Council Meeting Minutes
Tuesday, May 19, 2015
7:00 PM - Council Chambers
on April 13th. He noted that at that meeting 15 Claremont residents had put their names
to a report that supported the developer's proposal to build no fewer than 70 homes in
Claremont. He also noted that at that same meeting, other Claremont residents had
indicated they had not agreed to have this group represent them and that many residents
were unaware of the proposal as well as the report. Mr. Kern also noted that over 200
residents had gone on to sign petition letters to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and
Housing asking that the development application be rejected if submitted, stating that
residents had not been canvassed for their opinions, the report was flawed and the
recommendations had never undergone review and approval by either the CDCA or
Claremont residents. He also noted that this development would increase the Hamlet by
close to one third.
Mr. Kern also noted concerns with respect to any boundary change, which he stated
would contravene the intent of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, the Greenblet
Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement. He also noted that should one developer be
granted a change to the Moraine boundary, this could set a precedent for future
developers, noting the broader consequences should be carefully considered for any
Moraine boundary changes.
In closing Mr. Kern noted that the majority of Claremont residents are strongly in favour of
supporting the Hamlets' Moraine boundary. He stated that they wish to see the
protection strengthened and preserved to protect these valuable non-renewable
resources and asked that the City respect the requirements of the Moraine Conservation
Plan by ensuring that settlement areas are kept as small as possible to minimize land
consumption.
3. Peter Rodrigues
Report PLN 02-15
Peter Rodrigues appeared before Council to express his concerns with respect to the
Greenbelt lands. He noted this was not just a Pickering issue, covering a much broader
range which affects a large area, which was not well defined. He noted the need for
protection of the Greenbelt lands, to protect, enhance and expand it, specifically by the
inclusion of the headwaters of Carruthers Creek. He stated that by preserving this, it
Would also help to preserve water quality, wildlife habitat as well as prime agricultural
farmland.
Mr. Rodrigues provided an outline of the Region's main objectives, noting he had
attended and participated in various public meetings which addressed a number of
issues. He respectfully requested Council to bring forward some action to the Province in
order to better protect this valuable farmland.
