Section I – Items for Authority Action

TO: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #10/17, Friday, December 15, 2017

FROM: Mike Fenning, Associate Director, Property and Risk Management

RE: REQUEST FOR DISPOSAL OF TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY LAND 14 Pickering/Scarborough Townline, City of Toronto, Rouge River Watershed CFN 33517 ______KEY ISSUE Receipt of a request from Melissa Preston and Laura Alderson, Co-Executors of Joyce Scott’s Estate, (former tenant of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority) to consider the sale of a portion of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority owned land located at 14 Pickering/Scarborough Townline, City of Toronto, Rouge River watershed.

RECOMMENDATION

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) owned property at 14 Pickering/Scarborough Townline, in the City of Toronto, be retained in TRCA ownership until such time as it is conveyed to Parks Canada for the Rouge Urban National Park.

BACKGROUND In July 2017, TRCA was approached by Melissa Preston and Laura Alderson, Co-Executors of Joyce Scott’s Estate, (former tenant of TRCA) to consider the sale of a portion of TRCA land located at 14 Pickering/Scarborough Townline, City of Toronto, Rouge River watershed.

At Executive Committee Meeting #6/17, held on August 11, 2017, Resolution #B68/17 was approved as follows:

THAT the potential disposal of a portion of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) owned property located at 14 Pickering/Scarborough Townline, City of Toronto, be referred to TRCA staff for review and discussion in accordance with established TRCA policies.

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

This request was circulated to staff at Parks Canada, Ministry of Infrastructure, Infrastructure Ontario, City of Toronto, TRCA Planning and Development staff, and TRCA legal counsel for review and comment in accordance with TRCA’s Disposal Policy. The following comments have been received:

Parks Canada Parks Canada welcomed the opportunity to provide input on the request to purchase the 14 Pickering Townline property. While Parks Canada mentioned they were sympathetic to the personal circumstances of the Scott family, those circumstances and past land use decisions and transactions predate Parks Canada’s involvement in these lands by decades.

8 Item 7.1

Parks Canada indicated in their correspondence that if, as planned, the property becomes part of the country’s first ever national urban park, this land would assuredly be protected from development for generations to come as part of Rouge National Urban Park, and it would contribute to the critical goal of connecting park land from the Oak Ridges Moraine to Lake Ontario.

The property also has significant ecological features that Parks Canada would work to protect and enhance. For instance, a stretch of Petticoat Creek – near the headwaters – runs through the property and would benefit from Rouge National Urban Park’s aquatic habitat restoration program. In addition to the waterway, the property sits adjacent to one of the rare remnants of interior forest in Rouge National Urban Park.

Parks Canada also indicated that heritage properties of this kind also contribute to the story of the Rouge Valley – a story Parks Canada intends to bring to light through it interpretive programs and materials. The unprecedented opportunity to add these public lands to Rouge National Urban Park – a project long supported by all levels of government – would afford the property with its strongest ever natural and cultural protections and serve as a fitting homage to all prior stewards of these compelling lands.

Infrastructure Ontario and Ministry of Infrastructure Infrastructure Ontario in their comments indicated the subject property is part of PIN 06053-0394 (LT) which was expropriated by the Minister of Housing, Province of Ontario on February 4th, 1974. The compensation provided for the subject property at the time was in the amount of $365,610 (inclusive of the settlement price for the property, compensation for all inconvenience and entitlements and interest).

The property was later transferred to the Ontario Land Corporation and on March 31, 1987 was transferred to Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Ontario as represented by the Minister of Government Service. On May 26th, 2003, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, successor to the Minister of Housing, approved the sale and disposal of certain lands, including this property, situated within the Rouge Park Lands without giving the owner from whom the land was expropriated the first chance to repurchase the land. This is referred to as a Section 42 Waiver.

The lands were transferred to the TRCA for a nominal sum on March 31, 2004 for the purpose of the establishment of the Rouge Park. In the transfer to TRCA, the Province retained interests in the Lands being: a first right of refusal (right to repurchase) for the Province to reacquire the Lands if the TRCA moved to dispose of the Lands; and, a conservation easement in the Province’s favour.

The Minister of Infrastructure transferred Ontario’s interests in the Lands to Parks Canada for the Rouge National Urban Park effective October 21, 2017. It is understood that the TRCA has entered into agreements with the federal government to contribute the Lands to the federal government at nominal value to the Rouge National Urban Park. When the federal government receives the Lands from the TRCA, the interests that the Province has transferred to the federal government will merge with the ownership.

IO is not aware of any properties expropriated in the Rouge National Urban Park area that have been sold back to the original owners.

9 Item 7.1

City of Toronto Staff This property is designated as Natural Areas in the Official Plan and Open Space in the Zoning By-law.

The property is located within the area subject to the Toronto Official Plan Site and Area Specific Policy 141: Rouge Valley Area. Policy c) states:

To ensure the continued maintenance of the area by public agencies, the division of lands by consent and/or the sale or disposal of will be prohibited, unless; a. The land is being conveyed to TRCA or Parks Canada for parks or conservation purposes; or b. The land is being conveyed to the City, for infrastructure approved by Council, or to the owner of existing or approved infrastructure.

The property is partially located within the Official Plan natural heritage system. If consent is required, Policy 3.4.11 c) would apply: 11. Consents to sever land or approval of plans of subdivision will not be permitted for any parcel of land that is entirely within or part of the natural heritage system, unless: a. The land is being conveyed to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority or other public agencies; b. The land is within an approved Special Policy Area; or c. The assessment of the impacts to the natural heritage system has been satisfactorily completed.

Section 4.3.8 of the Toronto Official Plan States, “The sale or disposal of publicly owned lands in Parks and Open Space Areas is discouraged and no City owned lands in Parks and Open Space Areas will be sold or disposed of.”

In addition, Rouge Park is designated as Open Space as well as Natural Areas. Section 4.3.3 of the OP states “the areas shown as Natural Areas on Maps 13-23 will be maintained primarily in a natural state, while allowing for:

a) Compatible recreational, cultural and education uses and facilities that minimize adverse impacts on natural feature and functions; and b) Conservation projects, public transit, public works and utilities for which no reasonable alternatives are available, and that are designed to have only minimal adverse impacts on natural features and functions.”

A 3.44m widening is required by the City along the frontage of this property to satisfy the requirement of a 27m wide right-of-way for this section of Pickering/Scarborough Townline.

City staff would strongly discourage the sale of this property as it is a part of Toronto’s Green Space System.

10 Item 7.1

TRCA staff The requested parcel for disposal encompasses a main tributary of the Petticoat Creek valleylands, including a floodplain and an erosion hazard associated with watercourse. The valleylands form part of the natural system and are contiguous with the Provincially Significant Townline Swamp Wetland Complex to the south. A portion of the requested parcel, located south of the existing dwelling and between the valleylands and the road are identified as a cultural meadow.

TRCA is responsible for providing comments of behalf of the Province of Ontario with respect to Natural Hazard and Natural Feature policies contained in the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 (PPS, 2014). The property is located within an erosion hazard which is considered a natural hazard as defined in the PPS. The proposal seeks to sever the existing parcel in order to create a new lot, with the boundary extending across the Petticoat Creek valleylands. The PPS includes "the creation of a new lot" within its definition of “development.” Section 3.1.2(c) of the PPS provides that development shall not be permitted in lands subject to flooding or an erosion hazard.

The property is also partially within the Natural Heritage System as shown in Map 9 of the City of Toronto’s Official Plan (OP), 2002. Section 2.1.5 and 2.1.8 of the PPS provides that development shall not be permitted within or adjacent to a significant valleylands or significant woodlands unless it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or their ecological function.

TRCA is the City of Toronto’s partner in managing the natural environment. Section 3.4 of the City’s OP provides policies for development within or near natural hazards and lands containing the natural heritage system. The west portion of the requested parcel contains a valley feature. Policy 8 of the City’s OP states that development will be set back at least 10 metres from the top of bank and other locations where slope instability, flooding or physical conditions are present.

The property is within the natural heritage system as shown in Map 9 the OP. The natural heritage system is made up of areas where protecting, restoring and enhancing the natural features and functions should have high priority in our city-building decisions. Policy 11 of the OP states that consents to sever land will not be permitted for any parcel of land that is within or part of the natural heritage system unless the lands are to be conveyed to public ownership and a study has been provided to assess a development’s impact on the system.

The Living City Policies for Planning and Development in the Watersheds of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (LCP) guides TRCA’s role as an approval authority under Ontario Regulation 166/06, as amended, and as an advisor to municipalities under the Planning Act with respect to natural heritage and natural hazards. For the latter role, TRCA has a provincially delegated responsibility to uphold the provincial interest in protecting life and property from natural hazards such as flooding and erosion. Because the subject property contains part of the Petticoat Creek valley corridor, the LCP applies to this application.

The LCP describes a “Natural System” as being made up of natural features and areas. Water resources, natural hazards, potential natural cover and/or buffers. The LCP recommends that development not be permitted within the Natural System and that it be conveyed into public ownership for its long term protection and enhancement.

11 Item 7.1

This request for disposal seeks to sever TRCA-owned lands that encompass a flooding hazard, erosion hazard and part of the natural heritage system. The creation of a new lot within the natural heritage system and where natural hazards are present is not permitted under the PPS, City of Toronto OP, or TRCA’s LCP. In addition, the various policy documents encourage the long-term protection and enhancement of the natural heritage system and protect hazard lands through public ownership.

TRCA Legal Counsel Section 42 of the Expropriations Act states: “Where lands that have been expropriated and are in the possession of the expropriating authority are found by the expropriating authority to be no longer required for its purposes, the expropriating authority shall not, without the approval of the approving authority, dispose of the lands without giving the owners from whom the land was taken the first chance to repurchase the lands on the terms of the best offer received by the expropriating authority.”

In the case of 14 Pickering/Scarborough Townline, the Minister of Housing for the Province of Ontario was the expropriating authority. The first few lines of section 42 provides for an obligation to convey if the original expropriated authority is still in possession of the lands subject to certain terms and conditions. Since TRCA was not the original expropriated authority, Section 42 giving the first right to repurchase to the owner from whom the land was first taken would not apply.

Moreover, when TRCA acquired the land in 2004 the expropriating authority had already obtained the waiver under Section 42 giving it the right to convey to TRCA. Accordingly, the provision allowing for conveyance to the former owner which is found in section 42 would also for this reason not be applicable.

For these reasons, TRCA would have no obligation to honour a request for a repurchase.

RATIONALE Staff has reviewed and considered all internal and external comments and is recommending that the land be retained until such time as they are conveyed to Parks Canada for the Rouge Urban National Park, for the following reasons:

 The property was transferred to TRCA by the Province of Ontario on March 31, 2004 for Rouge Park purposes;  The Province of Ontario retained an Option to Purchase/First Right of Refusal over all the lands transferred in 2004 including the subject property which option was transferred to Parks Canada on October 21, 2017 and TRCA must offer the property back to the holder of the Option to Purchase/First Right of Refusal if considering disposal;  The property is included in the Memorandum of Agreement Respecting the Assembly of Lands for the Proposed Rouge National Urban Park and will be transferred to Parks Canada;  The property requested for disposal encompasses a main tributary of the Petticoat Creek, including floodplain and erosion hazard associated with watercourse;  The valleylands form part of the natural system and are contiguous with the Provincially Significant Townline Swamp Wetland Complex to the south;  This property is designated as Natural Areas in the City’s Official Plan and Open Space in the City’s Zoning By-law;

12 Item 7.1

 The creation of a new lot within the natural heritage system and where natural hazards are present is not permitted under the PPS, City of Toronto OP, or TRCA’s LCP.

Section I – Items for Authority Action

TO: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #10/17, Friday, December 15, 2017

FROM: Mike Fenning, Associate Director, Property and Risk Management

RE: REQUEST FOR DISPOSAL OF TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY LAND 4156 Dundas Street West, Etobicoke, City of Toronto, Humber River Watershed CFN 45819

KEY ISSUE Recommendation that the subject Toronto and Region Conservation Authority-owned land located north of Dundas Street West and east of Prince Edward Drive, municipally known as 4156 Dundas Street West, Etobicoke, in the City of Toronto, Humber River watershed, be retained in TRCA ownership.

RECOMMENDATION

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority-owned (TRCA) land at 4156 Dundas Street West, Etobicoke, in the City of Toronto, be retained in TRCA ownership at this time;

THAT TRCA staff work with City of Toronto staff to assess the suitability of the subject TRCA land for use as parkland as part of the Dundas Street West Avenue Study and as part of any future redevelopment of surrounding area;

AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to a future Executive Committee meeting on the results of the discussions with City of Toronto staff.

BACKGROUND In November 2010 and March 2011, TRCA was approached by David Rembacz, on behalf of Maria Rembacz, expressing an interest in purchasing a parcel of TRCA land located north of Dundas Street West and east of Prince Edward Drive, municipally known as 4156 Dundas Street West, Etobicoke, in the City of Toronto (the Land). Maria Rembacz is the current owner of the adjoining property at 4158 Dundas Street West.

The Land was conveyed by the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto to TRCA in April, 1967. It is a narrow rectangular parcel with an approximate 12m road frontage to Dundas Street West and is approximately 55m in length. The land is currently managed by the City of Toronto pursuant to the Management Agreement dated June 14, 1961.

The Land is currently used as a driveway and parking lot for the adjacent commercial business. A portion of the land has been developed as a “parkette” with benches and in-ground water features installed by the owner of the adjoining commercial business to the east “Water Arts”. TRCA staff is working with City of Toronto, as manager of the land to resolve the existing encroachments.

The land is burdened by an existing right of way benefiting the western adjoining landowner and an existing sanitary easement to the City of Toronto.

15 Item 7.2

At Executive Committee Meeting #5/11, held on June 10, 2011, Resolution #B96/11 was approved as follows:

THAT the request for disposal of a parcel of land located on the north side of Dundas Street West, east of Prince Edward Drive (vacant land between 4154 and 4158 Dundas Street West), City of Toronto (Etobicoke York Community Council Area) be referred to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff for review and discussion in accordance with established TRCA policies;

AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action.

Attached is a sketch illustrating the location of the subject land.

This request was circulated to staff at the City of Toronto and TRCA staff for review and comment. In accordance with TRCA policy, the following comments have been received and action taken to date:

TRCA staff Planning and Development staff has confirmed that the land is partially located within TRCA’s Regulated Area of the Humber River watershed. The Humber valley slope in this location is extremely steep and affected by toe erosion and active slope failure in select areas. There is a significant hazard along this reach and a 10m buffer must be applied from the long term stable slope line to any new development along this reach, and the valley corridor including the 10 metre buffer should be retained in public ownership.

Staff indicated that there will likely be some developable area, but given the significant hazard, a complete development limits analysis should be done to determine the extent of the valley corridor and the extent of the land that could be sold. This would best take place through a comprehensive geotechnical slope stability study of the entire reach along Dundas Street. The City has completed an Avenue Study for the area; there is considerable development pressure and it is likely that the portion of the lands outside of the natural hazard can be incorporated into a development scheme at some point in the future.

Preliminary geotechnical investigations undertaken by internal TRCA staff estimate that the long term stable slope crest (LTSSC) would be 23m from the existing top of slope, with a further 10m buffer area.

Attached is a sketch illustrating the top of slope, LTSSC and buffer area.

City of Toronto staff The Land is designated Mixed Use Areas in the Official Plan. The land is also subject to Site and Area Specific Policy No. 277 (SASP 277) which was adopted in 2006 to implement the Dundas Street West Avenue Study. The Dundas Street West portion of the site is identified as an Avenue on Map 2 – Urban Structure of the Official Plan. Avenues are areas where growth and reurbanization are intended to occur.

16 Item 7.2

The land is subject to the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code, as amended by By-law No. 717-2006 which is the implementing Zoning By-law for SASP 277. The land is zoned General Commercial – Avenues – Holding (CG-AV-H).

The CG-AV-H zone permits a limited range of residential uses, including apartment houses, dwelling units above business or retail uses and live-work units. Townhouses are not permitted on the north side of Dundas Street West and in the first 60 m of depth on the south side of Dundas Street West. Permitted uses include stores, banks, restaurants, hotels, business and professional offices, service stations and public garages, health centres and athletic clubs.

The CG-AV-H zone includes an "H" Holding Symbol that applies to the subject site. The “H” symbol may be removed by the City of Toronto subject to the satisfactory availability of any road, infrastructure, servicing and school capacity improvements necessary to accommodate the proposed development. Upon fulfillment of these criteria, the “H” symbol can be removed, in whole or in part.

In June 2011, City of Toronto was asked to provide any comments about the request to sell the land. The City undertook an internal circulation to ascertain whether there was any objection to the sale of the land. The only comment back by City Planning Staff was:

“We would not have any issues with the proposed sale of this property from a natural heritage point of view. As with any property of this type, any new development would need to be set back 10m from the stable top of bank. A geographical study would be required to establish stable top of bank; a natural impact study may be required.”

In March 2016, the City of Toronto was asked if they had any interest in the potential sale of the land or were interested in purchasing it. The City responded that they had no interest in purchasing the land.

Prior to engaging with the public, the City was again asked in July 2016 to confirm whether they have any interest in the land. The City confirmed that there was no interest in purchasing it.

Following the public consultation process, TRCA staff also spoke directly with the relevant Parks, Forestry and Recreation planner for the Etobicoke York district. The Parks planner indicated that the City’s priority for this area is to provide direct access to the Humber River. However, given the steep slope and existing erosion hazard, there is no interest in purchasing the land. TRCA and City staff will continue to work together to identify ongoing recreational opportunities and assessment of the land as a parkland as part of future redevelopment of the surrounding area.

Public Consultation  TRCA staff met on-site with the adjoining landowners on February 9, 2017 to discuss the disposal process, upcoming Public Information Session and existing encroachments on the property;  Notice of the Public Information Session was distributed during the week of January 30, 2017 to nearby residents via a Canada Post “letterdrop” service;  A dedicated webpage on the TRCA website and email address for comments and questions was created. The webpage provided general information about the property, process for disposal, relevant contact information and invited the public to attend the Public Information Session;

17 Item 7.2

 Notices of the Public Information Session were distributed to the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department and Councillor Justin Di Ciano and Councillor John Campbell (as the property is located on the ward boundary);  Notices of the Public Information Session were placed in the Etobicoke Guardian and the Toronto Star on February 2, 2017;  A Public Information Session was held on February 16, 2017, at Lambton House, 4066 Old Dundas Street, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.;  An information package was distributed at the Public Information Session and the public was invited to ask questions and provide any comments to TRCA by March 2, 2017. Seven submissions were received by TRCA.

A summary of the submissions received by the public are attached.

RATIONALE Staff has reviewed and considered all public submissions and internal and external technical comments and is recommending that the land be retained at this time for the following reasons:  The land is impacted by geotechnical slope stability concerns with preliminary investigations indicating that over half the land would be in the slope hazard and 10m development buffer, with this portion to be retained in TRCA ownership under The Living City Policies;  At this point, continued ownership by TRCA of the land affected by the slope hazard will ensure the long term protection of the natural features in the area until the LTSSC can be determined; and  Retaining the land will facilitate TRCA staff continuing to work with City of Toronto planning and parks staff to:  identify opportunities for recreation and access to the Humber River;  assess the suitability of the land for use as a parkland as part of the Dundas Street West Avenue Study and as part of any future redevelopment of the surrounding area; and  Retention in the immediate short term as open space/parkette is consistent with the public’s view.

Attachment 3 - Summary of Public comments

Summary

Does not support the sale of this property:

 There is no pressing reason to sell the land at this time.  There are alternate uses of the property as publicly owned land which should take precedence over sale to a private individual or developer. There is a need for new parkland and recreational land at street level on Dundas Street. The property is suitable for use as parkland.  The property is vacant, and is surrounded by heritage-protected properties. Development would create a barrier to the maintenance of these heritage properties as a unified whole. In addition, sale of this land opens the door to developers’ consolidating land packages in the area and then attempting to overturn the Heritage designations of these properties.  If the TRCA’s decision is to sell the property, a covenant should be attached as a condition of sale, specifying that the land must be used for purposes and in a built form which is in harmony with current heritage properties in the same block.

The property in question is close to a huge development on the RONA lands a little further up the street. This may be the only property that offers a "buffer" to put a check on similar developments. Notwithstanding our close access to the Humber River parklands, PLEASE consider retaining this property on the north side of Dundas Street West to allow for a public area that all of the existing and many future residents in the area can enjoy.

New development that is proceeding in the area, including a new condo development adjacent that will have impacts on natural light. This very small parcel of land is very close and gives access to the Humber River parklands, please consider retaining this property on the north side of Dundas Street West to allow for a public area that all of the existing and many future residents in the area can enjoy. This would a benefit to the existing community.

Any “green space” that can be held back from the inevitable intensive development along this stretch of Dundas St. W. will be a huge plus for city planners. This lot is positioned so that it can become a green break, once the inevitable large developments along this stretch of Dundas take place. As larger houses keep being built in this area (with the smaller ones being demolished), along with the office and condo developments, more and more land is being paved over. We need to preserve as much green space as possible: to soak up water run-off, to help the urban tree canopy (many of the trees in this area are coming to the end of their natural lives), and to provide more bird and wildlife protection. Bird life and wildlife in the area has been markedly diminishing over the past few years. It would be morally wrong for the TRCA to sell it now into private ownership instead of using it for the benefit of the municipality at large.

With a few benches and garden shades or gazebo structures, the empty piece of land is ideal for seniors, to go there and relax any time of the day. There are a couple of retirement homes between the Humber River and Royal York. Seniors, especially with limited mobility problems or in wheelchairs, can't walk long distance to the park beside the river. The City should take over the plot of land.

An owner of adjoining property stated they will be affected by what happens on the lot. Would appreciate being informed of what is going to happen with the property and with the opportunity to purchase it.

Does not object to the proposed disposition of the TRCA vacant land and may be interested in purchasing this land if it becomes surplus to the needs of TRCA. Has maintained portions of the property as a park since 1986 at his expense. This maintenance has included snow removal, grass cutting, setting out park benches, and providing additional horticultural vegetation. The neighbourhood considers 4156 Dundas as a local park. If he was to be the successful purchaser, the park like setting would be maintained for a certain period of time. The owners adjoining the 4156 Dundas Street West property should be given consideration during the TRCA process for the sale.

FROM: Mike Fenning, Associate Director, Property and Risk Management

RE: GREENLANDS ACQUISITION PROJECT FOR 2016-2020 Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Humber River Watershed Build Toronto Inc. CFN 55477 ______KEY ISSUE Acquisition of a conservation easement located east of Jane Street and north of St. Clair Avenue West – 200 Rockcliffe Court, in the City of Toronto, Etobicoke York Community Council Area, under the “Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2016-2020,” Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Humber River watershed.

RECOMMENDATION

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT a conservation easement for the protection of the 350 year storm flood plain, containing 0.41 hectares (1.01 acres), more or less, of vacant land, located east of Jane Street and north of St. Clair Avenue West – 200 Rockcliffe Court, said land being Part of Lot 37, Concession 3, FTB, designated as Part 28 on a draft Plan of Survey prepared by Rouse Surveyors Inc., under their Reference No. 17-767-02, dated November 14, 2017, in the City of Toronto, Etobicoke York Community Council Area, be purchased from Build Toronto Inc.;

THAT the purchase price be $2.00;

THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) acquire the conservation easement free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements;

THAT the firm Gardiner Roberts LLP, 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 by TRCA;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take the necessary action to finalize the transaction, including obtaining any necessary approvals and the signing and execution of documents.

BACKGROUND Resolution #A161/15 at Authority Meeting #8/15, held on September 25, 2015, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2016-2020.

Negotiations have been conducted with Mr. Michael Whelan, Vice President, Development, Build Toronto Inc.

Attached is a sketch illustrating the location of the subject lands.

23 Item 7.3

RATIONALE The subject lands fall within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Humber River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2016-2020. Through the review of Consent Application No. B0092/16EYK for commercial development, TRCA staff established the limits of the conservation easement lands (i.e. Part 1on draft Plan of Survey) which are comprised of the 350-year storm flood plain within the Rockcliffe Special Policy Area (SPA).

The northern portion of the site is located within the 350-year storm flood plain and is unsuitable for development as stipulated in the Rockcliffe SPA policies. The SPA recognizes the existing commercial and residential development within the Regulatory (i.e. Regional Storm) flood plain and allows new development/redevelopment in the area outside the 350 year storm flood plain, subject to new structures being adequately flood proofed to above the Regional Storm flood elevation.

Build Toronto Inc. has obtained consent to sever its land holdings at 200 Rockcliffe Court and is currently in the process of selling the severed lot to a commercial business. As described above, the northern portion of the severed lot is undevelopable and, due to its close proximity to the Black Creek flood control channel, the area of the 350-year storm must be kept free and clear of obstructions. As part of the conditions of the consent application and prior to the sale of the subject lot, staff requires that Build Toronto Inc. register a conservation easement on title to the subject lands stipulating that:

 No development, parking or outside storage will be permitted within the 350-year storm flood plain;  The 350-year storm area will either be planted with native, low growing shrubs and grasses or seeded/sodded with grass and, in either case, will be maintained in perpetuity by the landowner and all future owners, successors, assigns, etc.;  The 350-year storm area will be kept clean of waste in perpetuity by the landowner and all future owners, successors, assigns, etc.; and  TRCA will have the ability to enter and use the 350-year storm area for inspection and flood control purposes, including any development or infrastructure required for flood control.

TAXES AND MAINTENANCE The lands subject to the conservation easement will be transferred into private ownership. As such, the new owner will be responsible for taxes and maintenance.

FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for the costs related to this purchase are available in the TRCA land acquisition capital account.

RECOMMENDATION

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 0.7205 hectares (1.78 acres), more or less, of vacant land, located south of Regional Road 7 and west of Pine Valley Drive, said land being Part of Lot 29, Registrar’s Compiled Plan 9831 and Part of Lot 4, Registered Plan 4319, designated as the “Valleyland” block on the draft Plan A101, Site Plan and Statistics, prepared by Graziani Corazza Architects, dated January 19, 2017 municipally known as 4603 to 4611 Regional Road 7, in the City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, be purchased from Pine Valley (FGH) Inc.;

THAT the purchase price be $2.00;

THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) receive conveyance of the land free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements;

THAT the firm Gowling WLG, 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 by TRCA;

BACKGROUND Resolution #A161/15 at Authority Meeting #8/15, held on September 25, 2015, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2016-2020.

Negotiations have been conducted with Mark McConville, Senior Planner, acting as agent for the owners Pine Valley (FGH) Inc.

Access to the subject lands will be achieved through its frontage off Regional Road 7.

Attached is a sketch illustrating the location of the subject lands.

26 Item 7.4

RATIONALE The subject lands fall within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Humber River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2016-2020. Through the review of the Official Plan Amendment Application 12.004, Zoning By-law Amendment Application Z.12.010, and Site Plan Application 13.090 for a 14-storey apartment building (residential condominium) and a seven-storey rental apartment for seniors, TRCA staff established the limits of the open space land.

TAXES AND MAINTENANCE Taxes for 2018 have been estimated at $600. Based on TRCA's preliminary 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 the subject property will be eligible for a tax exemption. While it is expected that the subject parcel of land will not significantly impact TRCA’s maintenance costs at this location, an assessment of the aggregate acquisitions in the area will be undertaken and the results will be integrated into TRCA’s land management program and associated budgets.

FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for the costs related to this purchase are available in the TRCA land acquisition capital account.

RE: ROOF AND EAVES TROUGH REPLACEMENTS FOR ROUGE PARK RESIDENTIAL RENTAL PORTFOLIO ______KEY ISSUE Award of Contract #10005456 for Roof and Eaves Trough Replacement for nine locations within TRCA’s Rouge Park residential portfolio located in the cities of Toronto and Markham.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT Contract #10005456 for Roof and Eaves Trough Replacement for nine locations within Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s (TRCA’s) Rouge Park residential rental portfolio in the cities of Toronto and Markham be awarded to Tony K. Roofing Inc. for a total cost not to exceed $131,640, plus 20% contingency to be expended as authorized by TRCA staff, plus HST;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized staff be directed to take the necessary action to implement the contract including the signing and execution of documents.

BACKGROUND It is TRCA’s continuing objective to regularly assess the ongoing operational and capital investment requirements to maintain the dwellings within its residential portfolio as per the standards of the Residential Tenancy’s Act and applicable regulations.

Roof and/or eaves trough replacement is required at 13 locations within the Rouge Park residential rental portfolio, as the roofs and/or eaves trough, have deteriorated sufficiently and warrant their replacement in order to avoid additional interior and exterior structural damages. Seven of these 13 locations are historically designated.

It is to be noted that the locations included in RFT #10005456 are anticipated to be transferred to Parks Canada in 2018.

RATIONALE RFT #10005456 was publically advertised on Biddingo (www.biddingo.com) and bids were received from three contractors: Tony K. Roofing Inc., Eileen Roofing Inc. and AAA Roofmaster Ltd. The RFT documentation requested each of the locations to be priced separately. Bids received were opened by TRCA staff (Nick Tanczos, Lisa Moore, Judith Reda and Lori Colussi) on September 8, 2017 with the following results:

TRCA staff is recommending that Eileen Roofing Inc. not be awarded work under RFT #10005456 as there are current ongoing performance and deficiency issues still being addressed for a previously awarded project for roof and eaves trough replacement under Contract #10002463. TRCA staff has yet to undertake final inspection and be satisfied with the work completed, and to determine whether any further action is necessary in order to appropriately resolve the project.

The residence at 19 Beare Road, Scarborough is an historically designated building, currently being rented by Parks Canada for their staff use. This location has a mix of both cedar shake shingles and conventional shingles. Contractors were asked to provide quotes on two options: i) conventional roofing material; ii) cedar shake roofing material. Given this location’s impending transfer to Parks Canada, Parks Canada has requested the roof replacement be completed using cedar shake roofing material and by a contractor experienced in using these materials.

33 Item 7.6

The Federal Heritage Building Review Office (FHBRO), a division of the federal government, is currently reviewing this building as they believe it may meet their heritage requirements, and therefore have requested the cedar shake option. As Tony K. Roofing Inc. has recently completed roof repair work at 19 Beare Road, Scarborough, to the satisfaction of both TRCA and Parks Canada, it is recommended that Tony K. Roofing Inc. be awarded the roof replacement work for 19 Beare Road, Scarborough. Tony K. Roofing has carried out numerous repairs for the TRCA. They have demonstrated excellent workmanship. Parks Canada has confirmed that Tony K. Roofing Inc.’s experience with cedar shake roofing, as well as the materials that will be used, meet their FHBRO requirements. Parks Canada will be reimbursing TRCA for the cost of this work as per the Interim Management Agreement (IMA), and are aware of Tony K. Roofing Inc.’s bid price.

Under RFT #10005456, it is being recommended for approval by the CEO that roof and eaves trough replacement for three locations within TRCA’s Rouge Park residential rental portfolio be awarded to AAA Roofmaster Ltd. for a total cost not to exceed $45,500, plus 20% contingency to be expended as authorized by TRCA staff, plus HST, as per the approval limits of TRCA’s Purchasing Policy, as AAA Roofmaster Ltd. is the lowest bidder for these locations. The three locations are 9183 Reesor Road, 7273 14th Avenue, and 9035 Reesor Road, in the City of Markham.

The slate roof replacement at 9 Reesor Road, Scarborough, will not be awarded at this time given the high bid results for this residence, and budgetary constraints.

Based on bids received, staff recommends that for nine of the locations referenced in Contract #1005456 for Roof and Eaves Trough Replacement, be awarded to Tony K. Roofing Inc.

FINANCIAL DETAILS Park’s Canada will reimburse TRCA for all expenses incurred for the roof replacement at 19 Beare Road, Scarborough, as per the IMA. Funding for the remaining Rouge Park Residential Portfolio is provided primarily through rental income.

TO: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #10/17, Friday, December 15, 2017

FROM: Carolyn Woodland, Senior Director, Planning, Greenspace and Communications

RE: LAKE WILCOX SPECIAL POLICY AREA Comprehensive Policy and Boundary Update, Town of Richmond Hill ______KEY ISSUE The Town of Richmond Hill is updating the policies and boundary of the Lake Wilcox Special Policy Area based upon a comprehensive flood risk management and planning analysis in accordance with provincial guidelines. The Authority is requested to endorse the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment that will implement the updated Special Policy Area policies and boundary.

RECOMMENDATION

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS the Town of Richmond Hill, in collaboration with Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), has undertaken a comprehensive review to update the policies and boundary of the Lake Wilcox Special Policy Area (SPA) in accordance with provincial guidelines for amending the policies and boundaries of existing SPAs;

AND WHEREAS the Town of Richmond Hill has proposed amendments to the policies and mapping in their Official Plan and Zoning By-law associated with the Lake Wilcox SPA, based upon this comprehensive review;

AND WHEREAS TRCA staff has reviewed the proposed amendments and support the updates as proposed;

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the Authority endorse the request of the Town of Richmond Hill to update the policies and boundary of the Lake Wilcox Special Policy Area through an Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and Zoning By-law Amendment for approval;

AND FURTHER THAT the Town of Richmond Hill, the Region of York, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry be so advised by the CEO’s Office.

BACKGROUND A “Special Policy Area” designation is a planning mechanism provided by the Province of Ontario to recognize the unique circumstances of historic communities that existed within flood vulnerable areas prior to the implementation of a provincial flood hazard planning policy and where it has been demonstrated that the application of other provincial flood hazard planning management approaches (One Zone or Two Zone) would not allow for the continued social and economic viability and revitalization of these areas. New SPAs and any amendments to the policies, land use designations or boundaries of existing SPAs must be approved by both the Minister of Municipal Affairs and the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry because they allow for reductions to provincially prescribed floodproofing standards within these areas, where this is

35 Item 7.7 deemed appropriate. As stated in the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), SPAs are not intended to allow for new or intensified development, if a community has feasible opportunities for development outside the flood plain.

The proposal for a new SPA or modifications to the boundaries or policies of an existing provincially approved SPA may only be initiated by lower-tier or single-tier municipalities as the proponent. Such proposals must be undertaken in accordance with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Technical Guide, Appendix 5 – River and Stream Systems: Flooding Hazard Limit, “Procedures for Approval of New Special Policy Areas (SPAs) and Modifications to Existing SPAs Under the Provincial Policy Statement, 2005 (PPS, 2005), Policy 3.1.3 – Natural Hazards – Special Policy Area, dated January 2009”. The policies and boundaries of an SPA are determined through a consultative process between the municipality, TRCA, Ministry of Municipal Affairs (MMA) and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), to the SPA policies and mapping in a municipality’s Official Plan and Zoning By-law. These site specific SPA policies are used by TRCA staff to inform the standards applied within these areas through TRCA’s regulatory permitting responsibilities under Section 28(1) of the Conservation Authorities Act.

The existing Lake Wilcox SPA is located within the Humber River watershed on the north side of Lake Wilcox and west of Yonge Street, on the north and south sides of King Road (Attachment 1). The policies and boundary of the existing Lake Wilcox SPA were approved by an Order of the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) respecting OPA 129 (the former North Urban Area Secondary) on July 10, 1995.

On July 12, 2010, the Town of Richmond Hill Council adopted a new Official Plan (OP). The OP included direction to undertake a review of the Lake Wilcox SPA in order to update the existing policies and mapping. The OP contains SPA policies (Section 3.2.2.4) which were largely carried forward from OPA 129, with minor modifications to be consistent with the PPS, 2005. The recommendations of this report are based on the outcome of the comprehensive SPA policy and boundary review process that has now been completed.

RATIONALE The proposed policy and boundary modifications to the Lake Wilcox SPA reflect a collaborative and consultative effort between staff from the Town of Richmond Hill, TRCA (policy, planning and engineering staff), MMA and MNRF. This process was undertaken to ensure consistency with the PPS, 2014 and informed by updated flood plain mapping for the area. The provincial approval procedures require an endorsement of the proposed updated SPA policies and boundary by Town Council as part of the Town’s final submission package to the Province of Ontario. A similar endorsement from the Authority is also required. On October 10, 2017, Town Council approved in principle the Draft Official Plan Amendment and Draft Zoning By-law Amendment as detailed in the staff report to the Committee of the Whole held on October 2, 2017 (Link to Staff Report).

Flood Risk within the Lake Wilcox SPA A fundamental element of the comprehensive SPA review was to update the boundary of the SPA based upon current flood plain mapping. Flood plain mapping for the East Humber River area was updated in 2014 in accordance with the methodology and specifications for regulatory mapping prescribed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (Technical Guide-River and Stream Systems: Flooding Hazard Limit, 2002).

36 Item 7.7

TRCA prepared a series of maps to illustrate the current technical flood plain information to inform and assist the Town with the risk analysis, land use and emergency management components of the SPA review. This included maps illustrating flood depths and velocities for both the Regulatory (Regional/Hurricane Hazel) Flood event and the 1:350 year storm. Modelling shows that flood depths during a Regulatory Flood will range from 0 to 3 metres, with the majority of the SPA experiencing1 to 2 metres depth of flooding near the shoreline of Lake Wilcox. Under the 1:350 year storm (more frequent), flood depths are for the most part within the 0 to 2 metre range, with depths up to 3 metres noted within the valley system upstream (east) of Yonge Street.

In addition, TRCA generated a Regional Risk analysis map (Attachment 2) in accordance with criteria set by MNRF to identify areas within the SPA where flood depths and velocities would be considered low risk (safe for vehicular and pedestrian access/egress); medium risk (safe for pedestrian access/egress only); and high risk (potentially unsafe for both). The risk assessment determined that the majority of the SPA is within the high risk area. As the velocities of flood waters in a Regional storm event in the SPA are generally low, the risk criterion is exceeded on the basis of depth of flooding.

Flood Mitigation Options As part of the SPA review, Burnside Consulting was retained by TRCA and the Town of Richmond Hill to investigate alternatives for reducing or eliminating the flood vulnerabilities in the SPA. The study looked at the mechanisms of flooding that govern the flood limits within the Lake Wilcox area. Where distinct causes were identified, potential opportunities to reduce the aggregate flood risk within the SPA were identified, and the benefits and costs of such alternatives assessed in a preliminary manner. The study concluded the primary influence on the flood levels within the SPA is a result of the relatively flat topographic profile of the area downstream of Lake Wilcox in combination with the culvert at Yonge Street into which the Lake Wilcox outlet channel discharges. During the Regulatory storm event, the culvert does not have sufficient capacity to convey the Regulatory flows downstream, resulting in floodwaters building up in the valley/flood plain behind Yonge Street. Flood depths on the upstream (east) side of Yonge Street eventually reach a level that allows water to flow over and across Yonge Street, and into the East Humber River on the downstream (west) side of Yonge Street.

A number of alternatives for remediation or elimination of flood risk within the SPA were identified, all centered on improvements to the capacity of the crossing at Yonge Street (e.g. box culverts, clear-span bridge). None of the alternatives investigated had the ability to remove all vulnerable structures from the flood plain, as the relatively flat topography within the overland areas in the SPA promotes a wide, shallow flood plain under expected flow conditions. It would require major engineering works, including regrading of the shoreline of the lake to eliminate the wide shallow flood plain that exists. Ultimately, the major engineering works required, and their associated costs, would not result in the removal of all vulnerable structures from the flood plain.

Emergency Management Emergency management and planning plays an important role in minimizing the risk to public health, safety and property damage within the Lake Wilcox SPA. The Town of Richmond Hill and TRCA work closely together to ensure that the most current flood risk information is shared to facilitate the coordination of flood forecasting and emergency planning. TRCA operates a Flood Forecasting and Warning System that monitors watershed and weather conditions daily in order to issue timely warning of anticipated or actual flood conditions. Conditions during a flood event are closely monitored by TRCA and communicated to the municipality. As with all emergencies, municipalities have the primary responsibility for the welfare of residents and incorporate flood emergency response into municipal emergency planning.

37 Item 7.7

In addressing the provincial SPA guidelines, the Town’s emergency management policies and procedures, as outlined in Richmond Hill’s Emergency Plan, were reviewed with the Town’s Fire and Emergency Management staff and included in the SPA Justification Report to demonstrate how the Fire and Emergency Services group would be deployed in an emergency situation, including a potential flood event.

Special Policy Area Planning Justification A comprehensive policy and land use planning analysis was undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the provincial SPA guidelines. The findings of the technical analysis (flood plain characterization, analysis of risk, flood plain remediation assessment and assessment of emergency management) and the land use planning analysis (policy context, assessment of existing conditions and land use vision established by the 2010 Official Plan) established the basis for the recommended boundary revisions and policy modifications for the Lake Wilcox SPA.

Planning principles were developed to guide the SPA boundary revisions. Generally speaking, principles for removing lands from the existing SPA included: the removal/or reduction in the flood plain area based on the updated mapping; lands designated as part of the Greenway System (as defined by the OP 2010); and potential for expansion of existing uses outside of the flood plain. Principles for adding lands to the SPA included: the expansion of the flood plain; the location of lands within various categories of risk as defined by the major storm event; and the impact to the viability/continuation of existing uses in light of the PPS, 2014 policies for natural hazard lands. The proposed SPA boundary resulting from this review process includes the existing residential development on the north side of Lake Wilcox as identified in the attachments to this report.

The Town has prepared a draft Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and draft Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) to be consistent with current provincial legislation and implement the outcome of the comprehensive SPA review. The following is a summary of changes:  the OP’s Natural Hazard (3.2.2.3) and Special Policy Area (Section 3.2.2.4) policies have been modified to reflect the policy language of the PPS, 2014;  clarification that modifications to SPA boundaries, land use designations and/or policies require the approval of the Ministers of MMA and MNRF;  clarification on the range of permitted and prohibited uses, technical/floodproofing standards and safe access/egress requirements;  residential use permissions for SPA lands within the “Neighbourhood” designation will be limited to single detached dwellings;  continuation of policy from OP 2010 that prohibits new lot creation within natural hazard lands, including the SPA;  amending the Zoning By-law with a “Special Policy Area” overlay to implement updated regulatory standards associated with the SPA; and  prohibiting secondary suites within the SPA as a measure to minimize the risk to life and property.

The comprehensive SPA review was subject to a public/landowner consultation process as per the requirements of the provincial SPA guidelines and as prescribed under the Planning Act. TRCA staff is satisfied that the Draft OPA and ZBA capture TRCA’s planning and regulatory interests, roles and responsibilities for development within the SPA. Staff recommends that draft amendments be supported.

38 Item 7.7

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The following is a summary of the concluding steps in the process to update the Lake Wilcox SPA boundary and policies, in accordance with the provincial guidelines:  Town Council approval in principle of the Draft Official Plan Amendment and Draft Zoning By-law Amendment (October 10, 2017);  TRCA resolution of endorsement of the Draft OPA and ZBA;  Region of York resolution of endorsement of the Draft OPA and ZBA;  Council, TRCA and York resolutions forwarded to MMA and MNRF;  Submission of final/formal documentation to the Province for approval;  Ministers of MMA and MNRF issue a decision;  Town Council adopts the OPA and enacts ZBA and, with respect to the OPA, approval by the Region of York.

FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for the flood plain modelling was provided by the Region of York under account 127-90 and funding was provided by the Town of Richmond Hill for the flood plain mapping. Funding to support policy and planning input and GIS services for mapping products was provided by the Region of York under accounts 120-12 and 120-19.

CONCLUSION The Town of Richmond Hill, in collaboration with TRCA, has undertaken a comprehensive review of the Lake Wilcox Special Policy Area in accordance with provincial guidelines for amending the policies and boundaries of existing SPAs. The SPA Planning Justification is based upon a flood risk assessment using the most current flood plain management information for the East Humber River to inform land use and emergency planning. The development of the Town’s submission, including the SPA Justification Report, Draft OPA and ZBA, has been subject to extensive discussions with MMA and MNRF staff to ensure that their comments have been addressed. On this basis, TRCA staff recommends that the Authority support the proposed updates to the Lake Wilcox SPA boundary and policies as outlined in this report in order to advance to the next steps of the Provincial approval process.

RE: EAST DON TRAIL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT – PHASE 1 AND PHASE 2 Design-Build Request for Proposal #10005933 – Phase 1 and Design-Build Request for Proposal #10006438 – Phase 2 ______KEY ISSUE Award of Contract #10005933 and Contract #10006438 for engineering and construction services in support of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the East Don Trail Project, in the City of Toronto.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT Contract #10005933 for engineering and construction services in support of Phase 1 of the East Don Trail Construction Project, in the City of Toronto, be awarded to Metric Contracting Services Corporation at a total cost not to exceed $9,949,934.01, plus HST, as they are the lowest bidder that best meets Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications;

THAT Contract #10006438 for the engineering and construction services in support of Phase 2 of the East Don Trail Construction Project, in the City of Toronto, be awarded to Metric Contracting Services Corporation at a total cost not to exceed $9,797,493.62, plus HST, as they are the lowest bidder that best meets TRCA specifications;

THAT TRCA staff be authorized to approve additional expenditures to a maximum of 15% of the contract cost for each contract as a contingency allowance if deemed necessary;

THAT should staff be unable to execute an acceptable contract with the awarded contractor, staff be authorized to enter into and conclude contract negotiations with the other contractors that submitted tenders, beginning with the next lowest bidder meeting TRCA specifications;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take any action necessary to implement the contract including obtaining any required approvals and the signing and execution of documents.

BACKGROUND The East Don Trail Project is being completed by the City of Toronto in partnership with TRCA and in coordination with the City’s consultant, Aquafor Beech Ltd. The purpose of the East Don Trail Project is to create a key connection in the City of Toronto’s multi-use trail system while providing safe and equitable access to nature and recreational opportunities for the public, and to create a safe travel route. A significant gap in the multi-use trail network currently exists within the East Don Corridor between the existing East Don Trail (east of Wynford Heights Crescent), the future Meadoway trail (at approximately Bermondsey Road), and the Lower Don Trail System. The proposed East Don Trail will fill this gap, creating a continuous connected trail network. In addition, a section of the East Don Trail will realize one of the strategic connections of the Pan Am

42 Item 7.8

Path, a multi-use path connecting Toronto trails and creating an active-living legacy for the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games.

The City of Toronto’s Bikeway Trails Implementation Plan identified the need for a trail connection in the East Don Corridor, while the East Don Trail Master Plan Update, completed in 2012, determined that the trail connection was feasible and recommended that further environmental studies were necessary.

The Bikeway Trails Implementation Plan was approved by City Council on June 6, 2012 with the following direction:  City Council authorize the Acting General Manager, Transportation Services, the General Manger, Parks, Forestry and Recreation and, where appropriate, TRCA, to undertake and manage any Environmental Assessment studies required for the new trail connections contained in the Bikeway Trails Implementation Plan and file the Environmental Study Report with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change as necessary; and  City Council authorized the Acting General Manger, Transportation Services, and General Manger Parks, Forestry and Recreation and, where appropriate, TRCA to undertake site assessments, design, public consultation, project management and construction of the new trail connections contained in the Bikeway Trails Implementation Plan.

At Authority Meeting #5/12, held on June 22, 2012, Resolution #A98/12 was approved for TRCA to undertake the Environmental Assessment (EA), as well as, the management of the design and construction of the East Don Trail. After consultation with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC), the City of Toronto and TRCA initiated the East Don Trail Municipal Class Schedule C EA in 2013. Through extensive public consultation, the EA identified, evaluated and selected a preferred route for the East Don Trail. The Environmental Study Report for the EA was filed with MOECC for a 30-day public review period and was subsequently approved in November 2017.

The recommended solution (preferred trail route), as documented in the Environmental Study Report, is a 3.6 to 4 metre-wide by approximately 5 kilometres long, asphalt multi-use trail routed within the East Don Corridor (not including access routes). The route includes nine bridges over the East Don River, one over Taylor Massey Creek (constructed by City of Toronto) and two over drainage tributaries, as well as five crossings of the Metrolinx railway corridor.

The preferred trail route has been divided into three distinct phases for detailed design and construction, with Phases 1 and 2 being prioritized. Phase 1 spans from the Lower Don Trail to the future Meadoway at Bermondsey Road, while Phase 2 spans from the existing East Don Trail off Wynford Heights to Eglinton Avenue. Phase 3 will span from approximately Eglinton Avenue to connect to Phase 1, and has been deferred to a later date.

Attachment 1 is a map illustrating the location of Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3, respectively.

Phase 1 and 2 of the East Don Trail project has been identified as one of the initiatives that will be funded under the federal Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF), covering up to 50 per cent of the design and implementation. Announced in the 2016 Federal Budget, PTIF provides short-term funding to help accelerate municipal infrastructure investments over a 10 year period.

43 Item 7.8

Based on staff expertise, familiarity with the project, and responsibility for ownership of some of the lands located in the study area, TRCA has been requested to lead the implementation of the East Don Trail, in collaboration with the City of Toronto, Transportation Services and Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff.

The scope of work for Phase 1 and Phase 2 consists of the construction of approximately 5.4 kilometres of multiuse asphalt trail including:  Site preparation and removals;  Erosion and sediment control (ESC) and dewatering measures;  Installation of nine temporary bridge crossings;  Two at grade level crossings over the Metrolinx GO Line;  Design-Build of nine permanent corten steel pedestrian bridges;  Design-Build of three permanent corten steel boardwalks;  Asphalt trail construction including line painting;  Drainage control and channel works;  Bank stabilization works;  Signage;  Resting areas and entry nodes; and  Site restoration.

RATIONALE Request for Pre-Qualification (RFPQ) statements for general contractors to provide engineering and construction services for the East Don Trail Construction Project was publicly advertised on the electronic procurement website Biddingo (www.biddingo.com) on May 31, 2017. General contractors interested in pre-qualifying were advised that the criteria for evaluation would include the following in order to receive a tender package:  Completeness of submission;  Past experience with multi-use trail (asphalt) construction within Environmentally Sensitive Areas;  Design-Build of pedestrian bridges over river networks;  Installation of temporary at-grade crossings and use of flagmen for Metrolinx railway crossings,  Ability to meet construction schedule milestones;  Ability to coordinate work by others;  Experience dealing with and projects with construction budgets of $10,000,000.00; and  Experience working with, around Metrolinx/GO rail lines, Enbridge pipelines, and within hydro corridors.

A mandatory bidders meeting/site tour for Phase 1 was held on November 2, 2017 and for Phase 2 on November 3, 2017. Design-Build Request for Proposals closed on November 24, 2017. The Design-Build Request for Proposal (RFP) was scored using a two-envelope system. Envelope one contained the technical components of the RFP and envelope two contained the fee components of the RFP. Technical proposals were reviewed by the evaluation committee, separate from the fee proposals, based on the following criteria:

Criteria Weight 1. Conformance with terms of the RFP 5 2. Understanding of Project and Scope of Work 5 3. Approach and Methodology for the Services 10 4. Expertise and availability of Project Team and Schedule 5 5. Prequalification of General Contractors 10 6. Fee Proposal 65 Total Weighted Points 100

The results of the technical evaluation were then compiled using the weighted scoring system shown above including 10% of the value of the points the proponent earned during the Request for Prequalification stage of the project. The weighted scoring of the fee proposal (65%) was calculated using the following formula: Number of Points = Lowest Fee / Proponent Fee x 65 points.

The final results of the evaluation of the received proposals for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Project are as follows:

RE: KORTRIGHT VISITOR’S CENTRE RENOVATION PROJECT Contracted Construction Services for Renovations to Washrooms and Classrooms ______KEY ISSUE Award of Contract #10006491 for contracted construction services to undertake renovations of the washrooms and classrooms at the Kortright Centre’s Visitor’s Centre.

RECOMMENDATION

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Contract #10006491 for contracted construction services, including hazardous material abatement, to undertake renovations of the washrooms and classrooms at the Kortright Centre’s Visitor’s Centre be awarded to Anacond Contracting Inc. at a total cost not to exceed $373,563.05, plus HST, as they are the lowest bidder that best meets TRCA specifications;

THAT TRCA staff be authorized to approve additional expenditures to a maximum of 25% of the contract cost as a contingency allowance if deemed necessary;

THAT staff be authorized to direct Anacond Contracting Inc. to proceed immediately, upon approval by the Executive Committee, with the labour, material and equipment to perform asbestos and other hazardous material abatement prior to removals and renovations, during the holiday closure and into January, to mitigate health and safety concerns, as well as disruptions to organized events and to staff;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take such action as is necessary to implement the contract, including obtaining any required approvals and the signing and execution of documents.

BACKGROUND The Visitor’s Centre at the Kortright Centre for Conservation is the hub of all the recreational programs and activities that are featured in the building and outdoors. The many thousands of visitors at Kortright are welcomed through environmental education programs, special events, green energy and sustainable technology workshops and cultural heritage community festivals. As such, the pressures placed on the late 1970’s built building has become evident in need of repair and improvements.

48 Item 7.9

Early in 2017, staff at Kortright submitted an application as part of the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program offered by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario. The goal of the program is to renovate, expand and improve existing community infrastructure assets. A non-repayable contribution of $200,000 was awarded to the Kortright Centre in support of the proposed renovations put forward in the application. The proposed works in the application included upgrades to the building fire alarm system, renovations to the washrooms and Accessibility for Ontarions with Disabilities Act (AODA) compliant upgrades to entrance doors, replacement of the service counter, addition of a building automation system, and renovations to the classrooms facilities.

With limited funding for these improvements, priority items were selected based on a combination of rectifying building deficiencies and removing accessibility barriers to meet the needs of its increasing user base. The scope of work for this design consists of upgrades to the aging men’s and women’s washroom facilities which includes new flooring, tiling, plumbing, inclusion of barrier free washrooms, accessible counter space, automatic fixtures and new LED lighting. A portion of the work will also include the remediation of asbestos containing material identified in the original drywall. The six classrooms located on the lower level will be retrofitted with new flooring, dry walling, LED lighting fixtures and new paint. The improvements within these two areas will greatly enhance the overall experience of users to the Kortright Centre Visitor’s Centre. In order to minimize disruption to events and school programs, renovation and construction activities at the Kortright Visitor’s Centre are limited to mid-December through mid-January for upgrades to the washroom facilities and classrooms.

RATIONALE Request for Tender (RFT) documents were publicly advertised on the electronic procurement website Biddingo (www.biddingo.com) on November 15, 2017. The tender provided drawings and specifications on labour, materials and equipment, including the hazardous material abatement requirements to undertake the proposed renovations. A mandatory site information meeting was held on November 17, 2017.

Request for Tender documents were received by 23 general contractors, six of which submitted a bid. The Procurement Opening Committee publicly opened the tenders on November 30, 2017. Members of the Selection Committee consisting of TRCA staff (Aaron D’Souza, Adrian O’Driscoll and Chris Ellis) reviewed the submissions and evaluated them based on cost, qualifications and the ability to complete the project within the specified construction window.

The results of the evaluation are as follows:

Bidder Bid Price Anacond Contracting Inc. $373,563.05 Norfield Construction Inc. $430,656.78 ICIR Construction Ltd. $441,700.00 R-Chad General Contracting Inc. $505,000.00 MIR Construction Inc. $531,000.00 Trustco Construction Ltd. $588,000.00

TRCA staff reviewed the bids against its own cost estimates and has determined that the bids are of reasonable value.

49 Item 7.9

Based on an evaluation of the bids received and a review of provided references, staff recommends that Contract #10006491 be awarded to Anacond Contracting Inc. for a total cost not to exceed $373,563.05, plus a 25% contingency, plus HST, as they are the lowest bidder that meets TRCA specifications. In addition, staff recommends that work to perform asbestos abatement and removals, as well as the renovations to the washrooms be initiated by December 26, 2017 prior to final approval at Authority Meeting #10/17, scheduled to be held on January 5, 2018.

FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for this project are available through account 425-20, Kortright Visitor Centre Canada 150 Infrastructure Grant. This account is funded by the Federal Economic Development agency of Southern Ontario ($200,000) and with matching TRCA moneys ($203,000).

THAT Contract #10006760 for professional sustainability consulting services to develop the sustainability program and manage the sustainability certification process in support of an Administrative Office Building for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) be awarded on a preferred source basis to Green Reason Inc., at a total cost not to exceed $87,500.00, plus 10% contingency, plus HST;

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.

BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #5/16, held on June 24, 2016, Resolution #A85/16 approved the construction of an administrative office building at 5 Shoreham Drive in the City of Toronto and directed staff to take the necessary action to complete the Project, including the submission of formal requests for approval to the participating municipalities and the Province of Ontario. Staff reported at Authority Meeting #1/17, held on February 24, 2017 that all six of TRCA’s participating municipalities, by way of their respective Councils, had approved the Project and the allocation of $60,000,000 in new and existing capital funding toward the Project.

In May 2017, TRCA retained Jones Lang LaSalle Canada (JLL) as its project managers for the Project. TRCA then retained the services of an integrated design team, led by ZAS Architects and Bucholz McEvoy Architects, to proceed with the development of the project design, approvals and construction documents. TRCA has also engaged Eastern Construction Ltd. to provide pre-construction services throughout the design and tendering stages, manage construction of the new facility, coordinate commissioning and operational start-up, and associated site works.

RATIONALE TRCA has targeted to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum, WELL Building Silver certifications and at minimum Toronto Green Standard (TGS) Tier 2 for the new administrative office building at 5 Shoreham Drive. The project has also been approved by the Canada Green Building Council as a pilot study participant under their Zero Carbon Building Standard. To achieve these ambitious sustainability targets, TRCA staff requires the support of a sustainability consultant to develop a sustainability strategy and to coordinate and manage the certification process.

51 Item 8.1

Green Reason Inc. is currently providing sustainability consulting services as part of ZAS Architects and Bucholz McEvoy Architects integrated design team. As such, the consultant has detailed knowledge of the project design, cost and criteria that will support the development of a sustainability program that is based on an effective balance between the project’s current budget, schedule and sustainability goals.

Furthermore, Green Reason’s involvement as a member of the integrated design team during the design development, planning approvals and construction document stages will allow for a more cost effective and seamless transition into the contract administration, certification and commissioning phases of the project that will be required to achieve the project’s sustainability targets. Continuity between the design phase and the certification phases that will follow the construction and commissioning phases are also expected to be benefited by Green Reason’s involvement in this additional scope of work.

Staff therefore recommends award of the contract on a preferred source basis as per Section 9.3.3 of TRCA’s Purchasing Policy as follows:

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

FINANCIAL DETAILS The final design and site plan approval process will be undertaken between October 2017 and into early 2019, followed by construction and commissioning phases that will conclude in 2021. Funds are available in the Capital Budget for the contract period of 2017 – 2021, in account 006-50.

Section II – Items for Executive Action

TO: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #10/17, Friday, December 15, 2017

FROM: Chandra Sharma, Director, Watershed Strategies

RE: LAB SERVICES Contract #10006541 – Water Quality Samples for Tributary Monitoring Program ______KEY ISSUE Award of contract for analysis of water quality samples to monitor tributary water quality for the binational 2018 Cooperative Science and Monitoring Initiative.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT Contract #10006541 to analyze water quality samples for tributary water quality (from 2017 to 2020) be awarded on a preferred source basis to the York-Durham Regional Environmental Laboratory a total cost not to exceed $123,893.81, plus HST;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) officials be directed to take the necessary action to implement the contract including signing and execution of documents.

BACKGROUND It can be generally stated that the Canadian and Amercian shores of Lake Ontario have elevated nutrient concentrations in comparison to the oligotrophic offshore. Zebra and quagga mussels, and lakebed algae, are present to varying degrees within the nearshore while the nutrient-poor offshore is becoming less habitable for certain fish species and other biota. Significant resources are being spent on the abatement of point and non-point nutrient loading to Lake Ontario to mitigate nearshore eutrophication, however, it is difficult to assess whether abatement is effective from a lake perspective due to a poor understanding of overall nutrient loading and the associated loading impacts on the lake. It is impossible to predict how restoration or future development on land will affect the lake in absence of a better understanding of how nutrients are leaving the land. Understanding the delivery of nutrients, pollutants and other materials from watersheds to the Great Lakes is therefore fundamental to understand lake response, and to manage environmental quality, ecosystem health and lake health.

There is a broad need for tributary loading information associated with other program areas and initiatives. Most notably, it is expected that focus of the Nutrient Annex of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement and the task of setting nutrient loading and concentrations targets will shift to Lake Ontario in the coming year. Multiple domestic program areas also need or will benefit from the insights that an effective tributary monitoring program can deliver including source water protection, the Great Lakes Protection Act, and management of the recurrent issues associated with excessive algae and shoreline fouling. The primary driver of the timing of the proposed tributary monitoring is to support the binational 2018 Lake Ontario Cooperative Science and Monitoring Initiative (CSMI) and Canada-Ontario Agreement (COA), however, the motivator for the work is broader and should be considered a starting point for increased emphasis and possibly ongoing tributary nutrient and pollutant export monitoring across Lake Ontario.

53 Item 8.2

Tributary monitoring will be completed binationally in 2018 and 2019 to estimate nutrient loadings to Lake Ontario. In Canada, data will be generated from TRCA, and the provincial and federal governments. These data will need to be combined for future analysis of loading calculations, and hence will need to be directly comparable.

RATIONALE Since this effort is binational, it is crucial that the water quality data generated from the tributary monitoring can be compared with provincial and federal government data and ideally with our American counterparts. The York-Durham Regional Environmental Laboratory was historically an Ontario Ministry of the Environment lab and hence has lab methods that are comparable to the Province of Ontario. TRCA has conducted cross-lab comparisons between the York-Durham Regional Environmental Lab and the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) for the Regional Watershed Monitoring Program and found the data to be comparable. In addition, lab quality assurance/quality control through cross-lab comparisons between the York-Durham Regional Environmental Lab and the federal government have shown in the past that this lab generates analytical results that are comparable to the federal government. There have also been extensive cross-lab comparisons between the provincial and federal governments and the federal and the American researchers.

The request for lab services on a preferred source basis is in compliance with TRCA’s purchasing policy under Section 9.3 (3) which states:

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 In the multi-year grant from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (Account code 225-95), $140,000 has been allotted for laboratory services at the York-Durham Regional Environmental Lab.

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE In 2018 and 2019, water quality samples will be collected during storm- and base- flow events and analyzed for Total, Dissolved, and Soluble Reactive Phosphorus, Nitrate plus Nitrite, Nitrite, Total Kjeldhal Nitrogen, Ammonia plus Ammonium, Chloride, Sulphate, Total Suspended Solids, and Conductivity.

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

60 Proposal: The proposal involves the development of a new TTC bus garage at 2080 McNicoll Avenue, Scarborough in Toronto. The proposed site is near the intersection of McNicoll Avenue and Kennedy Road. The new bus garage will consist of a slab-on-grade single storey facility approximately 28,000m3, surrounded by rigid concrete driveways and bus parking areas on a 5.53 hectare property. In addition, an adjacent 1.9 hectare property located along the newly construction Milliken Boulevard will be developed into an employee parking lot to serve approximately 352 vehicles. The main building will contain maintenance bays, a brake shop, a degrease shop, a body and paint shop, bus cleaning areas, maintenance and transportation offices, two service lines, fuel and repair bay. It will also include an indoor maintenance and storage facility to accommodate two hundred and twenty three (223) buses and storage for two hundred and fifty (250) conventional buses. The employee amenities will consist of a locker room and lunch room/cafeteria and material receiving storage and distribution area. The building design will incorporate recycling of waste, waste heat and water, including a bus wash waste water recycle system. Crippled bus parking will be located along the northern sections of the property and eighteen (18) crippled articulated bus bays and nine (9) crippled standard bus bays will be provided.

TTC is proposing an innovate stormwater management system which will include both low impact development (LID) measures, an oil grit separator and conventional underground storm water storage system. The employee parking lot will include enhanced filter strip system, bio swales, permeable pavers (0.52ha) and emergency spillways to improve surface drainage and promote infiltration and water balance on the site. The maintenance building will have a vegetated green roof which will be one of the largest in Canada to date, a reflective white roof, a transpired solar collector wall, workspaces illuminated by natural light and energy efficient fixtures. The green roof will cover approximately 54% (1.63ha) of the building area. Construction is proposed to commence in the Fall of 2017.

Control of Flooding: The proposed works are not anticipated to impact flooding, flood storage or conveyance of flood waters. As a precautionary measure and upon TRCA request, the TTC consultants will monitor to the weather to ensure works are completed during favorable weather conditions.

Pollution: Erosion and sediment control measures including, rock check dams, sedimentation traps (4) , sedimentation ditches, silt fences, catch basin protection will be installed prior to construction and maintained for the entire duration of construction. These measures will be implemented to prevent the release of construction generated sediments into the Highland Creek. Erosion and sediment control measures have been provided in accordance with the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area Conservation Authorities Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Urban Construction (2006).

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: Staff does not anticipate any impacts to slope stability or erosion as a result of these works.

Conservation of Land: There are no in-water works associated with this project.

61 Plantings The City of Toronto Tree Protection Policy and Specifications for Construction near trees will be adhered to during the construction period. Approximately 0.35 ha of marsh vegetation community will be impacted by construction. TTC will be providing natural heritage compensation funds ($33,000) to TRCA for compensation plantings else where within the watershed to ensure no ecological net loss from this project.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 7.4.4 Infrastructure and Section 8.9 Infrastructure Policies of The Living City Policies for Planning and Development in the Watersheds of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.

The purpose is to construct a zipline, a treetop walk, a challenge course, and an ecological educational center at the Toronto Zoo.

The permit will be issued for the period of December 15, 2017 to December 14, 2019 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

 Permit Request, prepared by Toronto Zoo, dated July 13, 2017;  Environmental Commitment Statement, prepared by Darryl Hore, P.Eng., Director of Engineering, Ecotrek Adventure Group, dated June 16, 2017.

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

Proposal: The Toronto Zoo has subcontracted with Ecotrek adventures to develop a zipline, a treetop walk, a challenge course, and an ecological educational center adjacent to the Indo Malay Centre on the south east side of the Zoo. The access platform for the zipline, treetop walk and challenge course will be located on the existing pedestrian bridge that crosses a valley draw feature that leads down to a multi-level access deck at the base of the valley. The subject lands are owned by TRCA and leased to the Zoo. The Zoo has responsibility for managing the lands and assuming all liability for the use of the lands. The Zoo is TRCA's partner in protecting and enhancing the natural heritage system. To that end, Ecotrek has committed to providing an attraction which exists in harmony with its ecosystem while providing an eco-educational experience for its patrons, staff, and industry colleagues. They have committed to providing a park that has a net beneficial environmental effect through-out all stages of the design, construction and operation of the facility.

63 Toronto Zoo staff has confirmed in correspondence dated November 29, 2017 that approvals from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry as well as municipal building permits are not required. They have confirmed the need for approvals under the City of Toronto Ravine and Natural Feature Protection By-law. TRCA staff will coordinate with By-law staff to ensure that the final drawings approved as part of this permit are consistent with their requirements, including any tree protection and tree planting necessary to mitigate impacts and enable the ecological enhancement commitments in the letters from the Zoo and Ecotrek. Control of Flooding: The project is not located within the regional storm floodplain.

Pollution: The proponent has committed to ensuring the appropriate erosion and sediment controls are in place during construction. There will be very limited ground impact.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: The proponent has committed to ensuring the appropriate erosion and sediment controls are in place during construction. There will be very limited ground impact.

Conservation of Land: The project will for the most part be elevated above the ground, and be accomplished utilizing low impact products, creating a course design that eliminates patron access to the forest floor, and using proven tree anchorages that are claimed by Ecotrek to not cause a negative impact on tree health. Throughout the process, the proponent will be relying heavily on input from qualified arboreal professionals and ecologists to ensure the process is environmentally sensitive and can serve to enhance the existing environment. This includes mitigating existing slope erosion, planting native tree species, installing bat boxes, and removing invasive species. Work within the trees will not be conducted during bird breeding season.

Plantings Plantings will be provided per the requirements of the Ravine and Natural Feature Protection By-law.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with the intent of Section 8.9, Infrastructure Policies, of The Living City Policies for Planning and Development in the Watersheds of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.

Brian Denney Chief Executive Officer Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 5 Shoreham Drive Toronto, ON M3N 1S4

Dear Brian,

Re: Permit Request

Thank you for your positive and informative letter dated 2017-04-29 which highlighted actions required by the Toronto Zoo in order to facilitate the implementation of an Eco Tour being offered to Zoo guests. The Toronto Zoo is a leader in protecting and preserving the environment and as such we understand the requirements of this project and the sensitivities of the area in which it is to be erected.

The educational enhancement this tour shall provide will serve to promote the natural habitat and create a call to action for guests as they experience a conservation-related activity, minutes from the City. The net benefit to the natural environment will be the education afforded the Zoo guests as they are immersed in a learning experience in the forest.

Please find attached a letter from the proponent that clearly outlines the educational and conservation values which are the primary rationale for such an experience at the Zoo. The letter further discusses the proponent’s founding philosophy of environmental awareness, and the benefits such experiences provide.

The City of Toronto is aware of the project as the Board of Management of the Toronto Zoo is a City agency and more particularly through the City budget process.

Re: Ecotrek Eco-Adventure Park - Environmental Commitment Statement

Dear TRCA,

This letter is intended to outline Ecotrek’s environmental commitment with respect to our proposed eco-adventure attraction within the Toronto Zoo. The proposed eco-adventure park, consists of four main attractions; a zipline, a treetop walk, a challenge course, and an ecological educational center. The ultimate goal of the park is to provide an attraction which exists in harmony with its ecosystem while providing an eco-educational experience for its patrons, staff, and industry colleagues. Ecotrek is committed to providing a park that has a net beneficial environmental effect through-out all stages of the design, construction and operation of the facility.

The park will be designed so as to provide the least environmentally intrusive end-product. This will be accomplished utilising low impact products, creating a course design that eliminates patron access to the forest floor, and using proven tree anchorages that do not cause a negative impact on tree health. Throughout the design process, we will be relying heavily on input from qualified arboreal professionals and ecologists to ensure our process is not only environmentally sensitive, but can serve to enhance the existing environment surrounding the park Examples of this would include eliminating erosion, planting native tree species, installing bat boxes, and removing invasive species.

The success of the Eco-Adventure Park is directly linked to the over-all health of the ecology in which the park is immersed. Thus, it is imperative that the park construction sequence results in an area that is a thriving example of a strong, healthy and vibrant eco-system. To achieve this end, construction methods must be low-impact and construction scheduling conducted to work with environmental requirements. All heavy equipment will be restricted to using existing, but improved, pathways and trails. Whenever feasible, manpower will be utilised in place of equipment to limit damage and forest floor compaction. Timing of major construction activities will be sequenced to minimise harmful effects. Work within the trees will not be conducted during bird breeding season, and civil works to improve erosion issues will be conducted in the autumn.

The operation of the Eco-adventure park will permit the greatest opportunity to achieve our net-benefit commitment. Our patrons will be immersed in an ecological learning environment with educational experiences embedded throughout the course. The Eco-Amphitheatre provides a venue to provide

Epic Adventures…naturally!

66 themed environmental awareness seminars, presentations, and study groups. Designed as the final feature before leaving the park, we will work with ecologists and area experts to communicate current environmental affairs to guests. Anticipated themes could include water quality, species at risk, invasive species, as well as seasonal hot topics such as ticks, zika, etc. A further area that we would explore is permitting various study and monitoring groups (such as Adopt-a-pond, Batcon, TRCA, etc) to utilise the Eco-Amphitheater for monitoring, studies, presentations, and fund-raising events.

EcoTrek is a company that is founded in the ideals and philosophy of healthy environmental awareness. As such, it is our goal to conduct all phases of our projects with the protection of nature held paramount, and to foster a healthy, enjoyable co-habitation with our eco-system. We strive to fulfil this policy via the use of low-impact construction practices and environmental remediation measures that serve to enhance the existing area. A key component of the EcoTrek experience is education, awareness, and enjoyment of the natural beauty of our surroundings. Our processes and operations are to be subjected to ongoing evaluations, with the ultimate goal of continuously improving our environmental performance within our surroundings. We will strive to deliver an ever-increasing knowledge base for those who enjoy it with us.

Best Regards, Ecotrek Adventure Group

Darryl Hore, P.Eng Director of Engineering

To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure on West Half Lot 30, Concession 6, (4251 Kirby Road), in the City of Vaughan, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by 1352579 Ontario Inc. The purpose is to recognize the construction of a 177.5 sq. m. (1910.6 sq. ft.) ground floor and 290.2 sq. m. (3123.7 sq. ft.) second floor addition to an existing single family dwelling as well as a 55.2 sq. m. ( 594.2 sq. ft.) deck located at the side/rear of the dwelling. The described additions to the dwelling and replacement deck were constructed without TRCA or municipal permits. As such, the applicant has paid double the application fee as required for voluntary compliance related to resolution of a violation of Ontario Regulation 166/06.

The permit will be issued for the period of December 15, 2017 to June 14, 2018 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

 Sheet No. 1, Site Plan, prepared by Trevor Gain & Associates, dated July 22, 2013, received by TRCA on November 14, 2017;  Sheet No. 2, Site Statistics, prepared by Trevor Gain & Associates, dated July 22, 2013, received by TRCA on November 14, 2017;  Sheet No. 1A, Ground Floor Plan, prepared by Trevor Gain & Associates, dated November 28, 2017, received by TRCA on November 28, 2017, redline revised by TRCA on December 4, 2017;  Sheet No. 2A, Second Floor Plan, prepared by Trevor Gain & Associates, dated July 22, 2013, received by TRCA on November 14, 2017, redline revised by TRCA on December 4, 2017;  Sheet No. 3A, Basement Plan, prepared by Trevor Gain & Associates, dated November 28, 2017, received by TRCA on November 28, 2017, redline revised by TRCA on December 4, 2017;  Sheet No. 4A, Elevations, prepared by Trevor Gain & Associates, dated July 22, 2013, received by TRCA on November 14, 2017;  Sheet No. 5A, Elevations, prepared by Trevor Gain & Associates, dated July 22, 2013, received by TRCA on November 14, 2017.

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

Proposal: The purpose of this permit is to recognize the construction of a 177.5 sq. m. (1910.6 sq. ft.) ground floor and 290.2 sq. m. (3123.7 sq. ft.) second floor addition to an existing single family dwelling as well as a 55.2 sq. m. (594.2 sq. ft.) deck located at the side/rear of the dwelling. The described additions to the dwelling and replacement deck were constructed without TRCA or municipal permits. As such, the applicant has paid double the application fee as required for voluntary compliance related to resolution of a violation of Ontario Regulation 166/06.

Over the past several years the owner of the subject property has been going through the process of obtaining approvals from the City of Vaughan Development Planning and Building Standards Departments for development on their property that was constructed without municipal approvals. As a part of that process, the owner was informed about TRCA's permitting requirements as a significant portion of the property is regulated by TRCA.

The reason why the subject property is regulated by TRCA is because the eastern and southern portions of the property are traversed by a valley corridor associated with a tributary of the East Humber River. The existing dwelling on the property is located in close proximity to the top of bank of the valley corridor. As a part of a concept development process (CFN: 55089.24) TRCA staff visited the site to assess the condition of the valley slope. Based on observations made on site, TRCA staff requested that a slope stability assessment be completed in order to determine the location of the Long Term Stable Top of Slope (LTSOTS). Based on the findings of the slope stability assessment, it was determined that the ground floor and second floor additions, located on the west side of the existing dwelling, are outside of the LTSTOS.

A portion of the deck structure is located within the LTSTOS as determined by the slope stability assessment. The applicant has submitted documentation to confirm that the portion of the replacement deck structure that is located within the LTSTOS is the same size and footprint as a previously existing deck located in the area. As such, it is the opinion of TRCA staff that the replacement deck does not exceed the erosion risk associated with the previously existing structure.

Furthermore, the location of the subject works is void of any significant vegetation and is outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain on the property, which is contained within the valley corridor. As such, there are no geotechnical, ecological or flood related impacts anticipated with the subject works.

Fee and Permit Timing: As the works were completed prior to the issuance of a permit under Ontario Regulation 166/06, the permit is to be issued "after-the-fact". The applicant has paid double the application fee as required for a permit "after-the-fact" in association with the violation of Ontario Regulation 166/06. In addition, the time frame for this permit has been adjusted to reflect that the works have been completed (i.e. 6 months).

Control of Flooding: The subject works are not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. As such, impacts on the storage or conveyance of flood waters are not anticipated as a result of the subject works.

69 Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures are not required as the works have already been completed.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns with the project.

Conservation of Land: The location of the works is void of any significant vegetation.

Plantings Given that no significant vegetation was removed during construction of the works, no plantings are required.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 8.5.1.3 - Additions to Existing Buildings or Structures - and Section 8.5.1.4 - Replacement or Reconstruction of Existing Buildings or Structures - of The Living City Policies for Planning and Development in the Watersheds of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.

The purpose is to recognize the construction of a 5.5 m by 6.8 m (18 ft by 22.3 ft) wood deck located at the west side of an existing residential dwelling located within TRCA's Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed. The described works were initiated without the issuance of a TRCA or municipal building permit. As such, an additional permit application fee of 100% was charged for this "after-the-fact" permit.

The permit will be issued for the period of December 15, 2017 to December 14, 2019 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

 Drawing No. A-1, prepared by Momentus Engineering Management, Revision No. 3, revised on October 23, 2017, received by TRCA on October 25, 2017;  Drawing No. A-2, Floor Plans, prepared by Momentus Engineering Management, Revision No. 1, revised on September 29, 2017, received by TRCA on September 27, 2017;  Drawing No. A-3, Sections & Details, prepared by Momentus Engineering Management, Revision No. 1, revised on September 29, 2017, received by TRCA on September 27, 2017.

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

71 Proposal: The applicant initiated works in advance of obtaining a permit under Ontario Regulation 166/06, therefore the permit to be issued is "after the fact". The applicant has paid the application fee plus 100% as required for an "after the fact" permit in contravention of the Regulation. In addition, the time frame for this permit will be adjusted to reflect that the works have been completed.

Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located within the Regional Floodplain. TRCA Water Resource staff has reviewed the proposal and anticipate that the proposed works will not have any significant impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters.

Pollution: Erosion and sediment controls (i.e. silt fencing) will not be required as the proposed works have been completed.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns anticipated with this project.

Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation was removed as a result of the works.

Plantings As no significant vegetation was removed, plantings are not required at this time.

The purpose is to undertake works within the Rouge River Watershed to facilitate the restoration of an area disturbed by unauthorized site alteration and grading works within a TRCA Regulated Area. The proposed works will resolve the outstanding TRCA violation (No. V3044) on the subject property. In addition, the works also includes the construction of a deck (approximately 270 square feet in size) at the rear of the existing dwelling.

The permit will be issued for the period of December 15, 2017 to December 14, 2019 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

 Site Plan and Restoration Planting Plan, prepared by Agent (Qining Ran), no date provided, received by TRCA on December 6, 2017;  Restoration Planting Plan Memo, prepared by Agent (Qining Ran), dated December 6, 2017, received by TRCA on December 6, 2017.

104 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 the Rouge River Watershed to resolve an outstanding violation in respect to unauthorized site alteration and grading works within a TRCA Regulated Area. The rear of the subject property contains a portion of the Berczy Creek valley corridor associated with the Rouge River. TRCA Enforcement staff issued Violation No. V3044 on May 19, 2017 for the unauthorized site alteration and grading works adjacent to and within the vegetated area contiguous with the valley corridor. To restore and enhance the ecological condition of the disturbed area on the subject property, the applicant has submitted a restoration planting plan. The restoration planting plan consists of native, non-invasive species of trees and shrubs with deep root systems which will be planted along the edge of the dripline at the mid-point of the property. Furthermore, the existing grades prior to the disturbance will be reestablished as part of the proposed works. TRCA Ecology staff are satisfied that the restoration planting plan will remediate the disturbed area caused by the unauthorized site alteration adjacent/within the valley corridor and will provide a net ecological gain to the valley system. In addition to the proposed restoration works on the subject property, the applicant is proposing to construct a deck, approximately 270 square metres in size at the rear of the existing dwelling. The location of the proposed deck is appropriately setback from the valleyland feature and extends no further than the existing limit of development. As such, there are no flood or geotechnical related concerns anticipated as part of this application.

Additional Fee: The applicant initiated works in advance of a permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 being issued. The applicant has paid the application fee plus 100%, as required in association with the violation of the regulation.

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

Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls (i.e. silt fencing) will be installed and maintained throughout the duration of the project.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: There are no anticipated geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns associated with this project.

Conservation of Land: TRCA staff required a restoration planting plan to aid in reestablishing and remediating the area disturbed by the unauthorized site alteration and grading. The restoration planting plan consists of native, non-invasive species of trees and shrubs with deep root systems and will enhance the overall ecological condition of the valley corridor.

105 Plantings

All plantings proposed are deep rooting, native, non-invasive species in accordance with TRCA's guidelines.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 8.4 - General Regulation Policies - of The Living City Policies for Planning and Development in the Watersheds of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.

The entire property is within the Humber River valley corridor, on the valley floor adjacent to the flood plain and river bank. The Humber River is just east of the single family dwelling. The property is flat and void of any significant vegetation. The proposed structure is outside of the meander belt to the Humber River and is adjacent to the stable top of slope of the river bank. The flood plain is contained within the banks of the Humber River in this location.

In 2016, works were undertaken by the applicant to remove a previously existing 1 storey dwelling on the property and replace it with a 2 storey dwelling on the existing foundation without building permits from the City of Vaughan or TRCA. A Stop Work Order was issued by the City of Vaughan requiring the applicant to obtain proper approvals in December of 2016. Since January 2017, TRCA staff have been working with the applicant to advance the permit. As the replacement dwelling is built on the foundation of the previous dwelling and was shown to not have increased the risk, it was agreed that the replacement dwelling could be permitted provided the owner enter into a "Release and Hold Harmless Agreement" which acknowledges the risk and releases TRCA from claims arising from any erosion or flooding impact from the location of the home on the property.

This permit will also facilitate the installation of a replacement septic system, which will be set back further from the erosion and flooding hazards on the property than the partially completed dwelling. The replacement septic system is located outside of all hazards and the existing system is to be abandoned in place.

Fee and Permit Timing: As the works were started prior to the issuance of a permit under Ontario Regulation 166/06, the permit is to be issued "after-the-fact". The applicant has paid double the application fee as required for a permit "after-the-fact" in association with the violation of Ontario Regulation 166/06. In this case, the time frame for this permit will not be shortened so that the applicant has a full 2 years to complete all works.

Control of Flooding: TRCA staff have confirmed that the proposed dwelling is outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the adjacent Humber River. The flood plain is contained within the banks of the Humber River in this location. Per the signed agreement included with this permit, the risk of flooding on this property cannot be completely eliminated, and the owner agrees to the release and hold harmless agreement, releasing TRCA from any liability arising from flooding or erosion risks to the property.

Pollution: Construction of the dwelling was undertaken and largely completed prior to the issuance of any building permits. Erosion and sediment controls consisting of silt soxx have been proposed for the outstanding septic works and will be maintained through all phases of construction.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

108 Erosion: The applicant has submitted fluvial geomorphological and slope stability assessments indicating that the erosion risk to the property has not been increased by the addition of a second storey to the footprint of the previous dwelling. Per the signed agreement included with this permit, the risk of erosion on this property cannot be completely eliminated, and the owner agrees to the release and hold harmless agreement, releasing TRCA from any liability arising from flooding or erosion risks to the property.

Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation has been removed as a part of this proposal. The replacement structure is located on the foundations of the previous dwelling and the proposed septic area consists of manicured lawn.

Plantings As no significant vegetation is to be removed, a compensation planting plan was not required.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal has met the general intent of Section 8.4 - General Regulation Policies, and Section 8.5.1 - Development within the Flood Hazard and Erosion Hazard of Valley and Stream Corridors, of The Living City Policies for Planning and Development in the Watersheds of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. The owner has worked with TRCA to demonstrate there will be no impacts to the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution, or the conservation of land.

The purpose is to grade, place fill and construct interim servicing within a Regulated Area of the Humber River watershed to facilitate the development of a new residential subdivision.

The permit will be issued for the period of December 15, 2017 to December 14, 2019 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

 Letter of undertaking provided by John Spina, Castles of Caledon Corp., dated December 12, 2017, to address all outstanding TRCA requirements, prior to the issuance of the permit.

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

Proposal: This permit is the first of two associated with the Castles of Caledon Corp. development, located at the north-east corner of Walker Rd. and Mountainview Rd. in Caledon East, in the Town of Caledon. The Castles of Caledon Corp. development is a draft approved residential plan of subdivision, which was approved by the OMB in 2015. TRCA staff participated in the hearing to ensure that our interests with respect to the natural features on the site (i.e. the tributaries and Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSWs)), natural hazards and Stormwater Management (SWM) were adequately considered. The hearing resulted in a settlement being reached, in which TRCA’s interests were adequately addressed.

112 The subject lands are approximately 24.92 ha in size and are generally surrounded by residential, rural and agricultural land uses. The proposed development consists of a total of 200 single family homes; two SWM ponds; and two environmental protection blocks that total approximately 8.91 ha in size. Two tributaries of the West Humber River watershed traverse the subject lands. The headwater reach of Bracken Creek flows from north to south on the west side of the subject property. To the east, a portion of Walker Creek flows from north to south. Both tributaries continue to flow south and drain into the Caledon East Swamp, which is an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA). Two Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSW’s) on the subject property associated with the tributaries have been evaluated by the Ministry of Natural Resources. In addition, a portion of the Caledon Complex ESA occurs in the north-east corner of the property. The proposed development is adequately setback from the natural heritage features and natural hazards on the property.

TRCA regulates development adjacent to the wetlands and tributaries. The applicant is presently proposing to initiate earthworks and initial servicing on the site. TRCA staff have reviewed the proposed works, and are satisfied with the erosion and sediment control measures, and the earthworks proposed. A future permit application will be brought forward at a later date for the permanent development and servicing within the Regulated areas.

Control of Flooding: The proposed development is located outside of the Regulatory Floodplain. As such, no impacts on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters are anticipated.

Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be installed and maintained throughout construction to prevent sediment from migrating from the portion of the site on which the development is being completed.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: There are no existing geotechnical/slope stability issues associated with this site. In addition, the implementation of the aforementioned sediment and erosion control measures will minimize erosion on the site.

Conservation of Land: This development, and the works proposed under this permit application are located on lands that have been designated for development by the Town of Caledon. All significant natural systems and the associated buffers have been protected through the plan of subdivision.

Plantings A planting plan will form part of the second permit application for development on the subject property, which will be brought forward to the Executive Committee for consideration at a later date.

As part of the current proposal, seeding of the disturbed areas will be utilized as a means of erosion control.

113 Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 8.4 General Regulation Policies of The Living City Policies for Planning and Development in the Watersheds of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.

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

Proposal: The purpose is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed in order to facilitate the final construction of a permanent stormwater management pond (Pond D1) associated with the municipally approved draft plan of subdivision (19T(R)- 14006) and municipal permits. TRCA issued a permit for Phase 1 grading works which included (TRCA Permit C-170680) topsoil stripping and stockpiling, site alteration and grading, importing large volumes of fill, implementing temporary stormwater management facilities, and implementing sediment and erosion control measures. The subject property is located north of Elgin Mills Road East, west of Leslie Street, and south of 19th Avenue, in the Town of Richmond Hill. Located in the North Leslie Secondary Plan Area, the Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) for North Leslie (west of Leslie Street) was reviewed and approved in principle by TRCA staff on October 9, 2015.

116 Works proposed under this permit application include establishing the final grades for stormwater management pond (Pond D1) to service a portion of the approved plan of subdivision to treat stormwater prior to discharging to the adjacent natural heritage features, as established through the approved Master Environmental Servicing Plan, the Environmental Impact Study (EIS), the Environmental Management Plan (EMP), and the Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management reports. Adjacent significant natural heritage features including the Rouge River Tributary 2-2, wetland and floodplain have been protected through the provincial and the OMB approved secondary plan policies for the area, which includes a 30 metre buffer from all features. However, through further detailed design, it was determined that minor grading encroachments would be required to facilitate a stable grade transition to the natural heritage system (NHS). As such, in collaboration with the Town of Richmond Hill and TRCA senior staff, encroachments into the 30 metre buffer (which will be conveyed to the Town of Richmond Hill) have been accommodated for the maintenance access road around the pond (to be constructed with permeable paving and also is to be integrated into the overall trail network within the North Leslie Secondary Plan area). Furthermore, the Town of Richmond Hill Engineering staff have provided TRCA staff with an email confirming that design of Pond D1 is satisfactory to them and a Town permit for its construction will be issued in the near future.

The final stormwater management pond design is consistent with the principles of the approved MESP, and a comprehensive monitoring plan and adaptive management plan has been completed to TRCA’s satisfaction. Staff reviewed the details associated with the outlet structure which includes the construction of a pocket wetland and infiltration swale to provide tertiary controls prior to discharge to the provincially significant wetland (PSW) and Tributary 2-2. This wetland and infiltration channel is consistent with the approved MESP and provides water quantity and quality requirements to meet the Feature Based Water Balance calculations for the PSW and flow to Tributary 2-2. Staff are satisfied with the design, level of sediment and erosion controls, and the dissipation of discharge to the natural features subject to the enhanced planting and restoration plan. TRCA staff note that the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) Redside Dace construction timing window may apply to this proposal unless otherwise specified in writing by MNRF.

Control of Flooding: The proposed stormwater management pond is located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain, however a portion of the outfall is located within the floodplain. TRCA staff have determined the proposed works are minor and will not adversely impact the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters. As such, staff do not anticipate any impacts related to flood control or flood conveyance as a result of the works.

Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures have been installed as part of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 site alteration and grading plans, and will be maintained during this phase of construction. In addition, the Environmental Management Plan has been approved with a comprehensive monitoring plan to monitor the proposed works and their impact to the adjacent natural heritage features.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

117 Erosion: As a result of the dynamic hydrogeological conditions within North Leslie, the site was required to import large volumes of fill (TRCA Permit C-170680) to raise the overall elevation of the site to ensure that all underground structures would be located outside of the groundwater table. The elevated developable areas of the site will be transitioned to the Natural Heritage System lands through geotechnically stabilized slopes ranging from 3:1 to 2:1, at the approval of the Town of Richmond Hill. Furthermore, a series of retaining walls will also be constructed to limit encroachments into the natural heritage system. These walls were designed by a structural engineer, and have been accepted by the Town of Richmond Hill. As such, TRCA staff are satisfied that the geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns associated with this application have been addressed to the satisfaction of the Town and the TRCA.

Conservation of Land: All disturbed areas are to be isolated from the natural heritage system with an approved sediment and erosion control measure plan, designed to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. No significant vegetation is proposed to be removed, and staff note that a approvals are required from MOECC for the stormwater management pond. A further permit may be required from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) with respect to the Redside Dace construction timing window of July 1 to September 15, unless otherwise specified in writing by MNRF.

Plantings The lands subject to this permit has been previously utilized as farm land. As such, no significant vegetation was removed. However, disturbed areas will be restored and stabilized in accordance with the approved comprehensive native, non-invasive enhancement planting plan submitted in support of this permit and draft plan. The planting plan includes all plantings to be implemented within the environmental buffer, all disturbed areas, and within the disturbed areas of the proposed outlet structure and pocket wetlands, consistent with TRCA planting guidelines and approved native seed mixes.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 8.4 - General Regulation Policies of the Living City Policies for Planning and Development in the Watersheds of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.
