Mr. Faretis explained to the Committee that, while they understand some of the merits of the plan, currently it is not a viable choice for the Wilmot Creek Adult Lifestyle Community. He explained the increased population will assist with public transit and they do see some merits of the assisted living for the residents. Mr. Faretis explained that this application currently involves a population increase of 50% and that the infrastructure will not be able to handle this increase. He continued by explaining the current infrastructure does not have the capacity to handle the present population and there are major existing issues with the road ways within the community. Mr. Faretis noted that Wilmot Creek is currently listed as Manufactured Home Community (MHC) in CAPRIET’s 2014 Annual Report. He continued be noting that the same annual report lists the average monthly rent as $480 per month, and while this may be the case for mobile homes, Wilmot Creek residents pay upwards of $900 in fees alone. Mr. Faretis explained to the Committee that currently there are many areas of the community that are in need of updates including the roads and recreation facilities. He described the characteristics of a Mobile Home Community and provided many examples to show that the homes in Wilmot Creek should not be in this classification. Mr. Faretis highlighted sections of the GHD Planning Rationale Report 2014 with respect to future developments of the community. He explained that the Wilmot Creek Homeowners Association has many concerns including whether the new developments will be separated from the existing facilities if they are not contributing financially to these amenities as homeowners. Mr. Faretis continued that they are in support of an assisted living facility, provided that it is only available to the current residents of Wilmot Creek. He explained that they are concerned with the evacuation procedures if more residents are added and that currently they are lacking adequate evacuation routes. Mr. Faretis concluded by expressing that they are concerned that this retirement community is becoming a quasi-retirement home. He added that they are opposed to this application and encourage the Members of Council to visit Wilmot Creek to see the existing issues that need to be dealt with before considering any expansion. Paul Mack, Mack Lawyers, was present representing Detox Environmental, spoke in opposition to the application. Mr. Mack provided some back ground regarding when Detox Environmental acquired their current properties in the early 1990’s and noted that currently they have two buildings close to Highway 401. He continued by noting what areas they have developed and that they will continue to develop in the future. Mr. Mack explained to the Committee that it is important that the subject property stay vacant to act as a buffer between residential and Detox’s industrial property due to the hazardous materials that they process in the facility. He added that that these materials are being transported by trucks on a daily basis. Mr. Mack noted that Detox Environmental met with the owners of Wilmot Creek Adult Lifestyle Community in the early 2000’s and expressed various concerns including: spills; trucks; and overall safety. He added that this resulted in Detox Environmental making changes that included moving the entrance to the building to minimize risks to the community. Mr. Mack explained that, during this - 4 - General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes March 30, 2015 – April 9, 2015 meeting, all parties involved agreed that the risks would be minimized by having a safety buffer of the agricultural land between the properties. He explained that there were previous applications for zoning changes of the subject property in 1997 and 2002 and that these application were not approved. Mr. Mack noted that there is a concern with the population increase resulting in a possible increase in accidents arising from human error and that this is a concern due to the type of materials they process at Detox Environmental. Mr. Mack was asked to continue after Mark Kenney, COO, CAPREIT Limited Partnerships had an opportunity to address the Committee. Mark Kenney, Chief Operating Officer, CAPREIT Limited Partnerships, was present to address the comments from the Wilmot Creek Homeowners Association. Mr. Kenney explained to the Committee that there was a management change in 2010 and the previous manager has now returned to the position. He added that he would like to be invited to speak to the community and that he is fully empowered to address these issues. Mr. Kenney noted that, over the past few years, they have invested heavily in the community but due to extreme weather conditions it has been difficult to keep up with the road issues. He advised the Committee that they have had the roads assessed and they have committed to do all of the roads within the community over the next two years at a cost of approximately two million dollars. Mr. Kenney added that they have spent over $500,000 on roads over the past year and he will share the engineer’s reports. He noted that he is willing to meet with the community as many times as needed. Mr. Kenney advised the Committee that they have spent approximately $200,000 to correct the drainage issues over the last two years. Mr. Kenney noted that he is embarrassed by what he has heard today and hopes to correct these issues as soon as possible. He continued by noting he will look at changing the classification of the community to a land lease community in CAPREIT’s yearly report. He concluded by advising that he will attend a town hall meeting and all of the residents will be sent a survey to give them the opportunity to address of the outstanding issues. Mr. Kenney added that he is hoping to participate in the board meeting and have an engineer present to provide information to the residents regarding the proposed changes in the approach to repairing the existing road issues.

He added that there were concerns when the ownership changed, and he supports everyone from the homeowners association. Mr. Dodd highlighted some of the current issues which include: the community entrance, safety fence, road conditions, and general facility maintenance. He advised the Committee that an ambulance had to visit his home last week and the driver commented on the condition of the roads.

Ms. Murray noted sections of the Municipality’s Official Plan and believes that these applications are not in line with the plan. She continued that they do not believe the application meets the proposed density and that this development will cause increased traffic and parking issues. Ms. Murray continued that this development is not compatible with the existing area which consists of single family residential homes that borders a creek supporting wildlife. She added that there are no sidewalks and many of the residents on Tooley Road are on septic systems. Ms. Murray advised the Committee that they are concerned with the proposed parking for this development and the increased traffic congestion which will result in the over flow traffic moving to Tooley Road. She added that she feels there is a lack of infrastructure and that currently Nash Road is a very busy street. Ms. Murray highlighted her concerns regarding the local water supply and wetlands. She noted that Tooley Road had some recent flooding and that the trees in the area provide an ecological benefit for drainage and water supply to the wells. She stated that they are concerned with the proposed water retention pond - 7 - General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes March 30, 2015 – April 9, 2015 being detrimental to the wells due to mosquitoes and other sources contaminating the water.

Mr. Owens noted that he feels Courtice is a terrific community and though he appreciates the residents’ concerns on Tooley Road and Centerfield Drive he feels that this will be a positive development. He added that he knew that this land was going to be developed and there are currently no opportunities in Courtice or Clarington for this type of home. Mr. Owens explained that these homes are referred to as POTLS (Parcels of Tied Land), and they are bungalows with lower maintenance fees. He added that these types of homes give people the opportunity to downsize and stay in the Courtice area. Mr. Kennedy has clients that have had to leave Courtice to find these types of homes and he feels there is a great need for this type of development in Clarington. He noted that it is close to amenities and is accessible. He concluded by noting that Park View Estates in Courtice has bungalow units that are in high demand with very high fees and that this development will give residents the opportunity to downsize into a similar type of home with lower fees. Michael Fry, D.G. Biddle and Associates, spoke on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Fry wanted to address some of the concerns brought forward by the residents. He advised the Committee he is looking to address overall policy including the Provincial Planning Policy and the Places to Grow Act areas within the Municipality of Clarington. He noted that when building on higher density developments, these are intended to limit growth in the green fields and assist the existing community to rely on the existing resources. Mr. Fry added that both the Regional and Clarington’s Official Plans are committed to the health and maintenance of the community. He highlighted some points regarding density in the Clarington Official Plan and noted that this development is in fact low density and has the same intended use as the existing development. Mr. Fry addressed the traffic concerns and noted that a traffic study has been completed and this development will not adversely affect the traffic in this area. He added that there are 245 spots proposed and they will have two car garages with two additional parking spots in the driveways. He concluded by noting that the parking on the private road in the development and the available parking spots meet the zoning requirements. Hannu Halminen, applicant, spoke to the application. He advised the Committee that he wanted to make himself available to answer any additional questions. He noted that a sidewalk will be constructed on Tooley Road to be connected to Nash Road.
