McLean and Rearmng of Fundale Park ; FUrther to your memo concerrung-the matter noted above, please be advised that evidence m the City m Archives strongly suggests that the Drs. McLean are noteworthy for exemplary professIOnal and conununity sefV1ce to the former Village of Woodbndge (the latter was an independent muruclpal entity l- i from 1882 unt1l1970, when it amalgamated With Vaughan TownshIp to form the Town of Vaughan), and i the Town and City of Vaughan 0 i A brief resume of accomplishments of the noted parties follows: For three generations, the medical needs of the Woodbridge community were served by the E McLeans: Dr. Peter McLean (1855-1936), his son Dr. Garnet McLean (1883-1958), and the latter's son, Dr. Charles McLean (?). The tenure of the McLeans as physicians for the area began in 1881 and continued into the late 1980's or early 1990's. Dr. Peter McLean practiced from 1881 to 1931 and contributed to his community as a member of G.) the Village of Woodbridge Council from 1893 to 1897, and was elected in 1907 to the House of Commons for the former riding of York Centre. E I Dr. Garnet McLean practiced medicine in Woodbridge until 1955 (unknown when he began practicing). He was extremely community-minded, founding and organizing the Red Cross Blood Donor's Clinic in Woodbridge and serving on Village Council for several years, including as Village Reeve from 1923-1924. He was also the first president of the Woodbridge Horticultural Society, first president of the Woodbridge Board of Trade, first president of the York Music Festival, a past master of the Blackwood Masonic Lodge (Woodbridge), an elder in the Woodbridge United Church and conducted the Church Choir for almost twenty years. Information relating to Charles Maclean's community involvement is, unfortunately, rather scant. Professionally, however, he began working in his father's medical office in 1946, after serving in Europe as an officer in the Canadian military during \V\VlI, and assumed the practice in 1955, upon the retirement of his father. He continued to practice medicine in Woodbridge until Dec. 1989. If you have any questIOns or concerns regarding the foregoing, please feel free to contact me. f)~ ~< Dan Zeleny] City of Vaughan ArchIves /dz . --- @ February 12, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/99 85 RES.#B3/99 - GREENSPACE PROTECTION AND ACQUISITION PROJECT, 1996~2000 Flood Plain and Conservation Component / Rouge River Watershed Lucent Technologies, CFN 30044.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Meeting #5/98, held on June 26, 1998, the Authority adopted the following: THAT the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project Concept Plan be endorsed and submitted to the Minister of Environment for approval under the Environmental Assessment Act; THAT staff be directed to prepare a "Project" based on the Concept Plan and including a funding partnership for approval by the Authority and the City of Toronto; AND FURTHER THAT staff continue with acquisition efforts to achieve the objectives At Meeting #6/98, July 24, 1998, the Authority adopted the following: THAT staff be directed to continue to negotiate the acquisition of the properties required for the implementation of the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Plan; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to engage Chappell, Bushell, Stewart, Barristers and Solicitors, regarding acquisition of the Manson water lot, and the Annis and Brown Properties. It is proposed that the implementation of the preferred Port Union Waterfront Improvement Concept Plan will be undertaken in two phases: Phase I will involve construction between Highland Creek and Chesterton Shores Road and Phase II will involve construction on the shoreline between Chesterton Shores to the Rouge River. 810 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #1/99 February 12, 1999 The Authority has been acquiring properties in the Chesterton Shores vicinity for a number of years under various Lake Ontario Waterfront Regeneration and Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Projects. The most recent parcel, the former Milloy property was acquired in June 1998 and currently we are in the process of closing a transaction with the Canadian National Railway Company for a number of parcels along this reach of shoreline. However, key areas of the shoreline still remains in private ownership. A title record plan has been prepared indicating property ownership along the 3 km of shoreline and negotiations are underway with a number of the private owners. In order to implement Phase I of the Port Union Waterfront Improvements Concept Plan, a total of three private properties need to be acquired by Authority. Concurrent with the design and approvals process the Authority must begin assembling the lands required to permit the construction to proceed at the appropriate time. It is now deemed advisable to be in a position to proceed under the provisions of the Expropriations Act R.S.O. 1990 and the Conservation Authorities Act R.S.O. 1990, to ensure that all lands are available for construction of the shoreline works in this. area. A plan will be available for review at the meeting. RATIONALE The subject properties fall within the Authority's approved master plan for acquisition along the Lake Ontario shoreline. These properties are key to the regeneration of the Lake Ontario shoreline between the Highland Creek and Rouge River Watersheds. Accelerated acquisition will facilitate the construction of Phase I of the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Plan.

The restoration and reopening of the Burwick House will cost about $430,000. Up to $215,000 in a matching grant may be available immediately from the Ministry of Citizenship, Culture, and Recreation. Black Creek Pioneer Village requires an Authority resolution to proceed with a grant application. Moved by: Jim McMaster Seconded by: Lorna Bissell THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT application for a capital grant of $215,000, to restore the Burwick House, be made to the Ministry of Citizenship, Culture, and Recreation; AND FURTHER THAT the Authority commit to match the Ministry grant with $215,000 from fund raising, reserves, and such other sources as the Authority may decide . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A 113/95, Authority Meeting #3195, April 28, 1995, approved the Black Creek restoration and facility improvement projects, including the Burwick House and Stable. It further authorized the Authority to request the support of the Conservation Foundation to fund raise for this project. Burwick House and Stable have been the top priority for restoration since 1994. To date, $27,000 has been spent on the architectural assessment and production of working draWings and specifications for the restoration. However, due to the magnitude of this project, the fund raiSing climate over the past few years, and lack of provincial capital grants, it has not been possible 10 undertake the restoration work. Because of its unsafe condition, the Burwick House has been closed to the public since the end of 1996. The Burwick House is now in urgent need of restoration. The Burwick House requires work on: foundation, sill plates, floor joists, windows, siding, roof, chimneys, brick oven, mechanical, electrical, drive shed, porches, eaves troughs, down spouts, drainage and grading, fencing. The Ministry of Citizenship, Culture, and Recreation has invited Black Creek Pioneer Village to apply for special funding for restoration, with grants to be released in total before the end of the 98/99 fiscal year. All successful projects must be completed by the end of Fiscal year 99/2000. Matching funding is a requirement but does not need to be in place at the commencement of the project. Black Creek should have no problem meeting the reconstruction time line, and could commence work within 4 to 6 weeks of approval from the Ministry. This is a unique opportunity because the Province has not provided significant capital grants to museums like Black Creek for some time. The funds must be committed before March 31, 1999. B40 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/99 February 12, 1999 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS About $85,000 is available from the Conservation Foundation to be used to match Ministry grant funding. Various sources of matching funding are being considered and staff will include this item in the 1999 Budget. Staff are confident that matching funding can be found since the requirement to match funds extends over two fiscal years.

Sediment & Erosion Control Details; submitted by Cosburn, Patterson, Mather; Figures 4, 5 & 6; received Feb. 4, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information' Proposal: I n order to allow for the movement of topsoil for the completion of earthworks prior to the construction of Pond C (for stormwater management), for the Markham Trails development, the applicant is proposing to construct a temporary watercourse crossing on Burndenet Creek. The crossing is designed as two, 10 metre long, 800 millimetre diameter CSP's (corrugated steel pipes) covered with clean rip rap. The watercourse is not permanently flowing in this reach and the upstream drainage area is less than 125 hectares. The Berczy Village Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) has been approved in principle. The study identified the construction of Pond C just south of the proposed watercourse crossing. The watercourse north of the Pond C location (where this crossing is occurring) has been proposed to be enclosed. A permit, under Ontario Regulation 158, has not been issued for the proposed watercourse enclosure upstream of this site. Control of Flooding: The works are not in the Regional Storm flood plain and will not affect the control of flooding. Pollution: Sediment fencing will be installed on both sides of the creek crossing to define the construction access and limit sedimentation. A rock check dam will be installed downstream of the proposed works and construction will occur in the dry. The works will be completed as quickly as possible to minimize sediment in the watercourse. Conservation of Land: The base of the culvert will be placed along the bed of the watercourse in order to minimize disturbance from installation and removal. This watercourse has been identified as potential coldwater fish habitat; however, it is intermittent and has no insitu fish habitat at present. Our staff are of the opinion that the construction timing guidelines for this watercourse (June 1 - September 15) may be flexible as the watercourse is not permanently flowing and does not provide insitu fish habitat. The disturbed areaswil~ stabilizecHollowing-the-completion of all works. There are no significant terrestrial habitats or features at this site. Policv Guidelines: The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to Section 4.3 -Infrastructure and Servicing and the Berczy Village MESP.

The existing low flow channel will be realigned and permanent pools, to create a wet facility, will be implemented within the pond bottom. In addition, scour basins will be included to dissipate the energy of water flowing into Pond 2A from the upstream developments. Control of Flooding: The watercourse drains an area greater than 125 hectares; however, the works invQlve excavation, for the construction of the permanent pools, within the Regional Storm flood plain. The grades outside of the proposed permanent pools will match existing grades. All stockpiling of material will occur outside of the limits of the Regional Storm flood plain. Therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected. February 12, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #1/99 853 Pollution: This watercourse is intermittent and dry for the majority of the year. The flow within the existing low flow channel will be maintained while the new low flow channel and wet ponds are constructed. Following the completion of the works, the flows will be redirected to the new low flow channel and wet ponds. The original channel will be abandoned and restored. A sediment fence will be erected around the perimeter of the site in order to define the development limits and contol sedimentation during construction. Conservation of Land: The existing dry facility has vegetative growth along the bottom and sides consisting of bushes, grasses and small trees. As part of the retrofit, a detailed planting strategy is proposed. The planting strategy will be finalized in the near future. No fishery resources will be impacted by the proposed works as all construction activity will be conducted in dry conditions; therefore, no authorization from the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans would be required.

A severence application (no. B/47/97) was conditionally approved by Authority staff. The conditions of the severence have since been satisfied. The majority of the property is located within the Unionville Special Policy Area (SPA); however, a portion of the rear of the property is located outside of the SPA boundary. Through the planning process, the non-SPA flood plain lands have been appropriately zoned to prevent structural development. The entire property is located within the Regional Storm flood plain and Fill Regulation Area of the Rouge River. Control of Flooding: Authority staff have confirmed that the Regional Storm flood plain elevation on this property is 174.60 metres C.G.D. (Canadian Geodetic Datum). The finished floor elevation of the structures will occur at an elevation of 175.15 metres C.G.D. The openings below the finished first floor will be floodproofed to the Regional Storm flood plain elevation. The structures are located entirely within the SPA limits. The existing grades along the property lines will be maintained with only minor regrading within the flood plain for lot grading purposes. Pollution: A sediment fence will be located close to the proposed works to define the construction limits and prevent sediment movement towards the watercourse. Conservation of Land: The disturbed area will be stabilized with sod following the completion of all works. No significant resource features will be impacted by the construction.

The existing parking area will also be rebuilt to support the new development. A portion of the property is located within the Regional Storm flood plain of German Mills Creek. The existing and proposed buildings are located almost entirely outside of the Regional Storm flood plain with only a minor addition occurring within the Regional Storm flood plain limits. The existing parking is located almost entirely within the floodplain; however, the proposed parking area is approximately the same size as the existing area. Control of Flooding: The existing and proposed buildings are located partially within the Regional Storm flood plain, With the parking located entirely within the Regional Storm flood plain. A portion of the existing structure experiences depths of flooding, under Regional Storm conditions, of 0.03 metres. The existing Regional Storm flood plain elevation is 239.59 metres C.G.D. (Canadian Geodetic Datum). The building will be flood proofed to an elevation of 239.60 metres. A portion of the subject property experiences 0.09 metres of flooding under Regional Storm conditions. This portion of the property IS mainly undeveloped with only a small portion supporting parking. The existing grades along the property lines will not be changed in order to maintain the existing drainage pattern and optimize flood storage on site. There will be minor regrading Within the floodplain for foundation frost protection purposes. Pollution: A sediment fence will be installed around the perimeter of the property in order to define the construction area and limit sedimentation. Portions of German Mills Creek have been piped through thiS area. The closest open portion of watercourse is located approximately 20 metres to the east (across Yonge Street) of the subject property. Conservation of Land: There are no significant resource features located on the subject property. Policv Guidelines: The proposal, as submitted, complies with existing Authority policy, involving a one zone approach for flood plain development.

To alter a waterway on Lot 9, Concession 3 ,(West Side of Harwood Avenue North, 230 metres North of Rossland Road), in the Town of Ajax, Duffins Creek Watershed as located on the property owned by Runnymede Development Corp. Ltd.. The purpose is to alter a waterway by installing a corrugated steel pipe culvert for the construction 01 a temporary haul road across Miller Creek. The permit will be issued for the period of February 12, 1999 to February 11, 2001 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: . Red-line Revised Plan prepared by Dillon Consulting Ltd., Project 98-5868-01, Drawing SK-1, Revision 1 dated February 5, 1999; received February 8, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of installing a corrugated steel pipe (CSP) culvert as part of the construction of a temporary haul road across a tributary of the Duffins Creek known as the Miller Creek. The temporary roadway will be in-place for a two (2) year period and is needed to move' fill material from a property east of Harwood Avenue to lands west of the watercourse. The works are within the approved Area 6, Neighbourhood 2 Secondary Planning Area. The Environmental Master Drainage Plan (EMDP) approved through the Secondary Plan allows for the relocation and renaturalization of tl:lis reach of Miller Creek; a separate permit application will be submitted at a later date for this work The majority of the temporary haul road will be located within the Regional Storm flood plain of Miller Creek. The site is not presently fill regulated; however, fill lines are proposed to encircle the stream corridor as part of the Authority's on-going Fill Regulation Extension Program. Control of Floodina: Authority staff has'reviewed<a hydraulic assessment prepared"by the project consultant and agrees that the temporary haul road will not affect the control of flooding. With the exception of the area around the CSP culvert, the roadway will be constructed at-grade within the Regional Storm flood plain. No stripped fill material originating from east of Harwood Avenue will be placed within the flood plain. February 12, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/99 857 Pollution: The area around the CSP culvert will be isolated by coffer dams so the installation work can occur under dewatered conditions. Silt fencing will be installed between the coffer dams to impede the overland migration of sediments from the road construction. Conservation of Land: This reach of the Miller Creek contains no defined valley corridor. Since the relocated and renaturalized watercourse and stream corridor will be vegetated extensively at a later date, as part of the EMDP scheme for the subject lands, native plantings will not occur at this time. All disturbed ground surfaces will be revegetated with a rapid germinating seed mixture following construction Since this reach of the watercourse does not presently provide any in situ fish habitat and a physical barrier to fish movement occurs downstream at the existing Rossland Road culvert, Authorization for the proposed works from the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans is not required. The proposed methods of sedimentation control will mitigate potential impacts to fish habitat downstream of the Rossland Road culvert. Policv Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 -Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to undertake the relocation of a tributary of Etobicoke Creek in order to facilitate the development of an industrial site. The permit will be issued for the period of February 12, 1999 to February 11, 2001 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: . letter" of- Undertaking 'from.~Mr."P. 'King,"'P.Eng.; Orlando Corporation; dated February 8, 1999 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 858 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/99 February 12, 1999 Proposal: To relocate an existing tributary of the Etobicoke Creek and construct a natural channel in order to facilitate the development of an industrial property (the former Asea Brown Bovieri site, now owned by Orlando Corporation). The works involve shifting the channel location around the northern and eastern perimeter of the site, constructing a low flow channel with natural bed and bank materials and creating a vegetated stream corridor which will convey Regional and 100 year Storm flows through the site. Control of Flooding: The two tributaries that cross the property both drain in excess of 125 'hectares. The smaller of the two, which runs along the northeast boundary of the site, will remain unaltered. The alteration of the larger tributary will be designed to convey the 100 year storm flood event (which is slightly greater that the Regional in this case) and will maintain or increase the riparian storage provided by the existing stream corridor. Pollution: The section of new channel will be constructed separately from the flow in the existing channel, therefore works can occur under "dry" conditions Conservation of Land: The subject proposal requires authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans as it represents a Harmful Alteration/Destructlon (HADD) of existing fish habitat. Staff are of the opinion that such approval may be granted based on the fact that the increase in the width of the proposed meander belt, the improved composition of the low flow channel and the restoration with native woody plant material are an improvement over the existing channel. The detailed design, which will include these issues as well as those of erosion control, will be worked out with staff based on the letter of undertaking by the proponent. Policy Guidelines: Although these works are not required to correct an existing erosion or flooding problem as permitted by Valley and Stream Corridor, staff are recommending approval based on an expectation of a net environmental gain over the existing stream corridor condition, which will include a functional natural channel, improvements to instream habitat and increased riparian and corridor vegetation. Final approval of the design and alignment is dependent on approval of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, as outlined in the previous section.

The Authority is in receipt of a request to consider the disposal of an approximate 4 acre (1.62 hectare) parcel of Authority-owned land in the vicinity of Advance Boulevard and Highway #407, City of Brampton, Etobicoke Creek Watershed. Moved by: Jim McMaster Seconded by: Ron Moeser THA T the potential disposal of a parcel of Authority-owned land in the vicinity of Advance Boulevard and Highway #407, City of Brampton, be referred to Authority staff for review in accordance with established Authority policies; AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action .......................................... CARRIED BACKGROUND This issue is being brought to your attention in accordance with Resolution #A289/94, adopted by the members of the Authority, at a meeting held on January 27, 1995. This resolution requires staff to bring requests for the purchase of Authority lands forward and requires Executive Committee direction for staff to begin the technical review, agency circulation and public consultation, at the end of which a recommendation will be made as to whether the property is surplus to the Authority's needs and can be considered for possible disposal. The Authority is in receipt of a request from a potential purchaser of the subject parcel. The lands in question consist of a remnant parcel of land-locked table land in the vicinity of Advance Boulevard and Highway #407 in the City of Brampton. These lands were originally purchased by the Authority in 1981 prior to the generation of flood plain mapping along this reach of the Etobicoke Creek; subsequently, it was discovered that only a portion of the lands (2.6 acres) were subject to flooding, with the balance of the lands (4.0 acres) representing table land. This four acre parcel was previously identified as surplus to the needs of the Authority in 1993 and went through an internal and external canvassing and review process. Given that this exercise pre- dated the current process for disposal of Authority lands, and in light of the time which has passed, staff are recommending a further canvassing and review of the property to confirm the acceptability of it being declared surplus. To this end, Authority staff will undertake a further technical review of the property as well as a canvass of public bodies (municipality, region, province) regarding its possible disposal. In the event it is deemed suitable to proceed with the disposal of the table land portion of the property it is proposed that the availability of the land be publicly advertised. FINANCIAL DETAilS Funds generated through the sale of surplus lands are employed towards the acquisition of high priority lands under approved Authority Land Acquisition Projects.

That the dates of the Public Use Advisory Board meetings be changed to following the Executive Committee meetings in the months when Public Use Advisory Board meetings are currently scheduled. Moved by: Jim McMaster Seconded by: Ron Moeser THAT the following changes be made to the 1999-2000 Meeting Schedule with respect to the Public Use Advisory Board Meetings: ORIGINAL DA TE NEW DA TE April 23, 1999 April 9, 1999 June 18, 1999 June 4, 1999 September 17, 1999 September 10, 1999 October 22, 1999 October 15, 1999 November 19, 1999 November 5, 1999 AND FURTHER THAT the Public Use Advisory Board Meetings be held at 11 :00 a.m. on the scheduled dates in the Humber Room, Head Office ........................ CARRIED BACKGROUND It was found in the 1998-99 year that quorum was more likely to be met at Public Use Advisory Board Meetings when they were on the same day as the Executive Committee. Once the 1999-2000 Advisory Board and Executive Committee members were determined at Annual Authority Meeting #1/99, it became apparent that similar scheduling will be optimal, given that four (4) members of the Public Use Advisory Board are also members of the Executive Committee. Report Prepared by: Kathy Stranks, extension 264 Date: February 2, 1999 RES.#B20/99 - PAlGRAVE POND RESTORATION CONCEPT PLAN Technical Investigations and Definition of Detailed Design Criteria Hiring of Consultant. To retain the services of consultants to conduct technical investigations and develop detailed design criteria for the Palgrave Pond Restoration Concept Plan. , 866 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/99 February 12, 1999 Moved by: Jim McMaster Seconded by: Ron Moeser THAT ~he firm of Paul Theil Associates Limited be retained to complete technical studies to define criteria for detailed design for the Palgrave Pond Restoration Project at a cost of $24,070.00 (excluding G.S.T.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND Palgrave Pond is located on the upper Humber River, on the east side of Regional Road #50 in the village of Palgrave. The pond was created in the 1850's when a dam was constructed in the river to provide a source of power for sawmill and later, gristmill operations. The pond remains today as a valued aesthetic and recreational amenity, contributing to the character and identity of the Village of Palgrave. In 1979 the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) acquired the dam under the Hazard Land Acquisition Program and initiated the reconstruction of the dam in 1983 to address concerns related to the integrity of the dam structure. In recent years, sediment accumulation has resulted in a decrease in water depth and a loss of open water area in the pond degrading the appearance of the pond and impairing the quality and diversity of aquatic habitat, both within the pond and the Humber River. In response to concerns with degradation of aquatic habitat associated with the pond, Ontario Streams initiated the 'Palgrave Dam Aquatic Habitat Restoration Project,' The Project was focussed on exploring alternative solutions to mitigate impacts on aquatic habitat and stream stability resulting from the presence of the dam and the pond. Through the process to develop their report, no consensus was achieved on a preferred solution. Based on the concerns expressed by the community, combined with other concerns related to the provision of fish migration around the dam and the pond, the TRCA initiated the designation of Palgrave Pond as a 'Community Action Site'. In 1998, the TRCA worked with the Palgrave Pond Committee and the community to generate the Palgrave Pond Restoration Concept Plan (Schollen & Company Inc., 1998). A copy of this plan is provided. The plan was endorsed by the community and stakeholders and the TRCA, in partnership with the community is working towards the implementation of the Concept Plan. The next step in this process is to undertake a series of detailed technical studies, to evaluate the technical feasibility of the various components of the Restoration Concept Plan and generate criteria and recommendations to direct the development of detailed design drawings for implementation of the Concept Plan.

While the Purchaser. entered into-an Agreement-of Purchase--and Sale for the entire 32.37 acres, his main objective was to build an office building on six acres more or less for his research and development firm, Aiolis Engineering. The Purchaser was looking for a natural setting for his head office to provide his employees with a setting conducive to his high tech use. 870 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/99 February 12, 1999 During discussions, it became apparent that the Purchasers had not reviewed the site in the field and assumed that the parcel of land the Authority was selling extended closer to the top of bank of the Humber River than actually included in the transaction. After extensive discussions and several field visits, a revision to the original agreement was tentatively agreed upon. The Members of the Authority at meeting #10/98 held on November 27, 1998 adopted resolution #A2.15/98 to amend the agreement: THA T WHEREAS the Toronto and Region Conservation Authorfty is in receipt of a request from Mr. Roland Vander Straeten, In Trust, to amend the Agreement of Purchase and Sale for Authority owned land on the west side of the 8th Line, north of Steeles Avenue, City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel; AND WHEREAS it is the opinion of the Authority that it is in the best interests of the Authority in furthering its objectives, as set out in Section 20 of the Conservation Authorities Act, to amend the sale to Mr. Roland Vander Straeten, In Trust, in this instance; THA T the Authority request the approval of the Minister of Natural Resources to amend the Agreement of Purchase and Sale on the following basis: (1) THAT an additional parcel of Authorfty owned land containing 0.2 acres, more or less, being Part of Lot 2, Concession 8, Northern Division, City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel be sold to Mr. Roland Vander Straeten, In Trust; THA T the sale be subject to the following terms and conditions (a) The sale price is to be $63,330.24 per acre. i.e.$12,666; (b) On completion of this transaction, the Authority is required to pay a commission of 5% of the purchase price to CB CommercIal Real Estate Group Canada Inc.; (c) The purchaser acknowledges that the Transfer/f?eed to the Property shall contain the following restrictive covenants: (I) Prohibit the use of the Property for any purpose other than "prestige industrial" as defined in Brampton's Official Plan Amendment No. 166; (ii) Satisfy the Authority that the Purchaser will only use reasonable Stormwater Best Management Practices; (iii) Complete an archaeological investigation and carry out any mitigative actions required at the Purchaser's expense.

In January, we were advised by the Purchaser that because of long delays in obtaining approval for their development and skepticism that Intermodal Drive would be constructed in the short term to service this area,..they were.cor.\cerned that they would.not-be able to sell the additional land they were not developing for their use. The Purchaser has indicated that they are still interested in the six acre site if there is another purchaser for the remainder of the property.

M3N lS-l: Dear lvrr O'Bnen and Members of the Board. Lake OntaTto Waterfront Trail and the Trans Canada Trail As I'm sure you are aware, there IS an organizatIon hopmg to create a tratl across Canada. The Trans Canada Trail (TCT) IS a powerful idea - supported by a sophistIcated and engagmg marketing campalgn that resonates With Canadians. The origmal prermse of the TCT antIcipated a largely rural expenence created pnmanly by convertmg ralilines to trails. The models for ru.."1ding (536 per kUometre) and commurucatIons ("world's longest nature path") were based on tlus assumptIon. The TCT orgamzers are now mterested m mc1udmg certam urban areas. To this end, we at the Waterfront Regeneration Trust were contacted on the questIon of deslgnahng sectIons of the Waterfront Trail, parhcularly between Hamilton and -.. Toronto, as part of the TCT. The Waterfront Trail ~vould slgruncantly enhance the TCT expenence and the orgamzatIOn's fundralsmg capaCity The Waterfront Trail would be ; one of most popular sections of the TCT because It offers a vanety of attrachons and , amemhes. provldmg mearungful places for everyor',e I I Because the development of the vVaterrronr Trail has de?enced on the est3bl1snment and mamtenance of partnerships. ~q~ orgamzed a series of meehngs mvolnm!.' members of the lake Ontario Waterfront ;";c::twork (lO\oV:-.i to conSider the partiClp;non of the TCT m the Waterrront Trail Based on these meehngs, I "~'ould like to ofter the followmg thoughts.

It includes: . Public involvement and education . ParticipationagreemenG . Integrity of the Waterfront Trail. The success of our Waterfront Trail partnership depends in part on the principle that local communities make decisions, based on public consultation, regarding their section of the Waterfront Trail We hope the checklist helps to inform your d~ion. We are proud of our joint accomplishmenG over the past 10 years. We are committed to continuing our work with you to build the excellent reputation of the Waterfront Trail, and promoting it as a powerful symbol of our collective commitment to waterfront regeneration.

B83 - EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #2/99 March 5. 1999 . I . . I , f I 0 ExpectatlOns for the design, locatIon and content of the paVlllzons (donor boards) should be clearly spelled out. The TeT's donor program relies on the construction of pavillions (donor boards) along the Trail where donors will find their name. It should be clear how long pavillions are expected to remain in place and how they will be maintained. Also the TCf should clarify the length of tune an individual's or corporate name will be posted on the pavillion. It 15 our understanding that trail owners are not required to accept a pavillion on their stretch of trail, although the Tef would likely seek high- ! profile locations such as your waterfront for the pavillions. Trail owners should be able to opt out of the pavillion program after a specified period of tune. I , 0 Past and new partners who have contnbuted to the Waterfront Trail should be recognized I on TCT pavzllions and m TCT literature. Within your community local people have contributed time and effort to the creation of the Waterfront Trail. The TCT's communications program should provide opportunities to recogruze these relationships, parbcularly since the ratio of TCf funds to local funds is at the most 51 to $5 (in areas where financial contributions are made by the TeT). 0 The TCT should clearly commzt to sustainmg the publzc and donor interest they have mitzated and should develap a plan that addresses the need for on-going investment in trailbuildmg. Integrity of the Waterfront Trail i 0 TCT's partiCipatIOn m Waterfront Trazl should respect Waterfront Trad design, signage and mamtenance gUldelmes. The Waterfront Trail Grapluc Standards found in the appendix of The Waterfront Trail Design, 5zgnage and Mamtenance Guzdelines do not allow for the placement of any logos or stickers on Waterfront Trail directional signs. Trailhead SIgns, however, could signal where the Waterfront Trail is designated as TCf. There are additional mstances where Waterfront Trail guidehnes 'Nill prevail (e.g., the Waterfront Trail pemuts only non-motonzed uses whereas the TCT encourages multi-uses including snowmobiles and A TVs). I The Lake Ontano waterfront communities should contmue to work collaboratzvely in the I 0 grcrllJing network commztted to realbng theIr viSIOn of a regenerated waterfront. I , Over the past ten years the waterfront communities have been instrumental in developing a strategy to regenerate the waterfront and implementing that strategy -. through projects that collectively create the Waterfront Trail between Kingston and Niagara-on-the-Lake. This network is an important and vibrant vehicle for development, enjoyment, teaching and learning. Much work is still to be done. Projects underway and in planning need continued support. The Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail 15 about protecting and restonng those elements of the waterfront that we value: ecological health, a sense of community and economic vitality.

I . i Checklist for Trans Canada Trail Participation Pre?ared b, ::-.e 'Ivaterrront R~gener.:lt1on Trust February fa. 1999 Public involvement and education 0 The communzty should have the opportunzty to learn about the TCT proposal and express their expectations and concerns. There 15 a temptation to assume that because the commuruty has accepted the Waterfront Tratl, they would have no 15sues with respect to the adchhon of the TCT designahon. Designation of the Waterfront Trail as part of the Trans Canada Trail should be understood by the local resldents who may have concerns regarding user conflicts and congeshon or have expectahons as to how the designation would be used to attract funds to Improve ameruhes and alignments on their portion of the T rali. 0 The community should understand where their donations will be spent. The public should have a clear understandmg of how funds donated from within thelI commuruty to the TCT will be spent. From the TCT hterature, people might assume that their 536 donation would help build their community's portion of the TCT. Donors can choose a preferred location where thelI name will appear on a pav1..lhon (donor board), but tlus does not reflect where the money is spent. A number of community groups are engaged in fundraising activities (e.g., Oakville Waterfront Festival) and may have concerns and questions related to the potential compehhon created by the TCT fundraising campalgn. 0 The TCT should participate In and support the publzc particlpatzon process. . 1 TCT should be represented throughout the pubhc process to assist in explaining the vislOn, to learn about any concerns reused and to comrrut to addressing them. , I Participation Agreements 0 The terns oj uny partzc:patwn ugreemen: shoula be cleur!y Otlt:IIUd. !

Glven that the Waterfront Trail between Toronto and Hamilton is largely in place, it would appear that Waterfront Trail municipalities and conservation authorities would be unhkely to receive funds for important trail improvements. The current TCT fundmg priorihes need to be revised to give lugher priority to trail improvements.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of the works are to protect an exposed sanitary sewer maintenance hole located on the south bank of Berry Creek. The stream bank has experienced extensive erosion which has exposed the existing sanitary sewer maintenance hole. An armour stone wall will be constructed along a portion of the south bank of Berry Creek. This wall will extend from an existing erosion scar to a point beyond the maintenance hole. Large river run stone will be placed along the base of the armour stone wall in order to prevent undercutting. In order to maintain channel width throughout this reach, the streambank opposite the armour stone wall is being widened. A meander bend located upstream and on the opposite bank of the armour stone wall will be stabilized through the planting of native woody species. Two rocky ramps are being proposed in the watercourse. One will be located upstream of the proposed works and the other will be located between the downstream end of the armour stone wall and the meander bend. Control of Flooding: The Regional Storm flood plain will not be affected by these works. Pollution: Access to the site will occur along the tableland portion of the site. A maintenance road will be constructed from an existing pathway to the sanitary sewer maintenance hole. The works will occur under dry conditions. Conservation of tand: The disturbed areas will be stabilized using seed. The riparian areas are being planted with the native woody species. The works are considered to be mitigation pursuant to the Federal Fisheries Act. Approval from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has been obtained for the works.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: B103 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 March 5, 1999 Proposal: The submitted application is the culmination of the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process for the Martin Grove Road extension across Robinson Creek, which was submitted to the Authority for review in February 1996. Authority staff were consulted throughout the study process, and were also provided the opportunity to provide comments on the alternatives under consideration As part of the Class EA process, staff confirmed that the preferred alternative meets the intent of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. The current application is for the preferred alternative identified through the Class EA process. The undertaking requires temporary and permanent easements on valleylands owned by TRCA. This permit is subject to the approval of the property item included in part 1 of this agenda. The proposal is to undertake regrading and place fill within the Fill Regulated area of the Humber River and construct two pier structures within the Regional flood plain of the Humber River (Robinson Creek) to facilitate the construction of a two lane bridge over Robinson Creek as part of the Martin Grove Road Extension. The proposal consists of cutting and filling activities to construct the bridge abutments on the north and south sides of the valley corridor, and the construction of two supporting pier structures in the flood plain. Filling to construct the bridge approaches will require 6 m of fill material is some locations, and cuts of 3 m in other locations. A temporary access road will be constructed down the south valley slope and into the valley to provide a platform for the construction of the pier structures to support the bridge. No work will take place in the watercourse. Control of Flooding: No filling will occur within the Regional storm flood plain. Only the two supporting pier structures will be constructed within the Regional flood plain. During the Class EA process, HEC-2 modeling was submitted confirming that there would be no Impacts on flood storage or conveyance. ThiS study was reviewed by staff and found to be satisfactory. Pollution: Sediment control measures will be put into effect before construction commences and will remain m place until all disturbed areas have been stabilized. Conservation of Land: A geotechnical report in support of the stability of the cutting and filling activity related to the bridge approaches and abutments has been reviewed by staff and determined to be satisfactory. All disturbed areas will be planted with native tree and shrub species following construction. There are no fisheries issues as no work will take place within the watercourse. Stormwater from the bridge will be treated in the adjacent Dewberry stormwater pond. Policy Guidelines: The proposal com pi ieswith-S ection 4.3-.ffifrastructure and-8ervicing --of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: In order to undertake repairs on the Prince Edward Viaduct at the Bloor/Danforth bridge, the Toronto Transit Commission is proposing to establish a temporary fenced equipment/staging area, 55'm by 27 m in size, on the west side of the watercourse, adjacent to the valley wall. The fence is required for security reasons. No repair activity ~ill take place from the valley floor. The area is currently flat with no significant vegetation and is located adjacent to a school play area. Fencing already exists arOlln<:l-tRe site-as-part~f the"5perts-faeility;-however~ome additional fencing is required. Control of Flooding: The depths and velocities of flow are approximately 2 m and 0.04 m/s respectively under Regional Storm conditions. Although these depths are significant, the velocities are very low. There is little risk that materials stored would move off the site under flooding conditions, In addition, there is no other area appropriate for storage and staging adjacent to the viaduct where the flood risks are less. , 8113 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 March 5. 1999 Pollution: The staging area will be located 120 metres from the Don Ri~er and is isolated by Bayview Avenue and the CPR tracks. There is little risk of pollution from the staging area. Conservation of Land: No significant resource features will be impacted by this use. Policy Guidelines: Under the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, fencing is considered a new structure in the flood plain and in this regard the proposal is not in compliance with policy. However, as the need has been established, the fencing is temporary, and the flood risks are minimised, staff are recommending approval of this proposal.

March 5, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 8114 The permit will be issued for the period of March 5, 1999 to March 4, 2004 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: THAT staff be directed to issue a permit to undertake regrading works, construct a stormwa~er management facility and a sanitary sewer in the fill regulated area and floodplain of Robinson Creek (Humber River Watershed) as proposed in application 237/98{VAUG once the following information is received: 1. Technical details to the satisfaction of staff addressing the issues raised in correspondence dated November 10,1999 and memorandum dated February 25,1999; 2. Confirmation that the City of Vaughan has no objection to the proposed works on City owned lands south of Langstaff Road. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: To undertake regrading works in the regulated area of the Robinson Creek, construct a stormwater management facility in the valley of the Robinson Creek and construct a sanitary sewer within the valley of the Robinson Creek. The works are required to service the proposed residential development of the former Wilson Century Theatre lands, now owned by Dewberry Construction Ltd, The sanitary outfall component of the works is located in the Robinson Creek valley south of Langstaff Road, where an existing sanitary trunk sewer is located. These lands are owned by the City of Vaughan Approval of the City is required for these works. This item has been added at the request of the agent for the owner, G.M. Sernas and Associates. Final technical details, including pond grading, adjustments to the final drainage area and the hydrologic model and landscape plan revisions, are still required. Control of Flooding: The proposed grading and stormwater management facility are located outside the Regional Storm floodplain. The trenching required for the sanitary sewer is located within the floodplain, however no changes to existing grades are proposed. The control of flooding will not be affected. The proposed pond will control water quality and quantity in conformance with the Rainbow Creek Master Drainage Plan and Humber River watershed stormwater management criteria. Pollution: As part of the proposal, an erosion and sedimentation plan has been submitted indicating a combination of measures10 be used-on the"site,'inc1oding sntation'fencing, rock check dams and mud mats. All disturbed areas in the valley associated with the pond and sanitary outfall will be rehabilitated with native woody vegetation. 8115 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 March 5, 1999 Conservation of Land: The grading and lot design for the draft plan is in conformance with a geotechnical report prepared for the site which establishes setbacks from the existing slope. The pond will outlet to an outfall channel which will terminate before the low flow channel of the Creek, therefore the works are not considered to result in harmful alteration to fish habitat. A rehabilitation plan for the pond area and sanitary outfall area forms part of the approval. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with the approved Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program Section 4.1.1 - New Development and 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing.

Moved by: Sill Saundercook Seconded by: Donna Patterson IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT King Township be advised that the Authority is prepared to circulate Fill Permit applications made under Ontario Regulation #158 to Township staff for review and comment subject to: . Agreed to criteria for determining which applications should be circulated being developed; . Authority stated service delivery standards with respect to response times being respected; . King Township recognizing the limited tests the Conservation Authorities Act and the Fill Regulation require for determining if a permit should be issued or denied; . Staff work with King Township and the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, to detennine how we might work together to use both the Authorities' Fill Regulations and the Township's Fill Bylaw in a more coordinated and effective way; . Staff will report back to the Executive Committee when this coordinated approach has been finalized, indicating whether or not the continued circulation of fill permits is required. March 5, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 8116 AND FURTHER THAT the Township of King and the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority be so advised. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND King Township at its meeting held September 8, 1998 passed the following Resolution: That the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority and the Toronto Region Conservation Authority be requested to provide Council with a copy of all fill permit applications within the Township of King prior to the issuance of the fill permits. This Resolution was brought to the attention of the Authority's Executive Committee at its meeting on October 16, 1998 and staff were directed to work with King Township and the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority on this matter and report back. Discussions have been held with staff of the Lake Simcoe Region Authority and a meeting was also held with our respective King Township representatives, Councillor Pabst and Councillor Vander Kooij, to diSCUSS King's request. This issue arose from a Fill Permit that the Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority issued to a reSident within their area of jurisdiction and within King Township. Once the permit had been Issued, the owner proceeded to fill well beyond the approved limits of the permit Authority staff, King Township and the nelghbours have all expressed concern about the amount of fill, the type and quality of the fill being dumped and the damage to the local environment. King Township does not want similar situations to arise and therefore they have requested that fill permit applications be circulated by the Authorities to the Township for their review. Currently, there are very few fill permit applications made to this Authority from within the Township of King. Therefore at this time, circulating applications to the Township would not create a great deal of additional work for Authority staff. However, we have set 8 weeks as our delivery standard for the review and processing of permit applications and we would not want the circulation to King to unreasonably delay or extend our service delivery commitments, Another issue relates to the specific nature of our Fill Regulations as set out in the Conservation Authorities Act. Our review of applications is a technical review to determine if in the opinion of the Authority, the proposal affects the control of flooding, pollution or the conservation of land, Therefore the Authority can only refuse a permit if one or more of these technical reasons apply. King Township in their review, may offer various reasons as to why a permit should be refused, however the Authority can not take them into account unless they relate to the three tests described above. The Conservation Authorities Act does not allow for third party standing in any hearing related to the denial of a Fill Permit nor does it allow for any appeals by a third party. Input from King Township would be 'of interestto ther1\athority in 'carrying out its review, however it may not, In the end, have much bearing on the Authority's ability to deny a permit unless their comments deal with the three technical tests. 8117 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 March 5, 1999 One final aspect of King's request was discussed at our meeting with the Councillors and that dealt with the development of criteria which would allow Authority staff to determine whether the application should be circulated or not. This is based on the assumption that the Township will not want to review every application as many are for fairly minor works. It was agreed further discussion on the development of such criteria was necessary to not create unnecessary delays or waste valuable staff time in reviewing applications which would not be of concern to King Township. This criteria should, be completed prior to commencing any circulation. There are further concerns with filling, which deal more with the type of fill being brought from outside sources and the fact that there are no requirements to identify the source of the fill or its quality. This type of activity is occurring more and more as disposal costs increase and It is occurring in areas not regulated by a Conservation Authority. Fortunately many municipalities, including The Township of King, have their own Fill Bylaw, which allows the municipality to regulate filling anywhere within its boundaries. In most cases these bylaws do not apply in areas where there are Authority regulations in order to eliminate any duplication. These municipal fill bylaws do provide some control over the types of filling operations deSCribed above and can assist in protecting valley and stream corridors where the Authorities' regulations are not in place. Authority staff also have a great deal of experience in dealing with filling issues and in identifying the adverse impacts of filling on the natural resources of the watersheds. It makes sense therefore, that the Authorities and the Municipality work together to coordinate their efforts in dealing with unapproved filling or in providing advice on various proposals. Indiscriminate filling can have many adverse impacts on the natural environment, especially if the fill is of poor quality. There are also social impacts such as additional traffic, noise and dust which must be taken into account by a municipality. In order to ensure that the impacts from all filling applications or unauthorized filling operations are addressed, it is recommended that staff from both Authorities and the Township discuss how we might work together, using both the Fill Regulations and the Bylaw, to control undesirable filling throughout the Township. In the interim, until this coordinated approach to the placement of fill has been resolved, circulation of specifiC fill permit applications will continue. Depending on the success of the approach, the continued circulation of fill permits may not be necessary. Staff will report back to the Authority at that time on the necessity of continuing this practice, Staff are currently working with the Town of Caledon and the Credit Valley Conservation Authority on this very issue and some form of agreement on our respective roles is expected shortly and this could be used as a model for our discussions with the Township of King. CONCLUSION Given the relatively small number of permit applications we receive within King Township and the potential benefits to be derived from working together to control indiscriminate and destructive filling. it is recommended'that weClgree-to circUIa1e"Fill "Permit applications to King Township staff for their review and comment subject to: . King Township recognizing that although they may make various comments, the Authority can only use the narrow tests defined in the Act and the Regulation to determine whether a permit should be issued or denied. March 5, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 8118 . Staff, in conjunction with the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority and King Township, developing criteria for determining which applications should be circulated for review and the most effective process for obtaining comments in a timely manner. . King Township recognizing our published service delivery standards with respect to processing times. . Staff of both Authorities and King Township discussing how we might work together to provide the most effective level of control using both the Authority's Regulation and the Township's Fill Bylaw. . Staff report back to the Executive Committee when this coordinated approach to fill permits/bylaw has been resolved, indicating whether or not continued circulation of fill permits is required. I can advise that the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, at its Board of Directors meeting held January 29, 1999 has supported circulating applications as requested by King through the following Resolution. RESOL VED THAT the correspondence listed in the January 29, 1999 agenda be received for information; and THAT the Authority respond to King Township's letter updating the municipality on the application and advising. that the Authority will provide a copy of fill permit applications to King Township staff prior to the issuance of the permit; and FURTHER THAT staff continue to discuss with King Township staff the type of fill applications to be circulated for review. FINANCIAL DETAILS Given the small number of applications which will be circulated, at least in the near future, any additional staff or processing costs will be minimal. This will be monitored over time. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Subject to the Committee's approval and King Townships agreement, staff will begin our discu~sions on the various protocols and criteria described in this report. Circulation will commence upon agreement on these parameters. For information contact: J.

Hiring The Angus Reid Group to undertake market research on public awareness, public attitudes, and public behavioural patterns related to environmental, heritage, and recreation issues in the Humber River watershed. Moved by: Jim McMaster Seconded by: Michael Di Biase IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT The Angus Reid Group be hired to undertake market research on public awareness, public attitudes, and public behavioural patterns related to environmental, heritage, and recreation issues in the Humber River watershed, at a cost not to exceed $23,500 plus GST. AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to execute the documentation required ........................................... CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1997, the Humber Watershed Task Force published Legacy: A Strategy for a Healthy Humber and its companion document A Gaff to Action - Implementing Legacy: A Strategy for a Healthy Humber. These reports act as a framework for guiding government and community actions to protect, restore and celebrate the Humber River. Later in 1997, the Humber Watershed Alliance was created to communicate, educate and facilitate activities to achieve the objectives identified in Legacy, In order to report progress towards achieving the objectives of the Humber River management plan, the Humber Watershed Alliance requires baseline information on the level of awareness and behavioural patterns of the residents in the Humber River watershed. The results of the market research will be used in the follOWing ways: 1. As baseline information for inclusion in a "report card" reporting on current conditions in the watershed. Future report cards will update the information, identify changes in public attitudes and awareness regarding environmental issues and the work of the TRCA; 2. As baseline research information for the development of a communications strategy; and 3. Direct future programs and work plans for the Humber Watershed Alliance. Six market research consultants were asked to review the Terms of Reference and submit quotes on conducting the-public 'Opinion-survey:-Ouotes were based on a 15 to 20 minute survey An overall accuracy level of approximately three percentage points can be attained with a sampling of 900 respondents.

CARRIED 8121 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 March 5, 1999 BACKGROUND The following information has been submitted to the Public Use Advisory Board for the information of the Members of the Board. TRCA requires outside consulting expertise to work with staff to deliver an innovative, entrepreneurial, and practical multi-year business plan that will enable BCPV to achieve a greater degree of program revenue self-sufficiency. The project scope includes reviewing retail, program, and operational aspects of BCPV in relation to the implementation of the defined marketing strategy "Country Living in the City". A copy of the Request For Expressions of Interest is attached. Six consulting firms were invited to submit proposals: Forrec Ltd./Pannell Kerr Forster DS-Lea Associates The Economic Planning Group of Canada KPMG Mr. Peter Zarry, Shulich School of Business, York University Mason Shaw Andrew These firms were chosen because they have demonstrated experience in the type of business plan development/implementation in which we have an interest. Two of the firms were among those short listed by the Metro Zoo in seeking consultants for a recent assignment. KPMG and the Economic Planning Group have worked successfully with the Authority previously. RATIONALE Three firms responded with expressions of interest and were interviewed: Forrec Lld./Pannell Kerr Forster - recently completed major assignment for the Metro Zoo - experience with several historic sites and other attractions - proposed two phase approach; phase one leading to interim report on development/financial opportunities at a cost of $25,000 - phase two to be decided after phase one Analysis - not able to offer depth of experience required - Forrec strength is in site development and architectural issues which are not a pnority at BCPV during this exercise - did not demonstrate clear understanding of the needs of BCPV business plan process - phase one consistent with other proposals but represents only one quarter of what is needed KPMG - has worked successfully with TRCA in evaluation of food an retail opportunities at BCPV in 1997 - approach suggested concentrated heavily 'on experience with other historic sites; BCPV is well established as a heritage site...need support to address its role as an attraction with strong financial self sufficiency - proposed staffing for this assignment did not demonstrate the same depth of experience offered by MSA - recommended 4 phase approach; minimum cost $69,OOO..Maximum $81,000 plus taxes and expenses (would firm up fixed fee at start of each phase) March 5, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 8122 Mason Shaw Andrew (MSA) - offered the most innovative approach and depth and breadth of experience not demonstrated in either of the other firms. - demonstrated project experience with a wide variety of attractions; did not confine their approach to the role of BCPV as a museum - consulting team is the strongest of the three with expertise in key areas: food, retail, tourism, marketing, financial planning and business turn around Subject to negotiation of a contract satisfactory to the Authority, Staff recommends to the Executive Committee that Mason Shaw Andrew (MSA) Management Consultants, be awarded the work. FINANCIAL DETAILS The proposal from MSA, aside from offering experience and creativity includes an innovative approach to fees. Their proposal is that the Authority make an initial payment and that the balance of any fees agreed to will be based on the successful implementation of their work. MSA and the Authority will agree as to the revenue improvements projected as a result of implement the results of the consultant's work. The consultant will receive a percentage share of the proceeds over the next two to three years. The proposal is that MSA receive a fee of $30,000 to cover initial work which will be decided by the Management Team and the consultant. The Consultant estimates that the fixed price value of their work would be about $90,000. They propose that the balance of their fees be tied to successful revenue generation through implementation of a business plan the consultant will work with us to create. The balance of their fees is $60,000. They propose that if their is no increase in revenue in agreed upon categories, they receive nothing more than the base fee of $30,000. If the revenue generation is successful, they propose that they receive 20% of the increase in revenues to a maximum of $120,000. This means that they have the potential to be paid as much as $150,000 or as little as $30,000. Staff propose to cap this amount...that is the most they can ever receive is $150,000 and that this arrangement will conclude no later than December 31, 2001. This gives them 3 years to reach their $150,000 threshold and spreads the Authority costs over the three years. To be very clear, this is the total amount that they can receive over the entire term of the arrangement. It is not an annual amount. Once they have been paid the $150,000 maximum, the agreement is satisfied. To achieve $150,000 at 20%, revenues as a result of the consultants recommended strategies would have to improve by $750,000. This is a very ambitious target given that not all of the growth in BCPV revenues will be necessarily attributed to this exercise. The advantage of this proposat'is that MSkbecomes a partner with us as we implement the agreed upon changes. They have a strong incentive to continue to work with us and support implementation of the business plan since our success will be their success. Because there are many variables that are beyond the control of both parties, i.e. weather, staff believe a two to three arrangement will be best. It allows a fair time for implementation and averages the results 8123 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 March 5, 1999 DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Details of the contractual agreement, including fee structure, project deliverables and time frame, evaluation criteria, and sunset conditions are currently being finalized. As part of the process, the Public Use Advisory Board and other interested Authority members will be consulted. The final business plan will be presented to the Public Use Board for review prior to implementation.

Released December 10th, 1998 , 8125 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 March 5, 1999 REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST CONSULTANT SUPPORT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE BUSINESS PLAN SUMMARY The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is seeking proposals from qualified individuals or companies to provide consulting support to staff in the development and implementation of a business plan for the Authority's heritage facility, Black Creek Pioneer Village. The TRCA will consider proposals which demonstrate the expertise and ability to deliver an innovative, entrepreneurial approach to creation of a practical business plan that will enable the Village to become a uniquely attractive, financially self-sufficient destination for tourists and local consumers. BACKGROUND Black Creek Pioneer Village, a heritage project of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, is located at the south east corner of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue in the City of Toronto (former City of North York), and extends to the northwest into the City of Vaughan, regional Municipality of York. A top ten tourist attraction in the Greater Toronto Region, Black Creek features a living history village public program involving 40 historic buildings, heritage gardens, livestock, a 50,000 item artifact collection, 25 costumed interpreters who perform daily tasks and demonstrations, and exhibition gallery with changing exhibitions. Attendance in past years has averaged about 190,000 visitors annually. In the last ten years, there has been a steady decline in visitor attendance and in 1998, attendance is projected at about 160,000. MARKETING STRATEGY In 1998, a new marketing strategy was created to enable the Village to focus its activities and resources to attract a growing consumer segment of the population, the ages 35 to 60, adult, so called baby boomers. This strategy was tested through programming and consumer surveys during the 1998 operating season. The marketing theme, Country Living in the City is summarized in the following paragraph: .. There's a place that practices the simpler art of life. Take some of it home with you. Country Uving in the City at Black Creek Pioneer Village, March 5, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 8126 Country Living in the City is a new product offering that appeals to the growing consumer trend for the simpler life as imagined in country lifestyle choices, natural/country home decor and fumishings, gardening, holistic health practices, naturalization of one's environment, herb cultivation and uses etc, Country living in the City offers a country place, a sanctuary, a country lifestyle demonstration venue, a beautifully restored country heritage village, a living breathing prototype with role model personalities who offer you an altemative to the hustle and bustle of the city and reintroduce you to the charm, authenticity and simple beauty of country/natural lifestyles. Conceptually, Country Living in the City is a country lifestyle magazine brought to life for visitors with a wide range of things to see and do which allows the visitor to fulfill their aspirations, curiosity and experimentation with country lifestyle choices and activities. Within the backdrop of a fully restored heritage village, visitors are transported by horse drawn wagons through country lanes, 30 heritage homes, traditional craft and trades shops, gardens, farms, cookeries etc. all brought to life by informative, costumed country villagers who hold that special secret of the simpler art of life, Changing seasonal programs, entertainment, food sampling, participatory demonstrations, special talks and features by home and garden experts, engaging new experiences, lots of varied retail opportunities to buy a piece of country lifestyle help to round out a fulfilling consumer experience designed to attract a broad new range of loyal customers who will be inspired to retum again and again on a seasonal basis, The Village has created a number of programs and activities around the Country Living Theme. Enclosed is the 1998 Visitor Guide illustrating this, as well as samples of promotional material. The consultant is asked to evaluate and comment on the appropriateness and potential of the "Country Living in the City" marketing strategy. TOURISM OPPORTUNITIES Local, regional and international tourism is and must continue to be a significant portion of Black Creek attendance. Black Creek has staff actively pursuing group travel trade opportunities and works with Tourism Toronto in promotional opportunities, Along with retail opportunities, the consultant is asked to explore with the TRCA staff, partnership and other opportunities to enhance the value of Black Creek as a multiple destination site combining tourism, retail and recreation/entertainment activities. RETAIL OPPORTUNITIES . The Village operates a retail gift shop in the Visitor Centre and the Laskey Store located in the Village itself. The Village has a restaurant located in the Halfway House and provides wedding, event planning and banquet services for private and corporate groups. Food and retail sales total about $1.5 million annually. 8127 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 March 5, 1999 EDUCATION The Village has a substantial education program serving the historical curriculum needs of Toronto area school boards through curriculum-based tours and hands-on programs delivered by part-time guides. About 48,000 school children participate in the program each year. BUSINESS PLAN OBJECTIVES . To achieve a greater degree of program revenue self-sufficiency such that tax supported funding is limited to approximately 25% of total funding needs or about $1.1 million (1998 dollars); an increase of about $500,000 over 1998 projected actual results. . To preserve cultural heritage assets which typify pre-Confederation Canada While the emphasis of the business plan must be on the coming calendar year, 1999, the plan will recognize and articulate needs to be addressed in the years 2000 and 2001. A copy of the Authority's 1998-2000 Business Plan is enclosed (note pages 34 and 42) Revenue is generated from the following sources (see enclosed spread sheet): Admission fees Parking Gift Shop and Laskay Emporium Village-made products Restaurant and Catering Service Special Functions and Meeting Facilities Weddings Commercial Photography Artifact and Costume rental PERFORMANCE MEASURES Among key performance indicators to be identified in the business plan will be: . attendance targets by various category . group tour/corporate event revenue targets . retail/food sales volume and per capita revenue targets ," . parking revenues . visitor satisfaction standards by survey . expenditure efficiencies in terms of cost of sales/labour in relation to internal and external standards ..., , March 5, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 8128 TERMS OF REFERENCE Selection Process Until 12 noon on December 31 st, 1998, TRCA will receive, at its offices at 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview, proposals from selected consultants.

The Authority's Job Evaluation System, put in place in 1980, did not meet the requirements of Pay EqUity. In 1991, to ensure compliance with the Pay Equity legislation we purchased the rights to use the Universal Job Evaluation Plan. Since 1991 we have used the Authority's Job Evaluation System as our formal system with periodic checks against the Universal Plan. We continued with the dual Job Evaluation systems purely for economic reasons, There were simply no funds available to implement the new system. Since April 1997 we have evaluated all of our positions using the new system. It is now time to implement the results Our current Salary and Wage Schedule related directly to our old job evaluation system. It categorizes jobs into groupings that no longer fit the way we now do our work or design our jobs and the old salary grid had too many ranges for the number of jobs in our organization. A new salary structure must be implemented that relates directly to the Universal Job Evaluation Plan. Our salaries and wages have remained unchanged since April 1992 and we have lost ground in the marketplace. Although many of our jobs have changed significantly during the last few years we have not reclassified positions pending the introduction of the new Job Evaluation System. The overall results using the new Job Evaluation System addresses the issues of internal equity. But, due to cost, our new salary schedule was developed based on 1997 market comparisons less 3%. The Authority's salaries and wages have remained unchanged since April 1992. Our competitive position in the market p1ace is being erodeB, To remain competitive we must keep pace with employers in our market area, particularly among our member municipalities. In 1998 a number of our member municipalities provided economic adjustments ranging from 1 - 2%. For 1999 economic adjustments are in the range of 2 - 2.5%. As indicated above, our new salary structure is based on 1997 market comparisons less 3%. A 1999 economic adjustment of 1.5% will assist us with market competitiveness and provide a much needed boost to employee morale. , 8131 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 March 5, 1999 FINANCIAL DETAILS The impact on the operating budget to implement the new Job Evaluation System is $479,944 over four years; $182,640 in 1999, $146,790 in 2000, $122,178 in 2001 and $28,336 in 2002. The total cost over four years represents 4% of total annual salaries/wages. Funds have been set aside in the 1999 budget pending Executive Committee approval. The cost of an economic adjustment of 1.5% effective April 1 , 1999 is $146,000. Funds have been set aside in the 1999 budget pending Executive Committee approval.

Authorization for staff to request party status and represent Authority interests before the Ontario Municipal Board on a referral related to a proposed plan of subdivision, zoning by-law amendments and official plan amendment by Homefounders Development Joint Venture \ Gieger in the Town of Uxbridge. Moved by: Bill Saundercook Seconded by: Donna Patterson THAT staff be authorized to request Party status and to represent Authority interests before the Ontario Municipal Board on the referrals by Homefounders Development Joint Venture \ Gieger; THAT staff be directed to make suitable arrangements with the Region of Durham to share their legal counsel, or should The Authority's and The Region's position no longer coincide then staff be directed to retain appropriate separate legal representation with respect to these matters, premised on which option provides the Authority with the strongest and most cost effective representation; THAT staff continue to pursue the resolution of Authority issues in cooperation with relevant parties and/or participants prior to the"Hearing; AND FURTHER THAT the Town of Uxbridge and The Regional Municipality of Durham be so advised. . . . . .. . .. . .. . . ... . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED March 5, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 8132 BACKGROUND The Homefounders Development Joint Venture \ Gieger Umited lands comprise approximately 16.7 hectares of land within the Township of Uxbridge. The lands are situated on the Oak Ridges Moraine within the Duffins Creek Watershed, north of Webb Road and east of the 4th Conces~lon (See Attachment 1). The property is legally described as Part of Lots 8 & 9, Concession 4. Planning The Homefounders Development Joint Venture \ Gieger (Homefounders) are proposing to develop a 44 lot country residential subdivision comprised of single detached dwellings serviced by individual wells and septics on lots ranging in size from 1.48 acres to 3.8 acres. The property is currently designated "Oak Ridges Moraine" in the "Major Open Space System" of the Durham Official Plan and is zoned "Rural" in Zoning By-law 81-19, of the Township of Uxbndge Zoning By- law. Both the Official Plan designation and the zoning do not permit the proposed residential development. The Region of Durham, the Town of Uxbridge and the Province have identified outstanding concerns related to matters such as Market Needs, Growth and Settlement, OMAFRA setbacks, adjacent aggregate resources and licences, and environmental compatibility. Several meetings involving all of the stakeholders have been held to discuss this development proposal with little agreement being found. Furthermore, within the context of the Regional and Municipal land use plans, TRCA staff have been in discussions with Provincial and Regional staff with regard to the appropriateness of this proposed development within the context of growth and settlement guidelines in the Town of Uxbridge and the Region of Durham. The applicant has appealed the applications to the Ontario Municipal Board as a result of the Region's and Town's refusal or neglect to enact amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit the proposed land use. A Prehearing Conference of the Ontario Municipal Board has set for March 8, 1999. No date has been set for the formal hearing. Environmental The property is located on the Oak Ridges Moraine and is traversed by several branches of the Duffins Creek. The drainage area associated with this reach is less than 125 hectares, however the tributaries have well defined valley features with a definable top of bank The site is wooded and contains a portion of the Webb Road Wetland Complex which has been recently evaluated and classified by the Province as Provinically Significant. Because the Wetland has been recognized as Provincially Significant, it meets TRCA criteria for designation as an Environmentally Significant Area (ESA); however, this candidate ESA has not yet been approved by the full Authority. As well, the site is directly adjacent to and is ecologically linked to the North Glasgow Environmentally Significant Area (ESA). As mentioned above, the subject site is located on the Oak Ridges Moraine. With regard to the Oak Ridges Guidelines, June 1991, development outside of settlement areas will only be permitted where a municipality has undertaken a comprehensive municipal analysis of the need for the form of development and assess long term cumulative impacts on municipal servicing costs and the natural environment, including the protection of the integrity of groundwater quality and quantity. 8133 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 March 5. 1999 In the absence of the municipality undertaking this analysis, the proponent has undertaken a'study to deal with the issues associated with new development on the Oak Ridges Moraine. However, it is the opinion of staff at the Province and the Region that this study has not adequately addressed long term impacts to the natural environment nor satisfactorily addresses growth and settlement outside the urban area. The lands are not presently Fill regulated pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158, but have been recognized through the Authority's Fill extension program. There are two proposed road crossings of the tributaries which will require permit approval for the alteration of a watercourse. The current subdivision design does not have appropriate recognition for the protection of the natural resources of this site. Of the 44 lots proposed, staff are of the opinion that 25 of the lots may negatively impact the natural features of the site. The proposed servicing (roads, septics, grading) may also impact the form and functions of the resources. The current subdivision design and land use designations do not adequately recognize or protect the extent of the natural heritage resources. TRCA staff have requested that the stable top of bank be recognized and that the valley corridor and associated wetland boundary be identified as one continuous open space block. The applicant has not yet provided the survey of the top of banks limits of the valley corridor or the wetland boundary. An Environmental Impact Statement has not to date been received by the TRCA and therefore, a formal review of the potential negative impacts to the natural heritage features and their functions has not been completed. RATIONALE Because the Prehearing is scheduled for March 8, 1999, staff advise that it would be appropriate to request Party status and down grade our status later if necessary. The Region is the approval authority on the proposed land use, and to date, Regional staff support the recommendations of the TRCA in that the natural features and their functions have not been adequately addressed for long term protection. This proposed development has not yet been considered by Local or Regional Council and therefore there is no formal Council position. Authority staff will advise the Town of Uxbridge, the Regional Municipality of Durham and the other Parties to th!? Hearing and continue to pursue the resolution of issues with the relevant parties For information contact: Mark Christie, extension 280 Date: February 9, 1999 Attachments (3) , March 5. 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 8134 Attachment 1 - ISILOAM ,1' , ~......- I J' --- ) - 1 :0 ROSEVILLE' ......... , - \ ~9 Silotmf'9 - PO"ri. . , 19 "1~7 ../ :A :;- J' Broc r.. 1J u ...a 4f'"J> lu ~/': : 11 Me QM -" '", ~O -, ,<1' - , '8 - - I ;H ~ : ~ I~ I ~ !

The purchase and installation of an admission attendance tracking, retail point of sale and inventory control system for Slack Creek Pioneer Village. Moved by: Sill Saundercook Seconded by: Donna Patterson THAT the contract for supply and installation of an admission tracking, retail point of sale and inventory control system for Black Creek Pioneer Village be awarded to Multi Post Retail Systems, at a cost not to exceed $40,918 (excluding taxes), it being the proposal that best meets the Authority's specifications. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND For many years, inventory control in the retail areas at Slack Creek Pioneer Village has been done manually and sales were processed by cash registers at the sales desk. While the cash register technology can be quick and efficient, it has very limited functions. Retail consultant reports In 1997 and 1998 highlighted the need to improve the efficiency of the inventory control system by taking advantage of the available technology. New technology and software applications will greatly improve the inventory buying functions, increase staff efficiency, customer service and net revenue, while at the same time decreasing shrinkage and duplication of effort. The existing equipment at the Slack Creek Pioneer Village admissions desk is obsolete and unrepairable at this point. The proposed point of sale system will have the capability of tracking customer/member usage with software to analyse the attendance traffic patterns of the general public. The proposed system is compatible with the Authority's Novell network Six Requests for Proposal were sent to: The R.J.S. Group MultiPost Retail Systems Advanced Computer Systems Amragh Cash Register Ltd. Retail Control Systems Digital Dialogues Four companies responded: The R.J.S. Group (Vigilant Software) MultiPost Retail Systems (Smart Vendor Software) Advanced Computer Systems (A.C.S.) Retail Control Systems The relative ability of each of the four proposals to address the requirements of the Request for Proposal was evaluated using a "Point System". The following table summarizes the scoring. Details can be made available at the Executive Committee Meeting. March 5, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #2/99 8138 System 1 System 2 System 3 System 4 FEES: 6 7 9 7 PC Based Meeting our 7 10 8 7 Objectives Meet our tight 6 8 7 6 Deadline Additional 7 10 6 7 Services in Training & maintenance Ease of Use by Not able to Not able to Not able to Not able to Staff asses properly asses properly asses properly asses properly within time within time within time wIthin time frame frame frame frame 33 43 37 35 50 50 50 50 The Multi Post Retail System best meets the Authority's needs. In particular, Multi Post demonstrated a focused approach to all aspects of retail business and an excellent understanding of training needs. FINANCIAL DETAILS The cost for the new systems ranged from a low of $34,000 to a high of $41 ,000. (Excluding taxes): Multi Post $40,918 Retail Control Systems $40,308 Vigilant Software $39,065 ACS $33,985 The Multi Post system is the highest in cost although three of the bids are within $2000 of each other. While price is a consideration, the ability to meet the Authority's needs is most important The proposal with the lowest bid has not demonstrated the same ability to meet the Authority's needs. 8139 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/99 March 5, 1999 The system would be phased in over 2 years. Expenditures in the first year (1999) would be approximately $20,000 to $25,000 and in the second year $15,000 to complete the purchase of hardware. With the gift shop gross retail sales of $440,000 (including Laskay Emporium) and merchandise for resale expenditures at $225,000 an expected improvement in net revenue of $15,000 to $20,000 dollars would be realized after the first full year of system implementation. Having detailed and timely inventory information available will lead to a reduction ( more sales) in inventory carried and more informed purchasing decisions. Decreasing shrinkage, duplication of effort ,manual calculations and inventory control will improve customer service and sales Funds for this have been included in the 1999 Budget. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The first phase begins in April of 1999 with the admissions desk attendance tracking and point of sale (2 PC units and cash boxes) hardware and software installed. The staff trained and ready for Village opening May 1999. During this phase, the gift shop inventory control hardware and software system is installed. The gift shop staff is trained on the software applications and begin to built the inventory database during the later part of March 1999. At the beginning of April 1999 merchandise will be price tagged with bar-code tickets identifying the merchandise. The second phase will take place during the closed period in the year 2000 (Jan. 1 - Apr. 31,2000). At that time the gift shop point of sale hardware is purchased and connected to the inventory database. The staff is trained on the point of sale units in April of 2000 ready for May opening.

Report on the disposal of surplus Authority lands municipally known as 147 Sylvan Avenue, City of Toronto (formerly City of Scarborough, Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto). Moved by: Ron Moeser Seconded by: Michael Di Siase THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff be directed to return the deposit received from Charles and Diane Shamata who submitted an offer to purchase the surplus Authority owned property, municipally known as 147 Sylvan Avenue, City of Toronto (formerly City of Scarborough, Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto), and advise them that their offer was not accepted; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to continue to negotiate with any parties Interested in the property, until such time as an acceptable proposal is received whereupon it is to be referred to the Members of the Executive Committee for consideration. . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND On June 12, 1990 the Authority acquired 147 Sylvan Avenue together with certain other land from Anil Kadikar. The Authority required the rear portion of the property and the adjacent other lands to carry erosion control and slope stabilization work on the Lake Ontario shoreline along Sylvan Avenue. Mr. Kadikar wanted to sell the entire holdings and would not convey just the rear portions. To avoid the time and expense of expropriation, the entire holdings were acquired. It was proposed that the residence and attached garage, together with a suitable parcel of tableland surrounding building would be re-sold at a future date. Prior to attempting to re-sell the property, staff of the then City of Scarborough and Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto were circulated for comment. Staff of the City of Scarborough and Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto indicated that there was no interest in acquiring the property. However, City staff requested that the Authority retain the bluff face plus a 10 metre strip of table land from the top of bank. The available parcel of land was adjusted at that time to reflect the City's request. The property was listed for sale during the early 1990's in the then declining real estate market with no suitable offers being received. The house was rented on an interim basis until the market improved. It would appear from recent sales in this area, that it may be possible at this time to sell this surplus holding at an acceptable amount. The Authority advertised the property for sale in the Toronto Star on March 6, and March 20, 1999. A number of people requested information packages and inspected the property and the following offer was received which is substantially below the current appraised value: NAME AMOUNT COMMENTS Charles and Diane $262,500.00 Deposit of $13,125.00 in the form of a Shamata certified cheque was received. April 9, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/99 8150 A map showing the location of the subject lands is attached. FINANCIAL DETAILS Staff has reviewed the offer and are recommending that the offer not be accepted as it is well bel~w the appraised value range established by an independent valuation obtained by the Authority. WORK TO BE DONE Continue to market the property through Authority staff and Real Estate Brokers until such time as a suitable offer is at hand.

CARRIED 8153 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/99 April 9, 1999 BACKGROUND The Regional Municipality of York has formally requested a permanent easement for the Rutherford Road Trunk Watermain between Clarence Street and Weston Road in the City of Vaughan. Concurrent to this request, an application pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 for the constructi9n of these proposed works has also been submitted by the Woodbridge Expansion Area Group in order to tunnel under the East Humber River. The lands subject to the permanent easement are situated within the Regulatory Storm Flood Plain of the East Humber River on the Authority's Boyd North land holdings. In addition to the permanent easement rights being granted, the Regional Municipality of York will be utilizing certain additional Authority-owned lands in this area for temporary construction purposes. These works will impact the existing septic bed locations associated with an Authority residential property and the Authority's Nursery Operation, and as a result will affect the continued viability of both uses. Discussions with the Regional Municipality of York regarding this issue are ongoing, however they have not lead to a resolution of this matter. As such, staff are recommending these easements and/or permission to enter upon Authority lands to carry out these works be conditional upon a satisfactory resolution to this issue prior to the commencement of any construction. A plan illustrating both the permanent and temporary easement locations is attached. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The Regional Municipality of York has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing this transaction.

At that meeting, the Authority adopted the following resolutions related to Climate Change. , 8167 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/99 Aprile. 1999 RES.#A56/99 - GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE Implications on watershed management related to potential hydrologic changes brought on by Global Climate Change. (Watershed Management Res.#D9/99) Moved by: Joan King Seconded by: Ron Moeser THA T the staff report on the implications of Climate Change on watershed management programs of the Authority be received; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to encourage the inclusion of adaptive techniques in our watershed planning initiatives where feasible. AMENDMENT ES.#A57/99 Moved by: Ron Moeser Seconded by: Denzil Minnan-Wong THAT staff examine the possibility of coordinating a 1-day symposium in September of 1999 on Global Warming and developing a Committee, to bring public awareness to the issue; AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought to the next Executive Committee meeting on the structure and initiatives of the proposed Committee. THE AMENDMENT WAS .............................................. CARRIED THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS ................................ CARRIED Staff of the Authority following the direction set forth in the above resolution have discussed the issue with staff from Environment Canada in their Atmospheric Science Division and the Environmental Adaptations Research Group. Following several discussions, a meeting was held with appropriate staff from Environment Canada to discuss the issue and determine the actions currently underway within their organizations. The meeting was held to discuss their current initiatives related to climate change and to discuss the applicability of holding a symposium / workshop dealing with the issues of climate change and watershed management. While Environment Canada has many initiatives ongoing related to research and the delivery of the message on climate change, they welcomed the Authority's proposal and expressed a great deal of interest in assisting in,the preparation anct-delivery of the climate change message through the Authority. There is a recognition by Environment Canada that it is through agencies such as the Authority that the implementation of programs and strategies to the local level will occur. It will be through these means that mitigative and adaptive procedures dealing with climate change will be delivered to the general public. April 9. 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/99 8168 At the meeting held with Environment Canada, the issues related to watershed management which may be impacted by climate change were discussed at length. It was apparent that most of our programs will be impacted. As such, we may require either adaptive methodologies or mitigative initiatives to be incorporated into our watershed management strategies. Staff have also contac~ed representatives of the Toronto Atmospheric Fund as well as Toronto, York, Peel and Durham Works Departments and the Ministry of Environment to confirm that this symposium will not duplicate other initiatives. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE With virtually all of our programs being impacted through climate change, the need to focus the workshop was discussed. The working group developed to deal with the planning of the fall workshop will need to deal with focusing the Authority's and our partners message to the selected audience for this symposium. FINANCIAL DETAILS At this time, no discussions have related to costs of the symposium. Their may be an opportunity to share the costs associated with the fall workshop / symposium with Environment Canada and these discussions will take place.

Letter of Undertaking from Mr. Jack Pong, President, City Core Management Inc. (Re: Planting Plan for Buffer Area) dated February 26, 1999; received March 1, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of constructing a 8,114 square foot retail plaza on a property located at the southwest corner of Birchmount Road and Ellesmere Road. The previous use of the property was for a gas station; the site has been decommissioned. The entire property is located within the Regional Storm flood plain of the Highland Creek; however, this reach of the Highland Creek has been identified through the City of Toronto as a candidate Special Policy Area (SPA). The property is not presently fill regulated; however, fill lines are proposed to encompass the area in accordance with the Authority's on-going Fill Regulation Extension Program. Control of Flooding: All existing grades will be maintained as part of the proposed development. The proposed building will be flood proofed to above the Regional Storm flood elevation. The depth of flooding under Regional Storm conditions is approximately 0.5 metres above grade, with an associated velocity of flow of 0.07 metres per second. Pollution: A combination of silt fencing and catchbasin sediment traps will impede the overland migration of construction-generated sediments. Site drainage will tie into the municipal storm sewer system, utilizing the connections presently on-site. Conservation of Land: All disturbed area will be stabilized/revegetated following construction; no significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works. A 4.0 metre vegetated buffer area will be maintained between the new parking area and the top of bank of the Highland Creek concrete channel located adjacent to the subject property. The presently grassed buffer area will be planted with native trees and shrubs and will be allowed to re-naturalize. April 9, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/99 8174 Policy Guidelines: Authority staff have had discussions with City of Toronto staff regarding the designation of this area as an SPA. As part of the new City of Toronto Official Plan now being developed, natural hazards such as flooding will be addressed and incorporated into a consistent set of policies for all appropriate areas of the City, including existing and proposed SPAs. City staff has requested the Authority's assistance and cooperation in developing the overarching SPA policies, related processes, maps, etc. These SPA policies are intended to be similar to previously approved SPA's elsewhere in the City (eg. Lower Don, Hogg's Hollow, and some communities along the Black Creek in the former Cities of York and North York). The 1620 Birchmount Road development would be in keeping with existing SPA Policies applied elsewhere. It is staffs opinion that the commitment from the City of Toronto to proceed expeditiously with approvals for SPAs throughout the City, which includes the 1620 Birchmount Road site, will meet with the intent of Section 4.2.1 - Development and Redevelopment/Intensification within Established CommunitieslHighly Urbanized Areas - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program regarding this proposal.

Woodbine Avenue Culvert, Culvert Rehabilitation; prepared by Mitchell, Pound and Braddock; project # 98076; drawings # P1, P2, 01; received March 24. 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: ProDosal: An existing 50 m culvert under Woodbine Avenue north of Bethesda Sideroad is collapsing and the Region of York is proposing to line it, using a jack and bore technique, with a corrugated steel pipe. The culvert conveys a permanently flowing cold water stream that drains greater than 125 ha All the works will take place within the road right of way; however the area adjacent to the site is an Environmentally Significant Area (ESA 92). Control of Flooding: Currently most of the Regional Storm flood flows overtop Woodbine Avenue. Only a small proportion of flood flow travels through the culvert. Although the culvert diameter will be reduced from 1.2 m to 1.05 m the extent of flooding under Regional Storm conditions will not be affected. Pollution: In order to prevent any construction generated sediments from entering the watercourse, sediment fencing will be installed between the work site and the watercourse. Flows will be dammed and pumped around. Conservation of Land: All of the work will be done within the road right of way where' there is currently little woody vegetation. There will be no impact on the ESA. The construction area will be defined with fencing to protect adjacent trees. The disturbed area and the riparian area will be restored and enhanced with native woody vegetation. The watercourse provides cold water fish habitat. The new culvert will allow for fish passage. A pool will be constructed up stream and down stream of the culvert to ensure that there are adequate water depths in the culvert. Riparian vegetation will be planted to improve the fish habitat. The construction will be undertaken after June 1 and prior to September 15 to protect spawning fish and fish fry. Staff are satisfied that the proposed design and construction details will provide the mitigation and compensation required for an Authorization for a Harmful Alteration, Destruction, or Disruption of fish habitat from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans pursuant to the Federal Fisheries Act. The permit will be held in abeyance until the authorization is issued. , April 9, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/99 8188 Policy Guidelines: The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing.

Drawing prepared by Pickering Hydro entitled Little Men Film Site - Claremont date"d March 30, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The 'Little Men' series is currently in the process of re-negotiating their license agreement with the Authority for lands at the Claremont Field Center. Part of our ongoing discussions have centered around the possibility of extending both hydro and bell services to the site, enabling the producers of the series to create a site office with phone and fax capabilities, as well as hydro service. The services are proposed to be brought in from Sideline 12 on elevated poles, and buried underground in close proximity of the filming location. The line will follow an existing internal access road, and will entail crossing of the Michell Creek along an elevated roadside embankment. Approximately six poles will be located within the fill regulated portion of the property, with one pole being situated within the Regulatory Storm Flood Plain. Pickering Hydro has been retained to carry out the installation of the above-ground services. While these works are temporary in nature, they are being constructed to industry standards such that the Authority can opt to maintain these services once the license agreement with Uttle Men has ended. These service improvements are estimated to cost approximately $100,000. with all costs being borne by the Little Men production company. 8189 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/99 April 9, 1999 Control of Floodina: One of the proposed pole locations is within the Regulatory Storm Flood Plain, however the impacts on flooding will be negligible. Pollution: No sedimentation is expected as part of the proposed works. Conservation of Land: The proposed works will not impact on any significant resource features. Field Area staff have reviewed the proposed location of these services in the field, and with the exception of removing a dead tree for line clearance no further removal of vegetation is proposed within the regulated area Policv Guidelines: The proposed works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley & Stream Corridor Management Program, Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing.

The purpose is to alter a waterway by replacing and increasing the length of an existing driveway culvert within a tributary of the Centennial Creek. The permit will be issued for the period of April 9, 1999 to April 8, 2001. . Lot Drainage and Siting Plan prepared by Agincourt Design Service, Project 98- 3731, Revision 1 dated April 5, 1999; received April 6, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: . , 8191 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/99 April 9, 1999 Prooosal: The proposal consists of replacing and increasing the length of an existing entrance driveway culvert on the subject property. The proposed works are related to the residential development of this property, which was severed into two (2) lots in 1989. The existing house will be demolished and two new single family dwellings will be constructed on each lot. The new culvert will be a corrugated steel pipe measuring 0.6 metres in diameter and will be 15 metres in length; the existing culvert is approximately half the proposed length. The driveways are designed to be shared by the two properties, with the culvert running continuously beneath the roadways (Le. there will be no open gap in the middle of the driveway). The subject lands are not presently fill regulated; however, fill lines are proposed to encompass the stream corridor, as part of the Authority's ongoing Fill Regulation Extension Program. Control of Flooding: The new culvert will match the diameter of existing driveway culverts on neighbouring properties. The proposed works will not impact the control of flooding through this reach of the watercourse. Pollution: The proposed culvert will be installed under dry conditions within the watercourse; however, staff has requested that the proposal include a provision to install a coffer dam on the upstream side of the driveway, and that flows be pumped around the site should wet conditions occur during construction. In addition, silt fencing will encircle the watercourse after installation of the culvert for the shared driveway to impede the overland migration of sediments from the house construction and associated filling/grading. Conservation of Land: This tributary of the Centennial Creek forms a stream corridor along the front yards of the existing community. Although the approved Centennial Creek Subwatershed Study recommends a 30 metre riparian setback from the watercourse, the proposed residential dwellings can only be setback 15 metres from the channel due to zoning setback limitations from the rear lot lines. City staff has concurred with this design, which is reflective of existing building setbacks along this reach of the stream corridor, and also indicated that, since the two parcels of land had been created prior to the approval of the Centennial Creek Subwatershed Study, further requirements such as an Environmental Impact Statement will not be requested in support of development of this site. In regards to the culvert, Authority staff has requested that the watercourse be left open as much as possible as part of the proposed works. At Executive Committee Meeting #16/89, Permit No. C- 90020 was approved to enclose the entire watercourse through this property, based on an application submitted by the previous owner of the subject lands. The new owner of the property has agreed to leave 15 metres of the watercourse channel open; this is acceptable to Authority and City staff. Restoration of the stream corridor will eventually take place, as recommended by the Centennial Creek Subwatershed Study. This reach of the Centennial Creek does not provide insitu fish habitat; any downstream impacts to aquatic habitat will be mitigated by the proposed methods of sediment control during construction. Therefore, Authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans will not be required pursuant to the federal Fisheries Act. April 9, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/99 8192 Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 3.3 - Policies and Procedures for Identifying Watercourses and Alterations - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The proposed pool is located on a lot in a plan of subdivision adjacent to the valley of the Humber River south of Rutherford Road. The rear yard of the lot is within the fill regulated area Control of Flooding: The works are not occurring within the Regional Storm Flood plain. , April 9, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/99 8194 Pollution: A sediment fence will be installed along the rear property line to inhibit the migration of sediment into the valley. Conservation of Land: A geotechnical report was completed as part of the subdivision process and outlined recommendations for development adjacent to this valley. A recommendation for locating pools at the rear of the property was to establish a 3H: 1 V slope line from the toe of slope and then setback the pool an additional 6 metres. The rear lot line was established using a 3H:1V slope from the toe of slope. The proposed pool will be located approximately 10 metres (30 ft) from the rear lot line. In addition, the pool will not drain into the valley and it will be designed and maintained to ensure the pool remains leak proof. All excavated fill will be removed from the site. Policy Guidelines: The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, Section 4.2.2 E) - Property Improvements & Ancillary Structures.

The purpose is to construct an access road, sanitary pumping station and bridge for a 36 unit townhouse development. The permit will be issued for the period of April 9, 1999 to April 8, 2004. . Letter of Undertaking from Kirsten B. Hodgson, P .Eng., Of Cosburn Patterson Mather Ltd. (Re: Restoration Planting Plan and Erosion Protection for Bridge/Roadway) dated April 6, 1999; received April 7, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 8195 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/99 April 9. 1999 Proposal: To facilitate the construction of a 36 unit townhouse development the applicant is proposing to construct an access road and bridge over Berczy Creek, directionally drill under the watercourse to provide water and sanitary services, and construct a sanitary sewer pumping station. The site o.f these works is located in the flood plain and fill regulated area for Berczy Creek. The proposed townhouse development is to be located on the tableland outside of the valley corridor. There is a 10 metre buffer between the top of the valley slope and the lot limit. The Town of Markham are supportive of this proposed townhouse development and the road crossing location. Control of Flooding: The access to the townhouse site is aligned down the south side of the valley corridor along an existing driveway. The new alignment then turns north from the old driveway alignment when it reaches the valley floor and crosses the river on a proposed bridge. The new driveway continues across the valley to the tableland on the north side. Fill, from 2 m to 3.5 m deep to form the bed of the new driveway, is required to provide an appropriate crossing height for the bridge and moderate grades to the tableland. A hydraulic analysis was undertaken which demonstrates only small changes in the flood limits and elevations at the crossing site. The increases are contained within the valley corridor and do not extend off the owner's property. A maximum of 0.46 meters of flow under velocities of 1.86 m/s will over top the bridge. This crossing, which is the primary access to the site, could be crossed by emergency vehicles under Regional Storm conditions and in this regard meets the minimum criteria outlined in the Provincial Flood Plain Planning Policy Statement Guidelines for safe access. Flood-free pedestrian access is available to the north. A 2 metre by 2 metre sanitary sewer pumping building is to be located at the entrance to the development site on the north side of the valley. Although the site is not currently flood vulnerable, it will be located in the flood fringe after the construction of the road. The building will be constructed on fill used to support the road bed and will be subject to approximately 0.2 meters of flooding. The finished floor elevation of the building will be above the flood plain elevation and in this regard the structure will be flood proofed. The water and sanitary service are proposed to be installed by directional drilling, starting near Warden Avenue outside of the valley corridor and emerging in a trench within the road alignment north of and across the watercourse. These works will not impact flood elevations or velocities. Pollution: There will be no direct interference with the watercourse. Sediment fencing is to be installed around the development site, along the road -alignment, and between the bridge abutments and the watercourse. This should prevent construction generated sediment from entering the watercourse. Apnl 9, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/99 8196 Conservation of Land: The existing valley floor at the site of the proposed road crossing is heavily vegetated with trees, predominantly White Cedars. The alignment was chosen and the road designed to avoid as many of the trees as possible. An edge management planting plan is required to reinforce the open edge created by the road cut. In addition there will be additional restoration planting throughout the valley corridor to enhance the forest habitat. The bridge opening is 16 meters wide. Staff are satisfied that this opening is sufficient to allow for passage of wildlife and pedestrians along the valley corridor. As the works are not in the watercourse there will be no impact on fish habitat. Policy Guidelines: The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to Section 4.3 -Infrastructure and Servicing.

The permit will be issued for the period of April 9, 1999 to April 8, 2004. . Letter of Undertaking from Mr. Antonio Tallarico of 1231257 Ontario Ltd., Owner of Ceapet Management Ltd. (Re: Acknowledgment that permit under O. Reg. 158 cannot be released until all outstanding requirements have been addressed to the satisfaction of TRCA staff) dated April 6, 1999; received April 7, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant is proposing to connect a storm sewer to an existing pipe which conveys an intermittent cold water tributary of the Don River. In association with this connection the applicant will be providing erosion protection at the outlet of the existing pipe which conveys the watercourse. Control of Flooding: The works are not in the flood plain. The Town has reviewed the project and is satisfied that the pipe will be able to convey the additional flows. Pollution: In order to control the transport of sediments, the works will be done in the dry, either by waiting for an opportunity to work when the watercourse is not running, or by damming and pumping around the work site. Conservation of Land: The tributary watercourse downstream of the existing piped section provides cold water and refugia to an important cold water fish habitat in the East Don River. If the watercourse is flowing, the applicant will be undertaking the connection and erosion protection work within the appropriate fisheries window to mitigate possible impacts to spawning fish, eggs or young fish downstream. Authorization is not required from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Because of a drop in the stream invert at the outlet of the existing pipe, the movement of fish upstream is impeded. Authority staff are working with the applicant to determine if fish passage' can be re-established through this reach by modifying the design of the erosion protection. Policy Guidelines: The works are in compliance with the Authorities Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing.

Staff report on the status of the public process concerning the potential disposal of a residential lot at 91 Riverside Drive in the vicinity of Islington Avenue and Finch Avenue in the City of Toronto (formerly City of North York). Members of the public have been invited to attend before the Executive Committee to make submissions or comments. Moved by: John Adams Seconded by: Jim McMaster lHA T the staff report dated March 25, 1999 regarding potential disposal of a residential lot at 91 Riverside Drive in the vicinity of Islington Avenue and Finch Avenue in the City of Toronto (formerly City of North York), be received; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to review all public submissions and comments received and provide a further report to the members of the Executive Committee with a suggested course of action for the potential disposition of the subject lot ...... CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #5/95, held July 14,1995, Resolution #E87/95 was adopted: THA T the potential disposal of an Authority-owned residential lot on the south side of Riverside Drive, .City of North York be referred to the Authority staff for review in accordance with established Authority policies; AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action. The parcel being reviewed is more particularly described as Part of Lot 46, Registered Plan 2388, City of Toronto (formerly City of North York, Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto). The subject lot has a frontage of 50 feet, a depth of approximately 174 feet, and contains 0.188 acres, more or less. , 8203 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/99 April 9, 1999 0 In accordance with Authority policy the following action has been taken to date: . a sign was installed on the subject lands on March 17, 1999 inviting public comment; . notices of the Public Information Session were sent to the City of Toronto, Parks and Recreation Department, Councillor George Mammoliti, Councilor Judy Sgro and all residential houses within 400 feet of the property; . notice of the Public Information Session and requests for public comment were placed in the Toronto Star on March 19, 1999 and the North York Mirror; . a Public Information Session was held on March 24, 1999, at the Black Creek Pioneer Village, Visitors Centre, Victoria Room during the hours of 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.; . members of the public have been invited to attend the Executive Committee to make submissions or comments. The attached public information package was distributed at the Public Information Session. Also attached are comments received on the proposed disposal. It is proposed that the disposal of the land be at market value. RATIONALE In the 1970's the Authority's intent, in partnership with the then Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario, was to acquire the residential properties on the south side of Riverside Drive to extend the Park and open space conservation land eastward. In recent years, the Authority has undertaken a review of acquisition limits at a number of locations as a result of significant funding reductions for land acquisition. At this location, a number of factors have been considered when reviewing the Authority's acquisition limits. These factors are: (1 ) The high costs associated with purchasing the remaining houses relative to the small amount of parkland that will be generated; (2) Funding for land acquisition is limited and must be focused on higher priority properties such as flood and erosion susceptible properties, valley land linkages, and environmentally significant lands. Based on these factors it is no longer considered viable to extend the park and open space conservation land easterly. Because the Authority has determined that it will no longer pursue the acquisition of the remaining privately owned properties on Riverside Drive, the Authority must rationalize the ownership of 91 Riverside Drive. This property is isolated from the other Authority holdings by three houses on the west and Riverside Drive on the north. It is located within a well established residential community and has residential housing on three sides. The property is not located within the flood plain or active erosion zone. April 9, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/99 8204 The Authority has reviewed this property with staff of the City of Toronto. The City staff has agreed to the disposal. Based on this analysis there would appear to be no benefit to the Authority retaining ownership of this property. Prior to declaring the property as surplus to the Authority's requirements, it' is important for the Authority to obtain comments from the public as there may be factors that have been overlooked in formulating this conclusion. Staff feel it is essential that in the management of the Authority's resources that every effort possible is made to assist in reducing the funding requirements from the taxpayers, and accordingly, the disposal, if suitable arrangements can be made, is in the best interests of the Authority and the public.

The TFiCA has baen acquiring property in this reach of the Humber River since the late 1950's. The subject property was acqUired by TRCA in 1970 and contained a 1-stcrey frame dwelling and a frame storage shed which were demolished by iRCA. SITE OESC~IP'TlON Part of Lot 46, Registered Plan 2388, City of Toromo (formerly City of North York, MUniCipality of Metropolitan Toronto). The subject lot has a frontage of 50 feet, a depth of approXlmately 174 feet, and contams 0.188 acres, more or less. The subject lot is iIIustra!ed on the attached sketch. RATIONAL: FOR CONSIOE::lING OISPOSAL In the 1970's the TFiCA's intent, in partnership with the then Metropolitan Toronto and the Province at Ontario, was to acquire the residential properties on the south side cf RIVerside Dnve to extend the Park and open spacg conservation land eastward. In recent years, TFiCA has undertaken a review of acquisitlcn limits at a number at locations as a result of signiflc:3Iit -:Unding reductiens mr land acquisition.

The property is not located within the flood plain or actIVe erosion zone. TRCA has also reviewed this property wrttl the Clty of Toronto and the City has indicated that It has no obJection to the disposal. Based on this lalysis there would appear to be no benatit to the TRCA retaining ownership of thIS property. Pn~ o declanng the property as surplus to tl1e TACA's requirements, it IS Important for TRCA to obtain comments from the public as there may be factcrs that have been overlooked in formulating thIS conclusion.

UTlUZATION OF pqOCE::::::lS The TACA is very c::nsc:ous of its reliance on funcing from the taxpayers of our re~ion ~rou~h Munic:paJ and Provincial Governments. The TACA uses its surplus assets such as lands not required fcr TRCA purposes, to assist in reduc:ng funding reqUIrements from the taxpayers. The TRCA is propcsing to use the funes generated frcm the disposal of these lands to assist In funding hl~n prionty TRCA activrties including the acqulsrtion of remaming strategic Greenspace land acquisitions.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The subject property is located on the west side of Islington Avenue south of Legion Road in the City of Vaughan (Woodbridge). The municipal address is 7642 Islington Avenue. The property is located entirely within the fill regulated area and floodplain of the Humber River (see attached figure 1), on the Humber River valley floor. The Humber River has a well defined valley corridor in this area. The property is currently occupied by two residences and a detached garage, The property is located south of the Woodbridge community and outside the boundary of the Woodbridge special policy area (City of Vaughan Official Plan Amendment 440). A commercial area between Islington Avenue and Legion Road, south of Highway 7, is located north of the subject property. The channel of the Humber River winds west and south of the property. Lands to the west and south of the property are currently open space and zoned PB 1 (Parkway Belt) in the City of Vaughan by-law 1-88. BACKGROUND This application was submitted on March 5, 1998 as a result of a violation issued to the owner on January 15, 1998. At that time, Authority enforcement staff had noted fill being placed and graded on the subject property, Upon discussing the violation, the applicant's solicitor indicated that an application pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 would be filed in an attempt to resolve the violation. Upon review of the application, staff advised that the placement of fill west of the house in order to raise the grade could not be supported. - Staff laid charges agaiRst-Mr-:-Kosevao-under..seotion.a-.(br'Of~Atari0 Regulation +58 (May 14, 1998). , " 8218 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14,1999 Mr. Kosovac's Trial occurred on December 29, 1998. Staff had requested a fine and removal'order for the fill placed based in its impact on the control of flooding. Mr. Kosovac's solicitor had indicated that he did not have his opportunity for a hearing in order to resolve the permit. The decision of the court was to convict Mr. Kosovac of the fill violation, however the sentencing was held over for six months in order to allow for the hearing to occur. Sentencing is scheduled for June 23, 1999. The date of the hearing has also been held over twice at the request of the applicant's solicitor, Mr. Charles Wrock. The Authority solicitor advises that it is necessary to have the hearing prior to sentencing in June. PROPOSAL The applicant has placed approximately 2080 cubic metres of fill in the area of the property west of the house, including a small amount of topsoil in the immediate vicinity of the house. This is the equivalent of approximately 200 truckloads. A Site plan and cross sections (figures 1-3) are included with this report. The fill is proposed to fill in a swale feature to the west of the house and to fill in several small depressions in the front yard east of the house. A letter provided by the applicant describing the subject application is shown as figure 4 attached. The site plan submitted with the application is included as figure 5, Photos provided with the original application will be provided at the meeting. Cross-section information was not provided with the original application. Staff have requested further details with regard to the proposal, including original and proposed final grades, geodetic elevations and his estimate of the total volume of material placed (requested in correspondence dated January 25,1999), These details have not been provided. The area of the proposed fill placement is located within the 2 year storm flood plain (elevation 137.6 metres C.G.D.). The Regional Storm elevation is approximately 141.6 metres C.G.D. Regional Storm flood depths on the property range between 2.6 metres in the vicinity of the house to 4,6 metres in the swale area west of the house, Floodwater velocities on the site range from 0.35 metres per second ( 50 year right overbank) to 2.0 metres per second (Regional channel velocity). The gully that has been filled is approximately 100 metres long by 5 metres in width; 2-3 metres deep. A review by technical staff confirms that the entire property is located within the hydraulic floodway of the Humber River, due to the high depths and velocities of flooding, In addition, the area is also subjec~ to ice jam flooding, POLICY AND RATIONALE The subject works would be considered as a property improvement on an existing lot within the corridor. The approved Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program contains the following policies'. SECTION 4.2:2 - Development/Redevelopment - Non Established Communities E) Property ~ m proveme Rts-8.Rd-Ancillarv-Stn:JoR:lres It is recognized that where development exists within valley and stream corridors, provisions for property improvements and ancillary structures need to be addressed; however, it must be recognized that property improvements and ancillary structures can negatively impact valley and stream corridor landforms, features and functions. , May 14,1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 8219 To this end, property improvements and ancillary structures associated with typical lot appurtenances such as fencing, decks, stairs and minor alterations to grade/landscaping may be permitted subject to an in compliance with the following: 1) If located within the Regulatory Flood Plain the location and design must: I) not result in unacceptable impacts to flood storage and conveyance; ii) not create or aggravate flooding on adjacent, upstream or downstream properties; iii) minimize property damage associated with flooding to the extent technically possible and the liability to assumed by the owner. NOTE: Notwithstanding the above, ancillary structures will be restricted from locating with the hydraulic f100dway or will be subject to more rigorous design requirements. The intent of the above policy is to allow for minor improvements to property which would not have a detrimental effect on flooding. In this instance, the small amount of fill that was placed in the front yard of the property would be an example of a minor improvement that would be permitted by this policy, However, the extent of filling within the rear yard, particularly within the swale, is not considered a minor improvement. The extent of fill, estimated to be equivalent to 200 truckloads, will have an impact on flood storage and conveyance. This area has previously experienced flood damage with the evacuation of the Legion building due to ice jams first in 1984 and as recently as 1997. In 1984, the extent of ice jam flooding also extended on to Islington Avenue and to an auto dealership on Islington Avenue where some damage to vehicles occurred. The policies within the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program would also allow filling within a stream corridor where it can be demonstrated that the area acts as a spill zone as a result of a constraint within the floodplain, such as a culvert or bridge, Filling may also be considered within an unusually wide shallow floodplain. This area is not considered as a spill zone or wide shallow floodplain. Rather this site is within the active storage area of the floodplain where depths of 2.6 to 4.6 metres and velocities of 0,35 m/sec to 2,0 m/sec would be experienced during a Regional Storm. An area of active storage is generally defined as an area that provides both conveyance and storage of floodwaters as they flow through the reach. While the impact of the filling is not directly measurable on site due to the level of sensitivity of the hydraulic model,' tRe-cumulatw.e 4m pact of4his-type -of 'filling.within- the' floodway will have a Significant impact. Approval of this application would establish an undesirable precedent which would limit the ability of the Authority to control fill placement Within hazardous areas, resulting in a significant impact on flood storage and conveyance, 8220 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14, 1999 SUMMARY Staff recommend that the application be refused due to the cumulative impact of allowing fill within the hydraulic floodway portion of the floodplain. Filling in active flow areas such as this will result in a significant increase in flood risk throughout the watershed.

There were a lot of work to be done in the house, and around the house. One of the major work to be done was on t~9 land. There were to many holes in the ground,and first of all for safety reasons and after that for practical reason I had that ground covered with top soil. If you walk around you could step in a hole and got yourself hurt. Then if I wanted to cut the grass, it was very difflcult and unsafe to use lawn mower. That was the reason why I decided to fill up those holes. The other thlng was that ditch, which I filled up with soil. I dldn't know that I needed any permision for that work, but since there i~ still more work to be done, I am asking for permit now. . . Please f1nd enclosed 12 photos taken of the property, certificate of soil analysis and three maps showing the phases of work: what was done, how is now, and how is going to look when is flnished. If there 1S any more information that you need, please advise. Sincerely, ~~ , 8224 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14,1999 ^TTT\Cllfo1rtIT 0; ) ( 1-- - ,- , , - j \ ~ : t" \J () ,; i -':J \ \ I '--'!

CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A131/95, adopted at Authority Meeting #4/95, held on May 26,1995, approved the Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project. At Meeting #3/97, the Authority adopted Resolution #A5S/97 directing staff to acquire certain valley corridor lands of the West Duffins Creek from the Ontario Realty Corporation as they became available through their disposal process, within the Duffins-Rouge Agriculture Assembly, Approximately 12 hectares (29 acres) of the subject lands are within the Duffins-Rouge Agriculture Assembly lands (west of the West Duffins Creek), and the balance of the lands are within the Provincial holdings referred to as the Seaton Lands east of the West Duffins Creek. Negotiations have been conducted with officials from the Ontario Realty Corporation, The Province is in the process of selling the existing Whitevale Golf Course to the Whitevale Golf Club. The Province expropriated the golf course from the Whitevale Golf Club in 1974. The Club has been leasing back the 176-acre property since it was expropriated and recently entered into an agreement with the Province to purchase the golf course, A portion of the golf course is located in the West Duffins valley corridor and portions of the 176-acre property are part of the Whitevale ESA. The Province has agreed to convey the valley lands and ESA portions of the property to the TRCA with a lease in place that would permit the Whitevale Golf Club to continue to operate the course. The arrangement at hand provides for the continuance of the existing golf course holes situate in the valley while giving the TRCA, with ownership, the necessary control to prevent further intrusion into the valley as well as input into the management practices being used by the Club. In addition, the lease provides the Club with opportunity for passive recreational use (i.e. cross-country skiing and hiking) on some of the lands the TRCA is acquiring from the Province, The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed the proposal and is in concurrence with the purchase of the property. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject property falls within the Authority's approved master plan for acquisition in the Duffins May 14,1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 8227 Creek Watershed and will provide long-term protection to the associated flood plain and valley corridor functions. It also contains portions of the Whitevale Corridor ESA, A section of the Seaton hiking trail is located within the subject property. Acquisition of the subject property will ensure the long-term use and enjoyment of the trail by the public. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE It is estimated that taxes would be $50.00 per acre for the 20.45 acres not covered by the lease, The Authority maintains lands in this vicinity. It is expected that the maintenance costs will increase although not significantly because these types of lands require a low degree of maintenance. Under the terms of the lease, the tenant is responsible for taxes and maintenance, FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for this acquisition will be charged to Account 004-12-502.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #1/94 held on February 25, 1994, the members of the Authority adopt~d Resolution #A 14/94: "THA T two parcels of Authority owned tableland in the City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel, be declared as surplus to the requirements of the Authority. These parcels are more particularly described as: (1) south side of Highway #7 on the east side of Goreway Drive being Part of Lot 5, Concession 8, Northern Division containing 12 acres, more or less; (2) west side of the Eighth Line, north of Stee/es Avenue being Part of Lot 2, Concession 8, Northern Division containing 56 acres, more or less. THA T along with all existing municipal and provincial controls on the future utilization of these parcels, the following Authority requirements be conditions of sale: (a) the Authority is to have the right to review and approve all development plans to ensure the following: (I) the proposed use is not contrary to Authority objectives and does not negatively impact the Authority's Claireville holdings; 8234 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14,1999 (ii) the protection of visual site lines from the valley bottom; i.e., limiting building height and requiring greater setbacks from the property line. (b) the purchaser be required to prepare a community reach plan if the future development will impact the valley and stream corridor; i.e., storm water outfall into valley; (c) the purchaser construc~ in accordance with the Authority's standards, a fence along the new property boundary at the purchaser's expense; (d) The purchaser is to establish a vegetated buffer satisfactory to the Authority on the lands to be retained by the Authority; (e) An archaeological investigation is to be conducted prior to any site disturbance; (f) The purchaser will be required to use storm water best management practices and it is the Authority's preference to have storm water control and/or treatment provided on the surplus parcels. AND FURTHER THAT the availability of the subject lands be advertised publicly for sale at market value." The parcel of land identified as #1 above and located on the south east corner of Highway #7 and Goreway Drive was approved for sale by the Authority and sold to Metrus Properties Limited ot'l February 22, 1996. At Meeting #7/96 the Members of the Authority directed staff to develop a Management Plan for the Claireville Conservation Area The surplus parcel of land located on the west side of the Eighth Line, north of Steeles Avenue was re-evaluated as part of the Claireville Conservation Area Management Plan, which was approved by the Members of the Authority at meeting #2/97, April 4, 1997. The Management Plan recommended the sale of a parcel of land on the west side of the 8th Line, north of Steeles Avenue and reduced the size of the parcel to just over 32 acres. On March 27, 1998, the Authority entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale with Mr. Roland Vander Straeten, In Trust for this site, This agreement included a number of conditions in the Purchaser's favour. The Purchaser was unable to fulfill all the conditions in his favour within the time limits specified in the Agreement and therefore the Agreement of Purchase and Sale became null and void. Since that time, staff has extensively marketed the property, Advertisements have been placed in the Toronto Star on two separate occasions, a sign has been placed on the property and information packages have been distributed. A plan illustrating this location is attached. May 14,1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 8235 ANALYSIS Amendment No. 166 of Brampton's Official Plan, dated June 8, 1990, designated the subject lands "Prestige Industrial", The uses permitted on lands designated as "prestige industrial" are as follows: (I) Manufacturing, processing, assembling, packaging, repairing, fabricating, warehousing, and storage within wholly enclosed buildings; (ii) Intermediate office; (iii) Public and utility uses or structures; (iv) Research and development facilities; (v) Recreation facilities or structures; (vi) Accessory retail uses which are directly associated with a permitted industrial operation and occupy a small area in terms of floor space or site coverage relative to the size of the associated industrial plant; and, (vii) Day nurseries, The permitted uses within the "prestige industrial" designation shall be established on landscaped lots in a park-like setting. A high standard of conceptual building design shall be required, and undeveloped portions of lots shall be landscaped to achieve the intended prestige image. In this regard, no outside storage shall be permitted, Accordingly staff is satisfied all uses under the "prestige industrial" designation are compatible with the Authority's Claireville holdings. The Authority's conditions for the disposal as described above have been satisfactory addressed. An archaeological investigation was carried out in 1998 as part of the original transaction and no further work is required. This agreement is only subject to one condition in favour of the Purchaser relating to soil testing which has now been waived by the Purchaser. A small tributary of the Mimico Creek crosses the south west corner of the parcel. A study is in the process of being undertaken to determine the exact limit of the stream corridor. The Agreement of Purchase and Sale has been structured so that when the exact configuration of the corridor is determined the corridor lands will be reconveyed to the Authority. Based on a preliminary review by staff, the maximum size of the corridor would be approximately two acres, If the Authority retains the two acre parcel the sale price will be $1,975,090. If the entire 32.386 acres is sold the sale price will be $2,105,090, The sale price is within the market value range as determined by an independent appraiser. , 8236 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14, 1999 FINANCIAL DETAILS It is proposed that the proceeds from this sale be utilized to purchase other high priority properties within approved Authority projects.

The tenders received we're referred to staff for review and report. Moved by: Bill Saundercook Seconded by: Ron Moeser THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Watershed Management Division utilize, as required, the services of Sartor and Susin Limited for the supply of operated heavy construction equipment and dump trucks during 1999, they being the most satisfactory and lowest overall quotation received: AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized to use the attached list to select additional equipment based on the next lowest tender if the need arises. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND This tender was publicly advertised in the Daily Commercial News and provided for the supply of rental rates for operated heavy construction equipment and dump trucks to be utilized by the Watershed Management Division in carrying out the 1999 work programs, The tender selection process included a review of the prices submitted and an assessment of previous performance in a number of areas; including but not limited to, similar work experience, workmanship and Health and Safety, A total of 5 tenders were received and reviewed by staff, Upon review of the tenders submitted, it was found that a number of submissions were wrongly classified by the bidders and have therefore been adjusted into the proper class, The equipment class for a particular make and model was checked against the Ontario Provincial Standard Specification, as well as other trade publications. Our analysis of the quotations, which are attached for your information, indicates that the submission from Sartor and Susin Limited is the most satisfactory and lowest overall quotation received. In the event that Sartor and Susin Limited cannot supply all our equipment needs during the peak construction periods, we feel it would be prudent to be able to use the attached list to select equipment from the company which provides the next lowest tender price. This will be dependant on what equipment is specified and will help ensure that equipment is always available.

Continued Authority involvement in the SWAMP Program for another two years and report on the SWAMP Program's products and futur~ workplan, Moved by: Bill Saundercook Seconded by: Ron Moeser THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Authority enter into a Memorandum of Agreement between the Authority, the Ministry of the Environment, and the City of Toronto to extend the Stormwater Assessment Monitoring and Performance (SWAMP) Program for another two years until May 31, 2001 ; AND FURTHER THAT the attached report, dated May 5,1999, of SWAMP Program activities during the period 1995 to 1999 and future workplan be endorsed. . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority has participated in the Stormwater Assessment Monitoring and Performance (SWAMP) Program since it began in 1995. The SWAMP Program is led by a Steering Committee, chaired by the Ministry of the Environment, with representation from the Ministry of Transportation, Environment Canada, TRCA, and the Municipal Engineers Association. The purpose of the program is to assess the performance of new and conventional stormwater treatment technologies in terms of environmental benefits and operational/maintenance requirements. The Authority's role has been in the proviSion of technical input on workplans and reports, and accounting and administrative services. Since the beginning of the SWAMP Program, a total of nine stormwater management technologies have been monitored and they are: 1. MTO's Rouge River/401 stormwater management pond; 2. Richmond Hill's Harding Park stormwater retrofit pond; 3. Toronto's Eastern Beaches detention tank; 4, Toronto's (Etobicoke District) exfiltration system; 5, Aurora's wetland facility; 6, Markham's three-chambered oil grit separator; 7, Toronto's (Etobicoke District) Stormceptor; 8. Toronto's (North York District) infiltration drainage system; and 9. Markham's wet pond and wetland facility. Monitoring and final~raft-rQports.have..been-oompleted.fOf-the"{ifst tRfee-facHities. . Monitoring of the next four facilities has been completed and draft reports will be available this Spring. Monitoring equipment was installed at the last two facility sites in 1998; monitoring will, continue until 2000. Studies undertaken by the SWAMP Program have contributed greatly to our understanding of stormwater management issues: 8244 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14, 1999 . Studies have shown that stormwater runoff does contain elevated levels of pollutants that have the potential of producing adverse effects on the aquatic environment. . Stormwater management ponds, in both new and retrofit situations, provide good pollutant removal efficiencies. This exceptional performance is attributed to th'e permanent pool of the pond and long retention times, which are effective in removing contaminants such as suspended solids, phosphorus, and some metals, The underground storage tank provided a lower pollutant removal efficiency than the ponds, due to the short detention time. . Effluent temperature of SWM ponds is about 6-10 0 C higher than the influent temperature, and potential impacts on the receiving watercourses must be considered on a site-specific basis. . Sediment accumulation rates of 30 mm/yr were estimated at one pond, necessitating removal every 20 years. Preliminary assessments of sediment quality suggest that they may be disposed of in a designated landfill site, however further testing must be conducted on a site-specific basis prior to removal. . Vegetation community analysis at two constructed pond/wetlands found that substantial natural colonization occurred after only one growing season. However, the vegetation communities appear to be evolving toward a group of dominant species. This information will assist in designing future planting plans. Findings from the SWAMP Program have been disseminated through a number of conferences, seminars, publications, and web sItes. The SWAMP Program hosted a Stormwater/Combined Sewer Overflow Technology Transfer Conference in Toronto on February 23-24, 1998. This conference attracted over 250 participants. Presentations on specific SWAMP projects have been presented at TRCA's annual stormwater management seminars and at other conferences in Burlington, Florida, and Vancouver. Technical papers and articles have been published as part of conference proceedings, the Canadian Water Resources Association's (CWRA) national newsletter Water News, MTO's newsletter RoadTalk, and on web sites of the TRCA, CWRA, and Ryerson University. Findings of the monitoring studies have been used for the update of the Ministry of the Environment's Stormwater Management Practices (SWMP) Planning and Design Manual. BENEFITS Results arising from the SWAMP Program have confirmed the need for the continued implementation of stormwater management facilities and have demonstrated their environmental benefits, The multi-agency partnership of the SWAMP Program represents a cost-effective means of conducting comprehensive monitoring and assessment, that otherwise would be difficult for a single agerlcy. - May 14,1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 8245 DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Monitoring activities in the next phase of the SWAMP Program will continue to assess the performance of new technologies and their resultant environmental benefits. For the period between April 1, 1999 and May 31, 2001, ongoing facility monitoring at North York's infiltration system and Markham's wet pond and wetland facility will be completed, Additional projects will include performance assessment at Toronto's (Scarborough District) Dunker's Flow System, sediment accumulation studies in oil grit separators, and vegetation monitoring, TRCA staff will distribute copies of all final SWAMP reports to municipalities and other agencies, as the reports become available. FINANCIAL DETAILS The total program budget over two years is $570,000. Financial contributions are estimated at: $250,000 from Environment Canada's Great Lakes 2000 Clean Up Fund; $100,000 from Ministry of the Environment; and $220,000 from participating municipalities. The Authority is not expected to contribute cash, but rather in-kind services (i.e. accounting, administration, technical), Program funds will be used for contract staff salaries, purchase of equipment and laboratory analyses, and hiring of consulting services where no internal expertise exists.

Moved by: Bill Saundercook Seconded by: Ron Moeser THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the proposal from WilTel Communications (Canada) Inc. for the supply and installation of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's telecommunication system at a cost of $226,365 (plus taxes) be accepted, it being the lowest cost proposal that met the Authority's specifications; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to take the necessary action to execute a contract with WilT el Communication9'-(Osnad~'1 nc:-to"tJ1ldertake"this -project . . . . ; . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1990, the TRCA replaced its aging telephone system with a used Northern Telecom SL-1 system with Meridian Mail. Our implementation of voice mail and auto attendant features has proven to be an important productivity tool in facilitating effective communications, The system was acquired as part of a tendering process and with assistance from the telecommunications staff of the former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, 8246 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14,1999 The system has evolved and grown as the need for additional telecommunications infrastructure has increased with the use of fax, data and voice communications. For example, several years ago, the Authority created its own fibre optic and copper twisted pair network from Head Office to Black Creek Pioneer Village. This eliminated expensive Bell Canada off-premise extension charges and paid for itself in about two years, In late 1997, staff was advised that the current software for the Meridian Mail was not year 2000 compliant. Staff entered into discussions with the existing supplier to determine options. Also, staff again requested and received assistance from the telecommunications staff of the City of Toronto. At the Authority's Executive Committee (#10/98) staff provided a status report detailing the options that would allow the Authority to meet its future telecommunication needs. With respect to this report, the following resolution was adopted: RES. #B186/98 'THAT in accordance with the Authority Purchasing Policy, staff be directed to proceed to conduct a public tendering process for supply and installation of a Meridian 1, Option 11 C Nortel Networks (Northern Telecom) Private Branch Exchange (PBX) System to replace the Authority Head Office/Black Creek Pioneer Village telephone System. .. Authority Staff prepared a "Request for Proposal For The Supply and Installation of a Telecommunication System" (Will be available at the Executive Committee Meeting) which was released on April 9, 1999 to the following firms: -WilTel Communications (Canada) Incorporated; -Accord Communications Incorporated;. -Bell Canada; -Lucent Technologies Incorporated; -Reliant Communications; -Computer Consultant Group, and -Link Telecom Services Ltd. The request for proposal indicated the Authority is seeking a comprehensive solution to its telecommunications needs that will serve as a cost effective platform for future growth. The solution will demonstrate technological sophistication, ease of use, flexibility and capacity to grow and evolve. The solution will be the technological foundation of the Authority's telecommunications strategy for the foreseeable future. E-commerce, call centre management, network integration (voice, data, fax) wiU-ee ..addresse<:l"A-the.im~ediate..futl:H"e. T-he 'd'losen 'Sottttion will offer the best opportunity for the Authority to implement a successful, integrated, telecommunications strategy. The request for proposal highlighted the following key telecommunication options Authority staff believe are important for the Authority's fu~ure growth: May 14,1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 8247 -PBX Switch with digital trunking capabilities; -Voice Mail; -Call Detail Record; -Megalink digital trunking with Call Line Identification; and -Call Centre capabilities, In addition to these options, the request for proposal also requested telecommunication solutions to improve the phone system and introduce voice mail at the Kortright Centre for Conservation, and to explore the potential of introducing wireless communication for the Black Creek Pioneer Village, A Vendor's meeting was scheduled for Thursday, April 15, 1999 which the firms of WilTel Communications, Bell Canada and Computer Consultant Group attended, Submissions were requested to be received by Monday, April 26, 1999. The following firms provided submission at this time: -WilTel Communications (Canada) Incorporated; -Bell Canada, and -Modular Telephone Interface Ltd. (MTI/Link Telecom Services), The MTI's original submission was not fully completed and subsequent submissions to provide this information was also not complete and still outstanding. Therefore this submission was not reviewed any further.

The options of a'Call Centre and Companion (Wireless Communication) fo.r BCPV remain priority telecommunication needs, however current funding allocations may preclude undertaking these options in 1999. 8250 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14,1999 Cost The proposal from WiITel Communications provided the best cost ($226,365 versus $255,095 - Bell Canada) for the key telecommunication components, In addition the proposal from WilT el provided additional features including 2 Megalink Digital trunking capabilities, a Compaq personal computer for the Call Detail Record package, and UPS backup power supply which provides cleaner and more consistent power than standard batteries, Bell Canada's proposal may have included annual maintenance costs of about $10,000 that could not apply in the first year. Even with this adjustment, the WilTel proposal is the lower bid, The Bell Canada recommendation for Kortright of a second 11 C option PBX with 2 additional digital trunking capabilities was an innovative solution which would have provided the Authority with one overall phone system and voice mail, however both the capital and annual service costs for this solution were considered too high, In terms of the Call Centre and Wireless communication options, the WilTel proposal was slightly higher ($112,187 versus $105,914 - Bell Canada), however the cost for the Wireless communication option was strictly a "ball park" estimate. An engineering deployment study is required for this option to assess the technical feasibility of this technology and to provide detail costs. In recognizing this need, and in understanding the unique nature of BCPV and its historic buildings, WilTel provided a cable estimate for this option of $25,439 versus Bell Canada's cable estimate of $2,475, Staff are of the opinion that significant cost will be associated with cabling at BCPV. Telecommunication Specifications Both of the vendors' proposals meet the specifications as detailed in the Request for Proposal. The WiITel Communication proposal analysed our current call traffic flows and situation, and recognized that additional features and requirements were needed (eg.2 Megalink digital trunking capabilities to provide significantly more phone trunks than currently used). WiITel Communication is the Authority's current telecommunications maintenance provider and has shown a consistent level of maintenance during this contract. WilTel Communication has a direct maintenance call line and provides coverage 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Bell Canada maintenance request procedure would require Authority staff to call their general service number (611) and then be routed to the appropriate maintenance group. Staff have some concerns about Bell Canada's maintenance procedure. Both proposals responded to the Request for Proposal in an orderly, concise, and easily understood format, and indicated the ability to meet the deadlines.

(TOTAL 5) RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose is to regrade in order to construct a single family dwelling with an attached garage and septic tanks on a vacant lot within the fill regulated area and a leaching bed in the flood plain of the Humber River. May 14,1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 8269 Control of Flooding: The proposed residence and septic tanks are located on land outside of the Regional Storm flood plain. The proposed tile bed for the septic system is proposed to be located within the Regional Storm flood plain; however, final grades will match existing grades. Therefore there will be no impact on flood storage and no impact on conveyance characteristics, Pollution: The septic tanks will be located on table land, with the leaching bed component set back approximately 67 metres from the Humber River. Regrading work in this area of the lot will not result in sedimentation problems in the Humber River. Conservation of Land: There are no resource features on the lot or fisheries issues associated with the proposal. Policv Guidelines: The proposal has been reviewed pursuant to the Valley & Stream Corridor Management Program, Section 4.2,2. (G) - Infilling, Sub-section (1) of the policy states that new structures and any associated private servicing may be permitted provided that the structure and any associated private servicing are not located in the Regulatory Storm flood plain. This application does not comply with policy as the leaching bed component of the septic system is located in the flood plain. In thiS site specific case, staff are recommending approval of the application based on the following rationale: - the lot is the last remaining vacant lot on Broda Drive that has land outside the flood plain, - the proposal has been designed so that the new residence and treatment tanks for the septic system are located outside the flood plain. The only component of the system within the flood plain is the leaching bed, which will be set back approximately 67 metres from the Humber River; - the leaching bed can be constructed by excavation of material and replacement with sand, resulting in no change to the existing grade; therefore there is no loss of flood storage capacity and no change to the conveyance characteristics. - while the option of extending municipal services may be possible, it would also create a further demand to develop other existing undeveloped lots which are entirely within the regional flood plain, Since this is the last remaining undeveloped lot on Broda Drive which has non-flood plain land associated with it, private servicing is preferred. It is Authority staffs opinion that for the reasons set out above this application represents a reasonable eXGeptiOR tG-tRe -infill policy.

The channel works include removing an old section of gabion lined channel upstream of Confederation Parkway and replacing it with a section of natural low flow channel. As part of the channel works the existing on-line pond will be modified through changes to the control structures, These changes will allow for stormwater quantity and quality benefits, The works will also allow for an environmental enhancement to a degraded reach of the New Westminister Creek, The off-line pond will be constructed adjacent to the channel and will outlet downstream of the prGposed watercourse--aAd ponEHml*0vements. The works are part of the development of the Block 17 (Dufferin Hills) residential area within the City of Vaughan and have been determined through the Master Environmental Servicing Plan. , 8272 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14,1999 Control of Flooding: The proposed works will provide water quality and quantity control for the new development for the Block 17 area in conformance with the approved MESP and the TRCA criteria for the Don River watershed. There will be no impact on the control of flooding, Pollution: A comprehensive erosion and sediment control plan including construction staging has been reviewed by staff and found to be satisfactory. The majority of the works can be done in the dry as the existing creek channel will continue to convey flows, with diversion occurring after the new channel alignment is built. Flows will be diverted around the outfall (control) structures by temporary swales while the structures are modified. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical or resource issues associated with the proposal, The works, particularly relating to the natural channel design and the water quantity pond outfall structure, have been reviewed pursuant to the Federal Fisheries Act. The work represents an alteration that has impacts on habitat that can be mitigated. Authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans is therefore not required, In water works will comply with the timing guidelines for warmwater fisheries (July 1 - March 31). Native woody plant material will be used to revegetate the stormwater facilities in accordance with Authority and Ministry of the Environment guidelines, Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are in conformance with the approved Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program Section 4,3 - Infrastructure and Servicing.

Letter of Undertaking from Thom Charters, Golf Course Manager, (Re: Use of Native Plants for Naturalization) dated May 4, 1999; received May 5, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of excavating and placing fill material as part of the rebuilding of the 10th Hole Green and the 17th Hole Tees, at the same general location of the existing tee and green, as well as constructing a temporary 10th Hole Green within the Bayview Country Club golf course, The eXisting 10th Green is perched on a previously filled portion of the valley floor and it is becoming increasingly difficult for some of the older members of the country club to access the site (a long stairway must be climbed to access this Green from the adjacent cart path), The 17th Tees will be raised to match the elevation of the cart path immediately to the east of this site. The earthworks required for the new (Le, permanent) 10th Hole Green and the 17th Hole Tees will be located within the Fill Regulated Area; the temporary 10th Hole Green will be situated within the Regional Storm flood plain of the German Mills Creek, Control of Floodina: Fill placement for the temporary 10th Hole Green will result in the importation of 200 cubic metres of material within the flood plain, comprised of a specialized mixture of soil to sustain the grass species used to vegetate the Green and for mounding (i.e, roughly 1 metre height) around the perimeter of the Green, This facility is only required for a period of approximately one year, until the permanent 10th Green has been completed. Once the permanent 10th Hole Green is operational, the temporary facility will be removed and all grades will be returned to pre-development elevations. Authority staff concur with this approach and feel that the temporary fill placement will not impact flood levels on adjacent lands. A letter has been requested from the proponent, acknowledging that the fill will be removed from the Regional Storm flood plain of the German Mills Creek once the permanent 10th Hole Green is playable, Pollution: Even though the construction site is located 150 metres (+) from the watercourse, at the applicant's discretion, silt fencing will still be erected to contain migrating sediments during the proposed earthworks, 8274 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14,1999 Conservation of Land: The temporary 10th Hole Green is situated on the valley floor; the permanent (i.e, rebuilt) Green occurs within a previously filled area adjacent to an existing treed slope of the valley corridor. The 17th Hole Tees are located to the east of the existing (and proposed) 10th Green; while the 10th Hole Green will be lowered, the 17th Tees will be raised. The proposed earthworks will utilize the existing fill on-site to lower the perched area so that the new 10th Green is more accessible to golfers. The existing, well-defined treed slope adjacent to the site will not be impacted by the proposed works (i.e, all work will be well away from the toe of the vegetated slope). In fact, the proponent intends to enhance the valley corridor by the creation of natural areas which are presently maintained in a manicured state around the rebuilt 10th Hole Green and the new 17th Hole Tees, The naturalized areas will be planted with native woody vegetation; native herbaceous species will be planted amongst the new trees and shrubs. Authority staff has reviewed the proposed earthworks and determined that the adjacent treed valley wall will not be impacted by the proposed works.

The new owners of the lands intend to build a smaller dwelling in the same location as was originally proposed by the prevIous landowner. The majority of the subject property is located within the Fill Regulated Area; only the eastern third of the lands are situated within the Regional Storm flood plain of the Duffins Creek. Control of Flooding: No part of the proposed development will be located within the flood plain. Pollution: Sediment transport to the Duffins Creek is not expected as part of the proposed works, since the construction site is located more than 70 metres from the watercourse. Conservation of Land: There is no definable top-of-bank on this property; the lands gently slope towards the Duffins Creek stream corridor to the east. An existing forest edge exists more than 10 metres east of the building site (the watercourse is more than 70 metres from the watercourse as mentioned above). The area between the road and the forest edge is devoid of any woody vegetation and was likely formerly used as a pasture/grazing area for livestock.

The purpose is to regrade the tableland and provide stream bank stabilization. The permit will be issued for the period of May 14, 1999 to May 13, 2004. . Stream and Valley Enhancement Plan, Nugget Construction Company Ltd.; prepared by Cosburn Patterson Mather; Contract # 98681; drawings # 1 and 2; received May 7,1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: In support of a draft plan of subdivision which was approved at the Ontario Municipal Board, the applicant is proposing to undertake two separate works within the stream and valley corridor of the Carruthers Creek. ~The-fifst-PFOposal.is-to1Jlaee'fill-and regrade-tne-tableland to create developable lands as part of a balanced cut and fill. The second proposal is to undertake stream bank erosion protection. The Carruthers Creek Corridor in this reach is considered a stream corridor by staff although there are some slopes which are definable with a top of bank feature. The corridor is generally devoid of significant woody vegetation. An abandoned railway berm is located immediately downstream of the property. The lands are fill regulated and partially within the Regional Storm flood plain. May 14.1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 8281 Control of Floodina: The applicant owns both sides of the stream corridor and is proposing a balanced cut and fill. Under Regional Storm conditions, the railway berm holds flood waters back resulting in a widening of the flood plain just upstream. The area that is flooded because of the berm is approximately 50 metres long and 25 metres wide and represents passive flood storage, The applicant is proposing to fill this area to raise it out of the flood plain. An equivalent compensating cut is proposed on the opposite side of the corridor within the same hydraulic cross-section which will replace the lost flood storage, Our technical staff have reviewed this proposal and find it satisfactory. There will be no impact on the control of flooding from these works, The stream bank works will not affect flood flows. Pollution: Sediment fencing will be installed around the limits of the cut and fill sites to prevent the movement of construction generated sediments. In order to minimize sediment suspension, the stream bank protection works will be done as quickly as possible and are estimated to take 3 to 4 hours. Machinery will not enter the watercourse, Staff are not requiring any additional sediment control measures. Conservation of Land: The area that is to be cut will become new flood plain and valley floor, and will be flooded on a frequent basis, The applicant is proposing to restore and enhance this area by creating a wetland and wet meadow enhancing the local terrestrial and aquatic habitats, Staff have reviewed the planting plans and find them satisfactory. Through the Ontario Municipal Board decision, residential development was approved and included a 10 metre buffer adjacent to the definable top of bank adjacent to the area which requires toe protection, It was also ordered that the bank be stabilized with the appropriate plantings and toe protection. The stream bank protection will be done by undertaking minor filling at the toe of the valley slope where it is co-incident with the watercourse, The toe will be protected with rounded stone and planted with live-staked shrubs that will overhang the watercourse. Because the works extend about 0.5 metres into the watercourse they are determined to be a Harmful Alteration, Destruction or Disruption under the Federal Fisheries Act. However, because of the slumping condition of the valley wall the existing fish habitat is determined to be insignificant at this location. It is the opinion of Authority staff that the proposed works, which are required to be undertaken within the appropriate fisheries window for protection of fish habitat, will compensate for the loss, However, the Authority's permission for this aspect of the work will be held in abeyance until Authorization has been issued from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The stream works wift-be-done'from-ttTe'opposite'Side-of the'watercourse-so'as not to disturb the valley slope further. Access to the site will be determined in the field and fenced. 8282 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14,1999 Policy Guidelines: The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to section 3,2.2 2) Policies and Procedures for Establishing Corridor Boundaries and Alterations and section 3.3 B) Policies and procedures for Identifying Watercourses and Alterations, CFN: 29750 Application #: 213/98/AJAX Report Prepared by: Mary Asselstine, extension 304 For information contact: Mary Asselstine, extension 304 Date: August 25, 1998 TOWN OF CALEDON 8.1.25 DARYL A.

Letter of Undertaking from Cosburn Patterson Mather, received May 13, 1999, agreeing to finalize the Planting Restoration Plans for Pond "C" satisfactory to TRCA Staff . RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: OPA 36 (Berczy Village) in the Town of Markham includes the lands north of Sixteenth Avenue, and south of Major Mackenzie Road, between McCowan and Kennedy Roads, and designates these Ia.nds for residential development. The headwaters of Burndenet Creek, a tributary of the Rouge River bisects the property from north to south. This reach of the Burndenet Creek is not fill regulated; but has an upstream drainage area greater than 125 ha. The watercourse is ill-defined and intermittent at the upstream end and has been highly disturbed by previous agricultural practices. In the middle reaches of this site the watercourse is defined; however, there is no well defined valley feature until the lower reaches just north of Sixteenth Avenue, where the valley is well vegetated and the watercourse begins to be permanently flowing, To facilitate the storm water servicing for the site, and in accordance with the approved "Environmental and Stormwater Management Study, Berczy Village Secondary Plan", the applicant is proposing to lower Burndenet Creek from the up stream limits of the well defined channel to the upstream edge of the wooded well-defined valley reach, and to construct a water quantity/quality stormwater management pond in the h~ad water area (Pond C). The channel design will also incorporate a second pond, on-line (Pond F), which is designed to assist in the control of post development flows to predevelopment levels downstream. Up stream of Pond C, where the watercours~s..curre~lI-defjAeGjii storm13ipe will-b~stalled to-corntey the flows. Control of Flooding: Regional flood elevations and limits were calculated for this site and were used to set the proposed stream corridor limits. Through the design of the stream corridor and storm water ponds, and review of the hydraulic analysis, it has been demonstrated that flood plain storage and flows will be maintained. Therefore there will be no impacts on the flood plain downstream of this site. , May 14,1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 8285 Pollution: The works will be done in the summer months when there is little flow in the watercourse, A large stilling basin with a hickenbottom control structure is to be constructed at the downstream end, prior to the earth works, to control the movement of any sediment laden waters. The proposed low flow channel will be stabilized with mulch matting and allowed to establish before the sediment controls are dismantled. Conservation of Land: The portion of the watercourse affected by the proposed channel lowering is intermittent, highly disturbed, with little woody vegetation, and provides only marginal fish habitat. The proposed works will enhance this reach of the Rouge River system. Immediately downstream there is potential cold water fish habitat. The watercourse has been designed using natural channel design principles, incorporating a series of meandering stream channel reaches and wet meadow pools. Pond F which is on-line to the channel will not impede the migration of fish. The excavated corridor, which will form a new gently sloped valley will be enhanced with native woody vegetation. The channel design has been reviewed by both Authority staff and Ministry of Natural Resources staff and has been found satisfactory. Authorization is required from the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). We are recommending that the new channel be considered as compensation for the loss of the existing degraded channel. The Authority's permit will be held in abeyance until the Authorization has been issued from DFO. Policv Guidelines: The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to Sections 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing and 3.3 - Policies for Watercourse Alterations.

Site Plan and Details, Temporary Creek Crossing, Robinson Creek; prepared by Cosburn Patterson Mather; received May 11, 1999. 8286 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14,1999 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: In order to facilitate the construction of a storm water management pond (which is the subject of a separate permit application on this agenda - Pond C - Markham Trails Ltd. Partnership), the applicant requires a temporary crossing of Robinson Creek. There is no well defined valley feature at this location. The watercourse has been used in the past as a ford crossing (at grade crossing) for farm purposes and is highly disturbed, This site will be the location of a permanent road crossing in the future, and the watercourse will be restored and enhanced at that time. The crossing is proposed with two CSP culverts covered with river run stone. The stream corridor is not fill regulated; however, the drainage area is greater than 125 ha. The existing Regional flood plain has been calculated and mapped for this site. Control of Flooding: As the works are temporary and minor in nature, and there is presently no adjacent development, staff have not requested a hydraulic analysis at this time. A hydraulic analysis will be required when the application for the permanent crossing is received. The culverts will convey frequent flows without overtopping, Pollution: The culverts will be installed "in the dry" by damming and pumping around the work site. Sediment fencing will be installed on either side of the crossing to prevent the movement of sediment into the watercourse during the earth moving works, Conservation of Land: There is no insitu fish habitat and the watercourse is intermittent. Authorization is not required from the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Provided that no sediment goes downstream there is no risk to fish habitat. However, as a precaution, we have advised the applicant to work within the appropriate fish window (June 15 to September 15). The consultant adVised that this would meet their construction scheduling. There are no other significant natural resource features on this site. Policv Guidelines: The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to section 4.3 Infrastructure and ServiCing.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: In order to service a proposed plan of subdivision, the applicant is proposing to construct two watercourse crossing and two storm outfalls. The site of the development is at the headwaters of Dunbarton and Pine Creeks and is on a significant recharge discharge zone. The area in not fill regulated, Control of Flooding: The upstream drainage area is less than 125 ha. The culverts will convey the frequent flows. All larger storm flows will remain within the defined valley corridors and will not impact lands up or downstream. The outfalls will not affect the conveyance of flows. There is no on-site storm water control required, In co-operation with the Town of Pickering, the applicant will be retrofitting an existing adjacent pond to control flood flows to Dunbarton Creek. Pollution: The culvert works will be undertaken either under conditions where there is no flow in the watercourse, or the flows will be dammed and pumped around the work sites. Sediment fencing Will be installed between the outfalls and the watercourse to prevent the movement of construction generated sediments, 8288 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14,1999 Conservation of Land: Because of the a high ground water table on the site, a foundation drain collector will be installed to convey clean ground water to the watercourses, Seepage collars will be incorporated into the service systems to pr~vent ground water from being diverted away by the service pipes. The two valley corridors will be protected and enhanced with native woody vegetation at the outfall and culvert crossing sites, Policy Guidelines: The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to section 4.3 -Infrastructure and Servicing, CFN: 30187 Application #: 089/99/PICK Report Prepared by: Mary Asselstine, extension 304 For information contact: Mary Asselstine, extension 304 Date: April 22, 1999 TOWN OF RICHMOND HILL 8.1.31 REGION OF YORK To alter a waterway, construct in a flood plain, place fill within a regulated area on (Leslie Street North Of Major Mackenzie Drive), in the Town of Richmond Hill, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Region Of York. The purpose is to alter a waterway by removing an existing CSP Culvert, place fill to widen Leslie Street north of Major Mackenzie Drive, and construct a new 13.0 metre span bridge within the Regional Storm flood plain and Fill Regulated Area of the Rouge River. The permit will be issued for the period of May 14, 1999 to May 13, 2001. . Letter of Undertaking from Peter Cholewa, P.Eng., Project Manager, Transportation Design and Construction, The Regional Municipality of York (Re: Acknowledgment that DFO Authorization is required prior to release of TRCA permit) dated and received on May 12, 1999. RA TI ONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: May 14,1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 8289 Proposal: The proposal consists of placing fill material to widen Leslie Street north of Major Mackenzie Drive and replace an existing CSP culvert with a clear span bridge structure 13.0 metres long over the Rouge River at this location. Staff has completed the review of an associated Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) application for this project and is satisfied with all preliminary details involving the proposed works; the permit application submitted pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 outlines the detailed design requirements identified by staff through the EM review process. The proposed crossing and a section of Major Mackenzie Drive to the north and south are located within the Fill Regulated Area and Regional Storm flood plain of the Rouge River. Control of Floodina: Authority staff has reviewed a hydraulic impact analysis prepared by the project consultant and determined that the road filling work, as well as the new clear span bridge, will not increase flooding on upstream or downstream lands, Therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works. Pollution: Due to the extremely steep valley slopes at this site and the large flow area in the watercourse channel, it would be physically impossible to remove the existing CSP culvert by isolating the area with coffer dams and pumping streamflow around the site. Accordingly, much more sedimentation would result and significant damage to the valley resource features would occur from attempting to install a by-pass system before removing the culvert, Through the EM process, it was agreed by all review agencies that the CSP culvert would have to be removed as qUickly as possible at this location (this work will be completed in 2 days) without conventional sediment controls, Once the culvert is removed, silt fencing and a sand bag shoring system will be installed between the watercourse and the new bridge abutments on the valley floor to completely isolate this work area and impede the overland migration of construction-generated sediments, In addition, rock check dams will be installed in the roadside ditches to hold back silt from the road widening work; oil/grit separators will be installed in the new road to treat roadway runoff prior to releasing stormwater into the Rouge River. Conservation of land: Once the old CSP culvert has been removed, rounded field boulders and river-run stone will be installed within the river channel for erosion protection and fishery habitat enhancement (the valley floor silt fencing and sand bag shoring system as discussed above will isolate the newly lined channel). Since the permit application submission pre-dates the signing of the Level 3 agreement between the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and the Authority, Ministry of Natural Resources (Aurora District) staff has referred the project to the DFO for Authorization pursuant to the Fisheries Act; Ministry staff will continue to do so regarding the DFO approval for this project. Authority staff are continuing to work closely with staff of the Ministry in order to achieve our mutual fishery enhancemeAt-ebjectives--es part'of~rop6SaI.~e~esign ot-the-channel enhancements are acceptable to all approval agencies and the fish habitat structures to be installed will compensate for the harmful alteration, disruption, or destruction (HADD) caused by the proposed in-stream works, DFO Authorization is pending at this time; the permit will be held in abeyance until Authorization has been issued for the HADD, , 8290 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14,1999 Immediately upstream of the new bridge, the watercourse channel is coincident with the toe of,valley wall. Through the EAA review process, a geotechnical investigation was completed and accepted by review agency staff. The investigation outlined that the slope erosion will be corrected by armouring the river bank! toe of va/ley wall and the slope will be extensively rehabilitated with native woody plant material and ground covers. All other filled and disturbed areas within the valley corridor will also be planted with native tree, shrub, and herbaceous material. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program and previous staff comments on the related EM application.

The works are proposed for an area of the tributary between Bayberry and Burbank Drive at the rear of private properties on Citation Drive, An addrtional section of the tributary upstream of Bayberry Crescent in Bayview Village Park, owned by the City of Toronto, is proposed for rehabilitation as part of a second phase. Control of Floodina: The existing channel area and cross section will remain unchanged, There will be no impact on the control of flooding. Pollution: Erosion and sediment controls will be utilized for those sections of the channel where in water works are required. Flow can be diverted around these sections, or work can be undertaken in dry conditions due to low flow, Conservation of Land: The works in both phases have been reviewed by staff pursuant to the Federal Fisheries Act. Due to the existence of a drop structure downstream, the works are considered to represent a harmful alteration that can be mitigated. Authority staff, City staff and the consultant retained by the City have worked to minimize the amount of disturbance to the existing vegetation and natural substrate of the creek, as well as incorporating additional plantings where feasible The section within Bayview Mews park is currently asphalt lined, The second phase of this project will incorporate a natural channel design into the rehabilitation of this reach. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with the approved Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program Section 3,3 - Watercourses and Alterations.

Staff report on the status of the public process concerning the potential disposal of an approximate 4 acre parcel in the vicinity of Advance Boulevard and Highway #407, City 'of Brampton, Etobicoke Creek Watershed. Members of the public have been invited to attend before the Executive Committee to make submissions or comments. Moved by: John Adams Seconded by: Cliff Gyles THAT the staff report dated April 26, 1999 regarding potential disposal of an approximate 4 acre (1.62 hectare) parcel of Authority-owned land in the vicinity of Advance Boulevard and Highway #407, City of Brampton, Etobicoke Creek Watershed, be received; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to review all public submissions and comments received and provide a further report to the members of the Executive Committee with a suggested course of action for the potential disposition of the subject lands. . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #1/99, held February 12,1999, Resolution #B16/99 was adopted: THA T the potential disposal of an Authority-owned land in the vicinity of Advance Boulevard and Highway #407, City of Brampton, be referred to Authority staff for review in accordance with established Authority policies; AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action. The parcel being reviewed is more particularly described as Part of the west half of Lot 14, Concession 4 EHS, City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel. The subject property has no direct frontage onto a municipal road, and is 4 acres (1.62 hectares), more or less, in size. In accordance with Authority policy the following action has been taken to date: . a sign was installed on the subject lands on April 6, 1999 inviting public comment; . notices of the Public Information Session were sent to the City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel, Ontario Realty Corporation, Highway 407 Express Toll Route, Councillor Rhoda Begley,..col:lnoillor-Peter-RicharGls-and~l.oommereial-properties within 400 feet of the property; . notice of the Public Information Session and requests for public comment were placed in the Toronto Star on April 1 0, 1999 and the Brampton Guardian on April 9, 1999; May 14, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 8293 . a Public Information Session was held on April 12, 1999, at the Toronto & Region Conservation Authority head office, Humber Room during the hours of 1 :00 p.m. to 4:30 p,m.; . members of the public have been invited to attend the Executive Committee to make submissions or comments, The attached public information package was distributed at the Public Information Session. Three written submissions were received expressing a possible interest in either a long term lease or acquisition of the lands; no objections to the sale of the lands was received. It is proposed that the disposal of the land be at market value. RATIONALE The subject parcel of land was acquired by the TRCA in 1981, as part of a larger parcel which included a tributary of the Etobicoke Creek. Subsequent to the acquisition, detailed flood plain mapping was produced for this reach of the Etobicoke Creek, which revealed that approximately 4 acres (1,62 hectares) of the parcel constituted table land. The TRCA maintains limited ownership of lands along this reach of the Etobicoke Creek, with the City of Brampton and the Province owning the majority of greenspace lands in this vicinity, Maintenance of this parcel has also been an issue in light of illegal dumping activities which take place from time to time. The property is not within the flood plain or an active erosion zone, The TRCA has canvassed the City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel and Province of Ontario regarding this parcel of land, and none have expressed an objection to the proposed disposal, Based on this analysis there would appear to be no benefit to the TRCA retaining ownership of this parcel. Prior to declaring the property as surplus to the TRCA's requirements, it is important for the TRCA to obtain comments from the public as there may be factors that have been overlooked in formulating this conclusion. Staff feel it is essential that in the management of the Authority's resources every effort possible is made to assist in reducing the funding requirements from the taxpayers, and accordingly, the disposal, if suitable arrangements can be made, is in the best interests of the Authority and the public, Report prepared by: Luch Ognibene, extension 284 For information -oontact: -Luch OgRibene,-extension-284 Don Prince, extension 221 Date: April 30, 1999 Attachments (3) 8294 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14,1999 Attachment 1 ~ THE TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORllY V .- , PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSION APRIL 12,1999 1 :00 - 4:30 p.m. TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY HUMBER ROOM TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY OWNED LAND ADVANCE BOULEVARD & HIGHWAY 407 CITY OF BRAMPTON - May 14,1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 8295 TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY OWNED LAND ADVANCE BOULEVARD & HIGHWAY 407 CITY OF BRAMPTON BACKGROUND The Toronto and RegIon Conservation Authority (TRCA) is reviewing the possibility of disposing a vacant parcel of land in the vicinity of Advance Boulevard and Highway 407 in the City of Brampton.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The Members of the Recognition/Employee Suggestion Award Sub-Committee met on April 30, 1999 to discuss the selection of the 1999 Honour Roll Award Recipients. The nominations are put forward for recommendation. The designated areas for tree planting at Black Creek Pioneer Village and around the Authority Office are reaching capacity, therefore it is recommended that the Recognition/Employee Suggestion Award Sub-Committee be able to designate the location for plantings in the Honour Roll Awards recommendations to the Executive Committee. Suggested changes in wording of Section C.3. have been recommended by staff to ensure that an exact number of years have been worked for eligibility. This would eliminate the possibility of a single staff member receiving two awards in a given year and maintain the significance of the award. For information contact: J.

The Safety Footwear section of the Uniform / Costume policy be amended to increase the reimbursement percentage and dollar limits. Moved by: John Adams Seconded by: Cliff Gyles THAT effective May 1,1999 the Safety Footwear section of the Uniform / Costume policy found on pages 114 and 115 of the Personnel Manual be amended so that Regular Staff are provided with a contribution of 100% of the cost of Safety Footwear to a maximum of $100 a pair and that Supplementary Staff are provided with a contribution of 100% of the cost of safety footwear to a maximum of $50 a pair. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND The current policy provides for a contribution of 50% to a maximum of $50 a pair for regular staff and a contribution of 50% to a maximum of $25 a pair for supplementary staff. In order to receive the contribution the footwear must meet the CSA Green Patch standard. Reimbursement is limited to a summer pair and a winter pair and is subject to supervisory approval. RATIONALE The Occupational Health and Safety Act requires many of the jobs within the Authority to wear safety footwear. The reimbursement level has not been increased for many years. The primary reason for providing this increase is to minimize the risk of occupational injuries by ensuring staff have quality safety footwear that they use. In addition this change will also provide our employees with a level of contribution that is comparable to what other municipalities provide and it will now be consistent with recent changes to the Authority's clothing policy. FINANCIAL DETAILS Based on current reimbursement levels, it is anticipated that this change in policy will cost the Authority an additional $2,600 per year. This additional cost can be accommodated within the approved 1999 budget. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Upon approval of this recommendation a communication to all staff will be distributed.

Yea THE MOTION WAS................................................... CARRIED BACKGROUND On April 20, 1999, the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) issued their decision on the Crooked Creek Golf Course proposal. The OMB allowed the appeals by the applicants and ordered Vaughan to amend the zoning by-law. The Board's order will not be issued until the following conditions have been fulfilled by the applicants: . Site plans have been prepared and a site plan agreement has been executed which identity all building and structures, proposed access routes (including pedestrian and cart walkways), servicing details, environmental monitoring plans and security; . Prepare stormwater management report and plans to the satisfaction of TRCA and City; . Prepare environmental management plan including turf management, integrated pest management practices, vegetation management and on-going environmental reporting arrangements satisfactory to the City and TRCA; . Prepare and execute restoration plans for holes suffering impact from vegetation loss, geotechnical concerns and for the balance of the site including regeneration plans for flood plain areas outside the golf course limits satisfactory to the City and TRCA; . Conduct slope stability impact assessment to finalize the development limit of any hole, tee and green outside of any erosion impact zone satiSfactory to the City and TRCA; . Prepare erosion and sediment control strategy; . Obtain necessary permits from TRCA; . Obtain approvals from the Region of York with respect to tree cutting; . Obtain any necessary approvals from MNR related to Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act, MOE related to taking of water and any other agency as may be applicable, including DFO authorization under the Fisheries Act; and, . The applicants convey the lands upon which the golf course is not a permitted use to either the City or the TRCA. (Generally lands west of the river). In reaching their decision the Board considered the application in the context of the City of Vaughan's Official Plan Amendments 4 and 6 which currently permit golf courses. Although approved in the-1.Q60's-, ORA 4.aRd.o-werEH~ace-wherHhe-golf-eourse-development applications were initially filed with the City (1990). The City's current Official Plan, OPA 400 was approved after the review of the applications had begun. The zoning for the flood plain portion of the valley lands (OS1) also permits golf course uses as of right. The Board indicated that the new policies of OPA 400 would not be explicitly applied to the application given that the proposal was submitted prior to the approval of OPA 400. However, the Board considered the environmental criteria of OPA 400 in evaluating the merits of the application. , May 14,1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 8315 In terms of the environmental conformity to OPA 4, 6 and 400, the OMB reviewed the proposal based on impacts to the terrestrial biology (forest interior, forest cover, quality of habitat, corridor function and flora and fauna), aquatic biology, hydrology and geology. The conclusions related to the terrestrial biology were that the area was already experiencing impact and that the additional impacts felt by the proposed golf course would be acceptable. In coming to these conclusions the Board seems to have considered that the existing zoning already permits a golf course within the flood plain and that therefore that "impact" already existed in fact. For example when evaluating the forest cover, the extent of removal east of the river within the high quality forest area was 1.98 ha (4.9 acres), however, the OMB reduced this figure to only 0.8 ha (2.0 acres) given that 1.18 ha (2.9 acres) were already permitted to be developed as a golf course. The removal of 7.9 ha (19.5 acre) of forest cover on the west side of the river was not considered significant. In general, the Board concluded that the reduction of habitat and corridor function was not significant as these functions would move to other areas of the ESA (contrary to the evidence presented by the Authority). The OMB also concluded that the issues related to the hydrology and geology were not insurmountable and could be adequately addressed during the TRCA permitting process. In terms of the planning instruments the Board afforded considerable weight to the as-of-right zoning permission on this site. The Board discussed at length its concerns with limiting property rights without compensation. The Board concluded that the proposal could meet the applicable environmental criteria in OPA 400. RATIONALE The decision of the Ontario Municipal Board is very unfortunate for two main reasons. First, the evidence put forward by the Authority on several issues was considered to be arbitrary and not relevant within an urban area In staffs opinion the standards advanced to the Board have been proven to apply in many other instances by ourselves and other experts. The Board's conclusion that additional impacts from this development are no greater than the impacts these areas are already experiencing because of their location within an urban area, does not recognize the increased importance of protecting these areas because of increasing urban development impacts. Although we do not agree with the judgement of the OMB there is little recourse to challenge their perception of the applicability of these standards as they are conclusions of fact not conclusions of law. While the OMB does allow for decisions to be reevaluated, it is understood that without new evidence (or some gross misapprehension of the evidence) there is little likelihood of the OMB reopening this matter. The second area of concern relates to the evaluation of the proposal in context of OPA 400. When adopted by the City of Vaughan this amendment successfully elevated the importance of the e nvi ron m ent in. cORsider~ng developm eRt.appl ications-withtn-the -City. 8316 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/99 May 14,1999 The previous environmental policies contained in OPA 4 and 6 were very limited, In interpreting the policies of Amendment 400, the OMB concluded that the proposed golf course would be permitted, subject only to meeting the environmental criteria. However, as stated in OPA 400, the policies are based on "fundamental philosophical principles" which require a high degree of protection ang conservation of Vaughan's environmental resources. The policies further state that protection will mean the prohibition of development within predominantly woodland areas and associated buffer areas. The implementation of these policies, specifically related to golf courses, reauires an amendment to the Official Plan and allows development only upon demonstrating that such uses will not impair the environmental functions, attributes and linkages being performed by the valley and stream corridors. The Board issues a decision to amend the zoning by-law without also amending the Official Plan currently in effect. Further, the OMB interpreted OPA 400 by first limiting the review to solely the environmental criteria and second, concluding that, where it could be shown that there were no "unacceptable environmental impacts", there was essentially conformity with OPA 400. As a result the OMB concluded that the proposal conforms to the Official Plan and granted the appeal by amending only the zoning by-law. The proposed grounds of appeal are that the OMB has erred in law by: . Concluding that the proposed zoning by-law amendment conforms to the Official Plan of Vaughan (OPA 400); . Failing to apply all of the policies of OPA 400 and accepting the position of the applicant that such amendment did not apply in law; . Concluding that no Official Plan Amendment was required; and . By misinterpreting the policies of OPA 400 by equating that the proposed uses "will not impair" as being the same as "not an unacceptable adverse impact." It is recommended that the Authority proceed with the leave to appeal to the Divisional Court on this basis. To ensure that this opportunity was available, staff instructed legal counsel to file the leave to appeal prior to the deadline on Friday May 7, 1999. This has been done and the notice of motion for leave has been served and filed, DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff will actively pursue the leave to appeal to the Divisional Court so that the policies of the OPA 400 are evaluated properly and in their entirety. We will continue to report to the Executive Committee as additional details become available.

Dear Jim, The above referenced permit application refers to a proposal by Pickering Hydro to install, a double circuit overhead hydro pole line, within the Regional Storm flood plain of the West Duffins Creek. This ongoing matter has been the subject of two town meetings and the last meeting of the Pickering Hydro Commission. Alternatives have been presented and are currently being reviewed. The Hydro Commission has agreed to another town meeting where residents, School Board representatives and other related parties can be heard. One of the Residents issues is their belief that this flood plain should be conserved in its present state, that its trees and vegetation should not be disturbed and the view should not be diminished by power lines. As we are still discussing this matter we strongly request and urge the members of the Executive Committee to defer approval of this permit and allo~ this ongoing process to run it proper course. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. . ,___~....=..:..= c:' - ,:~-:.-::-~-~..-.:.:--~ .,. - - -:~ .1'/2- Doug Dickerson - Mark HOlian!

CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A 131/95, adopted at Authority Meeting #4/95, held on May 26, 1995, approved the Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project. Negotiations have been conducted with Michael Crabtree of John D. Rodgers and Associates Inc., representative of the owner. The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed the proposal and is in concurrence with the purchase of the property, Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject property falls within the Authority's approved master plan for acquisition along the Lake Ontario shoreline and is adjacent to Authority holdings. It is part of the Provincially Designated Wetland and represents a significant component of the Frenchman's Bay Marsh Environmentally Significant Area #126.

Arsandco Ltd., Landscape Plan; prepared by Alexander Budrevics Associates Ltd.; project # 991-966; received May 28, 1999 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: June 4, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/99 B344 Proposal: In 1990 a planning approval was issued for the development of an apartment building on this site which is immediately adjacent to a tributary of the Highland Creek. At that time a permit was not required for these works as the existing flood line mapping indicated that the site was not flood susceptible. Construction of the building was initiated, but not completed, leaving a large excavafed hole for the basement and foundations. In 1998 the floodline mapping was updated and established that this site, as excavated, was now located in the Regional Storm flood plain. Control of Flooding: Given the development history on this site staff are not concerned with supporting this proposal in the flood plain. If the site had not been excavated it would not currently be in the flood plain. Our interest in this development is to confirm that the proposed structure and associated parking will be raised back out of the flood plain when the works are complete. In this regard, staff have reviewed the plans and are satisfied. Pollution: A sediment fence will be installed between the site and the stream corridor to prevent the movement of construction generated sediment into the stream corridor. Conservation of Land: There are no significant resource features on this site. Policy Guidelines: The works do not meet the policy guidelines for redevelopment as outlined in the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program; however for the reasons noted above we are prepared to recommend approval of the works.

(TOTAL PLANS: 3) RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The property is located on the valley floor of the Cold Creek, partially within the Regional Storm flood plain. The existing septic system on the subject property has failed, and a court order has been issued ordering the construction of a new septic system on the property. The septic system is currently located partially within the Regional Storm flood plain. The new location of the bed is outside the Regional elevation, however the mantle will extend approximately 5 metres into the Regional Storm flood plain, but no change in grade will occur. Control of Floodinc: The control of flooding will not be affected as existing grades in the floodplain will be maintained. Pollution: The new septic system is located approximately 50 metres from the watercourse. A sediment fence around the construction area will protect the Cold Creek from sediment loading. The existing failed system may be negatively impacting water quality in the Cold Creek. The new system should eliminate any negative impacts that may be occurring. Conservation of Land: The proposed septic system will be located approximately 1 metre from the base of the slope and will not impact the existing stable slope conditions.

The purpose is to place fill and alter a waterway in conjunction with the reconstruction of a headwall and outfall of an existing 300 millimetre storm sewer, within the Fill Regulated Area and Regional Storm flood plain of the West Duffins Creek. The permit will be issued for the period of June 4, 1999 to June 3, 2001. . Letter of Undertaking from Mr. M. T. Wilson, C.E.T., Manager - Road Design, Works Department, ~e Regional Municipality of Durham (Re: Requirement of Department of Fisheries and Oceans Authorization and Requested Drawing Revisions) dated June 1, 1999; June 2, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of reconstructing an eroding headwall and outfall of an existing 300 millimetre diameter storm sewer, outletting directly into the West Duffins Creek at this location. The structure has been undermined mainly due to the fact that the watercourse channel at this point (i.e. the north bridge abutment) has split into two channels which has been caused by the formation of a large island of built-up sediments mid-stream; approximately 40% of the streamflow passes by the north abutment at the location of the headWall/outfall. The entire site is located within the Fill Regulated Area and Regional Storm flood plain of the West Duffins Creek. Control of Flooding: All replaced fill material will match pre-development ground elevations. Therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works. Pollution: The in-stream work area will be isolated by a coffer dam and the site dewatered during construction. Silt fencing will be installed adjacent to the headwall structure to impede the overland migration of sediments from the construction access route. Conservation of -LaRd: -. " The headwall and outfall will be angled in more of a downstream direction; the eroded area on the streambank and within the channel will be protected with 450 millimetre diameter rip-rap, with 50 to 150 millimetre diameter river-run stone placed overtop for fish habitat enhancement. All disturbed areas within the riparian zone will be planted with native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous material. The in-stream work will require an Authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) in accordance with the federal Fisheries Act. The TRCA permit will be held in abeyance until the Authorization has been issued by the DFO.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: June 4, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/99 B350 Proposal: The Town of Richmond Hill is proposing to construct a path and a 21 metre pedestrian bridge crossing of the German Mills Creek. The works are to be located within the flood plain and fill regulated area, and within a constructed Regional Storm conveyance channel. A small park area is located on the north side of the crossing outside of the flood plain where some grading and landscaping is to occur as part of the pathway development. Control of Flooding: Some minor regrading is required to achieve safe grades on the path and approaches to the bridge, as the path and abutments are to be located on the side slopes of the channel. This regrading results in a minor change in the characteristics of flow immediately upstream in the Regional Flood channel; but the change in flood levels do not extend beyond the limits of the channel. Pollution: Sediment fencing is to be installed between the regrading areas and abutments, and the watercourse to prevent the movement of construction generated sediments. Disturbed areas will be seeded to stabilize the areas. No machinery or works will be in the watercourse. The bridge will be craned into place. Conservation of Land: There are no significant natural resource features that will be affected by this proposal. There is little opportunity to enhance the corridor through this reach as significant planting may have an adverse impact on flood levels.

The purpose is to construct a 2100mm Sanitary Sewer under the Rouge River within the Leslie Street road allowance and construct a temporary access shaft and compound on the south side of the Rouge River. June 4, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/99 B352 The permit will be issued for the period of May 14, 1999 to May 13, 2001. . Leslie Street Sewer, Major mackenzie Drive to Elgin Mills Road; prepared by MacViro Consultants Inc.; contract # 99-101; drawing # P-1081-020; Sheet # 45; received June 2, 1999. . Correspondence from MacViro Consultants Inc. re: the Leslie Street Trunck Sanitary Sewer, addressing matters of flood proofing, sediment controls, restoration and setbacks; received June 2, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: In compliance with a master servicing plan undertaken under the Environmental Assessment Act, the Region of York is proposing to construct a sanitary trunk sewer along Leslie Street from south of Major Mackenzie Road to Elgin Mills Road. The majority of the sewer will be tunneled north from a working compound in the Regional Storm flood plain on the south east corner of Leslie Street and Major Mackenzie Road. The alignment of the sewer crosses under the Rouge River on Leslie Street. The Region is trying to co-ordinate the construction of a new culvert at the Rouge and the sewer construction. The culvert proposal is the subject of another permit application which was recommended for approval at the Executive Committee meeting on May 14, 1999. To the south of the tunneling compound the sewer construction will be through a trenching method, 130 metres along the valley floor and up a shallowly sloped portion of the valley side slope. The valley at this site IS mainly grassed with little woody vegetation. Control of Floodino: A temporary working compound for the sewer construction is located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain at the south east corner of Major Mackenzie Road and Leslie Street. The compound is required at a low elevation to facilitate the tunneling procedure. The current proposal indicates that the tunnel opening is within the 5 year flood plain. The contractor is aware of the flood risk and has incorporated a contingency plan if the tunnel opening is flooded. The compound itself will be surrounded by wire farm fencing which will not block flood flows. In addition, the excavated material will not be stockpiled in the flood plain but loaded directly into trucks and taken off site. The tunneling is anticipated to take no more than three months. The compound will then be decommissioned. Although there will be risk of flooding to the tunnel, the works will not impact flood flows through this reach. Pollution: A sediment fence is proposed to encircle the compound and valley access road to control the movement of construction generated sediments off the site. Water from the tunnel will be directed to a pool area or..filter-bag in.the'flooo'plain.before-the water is-allowed to enter the watercourse. Conservation of Land: We are working with the consultant to determine if there is an opportunity to increase the setback of the compound from the watercourse (which is currently shown as 10 metres), and reduce the required working easement for the trenched section of the sewer alignment (which is currently shown as 30 metres) in the valley south of the compound. The riparian area of the watercourse and disturbed slope will be enhanced with native woody vegetation. 8353 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/99 June 4, 1999 At the site of the watercourse crossing, the tunnel will be well below the invert of the stream. Ground water discharge occurs in the watercourse at this location and provides significant fish spawning habitat. Our staff have reviewed the design details of the sewer as well as a geotechnical report and are satisfied that the sewer will not interrupt or divert ground water flow from the stream or adjacent terrestrial habitats. Policv Guidelines: The works are in compliance with the approved Environmental Assessment and the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to Section 4.3 -Infrastructure and Servicing.

The purpose is to alter various tributaries of the Rouge River by extending existing culverts and storm sewers for the reconstruction of Yonge Street from Elgin Mills Road to north of Gamble Road and extend the German Mills Creek culvert by 5.0 metres within the Regional Storm flood plain, as part of the widening of Elgin Mills Road to five lanes west and east of Yonge Street. The permit will be issued for the period of June 4, 1999 to June 3, 2001. . Letter of Undertaking from Leonard K. Ng, P.Eng., Project Manager, Design and Construction, Transportation and Works Department, The Regional Municipality of York (Re: Requirement of Department of Fisheries and Oceans Authorization and Requested Drawing Revisions) dated May 31, 1999; received June 1, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed-i)y-staff-on'the basis'of the'following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of altering two tributaries of the Rouge River by extending culverts and storm sewers for the reconstruction of Yonge Street from Elgin Mills Road to north of Gamble Road. The roadside drainage along this portion of Yonge Street will be transformed from a rural (open ditch) section to an urban (buried storm sewer) section as part of the reconstruction; no additional lanes will be added to the road at this location. June 4, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/99 B354 The other part of the proposal consists of widening Elgin Mills Road to five lanes from Shaftsbury AvenuelRegent Street west of Yonge Street, eastward to Bayview Avenue. Part of this road widening work will necessitate the extension of the German Mills Creek culvert by 5.0 metres. The existing box culvert is located beneath Elgin Mills Road, immediately west of Yonge Street. A portion of the road widening work (around the intersection of Yonge Street and Elgin Mills Road) will occur within the Regional Storm flood plain of the German Mills Creek. An Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) application has been completed for the Elgin Mills road widening work; a Schedule "A" EAA application has been submitted to the Ministry of Environment for the Yonge Street reconstruction project. Under the Schedule "A" process, TRCA comments are incorporated at the permit application stage of the proposal. The entire roadway work area is not presently fill regulated; however, fill lines are proposed to encircle the various watercourses as part of the Authority's on-going Fill Regulation Extension Program. Control of Flooding: The reconstruction of Yonge Street north of Elgin Mills Road will not impact the Regional Storm flood plains of the Rouge River tributaries, as existing grades will be maintained through this reach. Only small variations are required to the existing road profile through the Regional Storm flood plain of the German Mills Creek for the Elgin Mills Road widening. Authority staff are presently investigating any potential impacts to the flood plain as part of these grade changes and as part of the culvert replacements/extensions. If necessary, the proposal will be amended to eliminate any negative hydraulic impacts. Pollution: A combination of silt fencing, rock check dams, and catch basin sediment traps will be installed prior to commencement of road reconstruction. The culvert extension work around the watercourses will be isolated by damming the area and pumping streamflow around the sites. In addition, Stormceptors will be installed within the new storm sewer systems to enhance post-construction water quality. Conservation of Land: There are no valley corridors that will be affected by the proposed works. All disturbed watercourse channels will be rehabilitated with field boulders/river-run stone to enhance fish habitat; disturbed riparian zones will be restored with native woody and herbaceous plant material. Authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) pursuant to the federal Fisheries Act will be required for the culvert extension on Elgin Mills Road and possibly for one of the culvert replacements on Yonge Street. Staff are still determining this. The TRCA permit will be held in abeyance until Authorization has been received from the DFO. , 8355 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/99 June 4, 1999 Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to place fill material and regrade an existing stockpile south of Highland Creek Treatment Plant and East of Beechgrove R-O-W within East Point Park. The permit will be issued for the period of June 4, 1999 to June 3, 2001 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: . Letter of Undertaking from Robert Dobbin of Proctor Redfern agreeing to complete grading and site plans satisfactory to TRCA staff; received June 2, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The City of Toronto is proposing to place up to an estimated 23,000 m3 of fill, partially in a fill regulated area, onto an existing stockpile. This material is being generated from the expansion of the Highland Creek Treatment Plant and is surplus to the project. The objective is to place and grade the material to improve the appearance of an existing unsightly stockpile so it is more amenable to public use. Stockpiling at this location, rather than trucking the material away to another site, will reduce the impacts of trucks traveling through the local community. In addition"jf-required;-this material will-be-readily-available for'the construction of the Port Union Project and/or the boat launch proposal at East Point Park. Control of Floodina: The works are not in the flood plain. There will be no impact on the control of flooding. June 4, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/99 B356 Pollution: Sediment fencing will be installed around the site to prevent the migration of construction generated sediments. Only material meeting the lakefill quality guidelines will be accepted on the site so that it will be usable if required for the Port Union or East Point projects. Conservation of Land: The contractor will place and grade the material in accordance with the grading plan which has been reviewed and approved by Toronto Parks and TRCA staff. The entire area will be seeded, drainage swales stabilized and side slopes graded to stable slope angles. The material will be a minimum of , 30 metres from the bluff edge. There will be no impact to the stability of the bluffs. A buffer strip along the south side of the waterfront trail adjacent to the stockpile will be planted for screening. TRCA will provide an on-site inspector, at cost to the contractor, to monitor the fill quality by random sampling and testing to insure compliance with the lakefill quality guidelines. Policy Guidelines: The site is partially located within the hazard limit as defined under the Provincial Policy Statement for the Great lakes Shoreline. However, this hazard will be addressed by placing the material along the north half of the existing stockpile furthest from the bluff. All other requirements under Section 3.1.3 of the Provincial Policy Statement can be achieved.

CARRIED 8357 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/99 June 4, 1999 BACKGROUND At Meeting #3/99, March 26, 1999, the Authority under Resolution #A47/99 directed staff to enter into an exchange of lands with Vicram Jagdeo/Ginette Pilon the owners of 519 Park Crescent. The owner was proposing to demolish the existing house and rebuild on their exiting lot. Through discussion with the owner, TRCA and Town staff, it had been proposed to re-configure 519 Park Crescent lot shape through an exchange with the Authority whereby the Authority would obtain key open space land along the Pickering waterfront in exchange for small fragment of unused tableland. In view of the sensitivity of dealing with issues of the this nature, it had been proposed to schedule a meeting with residents in the Fairport Area as a part of the processing of the transaction. On March 31, 1999 a meeting was held on site with a number of local residents, Town and TRCA staff. The local residents were opposed to the exchange because of the impact on views. As a result of opposition expressed by the local residents and the potential risks and delays in connection with the approvals required for the land exchange, the owners decided to proceed with this original request to rebuild on their lot and seek the appropriate variances from the Committee of Adjustment. Town staff tabled the land exchange proposal at a Committee of Adjustment Meeting, dated May 5, 1999. The Committee of Adjustment did not support exploring the land exchange any further and approved the variance required for rebuilding on the existing lot. Therefore the land exchange is no longer being considered.

CARRIED June 4. 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/99 8358 BACKGROUND Presently, the Authority has a fleet of 47 vehicles and 290 pieces of equipment. Vehicles and equipment function under the Authority's Vehicle and Equipment Chargeback System. The system functions where each vehicle and equipment is assigned an hourly or kilometre rate for use and all expenditures related to vehicles and equipment, e.g. purchases, fuel, repairs, parts, licenses are charged to the system. The system will pay for the acquisition of replacement vehicles and equipment. The funds received from the disposal of vehicles and equipment will be deposited back to this system. As of January 1, 1999, there is $311,744 in the Vehicle and Equipment Reserve. The 1999 budget is based on maintaining the reserve the same by year end. The Authority has a Vehicle and Equipment Committee consisting of staff who meets formally four times a year. Committee members provide input toward the financial statements, recommendations of acquisition and disposals, safety and clear air initiatives for vehicles and equipment. The acquisition of replacement and disposal of Authority owned vehicles and equipment is included in the 1999 Budget which was adopted at Authority meeting #4/99. The disposal of vehicles and equipment is implemented in accordance with the Authority's Policy and Procedures for Goods and Services and Disposal of Equipment upon the direction of the Executive Committee and Chief Administrative Officer. This report provides the Board with information about the acquisition of replacement and disposal of Authority owned vehicles and equipment in 1999. ANALYSIS In accordance with the Authority's policy, staff (Vehicle and Equipment Committee) has examined the need for replacement of Authority owned vehicles and equipment and new equipment. Vehicles and equipment no longer required in one location are made available to other locations prior to being considered for disposal. Staff has examined the optimal manner for disposal of vehicles and equipment in compliance with the Policies and Procedures for Disposal, Replacement Vehicles Vehicles proposed to be replaced are listed in Table 1. The replacement of vehicles is determined by the condition of the vehicle including the mechanical fitness (cost/benefit of repairs), use of the vehicle, age and mileage or hours of use. The vehicles which are being replaced have high mileage and wear. In the past, replacement vehicle tenders included trade -in which was the most efficient and cost- effective method of disposing of the older vehicles. However, staff has reviewed the trade-in method of disposal and have determined that based on various factors we recommend that our vehicles be disposed through an auction. Staff is under the opinion that we will receive higher prices for our used vehicles and improve the-interest in our new vehicle tenders.

Retaining the services of a fleet management company for vehicle fuel and maintenance system. Moved by: John Adams Seconded by: Lorna Bissell THAT the firm of ARI Financial Services Inc. be retained for a term of 1 year commencing June 4, 1999 to implement a fuel and maintenance management system at a cost of $4.50/month per vehicle. .... . ... . . .... . . . ........ . . .......... . . .... ... . .. . .. . ... . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND The TRCA requires a fuel and maintenance management system for its Authority owned fleet and rental vehicles to improve the administration in controlling fleet fuel and maintenance. A fleet management firm would assist the Authority by becoming the liaison between vehicle operators and the fuel and repair outlets. Each vehicle would be issued an identification card which would be used to pay for fuel and repairs. Each transaction would be tracked and reported much like a national bank credit card. The scope of the fuel and maintenance program would be the following. Fuel Program Presently, all fuel purchases are either made at an outlet where a credit account is set up or through the use of the Authority's Visa Card. The Visa Cards are issued to an individual and purchases are authorized by Managers and Supervisors. Visa logs are submitted each month. Under the new system each vehicle will be issued an identification number and a card. When a fuel purchase is made using the magnetic strip card; the following information is recorded: supplier location, fuel type, gross amount, discount and net purchase amounts. The fuel and maintenance management firm ARI would invoice the Authority for the amount of the purchase and supply the Authority with all the pertinent information for tracking our fuel consumption and irregularities. The ARI cards are accepted at most regional and national fuel outlets. By using the ARI cards, the Authority would receive discounts for fuel at the following locations: Beaver/Penny, Chevron Fast Gas, Federated Co-op, Husky, Irving, Mohawk, Olco, Payless, Shell, Turbo and Ultramar. Maintenance Service Presently, the maintenance and repairs on Authority's vehicles are paid by the Authority's Visa Cards or invoiced through purchase orders. Maintenance is arranged by staff and invoices are authorized by supervisors and managers. Maintenance and repairs are recorded into a database. Because of the limited range of the database information on individual transactions, it is difficult to analyse specific repairs and monitor maintenance work. .. . B363 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/W June 4, 1999 The maintenance component of the ARI card identifies a client's vehicle to suppliers and ARI technicians. When a driver has a mechanical concern, they will have two options. The first option is to refer to the ARI supplier matrix provided in the maintenance card policy wallet. The second option is to call ARl's TMS department, via a toll-free phone number, and consult with a technician for a convenient location and low cost service supplier. Upon arrival' at the service outlet, the driver presents the ARI card and requests the required maintenance. The Authority will establish repair limit of $50 which will be embossed on the service card. If the maintenance exceeds this limit, the supplier must call an ARI technician for authorization to proceed with the work. Prior to issuance of a purchase order, the supplier will have to provide the diagnostic evaluation and a detailed estimate of the work required. ARl's maintenance technician will analyse the request to determine if the suggested repairs are necessary. This analysis includes vehicle verification, cost analysis, available extended and hidden warranty review, replacement policy, and previous work history. If a less expensive alternative is available, the technician is entrusted to pursue it. Repairs covered by warranty, for example, would be recommended to a dealership or supplier to increase savings on parts and labour. If, however, it is not cost effective to move the vehicle due to location, excessive down time, or emergency circumstances, the repair will be authorized and a goodwill adjustment will be pursued. If all this information is found to be acceptable, only then will the authorization be given to proceed with the work. The ARI card is accepted at over 32,000 national and independent suppliers. We will receive discounts for repairs from major national repair centres and suppliers. All the maintenance repairs will be entered chronologically by date and include the required maintenance/ repair and odometer reading. This information creates an excellent database for auditing a vehicle's maintenance history and consolidating billing for each vehicle. It will provide opportunities to track operating costs and frequency of repair. The Authority would set maintenance standards and the Authorities fleet administrator will authorize any repairs estimated to cost more than $1,000. ARI will pay the individual suppliers for the maintenance/repairs and invoice the Authority monthly and provide us with detailed descriptions of the performed work. Analysis The Authority received proposals from three firms which offer the same basic services: PHH Service Card $5.50Nehicle/ Month Newcourt Financial $5.00Nehicle/ Month ARI Financial Services Inc. $4.50Nehicle/ Month ARI is the lowest-price and offers-the-'services which the Authority 'requires. FINANCIAL DETAILS The costs for this service will be funded from the Vehicle and Equipment reserve fund account 700- 01, The average yearly cost will be $3,000.

Moved by: John Adams Seconded by: Lorna Bissell THAT an appropriate location within the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area be offered as one alternative to a pumping station location for the York Region Long Term Water Supply Master Plan via Durham West's Environmental Assessment; THA T staff be directed to negotiate an appropriate compensation package for the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area pumping station site with the Region of York for the Authority's subsequent approval; AND FURTHER THAT the Region of York's project team be so advised. . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND At Meeting #2/98, held on March 27,1998, the Authority adopted Resolution #A44/98: 'THAT the staff report regarding the York Region Long Term Water Supply and YorklDurham Trunk Sewer Master Plans be recewed; THA T a copy of the report be forwarded to the Region of York as the Authority's comments with respect to the proposed projects; AND FURTHER THA T staff be directed to work with the Region of York on subsequent Class and Individual EA to ensure that our policy and program interests are addressed." Through the York Region Long Term Water Supply Master Plan, the attached supply philosophy is being pursued. As part of the year 2031 demand of 214 (MIGD) for York Region, 80 (MIGD) was allocated to the Durham West phase. The attached project status provides an update on the components of the York Region Long Term Water Supply Master Plan. The Region of York proceeded in ,1998 to initiate a full Environmental Assessment for the Durham West phase of the Long Term Water Supply Master Plan with preparation of a Terms of Reference. A first set of public information centres were held in February, 1998 and a second set in September 1998. The Terms of Reference included the attached Infrastructure Corridor Study Area to provide a reasonable range of potential siting/routing opportunities for a raw watermain intake, water treatment plant, storage reservoir, pumping stations and transmission water mains. 8365 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/99 June 4, 1999 In late October 1998, the Authority received the Terms of Reference for comment. Comments were provided to the Ministry of the Environment. Approval of the Terms of Reference is expected in the near future. The attached Durham West project schedule outlines the E.A. process and timing. The Region in currently in the initial E.A. phase with the development of alternatives. Recently, the Authority was approached to consider our land from Frenchman's Bay West to the Rouge River, as alternative sites for the required pumping station along this section of shoreline as part of the Durham West component of the Master Plan. Staffs initial indication was that the only appropriate alternate location to be considered was within Petticoat Creek Conservation Area. Other alternative locations on Authority lands, outside of the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area, are also being explored by the Region and its consulting team. RATIONALE In accordance with the Authority's direction to work with the Region of York on subsequent individual E.A.'s (ie. Durham West phase) to ensure that our policy and program interests are addressed, staffs recommendation is that the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area is the only feasible alternative in this section of the waterfront. Staff will continue to assist in defining a more precise location within our Petticoat Creek lands as one alternative within the Environmental Assessment process. The location selected will have minimal impact on the public use activities and environmental attributes of the conservation area. If the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area alternative is selected, there exists an opportunity to negotiate a beneficial compensation package with the Region of York which could significantly upgrade the public use infrastructure. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff will continue to refine the alternative location within Petticoat Creek and the evaluation process through the environmental assessment and public consultation. Staff will also investigate the priority public use infrastructure improvements required for the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area and the associated valley corridor. At the aPpropriate time, staff will pursue a compensation package with the Region for consideration by the Authority.

Moved by: John Adams Seconded by: Lorna Sissell THAT Jane Clohecy and Sandra Malcic be appointed as Enforcement Officers for the purpose of enforcing Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterway Regulations (Ontario Regulation 158) made by The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, pursuant to Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act .......................................... CARRIED BACKGROUND The Conservation Authorities Act provides for an Authority to appoint Enforcement Officers to enforce its regulations. There are several Authority staff who currently have this designation, both for the purpose of enforcing the Authority's regulation and for authorizing the issuance of permits approved by the Executive Committee under the regulation. RATIONALE Ms. Jane Clohecy and Ms. Sandra Maleic have recently been appointed to the positions of Manager and Senior Planner, respectively, within the Development Services Section. In these positions, they have the responsibility for supervising the Authority's regulation services associated with the review and approval of applications. Their appointment as Enforcement Officers will enable them to authorize the issuance of approvals for the work that they supervise and will allow them to assist with the enforcement of the regulation as required.

CARRIED 8371 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/99 June 4, 1999 BACKGROUND In the past, staff have looked at the Provincial Standing agreement for copiers. The wording of the agreement limited the Authority to stay within its parameters and did not meet our needs. Therefore it was used only as a reference tool. The current agreement addresses the needs of the Authority much more than before. Past copier patterns show that new copiers tend to run into problems at the three year mark. The current agreement has a three year rental plan which will work well for our environment. The service area of the agreement has been upgraded to include replacement machines for poor performance. Options were put in place for upgrading to better equipment within the same company and with no penalty charges. RATIONALE The agreement for the first time combines both new and remanufactured equipment side by side. Because of the excellent pricing received for remanufactured copiers, staff considered this equipment at the beginning of the assessment period. After viewing it and testing it, staff found the display panel was awkward and confusing. They felt that equipment must be in top working order in a location with over 200 different users. As a result, staff have considered new equipment only. Three new copiers on the agreement met the Authority's needs and were tested. As well, our current supplier was invited to quote, provided he stay within the parameters and pricing of the agreement. All copiers ran typical jobs and with the exception of the Toshiba machine, all ran well. The four analog machines tested were: Toshiba #6560 Minolta#EP6001 Panasonic 7760 Kodak In talking to the suppliers, the original agreement had both analog and digital copiers listed. Because of the logistics and comparison problems, the digital copiers were dropped from the final agreement. Therefore the pricing for most digital copiers is much higher than if it fell within the agreement. Staff have however received a rather attractive offer for digital copiers from Minolta. Minolta Quebec provided excellent pricing as part of their provincial agreement. Minolta Canada has extended that pricing to all federal and provincial agencies. To make it fair for the remaining agreement companies, they were all asked to provide pricing for digita! as well as analog copiers. Not all companies were able to provide digital equipment that met our specs. The following companies provided pricing for their digital copiers: Minolta Di520 & Di620 Danka (Sharp AR-405, Kodak 50) Panasonic FP-D350 There were two machines presented by Danka. The Kodak product was rejected because it used old technology. Their display panel was confusing and awkward to use. The Sharp machine though using much newer technology was priced attractively for monthly leasing but the high maintenance cost ruled it out. Also, they could only provide leasing arrangements and not a three year rental plan as the others had. The Panasonic proposal provided a copier that was slower than the rest and would handle a much lower volume than what was needed. June 4, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/99 8372 It was felt that the Sharp and Minolta digital copiers would fit well into our environment. Throughout the process, staff consulted Buyers Lab books and received references from each. All references we talked to praised the digital process and were supportive of going in that direction, Consideration was given to putting off the rental until the end of the year when the provincial agreement for digital copiers was complete. Staff felt that the current copiers were at the end of their life and could not afford to wait. The benefits of digital are higher quality copies, ability to send items direct to the copier, and better finishing capabilities. It should also cut down on the volume to our laser printers as staff will no longer need to make an original, but send it direct to the copier. FINANCIAL DETAILS It has been policy in the past to purchase copiers because of lower interest rates the Authority have been able to receive. Staff charted pricing for an outright purchase, leasing and rental plans. They factored in monthly rates with maintenance costs based upon the 30,000 copies that each machine is currently producing. This gave us an actual monthly cost plus a cost per copy. As Minolta Canada have extended their Quebec provincial pricing to all of Canada, they have made it possible for the Authority to have digital equipment. In comparing analog pricing to digital pricing, the Authority will pay an additional $52 per month for an unconnected copier. For a connected copier it will be an additional $132.

Cost/Copy for .0205 .0228 .0182 .0205 35,000 copies. SUMMARY To overcome problems of poor quality copying, increasing maintenance costs with associated down time and to meet rising quantity requirements, staff is recommending the rental of two new digital copiers - one connected to the network and one stand alone unit. Minolta has set the Authority up with a demonstrator model for a period of one month. This will allow staff to get a better feel for determining the workflow application.

The subject site lies within an industrial subdivision plan on Bren Road in the City of Mississauga. In order to facilitate the construction of the subdivision plan this reach of the West Mimico Creek was channelized to contain the regional storm. The subject property was previously developed as a lumber treatment plant under the control of Bell Canada In the early 19905 the plant was decommissioned due to the extensive contaminated soils on the property. The decommissioning work was approved by the Executive Committee on October 13, 1995 (Permit No. C-95176). The lands were recently purchased by Perma Paving Company who intend to develop the lot with an industrial building. Control of Flooding: Upon the completion of an updated survey and topographical plan it was discovered that the berm on the east side of the property had not been restored to its previous grades, and that the site is now susceptible to flooding under the Regional storm. In order to address this issue, the applicant is seeking permission to reestablish the grades that were present on the site before the decommissioning work was undertaken in 1995. By reestablishing the berm which previously existed on the site, the Regional storm would again be contained within the watercourse channel. Based on original work to facilitate the development of the industrial subdivision plan, and the work approved for the decommissioning of the site which was to reestablished the grades on the site to their original levels, Authority staff support the reconstruction of the berm along the easterly boundary of the property in order to contain the Regional storm within the channel block. There will be no impact on flood storage or hydraulics. Pollution: A sediment control fence will be established along the easterly property line adjacent to the watercourse and extend around the regrading works to the north and south. - . -- - Conservation of Land: There are no significant resource features on the site. The stormwater management plan addresses the matter of quantity. Quality issues will be dealt with through a cash-in-lieu payment to the City of Mississauga, in accordance with the Authority supported City Water Quality Study. The proposed stormwater management system will utilize an existing concrete sluice on the property. There will be no work within the low flow channel of the watercourse. As such, there are no fisheries issues with the application.

Control of Flooding: An updated hydraulic analysis was reviewed and approved by Authority staff demonstrating that there will be no impact on existing hydraulic conditions. Pollution: In order to avoid the risk of sedimentation, the flow through the existing culvert will be maintained while the new culvert is installed under dry conditions. Once the new culvert is installed, flows will be directed into this culvert and the original culvert will be relined and extended, also under dry conditions. . . July 9, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/99 8405 Conservation of Land: The proposal will result in the loss of approximately 24 square metres of habitat and will therefore require compensation for harmful alteration to fish habitat and authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). The culvert works will include the reinstatement of the original substrate along the bottom of the culvert. In addition, planting within the riparian zone will form part of the compensation package being forwarded to DFO for authorization. Staff have reviewed the compensation proposed in a draft letter of intent prepared by the Region and find it to be satisfactory. All instream works will occur within the appropriate construction timing guidelines (July 1 - September 15). As per the agreement with DFO, the permit will not be issued until authorization is received.

The subject site is located within the draft South Etobicoke Special Policy Area. Control of Floodina: Development within this area is subject to the interim approval procedures of the draft South Etobicoke Special Policy Area Under these policies, Regulatory Flood protection will be sought for all new development. Where it is not technically feasible and/or impractical to flood protect to this standard, then a lower level of flood protection, not less than the 350 year flood event, may be allowed. The home will be flood proofed to the Regional level (finished floor elevation of 89.15 metres); the garage will be floodproofed to the 350 year storm (finished floor elevation of 88.54 metres). All fill material will be removed from the site. There will be no impact on flood storage. Pollution: No sedimentation is expected from these works are they are over 60 metres from the watercourse on the opposite side of Bonnyview Drive. Conservation of Land: There are no significant resource features on the site. The landscaping plan for the rear portion of the property calls for the extensive replanting of the slope. The existing wooden steps will be replaced with stone steps and a upper patio will be constructed on a flatter mid portion of the slope. The existing retaining wall on the upper portion of the property will remain. Existing grades on the slope will remain unchanged, As such, there are no slope stability concerns. The extensive plantings proposed will enhance the stability of the slope, as well as habitat, through the increase in vegetative cover. Policy Guidelines: The subject proposal is consistent with the Interim Approval Procedures for the draft South Etobicoke Special Policy Area and Section 4.2.1 Development within Special Policy Areas, of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: As a requirement of sale for a future development on the tableland, the applicant is proposing to excavate contaminated soil and place clean fill as part of site remediation works on the subject property. Borehole tests performed by the project consultant have revealed an assortment of contaminants below grade at this site. The majority of the property is located within the Regional Storm flood plain of the Lower Don River; the entire site of excavation is within the Fill Regulated Area In addition, the flood plain portion of the lands are situated within the Lower Don Special Policy Area. Control of Floodina: The proposed finished grade will match pre-development ground elevations throughout the site of excavation; therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works. Pollution: All contaminated soils and excavation water will be disposed of at a Ministry of Environment (MOE) licensed facility by a MOE-Iicensed disposal company. Sedimentation during construction will be contained within the excavated area throughout the duration of the project. Therefore, silt fencing will not be .needed during construction; the site is located 50 metres from the watercourse. Conservation of Land: The entire site of excavation will occur along a steep valley side slope; the toe-of-slope is coincident with the Bayview Avenue road allowance along the east side of the property. Authority staff is presently reviewing a geotechnical assessment which addresses the proper re-compaction of the clean fill in order to prevent potential instability problems. An inspector from the geotechnical firm will be present throughout the duration of the works to ensure compliance with the site remediation report and the recommended compaction of the clean soil. The site is presently void of any woody vegetation; the entire<iisturbed'area-will-be/hyaroseeded;-eovered<with"erosion'control matting, and planted with native trees.

Site Plan and Cross-Section Drawing prepared by the applicant; received July 5, 1999. . Letter from Phil Allen, Engineering Department, Town of Markham (Re: Permission for Temporary Access Across Town Property) dated June 15, 1999; received July 5, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of constructing an in-ground swimming pool in the backyard of the subject property. Only the extreme westerly portion of the rear yard is located within the Regional Storm flood plain; half of the pool structure will occur within this area of the lands. There is insufficient space in the backyard to locate the proposed pool completely outside the flood plain. The rear yard is enclosed by an existing fence which satisfies the height requirements for swimming pools; no additional fencing is required as part of this proposal. Access to the site will be from 16th Avenue and will cross theJTown.()f-Markham-owned~road--allowance'and -east-portion of valley corridor (written permission from the Town of Markham will be submitted prior to the issuance of a permit). Although detailed flood plain mapping is available for this watercourse, the fill lines are not registered. FiUlines are proposed to be registered as part of the Authority's on-going Fill Regulation Extension Program. 8416 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/99 July 9, 1999 Control of Floodina: The control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works; all existing grades within the Regional Storm flood plain will be maintained. Pollution: Sedimentation is not expected during construction, as the work site is located 50 metres from the watercourse. Conservation of Land: No valley slopes will be impacted by the proposed works. This side of the valley corridor is comprised of a gently sloping landform and is void of any trees or shrubs, as compared to the west valley wall which is steep and well vegetated. In consultation with Town of Markham staff, the applicant has agreed to regenerate the access route with native woody vegetation and revegetate the disturbed ground at this location. All other areas around the proposed swimming pool will be stabilized/revegetated following construction.

Correspondence from Cosburn Patterson Mather Ltd. received July 6, 1999, undertaking to provide final drawings of the new bridge satisfactory to TRCA staff. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: July 9, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/99 6417 Proposal: In order to meet the secondary access requirements for fire safety for a residential development, an existing bridge deck for a driveway crossing over Berczy Creek needs to be replaced. The existing abutments are to remain in place and the new abutments constructed outside of them. The bridge deck will be a few metres longer; but otherwise the dimensions will remain the same. There will be no filling required. There will be no work in the watercourse. Control of Flooding: As the dimensions of the bridge are not changing and there will be no use of fill, there will be no impact on regional flood elevations. Pollution: Sediment fencing will be installed between the watercourse and the site of the new abutments to prevent the movement of sediment into the watercourse. All disturbed areas will be stabilised and restored to existing conditions. Conservation of Land: There will be no work in the watercourse and therefore no impact on fish habitat. The abutments will be accessed from either side of the watercourse. Extensive enhancement of the stream corridor is a requirement of the subdivision approval. There will be no removal of woody vegetation to complete this work and additional plantings are not required. Policy Guidelines: The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing.

The purpose is to place fill-material for,site-grading'-and'Construct1hree-commercial buildings, as well as a storm sewer headwall/outfall, in conjunction with the redevelopment of the site, within the Regional Storm flood plain and Fill Regulated Area of the Rouge River, as well as the Unionville Special Policy Area. The permit will be issued for the period of July 9, 1999 to July 8, 2001. 8418 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/99 July 9, 1999 . Plans prepared by A.M. Candaras Associates Inc., Consulting Engineers, Project 9867, Drawings G-1 and G-2, Revision 1 dated June 18, 1999; received July 5,1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of placing fill material for site grading, construct three commercial buildings and a storm sewer headwall/outfall, as part of the redevelopment of this site. The existing commercial business (Annable Nurseries) will be replaced with commercial food industry uses (Le. grocery store and restaurants). The entire property is located within the Regional Storm flood plain and Fill Regulated Area of the Rouge River, as well as within the Unionville Special Policy Area (SPA). Control of Flooding: The present elevation of this property is substantially lower (1.0 metre) than the neighbouring redeveloped commercial properties. The applicant must raise the level of the property to achieve proper gradients for tying into underground municipal services and meeting the minimum entrance driveway slope for vehicular ingress/egress, especially to avoid problems during the winter months. Accordingly, 4,500 cubic metres of fill must be imported within the flood plain to accomplish the desired site grading. This is the last remaining property within the flood plain to be re-developed along the Highway No. 7 business corridor. Prior to this area of the Town receiving SPA status, a Two-Zone approach to re- development was adopted by the municipality. The criteria under the Two-Zone approach required that the lands be raised in elevation to the level of the 100 year storm and that proposed buildings be flood proofed to the Regional Storm flood elevation. At the time of the Two-Zone approach approval, a hydraulic impact analysis was completed which reflected filling the lands which were identified for re-development in the flood plain and determining the impacts caused by the proposed fill placement in this regard. Based on this previous hydraulic analysis and the fact that the filling of the subject lands conforms to the fill placed on the adjacent properties (under the previous Two- Zone designation), the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works. In addition, the proposed buildings will be flood proofed to the Regional Storm flood elevation. Pollution: A combination of silt fencing, rock check dams, and catchbasin sediment traps will be installed prior to construction. In addition, post-development water quality will be enhanced by the installation of an oil/grit separator within the proposed storm sewer system. July 9, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/99 6419 Conservation of Land: Through staffs review of the related Rezoning and Site Plan Control applications, a 10 metre structural setback was established from the bank of the Rouge River. This setback is consistent with other building setbacks along this stream corridor reach. The 10 metre setback area will be left in private ownership; however, Authority staff requested that a restrictive covenant be registered on- title to the lands, which will only allow for passive recreational and conservation-type uses within this portion of the property. Accordingly, the setback area will be planted with native vegetation. The proposed storm sewer outfall channel will not extend into the channel; instead, the stormflow will be spread across a vegetated area prior to outletting into the watercourse. The disturbed outfall area will also be planted with native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plant material. No significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works. The subject parcel extends to the south of the Rouge River. This portion of the site is within the hydraulic floodway and has not been recognized for redevelopment through SPA policies. As part of the approval of the related planning applications, this well vegetated portion of the subject lands south of the watercourse will be conveyed to the municipality for preservation of its ecological integrity. Policv Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.2.1 - Development and Redevelopment/I ntensification Within Established Communities/Highly Urbanized Areas - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, which includes SPA's and Two-Zone designations.

The existing bridges are removed and replaced each year at the beginning and end of the golf season. The bridges are to be located at the same locations. The abutments will be set back from the edge of the watercourse by a few metres. The opening under the bridge will remain approximately the same. There will be no change in grade or placement of fill. The riparian area is currently well covered with woody vegetation. Control of Flooding: As the opening under the bridge will remain the same and there will be no changes in grade, the control of flooding will not be affected. Pollution: The area of the abutments will be encircled by sediment fencing to prevent the migration of sediment to the watercourse. To access the abutment sites, machinery will use an existing ford crossing. The number of crossing will be limited to 4 or 5 times there fore minimizing the possibility of introducing sediment or other pollutants to the watercourse. Conservation of Land: The stream banks at the site of the bridges and the ford crossing are stable. Construction access through the riparian area will generally follow the existing cart path and will be fenced. All vegetation that is removed or damaged will be replaced with native woody riparian vegetation. There will be no work within the low flow channel. As an existing ford is to be used by construction vehicles, and the number of crossing will be limited, there will be no impact on fish habitat from this work. Policv Guidelines: The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to Section 4.2.2 (H) - Existing Resource-based Uses.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of excavating and placing fill material for lot grading purposes, as part of the construction of a new two storey residential dwelling. The new detached house will replace an existing bungalow on the property. Only the eastern half of the property is located within the Fill Regulated Area. Control of Floodinq: No part of the subject lands are located within the Regional Storm flood plain; therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works. Pollution: Silt fencing will be installed along the top-of-bank of the gently sloping valley wall to impede the overland migration of construction-generated sediments. Conservation of Land: The existing bungalow is located at the top-of-bank of the well-defined, extensively vegetated valley corridor, with a walk-out from the basement cut into the top of the slope. The valley wall is three to four metres in height and there are no visible signs of instability along the slope face. The new two storey dwelling is on the tableland and will be setback 0.5 metres from the top-of-bank at the closest point (one bay window projection only), 3.0 metres in all other areas along the rear wall, and 9.0 metres at the furthest point from the valley corridor (Le. the rear wall of the attached garage). The project consultant has shifted the new house location as close to Stockdale Road as possible; the new house site will be consistent with the existing structural setbacks found along this reach of the valley corridor. Authority staff is satisfied with the proposed house location and feels that the new structure will not negatively impact the long term stability of the valley wall, nor impact neighbouring properties. The existing vegetation along the top-of-bank and slope will be undisturbed; all other disturbed and filled areas on the tableland portion of the property will be stabilized/revegetated following construction. B422 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/99 July 9, 1999 POliCY Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.2.2(D) - Replacement Structures - and Section 4.2.2(E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of replacing an existing, deteriorating 0.5 metre diameter culvert for an entrance driveway to this vacant lot within a previously approved residential subdivision. The new culvert will be installed at the same location as the old structure and is needed to provide access for construction vehicles to a proposed house and private sewage disposal system site east of the channel. The subject watercourse contains permanent flow from an artesian outflow at the north end of this property; the stream then enters an existing on-stream pond located on the neighbouring property to the sOl:lth..-The.site is'not'-presently'fill'1"egulated;'however,'fill'lines are proposed to encircle the stream corridor as part of the Authority's on-going Fill Regulation Extension Program. Control of Flooding: As the size of the culvert is not changing, the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works. No part of the property i~ situated within a Regional Storm flood plain. July 9, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/99 8423 Pollution: Silt fencing will be installed adjacent to the watercourse to impede the overland migration of construction-generated sediments for the proposed lot grading. A rock check dam will be placed within the watercourse downstream of the culvert to reduce sedimentation of the neighbouring on- stream pond. In-stream sedimentation will be minimal, since the culvert installation work will only take one hour (+ \-) to complete. Conservation of Land: The subject property is comprised of tableland; there are no valley slopes at this site. With the exception of the downstream end, the watercourse channel is presently in a natural, revegetated state. Although there is no in-situ fish habitat within the watercourse; a vegetated buffer of at least five (5) metres will be established/maintained on both sides of the stream to enhance the terrestrial habitat along the stream corridor reach. The buffer will be left in an unmaintained state (Le. no mowing); all disturbed areas around the new residential development will be seeded or sodded following construction. Policv Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 3.3 - Policies And Procedures For Identifying Watercourses and Alterations - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The subject lot is part of a larger parcel of land acquired from Lee Campbell on March 4, 1999. This property backs onto the Palgrave Dam and Reservoir which is the focus of the Palgrave Mill Pond Community Action Site. A concept restoration plan has been endorsed by the Palgrave Mill Pond Community Action"Site 'sub-committee and wnile'tl1e'fin'a1 design has not been completed, it has been recognized that public ownership of the riparian shoreline is advantageous for achieving the objective of the restoration project. Staff had several discussions with the Campbells regarding the acquisition of the rear portion of the subject property. They were not interested in selling just a portion of the lot and therefore, the entire lot was purchased with the intent that the tableland portion be re-sold by the Authority. 8426 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/99 July 9, 1999 The public tender for the Birch Avenue lot was advertised along with a residential lot known.as 91 Riverside Drive, City of Toronto (formerly City of North York), in the Toronto Star on Saturday, June 5, 1999 and Wednesday, June 9, 1999. Twenty-five information packages were sent out for the two lots. Staff has reviewed the tender and are recommending we do not accept the offer received as it is below the appraised value range established by an independent appraisal obtained by the Authority.

WORK PROGRAM To report on the status of groundwater management within our jurisdiction and .the recommended action items. Moved by: John Adams Seconded by: Gerri Lynn O'Connor THAT staff continue to consult with our partners, other agencies and groups regarding the status of groundwater management within our jurisdiction and to facilitate the completion of Phase One of a Work Program for developing a Groundwater Management Strategy for York, Durham and Peel Regions; AND FURTHER THAT staff solicit a request for proposals to complete Phase One. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND Groundwater management strategies and actions have been, and will continue to be, developed to address issues on a watershed basis. This is a necessary component of an effective and comprehensive watershed management strategy due to the linkages between surface and ground waters. Earlier in 1999, the TRCA and LSRCA approached the staff at the Regionai Municipality of York and discussed the idea of developing a groundwater strategy that reflected the needs of the Region and the Conservation Authority. York Region staff supported the initiative to develop a groundwater strategy. The TRCA also retained Terraprobe, a geotechnical engineering firm, to develop a workplan that would set the stage for a groundwater management strategy. The workplan, completed in April 1999, outlined'an initial sttldy 10 be"conducted in two 'Phases: Phase One consists of the compilation of existing policy information; development of overall planning goals and objectives for the study; and an inventory of existing data sources. This step allows for a more detailed evaluation of the amount of information which is currently available from other databases and an accurate estimate of the requirements for the second phase of the study. Two focused workshops with the stakeholders would be required to complete the first phase. 8436 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/99 July 9, 1999 Phase Two would consist of the completion of the necessary data base. From this information, overall inventory constraint maps would be produced, and the actual groundwater management strategy would be developed. On June 23,1999, staff met with representatives from the Regions of York, Durham and Peel, staff from CLOCA, LSRCA and the Ministry of the Environment to receive their comments regarding the above noted workplan. The response at the staff level was very positive and an interest was expressed to make minor revisions to the workplan and immediately move forward with Phase One of the project. In addition, the Geological Survey of Canada has expressed an interest in being involved in the project. RATIONALE There is a wealth of information available regarding the geology and hydrogeology within the TRCA jurisdiction. Much of this information is available from public sources including the Ministry of the Environment's well records and permits to take water, topographic, geologic and hydrogeologic maps, regional and municipal planning and engineering studies, gauging data and various consultants reports for private land developments. Initial discussions indicate that a significant amount of this information has been compiled into various GIS databases. This important first step will be to interview each of the agencies involved to confirm the availability of information already compiled in the GIS databases. Once this task is completed, then the extent of any data gaps can be determined. All the information would then be blended into one overall GIS database. Overall goals and objectives for the groundwater management strategy will be developed through an open workshop with the primary stakeholders (Provincial Government Agencies, local and regional governments and Conservation Authorities). The workshop would be directed towards identifying the primary issues with respect to groundwater management from each of the stakeholder's perspective. Prior to conducting the workshop, a detailed questionnaire will be sent to each of the stakeholders. This information would be compiled and summarized prior to the workshop to provide direction and focus. At the end of the workshop, clear and concise goals and objectives will be outlined for the strategy and various existing groundwater management policy and strategies for both provincial and municipal government agencies will be compiled. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff will proceed to solicit proposals for the completion of Phase One of a Groundwater Management Strategy, review those proposals, detail the basis for funding and continue to discuss the development of the strategy and pursue funding opportunities with the Regions of York, Durham and Peel. Staff will report back to the Executive Committee. FINANCIAL DETAILS The development of groundwater strategy goals and objectives (Phase One) for York, Durham and Peel Regions will'have'an~upset'limit'oft$500;000;"Funding-1s'available<within the Remedial Action Plan budgets for Toronto, Peel and York and funding will be sought from Durham Region.

Moved by: John Adams Seconded by: 'r Donna-Patterson THAT the staff report with respect to a preliminary alternative drainage option proposed by the City of Toronto staff to put stormwater into the Massey Creek from the Wishing Well stormwater management facility located north of Highway 401, west of Pharmacy Avenue, be received for Information ............................................. CARRIED 8438 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/99 July 9, 1999 BACKGROUND At the Watershed Management Advisory Board meeting #3/99, the following resolution was adopted: NEW BUSINESS RES. #049/99 Moved By: Irene Jones Seconded By: David Barrow That a staff report be brought to the next Executive Committee Meeting scheduled for July 9, 1999, providing infonnation whh respect to a preliminary proposal to pipe flows south of the 401, from the proposed Hydro lands development north of Highway 401, into Massey Creek. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. CARRIED The Wishing Well Community in the City of Toronto, located north of Highway 401, south of Sheppard Avenue, between Victoria Park and Warden Avenues, has a history of periodic basement flooding conditions. The flooding condition is caused by surcharging of storm sewers during high intensity storms. There is an existing, dry, quantity stormwater management facility located in the Wishing Well Park, north of Highway 401, west of Pharmacy Avenue. Stormwater from this facility is currently piped on the north side of Highway 401 in a westerly direction, where water ultimately discharges to the east Don River. City of Toronto staff, in efforts of mitigating or minimizing this municipal flooding condition, is considering options to either deflect or reroute stormwater from the existing Wishing Well stormwater management facility. City staff are considering several options; one of which is to reopen an existing stopped up storm sewer pipe under Highway 401 which would allow stormwater to be diverted during certain storm events into the Massey Creek. City of Toronto engineering staff initiated disc~ssions with TRCA technical staff as to the feasibility of considering alternative drainage options for the Wishing Well area including the option of allowing stormwater to flow under Highway 401 and into Massey Creek under certain storm events. Presently the headwater of the Massey Creek is the south limit of Highway 401. In order to determine whether this proposal is feasible, studies would be required to determine whether a revised drainage scheme would negatively impact downstream flooding and erosion conditions in Massey Creek. As well, whether there would be a detrimental affect on the Terraview Willowfield Concept site which is presently being constructed to improve the water quality and quantity of the Massey Creek watershed would need to be determined. The options proposed by City staff are preliminary in nature with no approval for any of the options at this time. TRCA.tecRnicaJ-staff.has'offered to'assisHhe City1n'a5sessing-the-viability of alternative drainage options. , July 9. 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/99 B439 There was concern raised by the ratepayers and Councillors within the Ward as to whether the proposed Graywood development within the Hydro Corridor lands, west of Warden Avenue would aggravate the basement flooding condition by providing additional stormwater to the existing system. The City of Toronto has identified that the current storm sewer system has adequate capacity to handle stormwater from the Graywood development at predevelopment rates. The Graywood development must store stormwater through on-site detention measures to control post development to predevelopment rates. Authority staff, through conditions of draft plan approval, have requested the opportunity to review the proposed stormwater management scheme in order to ensure that stormwater discharging from the Graywood site matches predevelopment conditions in the post development scenario. CONCLUSION The discussions to date between City and TRCA staff have been preliminary in nature and are a result of efforts being made to mitigate an existing municipal flooding condition. No approvals will be given by TRCA staff to modify the existing drainage scheme to the Massey Creek from north of Highway 401 through the reopening of an existing pipe unless it is proven that there will be no negative affect to the Terraview Willowfield Concept site and will not negatively impact downstream flooding or erosion within the Massy Creek Watershed.

July 9. 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/99 6441 RES.#B116/99 - MAPLE SYRUP To tender out the packaging of maple syrup products for TRCA's Sugarbush Maple Syrup Festival. Moved by: John Adams Seconded by: Donna Patterson THAT the contract for supply of pre-packaged maple syrup be awarded to Robinson's Maple Products involving minimum total estimated expenditures of approximately $100,000. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND The TRCA has offered maple syrup demonstrations since 1968. In the last 31 years, the program has grown considerably, and we now offer Sugarbush activities at Bruce's Mill Conservation Area and the Kortright Centre for Conservation. Black Creek Pioneer Village also sells packaged maple syrup, and maple syrup products in it's Gift Shop. In the past, Bruce's Mill has purchased bulk maple syrup through a tender process from a supplier, which was then packaged by TRCA staff for sale at Bruce's Mill, Kortright and Black Creek. Product sales are a large component of the Sugarbush Maple Syrup Festival and in 1999 staff bottled more than 9,000 Iitres of syrup. RATIONALE Staff were asked to prepare a cost analysis of the maple syrup program to assess current practices, and explore other options. Pre-packaged syrup, labelled with our own TRCA label was priced with a few of our current suppliers. The supplier's prices were then compared to our current expenditures, including packaging, labels and labour. Staff concluded that some savings would be recognised from the purchase of pre-packaged product. In addition to the budget savings, staff hope to improve the quality of the product presentation. Whereas TRCA staff have been hand bottling and labelling the syrup, most large producers bottle and label by machine. Staff are confident that an outside supplier can deliver bottled syrup to the three retail outlets in a much shorter time as well. In May, a tender package was sent to five Ontario Maple Syrup Produ'cers and we received two quotes. Both quotes are very similar in price, from companies in good standing, and we have dealt with both companies for numerous years. Staff recommend the tender be awarded to Robinson's Maple Products who are a member in good standing with the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers' Association. This company is family owned and operated, and has successfully bid on our bulk syrup tender for the last eight years.

Status report on the legal costs associated with the Ontario Municipal Board Motion (December '98), Leave to Appeal OMB Decision on the Motion, Ontario Municipal Board Hearing held in February 1999 and the Leave to Appeal the OMB Decision of April 20, 1999. Moved by: Michael Di Biase Seconded by: John Adams THAT the status report regarding the legal costs related to the Crooked Creek Golf Course proposal since November of 1998, be received for information ............... CARRIED BACKGROUND At the Executive Committee meeting #5/99, the following resolution was adopted: NEW BUSINESS RES. #B 103/99 Moved by: Michael Di Biase Seconded by: Lorna Bissell THA T staff bring a report to Executive Committee Meeting #6/99, scheduled forJuly 9, 1999, outlining the legal fees of the mCA forthe original appeal, Ontario Municipal Board Hearing and continuing appeal process for the Crooked Creek Golf Course Proposal (1045501 Ontario Limited/Toya Investments Limited) ... CARRIED In November of 1990, a Rezoning and Site Plan application for a golf course on the subject property was submitted to the City of Vaughan. At that time the City of Vaughan had in place limited environmental policies contained in Amendment 4 and 6. Since 1990, the City of Vaughan, TRCA and MNR worked with the applicant to redesign the golf course proposal minimizing the impacts on the environmental features and functions. Several changes were also made in the planning policies. The City of Vaughan adopted Official Plan Amendment 400 which prohibits golf courses within ESA's, however, the existing zoning which permits golf course uses within the floodplain remained. The Region of York adopted its Official Plan which also seeks to protect the environmental significant lands through the Greenland policies and the Province of Ontario adopted Provincial Policies Statements which calls for the protection of natural heritage and features from incompatible development. . , , By September of 1995, a revised concept for the golf course development was submitted by the applicant which successfully minimized the impacts. Key features of Concept 10 were: . no development proposed east of the East Humber River, eliminating all previously proposed crossings and erosion control remedial works; . all holes removed from the floodplain with the exception of the one fairway to hole # 2, however no flood control remedial works would be necessary; , July 9, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/99 8445 . no disturbance of existing riparian habitat with the exception of the fairway for hole # 2 at which minimal vegetation would be removed closer than 25m - 30m from the watercourse; . extensive riparian enhancement planting would occur throughout the property; . all holes would be set back from the erosion impact zone adjacent to the top of the valley; . some removal of vegetation within the ESA would occur, however the feature of the ESA would not be destroyed; . the valleylands not forming part of the golf course would be zoned for open space uses and would expressly prohibit golf courses. To finalize the settlement, a holding by-law was required to be enacted by the City of Vaughan. The by-law was never enacted as the necessary reference plans were not submitted by the applicant. However, several correspondences and discussions were held which resulted in an agreement on the form of the by-law, the settlement agreement, and the necessary requirements for permits required to implement the proposal. This settlement was approved by the Executive Committee on November 3,1995. The City of Vaughan also endorsed the settlement in October of 1995 as did MNR around the same time. In March of 1998, the Authority suddenly received from the applicant a new concept plan and a letter to the OMB requesting that a hearing be scheduled as soon as possible in order to consider a new concept. The new plan was significantly different from the agreed upon Concept 10. The concept would result in extensive flood control, erosion and slope stabilization works which would result in significant environmental and hazard management impacts. The proposal was very similar, in terms of impact, to the previous concept opposed to by the Authority. A hearing was to be scheduled in 1999. The Authority staff, with the approval of the Executive on October of 1998, presented a Motion to the OMB in December of 1998, requesting that the OMB enforce the settlement agreement which had been agreed to by the applicant and therefore not proceed with the hearing on the new proposal. RA TI ONALE The legal costs outlined below detail the expenses associated with four key components of this legal action associated with the golf course proposal since November of 1998: 1. Motion to the OMB regarding the enforcement of the Settlement agreement which had been agreed to by the applicant. The Watershed Management Advisory Board on October 23, 1998, approved the Motion to the OMB. Costs associated with this action were $ 8,835.00 2. Leave to Appeal the OMB decision on the Settlement motion, including the actual cost of being granted the Leave to Appeal to the Divisional Court and the estimated cost of arguing the Appeal at the Divisional Court. The Executive Committee on January 15, 1999, approved .the.-Leave to'Appeal.on-the OMB motion of'settlement'on the basis that it would protect the principle that reasonable settlements should be upheld. The Divisional Court has granted the appeal, and it is expected that a court date may be set in the Fall of 1999. Actual and estimated costs associated with this action are $6,616.00 B446 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/99 July 9, 1999 3. Cost of the OMB Hearing related to the new proposal submitted by the applicant. Staff undertook significant negotiation prior to the OMB hearing in order develop a new concept that would both meet the applicant's objective of achieving a 27 hole executive golf course design as well as meet the TRCA policy objective which had been achieved in the previous settlement agreement. The Executive Committee on January 29, 1999, directed that the Authority continue with its objection to the proposed golf course at the Ontario Municipal Board. The legal costs associated with this 3 week hearing were $82,045.00. 4. Leave to Appeal the Decision of OMB on the golf course proposal, including the estimated cost of being granted the Leave to Appeal to the Divisional Court and the estimated cost of arguing the Appeal at the Divisional Court. The Executive Committee on June 4, 1999 and the Authority on June 25, 1999, directed that staff proceed with a Leave to Appeal to the Divisional Court on the Ontario Municipal Board decision. The estimated legal cost of this action is $6,500. Given the policy implications of the golf course proposal and no other settlement agreement, in spite of extensive negotiations throughout the process, the Executive Committee determined that there was no other option than to proceed with this legal action. The Authority's legal costs are directly related to the applicant's withdrawal from the previous settlement. Total legal costs associated with this proposal since November of 1998 is estimated to be $104,000. To date the Authority has spent $94,500. The remaining costs are $9,500. FINANCIAL DETAILS Depending on the outcome of the Leave to Appeals and the results of further negotiations with the applicant on a new settlement agreement, there may be an opportunity to recover some of these legal costs. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE As directed by the Authority at its meeting of June 25, 1999, staff are continuing discussions with the applicant in an effort to reach a new settlement agreement which will minimize the environmental and hazard management impacts.

CARRIED RES.#B121 /99 - LOWER DON LANDS FLOOD REMEDIAL PROJECT Funding support for the implementation of a joint study to facilitate flood protection of the Lower Don Lands(West Don Lands). To authorize the contribution of a maximum of $25,000 and not more than 20% of the cost of a joint study between the City of Toronto, the Ontario Realty Corporation and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to.facilitate flood protection of the Lower Don Lands(see attached map). Moved by: John Adams Seconded by: Donna Patterson IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority contribute towards the funding of a detailed study which will outline the steps required to facilitate flood protection of thet.ower Don-Lands"inclading'the"West"Don"Lands (former"Ataratiri site) in the City of Toronto; THAT the contribution to the study be not more than $25,000 and 20% of the overall cost of the study; AND FURTHER THAT the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's contribution be contingent upon the availability of funding from the City of Toronto and the Ontario Realty Corporation ........................................................ CARRIED B448 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/99 July 9. 1999 BACKGROUND In June 1991 at Executive Meeting #4, 1991, the Authority's Executive Committee adopted a preferred scheme for flood protection for the Lower Don Lands including the West Don Lands (former Ataritirj site). The scheme had been developed conceptually by Marshall Macklin Monaghan as part of the options for flood protection of the former Ataratiri Project. In June 1996, TRCA staff in consultation with City of Toronto staff, presented to the Ontario Realty Corporation, owners of the West Don Lands, a draft terms of reference for a study to assess the adopted flood protection scheme proposed to provide regional flood protection to the West Don Lands. The study would evaluate soil and ground water conditions and identify actions that should be taken to integrate flood protection design and environmental protection. The various components of the soil and ground water management and flood protection plans would have to be assessed in detail with respect to environmental impact, technical feasibility, cost, construction methodology and site remediation. In addition the study would look at preliminary designs and costing for the selected flood, soil/ground water remediation. Stormwater management requirements would also be reviewed in detail. Essentially, the study would lay the framework that would allow for the development of the West Don Lands while also allowing for flood protection of adjacent flood prone lands within the Lower Don. Recently the Ontario Realty Corporation requested that the TRCA staff and the City of Toronto assist in the finalization of the terms of reference, sit as a partner on a steering committee to oversee implementation of the requirements of the terms of reference and contribute financially towards the completion of the required study. The ORC has agreed to fund 40% of the cost. The City of Toronto will be dealing with a staff recommendation to fund 40% in the near future. RATIONALE The study once completed will outline the detailed steps needed to be undertaken in order to flood protect the Lower Don Lands including the West Don lands. This would have a significant benefit as the study would set the framework for the removal of an existing flood prone community currently defined as a Special Policy Area, and would also set the framework for environmental improvements adjacent to the Don River. In addition the study would also recognize the objectives of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust to regenerate the West Don Lands. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding is available within the budget approved for the dredging of the Keating Channel at the mouth of the Don River. The ongoing dredging of the Keating Channel is an integral part of flood protection strategies for the Lower Don. NEXT STEPS Once all funds are allocated a steering committee will be formed with representatives from the TRCA, the City -of, Toronto,-the- Ontario.Realty~Corporation<>and' when '-necessary the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The steering committee will oversee the hiring of a consultant to undertake the study. It is anticipated that the study would be completed in approximately 6 months from the date of consultant selection and prior to November 1999.

L4A 4H4 26 July 1999 Dear Chair and Board members: Re: ~e Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and the L~brary /Pool ProJect in South Park, Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville I am writing to request your direct intervention in a multi-million dollar project which the Council of the Town of Wh~tchurch-Stouffville is planning to build ~ an area near your Conservation Author~ty land along the Stouffville creek, south of Main Street in the old village of Stouffville. I believe that it ~s important for your Authority to view this project as a whole, and not, for example, as a single application to dump fill. Possibly your Authority has been told that an environmental assessment for the project, or parts thereof, is not required. I intend to present you with infonnation which, I believe, \olill prove otherwise. **************************** l. On 18 September 1998 the Stouffville Secondary Plan \oms approved by the Ontario Munic~pal Board. 2. Almost inconceivably, apparently no one involved happened to notice that the r~d Use Concept sect~on had not been included. So the res~dents of Whitchurch- Stouffv~lle do not have the environmental protection of the Land Use Concept section to use in their, to date, unsuccessful efforts to communicate w~th their Council. -- -- 3. Just weeks after the (X\ffi approved the Stouffville Secondary Plan (minus the Land Use Concept), Council of the Town of Wh~tchurch-Stouffville decided to cons~der building a joint Library/Pool canplex south of Main Street, ln an area designated as South Park, and on land which, to date, is not owned by the Town. I do not know if a final map of the site is yet available for the public. 4. AccesS to the proposed site, at least for construction purposes, was orig~nally to be through a heritage area of the old village of Stouffville. This, not unexpectedly, caused the developnent of a residents group to protect their community from Council's onslaught. .... ./2 B454 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 August 13, 1999 - 2 - 5. Access, the current term is "access road", but this may change later, is now apparently going to involve lands owned or controlled by your Authorlty. Although the Tender for this so-called "access road" has been awarded and the by-law to sign the Tender has been passed, it is not known if the water. sewer. lights, sidewalks. roadway, etc. are going to be permanent fixtures on your land. 6. I am encloslng tw::l excerpts fran a lcx::al newspapo...r, The Stouffville Sun, to give you a brief glimpse at the project. One is the hrst of the maps on the project which have been made available to the public. The other i tan deals with a Public Information Meeting on the project held on 22 June 1999. 7. The project is - estimated at up to $5 million, but lt may well go over budget; - to be located on a 5% Parkland site of about 17 acres; - without roads or facilities - lights, water, sewer, sidewalks, parking, access, wlth a questionable water supply in view of the regular sumner water restrictions in Stouffville, etc.; . - in an area now designated as Rural. but lying i1rmediately south of a quiet and long-established residential area; - with an estimated 100-150 parking spots anticipated - resulting .iri the draining" of water- fran" the' parkin1j' area into Stouffvllle Creek (Conservation Authorlty); - possibly located near a flood plain area; - likely to have a serious impact on the existing residential areas during and after the construction phase and to result ln in=eased traffic and noise, as well as safety conslderations. on gUlet residentlal streets; - expected to have a serlOUS and long-term negative ~ct on the economic centre of Stouffville along Main Street. 8. The Conservation Authorities Act does not appear to have much ]urisdlction over the problems listed above. However. the objects of a Conservauon Authority are set out in Section 20 of the Act as follows: "20. The objects of an authority are to establish and undertake, ln the area over which it has jurlsdiction. a program designed to further the conservation. restoration. developnent and -managtlll.::,ul of natural resources" other than gas, oil. coal and minerals". . . .. ./3 August 13, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 8455 - 3 - 9. The environmental responsibilities of the Ministry of the Environment are set out in the Env~ronmental Assessment Act. It seems to me almost inconceivable that the Councll of the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville can embark on this major Library! Pool Project without sutmitting an environmental assessment to the Ministry of the Envlronment. Environment, under the Environmental Assessment Act, refers to air. land or water; plant and animal life, lncluding human life; the social, econamlC, and cultural conditions that influence the life of humans or a community; any bUllding, structure, machine or other device or thing made by humans; any solid: liquid gas, odour, heat, sound. vibration or radiation resulting dlrectly or indlrectly from human activities. or any part or canbination of the foregoing and the interrelationships between any two or more of thEm. The purpose of the Environmental Assessment Act "is the betterment of the people of the whole or any part of Ontarl0 by providing for the protection. conservation, and Wlse management in Ontario of the environment". 10. se what we have, on one side, is the Council of the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville rushing ahead to build a Library/Pool Canplex in an area which appears to be environmentally sensltive. 11. On the other side. residents of the Town of \Yhitchurd1-Stouffville, singly or in groups, have attempted to have Council listen to and acknowledge their concerns. 12. On yet another slde, there is the Stouffvi11e Secondary Plan, which lS of little use because the Land Use Concept section was "inadvertently" amltted frem it. Letters were sent out in June 1999. On 13 July 1999 Council was informed that the Land Use Concept had been "inadvertently" auitted. On that date. Council. quietly and WlthOUt any public discussion. passed a motion to amend the Stouffville Secondary Plan by including this section. Council did not resolve to hold the Llbrary/Pool Canplex in abeyance untll the Stouffville Secondary Plan had been completed and approved by the Ontario Municipal Board. SO. at the present time. lt appears that Council's Llbrary/Pool Canplex does not have to be 1n conformity with anything. 13. On yet another side is the Environmental Assessment Act which lS not yet providing for the protection. conservation and Wlse management of the local environment because an environmental assessment of Council's multi-million dollar South Park proJect has not been undertaken. **************************************** Again I request the direct lnterventlon of you, Mr. Chair. and Board members. I also request that your- Authority does..not' becc:me a partner "in''Ol1e ur-more'segments of Council's Library/Pool Complex - until you are in full possession of all the details of thlS project - and until an environmental assessment of tlus canplex undertaking has been completed.

Renovations to the Black Creek Pioneer Village Visitors Centre to accommodate the offices of the Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB). Moved by: Ron Moeser Seconded by: Lorna Bissell THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the project for the renovation of the Visitors Centre, Black Creek Pioneer Village, to accommodate the offices of the Greater Toronto Services Board be approved; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to implement the project as expeditiously as possible. AMENDMENT RES.#B126/99 Moved by: Ron Moeser Seconded by: Lorna Bissell THAT the following paragraph be inserted after the first paragraph of the main motion: THAT staff negotiate with the Greater Toronto Services Board in an attempt to reverse the terms to reflect 3 years with a 2 year option. THE AMENDMENT WAS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND The Greater Toronto Services Board has been accommodated at Black Creek Pioneer Village since 1997. The Board leases office space for 5 staff plus the Chair of the GTSB, Alan Tonks. The GTSB also purchased various services from the TRCA including meeting room space, computer support and printing. This relationship has been mutually beneficial. The GTSB gets the space it needs in a central location in the GTA, complete with food and other support services as required (and all the ambience of Black Creek Pioneer Village). The TRCA has a paying tenant which provides public profile and Chairman Tonks also serves as Reeve of Black Creek Pioneer Village. The GTSB has been{ormali~d'6l1d anticipates-expansioftof-its staff-complement and activities. To accommodate the GTSB, staff has explored a number of options and has concluded that the most practical solution is to renovate the Visitors centre to create the office space needed by the GTSB. The GTSB has indicated their desire to continue to use space at BCPV. On June 25th, the Authority approved the award of a contract to Gordon Cheney, the architect who designed the Visitor Centre to prepare draft drawings for a possible renovation. Staff has reviewed the proposed options with the GTSB and agreed on a recommendation. , August 13, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 B469 RATIONALE The Visitors Centre is a multi functional building which accommodates visitors, school groups, tour groups, weddings, banquets and business meetings (including those of the TRCA). Space is used for retail activities, administration, artifact storage, food preparation and exhibits. There is no suitable space available to accommodate the GTSB needs. Staff is recommending that approximately 1500 square feet be constructed on the upper level of the Visitor Centre on the existing patio. An additional 1000 square feet of existing space will be renovated. Drawings will be available at the meeting. This space will include a reception area, meeting room, 5 closed offices and about 5 work stations. A shared photo copy area will be created and a storage area on the lower level. FINANCIAL DETAILS The GTSB has agreed to a draft lease of 2 plus 3 years. The lease rate will be $17 per square foot. Details will have to worked out but the lease will produce revenue of about $42,500 annually. About $8 per sq. ft. will cover maintenance and utilities. The balance, about $9/ sq. ft., (about $22,500 annually) will be available to repay the reserves for the initial investment. Estimated costs of the renovation is $200,000. The Authority would pay this cost from reserves. Assuming the lease can be extended for another 5 years, the capital cost can be repaid over approximately 10 years. Additional financial details will be available when the architects drawings are completed. In the event that the GTSB was unable or unwilling to continue the lease after the initial lease period, the Authority would have the option of using the space itself or leasing to another organization. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Project detail including drawings and estimated costs will be available at the Executive Meeting on August 13th. The project requires approval of the Authority. The normal tender process will be followed in terms of the award of the construction contracts. Various building permit and other approvals will be required. Assuming the Authority approves the project on August 24th, it is hoped that contracts can be let and the work completed in time for occupancy in early January, 2000.

The Authority is in receipt of a request, to consider disposing of a parcel of Authority-owned tableland at 11741 Huntington Road, City. of Vaughan in the Humber River Watershed. Moved by: Donna Patterson Seconded by: Mike Tzekas THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Authority owned tableland at 11741 Huntington Road, City Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, be retained for conservation purposes; AND FURTHER THAT staff advise Mr. and Mrs. Svihra that a portion of their property is located within the Authority's Master Plan for Acquisition for the Humber River Watershed and that the Authority's long term objective is to acquire that portion of their property. . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND The Members of the Executive Committee at meeting #4/99 held on May 14, 1999 adopted resolution #B78/99. THA T the potential disposal of a parcel of tableland at 11741 Huntington Road, City Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, be referred to the Authority staff for review in accordance with established Authority policies; AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action. The Authority is in receipt of a proposal from Ruth Grant Svihra, the owner of adjacent land at 11801 Huntington Road, to consider conveying to them Authority-owned tableland together with two dwellings and out buildings at 11741 Huntington Road which her mother has been renting from the Authority for 25 years. In exchange, she would convey to the Authority part of the valley land portion of her property. The subject lands are adjacent to the main Humber River valley system. The lands have not been assessed for potential inclusion in the Authority's inventory of Environmentally Significant Areas (ESA). however, as part of the Nashville Resource Management Tract, this area contributes to the overall connectivity and provides an opportunity for increased habitat. Legacy, the Humber River Watershed Strategy document, sets out objective and opportunities in -. the Interest'of the watershed fiealtR:-lncluded'as--an objective ior1he -entire watershed and the Main Humber Subwatershed, is to protect and regenerate terrestrial habitats. Staff feel that large parcels of Authority owned lands provide the best opportunity to meet this objective. Although this site does not currently contain significant vegetation, staff encourage its protection. The location of this parcel, within the Resource Management Tract, between the main Humber River and a smaller tributary to the east, provides an excellent opportunity to increase the size of the existing forest blocks, optimize forest cover configuration and reconnect woodland habitats.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville .plaAs-te 'coFlstruct a-peolllibrary-complex in a new district park located immediately south of Burkholder Street west of Stouffville Creek. Access to the site will be via a driveway off Burkholder Street through the existing Town park. A portion of the area for the proposed access is owned by the TRCA and the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville has requested the Authority transfer the subject parcel to the Town, 8474 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 August 13, 1999 The subject parcel was one of a number of parcels the TRCA acquired from the Town of Whitchurch- Stouffville in July 1980, for a nominal sum of $2.00, to facilitate the design and construction of the Stouffville Channel Improvements Project (1981). Technical staff have reviewed the request and have advised that the subject parcel was utilized to convey drainage through a swale across this parcel from adjacent areas and behind an upstream dyked area. The swale conveys drainage around an existing ball diamond and into the Creek. The proposal from the Town relocates the swale along the east side of the roadway and continues to maintain the original drainage function and as a result staff are prepared to recommend the sale of the subject parcel to the Town. A portion of the access area is within an area regulated by the TRCA. The Authority's technical staff has reviewed the technical details of the proposed access road construction and are satisfied. A report in connection with the application for permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 is also being submitted for consideration by the Executive Committee. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved In completing this transaction.

The purpose is to construct a detached accessory building to house household hazardous waste. The permit will be issued for the period of August 13, 1999 to August 12, 2001 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: . Redline Revision, Sketch Showing Location of New Household Hazardous Waste Storage Building; prepared by applicant; received July 7, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The City of Toronto currently has a household hazardous waste drop off centre at the Transfer Station at 400 Commissioners Street in the Lower Don Special Policy Area. This centre is made up of four separate sheds. They are proposing to decommission the existing facility and construct a single new 11 m.x 9 m-bl:lildiR\\J{cHeplace it. . , - . Control of Flooding: Both the existing facility and the new facility are located within the flood plain. An appropriate new site at this location outside of the flood plain, that does not interfere with the existing Transfer Station uses, and is accessible to the public, is not available. Therefore the proposed new site is located in the flood plain; however, it is subject to shallower flooding (maximum 0.32 metres) than the current site and the building is to be flood proofed to the Regional flood elevation of 77.35 m CGD. 8496 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 August 13. 1999 Pollution: The proposed storage facility will consolidate the hazardous waste in one building. This building is being designed with a spills containment system which meets the current criteria of the Ministry of Energy and Environment. As the building will be flood proofed, there will be little risk of pollution from this site. Conservation of Land: There are no significant natural resource features on this site. Policv Guidelines: With respect to public safety, the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program refers to the 1998 Implementation Guidelines for the Flood Plain Planning Policy Statement.

The ultimate facility will also include development on the south side of the Rouge River Valley. The total land parcel is approximately 800 ha and includes the Rouge River Stream CorridOr. The valley is well defined through some sections and iII-defined in others. All the works are proposed on the tableland. The site was previously used for agriculture and is devoid of significant woody vegetation. --- ..- Site Plan approval pursuant to the Planning Act is required for Phase 1 of the development. Official Plan and Zoning Amendments will be required for the phase on the south side of the Rouge River. The site plan has not been finalized. However, staff are working with representatives from ISM and Town of Markham staff to ensure that the Authority's interests are met through the final design. In the interim, they are anxious to proceed with the preparation of the north portion of the site. , August 13, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 8511 Control of Floodinq: The top soil stripping that extends into the flood plain is to allow for the construction of a temporary sediment control pond and to provide construction access for the future construction of the buildings and parking lots that will be located outside of the flood plain. The pond is to be excavated only, and all excavated material will be removed from the flood plain. Because of this the control of flooding will not be affected. Pollution: Sediment fencing will be installed and the sediment control pond will be constructed prior to the earth works to prevent the movement of constructed generated sediments from the construction site. Conservation of Land: The geotechnical investigations for this site have not yet been completed. Based on preliminary investigations, staff have required that the pond be set back a minimum of 15 metres from the top of the valley side slope and that there be no top soil stripping within 10 metres of the valley side slope. Following completion of the geotechnical investigations, staff will finalize these setback requirements in the context of the site plan and the ultimate storm water management pond facility designs. The outlet of the sediment control pond extends part way down the valley slope to a flat area where flow is dispersed into the flood plain. This will provide additional removal of sediments and prevent erosion at the outlet. The site is to be stabilized with seed following completion of the pond construction. The proponent is proposing an extensive renaturalization of the valley corridor with the ultimate design of the development. The works will not impact fish habitat.

The purpose is to alter a waterway by extending the east and west sides of an existing concrete box culvert 1.21 metres and 1.8 1 metres, respectively, within an intermittent tributary of the Stouffville Creek (Duffin Creek Watershed). The permit will be issued for the period of August 13, 1999 to August 12, 2001 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: . Site Plan and Cross-section Detail Drawing prepared by the Town of Markham Roads Department; received May 25, 1999. . Dry Flume Stream Crossing Detail submitted by the applicant; received July 30, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Prooosal: The proposal consists of extending the east and west sides of an existing concrete box culvert 1 .21 metres and 1.81 metres, respectively, within an intermittent tributary of the Stouffville Creek. The culvert extensions are required in order to eliminate a traffic safety hazard caused by the narrowing of Reesor Road above the culvert. The roadway at this location will be widened to eliminate the existing hazard. The site is not presently fill regulated; due to the intermittent nature of the watercourse (flow occurs following rainfall only) and lack of a defined stream corridor, fill lines are not proposed as part of the Authority's on-going Fill Regulation Extension Program. Control of Floodina: The subject watercourse drains an upstream area of less than 125 hectares. The control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works, as the proposed extensions will match the size of the existing box culvert. Pollution: The dry flume method will be used to control sedimentation during construction. The dry flume method consists of installing a smaller diameter corrugated steel pipe (CSP) within the existing concrete box culvert and coffer dams are placed at the upstream and downstream ends of the CSP. The area between the coffer dams is dewatered so that the proposed works can be completed under dry conditions; stream-f1ow-Wm be mair'ilain'ecnhrbug'h lne -CSP. - . Conservation of Land: Since there is no in-situ fish habitat within the watercourse at this location, authorization for the proposed works is not required from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

In order to access this site for construction, and as phase one of the project, a driveway, 155 metres in total length, is proposed as an extension to Franklin Street south from Main Street, for 110 m through the flood plain. In order to do the work the Town must remove a ball diamond and part of an active use park. A portion of the proposed road is to be located on a small parcel of land (12 m x 126 m) currently owned by the Conservation Authority. A ditch which conveys water from behind a flood protection berm to the north of Burkholder Street runs across these lands and was constructed as part of the overall flood protection program in Stouffville in the 1970's. The Town is proposing to reconstruct the ditch to the east of the new road that will maintain the current function. Negotiations on the disposition of the Authority lands is underway. Details on this will be brought forward under a separate report. Control of Flooding: Of the 110 metres of driveway through the flood plain, 70 metres will be constructed at existing grade. The grades through the remaining 40 metres are required to rise to meet the grade at Burkholder Street. The maximum depth of flooding is 0.5 metres. Our staff are satisfied that the proposal will not impact the control of flooding. In addition, safe access as defin'ed under the Flood Plain Planning Policy Statement Implementation Guidelines is met. The existing ditch is to be relocated to the east of the new road and constructed at a shallow grade with a 0.75 m wide invert and 6:1 side slopes. This design will provide for water quality treatment and quantity control for the drainage area flowing to it and will result in improved treatment of storm water over the existing ditch design. Pollution: Check dams will be placed in the new ditch and sediment fencing will be installed adjacent to the watercourse to prevent the transport of sediment to the watercourse. All exposed areas will be top- soiled and seeded as soon as possible following the construction. Conservation of Land: Currently the affected area is open and used as active park. The exiting ditch flows intermittently and is not considered a watercourse, although there is a feature as it approaches Stouffville Creek. The ditch will be planted with native vegetation to enhance the water quality treatment. In addition the riparian area where the ditch approaches the watercourse will be planted with woody vegetation.

The north pond is located within the Regional Storm flood plain and Fill Regulated Area of the Carruthers Creek. The south pond and the area of proposed lot grading are in the fill regulated area but outside of the flood plain. Control of Flooding: Some small pockets of land within the Regional Storm flood plain will be filled in as part of the construction of the stormwater management facilities. An excavated area is proposed to compensate for the Ioss-inilood .storage caused by the stormwater management pond construction. The excavated area will be designed as a natural wetland feature. Staff has reviewed the cut and fill calculations submitted by the project consultant and finds them to be satisfactory. Therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works. 8524 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 August 13, 1999 Pollution: The stormwater management ponds have been designed for water quantity/quality control and will be used as sediment basins during construction of the phased development. A combination of silt fencing, catchbasin sediment traps, and rock check dams will also be used throughout the disturbed areas. The proposed storm sewer outfalls from the ponds will disperse the treated runoff from the subdivision across the flood plain area. Conservation of Land: The development limit for the residential subdivision is situated along the western edge of the Carruthers Creek Forest Environmentally Significant Area (ESA No. 113). Tree protection fencing will be installed along the rear property boundaries of the lots abutting the ESA. Some edge species of the ESA (White birch) will be transplanted to other areas of the site. The stormwater management ponds and the wetland feature created to compensate for flood storage loss will be planted with native trees, shrubs, herbaceous, emergent, and submergent vegetation.

The storm pond is proposed to outlet to a drainage swale which empties into Miller Creek, a tributary of Duffins Creek. The location of the pond block is within the flood plain and crosses the current alignment of Miller Creek. As approved through the Environmental Master Drainage Plan and Functional Servicing Plan for Area A6, Neighbourhood 2 (Ajax). Miller Creek and the associated flood plain is proposed to be relocated to the east. The design and realignment of Miller Creek will be the subject of a future permit application. As an interim measure, the pond will be only partially built out so as to avoid the watercourse. The interim pond will service 23 of the total 59 hectares (Phase 1) that will be treated by the final pond. Control of Flooding: The interim pond will be located within the current flood plain limits; but will be outside of the 5 year storm limit and more than 70 metres from the watercourse. The ultimate pond will be located outside of the 100 year flood limit of Miller Creek as relocated. The pond will be entirely excavated and there will be no fill placed in the flood plain. As such, the control of flooding will not be affected. As outlined in the Environmental Master Drainage Plan, storm water control is not required for runoff beyond the 25 mm storm event. Pollution: This site has been chosen as a demonstration site in the Sediment Awareness Project being undertaken by this Authority and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. A detailed erosion control program has been developed which includes Jnterceptor swales, impermeable membranes, different styles of sediment control fencing and temporary sediment control ponds for use during the earth works program, The interim and ultimate storm pond will also be used for sediment control. The performance of the sediment controls will be monitored by an outside consultant to establish if the works are sufficient or if additional works or a revised approach is required. An impermeable cloth will be installed between the interim pond site and the watercourse to direct runoff into interceptor swales and back into the pond feature.

CFN: 30488 Application #: 182/99/AJAX Report Prepared by: Mary Asselstine, extension 304 For information contact: Mary Asselstine, extension 304 Date: July 12,1999 TOWN OF MARKHAM 8.1.36 TOWN OF MARKHAM To alter a waterway, construct in a flood plain, place fill within a regulated area on Lot 1, Concession 7, (19Th Avenue Between McCowan Road And Hwy. 48), in the Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Town Of Markham. The purpose is to remove a damaged section of corrugated steel pipe from the south side of the 19th Avenue crossing over the Little Rouge River and replace it with a new section 1.5 metres longer, within the Fill Regulated Area and Regional Storm flood plain. The permit will be issued for the period of August 13, 1999 to August 12, 2001. . Letter of Undertaking from Mike Brady, Street Services - Roads Department, Town of Markham (Re: Acknowledgement of DFO Authorization prior to release of TRCA permit) dated and received on July 23, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of replacing a damaged section of corrugated steel pipe (CSP) and replacing it with a section that is 1.5 metres longer. The CSP extension would occur on the south side of the 19th Avenue crossing over the Little Rouge River. The extension is needed to alleviate a minor erosion problem occurring at the over-steepened embankment on the south side of the road, in addition to replacin~-thi9-deterierated'section of-the--GSP.-The""1ffitire"siteis located within the Regional Storm flood plain and Fill Regulated Area of the Little Rouge River. Control of Flooding: The proposed fill placement will not raise the existing road profile; the CSP extension will match the size of the existing culvert. Therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works. August 13, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 8527 Pollution: The dry flume method will be used to control sedimentation during construction. The dry flume method consists of installing a smaller diameter CSP within the existing culvert and coffer dams are placed at the upstream and downstream ends of the smaller CSP. The area between the coffer dams is dewatered so that the proposed works can be completed under dry conditions; stream flow will be maintained through the smaller CSP. Conservation of Land: The longer culvert extension will be an open foot section in order to minimize disturbance of the streambed; however, fish habitat will be altered and disrupted as a result of the proposed works. Therefore, Authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans pursuant to the federal Fisheries Act will be required for this project. The TRCA permit will be held in abeyance until the Authorization has been received. All disturbed portions of riparian zone will be revegetated with native trees, shrubs, and ground covers following construction, Additional plantings will occur downstream of the site to compensate for the alteration and disruption of fish habitat. Policv Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 8528 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 August 13, 1999 Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a new house in a stream corridor on an existing lot of record in the Lake Wilcox Community. The entire site is within a fill regulated area and a portion of the rear and front yard of the lot are in the flood plain of the East Humber River. Control of Flooding: In order to create a building envelop outside of the flood plain, a cut and fill balance is being proposed, removing material from the rear yard and adding material to the front yard. Our technical staff have reviewed this proposal and are satisfied that there will be no flood plain impacts up or downstream. Pollution: Sediment fencing will be installed along the rear of the property to prevent the migration of construction generated sediments from entering the watercourse. Conservation of Land: There are no significant natural resource features on this site. Policy Guidelines: This site is located within an area formerly designated as a Flood Damage Centre. However, it was not included within the new Special Policy Area designation. Historically, under the old designation, filling occurred in the flood plain through this area, several lots were created, and houses were built. There are currently only three lots remaining on this street for future residential development. The balanced cut and fill proposal elevates the building site outside of the flood plain. Because of this the proposal meets the criteria for new development as set out in the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to Section 4.2.2 (G) - Infilling.

The purpose is to construct a new boardwalk, trail and foot bridge crossing and replace three other culverted trail crossings with foot bridges. The permit will be issued for the period of August 13, 1999 to August 12,2001. August 13, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 8529 . Red-line Revised Boardwalk Cross Section Plans and Construction Access Through Wetland Detail Drawing prepared by The Town of Richmond Hill Parks Design and Construction Services Department dated July 1999; received August 11, 1999. . Sedimentation Fence Installation Detail Drawing prepared by The Town of Richmond Hill Parks Design and Construction Services Department dated July 1999; received July 19, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: ProDosal: The Town of Richmond Hill is proposing to upgrade the trail systems through three different natural park areas. The first area is in the Don River valley south of McCallum Drive east of Bathurst Street (Stockade Trail). A new boardwalk is proposed to link the existing asphalt trail to a new trail connecting to Stockdale Crescent. The boardwalk crosses a wet meadow area and the watercourse. The trail is then proposed to extend up a gently sloped, wooded valley side slope to the road. The final alignment of the latter section through the woods has not yet been finalized. The second site (Richvale Greenway Trail) is north of the first site within the same valley corridor. Three at grade culverted crossings are proposed to be replaced by removing the culverts and placing a wooden footbridge at the same elevation. The third site (Loyal Blue Trail) is on the Rouge River system south of Devonsleigh Blvd. and east of Yorkland St. Two culverts are proposed to be removed and will be replaced with an arched prefabricated bridge. Control of Floodino: The boardwalk will allow the passage of flood flows and will not affect the limits of the Regional Storm flood plain. The portion of new trail will be constructed at grade. The remaining crossing replacements will open up the area under the bridges and improve the c~nveyance of flows. There will be no impact on the control of flooding. Pollution: For the Stockdale Trail boardwalk, sediment fencing will be installed along the construction access through the wet meadow and adjacent to the water course. At the Richvale Greenway Trail, the crossing sites are very small and the culvert removals will take only a few hours.-In-addition,most-of4he-materiaJ to'be-removed-ar-ound the'culverts is riprap stone. Therefore the amount of sediment moving downstream from this work will be relatively small and staff are not requesting any additional sediment controls for this site. The crossing replacement at Loyal Blue Trail is a larger project; however, the watercourse currently has very little flow. If there is measurable flow during the removal of the culverts, then the watercourse will be dammed and pumped around the work site so that the work will be undertaken "in the dry". 8530 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 August 13, 1999 Conservation of Land: The boardwalk construction for the new Stockdale trail will be constructed by hand or in the winter to minimize impacts on the wet meadow vegetation. The watercourse will not be impacted. The trail alignment through the wooded area has not been finalized. This alignment will be finalized in the field by Town and TRCA staff prior to construction. The watercourses at both the Richvale Greenway and Loyal Blue Trail sites provide on-site and downstream cold water fish habitat. Currently, the culverts are imbedded slightly below the invert of the watercourse and are surrounded by riprap stone. The stone will be removed from the stream invert but will remain in place on the banks, limiting the disturbance and providing stream bank protection under the bridges. The stream invert will be seeded with small stone and allowed to find its natural configuration. The proposed works are considered a fish habitat improvement. Staff are requiring that the work be undertaken within the construction window for cold water fisheries and that sediment transport be minimized. Under these conditions the impacts on fish habitat are mitigated and an Authorization pursuant to the Federal Fisheries Act is not required. Policv Guidelines: These works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to Section 4.2.2 (H) - Existing Resource-based Uses.

CARRIED , Aug~st13. 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 8531 BACKGROUND On February 28, 1996, the Authority expropriated land or interest in land from certain property owners required to carry out the Revised Project for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park (March, 1993). Under Resolution #A22/99 adopted on January 29, 1999, the members of the Authority approved of a settlement of compensation with 707985 Ontario Inc. (Cruise Motel). This transaction was subsequently completed leaving outstanding settlements to be resolved with Proudfoot Motels Limited (Young); Red Carpet Inns Limited (Vona); A. Edward Gadzala; V. E. Gadzala Holdings Limited; and 412264 Ontario Limited (Gadzala); and Robert Hess (see attached map). Since the date of expropriation the Authority solicitor Paul Henry of Chappell, Bushell, Stewart has been attempting to resolve outstanding issues with all remaining claimants including the four parcels forming a part of the Gadzala holdings. In December 1997 the City of Toronto (former City of Etobicoke) expropriated the balance of two of the Gadzala Holdings where partial takings were earlier expropriated by the Authority. On July 21, 1999, Gadzala served a notice of arbitration and statement of claim on the City of Toronto. Additional information together with a copy of a confidential letter from the Authority solicitor will be available at the meeting.

Moved by: Michael Di Biase Seconded by: Jim McMaster THAT the proposal by Greenland International Consulting Inc. to undertake the monitoring for the Sediment Awareness demonstration sites be approved. The total cost estimate to undertake the monitoring of this project to the end of 1999 is $13,610 (includes initial start-up labour cost, equipment costs, data collection, flow and water quality monitoring and monthly reporting at Markham and Ajax sites and a final year-end report) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND For many years, there have been significant concerns regarding the amount of sediment generated from construction sites, particularly in the sensitive headwater streams in the Great Lakes Basin. A number of efforts have been undertaken by the TRCA and others to address this problem. The adequacy of the planning process, the appropriate selection of sediment control best management practices, and the maintenance and effectiveness of these temporary devices through the servicing and building phases, have been identified as potential issues in sediment and erosion management. In 1994, the Metropolitan Toronto and Region RAP document "Clean Waters, Clear Choices" recommended: . Better enforcement of existing guidelines for control of sediment loss from construction activities; . The creation of better education programs for the development industry and the establishment of improved methods of erosion and sediment control. Similar recommendations were also made in "Forty Steps to a New Don", "Legacy" and "A Call to Action". In 1998, the Don Watershed Regeneration Council (Don Council) identified through its work plan the need to refocus business, community, municipal and agency attention on reducing sediment loads to the Don. At Meeting #6/98, the Don Council adopted a four-point program to address sediment control: 1. Technology, Techniques and Standards Workshop 2. Planning Process and Protocol Workshop 3. .- Education and Technology'ffansfer 4. Demonstration Sites B534 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 August 13, 1999 Since that time, a number of specific actions have been undertaken, including: . formation of a stakeholder's committee including representatives of the Urban Development Institute, the Ministries of Natural Resources and the Environment, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the City of Vaughan, the Towns of Markham, Richmond Hill and Ajax, the Don Watershed Regeneration Council, and the TRCA; . agreement to proceed with a short issue paper - 'The Case for Change - A New Process for Sediment Control in Developing Areas'; . identification of three demonstration sites to test new technologies and opportunities to improve the planning and maintenance for sediment and erosion control; . development of a funding partnership including direct and in-kind resources from a number of stakeholders including the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The Don Council recognized that the issue of sediment generation is common to all the watersheds . within the TRCA's jurisdiction. The headwaters of the Don lie within the City of Vaughan and the Towns of Markham and Richmond Hill which also contain portions of the headwaters of the Humber and the Rouge Rivers. Representatives of the Humber Watershed Alliance and the Rouge Park Alliance were consulted and indicated their support for this Sediment Awareness Project. RATIONALE The criteria established for the selection of the demonstration sites included that, if possible, the sites be chosen early in the development process to ensure that the entire servicing and building phases are covered in the demonstration. Monitoring actual development sites will: provide first-hand knowledge for the regulatory agencies working in conjunction with developers and builders; identify the need for industry and agency education; and provide the opportunity to test an enhanced planning process currently being developed in conjunction with municipal staff. At this time, TRCA and Greenland staff have developed a monitoring protocol and three demonstration sites have been chosen: one each in the City of Vaughan, and the Towns of Markham and Ajax. The monitoring protocol identifies eight components which include visual inspections on a regular basis for all sites, and detailed physical monitoring of one site where new technologies are being tested. The eight monitoring components are: visual; flow and water quality; temperature; habitat assessment; benthic invertebrates; fish community; amphibians; and biomonitoring. TRCA staff will be undertaking all components, 'in-house, except for the visual and flow and water quality monitoring components. From the outset of this project it was identified that the developmenVconsulting industry must become active participants of the project recognizing the issue and the potential improvements to sediment control. - -. . August 13, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 117/99 B535 Greenland International Consulting Inc. have expressed an interest in carrying out the visual and flow and water quality monitoring components. The stakeholder's committee support Greenland's proposal for the following reasons. Greenland staff have provided technical advice from the earliest stages of this project and have assisted in developing the monitoring protocol. Greenland staff are uniquely qualified since they have many years of related, practical experience and can provide superior technical skills to the project. Greenland recently completed a sediment research study for the City of Mississauga of which TRCA staff participated. The objectives of the Mississauga study are similar to those of the Sediment Awareness Study and illustrate Greenland's support for this initiative. Greenland also recently completed the Storm Water Management Facilffy Sediment Maintenance Guide which will assist municipalities and other facility operators monitor and manage accumulated sediments in storm water facilities. Greenland's cost is estimated to be at or below TRCA's direct cost for the following reasons. Greenland will provide a highly qualified engineer to carry out the applicable monitoring components. The rate charged for labour will be set at a technician's rate thereby reducing the overall cost. In addition, Greenland has offered to provide, free of charge, water qualiW and flow monitoring equipment for the duration of the project. Costs for additional start-up materials and installation supplies will be provided by Greenland at cost. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE It is anticipated that one to two years of monitoring will be carried out to assess the sediment management approaches used at each site. The length of the study will be dependent on funding and the rate of housing sales within the development sites. Specific details of the work to be carried out by Greenland include: . locate visual monitoring stations at key locations within the site . establish reference markers to measure aggradation and erosion . design field form to be used during site visits . construct and install weirs, housing units and monitoring equipment to monitor flow and water quality . obtain appropriate permit applications and approvals for work to be carried out . undertake site visits on a weekly basis and after all rainfall events . document all site visits and provide digital photographs . download flow and water quality data from monitoring equipment . prepare monthly progress and final reports . future monitoring needs will be assessed after the first year of the study; if needed, a subsequent report will be brought forward to the Executive Committee at that time FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds are available to initiate this project through special provisions of the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans and through the 1999/2000 Toronto RAP funding. Additional funds will be sought from the Rouge Park Alliance and others, The TRCA will provide limited funding from its watershed strategy--implementation-budgets-and-the-assignment cHechnical staff to manage the project.

The Waterfront Trail Master Plan for the Pickering Waterfront is identified on Figure 1. The Trail Master Plan identifies a continuous waterfront trail in close proximity to Lake Ontario, complemented by the Frenchman's Bay Interpretive Trail around Frenchman's Bay. The key elements of the Waterfront Trail Master Plan include: 8540 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 August 13, 1999 . Completing the Pickering Waterfront Trail . Ensuring an Ecologically Sustainable Waterfront and Bay . Improving Waterfront Recreational Opportunities . Improving the Entrance to Frenchman's Bay and Addressing the Problem of Sedimentation . Linking the East and West Spits of Frenchman's Bay . Promoting Tourism on the Waterfront . Celebrating History, Heritage and the Arts The Town of Pickering has endorsed two projects to implement the Waterfront Trail Master Plan. The first project includes the West Pickering Trail alignment, which will provide the gateway to the Rouge Park and Pickering's Waterfront Trail. The second project involves the Town of Pickering's Millennium Trail Project on the east side of Frenchman's Bay at the foot of Liverpool Road. The Millennium Trail Project represents the Town's Millennium Project to the Millennium Bureau of Canada The Millennium Bureau of Canada provides funding to community oriented activities that explore the community's natural and cultural heritage, celebrate their achievements and leave a lasting legacy to the community. The vision for the Pickering Waterfront is to "create B distinct sense of Place. " The Millennium Trail Project creates this vision through interpretive trails, boardwalks, signage, artwork and environmental improvements that explore and celebrate the achievements and provides a lasting legacy of the Pickering Waterfront. 1. TRAIL MASTER PLAN FOR THE PICKERING WATERFRONT The Waterfront Trail Master Plan identifies a concept plan for the Pickering Waterfront which includes a multi-access trail route, boardwalks, public amenity areas, and vegetation restoration areas along the waterfront. The Town of Pickering through Resolution #103/99 approved funding for the planning, design and implementation of the western component of the Waterfront Trail. Pickering Council and the community have expressed a desire that the trail alignment be located entirely along the Lake Ontario Shoreline. This would entail a valley corridor crossing of Petticoat Creek, and the acquisition of key waterfront properties east of Petticoat Creek in the Fairport Community. The trail alignment begins east of the Rouge River, where it will provide the gateway to the Rouge Park and a north south corridor linkage through to the Oak Ridges Moraine. The trail then continues eastward along Bella Vista Drive and Rodd Avenue to the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area. Through the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area, the trail follows the Lake Ontario Shoreline through to Park Crescent. -~e.west.Pickering-lrail--will-be ~1.6 'km-l6flg,'3.5-m-wide -and designed to accommodate multi-access users. Continuing east to Westshore Boulevard, the trail utilizes existing municipal streets. August 13, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 B541 Authority staff is working with the Town of Pickering to develop a preliminary design and implementation schedule for an alignment located entirely along the waterfront. This work includes assessing the environmental impacts, shoreline hazards, and design requirements for a crossing at the mouth of the Petticoat Creek, and methods for acquiring public access along the waterfront where the trail alignment utilizes existing municipal streets. 2. MILLENNIUM TRAIL PROJECT The Millennium Trail Project demonstrates through artistic and cultural expression, that the Pickering Waterfront is a "distinct sense of place'~ This is accomplished by marking the millennium with a series of projects along the waterfront that explore its natural and cultural heritage, promotes a sustainable environment, celebrates its achievements and promotes interest in the community. The Millennium Trail Project (see Figure 1) contains site specific projects which include: . Interpretive signage and artwork along the Millennium Trail . Environmental Improvements . Millennium Square and Boardwalk . Hydro Marsh Boardwalk and Interpretive Lookout . Frenchman's Bay West Park The Town of Pickering through Resolution #96/99 approved the Millennium Trail Project at an estimated cost of 2.6 million and has requested in writing that the Authority partner in its Project by contributing $200,000. The Authority's financial contribution would go toward environmental improvements and the construction of the Hydro Marsh Boardwalk and Interpretive Lookout. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS The need to take immediate action to protect and restore the ecological features and functions of the Frenchman's Bay Watershed has been identified. Due to its significant natural resources and strategic location, Frenchman's Bay provides valuable wildlife habitat and unique tourism and recreation opportunities for area residents and visitors. Environmental Improvements include on-site restoration activities that would improve water quality, enhance the ecological features and functions of the wetl~d areas and improve fish habitat. These works include: . Naturalization Planting, which consists of planting caliper trees, shrub massing, native grasses and wildflower gardens in Frenchman's Bay West Park; . North shore stabilization, which would consist of 150m of bioengineering treatment along Hydro Marsh; . Enhancement of fish habitats in Hydro Marsh and Frenchman's Bay. 8542 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 August 13, 1999 MILLENNIUM SQUARE AND MILLENNIUM BOARDWALK The Millennium Square is located at the foot of Uverpool Road. The Millennium Square will be approximately sixty by thirty-five metres and will provide the gateway to the Millennium Trail. The Millennium Square is composed of four functional areas which include, the main square, the boardwalk terminus, the outdoor cafe area and the future water taxi dock area The Millennium Square will be the focal point for community events and gatherings. This proposal also includes shoreline protection works and the provision for a water taxi dock area Through the development of the Pickering Waterfront Plan, the Mayor's Task Force recognized the need to provide a linkage between the east and west spits of Frenchman's Bay. The Task Force vision was to have a seasonal "pontoon boat" to ferry trail users between the Millennium Square and Frenchman's Bay West Park. The water taxi dock will consist of floating docks and will not function as a boat ramp. HYDRO MARSH BOARDWALK AND INTERPRETIVE LOOKOUT In order to integrate Hydro Marsh with the Millennium Square a raised boardwalk is proposed along the eastern spit of Frenchman's Bay. The boardwalk includes an interpretive lookout centre at the south east corner of the Hydro Marsh. This component of the trail will form part of the Pickering Waterfront Trail and will provide an interregional trail connection to Alex Robertson Park Trail. FRENCHMAN'S BAY WEST PARK The Millennium Trail Project provides an opportunity to undertake restoration activities and provide a trail linkage within Frenchman's Bay West Park. These works include the construction of a parking lot for 30 cars, the construction of 265m of the Pickering Waterfront Trail, pathway improvements along the west spit and a water taxi dock. Environmental enhancements include fish habitat improvement in Frenchman's Bay and naturalization plantings. The proposed works are consistent with the objectives of the Frenchman's Bay Management Plan for providing an interregional trail linkage, parking, and restoration activities. RATIONALE The Waterfront Trail Master Plan and the Millennium Trail Project implement portion are key initiatives in realizing the vision for the Pickering Waterfront. These works include site specific projects that will provide public access to the waterfront, promote recreation and tourism opportunities and provide on site regeneration activities that ,will improve the ecological health of Frenchman's Bay Watershed. The Waterfront Trail Master Plan and the Millennium Trail Project are consistent with the Authority's overall program and-policy-ebjectives.fer the Pickering-Waterfront which include: . The Lake Ontario Waterfront Regeneration Project for the Durham Waterfront 1999 Project; . The Integrated Shoreline Management Plan - Tommy Thompson Park to Frenchman's Bay, 1996; . The Frenchman's Bay West Concept Plan, 1991; . The Frenchman's Bay Restoration Plan; . The Waterfront Environmental Monitoring Program; . The Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project , August 13, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/99 B543 The Waterfront Trail Master Plan and Millennium Trail Project provides a number of opportunities and benefits to the Authority which include: . The opportunity to expand the partnerships with the major waterfront property owners such as Ontario Power Generation and the Pickering Harbour Company in providing on-site restoration activities; . The opportunity to promote outdoor education and public awareness of the ecological features and functions of the Frenchman's Bay Watershed; . The opportunity to construct an interregional trail linkage along the Pickering Waterfront, including a trail linkage between the east and west spits of Frenchman's Bay; . The opportunity to implement the management objectives for providing trail access and restoration activities within Frenchman's Bay West Park. FINANCIAL DETAILS 1. TRAIL MASTER PLAN FOR THE PICKERING WATERFRONT The Town has allocated $800,000.00 for the construction of the West Pickering Trail alignment. The Authority will contribute $50,000 toward the costs of the project for planting materials along the alignment of the trail. This money was made available through the Rodd Avenue surplus land sales in accordance with our commitment to the community to enhance the habitat linkages between the Rouge River and Petticoat Creek. The money is available in account 004-12-000. 2. MILLENNIUM TRAIL PROJECT The Millennium Trail Project was approved by the Town of Pickering through Resolution #96/99 passed on May 03, 1999 and includes the'following funding partnerships: Community Services Group $100,000 Ontario Power Generation Pickering Nuclear $ 500,000 Toronto Region Conservation Authority $ 200,000 Federal Government Millennium Partnership Program $ 400,000 Province of Ontario $ 200,000 Town of Pickering $1.200.000 $2,600,000 The Town has requested that the Authority contribute $200,000.00 toward the costs of the project over three fiscal years:.:rhe-costs "er-year-1rom the -Authoritywould be $66;000 which could include in-kind services. The proposed works form a component of the Lake Ontario Waterfront Regeneration Project in the Regional Municipality of Durham.

AND THAT Authority staff continue to work with officials from the City of Toronto towards formally placing all of these lands under Management Agreement with the City of Toronto in association with the Brock West Landfill site. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND The Town of Pickering has requested that it be released from its management agreement responsibilities for the Grand Valley Park Lands situated in Part of Lots 22 and 23, Concession 2, Town of Pickering. In this instance, the management agreement between the Authority and the Town of Pickering encompasses approximately 41.5 hectares of land situated midway between Dixie Road and Valley Farm Road, immediately south of the Brock West Landfill site. The management agreement for these lands was originally executed in 1972. While these lands are formally under management agreement with the Town of Pickering, the City of Toronto has significant portions of the site under easement agreement. The City of Toronto's use of portions of this property is in relation to the Brock West Landfill site. All taxes and expenses are currently paid by the City of Toronto. The Town of Pickering has advised it currently is unable to use the lands for parkland purposes, and would like to be released from the provisions of the existing management agreement. The Town may be interested in re-assuming the lands once issues relating to the current waste disposal operations have been resolved. Authority staff has initiated discussions with the City of Toronto regarding the possible assum'ption of these lands in light of the association with the Brock West Landfill site. Staff will continue to pursue such arrangements with the City, A plan illustrating the Grand Valley Park Lands as well as the City of Toronto's Brock West Landfill site is attached. , September 10, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 6561 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Releasing the Town of Pickering from their responsibilities under the management agreement will not pose any direct financial implications to the Authority since all taxes and expenses are currently paid by the City of Toronto. There is a history of maintenance problems on the site related to illegal dumping of refuse but it is anticipated that the City of Toronto will continue to assist with control and clean up of these problems, The City of Toronto is also responsible for any issues arising from the waste disposal operations at Brock West. WORK TO BE DONE Authority staff will continue to pursue the formal transfer of management responsibilities for these lands to the City of Toronto.

Selecting a consultant to prepare the detailed design for the deepening of the Palgrave Mill Pond and the building of a fishway and bottomdraw outlet to improve water quality. Moved by: Jim McMaster Seconded by: Lorna Bissell THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff complete the consultant selection process and make a recommendation at the Authority meeting on September 24, 1999. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND Palgrave Mill Pond is located on the upper Humber River, on the east side of Regional Road #50 in the Village of Palgrave. The pond was created in the 1850's when a dam was constructed in the river to provide a source of power for sawmill and later, gristmill operations. The pond remains today as a valued aesthetic and recreational amenity, contributing to the character and identity of the Village of Palgrave. In 1979, The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) acquired the dam under the Hazard Land Acquisition Program and initiated the reconstruction of the dam in 1983 to address concerns related to the integrity of the dam structure. In recent years, sediment accumulation has resulted in a decrease in water depth and a loss of open water area in the pond degrading the appearance of the pond and impairing the quality and diversity of aquatic habitat, both within the pond and the Humber River. In response to concerns with degradation of aquatic habitat associated with the pond, Ontario Streams initiated the 'Palgrave Dam Aquatic Habitat Restoration Project.' The Project was focussed on exploring alternative solutions to mitigate impacts on aquatic habitat and stream stability resulting from the presence of the dam and the pond. Through the process to develop their report, no consensus was achieved with the community on a preferred solution. Based on the concerns expressed by the community, combined with other concerns related to the provision of fish migration past the dam and the pond, the TRCA initiated the designation of PaJgrave Pond as a 'Community Action Site'. In 1998, the TRCA worked with the Palgrave Pond Community Action Site Steering Committee and the community to generate the Palgrave Pond Restoration Concept Plan (Schollen & Company Inc., 1998). Following endorsement of the plan by the community and stakeholders, a technical study was completed to evaluate the feasibility of the concept plan and provide technical input to the development of detailed designs. . - . 8564 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 September 10, 1999 The project objectives of detailed design are reflective of the Community Action Site goal of integrating natural, cultural and economic concerns in a way that optimizes the function of the Mill Pond as an important feature of the village of Palgrave. To this end, the objectives of this project are: to allow for the passage of fish species (brook and brown trout, Atlantic salmon as well as cyprinids) at the Palgrave Dam on a year round basis; to improve the aesthetic value of the pond, through pedestrian trails, interpretation, planting, and dredging; to mitigate the thermal impacts of the pond on the downstream reaches through the installation of a bottom draw outlet; preserve the wetland on the north side of the pond; and improve aquatic habitat within the pond. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff sent out terms of reference on September 1, 1999, for the development of detailed designs for the rehabilitation of the natural and cultural heritage of the Palgrave Mill Pond. Staff will review all proposals submitted by invited consultants, after September 20, 1999. Selection will be based on the qualifications of individual team members, previous experience in similar projects, quality of proposal, and cost. Staff will recommend the successful consultant for approval at the Authority meeting on September 24, 1999.

Control of Floodina: All excavated fill material from the stormwater channel will be removed from the site. There will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: A sediment control fence and sediment trap will be erected around the proposed works to ensure that no sediment enters the watercourse. These will remain in place until all disturbed areas have been stabilized by a native seed mix. Conservation of Land: There are no significant resource features on the site. There will be no instream works. The stormwater channel will be merged into the floodplain and fanned out as it approaches the watercourse to dissipate flows. The works will extend no further than the edge of existing channel. Stormwater will enter the watercourse as sheetflow. There are no fisheries issues related to the proposed works. Policy Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Giffels Associates; project E98119; Drawings S-1, P1- to P-4 dated July 12,1999; Drawing SE001 revision 8 dated August 18, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: ProDosal: To enclose a portion of a tributary of the Etobicoke Creek for a distance of approximately 300 metres in a 1950mm diameter storm sewer in order to facilitate the development of an industrial property located at the north end of David Hunting Drive. Control of Flooding: The subject watercourse has a drainage area of less than 125 hectares (approximately 90 ha.). A Regional floodline is not associated with the tributary. Staff has reviewed a stormwater management report prepared by Giffels Associates which we found to be satisfactory. Additionally, stormwater quality is being provided for through the City of Mississauga's Water Quality Study requirements. Pollution: A siltation control plan to protect the existing channel has been provided. It will be possible to construct the storm sewer in the dry and then divert flows from the tributary to it; a contingency plan has been provided in the event of high flows. Conservation of Land: As part of the proposal an environmental analysis of the current terrestrial and aquatic habitat was undertaken by the proponent. This analysis concluded that the reach did not provide significant terrestrial or aquatic habitat. The watercourse is not considered to represent significant in-situ fish habitat as the downstream reach is already piped in a storm sewer under David Hunting Drive. The sediment control measures noted above will mitigate any harmful alteration to downstream habitat. An Authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans will not be required. Staff has reviewed this analysis and have concluded that the reach does not represent a significant corridor feature. There are no geotechnicat'COncerns-associatedwith the-proposal. 8568 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 September 10, 1999 Policy Guidelines: The proposal is in conformance with the approved Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program Section 3.3 - Watercourses and Alterations.

Silt Fence I nstallation Detail Drawing; received August 31, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of placing asphalt fill to pave over an existing gravel parking lot on the subject property. Only the southern-most portion of the parking lot is located within the Fill Regulated Area of the West Highland Creek; no part of the proposed works is situated within the Regional Storm flood plain. Control of Flooding: The control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works. There will be no concentrated flows from the newly paved parking lot. Runoff will be in the form of sheet flow across the paved parking area and will be directed toward a vegetated buffer located between the edge of the parking lot and the valley top-of-bank. Authority staff has previously reviewed this drainage scheme and is satisfied that no impacts to the valley (and flood plain) will result from the sheet runoff. Pollution: Silt fencing will be installed at the edge of the parking lot to prevent the overland migration of construction-generated sediments and to protect a well-vegetated buffer area (2 to 8 metres wide) between the proposed paved area and the top-of-bank of the stable valley wall. The vegetated buffer will act as a filtering zone for the sheet runoff from the parking lot. Conservation of Land: No resource features will be impacted by the proposed works; all disturbed areas will be revegetated/stabilized following construction, with the exception of the vegetated buffer which will remain undisturbed as discussed above.

The subject site is located on Etobicoke Creek just upstream of Bovaird Road in the City of Brampton. As an emergency measure, works were undertaken in April 1999 to place fill along a 12 metre length of watercourse just downstream of a weir structure. Flows in this portion of the Etobicoke Creek had created a deep scour pool on the downstream end of the weir causing gabion stone baskets to fail and spill into the watercourse. The weir-was--in--danger~Hapse-and-the gabion-stone-baskets washed into the centre of the watercourse, causing extreme erosion to the banks on either side. Authorization for the emergency works was issued by the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans on February 19,1999. 8592 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 September 10, 1999 Control of Flooding: The proposed works, consisting of erosion protection and habitat enhancement, will restore the watercourse channel to its previous condition. As such, there will be no impacts on hydraulics or the storage and conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: A temporary check dam will be constructed downstream of the proposed works to prevent the movement of sediment downstream. Conservation of Land: As part of the Emergency Authorization issued by the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, a compensation plan was required to address the .no net loss. fisheries policy. The proposed compensation plan involves the use of planted fieldstone protection, the regrading of eroded slopes, riparian plantings, natural channel design principles, stormwater quality control measures and other fish improvement features which will restore and enhance the impacted area and will also improve the overall stability of the creek.

The proposed underpass construction is in the fill regulated area but outside the high water level for the Lake Ontario shoreline. Control of Flooding: The underpass IS above the high lake level and wave up rush for this reach of shoreline. A storm outfall is to be constructed through the opening of the underpass. It is designed to drain the area adjacent to the trail and future development to the north. The outlet of the outfall is also above the high lake level. Pollution: The site will be surrounded by sediment fencing to prevent the migration of construction generated sediment to the lake. Conservation of Land: The underpass is to be excavated through an embankment raised for the tracks through this area. A geotechnical report was undertaken and the underpass designed accordingly. Authority staff and staff of the Canadian-Natienal Railway have-reviewed1he-details-and-are-satisfied. The storm outfall outlets onto the cobble beach and runs in a swale to the waters eqge. Additional erosion protection is not required. The outfall IS above the high water level for Lake Ontario. The area is proposed to be enhanced and restored as part of the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project and the Port Union Village Common development. 8596 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 September 10, 1999 Policy Guidelines: The works meet the objectives of the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project and the approved Integrated Shoreline Management Plan.

The lots ,are located at the crest of the Humber River valley on the former Lacey property and on lands owned by Harbourview. Control of Flooding: The lands are not located in the Regional Storm floodplain. Stormwater management will be provided by drainage to the existing Bolton-South Hill pond 1, in accordance with an amendment to the original Bolton-South Hill Master Drainage Plan. , Sept~mber 10, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 8597 Pollution: A comprehensive erosion and sedimentation control plan has been prepared confirming to the terms of the minutes of settlement. This plan delineates all disturbed areas and provides for sediment fencing, mud mats and a suitable topsoil stockpile location. Conservation of Land: The proposed works include grading over the defined top of bank on the south side of the plan (in accordance with the settlement). This filling has been minimized by the specification of walk out basements in this area. The works are in accordance with an approved geotechnical report prepared at the time of the settlement. A restoration planting plan for the disturbed areas and an environmental management plan including naturalization of the adjacent open space block (sideslope) has been provided. A trail master plan has been prepared, however this has not be~n finalized pending further discussions with Town staff. This will be dealt with prior to registration. Policy Guidelines: As noted above, the subject land was dealt with through an Ontario Municipal Board appeal by Harbourview and subsequent settlement with the Authority and the Town of Caledon in 1998. All conditions pertaining to the grading and drainage of the 12 lots permitted through this agreement have been met to the satisfaction of Authority staff. The remaining outstanding matters, including finalization of the Trail master plan and conveyance of the balance of the open space block, will be dealt with prior to registration, which is expected later in September 1999.

Silt Fence Installation Detail Drawing; received September 8, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of installing a 250 millimetre diameter gravity-fed, sanitary sewer from Park Brook Place to the existing Regional Trunk Sanitary Sewer (TSS) located in Pomona Park to the south. The proposed sanitary sewer will be installed using the directional drilling method beneath the watercourse which will avoid cutting through the channel of the Little Don River. Two borehole pits are required for this work. The north pit is to be located outside of the valley corridor. The south bore pit, located on the valley floor, is the only portion of the proposed works situated within the Fill Regulated Area and Regional Storm Flood Plain. Control of Flooding: The new manhole at the junction of the proposed 250 millimetre line and the existing Regional TSS needs to be raised to approximately the 100 year storm flood level to prevent inflow of flood waters into the sanitary sewer system. If the system were to be flooded, raw sewage would be released into the watercourse from the overflow. In order to control this, a cone of fill material will need to be placed around the new sanitary manhole, as is the case around the existing manholes along the Regional TSS in Pomona Park. Ten (10) cubic metres of volum~ will be displaced within the flood plain (this includes the raised manhole pipe also). Staff are presently confirming that the filling around the manhole will not impact the control of flooding. Fill material from the bore pit will be temporarily stockpiled within the flood plain; however, all post-construction grades will match pre- development ground elevations. Pollution: A silt fence will encircle the bore pit and stockpile area located on the valley floor to prevent the overland migration of sediments towards the watercourse during construction. Conservation of Land: All filled and disturbed areas will be revegetated following construction; no significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works. In addition, no disturbance will occur within the 10 metre riparian zone adjacent to the Little Don River. Policv Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Correspondence from MacViro Consultants Limited describing the construction practices and restoration for the sanitary sewer works; received August 30 and September 2, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: As part of the extension of the trunk sanitary sewer, the Region of York is proposing to construct a 620 metre section of the sewer through the flood plain and fill regulated area of the Rouge River west of Warden Avenue and under the watercourse. Starting on the south side, a trench will be excavated for 110 metres to a tunnel pit 10 metres from the watercourse. From this point, a tunnel will be constructed 2 .5 metres under the watercourse to 22 metres beyond the watercourse on the north side. A trench will then be dug from the north to meet the tunnel. The sewer will be placed in the trench and tunnel. The selection of the sewer alignment has been co-ordinated with the proposed I BM software facility site which is being developed on the north side and is acceptable to Markham Hydro which is on the south side. Control of Floodino: There will be no changes in grade and therefore no impact on the control of flooding. Two manholes will be located in the flood plain and will be sealed to prevent flood waters from leaking into the sewer system. Pollution: Sediment fencing......i11 be-installed between-tne-watercotlrse-and1he-trench/tunnel pit to prevent the movement of construction generated sediment to the watercourse. Conservation of Land: On the south side of the watercourse there is no well defined valley slope. The grade slopes gently to the watercourse. The area that will be disturbed is currently manicured by Markham Hydro and will be restored to original conditions. 8600 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 September 10, 1999 On the north side, adjacent to the river, there is a well defined slope which is vegetated with woody riparian vegetation. This area is to be protected, the open trench ending on the tableland outside the area of the woody vegetation. The area disturbed by the trench construction will be restored as part of the planting/enhancement plans associated with the IBM development. Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: Brown's Corners United Church, located on the north side of Highway # 7 and west of Woodbine Avenue, was established in 1842. The church is designated a historic site by the Town of Markham. In order to continue-the-vjaBj.ljty-of-tAe-church;4fte-l:lnited.-Ghurch-is reqtjesting"a permit to expand the building in order to offer more community programs, share the facility with another church congregation and provide office space for the United Church Council. The existing church is located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain and is located approximately 25 metres from Beaver Creek. The depth of flooding around the church varies from 0.6 to 0.1 metres under Regional Storm conditions. The site is not fill regulated. September 10, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 8601 Control of Floodinq: The proposed addition is approximately 60 % larger than the existing structure. It is not proposed to extend any closer to the watercourse. All proposed openings in the new structure will be above the Regional Storm flood elevation of 184.7 m CGD. In addition, opportunities to flood proof the existing structure are being examined. Pollution: Sediment fencing will be installed between the work site and the vegetated portion of the stream corridor to prevent the movement of construction generated sediments to the watercourse. Conservation of Land: There are no significant natural resource features on the site. Policy Guidelines: Section 4.2.2 (C) of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) allows for minor additions for structures in the flood plain provided that the addition is limited to 50 % of the total area of the existing structure. In discussions with church representatives and after several iterations of design, it was determined that the proposed addition was the minimum size that would still meet their facility needs. Without the new addition as proposed, the church would no longer be viable and would close. Considering this, Authority staff are prepared to recommend approval of the proposed addition as it meets all requirements for a minor addition as set out in the VSCMP with the exception of size, the church has an established historic use since 1842, the depth of flooding is less than 0.6 m which allows for safe access by emergency vehicles to the building, the existing structure is flood proofed to the 100 year storm level, design alterations may allow for increased flood protection of the existing structure to the Regional elevation and the site has been identified in the flood warning system. A site plan application to the Town has not been made yet for this proposal. However, we have discussed this proposal with Town staff and have been advised that they would not have an objection to the principle of the development.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Prooosal: The proposal consists of excavating fill material and lot grading as part of the construction of a detached single family dwelling on this presently vacant property. The western half of the subject lands are located within the Fill Regulated Area; the extreme northwest corner of the property (Le. on the valley floor) is situated within the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Petticoat Creek. Control of Flooding: No part of the proposed development will occur within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Pollution: Silt fencing will be installed between the house site and the top of bank of the stable valley wall to impede the overland migration of construction-generated sediments. Conservation of Land: Although the valley slope is in a stable condition, staff has requested a geotechnical investigation to ensure that the new structure does not lead to slope instability. Authority staff has requested that the proposed structure be setback from the top of bank as far as possible (a ten metre setback is not achievable due to the limited amount of tableland on the property). The geotechnical investigation will recommend an appropriate setback as well as design details; a minor variance may be required to reduce the front yard setback in this regard. New development within the 10 metre setback is consistent existing development through this reach. All filled and disturbed areas will be grass seeded or sodded following construction; no significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works. 0, , September 10, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 B603 Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.2.2(G) -Infilling - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. eFN: 30560 Application #: 216/99/PICK Report Prepared by: George Leja, extension 342 For information contact: Mary Asselstine, extension 304 Date: August 20, 1999 TOWN OF RICHMOND HILL 8.1.30 LOUIS CHELlN & ASSOCIATES LIMITED To construct in a flood plain on Part 5 Plan 4840, (305 Enford Road), in the Town of Richmond Hill, Don River Watershed as located on the property owned by Stemmle Holdings Inc..

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: September 10, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 8605 Proposal: The Granite Club is proposing to develop a golf course in the Township of Uxbridge south of Bloomington Sideroad and east of the York-Durham Townline. Through a planning application, Authority staff reviewed a proposed golf course development on a portion of this same site in the late 1980's and as a result these lands were zoned for golf course use. The Granite Club purchased these rezoned lands in 1998 as well as some additional lands to the east. The Reesor Creek flows in a north south direction through the site. There is an associated regional storm flood plain; however, the site is not fill regulated. The property includes a portion of ESA # 108 (Uxbridge Forest) which is also a part of a Provincially Significant Wetland Complex. Authority staff have been working with the proponent, The Township of Uxbridge and the Region of Durham to achieve the best design for the golf course. In order to reduce the impact to the natural features on site, the recent purchase of the additional lands to the east allowed for a golf course design that is more sensitive to the ESA features and functions than the original design that was considered in 1989. In addition, the ESA and wetland portions on the additional lands will be protected with adequate buffering from the golf course development. The fairways, tees and greens are designed and located to allow for a minimum 10 metre buffer from the Provincially Significant wetland and allow for a riparian zone adjacent to the meanderbelt of Reesor Creek. The golf course has been designed to protect the valley feature of the site with the exception of cart path crossings. In addition, the number of crossings have been minimized in the design. Some wetland and watercourse crossings are required to link the holes. In this regard, five boardwalk/bridge crossings are proposed. The bridges, which are to be part of the board walk structure will span the watercourses, with the posts set back from the watercourse edge. Hole # 2 A boardwalk and bridge, approximately 80 metres long, is required to cross Reesor Creek and an adjacent low lying area to link the tee to the green for the second hole. The hole is designed as a f1yover from the tee to the fairway over the wetland and watercourse. The boardwalk alignment is to be located immediately adjacent to a railway embankment at the edge of the wetland pocket minimizing the amount of disruption. Hole # 4 A 130 metre long board walk and bridge over Reesor Creek and adjacent wetland is required to link the tee to the green for the fourth hole. There is no fairway for this hole as it has been designed as a flyover over the wetland and watercourse. Hole # 6 and 7 A 55 metre long board walk and bridge is required to cross Reesor Creek and the adjacent wetland to link hole 6 and 7. Hole # 12 A crossing of the Reesor Creek valley corridor is required to link the tee to the fairway for hole # 12. The valley is well defined with steep side slopes. The hole is design to go over the valley. B606 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 September 10, 1999 Historically the valley appears to have been bermed to create a ponded area It is proposed that these berms be used as an elevated crossing of the valley with a short bridge span, thereby minimizing impact to the valley floor and associated vegetation. Holes # 9 and 18 A single shared bridge and boardwalk 100 metres long is proposed across Reesor Creek and the adjacent wetland area to link the tees and greens for both the 9th and 18th hole. Both these holes . are designed as flyovers over the watercourse and wetland. Control of Flooding: A hydraulic analysis was undertaken through the preliminary design stage of the golf course development which indicated that there would be no changes in flood elevations caused by the proposed cart path, boardwalk and bridge crossings. The boardwalks will not be inundated with flood water under frequent flood events; however under larger events, it is expected that the flooding will cause little damage because of the low velocities of flow. The bridge at hole # 12 will allow flood waters to pass under it and will not be affected by the Regional Storm. Pollution: Sediment fencing has been installed around the areas that will be disturbed for regrading within the active golf course. Fencing and straw bales will also be installed on either side of the crossing alignments. No machinery will enter the watercourse. These precautions will minimize the transport of construction generated sediments to the watercourse. Conservation of Land: The board walk and bridges will be constructed this fall. To minimize disturbance to the wetland, mats approximately 4 metres wide are proposed to be floated in the wetland for machinery access to the post sites. Woody vegetation along the routes will be trimmed to promote regeneration after the mat is removed. This technique will preserve the wetland vegetation. No machinery will enter the watercourse or other areas of the wetland. In order to strengthen the corridor reach, additional native vegetation enhancement plantings are proposed adjacent to the valley and stream corridor to provide linkages between the existing natural features and to provide for a well vegetated corridor for wildlife movement. A planting plan including edge management planting for woodlots and enhancement of disturbed areas and riparian areas will be undertaken as part of the overall golf course proposal and will be dealt through the final clearance of the zoning. Specific to this permit application, restoration planting for areas disturbed by the crossing works will be required. With the exception of the crossing at hole # 12, the slopes are fairly gentle. Slope stability issues have been addressed. - September 10, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 8607 The watercourse and adjacent wetland provides cold water fish habitat. Construction impacts at the crossing sites, including sediment control, will be mitigated through the construction techniques noted above. As part of the mitigation for the boardwalk crossing at hole # 4 all posts adjacent to the watercourse and within the wetland must be installed prior to September 15 to meet the construction timing guidelines for cold water fish habitat At all other crossing sites there will be no work directly in an area of fish habitat. There are no long term impacts on fish habitat. Authorization for the works is not required from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). Policy Guidelines: The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to Section 4.1 .2 - Resource-based Uses.

The purpose is to regrade a lot to facilitate the construction of a new house, and to replace the shoreline protection. The permit will be issued for the period of September 10, 1999 to September 9, 2001 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: . Site Plan and Section, Karen and Bill Van Evans, 690 Front Road; prepared by David Johnston Architect Inc.; job # 98017; drawing # SD1; received September 3, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: ProDosal: An existing 750 ff (228.6 m2) cottage and associated detached garage (370 fe/112.8 m~ located on the shoreline of Frenchman's Bay is to be demolished and replaced by a two storey 1,500 ff (457.2 m~ home with an attached garage. The site is fill regulated and within the 100 year lake level (plus the wave up rush) for Lake Ontario. As a portion of the work, the site is to be regraded and an existing stone and rubble wall at the lake shore is to be replaced with a new stone wall at the same location. B608 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 September 10, 1999 Control of Flooding: The 100 year lake level for Frenchman's Bay at this location is approximately 75.7 m CGD. A shoreline processes report was undertaken which determined that the wave uprush increased the potential flooding to 76.1 metres. As such, the current house and garage would be partially flooded to a maximum of 0.3 metres of flooding. With the new shoreline protection and the regrading of the lot, the new structure will be above the wave uprush elevation and no longer subject to flooding. The lot grades are designed to prevent surface flows from entering the adjacent properties. The new grades, house and shoreline works will not affect flooding on neighbouring properties or the overall characteristics of flooding in Frenchman's Bay. Pollution: The stone shoreline protection is to be undertaken under dry conditions. Currently the water level of the bay is below the elevation of the toe of the shoreline works. To prevent the movement of construction generated sediments from the site, the disturbed area adjacent to the shoreline work will be sodded immediately following construction of the wall. Conservation of Land: The fishery in the area of this lot is highly degraded because of heavy boat use and previous shoreline alterations. In addition, the wetland portion of the bay does not extend to this site. The new shore protection wall will be at the same location as the existing wall. The new wall will replace the fish habitat that currently exists. During construction no sediment will enter the water, therefore mitigating any fisheries impact. Authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans is not required. The new shoreline protection will prevent erosion of the shoreline and ensure the long term flood protection of the house. Policy Guidelines: The proposal is in compliance with the implementation guidelines for the Provincial policy Statement, Public Health and Safety, Section 3.1 - Natural Hazards.

Offers received for Advance Boulevard parcel are as follows: Name Amount Certified Amount of Comments Cheque Certified Received Cheque Pretam Poonai $39,600.00 Yes $1,980.00 Unconditional Offer The subject parcel of land was acquired by the TRCA in 1981. as part of a larger parcel which included a tributary of the Etobicoke Creek. Subsequent to the acquisition, detailed flood plain mapping was produced for this reach of the Etobicoke Creek, which revealed that approximately 3 acres (1.21 hectares) of the parcel constituted table land. The TRCA maintains limited ownership of lands along this reach of the Etobicoke Creek, with the City of Brampton and the Province owning the majority of greenspace lands in this vicinity. The original expression of interest in acquiring this parcel of land was made by Correct Building Corporation (Centennial) Limited. Authority staff ensured this party was apprised of the progress on this matter, and copies of the pUblic tender were provided to Correct Building Corporation (Centennial) Limited extending them the opportunity to submit a formal offer; as of the closing of the tender, no formal submiss~on was receiv~d from Correct Building Corporation (Centennial) Limited. The public tender for the Advance Boulevard parcel was advertised in the Toronto Star on Thursday, July 29, 1999, and Saturday, July 31, 1999, and in the Brampton Guardian on Wednesday, July 28, 1999. Eighteen information packages were sent out for the subject property. 8610 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 September 10, 1999 Staff is currently in the process of reviewing the offer received from Pretam Poonai, and will be bringing a further report forward to the Full Authority meeting of September 24, 1999, with a recommendation in this regard.

The Authority is in receipt of a request, to consider disposing of a 35-acre parcel of Authority-owned tableland located east of Humber Station Road, south of Old Church Road, Town of Caledon. Moved by: Donna Patterson Seconded by: Gerri Lynn O'Connor THAT the potential disposal of a 35-acre parcel of tableland being Part of Lot 18, Concession 5, Town of Caledon, be referred to the Authority staff for review in accordance with established Authority policies; AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action .......................................... CARRIED BACKGROUND This issue is being brought to your attention in accordance with Resolution #A289/94, adopted by the members of the Authority at a meeting held on January 27, 1995. This resolution requires staff to bring requests for the purchase of Authority lands forward and requires Executive Committee direction for staff to begin the technical review, agency circulation and public consultation, at the end of which a recommendation will be made as to whether the property is surplus to the Authority's needs and can be considered for possible disposal. The Authority is in receipt of a proposal from Humberview Farms Ltd., the owner of adjacent land at Lot 17, Concession 5, to consider conveying to them this parcel of Authority-owned tableland to add to their farmable land. A Plan illustrating this location is attached.

Report on the Enforcement procedures once a violation has been issued. Moved by: Donna Patterson Seconded by: Gerri Lynn O'Connor THAT the staff report on the violation procedures be received. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND The Executive Committee, at Meeting #4/99 held on May 14, 1999 requested that staff bring forward a report on the enforcement procedures once a violation has been issued. The Enforcement Officers, in the execution of their Section 28 duties, ensure that permitted works are executed as approved and pursue the resolution of unauthorized works (violations) to the satisfaction of the Authority. With respect to the violation process, the approach has two elements - preventative actions and responsive actions. Prevention involves the provision of information to and liaison with municipal staff, developers, contractors, members of the public who actively support conservation and the general public. In addition, permit sites and potential violation sites are inspected by the Officer as part of their compliance monitoring duties. The responsive approach comes into play once a violation has occurred. Depending on the significance of the violation, the Officer will seek to resolve the occurrence in one of three ways: 1 ) Through discussion, for minor infractions. Conservation-orientated, regulatory requirements are identified/acknowledged and the affected area restored. 2) Issuance of a Notice of Violation. The Officer enters into negotiations with the offending party in order to secure the resolution of the violation. This may involve the removal and restoration of the affected area, under the direction of the Officer, or the acquisition of a permit by the offending party to undertake works in a manner approved by the Authority. 3) Through the Judicial process, where charges are laid before the courts under Ontario Regulation 158. Every effort is made by the Officer to resolve the violation prior to entering this phase of the process, pursuant to the approval of the Director of Watershed Management. The Executive Committee's request referred to the procedures followed, once a violation has been issued. The actions-iaken-by-an-Officer-,.pursaanMo-the-issl1ance-ota.-violation, are predicated by the elements of the offence. I will present a number of scenarios that would produce a range of responses by the Officer. , September 10, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 8615 1) Minor or older (existing, non-conforming) Violation Where the unauthorized works have been completed and are relatively insignificant and/or the site has renaturalized, the Officer may deem it appropriate to issue a violation as a matter of record. The notice would be supported with verbal and/or written communication to the offending party stipulating the offence, clarifying the regulatory status of the subject site/property and clearly stipulating that no further works should be undertaken without the written permission of the Authority. This course of action serves a number of purposes: - informs the offending party, including the land owner, of the Authority's interests and concerns with respect to the subject property; - establishes a historical reference point for Authority involvement on the site. This is of value in the event of future staff involvement with respect to a development application and associated remedial works, to re-establish a valley feature; - identifies to other Officers, the existence of prior contact by a fellow or former Officer; - negates a defence of due diligence in the event of a subsequent violation. Files of this nature would be kept open for a period of time as part of the Officer's compliance monitoring duties. If the site remained inactive, the file would be closed and become a matter of record. 2) Significant Current Violations In this situation, the position taken by the Officer is to request the termination of all works, seek the removal of the offending works and the restoration of the affected site. If the property owner wishes to explore the option of a permit application, the Officer will facilitate the owner's request. Significant violations fall into two basic classes: - those that can be resolved via the permit process. In this case, the Officer will work with staff, as required, to resolve the violation via this route. Upon the issuance of a Permit, the Officer will inspect the works to the point of completion to ensure compliance with the approved drawings; - those that cannot meet the Authority's requirements for approval. In such cases, the Officer will enter into negotiations with the offending party to seek removal and restoration. 3) Significant Violations that move forward into the realm of the iudicial system Where the Officer's attempts to resolve the violation by other means do not produce the desired outeome .and-#1e. facts-at-issue-can-b~stantiated, -the-violation process evolves into a judicial process. In all cases, no matter what the parameters of a given violation are the Officer will, as a part of his initial investigation, address the basic questions of who, what, when, where and why. As the significance of the occurrence increases, the depth and complexity of the investigative process as well as the associated negotiations increase. In all cases, up to the point of entering the judicial process, the Officer will continue to seek a negotiated settlement. 8616 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 September 10, 1999 When the Officer moves forward to the judicial process on behalf of the Authority, he has at this point established his case and is prepared for trial. At this point and up to the trial date, the Officer in consultation with management and counsel for the Authority will entertain submissions from the accused for an out of court settlement. In summary, in all cases the Officer will seek to resolve the violation to the satisfaction of the Authority. Report prepared by: Alan Willison, extension 285 For Information contact: Brian E.

To retain the services of a consultant to complete engineering design drawings and specifications for the construction of a pedestrian walkway to Bluffers Park. Moved by: Donna Patterson Seconded by: Gerri Lynn O'Connor THAT the consulting firm of Golder Associates Limited be retained to complete preliminary and final engineering design drawings for the Brimley Road South Pedestrian Walkway, at a total upset cost of $25,000 (excluding G.S.T.) ................................. CARRIED BACKGROUND Brimley Road was constructed south of Barkdene Hills to the waterfront of Lake Ontario in the mid 1960's, in a gulley that was part of an old sanitary landfill site. Bluffers Park was developed between the mid 1960's and the early 1970's by extending the shoreline south of the ravine by means of land reclamation. There is at present no assigned pedestrian path in or out of the park. For safety reasons, this forces pedestrians to use the narrow shoulders and the deep ditches during times of heavy traffic. As a result of a slope failure near the south end of Brimley Road on April 15, 1991, the former City of Scarborough retained Golder Associates to provide engineering consulting services for the investigation 'and--remediation. of'slopeS'"formed-ofiandfilhnaterial:-..Because of their extensive knowledge of the site, staff feel it is the Authorities best interest to retain Golder Associates Umited for this assignment. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The consultant will be required to carry out geotechnical investigations, in situ and laboratory testing if required, and provide design alternatives for review by City of Toronto and Authority staff. September 10, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 8617 The consultant will review concept drawings prepared in the early 1980's, prepare final design drawings of the preferred option as well as specifications, and contract documents ready for tendering.

Moved by: Donna Patterson Seconded by: Gerri Lynn O'Connor THAT the Authority contribute $15,000 to the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) in support of a comprehensive regional geological synthesis of sediments in the GTA; AND FURTHER THAT the GSC be asked to provide the Authority with any existing hydrogeological data that could be used in furthering the Authority's efforts in developing groundwater management strategies .................................... CARRIED BACKGROUND Since 1993, the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) has collaborated with federal, provincial, municipal and university partners to collect a high-quality earth science dataset for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). This research focussed on 3-D mapping and understanding the origin and history of glacial sediments in the GTA. The GSC is now proposing to complete a regional analysis of the GTA geological information and publish the products over the next 2-3 years. This work is broken into five tasks and related products: 1. Data assurance - verification of data reliability 2. Stratigraphic model - development of model in GIS environment 3. Sedimentary models - preparation of detailed sedimentological descriptions, depositional models and maps for each stratigraphic unit 4. CD and Web-based products - publication of geological data and summaries of geoscience information in CD-ROM and web-based formats 5. Final Reports - publication of geological reports in peer-reviewed publications The total project budget for 1999 is $100,000. The GSC has asked the TRCA and the Regional Municipalities of York, Peel, and Durham each to contribute $15,000. The municipalities have indicated that they will likely be interested in contributing. Ontario Power Generation has already confirmed a $40,000 contribution. This work will provide better understanding of the broad regional context for long term groundwater management. In the short term, this partnership should facilitate access to GSC's existing data, which could offset some work originally planned within the first phase of the Authority's project with York Region to devetop--a-groundwater-'management-strategy. 8622 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/99 September 10, 1999 BENEFITS This regional analysis of glacial sediments in the GTA will assist the TRCA and its municipal partners in understanding the relationship between long term land use plans and geological constraints. Glacial sediments affect all land use activities, including agricultural, industrial and resident~a1, particularly with respect to water resource management. This regional understanding will be particularly helpful in developing future strategies for water supply and addressing the effects of climate change. By contributing to this regional work, the TRCA will continue to demonstrate its commitment as a partner in groundwater management. FINANCIAL DETAILS The TRCA contribution of $15,000 is available from the City of Toronto RAP budget and Authority reserves.

CARRIED PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The property subject to this application is an 18 hectare (40 acre) parcel located on the east side of Pine Valley Drive north of Major Mackenzie Drive. It was originally part of a 23 hectare (50 acre) parcel. In 1965, a 4 hectare (10 acre) parcel was severed off the property. The severed, 4 hectare, parcel contains two dwellings. The remaining 18 hectare parcel is vacant. . WIth the possible exception of a small area of tableland at the eastern (rear) limit of the property, the 18 hectare parcel is located entirely within.the Fill Regulated valley corridor of the Purpleville Creek. It consists of floodplain and swamp lands on the valley floor and well vegetated, relatively steep, valley side slopes. A copy of the Authority fill regulation mapping outlining the property is attached as exhibit 1. " , 8626 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/99 October 15, 1999 The dominant vegetation community on site is swamp, with the additional communities being mature upland mixed forest, mature red pine plantation, thickets and old field. The high quality swamp is of old growth character and contains six swamp community types including very mature trees, high plant species diversity, mosses, fungi, fallen logs and hummocky terrain. Hemlocks are regenerating throughout the mature mixed forest in large patches. The mature mixed forest provides habitat for a number of significant (rare, sensitive or indicators of high quality) flora and fauna species. Immediately adjacent to the site (on all sides) there is high quality amphibian breeding habitat. The subject property is required summer and winter habitat for the significant frog breeding concentrations using the adjacent lands. This site represents a significant node and linkage within the corridor of Purpleville Creek and contains high quality habitat for significant flora and fauna species. In light of the above, the property has been identified as a candidate Environmentally Significant Area (ESA). Investigations in this regard are on going. The floodplain portion of the property is zoned Open Space 1 (OS 1), with the balance zoned agriculture (A) pursuant to the City of Vaughan zoning by law 1-88. More recently, the lands were designated valleyland and tableland woodlot in the City Official Plan Amendment no. 400, approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs on June 29, 1995 . The Purpleville Creek valley corridor is undeveloped from its confluence with the East Humber River south of Major Mackenzie to its headwaters located north of Teston Road. It consists of steep forested valley slopes and floodplain forests. The two structures on the severed parcel are the only ones identified within the corridor. BACKGROUND The subject property is currently owned by the estate of Ms. Cohoon's father Ms Cohoon, the applicant, is the executor of the estate. The adjacent 10 acre parcel containing the two houses, originally part of the family holding, was sold previously by Ms. Cohoon's father. Ms. Cohoon contacted Authority staff late in 1997 in order to determine the development potential of the property. At that time, a proposed building envelope was shown on the valley floor, outside the floodplain. Staff advised that since the property has no structures, and is part of an undeveloped valley corridor, new development would not be recommended. Staff advised of the relevant Authority policies, as well as the policies in the City of Vaughan Official Plan Amendment 400. Ms. Cohoon subsequently retained the services of a planning consultant, Mr. James Dyment of the Planning Partnership. Mr. Dyment filed a formal application to place fill in a regulated area in September 1998. The original application filed included a site plan based on Ms. Cohoon's original concept. Subsequently, following a site meeting with staff, Mr. Dyment proposed a revised plan which relocated the buileling envelope to-a-small ~i>lateaun-ar~a below the'top--of-bank at the south west corner of the property. The septic system would be located further down the slope northeast of the house site. This location has been proposed in an effort to address Authority Policy with regards to vegetation removal and disturbance through grading on the property. This revised proposal is the subject of this hearing. October 15, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/99 8627 Since staff has indicated that the application cannot be supported, we have worked with Mr. Dyment to keep the costs of preparing drawings and studies to a minimum. This application is intended to determine if there is a viable building envelope on the property. The drawings submitted with this application are preliminary and do not include detailed house and septic design. Staff has also not required the production of a geotechnical report or detailed vegetation inventory, Any furth'er consideration of the proposal, if warranted, should include submission of these technical details. PROPOSAL The subject application proposes the construction of a new residence and associated infrastructure. The proposed works include clearing and grading for the primary structure, a driveway and a septic system in the southwest corner of the property. This location was selected as it represents the minimum amount of disturbance to the lot, including regrading and removal of vegetation. The proposed building envelope is 20 by 20 metres (400 square metres) located on the upper section of the slope. A tile field and reserve tile field area of 50 by 30 metres (1500 square metres) is proposed for the base of the slope outside the floodplain, additional clearing and grading would be required for the driveway. A site plan is attached as exhibit 2. The proposal meets the City's zoning by law criteria for the Agricultural zone; no planning act application is required. However, policy 5.9.1 3 in OPA 400 regarding valleylands prohibits buildings and structures from being located within Valley and Stream Corridors, except where such buildings and structures are intended for flood and erosion control purposes and where such building and structures meet the requirements of the (M)TRCA. The applicant would be required to obtain a permit from the Region of York pursuant to the tree By-Law, and a building permit and septic system approval from the City of Vaughan. There may be a small area of the property located along the eastern boundary which IS located outside the corridor. However, access to this area is not feasible. Any building site with access from Pine Valley Drive (through the property) would require substantial grading and vegetation removal within the corridor. The proposed building envelope, septic system and driveway access are all located below the top-of-bank of the Purpleville Creek valley. The total amount of regrading required for the tile field is 750 cubic metres in order to level the area, followed by the importation of approximately 900 cubic metres of fill to construct the filter bed. For the residence, approximately 300 cubic metres of fill would be removed to construct the foundations. For the entire development, a total area of 3500 square metres would have to be cleared of vegetation POLICY AND RATIONALE As noted, the subject property is vacant and is within an undeveloped corridor. The Valley and Stream Corridor--Management-Program-(1994),-Section-4:1:1 AJ-states the follOWing. New urban development shall not be permitted within valley and stream corridors, except in areas of existing development as set out in Section 4.2. Urban development includes buildings, structures and associated private servicing such as parking and septic systems. 8628 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/99 October 15, 1999 The objective of this policy is to prevent new development that would introduce risk to life and property associated with erosion, slope stability and flooding issues and the protection of the natural valley corridor resource. The Conservation Authorities Act enables Conservation Authorities to make regulations applicable in the area under its jurisdiction. Under the Act, the TRCA has made Ontario Regulation 158 which states: The Authority may permit in writing the construction of any building or structure or the placing or dumping of fill . .. it, in the opinion of the Authority, the site of the building or structure or the placing or dumping and the method of construction or placing or dumping ... will not affect the control of flooding or pollution or the conseNation of land. In relation to the conservation of land, the Mining and Lands Commissioner concluded in her decision on 611428 Ontario Limited and the (M)TRCA, dated February 11, 1994, that the conservation of an ecosystem is comprehended in the words "conservation of land". This interpretation was supported by the Ontario Court of Justice regarding the same matter in their decision released April 22, 1996. The extent of disturbance required to facilitate the proposed development will have significant impacts on the local ecosystem including loss of sensitive and significant habitat, loss of select fauna species, and impairments to the size and shape of a significant habitat node on Purpleville Creek. Additionally, it has the potential to introduce risk to life and property associated with erosion and slope stability where none exists today. The local impacts all contribute to cumulative regional impacts on the natural heritage system. Components of the regional natural heritage system that are impacted include, representation of vegetation community types, distribution and abundance of flora and fauna speCies, reduction in forest cover, fragmentation and isolation of habitat blocks and the introduction of conflicting land uses within the open space system. In light of the above, it is the opinion of staff that the subject proposal will impact the features, functions and landform of Purpleville Creek. SUMMARY The proposed building envelope, driveway and septic system are located entirely below the top of bank of the undeveloped Purpleville Creek valley. The proposal will introduce risk associated with slope stability and erosion where none currently exist. It will also result in loss of vegetation within a significant habitat block and therefore impact the function of the natural valley corridor. As such, staff concludes that the proposal has a significant impact on the natural features, functions and landform of this reaGR-of the p{M'f'leville-Creek-valley~d 1s-#lerefore-recommending the application be refused as it affects the conservation of land.

The Authority is in receipt of a request from Westside Cemeteries Limited to provide a permanent easement for a storm sewer outfall located north of Finch Avenue, east of Duffenn Street, City of Toronto (formerly City of North York, Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto), in the Don River Watershed. Moved by: Donna Patterson Seconded by: Bill Saundercook THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is in receipt of a request from Westside Cemeteries Limited to provide a permanent easement for a storm sewer outfall located north of Finch Avenue, east of Dufferin Street, City of Toronto (formerly City of North York, Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto); AND WHEREAS it is the opinion of the Authority that it is in the best interest of the Authority in furthering its objectives, as set out in Section 20 of the Conservation Authorities Act, to co- operate with Westside Cemeteries Limited in this instance; THAT a permanent easement containing 0.03 acres (0.01 hectares), more or less, be granted to Westside Cemeteries Limited for a storm sewer outfall, said land being Part of Lot 22, Concession 2, West of Yonge Street, City of Toronto (formerly City of North York, Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto); THAT consideration is to be the nominal sum of $2.00, with Westside Cemeteries Limited being responsible for all legal, survey and other costs involved in granting this easement, as well as an administration fee of $1,000.00 payable to the Authority; THAT Westside Cemeteries Limited is to fully indemnify the Authority from any and all claims for injuries, damages or costs of any nature, resulting in any way, either directly or indirectly, from the granting of this easement or carrying out of construction; THAT a permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 be obtained prior to the commencement of construction; THAT an archaeological review is to be carried out with any mitigative measures being carried out to the satisfaction of the Authority; THAT said easement -is~ subject -to the'^Spproval"of-the -Minister of Natural Resources in accordance with Section 21 (2) of the Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter C. 27 as amended; AND FURTHER THAT appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED 8642 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/99 October 15, 1999 BACKGROUND The subject lands were expropriated from Westminister Memorial Park Cemetery Limited, a predecessor in title to Westside Cemeteries Limited, on December 23, 1966, under the Finch Dam and Reservoir Project. The maintenance building, main office, mausoleum and associated parking facilities for the cemetery are located in this area and the storm water from these structures presently drains over the bank to the Don River. This has resulted in an erosion problem on the Westside Cemeteries Limited property. The construction of the outfall will resolve this problem. Concurrent to this request, an application pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 for the construction of these proposed works has also been submitted by Westside Cemeteries Limited.

Renewal of an existing licence agreement between Little Men Films Incorporated and the Toronto & Region Conservation Authority for the purpose of filming the Little Men Series at the Authority's Claremont Conservation Area in the Town of Pickering, Regional Municipality of Durham, Duffins Creek Watershed. Moved by' Donna Patterson Seconded by: Bill Saundercook THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the staff report on the renewal of the licence agreement for Little Men Films Incorporated be received for information; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action necessary to negotiate the renewal of the licence agreement and give effect thereto, including the obtaining of any approvals and execution of documents, and to advise the Authority of the Terms of the Renewal at the earliest opportunity . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND In July of 1998, Authority staff were approached by Alliance Productions Incorporated with a proposal to use a portion of the Authority's Claremont Conservation Area for the purpose of filming a new televiSion series entitled "Little Men". The proposal entailed the construction of two temporary film sets deSigned to be quickly erected and torn down on the completion of filming. The "Little Men" series is based on Louisa May Alcott's book of the same title. The setting is the rural New England landscape of 1871, and concerns the adventures of the local homestead community. The show is in its second season on PAX-TV, an American cable network, and the producers are currently negotiating a possible third season. Discussions are also underway with CTV to air the show in the Canadian viewing market. The original licence agreement with Alliance Productions ended on February 28, 1999, and the series was taken over by the Coscient Group who renewed the licence agreement from March 1, 1999 to December 31, 1999. The current licence agreement contains an option to extend the agreement to April 30, 2001, subject to Authority approval and provided the parties have agreed on a monthly rate by November 1, 1999. Little Men Films Incorporated has advised that they are currently negotiating a possible third season for the series; if successful, they would like to renew the existing licence agreement for Claremont in accordance with the existing terms and conditions. A plan showing4he-area S{:JbjecHo the-4ieeRce agreement is-attached. RATIONALE Under the terms of the existing licence agreement, Little Men Films Incorporated has an option to provide written notification should they wish to extend their existing agreement with the Authority to April 30, 2001. This extension is subject to Authority approval, and mutual agreement related to the monthly rent to be paid. 8648 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/99 October 15, 1999 The producers of the series are currently negotiating a possible third season, and if successful will exercise their option to extend the licence agreement for filming at Claremont The overall working relationship with Little Men Films Incorporated has been good, although there have been a couple of issues arising out of their filming schedule and traffic on-site. These issues have been successfully resolved, and a protocol has been arranged between the parties to ensure such problems are avoided in the future. It should be noted that beyond the current renewal option, the licence agreement contains provision for four additional one year terms beyond April 30, 2001. This option was included to reflect the possible life of the series, although there is no assurance it would extend this long. Any future renewals would be subject to mutual agreement related to the monthly rent to be paid. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE The existing licence agreement with Uttle Men Films Incorporated provides for a proportionate share of the realty taxes and maintenance costs to be paid by the licensee. The existing terms and conditions of our licence agreement are not subject to change, and as such the licensee will continue to pay their proportionate share of taxes and be responsible for the maintenance of the lands. Additionally, the Authority has obtained a $100,000 letter of credit as security towards the decommissioning of the site once the licence agreement has terminated. Should Little Men Films Incorporated fail to return the site to its original condition, the Authority would be able to draw on this $100,000 letter of credit to have the site restored. FINANCIAL The eXisting licence agreement with Little Men Films Incorporated generates $6,600/month in revenues for the Authority. A condition of the renewal requires that the parties reach mutual agreement on the monthly rent for the term of the licence by November 1, 1999. Subject to Little Men Films Incorporated pursuing an extension to the licence agreement, Authority staff will negotiate a new monthly rent for the term of the extension.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of excavating and placing fill material to relocate an existing intermittent tributary of the Carruthers Creek to the south end of the property (the channel presently bisects the lands diagonally from the northwest corner to the southeast corner of the lot). Excavation and filling/lot grading is also required as part of the construction of a single family dwelling on the previously severed;eastem half~Hhe 10t:--T-he'western-half-oHhe-lot-is not being developed at this time; however, the owner of this property has provided written permission to move the watercourse to the south end of the lands. The Regional Storm flood plain of the Carruthers. Creek extends westward and is contained within the existing and relocated channel of this tributary (Le. no overtopping of flood waters occurs on the remainder of the lots). The Regulation Fill Line encircles' the existing channel; the fill line will likely be adjusted around the relocated watercourse as part of the Authority's on-going Fill Regulation Extension Program. October 15, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/99 8659 Control of Floodino: This watercourse has very limited base flow, as most surface drainage within the catchment area has been diverted away; only groundwater, periodic road drainage, and local lot drainage inputs provide intermittent flow within the remnant channel at this time. Staff has reviewed an incremental balanced cut and fill calculation prepared by the project consultant and is satisfied that the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works. No other fill material will be placed within the flood plain; the proposed dwelling will also be situated outside the Regional Storm flood plain. Pollution: The watercourse relocation will be completed by first plugging the downstream end with earth, the new channel will then be excavated and shaped, the old channel will be filled in, and silt fencing will be installed around the relocated watercourse. Conservation of Land: Before the earthen plug is removed at the downstream end of the work area, the new channel will be hydroseeded with a rapid soil stabilizing seed mixture comprised of native ground covers. The bottom of the relocated watercourse will be lined with river-run stone, while the upper banks will be extensively planted with native trees and shrubs to provide a natural stream corridor feature and a terrestrial habitat linkage. Since there is no in-situ fish habitat in the watercourse and base flow is intermittent, Authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans will not be required for the proposed channel works. Policv Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 3.3 - Policies and Procedures for Identifying Watercourses and Alterations - and Section 4.2.2(G) - Infilling - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

(TOTAL 4) RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the follOWing information: Proposal The purpose is to relocate a watercourse to facilitate the stormwater servicing requirements of a new warehouse facility at the south east corner of Highway 50 and Major Mackenzie Drive. The intermittent watercourse will be relocated and expanded to handle the anticipated flows from the stormwater management pond located at the north end of the property. Control of Flooding. The East Rainbow Creek tributary is intermittent and drains an area of less than 125 hectares There will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: No sedimentation IS expected from these works. The watercourse IS Intermittent and works wlll be undertaken in the dry Conservation of Land: There are no significant resource features on the site. Existing drop structures within the watercourse Will be removed as part of the overall works, eliminating potential barriers to the movement of fish. The watercourse will be naturalized through the planting of native grasses and woody riparian vegetation The project will result in an overall improvement in the riparian zone of this section of the East Rainbow Creek. As the works are to be undertaken in the dry, an Authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans is not required. 8672 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/99 October 15, 1999 Policv Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with Section 3.3 (C) - Policies and Procedures For Identifying Watercourses and Alterations - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Letter of Undertaking from Schaeffer Consulting and Metrus Developments Inc. to provide final engineering drawings and landscape plans satisfactory to TRCA staff for the Wismer Commons Subdivisions; dated October 13, 1999. , 8674 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/99 October 15, 1999 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: As part of the initial construction for Phase 1 and 2 of the Wismer Commons Development, the applicant is proposing to construct two storm water management ponds and outfalls and two road crossings of Robinson Creek. In association with this work the applicant will be proceeding to strip topsoil, pregrade and preservice the development area. A permit is not required for this aspect of the work as the area is not fill regulated. Phase 1 and 2 of the Wismer Commons development represents approximately half of the developable area between Highway # 48 on the east, McCowan Road on the north, 16th Avenue on the south and Major Mackenzie on the north. Two tributaries of the Robinson Creek divide the site and Join near the south limit of the property. Both tributaries drain greater than 125 hectares and a Regional flood plain limit has been established. Generally, there is not a well defined valley feature through the upper reaches; however, the valley becomes well defined as the tributaries approach the confluence. Ultimately, in order to proceed with the final construction of the residential subdiVISion, several other proposed works will require a future permit. The eastern tributary (East Robinson Creek) is proposed to be lowered to maintain base flow in the watercourse and to allow for serVicing. An additional off-line quality pond that will contribute to base flow, an on-line quantity control pond, and a road crossing will be part of these works. A second on-line quantity control pond is reqUired on the western tributary (West Robinson Creek). Crossing # 1 - East Robinson Creek A road crossing is reqUired at the upstream end of the future stream lowering section of the East Robinson Creek. The watercourse at this location is intermittent and the channel is not well defined. There IS no insitu fish habitat Ultimately when the storm sewer system is installed, this feature will no longer convey water, and It Will be regraded Into the site In the interim drainage will be conveyed under the new road in a culvert. Crossing # 2 - West Robinson Creek A crossing of the West Robinson Creek is required close to the upstream limit at the north end of the property. The applicant IS proposing a three-celled open-foot box culvert, the footings of which will straddle the existing low flow channel. There will be no work in the watercourse. Pond # 2 Pond # 2 is located on the table land outside of the valley corridor on the north side of the confluence of the East and West Robinson Creeks and is designed to prOVide water quality treatment and tG-attenuate-minor.system {lews-te- pre-delfelepment levels. Only a portion of the ultimate pond will be constructed at this time, which will service approximately 80% of the total drainage area The remainder of the pond will be designed in detail and built out when the additional lands are approved for development. Staff are confident that there is sufficient pond capacity and block size to accommodate the ultimate pond # 2 design. The outlet for this structure empties into a scour pool on the valley floor which will dissipate the flow within the flood plain. October 15, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/99 8675 Pond # 4 Pond # 4 is located on the east side of Robinson Creek outside of the Regional Storm Floodplam, downstream of the confluence on the north side of 16th Avenue. It is designed for water quality treatment and attenuation of minor flows for a 50 hectare drainage area. In addition, as an interim measure, the pond will control the major system flows for a 25 hectare portion until the downstream on-line pond is constructed in the future. The outlet for this structure empties into a scour pool on the valley floor which will dissipate the flow into the flood plain. Control of Flooding: A hydraulic analysis, satisfactory to TRCA staff, was undertaken for the crossing on the West Robinson Creek (Crossing # 2) and demonstrated that there were no impacts on the flood plaIn limits or flood flows resulting from this work. Crossing # 1 and the two ponds are not within the flood plain The control of flooding will not be affected. Pollution: A sediment fence will be installed between the pond sites and outlet scour pool and the watercourse to prevent migration of construction generated sediments to the watercourse. Currently both the East and West Robinson Creeks are dry. Construction will be undertaken under dry conditions to the extent possible and as quickly as possible. If there are flow conditions on the East Robinson Creek, the watercourse Will be dammed and pumped around the site to prevent sediment from moving downstream On the West Robinson Creek, sediment fenCing Will be Installed between the watercourse and the work site Conservation of Land, There is an eXisting cold water fishery at 16 th Avenue Both branches of Robinson Creek contribute to this downstream fishery; however, cold water Inputs do not begin until just north of 16 th Avenue, At the site of the proposed crossings, there is no in-Situ fish habitat on the east branch and seasonal use of the west branch. The proposed sediment controls and construction practices proposed will protect the downstream fish habitats. AuthOrization is not required from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for these works. Authorization will be required for some of the future works that are listed above that are not currently part of thiS permit application. The ponds and outlets and the disturbed areas adjacent to crossing # 2 are to be restored with native woody riparian vegetation. Currently the crossing sites have no woody vegetation.

The permit will be issued for the period of October 15, 1999 to October 14, 2001. . Letter of Undertaking from Mr. Joe Barbarino, President, Sunset Pools and Spas Inc. (Re: Acknowledgment that permit cannot be released until cross-sectional detail of 0.6 metre stone wall has been submitted to the satisfaction of Authority staff); received October 13, 1999. RA TI ONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following Information: Proposal: The proposal consists of excavating and placing fill matenal as part of the construction of an In- ground swimming pool an a 0.6 metre high stone retaining wall. Only the backyard portion of the subject property IS located within the Fill Regulated Area of the German Mills Creek. Control of Flooding: The entire lands are situated outside the Regional Storm flood plain Pollution: Silt fenCing Will be installed along the top-of-bank of the well-defined (and stable) valley wall. Conservation of Land: The proposed swimming pool will be located approximately 2.0 metres ~way from the top-of-bank. Due to the small area of the backyard, the pool cannot be moved further away from the top-of-bank (there is only a 2.0 metre space between the proposed pool and the rear wall of the existing house. The 0.6 metre high stone retaining wall will be coincident with the valley top-of-bank Similar structures have been built along thiS reach of the valley corridor. Authority staff are presently determining if a geotechnical assessment IS required in support of the proposed works. ThiS recommendation will be withdrawn if geotechnical concerns remain outstanding. All disturbed areas Will be revegetated/stabilized following construction, no resource features will be Impacted by the constru ction.

The purpose is to excavate and place fill in conjunction with the construction of an 11.0 metre by 13.7 metre frame barn, within the Fill Regulated Area of the Duffin Creek. The permit will be issued for the period of October 15, 1999 to October 14, 2001. . Site Plan prepared by Dick Rutherford, P.Eng. of Consport Inc.; received October 13, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal The proposal consists of excavating and placing fill material as part of the construction of an 11.0 metre by 137 metre frame barn on the subject property. The entire property is located within the Fill Regulated Area of the Duffin Creek; the proposed barn site is situated outSide the Regional Storm flood plain. Control of Flooding: Since the proposed barn will be located outside the Regional Storm flood plain of the Duffin Creek (with no fill material placed within the flood plain), the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works. Pollution Sedimentation is not expected during construction, as the building site is located 50 metres from the watercourse 8678 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/99 October 15, 1999 Conservation of Land' The building site is located at the base of a very gentle slope which was likely used as a paddock area for livestock. The site is devoid of woody vegetation; only herbaceous field vegetation exists at the building site. Therefore, no resource features will be impacted by the proposed works; all filled and disturbed areas will be revegetated following construction.

Red-line Revision, West Pond, Revised Planting Plan; prepared by Cosburn Patterson Mather Ltd.; Drawing # 804; received October 7,1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basiS of the following information: Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a new water quantity/quality pond to replace an existing storm water pond-BAd.{o-servlc~11eW'fesidential'plan'of-sljbdivision, -T-he'pond design is meeting the storm water management criteria as set out in the Functional Servicing Plan for Study Area A, OPA 129 (FSP) which required quantity control (2 year to 100 year post development to predevelopment). In addition, beyond the requirements of the FSP, a water quality treatment function has been added. October 15, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/99 8679 Plannino Context: Through the Ontario Municipal Board decision for OPA 129, the interim pond for the existing Royal Oaks subdivision was to be relocated to a site within a wetland and floodplain of the Humber River. The relocated pond was to be designed to provide additional storm water management for a future plan of subdivision in the same drainage area as Royal Oak. The proponent has now made an application to construct this new pond. The proposed site is within an Environmental Protection Area # 1 (EPA 1); however, to accommodate the pond, conditions approved at the Ontario Municipal Board allowed for an exception to the protection policies of the EPA 1 zone. The EPA 1 lands were designated as such because of the wetland feature; however, at the time of the designation the wetland was not Provincially Significant. A pond block was set aside immediately adjacent to the interim pond site This location had already been partially disturbed through the construction of the original interim pond Unfortunately, the deSignated lands are not owned by the developer for the subdivision and therefore are not available for the proposed pond. Through the subsequent subdivision review process, lands were added to the draft plan to allow for a new pond location. These lands are also located within the EPA 1 zone. Staff reviewed the new pond location and identified that issues of hydraulics, flood storage and fish habitat needed to be addressed. In addition, the recreation of the wetland lost at the pond site would provide an overall benefit The wetland is to be extended to the west of the pond site, and contiguous with the adjacent wetland area to be protected. The same location is to be used for a required cut for loss of flood storage Control of Floodinq' The proposed pond is located adjacent to a remnant channel of the Humber River north of North Lake Road ThiS channel carries local flows only; however it functions as a storage area for flood waters under Regional Storm events. The applicant has proposed a compensating cut adjacent to the pond, outSide of the wetland to replace the loss of flood storage as a result of the siting of the pond Authority staff are satisfied that the proposal will not impact the control of flooding Pollution: Sediment fencing will be Installed around the pond site and around the cut site to prevent the migration of construction generated sediments into the watercourse Conservation of Land The pond will be constructed over a thick layer of peat. Berming is required to contain the storm water and to maintain as much of the existing wetland vegetation within the pond as pOSSible There will be no equipment in the watercourse or in the adjacent wetland area that is to be preserved. The newly creat~-wstjand wilH'rumio- tR&existing-wetlaRd--and-will be -designed and planted to enhance existing and future Pike spawning habitat. , 8680 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/99 October 15, 1999 Use of the wetland area by fish is difficult to determine. Our staff believe that there IS a warm water fishery in the watercourse that Will not be disturbed, and seasonal use of the wetland for Pike spawning. Currently, any use of the wetland for Pike spawning would be unproductive as there is a fish barrier that prevents adult and young from migrating back to Lake Wilcox Future mitigation of this barrier IS planned. Under these circumstances staff at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans do not require an Authorization for the proposed works. Policv Guidelines: The proposed pond is in general compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing. While the pond is located within a Significant Area. Staff are recommending an exception to this policy guideline based on the following considerations: - The decision of the Ontario Municipal Board for OP A 129 allowed for an exception to the EPA 1 policies for the creation of this pond. At that time the wetland had not been designated as Provincially Significant. - The lands designated for the pond block were not owned by the developer who required the pond for servicing. - The pond is being designed as a wetland facility. The existing vegetation will be protected within the pond bottom. - The loss of the wetland will be compensated by the recreation of a wetland area contiguous With the existing wetland that is to be protected - There will be no hydraulic impacts or loss of flood storage - Fish habitat for future Pike spawning will be enhanced.

E17/96).ln accordance with the Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) for OP A 121, the wet ponds/wetlands serve as an on-line water quantity/quality control faCility for four of the subdivisions in the OPA 121 planning area, as well providing water quality treatment for the developed area further upstream The proposed road is needed to relieve local traffic pressure, especially at the intersection of Bayview Avenue and Major Mackenzie Drive The adjacent commercial site will be developed at the same time as the road construction, so the storm sewer outfall will be installed as part of the road crossing work. The proposed Con Span Culvert and storm sewer outfall are located within the Regional Storm flood plain of the Beaver Creek. The site IS not presently fill regulated; however, fill lines are proposed to encircle the stream corridor as part of the Authonty's on-going Fill Regulation Extension Program. Control of Flooding' The existing wet pond/ wetland facility has been designed to prOVide control of the post development 100 year storm runoff to pre-development levels. In addition, the Regional Storm flood plam of the Beaver Creek IS contained within the wet ponds and wetlands (this design was reviewed and accepted by Authority staff under Permit No C-96044). The proposed Con Span Culvert has been Sized to convey the Regional Storm flows without overtopping the new road or creating a backup of flood waters upstream of the road crossing. Pollution An ErOSion and Sediment Control Plan Indicates the use of Silt fencing to control the overland migration of sediments during construction and a temporary off-line sediment basin for the storm sewer systems Staff has requested further details on how siltation will be controlled dunng the Installation of the Con Span Culvert. In addition, post development water quality Will be enhanced by the Installation of a Stormceptor (Model STC 3000) within the proposed storm sewer system, allOWing for the treatment of runoff outlettlng into the existing wet pond/wetlands facility. Conservation of Land' Through the MESP process, the Ministry of Natural Resources had agreed to support the modifications to the Beaver Creek channel at this location The water quality treatment created In the wet pond/wetland facility for the developed upstream lands was part of a fishery compensation package for the prevIous channel works. No further Authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans is r~ed for the-preseRt pr-epesal,as the water-quality'functioo of the present facility will not be impaJred by the road crossing and outfall. The approved on-line wet ponds and wetlands have been extensively planted with native woody, herbaceous, emergent, and submergent plant matenal Authority staff has requested a planting plan for the area within the pond disturbed by the road crossing work. No other resource features will be disturbed by the proposed works; all other areas disturbed by the works Will be stablllzed/revegetated following construction. 8682 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/99 October 15, 1999 policv Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

CARRIED BACKGROUND This issue is being brought to your attention in accordance with Resolution #A289/94, adopted by the members of the Authority at a meeting held on January 27, 1995. This resolution requires staff to bring requests for the purchase of Authority lands forward and requires Executive Committee direction for staff to begin the technical review, agency circulation and public consultation, at the end of which a recommendation will be made as to whether the property is surplus to the Authority's needs and can be considered for possible disposal. In 1995, Mr. Pilley purchased a lot at 1681 Concession 7, which is adjacent to Authority-owned land. Included with the lot was a drilled well. Recently, Mr. Pilley has constructed a new house on the lot with a septic tank and tile bed. Based on information received from Mr. Pilley, the well that was included when he purchased the property, was actually located on AuthOrity land, and the new septic system was also constructed on the Authority owned land, Mr. Pilley is requesting that the Authority owned land on which the well and septic system is situated, be sold to him.

Firsrly, once the Pogos lnvestment Ltd. acquires thIS parcel of land. what assurances do we have that they will not be expanding the plaza complex In the near or distant future. Any expansion of the plaza will certainly create more traffic, more noise, more garbage and more security prohlems for the neighbourhood. Secondly. the sale of this parcel of land may lead to sale of more parcels 01' Jdnd by T.R.C.A. to Pogos Investment Ltd. to expand the boundaries 01' the plaza further and encroaching on my property in the near or dJ~lant flIlure. This scenario will certainly amplify the problems outlined ,l!1CWC and have a direct affect on the value of my property - which will 110t he acceptable. Thcs~ are legItimate concerns as a property owner hvmg very close to thiS r1aza - in addition to the fact that another patch of grass will be turning lIltl) a paved parking lot.

The staff recommendation was amended by resolution #197/99 requesting staff to make best efforts to negotiate a provision in the lease for the GTSB to contribute to the capital cost of the project in the event they were to terminate their tenancy before the 10 year period required to repay the capital cost had expired. The Project provides for addition of about 1500 square feet of office space on the south part of the Visitor Centre patio.

RATIONALE Staff are proceeding with the Project Gordon Cheney Architect Inc., who had been hired to prepare the original plans, has been hired as the Project Architect. Members will recall that Mr. Cheney had been the architect of the Visitors Centre originally and has intimate knowledge of the building.

Staff has acted to award a contract for a project to upgrade the Authority's server network and ensure Y2K readiness Moved by: Bill Saundercook Seconded by: Gerri Lynn O'Connor THAT the Executive Committee endorse the decision of staff to award the contract for the Server MigrationIY2K Readiness Project to TCO Consulting Limited in the amount of $16,950. (Plus applicable taxes) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND Staff has been implementing the Authority's Y2K readiness plans as r-eported previously to the Finance and Business Development Board and the Authority. A number of major projects were identified Including the telephone system replacement, accounting system upgrade and upgrades to the Authority's computer network servers. All of the work is proceeding, however, the changes to the Authority's network servers have proved to be more complex and difficult to resolve. Staff will be reporting to the Finance and Business Development Board at their meeting on November 5th, 1999, as to the status of the Authority's Y2K readiness. RATIONALE The preliminary review of the AuthOrity's network server upgrade requirements did not identify all of the problems which were subsequently encountered. Staff had thought that the migration to a more recent release of Novell network software would be relatively straight forward This has proved to be a wrong assumption Also, a decision was made to build in added redundancy to the network to reduce the risk of lost productiVity should any of the network components fail. The network which includes 9 servers is now a Critical component of virtually all of the Authority's information and communications activities. As a result staff were confronted with a project of added complexity at a time when there is great demand for the particular software expertise to solve the problem To deal with thiS, staff has acted to retain the services of TCO Consultants, a firm which specializes In the particular network migration work that the AuthOrity requires. Time being of the essence with year end approaching, and there being few firms available to do this work, the Director, Finance and BUSiness Development, made the decision to retain the services of TCO Consultants. TCO 'came to us with excellent references and had conducted training of TRCA Information systems staff in the latest release of the network software. The end result of this work will be Y2K readiness as well as position IS infrastructure to take advantage of new technology. The value of the contract,-afthottgh-it involves-a numberohipectflc;--smatler projects, totals $16,950 (plus taxes). The Authority's purchasing policy requires that consulting contracts in excess of $5000 require Executive Committee approval. The timing of this work is such that staff could not wait until October 15th for approval. Because the work is specialized, and given the demand for specialized computer software consultants as a result the Y2K problem, it was not possible or prudent to follow the normal tendering process. Staff made the decision to award the contract to TCO. 8738 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #9/99 October 15, 1999 FINANCIAL DETAILS This cost of this project is provided for in the 1999 approved budget for information systems DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The work will be completed by November as set out in the Authorrty's Year 2000 Preparedness Plan. For information contact: Jim Dillane, extension 6292 Date: October 5th, 1999 RES.#B183/99 - HYDROGEOLOGICAL EXPERTISE Approval of purchasing arrangements for hydrogeological expertise associated with relatively small, short term assignments. Moved by: Bill Saundercook Seconded by' Gerri Lynn O'Connor THAT the Director, Watershed Management Division, be authorized to contract for hydrogeological expertise for small, short term assignments from among the following consultants: . Paul Bowen, Terraprobe Limited . Bill Morrison, Morrison Environmental Limited . Norbert Woerns, Gartner Lee Limited; THA T the estimated value of anyone assignment shall not exceed $10,000; THA T staff shall regularly review the availability of hydrogeological expertise, give fair consideration to consultants who may wish to be added to the assignment list, and advise the Executive Committee of revisions to the list; AND FURTHER THAT staff report at least annually to the Executive Committee summarizing the number, value and nature of such assignments made pursuant to this practice over the previous twelve months. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND The AuthOrity's role in groundwater management has been increasing, and with this Increased actIVity has come a need to hire hydrogeological expertise from time to time, often on small, short term assignments.' Currently, thB 'Authority is-providing project management for an initiative With the 'Region of York Involving the development of a regional groundwater management strategy. The Authority is providing guidance as to the groundwater studies required to complete several Master EnVIronmental Servicing Plans and associated municipal Secondary Plans and private development plans In the Town of Richmond Hill. In this regard, hydrogeological expertise is needed for technical review of the studies, participation in meetings, and, potentially to defend the Authority's interests as an expert witness at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). Other advisory services are sometimes required to asSiSt in the development of the Authority's watershed strategies and report cards. October 15,1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #9/99 8739 SectIon 1.3 of the Authority's approved Purchasing Policy provides for the procurement of professional and technical consulting services. Executive Committee approval must be obtained when the estimated fees are likely to exceed $5000. Three quotations are to be obtained from prospective consultants, and there is provision for hiring other than the lowest bid if justified. Consultant selection criteria are detaJled in Section 3.4 and include such factors as' qualifications and expertise, prevIous experience, availability of staff, understanding of the project, cost, etc. These small, short term hydrogeological assignments can individually be arranged as per the Purchasing Policy, however, there are some occasions when extended contracts or repeated contracts may be necessary. Many of these small assignments cost less than $5000, however, depending on the nature of the project and complications that arise, there is sometimes a need to extend the initial contract beyond $5000, but usually under $10,000, to complete the work In the case of development services technical review work, it is important to hire an individual who can provide credible expert opinion at the OMB, should the need arise, and who is already very familiar With the Authority's interests, as the time available for review is limited. In these cases the Authority prefers to hire consultants with whom It has worked previously. A list of three selected hydrogeological consultants were invited to submit proposals to demonstrate their qualifications and costs, with the understanding that AuthOrity staff may call upon them to undertake small assignments as the need arises. The following summary identifies the consultants and their rates. Paul Bowen, Terraprobe Limited $ 98.00 per hour Bill MOrrison, Morrison Environmental Limited $12500 per hour Norbert Woems, Gartner Lee Limited $ 99 00 - 160.00 per hour. All consultants demonstrate similar, sound qualifications and quoted comparable rates. Therefore, AuthOrity staff Will conSider any of the three consultants, based on their speCific strengths associated With the project circumstances and availability at the time reqUired.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At the meeting of the Executive Committee on September 10, 1999, the Committee requested that staff report on the Region of York Planning Department's report on the long term strategy for the Oak Ridges Moraine. The Region of York Planning Committee also requested comments on their staff report and the background paper. Regional staff have been requested to report back to the Planning Committee on the comments received for their meeting in December. The three Regions, York, Durham and Peel, have prepared the background paper and each of the Planning Departments have or will be taking reports to their CounCil on the future direction of a Long Term Strategy for the Moraine. On September 14, 1999, the Region of Durham Planning Committee adopted the general intent of staff recommendations, which Durham Council subsequently adopted on September 22, 1999. The recommendations are as follows: . Endorse the preparation of a coordinated strategy for the protection and management of the Oak Ridges Moraine in Durham, York and Peel; October 15, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #9/99 8741 . Endorse the process, outlined in their report, to prepare a coordinated long-term strategy for the Oal< Ridges Moraine; . Commence discussions and obtain commitment from the Province of Ontario, in partnership with the Regions of York and Peel, to participate and fund the completion of the ORM long- term strategy initiated in 1991; . The research paper entitled "Oal< Ridges Moraine - Towards a Long-Term Strategy" be received for information and used to support further discussions with the Province; . Initiate the immediate establishment of an advisory panel of consulting and government hydrogeologists to provide advice to the Regions on the geology and hydrogeology of the Oak Ridges Moraine, in partnership with the Regions of York and Peel and in consultation with Provincial ministries and other interested parties; . Report back on the feasibility of developing an Oal< Ridges Moraine database; and . Forward the report and background paper by the Regions of York and Peel, to the Ministries of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Natural Resources and Environment, area mUnicipalities in Durham, five Conservation AuthOrities in Durham, the Durham Chapter of the Urban Development Institute, the Aggregate Producers Association of Ontario, MPP's and MP's for Durham, York and Peel and other interested parties for their information and comment. The recommendations of the Region of York Planning Committee on September 15, 1999, as adopted by Regional Council on September 22, 1999, were as follows . That a report be brought back to Council on the feasibility of establishing a data management program . That a copy of the report and background paper prepared by the Regions of York, Peel and Durham, be forwarded to the Ministries of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Natural Resources and Environment, area municipalities, the Toronto and Lal<e Simcoe Region Conservation Authorities, the Urban Development Institute (York Chapter), the Aggregate Producers Association of Ontario, MPP's and MP's in York, Durham and Peel and other interested parties for their information and comments within 60 days. . Lands currently designated as urban In the Regional Official Plan or applications currently in process Will continue to be reviewed under the provisions of the Planning Act and existing policies and will not be delayed or impacted by the recommendations report. Consistent with Durham and York staff, Region of Peel staff will be reporting to their Committee on October 21, 1999. Recommendations from this Committee could then be forwarded to Peel Council. Past Initiatives on the Oak Ridges Moraine The TReA's 1989 Greenspace Strategy for the Greater Toronto Region proposed that special attention be given to conserving the headwaters in the Oak Ridges Moraine Complex. The strategy proposed: resouree-conservatlen-gt:lidelil1es for-development I=lropesals;'a selective land acquisition program; a stewardship initiative with private landowners; research into land use and resource management; increased regulatory control by extending flood and fill line mapping; establishing a regional trail system; promoting a provincial policy; and establishing a public awareness program. 8742 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #9/99 October 15, 1999 I n October 1989, the Greater Toronto Area Greenlands Strategy (Kanter Report) noted that without one definition of the Moraine, clear objectives and a long term implementation strategy, the significance and sensitivity of the Moraine would not be taken into consideration In the land use planning process. The study recommended that the Province declare a general expression of Provincial Interest for the Oak Ridges Moraine Area, under Section (2) of the Planning Act, providing time for the Province to conduct a comprehensive land use planning strategy of the Moraine area. In 1990 the second Interim Report, "Watershed", by the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront also urged the Province to form a special planning group to study and implement guidelines for the Moraine. These two reports provided the stimulus for the Province to announce the planning study of the Moraine and an expression of Provincial Interest in the Oak Ridges Moraine Area in the GTA in 1991, In 1991, the Province released a set of Implementation Guidelines to protect significant features and control development of the ORM in the GT A. These guidelines were meant to be interim, while a two-year planning study developed a long term strategy for the GTA portion of the Moraine. To complete the Oak Ridges Moraine study the Province established a Technical Working Committee (TWC) and a Citizens' Advisory Committee (CAC). The TRCA and the Ganaraska and Region Conservation Authority each had a representative on the TWC. Between 1991 and 1994, fifteen background studies were completed, representing the most comprehensive database of the natural environment, surface and groundwater systems and resource uses on the Moraine In 1994, the draft Oak Ridges Moraine Area Strategy for the Greater Toronto Area was circulated for public comment The Strategy itself identified three interconnected natural systems which form the basis for the protection and management of the Oak Ridges Moraine System. 1 ) Natural Heritage System - Divided into Core and Corridor Areas, this system includes Critical ecological features and functions (e.g. ESAs, ANSls, kettle lakes, wetlands, old growth forests, streams, etc.). The goal is to enhance the diversity and health of animals, plants, and wildlife habitat with a focus on native species. 2) Water Resource System - This system IS made up of significant surface water and groundwater resources The goal IS to ensure clean abundant wat.er is available to maintain headwater baseflow, storage in lakes and wetlands, and sustainable water use for nearby residents. 3) Landform Conservation System - This system includes the physical landforms and visual character of the Moraine. The goal is to ensure the form, character and variety of landscapes within the Moraine are maintained, to minimize disruption to natural processes, to maintain visual character and attractiveness and to retain the educational and interpretive value of the Moraine. I n August of 1994 the Authority's Executive Committee forwarded comments to the TWC on the Strategy The Committee was very supportive of the Strategy, its comprehensive assembly of available technical information on the Moraine, the identification of issues and the implementation mechanisms recommended. In addition to some minor comments on further protection mechanisms the comments identified the need for coordinated implementation options among all of the stakeholders. Among other comments, the Executive specifically indicated: October 15, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #9/99 8743 . That given the Authority's support for the objectives of the Oak Ridges Moraine Strategy and its close association with the current planning process, the Authority supports the continuation of the TWC, and appropriate additions, to finalize the Strategy and to determine a work plan and recommend funding for its implementation. . That since conservation authorities are the largest landowner on the moraine, they represent a provincial/municipal partnership; CA's programs are aimed at the management of renewable natural resources; and, they are organized on a watershed basis; the Oak Ridges Moraine contains the headwaters of most of the GTA's watersheds. It was therefore recommended that conservation authorities be identified and funded as the implementing agents for those components of the strategy related to land and resource management. . That the TWC strongly urge the Province to commit funding and assign specific responsibilities for the collection and analysis of data, long term monitoring, and informatIon management across the ORM. The Strategy also identified a number of Implementation Options that included administration, funding and legislative adjustments to enhance the effectiveness of the Strategy. The main options for implementation were as follows: . A Provincial Policy Statement under Section 3 of the Planning Act; . A Plan under the Ontario Planning and Development Act, or . New legislation similar to the Niagara Escarpment Act Once the final draft of the Strategy was complete, it was submitted to the Province for finalization in November of 1994. In April of 1995, the Authority's Executive Committee resolved that. "The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority request the Premier and the Minister of Natural Resources to bnng forward a provinCIal pOSition with respect to the protection and management of the Oak Ridges Moraine and the critical natural heritage, water resource and landform conservation systems which make it umque within and sigmficant to the Greater Toronto Area." DUring the last five years, no action has been taken by the Province to finalize the Strategy, to clarify the 1 991 Interim Guidelines or to formalize its 1 991 declaration of ProvinCial interest for the Oak Ridges Moraine Recent Initiative on the ORM Since 1994 the following initiatives have been undertaken on the ORM: . Geological Survey of Canada - the study's purpose is to advance the understanding of the Moraine's Interior structure and to identify the geological elements that control groundwater recharge, -4lew -and dlschaf~e - This worlc1s'-ongolng and -offers the potential to map stratigraphic suriaces of the Moraine in greater detail . MNR Natural Heritage System for the ORM in the GTA portion - In July of 1999 a summary map, Inventory and report of significant natural features on the ORM was circulated by MNR. . Various Natural Heritage Studies have been undertaken within the Region of York to identify significant terrestrial features and designate them as core natural areas Greenlands, Natural Heritage or Corridor studies have been undertaken by the Region, Town of East Gwillimbury, Township of King and the Town of Richmond HilI. 8744 ' EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #9/99 October 15, 1999 . Within the Town of Richmond Hill, detailed hydrogeological investigations have been undertaken in support of various development applications on the aRM. . The Region of Durham has undertaken work on a wellhead protection area program. . The Region of Peel has undertaken a similar wellhead protection area program and a groundwater quantification study. Recent TRCA Initiatives The TRCA, in consultation with York Region and the LSRCA, is undertaking a Groundwater Management Strategy of York Region. The purpose of the study is to assemble hydrogeological data in an easily retrievable format for use during the land use planning process. The information will provide the basis for developing principles to manage the Moraine's resources and for developing aquifer protection strategies that could be incorporated into York Region's Official Plan. Both the Don and the Humber Watershed Strategies have identified the protection of the Moraine as a necessary objective. Step One of the "Forty Steps to a New Don" was to protect or enhance the quantity and quality of groundwater by several means, one of which is to support the Provincial Oak Ridges Moraine Strategy in its efforts to protect groundwater on the moraine. Objective One of the "Legacy: A Strategy for a Healthy Humber" was to protect the form and function of landforms such as the Oak Ridges Moraine. Similarly, the Rouge North Management Plan establishes a goal for headwater areas of the Rouge The goal is to maintain the integrity of groundwater resources and hydrogeological functions within the headwaters, and recognize that these are essential to the health of the Rouge River system and the sustaJnability of the Oak Ridges MoraJne aquifers. The 1999 Clean Water Summit will focus on the Oak Ridges MoraJne in recognition of Its integral role in providing clean water to the Great Lakes Basin. RATIONALE It has been agreed and understood that the aRM is an important part of the landscape and the ecological functions within the Greater Toronto Area The Moraine, created during the last ice age, is composed of gravel and till material, and it features a series of hilly deposits, depressions and kettle lakes. The composition of gravel and coarse sand makes the soil permeable, so It can easily absorb rainwater and snow runoff. When water penetrates down Into the groundwater, it moves horizontally to the edges of the Moraine. The water then re-emerges as the headwaters of our major rivers ThiS process of groundwater recharge and discharge provides the natural filtration of our water and moderates the flow in our river watershed. This distinct landform character prOVides residents with critical ground and surface water resources. It also provides essential components for the unique natural habitat features so predominant along the Moraine. After-initial studies43y-m8.AY groups inclttding 1t1e rRCA, the Province in the early 1990's recognized the interconnection of this ecosystem and undertook a coordinated implementation strategy to maintain the natural heritage, water resource and landform on the aRM. This strategy IS even more relevant today as the urban expansion of municipalities, particularly within York Region expand into the Oak Ridges Moraine. The recommendation by the three Regions (York, Peel and Durham) recognizes the growing pressure for development on the ORM and requests that the Province revisit a long term strategy. October 15, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #9/99 8745 The Region's report deals with two components of a long term strategy. coordination in terms of policy objectives; and the coordination of data management. In terms of the policy objectives, staff recommend that the TRCA support the three Regions in their discussions with the Province on a long term strategy for the Oak Ridges Moraine. The advantages of a long term strategy coordinated through the Province are: . It provides a consistent level of protection through the implementation of common policy objectives. While the current interim guidelines raise issues that need to be addressed when considering development applications on the aRM, they were only designed as a reaction to development pressures on the ORM. The guidelines do not provide a strategy identifying overall goals and objectives for protecting the features and functions of the ORM; Nor do the guidelines establish a scale of study necessary to adequately address the principles. . It prOVides a coordinated means to furthering our understanding of the Moraine. While the 1994 strategy provided a well-documented review of terrestrial environmental issues, it did not provide the same level of understanding of subsurface resources. Groundwater systems, in particular, are integral to the terrestrial functions and the headwaters of the GTA watersheds Coordination by the Province is necessary since the Moraine covers numerous jurisdictions. These include 3 Regions (Peel, York, Durham), 5 Counties (Duffenn, Simcoe, Victoria, Peterborough, Northumberland) and at least 6 Conservation Authorities (Credit Valley, Toronto Region, Lake Simcoe, Central Lake Ontario, Ganaraska and Kawartha). It is recommended that a strong Provincial lead is necessary In gaining a consistent approach over the entire Moraine TRCA had Indicated when the implementation strategy was discussed In 1994, that either a ProvinCial Policy Statement or a Plan under the Ontario Planning and Development Act would prOVide the necessary mechanisms The Regions are recommending In their background paper that a PrOVincial Policy Statement IS the best means to proceed. It is recommended that the Authority support this approach given the changes In the planning approval process since 1994. In terms of the coordination of data management, TRCA can provide an important contnbution to furthering our understanding of the features and function of the ORM. Both the Groundwater Management Study In York Region and our Natural Heritage Strategy which are currently underway will add to the work already undertaken at MNR and the other CA's on the Moraine In particular, an understanding of the groundwater regime IS necessary to fully manage the ecosystem of the aRM. TRCA IS providing hydrogeological comments on development applications In Richmond Hill, and would like to participate in the adVISOry panel of consulting hydrogeologists recommended by the three Regions. In addition, based on the Groundwater Management Strategy currently underway, we offer assistance to the Regions in evaluating the feasibility of establishing a data management program The TRCA recommends that a strong ProvinCial involvement on the aRM policies and management is needed However, If the Province determines that they will not be Involved in a long term strategy, the Authonty should advise the Regions that we will continue to pursue studies and strategies to enhance the protection of the aRM features and function. We would offer the Regions any assistance they may require in pursing their own Initiatives 8746 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #9/99 October 15, 1999 In addition, it is recommended that the TRCA initiate discussions with the other CA's on the Oak Ridges Moraine to determine what studies have been undertaken, what studies are underway and future coordinated directions that the CA's can pursue to provide a long term strategy for the Moraine. These initiatives could then be coordinated with the Regions. CONCLUSIONS The Oak Ridges Moraine represents one of the most prominent physiographic features in southern Ontario, It periorms an important hydrogeological function, serving as a groundwater recharge/discharge area. It also provides essential components for the unique natural habitat features so predominant along the Moraine. The Authority policies and programs have consistently identified the importance of the moraine within our watershed strategies and in our participation in the 1994 Provincial Oak Ridges Moraine Strategy. The advancement of our understanding of the Moraines functions will be enhanced by the Groundwater Management Strategy for York Region and our Natural Heritage Strategy currently underway. It is recommended that the Authority support the recent initiatives by the three Regions of York, Peel and Durham in achieving a strong Provincial role in protecting the features and functions of the Moraine. In support of the Regions initiative we will also initiate discussions with the other CA's along the Moraine to identify what studies have been undertaken and those currently underway by the conservation authorities. These discussions will focus on what future coordinated direction the CA's can pursue to assist in the preparation and implementation of a long term strategy for the Oak Ridges Moraine.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Item 9.8 on the October 15th Agenda contams background with respect to the renovations project to accommodate the offices of the Greater Toronto Services Board at the Visitors Centre, Black Creek Pioneer Village October 15, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #9/99 8747 RATIONALE The Authority has received tenders from three construction firms as follows: . WA Stephenson Management Limited $560,000, . Richard & BA Ryan Limited $460,689. . Mitchell Construction Limited $367,542, The Authority's Architect, Gordon Cheney, and staff are reviewing tenders submitted and will make a recommendation to the Authority on October 29th. The estimated cost of the project is $300,000. It appears from a preliminary review that the mechanical/electrical costs are much higher than the estimates. Mr. Cheney will review with the two lowest bidders the details of their proposals. It may be possible to eliminate the major mechanical change which is part of the specifications This will reduce available space for part of the Authority's food operation but may bring the project within budget. After discussion with the Architect, staff recommends that only the two lowest bids receive further consideration and that the highest bidder's certified cheque should be returned and he be advised that his bid is no longer under consideration.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of excavating fill to create a counter-sunk, off-stream pond in a low lying area between the existing house and the Duffin Creek; to place fill material to eliminate a depression in the front yard; and to replace and relocate the existing septic system outside the flood plain on the property. The reason for filling in the depression is that it is hazardous to cut the lawn in this portion of the front yard. Filling of the depression has already commenced in violation of Ontario Regulation 158 (Violation Files: V-1773, V-1774, and V-1775). The entire lands are located within the Fill Regulated Area of the Duffin Creek; the existing dwelling and the majority of the yard areas are outside the Regional Storm flood plain. Control of Flooding: The depression in the front yard, which is situated at the fringe of the Regional Storm flood plain, measures an area of approximately 4,5 metres by 7,6 metres and will be filled to a depth of 0.4 metres. This represents a total volume of under 14 cubic metres (roughly one truck load of fill). The volume of fill removed for the proposed off-stream pond, which is entirely within the flood plain, will be approximately 278 cubic metres (15.2m X 3O.5m X 0,6 m deep), All filled material excavated from the pond will be taken off-site. This minor amount of filling in a depression at the flood fringe will not affect the control of flooding. Pollution: A silt fence will be installed between the proposed off-stream pond and the Duffin Creek to impede the overland migration of construction-generated sediments. The filled depression is located east of the proposed pond and is 80 metres from the watercourse.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by-staff on the basis.of the following information: November 5, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #10/99 8765 Proposal: The proposal involves two separate works, The first is the installation of a storm sewer outfall with a drop structure down the steep Cudmore Creek Valley wall to Cudmore Creek, which will be constructed through an auguring and tunneling method. The second is to provide approximately 35 metres of slope drainage and toe protection works which extend into the watercourse, south of the outfall, to ensure the stability of the valley slope at that location. Access to the outfall site is both from the tableland at the top of the slope and from the Old Pottery road right of way which is located within the valley on the opposite side of the watercourse. A temporary culvert crossing of the watercourse is required and will also be used to access the toe protection/slope drainage works. There is an extensive history on this site, The site of the subdivision which is to be serviced by the outfall and toe protection/slope stabilization works, was previously filled, creating a steeply incised valley feature with unstable slopes. Since the filling, the valley slope has revegetated with trees and shrubs. The draft plan of subdivision was approved at the Ontario Municipal Board with draft conditions to deal with the technical issues raised by the filling. This permit application satisfies some of these conditions. This site was the home of the infamous "Bayview Ghost". Control of Flooding: The works are located outside of the Regional Storm floodplain, The works adjacent to the watercourse are at grade so that the conveyance of storm flows will not be affected. Pollution: Sediment control fencing between the works and the watercourse and a temporary rock check dam on-line to the watercourse will be used during construction to ensure no sediment leaves the site and enters the Don River. All disturbed lands will be restored with a native seed mix immediately following work. Conservation of Land: The toe protection/slope stabilization works is composed of riverrun stone along the watercourse channel up to the level of the 10 year flow conveyance. Above that, erosion matting underlayed by french drains will be installed to an elevation up to the 100 year flow conveyance, The result will have the affect of stabilizing the existing valley slope and thereby protecting the watercourse, treed valley slope and the proposed residential housing development on the adjacent tableland. The sewer is being installed by auguring and tunneling to minimize the area of impact on a natural portion of the Cudmore Creek valley wall; the disturbed areas will be replanted with trees and shrubs and seeded following construction. The temporary culvert to access the two sites will be installed under dry flow conditions and removed upon completion of the work, The remaining river run stone will be incorporated into the slope works. Cudmore Creek is a tributary of the Don River. There is no in-situ fish habitat. Authorization is not required from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. 8766 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #10/99 November 5. 1999 Policy Guidelines: The works are being undertaken in accordance with section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The design of the permanent bridges will not affect the conveyance of flood waters, Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be in place during construction. A rehabilitation plan outlining how the area will be stabilized has been submitted and found satisfactory by staff. The Region has included in the proposal, some of the infrastructure required t~ facilitate the construction of a retrofit, stormwater management facility to treat an existing developed area for water quality, Conservation of Land: An extensive rehabilitation plan has been submitted in support of the proposed works. An inventory of the existing vegetation has been undertaken and submitted. Rehabilitation includes relocation of plant material where feasible, replacement of lost vegetation and enhancement planting. The works will result in a harmful.gJteration.to-fish habitat and -therefore require Authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The plans include the installation of several fish habitat structures including root wads, rock vanes and L.U.N.K.E.R. structures. The works will result in an overall enhancement to the features and functions of Langstaff Ecopark.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The Site The subject site is legally known as Part Lots 61 to 64, Concession 1 EYS and Part Lots 3 and 4, Concession 2 EYS and is located north of Stouffville Sideroad, east of Yonge Street, west of Bayview, in the Town of Richmond Hill. A portion of the site is located east of the proposed Bayview Avenue extension, The site is approximately 290 hectares in size and is known as the Yonge East Secondary Planning Area. The subject site is entirely located on the Oak Ridges Moraine with a substantial portion of lands internally draining, thereby directly recharging the ground water supply. Significant natural features of the site include a portion of the Jefferson Forest, tributaries of the Rouge River, Bond Lake and Bond Lake Bog, which has been identified as an Environmentally Significant Area In addition, there are several other wetland features which together with Bond Lake and Bond Lake - Bog have been. included ~ .part of. the-- provincially -significant Philips-Bond- Thompson Wetland Complex, The site is presently not Fill Regulated; however, through the Authority's Fill Une Extension Program, Fill Lines are proposed to be extended along the tributaries of the Rouge River and to encircle Bond Lake and Bond Lake Bog, See attached map. 8778 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #10/99 November 5, 1999 Richmond Hill Planning Background On October 20, 1999, a Special Council Meeting of Richmond Hill was held in order to report to Council and the public on the completion of the Growth Management Study and provide recommendations for implementing the Growth Management Strategy and Environmental Corridor Study, Over the past several years, the Town of Richmond Hill has undertaken a number of studies in order to assist in the preparation of new Official Plan policies. The Town undertook a Growth Management Study together with an Environmental Corridor Study and a Transportation study. The purpose of the Growth Management Study was to provide a comprehensive analysis of the long term growth needs of the Town and identify appropriate locations for future growth in order to meet the population demands placed on the municipality by the Region. Among the conclusions reached in the Growth Management Study was that the Town would continue to experience significant growth pressures which cquld result in all of the Town being urbanized. The Richmond Hill Environmental Corridor Study (Corridor Study) was undertaken for the lands on the Oak Ridges Moraine which have significant natural heritage features and functions and at the same time are subject to significant development pressures. The Corridor Study identified those lands which because of their environmental sensitivity need to be recognized and protected from urban development. The core natural features, including Environmentally Significant Areas, Provincially Significant Wetlands, are to be protected through policies with the highest level of protection, The connection linking the core features east-west along the Oak Ridges Moraine and north-south with the valley and stream corridors of the three watersheds of the Don, Humber, and Rouge Rivers provides for the natural corridor system. TRCA staff comments on the Corridor Study supported a naturally vegetated linked corridor system between core natural features in order to allow for habitat and recreational movement, protection of water resources and landform, as well as protection of an east west corridor on the Oak Ridges Moraine. Our concerns with the Corridor Study were with regard to a limited analysis on the ground water function and implementation of the proposed corridors, ie, achieving the proposed widths on private tableland. On the basis of these studies Town Council approved a proposed Official Plan Amendment to the Region of York Official Plan for the expansion of the Urban Area of the Town of Richmond Hill by redesignating the balance of the Town's rural areas from "Agricultural and Rural Policy Area" to "Urban Policy Area", This amendment will require the approval of the Region of York. The Town intends that the planning for the expanded urban area will take place on the basis of comprehensive Secondary Plans based on concession block boundaries and subject to the preparation of ,Master. Environmental .servicing Plans,which-will-delineate in greater detail the boundaries of the core areas and environmental corridors as well as address servicing, ground water management, transportation and phasing of development to ensure the orderly development of the community, November 5, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #10/99 8779 The policies of the York Region Official Plan identify that the natural functions of the Oak Ridges Moraine be managed to provide a balance between the natural environment and growth expectations, Given the recent Town Council approval on urban expansion and through the Growth Management Study, the Environmental Corridor Study and the Town's requirements for Master Environmental and Servicing Plans prior to the approval of Secondary Plans, the Town staff report identified that it is the position of the Town that the policies of York Region with regard to the Oak Ridges Moraine have been satisfied. The Region of York and the Province of Ontario have not identified their formal positions on the private applications which have been referred to the OMB. The Town of Richmond Hill also has not identified their formal position or concerns with the subject applications; however through Council direction, the Town will request that the OMB consolidate the Town's application to amend the Regional Official Plan. Presently there are 3 large secondary planning areas that are being reviewed by the Town of Richmond Hill, all of which are either entirely on the ORM or contain a portion of the aRM. They are known as Yonge East, subject of the appeal, Yonge West located between Bathurst and Yonge Streets, south of King Road, and North Leslie located between Bayview and Hwy 404, north of Elgin Mills to Stouffville Road. Authority staff are involved in the review of MESP documents for each of the secondary planning areas; however, Secondary Plan policies have not yet been drafted. RATIONALE The Appeal The amendments and plans of subdivision have been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board on the basis that the Councils' of York Region and Town of Richmond Hill have not yet made a decision. The York Region Official Plan, approved in 1995 designated the lands Rural Policy Area, Significant Forested Lands and Regional Greenlands System. The Town of Richmond Hill Official Plan, approved in 1991 designated the lands Rural Area and Major Open Space, The purpose of the amendments and associated plans of subdivision would be to redesignate the lands Urban Area allowing for a mixture of residential, major institutional, major open space and hazard land uses. A Prehearing Conference of the Ontario Municipal Board has been scheduled for November 19, 1999. A Hearing date has not yet been scheduled. TRCA Proaram and Policv Interests The Authority has well established roles in the protection and maintenance of natural heritage features and their functions as they relate to valley and stream corridors, ESA's and surface water management. Authority staff also recognize the importance of the Moraine functions and the necessity to maintain and protect existing ground water resource function as it relates to the supply of baseflow to the surface watercourse features and as a source of water for maintaining the existing characteristics and functions .of~the,-flatural heritage -features. - In .order for Authority staff to recommend approval of a land use change, technical information and studies must demonstrate no negative impact to the functions of the natural resources. Wrth regards to the Yonge East Secondary Planning Area and the subject of this appeal, staff have undertaken a preliminary review of the MESP. There are several Authority interests that need to be addressed and resolved. , 8780 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #10/99 November 5, 1999 Protection of the natural heritage features - Bond Lake Bog has been identified as an Environmental Significant Area (ESA) by the Authority in 1982. Bond Lake Bog together with Bond Lake is designated as Provincially Significant. It is a self contained internally draining kettle lake system with a highly diverse terrestrial component supporting 21 rare vegetation species (as identified by MNR). Development is proposed within the drainage catchment area It is the opinion of staff that no development should take place within the catchment in order to maintain the ground water recharge function, ensure water quality and enhance the wetland habitat functions, In addition to Bond Lake and Bog, there are several other provincially significant wetland features on and adjacent to the subject site. The Provincially Significant Wetlands on site and west of the site belong to the Philips/Bondrrhompson Wetland Complex. The Wetlands north and east of the site belong to the Wilcox Lake Wetlands and Uplands (as identified by the MNR). All of the wetland features and their functions must be protected from development with appropriate ecological buffers. The Corridor Study recommended both east west and north south vegetated corridor systems linking the core wetland features on site to those immediately adjacent to the site and providing a linkage to Jefferson Forest and the Rouge River Valley Corridor to the south and east. This corridor allows terrestrial habitat to complete their life cycle, certain species require both wetland habitat and upland forest and a means for movement. Further, by providing these green space linkage corridors, that portion of the natural ground water recharge function can be maintained by allowing natural infiltration. Staff are not in agreement with the recommendations of the MESP which identify one corridor linking Bond Lake to Jefferson Forest, which given its proposed width and length will not permit adequate habitat movement. The MESP identifies most of the wetlands as isolated with no naturally vegetated corridor system. It is questionable at this time whether an Environmental Impact Statement has been undertaken in accordance with Provincial Policy, There are headwater tributaries of the Rouge River originating on site. These tributaries have been recognized in the Authority's Fill Line Extension Program. The proposed plans identify the protection of the valley features; however, stormwater management facilities are proposed within the valley. Staff must determine whether the location and function of the facilities are appropriate and that adequate ecological buffering of the valley features have been maintained. Surface and Ground Water Management - Although there are surface water outlets to the Rouge Watershed, a portion of the site is internally drained. That is, water infiltrates the ground and provides ground water recharge. Through stormwater management for the site, it must be demonstrated that the ground water recharge function is maintained as well as ensuring baseflow supply to the surface water and natural heritage features. Stormwater management must satisfy TRCA technical criteria for quantity and quality control to ensure no increase in flooding or erosion downstream. From our preliminary review, staff are not yet confident that the methods proposed to ensure no negative impact to the natural features or surface and ground water management functions have been adequately addressed. Staff need to continue discussions and resolve issues through the MESP so that secondary plan policies can be formulated ensuring environmental protection and enhancement. These policies could then be reflected in draft plans of subdivision and zoning amendments, November 5, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #10/99 8781 WORKS TO BE DONE At this time it is difficult for Authority staff to identify all the parties to this Hearing and what items will form part of the Issues Ust, From our preliminary review of the MESP, there are TRCA environmental and technical issues that remain outstanding. It is recommended that staff be authorized to appear at the Prehearing Conference of the Ontario Municipal Board on November 19, 1999 on the referrals made by 1133373 Ontario Inc, and Bond Lake Investors Inc. Staff will request party status in order to maintain full involvement in the planning process and ensure that Authority interests form part of the list of issues which need to be addressed and resolved. Authority staff will continue to pursue resolution of issues in cooperation with the public agencies, the appellants and other relevant parties to the Hearing, Once the date of the Hearing has been establishe.d or when all issues have been finalized, Authority staff will report back on whether party status should be maintained and whether legal representation is required, For information contact: Janet Foster, extension 5282 Date: October 29, 1999 Attachments (1) 8782 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #10/99 November 5, 1999 Attachment 1 '-- \ - V' 4. - ~ '\ ~ '- --' -",,.. ~. ~\ ....:A:-if ~ ~ -<..\ " ~~ ~l. ~'--; ~ ..

The Authority is in receipt of a request from the York Catholic District School Board to lease approximately 4,5 acres (1.82 hectares) of Authority-owned lands in the vicinity of Rutherford Road and Islington Avenue (Boyd North), Humber River Watershed, City of Vaughan, Moved by: Gerri Lynn O'Connor Seconded by: Ron Moeser THAT the potential lease of tableland in the vicinity of Rutherford Road and Islington Avenue (Boyd North), Humber River Watershed, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, be referred to Authority staff for review in accordance with established Authority policies; AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action .......................................... CARRIED BACKGROUND This issue is being brought to your attention in accordance with Resolution #A289/94, adopted by the members of the Authority at a meeting held on January 27, 1995. This resolution requires staff to bring requests for the purchase or lease of Authority lands forward and requires Executive Committee direction for staff to open discussions with the proponent. The Authority is in receipt of a request from the York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) regarding the possibility of leasing approximately 4.5 acres (1.82 hectares) of Authority-owned tablelands at Rutherford Road and Islington Avenue, within the Boyd North property. The subject lands are situated in Part of Lot 16, Concession 7 WYS, on the east side of Islington Avenue immediately north of lands owned by the YCDSB. The YCDSB is currently negotiating the possible sale of approximately 4.5 acres of land to the Archdiocese of Toronto to accommodate a new church site at the north east corner of Rutherford Road and Islington Avenue. In turn, the YCDSB would like to lease the same amount of lands from the Authority which it will use for recreational uses associated with the future high school site, The Authority recently adopted the Boyd North and Glasco Park Management Plan, which includes the lands subject to this request by the YCDSB. The lands have been identified as a "Public Use- Low to Moderate" management zone, which would allow for sports fields and outdoor recreational uses. As such, the potential lease of these lands to the YCDSB for outdoor recreational use would be in accordance with the adopted Management Plan. Authority staff has met with representatives from the YCDSB, the Archdiocese and the City of Vaughan to discuss the potential lease of these lands. While the YCDSB would prefer to purchase the property, Authority staff has advised a long-term lease for recreational use would be the extent of any proposal for these lands. In return, the Authority would receive monetary compensation based on fair market value of the lands. 8784 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #10/99 November 5, 1999 DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Authority staff will continue discussions with the YCDSB regarding a possible lease of the subject lands and undertake an assessment of the property subject to this request, and report back to a future meeting of the Executive Committee. FINANCIAL DETAILS It is proposed that the proceeds from the lease of these lands would be utilized to support Authority programs and operations.

Duffy's Lane ESA #131 and Vance Donaldson ESA #34 are located to the east and south of the subject property, The former being located within Authority-owned lands contiguous with the subject property; the latter being in very close proximity to Authority- owned lands. Wrth a long term objective of rehabilitating the site, the features, functions and attributes of the ESAs could be enhanced. . This site is located within an Earth Science ANSI. Public ownership of these lands helps to protect the features and functions for which these areas are identified. . Our records identify a regionally significant wetland to the west of the subject site. Staff is aware the MNR biologists are currently undertaking additional field work in this area. The results of this work may include upgrading of the current evaluation (class 7). December 10, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #11/99 8802 The most significant value of this parcel, in conjunction with the adjacent Authority owned lands is related to size and configuration. With increasing pressure for urban expansion, large publicly owned parcels allow for the protection of habitat nodes and corridors that contain a variety of habitat and vegetation types, diverse topography and good connectivity. In light of the above, staff would not support the disposal of this parcel of land. A Plan illustrating this location is attached.

The Authority is in receipt of a request, to consider disposing of Authority-owned tableland abutting the rear of 105 to 131 Gidleigh Park Crescent, located north of Langstaff Road, arid west of Highway 27 in the City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York. Moved by: Mike Tzekas Seconded by: Gerri Lynn O'Connor THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Authority-owned tableland at the rear of 105 to 131 Gidleigh Park Crescent being part Block 105, Plan 65M-3067, be retained for conservation purposes ............................................... CARRIED BACKGROUND The Members of the Executive Committee, at meeting #9/99, held on October 15, 1999, adopted resolution #B14/99, THA T the potential disposal of tableland at the rear of 105 to 131 Gidleigh Park Crescen~ being part Block 105, Plan 65M-3067, be referred to the Authority staff for review in accordance with established Authority policies; AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action. The Authority is in receipt of a proposal from the property owners of Gidleigh Park Crescent, abutting a parcel of Authority-owned tableland at the rear of Lots 105 to 131, to consider conveying same to them, The subject lands form part of the hazardous lands that were conveyed to the Authority through the registration of the Advell Plan (19T -89055). In support of the Advell plan of subdivision, a top of bank walk was undertaken. Additionally, a geotechnical report was prepared to assess the stability of the slope. The approved development limit, as reflected in the draft plan, was based on the limit of the valley corridor as defined in the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program for well-defined valley systems with unstable slopes, Public ownership of the valleylands, including tableland within the stable slope line, is the best mechanism for ensuring the protection of private property without the need for engineered solutions to slope stability. As such, staff do not support the disposal of these lands, A Plan illustrating this location is attached, Report prepared by: Mike Fenning, extension 5223 Date: November 12, 1999 Attachments (1) 8805 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #11/99 December 10, 1999 Attachment 1 -----, ~U, -?,; hJr2 ~. ~.. - \ .. t.

Receipt of a request from The Terraces of Old Mill Developments Incorporated for the Authority to enter into a Limiting Distance Agreement relating to a 9 metre strip of Authority owned land in the vicinity of Bloor Street West and Humber Boulevard, Humber River Valley, City of Toronto (Etobicoke District). Moved by: Mike Tzekas Seconded by: Gerri Lynn O'Connor B807 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #11/99 December 10, 1999 THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Authority enter into a Limiting Distance Agreement with The Terraces of Old Mill Developments Incorporated relating to a 9 metre strip of Authority-owned land containing approximately .032 hectares (.079 acres), more or less, and being legally described as Part of Block X, Kingsway Plan M-416, City of Toronto (Etobicoke District); THAT the compensation be the lump sum of $10,000 payable to the Authority; THAT Gardiner, Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, be retained to assist in the execution of the necessary legal documentation pertaining to this matter; THAT the City of Toronto be consulted with regards to any comments and/or concerns they may have specific to the granting of this Agreement between the Authority and The Terraces of Old Mill Developments Incorporated; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND Authority staff are in receipt of a request from The Terraces of Old Mill Developments Inc. for the Authority to enter into a Limiting Distance Agreement. The Terraces of Old Mill Development are constructing an 11 storey apartment building at 2666 Bloor Street West, and through the detailed design process have discovered a Building Code infraction relating to the limiting distance between the east wall of the proposed building and the east property line. This infraction has been confirmed by the City of Toronto Building Department (Etobicoke District). A remedy to this infraction is to enter into a Limiting Distance Agreement with the adjacent property owner, which in this instance is the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. This agreement would need to be registered on title of our property, and would stipulate that the Authority is not able to construct a building which infringes into the area subject to this agreement. The area in question is a rectangular shaped parcel of valley side slope associated with the Humber River, and measures approximately 9 metres in Width by 35 metres in length, for a total area of approximately .032 hectares (,079 acres). These lands are identified on Attachment 1. These lands consist of well vegetated, steep valley side slope which was acquired by the Authority by expropriation in 1958, The Umiting Distance Agreement will not place any legal or physical impediments on the Authority's holdings with respect to our program or policy objectives. Prior to entering into this agreement, Authority staff will consult with the City of Toronto to ensure they have no objections to this arrangement, and to safeguard any interests they may have. Staff has confirmed with our solicitors that an Order-in-Council from the Province will not be required to facilitate this request. December 10, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #11/99 B808 RATIONALE The Authority has previously entered into Limiting Distance Agreements in similar situations. It has been Authority practice to require compensation for the encumbrance posed on our lands, as well as to off-set the cost of staff time and any associated legal fees. I n this instance, $10,000 is deemed as fair compensation. The Terraces of Old Mill Developments Incorporated have agreed to remit these funds to the Authority in exchange for the Limiting Distance Agreement.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At its meeting #6/99, held on July 9, 1999, the Executive Committee passed the following resolution: Res, #B 113/99 "THA T staff continue to consult with our partners, other agencies and groups regarding the status of groundwater management within our jurisdiction and to facilitate the completion of Phase One of a Work Program for developing a Groundwater Management Strategy for York, Durham and Peel Regions; AND FURTHER THAT staff solicit a request for proposals to complete Phase One." As per this direction, Authority staff have met with staff of the Regions of York, Peel and Durham and the other associated conservation authorities, The Regions of York and Peel and the Credit Valley and Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authorities are supportive of proceeding with the first phase of a two phase work program, which involves the following tasks: Phase One . development of overall planning goals and objectives for the strategy . compilation of existing information . development of detailed work program for Phase 2 studies in conjunction with the .:rRCA and others, Phase Two . identification of primary issues with respect to ground water management . development of overall ground water management strategy . development of planning tools for implementation of strategy . development of long term monitoring program, 8817 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #11/99 December 10, 1999 . Considering the extensive database already assembled within the Credit Valley Conservation's (CVC) portion of the Region of Peel, it was agreed that the study area for the Phase One work in Peel would be limited to the TRCA's jurisdiction, but that the CVC would participate in the study to ensure consistency in the second phase studies. During discussions with the Region of Durham, it was recognized that a different approach was warranted in Durham due to a number of ongoing initiatives, The TRCA has initiated the development of watershed management strategies for the Duffins Creek and Carruthers Creek watersheds, which include a groundwater component. Significant groundwater studies and analyses have already been undertaken in the Duffins watershed by the University of Toronto, among others. The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority is developing a watershed strategy for the Wilmot Creek, which has involved groundwater studies. The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) has assembled groundwater data and mapping for its jurisdiction. On behalf of the five conservation authorities in the Region of Durham, CLOCA is taking the lead in developing a proposed groundwater management program for the Region of Durham. TRCA staff will ensure consistency with the efforts in other regions, particularly those on the Oak Ridges Moraine, and will report back at a future Executive Committee meeting with details of this proposal. ANALYSIS Study terms of reference were prepared and an upset limit was established at $25,000 including GST. Proposals were invited from six consulting firms, of which Earth Tech (Canada) Inc, declined and Totten Sims Hubicki Associates Umited joined with another team. The resulting four teams and their bids are as follows: 1. AGRA Earth and Environmental ($23,124 +GST = $24,743) 2, Dillon Consulting Engineers ($24,888 + GST = $26.630) 3, Gartner Lee Associates Ltd, ($25,000 + GST = $26,750) 4. Marshall Macklin Monaghan Ltd, ($23,34 +GST = $24,974). A Selection Committee, consisting of representatives from York and Peel Regions and the Credit Valley, Lake Simcoe Region and Toronto Region Conservation Authorities are evaluating the proposals according to the following criteria: . understanding of the scope of work involved in developing an effective groundwater management strategy . past experience . qualifications of individual team members . approach . quality of proposal . cost. Based on an overall evaluation, the Selection Committee recommends that the consulting team represented by AGRA Earth & Environmental Limited is best qualified to undertake the work. The rationale for this choice is based on the following factors: understanding of the importance of ground-surface water interactions; experience in hydrogeological and watershed studies; qualifications of the team members in the areas of hydrogeology, integrated watershed management, and database management; and they had the lowest bid. December 10, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #11/99 6818 BENEFITS Groundwater plays an important role in the maintenance of aquatic habitat in streams, kettle lakes, and wetlands, It is also an important resource for utilization of water supply in many communities, A groundwater management strategy will help ensure protection of the natural features and processes that maintain these components of watershed health. The groundwater management strategy will form the basis from which the Regions can develop the groundwater component of their long term strategy for the Oak Ridges Moraine. The information compiled in Phase One and the subsequent direction arising from the phase two studies will provide guidance for the preparation of Master Environmental Servicing Plans, associated municipal Secondary Plans, and private development plans in the municipalities. FINANCIAL DETAILS The funding sources and total budget for the Phase 1 study in York and Peel Regions are as follows: Region of York Capital $15,000 Region of Peel Capital $10,000 TOTAL: $ 25,000 All funding has been committed and is available in accounts 111-02 and 112-90.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 8837 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #11/99 December 10, 1999 Proposal: The proposal consists of placing fill material as part of the construction of a stormwater management facility for the Elmway Developments Ltd, residential subdivision (File: 19T- 94002). Another application (305/99/RH - CFN 30745) is being considered on this agenda for a sanitary trunk sewer to service the subdivisions in this vicinity. There is no defined valley corridor through this reach of the East Humber River. The proposed water quantity/quality control facility will be bermed to correspond with the final grade of the adjacent lots within the subdivision. As a result, the berms (Le, north side of the facility) will extend into the Regional Storm flood plain of the East Humber River; the entire facility is located within the Fill Regulated Area, Control of Floodina: As part of staffs comments on the circulated draft plan of subdivision, the project consultant prepared a hydraulic impact analysis for the portion of berm that extends into the Regional Storm flood plain (the facility is outside the 100 year flood plain). Subsequently, staff reviewed the analysis and is satisfied that the proposed fill placement will not affect the control of flooding on upstream or adjacent lands. In regards to stormwater management, the facility has been designed to maintain runoff to pre-development flows for the 2 through 100 year return period storms. Pollution: A combination of silt fencing, rock check dams, and half bulk heads within the storm sewer system will be used to control sedimentation during construction. In addition, the facility will be used as a temporary silt basin to trap construction-generated sediments. Post-development water quality will be controlled by maintaining a permanent pool in the stormwater management facility for treatment of suspended solids contained in storm runoff; aquatic vegetation will be planted in the permanent pool, in addition to woody and herbaceous plants on the banks above the water line, to enhance water quality prior to outletting. Conservation of Land: During the review of the draft plan of subdivision, Authority and Town of Richmond Hill staff ensured that the existing Environmental Protection Areas (EPA). as designated under Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 129, were appropriately delineated on-site and protected from any impacts from this as well as adjoining developments, A 10 metre buffer has been established between the project facility and the EPA's. The treated stormwater leaving the ponds will outlet through and spread across the buffer area; therefore, there will be. no impact on fish habitat since outfalls will not be constructed into the East Humber River. As mentioned above, native woody, herbaceous, and aquatic vegetation will stabilize all areas following construction, Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 -Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, as well as the Functional Servicing Report for this portion of the OPA 129 lands.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: As a first phase of the development of a Software Facility by IBM Canada Ltd., the proponent is proposing to regrade to facilitate the construction of three office buildings and a 1458 space parking lot, construct an extended detention pond for the treatment of runoff and erosion control, and construct two infiltration basins designed to infiltrate rooftop drainage (12.5 mm storm over a 12 hour period). The subject lands are partially within the Fill Regulated Area and the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Rouge River. The valley feature through this reach varies from being well defined to ill-defined. A top of bank has been established for the eastern most portion of the site. The Rouge River and Beaver Creek tributary join at the confluence immediately south of the subject lands, Because of this feature, and as a result of a backwater from Warden Avenue, which is just down stream, the Regional Storm Flood Plain limit rises above the valley feature into areas historically cultivated. Generally, the valley slopes and riparian area are well treed. The limits of the current zoning which allows for the proposed development extend into the Regional Storm Flood Plain within the agricultural lands. Control of Flooding: Thirty-five of the proposed 1458 parking spaces are proposed within the flood plain, The maximum depth of flooding at this location is approximately 0,25 m under very low velocities of flow. Generally the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) does not allow for the consideration of new development in the flood plain; however, the parking spaces are required to provided a minimum number of spaces in close proximity to the proposed office buildings. Other possible locations-that were considered-for parking outside of the flood plain were constrained by the site configuration or other natural resource features that required protection. The flood risks for the parking lot are low, and the depths and velocities meet the minimum flood proofing standards for parking lots as outlined in the VSCMP. Although the parking spaces are proposed in the flood plain they are located within the agricultural field where there will be no significant change in grade and no impact on the control of flooding. December 10, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #11/99 8850 he proposed storm water management strategy and pond design meets the criteria as identified for the Rouge River Watershed and as specified in the Markham Centre Study Stormwater and Flood Plain Management Study for OPA 21. The pond is proposed to be excavated in the flood plain, outside of the 100 year storm limit and outside of the defined valley feature, All excavated material will be removed from the flood plain and there will be no increase in grades. Flood characteristics of the reach will not be impacted by this work. As a feature of the parking lot, storm water will be directed to several "bio swales" that will provide a pretreatment of the surface runoff before it enters the detention pond, Also, the clean runoff from the roof tops of the buildings will be directed to two infiltration basins that will promote recharging of the ground water, These features are not in the flood plain and enhance the overall stormwater management for the site, · Pollution: The storm water detention pond will be used to control sediment from the site until construction is complete and the site is stabilized. In addition, sediment fencing will be installed around the perimeter of the site between the works and the vegetated corridor, and will remain in place until the site is stabilized. Conservation of Land: IBM Canada owns a large block of land which extends from the subject property across the corridor and onto the table land to the south and west of the watercourse, This table land area will be developed as part of the second phase of the works, At this point, IBM is proposing to retain the open space corridor in private ownership; however, they are committed to naturalizing the corridor by undertaking extensive tree planting, allowing for a public trail system through the lands, and promoting and maintaining the natural corridor through a conservation easement agreement. All of the proposed development is setback from the stable valley slopes and is outside of any areas of significant vegetation or other natural resource features. A planting plan for a portion of the valley corridor has been reviewed as part of this permit application. Staff are currently working with representatives of IBM Canada to increase the woody planting densities to achieve the forest cover objectives of the draft Rouge Park North Management Plan and the natural features objectives of Markham's Official Plan. Generally speaking there will be about a 50 % coverage of native woody material planted in the open areas to enhance the existing woodland edge. The planting beds and age and type of plant material are designed and selected to promote the regeneration of a forest block within the valley corridor. Policy Guidelines: The Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program does not promote new development in the,flood plain, -However;- staff are prepared to recommend approval of the 35 parking spaces in the flood plain for the following reasons: - the depths and velocities are low and do not pose a significant risk to life and property; - the depths and velocities of flow meet the flood proofing guidelines for parking lots as identified in the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program; - no significant natural resource features or vegetation will be impacted by the works; 8851 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #11/99 December 10, 1999 - the valley/stream corridor is to be planted with significant woody vegetation to meet the reforestation objectives as outlined in the Town of Markham's Official Plan and the draft Rouge Park North Management Plan; - the site is being developed incorporating progressive storm water management techniques for the treatment of water quality and ground water recharge. - other possible locations that were considered for parking outside of the flood plain were constrained by the site configuration or other natural resource features that required protection. In all other regards this proposal is in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Manag~ment Program as it relates to Section 4.1.1 - New Urban Development.

Only the southern quarter of the subject property is located within the Fill Regulated Area of a branch of the Michell Creek, which is a tributary of the Duffin Creek, A small portion of grading around the new house (i.e. south side only) and the end of the septic system mantle area will occur within the Fill Regulation Line. December 10, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #11/99 8852 Control of Floodina: No part of the lands is situated within the Regional Storm flood plain. Pollution: Silt fencing will be installed between the top-of-bank of the adjacent well-defined (and stable) valley wall to impede the overland migration of construction-generated sediments. Conservation of Land: As per staff's previous comments on a related consent application (File: LD 123/98), a 10 metre buffer area was established from the top-of-bank as part of the valley corridor, The 10 metre buffer was rezoned to an Open Space designation which prohibits structures and only allows resource management uses, Part of the mantle area of the proposed septic system extends into the Open Space lands. The applicant is presently revising the site plan to exclude the mantle from the 10 metre buffer area. All filled and disturbed areas will be revegetated following construction; no resource features will be impacted by the proposed works.

ULI BIERI To construct in a flood plain on Block E, Plan 4811, Lot 2, Plan 9867, (100 Canadian Road), in the City of Toronto (Scarborough), Highland Creek Watershed as located on the property owned by 1321645 Ontario Ltd. / Mr. Uli Bieri. The purpose is to construct self storage buildings, The permit will be issued for the period of December 10, 1999 to December 9, 2001 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: . Site Plan Drawing No A1, Project F9904, prepared by Fliess Gates McGowan Easton Architects, dated April 1999 as revised and received on November 8, 1999. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant proposes to construct the first phase of a self storage complex and associated parking and roadway. The lands are partially within the Regulatory Storm Flood Plain adjacent to a channelized section of the Highland Creek, The lands are part of the surplus Ontario.Hydro Corridor and are currently zoned to allow for the proposed industrial facility. The site has been identified as a candidate Special Policy Area (SPA). The property is not currently fill regulated; however, fill lines are proposed to encompass the area in accordance with the Authority's on-going Fill Regulation Extension Program. December 10,1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #11/99 8860 Control of Flooding: The site is partially within the Regulatory Flood Plain. The applicant is proposing to alter the flood plain limits in order to flood proof the proposed buildings. A portion of the site currently flood susceptible will be filled in order to have the individual self storage buildings flood proofed and, a portion of the site, currently not flood susceptible, will be cut in order to offset the impacts of the proposed fill. Part of the proposed parking and one of the three roadway accesses to the site will remain at the flood fringe. Given that this site is flooded as a result of a culvert restriction downstream of the property and, this site is also within a candidate area for Special Policy Area consideration, the method of flood proofing is acceptable to TRCA engineering staff. There will be no negative off site impacts as a result of the proposal. At the site of the proposed works, the depths of flooding under Regulatory Storm conditions is approximately 0.5 metres and the associated velocities are minor at 0,07 metres per second, Pollution: A combination of silt fencing and catchbasin sediment traps will impede the overland migration of construction generated sediments, Site drainage will be tied partially to municipal sewer and partially to the adjacent channelized creek, A stormsceptor will be incorporated to ensure that pollutants do not enter the watercourse, Conservation of Land: All disturbed areas will be stabilized following construction in accordance with landscape plans. Policy Guidelines: It is not necessary that SPA consideration be given to development of this Phase of the project as the proposed cut and fill will effectively remove the proposed buildings from the flood plain. A portion of the parking area and road access are proposed at the flood fringe, Future phases of this proposal are not envisioned to proceed until the SPA process is furthered with the City of Toronto. The proposal meets with the intent of Section 4,2.1 - Development and Redevelopment/Intensification within established Communities/Highly Urbanized Areas - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program regarding this proposal.

CARRIED RATIONALE Further to many recent reports on the issues concerning additional potential development on the Oak Ridges Moraine, preparations are underway for participation at the upcoming Ontario Municipal Board hearings. At a meeting of the City of Toronto's Policy and Finance Committee on December 7, 1999, a report from the City Solicitor, which set out the expected costs of participation by the City of Toronto, as a party, at both the Richmond Hill and Uxbridge hearings was considered. Cost estimates by the City of Toronto staff for legal and consulting services as well as additional contract staff total $1,657,000 for both hearings, TRCA will only be participating in the Richmond Hill hearing as the Uxbridge hearing concerns an application within the jurisdiction of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority. TRCA staff estimate the direct, additional costs of participation as a party at the hearing will total approximately $350,000, Legal fees are estimated to be about $125,000 and hydrogeological and other consulting fees at approximately $75,000. In addition, a substantial commitment of staff time, in preparation of evidence and testimony, in several resource management disciplines will be required and equates to a cost of about $100,000, It may also be necessary to engage further outside expertise to supplement staff resources which would increase our direct costs by about $50,000. These estimates assume that the Authority's issues can be dealt with during approximately 50% of the scheduled 12 week hearing. There may be opportunities for some or all of the municipalities involved, and the TRCA, to join forces and reduce costs. Many of the issues are of mutual concern. However, there are some municipal issues which are beyond TRCA's jurisdiction. It should be possible to work out arrangements to take advantage of existing staff, share legal and consulting expertise and reduce the expenditures associated with completely separate participation.

January 14, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/99 8905 RES.#229/99 - WEB SITE DEVELOPER CONTRACT Approval of selected corporate web site developer. Moved by: Ron Moeser Seconded by: Michael Di Biase THAT the Authority retain the services of Competitor Communications Incorporated (CCI) to develop and execute a corporate web site and Internet communications presence for the TRCA, commencing January 17, 2000 and at a fee not to exceed $45,000, subject to terms and conditions satisfactory to the Authority; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to take such action necessary to complete and implement an agreement satisfactory to the Authority, including signing of documents. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND The world wide web has quickly become a powerful tool for local, national and global communication and education. Recent usage statistics are staggering: · a June 1998 Nielsen Media Research/CommerceNet survey found that the number of North American Internet users aged 16+ had reached 79 million (an increase of 36% in a nine month period) · in June 1999, an Angus Rei~ survey discovered that 12.7 million Canadians (42.3% of the overall population) used the Internet · by September 1999, a NUA Internet Surveys study found that 112.4 million North Americans 16+ and 201 million people worldwide 16+ regularly used the Internet (NUA Internet Surveys, September 1999) · a January 4, 2000 editorial by NUA Internet Surveys staff indicate that by the end of 2000 some 300 million people worldwide will have access to the Internet (an increase of almost 50% in a 16- month span) Internet users are becoming increasingly sophisticated and the current TRCA web site is inadequate to meet the growing demands of its visitors. The TRCA needs a comprehensive and effective web site to communicate its diverse corporate goals and messages to its stakeholders. The TRCA's current site must be restructured and redesigned to be an effective business tool. The TRCA does not have the internal expertise to attempt this massive task and is seeking external support for this function. The TRCA would like to develop its new web site in a modular fashion, allowing for current non-essential components to be added, as required, in future budget years. RATIONALE Multiple TRCA-wide meetings were held in Spring 1999 to understand the specific web needs and wishes for each business unit. -The feedback from these sessions was synthesized into a Request- for-Proposal (RFP) which was sent to 21 web development companies in the greater Toronto area These company names were gathered in 3 ways: · 15 companies were selected from a free, on-line web ranking service (www.mu/timediator.com) that cross-matched our requirements with the strengths of various web developers. Each of these 15 companies had an 83% or higher match with our needs. · 4 companies were selected by our webmaster for their strengths in design, business applications and computer expertise B906 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/99 January 14, 2000 · 2 companies were included based on recommendations from industry professionals and business colleagues Of the 21 RFPs sent out, 1'1 companies submitted proposals. A five person team of TRCA staff individually evaluated each of the submissions in the following manner: Step 1: Each person ranked the top four web developers regardless of cost implications by evaluating: · Did the proposal follow the RFP? · Was the proposal easy to understand? · Did the company respond to our specific requirements? · Do they create innovative, customized sites? · Did they offer reasonable time lines? · The sites created by each company were evaluated based on: 1. Ease of navigation. 2. Creativity and design. 3. Entertainment and interactivity. 4. Clarity. 5. Speed of download. Step 2: Each person ranked their top four selections based on the value of the proposal related to the price quoted. A condensed group of five potential suppliers emerged from that evaluation: Competitor Communications Incorporated (CCI) - $37,000; DaedaJian Systems Group - $51,000; Electra Media - $99,500; Euphoria Media Solutions - $78,200; and Marketspace - $26,100* . * The amount quoted by Marketspace did not include allowances for a database driven site. A verbal estimate for the move to a database site exceeded $10,000, Interviews were arranged with each of these companies. The interview team consisted of the original evaluation team and was supplemented by three other TRCA staff members. Each company was informed, in advance, of the standardized interview structure: an introduction of the TRCA, our complexities and our needs; a presentation by the web developer; and a question and answer period. After the interviews were held, each member of the interview team individually evaluated each company using the following criteria: · Explanation of our basic requirements, including: - were solutions practical and realistic? - were options offered? - were solutions and staff believable? - was there added value? January 14, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/99 8907 · Did they answer our questions satisfactorily? · Did they respond to our specific business needs? · Were there gaps in their package? · Quality of their presentation. · Comfort level. Competitor Communications Incorporated (CCI) emerged as the supplier who could deliver the best value for the fees quoted for both the current task and any future additions that may be required. They also provided the most reasonable and realistic site hosting package of any potential supplier. Their hosting package included an enhanced level of quality control and security, immediate technical support and controlled management of other sites that would co-share the server. The cost for hosting will remain constant indefinitely so long as the our site's bandwidth (determined by our site's functionality for the users and the sheer volume of users) remains within initial expectations. As we add options like audio and video streaming to our basic site, the cost of hosting will increase and a new agreement will be negotiated. The only concern that arises from a partnership with CCI is the use of proprietary software on our site. The current price structure provides allowances for the use of this software but does not include TRCA ownership of the licences (see Contract Draft of Terms). CONTRACT DRAFT OF TERMS TRCA staff have sought legal advice from Gardiner, Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, to facilitate the development of the contract. The TRCA will retain all rights to the content on the web site and will be able to migrate the site to another Internet service provider in the event that the TRCA chooses to terminate its relationship with CCI. Stipulations around proprietary software owned by CCI and included in the TRCA site will be written into the contract to eliminate any issues around future migrations of the site. FINANCIAL DETAILS The initial web site development costs have been budgeted for 2000. A $45,000 amount was allocated to accommodate any minor additions to the original package. Modular additions, as required, will be budgeted for in 2001. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE A comprehensive work schedule will be developed once the vendor has been officially selected. Work is slated to begin mid-January, 2000 and will continue until May 2000. This time line is contingent on TRCA's ability to meet specified deadlines.
