REPORT NO.: PSD.111.05
PAGE 2
1.0 APPLICATION DETAILS
1.1 Owner/Applicant: 1559300 Ontario Limited (Ron Robinson Ltd.)
1.2 Clarington Official Plan Amendment:
To change the designation of the lands from "Oak Ridges Moraine" to
permit the expansion of mineral aggregate operation.
1.3 Zoning By-law Amendment:
To change the current zoning on the lands from "Agricultural (A)" to an
appropriate zone to permit the expansion of a mineral aggregate
operation.
1.4 Site Area: 62.1 ha
2.0 LOCATION
2.1 The subject property is located at 3086 Regional Road 20 just west of Darlington
Manvers Townline Road and north of Regional Road 20 being Part Lots 1 and 2,
Concession 9 in the former Township of Darlington (see Attachment 1).
3.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING LAND USES
3.1 Most of the subject lands are being used for agricultural purposes. At the north east
corner of the property is a 7.5 ha woodland. A Hydro One transmission corridor
easement is located across the northem portion of the site. A single dwelling and a
couple of out buildings exist on the subject property, fronting onto Regional Road 20.
Adjacent to the residential dwelling located on the property, and surrounded by the
subject lands, are two residences on properties of approximately 1 acre in size.
3.2 To the west of the subject lands is the existing aggregate licence area (20.38 ha). The
proposed expansion will include the existing licensed area.
3.3 Surroundinq Uses
North Woodlands and Hydro One transmission corridor easement.
South Regional Road 20, mineral aggregate site, agricultural land and rural
residences.
East Darlington Manvers Townline Road, mineral aggregate licensed site (presently
forested and undisturbed), rural residence and woodlands
West Existing aggregate extraction area (Kovac's Pit), Murphy Road, and agriculture.
4.0 APPLICATION BACKGROUND AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
4.1 On April 28, 2005 applications were received for an Official Plan Amendment and a
Zoning By-law Amendment to change the land use to permit the expansion of the
existing aggregate extraction area. An application was submitted on April 29, 2005 to
amend the Durham Region Official Plan (ROPA 2005-006).
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-05
PAGE 3
4.2 The application proposes to expand the existing licensed mineral aggregate operation
easterly onto the adjoining 62 ha of land. It is intended that the existing residence will
remain within the licensed area, providing employee housing or a future office for the
extraction operation. Although the woodland and hydro corridor within the north east
portion of the site are included within the licensed boundary, this area has been left out
of the proposed extraction limits.
4.3 The depth of the extraction operation will be approximately 35 to 40 metres below
existing grade and 2 m above groundwater table. Taking into account the setbacks, the
woodlot and a 30 metre buffer around the woodlot, the total area to be extracted,
including the area presently licensed will be 60.83 ha. Extraction will proceed from west
to east with progressive rehabilitation following extraction of each phase.
4.4 The operation will involve excavation, screening, crushing and blending of materials.
There is no washing of aggregate proposed. Importing of limestone products for resale
or for blending with on-site materials is also proposed. The importation and resale of
limestone will be dependent upon on-site extraction. In other words, if no extraction
occurs, then limestone cannot be imported to the site.
4.5 The following studies have been submitted in support of the applications:
. Level I and II Natural Environment Reports, Oak Ridges Moraine Conformity
Report and Natural Heritage Study prepared by Stantec Consulting Ltd, dated
April 20 2005
. Technical Background Report prepared by Skelton Brumwell and Associates,
dated April 7, 2005
. Traffic Impact Study prepared by Skelton Brumwell and Associates, dated April
1 , 2005
. Background Hydrogeologic Assessment prepared by Ian D. Wilson Associates,
dated January 18, 2005
. Sound Impact Analysis prepared by Valcoustics Canada Ltd, dated April 6, 2005
5.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT
5.1 The PPS states that as much of the mineral aggregate resources as is realistically
possible shall be made available as close to markets as possible and that extraction
shall minimize social and environmental impacts. Progressive and final rehabilitation is
required and the interim nature of extraction shall be recognized. Final rehabilitation
shall be compatible with surrounding land uses and approved land uses designations.
Within prime agricultural areas, extraction is permitted as an interim land use provided
that substantially the same amount of area and same average soil quality is restored
through rehabilitation for agricultural use.
5.2 The PPS prohibits aggregate extraction within significant habitat of endangered species
and threatened species, significant wetlands and fish habitat. Extraction cannot occur
within significant woodlands, significant valleylands, significant wildlife habitat and
significant areas of natural and scientific interest if extraction would cause negative
impacts on the feature or ecological functions. Lastly, extraction cannot occur on lands
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-05
PAGE 4
adjacent to any of the features identified above if the extraction would have a negative
impact on the feature or its ecological function.
5.3 The PPS requires that the long-term availability and use of land, resources and
infrastructure be optimized, hence supporting future economic prosperity.
5.4 Planning authorities are to protect, improve and restore the quality and quantity of water
by, among other things, implementing restrictions on development in order to protect,
vulnerable surface and ground water resources. Also, linkages and related functions
among surface and groundwater features and natural heritage features shall be
maintained.
6.0 OAK RIDGES MORAINE CONSERVATION PLAN
6.1 Within the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP), the subject lands are
designated "Countryside Area". Lands to the east, west and south of the site are also
designated "Countryside Area". The lands to the north are designated "Natural Core
Area". The policies of the ORMCP take precedence over any conflicting policies of the
PPS. The ORMCP permits mineral aggregate operations within lands designated
"Countryside Area" provided that:
. the quantity and quality of groundwater and surface water will be maintained
. as much of the site as possible will be rehabilitated;
. key natural heritage features on the site and adjacent lands are maintained,
improved or restored; and
. areas of natural and scientific interest (earth science) are protected.
6.2 The ORMCP further require the health, diversity, size and connectivity of any key
natural heritage feature (that is not a young plantation or early successional habitat)
either on the site or adjacent to the site, shall be maintained, or where possible,
improved or restored.
6.3 Clarington has undertaken the necessary conformity amendments to the COP and
Zoning By-law, incorporating the provisions of the ORMCP. These documents have
been passed by Council and are currently before the Minister of Municipal Affairs and
Housing for approval.
7.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
7.1 Durham Region Official Plan
The lands are designated "Major Open Space - Oak Ridges Moraine (Countryside)" in
the Durham Region Official Plan. An amendment is required for any expansion of an
existing aggregate operation onto lands not identified as a Resource Extraction Area.
Application for amendment shall be accompanied by technical studies to assess
potential impacts on water resources and natural heritage. Studies shall also be
submitted to address impacts of noise, dust and truck traffic haul routes. The Region is
undergoing the peer review process of these studies.
REPORT NO.: PSD.111.05
PAGE 5
7.2 Clarington Official Plan
The lands are designated "Oak Ridges Moraine" and uses permitted include
conservation, reforestation, agriculture and passive recreational uses. Aggregate
extraction is not a permitted use although the Plan provides for site specific
amendments in the consideration of aggregate pits.
In June 2004, Council adopted Amendment No. 33, being the ORMCP conformity
amendment. Once approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the
designation of these lands will be "General Agricultural Area" and "Environmental
Protection", The Environmental Protection designation recognizes the woodlot in the
northeast portion of the land holdings as it is significant. The subject lands are within an
area having the highest aquifer vulnerability rating and are in a primary area of potential
aggregate resource. Amendment to the Official Plan is required to permit the proposed
use. The proposed amendment is contained in Attachment 2 to this report.
Aggregate extraction shall occur in an orderly and efficient manner with a minimum of
environmental, social and financial impacts. The wise use of aggregate resources shall
be balanced with the Municipality's responsibility to protect the ecological integrity of the
natural heritage system, rural landscapes and the quality of life of Clarington residents.
For instance, expansion of an aggregate extraction area shall not be permitted within a
significant woodland or within a settlement area.
The Official Plan recommends that an area-wide rehabilitation plan be prepared in
consultation with the Region of Durham, the Province and the aggregate industry. The
purpose of the plan is to identify long term rehabilitation of the landscape ensuring
appropriate landforms are created and the ecological integrity of the ORM is
maintained.
Sections 15.3.6 and 15.3.9 of the Official Plan requires that an Aggregate Extraction
Area study be submitted. This study shall address existing land uses and features,
provide a description of the operation including an extraction plan, and identify and
assess all impacts of the proposed development. In accordance with Section 15.3.8,
the Municipality can conduct a peer review of the Aggregate Extraction Area Study at
the expense of the applicant.
8.0 ZONING BY.LAW
8.1 The lands are zoned "Agriculture (A)" which does not permit aggregate extraction. In
June 2005, Council adopted Zoning By-law 2005-109, rezoning lands within the ORM.
This by-law is before the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for approval. Once
approved the lands will be zoned "Prime Agricultural", "Environmental Protection" and
"Prime Agricultural subject to Environmental Holding Symbol". The latter zones are
established to ensure that appropriate studies are undertaken to determine setbacks
from natural features. Rezoning is required to permit the proposed use.

9.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
9.1 Public Notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site
and the public notice signs were erected on the three road frontages. In addition, notice
of the public meeting was posted on the Municipality's web site.
9.2 As of the date of writing this report, Staff have received a number of comments from the
public. The following summarizes the questions and concerns raised in these letters:
. This is an increase of almost 400% from what is currently permitted today.
. Proximity of pit to residential properties, impact on rural residential quality of life,
and negative impact on property values.
. Impact of dust and dirt on enjoyment of residential properties.
. Loss of continued use of land for agricultural purposes, is farmland considered a
natural heritage feature?
. Impact on animals and birds, specifically the red-shouldered hawk, and impact
on wildlife linkages
. Impact of air quality from diesel equipment
. Inconsistencies in the content of hydrogeologic report.
. Concern about the recommendations and conclusion of the noise report.
. Will Clarington conduct independent reports on the technical issues?
. Noise and vibration from existing local aggregate operations is currently
disruptive. Noise and vibration generated from this proposal will add to existing
levels.
. Will calcium chloride used to control dust, impact groundwater quality?
. Who will monitor contaminants including oil and gas from mechanical equipment
and fertilizers used during rehabilitation?
. Safety of children walking on Murphy Road to meet the school bus at the corner
of Regional Road 20 and Murphy Road.
. How will the current entrance handle an increase in traffic?
. Entrance should be relocated to Regional Road 20.
. Just east of the intersection of Murphy Road and Regional Road 20 is a crest
that obscures visibility of on-coming traffic. Also, this intersection is used as a
location for school bus drop off and pick up and the mail boxes are also found at
this intersection.
. Additional traffic will further degrade condition of Murphy Road and other roads.
. Does expansion onto lands not licensed for aggregate extraction qualify as a new
licence?
. Confusion exists about who owns the lands and whether someone who does not
own the land can apply to change the land use?
. The ORM CP requires a 1.25 km corridor to be maintained in linkage areas. Will
there be a 1.25km corridor?
. Will progressive rehabilitation occur in conformity with the ORMCP and
Aggregate Resources Act?
. Applicant should pay 50% of the cost of upgrading Regional Road 20 which was
paid for by the aggregate operator to the south as this operation will also benefit
from these lane improvements.
REPORT NO.: PSD.111.05

11.0 STAFF COMMENTS
11.1 These applications for Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment are to
permit the expansion of the existing mineral aggregate operation onto the adjacent
62 ha of land. The existing licensed area is on 20 ha with an annual maximum
extraction limit of 350,000 tonnes. In addition to expanding the licensed area, the
applicant is also proposing to increase the allowable annual tonnage to 1 million tonnes.
The applicant has submitted an application to amend the Durham Region Official Plan
(ROPA 2005-006) and the Region is undergoing the peer review process.
11.2 The applicant is proposing to have the existing pit's main entrance on Murphy Road
utilized for all future phases of extraction. This would require additional ongoing
maintenance of the road by the Municipality and is a source of concern for some
residents. Final location of the main entrance has yet to be resolved.
11.3 All comments submitted, including those from the public have been forwarded to the
applicant for review and consideration.
11.4 There are a number of issues that need to be addressed including:
. Assessing the impact of this development on natural heritage features, including
groundwater and reviewing proposed mitigation measures if necessary;
. Assessing the impact of this development on surrounding land uses and
reviewing proposed mitigation measures if necessary;
. Main entrance location and assessment of the impact of traffic on existing roads;
REPORT NO.: PSD-111-05
PAGE 8
. Completion of peer review of technical studies.
11.5 Staff have not completed a review of the studies submitted in support of this application
Staff comments will be reviewed together with the comments received from the public
and the peer consultant prior to additional consideration of these applications.
11.6 The proposed licenced area includes the woodlot and the portion of the Hydro One
easement to the north, although it is not in the "area to be extracted". The woodlot
would be better protected if excluded from the licenced area.
12.0 CONCLUSIONS
12.1 The purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirements for the Public Meeting under the
Planning Act, and taking into consideration the outstanding comments, staff respectfully
request that this report be referred back to staff for further processing and the
preparation of a subsequent report.

1.1
APPLICATION DETAILS
Owner:
Ridge Pine Park Inc.
1.2 Applicant: (same as owner)
1.3 Clarington Official Plan Amendment:
To provide for the westward expansion of the Urban Residential designation
subject to Special Policy Area B (Wilmot Creek Lifestyle Community) be
redesignating lands currently designated Waterfront Greenway.
1.4 Rezoning: Appropriate to permit proposed uses
1.5 Area: Area to be developed: 6.483 hectares (16.02 acres)
1.6 Location: The area to be developed is at the western limits of Wilmot Creek
Community in Part of Lot 4, Broken Front Concession, former Township of
Darlington.
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 On June 24,2005, the Planning Services Department received from Ridge Pine Park Inc.
an application to amend the Clarington Official Plan and an application to rezone the area
for expansion of the "gated" residential community. The official plan amendment
application was submitted to provide for the westward expansion of the Urban Residential
designation within Special Policy Area B on lands currently designated Waterfront
Greenway. The rezoning was submitted to permit approximately 67 dwellings, all low
density, and related private streets in the 6.483 hectares (16.02 acres) area to be
developed. It is proposed that the balance of the site of 7.287 hectares (18.01 acres) be
acquired for municipal park purposes.
3.0 LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES
3.1 The area to be developed is currently vacant.
3.2 The surrounding land uses are as follows:
North: C.N. Railway
South: one dwelling on a rural residential lot and Lake Ontario
East: West End of Wilmot Creek Community
West: the above referenced lot and Bennett Road
4.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
4.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject
property and two public notice signs were installed, one approximately midway on the
Bennett Road frontage and one at the west end of the cul-de-sac terminating Hinkley Trail.
Public Notice was also posted on the Notice Board at the Wilmot Creek Community Centre
(the Wheelhouse).
REPORT NO.: PSD-112-05
PAGE 3
The previous proposed expansion of Wilmot Creek Community, to the north, applied for at
an earlier date, generated several interested parties who were also mailed public notice for
the subject Official Plan Amendment and rezoning.
The applicant indicated they would hold a community information meeting for the residents
of Wilmot Creek Community at the Wheelhouse and that they have already presented the
proposal to the Wilmot Creek Homeowners Association.
4.2 As of the writing of this report, the Planning Services Department has received two
telephone inquiries and one e-mail inquiry with respect to the applications. One telephone
inquiry was from a neighbour from outside Wilmot Creek Community. Two of the inquiries
were with respect to status and timing of the application. The third inquiry from a
Clarington resident asked how the western expansion related to previous expansion
applications. Staff clarified that previous expansion applications were to not only expand
Wilmot Creek but to expand the urban area as well, whereas the western expansion
proposal was within the Bowmanville Urban Area.
5.0 OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY
5.1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan, the subject property is designated as Living
Area and the application conforms.
5.2 Within the Clarington Official Plan, the subject property is designated as Waterfront
Greenway within an urban area. The predominant use of land is for recreation, tourism
uses, conservation and agricultural uses. The application does not conform, hence this
application. The lands east of the subject property are Urban Residential within Special
Policy Area B. The Special Policy Area recognizes the private leasehold community
catering to seniors or retired residents. It is the policy of the Municipality to provide public
access to the waterfront, protect natural and cultural heritage resources and ensure land
use compatibility.
6.0 ZONING BY -LAW COMPLIANCE
6.1 The subject property is zoned "Agricultural (A)". The proposal for approximately 67
dwellings does not conform, hence, this rezoning application.
7.0 AGENCY COMMENTS
7.1 The rezoning application was circulated to various agencies and other departments by the
Planning Services Department. Rogers Cable and Clarington Emergency and Fire
Services had no objections. Other comments received to date are as follows.
7.2 The Ministry of Transportation had no objections in principle, and advised they are
reviewing the Traffic Impact Study submitted in support of the application.
7.3 Bell Canada and Enbridge Gas have no objection to the application subject to conditions
of approval.
REPORT NO.: PSD-112-05
PAGE 4
7.4 Clarington Engineering Services advised they have concems regarding the proposal. The
existing municipal roadways are rural and not urban and the absence of storm sewers
combined with no upgrading plans in the foreseeable future led the Department to request
that no approval be provided at this time.
7.5 C.N. Rail requested two policies regarding noise, vibration, setbacks, berms and fencing
be included in the official plan amendment. They also requested a 30 metre setback be
specified in the zoning by-law amendment. C.N. Rail also had three technical comments
on the noise feasibility study.
7.6 Comments remain outstanding from: Hydro One Networks Inc., Central Lake Ontario
Conservation, Regional Planning and Works Departments.
8.0 STAFF COMMENTS
8.1 In 2002, the applicant submitted an application to amend the Durham Regional Official
Plan to expand the boundaries of the retirement community and the Bowmanville Urban
Area to include the lands between the railway corridor, Highway 35/115, Highway 401 and
Bennett Road. The area subject of the 2002 application was referred to as Phases 7 & 8 of
the retirement community. The 2002 application is being considered by the Region as part
of the Region of Durham Official Plan Review.
8.2 The current application if approved would also allow an expansion of the retirement
community, however the expansion area is within the Bowmanville Urban Area boundary.
The applicant advised that although they do own the land between Bennett Road and the
west limits of the application. they do not plan to expand the residential community any
further west than the limits of the lands subject of this application.
9.0 CONCLUSIONS
9.1 As the purpose of this report is to give the status of the application for the public meeting,
and identify comments and issues received to date, it is appropriate to have the application
referred back to staff for further processing.

REPORT NO.: PSD.113.05
PAGE 3
5.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
5.1 The lands are designated Living Area in the Durham Region Official Plan. Lands
designated Living Area permit the development of residential units, incorporating the
widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure.
5.2 The lands are within the Bowmanville East Main Central Area Secondary Plan of
Clarington Official Plan. The East Business District Land Use Schedule of the
Secondary Plan designates the lands both High Density and Medium Density
Residential. In addition the land use schedule identifies Church Street being extended
from St. George Street to Galbraith Court and Simpson Avenue being extended
northerly from King Street East to the Church Street extension.
5.3 The medium density policies allow for development with a net density of up to 60 units
per net residential hectare with predominant housing form to include townhouses and
low-rise apartments. The High Density designation applies to the lands generally north
of the Church street extension. This designation allows a density range of 40 to 100
units per net hectare. Predominant housing forms shall include townhouses, stacked
townhouses and apartments up to 6 storeys. Parking for all residential units shall
generally be located to the rear of the dwelling and may be accessed from a rear lane.
6.0 ZONING BY-LAW
6.1 The subject lands are currently zoned "(Holding) Urban Residential Type Three
((H)R3)". The proposed on-street and block townhouse units are permitted in the R3
zone.
7.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSION
7.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site
and a public meeting notice signs were installed on the property at the Church Street
and Galbraith Court frontages.
7.2 To date, six (6) inquiries have been received following the sign being posted and notice
mailed out. The inquiries were regarding the following:
. that the existing traffic levels on Church Street, especially at the Church and
Liberty Streets intersection, will be adversely impacted by the proposed 100
additional units;
. The increased traffic on Galbraith Court will negatively affect the existing
residents;
. The noise levels will increase from the increase of traffic on Galbraith Court;
. The intersection of Galbraith Court and King Street East appears to have a high
incidence of traffic accidents. The increase in traffic will make this intersection
more dangerous;
. There will be an over abundance of medium density housing being built in the
immediate area;
REPORT NO.: PSD.113-05
PAGE 4
. There will be an over abundance of medium density housing being built in the
immediate area;
. There were concerns with respect to possible assisted housing for the
townhouse block;
. There is no inclusion of any parkland associated with the new development; and
. Galbraith Court is not currently constructed at a wide enough width to handle the
increase in through traffic volume.
8.0 AGENCY COMMENTS
8.1 At the writing of this report, comments have been received from Central Lake Ontario
Conservation, Clarington Engineering Services, Clarington Emergency Services,
Rogers, Enbridge and the PVNC District Separate School Board.
8.2 Central Lake Ontario Conservation has several issues with the Storm Water Report and
requires a revised report. These comments have been forwarded to the applicant for
review.
8.3 Clarington Engineering Services requires that the proposed development have two
access points. At this time the applicant has only proposed an access to Galbraith
Court and is proposing turning circles at Church Street and Simpson Avenue as they do
not own the land required to complete these connections. Until such time as these

9.0 STAFF COMMENTS
9.1 The application is for an infill development of 100 townhouse units surrounded by
existing institutional uses (Bowmanville High School and Vincent Massey Public
School), existing residential uses (Kingscourt Road and Galbraith Court) and existing
REPORT NO.: PSD.113.05
PAGE 5
commercial uses on King Street East. The lands shown as "Other Land Owned By
Applicant" are part of a recent site plan approval for a significant expansion to the
Bowmanville Professional Building. The owners of the Professional Building have
entered into an agreement with respect to the acquisition of these lands for additional
required parking.
9.2 The proposal provides an alignment for part of both the Church Street extension to
Galbraith Court and the Simpson Avenue extension north of King Street East. However,
based on land ownership, the applicant is proposing one access initially, to Galbraith
Court, and two temporary turning circles at Church Street and St. George Street, and at
the southern end of Simpson Avenue, prior to reaching King Street East. As noted in
the agency comments section, the Municipality does not support the approval of this
application with only one access point.
9.3 The subject lands have historically had approval for medium density development
based on a private road network and one access to King Street East. Approvals for
townhouse development of these lands dates back to 1975. Development of these
lands was recently considered by the Municipality as part of the King Street East
Corridor Study (2003), which recommended the Church Street and Simpson Avenue
extensions and designated the lands for medium and high density development.
9.4 The proposed block townhouses, located on the northern portion of the site, will require
site plan approval prior to development. The site plan will examine in detail access to
the block, parking, building layout, building design, landscaping, private and common
amenity areas, lighting, waste disposal etc. The applicant has illustrated 61 townhouse
units at this time, but the layout of the private roads and lotting pattern on the block will
not be part of the subdivision draft approval.
9.5 The Ciarington Official Plan contains policies to guide development of medium and high
density residential areas. Issues that need to be addressed further with respect to the
policies are as follows:
. That townhouses sited on blocks shall generally not exceed 50 units. The applicant
has requested 65 block townhouse units on their application form. Through their
review of this plan of subdivision application staff will review this proposal and
determine if the 65 proposed block townhouse units meets the general intent of the
Official Plan.
. The impact of traffic on local streets is minimized. Staff is of the opinion that this
development should not go forward until such time as there is a second access to
minimize the impact of all the traffic being required to use Galbraith Court for
access.
. Amenity areas are required to be provided. There are no amenity areas indicated
on the drawings submitted. Both an indoor and an outdoor amenity area should be
provided for the 65 unit block townhouse development.
. Street townhouses shall not be sited on opposite sides of the street unless
adequate on-street parking can be provided to the satisfaction of the Municipality.
An on-street parking plan has not been submitted in support of this application.
Planning staff believe that rear alleys may assist in achieving a more desirable
environment.
REPORT NO.: PSD.113.05
PAGE 6
. The site shall be suitable in terms of size and shape to accommodate the proposed
density and building forms. The site is an irregular shape due to existing
development abutting the property. Staff has concerns that the layout of freehold
townhouse units proposed by the applicant will constrain the development of the
block townhouses.
. In addition, the relationship between the proposed residential; development and
the existing surrounding uses will be carefully reviewed with respect to traffic, noise
access and urban design issues.
10.0 CONCLUSIONS
10.1 In consideration of the issues raised and the agency comments not received at the
writing of this report, and that the purpose of this meeting is to fulfill the Planning Act
requirements for a Public Meeting, it is recommended that the application be referred
back to staff for further processing.

1.2 Location:
Lot 34, Concession 1, former Township of Darlington, 40M-2178
(Attachment 1)
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 On July 22,2005, Staff received a request from 1189286 Ontario Ltd. for the removal of
Part Lot Control with respect to Lots 58, 59, 61,63, and 73 to 81 inclusive on Plan 40M-
2178.
2.2 Draft Plan of Subdivision 18T-95023 received approval for one hundred and fourteen
(114) semi-detached dwelling units. Registration of plan of Subdivision 40M-2178,
which is Phase 1 of the Draft Approved plan, included fifteen (15) semi-detached link
lots for thirty (30) dwellings in November, 2003. The removal of Part Lot would facilitate
the construction of twenty-six (26) of those approved dwelling units. Part Lot Control
has previously been lifted for the remaining four (4) semi-detached units.
3.0 COMMENTS
3.1 Staff has no objection to the approval of a By-law exempting the subject lands from Part
Lot Control. Attached is a By-law (Attachment 2) to exempt the subject lands from
Section 50 (5) of the Planning Act.
3.2 Attachment 3 is a Summary Table provided in accordance with the Region of Durham's
requirements under the delegation of Part Lot Control. It details lots affected by the Part
Lot Control By-law and the unit type and number of the Part Lot Control By-law.
3.3 The Finance Department has indicated that the tax payments are up to date for the
subject properties.
4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 In accordance with Subsection 7.3 of Section 50 of the Planning Act, the By-law may
provide a specified timeframe during which the By-law shall be in force. As a result, it is
not necessary for Staff to prepare a second By-law to restore Part Lot Control on the
subject lands. The Planning Act leaves it to the Municipality to determine an appropriate
timeframe during which the By-law shall apply. Staff recommends that the By-law be in
force for a three (3) year period following Council approval, ending September 26, 2008.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
Pet Plan Insurance is an international pet health insurance provider. The Pet Plan Insurance
Company offers a partnership program with pet shelters. The program provides new pet
owners six weeks of free pet health insurance for select accidents and select illness. Our
Animal Services Officers would be required to provide the new pet owners with the Pet Plan
Insurance brochure and voucher, advise them of the opportunity to enrol in a pet insurance
plan, and recommend that they contact the service providers within 24 hours of adoption to
activate the free six week insurance plan voucher. If the new pet owner chooses to activate
their insurance voucher the Municipality of Clarington would receive $.50. If the new pet owner
chooses to enrol beyond the six weeks, the Municipality of Clarington receives $20.00.
Municipalities currently enrolled in the Pet Plan Insurance Shelter Partnership Program
include: Vancouver Animal Control, Mississauga Animal Services and the Delta Humane
Society. Staff contacted the Mississauga Animal Services and confirmed that they have been
enrolled in the Program for approximately three months. They report that their staff do not
"sell", but rather they simply advise the new pet owners of their opportunity for the no
obligation coverage and encourage the owner to activate their voucher. Details about
coverage are not discussed with the pet owner. To date, the Mississauga Animal Services has
received approximately $60.00 from Pet Plan Insurance.
Currently we provide new pet owners brochures for two pet insurance companies (including
Pet Plan Insurance) as part of our adoption information package. These brochures are
distributed as a courtesy to the insurance companies and certainly as a benefit to our new pet
owners to assist them in making informed decisions concerning pet health care.
It is recommended that the Municipality of Clarington enrol in the Pet Plan Insurance Shelter
Partnership Program for the following reasons: it would not impact our staff workload, there is
no cost to the Municipality, it provides an opportunity for minimal revenue, and it provides our
new pet owners with an option for six weeks of complementary insurance coverage.

REPORT NO.: Addendum to EGD.2S.CJS
PAGE 2
1.0 BACKGROUND
Report EGD-28-05 was presented to GPA on September 6, 2005 suggesting a number
of proposed amendments to the Traffic By-Iawrelated to parking. Several ofthe
locations outlined were approved and forwarded to Council however, two locations on
Nash Road (items 4 and 5 of Report EGD-28-05), were referred back to staff for further
clarification.
2,0 COMMENT
2.1 Nash Road, Townllne Road N to Centerfield Drive, Courtlce (Attachment No.1)
During 2003 the Courtice Ratepayers Association advised the Mayor's Office of a
number of intersections and areas where they felt there were safety concerns. One of
the locations was the area on Nash Rd., between Townline Rd N. and Centerfield Dr.
near S.T.worden Public School. Staff reviewed the area and implemented a number of
immediate changes to improve safety. A yellow off-set centreline was painted towards
the south side of Nash Rd., between Townline Rd. N and Centerfield Dr., during the fall
of 2003 to:
. Narrow the east bound lane to encourage slower operating speeds entering
Clarington and approaching the school zone.
. To discourage parking on the south side while encouraging parking on the north side.
. To reduce traffic congestion and confusion in front of the school in a high volume
area.
. To supplement the existing "No Stopping" signs near the S.T. Worden Public School
. To tie in with the pavement markings at the signalized intersection of Nash Rd. at
Townline Rd N.
The off-set yellow line has worked well, as it alerts motorists wishing to park on the south
side to the fact that they would be blocking traffic if they stopped. It also appears that the
off-set yellow line does encourage motorists to park in other available locations.

REPORT NO.: Addendum to EGD.28-05
PAGE 3
The purpose of report EGD-28-05 is to update the Traffic By-law to reaffirm the existing
parking plan. This plan has been in place for two years and it appears to have been
working well. Compliance with the pavement markings has been excellent but to
improve upon what is already in place we do see a potential opportunity. The section of
Nash Rd., west of Varcoe Rd may benefit from the posting of additional "No Parking"
signs to assist By-law Enforcement, if enforcement is required. It should be noted
however, that on-street parking demand is low in the area west ofVarcoe Rd., due to the
long residential driveways and availability of parking on the north side.
2.2 Nash Road, Trulls Road and Fourth Avenue, Courtlce (Attachment No.2)
Nash Road between Trulls Road and Fourth Avenue, Courtice requires additional "No
Parking" regulations on the north side to improve safety in front of the Courtice North
Public School, the new plaza and the intersection of Richfield Square where parked
vehicles could obstruct sightlines. There are already a number of "No Stopping" and "No
Parking" signs which have been posted for a number of years near the school, however
some additional signage will need to be installed near Richfield Square and the new
plaza which is presently under construction. The update to the Traffic By-law and the
posting of additional signs will improve safety.
Residents appear generally satisfied with the existing parking restrictions and are in
favour of further restrictions to improve safety fronting the school, the plaza and the
intersection at Richfield Square. Parking is available for parents on the other section of
Nash Road, while the Plaza will have its own internal parking lot.
REPORT NO.: Addendum to EGD.28.Q5
PAGE 4
3.0 CONCLUSION
The proposed amendments to the Traffic By-law 91-58 have actually been in
place for some time and appear to have been endorsed by the community as
effective. The purpose of this report is simply to formally adopt those
amendments to the Traffic By.law which have been shown over time to improve
safety in the area.
It is our recommendation that the attached By-law amendment be reviewed and
approved by Council to update the Traffic By-law 91-58.

REPORT NO.: EGD.2S.05
PAGE 3
1.0 BACKGROUND
A number of requests for parking revisions, require amendments to Traffic By-law 91-58.
Those requests from the public and staff are listed below for Councils consideration.
2.0 COMMENT
2.1 Parking
Parking regulations and the posting of prohibition signs can reduce motor vehicle
collisions by improving sight lines and traffic flow. Although general restrictions, such as
the "Three hour parking limit", can reduce many parking problems, staff often receive
requests for more permanent prohibitions and signage in higher complaint areas.
2.2 General Parking and Stopping Regulations of By-law 91.58
The Director of Engineering Services has authority under section 3 of Traffic By-law 91-
58 to authorize the placement of temporary "No Parking and No Stopping" signs to
address traffic and safety concerns as well as authorize other official signs as required to
give effect to provisions of the by-law. The general parking and stopping regulations
enables prohibition signs to be installed quickly to address localized safety concerns with
out the necessity of listing these small areas in the parking/stopping schedules. In some
cases signs are installed on a larger scale, temporary basis, and if successful, are later
listed within a by-Jaw amendment to bring the by-law schedules up to date. These
general regulations are especially important near schools where signs can be installed or
removed to reflect ever changing parking issues. There are a number of existing
"general provisions limiting the extent of prohibitions which could be modified to provide
greater flexibility and improve safety at some locations. The proposed changes include:
a) Changing wording from "adjacent" to a school, park or playground, to include, "or
within 150 m". This change is important because some school parking issues can
flow 50m to 150m beyond the boundary of the actual property.
b) Changing wording from "10m" of a crosswalk to "30m" of a crosswalk. This would
permit an extension of the no stopping area in some sensitive school crossing
REPORT NO.: EGD-28-05
PAGE 4
areas if the standard 10m distance is deemed not to be sufficient due to sight line
or other issues
c) Introducing the ability to install prohibitions near private roadways or driveways
where larger vehicles require access. Prohibition signs could be posted when the
standard regulation, such as within 1 m of a driveway does not permit space for
larger vehicles to manoeuvre due to parked vehicles beside or across from a
driveway.
d) Prohibiting where necessary parking within "30m" of two Clarington roadways
rather than "10m". Presently the 30m distance only pertains to intersections of
Clarington roadways at Regional roadways.
All of the above prohibitions, would require the posting of signs at any locations where
they would be implemented to ensure that motorists are aware of the restrictions.
2.3 Sandringham Drive, Courtice
On January 17, 2005 Alana Saunlier appeared as a delegation with a petition dated Jan
6, 2005 requesting parking exemptions and limiting parking to one side of the street.
Engineering responded with a letter dated February 4, 2005 to Alana Saunlier advising
why we could not provide her with parking exemptions and that the request for parking
prohibitions on one side of the street to improve traffic flow would be considered. Staff,
have now completed the review and support the public request to prohibit parking on one
side. The Courtice key map shows the parking plan which shifts the parking to different
sides based on parking opportunities and, sight lines. The section of Sandringham
Drive, between Glenabbey Drive and Claret Road is a high complaint area and should be
posted as "No Parking" on "both" sides rather than one, due to the curve and intersection
spacing to improve safety. If approved by Council, signs will need to be installed by the
Operations Department.
2.4 Nash Road, Townline Road N to Centerfield Drive, Courtice
Schedule II "No Parking" of By-law 91-58 should be updated to confirm the No Parking
requirement on the south side of Nash Road, between Townline Road N and Centerfield
Drive. Off-set pavement marking was applied during the fall of 2004 at the request of
residents to improve traffic flow on this busy section of Nash Road and reinforce the No
REPORT NO.: EGD-28-05
PAGE 5
Stopping/No Parking signage near St. Worden Public School. Some signs are in place
now however additional signage will need to be installed by the Operations Department.
2.5 Nash Road, Trulls Road and Fourth Avenue, Courtice
Nash Road between Trulls Road and Fourth Avenue, Courtice requires additional "No
Parking" regulations on the north side to improve safety in front of Courtice North Public
School and the intersections with Trulls Rd and Richfield Squire. Some additional
signage will need to be installed by Operations.
2.6 Fourth Avenue, Nash Road to Westmore Street, Courtice
Two residents of Fourth Avenue requested that parking be limited to one side to prevent
the problem of parents parking on both sides of the street and preventing reasonable
access to residents and emergency services. This road was reconstructed during 2004
with a new pavement width of 8M with curb and gutter. Staff agree that prohibiting
parking on the west side would improve access for residents and still provide ample
parking on the east side for short term parking. Operations would need to install signage
in this area.
2.7 Meadowglade Road, Prestonvale Road to Robert Adams Drive, Courtice
This road section is near Dr. G.J. MacGillivray P.S. where congestion occurs during
school periods. This congestion combined with intersection spacing, a school crossing
guard and fire hydrants offers very little parking on the north side. Prohibiting parking on
the north side would improve safety while leaving sufficient parking on the south side
beyond the school property. Some signage is in place near the school however
additional signage would need to be installed by Operations.
2.8 Robert Adams Drive, Meadowglade Road to Glenabbey Drive
This road section is also near Dr. G.J. MacGillivray P.S. where congestion occurs and
the school has expressed concerns about the movement of school buses, parents and
pending residential home construction activities. Prohibiting parking on the west side
between Medowglad Road and Glenabbey Drivewould improve safety while leaving
REPORT NO.: EGD-28-05
PAGE 6
sufficient parking on the east side. If approved, Operations would need to install
signage.
2.9 Robert Adams Drive, Courtice
At the request of residents, Robert Adams Drive was posted as no parking on the
east side between White Cliffe Drive and Renwick Road to improve safety on this
sharp bend. The results have been considered successful and the parking
prohibition should now be listed in the schedules to by-law 91-58.
2.10 George Reynolds Drive, Courtice
At the request of residents, George Reynolds Drive was posted as "No Parking"
on the west side between Devondale Street and Dunkin Avenue to improve
safety near the park during 2004. The results have been considered successful
and the parking prohibition should now be listed in the schedules to by-law 91-
58.
2.11 Prestonvale Road, Glenabbey Drive to Bloor St and adjacent to the South
Courtic Arena, Courtice
A concern was raised from a resident, Syd Wordon, regarding patrons from the
south Courtice Arena parking on Prestonvale Road creating safety problems on
the curve. To immediately address the concern, the Director of Engineering
Services authorized the installation of "No Parking" signs from 330m south of
Bloor St to 660m south of Bloor Street during 2005 to improve safety in this area.
The section of Prestonvale Road between Meadowglade Road and Bloor Street
was constructed at a width of 7m. Although no complaints have been received,
"No Parking" signs should be installed on both sides of the roadway prior to
additional development to ensure the safe movement of traffic. The section of
Prestonvale Road between Glenabbey Drive and Meadowglade Road was
constructed with a parking lane on a portion of the west side but parking will need
to be prohibited from the east side before additional development occurs.
Operations would need to install signage in these areas.
REPORT NO.: EGD-28'()5
PAGE 7
2.12 W..t SId. Drive. Ba.ellne Road to Bottrell Street. Bowmanvllfe
This area Includes Dr. Ross Tilley Public School. Prohibiting parking on the west side
would leave ample parking on the east side which Is green space south of the school.
Although some slgnage is in piace near the school. additional slgnage would need to be
Installed by Operations.
2.13 St. George Street, Queen Street to Church Street, Bowmanvll/e
A number of complaints were received from Mr. Rowden and his nelghbours in this area
regarding vehicles parking on both sides of the roadway Impeding vehicular traffic and
blocklng larger vehicles. Due to the urgency of this request signs were Installed at the
direction of the Director of Engineering Services to permit the safe movement of traffic
during 2005. The traffic by-iaw should now be amended to prohibit parking from both
sides of St. George Street from Queen Street to Church Street to update the schedules.
3.0 CONCLUSION
The attached by-law amendment should be reviewed and approved by Council to
address a number of parking concems within the municipality.

John Mutton, Mayor
Patti L. Barrie, Municipal Clerk
3200 Hancock Rd.
Courtice, ON LIE 2M 1
September 6, 2005
To Mayor and Clarington Council
Request to Enact Site Alteration By-Law and the Improvement to Burning By-Law.
I was unsuccessful in my request of Top Soil Protection By-Law during the OP review in
1994, 5 and 6.
During the same request to Council in 2000, Mayor Mutton advised me that our Planning
Department was working on similar by-law, Site Alteration By-Law. Upon its
completion, it was presented to the Agriculture Advisory Committee and it died there. It
wasn't well understood by our fanners at that time. This by-law could protect them, not
hurt or restrict them.
In 2000 I had supplied our Planning Department with various Management Practices and
By-Laws that were successfully used in other municipalities. Even our Regional Health
Department was recommending to our Municipality that it would be wise to have such a
by-law. I haven't heard anything since then from Planning Department regarding this by-
law.
We all need clean air, good water quality and plenty of it and clean soil to survive
physically and economically. This summer, we have experienced water shortages,
drought and smog. What are we doing about it?
Climate change is a real thing; we have to relate our activities to poor conditions we have
experienced during this summer.
We could all help by restricting our undesirable activities such as affecting the drainage
of residents living at the same road or community, stripping off our only supplier of
oxygen and cooling -forested areas -, or filling in wetlands that can improve our common
water supply.
Changing natural drainage into man-made ditches of standing water can threaten not only
the health of surrounding community, but also the health of the landowner himself. These
are the habitats attracting mosquitoes spreading the West Nile virus.
Barrel or any other burning is threatening large area with even poorer air conditions.
People should be responsible for their own actions and should be more conscious of how
their activity causes other people to suffer, not to mention their own or their family's well
being.
Our Municipality could not do a thing to protect its citizens against irresponsibility of
some landowners and their actions because we don't have Site Alteration By-Law or
stricter Burning By-Law to protect the health of all residents.
I was told by our Works Department, Engineering section that the drainage of a site is a
private matter. In reality, is it really? I was also told by our Fire Department that the
farmer is allowed to barrel-bum. When urban citizens see the fanner doing this, they do
not understand this exception and they too continue to bum. Burning went on almost
daily this summer. Could the farmers be given an opportunity to call Regional Works to
pick up what they have to dispose of, free of charge, instead of getting rid of unwanted
stuff by open-air burning? They could serve as an example to the community.
These activities are affecting us in winter and summer; there is no difference.
Adopting Site Alteration By-Law and improvement to the Burning By-Law should not be
viewed as a restriction or burden to the individual, but as an improvement of living
conditions for the whole community. Polluted air, water or soil doesn't stay in one
location, it impacts everyone.
Private business, including agriculture, aggregate and Works Departments should be
treated the same way. Their activities affect not only themselves, but the rest of us too.
Activities such as filling, grading, excavation, removal of forested areas and topsoil,
placing or dumping of fill or paper sludge, drainage works and burning should be
regulated to help ease climate change effects.
These activities alter ecosystem processes and lead to contamination or pollution of land,
water and air.
Top Soil By-Law could give our Municipality a better enforcement capability and more
timely control over matters involving construction, development practices; it could help
to regulate stockpiling and rehabilitation of the land. The adoption of this by-law is often
recommended when there is a history of land clearing (like in Courtice North) without
adequate sediment control measures. The by-law approach is often considered preferable
to reliance on sedimentation and erosion control plans because it applies to all lands and
therefore can address the problem of site clearing prior to development application being
made.
Therefore, I am respectfully requesting this Council to enact Top Soil or at least Site
Alteration By-Law and to improve the existing Burning By-Law to protect our health.

Presentation to General Purpose and Administration Committee
Tuesday September 6, 2005-09-02
RE: COPA 2005-003 and ZBA 2005-027:
Clarington Compost Facility
Presentation By
Catherine Dowling, Gartner Lee Limited,
On Behalf of Miller Paving Limited
Miller Paving has reviewed Report PSD-099-05 submitted by Planning Services and would like
to thank Heather Brooks for providing a balanced summary of the proposal and the remaining
issues for consideration.
Through this presentation Miller Paving is pleased to have an opportunity to reemphasize the
key features of the proposed Compost Facility. Miller staff and their consultants are also in
attendance to answer any questions the Committee may have at this time.
The general Site Characteristics as described in the staff report are correct and reflect the
detailed planning that has gone into this proposal.
This proposal will provide needed waste diversion infrastructure capacity, consistent with
Provincial, Regional and local objectives.
The site design and planned operations incorporates several features to ensure protection the
natural environment and minimize potential impact on neighbouring properties and uses,
including:
· The 7.5 ha woodlot at the north end has been completely preserved with a
fenced buffer area of 5m to ensure no disruption.
· Protection of a very large Sugar Maple adjacent to the east property
boundary.
(0 l-prts 23022-I-mis(; 1]1)('6!]:')

· The stormwater control system has the design capacity to contain surface
runoff from the compost area to the 100-yr storm, protecting Tooley Creek.
· No impact to groundwater is predicted, given existing soil and groundwater
flow conditions and the planned paving of the compost area. However, a
groundwater monitoring program would be in place to detect any change at
the property boundary.
· Sound operational practices and the reasonable separation distance from
adjacent uses will minimize odour impacts.
· Miller has extensive experience with material composting and a solid
record of good performance at all of its facilities, including its
Richmond Hill facility that has operated for over 15 years.
Outstanding I
As the Planning Services report notes, there are a number of issues that will require further
discussion as this proposal is considered. I would like to briefly address some of the issues this
evening.
Property Integration
Miller Paving owns two land parcels totalling 31 ha. This OPAlrezoning only concerns the north
property where the compost facility will be located. Development of the two sites are related
however as,
a) stormwater management planning has considered the needs of both
properties and;
b) access to the north property is proposed through the south property.
Eventually when both sites are developed there will be seamless integration of the properties.
Initially the compost facility can proceed independently.
Supporting Documentation
Miller Paving provided Clarington with all the noted background and impact studies on
August 25. All of the studies conclude that the facility would have minimal impacts on the
environment and neighbours, with the recommended measures in place. All of the
recommendations have been accepted by Miller and incorporated into the proposal.
([) I -prcs2J 922- f-misc 00l'bl~'5 )

In addition the Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment is now complete and provided to
Clarington today. This report demonstrates that there are no existing environmental issues with
the site.
Official Plan Policies
As a point of clarification, it is our understanding that the "Environmental Protection" designation
applicable to these lands does not identify significant woodlands as indicated in the staff report.
Based on the Environmental Impact Statement work and recommendation however, Miller
provides complete protection for the on site woodlot.
Public Comments
Miller has received copies of correspondence submitted by two parties with an interest in a
single property located in the industrial area south of Baseline Road. Miller met with Fred
Biesenthal and spoke on the phone with Ibi Igracki to discuss the issues. Furthermore, Miller
has placed a copy of all the applications and background technical reports on file at the
Pickering Waste Management site office for interested parties to review and discuss with Miller
staff.
Clarington Engineering Services Comments
Hancock Road ReQuirements
Engineering Services indicates that a section of Hancock Rd from Baseline Road to north of the
urban boundary is required, with a dead-end turn around circle. Miller disagrees with this
recommendation and looks forward to further dialogue on this issue. There are several reasons
why this approach is not appropriate for this site development:
· In our view construction of the proposed section of Hancock Road only to the
site entrance with a setback entry gate would be a safer and more
appropriate alternative. The setback would allow for 3 point turn for vehicles if
required.
. The recommended longer stretch of road serves no purpose and could
indicate a destination beyond the site entrance; this would be a source of
confusion for drivers approaching the compost facility.
. The recommended longer stretch of upgraded road, beyond the facility
entrance, would be isolated from any industrial activity and create an
opportunity for dumping of waste and use of the turn around area for illegal or
(0 l-prcs'2J92:- f-mise 09(,6051
Page 3
inappropriate activity. Miller already spends considerable effort removing
illegally dumped waste.
· In the longer term, industrial development on the south portion of the Miller
property would create a business environment and reduce the isolation of this
road section.
· Development south of the site, or possibly to the east would support further
construction of Hancock Road, it is not economically justified at this time.
Grade Seoaration
Design and construction of a future grade separation on Baseline Road is a broad road
improvement beyond the control and requirements of this project. It is an issue that needs to be
discussed with the MTO in connection with the plans for the 407 link. The traffic analysis
confirms that the proposed realignment of Hancock Road is an appropriate solution for this
development.
This improvement does not preclude further work on Baseline Road in the future but would
accommodate the immediate needs for this project.
Parkland Dedication
In addressing the recognized requirement for parkland dedication and/or cash -in-lieu payment,
consideration should be given to the retention of valleylands and the onsite woodlot.
Staff Comments
The summary description accurately reflects the proposed development.
A point of clarification is required regarding the use of compost that does not meet Category A
use criteria. Miller's experience with composting 100s of thousands of tonnes of similar material
in Ontario has never resulted in compost product that was less than Grade A quality. In the
event that this does occur in Clarington, the material need not be retained on site or disposed
of. This material is still valuable and can be used for approved and appropriate applications.
We acknowledge and agree with the staff comment that no "Prestige Employment" lands are in
proximity to the site. No significant impact on businesses, business operations or employees is
anticipated based on the technical impact studies for noise, air quality and groundwater.
Clarington's economic development objectives associated with potential future development of
the 407 link in proximity to the site are not at risk as a result of this proposal. Miller is a
progressive company that will respond to land development and market opportunities should
(IJI-prcs 2Y)2~-f-mi5C 0(1),-,(i:')
Page :./.
they occur in the future. If this area evolves beyond predominantly agricultural use, Miller would
take advantage of the higher and better use opportunities that may be available. The compost
facility would not preclude any future uses of these lands in the longer term, including urban
expansion scenarios, possibly 15-20 years from now.
BalancinQ Need with Other Considerations
Organic material diversion is a service that residents and businesses want and expect in their
community. The quality products are of value and in demand.
Miller agrees that the need for a new composting facility must be balanced with consideration of
facility operating costs, requirements for an ecologically sound site and compatibility with
surrounding land uses. The proposed development site has a number of advantages:
· Proximity to the urban generators of organic material help to keep operating
costs down, by minimizing transportation distances.
· The operation will complement the Pickering Organics processing facility by
providing an appropriate site for final curing and blending.
· Separation from adjacent residential or industrial uses is achieved by this site
location, the natural valleyland and retention of the woodlot area.
· Design and operational features of the proposal will protect the natural
environment.
· Miller has a solid reputation built through experience. With over 15 yrs of
experience at the Bloomington Road site and ongoing operation of the Nova
Scotia facility, there is a solid record of good management practice to draw
on to address any operational issues that may emerge.
· Technical impact analysis demonstrates that there will be minimal impact on
surrounding land uses.
Miller has applied for appropriate OPAs and land use rezoning, recognizing that this facility
represents a change from traditional agricultural use in the area. Miller has also applied for the
appropriate Certificate of Approval and will comply with any conditions that approval involves.
While some have argued that composting is an agricultural use and therefore not subject to the
review process and controls that are applicable through municipal and environmental planning
processes, Miller has taken the opposite position. Miller is requesting that this facility be
recognized as a reasonable use for these lands within an agricultural designation. All applicable
environmental protection measures will be applied and the site will operate within the terms of
an Environmental Protection Act certificate of approval.
