempt to sever the spare lot we have tothe west of our home six
years ago. We want to live with the same freedorn of expression that our neighbours have and
make dKisions unencumbered by the additional bylaws associated with a designation.
When we tried to sell our home six years ago we had"zero"offers. Deal estate said that ifs
heritage designation was a disincentive to home buyers.
8-8
it is impossible to express in words,on paper,the feeliN5 of behg¢verwhelMed,over tune. But
that's exWly where we ar'e. We do love the character of this home, T plan to retire in the next
year car two and we're c;onskWing changing the allowaple bus[ness we carry on in otrr home. We
need the freedom to make renovations, if raeessary,to support the refinement business we plan
to run here in Newcastle, We have put so many'man-tours"ird�3 this horne to bring It back to
what it was,and Is,and plan to continue to be caretakers of its unique history, We gape that the
char scber and appeal of our home will continue to drag the community and visitors to our door,
Our conmctlon to the heritage designation was expected to be the catalyst to move us abM In a
more timely iTwnner alul with some tconomic benefit, 5adly none of the expectatfons we had for
Vie assoclation were fulfilled and vm request your approval t'or ca deirsting.

2013 year. The Planning Services Department monitors activities to assess the
effectiveness of the Municipality's Official Plan policies and other regulatory
documents.
In addition to informing Council on the 2013 year, this report provides information
from the previous two years which assists in identifying emerging issues and
possible trends over a three year period.
For the purposes of this report, information on the following planning activities are
discussed:
• Plans of Subdivision
• Plans of Condominium
• Official Plan Amendments
• Zoning By-law Amendments
• Site Plan Control
• Minor Variances
• Consents
• Sign Permits
• Apartments In-House
• Pre-Consultation Meetings
2. PLANS OF SUBDIVISION
The Director of Planning Services is the delegated approval authority for Plans of
Subdivision. However, the Planning Services Department reports to Council on
applications for proposed draft plans of subdivision at the public meeting stage and
when approval is recommended for an application for proposed Draft Plan of
Subdivision.

Some subdivision applications can take a number of years to become draft
approved and may include many revisions before a plan is draft approved. The
charts in this report do not include the applications that have been previously
submitted in years past and are awaiting revisions or working towards approvals.
In addition, in 2013 Council denied a proposed revision to Prestonvale Heights draft
approved subdivision.

Bowmanville continues to be the primary growth area within the Municipality of
Clarington, which coincides with the provisions of the Official Plan.
Single detached dwellings continue to be the dominant form of housing being
applied for in subdivision applications. It is expected that townhouse and apartment
units will continue to increase and represent a larger percentage of units applied for
in coming years as Provincial Policy continues to be implemented requiring multiple
forms of housing and complete communities. The cost of housing and a-shift in
demographics may also lead to an increase in the demand for townhouse and
apartment units being applied for.

Part Lot Control applications are also processed by Planning Services Department
staff and approval of these applications has been delegated to the Director of
Planning Services. However, a By-law is adopted by Council to implement the
decision. Applications for Part Lot Control allow lots and/or blocks constructed for
semi-detached or townhouses to be split and individually sold. The individual lot is
created after construction has commenced to ensure that the lot is split based on
the location of common walls. In 2013, a total of nine applications for Part Lot
Control were received and eight applications were approved.
3. PLANS OF CONDOMINIUM
A condominium is the form of housing tenure that usually has individual ownership
of a dwelling unit and joint ownership of common elements and facilities. It is
mostly used for townhouses and apartments.

condominium applications are expected to remain consistent or increase in the
coming years.

In 2013 site plans for govern ment/institutional land uses continued to increase over
the previous two years. This is largely as a result of work (.LPG continues to
undertake for projects associated with the refurbishment of the Darlington Nuclear
Generation Station and Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board building
additions to existing schools to implement full day kindergarten. Site plans for
major residential land uses increased slightly over previous years. Major residential
applications are expected to continue to rise in the coming years as policies from
Places to Grow continue to be implemented-and more sanitary treatment capacity
is available in Bowmanville and Courtice.

The Committee of Adjustment is appointed by Council to make decisions on minor
variances to the Municipality's Zoning By-law.

The Committee of Adjustment saw a decrease in the number of applications
received in 2013 from 2012. In 2012, the number of applications were well above
the average number of applications received in previous years. Three of the
Committee's decisions were appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). Two
of the appeals were granted by the OMB and the third appeal will be heard later this
year. One application received in 2013 was not heard by the Committee in 2013.

The Planning Services Department provides coordinated comments for all
Clarington departments to the Durham Region Land Division Committee on consent
applications.

In 2013, there was a slight decrease in applications commented on for new
residential lots. The current lack of sanitary treatment capacity, especially in the
Bowmanville area, could be a factor in the decrease in applications. Despite the
decrease in new urban residential lot applications there was an increase in
boundary adjustment applications for urban residential properties. The increase in
boundary adjustment applications is due to individuals acquiring land to complete
lots in previously approved partial lots within registered plans of subdivisions and
acquiring land for land assembly and future potential subdivisions.
9. SIGN PERMIT APPLICATIONS
Sign permit activity continues to remain consistent with majority of the signs being
located in Bowmanville and Courtice.

3 amendments and the Director of Planning Services issued 1 variance to the Sign
By-law.
10. APARTMENT-IN-HOUSE
An apartment-in-house application provides the Emergency Services Department
with opportunity to ensure the unit complies with the Fire Code and is on
Emergency Services data base, as well as ensuring apartment-in-houses are
zoned appropriately and that sufficient parking is provided on the lot.

The number of apartment-in-house applications received and the number of

With the need for affordable rental units, the cost of homes and an aging population
it can be expected that the demand for apartment-in-house accommodation will
continue in the coming years.

11. PRE-CONSULTATION MEETINGS
11.1 In 2007, Council adopted a by-law requiring a pre-consultation meeting be held for
all proposed applications for Official Plan Amendments, Zoning By-law
Amendments, Draft Plans of Subdivision, Draft Plans of Condominium and Site
Plan Approvals or Amendments. Pre-consultation meetings are required before
major development applications are submitted and assist in ensuring applications
being submitted have all required supporting documents and the proponent is
aware of all required steps. The number of pre-consultation applications provides a
good indication of future proposals within the Municipality of Clarington.

+ Major residential uses are residential units consisting of more than three units
++ Minor residential uses are residential units consisting of three or less units
In 2013, the number of pre-consultation meetings remained at a consistent level.
The number of government and institutional pre-consultations was slightly higher
than previous years due to OPG and Kawartha Lakes School Board projects.
Mixed Use proposals have started to emerge as Clarington has continued to work
toward implementing the policies of Places to Grow, including the Courtice Main
Street Secondary Plan. It is expected that Mixed Use proposals will become more
common in the corning years. The interest in industrial projects remains low which
may be linked to higher development charges and a need for a supply of fully
serviced industrial lands.
12. CONCURRENCE - Not applicable
13. CONCLUSION
Planning application activity remains relatively consistent, continuing a trend over a
three year period. There is strong interest in future growth and investment in
Clarington in the coming years.

REPORT NO.: PSD-007-14 PAGE 10
There continues to be increased activity in institutional and government applications
albeit smaller school additions for, all day kindergarten classes. The refurbishment
by Ontario Power Generation include numerous projects on-site to renew the
station's infrastructure. There is also evidence that there is significant interest in
major residential projects in Clarington.
As infrastructure projects to increase sanitary treatment capacity in Bowmanville
and extend sewers in Courtice are completed it is expected that interest in major
residential development will continue to be high in the coming years. It is hoped
that this will spur industrial activity as well.
Single detached dwellings remain the dominant housing form being built within
Clarington. However, there are applications that are proposing a greater variety
and density of housing. There is a lack of rental accommodation in the community.
Residents appear to be responding to the need with an increase in apartment-in-
house applications noted either to accommodate aging family members or
additional income from renters.
Certainly, there appears to be a strong demand for rental and seniors housing,
much of which is unfulfilled and anecdotally very frustrating for certain members of
the community. This is particularly true in Courtice, where the younger
demographic is hyper-sensitive to the idea of marginally higher density housing.
The Planning Services Department and Council will need to make a greater effort in
explaining the value of a variety of housing in the community and a desire to
implement our vision as a "sustainable, creative and caring community".

REPORT NO.: PSD-008-14 PAGE 2
1. PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 On September 30, 2013, Council considered a letter from the City of Pickering to the
Toronto Region Conservation Authority regarding Conservation Ontario's Whitepaper
"Watershed Management Futures for Ontario" and Toronto Region Conservation
Authority's draft "Living City Policies". Council resolved (Resolution # C-308-13
attached) to refer the letter to staff for a report. This staff report has been prepared in
response to that direction.
2. WATERSHED MANAGEMENT FUTURES FOR ONTARIO
2.1 Conservation Ontario, the organization that collectively represents the Province's 36
Conservation Authorities, released the "Watershed Management Futures for Ontario"
Whitepaper in October 2012. The Whitepaper discusses the various environmental
challenges facing southern Ontario and the complex regulatory maze that is not always
effective in dealing with them. Conservation Ontario argues that, given current
economic constraints, a discussion between Conservation Authorities and the Province
on options for a renewed watershed management partnership and a more efficient
allocation of resources at the provincial and local levels is necessary.
2.2 Conservation Ontario believes that Integrated Watershed Management, which manages
human activities and natural resources on a watershed basis, would provide an effective
and efficient framework for integrating provincial and federal policy and science into
local decision-making. The Whitepaper states that, due to their local expertise and
resources, as well as existing agreements with provincial ministries (e.g. Regulatory
Flood, Provincial Groundwater Monitoring Network), Conservation Authorities are best
suited to implement IWM across southern Ontario.
2.3 The Whitepaper acknowledges that, in order to accomplish the effective implementation
of IWM, a number of fundamental and inter-related issues need to be addressed. These
include refining the Conservation Authority mandate and governance model, and
developing a sustainable funding formula. A refined mandate, for example, would help.
legitimize the role of Conservation Authorities in representing provincial interests in the
protection of natural heritage systems through the land use planning process.
2.4 Conservation Ontario and various provincial ministries have initiated discussions on the
recommendations outlined in the Whitepaper. It is expected that municipalities will be
invited to participate at a later date should these preliminary discussions prove to be
productive.
3. TRCA'S LIVING CITY POLICIES
3.1 TRCA released the draft "Living City Policies for Planning and Development in the
Watersheds of the TRCX in January 2013. The purpose of the Living City policies is to
guide the TRCA in implementing its regulatory and planning responsibilities for the next
8-41
REPORT NO.: PSD-008-14 PAGE 3
decade. These include the authority under the Conservation Authorities Act to regulate
alterations to watercourses, delegated Provincial Interest under the Provincial Policy
Statement regarding flood and erosion hazards, and to provide comments and advice to
municipalities on watershed management and natural heritage related to municipal
decisions on planning policy and development applications.
3.2 In addition to its regulatory responsibilities, the Living City document also defines
Toronto Region Conservation Authority's mission as working with its partners to ensure
that the communities within its jurisdiction are "built on a natural foundation of healthy
rivers and shorelines, greenspace and biodiversity, and sustainable communities". It
recognizes that Toronto Region Conservation Authority must work with the provincial
government and its member municipalities in order to implement sustainability since no
single organization possesses the necessary mandate, resources or expertise.
3.3 The Living City document provides broad guidance and policies on how sustainable
communities can be achieved. For example, these include taking an adaptive approach
to watershed management to address climate change and the cumulative impacts of
development, and encouraging municipalities to incorporate sustainable energy
measures into planning documents and integrate trail systems into municipal
transportation plans.
4. COMMENTS
4.1 Clarington encompasses parts of four Conservation Authorities - Central Lake Ontario,
Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority, Kawartha Region Conservation Authority
and Ottonabee Region Conservation Authority. As is common practice for Clarington,
the Conservation Authorities, primarily Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and
Ganaraska, provide technical advice to the Municipality on natural heritage and water
resource planning and protection in the development of Official Plan policies, as well as
providing comments on development applications. The proposal by Conservation
Ontario to redefine and confirm the important role of Conservation Authorities in
protecting the Province's natural heritage has merit, although issues such as the
redistribution of responsibilities and a stable funding formula for Conservation
Authorities will need to be resolved.
4.2 Toronto Region Conservation Authority's "Living City" document highlights the
significance of the interface between natural heritage planning and land use planning,
and notes the importance of sustainable communities to not only the protection of local
natural heritage features and functions, but also the contribution of local land use
decisions to addressing global environmental challenges such as climate change. Both
Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and Ganaraska Region Conservation
Authority have documents similar to Toronto Region Conservation Authority's "Living
City" document.
4.3 Municipal Staff and Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority and Central Lake Ontario
Conservation Authority staff have jointly worked on the natural heritage system as
presented in the Natural Heritage Systems Discussion Paper for the Official Plan
8-42
REPORT NO.: PSD-008-14 PAGE 4
existing Clarington Official Plan, through its three key principles of sustainable
development, healthy communities, and growth management. These principles will be
strengthened as a result of the Official Plan Review.
5. CONCURRENCE - Not applicable
6. CONCLUSION
6.1 Staff will continue to monitor the discussions between Conservation Ontario and the
provincial government regarding redefining the mandate of Conservation Authorities.
Staff will also continue to work with our Conservation Authority partners to ensure that
sustainable development, healthy communities, and growth management remain as the
foundation to land use planning decisions in Clarington.

1. APPLICATION DETAILS
1.1 Owner: Darclarke Properties Corp. (Canadian Tire Motorsport Park)
1.2 Applicant: Republic Live Inc.
1.3 Agent: Valerie Cranmer & Associates
1.4 Proposal:
Clarington Official Plan Amendment
A proposed Clarington Official Plan Amendment to change the land use
designation from General Agricultural to Green Space to allow major
recreational uses.
Zoning By-law Amendment.
A proposed Zoning By-law amendment to permit outdoor camping, parking
and portable washroom facilities associated with events on adjacent
Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) lands.
1.5 Area: 26.36 hectares (65 acres)
1.6 Location: Part of Lot 1, Concession 8, Former Township of Darlington (Figure 1)
2. BACKGROUND
2.1 The applications request changes to the Clarington Official Plan and Zoning By-law to
allow camping and ancillary uses, such as parking, washrooms and shower facilities
and would have the following characteristics:
• Only occur during special events held at adjacent CTMP, when demand for the
additional land is necessary
• No permanent buildings or structures are proposed (portable and temporary
structures installed for event)
• No proposed alterations to grading or natural features
• Lands would remain unserviced
• Existing agricultural use (hay) would continue
2.2 The temporary use zoning application was originally submitted in June 2013 and the
public meeting was held September 9, 2013. Following the public meeting, an
application to amend the Clarington Official Plan was submitted and the rezoning was
revised from a temporary use to a permanent use. The public meeting for the Official
Plan Amendment and revised Zoning By-law Amendment was held December 9, 2013.
8-49
REPORT NO.: PSD-009-14 PAGE 4
2.3 The applicant has submitted a Planning Justification report, a Natural Heritage
Evaluation, a Traffic Management Plan and a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment
in support of the applications.
2.4 The purpose of this report is to provide a recommendation for approval of changes to
the Clarington Official Plan and Zoning By-law to allow camping and ancillary uses on
the subject lands (Figure 1) owned by Darclarke Properties Inc. in association with
events held at adjacent Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP). It does not deal with
the many details associated with the management and delivery of the special event
itself. These would be addressed in part through the application for site plan approval
and other related permits required to allow the use.
2.5 The Boots and Hearts Music Festival has been held the past two years and most
recently from August 1 to August 4, 2013. Approximately 18,000 people camped at the
festival. Camping, which included both tents and recreation vehicles (RV's), was
accommodated as follows:
Approximate Number of
Owner Campsites
Darclarke Properties Corp Parcel 1 2,500
Canadian Tire Motors port Park 2,000
Each campsite has the potential to accommodate up to 8 campers per site. Based on
the information provided, on average, there were less than 4 campers per campsite.
2.6 The Municipality has a Special Event By-law 91-56, as amended. The purpose of the
by-law is to regulate and licence large exhibitions and events such as the Boots and
Hearts Music Festival and other events at CTMP. Prior to issuing a Special Event
license, a number of items must be addressed in accordance with the by-law including,
but not limited to:
® Description of the event and the land to be used for parking, camping, sale and
consumption of food;
® Time period of event;
® Proof of liability insurance;
® Agreement with the Municipality to save harmless and indemnify;
® Clearance by Durham Region Police Service that there is adequate police protection
for the event (securities/costs may be collected);
® Clearance by the Fire Chief that there is adequate fire protection (securities/costs
may be collected)';
® Clearance by Durham Region Health Department certifying that the event satisfies
all public health and sanitation requirements; and
® Arrangements for noise monitoring for any event at CTMP.
2.7 The Special Event by-law is currently under review by the Municipal Solicitor. Future
amendments to the Special Event by-law will address issues arising relating to the
Boots and Hearts Music Festival, such as traffic, and other trends relating to special
events across the Municipality.

4. PROVINCIAL POLICY
4.1 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS)
The lands have not been identified as a Prime Agricultural Area and thus they are
considered a Rural Area as defined by the PPS. Recreational, tourism and other
economic opportunities are promoted in Rural Areas. Development that is compatible
with the rural landscape and sustained by rural service levels should be promoted.
Development shall be appropriate to the available infrastructure. Locally important
agricultural and resource areas should be designated and protected by directing non-
related development to areas where it will not constrain these uses.
The PPS defines recreation as: leisure time activity undertaken in built or natural
settings for purposes of physical activity, health benefits, sport participation and skill
development, personal enjoyment, positive social interaction and the achievement of
human potential.
The proposed applications are consistent with the PPS.
8-53
REPORT NO.: PS®-009-14 PAGE 8
4.2 Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP)
The ORMCP designates the subject lands Countryside Area, and a small portion in the
southeast corner of the property is Natural Linkage Area. While the ORMCP was
enacted by Ontario Regulation 140/02, it is a policy document which requires
interpretation and is implemented through Regional and Local Official Plans. A detailed
review of the policies is outlined below.
4.2.1 Countryside Areas
Countryside Area policies promote the protection and continuation of agricultural uses,
but also permit the widest range of non-agricultural related uses on the Oak Ridges
Moraine.
The proposal for the campground meets the definition of a recreational use in the PPS,
although there is no similar definition in the ORMCP. The ORMCP identifies two types
of recreational uses.
Major recreational uses are those which require large scale modification of terrain,
vegetation or both and usually require large-scale buildings or structures. They include,
but are not limited to the following:
• Golf courses
• Serviced playing fields
• Serviced campgrounds
• Ski Hill
Low intensity recreational uses are recreational uses that have a minimal impact on the
natural environment, require very little terrain or vegetation modification and few, if any
buildings or structures, including: '
• Non-motorized trail uses
• Natural heritage appreciation
Unserviced camping on public or institutional land
• Accessory uses
The proposed camping use is not a campground, either serviced or unserviced. It is not
proposed to be operated solely as a campground nor is it open to any member of the
public.
The proposal therefore requires interpretation as to the intent of the ORMCP. It should
be noted that the existing Canadian Tire Motorsport Park would meet the general
defining requirements of a major recreational use but it is not one of the examples listed.
A music festival would also be a major recreational use in that the support services
require the use of the buildings and structures constructed for the racetrack.
8-54
REPORT NO.: PSD-009-14 PAGE 9
It is noted that the low-intensity recreational uses are permitted within the Natural Core
and Natural Linkage Areas. This includes the most sensitive environmental features.
The intent appears to allow for recreational uses which would have minimal impact on
these features.
The proposal meets some of the elements of a low intensity recreational use —there is
little modification to the terrain or vegetation. However, this is only true because the
natural vegetation has been cleared for farming. No permanent buildings are proposed.
However, while it may be a use with low frequency, it is not a low intensity use for the
few days it operates. A low intensity use would not generate traffic impacts or the
potential for incompatibility with residential uses.
The camping area on the subject site is serving as an extension of Canadian Tire
Motorsport Park for the purposes of the recreational events being held at Canadian Tire
Motorsport Park, whether it is a music concert/festival or a motor vehicle race. It is not a
separate, independent campground operated on its own. Therefore, in staff's view it
should be viewed as a major recreational use for the purposes of conformity to the
ORMCP.
The ORMCP permits major recreational uses in Countryside Areas provided that they
are not designated as a prime agricultural area or an area primarily for agricultural uses
in the applicable official plan. Redesignating the lands from General Agricultural to
Green Space allows the major recreational use on a portion of the subject lands.
422 Natural Linkage Area
Natural Linkage Area policies promote the creation of open space linkages between
natural heritage features identified as Natural Core Areas. The Natural Linkage Area
policies allow low-intensity recreational uses and unserviced park. Given the objectives
of the Natural Linkage Area policies to create linkages and improve or restore the
ecological integrity of the ORM, the Natural Linkage Area policies would not be
supportive of the proposal.
4.2.3 ORMCP Conformity
The proposed applications conform to the ORMCP in the Countryside areas provided
that the local official plan does not designate the land primarily for agricultural uses. The
Natural Linkage policies would not support the intensive if infrequent camping and
ancillary uses.
5. OFFICIAL PLANS
5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan
The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the lands Countryside Area and Natural
Linkage Area, consistent with the ORMCP using the same designations and
boundaries. The CTMP lands are identified as a Regional Node.
8-55
REPORT NO.: PSD-009-14 PAGE 10
Parallel to the analysis provided on ORMCP conformity, the proposal conforms to the
Durham Regional Official Plan in the Countryside areas. The Natural Linkage policies
would not support the camping and ancillary uses.
5.2 Clarington Official Plan
The Clarington Official Plan designates the lands General Agricultural and Natural
Linkage Area with Environmental Protection Area noted for the significant woodland.
The General Agricultural designation is more restrictive than the policies of the ORMCP
and Regional Official Plan Countryside Area designation. The Natural Linkage Area
policies are consistent with the ORMCP and Regional Official Plan. No development is
permitted on lands designated Environmental Protection Areas, except low-intensity
recreation and uses related to forest, fish and wildlife management or erosion control
and stormwater management.
Temporary use by-laws may be passed to permit the use of lands, buildings or
structures, on a temporary basis, for a maximum of three (3) years, for any purpose
provided that:
a) the proposed use is temporary in nature;
b) the proposed use is compatible with adjacent existing land uses, there is minimal
impact on the environment, or satisfactory measures to mitigate any adverse
impacts will be applied;
c) there will be no adverse impacts on traffic or transportation facilities or services in
the area;
d) adequate access and parking are provided;
e) the use can be removed and the site can be restored to its original condition;
f) adequate sewage disposal and water services are available in compliance with
provincial and regional standards; and
g) it does not jeopardize the long term implementation of this Plan.
Generally, Council will not permit the extension of any temporary use by-law beyond a
period of 10 years.
The Official Plan indicates that if the boundaries of the land use designations do not
coincide with a physical or natural feature, such as a creek, road or property line, minor
deviations are permitted that do not alter the intent of the Plan.
6. ZONING BY-LAW
6.1 Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands "Agricultural (A)", "Natural Linkage (NL)"
and "Environmental Protection (EP)". The "A" zone permits agricultural uses and a
single detached dwelling. The "NU and "EP" zones permit agricultural uses and
recognize existing dwellings. The Minimum Area of Influence overlay applies to all
zones for lands within 90 metres of the "EP" zone limits.
8-56
REPORT NO.: PSD-009-14 PAGE 11
7. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
7.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject
property, all interested,parties, and a public meeting sign was erected along Regional
Road 20 on two separate occasions for the public meetings held on September 9, 2013
and December 9, 2013.
7.2 On behalf of residents, Leslie and Ken Kerrigan, planning consultant, Susan Lloyd
Swail, provided a written submission and provided a presentation at the December 9,
2013. A copy of the submission is included as Attachment 1.
7.3 Other concerns raised regarding the Boots & Hearts Music Festival, include:
• Protection of the Oak Ridges Moraine
• Public safety
• Public nuisances
• Security and safety of nearby residents
• Traffic congestion, including blocked access to neighbouring properties
• Condition of rural roads in area may not be designed to accommodate traffic
• Concert attendees speeding along rural roads
• Noise generated,from the music festival
• Trespassing onto private property— concert attendees looking for parking, camping,
firewood etc.
• Littering on private property — produced by those stuck in traffic
• Communication between CTMP/Republic Live Inc. and neighbouring property
owners
• Loss of telecommunication signals
7.4 Through the public process, the benefits of the music festival have been highlighted
including the positive impact to the economy and the recreation and tourism
opportunities surrounding the event.
8. SUPPORTING STUDIES
A Planning Justification Report, Natural Heritage Evaluation, Traffic Management Plan
and a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment were prepared in support of the
application and are summarized in Attachment 2.
9. AGENCY COMMENTS
9.1 Regional Planning Department
Regional Planning provided comments advising the proposed camping is permitted by
the policies of the Regional Official Plan, and they have no objection to the proposed
applications. However, the Region suggests that the Clarington Official Plan
8-57
REPORT NO.: PSD-009-14 PAGE 12
Amendment include site specific policies given the nature of the proposal. The
Clarington Official Plan and/or Zoning By-law provisions may include policy and/or
regulations relating to setbacks, waste management/water supply, and traffic
management. The application is exempt from Regional approval.
The Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment finds no evidence of contamination on the
site. The Region accepts the findings. The Region requests that the recommendations
of the Scoped Natural Heritage Evaluation be followed during any approved camping
use. The Region also requests additional information to satisfy the Minimum Distance
Separation calculations if there are nearby agricultural operations.
9.2 Regional Health Department
The Health Department advised they do not object to the applications. They require
written submission made to the Regional Health Department, at least 4 weeks in
advance of any camping activity, for review and approval. The submission should
include details regarding the storage, haulage route and disposal of any portable
facilities as well as the source, storage and haulage route of any drinking/potable water.
9.3 Regional Works Department
The Traffic Management Plan has been reviewed by the Durham Regional Works. The
report is generally acceptable, however, technical comments have been provided to the
traffic consultant for consideration in the final report. Specific requirements can be
addressed through site plan approval or the special event permit.
9.4 Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority
The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority has reviewed the application and the
proposed Natural Heritage Evaluation. The GRCA highlights that the evaluation does
not fully report on the impacts of the private campground on the woodland, i.e. intrusion
of patrons, noise, light and litter. The evaluation suggests that camping be permitted up
to the limit of the significant woodland, however the GRCA recommends that a buffer
(minimum vegetation protection zone) be provided to satisfy provisions of the Oak
Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. The GRCA recommends that the buffer be
implemented through the Zoning By-law Amendment and that the future site plan
agreement include requirements to install fencing and signage to diminish instrusion into
the woodland and buffer area. It is recommended that a monitoring plan be prepared to
measure effectiveness of the mitigation measures over the course of the events, should
the applications be approved.
10. DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
10.1 Emergency and Fire Services
All fire access routes to all camping areas shall have a minimum width of 6.0 metres.
8-58
REPORT NO.: PSD-009-14 PAGE 13
10.2 Engineerinq Services
The Traffic Management Plan indicates that there should be sufficient roadway capacity
provided that intersection operations and ticket processing at the gates are managed
efficiently. The detail of the recommended improvements submitted in support of the
festival and camping is currently under review. The recommended improvements will
occur over the fullness of time and can be phased. Full implementation of a 2014
Traffic Management Plan will be part of the required Special Events process. However,
Engineering Services recommends that prior to lifting the (H) Holding symbol, an
agreement is entered into with the owners/Republic Live for the necessary
improvements (paved shoulders) along Concession Road 10.
The use of Darlington-Clarke Townline Road for access to the campground area will not
be permitted. The point where Darlington-Clarke Townline Road is crossed must be
along the open portion.
A 30 metre x 10 metre sight triangle is required at the intersection of Concession Road
10 and Darlington-Clarke Townline Road. The southerly limit of the open portion of
Darlington-Clarke Townline Road must be barricaded to traffic two days before, during
and two days after any music festival. The applicant will be responsible for 100% of all
costs, financial and otherwise to establish a suitable road barricade.
Engineering Services highlights that while there is no re-grading proposed at this time,
any future plans for re-grading would require the approval of a grading and drainage
plan and may warrant a site alteration permit and/or a road damage deposit.
10.3 Building Division
The Building Division has no concerns regarding the application.
10.4 Operations
The Operations Department has reviewed the Traffic Management Plan and finds that
the report addresses current issues, however, costs for recommended improvements
are not identified in budget forecasts.
11. DISCUSSION
11.1 Republic Live is requesting permission to allow camping, parking and portable
washroom facilities on the subject lands related to events on the adjacent Canadian Tire
Motorsport Park lands, a designated Tourism Node. In order to permit these uses,
amendments to both the Clarington Official Plan and Zoning-By-law are required.
11.2 Canadian Tire Motorsport Park'is an established facility with zoning for a motor vehicle
race track, agricultural fairground and music festivals. CTMP has an area of
approximately 290 hectares, however approximately two-thirds of the site is protected
as a significant woodland feature and unavailable for camping.
8-59
REPORT NO.: PSD-009-14 PAGE 14
11.3 CTMP is identified as a Tourism Node in the Clarington Official Plan, an indication of an
area of major tourism and recreation potential. The Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation
Plan would consider CTMP a major recreational use and provides policies for the
establishment and expansion of such uses.
11.4 The applicant is not requesting an expansion to the Tourism Node, but rather requests
that during certain events at CTMP, permission be granted to allow camping, parking
and portable washroom facilities on the subject land. As part of these applications,
there are no plans to construct any permanent structures, expand the principle race
track use, or make any significant alterations to the site.
11.5 There is a hierarchy of issues related to the Boots and Hearts Music Festival. At this
stage the planning applications are to ascertain the suitability and desirability of the
proposed land use. Some of the most important issues to residents relate to the
management and delivery of the event. These matters are best addressed through the
Special Event Permit process, which will occur later.
11.6 Conformity with the ORMCP
A detailed review of the ORMCP and the Regional Official Plan policies is discussed
above.
Staff are currently completing the review of the Clarington Official Plan. On a broader
policy context, the Regional Official Plan has eliminated the two-tier agricultural
designations. The General Agricultural Area Designation, which includes the subject
lands, is being eliminated and those lands are being redesignated either as Prime
Agriculture or as Green Space, The Countryside Discussion Paper has recommended
that the General Agriculture Area designation on the subject site and in the vicinity be
redesignated as Green Space. The applicant's proposal is consistent with the approach
being put forward by staff in the Official Plan Review.
The ORMCP permits major recreational uses in the Countryside Area provided that they
are not prime agricultural areas or areas designated for primarily agricultural purposes.
The subject lands are not considered prime agricultural lands; they have a Class 6 soil
capability classification. The redesignation of the subject lands from General Agriculture
to Green Space is appropriate. The property still has value as an agricultural resource.
The temporary nature of the events would allow agricultural uses to continue (e.g.
haying) outside of the event period.
11.7 Natural Heritage
The Natural Heritage Evaluation supports camping up to the edge of the woodlot. Staff
are recommending a minimum 15 metre buffer to the woodlot be maintained. The
ORMCP requires a minimum vegetation protection zone of 30 metres which is currently
zoned Environmental Protection beyond the limit of the features. In this situation and
based in part on the Natural'Heritage Evaluation. The Ganaraska Region Conservation
Authority supports a reduction of the 30 metres to 15 metres as the tents are not
permanent structures, and will be there on a temporary basis.
8-60
REPORT NO.: PSD-009-14 PAGE 15
Staff recommend no camping or any other use be permitted in the 15 metre buffer to the
woodlot and within 25 metre around each butternut tree. The areas to be used for
camping are identified through the Zoning By-law Amendment. The site plan process
will require the buffer limit to be signed and fenced.
As a condition of site plan approval, staff will require monitoring to take place during and
following the event(s) to measure effectiveness of the mitigation measures over the
course of the events, should the applications be approved. Previous years' monitoring
reports, prepared by the applicant's environmental consultant, will be required prior to
issuance of subsequent special event license.
11.8 Residence at 3135 Concession Rd 10 (Osborn)
The resident at 3135 Concession Rd 10 is surrounded on three sides by the subject site
and Concession Road 10 on the fourth side. The resident raised various concerns
regarding the impacts on his property given its close proximity. The owners were aware
of Boots and Hearts when they acquired the property but were concerned if this was
extended through the summer for other Mosport events. The resident requested that
impacts be mitigated. Staff recommend providing a minimum 15 metre buffer around
this property and will require fencing and signage to avoid trespass. Any temporary
lighting will be directed away from the private residence. Uses on the Darclarke
property in the vicinity of the Osborn property will also be reviewed through site plan
approval to minimize conflicts.
11.9 Traffic
Generally, the Traffic Management Plan (TMP) has demonstrated that the surrounding
road network can accommodate the traffic generated by the music festival, including
camping; and operational improvements have been presented in draft form.
The TMP contains many recommendations. Implementation of the plan will include '
prioritization and feasibility of the suggested improvements, followed by implementation
of select improvements as a requisite for the 2014 festival and beyond. Cost-sharing will
be part of the discussion.
The initial findings of the Traffic Management Plan are sufficient to support the Official
Plan Amendment and Rezoning. Implementation of the TMP will be part of the Site Plan
application and Special Event Permit process in 2014 and beyond.
11.10 Recommended Official Plan Amendment
The land use designation must conform to the policies of the Oak Ridges Moraine
Conservation Plan and Durham Regional Official Plan. A proposed Official Plan
Amendment is included as Attachment 3. Planning Staff recommend redesignating the
General Agriculture lands as Green Space with additional site specific policies that
would govern the use:
• Camping is a permitted, temporary use related to events at CTMP;
• Site Plan approval is required to address detailed site issues;
• Alteration to grades is prohibited; and

® Buffers and environmental protection implemented through Zoning By-law
amendment and Site Plan.
11.11 Recommended Temporary Use BV law
Under the provisions of the Clarington Official Plan, the land use boundaries shown in
the Official Plan can be further defined provided it meets the intent of the Plan. The
proposed Zoning By-law provides for an alignment that is more consistent with the
boundaries of the Natural Heritage system.
The rezoning application, as modified, requests a permanent zoning on the site to allow
camping uses in association with either music festival or race events. However, as
noted above, at the present time, CTMP has no plans that would require the use of
these lands for race events.
Furthermore, the Boots and Hearts Music Festival is an evolving event which is growing
every year. There should be opportunity for Council to review the negative and positive
impacts as the festival evolves, particularly since some of the operations issues can
negatively impact surrounding neighbours unless they are managed well. For this
reason, it is recommended that only a temporary zoning be enacted for a three year
period. Should the festival either outgrow this site or no longer be held, upon the
expiration of the zoning by-law, the lands could continue as an agricultural use. In the
future, the temporary use zoning could be further extended by Council or a permanent
zoning be established.
The proposed zoning by-law contains provisions that would limit the use of the site for
camping for the period between July 15th to August 15th of each year. In addition,
vehicle parking would be permitted from July 15th to September 10th of each year. This
would effectively limit the camping use for two music festivals that Republic Live would
possibly hold. In part this time restriction is proposed because of the impacts on the
resident to the north. It would also allow for agricultural uses to continue outside of the
festival period. Parking for the music festivals or races would be permitted for a longer
period as it would have less impact on the residence.
It is also recommended that the (H) Holding symbol be applied.* The (H) Holding symbol
can be lifted once the site plan process is completed, including resolution of all site
layout issues and an agreement regarding the improvements along Concession Road
10 that are to be completed prior to the 2014 event.
11.12 Further Steps
The owners are required to obtain site plan approval and enter into an agreement with
the Municipality. In addition, Republic Live is required to obtain a Special Events Permit
for the Boots and Hearts festival. At the present time, an update of the Special Events
By-law is being prepared. Many of the key issues raised by residents are detailed
design or event management issues.
The following matters and many others will be addressed either through site plan
approval or the Special Events Permit:

RE:Comments for Public Meeting ZBA-2013-0016,COPA 2013-0004
I am pleased to provide you with an opinion regarding the proposed use of the property at Part Lot 1,
Concession 8 in the Municipality of Clarington. In this letter, I will address planning policy conformity
issues associated with this application in regard to the Planning Act and other relevant policies
specifically,the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP),the Provincial Policy Statement,the
Region of Durham Official Plan,and the Municipality of Clarington Official Plan and Zoning By-law;the
policies that are applicable to this application. Further, I will provide a review of the associated reports
provided by the planning department regarding natural heritage evaluation and transportation planning.
Also,there were a number of issues with the management of the Boots and Hearts festival last year.
Should the application be approved we ask that the Municipality require site plan conditions to ensure
the event is managed to reduce the impacts on the neighbouring rural residents as well as reducing
potential liability issues.
The proposed temporary land use consists of outdoor camping with a capacity for 20,000 people on a 57
acre site with associated parking and portable washroom facilities required for entertainment events to
be held on Canadian Tire Motorsport Park site. My clients,the Kerrigan's have a number of concerns
related to the proposed use. The activities and use of the property for this event in 2013 demonstrated
that the concerns they brought forward to Council last fall were warranted. It appears that a number of
regulations and guidelines associated with an event of this nature, namely,the Region of Durham Public
Health guidelines for outdoor gatherings,and the Alcohol and Gaming Commissions requirements were
not met. In this report, I will provide an overview of the Kerrigan's concerns regarding the issues with
the 2013 event management,an overview of management practices for outdoor music festivals and
suggestions for improved management and health and safety, if the event is to continue at this location.
When determining which provincial policy applies to an application, I refer to the Official Plan and
provincial maps to determine whether lands are within the Places to Grow Plan (growth areas)or within
the Oak Ridges Moraine,and/or Greenbelt. In this case,the lands in question are located at Part of Lot
8,Concession 1,5216 Darlington Clarke Townline, in a rural area within the Oak Ridges Moraine
Planning Area,therefore,the ORMCP is the applicable provincial policy. It is a prescriptive provincial
plan, it is not interpreted like an Official Plan,as a result planning decisions are generally conservative as
8-65
the language and policies regarding permitted uses is specific. Uses that are not permitted are not
included in the description.The policies of the municipality must conform to the ORMCP, implementing
plans such as the Municipality of Clarington's Official Plan,2005-109 can be more restrictive, but not less
restrictive than the conservation plan.
After an analysis of the permitted uses within agricultural areas and a review of the policy on low
intensity recreational uses permitted on the Oak Ridges Moraine, it is my opinion that the land uses
proposed in this application do not conform to the policies in the ORMCP.The low intensity recreational
policies in the ORMCP permit unserviced camping on public or institutional lands. The proposed OPA
would change the zoning to green lands within the Clarington Official Plan, but the lands would remain
in private ownership and be used for commercial purposes, namely,the leasing of plots for camping on
a temporary basis and agricultural uses. Further,there are some differences between the green land
designation and the Regional Official Plan which would likely designate these lands Major Open Space-
Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan.
I would ask you to provide this opinion to the Mayor and Council for the December 9t"Council meeting
so that it becomes part of the public record for this file.
1. Summary of Planning Opinion
A. Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP)
When considering applications for uses within the Oak Ridges Moraine Plan area is it important to
review the objectives of the Plan.The objectives are to protect the ecological and hydrological functions
of the Oak Ridges Moraine;by ensuring that only land uses that maintain, improve or restore the
ecological and hydrological function of the Oak Ridges Moraine are permitted....
The proposed lands are within a countryside and natural linkage area of the ORMCP. The Municipality
of Clarington has amended its Official Plan to conform to the ORMCP,under by-law 2005-109.The
property under consideration is identified as agricultural and natural linkage on map E4, by-law 2005-
109.
The primary use of the property is currently agriculture general.The ORMCP identifies agricultural
related uses as commercial or industrial uses that are,small scale, directly related to the farm operation
and required in close proximity to the farm operation.
According to the application,the applicant is proposing a temporary use;overnight camping with
temporary washrooms and parking facilities which is identified in a letter from the applicant's planner as
an accessory use to the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. In the ORMCP 'accessory use'is defined as a
use of lands that is normally incidental or subordinate to the principal use.As the principal use is
agriculture,and the lands are not identified in the Regional Official Plan as being part of the CTMP node,
the view that this use is an accessory use is not consistent with the definition of accessory use in the
8-66
i
ORMCP as a campground is neither incidental to, or subordinate to the existing agricultural use on this
property as the use is unrelated.
The applicant considers the use to be consistent with a low intensity recreational use.The ORMCP
specifically identifies a number of examples of what a low intensity recreational use in Sec.37(1). Low
intensity recreational uses are recreational uses that have a minimal impact on the natural environment
and require very little terrain or vegetation modification,and few if any buildings or structures, including
but not limited to the following;
1. Non-motorized trail uses
2. Natural heritage appreciation
3. Unserviced camping on public or institutional land.
4. Accessory uses.
The proposed use in this amendment is agriculture and unserviced camping on privately owned
commercial lands.As the lands are neither publicly owned or operated or institutionally zoned the use
does not conform to the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan as set out in Section 37.
Further,the density of the camping is not consistent with the size and density of campsites on public or
institutional campgrounds. If the use was licensed as a tourism establishment under the Tourism Act,
R.S.O. Reg. 1037 Sec. 9 (4). The size of the campsites would be considerably larger.The Act states "Each
campsite shall have an area of at least 186 square metres with an open and graded parking space
sufficient to permit a minimum clearance of 4.5 square meters between sides and three metres between
ends of adjacent recreational vehicles." If this use of the land is approved,due to the discrepancy
between the proposed use and both the ORMCP descriptions of low intensity uses and the Tourism Act
description of a campsite it would seem reasonable to request that the applicant increase the size of the
campsites and decrease the density of campers per site.
B. Region of Durham Official Plan
The Regional Official Plan identifies the proposed parcel as Natural Linkage and Countryside in the Oak
Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan area.The parcel adjacent to the proposed use, Canadian Tire
Mosport Park is identified on Schedule A, Map 5 as an existing regional node. The Region of Durham
Official Plan has updated their plan to conform to the Greenbelt Plan. Policy 9 C. 2.1.states, "In the
preparation of area municipal official plans,Councils of the area municipalities shall include provisions
to complement the intent of this Plan and the provisions of this Section regarding the development of
Regional Nodes." The development of the Regional Node includes the lands within the mapped
Mosport Park area and does not appear to be applicable to lands adjacent to Mosport Park,at this time.
The Regional Official Plan and Local Official Plan must conform to the ORMCP.Any request to make
changes to the ORMCP,to include adjacent lands within the Regional node should be made to the
province at the time of the ORMCP review in 2015.
8-67
l
C. Municipality of Clarington Official Plan
The subject lands are currently zoned agricultural and are identified in the Municipality of Clarington's
Official Plan as General Agricultural Area.
An Official Plan amendment has been made by the applicant to permit low intensity recreations uses
namely, unserviced camping on the proposed lands.This amendment would see the zoning change from
General Agriculture to Open Space-Green Space lands in the COPA. Rezoning within the Oak Ridges
Moraine has certain requirements as noted in ROP 10.13.2.2. If the COPA is approved we suggest the
wording for the COPA include a reference to the Oak Ridges Moraine natural linkage area on the
property.
D. Density of Camping
The proposed density of camping on the lands, eight persons and a vehicle for each 15'X 20' plot over
57 acres,or 20,000 persons is generally not consistent with unserviced camping uses on public open
space, institutional campgrounds or parklands.There are few regulations which control the size and
management of camping facilities. One regulation that addresses the density of the proposed use is the
Tourism Act, R.S.O. Reg. 1037 Sec. 9(4). If the proposed use is to continue on this property we ask that
the density of camping sites be more consistent with the requirements under the Tourism Act as these
requirements seem to be more consistent with the low intensity recreational uses identified in the
ORMCP.
Further,the comments noted by the applicant's planner noted the Ganaraska Region Conservation
Authority interpreted the use as intensive during the period when the event is occurring.
E. Summary of Planning Opinion
It is my opinion as a professional planner that the proposed use does not conform to the Oak Ridges
Moraine Conservation Plan as set out in this application,as the proposed use is for commercial
purposes,leasing overnight accommodation plots for camping associated with a music festival, and
further,that the density of the use is not consistent with the nature of low intensity uses identified in
the conservation plan.This specific use has a fairly high density compared with the low intensity uses
identified in the plan,such as nature appreciation, non-motorized trail uses, and low intensity camping
on public or institutional lands. The proposed use, 2,500 camp sites with a maximum of eight persons
per site or 20,000 people and 5,000 cars on a 57 acre parcel is more consistent with a commercial
entertainment or tourism use.
2. Natural Heritage Evaluation
The applicant included a scoped Natural Heritage Evaluation in this application.This scoped evaluation
provides an evaluation of the site on one day,during the fall.As the applicant is proposing to use this
site for a number of events over the summer it is difficult to determine the impacts if the intensity,the
8-68
number of events,and date of the events is unknown. This evaluation does not appear to evaluate the
impacts associated with the unknown multiple events occurring over a summer. Another limitation with
the evaluation is the lack of a specified "dimension of the required minimum vegetation protection
zone"as required under Section 29 of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, ROP 10.13. 2.9.A line is
indicated on the NHE figure 8, but it does not specify the dimension or the GPS locations for the
protection zone. Without this information compliance monitoring of the proposed mitigation measures
may not be possible.
Is this density of camping having an adverse impact on the Oak Ridges Moraine?ORMCP defines
"adverse effect"as any impairment,disruption,destruction, or harmful alteration.The PPS provides
further refinement of the definition,with the understanding that the PPS is the minimum standard.
Adverse effects in the PPS means one or more of:
Impairment of the quality of the natural environment for any use that can be made of it;
injury or damage to property or plant or animal life;
harm or material discomfort to any person;
any adverse effect on the health of a person;
impairment of the safety of any person;
rendering any property or plant or animal life unfit for human use;
loss of enjoyment of normal use of property;
and interference with normal conduct of business.
Photographs from the 2013 event would suggest that the trucks mudding on the site and the patrons
using the forest as a washroom likely impaired the natural environment and may have damaged plant
life. Further, local residents found it very difficult to travel on the local roads which may have interfered
with normal business for local businesses and as the Kerrigan's have argued,they experienced a loss of
enjoyment of the normal us of their property.To determine the adverse effect of this use for future
events the extent of the use, number of events per year, needs to be determined. Once that information
is available the NHE should identify whether the minimum vegetative protection zones are adequate,
how the area will be improved,and how the impacts will be mitigated. As the impacts will occur
intermittently over the summer,we suggest that the Municipality institute a monitoring program as part
of the condition of approval to ensure mitigation measures are put in place and to determine whether
there are any adverse effects.
We support the recommendations within the natural heritage evaluation that privies and generators be
located away from the forested area. The recommendation that vehicles remain outside of the natural
heritage area of influence will be easier to enforce if the event management restricts off-road vehicles
(off-road trucks,ATVs dirt bikes,etc.)and/or keeps cars parked offsite altogether,as it is unlikely a
snow fence will deter these massive vehicles. In summary,without a natural heritage evaluation based
on the extent and timing on the use on the site it is not possible to determine whether the additional
use is having an adverse impact.
8-69
3. Event Management Issues
The Kerrigan's brought forward a number of concerns and compatibility issues at the public meeting
held on September 9th, 2013 regarding the rezoning application for this site.These issues still remain a
concern and we ask the Township to consider our analysis and recommendations to reduce potential
liabilities as well as provide for the continued safety, peace and quiet enjoyment for the. To
understand the normal management practices of these events we developed a best practices

comparison of some of the largest music festivals held in Canada as well as a few U.S. examples. This
table provides information which suggests that strong management practices are the norm at these
festivals.These practices may help to manage liability issues, reduce or control impacts to adjacent
property owners and allow for the continued enjoyment of the event by festival patrons.
A. Age of Campers/Alcohol consumption
Reports and images suggest underage drinking was likely occurring on the campgrounds. While camping
is given the same consideration under the law as one's home,that is,drinking is permitted in the family
campsite. It is likely there were participants at the event that were underage and without a parent.
These events are very social in nature, movement of campers from one site to another is generally
encouraged at these events to support the party atmosphere.This makes it very difficult to restrict the
consumption of alcohol at 'home'or'on-site'.We recommend that Republic Live consider restricting the
event to people 19 years of age and over,anyone under the age of 18 should be accompanied by a
parent or guardian.
B. Security of Site
At the event last August,the Kerrigan's noted there were only 2 police officers at the Meadows
entrance.There are also reports that concert goer's ignored and taunted hired security personnel. For
the purposes of effective security and crowd control in the event of an emergency, it is unlikely that two
officers can control or manage enforcement issues that are likely to occur such as underage drinking,the
selling of illegal substances, rowdiness and emergency management.To limit liability and the potential
for dangerous activities we ask that the management plan require:a substantial increase in the number
of police officers and private security over last year to allow for random patrols of the grounds as well as
vehicle and people searches before admittance; that a list of eviction offences be listed on the website,
provided at the event and enforced by security personnel;and that an emergency management plan be
in place and rehearsed;and a police command centre be established with cameras to monitor unlawful
activities(as used at the Gentlemen of the Road concert held in the Norfolk Fairgrounds).
C. Parking and use of Vehicles
Last year,video taken at the event identified that off-road trucks were 'mudding' near the forested area.
This activity is a potential liability,as there is no way to know if the driver is impaired,further the activity
is high risk with spectators nearby and may it result in injury.This type of activity also reduces the
commercial area available for tent camping and may also be in contravention of the requirements of the
ORMCP to 'limit activities that may stress the ecological integrity of the moraine'. We ask that the
management plan restrict vehicles to the area of the property designated countryside on the ORMCP
maps and that the vehicles remain in lock up until the event is over and or attendees decide to leave in
which case no, in-outs privileges are permitted. Once they leave they cannot return. This is a common
practice at many of these events.

FIGURE 3—2013 Camping Layout D. Public Health
a. Sanitary facilities
In 2013, we understand 50 privies were provided,the same
number that are displayed on the map included in the OPA
Washroam Pods
tope.Pod application (figure 3, provided by Valerie Cranmer and
Associates).According to the Durham Public Health
i
GA rant guidelines for outdoor events with alcohol consumption
1,000 Sites
503 privies are required for the 20,000 people planned
(249 male/249 female) and 251 hand washing stations.
The number of privies required to run this event continues
to be grossly underestimated. We ask that the applicants
p work with Durham Public Health to ensure the health
guidelines for outdoor events are followed to reduce the
potential for infection and the number of campers using
the forest as a washroom.
J d
b. Garbage
DAY PARKING
.••ss00 Spots T Reports from local residents noted that garbage pick-up
was insufficient during and after the event and that
r - recycling did not occur. Durham Public Health requires that
4u , ` y � ' ' *" garbage be collected not less than once daily. We ask that
the management plan for the event and subsequent events require commercial garbage and recycling
pick up during and after the event to manage health and environmental impacts from the garbage
generated.
E. Noise Curfew
A number of similar outdoor music festivals we researched for best management practices regarding
noise curfews. Most festivals have a noise curfew.The Boots and Hearts event last year restricted
generators operating at certain hours but there was no posted restriction for general noise. We
encourage the event organizers and the management plan team to institute a noise curfew and follow
the by-law for amplified music and general noise so as not to disturb neighbours in adjacent tents.
F. Grounds for Eviction
The events with camping generally post'ground rules'for the festival attendees. Posting rules provides
clear communication to attendees on what is or is not acceptable and provides the management team
and security personnel clear communication on what will not be tolerated as well as providing grounds
for removal or eviction of unruly patrons. We suggest the following grounds for eviction be considered
8-72
forth is event: underage drinking, breaking noise curfew, misuse of vehicles, moving tent stakes,rowdy
or threatening behavior,similar grounds are instituted at the Big Valley Jamboree.
4. Transportation Plan
The transportation plan has many excellent recommendations. We support many aspects of this plan
and we encourage the applicant and the stakeholders to work together to ensure the recommendations
in this plan are carried out. We would like to suggest that that our client,the Kerrigan's as a rural
stakeholder be included in the discussion and planning for the transportation management.
In Summary,
It is our opinion that the proposed use does not conform to the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan
for low intensity recreational uses both in terms of the density of the proposed use and the
interpretation of this policy for private commercial use.
If the use is approved there are a number of recommendations we ask the Municipality and other
regulatory agencies to require as conditions for site plan approval and or/event approval for future
events.
1) Limit campers to 4/site and increase plot size.
2) Restrict the event to people over the age of 19 or accompanied by a parent.
3) Address the possibility of impaired driving by restricting access to cars and keeping off-road
vehicles off-site.
4) No camping, privies,cars or generators in buffer areas.
5) Consult with rural residents concerning traffic management,and have a representative from
the Kerrigan family on the management committee.
6) Encourage carpooling,and provide shuttles to hotels,shops and parking lots in town to
promote economic development.
7) Increase police security,search persons and vehicles, provide enough security personnel
that random police patrols occur at night,develop and rehearse an emergency management
evacuation response and ensure there are enough police officers onsite to deal with
emergency management should the need arise.
8) Post a list of actions that will result in eviction and enforce it.
9) Enforce a 1:30 a.m. noise curfew
10) Sanitation-follow Durham Health guidelines for outdoor events,daily pump out and solid
waste removal, provide recycling.
11) Follow recommendations in the Stantec Transportation Management Plan.
8-73
12) Revise the Natural Heritage Evaluation to ensure it based on accurate timing of the events,
the extent of the use and a realistic estimate of the number of patrons onsite.
Thank you for your consideration.

SUMMARY OF SUPPORTING STUDIES
Planning Justification Report, Valerie Cranmer, October 2013
The Planning Justification Report recommends the lands designated General Agricultural Area
be redesignated to the Green Space designation. The consultant relies on the Countryside
Area policies of the ORMCP and opines that the proposed use satisfies the definition of a low-
intensity recreational use as defined by the ORMCP, and finds that the proposal is consistent
with the PPS and ORMCP and would conform to the requirements of the Durham Regional
Official Plan.
The report finds that the development would not have a negative impact on significant natural
heritage features following implementation of the Natural Heritage Evaluation; and, would not
have a negative impact on the agricultural use of the site or on any agricultural operations in
the area. With the implementation of the Traffic Management Plan, the impact on the adjacent.
landowners by vehicle access to CTMP prior to and during the event will be greatly reduced.
The report also highlights the local and regional economic benefits.
Natural Heritage Evaluation, Oakridge Environmental Ltd., October 2013
The report includes the following recommendations:
A 30 metre limited use setback from the Significant Woodland, Key Natural Heritage
Feature;
• A 30 metre limited use setback from the Significant Valleyland;
• A 25 metre setback radius applied to each of the identified Butternut trees where no
activities will be permitted;
• Within the 30 metre setback activities be limited to tent camping only, no campfires, use
of generators prohibited, portable privies located outside of setback, no motorize
vehicles and only low watted lighting used and directed toward the ground;
• Appropriate signage should be posted to educate patrons regarding the restrictions in
limited use areas;
• Signage should be installed along the forest edge to prevent entry into the significant
Woodland and Significant Valleyland areas;
• No concert events to occur between May 1 and June 30;
• To mitigate any issues associates with litter and garbage associated with the events,
temporary signage and snow fencing should be installed along the woodland edge to
prevent litter from entering the forest during concert events;
• A recycling program should be instituted during the events;
• Periodic checks of sites with generators should be conducted to verify that equipment
and containers are not leaking; and
• Proponent should advise patrons upon entry of the environmental sensitivity of the site
and the need to handle fuels appropriately.
8-75
Traffic Management Plan, Stantec, October 2093
The report addresses issues that arose during the 2013 Festival. The conclusions include:
• The combination of the volume of the arriving traffic and limited ticketing processing
capacity contributed to long delays for access and extensive vehicular queuing on local
area roadways;
• Sufficient roadway capacity should be available provided that intersection operations
and ticket processing at park gates are managed efficiently;
• The securing of lands adjacent to CTMP for camping purposes and temporary vehicle
staging to assist in managing queuing on the public road system should assist in
dispersing arriving traffic and reduce ticket processing time;
• The provision of pre-trip traveller information and the encouragement of transportation
demand management measures are important components of the overall Traffic
Management Plan;
• A number of road improvements have been identified that may be implemented in the.
short term prior to the 2014 event and others that may be considered for,implementation
at a later date;
• A number of potential on-site improvements have also been identified, which include
enhancing vehicle queuing and storage within the site in proximity to the gate access
points and improving connectivity within the site;
• A site traffic control plan has been developed to improve traffic operations and safety on
the local access roadways, and includes the use of Portable Variable Message Signs,
temporary conditions markers and signing, and police point duty at key intersections;
and
• Traffic monitoring and surveillance during the event will.assist in managing traffic
efficiently as well as gathering information for subsequent events.
The report recommends that:
• The rezoning and Official Plan amendment applications required to allow the use of the
identified adjacent lands for camping purposes be approved as it is anticipated that this
will facilitate improved traffic operation on the local area roadways during the 2014 ,
event;
• The Traffic Management Plan is discussed and refined over the next several months
through consultation between the Republic Live event planning team and the various
stakeholders including the road authorities, emergency service providers and.the
general public;
• Efforts continue to enhance pre-trip traveller information, improve the efficiency of ticket
processing, and identify potential sites for off-site park and shuttle service;
• The Municipality of Clarington, Republic Live and CTMP partner on making the
proposed pavement width improvements to Concession Road 10 between Regional
Road 20 and Mosport Road prior to the 2014 event;
• The Municipality of Clarington, Republic Live and CTMP discuss the logistics and cost-
sharing potential for improving the Regional Road 20/Concession Road 10 intersection
with Durham Region as part of the Region's planned 2014 pavement rehabilitation
contract for the section of Regional Road 20 from Liberty Street to approximately 1
kilometre west of the intersection with Mosport.Road; and

1. PURPOSE
1.1. The purpose of this report is to recommend approval of expenditures in excess of
the additional expenditure limit provided in Administrative and Corporate Policy
H17—Capital Project Over-expenditures—that were incurred on Old Scugog Road
Culvert Replacement, Contract No. CL2013-09.
2. BACKGROUND
2.1. Construction of the Old Scugog Road Culvert Replacement was completed by
Norenco Contracting Ltd. on Sept. 19, 2013. The site is approximately 200 m
south of Concession Rd 9. The total estimated project cost approved by Council
during the award of the tender was $226,000.00 (see Attachment 1 for details).
During construction, the project ran into a number of issues, which are described
in detail below, and total project costs are now estimated to be $272,269.18. This
has created an over expenditure of$46,269.18 that is over the $25,000
contingency allowance limit for projects within the $250,000 cost range authorized
in Policy H17 that can be approved by department directors.
2.2. Extensive negotiations with the contractor regarding Extra Work Orders were
undertaken to lessen the financial impact on the Municipality of Clarington. At this
date, final payment has not yet been forwarded to the contractor, pending Council
approval of the additional funding required to cover these extra costs.
2.3. Despite the unexpected work required to complete the project, staff were able to
work with the Contractor to ensure that the construction was completed on
schedule which was critical due to the working restrictions in the vicinity of a
watercourse. In-water works were completed prior to the Department of Fisheries
and Oceans (DFO) September 15th end-date for in-water works. Adherence to the
in-water works timing window was critical to avoid charges under the Fisheries Act.
2.4. The details of the $46,269.18 in extra charges are provided as follows:
Bell cable excavation and relocation: Two Bell cables were found during the
excavation for the culvert which were not identified by Bell prior to construction.
Extra work involved hand digging to expose the cables, excavation along the
length of the cables to achieve enough slack to relocate the cables around the new
culvert and using a vacuum truck to safely excavate post holes so that the
unidentified Bell cables were not damaged.
Construction and removal of temporary bike path: The Engineering Services
Department was contacted by the United Way to request that cyclists be allowed
to pass through the construction site as part of their Ride 4 United Way event due
to the significant detour that would be required if they could not use Old Scugog
Road. In order to assist with this event, that has considerable benefits for the local
community, Clarington agreed to construct a gravel bike path around the
9-31
REPORT NO.: EGD-006-14 PAGE 3
construction site in order for the event users to pass through the site safely and,
following the event, the path was removed and the affected grounds restored.
Removal of second layer of asphalt: The tender called for removal of 50 mm of
surface asphalt. Additional asphalt was discovered at a depth of approximately
200 mm below the surface during excavation which had to be removed and
disposed of as part of the work.
Structure over-dig and backfill due to old timber cribbing and poor subgrade:
During excavation for the culvert, old timber cribs and unsuitable clay subgrade
were encountered which needed to be removed, resulting in a larger than
anticipated excavation. The timber cribs were likely part of an old bridge structure.
The excavation also had to go deeper than anticipated to remove clay subgrade
material in order to have a stable base for the new culvert and gabion retaining
walls. This poor material was outside of the location of our soils investigation and
therefore not able to be identified during the design phase.
3. DISCUSSION
3.1. Extra Work Orders Related to Bell Oversight
Two Bell cables were found during the excavation for the culvert which were not
identified by Bell prior to construction. During the design stage, existing conditions
drawings are sent to the utility companies for them to mark-up any buried plant
that was not visible during the survey. Bell did not identify the location of the
cables, because they did not have them in their own records. Because there was
no record of the cables, they were also not identified on site through the `One Call'
locates process which is done before the Contractor starts excavation.
Bell was not able to mobilize their crews to the site quickly to relocate the cables,
so in order to have the work completed within the allowable working window for the
watercourse; the Municipality's Contractor had to do their best to work around
them. Unfortunately this resulted in them incurring extra costs, which are passed
on to the Municipality.
The Engineering Services Department will be pursuing collection from Bell for a
share of the extra costs associated with the Bell cables. Had the cables been
identified by Bell during the design stage, the Municipality would have required that
Bell re-locate them prior to construction and the Municipality would have been
responsible for a share of the cost; this would have been included in the total
project cost reported to Council. The Municipal Access agreement with Bell
outlines the cost sharing arrangement for relocation work between the Municipality
and Bell. Cost recovery from Bell will reduce the extra costs to be incurred by the
Municipality; this has not been included in the costs described in this report as the
funds have not yet been secured. It is estimated that the charges to be recovered
from Bell would be in the order of roughly $10,000.

REPORT NO.: EGD-006-14 PAGE 4
3.2. Temporary Bike Path
Members of the Bike Friendly group who were involved in the Ride 4 United Way
event were notified in a meeting in early July that Old Scugog Rd would be closed
for the culvert replacement. Based on the contractor's construction schedule, there
was a chance that the road would not be open by the date of the event on Aug. 25.
Due to some of the other problems encountered on this project, there were delays
in construction. Clarington staff was contacted on Aug 19 by United Way to ask if it
would be possible to allow the cyclists to pass through the construction site. A
detour would have required maps to be re-printed and would have resulted in a
considerably longer route. It was agreed that the participants would be permitted to
walk their bikes through the site using a temporary gravel path,
3.3. Remaining Extra Work Orders
A geotechnical investigation was undertaken during the design of the culvert
replacement, and it was determined from the boreholes and analysis that the soil
had adequate bearing capacity to support the culvert. There is always a risk that
there are unforeseen subsurface conditions. While we try to account for the
underground conditions it is not practical or possible to identify all subsurface
issues prior to construction. It is not unusual for there to be extra costs associated
with underground work; however, there were a number of issues at this site which,
in combination, were more expensive than most projects.
4. CONCURRENCE
This report has been reviewed by Nancy Taylor, Director of Finance/Treasurer,
who concurs with the recommendations.
5. CONCLUSION
5.1. Several other structure rehabilitation contracts were issued under the 2013
Structures Rehabilitation budget, all of which were completed under budget, with
one project being deferred to 2014. It is recommended that remaining funds from
the 2013 Structures Rehabilitation budget be used to fund the $46,269.18 over-
expenditure incurred on the Old Scugog Road Culvert Replacement project.
5.2. Engineering Services will continue to pursue cost recovery with Bell for the extra
costs of working around the Bell cables which were not identified by them within
the project limits.

1. BACKGROUND
1.1 Newcastle Arena Board
The Newcastle Arena Board is a volunteer Municipal Service Board established by
the Municipality of Clarington Council in accordance with the provisions of the
Municipal Act, 2001, as amended.
The goal of the Newcastle Arena Board is to operate the Newcastle Memorial
Arena. The composition of the Board is as follows:
9 persons,,2 of whom shall be members of Council
Committee members are ultimately responsible to the Municipality of Clarington
Council and are bound by By-law 2008-037, appointing the Newcastle Arena
Board.
Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month, at 7:00 p.m.
2. CURRENT SITUATION
2.1 Resignation of Robert Holmes
Robert Holmes was appointed to the Newcastle Arena Board in January, 2011.
The Municipal Clerk's Department received his resignation on January 9, 2014.
Following Council's appointments in 2011, all unsuccessful candidates were
advised that their applications would remain on file for consideration should a
vacancy occur on the Newcastle Arena Board. Accordingly, the Municipal Clerk's
Department contacted previous applicants (and any additional applications
received since the appointments were made) to the Newcastle Arena Board to
determine whether they wish to put forward their name for consideration.
At the time of writing of this report, only Jay Summers has confirmed with the
Municipal Clerk's Department that he wishes to be considered for appointment to
the Newcastle Arena Board. Mr. Summers's application has been circulated under
separate cover (Attachment 1) as it contains personal information.

REPORT NO.: CLD-004-14 PAGE 2
1. BACKGROUND
On October 7, 2013 the General Purpose and Administration Committee passed
Resolution GPA-489-13, which stated:
"THAT the Municipal Clerk's Department provide a report on By-law Enforcement
including parking enforcement with information on overtime costs, potential for
hiring additional staff or contracting out, and detailing areas of major concern
including the number of open cases, number of calls, and subject matter."
Generally speaking, Municipal Law Enforcement is reactive, responding to calls for
service from the community. Much of their activity is based on the principle of
maintaining or improving the prevailing community standards and tolerances for various
activities while Parking handles a mix of reactive and proactive issues.
The Division is composed of seven officers, a clerk and the Manager. Of the seven
officers, four are Municipal Law Enforcement Officers (MLEOs), two are full time
Parking Enforcement Officers (PEOs), one is a part time Parking Enforcement Officer.
The clerk provides clerical support to the Division. The Manager oversees the
operations of the Division.
Currently there is no on-site supervisor for either the MLEOs or the PEOs during
evening, night or weekend hours. The Division Manager can be contacted by phone in
an emergency. After hours dispatch is done through a patch directly to the MLEO's cell
phone. This method of dispatch will be reviewed as part of the 2014 Communication
Strategy Initiative.
The Municipal Law Enforcement Division, as a whole, is part of the Inside Collective
Agreement and the Division has traditionally operated Monday to Friday from 8:30 am
to 4:30 pm during the fall winter and spring months and 8:00 am to 4:00 pm in the
summer months. In late 2012 Council authorized the expansion of this level of service
and increased the number of MLEOs.
In accordance with the limits of the Inside Collective Agreement the Division expanded
and added a new MLEO in January 2013. The officer was hired with the intent that they
would work an afternoon shift from noon to 8:00 pm from Tuesday to Friday and
8:30 am to 4:30 pm on Saturdays. Schedule B of the Inside Collective Agreement
stipulates that "scheduled overtime will be offered and distributed equitably to
employees who normally perform the work." This officer, therefore would respond to
calls and investigate matters as they relate to general by-law issues rather than ongoing
parking issues during the evenings and weekends. Ongoing or regularly occurring
parking issues cannot be handled by the MLEO on duty over the weekend and must be
handled by a PEO. If there is a one-time specific parking problem, the MLEO does
investigate and take action.
13-5
REPORT NO.: CLD-004-14 PAGE 3
2. CURRENT DEMANDS FOR SERVICE
Over the last 6 years the Division has had an annual average of 1,982 calls for service
representing, among other things, 476 property calls, 408 parking calls and 364 zoning
calls. Each call can represent anything from one hour to several days to resolve.
Where the call involves matters that come before a court or hearing of some form, that
time can extend into several weeks, months or in a few cases, years.
At present, staff are dealing with 295 open general enforcement files and 66 parking
files. This translates into 57 open files per MLEO and 22 parking files per PEO. Of the
files currently under investigation the top 4 categories are: Property Standards and
maintenance issues (80), Zoning (64), site alteration (33), and noise (20).
With a physical area of more than 610 square kilometres, travel time to and from
complaints can consume a considerable amount of time; however enforcement is not
just time out on the road inspecting and investigating. It also involves periods in the
office collecting information and interviewing parties over the phone and in person.
Daily routine requires the officers to spend approximately 30% of their time in the office
addressing these issues as well as processing emails, phone and counter enquiries.
At least twice each month two of the Parking Officers begin work at 2:30 am. and
enforce the overnight prohibition from 3:00 am to 5:00 am. They then continue on
working until 2:30 pm. By that time they have worked a total of 12 hours and reached
the maximum time that can work in a given day. They have also accumulated 6 hours
of overtime for that day. This can be taken in pay or accumulated Time-in-Lieu. In
2013, the PEOs accumulated 153 hours of overtime as a result of the overnight
enforcement (maximum of 21.8 days off or $6,784.02 payout).
3. OPERATIONAL OBSERVATIONS
Council had directed that a new MLEO be added in 2012 in order to better respond to
the needs of the public. The conditions and limitations in the Collective Agreement
mean that the MLEO cannot do work that would take overtime away from other union
staff, in particular the PEOs. Initially this was not perceived to be a problem.
The ability of the officers to conduct routine enforcement is severely restricted by the
time of day and available light. Nighttime renders it near impossible to conduct
adequate exterior inspections. Added to this are the possible mistakes in identity and
the public perceiving an officer conducting a nighttime property inspection for a thief or
burglar and it poses a potential safety risk to have the officers conducting any form of
property inspection. This leaves the enforcement of licencing for taxis and noise issues,
many of which may require police assistance and of course parking issues which have
occurred over the course of the evening.
In the months since the commencement of the new extended MLEO hours 4:30 pm to
8:30 pm, staff have noticed a disconnect between the MLEO position and the actual
needs of the public. The general impression is that since its inception earlier last year,
staff have received fewer than a half dozen actual calls for service that were within the
13-6
REPORT NO.: CLD-004-14 PAGE 4
scope of the MLEO officer. The vast majority of the calls received were for Parking
matters.
In order to determine the accuracy of this anecdotal perception, in October 2013, staff
began to track incoming calls for service received by the MLEO between 4:30 pm and
8:00 pm. A total of 22 calls for service with only 2 non-parking related issues (concerns
over snow clearing bills) were received. The remaining 20 have all been issues which
would be the responsibility of the PEOs.
4. COMPARISONS ACROSS THE AREA
Staff have looked at the practices of various municipalities across the province but
concentrated on common approaches, if any, within Durham Region and the
surrounding area.

The survey of the nearby municipalities reveals that no other municipality in the area
offers 24/7 full enforcement. The real need across the Region appears to be for Parking
Enforcement beyond the traditional hours of 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
5. CONTRACTING OUT
At present, all full time inside and outside workers are part of CUPE Local 74. The
current Collective Agreement speaks to the subject of contracting out in section 28,
"The Municipality will contract out for the provision of security related services."
Contracting out MLEO or PEO services to provide expanded service would require
entering into discussions with CUPE to come to an agreement in protocol. Article 17.3
of the COPE Collective Agreement states; "No employee in the employ of the
Municipality shall be laid off as the result of contracting, leasing, assigning or conveying
work to another person or employer."
The municipality does allow private property owners to contract out on their own to have
a person or persons enforcing the private property provisions using municipal parking
tickets. This is at no cost to the Municipality and operates outside of our direct
influence.
Outsourcing to replace current staff would not result in instant savings. Existing staff
would have to be either grandfathered, as happened when the 4t" MLEO was hired, or
provided with another position at the same salary level.
The Town of Whitby uses private security to provide parking services during afternoon
and evening hours. Their annual budget for 2013 was approximately $25,000. This
amount provided a maximum of 20 hours per week evening and overnight. This cost
does not include any additional office space, necessary equipment for the job, or any
ancillary costs for equipment which would have to be arranged with the supplier. At
present Clarington's part-time PEO earns $26,660 for the same number of hours.
While contracting out the service may have initial economic benefits there are other
serious considerations which staff would have to address. In the end the potential risk
to the integrity of our records and our ability to properly respond to complaints may be
compromised.
6. ENFORCEMENT OPTIONS
The following details various options for expanding service levels. These figures show
what is needed to cover the existing level of Municipal Law coverage or to extend
Parking Enforcement to match that level. There are several options for creating an
extended hour work schedule. The 2013 budget for the Division was $635,335.00 with
staffing related costs of$530,893.
13-8
REPORT NO.: CLD-004-14 PAGE 6
6.1 FULL COVERAGE 24 HOURS PER DAY 7 DAYS PER WEEK
This program would involve the creation of full day and night enforcement 7 days per
week. This is not a short term approach as it requires a complete rethinking of the
duties and obligations of the Division along with a renegotiation of the Collective
Agreement and the creation of 4 squads working 12 hour shifts from 7 am to 7 pm and 7
pm to 7 am.
In order to offer a consistent level of service regardless of the Squad working, there
would need to be 3 MLEOs, 3 PEOs and a shift supervisor per squad. These officers
would replicate the level of service currently provided. Day shift would also have the
Manager. Total Division manpower would increase to 1 Manager, 4 Supervisors, 12
MLEOs and 12 PEOs. Total annual operating budget for the Division would rise to
approximately $3,331,600.00.
This approach to staffing is most often seen in municipalities which host large colleges
or universities. The calls for service are of such volume that they cannot be handled
adequately by a day shift alone and the local police often require the assistance of a
dedicated municipal enforcement unit. Clarington does not currently have the
necessary volume of calls to justify this approach.
6.2 EXPANSION OF CURRENT LEVEL OF SERVICE
This option envisions having a night shift that operates in conjunction with the existing
scheduled afternoon shift. A night shift could be created to run from 8:00 pm until 4:00
am. This approach would require the hiring of one new MLEO for the night shift, two
PEOs (one afternoon and one night) and a Shift Supervisor. Additional cost to the
budget would be $329,960.00.
Some savings can be realized in this process because there would be no need for each
night shift officer to have their own vehicle. Where possible, equipment such as
vehicles, computers and ticketing printers can be shared. The anticipated annual
budget for the Division would rise to approximately $965,300.00.
This approach also requires more staff and expands to a level of service that is in
excess of the current demands for service. Staff review of 2012 and 2013 statistics
indicate that this is not a necessary increase. The approach also carries the same
challenges of nighttime enforcement as full 24/7 deployment would have for the MLEOs.
6.3 INCREASED PRESENCE AT CURRENT HOURS
The option envisages the extension of the hours of operation for Parking Enforcement
to match those of the MLEO until 8:00 pm, or later. This allows for two officers to be
working, thus increasing the margin of safety for the officers themselves while at the
same time responding to the public's demands for service.
13-9
REPORT NO.: CLD-004-14 PAGE 7
This option would require the hiring of a third full-time Parking Officer for the afternoon
shift while at the same time retaining the part-time PEO to monitor and enforce the
downtown areas of Bowmanville, Newcastle and Orono. The Division's annual
operating budget would rise from $635,335.00 to approximately $702,360.00. This
estimate includes training requirements, equipment, uniforms and the shift premium of
$6.00 per day.
This option provides for the most appropriate, timely and efficient approach to meeting
the needs of the community.
I
7.0 CONCLUSION
Given the concerns highlighted above regarding access to property during hours of
darkness, consideration will be given to moving,the current afternoon shift MLEO to the
day shift for the late fall, winter and early spring. The officer's effectiveness and ability
to respond to her other duties will not be hindered. As stated previously, the
demonstrated need is for an increased Parking Enforcement presence, which could be
accommodated by the addition of a third full-time PEO.
Unlike the MLEOs duties, PEO investigations can be successfully conducted after dark,
as the 3 am to 5 am enforcement has demonstrated.
This approach could be easily accommodated within the provisions of the current
Collective Agreement while, at the same time, providing a more timely response to
demands for service.
The foregoing is presented for Council's information.

Subject: LONG-TERM POTENTIAL OF A BOAT LAUNCH IN BOWMANVILLE
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Council either,
a) receive Report CAO-001-14 for information;
OR
b) consider allocating in the 2014 Budget the suggested funding of$35,000

REPORT NO.: CAO- 001-14 PAGE 2
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to respond to Council's direction on the matter of
reporting on the long-term potential of a boat launch in Bowmanville.
2. BACKGROUND
2.1 At the January 7, 2013 GPA meeting the following resolution was passed:
"THAT Staff be requested to report on the long-term potential of a boat
launch in Bowmanville."
2.2 This followed several earlier reports on the related but narrower matters of
dredging the Bowmanville Creek (the most recent of which was LGL-004-12 on
September 10, 2012 which summarized several earlier reports) and parking
control at boat launches (Report CLD- 035-12 on December 10, 2012).
3. KEY ACTIONS REQUIRED TO RESPOND TO COUNCIL REQUEST
3.1 Relevant experience elsewhere suggests that the examination of the long term
potential of a boat launch in Bowmanville requires five key actions:
• A market study to determine the scale of the short and long-term demand
for a boat launch in Bowmanville, what specific features and benefits that
market would desire and be willing to pay for and the price they would be
willing to pay
• Identification of potential locations of a boat launch in Bowmanville that
would meet the identified market needs
• Estimation of the cost of developing each site based on meeting the
market needs. Key development costs would be expected to include: an
engineering study, environmental assessment, construction of a boat
launch and other features required to make the launch feasible (e.g.,
potential dredging, developing space for the safe parking of vehicles and
boat trailers and putting effective means in place to manage parking
demand). As well, analysis should show the likely life cycle of such work,
e.g., if the existing boat launch was dredged, how quickly the creek may
fill with silt again. Finally the expected annual operating and maintenance
costs, including allocations for asset replacement reserves, would need to
be determined
17-2
REPORT NO.: CAO- 001-14 PAGE 3
• Analysis of the range and type of economic activity and other benefits
likely to be generated by a specific boat launch
• A review of the options for distributing the costs, e.g., how much of the
cost should be financed from users vs. benefitting landowners vs. the
Municipality
3.2 While staff have not incurred municipal expenditures to determine the cost of
undertaking these five steps, experience elsewhere would suggest that a study
of this nature would likely cost between $35,000 and $45,000.
4. CONCLUSION
4.1 Determining the long-term potential of a boat launch in Bowmanville is a matter
requiring answering a range of questions, including: the scale and nature of the
short and long-term market for such a service, the best location for a boat
launch, the capital and operating costs of developing a boat launch and ancillary
services and the life cycle of these, the economic and other benefits likely to be
generated and how the costs of such an undertaking should be distributed
among the benefitting parties, including the Municipality.
4.2 It would likely cost the Municipality between $35,000 and $45,000 to obtain clear
answers to these questions including having a clearer understanding of the scale
of investment required to realize the long-term potential of a boat launch in
Bowmanville.
4.3 Council will need to decide whether it wishes to undertake such a study and if it
does, provide for it in the 2014 Budget.

Comments for Municipality of Clarington Committee meeting January 20,2014
Regarding ZBA-2013-0016,COPA 2013-0004, Part Lot 8,Concession 1,5216 Darlington Clarke Townline
We have read the staff report concerning this application to amend the Municipality of Clarington
Official Plan and zoning by-law to allow for commercial camping on the Oak Ridges Moraine and we
submit the following comments for consideration.We contend that there are conformity issues with the
Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan whether the use is considered a low intensity recreational use or
a major recreational use.The use is commercial in nature and intensive. In addition,there are a three
concerns with the process of this application which I would like Council to consider:
1) The applicant made an application to permit low intensity recreational uses on the Oak Ridges
Moraine.They did not make an application to permit a major recreational use.
2) According to the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority the impact of the use has not been
determined through the natural heritage evaluation.
3) The public hearing did not allow the public or agencies to make representations regarding the
Official Plan amendment and zoning by-law amendment to consider this use as a major
recreational use on the Oak Ridges Moraine.
Our planning analysis indicates that the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan prohibits major
recreational uses in countryside areas designated primarily for agricultural purposes in the Clarington
Official Plan(Sec. 13.5b-see map attached). For these reasons we ask that Council refuse this
application for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning bylaw Amendment.
Conformity with the Oak Ridges Moraine Plan
a) Intent and Objectives of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan
As the impact of the use was not determined through the natural heritage assessment,we cannot
determine with any certainty whether the land use impacts the ecological or hydrological function.
Regardless,the scale of the proposed use,a capacity of 20,000 people on a 65 acre parcel is not
consistent with the intent and objectives of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act,2001.When
considering applications for uses within the Oak Ridges Moraine Plan area is it important to review
the objectives of the Plan.The objectives are to protect the ecological and hydrological functions of
the Oak Ridges Moraine;by ensuring that only land uses that maintain,improve or restore the
ecological and hydrological function of the Oak Ridges Moraine are permitted...
b) Permitted uses in Countryside areas and Natural Linkage areas
1
recreational use and the required studies suggest that the proposed use is not consistent with a
major recreational use. Further,major recreational use are prohibited in areas identified in official
plans as agricultural areas.Therefore,it is my opinion the proposed use is not permitted on the
subject lands.
Relationship to CTMP Lands
The Canadian Tire Mosport Lands(CTMP)are located adjacent to the proposed use; Mosport Park
is identified on Schedule A,Map 5 as an existing regional tourism node. It was an existing use,prior
to the establishment of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and Act,therefore,it does not
need to conform to the ORMCP.Today,commercial land uses for large recreational events and
entertainment are generally directed to settlement areas where road,water,sewer infrastructure,
accomodations and emergency services are available.
The CTMP lands are owned by a separate entity from the Darclarke lands.Approval of this OPA
allows a major recreational use,that is,a golf course,ski hill,serviced campground,or serviced
playing field.Amending the Official plan from general agricultural to allowing a serviced
recreational commercial use is a significant change from the current use or a low intensity
recreational use.
Summary
In summary,there are additional studies required and agency comments may be different for an
application to consider a major recreational use than those submitted for a low intensity use.Therefore,
Council may not have all the required information and informed comments before it,which may be
necessary to make an informed decision.
Further,we have concerns about the need for public process due to the change in this application as the
public have not had an opportunity to make representations at a public meeting regarding the changed
application.
Despite the fact that studies are missing and major recreational uses were not considered at the public
meeting.The Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan prohibits major recreational uses on countryside
lands that are identified as primarily agricultural areas within the Clarington Official Plan. For this
reason,we ask Council to refuse this application for an Official Plan amendment and zoning by-law
amendment for lands at 5216 Darlington Clarke Townline.

Conclusion
How is waste diversioncalculated? Diverted WastelTotal Waste
All measurements are based on weight (tonnes)
Current challenge: Iight w6ght of clivertecl materials = less tonnes

Collection and transfer contracts should encourage diversion
Municipal control of waste is critical at collection and transfer stages
Municipal transfer stations are the best mechanism for managing flow

Apartment buildings only comply if diversion is made as easy or easier than
disposal and if penalties are enforced for waste separation
Education is critical to achieve program participation
Programs have to be simple and convenient for residents to follow
EU directives promote diversion and penalize
disposal of unprocessed waste
Mangy countries introduced user pad system for
waste and recyclables
Deposit return systems
Extensive eco station systems in place
Robust organics processing systems
San Francisco boasts a W/o fiersion rate
Comprehensive and mandatory composting and recycling
program with a single service provider
Unlike most NAjOsktbns, San Francisco includes inert
construction rubble re -used as fill and land applied bbsoWs in
their diversion calculation
If diversion is measured with same method used by Region,
San Francisco is closer to 6o% diversion

Diversion Rate. Anatomy of an Exemplar,"121612013.
Markham boasts W/o diversion rate
Diversion calculations do not followWDO formula and are
not verified byWDO or any otherthird party
Durham diversion calculated using Markham process
would be closer to 15%
Markham's green bin program accepts pet waste, kitty litter
and diapers resulting in the capture of more organics but
with a significantly more difficult to process organics stream
and higher residuals
Markham mandates apartments participate in diversion and
has control over building designs for diversion
Provincial disposal bans support municipal efforts
Halifax maintains a source separation by -law and
waste flow control
Clear and strict source separationiprocessing
requirements
Waste can not be exported outside of municipa
boundaries to avoid these requirements
Fines are imposed on multi-residential owners that do
not provide source separation facilities to residents
A Construction and Demolition licensing by-law
requires a minimum 754 diversion rate
Waste Diversion rate has been
constant for three dears
Low participation in organics

Durham's organics program is recognized as one of the best in North America
Municipalities are competing for limited organics processing capacity
Consultant report prepared by Kelleher Environmental identified.
New technologies such as Anaerobic Digestion (AD) are required to handle more
problematic organic materials such as source-separated organics (SSO) from
apartment buildings and pet waste
Durham does not generate sufficient apartment SSO and pet waste to justify
its own facility —we need a partner
Durham Region Roundtable on Climate Change recognizes AD to helpmeet
greenhouse gas reduction targets adopted by Regional Council on June z, zolo
Current Green Bin organics processing contract expires in zo16
Extend existing contract to secure the Region's Green Bin
organics processing capacity for two dears beyond current
contract (2018)
Potentially expand organics processing options to.
address current diversion program constraints
include more problematic organic materials such as pet waste and SSO
from apartment buildings
Staff will continue to investigate AD technologies, including non-
binding negotiations with potential partners to inform on and
future business cases and recommendations to Council
EA planning report was based on Region reaching
W/o diversion target in first 5 dears of operation and
then reaching 700/0 in the remaining duration of the
EFW operation
EFW approved capacity is 140,000 tonnes of waste
(Durham projectsthis capacity to be sufficient for our future
needs if diversion target met)

January 23, 20o8, motion ofCounci
"That the Region of Durham agrees to continue to
support an aggressive residual waste diversion
and recycling program in order to achieve and jor
exceed on or before December zoso, a 700/0
diversion recycling rate for the entire Region and
that such aggressive programs shall continue
beyond 2010,"

John Wilkinson:
"The EA documents that the Regions (Durham Pork) will be able to achieve a
diversion rate of W/o by 2o11, and through the introduction of a number of new
diversion policies and practices (such as diversion programs for HHW, electronics,
