Dan McDermott appeared before Council on behalf of Sierra Club Ontario to urge
Council to support the notice of motion requesting the Region of Durham to abandon
their appeal regarding ROPA 128 and the urban expansion into north east Pickering.
He noted that the north east Pickering is the headwaters of the Carruthers Creek
watershed and the headwaters are the deciding factor with respect to clean water and
flood control. He made reference to the Sierra Clubs report entitled "Floods or Food"
which outlines the detrimental effects of runoff, one of them being the urban runoff
which carries bacteria into Lake. Ontario causing pollution of the waterfront. He noted
this report also outlines the benefits to keeping north east Pickering rural. Mr.
McDermott noted his concerns with respect to flooding and stated that Ajax, Pickering,
Oshawa and Uxbridge are all at a high risk of flooding and also noted the resulting
expenses from property damage and health- issues flooding would cause. Mr.
McDermott stated that instead of paving over north east Pickering why not redevelop
an existing parking lot, abandoned mall or already developed urbanized land.
A question and answer period ensued.

Steve LaForest of the Pickering Naturalists appeared before Council in support of the
motion. He indicated that the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in their
decision regarding ROPA 128, omitted natural heritage features for a reason. He

significant impact this would have on wildlife and the natural heritage, noting the two
conservation areas in the vicinity which would also be compromised.
A question and answer period ensued.

Maurice Brenner appeared before Council noting the importance of this motion and the
effects it would have on Pickering today and for future generations. He noted key
issues being environmental impacts, farmlands and the future of agriculture, wildlife

costs associated with infrastructure. He encouraged Council to vote in favour of the
motion.
A question and answer period ensued.
Chris Whillans appeared before Council in support of the motion. He, noted growth
does not pay for itself and expressed his concern with the waste of tax dollars with
respect to the appeal. He also noted that development charges are not high enough
to cover costs.
A brief question and answer period ensued.
Sue Mclnerey appeared before Council in support of the motion. She noted that she
drives through north Pickering regularly and it is a special place with scenic views.
She pointed out that the signage which states "welcome to Greenbelt" speaks to
preserving lands in Pickering. She stated that if this development is permitted, there
will not be much left in north Pickering and the farmlands will be gone forever. She
questioned what research had been done and made reference to the Places to Grow
Plan. She noted that the residents in north Pickering are opposed to development in
Greenwood and questioned whether this would be another Brooklin. She stated this
does not serve the community well and requested Council not support the Region's

statistics and urban strategies. She stated there are numerous reasons to oppose
growth such as environmental, economic and social costs as well as depleted water
quality. She questioned why the push for development, noting that current growth
forecasts show that growth would be slower than anticipated and noted the growth
predictions used in ROPA 128 were overestimated. She requested that Council be
fiscally responsible by supporting the motion.
James Grundy, 3555 Greenwood Road appeared before Council noting his deep
concerns with the Region's pursuit of the appeal and stated he supported the motion.
He indicated his reasons for choosing to live in Pickering being the greenspace,
agriculture and sense of community and stated that communities that grow too fast
inevitably struggle.
Anne Ray appeared before Council, stating she has resided in Pickering for almost 35
years. She requested Council listen to the citizens and reconsider its position and
vote against the appeal, noting this is about quality of life, not development.
Maureen Attersley appeared on behalf of Betty Hutton stating that land is not a
limitless resource. and the conversion of farmland is an environmental concern. Along
with increased population, there will be more waste, more pollution and service issues.
She stated this would have a disastrous impact on Claremont residents and noted the
lack of infrastructure would greatly impact the quality of life. She also stated the Oak
Ridges Moraine is becoming more sensitive. Council needs to recognize the limits of
growth and take a responsible position.
Lynn Osborne appeared before Council, stated she has been a resident of Greenwood
for 4 years and asked Council to vote no to urban sprawl.
Leslie Fisher, 2250 Highway 7, Greenwood appeared before Council in opposition to
the motion and stated that there should be an economic plan for the northern part of
Pickering. He discussed the history of family owned farms in the area and noted that
they were in support of future urban development. He noted that many of the farmers
had an opportunity to sell or subdivide their lands but chose not to and noted that
farming is more of a lifestyle than a business. He noted how farming has become
more difficult, stating development is already in the area with existing traffic issues and
noted the lack of availability to purchase farm machinery. He stated there is a process
in place which should continue. With respect to the headwaters, he stated that
farmers are good custodians of the land and also noted that the conservation
authorities are not governed by OMB rulings. He encouraged Council not to approve
the motion and let the Province and the Region work it out.

east Pickering in opposition to the motion, stating it is ill founded and should be

defeated as it is contrary to the conclusions of the Region's Planning Department
which was done in consultation with qualified urban planners and consultants. He
noted that the development on the north east Pickering lands would have no
significantly different environmental impact than the hundreds of acres of urban
development which has taken place in recent years on similar agricultural lands across
the Region. He also made note of the extensive environmental studies various
Ministries have already conducted in the area with respect to the widening of Highway
7 and construction of the 407, again stating that this development would have no
greater environmental impact than these two major highways.
A question and answer period ensued with respect to the viability of farming in north
Pickering.

Council in support of the motion and indicated she was opposed to urban sprawl. She

to fight this and urged Council to support the motion before them.

appeared and informed Council Mr. MacKinnon was not here and he would be

development does not pay for itself and stated the Region already has plenty of
employment land. Mr. Buckles also questioned the timing of pursuing this now, what
would be lost by waiting another 5 to 10 years. The process has been followed,
accept that and realize that this is a disagreement between the Province and the

with the appeal.

Region. He requested the review process take into consideration the impacts to local
agricultural lands, locally grown foods and that the Province maintain limitations to
development in the Seaton area. He also noted the lands should be protected well
beyond 2031, indicating there needs to be additional programs and incentives to
support the economic viability of family farms and to encourage agriculture initiatives.
