Jennifer Savini, Templeman Menninga LLP, was present regarding Report PSD -033-16,
Extension to Draft Approval for 19 Estate Residential Lots. Ms. Savini explained to the
Committee that she is the Solicitor for the Municipality of Port Hope. Ms. Savini advised
the Committee that Port Hope does not support the request for the extension of the draft
approval. She continued by explaining that this approval was originally granted in 1992
and noted that planning considerations have changed significantly since then. Ms.
Savini stated that, if this application was submitted today, it would not be an adequate
location and it would not have be approved. She continued by explaining that they are
concerned that this area could be a future highway interchange, does not conform to
current policies and could impact future employment areas for Port Hope. Ms. Savini
added that the studies that have been conducted for this area are inadequate and out of
date. She noted that the design standards have changed and if the application was
submitted today that it would not be approved. Ms. Savini stated that this is the third
extension and that this proposed development would not be permitted under current
policies and reiterated that this extension should not be approved. She asked that, if the
extension is approved, all the requirements of the Municipality of Port Hope must be met
as per condition 29 of the draft approval. Ms. Savini added that they have submitted ten
requirements to the Municipality of Clarington. She concluded by offering to answer any
questions from the Committee.
8.2 Cathy Clarke, Regarding Report PSD -033-16, Extension to Draft Approval for
19 Estate Residential Lots
Cathy Clarke was present regarding Report PSD -033-16, Extension to Draft Approval for
19 Estate Residential Lots. Ms. Clarke explained to the Committee that she is the owner
of the subject property and is here representing the Clarke family. She advised the
Committee that she is in support of the recommendations in the Staff Report. Ms. Clarke
reviewed an updated redlined version of the approved draft plan of subdivision which she
distributed as a handout. She noted that there are 19 lots and two blocks of land that will
be merged with two of the lots. Ms. Clarke explained that, when this plan was approved,
the Region of Durham did not require access to Highway 2. She added that this is an
older plan that was approved prior to the Greenbelt Plan and Provincial Policy
Statement. Ms. Clarke advised the Committee that a hydrogeological study has been
completed and was reviewed by the Region of Durham and the Ganaraska Conservation
Authority. She addressed Port Hope's concern regarding the possibility of a future
interchange being located near this land and she noted that she contacted the Ministry of
Transportation and currently there are no plans for an interchange in this area. Ms.
Clarke added there would be other constraints if an interchange were planned, due to
the existing service station and a proposed future truck inspection station. She added
that there is a large block of land that could serve as an interchange in the future if

needed. Ms. Clarke explained that, if land was dedicated for future employment areas,
there would be adequate access to the area. She advised the Committee that there has
been an updated hydrogeological study, peer review, and noise study completed. Ms.
Clarke concluded by explaining the Municipality of Port Hope was contacted in both 2011
and 2014 when the extensions were approved. She added that their consultant had
made several attempts to contact the Municipality of Port Hope and did not have any
response. Ms. Clarke continued by adding that the Municipality of Port Hope now has
submitted a list of requests. She concluded by asking the Committee to support the
recommendations and for Committee's approval for the extension.

Resolution #PD -065-16
Moved by Mayor Foster, seconded by Councillor Neal
That the following Township of Georgian Bay Resolution, endorsed by the Township of
South Frontenac, regarding a no wake restriction, be endorsed by the Municipality of
Clarington:
Whereas the Office of Boating Safety, which administers the Vessel
Operation Restriction Regulations (VORRS) pursuant to the Canada
Shipping Act, 2001, has advised that the issue of "No Wake" is currently
addressed by limiting the speed or power of a vessel;
And whereas the Office of Boating Safety has advised that "No Wake"
is not a restriction found in the Canada Shipping Act, 2001, or its
regulations, and therefore is not an enforceable restriction;
And whereas a boat's wake can do a great deal of damage, including:
• the erosion of shorelines
• the swamping of nests of loons and other waterfowls
• the damaging of docks and vessels moored at docks and at marina
gas pumps
• the danger to swimmers
• the interference with safe navigation
• the disruption of wetland habitat
• the upsetting of canoes and small boats, especially in narrow channels
Be it resolved that the Township of Georgian Bay requests the
Honourable Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport, to address this
dangerous and harmful situation, by implementing legislation that
would provide authorities with the ability to enforce a "No Wake"
restriction in Ontario's navigable waters;
And that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Honourable
Tony Clement, M.P., Parry Sound — Muskoka.
