826 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/00 February 11 , 2000
Proposal:
The proposal consists of excavating and replacing fill material as part of the re-a1ignment Holes 1,
17 and 18 of the Markham Golf and Country Club. There are actually 19 fairways on the golf course,
the 18th Hole of the course will now occur on the 19th fairway, which will remain unaltered (i.e. no
grade changes proposed) The reason for the re-a1ignment is to eliminate a serious safety situation
created by golf balls landing on Sixteenth Avenue and on the adjacent parking lot owned by the
Buttonville Airport. The majority of the proposed works are located within the Regional Storm flood
plain; almost the entire site is within the Fill Regulated Area
Control of Flooding:
The earth works proposed for Holes 1 and 17 will match pre-construction grades. The relocated
Tees and Greens for Holes 1 and 17 will be excavated and the replaced fill material (comprised of
a specialized soil mixture for this purpose) will match the adjacent, existing ground elevations at
each site. None of the re-a1igned Holes will occur within the hydraulic floodway Further, as all
fillinglregrading works will match existing grades the control of flooding will not be affected by the
proposed works.
Pollution:
Silt fencing will encircle each work area to impede the overland migration of construction-generated
sediments.
Conservation of Land
All earth works will occur on the floor of the Rouge River valley corridor at this location, no valley
slopes will be impacted by the proposed works. Although the riparian zone will not be disturbed by
the proposed works, the applicant has agreed to plant low growing native shrubs along various
locations of the Rouge River streambanks in the vicinity of the re-aligned fairways. In addition, native
trees will be planted in areas that will not interfere with the playability on this portion of the golf
course All disturbed areas on the re-aligned fairways will be seeded following construction

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal consists of excavating fill material as part of the construction of a new office 1 retail
store building for the existing marina operation. An existing trailer and storage shed, presently being
used as the marina office and store, will be demolished as part of the proposed works. Only the
western third of the subject property is located within the Fill Regulated area of Frenchman's Bay
Only a small portion of the shoreline area is within the flood plain.
Control of Flooding:
The shoreline portion of the property is affected by the 100 year Lake Ontario flood plain. Based on
up-to-date geodetic information provided by the applicant's consultant, the proposed building will
be situated outside the shoreline flood plain (the existing shed and trailer to be removed are also
outside the flood plain) However, in accordance with the Provincial Policy Statement Technical
Guidelines- Section 3 - for Hazard Lands (also includes in-land LakelBay shoreline areas), a
development setback of 15 metres from the 100 year shoreline flood plain elevation is required for
proposed buildings and structures. The 15 metres setback requirement can be reduced if a coastal
study is undertaken, addressing potential hazards at this location such as the analysis of the existing
stable shoreline treatment and verification of flood/Wave uprush limits. The applicant has decided
to move the proposed building beyond the 15 metres setback zone; therefore, the required coastal
study will not be required in support of the proposed works. No fill material will be placed within the
flood plain (all excavated fill will be removed from the site) Therefore, the control of flooding will not
be affected by the proposed works.
Pollution.
Sedimentation is not expected as part of the proposed works, since the construction only involves
the excavation of fill material for the new building foundation. In addition, the existing elevated
concrete and block walls surrounding the construction site will prevent any construction-generated
sediments from entering the Frenchman's Bay
Conservation of Land:
No resource features will be impacted by the proposed works; all disturbed areas will be
stabilized(revegetated following construction.

. Plans prepared by Antonio Visca Architect, Project 9916, Drawings A-1, A-2, A-3, A-
4, and A-5, Revised and received on February 8, 2000.
. Silt Fence Installation Detail Drawing submitted by the applicant; received February
8, 2000.
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 additions
outside the floodplain on the north and west sides of the existing bungalow The proposal also
consists of removing a staircase on the south side of the house which is entirely in the floodplain and
constructing two new ones. Two new staircases will be constructed further north of the existing
staircase along the fringe of the floodplain which enhances the present situation. One staircase will
be constructed entirely within the floodplain and a portion of the second will be constructed in the
floodplain The entire property is located within the Fill Regulated Area. Only the proposed
staircases will be located within the Regional Storm floodplain of the Bruce Creek.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed additions will be located on the sides of the existing bungalow which are outside the
Regional Storm flood plain, therefore floodproofing of the additions is not an issue. The existing
staircase will be removed from the flood plain. One of the two new staircases will be partially in the
floodplain and the second one entirely, however further north in the flood fringe. The new location
of the staircases alleviates some concerns related to flooding. All existing grades within the flood
plain will be maintained as part of the proposed works. Given these considerations the control of
flooding will not be affected by the new development.
Pollution
Silt fencing will be installed adjacent to the work area to impede the overland migration of
construction-generated sediments.
Conservation of Land.
All disturbed areas will be revegetated following construction,-no-significant resource features will
be impacted by the proposed works.

8.1 14 REGION OF YORK
To alter a waterway on Lot 13, Concession 4, (Apple Creek Blvd. And Rodick Road), in
the Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by
Town of Markham
The purpose is to alter a watercourse to facilitate the placement of a 750mm diameter concrete pipe
sanitary sewer through an open cut method
The permit will be issued for the period of February 11, 2000 to February 10, 2002.

. Proposed Restoration Plan dated February 2000 prepared by MacViro.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information.
Proposal.
The purpose is to alter a watercourse through the placement of a 900 mm corrugated steel pipe
(CSP) culvert downstream of the trench for a temporary crossing to allow construction equipment
to cross the channel, and through the blocking of the channel for a total length of 12m up and
downstream of the 2m wide trench with clear stone encased in polyethylene in order to facilitate the
placement of a 750mm diameter concrete pipe sanitary sewer at a depth of 3.3m below the creek
bed The entire project of the York Sanitary sewer extends from Hwy 407 and Warden Avenue
northwesterly to Leslie Street and Major MacKenzie This section of the project is in the southern
area. Although the site is proposed within the fill line extension program the subject site is not
presently fill regulated-area or-within a Regional floodplain
Control of Flooding
There are no flooding concerns. Documentation submitted by MacViro indicated to TRCA staff that
the sizing of the culvert would accommodate frequent flows. Once the sewer pipe has been
installed the trench will be immediately backfilled and graded to match existing contours; therefore,
there will not be a loss of flood storage.
February 11, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/00 835
Pollution:
There are no sediment concerns. During the creek crossing a channel dam consisting of clear stone
encased in polyethylene will be installed up and down stream of the 2m trench Channel flow will
be pumped if necessary and discharge from the by-pass pumping will be into a sediment basin.
In the north, sediment fencing runs parallel to the western side of the stream and in the south runs
parallel to both sides of the proposed sanitary sewer location at a distance 10m The location of the
proposed sanitary sewer was determined during the Environmental Assessm~nt process, therefore,
concerns related to meander belt, erosion zones and slope instability have been addressed
Conservation of Land
TRCA staff have reviewed the proposal and have requested additional details to ensure that the
works do not result in a harmful alteration, destruction or disruption of fish habitat (HADD) Once
the details are received to TRCA's satisfaction a letter of advice will be issued. A restoration plan will
be submitted to TRCA's staff for review and approval.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal is consistent with Section 4.3 (B) - "Infrastructure and Servicing" - of the Authority's
Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program

B36 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/00 February 11 . 2000
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal
The proposal consists of excavating and replacing fill material as part of the installation of a 2100
millimetre diameter trunk sanitary sewer Authority staff had previously reviewed an Environmental
Assessment Act (EM) application (File CFN 25937) for the entire route of the proposed trunk
sanitary sewer project. The entire project extends from Highway 407 and Warden Avenue
northwesterly to Leslie Street and Major MacKenzie Drive. The construction of the sewer has been
divided into five separate contracts due to the availability of land and the large capital cost
associated with the project. At this time, the Region of York is proceeding with this section of the
trunk sanitary sewer installation from Highway 404 to Leslie Street. For the most part, the sewer will
occur within the Fill Regulated Area of the Rouge River; however, some sections will be within the
Regional Storm flood plain
Control of Flooding:
All post-construction grades will match pre-c:levelopment ground elevations along the trunk sanitary
sewer installation route. Therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed
works.
Pollution.
The entire working easement will be isolated by silt fencing to impede the overland migration of
construction-generated sediments. In addition, settling pond sediment traps will be used for
dewatering of the open trench where necessary Staff are awaiting details from the Project Manager
from MacViro concerning possibility of excess groundwater flow problems and considering the
recent concern with the high groundwater table.
Conservation of Land:
Through staffs review of the EM application, the proposed route was carefully chosen to eliminate
interference with steep portions of the Rouge River valley corridor and riparian zone areas. The
majority of the route will follow gentler portions of the valley wall and will limit disturbances of existing
valley vegetation The trunk sanitary sewer will be augured beneath the one steep (and well-
vegetated) section of valley wall found at the north end of this contract. All valley vegetation
disturbed by the proposed works will be replaced with native woody species and ground covers.
Policv Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and
Stream Corridor Management Program and the related EM application for this project.

RES.#B13/00 - EVALUATION OF HIGH RATE TREATMENT OF COMBINED SEWER
OVERFLOWS - NORTH TORONTO DEMONSTRATION PROJECT
Hire of consultant to analyse baseline monitoring data and serve as a project
advisor
Moved by' John Adams
Seconded by' Ron Moeser
THAT David Averill of Questor Veritas Inc. be retained to provide consulting services to the
Authority's SWAMP Program for the North Toronto Combined Sewer Overflow High Rate
Treatment Demonstration Project at a cost not to exceed $15,100 plus GST . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The High Rate Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Treatment Project, being conducted at the City of
Toronto's North Toronto Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), is a continuation of a pilot project started
in 1994. The initial project was led by the former City of Scarborough, Ministry of the Environment,
and Environment Canada. It studied the performance of a CSO treatment technology, called a
Vortex Separator, which was installed on a pilot basis at a Scarborough Works Yard near Taylor-
Massey Creek. The study found that the Vortex Separator was very effective at removing coarse
solids and grit, but was poor at removing total suspended solids (TSS) As the Provincial CSO Policy
specifies a removal criterion for suspended solids, the study was extended in order to investigate
alternative designs that may enhance TSS removal. One promising alternative involves the addition
of a chemical polymer, similar to that used in Water Filtration Plants, that promotes coagulation of
solids. This process was successfully tested at the Massey Creek pilot site, and in 1998 plans were
made to test the process at the CSO Detention Tank at the North Toronto STP to see if the
technology could be transferred to other locations.
The North Toronto High Rate CSO Treatment Project is an initiative of the City of Toronto, Ministry
of the Environment and Environment Canada In 1999, the Authority's Stormwater Assessment and
Monitoring Performance (SWAMP) Program was contracted to assist in the technology evaluation
by carrying out baseline monitoring and ongoing sample collection. The SWAMP Program is an
initiative of the Authority, Ministry of the Environment, Ministry of Transportation, Environment
Canada, and the Municipal Engineers Association, aimed at evaluating new and innovative
stormwater management technologies.
The SWAMP Program Steering Committee has identified a need to hire consulting services to
analyse baseline data, prepare a baseline monitoring study report, and provide advice during the
completion of the evaluation project at the North Toronto site.
February 11 , 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/00 B43
RATIONALE
The SWAMP Program Steering Committee has recommended that David Averill of Questor Veritas
Inc. is the best qualified individual to carry out the services required. Mr Averill served as project
manager for the High Rate Treatment evaluation, since its beginnings in 1994 Mr Averill had been
employed with Water Technology International, which held a federal government contract for the
High Rate CSO Treatment project until March, 1999 Mr Averill now operates his own private
consulting firm He has over 25 years experience in wastewater treatment technologies and is a
world-renowned expert in chemical coagulation. Considering that this is the final year of a six year
project, it would take anyone other than Mr Averill a significant amount of time to become familiar
with the project history to such a point that they could provide effective advice and reliable
interpretation of results. Consequently, it is likely that the engagement of any other person to carry
out this task would result in a higher cost in consulting fees.
BENEFITS
Improved understanding of the performance of combined sewer overflow treatment technologies
will assist the City of Toronto in the development and implementation of its Wet Weather Flow Master
Plan. Remediation of CSOs has been identified as a high priority by the Don and Humber River
Watershed Strategies and the Toronto and Region Remedial Action Plan.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Funding has been provided by Environment Canada's Great Lakes 2000 Clean Up Fund, as part of
its 1999-2000 grant in support of the SWAMP Program These funds are available in account 121-
30.

RE. application for service road,
Chapman Valley Chief A<jlllinlstrn~or's O11ica
Dear Mr. O'Brien,
I am writing in regard to the application to approve a service road in the
Chapman Valley I am a life long resident of Chapman Road and have used the
valley for recreational purposes since I was a young child. More recently, my
husband and I have used it for educatIOnal putposes for OUI own children and the
students at Valleyfield and Westmount Schools.
I am very disturbed that any undertaking that could have an impact on the
health of the (environmentally SIgnificant) Valley has not been offered to the public
for consultation. It seems obvious to me that the City is trying to get this permit
application approved as quietly as possible. Luckily, the residents of the Chapman
Valley community got wind of the application and were able to voice some of our
objections. I have been overwhelmed by the response of the community and their
determination to keep the Chapman Valley intact. I can guarantee an impressive
turnout at the public meeting, when called.
The Road To Nowhere serves no putpose that I can determine as it's
application stands. As a road usually has a destination at the end, we fear that this
piece is only the beginning. Further, there are river and creek beds all across the
City which will need to have service needs addressed. I was dismayed to see you
quoted as saymg "ifwe hadn't approved the road, (works) would have pushed for
the larger oneil am I wrong to believe that TRCA has the final say?

March 3, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 B52
I
In September 1999, Councillor Giansante wrote to you on behalf of the
residents requestmg a public meeting. I don't understand why an application is
being considered without our community having a chance to be heard.
Furthermore, the Works Department has allocated 1.5 million to naturalize the
Sun Row Commumty Action Site, which is modelled after the natural state of the
Chapman Valley Is seems a contradiction to spend money to improve the health of
one part of the stream, while threatening the pristine state of another part. Lastly,
I cannot fathom why the City would jeopardize such a Jewel as the Chapman
Valley, after being designated the Greenest City ill the world by Nations in Bloom.
- I am. making a formal request to be heard at the Executive Committee
meeting of the Authority on March 3,2000, where this applicatIOn will be heard. I
will be requesting that the application be deferred.
Sincerely,
,(;~~ -----

Subject: Chapman Creek Access Road
Councillors Lindsay Luby and Giansante,
I was surprised and upset upon receiving a flyer informing the
neighbourhood that the City Works Dept. was planning to build an access
road in our Chapman Creek ravine This valley is a natural treasure to
the city and a unique wilderness area in our urban environment. I
totally oppose the building of any access road in the valley or into the
valley, regardless of the road's composition, location, and purpose. In
the past, city service vehicles have been able to traverse the ravine
along current access points without impacting the natural beauty and
wildlifeof the valley There is no reason why city works staff cannot
continue to carry out their activities in a similar manner I trust you
agree with this position and ask you both to strongly object to this
unnecessary and destructive initiative.
Thanking you in advance for your support. Tom Kazmierowski

Dear Sirs:
,
Please explain why after 40 plus years you need an access road built into the Chapman Valley
Many people from all walks of life use the valley Many to enjoy the Jand that God, gave us. Many to
pick fallBn leaves at Thanksgiving Many to enjoy the silence of freshly fallen snow Many to enjoy
watching the new buds of spring and others enjoy just walking through the cree~.
Many types of animals and birds live in the Valley Ducks come In spring and fall. 'SquirrBls, fox,
coyote, rabbits and skunks also live in the Valley Even snakes like the Valley Where else can a
city kid see nature up close or understand the concept -mud shark-?
Students from Scarlett Heights, Hilltop and Westmount Schools 'Use the valley for nature studies,
Many photographers enjoy taking pictures of the creek because of It's uniqueness. (I believe that
the Humber River poster features a photo of the Chapman Valley taken by the TRCA photographer)
Amateur fossil hunters enjoy the wonderful bed of shale.
M9st people walking thfough the valley respect thBir surroundings by picking up garbage,
scooping after their dog. Why spoil such a wonderful area with a road, In closing, I feel that the
access road would harm our neighborhood greatly There must be a public meeting, where thB
community can Bxpress it's conoerns. Please take heed to this request. Remember once the valley
has been damaged, it is gone forever.

Dear Mr. O'Brien,
I write this letter to oppose the Chapman Valley Access
roaa Proposal. This area is one of the la,st un-touchea
environmentally sensitive areas left. Bringing in heavy
machinery to pave a path(road) in this area will destroy
wildlife habitats, which took quite a while for the wild-
life to come close to a residential area. It will drive
the dee~ away and destroy rare plant life.
If it is yottr wish to alter and destroy this area, by
bringing in machinery to accomplish this, I hope you
in your wisdom, reconsider; and either abandon this
proposal, or do it in such a, way that it won't disturb
the sensitive area and make it viable to the opposing
parties concerned.

Dear Mr O'Brien.
I am writing because I am very concerned about the City's intent to build a
road into the Chapman Valley to provide access to the works department. I am
shocked that you would even consider building a road in such a beautiful,
peaceful green space in Toronto. We as citizens should try our hardest to
keep our few remaining green spaces in the City There aren't enough of
them. I know that area is home to many small animals and birds as well as
many kinds of trees and plant life. I live in the surrounding area and have
always considered it a great benefit to be able to walk down there and
experience the peace and tranquility it provides.
In an age where we have so many stresses in our lives, we need more places
like the Chapman Valley to go and collect our thoughts and bring us in touch
with nature. We certainly don't need roads leading to and disrupting them. I
am very dissappointed in those who think this would be an improvement. Since
they have obviously managed all these years without access roads I am quite
sure they would manage just as well in the future. If it takes a little
extra effort, so be it. Often, something worth saving is worth a little
extra effort,
I am also concemed if a road did go in, it is sure to attract unsavoury
characters as it would be a place to do business or other activities without
r
-
any eyes monitoring them. In short, it would invite trouble. We don't need
that kind of trouble, we have more than enough already
I urge you once again to rethink this matter It is very important to all of
us who live in the surrounding neighbourhoods that you 'eave the valley
alone and let us continue to enjoy it rather than having one more place to
worry about.

Attention: Dick O'Brien, Chair TRCA
We are concerned about the proposed building of a maintenance road in the Chapman Valley.
This area has been designated as environmentally significant by the TRCA. Now, the TRCA wants
to help destroy one of the last truly natural areas left in the lower Humber Valley I
Surely, a decision of this magnitude should be brought before the residents prior to any application
for approval is actioned.
Please be aware that we do not support the TRCA's action to build a road in the Chapman Valley
Full disclosure is required as to why the TRCA believes this road is necessary
I'm sure an alternate solution can be found to ensure the Chapman Valley remains a truly natural
area, don't you?

Dear Councillor O'Brien,
RE Item 8 1 9 Executive Committee Meeting #2/00
Storm Sewer Access Road
Chapman Vallev. Humber Creek
I have on numerous occasions in the past expressed my concern for the
protection and preservation of our Natural Heritage both to City officials and
T R.C.A. staff
The proposed Works Department storm sewer access road improvements in the
Chapman Valley, Humber Creek would be highly destructive of what is being
used as a model for stream corridor natural restoration and protection It would
also be another in a growing chain of intrusions upon environmentally sensitive
areas and on naturally regenerated sites
While sewer access is necessary for service purposes, is a road necessary to
provide this?
The Works Department would seem to function in a vacuum, independent of
Parks, Forestry or Heritage and Culture
Of particular concern is the absence of awareness or understanding of Natural
Heritage within or on the part of some City Departments This has become
almost swe.eping with..amalgamation,~where the .issue is. lost in large, engineering
based decision making
Some access points which had served well for the previous forty to seventy years
have been up-graded over the last two years, with a total disregard to the venue
There has been a complete lack of sensitivity to the surround ,
Hard services and infrastructure are important. Without them the urban
environment would crumble But they cannot and must not exist in isolation from
heritage values, which are the counterpart that combines with them to make the
city
863 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 March 3, 2000
When hard services are located in natural areas, the protection and maintenance
of the natural area should be the primary consideration in service access
The principle of previous degradation for the validation of its resurrection or
perpetuation is a bad principle and should be discarded
Thank you for your kind consideration
Yours sincerely,

less, consisting of a number of parcels of land including residential, commercial and farm
rentals be purchased from Ontario Realty Corporation for Rouge Park purposes, said land
being situate in the City of Toronto, Town of Markham and City of Pickering and outlined

all costs associated with the transfer;
THAT the Authority receive conveyance of the land required free from encumbrance, subject
to existing service easements;
THAT Gardiner Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete the transaction

THAT the Authority take over interim management of these lands including all rentals at the
earliest possible date.
AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to execute
all necessary documentation required including a Memorandum of Agreement with the Ontario
Realty Corporation. ..... ..... . . . . . .. ........................ CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Members of the Authority at meeting #6/99 held on June 25, 1999 adopted Resolution
#A 165/99'
THAT staff establish a project implementation team to ensure the transfer of the ORG
lands to the TRGA in a timely and efficient manner and to ensure the long term costs
of the lands are minimized,
THA T the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to execute all
necessary documentation required,
865 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 March 3, 2000
AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to negotiate the purchase of various
parce/slblocks as they become available subject to Authority approval.
On April 15, 1999, the Province announced they would be adding 660 hectares (1,631 acres) to the
Rouge Park (North) and transferring ownership to the TRCA and a portion may be transferred to the
Town of Markham ORC has entered into an agreement with the Town of Markham for the
conveyance of approximately 160 hectares (395 acres) of land in the Little Rouge Corridor to the
Town. It is not clear at this time whether the Town will take these lands. If they do not, the lands will
be conveyed to the Authority Approximately 628 hectares (1,551 acres) are located along the Little
Rouge Corridor and 32 hectares (79 acres) adjacent to Milne Park. It's understood there are
approximately 30 residential leases and a number of farm leases within these lands.
While not included in the media package, it was also announced that all the Ontario Realty
Corporation (ORC) lands within Rouge Park South will also be transferred to the TRCA. There are
approximately 709 hectares (1,752 acres) of ORC lands south of Steeles within the City of Toronto
and the City of Pickering. Based on information received from ORC there are 45 residential, 19 farm,
6 barn, 2 land, and 3 commercial rentals within these lands.
Staff has conducted inspections on most of the rental properties in the Rouge Park North and South.
These inspections involved looking at the buildings for safety and maintenance requirements,
determining whether the building should be retained or demolished, and an environmental
screening of the buildings and surrounding area Most of the dwellings are in fairly good shape and
most of the rents are at or close to market value. It is staff's opinion that a net revenue will be
generated from these rentals. Under the terms of the conveyance to the Authority, all net revenues
are to be transferred to the Rouge Park Alliance for Rouge Park purposes.
ORC has undertaken Environmental Audits and done the necessary clean up on the lands in the
Little Rouge River including the valley land and 10 metres back from top of bank. ORC has
reimbursed the Authority for a Phase 1 Environmental Audit on the vacant and agricultural properties
south of Steeles Avenue.
Phase 1 Environmental Audits are still required on the Milne property and the table lands in the Little
Rouge Corridor from the 10 metres from top of bank limit to the limits of the corridor The Phase 1
Environmental Audit on the properties south of Steeles Avenue recommended additional soil testing
and clean up which still has to be undertaken As part of the inspection of the rental properties by
staff, environmental cleanup (garbage, rubble, illegal dumping, etc.) and several other locations
where additional environmental investigation is required, were identified Staff of ORC has indicated
that ORC will pay for all this additional work.
The Province has advised that a condition of the lands being transferred to the Authority, is that the
Authority enter into a Memorandum .of Agreement with ORC -Extensive negotiations have been
carried out involving Authority staff with officials of the Rouge Park Alliance, the Ministry of Natural
Resources and ORC Staff is satisfied that all Authority costs in connection with the conveyance will
be covered and that there is sufficient revenue in the ORC rental portfolio to cover all additional
Authority staffing and resource requirements. A copy of the Draft Memorandum of Agreement is
attached
March 3, 2000 " EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 866
In August of 1999 the Province entered into a contract with Del Management Solutions I nc. for the
management of the Prqvince's rental portfolio in this area of the Province. It is staff's understanding
tht;lt this contract is up for r~newal at the end of March 2000. This Would be an appropriate time for
the Authority to take Qver the management of these lands.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The province has advised"that this transfer will be revenue neutral to the Authority
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
A large majority of these lands are rented for farm, residential, or commercial purposes. Preliminary
discussions have been held with staff of the City of Torofltoand they are agreeable to
recommending that the City manage the vacant land within t~e City Preliminary discussions have
been held with staff of the Town of Markham and they are agreeable to recommending that the
Town manage all or a portion of the vacant land within the Town.

BACKGROUND
On June 24, 1998, the Provincial Government approved the Natural Areas Protection Program
(NAPP), which is a fund of $2Q-million over four years, established for the protection of natural areas
through acquisition. The fund is to be distributed among three geographic areas involving the
Rouge Park, Niagara Escarpment, and the Lynde Marsh. The Rouge Park and a small portion of the
Niagara Escarpment is within the Authority's area of jurisdiction The following is the maximum for
level of funding for each area:
. Rouge Park - $2 5 million
. Lynde Marsh - $4 5 million
. Niagara Escarpment - $13 million
The Province is striving to achieve a 1 1 funding ratio over the life of the program
The Province has had a number of specific land acquisition funding programs for the Niagara
Escarpment over the years. The most recent project was funded by the Province at 100% and
started in the mid 1980's. At that time the Authority adopted the "Project for the Acquisition of Land
for the Niagara Escarpment Park System" Under this project the Authority has acquired 5
properties and completed one land exchange. The iTlost recent transaction was completed in
September 1989. The Authority has not acquired any Niagara Escarpment properties to date under
NAPP; however, there are a number of properties on the approved list.
On February 26,1999, the Authority approved the "Project for the Acquisition of Natural Areas within
the Rouge River Watershed." Under this project the Authority has acquired 3 properties with a 4th
transaction in progress.
871 - EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 March 3, 2000
The Province has advised that a condition of an agency receiving NAPP funding is that they enter
into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Natural Resources. Staff has had
numerous discussions with staff of the Ministry of Natural Resources with a number of changes
favourable to the Authority being made. Two Memorandums of Understanding have now been
drafted, one for the Rouge Park and one for the Niagara Escarpment. Since these documents are
identical except for location only, the Rouge Park is attached

active in the vicinity of the surplus parcel. The proposal generally includes information stich
as proposed commlssJon rates, suggested listing price, estimated market value of the
property, and sales history of the firm in the area.
POLICY FOR THE SELECTION OF REAL ESTATE BROKERS
When it is proposed to use a Real Estate Broker -.to market an Authority surplus property the
following is the procedure to select a Broker'
(1 ) A minimum of three real estate brokers that are active in marketing properties in the vicinity
of the surplus pi'eperty will be requested to submit a proposal to list the property;
(2) All proposals will include the following information.
(a) cO'1lmission rates;
(b) suggested listing price,
(c) estimated m~ket value of the property; and
(d) sales history of the Real Estate Broker's firm in the area.
(3) All firms must meet the fOllowing criteria.

a Real Estate,Board active in the area of the surplus parcel and having access to the
Multiple Listing Service,
877 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 March 3, 2000

other Members of the Board for the purpose of conducting open houses, showing

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information.
Proposal'
To link the new IBM facility north of the Rouge River with electrical supply and with two hot water and
two chilled water pipes from the Markham Hydro property from the south, a crossing of the Rouge
River is required. The plant structure for the hot and chilled water pipes will be built on the Markham
Hydro property (i e on tableland) south of the watercourse and the new lines, needed specifically
for the proposed IBM facility, will occur within an existing municipally-owned sanitary sewer
easement (permit C-99205 was approved at Executive Committee Meeting #8/99 on Sept. 10/99
for this sanitary sewer) A separate easement through the valley corridor is not possible due to the
linear alignment needed to the hot and chilled water plant. The construction methodology involves
digging a trench on the south side of the river and placing the water pipes and electrical duct
structure at a depth of 1 5 metres. To accommodate the machinery and tunnel liner a pit will be
excavated approximately 20 metres south of the edge of the watercourse. Through jacking the 1800
mm diameter steel tunnel liner and through hand mining, the Rouge River will be tunneled for a 45-
metre length. The steel liner will be located at a depth of 2 5 metres under the Rouge River The
pipes and electrical duct structure will be placed within the liner On the north side of the River the
pipes and electrical duct structure will be placed again in a trench at a depth of 1.5 metres. The
entire length of the project is approximately 270 metres.
Control of Flooding'
All construction areas within the floodplain will be immediately restored to original grades.
Therefore, there will not be any impact on the control of flooding from fill placement. One hydro man
hole will be installed with the top set 200mm above grade Staff have det~rmined that this manhole
would not cause an impact to flow
Pollution'
Sediment fencing will be installed parallel to the watercourse to prevent the movement of
construction generated sediments-into.the Rouge River"E>isturbed areas will be revegetated upon
completion of the project.
Conservation of Land
With the placement of silt fencing parallel to the watercourse and with the proposed steel tunnel liner
bored at a depth of 2.5 metres under the watercourse, any potential harmful alteration, destruction,
and disruption (HADD) of the fish habitat will be mitigated. No terrestrial resource features will be
impacted.
899 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 March 3, 2000
On the north side of the river IBM will be implementing a tree planting and seeding program that will
restore all areas disturbed by site works. Restoration on the south side of the river will be limited to
a grassed lawn area that is currently maintained by Markham Hydro. The south area will be sodded
immediately upon construction

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information.
ProDosal:
The existing community centre will be demolished and the new Pickering West Branch Library and
Community Centre will be constructed Site grading will occur as a result of the construction Only
a small section of the proposed structure in the west will be located within the fill regulated area.
All parking will be constructed outside the regulated area. The proposed gabion retaining wall will
be located south of the new community centre with half of the wall located within the fill regulated
area The proposed community centre will be located no closer to the top of bank than the existing
community centre. In the valley to the west of the new community centre is the Petticoat Creek
Forest (ESA # 94)
Control of Flooding
There are no concerns for flooding as the site is not located within the Regional Floodplain
Pollution.
Staff has requested that plans be submitted to show the location of the sediment fencing and a
typical silt fence which will eliminate construction-generated sediments from entering the
watercourse to the west of the construction site
Conservation of Land
As the proposed community centre will not be any closer to the Petticoat Creek Forest ESA than
the existing community centre, it is anticipated that there will not be any additional impacts. To
ensure that there are no impacts during construction a sediment fence will be situated at the top of
bank which is between the work site and the ESA in the valley
Policy Guidelines:
The Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program provides TRCA's policies which guide
development proposals adjacent to valley and stream corridors. In this instance the policies define
the valley corridor boundary by the greater of the stable top of valley bank plus 10 metres inland
It was noted in a letter dated November 24, 1999 by TRCA staff that there was an encroachment in
the valley corridor boundary by a small portion of the southwest corner of the new building Staff
recognized that the proposed encroachment did not extend any further than the existing building.
Therefore, TRCA staff determined that the proposed setback, although less than 10 metres, provides
an acceptable buffer from the top of the bank. The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 (0)-
Replacement Structures-of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program

CITY OF TORONTO (TORONTO DISTRICT)
8.1.16 CITY OF TORONTO
To alter a waterway on (1873 Bloor Street West, South East Corner Of High Park Close To
The Intersection Of Parkside Dr And The Queensway), in the City of Toronto (Toronto),
Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by City of Toronto.
The purpose is to construct a demonstration treatment wetland along the northern edge of Lower
Duck Pond.
The permit will be issued for the period of March 3, 2000 to March 2, 2002 in accordance with the
following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
. Letter of Undertaking for Restoration Plans and Erosion and Sedimentation Plans,
dated March 1, 2000, received March 1, 2000, prepared by City of Toronto.
. Drawing CO-1, Site Plan, dated January 27, 2000, received February 15, 2000,
prepared by Gore and Storrie Limited.
. Drawing CO-2, Sections and Details, dated January 27,2000, received February 15,
2000, prepared by Gore and Storrie Limited.
. Drawing CO-3, Details, dated January 27,2000, received February 15, 2000, prepared
by Gore and Storrie Limited.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information.
Proposal'
Spring Creek flows from the north to the south along the east side of High Park and discharges into
Lower Duck Pond at the southeast corner of the Park. Upper Duck Pond receives minimal flows and
is connected by way of an overflow weir and channel to Lower Duck Pond This reach of Spring
Creek is not Fill Regulated and does not have an associated Regional Storm Flood plain. This
proposal consists of altering Spring Creek. A bottom draw will be constructed to transfer water from
Spring Creek to a series of newly created wetlands on the eastern section of Lower Duck Pond A
berm will be constructed along the eastern third of Lower Duck pond to separate the Spring Creek
flow for treatment into the new wetlands. An outlet will be constructed along the berm to allow the
treated waters to return to the remaining portion of Lower Duck Pond. High Park has been impacted
by stormwater runoff entering the rivers and ponds which has resulted in surface algae blooms,
water discoloration, turbidity and odours The lands contributing stormwater runoff are from
existing developed lands which presently have no storm water management controls. The City of
Toronto retained a consultant to design, construct and monitor a pilot treatment wetland system
to improve the quality of the waters of Spring-Greek'as it flows' into Lower Duck Pond This is not
a traditional storm water management project. This pilot project will be monitored for success and
potential environmental impacts. TRCA staff is of the opinion that this project will provide a net
benefit for High Park through vegetative plantings and providing enhanced water quality The City
has requested consideration of this application on the March 3 Executive Committee meeting in
order to facilitate the construction contract period over 10 weeks.
March 3, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 8102
Control of Flooding
As the upstream drainage area of Spring Creek is less than 125 hectares it was determined that this
site is not located within a Regional Storm Flood Plain Therefore, there will not be any impacts
associated with flooding
Pollution
Through a letter of undertaking the City of Toronto has agreed to provide Erosion and Sedimentation
Reports to TRCA's satisfaction prior to permit issuance. Staffs concerns for pollution will be
addressed through these reports.
Conservation of Land
Through a letter of undertaking the City of Toronto has agreed to provide Restoration Plans to
TRCA's satisfaction prior to permit issuance Staff's concerns for restoration will be addressed
through these plans. Construction of this wetland will provide the opportunity to enhance the area
through additional vegetative plantings and providing enhanced water quality There are no
concerns related to fish habitat. No significant resource areas will be impacted by the proposed
works.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4 3 - Infrastructure and Servicing-of the Authority's Valley and
Stream Corridor Management Program

RES.#B26/00 - DONALDA GOLF CLUB FISH BARRIER MITIGATION PROJECT
EAST DON RIVER
Modifications to barrier and construction of a "rocky ramp" Retaining of a
Contractor to assist with the Donalda fisheries barrier mitigation project.
Moved by' Gerri Lynn O'Connor
Seconded by' Maria Augimeri
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Dagmar Construction Inc. be retained to
undertake structural bridge/weir stabilization works in conjunction with the construction of a
fish "rocky ramp" for the Donalda Golf Club fish barrier mitigation project, at a total cost not
to exceed $67,519 plus G ST. . . ......... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In order to improve upstream access to the watershed from Lake Ontario for migratory fish species,
existing passage barriers are being modified Having recently modified two weirs at Pottery Road,
and one at Lawrence Avenue, the next major barrier on the East Don River is a weir located on the
Donalda Golf Club property
Staff have considered numerous options for mitigating the weir and have selected a "rocky ramp"
design as the preferred option to facilitate fish passage. In order to implement the proposed project,
a review of the integrity of the existing structure, with the intent to remove a portion of the concrete
apron, was undertaken, to facilitate the rocky ramp
It appears that the weir was constructed in the early 1900's as a concrete dam situated on top of a
rock filled timber crib:-Since its 'Construction; numerous"-changes to the structure have been made
including the installation of a bridge to facilitate vehicles and pedestrians to cross the river
Due to the lack of information regarding the construction and existing condition of the weir, staff
undertook an investigation to develop design concepts with assistance from V A. Wood Associates
Limited, Consulting Geotechnical Engineers, and H Sustronk & Associates (1980) limited,
Civil/Structural Consulting Engineers.
March 3, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 8104
The consultants determined that the weir could be notched and stabilized by installing tie back rods
to buried precast concrete "anchor blocks" Quarried and field stone would then be installed to
provide for scour protection of the remaining slab The stone would also be extended downstream
for a distance of about 25 to 30 metres to complete the construction of the fish "rocky ramp"
RATIONALE
Given the technical complexities of the project, an engineering solution was not arrived at until very
recently, therefore, due to timing constraints from both a fisheries and funding standpoint, staff were
not able to formerly tender this work.
Funding for this project was secured from a variety of sources, some of whom require that the
monies be spent before March 31, or shortly thereafter The fisheries window during which no
instream construction can take place extends from March 31 to July 1 Furthermore, the golf course
will only allow construction during their off season Therefore, even a short delay to allow a
tendering process would result in a year long delay in construction and funding that had been
secured could not be retained for that period of time. Such a delay would jeprodize the project.
This is the last major barrier preventing migratory salmon from reaching spawning habitat at the
base of the Oak Ridges Moraine in Vaughan and Richmond Hill and thus a very important milestone
for the Watershed.
To expedite the work, TRCA staff and the project Consultant, H Sustronk & Associates, met with
representatives from Dagmar Construction Inc., and are confident that they have the experience and
resources to complete the work in a timely and effective manner, and that the cost estimates
provided for the work are within those budgeted
TRCA staff have worked with Dagmar Construction on other projects, the most recent being the
construction of the Raymore Fishway; the Keffer Marsh storm sewer control structure, construction
of a pedestrian bridge, storm water management facility, and water intake pipe and pumping
chamber at the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park project. This work was all completed to staff's
satisfaction on time and on budget.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The total cost for this project is $155,000 Funding has been approved for this project through
Environment Canada Great Lakes 2000; The City of Toronto RAP; Canada Trust; and the
Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

Moved by' Gerri Lynn O'Connor
Seconded by' Maria Augimeri
THAT, subject to arrangements acceptable to the Authority being confirmed, staff be
authorized to dispose of used computer equipment by donation to "Computers Fo, Kids' or
similar charitable organizations . .......... . . . . . ...... . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Authority's Policies and Procedures for Purchase of Goods and Services and Disposal of
Equipment (section 4)provide that disposal of equipment must be by Public Auction, Trade-in or
advertised tender
RATIONALE
The Authority has accumulated a growing amount of computer equipment no longer of any use to
the Authority Previously this was disposed of by public auction through the City of Toronto. The
City no longer accepts such equipment for Auction
The value of used computer equipment has declined sharply in recent years to the point where the
Authority has received only a few hundred dollars when disposing of a significant volume of
equipment. At one point, it was almost necessary to pay someone to pick up the equipment.
The equipment being disposed of consists of monitors, computers, printers and assorted
peripherals that are no longer working, unreliable or obsolete When disposed of, this equipment
has all software removed in accordance with licensing laws and, of course, all data deleted
Staff has become aware of a registered charity, Computers for Kids, which refurbished computers
and places them with families who could otherwise not afford a computer The charity has
commitments from Microsoft and Adobe to provide software at no cost.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
There would be no cost to the Authority to use this means of disposal

BACKGROUND
The TRCA offers facility rentals, food service, programs and activities at Black Creek Pioneer Village,
Kortright Centre, four Residential Field Centers and six Conservation Areas to a variety of groups
including schools, corporations, travel tours, associations etc. The TRCA serves 6000 groups a year
representing 1,000,000 people The TRCA handles approximately 100 inquiries a day (26,000 calls
a year) on group-related products.
The current TRCA reservation system is inadequate in managing its current volume of business.
. Group bookings are handled by a variety of business units. The customer service
department is responsible for the majority of the bookings.
. TRCA uses an in-house designed reservation system, off-the-shelf software and manual
means to manage customer information, create bookings, and produce documents. These
systems are not integrated
., r "
March 3, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 8106
. The reservation system is supported by one TRCA staff
An integrated customer database, report and document manager, and reservation system is an
important business tool to help TRCA.
. maintain its current level of business and provide customers with the best possible service;
and,
. grow its volume of business by developing loyal customers.
The Event management system is a fully integrated, on line, real time system capable of managing
bookings, event resources, customer and potential customer information, and providing customized
reports and documents.
RATIONALE
Benefits of an integrated event management software to TRCA:
. improve customer relationship and loyalties. The knowledge of one's customer provides
an opportunity to develop a loyal relationship Establishing a loyal relationship will ensure
repeat business and develop new business through word of mouth referrals.
. increase marketing and selling effectiveness to customers. Knowledge of the customer's
buying history and habits will allow the TRCA to focus its marketing and selling strategies
more effectively
. increase booking efficiencies. One information source will allow various business units
and staff to work within the same format. A standardized format with one information source
will allow staff to acquire resource and customer information immediately The speed in
acquiring accurate information will eliminate the time spend on gathering the information.
. decrease booking errors. One reservation format will eliminate the various booking
methodologies used, therefor~, decreasing the possibilities of errors.
. improve customer service A standardized format with one information source will allow
TRCA staff to provide consistent service Staff at various facilities can provide information
and make bookings without having to transfer the customer
. improve software support. Depending on one TRCA staff to support an important function
makes the TRCA vulnerable to many problems.
. control over sales activities. Through the software's contact manager, TRCA staff can
track prospective-customer ca11s, prepare correspondence and develop selling strategies
more effectively
Methodology
Staff has been seeking a solution to the reservations/event management problem for more than one
year It is a complicated, customized application for which no easily obtainable, off-the-shelf solution
is available. One supplier offered a solution at a price in the $100,000 range. Other potential
suppliers have been unable to demonstrate a comprehensive solution that is cost effective.

BACKGROUND
The Authority constructed and operates a 50 tee golf driving range at the Bruce's Mill Conservation
Area, located in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, Regional Municipality of York.
March 3, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 8110
The facility is located on the south side of Stouffville Sideroad, immediately east of the access road
into the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area, and encompasses 8.1 hectares (20 acres) of land, more or
less, as identified on the attached plan.
During the past season the driving range was open to the general public and operated by the
Authority In addition to this there were two individual agreements; one with the YMCA of Greater
Toronto and the other with Impact Golf School. The YMCA used the facility as part of their summer
camp offerings, while Impact Golf School provided golf instruction to its local clientele.
In renegotiating our agreement with Impact Golf School, they requested a two year licence
agreement to operate the golf driving range in addition to offering golf instruction at this facility
Authority staff has held preliminary meetings with representatives of Impact Golf School to discuss
a possible pilot project which would allow for such an arrangement, and to discuss general terms
and conditions which would apply to a possible two year licence agreement.
Impact Golf School has been in operation several years and consists of three partners. They are
extensively involved in the development and instruction of golf, and have worked with Authority staff
in the marketing of the Bruce's Mill Golf Driving Range. Staff are of the opinion that further
discussions with Impact Golf School regarding such an arrangement are warranted
A plan showing the location of the Bruce's Mill Golf Driving Range is attached.
CONCLUSION
Authority staff is seeking the direction of the Executive Committee to commence negotiations with
Impact Golf School regarding a possible two year licence agreement for the existing Bruce's Mill
Golf Driving Range
A further report will be brought forward to the next meeting of the Finance & Business Development
Advisory Board and the Executive Committee detailing the progress being made and the general
terms and conditions of any proposed licence agreement.

RES.#B31/00 - SEDIMENT AWARENESS PROJECT
To approve the proposal by Greenland International Consulting Inc. to
continue monitoring in 2000 at the Markham and Ajax demonstration sites as
part of the Sediment Awareness Study
Moved by. Gerri Lynn O'Connor
Seconded by' Maria Augimeri
THAT the proposal by Greenland International Consulting Inc. to continue with the monitoring
for the Sediment Awareness demonstration sites be approved. The total cost estimate to
undertake the monitoring of this project for 2000 is $54,837 ($46,697 will be for labour and
travel expenses and the remaining $8,140 will cover material costs) . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In 1999, TRCA staff initiated the Sediment Awareness Project as a means to address the concerns
regarding the amount of sediment generated from construction sites, particularly in the sensitive
headwater streams in the Great Lakes Basin, from the initial stripping and rough grading through
servicing, house construction and final site stabilization 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. Ultimately, when the monitoring
is completed, these results will provide the framework for new, specific, and practical improvements
to the existing provincial standards for Erosion and Sediment Control on Urban Construction Sites
(1989) The results of the study are intended to be applicable to all similar RAP sites facing the
impacts of construction sediment exports.
This project addresses a number of issues that have been identified by the Don Watershed
Regeneration Council, Humber Watershed Alliance and the Rouge Park Alliance, and in the
following documents Clean Waters, Clear Choices; Forty Steps to a New Don, Legacy and A Call to
Action, as being significant concerns requiring immediate action. improved erosion and sediment
control methods; rigorous enforcement of sediment control guidelines, and; better
education/awareness for the development industry
TRCA, in partnership with Greenland International Consulting Inc., developed a monitoring protocol
for the Sediment Awareness Project and three demonstration sites were chosen. one each in the
City of Vaughan, and the Towns of Markham and Ajax. 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
The monitoring protoool identified eight -components including visual observations and detailed in-
stream monitoring The eight monitoring components include visual, flow and water quality;
temperature, habitat assessment; benthic invertebrates, fish community; amphibians; and
biomonitoring TRCA staff has been responsible for undertaking all components, in-house, except
for the visual and flow and water quality monitoring components which were carried out by
Greenland staff in 1999
8113 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 March 3, 2000
Monitoring at the Ajax and Markham sites was carried out from May through November in 1999
Greenland staff have recently completed a year-end progress report for the Sediment Awareness
Project which includes the results from each of the eight monitoring activities.
RATIONALE
It is recommended that Greenland International Consulting Inc. continue their monitoring work for
the Sediment Awareness Study in 2000 TRCA staff are currently acting as project managers,
providing technical support and are carrying out a portion of the monitoring work. TRCA cannot
provide additional staff at this time and Greenland's assistance is critical to the study's completion.
TRCA staff are satisfied that Greenland's costs are at, or are comparable to those that would be
incurred by TRCA. Greenland will provide a highly qualified engineer to carry out the applicable
monitoring components. The charge out rate for the labour will be set at a technician's rate thereby
reducing the overall cost.
TRCA have worked with Greenland International Consulting Inc. on numerous projects and are
continually impressed with the quality of their work and the expertise provided by their staff
Greenland has provided technical advice from the onset of the Sediment Awareness Study and have
assisted in developing the monitoring protocol. In 1999, Greenland staff undertook the visual, flow
and water quality monitoring components for two of the demonstration sites. During the Phase I
component, Greenland supplied the flow and water quality monitoring equipment. They have
offered continual use of this equipment for Phase 1/ Greenland staff have provided a quality report
which both meets and exceeds the original study requirements. The year end report outlines the
work carried out during Phase I including a discussion of the monitoring results.
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 Facility
Sediment Maintenance Guide which will assist municipalities and other facility operators monitor and
manage accumulated sediments in storm water facilities. The stakeholder committee supports
Greenland's proposal to continue their monitoring work in 2000 and a letter of recommendation
from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, a major funding partner for the study, has been
attached.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
1 TRCA Staff
Temperature Monitoring Temperature readings will be taken at each of the six locations
throughout the duration of the study The temp-meters will be programmed to take readings on an
hourly basis.
Habitat Assessment: Habitat assessment will be carried out once per year Information collected
will be transferred to a GIS package for analysis.
.
March 3, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 8114
Benthic Invertebrate Sampling. Benthic Invertebrate sampling will be carried out twice per year
for the duration of the study at each of the 6 stations Sampling results will be compared to the
baseline inventory to identify any change in community structure. All samples will be identified by
an outside consultant.
Fish Community Sampling: Fish community sampling will continue on an annual basis throughout
the duration of the study Sampling will take place early summer
Amphibian Monitoring: Spring/Summer 2000 to end of study Spring and summer breeding frogs
and toads will be monitored for the same section of Millers Creek. There will be one evening visit
to listen for early spring breeders and two visits to listen for summer breeders. The same protocol
as 1999 will be followed
Biomonitoring. After approximately six weeks of exposure the clams will be retrieved and the soft
tissue removed, preserved and sent to TRCA's contract laboratory for analysis. The clam tissue will
be tested for Trace metals, Total PCB and PAH's and compared to the control set from Balsam Lake
to determine biological uptake of contaminant. A total of four stations will be tested annually A
complete analysis will be carried out on the clam samples in 1999 to provide baseline data. In
subsequent years a sediment sample could be analyzed If bioaccumulative compounds are found
in the sediment, then the clams will also be tested. If no. bioaccumulatives are found, then only a
mortality count will be conducted
2. Greenland Staff
Visual Monitoring Greenland staff will visit each key station at least once every two weeks during
extended dry periods and after each rainfall event. Greenland staff will keep track of the weather
forecast using their subscription to radar data access. This will optimize the timing of the
inspections and verification of the automatic sampler installations. During each visit, Greenland staff
will take photographs and record detailed notes describing any changes in baseline conditions and
to monitor the performance of the erosion and sediment control measures. All photographs will be
digital (or digitized) for ease of information exchange and documentation and, ultimately, to reduce
costs.
In addition, Greenland staff will walk along the length of all the environmental fencing to review the
integrity of the fence and note any evidence of sediment 'break-throughs' Greenland staff will
document the reasons for 'break-throughs', including material failure, installation problems;
construction 'accidents'; and construction progress requirements (e.g need to remove sediment
trap because new road/street being graded, houses being built, etc.)
Flow and Water Quality' Water levels will be recorded on an hourly basis using a data logger and
a pressure transdueer .=rne water-qt2a1ity sampler is-programmed to take samples when the water
level in the creek reaches a certain elevation (i e. during wet weather events)

BACKGROUND
In August of 1999, the Authority granted, to Pickering, two permanent easements, for the ends of
a concrete box culvert which were outside the Stroud's Lane road allowance After completion of
the culvert it was determined that two small portions of the culvert were outside the existing
easements. The City of Pickering is requesting the Authority convey two additional easements to
resolve this situation .- .- ._- --
The subject Authority lands are part of a much larger area, acquired from Bramalea Limited on July
30, 1993, under the Project for the Acquisition of the Altona Forest Environmentally Significant Area
and from Bramalea Inc. on March 29, 1995, under the Petticoat Creek Flood Plain Lands Component
of the Land Acquisition Project.
8129 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/00 April 7. 2000
The Corporation of the City of Pickering has conveyed lands to the Authority over the years for the
nominal consideration of $2.00 and has requested that these easements be granted for the nominal
consideration of $2.00. The City will be responsible for all survey, legal and other costs associated
with completion of this transaction.
A plan illustrating these locations is attached.
ANALYSIS
The granting of easement will formalize the City of Pickering's requirements for maintenance of the
culvert. No new construction will be undertaken at this location.

BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #4/95 held on May 26,1995, Resolution #A131/95 approved the Greenspace
Protection and Acquisition Project.
The lands in question form part of a larger parcel of land owned by Baif Developments which is
being developed as part of the Headford Industrial Business Park. Through the development review
process technical staff identified the valley lands associated with the main Rouge River as forming
part of the open space system, and suitable for public acquisition
At the present time there are no contiguous publicly-owned lands adjacent to this parcel, although
additional lands are anticipated to come into public ownership as the balance of this area develops.
In the interim, the Town of Richmond Hill will be obtaining an access easement in order to service
the stormwater management facility located within the open space system
The conditions of draft plan approval as adopted by the Regional Municipality of York require that
the open space lands identified through the development review process come into public
ownership, either to the local municipality or the TRCA. The Town of Richmond Hill has requested
that in this instance the Authority acquire these lands.
The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed this proposal and is in
concurrence with the acquisition of this property
A plan illustrating the specific location is attached
RATIONALE
This property is located within the Authority's approved master plan for acquisition and consists of
valley and associated flood plain lands of the main Rouge River Securing this property in public
ownership will further the Authority's conservation objectives and provide for its long-term
protection.
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
The lands will be turned over to the Town of Richmond Hill under our management agreement.
Lands under this agreement are exempt from taxation

8159 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/00 April 7, 2000
Proposal
The proposal consists of a single lane, triple-span, prefabricated steel bridge. Structure abutments
are proposed on either side of the valley at the top of the bank. Two piers will be located two thirds
of the way down each valley slope at an approximate distance of 11.5 metres from the center line
of the stream The total span of the bridge will be 70.5 metres with a width of 6 metres and will be
located approximately 18 metres above the stream
The proposed bridge will cross a permanently low flowing creek that runs through a high gradient,
steeply sided ravine The bridge site is located within the "Morningside Creek Forest"
Environmentally Significant Area (ESA # 82) and the Regionally Significant ANSI, known as
"Morningside Tributary Ravine" The "Core Woods" ESA (#84) is adjacent to the site to the north.
Control of Flooding
There are no concerns related to flooding with the proposed bridge as the upstream drainage area
of this first order stream is less than 125 hectares. The proposed piers are not located within a
regional storm flood plain Therefore, they will not cause any obstructions to flow, up or downstream
impacts or loss of flood storage.
Pollution
The use of sediment and erosion control measures, and restricted work zones will prevent sediment
loading to Morningside Creek. No construction crossings of the watercourse are required.
Conservation of Land
Staff have worked extensively with the staff and consultants for the Zoo in efforts of minimizing
environmental impacts which include avoiding core wooded habitat, avoiding works that would have
a significant impact on the Rouge valley and avoiding the structurally unstable existing footbridge.
The geotechnical report was reviewed by TRCA staff and found to be satisfactory Staff recommend
that the broader stability Issue be confirmed during construction of the bridge. In this regard, the
applicants have committed to submitting report demonstrating that the works are completed
according to plans submitted, and assessing the broader global stability issues. Should any further
Investigations result in concerns of slope stability the applicant is committed to necessary redesign
to ensure long term stability
To minimize impacts to the ESA, tree removal will be limited and will occur prior to April 1 or after
August 31 in order to avoid birds nesting for the season Restoration of the site will be to the
satisfaction of Authority staff The permit will not be released until satisfactory restoration plans are
received
There are no works1Jr-oposed within-the-watercourse~sedimentation barriers will be implemented,
and revegetation will be completed after construction, therefore, any potential HADD will be
mitigated. Staff has reviewed a draft planting plan

April 7, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/00 8162
Proposal:
The proposal is to place fill and undertake grading in a regulated area to facilitate the construction
of stormwater outfall and site grading associated with the expansion of the existing seniors facility
The works are the final phase of a seniors complex. This development has been subject to staff
review through Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments, through which staff commented on
the overall proposed development. A "Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways" permit was
issued for a stormwater outfall in 1998.
Control of Flooding
The proposal is not expected to impact on the storage and conveyance of floodwaters, as minimal
works will occur in the valleylands and all excavated material will be removed from the floodplain.
Pollution
Sediment control measures will be installed to prevent sediment from entering any watercourse.
Conservation of Land
The proposed addition will be setback 10 metres with a proposed patio area 5 metres from top of
bank of the valley corridor The outfall is located within the valley and approximately 18 metres from
the watercourse. The valley corridor is in municipal ownership The works include re-establishing
woody vegetation within the valley and adjacent 5 metres. Specific attention will be given to planting
in the area between the outfall and the watercourse to facilitate quality treatment of stormwater
runoff Potential impacts to fisheries habitat are mitigated through the use of sediment control
measures. The proposed works will not impact on any significant resource features and there are
no geotechnical issues associated with the project.
Policv Guidelines:
the proposal is consistent with Sections 4 3 - Infrastructure and Servicing & 4 1 New Urban
Development - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program The permit will
not be issued until the Authority has received written landowner authorization from the City of
Vaughan as a portion of the works are proposed on City property

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information
Proposal.
The proposal is to alter a watercourse and undertake grading to facilitate the construction of a
commercial shopping centre The works include ditching and piping of a existing roadside ditch,
which drains less than 125 ha. and outlets into a tributary of the Humber River
Control of Flooding
The eXisting ditch capacity will maintained, therefore the storage and conveyance of flood waters
are not expected to be affected. In addition, the stormwater management scheme for the shopping
centre Will Include Level 1 quality and pre-post quantity controls.
Pollution
Erosion control measures will be implemented during construction to ensure that sediment does
not enter downstream areas.
Conservation of Land
The existing watercourse is currently located within the roadside ditch of Islington Avenue. The
consideration of this proposal is only in light of prior diversions, resulting in a substantially reduced
upstream drainage area, and degraded nature of this reach The potential impacts to downstream
fish habitat are mitigated through the use of erosion control measures and the conforming with
warm water time lines (in water works completed between July 1 to March 31 or in dry) The
remaining open ditch portion of the work will be sodded or seeded providing some minor quality
treatment for upstream areas.
Policy Guidelines.
The works are consistent with Section 3.3 - Policies and Procedures for Identifying Watercourses

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information.
Proposal
The proposal includes the construction of an 11 m by 14 m temporary sales trailer in the floodplain
of the German Mills Creej<. The proposed trailer and front porch are proposed to be anchored by
way of concrete piers. The parking lot will have a gravel base.
Control of Floodino'
The subject site is currently flood susceptible as the result of a flood spill associated with upstream
and downstream structures. While Authority policy allows for floodplain modifications to address
spill zones, staff recommend flood proofing the structure, rather than modifying the floodplain in light
of the temporary nature of the proposed use. Staff has reviewed the depths and velocities
associated with the existing conditions of this site. The proposed floor elevation of the sales trailer
will be set higher than the existing Regional Storm elevation A review of the structural details
indicates that the structure will be set on concrete piles which will provide space underneath the
structure for passage of flood flows during the Regional Storm event and will not impact upstream
or downstream flood elevations. The proposed parking lot meets the flood depth and velocity
criteria under the existing condition
Pollution
As the German Mills is located approximately 30 metres to the west of the trailer site, and as fill
material will be limited to gravel for the parking lot arid cement for the sono tubes, no sedimentation
of the watercourse is expected
Conservation of Land
There is no in stream work proposed and no resource features will be impacted by the proposed
structure and parking lot.

health and recreation issues in the Don River watershed.
Moved by' Lorna Bissell
Seconded by' Donna Patterson
THAT Angus Reid Group be hired to undertake a public opinion survey of Don watershed
residents on public awareness, attitudes and behavioural patterns related to watershed health
and recreation issues in the Don River watershed, at a cost not to exceed $24,000 plus GST.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In 1994, the Don Watershed Task Force created Forty Steps to a New Don, a report that acts as a
road map for government and community actions to protect, restore and regenerate the health of
the Don River In 1995, the Don Watershed Regeneration Council was created to implement the
strategies outlined in the Forty Steps document.
In order to continually assess the effectiveness of effort to improve and protect the health of the
watershed, Forty Steps to a New Don, received by the TRCA in 1994, calls for a report card to be
published every three years. Community awareness and action are fundamental variables impacting
the health of the Don watershed and as such are to be included in these report cards.
In 1996, the first public attitude survey of Don watershed residents was undertaken, which
established baseline information on residents' level of awareness and behavioural patterns. The
results of this survey-were~cluded-in1he-'t99'l-document-ruming-rhe-Comer, The Don Watershed
Report Card This report had wide distribution and has been used as a template by other groups
including the United States EPA funded Rouge River Project.
The Don Watershed Regeneration Council recommends that a public opinion survey be conducted
in order to assess changes in public attitudes and behaviour for several indicators of the Don
Watershed Report Card, 2000
8171 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/00 April 7, 2000
The information gained from the survey can be also used as:
. a tool to help develop more effective communication strategies; and
. direct development of Mure work plans and programs for the Don Watershed Regeneration
Council.
Four market research consultants were asked to review the Terms of Reference and submit quotes
on conducting the public opinion survey The quotes were based on a 15-20 minute telephone

RATIONALE
Members of the Don watershed Report Card Committee reviewed the three proposals submitted.
Interviews were conducted with representatives of each company and after careful review and a
subsequent further meeting of all committee members, it was agreed that the Angus Reid Group
proposal, while the most costly, was preferred. All members of the Committee concurred with this
decision. However, the Committee members were concerned with the cost, and requested staff to
meet with the representatives of Angus Reid to determine areas where costs could be cut. While it
was agreed that the 20 minute survey format should be retained to ensure the depth of topics
covered, the numbers of surveys could be dropped to 500, and the age range expanded to include
persons 18-25 years old
With these changes Angus Reid agreed to reduce their cost to $24,000 plus GST
Staff on behalf of the Don Watershed Regeneration Council respectfully request the approval of this
contract. It is anticipated that work will be completed by mid May and the release of the Report Card
will remain on target for September 2000

THAT the proposal and quotation from Reilly's Security Services be accepted; it being the
quotation that best met the Authority's specifications . . . . . . . .. .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
A review of the security service requirements with respect to our Head Office and Black Creek
Pioneer Village facilities in relationship to the level of service being provided currently dictated that
the contract be reconsidered
The factors to be considered with respect to the type and level of service required was stipulated
in the request for proposals, specifically, the following areas of interest were identified.
1) Hours of Service
Security services will be supplied 365 days per year, 16 hours per day, from 1600 hours to
0800 hours. The services will be shared between Head Office and Black Creek Pioneer
Village
2) K-9 (Guard Dog) Unit Required
The Guards employed at our facilities will be properly trained in the handling of a K-9 Unit.
The service provider will ensure that the guards are provided with a K-9 unit from April 1 to
November 1, 16 hours per day, 7 days a week.
The use of a K-9 Unit has proven to be a significant deterrent to unauthorized activity during
the warmer months of the year, which is the peak period for after hours undesirable
activity and the associated risk from a security perspective
3) Insurance and Licensing
Security firm licensing, insurance, WSIB and compliance with the Occupational Health
and Safety Act are required
4) Quality of Service
Training and educational background is a concern All Officers will be required to be
physically-fit, eKperienced;-seasened Officers;-preferably with -a-Community College law
and security background
5) Price
The Authority has reserved the right to accept or not accept any and all quotations. The
lowest or any quotation will not necessarily be accepted
8173 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/00 April 7. 2000
6) Value Added Services
Proponents were given the opportunity to identify "value added services" which they
wish to add at no cost beyond the stipulated requirements.
7) Facilities Inspection by the Proponent
All proponents toured the facilities and were thoroughly briefed on the issues, concerns
and requirements of this contract, prior to being afforded the opportunity to submit
quotations.
ANALYSIS
The opportunity to submit proposals for a yearly contract, including 8 statutory holidays, was given
to four security firms:
Code 3 Fire and Security Inc $117,30400
Wackenhut of Canada Ltd $104,249 60
Reilly's Security Services $100,368.00
District Security Services Inc $ 97,448.00
Please note that all applicable taxes must be added to the above noted quotations.
All submissions have been assessed based upon demonstrated interest and compliance with the
specifications within the request for quotation
District Security Services Inc submitted the lowest bid but was eliminated because they do not
currently have a license, under the Private Investigators and Security Guards Act, to utilize K-9 units
as part of their security services. This service is an integral part of the contract.

To Th~ Chainnan and Members, TRCA
I am concerned about the construction site on the south side of Sheppard and the west
side of Keele. Some time in 1\1arch, I walked up the slope from Seeley drive and noticed that the
excavations were very close to the edge and did not appear to conform with the TRCA's
regulations about distance 'from the edge of table land. There was also some minor dumpmg jn fl.
small natural culvert. 11?honed the Black C!eek project but now I am aslcing TRCA itselfto:,write
and let me know if this constl11ction is brealcing regulation-s.
Years ago, I contacted your authOlity during the construction of the Northwood subdivision,
Lou Charles was the developer there. from my O~l1 observations, and from the reports of people
who, were having pre sold houses built there, I told the Authority that there was a lot of fill going
into deep slopes and lot lines were gqing nght up to the edge of the table land. Th~ officer I
spoke to said he had a sta~k a yard high.ofinfractions in that developmept. Our alderman of the
time, Pat O'Neill was also infonned, as was Robert Yuill and the parks conunissioner, but nothing
was changed and you know how m,uch money that poor development on either stde of the Black
Creek valley has cost TReA. I was told later that if I had put my concerns in writing, more
notice might have been taken. Hence this letter and I hope some timely remedtal action as well as
a, reply.

SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION
RES.#B52/00 - VAUGHAN MILLS ROAD, CITY OF VAUGHAN
Proposed bridge crossing of the Humber River City of Vaughan staff request
for Authority support of a proposed bridge crossing of the Humber River
linking the north and south sections of Vaughan Mills Road.
Moved by' Michael Di Biase
Seconded by' Gerri Lynn O'Connor
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS the proposed Vaughan Mills
Road Bridge fulfilled the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act in 1990 in terms
of public consultation and notification of completion;
AND WHEREAS this process was completed prior to the Authority adoption of the Valley and
Stream Corridor Management Program;
THAT the City of Vaughan be advised that the Authority will not object to the use of the
proposed 76 metre bridge subject to staff working with the City of Vaughan and the City's
consultants to ensure that the works are designed and constructed in a manner that minimizes
impacts to the valley feature and potential flood risks, \
AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to work with the City of Vaughan investigating
opportunities to enhance the valley system in this area ....... . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Staff are in receipt of a permit application for the Vaughan Mills Road Bridge. The proposal includes
a 76 metre span of the Humber River
As a requirement of the Environmental Assessment Act (EA), an Environmental Study Report must
be prepared and made available for comment by the public and affected agencies for qualifying
projects. In 1990, the City of Vaughan completed the preliminary bridge design and Environmental
Study Report (ESR), circulating these submissions to affected agencies and advertising in local
newspapers. The Notice of Completion of the ESR is dated June 20, 1990 and the Ministry of
Environment has confirmed that no bump up requests were received TRCA did not comment on,
or object to, the recommended 76 metre structure
On the basiS of the successfully completed EA Process, the City of Vaughan has collected
Development Charges for construction of a 76 metre bridge crossing (the preferred option in the
ESR) and now IS preparing an update to the ESR prior to proceeding to detailed design for review
and approval ~
The Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (1994) includes the following policy with
respect to the location of structural abutments of bridge crossings.
May 12,2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 8183 - )~ --
4 3 B 6) Bridge or structural abutments should be located outside the meanr:Jer belt (as
calculated from the existing meander amplitude) or the 100 year erosion limit of a
watercourse, unless located beyond the valley or stream corridor
General practice, since the adoption of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program has
been to direct abutments out of the meander belt rather than the lesser standard of the 100 year
erosion limit. The proposed 76 metre structure protects the 100 year erosion limit, however, it does
not protect the meander belt. Application of the current meander belt criteria would require
extending the proposed bridge to a length of approximately 150m
The proposed bridge design minimizes the impacts on flood conveyance by lowering the existing
ground elevation under the bridge and containing the increased flooding within the valley lands
owned by the TRCA. The larger opening under the bridge also provides for future trail linkages for
this reach of the valley
City of Vaughan has indicated that Level 1 quality control treatment will be provided for Stormwater
runoff In addition, enhancement works such as riparian zone plantings will be completed as part
of the project to minimize impacts of the project on the valley lands, and to provide opportunities
for enhancement.
City of Vaughan staff are seeking support from the Authority on the 76 metre structure as they
update their ESR but prior to the finalization of detailed. design, and permit approval.
A plan illustrating the location of the proposed bridge is attached
RATIONALE
In light of the completion of the EA process, staff recommends approval in principle of the proposed
bridge based upon 1990 criteria for flood plain impacts and meander belt management. Current
standards will be met or exceeded with respect to stormwater management, trail access and
restoration/enhancement.

RES.#B54/00 - REHABILITATION OF PALGRAVE POND
Tender Opening Sub-Committee Meeting #5/00
Tender ESOO-04 - Dredging Award of a contract for the dredging of
approximately 21,000 cubic metres of sediment from Palgrave Pond, Town
of CaJedon
Moved by' Michael Di Siase
Seconded by Gerri Lynn O'Connor
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Contract ESOO-04 for the dredging of
Palgrave Pond, Town of Caledon, be awarded to McNally Marine Inc. at a total cost of $459,060
(excluding GST), subject to receipt of all required approvals and subject to the commitment
of funding from the various partners associated with this project . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Palgrave pond IS an on line pond on the Main Humber River in the Village of Palgrave, Town of
CaJedon The mill dam was originally constructed in the mid 1800's, and the pond has become the
focal pOint of the village
In 1996, Ontario Streams initiated the Palgrave Dam Aquatic Habitat Restoration Project. It was
through this project that residents became aware of the negative environmental impacts of the dam
and pond on the health of the Humber River watershed Residents have clearly indicated that they
support efforts to rehabilitate aquatic habitat, however, are not supportive of any measures that will
result in negative changes to the aesthetics of the pond.
Since 1996, numerous concept designs have been developed to restore the Palgrave Mill Pond.
In 1998, three concepts that included the provision of a fishway, dredging, and a trail system were
developed. A preferred concept was selected and a technical investigation was completed in order
to establish detailed design criteria This report indicated technical difficulties with the construction
~ ~- of the berm-to-effectively iselate-4:he-P6fle..frem'the river~by er-eating a bypass channel around the
pond Further to that, engineering and construction costs proved to be prohibitive As a result, a
revised concept that reduced costs and still achieved the environmental objectives was developed
At the Executive Meeting #8/99, Aquafor Beech was hired to prepare detailed designs for this
revised concept.
May 12, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 8187
- .
Components of this design include opportunities for fish passage, reduced thermal impacts of the
pond, improved aquatic habitat within the pond, trails and interpretive signage and maintenance of
pond aesthetics. At the Authority Meeting #2/00, the Authority made the following recommendation
'7HATthe restoration plans for the Palgrave Mill Pond Community Action Site, which
includes a fishway, dredging, trail construction, parking and interpretive signage and
a series of trails be approved "
Based on the consultant's recommendation, 21,OOOm3 of material will be excavated from the pond
A sediment forebay approximately two metres in depth will be created which, based on sediment
loads, will have a lifespan of 20 years. A channel, approximately 1.5m deep, which extends from the
sediment forebay to the pond outlet, will also be dredged The average depth of the pond will be
approximately 1 Om
Approvals will be sought during the spring of 2000, with construction anticipated to begin in July
and finish in September
RATIONALE

BACKGROUND
Resolution #A 131/95, Authority Meeting #4/95, May 26, 1995 approving the project.
On August 4, 1999 Authority staff provided the City of Vaughan with comments on a draft plan of
subdivision The proposed subdivision contains 10 373 acres (4 198 hectares) and the proposed
development was an 8 lot and 6 partial lot subdivision One of the conditions suggested by staff was
that the owner enter Into agreements with the AuthOrity or the City of Vaughan with respect to the
transfer of valley lands Into public ownership
May 12, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 8193

On December 6, 1999 the Council of the City of Vaughan approved the draft plan of subdivision
subject to conditions of draft approval One of the conditions of draft approval was that prior to final
approval, the owner enter into agreements with the Authority with respect to the transfer of valley
lands into public ownership
Since the valley land portion of the subdivision contained substantial improvements the owner is not
prepared to convey the valley lands to the Authority for nominal consideration.

THAT the sale be subject to the approval of the Minister of Natural Resources in accordance
with Section 21 (2) of the Conservation Authorities Act C.27 as amended,
AND FURTHER THAT appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take

BACKGROUND
At Meeting # 12/95 the Authority approved a permanent easement in favour of the Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto (City of Toronto) for parking purposes The City of Toronto, on behalf of the
Toronto Transit Commission, has been negotiating with the owners and tenants of the property at
1333 Sheppard Avenue East for the acquisition of permanent and temporary working easements
required to facilitate the construction of the Sheppard Subway line. North York General Hospital is
the owner of this 2.21 hectare property on which a medical office building and a parking deck are
currently constructed The lands adjacent to this property are owned by the Authority and under
management agreement with the City of Toronto.
In the course of the construction of the Sheppard Subway, the frontage of 1333 Sheppard Avenue
East will be disrupted for a period of approximately four years, including the loss of 81 parking
spaces. To compensate for the parking it is proposed that the parking deck be expanded and the
City of Toronto requested a permanent easement over Authority property, south of 1333 Sheppard
Avenue East to facilitate this proposal However, North York General Hospital insisted on acquiring
fee simple ownership In the subject Authority parcel Several years of protracted negotiations have
resulted in an agreement whereby the North York General Hospital would acquire the subject
Authority parcel together with a permanent easement for the purposes of maintaining a retaining wall
related to the parking lot. In return the Authority will acquire a small portion of valley land from the
North York General Hospital, which will be subject to an easement for maintenance of an adjacent
road embankment. AuthOrity staff are of the opinion that the current proposal represents the best
alternative In this area and are recommending rescinding the earlier resolution
The subject lands were acqUired from the North York General Hospital in October 1970, under the
Don River Flood Plain Lands component of the Land Acquisition Project. There is a covenant on title
which limits the use of the property for any purpose other than for conservation The City of Toronto
has obtained a release from the North York General Hospital in connection with this matter
The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed this exchange and is in
concurrence with this proposal
A plan illustrating the specific location is attached
TAXES AND MAIN:r.E-NANCE
The parcel being acquired will be turned over to the City of Toronto as part of the management
agreement

the slope, and along the creek
8200 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12, 2000
-- Staff had numerous discussions with Mr Lenglet over a 5 year period relating to the purchase of the
rear portion of his property
The Authority's appraised value was substantially less than what Mr Lenglet felt the property was
worth. To resolve this situation, the Authority purchased the entire property, with the intent that the
residence and attached garage, together with a suitable parcel of tableland surrounding same, be
re-sold by the Authority The purchase of 41 Mayall Avenue from Mr Lenglet was completed on
January 18, 1999
The Authority advertised the property for sale in the Toronto Star on September 11, 1999 A number
of people requested information packages and inspected the property, although no offers were
received

concurrence with the sale of the property

appraised value range established by an independent valuation obtained by the Authority It is
proposed that the proceeds from this sale be used in the funding of the purchase of priority
properties within the Authority's Acquisition Project.

BACKGROUND
The Site
The Yonge East subject site is generally 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
The Yonge West subject site is generally located west of Yonge Street, north of Jefferson Sideroad,
East of Bathurst Street and south of eXisting and planned residential area known as the Oak Ridges

May 12. 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 8215
The applicants of Yonge East and Yonge West are requesting amendments to the York Region
Official Plan which designates the lands Rural Policy Area, Significant Forested Lands and Regional
Greenlands System The Town of Richmond Hill Official Plan designates the lands Rural Area and
Major Open Space The purpose of the amendments and associated plans of subdivision is to
redesignate the lands Urban Area allowing for a mixture of residential, major institutional, major open
space and hazard land uses. The location of the Yonge East and Yonge West lands and the
designated features are shown on the attached Map 1
Both Yonge East and Yonge West are entirely located on the Oak Ridges Moraine and are situated
on the watershed divides between the Rouge and Humber River Watersheds with a substantial
portion of the lands internally draining, thereby directly recharging the groundwater supply
A fragile system of significant natural heritage features are found on both sites which collectively
provide for an array of ecological functions. These features include Jefferson Forest, which is an
Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI), head water tributaries of the Rouge and Humber
Rivers, Environmentally Significant Areas (ESA), and 36 Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW)
features recognized by the Ministry of Natural Resources as forming part of the Philips-Bond-
Thompson Wetland Complex and Wilcox-St.George Wetland Complex. These lands fulfill a variety
of ecological functions including habitat for breeding amphibians and birds, habitat for species on
migration, movement between critical habitats for species to complete their life cycles, as well as
Significant vegetation communities and plant species The sites are presently not Fill Regulated,
however, the Authority's Fill Line Extension Program proposes to extend Fill Lines along the
tributaries of the Rouge and Humber Rivers and to encircle the provincially significant wetlands,
In addition to the Yonge East and Yonge West lands, the lands associated with OPA 138 are also
parties at the hearing These lands, which are represented by three landowners, Duke of Richmond,
Yonge Jefferson Group and Crossmar, are located just north of the urban area south of Jefferson
Slderoad, east and west of Yonge Street In 1996, Authority staff did not object to an urban
expansion of the OPA 138 area subject to the completion of Master Environmental Servicing Plans
The OPA 138 urban expansion area Included these lands which are recognized as Phase 2
Because the Town of Richmond Hill has not adopted an urban expansion to include the lands,
Phase 2 portion of OPA 138 IS requesting party status at this hearing in order to receive approval for
a regional urban designation. If the urban designation is granted on these lands, Authority staff will
be involved in the review of the environmental and servicing components of the MESP The MESP
detailed review will not form part of this hearing
Further, the Town had previously initiated an urban expansion area known as the North Leslie
Secondary Planning area located north of Elgin Mills Rd between Highway 404 and Bayview
Avenue. Since the Town is not proceeding with this Secondary Plan amendment, owners within this
area have requested party status at this hearing At this time the status of their applications is not
known Authority staff will report further when the applications are clarified
Status of the Appeals
On November 5, 1999, the Executive Committee authorized Authority staff to seek party status on
referrals made by the landowners of Yonge East. The Executive also requested that staff report back
to the Authority on the status of discussions and seek further direction following this first Prehearing
Conference on whether legal counsel is required to represent the Authority should Authority
Interests remain unresolved
8216 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12, 2000
Since the first prehearing conference of November 19, 1999, the Ontario Municipal Board has held
six Prehearing Conferences in order to determine the status of parties and participants and the
procedural order for the hearing, At this time there are several parties and participants at the
hearing, in excess of 25, representing the Province, Region, Town and Authority, the landowners
of Yonge East and West as well as environmental groups including Save the Rouge Valley Systems,
Federation of Ontario Naturalists and S T 0 R.M
Both the City of Toronto and the Region of Peel were denied party status at the April10-12th
Prehearing The City of Toronto has made application to the Divisional Court for a leave to appeal
the decision of the OMB It is anticipated that the leave application will be considered by the Courts
on May 19, 2000 As a result the OMB has recently delayed the hearing to May 29th, Attached as
Appendix A is the schedule of the hearing which is to continue for 12 weeks. Authority staff will be
primarily participating in the Environmental phase of the hearing expected to start in mid June,
The Town of Richmond Hill at Its meeting of March 6, 2000, requested that the Province immediately
freeze development on the ORM in areas outside of secondary plan areas until such time as a policy
has been adopted pursuant to the Planning Act to protect and enhance environmentally significant
features of the Moraine In addition on April 6, 2000, the Town also denied the application for Yonge
East In relation to the Yonge East proposal, Planning staff concluded that the proposal submitted
by the applicants does not represent appropriate planning and development of these lands located
on the Oak Ridges Moraine. They stated that the overall lack of information in respect to the natural
environment, hydrogeology, survey inventory and environmental justification for development
suggests that appropriate work has not been completed to allow either the Town or agencies such
as the TRCA to definitely decide whether these lands can or should be developed for urban uses
and meet the requirements of the Interim Guidelines for the Oak Ridges Moraine
On May 3, 2000, the Region of York Planning Committee recommended that the request for a
Regional Official Plan amendment for Urban Area designations and the implementing secondary
plans failed to satisfy the requirements of the Regional Official Plan for urban area expansion
Further Regional staff are authorized to appear before the OMB in support of this Regional position
Based on the tests contained Within the Regional Plan, planning staff concluded that the proposals
failed to meet the intent of the Sustainable Natural Environment policies outlined in Chapter 2 of the
Plan and the tests In Chapter 2 related to the Regional Greenlands System, both in terms of the
Identification of features and in terms of the functional attributes and linkages, Key to the policies
IS a requirement that the proposals not have an "overall negative effect" on the functions, attributes
and linkages The recommendation of Planning Committee will be heard by Council on May 11,
2000 In addition Planning Staff will be reporting to the Planning Committee on May 10,2000
regarding the Implications of the ProvinCial Natural Heritage System Map The Region of York is
partnering With the TRCA to obtain peer review assistance in areas of terrestrial biology and
hydrogeology
May 12.2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 8217
The Province of Ontario, at the direction of the OMB, identified the Natural Heritage system for the
Richmond Hill portion of the Moraine which encompasses its natural heritage and water resources
features "knitted" together by connecting lands. In their letter of May 4, 2000, the Province has
stated that the development applications which are currently before the OMB do not adequately
protect the environmental integrity of the moraine The Ministry has concluded that "the subject
lands currently contain a series of significant natural heritage and water resource features and
perform an array of important ecological functions. These features and functions occur within a core
natural heritage and water resource system found in this portion of the Oak Ridges Moraine,
substantial elements of which are found and take place both on the subject lands as well as other
lands within the non-urban area of the Town. As such, the subject proposals do not adequately
protect these important resources as required by the current provincial and regional planning policy
framework. "
RATIONALE
TRCA Program and Policv Interests
The Authority has a well established role 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 have reviewed the applications on the basis of the Provincial Policy
Statements, the Province's Oak Ridges Moraine Implementation Guidelines (ORMIG), the TRCA
Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, the ESA program, other Authority policies
related to water resource management and the Rouge Park Management Plan
Based on thiS polley context and the Information supplied by the applicants, Authority staff provided
comments to both the Town of Richmond Hill and the Region of York as they relate to ensuring that
the natural features and functions, Including ecological linkages are protected from negative impact,
enhanced where possible and maintained in the long term The three areas of interest Authority staff
have identified include the hydrology (surface water), natural heritage and hydrogeology (ground
water) The following is a summary of our issues related to each of these interests:
Hydrology
The AuthOrity's current hydrologiC and hydraulic models for the Humber Watershed and the Rouge
Watershed do not recognize an urban land use over the entire area being proposed for
development. The proponents are updating these models in order to identify whether proposed
development will have a negative downstream impact. The updating of the models will also establish
stormwater management criteria for flood and erosion control This information has not yet been
submitted for review
In addition to setting stormwater management criteria, information is pending with regard to existing
and future conditions related to the internally draining areas, at what storm events, if any, water spills
Into the Humber aRd Rouge Watersheds -INs'staffsToo<:lerstaRdiAg-tMat-pr-esently the water that falls
Within the Internally draining lands directly recharges the groundwater aquifer system
8218 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12, 2000
In the post development scenario, there is an increase in impervious area which results in an
increase in water runoff due to the paved surfaces, In order to deal with the increase in runoff from
the internally draining area it is proposed to outlet water from the site into the surface water system
This is considered a diversion to surface water flow Downstream impacts associated with potential
increase in flooding, erosion, aquatic and terrestrial habitat impacts and maintaining the existing
groundwater flow have not been addressed
Natural Heritage Features and Functions
There are Significant natural heritage features on these lands including ESA's, ANSI's, PSW's,
headwater tributaries and valley lands of the Rouge and Humber Rivers. In the existing agricultural
landscape there are ecological functions which occur within these significant features such as
providing habitat for significant plant species and vegetation communities and breeding and stop
over habitats for wildlife species, (including species of conservation concern)
It is understood that there is movement which occurs on the landscape between features for wildlife
species from low lying wetlands where species are breeding, to upland forests to complete their life
cycles and back again Staff note that the existing agricultural landscape does not represent a
barrier to the existing movement and dispersal of wildlife species.
Therefore, given the significance of the natural features on site and the ecological functions which
occur within and between features on the landscape, this system of core features, ecological
buffering and connections must be maintained
We identify that the site inventory work completed by the proponents is limited and generally
charactenzes species use without detailed data, In order to quantify existing conditions it is
necessary to start with a clear understanding of site conditions and plant and wildlife species use
From eXisting conditions, a comprehensive and viable Environmental Impact Statement can then
Identify what features must be protected, their sensitivities to the proposed change in land use from
agriculture to urban and what ecological buffers and connections are required for protection in the
long term
Both proponents are proposing the elimination of a number of provincially significant wetlands as
well as proposing the detention and treatment of stormwater either entirely within, or by partially
using several provincially significant wetlands, The cumulative impacts of these changes on the
ecological features and extent of ecological buffering required to protect area sensitive species has
not been assessed within the Environmental Impact Statements. Both applications have identified
corridor connections between some of the features. However, the long term viability, ecological
functions, location and number of these connections are questionable with regard to their
maintenance without adequate inventory data and without addressing the impact of stormwater
management facilities,-r.oad..cro()ssin~s..and.o()tRero.(i)peR--6paCe-uses .within and adjacent to the
features and the connections
May 12, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 8219 ,
.
Development is proposed within the drainage catchment areas of the provincially significant
wetlands, Given the sensitivity of the wetlands in terms of vegetation communities and wildlife and
their contribution to water quality and quantity by directly infiltrating wc;lter to the groundwater aquifer
system, careful consideration of how much development can occur within the catchment areas
without causing a negative impact is required The proposal is to provide treated stormwater to the
kettle features to offset impacts associated with changing the drainage patterns as a result of
grading to facilitate development within the catchment. Impacts associated with balancing water
in order to maintain the recharge function and the ability to distribute water in the post development
scenario to the natural heritage features which depend on water supply have not been concluded.
Further by providing stormwater to the features, negative impacts associated with point source
discharge from an outfall rather than existing sheet flow and the installation of an outlet control
structure that will-change the systems from being hydrologically closed to an open system, have not
been adequately assessed
Further, there are steep slopes associated with headwater tributary valley and wetland features.
Long term slope stability and appropriate ecological buffering must be determined,
Hydrogeology
From the data provided by the proponents, there appears to be a groundwater watershed divide
which exists on these lands between the Humber and the Rouge River Watersheds, A large
percentage of the subject lands are internally drained, which means that water is directly recharging
the groundwater aquifer system and contributing to baseflow of the rivers, The groundwater
recharge function is the most significant in the catchment areas without wetland features, as water
is directly infiltrated For example, in some of the dry kettle depressions, water infiltrates on a daily
basis Whereas, water in a lake kettle feature such as Bond Lake, takes 13 years to turn over or
infiltrate into the ground On Yonge West lands, the proponents have identified that there are 63
individual internal catchment areas all performing recharge functions and currently infiltrating water
throughout the site
In the post development conditions, these lands will be regraded and paved thereby increasing the
imperviousness of the lands and significantly decreasing their ability to naturally infiltrate water To
offset thiS decrease In natural recharge and in order to maintain water quality and quantity of
groundwater supply, the proposed stormwater management scheme requires the use of Rapid
Infiltration BasinS (RIB) and stormwater management ponds in order to pretreat water prior to
infiltration The proposal involves infiltrating water into 3 RIB's on the Yonge West lands and 1 RIB
on the Yonge East lands, therefore Changing the natural infiltration pattern from dispersed to
concentrated Into the 4 locations. Questions remain with regard to the proposed locations and sizes
of the facilities in relation to maintaining existing ecological functions, feasibility of full scale
operation, long term maintenance, monitoring, .potential clogging, water quality, downstream
erosion and maiAtaiPling.the",.ecRar.ge..ar:ld..baseflow contril3ution-witRin-the.groundwater divides
between the Humber and Rouge,
8220 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12, 2000
In order to maintain water supply to the wetland features, the stormwater management system
proposes to divert treated water from the stormwater management ponds to the RIB facilities and
the wetland features, The frequent storm event flows will first be used to replenish groundwater and
second to the wetland features. Questions remain with regard to water quality into the wetlands as
well as changing water supply from a hydrologically closed system to an open system where water
will flow through the features. Impacts associated with changes in water levels, including volume,
frequency and duration as well as quality and potential changes to vegetation communities and
habitats has not been satisfactorily addressed
Oak Ridges Moraine
The Authority recognizes the importance of the Moraine functions within the Toronto region As early
as 1989, the TRCA Greenspace Strategy for the Greater Toronto Region proposed that special
attention be given to conserving the headwaters on the Oak Ridges Moraine Complex. Similar
conclusions were reached in the 1989 Kanter report on the Greater Toronto Area Greenlands
Strategy as well as the 1990 second Interim report, Watershed, by the Royal Commission on the
Future of the Toronto Waterfront. These reports all raised the significance of the Oak Ridges
Moraine's contribution to water management and natural heritage In 1991 the Province expressed
a Provincial Interest on the Oak Ridges Moraine and adopted the 1991 Oak Ridges Moraine
Implementation Guidelines, The Province also initiated a long term strategy which when completed
In 1994 was never adopted by the Province
Both the Don and the Humber Watershed Strategies have identified the protection of the moraine
In terms of both the quantity and quality of groundwater and protection of the form and function of
landforms, such as the ORM Similarly the Rouge Park Management Plan established park concept,
goal and objectives for the Rouge Park from Lake Ontario to the ORM In addition, specific to the
Rouge watershed north of Steeles Ave, the draft Rouge Park North Management Plan emphasizes
the protection of the headwater reaches of the Rouge River watershed, Recent initiatives of the
TRCA include the Groundwater Management Strategy which is currently being undertaken in
cooperation with the Regions of Peel, York and Durham
The three Regions, York, Peel and Durham endorsed the preparation of a coordinated long term
strategy for the protection and management of the ORM in 1999 The Authority also on January 7,
2000, provided direction on further steps which need to be taken to establish a policy context,
technical framework and land management program for the protection of the Moraine which is
currently In progress. In the absence of an overall strategy, Authority staff were directed to continue
to work with our member municipal partners to ensure the recognition of the ORM as identified in
the 1994 strategy and advocate an environmental first approach to all planning policies and
development applications,
In light of the AuthOrity's on-going Involvement and recognition of the importance of the ORM and
Its contrlbution.to -the.overall..ef<lV4r-.(i)r:lRl.efl.taWlealtt:t of.the~+oront0,reg~on, the Authority should be
taking a conservative approach to managing the environment within an urban expansion area, This
approach would recognize that we have limited knowledge of the hydrogeological regime and
protection mechanisms for the natural heritage within this sensitive area. Without this certainty our
solutions should err on the side of caution recognizing that the decisions we make today are
Irreversible

Conclusions
The applications to be considered by the Ontario Municipal Board propose including 688 hectares
within the urban boundary of Richmond Hill The applicants have undertaken a number of studies
to demonstrate that they meet the requirements of current Provincial, Regional and Authority
policies. Authority staff have reviewed these studies and have conclude9 that these proposals have
not demonstrated that they meet the intent of the Provincial policy statements, specifically the
Natural Heritage (2 3), Water Quality and Quantity (2.4) and the Natural Hazards (3,1) Nor do the
applications satisfy the intent of the Natural Environment and Regional Greenlands System set out
in the Regional Official Plan
The proposals have not satisfactorily identified the existing features and required ecological
buffering, functions or linkages and have therefore no~ provided sUfficient-protection mechanisms
to sate guard these natural features and their functions including the necessary connecting linkages
within an urban context. Both the Yonge East and West proposals will result in impacts to the
habitat and functions within the core areas 'and these impacts have not been entirely assessed on
an individual basis nor as to their cumulative impact within this significant area of the Oak Ridges
Moraine
It is recognized that this area of the Oak Ridges Moraine is a significant recharge area which
contributes to the many features on site as well as the contribution to baseflow supply to the
Humber and Rouge watersheds. The proposals include a complex system of engineering
mechanisms to attempt to mimic the existing characteristics. While the applicants may demonstrate
that these practices can be implemented, the risks associated with ongoing maintenance, lack of
long term monitoring data and success rates of their use in similar situations and no alternative
methods raises the question of the necessity of managing the environment to this extent. Authority
staff need to ensure that the risks associated with these engineering practices are understood in
context of the need to urban expand in thi~ location. At this time the risks have not been adequately
addressed
The impacts to the Watersheds in terms offlooding, erosion and aquatic and terrestrial habitat have
not yet been addressed by the applicants, which at thi? time makes it impossible to assess the
impacts of surface water changes on site and within the watershed, Without this component of the
review, which is expected by the end of May, assessing the interrelationship be~een the natural
heritage, groundwater and surface water cannot be completed
Based on an evaluation of the material submitted by the applicants, Authority staff have concluded
that these proposals do not meet the intent of the existing policy context, Authority staff have
reviewed several applications within the Oak Ridges Moraine however, the size and distribution of
the natural features on these sites and the number of internally draining areas which contribute to
the recharge of water to the watershed raises a concern as to the extent of risks which are
associated with 'I:lr.ean-expansioA1n.this'BJ"ea. '-in-ligt:lt-'()f,the"site.cMaracteristics and the Authority's
on-going involvement and recognition of the importance of the ORM and its contribution to the
overall environmental health of the Toronto region, the Authority should be taking a conservative
approach to managing the environment within an urban expansion area. This approach would
recognize that we have limited knowledge of the hydrogeological regime and protection
mechanisms for the natural heritage within this sensitive area. Without this certainty our solutions
should err on the Side of caution recognizing that the decisions we make today are irreversible.

BACKGROUND
Resolution #A131/95, Authority Meeting #4/95, May 26,1995, approved the Greenspace Protection
and Acquisition Project 1996-2000
,_.
8226 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12, 2000
At Meeting #6/98, July 24, 1998, the Authority adopted a resolution approving the purchase of the
valley lands associated with 3000 Weston Road, for the price of $10,00000 plus the vendors
reasonable legal costs, The completion dated for this transaction was scheduled for 30 days after
vendors obtaining all necessary final approvals for the developable portion of 3000 Weston Road,
The Boychuks' were proposing to develop a small five lot subdivision, while retaining their home.
The agreement June 8, 1998, entitled the TRCA or its agents after the acceptance of the option to
enter upon the subject lands for the purpose of park development. On the strength of this
agreement the City of Toronto Parks and Recreation constructed a section of the Mid Humber
Regional Trail across the lands, Unfortunately, the subdivision is not proceeding and the owners
requested the TRCA renegotiate the acquisition of the subject valley lands. Given the trail has been
constructed staff felt it was prudent to renegotiate the purchase of the valley lands and are
recommending the purchase as outlined in the recommendations.
Negotiations have been conducted with Lewis R Mitz, Barristers and Solicitors, representatives of
the owners.
The offer at hand is in accordance with the appraised value range of an independent evaluation
obtained by the Authority
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 It is part of the
flood plain of the Humber River and is adjacent to other Authority and publicly owned lands and the
acquisition will help consolidate public ownership in this reach of the Humber River and provide long
term protection
These lands represent a strategic link in creating a continuous pedestrian trail along the Humber
River from Lake Ontario to Steeles Avenue
Also, it is one of the parcels of land that the former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto identified
as being very important to their open space needs and had requested the Authority to attempt to
acquire
At Meeting #10/95 the Authority adopted Resolution #A260/95 as follows'
THA T the Mumclpalrty of Metropo/ltan Toronto be requested to confJ{m the funding identified
In the 1995-1999 Gapfta/.JNor-ks Pf<Jf}ramme'tJRder-Metro-Par-ks and Culture is available on the
fol/owlng baSIS

ii) A maximum of $500,000 in 1996 to assist in the purchase of high priority Mid and
North Humber Val/eylands;
May 12, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 8227
THAT the Authority attempt to match up to $500,000 that The Municipality of Metropolitan
Toronto is providing for the acquisition of the Mid and North Humber Valleylands.
The Lund/Rossiter, Bailey, Herod, Boylen and The Order of St. Basil the Great Holding Corporation
properties have been approved for acquisition by the Authority at Meetings; #10/96, #11/96, #2/97,
#2/98 and #5/98 respectfully, through this project with a 50% contribution from the City All of these
purchases have been fully completed

The proposal is to place fill and undertake grading in a regulated area to facilitate the construction
of stormwater outfall and site grading associated with the expansion of the existing seniors facility
The works are the final phase of a seniors complex. This development has been subject to staff
review through Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments, through which staff commented on
the overall proposed development. A "Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways" permit was
issued for a stormwater outfall in 1998
At Executive Meeting #3, this item was deferred pending review of a revised site plan submitted to
the City of Vaughan. Staff has confirmed that the revised site plan is intended to reflect the design
proposed in this permit application
Control of Flooding

Control of Floodina
Bruce Creek is a well defined valley corridor It is fill regulated and the Authority has completed flood
plain mapping. The tributary of the Bruce Creek is also defined at the area of the singular crossing
proposed At both locations the floodplain is contained within the valley The proponent has
submitted a flood study that identifies the Regional Storm Floodplain limits for this corridor to the
satisfaction of staff
No fill is being introduced in the floodplain, rather, regrading of the existing material is proposed to
construct fairways and in one instance tee boxes, Hydraulic and hydrologic analyses have been
conducted by the applicant to demonstrate that the regrading within the floodplain will not
negatively affect flood storage or the passage of flood flows. No regrading is proposed within the
hydraulic floodway
There will be four clear span bridges constructed over the low flow channel, two on the Bruce Creek
and two on the smaller tributary The bridges have been designed to allow low flows to pass
unimpeded, and less frequent flows to overtop without restriction Studies confirm that the bridges
do not Increase flood elevations
A liability Indemnification agreement is being prepared to manage Authority Interests relating to any
future costs that may occur as a result of natural processes associated with the valley and stream
corridors, such as flooding and erosion. The permit shall not be issued until the agreement has been
executed
Pollution
Sediment control measures will be installed adjacent to the riparian zone and adjacent to valley
slopes to minimize migration of sediments to the watercourse during construction of the golf course.
The bridges will be designed with abutments beyond the low flow channel.
Works are being completed in accordance with a turf management plan prepared by the applicant
addressing irrigation, fertilization, pest control, grounds maintenance and grass mixtures. Their goal
as with the existing course is to develop and implement state-of-the-art golf course maintenance
standards With respect to the environment.
Conservation of Land
There will be no regrading or fill placement on, or adjacent to the valley slopes other than required
for the golf paths
The 18th hole not located within the regulated area ,IS partially within the only portion of the
property that IS a heaVily vegetated woodlot Several site meetings were arranges to demarcate the
boundaries of the fcurway-aloAg aA-eKiSt'tl'lg' Nerdlc-trac-k'opentAg'witMtn tMe-woodlot. In addition the
applicant has agreed to an intenSive revegetation program on tableland areas adjacent to the
woodlot to increase the size of the forest block
The riparian zones currently not covered with woody vegetation at the fairways will be planted with
low shrub plant material to help stabilize the low flow channel and create habitat cover Areas of the
valley not currently vegetated and not utilized for fairways will be replaced with woody vegetation.
8268 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12, 2000
The single fairway crossing on the tributary of the Bruce Creek will span the valley Vegetation within
the sight lines at that fairway will be trimmed and any openings created reinforced with ground
cover
The golf cart path system has been aligned to minimize alteration of existing valley slopes and to
use areas which are devoid of vegetation
An easement for a Mure pedestrian trail is being arranged with the Town of Markham and the TRCA
though the site plan process.

Proposal
The proposal is to retrofit an existing dry pond located at the southeast corner of Highway 7 and
Cochrane Drive built in 1984 into an extended wet pond with a sediment forebay for the purpose of
improved water quality and erosion protection. The stormwater inlet to the pond will remain
unchanged The pond was originally constructed as an off-line facility to provide surface runoff
control from a 25 hectare Cochrane Drive Industrial Subdivision This pond has been identified as
a priority in the Town of Markham Retrofit Study A Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment
was fulfilled in the preparation of this design Design of the facility was based on a Final Design
Brief which was found to be satisfactory by staff
Control of Flooding
Stormwater quantity control IS not required for this catchment area. As such, the retrofit pond is
being designed to maintain the eXisting level of quantity control By respecting the existing footprint
and grades. the proposed works Will not negatively Impact the storage or conveyance of
floodwaters
Pollution
Prior to construction a silt fence will be installed parallel to the river to prevent construction-
generated sediments from entering the Beaver Creek, The proposal includes level 2 water quality
treatment and a distributed runoff control technique to reduce the erosion risk to the east Beaver
Creek. The benefit of this retrofit design is that the controlled discharge from the Storm Water
Management pond will not add to existing erosion.
Conservation of Land
All disturbed areas will be revegetated following construction, no significant resource features will
be impacted by the proposed works. There will be no in-stream works.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information
Proposal
Two tributaries of the Robinson Creek divide the site and join near the south limit of the property
Bqth tributaries drain greater than 125 hectares and a Regional Storm Flood Line has been
established Generally there is not a well defined valley through the upper reaches, however, the
valley becomes well defined as the tributaries approach the confluence.
As part of the initial construction of the Wismer Commons Development, the applicant is proposing
to lower a portion of a headwater tributary using natural channel design principles, construct a road
crossing and, a temporary and permanent on-line quantity control structure on the West Robinson
Creek. A permit was approved by the Executive Committee in October of 1999, to construct two
storm sewer outfalls and two watercourse crossings to facilitate the development. This permit is
considered to be Phase II, the final phase of the approval required for site preparation,
The works are in accordance with an approved Master Environmental Servicing Plan
Control of Flooding
A hydraulic analysis, satisfactory to TRCA staff, was undertaken to support the proposed works and
demonstrated tt.lat a11-flGws.will.b~l'ltaiRedwitl:ljrt4he-corr~dor-of the.West-Robinson Creek and the
created valley of the East Robinson Creek
8272 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12, 2000
The approved Master EnVironmental Servicing Plan envisioned an on-line flood control structure
built into a bridge crossing at the extreme downstream portion of the West Robinson Creek,
However, a temporary structure is required as the downstream landowner is not pursuing
development of the lands where the permanent structure is to be constructed The interim quantity
structure consists of a large berm spanning the corridor which will control flows greater that the 5
year storm events. A permanent on line control structure will be incorporated into the lowering of
the East Robinson Creek
Pollution
A diversion channel approved as part of the first permit will be constructed to contain the flows
dUring the lowering of the East Robinson Creek. An on stream sediment trap will also be constructed
at the downstream end of the channel lowering to contain any remaining flows at the immediate
construction site. All flows will be directed to a tableland SWM pond to ensure that the downstream
portion of the tributary is not adversely impacted
A crossing is required at the downstream end of the lowering of the East Robinson Creek. The
applicant is proposing an open foot box culvert that will straddle the low flow channel. The works
will be conducted in the dry using a diversion channel during construction
The flood control structure on the West Robinson Creek will be constructed in the dry as the
applicant proposes to dam and pump around the construction site
All disturbed areas Will be restored with native woody riparian vegetation Currently there is no
woody vegetation on the West Robinson Creek and minimal on the East Robinson Creek.
Conservation of Land
The channel lowering will include a series of off-line wetlands and the creation of a well defined
valley and Will result In a longer stream length that will be well vegetated This will result in an
improvement as the eXisting channel is straight and has minimal woody vegetation A stormwater
pond Will be constructed at the upstream end of the channel lowering A 10 metre buffer is also
proposed on both sides of the new valley with a pedestrian trail being located within the buffer
There IS an eXisting cold water fishery at 16th Avenue Both branches of Robinson Creek contribute
to thiS downstream fishery; however, cold water inputs do not begin until just north of 16th Avenue.
Fish passage is being provided at the flood control structures, Authorization is required from the
Department of Fisheries and Oceans and a permit approval from the Ministry of Natural Resources.
TRCA staff have conducted several meetings with these approval authorities to ensure a coordinated
and expeditious review and note that approvals are forth coming

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information.
Proposal'
The proposal consists of the installation of a 2745mm diameter gravity sewer south of 16th Avenue
and a 1675mm diameter gravity sewer north of 16th Avenue at a depth between 20 to 50 metres.
Under the invert of the creek the cover will be approximately 5 m The majority of the sewers will be
installed in a tunnel. A short section of the sewer north of the Little Rouge Creek is shallow and will
be constructed in open cut construction Additionally, some smaller diameter sewers are required
nearer to the ground surface to connect the development to the shaft locations and they will be
constructed In open cut trenches
The construction of the sewer along 9th Line will reqUire temporary lowering of the groundwater
level to effectively tunnel and construct the sewer The water from the dewatering systems will be
discharged into the existing storm sewers of adjacent subdivisions (Minto, Cornell) The majority
of the dewatering discharge IS expected to be directed to the Rouge River and the Little Rouge
Creek via eXisting stormwater management facilities The Town of Markham agreed to provide
approval for the.dischar.ge..iAto.the..5y&emsl"'N0.dewateriRg,4s-ex~ected Aorth of 16th Avenue.
Control of Flooding
Staff has determined that the stormwater management ponds in neighbouring subdivisions will be
able to accommodate this quantity of water and flooding will not be implicated during dewatering
As all original grades Will be restored and all excavate for the volume of the pipe will be removed
from the site, there will not be any loss of flood storage or any up or downstream impacts to the
floodplain
8274 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12, 2000
Pollution
Sediment and erosion control practices will be implemented during the open cut construction of the
shallow trunk sewer north of the LIttle Rouge Creek to ensure that construction-generated sediments
do not enter the watercourse During dewatering the stormwater management ponds will provide
adequate detention that will eliminate concerns of the water quality
Conservation of Land
Based on the Dewatering Plan Report the dewatering program is not expected to substantially
impact base flow since the stream channels, both the Rouge and the little Rouge Creek, are poorly
connected to the deeper aquifers. All disturbed areas will be revegetated following construction,

Proposal
The proposal consists of excavating and placing fill material as part of the construction of a single
family dwelling and the installation of a private sewage disposal system Almost the entire property
IS located within the Fill Regulated Area of the Duffins Creek, a small area (on the valley floor) at the
northwest corner of the subject lands is situated within the Regional Storm flood plain.
Control of Flooding
No part of the proposed development will occur within the Regional Storm flood plain of the Duffins
Creek Therefore, the control of flooding will not be impacted by the proposed works
Pollution
Silt fencing will be installed between the work site and the valley top-of-bank to impede the overland
migration of construction-generated sediments.
Conservation of Land
At Authority Meeting #13/96, the purchase of approximately 26 acres of flood plain and valley land
(Resolution #A301/96) from the original owner of the property (John Scott Martin), with the
remaining 2.5 acres being zoned for a single family dwelling was approved Through the severance
process, geotechnical details were provided, confirming that the 25 acre residential lot could
support the construction of a single family dwelling of approximately 2500 square feet on the
tableland portion of the site The proposed dwelling and septic system will be setback 5 metres from
the projected stable slope limit as was determined through the geotechnical report, The entire site
is tree covered; however, care will be taken to retain as much vegetation as possible In accordance
with the geotechnical report recommendations, no vegetation on the Duffins Creek valley wall will
be removed No other Significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works, nor are
there any fisheries concerns eVident at thiS site All filled and disturbed areas Will be revegetated /
stabilized follOWing construction

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information
Proposal
The proposal consists of constructing a stormwater management wet pond to provide level one
fisheries protection The facility IS located In close proximity to Frenchman s Bay which was
Identified as an EnVIronmentally Significant Area by the TRCA. The bay has also been identified as
a warm water fishery and a Provincially Significant Wetland The Stormwater Management Design
Facility Design Brief was reviewed by staff and deemed to be acceptable
Control of Flooding
The stormwater management ponds are designed to provide sufficient storage. The structures will
not have any implications to flooding The subject site is not located within the Regional Storm
Floodplain, therefore, flooding will not be implicated with the grading of the site
Pollution
Standard sediment and erosion control measures will be Implemented to ensure that construction-
generated sediments do not enter the watercourse. The sediment ponds are designed to meet Level
1 fisheries protection, therefore a degradation of water quality is not a concern
Conservation of Land
All disturbed areas are to be restored follOWing construction As there will be no in stream work there
will be no concerns related to fish habitat loss, With the erosion and sedimentation plans in effect,
the potential for a harmful alteration, destruction, disruption (HAD D) of fish habitat through
sedimentation Will be mitigated As well no significant resource features, ESA or wetland will be
Impacted by the proposed works There are no slope stability issues related to the works.

BACKGROUND -
As part of the Strategic Review of BCPV, staff and the consulting team considered a number of
opportunities to improve the food services operation One -of the issues is the availability of space
for weddings and corporate bookings. The Canada West Room is more fully booked than the
existing Victoria Room because it can accommodate a larger group and because the room is
decorated more in keeping with the Village theme The advice staff has received is that bookings
for the Victoria room can be increased significantly if we invest in the proposed renovations.

BACKGROUND
In the course of carrying out the Authority's business many staff members are required to use their
personal vehicle Staff are currently reimbursed for this usage at the rate of 18 to 30 cents/ km
depending upon the amount of travel incurred within the calender year The rate of reimbursement
is established by the Director of Finance and Business Development from time to time in accordance
with resolution #882198,
8282 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12,2000 -.
RATIONALE
A survey (copy attached) of other organizations indicates that our current reimbursement rates are
below what others are paying with local municipalities paying anywhere from 35 to 39 cents/ km
In addition Revenue Canada has recently raised it's tax exempt limit from 35 to 37 cents and CAA
indicates a range in annual driving cost from 34 cents/ km ( for 32, 000 km per year) to 58.5 cents/
km ( for 12,000/ km per year) The Authority's rates have not changed in over 11 years and therefore
effective June 1, 2000 the reimbursement rate will change as follows,
- from 30 to 35 cents/km up to 4,000 km/year
- from 26 to 31 cents/km from 4,001 to 10,700 km /year
- from 22 to 27 cents/ km from 10,701 to 24,000 km/ year
- from 18 to 23 centsl km over 24,000 km/year
In managing the Authority's travel expenditures, staff are encouraged to use public transit and fleet
vehicles whenever and wherever possible There are many beneficial effects to be received by
promoting the greater use of the public transit system One way in which the TTC could promote
greater use of the public transit system is to consider the potential for a transferable corporate pass
aVailable to businesses within the City of Toronto
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The annual cost of this rate increase is projected to be $15,000 with an impact in 2000 estimated
to be $8,750 This increase has been included in the 2000 approved budget
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Staff will be notified of this change in rate and the Chief Administrative Officer will communicate with

THAT the lease of these lands is subject to the approval 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,
THAT the granting of this lease by the City of Toronto is subject to the approval of the City of
Vaughan and the Regional Municipality of York;
AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to a future meeting of the Executive Committee
outlining the details of any proposed lease of the lands . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Thackeray Landfill site IS located immediately north of Steeles Avenue, between the Kipling
Avenue unopened nght-of-way and the Humber River, south of the Canadian National Railway line,
These lands are owned by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authonty and are managed by the
City of Toronto as part of our existing management agreement.
The landfill is approximately 45 hectares in size An area of approximately 20 hectares east of
Kipling Avenue was land filled with municipal solid waste, while a smaller area west of Kipling
Avenue was land filled with excavated materials from nearby construction projects as well as some
construction debris.
The Thackeray Landfill is now closed It was operated between 1968 and 1978 by the former
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto (now City of Toronto) under an agreement with the Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority Approximately 2,3 million tonnes of municipal solid waste were land
filled during the operating life of the landfill, the estimated average depth of municipal solid waste
is approximately 13 metres based on the proposed final contours for the landfill site.
SCOPE AND PURPOSE OF PROJECT
On April 13, 1999, the City of Toronto Council adopted a Works & Utilities Committee report
recommending that proposals be requested and evaluated for the utilization of landfill gas from the
Thackeray Landfill through the issuance of a Request for Expressions of Interest (REOI) and a
Request for Proposals (RFP) The REOI was Issued on June 15, 1999 to prospective proponents
and an advertisement was placed In newspapers for others who may be interested, The REOI
closed July 5 1999 and three candidates were short-listed to receive RFPs.
The City of Toronto Wishes to engage a contractor to deSign, construct, own and operate a landfill
gas collection and utilization system at the Thackeray Landfill The Thackeray Landfill is the City's
fourth largest landfill, All three larger landfills, Keele Valley, Brock West and Beare, have landfill gas
collection and utilization systems, While the Thackeray Landfill is smaller, it is still considered a
viable candidate for landfill gas collection and utilization
8286 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12, 2000
-
The actual site for the project upon which a contractor may install gas treatment and utilization
facilities is a 0 5 hectare area of land near the landfill site entrance The site would include any
necessary reasonable right-of-way for access to the site and any easements to provide access to
water, sanitary and storm sewers, natural gas and electric services that may be required by the
contractor The City has identified that an extension to the proposed site area may be negotiated
depending upon the particular area requirements of the proposed project. The maintenance of the
landfill site entrance and access road to the site will be the contractor's responsibility at the
contractor's expense
A plan illustrating both the Thackeray Landfill site and the area subject to the RFP by the City of
Toronto is attached
RATIONALE
The area which would be subject to the lease by the City of Toronto is quite small in relation to the
entire property The City of Toronto would continue to undertake quarterly sampling of ground and
surface water at the landfill as part of its post-closure monitoring program Additionally, the City
proposes to continue allowing the use of the landfill site by members of a local model aircraft flying
club
The collection and utilization of landfill gas has the enVIronmental benefit of reducing greenhouse
gases emitted by the landfill, In addition to providing an energy source The City of Toronto
currently receives revenues from the operators of the landfill gas utilization systems at its three
largest landfills, and this proposal would provide an additional revenue stream to the City
The City of Toronto currently manages approximately 4,047 hectares (10,000 acres) of Authority land
for parks, recreational and conservation purposes. The cost of development and maintenance
associated with these lands, in addition to taxes and other charges levied against these properties,
are borne by the City of Toronto
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The approval of the Minister of Natural Resources in accordance with Section 21 (2) of the
Conservation Authorities Act, R S 0 1990, Chapter C.27 is required for this lease However, given
that the City of Toronto is currently in the process of finalising the RFP for these lands, specific
details associated with a potential lease are not yet known
The granting of an approval-In-pnnclple allows the City to proceed with the RFP, and upon having
negotiated final lease terms and conditions with a successful proponent, Authority staff will report
and seek Executive Committee approval

the lands (an area approximately 27m by 17m) contained an existing tile bed associated with a
septic system serving his property at 17284 Highway #50. The Enderes had permitted this use on
their lands, and to this end had an informal agreement with Mr Milligan The septic system is in
good working condition, and Mr Milligan has asked that we permit the continued use of this small
fragment of land for this purpose
A plan illustrating the area proposed to be placed under licence agreement is attached

Conservation of Land
Through this reach of the Scarborough Sluffs, extensive bluff erosion has been occurring for a
number of years and the existing houses along the shoreline side of Kingsbury Crescent have been
Impacted by varying degrees. The Authority's previously completed toe revetment and slope
stabilization works were undertaken to protect the existing structures that were at risk through this
reach As part of staffs review of the consent application S46/98, TRCA staff felt that, aJthough
successful to date, these erosion control works do not necessarily eliminate the inherent risk of
subsequent erosion from occurring Accordingly, a geotechnical analysis and an addendum to the
original report were submitted, establishing a setback of 10 metres from the projected long term
stable slope line Due to the unique and dynamic features of the Scarborough Sluffs, TRCA staff
requested an additional 10 metre structural setback (total of 20 metres) for a margin of safety for the
proposed dwelling. The owner has agreed to the recommended structural setback of 20 metres from
the bluff stable slope limit and final drawings are presently under review in this regard No significant
features will be Impacted by the house construction and potential fisheries concerns will be
mitigated by the Installation of Silt fenCing All filled and disturbed areas will be revegetated I

8325 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 June 2, 2000
BACKGROUND
Planning Framework
The Motel Strip Secondary Plan (OfficiaJ Plan Amendment C-65-86) set out a policy commitment to
have the Public Amenity Area lands assembled in public ownership and the shoreline in place before
private redevelopment was allowed to proceed The Motel Strip Secondary Plan was adopted by
City of Etobicoke Council on February 22, 1988, and approved by the Ontario MunicipaJ Board on
April 8, 1992 The decision was confirmed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council (Cabinet) on
December 16, 1992
On September 6, 1994, the City of Etobicoke passed Bylaw 1994 - 149, (CentraJ Site) and on
October 17, 1994, the City passed Bylaw No 1994 - 197, a comprehensive Bylaw to amend the
zoning of the Motel Strip and to implement the provisions of the Secondary Plan. These Bylaws
became the subject of a hearing before the Ontario Municipal Board which commenced in late 1995
The Ontario MuniCipal Board approved By-law 1994 - 149 for the centraJ site on December 18, 1995,
and subsequently approved By-law (1994 - 197) for the remaining lands on February 28, 1996 The
Board's decision was appealed by one property owner on the grounds that the Board erred in law
and on June 13, 1996, the Honourable Justice Steele refused leave to the property owner to appeaJ
to the DivisionaJ Court.
At meeting #3/93, the Authority on April 23, 1993 adopted the Revised Project for the Etobicoke
Motel Strip Waterfront Park (March 1993) at a expenditure of $8,350,000 The project was
subsequently approved by 1) The City of Etobicoke on June 1, 1993, 2) The MunicipaJity of
Metropolitan Toronto on July 7,8,1993,3) The Province of Ontario (Ministry of Natural Resources)
on July 5, 1993, and 4) The Ontario Municipal Board on March 31, 1994
Construction
The Authority commenced the construction of the public amenity area in June 1996 and the project
was completed In 1999 with the official opening on June 19, 1999 (See attached photo)
The former City of Etoblcoke secured funding through the Canada Ontario Infrastructure Program
($11,650,000) to upgrade the existing services on Lake Shore Boulevard, to instaJl new services
under Waterfront Drive, to construct Waterfront Drive and to construct a storm water management
quality faCility for the motel strip area, now known as Humber Bay Shores.
The Authority conveyed the land reqUired for Waterfront Drive to the City of Toronto early in 2000
and Waterfront Drive IS now open to the public.
Property Acquisition
The Motel Strip Secondary Plan, set out a policy commitment to have the lands required for the
Public Amenity Area comprehensively assembled and in public ownership before private
redevelopment was-aJlowed to"proceed' ';i1ere-were-26'parcels"'Ot-private-tand owned by 12 different
owners and it was necessary to acquire land or riparian rights from these owners to achieve the
comprehenSive assembly
Agreements were negotiated for the conveyance of 17 parcels from 7 of the owners. On February
28, 1996, the Authority expropriated land or interest in land from the remaining 5 property owners.
June 2 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 8326
Under Resolution #A2.2/99 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 GadzaJa; V E. GadzaJa Holdings
Limited, and 412264 Ontario Limited (Gadzala). and Robert Hess.
HISTORY OF CLAIMS
Proudfoot Motels Limited (Young) shown as Parcels 3 & 8 on the attached map
The Authority expropriated any interest Proudfoot Motels had in 0.770 acres of Crown land located
south of Parcel 3. The Authority also expropriated 1.271 acres from Parcel 8 of which approximately
o 95 acres are beneath the waters of Lake Ontario
I n the 1950's extensive lake filling was done in the Motel Strip area. I n the case of Parcel 3 the lands
on which the filling was done was owned by the Crown In the early 1980's Proudfoot Motels
commenced an action claiming by adverse possession the filled land south of Parcel 3. This matter
IS being dealt with by the Attorney General's Office of the Province The Authority expropriated the
land at the rear of Parcel 3 to ensure the Authority had good title, in case Proudfoot Motels were
successful In their claim against the Crown It is anticipated that the OMB will require the ownership
Issue be dealt With prior to determining the compensation
Red Carpet Inns Limited (Vona) shown as Parcel 5 on the attached map
The Authority expropriated any interest Red Carpet Inns had in 0.324 acres of Crown land located
south and west of Parcel 5 of which approximately 0.08 acres are beneath the waters of Lake
Ontario The Authority aJso expropriated 0 885 acres from Parcel 5 of which approximately 0 44
acres are beneath the waters of Lake Ontario
In 1959 Vona purchased Parcel 5 The deed included Crown land south and west of Parcel 5 ,
shown as Parcel 31 on the attached map, however he did not get good title to this land as a Crown
patent was never issued
In 1981 the Authority entered into negotiations with Red Carpet Inns to secure a strip of waterfront
lands in public ownership By 1983, an agreement had been reached to exchange lands subject
to approval by the Province This agreement left Red Carpet Inns with a more regular shaped parcel
of land and secured a waterfront strip in public ownership
The exchange with the Province did not take place
As a result of the land exchange between Red Carpet Inns and the Province not being completed,
Red Carpet Inns commenced an action against the Province and the Authority in February of 1995,
claiming In excess of $17 million ThiS claim is being defended by the Authority's insurer
<. '-.
On June 19,2000, mediation of Red Carpet Inns' claim for compensation pursuant to the Authority's
expropriation and for damages for breach of the alleged agreement to exchange lands will
commence before Mr Corey, a former Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. Red Carpet Inns'
claim is now almost $28 million Paul Henry of Chappell, Bushell, Stewart will be representing the
Authority in connection with the expropriation and Deborah Berlach of Stieber Berlach Gibbs will be
representing the Authority's insurer

that allowed the Authority's expropriation to be heard at the same time as the City of Toronto's
expropriation Gadzala is claiming against the Authority $20 million for market value, injurious
affection and loss of development opportunity The City of Toronto and TRCA documents were
produced on March 15, 2000 and the Gadzala documents produced on April 15, 2000
As directed by the OMB, the discoveries are to be completed on or before November 30, 2000, the
next prehearing date
Robert Hess shown as parcel 14 on the attached map

NATURALIZATION AND RELOCATION OF THE BLACK CREEK CHANNEL
THROUGH THE LAMBTON GOLF CLUB
Selection of a consultant to undertake a study related to the feasibility of
naturalizing the Slack Creek Channel and providing storm water quality
improvements to flows on the Slack Creek within the Lambton Golf Club
(Replaced with Addendum Report - RES.#B87jOO)
Moved by' Joan King
Seconded by' Lorna Sissell
THAT the firm of Marshall Macklin Monaghan Ltd. be awarded Phase one of the naturalization
and water quality study, at an upset cost of $11,220, plus applicable taxes . WITHDRAWN
BACKGROUND
The City of Toronto and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority have been approached by
the Lambton Golf Club to investigate the feasibility of removing a portion of the concrete channel
which conveys the Slack Creek through the golf course to its confluence with the Humber River
The golf course is interested in improving the course through the integration of a more naturaJ
drainage feature.
Several meetings were held between Lambton, the City, the Authority and the Slack Creek Project
to discuss their initiative and the merits to undertaking a study to review the feasibility of such an
undertaking In addition to the removal and regeneration of the channel, several additional
objectives were added to the study The City of Toronto, supported by the Authority required that
an assessment of potential to treat the Slack Creek storm flows to improve water quaJity discharges
from the Creek to the Main Humber River was added, aJong with a requirement for a review of
environmental management practices within the golf course
The Lambton Golf Club is also currently undertaking a study related to renewing its permit to take
water for irrigation purposes, as such there may also be an opportunity to assist in resolving their
irrigation needs through an integration with any water quality treatment features, thereby removing
an online water taking and dam within the Humber River
Through discussions with the Lambton Golf Club, the City of Toronto, the Slack Creek Project and
ourselves, it was determined that the Authority would be the appropriate agency to administer this
study, and that the study be undertaken in three independent phases.
The Authority has obtained three proposals to undertake the study The proposals include costs for
all three phases and are as follows:
Marshall.Macklin Monaghan Ltd --Phase One.- '-$11,,-220
Phase Two $12,315
Phase Three $15,440
T otaJ Cost: $38,975 + Taxes
Dillon Consulting Phase One $16,610
Phase Two $20,485
Phase Three $18,590
TotaJ Cost: $55,685 + Taxes
8331 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 June 2, 2000
Totten Sims Hubicki Phase One. $27,375
Phase Two $15,291
Phase Three $14,206
TotaJ Cost: $56,872 + Taxes
RATIONALE
The Authority is proposing to administer this study as the study objectives in removing and
naturalizing the concrete channel are in keeping with the objectives of the Humber River Watershed
Strategy, Legacy, a Strategy for a Healthy Humber The removal of a section of the Authority's flood
control infrastructure while retaining its function will reduce our long term operational maintenance
and replacement costs. The integration of water quality features within the golf course will lead to
the improvement of water quality within the Humber River and Lake Ontario in keeping with the
goals of the Toronto RAP( Remedial Action Plan)
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The Authority has developed a Terms of Reference for undertaking this study and has defined three
separate study phases. The first phase is a feasibility to determine the technical feasibility of
undertaking any removal of the concrete while maintaining the current levels of flood protection the
channel offers, splitting of Slack Creek storm flows and storage requirements to achieve a
reasonable level of water quaJity treatment and whether these activities can be undertaken while
maintaining the golf course needs. The second phase of the study includes further detailed review
and preliminary design of any selected options which are approved by the study participants to be
brought forward for further investigation The second phase will only proceed upon written
agreement from the study participants. The third and final phase will proceed under the same study
team requirements to fine tune the preliminary design of the final selected option. The study will
follow the Authority's Class Environmental Assessment process to include the public and be
integrated with the Humber Watershed Alliance process as well.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The financing of this study will be split between the City of Toronto and the Authority, with both
agencies agreeing to an upset cost of $ 30,000 each, The funds from the City of Toronto have been
have been approved through City Council and transferred to the Authority The Authority's share
along with the City funds are available in account 113-35

THAT the consulting firm of Aquafor Beech Ltd. be retained, at a cost of $28,750, exclusive of
GST, to undertake the Humber River Watershed Hydrology Model - Update ..... CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In 1997, the Humber River Watershed Hydrology/Hydraulics and Stormwater Management Study
was completed by Aquafor Beech Ltd. Sinqe that time, a number of issues have arisen requiring that
the model be updated For example, since the completion of the study, the extent of proposed
urbanization has exceeded what was originally assumed
RATIONALE
Rather than request proposals from a number of consultants, it is proposed to sole source this work
to Aquafor Beech Ltd. as their existing knowledge of the model would provide efficiencies. Aquafor
Beech has also agreed to offer their services at a reduced rate for an approximate savings of 10%.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Authority staff have provided a detailed task list to Aquafor Beech Ltd for which they have provided
a quote of $28,750, exclusive of GST Staff are of the opinion that this amount represents good value
for the extent of work requested

In 1986, TRCA commissioned Marshall Macklin Monaghan to undertake the Rouge River Urban
Drainage Plan Study (RRUDS) The purpose of that study was to assist the TRCA, the watershed
municipalities and provincial agencies in a review of existing watershed management strategies,
policies and criteria relating to urban drainage within the Rouge River watershed A number of
technical studies were carried out during the two phases of the study in order to provide information
on impacts of urbanization on storm runoff quantity and quality control and environmental and
fisheries resources. The results of the study assisted the parties in confirming existing management
strategies and in developing new strategies for implementation within the Rouge River
June 2, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 8334
The QHROUGE model (based on QUALHYMO Version 1 1) was developed as part of the RRUDS
A number of land use scenarios were modelled ranging from existing to very high growth to ultimate
growth (complete development) As development planning has proceeded over the past decade,
the model has been updated in some sub-areas by incorporating more detailed sub-models
prepared by consultants carrying out the planning studies. In some areas, development has aJready
exceeded the limits identified within the Very High Growth scenario of the RRUDS In order to have
a more comprehensive framework for future planning decisions, it is appropriate to update the
model at this time.
RATIONALE

RES.#B86/00 - CITY OF VAUGHAN REPORT ON MUNICIPAL RESTRUCTURING
The City of Vaughan has released a report prepared by Mr Gardner Church
which makes recommendations regarding local government restructuring
Some of the recommendations have implications to the Authority The City
of Vaughan has circulated this report for comment.
Moved by' Donna Patterson
Seconded by' Lorna Bissell
June 2, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 8338
THAT the City of Vaughan be advised that:
1. although local and regional municipal governance models are of great interest to the
Authority, the Authority's jurisdiction is based on watersheds rather than municipal
political boundaries and because any new municipal structure would allow the
Authority to fulfill its mandate, it would be inappropriate to comment specifically on the
various models put forward,
2. the Authority does not support the notion that the Authority's watershed management
responsibilities duplicate in any way the local municipal responsibilities, but rather
complement and support municipal decision-making through the provision of good
environmental science, technical information and advice based on a water~hed
perspective,
3. the Authority supports the concept of a GTA level body which can bring additional
funding and policy development to the protection of our natural resources and our
environment;
4. within any changes to the local, regional or GTA municipal structure, the concept of
managing our natural resources on a watershed basis must be maintained,
AND FURTHER THAT the City of Vaughan be requested to include the concept of managing
our natural resources on a watershed basis within any recommendations it might make with
respect to the future governance of the GTA . . ..... .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The City of Vaughan retained Mr Gardner Church to prepare a report which would provide the City
with some options the City could put forward regarding municipal restructuring within the GTA and
within the Region of York in particular The Report makes several recommendations and provides
various options for the restructuring of the municipalities within the Region of York
A copy of the recommendations is attached to this report.
The Report provides an overview of the many challenges facing the Region and the GTA, an
overview of various criteria that would be used to evaluate restructuring options and an evaluation
of the various options put forward Because the Authority's jurisdiction is based on the watershed
boundaries not the municipal political boundaries, the Authority should not be commenting on the
municipal restructuring options. This should be left to municipalities, their constituents and the
province of Ontario
Obviously, any municipal restructuring would have some impact on issues such as the distribution
of funding and Al:lthority membership,..l3wt.these caR-be w0Fk-ed-Qut once the municipal structure
has been decided The Conservation Authorities Act, for example, provides some direction as to
how municipalities share the funding of the Authority and how membership would be determined.
8339 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 June 2, 2000
Mr Church, apart from making recommendations regarding the municipaJ structure within the
Region of York, aJso made some recommendations for the governance of the GT A as a whole
through the establishment of a Greater Toronto Executive Council (GTEC) These recommendations
have implications for the Authority for it would appear that this Authority and the other Authorities
within the GTA would be eliminated or at least some of their responsibilities for watershed
management would be given to the municipalities and the GTEC He does not address the many
other responsibilities that the Authorities have related to recreation, education, the management of
a significant amount of land and the operation and maintenance of many flood and erosion control
structures.
The following recommendations from Mr Church's report identify the role and responsibilities of the
GTEC'
1 The Greater Toronto Area, including Hamilton, Halton, Peel, Toronto, York and Durham should be
governed by approximately 10 cities and a powerful Greater Toronto Executive Gouncil (GTEG)
which would have policy setting and regulatory responsibilities in a number of key areas and only
a few administrative roles.
2. The policy responsibilities of the GTEG should include.
. social services policy and funding,
. police governance,
. transportation planning and transportation infrastructure funding,
. growth management through urban design policies that have the force of law,
. policy for water and sewage treatment and financing of truck distribution,
. conservation and watershed management,
. external marketing of Toronto and its environs.
3. The administrative functions of the GTEG should be restricted to those matters that cannot
reasonably be assigned to the municipal governments in the GTA. They would include GO transit,
a treasury function and a council secretariat, a policy group, watershed management and police
governance (pending results of a policing study)
4 The GTEG should replace all regional bodies, conservation authorities, the Go Transit Board, and
the Greater Toronto Services Board
5 The GTEG should raise much of its budget from user charges and should have access to a
property tax levy collected by the municipalities of the GTA.
6. The GTEG should consist of the Mayors and Deputy Mayors of the approximately 10 municipalities
in a restructured GTA. Multiple voting should be provided to give fair, but not full, weight to the
larger municipalities.in.the GTA.
Mr Church's report contains a short section on Watershed Management in which he suggests that
the work of the Authority duplicates that of the municipalities and that policy development for our
natural environment should rest with a body at the GT A level which he later suggests should be the
GTEC This section is provided below
June 2, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 8340
Watershed Management
. There is convincing evidence that the current division of responsibilities between a system of
special purpose bodies and municipalities is both duplicative and ineffective. The reports by
David Crombie written in the last decade, demonstrate the need for an integrated GTA watershed
management function. This function is linked to growth planning and infrastructure development.
The future quality of the wet lands, river systems and lakeshores requires that a body at the GTA
level have the clear and sole responsibilities to develop policies in this area.
COMMENT
As indicated earlier, it would be inappropriate for the Authority to comment on the various
recommendations related to the municipal structure within the Region of York or on the
recommendation which would create the Greater Toronto Executive Committee (GTEC), a body
somewhat similar in nature to the Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB) The Authority's
jurisdiction should not be affected by any municipal structure as we carry out our responsibilities on
a watershed basis, not political boundaries. Similarly, the creation of a GTEC instead of a GTSB
should not affect the Authorities role or responsibilities. The current GTSB or a new body such as
the GTEC can in fact provide additional support to our work through the provision of f~nding and
policy help at the GT A level
It is appropriate to comment on the suggestion that the work of the Authorities can be carried out
by the local municipalities and that the Authorities should be replaced by the GTEC Although the
Report does not suggest what functions would be carried out by the municipalities, it does
recommend that the GTEC should be responsible for conservation and watershed management.
In 1995, the six Authorities within the GT A presented a brief to the GT A Task Force (Golden
Committee) This Brief provided an overview of what Conservation Authorities do, outlined the
principles of watershed management and made several recommendations ensuring that the
concept of managing on the basis of watersheds would not be lost in any restructuring of the GT A.
Also, it highlighted the need for the protection of our environment and the effective management
of our natural resources to be considered in making any recommendations for the restructuring of
the GT A.
Mr Church's report is similar to the GTA Task Force exercise and the issues with respect to the
protection of our environment in any restructuring discussion, remain According, it is appropriate
to respond to the City of Vaughan's report on the restructuring of the Region of York and the GTA
with the same recommendations provided to the GTA Task Force in 1995
The recommendations contained in the Authorities' 1995 Brief do not suggest that the creation of
a body such as a GTEC with responsibility for watershed management would be inappropriate.
They do support retaining-the-concept of-managing-oljr natural-resources'on a watershed basis as
opposed to any political boundary Also, these recommendations confirms that the Authorities do
not duplicate municipal functions but rather complement them Municipalities, because they are
not watershed based, could not provide the watershed perspective that is required when making
various planning decisions. Because the Authority is able to provide this watershed perspective,
there is no need for each municipality to duplicate the Authority expertise. Also, without this
expertise, downstream municipalities could not be assured that the downstream impacts of
upstream decisions are considered
8341 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 June 2, 2000
The pertinent recommendations from the Authority's 1995 Brief are provided below
. the protection of our environment and the effective management of our natural resources
within the GTA must be part of your decision making process,
. the watershed must be the basic management unit for environmental protection and natural
resource management,
. watershed based planning and management must be a component of planned growth
management and human health,
. conservation authorities must be confirmed as the agencies responsible for watershed
management,
. in order to achieve streamlining and to eliminate duplication of services, a comprehensive
approach to the delivery of natural resource management and environmental protection
programs must utilize conservation authorities as the locally based "one-window" agency,
as proposed in a brief prepared by the Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario,
for presentation to the Province of Ontario, Restructuring Resource Management in
Ontario,
. the provincial government must rationalize its water management strategies, with a much
greater emphasis on ground water protection and management,
. there must be a rationalization of the financing of all aspects of watershed management
carried out through the conservation authorities,
. the headwaters, valley and stream corridors, the Oak Ridges Moraine, the Niagara
Escarpment and the Lake Ontario and Simcoe waterfronts must form the "green
infrastructure" of the GTA and their features, functions and landforms must be protected,
. the conservation authorities within the GTA are flexible and willing to embrace change for
the betterment of their watersheds and recognize that, as the structure and governance of
the GTA evolves, we must change to meet the demands of the future in a renewed and
revitalized GTA.
The GTA Task Force released their report in January of 1996 In commenting on this report the six
Authorities within the GTA were pleased to report that virtually all of the recommendations put
forward in our Brief were incorporated within the GTA Task Force's report either as specific
recommendations or as part of the supporting rationale within the text. Specifically related to the
question of managing on-a watershed.basis, the-GTA.T.ask-F-oree-Rot,only endorsed the concept of
watershed management but supported the Conservation Authorities as the logical delivery agency
June 2, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 8342
SUMMARY
It is expected there will be many reports similar to the City of Vaughan's over the next little while as
the 905 Region deals with the restructuring issue. As in our Brief to t{1e GT A Task Force and now
in our response to the Vaughan report, the concept of managing our naturaJ resources on a
watershed basis must not be lost. Ontario is the envy of the world with respect to using the
watershed as the basis for natural resource management. In the Brief to the GTA Task Force we
attempted to outline the importance of the watershed approach and it is worth repeating in this
report. The bolded text below is an excerpt from the Brief
The Watershed Unit
Managing on a watershed basis is fundament~1 and has become broadly accep~ed. The
management of natural-resources takes place most effectively within the context of a natural
resource system, an ecosystem. A watersh~d provides an ecosystem wherein "everything is
connected to everything else"; where activities upstream impact on conditions downstream.
The authorities' work in conservation and stewardship of renewable natural resources on a
watershed basis puts them in the position of technical expert on land-water issues. Because
of our unique area of jurisdiction, and recognizing that natural systems do not follow political
boundaries, conservation aU,thorities must work across jurisdictional boundaries and require.
an understanding of the political complexities of ecosystem management. The management
of our natural resources on a watershed basis lends itself to the opportunity to address
"jurisdictional gridlock" by enabling one agency to develop and implement natural resource
management throughout the watershed. This not only supports an ecosystem approach based
on the input of the community, but is more cost effective, accountable and consistent.
The Principles of Watershed Management
In order to deliver effective watershed management it is necessary:
. to conserve ecosystems in a sustainable manner or, where degraded, to regenerate;
. to consider the entire ecosystem and all interrelationships amongst components in a
comprehensive way;
. to effectively incorporate community interest in any watershed management decision,
. to ensure management decisions that are consistent with matters of provincial policy
and direction,
. to ensl:lre simplicitYi-efficiency.and cost-eff-ectiveness;-'and
. to develop and maintain intermunicipal and interagency coordination and cooperation.
8343 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 June 2, 2000
I am therefore recommending that the Authority in their comments on the City of Vaughan report
indicate that the local, Regional and GTA governance models are of great interest to us, but our
mandate and jurisdiction does not rely on the municipaJ structure and therefore we are prepared to
work within whatever structure is ultimately recommended and implemented We do however have
great concerns about losing the watershed based approach for natural resource management and
we would urge the City of Vaughan to support this concept.

Golf Club has committed to the additional costs associated with the Dillon proposal.

BACKGROUND
The proposed study will investigate the feasibility of removing the concrete channel and providing
stormwater quality to the Black Creek flows prior to entering the Humber River within the Lambton
Golf course. The original motivation for undertaking this study came from the Golf Course which is
interested in removing the concrete channel and replacing it with a softer more natural watercourse
feature, to improve the aesthetics and playability of their course The Authority in conjunction with
the City of Toronto agreed to undertake the study in three phases with the understanding that our
design concerns related to flooding and water quality were forefront in the process.
In the consultant selection process, all members of the Study team, which included, the City of
Toronto, Black Creek Project, Lambton Golf Club and the TRCA ranked Dillon Consulting first. The
firm of Marshall Mack~in Monaghan Ltd. was originally-selected-as second, but the significant overall
cost differences between Dillon's proposal and that of Marshall Macklin Monaghan Ltd led us to
select them as the consultant to be awarded the study contract for phase one The Lambton Golf
course expressed some concern related to this selection and requested that we revise our selection
While we were not in a position to expend additional public funds , we recognised that the
cooperation and support of the Lambton Golf Club will be a crucial element in developing a
successful approach to re-naturalizing this section of the Black Creek. Staff informed Lambton that
while we could not justify selecting Dillon Consulting Ltd. based upon the economics, however, if
June 2, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 8344
Lambton was prepared to fund-the difference in costs for the overall study based upon the phased
approach, it was felt that we could select Dillon Consulting Ltd.
At the Lambton Golf Club, Board of Directors Meeting, held May 29, 2000, the Club agreed to fund
the difference in cost between the low bid and Dillon Consulting Confirmation of the Club's
agreement to this funding process was received May 31, 2000.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The financing of this study will be split between the City of Toronto and the Authority, with the
Lambton Golf Club paying for the difference in overall ~tudy costs above the low bid costs for each
phase. The City of Toronto and the Authority agreec;f to.an.upset cost of $ 30,000 each The total
estimated cost of the study. to be done in 3 phases, based on the Dillon proposal is $55,685. The
cost is $16,500 higher than the lowest cost proposal submitted by Marshall Macklin Monaghan. It
is, therefore, estimated that the Lambton Golf Club will contribute $16,500 over the entire three
phases of the study The funds from the City of Toronto have been approved through City Council
and transferred to the Authority The Authority's share along with the City funds are available in
account 113-35. The Authority will invoice the Lambton Golf Club for their share of the costs for each
phase.

The subject property is on located Part/Block 88, Plan 65M-2059 (150 Bruce street), in the City of
Vaughan and is entirely within the valley corridor of the Humber River which is regulated pursuant
to the Authority's Regulation 158 (see attached map)
BACKGROUND
In 1997, the applicant filed an application to the Committee of Adjustment of the City of Vaughan
requesting variance from zoning setbacks and severance of the existing parcel to create a new lot
for the construction of a single family residential dwelling Authority staff comments on the
applications requested that the applications be refused because the proposal does not comply
with the Authority's programs and policies Specifically, the severance will create a new residential
lot within the valley corridor where no viable building envelope exists The severance was
conditionally approved in August 1999 by the Committee of Adjustment, subject to approval by
the TRCA
8350 EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE #6/00 Friday, July 7, 2000
PROPOSAL
The proposal is to place fill in a regulated area to facilitate the construction of a new residence on
a proposed new lot. The works include construction of a new structure within the valley corridor
of the Humber River, partially below top of bank of the Humber River Valley
SITE HISTORY
The existing parcel was created by Land Division Application B 180/86 This application was
refused by the City of Vaughan in 1986 and subsequently approved by the Ontario Municipal
Board in 1988. Through this process the Authority identified its concerns with the limited amount
of tableland available to create a building lot. At that time, the Authority's concerns were
addressed through the implementation of the Zoning By-law amendment application Z.145.85
which identified a building envelope for one dwelling on the subject property As a condition of
approval, a Site Plan Agreement was registered on title on August 11, 1988 which identified that
only one dwelling could be constructed on the property within the specified building envelope.
The Agreement also identified that no fill was to be placed in the rear or side yards, and no
vegetation was to be removed beyond the top of bank.
Subsequent to the passing of the Zoning By-law Amendment, a severance application, B049/90
was received by the Authority in 1990 The concept plan submitted with the application identified
a proposed second dwelling located over the top of bank. Authority staff did not support the
application because it involved the placement of fill over the top of bank and development beyond
the top of bank. The proposed concept did not comply with the previous conditions of approval
granted under the Zoning By-law amendment. The application was withdrawn by the applicant.
On January 18, 1991, the Authority received an application (008/91) under Ontario Regulation 158
to place fill within a Fill Regulated area, again to facilitate the construction of a proposed second
dwelling on the same property This application did not comply with the Authority's policies for
conservation of land and was recommended for a hearing Upon request by the applicant, the
hearing was deferred, and later the application was withdrawn.
POLICY AND RATIONALE
In 1994, the Authority adopted the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. The policies
in this document form the staff guidelines for reviewing development applications Pursuant to the
policies in this document, staff has confirmed that a suitable building envelope does not exist on
the tableland portion of the lot, due to potential geotechnical constraints and negative impacts on
the conservation of land Staff has indicated our position in discussions with the proponent since
early 1997
Friday, July 7, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 8351
In 1997 the Authority was circulated another application for the proposed severance of the lands
in order to construct a new single family residence (B 104/97) In our letter of September 16, 1998
the Authority reiterated its position that we were not in- the position to support the application,
based on Authority policy as expressed in our Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program
Staff also reiterated that the proposal was not consistent with the Site Plan Agreement which was
registered on title to protect the valley from any further development. The Land Division
application approved by the City of Vaughan Committee of Adjustment in 1999 includes conditions
which must be satisfied by August 2000 Staff has advised the applicant that the condition
requiring approval from the TRCA can not be satisfied (as expressed in numerous correspondence
on a number of applications) as there is no building envelope that will not negatively impact on
Authority interests The applicant is seeking a formal position from the Authority in the form of a
decision by this Hearing Board.
The subject property is located entirely within the valley corridor of the Humber River and within
the Authority's Fill Regulation Line. The Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program (Section 4.2) states that new urban development shall not be permitted within valley and
stream corridors This application constitutes new development in that there is no existing lot of
record permitting the proposed new dwelling
The objective of the Authority, as outlined in the Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program, is to prevent new development that would introduce risk to life and property associated
with erosion, slope stability and flooding issues and the conservation of the natural valley corridor
resource. The intent of the restriction registered on title, and the zoning by-law amendment, -both
approved in 1988 was to provide appropriate protection measures to ensure that these objectives
would be met.
This position is supported by Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act and Regulation 158
which allows the Authority to permit or refuse in writing fill placement or development that may
affect the control of flooding, pollution or the conservation of land
A recent (1996) decision by the Mining and Lands Commissioner concluded that the conservation
of an ecosystem is comprehended in the words "conservation of land" Staff are of the opinion
that the proposed works on a individual and cumulative scale will result in impacts on the natural
heritage system in the form of loss of forest cover and habitat and alteration to the valley feature.
SUMMARY
The proposed lot and residential building are located entirely within the valley corridor of the
Humber River The proposal will introduce potential risk associated within slope stability and
erosion and will negatively impact the function of the natural valley corridor On this basis, staff
is recommending the-application be refused as it-affects the conservation of land

"Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project 1996-2000" Flood Plain and
Conservation Component, Humber River Watershed
Moved by' Jim McMaster
Seconded by' John Adams
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 0 187 hectares (0.46 acres), more or
less, be purchased from the City of Vaughan, said land consisting of an irregular shaped
parcel of land being Part of Lot 15, Concession 6 WYS, City of Vaughan, Regional
Municipality of York, and designated as Block 12, Plan 65M-3252,
THAT the purchase price be $2.00,

at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to closing for land
transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to be paid,
AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to
execute all necessary documentation required CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #4/95 held on May 26,1995, Resolution #A131/95 approved the Greenspace
Protection and Acquisition Project.
The lands in question form part of a larger parcel of land originally owned by 752872 Ontario
Limited Through the development review process technical staff identified this parcel as forming
part of a tributary valley corridor of the East Humber River, and suitable for public acquisition.
The lands were scheduled to be transferred into Authority ownership as a condition of approval
related to the draft plan of subdivision, instead this specific parcel was erroneously conveyed to
the City of Vaughan along with a number of other municipal conveyances. Through recent
discussions with staff at the City, it was felt these lands should be transferred to the Authority in
light of our extensive adjoining land ownership at Boyd
The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed this proposal and is in
concurrence with the acquisition of this property
A plan illustrating the specific location is attached
Friday, July 7, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 8361
RATIONALE
This property is located within the Authority's approved master plan for acquisition and consists
of a tributary valley of the East Humber River This parcel is also situated within the Pine Valley
Forest Environmentally Significant Area (ESA #21) Securing this parcel in the Authority's
ownership will further our conservation objectives and further consolidate our land holdings in this
area.
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
Taxes on the property are estimated to be less than $100 for 2000 based on Current Value
Assessment.
The addition of the subject parcel of land will not significantly impact the Authority's maintenance
costs at this location.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
This purchase will be charged to Account 004-11-502 - Flood Control Hazard Account.

BACKGROUND
Resolution #A131/95, Authority Meeting #4/95, May 26, 1995, approved the Greenspace
Protection and Acquisition Project 1996-2000
Marisa Cundari submitted a land division application to' sever an existing lot in Kirby Heights
Estates, an existing residential subdivision located'north of Kirby Road, midway between Highway
#27 and Kipling Avenue, in the City of Vaughan A portion of this new residential lot is within the
East Humber River Environmentally Significant Area (ESA #127), and is vegetated with mature
deciduous, coniferous and mixed forest dominated by sugar maple, American beeph and eastern
hemlock.
A suitable building envelope outside the ESA was identified by Authority staff, and the creation of
the new lot was approved on the condition the applicant grant the Authority a permanent easement
over those lands within the ESA, in order to prohibit structural encroachment, placement of fill or
regrading, orthe removal of vegetation. Securing this easement furthers the Authority's objectives
for conservation and will ensure development does not take place within the ESA.
Negotiations have been conducted with the owner's solicitor, Mr Marcello De Francesco, Barrister
and Solicitor
8364 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 Friday, July 7, 2000

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information
Proposal
The proposal consists of the reconstruction of 2km of the existing North Lake Road from Yonge
Street to Bayview which will transform the road from a rural to urban cross-section including full
road reconstruction, curb, gutter, storm sewer installation and stormwater quality techniques Only
the first third of the road between Yonge and Lake Wilcox requires a permit from TRCA. The
existing culverts are structurally degraded The proposed culverts will be placed at the same
location and elevation as the existing in order not to affect the drainage patterns on the area. One
culvert will be extended 4 m northward
Control of Floodinq
There will be minimal loss of flood storage due to the road widening The proposed culverts are
sized the same as the existing, therefore, flooding impacts will not increase and existing drainage
patterns will remain
Pollution
Standard erosion control measures will be implemented to ensure that construction-generated
sediments do not enter the watercourse. Currently there are no stormwater quality controls in this
area of North Lake Road, however, the reconstruction will provide for stormwater quality measures
such as an Oil-grit separator into the design
Conservation of Land
All disturbed areas are to be restored following construction With the erosion and sedimentation
plans in effect, the potential for a harmful alteration, destruction, disruption (HADD) of fish habitat
through sedimentation wm be rnitig.ated No significant resource features will be impacted by the

8406 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 Fnday, July 7, 2000
Proposal
The proposal consists of the installation of a 2745mm diameter gravity sewer south of 16th
Avenue at a depth between 20 to 50 metres Under the invert of the creek the cover will be
approximately 5 m. Some smaller diameter sewers are required nearer to the ground surface to
connect the development to the shaft locations and they will be constructed in open cut trenches
The construction of the sewer along 9th Line will require temporary lowering of the groundwater
level to effectively tunnel and construct the sewer The water from the dewatering systems will be
discharged into the 9th Line Tributary at this location. Erosion control works are proposed along
the 9th Line Tributary to accommodate the increase in water anticipated with the project.
Control of Floodinq
Staff has determined that the receiving tributary will be able to accommodate this quantity of water
and flooding will not be implicated during dewatering As all original grades will be restored and
all excavate for the volume of the pipe will be removed from the site, there will not be any loss of
flood storage or any up or downstream impacts to the floodplain
Pollution
Sediment and erosion control practices will be implemented during construction to ensure that
construction-generated sediments do not enter the watercourse. The erosion control works
involve the use of river run stone for bank protection and rock check dams to control sediment
migration.
Conservation of Land
Based on the Dewatering Plan Report the dewatering program is not expected to substantially
impact base flow since the neighbouring stream channels, are poorly connected to the deeper
aquifers All disturbed areas will be revegetated following construction With the erosion and
sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a harmful alteration, destruction and disruption
(HAD D) of fish habitat through sedimentation will be mitigated No significant resource features
will be impacted by the proposed works

BACKGROUND
In 1999, the Authority retained the services of W F Baird and Associates to undertake a coastal
engineering analysis of the sedimentation and shoreline erosion problems at Ashbridges Bay Park
and Coatsworth Cut. W F Baird was awarded the assignment following a thorough review of
submissions from three consultants
Baird's fi'nal report provided a detailed documentation on the source and patterns of sedimentation
and erosion which was supported by state-of-the art coastal numerical modelling With this
knowledge and understanding of the problems, the study Steering Committee and Consultant
developed four design concepts to address both the short term and long term solutions The four
options ranged in cost from $150,000 annual maintenance dredging (lido-nothing" option) to $1 9
million for short breakwater extensions to $5 6 million for major modifications to Ashbridges Bay
Park land base configuration
Friday, July 7, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 8409
Following a meeting with members of the Steering Committee and Ashbridges Bay Boating
Federation, Authority staff propose to present two preferred options for final analysis and review
through the public consultation process.
RATIONALE
It is proposed to sole source this study to W F Baird and Associates on the basis that there will
be efficiencies and continuity in the analysis ofthe preferred options The coastal engineering data
base, developed as part of the initial analysis and development of alternatives, will be used to
assess the preferred option and to complete the final design Baird has committed to providing
an expert team, knowledgeable in coastal engineering, the public consultation process and the
specific issues relating to the Ashbridges Bay Park area.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
This study will follow the Conservation Authorities Class Environmental Assessment process. A
Steering Committee, representing members of the boating community, interested residents and

RES.#B102/00 - POTABLE WATER SAFETY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
To advise the Chair and Members of the Executive Committee of the
Authority's past practice with respect to potable water testing at it's public
use facilities, the issues surrounding the closure of Claremont Field Centre
and to request approval of the attached Potable Water Safety Management
Program.
Moved by Jim McMaster
Seconded by Michael Di Biase
THAT the attached Potable Water Safety Management Program be approved CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Past Practice The Authority has had an ongoing water testing program for many years The most
recent version is contained within the Authority's Safety Manual and was last revised in December
1994 The program was designed to ensure monthly water sampling at all it's public use facilities
consisting of the Authority's seven (7) conservation areas, it's four (4) Field Centres and the
Kortright Centre for Conservation Of these facilities, Albion Conservation Area, Albion Field Centre
and Claremont Field Centre have chlorinating equipmentfortreatment of their well water The Boyd
Field Centre is equipped with a UV treatment system All other public use facilities either have well
or municipal water supply and water quality has consistently met Ministry of Health guidelines so
that chlorination of the water has not been required The Authority's past practice has required
supervisors in each location to have water samples taken monthly The samples are forwarded to
the Safety Officer who transports them to the appropriate testing laboratories with the exception
of the Claremont Field Centre which transports their sample to a laboratory directly The results
of the water sampling are reported from the laboratory to the Safety Officer who acts upon any
poor readings The program operates within the guidelines of the Ministry of Health and has
operated without incident until the closing of the Claremont Field Centre due to poor water quality
this past June 1
Claremont Incident: The events at Claremont unfolded as follows
During May, the water testing was operating in the normal manner On May 24, staff confirmed
the chlorinator was working properly On May 29 a water sample was taken by the Durham Health
Unit. Later that same day staff discovered that the chlorinator pump was not working On June 1
the Claremont Field Centre was ordered closed by the Durham Regional Health Unit The order
was issued because the total coliform count was greater than 80ppm while the e-coli count was
zero This closure was a precautionary move. The cause of the high coliform count was
attributable to the malfunction of the pump which supplied chlorine to the chlorinator The
equipment has been repaired, the water determined safe and the closure of the Claremont Field
Centre was lifted as of June 29th It is now open and operational Unfortunately the closure was
for a period of 4 weeks which nas resulted in not only a significant loss of revenue but also client's
questioning the safety of our water and in one case a request for relocation from Claremont to a
different location
Future Practice In light of the Claremont inCident and a review of our procedures, we have
identified some areas where we could improve upon our water testing program at our public use
facilities These improvements consist of developing protocols for'
Friday, July 7, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 8411
. daily checking of water equipment
. daily testing of residual chlorine.
Accordingly a new Water Safety Management Program has been drafted and distributed to the
appropriate managers to deal with these areas Furthermore this program will be reviewed with
the applicable Health Units in the coming month Components of the new program call for'
. monthly water sampling (and more pften where circumstances warrant) conducted by the
Safety Officer
. daily inspection of the equipment by staff and logging of such inspections
. daily testing of the residuaJ chlorine level and the logging of such testing
. monthly auditing of these logs
. monthly inspection of all water equipment
. re-training of all staff involved with water quality
Swimminq Facilities
The following rules for the testing program at TRCA swimming facilities are strictly adhered to and
met:
. Bruce's Mill and Albion Hills Conservation Areas conduct daily samples of the chlorine
level, with samples sent to the local Health Unit at least once a week.;
. Heart Lake Conservation Area is untreated A sample is taken by the Peel Health Unit once
a week;
. Petticoat Creek Conservation Area is chlorinated to public pool standards, with samples
taken three times a day
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The various health units will be asked for their comments and approval of this new Water
Management Safety Program.

Potable Water Safety Management Program
Public Use Facilities - Water For Human Consumption and Use
1) Potable Water Testin~ Pro~ram
Overview
All public use facilities which
. receive their drinking water from wells, or
. remote locations on municipal water supply which do not use their water during extended
shut down periods ( greater than 1 month)
must participate in the Potable Water Testing Program to ensure their water is safe for human
consumption and use.
Three (3) water samples must be taken 1 week apart prior to opening any facility Only 3
consecutive samples with resulting 0 total coliform and 0 e coli (fecal) coliform counts are
acceptable for the re-opening of a facility Once this has been achieved water samples must be
taken monthly
The Safety Officer will visit each site during the first week of each month to take all samples and
transport to a provincial testing laboratory
Safety Officer's Responsibilities
The Safety Officer will take water samples during the first week of each month in accordance with
the following procedure
(a) Record the code number of the sample on the test bottle cap with a waterproof felt marker The
codes for all locations are shown on the lists at the end of this section under Drinking Water
Sample Codes
ii) To avoid contamination, keep the sample bottle sealed until ready to sample (ie. After steps
jii) and iv) below have been completed) Do not allow anything to touch the inside of the bottle
cap or neck.
jji) Remove any hose, aerator, screen or washers from the tap
iv) Run the water for 3 minutes and fill the sample bottle to the mark indicated without changing
the rate of the water flow If a hand pump is involved, pump for at least 3 minutes
(e) Put the cap back on tightly, store in a cooler and deliver to a provincial testing laboratory that
same day
Friday, July 7, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 8413
Supervisor's Responsibilities
i) If a facility has been shut down for a period greater than 1 month the facility supervisor must
contact the Safety Officer to arrange for water sampling before the facility is re-open The
supervisor is required to-allow sufficient time for at leasf3 consecutive water tests to be taken
and results known before re-opening
2) Water Samplin~r Results, Actions Required
Safety Officer's Responsibilities
i) The Safety Officer is responsible for obtaining the test results within 3 days of the testing and
reviewing the results.
The test results will indicate a result for total coliform and a result for e.coli (fecal) coliform.
Total coliform is an indicator of the bacteriological quality of the drinking water Coliforms are
not necessarily harmful but their occurrence in water may indicate the presence of other
pathogenic organisms. Coliforms can originate from such sources as soil, vegetation, human
and animal wastes A result indicating total coliforms in the water does not necessarily indicate
the presence of e.coli coliform. E.coli bacteria are normally harmless inhabitants of the
intestines of humans and animals The presence of e-coli in drinking water is a definitive
indicator of recent fecal pollution and therefore poses a potential health risk.
ii) Upon receipt of the results the Safety Officer will take the following actions
. If results are 0 total coliform and 0 e.coli (fecal) coliform no action is required
If a rating of 0 total coliform and 0 e.coli (fecal) coliform is not
received the Safety Officer must take the following action:
. If an e.coli (fecal) coliform rating of 1 or more is received, he/ she will contact the facility and
order an immediate shut down of the water system which 'Will remain in effect until it is declared
safe.
. If a total coliform-rating of 1 to 10 is received with an e coli (fecal) coliform rating of 0, he/she
will advise the facility of the results and re-sample within 7 days.
. If total coliform ratin!;1 of over 10 is received, he/ she will contact the facility and order an
immediate shut down of the water system which will remain in effect until it is declared safe.
Hi) Where a water system is shut down, the Safety Officer will ensure this has occurred and will
work with Facility staff for 1dentification' and-correction of the problem.
iv) In all cases the Safety Officer will forward a hard copy of the test results to the facility
Supervisor as well as retain a copy for his/ her files
Supervisor's Responsibilities
i) The supervisor is responsible to comply with the direction of the Safety Officer as noted above.
8414 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 Fnday, July 7, 2000
ii) He/ She must ensure they receive a copy of each month's water testing results and maintain
a file for inquiry by the public or future reference
3) Water Equipment Protocols
Overview
Equally important to an ongoing Water Testing Program, is the requirement to ensure on a daily
basis that all water equipment is working in an effective manner This is to be achieved by daily
checks of the chlorination and UV equipment. Also where chlorination equipment is used, a daily
check of the chlorine level at outflow sources must be conducted
Supervisor's Responsibilities
i) Where a location is equipped with chlorination equipment for their water supply the facility
supervisor must ensure an employee is assigned each day to carry out the EMPLOYEE
RESPONSIBILITIES section as described below
ji) Arrange for training of staff with respect to the chlorination equipment. The training is to be
provided by the authorized supplier/contractor of the system
iii) Retraining of staff and inspection of the chlorination equipment should occur annually
iv) Where chlorine level or equipment malfunction is detected, remedy the problem immediately
and contact the Safety Officer
Emplovee's Responsibilities
On a daily basis the aS5igned employee must.
i) Check the chlorination equipment at the location to ensure it is in good working order ( where
training IS required, a recognized contractor will provide the training)
ii) Record the fact that the check was done by initially in the Equipment Log Book immediately
after conducting the check.
iil) Test the chlorination level of the water from an outflow with the testing equipment provided
iv) Record the results of the test In the Chlorination Level Log Book immediately after determining
the test results
i) Where chlorination equipment is not working or the chlorination level is below or above
advise the facility supervisor immediately for corrective action
Safety Officer' responsibilities
i) The Safety Officer is responsible for ensuring the above noted checks are carried out as
required by auditing both the Equipment Log Book and the Chlorination Level Log Book on
a monthly basis
Friday, July 7, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 8415
ii) Where equipment or chlorination level problems are detected the Safety Officer will decide
whether the facility's water supply shall be shut off
In all cases where we cannot be certain that the water sulmJy
is safe for human consumption and use, we must shut off the
water system immediately and seek direction from the
!W.R.rQPriate internal, ~uthorities.

Authority at meeting #5/00 held on May 26, 2000, be rescinded,
THAT 7.626 acres (3.086 hectares), more or less, consisting of an irregular shaped parcel
of land, improved with a 2,886 square foot single family dwelling with a triple car garage and
a detached two car garage with an unfinished loft, be acquired from Betty Jean Smith and
George William Ball, said lands being Part of Lot 18, Concession 8, City of Vaughan,
Regional Municipality of York, situate on the east side of Highway #27, south of Major
Mackenzie Drive,
THAT the purchase price is to be as follows'
(a) $350,000 payable in cash,
(b) Income tax receipt is to be made available in the amount of $ 300,000, in
accordance with the rules set out by Revenue Canada, to reflect the charitable
donation in the amount of $300,000,
THAT the purchase be subject to obtaining a minimum of $1 00,000 in funding from the City
of Vaughan and/or the Regional Municipality of York prior to closing,
THAT the Authority receive conveyance of the land required free from encumbrance, subject
to existing service easements;
THAT Gardiner Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete the transaction
at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for
land transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to be paid,
AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to
execute all necessary documentation required CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The original transaction approved by the Members of the Authority in May of 2000 was negotiated
with consultants acting on behalf of the owners The value of the property was based on appraisal
reports prepared by the Authority and the owner in the fall of 1999
We were advised by the owner's representative, that in fact the transaction was not satisfactory
to the owners as in their opinion the market value of the property had increased significantly since
the fall of 1999 To support this opinion the owners engaged a third appraiser to value the
property This appraisal was recently completed and has been reviewed by an appraiser engaged
by the Authority
The owners have indicated that they are satisfied with the original payment of $350,000 in cash
and have asked that the income tax receipt amount be increased from $162,500 to $300,000
July 28, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/00 8419
RATIONALE
The subject property falls within the Authority's approved master plan for acquisition The site is
flood plain and valley lands and will connect two valley parcels north and south of the property that
will be acquired by the City of Vaughan or the Authority through the development process
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
It is proposed that the buildings on the property be rented with the revenue being utilized to cover
taxes, insurance and maintenance of the property
FINANCIAL DETAILS
It is proposed that prior to closing the Authority receive a minimum of $100,000 from City of
Vaughan and/or the Regional Municipality of York. Staff will approach the Province for the
remainder of the funding for the purchase. If this funding is not forthcoming, the Authority will fund
the purchase from the Land Sale Revenue Reserve. This may leave the Reserve in a deficit
position at the end of 2000 which will require future land sales to restore the balance.

(former North York) The Committee of Adjustment for the City' of Toronto
has conditionally approved an application by Bowan Investments Inc. to
subdivide a parcel of land within the Don River valley corridor for the
purposes of adding the lands to existing residential lots to increase their
size.
Moved by' Joan King
Seconded by John Adams
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff be directed to pursue an appeal
to the Ontario Municipal Board on a decision of the Committee of Adjustment for the City of
Toronto to conditionally approve an application by Bowanlnvestments Inc. to subdivide Part
of Block 64, Plan 66M-2304, Don River, City of Toronto (former North York),
AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to appear before Council forthe City of Toronto, when
and if they consider th~ matter of amending the subdivision agreement for Draft Plan of
Subdivision 55T-94004 as required by a condition imp~sed on the consent application for
Bowan Investments Inc. voicing our objection to this application.
AMENDMENT
RES.#B106/00
Moved by Joan King
Seconded by' John Adams
THAT the following be F.nserted as the second paragraph of the main motion.
THAT staff send a letter to the Chair of North York Community Council, copied to the
Departments of Planning, Legal, Parks and Recreation, and Real Estate, requesting that the
City of Toronto deal with this application before it goes to the Ontario Municipal Board and
to report to the October City Council Meeting.
THE AMENDMENT WAS . . . . CARRIED
THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Bowan Investments Inc. recently applied to the Committee of Adjustment for a severance of a
block of land at the end of Bowan Court for the express purpose of adding land to three
surrounding lots This land is part of the valley corridor of the East Don. Part of the block is valley
side slope and part is within 10 metres of the top of bank. The addition of the land to those lots
will effectively result in residential lots being established below the top of bank.
8422 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/00 July 28, 2000
When this subdivision was dealt with in 1995, the Authority and the developer discussed the lot
and block layouts It was agreed that the block (now referred to as Block 64 and then referred to
as Block 65) would not be used for residential purposes and would be conveyed back to the
Sisters of St Joseph for the Diocese of Toronto in Upper Canada (the original landowner in the
area) or conveyed to the City or the Authority Conditions 6, 7 and 16 on Plan of Subdivision 55T-
94004 clearly stated this The lots were reconfigured at that time to accommodate these
conditions ensuring that the lots met City standards as well as the applicants desire for spacious
lots
On May 5, 1999, the subdivision agreement was registered with the City The agreement
contained clause 1 7 6 which required Bowan to convey Block 64 to the Sisters This has never
been complied with
In 2000, Bowan Investments Inc made application to the Committee of Adjustment to sever Block
64 to convey the parts thereof to the adjoining landowners of Lots 26, 27 and 28. This will
effectively make these lots bigger and more importantly will eliminate the buffer between the top
of bank and the lots and will also result in a private lot on the valley side slopes
The Official Plan for the City discourages any severance within the valley corridor and we believe
that permitting this severance does not reflect the intent of the Official Plan
However, the Committee of Adjustment over the Authority's opposition, approved the severance
of Block 64 subject to a condition that Bowan achieve an amendment of the subdivision
agreement essentially releasing it from its obligation to convey the lands to the Sisters or the City
or the Authority
The appeal deadline for Consent Application B 030/00 NY is July 27, 2000 As such, staff has
appealed the matter to the Ontario Municipal Board on the basis of the following rationale. Staff
are seeking support from the Executive Committee on this appeal
RATIONALE
Based on Authority Policy the appeal has been requested based on the following rationale This
rationale has been forwarded to the Ontario Municipal Board by Jonathan Wigley of Baker &
McKenzie Barristers & Solicitors to support our appeal
1 Bowan Investments Inc. seeks to sever into four parcels, an irregular parcel of land at the
end of Bowan Court within the valley corridor of the Don River
2 The expressed purpose of the severance is to allow part of an undeveloped subdivision
block (Block 64) ~() be added to existing lots 26, 27 and 28 to increase their lot sizes
3 Block 64 contains land above and below top of bank in this vicinity
4 The Valley am: Stream Corridor Management Program of the Authority prohibits new
development, including the creation of residential lots to extend into the valley corridor
In particular, the Authority is most concerned about residential lots extending below the top
of bank.
... ,
,
July 28, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/00 8423
5 When the subdivision (of which Block 64 is part) was approved, draft plan conditions were
established in con;:;ultation with the TRCA ~r;)d the developer, Bowar Investments Inc The
-Authority requir~d thatBlock 64 not be us~q for residential purposes and be retained-in the
ownership of the Sisters' of St. Joseph for the Diocese of Upper Canada (the original land
owner of the subdivision) or alternatively transferred to publiQ ownership with the City of
Toronto or the Authority The developer agreed to deliver the tand back to the ownership
of the-Sisters and a specific clause was included in the Subdivision Agreement registered
on title'to that effect. (This'c1atIs~ incorrectly refers to Block 65 but clearly meant Block 64)
This requirement has not been complied with and the deveroper is now'attempting to avoid
its agreement. It is submitted that without any good and valid planning reason, the
developer should not be permitted to ~o. ~o
6 This severance will make it impossible for the.developer to comply with the subdivision
agreement.
7 The creation of residential lots within. the valley corridor including valley side slope is not
good and proper planning
8. The severance does not conform with the Official Plan for the City of Toronto (Metro Plan)
which specifically discourages lot development within the valley corridor
9 Lots 26, 27 and 28 as designed were. large enough' to accommodate the residential
dwellings on those lands with an appropriate buffer between-the top of bank and the lot
boundary The current severance to add to those lots-is.,physically unnecessary for the use
of the lots It will result in the developer eliminating'the buffer between the lot boundary
and top of bank__and in fact establi!5hing,a residential lot boundary down the side slopes
of the valley If this had beer;) proposed' at ttie.outset, the Autrority would- have opposed
the development of the plan of subdivision It is highly inappropriate to now attempt'to
accomplish through the back door what could not be accomplished and which was agreed
to at the front door
10 By permittill9 this kind of lot addition, a precedent will be set allowing part of a valley slope
to form part of a residential lot which precedent is dangerous and inappropriate. It further
permits fragmentation of the valley corridor limiting the Authority's ability to ensure long
term protection of this resource and P!Jts pressure on these lands for residential
development purposes.
11 The granting of this severance fails to consider the matters set out in section 51 (24) of the
Planning Act and in particular the suit?lbility of the land for purposes for which it is being
subdivided and th~ conservation of natural-resources

pedestrian crossing over the watercourse A temporary 8m access road will be constructed west
of the proposed vehiculal' crossing which will utilize an existing farm crossing in order to undertake
the topsoil stripping assc.;iated with the grading for the temporary parking lot.
To gain access to the IBM site when traveling northbound on Warden Avenue, an overpass is
proposed to be constructed The ramp will be situated on the east side of Warden and will be
elevated by 4 piers which will be located outside the watercourse but within the Regional
Floodplain and Fill Regulated Area. Staff has reviewed the location of the piers and they are
located outside the meander belt. Landowner authorization has been received from the Region
of York for the overpass on Warden, a Regional Road
A vehicular crossing of the Rouge River is required to gain access to the proposed south parking
lot. The vehicular crossing has a length of 12m and will span the entire bankfull channel The
vehicular crossing will require placement of fill for the asphalt roadway approaches The hydraulic
capacity of the structure will be such that it provides a 25 year level of safety for both vehicular and
pedestrian movement. There will not be any concerns related to river erosion
The covered pedestrian walkway crossing of the Rouge is proposed to allow access from the
proposed south parking lot to the IBM facility in the north The pedestrian walkway will be installed
in two 42m lengths The mid-footing will be located within the Regional Floodplain but outside the
meander belt. The walkway will have approaches at grade.

8472 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/00 July 28, 2000
.. -- ..
Proposal
The proposal consists of re-establishing a natural creek meander, removing the failing gabion wall,
and replacing the creek bed stone with smaller materials appropriate for fish habitat The new
channel will be stabilized by riparian vegetation and will consist of a system of pools and riffles to
create better fish habitat. The existing creek bed will be converted to a grassed drainage swale
to direct currently untreated runoff towards stormwater management ponds for storage and
cleansing The proposal is designed to correct an existing erosion problem along the Highway 48
embankment. The existing gab ion wall is deteriorating partly due to a failure of two stormwater
discharge pipes which are broken off behind the structure The result is erosion to the bank behind
the wall and sedimentation in the watercourse. TRCA staff are part of the steering committee that
chose this preferred alternative.
Control of Floodinq
The proposed scenario will yield lower flow velocities and similar flood elevations to the existing
In some instances, the flood elevations in the proposed creek alignment are slightly higher than
in the existing and are largely due to the increased channel roughness and meander as well as
minor elevation changes to the stream invert. The increase in elevations are minor and offer no
adverse effects to the floodplain All excess fill will be removed from site.
Pollution
Standard erosion control measures will be implemented to ensure that construction-generated
sediments do not enter the watercourse. The new channel will be built off line in the dry Once
the new channel is fully operational the existing creek bed will be reshaped to create stormwater
swales and wetland cells for quality and quantity control All major storm drains will be directed into
stormwater wetlands designed to slow flows and remove sediment and nutrients before
discharging into the creek. Stream crossings will be by a temporary bridge installed above the
bank full elevation
Conservation of Land
All disturbed areas are to be restored following construction This project requires authorization
from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans TRCA staff will be in a position to issue a permit
as soon as confirmation is received from DFO The naturalization project will enhance the creek
providing fish habitat and terrestrial and aquatic plantings No significant terrestrial resource
feature will be impacted
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

To alter a waterway on Lot 18, Concession 6, 7, (McCowan Road south of Major
1 Mackenzie), in the Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed as located on the
property owned by Region Of York.
The purpose is to construct structures (2 culverts, gabion basket headwall) in a Regional Storm
Floodplain, and to alter a watercourse, Robinson Creek, a tributary of the 'Rouge (via open cut
crossing for a 600 mm wutermain on east side of McCowan) The'subjec.t site is not within a Fill
Regulated Area.
The permit will be issued for the period of July 28, 2000 to July 27, 2002.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information
Proposal
The prop9sal is part of the road improvements for McCowan Road This project consists of
" installing 2 culverts, with elevated inverts alongside the existing culvert to alleviate backwater effects
on the Robinson Creek. The new culverts will only convey water during high' discharge events
Gabion basket headwalls will also be placed along existing and ProP9sed culverts within the
,< Regional Floodplain During the installation of the 600 mm diameter watermain.on the east side
of McCowan there will be a watercourse crossing Two alternatives 'have been proposed by the
proponent. Alternative A is the open cut crossing of Robinson Creek. Alternative B is the
tunneling under the creek The window for in water works (ie open cut) is July 1 to September 15.
Depending on timing or '~onstruction, either Alternative A or B may be utilized and either are , -
satisfactory The preference is open cut as tunneling is more expensive. The excavation and fill
placement for this 600mm diameter watermain installation, backfill for the 2 culvert insti3,lIations,
gabion basket placement, and the fill for roadway embankment widening are not located within
a. Fill. Regulated Area. The road widening for McCowan was previously reviewed by TRCA staff
under the Environmental Assessment process
Control of Floodinq
There will be a minor increase in the certain sections of the profile of the road, and minor
decreases in other areas The impact on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters will be minor
to nil The proposed culverts are designed to alleviate the present backwater impacts of the
present culvert. \
Pollution
Standard erosion controL measures will be implemented to ensure that construction-generated
sediments do not enter the watercour$e. (ie rock check dams, coffer dams, silt fences)

Proposal,'
The proposal consists of altering a waterway by constructing a 3 95 metre extension onto the west
side of an existing culvert beneath Leslie Street and reconstruct / re-naturalize 20 metres of stream
channel, within a cold water tributary of the Rouge River The works are necessary as part the
future widening of Leslie Street by the Regional Municipality of York and are needed at this time
to solve a backwater problem upstream of the roadway culvert. The Executive Committee
~pproved the larger park development plan (which included various watercourse crossings,
realignments, re-naturali?:ations, etc) in 1998 The proposed culvert extension / channel re-
naturalization work will facilitate the development of the proposed park entrance from Leslie Street.
The subject watercourse is not presently fill regulated and drains an upstream area of less than
125 hectares
Control of Flooding
Reconstructing the 20 metres of watercourse channel upstream (Le west) of the Leslie Street
culvert will improve flow conveyance, maintain aquatic habitat, and provide a smooth transition
between the extended culvert and the new channel As a result, the localized backwater flooding
problem will be eliminated by the proposed works
Pollution
Standard erosion and sedimentation control measures will be implemented to ensure that
construction-generated sediments do not enter the watercourse. The entire work area will be
isolated by coffer dams, with, streamflow pumped around the work site.
Conservation of Land
The proposed watercourse re-naturalization work will apply natural channel design principles and
techniques to compensate for the harmful alteration, disruption, or destruction (HAD D) of fish
habitat as required by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The TRCA permit will riot
be released until Authorization from the DFO has been received for this project. The disturbed
riparian zone will be revegetated with native woody and herbaceous plant species in the future
when the Leslie Street widening work has been completed by the Region of York.

Program approved by the Executive Committee on July 7,2000
Moved by Maria Augimeri

THAT the following responses to the Executive Committee's request for clarification
concerning the Authority's Po~able Wa~er Safety Management Program be received.
. . .. .. . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At the July 7, 2000 meeting of the Executive Committee, the Authority's new Potable Water Safety
Management Program V'.as approved In providing it's approval the committee requested
clarification on 2 points The first was the issue of laboratories utilized for water testing and the
second was a request for clarification as to the interpretation of the test results
With respect to the first issue, the water samples provided by the Authority are delivered to
accredited provincial testing laboratories There is no charge- for this service as the labs are
operated by the Ministry of Health
With respect to interpretation and action taken, the Safety Officer is responsible for obtaining the
test results within 3 days of the testing and revi.ewing th~ results Th~ test results will indicate a
result for total coliform and a result for e.coli (fecal) coliform Total coliform is an indicator of the
bacteriological quality of the drinking water Coliforms are not necessarily harmful but their
occurrence in water may'indicate the presence of other pathogenic organisms Coliforms can
originate from such squrces as soil, vegetation, human and animal wastes A result indicating total
coliforms inthe water does not necessarily indicate the presence of e.coli coliform E.coli bacteria
are normally harmless inhabitants of the intestines of hUrr1?ns and animals The presence of e-coli
in drinking water is a definitive indicator of recent fecal pollution and therefore poses a potential
health risk'.
8494 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/00 July 28, 2000
ii) Upon receipt of the results the Safety Officer will take the following actions
. If results are 0 total coliform and 0 e.coli (fecal) coliform no action is required
If a rating of 0 total coliform and 0 e.coli (fecal) coliform is not received the Safety Officer must take
the following action
. If an e.coli (fecal) coliform rating of 1 or more is received, he/ she will contact the facility
and order an immediate shut down of the water system which will remain in effect until it
is declared safe.
. If a total coliform rating of 1 to 10 is received with an e.coli (fecal) coliform rating of 0,
he/she will advise the facility of the results and re-sample within 7 days
. If total coliform rating of over 10 is received, he/ she will contact the facility and order an
immediate shut down of the water system which will remain in effect until it is declared safe.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The various health units will be asked for their comments and approval of this new Potable Water
Management Safety Program.

runs adjacent to a signifIcaIlt portion of the Don River Valley Earlier this year, Trans-
Northern decided to cease operating its Don Valley pipeline effective January 1, 2001
Of the several oil sluppers who utilise Trans-Northern's Don Valley Lateral, only one
shipper, Roy-L Canadian Fuels Co. Ltd, has objected to the closure of the pipeline. The
matter is now before the National Energy Board (the "Board"). The Board is scheduled
to hold a publIc hearing on October 24, 2000, m order to obtain the evidence and VIews
of interested persons on the proposed suspensIOn of-the oil servIce.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The subject property is on located Part/Block 88, Plan 65M-2059 (150 Bruce street), in the City of
Vaughan and is entirely within the valley corridor of the Humber River which is regulated pursuant
to the Authority's Regulation 158 (see attached map)
8500 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/00 September 15, 2000
BACKGROUND
In 1997, the applicant filed an application to the Committee of Adjustment of the City of Vaughan
requesting variance from zoning setbacks and severance of the existing parcel to create a new lot
for the construction of a single family residential dwelling Authority staff comments on the
applications requested that the applications be refused because the proposal does not comply
with the Authority's programs and policies Specifically, the severance will create a new residential
lot within the valley corridor where no viable building envelope exists The severance was
conditionally approved in August 1999 by the Committee of Adjustment, subject to approval by
the TRCA.
PROPOSAL
The proposal is to place fill in a regulated area to facilitate the construction of a new residence on
a proposed new lot. The works include construction of a new structure within the valley corridor
of the Humber River, partially below top of bank of the Humber River Valley
SITE HISTORY
The existing parcel was created by Land Division Application B180/86 This application was
refused by the City of Vaughan in 1986 and subsequently approved by the Ontario Municipal
Board in 1988 Through this process the Authority identified its concerns with the limited amount
of tableland available to create a building lot. At that time, the Authority's concerns were
addressed through the implementation of the Zoning By-law amendment application Z.145 85
which identified a building envelope for one dwelling on the subject property As a condition of
approval, a Site Plan Agreement was registered on title on August 11, 1988 which identified that
only one dwelling could be constructed on the property within the specified building envelope,
The Agreement also identified that no fill was to be placed in the rear or side yards, and no
vegetation was to be removed beyond the top of bank.
Subsequent to the passing of the Zoning By-law Amendment, a severance application, B049/90
was received by the Authority in 1990 The concept plan submitted with the application identified
a proposed second dwelling located over the top of bank Authority staff did not support the
application because it involved the placement of fill over the top of bank and development beyond
the top of bank. The proposed concept did not comply with the previous conditions of approval
granted under the Zoning By-Iawamendment. The application was withdrawn by the applicant.
On January 18, 1991, the Authority received an application (008/91) under Ontario Regulation 158
to place fill within a Fill Regulated area, again to facilitate the construction of a proposed second
dwelling on the same property This application did not comply with the Authority's policies for
conservation of land and was recommended for a hearing Upon request by the applicant, the
hearing was deferred, and later the application was withdrawn
POLICY AND RATIONALE
In 1994, the Authority adopted the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program The policies
in this document form the staff guidelines for reviewing development applications Pursuant to the
policies in this document, staff has confirmed that a suitable building envelope does not exist on
the tableland portion of the lot, due to potential geotechnical constraints and negative impacts on
the conservation of land Staff has indicated our position in discussions with the proponent since
early 1997
September 15, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/00 8501
In 1997 the Authority was circulated another application for the proposed severance of the lands
in order to construct a new single family residence (B 104/97) In our letter of September 16, 1998
the Authority reiterated its position that we were not in the position to support the application,
based on Authority policy as expressed in our Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program
Staff also reiterated that the proposal was not consistent with the Site Plan Agreement which was
registered on title to protect the valley from any further development. The Land Division
application approved by the City of Vaughan Committee of Adjustment in 1999 includes conditions
whIch must be satisfied by August 2000 Staff has advised the applicant that the condition
requiring approval from the TRCA can not be satisfied (as expressed in numerous correspondence
on a number of applications) as there is no building envelope that will not negatively impact on
Authority interests The applicant is seeking a formal position from the Authority in the form of a
decision by this Hearing Board
The subject property is located entirely within the valley corridor of the Humber River and within
the Authority's Fill Regulation Line The Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program (Section 4 2) states that new urban development shall not be permitted within valley and
stream corridors This application constitutes new development in that there is no existing lot of
record permitting the proposed new dwelling
The objective of the Authority, as outlined in the Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program, is to prevent new development that would introduce risk to life and property associated
with erosion, slope stability and flooding issues and the conservation of Lhe natural valley corridor
resource. The intent of the restriction registered on title, and the zoning by-law amendment, both
approved in 1988 was to ')rovide appropriate protection measures to ensure that these objectives
would be met.
This position is supported by Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act and Regulation 158
which allows the Authority to permit or refuse in writing fill placement or development that may
affect the control of flooding, pollution or the conservation of land
A recent (1996) decision by the Mining and Lands Commissioner concluded that the conservation
of an ecosystem is comprehended in the words "conservation of land" Staff are of the opinion
that the proposed works on a Individual and cumulative scale will result in Impacts on the natural
heritage system in the form of loss of forest cover and habitat and alteration to the valley feature.
SUMMARY
The proposed lot and residential building are located entirely within the valley corridor of the
Humber River The proposal will introduce potential risk associated within slope stability and
erosion and will negatively impact the function of the natural valley corridor On this basis, staff
is recommending the application be refused as it affects the conservation of land

Part of Lot 30, Concession 2, City of Vaughan, (Rizmi Holdings Limited)
Application for Licence under the Aggregate Resources Act. Receipt of a
Notice of 20 day response penod for an application made pursuant to the
Aggregate Resources Act by Rizmi Holdings Limited (Rizmi) to excavate
aggregate from a pit located in Part Lot 30, Concession 2, City of Vaughan.
Moved by Maria Augimeri
Seconded by' Ron Moeser
8522 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/00 September 15, 2000
THE EXECUTIVE COMi\dTTEE RECOMMENDS THATthe Ministry of Natural Resources and
the applicant be advised that The Toronto & Region Conservation Authority maintains it's
objection to the application made by Rizmi Holdings Limited under the Aggregate Resources
Act, for the reasons set out in the staff report related thereto,
AND FURTHER THATthe City of Vaughan, Region of York, Ministry of Municipal Affairs, and
the Ontario Municipal Board be so advised CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In 1998, Authority staff received a Notice of Application under the Aggregate Resources Act for a
Category 1, Class A Licence for a 39 7 hectare parcel of land owned by Rizmi Holdings Limited
located In Part Lot 30, Concession 2 WYS, City of Vaughan
The lands are partially located within the McGill Environmentally Significant Area (ESA 73), within
the Oak Ridges Moraine and headwaters of the Don River This site is also designated an Area
of Natural & Scientific Interest (ANSI) by the Ministry of Natural Resources
At Executive Committee Meeting #8/98, held October 16, 1998, the following resolution was
adopted by the Toront<, b.nd Region Conservation Authority
"IT IS RECOMME"vDED THAT the Ministry of Natural Resources and the applicant
be advised that The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority objects to the
application made by Rizmi Holdings Limited under the Aggregate Resources Act,
for the reasons set out in the staff report related thereto,
AND FURTHER THAT the City of Vaughan, Region of York, Ministry of Municipal
Affairs, and the Ontario Municipal Board be so advised"
The basis for the objection was that the impacts which would result to the form, features and
functions of the McGill Environmentally Significant Area as part of the Licence Application were
unacceptable, and not in keeping with the overall program and policy interests of the Authority as
Identified in the Valley & Stream Corridor Management Program (1994) The following specific
environmental impacts were of concern
. loss of habitat cover, which in the Don River Watershed is limited to 9 4% (woodland and
wetland) ,
. the removal of fo! est blocks where there is evidence of use by area sensitive and forest
interior species,
. Displacement of several regionally rare plant species,
. Reduction in the ~Quthern linkage between the ESA on the east side of Dufferin Street with
the ESA on the west side of Dufferin Street,
. Potential impacts to the significant hydrogeological function (recharge) since the proposal
does not appear to be in compliance with the T erraprobe Report as it relates to infiltration,
. Loss of a small piece of the Provincially Significant Wetland as identified by the Ministry of
Natural Resources (King-Vaughan Wetland Complex),
. Creation of a haul route to Bathurst Street which will create an opening and new edge
within the large forest block, resulting in fragmentation and impacts to interior species
September 15, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/00 8523
. Indirect impacts include noise (which will affect sensitive species that will be trying to use
the large forest block), light (which can lead to increased predation of vulnerable species
such as ground nesters) and dust (which can be an Issue for nearby vegetation and some
sensitive species)
Since 1998, the applicant has indicated that they have attempted to resolve outstanding
objections Most recently, in March and July 2000, the applicant attempted to resolve
environmental issues through further study dealing with the wooded lJortions of the site and
modifications to the proposed aggregate extraction plans The most significant modifications
include
1 Deletion of the proposed haul route to Bathurst Street,
2 Reduction in the area to be licensed from 40 47 ha to 29 8 ha through the deletion of
approximately 10 5 ha of land at the east side of the property and Increase in the setback
from Dufferin Street;
3. Deletion of the proposed extraction below the water table,
City of Vaughan has advised the MNR and the applicant of their objection to the application At
a special meeting of Council, held September 5, 2000, the City concluded that the City's
fundamental objections based on planning policy, land use compatibility and environmental impact
remain unresolved The Region of York has also advised the MNR and the applicant of their
objection to the application The basis for the Region's objection is that the application fails to
comply with the approved policies and the intent of the Regional Official Plan, the Provincial Policy
Statement, and the Oak Ridges Moraine Guidelines A report in this regard will be considered by
Regional Planning Committee on September 20, 2000
RATIONALE
Based on Staff's review o~the revised submissions, the following concerrs remain unresolved with
the final submission and are the basis for objection
1 Loss of habitat C:V\fer, which in the Don River Watershed is limited to 9 4% (woodland
and wetland)
While the revised submission eliminates any consideration of extr~ction within the stream
corridor and the large forest block at the east and north east portion of the site, extraction
is still proposed within the woodlot blocks at the south west corner of the subject property
The supplementary environmental information submitted focuses on the forestry and site
specific ecological implications of the proposal but does not undertake a sufficient
assessment ofthe more comprehensive and cumulative impacts ofthe proposed intrusion
Specifically the report does not adequately address wildlife use of these blocks The ESA
and ANSI designations include the subject stands in addition to other significant resource
features on and off the subject property
8524 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/00 September 15, 2000
The extent of prc.JL~dion and restoration proposed in the rehabilitation plan is significantly
less than the amount of natural cover that is proposed to be removed for extraction
Natural cover within the Don River watershed is limited to 9 4%. Any loss of natural cover
in the Don River watershed is significant. Although the final submission further reduces the
area to be extracted to 23 3 hectares, the loss of natural cover still significantly exceeds the
area to be rehabilitated to natural forest cover Additionally, the proposed mitigation efforts
Involving the enhancement of buffer strip widths along the property's perimeter will have
extremely limited functionality as wildlife corridors and refuge areas, and will not adequately
compensate for the quantity, quality and function of lost habitat.
2 The removal of forest blocks where there is evidence of use by area sensitive and
forest interior species
Although the current application has eliminated any consideration of removal within the
larger forest blocks to the north and east, the removal of the forest blocks at the south west
corner of the site, in conjunction with the disturbance associated with the proposed use
will be substantial enough to have detrimental impacts to the area sensitive and forest
interior species within the larger area.
3 Displacement ot several regionally rare plant species
The final submission continues to propose the relocation of a number of rare plant species
Authority policy requires the protection of habitats of rare species and does not include
provisions for alternative "protection" mechanisms such as relocation Additionally, not
withstanding the above noted comment on the concept of rare species relocation, of the
6 species proposed for relocation, only one, Solidago arguta (sharp leaved goldenrod) is
considered suitable for transplantation Two others (carex backii and C Digitalis) are
considered unlikely for successful transplantation and the remaining three (Botrychium
dlssectum, lycopodium obscurum, and Polypodium viginianum) are considered poor
candidates for successful transplantation due to their very specific soil associations
4 Reduction in the southern linkage between the ESA on the east side of Dufferin Street
with the ESA on the west side of Dufferin Street
The linkage functions on and off site have not been adequately assessed by the applicant.
The final application proposes the protection of a 30 metre corridor along the south
property boundary Staff feel there has been insufficient assessment to concur with the
applicant's conclusion that "the southern boundary linkage has been significantly
compromised by nast activities" and that it is "of greater benefit! J restore and enhance a
north/south linkage adjacent to Dufferin Street by way of an incredsed setback width and
replanting progr ~1Y1"
Based on the impacts to the form, features and functions of the McGill ESA which would result as
part of this proposal, staff are recommending that the Executive Committee object to this
application pursuant to the Aggregate Resources Act.
September 15, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/00 8525
CONCLUSION
Pursuant to the requirements of the Aggregate Resources Act, the last day on which objections
could be filed with the applicant and Ministry of Natural Resources was September 8, 2000
Authority staff has concluded that the impacts which would result to the form, features and
functions of the McGill Environmentally Significant Area as part of this Licence Application are
unacceptable, and not in keeping with the overall program and policy interests of the Authority as
identified in the Valley & Stream Corridor Management Program (1994) As such, staff has advised
the applicant and the MNP of the TRCA's continued objection to this a~r'lication

of both lots to meet the municipal sanitary and water servicing coverage requirements and finds
that the control of flooding will not be affected by these works, existing grades in the rear yards
will be maintained In addition, the proposed dwellings will be floodproofed to above the elevation
of the 350 year storm, which is the minimum level for flood proofing as stipulated in the Unionville
SPA document.
Pollution
Silt fencing will be placed along the boundary of the rear yard fence to impede the overland
migration of constructlorl-generated sediments

Town of Markham Councillor G R (Randy) Barber and the German Mills
Ratepayers Association to investigate the potential acquisition and a
funding partnership for the Jessamyn Holdings Limited property located at
80 German Mills Road in the Town of Markham.
Moved by Donna Patterson
Seconded by Lorna Bissell
THAT staff be directed to commence preliminary negotiations and explore possible
partnerships for funding for the potential acquisition of the Jessamyn Holdings Limited
property located at 80 German Mills Road in the Town of Markham,

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The subject property was acquired by Jessamyn Holdings Limited on October 3, 1979
The German Mills Ratepayers Association have indicated that the community believed until
recently that the subject property was part of Settlers Park owned by the Town The property has
been used as parkland by the community for nearly thirty years
In 1986 the Town of Markham developed a Master Park Plan to guide the potential future creation
of Settlers Park The subject property was included within the park boundary While the formal
development of Settlers Park has not yet occurred, certain small Initiatives have taken place In
1994, the Thornhill Boy Scouts officially adopted the park and in 1998 planted saplings adjacent
to and on the north end of the subject property In 1997, the Authority in partnership with the
Town, constructed a pathway across the subject property to provide better access for the
residents
In 1999, the Town of Markham received a re-zoning amendment application and subdivision

RATIONALE
Map Realty appeal relates to the limit of the Rouge Duffins Wildlife Corridor and limits Qf forest

of private land holdings including a portion of the Map Rea,lty Property within Pickering The
corridor runs east-west from the Rouge River to the Duffins Creek. Policies in the Official Plan
recognize the Wildlife Corridor as Open Space and require that development be setback a
minimum of 10 metres from the boundary
The wildlife corridor functions as a significant vegetated connection providing for species migration
between the Rouge and Duffins Creek valley systems The corridor is a natural linkage' which
provides nearly uninter. ..it-Jted passage for various species As this east Yvest connection is located
near the mid point of ~ number of watercourses its location strengthens the open space
connection to the north al,d south through the watersheds of the Rouge River, Pettico~t Creek and
the Dutfins Creek, from tHe headwater ,tributaries, to Lake Ontario This retains the diversity of
habitat and can lead to gre?ter species survival The corridor is also connected to the Rouge Park

specifically the forest cover'on the subj~ct property TRCA technical staff will appear as witnesses
on behalf of the City of Pickering giving expertise on environmental significance of the wildlife

Park and representatives from the Save the Rouge Valley System will appear as witnesses for the
parties at the Ontario Municfpal Board
The applicant Map Realty has submitted applications for site plan approval and zoning by law
amendment to the City of Pickering to erect a Senior's Residential Community on the subject
lands. These application although not part of the appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board would
result in a significant encroachment, into the Rouge Duffins Wildlife Corridor Map Realty has not
including the site specific applications(rezoning and condominium approval) to allow for this
development to the Onta.rio Municipal Board rather has continued with 1e appeal of the limit of
the Rouge Duffins WildlifE;! Corridor only, as this corridor relates to the Pickering Official Plan

RES.#C22/00
RES #B141/00- IMPACT OF NEW APPORTIONMENT SYSTEM
Possible Changes to CA Regulation The Province has required that a
new funding apportionment formula be developed based on Current
Value Assessment (CVA) A proposed formula has been developed by
Conservation Ontario In consultation with the Association of
MUnicipalities of Ontario, staff of the Province of Ontario and two
representatives from the Association of Clerks and Treasurers
Moved by John Adams
Seconded by Joan King
THAT the report dated September 8th, 2000, on possible changes to CA regulation and
Impact of New Apportionment System, be received.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The apportionment of conservation authority levies among participating municipalities is
governed by a regulation under Section 27 of the Conservation Authorities Act The previous
regulation required the use of Discounted Equalized Assessment (DEA) to determine how the
benefit (costs) of conservation authority operations are apportioned among the participating
muniCipalities which fall within CA watersheds, and whose programs are deemed generally
benefiting
All Authorities across the province Including the TRCA have used DEA as a basIs for
distributing the levy among our participating municipalities for generally benefiting programs
TRCA has also used a variation on DEA which Involved visitor origin information for allocating
the levy for our recreation programs These funding formulas were agreed to many years ago
by TRCA s member municipalities
With the Introduction of Current Value Assessment, the previous method (DEA) IS obsolete
The Province of Ontario must prepare a new regulation to implement its requirement to use
CVA as the basIs for any new apportionment formula and it has asked Conservation Ontario to
make a proposal as a basIs for writing the new regulation Until the new regulation is In place,
the Province as frozen the apportionment values based on DEA for several years now until a
new formula can be developed
Conservation Ontario has prepared a draft formula based on CVA in conjunction with
representatives of the Association of Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario and AMO The draft
proposal may also meet the request by the City of Toronto to change our current
apportionment formula to one based on CV A ThiS needs to be discussed with the City during
the 2001 budget process
.
RA TIONALE
The Conservation Ontario Levy Distribution Task Force proposed a number of
recommendations which are being Implemented One of the changes Involves a new
regulation which will create a new formula for distribution of the levy ThiS will not effect
projects which are speCifiC to a participating muniCipality e g capital projects In the City or
Regions
162
One of the Issues being reviewed IS the degree to which Individual authorities can employ a
formula other than the recommended one for projects which are deemed to be of a nature that
IS not generally benefiting to all participating municipalities TRCA, with the agreement of its
participating muniCipalities, has used its own funding formula for recreation/heritage programs
and DEA for those administrative programs that affect all municipalities the same
Having the ability to manage the portion of the levy which funds non-administrative costs on a
basIs other than CV A would enable the TRCA to respond effectively to the Individual budget
needs of the TRCA s major partiCipating mUnicipalities, the Regions of Peel, York and Durham
and the City of Toronto If a single CVA formula is applied to all operating levy, the decision of
the AuthOrity to Increase or decrease the levy Will be applied universally A participating
municipality which disagrees With the levy will have only one recourse, appealing to the Ontario
Mining and Lands Commissioner
Another Issue being discussed IS the method used to determine the assessment within the
conservation authOrity watersheds As Members are aware, authority boundaries do not follow
political boundaries Within the watershed boundaries of conservation authorities, the
proportion of assessment accorded to each authOrity is based on the proportion of the CA
area of JUrisdiction Within each area muniCipality For example, if 30% of the watershed is
Within a municipality, then 30% of the assessment of that area municipality is apportioned to
that CA
ThiS has been a reasonable method for determining the proportion of assessment attributed to
each authority but it IS not an accurate measure of the actual assessment in each area of
JUriSdiction The technology eXists to calculate the actual assessment within each watershed
ThiS Involves Identifying for each assessment roll number the watershed/CA jurisdiction Within
which the property lies The effect of thiS change IS unknown and unlikely to be acted upon in
time for the 2001 budget process
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
ThiS proposal is stili being discussed Conservation Ontario has hired Jonathan Wigley of
Baker MackenZie, SoliCitors, to draft the proposed regulation Conservation Ontario will submit
the proposed regulation to the Province for consideration A recent communication from the
Provincial staff indicates that there is Interest In haVing the changes in place for the year 2001
budget However, thiS will not be deCided until December
Staff Will continue to work With Conservation Ontario on the proposed regulation Staff will be
consulting With the AuthOrity s funding partners prior to Implementation of any changes

This has not been achieved without Impact on operations There have been lay offs In some
areas Maintenance has been deferred Positions are being "gapped" which creates
Increased work load for other staff

associated with the LIVing Machine Project IS about $700,000 This is being addressed as part
of the corporate fund raising program in future years

SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION
RES.#B144/00 - DURHAM REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY PROGRAMS AND
OPTIONS FOR FUNDING
The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority has by Resolution,
asked the Region of Durham t,o consider various options for funding,
other than through property taxes, water related programs delivered by
the Authority The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority has
circulated this Resolution and' asked that the other Authorities within the
Region provide their support to this initiative by endorsing their
recommendations
Moved by John Adams
Seconded by Michael Di Siase
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Regional Municipality of Durham
be advised that the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority endorses the Resolution
of the Board of Directors of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority which
recommends that the Region of Durham investigate the option of using sewer and water
revenues and at the appropriate time t~e potential use of develoP"1ent services charges,
for the purpose of financing eligible Conservatio~ Authority programs and projects;
AND FURTHER THAT the Region of Durham, the Lak~ Simcoe Region, the Kawartha
Region, the Ganaraska Region and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authorities be
so advised.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In April of this year the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) formed an Ad
Hoc Committee consisting of four Region of Durham Councillors and who are also Members of
CLOCA. The mandate of this committee was to report on the feasibility of financing portions of
Conservation Authorities programs from the Region of Durham's water and sewer charges
This Ad Hoc Committee reported to CLOCA's Board of Directors on September 7, 2000 and
the following Resolution was adopted
THAT Staff Report #4132-00 be adopted,
..
THAT the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority request the Region of Durham to
review water and sewer 9harges initially, and development services charges in due
course, as mechanisms for financing appropriate, Conservation Authorities programs;
and,
THA T this review be initiated as part of the Region of Durham consideration of
Conservation Authorities annual budget submissions for 2001 and 5 year operating and
capital forecasts for the period 2001-2005
605,
The Chief Administrative Officer of CLOCA has circulated this Resolution and requested that
the other four Conservation Authorities within the Region of Durham endorse their position and
to advise the Region of this support.
The use of sewer and water revenues to support Regional funding of related Conservation
Authority programs is not new to this Authority For at least two years, based on a
comprehensive report prepared by Credit Valley Conservation and the Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA) which outlined the economic and environmental arguments as
to the appropriateness of using sewer and water revenues to support Authority programs, the
Region of Peel has provided considerable capital and operating support to both Authorities
from their sewer and water reserve fund The City of Toronto similarly has supported various
TRCA capital programs and projects from their water reserve fund There are also many other
examples across the province where Conservation Authority work is supported from revenues
the municipality has raised through their sewer and water revenues There are also many
international examples as well
In the report prepared for the Region of Peel, the argument for supporting conservation
authority work from water revenues was summarized as follows
Conservation Authorities provide watershed management programs in the areas of
watershed management and monitoring, environmental advisory services, and
watershed stewardship These programs contribute to the protection of the quality and
sustainability of public water supplies. The municipal water bill may represent a means
of ensuring adequate funding to support these programs, while also alleviating pressure
on the municipal tax base and offering a tool to promote the user's awareness of the
importance of protecting the water resource
Because two of our Member Municipalities are already supporting our work through revenues
generated through the water bills, it would be appropriate for this Authority to support the
CLOCA Resolution It is however, in the final context, up to the municipality to determine how
it will raise its funds in support of Authority work but to not at least consider in a serious way,
the water and sewer revenues option would be a missed opportunity to further the protection
and management of our water resources and could also represent an opportunity to reduce
the pressures on the property tax bill
The TRCA should urge therefore the Region of Durham to at least consider the options put
forward by CLOCA in their review of the 2001 budget requests of the Conservation Authorities
or to at least commit to looking into this option during 2001 for possible implementation in
2002

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Members of the Executive Committee at meeting #1/00 held on February 11, 2000
adopted resolution #B10/00
THA T the potential disposal of a parcel of land, together with certain improvements at 29
Kingsbury Crescent, being Part of Lot 15, Registered Plan 203, City of Toronto (formerly
City of Scarborough, Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto), be referred to the Authority
staff for review in accordance with established Authority policies,
AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought to the Executive Committee at a future date
recommending further action
The Authority is in receipt of a proposal from T Peter Moyes, the former owner of the subject
property to consider returning the property to his ownership at fair market value,
We have reviewed this potential disposal with the City of Toronto, Economic Development,
Culture and Tourism Department and they have requested that the AD
Dity retain the subject property for conservation and park purposes
The Authority's technical staff has reviewed this potential disposal and are not in favour of the
disposal The subject property was purchased by the TRCA in 1984 due to bluff erosion
concerns Shoreline protection measures were completed in 1987 but no slope stabilization
measures have been undertaken at this site, The adjacent slope is very steep and may not
have reached its stable slope inclination In addition there are gully erosion and groundwater
seepage concerns Given the erosion history, potential for future erosion and concerns with
groundwater seepage and gully erosion along the Kingsbury sector, the TRCA should retain
ownership and avoid any future redevelopment of the site
A plan illustrating this location is attached

. Proposed Site Plan and Partial Ground Floor Plan - North West, Westwood Secondary
School Renovation & Addition, prepared by Robbie Sane Architects Inc., prawing No.
A 1.2 and A2.2, dated March 28, 2000
. Letter of intent with regard to the removal of all excess fill material, prepared by
Robbie Sane Architects Inc., dated September 21, 2000.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information
Proposal
The proposal. is to remove fill to facilitate the construction of a 892 square metre, one stprey
addition and a proposed galvanized steel entry canopy to an existing 17034 square metre
secondary school located within the Regional Storm floodplain of Mimico Creek. The proposal
has been reviewed by Authority staff as part of ~ Site Plan Control application to the City of
Mississauga.
Control of Floodinq
The proposed addition is located within the flood fringe with minimal depths of (less than 25
centimeters) and low velocities The finished floor elevation of the proposed addition is 167 08
metres Canadian ~eodetic Datum (C GO) which is above the Regional Storm elevation of
166 75 (C GO) Therefore, the proposed addition wilr'be dry floodproofed to above the
Regional Storm elevation The proposed canopy over th~ entrance of the existing building will
be elevated above the Region<;ll Storm flood elevation
Pollution
No sedimentation is expected from these works, The proposed addition is surrounded on
three sides by the existing building which itself is surrounded by a paved hard play area. The
proposed' works are located more than 100 metres from the watercourse.
Conservation of Land
The'proposed addition will be constructed within an paved existing courtyard There is no
vegetation removal associated with the addition
Policv G'uidelines
The Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program indicates that existing
development located within the floodplain is restricted to a 50% addition of the floorspace as of
January 1, 1987 as. long as the propo,sed addition is not located within the hydraulic floodway
and can meet technical requirements related to flood proofing While the Provincial Policy
Statement prohibits specific development within the Regional Storm floodplain including
institutional uses such as schools, the proposal will replace four portables locatep within the
floodplain, The result will be that four flood susceptible temporary structures (portables) will be
removed from the site and replaced with a onE? storey addition dry floodproofed to above the
Regional Storm elevation The proposal will result in,a reduction of risk to life and property on

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Since 1968, the TRCA has offered maple syrup demonstrations in varying capacities at its
facilities In 1999, with the growth of the maple syrup program through the seamless Sugar
Bush presentation at Bruce~s Mill Conservation Area and"the Kortright Centre for Conservation,
staff prepared a cost analysis of the maple syrup retail component. Prior to the 2000 season,
staff purchased maple syrup in bulk, bottling and labelling product for Bruce's Mill and
Kortright on site It was concluded in the 1999 assessment of the retail o'perations that savings
would be realized from the purchase of pre-packaged product.
RATIONALE
In September, tender packages were sent to six Ontario Maple Syrup Producers and we
received two quotes on each tender Per unit pricing and the overall tendered costs on both
quotes showed a marked'difference, particularly in our most popular sizes Staff thereby
recommend the tender be awarded to Robinson's Maple Products who are a member in good
standing with the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers' Associatior This company is family owned
and operated, and has successfLjlly bid on our maple syrup tender for the last nine years By
awarding the tender to our long term supplier - Robinson's - we will ensure the same
consistency of "Bruce's Mill" and "Kortright" maple syrup as, has been available ih the past.

BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 written permission from the Authority is required to
(a) construct any building or structure or permit any building or structure to be constructed
in or on a pond or swamp or in any area susceptible to flooding during a Regional
Storm,
677
,,.
(b) place or dump fill or permit fill to be placed or dumped in the areas described in the
schedules whether such fill is already located in or upon~such area, or brought to or on
such area from some other place or places,
(c) straighten, change, divert or interfere in any way with the existing channel of a river,
creek, stream or watercourse,
A permit may be refused if, in the opinion of the authority, the conservation of land, control of
flooding or pollution is affected Before refusing permission, the Authority' must hold a Hearing
to which the applicant is party
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The property subject to this application is located on the west side of Old Brock Road North,
north of Lane Street. The recently constructed shed (Exhibit 1-legal survey) is located entirely
within the Regional Storm Floodplain 'JExhibit 2-TRCA floodplain mapping)' The existing
residential structure is not located within the Regional Storm Floodplain Portions of the
subject property parallel to Old Srock Rot;ld are located outpide the Regional Storm Floodplain
PROPOSAL
The existing shed was constructed within a Regional Storm Floodplain without a City of
Pickering building permit and without a TRCA permit. Through legal proceedings of the
violation it was stated by the court that TRCA needs to offer the applicant all available means to
ascertain a location for the shed which is satisfactory to TRCA. Staff met with the proponent
on several occasions on site to discuss relocation and in Augl;Jst 2000'a meeting was held at
the TRCA office to discuss among other items policy, procedures, and opportunities for the
relocatior:1, of the shed At the very minimum it was agreed that the applicants try to relocate the
shed from the hydraulic floodway, which is the inner portion of the floodplain where the flood
depths and velocities are gener~lIy higher The floodway represents ,the area required for the
safe passage of flood flow and/or that area where flood depths and/or velocities are
considered'to be such that they pose a potential threat to life and/or property damages To
remove the existing shed from the hydraulic floodway would require the relocation
approximately 60 feet (18m) from the creek A site inspection was completed by TRCA staff
and the proponent to stake the approximate 60-foot (18m) boundary and to determine if the
shed cO,uld be relocated outsid-e the hydraulic floodway Due to the topography of the site at
the location in the valley, the shed could possibly be relocated appr9ximately 45 feet (14m)
from the creek at the south corner and' approximately 60 feet (18m) from the north corner
which would still be located within the hydraulic floodway According t9 TRCA staff at present
the structure is located approximately 22 feet (6 5m) from the watercourse. It is.the opinion of
TRCA staff that there are'suitable options forthe location, of the shed outside the Regional
Storm Floodplain, However, limiting factors were presented by the applicant that eliminated
any other possibilities
POLICY AND RATIONALE
The existing shed does not comply with Section 4 1 1-New Urban Development- of the
Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) which states
678
"The main thrust of the Authority's policies and procedures for undeveloped valley and stream
corridors is to prevent new development that would introduce risk to life and property
associated with flooding, erosion and slope stability and/or is not compatible with the protection
and rehabilitation of these natural resources in their natural state."
The intent of this policy is implemented both in terms of new development and where property
improvement and ancillary structures are being considered In the instance of new
development, it is not permitted within the valley and stream corridors Where existing
development has been approved and property improvements or ancillary structures are
considered VSCMP states
"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 corridors, landforms, features and functions
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 and 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 or 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 be assumed by the owner
NOTE Notwithstanding the above, ancillary structures will be restricted from locating within the
hydraulic floodway or will be subject to more rigorous design requirements "
It is the opinion of TRCA staff that the location of this large shed within the Regional Floodplain
will introduce substantial risk to property damage, The shed which is located within the
floodplain will be structurally damaged during a major flood event and may cause obstructions
to flows downstream and subsequent flooding hazards if the shed were to break up or be
swept downstream, The water levels defined at the location of the newly constructed shed by
the hydraulic modeling through Claremont are approximately 856 5 feet (261 m) under the
regulatory flood and approximately 855 feet (260 6m) under the 1 OO-year flood A level of
approximately 853 5 feet (260m) is the ground elevation at the shed location which is taken
from the contour mapping The depths of flooding are approximately 3 feet (1 m) under the
regulatory flow and approximately 1 5 feet ( 5m) under the 1 OO-year flow The flow velocity in
the area of the shed ranges from approximately 6 ft/sec (2m/see) under regulatory flows to
approximately 4 ft/sec (1 2m/sec) under the 100 year flows The more frequent flows included
in the TRCA flood study such as the 5 year also would result in some flooding on site. The 5
year level through the site would have approximate depths of 1 2 feet (0 3m) Even though the
existing shed has been set on footings above grade, the 28 feet (85m) of the long axis of the
structure will be subject to the forces of water during a major storm event and subsequent
structural damage More rigorous design standards are not feasible on this ancillary structure
679
"
as this would require the expertise of a Structural Engineer to ensure that the footings and
structure itself are designed to withstand the velocity of the flows The best solution is to
remove the shed from the hydraulic floodway which has not been proposed by applicant.
CONCLUSION
The existing shed is entirely located within the Regional Storm Floodplain Under flood
conditions the shed will be subject to structural damage and .may cause obstructions to flows
and sl,lbsequent flooding hazards downstream if the shed were to break up or be swept
downstream. Staff concludes that the existing shed do~s not reflect the intent of the Authority'
s Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program and will affect the control of flooding
Therefore staff recommends that the ~pplication be refused

indicat~d to the Auth9rity their desire to provide long term protection for the erwironmental
featl,Jres but at the same time retain ownership It was felt that a conservation easement would
be the best tool to provide long term protection to the resource while permitting the owners to
enjoy their property The negotiated conservation ease,ment will r~strict the owner of the
property from removing trees, placing fill, constructing improvements and will permit the
Authority to carry out compliance. monitoring and remove and dispose of unapproved
development and will also allow the Authority to carry out forest management activities subject
to notifying the owners
Negotiations have been conducted, with Ian Attridge, Q C , Barrister and Solicitor,
representat,ives of the .owner

concurrence with the,purchase of>the property

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Members of the Authority's Executive Committee at meeting #12/99 held on, January 14,
2000 adopted resolution #B227/99
THA T the potential disposal of a 0 DB-hectare (0 19-acre) parcel of land, located on .the sOl.!th
side of Old King Road being Part of Lot 5, Plan ALB-2, Town of Ca/edon, 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 Mark and Sharon Crowe, the owners of the
adjacent lot and Harbour View Investments Limited, to consider conveying to Mark and Sharon
Crowe two parcels of Authority-owned land to serve as a buffer between their residence and a
parkette owned by the Authority and managed by the Town of Caledon In exchange Harbour
View Investments Limited was proposing to convey to the Authority a parcel of land of the
same size being Block 459 on Draft Plan of Subdivision 21T-s'1025C
Block 459 is above the defined top of bank of the Humber River valley From an ecological
perspective, this parcel does not possess high habitat value in terms ofits intrinsic and linkage
features From a maintenance perspective, this parcel does not have frontage on a traveled
road making access to the property for maintenance purpos~s difficult. Therefore, staff is
recommending that the Authority not proceed with the land exchange and. that the Authority
take the purchase price in cash to be used to purchase other high priority greenspace lands
The subject property is outside the region-flood plain, however within 10 metres of the flood
plain, Since staff feel ther.e should be no future development in this area, the only potential
purchaser would be the adjacent owner with a restrictive covenant on title prohibitng the
development of the property
The offer at hand is in accordance with the appraised value.
690
The subject property is a small portion of a property acquired from Harbour View Investments
Limited on October 30, 1991, under the Humber River Flood Plain and Conservation
Component of the Land Acquisition Project.
A map illustrating the location of the subject property is appended
FINANCIAL DETAILS
It is proposed that the proceeds from this sale be used in the funding of the purchase of
priority properties within the Authority's Acquisition Project.

RES.#B169/00 - TERMINATION OF FORESTRY AGREEMENT
Ministry of Natural Resources, CFN 23213 Termination of forestry
agreement between the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Authority
Moved by Jim McMaster
Seconded by Donna Patterson
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS The Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority is in receipt of a request from Ministry of Natural Resources to
terminate the existing forestry agreement for properties in the Town of Caledon and the
Townships of Mono, Adjala- Tosorontio and Uxbridge,
THAT the Authority enter into an agreement with the Ministry of Natural Resources
terminating the existing forestry agreement on the basis that all outstanding debts
relating to the agreement are canceled,
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
The original forestry agreement was entered into on April 11, 1951 by the Humber Valley
Conservation Authority and the Department of Lands and Forests (now the Ministry of Natural
Resources) Generally the agreement provided that MNR can make a grant for the purchase of
the lands by the Authority and the MNR will undertake the reforestation and management of the
properties The agreement ends in 2000 with the Authority having the right to extend the
agreement for 20 to 50 years While the agreement has been amended from time to time over
the years, the main terms have remained the same with the exception of MNR's grant rate for
the purchase costs being increased from 50% to 75% in 1960 The Authority has always been
responsible for the payment of realty taxes on the properties
The costs incurred by MNR over the years for reforestation and management are accumulated
as a debt against the agreement. These expenditures are off set by any revenues generated
bY the sale of timber from the properties To date there is approximately $260,000 in debt
outstanding
Since 1995 MNR has not carried out any management of the properties and the Authority has
had to take over this role Staff have had ongoing discussions with MNR staff relating to
revising the agreement. However MNR has continued to insist that the Authority repay the
outstanding debt. This year MNR advised that they wish to terminate the forestry agreement
by the end of 2000 They have agreed to forego the repayment of the debt. The only condition
MNR is proposing is that.any properties where a grant has been made by MNR for the
purchase be used for purposes that are consistent with forestry purposes
RATIONALE
While the Authority has the right to extend the agreement, at the end of the extension the
Authority would still be required to repay the debt. With the termination of the agreement at
this time the debt will be canceled
693
,
The Authority has been managing these properties for the past several years and has always
paid the realty taxes, so the termination of the agreement will not impact the Authority's
operational budget.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information
Proposal
The proposal consists of placing fill material to repair valley wall erosion which has exposed a
section of an existing 30 " crude oil pipeline. The proposed works include redirecting localized
drainage away from the erosion scar on the west valley wall back to its original course down an
existing gravel service road, backfilling over the exposed cFude oil pipe, and filling in the
remainder of the eroded area down the valley wall The eastern slope erosion has not
progressed as much as the west side, however, this area will be filled in to prevent further
erosion, which could lead to exposure of the pipe. For additional erosion protection from future
overland runoff, 3 0' high earthen berms will be installed at 50' intervals down each valley slope
Repairs to the western slope face have already commenced, pursuant to the Emergency Works
provision of the Servicing and Infrastructure policies and development criteria, Both erosion
sites are located within the Fill Regulated Area of the West Dufflns Creek, but neither extend
into the Regional Storm flood plain
Control of Flooding
No fill material will be placed within the Regional Storm flood plain of the West Duffins Creek,
therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works
Pollution
Silt fencing will be placed downslope from each erosion site to impede the overland migration
of construction-generated sediments
Conservation of Land
The erosion scars will be filled with glacial till material similar to the native soils The repaired
areas will be compacted to at least 95% of the Standard Proctor Maximum Dry Density No
significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works The Enbridge Pipelines
easement is presently void of any woody vegetation, deep rooting vegetation is discouraged
due to future maintenance problems arising from excessive root systems around the crude oil
pipe However, a native wildflower and grasses mix will be applied over the repaired areas of
valley slope, which will promote terrestrial habitat without the use of deeply-rooted plant
material Staff have reviewed the proposal and are satisfied with the method of erosion control
and site rehabilitation with native herbaceous plant species.
Policy Guidelines
The proposal complies with Section 43- Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley
and Stream Corridor Management Program

RES.#B174/00 - HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYING EQUIPMEN:r PURCHASE
Purchase of an integrated hydrographic survey system
Moved by Michael Di Biase
Seconded by Jim McMaster
THAT staff be authorized to proceed with the purchase of an integrated hydrographic
surveying system, from Knudsen Engineering Limited, at a cost notto exceed $35,000
(excluding applicable taxes)
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Since 1981, the TRCA survey unit has been utilizing a hydrographic surveying system
consisting of microwave distance measuring units combined with a total station surveying
instrument. The lakebed depths are measured by a chart echo sounder This process
requires a field crew of four persons for the collection of data,
The existing method of data acquisition, produces a considerable amount of delay while land
based equipment is moved to the next sounding station. As we require favorable weather and
lake conditions, it is important that information is collected as quickly and efficiently as
possible. The' equipment purchase being proposed woul.d allow for the continuous collection
of field data without the reliance of shore based positioning equipment and staff
Post processing of the information has been very time consuming as the information must be
manually scaled from the graph prior to plotting
The- system which staff are requesting to purchase, collects all positioning information digitally
by satellite (GPS), as well 'its digital echo sounding information with ~ field crew of only two
technicians on board the launch Down loading of field data to the computer'AutoCAD
software is also accomplished quickly
RATIONALE
As there ,are very limited suppliers of hydrographic ,surveying equipment world wide, staff
requested proposals and on-water equipment demonstrations from two Ontario based
companies.

Attention: Mr. Dick O'~rien, Chair-Executive Committee ,
Toronto and Region Conservatlon Authority ,

Downsview, Ontario
RE: Delegations oLlUly 7. 20QO re~arding 35 Beechwood.
Drive. Toronto (East Yor~
Dear Mr. Chairman and Members of the. Executive Board:
.
.
My<name is Jim Zotalis and I reside at 3~ Beechwood Drive'~ On Juiy
7,2000 my neighbours Mr. Barkas and Ms. McIntyre attended a
meeting of the Executive Committee and made.a del~gation regarding
the above-referenced site and it is for this reason that. I am wrltlng
this l~tter today to the Executive. Com~ittee of the TReA.
On Friday, October l~, 2000 we were notified for the first time that
the Authority ~taff had received instructions to make a site visit to
our property in order to respond to the 'statements' made by-my
nelghbours in their letters to th~ Executive Commltt~e. It is on 1
Monday, October 16, 2000 that I had an opportunity to s~ the
letter.s for the first time-more than 3 n;1onths after their submission.
First, let me begin by stating that the letters in question contain false
and erroneous information, which are without any merit and
f01:1ndation and are not supported by any credible evidence'
.
whatsoever. In fact, the letters are replete with falsehoods and
fabrications, Furthermore, they are 1lQ.t statements made 'under
oath' as solemn declaratlop:s.
133
"
.
/2 of 4.
Why is the Executive Committee entertaining such letters, when in
fact, they have not been sworn statements which are subject to strict
rules of evidence? This Executive Committee knows, that the file on
this site (both TRCA permit file and the Building Permit file) has
been closed for a considerable time now. Why is it acceptable for an
individual property owner to come before this panel and make a
deputation without evidence, and which is not under oath, to the
expense of another individual who must expend financial costs and
tLme In order to defend his position against unfounded allegations.
This is in addition to the emotional upset and pain such a situation
causes the property owner forced to come before this committee to
answer such letters. As well, the letter submitted by Mr. Barkas is
not signed in addition to it not being a sworn statement. My question
to the Executive Committee is, "Under what authority does the
Executive proceed to hear and receive these letters when 1n fact the
TRCA's jurisdiction does not extend to the matters being raised in
these two letters?"
First, as far as the small block wall (planter) Is concerned (which is
situ~ted between the 3S and 37 Beechwood Drive properties) Mr.
Barkas fully knows or ought to know that:
1. The small block wallis not in fact a retaining wall but a form of
garden planter. There was no obligation at any time on the part of
the owner of 35 Beechwood Drive to have such a wall there but was
done to accomodate the neighbouring owner (Mr. Barkas) who
insisted on such a visual separation between his property and the
Zotalls property.
2. The wall has received clearance as being 'safe and acceptable' by
the appropriate department of the City of~oronto.
734
/3 of 4.

3. The wall in question is not under jurisdiction of the TRCA as
confirmed by the Manager of Development Services of the TRCA., and
the TRCA's own engineer 1n front of the writer and his father at the
site meeting of Monday, October 16,2000 and also in front of Mr.
Barkas.
As to Mr. Barkas' second issue, that of water run-off, any discussion
of water run-off Is one that pertains to that portion of the ~treet
which belongs to the City of Toronto and is e~tirely within the
municipal road allowance. Therefore, I respectfully submit that the
TRCA has no JuriscUc;tion,with respect t9 this issue either.
,Further to this second issue, I refer to Mr. Barkas' Foundation Plan
which he submitted to the Committee of Adjustment (dated January
19, 1999) and which was an exhibit Item at the Ontario 'Municipal
Board hearing for his application to construct a garage. I remind the
members of the Executive that this drawing was submitted as
eVidentiary material by Mr. Barkas at an OMB hearing. You will note
that the drawing indicates very clearly a 411 weeping tile wrapped fn
filter fabric that is between the Barkas' south wall and the property
line. This weeping tile is on Mr. Barkas' property and is a weeping'
tile belonging to Mr. Barkas which in fact collects perimeter water
around his house and property and discharges this to a point on the
municipal road allowance in front of his house which he has raised as
a concern. As you can see from Mr. Barkas' own drawing and exhibit
item, the drain whIch ends at the foot of his property Is his and his
alone. Furthermore, Mr. Barkas does not pump a~y water back to the
Hopedale street (as does the owner of 35 Beechwood Drive). This fact
is clearly evident from photographs, the topography of the site as -
well as site inspections and Is well known not only by staff of the
City of Toronto and Conservation Authority, but also by the local
councillors of the area.
735
/4 of 4.
Therefore, any problems Mr. Barkas mayor may not be having with
water run-off Is an issue that he Is the author of himself, not his
neighbour.
As for my other neighbours' comments in her letter, they also are
without any merit and substance whatsoever. They represent a
series of false statements made without any scientific evidence and
proof and are nQ1 made under oath or solemn declaration. She makes
numerous unfounded allegations in her letter without any
corroboration or evidence whatsoever and attempts to pass them off
as facts. It is obvious that both my neighbours met and planned their
letters collaboratlvely as they even use the same terminology
throughout both letters (ie. the use of the term 'logjam') It is no
wonder that my neighbours are resorting to such tactics as an
application to modify the existing garage (35 Beechwood Drive) Is
scheduled soon to be before the Committee of Adjustment. The OMB
decision of the previous Zotalis (carport) application gave the ZotaUs'
the right to bring forward a new design without prejudice to the
Committee of Adjustment.
I would remind the Executive Committee of the TRCA and staff that
the issue of the TRCA Permit file and Building Permit file have been
closed and any attempts to revisit matters already addressed
represents a serious infrindgement on the rights of the Zotalis famlly.
I hereby request a copy of any other materials filed by my
nelgh1x>ufs with respect to this matter as well as a copy of Mr. Tanos'
report for our review. I welcome any additional information or
questions the Executive Committee has in regards to my comments
herein or regarding this matter.

Dear SirlMadam.
RE: 35 Beechwood Drive, Toronto
Kindly be advised that we have been retained by Peter Zotalls, the owner of 3S
Beechwood Drive, to represent him with respect to the latest involvement by the Toronto
and Region Conser/ation Authority in relation to 35 Beechwood Drive.
Our client was first advised on October 13, 2000 that Authority staffwete instructed to
make a site visit to 3S Beeyhwood Drive in order to address certain statements made both
in writing and inpersoo durlnga meeting of the Exeoutive Committee 00 July 7,2000.
We have reviewed with our client the undated and unsigned statement ofM! Barkas
along with the June 22, 2000 letter from Ms. MoIntyre and it is our respectful position
that these documents contain numerous falsehoods and libelous statements written solely
to cause further harm and injUI)' to our client.
You should be aware of the fact that over the last decade. Mr. Barkas and Ms. McIntyre
have taken it upon themselves to hann Mr Zotalis and his family in eveI)' possible: way
Examples include civil litigation, objections before the Committee of Adjustments,
Appeals to the Ont'ario Municipal Board and numerous complaints to the Toronto and
Region Conversation Authority Their intentions are obvious to anyone who simply
takes the time to sit down and review the history
Our client intends to hold the authors of these malicious statements fully responsible for
their actions along with any other party that may ohoose to act on such falsehoods
without fair and proper consideration and due process.
It is most disturbing that the Executive Committee of the Authority would accept the
unsworn statements of Mr. Barkas and Ms. McIntyre. This is especially so as our client
was not given notice of the July 7, 2000 delegation or an opportunity to put forth a
written or verbal statement in reply

The Executive Committee of the Authority is fully aware or ought to be fully aware that
both the Authority's penmt files and the buildIng permit files are closed and have been so
for a considerable period of time.
,
We understand that the Authority recently retained Terraprobe to review the matters
raised by Mr. Bar!cas and Ms. McIntyre. It certainly goes without saying that these
engineers ought not to comment on matters that have'already been considered, decided
upon and closed.
With respect to the small block wall between OU! client's property and the property that
belongs to Mr. Barkas, we have in our possession a letter issued by the City of Toronto
Urban Development Division givmg our client clearance on the wall. As well, this small
block wall is not a retaining wall as defined under the buildmg code and it does not fall '
within the Authonty's jurisdiction. In view of the above, it is respectf'll11y submitted that
Terraprobe ought not to be making comments with respeot to the small block wall. In
fact, the manager of the Authority's Development Services Department has assured our
client that the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has no jurisdiction with
respect to the small block wall and that they will not be making any'comment$ with
respect to it.
We believe that the actions ofMr Barkas and Ms. MoIntyre represent a fundamental
breach of our client's right to privacy, quiet enjoyment of his property and his right to
due process. The violation of our client's rights is taken very seriously and we will
vJgor.ously defend our client from any malicious interference and undue emotional upset
and injury. Of course. this includes the Toronto and ~gion Conservation Autncintymd----'----
its agents.
In the meantime, we would expect that our client would at a minimum be kept fuliy
apprised of any and all developments in ~is JIlatter from this point on.
I trust you will find the above to be in order
Yours very truly,

TO' Chair and Members of the Executive Committee, TRCA
Meeting December 1, 2000
From. Anthony Barkas
37 Beechwood Drive, Toronto ON M4K 3H7
Dear Sir and Members of the Executive Committee
Re. Site Investigation, 35 Beechwood Drive, Toronto (East York) Ontario
Below I submit my comments regarding the repolt submitted to the Executive Committee by Mr Bdan
Denny on the referenced subject, for your consideration prior to making your decision on the
recommendation included in the report.
First of all I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to all members of the Executive
Committee for accepting our proposal in the July 7, 2000 meeting and initiating this investigation.
I would also like to express my gratitude and appreciation the staff of TRCA.
- for allowing us to participate in the review to offer our input; and
- for accepting our request to invite, to one of the meetings, two structural engineers who were
involved in the referenced site in various capacities.
BACKGROUND
Following is a summ31')' of my concerns I submitted to the Executive Committee on July 7, 2000.
- The poor drainage of the underground water of 35 Beechwood Drive which results in
accumulation of large zones of ice in front of my property and deters accessability to my property
during the cold winter periods. Also the adverse effects of hydrostatic pressure during the same
periods when water no longer discharges on the street due to freeze ups.
Two geoteclmical reports produced by two different geotechnical engineers agreed that there is a
drainage problem with that site. They included recommendations (not implemented as yet) to
eliminate the problem so that the adjoining structures will not be detrimentally affected.
- An unsafe retaining wall constructed between 35 and 37 Beechwood Drive at the property line
without the approval of the City and ofTRCA. This wall modified the surface drainage at that
location, brmging water into my property Its unsafe construction and its present condition restdct
the use of my property
The Executive Committee directed " that staff conduct an in-deptJl fel1iew of the remediation work
required to stabilize the property at 35 Beechwood Drive., and report back to the Committee on how
the work will be completed. "
COMMENTS
I commend the TRCA staff for their work and preparation of this report and for their patience also The
opportunity was glvcn to me to present my concerns in detail WIth sUPPOlting documentation and other
resources. I noted however that:
740
- i~ is a thin sununary. of what was presented/discussed) rather than an in-d~pth review
- it reflects an absence of important points of evaluation and analysis offindings (discussions and
documentation, input), presented/submitted to TRCA in support of the "captioned" statem~nts
included in it. This information is of paramount importance for the members to make a objective
'- decision on the reconunendations,
- it appears that at l~ast one of my concerns is ~represented in the-report which eliminates the
t
objectivity and reality on that particular issue.
Following are some examples in support of the above noted statements. I~ is not my' intention to detract
from the efforts of TRCA staff and the quality of their report. Rather it is to provide the Co~ttee
members with subs~tiagon of my concerns.
Poor Drai~age
A Third bullet of the "Issues", page 45 states'
Surface-drainage is concentrated at the nortl,ent corner of.35 Be~chwood Drive which
collects on the driveway and roacfway infremt of J7 Beechwood Drive, The aqjacent
residents are concerned that this impaci;s public safety, specifically the ice buildup on
the street 'and. driveway during the winter months
In my numerous submissions to TRCA in the last three years on the matter of poor drainag~, in my
submission to the Executive Committee, in my discussions to TRCA staff during this review and'in my
documentation (including photographs) I submitted to the Review Leader it was abundantly clear that
TInS WAS NOT SURFACE WATER. It was made clear that my COncern of water discharging at this
corner is undergrouIld water ofmterruptecrundCrground streams thattlU'ougha-pm;rly-c-6ns1r\IC'ted- ----
drainage system it is now discharging on to the street and on to my driveway
It is my opinion that this is a reflection of misrepresentation oft11e facts.
The input to this investigation included the following:
- a copy of a report from Haddad Geotechnical Inc. (retained by the owner of 35 Beechwood Drive)
identifying the problem of the sub-surface water and including some'reconunendations for its
control. It further states that "The above measures, when satisfactorily completed as-descl'ibed
above, will not detrimentally affect the r:etaining walLstructures on the subject site or
structures on adjacent properties"
- a copy ofa report fi:om V A. Wood Associates Limited, Consulting Geotechnical Engineers,
(retained by this writer) identifying the problem of the sub-surface water and stating th~ following:
"It is noted that the purpose ofthe weeping tile Is to collect minor water seepage from the
backfill around the garage. If there is sufficient water In the' system to cause water to run, onto
the road, then this would Indicate a significant drainage problem with the construction on #35.
The quantity of water collecting around the basement of this house is such that It'should t?e
collected in a sump and then pumped to the municipal storm drainage system on the east side
of the house i.e. away from :Beechwood Drive and the Don Valley"
^
- A number of photographs indicating that it is a sub-mace water and also its significant volume.
- Mr Joseph Lee, the structural engineer retained by the owner of 35 Beechwood Drive and who
designed the retaining walls for this site and supervised tpeir construction, WItnessed the volumes
of underground -water fl9wing from the south side and the slope. In the meeting of November 6,
741
2000 with TRCA staff he stated that "the major problem in that site is the water coming out from
the south side of the property" He went further to add that the volume of water flowing from that
site could not be from the weeping tiles around the foundation but rather from the area to the south
of the property He added that the pwpose of the weeping tiles is only to collect very little
surface water from around the house and not the volume of water that is generated from the south
side.
- Mr Tanos of "Terra probe", during the same meeting (November 6,2000) agreed with Mr Lee
and presented a cross section and an area plan of the site confinning that the area to the south
always contained underground water and the introduction of the house at 35 Beechwood Drive
property might have blocked the flow and forced the water to redirect its flow towards
Beechwood Drive.
n was disappointing to note that:
- this significant underground water and its adverse affects is reflected in the report as surface
water therefore minimizing its adverse effects on the site and on adjoining properties.
- that the renaming of the underground water to "surface" water eliminates the issue with the
hydrostatic pressure.
The above are significant and important points and in contradiction to the issue presented. It is my opinion
that the members of the Executive Conunittee should have been appraised of these findings for an
objective decision on the recommendations.
B Bullet 2, page 47 states:
That there is little evidence of ground water build up behind the retaining wall resulting in
hydrostatic pressures. Evidence provided by the adjacent property owner indicates that the
groundwater is being managed and conveyed through the site to the municipal street.
The writer of this letter strongly disagrees with TRCA's statement that the" .ground water is being
managed and conveyed through the site to the municipal street." Instead the writer clearly stated and
presented through a series of photo graphs that the groundwater is being :MISMANAGED through a poorly
constructed weeping tile system, within and outside the property, resulting in the unsafe conditions on the
street and in the creation of hydrostatic pressure in the winter
-
The evidence submitted to TRCA staff included the following:
- a series of photographs depicting the poor construction of the drainage system
- a video showing the constantly discharging water in front of my property reflecting the volume of
the underground water (referred to previously) that discharges on Beechwood DIWe and on my
driveway,
- a photograph showing more than one inch gap between a 2.5' to 3' high retaining wall and the
edge of the driveway as a result of ice fonnation, built behind the wall,
- a number of photographs depicting the large zones of ice formed in front of my property (appox,
9'x 25') restricting accessability to my property,
- photographs showing the large zones of ice covering his chiveway This ice fonnation has already
changed the slope of the driveway,
It is commonly known that when the ground freezes, plugging the shallow weeping tiles, the constantly
running underground water accumulates behind the walls, freezing behind these walls or finding its way
under otller properties undeImining these properties.
742
C. Page 45 item "1982" includes the following statement:
'~s a result ofthi~ action, the existing "as built" conditions were considered acceptable to the
mCA."
-
The as built conditions Include a 9 -10ft high retaining concrete ,block retaining wall supporting the south
slope.
The following infonnation was submitted to TRCA staff.
- Halsall Associates Limited. Investigation of the Retaining'Wall. Repol1 prepared for TRCA. This
firm is unable to vouch for the structural adequacy ofthe retaining wall.
- Mr Joseph Lee, Joseph Lee E~eering Company Limiteq. 1;'he original Engineer who designed
the subject wall and conducted a nwnbet of site visits. Mr Lee stated dunng the meeting that he is
not vouching for the wall.
- The city's own engineer Mr. Kishmore Henunadi who inspected the wall and has expressed his
written views that "under adverse conditions such as heavy rainstonn the.wall may become
unstable"
- Mr. Stanley Cooper of Cooper Kowowski Structural Engineers who visited the site and inspected
the wall on November 4, 2000, ~nds the wall inadequate. Having reviewed the letter of opinion
and its attachments, prepared by his partner in December 1998 for this wall, he stated during the
meeting that the letter was only a letter of opinion based on the (inadequate ) infonnation provided
to him by the owner and it Is secondary to a letter or position of the original engineer and in this
case Mr Lee who does not vouch for the wall. He clarified that if his partner had the complete
infolmation (i.e. Mr Lee's objection to vouch for the wall and the inadequate construction
processes) he would not have.been generous in his letter In effect he overrid~s his partner's letter
and therefore he d,oes not vouch for the wall either
It is left to the judgement of the members of the Executive Committee to consider the statement that the as
built conditions are considered acceptable, wherr a number of professionals do not vouch for the structural
adequacy of the wall.
It is dishell1tening to note also that an organization as strong and' as responsible as TRCA chose to accept a
retaining wall on a secondary opinion (and use it in court proceedings) while fully aware that the original
SOl1ctural engineer is unwillin& to vouch for the wall.
D. Page 46, para. 4 includes the following statement.
Matters related to site specific drainage, both surface and subsurface, such as weeping tile
drainage and proposed driyeway grades, was liot subject to the requirements of the issued
permit and were dealt with by the municipality through the Site Plan Control approval process.
TIus is not an accurate statement. Through the' approval process the municipality had the opportunity to
review and approve weeping tile drainage and the house drainage to the city services. At the time of the
approval process the subsurface water proble.ql was not known. The boreholes of the the geotechnical
report-indicated no ground water
The uriderground water problem appell10ed during construction. The reconunendations included in the
geotec1uUcal reports referred to previously, were not enforced either by TRCA or by the Municipality
It is my opinion SUPPolted by professional advice received that it is the responsibility of TRCA for the
resolution of adverse a~ects of underground water created by a TRCA pemut within their area of
743
jurisdIction,
In sununary It is my view that the Issue ofthe underground water and its adverse effects on the site
and the adJOll1ll1g properties and structures was addressed m great detail dunng the review and
received support. TIlere seemed to be an understandmg and agreement of the Issue. TIllS Issue In
the report IS now nU1U11U~ed and passed on. No remedy is ideniliied, though I submItted a
reconullendatIon to TRCA

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The subject lot is part of a larger parcel of land acquired from Lee Campbell on March 4, 1999,
under the Humber River Component of the Land Acquisition Project. This property backs onto
the Pal grave Mill Pond which is the focus of the Palgrave Mill Pond Community Action Site
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
A 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
A tender was received for the subject lot in the amount of $62,000 00 The offer received was
not accepted as it was below the appraised value range established by an independent
appraisal obtained by the Authority, and the deposit received from the potential purchaser was
returned
Staff was directed to continue to market the lot and carry out negotiations with all parties who
had expressed an interest in the property and any other parties, until such time as a suitable
offer was at hand, at which time it be submitted to the Members of the Authority for
consideration
Staff continued to advertise the property for sale in the Toronto Star on a regular basis,
however, no serious interest was received In an attempt to obtain wider exposure, the property
was placed on the Multiple Listing Services through J J Grogan Real Estate Limited in
September 2000
The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed this proposal and is in
concurrence with the sale of the property
A map showing the location of the subject lands is appended
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Staff has reviewed the offer and are recommending that the offer be accepted as it is within the
appraised value range established by an independent valuation obtained by the Authority It is
proposed that the proceeds from this sale be used in the funding of the purchase of priority
properties within the Authority's Acquisition Project.

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Under Resolution No 377, adopted at Meeting 16/80 on Wednesday, October 1, 1980, the
Executive Committee authorized the leasing of certain Authority owned lands on the west side
of Frenchman's Bay, in the City of Pickering, to Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club Incorporated for
a 20 year period The parcel consisted of 1 54 acres more or less, with the rental rate being
renewable at 5 year intervals The original rental rate formula was in accordance with the
Metropolitan Toronto Yacht Club Formula. This formula has been used to calculate the annual
rental rate since that time because it provides a good comparative.
In 1995 an additional 0 049 acres were added to the original lease area and the rental rate was
amended to reflect this additional land The Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club Incorporated is now
requesting that an additional 0 325 acres be added to the lease, bring the total leased area to
1 914 acres Staff has reviewed the area requested to be added to the lease and has no
concerns with this addition
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Staff, upon approval by the Authority, will prepare and execute the necessary documents for
the period commencing January 1, 2001
750
,
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The Yach~ Club has beet:l, responsibl!= for the taxes and maintenance related to the leased area
and'they will continue to be respons.ible for these costs The lease provides a net revenue to
the Authority
As per the City of Toronto Yacht Club formula, the lease rate for the year 2000 was $2148
Subsequent yearly lease rate will be adjusted in line with the City of Toronto's formula.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information
Proposal
The proposal is to place fill in a regulated area to facilitate extension of an existing storm sewer
and address an existing erosion site. The existing storm sewer headwall is at the beginning of
a steep draw feature off the main Don River valley east of the Don Valley Parkway and south of
Eglinton Avenue East. Stormwater flowing through the existing outfall has created a severe
erosion problem causing the existing slopes to fail The proposed works require the extension
of the stormsewer by 40 metres and the placement of fill within the eroded area in order to
stabilize and renaturalize the draw feature A plunge pool and vortex weir structure will be

According to TRCA's policies the minimum level of flood protection required for structures
within the SPA is equal to the 1 350 year storm elevation In this case the 350 year storm
elevation equals 172.06 metres c.g d The minimum opening elevation on the east face (rear
door) of the proposed addition exceeds this criteria at 173.35m. TRCA's policies also state
that private servicing such as parking lots can have a level of protection less that the 1 350
year flood event. The lowest spot elevation of 172.65m is indicated on the parking lot which
will be above the 350 year storm. The ingress/egress is safe from the north pursuant to
Provincial flood proofing guidelines Final grades will be lower or match existing in the parking
lot therefore, there will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters The
retaining walls surrounding the parking lot will not create any significant impacts to flooding
The structure will be able to withstand flood flows and velocities

DISTRICT)
The adjacent property owners at 33 and 37 Beechwood Drive have
expressed concerns at the July 7, 2000 Executive Committee regarding
slope instability and drainage as a result of the construction of a new
house and retaining walls on the above noted property
777
Moved by Joan King
Seconded by Donna Patterson
WHEREAS the Executive Committee directed staff to conduct an in-depth review of the
remediation work required to stabilize the property at 35 Beechwood Drive, and report
back to the Committee on how the work will be completed.
THAT the Executive Committee direct staff to advise all parties that the outstanding
issues related to the Authority mandate have been resolved through the resolution of
Authority Permit C-92083
AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to forward information related to the issues
outside of the Authoritts mandate to the City of Toronto to explore other opportunities to

CARRIED
SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The site at 35 and 37 Beechwood Drive is located on the valley wall of the Don River outside of
the Floodplain and entirely within the Fill regulated area. The two homes are built into the
valley slope and Beechwood Drive extends along the valley wall from the top to the bottom of
the slope. The house located at 33 Beechwood Drive sits on the top of bank. The homes at
35 and 37 have been recently constructed, whereas the home at 33 was constructed quite
some time ago

lot at 35 Beechwood Drive subject to the applicant providing a geotechnical
report to the satisfaction of TRCA staff
1990 This position was reiterated on a re-circulation of the application
1992 Ontario Municipal Board (OMS) hearing was held related to the appeal of the
severance at 35 Beechwood Drive from adjacent landowners At this hearing
the severance for 37 Beechwood Drive was also heard The OMB directed that
the various parties work together and resolve the matter Authority staff
reviewed the detailed drawings and geotechnical reports submitted in support of
the applications and concluded that the TRCA issues had been addressed The
severances were approved by the OMB
1992 The TRCA approved permit C-92083 for placement of fill in a regulated area to
facilitate the construction of a new house at 35 Beechwood Drive
1995 The proposed works received Site Plan approval subject to fulfilling conditions
which were included in the Site plan Agreement. A condition of the agreement
required the applicant to obtain a permit under Ontario Regulation from the
TRCA. This condition was fulfilled through the issuance of permit C-92083
1996 The landowner commenced construction of the works
778
.
1998 The TRCA charged the landowner of 35 Beechwood Drive for works not in
accor.dance with the above noted permit. The matter was heard'in Provincial
Offenses Court, where the TRCA and the Defendant presented a joint
agreement on a guilty plea and fine for the Defendant, with the TRCA waiving
the requirement for a removal order As a result of this action, the existing-':as
built" conditions were considered acceptable to the TRCA
2000 July The neighbours from 33 and 37 Beech,wood Drive made a deputation to
the TRCA Executive Committee expressing concerns regarding slQpe instability
and drainage as a result of construction on the ,above noted site.
2000 October/November' Staff met with the landowner, neighbours, City of Toronto
Staff ~nd Mike Tanos of Terraprobe to conduct a review of the matter and
determine any potential solutions
ISSUES
The adjoining property owners have raised four primary issues pertaining to 35 Beechwood
Drive.
. Slope stability adjacent to 33 Beeqhwood Drive. At present the slope is stabilized through
a series of retaining walls (along a portion of the property line with 33 Beechwood is an
older retaining wall (wall A) that predates the permit approval, a temporary shoring wall that
was installed as part of the house construction is located on the upper portion of the slope,
and. curved retaining wall (wall C) at the lower portion of the site) The issues relate to the
stabHity-<:>f-tfie-slepe-aftd-petentiaHmpaet-en-the-pr6perty-at--SB-Beeehweod-as-well-as-the -
potential disturbance to the gas line which runs adjacent to 33 Beechwood The location of
the retaining walls is shown on the attached site pran
. Sub-surface drainage concerns which could potentially affect the slope stability The
adjacent residents have indicated that hydrostatic pressure is building behind the wall as a
result of poor drainage and construction of weeping tiles, which over"time will destabilize
the slope.
, . Surface drainage is concentrated at the northern corner: of 35 Beechwood Drive which
collects on the driveway and roadway in front of 37 Beechwood Drive. The adjacent
residents are cqncerned that this impacts public .safety, specifically the ice buildup onjhe
street and driveway during the winter months
. The stability of the wall (wall D) between the two homes at 35 and 37 Beechwood and the
wall (wall C) between the driveways The adjacent lanc;:lowner is concerned with material
falling onto the outdoor porch, fr:om wall D creating both a safety and enjoyment of property
issue.
TRCAINVOLVEMENT
The scope of the Authority's involvement on this site relates to an evaluation of the placement
of fill with in the Fill Regulated area to ensure slope stability In relation to the specific issues
identified by the adjacent owners, TRCA involvement would look to E?nsure that the overall
, 779
, .
slope stability will not create a hazard to the site and the surrounding area The issues related
to the stability of the wall between the two homes, stability of the wall between the driveways,
and the surface drainage onto the roadway and the adjacent driveways are not concerns that
the Authority has the ability or the mandate to address However, given that the neighbours
have raised these additional concerns we will continue to discuss these issues with the City of
Toronto to ensure that any opportunities through the City's requirements are explored
Therefore, in accordance with the Authority's mandate our comments have focused on the
slope stability assessment including the component of the subsurface drainage as it may affect
the overall slope stability
TRCA's previous comments related to ensuring that any new development on the subject site
addressed the slope stability hazard The proponent provided technical documentation to the
satisfaction of staff in support of the proposed severance and new house This allowed
Authority staff to support the related planning applications and issuance of a permit for the
placement of fill in a regulated area in order to construct a new house. In general, permits are
issued assuming that the applicant will complete normal maintenance on the approved works
and is not based on set life time of the works (e.g 100 years) Matters related to site specific
drainage, both surface and subsurface, such as weeping tile drainage and proposed driveway
grades, was not subject to the requirements of the issued permit and were dealt with by the
municipality through the Site Plan Control approval process
GEOTECHNICAL REVIEW
Given the issues expressed by the adjacent owners the TRCA undertook a review of the
current site conditions At the request of the TRCA Staff, Terraprobe carried out a geotechnical
review of the slope conditions at 33, 35 and 37 Beechwood Drive. A copy of this report will be
forwarded to the City of Toronto as part of a package on the site issues The review included
discussions with TRCA staff, landowner, neighbours and previously involved technical
consultants, a site inspection of the properties, a review of available geological information and
previous borehole logs, TRCA file information, adjacent property owners' written concerns, and
the October 19, 2000 submission package from the landowner at 33 Beechwood Dr
The results of the review by Terraprobe and by TRCA technical staff regarding slope stability
and subsurface drainage are as follows
. There is little factual evidence to suggest there are any significant adverse conditions
related to slope or retaining wall instability which might impact the house at No 33
Beechwood Dr ,
. That failure of the retaining walls on 35 Beechwood is not expected to result in significant
slope instability or negatively-impact the house at 33 Beechwood Drive. Staff note that the
slope on 35 Beechwood Drive, which is comprised of very dense Sandy Silt Till, was left

has remained stable subsequent to completion of construction

ADDITIONAL INFORMA1fION
Additional information within the'Terraprobe report included a review of matters outside of the
Authority ability or mandate to address, such as the two walls located between the driveways
and between the houses of 37 and 35 Beechwood Drive, and site drainage. The report
indicates that there.are some loosely stacked pre-cast blocks between the two houses at, Nos.
35 and 37 on the west side, which if dislodged present a danger to the patio area of No 37
Furthermore, there is a low retaining wall between Nos 35 and 37 near the road, which is
leaning and unstable, it does no!- currently present a danger to pedestrians or to vehicles, but it
may topple and may result in minor ground movement which could affect the driveway of No
35 There is perched ground water seepage discharging from the high table land and the
slope crest area of Nos 35 and 33, onto the slope soil, surface and outletting near the road
curb, during cold weather this seepage likely freezes and ices thereby presenting a danger
(slippery ice on ground) to pedestrians and vehicles These issues relate to municipal Property
S,tandards which should be.explpred further by the.City of Toronto Staff As such this report
will forwarded to the City for information and appropriate action
Staff has also had an opportunity to discuss the potential. disturba,nc~ of the gas line se~icing
35 Beechwood prive due to slope instability Enbridge Consumers Gas has stated that the
existing site condition is satisfactory and .foresee no issues regarding the safety of the noted
gas line as a, result of slope instability on the site.
SUMMARY
Staff's review of the matter has concluded the following points
. That the issues of slope stability assessment including the component of the subsurface
drainage as it may affect the overall slope stability which relate to the Authority mandate
have been resolved through the resolution of Authority Permit C-92083 The resolution was
completed through TRCA's successful charges and conviction of the landowner of 35
Beechwood Drive and the agreed upon joint settlement before the Provincial Offenses
Court.
. That the evaluation completed by T erraprobe on behalf of the TRCA, indicated that there is
little factual evidence to suggest there are any significant adverse conditions related to
slope or retaining wall instability which might impact,the house at No 33 Beechwood'Dr
. The issues related to the stability of the wall between, the two homes, stability of the wall
between the driveways, and the surface drainage o.nto the roadway and the adjacent
driveways are issues that the Authority has no remedy or the mandate to address
781,
In summary, there is no opportunity or need for staff to recommend changes to the site. In
addition, the issues pertaining to the surface and subsurface drainage are outside the permit
requirements of the TRCA.

THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS CARRIED
,
BACKGROUND
The City of Vaughan has undertaken a review of Official Plan Amendment 400 which was
approved by the Province in 1995 OPA 400 guided the growth and development of three
communities in Va,ughan as well as the 'protection of the rural area and the natural
environment. In general, OPA 600 provides for changes in the land use designations by
adding some additional lands for urban development, as well as an update of other policies
including the environmental policies For the most part, OPA 400 policies provided an
excellent framework for the protection and restoration of natural features within the City of
Vaughan, and this framework has been continued in O~A 600 Many of the policies within the
amendment have set standards for other environmental policies withill our jurisdiction
During preparation of the upc;late of OPA 400-policies, staff provided comments to the City, and
many of these comments have been included in OPA 600, with the exception of the following
. Authority staff had requested that the amendment incorporate the requirement for a buffer,
generally 10 metres, adjacent to the Valley and Stream Corridors The previous approved
policies of OPA 400 established a buffer of generally 10 metres for most areas of the City
with the exception of the areas identified a9 DeferraL 5 For the Deferral 5 areas, the
policies required a structural setback of 10 metres from the top of bank. The effect of OPA
600 policies would be to now only require a structural setback from the top of bank in all
, .
areas of the City rather than the buffer previously required in OPA 400 and recently adopted
for the Kleinburg/Nashville area (OPA 601)
. Within the Water Resource policies, Authority staff had requested changes to ensure that
where necessary, regional control of stormwater may be required Regional control may be
necessary in some of the upper reaches to ensure minimal impact on aquatic habitat and
downstream landowners The necessity of this requirement would be determined through
the preparation of a MESP
. Changes. to the Wetland policies late in the process would allow for the-relocation or
replication of Class 4 to 7 wetland features which are currently unevaluated Authority staff
recommend that relocation or replications not be considered as an alternative to protection
of the features and functions at the existing location
783
OPA 600 was adopted by the City of Vaughan on September 25, 2000 The Region of York
has requested the Authority's comments by December 8, 2000
RATIONALE
Buffer Policies
The policies of OPA 600 generally require that necessary buffer areas are provided to ensure
the protection of wetlands, woodlot and Environmentally Significant Areas The necessary
buffer width, which could be set aside as a separate block, would be determined through
further study at the more detailed planning stage (Block Plan stage)
A similar requirement is not adopted for the valley and stream corridor which are an important
element of the overall natural heritage system The long term protection of the valley and
stream corridors are achieved by ensuring that the overall function of the features is
maintained The purpose of a buffer is to provide for a transition between the urban
development and the natural features, which has the effect of filtering the impact of new
development. A buffer provides for the following functions
. changes in grade and drainage patterns between the limits of the natural feature and the
new development;
. runoff management which minimize erosion and impacts on water quality,
. wind, noise and light impacts on flora and fauna,
. additional vegetative protection for more sensitive natural features,
. a buffer strip to filter undesirable contaminants and reduces dumping of yard waste,
. management of hazardous trees and control of invasive plants,
. screens the natural area, its wildlife, and recreational uses from the visual impacts of
development,
. emergency access to natural features, and
. a margin of error against microclimatic and other long term changes in the environment.
A buffer provides an area where the negative impact to the features can be mitigated As a
result, the management of this area is crucial to its success in meeting its objective. Given the
role of a buffer in protecting the feature, it may be necessary for it to be set aside from the lot
fabric, maintained in a natural state and ideally revegetated Implemented as a structural
setback and used as an amenity space, within the yard, the buffer is most a often manicured
lawn with limited ground cover diversity and in many instances has been regraded,
accommodating pools and landscaping features For the most part, structural setbacks, do
not allow the buffer to perform the functions as indicated above
Staff recommend that the policies of OPA 600 be amended to generally require a buffer of 10
metres adjacent to the valley and stream corridors This modification would reflect the policy
intent of the TRCA Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, as well as the intent of
policies adopted by the City of Vaughan for the recently approved Kleinburg/Nashville area,
and the previously approved policies applicable in OPA 400 for the areas outside of the
Deferral 5 areas In addition, it is recommended that a similar buffer requirement be reflected
for stream corridors The buffering of stream corridors becomes more crucial when
considering protection of water quality and fisheries within some of the urban expansion areas
at the headwaters on the Oak Ridges Moraine where there is no definable valley features
784
,
~ -
'0
The necessity of providing a buffer requirement has been established within other Official Plans
in York Region Both the Town of Markham and the King City Secondary Plan recognize and
require the protection of a buffer adjacent to all features In both these instances, the Plan's
establish minimum buffer widths, which in the case of valley and stream corridors, is 10 metres
A ~imilar treatment 9.f the valley and stream corridors within the Qity of Vaughan is
'" recommended
Regional Control of Stormwater
The policies of OPA 600 currently require that stormwater be controlled at a pre-development
level for 2 through 100 year storm events Authority staff recommend that the pqlicies be
modified to ensure that, where necessary through the MESP, regional control be required
While in the past, 100 year control has been found adequate, there are areas where regional
control may be necessary as development extends into the middle and upper reaches of the
watershed To ensur~ minimal impact on aquatic habitat and downstream landowners, the
policies in OPA 600 should- not preclude this level of control
Wetland Features
OPA 400 policies for unclassified wetlands assessed as Class 4 through 7, requires that
proponents demonstrate that the important wetland functions will be protected The changes
to these policies through OPA 600 would allow, as an alternative, that the feature may be
replicated or relocated to the satisfa..ction of the City and the TRCA. The effect of this change
is to open the opportunity to relocate important wetland features to other locations Wetland
features eXist on the landscape as a result of many factors For the most part they cannot be
simply relocated and continue to perform a comparable natural function While staff strongly
support and advocate the creation of wetlands where enhancement opportunities exist, we do
not support their creation to replace existing features and functions on the current landscape.
Staff recommend that this intent be deleted from OPA 600 given that the current process allows
for the identification of important features which are to be maintained in the longer term In
cases where these functions are miminal, the protection of these functions can be
accomplished in a variety of ways.
CONCLUSIONS
Authority staff recommend that the Executive Committee request the Region of York to modify
policies of Official Plan Amendment 600 to ensure that:
. a buffer along valley and stream corridors which is not solely a structural setback be
included to ensure that the important features and functions of these areas are maintained
in the long term,
. the requirement of Regional Control of Stormwater, where necessary, be included to
ensure that downstream landowners are protected, and
. the provision to allow for the rel~cation or replication of important wetland features be
deleted
WORK TO BE DONE
Staff will forward this report as well as other minor modifications to York Region as a response
to their request for comments A further report to the Executive Committee on the outcome of
discussions with York Region and the City of Vaughan will follow

RES.#B192/00 - ALBION HILLS FIELD CENTRE DAIRY FARM - EXTENSION OF
LICENCE AGREEMENT
CFN 24380 Request for a one year extension to the Albion Hills Field
Centre Dairy Farm licence agreement between Jeff Cridland and the
Authority
Moved by Ron Moeser
Seconded by Lorna Bissell
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT a one year extension to the Albion
Hills Field Centre Dairy Farm licence agreement between Jeff Cridland and the Authority
be granted,
THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to execute all
necessary documentation required,
THAT staff undertake a cost/benefit analysis of the Dairy Farm to provide the future
direction for this program,
AND FURTHER THAT staff report to a future meeting of the Authority with respect to their
business analysis and resultant recommendations.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Since the mid 1960's the Authority has operated the farm at Albion Hills under licence
agreement. The farm has been a component of the Albion Hills Field Centre's education
program offerings and continues to be used by both customers of the Authority's education
program and that of the Etobicoke Outdoor Education Centre. The agreement with the current
farm operator, Jeff Cridland, is now up for renewal
The farm manager supplies the livestock, machinery and expertise needed to run a dairy farm.
In addition, the farm manager allows public visitation to his operation and provides a learning
experience through interaction with students and other visitors The Authority supplies the farm
buildings, milkhouse equipment, milk quota and land Quota for 32 head of cattle was given to
the Authority a number of years ago, free of charge, by the Milk Marketing Board to support
our demonstration efforts This was further augmented through the purchase of quota for 8
head by the Authority, the current farm manager has also purchased and uses his own milk
quota. The Milk Marketing Board pays the Authority directly for the milk produced at the farm
and the Authority deducts the monthly rent from the milk cheque and forwards the balance to
the farm operator Additionally, the Etobicoke Outdoor Education Centre provides the
Authority an annual contribution towards the program.
796
. -
The,current farm operator has expr,essed an interest in eX'tend!ngthe agreemellt for an
additional number of years Authority staff has met on several occasions to review the terms ,
and conditions of the agreement, and have concluded that prior to entering into a new
agrl3ement a formal assessment of the costs and b~nefits of the program needs to be
conipleted This analysis would provide the information- necessary to determine the future
direction for any terms and conditions of this program
As such, staff are recommending a one year extension to the licence agreement with Jeff
Cridland, at a monthly rent of $1,600 ($19,200 annually) which is a nominal increase of
$100jmonth For the most;part th~ balance of the terms and conditions associated with the
original licence agreement remain unaltered, save and except some minor changes for
clarification purposes and the requirement that the farm operator maintain the access road to
the farm.
RATIONALE
Given the amount of time which has passed since the inception of this program, and the age of
the infrastructure and facilities associated with this agreement, a formal assessment of the
costs and benefits associated with the program needs to be completed prior to negotiating
and committing to a longer term arrangement.

I
Proposal
The purpose is to enclose a remnant watercourse to facilitate the construction of a proposed
industrial development. The subject property is located at the south west corner of Tomken
and Britannia Road in the City of Mississauga. The property is traversed by a watercqurse,
flowing in an east/west direction to T omken Road Downstream of Tomken Road the
watercourse is piped
Control of Flooding -
The subject watercourse drains an area less than 125 hectares - Enclosure of the watercourse
will not impact the storage or conveyance of floodwaters
Pollution
Sediment control measures will be installed to ensure that no sediments leaves the site via the
culvert under Tomken Road
Conservation of Land
Authority staff have been to the property to assess the features and functions of the
watercourse that traverses the property and have concluded that the portion of the
watercourse west of Highway 410 has been diverted and therefore it no Iqnger drains an area
_greater than 125 hectares Additionally, as a result of the substantial reduction in contributing_
flow, there are no aquatic functions worthy of preservation The watercourse downstream (east
of T omken Road) has already been piped In light of these circumstances Authority staff have
concluded that this watercourse no longer serves its historic function and need not be
preserved as an open channel

The subject property is located almost entirely within the Regional Storm floodplain of
Etobicoke Creek. Parking at this location has been an ongoing problem for a number of years
and a number of alternative solutions to this problem have been examined As part of the
discussions with Authority staff, it was decided that the best solution would be to achieve
additional parking on the adjacent property to the west. While these lands located behind the
existing Speedy Muffler are located within the floodplain, they are located outside of the
hydraulic floodway and lie within a backwater area where velocities are close to zero There
will be no impact on existing natural features or fish habitat

including the Don River Existing servicing is in place to address surface water runoff during
and after construction
Conservation of Land
There will be no impact on the conservation of land
Policy Guidelines
The Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program does not promote the location of
emergency services within Special Policy Areas However, the entire community for which this
police facility will serve would be flood susceptible during a regional storm event. It is

,
-' .
,
necessary thatthe facility be located within the community which it serves Given this, a site at
the flood fringe was selected by Police Services, over the originally preferred site which was
entirely flood susceptible. Staff support this location at the flood fringe as this site would not
hamper police activities in a flood event while also meet the Police Services requirements for a
site within the community

RES.#B197/00 - AUTHORITY REALTY TAXES
Tax Consultant, CFN 26340 Hiring of Yeoman & Associates Inc. to
assist with. a review of all realty taxaQle Authority holdings to determine if
the new current value assessment attributed to the properties are fair and
reasonable, to assist with negotiation with the Assessment Offices for
reduction of assessed values and appeal any assessed values where
negotiations are unsuccessful
Moved by Jim McMaster
Seconded by Michael Di Biase
THAT the firm of Yeoman & Associates Inc. be engaged to assist with the review of al)
realty taxable Authority ti.oldings, to assist with negotiation with the Assessment Offices
and to assist with any necessary asses~ment appeals to a limit of $10,000 plus G.S T
and reasonable expenses.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Province of Ontario introduced a province wide current value realty tax system in 1998.
This new system was to be phased in over a number of years For the first three years (1998,
1999 and 2000) the current values of properties in the province were based on their value as of
June 30, 1,996 For the next two years (2001 and 2002) the current values of properti~s in the
province will be based on their value as of June 30, 1999
This re-assessment was done in a much snorter period of time than most experts advised
The assessments were generated using computer models, which is fairly accurate for similar
types of properties with large volumes of sales such as residential As Authority lands are
unique, there was' a high probability that there would be incorrect assessments
Quotations were,obtained from three tax consultants to assist with a review of all realty taxable
Authority holdings, to assist with negotiation with the Assessment Offices and to assist with any
necessary assessment arpeals Yeoman & Associates Inc. was the successful firm and was
hired to undertake this work in May of 1998.
833
While the focus of this initial phase of this project was to review all Authority holdings to identify
assessments that were unreasonable, there was some flexibility to undertake discussions with
the various assessment Offices to resolve any significant discrepancies in values As a result
of this review and discussions with the Assessment Offices, Yeoman & Associates Inc
achieved an initial reduction in 1998 taxes of approximately $70,000 Also, as a result of this
review process, appeals were filed in 1998 for 116 roll numbers In late 1998 Yeoman &
Associates Inc was engaged by the Authority to finalize the outstanding 1998 assessment
appeals
As a result of the 1998 province wide re-assessment, a high number of assessments were
considered incorrect and an overwhelming number of assessment appeals were filed with the
Assessment Review Board This created quite a back log for the Assessment Review Board
resulting in Hearing dates for 1998 appeals being delayed In the case of the Authority,
Pre-Hearing dates for the Authority's outstanding 1998 assessment appeals were delayed until
early 2000 The 116 roll numbers were automatically appealed for 1999 and 2000 with no
additional appeal fees being payable The Authority also appealed an additional 24 roll
numbers for properties that were acquired during this time.
Through extensive negotiations with Assessment Offices in the Regions of York and Durham,
on behalf on the Authority, Yeoman & Associates Inc were able to achieve for the years 1998
to 2000 reductions of taxes of approximately $85,000 per year on top of the approximately
$70,000 per year achieved from the initial review To date, negotiations with Assessment
Officials in the Region of Peel is ongoing for the 1998, 1999 and 2000 taxation years, and is
anticipated to be resolved in early 2001
Staff will report further in early 2001 on the outcome of all the outstand;ng property tax appeals
With a new current value assessment for 2001, there is again a high probability that there will
be incorrect assessments for Authority owned lands given the properties unique
characteristics Staff is recommending hiring Yeoman & Associates Inc to undertake a review
of all new 2001 assessments
In recognizing that there is an opportunity to have discussions with Assessment Offices prior to
the March 31, 2001 appeal deadline with the possibility to reach an agreement to reduce the
assessment without the Authority having to pay any appeal fee, it is important to undertake the
necessary review of all our assessments in a timely manner
RATIONALE
The knowledge gained by Yeoman & Associates Inc. of Authority properties and there values
during the 1998-2000 appeals will be beneficial in reviewing the new assessments Yeoman &
Associates Inc has demonstrated their ability and experience in dealing with assessment
related matters

RES.#B201/00 - PAYROLL\HUMAN RESOURCES SYSTEM PROPOSAL SELECTION
The results of a proposal call process for Payroll and Human Resources
, application software are presented, together with a recommendation for:
the purchase of software.
Moved by' Jim McMaster
Seconded by Michael Di Biase
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT The Authority enter into an agreement for the purchase of
Payroll\HR software with St~rGarden Software Inc. for an amount not to exceed $73,750
plus applicable taxes;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed and authorized to enter into and sign any
necessary contracts or other documents with StarGarden Software Inc. in a form and
subject to terms an9 conditions satisfactory to the Authority
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
This summer, the Authority initiated a proposal call process for Payroll and Human Resources
application software This process was initiated in order to address numerous concerns wjth
regard to HR functionality and payroll accounting in existing programs Although, Ceridian
(previously Comcheq), the Authority's payroll service provider, had responded favourably to ,
our needs as addressed in the proposal call process of 1996\97, it is now abundantly clear that
they cannot deliver more than a basic payroll service. For example, the Ceridian HR module
cannot be used because it requires unique job titles, the vacation credit accumulator requires
constant adjustment and provides no history, no report is possible which tracks employee
labour charges or benefit costs over a given period or for a given project; the report writer is
cumbersome, and no event in~icators are. available. The cost of the Ce~dian service is about
$24,000 per year
ANALYSIS
The proposal call document was prepared with the help of a payroll consulting firm, Leading
Edge Payroll Applications Inc The consultant identified nine suppliers whq, were invited to
submit a proposal Six responses were received, one of which was to inform us that the
company would not be responding to our process The five proposals received were initially
rejected on the basis of cost, lack of functionality and/or the incompleteness of the response.
On the advice of the consultant, staff met with three of the software suppliers (including the one
who had failed to submit a proposal) to ensure that the functional requirements were, in fact,
understood and to further review the cost elements of each product The fourth respondent
was not approached because cost was excessive (close to $200,000) and finally, the last two
respondents were not approached because they clearly could not meet the functional
requirements
As a result of additional meetings with the three suppliers, the proposal from Microtec
Computer Systems Inc was rejected on the basis of functionality Staff continued the
evaluation of the remaining two proposals - one from StarGarden Software Inc., with its main
office in Vancouver and the other from Best Software in Burlington Upon closer examination it
became clear that the Best Software splution did not currently provide all of the functionality
required, but the Company had intended to offer possible solutions in the new.release of the
845
program, scheduled for March or April 2001
Both the consultants and staff prefer the Stargarden proposal Of all of the proposals
examined it is the only one that meets all of the Authority's functional requirements at this time,
as addressed in the proposal call document. Unlike the Best Software solution, it is not a
series of "stackable" modules which require additional investment as our information needs
grow Unique to their proposal, StarGarden has undertaken a detailed, on-site, assessment of
our PR/HR needs and IT environment in order to determine any implementation or IT issues
and to assure itself that it can complete the assignment within the cost estimates provided
The assessment document, including a proposed implementation schedule, has been
presented to staff
References have been checked and have been extremely positive The software was often
described as "flexible" or adaptive and the support service as excellent. This is consistent with
the payroll consultant's evaluation
As an alternative solution, staff asked the City of Toronto if it would consider acting as a service
provider to the Authority The City clearly intends to extend its SAP system to all of its ABC's,
the library being currently on the top of their priority list. (None of the ABC's are currently on
the City's SAP system) The advantages of this course of action include the ability to access a
high quality HR/PR system for a fraction of the cost, as well as dependable back up facilities
and programming However, it may take several years before the City is ready to extend its
program to the Authority There may also be licensing issues to deal with because the
Authority is not a controlled entity of the City At the moment, City staff are not prepared to
contemplate how they would charge for services And there may also be other logistical
issues which will have to be dealt with, specifically addressing exactly what level of service the
City would provide versus how much they would allow the Authority to do for itself Staff will
continue to monitor the City's progress in extending its SAP system to the ABC's and may
recommend an alternate course of action at a later date.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The StarGarden proposal will cost approximately $73,750, excluding taxes The Best Software
proposal which, as noted above, does not meet the Authority's needs, came in at $62,650
Although funding for this project has been identified within the 2000 budget, should the need
arise, management has committed to making this project a priority for the 2001 budget cycle.
Should the Executive not approve staff's recommendation, the Authority is required to pay
StarGarden $2,500 for its on-site assessment, which has already been undertaken, otherwise,
the cost of the assessment is included in the estimate noted above. In addition to the initial
outlay for the software, StarGarden will require an annual maintenance agreement starting at
$9,800 for 2001

Proposal
The proposal consists of excavating a new creek bed north of Bayly Street, filling the old creek
bed to facilitate the construction of a new bridge which will be located 50 metres west of the
existing bridge. Subsequently the route of Carruthers Creek will be altered to the west. In July
of 2000 an application was approved at the Executive for the alteration of the waterway south
of Bayly associated with the road widening as the creek was too close to the road In October
of 2000 the Region came forward with this present proposal to remove the existing bridge in
the east and construct a new bridge due west in order to overcome a number of hurdles
including safety concerns at the existing intersection of the Bayly Street bridge at Shoal Point
Road Watercourse alterations, fill excavation and placement will occur south of Bayly and
these works have been included in a revision to the existing south permit.
Control of Flooding
The HEC-2 Analysis for the bridge and works associated with the bridge has been reviewed
and these works will not have any implications to flooding Final grades will match existing
therefore, there will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters. All stockpiles
of fill from the excavated channel will be located outside the Regional Floodplain
Pollution
Standard erosion control measures (silt fences) will be implemented to ensure that
construction-generated sediments do not enter the watercourse
Conservation of Land
All disturbed areas will be restored following construction As the creek will be altered to the
west and a length of the channel will be filled in and subsequently the fish habitat, this
application will require authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The
original length of the existing channel north of Bayly is 132 metres The new designed channel
will be 155 metres One hundred and twelve metres of the existing channel will be filled Once
TRCA receives the DFO authorization, the TRCA permit will be released To compensate for
the habitat loss the applicant is proposing enhanced fish habitat through riparian plantings,
pool riffle sequences and erosion control measures in the new channel As well, an excavated
area connected to the creek for pike spawning habitat south of Bayly Street will be
constructed All instream work (i e. tie in of new channel to old channel) will be conducted
during the warmwater timing window of July 1 to March 31 The excavation of the new channel,
removal of the old bridge, construction of the new bridge, will be conducted in the dry No
significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works There will be no slope

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 acquisition of the Timbers property was completed on May 18, 1999 Local residents and
other concerned citizens contributed $112,000 At the time of closing, there was an
outstanding balance of funding required to be raised which totalled $288,000 The
Conservation Foundation's Charles Sauriol Environmental Land Trust undertook to try to
complete the fundraising To date the Land Trust has raised $168,473. Also, staff and
representatives of the residents at the time of closing agreed that consideration might be given
to a severance of a small lot which could be sold to offset the outstanding balance for the
purchase of the Timbers site.
This suggestion was put before the Duffins Creek Headwaters Advisory Committee at their
recent meeting by a resident member of the Committee. The Duffins Creek Headwaters
Advisory Committee has asked the Authority to consider the sale of a small parcel of the former
Timbers property to cover the outstanding costs associated with the purchase of the Timbers
property The size and location of the lot will be determined as part of the review
A plan illustrating this location is attached

RES.#B21 0/00 - TOMMY THOMPSON PARK - MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
University of Guelph, Landscape Research Group, Design Services The
University of Guelph, Landscape Research Group within the School of
Landscape Architecture has submitted a proposal to formalize an
arrangement with The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in the
development of concept designs, site studies and research required to
facilitate the implementation of the Tommy Thompson Park Master Plan
Moved by Michael Di Biase
Seconded by Joan King
THAT the Landscape Research Group at the University of Guelph, be authorized to
undertake concept designs, additional studies, and research in cooperation with the
Authority, City of Toronto staff, the Tommy Thompson Park Advisory Group, other
interest groups and the public.
THAT a Memorandum of Understanding for Research and Design be developed between
The University of Guelph - Landscape Research Group and The Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority
AND FURTHER THAT A project Terms of Reference be developed for Tommy Thompson
Park for the delivery of research and design services at a total cost not to exceed
$75,000 plus G.S T
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In 1959, the Toronto Harbour Commissioners (now known as the Toronto Port Authority (TPA)
began construction of a spit of land at the base of Leslie Street in the City of Toronto, to
expand port facilities in anticipation of increased shipping activity on the Great Lakes From
1959 until present day, a combination of lakefilling and dredging activities created the current
configuration of Tommy Thompson Park. Construction followed a three phased design with the
formation of the Eastern Headland first, followed by the peninsulas on the north side of the
spine in 1973-74 and the Endikement, which was initiated in 1979 Tommy Thompson Park
extends 5 kilometres into Lake Ontario and has a total land base of approximately 160 hectares
and a water surface area of 100 hectares composed of embayments and the disposal cells
The three disposal cells, contained between the endikement and the main spine (headland),
have been designed as a Confined Disposal Facility for the disposal of dredged material The
smaller of the three cells (Cell 1 - 8.2 hectares and Cell 2 - 9 3 hectares) have both been filled
to capacity and no longer receive dredgeate. Cell 3, the largest at 32.1 hectares, is still actively
used for dredgeate disposal
To date, park activities have been tied to the Interim Management Program, Keating Channel
Dredging and Disposal Program, and Habitat Creation Projects
The framework for the habitat work at Tommy Thompson Park has been designed through an
extensive Master Planning Process conducted by the TRCA (Tommy Thompson Park Master
Plan and Environmental Assessment (EA), MTRCA, 1989 with final approval by the Minister of
the Environment in 1992. The Master Planning Process involved an ecological approach to
park development which focused on preserving and creating a unique urban wilderness, and
873
consisted of consultations, workshops and public meetings The process began in 1983 and
entailed a five-phase approach
Phase I Setting of goals/zone identification/review of background data (completed
1985)
Phase II Evaluation of development components/identification of restraints (completed
1 986)
Phase III Examination of concept alternatives/selection of preferred concept plan
(completed 1987)
Phase IV Preparation of a Master Plan (completed 1989; revised and approved 1992)
Phase V Environmental Assessment Act approval (received 1995)
The main objectives of the Master Plan are to
. Preserve significant species,
. Protect environmentally significant areas,
. Enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitat, and
. Enhance public recreational opportunities
In addition, detailed plans have been completed for the Disposal Cell 1 area and include a
Capping Proposal for the site, a Wetland Creation Plan and a detailed Environmental
Monitoring Plan
A key component of how this park functions, will be the quality of the park infrastructure
including the park connections, park services, facilities, environmental programming and
education, as well as the quality of the various park attributes. Detailed concepts and design
directions are needed to build on the intent of the Master Plan and ensure that the park
development is in keeping with current design standards This Park is a key element of the
new waterfront revitalization highlighted in the Fung Report, the City's report Our Toronto
Waterfront: Building Momentum and in achieving the targets within the Toronto Remedial
Action Plan
DETAILS OF THE WORK TO BE DONE
The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is the lead agency for this project with respect
to project direction, administration, and support. The University of Guelph will appoint a
project manager who will supervise students, faculty, and direct the production of plans and
designs as well as logistics of the overall project. Through a comprehensive Memorandum of
Understanding the TRCA and the Landscape Research Group (University of Guelph) will work
together to develop five principle products as follows
. updated Master Plan presentation drawings,
. the development of preliminary concepts for a Park Interpretive Centre,
. park Gateway and Trail Design Standards,
. a habitat design option for Disposal Cell Two, and
. cooperative research on the biophysical resources of the site.
The Landscape Research Group will use an ecosystem approach to all aspects of this project
and consider the following planning and design issues
874
. biophysical context and ecological connections,
. waterfront planning and city context;
. public access and parking requirements,
. program alternative/user group determination,
. sustainable design policies (services, architecture),
. social marketing,
. economics, and
. phasing
The Landscape Research Group will conduct five principle areas of work with attention to the
anticipated products
The Development Of Detailed Concepts For A Park Interpretive Centre
The TRCA envisions the Tommy Thompson Park Interpretive Centre as the "Keystone feature
of the Park"
The preliminary design of a multi-use facility that can house and provide formal and informal
educational opportunities, engage the general public, speaks to the characteristics of the site,
provides staff and monitoring offices, houses our environmental monitoring equipment (RN
AQUALAB,& NIGHT HERON ETC) and demonstrates the concept of sustainability The
Landscape Resource Group will develop a series of detailed concepts, and assist the TRCA in
an evaluation process of the preferred Interpretive Centre concept/preliminary design
Park Gateway And Trail Design Standards
An integral component of the overall park is how well it connects to the broader community,
the TRCA believes that the development of a Park Gateway is crucial in engaging the
community and setting the expectations of a urban wilderness park. The Landscape Research
Group will develop a series of park Gateway concepts for agency and public review
Trail standards, and interpretive signage will provide the majority of the park users with the
conduit into and overall understanding of the park. In keeping with the Tommy Thompson
Park Master Plan and City of Toronto Trail Standards the Landscape Research Group will
provide concepts on trails and signage that reflect and highlight the unique nature of the park.
Habitat Design Option For Disposal Cell Two
Building on the work to date around habitat designs within Cell One and Triangle Pond the
Landscape Research Group will develop habitat design concepts for Disposal Cell 2. These
designs must take into account sediment quality characteristics of the site, biophysical
attributes, and help to improve local biodiversity A preferred concept plan will be selected
through this process
Updated Master Plan Drawings
The Landscape Research Group will develop updated Master Plan drawings taking into
account existing site conditions, existing and proposed habitat enhancement works, and
preferred concepts determined by this project, all consistent with the approved Master Plan,
1992.
875
Cooperative Research On The Biophysical Resources Of The Site
The TRCA would like to utilize the faculty and expertise at the University of Guelph to conduct
biological research at the site that would further our understanding of existing conditions and
direct proposed habitat restoration efforts Research could be directed at studies into fish &
wildlife communities, physical conditions, botanical conditions and habitat management
practices
It is proposed that the University of Guelph would assist the TRCA through a TIP Advisory
Group to review various concepts for the research and design work outlined above.
RATIONALE
Engaging the Landscape Research Group to assist the Authority in developing the details of
the Tommy Thompson Park Master Plan has many benefits. Primarily the interaction with
academia allows the TRCA access to the faculty and student resources of a leading Resource
Management University This arrangement will provide the opportunity for TRCA staff
development, promotion of TRCA expertise, and the timely development of detailed concept
plans This work will assist the Authority in cultivating Tommy Thompson Park as a unique
urban wilderness waterfront park in context of the renewed interest in the waterfront.
The advantage of working with the Landscape Research Group is the TRCA's ability to
participate with students and faculty in the Environmental Sciences, Geography, Architecture,
Biology, and Education programs This contact and cooperation can direct the University in
leading edge research of the biological conditions of Tommy Thompson Park and develop
concept plans that are c~' 1sistent with Master Plan This research will provide powerful insight
into the park and allow the integration of research results into the park design and facilities as
we embark on a revitalized Toronto Waterfront.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The total cost of this research and design partnership with the University of Guelph -
Landscape Group including all fees, materials, and all other costs has an upset limit of
$75,000 The TRCA proposes that this project would commence March 2001 and be
completed in one full year

Shoreplan Engineering Limited has completed the coastal engineerin~ analysis and
preliminary designs for the Port Union Study Phases I and II, as outlined in the original terms of
reference. The terms of reference stated that final design drawings would be required only for
the Phase I sector (Highland Creek easterly to Chesterton Shores) Since most of the
shoreline in this sector was in public ownership, it was considered the higher priority for
877
immediate implementation and therefore final design/construction drawings would be required
as part of this contract.
The first extension to the Shoreplan contract has also been completed and this work related to
addressing outstanding tasks required as part of the Environmental Assessment Act. The work
completed included the design analyses to investigate an additional alternative concept
design, and technical input to support the defensible methods process and review with the
technical staff at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans on the Federal Screening Report
under Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.
RATIONALE
The extension of the Shoreplan Engineering contract is recommended in order to maintain the
overall design principles that have been developed for the Phase I sector Shoreplan has
been involved with the public consultation and approvals process for this project and they can
provide consistency and efficiency in incorporating information developed under the previous
assignments This work will enable the Authority to obtain all approvals for the entire project in
a timely manner
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The Consultant will complete the final engineering design and provide detailed construction
drawings for the Phase /I work, that is, the sector from Chesterton Shores extending easterly to
Rouge River In addition, the consultant will assist with the design of the coastal components

ARCHAEOLOGY SERVICES
Selection of a marine archaeologist to undertake a marine archaeological
survey for the Port Union Waterfront Improvements Project.
Moved by Lorna Bissell
Seconded by Michael Oi Biase
That McQuest Marine Science Limited be retained to undertake a marine archaeological
survey for the Port Union Waterfront Improvements Project at an upset limit of $15,000
plus GST CARRIED
878
BACKGROUND
At its meeting #5/97 dated June 27, 1997, the Authority approved the Port Union Waterfront
Improvements Project. Since that time the Authority has prepared an Environmental
Assessment for the Project. The Port Union Environmental Assessment document was subject
to a provincial and federal environmental assessment process. All stakeholders and relevant
agencies were requested to provide comments on the adequacy of the Port Union
Environmental Assessment document and propose possible Terms and Conditions for which
the Project would be approved The Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation stated that
they were satisfied with the Environmental Assessment document specifically the commitments
made by the TRCA to undertake a cultural heritage resource assessment of areas to be
impacted by this project, and to the mitigation of adverse impacts to any cultural heritage
resources that are identified This assessment must be undertaken prior to construction taking
place along the Port Union waterfront. Due to the historic significance of the Port Union
community, efforts have been made to include background historical research regarding this
community and attempts to identify and document any surviving land or marine features of this
historic community (eg buildings, docks, shipwrecks) Staff have met with Ministry staff to
further delineate a boundary for the cultural heritage resource assessment focussing
specifically on the area where the wharf was located
At the time of the Request for Proposals there was only one qualified marine archaeologist in
the province, therefore the TRCA did not undertake to provide three bids as is normal
procedure for a fee of this amount.
McQuest Marine Sciences Limited will be undertaking a remote sensing survey and a side scan
sonar of the Port Union area. The marine archaeology study would include underwater divers
to ground truth any targets found using the remote sensing or side scan A bottom visual
survey would also be undertaken An underwater archaeologist will assist with the data
interpretation to identify any artifacts McQuest will also have a marine historian undertake an
investigation of heritage resources near the old Johns Manville water intake structure. McQuest
Marine Sciences Limited will work with the TRCA Archaeologist and the Coastal Ecology Unit
to minimize expenses during the investigation

RES.#B213/00 - LAMBTON GOLF CLUB
Naturalization and Relocation of Black Creek Channel Award of Phase
Two of a study related to the naturalization of the Black Creek Channel
and providing stormwater quality improvements to flows on the Black
Creek within the Lambton Golf Club
879
Moved by Michael Di Biase
Seconded by Joan King
THAT the firm of Dillon Consulting Ltd. be awarded Phase Two of the naturalization and
water quality study, at an upset cost of $20,485, plus applicable taxes.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At meeting #5, 2000, held on June 2, 2000, the Executive Committee adopted Resolution
#B87/90
"THA T the firm of Dillon Consulting Ltd be awarded Phase One of the naturalization and
water quality study, at an upset cost of $16,610 plus applicable taxes on the basis that the
Lambton Golf Club has committed to the additional costs associated with the Dillon
proposal"
The Phase One study investigated the feasibility of removing the concrete channel and
providing stormwater quality to the Black Creek flows prior to entering the Humber River within
the Lambton Golf course. The original motivation for undertaking this study came from the
Golf Course which is interested in removing the concrete channel and replacing it with a softer
more natural watercourse feature, to improve the aesthetics and playability of their course. The
existing concrete channel is owned and maintained by the Authority as part of flood control
works constructed in the early 1960's The channel is located within a permanent easement
through the Lambton Golf Course. The Authority in conjunction with the City of Toronto
agreed to undertake the study in three phases with the understanding that our design
concerns related to flooding and water quality were forefront in the process
In the consultant selection process, all members of the Study team, which included, the City of
Toronto, Black Creek Project, Lambton Golf Club and the TRCA ranked Dillon Consulting first.
The significant overall cost differences between Dillon's proposal and that of Marshall Macklin
Monaghan Ltd (MMM Ltd) led us to originally select MMM Ltd as the consultant to be
awarded the study contract for phase one. The Lambton Golf course expressed concern
related to this selection and in fact at their Board of Directors Meeting, held May 29, 2000
agreed to put forward funds to cover the difference in price between the consultants
The first phase of the study looked at the feasibility of removing the concrete while maintaining
the hydraulic benefits and the playability of the course. Numerous study team meetings were
held to ensure that all parties involved in this study were aware of the consequences of the
options being investigated The general findings were that the width of the flood channel
through the course would need to triple in size to accommodate the hydraulics and several
areas of the course would require modifications due to this wider channel In addition a large
area of currently unused lands was investigated to provide water quality ponding for Black
Creek flows and potentially to act as a source of water for use within the golf course.
The findings of the first phase of the study were discussed with representatives of the course
who subsequently brought them forward to the Board of Directors at a meeting held November
27, 2000 for discussion In a letter dated December 22,2000, the Lambton Golf and Country
Club informed the Authority of its request that we proceed to Phase Two of the study based
upon the Boards discussion and resolution This request is a recognition of the overall
changes to the course that would be required with the removal of the concrete channel and a
880
willingness to move the study forward to investigate options to undertake these works
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The financing of this study will be split between the City of Toronto and the Authority, with the
Lambton Golf Club paying for the difference in overall study costs above the low bid costs for
each phase. The City of Toronto and the Authority agreed to an upset cost of $ 30,000 each
The total estimated cost of the study, to be done in 3 phases, based on the Dillon proposal is
$55,685 The cost is $16,500 higher than the lowest cost proposal submitted by Marshall
Macklin Monaghan It is, therefore, estimated that the Lambton Golf Club will contribute
$16,500 over the entire three phases of the study as noted below
Dillon Consulting Phase One $16,610
Phase Two $20,485
Phase Three $18,590
Total Cost: $55,685 + Taxes
The funds from the City of Toronto have been approved through City Council and transferred
to the Authority The Authority's share along with the City funds are available in account
113-35 The Authority will invoice the Lambton Golf Club for their share of the costs for each
phase.
At this point, the study is addressing the technical aspects of removing the concrete channel
and does not deal with any funding arrangements related to the capital funds required to
undertake the works Once any design and technical feasibility aspects have been dealt with,
discussions related to capital funding will be required

Moved by Michael Di Biase
Seconded by Joan King
THAT the firm of Aquafor Beech Limited be retained to complete the designs for the
mitigation of seven in stream barriers on East Highland Creek in Morningside Park at a
total cost of $22,000 (excluding G.S T)
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The City of Toronto has numerous sanitary sewers and watermains crossing watercourses in
the TRCA's jurisdiction, including East Highland Creek At the time of construction,
armourstone drop structures were built to protect the sanitary sewers and watermains from the
erosional forces of the river Over time, down cutting of the stream bed has led to the exposure
of some sanitary sewers within Morningside Park and concerns others will soon be exposed

Waterfront Linear Park Study with resolution #A 119/99'

Terms of Reference for an environmental assessment to be completed for this project.
Through the preparation of the Environmental Assessment Terms of Reference, four design
options have been developed To assist in the evaluation of each of these design options a
coastal analysis must be undertaken
The work program for this study will be divided into two phases. Phase I will be comprised of
the coastal analysis and preparation of a study design report summarizing the technical
evaluation of the four concept options for the shoreline improvements This report will assist
the Authority in the preparation of an environmental assessment. Upon receiving
Environmental Assessment approval, Phase II will include detailed design of the preferred
concept for the shoreline works
A Request for Proposal was sent out to two consulting firms, with an upset limit of $70,000
The firms invited to submit proposals are Shoreplan Engineering Ltd. and W F Baird and
Associates Coastal Engineers Ltd. Currently there are only two known coastal consulting firms
available with the expertise for this scope of work. Staff have reviewed each proposal and have
evaluated the proposals against the criteria established in the Request for Proposals
Shoreplan Engineering Limited $ 66,000 (excluding GST)
W F Baird and Associates Coastal Engineers Ltd $ 70,029 (excluding GST)
Landscape design is also required for the Mimico Waterfront Linear Park. Paul Cosburn
Associates Limited was retained by the Authority to produce preliminary landscape design
options to assist with the public consultation and preparation of the Environmental Assessment
Terms of Reference. Four design options were presented to the many stakeholders and
members of the public and it was agreed that the four design options represented the range
and scale of options appropriate to the Mimico Waterfront.

award contract to Novita Interpares Limited for assistance in the
development of a program implementation plan for Black Creek Pioneer

Moved by Lorna Bissell
Seconded by Michael Di Biase
THAT staff be authorized and directed to enter into a contract with Novita Interpares
Limited for development of a program implementation plan for Black Creek Pioneer
Village and the new Events Pavilion, at a fee not exceed $8,800 plus GST
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Authority has approved a new strategic direction for Black Creek Pioneer Village (BCPV)
and secured capital funding from the City of Toronto to assist in restoration of the Village and
creation of a new events pavilion In 2000, the Authority approved the hiring of the team of
architect and engineering consultants needed for project implementation Part of that team
was the firm, Novita Interpares Limited, who provided expert assistance with respect to the
performance related aspects of the new events pavilion, lighting, sound, electrical needs
associated with presentation, theatrical and musical uses of the new facility
886
In addition, staff secured the services of Novita to prepare a feasibility plan describing the
potential financial implications of event programming for the Village when the new business
strategy and the new events pavilion were in place. This report offered several programming
models including the costs and benefits
RATIONALE
Staff has solicited a proposal from Novita to assist in the completion of a program
implementation plan through to the end of the 2002 BCPV operating season 2002 will be the
first year of the new events pavilion so it is critical in 2001 that a successful programming plan
be prepared Novita has excellent experience in the cultural events community and can
provide the needed expertise to assist staff in finalizing the multi-year BCPV Business Plan
Because they were part of the design team for the events pavilion, they have a strong working
knowledge of the BCPV business strategy minimizing the learning process Time is of the
essence as the business strategy must be in place in time for the 2001 budget approval Staff
is seeking approval of the Executive Committee as required by the Purchasing Policy

Seconded by Michael Di Biase
THAT staff be authorized and directed to complete the sale of the Authority's printing
press to Cam's Printing, Saskatoon, in the amount of $14,000, subject to terms and
conditions acceptable to the Authority
CARRIED
RATIONALE
The Authority's Policies and Procedures for the Disposal of Goods and Services and Disposal
of Equipment, section 4 3, requires Executive Committee approval of disposal of equipment
valued in excess of $10,000
As a result of the pending retirement of the Authority's Printer, a review of the printing operation
was undertaken It has been decided that it is more cost effective to contract out the printing
work being done on the Authority's printing press The printing needs of the Authority have
changed requiring a level of quality which cannot be achieved without major investment in new
equipment. Also, there is some doubt as to the ability of TRCA to attract an individual with the
required skill set to continue the printing function As a result, the printing press has been
declared surplus
887
The Print Room Supervisor after consultation with various suppliers, determined that a used
press of this type would be worth between $15,000 and $17,000 Staff has advertised its
availability among various printing companies The best offer received is from Cam's Printing
in Saskatoon They have agreed to pay $14,000 for the press in "as is" condition with no
warranty, plus all costs of removal and shipping Staff recommend acceptance of this offer -'
