Carried Derek Lang addressed Council in opposition to Report PSD-019-15 - Applications for a Draft Plan of Subdivision, an Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-law Amendment (H & H Properties Inc.). Mr. Lang stated he has resided in the neighbourhood for 25 years and is concerned with the increase in traffic, the environmental impact and feels the proposed density is not compatible with the existing neighbourhood of single-family dwellings. Mr. Lang indicated that speed and volume of traffic in the area is already of concern and the proposed development will intensify safety concerns. He advised that Centrefield Road and Nash Road are often used as an alternate route when Highway 2 is congested, making the entire area dangerous. Mr. Lang stated he is not against development of the community but does not agree with the high density proposed. He questioned how long construction is expected to take place and where the staging area for construction vehicles will be located. Mr. Lang confirmed that 75 homes were polled regarding the proposed development, noting only three residents chose not to sign the petition opposing it. Council Meeting Minutes - 4 - April 13, 2015 Allan Tibbles, Vice-President, Clarington Older Adult Association Board of Directors addressed Council concerning Report CSD-003-15 – Clarington Older Adult Strategy. Through use of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Tibbles provided the Clarington Older Adult Association’s (COAA) response to the strategy. He indicaed the COAA is opposed to being absorbed by the Municipality and expressed concern they were not provided with an opportunity to offer an alternate vision prior to the report being published. Mr. Tibbles highlighted financial information and diversity of activities offered advising the cost to provide social, recreational and fitness needs of nearly 2400 seniors was equivalent to $88 per person, per year. Mr. Tibbles addressed recommendations in the report noting the Centre currently meets or exceeds the expectations in every category except parking. He stated the Association believes the cost to the taxpayer will significantly increase if the Municipality takes over and that they have a great solution that will satisfy everyone. Mr. Tibbles reviewed the COAA’s 2-year vision which included requesting the Municipality to provide dedicated space in Orono, Solina, the Courtice Community Complex and the Newcastle & District Recreation Complex to provide outreach to the smaller communities and to provide a broad range of services, the implementation of a new Membership scheme with the establishment of a new “Action Card”, the potential for partnerships and requesting a senior member of the Community Services Department to join the Board to assist with implementation of the outreach centres. Mr. Tibbles suggested that the staff structure remain the same during the trial period. He advised that should their solution not prove successful after two years the Association would accede and hand over operations. Mr. Tibbles summarized by stating the vision supports the needs of the growing demographic with no significant increase in costs and felt it would be a win- win situation for everyone. Allan Bayliss, Treasurer, Clarington Older Adult Association Board of Directors, addressed Council concerning Report CSD-003-15 – Clarington Older Adult Strategy. Through use of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Bayliss provided cost and staffing comparisons between the Oshawa Senior Citizens Centre, which is Municipally- governed, and the COAA which is self-governed. He advised the COAA received a $310,000 grant from the municipality and reviewed a break-down of expenses and revenue. Mr. Bayliss stated that $100,000 is allocated solely on maintaining the Beech Centre, leaving $210,000 to spend on programs. He noted the Lions Club has a long-standing agreement for operating the bar and is the Club’s largest source of revenue. Mr. Bayliss acknowledged that the report praises the work of the COAA in how it performs and what it achieves. He stated members are confused in that if the Association is doing such a great job, why change it. Mr. Bayliss suggested that the Association be allowed to continue their good works but be given the support and cooperation needed to achieve greater goals. He respectfully requested the COAA’s participation in all aspects of the Community Services Department’s evaluation process should it proceed. Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - April 13, 2015 Barb Singleton addressed Council concerning Report CSD-003-15 – Clarington Older Adult Strategy. Ms. Singleton stated she is a new Board member this year and has been a member of the Clarington Older Adult Association (COAA) for just over three years. Ms. Singleton advised the Centre has 218 volunteers who contributed 22,500 volunteer hours last year and helped raise $42,000. She indicated that this year’s fundraising goal is $60,000. Ms. Singleton questioned if any thought had been given to the impact the report would have on the volunteers and fundraising efforts. She confirmed that Allan Tibbles, Allan Bayliss and she were the only delegations speaking on behalf of the Board and that other speakers would be addressing Council as concerned residents. Resolution #C-104-15 Moved by Councillor Partner, seconded by Councillor Woo That Council recess for ten minutes. Carried The meeting reconvened at 8:42 PM Ted Brown addressed Council concerning Report CSD-003-15 – Clarington Older Adult Strategy. Mr. Brown indicated that he is a volunteer at the Clarington Older Adult Centre and enjoys the experience because of the feeling of warmth, connection and caring that is evident at the Centre and his loyalty to the staff and the organization itself. Mr. Brown stated he has been actively involved both professionally and personally in the community with many organizations and feels the COAA is the best- run organization he has belonged to and it has very capable employees. Mr. Brown indicated the Association’s membership is over 2300, and the programs are successful and attract new members. He stated he is very concerned this could change and urged the Municipality not to take over the Centre but support the seniors and work with the Executive to expand the services. Taylor Murray addressed Council in opposition to Report PSD-019-15 - Applications for a Draft Plan of Subdivision, an Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-law Amendment (H & H Properties Inc.). Ms. Murray stated her family moved to Tooley Road six years ago and noted the uniqueness of having a rural road running between two subdivisions. Ms. Murray indicated that over the past six years she has met many people in Courtice who know Tooley Road as the street with the big lots and houses. She stated her mother worked two separate careers to provide for their lifestyle on Tooley Road and does not want to see what she and the community have worked for disappear into the sea of cookie-cutter development. Ms. Murray feels the culture of Tooley Road should be preserved for the future of Clarington and future development should complement the current neighbourhood. Council Meeting Minutes - 6 - April 13, 2015 John Van Seters addressed Council in opposition to Report PSD-019-15 - Applications for a Draft Plan of Subdivision, an Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-law Amendment (H & H Properties Inc.). Mr. Van Seters stated he has been a resident of Tooley Road for six years, noting that one of the things that attracted his family to the area was its character, trees and open spaces. Mr. Van Seters indicated that his family is not opposed to development, but are opposed to this plan as it does not fit in with the surrounding area. Mr. Van Seters read quotes from Roger Bouma, local real estate professional indicating that single-family homes are still the most popular in Durham Region. Mr. Van Seters stated that over 400 people signed a petition opposing the development at this site and that the development will be a slap in the face to longer-term residents. He respectfully requested Council not to support the application and expressed appreciation to the many friends and neighbours for coming out tonight in support of his delegation. Kristina Vizza addressed Council in opposition to Report PSD-019-15 - Applications for a Draft Plan of Subdivision, an Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-law Amendment (H & H Properties Inc.). Ms. Vizza stated she has lived her entire childhood on Tooley Road and is concerned because of the mix of 80 townhouses proposed. She is unsure of what is actually being approved as reference has been made to 80, 82, 84 or 86 units and the agents for the developer could not provide the answer. Ms. Vizza stated that she understands the concept of intensification but that the proposed development on Tooley Road does not fit intensification. She advised that new development should be compatible with the existing community and that current residents want to see single-detached homes on the vacant lots. Ms. Vizza is also concerned with the two exits on Tooley Road and the negative impact on traffic and the impact of increased population on water supply. She noted over 500 constituents have signed a petition opposed to the development and she submitted a copy of the petition. Ms. Vizza noted this issue has connected the local community and its passion to preserve Tooley Road. Wendy Kamstra addressed Council in opposition to Report PSD-019-15 - Applications for a Draft Plan of Subdivision, an Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-law Amendment (H & H Properties Inc.). Ms. Kamstra provided a personal account of her reasons for purchasing a home on Tooley Road, how the proposed development would affect her son’s care and wellbeing, and her need to protect this investment for his future. She expressed concern that the development would change the face of the road and disrupt the quietness of the area. Ken Ferguson addressed Council in opposition to Report PSD-019-15 - Applications for a Draft Plan of Subdivision, an Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-law Amendment (H & H Properties Inc.). Mr. Ferguson stated he has lived on Centrefield Drive for 30 years and has watched the community grow. He stated that residents are saying “no” to high density development due to the increase in traffic which will add to the current congestion, accidents and near-misses experienced on a daily basis. He expressed concern that wildlife will be displaced, wetland habitat and flora will be affected and the investment that area residents have made in their properties will diminish. Mr. Ferguson stated that these types of developments often become rental units and expressed concern that they will not be well maintained. Council Meeting Minutes - 7 - April 13, 2015 He stated that there is a perception by the residents that this is a done deal and hopes that this is not the case. Mr. Ferguson confirmed that residents are opposed to the development as proposed, and requested that single-family homes be developed as approved in 2002. Don Welsh, Member, Clarington Older Adult Association,addressed Council concerning Report CSD-003-15 – Clarington Older Adult Strategy. Mr. Welsh provided a history of the establishment of the Clarington Older Adult Association (COAA) at its current location, noting the older adults had opposed this location for reasons that have been problems ever since, including lack of parking. Mr. Welsh quoted several statements referenced in the strategy. He stated the issue of space could have been previously addressed to accommodate the large influx seniors based on data available at the time but this was not done. Mr. Welsh stated the Municipality could build a facility that would have a large room that could be used by the community. He stated he could not see the benefit of changing the composition of the board or staffing at this time, and suggested that the Municipality fix the real problem - the lack of parking and lack of facilities and consider changes only once these issues have been addressed. Coby Booth addressed Council concerning Report CSD-003-15 – Clarington Older Adult Strategy. Ms. Booth expressed concern that should the Municipality assume the responsibility of providing older adult services it will be a costly enterprise, as many volunteers will not continue to donate their time and unionized staff will be required to do the work of the volunteers. She stated fundraising efforts will also decrease and the cost to run the COAA will increase. She advised that the Board and staff are well- qualified to run the Centre and requested that Council consider the two-year plan put forward by Mr. Tibbles.
