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.
