(b)
That the request of R. Hinchliffe to change the name of a portion of Old Brock
Road to Jenash Court be refused.
Executive Summary: In 1986, Ronald Hinchliffe obtained consent for the
development of five (5) lots fronting Old Brock Road in Claremont. One of the
conditions of that severance was that he enter into an appropriate Development
Agreement with the City respecting the upgrading, to municipal standards, of the portion
of Old Brock Road fronting the newly created lots.
Upon completing the road, R. Hinchliffe requested that the City initiate the process to
change the name of that portion of Old Brock Road to Jenash Court (which name
reflects a combination of his daughters' names Jennifer and Ashley) and while there is
evidence in City records that his request was received, the matter has never been
considered by Council.
R. Hinchliffe has recently contacted the City to request that this matter be pursued.
Accordingly, staff is seeking direction from Council as t° whether to proceed with this
matter.

five lots fronting Old Brock Road in Claremont. One of the conditions of that severance
was that he enter into an appropriate Development Agreement with the City respecting
the upgrading, to municipal standards, of the portion of Old Brock Road fronting the
newly created lots.
Upon completing the road, R. Hinchliffe requested that the City initiate the process to
change the name of that portion of Old Brock Road to Jenash Court (which name
reflects a combination of his daughters' names, Jennifer and Ashley) and while there is
evidence in City records that his request was received, the matter has never been
considered by Council.
R. Hinchliffe has once again contacted the City requesting that this matter be pursued.
His request has been circulated internally and to the Region and while there were no
objections to the concept of changing the name, it was noted that the City's present
practice does not support the use of 'proper names' for streets, unless they are of
demonstrated historical significance.
Should Council wish to 'further pursue renaming this portion of Old Brock Road to
Jenash Court, staff would then contact the five residents affected by the name change
advising them of the City's potential intent to enact a by-law to rename the road fronting
their property to Jenash Court (see Attachment #1 - Location Map). That
correspondence would also advise each resident that the City would contribute up to
$100.00 toward any expenses they may incur due to their municipal address changing
(i.e. new home numbers, changing information on personal documentation, driver's
licence, etc.). Staff would report back to Council with the results of our resident contact
and seek direction respecting the enactment of the necessary by-law to formally change
the name of this portion of Old Brock Road to Jenash Court.
It should also be noted that in order to finalize this matter, a reference plan will be
required to legally describe the boundaries of the portion of road that will be subject of
the name change and new signage will be required once the name change by-law has
been registered. The cost for preparation and registration of the reference plan is
approximately $2,000.00. Other costs to implement the street name change are
estimated at $800.00, which includes the new street name signage and address
change expenses incurred by residents. This brings the total costs for this initiative to
the City of approximately $2,800.00.
Accordingly, staff is seeking direction as to whether or not Council wishes to pursue
changing the name of the portion of Old Brock Road identified on the location map
attached hereto. Should Council concur, staff is requesting that Council pass a
Resolution authorizing the Director, Planning & Development to commence preliminary
initiatives to have the subject portion of Old Brock Road renamed to Jenash Court and
to report back to Council following contact with affected residents.

Preliminary Initiative for Street Name Change
Old. Brock Road to Jenash Court
City of Pickering
In 1986/1987 the road fronting your property was constructed to municipal standards
pursuant to a Development Agreement between the City of Pickering and Ron Hinchliffe.
Shortly thereafter, there was a request made of the City to rename the newly
constructed portion of Old Brock Road to Jenash Court and while the concept of this
name change has been contemplated throughout the years, the request has never
formally been dealt with.
On May 24, 2005, this matter was brought before City Council for consideration. At that
meeting staff was directed to:
(a) commence preliminary initiatives to change the name of the portion of Old Brock
Road fronting your property to Jenash Court; and
(b) report back to them following contact with the residents.
Accordingly, we are asking that you advise us of your position in this matter by filling out
the attached form and returning it to us, in the envelope provided, on or before July 4,
2005.

June 17,2005

Should there be no objection to the City changing the name of the portion of Old Brock
Road fronting your property to Jenash CoUrt, the City will:
(a) proceed with the appropriate name change By-law being enacted and registered;
(b) install new street signage; and
(c) advise Fire, Police and Ambulance of this name change.
Your new address would be 4830 Jenash Court.
Further, the City is aware that certain personal documentation may have to be changed
to reflect your new address. The City is prepared to reimburse you for any reasonable
expenses you may incur as a result of this name change, up to a maximum of $100.00,
upon your submission of related receipts.
Should you have any questions or require any further clarification respecting this matter,
please feel free to contact the undersigned.

Re: Proposed renaming of southerly dead-end portion of Old Brock Rd.
Dear Ms. Bye:
My wife and I object to the City's proposal as presented. We offer the following
comments and suggestions in response to your correspondence dated June 17, 2005:
We believe the name "Jenash Court" (the proposed street name), is a derivative of
the names of a couple of the developer's family members (Jennifer and Ashley).
The developer sold all of his interests on this street back in the late 1980's. At
this point, the suggested name has no relevance to any current property owner. A
more neutral name, in keeping with the natural surroundings and character of the
street and the community in general would be more appropriate, several suggested
alternatives being: Willow Court, Arbour Court or Moraine Court.
Since this portion of roadway is in fact the original Old Brock Rd. (pre-dating the
Claremont by-pass and the current south entrance into Claremont, a number of
residents along this portion of roadway continue to receive their mail via Rural
Route 5, Canada Post mailbox delivery service. It is imperative that the City
ensure that any renaming of the road does not disqualify the rural route mailbox
delivery privileges currently enjoyed by these residents. The mailboxes in
question are located at the southeast comer of Old Brock Rd. and Old Brock Rd.
(the currently posted street signage).
If the above concerns cannot be satisfied, then we would respectfully suggest that
the newer portion of roadway (connecting the Claremont by-pass to the original
Old Brock Rd., be the section of roadway that is renamed.
Regards, 2 ~_ ./? /
