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!.

Regional staff intend to report to Regional Council on Apri127, 2006; however to meet the deadline date for comment submíssion (M~ch 3, 2006) we are submitting this letter and respectfully requesting an extension of the consultation period in order to provide you with Regional Council's comments. Would you please delay the approval of the Central Pickering Development Plan until our Council provides its view on the proposed plan and the issues identified in this letter have been addressed to the satisfaction of York Region. This letter provides~ · A description of the changes to the Development Plan that occurred from the time Regional Council provided its comments in April 2005. · The recommendations of York Region that have not been sufficiently addressed by the proposed modifications and the impact this will have on York Region. · Further suggested modifications that would begin to address York Region's recommendations and issues. 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 The Regitmal Munidpølity of YD"k, 17250 Y"lIge St,.œt, NeIIm14rÎ:et, Ontario L3 Y 6Z 1 Tel: 905-895-1231, 1-B77-464-YORK.

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; March 2. 2006 021 3 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." 022 March 2. 2006 4 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.

Acknowledgement of the importance of the Markham BypassIMomingside Avenue 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.

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".

Wilma Flavell, 734 Sheppard Avenue East, appeared before the Committee expressing her concern with respect to the parking problems that would ensue with this application and felt there were too many townhouses, She advised that there would be an increase in traffic and this was a concern to residents.

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. Q 5 ~eport PD 20-06 Subject: Glenda Winterstein (A 6/01) Date: March 6, 2006 Page 3 2.0 Analvsis 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. Attachments: 1 . Location Map 2. Applicant's Submitted Plans 3. Copy of Zoning By-law 6525/05 4.
