Motions and Notice of Motions 11.1 Motion to Enact a Right of Entry By-law Upon Adjoining Land for the purpose of making repairs for alterations to the building fences or other structures Moved by Councillor McLean Seconded by Councillor Cumming Whereas many homes in Pickering have easements attached to the deed; And Whereas, an easement is a legal right benefitting property or a piece of land (known as a dominant land) that is enjoyed over another piece of land owned by someone else (servient land). A common example of the easement is one that allows the owner of the dominant land to do something on the servient land; And Whereas, often home owners have to gain access to their property by entering upon adjoining land for the purpose of making repairs, alterations or improvements; And Whereas, if a neighbour refuses access for these repairs, alterations or improvements, the only recourse is a civil action through the court system; And Whereas, By-laws may be passed by Councils of local municipalities pursuant to the Municipal Act, for permitting an owner or occupant of any building, fence or other structure, or the agent or employee of such owner or occupant to enter upon any adjoining land for the purpose of making repairs, alterations or improvements to such building fence or other structure, but only to the extent necessary to affect such repairs, alterations or improvements, and that every such By-law shall provide that the adjoining land be left in the same condition as it was prior to such entry; And Whereas, many municipalities in Ontario including Toronto, Ottawa and Windsor have right of entry By-laws that require the submission of a comprehensive permit application and application fee before one is allowed to access his or her neighbour's property; For information related to accessibility requirements please contact: Committee Coordinator 905.420.4611 clerks@pickering.ca Cty oh DICKERING Council Meeting Agenda June 29, 2020 Electronic Meeting 7:00 pm Further, each By-law imposes a penalty for damage caused to the neighbouring property; And Whereas, these applications are only required if a resolution between the property owners cannot be reached amicably; And Whereas, if this By-law is contravened and a conviction is entered, the Superior Court of Justice or any court of competent jurisdiction may, in addition to any penalty imposed on the person convicted, issue an order prohibiting the continuance or repetition of the offence by the person convicted; Now therefore be it resolved: That Council direct the City Solicitor to draft a by-law similar to Toronto, Ottawa and Windsor and report back to this Council with a draft for the July 27, 2020 Council meeting to be adopted, and to commence any notifications that may be required. 11.2 A City of Pickering Local Food Strategy Moved by Councillor Brenner Seconded by Councillor Pickles Whereas Ontario's local food industry is a major contributor to Ontario's economy; And Whereas, the Local Food Act 2013 was created to help foster successful and resilient local food economies and systems in Ontario; And Whereas, growing, buying and supporting local food creates economic growth in communities across Ontario; And Whereas, supporting increased access to local food, improves food literacy in respect of local food, and encourages less dependency on the escalating costs of importing produce of less quality; And Whereas, within the rural communities of the City of Pickering, there is an opportunity to better utilize those lands that are under used and/or sit dormant that have class soil conditions and with the right resources, For information related to accessibility requirements please contact: Committee Coordinator 905.420.4611 clerks@pickering.ca Cty oh DICKERING Council Meeting Agenda June 29, 2020 Electronic Meeting 7:00 pm support and encouragement, can achieve the Provincial objectives set out in the Local Food Act 2013;

Statutory Public Meetings Cle DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean Councillor McLean, Chair, gave an outline of the requirements for a Statutory Public Meeting under the Planning Act. He outlined the notification process procedures and also noted that if a person or public body does not make oral or written submissions to the City before the By-law is passed, that person or public body are not entitled to appeal the decision of City Council to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT), and may not be entitled to be added as a party to the hearing unless, in the opinion of LPAT, there are reasonable grounds to do so. Catherine Rose, Chief Planner, appeared before the Committee to act as facilitator for the Statutory Public Meeting portion of the meeting, explaining the process for discussion purposes as well as the order of speakers. 3.1 Information Report No. 05-20 Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 04/19 R. Taghipour Lot 5, Plan 316 (1964 Royal Road) A statutory public meeting was held under the Planning Act, for the purpose of informing the public with respect to the above -noted application. Tanjot Bal, Planner II, provided the Committee with an overview of the Zoning By- law Amendment Application A 04/19. Through the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, Ms. Bal outlined the applicant's proposal, noting that the applicant is proposing to rezone the subject lands to a site specific zone category to permit a three-storey mixed-use building and provided an overview of public, agency, and Department comments received to date. Catherine Rose, Chief Planner, noted that the City Development Department had received written comments from William and Elaine Holman, and a petition from residents opposing this application. Both items were circulated to Members of the Committee prior to the meeting. Fadia Pahlawan, ArchiFad Architecture & Interior Design Inc., joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, representing the applicant. Ms. Pahlawan noted that Alexander Fleming, C.F. Crozier & Associates, and Elmira Zarrabi, EzedArchitects, were also present via audio connection to answer questions if required. Ms. Pahlawan provided a brief overview of the application, noting that the proposed three-storey mixed-use building would be accessible, rental units would accommodate two generation families, and the development would provide affordable rental options for Pickering. She stated that the design is consistent with the surrounding land uses, and that this project conforms with the Official Plan and meets the requirements of the City's Affordable Housing Strategy. 2 -29- Cle DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean Robert A. Martindale, Martindale Planning Services, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, representing the applicant. Mr. Martindale noted that the lands are designated as urban living area, the application is consistent with these uses, and that the Region of Durham had advised that this proposal conforms to the Official Plan. He noted that the area surrounding Royal Road has experienced a high degree of development and change over the years, and that this is an evolving community and many low density homes are being replaced by commercial uses or high density homes. He further noted that Royal Road is located near the busy Kingston Road commercial corridor. Mr. Martindale commented that the City is planning to enact a number of policies and guidelines that would encourage new development and maintain and enhance the original community, and that as this proposal was originally submitted in 2017, it should not be subject to policies that have not been yet finalized. He concluded that the applicant recognizes that details will need to be addressed through the site plan process. William Holman, 1966 Royal Road, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection. Mr. Holman stated he has lived in the area since 1966, and noted that he has seen many changes over the years including new housing, subdivisions, and plazas. He noted concerns with the application in that the large building will be situated 4 feet from the property line, and the height of the building will negatively affect his home. He expressed further concerns regarding an increase in parking needs, and questioned whether there were provisions for catch basins on the property noting the amount of concrete and asphalt as it pertains to rainfall water runoff. Mr. Holman noted that the application to change from residential uses is unnecessary in this area as there are many empty commercial plazas nearby. John Roberts, 1995 Royal Road, Unit 203, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, representing Durham Condominium Corporation (DCC). He noted that he has been approached by many residents in the Condominium that are unhappy with this application, noting concerns with increased traffic, lack of parking, and negative impacts on real estate values. Mr. Roberts stated that the DCC works diligently to enhance property values, and that they understand that the street is changing, but that having a mixed use plaza will be detrimental for the residents. Alan Jeffs, 1995 Royal Road, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection. Mr. Jeffs noted that he had submitted a petition on behalf of 65 local residents opposing this application, and that the petition included the signatures of the owners of the three properties that abut the proposed development. He expressed concerns relating to the application being precedent setting to the neighbourhood, as it is not compatible. He stated that the application lacks compliance with the 3 -30- Cle DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean Official Plan and that it does not conform with zoning requirements. Mr. Jeffs noted additional concerns including the negative impact on property values, a preposterous driveway and onsite parking design, which proposes to use a convex mirror across a two lane driveway, and that on street parking should not serve as a main parking option for this development. He further noted that the proposed development will exacerbate traffic and safety issues that are already present in this area, particularly on Kingston Road and requested that Members of the Committee examine all facets of this precedent setting proposal for Royal Road and refuse the application. Steve Gilchrist, 1995 Royal Road, Unit 155, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection. Mr. Gilchrist expressed concerns regarding the applicant's comment that the application is precedent setting, and that the proposed rezoning is at odds with best practices and existing By-laws and Official Plans that are currently in place. He noted that the limited commercial uses for the property are exclusively related to farm or agricultural uses, and intended for rural areas, which Royal Road is not. He further noted that new homes that had recently been built on Royal Road, had been built to conform with the area and existing By-laws. Mr. Gilchrist continued, expressing concerns relating to traffic and safety issues, parking, the proposed height of the building being inconsistent with other properties on the street, and the connection with Kingston Road, which is the busiest road in the City of Pickering. Additional concerns included signage, with Mr. Gilchrist noting that any commercial signage would exacerbate the current quiet, residential nature of this street and would reduce property values for surrounding homeowners. He further noted that across the street from the proposed development is a commercial property that has had empty storefronts for months with ample parking and that there were several other commercial properties in similar situations in the area negating the need for this development. Devan Shan, 1968 Royal Road, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection to express his concerns with the application. Mr. Shan noted that the area is already dealing with numerous issues from the commercial properties in the area, including drinking, littering and vandalism. He expressed concern that if there are more commercial plazas, that this area would become overcrowded and that there would be more issues with speeding and drivers doing U-turns on his street and driveway. There were no further delegations from the public. A question and answer period ensued between Members of Committee, City Staff, Fadia Pahlawan, and Alexander Fleming regarding: • the particulars of the proposed commercial signage on the property; 4 - 31 - Cle DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean • the location and process for garbage storage and pick up; • parking, and whether parking would occur in the rear of the building or on the street; and, • whether the applicant had conceptual images of the proposed development in relation to the current residential neighbourhood as it pertains to community character. Catherine Rose, Chief Planner, responded to questions from Members of Committee regarding whether the application should be bound by the current Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhoods Study as this application was received prior to the implementation of this policy. Ms. Rose noted that although the application will not be bound by the current policy, there are existing policies in the City's Official Plan that require consistent developments in this distinct area and these would be addressed when the recommendation report is brought back to the Committee. 3.2 Information Report No. 06-20 Official Plan Amendment OPA 19-004/P Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 14/19 Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP -2019-04 Draft Plan of Condominium Application CP -2019-05 Katanna Oklahoma LP Part of Lot 28, Broken Front Concession Range 3, Now Part of Part 1, 40R-2401 (755 Oklahoma Drive) A statutory public meeting was held under the Planning Act, for the purpose of informing the public with respect to the above -noted application. Cody Morrison, Planner II, appeared before the Committee to provide an overview of Official Plan Amendment OPA 19-004/P, Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 14/19, Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP -2019-04, and Draft Plan of Condominium Application CP -2019-05. Through the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Morrison outlined the applicant's proposal and property area, noting that the lands are currently occupied by a place of worship and a daycare, which will be demolished. He noted that the residential block will include 27 townhouse units, 3 stories in height, and that an amendment to the City's Official Plan would be required to facilitate the proposal as the current designation only provides for up to 30 units per net hectare and this application proposes 50 units per net hectare. Mr. Morrison noted that in January 2020, an open house was held and 30 residents attended and provided comments. Bryce Jordan, GHD, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, representing the applicant. Mr. Jordan noted that he would address the three main 5 -32- Cle DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean issues that are typically present with infill applications, being traffic concerns, height of proposed buildings, and onsite parking. Mr. Jordan noted that the site is not currently vacant, and that there is traffic generated by these businesses which is comparable to the amount of traffic that would be generated by the proposal. He addressed the concerns of the height of the proposed buildings by referencing cross section drawings that had been provided to Members of Committee and City Development prior to the meeting, demonstrating that the profile is compatible to existing developments in the area. Mr. Jordan further noted that the parking proposal is for 2 spaces per unit, and 1 visitor space for every 4 units, which is in line with City standards for on-site parking. Lew Emanuel, a Pickering resident, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection. Mr. Emanuel expressed concerns regarding traffic, noting that the current businesses at this location typically only generate traffic on weekends and in the morning, not during rush hour. In addition, he noted that when church was in session, the parking lot was overwhelmed and cars had to park on the street, which demonstrates that there is already insufficient parking in the area. Mr. Emanuel noted that he is not opposed to development but is concerned about the number of homes being proposed. Paul White, 507 Crestview Road, withdrew his delegation prior to the meeting and did not appear before the Committee. Andy Barron, 759 Eyer Drive, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection. Mr. Barron noted that he shared the previous delegations concerns and noted additional concerns regarding the applicants request to double the density, noting that this would increase traffic and parking issues in the area. Mr. Barron expressed further concerns with where the parkette would be located on the site and suggested that it be enclosed by a fence. There were no further delegations from the public. Members of Committee requested that the applicant provide information to City Staff on how much traffic was generated by the previous property owners, and the townhomes to the east of the subject property, on Oklahoma Drive, for traffic comparison purposes. 3.3 Information Report No. 07-20 Official Plan Amendment OPA 19-005/P Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 15/19 Alireza Adjedani Lots 25 and 25, Plan 492 (1854 and 1858 Liverpool Road) 6 -33- Cle DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean A statutory public meeting was held under the Planning Act, for the purpose of informing the public with respect to the above -noted application. Elizabeth Martelluzzi, Planner II, Heritage, appeared before the Committee to provide an overview of Official Plan Amendment OPA 19-005/P and Zoning By- law Amendment Application A 15/19. Through the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, Ms. Martelluzzi provided an overview of the applicant's proposal and an overview of the subject lands and surrounding land uses. Ms. Martelluzzi noted that the applicant has requested that the property at 1858 Liverpool Road be included in the City Centre designation. She outlined the site-specific amendments that are being requested, and provided an overview of public, agency, and Department comments received to date. Grant Morris, Grant Morris Associates Ltd., joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, representing the applicant. Mr. Morris noted that Emilio DeLeon Joseph Doran, Trans -Plan, were also present via audio connection to answer questions if required. Mr. Morris noted that this application is a good choice for the City of Pickering as the GTA must now accommodate new growth through redevelopment and increased density in urban and rural areas while making good use of existing infrastructure noting the forecasted population increases over the next number of years. He highlighted the location of Liverpool Road, being within the City Centre, which was fast becoming a vibrant commercial and residential area. Mr. Morris noted the Durham Region had mandated a coordinated traffic light at Liverpool and Finch which would be on his client's property which would require changes to the Liverpool proposal and traffic studies. He continued by stating that the development is seeking to build 98-116 units, some of which would be in the affordable range, with commercial space on ground floor, highlighting the economic benefits to the City and the Region. Mr. Morris further noted that the applicant would be donating $500,000 as a community contribution towards the proposed Pickering Arts Centre. Melanie Hare, Urban Strategies, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, on behalf of Altona Group, owner of 1294 Kingston Road and 1848- 1852 Liverpool Road. Ms. Hare noted that the Altona Group had submitted a rezoning application in 2019 and have considered the input received and will be re -submitting the refined application shortly. She stated that the Altona Group application is supportive of Provincial, Regional and Official Plan policies that support increased densities, intensification, and is an appropriate area for growth in the City Centre and also aligns with transit and other infrastructure investments. Ms. Hare noted that the Altona Group Development Team have been working with City and Regional Staff, as part of the comprehensive planning of the Liverpool Corridor. Ms. Hare asked the Committee to consider coordinating access to 7 -34- Cle DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean Liverpool Road through a shared signalized intersection, aligning vehicular plans for shared site access across intersections, requirement of building setbacks to maintain building separation, integrating appropriate transition from the west to Glendale Drive, and ensuring that transportation improvements, infrastructure and servicing are coordinated to allow for cost sharing and implementation in a timely manner. There were no further delegations from the public. A brief question and answer period ensued regarding the community benefit donation proposed by the applicant, and whether the need for affordable housing had been discussed with the applicant. 3.4 Information Report No. 08-20 Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 03/20 Pickering Developments Inc. Durham Live North of Bayly Street, west of Church Street Part Lots 15 & 16, Concession 1 A statutory public meeting was held under the Planning Act, for the purpose of informing the public with respect to the above -noted application. Ross Pym, Principal Planner, Strategic Initiatives, appeared before the Committee to provide an overview of Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 03/20.

Mr. Pym provided an overview of agency and Department comments received to date and outlined next steps. Don Given, Malone Given Parsons, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, representing the applicant. Mr. Given stressed the urgency of expediting the approval process, noting that the applicant would like the movie studio to proceed and noted there were users ready to occupy that space. Mr. Given noted that there were numerous studies conducted on the property over several years to ensure the integrity of the wetlands were protected, and that conservation authorities had reviewed the work and indicated they have no objection to the proposal. Cle DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean David McKay, MHBC Planning, Urban Design & Landscape Architecture, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, representing GFL Environmental Inc. Mr. McKay noted that he had provided detailed comments to City Development and the Committee regarding their concerns with this application. He noted that his client, GFL, is very concerned with the compatibility of this application on their existing property, as this proposal extends the Major Tourist Destination zone closer to GFL's property, and that this will require detailed mitigation measures due to noise, vibration, dust, and odour. Mr. McKay stated that his client looks forward to working with the applicant to address these concerns. There were no further delegations from the public. 4.

City of Pickering One The Esplanade Pickering, ON L1V 6K7 HOUSE OF COMMONS CHAMBRE DES COMMUNES CANADA diennifer a Fennell Member of Parliament Pickering—Uxbridge Corr. 20-20 May 21, 2020 Dear Deputy Mayor Ashe and Members of Pickering Council, Thank you for copying me on your letter addressed to the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in regards to the Council resolution on May 15, 2020 regarding Orchard Villa and long-term care homes in the Province of Ontario. I want to thank you as Members of Council for unanimously passing this resolution and I share the concerns you've raised. I agree that all levels of government must continue to work together to ensure the safety of our communities and country. I'm grateful that a copy of your passed resolution was sent to Premier Doug Ford because as you know, the responsibility for long-term care homes falls solely under provincial jurisdiction through Minister Merrilee Fullerton and the Ministry of Long -Term Care. Despite the clear jurisdictional division, our Government has been working closely with our provincial and territorial counterparts to provide support in areas where federal assistance is required, with the collective goal of keeping Canadians safe. On May 19, 2020, the Ontario government announced they will establish a commission beginning in September, to review the long-term care system in the Province of Ontario. While this review is a step in the right direction, I strongly believe that a full public inquiry should be initiated, not just a government commission. I concur with the many family and friends of those who've passed away in long-term care homes during this crisis, as well as the workers in these homes, who want a full and independent public inquiry. At the time of writing this letter, we have seen 70 residents of Pickering at the Orchard Villa long-term care centre pass away due to Covid-19, the largest death rate at a single outbreak location. We need a full public inquiry to ensure a tragedy like this can never happen again and that all levels of government work together to ensure the protection of the most vulnerable members of our community. A commission, operating through the same government and department it will be tasked with reviewing would not provide the balanced and independent investigation that a formal public enquiry can. I will note that in Ontario, public inquiries had been initiated for the SARS pandemic (44 deaths), Elizabeth Wettlaufer (8 deaths), and Walkerton (6 deaths). In those cases, public inquiries provided important lessons to ensure governments could take proactive measures to prevent similar public health tragedies. To date, we have seen nearly 1,800 deaths in long-term care homes throughout Ontario. Those individuals and their families deserve answers and we as a society have to demand our seniors live with dignity at all stages of life.

This is a sentiment that I and many members of our community share and I hope Premier Ford and his government will reverse this decision and begin a public inquiry as quickly as possible. I would also like to bring to your attention that our federal Minister of Health, Hon. Patty Hajdu spoke about long-term care homes on May 12, 2020 during the Covid-19 Special Committee of Parliament and made the following statements in response to a question she was asked on this topic: "The member opposite knows that long-term care homes have rested largely in the jurisdiction of provincial governments and in fact municipal governments, which often run them and fund them partially as well. That's why it's important we have those conversations with our provincial and territorial partners, but the member can rest assured this is on the top of my priority list to engage with my colleagues all across the country, including many experts who have studied this issue multiple times to come up with stronger standards so all seniors have quality of life, safety and dignity in their elder years." Once again, I want to thank you as Members of Pickering Council for advocating for a review. I hope this letter clarifies my commitment to support a full public inquiry into long-term care homes in the Province of Ontario and our Government's commitment to working with all levels of government to keep Canadians safe and ensure our most vulnerable populations are given the protections they need to live a safe and dignified life. Yours Sincerely, Jennifer O'Connell MP, Pickering -Uxbridge -47- Page 2 of 2 Corr. 21-20 Ak Nil ,A,E,virrailiciisl Municipalities Ontario May 27, 2020 AMO COVID-19 Update — Emergency Orders Extended and Next Steps on Long -Term Care Emergency Orders Extended to June 9th The Ontario government is extending all emergency orders in force under s.7.0.2 (4) of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act during the COVID-19 outbreak. Current emergency orders include the closure of outdoor playgrounds, play structures and equipment, public swimming pools and outdoor water facilities, as well as bars and restaurants except for takeout and delivery. Additionally, there continues to be restrictions on social gatherings of more than five people, and staff redeployment rules remain in place for long-term care homes and congregate settings like retirement homes and women's shelters. Under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, emergency orders can only be extended for up to 14 days by the Lieutenant Governor in Council (Cabinet) or the Legislative Assembly, on the recommendation of the Premier may, by resolution, extend the period of an emergency for additional periods of no more than 28 days. Long -Term Care AMO is deeply concerned about the Canadian Armed Forces' findings on their observations while dispatched to assist in five long-term care homes in Ontario in the last month given challenges managing their COVID-19 outbreaks. The Armed Forces personnel, being in the homes 24 hours a day for a month, had an opportunity to observe the full range of care provided or not provided in a way that government inspectors and family members can't. While municipal long-term care homes were not among those implicated, there are important lessons for all operators as we prepare for the upcoming provincial commission on the long-term care home COVID-19 crisis. Premier Ford noted today that there will be an "independent commission" into elderly care and this could be carried out by the Attorney General, possibly the police, and will include public hearings. It is expected that AMO, and its Task Force on Health, will be involved in this process and at a minimum, make submissions. Ontario will be taking over the management of four of the five long-term care homes that were the subject of the Canadian Armed Forces report. The Premier also said today that the government will be conducting "extremely rigorous" inspections of those homes, as well as thirteen other homes facing COVID-19 challenges and will be doing random spot checks across the province. The municipal sector in Ontario is, and will continue to be, at the forefront of developing age -friendly communities and providing vital services to seniors. This includes long-term care, affordable housing, public health services and community support services, as well as general planning for age -friendly communities. AMO, and its members, have been advocating for better funding and coordination of all seniors' services, for well over a decade. Long-term care homes in Ontario are today serving increasingly complex patient groups with high acuity needs. They are providing 24-hour medical care and supervision in a secure and comfortable environment. Ontario's municipal order of government is an important player in the provision of long-term care services. As per the Long -Term Care Homes Act, upper and single -tier municipal governments in southern Ontario are responsible for establishing and maintaining long-term care facilities. However, in northern Ontario, municipal governments often jointly fund a home managed by a District Board Home Board of Management. The municipal sector operates over 100, or 16%, of the homes with 17,000 beds. About 1 in 5 beds is in a municipal home. As well, municipalities contribute significant funding over and above the provincial funding subsidy, about $350 million per year not including capital.

I wanted to draw your attention to Andrea Horwath's & MPP Burch's joint statement on financial support for municipalities during COVID-19. Federal support for municipal infrastructure is welcome, but still leaves many municipalities without the operating funding they desperately need. Andrea Horwath is calling on the Ontario government to fill that gap, ensuring municipalities have the emergency funding they need to run day cares, transit systems, public health units and water treatment facilities and so much more after the pandemic has wreaked havoc on municipal finances. I have attached a copy of the statement in this email. MPP Jeff Burch, the Official Opposition Critic for Municipal Affairs, has tabled a motion regarding the issue. The motion calls for the Government of Ontario to work with the federal government to address the systemic financial challenges facing municipalities that have been exacerbated by COVID-19, and to implement the recommendations brought forward by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario. Should you like to read the motion in full and review its status, you can find additional information _ Please do not hesitate to reach out should you have any feedback.

Horwath is calling on Premier Doug Ford to step up and fill that gap, ensuring municipalities have the emergency funding they need to run day cares, transit systems, public health units and water treatment facilities and so much more after the pandemic has wreaked havoc on municipal finances. "Families count on their local governments to provide essential services like child care, public transit and public health. All those services are now at risk as municipalities sink into the red, and Doug Ford needs to stop pretending that it's Ottawa's responsibility alone to throw them a lifeline," said Horwath. "Ford has not given them the support they desperately need to make it through the pandemic and to rebuild the local economies that have been left shattered by this crisis — but he can change that today by committing to fund the gap and keep services intact." The City of Toronto alone says it has a $1.5 billion shortfall as a result of COVID-19, which it warns will result in transit cuts, firefighting cuts, child care cuts, long-term care cuts and more, if the upper levels of government don't step in with emergency financial support. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities has estimated the hole in operating budgets across all cities at between $10 billion and $15 billion over the next six months. "The federal government's move to transfer infrastructure money a bit faster is a welcome first step — but it will barely scratch the surface of what's needed," said NDP Municipal Affairs critic Jeff Burch, who tabled a motion last week in the Ontario legislature that would give emergency financial support to municipalities that have been deeply impacted by COVID-19. "Cities and towns throughout the province are on the verge of devastating cuts if Ford does not step up and provide funding right away," said Burch. "And those cuts will stop the economic recovery Ontario needs. Not only are municipal jobs on the line, but the loss of services like child care and transit would hamper everyone's return to work — especially women, and there cannot be a recovery without a she- covery. "It's time for the provincial government to step up and create some relief and certainty for municipalities and families who count on them." -30- - 51 - Motion 98 Mr. Burch (Niagara Centre) That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should work with the federal government to address systemic financial challenges facing Ontario's municipalities that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 emergency by implementing both the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' recommendations for immediate financial assistance to help with the delivery of essential services during and after the pandemic, and the joint proposal from the Association of Municipalities Ontario and CUPE Ontario to help strengthen the delivery of municipal services on a long-term basis. - 52 - DICKERING Corr. 23-20 Memo To: Susan Cassel City Clerk From: Tanya Ryce Supervisor, Cultural Services Copy: Chief Administrative Officer Director, Community Services & Deputy CAO Cultural Plan Staff Committee Cultural Advisory Committee Members Subject: Cultural Advisory Committee - 2019 Report & 2020 Work Plan File: A-1410 June 4, 2020 The Cultural Advisory Committee is pleased to submit, for Council's information, the 2019 Committee Report and 2020 Work Plan as outlined below.

Many local businesses have closed, some permanently, and thousands of staff have been laid off. In early March, the Region's Economic Development and Tourism Team formed the Durham Economic Task Force (DETF) to provide support and guidance to the local business community. Members of the DETF include Area Municipal Economic Development, the Business Advisory Centre of Durham (BACD), the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), Durham Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade and Durham Business Improvement Areas (BIAS). To understand the needs of Durham's businesses, the DETF administered two surveys which highlighted concerns about decreased demand, financial implications and sector specific impacts. These first two surveys informed DETF's advocacy strategy and emergency response actions and have previously been shared with you. As planning has commenced for reopening of businesses and economic recovery, DETF launched a third survey to seek input regarding priorities for recovery programming. Through the survey, the business community has highlighted ongoing concerns that will need to be addressed for successful economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The top three barriers to recovery include a potential for a second wave of the disease, ongoing cash flow/financial implications and operating their business with physical distancing restrictions in place. In terms of recovery stimulus strategies, Durham businesses clearly identified expanding Regional high-speed internet access and support for local initiatives including integration of local food into downtown as key strategies to move forward. If you require this information in an accessible format, please contact accessibility@durham.ca at 1-800- 372-1102 ext. 2009. -57- 43 per cent of businesses estimate they will return to business -as -usual within 6 months. This number has dropped considerably since survey 2 where 69 per cent of businesses estimated a 6- month recovery period. Despite the ongoing efforts to provide business support, 27 per cent of businesses estimate that it will take more than 12 months to return to business -as -usual. DETF is using the survey information to inform the development of recovery efforts such as the Downtowns of Durham project and related buy local campaigns. The DETF is working on a comprehensive economic recovery plan with post -secondary institutions, Durham's innovation community and local businesses.

Departmental Revenues Analysis — May 31 2019 vs. 2020 Please find below a high level comparision of City revenues for the Year's 2019 and 2020, for the period of January 1St to May 31st. It should be noted that the comparison of the revenues is a "point -in -time" measurement and does not reflect the projected year end position.

With public municipal facilities being closed since mid-March in 2020, one would have expected that the 2019 year-to-date recreational revenues would be higher. The 2019 year- to-date revenues are based on the facilites being opened for 21 weeks in contrast to 11 weeks for 2020. When comparing the revenues over the two time periods, you have to consider that for certain revenue streams (such as recreation), their 2019 actuals exceeded their 2019 budget. As a result, you have to keep in mind that the 2019 revenues were above average when comparing to 2020. The development related revenues are trending higher in 2020 which can be attributable to two significant applications that the City received (Sobara Group and Brock Road Duffins Forest.) Another financial measure to consider and is probably more valid is comparing 2020 budget to actuals as presented below.

The revenue difference of $1.50 million is only one component of the financial equation to measure the City's financial position. The other part of the equation is to review and or measure expenditures. The City is only now starting to receive invoices related to the month of May and therefore, it is not possible to provide a May year to -date comparison of budget vs actuals for revenues and expenditures. However, it should be noted that the CAO's direction to delay hiring of Council approved 2020 new positions and hiring current vacant positions is generating cost savings to the City. In addition, the senior management team identified cost savings through reductions in conferences, consulting and education and training which should assist in offsetting revenue losses. It is also anticipated that there may be savings in general government expenditures.

These expenses excludes any retro- fit costs that the City will still incurr to make its facilities functional and safe to open under the "new normal". The remote work program are costs associated with providing computer resources such as software (Citrix $47,814), laptops and printers ($91,250) to allow employees to work from home. The safety/PPE costs are items such as the recent purchase of 50,000 masks ($62,500), gloves and hand santizer. It should be noted that although the cost is reflected in May, not all of the PPE has been consumed. In other words, there is an inventory of PPE still to be consumed. The cleaning costs includes extra cleaning products such as bleach and wipes and for the deep cleaning of the Civic Centre. Since March 13th, the City has ordered numerous signs for its parks and gardens to promote social distancing and to provide general information. Under the "Other category", these costs includes $23,000 for software to electronically review building permit applications. Through the weekly Emergency Management Meetings that are attended by Members of Council, the following grant requests were discussed and approved: St Paul's On -The Hill ($5,000); Canada Sews ($3,000) and Pickering Ajax Caremongers ($3,500).

We have been watching your daily announcements as we wait at home for updates on our loved ones who still reside in Orchard Villa Long -Term Care Home and Retirement Home, and grieve the loss of our family members who have passed. We mourned the information that was written on the military report, made public on Tuesday May 26, 2020. Our grieving isn't just for the facts contained in the report, but also for the knowledge that these facts have been communicated to you and your offices both by us and in the media for several weeks now. We grieve because our words were not enough and while our pleas for help fell on deaf ears more of our loved ones died. Our one consolation is that the military's voice echoed our own and that their voice was loud enough for you to hear. Today we write to you first to thank you for the nursing and military support that you have provided to Orchard Villa LTCH, we have seen a change in our family's basic care needs recently and we now are comforted to know that they are being fed and hydrated, however we are far from a full result of having regular updates on our loved ones, having COVID-19 tests being continued and from feeling that our families are safe. We want to know what plan is in place for beyond June 12, 2020 when the military and hospital support has left Orchard Villa. The military report clearly indicates that the current management cannot be left to their own devices. Mr. Ford, we are one month shy of the two-year anniversary of your swearing in as Premier of Ontario. As we look back to June 29, 2018 we hear you speak the words "I, Doug Ford, swear that I will duly and faithfully, and to the best of my skill and knowledge, execute the powers and trust reposed in me as Premier ...of the Province Of Ontario, so help me God." On that day we took you at your word and -78- trusted that not only would you lead the people of Ontario, but that you would serve them as well. Ms. Fullerton, we believe you echo Mr. Ford's position that the military report was shocking, however this only indicates that you have not been listening to our pleas. Today we are asking you to begin an independent public inquiry as soon as possible. You will find that we are united in our need for this type of inquiry, that we do not want an independent commission where information is controlled and stones can be left unturned. With this request we enclose a link to our petition signed by 5,700+ individuals who have added their voices to our own. How many voices will it take until we are finally heard? http://chng.it/RfPYgxJg We ask that you please refrain from sending us a generic reply as many of us have received in the past. We ask that you remove the wall that has been built between yourself, your staff and the people that you serve. A second e-mail will follow this with the contact information for two representatives of our group, and we trust that we will hear from you by no later than Wednesday June 3, 2020. We have been waiting, writing, speaking and mourning for eight weeks. We have been kept in the dark. We ask that you now respond to us directly and we thank you for your time. Respectfully, The Families of Orchard Villa bcc: National and local media outlets 79 - DORSAY (D 416 368.1460 Corr. 29-20 DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (] 130 Adelaide Street west. Su to 2200 June 17, 2020 Clerk's Office City of Pickering Pickering Civic Complex One The Esplanade Pickering, ON L1V 6K7 RE: Request to initiate a Ministerial Zoning Order For lands in Northeast Pickering— the Community of Veraine Kindly ensure that this letter is provided to the Mayor and all members of Council prior to the June 29, 2020 Council Meeting. Dear Mayor and Members of Council For the last six years, Dorsay (Pickering) Limited ('Dorsay') has been working collaboratively with the City of Pickering to cultivate a vision for a healthier more sustainable community in Northeast Pickering called Veraine. Dorsay has gone to great lengths to pursue and strengthen this vision which will allow both people and the environment to thrive. To this end, Dorsay has spent countless hours researching these issues, visiting exemplary precedent communities, meeting with sustainable energy providers, potential employment partners, smart technology innovators, Universities, Health Care Providers and numerous staff members from the Region of Durham and the City of Pickering. Our tenacity and commitment for creating a better environment and community for all has garnered tremendous support from City staff, the Region, and all members of Pickering City Council, for which we are grateful. The Motions passed by City Council on September 23, 2019 and November 25, 2019 exemplify your ongoing support for seeing this project take shape and come to fruition in a timely manner. However, the lengthy Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR) process and associated timeline creates development uncertainty and risks the realization of this project which has the opportunity to create jobs now and provide more housing. Dorsay, with Council's support, is requesting that the City ask that the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing implement a Ministerial Zoning Order (MZO), pursuant to s.47 of the Planning Act. As evidenced by recent MZO's, the Province has utilized this tool to help jump-start the economy, create more jobs, and provide more housing options. Municipal support through a Council Resolution is needed for Minister Clark to grant this request. In light of what is happening in the world today, now more than ever, it is imperative to design our communities to be resilient and with a mind to creating healthier places for people and our environment. We believe now is the time to accelerate the approval and construction of this community to showcase to the world how this can be achieved. 80 - D © 416.368.1460 ❑p 130 Adelaide Street West, Suite 2200 Why an MZO, why now? The MZO will enable immediate action creating employment opportunities in construction and professional jobs. It will remove uncertainty for development timelines and those associated with the scale of the project. It will provide for more homes and more choices faster. The Region of Durham is in the process of undertaking its MCR . This process when commenced in 2018 was projected to be completed by 2022. Due to changes in Provincial policy coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic, it will likely take much longer to complete. The MZO would speed up the development approvals process by at least 3-5 years, advance servicing construction by 7-10 years and advance housing supply by 7 years. Homes could be occupied as early as 2024 as opposed to 2031. The Salem 407 interchange would become a candidate for construction now, in 2020, and other servicing could also commence. This development will also support and be supported by the high-speed rail line and stop proposed within the Pickering Federal Airport Lands. To wait for the completion of the MCR would be a missed opportunity to create jobs quickly, cut red tape and support the Provinces More Homes, More Choice initiative. Major employment tenants need definitive development timelines when choosing location. With a MZO in place, Dorsay will be able to more actively pursue those major employers that have indicated an interest in locating in a community such as Veraine. For background and supporting information please refer to the attached. Conclusion Leveraging advancements in technology, architecture, healthy design and environmental planning, Veraine will be a built environment that benefits people and the planet. Exemplary planning and design principles, thoughtful placemaking and environmental stewardship ensure the project represents a direction in complete community design that will be regarded by cities all around the world. We aim to have Veraine be a place where people from all over the world come to connect. Thanks to a prime location in the GTA's innovation corridor and a focus on mixed housing types for all stages of life this is possible. To that end, over the past year Dorsay has been working together with the City of Pickering to help refine the guiding Community Development Principles, to understand hurdles and align synergies. We all believe in creating a community that puts total well-being for all at the center of a development, that breaks through traditional barriers and aims higher than Provincial, Regional and Municipal requirements. Because the best communities evolve with the people and companies who call them home, Dorsay will work with nearby residents and landowners, other development partners, and the community at large, to ensure Veraine can support the kind of living the Greater Toronto Area is best known for: egalitarian, entrepreneurial, environmental. Please accept this request to continue to move this exceptional community forward in a meaningful way. By requesting that the Province utilize the MZO tool for the Veraine lands, we are continuing the momentum to bring this joint vision into fruition. ED g 416.368.1460 ID 130 Adelaide Street West, Suite 2200 Do not hesitate to contact the undersigned to discuss any questions or concerns you may have. Kindest regards, Geoffrey Grayhurst, President and CEO Dorsay (Pickering) Limited. cc: Marisa Carpino, Acting CAO, City of Pickering Fiaz Jadoon, Manager, Economic Development & Strategic Projects, City of Pickering John Henry, Regional Chair, Region of Durham Catherine Rose, Chief Planner, City of Pickering Kyle Bentley, Director, City Development and Chief Building Official Katarzyna Sliwa, Dentons LLP Paul Lowes, SGL Planning & Design Inc. Matthew Cory, Malone Given Parsons. D 416.368.1460 ❑Q 130 Adelaide Street West, Suite 2200 Attachment: Background and supporting information 1. Does the approval of this MZO fetter the ability of the future Federal airport to move forward? No: In fact, we see tremendous potential opportunity and synergies between the two projects. Veraine has been strategically designed to ensure that sensitive land uses are not permitted within the airport flight zones as regulated by the Ministry of Transportation. Further, the employment lands along the Highway 407 corridor provide an opportunity to accommodate aeronautics facilities that we understand are desperately needed in Ontario. Although very synergistic, neither development is dependant upon the other for success, rather they complement and support each other nicely. 2. Is this development compatible with the future Federal airport? Yes. As mentioned above, there are many synergistic opportunities between the two projects. Veraine affords the ability to house the many employees employed by the airport and its ancillary uses providing complete communities. Thus, creating the ability to live and work nearby. As we know, this creates mental, physical health and environmental benefits from reduced commuting times. Furthermore, land uses have been strategically located to ensure compatibility between the airport and residents such that both can coexist harmoniously. 3. How does this plan address Policy 7.3.11p of the Region of Durham Official Plan? Policy 7.3.11 p outlines the requirements for any future urban area boundary expansions and contains specific requirements for Northeast Pickering - Veraine. It is the product of negotiations and settlements during the Growing Durham Study which formed the basis of ROPA 128. ROPA 128 original direction was to designate the area of Northeast Pickering as "Living Areas" and "Employment Areas", with the additional introduction of a Regional Centre. However, following adoption ,of ROPA 128 by the Region, the then Provincial government refused approval of the proposed urban boundary expansion over Northeast Pickering that was required to allow its development, primarily on the basis that growth in the provincially owned Seaton community must be achieved prior to considering growth in Northeast Pickering. Through the Ontario Municipal Board, a settlement was reached between the Region, the Province and other key stakeholders. The settlement had the effect of removing the Northeast Pickering lands from ROPA 128. However, the area of the Northeast Pickering, including the subject lands, was made subject to Policy 7.3.11p as part of the settlement. As mentioned, this policy outlines the requirements for any future urban area boundary expansions of these lands. This includes undertaking a study on the Carruthers Creek watershed. The policy was intended to continue to recognize that the area is planned to receive growth and should be considered as such in the next Regional Official Plan review. As such, the Region has commissioned the TRCA to undertake the Carruthers Creek Watershed study which is anticipated to be completed later this year. L] 416.368.1460 J 130 Adelaide Street West, Suite 2200 As indicated by Growing Durham and the adopted ROPA 128, Veraine is a logical location for growth. 4. What are the densities proposed for this community and do they achieve the targets outlined in the Growth Plan? Veraine achieves a good balanced density to support a variety of housing options, a mix of uses and public transportation. Overall, it is planned to accommodate roughly 100,000 people living and working at a density of about 90 people and jobs per hectare. The density has been intentionally spread out over the 4,000 acres. In order to achieve a diverse range of housing product to accommodate all ages and stages of future residents, neighbourhoods have been planned with this in mind. Lower density neighbourhoods accommodate predominantly grade related units which have densities of 13 units per acre, while medium density neighbourhoods, like the Town Centre, are planned to accommodate mid -rise mixed-use buildings at a density of 35 units per acre. 5. How does this community help achieve the Provinces goals outlined in its Housing Action Plan? Veraine supports Ontario's Housing Supply Action Pian based on Ontario's Five Point Plan in the following ways... 1. Speed: Cut red tape. Maintain Ontario's strong environmental protections while making the development approvals process faster. Veraine: • Dedicated city staff member to expedite approvals • Years of collaboration, research and visioning already undertaken including environmental and storrnwater studies • Support from the City and Region to make it happen quickly • A Lead developer that's committed to preserving the integrity of the developable land by enhancing the greenbelt and natural heritage of the lands • Speed up development approvals by 3-5 years and enable housing 7 years earlier. 2. Cost: Reduce development approval costs to encourage developers to build more housing. Veraine: • An increased supply of housing will assist in reducing housing costs in the market • Consideration for innovation and housing types included in council endorsed Plan Principles • City support to expedite will reduce development approval costs • Early detailed planning and collaboration between city and applicant lead to efficient reviews • Benefiting from economies of scale, the project is 4000 acres • Comprehensive plan for servicing will reduce the costs to municipal govemment 3. Mix: Make it easier to build different and varied housing types Veraine: • Commitment from developer to build varied and innovative housing types 5 -84- D g 416.368.1460 ❑V 130 Adelaide Street West, Suite 2200 • Considerations for: detached houses, townhomes, mid -rise rental apartments, second units, laneway housing, seniors housing, family sized units and courtyard housing • Not sprawl: average density will exceed Provincial guidelines and Regional goals • Age in place considerations 4. Rent: Protect tenants and make it easier to build rental housing Veraine: • Developer has initiated the exploration of rental options and other home ownership models • Aim to increase supply of purpose built rental 5. Innovation: Encourage more innovation and creativity in Ontario's housing sector and make sure government isn't standing in the way Veraine: • Commitment to resident's health with considerations for physical and mental health • Environmental protections through good planning and innovative solutions • Adapting to the future of building by exploring wood frame construction and partnering with leading edge Universities and Colleges • Desire to build a research and innovation hub to attract a wide range of employment opportunities • Investigating District Energy, Geotherml Energy and Vacuum waste • Researching the impact of autonomous vehicles and Smart Technology on neighbourhood planning • Groundbreaking and integrated stormwater management approach • Use of best in class examples locally, provincially and internationally 6. Will enacting the MZO take planning powers away from the City of Pickering? No, it will not. The MZO will enable an accelerated development timeline for Veraine while maintaining the City's regulatory authorities. The Region is undergoing a Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR) that is not anticipated to be completed until 2022. With the delays due to COVID-19 and changes to Provincial policy, we anticipate that it will likely not be completed until 2023, at the earliest. The MZO allows Veraine to proceed to detailed planning and review. It will allow the City to undertake a comprehensive area -specific official plan amendment setting the policy framework for Veraine to move forward. The project will continue to proceed through regular planning channels for review and public engagement, just expedited by around 3-4 years. 7. Will Veraine be just another typical suburban community? Quite the contrary. Typical suburban planning of past focussed on distinct clusters of land uses and a design which ultimately placed a high dependency on the private automobile. Liveability, sense of community, mental and physical health, and environmental stewardship were sacrificed. This is why today `suburban' is considered a bad name. Over the last decades, progress has been made to change typical suburban planning methodologies to rectify this. However, a tremendous amount of work is still required to truly create great communities where people and the environment is paramount. ID 416.368.1460 ❑V 130 Adelaide Street West, Suite 2200 Veraine is designed as a new type of community that focuses on the health and enrichment of its residents and the environment. Through enhanced connectivity as the cornerstone of. this community. We can empower people to use active transportation means to go to school/work, shop, visit friends and enjoy meals out. These connections, coupled .with a mix of uses and built forms throughout the community allow for tremendous positive outcomes for humans and the environment. 8. Will Development of Veraine increase flooding in downtown Ajax? No. Consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, the Veraine lands cannot create new or aggravate existing Hazard lands. Durham Region have retained the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to undertake the Carruthers Creek Watershed Study, which initiates a review of background information and establishes watershed management goals. The Study included an update of the existing condition watershed hydrology and also simulated the anticipated changes in peak flow for the various scenarios modelled. The Study concluded that through the further planning process, a hydraulic analysis will be required to confirm that the risk of flooding will not be increased. The process would involve a comprehensive assessment of alternatives to offset impacts associated with development of the Veraine lands, including downstream infrastructure conveyance improvements, flood protection options and on-site controls. The Veraine consultant team have initiated the hydrology update and will be updating the hydraulic assessment to investigate various options to build on the previous Class EA recommendations to ensure no negative impacts from development of the Veraine lands and to improve the existing downstream condition. The floodplain analysis will be completed in close consultation with TRCA and with on-going coordination with the Town of Ajax and the City of Pickering staff. 9. Will development of Veraine negatively affect the ecosystem of the Carruthers Creek Watershed? The development of Veraine has been designed to enhance the ecosystem of the Carruthers Creek watershed. The existing conditions within Veraine are degraded with less than 10% forest cover, limited riparian vegetation and extensive tile drains use. Veraine includes large restored valley corridors, a 47 ha natural heritage protection and enhancement area, and wide connections to the Provincial Greenbelt. In addition to the more than doubling of forest cover, Veraine includes retained agricultural areas that will be focused on Tess intensive farming and provide open habitat. A very important and key component of Veraine is the approach taken with the stormwater design which is based on improving the ecohydrology of the watercourses and wetlands through the capture and infiltration of rainwater throughout the community as opposed to traditional development. The intent is to reduce the impact typically encountered by increasing impervious cover through land development. By applying stormwater control techniques that mitigate the effects of imperviousness, many of the impacts traditionally associated with land development can be alleviated, this includes reducing peak flows and thermal impacts in watercourses, reducing downstream flood risks, increasing groundwater recharge and improving water quality. Overall, this enhanced approach to treating stormwater sets Veraine apart from the way land development is typically done.

I represent the Applicant/Appellant, 2388116 Ontario Inc. (the "Applicant"). Please accept this letter as a formal request by the Applicant for the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "Tribunal") to review and rescind the decision of Member Hodgins dated March 20, 2020 (the "Decision"), pursuant to section 35 of the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal Act and Rule 25 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure. The grounds for this request are that the Member made multiple errors in law and showed bias against the Applicant's expert witnesses. We are also requesting that the time limit for the submission of this request be suspended in accordance with Regulations under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act. We encountered logistical and administrative difficulties in working with the expert witnesses to put together this request. The Applicant's contact information is as follows: Address: 1289 Wharf Street, Pickering, Ontario, L1W 1A2 Telephone No/Email: 905-837-5621 /ralph@rbmc.ca 95 Barber Greene Rd., Suite 100, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M3C 3E9 Tel: 416.449.1400 Fax: 416.449.7071 www.deveylaw.ca 87 Q 5Sor 300 Oo RECEIVED DEVRY SMITH FRANK LLP Page 2 My contact information is as set out in this letterhead. The reasons for the request are set out in detail in the affidavit of Marc Kemerer, sworn May 28,2020 and attached hereto. In summary and with respect, Member Hodgins: 1. made a number of fundamental errors in the interpretation and application of the proper hierarchy of the planning instruments in this case: the 2014/2019 Growth Plan, the 2014/2019 Provincial Policy Statement, the Region of Durham Official Plan ("ROP")and the City of Pickering Official Plan ("COP"). The Tribunal Member in this case reversed the order of this hierarchy and relied on the COP, an out-of-date, nonconforming, local Official Plan, to conclude that the subject proposal did not conform, and was not consistent, with the relevant planning instruments. In fact, the subject proposal conformed to, and implemented the specific intensification policies of, the ROP, as confirmed by Planning staff from the Region. A critical flaw in the Decision was that it did not appropriately recognize that site is designated for intensification as a "Waterfront Place"; and 2. demonstrated a clear bias against the subject applications and the experts witnesses called on behalf of the applicant. The four highly qualified and experienced experts retained by the Applicant worked for several years on the application, creating numerous detailed reports, plans and illustrations. Notwithstanding their expertise and experience with the site, Member Hodgins, on 23 separate occasions covering almost every issue, accepted or relied on the position taken by the municipality's external consultants, and rejected most of the opinions or evidence from all four experts called on behalf of the applicant. While it may be reasonable for the Member to prefer the evidence of the City's external consultants on some points, the wholesale rejection of the evidence of the applicant's witnesses, in the context of this hearing, was patently unreasonable and unfounded. The Applicant it is submitted was denied a fair and unbiased hearing. It is thus the submission of the Applicant that Member Hodgins (a) acted outside of his jurisdiction in reversing the order of the hierarchy of the planning instruments and diminishing the role of the ROP; (b) violated the rules of natural justice and procedural fairness; and (c) made such errors of law that the Tribunal would likely have reached a different decision had the errors not occurred. Accordingly, it would be appropriate for the Tribunal to grant this request for review, rescind the Decision and schedule a new hearing with clear instructions that the new panel should appropriately review the subject applications through the lens of the correct hierarchy of planning instruments. I have not received instructions to file an Application for Leave to Appeal or for a judicial review. In accordance with the Tribunal's Rules, the affidavit of Marc Kemerer, together with Exhibits thereto, are included with this request for a new hearing. -88- DEVRY SMITH FRANK LLP Page 3 Please also find enclosed our firm's cheque in the amount of $300 made payable to the Minister of Finance for the fee associated with this request for review.

Cfy ot DICKERING Report to Council Report Number: BYL 03-20 Date: June 29, 2020 From: Paul Bigioni Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor Subject: Pickering Markets Request for Reduction of the Market Licensing Fees - Council Resolution # 315/20 - File: L-2000 Recommendation: 1. That Council receive Report BYL 03-20 for information; and 2. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary actions as may be directed by Council. Executive Summary: At the May 25, 2020 Council meeting, Council considered correspondence from the Pickering Markets (Corr 16-20) regarding a request to reduce the market licensing fees from the current $1,000.00 per day of operation to $100.00 per day of operation. Councillors had a number of questions regarding the request and referred the matter back to staff for further information. Based upon the information provided by Erik Tamm, General Manager of Pickering Markets, it appears that any reduction in the City's fees would assist Pickering Markets, but would not assist its vendors. Financial Implications: Based on the information provided by Erik Tamm, Pickering Markets hosts over 300 vendors, each paying rent ranging from $175.00 to $225.00 per week. Assuming an average weekly rent of $200.00 is paid by each of the 300 vendors, Pickering Markets generates revenue of approximately $240,000.00 per month. Out of this revenue, Pickering Markets pays its landlord rent of $150,000.00 per month (please note that if all of the vendors paid the lowest weekly rent of $175.00, Pickering Markets would still generate revenue of $210,000.00 per month). The licensing fee Pickering Markets pays the City is $8,000.00 per month. Pickering Markets was already provided a credit for two weeks licensing fees, as they were required to shut down in the middle of March and had already paid the monthly licensing fee. They have a $4,000.00 credit with the City to be utilized upon re -opening. If Pickering Markets re -opens on the first weekend in July, it will pay the City $4,000.00 for July licensing fees (after applying the $4,000.00 credit). From August through December 31st, the license fees owing to the City will be $44,000.00. Total fees payable to December 31St will thus be $48,000.00. -90- BYL 03-20 June 29, 2020 Subject: Pickering Markets re Fees Reduction Request Page 2 Pickering Markets seeks a fee reduction. It proposes to pay $100.00 per operating day until the end of 2020. After applying the $4,000.00 credit, this equates to a payment of only $1,200.00 to December 31St. This represents a fee reduction of $46,800.00 for the City to December 31St Discussion: Set out below are the questions raised at the May 25th Council meeting. These questions were forwarded to Erik Tamm, and his responses are noted below in red. 1) The City has not collected the licensing fee while the market is not in operation. Have your tenants been required to pay rent to maintain their spots during the same time period? We have not charged our tenants a single dollar of rent since we have been closed. This simply was not an option for us to keep tenants. 2) Can you please provide the regular rental fee each tenant/operator pays for their space, and the amount you are planning on reducing it to if your licensing fee is reduced to the amount requested? If the fee varies by the size of the space, please provide the ranges in rent. The regular rental rate ranges from $175-$225/week depending on location, with the majority being $175. The rent once we open will be increasing by $10/month to allow us to recover a very small portion of expenses while we are closed. 3) Can you advise whether Pickering Markets is receiving any funding subsidy from either the Federal or Provincial governments in relation to COVID-19 relief for businesses? We are currently receiving the wage subsidy, however we have laid off all of our staff with the exception of myself and 2 others as we cannot afford to have any other staff. We also received the $40,000 small business loan. Our landlords are not taking part in the commercial rent subsidy as we are considered a large business (rent is $150,000/month), therefore we are on the hook for over a half a million dollars...we are trying to appeal to provincial and federal government for some answers on this. 4) Based on the current Provincial Emergency Orders, the Pickering Markets are not permitted to re -open to the public. Once the Province rescinds the emergency order, how long do you anticipate before you re -open? That is a tough question to answer as we are trying to find answers about what the requirements will be for us to open. Without clear guidance, it is impossible for me to answer that question. The answers we are looking for are the following: - How many people will be allowed in the building at any given time? - Will we need to have controlled counters and security at our doorway? - What are the PPE requirements for vendors and customers? - Will there be a limit on the number of people in each booth at one time? There are more questions that will be required, as well, but I would anticipate 1-2 weeks to start back up. - 91 - BYL 03-20 June 29, 2020 Subject: Pickering Markets re Fees Reduction Request Page 3 Councillors' major concern was confirming that reducing the licensing fees would benefit the small business owners operating from the Pickering Markets. The information provided by Erik Tamm indicates the Pickering Markets are actually proposing to increase their vendors' rent by $10.00 each month, which will bring in an additional $3,000.00 per month.

Our vendors have opened store fronts and developed into national chains (like Kitchen Stuff Plus) and The Market has been a long-term attraction to the City of Pickering. Our vendors are reporting sales that are down 30-40% from the last year and are struggling themselves to stay open and maintain their small businesses. Since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, it resulted in increased operational costs, with The Markets doing their best by hiring extra cleaning staff and providing sanitizer to all customers as well as gloves to vendors. It resulted in a lower customer turnout in January, February and March due to people being selective about their shopping habits and the constant reminder to stay home. We closed our doors March 15th (before the order from Provincial Government) in the belief that the health and safety of our vendors, staff, customers, and residents within Durham region was to be put first. We have laid off the majority of our staff, in an effort to try to keep our lights on and be able to reopen our doors and continue to be an attraction as well as a home to our small businesses. In the past few years, I have been asking for support from The City of Pickering with regards to the Market License fee (By-law 1887/84). We are now asking that for the remainder of 2020, that this fee be reduced from the current $1,000/day to $100/day to allow us some financial relief once we get back to business. I thank you in advance for your consideration and we look forward to re -opening and continuing to be an attraction for The City of Pickering.

That Tender No. T2020-10 submitted by Eileen Roofing Inc., in the amount of $232,316.14 (HST included), be accepted; 2. That the total gross project cost of $277,517.00 (HST included), including the amount of the tender, contingency, and other associated costs, and the total net project cost of $249,913.00 (net of HST rebate), be approved; 3. That the Director, Finance & Treasurer be authorized to finance the net project cost of $249,913.00 by revising the sum of $470,000.00, as provided for in the 2020 Recreation Complex (Core) Capital Budget to $249,913.00 and the source of funds be revised from 15 - year debt to a transfer from the Rate Stabilization Reserve; 4. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary actions as indicated in this report. Executive Summary: Tender T2020-10 was issued for repairs and protection of aging metal roof and cladding components at the Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex, including repairs to drainage and structural support steel for the concrete precast panels on the south side of the tennis courts. The existing components are original, dating back to 1982. Ice dams and pooling in gutters during heavy rainfall have occasionally resulted in water flowing down the interior face of the precast panels, corroding the supporting steel over time. The proposed work will add new supports to the existing frames, correct the trough design to prevent backflow, and apply a coating material over the existing metal roof and other metal cladding around the Recreation Complex to extend the metal's life. This same coating approach was used during repairs to steel roofs and cladding on the banquet hall in 2019, and colours will be made to match the newer finish. Tender No. T2020-10 was released and made available to the public on the City's website on Wednesday, May 13, 2020. An optional site visit was held on Thursday, May 21, 2020. The tender closed on Wednesday, June 3, 2020. Four companies submitted bids for this project. -94- Report CS 15-20 Subject: Tender for Tennis Court Wall and Roof Repairs at Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex June 29, 2020 The low bid submitted by Eileen Roofing Inc., in the amount of $232,316.14 (HST included), is recommended for approval.

Separate provisions have been included for testing and inspection services and additional consulting fees associated with field review during construction. Considering that the tender results came in favourable, the funding source for the Recreation Complex -Core project, 5731.2001.6500 has been revised from 15 -year debt to the Rate Stabilization Reserve. There is sufficient funds in the reserve to accommodate the lower net project cost, and by not undertaking debt financing, the City's overall debt load will be reduced. -95- Report CS 15-20 June 29, 2020 Subject: Tender for Tennis Court Wall and Roof Repairs at Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex Discussion: Facilities staff retained consultants in 2019 to investigate the condition of the aging roofs, drainage and structural steel in and around the tennis courts at the Recreation Complex. Existing problems with water infiltration date back to the original construction of the building, and were determined to require remedial action. The existing metal roofs and cladding are approaching the end of life cycle. The underlying metals are in relatively good condition, but although the red paint finish is prone to fading over time it has yet to exhibit flaking or de -bonding from the metal. Installing a coating product over the existing pre -finished metal will protect and extend its life, refresh the appearance of the building, and is a cost effective solution to extend the life of these assets. The same type of coating was applied to other parts of the building in 2019, and is expected to last approximately ten years. Most of the water from the indoor tennis courts at the Recreation Complex drains into a large gutter on the south side of the building, where it is directed to grade. Snow and ice can build up in this gutter, backing up water flow and forcing it back under the roof and into the building interior. The same condition can occur during very heavy rain falls. This exterior wall is composed of prefabricated concrete panels supported by a steel frame. Due to the manner of assembly of the frame, water flowing into the building can collect in sections of the supporting steel, which end up acting like troughs. Over time, this has caused heavy corrosion of these steel beams and the anchors connecting them to the precast panels. The nature and extent of the existing risk is sufficient that staff recommended a separate budget be carried to complete these repairs as soon as possible, and preferably before larger scale renovations of the Recreation Complex began. Repairs will involve the installation of new support beams on the existing columns, which are in good condition. The existing beams will remain in place as additional reinforcement. This approach will also help minimize costs and reduce the time required to complete the work. Tender No. T2020-10 was released and made available for information to the public on the City's website on Wednesday, May 13, 2020. An optional site visit was held on Thursday, May 21, 2020. The tender closed on Wednesday, June 3, 2020. Four companies submitted bids for this project. The low bidder, Eileen Roofing Inc., has submitted a signed copy of the City's Health & Safety form. The Certificate of Insurance is deemed acceptable to the Manager, Budgets & Internal Audit. Staff have reviewed previous work experience of Eileen Roofing Inc., and their submitted waste management plan, and deemed them to be acceptable. Community Services' staff will initiate a requisition upon confirmation that all conditions of award are in compliance with requirements. Upon careful examination of all bids and relevant documents received, the Community Services Department recommends the acceptance of Tender No. T2020-10 submitted by Eileen Roofing Inc., in the amount of $232,316.14 (HST included) and that the total net project cost of $249,913.00 be approved.

That Council authorize the Director, Finance & Treasurer to pay invoices rendered by Architects Alliance for the Pickering City Centre Project in the amount of $687,392.01 (inclusive of HST), and that such project costs be charged to the following capital accounts as follows: (a) Pickering Performing Arts Centre (5740.2001.0000) - $317,926.77, (b) Pickering Public Library (5740.2002.0000) - $196,465.38, (c) Pickering Youth/Seniors' Centre (5740.2003.0000) - $172,999.86; and 2. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary actions as indicated in this report. Executive Summary: The City has received invoices from Architects Alliance ("aA") in the amount of $687,392.01 (inclusive of HST). These fees are related to the ongoing design work for the Pickering City Centre Project to March 12, 2020. Financial Implications: In February of this year, Council approved Report CAO 01-20 authorizing the payment of outstanding architect and consulting fees in the amount of $1,833,797.84 (inclusive of HST). If the Recommendations in this Report are approved, the total year-to-date billed architectural and related consulting costs approved by Council will be $2,521,189.85 ($1,833,797.84 + $687,392.01). Additional indirect project costs associated with this project will be addressed in a future report, once development management agreements have been finalized. Discussion: aA has been working on the design of the City Centre starting in the first quarter of 2019. Their work has produced concept drawings that meets the Council -endorsed vision for the City Centre. Their design work will form the basis from which the construction costs will be determined. As directed by City Council on April 27, 2020 (Report FIN 05-20), the Pickering City Centre Project has been paused until the Fall, due to economic uncertainty as a result of the - 101 - LEG 03-20 June 29, 2020 Subject: City Centre — Payment of Architects Alliance Invoices Page 2 COVID-19 pandemic. As such, architectural design work has been stopped since March 12, 2020.
