The Municipality of Trent Hills joined with them at that time to pressure the Provincial Govemment to make changes to a system that was literally driving people from their homes. As many of you know, CAFTA has now joined with the Canadian National Taxpayers Coalition to form an even stronger alliance. This alliance is vital as we all know there is much work left to be done. We must build on the efforts of Ombudsman Marin to bring transparency and equity back into our system of property taxation. As we enter into an election period it is imperative that we do not allow ourselves to be lulled to sleep by an assessment freeze that will only serve to delay the inevitable pain that will come with the next reassessment. It is more importarrt than ever that we support the efforts of CAFTA/CNTC and continue pressuring our Provincial representatives to fix the assessment system once and for all. I encourage you and your Council to check out the latest activities of CAFTA/GNTC at their website, www.cntccanada.ca, or telephoneJfax 705 69G- 2356 and to do whatever you can to support their efforts.

These chemicals, long used as flame retardants in furniture, textiles, television sets and more, have been found in accumulating amounts in fish, food, household dust, and in human breast milk. A growing number of leaders in the scientific community are confirming the risks and harm to the human reproductive and nervous systems related to prolonged exposure to PBDEs. Infants, children, breastfeeding mothers as well as workers in the information technology, textile and furniture manufacturing fields are particularly at risk. PBDE levels are also growing very quickly in Canada's coastal marine waters; they are expected to surpass PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) as the leading contaminant in endangered southern resident killer whales by 2020. While PBDEs have been classified as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act since December of 2006, the federal government has only created regulations banning the two less commonly used PBDEs: penta�DE and octaBDE. ihe iiiird �ype, decaBDE, is the one most widely used in the manufacturing of household electronics, furniture, and textiles.

I am pleased to report that the Canadian division of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) is in full support of the motion. Attached to this letter is a copy of a letter my office recently received from them regarding this issue. I have also attached a list of over 20 municipalities throughout British Columbia that have come out in full support of Motion M-38. In order to be successful in passing this motion through Parliament, I am going to need your help. If you support restrictions on PBDE production and importation, I am asking you to support my motion. Thank you very much for your time.

The International Association of Fire Fighters, headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario and VVashington, DC, represents more than 28U,000 full-tiine professional fire fighters across Noi•th America, including 20,000 in Canada. Our union is concerned about health and safety of our metnbers as well as the health and safety of all citizens. Accordingly, the IAFF believes that the passage of legislation bannin� brominated flame retlydants, including Penta-, Octa-, and Deca-BDEs), is a step in the right direction for im�coving thc health anc� safety ofi our tire tighters and the citizens we are sworn to protect. One of the primat-y applications of PBDEs is as a flaine i-etardant applied inside or c�nto many comman housellold goods (fiirniture foam; plastic cabinets; computers and sn�all . ��ppliancc; consumer electronics; wire insulation; and back coatings for draperies and upholstery) to reduce and retard the amount af flame spread. While these cherniczls inhibit the foc-mation and s}�read of flames, they do not completely prevent fires. Un:likc othec flame retardants, when PBD�s burn they release dense fumes and black smake that reduce visibility and a higlily coirosive gas known as hydrogen bromide. In additian, PBDEs prnduce highly toxic by}�roducts of incomplete combustion. Although use c�f tlame retardants saves lives and property, there have been unintended consequences. There is evidence that PBDEs persist in the environment and accumulate in living ocganisms, �s well as toxicolobical testing that indicates these chemicals may cause li<<er toxicity, thyroid toxicity, and neurodevelo}�mental toxicity. ,�_> A�•-��n.i:��•�:n ��•rri►: A111:H(�.\N Pl;:i�t�:r,,�•rio` oi� I..:�i;��r ��r> Cuxeiir•:�, or• I�u�.�riu,�i.. Oac:��z;��rici�s • Cn�aui:a� l,v:oin: Cc��cri:;s 39 Many studies involving fire fighters exposed to these and other toxic gases durin� active tire iighting, overhaul, and long term exposure from these chemicals penetrating protective gear, have founcl that iire fighters have a much �*reater risk of contracting cancer, l�eart and lung disease, and other debilitating diseases. While we support the concept of tlame retardant chemicals, there are alternatives thlt do not contain bromine or c111orine and are much safer for fire fighters anci the public than PBDEs. The tAFF salutes those companies that have stopped using brominated flame retardants (such as Dell, Hewlett-Pack�rd and Ikea) and are now using safer alternativc tire retardants. Tllese companies demonstrate that alternative flame-retardant technolo�ies fi�r achieving tire safety standards do exist and are readily available for other manufacturcd products. For fhese relsoi�s, the; Intei7�ational Association of Fire Fighters fully sup��orts your initiltive in motion M-38 to com�letely phase out the production and import of items containing PBDEs in Canada.

The upgrading of Fairport Road and Strouds Lane to full urban standards, and the presence of a large number of deep lots has resulted in opportunities for infill development within this area. To ensure development occurs in a manner that is appealing, orderly, and consistent with the character of the neighbourhood, new development proposals must comply with the development and design guidelines described in the accompanying chart, and must be generally consistent with the attached Neighbourhood Concept Plan. On September 15, 200.3, Pickering Council further revised the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Deve%pment Guidelines by de%ting the walkway symbol shown on the east side of Appleview Road immediately north of the Dunbarton Creek from the Neighbourhood Concept Plan. #3 � INFORMATION REP�T# � � O '� , . . � v, � � � ° cfl = o o " � � � � ��~ ^ c co m � � 3 �°-� c�� •� �.� � 3 � � 3 o s� �a°io � -�. ,.X � � �+'i C�0 � � c�e � �• p �. �:'� �.

Syed Architect for Ansar Medical Services Inc., dated December 31; 2005; • Drawing Na A2, titled Site Plan, prepared by Khalil U. Syed Architect for Ansar Medical Services Inc., dated December 27, 2005. Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff offers the following comments. Back�round The subject properties are located at 2177 and 2185 Brock Road, on the east side of Brock Road, north of Finch Avenue, in the City of Pickering. It is our understanding that the appiicant wishes to rezone the subject lands from the current Agricultural (A) Zone to an appropxiate zone that would permit the proposed development containing residential, commercial and instifutional uses. No reports or studies have been submitted in support of this application. Currently, the subject properties maintain low-density residential development (3 structures in total) that immediately front onto Brock Road. Existing Regulatory Framework: Ontario Regulation 158 The subject properties maintain a tributary of the Duffins Creek and are presently partially located within the Fill Regulated Area and Regional Storm Floodplain of the Duffins Creek Watershed, in accordance with Ontario Regulation 158 (Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways). Therefore, an Ontario Regulation 158 permit is required from the TRCA prior to any of the following works taking place on the subject properties: F:\Hame\Public\Development Services\Durham Region\Pickering\A35-06 2177&2185BrockRd CofP 04-04-06_1.wPd _, , ,�� ' S Shoreham Drive, Downsview, Ontario M3N 154 (416) 661-6600 FAX 661-6898 www.trca.on.ca =�_ A�r��H�a��#�� iNFO�r�� r# i — �7 71 Ross Pym - 2- Aprii 4, 2006 a) construct any building or structure or permit any building or structure to be constructed in a pond or swamp or in any area susceptible to flooding during a regional storm; b) place or dump fill or permit fill to be placed or dumped in the areas described in the schedules whether such fill is already located in or upon such area, or brought to or on such area from some other place or places c) straighten, change; divert or interfere in any way with the existing channel of a river, creek, stream or watercourse. Future Regulatory Frame�work (as of May 1, 2006): Ontario Regulation 97/04 Please note that the subject properties will be partially located within TRCA's updated regulated area, which comes into effect as of May 151, 2006. This regulatory update to Ontario Regulation 158 is referred to as Ontario Regulation 97/04 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses). When this updated regulation comes into effect on May 1 St, 2006, any `development', which is defined as any of the following works listed below, would require the approval and issuance of a permit under Ontario Regulation 97/04. Development is defined as � Construction & reconstruction • Erection or placing of a building • Any change to a building or structure that has the effect of • Changing its use • Increasing its size • Increasing the number of dwelling units • _ Site grading . • Placing of or removal of fill Therefore, as of May 1 S`, 2006, the applicant must apply for and obtain a permit under Ontario Regulation 97/04 for any development, within the regulated area, prior to the issuance of a munieipal building �ermit for the proposed aeveiopment on ine subject proper�ies. Valley and Strearn Corridor Management Program Policies (VSCMP) In addition to regulation, the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) sets out development guidelines for properties influenced by stream and valley corridors. The overall objective of the VSCMP policies is to prevent new development from occurring within areas that may introduce risk to life and property associated with flooding; erosion, and slope stability, or that is not compatible with the protection of these areas in their natural state. As aforementioned, there is a tributary on the subject lands of the Duffins Creek as well as a defined top of bank. VSCMP policies define stream corridor boundaries as follows: when the upstream drainage area is greater than 125 hectares, a minimum of 10 metres inland from the Regulatory Floodplain is required; OR when the upstream drainage is less than 125 hectares, a minimum of 10 metres inland from the predicted meander belf of the watercourse, expanded as required to convey the major stream flows and to maintain stream F:\Home\Public�Development Services\Durham Region\PickeringW35-05 2177&21856rockRd CofP 04-04-06_i .wpd ��r�c�a�Enrr# 3 �o . � 2 INFOI�MAT�C�tJ Ft1'# —07 Ross Pym - 3- Apri14, 2006 riparian stream functions. Additionally, VSCMP policies define the top of bank for valiey corridors as a minimum 10 metres from the top of bank of a stable slope; OR if the valley slope is not stable, a minimum of ten metres inland from the predicted long term stable slope. Furthermore, where a Significant Area' is immediately adjacent to a stream or valley corridor, the corridor boundary is extended to include the Significant Area and a minimum 10 metres inland. Please note that no development is permitted within valley and stream corridors and their associated floodplains. The Major-Spink Area, Environmenfally Sensitive Area No. 97 Please note that the port;ons of the subject properties are identified as an Environmentalfy Sensitive Area (ESA No. 97). ESA No. 97 is commonly referred to as The Major-Spink Area, located adjacent to Duffins Creek. An environmental assessment of ESA No. 97 determined that The Major-Spink Area supports 15 different plant communities, which is an unusually high diversity for this relatively high area as well as 23 tree species, evidence of 41 bird species during breeding season, and use of Red Fox, Coyote, and Great-Horned Owl. As stated in Section 2.1:4 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) 2005 no development or site alteration is permitted within significant woodlands, significant valleylands, and significant wildlife habitat. In accordance with the environmental assessment of ESA No. 97 and the PPS (2005), the City of Pickering's Duffins Precinct Tertiary Plan, delineated on Figure A of the City of Pickering's Official Plan, also identifies and designates these portions of the subject properties as Major Spink ESA, within which no development is permitted. Site-Specific Commenfs Please note that a site visit was conducted fo the subject property on April 18, 2005 with TRCA staff, City of Pickering staff, and representatives of the landowners in order to discuss the : �proposed development for the subject property. At that time, it was determined that there is a defined top of bank on the southeast side of the site and a draw feature in the middle of the properties that connects to a wetland at the toe of slope. . As indicted on the above-referenced drawings, the applicant is proposing a revised road connection for this area than what is indicted in the Duffins Precinct Plan, in order to � accommodate the proposed development. Based on our review, TRCA staff note the road alignment proposed on the drawings is located immediately at the physical top of bank on the properties. Furthermore, upon review of the subject properties and in light of the Duffins Precinct Plan, TRCA staff requested on April 18, 2005 that the Stormwater Management (SVUM) Pond, proposed for the properties immediately north, be constructed on the subject properties, within the draw feature, rather than where it is currently proposed in the Plan. TRCA staff recommend this revised location of the SWM Pond to service the general Duffins Precinct Area, � Significanf Areas are defined as those areas that have been identified, or exhibit characteristics, as Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA's), Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI), or as Class 1-7 Wetland. F:\Home\Public\Development Services\Durham Region\Pickering\A35-05 2177&2185BrockRd CofP 04-04-06_1.wpd �-r�a��NT#�To wFC��s��►�a� �o�#� 73 Ross Pym - 4- April 4, 2006 on the basis that it is our understanding that the location of the proposed SWM Ponds in the Duffins Precinct Area is conceptual only. Further discussion regarding the ultimate location of the SWM Pond and the road alignment with municipal and TRCA staff is required. TRCA staff did not stake the long-term stable top of bank or the draw feature on the April 18, 2005 site visit because it was considered premature until such time as the location of the SWM Pond, the realignment of the road and the protection of the draw feature are determined. Recommendafions In light of the above, TRC.A staff consider the proposed zoning by-law amendment appli�aiion to be premature at this time. Additionally, TRCA staff recommend the following issues to be addressed; to in order to facilitate any proposed development on site: 1. 2. 3. 4. That the applicant transfer the rear portion of the subjecf lands (lands within the regulatory floodplain, located�in the eastern portion of the properties) into public trust or rezone them as Open Space; That the applicant remit a SWM Report in support of the proposed development for review and approval to the TRCA; After addressing the issues regarding the proposed road alignment and the location of the SWM Pond with City staff, TRCA staff request that the applicant contact the TRCA in order to conduct a second site visit to the subject properties to stake the limit of the natural features on site; That the applicant apply for and obtain a permit from the TRCA, prior to,the issuance of municipal building permit. We trust these comments are of assistance. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned. �lanner C.C. Khalil U. Syed Architect c/o Ansar Medical Services Inc.

No primary information on flora and fauna are ^r�� :�;rte:�, nor ar�� seccndary data presented, despite data from 2003 being available from TRCA. There is v;:�y limit�d discussion about the ESA or its sensitivities. The only information that is provided are ELC ::�ta fer the subject lands and the immediately adjacent areas, and the report makes no attempt to assess irnp�-.cts from the proposed development on the adjacent ESA.

During the detailed review of development applicafions, any concerns with slope stability and/or additional ecological buffer requirements may result in a revised development limit." Ther� is a very brief discussion around impacts on the adjacent valleylands, such as vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and it is stated that these impacts would be minor in nature. However, we are uncertain how the EIS can conclude that impacts will be minor without presenting what the proposed development limit, uses, and mitigation will be. In addition, noise and lighting impacts are not mentioned. Another major component that is absent is the discussion around the maintenance of groundwater contributions to the wetland and aquatic habitats of the valley. A water balance analysis needs to be completed. The EIS contends that the draw feature that bisects the eastern portion of the property has no �:.inc�ion whatsoever, despite the fact that there are forget-me-nots (groundwater indicators) in the draw. i herefcre, while it is argued that the draw has "no aquatic habitat functions," perhaps this is true only of Cirect habitat, but the feature likely provides indirect habitat contributions through groundwater inputs and �!�tritus/im�eriebrate productiG`n, Th?

Drawing No. T-1 illustrates that the draw is proposed to be cut off and that the floodline extends beyond the "approved" top of bank line and the "10 m structural setback" coincident with thE te�p oF bank line. None of these lines have been formalized by TRCA and a survey prepared by an OLS has not been provided. Athough the top of bank line iilustrated on Drawing No. T-1 appears reasonable, there has been no confirmation of its location relative to an actual survey of the site or the Duffins Precinct area. In addition, the EMSP provides that a"...minimum 10.0-metre ecological buffer a;ony the established top-of-bank and ESA boundary, as well as a structural setback brom fhe buffer..." is required (pg. 5). �tormwater Management / Servicing i"he applicant has not provided any discussion of how the site will tie into existing or proposed servicing, or how ±he design will meet SWM quality or quantity requirements. ,�?�cc�mmendation 1r: !in7t of the above, we are of the opinion that the application is premature.

Georgieff, MCIP, RPP Commissioner of Planning "Service Excellence !o� �,u�� Convnunrties" This application has been reviewed and the following comments are offered. The purpose of this application is to amend the zoning of the subject property to permit development containing residential, commercial and institutional uses. Reqional Official Plan The lands subject to this application are designated "Living Area" and "Major Open Space" in the Durham Regional Official Plan. Living Areas are to be used predominantly for housing purposes. Limited office development and limited retailing of goods and services, in appropriate locations, as components of mixed use developments may be permitted within Living Areas provided that the functions and characteristics of Central Areas are not adversely affected. The predominant use of lands in the "Major Open Space System" shall be conservation, recreation, reforestation and agriculture and farm-related uses, In the consideration of development applications in Living Areas, regard is to be had for the following: • achieve a compact urban form, including intensive residential, office, retail and service and mixed uses along arterial roads and in conjunction with present and potential transit facilities; • the use of good urban design principles; • the provision of convenient pedestrian access to public transit, educational facilities and parks; • the types and capacities of the existing municipal services, infrastructure and the feasibility of expansion; and • the balance between energy efficiency and cost. Provincial Policies & Deleqated Review Responsibilities This application has been screened in accordance with the terms of the provincial plan review responsibilities. As the subject property is adjacent to Regional Road 1, Brock �Tr��Nr# � To ��v��T�o��# ot�_o Page 2 Road, and proposing sensitive land uses, a noise study is required to identify any potential impacts on the proposal, including noise mitigation and warning clauses. The study may be submitted to this department for review. As a creek flows through and is adjacent to the subject property, comments from the Central Lake Ontario Conservation authority are required to ensure that a sufficient setback has been given to protect the watercourse from adverse impact from development. Rectional Services Municipal water supply is available to the subject property from an existing 300 mm watermain on Brock Road. Sanitary sewer se►vices are not currently available to the subject property. The extension of sanitary sewer services is dependent on the development of lands to the south and the construction of a future collector road as identified in Schedule II of the Pickering Official Plan. A detailed site servicing plan demonstrating how the subject property intends to be serviced will be required for review by the Regional Works Department Transnortation and Access Brock Road is designated as a Type "A" Arterial Road in the Durham Regional Official Plan. A minimum road width of 22.5 metres from the centerline of Brock Road to the applicant's property is required. The proposed access to Brock Road will require a right turn lane with an 8 metre throat width and a 10 metre turning radii. Brock Road is tentatively scheduled for reconstruction between 2013 and 2021 where it will be widened to 6 lanes. Part of the reconstruction may require a raised centre median to restrict traffic to right-in / right-out movement only. A detailed site plan drawing will be required for review be the Regional Works Department. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. �f �� i '----..

The road alignment proposed at the most easterly limit of the developable area would require extensive review to determine alignment implications on adjacent lands, and studies to determine slope stability within that proximity to the floodline. Servicing constraints may be identified if the road grade is proposed lower due to this location. Stormwater management would need to be addressed. Although interim on-site measures may be possible the outlet, temporary and permanent would need to be determined. Future cost sharing for the S.W.M pond and road construction would be required if this proposal was permitted to proceed. A grading and drainage plan should be provided that would reflect proposed finished grade in comparison to existing adjacent lands to address any affects or constraints. The drainage ditch in the area of the north property limit will also need attention. Direct access to buildings A, B and C appear to be from Brock Road; however, the access to the townhouses would be from a future road. This would make the townhouses a future phase of the development unless all servicing is predetermined and installed and the road completed to full municipal standard so that future connections to either end could be done without restricting access. This road would not be maintained by the City until it connects to an existing municipally maintained road. Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 35/05A��C��ENT# �O TO April 12, 2006 �r�FC�A�� -��.

JUNE 8. 2007. • , REPORT TO ��i�� PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT ' ' COMMITTEE �� I I Report Number: PD 23-07 Date: July 23, 2007 From: Neil Carroll Director, Planning & Development SUBJECT: Draft Plan of Subdivision S-P-2005-03 Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 34/05 Altridge Properties Inc. 1482 — 1484 Altona Road & 1490 —1498 Altona Road Part of Lot 33, B.F.0 Range 3, (40R-9096, Part 5& 40M-1515, Blocks 85 & 86) Part of Lot 33, B.F.0 Range 3, (40R-5045, Part 1) City of Pickering Recommendation: That Draft Plan of Subdivision S-P-2005-03 and Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 34/05 submitted by Altridge Properties Inc., on lands being Part of Lot 33, B.F.0 Range 3(40R-9096, Part 5& 40M-1515, Blocks 85 & 86), Part of Lot 33, B.F.0 Range 3(40R-5045, Part 1), City of Pickering, to permit the development of 10 lots for detached dwelling units, be refused. Executive Summary: The applicant proposes to develop a draft plan of subdivision at the southwest corner of Altona Road and Twyn Rivers Drive, consisting of 10 residential lots for detached dwellings, fronting onto a new internal public road. Access to the site is proposed from Altona Road. The draft plan of subdivision incorporates a block of City-owned land along the western side of the site, which was conveyed to the City for future road purposes through a previous draft plan of subdivision. Richardson Street was constructed with a temporary turning circle to allow for its future extension into the subject site. Development of the site as proposed by the applicant would create an isolated pocket of residential lots that does not provide cohesive development with the existing residential neighbourhood. The proposed access onto Altona Road is not appropriate as the site can be accessed through the extension of Richardson Street. Further, approval of the proposed access onto Altona Road may prejudice future redevelopment opportunities for the lots opposite this property, on the east side of Altona Road. Report PD 23-07 Subject: Altridge Properties Inc. (S-P-2005-03, A 34/05) Date: July 23, 2007 Page i2t 9 � More appropriate alternative design options are available for the site. Development of this site would be best suited at a time when comprehensive development involving the adjacent property to the south can be achieved. It is recommended that proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment Application be refused, as the proposal is considered premature and does not provide for appropriate development of the site. Financial Implications: None with refusal recommendation. Sustainability Implications: The development proposal is an infill project that would utilize existing infrastructure. However, the proposed access to the site from Altona Road does not represent a sustainable approach for the development of the subject lands as the proposal creates an isolated development that does not provide appropriate connections or integration to the existing neighbourhood. Background: 1.0 Introduction Altridge Properties Inc., has submitted applications for approval of a draft plan of subdivision and an amendment to the zoning by-law in order to create 10 lots for detached dwellings on lands located at the southwest corner of Twyn Rivers Drive and Altona Road (see Location Map, Attachment #1). Access to the development is proposed from Altona Road. All 10 lots would front onto a new public road and are oriented to face Altona Road (see Applicant's Revised Road Pattern, Attachment #4). The proposed lots would have minimum lot frontages ranging from approximately 11.0 metres to 17.2 metres and minimum lot areas ranging from 408 square metres to 561 square metres. The subject lands are designated "Urban Residential Area — Low Density Area" within the Rougemount Neighbourhood in the Pickering O�cial Plan. This designation permits residential development at a density of up to and including 30 dwellings per net hectare. The proposal is consistent with this designation at 13.3 units per net hectare. At the Statutory Information Meeting held in April 2006, a request was made by area residents that an additional Information Meeting be held should the applicant revise the proposal. Although staff worked with the applicant following the Information Meeting in an attempt to achieve a mutually acceptable development plan, agreement has not been achieved and the applicant wishes to pursue their original submission. Consequently a second Information Meeting has not been held. Residents who commented on the application have been notified of this meeting, to consider the application as initially submitted. Report PD 23-07 Date: July 23, 2007 Subject: Altridge Properties Inc. (S-P-2005-03, A 34/05) Page 3 - 2.0 Comments Received 2.1 At the April 20, 2006 Public Information Meeting Twelve area residents appeared at the Public Information Meeting to voice their comments respecting the application. They raised concerns regarding: traffic problems on Altona Road due to the proposed access; safety for school children in the area; compatibility of the proposed lot sizes with existing development; grading and drainage issues; and declining property values (see text of Information Report and Meeting Minutes, Attachments #9 &#10). 2.2 Written Public Submissions on the application Three written submissions were received from area residents. The concerns identified in the correspondence related to: lotting pattern; decrease in property value; walkway connections for school children; unsafe access to the development from Altona Road and traffic congestion; grading and drainage, and existing flooding in backyards (see Attachments #11, #12 &#13). 2.3 City Department and Agency Comments Development Control - access to Altona Road should not be permitted and development of the lands should only occur as part of the extension of Richardson Street; - the extension of Richardson Street would provide a better connection to the abutting school as the existing sidewalk on the north side of Richardson Street could connect directly to the sidewalk on the west side of the cul-de-sac, and would also provide a direct connection to the existing walkway on the south side of Richardson Street; - various additional technical comments are also provided (see Attachment #14); Region of Durham - the proposal is permitted by the policies of the Planning Department Durham Region Official Plan and is consistent with Community Strategic Plan Actions; - municipal water supply and sanitary sewer services are available to the subject property; - as the site is adjacent to Altona Road and Twyn Rivers Drive, a noise study is required to identify any potential impacts as well as any noise mitigation and warning clauses (see Attachment #15); Canadian National - warning clauses are required within the subdivision Railway agreement and any agreements of purchase and sale for the proposed lots; - a noise and vibration study should be conducted (see Attachment #16); Report PD 23-07 Subject: Altridge Properties Inc. (S-P-2005-03, A 34/05) 3.0 3.1 Date: July 23, 2007 Pagl�i� 9 3 Region of Durham - right-of-way dedications and a sight triangle must be Works Department conveyed to the Region; - submission of a detailed design for the intersection of Altona Road and the proposed internal road is required prior to the Region providing favourable comments on the proposed development (see Attachment #17); Durham Student - the school board would like to pursue a sidewalk Transportation Services (walkway) connection from Richardson Street to St. Monica's Catholic School; - this request has now been brought forward as the walking area to the school has been amended, meaning more students could use the pathway to get to the school site (see Attachment #18); Toronto and Region - no objection (see Attachment #19); Conservation Authority Durham Catholic District - no objection (see Attachment #20). School Board No other agency that provided comment has objection to the application. Discussion Background - A portion of the lands subject to this application are City-owned and intended for road purposes The conceptual road pattern for this neighbourhood originally included the extension of Fawndale Road north to connect with Richardson Street, and the northward extension of Richardson Street to a cul-de-sac (see Conceptual Road Development Plan (1986), Attachment #2). However, through Council's approval of Draft Plan of Subdivision 18T-84005 in 1986, this connection was removed and replaced with a walkway connection from Fawndale Road to Richardson Street. The block of City-owned land within this application (see Applicant's Submitted Plan, Attachment #3) comprises approximately 0.14 hectares and was conveyed to the City for future road purposes as a condition of approval of Draft Plan 18T-84005 (which developed this general area). This land provides for the northward extension of Richardson Street as originally anticipated and approved by Council. Richardson Street was constructed with a temporary turning circle at its terminus to allow for the future extension of the street northward into the subject property to end in a permanent cul-de-sac. The applicant has not acquired the City-owned lands, but has included them in their application knowing that Council's approval for the disposal of these lands would be required. Report PD 23-07 Date: July 23, 2007 Subject: Altridge Properties Inc. (S-P-2005-03, A 34/05) Page 5 3.2 �Access to the site from Altona Road for this development proposal is not supported Altona Road is designated as a Type 8 Arterial Road in the Region's and City's Official Plans. Type 8 Arterial Roads are designed to carry moderate volumes of traffic at moderate speeds and have some access restrictions. The Environmental Assessment currently underway for Altona Road proposes a four or five lane cross-section along this portion of the road. The Region of Durham Works Department advise that they are unable to provide favourable comments on the proposed access from Altona Road at this time. Detailed design drawings for the intersection of the new internal road and Altona Road are required to ensure the proposed intersection provides safe vehicle movements in and out of the site. Area residents have expressed concern regarding the safe functioning of the site and the possible traffic impacts of the proposed access from Altona Road. Vehicular and pedestrian connectivity within this neighbourhood are important. The proposed access from Altona Road would create an isolated development that is separated from the existing residential development to the southwest and the abutting school property. A walkway connection is proposed through the applicant's proposat to provide a pedestrian connection to Richardson Street and St. Monica's Catholic School, however this connection would not provide the same benefits as having a direct road and sidewalk connection to the surrounding neighbourhood. Residents on the east side of Altona Road, south of Sheppard Avenue, have previously expressed an interest in developing the rear portions of their properties by way of a new internal public or private road with direct access from Altona Road. Planning staff have been verbally advised by the Region of Durham Works Department that only one access point onto Altona Road would be permitted in this area. The proposed access on the west side of Altona Road for this development proposal could jeopardize any future development potential for the properties on the east side of Altona Road. The subject site has an alternate access route by way of Richardson Street, whereas alternate access to the properties on the east side of Altona Road is very unlikely. 3.3 The site has alternative development potential and staff are willing to work with the applicant if an acceptable alternative design is achieved or an alternate use is proposed. Planning & Development staff have prepared three examples of alternative development options for this site, and will continue to explore these alternatives with the applicant if they so desire. Report PD 23-07 Date: July 23, 2007 Subject: Altridge Properties Inc. (S-P-2005-03, A 34/05) Page 6• 95 Staff Aiternative Option 1— Connect Richardson Street northward to a cul-de-sac as originallv anticipated throuqh previous approval of the abutting development The extension of Richardson Street on lands already secured for future road purposes creates direct vehicular and pedestrian connections to the existing neighbourhood (see Staff's Alternative Design — Option 1, Attachment #5). This design would maintain a cohesive neighbourhood and would be an integral part of completing the neighbourhood. A sidewalk connection to the abutting school site could be provided through this design as the existing sidewalk on the north side of Richardson Street could connect directly to a sidewalk on the west side of the cul-de-sac extension. The sidewalk would provide a safe and secure connection for school children walking to the school, and the design of the development would provide more eyes on the street and the school site. A direct connection to the existing walkway between Littleford Street and Richardson Street could also be achieved. This design also provides for efficient garbage pick-up and snow removal. Although this design would result in the development of lots backing onto Altona Road and Twyn Rivers Drive, with rear yard fencing (noise fencing) along the rear lot lines, this is similar to the existing development along Altona Road to the south, as reverse lot frontages were implemented through the design of many developments in this neighbourhood. In order to provide a minimum road allowance 16.5 metres, with a minimum pavement width of 8.5 metres, for the northward extension of Richardson Street, additional land area (approximately 7.0 metres in width) is required from the abutting property to the south, municipally known as 1478 Altona Road. This design maintains future development options for 1478 Altona Road onto Richardson Street, and may be more economically viable than other designs. However, the partial involvement of the owner of 1478 Altona Road is required. Municipal Property & Engineering staff have advised that this design would generate an estimated 17 and 14 vehicle trips during the morning and evening peak hours respectively, and that no significant traffic impacts would be anticipated on Richardson Street or the surrounding street nefinrork (see Attachment #21). Staff Alternative Option 2— Extend Richardson Street east to a cul-de-sac adjacent to Altona Road Richardson Street could be extended eastward though 1478 Altona Road to a cul-de-sac adjacent to the west side of Altona Road (see Staffs Alternative Design — Option 2, Attachment #6). This design would eliminate lots backing onto Altona Road. This design would also eliminate access onto Altona and would provide vehicular and pedestrian connections to the existing neighbourhood. A walkway connection to the school could be provided on the City-owned lands, immediately east of the last residential lot fronting onto Richardson Street. Report PD 23-07 Subject: Altridge Properties Inc. (S-P-2005-03, A 34/05) Date: July 23, 2007 Page 7 - Staff acknowledge that this option requires the full involvement of the property at 1478 Altona Road for road purposes, with only a moderate increase in available lotting frontage. Staff Alternative Option 3— Provide an alternate use on the propertv Although different from the low density residential land use originally envisioned for these lands, the subject property and abutting City-owned lands could be developed for a mixed-use project that serves the broader community. In 1989 consideration was given to a zoning by-law amendment application to permit a mixed-use commercial and residential development on this site, however the application was abandoned. Access to the site, site function and compatibility with the surrounding neighbourhood would need to be thoroughly reviewed and addressed prior to consideration being given to an alternate use. 3.4 Two alternative designs proposed by the applicant are not supported by staff, and the applicant wishes to proceed with the application as initially submitted The alternative designs for this site as prepared by staff have been discussed with the applicant. The applicant advises that they have not been able to secure land from the abutting landowner to the south (1478 Altona Road) to pursue either Option 1 or 2 as proposed by staff. Instead, the applicant has prepared two alternative designs for the site which propose �the construction of the Richardson Street cul-de-sac on the west side of the site with temporary road conditions until 1478 Altona Road is developed. The first alternative design involves the extension of Richardson Street northward with a reduced right-of-way width in front of 1478 Altona Road (see Applicant's Submitted Alternative Plan — Option A, Attachment #7). The second alternative plan proposes the construction of a temporary road through the south end of the site from Altona Road until a permanent connection to the existing portion of Richardson Street is completed (see ApplicanYs Submitted Alternative Plan — Option B, Attachment #8). Staff do not support the alternative designs proposed by the applicant as there is no guarantee that the temporary conditions would be removed, and there is a risk that the temporary roads would become permanent if the property to the south does not develop. There would also be no incentive for the applicant to complete the full road connection for Richardson Street for either of these designs once their development is complete. The proposal to provide a temporary road connection from Altona Road to Richardson Street would still not address staff's concerns regarding access onto Altona Road.

(S-P-2005-03, A 34/05) Page 8 97 As the Planning & Development Department does not support either of the proposed temporary scenarios, the applicant is continuing to pursue the original submission as initially applied for. 4.0 Applicant's Comments The applicant is aware of the staff recommendation for refusal of the application.

Rd. Mr. Scvuzzo had grave concerns with respect to water run-off. He is now experiencing major problems on his property and has hired an independent firrn to check out the foundation of his home to see if water has structurally damaged his foundation. He stated that in his opinion the builder of the new subdivision will not properly address the water run-off issues and his property will be in a"valley" with water draining directly onto his property. Mr. Scavuzo brought pictures of his property and wan invited to speak with members of the Planning Department after the meeting. Anna Agraso 307 Tomlinson Crt. Ms. Agraso expressed concerns as follows: • Lots sizes are too small for the existing neighborhood. • Property values will decrease. • Once Altona Road had beautiful trees, when will these be replaced • Proposed access will create traffic problems • Safety for school in the area • City will change by-law without notifying anyone in the area • Did not receive notification of ineeting — was informed by a neighbour Page 2 CORP0228-2/02 Item / Details 8 Discussion 8 Conclusivn �; „� ,;�;,: ;¢ ;� 9� .

They do agree with the development however do have concerns with declining property values. Also, they would like clarification whether the access will be from Alton Road or Richardson St. The height of any fencing that would go up was also a concern and asked staff for clarification of the fencing height restriction by—law. James Callan 1483 Altona Rd. Mr. Callan expressed concerns as follows: • If a new road is built will it be private or public. • Widening Altona Road will increase traffic pattern • Will new access road be a traffic light intersection • If new by-law is passed what are the boundaries it will effect Mr. & Mrs. Seres 306 Sheppard Ave. Mr. & Mrs. Seres are very concerned with the lot sizes of the subdivision.

To receive notice of any future meetings on this matter 2. To receive notification of any decisions of the City with respect to the proposed new subdivision Additionally, I have some questions/concerns regarding this subdivision: I live at 278 Richardson which is the property closest to this new development. Ideally, I would like to see the property not developed but understand this is not realistic. I do have a real concern about protecting the privacy of my home and the appearance/value of my property. My husband and I are original owners and have lived her for 18 years. 1. The drawing would appear to have a property running up to my front lawn. A backyard abutting another backyard is one thing but it is not right to have a backyard running against a homes front lawn. Visually, this will not be appealing and it will lower the value of my home. Can you please confirm if I have understand the drawing correctly. Can you please advise as to the steps to oppose any abutment to my front lawn. 2. If the zoning of the property is changed, is the builder committed to developing single family homes? I am trying to understand if after approvals they can change their plans to build semi detached or town homes. 3. Currently tt-.ere is a walkway from Littleford to Richardson which children use to walk to the catholic school and also.the local high school, alongside the property that abuts my house and the school. Has any consideration been qiven to the impact on neighbourhood children who will now have to walk considerably further? Was any consideration given to building fewer homes to accommodate a walk way through to Sheppard? We would really appreciate it if you could provide answers to our questions. Thanks. Debbie and Jim Coughlin 278 Richardson Street Pickering, Ontario L1V 6B5 � ATTACFiM�iUT � � � TO • RE�'GRT # PD � '�',� 118 We the registered owners of 1478 Altona Rd. are extremely concerned with numerous issues with regards to "Proposed application S-P-2005-03/ zoning A034/O5. ACCESS The access of 10 or more vehicles to an already deemed heavily used road. Comment justified with proposed widening of Altona Rd.(since 1999) 2. Narrow bridge -causing a bottleneck effect with regards to traffic congestion at the intersection of Twyn Rivers and Altona Rd. (South west corner), also to mention -degree of incline approaching this specific corner. 3. This proposal's increase of traffic to an already established 2 school zones heavily used areas, 2 established traffic lights and the natrow bridge's congestion, all within a one block radius, is a risk to community safety. Also access to and from our home will be greatly affected. FYI- last traffic accident Apri109,2006 4. The safety of our own property with regards to multiple vehicle road way so close to our housing structure. We did not buy ow property as a corner lot. This proposed usage of multiple vehicles around our children is of great concern. 5. Won't proposed roadway off of Altona create extra frontage to our property? Consequently will our land taxes reflect this change? DWELLINGS 1. Number one concern of the proposed housing is the overall elevation of land. Is the City of Pickering going to allow us to be flooded out with regards to water flow? As it did in the past with regards to the development of Littleford. The land to the south of our property was on average, level with us, when originally purchased in 1996, as is the property in question. (See picture) 2. Currently we have at the west side of our property a culvert, to deal with surface water. Will the surface water flow in or out of proposed property? 3. What will happen to mature trees lining our property? Will our chain link fence remain standing as it currently does, with regards to this development if proposal accepted? 4. How will this development affect under ground water flow? As we are so low on the water table, with already discovered natural water flow approximately 6-7' down on the north side? This was found during connection to sewer system, inspected by a Pickering employee. What will be done to deal with it? �'�ACH�,�E�i �.�_TO �iEr'GF37 # Pa Z3 K�7 5. I spoke with GeoffRomanowski on March 23. I mentioned the concerns regarding previous development, he asked me to write all concerns down and bring them to Apri120 information meeting.........The first of these concerns is that our backyard was flooded, after we attended that City meeting. (See picture) 6. The fact that our chain link fence stood prior to development but has been supported by beams since it fell and was mentioned to Ian at Marshall homes. (See picture) 7. The sidewalk along Altona Rd. between 1478 and Littleford is constantly flooded out with rains and snow melting. The city has cleared this particular sidewallc via plough/salter for past 10 years or so and has had continuous ditching of the machine since the building of the backyard sound barriers facing Altona, recently this past winter they have started using a hand plough in that specific area and have gained access to the remaining sidewalk north of us via our road way access. This makes the usage of the sidewalk difficult, during these times. Also the trapped gazbage and water are perfect conditions for breeding mosquitoes. (See picture) 8. The height difference regarding the property south of us has definitely affected the natural flow of water, as their front entrance is 7feet above our property. Their driveway sits approximately at same level as the roof our garage. Entrance off of Richardson. (See picture) 9. If this proposal is approved, who will make sure the value our property is not affected at the gain of another? 10. And if the city's proposal of widening Altona is the solution to heavy traffic issues, we are left with the concern of how high will Altona. Rd. be after the widening? How long will it take in comparison to the building of these 10 homes? 11. Please acknowledge this letter as our official request to be informed of any decisions regarding this property and or proposal. All future communications are requested in writing.

The development of this property should only occur as part of the extension of Richardson Street. Richardson Street presently ends with a temporary turning circle condition as it was anticipated to be extended in the future. Property was conveyed to the City for future road as a condition of that draft approval, and as a condition of the approval of lots to the south. Development should not be permitted to proceed unless this connection is completed. 2) A storm sewer is not available on Altona Road. the existing storm sewer on Richardson Street. Downstream cost sharing for the existing trunk for this development. Street "A" is required to connect to storm sewer will also be identified 3) Connecting Street "A" to Richardson Street and maintaining Street "A" adjacent to Altona Road is possible; however, relocating street "A" to the proposed extension of Richardson Street (Fawndale Road) on those parts of lands already provided for future road creates a better connecting to the school. There is an existing sidewalk on the north side of Richardson Street that would connect directly to a sidewalk proposed on the west side of street "A". This would also provide a direct connection to the walkway that is between Littleford Street and Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 034/05 April 4, 2006 Altridge Properties Inc. � ��'°��' �'��°�� 1��=� �� -�t�� ,� ��? �.n,,r.�w.�. Page 2 = Richardson Street. This design requires only the maintenance of a sidewalk, where the other option would require a longer sidewalk and another walkway connection. Although rear yard fencing (noise fence) would be required adjacent to Altona Road, this is similar to previous development on Altona Road south of Sheppard Avenue / Twyn Rivers Drive. � 4) A geotechnical report will be required. 5) The City will need to be satisfied with regard to stormwater quality. 6) Applicant/owner will need to enter into an agreement with the City to address such matters as, but not limited to, engineering plans, roads, services, stormwater, utilities, sidewalks, street lighting, fencing, lot grading securities, insurance, driveway aprons, tree planting, etc. 7) Cost sharing for downstream storm sewer oversizing and/or quality control measures will be addressed in the Subdivision Agreement. 8) A Tree Preservation Plan will be required. 9) A Boulevard Tree Planting Plan will be required. 10) All easements required by the City for stormwater management purposes must be provided. 11) A Construction Management Report is required. It must address such items as erosion and sedimentation control, mud and dust control on site and on the adjacent site during all phases of construction, hours of work, material stockpiles, storage of materials, servicing supplies, building supplies, construction vehicles, construction access, fencing temporary and permanent. 12) City of Pickering has recently passed a By-law restricting the placing and/or removal of fill and/or topsoil. A copy of that By-law No. 6060/02 is provided with these comments and should be forwarded to the applicant for their information. � . _ . _ � '�_ ��`' _-�, Robert Starr RS:jlm J:1DOeum�N��D�vNOpmM1 CeMr01�BOBSTARRYMmnupplic�liom�toMrp �mmOmmlUNitlp� PrapMln I�..tlx Copy: Coordinator, Development Approvals Technician, Development Approvals s' ,.1 at`�.?nt �f j � r� M � ��t� �.��.;�t-_ �� . �� . . � -s�; � F,'! d �� . .�:L� `'� �_._ . _. � 2 3 June 16, 2006 . � ' � � � Mr. Geoff Romanowski � � � � � �� s � .

The board at the time decided not to participate in this venture. However, since that time the idea has been brought forth from the parents of the St. Monica Catholic School community and upon further reflection the Durham Catholic School Board would now like to pursue this initiative. Staff from the Facilities Services and transportation staff nom Durham Student Transportation Services have been out to the location to review the area. At this point in time both depa�tments would like to pursue the option of providing access from the walkway to the school. Staff from Facilities Services will be able to provide a gate and a walking area on the school site from the paved walkway. This request from parents at St. Monica Catholic School was brought forth as the walking area to St. Monica Catholic School has been amended, meaning more students could use the pathway to get to the school site. At this time both Facilities Services of the Durham Catholic District School Board and Durham Student Transportation Services would like to participate in this venture, if the City of Pickering is willing to review this project.

Thank you for the opportunity to review the above-referenced Draft Plan of Subdivision, Zoning By-Iaw Amendment Application and related Phase I Environmental Site`Assessment, received on March 31, 2006. The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) has reviewed the submissions and offers the following comments. . Background The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Altona Road and Twyn Rivers Drive, in the City of Pickering. It is our understanding that the applicant wishes to amend the existing zoning to permit the construction of 10 single detached dwelling units. Currently, the property is undeveloped and abuts existing residential and institutional development. Sife-specific Comments Please note that the property is situated outside of the TRCA's FiII Regulated Area and related Regional Storm Floodplain of the Petticoat Creek Watershed, pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 (Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways). Therefore an Ontario Regulation 158 Permit is not required prior to any works taking place on the subject property. Furthermore, there are no natural features on, or adjacent to, the site that are of concern to the TRCA. Due to the size of the site (less than 5 hectares), the TRCA defers the review of stormwater management design to the City of Pickering, but supports any initiatives to manage water quality and quantity on site.

Paterson Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer COMRIF Asset Management Program Funding Recommendation: 1. That Report CS 32-07 of the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be received; 2. That the Mayor and Chief Administrative Officer be authorized to execute the Funding Agreement for Asset Management Program (AMP) Project under the Canada — Ontario Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (COMRIF) program in order to obtain funding in the amount of $32,440, and 3. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary actions to give effect thereto. Executive Summary: Starting January 1, 2009, Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) standards will require Canadian municipalities to record tangible capital assets in their accounting systems rather than expensing the costs as is currently done. The implementation of these standards will require changes to accounting and budgeting systems and processes to be able to capture and record tangible capital assets, account for their depreciation and account for their improvements, replacements, disposals or impairments. Corporate Services' staff were successful in obtaining COMRIF funding to assist in the implementation of these asset management requirements. These funds can be used for consulting, software, hardware, training and staff costs related to the implementation of the asset management program. Financiallmplications: The City is to receive $32,440 to assist in the implementation of the asset management program. Under the COMRIF program rules, the City has to provide 1/3 matching funds of the total project cost of $48,660, to be eligible for the program. The City's contribution of $16,220 was provided for in the 2007 Current Budget for Finance. Report CS 32-07 July 23, 2007 S.ubject: COMRIF Asset Management Program Funding Page 2 1�d Sustainability Implications: As the existing capital asset base ages and with an increased demand for new capital assets, the ability of local government to sustain these services will become more challenging. Information about the existing capital asset base such as cost, need for replacement will assist the City in making critical decisions to ensure the financial sustainability of the City and its asset base. Background: The City of Pickering is responsible for the management of a diverse range of capital assets. In addition to significant land holdings, the City also owns buildings, fleet vehicles, equipment, storm sewers, library books, etc. to support basic municipal services. There is prima facie evidence that municipal governments are facing major challenges financing the maintenance, renewal and replacement of aging capital assets. There appears to be an existing information gap regarding the "status or condition" of the City's tangible capital assets and the reporting of this information on the financial statements. In other words, municipal financial statements, currently do not provide any information regarding the value of the City's assets. Reporting of asset information on the financial statements can bridge the "information gap" by bringing capital asset information to the attention of the public and other users. Bridqinq the Information Gap Starting, January 1, 2009, Canadian municipalities will be required to report on their tangible capital assets on an accrual basis (depreciation). This decision was made by the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) at its meeting of June 12, 2006. The Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) prescribes that all Ontario municipalities must follow PSAB directives and guidelines for accounting and financial reporting. The PSAB decision means that the City will have to start recording tangible capital assets in the City's accounting records, charging depreciation expense and report these assets in the City's Financial Statements. The impact of these changes is significant and will affect all departments of the City. Major impacts include the following: • Develop a comprehensive inventory and valuation of capital assets including: land, roads, bridges, buildings, storm water systems, park play structures, library books and reference materials, information technology hardware & software, vehicles and equipment. • Develop new budgeting and accounting systems and or processes. • Determine the historical costs of all capital assets (regardless of age) including development of valuation models where historical data is not available. • Determine the useful/economic life of all capital assets beyond the information currently available for the City's major assets. Report CS 32-07 July 23, 2007 � 135 Subject: COMRIF Asset Management Program Funding Use of COMRIF Funds Page 3 Under the COMRIF AMP program, the gross funding for the project is $48,660 of which COMRIF will provide a grant or financial assistance in the amount of $32,440 with the City's matching contribution of $16,220. Staff plan to use these funds by addressing the issues mentioned above. These activities include but are not limited to conducting an inventory of existing assets, determining their remaining useful life, determining their fair market value and depreciation policy and or schedules. A report outlining the impact of the tangible capital reporting requirements and providing the implementation plan is expected to be presented to Council this Fall. Attachments: 1.

Fireworks B-law 4168/72 Draft Fireworks B-law Reason for Chan e Fireworks can be sold for 3 Fireworks can be sold for 7 Longer time period to sell da s da s fireworks Fire Ball, squib, crackers or All Consumer Fireworks Updated fireworks list to fireworks prohibited under the Explosives Act comply with the Explosives are allowed — , Act and removed the use of exce t Firecrackers Firecrackers because staff Draft Fireworks By-law 152 July 9, 2007 Page 2 felt Firecrackers only generate noise and have no display purpose, therefore, for the safety of the community they have been eliminated from the list. No process or regulations Process and regulations No regulations in place for for the setting off of display put in place to protect the the setting off of display fireworks citizens and the fireworks so we put them in Corporation of the City of place for the safety of the Pickering during a display community and the person fireworks event settin the dis la off. In consultation with the Fire Department and the City Solicitor we have determined that the old by-law had no regulations on the safe selling and safe setting off of display fireworks within it. The new by-law is not intended to regulate the citizens who wish to enjoy a small fireworks display on their own property, rather it has been revised in order to provide guidelines for the selling of fireworks out of a mobile unit and the setting off of fireworks during a permitted fireworks disptay for the safety of the community.
