A15 AUTHORITY MEETING #2/96, March 29, 1996
BACKGROUND
At Executive Meeting #1/96 held on March 8, 1996, the following was adopted by Resolution
#E10/96:
"THA T the staff report regarding potential disposal by sale or lease of certain
Authority-owned table lands east of Is/ington Avenue, in the vicinity of Rutherford
Road in the City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, dated February 29,
1996, be received;
AND FURTHER THA T the Chair meet with staff to develop a course of action
regarding the potential disposition of the subject lands and a process for developing
an overall strategy regarding the disposal/lease of Authority-owned lands. "
A. Acauisition of Land
In response to the devastation of Hurricane Hazel and the need to protect against a repeat of the
loss of life and property damage suffered, the first task of Metro Region Conservation was to
develop a flood control plan. The Authority completed the Plan for Flood Control and Water
Conservation in 1959. It received approval of the federal and provincial governments in 1961,
along with a required Plan for Ancillary Conservation Measures.
The thrust of the Flood Control Plan was to provide for protection and prevention through a
combination of:
* construction of remedial measures including 13 dams and reservoirs;
* acquisition of hazard and conservation lands; and
* adoption and administration of regulations to ensure new development is not at risk.
Acquisition of lard for the proposed dams and reservoirs included not only the valley and stream
corridor but sufficient lands to provide a buffer to these facilities and to incorporate the ancillary
measures required under The Canada Water Conservation Assistance Act (1952-53). The required
ancillary measures included reforestation, wildlife management, soil conservation and the
development of recreation and nature study facilities.
Over time, our structural approach to dealing with flood risk has changed from large upstream dams
to more site specific flood control works. We have also placed an emphasis on prevention through
development control, regulations and valley acquisition.
Although the new approach to flood control did not contemplate the construction of the dams and
reservoirs as originally intended, the 1980 Watershed Plan adopted by the Authority, identified the
desirability of retaining the lands purchased for these large projects. The rationale being that there
may be a future flood control or other water management or open space use for these lands. At
the same time, the programs of acquisition and regulation of hazard lands were reconfirmed as
effective preventative techniques and have been a major component of our watershed management
work since that time.
Because of the importance of our acquisition program to all aspects of the Authority's work and
because of the increasing land costs , it was recognized that the Authority must clearly define the
types of lands that it should be acquiring to achieve its objectives. As a result, in the 1989
Greenspace Strategy, and subsequent Acquisition Projects, we have defined those lands that would
form the greenspace system as including:
AUTHORITY MEETING #2/96, March 29, 1996 A16
* valley and stream corridors
* the Lake Ontario waterfront
* Environmentally significant areas
* Provincial wetlands (Classes 1 - 7)
* kettle lakes
* ground water discharge areas
* significant woodlotlvegetationlhabitat linkages
* Carolinian Forest
* riparian habitat zones
* flood control, erosion and reservoir project lands
* Niagara Escarpment park extensions
* links for the regional trail system
* lands identified by the Authority in cooperation with its member municipalities and/or the
Province of Ontario as complementary to the Greenspace system.
In the acquisition of lands for Greenspace or specific project purposes, the Authority has, in specific
instances, needed to acquire entire holdings, including lands beyond its basic requirements, to
achieve its objectives in a cost effective and timely manner.
B. Identification and DisDosal of Sumlus Land
From time to time, the Authority has been requested to consider the sale or lease of its lands or
based on our own internal reviews, we have identified the potential.for disposal. In order to deal
with these requests and to ensure an open and consultative process for the determination,
declaration and disposal of a particular surplus parcel, the Authority adopted a Land Disposal Policy
in 1994. The Policy which is attached at the end of this report has guided the declaration and
disposal of surplus lands since that time.
Besides complying with provincial land disposal policies and procedures, which are built into the
current Authority land disposal policy, the Authority is also required to comply with the Provincial
Revenue Sharing Policy. Acquisitions were traditionally funded 50% by the province. Under the
policy which was first implemented in December 1983 and most recently updated and reaffirmed
by the Provincial Treasury Board in March 1992, conservation authorities have the opportunity of
seeking provincial approval to utilize the entire share of the land sale revenue to undertake
provincially approved capital projects.
While the updated provincial policy allowed the Authority to request Treasury Board approval to use
land sale revenues for other than the acquisition of lands, Provincial staff has, since 1992,
discouraged us from requesting approvals for other than high priority land acquisition. It is
assumed therefore, that approval for using the provincial share of the land sale revenues for such
things as administrative or operating expenses would not have been forthcoming. It would also
appear that these restrictions will continue and therefore the sale of lands should not be perceived
as a mechanism for replacing operating dollars.
A17 AUTHORITY MEETING #2/96, March 29, 1996
The Authority has been successful during the past 10 years in obtaining substantial municipal and
provincial funding for special projects such as The Metropolitan Toronto Hazard Land Acquisition
Project and the current Motel Strip Project. However, the more general acquisition of Greenspace
lands during this period has relied on funding from Authority land sales or monies raised from
private and corporate donations. The breakdown of funding from these sources for the period
1986 to 1995, inclusive, is shown on chart 1 and on the attached pie chart.

Over time, the Authority has disposed of higher valued and higher taxed tablelands to purchase
core Greenspace land. Key environmental properties are being acquired while small surplus parcels
are being disposed of on a strategic, financially sound and timely basis. Chart 2 illustrates the
steady increase in Authority land ownership over the years.

Chart 3 summarizes the acquisitions and sales carried out in 1995. Some 200 acres of Greenspace
lands were acquired with the assistance of revenue from the sale of less than 20 acres of tableland
deemed surplus to the Authority's Greenspace requirements. The most significant acquisition
during 1995 funded with land sale revenue was the 68 acre Kleinburg Hills Estates property, in the
City of Vaughan, Humber River Watershed. The most significant land sale was the 15 acre surplus
tableland parcel, in the City of Vaughan, to the York Region School Board.

Given the Authority's current financial situation, the fact that funds for an acquisition program will
not be available from public sources for some time to come and concerns have been expressed
about the sale of lands to fund short term needs at the expense of longer term open space needs, it
is recommended: ,
THAT staff prepare a review of the Authority's overall financial situation and the role that land
deemed surplus to Greenspace requirements might play during 1996 and future years; and;
THAT staff report to the Authority at the earliest possible date with an proposed strategy.
C. Immediate Needs
The Authority's Greenspace System was established with vision and determination. It now
represents the basis of the green infrastructure for the Toronto area and surrounding regions. This
green infrastructure is one of the significant dimensions of the quality of life in our area and is
renowned worldwide. While much has been accomplished, it is essential that the Authority have
the flexibility to acquire key parcels, as opportunities present themselves.
While the relationship between our overall financial situation and the disposal of land will be
reviewed in a further report to be prepared by staff, there is an immediate need to proceed with the
sale or lease of certain of the lands that have already been declared surplus or are in the process of
being considered as surplus, to meet current acquisition commitments.
Our immediate needs are listed on Chart 4.

D. The Lands at Boyd
As a part of the original Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation six dams and reservoirs
were proposed on the Humber River at:
West Branch
1. Claireville
2. Ebenezer
Main Branch
3. Lower Bolton
4. Nashville
East Branch
5. King Creek
6. Lower East Branch (Boyd).
The Claireville Dam and Reservoir was the only one of the six Humber structures to be built.
The lands referred to as parcels" A" and "B" (see attached map), proposed for consideration as
surplus in the Boyd Area, are lands acquired for the building of the Boyd Dam and Reservoir. The
land referred to as parcel "C" was acquired as part of the Boyd Conservation Area.
At Authority Meeting #11/95, held December 15, 1995, Resolution #A278/95 was adopted:
"THA T the potential disposal or long term leasing of certain parcels of Authority-owned land
on the east side of Islington Avenue, in the vicinity of Rutherford Road, in the City of
Vaughan, be referred to the Authority staff for review, in accordance with established
Authority policies;
AND FURTHER THA T a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future
date recommending further action. n
The Authority, in this instance, received requests from the owner of an established children's
private school and the representatives of a religious order, to consider selling or leasing Authority
lands in the Boyd area. The parcels being reviewed are described as follows and can be found on
the attached map.
Parcel 'A': Located on the east side of Islington Avenue, north of Rutherford Road,
being Part of Lots 16, 17 and 18, Concession 7, City of Vaughan, Regional
Municipality of York, containing approximately 75 acres of vacant table
land. Acquired as part of the Boyd Dam and Reservoir project.
Parcel'B': Located on the east side of Islington Avenue south of Rutherford Road,
being Part of Lot 15, Concession 7, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality
of York, containing approximately 10-15 acres of vacant table land.
Acquired as part of the Boyd Dam and Reservoir project.
Parcel 'C': Located on the east side of the Islington Avenue, at the entrance to Boyd
Conservation Area, being Part of Lots 12 and 13, Concession 7, City of
Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, containing approximately 10 acres
of table land. Acquired as part of the Boyd Conservation Area.

BOYD LANDS (j)
AUTHORITY MEETING #2/96, March 29, 1996 A24
According to the Authority's policies for Surplus Land Sales, a detailed technical review was carried
out. This review identified the boundaries of the valley corridor; determined whether there were
any significant natural features or environmental resources; and considered whether the lands met
the criteria established for the acquisition of Greenspace land. Staff concluded that portions of
parcels "A" and "B" could be considered for designation as surplus land.
Because parcel "c" forms a part of the Boyd Conservation Area, its disposal would disrupt the
public's use of the park as well as affecting our use of the Authority's Boyd Workshop. It was
staff's conclusion therefore, that parcel "c" should not be considered as surplus to our needs.
Based on this review, the next steps in the Authority's policy have been taken to date with respect
to Parcels "A" and "B":
. comments from the City of Vaughan and the Region of York were requested
. signs were installed on the subject lands on February 19, 1996 inviting public
comment;
. notices of public information sessions were sent to the City of Vaughan and the Regional
Municipality of York Planning Departments, Regional Councillor Di Biase, City Councillor
Corella, Mayor Lorna Jackson, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Ministry of Natural
Resources, as well as all prospective proponents and the members of the public who have
called for information;
. notice of the Public Information Session and requests for public comment were
placed in the Toronto Star and the Richmond HillNaughan/Thornhill Liberal on
February 28, 1996;
. a Public Information Session was held on March 6, 1996, at the West Vaughan
Community Centre during the hours of 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Authority staff
including representatives from the Property and Administrative Services Section and
the Facilities and Operation Division were on hand throughout the Public Information
Session;
. members of the public were invited to attend the Executive Committee at the
meeting held on March 8, 1996 to make submissions or comments.
Based on the request for comments and the public session, the following correspondence and
comments were received:
1 ) Regional Municipality of York - Received a letter dated February 16, 1996, advising that the
only concern of the Region of York is that there may be a requirement for certain road
widenings in the area at some future date. (It would appear that Parcel "B" is not affected.
However, staff will again consult with Region staff before finalizing any sale or lease as to
specific boundaries.)
2) The City of Vaughan council on February 26, 1996 adopted the following resolution:
"That the fol/owing comment be forwarded to the Metropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority (M. T.R.C.A.l In response to its request for
input regarding the proposed disposal of Authority land in the vicinity of
Rutherford Road and Is/ington Avenue in the City of Vaughan.
A25 AUTHORITY MEETING #2/96, March 29, 1996
The City of Vaughan requests the M. T.R. C.A. to consider the following in making its
determination as to the sale/lease of any of its surplus. tableland on the east side of
Islington A venue in the vicinity of Rutherford Road:
- that the Authority be cognizant and give recognition to the City of Vaughan
Land Use Plans of/for the areas contemplated for sale or long-term lease
recognizing that the City's planning strategy in this area has been based on
the assumption that the conservation area and open space along the east
side of Islington is a long-term use;
- that conditions be put in place that the final use of any lands ultimately sold
or leased be compatible to the community and educational uses reflected by
current public ownerships in the area; and
- that no commitment to development of any disposed surplus land be given
without consultation with the City to ensure that all technical considerations
are consistent with the Municipality's land development (site plan) criteria.
3) Letter dated February 29, 1996 received from Jim Streb President of York University Staff
Association objecting to the sale or lease of any of the subject lands.
4) At the Executive Committee Meeting held on March 8, 1996 two delegations appeared,
both speaking in favour of the lands being made available for sale or lease.
5) A number of calls were received from the public and visitors to the Open House. All callers
and visitors at the Open House expressed support for the proposed sale or leasing of the
lands.
Based on these comments and the discussion at the last Executive Committee meeting, staff has
the following comments to make:
Parcel "A" This parcel contains a large area of tableland which may no longer be necessary to
any future reservoir requirements. This holding while situated immediately north of
lands earlier disposed of to the Separate School Board, is close to current Authority
operations including the Boyd Education Field Centre, the current tree nursery and
the Authority Central Services Headquarters. The City of Vaughan Official Plan
Amendment #400, as recently approved, provides for substantial residential
development on the west side of Islington Avenue in this area. While there are no
municipal services north of Rutherford Road, at this time, it is anticipated that full
municipal services will be available in the future.
Given the size of this property and to allow staff additional time to review the long
term Authority operational needs, if any, at this location and the recommended
review of the relationship between our current financial situation and the role that
the sale of lands should play in 1996 and the future, it is recommended that the
question of whether to declare this parcel surplus at this time be referred back to
staff for additional review.
Parcel uB" Three similar land transactions have already taken place within the vicinity of this
parcel (see attached map):
1. the City of Vaughan for a community centre
2. the York Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board
3. the York Region Board of Education.
AUTHORITY MEETING #2/96, March 29, 1996 A26
The three previous transactions, including two immediately adjacent to parcel "B", indicate
that this area is not now considered critical to the integrity of any revised flood control
project within the valley area or required for any future operations of the Boyd Park.
The comments received from the Region of York and the City of Vaughan
regarding the potential disposal of this parcel were both positive as detailed above.
The results of the public open house held in the community were also
positive.
This area has municipal services and would be readily developable.
Given the municipal and community support for the disposal of this parcel and
the previous adjacent sales, it is staff's position that this parcel can be considered
surplus to our needs at this time.
Recommendations:
1 ) THAT the consideration of whether any of the lands included in the tableland parcel situate
on the east side of Islington Avenue, north of Rutherford Road identified as Parcel "A",
being Part of Lots 16, 17 and 18, Concession 7, in the City of Vaughan, Regional
Municipality of York, containing approximately 75 acres, are to be declared surplus,~
deferred Dending the results of the overall review.
2) THAT the parcel of Authority owned table land on the east side of Islington Avenue, south
of Rutherford Road, identified as Parcel "B", being part of Lot 15, Concession 7, City of
Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, containing approximately 1 0 to 15 acres of vacant
table land be declared surolus to the future requirements of the Authority subject to:
(a) all existing Municipal requirements for future use of this part of Lot 15,
Concession 7, City of Vaughan, being met.
(b) The proposed use is to be of a nature compatible with the Authority's objectives
and to not negatively affect the Authority's adjacent holdings.
(c) A vegetated buffer of not less than 10 metres is to be established to the
satisfaction of the Authority on lands to be retained by the Authority.
(d) Storm water management practices are to be carried out on the site to the
satisfaction of the Authority.
(e) Fencing along the new property boundary is to be carried out to the satisfaction of
the ~uthority at no cost to the Authority.
(f) An archaeological investigation is to be conducted before any site disturbance with
any mitigative measures required being carried out at no cost to the Authority.
THAT the availability of Parcel "B" be advertised publicly for sale or lease to obtain the
maximum possible potential financial return for the property and in no event less than the
current market value or in conflict with Authority objectives.
A27 AUTHORITY MEETING #2/96, March 29, 1996
3) THAT the parcel of tableland situate on the east side of Islington Avenue at the entrance to
Boyd Conservation Area identified as Parcel "C", being Part of Lots 12 and 13, Concession
7, in the City of Vaughan, containing approximately 10 acres of tableland, not be
considered surolus.

Res. #26/91 stated:
THA T parcels of Authority-owned land proposed to be sold, or otherwise disposed
of, for other than road widenings, other routine public purposes, at nominal
consideration, be first brought to the attention of the Executive Committee and
processed in the following manner:
(a) A detailed technical review is to be carried out by the Authority's technical
staff. Appropriate terms and conditions are to be prepared by the technical
staff dealing with any technical concerns, including potential impact or
mitigation requirements relating to remaining Authority holdings;
(b) The proposed disposition is to be circulated to the local and regional
municipalities;
(c) All sales are to be at market value, with agreements to include provisions for
all Authority objectives to be met.
THA T, in those instances where the land proposed to be disposed of is of
significance, other than small fragments offered to abutting owners in exchanges of
land, minor sales or resolution of encroachment problems, the following additional
steps be taken:
(1) the Authority's intention to consider disposal of the lands be duly publicized,
including adequate newspaper publication in at least one local and one
major Toronto region newspaper;
(2) at least one public open house information session be held in the vicinity of
where the lands proposed to be disposed of are situate; and
(3) the general public and any other interested parties be invited to make
submissions, either verbal or written, to the Executive Committee prior to a
final recommendation being made with respect to disposal;
Components of the criteria considered in establishing the current policy include:
(a) Requirement of the Authority to become more public with respect to land
disposal;
(b) Requirement to comply with the provisions of Section 21 (C) of The
Conservation Authorities Act and to adhere to the policies contained in the
Policy and Procedures Manual for Conservation Authorities, prepared by the
Ministry of Natural Resources;
AUTHORITY MEETING #2/96, March 29, 1996 A30
APPENDIX 1 CONT'D
(c) Requirement of the Authority in a number of instances when acquiring lands for
conservation purposes, to acquire the entire holding when only a portion is
necessary for Authority purposes;
(d) Requirement to obtain market value;
(e) Provide flexibility to deal with potential significant revenue sources through a public
process in a manner so as to achieve the highest reasonable return possible;
(f) Utilizing established disposal processes including public tender, listings with real
estate firms on multiple listing services, real estate firms on a broker protected
basis, direct marketing, negotiations, etc.;
(g) Utilizing the market value concept being the amount of money a willing buyer will
pay a willing seller in the open market. While a property may be zoned for
residential use, it may have potential to be used for a higher order of use. The
market value concept provides an opportunity for a property's value to reflect a
speculative price based on the property's potential, while still taking into
consideration any Authority constraints;
(h) In instances where non-viable or land locked parcels are involved, market value may
be limited.
AMENDMENT
Res. #A290/94
THAT clause (d) and (h).... be combined to read:
(d) Requirement to obtain market value, however, in instances where no-viable or land
locked parcels are involved, market value may be limited.

KEY ISSUE
Approval to enter into licence agreements for third party display boards on Authority lands.
BACKGROUND
This item was referred to staff for review at Authority Meeting #13/95, held February 23, 1996,
Resolution #A337/95, states:
"THA T this item be referred back to staff for further review and brought
back to the Full Authority at a later date."
Staff will be giving a slide presentation to the Members of the Authority, showing the individual
sign locations.
Due to recent changes in the City of Vaughan sign By-laws, Authority staff were approached by
outdoor advertising agencies regarding the placement of third party signage on our lands. Until
now such signs were not permitted in Vaughan although they have been allowed in most other
municipalities.
While investigating the financial potential of these signs, staff contacted six outdoor advertising
companies to determine the level of market interest. Two companies responded, and staff, working
with them, identified six sites that met Authority conditions including:
A33 AUTHORITY MEETING #2/96, March 29, 1996
. no negative environmental impacts
. full compliance with all MTRCA regulations and the Valley and Stream guidelines
. no impact on current programming
. easi,ly accessible for maintenance and construction purposes
The companies have also shown their willingness to structure licence agreements that specify
. full compliance with all City of Vaughan regulations; these would be identified by the
proponent through the permitting process.
. removal of the sign, for any reason, on 30 days notice
. removal of any advertisements not in keeping with the Authority's moral or ethical principles
. that the companies pay all costs associated with the installation or maintenance of the sign
and provide the required access to the site
. that the companies pay all permit fees, utilities, taxes or other costs that might be incurred
because of the sign
. no Authority involvement with permit or zoning applications, other than signing the necessary
applications
. that the company will indemnify the Authority and provide the Authority with suitable
insurance coverage
. that the licence agreement will be for a one year term
The By-law calls for permits to be issued by the City for a limited number of signs. Vaughan
council passed the changes on January 17, 1996 and applications are currently being accepted.
The proposed signs are illuminated 10' x 20', single pole billboards which would be located near
major roads in Vaughan.
The bids that have been received from Gould and Mediacom are summarized below:
Mediacom
. $4,000 per face + GST. ($8,000 for a two faced sign)
. Cancellation on 30 days notice
. Removal of advertising material at our discretion.
. Option to book advertising space on any of Mediacom's 2000 faces in the GTA at the rate of
$500 per face (plus production costs) for a four week period. This is a reduction of
approximately 45% under standard rates.
Gould
. $3,000 per face + GST. ($6,000 for a two faced sign)
. Cancellation on 30 days notice
. Removal of advertising material at our discretion.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Each two-sided sign would bring in $8,000 of rental income per year. If all six sites are rented then
yearly income will be $48,000.

Father Claudio Moser - in Trust
Rili Construction Weston Limited
Little Hampton Holding Corp.
Mr. and Mrs. William R. Fach

Net Price $2,100,000 $1,125,000 $1,090,237 $1,050,000 $826,500 $138,000
Details on the process utilized for advertising the availability of the land were outlined in item # 4 in the
Executive Committee Minutes from meeting #3/96.
Except for the offer received from Father Claudio Moser - In Trust, all offers were submitted on the
Authority's standard form. Mr. and Mrs. Fach and Rili Construction Ltd. made no changes to the offer
and the other three proponents made minor amendments to the document.
,
Copies of the offers received are appended for the information of the members. The Authority's
solicitor Robert Rossow of Gardiner, Roberts Barristers and Solicitors reviewed the highest three offers
and his comments are outlined in the attached letter dated May 13, 1996.
During March the Authority engaged Royal LePage to carry out a valuation. Royal LePage has prepared
a draft valuation of the subject property and has indicated that the Market Value is $2,625,000 for the
15 acre parcel of land declared surplus by the Authority.
Provincial guidelines are that the sale price should be at market value. The highest bid of $ 2.1 million
is substantially less than the appraised value. Accordingly, staff recommend that all offers and
deposits received be returned and the negotiations continue until an acceptable offer is at hand.
Certain of the proponents along with others who have contacted the Authority since the closing date
for the offer appear willing to continue discussions to attempt to negotiate an arrangement acceptable
to the Authority.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
It is proposed that the funds generated from the sale or lease of this surplus land be utilized to assist in
funding high priority Authority activities.

Attention: Don Prince
Dear Sirs:
RE: MTRCA Sale of Surplus Lands - Islington Avenue and Rutberford Road
Our File No. 61.095
As requested I have reviewed the Agreements of Purcbasc and Sale that you forwarded to me
on May 10 and below arc my comments on the three highest bids. I should point out at the
outset that the value of the land is beyond the scope of my expertise and as usual I would expect
that the Authority would be obtaining independent appraisal information from a qualified propeny
appraiser.
1. SAM FRUSTAGUO IN TRUST
This offer is the highest and is also the most straightforward. It follows the standard form
that we had prepared with certain amendments that I do not consider significant. They
have also added a number of clauses that should not be of concern to us; the most
imponant of which is paragraph ll(b) on Page 2A which basically gives the purchaser
20 business days to satisfy itself as to the condition of the propeny and the intended use.
lbis does not appear to be unreasonable to me and assuming the purchaser has the
financial wherewithal to complete the transaction this offer, beside being the highest in
terms of price is also the cleanest in terms of the offer.
2. FIELD GATE DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUcnON LTD., IN TRUST
This offer approximately $1,000,000 less than the first offer and again the changes that
it has made to the agreement are relatively minor, and subject to my comments below
should not be of concern to us:
(a) The description of the propeny excludes the "pond area outlined in blue".
Unfortunately, my copy is a fax copy and [ am unable to determine if the area
outlined in blue is within the 15 acres and what the acreage of that area is.
Obviously this could impact adversely on the purchase price.
AUTHORITY MEETING #4/96, May 31, 1996 A78
GARDINER, ROBERTS .,
-.
(b) Our standard agreement contained fairly broad restriction on use which has been
deleted in its entirety and while perhaps the purcbasets elim;nation of this clause
is understandable I would think that it could be handled in a fashion that would
still protect the Authority.s interest without the restriction being deleted in its
entirety .
(c) Schedule A, paragraph l1(a) requires a daylight casement over certain adjoining
land owned by you and in paragraph ll(b) there is an casement required to the
pond for storm water management pUIpOSCS. I do not have enough particulars on
this but I suspect that these arc not matters of significance.
With both of the foregoing off CIS there arc some minor corrections that I would like to
see made but they are not of such natUre that would lead me to believe that either of the
bidders would object to them.
3. FATHER CLAUDIO MOSER, IN TRUsr
This offer is also at the same price as the price offered by Fieldgare however, there are
a great many conditions and guarantees imposed which would make me reluctant to
accept the offer as submitted. The most salient of the concerns I have arc as follows:
(a) By paragraph 2(b) if a soil test reveals unsatisfactory conditions, the Purchaser has
the right to terminate the transaction, which is not unusual, however it goes on to
provide that the Vendor will pay all legal, appraisal, consulting, architeaural and
other fees incurred in connection with the planning. negotiations and municipal
and other approvals.
(b) The Purchaser also reserves the right, even if the testing results arc unsatisfactory
to complete the tranSaction and require you to meet all standards required which
means the costs of remedial work would be undenaken by you in accordance with
a remediation plan acceptable to the Purchaser. .
(c) There arc a whole host of warnmties and representations requested of you with
regards to the environmental condition of the property and if given and found not
to be true, the Purchaser has the right to complete the tranSaction and hold you
responsible for all damages as a result of these representations and warranties not
being true.
As I have mentioned to you, I think these clauses are quite unreasonable and should be
replaced by a simple condition giving the Purchaser a stipulated amount of time to do
whatever tests it wishes and at the end of that time the Purchaser will accept the property
as is or at its option terminate the transaction and receive back its deposit.
AUTHORITY MEETING #4/96, May 31,1996
A79
GARDINER, ROBERTS 3.
(d) By paragraph 7 of the agreement the Purchaser seems to contemplate that it will
be entitled to enter the propcny and commence CODStIUaion prior to the closing
date and I do not believe that this is acceptable.
(e) In addition paragraph 8 allows the Purchaser to make requisitions almost up to the
closing date and again this is not acceptable.
(f) Paragraph 18 provides that the Purchaser is acquiring it to construct a mixed use
development which means by that paragraph anything the Purchaser considers
appropriate and this paragraph goes on to provide that the transaction is
conditional until the closing date and that all requirements of the Planning Act for
the proposed development will be satisfied, which, in effect, gives the Purchaser
a free option to the end of 1996.
(g) Paragraph 20 provides, if soil conditions are unsatisfactory and additional costs
will be incurred. then the Purchaser may at any time up to the closing terminate
the transaction.
(h) Paragraph 21 requires you to pay a finders fee of 3% of the purchase price
(approximately) which, with GST will be more than $35,000 which makes this
offer worth less than the preceding offer.
(i) Paragraph 25 contains a "right of first refusal" in favour of the Purchaser of your
lands to the southeast. Unfonunately, it seems to be more than a right of first
refusal in that it provides that if you are about to sell the lands the Purchaser will
have a right to negotiate and establish a purchase price and while there is
reference to appraisals there docs not appear to be any final mechanism for
determining the price and there is also a provision that the negotiations are to be
private and not conducted in a public form or process which would appear to
remove even arbitration. In addition, I have some trouble in understanding how
a public body could be expected to sell the lands other than through a public
process.
As you will gather from the foregoing, I would have difficulty in recommending that
consideration would be given to this offer in its present form.

I trust the foregoing will be of some assistance to you and if you have any questions, please do
not hesitate to give me a call. Thank you.

FOREST ENVIRONMENT ALL Y SIGNIFICANT AREA
Minor amendment to the agreement to allow for the completion of the donation of
property by Dr. J, Murray Speirs on the east side of Altona Road, south of Finch
Avenue, East in the Town of Pickering.
I
Moved by: Brian Harrison
Seconded by: Jim McMaster
THAT WHEREAS the Authority by Resolution #A25/95, adopted on February 24, 1995, as amended by
Resolution #A231/95, adopted on October 27, 1995 approved by way of a gift, the acquisition of lands
from Dr. J. Murray Speirs on certain terms and conditions and the Authority by Resolution #A160/95,
adopted on June 23, 1995, as amended by Resolution #A30/96, adopted on March 29, 1996 approved
of the Altona Forest Environmental Management Plan, on a basis compatible with the requirements set
out by Dr, J. Murray Speirs concerning the Ecological Reserve;
AND WHEREAS Dr. J. Murray Speirs is concerned that the Altona Forest Environmental Management
Plan will continue whether or not he resides on his adjoining lands and has requested that he or his
niece Rosemary Speirs have the right to require the Altona Forest Management Plan be maintained;
THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to execute the necessary
agreement and any ancillary documents incidental to this gift with Dr. J. Murray Speirs and Rosemary
Speirs. ........................,..............,..,....,.,..,......... CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The following documents will be available at the meeting should the Members wish to review them:
(a) Resolution #A25/95, adopted by the Members of the Authority at Authority Meeting
#1/95, held on February 24, 1995
(b) Resolution #A 160/95, adopted by the Members of the Authority at Meeting #5/95,
held on June 23, 1995
(c) Resolution #A231/95, adopted by the Members of the Authority at Meeting #9/95,
held on October 27, 1995
(d) Resolution #A30/96, adopted by the Members of the Authority at Meeting #2/96, held
on March 29, 1996 are attached.
(e) Copy of the agreement with Dr. J. Murray Speirs and Rosemary Speirs
While agreement in principle for Dr. J, Murray Speirs to donate a 2,8 hectare portion of his property
was obtained last year and substantial documentation was executed last fall, the transaction could not
formally be completed until the Provincial government granted approval. Order-In-Council #268/96,
approved and ordered by the Provincial government on February 14, 1996, has now been received.
ANALYSIS
In the process of arranging for completion of final documentation, the solicitors for Dr. J. Murray Speirs
have raised a concern over the effect of Bill 26 which was subsequently enacted as the Savings and
Restructuring Act 1996, In particular, Dr. Speirs thought that the Authority could be dissolved in
which event the interests of Dr. Speirs might not be protected, To protect his interests, Dr. Speirs'
solicitor has provided an agreement, which includes both Dr. Speirs and his niece Rosemary Speirs and
provided that the terms of the Restrictive Covenant and the Altona Forest Environmental Plan be
enforceable whether or not they reside on the adjoining land.
The Authority's solicitor has advised that the request of Dr, Speirs's solicitor in this instance is
reasonable. Dr. Speirs' solicitor has assured us that upon approval of the recommendation set out in
this report, this transaction will close immediately.

THA T 0.467 acres, more or less, be purchased from Trident Food and Chemical Enterprises Inc.
being part of CLS41183, designated as parts 3 & 4 on Plan 66R-17038, City of Etobicoke,
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, on the basis as set out below:
(a) That the purchase price be the nominal consideration of $2.00, plus payment of
Vendor's reasonable legal costs;
(b) In addition to the lands being conveyed, Trident Food and Chemical Enterprises Inc. is
to convey to the Authority all shoreline, littoral and riparian rights, as a part of this
transaction;
(c) The City of Etobicoke has passed By-law 1994/197, or any other by-law and such by-
law is no longer subject to appeal and that it permits, after any amendments, with
respect to the adjacent lands, zoning for at least 92 residential units, or if no such
zoning is given, the Authority shall have undertaken to transfer and provide in addition
to the number of residential units granted under the said By-law, a sufficient number of
such units so that the total number of such units allowed under the by-law and
undertaken to be transferred and provided by the Authority is not less than 92
residential units and all applicable by-laws, rules, regulations and guidelines shall have
been satisfied with respect to any transfer of units;
(d) If five additional residential units become available, at any time, as a result of other
owners in the secondary plan being awarded less residential units than provided in the

(1) THA T the owners lands will not be used as a parking lot except by persons using or
enjoying the Waterfront amenity areas which, in any event will not contain parking
spaces for more than six cars in total;
(2) THA T the owners lands will not have any building constructed thereon other than one-
storey buildings used in conjunction with the maintenance, use and enjoyment of the
Waterfront amenity areas, but in any event no parking structures will be permitted
thereon or commercial buildings except for snack food stands or the like.
THA T the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto be so advised;
THA T Gardiner, Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete this transaction at
the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land
transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to paid;
AND FURTHER THA T the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to execute

On February 28, 1996 the O,M,8, decision approving the Zoning by-law for the Motel Strip was handed
A129 AUTHORITY MEETING #4/96, May 31, 1996
down, substantially in the form approved by the City of Etobicoke, Upon receipt of this favourable
decision the Authority registered the Expropriation Plans. Subsequently the owners of Proudfoot Motels
Limited requested Leave to Appeal the decision of the O,M.B, on a matter of law. The Divisional Court
has now scheduled this matter to be heard on May 28/96,
The commencement of construction of the public amenity area is scheduled to begin during June 1996
to ensure the necessary filling for the land base is completed by the Authority during 1996 and early
1997 to allow the City of Etobicoke to undertake the servicing and road construction in 1997, being
carried out under the Federal/Provincial infrastructure program.
Prior to commencing construction all existing agreements with owners must be completed or be in a
form to ensure they can close. The original Trident Food and Chemical Enterprises Inc. transaction
allowed for conveyance of required land for nominal consideration subject to approval of a by-law
providing for 92 residential units and not subject to any further appeal. Since in this case the owner is
being compensated with residential units, the owner will not complete the transaction without a
guarantee of the units. However, the owner has agreed to an interim closing under which they will to
convey to the Authority a permanent easement for construction of the Public Amenity Area including
Waterfront Drive. This easement also allows the public to use the road and Public Amenity Area.
On the interim closing the Authority will pay $71,788.59 in legal costs as earlier approved by the
Authority. Trident Food and Chemical Enterprises Inc. has also agreed to consent to the granting of a
crown patent in favour of the Authority to any adjoining unpatented land.
If the by-law providing the 92 residential units is finalized by December 31, 1997, it will not be
necessary for Trident Food and Chemical Enterprises Inc. to utilize the $75,000 set out in the
recommendation.
FUNDING DETAILS
Funding for this project is available under Account Number 208-40-512, Etobicoke Motel Strip.

BACKGROUND
At the most recent Executive Committee meeting staff brought to the attention of the Members of the
AUTHORITY MEETING #4/96, May 31,1996 A132
Committee an offer dated April 29, 1996 from 1177284 Ontario Limited. At that time the offer was
not recommended by staff, The Members of the Executive Committee at meeting #3, held on May 10,
1 996 and staff indicated a number of concerns regarding the original offer which is attached to item #
3 of the Executive Committee minutes, These concerns together with comments are as follows:
(a) ~n!:t nf the 7nning hV-law amenttment~ and nffir.ial plan amendment~ The original
offer by the purchaser required that the Authority pay all costs associated with zoning
by-law amendments and official plan amendments. The Purchaser has now agreed to
assume these costs.
(b) The payment by the Allthnrity nf the ~'nn non fnr varinll~ develnpment r.h:uges. The
Purchaser has indicated that to make the transaction financially viable for a cemetery
use they can only pay 50% of the development charges which were estimated to be a
minimum of $400,000. The Authority's share is limited to $200,000 and is reflected in
the sale price, This has not changed since the May 10 request,
(c) The fir!:t right nf refll~al nn Allthnrity land nn the nnrth we!:t r.nrner nf .Iane Street ~nd
SteelR~ Avenlle The Purchaser had indicated that they will require additional burial
space in the future. The Purchaser had indicated they would not proceed with this
transaction if they do not have a first right of refusal on the additional land. This
clause has been changed to allow the Authority to first offer these lands to the former
owners of the properties, Any sale would be at full market value. The Authority also
retains the right to use or occupy the lands for public purposes.
This transaction is scheduled to close in December 1996 subject to the Purchaser obtaining zoning by-
law amendments, official plan amendments, site plan approvals and various approvals to use the site
for cemetery purposes. If these conditions are not satisfied by November 30, 1996, the Purchaser has
the option to extend the conditional period to June 30, 1997 subject to paying a non-refundable
payment of $3,000 per month commencing January 1, 1997, Also if the conditions are not satisfied,
the Purchaser has an option for an additional extension to December 31, 1997 upon paying an
additional deposit of $147,490, If any of the conditions of this Agreement are not satisfied by the
times specified, the Agreement will be terminated and the Authority has the right to retain all interest
on the deposits.
There is no commission or finders fee payable on this transaction by the Authority. However the
Purchaser was introduced to this property by a representative of Weston Larkin Inc. and staff have
been advised by the Purchaser that Weston Larkin Inc. will be paid a finders fee directly by the
Purchaser,
Preliminary investigations indicate that the proposed use is acceptable to staff and officials of the City
of Vaughan. Also, it is our understanding from preliminary discussions, that this use appears
acceptable to the abutting property owner, United Parcel Services who had objected strenuously to the
earlier proposed residential use. UPS has indicated they will continue to object to any proposed
residential use of the property,
.
George Damiani, the principal of 1177284 Ontario Limited has recently become associated with
Gardiner, Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, As a result, Mr. Steven Iczkovitz of Borden & Elliot
Barristers and Solicitors has been engaged to deal with this matter. The Damiani family is also
associated with the Ward Damiani Funeral Home, who have a chapel on Highway #7 in the City of
Vaughan,
A133 AUTHORITY MEETING #4/96, May 31, 1996
The previous transaction with 970545 Ontario Limited was signed in early 1993 for $2.15 million
based on the Purchaser achieving 150 residential housing units. Receipt of this offer came after the
public proposal call in 1991 for sale or lease development of the subject parcel under which no
substantive offers were received, The land value proposed to be paid by the purchaser was viable for
the purchaser on the basis of his proposed development being carried out under the Government
assisted affordable housing program, Due to the delays in achieving the required zoning and the
cancellation of the affordable housing program, the original development became non-viable for the
previous purchaser, The Authority under the previous transaction achieved the removal of the land
from the extremely restrictive parkway belt zoning at the cost of the Purchaser.
In view of the numerous high density residential sites currently available on the market resulting from
the cancellation of the assisted housing program, the highest and best use at this time is for other than
residential purposes,
The amount being achieved by the Authority ($1,274.900 or $296,488 per acre) at this time under this
transaction is in line with current appraised values for lands of this nature and is in the range of the
appraised value for the land in 1993 for other than the assisted affordable housing uses.
A copy of this agreement as revised and as executed by the Purchaser is appended for the information
of the members.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
There is an immediate need to proceed with the sale of this property to meet current acquisition
commitments which are as follows:
(A) Milne Hollow (Markovic) -Located in the vicinity of Lawrence Avenue and the Don

A147 AUTHORITY MEETING #4/96, May 31, 1996
BACKGROUND
At the Executive Committee Meeting held on May 10, 1996, receipt of a letter dated May 6, 1996,
from Mayor Wayne Arthurs of the Town of Pickering, was discussed. Staff was directed to enter into
discussions with the Town of Pickering, James McKean and Price Waterhouse Limited, Trustee in
Bankruptcy, regarding possible participation by the Authority in the acquisition of the subject holdings
on a partnership basis, Staff was further directed to report back to the members of the Authority at
the earliest possible date concerning this matter,
Copies of mapping illustrating current Authority and other public lands in the area, as well as the
subject holdings, are appended to this report for the assistance of the Authority members. An aerial
photo of Frenchman's Bay is also provided.
The subject holding consists of two irregularly shaped parcels under the registered ownership of Keen
Kraft Marina Co. Limited and James McKean. Keen Kraft Marina Co. Limited was petitioned into
bankruptcy on June 15, 1995, and Price Waterhouse Limited has been appointed as the Trustee.
While the letter from Mayor Arthurs was only received earlier this month, the availability of the subject
property has been the subject of ongoing discussions involving Authority staff and officials of the Town
of Pickering for several months.
The uniqueness of the Frenchman's Bay area as one of the major wetland habitat and recreational
resources of the Greater Toronto Area was first recognized by this Authority and supported by the
Province of Ontario, as well as our municipal funding partners, as early as 1969. In 1970, immediately
after the Province designated the Authority as its agent in implementing waterfront activities across
the lake Ontario Waterfront area of the Authority's jurisdiction, the Frenchman's Bay area was
featured as one the major highlights of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Plan and the
projects emanating from this plan. The Frenchman's Bay area has continued to be included with
increasing importance being focused on the Bay area through Provincial, Municipal and updated
Authority plans.
The Corporation of the Town of Pickering has consistently supported the Authority's objectives in
bringing lands around the Bay into the Authority's ownership. In addition to the conveyance of several
parcels of Town-owned lands on the Bay to the Authority at nominal consideration, the Town has also
assisted in a substantial way in providing 50% of funding in a number of recent acquisitions of
properties in the Town of Pickering, on the Bay, including properties on the East Spit, the former
Sandbury Building Corporation property, and the Moore property on the West Spit purchased during
May of this year.
ANALYSIS
As illustrated on the appended maps, the McKean property is situate a short distance south of the
Sand bury Building Corporation property, purchased by the Authority in 1992, in partnership with the
Town of Pickering. At the time, the lake Ontario Waterfront Regeneration Project in the Region of
Durham and The Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Projects were prepared, no portion of the
subject holding was included for acquisition on the assumption that the McKean property and the lands
to the south, on the east side of the Bay would remain in private recreational boating uses, being
compatible with Authority objectives for the Bay. During recent weeks Authority staff have become
concerned, as have officials of the Town of Pickering, that a sale of the property to others could occur
which might possibly result in a land use change not deemed compatible with the Town and Authority
long term objectives for this area.
The Town has been in negotiations with representative of the McKean property for the past several
months and it is anticipated that an agreement can be concluded over the next few days which will
meet the objectives of the Authority and the Town.
AUTHORITY MEETING #4/96, May 31, 1996 A148
The Authority objectives with respect to this location include provision for compliance with the
Provincial Policy directions for shoreline management, facilitating the ultimate opportunity for the
waterfront trail and public access, providing the opportunity for a public boat launching facility at a
safe and suitable location and in general, allowing the water orientated recreational uses in the area to
continue in a manner compatible with the environmental health and well being of Frenchman's Bay.
Traditionally, lands of this nature would be funded on a 50/50 basis with the Authority providing 50%
of the funding and taking ownership in fee simple of the entire holding.
In this instance, it is felt that the Authority objectives can be adequately protected through agreement
and covenants with the Authority contributing a lesser funding amount and acquiring only a partial
interest on title,
The technique proposed in this arrangement has been discussed extensively with the Authority
solicitors and they are satisfied that the necessary Authority rights, interests and objectives required to
be obtained at this location can be accommodated under the method proposed. .
RATIONALE
At the time the Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project 1996- 2000 was approved in May,
1995, extensive discussion took place concerning Authority acquisition priorities and the need to
explore and initiate innovative acquisition techniques.
As identified elsewhere in this report, staff feel this property, as well as other properties situate on the
shoreline of Frenchman's Bay are high priority lands for acquisition.
The total acquisition of the former Keen Kraft Marina and James McKean site within the overall area of
Frenchman's Bay will provide in public ownership, a transition area and use between the commercial
marina activity area to the south and the significant wetland feature to the north. This acquisition
would be consistent with the management direction for public and private interests around the Bay.
FINANCIAL
The land being acquired will be managed under the co-ownership arrangement between the Town and
the Authority,
The agreement to be prepared will include provision to adequately deal with items such as taxes,
maintenance and liability, in a manner consistent with the use of the property.
The amount to be paid for this property will be in conformity with an independent appraisal obtained by
the Authority.
It is proposed that this acquisition be funded from land sale revenue. In view of the fact the Authority
will have until January 31, 1997 to pay the funds required under this transaction, staff is satisfied that
this commitment can be satisfied from lands sale revenues.

RES #A86/96 - ADVERTISING GUIDELINES
Third Party Display Boards
Approval of the guidelines governing advertising content on third party display
boards on Authority lands
Moved by: Donna Patterson
Seconded by: Eldred King
THAT the report on advertising guidelines for third party display boards on Authority lands be received;
AND FURTHER THAT the guidelines contained therein be adopted. ................... CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At the March 29, 1996 Authority meeting approval was given to enter into lease arrangements with
Mediacom, an outdoor display company, for the purpose of placing billboards on certain MTRCA
properties.
At that meeting the question of the suitability of certain types of advertising was raised by members of
the Authority, RES. #A25/96 at that meeting stated:
"THAT staff prepare a policy regarding the types of advertisements that the Authority would
consider acceptable ~
In accordance with the resolution, guidelines were prepared by staff for review by members of the
Authority. The draft guidelines were distributed to members of the Authority at the April 26th
Authority meeting with a request that comments be provided. No responses were received and, as
such, the guidelines are put forward as drafted for adoption.
ANALYSIS
The guidelines have been modelled on the policies of the provincial government, and the Toronto
Transit Commission, which govern advertising content on their properties. These guidelines will be
incorporated into Mediacom's process for distributing advertising copy to their various locations
throughout the area and the final safeguard will be the provision in the lease agreement which provides
for immediate removal of displays deemed to be inappropriate by the Authority.
Report Prepared by:
Ken Owen, Extension 255
ADVERTISING GUIDELINES
Third Party Display Boards
A153 AUTHORITY MEETING #4/96, May 31, 1996
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority ( MTRCA) is guided by the general
principles embodied in the Canadian Code of Advertising Standards in determining the acceptability of
advertising for its properties.
MTRCA staff are charged with the responsibility of interpreting and implementing the Authority's
guidelines in regard to good taste and other matters. MTRCA staff may overrule decisions made by the
sign company regarding the implementation of these guidelines. The Authority (as distinguished from
the MTRCA staff) may become involved at its discretion. The Authority will be the sole and final
arbiter in all matters relating to the suitability of advertising content and may refuse, or order removal
of any message at any time, at its discretion.
The MTRCA will not accept advertising which disparages, exploits, unfairly represents or is offensive
based on race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual
orientation, disability, age, marital or family status. Advertising that is sexually exploitive is prohibited.
The MTRCA will not accept advertising of questionable taste or which, in its sole discretion, is
considered irritating in its style, content, or method of presentation.
Material calling for the advocacy of, or opposition to, a political point of view, policy, or action is
prohibited.
Material advocating the name of any political party and /or candidacy of an individual, may be
acceptable, providing the content is in keeping with all guidelines and that the message centres
generally on the candidate's name and party affiliation, the office being sought, election date or other
such information pertinent to the election. Material which tends to disparage a candidate, or party, or
cause, will not be allowed.
Religious advertising which promotes a specific ideology, ethic, point of view, policy or action, which in
the opinion of the MTRCA might be deemed prejudicial to other religious groups is not permitted.
Tobacco advertising is not acceptable.

Authority lands be received. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #4/96, May 31, 1996, the Authority under the item entitled Disposal/Lease of
Authority Owned Land situate east of Islington Avenue in the vicinity of Rutherford Road, adopted
Amendment #3, Resolution #A 76/96 as follows:
"THA T to assist Members in future land disposal issues, staff report to the next Authority
Meeting on the Authority's definition of "compatible use", as currently used as a condition
on the sale of Authority lands. "
In respect to sales by the Authority, "compatible use" is site specific. Generally "compatible use" is
described as acceptable uses based on the make up and character of the adjoining
neigbourh.ood/community, development trends, usually driven by market forces and the nature of
adjoining Authority lands.
Authority Meeting #5/96, June 28, 1996 A167
It should be noted that when a parcel of land has gone through the Authority's surplus/disposal
process and has been declared surplus to the Authority's needs, the technical issues in respect to
protection of the lands being retained have been addressed through such means as buffers and lor
restrictions in the agreement of sale (ie: height restrictions to minimize visual impacts). An example
of this is the Jane St, and Steeles Avenue sale which limited the building to not more than 6
storeys to minimize the impact on Black Creek Pioneer Village, At the end of the technical review
point in the process, it is in the Authority's best interests to keep the restricted uses to a minimum
and to allow the market forces to define what is a compatible use and ultimately determine the
highest and best use, therefore maximizing the return to the Authority.
Some uses are not considered to be compatible adjacent to Authority lands, These would include
mainly obnoxious uses, where there is a high risk of soil, water, air and noise pollution. These
conditions are generally associated with heavy industry, In the case of the recently completed sale
in the vicinity of Claireville, a Deed restriction was included that the land will not be used for any
heavy industrial or obnoxious use.
A clause prohibiting the use of the property for any purpose or use other than a use not contrary to
Authority's objectives and which does not negatively impact on Authority's land is now included in
agreements of sale. This requires the proponent to specify a use which then can be reviewed on a
site specific basis,

THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting 4/96, the following resolution as amended, was adopted by the Members:
THA T staff be directed to return the deposits received from the six proponents who
submitted offers for the sale of surplus Authority owned land situate on the east side
of Islington Avenue, south of Rutherford Road in the City of Vaughan, Regional
Municipality of York and advise them that no proposals have been selected for further
consideration at this time;
AND FURTHER THA T staff be directed to continue to negotiate with all parties who
submitted offers for this property and any other parties who have expressed an interest
in purchasing the property until such time as an acceptable proposal is received
whereupon it is to be referred to the Members of the Executive Committee for
consideration.
A170 Authority Meeting #5/96, June 28, 1996
After the Authority meeting, deposit cheques were returned to the six parties who submitted offers and
they were advised of the Authority's decision. This information was also conveyed to other parties
who expressed an interest in the property. The Chair advised staff that he felt it would be in the best
interests of the Authority to attempt to bring this matter to an early conclusion and directed staff to
attempt to negotiate an acceptable arrangement for presentation to the Members of the Authority in
June 1996.
This time frame was communicated to all parties. As of June 13,1996, seven parties had met with
staff to discuss details of the proposed sale or lease. All interested parties were given the same
information regarding the Authority's position and the appraised value of the land. All previous
conditions of the original proposal call still apply. Because of the interest in the property, the
Authority's solicitor recommended that a deadline be set for submission of sealed offers to ensure that
the process was fair to all interested parties.
All interested parties were advised that sealed offers for the sale or lease or a combination of sale or
lease of the property were to be submitted to the attention of the Chief Administrative Officer of the
Authority before 4:00 p.m., June 13, 1996 and the offers were opened Friday, June 14, 1996 at 9:45
a.m. prior to the meeting of the Executive Committee.
At the Executive Committee meeting the Chair advised the Members as to the status of negotiations.
In addition to the appraisal report prepared by Royal Lepage for $175,000 per acre, Larry Bedford and
Associates have provided draft appraisal information indicating that the market value of the property is
$180,000 per acre.
ANALYSIS
Five proposals were received and opened June 14, 1996. None of the five has met the Authority's
conditions at an acceptable price.
The following is a summary of the offers received. Copies of the five offers are attached.
Offered Purchase Price
Proponent Blackplate Sam Frustaglio - RiIi Father Claudio Trigger II
Investments In Trust Construction Moser - In Trust Construction
Inc. Weston Ltd. -In . Inc.
Trust
Purchase Price $2,700,000 $2,414,000 $1,600,000 $1,500,000 $1,400,000
Acreage 15 17 15 15 17
Price per Acre $180,000 $142,000 $106,667 $100,000 $82,352.94
. In addition to the offer a letter was enclosed offering to reduce the acreage to be purchased to
about 10 acres and enter into a lease for an additional area if their offer to purchase at
$1,500,000 was not deemed acceptable.
The Authority's solicitor has reviewed the five Agreements of Purchase and Sale and his comments are
outlined in the attached letter dated June 17, 1996.
Authority staff and solicitor Robert Rossow of Gardiner, Roberts met with four of the five parties who
submitted offers for this property. The company whose proposal was the lowest per acre did not
respond to the request to discuss their proposal. Attached is a table summarizing the offers received.
As of June 28, staff is not prepared to recommend acceptance of any of the offers. The offers from
Blackplate and Sam Frustraglio are closest to the Authority's appraised value and with the possibility of
their conditions being negotiated to a point where they would be acceptable to the Authority.
Accordingly, staff recommends continuing to negotiate with these 2 parties.
Authority Meeting #5/96, June 28, 1996 A171
BlackplatA InvA~tmAnt~ Inc
Blackplate is the only proponent to provide a non-refundable deposit. The Blackplate proposal is at
market value based on the appraisal information received by the Authority, This proposal is conditional
on draft plan approval and the closing could be as long as four years from now. Parkland dedication
clause is not acceptable. All other Authority conditions have been satisfied.
Sam Fru~taglin - In Tru~t
Sam Frustaglio has provided two separate offers for consideration. The first offer has increased the
purchase price from the original offer submitted by Sam Frustaglio, however most of the increase
relates to an increase in acreage. The price per acre has increased by $2,000. The price is
significantly below the appraised value of the property.
The second offer is at $2,800,000, which would close up to 19 months from now subject to obtaining
draft plan approval. On closing the Authority is to take back a mortgage for 18 months. The Province
will not allow the Authority to hold a mortgage. Sam Frustaglio has indicated verbally that he will
remove the mortgage requirement if the closing date is extended by 8 months, The deposit and
interest on the deposit is refundable.
Rili Cnn~tructinn WA~tnn Ltd - In Tru~t
Rili has increased their offer significantly from their original proposal, however it is still well below
market value.
FathAr Claudin Mn~Ar - In Tru~t
Father Claudio Moser's proposal has now been revised to reduce the acreage to 10 and includes a
lease or licence for passive recreational use of approximately 5-8 acres for 50 years. The lease or
licence would contain a renewal option and a first right of refusal andlor option to purchase the land.
The total payment for the lease or licence for the 50 years would be $50,000 to pay for any costs
associated with the lands such as taxes, maintenance and insurance. If the $50,000 was put in an
annuity, it would generate approximately $3,000 per year income.
TriggAr II Cnn~tructinn Inc
Staff offered to meet with Trigger, they did not respond.

Dear Sirs:
HE: MTRCA Sale or Surplus Laads - &liogtoD A\'enue and Rutherford Road.
Our me No. 61.095
r have reviewed the Offers which were submitted as of June 13th, 1996 and would offer my
CODIDlcms on each of them:
1. Blac~latc Invl!stmCtlts Inc. - Pu~ha.~ Price S2.700.000.00 or Sl80.000.00 per ~
The problems with this Offer are as follows:
(a) The pwchaser has the right to extend the closing for up to four years or the date
its obtains dmft plan approval whic:bcver first occurs and If within the four-year
period the draft plan approval is DOt obtained. the purchaser can terminate the
agreement and obtaiu the return of its deposit;
(b) 1bc cost of parkland dedication for the subdivision is to be assumed by you;
(c) In addition, we are obUged to n:presc:Dt that there arc no an:hacologica1 matters
on the property to the best of our information and the purchaser is not obliged to
take any adion in this regard;
(d) Any midcntial use is permitted including, plCSumabiy, bigbrisc residential;
(e) The purchaser bas placed a cap on its n:sponsibility for shrubbc:ty in the buffer
area of $25,000.00; and
(I) The purchaser is only offering to acquire lS acres and there is no provision for
ac:a:ss by you over the remaining three acres at the tear;
I suspect, if the purchaser was prepared to delete the condition on draft plan approval and rulucc
the timing for closing to a date in 1996, these other matters could be easily resolved.

A176 Authority Meeting #5/96, June 28, 1996
GARDINER, ROBERTS 2.
.., Sam Frualaglio, in Trwa't - Purchase Price for 17 acres is $2.414,000.00 or $142.000.00
OM
per acre.
(a) The main problem with this offer is tbar closing is ~bcr 31. 1996 but is
COJKUttonal until a few days prior to dosing on the purcbascr being sadsftcd ho
can obtain rezoning; and
(b) The other problem is that by aap1iring 17 acres, we arc left with apprmm!lltely
1 acre of table land whid1 would likely be a problem for us to dispose of to
anyone clsc at a price that would be oomparable to tbc $142,000.00,
It would seem to me that this offer would be acceptable if the period for rezoning would be
shortened to say the end of August or September so that we would be assured of closing in 1996,
and, perhaps we could ask for the deposit to be increased when the condition on rezoning was
waived.
3. RiH Consbuction Weston T Jmlted
The purchase price in this case is $1.600,000,00 for 15 acres being $106,667.00 per acre, lbc
problems with this offer arc:
(a) firstly, the Purcbascr requires free rights and dedication over the propcny that you
own at the southwest comer of the lands herein. UnfoltUDalcly I have no way of
knowing how much land we arc speaking of for this purpose;
(b) Secondly, the Purchaser also TCqui~s the free right to the use of the pond on your
retained land for storm water managcmcm purposes; and
(e) Thirdly, the Purchaser ~quircs an option over the ~maininB three acres if they
become available at tbc same price as what is being offcred for tbe 15 acres
$106.667,00 per aac.
Apart from the pric::c, I think it will be neccssary to clarify bow much land is being required at
the southwest comer before we could proceed with this offer. Also, I think we would have to
be satisfied with ~gards to the use of the pond and perhaps this should be dealt with by your
technical people,
4. Father Moser
This offer was for 15 acres at $1,500,000.00 or SlOO,OOO.OO per ~ and there arc no serious
problems with this offer other tban:
(a) It is not entirely clear as to the intended use. This is, I suspect, more a problem
of drafting and could be easily worked out; and

GARDINER, ROBERTS 3.
(b) The other minor problem is that the c:Iausc IqIIdiDs tba buffer area his ba:o
cbaDgcd somewhat
Apart from the foregoiq aad subject to the price, I bave DO COIICCrDI with tho offer.
S, Tri~ n Conmuctlon Ine
'Ibis offer was for 17 acres al a price of S82.352.94 per acre and because of the price I have Dot
bothered to review this off",
1 trust the foregoinS colDlllCDlS will assist you. If you require auything further. kiDdly, advise,

established to raise funds for and promote the Vii/age and that the Authority immediately enter

most effective means of implementing this recommendation. II
A245 Authority Meeting #7/96, August 30, 1996
RA TIONALE
The fund raising function is a critical element for survival today for any non-profit organization,
especially as public sector funding diminishes, Unlike other Toronto cultural attractions including the
ROM, AGO, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, McMichael, Metro Zoo, Ontario Science Centre, Canadian
Opera Company, The National Ballet, and Harbourfront, BCPV does not have a dedicated fund raising
arm, but must establish one in order to achieve the greater level of self-sufficiency demanded of it
over a very short time frame.
The culture sector has long recognized the importance of ongoing fund raising and most cultural
institutions expect their board members to fund raise actively, and include it among board
responsibilities. The Board's fund raising role complements or assists the efforts of staff managed
foundations or in-house development departments.
In the absence of a separate Board of Directors for BCPV, the Sub-Committee considered ways in
which a fund raising group unique to the Village could be established. The Conservation Foundation IS
one vehicle through which this could be accomplished, The establishment of a separate charitable
foundation is also a possibility. The BCPV Business Plan Sub-Committee has concluded that it is
essential for the Village to have a dedicated fund raising arm, but whether it resides within the existing
Conservation Foundation or is established as a separate entity, requires further discussion with the
Foundation.
The Sub-Committee recognized the importance of creating a committee whose sole fund raising
objective is BCPV, and the importance of recruiting individuals with specific expertise from the broader
community to assist in this effort. The dedication of such a group to the Village's ongoing fund raising
needs, without concern for other projects, was also considered to be imperative. Ideally, this group
would Include individuals with strong corporate connections, previous experience and success in fund
raising, genuine interest In BCPV, and would represent both the geographical and ethnic communities
as well as communities of interest.

BACKGROUND and RATIONALE
During the 1970's, the province developed the North Pickering Plan and acquired land for its
implementation. The purpose was to create a new community in Pickering, surrounded by a
permanent agricultural reserve. This proposed community is now called Seaton and a
secondary plan IS currently being prepared by the North Pickering Development Corporation.
It is the intent of the province to return the lands in the agricultural preserve to private
ownership.
A259 Authority Meeting #8/96, September 27, 1996
At meeting #4/96, held on May 31, 1996, the Authority dealt with a request from the
Ontario Realty Corporation (ORC) to comment on a disposition strategy for the valley lands
and ESA's in the Duffin-Rouge Agriculture Preserve and in this connection the following
resolution was adopted:
IIRES. #A92/96
THA T the staff report regarding the disposition of surplus
government lands, Duffin-Rouge Agriculture Preserve be received;
THA T the Authority affirm its position that all flood plain, valley
and stream corridors, and environmentally significant lands acquired
by the province for the North Pickering Project should remain in public
ownership;
THA T staff be directed to continue discussions with the Ontario Realty
Corporation with respect to the protection and acquisition of the valley
and stream corridors contained within those lands now considered surplus.
. . . . . . . . - . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . , , . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED"
Consistent with this Authority staff met with representatives of the ORC. It was their
position that only those lands currently covered by the Authority's Fill Regulation should be
retained in public ownership. Staff clarified that the current Fill Regulation limit does not
cover all of the valley and stream corridors now regulated by the Authority and that many
corridors are regulated for flood risk management. It was further pointed out that these
valley and stream corridors are now proposed to be added to the Authority's area for Fill
Regulation,
In September 1996, Authority staff was requested to comment to the Durham Land Division
Committee on an application by the ORC to sever two parcels from a property within the
agricultural preserve. In keeping with the Authority's policy and program interests, staff
indicated they could not support the proposed applications until the environmental lands on
them were placed in a separate block and left in public ownership. Staff requested that,
should the Committee choose to approve the applications the following condition be
imposed:
The applicant identify the environmental lands as separate blocks and
transfer title of the environmental blocks at no cost to either The
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Town of
Pickering or the Region of Durham.
The property is currently designated "Permanent Agricultural Reserve" and "Major Open
Space" in the Durham Regional Official Plan. The Pickering Official Plan is currently being
updated and there are no poliCies specific to the area, however, it is in an area intended to
retain its rural character. It IS zoned "A", Agricultural.
Authority Meeting #8/96, September 27,1996 A260
In commenting on the applications, the Regional Planning Department recommended that
they be tabled until satisfactory arrangements were made to protect the open spaces and
the applicant can demonstrate the viability of the proposed agricultural parcels. The Town
of Pickering Planning Department recommended that the applications be deferred until
various issues, including the protection of the environmental areas, could be further
discussed by the Town, the Region, the ORC and the Authority,
The Duffin-Rouge Agricultural Community and the Green Door Alliance supported one
application but not the other. Their objection related to the future urban/agricultural
direction of the area and the need for agreement on the disposition of environmentally
significant areas,
The Land Division Committee approved the severance applications subject to the following
condition:
"That the applicant satisfy the requirements of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority with respect to placing a restrictive covenant on title to
protect environmentally sensitive lands as per Flood Plain Mapping - Petticoat Creek
Sheet OAM 75 to the effect that no filling, grading, construction or alterations to
watercourses be undertaken without written permission of the Authority."
This decision is contrary to the recommendations of the Region and the Town and only
partially addressed the Authority's concerns, The deadline for appeal of the decision is
October 8, 1996. The Town, at a meeting held September 23, directed staff to appeal the
decision and Regional Planning staff will be recommending to Planning Committee on
October 1 that the Region also appeal,
The decision did not address the issue of retention of public ownership and the Authority's
stated interest. It is staff's opinion that the Authority should join the Region and the Town
in appealing the decision on the basis that it is premature to consider severances in the
Duffin-Rouge Agricultural Preserve until matters related to the long-term protection and
ownership of the environmental resources are resolved.

The following statement was presented to the Authority by Metro Councillor for Black
Creek, Maria Augimeri:
"Mr. Chairman, at the outset of the last meeting of the Conservation and Related Land
Management Advisory Board, I raised an issue, which is of great concern to my community -
specifically our neighbours who occupy the homes in the Jane and Steeles area. That issue
was, that community members felt that the legal requirement for dissemination of
information concerning the sale of surplus M.T.R.C.A. lands is inadequate. It does not meet
the needs of communities because the radius of notification is far too restrictive.
The issue I wish to raise today, is that with respect to the surplus sale of Jane/Steeles lands
to a developer intent on building a six-storied crematorium andlor mausoleum complex is
out-of-sync with the wishes of the neighbouring community.
With this in mind, the City of North York Council, last Wednesday, adopted a motion to
advise the City of Vaughan that both the neighbourhood and the Council are unilaterally
against such a development.
In this regard, I have written a letter to Vaughan Mayor Lorna Jackson, advising the Mayor
of my community's strenuous objections to the proposed redevelopment of the site.
I would then respectfully request that M.T.R.C.A. staff review the matter, consult further
with the community and take into account the very real and very serious objections of our
neighbours."
Authority Meeting #10/96, November 22, 1996 A304
MOTION
Moved by: Maria Augimeri
Seconded by: Bev Salmon

AND FURTHER THAT Authority staff be aware of the concerns of the neighbouring
community of the sale of these lands to a developer intent 0",- building a complex which may
be out-of-sync with the wishes of the community.

BACKGROUND
In August of this year, we publicized our rejuvenated Employee Suggestion Award System.
An Employee Evaluation Committee was put in place to review and evaluate all suggestions
received and to make recommendations to the Recognition and Employee Suggestion Award
Sub Committee. To date, we have received thirteen suggestions; five are recommended for
awards in this report; one has been returned for additional information; two are being held
open in the event that the suggestions or parts of the suggestions are implemented in the
next two years; six have been declined because they are not new ideas or because. they are
not regarded as implementable. If these awards are approved by the Authority they will be
publicized as encouragement to other staff to participate in the program
A309 Authority Meeting #11/96, December 20, 1996
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The total cost of the awards is $400.00. Cash awards are paid from the revenue initiative.

BACKGROUND
In 1993, the Clublink Corporation submitted a redevelopment proposal for the existing
Cherry Downs Golf Course as located within the rural area of the Town of Pickering, Duffin
Creek Watershed. This proposal was extensive and included an 18 hole golf course
expansion, new clubhouse and a townhouse style, "clustered" residential housing
development. The proposal affected lands within and adjacent to two tributary valleys of
the Duffin Creek and an Environmentally Significant Area.
A347 Authority Meeting #12/96, January 24, 1997
Authority staff completed an extensive review of the 1993 Clublink proposal which resulted
in substantive design modifications. In January 1996, staff forwarded a report, through the
Water and Related Land Management Advisory Board (WRLMAB), recommending Authority
approval-in-principle of the modified development concept and set out a series of conditions
to be satisfied for final approval. At the time that the Board considered the report, Council
of the Town of Pickering had not yet finalized their position on the proposal.
At the Board meeting, concerns were raised both by Authority members and concerned
citizens, particularly as related to environmental impacts associated with the residential
component of the proposal. Approval-in-principle was not endorsed.
Prior to the Authority's consideration of the WRLMAB's recommendation, Council of The
Town of Pickering resolved that the Clublink proposal was not supported. Authority staff
prepared a supplementary report for Authority consideration, such that at Authority Meeting
#12/95 held January 26th, 1996, Res.#A299/95 was adopted as follows:
-rHA T staff be directed to monitor the Cherry Downs Development
applications and to report at an appropriate future date on the status of the
applications and Authority interests related to the same..
AMENDMENT
Res. 300/95
-rHA T staff be directed to continue to hold dialogue with members of the
public on the application..
THE AMENDMENT WAS....................................................................... .CARRIED
THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS...............................................CARRIED
In response to the January 1996 decision of Pickering Council, Clublink Corporation revised
their development application to eliminate the proposed residential development and
resubmitted the revised planning applications for review and approval. Clublink is still
proposing an 18 hole golf course expansion with related services(ie. New clubhouse, septic
system, water taking and irrigation) which requires a local zoning bylaw amendment and
minister's zoning order amendment. Regional and Local Official Plan Amendments and
Subdivision applications are no longer required.
In July 1996, the revised application was circulated to the MTRCA for comment. At a public
meeting on the revised application, the local residents requested that a working group be
established to review the revised proposal and suggested that the group involve
representatives from Clublink, the Town, MTRCA staff and representatives from the
community. In October and November, MTRCA staff participated in a series of workshops at
the Town of Pickering.
Through discussions at the workshops, correspondence between the consultants and
MTRCA, and site visits, Authority and Town staff resolved all outstanding technical issues
at the conceptual level with the proposal for the golf course expansion including objectives
for public access. The residents still expressed some concern, particularly with the existing
on-line pond which is proposed to remain, the impacts of the water taking scheme and the
closing of the 14th sideline, a Town of Pickering matter.
Authority Meeting '12/96, January 24, 1997 A348
Status of Planning Applications
On December, 2nd 1996, the revised Clublink applications wer~ approved by the Town of
Pickering Council with a number of conditions attached. These conditions are to be satisfied
prior to approval of the final implementing zoning by-law for the golf course. The conditions
recognize Authority interests as identified by MTRCA staff and discussed at the community
workgroup meetings. Conditions which relate to the MTRCA interests are:
1.0 That the owners enter into a development agreement with the Town, to be
registered on title to the lands, which shall include provisions addressing the
following matters:
(i) a requirement that, before constructing the proposed golf course, the owners prepare
an environmental management and monitoring program to the satisfaction of the
Town in consultation with the MTRCA and community representatives, which shall
address such matters as fairway design and construction, erosion and sediment
controls, integrated pest management, natural area management, education and
monitoring;
(ii) appropriate provisions to require the owner to carry out the recommendations of the
Environmental Management and Monitoring Program such as performance bonds and
right-of-access to undertake the works, if necessary, as well as distribute the results
of the monitoring for review by interested parties including the Town, MTRCA and
community representatives;
(iii) That the owner obtain conditional site plan approval from the Director of Planning
generally based upon the concept plan dated July 2, 1996, and including a trail
connection from the north end of the travelled portion of Sideline 14 to the hiking
trail, the second irrigation pond as an .off-line. pond, as well as the identification of
the boundary of lands to be included within the open space-hazard land, agriculture,
and golf course zones.
In addition, an .open ended. condition has been incorporated which allows for the Town to
add any other matter as seen necessary prior to the approval of the implementing zoning by-
law.
A349 Authority Meeting '12/96, January 24, 1997
Revised Qublink Corporation Proposal
The changes proposed by the revised application are summariz~d as follows:
Golf Course Expansion and Residential Golf Course Expansion only
Development
Proposed Gray Water Lagoon. Irrigation to Gray Water Lagoon not required. Irrigation
golf course proposed from Gray Water for golf corse proposed by additional water
Lagoon, water taking from Michell Creek taking from Michell Creek and Ground
and Ground Water Supply. Water Supply as a contingency.
New off-line storage pond required.
Modifications proposed to the existing large
on-line pond to improve aquatic habitat.
Two smaller on-line ponds removed.
5 Storm Water Ponds Not Required
Communal Septic System for Residences Septic System and tile field for Clubhouse
Extensive rehabilitation of Riparian Zone Extensive rehabilitation of Riparian Zone
within the existing golf course, and within the existing golf course, and
additional planting on the tablelands on additional planting on the tablelands on
Sideline 12 adjacent to Claremont field Sideline 12 adjacent to Claremont field
centre. centre. New plant nursery proposed within
the tableland block on the 12th Sideline
adjacent to Claremont.
POLICY RATIONALE AND ANALYSIS
Golf Courae Layout I Regeneration
The configuration of the proposed golf course expansion is identical in layout to the golf
course design recommended for approval-in-principle by the Authority in January 1996. As
agreed with the applicant at that time, only four holes are proposed to cross the
Valleylands: two on Michell Creek and two on Spring Creek.
In our report to the WRLMAB in January 1996, staff noted that the golf course
configuration met MTRCA requirements for protection of the Environmentally Significant
Area, did not impact on the control of flooding, did not impact on slope stability and on the
erosion zone for Spring Creek and Michell Creek. In addition, the applicant's proposal to
conduct extensive plantings within the riparian zone of the existing golf course and to
replant tableland portions adjacent to the Claremont Field Centre, would enhance existing
environmental features and functions on site.
Note: Members can refer to the January 19, 1996 Authority staff report to the WRLMAB
(meeting #7/95) which sets out a detailed analysis of the golf course layout design In
relation to the hazard lands and natural heritage features and functions.
Authority Meetina 112/96, January 24, 1997 A350
The new changes as agreed to by Clublink as part of the revised application and as noted
above indude changes to the watertaking scheme, the proposed irrigation ponds, the public
access trails, septic system and a proposed nursery. The following analysis and rationale
outlines how each of these changes meet the requirements of the Authority's Valley and
Stream Corridor Management Program.
W... Taking I Irrigation
Section 4. 1.2(A}New Resource Based Uses, notes that the Authority encourages the use of
Valley and Stream Corridors if the existing features and functions are protected or improved.
Section 4. 1.2(B)(4} New Resources Based Uses notes that self sustaining and diverse
vegetation communities and associated wildlife should be protected from impairment from
proposed activities, such that:
i) proposals shall include:
- an inventory and evaluation of the aquatic and terrestrial plant and animal
communities including functions in terms of existing and potential fish and
wildlife habitat, linkages, and riparian functions(species composition, health,
vigor and condition)
. The watertaking scheme provides an improvement as the current rate of pumping
from Michell Creek will be reduced from 300 gallons per minute to 200 gallons per
minute. The 200 gallons will be taken over a longer period with less impact on base
flow. MTRCA staff have conducted a detailed assessment of information from
Gartner Lee Umited augmented with field investigations. This information included
the consideration of both the physical and aquatic characteristics of the watercourse,
the impacts on the current watertaking scheme, the potential impacts on baseflow
conditions, and consideration of the new computerized irrigation system proposed.
. The additional storage available in the new ponds provides the opportunity to pump
more water and store it during high flow periods, thus reducing impacts on Michell
Creek.
Based on this analysis staff are satisfied with the water taking scheme. It is anticipated that
MOEE will confirm the volumes and rates of withdrawals.
Ponds
Section 5.4(b)(2} Aquatic Regeneration notes the following for on-line ponds:
(2) In the case of On Une Ponds, Appropriate Management Techniques to be used
include alteration or removal of on stream barriers to facilitate fish migration and
reduce water temperature.
. Clublink proposes to construct a new off-line pond in order to increase water storage
for irrigation purposes. The existing on-line pond will be altered through the proposed
construction of a fish way , the establishment of riparian cover and the construction
of a bottom draw. Two existing smaller on-line ponds will be eliminated and the
watercourse restored using natural channel design principles.
A351 Authority Meeting #12/96, January 24, 1997
. While there is some public objection to any of the existing on-line ponds remaining,
the alterations proposed will have a net positive benefit on the environment and will
meet the requirements of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.
Public Access
In accordance with Section 4.1.2(A) New Resource Based Public Uses, the Authority
encourages the public use of the valley including local and regional trail systems. Public Use
opportunities have been achieved through:
. The proposed location of a trail connecting the valley system north and south of the
Cherry Downs property. The addition of a new trail alignment connecting the 14th
sideline to the proposed north south trail, will enhance public use opportunities. Part
of the trail will be designed to allow for equestrian access and will be designed
through utilization of the Authority's andlor Town's Trail design standards.
AcIcIItioMI Chang..
. A new septic system to service the clubhouse is proposed. This septic system
including tile fields will be located entirely on tableland and does not conflict with
MTRCA interests.
. The addition of a nursery to service the Cherry Downs Golf Course within a section
of the proposed rehabilitation block adjacent to Claremont Field Centre is also
proposed. This nursery will not detract from the wilderness experience offered to
students and other groups who attend programs at the Claremont Field Centre. The
nursery will utilize a portion of the tableland which will be screened from Claremont.
The nursery lands will be entirely on tableland currently used for agricultural
purposes. These lands were originally proposed for residential use.
SUMMARY
The Town of Pickering has approved the zoning by-law to allow for the golf course development
on the Clubllnk Lands at their Council Meeting of December 2nd 1996, with conditions which
must be satisfied prior to the Implementing zoning by-law being finalized. Staff is supportive of
the conditions placed on the zoning by-law amendment application. Staff is prepared to
continue to work with the Town, the applicant and the community to finalize the
implementing zoning by- law.
Staff is also prepared to review a permit application under Ontario Regulation 158. Aapart
of this process, detailed design drawings and a Environmental Management Plan will be finalized
to the satisfaction of the Town and the MTRCA in consultation with the community.

execute a/l neC8SS8Ty documentation required and obtain any additionalspprovals required.
At meeting 1 12/96, held on January 10, 1997, the Members of the Executive Committee
received the report on the disposal process for the surplus lands in the Rood Avenue area
and staff are in the process of implementing the sale process as set out in the staff report.
The Altona Forest Environmentally Significant Area consisting of 53 hectares( 131 acres),
more or less is situate in the Town of Pickering in the Regional Municipality of Durham. The
forest is located south of Finch Avenue East, between Rosebank and Altona Roads. It was
identified as ESA No. 95 by the MTRCA in the 1982 Environmentally Significant Areas
Study and in the updated ESA Report, 1992. In response to a growing concern that the
Altona Forest would be developed, the Authority adopted a project to acquire the properties
at Authority Meeting 13/93, held on April 23, 1993.
An Ontario Municipal Board Hearing (OMS) was held during March 1994, to deal with a
number of development applications, with Authority staff and solicitors taking a major role
to preserve a sustainable portion of the Altona Forest. As a result of the hearing, the
applications were deferred by the OMS for two years, pending the Authority's completion of
the acquisition of the properties. The owners are entitled to reapply to the OMS to secure a
final order with respect to the appropriate official plan designation of their property, if their
property is not purchased by the MTRCA prior to April 30 1996.
A total of approximately 49.2 hectares, has been acquired to date, at a total cost of
$11,857,600 that includes the Spiers property donation.
Two parcels remain to be acquired to complete the Project. The Poling lands, adjacent to
Altona, do not need to be acquired at this time since most of the property is designated as
open space and there was no application before the OMB.
Since the OMS decision, a development application was made to the Town of Pickering, for
the Rivett property located at the north end of the Altona Forest, adjacent to the hydro
corridor that links the Rouge Park to the Forest. This application has not yet been circulated
to commenting agencies. The owners notified the Authority of their intent to make an
application to the OMS if the Authority had not purchased their property by the April 30,
1996 deadline. On April 28, 1995, by Resolution #86/95, the Authority approved the
acquisition of the Rivett property, subject to the Authority obtaining the necessary funds to
complete the purchase of the property. Unfortunately, funds were not available. An
extension to the existing agreement was negotiated whereby the agreement at hand was
extended to November 30,1996, with a closing date to be on, or before, December 31,
1996. Unfortunately staff was not able to secure the funding required to purchase the
Rivett property and the December 31/96 deadline expired without any resolution.
As a result the Rivetts have requested and have received a hearing date from the OMS
scheduled for January 27, 1997, for an informal hearing to set the directions for
proceeding. Staff has negotiated a six month deferral for the OMB hearing subject to the
Authority approving the proposed funding strategy and subject to suitable property being
Authority Meeting 112/96, January 24, 1997 A362
available at Rodd Avenue. A letter from the solicitor for Paul and Barbara Rivett, outlining
the arrangement was received and is attached for your review. .
It should be noted at this time, that in the earlier discussions on the Altona Forest Project
direction was provided to staff, not to utilize land sale proceeds for the purchase of lands
for the Altona Forest Project. It is respectfully requested that in view of the fact that
acquisition of the Rivett property will add to the sustainability of the A1tona Forest, that
staff have the opportunity of attempting to implement this process as a final effort to
complete this acquisition. Officials of the Town of Pickering support the Authority staff in
attempting to find a reasonable resolution for the public acquisition of the Rivett property,
through the land exchange process.
Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands.
RATIONALE
The land being acquired is situate within the approved acquisition boundary of the Project
for the Acquisition of the A1tona Forest Environmentally Significant Area.
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
Under the approved Project, the Authority is responsible for the management of the Altona
Forest. The addition of this property will not have a significant impact on maintenance
costs.
Taxes on the property are estimated to be $400 per year.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The Authority earlier took the position that land sale revenues should not be used to acquire
Altona Forest property. To date staff has been unsuccessful in raising funds from other
sources for this final acquisition. Therefore, entering into a land exchange would appear to
be the only means to achieve the Authority's objective of completing the A1tona Forest
assembly.
