Isa James, Planner II, gave an overview of zoning amendment application A
21/09.
Gerry Gazarek the applicant appeared before the Committee in support of the
application. Mr. Gazarek noted that he had not expected to be before Council
requesting rezoning but also noted that he had not expected to be told that his
GM dealership was to shut down. Mr. Gazarek stated that he needed the
rezoning in order for his property to become viable again. He also noted that
rezoning was required because there were no opportunities for him to continue in
the auto industry at this time. Mr. Gazarek noted that'he was willing to work with
his neighbourhood and was looking for support after 32 years of contributing to
the community. He stated that he had no confirmed tenants for the property and
was not interested in opening up the Finch Avenue driveway to the property.
A representative for the application appeared before the Committee in support of
the application. He noted that the potential of housing in this area was unlikely
and stated that they were investigating what would work in the area. He noted
that they were aware they would have to work with the residents and were more
than happy to work on the plan together.
Catherine Reidt, 1744 Finch Avenue, appeared before the Committee and stated
that the Gazarek's are great neighbours and noted that the residents in the area
were looking forward to adding input into the process. She stated that they liked

the idea of a Medical Centre or professional buildings and noted that they would
like to see something with regular hours and quiet weekends. She noted that the
residents were concerned with additional traffic on Finch Avenue and also noted
that they would like to see an increased tree barrier. Ms. Reidt questioned how
much height could be placed on the building and noted that the residents did not
want to be shadowed by a high building. She also noted additional concerns of
drainage problems, additional fill on the site and garbage. Ms. Reidt stated that
she realized there would be future meetings and wanted to make sure they were
kept informed of the application. She also noted that residents would like to see
the driveway that goes onto Finch Avenue not incorporated into the new uses
and also stated that she did not want to see a strip mall.
A letter from Brockington Plaza Inc. and a petition from area residents were
submitted as correspondence to the application.

by developing a new first class neighbourhood facility and they feel it will
positively enhance the area. He stated that the application meets the land use
policies for the neighbourhood, City, Region and Province. He noted that the
plan provides enhanced employment opportunities in a new up to date
commercial area. He noted that the development would provide dollars to the

Chair: Councillor O'Connell
City in terms of Development Charges and taxes. He stated that the commercial
centre and live work units would accommodate some of the essential retail
service opportunities for the neighbourhood and also noted that the live work
units are highly desirable from a sustainable development perspective. Mr.
Fagyas also noted that the development would provide the adjacent Mosque with
desired services and felt that the development could help elevate some of the
existing parking problems in the area.
Irene Takeda, 1622 Rayleen Crescent, appeared before the Committee in
opposition to the application. She noted that additional development in the area
would just create additional traffic and parking problems and felt this
development would not alleviate the parking problems from the Islamic Centre.
She stated that on Friday afternoons her street is filled with cars that have
parked and walked to the Mosque. She noted that both sides of the street are
full and sometimes cars overhang across driveways. She stated that Brock
Road is impossible to drive on at times due to the amount of traffic. Ms. Takeda
stated that she did not see how this development would enhance the urban
forest and felt it would be detrimental to the forest and wildlife in the area. She
also noted that she felt there were too many buildings.
John Taylor, 1748 Finch Avenue, appeared before the Committee and asked for
clarification on what the jagged line represented on the plan. He noted that he
felt this development would take a lot of trees out and noted that he wanted to
continue to see wildlife in the area and felt the development would have a
negative impact on wildlife.
Jim Mason, 1734 Finch Avenue, noted that he thought the jagged line was the
mark of where the high water line was.
Stephen Fagyas of Commercial Focus Advisory Services stated that the jagged
line represented the top of bank. He noted that they were putting measures in
place to protect the wildlife by adding an additional 10 metres beyond the top of
bank. Mr. Fagyas noted that the development had 103 parking spaces and felt
that people would sooner park there than on the street.
A letter from Kindwin (Brock) Development Corporation and the Pickering Islamic
Centre, an email from residents at 1604 Rayleen Crescent and a petition from
area residents were submitted as correspondence to the application.

Mila Yeung, Planner I; gave an overview of zoning amendment application A
21/09.
A representative for the applicant appeared before the Committee in support of
the application and to answer any questions if required.
Phillip David, 507 Rougemount Drive appeared before the Committee in
opposition to the application. Mr. David felt that the applicant should have to
obey the by-laws put in place and noted that when they submitted an application
for a severance they had to conform to the by-laws.
Richard Fraser, 540 Rougemount Drive appeared before the Committee in
opposition to the application and stated that he felt the neighbourhood was being
degraded by the continuous reduction in lot sizes.
Trina Chiarelli, 524 Pineridge Road .appeared before the Committee in opposition
to the application. She noted that her property consisted of two 50 foot lots and
she was not able to divide it and questioned why this application was being
considered. She noted that there were no parks in the area, no sidewalks and
the water pressure was low so why would we continue to add additional housing
in the area.
Bill Kennedy, 516 Pineridge Road appeared before the Committee and noted
that he had lived in the area since 1982 and had seen several severances of
property in the neighbourhood. He noted that the zoning was R3 and should not
be changed to allow for the continuation of sub dividing- property.

Pam Spence, 705 Foster Court, appeared before the Committee and noted that
she was a member of the Cowan Circle Sub-Committee of the Rosebank South
Working Group. She noted that she would be addressing the issues of trees,
sustainability and wildlife and noted comments from the Urban Forest Strategy
long range initiatives. She stated that the group felt this particular urban
intensification development was not compatible with the Urban Forest Strategy
as it relates to a mature community developed in 1981. She noted that they
were concerned with the intense decimation of trees that would occur and how it
would impact the prime wildlife corridor form Petticoat Creek to Rouge River
Valley. She noted that the group would like to see full tree enhancement
planting as a sound barrier along the CNR railroad instead of a full man-made
sound barrier and suggested the road- allowance be moved further to the western
side so that 80% of the eastern tree line could be maintained. She noted that
TRCA, through correspondence to the City stated that every effort should be
made to retain forest cover in this area. Ms. Spence stated that the group
requests accountability and sustainable planning and leadership from their
Council that maintains and enhances their present established community.

Norma Chittenden, 504 Rosebank Road, appeared before the Committee and
noted she was a member of the Rosebank Working Group. She stated that she
was there to express traffic concerns that the Cowan Circle application along
with the already approved Milton Road development and the proposed
reconstruction of the Rodd Avenue Pumping station would have on the
community. She stated that the multiple construction jobs would greatly increase
the number of vehicles in the area and create additional safety issues. She
noted that cramming additional homes on small lots serves to detract from what
was once a very desirable and unique neighbourhood to live. She noted that
they were not against development of the area but would like to maintain the
integrity of Rosebank South. She noted that the group had been involved in
traffic studies and stated that the number of cars that were counted ,clearly notes
this area is a corridor for commuters and add to this construction traffic and there
will certainly be a traffic nightmare. She stated that the pumping station
construction should be given priority over the two developments to avoid any
further breakdowns. She noted that these three projects should not be allowed
to proceed together.
Kate Cherrett, 518 Rosebank Road appeared before the Committee and noted
she was a member of the Rosebank Working Group. She stated that she was
here to reiterate the concerns of the community raised at the first public meeting
and concerns regarding the issue of multiple construction projects. She noted
that the lot sizes were too small and numerous and did not blend or conform to
the existing community. She stated that the construction of the Pumping Station
had not been started and there was no firm date as to when this would be
completed. There is no clear plan in place to minimize the impact on trees or
wildlife around the development of this area. She noted that traffic is already an
issue within the South Rosebank community and when you add 3 construction
projects it will be a nightmare. She stated there is only one access road suitable
for heavy equipment so construction traffic will have no option but to use
residential streets and pass by 2 schools to reach each site. Ms. Cherrett
questioned how Council intends to limit the impact of having 3 projects underway
at the same time. She questioned whether Council would limit the number of
heavy trucks entering the area, what they had planned to implement noise
control and whether the roads would be washed daily. She stated that she felt
only one construction project should be allowed to process at one time and felt it
should start with the Pumping Station.
James Chaikalis, 719 Cowan Circle appeared before the Committee and stated
that three rezoning applications have had 45 to 50 percent lot sizes with 15
metre frontages. Mr. Chaikalis stated he does not like the sizes of the lots.

that the development was not compatible in lot sizes or compatible with the
existing community. He noted he was concerned with multiple projects going on
at the same time and how it would affect the community. He noted that the
Community would like to see an H Holding placed on the application. Mr.
Brenner also questioned how this would affect the environment.
Gary Templeton, Planning Consultant for the applicant appeared before the
Committee in support of the application and to answer questions if required. He
noted that they probably wouldn't be drawing permits for this project until the end
of 2011.
Alex Keith, 448 Toyvale Road, appeared before the Committee and stated that
numerous promises had been made in regards to the Pumping Station
construction being done and noted it still has been started. He stated that there
should be no development until the pumping station improvements have been
completed.

RE: Pickering RibFest and Pets
Both the Pickering and Ajax Rotary Clubs are looking forward to hosting this year's
RibFest. As the event continues to grow, it sometimes presents new issues that need to
be addressed. During the first two years of RibFest, we allowed pets into the festival. In
year one, we had a nominal number of dogs and in year two the number of dogs jumped
to 158. With the success of this event, we think there may be even more dogs attend with
their owners in 2010. We think that with the increasing number of people and pets, there
could be issues of health and safety. It may be only a matter of time before someone is
accidentally bitten. This could jeopardize our event insurance and put multiple parties at
a potential liable risk.
We have done a survey of a number of other RibFest's in other cities and have attached
examples. All Rotary RibFest's are Pet-free due to health and safety concerns. We think
our event in Pickering should follow suit and be Pet-free as well.
Both Rotary Clubs respectively ask for City Council to endorse the Pickering RibFest as
a Pet-free annual event. City Council has our assurance that if this request is approved,
„y,. -
we will take the steps to advertise this fact in all our advertising.
Your kind consideration to this request would be greatly appreciated. h T

Dear Ms Shields:
Re: Rogers Site "9`h Concession & 6th Sideline", C3673
Proposed Telecommunications Tower - 9th Concession and 6`h Sideline
Part of Lot 7, Concession 9
On behalf of Rogers Wireless ("Rogers"), I would like to submit a site information
package concerning a proposed wireless site located at the above noted location as
required by Industry Canada Directive CPC 2-0-03. This directive requires the applicant
to make our submission to Council, but going forward we will address this issue with
planning staff.
Project Description & Proposed Location
Rogers is constantly improving and expanding its infrastructure to meet the ever-growing
demand for high-quality reliable wireless and data services. The proposed site is needed
to improve our wireless and data services in and around the vicinity of Athens.
The following is a brief overview of the site:
1. Tower type: Self Supported/Free standing, 60 metres in height.
2. Equipment Cabinets: 2 mechanical equipment cabinets are to be located at the
base of the tower. These cabinets will house the radio equipment used to operate
the site.
3. Notification forms: A copy of the standard public notification form and
newspaper notice is attached.
Municipal Consultation Process
Rogers Wireless is regulated and licensed by Industry Canada to provide inter-provincial
wireless and data services. As a federal undertaking, Rogers is required by Industry
Canada to consult with land-use authorities in siting tower locations. The consultation
process established under Industry Canada's authority is intended to allow the local land-
use authorities the opportunity to address land-use concerns while respecting the federal
40
government's exclusive jurisdiction in the siting and operation of wireless and data
systems.
As the provisions of the Ontario Planning Act and other municipal by-laws and
regulations do not apply to federal undertakings, Rogers is however required to follow
established and documented wireless protocols or processes set forth by land-use
authorities. In instances where those established and documented processes do not exist,
Rogers must follow Industry Canada's Default Consultation Process; a copy of Industry
Canada's CPC-2-0-03 (Issue 4) is attached describing such default consultation
processes.
In accordance with Industry Canada's CPC, please provide us with a list of property
owners within 180 metres from the tower location as illustrated in the site information
package. For your reference a map showing the properties that fall within the 180 metre
radius is contained in the top left corner of the site plan. Rogers will in turn issue
notification letters (see standard notification letter) for circulation. Rogers will also post
a notice (see standard newspaper notice) in the local newspaper.
Once circulation efforts and notice periods end, Rogers will prepare a summary report for
the municipality's review.
Collocation
Co-location is not possible in this particular situation as there are no other suitable
existing or proposed tower structures in the vicinity that would provide adequate wireless
coverage.
Conclusion
Rogers feels that the proposed site is well located to provide and improve wireless and
data services in the targeted area. The proposed site is also situated and designed so as to
have minimal impact on surrounding land uses.
Rogers looks forward to working with City in providing better service. Kindly review
the site information package; please contact me at 416-402-1169 or
matthew.milli gan a,rci.rogers.com if there are questions.
Yours truly,

On behalf of the Pickering Advisory Committee on Race Relations & Equity, please accept this
memorandum as a formal request that the City of Pickering proclaim March 21, 2010 as the
International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Since 1966, March 21St has

Discrimination in response to"the killing of 70 peaceful demonstrators in Sharpeville, South Africa
in 1960.
On February 20, 2010, the Pickering Advisory Committee on Race Relations & Equity
commemorates Heritage Day with a lively community celebration of Pickering's rich heritage and
cultural diversity at the Pickering Town Centre. However, on this occasion, David Pickles, Chair,
Pickering Advisory Committee on Race Relations & Equity and committee members would like to
commemorate March 21St by way of proclamation so that our community can continue to be aware
of the harmful effects of racism and discrimination and of the leadership of the municipal
government to foster equality, respect and diversity.
The Pickering Advisory Committee on Race Relations & Equity will also be hosting a Race
Relations Forum on March 24, 2010 in Council Chambers in order to commemorate March 21 St
This forum will showcase winning entries of the student creative arts contest about diversity, race
relations and equity - an initiative presented by the Pickering Advisory Committee on Race
Relations & Equity in partnership with the Durham District School Board and the Durham Catholic
District School Board. The Forum will also include guest speaker Honourable Jean Augustine,

RE: Proclamation of the International Day Against Homophobia
on 17 May 2010, and raising the Rainbow Flag
For the next edition of the International Day Against Homophobia on May 17, PFLAG Canada
which works within local and regional communities, invites the City of Pickering to make a
meaningful gesture to combat homophobia and discrimination based on sexual orientation.
A privileged moment to set up initiatives to fight against homophobia, this theme day calls out to
the public and workers in all communities as well as those actively involved in civil society.
Legislators, governments, and municipal administrators are also invited to this large annual
gathering of forces.
We therefore request the City of Pickering to pass a resolution proclaiming May 17 as the
International Day Against Homophobia & Transphobia at its next meeting. With each year more
and more municipal officials in Canada are using this day to send out to their fellow citizens a
message of tolerance, openness, and hope.
The second effort we propose consists in raising the Rainbow Flag on one of the municipality's
flagpoles on May 17. Representing sexual minorities' victories and struggles for equality, this flag
is an international symbol of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and transsexual (LGBT)
communities.
Sincerely yours,

Your Worship, KliPE MGRCUST&ADIVI
We thank you for taking part in our Ontario wide initiative last year in declaring English a 7 econd Language
Week during the week in which our annual conference took place. I am writing on behalf of TESL Ontario
(Teachers of English as a Second Language) to invite you io again take part in our Ontario wide initiative and
declare the week of October 24th to 30th 2010 as ",English as a Second Lan ua e Week". Given the ever
growing diversity of the population of Ontario, we hope you will once more support our efforts and grant us this
request. In 2009, twenty-nine municipalities declared English as a Second Language Week and we hope that
this number will continue to grow, offering Ontario's ESL community recognition and an opportunity to celebrate,
and expand its development.
For 37 years, TESL Ontario has held its Annual Conference to provide professional development for educators,
administrators, students and volunteers who work with immigrants, refugees, citizens, and visitors. This year, our
conference'TWO SOLITUDES - Research and Teaching: A-Collaborative Process" will be held October 28th to
30th, 2010 and we will be honoured if representatives of your council can participate.
Last year's TESL Ontario conference attracted 1600 registrants. Our members travel from across the province
and beyond to attend workshops, research symposia, our technology fair and publishers' displays. For many of
us, this annual journey to Toronto marks a time when.we can share our experiences, expand our skills, and
reaffirm the positive contribution that our province makes to diversity.
Having established a set of criteria to ensure measurable qualifications among ESL professionals, TESL Ontario,
a non-profit organization, ensures that training institutions offering teacher training meet the highest standards.
As we demand the best qualifications of our members, and the best in training from our teaching programs, we
offer the best in second language education to our students, who in turn, contribute a wealth of knowledge and
experience to our communities.
Attached, please find our suggested wording of the proclamation. If you have any suggestions or comments as
to the content of this document, please contact our Executive Director, Renate Tilson, at 416-593-4243 ext. 4. l
Thank you for your consideration,

received:
2. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the Amending Municipal

Executive Summary: The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) is
administering the gas tax funding program on behalf of the Federal Government for all
municipalities in Ontario with the exception of the City of Toronto. As administrator,
AMO has provided municipalities with an Amending Municipal Funding Agreement that
implements the main elements of the agreement between the Government of Canada,
the Province of Ontario and AMO. The original agreement provided for the transfer of
funds for the period 2005-2009 during which time $7.1 million was transferred to the
City. The Amending Agreement covers the period 2010 to 2014 during which time it is
anticipated approximately $10.8 million will be transferred to the City.

Financial Implications: The City received $7.1 million over five years 2005-2009 on
a semi-annual basis. All monies must be expended on eligible infrastructure projects by
December 31, 2012. All monies from the extension period must be expended on
eligible infrastructure projects no later than December 31, 2016. In 2010 payment will
be made as soon as AMO receives the fully executive Amending Funding Agreement
and the By-law authorizing the agreement as provided for in the report and the
completion of the 2009 Gas Tax reporting requirements.

The'City is required to submit an "Annual Expenditure Report", "Outcomes Report" and
Compliance Audit Report or Municipal Treasurer's Certificate by March 31 st each year,
following the municipal fiscal year to account for the funds received, expenditures made
and progress achieved on an annual basis.
Sustainability Implications: Continuation of this grant program contributes
significantly to the City's infrastructure and financial sustainability.
Background: In February 2005, the Federal Government announced that in 2005-
06 Canada's cities and communities would receive a share of the Federal gas tax
revenues for environmentally sustainable municipal infrastructure. On June 17, 2005, in
fulfillment of this budgetary commitment, the Governments of Canada and Ontario, and
AMO signed the Agreement for the Transfer of Federal Gas Tax Revenues under the
New Deal for Cities and Communities. This agreement provided a framework for the
transfer of gas tax funds to Ontario communities for investment in environmentally
sustainable infrastructure. Over $1.8 billion in funds flowed to Ontario's municipalities
over the next five years
Eligible Investments
This program is not application based, but allows municipalities to make investments
within the guidelines as established by the Federal Government. Environmentally
sustainable municipal infrastructure projects are eligible within one of the following
categories: public transit, water, waste water including storm water systems,
community energy systems, local roads bridges and tunnels. For local roads and
bridges projects, municipalities must submit in writing to AMO appropriate
documentation, prior to spending the funds, outlining the impact of such investments on
Report CS 06-10 March 8, 2010
Subject: Federal Gas Tax Revenues Amending Agreement Page 3 5
sustainability outcomes. Spending in other eligible project categories does not require
pre-approval.
Incremental Principle
A key condition of the agreement is that the funding either enabled a project's
implementation, enhanced its scope or accelerated its timing. This condition was
placed so that municipalities would not reduce,other infrastructure funding and not to
displace current capital. investments or use the funding to' reduce municipal taxes.
Senior. levels of government (Federal & Provincial) both recognize that there is an
"infrastructure deficit" and they want this program to help address this deficit.
Eligible Costs
The Municipal Funding Agreement permits incurred eligible costs after April 1, 2005 for
eligible projects that contribute to environmentally sustainable infrastructure. A full
discussion of eligible and ineligible costs can be found in Report CS 92-05.
The Federal Gas Tax Revenue Agreement is an important recognition by the Federal
Government of the challenges faced by municipalities in addressing infrastructure
needs. The intent of this program is -to provide Ontario municipalities with a source of
stable, predictable and long-term funding towards environmentally sustainable
municipal infrastructure projects which support environmental outcomes of cleaner air,
water and reduced greenhouse emissions.
Under the program's guidelines, the City was required to establish a Federal Gas Tax
Reserve Fund-for the purpose of "receipt, maintenance and disbursement of Federal
Gas Tax revenues". In addition, the City will be required to submit an "Annual
Expenditure Report",. "Outcomes Rep.ort" and Compliance Audit Report or Municipal
Treasurer's Certificate by March 31 s following the fiscal year to account for the funds
received, expenditures made and progress achieved on an annual basis.
Amending Agreement
The major components of the Amending Municipal Funding Agreement, for example
eligible project categories, eligible costs and expenditure reporting requirements, remain
the same. New in the extension, however is a change to the municipal audit
requirements: If Gas Tax Funds were not used during the municipal fiscal year, the
Treasurer is now required to submit a signed Treasurer's Certificate to that effect.

While Nomad Road was dedicated by Plan of Subdivision 40M-1366 as a public highway, it has
been determined through the assumption process that the process to effect the dedication of the
corner roundings has not yet occurred.
Accordingly as Parts 6 and 7, Plan 40R-6007 have been constructed to standards satisfactory to
permit public access, they should now be dedicated as public highway.
Attached is a location map and a draft by-law for the consideration of City Council at its meeting
scheduled for March 8, 2010.
