Valentine Lovekin appeared before Council on behalf of the Newcastle BIA regarding
the proposed Newcastle Library. Mr. Lovekin noted that although he recognizes the
vision that Council has and that he supports the concept of the library, he has the
following issues:
1. Council should look at the sites proposed in the context of the economic
development of Clarington. He has concerns with the impact on the downtown
core;
2. Proposed site has great expansion possibility. This may not be an appropriate
concern. Newcastle will grow but the library does not have to grow at the same
pace;

1-14 The Honourable David Ramsay, Minister of Natural Resources, thanking
Council for their letter regarding the possibility of reduced day-use entry to
Darlington Provincial Park to accommodate Clarington residents who wish
to access the Lake Ontario waterfront though the existing park. The park
is popular for wildlife viewing, picnicking, hiking, cycling and fishing. As
well, it provides a wide variety of camping and day-use services and
facilities, including a popular beach, picnic areas, trails and a children's
playground among others. These facilities are provide and maintained by
the province with no cost to the municipality. He believes that the $10
day-use fee now being charged at Darlington Provincial Park is fair value.
The day ~s permit allows for the entry of a single vehicle regardless of the
number of occupants. This provides access to all of the day-use facilities
and programs at a very reasonable and low price. He believes that this is
a fair anp equitable arrangement for all Ontarians regardless of their place
of residence, and does not support a lower day-use fee for residents in
those municipalities that are nearest to the provincial park.

Glenda Gies, President, Port Darlington Community Association Inc.,
advising Council that the Association has the following comments
regarding the Addendum to Report EGD-50-04, Port Darlington Waterfront
Park Master Plan Revision:
1. accommodating the Port Darlington Harbour Company and
Wiggers Custom Yachts lands by shifting the park eastwards will
result in a mixed use, with park activities occurring directly adjacent
to industrial activities.
2. relocating the parking area from adjacent to the remaining
residential area to the existing municipal lands on the west side of
Port Darlington Road will minimize traffic in the area and reduce
impacts on residents.
There are a number of outstanding areas of concern with the conceptual
master plan for the park related to:
. the implications for the Bowmanville Marsh, including nature trails,
interpretive signage and opportunities to launch non-motorized
boats and canoes;
. the use of proposed volleyball courts for programmed tournaments
which could draw significant people to the area, bringing traffic and
the requirement for parking beyond what the local road or available
public land could accommodate;
. washrooms on the west beach side of the park where municipal
water and sanitary sewers are not available; and
. the method of transporting visitors from the east park across the
mouth of the Bowmanville Marsh to the west park.

Deputation on Fenelon Falls Baseball Diamond Expansion
Richard Edwards, Carl Quaranto and Joanne Harvey came before the Board of Directors requesting
consideration for the placement of fill within the floodplain behind the baseball diamond in Fenelon Falls.
The purpose of this is to expand the outfield area making the diamond more functionally useable. It was
noted that the City of Kawartha Lakes (Craig Shanks) had inquired of this in 2002/2003 and most recently
the Mayor's office had made inquiry. The issue is that placing fill within a floodplain contravenes Provincial
Policy and in this case may aggravate known downstream flooding. Consideration needs to be given to
compensating the placed fill by removing material at some other location. To date, no formal application has
been made to the conservation authority.
Through discussion it was suggested that the baseball diamond might be re-graded to compensate for placed
fill.
An application form was given to Mr. Quaranto.

c) Highway 407 Update-(Leslie Benson)
The Clarington 407 Community Advisory Committee (CAe) met
September 6th, 2005. The Environmental Assessment (EA) is now
- 3 -
''::;
underway and the first public information meeting should be in the New
Year. The Ministry of the Environment has approved the EA Terms of
Reference. The concept design will be finished as part of the
Environmental Assessment report.
Leslie Benson will check to see ifthe 407 East website could be added as
a link to the new CTMAC web site currently being designed.
3.0 AGENDA ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
a) 40 KM/HR Speed Zones
Engineering Services will prepare an information report to Council to
advise them of items related to posting regulatory speed limits.
Rural Posted Speed
Due to changes to the Highway Traffic Act (HTA) and its interpretation
many Municipalities, including Clarington, are now required to by-law
and post rural roadways. Previously 80 km/hr was considered standard for
rural areas and did not require the posting of signs. Now that signs must
be posted it would be prudent to review the rural roads by-law and post
acceptable speed limits of80 km/hr or less. A report and proposed by-law
for regulatory posted speed limits on various rural roads should be
prepared by the spring.
Because signs are now mandatory this will be included as a budget
item for Operations.
40 km/hr Speed Postings
Although staff, are not recommending 40 km/hr speed postings,
information will be provided to Council which is based on
a Toronto Policy.
b) All-way Stop Draft Warrants
The draft warrant presented at a previous meeting has been modified and
tested at a number of intersections to determine its applicability for the
various types of road classes.
Baseline Rd. at Holt- Arterial roadway
Edward St. at Glass Court- Urban Collector roadway
Beaver St. at Robert St- Urban local roadway
Old Scugog Rd at Cone. Rd 6- Rural roadway
Although none of the above locations presently meet the strict MTO
guidelines or the less restrictive draft warrants, the draft warrants do
-4-
S0ptcmbcrl), 20U)
provide a better representation of conditions and should result in
additional locations for all-way stops being supported by staff. These
draft warrants will continue to be applied while evaluating a number of
additional locations during October and November with the CTMAC
being advised of the results.
c) Wilkins Crescent Speed Bump Request
A draft copy of a letter was prepared by Ron Baker in reply to the Wilkins
Crescent request and the committee reviewed the contents and found it
satisfactory. The resident has been contacted by phone. It was
suggested that members visit this location and bring back their findings to
the next scheduled meeting.
d) CTMAC Draft Web Page
The web site information is still under review and committee members
were asked to consider the draft and bring their comments to the next
meeting. A launch date for the new site has not been set.
4.0 NEW BUSINESS AT DIRECTION OF CHAIR
a) Items of Interest to the Committee
Speeds on King Street (al, Ontario
There has been a complaint about the speed of vehicles in this area.
Ron Baker will check out the area to see if speed is an issue. He will also
check to see if volume may be a concern.
Advisory Signs
These black and yellow signs are designed as an advisory measure only
and are a recommended speed for motorists. To warrant one of theses
signs, a hazardous condition should be present.
Letter to the Editor
There was an article in the summer placed in the Canadian Statesman in
the Letter to the Editor section which dealt with Robert Adams Drive in
Courtice. The recording secretary will search for this article and bring it
to the next meeting.
.

Areas with Speeding Issues
Currently the committee advises the police to further investigate speeding
concerns that they have encountered. The Traffic Watch policeman will
also visit the location of areas that have received complaints. If speed
appears to be an issue, the Traffic Watch Program Technician is sent to the
location with the radar message board to collect speed data, record license
pJ/tte numbers and visually educate drivers about their speeds. The plate
nJrnbers are submitted to the Police as part of the Road Watch Program
and Police are asked to follow up with enforcement. The
committee has two radar guns; one has a display board and the other is a
h...ul-held. The hand-held unit can be borrowed from the committee.

1.0 PURPOSE
1.1 As reported to General Purpose and Administration Committee on November 1,
2004 (Attachment 1) staff had developed a conceptual master plan for the Port
Darlington Waterfront Park. T he conceptual master plan, was approved by
Council at its meeting of November 8, 2004.
1.2 Port Darlington Harbour Company and Wiggers Custom Yachts have indicated
that all of their property on the East Beach is required for their business. In
addition to the feedback from the Port Darlington Harbour Company and Wiggers
Custom Yachts, the citizen feedback received during public reviews in November
2004 has assisted in the preparation of the revised plan.
1.3 The purpose of this report is to recommend an update to the east beach portion
of the Port Darlington Waterfront Park Conceptual Master Plan (attachment 2) in
light of staff's review of these comments and decisions taken by Council
respecting COPA #39.
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 At the October 25th, 2004 meeting of Council, staff were authorized to prepare
appropriate amendments to the Port Darlington Neighbourhood Secondary Plan,
among other things to facilitate the creation of larger, more usable park space as
a focal point on the waterfront. A statutory Public Meeting was held on
November 15, 2004 at which a number of residents appeared before committee
with questions as to the details of the park plan and traffic management issues.
2.2 On November 1, 2004, staff presented the Port Darlington Waterfront Park
Conceptual Master Plan to the Port Darlington Community Association. On
November 4, 2004, staff presented the Plan to residents of the Port Darlington
community at the Bowmanville Community Forum. During these meetings, it
appeared that while there are questions regarding the details, timing and cost of
Addendum to EGD-50-04
Page 3
the park development there is general consensus that the park is desirable and
will be a highly used municipal asset.
2.3 On January 1th, 2005 the Municipality approved an amendment to the Port
Darlington Neighbourhood Secondary Plan (COPA #39) which provides for the
shifting of East Beach Road north from its present location. This will reduce the
area now d~signated Village Commercial by the Secondary Plan which is in
place. Two amendments have been made to COPA #39 to address objections
made. by P~ Darlington Harbour Company, Wiggers Custom Yachts and Mr.
,...
Glen Ransom (By-laws 2005-070 and 2005-101). The revised plan
recommended in this report is consistent with COPA #39.
3.0 MASTER PLAN REVISIONS
3.1 The park elements proposed on the original master plan for the East Beach
include a large central gathering node constructed near the waters edge at the
south extension of Port Darlington Road. This space would be used for special
events such as concerts in the park, fireworks displays, art exhibits, etc. A
nautically themed children's playground, water play area, washroom building,
and concession stand are also proposed for this portion of the park. Large open
green spaces would be provided for picnicking or informal play.
All of these elements have been preserved in the revised Conceptual Master
Plan by shifting eastward the proposed park uses that encroached on the lands
owned by Port Darlington Harbour Company and Wiggers Custom Yachts. The
shift does not delete any of the significant features of the Conceptual Master
Plan.
The plan has also been revised to include park uses on the existing municipal
lands on the west side of Port Darlington Road. They add approximately .64 ha
to the East Beach portion of the park. The addition of these lands to the master
plan allows for the relocation of parking away from the remaining residential area
Addendum to EGD-50-04
Page 4
on East Beach Road. The proposed parking lot on the original master plan was
one of the most significant concerns expressed by residents of East Beach Road.
Moving it away from the residential area will free up more green space close to
the lake and will also reduce vehicular traffic in the vicinity of the remaining
homes on East Beach Road. The plan also illustrates the existing alignment of
East Beach Road and Port Darlington Road as well as the proposed realignment
of East Beach Road.
4.0 CONCLUS!ONS
4.1 It is recommended that Council approve the revised East Beach portion of the
Port Darlington Waterfront Park Conceptual Master Plan.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
In July 2000, Council approved a Land Acquisition Strategy for the Municipality of
Clarington and subsequent updates in May of 2002 (PSD-044-02) and June of 2004
(PSD-093-04). A Financial Analysis was prepared to evaluate the financial viability and
funding sources for the Land Acquisition Strategy (Report PSD-043-02). The Financial
Analysis report concluded that acquisition needed to be scheduled over a 20 year
period. Since, that time a number of properties have been obtained and we now have
sufficient lands to begin some development of the Bowmanville waterfront for parkland.
Council has since June of 2004 approved the acquisition and/or expropriation of the
land~ necessary to develop Phase 1 of the Port Darlington Waterfront Park on the East
Beach. To provide Council with a vision of what the final build out of the park
development would look like, Engineering Services has had a conceptual master plan
prepared for all of the lands identified in the Acquisition Strategy regardless of the land
acquisition timing priority. From this conceptual plan the Phase 1 development plans
can be developed for implementation in 2005 or 2006 subject to funding.
2.0 OVERVIEW OF THE WATERFRONT STRATEGY
The Clarington Waterfront Strategy (1993) was prepared to provide a long-term vision
for Clarington's waterfront. The Strategy identified, among other things, the lack of
active and passive/recreation opportunities along the waterfront. Much of the Lake
Ontario shoreline was impeded by large land owners, such as St. Marys Cement,
Cameco, Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, Wilmot Creek Retirement Community
and large agricultural operations.
To provide more public open space the Strategy identified three district parks, one in
each of the three Urban Areas, focal nodes and areas of interest along the waterfront.
District parks in Newcastle Village and Bowmanville were centered around the existing
harbOurs. The district park for Courtice was identified at the bottom of Courtice Road.
Two passive recreation areas were identified, one around the Wilmot Creek in
Newcastle and the other around Bowmanville Marsh in Bowmanville. The Waterfront
Trail, focal nodes, and areas of interest associated with the trail will be contained within
a greenway of linear parks along the waterfront. (See Attachment 1)
The recommendations within the strategy provided the basis for waterfront policies in
the Clarington Official Plan, adopted in 1996. In the Clarington Official Plan the district
parks are identified with District Park symbols, and the greenway as "Waterfront
Greenway" or in some instances "Environmental Protection".

PROGRESS OF THE BOWMANVILLE WATERFRONT LAND ACQUISITION AND
PARK PLANS
3.1 Overview
In 1999, approximately 45 hectares (111 acres) of land in and adjacent to the
Bowmanville and Wests ide Marshes were secured by the Municipality of Clarington as a
result of negotiations with Blue Circle Cement (now St. Marys Cement) to save a portion
of the Westside Marsh. These lands were subsequently transferred to Central Lake
Ontario Conservation Authority. A management plan is being prepared jointly by the
Municipality and CLOCA to ensure the ecological functions of the marshes are not lost
as a result of future quarrying by St. Marys Cement. The plan will also provide
opportunities for passive recreational uses. The residents and Council were recently
invited on a tout';,; the summer of 2004 to view the works which are nearing completion.
The Municipality leases a portion of the Bowmanville Harbour Conservation Area from
CLOCA. A Conceptual Plan was prepared in 2000 which recommends improvements
to the boat launch, parking lot, Waterfront Trail and fish cleaning station. New play
areas and a lookout are also proposed. The improvements total $1.14 million dollars.
One third funding has been approved in the SuperBuild program. The implementation of
these improvements are contingent on receiving the balance of funds in the 2005
capital budget.
( A District Park is designated at the mouth of the Bowmanville Creek for both the east
beach and west beach. The Port Darlington Harbour Company (PDHC) currently owns
the lands on both the east and west of Bowmanville Creek. The Municipality has been
in negotiations with PDHC for sometime. The PDHC lands on the East Beach are
included in the long-term acquisition strategy however at this time acquisition is not
crucial to the first phase of park development. In addition, accommodating marine
industry in Bowmanville Harbour is desirable from both economic and public interest
aspects (e.g. an active waterfront is desirable). The Municipality has been acquiring
lands on the south and north side of East Beach Road to provide for sufficient depth to
the park and ancillary facilities such as parking and washrooms, etc. As such, the
Municipality has prepared a design concept that can be phased in overtime and in
relation to which lands will ultimately be publicly accessible. In addition, funds should
be allocated in the capital budget to begin implementation such as grading, parking,
seating and some plantings.
3.2 Waterfront Trail
The Waterfront Trail is generally located within the Waterfront Greenway and links the
District Parks, focal nodes and other areas of interest together. The total length of the
trail is 31 kilometers (19 miles). Opportunities to move the trail off road and closer to the
water are sought through development of lands, or by other means such as leases and
licenses agreements.
For the "Waterfront Greenway", in the Clarington Official Plan the intention was to have
the Waterfront Trail integrated within the open space on the lake side of the roadway.

Bowmanville/Westside Marshes Management Plan
CLOCA and the Municipality have been working on a Management Plan for the
Bowmanville and Westside Marshes since 2001; as part of this plan a report regarding
the dynamic beach and how it should be managed in the West Beach Area has been
prepared. The draft report recommended that "Due to the extreme severity of the
hazards (i.e. potential loss of life)" CLOCA and the Municipality continue with the long
term acquisition strategy of this area. In addition, the recreational activities
recommended for this West Beach and Bowmanville Marsh are passive in nature and
promote the restoration of the dune area along West Beach to maintain the barrier
between the lake and marsh.
Conceptual Master Plan for Port Darlington Waterfront Park
A Conceptual Master Plan has been prepared to provide a VISion for the future
development of the waterfront in Port Darlington. The physical barrier of the
Bowmanville Creek divides the park into two distinct sides. Each side presents different
opportunities for park development.
The West Beach side contains the marsh and a sand beach with level access to the
waters edge. The East Beach side has a shoreline that is elevated from the waters edge
and existing uses such as the marina, condominiums, and Bobby C's restaurant.
The Conceptual Master Plan takes advantage of the physical features of each site to
create a district park that will provide a variety of recreational opportunities for residents
of Clarington and beyond.
3.4.1 East Beach Side (Attachment 2)
The east side of the creek would contain the active use areas of the park. It is proposed
that a large central gathering node be constructed near the waters edge at the south
extension of Port Darlington Road. This space would be used for special events such as
concerts in the park, fireworks displays, art exhibits, etc. A nautically themed children's
playground, water play area, washroom building, and concession stand are also
proposed for this portion of the park. Open green spaces would be provided for
picnicking or informal play. The Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail would pass through this
section of the park.
Initially when the Secondary Plan for Port Darlington was being developed (1992) it was
assumed that there would be adequate room south of the existing East Beach Road for
the district park development; however, detailed development of the park plan and an
examination of the existing and potential road alignments have yielded a much more
usable park space, that will accommodate the anticipated activities in the park by
shifting the road to the north.
REPORT NO.: EGD-50-04
PAGE 5
(
Because the surrounding land is higher than the lake, direct access to the waters edge
is limited on the east side of the creek. Walkways and waterfront lookouts would be
constructed parallel to the lake along the top of the bank. Steps down to a waters edge
platform would be constructed. A small beach at the west end would provide direct
access to the waters edge.
The architectural features throughout Port Darlington Waterfront Park, including
buildings, shelters, lights and site furniture would be designed to match the architectural
style of Victorian ~ra Port Darlington. It was during this period that Port Darlington was
an active summer resort.
The activity and"llitality of the east portion of the park would complement the existing
residential, comrfiercial, and marina uses just north of the park. Clarington's Official
Plan includes a Village Commercial block along the south side of the Regional Water
Treatment plant. This block could be developed with shops, artisan's studios and
restaurants. The viilage commercial buildings would also screen the view of the
Regional Plant from the park and provide the opportunity to create rooftop patios
overlooking the lake.
(
3.4.2 West Beach Side (Attachment 3)
The proposed parkland on the west side of the Bowmanville Creek will be much more
passive in character and will complement the beaches and marshes that dominate the
landscape on the west side. The sand beach will be the main attraction of the west
beach portion of the park. The north edge of the west beach portion of the park will
include nature trails along and through the marsh as well as interpretive signage and
opportunities to launch non-motorized boats and canoes in the open water of the marsh.
A waterfront promenade and waterfront lookouts are proposed along the north edge of
the beach. Beach volleyball courts could be constructed between the beach and marsh.
The volleyball courts could be used for informal play or programmed tournaments.
Since the washrooms and playground on the east beach side are not easily accessible
to the west beach it is proposed that a washroom building and children's playground
also be constructed on the west beach side of the park. This area would also provide a
neighbourhood park function for residents.
The Bowmanville Creek is a barrier to pedestrians moving between the east and west
portions of the park. The number and size of boats entering and leaving the lake at the
mouth of the creek would make building a bridge at this location very difficult and
expensive. This master plan proposes a boardwalk that connects the west portion of
the park to the marsh trails on CLOCA's land. Pedestrians would follow the marsh trail
north and cross the creek at a proposed bridge to the Bowmanville Waterfront
Recreation Area that is scheduled to be built in 2005. A bridge at this location is not
currently part of the 2005 project. Including a bridge in the project would create a more
direct pedestrian connection between the east and west portion of Port Darlington
Waterfront Park and between the Bowmanville Waterfront Recreation Area and Port
Darlington Waterfront Park. Using a barge to transport people from the west beach to
the east beach as was done in the early 1900's is also an option.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 The framework to create publicly accessible waterfront has been established in the
Clarington Waterfront Strategy, Clarington Official Plan and the Land Acquisition
Strategy. The financial analysis provided a timeframe for the acquisition of waterfront
lands and the financial means to acquire such lands. The acquisition of waterfront land
was identified by Council as a priority, the timeframes established in the various
strategies and studies have guided staff in their recommendations to Council and land
acquisitions. We are now at the point where some development of the Port Darlington
Waterfront Park is possible.
4.2 At this time it would be prudent for Council to approve in principal the Conceptual
Master Plan for Port Darlington Waterfront Park so that the first phase of development
can be carried out within a future context for further acquisitions and phases of
development. While it is desirable to have public input prior to Council endorsement of
a park master plan, staff is seeking Council endorsement at this time as the Masterplan
has an impact on private property and prior to meetirg with the Port Darlington
Community Association.
(
....
4.3 The first phase of development for the district park is conceptual only and will have to
be detailed prior to construction. A cost estimate for the development of the detailed
design and construction will submitted for consideration in the 2005 Capital Budget. If
approved, the project could be started in 2005 or 2006.

On Sunday 11 July 2004 at 14:15 we were west bound on Highway
401,2 kIn east of Cobourg when we came upon a car upside down on the
side of the road. The wheeles of the car were still turning so we stopped to
help. My daughter(CP02 Melanie Foster) and myself ran to the car and
there was a woman inside the car still in her seat belt. Chief Foster went over
to the car to see if the woman was all right. There was fuel pouring out of
the gas tank. Chief Foster did a quick First aid check to see if the woman all
right. Chief Foster put a rolled up blanket under the woman's head so that
the woman would not hurt her head when she undid her seat belt. Chief
Foster and myself helped the woman get out of the car and chief Foster
moved the woman away from the car and Chief Foster did a First Aid check
of the woman but she was all right. We remained at the accident until the
police and the paramedics arrived. At that time Chief Foster told the police
and paramedics what was done for the woman after that we left.
I feel that Chief Foster should receive some kind of recognition for
what she did in rescuing the woman from the car and rendering First aid. If it
were not for the training Chief Foster had got in Cadets I feel that she would
not have known how to react and do her job,
