Should the Province continue with the Sub-area Growth Strategy approach, it is essential that the Sub-area Growth Strategies add value to the current planning system and be prepared in partnership with the affected municipalities; xvi) The Province must declare its intent regarding transition issues, in order that we may assess the impact on applications, as well as the on-going lands needs assessment component of the Regional Official Plan Review; xvii) The Province must direct its energies to develop the necessary fiscal tools to support the goals and objectives of the Growth Plan, including: committing a sustainable source of funding for transit; amending the Development Charges Act to allow municipalities to finance the full costs of services; and amending the Environmental Assessment Act to streamline the process of approval for infrastructure that supports the Growth Plan objectives.

Susan Ashtoiffrom the Planning Services Departmentspoke committee regarding wind turbines in Clarington. The current Zoning By-law for Clarington allows for wind turbines, provided that they meet all the setback requirements within the zone. Each setback is measured from the furthest extension of the structure. As well, they are not currently subject to any height restrictions, There are some issues that we may look at in the new zoning bylaw which is why we have been doing research on what other municipalities are doing.

In this case, the resident wishes to set up a portion of the property as a tour centre and sales office to teach people about wind power.

Fred Horvath, Director of Operations for Clarington to discuss various issues of concern to Committee. Gord Weir, Director, Fire and Emergency Services. Other Business A trucker carrying an over width load requires a $350 permit from the province to use provincial roads. The Region charges a fee of $350 per year for the use of regional roads. Clarington does not require a permit. Every municipality is different and it is hard to know what is required for any given area. A request was made that Committee formulate a resolution to all municipalities in Ontario requesting that they co-ordinate the permit process for wide-load truckers. Faye requests more info be brought to the next meeting to ensure any resolution is accurate and relevant. Councillor Robinson would like a resolution brought forward requesting funding for the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority. Faye to contact Mark Peacock to obtain background information so that the appropriate wording for a Resolution can be drafted. 05-11 Moved by Eric Bowman, Seconded by Councillor Robinson 'That the meeting be adjourned."
