m (i) ADOPTION OF MINUTES
Regular meeting of March 7, 1988.
m(ii) DELEGATIONS
1. Mr. David McWhirter, 1502 Oberon Court, requested Council
mto support Notice of Motion #3 because it is unfair of
Canada Post to place the supermailboxes where they will
detrimentally affect a resident and it is unfair for the
mresidents of Pickering to pay for the tax loss as a
result of the Ontario Municipal Board decision.
2. Mr. Murray Chusid, representing Pickering Square 1986
minc., stated that with respect to the proposed commercial
site at the northeast corner of Valley Farm Road and
Kingston Road, the staff does not support special purpose
mor general retail uses, however, a market study has
proven that these uses are viable. Traffic from the
commercial site would have no adverse impact on Valley
Farm Road or Kingston Road. He stated that he would
mrecommend to his client that the be allowed
public
input
to the site plans for the commercial site.
m3. Dr. Mofeed Michael, representing the Durham Housing
Corporation, stated that he supports the recommendations
of the Executive Committee regarding the commercial site
at Valley Farm Road and Kingston Road because it will
provide for the development of non-profit housing to the
north. He reviewed the mandate of the Durham Housing
Corporation and gave examples of well-maintained
mdevelopments in Oshawa.
4. Mr. Paul Woodcroft, representing the Adhod Association,
mstated that he supports the proposal for non-profit
housing. It will provide proper housing for handicapped
and low income people and he stated that the Durham
Housing Corporation builds quality projects which allow
m the disadvantaged to live in dignity.

(II) DELEGATIONS- (continued)
5. Rev. Ian Gray, representing the Social Planning Council
and the Ajax-Picketing Ministerial Association, stated
that the management of Durham Non-Profit Housing has been
competent and there is no documentation to support the
fact that property values of abutting lands are lowered
because of such projects. Non-profit housing will
enhance the quality of life in the community because it
will provide for a greater cross section of people and
will provide a pool of workers for new industries. At
present, there is no control over illegal basement
apartments and non-profit housing will help to alleviate
this problem.
6. Mrs. Barbara Black stated that she has been resident of
a
Pickering for the past 26 years and can sympathize with
the residents who have been opposing the non-profit
housing because they are being asked to compromise. She
felt that basement apartments proliferate because of a
lack of subsidized housing.
7. Mary Stinson, Co-ordinator of the Food Bank, stated that
the Food Bank started in January of 1988 and already
there are 70 families in Ajax and Pickering that rely on
this service. For many of these families, their rental
costs are taking more than 60% of their income.
8. Mr. George Clement, 1907 Valley Farm Road, stated that
basement apartments have been a part of the community for
many years and statistics show that they are no more
hazardous than any other type of dwelling unit. He
stated that priority will be given to needy residents in
the Region of Durham and not specifically in Picketing.
He was concerned that future residents in the non-profit
housing could be affected by the electromagnetic fields
in the hydro right-of-way.
9. Mr. Rod Mason, 1748 Finch Avenue, stated that Scarborough
has permitted strip development over the years and now
realizes the problems this type of development causes.
The Tridel development will provide a support for the
Town Centre and because of this, no further strip
commercial development is required Although the Town
does require affordable housing it should not be at the
expense of further commercial strip plazas. He stated
that he was in favour of office uses on the subject lands
but not retail uses.
10. Mr. Steve Tichener, representing the Glengrove Community
Association, stated that he opposes the Official Plan
amendment application to allow commercial uses at the
northeast corner of Valley Farm Road
and
Kingston
Road.
He stated that the developer is using the non-profit
housing issue to secure a commercial use at this
location. The proposed non-profit housing will not
el imi nate basement apartments because there i s no
guarantee that Pickering residents will get priority to
live in this project. By allowing half of the property
to be used for commercial purposes, the Town is cutting
back on the amount of land available for affordable
housing. He was concerned that the Pickering Square
Plaza was rezoned after it was built to allow further
commercial uses and that the same situation could occur
at this proposed plaza. He stated that if Council
approves the application to permit commercial uses at the
northeast corner of Valley Farm Road and Kingston Road,
the zoning by-law will be referred to the Ontario
Municipal Board and this delay could jeopardize the
non-profit housing statement.
m
9/88
(II) DELEGATIONS- (continued)
m 11. Mr. George Martin, representing the Greenwood and Area
Ratepayers Association, stated that he supports the
estate residential policy because the area in and around
Greenwood is environmentally sensitive and controls are
needed. He felt that the restriction to limit estate
residential housing to approximately 1% of the total
housing stock is too ambiguous and is open to a wide
interpretation. Estate residential lots should be two
acres in size in order to properly accommodate a weeping
m bed and an alternate weeping bed. Estate residential
development should be constructed on an internal road in
order to alleviate strip residential development on rural
roads. The policy should be amended to state that estate
m residential development shall take place on lands with a
low agricultural use or capability. Mr. Martin stated
that estate development should be strictly limited
m because it puts demands on the farming community and the
Town to provide urban services.
m 12. Mr. Don Given, representing Bill Brown, stated that he
supports the estate residential policy with the exception
that the policy should have some flexibility to allow
houses to front on existing roads where to do otherwise
m the landscape may be damaged. He stated that each
application for estate residential development should be
judged on its merits wi th no reference to the 1%
m restriction or a prohibition to construct houses on
existing roads.

That Whereas the Corporation of the Town of Pickering entered into
an agreement dated February 1970 with Metropolitan Toronto
respecting the operation of the Brock West Landfill Site; and
Whereas the agreement stipulates that Metropolitan Toronto shall
create eight foot cells to be covered daily with a final finished
cover of a minimum of four feet of soil; and

foot cells have been created with an advance face of one foot of
soil cover and two feet of soil cover on top of the cells and a
final soil cover of four feet when an area reaches its final
contour; and
Whereas on January 1, 1988 and January 9, 1988, P.A.C.T. witnessed
