Sally Hillis, Enniskillen Environmental Association, (EEA) addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item I — 15 = Resident Concerns Regarding the Clarington Hydro Transformer Station. Ms. Hillis stated building the transformer station on the Oak Ridges Moraine is threatening Clarington's water supply and is setting a dangerous precedent on property where residents rely on their wells for clean, safe drinking water. She commended Council for steps taken to date in protecting Clarington's water supply, including the investment of $25,000 to support Dr. Cherry in conducting research tests on the site, to request Hydro One to drill monitoring wells to a depth of 200 ft to the Thorncliffe aquifer which represents most resident wells, to delay permanent road access until the controversy over groundwater protection can be properly addressed, and to invite the City of Oshawa -to collaborate with the Municipality to enhance existing ground source water protection against large -scale infrastructure projects such as the Clarington Transformer Station. Council Meeting Minutes - 6 - September 15, 2014 Ms. Hillis expressed concern that Hydro One has repeatedly refused to collaborate with Dr. Cherry; has only recently extended an invitation to Dr. Cherry and Clint Cole to meet on site; refuses to obtain an amendment to the Groundwater Monitoring Plan from the Ministry of Environment to drill monitoring wells from 50 ft to 200 ft to ensure safeguarding of resident wells; has threatened to use an alternate road access if the Townline Road access is denied; and has revealed plans to install an elaborate drainage system for the life of the transformer station in order to build it on this high- water-table site which questions the impact on residents' wells and the agricultural sector. Ms. Hillis stated to spend $250,000 to hire a third party independent to review Hydro's own data that has not been scientifically verified seems to be a complete waste of time and taxpayers money and that the money would be better spent to obtain current site - specific data to evaluate the merits of the project. Ms. Hillis stated that Hydro One is the only stakeholder with an urgent timeline and that the company shows no concern for public health and safety nor the timeline 'required to hire a third party consultant to properly analyze four seasons of well monitoring data, before proceeding with construction. Ms. Hillis requested that Council use its authority to delay the Clarington Transformer Station project until the results of Dr. Cherry's research can be compared with that of Hydro One's. Ms. Hillis summarized by stating that Clarington is not the only community affected by this project, noting the City of Oshawa and the Township of Scugog also have concerns. She requested Council to delay the project to protect water resources. Council viewed a video -clip on the importance of clean water. Sally Hillis responded to questions from Members of Council and provided a biography of Dr. John Cherry, Contaminant Hydrogeologist. Resolution #C -309 -1 Moved by Councillor Neal, seconded by Councillor Partner THAT the delegation of Dr. Cherry be extended to 15 minutes Dr. Cherry addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item 1 —15 — Resident Concerns Regarding the Clarington Hydro Transformer Station. Dr. Cherry noted he was before Council this evening as a private citizen and not on behalf of the Enniskillen Environmental Association (EEA) or any other group and feels he can speak for the community of groundwater scientists and engineers who have devoted their careers to the protection of groundwater resources. Dr. Cherry indicated that groundwater in the Oak Ridges Moraine provides drinking water for more than 250,000 people including approximately one quarter of the residents of Clarington who rely on wells. Council Meeting Minutes - 7 - September 15, 2014 Dr. Cherry expressed concern that no true science was used in the Ministry of the Environment's decision to approve the Clarington Transformer project and that the decision needs to be put on hold for the benefit of all. He stated that studies appropriate for a project of this size need to be done first and he is concerned that the project sets a dangerous precedent and bodes badly for drinking water resources and the future of the Moraine. Dr. Cherry outlined a chronology of events that led to Group .360 Centre for Applied Groundwater Research's involvement in the project. He noted Group 360 reviewed the Stantec Report commissioned by Hydro One and approved by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) and found the report to be superficial and misleading and did not answer the questions that should be answered as a public obligation. Dr. Cherry indicated that last August, he and two Group .360 professors submitted a report to the EEA and the MOE indicating that study methods now widely considered as best professional practices and modern ground water monitoring technologies were not used in the Stantec study. Dr. Cherry noted that to date, despite requests to meeting with the Minister to provide an explanation as to why they found the site assessment to be so deficient, the Minister has refused to meet with them. Dr. Cherry also advised that Hydro One has also avoided meeting with him and that Hydro One's position is that there are no deficiencies in the information in the reports and that no more drilling is needed. Dr. Cherry cited examples of what he believes to be deficiencies in the studies done at the site. He requested that resources from the EEA, the University, the Municipality and Hydro _ One be pooled together to decide where several holes should be drilled and to what depth each should be but noted that Hydro One is not on board. Dr. Cherry summarized by stating that Council should do what is necessary to put the project on hold and to organize a public meeting where Hydro One, Stantec and the MOE are requested to explain and defend the Transformer Project. Dr. Cherry responded to questions from Members of Council. In response to a question, Dr. Cherry confirmed that the Clarington Transformer Station Project should be subject to a full environmental assessment. Kythe Baldwin addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item D — 13 - Grading Issues. Mr. Baldwin indicated that he purchased his home in 2012 and has experienced lot grading issues at the rear of the lot since the sod was laid. Mr. Baldwin stated his lot was supposed to have a 1.2 incline at the back of the property, grading towards the home, but noted the slope is so severe, the sod would not adhere to it and it is impossible to cut the lawn safely. He indicated the slope of the rear of the yard has been checked and re- checked several times but has not been fixed. Mr. Baldwin indicated that during a recent storm, drainage from the four lots surrounding his property drained into his property and he is concerned with the water that will accumulate due to the winter run -off. Mr. Baldwin noted that his family has not been able to enjoy their entire property for the past two years and that the Municipality should take responsibility for this poor grading. plan. He requested Council to rectify the situation. Council Meeting Minutes - 8 - September 15, 2014 Steve Carruthers addressed Council concerning Unfinished Business #1 - Addendum to Report PSD- 041 -14 - Application for Draft Plan of Subdivision to Permit the Development of 24 Detached Dwellings and a Park. Mr. Carruthers stated the public meeting held on September 3, 2014, provided the opportunity for members of the public to express their concerns and to obtain answers from planning staff and the hydrogeological engineer. He indicated that there is sufficient water to support the development and that it should not be an issue for the area residents. Mr. Carruthers stated that residents were excited about the park plan but requested that it be expedited. He stated approval of the application would provide for 24 families to be part of the community and would help sustain the school and the viability of the store. Mr. Carruthers confirmed that he has received positive feedback following the public meeting. Phil Palumbo addressed Council concerning Unfinished Business #1 - Addendum to Report PSD- 041 -14 - Application for Draft Plan of Subdivision to Permit the Development of 24 Detached Dwellings and a Park. Mr. Palumbo stated he is one of the residents in support of the subdivision and the inclusion of the park. He noted that the 24 homes will address the declining population of the Enniskillen Public School. Resolution #C- 310 -14 Moved by Councillor Partner, seconded by Councillor Hooper THAT Council recess for ten minutes.

ADOPTION OF AGENDA 14.23 Moved by David Reesor, seconded by Tracey Ali, THAT the agenda be adopted. "CARRIED" ADOPTION OF MINUTES 14.24 Moved by Karin Murphy, seconded by David Reesor THAT the minutes of the Meeting of June 17, 2014 be accepted. "CARRIED" BUSINESS ARISING Storage Shed at Beech Centre — The committee had been circulated with the, recommendation of the HCD review committee, consultant and staff in the summer. The proposed reconstruction is a rebuild of the existing shed with little change. Essentially it is replacing what was damaged during the ice storm. No additional funds 11 Page were allocated to be able to carry out any enhancements as had been envisioned by some of the user groups. 14.25 Moved by Karin Murphy, seconded by Marion Saunders THAT.the recommendation of the HCD Review Committee be ratified. • • , Orono Fair Display— Displays were considered to be successful. A number of barn owners to follow -up with, distribution of some heritage designation brochures. Good as a means of putting a "face" to the committee and providing outreach to the community. Jury Lands Foundation (Camp 30) — F. Langmaid advised that the by -laws for the Jury Lands Foundation have been finalized. The articles of incorporation have been received. A next step will be to seek charitable status. Meeting in August provided an opportunity to summarize lessons learned by Brickworks tour. Chair has met with and briefed new MPP The Municipality approved $45,000 during the budget review to retain an architect to conduct a structural analysis on the buildings. Consultant has been working on this and report is anticipated this week. Will be reviewed with Foundation and owner. A next step out of the report will be to apply for money to moth -ball the buildings properly. Ontario Heritage Trust Nominations – No additional nominations had been received. The report has been submitted for the Sept 22 GPA Meeting, to be ratified by Council on Sept 29th and will be submitted by Sept 30th deadline. Designated Property Owner Outreach —There are still some outstanding visits to be made by various committee members. Generally the experience has been very positive, plaques are in place, most residents do not have their by -laws so appreciated receiving one. Most were happy to hear about the heritage incentive grants. Give members the ability to discuss misconceptions. It would be a good thing to do on a regular basis, especially when owners change. Most owners do not recall letters from Committee in February, the members would recommend not sending the letters in Municipal envelopes so that owners are sure to open them. Heritage Incentive Grants —All five grants are complete. Report will go to Council in January on the program. Chair of CHC should appear at budget meeting to request additional funds. be allocated. Municipal Register Discussion —This discussion had been deferred so that results of the designated owner outreach was known. There are a number of misconceptions out there that will have to be addressed through some form of outreach. One thought would be to concentrate on the "primary" buildings on the inventory first; making sure the 21 Page information is accurate and beginning to contact those owners. Experience from other municipalities on municipal register is tailored to each community. The only advantage of being on the municipal register is the 60 days allocated to staff to address a demolition permit; it was noted that when an owner comes for a demolition permit is typically very far along in the process. Staff have a directive from Council to notify owners if we are moving buildings onto the Municipal Register. REPORTS from OTHER COMMITTEES (community improvement plans, etc) Bowmanville CIP — The next meeting is scheduled for October 15, 2014. Orono CIP — The next meeting is scheduled for October 1, 2014.

Newcastle Village and District Historical Society (NVDHS) — M. Saunders reported that . the next meeting of the Board will be at the Municipal Administrative Centre on October 20th with a presentation on the GIS System by municipal staff. Members of the CHC are welcome to attend as well. Museum — The Harvest Supper is September 27th, tickets are available from Board members and are $35. The Board is in the process of hiring an Executive Director. Kim provided an update on the events that will be held at the Museum over the next couple of months. CORRESPONDENCE and COUNCIL REFERRAL - -None. PROJECT REPORTS Barn Book Project —250 calendars printed in time for Orono Fair, production cost is about $3 each they are being sold for $5. 60+ sold at the Fair plus some books. Good visibility for the barns book project, the beams from Windy Lea Barn interested people as did the carpentry tools for barn building. The calendars have been distributed to a number of stores to sell. 3 Page NEW BUSINESS 210 King Avenue, Newcastle A Heritage Permit application for the designated property at 210 King Avenue, Newcastle has been received. The proposal is to replace the windows with replicated windows while retaining the original frames and sills and without disturbing the outside or inside sash treatments. Committee members had some questions about what you were going to be doing with the existing windows once they come out and also had concern that some of the original window (they think the 20x20 ones) had original (wavy) glass in them. But they were very appreciative of the time invested by the owner in investigation and of the desire to proceed this fall. 14.26 Moved by Councillor Hooper, seconded by David Reesor That the heritage permit for 210 King Avenue for a minor alteration be approved with the condition that the existing "original glass" windows be safely stored for future property owners use and that the potential to reuse the 20x20 windows be considered for retention in -situ in addition to the new window; with the details of the concerns and heritage permit to be issued by the Director of Planning Services. ....I Historic Municipal Buildings — concern was expressed that installation of solar panels on municipal facilities may detract from their heritage qualities.

Submitted by: Reviewed by: ` f i J. Crome, MClP, RPP Franklin Wu, Director of Planning Services Chief Administrative Officer Municipality of Clarington Report PSD- 057 -14 Page 2 Report overview Taking into account the concerns expressed by the neighbouring residents, it is Staff's opinion that the proposed redevelopment will conform with the policies of the Durham Regional Official Plan and the Clarington Official Plan and will not be a detriment to the surrounding area. It is recommended that the applications submitted by Bowmanville Professional Office Ltd.be approved. Approval of these applications will result in: • An expansion of the 4,395 m2 (47,325 ft2) existing facility by an additional 2,442 M2 (25,295 ftz); • An expansion of the existing parking lot; and • The creation of a new parking lot on the west side of St. George Street. 1. Background 1.1 At a Public Meeting held on September 22nd, 2014, the General Purpose and Administration Committee heard from two residents whose properties abut the proposed parking lot on the west side of St. George Street. The following five concerns were expressed by the public: • if approved, this development will leave 6 St. George Street North as the last residential property between King Street East and Church Street. • What impact will this have on residential property values? • Once complete, 6 Church Street will be surrounded by parking lots. • What will the enclosure /fence around the parking lot on the west side of St. George St. look like? and • Will traffic calming measures be installed? 1.2 During the Public Meeting, the Owner's architect and planning consultant expressed the following seven points: Significant expense will put into fencing and landscaping around the new parking area proposed for the west side of St. George Street; Within the past week, Bowmanville Professional Office Ltd. has begun discussions with the neighbour at 6 Church Street on acquiring that property; Municipality of Clarington Report PSD- 057 -14 Page 3 • The Parking Study submitted in support of this application demonstrated that the existing and proposed parking areas will be sufficient to meet the parking needs generated by the proposed development; • Occupancy of the new addition will increase over time. It is not expected to be fully occupied upon completion; • After more than two years of planning and preparation, the Owners are eager to proceed with the development proposal as outlined in the submitted application; • Delaying development while awaiting the outcome of real estate discussions on 6 Church Street will have negative financial implications on the outcome of the current proposal and will not immediately benefit the staff and clients of the Bowmanville Professional Building; and • It is respectfully requested that the Committee recommend approval of this application to Council on September 29th, 2014. 2. Discussion 2.1 The parking lot proposed for the west side of St. George Street will have a 20 metre frontage along Church Street and 49 m along St. George Street. This will create a gap in the street wall which is generally not desirable. The Church Street frontage will be opposite the Vincent Massey Public School playground area. Screening of the parking area will come from a brick and iron decorative fence as well as landscape plantings to provide a street edge. This will include the preservation of existing mature trees. The entrance to the new parking lot will be on St. George Street. 2.2 There is one parking lot located on Church Street associated with 196 King Street East (the former Blockbuster store). Based on the minimal orientation of the parking lot on Church Street, the design of the proposed fence and landscaping and the fact that automobile traffic will access the parking lot from St. George Street, the residential character of Church Street will be preserved, provided that additional redevelopment does not create further gaps along the street edge. 2.3 The Parking Study submitted with this application stated that, while the building was at 98% occupancy, the peak parking needs of the Bowmanville Professional Building were 1 space for every 40 square meters of gross floor area. For the current 4,395 m2 (47,325 f2) facility, that parking ratio results in a maximum requirement of 111 parking spaces. Following the proposed building expansion, the additional 2,442 m2 (26,295 ft2) will generate a need for an additional 62 parking spaces for a combined 173 parking spaces. The current application proposes to provide 206 parking spaces which will exceed anticipated demand by 19 %. Staff support the conclusions of the Parking Study that a reduction of Municipality of Clarington Resort PSD- 057 -14 Page 4 the minimum parking requirements will not have a detrimental impact on the surrounding area. 2.4 6 Church Street is designated as "Street- Related Commercial" in the Bowmanville East Town Centre Secondary Plan. It is intended that this property will redevelop over time to accommodate commercial or mixed -uses along King Street. The orientation and design of the new parking lot on the west side of St. George Street will not inhibit the future redevelopment of 6 Church Street. It should be considered as part of a redevelopment plan for 265 King Street East and not the medical facility. 2.5 Bowmanville Professional Office Ltd. have submitted detailed landscape plans, tree preservation plans and an illumination plan that identify how the proposed parking lot on the west side of St. George St. will be screened and buffered from the residential neighbours. Staff have spoken with the neighbour at 3 Church Street to learn what additional measures can be incorporated into these plans to further enhance their effectiveness. 2.6 The Engineering Services Department has considered the additional traffic that will be generated by this development and does not believe that the additional staff and patients would have a demonstrable impact on local traffic volume or speeds. As with all Municipal roads, traffic management will be reviewed in accordance with Municipal practice and appropriate traffic controls will be considered where required. 3. Conclusion 3.1 Approval of the attached Official Plan Amendment and Zoning Bylaw Amendment will permit the construction of a 2,442 m2 addition to the existing medical facility, expand the existing parking area and create a new parking lot as shown on Attachment 1. The corresponding Site Plan amendment will ensure that the design and screening of the new parking areas will not detract from the character of Church Street as a residential street. The resulting development will continue to meet all of its parking needs on -site and will conform with the stated objectives of the Durham Regional Official Plan and the Clarington Official Plan. 3.1 It is recommended that the proposed Official Plan Amendment (Attachment 2 and 3 of Report PSD - 057 -14) and Zoning By -law Amendment (Attachment 4 of Report PSD - 057 -14) be approved. 4.
