DELEGATIONS
Brian Vogel was called but was not in attendance.
Kevin Anyan addressed Council concerning Item 1 of Report #1 in support of the
applications to amend the Clarington Official Plan and Zoning By-Law to allow
additional processing areas, camping, parking and ancillary uses on lands nearby to
Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (1829963 Ontario Inc. and Republic Live Inc.).
Mr. Anyan indicated that at the General Purpose and Administration Committee
meeting this morning, he was questioned on why he did not support Canadian Tire
Motorsport Park (CMPT) to the same extent as the Boots & Hearts Music Festival.
Mr. Anyan stated that without Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, he would not be able to
employ the number of staff he is able to hire and that his work in the community would
be drastically reduced. He stated that both the Municipality and Durham Region were
unprepared for the scope of the Boots & Heart festival and that changes to the
process will increase the success of the event. Mr. Anyan acknowledged that the
Special Council Meeting Minutes - 2 - May 26, 2014
residents who were drastically inconvenienced have the right to safety and enjoyment
of their property; however, he stated that CMPT has the right to the same as do the
events they host. Mr. Anyan responded to residents’ concerns regarding emergency
access, liability, traffic, safety, garbage, noise, and environmental issues. Mr. Anyan
stated the promoters have responded by developing a blueprint that may now be used
for every major event at CTMP and other areas in Durham Region. He indicated the
result will minimize the impact to residents by reducing the number of vehicles and
waiting times, and that changes to policing policies will assist with enforcement of
current laws. Mr. Anyan urged Council to support the proposed amendments which
will increase the safety of residents along Durham Road 20 and east of the parking lot.
He feels that should Council not support the amendments, they will thwart significant
efforts to make improvements every year so all events at CTMP, the Municipality’s
largest tourism centre, will be successful.
