• the�plan states that "Living Areas" shall be developed in compact form
through higher density and by intensifying and redeveloping existing areas
• the plan seeks to preserve and foster the attributes of communities and the
historic and cultural heritage of the Region and encourages the conservation,
protection and enhancement of Durham's built and cultural heritage resources

Heritage Feature" requiring that any proposal for development or site
alteration shall demonstrate that there will be no negative effects on key
natural heritage features or their functions

6. Further, that Council authorize staff to bring forward the by-law required to
formally stop-up and close the parts of Nordane Drive with Plans 40M-1861 and
40M-1892 required to complete the lotting pattern shown on Attachment #3 for
enactment and registration.
Executive Summary: The subject property is located on the east side of Woodview
Avenue, north of Pine Grove Avenue (see Location Map —Attachment #1).
The application proposes to rezone the easterly portion of the subject property from an
agricultural zone to a residential zone in order to facilitate the development of thirteen
lots, consisting of eight lots for detached dwellings having frontage on Sandhurst
Crescent, and three lots for detached dwellings and two lots for four semi-detached
dwellings having frontage on Nordane Drive (see Applicant's Plan —Attachment#2).
The applicant is also requesting authorization from Council to create the lots through
land division instead of through a plan of subdivision and to delete the extension of
Nordane Drive to Sandhurst Crescent from the Highbush Neighbourhood Plan.
The recommended zoning amendment represents appropriate density and perFormance
standards for this infill development. The proposed development is appropriate and
implements the Official Plan. The development demonstrates an appropriate lotting
pattern and is in keeping with the established lotting pattern along each street. The
deletion of the north-south road connection of Nordane Drive to Sandhurst Crescent is
also appropriate as it does not significantly affect the connectivity within the
neighbourhood. It is recommended that this street connection be deleted from the City
of Pickering Official Plan Highbush Neighbourhood Map, and that City staff begin the
process of stopping up, closing and declaring surplus the parts of Nordane Drive no
longer required for the road connection.
City Development staff is satisfied that a plan of subdivision is neither appropriate nor
necessary since the subject lands represent a small infill development along an existing
road network and there are existing services available along both Sandhurst Crescent
and Nordane Drive and therefore the lands can proceed through land division.
Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the
proposed development.
1. Background
The residential lands surrounding the subject property were developed in the late
1990s. At that time, a large agricultural property was subdivided to
accommodate residential plans of subdivision consisting of detached and semi-
detached dwellings. The subject property was not included in the development
at that time and currently retains its agricultural zoning. Municipal service
connections were installed along Sandhurst Crescent and Nordane Drive to
facilitate the future development of the subject property.

1.1 Property Description �
The subject property is located on the east side of Woodview Avenue, north of
Pine Grove Avenue and is approximately 0.52 hectares in area (see Location
Map —Attachment#1). A land division application (LD 33/13) was approved by
the Durham Region Land Division Committee on February 11, 2013, to sever the _
westerly portion of the subject lands, containing the existing detached dwelling,
while retaining the easterly portion of the subject lands intended to be developed
for future residential lots. There is existing mature vegetation on the property,
centrally clustered and located along the north, west and south property lines
with open spaces throughout the site.
Established low density residential subdivisions surround the subject lands
comprising detached and semi-detached dwellings with the exception of the
lands at the northeast quadrant of Pine Grove Avenue and Woodview Avenue,
which consist of large residential lots containing detached dwellings.
1.2 Applicant's Proposal
The applicant is proposing to rezone the easterly portion of the subject property
from an agricultural zone to various residential zones to facilitate the
development of thirteen lots, consisting of eight lots for detached dwellings
having frontage on Sandhurst Crescent, and three lots for detached dwellings
and two lots for four semi-detached dwellings having frontage on Nordane Drive.
The proposal requests deletion of the extension of Nordane Drive to Sandhurst
Crescent, as shown on the Highbush Neighbourhood Plan. The applicant is also
requesting authorization from Council to create the proposed lots through land
division, whereas the Pickering Official Plan limits the number of new lots that
can be created by land severance to a maximum of three.
In order to facilitate the development, the applicant is proposing to combine the
subject lands with seven existing part lots along Sandhurst Crescent and three
part lots along Nordane Drive to create fully buildable lots. The proposal also
requires the applicant to acquire a portion of the existing Nordane Drive road
allowance along Nordane Drive and Sandhurst Crescent from the City.
2. Comments Received
2.1 At the February 4, 2013 Public Information Meeting and in written
submission
Approximately four area residents/landowners attended the meeting.
Report PLN 05-13 April 8, 2013
Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application (A 8/12) Page 4
A consultant appeared before the Committee on behalf of the developer of
Nordane Drive (Maxcon Developments Ltd), who had conveyed land to the City
many years ago to facilitate the future extension of Nordane Drive. He noted that
there had been an Ontario Municipal Board hearing regarding his client's ,
property. He also questioned whether his client would be reimbursed for his '
expenses with respect to servicing, noting he had complied with the City's
request at the time and now consideration is being given not to make Nordane
Drive a through road. Two area residents provided written concerns. The issue
identified was the same in each letter requesting i'nstallation of a wooden privacy
fence along the easterly adjacent property lines with the subject property.
The Subdivision Agreement, which was executed between the City of Pickering
and Maxcon Developments Ltd. through Draft Plan Number 18T-84018 (Phase 2),
does not include any reference to reimbursements for financial payments made
by Maxcon Developments Ltd. for the servicing and construction of the northern
terminus of Nordane Drive; nor does it require the reconveyance to Maxcon
Developments Ltd. of any parcels of land previously transferred by it.
The Development Agreement, which will be executed between the City of
Pickering and the applicant, will include a condition to erect a wood privacy fence
along the property lines adjacent to existing property owners.
2.2 City Departments & Agency Comments I
Region of Durham • subject lands are located within the "Living Areas"
designation in the Durham Region Official Plan
• the Region of Durham Planning Department has advised
that this application complies with the policies of the
Regional Official Plan
• Schedule `B' of the Durham Region Official Plan has
identified a Key Natural Heritage Feature being located
on the subject site. A vegetation assessment was
submitted addressing the Natural Heritage Significance
of the wooded area. Given the relative size, isolation and
lack of mature tree species, it appears that this does not
constitute a Key Natural Heritage Feature as defined by
the Regional Official Plan
• sanitary and water services are available to the subject
property

• as a condition of approval of the land division applications,

agreement with the City
3. Planning Analysis
3.1 The proposal complies with the density provisions of the Pickering Official
Plan
The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject property as "Urban Residential
— Low Density Areas" within the Highbush Neighbourhood. Lands within this
designation are intended primarily for housing at a net residential density of up to �
and including 30 units per net hectare. The proposal to create thirteen new lots
represents a net density of approximately 27 units per net hectare, which falls
within the permitted density range.
3.2 Deletion of Nordane Drive Road Connection is supported by Staff
The Highbush Neighbourhood Map illustrates a proposed new road connection
extending Nordane Drive to Sandhurst Crescent (see Attachment#4 — Highbush
Neighbourhood Map). The existing roadway network in this neighbourhood
provides for adequate connectivity for all modes of travel and therefore the
additional linkage between Sandhurst Crescent and Nordane Drive would provide
minimal benefits to existing residents in terms of efficient traffic movement.
Furthermore, the extension of Nordane Drive is not contemplated for transit
service, which will continue along Pine Grove Avenue. The residents in the
immediate area have not raised any issues with respect to the deletion of
Nordane Drive extension. The City Development Department is supportive of the
deletion of the north-south road connection of Nordane Drive to Sandhurst
Crescent and recommends that this street connection be deleted from the City of
Pickering Official Plan Highbush Neighbourhood Map (see Appendix II —
Informational Revision 18).
The applicant has expressed a desire to purchase Block 17, Plan 40M-1861 from
the City. Block 17 is a 1 foot reserve across Nordane Drive immediately adjoining
the south boundary of the subject property. The Director, Corporate Services &
City Solicitor confirms that Block 17 may be sold to the applicant subject to the
requirements of the City's Policy with respect to the acquisition and disposal of
land.
3.3 The proposed development is consistent with the character of the
. established neighbourhood
The subject property is within an established residential neighbourhood with a
majority of detached dwellings fronting onto Sandhurst Crescent and semi-
detached dwellings fronting onto Nordane Drive. The proposed lotting pattern
along Sandhurst Crescent and Nordane Drive is consistent with the established
lotting pattern within the immediate neighbourhood and maintains the
neighbourhood character.
Report PLN 05-13 April 8, 2013
Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application (A 8/12) Page 6
The proposed zoning by-law amendment extends the existing zoning along
Nordane Drive and Sandhurst Crescent into the subject lands to continue the
built form of the existing residential neighbourhood and to ensure consistency
along the street. The proposed frontage and area of the proposed lots are
consistent with the established lot frontage and lot area of the surrounding
neighbourhood. The proposed lotting pattern is desirable and it would be in
keeping with the character of the established neighbourhoods.
3.4 Council's approval is required to permit the new lots to be created through
land severance
Section 15.26 (b) of the Pickering Official Plan requires that land capable of
being divided into more than three additional lots be developed by a draft plan of
subdivision, except where it is demonstrated to Council's satisfaction that a plan
of subdivision is neither appropriate nor necessary in which case Council may
authorize the development to proceed by land severance.
Land division applications were submitted by Craig Marshall to the Durham
Region Land Division Committee on January 2, 2013. At that time, City staff
requested that the applications to create eight residential lots along Sandhurst
Crescent be tabled until the zoning by-law amendment had been considered by
Council, and Council granted the authorization to permit the division of the
subject lands through land division rather than by draft plan of subdivision.
When Council authorizes a development to proceed by land division, the City can
require the owner to enter into one or more agreements respecting matters that
would normally have been covered by a subdivision agreement.
Planning staff is satisfied that a plan.of subdivision is neither appropriate nor
necessary since the subject lands represent a small infill development along an
existing road network and there are existing services available along both
Sandhurst Crescent and Nordane Drive. The City will have the opportunity to
provide comments and recommend conditions of severance to the Region of
Durham Land Division Committee addressing development matters such as, but
not limited to:
• the requirement for a development and noise agreement
• the installation of servicing connections
• an architectural design statement (to ensure the proposed housing design is
in keeping with the character of the established neighbourhood)
• a tree preservation (where practical) and enhancement plan
• stormwater management report
• preliminary lot grading and drainage plans
• proposed driveway locations and entrances
� cash-in-tieu of parkland dedication taken as if the property was being
developed by draft plan of subdivision (5% contribution)
• securities and insurance, and
• Council's authorization to proceed by land division

3.5 Stop-Up, Closure and Conveyance of Nordane Drive Road Connection
The road allowance for the extension of Nordane Drive was acquired by the City
through the development of two registered plans of subdivision (40M-1861 and
40M-1892). With the deletion of the road connection of Nordane Drive to
Sandhurst Crescent, the road allowances are no longer required by the City.
In order to convey these lands to Craig Marshall, for the development of the
proposed residential lots, reference plans will be required to legally describe the
limits of Nordane Drive within Plans 40M-1861 and 40M-1892. An appraisal to
determine the value of the road pieces will need to be done by the applicant prior
to City staff bringing forward a by-law to Council to formally stop-up and close the
required portions of Nordane Drive and to authorize the sale of these lands.
3.6 Sustainability Implications
Staff's review of the application against the City's Draft Sustainable Development
Guidelines resulted in a score below the Level 1 standard. Given the small
scope of the application, there is limited opportunity to achieve Level 1.
The proposed development will utilize existing services along Sandhurst
Crescent and Nordane Drive.
Further opportunities exist for the applicant to implement additional sustainable
options through future development and building permit processes.
3.7 By-law to be forwarded to Council
The lands are currently zoned "A" — Rural Agricultural Zone. The draft zoning
by-law attached as Appendix I to this report replaces the "A" zone with various
residential zones (S3, S4 and SD-A) with 10.0 and 12.0 metre minimum
frontages for detached dwellings and 7.5 metre minimum frontages for �
semi-detached dwellings to facilitate the development of the subject lands.
It is recommended that the draft by-law be finalized and forwarded to Council for
enactment.

PICKERING Report Number: PLN 06-13
Date: April 8, 2013
From: Thomas Melymuk i
Director, City Development
Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 6/12
Navraj Properties Inc. .
720 Sheppard Avenue
Recommendation:
1. That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 6/12, submitted by Navraj
Properties Inc., to permit additional office and commercial uses on lands
municipally known as 720 Sheppard Avenue be approved; and
2. Further, that the draft zoning by-law to implement Zoning By-law Amendment
Application A 6/12, as set out in Appendix I to Report PLN 06-13, be finalized and
forwarded to City Council for enactment.
Executive Summary: The applicant has submitted a Zoning By-law Amendment
application proposing to expand the list of permitted uses on the subject property
formerly the Weber Medical Centre. The proposed uses include a business office,
convenience store, personal service shop and professional office. The subject property
is located at the northeast corner of Sheppard Avenue and Whites Road.
The additional uses comply with the policies of the Pickering Official Plan and are
appropriate for the existing building and compatible with the surrounding land uses. To
mitigate parking issues that have occurred in the past due to the high parking demand of
the medical office uses, the draft zoning by-law includes a provision restricting medical
office and related uses within the existing building to 50% of the total gross leasable area.
This provision shall ensure sufficient parking supply is available to accommodate all the
uses.
As a result of the comments received at the Information Meeting, the applicant has
agreed to undertake site improvements to the property, including the repair of fencing,
improve on-site lighting and the repair of retaining wall planter boxes. In addition, the
applicant has provided the City with a letter of understanding and security to ensure all
works are completed to the satisfaction of the City.
Staff recommend that the application be approved and the implementing zoning by-law
amendment, attached as Appendix I, be forwarded to Council for enactment.
Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the
recommendations of this report.

1. Background
1.1 Property Description
The subject property is located at the northeast corner of Sheppard Avenue and
Whites Road and is approximately 0.26 of a hectare in size (see Location Map —
Attachment#1). A 2-storey medical clinic building having 929 square metres of
gross floor area is currently located on the site. The site contains a total of
50 parking spaces and has an existing vehicular driveway entrance from
Sheppard Avenue. �
Surrounding lands uses include: The CN rail line to the north, townhouses to the
south and detached dwellings to the east and west. Furthermore, Dunbarton High
School is located at the southwest corner of Sheppard Avenue and Whites Road.
1.2 Applicant's Proposal
The applicant is proposing to expand the list of permitted uses to include �
professional office, business office, personal service shop and convenience store
within the existing building (see Applicant's Submitted Plan -Attachment#2).
The current zoning on the property specifically permits a medical office facility.
The applicant is requesting the additional uses in order to provide a greater ,
flexibilify to attract tenants and to maintain the sites economic viability. No
physical changes are proposed to the existing building or the property. The
applicant has amended his original application, in consultation with staff, deleting
the proposed scientific research or medical laboratory (non-industrial) use.
2. Comments Received
2.1 At the December 3, 2012 Public Information Meeting and in written
submission
A resident appeared at the meeting expressing her concerns regarding the
proposed zoning by-law amendment and identified various issues mostly related '
to ongoing maintenance of the property, sufficient supply of on-site parking and
loading, and compatibility of the proposed uses with surrounding uses.
Specifically, the concerns identified are as follows:
• improve on-site lighting
• repair or replacement of existing fencing along the east and north property
lines '
• insufficient supply of on-site parking and loading areas to accommodate
additional uses
• handling of waste management on-site
• hours of operation of the proposed uses
• appropriateness of permitting a convenience store use

2.2 City Departments & Agency Comments
Durham Region • the subject lands are located within the "Living
Areas" designation within the "Regional Corridor"
in the Durham Region Official Plan
• the Region of Durham Planning Department has
advised that the proposed additional uses
comply with the Regional Official Plan
Engineering & Public • no objection to the application
Works
CN Rail • no objection to the application given that the
building exists and a chain link fence is erected
to address potential trespass issues
Durham District School • no objection to the application
Board • the Durham District School Board advises the
owner of the property that the proposed ',
_ convenience store may create issues regarding
loitering given the proximity of the Dunbarton
High School
3. Planning Analysis
3.1 The proposed additional uses comply with the provisions of the Pickering
Official Plan
The Pickering Official Plan designates the property as "Urban Residential — Low
Density Areas" within the Woodlands Neighborhood. Lands within this
designation permit residential uses and limited offices, retailing of goods and
services serving the area. The requested additional uses comply with the
policies of the Pickering Official Plan.
3.2 Proposed uses are appropriate for the existing building and compatible
with the surrounding land uses
The proposed additional uses include professional office, business office,
personal service shop and convenience store would complement the existing
medical office use currently permitted within the building. The requested uses
are appropriate for the existing building and are eompatible with the surrounding
land uses. The additional uses will provide opportunities for the applicant to
attract additional tenants to the building. Furthermore, the proposed uses will
provide additional office and commercial uses to serve the surrounding residents.
Report PLN 06-13 April 6, 2013
Subject: Navraj Properties Inc. (A 6/12) Page 4
3.3 Sufficient parking supply is available on-site to accommodate the
additional uses
Currently, a total of 50 parking spaces are provided on-site in accordance with
the approved site plan. This property has had on-going parking issues due to the
higher parking demand of the medical office uses, which has resulted in overflow
parking onto Sheppard Avenue. To mitigate future parking issues, staff are
recommending that the amending by-law restrict medical office and related uses
within the existing building to 50% of the total gross leasable floor area. The
additional uses proposed will help relieve the parking concerns due to the lower
parking demand. Restricting medical office us�s and introducing additional uses
that have a lower parking demand will help ensure sufficient on-site parking is
available to serve all of the uses.
3.4 Adequate loading and unloading space is available on-site
The current zoning on the property does not require a dedicated loading space.
Based on discussions with the owner, deliverers and loading requirements for the
various uses within the building are unlike that of industrial uses. It is anticipated
that deliveries will be by cube vans and smaller delivery vehicles. Therefore,
staff are satisfied that the regular parking space can serve as loading spaces for
these delivery vehicles, which will service the existing and�proposed uses.
3.5 The Owner is committed to improving on-site maintenance of the property
Concerns were expressed at the Information Meeting regarding the maintenance
of the property, such as the condition of the existing fencing along the perimeter
of the property, lighting and garbage. The applicant is committed to undertaking
site improvements to the property and recently repaired the cedar privacy fence
located along the east property line and the chain link fence located at the north
west corner of the property.
Based on discussions with the applicant, all garbage is stored in the basement
refuse room and disposed by a private contractor and will no longer be stored
outside of the building. The owner will install a garbage receptacle at the
entrance of the building to mitigate concerns with respect to on-site littering.
The applicant is proposing other repairs to the property including the retaining
wall planter located along the west property line adjacent to existing parking area
and the repair of the exterior wall mounted lighting located on the back and side
of the building. To ensure the works are completed, the owner has provided the
City with a letter of understanding and a security in the amount of$5,000. The
owner acknowledges that these funds will be held by the City until such time as
the owner completes the property and building maintenance in conformity with
the approved Site Plan.

Subject: Proposed Telecommunication Utility Poles '
The Regional Municipality of Durham
2105 Rosebank Road '
1611 Pepperwood Gate
583 Eyer Drive
1610 Dersan Street
Recommendation: .
1. That the Region of Durham be advised that City Council supports the proposed
18.0 metre high telecommunication utility pole to be located at 2105 Rosebank
Road, based on the design and other details submitted with this request; '
2. That the Region of Durham be advised that City Council supports the proposed
18.0 metre high telecommunication utility pole to be located at 583 Eyer Drive I,

4. Further, that the Region of Durham be advised that City Council supports the
proposed 18.0 metre high telecommunication utility pole to be located at 1610 Dersan
Street based on the design and other details submitted with this request.
Executive Summary: The Region of Durham is currently upgrading their control
systems at all water supply facilities throughout the Region. The upgrades include
improvements to the wireless communication system at all of its water supply sites. The
Region is proposing to erect one 18.0 metre high concrete utility pole with communication
equipment on it at each site. As these installations include radiocommunication
equipment, they are subject to the public consultation requirements established by
Industry Canada.
Since the submission of the initial proposals, the Region of Durham has completed their
public consultation process, in accordance with Industry Canada's requirements for four
of their locations in Pickering. The Region has advised that only four public comments
were received and are requesting that City Council provide a statement of concurrence
in support of the installations.

City staff are supportive of the proposed installations. For each proposed location,
there does not appear to be an acceptable opportunity to co-locate on an existing tower,
and the proposed towers have been designed to minimize any negative impacts on
adjacent properties. Furthermore, these communication poles will assist the Region of
Durham through improvements to operations and process monitoring, water delivery
and response times in the event of an emergency.
Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the
proposed development.
1. Background
1.1 Applicant's Proposal
In August 2012, the Region of Durham submitted four applications to the City
Clerk outlining its proposal to construct an 18.0 metre high concrete utility pole
for wireless communications on the lands municipally known as:
2105 Rosebank Road (see Location Map —Attachment#1)
583 Eyer Drive (see Location Map —Attachment #2)
1611 Pepperwood Gate (see Location Map —Attachment#3)
1610 Dersan Street (see Location Map —Attachment#4)
The proposed communication pole will be located within the existing fenced
compound at each site. The Region has provided an illustration of the proposed
18.0 metre high pole to be installed at each location (see Applicant's Submitted
Plan —Attachment #5). The associated radio equipment will be stored within the
existing water supply plant at each site, with the exception of 1611 Pepperwood
Gate, where the radio equipment is proposed to be stored within a panel
mounted to the proposed pole.

2. Comments Received
2.1 Required Public Notification has been completed
City Development staff are in the process of developing a protocol respecting the
installation of telecommunication towers for City Council's consideration. In the
absence of a City protocol, applicants must follow Industry Canada requirements
as outlined in the Client Procedures Circular (CPC) 2-0-03 Issue 4, entitled
"Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems".
The Industry Canada requirements for public consultation require the proponent
to consult with the land use authority, and the public within a radius of three times
the tower height, measured from the tower base or the outside perimeter of the
supporting structure.
Based on the proposed 18.0 metre tower height, each proposed installation
required notification to adjoining property owners within a 54 metre radius of the
base of the tower. The applicant expanded the public notification to a radius of
65 metres from the proposed location of each telecommunication pole. The
applicant provided written notification to the adjoining property owners within this
� radius. The Region's consultant has confirmed that oniy four comments were
received as a result of the notification process (see Applicant's Public
Consultation Report—Attachment#6).
The site at 2015 Rosebank Road received a comment from a neighbouring
property owner indicating that they had no objections to the proposal.
The second comment came from the Durham District School Board regarding the
installation at 1611 Pepperwood Gate which abuts the west side of the school
property. The Durham District School Board comments were focused on
maintaining safety of the school population during construction and during the
day-to-day operations by Region of Durham staff. The Region has indicated that i,
they will update the school board on the construction schedule. '
The third comment received was from Paul and Marylinne Gross (580 Eyer Drive) '
who live near the 583 Eyer Drive site. They did not express any objection to the
installation of the telecommunication pole but suggested it be designed to look
like an evergreen tree similar to what was installed in Algonquin Park. The
Region acknowledged their comments regarding the appearance and indicated
they would do their best to address them. The Region has indicated that after .
considering the comments they believe the tree design would look out of place in
this area. City Development staff are in agreement with this position as it would
look out of place given its scale against the existing vegetation surrounding the
site.

Subject: Proposed Telecommunication Utility Poles Page 5
The fourth comment received was from Ms. Surkis (590 Eyer Drive) and her
concerns were related to the potential impact the communication pole would
have on the value of her property and whether the installation would be
hazardous to her health. The Region of Durham responded by indicating they
are not able to ascertain what impacts it may have on her property value and
confirmed that this installation is well below the limits established in safety code 6
which is Health Canada's human exposure guidelines to radiofrequency
electromagnetic energy.
2.2 Co-location opportunities have been examined
The installation and creation of separate, stand alone, radio communication towers
and broadcasting facilities is discouraged unless all other co-location options have
been explored and are considered unfeasible. The Region of Durham has advised
that there are no suitable towers\structures within their search area.
2.3 Council Resolutions
In May 2011, City Council passed a resolution requesting Industry Canada to
cease consideration of communication towers in any residential area of Pickering
in order to establish criteria for all matters pertaining to land use for the
installation of these towers (see Council Resolution 102/11 —Attachment#7).
This resolution was a response to a number of cell tower installations that were �
erected without municipal and/or public consultation, specifically a proposed
tower installation under 15.0 metres at 1820 Whites Road. The Whites Road
proposal precipitated an earlier Council Resolution in April 2011 requesting that
Industry Canada reverse approval of the tower and amend. its policies to require
municipal consultation on all installations, regardless of height (see Council
Resolution 87/11 —Attachment#8).
The Region has provided confirmation that these proposed installations have
been publicly circulated in accordance with Industry Canada requirements and
the proposals are now before Committee.and Council for consideration. In view
of the public consultation and Council engagement associated with these
proposals, the processing of these applications through this report is not �
considered contrary to Council's Resolutions.
3. Planning Analysis
3.1 Proposed Telecommunication Utility Pole Locations are Acceptable
The Region has indicated that the utility pole height has been minimized as much
as possible, to reduce the visual impact on the neighbouring properties. The
proposed installations will resemble existing utility poles in the neighborhood in
appearance but with a greater height. The typical height of City light standards is
between 7.5 metres to 9.0 metres in height. The proposed communication poles 'i
will have minimal land use conflict with surrounding properties. I

Staff support the installation of these telecommunication poles as they will assist
the Region of Durham in improving their operations, process monitoring, water
delivery and response times in the event of an emergency.

b. Responded January 28,2013
a Comment:
Mr Webster
We live at 580 Eyer Dr. and have reviewed the proposal and the benefits as presented and
accept the proposal as beneficial to the region and the community however, I have one
suggestion that you should consider which I am sure will bring on board more of the local
residents in view of the tower. I suggest you consider changing the pole structure to a
similar type as used in Algonquin park for the recently added cell towers, they look like
the natural landscape of the trees in the area. "A pole that looks like a evergreen tree".
Hope this adds to your options to deal with the objections that will come!
Paul H Gross and Marilynne E Gross
d. Response provided by Fred Webster, Region of Durham:
Good Day Mr. Gross,
This is to acknowledge receipt of your email regarding the proposed communications
pole at 583 Eyer Drive in Pickering.
Thank you for your email and your comments and concerns.
I must apologize for the lateness of my response.
Please know that we acknowledge your comments regarding the appearance of the
proposed communications utility pole and will do our best to address them.
e. Post Communications: We have reviewed and consulted with tower companies
regarding a structure disguised as a tree and have concluded that in an urban
streetscape it would be out of place and the closer one gets the less they look less
like trees. A utility pole will appear more natural in an urban setting.

b. Ms. Surkis address is 590 Eyer Drive,Pickering, ON., 905-831-1234
� c. Summary of comments: .
1)Is concerned that the proposed communications utility pole will reduce her property
value and wants to sell her property.
� 2)Is concerned that the radio frequencies will be hazardous to her health as it is directly
across the street.
3)Would like to know when the pole wil�be installed.
4)Would like the pole installed after the end of the year, as she would like to sell prior to
installation.
d. Response provided by Fred Webster,Region of Durham:
1) Stated that we are unable to ascertain whether or not there will be an effect on
property value.
2) Stated that the proposed installation is designed to be well below Health Canada
Safety Code 6limits. Stated that we will mail a copy of Health Canada Safety Code 6 and
related documents to her for her information.
3) Stated that under the present schedule the proposed installation would likely occur in
early 2014.
�4) Stated that it is very likely that the proposed pole if approved would not be installed
before the end of 2013.
4. Grand Oak PS, 1611 Pepperwood Gate,Pickering,L1X 2K5
a. Received attached letter from Durham District School Board, dated January 31,
2013
b. Fred Webster from the Region of Durham spoke with Ms. Nancekivell and
provided the present schedule for Grand Oaks of early August. Fred will update
her as to schedule changes.
c. Post Communications: The Region will insure access to the school site is not
restricted. To erect the utility pole a large boom truck will be reyuired which will
likely restrict access to the adjacent sidewalk. This truck will be required on a
few different occasions during separate weeks. Ms Nancekivell will be kept
updated and safety precautions will be taken to ensure residents and students are
kept safe and can get safely get around the truck.
If you require any clarification or have any further questions,please do not hesitate to contact me.
