R.M. Anderson, Regional Chair, Region of Durham, 605 Rossland Road
East, Box 623, Whitby, LIN 6A3 was present to provide a status report on
the activities of the Region of Durham. He indicated that since his last
visit to the Council, the Greater Toronto Services Board has been formed
and is now operating. This being the 25th anniversary of the Region of
Durham, many challenges will be met through the area municipalities
working together. A Governance Committee has been commenced to
review services at the regional and municipal levels, namely Planning,
Works and Fire and a waste study and a Highway No.2 Transit Study has
been undertaken in an attempt to identify savings to the taxpayers.
With 1999 being declared the year of the Older Person, a new 300 bed
Hillsdale Manor has been approved for Oshawa and another 200 bed
facility will be constructed in the near future. Two new interchanges on
the 401 through Durham Region are being constructed and a study is
underway to review the possibility of two more interchanges. In April
1999 a ground breaking ceremony took place to commence construction of
Highway 407 into the Durham Region. The Region has been utili sed by
more film industry people and recently the Township ofUxbridge and the
Town of Pickering each received $10,000 from this sector. In December
the Durham Business Centre was established to assist small businesses in
starting up. Regional Chair Anderson stated that the 25th anniversary
celebrations are an acknowledgement of the fine foundation on which the
Region is built.
George Van Dyk, Clarington Hydro Commission, Box 130, Bowmanville,
L I C 3K9 addressed Council in support of the recommendations contained
in Report ADMIN-17-99, the Hydro Utilities Merger. The merger of the
Clarin&ton, Pickering and Ajax Hydro Electric Commissions will create
the 10 largest electrical distributor in the Province, serving about 60,000
customers. The Municipality will maintain ownership, however, instead
of 100 percent ownership, the Municipality will now own approximately
15 percent of the new incorporated utility. The new corporation will turn
over a total of $12 million to shareholders and the Municipality of
Clarington will receive $1.9 million of this return of equity to
shareholders. The new utility will be incorporated on July 1, 1999. All
Hydro Commissioners will serve as Board of Directors until the end of
this term of office.

there will be a uniform level of service for all customers of the new utility.
Service response and customer accessibility will not decline and improved
levels of service are fully expected. A Service Centre will be maintained
with Clarington. Mr. VanDyk thanked Council for the support, trust and
confidence that has been shown for the Hydro Commission in this
endeavour.
Peter Branton, 21 Jane Avenue, Courtice, LIE 2H9 was called but was not

Ruth Hinkley, 158 Wilmot Trail, Newcastle, LIB IB9 addressed Council

work is concerned with depicting museum displays in counterpoint with
his own personal collection of artifacts. He points out the nature of
collecting, and the assumption of values and beliefs which are perpetuated
through museum collections. The show is based on the well-know truism
that "history is told by the winners," and that museums developed in order
to say "Look what we've come from and where we are going." He also
points out the confirmation of stereotype in museum displays, the
paintings in his show cover all of the bases from a scripted narrative, with
war and religion as the Big Ideas, and featured cultures including
Egyptian, Post Renaissance, and Victorian Colonialism.

Standing Committee on Policies and Resolutions and the National Board
of Directors invites members to submit resolutions on subjects of national
municipal interest for debate at the September 1999 meeting of FCM' s
National Board of Directors. FCM will take a stand only on issues which
are clearly of national municipal interest and which fall within the
jurisdiction of the federal government, the provincial and territorial
governments acting at the interprovincial level, or FCM itself. Indirect
municipal issues and local/regional issues will not be supported by major
research and lobbying activity, unless otherwise directed by the Annual
Conference or by FCM's National Board of Directors. Resolutions should
meet guidelines and should be received by FCM no later than July 30,
1999 for presentation to FCM's Standing Committee of Policies and

Richard J. Howes, 22 Jane Avenue, Courtice, LlE 2H9 advising of
opposition to the proposed subdivision submitted by Blackcreek
Developments Ltd./D.G. Biddle and Associates, for Lots 29 and 30,
Concession 3, Former Township of Darlington. At the General Purpose
and Administration Meeting dated May 4, 1998, Mr. Creamer of
D.G. Biddle and Associates was requested to look at modifying their
subdivision plan to avoid dumping the traffic from the proposed
subdivision through our existing neighbourhood. Mr. Creamer agreed, but
Mr. Howes sees no evidence that the developer looked into alternate
layouts to avoid the extension of Jane A venue. The plan submitted on the
21st of June is the same as a year ago with respect to Jane Avenue and
does not address his concerns regarding the funneling of the new
subdivisions' traffic through Jane Avenue. The neighbourhood design
plan and subdivision plan show total disregard for an established
neighbourhood of almost 50 years and would totally destroy the qualities
that lead him to move there. They are basically a crescent composed of
Jane and Lynwood Avenues and Glenview Road.
'""
The Planning Department dismissed concerns over the extension of Jane
Avenue, saying that it discourages the establishment of cul-de-sacs but
that is not the only alternative treatment of the north-east corner of the
development. The proposed north part of Jane Avenue and Street "B"
could circle back to the north through the 'future development area' on the
plan map and join George Reynolds Drive to form a crescent thereby
giving the desired two accesses to the subdivision.
The traffic study that was conducted is flawed with respect to traffic on
Jane Avenue. Future development in the north-east corner of the plan
shows Street "B" dead-ending at Courtice Road for its exit would be too
close to the George Reynolds Drive exit onto Courtice Road. All of the
traffic, a minimum of 27 households from this street will use Jane Avenue,
and if heading south, will travel though theimeighbourhood. In Report
PD-70-99 under Conditions of Approval, page 5 item 21 it is suggested
that the developer secure lands to complete George Reynolds Drive to
Courtice Road.

He suggests that if the developer fails to secure this land then only the
Fourth Avenue portion of the plan should be allowed to proceed. If the
developer cannot obtain access to Courtice Road then the remaining
development should be delayed. Jane Avenue should not be extended to
provide access. Residents should not be penalised for the sake of the
developer.

Donald Woodard, 1445 Taunton Road East, Courtice, advising of his
concerns about the application to permit construction of detached garage
with an exterior side yard setback of 4 metres instead of the required 10
metre exterior side yard at Part Lot 35, Concession 4, former Township of
Darlington, municipal address 1449 Taunton Road East. The owner of
this property has stated to Mr. Woodard that he is planning to build a
double garage so that he can store supplies and do floral arrangements in
it. Mr. Woodard is reasons for not being in favour of the petition are:
'""
I.
Fire Protection - there is no fire hydrant in this area of the
municipality as they are on well water. If a fire stated at the
property at 1449 Taunton Road East and with the concentration of
all the buildings it could spread to his property and there is only
33' separating the home.
2. Drainage - this residential area is located in a westerly slope
draining to the Harmony Creek. There are no storm sewers. His
home at 1445 Taunton was the first home built near this corner and
it is somewhat level to the original farm fields. The property at
1449 was lower than 1445 Taunton Road East but was back filled
to a height of approximately 3 feet higher than the back of 1445
Taunton Road East. This allows water to run onto 1445 Taunton
and to the next lots. If the owner at 1449 is allowed to build the
detached garage of 768 square feet, it will cause more water to
flow on the neighbouring lot because of the large roof size.
3. If the owner at 1449 Taunton Road East is allowed to build the
attached garage this would be the first step to be taken to enable
him to move his complete business to 1449 Taunton Road East.
He feels that the use of the lot at 1449 Taunton should remain
residential.
