That Report CS 41-05 regarding alterations to the ward boundaries be received. That the alterations to the ward boundaries set out in Report CS 41-05 be accepted in principle and the draft by-law to implement the said alterations to the ward boundaries be referred to the Council Meeting of June 20, 2005 to provide the public with an opportunity to address the alterations in accordance with Section 222(2) of the Municipal Act, 2001. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary actions to give effect thereto. Executive Summary: The purpose of this Report is to implement the minor alterations to the ward boundaries as directed by Council at the Management Forum Meeting of May 2, 2005. Financial Implications: Not applicable Background: At the Management Forum Meeting of May 2, 2005, it was the consensus of Council that staff make minor alterations to the current ward boundaries to reflect changes in the urban boundary and to provide a reasonable realignment of the ward boundary in the area of Merritton Road. Report CS 41-05 Ward Boundary Changes May 13, 2005 Page 2 The northerly boundary between Wards I and 3 follows the hydro right-of-way between Fairport Road and Rosebank Road. This boundary was established in 1982 when the urban boundary of Pickering followed the hydro right-of-way. The urban boundary now follows the CP Rail right-of-way and it would be prudent to move the boundary between Wards 1 and 3 from the hydro right-of-way to the CP right-of-way. This will have the effect of moving 56 households that are located on Collingsbrook Court and Craighurst Court from Ward 3 to Ward 1. The households located on these streets were constructed prior to the 2003 general municipal election and approximately 107 people were eligible to vote in that election. This ward boundary change will also have the effect of moving 149 households from Sunbird Trail from Ward 3 to Ward 1, however, this subdivision is still under construction and there were no voters from this street in the 2003 general municipal election. Attached is a map showing the ward boundary change. The ward boundary between Wards 1 and 2 in the area of Merritton Road runs along the northern limit of "Old Kingston Road" between Fairport Road and the CN right-of- way. The road allowance of "Old Kingston Road" between Fairport Road and Merritton Road has been closed and therefore the proposed car dealership will be partly in Ward 1 and partly in Ward 2 and the few properties that are located along that shod portion of Sheppard Avenue between Merritton Road and the CN right-of-way will be in Ward 2 if they are on the north side of the road and in Ward I if they are on the south side of the road. It would be prudent to move that ward boundary southward to Kingston Road so that all properties from Kingston Road between Fairport Road and the CN right-of- way northerly will be in Ward 2. Attached is a map showing the ward boundary change. Also attached is a by-law to implement these minor alterations to the ward boundaries. Section 222 of the Municipal Act, 2001, sets out the following procedures that must be followed to implement ward boundary changes: · Section 222(2) states that before passing a by-law to implement alterations to ward boundaries, the municipality shall give notice of its intention to pass the by- law and hold at least one public meeting to consider the matter. If these ward boundary changes are accepted at the Executive Committee Meeting of May 23rd, 2005, I have recommended that the by-law be referred to the Council Meeting of June 20th, 2005 in order to give notice of the passing of the by-law. · Within 15 days of passing the by-law, notice shall be given to the public of the passing of the by-law and allowing 45 days to appeal the by-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. CORP0227-07/01 Report CS 41-05 Ward Boundary Changes May 13,2005 Page 3 These ward boundary alterations will come into effect for the 2006 general municipal election only if the by-law is passed before January 1, 2006 or if it has been appealed, the Ontario Municipal Board has issued an order respecting the ward boundary changes before January 1, 2006.
