THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON
REPORT
Meeting: GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE File# ,(V\C)
Date: OCTOBER 20, 1997 Res. 7`
By-Law#
Report#: CD-47-97 File#:
Subject: STATUS REPORT - MOSPORT ACTIVITIES DURING 1997
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report CD-47-97 be received;
2. THAT a copy of Report CD-47-97 be forwarded to IMSG Properties Ltd. Mosport,
Mosport Park Limited and the North Clarington Ratepayers' Association Inc.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
On June 9, 1997, Council considered Addendum to Report CD-26-97 and subsequently
passed amendments to the Municipality's Noise By-law, Public Entertainment, Festivals and
Parades By-law and Exhibitions Held for Hire or Gain By-law. With respect to Mosport
Park, the amendment to the noise by-law sets out maximum levels of audible sound for
various times of the day, whether the sound emanates from music or racing. In the report, it
was stated that IMSG's first year of operation of the Mosport site would be used as a test
period.
During the season, four main points became evident through the sound measurements:
• review of the by-law is required with respect to the areas to the north-east and east of
the park
• previously agreed upon noise control efforts for the oval track will need to be put in
place
• noise emanating from concerts will need to be reduced
• scheduling of events will need to coincide with the time limits in the by-law
