Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -025-16 Report Overview Page 2 On November 30, 2016, Mayor and Members of Council received a Letter from Kirk Kemp requesting that the names Douglas Kemp and Sandy Rutherford be used for street names in the Northglen East Subdivision (S -C-2007-0005). The letter identified that the farmland this subdivision is located on belonged to the Kemp family, and described the local family roots and local public service endeavours. The request was referred to staff for inclusion in the municipal street name log. Staff have now had the opportunity to review the names for conformity with policies and acceptance by the Region. 1. Background 1.1 On November 30, 2015, Mayor and Members of Council received a letter from Kirk Kemp (Attachment 1) requesting that the names Douglas G. Kemp and Sandy Rutherford be used for street names in the Northglen East Subdivision (S -C-2007- 0005) given the farmland this subdivision is located on belonged to Mr. Kemp's family. 1.2 On December 7, 2015, the Planning and Development Committee passed the following resolution: Y=•7 RR[• IT.IJ U IailrZ, 5V That Communication Item 10.1 from Kirk Kemp regarding a request for a street naming, be referred to Staff and the two names be added to the municipal street log. 2. Discussion 2.1 Douglas Kemp From time to time Council authorizes the use of a name of a community leader for use within a plan of subdivision. The Region of Durham is the overall authority for the approval of street names to ensure that there is no duplication across the Region, including names that are similar or like -sounding. Douglas Kemp has been approved by the Region and the name has been assigned to Plan of Subdivision S -C-2007-0005. 2.2 Sandy Rutherford Bruce Alexander "Sandy" Rutherford's name was reviewed in accordance with the Municipal policy for war dead and war veterans. Staff also investigated whether there was a relation to Rutherford Drive in Newcastle Village and whether the name would be approved by the Region. Sandy Rutherford is the brother of Mr. Kemp's mother. He was born and grew up in Colborne, Ontario until his military service. He joined the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War 2 and died Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -025-16 Page 3 after his plane was shot down on June 22, 1944. Mr. Sandy Rutherford never lived in Clarington. Mr. Kemp was advised about the municipal policy and that Mr. Rutherford's name would not qualify. Furthermore, if we proceeded in accordance with the Committee's resolution, it would displace a Clarington veteran. Mr. Kemp understood this situation and advised that this was not his intent. He has no objection to the removal of Sandy Rutherford's name from the Reserved Street Names list. Not Applicable 4.

Both mom and dad have been quiet community leaders trying to help make Bowmanville a better place for all. I think it would be a nice tribute to them in appreciation of all the volunteer work they both have done over their life time to name a street after them, on our family farm. I would request a street be named Douglas G. Kemp. I also would request another street be named after my mom's brother who was shot -down in a Canadian bomber plane in World War 2, when he was only 21 years old. My brother's name is Sandy as well named after our uncle Sandy. I think it would be fitting and very bice for my mother to have his name be on a street on her families farm. This farm was originally owned by my mom's family. I would ask that a street be named either Aiexander (his proper name) Rutherford or Sandy (name everyone called him) Rutherford I thank you for your consideration on this matter.
