EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Planning Committee, at its meeting of No\ ember 20, ?!(;1. rot'on'od Report Number PD 42-01 to thc Januao, 21,2002 Council mooting xvittn direction to staff to pro\ldo a report with an alternate xersion of the staff recommendcd amendment and de\ elopmcnt gLiidelines, showing the deletion offal, a sub-area within Precinct A Xlarina Nlixcd Used Area. This sub-area would pe~it the introduction of residential uses subject to conditions. Ft~rther-. staff was directed to review the suggested changes to Amendment O ~o the Picketing Official Plan provided bx Mr. Stanlov B. Stein, on behalf of the Picketing H arbour Company. Addendum to Report PD 42-01 Subject: Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review - Report & OPA 01-001/P (City-initiated) Date: January 9, _00, Page 3 Accordingly, policy t 1.5 (13 (ii) of Amendment 6 to the Picketing Official Plan, which identified the sub-area has been deleted and clause C1.3.3 -- Marina Mixed Use Area of the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines has been revised to delete the reference to residential uses. The revised and complete documents are contained in Appendix B and C, respectively. Staff, after reviewing the changes suggested by Mr. Stanley B. Stein, is recommending two revisions to Amendnqent 6. Firstly, the design criteria for retail convertibility of residential units previously discussed in Report Number 42-01 are added to policy 11.5 (h) (ii). In this way, the policy reinforces the objectives of the Waterfront Node for mixed uses along Liverpool Road and provides definite and specific requirements to landowners pursuing residential development along Liverpool Road. Secondly, the requirement for proponents to enter into agreements with the City or Region respecting the provision of infrastructure as a condition of rezoning is clarified by rewording policy 11.5 (m) to include the use of holding provisions within zoning by-laws as a means of requiring agreements. This is consistent with the policies of the Official Plan relating to the use of the holding symbol when servicing agreements are required or when infrastructure is not yet adequate to support the proposed use. Related changes to the Development Guidelines are also recommended (see Appendix A). Staff also recommends that Addendum to Report Number PD 42-01 be forwarded to the City's Waterfront Coordinating Committee, the Region of Durham, and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. BACKGROUND: 1.0 Planning Committee On November 26, 2001, Planning Committee considered Planning & Development Report PD 42-01. Report PD 42-01 recommended that the Picketing City Council: · receive the background reports entitled Liverpool Road Soll[h Area Detailed Review - Part 2-Phase 1 and Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review - Part 2-Phase 2; · approve new policies to the Pickering Official Plan to implement the findings of the background reports; · adopt the revised Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines; and · adopt other measures to implement the objectives for the Liverpool Road South Area. At the meeting, a number of deputations were heard (see Attachment #1). Mr. StanleyB. Stein, of Osler Hoskin & Harcourt acting on behalf of the Picketing Harbour. Company, suggested changes to Amendment 6 to the Pickering Official Plan (see Attachment #2). Mr. David Steele advised Committee that PACT members were not provided sufficient opportunity to review the Planning Report and requested that a letter from Mr. Philip B. McMullen, on behalf of PACT, be provided to Committee for consideration. Committee referred Report PD 42-01 to the January 21, 2002 Council meeting with direction to staff to provide a report with an alternate version of the staff recommended amendment and development guidelines showing the deletion of Al, a sub-area within Precinct A - Marina Mixed Use Area contained in the Planning Report. This sub-area ~vould permit the introduction of residential uses subject to conditions. Also, Committee requested that staff review the changes suggested by Mr. Stein and to report back. The purpose of this addendum report is threefold: Addendum to Report PD 42-01 Subject: Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Reviexx Report & ePA 01-001/P (City-initiated I Date: January 9, 2002 Page 4 2.0 · to provide an alternate version of Amendment O to the Picketing Official Plan and to tile Liverpool Road \Vatcrfront Dexclopment Ouidclincs which implement Committee's direction to delete sub-area · to review the changes suggested by Mr. Stanlcx g.

Also, a number of revisions to thc \VatcrfFont Developinent Couidelines pertmning to land use precincts, policies and minor refoi-matting of t:igures arc i"equir'ed to reflect Council's direction. Policy 11.5 (g {ii) as contained in Aincndment 6 to the Pie\erin50f`tlcial Plan is deleted and C1.3.3 and Figure A of' the Liverpool Road \Varec'front Node Development Guidelines is revised (see Appendices B and C). 3.2 Other Revisions to Amendment 6 to the Pickerin,, Official Plan Addendum to Report PD 42-01 Subject: Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review Report & OPA 01-001/P (City-initiated) Date: JanualT 9, 2002 Page 5 After careful review of the changes suggested by Mr. Stein, on behalf of the Pickering Harbour Company, staff is recommending two revisions to Amendment (see Attachment # 1 ). The first revision pertains to policy 11.5 (h) (ii), adding the design criteria for residential buildings within the Liverpool Road Corridor so that the ground floor can be casilv converted in the future for office, personal service and retail uses. By accommodating the design requirements at the time of initial construction, mainly interior changes to the building would be required to accommodate non-residential uses. The key criteria, contained in PD 42-01, included: · roughed-in xvashroom facilities that meet barrier-free standards for the commercial component; fire alarm, if the building is four storeys including basement; 1 hour fire separation between residential and commercial occupancy; 100 psfdesign floor load for commercial use; separate mechanical.systems to scr¥ice thc ground floor; separate exits to the exterior for each use; and emergency lighting in an enclosed exit. As well, there were other desigm elements, not part of the Ontario Building Code, which are essential in supporting the distinction between solely residential and the potential for future commercial uses. These elements included higher ceilings, kitchens and dining facilities on the second or third floor, doors generally at-grade access, and special attention to window/door openings, which would make the buildings more readily adaptable to future commercial uses. Additional wording pertaining to retail convertibility is provided to C1.4.4 of the Waterfront Node Development Guidelines. The revised policy reinforces the objectives of the Waterfront Node for mixed uses along Liverpool Road and provides definite and specific requirements to landowners pursing residential development along Liverpool Road. It is recommended that policy 11.5 (h) (ii) as contained in Amendment 6 to the Picketing Official Plan be revised to include the clause detailed in the Recommendation section of this Report, and be approved. The clause also appears in Appendix B to this Report. Further, it is recommended that section C1.4.4 of the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines be revised to incorporate complementary amendments, and be adopted (see Appendix A). These amendments also appear in Appendix C to this Report. The second policy revision pertains to policy 11.5 (m). Technically, conditions cannot be applied to the approval of zoning by-laws; however, agreements can be entered into respecting the provision of infrastructure to support the proposed uses through the use of holding provisions within zoning by-laws. Policy 15.16 (a) of the Pickering Official Plan specifies that when certain conditions of development have not yet been determined, or where certain conditions of development have not been met such as, but limited to, development or servicing agreements with thc City or Region, holding symbols can be used. All the conditions must be satisfied prior to its removal and the coming into force of the uses permitted under the rezoning. The use of holding provisions is consistent with the policies of the Official Plan and is commonly used by the City to ensure its interests are protected.

This should be accomplished through features such as front porches, high quality landscaping of front yards, large windows on the ground floor, and signage of an appropriate character. All architectural design must be of a high quality. Methodologies that include various design elements for reducing the bulk of a building's appearance should be developed as part of the architectural design. Enhanced flankage elevations will be required for corner lots. The materials, rooflines, design elements and details of new buildings should harmonize with the Great Lakes Nautical Village theme. The design of buildings directly adjacent to the street will be an important part of the creation of a cohesive design theme for the streets in the area. A continuous street wall (occasionally interrupted to maintain views of the Bay), is ideal for this kind of street treatment. Buildings along Liverpool Road shall be built close to the street without too much variation in setbacks. This form will help to provide containment to the street. Ample fenestration- on the front face of buildings will assist in creating a safe, inviting environment along the street. Buildings along Liverpool Road must be designed in a manner such that they can accommodate a range of uses over time. Ground-level rooms at the front of buildings will be highly visible, feature ample fenestration, and be easily accessible from the street. These ground-level rooms must be constructed to the appropriate Building and Fire Code standards for easy conversion to accommodate a range of commercial-type uses. The key requirements, which would be required at the time of initial construction, include: roughed-in washroom facilities that meet' barrier-free standards for the commercial component; fire alarm, if the building is four storeys including basement; 1 hour fire separation between residential and commercial occupancy; 1 O0 psf design floor load for commercial use: separate mechanical systems to service the ground floor; separate exits to the exterior for each use; and emergency lighting in an enclosed exit. Other upgrades may be applicable depending on the proposed design, extent of construction and scope of commercial use. In addition, the design of the residential units would incorporate such elements as higher ceilings, kitchens and dining facilities on the second or third floor, doors generally at-grade access, and special attention to window/door openings, which would make the buildings more readily adaptable to future commercial uses. Further, the exteriors would also reflect the Great Lakes Nautical Village theme by incorporating design details such as balconies, decks, covered entrances, pedestrian scale doorways, awnings and window boxes. Front balconies are encouraged to be as deep as possible to allow for covered patios for future storefront~. Signage for any businesses Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Deve~opme,, Guidelines (JanuarY, 2002) located here must be discreetiy located and consistent w~th the architectural theme of the building. The design of the public ngint-of-wa}' between tile curb edge and private property is considered to be critical to tile successfui development of this area. Special attention will be given to developing a coheslx, e ,,$~,~-, t ~ streetscape treatment that can be applied to private development and the public realm througinout the corridor. The streetscape treatment will include paving material, lighting, signposts and street furniture (seating, waste receptacles and drinking fountains), which will be located in distinct areas adiacent to the sidewalk for easy pedestrian Frenchman's Bay ~---- - access. ~00 rn Figure E - Build-t0 Zones I~ydro Marsh To foster varieW and interest along tine street, new development sinouid be freehold tenure, or a form of condominium that cannot place restnctions on the commercial uses encouraged for the area. Detailed streetscape guidelines are included in Appendix A- "Detailed Architectural, Landscape and Streetscape Guidelines". C1.4.5 Fa_2Eport Village The Fairport Village area once featured a vanet~' of small comn~ercial operations that offered goods and services to the local residents. Provided the character of the area is not affected, it is desirable to reintroduce this type of activity' ~ltn~n the Village on a limited basis. If a lar]downer wishes to incorporate uses suctn as tea rooms, craft shops, art studios, and professional offices within a dwelling, site-specific rezoning applications will be required.

The amendment affects lands xvithin the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node, which includes lands on both sides of Commerce Street, extending west to Frenchman's Bay and south to the Lake Ontario shoreline, along both sides of Liverpool Road, and east to the Hydro Marsh, in the Bay Ridges Neighbourhood of the City of Pickcring. This amendment to the Pickering Official Plan has been determined to be appropriate following the completion of the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review in the fall of 2001. Main conclusions from the Review include, that: a marina mixed use area, along the water's edge, shall be the primary, area for marina and marina-support uses; a complementary Liverpool Road Corridor shall accommodate tourist and service commercial uses; and the City shall pursue acquisition of lands for additional public parking within the Waterfront Node. The recommended guiding vision for the Waterfront Node is that of a "Great Lakes Nautical Village" with a mix of uses, high quality building design, and an inviting ambiance. The nature of the Village will be geared toward pedestrian comfort, including street amenities. ACTUAL AMENDMENT: The Pickering Official Plan is hereby amended by: Amending Schedule I- Land Use Structure by redesignating lands on the south side of Annland Street west of Liverpool Road and lands on the east side of Liverpool Road generally south of Wharf Street from "Urban Residential Areas - Low Density Residential" to "Open Space System - Marina Areas", as illustrated on Schedule 'A' attached to this Amendment; Amending Schedule III - Resource Management to reflect new mapping of the provincially significant Hydro Marsh wetland as illustrated on Schedule 'B' attached to this proposed Amendment; and 3.

Bay Ridges lies on tt~e east side of Frenchman's Bay. Highway 401 is ti~e neighbourhood's northern limit, and Lake Ontario is its southern limit. The Liverpool Road Waterfront Node extends from the tots on the north side of Commerce Street southerly to Lake Ontario along both sides of Liverpool Road. It extends west to include all of the properties t3aving access to, and exposure to, Frenchman's Bay, including the water lots under the Bay. The Node includes the historic "Village of Fairport". Krosno Creek abuts the east edge of the Node. Further east is Alex Robertson Park, Sandy Beach Road, and the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. To the south is Lake Ontario. To the west lies Frenchman's Bay, and further west is tile West Shore Neighbourhood. To the north lies a mixture of old cottage style development, as well as newer 1950's and 1960's subdivision development. A commercial area serving lite Neighbourhood is located about a half a kilometer to the north at tt~e intersection of Krosno Boulevard and Liverpool Road. The Node's history is closely linked with its waterfront location. Over- the years, numerous marinas, boat storage, and marine service businesses have operated in tt~e area, and a number continue to operate. A sewage pumping station operates on the east side of Liverpool Road. Additionally, the Node offers opportunities for formal and informal recreational activities with natural open space, park areas, and trails. At the time of adoption of these Guidelines, it was realized that some parts of the area exhibit a somewhat unkempt, or disused appearance, while others exhibit extreme attention to detail, design and maintenance. Investment and attention by municipal, other government and non-government organizations, by individuals, and by private landowners, residents and business operators, will help polist~ this "diamond in the rougt~" C1.2 Guiding Vision - "Great Lakes Nautical Village" The guiding vision for the entire Node is that of a "Great Lakes Nautical Village" with a mix of uses and an ambiance that is inviting. The Village should be an interesting place to live, work, and visit. Recognizing Frenchman's Ba,v as a boating tourism area, the Nautical Village will provide seasonal marina facilities witi~ some opportunities for visiting boaters. Additional land-based recreation and tourism opportunities will bring visitors from the local area interested in spending a few hours to most of a day in 1he area. The nature of the Village will be geared toward pedestrian comfort, including street amenities. The character of the Great Lakes Nautical Villag~ will be establisJ~ed by its series of small blocks witi~ frequent and regular views out to the water. Tt3e streets will form view corridors Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Deveiopmer~t Guidelines (January, 2002) Page 2 and act as public open space. -Xn added benefit oftn~s form of development is that from Frenci~man's Bay, tile Great Lake~ Nautical \ ~[lage NNiJ] be permeated by view corridors, rather than being a continuous wall of buildlnfq>. A well connected network of public open spd~e and simets, whicin exhibit a high level of streetscape design and quality, furti~er reinforces tho character of the Village. Tile streets will provide pedestrian-friendly spaces. Due t() the proximity of the Bay and li~e relat~velx intense marina uses established in tt~is area, the entire neiBhbouri~ood nas been infJuen(:e(J i)x a "nauticul heritage". 1 he existing marinas have provided a focal point and ke~ character-setting e~ement for many years; the continuation of manna uses ~n these areas will persist as a kev character-setting element of the Village. Accordingly, lands adjacent to the Bay, K~osno Creek and Hydro Marsh will feature a variety of marine-related activities, and in some ~nstances public amenities. In addition to the marine-related activities, the Village %%ill offer u ~arlety of other uses that: provide opportunities for people to live, work, sh~}p and pla~ ~ithin the area. These additional uses include residential development suSject t(.~ certain restrictions, retail operations like craft stores, boutiques and booksi~up~, as ~eli as other uses such as restaurants, art studios, and offices.

The mix of uses will relate to the area's nautical heritage, and the mix may vary depending on the location of tt~e lands within the area. This area is the primary marina area. Throughout the area, permissible uses consist of: marinas, yacht clubs, mooring facilities, and ancillary facilities; marina-supportive uses and facilities; restaurants, limited retail; public open space; and community, cultural and recreational uses.

Development along Liverpool Road will achieve a high level of design and architectural quality, featuring a vibrant pedestrian environment. This area represents the tourism and service commercial uses that complement tile marina, recreation and waterfront trail uses within the Waterfront Node. Residential uses within the Liverpool Road Corridor will be permitted provided that a significant public benefit is provided. To qualify as a significant benefit for residential development, the ground floor of the residential units fronting on Liverpool Road must be designed and constructed in such a way that the ground floor can be easily converted in the future to accommodate a range of uses. Over time, the area will offer a mix of uses including residential, commercial, retail, and office, which contribute to an inviting public realm at street level. C1.3.5 Public Use/Parking and Boat Storage Area This area includes the City's parking lot, and lands directly east of the City's parking lot on the 'Coolwater Farms' property (currently proposed for off-season boat storage), the Region of Durham's sewage pumping station and the lands currently owned by Ontario Power Generation located behind the 'Hilts' property. These lands represent an area where the City is investigating the opportunity for additional public parking facilities, alone or in partnership with other landowners.

This section of the Development Guidelines follows from the discussion on the "Great Lakes Nautical Village" vision, and applies the Official Plan's design "tools" to the Waterfront Node. This direction includes such matters as placement of new streets, massing and siting of buildings, and streetscape design. Detailed design matters, such as architectural themes, landscaping, and design of public roads and trails, are discussed in Appendix A - "Detailed Architectural, Landscape and Streetscape Guidelines". C1.4.1 Views and Vistas Currently, there are open views to Frenchman's Bay from Liverpool Road, south of Wharf Street, which provide a sense of place to the waterfront location. Views such as these are considered to be of primary importance to the establishment and preservation of a sense of place. These views create the unique atmosphere of the area, and help define ti~e vision for the Node. To preserve, enhance and maximize opportunities for views from the area towards Frenchman's Bay and Lake Ontario, is of primary importance and shall be a key consideration in the review of any development proposal. Of utmost importance is the need to protect views, and frame view corridors, at frequent intervals along Liverpool Road to Frenchman's Bay. The views and vistas conceptualized in the following drawing will help to maintain this area's link to the waterfront as well as protect and enhance Liverpool Road South's unique sense of place.

Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines (January, 2002) Page 9 C1.4.4 Built Form New buildings stnould be designed to be welcoming and friendly to pedestrians. This should be accomplished through features such as front porches, high quality landscaping of front yards, large windows on ttne ground floor, and signage of an appropriate character. All architectural design must be of a high quality. Metlnodologies that include various design elements for reducing tine bulk of a building's appearance should be developed as part of the architectural design. Enhanced flankage elevations will be required for corner lots. The materials, rooflines, design elements and details of new buildings should harmonize with the Great Lakes Nautical Village theme. The design of buildings directly adjacent to the street will be an important part of the creation of a cohesive design tlneme for the streets in the area. A continuous street wall (occasionally interrupted to maintain views of the Bay), is ideal for this kind of street treatment. Buildings along Liverpool Road shall be built close to the street without too much variation in setbacks. This form will help to provide containment to the street. Ample fenestration on the front face of buildings will assist in creating a safe, inviting environment along tine street. Buildings along Liverpool Road must be designed in a manner such that they can accommodate a range of uses over time. Ground-level rooms at the front of buildings will be highly visible, feature ample fenestration, and be easily accessible from the street. These ground-level rooms must be constructed to the appropriate Building and Fire Code standards for easy conversion to accommodate a range of commercial-type uses. Fhe key requirements, which would be required at the time of initial construction, include: roughed-in washroom facilities that meet barrier-free standards for the commercial component; fire alarm, if the building is four storeys including basement; 1 hour fire separation between residential and commercial occupancy; 1 O0 psf design floor load for commercial use: separate mechanical systems to service the ground floor; separate exits to the exterior for each use; and emergency lighting in an enclosed exit. Other upgrades may be applicable depending on the proposed design, extent of construction and scope of commercial use. In addition, ~he design of the residential units would incorporate such elements as higher ceilings, kitchens and dining facilities on the second or third floor, doors generally at-grade access, and special attention to window/door openings, which would make the buildings more readily adaptable to future commercial uses. Further, the exteriors would also reflect the Great Lakes Nautical Village theme by incorporating design details such as balconies, decks, covered entrances, pedestrian scale doorways, awnings and window boxes. Front balconies are encouraged ~o be as deep as possible to allow for covered patios for furore s~orefronts.

Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines (January, 2002) Page 11 Matters that will be considered in the review of the applications include: the availability of off- and on-street parking; that minor or no exterior renovations are required; and tt~at signage is discretely accommodated. C1.5 Parking Strategies Creative parking arrangements, not previously employed in Pickering, are required for this area. Opportunities for parking include: · securing additional lands on tile Coolwater Farms property for public parking at the foot of Liverpool Road; requiring that ali new residential development provide appropriate off-street parking; · permitting on-street parking on one side of Liverpool Road north of Wharf Street, on one side of other streets north of Wharf Street, on both sides of Liverpool Road south of Wharf Street, and one side of any new east-west streets south of Wharf Street; · consider permitting commercial parking lots and off-site parking under long-term leases; · consider accepting cash-in-lieu of parking in this area, particularly for the small-scale commercial developments anticipated along Liverpool and in Fairport Village; · encouraging Sandy Beach Road as an alternative access route and overflow parking destination; · accommodating event parking at nearby schools and the GO station; and · exploring opportunities to partner with Ontario Power Generation on additional parking behind the 'Hilts' lands. C1.6 Environmental Management Development proposals within the Node must management policies of the Pickering Official Plan. interest: comply with all relevant resource The following matters are of particular · no development or filling should be permitted within the Hydro Marsh; · Environmental Reports are required for development proposed within 120 metres of the Hydro Marsh wetland boundary to determine appropriate development limits and edge management strategies; · proposals for bay-filling should be designed to ensure tile protection of the aquatic environment along the shoreline (including fish habitat); proposals must be accompanied by extensive Environmental Impact Statements, and be subject to all relevant approvals; · additional progress should be made on the "Frenchman's Bay Watershed Management Strategy" (preliminary report received by Council in 1998); · the impacts of boating activities on the natural environment should be considered in the review of any new docking facilities; · on-going initiatives for the restoration of Kresno Creek, Hydro Marsh and Frenchman's Bay should be continued; and · opportunities to outfit all storm sewers that outlet to Frenchman's Bay with oil/grit separators should be pursued.

The Area represents a complex mix of landscape components - buildings, public spaces and street networks that t~as developed over time in response to this intimate geographical relationship. These landscape components include the side streets that run east and west from Liverpool Road, the t~istoric Village of Fairport, the proposed Front Street Park, the Millennium Trail and Square, the active marine nodes and vacant open space. Liverpool Road links these landscape components togetl~er and is itself, an important landscape component. In order to reinforce and capitalize on the Area's unique natural setting and marine association, a conceptual design theme has been generated to guide future development within the Study Area. Detailed design guidelines have been prepared to operationalize the theme, ensuring that ali development initiatives, whether restoration and/or new construction, result in a complementary and consistent built form. Opportunities to apply the design theme and guidelines to different landscape components throughout the Study Area have been proposed for the following 'Design Precincts': Liver ~ool Road Liver ]ool Road Liver ]ool Road Liver ~ool Road Liverpool Road Liver ~ool Road Liverpool Road Liverpool Road Side Streets and Bayly Street intersection and Krosno Street intersection and Commerce Street intersection and Annland Street intersection between Bayly and Krosno Streets between Krosno and Commerce Streets between Commerce and Wharf Streets between Wharf Street and the Bridge Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Deveiosmer~; G_ ae~ nes ._a,',uor.~' 2002) 114,- Page 15 Due to the proximity of the Bay and the reJatJvels ~ntenxj marina use established in this area, the entire nel~ghbourhood has been influenced by a 'nuut~c:ai heritage'.

CTION 'IO t]()L 5INt5 DEVLi_()P'qEN I PRES[/NT,.VI'ION [)(DC vision for the lands south of Wharf Street on either side of Liverpool Road, a vision which has been accepted and acted upon by this council. Tiffs vision includes the development of the lands abutting Liverpool Road between Wharf Street and the lakeshore as a "tourism node". Much thought and effort was put into this report, and the details of the vision. This included retaiL/commercial uses for all of the properties immediately abutting Liverpool Road; expansion of the marina uses on the lands to the ~vest of Liverpool Road; the use of lands to the east of Liverpool Road as parking for thc visiting tourists; and the stopping up of Liverpool Road to the north of the bridge to enhance the appearance of the actual beachfront In the time since the publication of the 2001 Waterfront Task Force's final Report, this council has expended considerable effort, and expense, in beginning the moves to implement the vision. Liverpool Road now ends before the bridge, with a turning circle; parking is available north of the bridge on the east side of Liverpool Road; a boardwalk has been constructed along the beach east to connect with the Alex Robertson Park; a children's play area, the "nfisting pool", has been constructed with change rooms and other necessary facilities. As stated in the 2001 Waterfront Task Force's report, people come to the south end of Liverpool Road, as indeed to all waterfront areas, to enjoy the vistas; to feel the lake breezes on their faces; to sec the boats; and to browse in marine-related or arts-type retail outlets. The steps taken to date by this council are those essential to direct the development such that our children, grandchildren and their grandchildren will continue to have access to the waterfront for all the reasons spoken to above. However, the first application before tlfis council will dam up the process, covering the land with terraces of condominium townhouses which xvill block the public view of the vistas; ensure that the public cannot get near enough to the water's edge to t'eel the lake breezes; and chase away the boaters whose boats the public came to see. The application before this council is, we submit, so much at variance xvith the vision espoused for the area that it must be refused, it takes little or no imagination to foresee a "third phase" of the development, the elimination of all marina uses along the shore of the bay, and the development of more residential units with water frontage - obviously at a premium. Even without the potential third phase, the development as proposed will in and of itself form a psychological barrier to the public. As envisioned by the 2001 Waterfront Task Force, the public would access the area either through walkways between conm~ercial/retail uses, or through the marina lands. As proposed, access would be through a residential area, with no view of the lake or bay from most of the development. This will cause people to stay away; go some other place where the access is more "tourism friendly". As proposed, there would be a maximum of eight "business" uses included in the twenty six residential properties fronting on to the west side of Liverpool Road. These units are shown as 589 square feet each, less allowance for a washroom, leaving a net useable space of approximately 565 square feet, for a total of 4,520 square feet between the eight uits. Even the draft plans submitted in support of the application, and the written material accompanying those plans, describes the potential uses as "home office", not retail. The proponent also indicates an intention to develop some 16,000 square feet of commercial/retail space on thc Coolwater Farms lands at some C:\WINNTLPROFILES~CLR\LOCALS-I\TEMP\OBJECTION TO HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION.DOC 2 time in the Future, thereby, they posit, meeting the iHtent of the V%'aterfront rFask Force vision For tile area. This is simply not so, the proposed development not only being "out of sight and out oflnind" in terms of tourist attraction, but it also takes away i¥Olll tile already limited availability of winter boat storage in the proposal, tl~erebv almost inevitably leading to the "phase three" of the development spoken to above. As envisioned by the 2t9(/1 \Vaterfl'ont Task Force, ex'cO' property facing onto the west side of Liverpool Road would be retail commercial: services. \X'e concur with this uscage. \Ve xvould point to the successful development on Kingston Road at Altona Road for a vision of what can be done to integrate residential and retail,, commercial spaces. In that development, the main Cioor and basement are retail/commercial (and include a restaurant, pub). The residential component sits above and behind the retail/commercial component, with access from the rear. This removes the feeling that the tourist/customer is walking into SOll/~2olle's "froltt I'OOIll" which would prevail under the proponent's plan. In addition, the proponent she\rs no parking on Liverpool Road in front of it's "business" locations, thereby decreasing tile attraction to members of the public. We submit that it is essential to the fen?term growth of the City of Pickering that this application be refused. Pemaitting the development as Droposed will sound the death knell for tourism iii this area. As stated in the 2001XVatcrlTont Task Force's report, the Frenchman's Bay watertkont is the last major wateriTont bet\\cch Bronte aiTd Kingston to remain substantially undeveloped. Thc report states that tourism is an "engine" driving thc economy, worth m excess of $300 million to the Durham t~cgion, Iittle el'x\ taicta conaos to Picketing. It states that tourism will pay For itself many times over, financially, culturally and recreationalty, tbstering corporate and public partnerships the benefits of which will extei]d Ikir bore]id thc xvatcrlkont. This council has adopted the 2001 Task Force's report. In short, theref'ore, the advantages to the community in continuing to implement the vision of the 2001 Waterfl'ont Task Force f'ar outxveigh any potential short-tem~ gain obtained as a result of granting the applications. Martin Luther King said that he }lad a dream - well so do tile residents and council of thc City of Picketing, and that dream does not include the over-development of one of the last remaining pieces ofwaterfl'ont on the north shore of Lake Ontario. if there is to be residential development along the Liverpool Road corridor south of Wharf Street, then let it be restricted to a single building depth with retail/commercial at street level and residential above and behind. This would leave the majority of thc lands currently used for marina activities untouched. In addition, if they feel residential development is tile x~ ax' el'the future, the proponent could investigate the possibility of re-zoning the Coolwater Farms property to residential, instead of open p:u ki~!_, boat storage/future commercial. After reviewing tile histoO, of Picketing Harbour Company (Limited), we are also of thc opinion that they do not have the right, as a co~])oration, to develop these lands as proposed. The Company was incorporated by Act of Parliament, 46) ['ic'[. ~'. 67..,t~, to'/~u l~tco~7~o~'a~e the PickerDtg Itarbou~' Compa~ty (I, imitert?. (Assented to April 28. 1877 ).

(Assented to May 23, 1853) This earlier Act limits tl~e powers of the corporation to: "...the ptu-pose of constructing a lqarbour with tt~c necessary piers, C:,WINN'I',PROt:ILES\CLRkLOC:\LS-1 TENIP Ot~JECTION TO ttOkSl'<t5 I-)E\'EI.OPNIENT PRESITN'I',,\TION,DOC 3 ATTACH.U.E~','."f #_ -.2TO wharves, store-houses, mid planked and other roads therewith to be connected at Frenchman's Bay." The Act further states that: "...nothing herein contained shall extend or be construed to extend to allow the said Company...to purchase more real estate than is absolutely necessary for the purposes for which they are hereby incorporated." The purchase by the Pickering Harbour Company (Limited) of the Coolwater Farms lands clearly violates the terms of the Act of 1853, in that those lands are not "absolutely necessary" for the construction and operation of a harbour. Indeed, it could be argued that, by the very fact of their application to build residential prope~lies on the lands to the west of Liverpool Road, the Company is stating that it has no need for those lands to operate the harbour, and should, by the terms of the Act of 1853, divest itself of those lands. PACT and.BECA have met and spoken with. many members of the general comlnunity in the affected area, and the overall response is the same as set out above. We have an enormous asset in the lands at the foot of Liverpool Road, an asset xvhich must be preserved for future generations, not squandered in poorly thought-out mass development, we ask, therefore, that these applications be denied.

That thc City Clerk be directed to forward a copy of Report Nuhnber PD 42 01 to the City's Waterfront Coordinating Committee, the Region of Durham, and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. ORIGIN: On December 6, 1999, Council passed Resolutions #222/99 and #223/99, which directed staff to commence with the Detailed Review of the Liverpool Road South Area, endorsed a terms of reference for the Detailed Review, and established funding in the budget to undertake the work. AUTHORITY: The Plannmg,4ct, R.S.O. 1990, chapter P.1 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed Official Plan policies: however, the Implementation Strategy identifies various undertakings that will have future direct and indirect (staff time) cost implications for the City. Specific implementation projects and their associated financial implications will be presented to Council for consideration in future budgets. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Planning & Development staff; in consultation with TSH Associates, Markson Borooah Hodgson Architects and TCI Management Consultants Limited, and with public, landowner and agency consultation, has completed a land use, urban design, transportation, and environmental management review of the Liverpool Road South Area. The Review Area generally extends southward from Commerce Street, including both sides of Liverpool Road to Lake Ontario, extending west to Frenchman's Bay and east to the Hydro Marsh. The Detailed Review consisted of two parts: Part 1 focused on background information about the review area, the arrangement of land uses, development guidelines addressing the height and massing and placement of buildings, and an implementation strategy. Part 2 established a "Great Lakes Nautical Village" design theme for the area, as expressed in detailed architectural, landscape and streetscape guidelines. During Part 2, revisions xvere also made to the land use, and corresponding revisions were made to the Development Guidelines. The review was initiated in 1999, as a result of the City receiving two major development applications (Pickering Harbour Company and 794582 Ontario Limited - formerly 'Hilts'), on lands within an area identified as a Detailed Review Area. The Picketing Harbour Company application was subsequently revised to decrease intensity, and reconfigure uses, and propose marina supportive uses on the Coolwater Farms property through another application. All applications were used as input for the Review. The Review' recommends changes to the Picketing Official Plan, adoption of Development Guidelines including complementary implementation matters, and other required Informational Revisions to the Official Plan.

Both sides of Liverpool Road and the historic "Village of Fairport" are included. Existing development in the area includes a mixture of housing, marinas, restaurants, boat storage, marine service, the Region of Durham sewage pumping station, the former Coolwater Farms aquaculture facility, park and natural open space uses (see Location Map - Attachment #1). Detailed Review In July 1999, the City received two major development proposals in the Liverpool Road South Area. One application was submitted by the Pickering Harbour Company (OPA 99-004/P and A 22/99), for the East Shore Marina lands. The other application was sublnitted by 794582 Ontario Limited - Glenbrook Homes Iformcrly G. & A. Hilts] (A 23/99), lbr land on the east side of Liverpool Road, just north of the sewage pumping station. The applications proposed a "marine village" concept consisting of townhomes, boat storage areas, and the potential for marinas, marina-supportive uses, commercial uses, and higher density residential uses. The applications were submitted on lands identified as being within a Detailed Review Area in the Picketing Official Plan. The Plan requires Council to complete a review of land use, urban design, transportation, and environmental management matters, as may be required, fbr the area prior to major development occurring. The submission of thc Picketing Harbour Company and Hilts applications triggered the need for the Detailed Review. 99t Accordingly, Council passed Resolution #181/99 in September 1 :), which directed staff to prepare a terms of reference for a Detailed Review of the area. The resolution also stated that no recommendations were to be forwarded to Council on any major development proposals within the study area until the Detailed Review was completed. In December 1999, Council endorsed a terms of reference fbr the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review. The Planning & Development Department was directed to initiate the study, and funding was established to undertake the work. Three consulting firms were retained by the City to provide professional assistance with marina development, urban design and market analysis. The firms were TSH Associates, Markson Borooah Hodgson Architects and TCI Management Consultants Limited. Key personnel from those firms combined with staff from the Planning & Development Department formed a study team to undertake the Detailed Review. As set out in the terms of reference, the Detailed Review consisted of txvo parts. Part 1 focused on background information about the study area, land use, building mass and placement, and an implementation strategy. Part 2 focused on detailed design matters including the establishment of a "Great Lake Nautical Village" theme for the area. and architectural, streetscape and landscape guidelines. A brief description of the Repons prepared Ibr Parts 1 and 2 is provided in Attachment #2.

Both the recommended amendment and the recommended Development Guidelines address this theme. As described in the Development Guidelines, "the Village should be an interesting place to live, work, and visit. Recognizing Frenchman's Bay as a boating tourism area. the Nautical Village would provide seasonal marina facilities with visiting boaters. Additional land-based recreation and tourism opportunities xvill bring visitors from the local area interested in spending a few hours to most of the day m the area. The nature of the Village will be geared toward pedestrian comfort, including street amenities." The Development Guidelines continue noting that "thc character of the Great Lakes Nautical Village will be established by its series of small blocks with frequent and regular vie~vs out to the water. The streets will form view corridors and act as public open space. A well-connected network of public open space and streets, which exhibit a high level of streetscape design and quality, further reinforces the character of the Village. The streets will provide pedestrian-friendly spaces." Further, the guiding vision for the Nautical Village states that the "existing marinas have provided a focal point and key character-setting element for many years; the continuation of marina uses in these areas will persist as a key character-setting element of the Village" and in addition to the marine-related activities, "the Village will offer a variety of other uses that provide opportunities for people to live, work, shop and play within the ama. These additional uses include residential development subject to certain restrictions, retail operations like craft stores, boutiques and bookshops, as well as other uses such as restaurants, art studios, and offices." Recommended Land Use Concept The recommended amendments to the Pickering Official Plan and complementary Development Guidelines, establish a land use and design framework that sets lands aside for marina and marina support uses, identifies lands for tourism and service commercial, recognizes the City's interest in securing additional lands for public parking south of Wharf Street, and identifies selected opportunities for new residential development subject to significant public benefits being achieved. In developing the land use concept, consideration has been given to the issues that have been raised by members of the public, landowners/developers and agencies through the consultation sessions held as part of the Detailed Review, the statutory public information meeting on the City-initiated Official Plan Amendment, and the comments received on the site-specific development proposals. To discuss the land use concept, Figure 1 presented on the next page shows 5 land use precincts.

Report to Council PD 42-01 Subject: Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review Final Report 8: OPA 01-001/P (City-initiated) Date: November 20, 2001 Page 8 3.1.2 ResidentialUses In Figure 1, a sub-area within Precinct A is shaded and identified as A-1. Tile recommended amendment identifies sub-area A-1 as an area wherein Council may consider the introduction of residential uses subject to conditions. The recommended conditions include Council being satisfied that: a functional marina operation can be maintained on remaining lands; appropriate operating conditions and infrastructure is in place for a functional marina: a significant public benefit is provided as part of thc redevelopment project; and other applicable policies and Guidelines are complied with. The recommended policy identifies, as a minimum, the provision of publicly-accessible space at the ~vater's edge of Frenchman's Bay to qualify' as a significant public benefit residential redevelopment within sub-area A-1. For lands designated Marina Areas, the current Official Plan policy only permits "limited residential uses in conjunction with a marina". This restrictive approach is replaced in the proposed amendment with an approach that is still restrictive, but specifies revised criteria that a landowner must meet in order to establish residential uses. Further, the recommended amendment establishes the maximum density for residential as 55 units per net hectare. The inclusion of residential as a possible use within the Waterfront Node introduces the option fbr a greater mixing of uses, creating more vibrancy, more ~eyes on tile street', and opportunities for activity at different times of the day. In addition, there are opportunities for cross-marketing of new residential uses with modifications to thc marina ~hcilities. Further, the opportunity for residential uses provides an incentive l-bt private investment in the area, if it occurs in a manner that will result in a public benefit in keeping with the Waterfront Node objectives. Precinct B: Liverpool Road Corridor Tourism and Service Commercial Uses Precinct B, (see Figure 1), is the Liverpool Road Corridor. Precinct B represents an area for tourism and service commercial uses that complement the marina, recreational and waterfront trail uses within the Waterfront Node. The lands within this Precinct are currently designated Open Space Areas Marina Areas and Urban Residential Areas - Low DensiO~ Residential. The amendment to the Official Plan recommends that the Low Density Residential lands (fronting thc west side of Liverpool Road, north of Wharf Street, and fronting the cast side of Liverpool Road, south of Wharf Street), be redesignated to Marina Areas. Further, thc amendment recommends new neighbourhood policies be added to the Plan identifying that retail, office and personal service uses to serve the tourist, recreational and other community needs be permissible within the lands abutting Liverpool Road. Given the prominence of Precinct B lands, the recommended amendment does not permit boat storage adjacent to Liverpool Road. Further, the recommended Development Guidelines require that any off-street parking associated with free-standing office, retail or personal service uses shall be located within a rear or side yard. The recommended Development Guidelines also require buildings to be located close to the street, with a minimum height of two storeys, and designed using a Great Lakes Nautical Village theme. A high quality pedestrian realm, coupled with commercial uses offers a means of achieving a lively pedestrian environment with more amenities tbr both local residents and visitors alike. This adds further opportunity tbr the vitality that comes Report to Council PD 42-01 Subject: Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Rexicx~ Final Report & ePA ()t-(u)I P (City-initiated) Date: November 20, 2001 Page 9 with mixed uses alon- the \Vaterfront Trail. actix c street pedestrian realm, and waterfront public access opportunities. Residential L,{¥es Building on the "village" concept, and in keeping xt ittn tiao benefits that come with mixed uses, thc recommended polio> also permits, subScct to conditions, the introduction of residential uses within Precinct B, along Nvoqoool Road. The recommended conditions arc that Council be satisfied that: a significalu public benefit is provided as pa~ of the redevelopment project throu?~ a requirement that residential dxxelling units along Lix'cq~ool Road be designed and constructed in such a wax that thc ground floor can be easily converted in the t'uturc: and thc development compiles with other applicable policies and Guidelines. $taI'i*s original approach to this issue x~ :is to require 2{11 coi21mcrcial Building and Fire Code compliance in tho ground floors al thc time of initial construction.

The kev requirements which would be required to convert an existing residential building include: · roughed-in xvashroom facilities that meet barricr-I'rec standards tbr the commercial component; · fire alarm, if the building is four storeys includin~ basement: 1 hour fire separation beu~ccn residential and commercial occupancy: 100 psfdesign floor load Ibr commercial usc' separate mechanical systems to service thc ?-ound floor: separate exits to the exterior Ibr each usc: and emergency lighting in an enclosed exit. Other upgrades may be applicable dependin,~ on the proposed design, extent of construction and scope of commercial usc. In addition, tine dost? et'thc residential units would inco~orate such clemcius as higher ceilings, kitchens and dining 2~cilitics on tho second or third floor, doors generally at-grade access, and special attention to window, door openings, xxhich xxould make the buildings more readih' adaptable to 2auto commercial uses. Further, tho exteriors would also rot]oct the Great Lakes Nautical Village theme by incorporatix5 design details such as balconies, decks, covered entrances, pedestrian scale doorxvavs, earnings and xxindox~ boxes. Front balconies are encouraged to be as deep as possible to allow ibr coxcrcd patios Cot i'uturc storetTonts. The recommended policy requires proponents of rczonin~ to enter into dcxclopmont , cements respecting thc provision off such construction I~'aturos to enable easy retail ant conversion. Report to Council PD 42-01 Subject: Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review - Final Report & OPA 01-001/P (City-initiated) Date: November 20, 2001 Page 10 3.1.3 3.1.4 Some comments have suggested thc land use policy not allow residential along Liverpool Road. Staff does not agree with this approach. Not only does residential provide activity along the street, the City's retail market consultant noted there are only limited opportunities for retailing at this end of Liverpool Road. Market opportunities equated to about one to two shops per year. Further, the consultant noted there may be more seasonal than year-round uses. The recommended approach, to permit residential uses with built-in 'retail convertible' ground floors in each unit, prevents a vacant boarded up streetscape. In addition, it maximizes the chances for homeoxvners to establish businesses as they are able and interested, and as market conditions permit and change over time. Precinct C: Public Use/Parking and Boat Storage Area Precinct C, (see Figure l), is an area for new Public Use/Parking and Boat Storage. These lands generally include the City's current parking lot, lands to the east of that lot at the south end of the 'Coolwater Farms' property, the Region of Durham's sexvage pumping station, and the lands currently owned bv Ontario iPower Generation located behind the 'Hilts' property. Precinct C represents an area where the City will pursue public parking facilities, alone or in partnership xvith other landovcners. Private landowners may establish boat storage. A public xvalkway may also be pursued along the western limit ot'this precinct. These uses will complement marina functions, and xvaterfront recreational opportunities associated xvith the Millennium Square, the Waterfront Trail, and the emerging Waterfront Node. Lands within Precinct C are designated as Open Space &,stem - Natural Area in the current Official Plan. No change is proposed in these designations. Based on new information respecting the flood lines associated with these lands received since the May 8th, 2001 public meeting, staff is no longer proposing redesignation of these lands to Marina Areas as was contemplated at that time. Rather, the recommended policy clarifies that despite the Natural Areas designation, parking and boat storage are permissible uses within Precinct C. The recommended policy direction for Precinct C responds to the concerns expressed about the lack of parking in Waterfront Node, following the success of the Millennium Square this summer. Notwithstanding the recommended policy for Precinct C, the recommended amendment and development guidelines continue to provide for on-street parking on both sides of Liverpool Road, south of Wharf Street, and on one side of other streets within the Node. Staff supports on-street parking as it tends to slow passing vehicles, and creates a barrier for the pedestrian between the sidewalk and the street pavement. In addition, the recommended amendment identifies that Council may accept cash-in-lieu of parking in this area, particularly for the small-scale retail developments anticipated along Liverpool Road and in Fairport Village. This may assist in securing lands for public parking elsewhere in the area. As part of the recommended implementation strategies, it is recommended that Council monitor the parking situation over time and mitigative actions be taken if required. Precinct D: Historic Village of Fairport Precinct D, (see Figure 1), includes the historic Village of Fairport. Precinct D represents an area within the Waterfront Node where opportunities exist to rejuvenate the historic village functions by permitting the introduction of small scale businesses into the existing residential area.

Report to Council PD 42-01 Subject: Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review - Final Report & ePA 01-001/P (City-initiated) Date: November 20, 2001 Page 12 3.4 3.5 The Waterfront Development Guidelines will provide direction for future development including public infrastructure projects within the Liverpool Road South Area. The Guidelines will assist with the review of development applications, and provide direction for the preparation of development proposals. Accordingly, staff recommends that Council adopt the revised Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines attached as Appendix II to Report Number PD 42-01, as the City's strategy for detailed land use, urban design, and transportation within the Liverpool Road South Area. Implementation Strategy The Implementation Strategy was presented in the Part 1 - Phase 2 Report and adopted "in principle" by Council last June. The Strategy addresses the components of a desirable waterfront that assist in implementing land use, design and development matters, or are complementary strategies and initiatives. Minor refinements are made to fine-tune the Strategy and to ensure consistency xvith the Development Guidelines and the City-initiated Official Plan Amendment. As part of the Strategy's actions, it is suggested that Council consider allocating, as part o1' its annual budgeting process, monies for complementary public infrastructure improvements. These improvements will, in some cases, be shared with other partners. Staff suggest that funds be set aside for such matters as streetscape, gateway and special sidewalk treatments, pedestrian lighting and signage, eventual burial of hvdro wires, and tree planting within the Waterfront Node. While the implementation matters identified are aimed at Council, there are other levels of government, public and private agencies, private and non-govermnent organizations, and others xvho will collaboratively assist in the achievement of a successful waterfront node. A number of actions have been identified through the Detailed Review that would assist in achieving the objectives for the Liverpool Road South area. The Implementation Strategy includes such actions as: · pursuing opportunities to increase public access to the water's edge, where feasible; · budgeting for infrastructure projects such as sidewalks and street light poles; · investigating the opportunity for additional parking areas within the Waterfront Node; · involving the City's Waterfront Coordinating Committee in efforts to improve the navigability of Frenchman's Bay and its harbour entrance: and · continuing efforts to improve the ecological state of Frenchman's Bay and Hydro Marsh. it is recommended that the "Implementation Strategy", be adopted, as part of Appendix B to the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines (see Guidelines, Appendix II to this Report). Informational Revision 8 to the Pickering Official Plan Information revisions to the Plan are required to identity the adoption of the Development Guidelines for the Liverpool Road South Area. In June 2000, Council adopted in principle Informational Revision 8 to the Plan, which included an updated Neighbourhood Map for the Bay Ridges Neighbourhood and informational text. The recommended Informational Revisions reflect Council's adoption of the Guidelines on both the Neighbourhood Map and in the related informational text. No changes are necessary from the earlier version. Staff recommends Council adopt the Informational Revision 8 to the Pickering Official Plans set out in Appendix Ii to Report PD 42-01.

Bay Ridges lies on the east side of Frenchman's Bay. Highway 401 is the neighbourhood's northern limit, and Lake Ontario is its southern limit. The Liverpool Road Waterfront Node extends from the lots on the north side of Commerce Street southerly to Lake Ontario along both sides of Liverpool Road. It extends west to include all of the properties having access to, and exposure to, Frenchman's Bay, including the water lots under the Bay. The Node includes the historic "Village of Fairport'. KrosnoCreek abuts the east edge of the Node. Further east is Alex Robertson Park, Sandy Beach Road, and the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. To the south is Lake Ontario. To the west lies Frenchman's Bay, and further west is the West Shore Neighbourhood. To the north lies a mixture of old cottage style development, as well as newer 1950% and 1960% subdivision development. A commercial area serving the Neighbourhood is located about a half a kilometer to the north at the intersection of Krosno Boulevard and Liverpool Road. The Node's history is closely linked with its waterfront location. Over the years, numerous marinas, boat storage, and marine service businesses have operated in tt~e area, and a number continue to operate. A sewage pumping station operates on the east side of Liverpool Road. Additionally, the Node offers opportunities for formal and informal recreational activities with natural open space, park areas, and trails. At the time of adoption of these Guidelines, it ,,vas realized that some parts of the area exhibit a somewhat unkempt, or disused appearance, while others exhibit extreme attention to detail, design and maintenance. Investment and attention by municipal, other government and non-government organizations, by individuals, and by private landowners, residents and business operators, will help polish this "diamond in the rough" C1.2 Guiding Vision - "Great Lakes Nautical Village" The guiding vision for the entire Node is that of a "Great Lakes Nautical Village" with a mix of uses and an ambiance that is inviting. The Village should be an interesting place to live, work, and visit. Recognizing Frenchman's Bay as a boating tourism area, the Nautical Village will provide seasonal marina facilities with some opportunities for visiting boaters. Additional land-based recreation and tourism opportunities will bring visitors from the local area interested in spending a few hours to most of a day in the area. The nature of the Village will be geared toward pedestrian comfort, including street amenities. The character of the Great Lakes Nautical Village will be established by its series of small blocks with frequent and regular views out to the water. The streets will form view corridors Liverpool Road Waterfror-,t Noae" ....... - j't CI '~ ~e,~_.~n,~ . ,~_;ceilrmes .:.r,,,,o~,erm~ber 2,3,3,1i Poge 2 -' '" and act as public open space. -xn added bemeflt (~ tr~ r~rm et de~eloprsser~t is that from Frenchman's Bay, the Great Like> ',,autical \ ~lia~e ~%~iI L)e permeated by view corridors, rather than bein~q a continuous ~dll Of buildins_,. -k well-connected network el public' open space ~r~c: -:~e~_~, ~smlcr~, ~xl~ibit a high level of str-(~etscape design and qu,~lit}. ~u~r'tmer reinforces t~h~' (:~,_!r~tcter ~? trst' \'iltage.

Th(~ Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines (November, 2001) Page 3 C1.3.3 Marina Mixed Use Area Tt~ese lands will develop in a manner that creates a high quality built form that is sensitive to views of the water, provides a critical link for visual and physical public accessibility to the waterfront where appropriate, has an attractive pedestrian scale, and builds upon existing neighbourhood patterns. The mix of uses will relate to the area's nautical heritage, and the mix may vary depending on the location of the lands within the area. This area is the primary marina area. Throughout the area, permissible uses consist of: marinas, yacht clubs, mooring facilities, and ancillary facilities; marina-supportive uses and facilities; restaurants, limited retail; public open space; and community, cultural and recreational uses. The retailing may be limited in both the type and size. For lands shown as shaded within the Marina Mixed Use Area, residential uses may be permitted subject to conditions. These conditions include the requirement that a functional marina operation is maintained on the remaining lands and that a significant public benefit is provided. The provision of publicly-accessible space at the water's edge would qualify as a significant public benefit as part of a redevelopment project. The inclusion of residential as a possible use introduces a greater mix of uses, creates more vibrancy and opportunities for activity at different times of the day. In addition, there are opportunities for cross-marketing of new residential uses with the marina facilities. C1.3.4 Liverpool Road Corridor Certain lands on the Tertiary Plan are identified as the Liverpool Road Corridor. Development along Liverpool Road will achieve a high level of design and architectural quality, featuring a vibrant pedestrian environment. This area represents the tourism and service commercial uses that complement the marina, recreation and waterfront trail uses within the Waterfront Node. Residential uses within the Liverpool Road Corridor would also be permitted provided that a significant public benefit is provided. To qualify as a significant benefit for residential development, the ground floor of the residential units fronting on Liverpool Road must be designed and constructed in such a way that the ground floor can be easily converted in the future to accommodate a range of uses. Over time, the area will offer a mix of uses including residential, commercial, retail, and office, which contribute to an inviting public realm at street level. C1.3.5 Public Use/Parking and Boat Storage Area This area includes the City's parking lot, and lands directly east of the City's parking lot on the 'Coolwater Farms' property (currently proposed for off-season boat storage), the Region of Durham's sewage pumping station and the lands currently owned by Ontario Power Generation located behind the 'Hilts' property. These lands represent an area where the City is investigating the opportunity for additional public parking facilities, alone or in partnership with other landowners.

This section of the Development Guidelines follows from the discussion on the "Great Lakes Nautical Village" vision, and applies the Official Plan's design "tools" to the Waterfront Node. This direction includes such matters as placement of new streets, massing and siting of buildings, and streetscape design. Detailed design matters, such as architectural themes, landscaping, and design of public roads and trails, are discussed in Appendix A - "Detailed Architectural, Landscape and Streetscape Guidelines". C1.4.1 Views and Vistas Currently, there are open views to Frenchman's Bay from Liverpool Road, south of Wharf Street, which provide a sense of place to the waterfront location. Views such as these are considered to be of primary importance to the establishment and preservation of a sense of place. These views create the unique atmosphere of the area, and help define the vision for the Node. To preserve, enhance and maximize opportunities for views from the area towards Frenchman's Bay and Lake Ontario, is of primary importance and shall be a key consideration in the review of any development proposal. Of utmost importance is the need to protect views, and frame view corridors, at frequent intervals along Liverpool Road to Frenchman's Bay. The views and vistas conceptualized in the following drawing will help to maintain this area's link to the waterfront as well as protect and enhance Liverpool Road South's unique sense of place. :OMMERCE Frenchman's Bay Panorama Vista Existing View Proposed View Figure B - Views and Vistas Hyaro Marsh -,=.¥.~ ....-~.r-* ©u;ceiines (November. 2001) Liverpool Road Waterfront Noae .... u Page C1.4.2 Transpo,qat~on Netv~ ark A complete transportation rseKx(~r'.~ c()n,~sts of tnru~~ pnmary levels.

I Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines (November, 2001) Page 9 C1.4.4 Built Form New buildings should be designed to be welcoming and friendh,' to pedestrians. This should be accomplished through features such as front porches, high quality landscaping of front yards, large windows on the ground floor, and signage of an appropriate character. All architectural design must be of a high quality. Methodologies that include various design elements for reducing the bulk of a building's appearance should be developed as part of the architectural design. Enhanced flankage elevations will be required for corner lots. The materials, rooflines, design elements and details of new buildings st~ould harmonize with the Great Lakes Nautical Village theme. The design of buildings directly adjacent to the street will be an important part of the creation of a cohesive design theme for the streets in the area. A continuous street wall (occasionally interrupted to maintain views of the Bay), is ideal for this kind of street treatment. Buildings along Liverpool Road shall be built close to the street without too much variation in setbacks. This form will help to provide containment to the street. Ample fenestration on the front face of buildings will assist in creating a safe, invitin~ environment alon,q the street. Buildings along Liverpool Road must be designed in a manner such that tt~ev can accommodatea range of uses over time. Ground-level rooms at the front of buildings will be highly visible, feature ample fenestration, and be easily accessible from tt~e street. These ground-level rooms must be constructed to the appropriate Building and Fire Code standards for easy conversion to accommodate a range of commercial-type uses. Signage for any businesses located here must be discreetly located and consistent with tile architectural theme of the building. Tt~e design of the public right-of-way between the curb edge and private property is considered to be critical to the successful development of this area. Special attention will be given to developing a cohesive streetscape treatment that can be applied to private development and the public realm throughout the corridor. The streetscape treatment will include paving material, lighting, signposts and street furniture (seating, waste receptacles and drinking fountains), which will be located in distinct areas adjacent to the sidewalk for easy pedestrian access. ,ii I ii I I Buildings along Liverpool Road must be designed in a manner such Frenchman's Bay I Build-to Zones for Hydro Marsh 500 '~..,~ uiverpooiRoodWate.,ron, Node Se,v,e;c,on-,e~- S-~;ceii,-,es ('No _,nDe. 2001) Page 10 . that they can accommodate a rangu of uses overhme.

C1.7 Servicing C1.7.1 Water and Sewage The Region of Durham Works Department indicates that ample capacity exists with water supply to service new development in the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node. Sanitary servicing constraints have been identified for major new residential development and commercial uses generating high volumes of waste. The Region has identified both interim and long-term solutions to address these limitations. Applicants should consult with the Regional Works Department in this regard. C1.7.2 Stormwater Management All new development must incorporate stormwater "best management practices" to ensure that post-development flows are of equal or superior quality and quantity to that of pre- development flows.

The 'Great Lakes Nautical Village' theme reflects the outcomes of historical research on the early life of the Bay, Fairport Village and Picketing; an extensive consultation process; and review of current planning policy and development directions for the Area. At the core of the guidelines is the underlying Great Lakes Nautical Village theme that has evolved based upon the Study process. Public, stakeholder, land owner and municipal consultation, background research, previous studies, market factors and sound design principles have been combined to distil the theme to the Nautical Village concept. In addition to the obvious aesthetic characteristics of the Great Lakes Nautical Village theme are a series of other, equally important, first principles that the design guidelines and future development should reflect. These other first principles t~ave been derived from the work previously completed by tt~e various Pickerin~g initiatives such as the Pickering Waterfront 200] Mayor's Task Force, Liverpool Road South Detailed Design Part One, Pickering Official Plan and extensive public and focused consultation. The ()tiler first principles inherent in the Nautical Village theme include: · Use of an eco-system approach to enhance sustainability and environmental responsibility; · Retention and promotion of marine and marina related uses; · Design and specification of appropriate building materials and strategies that reflect current development initiatives, harsh climate and public nature of the area; · Consideration of and provision for all people; · Design for the accommodation/integration of mixed uses. These principles will be included in the consideration and definition of all detailed guidelines.

Buildings should be designed so that the ground floor use can be separated from upper floor uses (if different) to meet Ontario Building Code requirements. Architecture of buildings along Liverpool Road to follow nautical theme, be characterized by facades of varying designs that incorporate balconies, decks, front porches, awnings, and window boxes. Nautical Village elements for buildings include: · Maintaining a scale of smaller historic buildings, so that larger buildings need to be broken down visually into smaller components; · Front entrances encouraged to have large and generous porches with upper floor balconies or decks above porches; ground floor windows encouraged to be part of extended front porch, or have awnings or canopies, which can also contain signage; · Exterior cladding materials that would have been used in earlier buildings along waterfronts, e.g. brick or siding, but not concrete block; · Exterior trim in contrasting colour (e.g. white), tying in with the colour of porches, balconies, railing and other decorative treatment; · Windows to have proportions that reflect those of earlier buildings, not a typical horizontal strip window: however, ground floor windows to be bigger, to act a store front windows; windows to have trim surrounds; · Window colour and pattern to be in keeping with rest of exterior treatment · Roofs not to be flat, but to be steeply pitched; · Front yard treatment can include nautical elements found in working waterfronts; · Signage to be scaled for pedestrians, not vehicles; signs to be mounted on walls, awnings or canopies, or as projecting signs to act as secondary signs; colour of signs to be in keeping with colour and treatment of building; lighting for signs to be external, but not backlit, backlit plastic signs acceptable. Landscape Guidelines Historically nautical villages had very little vegetation standing in and/or around the working waterfront. The Great Lakes Nautical Village will also have very few trees within the public road allowance due to limited space and spatial conflict with the markers, lights and buildings. North of the Village, on the side streets and behind Liverpool Road frontages, a variety of trees can be incorporated. The trees should be planted to accomplish specific goals such as shade provision, visual screening, physical barrier and aesthetics. Native species should be used to reduce the potential for species invasion within the nearby sensitive areas. Long-term plantings such as trees and shrubs have been listed on the attached Preliminary Plant List. Where colour and ornamentals are desired perennials and annuals should be used. The selection of these plants should be based upon the desired effect and proven success rate.

The gateway is to consist of: · Two, nauticatly-themed markers at the intersection - each illustrative of a mast (a metal or wood pole), "sail" (colourful banners), stays (diagonal cabling), and a flag at the top of the pole to complete the image; · Uplights for night-time illumination of banners; · Special paving treatment of pedestrian crossings at the intersection to signal start of a new pedestrian-oriented environment along Liverpool Road south to the Bridge; · The exact location of intersection markers will be finalized by the Region of Durham (for Bayly Street) and City of Pickering (for Liverpool Road). Liverpool Road and Krosno Street Intersection Creating a second "gateway" at Krosno Street is intended to attract travelers down Liverpool Road by maintain visual continuity and interest between Bayly Street and the 'Nautical Village'. While Liverpool Road slopes down from Bayly Street and offers a view of Lake Ontario, it is important to provide visual cues that lead the transition to streetscape elements further south. The "gateway is to consist of: · Two, nautically-themed markers at the intersection - each comprising symbols related to those at Bayly Street in terms of design principles, but with triangular-shaped "sails"; · Uplights for night-time illumination of "sails" (banners); · Special paving treatment of pedestrian crossings at Krosno Street to encourage pedestrian activity and safety along Liverpool Road. Liverpool Road and Commerce Street Intersection Creating a third "gateway" is intended to act as an entrance to the "Nautical Village" that highlights the proposed Front Street Park and Millenium Trail. The "gateway" is to consist of: · Two, nautically-themed markers at the intersection - each comprising symbols similar to Krosno Street Intersection; · Markers establish a triangular theme of pennants, which is echoed in the shape of banners, pennants and stays on streetlights south of Commerce (as well as the family of other design elements, including pedestrian scale street lights, hanging flowers, street signs and pedestrian level way-finding signs). Liverpool Road and Annland Street Intersection Creating a fourth "gateway" is intended to parallel the Commerce Street Intersection, closing the proposed Front Street Park loop. The "gateway" is to consist of: · Similar treatment in terms of intersection markers as Commerce Street Intersection; · Curb "bulge-outs" similar to those at Commerce Street to increase pedestrian convenience of street crossing and for traffic calming; · Special pavement treatment at pedestrian crossings. 1 Rood Waterfront Node Develolsment Guidelic, es 'xover~er 20011 Page 20 ~- - Banners Banners are lintel;tied to provido oppor'tu~rs~ts Tof rderst~ficc~tlon and wa~-(inding along LiverpooJ Road fron~ BayJy Street to the BricJqe, ~rqd t~r'{)US~h(~U:t t~Se Study ,~r(~,~.

Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines (November, 2001) Page 21 Liverpool Road between Krosno and Commerce Streets Streetscape improvements on Liverpool Road between Krosno and Commerce Streets are intended to continue the street enhancements established further north. The proposed streetscape elements consist of: · Same treatment of the street light poles - cobra-head streettight, banners, and hanging flower baskets; · Same tree planting program to provide containment of street; · New sidewalk construction on the west side from Park Road to Commerce Street with a width of 1.5m (any new sidewalk reconstruction on Liverpool Road should include widening the sidewalk from 1.2m to1 .Sm); · Provide traffic calming measures by using paint to create striped zones next to the curb to reduce traffic lanes to 3.25m maximum width. Liverpool Road between Commerce and Wharf Streets Streetscape improvements on .Liverpool Road between Commerce and Wharf Streets should reinforce the role of Commerce Street Intersection as the main entrance point to the "Nautical Village". Pedestrian amenity and choice is to be reinforced from this intersection to provide two routes: west along Commerce Street to the proposed Front Street Park and Millennium Trail, and south along Liverpool Road to the Bridge. The proposed streetscape elements, in addition to the intersection markers described above, consist of: · Street curb and boulevard widening; · Narrowing pavement width to two, 3.25m traffic lanes for traffic calming and greater convenience for pedestrians at street crossings; 0.5m Sod 1.5m i ' S~r~o~ OU Lane TraffcLane B I Parking zoo, (Fairport ViBage) %5_m II.0m~ - - ] ~ 8.5m Exisbng 20.75m E Liverpool Road: Wharf Street to Commerce Street 0.5m Sod LiverDoo!

In addition to informal conversations with members of the public, the following key consultation sessions have occurred: · a public meeting/workshop, held April 18ih, 2000, to provide background information and discuss key objectives and aspirations that members of the public hold for the area; · a workshop/design charette, held April 25th, 2000, with key City and agency staff to examine land use and design options; · a stakeholders' workshop, held April 26% 2000, to discuss issues and emerging development principles with community representatives, major property owners in the study area, and key agency staff; · a meeting with major property owners, held May 2nd, 2000, to discuss issues and emerging development principles; and · a public meeting, held May 16th, 2000, to discuss the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review: Part 1 - Phase 1 Report. The report discussed at the May 16th public meeting provided a draft land use plan for the study area, draft development guidelines, and a draft implementation strategy. Approximately 70 people attended the meeting, and a variety of comments were made either verbally or through the submission of comment sheets (written comments are available for review at the Planning and Development Department). Correspondence received since the May 16th meeting is attached to this summary. The following discussion identifies issues that were most frequently raised by members of the public. Each issue is accompanied by a staff response. Protectinq the Environment Concerns were raised regarding the potential for new development to have a detrimental impact on the area's natural features, including Frenchman's Bay, Krosno Creek and the Hydro Marsh. Staff Response When development applications are submitted, several "development review" policies within the Pickering Official Plan are triggered, including requirements for the submission of Environmental Reports that determine potential negative impacts and means of mitigating those impacts. The recommended Development Guidelines (see Part C), provide additional direction on this matter, including the positions that: no development or filling should be permitted within the Hydro Marsh; buffers and edge management strategies are required around the marsh; and on-going initiatives for the restoration of Krosno Creek, Hydro Marsh and Frenchman's Bay should be continued. Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review: Part 1 - Phase 2 Report A-1 Concerns were raised with future possibilities of bay-fill occurring wiihin Frenchman's Bay. The "Pickering Ajax Citizens Together" group has taken the position that no bay-filling be permitted. Staff Response It is our understanding that properly designed fill operations can revitahze shoreline and improve fish spawning and habitat areas. To completely prohibit bay-filling may preclude opportunities to improve certain segments of the Frenchman's Bay shoreline. Such improvements may also be appropriate to accommodate public waterfront amenities, such as a waterfront promenade. Proposals to fill within Frenchman's Bay, regardless of the extent of the proposed bay-filling, will require permits from the Toronto & Region Conservation Authority, the federal Department of Fishenes and Oceans, and possibly the provincial Ministry of Natural Resources. Alt proposals to bay-fil v,i:i require detailed Environmental Impact Studies, and be subject to the consideration of the appropriate approval autnonties Increased Neig. hbourhood Traffic Several people, particularly those living along Liverpool Road. were concerned with the prospects of increased traffic in the neighbourhood resulting from additional development. Staff Response As lands in the area redevelop, traffic volumes will increase. However, this increase will be relative to the intensity of future development. The recommended Development Guidelines ~see Part Ci. establish parameters for future development that is consistent with other development currently found within the Bay Ridges neighbourhood. The Development Guidelines do not contemplate a "regional scale' ;evei of development, as the corresponding intensity of development would be inappropriate for this area. Certain events and summer weekends may generate peak volumes of traffic higher than what is typically experienced. If that occurs, steps can be taken to m~n~m~ze the effect on the neighbourhood. This could include signage directing vehicles to other access routes (Sandy Beach Road), and providing shuttle bus service from other parts of the City. If increasing traffic volumes and speeds result with an undesirable situation in the future, Council could, at its discretion, implement traffic-calming measures to curtail the inappropnate activity. Parking The Pad 1 - Phase 1 Report identified opportunities to meet future park,ng demands in the area. Several people objected to the suggestion that certain existing and future roads snouid accommcdate on-street parking, and were concerned that there may not be enough parking. Staff Response The parking strategies included within the recommended Deve!opment Guidelines ~see Part C), are a "package" of opportunities, suggesting both on- and off-street parking. All will likely be required to accommoda;e future parking demand in this area of limited available land. Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review' Part 1 - Phase 2 Re¢ort A-2 Parking on public roads is an excellent means of managing parking demand, and its documented impacts include reduced traffic speeds, which can decrease the likelihood of accidents. On-street parking also provides a buffer between pedestrians on sidewalks, and vehicular traffic. If on-street parking is instituted and problems are experienced, Council can choose to revise or cancel the on-street parking program. However, staff believe the proposed opportunities for parking will be adequate. Potential Loss of Marina Activity The recommendations found within the Part 1 - Phase 1 Report did not state that any particular waterfront-related land use must occur within the area. Conceivably then, according to the Phase 1 Report, the entire area could be developed for residential purposes without marina or other waterfront-related activities. This was of great concern to several individuals attending the May 16th meeting. Staff Response The study team re-examined this part of the land use plan and development guidelines, and we agree that redevelopment along Frenchman's Bay must incorporate waterfront-related activities. To allow otherwise could result with a lost opportunity of substantial proportions. Revisions have made to the Development Guidelines (see Part C) and provisions included in the Potential Amendments to the Pickering Official Plan (see Part F) that will establish a "Waterfront Use and Amenity Area" adjacent to the Bay. Uses permitted in this area will include marinas, yacht clubs, marina-supportive facilities, mooring facilities, the waterfront promenade and other public activity areas such as public piers and public squares. Additional uses such as residential, commercial, retail, and office uses, could be considered within the Waterfront Use and Amenity Area, provided that detailed development proposals incorporate marinas, docking facilities, marine-related activities, and/or public activity areas. As originally discussed in the draft development guidelines, a publicly-accessible waterfront promenade remains a required element of any redevelopment proposal. Proposed Boat Ramp at the Front Street City Park At the April 25th public meeting/workshop, a concept plan for the new Front Street City Park was shown, which included a boat launch to Frenchman's Bay. At the May 16th meeting, neighbouring residents continued to express concerns with the boat launch aspect of the concept plan - citing the lack of appropriate parking as their major issue. Staff Response The planning and design process for the Front Street City Park has involved a process separate from this Detailed Review. The concerns regarding the boat launch were forwarded to the Operations and Emergency Services Department, as will a copy of this Report. Final decisions on the design of this park have yet to be made. Additional Issues Additional issues that were discussed at the May 16t~ meeting include: building heights; public funding for channel entrance improvements; displacement of geese; sewage capacity; and removal of derelict barges. Staff considered all comments in the preparation of the Phase 2 Report. Where necessary, minor revisions and additions were made to various parts of this Report to address the comments. Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review: Part 1 - Phase 2 Report A-3 LIVERPOOL ROAD SOUTH AREA DETAILED REVIEW: PART 2 - PHASE 2 REPORT PUBLIC CONSULTATION sUMMARY Consulting with residents and landowners within and around the Liverpool Road South study area, other interested people and groups, public agencies, the consulting team and ~:ey City staff has been an ~ntegral component of this study. The information report discussed at the April 19t~' statutory public informat',or' meeting provided a proposed amendment to the Pickering Official Plan, wh,,ch proposed new land use designations and policies for the Liverpool Road South Area. Approximately 20 people attended the meeting, and a variety of comments were made either verbally at the meeting or through subsequent discussions with staff. The following discussion identifies the issues, which continue to be most frequently raised by members of the public through both consultation sessions held as part of the Detailed Review and the statutory public information meeting. Each issue is accompanied by a staff response. Great Lakes Nautical Villa.qe Members of the public suggested that the theme for the area should refer to a 'Great Lakes' Nautical Village. Staff Response Staff agrees. Both the draft amendment and Development Guidelines will incorporate this theme and include features of typical 'Great Lakes' waterfronts. Potential Loss of Marina Activity The public and some landowners continue to reiterate their concern that the proposed amendment does not sufficiently restrict lands adjacent to Frenchman's Bay for marina yacht dubs and marina-supportive facilities. Further, it was noted that a developer may not be prevented from proposing solely residential development within the 40 metre corridor along Frenchman's Bay if publicly accessible spaces and amenities were provided. Consequently, the entire area could be developed for residential purposes without marina or other waterfront-related activities. Staff Response The intent of the "Waterfront Use and Amenity Area" was to establish a corridor stretching approximately 40 metres inland from the edge of Frenchman's Bay, running from the Front Street City Park though the Marina Mixed Use area to Liverpool Road. Generally, the area would be reserved of exclusively for marine-related activates, including marinas, yacht clubs, marina-supportive facilities, mooring facilities At Councils discretion, additional uses such as residential, commercial, retail and office uses could be considere~ within the 40 metres, provided that detailed development proposals made appropriate accommodations for marine related aotivities and/or public activity areas. Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review' Part 2 - Phase 2 Repo~ A-1 t, TTACH~-~Ei~,IT # ~ TO Staff has re-examined this issue and accepts the concern that redevelopment along Frenchman's Bay could potentially allow uses other than waterfront-related uses. This is inconsistent with keeping the area as a 'working waterfront', which is the basis for the Waterfront Node. Revisions have made to delete clause (g) from the draft Amendment to the Pickering Official Plan (see Part C) and the "Waterfront Use and Amenity Area" from the Waterfront Node Development Guidelines (see Part E). In this way, the area is reserved for marine-related activities including marinas, yacht clubs and marina~supportive facilities. New residential development, retail and office uses are directed to the Liverpool Road Corridor as identified in the Guidelines. Over time, the area will offer a mix of uses that contribute to an inviting public realm at street level. Waterfront Promenade Based on the comments received to-date, there continues to be concern for establishing a waterfront promenade along Frenchman's Bay. Staff Response As indicated in the previous comment, there is concern that the lands along Frenchman's Bay could be developed exclusively for residential with the only public benefit being the waterfront promenade. Yet, there does not seem to be landowner or public support for the water's edge promenade. If pursued, the promenade could lead to redevelopment almost entirely for residential purposes, in return for an intermittent, if achievable, water's edge trail. It would also compete with Liverpool Road for scarce municipal infrastructure expenditures. Accordingly, staff is deleting the waterfront promenade from both the draft Amendment (see Part C) and the Waterfront Node Development Guidelines (see Part E). In recognition of the desirability of providing diverse and satisfying public access opportunities, however, staff is suggesting that a new clause be added to the draft Amendment (see Part E) encouraging proponents of development to consider publicly-accessible points of interest adjacent to Frenchman's Bay, where feasible. For example, restaurant patio areas or benches along the shore could still provide the public with an opportunity to experience and appreciate the Bay's scenic features. Proposed Boat Ramp at the Front Street City Park Concerns have been raised with respect to the proposed boat launch at Front Street City Park and the proposed parking lot. Staff Response The planning and design process for the Front Street City Park has involved a process separate from this Detailed Review. However, in recognition of the concerns expressed regarding the boat launch, the Operations & Services Department revised the concept plan to reduce the scale of the facility. The current design would not permit the backing-up of boat trailers into the water. Canoes, kayaks and similar smaller craft would be off-loaded from motorized vehicles at the top of boat launch area and carried to the water. The proposed parking area within the Park complies with the City's policy on providing parking in public areas such as parks. The revised concept plan has been reviewed with the City Councillor. Since a similar facility is not being planned at the foot of Sandy Beach Road on the west side of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, clause (n) has been deleted within the draft amendment (see Part D). Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review: Part 2 - Phase 2 Report A-2 '133 Concerns have been raised with respect to permitting bay-fill occurring along the edge of Frenchman's Bay. Staff Response Last June, Council substituted the clause on bay-fill. It was their intent to severely restrict proposals to fill along the edge of Frenchman's Bay to those instances when ~t was the 'best environmental benefit" to Frenchman's Bay and its shoreline, and when it would be absolutely required to facilitate waterfront public amenities and pedestrian access. Comments have suggested that this policy cculd be improved by providing better clarity on how to define the term "best environmental benefit". Further, some comments suggest there remains merit in allowing limited bay-fill along the shoreline to achieve the pubiic objectives w~thin the Waterfront Node. In response to providing clarity to the policy regarding the ,~se of bay-fill, word~ng has been added to require proposals to demonstrate "no adverse effects' on the marine enwrcr~ment. This is consistent with the terminology used in the federal Fisheries Act and the provincial Enwronmentai Assessment Act This ensures that proposals for bay-fill does not impair water quality, aquatic habitat, and adjacent uses from the loss of fill. Increased Nei.qhbourhood Traffic Several people, particularly those living along Liverpool Road, were concerned with the prospects of increased traffic in the neighbourhood resulting from additional development Others expressed concern with the ability of buses and other emergency vehicles to turn around at the foot of Liverpool Road. Staff Response As lands in the area redevelop, traffic volumes wiiJ increase. However this increase will be relative to the intensity of future development. The revised Development Guidelines (see Part C), establish parameters for future development that is consistent with other development currently found within the Bay Ridges neighbourhood. Certain events and summer weekends may generate peak volumes of traffic higher than what is typically experienced. If that occurs, steps can be taken to minimize the effect on the neighbourhood. This could include signage directing vehicles to other access routes (Sandy Beach Road), and providing shuttle bus service from other pads of the City. If increasing traffic volumes and speeds result with an undesirable s~tuation in the future, Council could, at its discretion, implement traffic-calming measures to curtail the inappropnate actMty. The City's design for the reconstruction of the foot of Liverpoo! Road nov,, accommodates the turning of buses and emergency vehicles. Parking The Part 1 - Phase 1 Report identified opportunities to meet future parking demands in the area Several people objected to the suggestion that certain existing and future roads should accommodate on-street parking, and were concerned that there may not be enough parking. Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review: Part 2 - Phase 2 Reoort A-3 ':~ 'TT', ACHMENT #~_TO %?ORT # pD_~~ ~ Staff Response The parking strategies included within the recommended Development Guidelines (see Part C) is a "package" of opportunities, suggesting both on- and off-street parking. Opportunities for parking include: requiring that all new residential development provide appropriate off-street parking; continuing with on-street parking on one side of Liverpool Road north of Wharf Street and on one side of the other streets north of Wharf Street; on both sides of Liverpool Road south of Wharf Street; and one side of any new east-west streets south of Wharf Street. Parking areas will comply with the City's parking by-law, which restricts parking to a 3-hour maximum. As part of the package of opportunities, Council may accept cash-in-lieu of parking in this area, particularly for the small-scale retail developments anticipated along Liverpool Road and in Fairport Village. This will assist in securing lands for public parking elsewhere in the area. The City is also pursuing additional City parking behind "Hilts" property to address concerns regarding overall capacity. The parking situation will be monitored over time and mitigative actions taken if required. Safety Several people were concerned with continuing the Millennium Trail through the Liverpool Road Corridor and the potential for the pedestrian/cyclist/vehicle conflict. Staff Response The blending of the Millennium Trail into the Liverpool Road Corridor is appropriate since it enables the cyclist the choice of movement on and off road. The users, depending on their capability, can choose their preferred route. For example, cyclists can either ride their bikes on the road or walk their bikes on the sidewalk. This option also reinforces the special distinctive nature of the area similar to other locations along the waterfronts of Lake Ontario. Protecting the Environment Concerns were raised regarding the potential for new development to have a detrimental impact on the area's natural features, including Frenchman's Bay, Krosno Creek and the Hydro Marsh. Staff Response When development applications are submitted, several "development review" policies within the Pickering Official Plan are triggered, including requirements for the submission of Environmental Reports that determine potential negative impacts and means of mitigating those impacts. The revised Development Guidelines (see Part C), provide additional direction on this matter, including the positions that: no development or filling should be permitted within the Hydro Marsh; buffers and edge management strategies are required around the marsh; and on-going initiatives for the restoration of Krosno Creek, Hydro Marsh and Frenchman's Bay should be continued. Currently, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is carrying out some work to delineate new fill and flood lines, and an Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA) designation for the Liverpool Road South area including a portion of the Coolwater Farms property. The results of the Authority's work may require future amendments to the Shoreline and Stream Corridor and ESA designation in Schedule III Resource Management to the Pickering Official Plan. As was indicated at the statutory public information meeting, a clause was added to the proposed amendment requiring the proponent, prior to the approval of a zoning by-law amendment, to confirm the developable area of the Coolwater Farms property with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review: Part 2 - Phase 2 RePort A-4 ',-'L, RT,~ PDt- ' ,' Control Architect A concern was expressed about the policy requiring proponents to provide funding for a control architect, which is retained by the City to assist in the review of development proposals. Aisc, a part of clause (i), there was a concern that the proposed policy that would have permitted Counci to enter into agreements with proponents "on any other matters" did not provide clear parameters to guide private developmen: Staff Response The intent of this policy was to ensure that all proposals incluaing residential complied with the Development Guidelines. Under the revised amendment, residential proposals south of Anntand Street are only permitted within the Liverpool Road Corridor. Given this more limited scale of residential development, staff is now satisfied that there is sufficient direction in the Development Guidelines to ensure that development along Liverpool Road achieves a high level of design and architectural quality for the area Accordingly, the assistance of a control architect is not longer necessary. On the matter of permitting Council to enter into agreements with proponents on any other matters, the City has, through the development application process, the ability to require agreements to be entered into. Accordingly, clause (i) is deleted from the draft amendment (see Part F) Maintenance of the Waterfront Node The long-term maintenance of the area, especially along Liverpool Road relating to such services as litter pickup and snow removal was expressed. Staff Response The City will endeavour to provide a level of maintenance that is commensurate with the level of use of the facitities throughout the year. Mixed Commercial- Residential alon Lig_LLV..E~pool Road A concern was expressed regarding the proposed policy requirement of new residential development along Liverpool Road being designed to accommodate a range of uses including commercial, personal service and office on the ground floor. As well, some comments suggested that some units along Liverpool Road be constructed without a commercially-designed ground floor. Staff Response Staff has examined the issue and found the costs of accommodating commercial on the ground floor of a residential unit to be marginal. For example, a 100 square metre retail room at the fron,, of a 300 scuare metre residence would cost approximately $15,000 to $20,000 more in construction costs These costs can be recovered through the business lease, business tax expenses, etc.. In keeping v,,ith the ntended function of the Liverpoo; Road Corridor, staff still recommends that all residential adjacent to Liverpool Road be required to accommodate a commercially-designed ground floor. Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review: Part, ? - Phase 2 Re¢c,'z A-5 INFORMATION REPORT NO. 11-01 FOR PUBLIC INFOR,MATION MEETING OF April 19, 2001 IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PUBLIC MEETING REQUIREMENTS OF THE PLANNING ACT, R.S.O. 1990, chapter P.13 SUBJECT: Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 01-001/P City-Initiated: Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review Part of Lots 22 and 23, Range 3, B.F.C. (Lands on both sides of Commerce Street, extending xvest to Frenchman's Bay and south to the Lake Ontario shoreline, along both sides of Liverpool Road) City of Pickering 1.0 2.0 2.1 LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION - the proposed amendment would apply to lands within the Liverpool Road South Study Area, including both sides of Commerce Street, extending west to Frenchman's Bay and east to the Hydro Marsh. Both sides of Liverpool Road and the historic "Village of Fairport" are included (see Attachment #1); - existing development in the area includes a mixture of housing, marinas, restaurant, boat storage, marine service, the Region of Durham sewage pumping station, the former Coolwater Farms aquaculture facility, park and natural open space uses. BACKGROUND Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review in July, 1999. the City received two major development applications tbr lands within an area identified by the Pickering Official Plan as a Detailed Review Area. The Official Plan requires Council to complete the Detailed Review prior to dealing with major applications; in December, 1999, Council endorsed the Terms of Reference tbr a Detailed Review of the Liverpool Road South Area to establish comprehensive land use, urban design, transportation, and environmental management guidelines tbr the area. The Detailed Review consists of two parts: Part 1 focused on background information about the study area, land use, development guidelines and an implementation strategy. Part 2 establishes a design "theme" for the area, and expresses that theme in detailed architectural, landscape and streetscape guidelines; the final products of the Revie~v will be a City-initiated Official Plan Amendment, Development Guidelines including an Implementation Strategy, and Informational Revisions to the Picketing Official Plan. Some additional information on the Detailed Review is provided in Attachment #2; in June, 2000, Council discussed potential amendments to the Pickering Official Plan resulting from Part 1 of the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review. At this meeting, Council: received as background information the "Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review- Part 1, Phase 1 and 2 Reports"; Inibrmation Report No. 114)1 ,~-2,PORT # PD "/~ c-..~.._.~ Page 2 3.1) 3.1 3.2 adopted in principle tile "Lixeq>ool Road \Vaterfront Node Development Guidelines", the "Liverpool Road ~Vatcrfi'ont Node Revised Implementation Strate~v"~, , and related mlbrmational revisions to the Picketing Official Plan; directed City Staff to hold a Statmorv Public Inlbrmation Mectin~ tbllowin~ Pan 2 of the "kivcu, ool Road South Detailed Rcxiexx" to discuss potential amendments to the Picketing Official Pl:uq required to implement thc results of Part l, as set out in Appendix V to Rq~ort Number PD 26-(~() and fi~rther modified Dx' Council [Council replaced Clxu>c <m~ xxith 'x uexx clactsc, and de/~rrcd Clauses (g) and (h)]: directed City Staff to commence x~ith t'am 2 of thc "kive¢ool Road South Detailed Reviexv": and directed the City Clerk to /brxvard a cop) of Stat't-s Report prepared tbr timt meeting to various committees and age~cies: copies of' Council Resolution =9600 from the June 2000 meeting, and Appendix V fi'om Report Number PD 26-()()arc fx'ox'idcct as Attachments =3 to =4 rcspectix ely, to this Report: February, 2001. Part £ of the Review comiucnced: in March. 2001, Council directed staff to commence the Citx-mitiated Ot21cial Plan Amelqdment tbr the entire Livcu3ool Road Waterfront Node concurrently with Part 2 of the Review: Council directed that st'atT hold thc required Statutory Public In/brmation Meeting on April 19. 2()()I. to consider potential amendments to the Picketing OtEcial Plan to implement thc results of thc Detailed Review. OFFI('IAL PLANS l)urham Regional Official Plan the Durham Regional Official Plan designates Frenchman's Bay as a "\Vaterli'ont Place". Waterfront Places shall bc developed as lbcal points :_tlOllO the waterfront, and exhibit a mix of uses that attract people fbr a xarictv of' reasons.

This designation recognizes that certain lands generally associated with ~vater bodies and stream corridors may feature hazards such as flooding, slope instability and erosion. PROPOSED PICKERING OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT General Overview the purpose of this City-initiated amendment is to put in place new land use designations and policies for the Liverpool Road South Area, to implement the results of the Detailed Review. Complementary "Water. fi'on! Node Developmetzt Guidelines" will also be forwarded to Council to assist in implementing the study results, and to provide further guidance on the policies and designations. The proposed amendment has been prepared considering comments by the public, landowners and agencies as well as the modifications by Council during Part 1 of the Review, and considering comments to-date during Part 2: the proposed amendment is provided as Appendix I to this Report, and includes both proposed text policies and proposed schedule changes. It is proposed that the Picketing Official Plan be amended by: 6 redesignating certain lands to "Open Space System - Marina Areas" on Schedule I - Land Use Structure, as Ibllo~vs: lands on the south side of Annland Street west of Liverpool Road; lands on the east side of Liverpool Road south of Wharf Street; and lands on the east side of Liverpool Road known as "Coolwater Farms" together with the abutting City-owned lands [see Schedule A to Appendix I]; 7 revising the boundary of the "Wetlands" designation on Schedule III - Resource Management, to reflect new mapping of the provincially significant "Hydro Marsh" wetland [see Schedule B to Appendix I]; and 8 replacing policy 11.4 - Bay Ridges Neighbourhood Policies with new polices to: 8.1 incorporate the vision for the Liverpool Road \Vaterfront Node [see primarily clauses (a) - (e) but also (f) - (m)]; 8.2 permit a wider range of uses within the Marina Areas designation subject to certain conditions [see causes (i) and (g)]; 8.3 require building designs along Liverpool Road to accommodate ground floor commercial opportunities [clause (h)]; 8.4 identify additional implementation strategies for using agreements with the City and parking arrangements [clauses (i) and (j)]; 8.5 encourage the introduction of small-scale commercial uses within Fairport Village on a site-specific basis [clause (k)]; 8.6 clarify the circumstances under which bay-fill may be considered [clause (1)]; 8.7 provide direction on determining development limits on the lands known as "Coolwater Farms" [clause (m)]; and 8.8 providing minor rewording of existing clauses on a municipal boat launch and the Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail [clauses (n) and (o)]; Detailed Comments Vision the proposed Official Plan Amendment provides a strong policy foundation for guiding future private development and public infrastructure investment within the Waterfront Node as envisioned by the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review; the proposed amendment promotes the nautical heritage of the area including marine and marina-related uses; the amendment encourages a mix of uses including marinas, yacht clubs, marina- supportive facilities, public open space, residential, limited retail, offices, as well as lnfommtion Report No. 11-01 })age 4 ail other uses permissible within the Natural Areas anti Active Recreational Areas designations: based on comments to-date through Part 2 of the Rev:esr. there continues to be general support tbr the x is:on t~r the area: a comment received at the public meeting held during Part 2 Phase I of the Review suggested the "theme" tbr the area should rcr~r to a "Great Lakes Nautical Villas".

At that time, concerns were expressed regarding the waterfront comdor, stretching approximately 40 metres roland from the edge of }:rcnchman's Bay, running from the Front Street City Park to the bridge at Liveq, ool Road: at that time, some comments expressed concern th'at thc poll% did not sufficiently restrict lands adjacent to the waterfront tbr marina, manna-support, waterfront and public uses, and it was Ibared that the marina uses x~ill be lost: others believed there should be an opportunity to allow some redcxclopmcnt 2¢r additional uses xvithm this 40-metre wide comdor area providing publicl>-accossiblc spaces and amenities are provided; these opposing opinions appear to still be represented in thc comments received to-date during Part ' of the Rex icxx: accordingly, staff re-examined the issue but tbund thc policy approach similar to that recommended by staff in June 2000. best meets the overall objectives of creating a vibrant, active, mixed-use Waterfront Node.

Based on verbal comments received through Part 2 of the Review to date, this policy remains somewhat controversial: the intent of the clause, as modified by Council in June 2000, was to severely restrict proposals to fill along the edge of Frenchman's Bay when it was the "best" environmental benefit to Frenchman's Bay and its shoreline, and when it would be absolutely required to facilitate xvaterfront public amenities and pedestrian access. Some comments have suggested that the policy could be improved by providing better clarity on how to define the term "best enviromnental benefit". Further, some comments suggest there remains merit in allowing limited bay-fill along the shoreline to achieve public objectives within the Waterfront Node. Additional comments from the public, agencies and landowners are sought in this regard; Parking the proposed policy ~vill enable the City to use some nexv parking arrangements such as off-site parking, and formal on-street parking to serve the area; however, concerns regarding the adequacy of parking for the Waterfront Node continue to be expressed during work on Part 2 of the Review; several people objected to the suggestion that certain existing and future roads should accommodate on-street parking, and ~vere concerned that there may not be enough parking; providing adequate parking for the attractions, facilities and uses within the Waterfront Node ~vill be a collaborative effort between the City and other private landowners during the development of the area; the parking strategies included within the policy and the Development Guidelines are a "package" of opportunities, suggesting both on- and off-street parking; all will likely be required to accommodate future parking demand in this area of limited available land; and the parking situation will also need to be monitored over time; 4.2.7 4.2.8 Village of Fairport the proposed amendment encourages opportunities to rejuvenate the historic Village of Fairport by permitting small-scale commercial uses in conjunction with residential uses, subject to certain criteria and site-specific rezoning applications; Development Limits the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is undertaking some work, which may lead to new fill and flood lines, and an Environmentally Sensitive Areas designation on a portion of the lands known as "Coolwater Farms". This information is still in the early draft stages. Thus, a proposed clause (m) has been added to the draft amendment requiring the proponent, prior to the approval of a zoning by-law amendment, to confirm the developable area of the Coolwater Farms property with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority; Information Report No. 11-01 14i Page 6 4.,.) \Vctland tile report et' tile Biodivcrsitv Monitoring Program tbr tile Picketing Nuclear Site. prepared by tile Toronto and Region £'onscrvation Authority. incticates that the wetland evaluation record has been updated for thc provincially significant "H;,dro Marsh" x~ctland.

Paul Kelland, 921 Grenoble Blvd., questioned thc status of Part 2. He suggested re-examining cash-in-lieu of parking. Jacqucline Smart, 829 Fairview Ave., stated her concern that the marina could be eliminated and thrther stated that a nautical d~cme means boats and water. The plan should include zoning for an operational marina. She also stated her concern with the possible construction of a four stores' building which would then require landfill. Re-designation of zoning does not allow over development in this area.

Don Given, representing Harold Huff, Pickering Harbour Co. stated that an exiting and different type of development has been created at the bottom of Liverpool Road. He stated their appreciation with the way things have been handled by Councillors Holland and McLean. He would like certainty of what can happen in the area and stated that they presented a application that was viable for the area. He stated that change is inevitable and the residents are ready for change. He questioned what the implications are on Provincially significant wetlands. He requested that Council 'advise what uses they prefer and what's allowable. He suggested flexibility for retail along Liverpool Road. He advised that some building types may not be viable due to concerns relating to building and fire codes, and parking. He further advised that it is the intention of everyone to have a marina but this cannot be legislated. 10. Jacqueline Smart, advised that the by-law requiring planting has never been enforced on the Harbour Co. property. She agreed that a marina cannot be mandated but through the Official Plan marina land can be mandated. She stated that the Harbour Company holds the charter to the land below Frenchman's Bay and this charter makes the Harbour Co. responsible to maintain navigability to and from the Bay, which they are not. 11. Gary Peck, advised that Cool Water Farms are looking tbr a proponent. He would like to see a paragraph included that states what Council wants on these lands. 12. Don Given, advised that Mr. Huff stated that the charter does not say anything about obligations but rights. He further advised that Mr. Huff has maintained the entrance to the Bay. 13. Martin Herzog, Liverpool West Community Assoc., stated his pleasure in hearing there will be a marina. He would like to be assured that there will not be any residential use to the west of Liverpool Road. He suggested finding out what is required for a marina and working from there.

RPP Commissioner of Planmnq This application has been reviewed by the Reg;on and the fo'Jowing comments are offered with respect to the Regional Official Plan. other applicable Regional policies, and the proposed method of servicing. The purpose of the amendment is to impiemen: the land use designations and policies, contained in the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review Study. Specifically, to re-designate certain lands located south of Annland Street, west of Liverpool Road; land on the east side of Liverpool Road, south of Wharf Street; and lands on the east side of Liverpool Road known as "Coolwater Farms"i to "Open Space System - Marine Areas". In addition. ~he "'vL, etland" designation is being revised to reflect the lares', mapping of the "Hydro Marsh", a provincially significant wetland and various poiicies, applicable to area, are being amended as well. We note that the land south of Annland Street is also the subject of a related local official plan amendment and zoning by-law application to permit a marine village combining marina, hotel, residentia!, retail office and entertainment uses. More specifically, the proposal includes a townhouse Cevelopment consisting of 40 townhouse units and a block for mixea uses that may include a hotel / apartment (124 units) building with some commerc al off ce oppor~uniiies on the ground floor and a boardwalk. This area of Frenchman's Bay is designatea "VTaterfront Place" within the Durham Regional Official Plan. Waterfront Places are to be developed as "people places" with the exception of significant natural areas, which will be protected in their natural states. Waterfront development shall not negatively impact environmentally sensitive areas and wildlife habitat ~,~-¢, Section 14.3.9 of the Durham Regional Official Plan permits residential ~.~ "~' development, which supports and complements the predominant uses within the ,, Waterfront Servic~EXc~llence . Predominant uses may include marina, recreational, tourist, and for ou~::Community" 14,'3 Page 2 cultural and community uses, as wel as residential.and employment uses which support and complement the predominant uses The scale of development shall be based on and reflect the characteristics of each "Waterfront Place". In the review of development proposals within the Waterfront, the following should be considered: · Environmental constraints and opportunities; · Maximization of public access to the Waterfront Place: · Emphasis of the unique landscape features and heritage resources to strengthen community identity; · Development of east-west natural corridors to link Waterfront Places and natural areas along the waterfront and to develop north-south valley systems. These items wil be addressed through the development control guidelines and policies recommended in the Liverpool-Road South Area Detailed Review Study. In addition it is anticipated that Regional transportation and servicing requirements will be addressed through the processing of site specific development applications for lands within this area. Accordingly, this application is considered to have no significant Regional or Provincial concerns and, in accordance with Regional By-law 11-2000, is exempt from Regional Approval Please advise ihe Commissioner of Planning of your Council's decision. If Counci adopts an Amendment, a record must be submitted to this Department, within 15 days of the date of adoption.

The report is partially intended to clarify a number of issues not properly dealt with in the Official Plan and examines opportunities and constraints for development within the area and broad land use objectives. While your official plan provides direction on dealing with enwronmental protection and enhancement staff recommend that this phase 1 report outline environmental constraints that are particular to this neighbourhood study. We suggest the following: Section 5 - Detailed Land Use Plans: This section provides a synthesis of the natural heritage principles The synthesis should include the principle of protecting and enhancing the existing system. Perhapspnnc~pie8could be adapted to reflect this as a guiding principle. Precinct I - Hydro Marsh: While this area is a Provincially Significant wetland the referen:e to Class 2 should be removed as the class reference is no longer used by the prownce. Further, the development goal should note that th:s area ~s pa~ of tPe natura! nemage system and not ecological system. 'Ecological system' should be replacec v,'~tn 'natural nenta,ge system' in other sections of the report (i.e. precinct 2 and 3 lands). Precinct 4 Other uses suppo,qwe in :n~s area Jncluce ooat~ng aha recreational boating access and suppomve uses Precinct 5 The description of the area should include the waterfront and provincially significant wetland and note that some areas may be subject to lake level impacts. l Miss Catherine L. Rose -2- June 5, 2000 Section 6 - Development Guidelines 6.3 Development Framework Hydro Marsh Development Goal This Section should be revised to read "having significant ecological and public value". Beachfront Park This Section should be revised to include "while respecting its dynamic nature as a sand spit on the Lake Ontario Shoreline" Marina Mixed Use Development Goal These lands should also be developed in a manner that respects the adjacent wetland and its features and functions. It should also be designed to not have an impact on the areas subject to flooding as a result of high lake levels. As a general comment, the linkage between Frenchman's Bay as a boating tourism area and destination with a safe harbour entrance should be highlighted in the draft Detailed Land Use Plan and Implementation Strategy. Implementation Strategy 7.2.2. should be modified to read as follows: Through its .................. consider investigating further the establishment of a boat launch at the foot of Sandy Beach Rd. on the west side of Ontario Power Generator - Pickering Nuclear. Section 7.2.3. should be modified to read: Ensure any proposal for bay-fill is designed to facilitate waterfront public amenities and pedestrian access, and to improve environmental conditions ........... As per our discussion we note that a new section addressing environmental impacts will be added to the document. This section will further outline the principle of protecting the natural heritage system including Frenchman's Bay and Hydro Marsh and will outline that further assessment is required to determine the impacts of increased boating uses within Frenchman's Bay. We await the addition of this section and note that it is important to provide future direction to the study process. We trust that this is of assistance.

ROAI) 1)ESI(;N Dear Catherine After attending last nights meeting on the Liverpool Road l)esigu node, I revisited the tinal Mayor's Task Force Report anti noted the checklist on page 31 for a successful design of the Liverpool Roatl Tuurism Node. I must say that the consultants and planning staff have done an excellent ,job addressing issues such as treatnlellt of the Liverpool Road strcetscape from l~a~ h' to Commerce, developing the Fairport Village theme, landscaping and eliminatio;i of above ground hydro lines. This brings me to the area south of (:ommerce, which presents the most challenge. Under the title, Public Access to the "Aater's edge on page 33, the task l'orcc reporl states that: "People come to the water's edge to eujo.;' the breeze ami the boats.., with proper design, the ware(/font prolnenade can become tile area 5 main street. Streetscape win be an e.rtreme(l' important attractioH with xttc'h amenities light-posg~ sporting hanging plants ami theme hauuer~, p/us s'eatiug areas immediately beside the promenade. Olltdoor re,staliraltt .Setll[llg area~' encourage the public to ~strO' longer. Boutiques, antiques, al7 and crqft shops should also do well." The above picture of a tourist node oriented t(mard Frenchman's Bax' is in direct contrast to the commercial en~phasis/ nautical village nm~ bcin; l)rop{~scd beside Liverpool Road with much mute limited vie~'s and access through developed areas to the water. I submit that the elimination in the guideline of a pedestrian l)romcnadc in close proximity to the water's edge is an incorrect direction t, take. \~,c don't have to create an artilicial nautical village along l~ivcrpo,l Road. \\c rio have the opportunity to experience a Great Lakes Nautical Village along Frenchnmn's Bay through all stakeholders working together to paint the picture. The draft report suggests that thc pedestrian promenade was deleted because of lack of public support. I believe that comments at a prexious meeting were /~TTACHMENT# /~ TO REPORT ~ PD_ '~?~ -~ i misunderstood. I have serious concerns about use of bay-fill in order to accommodate the pedestrian trail on Pickering Harbour Co~npany Lands. I would not be opposed to constructing portions of this promenade on pilings, in order to create an appropriate edge to the bay and promenade. More discussion is reqnired on the topic of bay-fill by all stakeholders as this topic continues to be a major topic of concern by members of the public. Please note that I do support deletion of section C1.4.6 titled Deveh)pment within the Waterfront Use and Amenity area, The real challenge is to design the area south of Commerce to ensure that first anti foremost, viable working marinas can exist while allowiug appropriate mixed use commercial residential activities to occur on lands surplus to active marina operations in close proximity to the water's edge. I strongly believe that the emphasis must be on directing people as quicldy as possible from Liverpool Road to the water. This can be done along pathways between buildings fronting on Liverpool Road. IE IF A BUILDING IS PLACED AT A 45-DEGREE ANGLE TO LIVERPOOL ROAD, PATIO AREAS CAN BE CREATED IN 'FILE CORNERS, MORE LIGHT GETS TO LIVERPOOL ROAD, AND PATtIWAYS CAN FOLLOW BUILDINGS TO THE WATER. This type of design also awfids the creation of a tunnel along Liverpool Road, opening views in the middle of the blocks to the water. It is the water and presence of active boating activities that is the unique attraction. It is the water that will bring tourists to Picketing. It is the attraction of sitting by the water, perhaps on the deck of a restaurant partly on top of the water (Ontario Place) that will entice Picketing residents to patronize future commercial establishments. It is the separation of traffic on Liverpool Road from people and the lure of views of water and boats that will create a unique environment to which people will come again and again. It is the attraction of residents and tourists to this area that will bring business success to landowners. BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER, I SUBMIT THAT ALL STAKEIIOLDERS MUST REVISIT AND AGREE ON WHAT THE PRIORITIES ARE FOR THIS AREA. I WILL DISCUSS SIX ITEMS ITEMS AS FOLLOWS: REJUVENATING THE MARINA AREA, ENSURING AND SETTING OUT A WORKPLAN TO ADDRESS THE HARBOUR ENTRANCE ISSUE, DISCUSSION OF FUNDING OPTIONS, INCLUDING ri'HE DETERMINING THROUGH DISCUSSION THE CURRENT POSITION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERMEMENT, ENSURING THAT AN UNDERSTANDING EXISTS AS TO HOW ONGOING COSTS OF HARBOUR OPERATION, DREDGING ETC WILL BE HANDLED AND ENSURING THAT TRANSIENT DOCKING IS AVAILABLE TO 2 o STIMULATE I)AYTIME/O\q~RNIGI1T NEIGIIBOURIN(; ItARIlO UI~,S. \'ISITORS FROM DESIGNING A TOURIST NODE AROI!NI) Tttl.] ACTIVE MARINA INTERESTS AND :\SSOCIATEI) INFR.&STI;It CTt;RE W}IICII INCLUDES AN APPROPR1ATt~' 51IX OF COMMERCIAL/RESTAUI~ANT/RESII)F~NTI:\I, / 5, ES ON LANI)S SURI'LUS TO ACTIVE .NIARINA OPER:\q'I()NN IN ('()NIIIINATION wIrFII A I'EI)ESTRIAN PR()5IENAI)E (ACFIN(; ..\S :\ 51AIN STREET) IN CLOSE PROXISIIF'h' T() TIlE MAI{IN.\/X\ .\TEP,'S F.I)(iE. o ENSURING THAT S151lrLTANE()I'SLX,' \VITtt I)I(VEI_OI'MENT OF TIlE WATERFRONT NOI)E, A SEI':\IIATI~ t'I~,O('ESN (}CCI~RS WItlCII WILL RESULT IN TIlE REHABILITATION OF I:RI~]N(/IlMAN'S BAY AS A HEALTItY ECOSYSTENI ANI) ('()RI~I']CT EXISTING DEFICIENCIES IN STOR~IXVATER ~I:XN..X(;E~II,;N-I'.

Planning around an active marina is a yeO, complex pr~ccss. Before any phinni~g should occur on the area around the active marina area, all stakeholders must a~rec on the opti~num scale uf marina activities and tl~c infrastructure requirements associated with the successhil operation of marina facilities. It is imperative that Picketing }larbour Company provide this information.

After marina infrastructure requirements are determined, what land is available for mixed-use residential development? What scale of development is required to support underground parking for uses of mixed-use buildings? How can appropriate screening be put in place to separate any boat servicing or storage contemplated at this site from the rest of the site? Are density transfers appropriate, to optimize the design of the site and provide incentives both for underground parking and private contributions toward funding of a pedestrian promenade? What is the estimated cost of harbour entrance improvements and what funding is required from the federal and provincial governments tls a prerequisite to harbour development and implementing the approved Liverpool Road Design Study? As an immediate challenge, as part of discussing how an active marina will flmction on the bay, it is imperative that handling of dredged material be reviewed, with the objective of removing trucks from the east spit and millennium square. This topic should be discussed further between the Waterfront Coordinating Committee, Picketing Harbour Company and Dr. Nick Eyles. DESIGNING THE TOURISM NODE I submit, that it is only with a full understanding of the requirements for successful marina operation and with the full participation of the land owners in expressing their objectives for development for their properties, that a a successful public design exercise can occur, which will both set out how the area will function (i.e. parking, pedestrian flow, bicycle flow, trail location etc) and the role of government in working with private landowners to accomplishing the vision. The final Liverpool Road Design Guideline must be a blueprint which the City anti landowners can take forward to the province and the federal governments as part of a formal request for financial support where required (harbour entrance, bay rehabilitation). Some numerical quantification of anticipated benefits would be useful in support of this type of application, particularly as it pertains to the funding requested for harbour facilities. Discussion must be initiated now with the Federal Government, to ensure that their position on various issues is known at the outset. REHABILITATION OF THE BAY The design guideline identifies on page D-2 several steps currently ongoing through the Waterfront Coordinating Committee to rehabilitate the Bay. The list was uot intended to be complete, but there is a danger with the wording of some of the existing points, in that the actions enumerated here only those currently planned. I would suggest that reference be changed to: 4 ,:,TT,'AOH!:IEI'~T # / cTO ;EPORT # PD.

This wording should be in addition t{~ the scc~)ntt point m~ pa¢c I)-2. TIIE WATEI~d:RONT TRAIL My vision of the waterfront trail omtinnes lo inchldc the ot'licial pedestrian portion of the waterfront trail as close as possihle to the x~ater with hicxclcs ~}n Liverpool Road. I)iscussion must occur with each landoxx'ner :ts to how this can be implemented on individual prol)erties. The original xx(~rding on this t{}pic xxas appropriate. This topic requires t'urther discussion xxith thc stakch(ddcrs, through the design process. As ! said at Tnesday's meeting, thc deletion of trails on thc east spit apl)cars preclude the fcrmtmat connection across the spit. With respect to thc h~rm of pedestrian promenade on the east spit, the Nlayor's Task Force envisioued a trail adjacent to transient docking in ti~is area. If transient tlocliing will not occur in this area, then a much simpler and less expensive trail would he p(~ssil)le in conjuncti(~n with renaturalization of the east spit. It is important to note that the vistas north and south from the east spit have not been identified in thc plan. l:urthcr, in conjunction with the harbour entrance, sonic limited c{~mmcrcial dcxch~pmcnt, small museum structure may be appropriate at the end o~' the cast spit in conjunction with a seating area for i)c~i, lc to xx'atch the treats c(,mc in. Have we explored the potential for a very simple and incxl)cnsixc trail along the north side of Frenchman's Bay, so a famih' can xv,'tlk around this area? ()ntari~ llydro owns most of this land, ;~nd with short hoardx~allis in :t t'c;x places a short interpretive loop would be created around llvdr~ 51arsh. LIVERI)OOL ROAI) In summa~?, I am in agrcemcnt ;vith thc strcct~capc treatment ttoxvn to Commerce Street. My vision sees shifting of the focus of thc t~urism nmlc to thc west side of buildings on the Picketing Harbour land adjacent to an active marina and the water, thereby separating people from cars :ts much :is lmssiblc. :\t the last Waterfront Coordinating Committee Meetin~g I tabled s{~mc ph~tos fr~}m Bronte IOakville) Port Credit, and Etobicoke of building dcsik, ns, x~hich xxork :dong their ATTACHMENT # / c) TO t~PORT # PD '--/~ - ~; / waterfronts. I believe that these same sorts of design (ON A SMALLER SCALE with maximum height to be agreed at the outset) should be considered as part of a mixed use design concept for lands identified as surplus to those required fin' ongoing marina operation, providing parking is accommodated with each buiiding's underground. The height of buildings is a major concern of residents. I believe tha! it is possible to define geometrically a plan, where one or two taller (5 straw ahove underground parking on north side) buildings can be accommodated in a way that will avoid any negative impact (shadows etc) on the residential community to tile north in an aesthetically pleasing way. This type of arraugement was negotiated in consultation with a community on tile north side of Highway 2 a few years ago where similar concerns existed from residents. Further consultation should occur with the neighbourhood, on any specific proposals that any landowner would like to see incorporated in the design guideline. Of particular note is the potential fin- decks overlooking the bay and terracing of a building toward the water. (see pictures of Bronte Harbour building provided at last meeting). Restaurant uses could be accommodated within such a design, with decks overlooking the bay. Mixed use at grade should be a requirement in this area. PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUTURE PUBLIC BOAT LAIINCilING The Mayor's Task Force spent considerable time on the topic of a public boat launch. It is imperative that fisherman and other tourists have an appropriate place to launch boats. Marina operators indicated that they did not want to provide this type of facility in the long-term, due to parking requirements. Tile elimination of unofficial boat launching from locations such as the west spit is imperative if our recreation objectives in "Rotary Fairport Beach Park" are to be achieved. In looking around for alternate locations, the Front Road location was rejected as unacceptable for launching motorized craft, due to lack of parking, and a serious concern about launching motorized craft into Frenchman's Bay as close to thc marsh complex. After visiting nearby boat launching facilities, such as those at Bluffers Park, the need for adequate parking was reinforced, as was the need fi~r protection from waves when launching directly into Lake Ontario. After an extensive review of alternate locations, two were identified. The first was east of the Nuclear Station toward the Ajax Border. This location was rejected by PARU due to the time requirement for them to respond from Frenchman's Bay to any emergency, and distance to Frenchman's Bay in the event that small boats needed to find a safe harbour in a storm. Tile second location identified was at the foot of Sandy Beach Road on land owned by Ontario Hydro. The.main attractions of this area include: 1. Half of the berm required to provide protection from waves already exists as a result of design of the nuclear station. 6 157 2. Parking h)ts exist on the Ontario H~'dro property Iha! arc largely ctnpty on weekends. Items 1 and 2 combined ~sill contribute lo substantially lower construction costs. 3. This area is easily accessible from Santh Beach Road for vehicular traffic, therefore keeping boat trailers off l~ix'crpo(}l Ru:ut 4. ~Fhe use of this area as a boat launch, with its i)'wliin,,, ~ lois etc. reinforced Sandy Beach Road as another gatcx~ :0 t~ our x~ alcrfr(}nt. it must be emphasized that Ontario lh'dro ~xas approached on this h~catimi, and did indicate that it could be made available xxhen the T(m'n x~i~hcs to proceed with development. While development of this facility inav nut uccur immediately, the Official Plan should preserve this usc for thc future. I recognize that in the last m'o months, ()ntario llvdro Il:ts indicated a desire to construct a windmill in this ioctUion. I believe that through [)r~l)cr design, both activities can be accommodated. I'ROVII)ING WATERFRONT I~,ECREATI()N ()PPOI~TI'NI'I'II.:S Another topic, which received considerable discussion as part ~f thc 51avor's Task Force process, was the future construction of a facilitx fi,r thc R(m'ing Clul) currently housed in trailers on the %%rest si) it. I believe that an al)PrOl)riatc location may exist within the design area for this type of facilitx and t)clicx'c that watching rowing is another activity that would draw people to this area. ~pccifically, coulda small clubhouse facili~ be accommodated in Front Rm~d Parlc adjacent to the dock faciliD' ~ ()~r proposed? It may also be appropriate to accolnln(}datc x~'indsurfers and other small craft users in this facility. In conclusion, the Mayor's Task Force went as far as it could, but not all residcnt~ were able to participate in its deliberations. Die task fi~rcc recommended thc current process, so that till of the stakeholders could particip:ltc, determine how parking could be shared, traffic tlow would occur, I)uihtin~ massing shouhl occur, a pedestrian promenade couhl be implemented and marina interests would be rejuvenated. We have a.target to have the final design studx c~mplete in June. I am requesting that all stakeholders p:lrticipate together to establish a solid l)lanning guideline and frameworldfimetablc within which thc land~mncrs :ire prepared to proceed to create the Liverpool Tourist Node, tis thc unique U~urist destination and commercial success which the Task Force envisioned.

Ms. Fleming was unable to attend the public meeting, but telephoned with these comments. As a conservationist, it is Ms. Fleming's opinion that major changes in fauna are occurring in the Bay. The noise pollution caused by power launches will affect the wildlife in the area. A widening of the channel, or a change in the configuration of the lakeshore will also negatively effect wildlife in the area. Rather than allow lbr the intensification of land use in the area, it is Ms. Fleming's opinion that the best use of the land is of a more natural and relaxed nature. S.D.

I would tike to pro,ride you with my thoughts, expressed during our meeting, as to why I believe the development I would propose for the Pickering Harbour lands makes sense, both to the developer and to the City of Pickenng. I lly l)preciaethe history 0fttfis site, hzvinR re¥iewed all 0fthe pertinent materials, reports, However, I firmly believe that in order to re~h a mearting'ful conclus/on to the issues that separate the interested par'tics, it is important to understand and state for thc re,rd, that in order for thc City' of' Pickenng to truly realize the potential of the Liverpool Koad ~'ea, and to ~,,'e positive effect to the overall plans for the area, it would be a tremendous advantage to have the Picketing Harbour lands in production. Our architect and I have worked up a preliminary proposal, and you have a copy of the initial layout drawings, which we believe w/il provide the economic b,,se for ,chievin8 some, if not all of the City's objectives, even if they do not take the exa~ form proposed in some of the i~guage currently in the draft changes to thc Official Plan, I have listed below thos~ benefits I believe will be available if our development concept is entertained. I would like to further our plan,,, and I m working on "off site" boat ~torage because I believe that this aspect of land us~ is detrim,mtal astetica{ly, to both development on the site and in the area where the city is spending so much money to Create a pleasant "people place". I further believe tMt it im important to create a strong residential component in order to foster a year round ~nvirorun~t. As ion8 as wc find a pra~ioal solution to maintaining thc marina, redevelopment of thc subjccrt lands will c~inly create a vePy ~pe~M over,,ll environment. Isn't. it worth working together to achieve goals rather than have confrontation thrnugh opposition to the Official Plan that will most certainly happen unless we can get our respective interests on the same side of the table. From my viewpoint, what I am proposing is similar to a number of fine examples in Ontario that ~xist and have been very succesl~ful. Politics aside, good planning brings results. Please consider wh,,t I have proposed and I will look fo~ard to f~rthedn8 our proposal at the earliest possible dater M~Y--~I--~I ~ :~ ~M LUCKS PROPERTIES ~ ~2~6~ p. ~ 1 7© BENEFITS TO LAND USE CONCEPT- ?ICKEKING HAKBOUR LANDS Thc City of Pickcring's desire to open up the vista toward the Lake from Liverpool Road toward the South is a great idea. The City's investment ~d works on thc waterfront are in a large measure something that will attract developers into the ares as investors. Such investment will enhance what is planned for the overall area, The making of a public place will only have more impact ir'there is a strong residential component that extends the use of the waterfront beyond Summer/seasonal use, It is important and imperative to bring people into the area for more than just Summer activity. The insistence of continulng m~i~a operations with outside boat storage mitigates against the very cosmetic work the City is doing. Rather, getting the boat storage away from the water's edge will serve to enh~ce the view and character of the waterfront as a people place. The site plan and design criteria we have in mind will give a very positive benefit to thc community, support the Liverpool Road streetscape, and enhance the investment the City is making in the area. What we are proposing does not involve filling in the bay, but does feature an improvement in the water line and boat slips, which will visually Nd functionally enhance the shoreline, 9 10 11 For retail, to work in the area, it must be water related. Thus our concept allows for some offiee,/retail, oriented to marine and se, uonal uses, supported, in part, by the residential uses on site and in the ~rea. Our proposal creates the financial basis for glowing the continuance of marina related operations and the very rr~ina itsdf, by reducing the land area dedicat~t to this purpose, and adding residential owners who themselves may very well have boats in the marina. Area security would atso improve duc to thc presence of year round o¢cuparrts. Our development wlU be themed along the nautical concept, ~d feature some of the ~ame rmlor and design features which the City has in~rporated into the public areas, as well as a continuation of ~ome of the features propos~ along Liverpool Road. We like some of the design concepts proposed for the area. If Picketing Harbour Company were to do nothing, then the Liv~ool Road concept has little chance of taking on the signiticance ~visioned by your consultants. Our planned development will significantly enhance the streets~ape, and in faa, contribute to the whole area. The mrthlteetural feature we have proposed for our development create a strong physi~ balance when viewed fromthe water or the West side of the bay. This will add a dynamic dimension to the overall d~velopment of Frenchman's Bay area. Our planned people promenade extending from Liverpool Road to the bay is a significant feature to thc development and axes, and supports some of the view connections that are contained in the ?~ One- Phue One Report.

Prcsidcnt Jmes Lucas Prol mes Limited Lucas Properties Inc, 174 JAMES LUCAS PROPERTIES LTD. WORKING PAPER PROPOSED LAND USES LIVERPOOL ROAD CITY OF PICKERING May 30, 2001 Introduction: James Lucas Properties Limited is a full service development company. Our strength is in the conceptual planning, development, and management of commercial and residential projects. By way of example, our most recent project is The Garden Homes of Lome Park, a twenty four home, high end, empty nester- bungalow development, nestled in the old Lorne Park area of Mississauga Designed by Michael Spaziana, Architect. The property was a challenging site, in a very well established location with very strong community involvement. The project was very successful, and was awarded the Urban Design Award of Merit for Community Context. Our extensive work with the conununity and representatives of the Planning Dept. in the City of Mississauga, resulted in one hundred percent community and Council support. In April, 2001, Picketing Harbour Company approached us with a view to development of their property fronting on Liverpool Road. Since that time, we have studied the various reports prepared for the City of Picketing, inclusive of Part One - Phase One Report, Part Two- Phase One Report, and Part Two- Phase Two Report. We have had extensive discussions with various parties involved, inclusive of other land owners, businesses in the area, and representatives of the City of Pickering. We realized that plans for the area were being developed very quickly, and that City initiated proposed amendments to the Official Plan were being pressed along for adoption by mid-June, 2001. That did not leave much time for planning and response. We had climbed onto a "moving train". However, based on our research we did prepare a preliminary land use proposal which was predicated on securing off site boat storage. That plan was reviewed in a meeting on April 27,2001 with Catherine Rose and Ron Taylor of the Picketing Planning Department. That meeting was followed up with a memo to Catherine Rose dated May 1,2001, outlining our concerns and reasons why we felt that our land use plan for the marina were beneficial for the City and the Liverpool Road concept. Subsequent telephone calls to Ron Taylor went unanswered. Then, on May 8,2001, we attended a public information meting in the Council Chambers, and received a copy of Part Two - Phase Two Report, which we only had a few minutes to read before it was presented by representatives of the Planning Dept. The report was quite disturbing. Others were equally concerned, and some have written outlining their views. The Report fails to maintain many of the recommendations set out in the Part One - Phase One report, and seems also to reverse some of the more acceptable provisions of the Part Two - Phase One Report. The proposals as they now stand, severely restrict land uses in the area because they may be skewed toward political objectives rather than balanced overall planning incorporating those natural market needs and trends for properties such as are located in the Liverpool Road area. This will certainly lead to an objection and appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board. Further, the proposals create "conflict of uses" within the area. Trying to force development of retail and/or office space within residential town homes, creates parking needs that result in a town home "sandwiched" between a public road and significant parking to the rear, ,TO 175 Pg. 2 thus adversely impacting on the quality of' life of the inhabitants The units will cost more to build, and thus purchase, and may place an owner in the position ofhavimz to lease out retail space. Unless tile purchaser happens to ox~n a retail business that will work in this marC:et, he/she may have to find another tenant and become a landlord The subsequent tax liability both in terms of increased municipal taxes, and/or the impact ct' classification ct'the home as a revenue t~roducing entity,' all create serious financial consequences f'or an ox~ner Liverpool Road terminates at tile lake, and has vinuallx nu retail potential In fact. the Part One - Phase One Report specifically comments on the limited potential for retail itl this area That report also pointed out the there is limited residential potential, unless a project has a strong umque character that attracts people to it. We concur. The "fbrced" continuance of marina outside storage, m conjunction ~ith the manna operations, and the reference to maintaining the area as a workintz waterfront, will sev,'e to create operational problems in a mixed use property and mitigate against public enjoyment of the watert'ront area The earlier concept cfa public walkway along the waterfront portion of the lands would cause conflict oF use between public and private marina operations. We realize that the walkway may now be varied and in part be located along Liverpool Road, and that one of the features of our plan, ie. to incorporate public access and views from Liverpool Road toward the bay may now be acceptable to the City This was a concept supported by the Part One- Phase One Report. As we examined the various points of view, and the objectives we understand are paramount to the City's plans, we came to the conclusion that it might be possible to bring tbr~vard a land use plan that incorporates many of the objectives, design, and other land use interests, while at the same time, be based on solid project/development economics that will work in the market, provided all pames are genuinely.' interested in working together and willbe reasonable. We are not prepared to provide our concept plans and not hear back, only. to find that the proposed amendments have been changed to preclude our revised scheme. This makes the exercise with City of Pickering representatives very suspect, to put it bluntly Simply stated, if the City were to persist in the current context of'their comments and proposed amendments, the approved land use concepts may never be realized because developers and property owners simply will walk away from investing in development that w/Il not work in the market OVERALL AREA CONSIDERATIONS Today, we are again presenting a refined land use proposal that we believe has a lot of merit The purpose of this presentation is to create meaningful dialogue before more reports are written, and it is our sincere desire to work together to achieve mutually acceptable, market based, proposals Residential- Our plan provides for 69 town homes, all with a reasonable view of Frenchman's Bay This allows proper sound economic development. The town homes that are to be located along Liverpooi Road, will maintain the streetscape proposed by Markson, Borooah, Hodgson, but on sound economic basis. We want to discuss some additional design concepts for our street related units There is no provision for retail space in the units However, because the homes will incorporate a "home 17G Pg. 3 office" space designated at the street side of the unit, the main living floor area of the unit will be above grade. This concept allows for a deck to be incorporated at the rear of the unit over top of the garage, thus facing toward the bay. The garage would be at the rear of the unit, behind the "home office" space. We do not agree with a rear lane and a separated free standing garage which leads to owner inconvenience, and snow removal and maintenance problems. The street related units may also have a "loft" area which also allows for ~ome additional views of the lake and potential for a balcony from a principal bedroom The overall residential development will have a nautical theme, promoting the nautical village concept forming part of the Markson, Borooah, Hodgson Report. Public access- Rather than have a conflicting walkway along the waterfront, we propose to incorporate a "promenade" extending from Liverpool Road toward the bay, culminating at an architectural feature that looks out onto the bay. This architectural feature will create a significant vista of the bay and surrounding marina, the spit, etc., and be a pleasant feature visible from the west side of the bay. This we believe will have appeal to the community. Another unique aspect to the proposed promenade is that it will intersect with Liverpool Road in a strategic area,/,riving more impact to the Streetscape and interaction between the development and the street. It will also afford the proposed town homes (Mr. Winter's development), on the East side of Liverpool Road, some improved marketing stature in that several of these units will look through our proposed promenade toward the bay. There will be a natural flow from Liverpool Road into the development and back again to Liverpool Road. With our functional design concept, there will not be any conflict with marina operations or the on site residential uses. This works well for all concerned. As discussed previously, we fully intend to incorporate some of the architectural features which the City has used in Millennium Square into our project. By way of example, the interlocking stone, colours, lighting, and banners. The banners will direct people on site, and identify marina operations. Marina- The Pickering Harbour Marina will be maintained. There will be some cosmetic improvements to the marina slips, and shoreline (no filling is contemplated), except to top dress the edge of water and make it safe and operational. Off site storage is a part of our marina use plan. There will be a dock manager's office, and we have incorporated a marine supply store. This is the logical place for such a store, in easy access of boaters. There would also be laundry and washroom facilities. Perhaps, we can incorporate a "caf6", and other small seasonal water related retail units. This aspect would be a function of more refined design and market study as to feasibility. We have incorporated sufficient marina related land area, which will be accessed from a new boat launch isle- way leading from Liverpool Road along the South boundary of the property, down to the bay. The boat launch equipment will thus be in a safe area, out of view, and cross Liverpool Road at a location that is very feasible in relation to the streetscape. All residential units will be North of this access route and not impacted by continuing marina operations. Off site storage- The Coolwater property has been secured under contract of sale. We have some ideas for this property in 1 77 Pg. 4 addition to the controlled use for' boat storage dunng the Winter Specificali}, To modilX' the design of the existing or'rice structure with a nautical desiun m support of the area's overall theme ~' To upgrade the existing building to serve Pickerm,.z, itarbour Company office needs, boat storage administration, and boat service The existin~ buil~in= has three ~zara~e doors allowing minor boat servicing. ~[o use part of the office building to house Swans Marina ~ales office, with display of their new boats/bt sale on the asphalt area in front of the building Swans no~ lease land and boat launch services fi-om Picketing Harbour Company, and we have assured Mr Lutmer that his interests ~ill be protected in our plans· This will also improve the use of facilities on the Swans Marina property and reliexe congestion. City parking- Assuming our development is approved, ,ae plan to allocate a portion of'the prope<y for public parking, under a nominal lease agreement with the City of Pickenng. in the same area which the City pre~,4ously maintained public parking This v~qll serve to satisfy the City's parkinu needs Some boats could be stored on this area dunng the Winter, but made available early in e~ach Spnn~ for on-going use by the City· To fill in the existing in-ground storage tanks on the property and use the new surface area for boat storage. Our contemplated uses for the Coolwater property are environmentally ffiendlv,_ maintain existing buildings, will clean up unsightly tanks and material on the site, and x~ith new exterior treatment, cont'orm to the overall architectural theme being proposed tbr the area In addition, our contemplated use ~ilI serve Swans Marina, and have significant positive impact for the public throuuh mqproved area ambiance and thus public enjoyment ~ Concerns: Based on our experience to date, the out come of our earlier meetinu with the Git,,', and general information we have obtained in meetings ~Mth area representatives, ~7e understand tl~at current proposed changes to the Official Plan are politically motivated, and are in response to earlier proposed development plans tabled by Pickering Harbour Company and 5,'lr Joe \Vinters for their respective properties On May 10,2001, l attended a meeting ofWate~ront Coordinatinu Committee members, chaired by Councilor Mark Holland During that meeting we outlined our concerns, arid so did others who have financial interests in the area. This meeting was a good opportunity for an exchange of views There was a positive tone to the meeting and generally everyone seemed to be v, dlling to work totzether to brin~z about a well conceived set of proposed amendments and land use plans To that end,~Councilor M;rk Holland agreed that it may be worthwhile to ask Council to defer adoption of the proposed amendments until their Sept. meeting, thus allowing more time for additional planning We have set up a meeting x~dth Mark Holland for June 8,2001. In the meantime, Planning Staffrequested an earlier meeting to take place on Slay 30, 2001. We have agreed on the clear understanding that Councilor Holland is aware of the meeting We will keep our meeting with Councilor Holland as scheduled for June 8 Pg. 5 With respect to the current stage of the proposed amendments, we want to offer the following comments; 1 The Picketing Harbour Company have certain tights of ownership. Amendments to the Official Plan that will diminish these tights without agreement with Picketing Harbour Company, will certainly be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. 2 The purpose of the effort we have made to date, as quickly as possible, is defined as being with the intent to resolve land use plans tbr the marina property, on the clear understanding that it is intended to maintain the marina operation as long as economically feasible in the market. There is no underlying plan to terminate or reduce the marina, except with respect to relocation of the boat storage operations. 3 The in-fill proposal for the bay is not part of our plans, and once agreement is reached on the form of our intended development, the current zoning application before the City for the Picketing Harbour marina property, will be amended and substituted with a new plan for the property. 4 It is fully intended to develop a consensus for the property that has the benefits outlined above for area residents and the City. 5 Pickering Harbour Company, through development of it's marina lands will create the "village" atmosphere articulated in the various reports. Without this development, the village will really not have any substance. 6 With our contemplated form of development, the Coolwater lands will be upgraded, put to the best use, and allow for boat storage to be placed in an appropriate area relative to the long term best interests of the City and area residents. 7 Debate with Picketing Harbour Company as to land use and marina will be put to rest and thus foster better understanding and relations as to other Pickering Harbour Company ownership in the area, and as to how the ultimate navigation of Frenchman's bay will be facilitated. 8 The marina lands will be appropriately developed, the marina operation will be upgraded, there will not be a conflict of use on the lands, the Millennium Square project will have additional private investment and support. East Spit: The Part Two - Phase Two report - contains a land use proposal under C1.3. l -Natural Areas and Open Space. This proposal is entirely unacceptable in it's present form. Specifically, it proposes - "vehicular access to the East Spit and Beachfront Park shall be restricted to emergency vehicles and maintenance equipment". Picketing Harbour Company owns a major part of the East Spit and access to these lands are protected at law. This property is used by Picketing Harbour Company to facilitate operation of it's marina, and to maintain navigation to the bay. Accordingly, there can be no limitation on access. Recent improvements to create Millennium Square appear to have been designed to limit such access. By agreement with the City, Picketing Harbour Company's ownership fence has been temporarily removed to allow the City of Picketing to complete it's improvements, on the clear understanding that access will be protected. Picketing Harbour Company is not prepared to accept the above contemplated change and will appeal any such language to the Ontario Municipal Board. 17fl Pg 6 Councilor McLean in his Ward 2 - Spring and StJmmer Nexvslet~er, commented" There have been innovative ideas presented to council by staff for Liver~oc~l Road that could create a waterfront area tha~ is for people not town homes This area is now being referred to as a Great Lakes Nautical Village with a vision of creating a small downtown with a southern Ontario nautical theme" \Ve submit- that town homes ora scale, density, and harn~onious design, do noi take away fi-om, tx.~ rather add to the "village" concept We do riot understand xxha~ Cou~cil~ McLean means bv a "-small downtown" because there will not be any, significant developmem that x~ill contribute ~o a downtown type of area. If, in fact, town homes are not permitted on an acceptable, market reality based concept, then the area will remain as it is now, with some City fi. reded cosmetic improvement, leadin~ to a public park We simply do not understand how this amounts to either a village or a downtown enx'ironmen~ By the way, people live in town homes These uses are not mutually exclusive Land use designations: To reach consensus, we propose the following Marina Property That residential development be permitted, as contemplated in the dra~ving submitted today for 69 townhouse units, and that marina use is also permitted Coolwater Property That office, marina, marina related outside storage, parking, and marina related service bays, be permitted. 3 The East Spit That the East Spit private land continue as permitting marina, manna related and manna support uses, including improvements to navigation of Frenchman's Bay. and tt~at continued access (which exist at law), be re-affirmed With the above in place and framed within the proposed amendments and language related thereto, we will have the basis of agreement, and positive results for all concerned The City of' Pickenn~ will not have compromised their overall objectives for the area, and will have opened the door for good cooperative dialogue in the future. We will take the initiative and invest the t/me and effort it x~511 take to brin~. community interests up to speed and gain their support ~ Yours sincerely, James Lucas President James Lucas Properties Limited. 150 _TO ~EPORT # PD_ ,k'~-2 - o / JAMES LUCAS PROPERTIES LIMITED 2005 Parklane er., Burlington, Ontario, 905,319,2060 June 20, 2001 WORKING PAPER - PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT- LIVERPOOL ROAD- PICI(ERING, ONTARIO. TO: MEMBERS OF P,A.C,T. C/O MR, DAVYD STEELE MEMBERS OF PE, S,C,A. C,/O MK PAUL KELLAND Gentlemen, and Members In accordance with your request, I am pleasd to provide the following overview of our plannd developm~t for me ~ch now o~pied by Eag Shor~ Marina on Liverpool Road, By way of introduction, I would like to d~s;rlbe how hms Lu~ Properties Limited csme to be involved. ~, Harold Hough was introduced to me by ~ mutual friend/consultant that has advised both ofus for many years. He f~lt that wc would be lbl¢ to work togeth~, TN., has provd to be thc cag. From thc outgt, Mr, Hough ha demonstrl~ a r~fl desir~ to ~ the property d~veloped in a quality manet Ut will support the longer tm'm goals of the City of Pkkcring and the surrounding community. I haw invested over two months learning the hi~lory of this area., studying the various reports prepared by ltants to the City, and in mgtings with vm0us lg0pl¢ '0m th; ~ommunity, ~ pl~ ~v; gvo~v~ Eom this research, coaun~aa w~ haw r~..~iv~l from various interested people, and of course, meetings with repr~'ntatiws ofth~ Ciw of Pi¢kering Planning IL.,pmmcnt, Further, the d~vclopmmt pl~ w~ tabled at ~ Wat~.~fi'ont ¢ommittm m~ting on Thursday, June 14,2001 is bssed on carfful and ~ensive study on how to ~sur¢ the continuing marina olgrati0ns are saf~ and work prop;fly, I'r01 i a won two I ig Aw a in for ~ innovative rc'tai developm~ in 1987, and the latest in 1991~ for a unique rdclcntial project known as Th~ Cn, rdm Homes of Lome Park, Our architect on both oftheg ventures is Michael Spuisni, Michael has been involv~ with Live~001 Road site as our proj~t architect. Mike hi/ii very good grup of commuffity i~sues, and is fully informgl on the Picketing waterfi'ont plans, and the importance of the subject prolgrty, He ha~ attended a numb~ of the mcetinss in the are, a, in~lusiw of several with the Planning Dept., and his spent considerable time working with us on developmm concepts, layout, and marina op~tio~ ssp~s, THE PROJECT: The subj~-t lands are in a strategic location in relation to thc overall development of a vlabl~ "village" as ~.vi~iond by the consult.nra working for the City of Picketing, Fundamental to our plan is th~ rmention of a "working and viable marina". It has been decidiXl to relocate thos~ portions of marina operations that are Ix~', a~ l~lea~ant to took at, ~nd accordingly, a cavntra;t for the l~xrchaSe of he Coolwat~r property has been A.'~'ACHMENT # ~ ~ TO EF_~OFtT d PD ~/~· ~ 18i completed. The Coolwater property ii in need ofgeneral clean up, ~nd should be urau:i in a manner that will benefit the whole area. Accordingly, our plan ofdevelopmem embraces two parcels of land the Coolwater site a~ well a~ part ofthe ex.isLing East Shore Manna lands. There ar,. significant positive results in the plan we have deveJoped for the properties, and I would Like to outline them as follows: Residential town homes - The creation of residential units on the rrm. Hn~ site contributes to the overall "vill~e" concept, and M1 bring people into the area to live, This helps ~th creating a vibr~t neighborhood, ~d also Lmproves genera] security in the area, The homes ~11 be desired to relate to commmty ~chJt~t~re a~d character, and have the nautical village desi~ theme, Twenty two of the homes will front on Liverpool Road and thus uld a significant amo~t of'character to Liverpool Road, Our developm~t lm a lower de~ity level than Canoe Landing. In the order of 64 units to 6.08 acres versus 60 mrs to 1.4 acres at C~oe Landing, Working mm'ina. The current marina will be rrmimamed in operation, tn fac'l, Picketing Harbour Company are looking at this opportunity to improve the overall mmr~. There will be some improvement to the shoreline (not bay fill), The docks will be improved, ~d we are assuming tlut a number of the new residents may also have boats, There are feature areas for the mm such as a new building which will house a bo~er'~ lounge, wa,ql'u'oom, launch'omat fa¢il.itie~, d~k-rrumer'~ offi~, etc, ~1 suppertmg the marina operation~. A Travel way. The boats will be lamaehed and h~ed out in a direct hne to the boat storage are~ alon8 a travel-way which is 35 feet wide, ~creened from the developnmt, and secure. This is a "worldng" area and as such w/Il not l'~ve any other ac~s exit for authori.~ per~nnel Boater drop off,ea. This ia a spe~iJ u'ea wher~ boaters can enter the project and through a "loop road", drop off boat mppI. ies, and the~ triter over to the parking ~a cle~i~t~ for beaten on the Co01water property, There is room for upwards of 25 ~s Ln ~ eontroIlecl drop off.area. Public prom~de- This is a special feature ortho d~elopmenr Ex't~ctJn~ fTom Liver'~ol Road toward the Bay, to the West, tbs wallo,vay will feature ~imillr tnterlocldn8 ~tone, and colo~ ~d desi,~, ~ .~fillennium Square. The intent ~e is to ~ord the ~blic an oppomrtity to ~Sew the sur~s to the West of the site, and to ~joy ~other view of the water, retmlng ~o Liveq~ol Road to continue their w~lk to ~llera~ium Squue. We ~l~ve t~at tt~ is sometmng ~t ~1 contribut~ to the overall village theme. Note: We do not agre~ with a North/South wal~y in the devdopment. This direction of foot traffic would, in our view, result i.n conflict of travel in the development, cor21ict with the imperative of safe rrumna operations, and gener~y ~ver one p~ of the d~elopment from the other, gather, we firmly ~lievo that good design diclates that the ~v'West promenade we lure designed supports safe and proper operations of the v~ous proiecX c~mponent~. Pg, 3 Town homes- The planned town homes are to be designed to afford aa many as possible with good views of the water, either over the Bay, and from the t~nt gong Liverpool Road, a view toward the Lake. Each town home will have uniquely designed ~eat'ures, Some wiU have loft and loft balconies, the majority will have decks over the garage are~, balconies from bedroomL etc. The h"rtent is to give these town homes unique character. The individual gatage~ wi~ form part ofthe ~tnit, and not i~ separated, we are not in favor of sep~ted g~'age locations ['or ma~, reasons stemming fi.om problems associated with thla form of'design in other projects we have observed. Parking- There ate two car spar, es for each home, One in the garage, and the other in the driveway. There is also provision for the appropriate number ofoffstreet guest parking, Our internal roads are to be 25 fe~t wide, which is a good width. Home office option- We have incorporated a home of~c,,e option into the d~i~n of 16 of the Liverpool Road fronting homes. This is a con.pt which the City or'Picketing wishes us to inco~orate, We believe that such ~ option nay prove appealing to those individuals who operate a business fi`om their home. It could be that some may i~, in ~, the~ unit~ will b, oe,~upied in thi~ n~er, We do not agree with proviclin& retail space as a fi~netion ora residence, However, we view tM home ofl~ee option as viable. With re,peet to retail, it should be noted we have incorporated two kiosk areas along the promenade near the water. We believe ~ would be best located in relation to the water, We further I~lieve that ely ~ in thc e'~a will l~ety be ~onal and water related, The water is thc p&r~ount reason visitors ~me to the ama. We ~ve also assumed that in the marina relat~ building, we can ~0mm0date some retail such ss a boaters supply store, This ~dlng will have :2,800 ~, ~. Itt gra& ~II have a second floor to exommodate the boater's lounge, and a deck overlooking the Bay. The Coolwater property is lsrge enough that ~. new structure of about 10,000 sci, fi. could be built without impact~n8 on host storage, alor~ the front portion, of the property, This would allow for additional retail in the future should the market dictate with suflklent par g to suppo this added retail or or, ce use. Stages ofdevelopmenl- We are planning to stage the dovelopment on site to allow ['or continued operation of the marina, al'id timely preparation of the Coolwater propeqey. By way of example, in order to scc, ommodate boat ~orage v,4th due regard for the ~e~sons of'operation, the Coolwater property would be prepared during the Spring 0f2002, and ready for oc~.tpancy of'xhe o~oe portion in the Surru~er o['2002. Boat storage would be-~n in the Fedl o~2C~2. Pg. 4 The next .t t',p would be to prepa, r~ tl~ existing marina property for construction while maintaining the marina in operation. Thia work could be undertakan in the late Spring and Summer ot'2002. Formal construction of'the residential units would then lac.gin in the Fall 0£2002, and realty for occupancy in 2003. During the Fall of 2002 and Spring of 2003, the e~isling docks and other r~lated marina Facilities would be upgraded. These could be in operation by the time the boats ~'e launched in 2003, Coolwater property - It is proposed to renovate thc e~,,ting o~ce building on the Coolwater property and give it a nautical theme. Th. is building will house the adm. i. aistration of~c,~ oFPickering t-'I.~rbour Company and possibly, Sw~ Marina with their bog ~es facility, We bye provid~ for Swans M~na to have a boat d/splay area on the Coolwatcr property if they so de,ire, Tltis will improve traffic to their operation which must nov,' pass through the restaurant parking ar~, ~&ile we can not spuk £or Swans Mar/tm, we have incorporated provision for this operation into our pl~ni, ng, Mill~mum Square Paddn$- The City o£Pickering has leased a portion of the Coolwater property for parking Mr, Harold Hough is prepued to continue this relationship on the Coolwater prop~' and v,'e further plan to increase the allotted area for thi. purpose, The City may u~ the desigrmtod area during the Summer, and it will revert to lhckering Harbour Company for Winter boat stor~e, This helps the City and eases, to some degree, increasezt parking needs due to Millennium Square SUMMARY: When we became involved in Ikis project, it did not take long to realize that to effectively plan the developmem ofthg Pickehng Harbour Company prop~y, it would be necessary to consider the overfll chas~ and objmlvea for the arm Our approach ha~ b~.a to ~ and develop a plan that encompa..~l a varify ofbenefts, H~re's what we believe our overall plan achieves', Improvc~ the marina Olm'ation, Cleans up messy boat ~torage and places it in a bet'tm' location on the ~oolwater site wher~ it will be I:,et't= controlled, Creates resident:iff development and improves the village concept which forms part of'the City's objecmivus for th~ area, Blends r~d~l with an ~t~ve operating mm'ina, Improve~ the shoreline along the Bay without in-filling, Creates a sm~'e marina operation in t'mr'mony with the residential component, Pla~s the boat travel way on the iouth boundary of the development and in the best location to traverse Liverpool Road in relation to public spaces.

I attended the open house on April 18, 2000 to view the proposal put forth for our neighborhood. I am writing to strongly oppose the construction of a public boat launching ramp at the West end of Commerce Street abutting the former Port Pickering Marina lands. I live at 688 Front Road. I have lived in Pickering in this area since 1958. My primary reason for objecting to the public boat launching ramp is that this will cause a massive injection of vehicle/trailer activity in a quiet residential neighborhood. We don't want this influx of traffic and parking chaos on our streets. I speak from experience. I am the youngest son of the former owner of Port Pickering Marina. I was raised in the Marina and Marina business from infancy. We discontinued providing a boat launching ramp within our Marina operation on the basis that it consumed and enormous amount of space to park and maneuver these vehicle/trailer combinations. Coupled to the fact that most operators don't know how or lack the skill to manage backing up and parking these vehicle/trailer combinations. With the popularity of fishing in Lake Ontario1 we will have vehicle/trailer combinations lining our streets because there will be not enough room for parking. The former Marina grounds will be used as a passive park. There is not enough room to provide adequate parking even in there. The boat launching ramp should be located down at the Lake side along one of the spits (East or West) There is plenty of open land and no residential dwellings. By putting the launching ramp at the foot of Commerce Street also means destroying the small Marsh which does support aquatic spawning, bird nesting and in general, a natural habitat for wildlife. 1 will attend meetings in regards to the land use study. I am requesting your reply.

Prudential Achievers Realty, Broker 3une 12, 2000 Mr. Wayne Arthurs Mayor City of Pickering Dear Wayne: As an interested party, I am submitting my comments to yourself and Council on the Liverpool South study and the resulting staff recommendations. ! have been involved in waterfront development since 1968 and commercial /retail balancing since 1974 and feel qualified to comment on the s'{udy. My overall impression finds the study to be well written and the consultant's findings, for the most part, were reasonable. Their C.V. indicates prior experience in waterfront development comprised largely of public or municipally owned land and initially they were not recognizing the large amount of privately held land and the unique ownership position of the Pickering Harbour Company Limited. I must state that I am still not sure that they have completely made the transition. Additionally, they put great weight on several delegations at the public meetings that form small but vocal groups purporting to represent large numbers of the public. To my knowledge, no attempt was made either by the consultants or by the delegations to poll the general public by survey or direct contact. Neither did anyone from the delegations ever meet with developers or landowners to get first hand information or suggest alternative methods of achieving goals. As you are now about to adopt the results of the study into guidelines and policy for the Official Plan ! would like to raise my concern in one significant area that, I believe cannot be achieved and, if policy is not reasonably attainable should it, in fact, become policy? I am sure that you have, in the past, dealt with many items which had to be modified from their original goals, to the detriment of the first applicants, in order to complete development areas in the city. Iam hoping that this will not be one of them. I am referring to the planning initiative of a public walkway from Front Road Park to the Millenium Square, which is referred to prominently in the study. 643 Kingslon Road PicKenng, Ont, L1V 3N7 Office: (905) 834 -7677 Fax: (905t 831-3482 335 Bay,, Street ',*,'est A,a~ D'n: =IS 6M2 g05~ 428-76? gO5, 425 76~0 Analysis of the landholdings along the proposed route include 3 private residences, a small boat yard, a fenced equipment storage yard, gas docks, a public road, a private launch ramp, a ::[5 ton and 30 ton boat travelift, two mast cranes and access to four sets of docks occupied by boat owners concerned about the security of their investments. Public safety and public liability issues alone should determine that this route is not viable or attainable in its entire length, as they are intregal to the desired marine environment. Further, to create a lively, successful and vibrant commercial area on Liverpool Road pedestrian traffic should be directed down its length to the lake. The waterfront trail already does this in it's existing format, which also satisfies that Organizations' published mandate to travel through villages and residential areas as well as along the shore. This is the city's only opportunity to satisfy that mandate. Council might consider, instead, day use docks at Front Road park, dinghy docks on the east spit and perhaps a gazebo extending out into the bay at the west end of Wharf Street as a viable alternative to the proposed walkway. Facilities at the east spit and at the Front Road park for temporary docking of visiting boats will greatly enhance the use of the bay as an overnight anchorage and weekend destination. Thank you for taking the time to look at my views on this matter. ! may be contacted through my office if you have any further questions. Kindest regards, Gary D. Peck, O.O.L. Ont.

Catherine Rose RECEIVED CiTY OF PICKERING PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT ©EPARTME~4T GARY PECK Sales F~epresentative ~' Master Diamond Club In response to the Phase 2 Part 2 draft report of'the Liverpool Road South _&ea Review as presented in the public meeting of last week, I would like to submit the following comments. In general the report was well written and faith' easy to foIIo~ and understand The landscape, streetscape and marketing banner treatments were well done and t note that provision has been made for the delivewv of large boats by transport truck and for easy moving of boats to storage by' hydraulic trailer and travellift In this area I feet that Phase 2 Part 2 has achieved The goals tbr which it ~as designed and advertised. [ was very disappointed to see that Part 2 contained many si?ificant changes to the ia.nd uses as adpoted in Part 1 in Council last June. This Part I document represented the guide to development planning and Land Value computation on various parcels b3_~ proponents and, while not perfect, was a workable document. The changes proposed represent a major departure from the Part I document, do not represent good planning principles, have the effect oflowenng land values throughout the study area and indicate to me that the planners have lost sight of the vision of a year round recreational, residential and tourism node as contemplated by the Mayor's Task Force on the future of Frenchmans Bay. These changes further are of a nature that would seem to benefit certmn needs of'the cit5' itself, in one case. and brings into question the Planning Dept's abilhT to produce a report that is unbiased, free of political influence and produced in a manner fairly serving the needs of both the general public and the landowner The following points in the Part 2 draft document are of particular concern: 1) Originally, residential was permitted throughout the entire study area, with certain restrictions such as the belt along the waterfront designed to ensure the continuation of water related activity, provide access to docks and public acessable vistas. The new format places severe restrictions on the residential potential, allowing it only on Liverpool road and then only in conjunction with retail main floor capability. The study conducted in part I clearly does not support this restriction from both the absorbability or sustainabititv perspective Residential development is critical to the overall success of South Liverpool and will draw buyers that want to live year round in close proximity to boats, water and a vibrant area. 2) Coolwater Farms, as a development opportunit2:', is handicapped by the folk;re of The Toronto Regfional Conservation Authority to address floodlines and fill lines in a timeN manner. They have been involved in thi~ study for sev ,e?A years through the Mitlenium Square and oti~er initiatives. To leave a large hole in the study and put the onus on proponents is unconcienable without setting ,at lee, st, minimum guidelines and objectives. Part 2 also removes the" build to" line from the south portion of the Coolwater site that existed in Part 1 It is signifiant in that this reduces the perceived value of the proper-ty and removes a tine that has the only waterfront area on the property that does not front on a provincially sibmificant wetland This reduction in value and development restriction becomes suspect when coupled with the cit/s need for parking adjacent to the Millenium Square 643 Kingston Road Pickerinfl, Ontario L1V 3N7 (905t 831-7677 Fex: (905) 831-3482 467 Westney Rd.

Part 2 puts a bike lane on both sides of the street and eliminates on sweet paring in the whole area. One bike lane should be sufficiant for this area given the seasonality of bikes and the need for par ~king by residents, their guests and the intention to allow limited commercial in the area by application. In conclusion, the Part 2 report, as presented, will not create a vibrant year round node in which to live, work and play. The Planning Dept and the consultants are no longer putting forward a document that is unbiased and unsullied by the needs of the city. It does not protect the Landowners right to obtain fair market value for their propert3' or to develop that lmnd to it's full potential. I trust that this will be rectified prior to this report proceeding to council. 643 Kingston Road Picketing, Ontario LIV 3N7 (905) 831-7677 Fax: (905) 831-3482 467 Westney Rd. S. Ajax.

I find that I can no longer support the concepts of commercial all the way up Liverpool to Wharf St in a "shop home" format and believe that limited commercial opposite The Waterfront Restaurant and adjacent to adequate parking is about all that the area will support. Wayne, It is time for you to take the helm as originally contemplated by your taskforce. I am concerned that Councillor Holland has a dream that is unsupportable in reality and if it goes on much further we will lose two very good developers to other projects, the land will lie fallow for a number of years and ultimately when it does get developed it w~ql do so through a OMB decision that will mirror what I have set out above. I have seldom been wrong in my career but I am always ready to admit that I can be. If Councillor Holland can show studies or examples that support his vision acceptable to builders, consumers and financiers then he should bring them forward, otherwise I ask you and the rest of council to please put all this into a format that builders and bankers can live with and let us all get on with it. There is potentially 30 million in new assessment at the bottom of Liverpool Road and a place where people can be proud to live and play many months of the year. It is about time that it was started.

David Steele was unable to attend the public meeting, but telephoned with these comments to make. Mr. Steele is opposed to the Bayfill. He noted that a sediment study complete with computer model, is necessary prior to any decisions being made regarding the Bayfill. He also noted that it is necessary to examine the current location of fill that is causing siltation in the area. Sediment collectors will be required for the end of each pipe. Natural materials ought to be used to construct storm water ponds, to ensure a high standard of permeability. By allowing for a mixed use of residential and commercial uses, there is a potential for parking issues along Sandy Beach Road. These considerations need to be reviewed prior to the carrying out of this project. S.D.

May 22. 200 ) Dear Mayor Arthurs, Pickcring -Ajax Citizens Together tot d~e HNvlrollnlcnl (P:XCT) is deeply concerned with the issues su~ounding the development of Pickerinz. We arc partictflarlv concerned to ensure that developments that could have an adverse mapac~ on thc cnx n-omnent'are Inllx identified and that appropriate action is taken 1() address the3c concerns. V,'c also ~tron~lv seek to ensure that people have access and enjoyment to the areas of natural beauty m the area m a r~b[}onsible x~av. Board members of our assoc~atlon haxc attended mubhc nncctm2s conccminu the development of the Livepool Road Design Study Area and x~ c arc reft xt ~t~ con>~cierablJ disqmet as [o the possible outcome of the planning process. In parncnIar x~e seek to estabIish that the area to the south and south east of Wharf Street is not compromised by chan~es m future zonmz such that they are to all intents lost to the public. ' ~ ~ We do recognize that these lands are m private ownership. \Ve als() know that development of the lands requires the permission of the public, tl~rough the municipal zoning and rezomn.g process. Our fundamental concern is that the lands may be developed n2 such a manner that the resuh could be that the entire area could become a residential development in Hs enuretx, and that existing manna and public access to Frenchman's Bay could be lost to the public. At the meeting held on May 16, 20~t0. David Home. a member t~t' the Board of PAC1, x~ho is also a yachtsman of long experience, raised concerns about the ex enk~al usc of these lands. This was based on the likely zoning changes that will arise from the Guidinu Principle> stated on Pa~es 21 and 22 of the Phase One Report of the City of Pickering Planning and Devel(Tpment I)cparmaent. Mr }Iome specifically asked Ibr inlbnnat~on as to thc ex,st:hi zomnz oI'the area to the south and south east of Wharf Street, and P.A.C.T asks tha~ tins be provided Mr tfome referenced the lbllowmg statements in the }<snort: · "Residential development is pertained throng}rout t}~e Studx area". Pa~e 21 "Structures along IAverpool Road, south of Wharf. sl~ould 'be able r,~ be used cnt~reh' lbrresidential, entirely business, or armx" n, .... ~ · "Zoning for the lands along [.]xe~ool Road. south oi' ~V}IaI't', should pemnt, as of naN, both residential and commercial business uses.", page 22. · "Buildings along Live~ool Road shall be built close to the street without too much ~ariation m setbacks." "Build to lines will be established alon~ Live~ool Road requiring a minimum of 85% of any new building to be set back a minimum of 3.0 meter's and a maxmmm of 4.5 meter's from the prope~, line." 298 Taken together, these would represent a significant change in the present zoning, and could result in a totally residential development with the cut off, or at worst the closure of the Marina. At the meeting, Mr Jon Linton of TCI Management, a Land Economist, agreed that the highest value to a developer results from Residential Zoning. PACT is concerned that the result of the zoning changes for these lands could be a massive residential development built out to the minimum lot lines, the loss of the Marina tbr public seasonal and transient boaters and the loss of employment in the area. PACT urges council to direct that the area continue to be a place for the enjoyment of the public and that zoning arrangements secure specific mixed use. Which was the waterfront task force vision of the area, rather than as of right options to benefit of the developer. We would also recommend to you if rezoning of any marina property is going to take place in the design study area to residential mixed use the rezoning that would benefits the developer should be seen as a gift by the developer. That the developer should construct a public walkway to the water edge on existing marina property as a gift to the City of Pickering residents. P.A.C.T urges council to undertake a computer model on storm water management in Frenchman's bay its creeks and to include the entrance to Frenchman's bay from Lake Ontario. That grit collectors be installed to all storm water pipes that mn directly into the bay. If a new residential development is to be undertaken south of Warf Street the necessary storm water management plans be part of the approval process. With surface water to be included as part of the required storm water management plans. This recommendation would also includes the land on the east side of Liverpool road so that no run off from any proposals would EVENTUALLY end up in the marsh wetlands arca or Frenchman's bay. The parking issue is still not resolved to the satisfaction of the residents that attended the public meeting. P.A.C.T. urges council to address this concern by adopting the recommendations of the waterfront task force report. We are pleased that the boat launch has been located to the area recommended by the task force report, that mixed use is recommended by the land economic adviser the Ci~ of Pickering hired for the Liverpool Design Study Area.

On page 3 of the 1976 report, under the heading "Problem's Today", this same report states that: "continuing urban encroachment immediately adjacent to Frenchman's Bay and along the 6 creeks that drain into the south-east corner of the Bay, is c(~'ecting the quality of the marshes and ttze water of Frenchman's Bay. This impaired quali? ma), have the adverse effect of limiting alternative uses or even prohibiting proposed uses for the Bay". It is clear that the Metro Toronto Conservation Authority as it was constituted in 1976 did not contemplate any form of Bay infilling, when they state that: "Therefore, in order to combat water quality problems resulting from continued urbanization, consideration should be given to implementing building set backs from watercourses and around the marshes of the Bay, and to implementing building by- laws to regulate the manner in which development is undertaken. Further, consideration should b~ given to developing a storm water management philosophy for the Frenchtnan's Bay vicinity, which could include, in part, new storm water systems ter~ninating in Lake Ontario as opposed to the Bay itself'. This 1976 report concludes" "Although Frenchman~x Bay still remains largely in private ownership, the Authority has in fact established its intent to develop Frenchman's Bay as a major recreational area, and this future must be planned for and accommodated if such uses are to be realized in the future." I had the privilege of chairing Mayor Arthur's Waterfront 2001 Task Force. That report was submitted in 1998 with numerous recommendations including: page 15 recommendation 4.11 The Pickering Planning Department should be encouraged to proceed with a Liverpool Road tourism design study and implementation timetable recommended for Pickering's Official Plan. We purposely departed from the Detail Design Guideline title for this study, used in the official plan, because the prerequisite to detailed design is a good understanding of what is required to achieve a successful tourism destination and what is economically feasible. 2 ATTACHMENT ~, .'~ ~-- TO REPORT ~' PD ' ~, ~ ~. 2! 3 We submit that before considering the Phase one report before.You toniaht~ or Proceeding to Phase two, Council and the Toronto Region Conservation Author2v must reconfirm (a) Their land acquisition program around Frenchman's Bay and revisit available funding SOLIrCes. (b) The role of the Picketing H~rbour Company in funJing channel improvements and maintaining navigation within Frenchman's Bay. (c) The responsibility of thc City of Picketing to support Picketing Harbour Company's efforts to get approvals for channel improvements. In the1995 \Vaterfront Trust document titled "Lake Ontario (;reenwav Strategy: Next Steps:" With respect to Picketing on page 48 this report recommends: "MTRCA and the Town of Pickeritlg 3'i~ould ?roceed ~,~ irh ~he dc~'ehp£menz of at~ ecoxysze.t-based management plan lot xome simih~r ~bt'.l o£ regetwrc~do~t plan)for Frenchman's Bay, as recommended iti ]99].

THE HARBOUR ENTRANCE AND VIABILITY OF MARINA INTERESTS Major area's of focus of the Mayor's Waterfront Task Force were on the need to improve the Harbour Entrance, Frenchman's Bay water quality and the need to develop and economic and tourism strategy for Pickering's Waterfi'ont, centred around Frenchman's Bay, Picketing s gateway from the water. In the context of the design guidelines before you tonight, as in 1976, the two prereq,aisites to a successful economic and tourism strategy for the Picketing xt aterfront are' 1. The continued economic viability of future marina activities on Frenchman's Bay as a primary focus for a development strategy, 2. Restoration of the health of the Frenchman's Bay watershed's ecosystem 214 4 I believe that before finalizing the Development Guidelines before Council tonight, or considering any development applications in this area, a number of questions much be answered by this council including: 1) What is the cumulative impact of all of the activities by this guideline including future construction, of buildings, seawalls, storm water discharge, bay fill and harbour entrance modification on Frenchman's Bay? It is inappropriate to consider individual applications for bay fill etc. on a stand-alone basis. It is the cumulative impact of all of your actions on the Frenchman's Bay watershed, which must be considered by this council before any one action _is allowed to proceed. Your official plan required this council to consider the cumulative impacts. 2). Is this council committed to maintaining Frenchman's Bay as a port, and if so how many boat slips are required to support a viable marina area within Frenchman's Bay and where are these boat slips best located? Has the applicant provided any written information on his plan for future operation of his marina and Frenchman's Bay? 3). What onshore facilities are required to support this marina sector, including parking, club facilities, gas handling facilities, repair facilities, sales facilities and winter boat storage and what land areas should be reserved now for these uses? 4). Where can winter boat storage be best accommodated, how much land area is required and how can this site be designed to include appropriate berming from neighbours? 5). Should the public or private sector (or both) be providing pu, blic boat launching facilities and where should both these launching facilities and the required parking to support them be located? Please keep in mind that each boat requires two parking spaces. 6). How much transient docking is required to support daily visitors to the Liverpool Road Tourist node, where should transient docking be located and should transient docking be provided by the public or private sector? 7). What funding model does Pickering Harbour Company intend to follow to fulfil the financial obligations which it assumed for both the harbour entrance and dredging as part of the Preliminary Settlement Agreement with the Town of Picketing and is this funding model viable in the longer term with the scale of Marine activity now proposed? 4 2! 5 8). What, is council's residential target for this area, and can any increase he accommodated in a well designed three or four story building, which would require less land than the townhouse form of development n(m' proposed, therehy using a density transfer, making more land available for puhlic use'? 9). There is a reference in the Revised implementation study on page D-1 to the use of density bonuses. Have the m'o applicants and planning ~tepartment considered how these tools could he used to place a higher density deveh)pment in one part of the area under consideration, perhaps the east side oI; Liverpool and transfer a portion of the waterfront land on the west side of Liverpool Road to the public? 10). If these two development applicatious are allo~ved to proceed, and in two year's annual monitoring indicates a parking problem, what spare land will remain on which to construct a parking l'acility? Outside of the development guideline itself, it is imperative that hefore any development occurs, the Council of the City of Picketing establishes its priorities for fuiure land acquisition within the boundaries of the Liverpool Road study area to achieve (a) Objectives for public access to the water's edge, including a waterfront promenade and public parkland. (b) Objectives for preservation of marshland. (c) Land required for realignment of Liverpool Road, such as a turning circle north of the bridge and land to be reserved for future off'street parking as the need arises. COMMENTS ON DESIGN GUIDELINE BAY FILL I must emphasize that at no time ctid the Mayor Waterfront's Task Force consider the use of bay fill to implement a pedestrian promenade from the-Front Road Park southward. I believe that this promenade should be.constructed on land purciaased by TRCA and wi~ere necessary a dock structure could be used on pilings, The comment is made in the report that bay fill will be reaulated in the future by havin~ each application be accompanied by an environmental report. '~ find ttns unacceptabie, since~I fear a piece meal approach. It is this council's responsibility under its official plan to consider the cumulative impacts of development. This can only b~ done properly, if the limits of bay fill are clearly defined now in the study and subjected to a rigorous modelling exercise, ideally in conjunction with modelling of the harbour entrance and storm-water facilities which is currently being reviewed by the Waterfront Coordinating Cornn~ittee. .2.16 The comment is made that bay fill will create fish habitat, but I believe that the same fish habitat can be created by use of armorstone along the existing shoreline itself. The report envisions use of bay fill to provide a public promenade. Is this because too high a density is being requested on existing land? In the past bay fill was used at Swans Marina to expand a parking lot to meet the town's requirements. What assurances do the public have that future appliants will not continue with this type of justification'? In section C 1.6 the guideline states "proposals for bay filling should be designed to improve the environmental conditions-along the shoreline. I would be much happier if this section stated that bay fill can only be used to improve existing environmental conditions. In order to ensure that the town has control over future expansion, can it require a one-foot wide easement adjacent to all existing development as was done to control driveway access to Dixie Road and the agriculture reserve lands? ROAD NETWORK The Task force recommends that Liverpool Road is closed north of the bridge and a turning circle is constructed in the area where the City currently leases parking. There is no mention of this road closure in the guidelines, but they do show a road on the spit. Have the consultants considered a looping road as part of future redevelopment of the land currently occupied by the Fish Farm? Could this type of road network be used to direct people into parking facilities located farther north? TRANSIENT DOCKING An important part of a waterfront is transient docking. A large part of the attraction of a waterfront is boats, and the closer the public can get to boats the better. Transient docking is important to enable visitors to Patronize restaurants and other businesses established along the bay. Frenchman's Bay is a reasonable lunchtime destination for boaters from Whitby harbour and Bluffers Park. Transient docking is also important for day users of Pickering's launch facilities. The task force recommended transient docking at Front Road Park and along the east spit. This concept should be incorporated into the design guidelines. FERRY DOCKING The task force recommended a ferry from the east spit to the west spit. It is important to agree now on a location for this on the east spit, since the dock configuration must be such to allow fairly wide turns and protect the ferry's right of way. 2 ? '7 PARKLAND DEDICATION When considering development adjacent to a waterfront, public access and setbacks should be a consideration. In the normal situation, dedication of parkland would be required as part of an.,,, development. I could not find any parkland dedications in eittqer application. I request that tile Director of Plannino explain this. LOCATION ()F PUBLIC BOAT I ..... ,A[: N CHIN (, FACIIArFII(S I am pleased to see the possibility ora boat launch ranip at the foot of Sandy Beach Road again t0eing proposed. The Task Force spend consider-able tnne on this and after visiting several facilities, including those at Scarborough's Bluffer's Park, we concluded that insufficient parking existed at the Front Road location, it is important to realize that every boat launched from a trailer requires two parking spaces. Thc task force was also concerned with the number of motorboats being launched close to the north end of tine environnaentallv sensitive bay, rather than Lake Ontario directly. Tile task force identified Ontario Hydro property at the end of Sandy Beach Road as optimal for a boat launch, since this launch could requires construction oi' a berm into Lake Ontario on one side only (the other already exists) and boaters could use ttae existing parking lots on Ontario Hydro property which are under-utilised on weekends. FLOATING DOCK IN FRONT ROAD PARK The task force report recognized the concept of a floating dock in Front Road Park to be used by the canoe club. A floating dock could also be used by local residents to launch kayaks and canoes and similar non-motorized boats, which could be carried TO THE FLOATING DOCK, by residents. While the future location of the canoe club has not been determined, tt~e concept of a floating dock should be carried forward into ti~e design guidelines,. HARBOUR ENTRANCE CONSTRUCTION Under the Preliminary Settlement Agreement with the Township of Picketing and Picketing Harbour Company, the Picketing Harbour Conapanv assumed responsibility for tile harbour channel and all ongoing dredging of Frenchnlan's t~av. The City of Picketing has an obligation to support the' efforts of the Pickerin: Harbour Company to receive federal approvals and support an application for federal funding ot":the channel entrance. Is it now the position of the Pickering Planning Department recommendation to council as set out on page D- 1 of the report that the City of Pickering Waterfront Co-ordinating Committee will "take a leadership role in co-ordinating partnerships and identifying and securing sources o f funding for the on-going maintenance of the harbour channel entrance, improvements to the harbour channel and dredging of Frenchman's Bay." LOCATION OF PARKING The Mayor Waterfront Task Force report suggests that a public parking lot be located on the Hiltz property opposite the end of Wharf Street in an east west orientation. Winter boat storage was contemplated, as was berming to protect the neighbour's sight lines. This location was suggested to keep as many cars as far north as possible on Liverpool Road. Before further consideration is given to the Hiltz application consideration should be given to the amount of parking required and optimal location, operating procedures and design of this private parking lot. Does council support winter boat storage at this location? STORM WATER MANAGEMENT A recurring theme in all documents, including the Mayor Waterfront task force report of 1998 in which Prof. Eyles completed a comprehensive environmental report on storm water management for Frenchman's Bay.The 1976 document discussed the need for storm water management. I recommend that council schedule a meeting within the next month of its own staff, TRCA, Pickering Harbour Company, Prof. Eyles, and interested members of its waterfront co-ordinating committee to discuss this topic including the Study Framework required and establish a list of priorities and timetable for implementation. As mentioned earlier in this report, it is imperative that all of the cumulative impacts of the actions proposed by this ~uideline be assessed, before implementing Official Plan Amendments are reviewed~ throngh comprehensive modelling of their impacts on our fragile Frenchman's'bay watershed. OVERALL RECOMMENDATION Given the number of questions for council consideration raised above, I recommend that council consideration of these two applications be deferred until an August meeting of council.

More importantly, during the preparation of the Walerfi'ont 2001 Task Force repolt, primal7 objectives were to establish a viable Liverpool Road Commercial Node, to rejuvenate the marina interests, to improve the health of Frenchm~'s Bay amd to reestablish the enu-m~ce to the ha~bour. The applications which you have proxdded deal only with land use and proxdde very little information on integration of these properties with others or on the scale of fi~ture mm-ina operations planned. Waterfront Development Principle 4 set out in the Waterfi'ont 2001 Task Force repo~l is to Promote economic activities and employment on the ~vaterfi~ont that ix compatible with other greeenway objectives" With this in mind, objective 4.1 was "to implement a planning process tbr the Liverpool Road Commereial Node". Recommendation 4.1.1 further states that the To~m of Picketing Planning Department should be encouraged to proceed with a Livelpool Road tourism design study and in~plementation timetable through a public planning process as contemplated by Pickering's Official Plan. Boundaries should be extended to include the area from Sandy Beach Road to West Shore Boulevard. In a report to Com~cil dated October 30, 1998, subsequently 'adopted by Council, the Interdepartmental Development Team agreed and stated that "the study will be a plmming and design study O~ot a tourism design study). As well, the study will focus on Liverpool Road, from Highway 401 to the lake. Funding for this study will be included in the Planning Department 1999 budget submission". Unfortunately, to date, Council has not proceeded further with the above design study, but I believe that it is imperative that this study commence immediately with full participation both by land owners and the public. I believe that this full public process should be structured so that clear conclusions are reached with respect to land use for all areas and the integration of various residential, commercial and marine uses. As part of this land use planning, design themes and standards should be established, so that developments by various landowners will promote conm~on themes and create the critical mass necessary for the year round success of the commercial node. I also believe that as part of this process a clear structure and timetable should be established for modifications to the harbour entrance (including public / private roles), criteria for lake infilling if environmentally appropriate, and responsibility for maintenance ofseawalls, public xvalkways and related infrastructure. The design study should include details on servicing and storm water management in this area. As a separate exercise, I will be encouraging Com~cil to develop a timetable and financing mecharfism for improving water quality in Frenclzman's Bay and its watershed and rejuvenating tlfis important and fi-agile ecosystem. I must reiterate, that insufficient information exists in the public domain to allow a proper discussion of your application at the Statutory Information Meeting scheduled for August 24. With this in mind, I am requesting that you request that further consideration of your apphcafions be delayed until a Design Study has been completed, at which time a framework will exist within which public comment is possible. 223 By copy of this memo to the Clerk of thc Toxssa of Pickcrnng, I am tbn~alty requesting that Cotmcil proce~ with a Demil~ Desi~ Study as rcconm~endcd by the Interdep~sxmental Tem~.

My previous three e-mails sent to Catherine Rose covers items that are required for a good yacht club facility and operation. A separate e-mail covers my concerns around the possible rezoning of Mr. Hough land. And finally my support to the City of Pickering staff and consultants who have worked diligently on the Liverpool design study as specified in the tern~s of reference. The only specific items that I have missed is a platoon boat and landing docks for the platoon boat which should be included in the Liverpool design study (commercial node). Without the Platoon boat the City of Pickering is without any connection from east/west along the Lakefront. The cost to purchase and operate a platoon boat and to build the two docks or landing that are required is in the "Mayors Waterfront Task Force Report". If my memory is correct the estimated cost was around $40,000.0. for the boat and $5,000.00 for the landings. Hours of operation,insurance etc is also included in the M.T.F.R. Would you please forward your plan for operation of a platoon boat and landings for docking. The bell we can include in the purchase of the boat. The cost ora bridge (different types) making connection to thc two spils is cost probative at the present time. The entrance to "Frenchman's Bay" and the east spit still remains to be resolved. The entrance to Frenchman's Bay is complex as the "Mayors Waterfront Task Force" had engineers from the Feds at one of our meetings thanks to Dan Mcteague. The feds are not interested period if the entrance to the bay is in private hands. I have in the past recommended the following in discussions with various stockholders: 1). Mr. Hough. Mr. Luttmer. Mr. Dyke. raise a letter of credit payable to the City of Picketing for 50% of total cost of building a proper channel entrance. Mr. Hough who presently is responsible for making the bay entrance navagatable should contribute around $360,000.00. as dredging cost would no longer be required if the breaking walls are designed and constructed properly. This would leave around $140,000.00 for Mr Dyke and Mr. Luttmer to raise. 5/30/2001 Page £ oi'2 The ownership el'the enlrallce 'to the Bay is ttlen translen'cd to the (~'Jtv of Picketing with conditions attached and then a application for Federal ~41-ant $1,t)l)ti, )()l ,(~) to $1,5~)0,00,00 M2ouid be applied for from the feds.

Of prime intrest to me was "Areas of' Land use" and "Scale of Development" that were being addressed in Part I Phase 1 of this report On page 19 under Residential Uses 3.2.3 part ib~ 'Consutatton" paragn:aphs 3 & 4 relates to residential development as well as patti d '~ "Guiding Principles" also relates to residential development, l could go on, but the poinI I wish to make is that this report deah with the land uses. The Part 2 phase 2 repot! xvas set up to deal xvith Architectural, streetscape and landscaping issues. Zoning By-Law application 23/99 was put tbrward incorporanng the contents of Part 1 phase 1 "as presented" into it's body and approved in principle .tune 22 2000. At the time we recieved approval in principle and made a site plan application we did so based upon certain treatment of the surrounding parcels, namely, the Coohvater property and the Picketing harbour lands. For our project to be successt'ul we require a Marina operation nearby as well as new residential development in the area. The Part 2 phase 2 report has changed, from our point of view, the whole viabiliw of our project and we believe that there is some question as to whether there now exists the critical mass to make the area successful on a year round basis. Although we are presently proceeding with our s~te plan application and our plan of subdivision is in the work up stage we must info)mn you that our position is presently under serious review and if the land usage contemplated by Part 2 phase 2 is adopted we may decide to abandon our prOject in it's present form. This may result in Gtenbrook homes making application to the OMB to atlow a standard residential development on the site.

BACKGROUND: l.O Infbrmation Meetin2 A Public Intbrmation Meeting ibr this development proposal was held on July 12, 2001. Information Report No. 19-01. which summarizes the applicant's proposal and outlines the issues and comments identii~ed to that date tht-ougtn circulation of tile application, was prepared for that meeting. Tile text of the Information Report is provided tbr reference (see Attachment #4). Prior to the Public Ii~lbnnation Meeting, commetu5 x~er'e received from Canada Post, the Durham District School Board, Enbridge Consumcr~ Gas and Lc Consol] Scolaire Public de District du Centre-Sud-Ouest, all expressing no object,on to this proposal. Canada Post confirmed that mail delivery to tile proposed tox~nhouse dv,'elling units would be an extension to the door-to-door service currcnt]~ provided within that area. Enbridge Consumers Gas requested conditions of draft approxal be imposed on their behalf including the requirement of an overall utilitx distributiotq pla~2, and suggested gradin~ and locational criteria/bt tile proposed (gas lines. At tile Public Information Nleeting. tile applicaint was present to ~'espond to questions regarding tile proposal. The applicant noted that thc proposed development plan had been revised numerous times to addr-es> issues 'and coneei-in~ r'ai~,ed by the community and City stafll The applicant responded to some of thc issue5 raised by residents at the conclusion of the meeting. Nlinutes of the June 12. 2~)I)I >;tatuto~-v Public Meeting are provided tbr reference (see Att'achment =5 ). Seven area residents commented :it thc Public Intbrmation N1ceting. expressing concei'ns xvith the proposed development. Comnlents included: concern of increased traftnc on Liveq>ool Road. particularly :it thc Liveq')ool Road/Krosno Boulevarci intersection, and lack of sufficient parking to serve conlnlercia] uses and visitors: ~port to Council PD 36-01 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP-2000-03 Date: November 19,2001 Page 3 · concern with the amount of notice provided to residents, the summer timing of the Statutory Public Meeting respecting this application (to allow ample time for review of issues by the community) and the inappropriateness of considering any development application in the Liverpool Road South Area prior to the conclusion of the City's Detailed Review of the Area; · concern with the use and design of buildings, which do not encourage "tourist-type" development along Liverpool Road in keeping with the Liverpool Road South Design Study; · concern with traffic flow on the subject lands as only one main access point is proposed; · objection to the method of calculating density for the project (it was felt that only those lands supporting the dwelling units be included in a density calculation and not the additional rear lands supporting associated parking and boat storage); and, · concern ~vith the design of dwelling units to encourage viable commercial uses within the ground floor of dwelling units that comply with commercial building and fire code standards. 2.0 Additional Information Following the Public Inforn~ation Meeting, written comments were received from Hydro One Networks Inc. and the Durham Catholic District School Board, expressing no objections to this proposal. Additional written comments were provided by Veridian Connections, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the City's Development Control Supervisor, Mr. David Steele, and the Region of Durham Works Department. Veridian Connections expressed no objection to the proposed development, and provided typical recommended conditions of draft approval (see Attachment #6). The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority expressed no objection to the granting of draft approval or site plan approval of the proposed development, subject to conditions of approval being fulfilled. These recommended conditions include: · the review and approval of a detailed report outlining the storn~ drainage system, and appropriate revisions to the submitted Stormwater Management Report and Environmental Impact Report to reflect this analysis; and, · the inclusion of appropriate wording in the future subdivision agreement that acknowledges typical Authority practices, including necessary permits, maintenance of features and fencing. The Conservation Authority also provided suggested detailed revisions to the applicant's submitted reports (see Attachment #7). The City's Development Control Supervisor, commenting through the circulation of the related site plan application, provided detailed comments and suggested changes to the applicant's submitted plans and reports (see Attachment #8). The Development Control Supervisor provided revisions to be incorporated into conditions of draft approval and site plan approval. The Region of Durham Works Department provided detailed servicing comments applicable to the proposed development (and development on surrounding lands proposed by the Pickering Harbour Company - see Attachment #9). The Region outlined sanitary sewer servicing constraints in the Liverpool Road South Area, and provided conditions of approval to be addressed by the applicant through the review of appropriate related development applications. The Region's suggested conditions of approval have been incorporated into the City's recommended conditions of draft approval (see Appendix I).

Discussion 3.1 Appropriateness of the Proposed Dcxclopmcnt The proposed development is in kecpi~g with thc direction established by tile Liverpool Road Waterll'oni Node Dcxclopmcnt Guidcliiqc>, as recommended by tiao Executive Committee of Council on.lunc 13. 2~)(). Tiao proposed development is also in keeping x~id~ tho Development Guidelines bcin< i'CCOlqqllqclqdod tO Planning Commiucc on November 26. 2001. These Guidclincs cstablislq objcct~vcs tbr various land use areas identified on tine Tertiary Plan tbr thc Liverpool Road Watcrfl'ont Node. The Liverpool Road Comdor land usc area apt>lies to dcx clopment fronting Liverpool Road. Development alonG ti-tis Corridor is encouraged to: · maintain a high level of design and architectural qualit.v: · feature a vibrant pedestrian enxiroi~_Fne~_t' and · over time, off'er a mix of uses including residential, commercial, retail, and ot}'ice that contribute to an inviting public rcalnl at street level. All of the subject lands are identified within thc Liverpool Road Corridor land use area. The three proposed development blocks Ii'eating Liverpool Road on the applicant's proposed subdivision plan are appropriate as they cncoL~ra~c buildings to be located ii1 close proximity to Liverpool Road. providing containment to tile sweet. Resultant visible front entries and front yards integrated into thc dcsi,gn oi' the public Fcalm along Liverpool Road will encourage greater pedestrian interaction. Eacln dx~ clling unit will be constructed so that tile ground floor of the unit can bc readily converted to retail, office or personal service use, allowing over time. the evolution of mixed uses along Wac street. Block 4 on the applicant's proposed subdivision plan mainrai~as a t~nctional area where marina supportive uses/boat storage)and public park~tqg can occm-. Recommended conditions of draft approval includc rcqL~ircmcnts that the applicant satisfy the City by entering into an appropriate site plan agreement that outlines details of the design of the proposed development, prior to anx building permits being issued on the subject hinds (see Appendix i). Thc site plZiI2 approxal process is the I210St appropriate process to ensure detailed building design and appropriate property layout is act~icvcd, and the objectives in the Liverpool Ro'~d Watcrfl'ont Node I)cvclopment Guidelines are addressed. Report to Council PI) 36-01 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP-2000-03 Date: November 19, 2001 Page 5 The applicant will be required to satisfy the City through the site plan approval process and through specific requirements of the subdivision agreement, that resultant development: is in keeping with the "Great Lakes Nautical Village" theme envisioned for the area; provides a high standard of architectural design through upgraded materials and building features (such as gables, porches, awnings, interesting roof pitches, decorative features, and decorative doors and windows); and, incorporates design features that encourage commercial uses to be established, by maintaining a high degree of pedestrian accessibility to the ground floor of units from Liverpool Road and ensuring that minimum construction criteria of dwelling units will readily accommodate retrofit for commercial uses within the ground floor of those units. 3.2 Related Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 23/99 City Council, on October 1, 2001, deferred consideration of the implementing zoning by-law for the related zoning by-law amendment application A 23/99. The applicant's proposed draft plan conforms to the draft zoning by-law anticipated to be considered by Council on December 3, 2001. It is recommended that a condition of draft approval require that the related zoning by-law become final and binding to ensure zoning requirements are in place to control future development (see Appendix I). It was initially proposed that an implementing zoning by-laxv not be fbrwarded to Council for the project until a development agreement had been entered into to the City's satisfaction. However, as this project is now proceding through plan of subdivision, the City can now establish necessary controls through conditions of draft plan approval (see Appendix I). 3.3 The Applicant's Proposed Subdivision Plan Development Blocks 1, 2 and 3 are intended to support 17 three-storey townhouse dwelling units, each providing a minimum lot frontage of 6.0 metres onto Liverpool Road. The applicant intends to create the individual freehold lots through part-lot control. Development Block 4 is proposed within the rear of the subject lands, to be owned "cooperatively" by each future owner of the 17 townhouse units, and intended to support vehicular access to the rear of the proposed dwelling units, private vehicle parking for residents, patrons and public visiting the area, and seasonal boat storage. The three Blocks abutting Liverpool Road establish an appropriate grouping of dwelling units and provide vistas through the subject lands from Liverpool Road to the Hydro Marsh. Accessibility to the rear of the subject lands will be maintained through appropriate pedestrian connections forming part of Block 4, between Blocks 1 and 2 (where the proposed drive aisle is located) and between Blocks 2 and 3. Blocks 1 to 3 have been deliberately limited in depth to maintain an adequate minimum building envelope for functional dwelling units to be constructed, while ensuring that dwelling units are located as close as possible to Liverpool Road, with no space allotted for private front yard amenity areas at grade. Through the site plan approval process and required agreements, the front yards of proposed lots will be required to be interwoven into the public realm, and not "privatized", which would discourage pedestrian accessibility. Similarly, rear yards xvill be required to provide functional areas for residential and commercial vehicle parking, and not utilized as outdoor amenity areas that could conflict with vehicle parking and anticipated uses within Block 4. All amenity areas serving the residential units will be limited to above-grade features, such as raised decks and second-storey porches, that do not conflict with grade-related activities, while taking advantage of surrounding views. Report to Council PD 30-01 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision :Xpplication SP-2000-03 29'3 Date: November 19, 2001 Page 6 One main access point to tile rear of the dxvelling units and to Block 4 is proposed, and supported by StafK The location of this access maximizes tine distance from existing driveway access points along tine east side of Liverpool Road. minimizing vehicle and pedestrian conflicts. Tine grouping of dv,'ellings and single access point will maximize tine amount of on-street parking ttmt can be achieved in I'ront et' the subject lands, while minimizing the view ot' drive aisles. Pedestrian activity in front of' the subject lands will only tmve to cross one velnicle access point, and buildino massina will be maximized alone tile frontaoe= oFttne property. Staff' support parallel on-street parking, not angled parking. One of the objectives For the area is to keep a na~oxv street tightly flamed by buildings at the street edge. Angled parkina requires wider pavement width and thu, a wider r~_ht-ot-wav width, working contrary to tiao design objectives tbr the area. StaFf supports mixed use buildings, rather than retail-only builctings at the street edge and residential uses in behind as x;'as suggested in submitted conlments. Tile mix will keep activity Ibcused along thc street edge tit all times of the day and year round. Block 4 is an appropriate size to accommodate tile intended boat storage and parking activities permitted on ttnose lands. This Block will also support the main rear drive aisle providing access to eactn proposed dxvelling unit. Utilities serving the dwelling units will also be placed wittnin tlnis Block. Staff supports the intended uses on Block 4. The cooperative oxvnerstnip of Block 4 will consist of eactn future owner lnolding a one-seventeenth share of thc ox~nership of the Block. :X cou>oration with Board of Directors will be established to administer the naaintenance and usc of this Block. Each share will run with the title of the individual toxxntnou>c unit. so that only townhouse oxvners will oxvn the rear Block. This proposed ox~ncrship is appropriate as dxvelling unit owners will have control over "common" access areas, shared utilities and maintenance of the rear lands. It is recommended that the ox~ner satistV thc City t'cspccting the details of this a~angement, and provide additional casements and or right-olZx~ a>'s over Block 4 to protect individual owner interests ~ sec :Xppcndix i ). 3.4 Technical Matters A future subdivision agreement betx~ con tile City and the oxvner of tile lands will be required to ensure that all matters of interest to tile City are protected. This requirect agreement, and several other development implementation matters, are incou~orated into the recommended conditions of approval for this proposal found in Appendix I to this Report. Ttnrough the review of this application, it inns been determined through the City's Municipal Property & Engineering Division that no road xtidcnings from thc subject lands are required to accommodate Future upgrades to the Liveu>ool Road South cross-section. Should development of the lands occur r0rior to the initiation of Lix'e~ool Road upgrades, the owner will be required to restore the Lixeu~ooI Road boulevard and road surtZace adjacent to the development to an acceptable temperao standard. The owner will be required to adhere to recommendations contained in required technical reports, to the satisfaction of tine City and appropriate external agencies. Those required repons submitted and rexiewed, to-date, indicate that tile proposed development can be acInieved, and subject to minor revisions and additional information, are acceptable to City StalT and external agencies. Those technical reports to be adhered to, and requiring final approval from the C'itv. are outlined in Appendix I to this Report. Report to Council PD 36-01 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP-2000-03 Date: November 19, 2001 Page 7 The owner will be required to satisfy the Region of Durham respecting the servicing of the proposed development. To do so, the o~vner will be required to: · submit and obtain approval of a functional servicing report prepared by a qualified consultant, addressing the proposed floor elevation of buildings, and providing preliminary sanitary server plans and profile drawings for xvorks servicing the proposed development; · construct, in collaboration with the Region of Durham and other possible private landowners in the Liverpool Road South Area, a 525mm sanitary sewer; · enter into a Regional servicing agreement, outlining details and commitments respecting Regional servicing; and, · restrict proposed commercial uses within the subject lands to that of lo~v water consumption/discharge (dM-use) establishments until such time as the twinning of the existing 900mm forcemain occurs. The conditions recommended by the Region of Durham have been incorporated into the City's recommended conditions of draft approval outlined in Appendix I to this Report. Both City Staff and the Applicant are working with the Region of Durham to further understand required servicing improvements needed in the Liverpool Road South Area. The related future implementing zoning by-law (A 23/99) and review of this proposal through the City's Site Plan Approval process (S1/01) will also address Regional servicing requirements, where warranted. 3.5 Parkland Dedication No portion of the subject lands is proposed to be dedicated for parkland purposes. Instead, the applicant will be required to provide the City with cash-in-lieu of parkland. A condition of approval requiring the applicant to satisfy the City respecting the payment of cash-in-lieu of parkland is provided in Appendix I to this Report. 4.0 Applicant's Comments The applicant has reviewed and concurs with the recommendations outlined in this Report.

(LANDS ON TIlE EASI SIDE OF LIVERPOOL ROAD, AND SOUTH OF X, VHARF STREET} Non Taylor, Plmmer II, provided an explanation of the application, as outlined in Information Report ~: 19-01. Gao.' Peck, representing tile applicant, stated that this plan has been revised several times over the past 12 months based oil information from a previous Statutory Public h~£omlation Meeting alld i'i'onl tile staff. Paul Hunt, 723 Hewson Drive, stated that tie is opposed to this application. He inquired into the parking at the rear of tile subject lands and stated that he is concerned about increased traffic on Liverpool Road and the impact of increased traffic at Liverpool Road and Krosno Boulevard. Sylvain Trepanier, 1218 Monica Cook Place. stated that he is concerned that this meeting is being held ii1 Jul,,' when most people are on vacation. [te asked what is meant by "approval ii1 principle" and stated that comments made by tile residents xvill not be taken seriously. He was not notified of this meeting arid indicated that many other residents were not notified. Notification oF this issue must be made to a broader area as it impacts a greater area. itc stated that tie does not see a great deal of tile nautical theme in thc proposed development and asked if previous concepts have been shelved. Mr. Trepanier stated that tile density should be calculated oil the three residential blocks only and noted that much work is needed to comply with the design stctdv. Dave Steele, representing the \Vateri'ront Task Force and PACT, stated that in preparing the Water£ront Task Force 2001 Report, it was contemplated that there would be very little development south of Wharf Street. He stated that he objects to this application and noted that the density calctAation includes tile block designated for parking. His report recommended that the subject lands be developed for tourism-type businesses and that tile proposed development does not comply with the Liverpool Road South Study. itc rcconmiended that ATTACHMENT REPOR'[ ~ PD o o 10. 11. 12. properties fronting Liverpool Road be zoned to encourage tourist-type commercial and other uses that support the local area. He noted that residents are confused about the difference between "retail" and "commercial" uses. He further recommended that parking in front of the subject development, along Liverpool Road, be angled parking and that the development comply with the Liverpool Road Design Study. No boat storage should be allowed on the subject lands and no maintenance on the boats should be allowed. There must be control over storm water runoff and there should be a provision for retention ponds. The City should determine if there is to be public parking on the subject lands and ensure that there is an agreement to provide for this. He recommended that there be an entrance and exit at the north and south ends of the subject lands to safely move motorists through the property and onto Liverpool Road. John Garley, 810 Helen Crescent, stated that he is concerned about how the subject lands will be assessed for the purpose of taxation. He noted that the parking block will be used by the public for parking and that the owners of the lands will charge for parking. Jacqueline Smart, 829 Fairview Avenue, stated that she was not notified of this meeting and noted that PESCA tried to notify interested residents. She stated that the proposed developments will provide for toxvnhouses that are similar to those in Canoe Landing which are very small and narro~v and the proposed toxvnhouses will not be in character with the Millennium Square and Trail. She is concerned that this development will set a precedent for greater density in future applications in the area. She asked how cars and boats can use the proposed parking lot without conflict and wanted assurance that there will be sufficient parking for cars year round. She asked if the parking lot is not successful, could the lot be re×oned to permit more housing. Ms. Smart noted that this application is being approved before the overall Liverpool Study is approved. She further asked what is meant by the tern~ "part lot control" and what levels of commercial or retail uses would be required. She asked to what level of the Building Code would the proposed townhouses be built. She stated that the residents were told by the representative for the applicant that the zoning has been approved in principle and there is nothing that will change as a result of tonight's meeting. Paul Kelland, 921 Grenoble Boulevard, stated that he understands that the zoning of the subject lands has been approved in principle and asked that the conditions of approval of the zoning be implemented. Paul White, 507 Cliffview Road, stated that he wanted to address this application in the context of access to the Lake. Development should be of the highest standard because of the high use of Liverpool Road by the public. The development of the subject lands can be a showcase for the area. He noted that the parking area will be used up very quickly if it is to be used for boat storage and parking for the commercial uses on the subject lands. Jacqueline Smart, 829 Fairview Avenue, stated that seventeen townhouses have been allowed because the density calculation includes the parking lot. This will set a precedent for other developments in the area to have a high density. Sylvain Trepanier, 1218 Monica Cook Place, asked why the City is looking at the cost of building the proposed townhouses and felt that this should be left to the builder. The builder should be required to build the proposed townhouses at the highest level under the Ontario Building Code for which the units can be used. The waterfront has been well developed and future o~vners must be made aware of public activity in the area. This application should be looked at in conjunction with other applications that will be submitted in the future. Gary Peck, representing the applicant, stated that the number of sites in the parking lot is actually over 100. If the cooperative owners of this parking lot attract sufficient business to keep the parking lot full then .there will be no boat storage. However, until the businesses in the proposed townhouses reach their ATTACHMEt~T REPORT - I optimum, he anticipates that about 40% o£ the parking lot will be used for boat parking in the winter. There has been a~ intensive stom~ water management study of the parking lot and noted that the lot will have a gravel surface. The proposed development should emuiatc a Great Lakes Coastal Village and the proposed townhouses will have some t-eaturcs that are found in century houses in the area. The design of the townhouses is set up to accommodate a business on the main floor and will be constructed in such a way to accommodate a business. If a buycr wishes to intensify the use of a trait, they will be required to pay for any upgrades. 2,58 ATTACHMENT #.. ~ TO REPORT # Pi).. .~' (,:, -- c'; I VERIDIAN CONNECTIONS DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION REVIEW PROJECT NAME: ADDRESS/PLAN: Glenbrook Homes ~ Approval of a Plan of Subdivision Lot 22 Concessim~: BF3 (Liverpool Koad, south of Wharf Street) MUNICIPALITY: Pickehng REF.

Stormweter Management TRCA staff received the report entitled S'tormwater Management Analysis, Liverpool Road Lands, City of Picketing, prepared January 2001 and· received February 26, 2001 at TRCA, We have the following comments; · The TRCA does not require post tO pre stormwater quantity controls for this area due to the close proximity to the lake, However, if the'City of Plekering does require quantity controls, the overall SWM quantity approach is satisfactory to TRCA staff. The proposed berm and sub drain are not adequate for quality controls, A vegetated swale, minimum 5 metres, should be implemented at each of. the proposed (four) outlets from the berm, within the property boundary. · Please clarify the locations (four) of the overflow weirs and sub drains on the plan view on drawing SG-I, , Please add more dimensions to the drainage detail on drawing SS*I (i.e. what is the depth of Granular A material)'. Moreover, please clarify on the detail how far above the sub drain is the ovedlow weir located. , Please clarify.the maintenance requirement of the proposed sub drains. TRCA staff suspect that these sub drains will fill up with sediment quickly given the small siZe of 100 mm. · The sump pump discharge shown in the sump'pump installation detail on drawing SS-l, should be directed to grassed areas where :possible. · A note/arrow should be added to drawing SS-1 indicating the subdrains and to refer to the detail; currently these is nothing to indicate what they are on the plan view. The above issue must be addressed prior to TRCA clearance of the applications. We trust that this is satisfactory.

There is a history of basement flooding due to excessive infiltration in the built up areas, durinq heav7 rainstorms. The most recent high level flows occurred on May 12-13. 2~)00, causing basement flooding within the Liverpool Road Pumping Staiion tributary drainage area. The Region of Durham has recently undertaken an upgrace evaluation sl;ud7 of the Liverpool Road Pumping Station. The study ~nd~cates thai twinning of the exisling 900 mm forcemain would be required for securit7 and additional capacitT. The estimated cost of this twinning is approx~matel7 $3.4 to $3.9 million. These works are identified in the draft ATTACHMENT# ~ TO INFORMATION REPORT# ~ -'(~ Page 2 Region's Capital Budget and the 4 year forecast for year 2005. tn addition, modifications of electrical and security components at the Liberpool Road Pumping Station are expected to be undertaken during year 2001 and early 2002. Due to the pumping station constraints the minimum basement floor elevations oi: the proposed development must be above 76.00 metres. This requirement is necessary to prevent basement flooding and environmental da. mage in the event of pumping station failure or sanitary sewer surcharge. Alternatively, the development will require private pumping stations, which may be an .option if the site is serviced as a condominium. To provide additional capacity for the proposed development and to alleviate surcharging and basement flooding due to infiltration, the existing sanitary sewers on Wharf Street, Liverpool Road and on easement to the Liverpool Road Sewage Pumping Station, must be twinned with a 525 mm sanitary sewer. The 525 mm sanitary sewer will outfatl directly into the Liverpool Road Pumping Station. These works have not been included in the Region's Capital Budget. However, they will be considered in the Region's forthcoming review for budget preparation. Alternatively, these works could be constructed in conjunction with the subject development through a subdivision or site servicing agreement with the Region of Durham. The applicant would be responsible for the cost of providing, as a mimmum, a 200 mm diameter sanitary sewer, while the Region of Durham would be res~)onsible for oversizing costs. The estimated cost of constructing 430 metres of 525 mm sanitary sewer s $410,000 The sanitary sewer works on Wharf Street will onty be required if the proposed development connects to the Wharf Street sewer or if the road is planned for reconstruction. As a result of the previously mentioned constraints, the Region will require that the commercial uses proposed within the subject ands /on the east and west sides of Liverpool Road), be restricted to Iow water consumption/discharge (dry- use) establishments only, until twinning of the 900 mm forcemain has been completed. n conclusion, the Region has no objection to further processing of the subject applicatiofls. However, Regional approva of the development of the subject lands, through a site plan or plan of condominium, will be subject to the following conditions: · Submission by the applicant, of a functional servicing, report prepared by a consultant identifying: i) the feasibility of providing a private sanitary pumping stations; building floor elevations: and ATTACHMENT #?.~_.TO INFORmaTION REI::~ORT #~ Page 3 preliminary sanitary sewer plans and profile drawings along Wharf Street, Liverpool Road and the easement to the Liverpool Road Pumping Station.

The current City of Pickering official plan establishes a maximum density of up to 30 dwellings units per net hectare. The proposed development is 22.4 hectare but this includes Block 1 to 4 inclusive. Block 4 is half the site, which is designated for parking. The Waterfront Task Force 2001, which I chaired, recommended that the area be developed as a Commercial/Tourism Node. Essentially uses that would support the adjacent marina land use as well as permanent residential population and the emerging Tourist Node that would be a destination to visitors. Parking-condominium (boat storage) is a concern - strange arrangement with free hold townhomes and cooperative ownership of parking. Seasonal parking for boat storage and boat maintenance is incompatible with the proposed residential use. 4. The proposal does not participate in the Guiding Vision espoused by the Liverpool Road South Detailed' Review Development Guidelines. Recommendations. The units that front onto_Liverpool Road shall be zoned and purchased as commercial/business occupancy that supports tourism, marina activities of the area and the existing year round residential community. Parking for the commercial units facing Liverpool road shall be attgled to meet the zoning by-law requirements for this type o fuse, appropriately placed itt front of the commercial units that they serve. 3. The set back for the commercial units shall be set back to allow for the parking in front of commercial units.

In 1997 and 1998 I had the privilege of being one of the Vice chair's of the Mayor's Waterfront 2001 Task Force which was chaired by David Steele. On October 30, 1998, Interdevelopmental Team Report IDT 08-98 was completed, which contains Town of Pickering Staff comments to council with respect to actions which it should take on the recommendations contained in the Mayor's Task Force Waterfront 2001 report. In the preamble, staff summarizes the key objectives of the Waterfront 2001 report. The first objective summarized is "Promoting Tourism on the Waterfront". Quoting from this section, ",4 Commercial/Tourism node" should be developed at the foot of Liverpool Road, fo/lowing a planning and design exercise. In developing the node, consideration should be given to a variety of issues including traf/Tc and parking, signage, Liverpool Road streetscape and closure south of the bridge, transient boat docking and winter boat storage, integrating the node with the trail system, public access to the water, and developing a pedestrian square and landmark near the foot of Liverpool Road." Priorities of the Task force included: 1 reversing environmental damage to restore the long-term health of Frenchman's Bay. 2 improving access to the waterfront, particularly in regards to improving access to the water's edge. 3 improving the channel entrance to Frenchman's Bay. 4. Developing an economic and tourism strategy, focusing on a well 777I '~TTACHM[NT,,¢ J ~ TO ~EPORT¢' PD ---,~ - ~) J designed commercial node at the foot of Liverpool Road with a distintive "promenade" along the waterfront. 6. Establishing guidelines for the development of the waterfront, including the commercial node at the foot of Liverpool Road. 10. Capturing the uniqueness of Pickering's waterfront and providing attractions that produce the critical mass necessary to both serve the needs of Pickering's residents and make Pickering a tourist destination. The Task Force's implementation principle 4 is to Promote economic activities and employment on the waterfront which is compatible with other greenway objectives. To implement this principle, Task Force objective 4.1 is to implement a planning process for the Liverpool Road Commercial Node. Specifically, the Pickering Planning Department should be encouraged to proceed with a Liverpool Road tourism design study and implementation timetable through a public planning exercise, as contemplated for the Bay Ridges Neighbourhood in the Pickering Official Plan. Town staff's comment in their report to council dated October 30, 1998 is that town staff "agree, the study will be a planning and design study (not a tourism design study). As well, the study area will focus on Liverpool Road from the Highway 401 to the lake. Funding for this study will be included in the Planning Department's 1999 budget submision ". I believe that Town Council should proceed immediately to give staff direction and funding to complete a detailed design study, with full participation of all landowners and the public. RECEIVED 1 AU6 3 O 1999 PLANNING DEPARTMENT ATTAOH.',Er~7 -- ! ~ _TO With respect to the application tonight, in the absence of a Design Study for this area, and from the information provided by the applicant, it is impossible for me to judge it against the objective of the Waterfront 2001 Task Force objectives. I do, however, request that the applicant request that the town delay further consideration of this application until the design study has been submitted to council, and I hope that the applicants, as major land owners in this area will play a major role with their neighbours and the community in the design study preparation. In my opinion, it is imperative that in redeveloping this area, careful consideration be given to how the pieces of a successful commercial area will best come into place. Other tourist destinations such as Cobourg, Port Hope, Port Credit, Port Dalhousie and Kempford Bay in Barrie have not happened overnight. Instead, each is a unique public / private joint venture. Some excellent initiatives have already occurred with the opening of the waterfront Bistro and improvements to that area of the waterfront. An application has been made for funding for a millenium square. The Front Road Park site has been acquired by the Town of Picketing. We understand that other waterfront landowners are investigating major new redevelopment of their properties. In order to keep up the momentum, and have the right development for Pickering's main waterfront area, the time is now to develop a comprehensive design and establish an implementation timetable for Pickering's unique Liverpool Road tourism destination.

Pm-t of Lot 23, Range 3, B.F.C. Town of Picketing The Picketing Towq~ship Historical Society has been a major contributor to both fl~e Waterfront 2001 auld the Millennial Trail processes. We have been strong proponents of a comprehensive Trail system, and have sought to e~thance the waterfront experience by providing the public with a multifaceted series of cultural benctunarks. It is on that basis that we wish to comment upon the applications before us. Our input has been supplied in tile mlticipation that, utility' lands aside, our waterfront will evoh'e to encourage greater public access. The recent Official Plan, Waterfront 2001 and the Millemual Trail studies all reinforce this expressiou of the public will. The public wishes a destination. Public funds and volunteer efforts have been expended on the expectation that the Harbour Company lands would be rehabilitated within certain pamneters, and that the area in general would see a commercial style of development in keeping with its historical nature. Unfortunately, the plans before us this eveIfing deft,., both tile word and the spirit of the public will. We, therefore, expect that these applications will go through a rigorous planning process in order to shape them to our vision, inasmuch as the community still retains some control. It must be noted that the applicants had opportunity to challenge the Official Plan during a lengthy analvsis of the draft. This did not occur. We have Council endorsement, throu~ the O.P. and the Mayor's Task Force, of a Detailed Review of this area. The Harbour Company has also endorsed the Waterfront 200 l project. Before we even consider any zoning changes to accommodate the applications before us tonight, we need to see that a Detailed Review is conducted. The degree of demonstrated public interest in our waterfront demands that any changes to local land use be conducted within a larger vision. I trust that Council has the wisdom to decline any consideration of these applications until they can be presented within the context of a publicly endorsed vision of growth. We only have one chance to get it right. Regards Thomas Mohr President, P.T.H.S.

It~ order to carry out the recommendations of Council, a Selection Committee was established c~m~prising of the Treasurer, Manager, Accounting Services, Manager, Financial Services, ;xlanager, Supply &Serviccs and the Solicitor for the City. The composition of the Commiticc represented the best interests of the City in this regard. ?irc firms were invited to submit Proposals and all responded. They were also invited to make a presentation to the Selection Con~nittee on November 14, 2001. (Unfortunately, the Solicitor was unable to attend due to another priority). The Proposals and Presentations made by each of thc fim~s were scored against pre-selected evaluation criteria (see Attachment 1), that were assigned point values to reflect the importance of each one. Unlike the purchase of hard goods such as vehicles or computers the selection of services is based on firstly fulfilling the demand or need and then the principle of "best value for dollar spent". Therefore, the selection criteria placed a higher value on factors such as knowledge of the new reporting requirements, depth of audit and overall level of service in contrast to mmual audit fee cost. This method assists in the selection of the firm representing the best overall service and value.

ORIGIN: Requests made by Councillors Holland and McLean under Other Business at Committee of the Whole Meeting of September 10, 2001 AUTHORITY: Sections 210(1) to 210(13) of the Municipal Act FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Not applicable EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Not applicable BACKGROUND: At the Committee of the Whole Meeting of September 10, 2001, Councillors McLean and Holland made the following statements under Other Business: Councillor McLean expressed his concern with the number of animals being destroyed at the Animal Shelter in Whitby. He suggested that the following alternatives be considered: (a) Pickering establish its own animal shelter; (b) a joint shelter between Pickering and Ajax; (c) status quo with improvements in taking in, housing and adopting out the animals; and (d) contracting out to an outside agency. He requested that the Clerk review this situation and report back to Council. Report to Council CL 47-01 Date November 22, 2001 Subject: Review of Animal Control Services Page 2 Councillor Holland commended Councillor McLean in brimzing form'ard the above information and questioned the disposal of the bodies of the animals that have been destroyed. HISTORIC OVERVIE~t,' OF ANIMAL CONTROL SER¥1CES IN PICKERING Until the earl`,' 1960's, animal control services and facilities were sadly lacking in the Picketing. Ajax and Whitbv areas. At that time, dogcatchers were simply appointed and allowed to pick up and dispose of unwanted animals Such Animals were either shot, gassed or sold in a haphazard fashion and the system of control ~ as inadequately monitored. During the late 1950's and earl`,' 1900's, the local chapter of the Ontario Humane Society became very active Under the direction and financial support of Nluriel Sissons who ~as a prominent resident of the Town of XVhitbv. tile Society :','as able to purchase property, and in late 1908. opened the current building located at 4080 Thickson Road North in \k'hitbv Lnder agreements with the Town's of Picketing. Ajax and \Vhitbx. the Ontario Humane Society proxided animal control services for each of thc three municipalities The Society managed animal control services until tile earl,,' 1980's. In 1982, the three municipalities jointly bought the property and buildings From the Society at an equal one-third cost to each of the municipalities. The Ontario Humane Society continued to provide animal control sera-ices under contract to the three municipalities and also provided maintenance of the building In 1985. Picketing, Ajax and Whitbx decided to .jointly undertake the entire animal control operation. On December 31, 1985. Picketing, .%jax and Whitby jointly entered into serxice and animal control agreements respecting the provision o£ an animal control service throughout the three municipalities. Copies of the Agreements are attached hereto tbr `,'our intbrmation. The Service Agreement outlines the provisions concerning poundkeeper obligations, licensing provisions and responsibilities concerning the pound, staffing and hours of operation, report preparation, liability and indemnification and termination criteria 'File Animal Control Agreement essentially provides tbr the establishment oF a joint animal control service and a joint board of management lie pAx, X,' Joint Animal Control Committee). in addition to criteria related to the premises, contract services, indenmification and agreement termination PRESENT SERVICE PROVIDED BY PAX,~ ANIMAL CONTROL CENTRE The PAW Animal Control Centre is opened to the public Monday to Saturday t'rom 8:00 am. to 4:30 p.m. which conforms to the requirement of the Serx'ice Agreement that states that the ('entre must be open to the public Monday to Saturda`, from at least from 830 a m to 430 p.m .At all other times, the Centre maintains an "emergency response" `,~hich provides for an Officer to respond only to calls where it has been demonstrated that an animal is in distress Tile Centre was open on Wednesday evenings tbr a few years but verx t'ex~ people responded to this additional service and it was discontinued because it did not justin' the staff' costs. 250 Report to Council CL 47-01 Subject: Review of Animal Control Services Date: November 22. 2001 Page 3 The Service Agreement also provides that there shall be at least three staff on duty Mondav to Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., one animal attendant on duty from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sundays and holidays and on staff person on call after hours. Again, the staff levels provided by Town of Whitby at the Animal Control Centre exceeds the requirements of the Service Agreement in that there are a total of eight employees assigned to the Centre comprised of a Supervisor and seven Animal Control and Pound Attendants. The staff of the Animal Control Centre operate within the Animal Control and Pound Policies and Procedures, a copy of which is attached to this Report, which were established under the authority of Section 1 l(e) of the Animal Control Agreement. These Policies and Procedures have been amended from time to time by resolution of the three Councils after considering the recommendation of the PAW Joint Animal Control Committee. In addition, the Treasurer of the Committee has made the Animal Control and Pound Policies and Procedures available to the Committee on the first agenda of a PAW meeting at the beginning of each term. The staff of the Animal Control Centre have provided an excellent service to the three municipalities and have responded to changing demands on animal control by recommending changes to the Animal Control and Pound Policies and Procedures or the Dog & Cat By-laws of the three municipalities. In a Report to the PAW Joint Animal Control Committee that was received for information by Picketing Council on November 19, 2001, it was pointed out that the per capita cost of operating the PAW Animal Control Centre is similar to the per capita cost of the Animal Shelter in Oshawa and is far less expensive on a per capita basis than the Shelters in Clarington, Brock and Scugo~Uxbridge. A copy of that Report is attached for vour information. Within this same Report, the staff of the Animal Control Centre have admitted that they could do a better job of reducing the number of unwanted and stray pets that are euthanized and have committed to preparing a Report for the PAW Committee's consideration that would: Promote public awareness of the absolute importance of responsible pet ownership. Place greater responsibility on the owner of unwanted pets to find suitable homes for their pets. Increase the adoption rate of unwanted and stray pets. Some ideas for accomplishing this goal are to provide consistent advertising in the newspapers of all three municipalities of animals for adoption or promoting the Animal Control Centre, providing a separate web site for the Centre that would be linked to the web sites of the three municipalities and providing better working relationships with various animal rescue leagues and other related organizations in the PAW service area. FUTURE OPTIONS FOR ANIMAL CONTROL The purpose of preparing this Report is to respond to Councillor McLean's request to examine alternatives to animal control that would include (a) Picketing looking after its own animals: (b) a joint shelter between Picketing and Ajax; (c) status quo with improvements in taking in, housing and adopting out the animals; and (d) contracting out to an outside agency. The following is my overview of each of the above alternatives: ANIMAL CONTROL OPERATED SOLELY BY THE CITY OF PICKERING: As noted earlier in this Report, ifPickering wanted to undertake its own animal control service, it would have to give notice to the Town of Whitby by May 30, 2002 that it wanted to be released from the terms of the Animal Control and Service Agreements on December 31, 2002. Therefore, at the very earliest, Pickering could operate its own animal control service commencing on January 1, 2003. Report to Council CL 47-01 Subject: Review of Animal Control Services Date November 22. 2001 Page 4 291 IF Picketing were to establish its own animal control sec'ice, it would be reasonable to undertake renovations to that portion of the Works Centre that was tbrmerlv occupied by Picketing Transit The location of the Works Centre is relatively close to the maiority of residents in the City and renovating a portion o£ the Works Centre would certainly be less costly than purchasing or acquiring lands elsewhere in the City and building a new structure The Director of Operations arid Emergency Sep, ices has adxised that it would cost approximately $257.000 to undertake renovations to convert about 2.0t)0 square feet of the bus bays /bt an animal shelter. This would include an once. indoor- kennels, outdoor kennels, cut in the wall to install-dog doors" to the outdoor kennels and furniture arid equipment Two trucks ',,ould also be required on the date of start-up at a cost oF530~000 I'or a total of SO0,000 It would be reasonable to assume that five employees v, ould be needed to carry out a proper but minimal animal control service The five employees ,aould be comprised ora ,aorking Supervisor and tbur Animal Control Officers and Pound Attendants Ir'there is an expectation that the level of service will be higher than that carried out bx most municipal pounds, then the level of' staffing will increase. The folio\ring is a proposed operating budget tbr an Animal Sheher that would be operated by and tbr the Citx' ot'Pickerin~: Sro_n_ 1,~> Cost s: Renovations to Works Centre Purchase of two vehicles 5257.

A Picketing/Ajax animal control operation would likely require a total of six employees as opposed to five employees for a Picketing-only operation. Therefore, the net costs to operate a joint shelter would be about $421,600. Based on a total population of 162,000 (Picketing 92,000, Ajax 70,000), the per capita cost to operate a joint shelter would be $2.60. This compares more favourably with the current per capita cost of $2.57 for the PAW Animal Control Centre, however, again ! would point out that the projected costs of a Picketing/Ajax shelter are based on a minimal animal control operation. KEEPING THE STATUS QUO WITH IMPROVEMENTS: As noted earlier in this Report, at its regular meeting of November 19, 2001. Council received for information a Report of the Treasurer of the PAW Joint Animal Control Committee reviewing the current policies of the PAW Animal Control Centre and committing to specifically reviewing the current pet adoption and euthanasia policies. I expect that this report will be completed and before the PAW Joint Animal Committee for its consideration sometime in the early Spring of 2002. CONTRACTING TO AN OUTSIDE AGENCY: Prior to 1984, the municipalities of Picketing, Ajax and Whitby contracted out the animal control service to the Ontario Humane Society (OHS). Even at that time, the service provided by the OHS was very costly and the local Councils had very little control over the operation of the service provided by the OHS. Other than the OHS, I am not aware of any other competent organization that would bid on an animal control service that would be of a size to service the City of Pickering. SUMMARY I believe the City of Pickering, along with the Towns of Ajax and Whitby, have been serviced very well by the staff of the PAW Animal Control Centre. Although it is a fact that the City of Pickering contracts its animal control service with the Town of Whitby, the City has been able to influence the level of service provided by the PAW Animal Control Centre through its participation on the PAW Joint Animal Control Committee and through budget approvals. The staff of the Animal Control Centre have always kept an open mind to improvements to their service. Concerns have been expressed by Councillor McLean with respect to various aspects of the service given by the Centre and the staff have responded by indicating that they could make improvements in the area of animal adoptions and have committed to reviewing other areas of concern and will report back to PAW in early 2002. I would urge Council to await the report from the staff of the Animal Control Centre in order to make a more informed decision on the overall service being provided by the Centre.

E. .~NIMAL CONTROL .~N'D POUND POLICIES A~N'D PROCEDURES The following section outlines the relevant ammal control and pound policies and procedures followed by the staffat the Animal Control Centre. The policies and procedures have been adopted bv the P.AW. Joint Animal Control Committee and the Councils of the City of Pickenng and the Towns of Ajax and Whitbv. Priority Response of Calls: During normal office hours, daily call records are used to record all requests for service by the ,amimal Control Centre. The Centre attempts to provide equitable service throughout the three municipalities, while at the same time. responding to calls in the order of priority as set forth below. The daily call record provides all relevant information concerning incoming calls, monies received, warmngs given, charges laid, etc.. The daily call record also provides an accurate source of information in following up on complaints. It should be noted however that complainants names are considered confidential in investigating a potential bx'-laxv infl-action. The priority, of response for animal control ser~'ices is as £ollows with the highest ranking request being at the top of the list: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) animals endangenng the public or an injured animal; trapped animals; animals running at large, barking or howling excessively, defecating on property other than owner's; animals found at large and confined: requests for animal traps; and, pick-up and disposal of animal carcasses. After normal office hours an answenng ser¥ice company provides a paging service for emergency calls. Animal Control Officers are paged by the answering service where a complaint has been received regarding an animal endan~ublic safe~ured animal re~ assistance. At 8:00 a.m., Monday through Saturday, the Animal Control Centre calls the answering service to pickup other messages regarding complaints received, lost and found pets, etc.. (2) Stray Animals: All dogs and cats picked up as "strays" are protected bv Provincial statutes and municipal by-laws passed pursuant to the statutes. E. ANIMAL CONTROL AND POUND POLICIES AND PROCEDURES CONTINUED Each of the three municipal Councils in the P.A.W. area have enacted by-laws, which establish among other matters, how long an animal is to be held as a stray before becoming the legal properly of the Ammal Control Centre. Copies of the by-laws enacted by the three municipalities can be found in Appendices 3, 4 and 5. Where an ammal is tamed-in to the Animal Control Centre as a stray, the animal will be accepted providing the resident has not had the animal for longer than a two week period. If the resident has had the animal for longer than a two week period, the animal may be accepted as a surrendered animal. Residents of the P.A.W. area who complain of problems with stray cats on their own property, can request the use of the humane trap upon payment of a prescribed deposit fee, for a five day period. The resident is perfectly within their right to use the trap on their own property as long as the cat is surrendered to the Animal Control Centre upon capture. The impounding period established in the by-laws is 5 (five) full days exclusive of Sundays and statutory holidays, for dogs, beyond which time the animal becomes the property of the Centre. The animal is then either made available for adoption (see section on Animal Adoption) or is euthanised. Where an animal is seized and such animal is injured or should be destroyed without delay for humane reasons, the Animal Control Centre, in consultation with a local veterinarian, may arrange to have the animal euthanised without delay. In such circumstances, the staff make every effort to contact the owner and to permit the transfer of the animal, at the owner's expense, to the offices of a veterinarian. The Animal Control Centre has an extensive logging and identification system which keeps track of all incoming and outgoing animals from the Centre. Identification cards are also completed, containing such information as breed, sex, colour, approximate age and weight, time of pick-up and delivery to the Centre, street name and municipality where the ammal was picked up together with other identification information (i.e. collar, tags, etc.). Where identification is available, all reasonable attempts are made to inform the owner. Information regarding the name, address and telephone number of the owner is also recorded together with the date and times of attempted contact. If contact is unable to be made by telephone, staffwill attend the last known address and leave a verbal or written message as to where the animal can be found. If an owner is found to live outside the P.A.W. area, the Centre will contact the appropriate animal control centre within that area and request that contact be made with the respective party. E. ANISLa, L CONTROL AND POUND POLICIES AND PROCEDURES CONTINUED When the owner is contacted, he/she is also advised of the applicable fees owing to reclaim the ammal. In situations where someone other than the legal owner wishes to claim an animal, arrangements must have been previously made by telephone from the o~aqqer as to who will be claiming the animal or a note signed by the ox;met, must be submitted to the Centre. (3) Unwanted Animals: The ,~imal Control Centre v¢ill only accept tmwanted pets from people who reside within the P.A.W. area. Many phone calls are placed to the Centre from persons wishing to give up their pets who are non-residents of the P.A.W. area. These people are requested to contact their local animal control centres. There is also a fee associated with bringing in an unwanted pet (see Fee Schedule). When tile unwanted animal is delivered and signed over to the Centre, the owner is made avcare that the animal is no longer their's and that there is no set time for holding animals for adoption and that adoptive placement cannot be guaranteed. The owner is also advised that if the animal is not adopted, it will be euthanised. (4) BoardinK of Animals: Boarding services are not offered at the Animal Control Centre and all requests received are referred to local vetennarians and kennels. (5) Animal__Quarantine: As pound keeper for the City of Pickenng and the Towns of Ajax and Whitby, and pursuant to the provisions of the Health Protection and Promotion Act. animals must be quarantined for a period often days on an order issued by an inspector from the Durham Regional Health Department. If the animal is a stray, aPter the ten da,,,' quarantine period and after the inspector has released the animal, the animal is euthamsed. It is inappropriate that the animal be offered for adoption after exhibiting an unstable temperament. 10 31,6 Eo ANIMAL CONTROL AND POUND POLICIES AND PROCEDuREs CONTINUED If the animal is owned, after the ten day quarantine period and after the inspector has released the animal, the owner is contacted and requested to collect the animal from the Animal Control Centre. There is no cost to the owner for the quarantine. However, if the animal is not picked up on the release date, the owner is liable for fees incurred after the release date (see fee schedule). In the event an owner fails to claim an animal on release, the following procedure is followed: (a) an attempt is made to contact the owner of the animal by telephone; (b) an Animal Control Officer attends the last known address of the owner and verbally, or in writing, asks the person to contact the Centre as soon as possible; (c) a letter is sent advising the owner of the animal that on receipt of the letter, and within the stated amount of days, if they have not made arrangements to retrieve their animal from the Animal Control Centre and pay the appropriate maintenance costs in excess of the quarantine period, that the animal will become the property of the Centre and will be euthanised. The letter is sent via the Post Office on what is known as an Acknowledgement Receipt Card so that when the Post Officer delivers the letter the person receiving it will either, (a) sign for the letter and the Animal Control Centre will receive a receipt showing it was accepted; or, (b) refuse the letter and the letter and the A.R. Card will be sent back to the Centre. The above records are kept on file with the quarantine order received from the Durham Regional Health Department. The animal is not euthanised before the above procedure has been followed. If members of the general public within the P.A.W. area contact the Centre regarding an animal bite or scratch, they are advised that they are required by law to report the incident to the Durham Regional Health Department, who will in turn be in contact with the owner of the animal. At that time, the inspector will determine whether the animal should be quarantined at the residence of the owner or at the Animal Control Centre. If the animal involved is a stray, an Animal Control Officer is dispatched immediately to the area in an effort to bring the animal back to the Centre. This retrieval process is important since failure to obtain the animal may result in the person afflicted by the bite or scratch being required to undergo a series of rabies shots. 11 E. ANIMAL CONTROL AND POUND POLICIES A~ND PROCEDURES CONTINUED All pertinent information concerning a biting or scratching incident is fom'arded to the Durham Regional Health Department. In cases where an ammal is quarantined at the Centre, it is the Centre's responsibility to monitor the ammal and notify the Health Department should the animal begin to exhibit any changes in its general health or behavioural patterns. (6) Animal Euthanasia: Euthanasia services are not offered at the .animal Control Centre for owners of pets wishing to have their animals euthamsed. Unadopted animals or ammals which are not suitable for adoption and which are the property of the Centre are euthanised bva local vetennanan. Euthanasia services are performed re, ice weekly on a rotation basis by the local vetennarians. in exchange for vetennanan assistance and advice in this regard, the Animal Control Centre provides a removal seA'ice of dead animals from the local clinics in conjunction with the scheduled disposal run of dead animals from tine Centre. Animals are currently' disposed of in a controlled enviro~unent at the Metro Landfill Site. (7) Animal Cruelty: Suspected cases of cruelty to animals are not handled by the .~nimal Control Centre. Provincial law requires that such cases be referred to either the Ontario Society' for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (The Ontario Humane Society and affiliates) or the Durham Regional Police Service for their appropriate action. (8) Animals for Research: Arfimals at the Animal Control Centre are neither sold nor voluntarily offered for research purposes. (9) Animal Husbandry and Medical Advice: While simple behavioural problems are often discussed with pet owners, persons having questions concerning animal husbandry or seeking detailed medical advice are advised by the staff to contact their local veterinary clinic. 12 ANIMAL CONTROL AND POUND POLICIES AND PROCEDURES CONTINUED (10) Animal Adoptions: Unwanted or stray animals may be placed up for adoption subject to compliance with certain criteria. In terms of unwanted animals, pet owners are questioned as to where they reside and why they are giving up the animal and, further, questions are asked regarding the animals age, health, temperament, general habits, etc.. Based on the information provided, a decision is made by the Supervisor of Animal Control Services whether a particular animal would be suitable for adoption. The Centre will not accept and place up for adoption an animal which knowingly has problems. Stray animals which have become the legal property of the Animal Control Centre are evaluated more closely in considering them for adoption, since the history of the animal is unknown. Often in consultation with a local veterinarian, animals are evaluated as to the appropriate age for adoption, the temperament and general health of the animal, the ability of the animal to adjust to surroundings and (especially in terms of stray adult cats) whether the animal has been neutered and/or declawed. All animals placed up for adoption that do not have previous records of vaccinations are given one set of vaccinations prior to adoption. Rabies shots are not given, since only a qualified veterinarian can administer this type of vaccination. It is important to note that only those animals which have become the legal property of the Ammal Control Centre can be offered for adoption. Animals are adopted on a first come, first served basis and are not held for prospective buyers. In adopting the animal, an adoption fee is required to be paid (see Fee Schedule). In addition to the fee, vaccine information and a complimentary annual licence will be issued for the animal if the owner is a resident of Ajax, Picketing or Whitby. The Centre will not knowingly adopt out a pet which hasn't been spayed or neutered to a resident who has already indicated that they own a pet of the opposite sex which is also not spayed or neutered. This policy is based on the fact that the Centre is attempting to control the birth of unwanted pets. Such owners are advised that they would be eligible to adopt a second animal at such time as their current animal has been spayed or neutered. 13 ANIMAL CONTROL .4,.ND POUND POLICIES .4~ND PROCEDURES CONTINUED Persons residing in aparm~ent buildings are questioned as to whether pets are allowed in their building. In cases where a favourable response is given, a notation is made on the receipt of purchase and sale. The .Animal Control Centre will not adopt a pet out to an individual under the age of eighteen years osage and teenagers are required to be accompanied by a parent when purchasing a pet. Within forty-eight hours o£ an animal being adopted, and having been certified either verbally or in xwiting to be unhealthy by a vetennarian, and/or the animal has aggressive tendencies, the owner of the adopted animal may return the pet to the Animal Control Centre and the adoption fee will be refunded. Such animals are generally euthanised at the Centre. The Centre does not permit animals to be exchanged. (11) Wildlife and Exotic Animals: Wild animals, birds, etc., that are simply a nuisance to the public do not fall under the responsibility of the Animal Control Centre because there is no government legislation to cover such care. Wildlife complaints received at the Animal Control Centre are directed to the Ministry.' of Natural Resources. The Animal Control Centre does, however, make available to residents of Ajax. Pickering and Whitbv humane traps upon payment of a prescribed deposit fee. The trap can be used for five days and ifdunng that time the animal is caught, the Animal Control Centre will come and remove the animal and release it in a natural setting, for a fee. A refund of the deposit is then given to the property owner once the trap is returned to the Animal Control Centre by the assi~maed date. A complainant who does not wish to make use of the humane trap is directed to a private pet control service. With regard to "exotic" animals, each of the three municipalities have enacted by-laws to prohibit the keeping of such animals (refer to Appendices 3, 4 and 5). In the event an exotic animal (i.e. an Iguana) is placed in confinement at the Animal Control Centre, attempts are made to contact the owner, if known, and the owner will be able to retr/eve the animal on payment of the required pound fees and upon execution ora release form which provides that the animal is to be taken to an area where the keeping of such an animal is permitted by law. The release form also indemnifies the three municipalities from an,,' actions resulting from the release of the animal. The owner is advised that if the animal is found again within the P.A.W. area, charges would be laid under the respective regulatory by-law. 14 3 2. 0 ANIMAL CONTROL AND POUND POLICIES AND PROCEDURES CONTINUED Where an owner is unknown or where an owner has been identified but refuses to sin the release form, the exotic animal is retained for a fourteen day period. Upon expiry of the retention period, a letter is hand delivered to the owner, where known, requesting that the animal be claimed within a prescribed time period or it will be disposed of. When ownership is not achieved, the Ammal Control Centre contacts the Ontario Humane Society or other specific association (i.e. Domestic Iguana Association) to arrange for the release and relocation of the exotic animal. (12) Pick-Up and Disposal of Animal Carcasses: All animal carcasses on roadways (with the exception of Highway No. 401) within the P.A.W. area are picked up and disposed of by the Animal Control Centre. Animal carcasses along Highway No. 401 are normally removed by the Ministry of Transportation and taken to the Toy Street Depot in Pickering where the Animal Control Centre, in turn, collects the carcasses. Owned animal carcasses are picked up and disposed of for a prescribed service fee (see fee schedule below). As previously noted, in exchange for veterinarian advice and assistance (re: sick/injured animals) and euthanasia services, the Animal Control Centre empties clinic freezers during the weekly run to the Metro Landfill Site. (13) Fee Schedules and Licensine Requirements: The following list outlines the applicable fees payable for the various services provided by the Animal Control Centre: Adoption Fee Animal Placement (i.e. unwanted animals) Pound Fees Trap Rentals Cat Carrying Box $51.75 (Cats and Dogs) $26.75 $20.00 (first impounding) $30.00 (second impounding) $50.00 (for each subsequent impounding) $50.00 (deposit) *maximum five day limit $20.00 pick up fee (wildlife only) $5.00 per day late charge $5.00 clean out fee $4.60 15 Ee ANIMAL CONTROL AND POUNq) POLICIES AND PROCEDURES CONTINUED Daily Board (Maintenance Fee) Dog Leash Pickup and Disposal of Owned Animal Carcasses Animal Licences Replacement Licence 55.00 per da',' $3.00 S21.40 {if dropped off) S32.10/if picked up) Lifetime - 535.00 Annual - Unaltered - S25.00 .Annual - Unaltered with Microchip - 520.00 Altered - S 15.00 Altered with Microchip - $10.00 $5.00 Note: The Animal Control Centre does not accept cheques. Pa',Tnent may only be made using cash, MasterCard, Visa or Interac. (14) By-Law Enforcement: Animal Control Officers are appointed as Municipal Lax',' Enforcement Officers and are responsible for the enforcement of the Animal Control By-laws of the three municipalities. Charges under the respective by-laws include: 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. ,amimals running at large: Dogs and cats defecating on property other than their oxvners; Unlicensed cats and dogs; Dogs barking or howling excessively; Cats and dogs not vaccinated for rabies; The keeping of more than two dogs in a dv,'elling unit; and, The keeping of exotic animals. Persons reporting an infraction under an Animal Control By-law are required to give their nan~e, address and phone number, which is kept as confidential information. The Centre will not accept anonymous complaints. Ever-v reported infraction is investigated and the complainant is advised of the action to be taken. Generally, owners of animals found to be in contravention of the Municipal Animal Control By-laws will either be given a verbal or written warning before formal charges are laid. 16 ANIMAL CONTROL AND POUND POLICIES AND PROCEDURES CONTINUED A charge will only be laid, (a) if the offence is witnessed by an Animal Control Officer; or, (b) if the offence is witnessed by a complainant (a member of the public) who is prepared to attend court to give evidence. In such cases, a charge is only laid when the Animal Control Officer, based on their questioning of the complainant and investigation of the complaint, is of the opinion that a by-law infraction has occurred. Municipal Law Enforcement Officers within the by-law enforcement departments of the three municipalities are responsible for coordinating the prosecution of charges laid by the Ammal Control Officers. A photocopy of every provincial offences notice and summons issued by the Animal Control Officers is forwarded to the appropriate municipal by-law department. The Animal Control Officers provide relevant information concerning the offences and attend court for the purposes of presenting evidence. 17 ATTACHMEN-':'/:;~TC:. REPOP,~-~_/...~. ~-/7--o ~ 3?3 ITEM 3-01 TREASURER'S REPORT TO THE PICKERING, A_IAX WHITBY ]OINT ANIMAL CONTROL COMMITTEE October 17, 2001 Subject: Pet Adoption and Euthanasia Recommendation: Origin: That Treasurer's Report, Item 3-01, be received as information; That animal control services staff be directed to undertake a comprehensive review of pet adoption and euthanasia policies and procedures and bring forward recommendations to reduce the number of unwanted and stray pets that are euthanised including, but not necessarily limited to, recommendations to, (al promote public awareness of the absolute importance of responsible pet ownership; (bi place greater responsibility on the owners of unwanted pets to find suitable homes for their pets; and, (c) increase the adoption rate of unwanted and stray pets; and, That a copy of Treasurer's Report, Item 3-01, be forwarded to the Councils of Ajax, Pickering and Whitby for information. At the request of the Picketing, Ajax, Whitby Joint Animal Control Committee (P.A.W.), the animal control service providers in the Region of Durham were contacted to determine how P.A.W.'s pet adoption and euthanasia policies measure up to those of the other area municipalities. Analysis: P.A.W. Adoption and Euthanasia Policies and Procedures P.A.W.'s adoption and euthanasia policies date back to the inception of the Picketing, Ajax, Whitbyjoint animal control service in 198.5. The policies and procedures, a copy of which is attached to this report, have remained relatively unchanged over the years. Many of the policies and procedures have been used as a model and adopted by other municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area. P.A.W. provides an adoption service for unwanted and stray pets in Ajax, Pickering and Whitby. Anyone who has an unwanted pet can turn it over to P.A.W. for adoption provided the animal meets certain adoption criteria. The animal's health, temperament, age and general habits are all taken into consideration when determining its suitability for adoption. Stray pets that are not claimed by their owner are also offered for adoption provided they are in good health, have a good temperament and meet the remaining adoption criteria. Veterinarians are often consulted to determine whether or not a stray pet is considered to be suitable for adoption. Animals with behavioural or health problems are not put up for adoption. Treasurer's Report, Item 3-01 (Continued) P.A.W. goes to great lengths to place unwanted and stray pets in good homes. The benefits of adopting a pet are promoted through the local media, in various newsletters and publications and in the animal control service web page. Staff visit schools, participate in parades and community' events and conduct open houses. The assistance of other animal control centres and shelters is encouraged and solicited. The help of animal rescue organizations is sought to adopt and rescue animals. Unfortunately, many of the stray pets taken in by P.A.W. are injured, sick or feral and must be euthanised. Even more unfortunate is the intolerable number of good, loving pets that must be put down by P.A.W. because they are unwanted or have been "abandoned" by their owners. Despite its best efforts, P.A.W. simply does not have the ways or the means to place all of the unwanted and stray pets in suitable homes. The Problem - Irresponsible Pet Ownership The root of the problem in the P.A.W. service area is no different than it is across the Greater Toronto Area. The problem is irresponsible pet owners who, for whatever reason, refuse to spay, neuter or register their pets and allow them to run at large. Not until the problem of irresponsible pet ownership is fully addressed will there be a noticeable reduction in the number of animals that must be put down. Quite simply stated, P.A.W. does not have the means to effectively deal with the number of unwanted and stray pets that are dropped on its doorstep. Experience in Other Municipalities A synopsis of animal control services activity in other municipalities in the Region of Durham is attached to this report. ~[t is difficult to come to any conclusions on the relative effectiveness of the various programs simply on the basis of this synopsis. Policies, procedures and service levels differ from municipality to municipality. For example, some jurisdictions have a limit on the number of unwanted pets they will accept at any one time. P.A.W. has always felt obliged to accept unwanted pets for adoption provided they meet the established adoption criteria. Unfortunately, when the pound is filled to capacity and all other reasonable avenues have been exhausted, there is only one remaining solution to respond to the pet over population problem. What is obvious from the synopsis is that there is a very significant pet problem across the entire Region of Durham. The problems associated with irresponsible pet ownership are not exclusive to the P.A.W. service area. Based on the statistics provided, the other thing that becomes obvious is that some jurisdictions have more success than others in finding homes for unwanted and stray pets. P.A,W.'s Response to the Problem It was indicated earlier in this report, the root of the problem is irresponsible pet owners. Over the years, Pickering, Ajax and Whitby have been pro active in attempting to educate the public about the importance of responsible pet ownership. In addition to the efforts previously noted in this report, the municipalities have passed by-laws to prohibit the running at large of cats and dogs. Cats and dogs are required to be registered and differential registration fees have been introduced to encourage the spaying and neutering of pets. Pet owners with microchip pet identification qualify for reduced registration fees. In the Town of Whitby, a lifetime identification tag has been introduced in an attempt to encourage more owners to identify their pets. All three municipalities have door-to-door campaigns promoting pet identification and the importance of responsible pet ownership. ATTACH ffi Treasurer's Report, Item 3-01 ('Continued) Conclusions This is not to say that more can't be done to promote responsible pet care and reduce the number of pets that have to be put down. For example, the Municipality of Clarington Animal Services has a website that is devoted to placing unwanted and stray animals in good homes. When an animal is taken in for adoption, a picture of the animal is taken and the picture is immediately posted to their website. A number of municipalities place greater responsibility on the pet owner to find a suitable home for their unwanted pet rather than simply handing the problem over to the local animal control service. Some animal control service centres work more closely than others with animal rescue organizations to adopt and rescue pets. If P.A.W. is going to achieve any degree of success in reducing the number of pets euthanised each year it must develop a comprehensive approach that not only addresses the effect but also the cause of the problem. It is recommended that staff be directed to give this matter its immediate attention. Existing Policy: Refer to Analysis Alternatives: Refer to Analysis Financial Considerations: The challenge facing P.A.W. is to provide a reasonable, balanced and acceptable level of animal control service to the public recognizing the limited human and financial resources available. ANIMAL CONTROL SER;qCES PET ADOPTION AND EUTHANASIA POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Animal Adoptions: Unwanted or stray animals may be placed up for adoption subject to compliance with certain criteria. The Animal Control centre will only accept unwanted pets from people who reside within the P.A.W. area. Many phone calls are placed to the Centre from persons wishing to give up their pets who are non-residents of the P.A.W. area. These people are requested to contact their local animal control centres. There is also a fee associated with bringing in an unwanted pet. When the unwanted animal is delivered and signed over to the Centre, the owner is made aware that the animal is no longer their's and that there is no set time for holding animals for adoption and that adoptive placement cannot be guaranteed. The owner is also advised that if the animal is not adopted, it will be euthanised. In terms of unwanted animals, pet owners are questioned as to where they reside and why they are giving up the animal and, further, questions are asked regarding the animal's age, health, temperament, general habits, etc.. Based on the information provided, a decision is made by the Supervisor of Animal Control Services whether a particular animal would be suitable for adoption. The Centre will not accept and place up for adoption an animal which knowingly has problems. Stray animals which have become the legal property of the Animal Control Centre are evaluated more closely in considering them for adoption, since the history of the animal is unknown. Often in consultation with a local veterinarian, animals are evaluated as to the appropriate age for adoption, the temperament and general health of the animal, the ability of the animal to adjust to surroundings and (especially in terms of stray adult cats) whether the animal has been neutered and/or declawed. All animals placed up for adoption that do not have previous records of vaccinations are given one set of vaccinations prior to adoption. Rabies shots are not given, since only a qualified veterinarian can administer this type of vaccination. It is important to note that only those animals which have become the legal property of the Animal Control Centre can be offered for adoption. Animals are adopted on a first come, first served basis and are not held for prospective buyers. In adopting the animal, an adoption fee is required to be paid. In addition to the fee, vaccine information and a complimentary annual licence will be issued for the animal if the owner is a resident of Ajax, Pickering or Whitby. The Centre will not knowingly adopt out a pet which hasn't been spayed or neutered to a resident who has already indicated that they own a pet of the opposite sex which is also not spayed or neutered. This policy is based on the fact that the Centre is attempting to control the birth of unwanted pets. Such owners are advised that they would be eligible to adopt a second animal at such time as their current animal has been spayed or neutered. Animal Euthanasia: Euthanasia services are not offered at the Animal Control Centre for owners of pets wishing to have their animals euthanised. Unadopted animals or animals which are not suitable for adoption and which are the property of the Centre are euthanised by a local veterinarian. Unadopted animals may be placed in foster homes as an alternative to being euthanised when foster homes are available. Euthanasia services are performed twice weekly on a rotation basis by the local veterinarians. In exchange for veterinarian assistance and advice in this regard, the Animal Control Centre provides a removal service of dead animals from the local clinics in conjunction with the scheduled disposal run of dead animals from the Centre. Animals are currently disposed of in a controlled environment at the Metro Landfill Site.

That the Piekering, Ajax and Whitby Joint Animal Control Committee adopt the 2002 animal control budget estimates as set out in Treasurer's Report, Item 4-01; and 2. That the estimates be submitted to the Councils of Ajax, Picketing and Whitby for approval. Attached to this Report is a copy of the Committee Treasurer's Report 4-01 for your intbrmation. i would remind Council that Pickering has entered into an Agreement with Ajax and Whitby respecting the operation of the Animal Shelter that allocates operating expenses on a per capita basis and capital expenses on an equal basis. Therefore, for the Year 2002. Pickering is responsible for 35.49% of the total operating costs of $661.400.00 being $234,730.86 and is responsible for 33.3% of the total capital costs of $27,000.00 being $9,000.00 tbr a total of $243.730.86. It should be noted that there is no increase in capital costs and the operating costs have increased by 11.2%. In dollar terms, the operating costs have increased by $67,500 of which $50,000 is attributed to salary increases negotiated by CIJPE and $18,500 is attributed to increased spending on Customer Service Programs for the staff' and increased advertising in the three municipalities. The population figures used in the Committee Treasurer's Report are based on population data gathered by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation in 2000 tbr the election. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Ori igC.' The recommended 2002 animal control budget estimates are set out in Attachment No. 1 to this report. Analysis: The staff compliment remains unchanged in 2002. The wage and benefit package negotiated with the Canadian Union of Public Employees earlier this year accounts for the bulk of the budget increase. This said, it is important to note that employee wages and benefits are similar in Ajax, Picketing and Whitby. Provision has been made in the 2002 budget estimates for the introduction of a number of new initiates to promote responsible pet ownership and the adoption of homeless pets. Monies have been set aside for an advertising program to promote pet adoption and responsible pet ownership in Ajax, Pickering and Whitby. Provision has also been made to upgrade computer hardware and software to better serve the public and to develop an animal service website. Money has also been earmarked for a customer service training program to better equip staff with the skills required to provide superior animal care services. These and other program initiatives will be the subject of a further staff report which will be brought forward early in the new year for the P.A.W. Committee's consideration. Alternatives: N/A Existing Policy: N/A 3.32 Treasurer's Report, Item 4-01 (Continued) Financial Considerations: By agreement, operating revenues and expenditures are apportioned on a per capita basis between Ajax, Picketing and Whitby.

Hilts) Part of Lot 22, Range 3, B.F.C. (Lands on the east side of Liverpool Road and south of Wharf Street) City of Picketing On June 19, 2000, Council approved in principle zoning by-law amendment application A 23/99 to permit 17 toxvnhomes, commercial uses, a bed and breakfast, public parking and boat storage uses on tiao subject lands, subject to various conditions being fulfilled. The related Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2001-03 proposes to subdivide the lands in general accordance with thc development scheme presented to Council in June of 2000. The proposed development conforms to both the staff recommended City-initiated amendments to the Picketing Official Plan (ePA 01-001/P) and the Liverpool Road Waterfi'ont Node Development Guidelines provided to Planning Committee at their special November 26, 2001 Meeting. Committee has referred both ePA 01-001/P and the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines to Council for consideration on January 21, 2002. The enclosed draft implementing zoning by-law incorporates linfitations and restrictions set out by Council. A copy of Appendix I to Planning Report Number PD 28-00, outlining the conditions of approval adopted by City Council lbr this application, is enclosed. Conditions 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 have been fulfilled. Condition 3.0 required the owner to enter into a development agreement with the City prior to an implementing zoning by-law being forwarded to Council for consideration, to address various specific matters pertaining to the proposed development. Most of the matters outlined in the Condition 3.0 have been fulfilled with the exception of sub-clauses (c) through (g). These sub-clauses can be more appropriately implemented through the draft plan of subdivision and site plan approval processes (and related agreements resulting from those processes). It is recommended that Council require fulfilhnent of the remaining ccmdifion 3.0 requirements through conditions of draft approval for related Draft Plan o I' S ubdivision Application S-P-2001-03. Council considered proposed draft zoning by-law 5887/01 at its October 1,200l meeting, and deferred consideration of the matter. In that draft by-law, an "(H)" - Holding Symbol was established in the implementing zoning by-law, to be lifted prior to any townhouse dwelling units being constructed. Since the draft zoning by-law (A 23/99) and draft plan of subdivision application (S-P-2001-03) will now be considered by Council together, appropriate controls and conditions of draft plan approval can be established to ensure all conditions of zoning by-law approval are carried out and met. As such, there is no longer a need to require a holding symbol in the implementing zoning by-law. This new by-law replaces by-law 5887/01. Bruce 'l'avlor January 14. 2002 ~ 4 ]i.

TAYLOR Exhibit "A" to By-law AMENDMENT 7 TO THE CITY OF PICKERING OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT 7 TO TIlE CITY OF PICKERING OFFICIAL PLAN PURPOSE: LOCATION: BASIS: The purpose of the amenchnent is replace the Urban Study Area designation along Notion Road with a Mixed Employment designation on Schedule I - Land Use Structure, delete the related Urban Study Area: Notion Road hldustrial Area text policy 3.17 of the Plan, m~d establish new Village East Neighbourhood policies to guide development and redevelopment, to implement tile results of the Notion Road Land Use and Urban Design Study. The amenchnent-affects land located in Part of Lot 17, Concession 1, City of Pickering, adjacent to Notion Road. wtfich includes lands on the west side of Notion Road, between Pickering Parkway and Kingston Road, excluding the south-west comer of Kingston Road and Notion Road. The area is approximately 5 hectares in size. This amendment to the Pickering Official Plan has been deternfined to be apPropriate following thc completion of the Notion Road Land Use and Urban Design Study both lands in the City of Pickering, and abutting lands in the Toxvn of Ajax in the sunnner of 2001. The central issue is the land use compatibility between the existing heavy industry located on the Ajax lands, and the sun-otmding newer residential development in Picketing. The vision for the study is to facilitate the evolution of the Notion Road Area, over time, to a prestige employment area which is compatible with nearby residential development ttn:ough new developments, redevelopment, and pride of current ownerships, in partnership with City and Town infrastructure investment. The Land Use objective for Picketing is to establish a land use that will allow new development that will be compatible with existing residential uses to the west while co-existing with existing heavy industrial uses to the east. Accordingly, a Mixed Employment designation is appropriate. The Land Use Objective for tile abutting lands in Ajax is to establish a land use that will allow new emplo3qnent development that is compatible with nearby residential uses that will co-exist with heavy industrial uses until they cease operations at this location, while respecting the existing industrial operators. With this objective, Ajax Town-Council mnended the Ajax Official Plan to permit Prestige Employment uses on its study area lands with existing heavy industries pemfitted to remain, and expand in a limited manner subject to criteria.
