CHAIR
At the October meeting, J wanted you to hcitr our position from Mr. Marvin Geist a
lawyer who restricts hi.s practice to dealing with conservation issues before Authorities
like the Ganaraska and when necessary before the Lands and Mines Commissioner.
Agenda Item 5
Presentation
. The lands we are preparing for future development comprise some 22 acres outside the
Regulatol)' Flood 'Plain. Roughly 700,000 square feet of property to be filled and graded
and we are about 70 percent complete. The property has some 1600 feet oflevel exposure
along highway 401. at the 45f401 interchange. Traffic along the 401 is about 45-50,000
vehicles per day and along County Rd 45, about 18,000 vebicles per day.
The property was described as Hamlet in 2000 and is now Employment Potential and
Settlement in the new official plan.
We have received Fill Pemits from May 1994 to December 1999. The current
application is identical to the ones already granted with no change to the accepted plan.
Each year we get our share of available material and we must have peimits iIi place when
contractors are planning their locations for dumping excess fill The quantity offill
available is subject to the amount of Municipal and Provincial works contracts.
Within the envelope to be filled there is no wetland, no natural watercourse, no potential
for flooding or erosion. There are no Conservation issues 'as stated in the Conservation
Act Section 28 (1) which states " An Authority may make regulations applicable to the
area under its jurisdiction 0 prohibiting, regulating or requiring the permisSion of the
authority for development, jf in tbe opinion of the Authority, the control of flooding,
erosion, dynamic beaches or pollution or the conservation ofland may be affected by the
development. Note in the report before you there are no such issues.
He provided our position as to the completeness of our application of May 11,2000 which
is before you tonight. Under Regulation 148-6-2 we have provided the Site Grading plan.
accepted and used for the previous permits in 1998 and 1999 as well as for another
applicant in 2004. All other requirements have been met as in previous permit apProvals.
He made a clear presentation of our position using The Law, Standards used in our
applications versus applications by others, and the Requirements for a completed
application for us now, versus other completed applications from past files. .
He advised the Board of his intentions on our behalfbut made one suggestion and that
was that "cooler heads should prevail" to avoid huge costs to your taxpayers.
Staff advised the board at the June 15, 2000 meeting to find the application incomplete.
Concerns were expressed by several board members as recorded in the minutes of
this meeting that
1- Mr. Tredrees application was being treated in the same manner as other
applications received by the Authority
......................... "1 'af
r~un I~C~~CC ~ rnUIV ..

@
2- The requirements had been satisfied as best they could. Bearing in mind this land
was being prepared for future use.
.. Based only on staff assurances, this resolution was passed before being advised by
your lawyer G. W. Coros who wrote a letter on July 4, 2000 explaining the
requirements of a complete application with reference to:
1. A first time application Which this is not
2- An application previously approved wbich creates a precedent Which this is.
Mr. Coros says, "Ontario regulation 148 is explicit in its requirements and we submit that
the Authority must abide fully and precisely with its said regulation. There can be no
exccptionsbecause:
(a) Regulations when made must be followed closely
(b) If an Authority does not comply with its regulation. it creates a precedent and
once that precedent is set, even for only one application, the precedent then
applies to all future applications- there can be no exceptions, The mining.
commissioners over the years in Appeals have repeatedly stated that if a precedent
bas been set, then how can such a precedent not apply to all future applications. >>
You have been advised by Mr. Marvin Geist, our lawyer and Mr. Leonardo Sanchez, our
engineer, our application is Complete and to perfection. Mr Geist attended at the October
meeting and told you in person we had submitted a completed application.
Mr. COTOS, goes on to write in his next paragraph, "your Water Management Policies,
revised September 1995. on page 1, paragraph A (3).states tbe Authority is to apply
its policies in a fair and equitable manner"..Based on this requirement, consider the
folJowing:
Upon our lawyer's advice, Vie applied for a second fill permit on JanU8l)' 2. 2003,
paid the required fees and presented the required documentation for a completed
application. This permit was Dot dealt with and bas still not been processed.
On March22, 2004 a p&mlit#69A..wasjssuedto.anapplicantH.CLJ~ngin~riJl-1U!sIDg _
our exact site-grading plan submitted with our Jan 2003 application. as faxed to them
by the GRCA. The filling was in the exact place we proposed in our application. Yet
we were denied a permit on our own land Staff has applied different standards to
each application. .
Mr. Geist advised you during his presentation and then again in his letter of October
22.2004, with this proof; we are being treated differently to others, even on our own
property. There is a bias and staff is acting unreasonable.
Tens of thousands of dollars have been spent by the GRCA, and my company this last
two years.
t'.u.s
. ~.I.,.~. .. __.._..~_...:~ .'
(J)
A long time trusted legal adyisor for the authority has been replaced. Two complete
precious court da)'S have been set aside and wasted. And what has been proven?
The Board has been provided with a staff report dated December 1, 2004, which states
theapplicaut proposes to continue fill operations as per permit 148190-438-07199. The
application before you used the same site-grading plan as was used for this permit in
1999 as well as for permit 694 of March 2004. The application with attached
documentation satisfies all of the requirements ofa fill permit, just like the previous one.

AUTHORITY ANNUAL MEETING. MlNUTFS. JANUARY 18, 2005. PAGE 2
CHAIR'S REMARKS -J. Schell
J. Neal and J. Gray arrived at 5:02 p.m.
"On September 23, 2004 the Authority opened the new addition of the Administration Office along with the
renovation of the old office space. The new office layout gives staff more roOm to perform their duties and to serve
the watershed residents.
Land acquisition was a major focus with 565 acres of environmentally sensitive land being brought under the care of
the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority. The Authority currently has over 4,000 acres of land under its
protection. I would also like to thank the many external organizations that assisted the Authority in the purchase of
these lands and other stewardship projects: Region of Durham, Ministry of Natural Resources, Ministry of the
Environment, Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, the Town of Whitby, and Environment Canada.
Over the past year I have had an opportunity to visit many of the conservation areas and I am very impressed with
the various trails and facilities that are open for the public to enjoy. The more than 30km of trails in the conservation
areas are a wonderful resource for watershed residents and the rerouting of the Oak Ridges Trail through Long Sault
Conservation Area is a great addition. The annual Maple Syrup Festival at Purple Woods CA, organized by
Authority staff, provides a great opportunity for the public to visit their local conservation area.
The launch of the Authority's Clean Water Stewardship Program in January 2004 was a great success. Over 16,000
tree seedJings were sold to 36 local land owners, Zwell upgrades were completed, 3 cattle crossings installed, I solar
livestock watering system installed, I solar powered livestock fencing system installed and I fann land conservation
project is underway with I in development.
Providing environmental education opportunities for today's youth is a priority of Central Lake Ontario
Conservation. The 7th annual Durham Children's Groundwater Festival was once again a great success with more
than 4,600 grade four students attending and learning how their actions affect the watershed in which they live.
During the festival over 300 secondary students volunteer and are trained as activity center hosts creating a double
learning opportunity. I would also like to say thank you to all of the sponsors and to the organizing committee that
makes this event possible each year.
On a sad note, the Conservation Authority lost a staff member to cancer. Mr. Don Wright was with the Authority
since 1986 and passed away in the fall of this year. Don's dedication and his love for the preservation of the
environment will be missed.
In closing I would like to thank the Board of Directors and Authority Staff for their suppon over the past year. I see
2005 to be full of challenges as conservation authorities across Ontario take the lead on water source protection.
Central Lake Ontario Conservation will work with the municipalities on the Provincial Green Belt Strategy and
continue to partner with Durham Region on the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan,"

Having examined all of the options both Planning staff and the District Steering
Committee were of the opinion that the Planning Act requirements for certain options
would be more onerous upon property owners than designation under the Ontario
Heritage Act. An executive summary in the form of a newsletter of the various options
will be mailed to all home owners in the proposed district. The detailed explanation of
each will also be included. Planning staff will prepare the information and it will be
reviewed by the District Steering Committee before it is distributed.

SUB-COMMITTEE REPORTS
Bowmanville Community Improvement Plan
Isabel Little gave a brief clarification report stating that the Bowmanville CIP project
boundary has not been extended. It has always included the area from Scugog Street
to Mearns Avenue. While most of the 2004 summer streetscape work was done in the
downtown, and will have minor deficiencies corrected in the spring of 2005, there are
other works that have happened in other areas of the CIP, such as the trails in the
valleys and policy work on the King Street East corridor.

Thank you Mayor Mutton. It's my privilege once again to bring an annual report on
Regional activities to Clarington Council. As usual, I will highlight some events of the
past year and look ahead to challenges of 2005.
Looking back at 2004, I would give it mixed reviews. Some progress was made on a
New Deal for municipalities including the GST exemption and the first allocations of the
Provincial gas tax, but much more needs to be done.
The signing of the protocol between AMO and the Province to ensure that municipalities
are consulted and at the table on decisions that affect us was another encouraging step.
But be careful what you wish for. Never has the Province consulted so many people, so
often, on so many topics with so little time to respond.
Discussion papers, draft legislation and invitations to comment arrived on the municipal
doorstep at a furious pace. Topics ranged from accessibility issues to water protection,
from the Greenbelt to "Places to Grow", along with infrastructure funding, planning
reform and long term care legislation. Regional staff, Committees and Council
generated practical advice on each of these issues. Now we wait to see if the Province
listened.
Another consultation that I know both Clarington and the Region have actively
responded to is the Nuclear Waste Management Organization's process to determine
the future of used nuclear fuel now stored in our community. Regional Council had a
report on this last week and it's certainly something we'll be tracking closely.
With respect to Regional projects, 2004 was an extremely busy year. Official Plan
amendments to bring us into compliance with the Oak Ridges Moraine Act were
completed and finally approved by the Minister. Despite the uncertainties around
Provincial planning policy, we pressed ahead with the Regional Official Plan Review,
consulting the public and the area municipalities on several discussion papers. Shortly,
draft amendments to the rural, environmental and commercial components of the ROP
will launch the statutory Planning Act review process and related public consultation.
Council advanced a "made in Durham" solution for waste management with some key
decisions. New materials were added to the list of blue box recyclables. A Durham-only
contract for kitchen waste composting was signed, with a new indoor com posting facility
in Pickering to be completed by July 2006. This new facility will permit us to expand the
green bin program, which Clarington residents already use, to our urban municipalities.
The Region also launched the Environmental Assessment process required for creation
of a facility to deal with the waste left after diversion.
In November, the propane explosion in Bowmanville launched a tremendous joint
response from the Clarington Fire Department, the Regional Police, the Durham
Emergency Measures Office, and other partners. Fortunately no lives were lost and we
can be proud of the speed, coordination and cooperation demonstrated at a time of

CriSIS. From every incident like this, we take lessons to help us do an even better job
the next time.
2004 was capped off with the Attorney General's announcement at our December
Regional Council meeting that the new Durham Courthouse will be built by the winter of
2008/2009.
One of the highest profile and most intense projects of 2004 was development of a
detailed business case for Regional Transit. The business case told us the same thing
that citizens have been telling uS...a regional transit system is needed and is the best
delivery option for region-wide transit service.
I'm sure you have heard by now that reports of the death of Regional transit were
premature. Both Brock Township Council and Oshawa City Council reconsidered the
transit bylaw and passed it at recent meetings. Thus the bylaw has now received the
required triple majority. I'd like to thank Mayor Mutton and Clarington Council for your
initiative in kick-starting the move to regional transit with your motion last year at this
time.
This is an important step forward for our community. We know that federal and
provincial infrastructure funding will be tied to environmental sustainability. Transit is a
key component of that. York Region, Waterloo Region, and Ottawa have all attracted
significant federal and provincial transit funding for innovative regional scale projects.
By moving transit to the regional level, I believe Durham has greatly increased our
opportunities to acquire similar significant funding.
2005 will be a year of intensive preparation and sorting out details. Creating a service
plan with which to move into the future will be a key task. I think we have an excellent
case for pursuing federal and provincial funding to assist us in this transition period.
Speaking of transportation, several Regional road projects benefited Clarington in 2004.
Rehabilitation of Regional Road 20 at Mosport Road was a $627,000 project. The
realignment and signalization improvements at Bloor Street and Townline Road were a
$560,000 investment. New signals were also installed at Bloor St. and Prestonvale
Road and at King St. and Roenigk Drive.
In 2005, the Region plans to begin over $1 million worth of road reconstruction in
Clarington, mainly focused on reconstruction of the Waverly Road/Baseline Road
intersection. Rehabilitation of the CPR overpass on Courtice Road is a $1.4 million
project scheduled for 2005.
Stringent provincial legislation and standards for treatment of septage, wastewater, and
biosolids, require the Region to update and add infrastructure to deal with these waste
products. In 2005, construction of our largest regional capital project ever at $160
million, the Courtice Water Pollution Control Plant, will begin in earnest. Significant

investment will also be required at the Duffins Creek plant to increase our biosolids
incineration capacity over the next several years.
Whether its capital funding, or our operating budget, the growing gap between regional
responsibilities and revenue capacity is unsustainable.
Like many other GTA municipalities, Durham is trying to deal with cost increases for
programs like public health, Ontario Works, long term care and ambulance service, over
which we have limited or no control. Social services pooling costs are dictated by the
Province with no explanation. Development charges aren't pulling their weight with
respect to many services. Things have to change - we need the new deal now.
But, more than a month into 2005, progress on the New Deal is proceeding at a snail's
pace. While the announcement of the federal gas tax distribution is expected in next
week's federal budget, negotiations on distribution of those funds within Ontario are only
beginning. We also await provincial decisions on Seaton, the Greenbelt and the Golden
Horseshoe Growth Plan due this spring. All of these initiatives will affect Durham's
ability to budget, plan for and accommodate the growth anticipated in the next few
decades.
One Provincial project that is finally moving ahead is the Environmental Assessment for
the 407 Extension. In late January, the Minister of the Environment approved the
Terms of Reference for the EA and the process is already underway.
Thankfully, projects that are fully in Regional control tend to come to conclusion on a
much more predictable schedule. In 2005, Durham will be a "Region on the Move".
Construction of the new facilities for Regional Headquarters in Whitby, Hillsdale Estates
in Oshawa, and Lakeview Manor in Beaverton is progressing well.
This summer, 1200 regional administrative staff from 10 current locations will relocate to
the new headquarters. As you know the Provincial Courts will be remaining at the old
Headquarters till 2009. To accommodate parking for the new Regional facility, it
became necessary to build a parking garage on site.
Construction has begun and will be completed by September.
Later in the Fall of 2005, 284 long term care residents and approximately 190 staff will
move to our two new homes for the aged. That's a lot of packing and unpacking.
I should mention that despite all the construction activity and operational pressures'
faced by our homes for the aged, they continue to provide excellent care for the
residents. Our Homes recently passed the unannounced Ministry of Health and Long
Term compliance reviews with superb results. Fairview Lodge in Whitby is the first of
our homes to apply for and be recognized with national accreditation by the Canadian
Council on Health Services.

Several interesting and exciting events are coming up soon. On February 17th, the
Region will be co-hosting an energy savings forum for industry with the Durham
Manufacturers Association and UOIT at the Campus.
This event is a great fit with the Region's focus on the energy sector, both on the
generation and demand sides of the equation. The collaboration with Clarington and
UOIT in launching the Courtice Energy Park is another key component of that energy
sector focus.
On April 14th, Durham will host the 2005 Global Traders Awards at the Deer Creek Golf
and Country Club in Ajax. This event attracts businesses from across the GTA and
showcases local companies who are making their mark on international scene.
The Region is helping to sponsor a rural tourism conference, called "Beyond the City
Lights" coming up on April 19th at the Scugog Community Centre. This kind of event is
one example of the rural development strategy that Regional staff has been working on
with local partners.
Like my past annual reports, this update has focused on the issues and events that
captured our attention in the past year. Seldom, do we have a chance to highlight the
routine business of the Region. There's not enough time to discuss the operating details
of 6900 units of social housing, or the 190,000 police calls or the 66,000 ambulance
responses. The person-by-person triumphs of our child care, family services, social
assistance and health support programs remain unsung. Diligent work by staff in
Emergency Measures, our water plants, the Regional Clerk's Office, or the Finance
Department is largely invisible to the public. But all of that day-to-day effort is what
keeps our community operating in a safe, caring and effective manner and it all
deserves recognition.
2005 will be a year full of change and challenge. With a little faith in ourselves, a
shared vision and some overdue support from senior governments, we can create,
recognize, and seize new opportunities for our Region. Thank you.
