Presentations
Steven Usher, SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. addressed Council to provide an update
on activities for the Hydro One Clarington Transformer Station and to convey
preliminary findings of the peer review. Through use of a PowerPoint presentation,
Mr. Usher reiterated the objectives of the peer review in assisting Members of Council,
staff, stakeholders and members of the public in understanding complex, technical
documentation from Hydro One and others. He reviewed activities that have occurred
since December including continuing liaison with several members of the public,
Hydro One technical staff and their consultants and working through a variety of
technical issues. He noted that SLR has had the opportunity to review the Permit to
Take Water application and have provided comments through staff to the Ministry of
the Environment and Climate Change and have met with Ministry staff to discuss
concerns and to respond to technical questions. Mr. Usher provided an update on the
drilling of bore holes. He also indicated that their Ecologist has provided comments
on the ecology of the site. Mr. Usher stated he could also respond to any outstanding
questions Council may have on the rotosonic proposal. Mr. Usher reviewed the initial
conceptual geologic block model of the site developed in November and the site
conceptual geologic model developed after the deep hole and other holes have been
drilled and following examination of detailed technical information. He detailed the
pathways of the Mackinaw layer and discussed the existence of the Halton Till.
Council Meeting Minutes - 4 - April 27, 2015
Mr. Usher reiterated that the deep Thorncliffe Aquifer and the wells within it are
protected. He advised of the need to understand how the Till protects the shallow
wells in the Mackinaw layer. Mr. Usher concluded that the Environmental Assessment
(EA) could have been more detailed but noted that the basic premise and sense was
found there and that most of the answers SLR have received to questions asked on
behalf of the Municipality have been reassuring. Mr. Usher expressed concern that no
formal risk assessment was conducted but acknowledged that the assessment is
sometimes not done in this level of an EA. He noted that additional drilling has
backed up Hydro One's assertion of safety but that there are outstanding questions
regarding the sand layer to the east of the site. He also stated that it is reassuring that
Hydro One has reached out to CLOCA and that the reclamation plan is one that
should work.
Steve Usher responded to questions from Members of Council.

21 Page
funding available for accessibility projects or creating a new accessibility driven grant
program. The CIP group members suggested that a brochure be prepared with
testimonials by people that have received grants (including their names) since word of
mouth is the best promotion.
Orono Community Improvement Program — F. Langmaid asked if anyone from the
committee that lived in the Orono area was interested in being a representative on the
Orono CIP committee. The current representative is Karen Murphy who is the past
representative and she agreed to continue to represent the Heritage Committee despite
not serving on the Heritage Committee this term. Peter Vogel indicated he would be
willing to act as the representative.
F. Langmaid reported that the next meeting will be a combined meeting with the Orono
CIP group and the Orono BIA. The joint meeting will allow the two groups to inform

A new executive committee was elected in March at the Annual General Meeting.
The annual Doors Open event will be held on June 13, 2015. The focus will be on
properties in the Leskard and Kirby areas. There is an opportunity for the heritage
committee to have an exhibit as part of the event if desired. Doors Open is always
looking for more volunteers for their event. They will be handing out information at the
MapleFest.

someone who wishes to represent the Museum Board on the Heritage Committee.

volunteer with the Museum for over 30 years. The information regarding the award will
be forwarded to Council, to allow Council the opportunity to recognize Susan.
407 Designated Properties and Municipal Register Properties — At the last meeting the
committee requested staff consult with the Ministry of Transportation to identify what
steps the Municipality should take with respect to the designated and municipal register
properties that have.or will be demolished by the 407 extension.
F. Langmaid reported that staff had contacted the Ministry of Transportation and the
Ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism and both provided similar answers. The
comments indicated that the moment the province took ownership of the properties the
designating by -laws and municipal registry provisions under the Ontario Heritage Act
had no effect. The Ontario Heritage Act is clear that the provisions of the Act do not
effect land that is owned by the Crown.
41 Page
Both Ministries suggested the Municipality repeal the designating by -laws and remove
the properties from the municipal registry. This would update our records, the history of
the properties should be outlined on the website.
15.07 Moved by Victor Suppan, seconded by Steve Conway
THAT Clarington Heritage Committee, based on the ownership and actions of the
Province, recommend to Council the designating by -laws for 1909 Bloor Street and

Bethesda Road and 7500 Highway 35/115 be removed from the Municipal Register.

for longer term goals for the committee to move forward with.

meeting. The Heritage Committee has had a booth in previous years promoting

3. Arena manager's Report — Repairs had been required to one of the 6
furnaces in the building causing a temporary disruption to the activities
of Newcastle Family Connection. With no heat upstairs they relocated

on the north end of the building took place. Regional Councillor Woo
offered to discuss these issues with Mr. Horvath, in the Operations Dept.
A report and follow-up on all these issues will be tabled for the next
meeting, in March.
Gary Oliver also brought up the concern of our staff not being identified
properly, while on duty in the arena. This continues to be a problem to
have the proper windbreakers or jackets available with `Arena Staff"
visibly shown for patrons to identify, if needed. Bryan will take this task
on and obtain pricing and jacket selection for our next meeting.
It was also reported by Jay Summers that corrections to the Tim
Horton's signage in the arena was required. As Tim's marketing dept.

cover the cost. It will be rectified this summer, once the ice is out and we
can get a lift truck on the floor to get someone up to the Score Board sign.

Subject, DEVELOPMENT CHARGES STUDY AND BY -LAW,
REPORT FND - 007 -16 AND BY -LAW 2016 -035
FINANCE
Further to the General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting of May 4th, 2015,
Committee provided direction to staff through an amendment to FND - 007 -15 to amend the
proposed Development Charges By -law to exclude larger industrial properties from the
expanded existing industrial development exemption shown in paragraph 29, but rather only
permit the statutory exemption provided under the Development Charges Act. As a result of
the Committee direction, By -law 2015 -035, to be ratified at the Council meeting of Monday,
May 11, 2015 has been amended as follows:
A new subsection 29(6) has been added that reads as follows:
(6) The exemption provided in subsections (1) through (5) above shall not apply to existing
industrial buildings located on land that is in the "large industrial property class" as defined in
subsection 14(1) of O. Reg. 282198 passed under the Assessment Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. A.31,
however the exemption provided in section 4 of the Act shall apply to such buildings.
Also, for clarity, the words "constructed on a vacant lot" shall be added after the words "new
industrial building" in section 30 pertaining to the exemption for new industrial development.
Staff would also like to propose a further amendment to the proposed Development Charges
Bylaw 2015 -036 relating to the revitalization and transit hub exemptions. Part of the
submission from Weston Consulting noted the additional costs of building with a higher quality
product like masonry. Much of our multi- storey buildings to date have included vinyl siding,
which is a less durable product, can look poor as it ages, requires more maintenance, does not
have the same sound attenuation properties as masonry and is less energy efficient. Staff feel

that the substantial exemptions provided should only be for projects using higher quality
building materials.
Therefore staff would recommend amending Sections 31, 34 and 35 to add the words
"masonry- clad" in front of apartment buildings and mixed use buildings in these sections.
If Council is supportive of this, a resolution as follows would be appropriate for the Council
meeting of May 11, 2015:
"That the Development Charges By -law Number 2015 -035, Sections 31, 34 and 35 be
amended to add the words "masonry- clad" in front of apartment buildings, mixed -use buildings
and retirement residence in these sections."

D - 9 Jeff Goldman, Principal, Durham Custom Homes, writing further to his
delegation to the General Purpose and Administration Committee of May 4,
2015, regarding the matter of development charge incentives for the Gardens
of Farewell Creek Development, 1469 and 1463 Highway 2, Courtice; thanking
Council for their thoughtful deliberation and consideration of the matter,
specifically the in -depth discussion regarding Community Incentive Programs
(CIP's) and the appropriateness of designating these lands within a Community
Incentive Area; indicating that it is of vital importance that any development
incentives be done so expediently as they have a direct impact on project
financing and viability; and, respectfully urging Council to direct staff to move
forward with the process of CIP designation for this zone as quickly as possible
and also enter into discussions with the Developer to identify which CIP
incentives may be most appropriate for these properties
