1. Possession of Replica and Imitation Firearms By-law
(Refer to CORR. 8-06 from the Township of SCUqOq)
P.C. Petzold and Inspector Douglas, Durham Regional Police Service, appeared
before the Council to brief them on the Township of Scugog's by-law regarding
the possession of replica and imitation firearms, the history behind the passing of
the by-law and a request to endorse the by-law. P.C. Petzold requested that the
City of Pickering investigate the options of approving a similar by-law. He stated
that if the municipalities in Durham Region all passed a similar by-law
enforcement would be more consistent across Durham Region.
Inspector Douglas noted that the passing of these by-laws would be an added
tool that the police could use in protecting children and the community.
A detailed question and answer period ensued.

Dear Head of Council:
"'Q
....~
1 would like to infonn you of Si:;¡me of oW' govern.i'l1ent' s intentions related to extending the
length of the term of offiœ Îor municipai councillors and school trustees.
Yesterday,. at the Ontario Good. Roads Association-Rura! Ontario Municipal Association's
annual meeting. Premier Dalton McGuinty announced our govenmlent's plan to propose
legislative change.s to the Muni.cipal Elections Act, 1996. If passed, these changes would extend
the term of office for municipal councils and school boards to four years from three with a view
to strengthening local government.
Over the last few years. we have listened to many municipal dedsion-m~tke:rs who have
advocated for a longer term of office for local government representatives in Ontario. If the
proposed legislation passes, municipal leaders and school trustees vfJl be elected for four-year
terms.
A four-year term would provide municipal councils and school boards with more time to plan
and implement their agendas, in a similar fashion to the federal and provincial governments.
If the legislation passes, Ontario would be in step with half of the provinces it!. Canada~ including
Quebec, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and New ]ßrunswick~ which
(.,"Urrently have four-year terms.
As you know? the election cycle began January 1,2006. lfpassed, the legislation would make
the change e,eCf've for the 2006 municipal election.s, and successful candidates in November's
coming elec . ns QuId begin their four-year tenns on December 1. 2006.

strongly believe we have strw:;k the right balance in our legîslation, and we are confident that it
wiU prove to be solid public policy.
We are also proposing new legislation that would mandate a futuIe review focusing on the actual
expt:1Ìcnœ of dIe; U\;W goveman~t:: model in practice. The proposed legislation, if passed, would
take effect on Or before June 30, 2006 and would provide for the following:
"1.1 A commitment for the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to undertakel
beginning no later than 2012, a review of the governance model for the OMERS Pension
Plan put in place through the devolution process (Bill 206).
1.2 The review would focus on the actual experience of the OMERS govemanœ model in
practice, and wQuld include (but not be limited to) the following areas:
a) The ¢ffectiveness and fairness of the overall governance framework in representing
the interes.ts of employees and employers and ensuring efficient governance and
accountability of the OMERS pension plan;
b) The efficiency and effectiveness of Sponsors Corporation dedsion-making" including
any use of alternative dispute resolution; and
ç) The effectiveness of the governance framework in ensuring the overall fairness of the
plan and its overall financial stability) including ensuring that c-.ross-suosidization is
not occurring between the primary pension plan and supplemental plans.

1.4 The review wíIl be conducted by an independent person mutually aCI..".eptabJe to the
Minister and to the employer .and employee representative groups, with collective
bargaining and pension exp~rtise. Failing mutual acceptability, to be appointed by the
Chief Justice.
1.5 A report and any asso<CÌated recommendations will be provided to the Minist~! and made
public within 30 days of the Minister receiving the report, The Mini:>ter will give serious
consideration to the recommendations contained in the report.
1.6 There would also be provision that after the Ìirst full valuation and in any event no later
than 2009, the Minister or his or her designate will consult with the employee and
employer representative groups to assess progress in effectively implementing the
legislation, including governance matters."
We lo,>k forward to this future teyiew of the actual practices of the new OMERS governance

Plan Chanees
The modifications issued by the Province on February I, 2006 are proposing a population of
70,000 persons and 35,000 jobs. In April 2005 when Regional Council provided
recommendations to the .MMAH, the Development Plan was in its early stages and the planning
area was anticipated to accommodate approximately 52,000 people and 33,000 jobs. The
proposed modifications add 18,000 additional persons and 2,000 additional jobs compared to the

Plan commented upon by York Region Council in April 2005, The modifications add an
additional 10,000 persons and 5,000 jobs compared to the Plan released by the Province in July
2005,
An important issue is the lack of transportation facilities in the southeast part of York Region to
accommodate the proposed growth. The Transportation Study completed in support of the Plan
only reflected the earlier proposed development level of 60,000 persons and 30,000 jobs. The
Province's modifications propose a 17% increase in level of development without the
conesponding transportation analysis. The previous transportation study only identified the road
and transit improvements in the immediate development area and did not analyse transportation
requirements external to the study area, including those within York Region. This is a very
significant shortcoming of the CUlTent transportation analysis, which needs to be addressed prior
to finalization of the Plan.
Y q[k Remon's Ori2Jnal Recommendations
In April200S Regional Council endorsed PJanning staffs recommendations which requested the
following:
1. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) and Durham Region initiate a
coordinated transportation infrastructure review to consider the impact of Seaton and the
proposed Pickering airport on in1Ì"astructure improvements in York Region. Development
proposed by Seaton will require, as a minimum, the following road and transit
improvements:
· Completion of the Markham Bypass 407 - 401 Link.
· Modification of the Highway 407/9th Line and Highway 407/Markham Bypass
interchanges to allow traffic ftom the south to access Highway 407.
· Widening of 14tb Avenue from the York Durham Line to the Markham By-pass
Extension.
· Widening of the Y orklDurbaln Line from Stee1es Avenue to Highway 7.
· Widening of Highway 7 from YorkJDurham Line to Highway 48 (currently under
MTO jwisdiction).
· Extension of the dedicated right-of-way rapid transit services heine planned along
Highway 7.
· Extension of local transit routes in Markham.
· In the longer tenn. the construction of the northern Markham Bypass- Highway 404
link, identified in the York Transportation Master Plan which will connect Seaton to
me 404 north area.
· The long tcnn construction of the Highway 407 Transit way.
2. The transportation review was to provide an implcmentation plan that addressed phasing
and fundine from the Province and/or a mechanism to enable York Region to construct
and pay for the work required to accommodate the growth;

3. An expeditious review of the EA for the Markham Bypass Highway 401 - 407 Link
4. MMAH to initiate and participate in a coordinated sanitary sewer infrastructure review
with other Provincial ministries, York and Durham Regions to address the servicing
options and provide an implementation plan that provides for phasing, funding and timely
approvals from the Province.
York Region's reconunendations are included in Attachment No.1 to this letter. The over.all
intent of the Region's recommendations was to have the Province show leadership in
coordinating, implementing and funding the necessary infrastructure required to serve a new
community of 50,000 persons and 30,000 jobs.
Minister's Modifications
The Minister's modifications do not address the overall intent of York Region's
recommendations. The modifications do not have the Province taking a leadership role in
coordinating the cross boundary transportation impacts, do not acknowledge the road
improvements in York Region that are required to support development of Seaton, and do not
provide a mechanism to fund the required road, transit or servicing infrastructure.
The Minister's modifications require the coordination of interregional transportation
infrastructure by:
"encouraging co-operation between provincial ministries, The Regional Municipalities of York
and Durham and the City of Toronto to coordinate transportation planning decisions.... II
(modification # 17)
York Region requested the Province bring the stakeholders together to ensure a comprehensive
transportation review was carried out and an implementation plan put in place. The
implementation plan would link population thresholds with the completion of transportation
infrastructure (phasing plan). Furthermore, the Province was requested to assist in the funding
for the required transportation infrastructure or provide a mechanism for York Region to pay for
this infrastructure which is needed to support the development of Seaton. The current Provincial
modifications do not address this important issue.
Modification #27 inserts a new policy that states:
"Require that the Province, in making transportation infrastructure investment
decisions that impact on the Development Planning Area, consult with affected
municipalities to maximize the opportunity for aligning provincial and municipal
capital priorities, within the context of achieving the intent of the proposed
Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe."

However, this policy only requires consultations and does not provide the commitment to
infrastructure implementation that is an absolute necessity.
ModifICation # 31 does indicate that ".. .As part of the Master Environmental Servicing Plan, a
phasing plan shall be prepared for the construction of major community facilities, trans po nation.
links and slorm:water, water and wastewater servicing... It However, the modification fails to
identify the major transportation infrastructure that is needed to support a population of 70,000
persons and 35,000 jobs and does not provide any funding, or funding mechani~m.
Additional Modifications belnA' ProDOSed b", York Remon
To ensure York Region's previous recommendations are included in the Central Pickering
Development Plan additional modifications are being requested. The additional modifications
are limited to the requirements for York Region. We will leave it to other municipalities to
advocate for required modifications important to their jurisdiction. Would you kindly include
the following additional modifications:
1. Add the following at the end of modification #17:
"In recognil:ion of the importance of the movement of goods and people in this area, the
Province will enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with York Region.
Durham Region and the City of Toronto on transpOrtation infrastructure that is located
outside of, but having a direct impact on. the Development Planning Area. The MOD will
include the following:

Highway 407 - 401 Link to the Seaton Development Planning Arca and suppon for
the Regions of York and Durham in their efforts to have this vitalllilk constructed.
2. Add the following at the end of modification # 31:
"The phasing plan shall ensure that residential and non residential development does not
precede the required transportation improvements and occurs concurrently and
incrementally as the transportation improvements arc constructed and put into operation.
Conditions of draft plan approval for plans of subdivision located within the
Development Plan Area will utilize triggers tkd to transportation and servicing
infrastructure such that final approval and registration does not occur until 6 months prior
to the infrastructure bein¡ in service.
The phasing plan shall provide for the development of employment lands concurrent with
the development of residential lands and provide the ability to meet the population to
employment ratio of 1 job for every 1.97 to 1.76 residents. as identified in the
Development Plan:'
3. Include the additional paragraph at the end of the Implementation seétion. as follows:
"The Master Environmental Servicing Plan(s) shall be circulated to York Region for
their review and comment and to ensure it is satisfactory to York Region. The
expeditious approval of the expansion to the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control
Plant, which will provide the necessary servicing capacity for full build out of the
Seaton Community and other approved planned growth in Durham and York Regions,
is required prior to development occurring within the Development Plan area."

The Canadian Liver Foundation is dedicated to promoting liver health and to reducing the
incidence and impact of all liver diseases. Founded in 1969 the Canadian Liver
Foundation (CLF) was the first organization in the world devoted exclusively to
providing support, research and education into hepatitis and other forms of liver disease.
Through our extensive research program, the Foundation has been able to provide much-
needed funding to liver specialists across the country. Also, the CLF has over 30 chapters
across the country that provide liver health information and on-going support for liver
disease patients and their families.
The Canadian Liver Foundation has also opened a new chapter in the Durham Region
and is hosting its first event in June 2006 called "Stroll For Liver" in memory ofKyla
Ruttle, an 11 year old child who passed away due to liver disease.
During the month of March, the Canadian Liver Foundation chapters hold a variety of
fundraising and educational events to raise public awareness of liver health and liver
disease. Therefore, we ask that the City of Pickering proclaim the month of March 2006
"Liver Health Month".
With your help, the Canadian Liver Foundation can provide help to liver disease patients
and their families and raise more funds to minimize the fourth leading cause
of death by disease in Can.,aciCl ~triking men, women and children everyday.

the fact that it could disturb the banks of the water, as noted in the Marine
Protection Act.

clarification for zoning boundaries as he owned 200 acres in the subject area. He

City of Pickering
The Chair called for any delegations from the floor who may wish to speak to the
Executive Committee with respect to this matter.
Sylvia Spencer, 771 Sheppard Avenue East, appeared before the Committee

should be semi-detached and with respect to Block B - Parkland, requested that
this be completed now.
Irene Moult, 838 Sheppard Avenue East, appeared before the Committee in
opposition to block after block of townhouses. She requested clarification with
the rezoning of the lands and if the existing dwellings would hold lawful non-
conforming status. She further stated her objection to twenty-four driveways onto

concern with the enforcement of the speed limit in this area.

detached should have been built on this property, rather than a townhouse
development.

the proposed driveway configuration, which could allow for up to four cars to be
parked.

Date: March 6, 2006
From:
Neil Carroll
Director, Planning & Development
Subject:
Direction on City Staff Involvement on an Appeal
to the Ontario Municipal Board
Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 6/01
Glenda Winterstein
5015 Brock Road
(South Part of Lot 18, Concession 9)
City of Pickering
Recommendation:
1. That City Council take no position on the appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board
of Zoning By-law 6525/05 by the Region of Durham, to permit five dwelling units
and one commercial unit at 5015 Brock Road North.
2. That the City Solicitor be directed to attend the OMB hearing to convey the City's
position.
Executive Summary: A zoning by-law amendment was approved by City Council
as a result of an application by Glenda Winterstein for the property at 5015 Brock Road
in Claremont. The application was to permit the existing building to have five residential
dwelling units and one commercial unit. Staff recommended that the application be
approved for only four residential dwelling units and one commercial unit as a private
sewage system for the site can only accommodate four dwelling units. Council
approved the application for five residential dwelling units and passed Zoning By-law
6525/05 to implement its decision. An appeal was filed by the Region of Durham on the
grounds that five residential dwelling units cannot be properly serviced by the private
on-site sewage system.
The purpose of this report is to seek Council direction respecting its position on this
matter at the OMS hearing scheduled for March 21, 2006.
It is recommended that the City take no position at the OMB hearing, as the issue of the
appeal is a technical matter related to the ability to provide appropriate private services
to the subject property. The Region of Durham Health Department is the approval
authority for private services, therefore the matter of the maximum number of dwelling
units permitted on the subject property should be considered having regard to their
comments. The City Solicitor will attend the hearing to convey the City's position.
Report PD 20-06
Date: March 6, 2006
Q5,1.
Subject: Glenda Winterstein (A 6/01 )
Page 2
Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the
proposed recommendation.
1.0 BackQround:
Application
The subject property is located on the east side of Brock Road, north of Central
Street in the Hamlet of Claremont. The subject property currently supports a
combination of a one storey and two storey building, which contains a
commercial use (hair salon), five apartment units, and a detached garage located
in the rear yard (see Location Map and Applicant's Submitted Plans,
Attachments #1 & #2). The property is currently zoned 'C2' which does not
permit residential apartment units.
The only significant issue on the appropriateness of the application is related to
the provision of private services. The applicant submitted a report titled
"Sewage System Design Winterstein Residence," by Jagger Hims Limited, that
indicates a sewage system design to accommodate the commercial use and four
apartments can be implemented. The Region of Durham Health Department has
advised that the proposed sewage system design can be implemented for the
property containing the commercial use and four apartments only. The intensity
of use of the property is constrained by the availability of space for a private
sewage system.
Staff recommended that the zoning amendment application be approved for only
four residential dwelling units and one commercial unit, as a private sewage
system for the site can only accommodate four dwelling units. This position was
based on the engineering report submitted by the applicant and reviewed and
recommended by the Health Department for the Region of Durham. However,
Council approved the application for five residential dwelling units on June 6, 2005,
and passed amending Zoning By-law 6525/05 on the same day.
Appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board
The appeal has been filed by the Region of Durham on the grounds that
five residential dwelling units cannot be properly serviced by the private on-site
sewage system and therefore would not comply with the Durham Region Official
Plan that requires all development in Hamlets to be serviced by private services
and in compliance with the standards of the Region of Durham and Ministry of
Environment.

Staff Position
The issue that will be before the OMB is whether the subject property can
support four or five dwelling units. The technical information that has been
presented to date is that the proposed sewage system design can only support
four dwelling units. It is anticipated that the Region of Durham will present
professional opinion evidence that only four units can be serviced on the
property. It is anticipated that no technicallprofessional evidence will be present
to indicate that five dwelling units could be serviced on the property.
Further, it is City staff's understanding that the Region is presently discussing a
potential settlement with the applicant for a by-law which permits four dwelling
units (and one commercial unit). If an agreement is reached a revised zoning
by-law that permits four dwelling units will be submitted to the OMB for approval.
It is recommended that the City Solicitor attend the OMS hearing set for
March 21, 2006 to convey the City's position. City planning staff would only
attend the hearing if requested by the OMB, or under subpoena.

NOTICE OF APPEAL
Re: Appeal of the City. of Pickering Council's Decision to Pass Zoning
By-Law 6525/05 . .
File Number: A06/01 .
Applicant Glenda Winterstein
Municipality: City of Pickering
Please be advised that the Regional MuniCipality of Durham appeals the
decision of the City of Pickering, dated June 6, 2005, in the above noted
matter. A cheque payable to the Minister of Finance in the amount of $125.00
is enclosed. .
The subject property is located north of Central Street and east of Brock Road
in the Hamletof Claremont. The applicant proposes to amend the existing
commercial use in order to permit 5 existing residential apartment dwelling'
units ínaddition to the commercial use.
The reasons for this appeal areas follows:
1. . The proposed use does not conform to the policies of Durham R~gional
Official, Plan (the "OfficiAl Plan"t SAction 13.3.5 of the, Official· Plan
. ' . \. ~
permits development within hamlets to be serviced with private drilled
wells and private sewage disposal systems where groundwater quantity
and quality p~rmits, and in compliance with the standards. of the Region
and the Ministry of the Environment.
The engineering report by Jagger Hims Limited, as submitted by the
applicant to Pickering City Council, concludes that the approved
replacement sewage disposal system on the subject property is only
capable of supporting a total design daily sewage flow of4,OOO
iitres/day. Zoning By-Law 6525/05, as passed by Pickering City Council,
allows the proposed building to generate 4,750 ¡itres/day which exceeds
the maximum allowable sewage flow based on usable area and
allotment of usage in the building and as such is not in compliancewith
the standards of the Region.
