Executive Summary: The applicant proposes to develop a draft plan of subdivision
consisting of two blocks. The northern block is for open space and the southern block is
proposed to be developed with a future draft plan of condominium consisting of
132 freehold townhouse dwelling units. The condominium proposal will be a common
element condominium. The applicant proposes to amend the current zoning to allow
the proposed freehold townhouse development with appropriate performance
standards.
The applications propose appropriate density on an infill site resulting in transit
supportive intensification next to a transit spine. The design is considered compatible
with the surrounding land uses. As part of the draft plan of subdivision process it is
proposed that ESA lands be conveyed to the Toronto Region Conservation Authority.
The proposed development is considered appropriate as it implements the Official Plan.
Financial Implications:
proposed development.
No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the

Background:
1.0
Introduction
Brookfield Homes on behalf of the owners, have submitted applications for
approval of a draft plan of subdivision and an amendment to the zoning by-law in
order to implement the proposed draft plan on the subject lands (see Location
Map, Attachment #1). The draft plan of subdivision is proposed to create two
blocks of land only, the southern block is proposed for residential development
and the northern block is for open space purposes (see Attachment #2). On the
residential block the applicant proposes to submit an application for draft plan of
condominium for 132 freehold townhouse dwelling units. The condominium
proposal will be a common element condominium for private internal roads,
visitor parking area, a playground and some perimeter landscaping elements.
Since the public meeting the applicant has submitted a revised development
plan. While the plan of subdivision continues to propose two development
blocks, significant changes have been made to the development plan. Changes
include a reduction in the number of dwelling units, the elimination of the
connecting driveway between the western and eastern development blocks, a
building setback of 15 metres along the western property line and the elimination
of the western most access point from Finch Avenue. The applicant's initial and
revised development plans are provided for reference as Attachments #3 and #4
respectively.
The development plan does not propose the creation of any new municipal
streets, rather the creation of private roads/laneways. All of the freehold
townhouse dwelling units will front onto one of the private roads. The subject
lands are proposed to have access from both Kingston Road and Finch Avenue.
The following chart outlines the proposed development detail:

Comments Received
2.1
At the November 20,2003, Public Information Meeting
Numerous residents appeared at the meeting to voice their opposition to the
proposed development and to raise concerns related to density, drainage/water
table, traffic, impact on vegetation and compatibility with the neighbourhood (see
text of Information Report and Meeting Minutes, Attachments #5 and #6).
Written Public Submissions on the application
Four area residents in the neighbourhood of the subject property have expressed
written objection or concern with the initial applications. The issues identified in
the correspondence are:
2.2
. The proposed development would not be compatible with the existing
neighbourhood.
. Lack of buffer between the existing large lot detached dwellings and the
proposed townhouses.
. Fill placement on the subject property and the impact on drainage,
groundwater and vegetation.
. Drainage of the site and potential impact on abutting property drainage.
. Impact on existing private services of abutting properties.
. Increased traffic on Finch Avenue and problem with ingress/egress onto
Kingston Road (see Attachments #7 to #10).

Discussion
- Has provided detailed comments on the submitted
material noting that certain technical matters will
have to be addressed during the detailed design if
this application is approved (see Attachment #13).
- Cash in-lieu of parkland dedication is required.
- Public access is required through the subject
property for a trail connection to the trail that is
located along Duffins Creek.
- The reconstruction and urbanization of Finch Avenue
east of Brock Road will be required as per City's
Development Charge project list and future budget
consideration (see Attachment #14).
- No objection on the land use and detail comments
will be provided at time of site plan review, if this
application is approved.
The Proposed Density/Number of Townhouse Dwelling Units is Appropriate
The developable portion of the subject property has two Official Plan
designations on it. The eastern portion is designated Mixed Use Area -
Mixed Corridors Area and permits, amongst others, a variety of residential uses
including townhouses. The Pickering Official Plan establishes a density range of
over 30 and up to and including 140 dwelling units per hectare for development
within a Mixed Use Area - Mixed Corridors Area.
The westem portion is designated Urban Residential Area - Medium Density Area
and permits, amongst others, a variety of residential uses including townhouses.
The Pickering Official Plan establishes a density range of over 30 and up to and
including 80 dwelling units per hectare for development within an
Urban Residential Area - Medium Density Area.
The overall density for the project is 38.9 units per hectare. The proposed
density for the subject property is in the lower limit of the permitted density range.
The design of the project appropriately spreads the dwelling units evenly out on
the property, thereby ensuring that both the eastern and western portions of the
proposed development meet the density requirements of both of the Official Plan
designations.
The applications comply with the Official Plan and represent appropriate
development for the subject lands.

Suitable Separation is provided between the Townhouses and the Existing
Large Lot Detached Dwellings
Concern has been expressed by some area residents that there is insufficient
separation between the existing detached dwellings along Finch Avenue and the
proposed townhouse development. One of the revisions that the applicant made
to the development plan was to increase the separation between their western
property line and the first townhouse dwelling unit. The proposed separation is
now 15 metres.
The applicant has submitted an edge rehabilitation plan for the western boundary
of the property that indicates the establishment of a landscaped buffer strip that
will provide additional buffering between the new townhouses and the existing
detached dwellings.
It is also recognized that the lands to the west of the subject property along
Finch Avenue to Brock Road, are designated as Urban Residential Area -
Medium Density Area. This would indicate that while the area is presently an
enclave of large lot detached dwellings, the area might not always remain as
such. If redevelopment of these lots were to occur the separation concern would
be less of an issue.
Townhouses are Compatible with Existing Neighbourhood
When reviewing a development application it must be considered whether the
proposal constitutes appropriate land use and can be considered compatible, or
whether its degree of incompatibility can be appropriately mitigated. Matters to
consider for compatibility include: land use designation; policies and intent of the
Official Plan; urban design; and mitigation of any potential land use conflicts.
As noted, the subject property is appropriately designated for the proposed
development and is considered to meet the spirit and intent of the policies of the
Official Plan.
The issue of urban design is an important consideration that must be addressed.
This matter deals with massing and design of the buildings. While detailed
building designs have not been undertaken (which is normal for this stage of the
development process) the applicant has developed some preliminary elevations
and building perspectives. If this application is approved, it will be a requirement
that the buildings facing a public view be designed with a high order of urban
design.
The applicant is proposing a buffer strip surrounding the property and proposing
implementation of an edge management plan that will contribute to the
separation of the different land uses.
The proposed development is considered compatible with the surrounding land
uses.

Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision S-P-2003-04

Traffic Movements on Finch Avenue and Kingston Road are Acceptable
A Traffic Impact Assessment (dated August 7, 2003) and a Traffic Impact
addendum (dated March 12,2004) were prepared by consultants on behalf of the
applicant to support their applications. Both the City of Pickering and the Region
of Durham have reviewed the reports and have no concerns with the finding of
the reports.
Finch Avenue between the subject site and Brock Road is designated as a Local
Road in the Pickering Official Plan. Local Roads generally provide access to
individual properties, carry local traffic and have a right-of-way width up to
20 metres. The traffic reports indicate that the Finch Avenue, east of Brock Road
is currently functioning within acceptable standards. The report also concludes
that this part of the road will continue to function at peak traffic times within
acceptable standards and no intersection improvements are required.
The western units in the development plan will access onto Finch Avenue only,
while the eastern units will only have access onto Kingston Road. The current
conditions of Finch Avenue can accommodate the increase in vehicular traffic.
Kingston Road, where it abuts the subject property, is designated as a Type B
Arterial Road. Type B Arterial Roads are designed to carry moderate volumes of
traffic at moderate speeds. Kingston Road is a five-lane cross-section in the
vicinity of the subject property. The turning movement characteristics of the
Kingston Road access are influenced by the high westbound volume in morning
peak hour and high volume eastbound in the evening peak hour. While the high
traffic volumes will cause some minor delays to residents of the proposed
townhouses, the site access will operate within acceptable standards.
TraillWalkway Connection will be required from Kingston Road/Finch Avenue
to the TRCA lands
The subject property is located in a strategic location in terms of pedestrian
movements. The property fronts where Finch Avenue and Kingston Road meet
and the Duffin Creek trail is located behind the subject lands on the Duffin Creek
dike. The property is also approximately mid-block between Brock Road and the
Town of Ajax. It is therefore an appropriate location for a walkway connection
between the two pedestrian paths of travel (east/west travel pattern either along
Duffin Creek trail or along the Kingston-Finch roadways).
It is therefore recommended that the development of the subject property include
a walkway connection from Kingston Road/Finch Avenue northward to the north
edge of the residential block (Block 1). A continuation of the walkway through
Block 2 and/or TRCA lands will be concluded with TRCA. The subdivider will be
required to design, construct and convey the walkway to the City.

Impacts on 1816 Finch Avenue taken into Consideration
The proposed development generally surrounds 1816 Finch Avenue (property
owned by Daisy Brimbecom) and will have an impact on this property. This
property presently supports a detached dwelling. It is always preferred that
development occur in an orderly manner and individual properties are not
isolated. However, if a property owner chooses not to redevelop their property it
is their right to do so. It is also recognized that if one property owner chooses not
to redevelop, this does not eliminate another property owner's ability to redevelop
their lands. During the detailed design of the townhouses, special attention will
be given to the grading and fencing next to 1816 Finch Avenue to ensure impacts
are mitigated.
As part of the review process the applicant has provided possible options for the
redevelopment of 1816 Finch Avenue that demonstrates that the property can be
redeveloped in the future. The design of the subject townhouse proposal is such
that 1816 Finch Avenue can be redeveloped independently or with some relation
to the subject applications. As part of the conditions of approval it is being
recommended that future right-of-way for access be granted if development is
such that it is associated with the proposed development.
Technical Matters
3.1
Fencing of the Site is Required
The subject draft plan will require the perimeter of the residential block to be
fenced. Noise attenuation fences are required for end units that front Kingston
Road. The western, northern and eastern perimeter of the residential block will
require appropriate fencing. Fencing will also be required surrounding the
existing internal residential lot.
Prior to the installation of the permanent fence, a temporary construction fence
will be erected and maintained. Conditions of Approval recommended in
Appendix I to this Report include provisions to ensure that both temporary and
permanent fencing will be installed around the subject lands.
Subdivision Agreement will be required to Address Development
A future subdivision agreement between the City and the owner of the lands will
be required to ensure that all matters of interest to the City are protected. This
required agreement, and several other development implementation matters, are
incorporated into the recommended conditions of approval for this application
and are found in Appendix I to this Report.
Cash-in-Lieu of Parkland
As no park blocks form part of the draft plan, the City will accept cash-in lieu from
the subdivider in order to satisfy Section 42(1) of the Planning Act.
Report PO 26-04
Date: ,June 14, 2004 009
Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision S-P-2003-04
Page 8
Edge Management/Open Space Restoration
An edge management plan will be required for Block 2. As part of the detailed
design for the site/condominium plan the owner will be required to prepare an
edge management plan to the City's satisfaction. The edge management plan
may result in planting of appropriate species and the removal of dead or
declining trees.
Interface between Proposed Development and Existing Property
The interface between the proposed draft plan and the existing residential lots to
the west will have to be appropriately designed so that the existing residential
properties are not physically impacted by the proposed development
construction. This will include addressing matters such as grading, fencing,
drainage and vegetation preservation and planting.
These matters should be addressed in the detailed design .of draft plan and
through the site plan approval process.
Urbanization of Finch Avenue and Kingston Road
The urbanization of Finch Avenue from the subject property to Brock Road is
intended to be done by the City. This work has been identified as a Development
Charge project, however, the works have not been given any form of budget
approval. While the preference is that these works proceed in a similar time
frame as the construction of the proposed townhouse development it has been
concluded that the urbanization works is not a prerequisite for the townhouses
development. The actual urbanization of Finch Avenue, directly in front of the
townhouses may be delayed until the entire road is reconstructed. These details,
including the owner's contribution will be concluded in the required agreements.
The City will determine the timing of the reconstruction of Finch Avenue. The
proposed development will cause the Finch Avenue reconstruction to be given a
higher priority.
The urbanization of Kingston Road will not be completed as a result of the
proposed development. The urbanization of Kingston Road will involve a portion
of Kingston Road that exceeds the frontage of the subject land and should be
undertaken in a comprehensive manner. The City will be taking a cash
contribution from the owner in lieu of the work.
With the development of the subject site the City will require to owner to
contribute to the development of a "gateway feature" to be located on City lands
where Finch Avenue terminates at Kingston Road. This gateway feature, as
required in the Kingston Road Corridor Urban Design Development Guidelines, is
anticipated to include a structure feature and landscape feature.

Further Processing of the Development
The effect of this plan of subdivision will be to create two blocks of land from the
total land holdings, one for the future development of townhouses by plan of
condominium and one as an open space block to be conveyed to TRCA. The
individual blocks and lots for the townhouse units will be created through the draft
plan of condominium process and part lot control. The detail design issues will
be dealt with through an application for site plan approval.
No further reports are anticipated to be brought before Council if the subject
applications are approved. The actual zoning by-law amendment (implementing
zoning by-law) will come before Council for adoption after design detail is
presented to staff on some technical issues.

DRAFT PLAN OF SUBDIVISION APPLICATION SP-2003-04
ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION A 20/03
BROOKFIELD HOMES ON BEHALF OF C. WANNACOTT AND M. OTTO
PART OF LOTS 17, CONCESSION 2
1.
Ross Pym, Principal Planner - Development Review, provided an explanation.of
the application, as outlined in Information Report #21-03.
Mr. John Beretsford, agent for Brookfield Homes, advised that they have
amended the original plans to address the traffic concerns for the Finch Ave.
entrance as expressed at the residents meeting in September. Mr. Beretsford
mentioned that the proposed solution is to restrict the access from Finch Ave. to
the 20 townhouses located in the west end area of the development. He
conveyed a second commitment from Brookfield to improve the entrance from
Kingston Road to meet emergency services vehicle access and improve traffic
flow.
2.
The proposed development is to remain intact, although there may be loss of a
few units to accommodate ES vehicle. The building designs are still 3 storey
townhouses with 2 model types, front facing garage or rear lane garage, with 2-
car parking spots. An additional 43 visitor parking spots will be assigned by unit.
All construction activity will be controlled from the Kingston Road entrance.
Environmentally sensitive lands will be protected through proper grading and
drainage on the site.
Brookfield Homes demonstrated that it did listen to residents' concerns.
Vince Otto, 1774 Finch Avenue, stated that he is glad to see that the access from
Finch Ave. will be reduced to only one, but is concerned about the number of
properties proposed for the west side. The residents agree with the number of
lots on the east side, but are concerned that the townhouses on the west side do
not confirm with the street character. He suggested that there be 108 units on
the east side and only 13 units on the west side if this meets with the
requirements of the City's Official Plan. Mr. Otto further stated that he is not
opposed to development, but wants to protect property values. He also
suggested that the City should develop Blue Bird Crescent to eliminate the
entrance from Finch Avenue.

,[. Excerpts from
Statutory Public Information Meeting
Thursday, November 20,2003
7:00 P.M.
4.
Les Posthumus, 1754 Finch Avenue, advised that the proposed development
does not match the current character of the homes on the west side. They
should be single family type dwellings. He is supportive of development as long
as it improves the look of the community. If this is the gateway to Pickering, we
should ensure that it is appealing.
5.
Dani Shore, 1750 Finch Avenue, advised that the change in density from low to
medium should not be considered for this development.
6.
Maureen Shore, 1750 Finch Avenue, advised of her concern that the trees in this
area will be destroyed and that the remaining property in the middle of this
development will no longer have any natural light and be surrounded by a large
number of neighbours. We should maintain our quality and our look. She
recommended that the developer reconsider the plans to allow for low density
area for the west side therefore having a satisfactory outcome for both parties.
7.
Jim Mason, 1734 Finch Avenue, advised that he is concerned about the water
level and drainage. The quality of life the residents of this area have enjoyed
should be maintained. Mr. Mason supports a low density development and
suggested that additional consideration should be given to the traffic congestion.
He further suggested creating an entrance on the east side of the development
as an option.
8.
Bob Ben, 1760 Bluebird Crescent, advised that after discussion with staff of the
City of Pickering a few years ago, he was assured that there would never be any
development in this area. The residents would like it to remain as is. We support
single family type dwelling.
9.
Catherine Reidt, 1744 Finch Avenue, invited the developers to visit their
community to see what the homes and surrounding areas look like. The
community wants to work with the City and come up with a mutual agreement for
everyone. Ms. Reidt enquired if the developer has any established developments
which they can view to see the quality of workmanship, the streetscape designs
etc. She also asked for clarification on the public process from this point.
Nefra Leppard, 1756 Finch Avenue, advised that she is not in agreement with the
access from Finch Avenue. She commented that the development does not
allow for any transition from the current home types to townhouses. She raised
questions with regards to who is responsible for approving the changes in density
and expressed concerns that crime usually increases in high density areas. This
is the only high density development proposed for the Duffins Creek area.

Ross Posthumus, 1754 Finch Avenue, enquired if the TRCA were given copies
of this development and what were their findings and/or comments.
Bob Ben confirmed his approval to be nominated as the key contact person for
the resident group to distribute reports and notify everyone of upcoming
meetings.
Mr. Peter Schut, Brookfield Homes, advised that they have noted the comments
and will respond to the residents.
Ross Pym advised that the TRCA has received copies of the report and has
requested additional time to review the material. The next steps are for staff to
review the technical issues, prepare a report outlining recommendations for
review at the next Planning Committee meeting. Residents will be notified of this
meeting and can obtain copies of the report. A final report is then presented to
Council where they make the decision. It was noted that if there are any
requests for zoning bylaw amendments, the public has a right to appeal this
decision. The density classification was determined in the City of Pickering's
Official Plan in 1997.

Dear Bruce Taylor:
Re:
Notice of a Public Meeting - Draft Plan of Subdivision S-P-2003-04
Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 20/03
Brookfield Homes (Ontario) Limited on behalf ofM. Otto and C. Wannacott
In response to the notification of the above applications, as a property owner, immediately
abutting the east side of the subject property, please be advised of the following comments:
Right of Way - Existing Driveway
\
There is a driveway & registered right of way, located at the south east side of the subject
property. The driveway and right of way provides the access to the house we owned, located at
1864 Kingston Road West.
This is an outstanding matter. There has been a brief discussion with a representative of
Brookfield Homes, however this needs to be resolved. Without suitable resolution, the
townhouses over the right otway would not be permitted.
Grading
It is our understanding that the applicant intends to add substantial landfill to raise the grades of
the entire site, in accordance to comments from TRCA. Based on this initiative, concerns are
raised as the elevations and slopes/retaining walls along the east property line. We request further
information.
,~E:-,j~-: I
035
2
Impact on Existing Septic Bed - 1864 Kingston Road
As a result of the development proposal, concerns are raised over the impact of the existing septic
bed for the house, located at 1864 Kingston Road, immediately beside the subject site. Grading &
construction impact must be further investigated and addressed.
Servicing
It is our understanding that the applicant is working on the stormwater management plan. We are
unaware of the location of the quality/quantity stormwater management pond, as it is not
identified on the proposed circulated plans. We would encourage direct discussion with the
applicant, TRCA & City staff regarding any potential storm water management initiatives, which
could address both the subject property & the long term redevelopment of our lands, which
extend eastward to Duffm' s Creek.
Access
Based on the proposed site/condo plan, the design indicates 2 driveways extending eastward
towards the east property line. Clarification is requested as to how the IDWlicipality perceives the
long term driveway circulátion concept of the overall area, as our property frontage incorporates
the Notion Road signalized intersection.
We would appreciate a response and resolution of the above comments and concerns.

Part of Lots 17, Concession 2
City of Pickering
Attention Ross Pym
Dear Sir,
I
(
Thank you for your information on the above Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP-2003-04 and
Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 20/03.
Please be advised the undersigned are very much against the above Draft Plan and Zoning By-law
amendment application. .
Since the inception of the 407 the traffic on Brock Road has increased at a dramatic rate. If this project was
passed and town homes built it would be next to impossible to even get out of our driveway let alone on
Brock Road. Another fear is the general public will use Finch Avenue as a short cut to get to Brock Road.
This is exactly what happened before the closure of this road.
The present road condition of this part of Finch Avenue is in extremely poor shape and would not hold up
with trucks continuously carrying fill to this aæa.
If this area were developed we would be very pleased to have three or four large homes built on Finch
Avenue but definitely not town homes.
Thanking you for your consideration in this matter.
We would appreciate receiving all available information in connection with this Draft Plan and Zoning By-
law.

Attention: Ross Pym, Principal Planner - Development Review
Regarding: Draft Plan of Subdivision S-P-2003-04
Dear Mr. Pym,
My husband and I reside at 1766 Finch Avenue and have done so continuously since 1986. We
met with the developers at a planning session held for the area residents and wish to infonn you
that we are vehemently opposed to the development.
The development is being proposed to make the maximum amount of money on the most
minimum of space. The area has been kept "green" because development has been stayed for the
most part and all of the current residents work at maintaining a natural streets cape. The proposal
does not allow for any continuance of that principal but instead appears set to completely change
both the character and nature of our neighborhood.
There is no transition from large homes on premium lots to townhomes. We move abruptly from
our homes to the proposed development with no consideration gíven to currently owned
properties. The land will also have to be built up because land here is on a flood plain. What
assurance do any of us have that our "wet" basements will not be completely flooded once
drainage patterns are disrupted? What assurances do we have that Duffin's Creek will maintain
its current quality once it becomes a personal playground for over 136 households, many of whom
will not even have "postage stamp" size backyards.
Increased traffic is also a major concern as the proposed site includes two exits onto Finch
Avenue with a link to the larger development on Kingston Road. We guarantee that once
motorists are aware that the development may be accessed for conveyance to Brock Road, it will
not only be residents that will be traversing on Finch Avenue.
At the meeting the developers informed me that "Profit is not a dirty word". I agree, but an
obscene amount of profit at our expense and at the expense of a natural greenbelt certainly is.
Again, we intend to vigorously oppose this development with whatever means we have at our
disposal.
Yours truly,
Jerry and Nefer LePard

Further to our site visits the submission'ofrevised plans including engineering drawings and
landscape plans as provided In April 2004, supporting technical documents, a stormwater
management report and planting restoration details, TRCA staff provide the following
'comments.
The lands have been the subjectof review with the TRCA since the early 1990's. At that time the
TRCA agreed to the redevelopment of portions of the property within the Special Policy Area
but beyond the Environmentally Significant Area which extends onto the north portion of the
property. Our recent site walks have confirmed the extent of the vegetation community to be
protected and outlined the parameters for construction which have now been reflected on the
latest plans. The plans also outline a routing for a storm sewer outlet to the Duffins Creek that
considers the future development opportunities on adjacent lands and restricts the need to
have additional routes through the natural system and adjacent flood control berm. Given
these changes staff have no objections to the municipality draft plan approval subject to the
following conditions:
i.
Prior to the initiation of grading and pilar to the registration of this plan or any phase
thereof, that the owner shall'submit for the review and approval ofthe Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority, (TRCA), the following:
a detailed report that describes the storm drainage system for the proposed
development of the subject lands. This report should include:
plans illustrating how this drainage system will tie into surrounding
drainage systems, ie. Is it part of an overall drainage scheme? Howwill
external flows be accommodated? What is design capacity of the
receiving system?
stormwater management techniques which may be required to control
minor or major flows;
proposed methods for controlling or minimizing erosion and siltation 011-

Cross Ref: . A20/03. .
Applicant: Brookfield Homes (Ontario) Limited
Location: Part of Lot 17, Concession 2
Municipality: City of Pickering
The Region has reviewed the subject applications and the following.
comments are offered with respect to the Durham Regional Official Plan,
the proposed method of servicing, and the delegated provincial plan
review responsibilities. .
Re:
Durham Regional Official Plan
The proposed development lands are designated "Living Area" in the
Durham RègionalOfficial Plan. Lands within this designation are to be to'
be used predominantly for housing purposes and developed to
incorporate the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and
tenure. .
The subject lands are adjacent to Kingston Road, which is designated a
Type-Barterial road and a Regional TransitSpine. Intensive residential, .
office, shopping and mixed uses are to be located along this corridor in
conjunction with transit facilities. . The proposed residential development
should be designed to be transit supportive, provide internal and external
linkages for pedestrians and cyclists, and consider the Kingston Road
Corridor Urban Design Development Guidelines.
The Regional Plan also designates portions of the subject property as
"Major Open Space", with an indication of environmental sensitivity.
Lands within this designation are to be used for conservation, recreation,
and reforestation. When considering development applications within or

adjacent to lands designated "Environmentally Sensitive Area", an
environmental impact study is required to address the following:
a) , the location and nature of the development;
b) the mapping of the location and extent of the environmental
conditions, which may include rare and uncommon species of plants
and wildlife, high quality forests and streams;
c) the degree of sensitivity ofthe environmental conditions and an
evaluation of such conditions;
d) an åssessment of the potential cumulative impacts on the
environment; , "
e) the need for any mitigating measures to protect the environmentally
sensitive area and the surrounding. environment, and definitions of
such measures; and, '
-',
,f) any other matters deëmed necessary by Regional Council.
,An Environmental Report was prepared by Stantec Consulting Limited,
, dated AugUst 2003. It concluded that no significant wetlands, habitats of'
threatened or endang,ered species, fish habitat, significant valleylands, or
. , Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest were identified on, or in the
vicinity, of the subject lands. A portion of the Major Spinks ESAis ,
locá.ted in the northern pÖrtions of the subjectlands, considered to be a
significant 'woodland. The report also identified three locally rare plant
species.' ' , , '
Regional Services, ,
,Municipafwater supply is available tothe subject property from an .
existing 150 mm watermain on Finch Avenue. The applicant will be
, required to extend this watermain to provide water supply to the eastern
portion of the development. A connection to the existing 600 mri1
, feedermain will not be permitted. '
Sanitary sewer service is available from the existing 525 mm sanitary
sewer on Finch Avenue and I(jngstonHoad.
Transportation
The primary access to Kingston Road is proposed to be located
approximately 80 metres west of the Southview Drive/Kingston Road
intersection, which was determined through consultation with the Region.

Upon submission of detailed engineering drawings, the Region may
identify road improvements required to service the site. The full cost of
, all road improvements will be borne by the applicant. '
Provincial Interests and Deleqated Review Responsibilities
Thisapplicationhas been screened in accordance with the terms of the
provincial plan review responsibilities. '
. The subject lands' have been assessed as having a high '
archaeological potential. due to the, proximity of a tributary of the West
Duffins Creek. An.archaeological assessment is necessary., '
The proposal should implement the recommendations olthe ,
, EnvironmentaJ R~port prepared byStantec Consulting Limited and
demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Toronto and Region ' ,
' Conservation Authority that the proposal does not adversely impact
, the environmental featureS and functions of the West Duffins Creek'
. , '
and its associated floodplain, and the Major-Spinks ESA. ' '
. The subject lands are located in proximity to Kingston, Road, which' is
designated a Type;.B arterial road in the Durham 'Regional Official'
Plan. A Noise Report is required to address the impact of noise on
,the proposed residential development. , '
.'
" ,
. ,
. ,A Phase 1 EnvironmentalSite Assessmentwas prepared'by Bruce A.
BrownAssociates Limited for the subjecflands, The assessment ',' '
indicated that the west sideo.f the parcel 'does not require additional'
"analysis. ,The assessment concluded the site may hav~minor
impacts as a consequence of a former autQmobile service or " '
wreckers use and the presence of outdoor storage and maintenance
of heavy equipment and vehicles. There is also evidenceöf
maintenance activities from the repair shop, inCluding the changing of
oil and hydraulic fuels. The assessment recommended a program of
stripping of topsoil and surface soils impacted by surface '
accumulations of waste.' ,

Investigation, the locations must be indicated on the Servicing Plan.
8. Generally, the proposal is satisfactory providing all units are slab-en-grade.
Sump pumps will require a storm connection. Sump pumps discharging to the
ground are not acceptable.
9. Indicate rainwater leader locations for Blocks 2,5,6,8,9, and 14-19.
10. Provide cross-sections for both the outlet to the ESA and the outlet to the creek.

12. We have concern with the drainage from the interceptor swales being directed
onto Finch Avenue and Kingston Road. In the pre-development condition, all
drainage flows in a northeast direction.
13. There is insufficient lot drainage for Blocks 9, 10, 21 and 22. Also, the limited
number of catchbasins on the road does not provide enough detail for how the
road drainage is captured.
14. Details of rear lot drainage for Blocks 17 and 18 will be required.
15. Details of the retaining walls are required. All walls greater than 1.0m in height
will require a 1.2m high barrier.

Report Number: CS 23-04
Date: July 13, 2004
From:
Bruce Taylor, AMCT, CMM
City Clerk
Subject:
Vacancy in Office of Ward 2 Regional Councillor
Recommendation:
1.
That Report to Council CS 23-04 regarding the vacancy in the office of Ward 2
Regional Councillor be received;
2.
That pursuant to Section 262(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, the Council of the
Corporation of the City of Pickering hereby declares the office of Ward 2
Regional Councillor as vacant;
3.
That Council select one of the following options for filling the vacancy:
a)
That the by-law to appoint to fill the vacancy in the
office of Ward 2 Regional Councillor be read three times and enacted;
OR
-
b)
That the by-law to require a by-election to fill the vacancy in the office of
Ward 2 Regional Councillor be read three times and enacted; and,
4.
The appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be given authority to give effect
thereto.
Executive Summary:
Pursuant to the Municipal Act, 2001, due to the election of the incumbent as a member
of the Federal Parliament, Council must declare the office of Regional Councillor Ward
2 as vacant and consider its options to fill this vacancy through an appointment or a by-
election.
60
Report CS 23-04
July 13, 2004
Vacancy in Office of Ward 2 Regional Councillor
Page 2
Financial Implications:
If Council chooses to hold a by-election to fill the vacancy, the cost of a by-election will
be approximately $80,000.
The costs related to holding a by-election consists primarily of preparation of voters
lists, rental of equipment and staffing of polling stations.
If this option is selected, funds will need to be found elsewhere in the budget as this is
an unbudgeted item. The 2004 budget contains a transfer to the Contingency Reserve
in the amount of $90,000 for funding of the next municipal election in 2006. An annual
provision is included in each current budget year leading up to the next municipal
election for funding purposes. Council may authorize the redirection of these funds to
fund the by-election option. However if selected the provision included in the 2005 and
2006 Current Budgets would then need to be increased by 50 percent, to approximately
$135,000 in each of these years to allow adequate funding for the next municipal
election. The 2005 budgetary impact would be approximately .25% increase on the
City's tax levy.
Background:
As a result of Mark Holland becoming a Member of Parliament effective July 12, 2004,
the office of Regional Councillor Ward 2 has become vacant and pursuant to the
requirements of Section 262(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, Council must declare the
office to be vacant.
Once the vacancy has been declared, Council must fill the vacancy either by an
appointment or through a by-election. Pursuant to Section 263(5) of the Act, Council
has 60 days to either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a
by-election.
Therefore, with respect to timing, Council is required to make the appointment or pass
the by-law requiring a by-election at its meeting of July 26th at the earliest or at a Special
Meeting on Friday, September 24th at the latest.
The only requirements in the Municipal Act, 2001, respecting an appointment is that the
person who is appointed consents to accept the office if appointed and the appointee
must be a qualified voter anywhere in the City of Pickering.
If Council chooses to pass a by-law to require a by-election, pursuant to Section 65(4)
of the Municipal Election Act, 1996, the Clerk shall fix the date of Nomination Day to be
a day not more than 60 days after the passage of the by-law and Voting Day shall be 45
days after Nomination Day.

Vacancy in Office of Ward 2 Regional Councillor
Page 3
Therefore, if Council ~asses a by-law to require a by-election, it should do so either at
its meeting of July 26 h or at a Special Meeting called on or before Monday, August 16th
in order to hold the by-election in November or very early December and avoid having
an election during the holiday period.
If an existing Member of Council is either appointed or elected to fill the vacancy, then
the process noted above will be started over again. If Council chooses to appoint an
existing Member of Council to fill the vacancy at its meeting of July 26th, then Council
may want to consider holding a Special Meeting on or before Monday, August 16th in
order to declare the second office vacant and to keep its options open if it chooses to
pass a by-law to require a by-election sometime in November or very early December.
