Report #1 - 3 - June 1, 2015
8. Bill 73 — Smart Growth for our Communities Act 2015 Proposed Amendments
to the Planning Act
That Report PSD -030-15 be received;
That Report PSD -030-15 be endorsed as the municipality's comments on Bill 73
with the following addition as a fourth section to Section 39:
Proposed Change — To require, without compensation, dedication of
valleylands and other environmentally sensitive lands through the
subdivision and consent process.
Under the Planning Act, parkland dedication is a requirement. There is no
requirement for the dedication of environmentally sensitive lands. In most
cases, developers are readily agreeable to dedicate these lands as they are
a liability for them. Public ownership of these lands may be important to
implement the PPS to protect the natural environmental features and
potentially for active transportation networks.
In the past, we have had developers who have retained valleylands or other
environmentally sensitive lands for future negotiation purposes. As an
example, the Graham Creek valley and a portion of the Wilmot Creek
wetland in Newcastle Village was retained by two different developers.
Some of this land has been subsequently dedicated. The lands are not
dedicated as the application for plan of subdivision specifically excludes
these lands.
It is recommended that where the Municipality or another public agency (e.g.
Conservation Authority) has identified environmentally sensitive lands for
future public ownership, and these lands are within a property that is subject
to an application for a plan of subdivision or consent, the Act require that
these lands be dedicated to the public authority;
That a copy of Report PSD -030-15 be forwarded to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs
and Housing; and
That Granville Anderson, MPP, the Durham Regional Planning and Economic
Development Department and any delegations be forwarded a copy of Report
PSD -030-15 and Council's decision.

Report #1 - 5 - June 1, 2015
12. Implementing Photo -Radar Enforcement within the Municipality of Clarington
Whereas the residents of the Municipality of Clarington desire to provide safe
communities for pedestrians at and around school properties and other community
safety zones;
And whereas speed of traffic in and around school properties and other community
safety zones is recognized as a serious safety concern;
And whereas the Province of Ontario instituted and authorized a speeding
monitoring system involving the use of Photo -Radar in 1994 in order to reduce
speeds on roadways;
And whereas photo -radar has shown itself to be effective in reducing speeds in
areas in which it is operating;
And whereas the Clarington Safe Communities Committee believes that the use of
photo -radar to reduce vehicle speeds in school and other community safety zones
may be an effective and cost efficient means of helping to create a safer
environment for pedestrians in Clarington;
Now therefore be it resolved that staff, in consultation with DRPS and other
appropriate authorities, consider and prepare a report for Council on the viability of
implementing a program of photo -radar enforcement on municipal roads with the
aim of reducing vehicle speeds and enhancing public safety.
