7.1 Jackie Flowers, CEO & Director of Public Libraries
Sarah Sheehy, Board Chair
Pickering Public Library
Re: 2020 Year in Review
Carried
Sarah Sheehy, Board Chair, Pickering Public Library, and Jackie Flowers, CEO &
Director of Public Libraries, Pickering Public Library, joined the electronic meeting
to provide a 2020 review of the Pickering Public Library. Through the aid of a
PowerPoint presentation, Ms. Sheehy highlighted a number of notable events,
which included the introduction of curbside pickup, the hiring of a new CEO, a
website update, and a number of new virtual programs for the public. She added
that despite the months of closure and restricted levels of service due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, residents continued to use the library services, adding that
40 per cent of the City's population had an active library card. Ms. Sheehy stated
that the Board had recently completed a virtual board retreat outlining the future
plans for the remaining two years of the term, which included refreshing the home
bound library services for seniors, an Anti-Black Racism Working Group, and a
curated collection of popular picks. Ms. Sheehy concluded her delegation by
advising that the library had reopened to the public following the lifting of the
provincial COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, adding that more information was
available on their website.

7.2 Andrew Simanovskis
Re: Request for City Endorsement of Land Division Application -LD 175/17
Lot 27, Concession 1
Andrew Simanovskis, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection to seek
City endorsement for his Land Division Application -LD 175/17. Mr. Simanovskis
noted that City Staff had advised him that his application was inconsistent with the
Council approved Pickering Official Plan and the Dunbarton Neighbourhood
Development Guidelines, and that an extension and completion of Helm Street
would be required. He added that the objectives of the Official Plan encouraged
new roads, to connect with existing roads, to minimize dead-ends, and create
opportunities for infill development, noting that the City's plan for achieving these
objectives was to create a partial extension of Helm Street into the subject
property. Mr. Simanovskis added that should Helm Street be extended, it would
still be a dead-end, and would not create new lots, and that the extension would
not be supported by the present owner. He further stated that there was no
justification for a turning circle on the subject property unless the City extended
Helm Street to connect it to Strouds Lane. Mr. Simanovskis concluded his
delegation by stating that Council had flexibility in implementing the Official Plan,
and that Official Plans were intended to be broad and flexible.
A question and answer ensued between Members of Council and Andrew
Simanovskis regarding:
•viable solutions that Mr. Simanovskis could suggest regarding the
outstanding road issue;
•whether Mr. Simanovskis had been advised by Staff of the importance of
the turning circle as it pertains to garbage and fire trucks;
•communicating with City Development Staff regarding the application; and,
•land division matters being under the jurisdiction of the Regional Land
Division Committee and not City Council.

WHEREAS, in the Brock Ridge Neighbourhood, the Duffins Precinct is located on
the east side of Brock Road (RR#1 ), and that part of the Duffins Precinct located
opposite Major Oaks Road has 146 existing homes and a population of 425
individuals, with a very busy place of worship/school/community centre;
And Whereas, there is presently an application under consideration for an
additional 380 homes with a projected population of 765 individuals;
And Whereas, the only access to southbound Brock Road, the most frequent
turning movement from the neighbourhood, is on the north side of the
neighbourhood at the signalized intersection of Brock Road and the northern leg
of Usman Road, opposite Major Oaks Road;
And Whereas, the place of worship and proposed new development is at the
south end of the neighbourhood with no immediate point of access to southbound

restricted to left in, right in and right out only;

And Whereas, the Region of Durham is requiring the closure of the direct access
laneway from the Pickering Islamic Centre to Brock Road which will further
exacerbate traffic concerns in the neighbourhood;
And Whereas, the major community park for the area is on the west side of Brock
Road with no direct access across Brock Road, requiring park goers to walk to
signalized intersections at Major Oaks Road or Finch Avenue, a distance of up to
600 metres for pedestrians. Access to the park is important given the number of
young families and expected new population growth;
Now therefore be it resolved that the Council of The Corporation of the City of
Pickering requests:
1.That the Region of Durham consider the expedited approval and installation
of full traffic and pedestrian signals at the intersection of Brock Road
(RR#1) and the southern leg of Usman Road in place of the existing left in,
right in and right out only access;
2.That the installation of signals be completed prior to the beginning of
construction of the new development in order to address construction traffic
from having to drive through the existing neighbourhood; and,
