1005 CORRESPONDENCE (A) TO Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting November 6, 2009

FROM Gord and Lynda Everson

RE 2964 Seabreeze Road

ISSUE The recent mapping done by the TRCA has placed our property completely in the flood plain of Carruthers Creek and our consent to subdivide our 100’ x 200’ lot, back to its original state of two (2) - 50’ x 200’ lots, has been refused by Durham Region Land Division.

KEY FACTS • When we purchased our home in 1973 our property was not in the flood plain. • The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) decision of February 23, 1994 zoned our property under By-law 12-93 “R4-Residential Detached”…our property was not within the Regional Storm Floodline of Carruthers Creek and no “H” Holding provision was placed on our property. • When the Provincial Policy Statement, 2005 (PPS) was mandated our property was not in the flood plain. • Our consent to subdivide is permissible under the Town of Ajax Zoning By-law and the Town of Ajax and Durham Regional Official Plans.

BACKGROUND A great deal of development has been approved for properties in our area that were in the flood plain when purchased, in the flood plain at the time of the OMB decision and in the flood plain when development approval was initiated.

Details of development on the most controversial properties are outlined below. (All referenced documents were obtained through Freedom of Information. Where the source of the referenced document was the TRCA the file containing the document is referenced. Where the Town of Ajax was the source of the document “Town of Ajax” is referenced.)

1006 • The structure was replacing an existing 1350 sq. ft. residence and was therefore considered to be a replacement structure within the meaning of the Authority’s Flood Vulnerable Area Policy, 1987. - ref. correspondence to the Chairman and Members of the Executive Committee from John Maletich July 7, 1989 (CFN 21978-01) • Exception to the flood vulnerable area policy prohibiting major additions/replacement structures would have to be considered. - ref. R. Jarrett note 15.6.89 (CFN 103164) • The subject property is located adjacent to a minor watercourse, flooding of the main Carruthers Creek backs up this minor system during Regional Storm flood events - ref. correspondence to the Chairman and Members of the Executive Committee from John Maletich July 7, 1989 (CFN 21978-01)

Actions • A violation notice was issued by TRCA; A stop work order was issued by the Town of Ajax – ref. correspondence to the Chairman and members of the Executive Committee from John Maletich July 7, 1989 (CFN 21978-01)

Commitments • “The Town of Ajax will be carrying out future major/minor system drainage improvements along this minor watercourse system to eliminate or confine the backwater effect of the main Carruthers Creek under Regional Storm conditions” - ref. correspondence to the Chairman and members of the Executive Committee from John Maletich July 7, 1989 (CFN 21978-01) • “Town prepared to do drainage works contain flows/flooding in swale thru rear yards” – ref. R. Jarrett “Phone Conversation Record” with Frank Hull June 19/89 (CFN 103164)

Resolution • TRCA recommended the approval to erect a structure with the Regional Flood Plain. ref. correspondence to the Chairman and members of the Executive Committee from John Maletich July 7, 1989 (CFN 21978-01)

2. 2954 SEABREEZE ROAD a) Approval to construct a new residence within flood plain and spillway of Carruthers Creek. - ref. map received by TRCA December 3, 1997 (CFN 28931); Part Print Floodplain Mapping July 29/97 (CFN 28931) *NOTE 2964 SEABREEZE IS OUTSIDE OF FLOODLINE

Issues • TRCA’s concern that a cut and fill on a property almost entirely within the flood plain may cause problems in the future – ref. Tricia Pella memorandum to Don Haley July 29, 1997 (CFN 28931)

1007 • Concern about approving a cut & fill where majority of property is flood plain and the possibility that at least 6 other lots will apply for a similar proposal and that it will set a precedent for development in the area and will open up a can of worms. - ref. phone conversation - Frank Hull and Tricia Pella Sept 15/97 (CFN 28931) • Approximately 80 percent of the subject property being within the Regional storm floodplain – ref. letter from Mary Asselstine to Dave Murchison November 4, 1997 (CFN 28931) • The fp being backwater from Carruther’s Creek and only this lot being affected largely by fp ‘flood plain’ – ref. notes from Feb 25/98 meeting (CFN 28931) • Developer purchased property knowing it was flood plain – ref. notes from Feb 25/98 meeting (CFN 28931) • Subject lands were zoned ‘R4’ (H) and the holding provision was required to be removed prior to the applicant proceeding to develop the subject lands – ref.

Town of Ajax Inter-Office memorandum October 26, 1998 (Town of Ajax)

Considerations • The TRCA identified three options to resolve the permit application for construction on the subject property – 1) The preferred alternative for the Town of Ajax to exchange the subject flood prone lot for a portion of road allowance on Seabreeze Road that is not in the flood plain. 2) The subject property could be developable through cutting and filling. 3) A lot may be available for exchange that is currently owned by TRCA. – ref. TRCA letter to Mr. Joseph Pitino March 4, 1998 (CFN 28931)

By-law Number 141-98 (Town of Ajax) • Development agreement was entered into placing a restrictive covenant on the land preventing the owner from altering the grading or erect or construct any buildings, accessory buildings or structures – ref. Report to Standing Committee of the Whole October 13, 1998 (Town of Ajax) • Further review the position on the removal of “illegal” works on 2929 Beachview Rd with the Town Solicitor and the TRCA – ref. Town of Ajax Inter-Office Memorandum October 26, 1998 (Town of Ajax) • TRCA staff issued permit C-98196 for regrading within the fill Regulated Area on the subject property – ref.

1008

We question if the illegal works were ever removed or replaced.

b) Approval to construct a pool on a property with a restrictive covenant registered on title prohibiting such. Issues • Construction of a pool on subject lands containing a restrictive covenant on title disallowing the construction of structures including pools – ref. e-mail from Russel White 04/28/2004 (CFN 34995) • An exception to the restrictive covenant needed from the Town of Ajax in order for in-ground pool proposal to be considered by the TRCA – ref. letter from TRCA to Ms. Krista Boyce May 10, 2004 (CFN 29344.08) • Drainage and maintenance of flood plain storage on subject property – ref. Chris Jones e-mail to Councilors Jordan Brown 06/12/2007 (CFN 34995) • Any filling in the backyard of the subject property has the potential to increase the flood risk to the entire neighbourhood by removing flood plain storage – ref.

Result • The TRCA had no objection – ref. Russel White letter to Ron Warne July 17, 2000 (CFN 31036.11

1011 SUMMARY OF DEVELOPMENT IN PICKERING BEACH AREA

Before OMB Decision Now Total # of Lots 179 250 Total # of Homes 125 237 Total # of Vacant Lots 54 13

- Through in-filling, one hundred and twelve (112) additional homes have been added and seventy-one (71) additional lots have been created since the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) decision on February 23, 1994. - Severances resulted in the creation of fifty-eight (58) - 50’ x 100’ lots; sixteen (16) - 50’ x (approx) 130’ lots and thirty (30) close to or the same size as the lots we would like to create - 50’ x 200’. - There are a total of thirteen (13) vacant lots remaining to be developed. - Every application to subdivide a lot or construct a new home has been approved with the exception of our application.

CONCERNS With only a few lots remaining, the in-filling in the Pickering Beach area is close to completion. The Town of Ajax and the TRCA has approved development for many properties that were purchased within the flood plain. It would appear that the TRCA has chosen to prejudice our property.

The road-right-of-way referred to as a “Consideration” in the application to construct a dwelling on 2954 Seabreeze Road has been sold by the Town of Ajax as a developable lot. The new mapping by the TRCA has placed this lot entirely in the flood plain. Why was there no consideration given to grade this road-right-of way and replace the flood plain and spillway lost when the approval was given to develop 2954 Seabreeze other flood prone properties?

OBJECTIVE To work with the TRCA to give us back our right to subdivide our property. Further, to return our property to the status it was before the new mapping - to place our property outside of the flood plain where it has always been.

1019 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION

RES.#B152/09 - GREENWOOD CONSERVATION AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT Town of Ajax. Approval to enter into a management agreement with the Town of Ajax for the management of Greenwood Conservation Area and update on implementation of the management plan.

Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Ron Moeser

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) enter into a management agreement with the Town of Ajax for the management of Greenwood Conservation Area (GCA) subject to the following: z Town of Ajax will develop, maintain and use the lands in accordance with the Greenwood Conservation Area Management Plan, dated May 2004, at the Town's cost and will comply with all legislation and regulations; z Town of Ajax will covenant and agree to indemnify and save harmless TRCA; z Town of Ajax will be responsible for insurance, taxes and all costs associated with inspection and management of the subject lands; z any other terms and conditions as may be required by TRCA staff and solicitor;

THAT the authorized TRCA officials be directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect to the management agreement, including obtaining necessary approvals and the signing and execution of documents;

THAT TRCA staff continue to work with the Town of Ajax and the Greenwood Conservation Area Stewardship Committee on management plan implementation activities;

AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to the Authority as necessary on implementation highlights and accomplishments. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #11/06, held on January 26, 2007, Resolution #A316/06 was approved as follows:

THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff continue to work with the Town of Ajax and the Greenwood Conservation Area Stewardship Committee on the implementation of the Greenwood Conservation Area Management Plan;

THAT TRCA staff report back to the Authority on an annual basis identifying implementation highlights and accomplishments;

AND FURTHER THAT TRCA staff advise the Town of Ajax and the stewardship committee on management plan implementation activities.

1020 The Greenwood Conservation Area (GCA) comprises approximately 287 hectares of greenspace on Duffins Creek, which is located in the Town of Ajax and the City of Pickering in the Regional Municipality of Durham. TRCA and the Town of Ajax reached agreement on the interim management of approximately 222 hectares of the GCA effective May 1, 1999. TRCA continues to manage the remaining 61 hectares, located in the City of Pickering.

In 1999, the Town of Ajax opened GCA for public access seven days a week and provided a significant staff presence to maintain and improve the area. The Town of Ajax manages the day-to-day operation and the maintenance and upkeep of trails, facilities and infrastructure. Town staff also develop and coordinate programs, activities and events, such as the yearly fall festival “Pumpkinville” and "Winterfest".

TRCA, in partnership with the Town of Ajax, completed a comprehensive management plan for GCA in the spring of 2004. The purpose of the Greenwood Conservation Area Management Plan was to examine the lands in detail and establish an appropriate type and level of management to ensure environmental sustainability of these lands into the future. The Town of Ajax, the City of Pickering and Durham Region were all supportive of the management plan.

A key recommendation of the management plan was the establishment of a working stewardship committee to oversee and participate in the management and implementation of numerous plan objectives. The committee assists the Town of Ajax and TRCA to implement site development, maintenance, and environmental protection and restoration activities.

The Greenwood Conservation Area Stewardship Committee was formed in 2006 and is composed of representatives from the Town of Ajax, Ajax Recreational Advisory Committee, Ajax Environmental Advisory Committee, Heritage Ajax, Duffins Creek Task Force, TRCA and local residents. Activities that the committee has been involved in include the review of trail projects and involvement in activities such as the leading of interpretive hikes.

Together with the stewardship committee, the Town of Ajax is in the process of implementing a variety of activities at GCA. Activities include trail development, land management activities and implementation of an extensive signage program including interpretive and directional signs, all of which are in line with the recommendations of the management plan. The Town of Ajax is also in the process of constructing a new pavilion, which will provide additional program space for existing and future programs. In 2009, TRCA staff completed some bank stabilization work along the East Duffins Creek.

RATIONALE Staff is of the opinion that the management arrangement meets both TRCA and Town objectives, and should be formalized in a management agreement. The agreement allows for public use of GCA without additional costs to TRCA, and in turn provides Ajax with additional lands for recreational use. Also, it provides for an acceptable level of maintenance and allows for public presence on the land to reduce unauthorized activity and enhance public safety.

1021 DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE TRCA staff will work with the Town of Ajax staff to finalize the management agreement for the Greenwood Conservation Area. Future consideration will be given to including additional greenspace lands under management agreement with the Town of Ajax, and consolidating the existing Paulynn Park and Ajax waterfront agreements into one comprehensive agreement.

In terms of continued implementation of the management plan, the Town of Ajax, together with TRCA, is hoping to move forward on a number of initiatives in the next two years. These include: z continued trail development, including assessment and replacement of bridges and boardwalks as necessary; z fencing in required areas; z extensive signage program, including trailheads, directional and interpretive signs.

FINANCIAL DETAILS The Town of Ajax is responsible for all the costs related to the management of the property.

RES.#B153/09 - GREENLANDS ACQUISITION PROJECT FOR 2006-2010 Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Duffins Creek Watershed 2112406 Ontario Limited (Skyloft Resort), CFN 41026. Purchase of property located north of Chalk Lake Road, west of Lake Ridge Road, Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham, under the "Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006-2010", Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Duffins Creek watershed.

Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Ron Moeser

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 40.47 hectares (100 acres) more or less, being Part of Lots 7 & 8, Concession 7, Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham, located north of Chalk Lake Road, west of Lake Ridge Road be purchased from 2112406 Ontario Limited;

THAT a conservation easement for the protection of the environmental features and functions containing 3.34 hectares ( 8.25 acres) more or less, consisting of an irregular shaped parcel of land, said land being Lot 7, Concession 7, Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham, located north of Chalk Lake Road, west of Lake Ridge Road be purchased from 2112406 Ontario Limited;

1022 THAT the purchase price for both the fee simple purchase and the conservation easement be $1,060,000;

THAT the acquisition by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is conditional on the availability of all necessary funding;

THAT TRCA receive conveyance of the land required free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements and subject to a 6 metre (20 foot) wide right-of-way in favour of 2112406 Ontario Limited;

THAT the firm of Gardiner Roberts LLP, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete the transaction at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to be paid;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the signing and execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006-2010.

2112406 Ontario Limited operates the Skyloft Resort which is primarily a downhill ski/snowboard club on approximately 250 acres located north of Chalk Lake Road, west of Lake Ridge Road in the Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham. Of the total 250 acres, approximately 140 acres on the western side of the property contains the Skyloft facilities such as main lodge, downhill runs, light standards and parking. The remaining easterly 110 acres is not actively utilized by the resort.

The subject property is on the border between Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) and is in the northern headwaters of Duffins Creek watershed and CLOCA’s Lynde Creek watershed. TRCA staff has had discussions with CLOCA staff and given TRCA's ownership west of Lake Ridge Road and the small amount of land in Uxbridge that fall within the CLOCA watershed, CLOCA staff support TRCA acquiring and managing these lands.

TRCA staff has had ongoing discussions with Mr. Ken Marlatt, the owner/manager of the Skyloft Resort. Based on those discussions, staff is recommending a transaction on the following basis: a) TRCA will acquire approximately 100 acres of the 2112406 Ontario Limited property for a purchase price of $1.06 million; b) 2112406 Ontario Limited would retain a 10 acre building lot. The value of the lot has been taken into account when the purchase price of the 100 acre parcel was determined;

1023 c) 2112406 Ontario Limited would retain a 6 metre (20 foot) wide right-of-way for access between the 10 acre lot and the 140 acres to be retained by 2112406 Ontario Limited. This right-of-way would only remain in place for as long as the ski resort and the 10 acre lot remain in the same ownership; and d) 2112406 Ontario Limited will convey a conservation easement to TRCA over 8.25 acres of the 10 acre lot being the portion of the lot outside of the building envelope as determined by an Environmental Impact Study prepared by Jacques Whitford Stantec Limited.

Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands.

RATIONALE The subject property falls largely within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Duffins Creek watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006-2010. It is located in the headwaters of the Duffins and Lynde creeks. The property is designated as Natural Core Area under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. The addition of the subject parcel will compliment TRCA's holdings in the Glen Major area and will provide a potential trail connection between the Durham Forest north of the subject property and Chalk Lake Road.

TAXES AND MAINTENANCE Based on a review of the environmental criteria for lands that are eligible to receive a property tax exemption under the provincial Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program, it would appear that all of the subject property would be eligible for exemption for the 2011 taxation year. The addition of the subject parcel of land will not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance costs at this location.

FINANCIAL DETAILS At this time Ontario Heritage Trust (OHT) has agreed to fund up to $357,750 for the purchase price and related costs. During recent discussions with OHT staff, they have indicated that there may be additional funding available for this purchase. The subject property was included on the property acquisition list that was included as part of TRCA's 2009 budget submission to the Region of Durham. The Region will be asked to fund up to 40% of the purchase price and related costs. Other potential funding sources are The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto, other foundations and the TRCA land sale reserve. Expenditures related to this acquisition will be charged to account 004-11-502.

THAT the purchase price be $787,350, based on $14,500 per acre for 54.3 acres;

THAT acquisition by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is conditional on all necessary funding being available;

THAT TRCA enter into a Landholding Agreement for the property with the Nature Conservancy of Canada;

THAT TRCA receive conveyance of the land required free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements;

THAT Gardiner, Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete the transaction at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to be paid;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take whatever action may be required to given effect thereto including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the signing and execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006-2010.

14375 7th Concession is owned by William G. Love and Mary Anne McEvenue. The property is approximately 40.47 hectares (100 acres) in size and is located on the east side of the 7th Concession, south of the 16th Side Road in the Township of King. The property is improved with a residential dwelling and outbuildings. It is proposed that TRCA would acquire 22 hectares (54.3 acres) of the property leaving William G. Love and Mary Anne McEvenue with approximately 19.22 hectares (47.5 acres) of land together with the improvements.

1026 The subject property is within the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) Natural Area Conservation Plan known as the "Happy Valley Forest Natural Area" Conservation Plan (HVFNA). Natural area conservation plan means a comprehensive landscape conservation plan developed for a Natural Area the NCC has determined to be a priority to achieve conservation based on biodiversity, opportunity and threat. Natural area conservation plans set priorities for the acquisition of properties and identify key actions to achieve conservation success. "Natural Area" means a land mass where adjacent and nearby properties contain the same or similar species or habitats of significant value.

The HVFNA is located in King Township in the vicinity of Weston Road and 17th Side Road, on the Oak Ridges Moraine. The HVFNA falls within the jurisdiction of both Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) and TRCA. The HVFNA is the only area within TRCA's jurisdiction that meets NCC's criteria for acquisition and is therefore eligible for federal and provincial funding being administered by NCC.

NCC has been in contact with property owners within the HVFNA over the past two years and have secured several properties and conservation easements on the LSRCA side of the Oak Ridges Moraine. Love/McEvenue are the first property owners within the HVFNA on the TRCA side of the Oak Ridges Moraine that agreed to terms with NCC.

NCC has requested TRCA partner in purchasing the subject property and has entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale on the property which is conditional on funding and necessary approvals. NCC will assign this Agreement of Purchase and Sale to TRCA prior to closing. NCC will assist with fundraising efforts for the property and in exchange has requested that TRCA enter into a Landholding Agreement with NCC which sets out the manner in which the property is managed, protected and monitored.

The offer at hand is supported by an appraised value based on an independent valuation.

Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands.

RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Humber River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006-2010. It is in the headwaters of the Humber River and is designated as Natural Core Area in the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and is within the HVFNA designated by NCC.

1027 FINANCIAL DETAILS The subject property was identified on the list of properties approved by the City of Toronto to be funded from the City's Land Acquisition for Source Water Protection Reserve. The City will fund up to 33% of the costs of the acquisition for properties on the list located outside of the City boundaries.

NCC will provide the remainder of the funding for the purchase. NCC will obtain their funding from the federal and provincial governments, the Regional Municipality of York and private fundraising.

Expenditures related to this acquisition will be charged to account 004-11-502.

______1035 RES.#B157/09 - SECORD FOREST AND WILDLIFE AREA Proposal for Fishing and Outdoor Recreation Centre Lease with 2217014 Ontario Inc., CFN 40172. Recommends a lease of the Secord lands, pond and associated buildings for a fishing and outdoor recreation centre.

Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Richard Whitehead

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) has been requested by 2217014 Ontario Inc. to enter into a lease arrangement for lands situated within the Secord Forest and Wildlife Area;

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA enter into a lease of approximately 17 hectares (42 acres), more or less, said land being Part of Lots 9, 10 and 11, Concession 3, in the Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham, for the development of a fishing and outdoor recreation centre by 2217014 Ontario Inc.;

THAT the lease with 2217014 Ontario Inc. be subject to the following terms and conditions: (a) the term of the lease will be for five years; (b) the lease rate is to be a base rent of $2.00 per year and a percentage rent of 5% of annual gross revenue; (c) 2217014 Ontario Inc. will be solely responsible for all costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the leased lands and facilities; (d) any other terms and conditions deemed appropriate by the TRCA staff and solicitor;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the signing and execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #9/05 held on November 25, 2005 Resolution #A265/05 was adopted as follows:

THAT staff be authorized to issue a request for proposal to lease Secord pond, adjacent buildings and lands to interested parties for use as an angling club and related activities;

AND FURTHER THAT staff report to the Executive Committee on the results of the request for proposal including the terms and conditions and anticipated long term revenues.

The Secord property was acquired by TRCA in 1997 through purchase and donation from Mrs. Secord. The property is located in the southwest portion of the Township of Uxbridge on the east side of Third Concession at Secord Road. It is legally described as Part of Lots 9, 10 and 11, Concession 3, Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham. A remaining 20 hectares section was later purchased from Mrs. Secord's estate. In 2005, a further 12 hectares was purchased from an adjoining landowner to add more habitat to the Secord Forest and Wildlife Area.

1036 The property is in the headwaters of Duffins Creek on the Oak Ridges Moraine. West Duffins Creek flows through the property and was dammed circa 1920 to form a 6.54 hectare pond now known as Secord pond.

Originally there were several buildings on site including an old gate keeper's house, barn and farm house. In 2005, the aforementioned houses were deemed unsafe and were demolished. This left the main house and cottage, which are adjacent to and south of the pond, and a barn that is located north of Secord Road. The main house is a large two-bedroom bungalow measuring approximately 3,140 square feet and has an attached two-car garage. The guest cottage has two bedrooms with a gross floor area of approximately 1,000 square feet.

Angling has not been allowed on the pond since TRCA came into possession of the property in 1997. Recent studies and reports by TRCA staff indicate that the pond continues to support a self-sustaining Brook Trout population. Bathymetry and other data have been collected and this information has been shared with potential tenant.

Request For Proposal A request for proposal (RFP) was issued in July of 2006. Two proposals were received. One for a private angling club and one for a public angling club. Staff undertook a review of the proposals and determined that both proposals required adjustments to be more in conformity with the requirements of the RFP. The proponent with the private angling club decided not to proceed with a revised proposal. The second proponent submitted a revised proposal. During the latter part of 2006 and into 2007 TRCA staff worked with the second proponent to refine the proposal and negotiate a lease for the property. In early 2008 the proponent approached TRCA staff and indicated that her situation had changed and she was not longer able to proceed with the proposal.

In May of 2008, TRCA received an unsolicited proposal for the establishment of an outdoor education and recreation centre at the Secord Forest and Wildlife Area from Bill Cockburn (2217014 Ontario Inc.). TRCA staff has worked with Mr. Cockburn to develop his proposal and negotiate a suitable lease arrangement.

2217014 Ontario Inc. (Mr. Cockburn) is proposing the following uses for the property: z public fishing; z angling club; z summer eco camp; z corporate events; z special events; z non profit events; z environmental education; z short term house and cottage rentals; z filming.

RATIONALE Secord pond is classified as a coldwater pond, supports a healthy population of Brook Trout, and the Ministry of Natural Resources has approved year-round fishing on the pond. Excellent fishing opportunities and extended access to the resource make this a very desirable property to the angling community. The main house and cottage are suitable for upgrading for the proposed rental use. 1037 2217014 Ontario Inc. has presented a sound business plan, and the proposed use conforms to and supports the Duffins Creek and Carruthers Creek Watershed Plan, The Duffins Creek Fisheries Management Plan and The Duffins Creek Headwaters Management Plan. The proposal will provide a unique angling experience to the community.

FINANCIAL DETAILS Acceptance of the proposal and the recommended lease arrangement will achieve the following: z ensure effective stewardship of the lands, pond and buildings at no cost to TRCA; z provide for controlled public access to the site; z provide a modest revenue stream to TRCA over the term of the lease.

All planning and construction costs for the development are the responsibility of 2217014 Ontario Inc..

1039 RES.#B158/09 - MEETING SCHEDULE 2010-2011 To provide a schedule of meetings for the forthcoming Authority year, beginning February 26, 2010 and ending January 28, 2011.

Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Maria Augimeri

THAT the Schedule of Meetings 2010-2011, dated October 20, 2009, be approved;

THAT the Executive Committee be designated the powers of the Authority during the month of August, 2010, as defined in Section 2.10 of the Rules of Conduct;

AND FURTHER THAT the CAO's Office distribute this schedule at the earliest opportunity to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) watershed municipalities and the Ministry of Natural Resources. CARRIED RATIONALE Since almost all members of TRCA sit on councils, boards or committees which usually meet on days other than Friday, the schedule has been arranged to accommodate all TRCA board meetings on Fridays. Staff has made every effort to avoid conflicts with municipal council meetings as much as possible in selecting the proposed meeting days.

An Authority meeting is not scheduled in the month of August due to the summer vacation season. To accommodate the large number of permit requests at this time, an Executive Committee meeting is scheduled. This meeting will be to primarily handle permits. Should an item requiring Authority approval need to be dealt with at this time, this is allowed for under Section 2.10 of the Authority's Rules of Conduct, should the Authority designate these powers:

2.10 to exercise such additional powers, excluding those powers set out in Clause (d) of Subsection (1) of Section 30 of the Act, as may be assigned to it by the Authority during the months of July and August provided that a report be given to the Authority at the first meeting of the Authority thereafter;

Staff is recommending powers be so designated to the Executive Committee for August, 2010, with the required report being brought to the Authority at its meeting scheduled to be held on September 17, 2010. Staff is also recommending that the August Executive Committee meeting be conducted with the option of teleconferencing due to the lighter agenda, unless otherwise advised as a result of items scheduled.

At Authority Annual Meeting #1/02, held on January 25, 2002, Resolution #A6/02 was approved in part as follows:

THAT the dates of future Annual Meetings be changed to accommodate the budget meeting schedule for our member municipalities, such that the Annual Meeting held following a municipal election be in January while the Annual Meetings in the interim two years between elections be moved to February;

1040 In accordance with Resolution #A6/02, the 2011 annual Authority meeting is scheduled to be held on Friday, January 28, 2011.

All meetings will be held at Black Creek Pioneer Village (BCPV), except for the December Executive Committee meeting which will be held in the Humber Room, Head Office, to accommodate the busy school booking season at BCPV. The Authority and Executive Committee meetings will be held at 9:30 a.m.. The Budget/Audit Advisory Board (BAAB) meetings are scheduled to be held immediately following Executive Committee meetings on April 9, 2010, June 4, 2010 and October 1, 2010. The initial intention was to schedule BAAB meetings as required, but due to difficulties with scheduling members, staff believe it prudent to schedule meeting dates for BAAB during the months that TRCA regular deals with budget and audit reports.

1043 RES.#B159/09 - ONTARIO MUNICIPAL BOARD HEARING Michael Labrier and Wendy Homer, Town of Caledon. Authorization to attain party status at the Ontario Municipal Board on referrals related to Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications relating to two six-storey apartment buildings containing 122 suites and 78 townhouses on the subject property.

Moved by: Richard Whitehead Seconded by: Jack Heath

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT authorization be given to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff to attain party status before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) regarding proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications pertaining to the subject property;

THAT staff continue to work cooperatively with TRCA's municipal partners and the appellant to ensure TRCA's requirements are implemented as part of the OMB process;

THAT staff be authorized to retain legal counsel to pursue this appeal before the OMB;

AND FURTHER THAT the OMB and all parties and participants to the hearing be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject property, approximately 2.6 hectares (6.4 acres) in size, is located on the south side of King Street West and east side of Station Road in the Town of Caledon. This property is located within the historic community of Bolton, within the Humber River valley, however outside of the Regulatory Floodplain. The entire property is located within TRCA's Regulated Area of the Humber River watershed and is subject to Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation).

The property presently includes two residential dwellings and associated amenity areas. The current proposal is to amend the Town of Caledon Official Plan and Zoning By-law in order to permit the development of two six-storey apartment buildings containing 122 suites and approximately 78 townhouses. The subject lands are presently designated "High Density Residential (HDR)" and "Environmental Policy Area (EPA)" and are zoned "Estate Residential (RE)" and "Open Space (OP)" in the Town of Caledon Official Plan and Zoning By-law respectively. The applications have been appealed to the OMB by the proponent for the Town's failure to render a decision on the proposed applications within the review period prescribed in the Planning Act, and for the Town of Caledon Council's refusal or neglect to enact the proposed amendments.

1044 TRCA staff has been involved in the review of these lands since 1997. In 1997, an Official Plan Amendment (OPA) was approved to permit two six-storey residential condominium apartment buildings with approximately 200 units. The approved OPA redesignated the lands to HDR and EPA. The HDR/EPA boundary served as the approved development envelope, which represented the toe of the valley slope, as staked on June 17, 1997 with TRCA staff. With this proposal, the proposed buildings were set-back from the toe of the slope, with associated amenities proposed between the buildings and the toe of slope. The 1997 OPA included a geotechnical report and included detailed plans to construct a retaining wall structure approximately three metres in height adjacent to the amenity areas. This proposal did not include a shoring/anchoring system with these retaining wall structures.

In 2008, a new Official Plan Amendment application was submitted to the Town of Caledon. The applicant is seeking, under this new application, to significantly expand the previously approved development envelope to include significant portions of the valley slope, and to remove substantial portions of the current EPA lands, and to redesignate these as HDR, to facilitate additional townhouse development on the valley slope. The revisions to the EPA and the corresponding modifications that are proposed to the development envelope would have the effect of reducing the ecological corridor through the subject property, and would create an incremental impact upon the broader ecological system, that if repeated, would undermine the form and function of this significant ecological system. Additionally, due to the extent of infrastructure required to support the proposed development (including a permanent shoring/anchoring wall, with the highest wall section being approximately 10 metres in height) long-term maintenance of the infrastructure may further impact upon the function of the remaining EPA lands.

The current proposed Official Plan Amendment would create substantial impacts to the existing valley slope landform, and have impacts on the Humber River natural heritage system beyond those originally contemplated in the 1997 application. As such, it is the opinion of staff that the proposed encroachment into the valley slope and reductions to the EPA lands on the subject property, are not consistent with TRCA, Town of Caledon and provincial policy requirements.

RATIONALE The OMB hearing is scheduled for December 1, 2009 and is scheduled for eight days. A previous pre-hearing was held to determine the scope of the issues and establish the date of the hearing. TRCA staff attended and provided preliminary comments at the initial pre-hearing on June 24, 2009, in an attempt to determine the need for the involvement of TRCA staff in the full hearing. TRCA staff consider TRCA's involvement to be critical in this hearing because the proposed development is: z not consistent with the development and landform conservation policies of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP); z not consistent with TRCA's Terrestrial Natural Heritage System Strategy (TNHSS) objectives; z not consistent with the 2008 Humber watershed plan planning objectives; z failing to demonstrate consistency with Section 2.1 of the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS); and, z not consistent with the policies of the Town of Caledon Official Plan.

1045 DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE TRCA staff is requesting authorization of the TRCA Executive Committee to retain legal counsel to ensure TRCA's interests, as identified above, are protected and addressed at the hearing of December 1, 2009. In the event that the proponent agrees to implement the approved development originally contemplated in 1997, TRCA staff may not need to be further involved in the hearing. TRCA staff and retained legal counsel will continue to work with the parties and participants to the hearing in an attempt to resolve our issues, and to reduce legal fees to the greatest possible extent.

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT authorization be given to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff to seek Party Status before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) regarding the appeal filed under Subsection 53 (19) of the Planning Act against the decision of the Durham Region Land Division Committee to refuse a consent to sever a residential lot at 2964 Seabreeze Road;

THAT staff continue to work cooperatively with the Region of Durham, Town of Ajax and the appellants to ensure that the requirements of the Planning Act, Provincial Policy Statement and TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program are met with respect to the natural hazards present on the subject lands;

THAT staff be authorized to retain legal counsel to pursue this appeal before the OMB;

AND FURTHER THAT the OMB and all parties and participants to the hearing be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject lands, known as 2964 Seabreeze Road, are a 0.1850 hectare residential lot with an existing dwelling located on the north side of the street within the Pickering Beach neighbourhood in the Town of Ajax. The Carruthers Creek valleylands are located directly to the north of the subject lands. On June 4, 2009 TRCA staff received a circulation from the Durham Region Land Division Committee of an application for a consent to sever the subject 2 2 lands into roughly two equal parcels of 924m and 926m in size. The approval of the application would permit the creation of one new lot for residential development. Unfortunately, no consultation with TRCA staff by the owner or owner’s agent was undertaken for the proposal prior to the filing of the application.

Portions of the residential properties north of Seabreeze Road immediately to the west of the subject lands have historically existed within the Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with the Carruthers Creek due to the low lying topography in relation to the creek. Since the 1980’s, TRCA has received several applications for the construction of new dwellings, additions and ancillary structures such as pools due to the presence of the Regional Storm Flood Plain, which was limited in its extent and located primarily in rear yards. Applicants were required to modify their applications to address flood risk and to demonstrate that flood plain storage and conveyance could be maintained without any off-site impacts within the context of a previous flood plain boundary. Applicants were advised that severances would not be permitted on lots covered by the Regional Storm Flood Plain.

The subject lands are located entirely within the Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with Carruthers Creek creating conditions that are not appropriate for the creation of new lots. The creation of a new lot is prohibited under the Planning Act and Provincial Policy Statement, 2005 for lands that are within a flood plain.

1047 The Durham Region Land Division Committee circulates applications to TRCA for the purpose of plan input and review with respect to, amongst other matters, natural hazards such as flood plains. In 2005 a previous application for the subject lands was considered by the Land Division Committee, which was not circulated to TRCA. This previous application was approved with conditions but was allowed to lapse and become void. Due to Planning Act requirements, TRCA staff was required to review the 2009 application based upon the latest flood plain information and comment accordingly.

Pursuant to the Provincial ‘One Window’ plan review protocol and the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Ministry of Natural Resources and Conservation Ontario, TRCA has been delegated the responsibility to represent the ‘Provincial Interest’ related to natural hazards, in our day-to-day review of applications made under the Planning Act.

On June 19, 2009 TRCA staff submitted written comments, after thorough consultation with the owner’s agent, to the Land Division Committee, the Town of Ajax and the owner’s agent. TRCA's written comments explained our responsibility to comment on behalf of the Province of Ontario with respect to natural hazards; identified the presence of the Regional Storm Flood Plain on the entirety of the subject lands; and, described the prohibition against the creation of new lots in the Regional Storm Flood Plain. In addition to the responsibility placed upon TRCA by the Province, Subsections 3 (5) and (6) of the Planning Act require that all comments provided, and all decisions made, must be ‘consistent with’ the Provincial Policy Statement, including the prohibition against the creation of new lots within the Regional Storm Flood Plain.

Given the legislative and policy requirements in force for the application and given staff’s professional assessment of the context of the application with respect to the Regional Storm Flood Plain, TRCA staff recommended refusal of the application to the Land Division Committee. TRCA staff's comments were echoed by Town of Ajax staff in a report to the Land Division Committee dated September 14, 2009.

At its meeting of September 14, 2009, the Durham Region Land Division Committee considered the application. The owner and TRCA staff were present to make a deputation and answer questions of the Committee. After considering the matter, the Land Division Committee refused the application based upon the recommendations of TRCA staff and Town of Ajax staff.

RATIONALE On October 8th, an OMB appeal against the decision of the Committee was filed by the owner and received by the Durham Region Land Division Committee for processing by the OMB. TRCA staff require legal counsel in order to represent TRCA’s interest in the appeal at the OMB. No hearing date has been set as of the time this report was filed for the agenda.

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff is requesting the authorization of the Authority to represent TRCA interests and provide expert advice at the OMB in order to defend the hazard land policies and requirements of the Planning Act and Provincial Policy Statement. Staff will continue to communicate with the parties and participants (if any) attending the hearing and will represent TRCA interest in advance of the hearing.

1048 FINANCIAL DETAILS Staff anticipate that the hearing would take place over the course of one to two days. In this event, it is expected that required staff resources and costs will be limited.

RES.#B163/09 - 1229 BETHESDA ROAD (SWAN LAKE) CFN 40084. Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing letter in support of an education use at Swan Lake, Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York.

Moved by: Maria Augimeri Seconded by: Ron Moeser

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in a receipt of a request from the Faculty of Education at York University to develop an educational facility at the recently acquired Swan Lake property;

AND WHEREAS TRCA is in receipt of a letter from Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) confirming that an educational use would be a permitted use at Swan Lake;

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT staff be directed to enter into negotiations for a lease agreement with York University;

THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action;

AND FURTHER THAT staff carry out the necessary repairs to stabilize and protect the integrity of the buildings using the available funds from the purchase of 1229 Bethesda Road. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #4/08, held on May 23, 2008, Resolution #A122/08 approved the acquisition of 1229 Bethesda Road (Swan Lake property) consisting of a 20.45 hectares (50.54 acres) rectangular shaped parcel of land, improved with a two storey, 6,000 square foot, stone exterior finished single family residence, triple detached garage, including a 9 acre kettle lake, said land being Part of Lot 5, Concession 2, Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York.

1049 At the same time, officials from York University's Faculty of Education were in discussions with TRCA Education staff about partnering to create additional innovative teacher education programs in the fast-growing community of Richmond Hill, at the Lake St. George Field Centre. They realized the opportunity to partner with TRCA at Swan Lake while still being able to take advantage of their proximity to Lake St. George Field Centre. By letter dated November 2008, York University requested that TRCA explore the potential educational use at Swan Lake.

Terms and conditions of a lease agreement with York University (York U.)would include the space to be made available to York U. (probably about 50% of the building), nature and use of the grounds, relationship with Lake St. George programs, investment by York U. in improvements to the building and rent.

TRCA asked the Province of Ontario to confirm if this use was permitted within the Core Area designation of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. A letter dated October 27, 2009, (Attachment 1) was recently received from MMAH confirming that an educational use would be permitted. Staff is completing a management plan for the TRCA lands east of Bayview Avenue, including the Swan Lake property. The plan will be presented to the Authority in 2010.

The buildings at Swan Lake property have remained vacant since the property was purchased. The heat has been kept on in the house and an alarm system was installed. Staff from Lake St. George Field Centre carry out regular inspections and patrols to maintain a presence on the property. A recent building inspection was carried out and identified some maintenance repairs that should be carried out immediately to protect and stabilize the building for future use. This includes replacing the roof, together with several windows as well as some masonry repairs to the chimney. The estimated cost for this work is $80,000.

Completing these repairs will enable TRCA to preserve the building until such time as future use of the property can be determined.

FINANCIAL DETAILS To purchase the property, the estimated cost including purchase and expenses was $3,580,000. which was to be secured from four principal funding partners: the City of Toronto, the Regional Municipality of York, the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation and the Town of Richmond Hill. Having made the initial request, TRCA received additional contributions from Ducks Unlimited and the ELJB Foundation. After the purchase closed and all costs were covered, approximately $145,000 remained in the Swan Lake acquisition account. Staff will use $80,000 of this funding to complete the immediate repairs.

Funding for the required repairs will be charged to account 004-11-502.

1051 RES.#B164/09 - GREENLANDS ACQUISITION PROJECT FOR 2006-2010 Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Rouge River Watershed Purchase of land.

Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Glenn De Baeremaeker

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT confidential item EX7.11 - Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006-2010 be approved;

AND FURTHER THAT staff report back when the item is completed and can be made public. CARRIED ______

SECTION II - ITEMS FOR EXECUTIVE ACTION

RES.#B165/09 - EAST DON TRAIL NETWORK - PHASE 1B Detailed Engineering Design and Construction Supervision Award of Sole Source Contract. Approval to extend an existing contract with R.V. Anderson and Associates Ltd. to complete the Phase 1b engineering design component, preparation of construction drawings and associated details, and construction inspection and advisory services for the continuation of the East Don Trail project.

Moved by: Maria Augimeri Seconded by: Colleen Jordan

THAT the contract to complete the detailed engineering design component and preparation of construction drawings and associated details for Phase 1b of the East Don Trail network be awarded to R.V. Anderson Associates Limited (RVA) at a total cost not to exceed $133,000.00, plus applicable taxes;

THAT staff be authorized to approve additional expenditures to a maximum of ten percent (10%) of the total cost of the contract for eligible disbursements and as a contingency allowance, if deemed necessary;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized officials be directed to take the necessary action to implement the contract including obtaining necessary approvals and the signing and execution of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1995, RVA was retained by the City of Toronto to undertake a comprehensive study and provide proposed trail networking options in the East Don Valley system spanning from Milne Hollow (Lawrence Avenue/Don Valley Parkway) to the forks of the Don River. The study was completed in 1997 resulting in a conceptualized alignment and network of trails servicing the East Don valleylands.

1052 Subsequently, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and City of Toronto staff participated in a cooperative review of the various conceptual trail alignments, potential impacts to vegetation communities, pedestrian bridge crossings, proposed trails surfaces and widths as well as social factors and conditions that might affect the proposed route(s). RVA has been retained by the City of Toronto on two occasions, as recently as December 2007, to provide updated project budget cost estimates for specific components of the trail network, namely the Milne Hollow/Moccasin Park/Concorde Place locale.

In June 2008, TRCA engaged RVA to undertake the Phase 1a design and drawing preparation for approvals and implementation in 2009. The Phase 1a works are ongoing at this time and completion is anticipated by year end subject to weather and site conditions. The City of Toronto has requested that TRCA undertake the completion of detailed engineering design and preparation of construction drawings to move forward with the Phase 1b implementation of the Milne Hollow/Moccasin Park/Concorde Place trail network.

The attached map shows the location and extent of Phase 1a (solid line in hatched area) and Phase 1b (dashed lines marked "future") works.

The City of Toronto has recently received notification of funding approval of $725,000 from the federal infrastructure program allowing them to move forward with the Phase 1b components including completion of detailed design and drawings for: z 330 m trail connection linking Moccasin Park, under the Don Valley Parkway (existing culvert access) and CN Rail Bala Subdivision (Rainbow culvert), with Milne Hollow via a proposed pedestrian footbridge (Bridge1b); z 900 m trail connection linking Phase 1a works (Wynford Heights Crescent access (bridge 1c)) with Milne Hollow including design and details for retaining structures, handrails, drainage improvements, overhead protective canopy at CPR Belleville Subdivision crossing and sediment controls.

RATIONALE RVA is an interdisciplinary firm that provides professional engineering, operations and management services. Their organization comprises environmental and infrastructure specialists for water, wastewater, transportation and urban development.

RVA has an in-depth knowledge of the area, and expertise and familiarity with the background and history of this project. RVA will be able to complete the work in a timely and cost efficient manner due to the fact that they already have extensive knowledge of the site, access to all study documents, surveys and recommendations, concept trail designs and approved alignments. Engaging another consultant at this point in the process would necessitate the requirement to collect and review all relevant documents and information and in all probability delay project completion and implementation scheduling, thereby putting federal infrastructure funding at risk.

Staff therefore recommends the award of the contract on a sole source basis as per Sections 1.14.3 and 1.14.5 of TRCA's Purchasing Policy as follows:

1053 When the extension or reinstatement of an existing contract would prove most cost-effective or beneficial. The extension shall not exceed one year., and;

The required goods and services are to be supplied by a particular vendor or supplier having special knowledge, skills, expertise or experience that cannot be provided by any other supplier.

FINANCIAL DETAILS The federal infrastructure funds will flow over the next two years (fall 2009 - March 2011) with $265,000 identified for immediate implementation in 2009. The balance of $460,000 in federal infrastructure funding will flow in 2010/2011.

All costs associated with this contract are fully recoverable from City of Toronto. The City has approved matching capital funding to implement Phase 1b. Charges will be allocated to the East Don Trail project account 117-49.

1055 RES.#B166/09 - PORT UNION WATERFRONT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (PHASE 2) Tender RSD09-36. Award of Tender RSD09-36 for the supply and delivery of approximately 4,400 tonnes of 4 to 6 tonne armour stone.

Moved by: Maria Augimeri Seconded by: Colleen Jordan

THAT Contract RSD09-36 for the supply and delivery of approximately 4,400 tonnes of 4 to 6 tonne armour stone to the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project (Phase 2), City of Toronto, be awarded to J.C. Rock Limited for a total unit price of $34.93 per tonne and a total cost not to exceed $153,692.00, plus applicable taxes, it being the lowest bid meeting Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take the necessary action to implement the contract, including obtaining approvals and signing and execution of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project (Phase 2) is located south of Lawrence Avenue east, between Chesterton Shores and the Rouge River in the City of Toronto. The project will consist of approximately 1.6 km of shoreline protection, trails and parkland development. The preferred option through the Class Environmental Assessment process calls for the construction of 6 headlands and 7 beach cell units. The armour stone will be used in the construction of one of the headlands.

RATIONALE Tender RSD09-36 was publicly advertised in the Daily Commercial News on September 30, 2009 and was sent to ten suppliers as follows: z Glenn Windrem Trucking; z Stonescape Quarry; z J.C. Rock Limited; z Dufferin Aggregates; z Lafarge Aggregates; z Nelson Aggregate Company; z Bot Construction; z Aecon; z Fowler Construction Company Limited; and z Brock Aggregates.

The Tender Opening Committee opened tenders at Tender Opening Committee Meeting #5/09 on October 9, 2009 with the following results:

1056 Tender RSD09-36 Supply and Delivery of Approximately 4000 Tonnes of 4 to 6 Tonne Armour Stone

BIDDERS APPROXIMATE TOTAL UNIT TOTAL VALUE QUANTITY PRICE OF CONTRACT (tonnes) (per tonne) (plus GST) J.C. Rock Limited 4,000 $34.93 $139,720.00 Glenn Windrem Trucking 4,000 $48.34 $193,360.00 Fowler Construction Company 4,000 $68.40 $273,560.00

The Tender documents stipulate that an increase/decrease in estimated quantities may be authorized up to twenty-five percent (25%). TRCA staff has chosen to exercise this right by increasing quantities by ten percent (10%) in order to meet with additional work loads. Based on the bids received, staff recommend that J.C. Rock Limited be awarded Contract RSD09-36 for the supply and delivery of approximately 4,400 tonnes of 4-6 tonne armour stone for the unit cost of $34.93 per tonne and a total amount not to exceed $153,692.00, plus GST, as they are the lowest bidder that meets TRCA specifications.

RES.#B167/09 - HABITAT IMPLEMENTATION PLANS AND PEEL CLIMATE CHANGE BUDGETS Contract Extension. Contract extension for existing procurement for new work garnered from Restoration Services.

Moved by: Maria Augimeri Seconded by: Colleen Jordan

THAT the contract to complete restoration construction work for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) Restoration Services habitat group be extended to Valefield Contracting Inc. at a total cost not to exceed $23,659.23, plus applicable taxes. CARRIED

1057 BACKGROUND In March 2009, Valefield Contracting Inc. was awarded a contract to do work for TRCA's Restoration Services habitat group to complete restoration construction work throughout the TRCA jurisdiction under various implementation programs. Valefield Contracting Inc. provides a specialized service relating to habitat restoration construction with smaller equipment than what Sartor and Susin (TRCA's other main contractor for restoration work) can provide. As a result, the work was not included in the contract with Sartor and Susin Ltd. for 2009. To date, the work provided by Valefield Contracting Inc. has been exemplary.

During 2009, the habitat group garnered additional partnerships, work and funding to complete restoration construction projects beyond what was originally anticipated. Due to timing urgencies and efficiencies, two of these projects were completed in the summer months. The other additional projects have yet to be completed. Also, additional work beyond what was originally planned was required within a completed wetland project in Claireville Conservation Area to accommodate a future trail through the site. For Valefield Contracting Inc. to complete all of the upcoming work scheduled, costs incurred would be above the originally approved procurement limit of $94,990.00 plus applicable taxes. Valefield Contracting Inc. was the lowest bidder in a competitive process for the original contract.

RATIONALE There are a variety of cost benefits to be gained from continuing the work with Valefield Contracting Inc. to implement the remaining 2009 work, which include: z mobilization and demobilization costs will be minimized by floating machinery straight from one project to the next; z time efficiency by maintaining no downtime between projects; z the work required is very specialized and there has been a lot of time put in to ensure that the work is being done according to the habitat requirements and outcomes that TRCA's habitat group requires (i.e. there would be no added cost or time for training new operators); z Valefield Contracting Inc. is pre-qualified to do work on the waterfront, and some additional works are along the waterfront;

Due to benefits of logistic, efficiency and product quality, the TRCA staff is confident that a contract extension with Valefield Contracting Inc. will ensure that the upcoming projects are constructed to the level of standard that is needed.

The recommended extension meets section 1.14.3 of TRCA's Purchasing Policy as follows:

When the extension or reinstatement of an existing contract would prove most cost-effective or beneficial. The extension shall not exceed one year.

FINANCIAL DETAILS The following is a summary outlining the current and anticipated status of work identified for Valefield (GST included):

1058 Original Procurement limit $99,739.50 True cost of current projects under Open P.O. $97,582.69 Cost estimate of upcoming/new projects $27,000.00 Total amount that would be over Procurement Limit $24,843.19

Funding will be provided by various regional partnership programs and the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation, which include projects under the following account codes: 216-70, 114-43, 114-40, 129-58, 117-82, 129-56.

SECTION IV - ITEMS FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE BOARD

RES.#B168/09 - 561 GLASGOW ROAD Change of Use Village of Bolton, Town of Caledon, CFN 22105. The Bolton Wanderers Soccer Club's use of 561 Glasgow Road, Bolton for field office and storage of equipment.

Moved by: Maria Augimeri Seconded by: Colleen Jordan

THAT the staff report regarding The Bolton Wanderers Soccer Club's use of the building at 561 Glasgow Road, Bolton, dated October 21, 2009, be received. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1984, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) entered into a management agreement with the Town of Caledon for various parcels of TRCA lands in the Bolton area of the Town of Caledon.

In the 1990's the Town experienced growth in the number of players participating in soccer in Bolton and surrounding area. The Town approached TRCA for additional land to accommodate their requirement for additional soccer fields. On September 1, 1998, TRCA added a 6 acre parcel of land on the north side of Glasgow Road to the existing management agreement for use by the Town as soccer fields. This parcel has since been named the Jack Garrett Soccer Park.

In 2002, the Town entered into a sublicence agreement with the Bolton Wanderers Soccer Club of Ontario, with TRCA approval, to deal with the use, care and administration of the soccer facilities at Edelweiss and Jack Garrett soccer parks. The sublicence agreement sets out the responsibilities of both the Town and the Club relating to the two sites.

1059 In March of 2009 the Bolton Wanderers Soccer Club expressed an interest in renting the dwelling at 561 Glasgow Road, Caledon for their field office and storage purposes. The Jack Garrett Soccer Park is located in front of TRCA-owned property municipally known as 561 Glasgow Road, Caledon. This dwelling became available for rent in May, 2009 and at that time, TRCA commenced negotiations with the Bolton Wanderers Soccer Club.

The Bolton Wanderers Soccer Club is in the process of changing the principal designation of the Jack Garrett Soccer Park to train their competitive and elite athletes and accordingly are interested in taking over the use of this dwelling for their field office and for the storage of equipment.

The Club was asked to contact the Town of Caledon Planning and Development Department to get confirmation that this use would be compatible with the zoning. A letter was received by the TRCA from the Town of Caledon confirming that this use is permitted under the current Open Space designation under the Zoning By-law.

An agreement has been reached with the Bolton Wanderers Soccer Club. TRCA is entering into a five year lease commencing November 1, 2009 at a monthly rental rate of $1,200.00, plus all utilities and renovation costs. The Bolton Wanderers Soccer Club will be taking the dwelling in an "as is" condition and is prepared to undertake necessary renovations to the dwelling.

RATIONALE The rental home became available for rent shortly after TRCA received the request from the Bolton Wanderers Soccer Club to possibly rent this building. Upon inspection of the dwelling it was determined that the home required a considerable amount of work before it could be put back on the market. As part of the negotiations, the Bolton Wanderers Soccer Club indicated that they would be prepared to undertake all necessary renovations to the home, at no cost to TRCA. Also, since the home is located just north of the Jack Garrett soccer fields, it was felt that this would be a compatible use.

FINANCIAL DETAILS The Bolton Wanderers Soccer Club will be paying $1,200 per month, plus all utilities and renovation costs of approximately $34,000. The rental rate is slightly below market since the Club will be spending approximately $34,000 in renovations. At the end of the five year term, the rental rate will be reviewed.

EX10.1 863 REYTAN BOULEVARD To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure on Lot 704, Plan M-11, (863 Reytan Boulevard), in the City of Pickering, Frenchman's Bay Watershed.

The purpose is to construct an addition to an existing rear yard garage within a Regulated Area associated with the flood plain of the Krosno Creek, a tributary within the Frenchman's Bay Watershed.

The permit will be issued for the period of November 6, 2009 to November 5, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

1062 z Plan of Survey showing sketch of garage addition within lot boundaries, received by TRCA on October 13, 2009; z 'New Top View' sketch showing plan view of existing garage and proposed expansion, received by TRCA on October 13, 2009.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: The applicant seeks permission in order to construct an addition to an existing detached rear yard garage on a residential lot within the Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with Krosno Creek. The subject lands are located on the east side of Reytan Boulevard within the Bay Ridges Neighbourhood of Pickering, which is located on the east side of Frenchman's Bay south of Highway 401. The existing garage is 52 square metres in area. The proposed expansion is 89.19 square metres in area for a total garage size of 141.19 square metres.

Control of Flooding: During the development of the Bay Ridges neighbourhood in the 1960's the Krosno Creek was straightened and placed within a concrete channel. This channel does not adequately convey the flood waters of the Regional Storm resulting in a large Regional Storm Flood Plain that extends far beyond the channel into the residential area. The subject lands are located within this flood plain despite being over 65 metres to the east of the Krosno Creek channel.

TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program provides policy direction to the expansion of ancillary structures such as garages that are located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Ancillary structures are permitted in the Regional Storm Flood Plain provided that the proposal will not result in unacceptable impacts to flood storage and conveyance; not aggravate flooding in the adjacent area and minimize property damage. Staff have reviewed this policy direction against the proposal and find it to be acceptable. Due to the size and location of the structure it is expected to have a negligible impact upon the control of flooding.

Pollution: Due to the separation of the subject lands from the Krosno Creek, siltation and erosion concerns are not present.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: There are no slope stability or geotechnical concerns, as the site does not contain and is not adjacent to any slopes.

Conservation of Land: The garage is to be expanded with an existing manicured rear yard. There are no conservation of land concerns.

1063 Plantings No plantings were made a requirement of this proposal.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 E), Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures, of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The site is located south of Uxbridge-Pickering Townline Road, east of Old Brock Road in the City of Pickering.

Violation: The addition and deck have been constructed in the absence of a TRCA permit and without municipal building approval. The owner has submitted this application at the request of TRCA staff in order to rectify the situation, and in order to acquire a municipal building permit.

Control of Flooding: The proposed development is not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, and will not affect the conveyance or storage of flood waters.

1064 Pollution: Sediment control fencing would have been required as part of this permit due to the structure's location approximately 20-30 metres from a wetland. However, because the work has already been completed, imposing sediment and erosion controls at this point would be redundant.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: The proposed structures will not negatively affect slope stability or create additional erosion hazards.

Conservation of Land: The proposal is located within a wetland area of interference, but is well removed from the wetland itself. The area of disturbance is sparsely vegetated, and no vegetation removals were necessary to accommodate construction.

Plantings No restoration plantings are required.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 2.1 (Natural Heritage) and Section 2.2 (Water) of the Provincial Policy Statement, 2005.

EX10.3 1546 WILLOWSIDE COURT To site grade and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere on Lot 7, Plan M-1197, (1546 Willowside Court), in the City of Pickering, Waterfront Watershed.

The purpose is to construct an in-ground pool with landscaping and retaining structures in the rear yard of an existing dwelling.

The permit will be issued for the period of November 6, 2009 to November 5, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: z Drawing No. L-1 Layout Plan, prepared by Marius Ois & Associates Inc., dated June 2009, received June 29, 2009.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

1065 Proposal: The applicant proposes to construct an in-ground pool with paved decking and armour stone retaining structures in the rear yard of an existing dwelling located entirely within the Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with the Krosno Creek. The property is located on the east side of Sandy Beach Road, south of Bayly street within a developed subdivision. The subject lands are surrounded by residential lots to the east and Sandy Beach Road to the west. The parcel does not abut the Krosno Creek, which is located beyond two residential lots to the east.

TRCA staff have consulted with City of Pickering staff with respect to how the proposal might affect drainage from Sandy Beach Road and the rear yard drainage of adjacent private landowners. City staff do not have any concerns with the proposed grading changes. Finally, given the extent of grade alteration proposed abutting neighbouring properties, the owner was requested by TRCA staff to demonstrate consent from adjacent landowners. The owner has provided two letters from adjacent neighbours stating acceptance of the proposal.

Control of Flooding: The proposed pool and retaining structures will require approximately 117 cubic metres of fill. As noted above, the rear yard of the lot where the works are proposed is within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. An adjacent neighbour has previously constructed a pool, filling and a retaining wall. A second neighbour adjacent to the property has also placed fill and constructed a retaining wall. Given these adjacent development activities, the fully developed nature of the surrounding lands and that the site is in the shallow flooding zone on the fringe of the flood plain, it is engineering staff's opinion that the need for a formal hydraulic impact assessment in support of the proposed works would likely be academic.

Pollution: The proposed works are adequately separated from the wetland and watercourse, and therefore sediment and erosion control fencing is not required.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: There are no geotechnical concerns with the proposed works.

Conservation of Land: The proposed works are located within an urbanized area absent of natural features.

Plantings No plantings are required as a part of this permit.

Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are consistent with Section 4.2.2. E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures - of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to conduct a Stage II archaeological investigation as part of the site investigations needed to inform the detailed design of Shaft 6/7 for the Southeast Collector sanitary trunk sewer. The works are subject to the warmwater fisheries timing window of July 1 - March 30 and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada..

The permit will be issued for the period of November 6, 2009 to November 5, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: z Letter of Undertaking to provide revisions to engineering and landscape documents to the satisfaction of TRCA staff and to provide landowner authorizations for works in the regulated area outside the Regional Municipality of York Right of Way; dated October 26, 2009; received October 27, 2009; prepared by Regional Municipality of York.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: The Regional Municipality of York is required to undertake archaeological investigations in support of the detailed design of the Southeast Collector Sanitary Trunk Sewer (for reference, please see CFN 32992). Although the Individual Environmental Assessment (IEA) for the Southeast Collector project has yet to receive approval from the Ministry of the Environment, it is recognized that the archaeological investigation for the proposed Shaft 6/7 compound is required to inform proper infrastructure siting and design of the compound should the IEA be approved. The works involve the excavation of approximately the top foot of topsoil by a gradeall excavator for the proposed compound footprint. Following each row of topsoil removal, the topsoil is replaced prior to commencing the next row. A commitment has been made by the Regional Municipality of York to remove the proposed erosion and sediment controls required to stabilize this site in the spring, should the Southeast Collector Sanitary Trunk Sewer project not be approved by the Ministry of the Environment. At this point, the control of the property is to be returned to the tenant farmer for crop production.

Control of Flooding: No adverse impacts to the storage or conveyance of flood waters were anticipated as a result of this project

1067 Pollution: Standard sediment and erosion control measures will be implemented and maintained for the duration of construction and until the site is stabilized and restored in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering the watercourse.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: There are no slope stability/geotechnical concerns associated with the proposed archaeology works.

Conservation of Land: With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, and the works conducted during the warmwater (July 1 to March 30) timing window, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The proposed works will impact no significant terrestrial resource features.

Plantings Plantings and site restoration will form part of future requirements for the proposed Shaft 6/7 construction compound for the Southeast Collector Sanitary Trunk Sewer. Should the IEA not be approved, the site is to be restored in the spring.

Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: The purpose is to construct an inground pool, cabana and landscape works within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed. Based upon a site visit conducted by TRCA staff on October 19, 2009, the existing top-of-bank of a 2.5 H : 1V slope feature partially encroaches (approximately 3 metres) onto the subject property near the rear lot line. TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied that the setbacks provided, which are 8 metres from the rear lot line (5 metres from the existing top-of-bank) for the pool and 7 metres from the rear lot line (4 metres from the top-of-bank) for any hardsurface patio space, are sufficient and will not cause erosion or destabilize the slope.

The area of the proposed works are currently a disturbed sodded area devoid of any significant vegetation. The valley wall beyond the rear fence line is heavily vegetated and in a natural state. The proposed works will not result in any loss of significant vegetation and there will be no impacts on the adjacent valley lands.

Control of Flooding: The proposed works are not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. There will be no impacts on the storage or conveyance of flood waters.

Pollution: Sediment control fencing will be erected for the duration of construction to prevent the migration of sediment into the adjacent valley feature.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied that the proposed works are adequately setback from the top-of-bank and will not destabilize or cause erosion of the slope feature.

Conservation of Land: As a watercourse is not impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will result. There are no other significant natural features on or adjacent to the site that may be negatively impacted by the project.

1086 Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored to the existing sodded condition and will not affect any significant natural features.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: The proposed works are classified as "Emergency Works" since the material that entered the warm water tributary of the Upper Humber River system as a result of a major storm event have caused a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) to fish habitat. The Regional Municipality of York is undertaking a voluntary restoration to address this HADD. The works involve the removal of rip rap and sediment from the watercourse as well as the re-establishment of the watercourse channel. Fish will temporarily be removed from a coffer dammed section of the channel while sediments are removed by manual labour. A fish collection permit from the Ministry of Natural Resources was obtained. As the storm event resulted in the overtopping of a stormwater management pond on the north side of Rutherford Road and drained to the south side resulting in the washing away of rip rap and sediment to the watercourse, the Regional Municipality of York is pursuing an embankment stabilization design to prevent future sediment releases to this watercourse.

Control of Flooding: No adverse impacts to the storage or conveyance of flood waters were anticipated as a result of this project.

Pollution: Standard sediment and erosion control measures will be implemented and maintained for the duration of construction and until the site is stabilized and restored in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering the watercourse.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: There are no slope stability/geotechnical concerns associated with the proposed repair works.

Conservation of Land: With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the voluntary restoration to address the HADD will proceed without additional impact to the natural heritage system. The proposed works will impact no significant terrestrial resource features.

Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored with native/non-invasive species following construction. 1088 Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Proposal: The proposal is to partially remove an existing on-line dam and pond and implement erosion control works in or adjacent to the Carruthers Creek on the Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facility located west of Audley Road North and north of Taunton Road in the Town of Ajax. The existing dam was constructed many years ago as an aesthetic feature to the Deer Creek Golf Course and was recently repaired after damage in the August 2005 storm. However, the dam continues to deteriorate due to flows in the Carruthers Creek and it has been determined that partially removing the dam and installing a series of cascades will provide a net gain to fish habitat while retaining the aesthetics desired by the Golf and Banquet Facility membership. Once the dam is removed a channel will evolve naturally in the bed of the lowered pond and wetlands should develop in the previously flooded area surrounding the new channel. In addition, the proposal includes thirty-eight (38) minor soft bank treatments along various segments of the Carruthers Creek. These include minor regrading of the banks and replanting the bank with native trees, shrubs and/or seed mix.

Conditional Permit: This permit is conditional upon the implementation of the detailed Monitoring Program included in the Technical Design Brief.

Control of Flooding: The proposal is designed to convey flood flows and volumes, and will have no impact on the storage and conveyance of floodwaters.

Pollution: Temporary sediment control has been provided per the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area Conservation Authorities, Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction. These controls include working in the dry, sediment control fencing and a phasing plan.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: The proposal is designed to reduce, but not completely eliminate, future erosion along the watercourse, given the constraints of an existing golf course design.

Conservation of Land: The proposal will result in a net gain to fish habitat. With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The works will be constructed during the warm water timing window. There will be no impact on the conservation of land.

Plantings Native tree, shrub and seed mix plantings will be provided along the riparian edges of the watercourse. 1090 Policy Guidelines: The works are consistent with Section 4.2.2., Existing Resource Based Uses, of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed in order to facilitate grading and the installation of servicing infrastructure associated with the proposed commercial development. The majority of the development is located on the tableland portion of the subject property that is not regulated by the TRCA. However, a portion of the proposed grading works and servicing infrastructure related to this project is proposed to occur within the regulated portion of the subject site. The infrastructure works involve the construction of two outfalls, one being a clean water roof outlet and the other a stormwater outfall.

The outfall structure is required in order to convey clean stormwater from the rooftop to an infiltration gallery on ground level, with the excess water being dispersed into the adjacent tributary. The second outfall is to convey regular stormwater from the site and will achieve sufficient water quality through treatment from on-site sustainable initiatives such as bio-swales. The outfall structure has been designed in accordance with TRCA's guidelines. For instance, the headwall is sufficiently setback from the nearby watercourse feature and flows have been designed to dissipate via enhanced plantings surrounding the headwall to mitigate erosion. All stormwater released into the valley corridor will be adequately treated in accordance with our stormwater management criteria. This project includes the construction/implementation of sustainable technologies beyond the standards set out in the Box Grove Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP). In addition, a restoration planting plan has been submitted with this project. The plantings are proposed at the outlet location and within the valley corridor to achieve an ecological net gain for this reach of the Rouge River Watershed. All proposed buildings are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain and sufficiently setback from the valley corridor. No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction.

Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, no impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated.

Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion controls will be installed and maintained throughout all phases of construction. 1093 Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns related to this application.

Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. There are no fisheries related concerns associated with this project.

Plantings Although no significant vegetation will be removed as a result of the proposed works, an extensive enhancement planting plan has been submitted with this application. All proposed plant species are native and non-invasive consistent with TRCA's guidelines.

Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.1 - New Development - of the Authority's Valley and Stream corridor Management Program. (VSCMP) The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's VSCMP.

Proposal: The purpose is to conduct site grading and landscape works in order to construct a local road, a stormwater management pond and vegetative buffer area within a Regulated Area of the Humber River watershed. The subject property contains a number of natural features including a watercourse with associated Regional Storm Flood Plain area, an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) - Life Science and Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) as determined by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), and an Environmentally Significant Area (ESA) as determined by TRCA.

As part of the associated Draft Plan of Subdivision process (19T-84029 - Robintide Farms) approved in August 2005, the limits of development were defined by the TRCA and a 30 metre buffer was applied. The proposed landscape works represent the naturalization and restoration of this buffer area to create an enhanced buffer between the residential uses and the natural features. The grading works include the creation of a storm water management pond which will be located between the buffer and the residential development. Through the Draft Plan of Subdivision process, TRCA water resources are satisfied that the proposed works will provide adequate stormwater quantity and quality control. Additionally, TRCA ecology staff are satisfied that the proposed buffer and restoration works provide an enhanced buffer between the proposed residential uses and the adjacent natural features.

Control of Flooding: The proposed works are not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. There will be no impacts on the storage or conveyance of flood waters.

1104 Pollution: Erosion sediment control measures will be implemented on an overall site basis as well as on a lot by lot basis upon commencement of individual lot development. Such measures will ensure that sediment will not migrate into the adjacent buffer areas and natural features.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: There are no geotechnical issues associated with this application.

Conservation of Land: As a watercourse will not be impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will result. The PSW and other natural features on the subject property have been sufficiently buffered from the proposed residential uses and there will be no impacts on any significant natural features on or adjacent to the site.

Plantings A 30 metre wide buffer strip between the proposed residential uses and the natural features on the subject property will create an enhanced buffer that will ensure the long-term integrity of these natural features. The buffer is to be planted with native, non-invasive plantings and result in a net ecological gain over existing conditions.

EX10.38 HICKORY HILLS INVESTMENTS INC.- GREAT GULF GROUP To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, site grade, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere and interfere with a wetland on Lot 2, Concession 3, (12605 Keele Street), in the Township of King, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Hickory Hills Investments Inc. - Great Gulf Group.

The purpose is to conduct site grading on the subject lands, in order to construct an interim sediment pond and to facilitate the development and construction of a residential subdivision.

The permit will be issued for the period of November 6, 2009 to November 5, 2011. z Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Alan Kimble, Sabourin Kimble & Associates, dated November 4, 2009, received by TRCA on November 4, 2009.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: The proposal is to conduct site grading works, in order to construct an interim sediment pond and to facilitate the development and construction of a residential subdivision on the subject lands. The subject site is located east of Keele Street, south of King Road, in the King City East Community, in the Township of King. The subject lands form part of the King City East Community, where there is an approved Functional Servicing/Development Area Study (FS/DAS) in place.

1113 The proposed works will proceed in three phases. The first phase involves the construction of a temporary sediment control pond which is located in the same location as the ultimate stormwater management facility. This pond is required prior to the initiation of grading works on the site, which represents the second phase of the proposed works. Grading for the subdivision will also be carried out in stages, with the eastern side of the site being topsoil stripped and graded first. Grading will then proceed westward, and be completed as the residential development moves forward.

The third and final phase represents the construction and development of single-family residential dwellings on site. The grading works and development lots are located entirely on the tableland portions of the site and outside of the previously established buffers from the natural features on the property. This includes wetlands, valleyland open space features as well as tributaries of the Humber River. In addition, a heronry is located to the east of the subdivision, however, a minimum 120 metre buffer has been provided from the heronry. In order to minimize any impacts on the heronry, grading works will take place outside of the nesting window and take place within the fall/winter months.

Previously, as part of the FS/DAS and the associated Draft Plan of Subdivision application process, TRCA staff identified and established the limits of the natural features on the site. A 30 metre buffer from the natural features was implemented, which is consistent with the King City Community Plan (KCCP) and the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP). The proposed works will facilitate the development of a residential subdivision on the site and fulfill a condition of draft plan approval for the King Dufferin subdivision.

Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Humber River. As such, the storage and conveyance of flood waters will not be negatively impacted by the proposal.

Pollution: Erosion and sediment control measures including silt fencing will be erected around the work site to ensure that sediment does not migrate into the nearby wetland areas and watercourses. These measures will be maintained for the duration of the construction works.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: Erosion will be minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned erosion and sediment control measures.

Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical/slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. There will be no in-water works and as such, the adjacent watercourse and fish habitat will not be impacted.

1114 Plantings Plantings of native, non-invasive species will take place as part of the overall development of the subdivision and as part of the edge management plan (EMP) for the site. This EMP will be submitted by the applicant prior to the registration of the subdivision.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

1125 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: The purpose of this application is to initiate earthworks, topsoil stripping, and servicing within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Etobicoke Creek Watershed associated with Phase 2 of the proposed Chinguacousy Farms residential plan of subdivision located east of Highway 410, south of Sandalwood Parkway, in the City of Brampton. The subject property is located within the Sandringham-Wellington Secondary Plan area in the City of Brampton. The draft plan of subdivision was approved by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) on November 18, 2008. TRCA staff provided conditions of approval for this subdivision that were included in the in the OMB decision.

Phase 2 of the proposed Chinguacousy Farms subdivision is located north of Phase 1 lands for which a permit application is also being considered at the November 6, 2009 TRCA Executive Committee meeting. The two phases are bisected by a headwater tributary of the Etobicoke Creek located along the south portion of the subject phase. The proposed topsoil stripping and earthworks are partially located within the regulated portion of the property and are located adjacent to the stream corridor. Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed prior to any proposed works initiating on site, including a temporary sediment pond and associated outfall structure designed in accordance with TRCA's guidelines. Post-development stormwater quality and quantity control will be treated by the existing Dixie-Bovaird stormwater facility as per the approved Master Servicing Plan for the Secondary Plan Area. An outfall is proposed with this application for servicing this phase of the subdivision and has been designed in accordance with TRCA's guidelines. The proposed grading works and temporary pond are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, there are no flooding concerns with this application. In addition, there are no ecology or geotechnical concerns with this application. A comprehensive planting plan for the proposed channel works has been reviewed by TRCA staff and will be a component of a future permit for the renaturalization of the tributary that traverses the property.

Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, no impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated.

Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed and maintained during all phases of construction.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns related to this application.

1126 Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. Although there are no fisheries related concerns associated with this proposal, a Letter of Advice (LOA) will be provided on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) for both the temporary and permanent stormwater management outfalls proposed.

Plantings A comprehensive planting plan for the Etobicoke Creek tributary is to be provided, and implemented as a condition of the approval of this subdivision. The details of this plan have been reviewed by staff and will be implemented through a future permit related to the renaturalization of the tributary on site.

TOWNSHIP OF KING

EX10.70 8065 16TH SIDEROAD To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, site grade and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere on Lot 15, Concession 11, (8065 16th Sideroad), in the Township of King, Humber River Watershed.

The purpose is to allow development within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a new two-storey single-family dwelling with walkout basement, an attached five-car garage, a detached carport, a swimming pool and cabana, a private septic system, a well, a geothermal heating/cooling system, and associated landscaping features at 8065 16th Sideroad in the Township of King.

The permit will be issued for the period of November 6, 2009 to November 5, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: z Letter of Undertaking indicating that the owners agree to provide any and all minor revisions to the plans to the satisfaction of the TRCA and that they understand works cannot commence within the regulated portion of the property until the TRCA permit is issued, signed by the owner, dated October 29, 2009, received by the TRCA on November 2, 2009.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: The purpose of this application is to allow development within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a new two-storey single-family dwelling with walkout basement, an attached five-car garage, a detached carport, a swimming pool and cabana, a private septic system, a well, a geothermal heating/cooling system, and associated landscaping features at 8065 16th Sideroad in the Township of King. A permit for these works was previously approved by the Executive Committee on June 1, 2007 (Permit No. C-07300). Works began after the issuance of the first permit and ceased after the permit expired on May 31, 2009. The applicant was asked to forward a new permit application to TRCA staff in order to continue with the works.

1132 There have been minor changes to the proposed development since the works were first approved by the Executive Committee, including the inclusion of the geothermal heating/cooling system, minor adjustments to the locations of the amenity uses, and enhanced erosion and sediment control measures to address deficiencies noted by TRCA staff on the site.

Resculpting of the site was permitted under the original permit issued by the TRCA in consultation with the Township of King. All site grading and filling associated with the proposed works continues to be set back at least 30 metres from the natural features, the most notable being the watercourse that traverses the central portion of the site.

Conditional Approval: Prior to the release of the permit, the following will need to be addressed to the satisfaction of the TRCA in consultation with the Township of King: the provision of appropriate erosion and sediment controls in the site's current state and over the course of the development project in order to ensure stabilization of the site, the final grades for the project, an outline of the number of truckloads of fill material that need to be brought on the site to meet the final approved grades, the timeframe in which the fill will be brought on the site, the quality of the remaining fill material to be brought on-site, measures proposed to ensure infiltration of precipitation over the site, additional information on the installation and operation of the geothermal heating/cooling system.

Control of Flooding: The development is not located within the Regional Storm flood plain. There has and will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters.

Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures were installed after the issuance of the first permit. However, based on site visits conducted by TRCA staff, the sediment and erosion control measures on-site were lacking or poorly maintained, which allowed the release of sediment to the adjacent natural features. The applicant is working with TRCA staff to enhance and maintain the erosion and sediment control measures on the site until the work area is stabilized. The applicant has also been asked to remove the sediment from the bottom of the slope and the impacted vegetated areas.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: Based on site visits conducted by TRCA staff, erosion was noted on the newly placed fill and there was evidence of sediment transport to the natural features due to lacking or poorly maintained erosion and sediment control measures. With the expected enhancements to the erosion and sediment control measures on the site, as requested by TRCA staff, it is expected that there will be no further geotechnical, slope stability or erosion issues associated with the development. Site grading plans and geotechnical reports have been submitted to the satisfaction of TRCA staff.

1133 Conservation of Land: The stabilization and restoration of the site is intended to reduce the impacts to the conservation of land.

Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored with seed upon completion of the works. Additional plantings of native, non-invasive species will occur adjacent to the watercourse and to the rear of the lot. A detailed landscape plan has been submitted to the satisfaction of TRCA staff.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.2 - Existing Development - of the Authority’s Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.
