Mr. Baker highlighted the composition of the Committee, their mandate, and provided a synopsis of the business activities of the Committee which included receiving staff reports on various waste-related initiatives and providing input to the Durham Works Committee on the Regional Mobile Air Quality Monitoring Program. Mr. Baker stated the Committee also received a detailed presentation from Sandra Thomas, Issues Project Co-ordinator, and Dave Fumerton, Manager, the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change explaining the roles and compliance for the Durham/York Energy Centre and future requirements. He advised the Committee spent a fair amount of time reviewing information regarding other sites that operate Energy-from-Waste facilities as well as plans to mitigate issues in Durham Region. He noted the Committee also received a summary update from Covanta detailing how they have mitigated issues. Mr. Baker indicated the Committee looks forward to a full and exciting year through participation in tours, recycling events, scheduled meetings and outreach programs. Ms. Barnes reviewed the Committee’s suggestions on the Monitoring Program to include similar methodology and increased coverage as used in other areas, more focus on long-term data collection, a more comprehensive approach to air shed monitoring in Durham Region and the use of best practices and international/national/provincial standards to ensure protection of the airshed. Mr. Baker clarified that to comment on the Monitoring Project was outside the Committee’s Terms of Reference. He confirmed the Durham/York Energy-from- Waste facility is waiting for final approval, the fire and safety team is waiting for its approval and the Municipality is looking for occupancy. He stated that taking time now to do it right is well-heeled as there is significant interest in the facility. Ted Baker and Suzanne Barnes responded to questions from Members of Council. The Honourable Erin O’Toole, P.C., C.D., MP Durham, thanked Council for allowing him to present his Annual Address providing information on Federal Government initiatives and partnerships. Minister O’Toole stated he was here this evening as Council’s Federal partner in Ottawa to talk about growth and challenges and to respond to questions. Minister O’Toole stated that he views all levels of government as complementing each other to serve residents. Minister O’Toole indicated that when he ran for office, his priority focus was jobs and to ensure jobs were a local priority, he held his first economic summit, and with the support of the Clarington Board of Trade (CBOT), invited the Minister responsible for Economic Development in Ontario to meet with business leaders and to talk about opportunities for funding and growth in the future. Minister O’Toole indicated that he also used that opportunity to launch a partnership with his office and the CBOT as they share the same goals. Council Meeting Minutes - 4 - January 12, 2015 Minister O’Toole stated CBOT offices are in the same building as his office and they have partnered in unique ways allowing small or home-based businesses in transition that join the Clarington Board of Trade to use a fully-equipped boardroom in his office free of charge in an attempt to foster home-based businesses and help them grow. Minister O’Toole extended appreciation to Sheila Hall and her team for the success of the partnership. Minister O’Toole stated that last year the Federal government was able to partner with several agriculture, heritage and community groups and highlighted funding provided for programs and initiatives in Clarington through Federal government funding sources. Minister O’Toole advised he has met with representatives of General Motors of Canada Limited to discuss their future and has had an opportunity to tour farms and small businesses. He thanked Members of Council for participating in several events he has held throughout the year and congratulated each Member of Council on their election to Clarington Council. Minister O’Toole stated he was looking forward to working with Council to ensure the success of Clarington’s growth in the years to come. Minister O’Toole responded to questions from Members of Council. Delegations Michelle Pigeon addressed Council concerning Item 2 of Report #1 – Report PSD- 001-15 – Applications for Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision and Rezoning to permit 61 single detached dwellings. Ms. Pigeon stated she is an 18-year area resident. Ms. Pigeon recognized and paid respect to the land as the traditional territory of the Mississauga First Nations noting the collective responsibility to honour, protect and sustain the land. Ms. Pigeon indicated she was in attendance this evening to discuss the implications of the application. She stated that in June she submitted an e-mail outlining her concerns regarding the proposed development, noting five of the identified properties would abut directly onto her property. Ms. Pigeon does not feel the development is consistent with the existing neighbourhood, and is concerned with the potential for decreased property value, loss of privacy and loss of natural habitat. Ms. Pigeon recognized the importance of development and job creation, but noted the area proposed for development falls onto the ravine which is a special part of the community providing access to the creek and enjoyment of the natural habitat. Ms. Pigeon noted that blackberries and wild asparagus grow in the field adjacent to her property. She is also concerned with the effects of fencing on the cedars surrounding her property that currently absorb the run-off. Ms. Pigeon referenced the First Nation’s Seven Generation Principle respecting the decisions made today and their effects on the seventh generation. Ms. Pigeon states she is not convinced that growth is always beneficial for the community. She expressed concern that she has seen three different versions of the site plan, that it appears that the developer is moving forward without approval and she questioned whether the public input will be considered. She is also concerned with the removal of soil and the widening of Mill Lane. Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - January 12, 2015 Resolution #C-002-15 Moved by Councillor Neal, seconded by Councillor Hooper That the delegation of Michelle Pigeon be extended for two minutes. “Carried” Ms. Pigeon indicated that trees have been identified for removal, including mature walnut trees. She further questioned the process and how the public’s input would be considered. Elise Arruda and Jonathan Parsons addressed Council concerning Item 2 of Report #1 – Report PSD-001-15 – Applications for Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision and Rezoning to permit 61 single detached dwellings. Mr. Parsons stated that residents would still like access to the forested area should the subdivision be developed. Ms. Arruda added that as residents they wish to be informed and be kept in the loop regarding the proposed development. Robert Tompkins addressed Council concerning Item 2 of Report #1 – Report PSD- 001-15 – Applications for Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision and Rezoning to permit 61 single detached dwellings. Mr. Tompkins stated he is an area resident and expressed concern with the fence that is being erected around the property, indicating that it is not a snow fence as suggested, and how run-off from the development will be prevented from draining onto his and his neighbour’s properties. Mr. Tompkins is also concerned that access to the creek will no longer be available and that widening the street will add to current parking problems. Kristin Bullied addressed Council concerning Item 2 of Report #1 – Report PSD-001- 15 – Applications for Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision and Rezoning to permit 61 single detached dwellings. Ms. Bullied expressed concern with the widening of Mill Lane and West Scugog Lane and the reduction of outdoor parking space. She also is concerned that the development will restrict use of the land. Ms. Bullied stated the entrance/exit is proposed to be directly across from her home, noting traffic and lighting will be of concern. She questioned whether it can be moved, or if an additional entrance/exit could be added and whether the traffic study is available for public review. She also questioned what would become of the land should the subdivision not proceed. Ms. Bullied commented that the fencing has been put up precisely where the developer is planning to build. Wendy Bracken addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item D - 6 - Comments regarding Proposed Regulation EBR#012-1559 with respect to the proposed regulatory changes by the Province to enable the burning of alternative fuels in cement kilns, a matter which directly affects Clarington residents with St. Marys Cement in the community. Ms. Bracken urged Council to ensure the Municipality carefully reviews the proposed changes, considers and evaluates concerns, and submits formal comments. Council Meeting Minutes - 6 - January 12, 2015 She stated that environmental groups across the province are extremely concerned about the draft regulation and its potential for major health impacts, including increased pollution of toxics, derailment of the 3R’s and true zero waste initiatives, and the haste in which the changes are moving forward with the lack of scrutiny and adequate assessment. Ms. Bracken stated that while the new regulation is being presented as “green” due to the potential for reduction of greenhouse gases, there are many potential adverse environmental and health consequences that have not been addressed. She expressed concern that the regulation will permit the burning of a wide range of industrial, commercial and institutional wastes which facilities such as cement kilns were not designed for; that the industries will be exempt from waste disposal permitting requirements and environmental assessment requirements; that there does not appear to be a cap put on the amount of alternative fuels allowed to burn; and that burning of alternative fuels will result in greater toxic load and pollute at higher levels than incinerator pollution limits. Ms. Bracken requested Council to direct staff to thoroughly review the proposed regulation changes, consider the concerns she, the Durham Environmental Watch and other environmental groups have brought forward and submit comments, concerns and objections to the Ministry by the February 2, 2015, deadline.
