PICKERING COMMITTEE
Report Number: PD 35-09
Date: December 7, 2009
From: Neil Carroll
Director, Planning & Development
Subject: Proposed Street Name Change
Deerhaven Lane to Summerpark Crescent
File: L4540-002
Recommendation:
1. That Report PD 35-09 of the Director, Planning & Development regarding the
proposed street name change of Deerhaven Lane to Summerpark Crescent be
received;
2. That Council authorize staff to take the steps necessary to effect changing the
name of Deerhaven Lane to Summerpark Crescent;
3. That Council authorize staff to send correspondence to all landowners residing
west of Rosebank Road (Woodsmere Crescent, Wildflower Drive, Summerpark
Crescent and Garland Crescent) advising of the City's intent to change the street
named Deerhaven Lane to Summerpark Crescent; and
4. That Council authorize staff to bring forward the by-law required to effect the name
change for enactment and registration.
Executive Summary: Deerhaven Lane is located in the Amberlea neighbourhood
between Rosebank Road and Wildflower Drive. No properties front Deerhaven Lane
and no addresses are assigned to it.
A letter was received from a resident indicating that residents of Summerpark Crescent
are experiencing difficulty when giving directions to their homes due to the existence of
Deerhaven Lane being an intervening street rather than Summerpark Crescent
extending east to Rosebank Road. The resident also expressed concern that
emergency vehicle response times may be compromised in case of an emergency.
Correspondence was sent to Fire Services, Durham Regional Police, Ambulance and
911 seeking input with respect to changing the street named Deerhaven Lane to
Summerpark Crescent. The requested name change is supported by all emergency
responders.

Deerhaven Lane to Summerpark Crescent
As changing the name of Deerhaven Lane to Summerpark Crescent would appear to
benefit residents in the neighbourhood and eliminate potential confusion for emergency
responders, staff supports the street name change.
Financial Implications:
Postage costs to area residents (Account 2199-2121) $200.00
Registration of street name change by-law (Account 1416) $100.00
Signage replacement (Account 2320-2409) $500.00
(Approximately)
Sustainability Implications: Renaming this portion of the City's road network will
eliminate confusion for the traveling public and emergency services, addressing the
social component of sustainability.
Background: Deerhaven Lane is a connector road that was constructed as part
of Plan of Subdivision 40M-1875 in 1997 and is located between Rosebank Road and
Wildflower Drive in the Amberlea neighbourhood. It has no properties fronting it and no
addresses assigned to it.
A letter was received from Jim Wilson, a resident at 526 Summerpark Crescent
indicating that residents of Summerpark Crescent are experiencing difficulty when
giving directions to their homes due to the existence of Deerhaven Lane being an
intervening street rather than Summerpark Crescent extending east to Rosebank Road.
The resident also expressed concern that emergency vehicle response times may be
compromised in case of an emergency. Accordingly, Jim Wilson is requesting that the
City change the name of Deerhaven Lane to Summerpark Crescent.
Correspondence was sent to Fire Services, Durham Regional Police, Ambulance and
911 seeking input with respect to changing the name of Deerhaven Lane to
Summerpark Crescent and responses indicate that all emergency responders are in
support of the change.
As no properties front Deerhaven Lane and as changing the name of Deerhaven Lane
to Summerpark Crescent would provide a benefit to the residents in the neighbourhood
when giving directions to their residences, be it to friends, delivery people or emergency
responders, staff supports changing the street name of Deerhaven Lane to
Summerpark Crescent and is seeking authorization from Council to initiate the street
name change process.

Deerhaven Lane to Summerpark Crescent
Part of the standard street name change process includes sending letters to all
residents fronting the street that is being renamed. In this case, no properties actually
front Deerhaven Lane, however as a courtesy, staff recommends that letters be sent to
each landowner residing west of Rosebank Road in this area (Woodsmere Crescent,
Wildflower Drive, Summerpark Crescent and Garland Crescent - 355 homes) advising
of the City's intent to change the street name. The letter will also indicate the date on
which the matter will be considered by Council and advise of their opportunity to
address Council respecting the name change should they wish.
Notice of the street name change to the remainder of the community will be done via the
Community Page in the News Advertiser and on the City's website for two consecutive
weeks prior to bringing the by-law forward to Council for enactment.
`Deerhaven' will remain reserved at the Region of Durham for use by the City as an
available street name that could be used again in another development.
