BACKGROUND: '
The subject property is located in the Brock Industtial Area within an erea designated 'General
Employment Ama' by the Pickering Official Plen. Warehousing, storage of goods ond muterials,
waste transCer and recycling, wastc proccssing, and freight transfer are permitted uses in a
"Genernl Employment Ama". The proposed use confortns wilh lhe policies of the Pickering
Official Plan. The property is wned "M2S" - Yard Storegc and Heavy Manufncturing Zonc by
Zoning By-law 2511. This zoning pertnits manufacturing or industrinl uses as well as
�vnrchouses, distribution depols, and light mnnufacturing plants for tSc processing of goods and
materials. The existing/proposed use and building ndditions are pertnitted by thc Town's zoning
by-laws.
Miller currently operntes u wastc transfcr faciliry at this location under u Certificntc of Approvnl
issued by the Ministry of ihe Environment. Miller representntivcs have udviscd thut they intend
ro submit en apQlication in )uly, 1998, to amend their curmnt Ccrtificnle of ApprovaL It is our
undcrslanding that Millcr will h; rcqucsting Ministry npprovnl of an incrensc in the volwne of
waste thet can be nccepted at this site and permission to handlc houschold hn�nrdous wastes.

The applicant hns indicated that the works proposcd Uvough Site Plnn Application S 8/98
ara neccssary for the improvcd functioning of their curzent operation within thc wnste limits
of the currcnt Ccrtificntc of Approval. However, Millcr acknowledgcs that some of the
proposed Phase 1 additions will ussist in the proposed fuwre nccommodation of incrensed
waste volumes. Phase 1 rclntes lo the south portion of the property nnd includes thc
conswction of n ncw Gcc-standing vchicle mnintcnnncc building and approximately
4185 square metrcs of ndditians to the cxisting woste rccycling/tmnsfcr facility, Phasc 2
relntes to the north portion oF the subject property and consisls of Ihe consWction of n new
5860•squnte metrcs compost facility and ouldoor stomge/woodchip nrcn. A furlhcr detailed
description for each azen in Phazc 1, as identified on Attnchmcnt N2, is provided below.
The Site Plen Commitlec endorsed Areus 'A' and 'D', but requested lhul Amns 'C - F'
inclusive be refeRed to Council for direction to stafl; es they mny facilitete an increase in
waste hnndling capacity.
Areu'A' is for the conswction ofa new 1025-square metres vchicle maintenancc building.
This building is to be utiliud for lhe service and repair of the trucks used in the collection
of recycled materials. Accorc!sng to Miller, this new building will consolidate thcir
operation to a single facility.
Area `B' will accommodate the additional stnff and truck drivers generated by the
consolidetion of Miller's tcucking operation to 1220 Squircs Beach Road. This aren will
include oftice space end shower facilities for the additional employees.
Area'C' currcntly consists of one loading door with a portuble exterior ramp that is used
for the shipping of baled recycleble matcrials. According to MiUer, this currcnt condition
results in significant delays in shipping the bundled mnterials nnd does not provide
satistactory refuse control. The applicant proposes to crcute a rypical recessed loading ama
that will enable the 'sealed' handling of ineterials, The existing single loading door is
proposed to be aplit into two loading daks end a third loading door addcd, Thc roof along
1he ful) extenl of the north side of th� building is proposcd to be raiscd In hcight 10
potrntially meet but not exceed thc highest point of thc existing bullding, These niterations
are intended to facilitate e new intcmel layout that will rcsult in a more efTicient operntion
for the ahlpping of soAed matedala end to cnsurc Ihut the wastca arc contnined enHrcly
- within the building, redudng the potenUnl for outs(de Ilticr.

Area'D' wnstitutes a 1907-squarc meUcs addition to the existing building for thc storage
of sorted and baled materials. This uddition is specifically intended for thc storege and
processing of rccyclables, and would oventually be merged with the alterations proposed in
nreq'C'.
Area'E' is currently utilized for thc collection and transfcr of municipnl household westes.
The existing transfer erea is in poor condition and is utilized by both Ihc public and
commcrciel carriers delivcring municipal waste. The area is not fully enclosed, resulting in
ihe rclease of odaurs and litter, The proposal 1'or azea 'E' will essisl in segregating the
public from the commercial camers, will provide a safer condition, and improved odour
and littet control.
Area'F' proposes to introduce u dcsignated urea far residents to drop off generul wnste and
will also include a specific area for receiving end hendling of household hnwrdous wastes
(this latter use recently endorsed by Pickering Council but requires amendment to existing
CeAificate of Approval before it cnn become operational). Thc public drop off arca will
include bins where materials cnn be dispased nnd sorted. This will provide a snfe drop-off
nren that the general public cnn utilize withoul con0icting wilh wck trnfiic.
The Site Plan Advisary Committce advised Smil' thnt any rccommcndutions respecting
elements of thc site plan submission that moy suppott n fulure incrcase in waste hundling
capacity through a rcvised Cenificnte of Approvnl applicution should be made by Town
Council. Miller contends that any fuwrc npplication to revise the cuncnt Certificatc of
Approval and incrcase wastc processing volumes should be reviewed on its own merits,
independent uf thc site pinn approvul nnd building pertnit proccsscs. Thcy requcst that the
Town procecd with thc site plan revicw of the entirc Phase 1 package, rcsulting in thc
issuance of building permils for thc addilions/altcrations. The proposed
expnnsions/udditions conform with thc currcnt wning, and Millcr has expresscd their
willingness to work with the Town to provide appropriatc lundscnping, scrcening, and
but�ering. The sitdpinnt opemtions undcr the current Certificate of Approval would benefit
by the proposed building alterations/expansion.
This report has been prcpnred to seek Council's dircction rcspccting the review of lhe
remaining components of the site pinn applicntion. Spccificnlly, dircction is sought as to
which of compoi�ents 'C to F' inclusive, Council wishes to proceed through lhe Sitc Plan
Approvel Process, resulting in t�c issuancc of building permits.
