C.27 as amended:
AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take

BACKGROUND
The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has two sewers running between Lawrence
Avenue West and St. Phillips Road on the West side of Weston Road.
One of the sewers known as the Albion Sanitary Trunk Sewer was assumed from the City
of Etobicoke by Metro on the 27th day of July 1954 and the other sewer, known as the
Humber Sanitary Trunk Sewer, was built by Metro in 1962.
A portion of the assumed sewer running approximately 250m south easterly from St.
Phillips Road was abandoned and a diversion was constructed without the acquisition of
easement. Further, the assumed easement is 30 ft. wide which is not wide enough for
Metro's needs. Therefore, Metro is requesting a new 15m wide easement for the protection
of the diverted portion and for the widening of the 30-ft. easement which will be released.
The sewer built by Metro was constructed on a 50 ft. wide easement. This easement was
acquired without the benefit of a survey, as a result, the sewer was constructed along the
southerly limit of the easement. Metro is requesting a new 50 ft. (15.24m) wide easement
which is centered along the centre line of the sewer. Metro will release the previously
acquired easement.
The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has conveyed lands to the Authority over the
years for the nominal consideration of $2.00 and has requested that this easement be
granted for the nominal consideration of $2.00. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto
has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing the
transaction.
The subject lands were acquired from various owners in early 1960 under the Humber River
Flood Plain Lands component of the Land Acquisition Project.
A plan illustrating this location is attached.
MARCH 7 , 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #1/97 813
ANALYSIS
This conveyance of easements is to realign the easements to the constructed sewers. No
new construction will be undertaken at this location.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The subject Authority-owned lands are under a Management Agreement with The
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. Metro will continue to be responsible for all
maintenance and realty tax costs associated with this property.

826 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE '1197 MARCH 7, 1997
BACKGROUND
Since the Executive Committee meeting held on February 14, 1997, at which time a
detailed presentation was made by staff, the following action has taken place:
(1 ) Representatives of the Authority and the Regional Municipality of York met with staff
of ORC and submitted an offer for the purchase of the entire holding together with a
deposit cheque in accordance with the direction of the Members of the Executive
Committee of the Authority and supported by the Council of the Regional
Municipality of York.
At the meeting, Authority staff, despite the earlier insistence by ORC for the
Authority to make an offer in writing were advised by ORC, that the general practice
of ORC is for all offers to be prepared on their standard format.
(2) On February 28, 1997, ORC provided Authority staff with four copies of an unsigned
Agreement of Purchase and Sale on their standard format, showing a purchase price
in excess of that offered by the Authority. In addition, a number of conditions
included in the Authority offer were either deleted or substantially altered to the
detriment of the Authority. The most significant alteration being the deletion of the
earlier commitment by the Province to indemnify the Authority and retain all liability
relating to water issues.
A meeting was held at the Authority office on March 4, 1997 between officials of the
Authority, the Authority solicitor, officials of ORC, The City of Vaughan and the Regional
Municipality of York, in an attempt to reconcile the differences in the terms and conditions
of the 2 offers.
At the meeting, the ORC officials provided Authority representatives with a copy of the final
report concerning environmental site assessment and decommissioning recommendations
relating to the site. A number of issues were resolved at the meeting, however certain
issues remain outstanding.
The major issues outstanding at this time which are currently under discussion, include the
following:
(a) The purchase price;
(b) The liability issues relating to water tables and water flow;
(c) Environmental conditions;
(d) Anti-flip clause.

Re: Former MNR Maple District Office

Further to our meeting on February 10, 1997 with respect to the above-noted matter, we have
reviewed your proposal. A copy of your document has been circulated to the Chair of our Outdoor
Education Committee and the response was very enthusiastic about the potential of the subject
property
We would be very interested in discussing a long-term lease proposal with you which would allow the
Board to utilize the MNR facHltles and property for Outdoor Education and related purposes.
We have not ruled out a partial ownership sc:anario and we are also prepared to consider this option.
It should be noted that under the proposed 8111 104, our Board has limited capacity to deal with
property acquisition pending the establishment of the Education Improvement Commission.
We will be contacting you shortly to arrange a second meeting to discuss this proposal.
Thank you for your assistance.
Yours sincerely, .

RES. #B12/97 - GTA CONSERVATION AUTHORITY COMMENTS ON THE
PROPOSED GREATER TORONTO SERVICES BOARD
The Special Advisor to the Minister on the Greater Toronto Services
Board Project has requested comments on a discussion paper by March
14, 1997. Because "watershed management'" was included as a
function that should be coordinated by the Greater Toronto Services
Board (GTSB) in the original recommendations from Mr. Crombie and the
"Who Does What"Panel, it is important the Conservation Authorities
have some input to the design and implementation of the GTSB.
Moved by: Richard Whitehead
Seconded by: Brian Harrison
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the report from the Chief
Administrative Officer, dated March 4, 1997, on the GT A Conservation Authorities'
Submission to the Special Advisor to the Minister on the Greater Toronto Services Board, be
received;
AND FURTHER THAT Authority staff continue to monitor the work of the Special Advisor
and to report back, as required.

THAT, in addition, the Chair of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
write to Milt Farrow emphasizing the interregional coordinating role which this Authority has
successfully played for the past forty years as the conservation agency responsible for
watershed management in a large part of the Greater Toronto Area;
AND FURTHER THAT the Authority has undertaken and will continue to fulfill, for the
environment, the role envisioned for the Greater Toronto Services Board for the various
hard services requiring interregional coordination.

B32 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/97 MARCH 7, 1997
BACKGROUND
The Province of Ontario announced its intention to establish a Greater Toronto Services
Board (GTSB). Mr. Milt Farrow has been appointed as Special Advisor to the Minister on the
Greater Toronto Services Board Project. Mr. Farrow has prepared a discussion paper that
has been circulated for comment by March 14, 1997.
As noted, in the original recommendations from Mr. Crombie and the "Who Does What"
Panel, the co-ordination of watershed management was one of many functions that were to
fall within the purview of the GTSB. The discussion paper prepared by Mr. Farrow, does
not discuss the issue of watershed management, presumably because it is not seen as a top
priority at this time and I believe it is not seen as being in need of fixing.
The General Managers and Chief Administrative Officers of the GT A Conservation
Authorities identified the need to have some initial input to this exercise and we have
drafted and submitted to Mr. Farrow, the attached brief.
The GT A Conservation Authorities have jointly submitted similar briefs to the Golden Task
Force and the "Who Does What" Panel. The attached Brief reflects comments and
recommendations made in these previous documents. Due to the short time frame, there
was little time to develop a more substantive submission, however, we anticipate the
opportunity to provide additional information as the work of Mr. Farrow continues.
The main points of our Brief are:
. The importance of managing our natural resources on a watershed basis;
. The need to separate the management and protection of the
environment from the design, construction and operation of the hard
services such as sewers, water mains and pollution control plants;
. We have identified the many areas where the GT A Conservation
Authorities have been working together, to better deliver our services in a more
coordinated way, across the GT A;
. We suggest Authority involvement on the GTS Board on a full time basis would not
be warranted nor necessary, however some form of associate membership should be
considered, so that when issues related to the environment and the watersheds are
discussed, we would be represented in some fashion.
MARCH 7. 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #1/97 B33
In the process of drafting this Brief, it came to our attention that the Mayor of the Town of
Caledon, Carol Seglins, is the Chair of a sub-committee of the GTA Mayors and Chairs
Committee, which has been assigned responsibility for the topic of watershed
management/environmental services and the role of the GTSB. Mayor Seglins expressed an
interest in receiving some information from the Conservation Authorities on this issue and
therefore she has been provided a copy of this Brief. We understand the Brief will also be
circulated to her committee namely:
. Mayor Ann Mulvale, Town of Oakville;
. Chair Joyce Savoline, Region of Halton;
. Mayor Tim Jones, Town of Aurora;
. Mayor Michael Prue, Borough of East York; and
. Mayor Hazel McCallion, City of Mississauga.
This Committee will be making some recommendations to the GT A Mayors and Chairs
Committee. We will also monitor the discussions taking place through this process as well.

Conservation authorities are community based environmental
organizations responsible for managing natural resources on a
watershed basis. Because our area of jurisdiction is based on
the physical lbrit. of the watersheds, as opposed to a political
boundary , our watershed boundaries do not coincide directlY with
the GTSB boundary, which we are assuming will be the existing GTA
boundary, Figure 1 illustrates the relationship between physical
and political boundaries and those areas where watersheds extend
outside the GTA.
Managinq on a watershed basis is fundamental and has become
broadly accepted. The management of natural resources takes
place most effectively within the context of a natural resource
system, an ecosystem. A watershed provides an ecosystem wherein
'everything is connected to everything else': and where
activ1~ies upstream impact on conditions downstream. Virtually
all watersheds transcend municipal boundaries.
The authorities' work in conservation and stewardShip of
renewable natural resources on a watershed basis puts us in a
position of technical expert on land-water issues. Because of
our unique area of jur1sdiction, and recognizing that natural
systems do not follow poli tical boundaries, conservation
authorities must work across jurisdiction boundaries and require
an understanding of the political complexities of ecosystem
management. ThQ management of our natural resources on a

watershed basis lends itself to the opportunity to address
, juriSdictional gridlock' by enabling one agency to develop and
implement natural resource management throughout each watershed.
This not only supports an ecosystem approach based on the input
of the community, but is more cost ettective, accountable and
consistent.
Each of the six conservation authorities within the GTA has
developed its own vision or mission statement that reflects the
needs, objectives and individual characteristics of t.'leir
watersheds. We do however, share the same vision for the future
GTA recoqnizinq that one of the major problems facinq us is the
issue of growth manaqement and all of the pressures that come
with providinq for an estimated additional two million people.
We understand the need to balance the economic and environmental
health of the reqion and the problems of rinancinq the
infrastructure necessary to accommodate the projected growth.
Our vision of the GTA is one where:
*the watershed is the basic unit for natural resource
IllAnaqement:
*the 'qreen infrastructure' is maintained, expanded and,
where necessary, reqenerated:
*urban qrowth is achieved in a sustainable way with
clean water, linked qreen spaces and healthy
communities; and
*the countryside is recoqnized as providing an essential
environmental function tor the urban centres.

necessary:

In the February 1997 Discussion Paper 'Developing the Framework
tor a Greater Toronto Services Board' the bullet point on Page 8
reads ....environmental services, including water supply and
vater pollution control...". It is our opinion that
environmental services should be separated out from water supply
and water pOllution control. Enviromnental services should be
viewed in the context of managinq the ecosystem and therefore
would be better to stand alone and not qrouped with servicing
issues, which we acknowledqe do depend heavily on environmental
conditions.
We believe that there are opportunities within any proposed
governance model to enhance t.'le effectiveness and efficiency of
watershed Illanag8ll1ent. This is particularly relevant when one
considers the natural features t.'lat extend beyond the GTA, such
as t..'le Niagara Escarpment, t.'le Oak Ridqes Moraine, and the Lake
Ontario water~ront. Althouqh there are various levels of GTA
coordination of these resources, they often lack implementation

or are too conceptual to be practical. Yet these natural
resources are critical pieces of the qreenlands puzzle that yield
a healthy environment which is essential for a healthy economy
and healthy communities.
Also, in terms of watershed management there could be
opportunitias to develop inter watershed strategic plans as well
as to participate in and contribute to strategic planning for
growth, servicinq, and public open space.
These opportunities need to be carefully coordinated with the
community involvement and initiative that makes watershed
management so successful. The citizens need to be able to relate
to an orqanization that maintains its qrassroot ties.
In reality, a .uccess~l model for watershed management would
probably include both strategic planning within the broader
Greater Toronto Area as well as more detailed watershed planninq
and service delivery within each watershed. :It must ]:)e
remembered that watershed planning, even at the GTA strategic
scale will require the involvement of c01llIlluni ties which are not
wi thin the GTA envelope. We would see the GTSB concept as the
development of ano~~er partnership wi~'l a broader context.
You should ]:)e aware that while all of the GTA discussions have
been underway, the CTA conservation authorities have taken the
initiative of vorldng in partnership on many fronts. For
eXl1lIIple, we are putting the final touches on a flood warning
service that will provide consistent text and format for our
clients, the municipalities. Throuqh this service we will share
our resources for general. flood alerts but will move back to the
individual watershed model for the prediction and management of
more serious localized flood events. In addition, we are workinq
collaboratively with each regional municipality to develop a
syste~ for Environmental Plan Review Services that will provide a

consistent approach and fee structure within eac.'1 reqional
municipality, or designated area municipality. In the area of
financial manaqement, the GTA con..rvation authorities have
developed an activity-based costinq model that will be applied to
our budgets and financial statements thereby allowing for
standardized financial reviews across our watersheds.
We have also qone on record in our Submission to the Greater
Toronto Area Task Force as stating "the conservation authorities
within the GTA are flexible and willinq to embrace change tor the
betterment ot their watersheds and recoqnize that, as the
structure and qovernance ot the GTA evolves, we must chanqe to
meet the demands of the future in a renewed and revitalized GTA".
We remain committed to this statement.
GTBB XJDmBJt8K%P
We believe that watershed management, although vitally important
to a healthy GTSB, will initially probably not be one ot the
highest priorities of the GTSB. We suqqest that consideration be
given to a type o! associate membership that would bring- the
conservation authorities, as your environmental experts, to the
table when there is discussion and decision making relating to
the environment.
Our six Boards o! Directors include 82 municipal politicians, and
21 lI1Unicipally appointed citizens. Therefore, there may be somB
indirect connections to the GTSB.
We otter our skills and knowledqe in watershed management as
expert resourCQS at the Board's disposal. Certainly we could
lead any environmental sub groups that the Board may form, and we
can also add value and an environmental voice to any other sub
groups whose mandate may relate to the environment. As you are

aware, we are considered both nationally and internationally as
the 'leading edge' of watershed management.
G'fSB 1'tnImDJG
Through the 'Who Does What' initiative, the major responsibility
for funding environmental proqrams now rests with the
municipalities. In addition to receivinq this municipal
financial support, the conservation authorities also raise monies
through user tees, partnerships and our foundations. We would
expect that any existing initiatives that would migrate to the
G'l'SB from the existinq municipal structure would include an
equivalent transter in local fundinq. However, any new
initiatives that may be proposed for the conservation authorities
1:Iy the GTSB would require the financial support of the G'I'SB.
COJleLtrSIOJl
The Halton Region, Credit Valley, Lake Simcoe Reqion,
Metropolitan Toronto & Reqion, Central Lake Ontario and Ganaraska
Region Conservation Authorities are of the opinion that there are
environmental opportunities that could 1:Ie realized through inter
watershed initiatives. We believe that watershed manaqement is
the key to a heal thy environment which in turn is essential for
healthy communities and a healthy economy.
We remain committed to our vision for the GTA and look forward to
workinq within the qovernancQ model that is determined to meet
the best interests of the residents of our watersheds.

2. Letter of Undertaking from Mr. Joe Hamadi, P. Eng., General Manager, Sora
Development Corporation; dated and received February 24, 1997. (Total Documents 1).
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal consists of constructing a storm sewer headwall and outfall within a tributary of
the Mimico Creek, in conjunction with the proposed industrial development of the adjacent
lands. The subject watercourse drains an upstream area of less than 125 hectares. The stream
is not presently fill regulated; however, fill lines are proposed to encompass the stream corridor
as part of the on-going Fill Regulation Extension Program. Permission from the adjacent
landowner is forthcoming, since the headwall and outfall will be constructed on Ontario Hydro
property.
Control of Flooding:
There are no flooding concerns (ie. Regional Storm) since the watercourse drains an area less
than 125 hectares upstream of the site. In regards to storm water quantity control for the
proposed industrial development, post development flows will match pre-development runoff
for the 2 through 100 year storm events.
B54 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE '1#1/97 MARCH 7 , 1997
Pollution:
Silt fencing will be installed adjacent to the watercourse to impede the overland migration of
sediment during grading work of the industrial development. A temporary rock check dam will
be installed within the watercourse immediately downstream of the headwall structure.
Stormceptors will be installed on each industrial lot in order to trap oil, grease and large
suspended particles during runoff.
Conservation of land:
The disturbed portion of the riparian zone will be rehabilitated with native woody vegetation
and ground covers. All other areas within the industrial development will be
stabilized/revegetated following construction.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley
and Stream Corridor Management Program.

To place fill within a regulated area, alter a watercourse and to construct in a flood plain
on Part East % lot 11, Concession 3 EHS, (7080 Dixie Road), in the City of
Mississauga, Etobicoke Creek Watershed as located on property owned by same.
The purpose is to place fill material in conjunction with the construction of an addition to the
existing temple building and expansion of the adjacent parking lot within the Fill Regulated Area
and construct a storm sewer headwall/outfall within the Regional Storm flood plain of the
Etobicoke Creek.
The permit will be issued from March 7, 1997 to March 6, 1999.
1. Letter of Undertaking from Narinder Singh Dhillon, Treasurer, Ontario Khalsa Darber Inc.
dated February 20,1997; received February 27,1997.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prooosal:
The proposal consists of placing fill material in conjunction with the construction of an addition
to the existing temple building and expansion of the adjacent parking area. Only the northern-
most portion of the grading works are located within the Fill Regulated Area. Storm water
runoff from the new parking area will drain toward the Etobicoke Creek and outlet through a
proposed headwall/outfall area within the Regional Storm flood plain. The proposed building
addition and parking lot are located outside the Regional Storm flood plain. The outfall area will
not intersect the Etobicoke Creek channel.
MARCH 7, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING '1#1/97 B55
Control of Flooding:
Post development flows will match pre-development runoff for the 2 through 100 year storm
events. Staff is presently reviewing a storm water management report submitted by the project
consultant to confirm runoff quantity control. All grades around the headwall/outfall area will
be maintained at pre-development ground elevations; no additional fill will be placed within the
Regional Storm flood plain of the Etobicoke Creek with the exception of rip-rap at the outfall.
Pollution:
Silt fencing will be installed at the top-of-bank of the Etobicoke Creek valley corridor to impede
the overland migration of sediment from the tableland grading work (ie. parking area/building
addition sites). A further sediment trap (combination of rock check dam with a sediment fence
attached on either side) will be installed between the outfall area and the Etobicoke Creek
channel. Storm water runoff from the tableland areas will be directed to a stormceptor installed
upstream of the proposed headwall to trap oil, grease, and large particle sediments prior to
outletting to the receiving watercourse (water quality control). In addition, native plantings will
be added between the outfall and the Etobicoke Creek for further water quality treatment (ie.
nutrient uptake by woody plant root systems).
Conservation of land:
All slope stability issues related to the establishment of a development limit and structural
setback from the projected long term stable slope line, along a portion of the valley corridor in
close proximity to an oxbow of the Etobicoke Creek, have been satisfied by staff's acceptance
of a geotechnical analysis submitted by the proponent's consultant. An 11 metre buffer area
between the physical top-of-bank and the projected long term stable slope line will be planted
with native vegetation for additional erosion protection. The disturbed portions of riparian zone
and valley wall will also be revegetated with native woody plant material and ground covers.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.2.2 (E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures
- and 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and stream Corridor
Management Program.

7.2.10 TOWN OF RICHMOND HILL ERRATA
To alter a watercourse on Part Lot 50, Concession 1 W, (193 Oxford Street), in the
Town of Richmond Hill, Don River Watersheds as located on property owned by Town
, of Richmond Hill, Ian and Marie Tulip and Ernie and Carolyn Leonetti.
The purpose is to replace an existing culvert.
The permit will be issued from March 7, 1997 to March 6, 1999.
1. Letter of Undertaking received March 5, 1997, from Stephen Fick, Director of Design,
Works Department in The Town of Richmond Hill; agreeing to the required revisions on
the plans.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The Town of Richmond Hill is proposing to replace two CSP culverts on Oxford Street, west
of Regent Street. The existing culverts are frequently overtopped and deteriorating. The
watercourse is a small tributary of the East Don River. The drainage area is less than 125 ha.
so there is no Regional Storm flood plain associated with the watercourse.
Control of Flooding:
In recognition of the frequent overtopping of the existing culvert, and concerns expressed by
a home owner on the downstream side, east of the culvert, the Town initiated a study to look
at alterations and determine the best design for the proposed culvert. The design would
address the flooding concerns of the landowner; protect lands upstream from increased
flooding; maintain fish passage and enhance fish habitat. The resulting proposed works involve
installing three new CSP culverts re-aligned to provide better conveyance; raising the grade on
Oxford St.; providing erosion protection on the downstream property on the west side of the
watercourse; and providing flood protection in the form of a berm on the east side. A plunge
pool is proposed both upstream and downstream from culvert to slow the velocities of the
watercourse. Our engineering staff are satisfied that the design will address the flooding
concerns and not increase flood levels upstream.
MARCH 7, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #1/97 857
Pnllutinn'
The work is to begin immediately under low flow conditions. The watercourse will be dammed
and pumped around the work site. In addition, any dewatering of the site will be undertaken
to prevent sediment from going downstream.
Cnn!,;p.rv::Itinn nf L::Ind'
The design of the proposed culverts will allow for fish passage. The riparian area upstream and
downstream of the culvert will be restored with native vegetation.
The Town will be trying to complete the work prior to the end of March to meet the fisheries
guidelines for in-stream construction. However, in recognition of the flooding problem, the
Ministry has agreed to waive the fishery guideline if the work extends past the end of March.
Pnlicy Guidp.linp.!';'
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing.

To alter a watercourse on Part Lot 1, Concession 6, (Stouffville Road, 300 metres east
of Kennedy Road), in the Town of Whitchurch Stouffville, Rouge River Watershed as
located on property owned by Region of York and Howard and Robert Ratcliff.
The purpose is to replace a culvert which is deteriorating.
The permit will be issued from March 7, 1997 to March 6, 1999.
1. Stouffville Road Culvert Replacement Plan; prepared by D.S. Lea Associates Ltd.;
Contract #97-107; Sheets 3 and 5; received March 4, 1997.
2. Ratcliff Property Proposed Planting Plan; prepared by Region of York Forester; received
February 26, 1997.
RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Propn!';::!I:
The Region of York is proposing to replace a deteriorating open foot box culvert with an open
foot box culvert of a similar cross-section. The new culvert will be longer to accommodate a
one lane expansion to the road.
B58 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE '1#1/97 MARCH 7 , 1997
There are existing on-line ponds upstream and downstream from the culvert. The road
expansion to the south impacts on the downstream pond. The land owner has agreed to allow
a portion of the pond to be filled in as part of the road shoulder provided that the island in the
pond is cut back. The island will be restored with trees and shrubs.
Control of
Flooding:
As the size of the culvert and the grade of the road are essentially remaining the same, there
will be no impact on the control of flooding
Pollution:
The work site will be isolated from the stream flow by damming and pumping the flow around.
Sediment fencing will remain in place until the site is stabilized with seed, sod or mulch.
Conservation of land:
The culvert replacement requires mitigation for fisheries. The invert of the culvert will be lined
with river run stone to form a low flow channel. In addition riparian plantings will be
undertaken upstream and downstream from the culvert.
Also as part of the mitigation, and in compliance with recommendations of the Rouge Fish Plan,
the existing on-line pond upstream of the culvert is to be taken off-line. The details of this
project will be the subject of a separate permit application under the Little Rouge River
Restoration Project.
Policv Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 4.3 Infrastructure and Servicing.

MARCH 7 , 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #1/97 859
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prooosal:
The applicant proposes to construct a small berm on the west side of an existing residence
within the fringe of the Regional Storm flood plain. The subject property contains a dwelling
along the outer fringe of the Regional Storm flood plain. In 1995, the owner constructed an
addition which extends within the fringe of the flood plain. This addition was constructed
without the approval of the City of Scarborough and MTRCA. Staff met with the Chief Building
Official for the city and it was determined that due to the time that had elapsed, it would be
difficult to order removal of the addition structure. City staff have worked with the owner to
bring the structure up to building code standards.
It has been the practise of the Authority not to issue permits after the fact. As the structure
has existed for approximately two years, staff are of the opinion that an alternate solution
would be to have the proponent flood protect the site. This can be achieved through the
landscaping berm as proposed.
Control of Flooding:
There will be no measurable impact on the control of flooding. The structure is at the fringe
of the flood plain at depths of less than .5 metres during Regional Storm conditions. The berm
will have the effect of protecting the addition to the residence. The main portion of the
residence is not within the flood plain.
Pollution:
Sediment fencing will be erected between the proposed berm and the adjacent vegetation and
will remain in place for the duration of the works.
Conservation of land:
There will be no impact on the conservation of land. The berm will be planted in accordance
with details provided by the applicant.

by Metro Works Department; Drawing #96-621; received January 9, 1997.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
Two sections of sanitary sewer are exposed in the stream bed of the Highland Creek
downstream of Military Trail. Metro Works is proposing to construct rocky ramps downstream
of the sewers to fix the stream invert in place and prevent further down cutting of the stream
bed.
Control of Flooding:
These works will not impact the control of flooding in this reach.
Pollution:
Machinery will work from a stone pad in the water course to minimise disturbance to the
stream bed. In addition. the work will be undertaken as quickly as possible. This approach is
acceptable to us as it minimises the amount of sediment in the watercourse.
Conservation of land:
A portion of a maintenance access trail which has been previously approved by this Authority
will be constructed to access the sites. The in-stream works will be conducted in compliance
with the MNR fisheries guidelines.
Policy Guidelines:
These works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 4.3 Infrastructure and Servicing.

7.2.14 CITY OF VAUGHAN - PARKS &. RECREATION DEPARTMENT
To place fill within a regulated area and alter a watercourse on Part Lot 4, Concession
8, (East side of Martingrove Road, between Highway #7 &. Steeles Avenue,
. Woodbridge), in the City of Vaughan, Humber River Watershed as located on property
owned by same and Ontario Realty Corporation.
The purpose is to place fill material for site grading and installation of new storm and sanitary
sewer systems in conjunction with the development of a multi-use sports facility within the Fill
Regulated Area of the Rainbow Creek.
The permit will be issued from March 7, 1997 to March 6, 1999 in accordance with the
following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
(1 ) PlIWIS; prepared by R.J. Bumside &. Associates Ltd.; Project M-857B, Drawings M-857B-

January 14, 1997.
(2) Letter of Undertaking from Terry Twine, City of Vaughan - Parks &. Recreation Dept.;
dated and received March 5, 1997.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal consists of placing fill for site grading and the installation of new storm and
sanitary sewer systems in conjunction with the development of a multi-use sports facility
known as the Vaughan Grove Sports Park. The park currently contains four baseball diamonds
located on the southern half of the property. The north half of the subject lands will be used
for the Ontario Soccer Association headquarters building, along with one indoor soccer facility
and three outdoor soccer fields. Only the eastern-most portion of the site is located within the
Fill Regulated Area of the Rainbow Creek; grading for landscaping adjacent to the sports facility
development will protrude slightly within the registered fill lines, as well as the sanitary sewer
connection into the valley and the storm sewer outfall area. The existing sanitary trunk sewer
which parallels the Rainbow Creek valley floor is situated on lands owned by the Ontario Realty
Corporation (ORC). Written permission from the ORC will be forthcoming for the sanitary sewer
connection work.
Control of Flooding:
The entire sports facility will be located on tableland. The proposed storm and sanitary services
will extend into the valley corridor; however, this portion of the work will not be situated within
the Regional Storm flood plain, nor bisect the Rainbow Creek channel. In regards to stormwater
management for the site, post development flows will match pre-development runoff for the
2 through 100 year storm events. The proposed stormwater outfall will outlet into an existing,
remnant watercourse located at the north end of the property. This tributary stream of the
Rainbow Creek had been previously altered during commercial/industrial development upstream
of the subject lands, with flows diverted into storm sewer systems as dictated by the approved
Rainbow Creek Master Drainage Plan (MOP).
B62 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE '1#1/97 MARCH 7 , 1997
Pollution:
Water quality control for this site will be achieved through the use of long and shallow grassed
swales with relatively flat gradients. The vegetated swales will be located adjacent to the
internal roadways, parking lots, and playing fields. Catch basins will be installed within the
swales for additional treatment of runoff prior to flows entering the sub-surface storm sewer
system. Storm flows will outlet into the remnant watercourse at the top of the Rainbow Creek
valley wall, with rip-rap erosion protection around the outfall area. The remainder of the
watercourse (running down the Rainbow Creek valley wall) will be lined with native vegetation
for further water quality treatment. Silt fencing will be installed at the top-of-bank of the
Rainbow Creek valley and the valley floor to impede overland migration of sediment during
constru ction. Temporary rock check dams and catchbasin silt controls will also be added
throughout the site to further control sedimentation during development of the sports park.
Conservation of land:
As part of staff's review of the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) application for this
development, the physical top-of-bank of the Rainbow Creek valley wall was established for the
site. In addition, staff has reviewed and accepted a geotechnical analysis prepared for the
proponent which set a 15 metre setback for proposed buildings and paved surfaces from the
top-of-bank line. All disturbed areas within the valley corridor will be restored with native
woody vegetation (ie. trees and shrubs) and ground covers.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley
and Stream Corridor Management Program, as well as the Rainbow Creek MOP and staff's
recommendations regarding the EAA application for this development.

MARCH 7, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #1/97 863
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
The proposal consists of placing fill for lot levelling/grading purposes and constructing single
family dwellings on three previously severed parcels of land (Consent Applications 888/96 and
B89/96). The existing vacant lots contain uneven grades (ie. high spots and low areas) around
the proposed house sites. In order to provide relatively level yard areas, a one metre high
retaining wall (Pisa II concrete wall unit) will be constructed along a portion of the northern-
most lot boundary, adjacent to the northeast corner of the proposed house at this location. The
properties are located within the Fill Regulated Area and Regional Storm flood plain of the East
Humber River, as well as the Woodbridge Special Policy Area (SPA).
Control of Flooding:
The proposed dwellings will be floodproofed to above the 350 year storm flood elevation which
is the minimum level for flood protection of proposed buildings, as specified within the
Woodbridge SPA. The building sites are subject to minimal flooding (ie. centimetres) under
Regional Storm conditions. All openings into the proposed dwellings will be above the Regional
Storm flood level. The proposed earthwork (to level and grade the lots) will remove the high
spots in the yard areas, with the majority of the excavated fill material removed from the flood
plain. Some fill will be retained to fill in the low areas; however, most of the material will be
trucked away. The applicant will provide a cut and fill calculation to confirm the exact volumes
of earth work.
Pollution:
Silt fencing will be installed between the work site and the East Humber River to impede the
overland migration of sediment during construction.
Conservation of Land:
All filled and disturbed areas will be revegetated following construction.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.2.1 - Development and Redevelopment/lntensification
within Established Communities/Highly Urbanized Areas - of the Authority's Valley and Stream
Corridor Management Program and the Woodbridge SPA (City of Vaughan Official Plan
amendment 440).

RES. #818/97 - FEES FOR MTRCA PLAN REVIEW SERVICES
Status report on the development and implementation of fees for The
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (MTRCA) plan
review services including a draft, Greater Toronto Area (GT A)
conservation authorities "Flat Fee" Schedule for Planning Services.
Moved by: Brian Harrison
Seconded by: Richard Whitehead
THAT the status report regarding the development and implementation of fees for MTRCA
planning services and the draft, GT A conservation authorities "Flat Fee" Schedule for Planning
Services be received for information;
AND FURTHER THAT staff continue to consult with watershed municipalities and the
development industry and report final recommendations for Authority approval accordingly.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In 1996, staff reported on several Provincial initiatives to streamline the Land Use Planning and
Development Process in Ontario. A key initiative was the transfer of Provincial plan review
responsibilities to upper tier municipalities which resulted in the need for new partnership
arrangements with the Authority's neighbouring conservation authorities and watershed
municipalities. Because the Province's timetable for the formal transfer of Provincial plan review
responsibilities varied, there has been extensive discussion and consultation among the
municipalities, the Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario (ACAO), the GTA
conservation authorities, and the Urban Development Institute and its chapters during 1996 and
continuing to the present. Within the Authority's jurisdiction, only Durham Region has
formalized an arrangement with the Province and, from that, partnership memoranda with its
conservation authorities and area municipalities.
B66 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE '1#1/97 MARCH 7, 1997
Fiscal constraints affecting the public sector as a whole also resulted in the need to explore,
both corporately and within these new partnership arrangements, alternatives to tax-based
funding of Conservation Authority (CA) planning services. The MTRCA's 1997-1999 Business
Plan, which was approved by the Authority in October of 1996, summarized the financial and
operational measures to be implemented. The establishment of user fees for MTRCA plan
review services was a key measure and revenue from this new initiative has been included in
our 1997 budget.
This status report has been prepared and is being presented for information as consultation with
both regional and local staff and councils within the Region of Durham is quickly proceeding.
Although a report presenting final staff recommendations will be brought forward for approval,
these discussions are generally based on the details presented herein. Similar discussions are
being advanced, albeit at different rates, within the Regions of Peel, York and Metropolitan
Toronto. The challenge that staff is facing is that our corporate approach to fees is directly
related to the new partnership arrangements that need to be finalized with both our watershed
municipalities and neighbouring conservation authorities.
General Conservation Authority Framework
With the loss of the Provincial grant, every conservation authority has had to discuss and
address with its member municipality(s) the issue of new financial arrangements for planning
services. There has been varied response within the municipal sector which, to date, has led
to varied approaches to financing including:
. Full support through municipal levy (Hamilton-Wentworth);
. Municipal alternatives to levy through water bill revenues (Waterloo);
. Private sector user fees structured on:
i. CA invoicing to Region based on set hourly rate (Halton);
Iii. CA collecting a user fee based on a set per lot/block rate (interim CLOCA fee);
iii. CA user fees based on other approaches to a set rate for services.
There have also been two alternatives advanced as the legislative basis for establishing the
fees:
. A municipal by-law passed under Section 69 of the Planning Act which includes
provisions for appeals to the Ontario Municipal Board.
. A fee schedule adopted under the provisions of Section 21 of the Conservation
Authorities Act for services approved by the Minister.
Similar to the varied response as to how CA planning services should be financed, discussions
to date indicate a varied municipal response as to the preferred implementing mechanism.
MARCH 7, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #1/97 867
GT A Conservation Authority Framework
Staff within the GT A conservation authorities have been working to develop a consistent
approach to the development and implementation of planning services and financial
arrangements for same. Agreement has been reached around key principals:
. Costs associated with municipal planning initiatives including Official Plans, Secondary
Plans, Comprehensive Zoning By-laws, Subwatershed Studies and other watershed
resource studies should continue to be supported through levy or other municipal
revenue sources.
. Costs associated with the review of private development applications including
consents, variances, subdivision, site plans and related implementing official plan and
zoning amendments should be supported by user fees.
. To meet the needs of our municipal partners, flexibility is needed in the approach to
conservation authority planning fees.
. CA Fees will be established within each Regional Municipality rather than within each
CA.
. A "Flat Fee" schedule for CA planning services, generally based on the model developed
and attached to this report, is our preferred option.
In order for the Authority to meet its budgeted revenues, we are asking:
. Our municipal partners need to give the establishment of CA planning fees a high
priority in order to meet 1997 CA/Municipal budget arrangements.
. The cooperation of the regional and area municipalities, in the collection of conservation
authority fees.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Staff recommendations regarding the fee schedule for MTRCA planning services and
implementing mechanism will be finalized within each Region for Authority approval as the
related consultation is concluded.

BACKGROUND and RATIONALE
During the 1970s, the Province of Ontario 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 now the intent of the province to return the lands in the
agricultural preserve to private ownership.
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 ESAs in the Duffin-Rouge Agriculture Preserve. In this connection the following
resolution was adopted:
APRIL 11, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 875
-RES. #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 direction, staff met with representatives of the ORe. It was
their position that only those lands currently covered by the Authority's registered Fill
Regulation should be retained in public ownership. Staff clarified that the current registered
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 proposed to be added to the
Authority's area for Fill Regulation.
In September 1996, Authority staff commented to the Durham Land Division Committee on
an application by the ORC to sever two parcels from a property within the agricultural
preserve. Staff indicated that 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. ..
In commenting on the applications, the Region of Durham Planning Department
recommended that they be tabled until satisfactory arrangements were made to protect the
open spaces and the applicant could 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.
876 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 APRIL 11, 1997
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 OBM 75 to the effect that no filling, grading, construction or alterations to
watercourses be undertaken without written permission of the Authority. 11
This decision was contrary to the recommendations of the Region and the Town and only
partially addressed the Authority's concerns. The decision did not address the issue of
retention in public ownership. In considering this matter, the Authority adopted the
following resolution:
THA T the Authority direct staff to appeal the decision of the Durham Region Land
Division Committee with respect to Land Severance Applications LD 153/96 and LD
154/96 by the Ontario Realty Corporation on behalf of the Province of Ontario -
Duffin Rouge Agricultural Preserve, Town of Pickering, 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;
THA T staff continue to pursue the resolution of Authority issues in cooperation with
the Ontario Realty Corporation, the Region of Durham and the Town of Pickering
before the Hearing,'
THA T Gardiner Roberts be retained as legal counsel, as required;
AND FURTHER THA T the Ontario Realty Corporation, the Region of Durham, the
Town of Pickering and the Town of Markham be so advised.
Following this action, Authority staff has met regularly with staff of the Town, the Region
and the ORC to discuss:
. the mapping of environmental features,
. the mechanisms to be used to protect the environmental features and functions, and
. the principles to be used in developing a lotting pattern for the disposal of lands.
There has been a general agreement to recognize and protect those environmental resource
areas and functions of interest to the Authority.
APRIL 11, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 877
The mechanisms discussed to protect the environmental resources included dedication, to
the Authority or the Town, use of conservation easements and/or zoning. Five categories of
environmental resources were identified for discussion:
i. Valley and stream corridors covered by register Fill Regulations
ii. Valley and stream corridors included in the Authority's mapping extension program
(areas now regulated for flood risk management and proposed for fill regulation)
III. Environmentally Significant Areas
iv. Wetlands
v. Mature Forests.
At present, no land use change is being contemplated for these lands. They are to be sold
as agricultural lands and the lotting plan will take into account the need to create viable
units and recognize environmental resources.
The Authority directed staff to ensure that all of the environmental lands remain in public
ownership. It has been agreed that the valley and stream corridors currently covered by
registered Fill schedules will be excluded from any sale to private interests and will be
dedicated to the Authority. This includes the valleys of the Duffins Creek and that portion
of the Petticoat Creek draining greater than five square miles. Two sizeable wetland areas
are also being considered for transfer to the Authority.
The valley and stream corridors included in the Authority's mapping extension program and
adjacent environmental lands have been the subject of considerable discussion. Given that
the lots being created for sale are to remain in agricultural use, staff is of the opinion that
the Authority or the Town need not have ownership and management responsibilities for all
of these lands at this time. It is important, however, to ensure that if a proposal for land
use change comes forward in the future, the Town or the Authority can acquire these lands
without further costs. It has been proposed that a conservation easement covering these
lands be registered on title, clearly proscribing the requirements for protection of the
environmental resource area. With the environmental constraints clearly set out, the
Authority can require their conveyance anytime that a proposed land use redesignation is
proposed. The Town will also zone all lands in appropriate restrictive categories.
Mature forests, not connected to other environmental features, will be protected through
zoning.
The form and content of the conservation easement have been discussed and agreed to.
The conditions proposed in the easement will include, but not be limited to, the following:
. permit the Authority and/or its agents, to enter and have access to the subject lands
to carry out: inspections, stream improvements, rehabilitation, planting, flood
control, water quality improvements, maintenance and repairs
. prohibit; alterations to watercourses, draining of wetlands, polluting of any
watercourses, filling, grading, removal of trees, construction of buildings and
structures.
878 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 APRIL 11,1997
Principles for establishing a new lotting pattern have been generally agreed to and take into
account environmental features.
Through this discussion, the principles for disposition of the lands within the Duffin-Rouge
Agricultural Preserve have generally been agreed to. It is staff's opinion that, if these
principles are now applied to land transactions, the interests of the Authority can be
achieved. If these principles are applied to the land severance applications which have been
appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board, the Authority can withdraw its appeal.

B80 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 APRIL 11, 1997
BACKGROUND
Resolution #A 131/95, Authority Meeting #4/95, May 26, 1995, approving the project.
At Meeting #4/96, dated May 31, 1996, the Authority under Resolution #A92/96 adopted
the following:
"THAT 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;
THAT 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:-
Following Authority Meeting #4/96, staff meet with officials of the ORC to discuss the
resolution of the Authority's concerns.
The marketing plan developed by ORC has divided the disposition of the Agriculture
Preserve Lands into two phases. Phase I which they are currently pursuing and which has
been the focus of the meetings involves only the lands south of 14th Avenue in the Town
Markham, and south of Whitevale Road in the Town of Pickering. Disposal of the Phase II
lands to the north is subject to the determining the alignment of the proposed Hwy 407
through this area.
In September 1996, Authority staff commented to the Durham Land Division Committee on
an application by the ORC to sever two parcels from a property within the agriculture
preserve. Staff indicated that they could not support the proposed applications until the
environmental lands on them were placed in a separate block and left in public ownership.
The Regional and Town Planning Departments had similar concerns and comments and
eventually the decision of the Durham Region Land Committee was appealed. As a result a
number of meetings were held with staff from the Authority, Town of Pickering, the
Regional Municipality of Durham and officials from ORC to discuss the protection of the
greenspace system within the agriculture preserve and a consensus was reached on how to
protect the environmental resources and functions.
Recommendations with respect to the consent application is contained in a separate report.
Agreement was reached on the following mechanisms to protect the greenspace system.
The lands within the Duffin-Rouge Agriculture Preserve that are currently fill regulated and
that can be acquired for a nominal amount, are shown on the attached plan and include the
following areas:
- west side of the West Branch of Duffin Creek south of Whitevale Road
(approximately 320 acres)
APRIL 11, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 B81
- main Petticoat Creek valley from the southern limit of the Preserve to the
Metro border, Town of Pickering (approximately 75 acres)
, - east side of the Little Rouge River valley from Steeles A venue to 14th
Avenue and an ESA on the Petticoat Creek, Town of Markham (the Town of
Markham will be acquiring these lands) final decisions with respect to the
extent of the dedication is subject to the finalization of the Rouge Park
Management Plan north of Steeles A venue
There are 3 residential leases and 1 commercial leasehold with associated improvements
within the above noted valley lands in the Town of Pickering. The ORC has advised
agencies, that while all lands will be conveyed at nominal consideration of $2.00, they must
pay depreciated market value for the improvements. The Authority has the opportunity to
continue with the leases if appropriate and viable until such time as the tenant terminates
the lease. Staff feel the acquisition of the residential and commercial leases, which currently
fragment the corridors will ensure opportunities for future regeneration.
At present, no land use change is being contemplated for the remainder of the Agriculture
Preserve lands although the Town of Pickering has initiated a review of the rural lands in
this area. They are to be sold as agricultural lands and the lotting plan that will take into
account the need to create viable units. Given that they will be private agricultural lands,
staff believes it is not necessary, at this time for the Authority or the Town to have
ownership and management responsibilities for the greenspace lands, located within the
remainder of the Agriculture Preserve. It is felt the easement lands can be acquired by the
appropriate agency, through the usual development process when and if there is a proposed
land use change. It is important, however, to ensure that these greenspace lands are
protected under the current use. Therefore, the use of a conservation easement, attached
to title, clearly outlining the requirements for protection of the environmental resource area
was agreed to. The Town will also zone all lands in appropriate categories.
The greenspace area proposed for conservation easements is identified on the attached plan
and generally described as stream corridors, wetlands and forested areas contiguous with
the stream corridors. However, two sizeable wetlands currently identified for protection
through easements are being considered for transfer to the Authority. The conservation
easements (approximately 430 acres) are to be in favour of the Authority and shall include
but not be limited to the following conditions:
. permit the Authority and or its agents, to enter and have access to the subject lands
for the purpose of carrying out; inspections, stream improvements, rehabilitation,
planting, flood control, water quality improvements, maintenance and repairs
. prohibit; alterations to watercourses, draining of wetlands, polluting of any
watercourses, filling, grading, removal of trees, construction of buildings and
structures
Public meetings sponsored by ORC regarding the disposition process were held on January
28 and 29, 1997 in the Town of Pickering and the Town of Markham offices respectively.
B82 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 APRIL 11, 1997
The main issue arising out of the meeting in Pickering was concern about the impacts the
release of the Agriculture Preserve lands will have on; the proposed Seaton Development,
the Town of Pickering and the Community. The mechanisms proposed for the protection of
the greenspace lands were presented and were generally well received. Two residential
tenants from hamlet of Clarkes Hollow in the West Duffin Creek, which is part of the valley
lands proposed to be conveyed to the Authority, were at the meeting in Pickering. They felt
the subject residential lots should be returned to private ownership and expressed interest in
acquiring the properties. Staff still feel that the long term protection of the valley corridor
feature and functions in this case, would be best achieved by retaining all the valley corridor
in public ownership. Staff feels that lease agreements can be prepared with the residential
tenants of the area that will help to ensure the preservation of both the natural and cultural
heritage of this reach of valley and give a level of comfort in respect to the length of tenure.
RA TIONALE
There are important greenspace resources within the Agriculture Preserve lands currently
being considered for disposal as surplus. A significant reach of The Little Rouge River forms
the western boundary of the preserve and a portion of the west branch of Duffin Creek
containing the Whitevale Corridor ESA, forms the eastern boundary of the preserve. The
Seaton hiking trail(s), with a walking distance of almost 10 kilometres, is located within this
reach of the West Duffin Creek. In addition, the upper end of the Petticoat Creek and its
tributaries, and tributaries of the West Duffin Creek are within the preserve.
The subject areas are within the Authority's master plan of acquisition.
The ORC has received Council resolutions from the both the Town of Pickering and the
Regional Municipality of Durham dated June 10, 1996, and July 3, 1996, respectfully,
recommending the retention of all flood plains, valley and stream corridors and ESA's in
public ownership or be otherwise protected.
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
It is expected the Authority will complete the assembly of the valley lands over a number of
years. It is estimated that taxes would be $50.00 per acre. The Authority maintains lands in
this vicinity. It is expected the maintenance costs to increase somewhat, however these
types of lands require a low degree of maintenance and therefore costs should not increase
significantly.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
ORC has estimated the disposal process may take eight to ten years to complete and
therefore expenditures will be spread out over that period. Acquisition of improvements will
be subject to the availability of funding. Consideration will be given to seeking partners to
manage any lands which may be acquired.

APRIL 11, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 B89
BACKGROUND
The subject lands were acquired from Skigan Ltd. on December 28, 1962, M. V. Laidlaw on
May 25, 1970 and The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto (Metro) on October 4, 1983
under the Rouge River Flood Plain Lands component of the Land Acquisition Project.
The Metro Zoo sanitary sewer syphon was constructed by Metro in conjunction with the
Meadowvale Road with the Meadowvale Road alignment project. The sewer was partially
constructed on Authority lands and partially on Metro land that was subsequently conveyed
to the Authority. No easement was granted at that time to Metro for construction and
maintenance of the sewer.
Metro has conveyed lands to the Authority over the years for the nominal consideration of
$2.00 and has requested that this easement be granted for the nominal consideration of
$2.00. Metro has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing
the transaction.
A plan illustrating this location is attached.
ANAL YSIS
This grant of easement will formalize Metro's requirements for maintenance of the sewer.
No new construction will be undertaken at this location.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The subject Authority-owned lands are under a Management Agreement with the
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. Metro will continue to be responsible for all
maintenance and realty tax costs associated with this property.

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT approval be given for the Authority to
enter into a three party agreement with the Borough of East York and the City of Toronto
for the supply of sanitary and water services to the Don Valley Brickworks Regeneration
Project located in the Borough of East York and the City of Toronto respectively, in
accordance with the terms and conditions outlined in this report;
AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take
whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of necessary
approvals and the execution of any documents. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Don Valley Brickworks Regeneration Project was approved at Authority Meeting #9/93,
October 22, 1993 under Resolution #A 186/93.
The Brickworks Facility is located within the Borough of East York and there are no available
existing Borough sanitary and water services within the vicinity of the proposed
development. The closest point from where sanitary sewer and water services can be
provided is on Douglas Drive in the City of Toronto as shown on the attached plan.
The proposed services will include a sanitary pumping facility located in the Brickworks
Building, a 100 mm sanitary force main, approximately 350 metres long, discharging into
City's existing 300 mm combined sewer on Douglas Drive and a 200 mm water service
(combined fire and domestic supply service), approximately 350 metres long, connecting to
the City's existing 300 mm water main on Douglas Drive. From Douglas Drive, the
proposed services will cross Chorley Park, a section of City property, and the Railway Belt
Line before crossing the boundary between the City of Toronto and the Borough of East
York. From the City limit, the services cross MTRCA property and connects to the
Brickworks Building. A City water metre for a 50 mm domestic water service will be
located in the Brickworks Building.
The City has agreed to the location of the servicing and is proposing that the most practical
and efficient way to proceed will be for the City to assume ownership and maintenance
responsibility for the proposed force main and water service from Douglas Drive to the City
limit, except that MTRCA would be responsible for any future reconstruction or enlargement
(if any) of these services. The Authority will have ownership and will be responsible for the
maintenance of services in the Borough of East York within the Brickworks Facility,
including the pumping facility in the Brickworks Building.
APRIL 11, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 893
In order to implement this servicing proposal, it is being proposed that the Authority enter
into a three party agreement with the Borough of East York, and the City of Toronto on the
following basis:
1. The MTRCA will be responsible for installing the sanitary and water services, including
the sanitary pumping facility, from the Brickworks Facility Building to the existing City
services at the end of Douglas Drive, in accordance with City standards and utilizing a
contractor acceptable to the City. This will include obtaining all necessary permits from
the Borough of East York, the City of Toronto, the Ministry of Environment and Energy,
and the Metropolitan Toronto Works Department and MTRCA will be responsible for the
full cost of the installation of the services.
2. When the services have been commissioned the City will assume ownership and
responsibility for the maintenance of the !;prvir.p!; within the limits of the City of
Toronto except that any future reconstruction and/or enlargement of these services
would be at the cost of the MTRCA. The MTRCA will own and be responsible for the
services within the Brickworks Facility.
3. The sanitary pumping facility is to be designed and operated so that peak sanitary flows
do not exceed 11 litres per second. In addition, the City will install the water metre on
the domestic water service in the Brickworks Building and will be provided with secured
access and the right to read and maintain the metre on a regular basis and will bill
MTRCA for the amount of water consumed in accordance with current water rate
charges and sewer service charges as annually determined by City Council.
4. The MTRCA shall assume all liability for any loss, damage or injury, to property or
persons which would not have happened but for the installation of these services. The
MTRCA shall indemnify the Borough of East York and the City of Toronto against any
such loss, damage, or injury, except to the extent such liability is due to the negligence
of the Borough of East York and/or the City of Toronto.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
All costs associated with the required servicing will be charged to The Don Valley
Brickworks Project account code 113-30-344.

BACKGROUND
Resolution #A 131/95, Authority Meeting #4/95, May 26, 1995 approving the project.
Negotiations have been conducted with Mrs. Secord and her solicitor James Hunt, of the
firm Haffey, Sherwood, Hunt.
The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed the proposal and is in
concurrence with the acquisition of this property.
The subject holdings consist of the former residential conservation retreat of the late Dr.
Alan Secord and his wife, Ingeborg. Dr. Secord, a friend of the late Charles Sauriol and an
ardent conservationist over the years, along with his wife, zealously protected the property
from all negative intrusion. Dr. Secord included provision in his will for the possibility of
the land to be sold upon his death to a conservation organization.
The late Charles Sauriol, along with staff of the Authority and representatives of The
Charles Sauriol Environmental land Trust Committee met with Mrs. Ingeborg Secord on a
number of occasions during the past 4 years, in an attempt to have the lands preserved in
public ownership. The arrangement at hand is as a result of the culmination of Mr. Sauriol's
work and Mrs. Secord's generosity.
The Charles Sauriol Environmental land Trust 1997 Budget had included provision for
funding from public donations and the 1997 Charles Sauriol Environmental land Trust
Dinner to assist with this potential acquisition.
APRIL 11, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 897
Attached are plans showing the location of the subject lands. The 5.2 acres of existing
cemetery and the area for potential expansion are illustrated as Fields 1 and 2 on the plan of
the subject property.
RATIONALE
The subject property falls within the Authority's approved master plan for acquisition.
The subject holding has been appraised at $750,000.00.
This strategic conservation holding is situate in the headwaters of the West Duffins Creek.
The property is traversed by a portion of the creek with a spring fed pond, marsh areas,
wetland communities and low lying forest. The Authority has designated this area as the
North Glasgow Environmentally Significant Area.
This lowland serves a vital ecological function by maintaining the hydrological balance over
a widespread area. It contains over 30 plants with Boreal affinities, including several rare
and uncommon species. Brook Trout ISalvelinus fontinalisl have been identified inhabiting
the Duffins Creek, as the cool clear water of the Duffins Creek in this area appears to be
quite suitable for this fish species. This is significant as watercourses containing resident
populations of trout are not common, in the region. Found in this ESA were more than 1 75
plant species, 46 bird species, 8 mammal species and 5 amphibian. The Eastern White
Cedar (Thuja occidentalisl, is the area's dominant overstorey species. Regionally,
provincially and nationally rare species such as a sedge ICarex schweinitziil, and Spikerush
IEleocharis intermedial were found here with 5 other regionally rare plant species.
RESTRICTIONS
Dr. Alan Secord, in addition to being a conservationist was also a renowned veterinarian.
In concert with the Secord Veterinary Clinic, Dr. Secord and his wife, as a part of their
concern and love for animals, established a pet cemetery on the western portion of the
property.
It had been hoped during the negotiations, that an arrangement could be made to provide
for the ongoing use and viability of the Pet Cemetery. While extensive discussions were
carried out by Mrs. Secord and her solicitor with at least one group interested in the
possibility of utilizing the Pet Cemetery, no satisfactory arrangement has been concluded in
this regard to date.
The agreement as arranged allows Mrs. Secord the option of continuing these discussions
for another 12 month period if she wishes or simply conveying the entire holding to the
Authority.
898 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 APRIL 11, 1997
In the event the Authority acquires the entire holding, the Authority has the option of
allowing the cemetery to be left in its natural state or attempting to find an acceptable
group to continue the operation of the cemetery. The Pet Cemetery is not a cemetery as
defined under the Cemeteries Act of Ontario. There is no legal requirement for perpetual
care, as required in the Act. In the event that the Authority decides to lease or licence the
5.2 acres for Pet Cemetery purposes within 12 months from date of closing, any lump sum
payment or rents or other fees collected would be payable to the Vendor with the Authority
having the right to retain an amount to cover any and all expenses.
In accordance with the wishes of Mrs. Secord, a covenant will be included in the deed to
the effect that while fishing will be permitted, no hunting of fowl or animal wildlife will be
permitted.
The Conservation easement is being utilized to ensure that the lands will continue to be
utilized in perpetuity for conservation purposes. In light of recent changes to legislation by
the Province, concerns were expressed by Mrs. Secord that a mechanism be included to
ensure that in the event the Authority is dissolved or its objectives altered that the lands
continue to be utilized for conservation purposes. The easement as agreed upon will allow
for the Conservation features of the property to be protected in perpetuity.
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
It is proposed that certain buildings on the property be rented with the revenue being
utilized to cover taxes, insurance and maintenance of the property. A number of groups
with objectives compatible to the Authority have expressed an interest in working with the
Authority under licence or management agreement type of arrangements.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Funding for this acquisition will be charged to Account 004-12-502. It is proposed that this
purchase will be funded through the Charles Sauriol Environmental Land Trust and Land Sale
Revenue.

APRIL 11, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 8107
RES #B29/97- THE BEDFORD GROVE - SCATTERING OF ASHES
To respond to the Morley Bedford Funeral Home letter of September 30,
1996 requesting that the Authority reconsider its decision not to permit
the scattering of ashes on conservation lands.
Moved by: Lois Griffin
Seconded by: Jim McMaster
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS TO THE AUTHORITY THAT, as the regular or
routine scattering of created human remains on a specific area of land requires that the land
be established as a cemetery, the Authority not permit the scattering of cremated human
remains by the Morley Bedford Funeral Home within the William T. Foster Woods in
Kleinburg;
AND FURTHER THAT The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto be asked to advise
the Morley Bedford Funeral Home of this decision. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The issue with respect to the scattering of human remains on conservation lands was
considered by the Executive Committee at its meeting on October 11, 1996, at which time
the item was referred to the Authority.
At the Authority meeting on October 25, 1996, the following motion was made:
"That The Bedford Grove - Scattering of Ashes be referred back to staff until a
representative of Morley Bedford Funeral Home is present at the Authority meeting when
this item is being considered."
Lp-gal Opinion
Since the October 26,1996 Authority meeting, staff have obtained an opinion from the
Registrar, Cemeteries Act, of the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations. A copy
of this opinion is attached which, in summary, states:
"that the regular or routine scattering of cremated human remains on a specific area of
land requires that the land be established as a cemetery under the provisions of the
Cemeteries Act (Revised)."
In light of this interpretation and the legal opinion of the Authority's solicitors, Gardiner,
Roberts, copy attached, that the Authority ought not to proceed with this project because
of the apparent risks involved, staff feel that it is not necessary for a representative of the
Morley Bedford Funeral Home to be present before a decision on this item is made.
8108 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 APRIL 11, 1997
The recommendations of the staff are based on the assumption that the Authority would
not wish to create or maintain a cemetery within the William T. Foster Woods, and that
Kleinburg residents, the McMichael Gallery and Mr. Foster's family would not be receptive
to a cemetery within the William T. Foster Woods.

REGISTRARS INTERPRET A TION BULLETIN February 1997
CEMETERIES ACT (REVISED)
Intended to Identify the Registrar's Interpretation respecting
certain proVIsions of the Cemetenes Act (ReVised,)
Issue: The regular or routine scattering of cremated human remains on a specific
area of land.
Interpretation: The regular or routine scattering of cremated human remains
on a specific area of land requires that the land be established
as a cemetery under the provisions of the Cemeteries Act
(Revised.) - The Act
ThiS interpretation IS based on, Section 1 - definitions and Section 47 Additional
relevant sections Include bunal site provIsions of the Act.
Section 1. - Definitions,
"cemetery" means land set aside to be used for the Interment of human remains
and includes a mausoleum, columbarium or other structure intended for the
interment of human remains;
"human remains" means a dead human body and includes a cremated human
body;
"inter" means the burial of human remains and includes the plaCing of human
remains In a lot;
"lot" means an area of land In a cemetery containing, or set aside to contain,
human remains and includes a tomb, crypt or compartment in a mausoleum and
a niche or compartment in a columbarium:
Section 47.
No person shall inter human remains except in a cemetery that has been
consented to by the Registrar and is owned by an owner licensed under this Act.

B110 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 APRIL 11, 1997
'<..,~-
-
Section 47 requires that the bunal of human remains (cremated or not) may only be
done in a cemetery that has been consented to by the Registrar and is owned by an
owner licensed under this Act.
A routine or regular scattering of cremated human remains on a specific area of land
will cause the land to, at some pOint "contain human remains." In practical terms, this
will be either as a result of the turning of soil for plantlngl maintenance purposes or by
scattering new remains on top of previously scattered remains.
As such interring - the placing of cremated human remains in a lot - an area of land
containing or set aside to contain human remainS, invokes the requirements set out in
section 47, specifically that such interring may only be done in a cemetery that has
been consented to by the Registrar and is owned by an owner licensed under this Act.
The Cemeteries Act (Revised) regulates the operation of Ontario cemeteries to ensure
consumer protection and the protection of the those places that are designated as a
place for the final disposition of human remains. The Act does this by setting out a
number of requirements including: the licensing of cemetery owners and sales
representatives; procedures to establish alter, operate and where necessary close
cemeteries; requirements for public access, record keeping; the establishment of care
and maintenance accounts to ensure upkeep of the cemetery into perpetuity; public
access to records,
For all the above reasons it is the opinion of the Registrar that the regular or
routine scattering of cremated human remains on a specific area of land requires
that the land be established as a cemetery under the provisions of the
Cemeteries Act (Revised.)
Additional Relevant Sections
"burial site" means land containing human remains that has not been approved
or consented to as a cemetery in accordance with this Act or a predecessor of
this Act;
The Bunal Site proviSions are relevant in that where land contains human remains
(cremated or not) and that land has not been approved or consented to as a cemetery
in accordance with the CemeterIes Act or a predecessor of the Act then the land is by
definition a bunal site and subject to the requirements of the Act as related to burial
sites. Such requirements include protection of the site, investigation of the origin of the
remains and possible relocation to a cemetery or establishing the site as a cemetery.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prnrn~;:!I:
The proposal consists of constructing a span-type bridge over the Centreville Creek, as part
of a new driveway to access a proposed house site west of the watercourse. There are
presently no registered fill lines for this portion of the Humber River watershed; however,
this area has been included in the Authority's on-going Fill Regulation Extension Program.
8126 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 APRIL 11, 1997
Cnntrnl nf Flnnding'
There is no flood plain mapping presently available for the Centreville Creek at this site.
However, the watercourse drains an area greater than 125 hectares upstream of this
property. In staff's opinion, the site of the proposed single family dwelling is not situated
within, the Regional Storm flood plain. Even though the proposed bridge will be located
within the flood plain, the structure will span the watercourse, with the footings setback
four metres from the channel. The applicant has also agreed to install the entire driveway
as close to existing grade as possible, with some additional fill material needed for the
approach ramps on either side of the proposed bridge.
Pnlllltinn'
Silt fencing will be installed immediately adjacent to the bridge foundation work areas to
prevent the migration of any construction-generated sediment into the watercourse.
Cnn~p.rv::ltinn nf L ::md'
The bridge and a portion of the proposed driveway will be constructed within an
Environmentally Significant Area (ESA 37 - Caledon East Forest). Staff had previously
walked the route of the driveway and the applicant has agreed to confine the entrance road
to an existing clearing; this alignment will result in minimal impacts to the forest vegetation
and will not effect the natural function of the ESA. In addition, the driveway will be
comprised of granular material and the disturbed area around the bridge foundations will be
vegetated with native trees, shrubs, and wild flowers which are compatible with the
surrounding forest species. There are no defined valley slopes evident at this site.

Prnrn~::II:
The proposal consists of constructing an addition to an existing industrial building, and
placing fill in conjunction with the construction of a retaining wall, as well as installing 2
new storm sewer outfalls to an adjacent watercourse. The property is located within the Fill
Regulated Area and Regional Storm flood plain of the Etobicoke Creek, as well as the

r.nntrnl nf Flnnning'
The proposed addition will be floodproofed to above the 350 year storm flood elevation
which is the minimum level for flood protection of proposed buildings as specified within the
Brampton SPA. The volume of fill placement behind the retaining wall has been requested
from the project consultant. Once in receipt of the total volume of fill proposed for this site,
staff will determine whether any impacts to flood storage will occur. If excessive, staff will
ensure that the quantity of fill be reduced to minimize any impacts to the flood plain.
Pnlllltinn'
Silt fencing will be installed between the work site and the adjacent watercourse. Sediment
traps (ie. coffer dams) will be implemented to control sediment at the outfalls to the
watercourse. In addition, water quality enhancement will be achieved by the installation of
a stormceptor within the proposed storm sewer system to remove oils, greases and heavy
particles prior to outletting into the receiving watercourse.

To construct a twin 2.4 x 1.8 m culvert crossing of a tributary of the Humber River (East
Branch) and to construct two water quality facilities in order to facilitate the development of
two draft plans of subdivision (19T -88107; 19T -92003)
r.nntrnl nf Flnnciing'
The proposed ponds are designed to provide water quality control to the development area
(25mm - 24 hour detention). Water quantity control is not required as the proposed
development is estate residential and does not significantly increase post-development
flows. The works are in conformance with an approved stormwater management report for
the site. The twin culverts for the proposed Wood hill Avenue crossing have been designed
to convey Regional Storm flows (using the existing hydraulic model).

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prnrn~::ll:
The proposal consists of placing fill for lot grading purposes and the construction of a
connecting trail between the proposed residential development (subdivision 19T-95090) and
the existing municipal park located on the valley floor. Only the eastern third of the site
(including the valley slope) is situated within the Fill Reguled Area of the Rainbow Creek.
Cnntrnl nf Flnnding'
The entire site is located outside the Regional Storm flood plain. The approved storm water
management scheme specifies that post development flows will match pre-development
runoff for the 2 through 100 year storm events.
Pnllutinn'
Water quality enhancement for the development will include lot level controls (ie. roof leader
runoff directed to rear lot grassed swales) and the installation of a stormceptor within the
proposed storm sewer system, prior to storm drainage entering the existing storm sewer
along Highway #7. Silt fencing will be installed along the top-of-bank of the Rainbow Creek
valley; additional fencing has been requested along the valley slope, adjacent to the
proposed trail work.
Cnn~p-rv::ltinn nf I ::lnd'
All grading associated with the development of the residential subdivision will be restricted
to the tableland portion of the property. Proposed residential buildings will be setback a
minimum 7.5 m from the physical top-of-bank. The trail along the valley wall will entail
some cutting and grading to achieve a gradient suitable for access by the physically
challenged. However, staff feel that the existing stable slope in this area of the Rainbow
Creek valley will not be adversely impacted provided that proper soil compaction occurs
during construction of the trail and that sheet runoff over the top-of-bank is prevented;
further information from the project consultant has been requested in this regard. The
valley slope portion of the lands is currently grassed with no trees or shrubs. The proponent
APRIL 11, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 8131

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proro~al :
The applicant is proposing to construct a storm water management pond and storm sewer
outlet to the Rouge River in order to control and treat storm water from the proposed
residential plan of subdivision by Buttonglade Developments Inc. located on the west side of
Woodbine Avenue, south of 16th Avenue in the Town of Markham.
Control of Flooning.
The grading for the storm water management pond is to begin 10m back from the staked,
stable 'top-of-bank'. The pond is located on the tableland; therefore, it will not interfere
with the Regional Storm flood plain.
.
8136 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 APRIL 11, 1997
Pnlll/tinn'
During construction of the pond and the subdivision, all sediment will remain on-site with
sediment and erosion control being accounted for through a variety of methods including:
snowfence and filter fabric sediment shield erected around the perimeter of the site and the
storm water management facility; mud mats will be provided at strategic construction
access/egress locations; clear stone and filter cloth sediment traps will be installed on all
street and rear yard catch basins.
The detention pond will also be utilized as a temporary sedimentation control facility until
completion of the construction of the subdivision.
Cnn~ervatinn nf Lann'
The pond is to be constructed in an open field adjacent to a golf course. There are no
significant resource features on the site. The proposed grading for the pond is occurring
10m back from the staked 'top-of-bank' with marginal grading occurring on the valley
slopes to accommodate the construction of the outfall. Landscape plans and a slope
stability study are forthcoming. The Rouge River is type one habitat. The pond control
structure sizing and outfall are designed to meet water quality criteria (temperature and
sediment) for this habitat.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prnpn~al:
In order to access a proposed residential development from Highway #7, a right hand turn
lane is to be constructed and will necessitate a 3.5 m extension of an existing box culvert
over a tributary of German Mills Creek. In order to minimise impacts of grading into the
stream corridor and into the channel itself, a retaining wall is to be constructed. This
retaining wall will link up to an existing wall immediately adjacent to the culvert, and to the
proposed culvert headwall. The wall will be approximately 15 m long and a maximum of
4.5 m high where it joins the existing retaining wall which is 5.5 m high.
cnntrnl nf Flnnning'
The new culvert is designed to convey the same flow as the existing culvert. There will be
no measurable increase in flood risk because of this proposal.
Pnlll/tinn'
All work will be done in the dry by pumping the flow around the work site. All disturbed
areas will be stabilized with seed, sod or mulch immediately following the work.
cnn~ervatinn nf I ::Inn'
Our staff have reviewed the design of the retaining wall and are satisfied that it will be
stable. Plantings will be done on the new graded slopes and over the retaining wall to
enhance stability and obscure the wall from the valley.

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prnpn~al:
As part of Metro's on-going works to upgrade the Don Valley Parkway, the applicant is
proposing to replace existing catchbasin connections at 38 sites, reline the outfall pipes at
six sites and construct new head walls at 14 locations along the Don Valley Parkway
between Lawrence Avenue East and 380m south of Span bridge Road. The majority of the
sites are located within the Fill Regulated Area with ten sites partially located within the
flood plain. Eight of the ten sites were identified as areas where there were possible impact
associated with the works. It was determined that the head walls at five of these sites
located at the Lawrence Avenue west ramps, needed to be pulled away from the
watercourse and the disturbed area stabilized through seeding and mulching. The remaining
three sites located 330m south of Spanbridge Road are on a stable 3H: 1 V slope
approximately 15m high. Washout has occurred at these locations due to the degradation
of the pipes and subsequent water seepage. The proposed works will replace the pipe and
headwall, restore the slope and stabilize it further with the planting of native woody
species.
cnntrnl nf Flnnning'
No grade changes are proposed within the Regional Storm flood plain.
Pnlll/tinn'
Sediment fences will be placed between the works at all sites and the Don River to prevent
any sediment entering the watercourse.
cnn~ervatinn nf Lann'
Through this proposal an opportunity has been identified to provide water quality treatment
at some of the storm outfall sites. This opportunity will be examined through
implementation of the Don Strategy. All vegetation removed during the construction
process will be replaced following the completion of the said works.

BACKGROUND
As part of the provincial government's effort to reduce red tape and eliminate duplication as
it affects the development industry, The Development Charges Act, 1990, is to be replaced
by a new Act (1996). The Standing Committee on Resources Development is currently
hearing submissions with respect to the new legislation. The deadline for presentation at
the hearing has passed, however, written submissions are being received until April 17.
8152 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2/97 APRIL 11, 1997
It has come to the attention of Authority staff that certain changes proposed in the
legislation may put a significant financial burden on municipalities. This may, in turn, affect
the Authority's ability to achieve its objectives specific to the green infrastructure and the
management of storm water. Staff believes the deficiencies and implications of the
legislation with respect to these matters need to be brought to the attention of the Standing
Committee.
Gardiner, Roberts and C.N. Watson and Associates Ltd. have been working with the
Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers in analysing and evaluating the impacts of
the new legislation on municipalities. They have developed a comprehensive understanding
of the new legislation and its implications. The interests of the Authority relate directly to
specific components of municipal infrastructure. It would be beneficial to have the
experience and insight of Gardiner, Roberts and C.N. Watson and Associates Ltd. to assist
in the preparation of an Authority submission to the Standing Committee.

MAY 9,1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/97 8157
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting # 1/97 held on April 4, 1997, Resolution #41/97 was adopted which
stated:
MTHA T staff pursue the implementation of the Community Action Sites in
conjunction with the appropriate agencies, interest and community groups
that nominated these sites"
Sun Row Park, located in the City of Etobicoke, is one of these Community Action Sites. A
Steering Committee has been formed to direct implementation efforts at the park. Members
on the Committee include representation from the community, City of Etobicoke, Ministry of
Environment and Energy, Ministry of Natural Resources and the Authority.
Erosion control and storm water management were priority issues identified by the
community for the Sun Row Park area. To address these issues, the Steering Committee is
currently drafting a Terms of Reference for an erosion control and storm water management
study for the Humber Creek subwatershed, of which Sun Row Park is a part. The study
will:
- identify areas where storm water management control options can be
incorporated within the drainage system of Humber Creek as a whole; and
- identify and evaluate alternative design concepts for the rehabilitation of
Humber Creek within Sun Row Park
It is anticipated that final tender documents and contract drawings for preferred options will
also be produced as part of the study. Pending the rehabilitation options identified,
construction may begin in the Fall of 1997.
RA TIONALE
To complete the proposed study and implement some of the works in 1997, appropriate
technical resources must be secured. The City of Etobicoke and Authority are providing
funding to complete the study and, pending the rehabilitation options identified, implement
some of the remedial work in the Fall of 1997. A Memorandum of Agreement will outline
the roles and responsibilities of both agencies as they pertain to the completion of the study
and potential remedial works.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The total cost of the project in 1997 is estimated to be $95,000. The 1997 expenditures
will be comprised of design costs and some construction. Additional construction will be
required in future years. -The total cost of the'study is estimated to be $30,000. Because
the specifics of the rehabilitation options will not be known until the study is complete, it is
not possible to establish an exact cost for the total project.
B158 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/97 MAY 9,1997
Funding for the study and remedial works will be provided by the City of Etobicoke and
Authority. Contributions have also been sought from Environment Canada ($10,000) and
Canada Trust ($15,000) to bring the total project estimate to $95,000 in 1997. In-kind
contributors to the project include community members, local schools and universities,
naturalist groups, the City of Etobicoke and the Authority.
Funds for the Authority's portion of the project are available in account number 113-63.
The Authority's contribution in 1997 will not exceed $45,000 in accordance with the
approved Authority budget.

BACKGROUND
In the fall of 1996, a committee of Authority members and staff met to develop proposals
for the celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Metro Region Conservation. As a result of
their meeting, a series of recommendations were proposed. At Authority Meeting # 11/96,
the recommendations were_ considered and the following action taken:
MAY 9,1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/97 8159
MRES. #A242/96
- THA T staff be directed to identify sources of funding and incorporate the opening of
the MWilliam Granger Greenway" into a June event;
THA T the Service Recognition A wards for members, and gold awards for staff with
25 years, be presented at the Annual Meeting;
THA T, in celebration of 40 years of conservation, the Authority offer to plant a tree
for each of its member municipalities (local and regional) in front of their City Hall;
AND FURTHER THA T arrangements be made to provide an opportunity for the
Authority member(s) from each area to assist the Mayor/Chair with the tree planting.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. CARRIED
Further to this direction, staff is proceeding with arrangements for the designation of the
"William Granger Greenway", that portion of the Humber Trial joining Boyd Conservation
Area with the McMichael Art Collection. It is proposed to hold the full Authority Meeting,
June 27, 1997 at the 80yd Conservation Field Centre and to designate the trail following
the meeting.
The Service Recognition Awards were presented at the Annual Meeting, which was
expanded from its usual format and used as an opportunity to launch our 40th year. In
addition to the usual elements, a review of the Authority's 40 years of conservation work
"MILESTONES" was prepared as a slide show and has been converted into a video for use
throughout the year. A new corporate exhibit was prepared and displayed. This also will be
used throughout the year and beyond. Fortieth Anniversary mementoes included, pens.
notepads and letter openers. Lunch was provided. Funds for this event were available
within the Communications budget.
To implement the recommendation to plant trees at 24 local and regional municipal offices,
staff identified the locations involved and prepared an estimate of costs. It is estimated that
the planting of a tree, suitably identified with a weatherproof plaque, would be in excess of
$28,000. Recognizing both the current financial limitations of the Authority and the desire
to recognize the long time and continuing support of its member and local municipalities,
staff is suggesting that an alternative to the planting of trees be considered.
The purpose of the symbolic tree planting was to demonstrate the Authority's appreciation
to its member and local municipalities. Staff recommends that, as an alternative, a framed
Certificate of Appreciation commemorating our 40th Anniversary and recognizing their
continuing support for the work of the Authority in watershed management be prepared and
presented to each of the 24 member and local municipalities.

The costs associated with the preparation of the framed Certificates are estimated at $250.

B166 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/97 MAY 9,1997
BACKGROUND
The lease renewal in this instance is the continuance of an existing arrangement originally
approved by the members of the Authority in July 1987.
Authority staff had considerable input in the discussions between the Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto and the City of Etobicoke, regarding the establishment of this bus loop
and all Authority concerns relating to park and waterfront uses and are being
accommodated in the tentative agreement. The bus loop has functioned well over the initial
period while improving public transit access to the Humber Bay Parks.
The location of this bus loop is in the immediate vicinity of the Authority Motel Strip Project
and provision is being included in the renewal agreement to deal with this issue, whereby
the bus loop may have to be relocated prior to the expiry of this renewal agreement, in
order to accommodate the construction of Waterfront Drive.
RA TIONALE
The management of these lands is compatible with the Authority's objectives and Metro
Toronto's operation of the Humber Bay Parks.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
In accordance with the terms and conditions of the management agreement, no revenue or
expense will be incurred in this instance by the Authority.

BACKGROUND
The Authority, during the process of reviewing the potential disposal of land on the east
side of Islington Avenue south of Rutherford Road contacted The Regional Municipality of
York (the Region) for comments. The Region at that time advised the Authority that it was
proposing to widen Islington Avenue to 5 lanes at this location and was interested in
acquiring two strips of land on the east side of Islington Avenue.
B170 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/97 MAY 9,1997
At meeting #6/96, held on July 26, 1996 the Authority approved the sale of 21.909 acres,
more or less of land to Blackplate Investments Inc. (now Islington Woods Developments
Ltd.) and Father Claudio Moser, In Trust. Father Claudio Moser, In Trust was unable to
satisfy conditions of the transaction and the transaction was terminated in December, 1996.
Islington Woods Developments Ltd. under the term of their Agreement of Purchase and Sale
assumed the purchase of the entire 21.909 acres at that time.
One of the condition of the transaction is that the Authority obtain a severance of the site
from remaining Authority holdings at this location. On October 24, 1996 the Committee of
Adjustment for the City of Vaughan approved the severance subject to a number of
conditions. One of the conditions of the severance was that the Authority convey to the
Region a road widening along the entire frontage of the site adjacent to Islington Avenue, of
sufficient width to provide 18.0 metres from the centreline of Islington Avenue. Presently
the Region has at least 18.0 metres from centreline along the entire site with the exception
of a small fragment at the south end of the site. This conveyance will satisfy the condition.
The subject lands were purchased from Dr. E. Boyd at market value on June 20, 1956 under
the Boyd Conservation Area Project.
RA TIONAL
The conveyance of this parcel of will allow for the completion of the transaction with
Islington Woods Developments Ltd. The Islington Woods Developments Ltd. matter will be
the subject of an OMB Hearing in July 1997. The Region will require this fragment for a
road widening whether the budget proceeds or not.

B174 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/97 MAY 9,1997
BACKGROUND
Members may recall that staff had a number of meetings with area residents and officials of
the Town of Pickering regarding amending the Authority's acquisition project boundary in
the Rodd AvenuelBella Vista Drive area. A plan was brought forward reflecting the
communities input on the revised acquisition boundaries and process for disposal of the
resulting surplus Authority lands. At Meeting #4/96 held on May 31, 1996, the Authority
adopted Resolution #A99/96, declaring that various parcels of Authority-owned tablelands,
including 5 lots improved with single family homes, (included in these is 531 Rodd Avenue)
and three vacant parcels, be surplus to the future requirements of the Authority and
recommending that preference be given whenever possible to sales or exchanges being
made at market value to former owners, tenants, remaining private owners and abutting
owners within the amended acquisition boundary.
In accordance with the provisions of Resolution #A99/96, and as outlined in the staff report
regarding the disposal process adopted by the Executive Committee at Meeting # 12/96,
January 10, 1997, under Resolution #B205/96 staff in consultation with the Authority
solicitor and an independent appraiser has initiated the disposal process as follows:
The priority of potential purchasers be:
1 ) Former owners
2) Tenants
3) Remaining Private Owners situate within the amended boundary which will
include abutting property owners
4) General public
The former owners were either contacted directly if an address could be found or best
efforts were made to contact them through the solicitor who acted on their behalf at the
time of the purchase by the Authority. None of the former owners that we were able to
contact have expressed interest in their former property. The five tenants have also been
contacted and two of them have expressed an interest in acquiring the property. An
agreement has been reached with the tenants at 531 Rodd Avenue which is conditional
upon acceptable financing being arranged. The offer at hand is in accordance with the
appraised value range of an independent evaluation obtained by the Authority.
A map showing the location of the subject lands is appended.
RA TIONALE
The subject land has been declared surplus by the Authority.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
It is proposed that the proceeds from this sale be used in the funding of the purchase of
priority properties within the Authority's Acquisition Project.

7.1.2 JAMES F. WICKS
To place fill within a regulated area on Part Lot 31, Concession 7, (5970 19th
Avenue), in the Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed as located on
property owned by same.
The purpose is to place a septic system within the Fill Regulated Area in order to support a
new dwelling being constructed on the property outside of the regulated area.
The permit will be issued for the period of May 9, 1997 to May 8, 1999 in accordance with
the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
(1 ) Redlined Septic System Drawing; submitted by applicant; Ref. Appl. 4M97; dated

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
A septic bed is proposed to be located on the valley floor approximately 15 m (50 ft.) from
the top of an eroding stream bank of the Rouge River in the Fill Regulated Area but outside
of the flood plain. This is as far away from the watercourse as possible and in an area that
is relatively flat with little vegetation on site where there will be minimal impact. A new
dwelling is being located on the tableland outside of the regulated area; however, there is
not enough area remaining on the tableland for the septic system. This development is
consistent with the neighbouring properties with respect to the location of the proposed
dwelling and septic system.
Control of Flooding:
The works are occurring outside of the Regional Storm flood plain with no change in grade
occurring within the Fill Regulated Area. These works will not affect the control of flooding.
Pollution:
The site will be stabilized through seeding or sodding following the completion of the works.
Conservation of Land:
The stream bank adjacent to the site is eroding. The Little Rouge River Restoration Project
has plans to restore this streambank within the year with plantings. This will allow for
stabilization of the streambank.
Policv Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program - Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Propnsal:
The proposal consists of constructing two storm sewer outfalls outletting to a tributary of
the Etobicoke Creek as part of the reconstruction of Tilbury Court. The subject watercourse
is a drainage channel that was constructed when this area of Brampton was originally
developed for industrial uses. The watercourse is not presently fill regulated; however, fill
lines are proposed to encircle the channel as part of the Authority's on-going Fill Regulation
Extension Program.
Cnntrol nf Flnnriing'
This tributary of the Etobicoke Creek drains an upstream area of less than 125 hectares.
Pnlllltinn'
The road reconstruction work will include the installation of storm sewers which will replace
the existing grassed swales on either side of the roadway. In consultation with The City of
Brampton Works and Transportation Department, Authority staff has suggested leaving the
existing grassed ditches between the storm sewer catch basins for added water quality
enhancement. The submitted drawings detail the retention of roadside grassed swales
along the proposed storm sewer route on both sides of Tilbury Court. Other water quality
controls have been previously implemented by the installation of oil and grit separator
catch basins on each industrial lot abutting Tilbury Court. As part of the in-stream work at
the two outfall locations, a rock check dam will be installed immediately downstream of the
work site to trap construction-generated sediments.
Cnn~f!rvatinn nf I ::mri'
400 to 600 millimetre diameter field boulders will be placed within the watercourse for
erosion protection at the outfalls, as well as to enhance aquatic habitat. The disturbed
riparian zone around the outfall areas will be rehabilitated with native shrubs.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
The Region of Peel is proposing to replace deteriorating culverts at 2 sites within the
Humber River watershed. The culvert at the Gore Road (Lindsay Creek Tributary) will be
replaced by an open footing rigid frame structure. The culvert at Old Church Road
(Centreville Creek) will be replaced with two corrugated steel pipe arch culverts.
Control of Floodinl;r
There will be no increase in flood levels since the existing hydraulic openings will be
maintained by the proposed culverts and road grades will remain unchanged. Authority
staff has reviewed and accepted a hydraulic analysis prepared by the project consultant
confirming this matter.
Pollution:
Both culvert replacements will be constructed "in the dry" through the use of a temporary
diversion channel around the work area capable of conveying a five year peak flow. Silt
fencing and check dams will be implemented for additional sediment control.
Conservation of Land:
The culvert replacement requires mitigation for fisheries. The invert of the culverts will be
lined with river run -stone to"enhance aquatic habitat. Native trees and shrubs will
rehabilitate the disturbed portions of riparian zone of both sites. All other disturbed areas
will be seeded with a rapid growth soil stabilizer following construction.

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
In order to service two residential subdivisions the applicant is proposing to construct a
storm water qualitylquantity pond in the valley corridor of the Rouge River. The pond is
designed to provide water quality treatment, erosion protection and control flows up to the
5 year storm. This criteria is in compliance with an approved Environmental Master
Servicing Plan undertaken for OPA 135 in Richmond Hill.
Control of Flooding:
The pond will be excavated into the valley floor just at the edge of the Regional Storm flood
plain limit. There will be no impacts on the control of flooding.
Pollution:
A sediment fence will be erected around the work site to control sediment. All disturbed
areas will be stabilised with grass seed, sod or mulch immediately following grading.
Conservation of Land:
The pond abuts Leslie Street, the embankment of which forms the valley wall. Regrading
required for the pond will not affect the stability of the valley wall as it exists today or
following the proposed upgrade of Leslie Street through this area.
There is no significant vegetation at the site of the pond; however, a significant stand of
cedars is located immediately adjacent to the pond site. These cedars are sustained by
ground water which flows close to the surface through the pond site. In order to maintain
the flow of groundwater to the cedars, an interception trench will be constructed around
the pond. The design of the trench will also ensure that contaminated storm water does not
reach the ground water system. Clean ground water is critical for the survivability of young
fish.
The Rouge River through this reach provides significant fish habitat. The pond is to be
located 40 to 50 metres from the watercourse. The outfall channel is designed as a french
drain to help cool the storm water before it enters the watercourse.
Native trees and shrubs will be planted around the pond and outfall channel and in all
disturbed areas.
Policv Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 4.3 - .Infrastructure and Servicing.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
As part of the Little Rouge Restoration Project an on-line pond is proposed to be taken
off-line to improve fish habitat and provide for fish passage. The work will be done by
volunteer groups and in cooperation with the Region of York.
The existing pond is on the north side of Stouffville Sideroad east of Kennedy Road. There
is a second pond on the south side of the road which is privately owned.
Phase one of the project will be undertaken this spring. Water in the pond is to be drawn
down to the level of the sediment-water interface, in a controlled manner, by replacing the
existing outlet pipe with a smaller pipe. When the water reaches the appropriate level, a
channel will be constructed along the east side within the limit of the pond. The pond and
channel area will be separated by building a small berm and stabilising it using fascines
(plantingsl. The channel of the watercourse will be formed and also stabilized using
fascines.
B196 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/97 MAY 9,1997
Phase two of the work will be conducted in the early summer. The culverts controlling the
level of the water in the pond will be removed drawing the pond down to the lowest
possible level. The final separation of the pond and channel will be completed by
constructing a berm at the downstream end of the pond and constructing an inlet control to
the pond at the upstream end. The pond will be excavated out and habitat structures
installed. This work will be done in cooperation with the Region of York who will be
replacing the culvert under Stouffville Road at the same time.
Phase three will be completed in the summer and fall and will entail planting and habitat
enhancements. Through the second and third phases, the channel works will be monitored
and adjusted as needed.
Control of Floodino:
The works will not affect the control of flooding.
Pollution:
It is expected that some sediment will be travelling downstream during this work. It will be
minimised by controlling the rate of draw down of the pond and by installing a sediment
fence between the new channel and the pond area in phase one. The downstream land
owner understands that the work is proceeding and that some sediment may enter his pond
as a result of the work. Authority staff, MNR staff and the consultant managing the project
are working with this landowner to ensure that his pond is in satisfactory condition
following the work.
Conservation of Land:
The works represent a net benefit to fish habitat and the over all health of the watershed,
and are in compliance with the objectives of the Rouge Fisheries Management Plan and the
Rouge Park Plan. The Ministry of Natural Resources is supportive of the project.
Policv Guidelines:
The works meet the objective of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 5.4 - Corridor Rehabilitation Projects.

B200 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/97 MAY 9,1997
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to construct an addition onto a home located on the bluff. The
existing house is a single storey structure with a finished walkout basement. An approval
was given in 1995 by this Authority to allow the construction of an in-ground pool and
landscaping on the bluff side of the house. From the pool area the lot slopes approximately
78 m to the edge of the bluff straight back from the rear (south) of the house. Thirty-two
metres to the south west is a stable gully feature. Approximately 61 metres to the
southeast and east of the property limit is a second gully that is actively eroding.
The addition includes two small extensions to the front of the house away from the bluff
and one on the southwest corner facing the stable gully. This addition extends
approximately 3 m closer to the bluff but is further back than the house and landscaping of
the property to the west. A full basement is to be excavated under the new additions, and
a second storey added to both the existing and proposed first floor. The size of the house
will increase from 2664 sq. ft. to 5864 sq. ft.
Control of Flooding:
The site of the proposed additions is not in the flood plain.
Pollution:
The proposed works will not result in pollution.
Conservation of Land:
Although the existing structure is a considerable distance back from the edge of the bluff,
this is the highest part of the bluff measuring approximately 100 metres high for this
section of the shoreline. The Integrated Shoreline Management Plan recognises this unique
land feature and recommends protection in its natural state. There are no plans to stabilise
the toe of the bluff at this location. The limit of the 2(H) : 1 (V) stable slope line bisects the
existing house. Because of this staff were initially concerned with the potential impact of
the erosion of the bluff on this structure.
A geotechnical report was commissioned by the proponent which demonstrated that erosion
at the toe of the slope directly to the rear of the house, and the west gully, had arrested
because of beach build up caused by Bluffers Park. It also demonstrated that the soils were
stable at an angle steeper than 2: 1. As a result of these characteristics, both the stable
slope line and the 100 year erosion limit were measured to the rear of the house (bluff side).
Staff are satisfied with the'results"Of the geotechnical report for the following reasons:
. the proposal is a modification to an existing structure;
. the existing and proposed structure is beyond the stable slope and 100 year erosion
limit;
and are prepared to recommend approval of this proposal.
MAY 9,1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/97 8201
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal is in compliance with the Authority's Shoreline Management Program and the
Implementation Guidelines for the Provincial Policy Statement.

1. LaFarge Asphalt Plant Storm Sewer Channel; prepared by G.M. Sernas &
Associates Ltd.; Project 96054; Drawing P-101; received April 16, 1997.
RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prooosal:
The applicant is proposing to install two 50 m long, 1350 mm pipes in an overland flow
channel to provide access across their works yard. This channel is not a watercourse but a
storm water conveyance channel designed to carry flows up to a 100 year storm event.
The site is within the Regional Storm flood plain and the Special Policy Area for Ajax. There
will be no change in grade.
Control of Flooding:
The culverts will carry the 100 year storm flows without causing water to overtop the
channel.
Pollution:
The works will be done under dry conditions, and all disturbed areas stabilised with grass
seed, sod or mulch immediately following the installation
Conservation of Land:
There are no significant resource features on the site that will be affected by this work.

RES. #B60/97 - TENDER OPENING SUB-COMMITTEE TENDER ES-97-12
Tender Report #5/97 for the Rental of Heavy Construction Equipment
and Operator
The Tender Opening Sub-Committee opened tenders for the supply of
heavy construction equipment and operators on April 11, 1997. The
tenders received were referred to staff for review and report.
Moved by: Richard Whitehead
Seconded by: Patrick Abtan
THA T the Watershed Management Division utilize, as required, the service of Sartor and
Susin Limited for the rental of construction equipment with operators during 1997 that
being the lowest quotation received;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized to use the attached list to select additional
equipment based 0 the next lowest tender if the need arises. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
A request for tenders was placed in the Daily Commercial News.
The rental of the construction equipment with operator is to be utilized by the Watershed
Management Division in carrying out the 1997 work programs.
Our decision regarding the low quotation is based on our comparison of a list of equipment
commonly used in our work which would give us the best package over the 1997 work
period. A total of 11 tenders were received. The submission from Don Cordingly Grade All
was discarded due to the fact that they did not quote on the pertinent equipment. Our
analysis of the quotations, which are attached for your information, indicates that the
submission from Sartor and Susin Limited is the lowest quotation received.
MAY 9,1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/97 8203
In the event that Sartor and Susin Limited cannot supply all our equipment needs during the
peak construction periods, we feel it would be prudent to be able to use the attached list to
select equipment from the company which provides the next lowest tender price. This will
be dependant on what equipment is specified and will help ensure that equipment is always
available.

RES. #B62/97 - COMPUTER WORK STATIONS
Award of Request for Quotation
This report recommends the naming of suppliers of computer
workstations and related components.
Moved by: Patrick Abtan
Seconded by: Michael Di Biase
THA T Amsdell Incorporated of Richmond Hill, Ontario, be named primary supplier of record
for computer work stations and related components, it being the lowest quotation received
which meets the Authority's specification;
That Greff Direct Computer Corporation and Corporate Network Computer Solutions, being
the second and third lowest quotations received, be named suppliers of record for computer
work stations and related components;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to review regularly specifications and pricing of
computer work stations and related components to ensure optimal value and technological
effectiveness. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
On April 9, 1997, twelve vendors were requested to provide a quotation for the supply of
computer work stations and related components for use within the Authority. Seven
vendors responded to the request for quotation.
The twelve companies that sent documents were Corporate Network Computer Solutions,
Amsdell Inc., Greff Direct Computer Corp., Ashawa Computer Inc., Hewitt Rand, BSW
Computer Services Inc., Infinity Technologies Inc., Dell Computer Corporation, Symtech
Canada Inc., Nexsys Corporation, Compugen Systems Ltd., and FEC Computers Inc.
The following companies did not respond to the request for quotation: Dell Computer
Corporation, Symtech Canada Inc., Nexsys Corporation, Compugen Systems Ltd., and FEe
Computers Inc.
ANAL YSIS
The seven companies who submitted were evaluated in terms of their ability to meet the
specifications and the unit prices submitted. These seven companies were: Corporate
Network Computer Solutions, Amsdelllnc., Greff Direct Computer Corp., Ashawa Computer
Inc., Hewitt Rand, BSW Computer Systems Inc., and Infinity Technologies Inc.
MAY 9,1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/97 8209
Copies of the detailed specifications are available should any member wish to receive them.
Amsdell Inc. provided the lowest quotation meeting the Authority's detailed computer
hardware specifications. The unit bids can be summarized as follows:
Amsdell Greff CNCS Ashawa Hewitt SSW Infinity Infinity
Rand HP NEe
1 unit $1 ,407 - $1,481.19- $1,655 $1,678- $1,825 $1,842 $2,195 $2,219
*These prices were adjusted in order to compare like products. The adjustment reflects an
additional $28 (price based on information from Amsdell), to provide for a true "boxed" Intel
Central Processing Unit, a motherboard with the Intel 82430HX chipset, and a Video card
based on a Trident 9680 chipset.
In recommending that Amsdell Inc. be named primary supplier of record, staff of the
Authority have considered the following:
- the company started in 1993;
- the company has been a supplier of personal computers to the Legislative Assembly
of Ontario and The Regional Municipality of Niagara and was highly endorsed by staff
at these organizations;
- although the Amsdell product is a "clone" staff is satisfied that the components used
to produce the products are broadly supported and accepted as a standard in the
computer industry.
The pricing of computer work stations and related components fluctuates considerably. To
ensure that the Authority is able to get the best prices at the right time, staff recommend
two additional companies, Greff Direct Computer Corporation and Corporate Network
Computer Solutions, be named as suppliers of record. If prices of the primary supplier are
not competitive or if product is not available, staff has the opportunity to obtain needed
product from the other suppliers of record.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Funds are available in the approved 1997 Budget for the acquisition of computer work
stations and related equipment.

B213 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 June 13, 1997
BACKGROUND
The Burgundy Court and 3026 to 3068 Weston Road developments were constructed in the
early 1980s and consist of single family homes. The houses were erected along the crest of
the Humber River valley. The lots extend part way down the slope, while the balance of the
valley lands are owned by the Authority. A number of minor slope instability problems in
this general vicinity were first brought to the Authority's attention in 1986. In the Spring of
1987, a large circular slope failure occurred at Burgundy Court affecting five properties,
Nos. 6 through 10. Soil movement has also occurred at the rears of 3026 to 3068 Weston
Road.
In 1990, the Authority proceeded to carry out remedial works under the previous Class
Environmental Assessment, however, due to an inability to enter into indemnity agreements
with all of the affected homeowners, the project was put on hold. In 1996, Authority staff
were approached by the homeowners of Burgundy Court and asked to reconsider doing
remedial work behind their homes. Staff met with the residents, re-evaluated the site, and
concluded that work was still warranted in order to protect the homes. In May of this year,
staff requested proposals to complete the design work and a class environmental
assessment for flood control and erosion control project. In addition, staff are proposing to
undertake work immediately upstream of Burgundy, behind 3026 to 3068 Weston Road.
The Weston Road site is also ranked very high on our erosion priority list, and since both
sites would have to be accessed from the same location, it is prudent to complete the work
at the same time (see attached map).
RA TIONALE
The Authority received three proposals for the design of the works as follows:
1. Ecologistics Limited $13,992
2. Gartner Lee $18,030
3. Golder Associates $33,999
The consultants were evaluated on the following criteria:
. the written proposal;

Purchase easement rights for valley and stream corridor lands located
within the Duffin-Rouge Agriculture Preserve, Town of Markham,
currently identified for disposal by ORC.
Moved by: Maria Augimeri
Seconded by: Patrick Abtan
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT permanent easements containing 205
acres, more or less, consisting of stream corridors of the Rouge River, Petticoat Creek and
the West Duffin Creek, be purchased from the Ontario Realty Corporation as they become
available through their disposal process, said lands being in the Town of Markham, Regional
Municipality York, within the Duffin-Rouge Agriculture Preserve and include, but not be
limited to the following conditions;
. permit the Authority and/or its agents, to enter and have access to the subject lands
for the purpose of carrying out; inspections, stream improvements, rehabilitation,
planting, flood control, water quality improvements, maintenance and repairs;
. prohibit; alterations to watercourses, draining of wetlands, polluting of any
watercourses, filling, grading, removal of trees, construction of buildings and
structures.
THA T consideration is to be the nominal sum of $2.00;
THA T Gardiner Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete the transaction
at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for
land transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to be paid;
AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to
execute all necessary documentation required; . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Resolution #A 131/95, Authority Meeting #4/95, May 26, 1995, approving the project.
June 13, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 B232
At Meeting #4/96, dated May 31, 1996, the Authority under Resolution #A92/96 adopted
the following:
"THAT the staff report regarding the disposition of surplus government lands, Duffin-
Rouge Agriculture Preserve be received;
THAT 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;
THAT 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:-
At Meeting #3/97, April 25, 1997, the Authority adopted Resolution #A58/97, directing
staff to purchase lands and conservation easements to protect the resource features within
the Duffin-Rouge Agriculture Preserve lands, Town of Pickering.
In the Town of Markham side of the Duffin-Rouge Agriculture Preserve, it has been agreed
that the following resource features be protected through conservation easements in favour
of the Authority:
. main Petticoat Creek
. tributaries of the Little Rouge River (at Steeles Avenue)
. tributaries of the West Duffin Creek (north of Hwy # 7)
The Petticoat Creek ESA is to be conveyed to either the Authority or the Town of Markham.
A final decision has not yet been arrived at, as to whether the Town will be accepting title.
It has been agreed that the valley lands of the Little Rouge River will remain in public
ownership. Final decisions with respect to the extent of the protection of the valley corridor
lands of the Little Rouge River has been deferred subject to the finalization of the Rouge
Park Management Plan north of Steeles Avenue. Also, the Town will zone these lands and
isolated woodlots in the appropriate categories.
At present, no land use change is being contemplated for the remainder of the Agriculture
Preserve lands. They are to be sold as agricultural lands or existing rural residential and the
lotting plan will take into account the need to create viable units. Given that they will be
private agricultural lands, it is not necessary for the Authority or the Town to have
ownership and management responsibilities for all the greenspace lands, located within the
remainder of the Agriculture Preserve. The easement lands can be acquired by the
appropriate agency, through the usual development process when and if there is a proposed
land use change. To ensure that these greenspace lands are protected under the current
use, a conservation easement, attached to title, clearly outlining the requirements for
protection of the environmental resource area, was agreed to. The greenspace area
proposed for conservation easements is identified on the attached plan.
B233 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 June 13, 1997
Public meetings sponsored by ORC regarding the disposition process were held on January
28 and 29, 1997 in the Town of Pickering and the Town of Markham offices, respectively.
Generally, the public was supportive of the recommended approaches to protect the
greenspace system.
RATIONALE
There are important greenspace resources within the Agriculture Preserve lands in the Town
of Markham currently being considered for disposal as surplus. A significant reach of The
Little Rouge River forms the western boundary of the preserve. A reach of the main branch
of the Petticoat Creek containing the Petticoat Creek ESA(wetland), and tributaries of the
Little Rouge River and the West Duffin Creek are within the preserve.
The subject areas are within the Authority's master plan of acquisition.
The ORC and the Town of Markham have agreed to the mechanisms being recommended to
protect the greenspace system.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
While there will be minor costs associated with the administration and compliance
monitoring of the conservation easements, taxes and maintenance costs will be the
responsibility of the land owners.

BACKGROUND
Members may recall that staff had a number of meetings with area residents and officials of
the Town of Pickering regarding amending the Authority's acquisition project boundary in
the Rodd AvenuelBella Vista Drive area. A plan was brought forward reflecting the
community's input on the revised acquisition boundaries and process for disposal of the
resulting surplus Authority lands. At Meeting #4/96 held on May 31, 1996, the Authority
adopted Resolution #A99/96, declaring that various parcels of Authority-owned tablelands,
including 5 lots improved with single family homes, (included is 554 Rodd Avenue) and
three vacant parcels, be surplus to the future requirements of the Authority and
recommending that preference be given whenever possible, to sales or exchanges being
made at market value to former owners, tenants, remaining private owners and abutting
owners within the amended acquisition boundary.
In accordance with the provisions of Resolution #A99/96, and as outlined in the staff report
regarding the disposal process adopted by the Executive Committee at Meeting # 12/96,
January 10, 1997, under Resolution #B205/96, staff in consultation with the Authority
solicitor and an independent appraiser has initiated the disposal process as follows:
The priority of potential purchasers be:
1) Former owners
2) Tenants
3) Remaining Private Owners situate within the amended boundary which will
include abutting property owners
4) General public
The former owners were either contacted directly if an address could be found or best
efforts were made to contact them through the solicitor who acted on their behalf at the
time of the purchase by the Authority. None of the former owners that we were able to
contact has expressed interest in their former property. The five tenants have been
contacted and two of them have expressed an interest in acquiring the property. The
Authority approved the sale of 531 Rodd Avenue at Meeting #4/97, dated May 30, 1997.
An agreement has now been reached with the tenant at 554 Rodd Avenue. The offer at
hand is in accordance with the appraised value of an independent evaluation obtained by the
Authority.
A map showing the location of the subject lands is appended.
B237 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 June 13, 1997
RATIONALE
The subject land has been declared surplus by the Authority.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
It is proposed that the proceeds from this sale be used in the funding of the purchase of
priority properties within the Authority's Acquisition Project.

(2) Planting Plan; submitted by applicant; Enlarged Drawing P-1079-34; received May
22, 1997.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to replace the existing twin steel arch pipes with a concrete box
culvert. The widening of Bayview Avenue, to allow for a permanent left turn lane, requires
a slight watercourse realignment. The new watercourse channel has been designed using
natural channel design principles. The stream bed will be protected with the use of 50mm-
200mm stones, approximately 300mm thick, at both ends of the culvert and in the areas
where the watercourse has been altered.
Control nf Flnoding'
There are no grading changes being proposed within the Regional Storm flood plain
therefore the control of flooding will not be affected. The size of the box culvert being used
is sufficient enough to handle the regional storm flood levels and is within Municipal
Standards.
Pollution'
Sediment fencing will be erected along the entire length of the watercourse between
Bayview Avenue and the watercourse. The stream flow is initially being diverted into the
existing south culvert and will be pumped from the culvert to beyond the works. Once the
new box culvert has been installed the water will be diverted from the existing pipe to the
new box culvert. This diversion will allow for fish passage as well as decrease the chances
of sediment from entering the watercourse.
B249 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 June 13, 1997
Con~p.rvation of Land'
The works along the watercourse are occurring within the appropriate fisheries window
(June 1- September 15) with the stone protection of the stream bed occurring immediately
after grading is completed. The stream banks will be stabilized with topsoil and seed and
enhanced with the planting of native woody species within the riparian zone. The box
culvert and stone protection will allow for fish passage.
Policy Gllidp.linp.~'
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program, Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing.

8251 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 June 13, 1997
ProDosal:
The applicant is proposing to construct a sanitary sewer to service the houses on Riverbend
Road, Oakcrest Avenue, Sabiston Drive and Campbell Court as well as the new subdivision

June 13, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 B252
RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
The proponent is proposing to relocate an existing 12.72 metre (45 feet) span steel bridge
over the Morningside Creek north of Finch Avenue. The local residents already cross this
watercourse and have cut steps into the valley slope and placed rocks on the stream bed.
The works will involve rehabilitating the affected valley slopes and relocating the crossing to
a section of the watercourse approximately 2m (6 feet) to the east of the section presently
used by the local residents. This new location will move the crossing further away from the
existing eroding streambank but will result in the removal of woody vegetation. This woody
vegetation will be relocated to the west of the bridge in order to rehabilitate the degraded
slope and ultimately prevent access across the watercourse at the traditional crossing site.
The only construction occurring at this location will be the bridge footings, which are being
constructed on the top of the stream bank. The footings will be located 7m away from the
edge of the watercourse and will take approximately 2 days to complete.
Control of Flooding:
No grading will occur within the flood plain; therefore, control of flooding will not be
affected.
Pollution:
Enviro fencing will be erected between the watercourse and the site of the footings. The
disturbed areas will be seeded or sodded immediately following the works.
Conservation of Land:
No significant resource features will be affected by these works.
Policv Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program - Section 4.1.2 - New Resource-based Uses.

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal involves three aspects of the servicing of a residential subdivision:
1. Lot grading in a regulated area adjacent to the established development limit (top-of-
bank).
The current plans indicate all grading restricted to the established development limit
(top-of-bank). In order to achieve the City of Vaughan's rear lot grading standards
the developer is required to construct a series of high retaining walls at the rear of a
number of lots. As an alternate solution the Owner's Consultant has proposed the
placement of fill in two areas beyond the established development limit. The areas
proposed for filling presently slope gently toward the floor of the valley and are
devoid of woody vegetation. The filled slopes will be graded to a 3: 1 gradient and
vegetated. The total volume of fill is approximately 15000 cubic metres. While staff
do not normally'sopport fill placement beyond the established development limit (top-
of-bank). we feel in the long-term the fill option is preferable over the retaining wall
option as it eliminates the issue of long-term maintenance associated with retaining
structures and is more aesthetically pleasing as viewed from the valley.
8259 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 June 13, 1997
2. Erosion control works at six zones of bank instability on the Humber River.
The six erosion control zones were identified as requiring stabilization works through
. a geotechnical report in 1989. The detail design involves arresting the toe erosion
with rip-rap and providing a combination of bio-engineered slope treatments and
regrading the upper slope.
3. Expansion and reconfiguration of an existing storm water management pond in order
to provide runoff control.
The proposed pond expansion will allow for provision of 2 through 100 year quantity
control and first flush quality and erosion control. The pond to be expanded is
located south of the proposed Vaughan Mills Road alignment and currently services
two adjacent plans of subdivision. The central pond was part of a Master Servicing
Plan for the area approved by Authority staff in the late 1980's. Previous permits
have been issued for its partial construction.
Control of Flooding:
As all grades within the flood plain will be matched there will be no impact on the control of
flooding.
Pollution:
Sediment controls for the erosion control works will be provided through the partial
diversion of the river with jersey barriers. Access routes have been identified in the field
with Authority staff. Crossings of the river for construction access are by temporary span
bridges.
Conservation of Land:
All disturbed areas will be seeded or sodded on completion of the work.
Policv Guidelines:
The proposal is in conformance with the approved Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program. Section 4.1.1 - New Development and Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing.

The corridor is currently well-defined. The watercourse upstream and downstream of the
pond has been previously modified and is lined with gabion and terra fix mat. There is an
existing drop structure in the watercourse on the upstream side of the pond and a weir
outlet structure on the downstream side. There is no significant vegetation that will be
impacted within the work area.
The pond will be expanded by approximately 1.5 times and will result in the removal of the
upstream drop structure and a modification of the control structure. In addition, a CSP
culvert under a road immediately downstream will be replaced with an open foot box
culvert.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
8265 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 June 13, 1997
Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to construct an on-line storm water management facility in
compliance with the Markham Centre Study and the Master Servicing Plan and the
Environmental Master Drainage Plan for OPA 22. An interim facility will be constructed,
sized to MOEE criteria, to provide sediment control during the construction of the adjacent
subdivision. The ultimate pond is designed for water quality treatment, downstream erosion
protection and quality control up to the 100 year storm. The watercourse downstream of
the pond is proposed to be lowered up to 1.5 m over a distance of 174 m to meet drainage
requirements.
The tributary of the Rouge River is well defined in the lower reaches, below the pond site,
and flows intermittently. There is no on-site fish habitat; however, the Rouge River
downstream is high quality fish habitat (type 1). The pond site is fill regulated and in the
flood plain.
The applicant is also proposing to construct an intersection onto McCowan Road across
from the access to the day camp facility in Milne Park. Through this work the driveways to
the day camp and the adjacent house will be realigned and up-graded with gravel. A culvert
will be installed to convey an intermittent tributary of the Rouge River. These works are
also fill regulated and in the flood plain.
Control of Flooding:
The area proposed for development is currently located in a spill from the Rouge River.
Through the development, the spill will be contained and the site of the interesection no
longer flood vulnerable. The pond is excavated only and will not impact on the control of
flooding.
Pollution:
The pond and stream lowering will be constructed in the dry. A check dam will be installed
downstream to prevent sediment from reaching the Rouge River. The interim pond will
provide sediment control during the regrading and servicing of the subdivision.
The culvert will be installed under dry conditions. There will be no pollution as a result of
the work at the intersection.
Conservation of Land:
The watercourse through the site of the proposed pond is not fish habitat. The channel
downstream of the pond which is proposed to be lowered will be designed as a wetland
pocket.
The upstream end of the pond is to be developed as a formal urban park, and will be easily
accessible to the public. The remainder of the pond is to be heavily vegetated with native
woody species. A trail system will be provided.
There are no significant resource features currently at the pond site or the site of the new
interse ction.

Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to construct a storm drain outlet and headwall to replace the
existing outlet whrch is collapsing and full of sediment. The construction of this new storm
sewer system will improve drainage on the site. The head wall will be constructed
approximately 25 metres away from the edge of the watercourse, with cobblestones being
placed between the head wall and the watercourse. The cobbles will connect and be
integrated into the existing dry bed watercourse. This watercourse is approximately 60 m
from the Rouge River. The cobbles will slow the velocity of the water exiting the head wall,
and act as a cooling device for the water before entering the Rouge River.
B269 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 June 13, 1997
Control of Flooding:
No change in grade is being proposed within the Regional Storm flood plain; therefore, the
control of flooding will not be affected. All excavated material will be removed from the
site immediately.
Pollution:
Sediment fences will be erected along the tableland between the works and the
watercourse. A sediment fence will also be constructed down the valley slope and around
the outfall structure. This will define the limit of disturbance and prevent sediment from
entering the watercourse. Water quality on the site will be accounted for through the use
of 3 Goss Traps.
Conservation of Land:
Site stabilization will occur through seeding or sodding following the completion of all
works. Any woody vegetation removed during the construction process will be replaced
following the completion of all works. This will help to stabilize the slope as well as aid in
the cooling of the water from the outlet before it enters the watercourse.
Policy Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program, Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing

June 13, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 B270
Prooosal:
The City of Scarborough is proposing to undertake a stream restoration project on the
Markham Branch of the Highland Creek between Highway 401 and Markham Road. The
objectlve of the work is to provide water quality enhancement, reduce the erosion potential
downstream, improve the aquatic and terrestrial habitats and provide a usable public
amenity. The reach is approximately 1680 m long and is located immediately upstream of
ESA #77 - Morningside Park Forest. The existing trapezoidal channel is approximately 60 m
wide. The low flow channel is lined with gabion mats while the remaining flood plain
channel is grass lined.
The work is to be done in two phases. In the first phase, the valley floor will be widened to
increase the flood plain width for frequent flood events and reduce the erosion potential in
the low flow channel. Through the use of meanders and pools and riffles, a natural
geomorphologic pattern will be encouraged through the reach. Plunge pools and vortex
weirs will be incorporated to control erosion at key locations where services or property
needs protection. Off-line pools and wetlands will be excavated to trap sediments, provide
water quality treatment at storm water outfalls and increase habitat diversity. All disturbed
areas will be stabilized using seed or mulch. A pedestrian trail will be constructed.
Control of Flooding:
The flood capacity will be increased because of the widening and reconfiguration of the
corridor. There will be no impact on the control of flooding.
Pollution:
The work will be phased to minimize the duration of work in the watercourse. All in-stream
works will be undertaken under low flow conditions.
Conservation of Land:
The proposal will help to protect and will compliment the existing ESA downstream by
reducing the erosive nature of the watercourse and by extending the natural corridor. The
work will include the removal of a weir which currently acts as a fish barrier.
Policy Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 5.4 - Corridor Rehabilitation Projects.

Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to regrade the rear yard and place topsoil and seed. Soil which
was spread in the yard following excavation of a basement addition to the house is to be
removed from the site.
Control of Flooding:
The works are not located in the flood plain.
Pollution:
A sediment fence will be erected at the crest of the slope to control sediment.
Conservation of Land:
The area affected, which is approximately 8.5 m by 11.3 m, is on the tableland above a
steep slope which is showing some signs of surface erosion. There is a history of slope
instability in this area. The works will reduce the load at the top of the slope and address
runoff over the slope, reducing the erosion risk.
Policv Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 4.2.2 Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures.

7.1.24 CITY OF SCARBOROUGH Errata
To alter a watercourse on Twyn Rivers Drive at Rouge and Little Rouge Rivers, in the
City of Scarborough, Rouge River Watershed as located on property owned by same.
The purpose is to undertake repairs to the Scott's and Maxwell Bridges on Twyn Rivers
Drive.
The permit will be issued for the period of June 13, 1997 to June 12, 1999.
1. Letter of Undertaking regarding revised plans for bridge repair works; from Tod
Springer of Totten Sims Hubicki; dated June 11, 1997; received June 11, 1997.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The City of Scarborough is proposing to repair the Scott's and Maxwell bridges on Twyn
Rivers Drive. There is significant structural deterioration of the two bridges and immediate
repair is necessary or the road will need to be closed. Recently the replacement and
enlargement of the bridges was considered under the Environmental Assessment Act;
however, there was considerable concern that upgrading the bridges would encourage
additional traffic and disruption to the adjacent natural area and the Rouge Park.
The Scott's bridge over the Rouge River is a bailey bridge design with concrete footings.
The steel bridge deck will be removed and repaired off site. The footings are eroding at the
water level. The concrete will be repaired and river run stone stream bank and footing
protection will be installed in the watercourse and on the stream bank.
The Maxwell bridge over the Little Rouge River is a concrete bridge. Extensive concrete
repair of the deck and footings is required. The deterioration of the footings at this site,
however, is not impacted by the watercourse, and no instream work will be required. .
Control of Flooding:
There will be no change in the hydraulic characteristics of these crossings.
Pollution:
Coffer dams will be installed, if required, to complete the footing repairs and streambank
protection in the dry. This practice will minimise sediment in the watercourse. A
containment system to catch the debris from the Maxwell bridge deck will be in place to
protect the watercourse. All disturbed areas will be stabilised with seed or sod immediately
following construct1on -and regrading.
B273 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 June 13, 1997
Conservation of Land:
The Rouge and Little Rouge Rivers are type 1 fish habitat through these reaches and support
a cold water fishery. There is significant fish habitat under and adjacent to both bridge
crossings. The fish habitat will not be affected under the Maxwell Bridge. However, some
fish habitat enhancement will be undertaken under the Scott's bridge to mitigate impacts
caused by the stream bank and footing protection works. All in-stream works will be
undertaken from July 1 to September 15 within the appropriate fisheries window.
The work area and construction access will be identified in the field by fencing and act to
protect the existing vegetation. All woody vegetation damage during the work will be
replaced.
Policv Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 4.3 Infrastructure and Servicing.

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prooosal:
In order to service an institutional property now under construction (Kennedy House) the
Town of Ajax is proposing to align a sanitary sewer through the valley of the Duffin Creek
on lands owned by the Authority. The valley feature is not well defined through this reach
and the works are to be outside of the riparian area of the main branch of the watercourse.
However, two intermittent tributaries will be crossed. In addition, most of the alignment
crosses through an area designated as an Environmentally Significant Area (ESA # 113 -
Carruther's Creek Forest).
June 13, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 B274
Control of Flooding:
The alignment is outside of the flood plain. The works will not affect the control of
flooding.
Pollution:
A sediment fence is to be erected between the sewer trench and the watercourse to limit
the movement of sediment on the site. The crossings of the watercourses will take place
under dry conditions.
Conservation of Land:
The sewer is aligned outside of the meander belt of the watercourse and to avoid any
significant natural resource features associated with the ESA. However, seven archeological
sites have been located along the alignment four of which will require excavation prior to
construction of the sewer. This excavation is to begin on June 9 and take approximately
three weeks. Construction access will be limited to an 18 m wide corridor and delineated
by fencing. All disturbed areas will be stabilized with grass seed or sod, and enhanced with
native woody vegetation.
Policy Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing.

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
8275 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 June 13, 1997
Proposal:
To facilitate the development of the first phase of a commercial development, the applicant
is proposing to construct an interim conveyance channel, pond and outfall. The pond is
designed to provide water quality treatment for the proposed 5 ha development. Water
quantity controls will be achieved on site.
Control of Flooding:
The development site is part of a larger 100 ha site. An environmental and storm water
study is currently underway for the whole drainage area and should be completed by the
end of 1997. The subject site has already received planning approvals and the applicant
wishes to go forward with development at this time. The proposed channel, pond and
outfall will ultimately be incorporated into the recommendations of the larger study.
The pond and a portion of the channel are to be located within the Regional Storm flood
plain. The pond is located outside of the 100 year flood plain. These works will be
excavated only and will not affect the control of flooding.
Pollution:
Sediment fencing will be erected between the pond site and channel, and the watercourse
to control sediment. The outfall for the channel and the outlet of the pond are directed to
existing wet features which drain to the watercourse. Because of this, there will be no risk
of sediment entering the watercourse.
Conservation of Land:
The pond and channel are located so as to avoid existing woody vegetation. Vegetation will
be protected by fencing. A planting plan for the pond and channel will be undertaken to
enhance the stream corridor and shade the pond and channel to mitigate temperature
impacts on the watercourse.
Policv Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing.

THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The province of Ontario has passed Bill 103, creating one Toronto-wide government. On
January 1, 1998, the six city councils and Metro Council (a total of 106 councillors, six
mayors and a chair) will become one council with 56 councillors and one mayor.
Councillors will also sit on one of six community councils which will deal with local matters.
Neighborhood committees have also been proposed, however, their responsibilities, form
and method of operation have not been decided.
B277 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 June 13, 1997
Before the new city government is created, there will be opportunities for the public and
various groups and agencies to identify their interests and make suggestions and
recommendations. Although the City of Toronto Act specifically excludes conservation
authorities from the "local boards" that are directly affected by the legislation, there are
many areas of interest to the Authority that will or may be affected by the restructuring of
municipal government. Staff has discussed and identified the following areas of Authority
interest.
Change of Name: Since Metropolitan Toronto will cease to exist, the Authority should
change its name. "Toronto Region Conservation" is one possibility. While this may seem
straightforward, there are costs associated with it ego corporate registration, notification,
signage, print materials, clothing, vehicles, a web site, etc. An amendment to the
Conservation Authorities Act would also be required. Legislation is being developed to
implement changes to other legislation affected by Bill 103. The changes to the
Conservation Authorities Act should be identified and included in this legislation.
Reoresentation: Toronto will replace Metro as the Authority's member municipality. The
number of Authority members representing each member municipality is based on
population with the further requirement that the number of members from Metro equal the
number from outside Metro. This can only change if the Conservation Authorities Act is
amended.
The new municipality will need to establish an appointment process for the various
agencies, boards and commissions. The Authority must ensure that the new City makes its
appointments early so that there is continuity in operations.
There is the potential for a major change in members appointed to the Authority as the new
Council will likely comprise a mix of current Metro and local politicians and newly elected
individuals. Authority staff and returning members should be prepared to provide a
thorough orientation program so that the business of the Authority is conducted effectively
and efficiently.
Funding: Metro Council, as part of its 1997 budget process, supported the Authority's
three-year Business Plan. The Authority agreed to reduce its budget by $296,000 in each
of 1997, 1998 and 1999, so that Metro funding in 1999 would be 25% below the 1995
level. The success of the Authority's Business Plan is predicated on this agreement
continuing.
The Authority must ensure that the funding for Authority programs is incorporated in the
budget for the new City at the level agreed to by Metro in 1997.
Emergency Planning: Emergency planning and response are the responsibility of the
Metropolitan government. This includes response to events of interest to the Authority
such as flooding. This responsibility must be assumed by the new City of Toronto.
June 13, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 B278
Park Lands: Since 1959, the Authority and Metropolitan Toronto have had an agreement
under which Metro manages, for park purposes, Authority lands within Metro. This long
time agreement must be assumed by the new municipality.
The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Act includes specific provisions referring to the
agreement for Metro's management of Authority lands for park purposes. These provisions
allow Metro to exercise the same powers on the Authority lands it manages as it does on
Metro-owned park lands. Included is the provision to "exempt from municipal taxation any
such lands for so long as they are managed and controlled by the Metropolitan Corporation
and used for park purposes". It is essential that these provisions be incorporated into any
new legislation.
The Agreement with Metro includes provision for three-party agreements with the local
municipalities or public corporations, such as the Ontario Science Centre and the Guild Inn,
to manage Authority lands. Those lands managed through a three-party agreement must be
recognized and dealt with appropriately.
Boards of Education: The local public school boards will be amalgamated into one board.
The Authority has an agreement with the public school boards of education in York Region
and Metropolitan Toronto and with the Metro Separate School Board for the operation of
conservation and outdoor education programs at Boyd and Lake St. George Conservation
Field Centres. Under this agreement the school boards fund the operation and maintenance
of the centres and those head office administrative expenses, including salaries. required to
support the operation. The school boards' funding is offset by fees charged to visiting
groups.
This agreement has worked well and should continue under the new Toronto Board of
Education.
Municipal Planning: Metropolitan Toronto and each of the six local municipalities have
Official Plans and many documents and bylaws proscribing land use planning matters.
Authority staff has worked with all municipalities to ensure that the valley and stream
corridors and the Lake Ontario waterfront are recognized and protected through planning
policies and designations. Each local municipality has responded, however, there is
variation in the way in which Authority interests have been incorporated and areas where
improvements could be made. The amalgamation of the seven municipalities will result in
the need to review, update and amend planning policies, designations and procedures. This
is an opportunity for the Authority to advocate the standardization of policies across the
new City ensure tbe highest objectives for the protection and enhancement of the natural
environment can be provided for in municipal planning.
Submissions: The Transition Team established by the province will also be holding hearings.
There are issues affecting the interests of the Authority that should be brought forward for
consideration by the Transition Team.
B279 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 June 13, 1997
There is also an opportunity to provide information on the Authority's interests to one of the
resource panels set up by Metropolitan Toronto for public participation. This initiative is
called NEWCity and is separate from the work of the Transition Team. However, the
information gathered may be submitted by Metro to the Transition Team. The panel on the
Environment will be preparing suggestions and recommendations for the new City. They
will review existing environmental programs, practices and standards, potential and future
environmental initiatives and approaches, concerns, opportunities for positive environmental
change, recommendations for environmental standards for all departments of the new city.
Authority staff has been asked to participate on the sub-panel Natural Heritage/Open Space.
DET AILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The Province is preparing implementing legislation for Bill 103, including detailed changes
designed to consolidate various pieces of legislation. The Authority must ensure that those
responsibilities of interest to it are covered by the implementing legislation.

At Authority Meeting 3/97 held on April 25, 1997, the following resolution was adopted:
RES. #A82/97
MTHA T staff be directed to investigate the acquisition of the Christian Brothers
property in the vicinity of Airport Road and Highway #9"
June 13, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/97 B280
The subject property consists of 149 acres, more or less, and is situate within the
headwaters area of the Humber River Watershed in the Niagara Escarpment. The property is
described as Part of Lot 1, Concession 7, Part of Lots 1 and 2, Concession 8, Township of
Mono, and Part of Lots 39 and 40, Concession 1, Town of Caledon (Formerly Township of
Albion) and Part of Road Allowance between Town of Caledon (Formerly Township of
Albion) and Township of Mono. There are 6 buildings on the site ranging from a large
retreat/learning centre to a number of smaller houses for staff and storage buildings.
STATUS
During the early 1990's a substantial portion of the subject property was included on the
list of lands suitable for acquisition approved by the Niagara Escarpment Committee under
the Niagara Escarpment Land Acquisition Program. Extensive discussions were carried out
with representatives of the owners concerning the potential purchase of a 135 acre vacant
portion of the total area consisting of the flood plain and valley land portion, however no
agreement was arranged at that time. The area upon which the buildings are situate was not
included in the area approved for acquisition.
On March 21, 1997, the Authority was provided with a copy of a Request for Proposals
from Arthur Anderson, in its capacity as Provisional Liquidator of the Estate of the Christian
Brothers of Ireland in Canada. Proposals were due to be submitted by April 25, 1997 with
the mandate being to sell the entire holding.
Upon reviewing the status of this property with officials of Arthur Anderson on
June 2 ,1997, Authority officials were advised that the property was sold to an undisclosed
purchaser, that the transaction is scheduled to close on June 16, 1997 and that further
information will be available after the closing date.
DET AILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Staff will contact officials of Arthur Anderson after June 16 ,1997 and report further.

SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION
RES. #B87/97 - GETTING TOGETHER - REPORT ON THE CREATION OF A
GREATER TORONTO SERVICES BOARD
The Special Advisor to the Minister on the Greater Toronto Services
Board has finalized his report entitled Getting Together. The report
makes one recommendation with respect to watershed management.
Comments on the report and its recommendations are required by July
31,1997.
Moved by: Case Dotes
Seconded by: Michael Di Biase
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT The Minister of Municipal Affairs and
Housing be advised, that The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
supports the recommendation related to Conservation, Watershed and Inter-Watershed
Management Issues, contained in the Getting Together report recently submitted by the
Special Advisor to the Minister on the Greater Toronto Services Board;
AND FURTHER THAT the Special Advisor to the Minister be commended for his recognition
of the important part a healthy environment plays in ensuring a healthy economy and that
the protection of the environment must be an important component of land use planning
decisions. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Staff reported to the Executive Committee on the process the Minister of Municipal Affairs
and Housing has set up to seek advice on the need, role and responsibilities of a Greater
Toronto Services Board. The staff report attached a copy of a letter to Mr. Milt Farrow, the
Special Advisor to the Minister, Greater Toronto Services Board, which contained the
collective comments of the six Conservation Authorities within the GT A.
The main points of our submission are:
. The importance of managing our natural resources on a watershed basis;
. The need to separate the management and protection of the environment from the
design, construction and operation of the hard services such as sewers, water mains
and pollution control plants;
. We have identified the many areas where the GT A Conservation Authorities have
been working together, to better deliver our services in a more co-ordinated way,
across the GT A;
. We suggest Authority involvement on the GTS Board on a full time basis would not
be warranted nor necessary, however, some form of associate membership should be
considered, so that when issues related to the environment and the watersheds are
discussed, we would be represented.
July 11, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/97 B286
The Executive Committee recommended to the Full Authority the following Resolution
which was adopted without amendment:
, RES. #A33/97
..,.HA T the report from the Chief Administrative Officer, dated March 4, 1997,
on the GTA Conservation Authorities' submission to the Special Advisor to
the Minister on the Greater Toronto Services Board, be received;
THA T Authority staff continue to monitor the work of the Special Advisor and
to report back, as required;
THA T in addition, the Chair of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority write Mr. Mi/t Farrow emphasizing the interregional
coordinating role which this Authority has successfully played for the past
forty years as the conservation agency responsible for watershed
management in a large part of the Greater Toronto Area;
AND FURTHER THA T the Authority has undertaken and will continue to fulfill,
for the environment, the role envisioned for the Greater Toronto Services
Board for the various hard services requiring interregional coordination. "
The recently released report by the Special Advisor to the Minister, makes several
recommendations. The first recommendation is that, "A Greater Toronto Services Board
should be created". Recommendation No.4 sets out the mandate of the GTSB as follows:
. Develop a comprehensive, long term Infrastructure Coordination Strategy for the
Greater Toronto Area.
. Provide a discussion forum and liaise with all levels of government.
. Resolve inter-regional servicing issues, implement decisions and apportion associated
costs.
. Operate GO Transit, and provide a long-term, post-collection waste management
strategy for the GT A.
The Report deals with the issue of watershed management in a section entitled
"Conservation, Watershed and Inter-Watershed Management Issues". This section is very
short and therefore the entire section is provided below for the information of the Members.
ConseTVstion, Wstershed snd Inter- Wstershed Msnsgement Issues
Recent/y, there has been a tendency to group conservation, watershed and inter-watershed
management issues with hard servicing matters and to /abel them all "environmental
services." This is misleading, and underscores the importance of dealing with these matters
in a separate and distinct way. Given that the preservation of a healthy ecosystem is
inextricably linked with the quality of life which is so integral to the attractiveness of this
area - this topic warrants specific attention.
B287 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/97 July 11, 1997
Six of the conservation authorities within the GTA provided a submission which outlined
their position as it relates to the GTSB. They stated that::
"There are environmental opportunities that could be realized through inter-watershed
initiatives. We {the conservation authorities} believe that watershed management is the key
to a healthy environment, which in turn, is essential for healthy communities and a healthy
economy. "
Recommendation 12
The GTSB should:
. provide strategic direction on conservation, watershed and inter-watershed
management issues affecting the GTA; and,
. identify opportunities to implement that strategic direction, and to integrate
consideration for conservation, watershed and inter-watershed management issues in
key urban form and infrastructure decisions throughout the GTA.
COMMENTS
Although the GTSB report does not spend a great deal of time on the Authorities' issues, it
has essentially adopted all aspects of our submission. The fact that there is a recognition
that hard services and the protection and management of our natural resources are separate
and should be viewed that way, is an important break through. What is also a very
important point is the recognition that conservation and watershed issues must be
considered as part of urban form and infrastructure decision making.
Based on the Authorities' initial submission and the acceptance of our key points by the
Special Advisor to the Minister in his report, the Authority should advise the Minister that
we support the recommendations made with respect to conservation and watershed
management issues.
The Authority should also commend the Special Advisor to the Minister to the Minister on
the Greater Toronto Services Board, for his recognition of the importance a healthy
environment plays in ensuring a healthy economy and that conservation and natural
resource management must play an important part in land use planning decisions.

Unfunded Expenditures and Commitments
CFN 25652A and 256548
Proposal to fund the expenditures related to the Dinardo purchase and
the Spiers donation by utilizing land sale revenues.
Moved by: Case Ootes
Seconded by: Michael Di Biase
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS it is anticipated the
Authority will complete the sale of Authority owned land to Islington Woods Developments
Ltd., which will generate significant land sale revenues;
AND WHEREAS expenditures and commitments for the Project For The Acquisition Of The
Altona Forest Environmentally Significant Area, in the amount of $95,000 are unfunded;
THAT land sale revenues be utilized to fund expenditures of $95,000, related to the Project
For The Acquisition Of The Altona Forest Environmentally Significant Area, subject to the
completion of the sale to Islington Woods Developments Ltd. . . . . . . . . . . . . " CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Resolution #A80/93, #A81/93, #A83/93 and #A84/93, Authority Meeting #3/93 April 23,
1993, approving the Project For The Acquisition Of The Altona Forest Environmentally
Significant Area.
At Meeting #1/95, February 24, 1995, the Authority under Resolution #A24/95 and
#A25/95 approved the acquisition of the Dinardo property for the purchase price of
$687,500 plus cost and the donation of the Dr. J. Murray Spiers property for the nominal
cost of $2.00, plus costs, respectfully.
The Authority earlier took the position that land sale revenues should not be used to
acquire Altona Forest property. The majority of the Dinardo purchase has been raised
through funding from the Town of Pickering, Regional Municipality of Durham, and the
Charles Sauriol Trust Fund. However, a balance of $45,200 remains on the Authority
accounts as unfunded. In addition, costs related to the Spiers donation, including legal,
appraisal, survey and a commitment for fencing totalling $49,800 remain unfunded.
RA TIONALE
To date staff has been unsuccessful in raising funds from other sources to cover these
expenditures of $95,000. Therefore, utilizing the land sale revenues would appear to be
the only means to cover the costs.
B289 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/97 July 11, 1997
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Utilizing land sale revenues to cover the $95,000 unfunded expenditures and to acquire the
Rivett property, which is subject of a separate report on this agenda, will complete the
Authority's capital funding commitments for the Project For The Acquisition Of The Altona
Forest Environmentally Significant Area.

Paul and Barbara Rivett Property
CFN 25653
Proposal to complete the purchase of Paul and Barbara Rivett property
authorized at Authority Meeting #3/96, held on April 24, 1996, by
utilizing land sale revenues.
Moved by: Case Dotes
Seconded by: Michael Di Biase
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS the Authority is in the
process of disposing of lands in the Rodd Avenue area in the Town of Pickering;
AND WHEREAS the Authority is attempting to complete the acquisition of the Paul and
Barbara Rivett property in the Town of Pickering;
THA T staff be directed to complete the purchase of the Paul and Barbara Rivett property
utilizing land sale revenues;
AND FURTHER THAT all other conditions as approved at Meeting #3/96 under Resolution
#50/96 remain in effect. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At meeting #3196, held on April 24, 1996, the Authority adopted Resolution #50/96 as
follows:
THA T Resolution #86/95, adopted by the Members of the Authority at Meeting
#3/95 held on April 28, 1995, be rescinded and the following be approved;
THA T 1.2 acres, more or less, be purchased from Paul and Barbara Rivett, said land
being a triangular shaped parcel of land being Part of Lot 31, Concession 1, Town of
Pickering, Regional Municipality of Durham, fronting on the west side of Rosebank
Road, south of Finch A venue East;
THA T the purchase price be the sum of $213,000.00, plus payment of vendor's
legal costs, together with interest at the rate of 8% per annum, from June 15,
1995, to the date of closing on any unpaid balance;
B291 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/97 July 11, 1997
THA T the Authority receive conveyance of the land required free from encumbrance,
subject to existing service easements;
. THA T the tentative agreement at hand is conditional on the Authority obtaining the
necessary funds to complete the purchase of the property, prior to December 31,
1996;
THA T in the event the purchase of the property cannot be completed prior to
December 31, 1996, the Authority will pay legal costs up to a maximum of
$ 3000.00 and the deposit shall remain at $100.00 ;
THA T Gardiner, Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete the
transaction at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental
to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to be paid;
AND FURTHER THA T the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed
to execute all necessary documentation required and obtain any additional approvals
required.
At meeting # 12/96, held on January 24, 1997, the Authority adopted Resolution
#A292/96, directing staff to attempt to enter into an exchange of land with Paul and
Barbara Rivett, subject to certain parcels being available at the end of Phase II of the Rodd
Avenue disposal process and prior to offering the lands for sale to the general public.
At meeting # 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 Rodd Avenue area
and staff are in the process of implementing the sale process as set out in the staff report.
At the end of Phase II of the Rodd Avenue disposal process the Authority has two
agreements on hand and negotiations are ongoing on the balance of the surplus lands. In
attempting to find a reasonable and timely resolution for the public acquisition of the Rivett
property and in order to complete Altona Forest Assembly, staff are recommending the
Authority finalize the purchase by utilizing the land sale revenues.
The Rivetts have granted several extensions to the option to purchase agreement and
agreed to a six month deferral for the OMB hearing scheduled for January 27, 1997, subject
to the Authority approving the proposed exchange and subject to suitable property being
available at Rodd Avenue. It was felt this would give us enough time to work our way
through the disposal process and find a suitable parcel to exchange. A new OMB hearing
date has been scheduled for September 16, 1997. Given the ongoing negotiations in
connection with the remaining surplus lands at Rodd Avenue, it would appear that a suitable
property may not'be-avmlable-forexctTange~ither~rror"to-the DMB hearing date or perhaps
not at all, to complete the Rivett acquisition. As a result, staff are recommending we
complete the Altona Forest assembly and purchase the Paul and Barbara Rivett property
utilizing land sale revenue.
July 11, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/97 B292
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 Altona Forest, that
staff be directed to complete the purchase using land sale revenues. 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.
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 Altona Forest Environmentally Significant Area.
T AXES 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.
On closing the subject property would merge with the rest of the Altona Forest lands.
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 and it would appear that suitable lands from the Rodd Avenue disposal will not be
available for exchange for this final acquisition. Therefore, utilizing the land sale revenues
would appear to be the only means to achieve the Authority's objective of completing the
Altona Forest assembly.

THAT the staff report dated June 30, 1997 regarding the status of the Revised Project for
the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park be received. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Planning Framework
The Motel Strip Secondary Plan (Official Plan Amendment C-65-86), as approved by the
Lieutenant Governor in Council, set out a policy commitment to have the Public Amenity
Area lands assembled in public ownership and the shoreline in place before private
redevelopment was allowed to proceed. The Motel Strip Secondary Plan was adopted by
City of Etobicoke Council on February 22, 1988, and approved by the Ontario Municipal
Board on April 8, 1992. The decision was confirmed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council
(Cabinet) on December 16, 1992.
On September 6, 1994, the City of Etobicoke passed Bylaw 1994 - 149, (Central Site) and
on October 17, 1994, the City passed Bylaw No. 1994 - 197, a comprehensive Bylaw to
amend the zoning of the Motel Strip and to implement the provisions of the Secondary Plan.
These Bylaws became the subject of a hearing before the Ontario Municipal Board which
commenced in late 1995. The Ontario Municipal Board approved By-law 1994 - 149 for the
central site on December 18, 1995, and subsequently approved By-law (1994 - 197) for the
remaining lands on February 28, 1996. The Board's decision was appealed by one property
owner on the grounds that the Board erred in law and on June 13, 1996, the Honourable
Justice Steele refused leave to the property owner, to appeal to the Divisional Court.
Property Acquisition
The Motel Strip Secondary Plan, set out a policy commitment to have the lands required for
the Public Amenity Area comprehensively assembled and in public ownership before private
redevelopment was allowed to proceed.

Etobicoke Motel Strip Park Plan
The park planning process was initiated by the Project partners in the spring of 1995. The
consultant team led by Hough Woodland Naylor Dance Limited was retained to prepare a
comprehensive plan of the Waterfront Public Amenity Area in accordance with the
conditions of the exemption request under the Environmental Assessment Act and the
policies of the Etobicoke Motel Strip Secondary Plan.
In May, 1995, a Consultative Committee made up of all property owners, interest groups,
government agencies and the public was initiated to assist in the development of the park
plan. A Technical Committee comprising of representatives from MTRCA, Etobicoke and
Metro has been established to provide day-to-day detailed direction to the consultants.
The study examined and recommended potential uses within the Amenity Area; prepared a
park master plan, recommended design criteria related to these uses and the adjacent public
roads; considered potential shoreline treatment related to the proposed uses; and devised a
strategy to secure implementation of this recommended plan. The park plan has received
approval from the various stakeholders and The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, City
of Etobicoke and the MTRCA. The Park Plan has been incorporated into the Motel Strip
Secondary Plan through Official Plan Amendment No. 46 - 97. The Minister of Environment
and Energy approved the park plan on March 25, 1997 as required by the Environmental
Assessment Exemption.
Site Services
The Etobicoke Motel Strip is the priority project for the City of Etobicoke Infrastructure
funding receiving $11,650,000 to undertake works along Lake Shore Boulevard West,
Waterfront Drive, and the Storm water Quality Treatment Facility. This program provides a
core physical capital asset within the municipality which is instrumental in the provision of
public services pr~r"1o red eveto"ment-O'Ccurring-akmg-the-'Motel' Strip. -This Project will be
undertaken in two phases to allow for the property acquisition to be completed and
lakefilling to be undertaken. The City of Etobicoke has received formal approval for an
extension of the Infrastructure funding until March 31, 1999.
B303 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/97 July 11, 1997
Park Plan - Phase I (Site Development)
Construction began on the amenity area in June 1996 starting with site preparation which
included securing the site with the installation of fencing, site trailer, signage, locating an
access road just east of the Gardiner Expressway ramp, and extending lakeward to the
proposed east-west rubble dyke. Lakefill began in early July 1996, starting in the centre of
the Motel Strip site, with a rubble dyke moving easterly, making the connection with the
Palace Pier area. Once the Palace Pier connection was completed, construction of the
rubble dyke moved in a westerly direction towards the stormwater management facility.
The lakefill has been completed across the entire length of shoreline including the dyke
across the storm water management pond and the filling of the islands for fish compensation
(see attached Fill Plan). Filling will now take place to sub-grade elevations established in the
detailed design process. Final shoreline treatment of the islands will be undertaken this
summer as well as the concrete rubble dyke across the embayment of the proposed wetland
at Humber Bay East. Construction and final shoreline treatment of the three groynes,
located within the beach sector will be undertaken over the next few months.
New Community Name
A new name for the community at the Motel Strip was announced by Etobicoke Council in
April 1997, "Humber Bay Shores". On June 24, 1997, the City held an open house for
developers to promote this new community and its opportunities.
Financial Information
The total expenditure to date is $3,500.477 from an approved project budget of
$8,350,000. Since January 1, 1997, $550,777 has been spent on the main fill operation
fish compensation features and advanced payments for the expropriated parcels. We
anticipate an additional $ 500,000 total expenditures for the remainder of 1997, bringing
the Total Project Costs to approximately $4,000,000.
Construction expenditures will continue through the remainder of 1997. In 1998, pathway
construction, landscaping and the final Waterfront Drive construction will occur.
Expenditures on the property acquisition side are subject to future compensation hearings
under the Expropriations Act or negotiated settlements.

Proposal:
The proposal consists of repairing an existing open-footing box culvert over the East
Humber River which has been damaged during high flow periods. One footing of the culvert
has su.ffered structural deterioration from being exposed by flows causing washing out of
the earth from this area of the structure. The applicant wishes to repair this portion of the
culvert and backfill the area to its original grade.

To alter a watercourse on 53 Yongehurst Road, in the Town of Richmond Hill, Don
River Watershed as located on property owned by Blake and Reta Nash.
The purpose is to pipe a 60 metre section of a small tributary on the Don River.
The permit will be issued from July 11, 1997 to July 10, 1999 in accordance with the
following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
July 11, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/97 B316
Prooosal:
In response to concerns expressed by the home owners adjacent to a small tributary of the
Don River, the Town of Richmond Hill is proposing to pipe a 60 m section of the
watercourse. The home owners have raised concerns of frequent flooding of their yard,
aesthetics because the water becomes stagnant and the channel overgrown with cattails,
safety of their grandchildren and odours. The Town of Richmond Hill Council has approved
the concept of piping the 60 metre section of this watercourse and money has been
budgeted to proceed with the work. In addition to the piping, the watercourse is to be
excavated and lowered downstream to ensure flow conveyance.
The watercourse is an intermittent and ditched remnant tributary of the Don River. The
tributary has been entirely enclosed upstream of the site and only a small section
(approximately 260 m) remains open downstream. The watercourse now forms, for the
most part, the storm sewer system. The drainage area of the storm system is
approximately 60 ha. and is not currently being treated for storm water quality and quantity
control.
Control of Flooding:
The site is not in the Regional Storm flood plain. The pipe is being sized to convey flows
past the home owner's house.
Pollution:
In order to prevent sediment from entering the downstream pipe and the East Don River, the
work will be done under dry conditions.
Conservation of Land:
The Town has initiated a study (Infill and Storm Water Management Strategy) to look at
opportunities to retrofit storm water management facilities or strategies in drainage basins in
the older sections of the Town where redevelopment is being considered. This area is
included in this study and opportunities to undertake water quality treatment and controls
for the upstream drainage will be considered.
Policv Guidelines:
Although the Don Strategy does not generally support the loss of stream length, in this
instance, the watercourse does not currently contribute to the health of the watershed.
However, through the Towns' study, and consistent with one of the goals of the Don
Strategy, there is an opportunity to address storm water management and water quality
treatment in the future for a drainage basin that is currently untreated. The works are in
compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it
relates to Section 3.3 Policies and Procedures for Identifying Watercourse and Alterations.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
To service a residential subdivision, the applicant is proposing to construct a storm outfall,
and a stormwater management pond and outfall. The two structures outlet to a tributary of
the Rouge River, which bisects the development site. The pond is to provide water quality
treatment and downstream erosion protection for a 5 ha area on the east side of the
watercourse. Water quality treatment for the 2 ha development on the west side of the
watercourse will be achieved with a storm sceptre. A pedestrian trail and crossing of the
watercourse is also proposed within the stream corridor.
Control of Floorling'
The pond is to be constructed within the Regional Storm flood plain; but outside of the 100
year flood plain and the riparian area. Changes in the Regional Flood elevations are small
and contained within the stream corridor defined by the lot limits.
There will be no changes in grade for the outfall on the west side. The control of flooding
will not be affected by this work.
Changes in grade may be required in the flood plain to accommodate grading on adjacent
B319 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/97 July 11, 1997
lots. As the site is not fill regulated, this lot grading is being dealt with through discussion
for the plan of subdivision. The trail is currently proposed to be aligned across the proposed
filled area. Impacts on the control of flooding will be assessed prior to a recommendation
made on the proposed filling. The pedestrian crossing will be a footbridge structure. There
will be no changes in grade at the bridge or for the trail (other than noted above) and as
such the control of flooding will not be affected.
Pnlh Itinn'
Sediment fencing and check dams will be installed to contain sediments during the
construction phase.
Cnm;f!rvatinn nf Land.
The watercourse is a tributary of the Rouge River and is type 1 fish habitat. The stream
corridor is heavily vegetated and most of the trees and vegetation are to be protected. The
pond site is currently an open field. The trail and outfalls are to be aligned so to avoid trees.
All disturbed areas in the stream corridor will be restored with native woody vegetation.

July 11, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/97 B320
Propnsal:
The proponent is proposing to construct a storm sewer outfall structure and channel to
service a new proposed residential subdivision (19T -96005). The outfall will be angled with
the direction of the stream flow and the channel design will decrease the velocity of the
water entering the watercourse. This will decrease potential streambank erosion.
Cnntrol nf Flnnding'
The head wall will be located outside of the Regional Storm flood plain with only the
channel located within the Regional Storm flood plain. No grading changes will occur within
the flood plain.
Pnllutinn. .
Sediment fences will be located around the perimeter of the subject property as well as
around the outfall structure. The sediment fence around the outfall structure will prevent
sediment from entering the watercourse as well as help define the limit of disturbance and
preserve any vegetation outside of the work area.
CnnsF!rvatinn nf Land'
The outfall structure will be located within a highly vegetated area. This area is affected by
groundwater seepage making the ground wet. There is no viable alternate location for the
outfall structure. As many trees as possible will be preserved within the affected area. The
affected area will be replanted with native woody species following the completion of all
works. There is a fisheries window associated with this watercourse; therefore, the works
will occur within the time frame of July 1 - March 31.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
July 11, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/97 B326
Proposal:
The Town of Pickering is proposing to undertake some shoreline protection and construct a
new sidewalk and boardwalk along Liverpool Road, north of the bridge over Krosnos Creek
and along the edge of Frenchman's Bay. The proposed boardwalk section is approximately
80 m long and extends from the south limit of Swan's Marina to the south side of the
bridge. This is the same area where the shoreline protection is proposed. Currently the area
is used for fishing and pedestrian access to the waterfront. The sidewalk is adjacent to
Swan's Marina and not near the water. Staff are not concerned with this aspect of the
proposal.
The Town has submitted two alternatives for the boardwalk alignment and shore line
protection works. The staff has requested that Authority staff review both options so that
alternatives may be presented to Pickering Council.
Option 1
The shoreline protection for Option 1 is an arm our stone retaining wall which extends down
into the water at the existing shoreline/water interface. The toe of the retaining wall will
be protected with river run stone a minimum of 500 mm in size. The boardwalk will be
constructed on the top of the retaining wall and extend three metres in width to the edge of
the existing road.
Option 2
The proposed shoreline protection for Option 2 is to place river run stone on the existing
shoreline bank to the edge of the water. The three metre wide board walk will be
constructed on the existing table land. This proposal will require a narrowing of Liverpool
Road to 7 m wide from the edge of Swan's Marina where it is currently 9.75 m wide to the
bridge where it is currently 7 m wide.
Control of Flooding:
The works are to be constructed at existing grade and will not affect the control of flooding.
Both options are adequately designed for the shoreline wave and flooding conditions.
Pollution:
A sediment fence will be installed in the water at the toe of the works to limit the amount
of sediment that enters Frenchman's Bay.
Conservation of Land:
Because of the significant fish resource and function of Frenchman's Bay, Authority staff
prefer Option 2 as there will be less impact caused by the construction. Option 2 is also
more sensitive to the fish habitat. These advantages are marginal; however, and Authority
staff would not'"Object,to~it~r option.
If Option 2 is selected by Council as the preferred alternative, Authority staff will work with
Town staff to incorporate appropriate plantings into the design.

NEW BUSINESS
RES. #B99/97 - CHANGE OF NAME FOR THE AUTHORITY
As a result of the amalgamation of the Cities and Borough and
Metropolitan Toronto into the new City of Toronto, The Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto will no longer exist and therefore the Authority's
name, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, will
technically be obsolete. It is suggested that the Authority adopt a new
name which will reflect the changes brought about by Bill 103, the City
of Toronto Act, 1997.
Moved by: Jim McMaster
Seconded by: Lois Hancey
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the name of The Metropolitan Toronto
and Region Conservation Authority be changed to The Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority;
THAT the approved short form of the name be Toronto Region Conservation Authority;
THA T staff be directed to request the Province of Ontario to include within the City of
Toronto Act (2), the necessary changes to the Conservation Authorities Act which will
implement the name change;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to seek legal council if required, to assist in drafting
the necessary changes for the information of the Province of Ontario.

THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The province of Ontario through Bill 103, the City of Toronto Act, amalgamated the five
cities and one Borough with the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto to form the new City
of Toronto. Although the Authority is not directly involved in the amalgamation, it does
have some impacts on the Authority. These impacts have been addressed in a report to the
Executive Committee at its meeting on June 13, 1997 and staff will be communicating our
interests to the Province of Ontario, Metropolitan Toronto and the Transition Team.
B331 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/97 July 11, 1997
One of the items noted in this report, dealt with the need to change our name to reflect the
changes brought about by Bill 103. The report identified the need to have the Conservation
Authorities Act changed to formalize a new name for this Authority. Staff were directed to
bring this to the attention of the province and request that any subsequent legislation
dealing with the affects of Bill 103, include an appropriate change to the Conservation
Authorities Act with respect to our name.
Almost immediately following the Executive Committee's direction, the Province
introduced the City of Toronto Act, 1997 (No.2). This new Act supplements the City of
Toronto Act, 1997 (No.1) or Sill 103 and therefore there was no opportunity to include in
this first draft, changes to the Conservation Authorities Act which would formalize a new
name.
The supplemental Act deals with a number of details that must be addressed as a result of
Bill 103. One of these details does deal with the Conservation Authorities Act, but only one
section. The change proposed for Section 5 (5). reads as follows:
'" Strike out "'The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and substitute The City of
Toronto"
This Section deals with the number of members that Metropolitan Toronto and now the City
of Toronto, must have on the Authority.
It would appear that there will be a short time frame for comments on this supplemental Bill
and therefore, if we are to have the Conservation Authorities Act amended to implement our
new name, this would be a good opportunity to have this change included as part of The
City of Toronto Act (2).
As suggested in our previous report, the obvious new name would be The Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority and it is recommended that the Province be requested to
include within the final draft of the City of Toronto Act (2), the appropriate amendments to
the Conservation Authorities Act to give affect to this new name.
We have found more marketing and promotional purposes and for situations where it is
difficult to use our complete name, the Authority agreed to the use of Metro Region
Conservation as the official short form. We recommend that we adopt the same approach
with the new name and make Toronto Region Conservation as the approved short form.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
There may be the need for some legal advice from our solicitors to ensure that all of the
necessary 1:~rtges-'are-TdentifTed.cmd'"SmT'te, suggested. W"Ordi"1J 'rs provided for the
information of the Province. This will not be a significant amount.
July 11, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/97 B332
There will also be some costs associated with changing our name, these should be small
given the lead time, for the new name would not take affect until January 1, 1998. This
should be sufficient time to allow us to use up existing letterhead, brochures or other
printed material and to phase in other changes as required. There may also be some small
additional costs in the development and implementation of a communication plan that will
introduce the name change.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Upon receipt of support by the Authority for a new name, the Province will be requested to
include the necessary changes in the City of Toronto Act (2). Assuming the Province is
willing to include the necessary amendments, staff will then begin to develop a phase in
program for the new name and to develop a communications plan to introduce the new
name to our partners and the community.

AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take

BACKGROUND
The subject lands were acquired from W. H. Moore (Estate), on January 22, 1965 under the
Petticoat Creek Conservation Area Project. The property was subject to a 6 metre wide
permanent easement, in favour of The Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCW A) formerly the
Ontario Water Resource Commission, for the construction, inspection, maintenance,
reconstruction, and operation of one or more sewers. This is part of the York-Durham
Sanitary Sewage System.
The province through the Ontario Clean Water Agency is beginning the process of
transferring ownership of the York-Durham Sanitary System to the Regional Municipalities of
York and Durham and in this case is recommending the new easement be in favour of The
Regional Municipality of Durham. The existing easement will eventually be transferred to
the Region.
The Ontario Clean Water Agency acting as Project manager on behalf of the Regional
Municipality of Durham is proposing the twinning of the Rosebank force main across the
Petticoat Creek Conservation Area as part of the improvements to the Rosebank Sewage
Pumping Station and is one of the final stages of the commitment and was approved under
the York-Durham Sanitary Sewage System.
Staff has met with officials from the OCWA, the Regional Municipality of Durham, and their
consultants and has determined that the most practical way to construct the twinning of
the sewer through this area is to widen the easement by 3 metres to the south. A survey
has indicated that during the development of the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area a
number of "trees were-planted-on-the easement, -and-a-picnic shelter and a corner of a
washroom building, constructed over the easement. Under the terms of the easement the
owner has the right to fully use and enjoy the strip subject to and so as not to interfere with
the easement including not installing, erecting any buildings, structures, pavement or
obstruction of any nature whatsoever without written consent of the OCW A. It would
appear that no written permission was received to place the structures on the easement. To
avoid the structural encroachments on the existing easement it is proposed to widened the
easement to 5m for approximately 100 metres.
August 8, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/97 B337
In accordance with Authority policy, an archaeological assessment has been undertaken.
OCWA has agreed to acknowledge and formalize the encroachment.
In addition to the permanent easement rights being granted, the Regional Municipality of
Durham will be utilizing certain additional Authority-owned lands in this area, for temporary
construction purposes.
Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands.

RES. #8106/97 - REOUEST FOR DISPOSAL OF AUTHORITY-OWNED LAND
In the vicinity of No. 12 Ravinder Court, City of Brampton
Etobicoke Creek Watershed. CFN 28521
The Authority is in receipt of a request, to consider disposing of
fragments of Authority-owned tableland in the vicinity of No.12
Ravinder Court, City of Brampton, in the Etobicoke Creek Watershed.
Moved by: Michael Di Biase
Seconded by: Maria Augimeri
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Authority-owned holdings adjacent
to residential properties in the vicinity of No. 12 Ravinder Court in the City of Brampton,
Regional Municipality of Peel be retained for conservation purposes. . . . . . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Authority received a request from Ms. Teresa Di Nardo of 12 Ravinder Court regarding
the possibility for her and several of her neighbours purchasing fragments of Authority-
owned tablelands at the rear of their properties on Ravinder Court, City of Brampton,
Etobicoke Creek Watershed. Under Resolution #B14/97, adopted on March 7, 1997, at
Meeting #1/97, the Executive Committee directed staff to carry out a technical review of
the land requested for disposal by the adjacent owners.
The Authority's technical staff has carried out an extensive review of this location. The
subject land is an irregular shaped parcel approximately 35 metres long as shown on the
attached plan. The distance to the top of bank ranges between 2 and 10m from the rear
property lines. The Authority owns the valleylands along this reach and they are under
management agreement with the City of Brampton.
The Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program identifies the valley corridor as
extending 10 metres inland from the top of bank. Disposing of the subject fragment of
tableland along this reach of valley corridor would eliminate the existing tableland buffer
currently in public ownership. Staff is of the opinion that the subject parcel should be
retained for conservation purposes.

BACKGROUND
Annual siltation of the Coatsworth Cut navigation channel has reduced the water depths to
an unsafe condition for boating. The entrance channel leads to the public boat launching
ramps at Ashbridge's Bay Waterfront Park as well as the boating clubs. Coatsworth Cut
was last dredged in 1994 and 1995.
Tenders were advertised for the dredging and disposal of material at the containment cell at
Tommy Thompson Park. In addition, the Toronto Harbour Commission (THC) has been
invited to submit their written quotation to undertake the work. The THC has the
necessary equipment and completed the dredging for the Authority in 1995.
The Toronto Harbour Commissioners operate the containment Cells at Tommy Thompson
Park and have approved the following disposal fee:
(1 ) For annual project volume, less than 2,000 cubic metres; $6.00 per cubic metre
(2) For annual project volume between 2,000 cubic metres and 5,000 cubic metres;
$12,000 plus $8.00 per cubic metre over 2,000.
(3) For annual project volume over 5,000 cubic metres; $36,000 plus $10.00 per cubic
metre over 5,000.
The disposal fees are based on scow measure of material dredged and is based on the fees
established in 1995. The higher costs for disposal is based on the anticipated increased
volume of material to be dredged.
August 8, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/97 B351
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Dredging will be undertaken by marine equipment for up to an estimated 6,000 cubic metres
of material. The dredged material will be transported to the containment cell at Tommy
Thompson Park by marine equipment. The contract will be supervised by Authority staff.
Based on the estimated 8,300 cubic metres (scow measure) of material to be dredged, the
total cost for disposal fees would be $68,800.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal
Metro Parks and Culture has identified a safety concern with the existing bicycle and
walking trail which swings around the Metro Police Dog Training Facility on the former
Domtar Site. The trail, as it exists, is steep and has two points where there is no proper line
of site for cyclists. As an alternative, a new trail is to be constructed adjacent to the Don
River and west of the dog facility which links up to the existing trail to the north and south
of the area of concern.
The proposed new trail alignment for the most part is located on an old gravel access route
which is currently used informally as a trail. The exception to this is where the new trail is
aligned to meet the existing trail north of the dog facility. At this point the trail will cut
through some existing woody vegetation and up a slope. The alignment has been chosen to
minimise the loss of trees and will take advantage of a terrace in the slope so that the
grades are shallow and safe.
The trail is to be 3 metres wide and covered with asphalt.
B372 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/97 August 8,1997
Metro staff is satisfied that his new alignment will address their safety concerns.
Discussions are on-going with respect to the final disposition of the existing trail. Pursuant
to the recommendations of the Lower Don River Regeneration Strategy, Metro staff and
Authority staff have begun preliminary discussions on a proposed master plan for trails
through the former Domtar Site.
Control of Flooding
The works will not require any filling in the flood plain. Requirements for regrading for the
trail is small and will not cause any change in flood flows.
Pollution
Fencing will be required to define the work area and prevent sediment from entering the
watercourse.
Conservation of Land
The alignment of the trail will be outside of the riparian area. We are working with Metro
Parks to re-establish riparian vegetation in some of the areas adjacent to the new trail.

of Metropolitan Toronto; Plan P-1036-26; received July 8,1997.
RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
An existing culvert which conveys drainage under O'Connor Drive is leaking and causing the
bedding of O'Connor Drive to collapse. The municipality is proposing to jack and bore a
new culvert under the road. The road bisects a tributary valley of the Don River which is fill
regulated. The embankments are steep, more than 10m in height and are heavily vegetated
with mature trees.
August 8,1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/97 8373
Control of Flooding:
The works are not in the flood plain and will not affect the control of flooding.
Pollution:
The work will be done under dry conditions. There is no well defined watercourse channel
so it is unlikely that sediment will reach the Don River.
Conservation of Land:
Because there was evidence that the road bed was saturated, a geotechnical report was
undertaken which is satisfactory to MTRCA staff and which gives recommendations for the
culvert design and construction practices.
An access road is required on both sides of the road and within the valley for the auguring.
Fencing will be erected to prevent any unnecessary tree loss. To the extent possible, tree
removal will be avoided. Any trees removed will be replaced with native species. The
disturbed area is to be topsoiled and seeded following completion of the construction.

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prooosal
Toogood Pond in the Village of Unionville has become very shallow because of the
accumulation of sediments. The pond and adjacent park is a recreation focal point for the
Village. The accumulation of sediments has compromised some of the traditional recreation
value of the pond such as fishing and skating. However, the same process has resulted in
the creation of a wetland at the upstream end which has been designated Provincially
Significant by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), an Environmentally Significant Area
by this Authority and a significant natural feature in Markham's Natural Features Study.
In order to address the loss of recreational amenity, the Town of Markham initiated an
Environmental Assessment under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Process.
After extensive consultation with the public. MNR, MTRCA, and the Rouge Alliance, it was
agreed to undertake a three phased project that allowed for the traditional use of the pond
as a recreation facility, protected the wetland, provided fish passage past the dam and
enhanced the lish and adjacent terrestrial environments. The works are to be funded by the
Town of Markham and the Rouge Alliance.
August 8, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/97 B375
At the first phase, approximately 1/3 of the upstream area of the open water pond is
proposed to be dredged. This will remove the majority of the accumulated sediments
outside of the wetland area and provide a deeper pool area for sediments to accumulate in
the future. A buffer of 30 m from the wetland edge will be provided. An additional small
deep area will be dredged adjacent to the shore and a pier will be constructed to provide
access for fishing.
The dredged material is to be stockpiled outside of the flood plain within the Toogood Pond
Park and will be regraded into a toboggan run when the material has dried out. The
dredgeate is not contaminated and meets the Ministry of Environment and Energy's criteria
for placement within a park.
The fish bypass will be constructed on the west side of the dam as a second phase. The
final design of this bypass is still under review but it is intended to provide both fish
passage and a method to draw down the pond for repairs or dredging in the future.
The third phase will be the enhancement of the entire shoreline with a trail, fishing
platforms, viewing areas, plantings, and habitat structures. The design will allow better
access to the pond for people but will also provide enhanced fish and terrestrial habitats.
One of the concerns raised by the users of the park is the nuisance goose population. The
shoreline enhancements are designed to discourage use of the area by geese. It is
anticipated that the plantings and perhaps other shoreline enhancements will be undertaken
by public interest groups.
The timing of these phases is still under discussion. However, the dredging is scheduled to
go forward this summer with the remainder of the project being completed by 1998.
Control of Flooding
There is to be no change in grade within the flood plain; therefore the works will not impact
the control of flooding.
The proposed pier and viewing areas are to be located outside of the hydraulic flood way .
Pollution
A silt curtain which hangs in the water and isolates the dredging site or some other similar
form of sediment control will be in place for the period of the dredging. This work will also
be done under low flow conditions minimizing the amount of sediment moving downstream.
The shoreline may cause some disturbance but any sediment suspended in the water will
likely remain in the pond.
Sediment fencing will be installed around the stockpile area. Water from the pile will drain
towards the pond but will go through a series of checK dams and a stilling basin first. The
effectiveness of this proposed sediment control will be monitored and adjusted if necessary.
Conservation of Land
The works will result in the protection of the existing wetland and provide enhanced fish
and terrestrial habitats. All construction in the pond will occur within the fisheries timing
guidelines as specified by the Ministry of Natural Resources.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prnpn~al:
The applicant is proposing to construct a 600mm diameter watermain under Burndenet
Creek using the jacking and boring technique. This technique involves constructing two
temporary shafts (one on each side of the watercourse) for the watermain to be directed
into and then bored under the watercourse. Access roads will be constructed adjacent to
16th Avenue but will be removed following the completion of all works.
Cnntrnl nf Flnnding'
No change in grade will occur with the proposed works; therefore, the control of flooding
will not be affected.
Pnlllltinn'
Silt fences will be erected on both banks between the temporary shafts and the
watercourse. All works will occur between August and September in order to ensure the
flows within the watercourse are at their lowest. This time frame also allows the work to
occur within the appropriate fisheries window.
Cnn~ervatinn nf land'
The works will not cause damage to the watercourse or the riparian zone. The existing
riparian area is well vegetated. The temporary shafts will cause minimal disturbance to the

Proposal
To service a residential subdivision on the east side of Kennedy Road and future residential
development on the west side of Kennedy Road, the applicant is proposing to construct a
storm water management pond and a storm water outlet to the Bruce Creek. The pond is
located at the uppermost end of a small tributary of the Bruce Creek. The pond is to
provide water quality treatment by attenuating the 25mm storm for a 48-hour period for
102.1 ha of residential development within the Berczy Village Community. The pond will
also provide water quantity control of the 2 to 100 year storm to pre-development levels.
As a component of the Markham Urban Expansion Study, a recommendation for a
storm water management pond in this general location was made to best service the
August 8, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/97 8379
proposed residential developments within the least number of storm water management
facilities.
Control of Flooding
The pond is located outside of the regulatory floodplain and, therefore, will have no affect
on the control of flooding.
The applicant has yet to provide details of the proposed outlet structure to the Bruce Creek;
however, we will require that the design be such that no grading changes will occur to
facilitate the outfall, thereby ensuring no significant impacts to flood storage or flood
passage.
Pollution
Sediment fencing and rock check dams will be installed to contain sediments during the
construction phase.
Conservation of Land
The watercourse is a tributary of the Bruce Creek which has no in-situ fish habitat but
contributes to downstream fish habitat. The pond has been designed to utilize the contours
of the land to minimize the impacts to the landform. No details of the outfall have been
submitted to date; however, the outfall will be aligned to minimize impacts to existing
woody vegetation and all disturbed areas will be restored with native woody vegetation.

ProDosal
The applicant is proposing to construct a storm outfall to Lake Ontario to service a plan of
subdivision. The storm pipe is to be bored under the railway tracks, open cut through the
2.5 m high bluff face and outfall at the foot of the bluff. The storm water will then flow
across armour stone protection on the beach to the water.
The outfall will not compromise the future waterfront trail. Discussions are underway for
the conveyance of the remaining portion of waterfront lands, owned by the applicant, into
public ownership. The applicant is also discussing the possibility of accessing the
construction site on an existing laneway on MTRCA lands.
Control of FloodinQ
These works will not affect the control of flooding.
Pollution
Fencing will be used to confine the area of disturbance on the beach. Sediment controls and
water quality treatment will be provided within the subdivision to ensure that sediments will
not enter the lake.
Conservation of Land

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal
In order to service an approved plan of subdivision and provide lot grading, the applicant is
proposing to place up to 2.5 m of fill on a shallow slope where the development abuts the
stream corridor. The filling is to be done in thin layers and compacted. The maximum
resulting slope will be 3 horizontal to 1 vertical. The proposed lots are extra deep in this
area and the newly created slope will form a portion of the rear lots and appropriately zoned
restricting its use. The filling option will eliminate the need for retaining walls.
No Quantity control is required for this site. Storm runoff is to be treated with two Storm
Septors within the storm water management system. The minor system flow is to be
directed by a outlet and channel down the ditch on the west side of Brock Road and will be
dispersed into the valley as sheet flow.
Control of Flooding
The works are not in the flood plain and will not impact the control of flooding. In addition,
a study was done to demonstrate that the subdivision can be outlet uncontrolled without
impacting storm flows.
August 8,1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/97 B383
Pollution
The works will not impact pollution.
Conservation of Land
Authority staff is satisfied that the resulting slope will be stable. In addition, the new slope
will be planted with native trees and shrubs.
The design of the outlet and erosion protection will result in the flow being dispersed into
the valley without risk of erosion. Our staff is currently reviewing potential impacts on the
vegetation community.

B384 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/97 August 8, 1997
ProDosal:
In order to expand Deer Creek Golf & Country Estates, numerous improvements to the
existing golf course are proposed. The proponent wishes to place approximately
206 metres of material onto an existing tee deck in order to increase its size. Three new
bridges are being constructed over existing tributaries of Carruthers Creek. These bridges
are to be used for both maintenance access purposes and golf cart access. Two new cart
paths are being constructed on the subject property, connecting the existing golf course to
the new expansion holes. The paths will be constructed with compacted aggregate and
paved at a later date. The final improvement to the property is the widening of an existing
swale by removing 400 metres of material.
Control of Flooding:
The fill placement is not occurring within the regional storm floodplain; therefore, the
control of flooding will not be affected. The new bridges are being installed across existing
tributaries of Carruthers Creek, with the footings of the bridges located far enough away
from the existing watercourse to have no effect on the stream bank. There will be no
changes in grade with these works. The cart paths are being constructed outside of the
regional storm flood plain; therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected. All
stockpiling of material will occur outside of the floodplain and will have no effect on the
control of flooding.
Pollution:
Silt fences are being erected between all works and the existing watercourse to ensure
sediment does not enter the watercourse. All machinery needed for the bridge construction
will remain outside of the watercourse and will be moved once the works are complete. No
significant resource features will be affected by these works.
Conservation of Land:
All affected areas will be stabilized with seeding or sodding following the completion of all
works. One tributary will be extensively rehabilitated following the completion of all works.
This tributary will have a variety of native woody species planted within its riparian zone.
Edge management planting will also occur adjacent to two existing woodlands on the
subject property. This planting will establish a buffer zone between the golf course and the
existing woodland.
Policy Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program, Section 4.2.2 (H) - Existing Resource-based Uses.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prooosal
The applicant is proposing to construct a driveway through the Regional Storm Flood Plain
of the East German Mills Creek to access a house site at the rear of the property which is
not in the flood plain. The driveway will be constructed approximately .2 metres above
grade except adjacent to Gamble Road and over a culvert required to convey drainage from
the west. At these locations, the fill will be approximately .6 metres in depth.
The site is also heavily treed and has been identified through OPA 118 and as an
environmental protection area. In this regard, a tree protection plan has been done and the
driveway has been aligned to avoid as many trees as possible.
Control of Flooding
The filling for the driveway has been minimized and there is no measurable impact on flood
elevations upstream or downstream of the site. The maximum depth of flooding over the
driveway is 0.8 m under Regional Storm conditions. Safe access is achievable by
emergency vehicles on the driveway and by foot through the rear of the property.
Pollution
Sediment fencing and check dams will be in place to prevent sediment from entering the
East German Mills Creek that is located at the east limit of the property.
Conservation of Land
Fencing is to be installed on the property to limit impacts to the existing wood lot. An
edge management plan is also required to protect the adjacent trees.

August 8,1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/97 8387
BACKGROUND
Because the Authority was in the midst of its business plan process and restructuring,
replacement of vehicles in 1996 was delayed. The vehicles tendered must be replaced in
1997. Replacement is determined by the condition of the vehicle including mechanical
fitness (cost/benefit of repairs), use of the vehicle, age and mileage or hours of use.
Because of uncertainty about the timing of delivery of replacement vehicles, trade-in has
proved to be the most efficient method of disposal. The Authority has few, if any, back-up
vehicles and minimal parking facilities. Accordingly, it is best to turn over the old vehicle
when the new vehicle is delivered.
Replacement of equipment is based on the mechanical fitness, age, hours of use and type of
use. Equipment will be disposed of by public auction.
The value of new vehicles and equipment to be acquired is included in the 1997 Budget
adopted at Authority Meeting #2/97 held on April 4, 1997 by resolution #A23/97.
The details of the proposed replacement and disposal of vehicle and equipment and the
purchase of new equipment were approved at the Finance and Business Development
Advisory Board Meeting #3/97 held on June 13, 1997 by resolution #F24/97.
In accordance with the Policy and Procedures for the Purchase of Goods and Services and
Disposal of Equipment, 23 tender packages were sent to dealers for the seven vehicles and
a minimum of three tender packages were sent for the four pieces of equipment.
The members of the Tender Opening Sub-Committee, at their meeting # 9/97, opened
tenders for the vehicles and equipment listed below on July 25, 1997. The tenders received
were referred to staff for review and report to the Executive Committee Meeting #6/97, on

RES. #8112/97 - VIOLATION NOTICE #1626 (ONTARIO REGULATION 158)
Resolution of a Violation Notice #1626 pursuant to Ontario Regulation
158, Vita Community Living Services, on Part Lot 15, Concession 8,
135 and 139 Simmons Street, City of Vaughan. Humber River Watershed
Moved by: Michael Oi Biase
Seconded by: Jim McMaster
THA T staff be directed to resolve Violation Notice #1626 affecting 135 and 139 Simmons
Street, City of Vaughan, by requiring the owner, Vita Community Living Services to replant
the sites to the maximum extent possible upon completion of construction and that
appropriate arrangements are made to require them to decommission the private sewage
disposals systems and restore the land if and when municipal sanitary services become
available;
THA T Vita Community Living Services be advised that failure to comply by December 15,
1997 will result in charges being laid by the Authority;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to work with the Region of York and City of
Vaughan to improve consultation and notification procedures for development approvals
affecting lands of interest to the Authority. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. CARRIED
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION (See Figure 1)
Simmons Street is a small dead end street extending south from Rutherford Road,
immediately west of Highway 27. It is located entirely on the lower slopes and floor of the
Main Humber River valley. Highway 27 is also within the valley at this location. The
Humber River is located east of Highway 27. There are several developed, residential lots
along Simmons Street (three on the west side immediately across from the subject sites and
one about 90 metres north on the east side of the street). The two subject lots, 135 and
139 Simmons Street, are located towards the north end of the street on the east side and
are entirely within the Authority's fill regulation lines. The lots are not flood susceptible.
Neither lot was developed and both were heavily vegetated.
BACKGROUND
On June 23, 1997, enforcement staff issued a Violation Notice to various parties for work
that was being carried out in violation of Ontario Regulation 158 at 135 and 139 Simmons
Street. At the time the Violation Notice was issued, both lots had been substantially
altered. The front halves of the lots had been cleared and the grades altered through
excavation. (The excavated material consisted of unconsolidated soils and rubble which had
previously been dumped on the site.) A fill permit for the work had not been obtained. It
was learned that Vita Community Living Services was the current owner of the lots and that
they had commenced work on a project to construct two 3500 sq. ft. group homes for the
disabled that were to be serviced by private sewage disposal systems (septics). See Figure
2. It was further learned that they had all development approvals necessary except for an
Authority fill permit.
8392 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/97 August 8, 1997
Upon receipt of the Violation Notice, Vita Community Living Services, suspended all work
and contacted Authority staff to determine how the violation may be resolved. Discussions
resulted in the following information being pieced together:
. 'In 1995 the City of Vaughan enacted a By-law amendment affecting 135 Simmons
Street which provided for a reduction in the minimum lot area in a residential zone in
the anticipation of two lots being created. The amendment also set out building
envelopes as well as locations for septic tile beds. The York Region Health
Department required detailed design of the septic beds to address their concerns
regarding undersized lots. Staff researched our files and could not find any record of
being circulated this By-law amendment and were not contacted by York Region
staff regarding the septic system design.
. In 1995, 332573 Ontario Ltd. made application to sever 135 Simmons Street to
create two lots. Although the site was within the valley, Authority staff supported
the severance subject to suitable building envelopes being established to our
satisfaction, geotechnical investigations and permits being obtained. The City of
Vaughan Committee of Adjustment approved the severance with these three
conditions. All conditions needed to be satisfied within twelve months otherwise the
severance approval would lapse. Staff subsequently received a letter from EMC
Group Ltd., the agent for 332573 Ontario Ltd., enclosing a "Letter of Undertaking"
agreeing to fulfill the conditions listed in the Committee of Adjustment approval prior
to the issuance of a building permit and further to advise any subsequent owner of
the above noted requirements. Staff accepted this letter of undertaking and
subsequently issued a letter to the Vaughan Committee of Adjustment clearing the
conditions. Again, there is no information in the file relating to the zoning by-law
amendment.
. Vita Community Living Services purchased the lots after they had been severed.
They advised staff that they were not made aware of the "Letter of Undertaking"
when they purchased the lots. They developed their plans to comply with the
approved By-law and proceeded to obtain final Health Department approvals and
building permits and to secure the capital funding necessary to construct their
project. The City of Vaughan did not notify us of the building permit application nor
require that a site plan clearance be given by the Authority. Vita Community Living
Services has also obtained a Provincial operating grant to support the project upon
its completion; however, there are time restrictions that they must meet in order to
obtain the funds. When they began construction, they advise that they thought they
had all approvals necessary.
August 8,1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/97 8393
DISCUSSION & RATIONALE
It was only after the Violation Notice was issued that staff received any development plans
for the site. We were concerned with the extent of site alteration required to accommodate
the proposed development as staff, in supporting the lot severance, envisioned establishing
building envelopes that minimized disturbance. The fill that had been placed several years
ago may have created suitable building areas. Regardless of what we may have done, the
difficulty was in determining how we might proceed in light of our concerns for restoration,
the owner's's concern for the viability of their project and the development approvals that
had already been granted. Staff felt that the best solution was to try to limit development
to the portions of the lots that had already been disturbed.
Meetings were held with the owners and their architect, York Region Health Department
staff and the City of Vaughan Chief Building Officer to explore this possible solution.
Changes to building design (eg. build one, 2- storey home, proceed with only one home,
reduce lot setbacks, etc.) were discussed; however, the owner strongly believes that any
revisions of this nature at this stage in the process compromises the viability of this
community project and adversely affects their clients. Changes to the private sewage
disposal systems aren't possible either. The design and location of the systems are
restricted by site constraints (soils, grades, occupancy) not planning setbacks. There is no
immediate opportunity to connect to municipal services which would confidently allow the
use of holding tanks (thereby eliminating the disturbance associated with the tile fields) as
an interim measure.
It became apparent that, the only solution available that allows the project to proceed as
currently approved is extensive post construction planting which the owner has agreed to
do. The owner has also expressed their willingness to decommission the septic beds and
replant the area iflwhen municipal sanitary services are available. Given the approvals
granted to date, and our limited ability to now influence the design of the project without
compromising its feasibility, staff believe this is a reasonable way to resolve the violation on
these lots.
It is therefore recommended that staff be directed to work with the owner to achieve the
above, and subject to their compliance, staff be directed not to proceed with charges and
prosecution. We have 6 months from the date of violation notice in which to lay charges.
Staff has also discussed with the Region and City the need to improve consultation and
notification procedures for development approvals and will be working with them towards
that end.

Association, and the Office of the Greater Toronto Area be so advised.
A Request for Proposal has been forwarded to three consulting firms: Atria Engineering
Hydraulics Inc., W.F. Baird and Associates, and Shoreplan Engineering Limited. The main
tasks of the consultant are to prepare a study design report providing three detailed
concept options for the shoreline improvements and a coastal analysis for each option.
This report will assist the Authority in the preparation of an environmental document to
satisfy Environmental Assessment Act requirements as determined by the Ministry of the
August 8, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/97 8397
Environment and Energy. The consultant will also provide the engineering design drawings
of the recommended concept for the shoreline improvements works to allow for approvals
under the NWPA, Federal Fisheries Act and any other required approvals.
The Authority has also requested a proposal from Totten Sims Hubicki Associates to assist
in the public amenity elements of the shoreline and integration of the pedestrian
tunnel/access to the community. As consultants for the Port Union Village Common Study,
their participation on the consultant team will ensure consistency and integration of the
shoreline works with the community plan.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Staff will proceed to establish a Working Committee with representation from the
community associations, the elected representatives and key agencies that will provide
direction to the consulting team. The first meeting of the Working Committee will be on
Thursday, August 14, 1997.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The initial design and approval of the work will be carried out under the 1997 Metro capital
allocation ($400,000) under the Lake Ontario Waterfront Regeneration Project 1995-1999
for this section of shoreline.
An implementation strategy, including a funding partnership, will be prepared prior to the
Authority approving the construction of the shoreline and waterfront trail works.
The following information was circulated at the meeting:
The Authority received a proposal from Totten Sims Hubicki for the public amenity elements
of the shoreline and integration of the pedestrian tunnel/access to the community at a cost
of $7500. excluding G.S.T.
The Authority received the following three proposals from coastal consultants for the
Shoreline Improvements Study:
1 ) A TRIA Engineering Inc. $54,945.
2) Shoreplan Engineering Limited $44,000.
3) W.F. Baird & Associates $59,991.
NOTE: All prices exclude G.S. T.
In the Request for Proposal all consultants were given an estimated project budget of
$60,000 excluaing- G~:T. for the coastal engineering and design components of the Study.
B398 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/97 August 8, 1997
RATIONALE
Staff have evaluated Totten Sims Hubicki's proposal and find it addresses all the
requirements of the Terms of Reference. In addition, the fee and staff allocation for the
tasks are reasonable.
Authority staff have undertaken a detailed evaluation of all three coastal consultant
proposals including level of effort by senior staff, distribution of effort between the study
components (coastal process inventories, alternative concepts, final design and
public/working committee), technical expertise and modelling applications.
Based on the evaluation, all three consultants demonstrated exceptional skills and
experience relevant to the project requirements.
The deciding factors for selecting Shoreplan Engineering Limited were based on their
familiarity with the study area and involvement with the recently completed Integrated
Shoreline Management Plan (MTRCA).
Staff are confident that Shoreplan Engineering Limited will provide the necessary analysis
and detailed design within an upset limit of $44,000. excluding G.S.T.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
In compliance with the recommendations of the functional servicing and storm water report
for OPA 21, the applicant is proposing to upgrade an existing dry storm water pond that was
constructed in the early 1980's to a wet water quality and erosion control facility. Water
quantity will continue to be detained to pre,development levels up to the 100 year storm.
The existing pond which is located in the valley corridor will be excavated out, and the
existing inlet and outlet structures modified to provide the appropriate controls. The outfall
channel to the watercourse will not be altered.
The new pond will provide water quality treatment, quantity control and erosion protection
for a 42.5 ha site which represents most of the "civic centre" area of OPA 21.
September 5, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #7/97 8430
Control of Flooding:
The pond is located within the flood plain. However, there will be no berming or placement
of fill which would impact the control of flooding.
Pollution:
Sediment fencing around the pond site and access road, and a rock check dam at the outfall
will provide sediment controls during reconstruction of the pond. All disturbed areas will be
stabilised with seed or sod immediately following construction. The pond will be used as a
sediment control facility during construction of the developing area.
Conservation of Land:
The existing and proposed pond are located approximately 25 m from the watercourse at
the closest point and are outside the 100 year flood plain.
There are no significant resource features at the site of the pond. The riparian area will be
enhanced with native woody vegetation.
The Rouge River at this location is type 1 habitat. Through the retrofit, water quality
treatment to a type 2 habitat will be achieved. Authority staff is satisfied that this is the
maximum treatment possible through this pond upgrade.
Policv Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 4.2 Infrastructure and Servicing.

Prooosal:
The proposal consists of placing fill material for lot grading purposes within a proposed 236
lot residential subdivision known as Heritage Hills - Phase II (File 21 T -96001 C). Only a small
portion of the development area at the northwest perimeter of the site is located within the
Fill Regulated Area of the Humber River.
Control of Flooding:
No part of the development is situated within the Regional Storm flood plain. The
storm water management pond constructed for Heritage Hills - Phase I has been designed to
control storm water quantity for the development of the Phase II lands. Post development
flows will match pre-development run-off for the 2 through 100 year storm events.
September 5, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #7/97 8432

Pollution:
There will be three sediment basins constructed within the Phase II boundaries which are
designed to provide a minimum of 250 cubic metres of storage per hectare of drainage area
for settlement of silt, generated during the grading of the site. The new storm sewer system
will contain catchbasin sediment traps to prevent constructed-generated sediments from
migrating to the Phase I storm water quantity control pond. Silt fencing will also be installed
around the perimeter of the site to impede the overland migration of sediments from other
areas of the property.

To alter a watercourse on Part lot 18, Concession 7 (Albion), (15570 Mount
Hope Road), in the Town of Caledon, Humber River Watershed as located on
property owned by same.
The purpose is to alter a tributary of the Humber River by installing a 0.6 metre diameter
culvert to create a farm animal paddock area adjacent to an existing barn.
The permit will be issued for the period of September 5, 1997 to September 4, 1999.
1. Site Plan for Paddock Area and Fencing; prepared by the applicant; received August
25,1997.
RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
The proposal corrsists'utinsta1ling a 0:6 metre diameter cl11vert within an intermittent
tributary of the Humber River to create a paddock area for farm animals. The new paddock
area is 100 metres in length and is located adjacent to a barn building constructed last Fall.
The culvert installation/paddock filling work has been completed prior to the issuance of a
permit under Ontario Regulation 158, this work was also constructed in the Fall of 1996.
The site is presently not fill regulated; however, fill lines are proposed to encircle this stream
corridor as part of the Authority's on'going Fill Regulation Extension Program. The
watercourse at this location drains an upstream area greater than 125 hectares.
8433 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #7/97 September 5, 1997
Control of Flooding:
Authority staff has determined that the fill material already in-place will create a backwater
effect, extending 80 to 120 metres upstream of the site. As a result of the backwater, an
existing driveway on adjacent lands owned by the applicant's brother will be impacted.
Staff has requested written acceptance of the increase in flooding caused by the filled
paddock area from the neighbouring landowner. Although the paddock area is located
within the flood prone area, the previously constructed barn is located outside the Regional
Storm flood plain, as determined and calculated by Authority technical staff.
Pollution:
In consultation with staff, the applicant has agreed to fence the perimeter of the paddock
area, as well as the stream corridor upstream and downstream of the site, to restrict farm
animals from the watercourse. In addition, a manure storage facility has been installed
within the new barn to prevent animal-produced wastes from entering the watercourse.
Runoff from the paddock area will be directed to vegetated swales prior to entering the
watercourse.
Conservation of Land:
The inlet and outlet areas of the installed culvert will be armoured to prevent erosion during
high flow periods. The paddock will be revegetated to serve as a pasturing area for farm
animals. The area of fenced-in land upstream and downstream of the paddock will be left
undisturbed and allowed to naturalize. Staff has suggested that native trees and shrubs be
planted within the riparian zone.
Policv Guidelines:
The extent of waterway alteration involved in this proposal is not usually recommended as
100 metres of the watercourse has been contained within a culvert. However, during an
inspection last fall, it became evident that there is no defined channel of continuous flow
within the stream corridor upstream of the subject lands. In many places upstream, the
watercourse was found in a dry state, with grass being mowed by the respective property
owners across the channel. Staff also found the absence of continuous flow downstream
of the applicant's property; however, there are pockets of heavy cat-tail growth along the
watercourse.
In staff's opinion, based on previous site visits, there is no fish habitat throughout this reach
of the stream corridor, nor was there aquatic life present prior to the culvert installation!
paddock area filling work. Furthermore, staff has confirmed that the construction activity
did not impact the fishery located further downstream.

this phase of the subdivision. The area of existing toe erosion is located within the Regional
Storm flood plain of the Etobicoke Creek; the upper portion of the eroding valley wall is Fill
Regulated.
September 5, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #7/97 B436
Control of Flooding:
The proposed slope restoration work will not impact the hydraulics of the flood plain.
Pollution:
The area of toe protection along the Etobicoke Creek channel will be isolated so that this
part of the works can occur under dewatered conditions. Silt fencing will be installed above
the toe protection and maintained until the upper portion of the valley wall has been
revegetated.
Conservation of land:
Natural channel material will be used for the toe protection work (ie. Field boulders and
river-run stone) and the upper slope will be revegetated with native plantings. The
restoration drawings have been reviewed and accepted by staff; some minor revisions
requested by staff is presently being added to the plans.
Policv Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 3.3 - Policies and Procedures for Identifying
Watercourses and Alterations - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program.

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal involves the construction of a 6 storey residential condominium building and
the placement of fill material around the exterior walls (ie. East and south sides) to allow
for screening vegetation (trees and shrubs) adjacent to a new valley trail to be constructed
on the neighbouring Authority-owned lands. The entire site is located within the Regional
Storm flood plain and Fill Regulated Area of the Humber River, as well as the Woodbridge
Special Policy Area (SPA).
Control of Flooding:
The proposed building will be floodproofed to the 350 year storm elevation, which is the
minimum level of flood protection for new buildings within the SPA. The first floor of the
new structure will consist of commercial uses; the upper residential units will be situated
above the Regional Storm flood elevation. The foundation of the building has been designed
to withstand the hydrostatic pressures during a Regional Storm flood event.
Pollution:
Silt fencing will be installed to impede the overland migration of sediment during
construction. The new storm sewer system will be fitted with a water quality control
device (ie. Stormcepter or oil grit separator catchbasin) in order to enhance the quality of
runoff prior to entering the Humber River through the existing outfall structure.
Conservation of Land:
All filled and disturbed areas around the proposed valley trail will be revegetated with native
tree, shrub and herbaceous plants.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Sections 4.2.1 - Development and
Redevelopment/lntensification within Established CommunitieslHighly Urbanized Areas and
Section 4.1.2 - New Resource Based,Uses - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor
Management Program, as well as the Woodbridge SPA (City of Vaughan Official Plan

To alter a watercourse on Part lot 1, Concession 11, (east of the Caledon-
Vaughan Townline Road, south of Caledon 5 Sideroad - Bolton), in the City of
Vaughan, Humber River Watershed as located on property owned by Rick
Gabriele.
The purpose is to alter an intermittent tributary of the Humber River by replacing the outlet
control structure and emergency spillway of an existing pond.
The permit will be issued for the period of September 5, 1997 to September 5, 1999.

1996; received August 26, 1997.
RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
In 1990, staff of the Town of Caledon and The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (MTRCA) approved a Master Drainage Plan (MOP) for the Bolton-
South Hill area. This MOP was updated in 1994. As part of the update the consultants for
the proponents had noted that the increased duration of flows out letting from two
previously approved ponds (Ponds 2 and 3) would have the potential to impact the dam
structure of a pond located immediately downstream in the City of Vaughan (known as
Pond 'A' in the MOP). In order to correct this problem the Town of Caledon has secured
funding to replace the outlet structure and emergency spillway of pond" A" located along an
intermittent tributary of the Humber River. Written authorization has been obtained from
the owner to carry out the works.
Control of Flooding:
The ponds within the Bolton - South Hill area have been designed with a combination of
water quantity control (2 through 100 year) and quality 25mm - 24 hour detention) run-off
control. The site is currently not fill regulated and floodlines have not been calculated for
the Pond" A" intermittent watercourse due to the small upstream drainage area (78
hectares) .
Pollution:
An erosion and sediment control plan has been found acceptable by staff. The majority of
the construction works can occur in dry conditions through staging. Sediment fences and a
vegetated buffer -witt-atsu be 1JSed 'to l;ulltro1 adjacent grading activities.
Conservation of Land:
The Town has undertaken to provide a comprehensive restoration planting plan. As there is
currently no woody vegetation in the area, this will represent an increase in the habitat and
water quality functions along the storm water drainage route.

dated August 29, 1997; received September 2, 1997.
RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The applicant wishes to correct on-going streambank erosion along a tributary of the
Humber River by armouring the toe of the bank and backfilling the eroded area behind the
new armoured toe. Approximately 20 metres of streambank will be reinstated along the
outside bend of an oxbow along this reach of the watercourse. At the northern-most point
of the subject property, the stream channel coincides with the rear boundary of the lands.
Written authorization from the adjacent landowners has been obtained for the proposed
works. The construction site is located within the Regional Storm flood plain and Fill
Regulated Area of the tributary stream.
Control of Flooding:
The hydraulic capacity of the low flow channel and Regional Storm flood plain will be
maintained by the reinstated streambank.
Pollution:
The placement of field boulders and river,run stone along the toe of the stream bank will
occur without machinery entering the watercourse channel. Once the toe protection is in-
place, the area behind will be backfilled. A sediment control fence will be installed and
maintained until all filled and disturbed areas have been revegetated.
September 5, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #7/97 8442
-
Conservation of Land:
The erosion control works are necessary due to signs of stress and minor failure of an
existing one metre high concrete retaining wall located approximately three metres from the
eroding oxbow of the channel. Authority staff has reviewed the design of the proposal and
is satisfied that the work will provide adequate protection to the property, as well as
enhance this section of the stream corridor by introducing natural channel material and
native vegetation within the disturbed riparian zone.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prooosal:
The applicant is proposing to redevelop a historic building in the Gooderman Wortz Site.
The lands are in the flood plain and Special Policy Area of the lower Don River. A master
plan for redevelojJlllt::llt-uf the-who1e -Guoderman-WOTtz~ite was approved in 1992. This
plan provided for flood protection of the historic buildings to a minimum of the 350 year
storm, in compliance with the approved Special Policy Designation for the lower Don River.
The existing structure is a single storey and 25 m X 45 m in area. An addition will be
constructed increasing the foot print an additional 25 m X 35 m and in total the building will
be 11 stories high. There will be two underground parking levels. The building renovation
will preserve the historic facade.
B447 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #7/97 September 5, 1997
- The first floor level will be commercial retail space exclusively. A daycare and other public
amenities will be available on the second floor. The remaining 9 floors will be residential.
Control of Flooding:
Because of constraints associated with site servicing; handicapped access; and preservation
of the historic aspects of the building, the architect was not able to dry flood proof the first
floor of the building. Staff therefore required that there be no residential component at the
first floor level. The depth of flooding under the 350 year storm conditions on the first floor
will be 0.6 m. The underground garage access points and vents will be flood protected so
there will be no openings to allow flood waters into the basement. The walls and first floor
slab will also be designed to withstand the hydrostatic uplift and load of flood waters under
a 350 year storm flood event. Safe access under the 350 year storm conditions will be
available out of the building for the daycare and residential levels. These measures meet
wet flood proofing criteria and are acceptable under the Special Policy Area policies.
Pollution:
The site is not near the river and does not present a high risk to pollution.
Conservation of Land:
There are no significant resource features on this site.
Policy Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 4.2.1 (B) - Guidelines for Development in Special Policy
Areas and Lower Don Special Policy Area policies.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prooosal:
The applicant proposes to erect a total of six elevated wetland sculptures within the Lower
Don River valley at the confluence of the East Don River and the Taylor Massey Creek.
Three of the six sculptures are within the Regional Storm flood plain and Fill Regulated Area.
The remaining three are within the Fill Regulated Area.
The elevated wetland sculptures utilize waste plastic as a soil substitute to purify water and
sustain vegetative growth. A solar pump will lift water from the Don River into the raised
plastic planters. The water will be filtered and returned to the Don.
The sculptures are designed to address two primary issues:
1. Inform the public of the usefulness, resourcefulness and aesthetic appeal of recycled
plastics.
2. Bring together the art and plastics world.
The project contributes to raising awareness on the need for improved water quality in the
Don River. Further it is a novel approach to advancing the vision of "Forty Steps to a New
Don". The project is supported by the Don Watershed Regeneration Council.
B449 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #7/97 September 5, 1997
Control of Flooding:
The three sculptures within the flood plain are beyond the hydraulic flood way for the Don
River. Further, the works are temporary and will be removed within 5 years in accordance
with a Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Culture Department Agreement. As a result, staff
note that there will be no impact on the control of flooding.
Pollution:
Sediment fencing will be erected during placement of the structures and will remain in place
until the works are complete. The works will have the benefit of improving water quality in
the Don River.

September 5, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #7/97 8450
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prooosal:
The proponent wishes to construct a new storm sewer system along Redway Road in order
to combine the existing overland flow routes for storm water into a single buried storm water
culvert under the access road to the North Toronto Treatment Plant. The flow from the
loblaws site at the top of the slope will also be collected within this new storm sewer
system. The new culvert will be connected to an existing culvert and outlet to the Don
River.
The current flow from the loblaws site is collected in a ditch on the north side of the
existing access road. This ditch is to be maintained as an interceptor ditch for any excess
overland flow which cannot be collected into the new storm sewer system.
The works will terminate north of the CPR tracks and will not impact directly on the
watercourse. The works are occurring under the existing access road, which will be
excavated then repaved following completion.
The road is located along a steep valley sideslope leading to the Don River. Past proposals
in this same area have confirmed that sections of the slope through this reach are unstable.
A geotechnical report was reviewed by our technical staff and confirmed that this section of
the slope is stable and the works will not cause slope failure.
Control of Flooding:
No change in grade will occur within the Regional Storm Flood Plain; therefore, the control
of flooding will not be affected,
Pollution:
A silt fence will be located at the base of the slope between the proposed works and the
watercourse. The silt fence will extend into an existing drainage ditch at the point where
the culvert will hook into the existing sewer system, All new catchbasins will have
sediment control, installed around their perimeter until all works are completed.
Conservation of Land:
The overland flow will be concentrated into the new storm sewer system; therefore, less
erosion will occur directly on the slope face. This will allow for increased slope stability and
for the establishment of vegetation on the slope. No works are occurring outside of the
existing road width; therefore, the natural slope will not be impeded.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposed plan of subdivision is partially located within the limits of the Special Policy
Area in Unionvi1le. 1fp 'to' three'Tlretres mii1t is being placed in order to meet the required
sanitary servicing for the site. This fill elevates all but 16 lots above the Regional Storm
flood elevation.
In conformance with the approved Environmental Master Servicing Plan (EMSP) a 5.3 ha
area which includes these lands, drains uncontrolled to the Rouge River. A stormseptor is
to be installed to provide water quality treatment. The outfall head wall is to be located
part way down the valley slope and an outlet channel constructed to the river.
September 5, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #7/97 B452
-. '
Control of Flooding:
A hydraulic analysis undertaken through the EMSP process, demonstrated that the filling
would .not exacerbate any flooding conditions within the reach. The homes on the sites that
will be remaining in the flood plain, will be flood protected to a minimum of the 350 year
storm flood elevation in accordance with the SPA policy requirements.
The outfall is in the flood plain; but it is not proposed to extend beyond the limit of the
valley slope. The control of flooding will not be affected by this work.
Pollution:
Sediment fencing will be placed around the site and at the outfall to prevent sediment from
entering the watercourse. A rock check dam will be placed at the outfall to contain
sediments during construction and filling.
Conservation of Land:
The fill will be placed and compacted. The new slope and the outfall will be stabilized with
seed and native woody vegetation. This slope is outside the 100 year erosion limit and
meanderbelt of the Rouge River.
Staff is concerned with the location and design of the proposed outfall as it is on a steep
slope which is subject to toe erosion by the river. We are working with the consultant to
find a new location for the outfall or provide a design that will not be impacted by nor
exacerbate the erosion potential of the slope.
Policv Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing and Section 4.2.1 (B) -
Development Guidelines for Special Policy Areas and the approved Markham Special Policy

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prooosal:
The applicant is proposing to construct an interim storm water management facility to
provide water quantity control, water quality treatment and downstream erosion protection
to service Phase 1 of a residential plan of subdivision. The ultimate facility will be
constructed when the remaining phases of the development proceed. The pond
construction also involves ditching and diversion of two small intermittent tributaries of the
Little Rouge River that currently outlet at two different culverts under Highway # 7. In
compliance with the approved Southwest Area Storm water Management and Pre-design
Report the drainage of the two tributaries will ultimately be incorporated into the
stormwater management system. In the interim, the flows through the two culverts at
Highway #7 will meet pre-development flows until the ultimate storm water scheme is
implemented.
Control of Flooding:
The works are not in the flood plain. Flows in the two tributaries downstream of Highway
#7 will be maintained at pre-development levels.
Pollution:
Sediment fencing will be installed between the disturbed areas and the watercourses. In
addition, rock check dams will be placed in the small tributaries to prevent sediment from
migrating downstream. The interim storm water pond will be used as a sediment basin
during the construction and development of the Phase 1 area.
September 5, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #7/97 B454
All disturbed areas are to be hydro seeded or covered with the excavated "seedbank"
material as soon as possible after regrading to stabilize the soils.
Conservation of Land:
There are no significant terrestrial resources at the site of the pond. Adjacent trees are to
be protected and the pond planted with native woody species. There is no in-situ fisheries
habitat in the intermittent tributaries,

Pollution:
A silt fence is being erected at the top-of-bank in order to prevent sediment from travelling
down the valley slope and into the watercourse. This fence will remain in place until the
works are complete and the site has been stabilized.
Conservation of Land:
Presently, the slope at the rear of the property experiences some gully erosion due to low
points on the tableland. The regrading will fill in any existing low points on the tableland
and allow for better drainage over the top of bank and down the slope. A minimal amount
of composted leaves and brush will be removed from the slope at the rear of the subject
property, to allow vegetation to take hold.
The disturbed areas of the site will be stabilized using seed or sod. Most trees are being
preserved during the construction of the new dwelling.
A geotechnical report was reviewed by Authority staff and the slope was found to be
stable.

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prooosal:
As part of the Waterfront Trail system and the Highland Creek Trail, Metro Parks and
Culture is proposing to construct an elevated walkway under the CNR bridge at the mouth
of the Highland Creek. The site will be accessed from East Point Park. A temporary gravel
access road, the routing of which was reviewed by Authority staff in the field, will be
constructed from the park down the slope to the beach and along the toe of the slope. The
route climbs the slope just west of the Highland Creek and CNR bridge. Ultimately when
funding becomes available, this road will form part of the Waterfront Trail system from East
Point Park to the mouth of the Highland Creek.
Asphalt trail construction will begin at this point. The portion of the trail under the bridge is
to be raised on pilings above the Regional Storm flood elevation. The trail under the bridge
will be covered to protect users from debris from the tracks. The asphalt trail is to end just
north of the bridge. In addition to the access from the beach, construction access will be
available along an existing road on the north side of the tracks at the watercourse.
To provide a construction platform under the bridge, a temporary riprap pond will be
installed in the watercourse. This pond will be removed as soon as the trail work under the
bridge is complete.
As a future project, the Highland Creek Trail will be completed from this point to the
existing valley trail to the north, completing the connection to the waterfront, Staff has
walked the alignment and the final detailed design is in progress. This section of the trail
will be aligned along the top of the valley slope adjacent to the Metro Works Yard, and
slope down to the valley floor at the north end of the yard. There is a small tributary of the
Highland Creek at this point that will be bridged. The trail will extend north on the valley
floor to meet with the existing Highland Creek Trail.
In addition to the trail construction under the bridge, the existing protection of the bridge
abutment on the west side of the watercourse will be restored with armourstone rock and
riprap.
Much of the construction will be undertaken on lands owned by the Canadian National
Railway (CNR). Metro staff has been working closely with CNR staff and are currently
finalizing the detailed design of the trail and owner authorization.
Authority staff is currently working with Metro and other agencies and partners to
determine-a routinvcmdl:iesign iorthe-w-aterfrom Tral1to the east. The design of this trail
has considered possible link options.
8457 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #7/97 September 5, 1997
Control of Flooding:
A shoreline processes and wave up rush analysis was undertaken for the section of the
routing along the beach. The temporary access road will be constructed on grade.
However, the elevation of the ultimate trail along the beach will be approximately .5 m
above the 100 year high lake level. It is anticipated that under high lake levels the trail may
be flooded by wave up rush conditions. However, the trail design will incorporate
armourstone and rock protection to protect it from erosion under these conditions.
The portion of the trail under the CNR bridge is outside of the Regional Storm flood plain
except for the bottom one metre of the pilings. The pilings themselves will be above the
100 year flood elevation and designed to withstand impacts of debris and ice. There are
only two pilings in the flood plain under the bridge and it is not anticipated that these will
increase Regional Flood levels up stream.
There will be no change in grade for the portion of the trail that is to be constructed north
of the CNR tracks and it will not affect the control of flooding.
Pollution:
Sediment fencing will be used between the work site and the watercourse to prevent
sediment from entering the watercourse. The in-stream portion of the erosion protection will
be done as quickly as possible to minimise impacts to the watercourse.
Conservation of land:
The routing of the access road (and ultimately the trail) along the beach was chosen in part
to avoid the dynamic beach processes and habitat at the mouth of the Highland Creek. One
regionally rare and one provincially rare plant species was identified on the dynamic beach
at the mouth of the Highland Creek. One or two staginglturn around areas will be
identified on the beach by our staff so that sensitive areas are avoided.
The trail routing north of the CNR tracks to the existing Highland Creek Trail was selected to
avoid significant vegetation and areas in the flood plain where there is evidence of erosion
and frequent flooding.
The proposed in-stream works will not impact fish habitat. The construction will be
undertaken within the appropriate fisheries window as identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources' guidelines.
All disturbed areas on the slopes or in the valley corridor will be seeded, sodded or covered
with a mulch mat following construction.
Policv Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 4.1.2 - New Resource-based Uses and recommendations
from the Integrated Shoreline Management Program.

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
Trans,Northern Pipeline is proposing to replace a gas pipeline which is exposed in the bed of
the Rouge River. The new line will be placed parallel to the existing line a few metres to the
south. The existing line will be abandoned.
On the west bank there is a 3 to 4 m high eroding bank. The new line will be placed a
minimum of 2 metres below the stream bed and will begin to angle up to connect to the
existing pipe approximately 5 metres back from the edge of the eroding bank. This
approach will protect the pipe from the effects of long term erosion.
Because of the soils and topography the construction technique will be trenching. In order
to work in the dry in the watercourse three pipes and a dam will be installed to convey the
stream flow through the construction site. Any water in the trench will be pumped out to a
stilling basin prior to re-entering the watercourse.
Trans-Northern Pipeline is completing negotiations with Ontario Hydro for the proposed
works on their lands.
Control of Flooding:
There will be no changes in grade so the control of flooding will not be affected.
Pollution:
All work will be done in the dry. Machinery will not enter the watercourse during the
trenching procedure.
Conservation of Land:
Access is easily available from the west and will not result in any disturbance of significant
natural features.
B459 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #7/97 September 5, 1997
The stream bed will be restored to its existing condition. The toe of the stream bank in the
disturbed area will be protected with rive-run stone and the bank restored with sod mats
previously removed from the site and live stakes. All disturbed areas will be seeded.
The pipeline company is hoping to under take the replacement of the pipe this fall. The
project may extend beyond the normal fisheries window. An application and request has
been made to the Ministry of Natural Resources to undertake this work. Our staff is
completing the review of the proposed fisheries mitigation and will consult with the Ministry
of Natural Resources in this regard.

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proponent wishes to construct a storm sewer outfall and energy dissipator to service a
proposed subdivision. The flow will disperse onto the valley floor and travel overland
towards Carruthers Creek. The land adjacent to this property is part of ESA 113 (Carruther's
Creek Forest) and is owned by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
(MTRCA). An easement was established, for the outfall structure to discharge across
Authority land, prior to the acquisition of the property in 1995.
An asphalt walkway is also being constructed to connect the proposed subdivision to an
existing trail system. The walkway will begin above the outfall structure and hook up to the
existing trail to the south. The trail has been aligned to avoid any large trees in the area and
to follow a route that is relatively flat. The trail comes to within 5 metres of the
watercourse at the base of a slope. Otherwise it is outside the riparian area.
Control of Flooding:
The outfall structure will be located outside the Regional Storm flood plain. The asphalt path
is within the Regional Storm flood plain. As there are no changes in grade, the control of
flooding will not be affected.
Pollution:
A siltation control fence is being erected between all works and the existing watercourse.
Conservation of Land:
All disturbed areas will be stabilized using seed or sod following the completion of the
works. The slope and outfall structure will be enhanced with the planting of native woody
species. The pathway will be enhanced and vegetated with native woody species in order
to create a more natural area. The path has been aligned to avoid any heavily vegetated
areas.

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
The proponent has completed a project for a sanitary sewer crossing under the existing
open foot culvert on Bayly Street. The works involved trenching the sanitary sewer along
the north side of Bayly Street (within the road allowance) and auguring the sewer under the
existing watercourse. The trench has been backfilled and no stockpiling or collecting of
material has occurred. A section of the watercourse on the north side of Bayly Street has
been enhanced with river run stone. The enhancement of this section is to prevent
exposure of the sanitary sewer. Staff has visited the site and determined that the river run
stone will maintain both fish passage and habitat.
Control of Flooding:
There has been no change in grade associated with these works. The control of flooding
will not be affected.
Pollution:
A silt fence was placed between the open trench and the existing watercourse and between
the auguring pits and the watercourse during the construction.
Conservation of Land:
No significant terrestrial features have been affected by these works. Staff has requested
that all disturbed areas be stabilized with seed and enhanced using native woody species as
soon as possible. The planting will occur within the riparian area allowing the cool
temperature ot-the-watercourse"1O 'be IIldillldined-and to prevent the further invasion of
Purple Loosestrife. All works occurred within the appropriate fisheries window (June 1 -

Award of contract for Site Paving at the Don Valley Brick Works,
Borough of East York.
Moved by: Jim McMaster
Seconded by: Lois Hancey
THAT Tender ES97-41 for Site Paving at the Don Valley Brick Works be awarded to Mopal
Construction Limited at a total cost of $61,115.00. (Excluding G.S.T.) . . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Don Valley Brick Works was purchased in 1987. The Municipality of Metropolitan
Toronto accepted the site for management under agreement with the Authority in 1989.
The site consists of 16.5 hectares in the valley of the Don River, located west of Bayview
Avenue in the Borough of East York. The site contains an assemblage of buildings formerly
used by the brick making industry between 1890 and 1990.
During 1994-95, a number of studies were undertaken to provide the necessary information
to refine the scope of regeneration work for the consultant team preparing the detailed site
plan. These studies included detailed environmental site assessments; heritage
documentation and analysis; artifact recording; and brick making processes. The consultant
team lead by Oleson Worland Architects compiled the Master Plan in January of 1996, and
have subsequently finalized detailed construction plans and tender specifications for the
various aspects of the restoration work required at the site. This contract is for the
installation of granular base, resurfacing and asphalt paving for the entrance road and
resurfacing of the proposed 75 car parking lot.

RES. #8128/97 - ACQUISITION OF DIGITAL PRINTER
The purchase of a digital printer.
Moved by: Lois Griffin
Seconded by: Richard Whitehead
THAT the Authority purchase a digital printer 3750 from Riso Inc. for use in its printing
operation for the sum of $29.152.50 taxes and freight included. of which $500 will be
rebated. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. CARRIED
September 5, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #7/97 B464
BACKGROUND
The Authority owned a Gestetner 212 printing press that was becoming increasingly
expensive to service and difficult to find parts. It is one of two printing presses owned by
the Authority and was used to print envelopes and small run jobs. The original intent was
to replace it with a newer used press. Staff spent considerable time searching for
equipment that was in good working condition, was easy to operate and would handle the
work intended. Most equipment seen was in poor operating shape and not suitable.
Alternative equipment was considered such as buying a small new press but the financial
outlay could not be justified. Riso Inc. was contacted about their digital printer and pricing
received. Riso has allowed us to test their printer at no cost or commitment to the
Authority. Riso has been in business for over 40 years and only manufactures and sells
digital printers.
RA TIONALE
While the Riso printer is not a press, it handles all that a small press would in much less
time. Many of the flyers and brochures printed are multi coloured. From a marketing
standpoint, statistics show that promotional brochures are more often picked up and read if
printed in more than one colour. We have an opportunity to meet the Print Room's need as
well as providing multi coloured printing to the rest of the organization at a fraction of the
cost.
The following chart outlines a couple of simple jobs and the cost for printing or photocopying.
I PRINT JOB I RYOBI PRESS I XEROX 5100 I RISO 3750 I
500 flyers - two colour $26. Black only - $5. $3.44
Time taken for task 4 - 5 hours 6 minutes 5 minutes
3000 flyers. one colour $15, $30. $9.
Time taken for task 3 hours 32 minutes 30 minutes
There is a substantial time and labour savings in printing on the Riso printer. The Print
Room has become a "quick print shop" with our customers demanding a quicker turn around
time. The Riso printer helps meet that demand. As well as the cost and labour savings the
Riso printer takes part of the load from the Xerox 5100 copier, thus enabling this copier to
last beyond the projected 7-year life.
The Riso printer will not replace all our print jobs. The quality it produces is not press
quality but is quite good. Artwork containing photographs will still be done on the Ryobi
press as well as jobs which require exact colour matching or tight registration. Long run
jobs will still continue to be done on the press.
As with all new equipment, it is hard to foresee all that it can be used for. Some uses
might include multi coloured posters up to 11 X 17" in size, envelopes, flyers, brochures,
report covers, bags, folders, NCR forms, time sheets and expense sheets, etc.
B465 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #7/97 September 5, 1997
The equipment itself is much like a press. A master is made for each colour, loaded on a
drum and then copies are run from it. It has the speed of a copier from a setup standpoint
but because of the cost of each master (47 cents) is designed for longer runs. Once a
master is made up to 7,000 copies can be run. The Riso printer is unique in many ways:
It can be operated by anyone and does not require specialized training as a press
does - copier simplicity.
There are presently 16 different coloured inks with the flexibility of ordering custom
inks at an additional 50% cost. More colours are being developed and will be
available in the future.
The printer is environmentally friendly - no ozone emissions like copiers or printers,
no fumes like a press and uses 98 % less energy than a photocopier.
It handles any stock from light NCR paper to a heavy Bristol type card to envelopes
with sizes from 4 X 6" to 11 X 17".
It has connectivity and can be run from any PC, from the computer network and is
operable through WordPerfect, Page Maker and Corel Draw at a Postscript level.
Maintenance costs are relatively cheap at 114 to 113 cent in comparison to one cent
for our copier. No heat, toner, developer or oil are use and there are fewer moving
parts to replace.
It provides colour at a fraction of the time and cost.
There are two other companies which sell similar equipment. Savin/Gestetner Canada
manufactures a digital printer but it does not have connectivity, quality is poor and our past
service experience with them is poor. The Duplo equipment was rejected because the
company is relatively new and the print quality does not appear as good as the Riso
equipment.
During the past three weeks staff has tested the equipment. The jobs which were run can
be broken down into 2 areas: jobs which normally run on the press and jobs that usually run
on the copier. Staff printed 27 jobs on the printer over the past 3 weeks. Eleven of them
would have been printed on the press. four would have been done on the copier while the
remaining twelve jobs could have been done on the press or the copier. Because of time
constraints those 12 jobs would probably have been done on the copier.
Offset Press Cost I DiQital Printina Cost I Cost Savinas
I $445 I $130.80 I 314.20 I
Xerox Copier Cost I Digital Printing Cost I Cost Savings
I $194.08 I $60.62 I 133.46 I
September 5, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #7/97 B466
The table above shows savings if printed on the digital printer rather than the offset press or
the copier. Overall cost savings over the past 3 weeks using the digital printer is .$447.66.
Not factored into the equation is the fact that most of the items that would normally be
copied and which were printed on the digital printer were printed in two colours. More
savings would have been achieved if only printed in one colour.
It is estimated that the printing budget can be reduced by $5000 yearly as a result of lower
production costs. At present, only materials are charged back to the user. A premium
charge would be applied over and above material cost to offset the cost of the new
equipment but which would still reflect a savings to staff. These funds would go back into
the office equipment reserve fund.
If we look at the last three weeks and prorate it over the year, the savings in using digital
equipment is $7759. Factor in $3-5000 for extra outside printing cost and the investment
is paid off in two or three years.
The investment, however, cannot just be measured in dollars and cents. From a marketing
standpoint the flyers and brochures produced will stand out because of the colours. which
will be important if we are to survive into the next millennium.
Staff also considered leasing with a monthly rate of $605.95 including taxes. Leasing frees
up money and allows us to budget better but the costs are more substantial. The leasing
agreement has a 10% implicit interest rate over a 66 month term and a 5 - 8 % buyout.
leasing does however give us the flexibility to upgrade within 3 years at no additional cost.
Staff will continue to pursue this option with the company.
In review, the Authority will see a productivity and quality improvement to its printing
operation. The digital printer will not replace the copier or the press but will coexist with
them. The Authority is investing in new technology as opposed to old. The equipment will
pay for itself in two or three years.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The office equipment reserve fund will be drawn down to pay for this. The old Gestetner
press which sold for $800 and a rebate cheque of $500 will help to defray the cost. Total
cost with rebate and press sale is $27,525.50. taxes included

The Authority received a request in February 1997, from Teresa Di Nardo of 12 Ravinder
Court, regarding the possibility for her and several of her neighbours to purchase fragments
of Authority,owned tableland at the rear of their properties on Ravinder Court, City of
Brampton, Etobicoke Creek Watershed.
At Meeting #7/97, dated August 22, 1997, the Authority under Resolution #A 165/97,
adopted the following:
THA T the Authority-owned holdings adjacent to residential properties in the vicinity
of No. 12 Ravinder Court in the City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel be
retained for conservation purposes.
The Authority is now in receipt of a request from Teresa and Domenic Di Nardo, to
purchase a much smaller fragment of tableland, to straighten out their rear property line as
shown on the attached plan.
Staff is recommending the sale of the much smaller parcel of land to straighten the
property boundary since it does not encroach into the buffer or effect the function of the
corridor.
Authority owned land at this location is under management agreement with the City of
Brampton and the proposed sale will be conditional on the City having no objection to the
proposal.

BACKGROUND
In 1957, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto constructed the West Don Sanitary Trunk
sewer system, in the vicinity of Bathurst Street and Sheppard Avenue West. At the time the
sewer was constructed the lands were owned by the York Downs Golf and Country Club
Limited who granted The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto an easement. The lands owned
by the York Downs Golf and Country Club Limited were registered in both the Land Registry
and Land Titles Systems, however this easement was only deposited under the land Registry
System. The effect was that The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto did not obtain any
easement rights over the lands which were owned by the York Downs Golf and Country Club
Limited and registered under Land Titles System.
October 17, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 8491
The subject lands were acquired by the Authority from Pinetree Development Co. ltd. on June
30, 1972 under the Project for the Acquisition of the York Downs Golf and Country Club. The
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto is now requesting a grant of easement at a nominal cost
for the protection of their trunk sewer.
Metro has conveyed lands to the Authority over the years for the nominal consideration of
$2.00 and has requested that this easement be granted for the nominal consideration of $2.00.
Metro has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing the
transaction.
A plan illustrating this location is attached.
ANAL YSIS
This grant of easement is to provide the necessary documentation for an existing sewer. No
new construction will be undertaken at this location.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The subject Authority-owned lands are under a Management Agreement with the
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. Metro will continue to be responsible for all maintenance
and realty tax costs associated with this property.

October 17, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 8499
BACKGROUND
Members may recall that staff had a number of meetings with area residents and officials of the
Town of Pickering regarding amending the Authority's acquisition project boundary in the Rodd
Avenue/Bella Vista Drive area. A plan was brought forward reflecting the community's input
on the revised acquisition boundaries and process for disposal of the resulting surplus Authority
lands. At Meeting #4/96 held on May 31, 1996, the Authority adopted Resolution #A99/96,
declaring that various parcels of Authority-owned tablelands, including 5 lots improved with
single family homes, and three vacant parcels, be surplus to the future requirements of the
Authority and recommending that preference be given whenever possible, to sales or exchanges
being made at market value to former owners, tenants, remaining private owners and abutting
owners within the amended acquisition boundary.
In accordance with the provisions of Resolution #A99/96, and as outlined in the staff report
regarding the disposal process adopted by the Executive Committee at Meeting # 12/96,
January 10, 1997, under Resolution #B205/96, staff in consultation with the Authority solicitor
and an independent appraiser has initiated the disposal process as follows:
The priority of potential purchasers be:
1 ) Former owners (Phase I)
2) Tenants (Phase I)
3) Remaining Private Owners situate within the amended boundary which
will include abutting property owners (Phase II)
4) General public (Phase III)
The former owners were either contacted directly if an address could be found or best efforts
were made to contact them through the solicitor who acted on their behalf at the time of the
purchase by the Authority. None of the former owners that we were able to contact has
expressed interest in their former property. The five tenants have been contacted and two of
them have expressed an interest in acquiring the property. The Authority approved the sale
of 531 Rodd Avenue at Meeting #4/97, dated May 30, 1997 and the sale of 554 Rodd Avenue
at Meeting # 5/97, dated June 27, 1997.
Phase II of our disposal process required the Authority to offer the remaining surplus properties
for purchase at current market value to the private property owners, situate within the amended
acquisition boundary. The Authority advised the private owners within the amended boundary
about the availability of our surplus lands, excluding the two properties of interest to our
tenants, by letter on March 13, 1997. The Authority received notice of interest from two
private owners. Independent appraisals have been completed for the remaining surplus parcels
and an agreement has been reached with the Giorgio and Maria Siragusa the owners of 537
Rodd Avenue which abuts the subject Authority property. The subject parcel consists of vacant
land and the offer at hand is in accordance with the appraised value of an independent
evaluation obtained by the Authority.
A map showing the location of the subject lands is appended.
8500 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 October 17, 1997
RA TIONALE
The subject land has been declared surplus by the Authority.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
It is proposed that the proceeds from this sale be used in the funding of the purchase of priority
properties within the Authority's Acquisition Project.

since 1981;

BACKGROUND
In 1978, the Authority entered into a management agreement with the Town of Caledon for
the subject lands,
In 1981, the Authority permitted the lands to be licenced to the Bolton Horse Shows Inc., for
horse shows and related activities, subject to the provisions of the original management
agreement with the Town of Caledon,
In 1989, the Town was advised that due to the decrease in the number of volunteers in recent
years, the Bolton Horse Shows Inc., were no longer able to operate the shows and assigned the
operation to the Equestrian Management Group Inc. The assignment was in breach of the
licence agreement and the Town of Caledon terminated the agreement.
In late 1989, the Town of Caledon received a request from the Equestrian Management Group
Inc. to enter into a licence agreement for use of the property.
October 17, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 8509
For the past several years the Authority has been involved in negotiations with the Town of
Caledon and The Equestrian Management Group Inc, with regards to the use of the subject
parcel of land for equestrian activities and both the Town of Caledon and the Equestrian
Management Group Inc. have addressed and complied with all of the Authority's concerns,
The Town of Caledon has been very supportive of Authority activities in taking a number of
parcels of Authority land under management agreement at various locations for open space
purposes and relieving us of tax and maintenance costs, Under the arrangement as proposed
all provisions of the original management agreement between the Town and the Authority
remain in force.
In July 1994, the Authority received a request from the Town of Caledon to explore the
potential acquisition by the Town of this 35 acre parcel of Authority owned tableland, This
request was considered by the Executive at Meeting #7/94, September 9, 1994 and direction
was given for staff to review this request.
The Town of Caledon has recently indicated that it is interested in continuing to explore on a
long term basis the potential purchase of this property and in the interim wants to finalize the
licence agreement,
A copy of the License Agreement is appended for the information of the Members,

BACKGROUND
Resolution #A 131/95, from Authority Meeting #4/95, held on May 26, 1995, approved the
Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project, 1996-2000 and Resolution #A45/97, from
Authority Meeting #2/97, held on April 4, 1997 approved the Municipality of Metropolitan
Toronto Valley and Shoreline Regeneration Project, 1997-2001.
Negotiations have been conducted with Mr. and Mrs, Curry and their solicitor Irwin A. Hamilton
of Hamilton & Mutton, Barrister and Solicitors.
Mr, and Mrs, Curry purchased the subject property under two separate transactions. The first
parcel being Lot 152, Plan 2042, was purchased on September 28, 1949. This lot contains the
house and garage which were constructed by Mr. and Mrs. Curry. The second parcel being Lot
151, Plan 2042, was purchased on August 16, 1954. This lot is still vacant. In 1988 Mr, and
Mrs, Curry conveyed the rear portion of the property to the Authority to allow for the
construction of shoreline protection works,
8520 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 October 17, 1997
The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed the proposal and agrees that
the purchase of the property is necessary.
Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands.
RATIONALE
Generally, the Authority's approach is to carry out erosion control works along the Scarborough
Bluffs sector of the Lake Ontario Shoreline by providing for protection at the bottom of the
bluffs and allowing the over steepened bluff face to recede and self stabilize, This approach
has long been recognized as the most practical and cost effective solution for providing erosion
control protection in this area. However, it also recognizes that in certain cases, useable
tableland (rear yards) and occasionally houses may become endangered as the over steepened
slope recedes back to its long term stable slope and that acquisition of certain properties may
have to be considered.
The shoreline management work was carried out at the Guildwood sector of the Scarborough
Bluffs in the late 1980's and early 1990's. The design approach taken along Guildwood
Parkway is typical of the Authority's approach for addressing the erosion along the entire
Scarborough Bluffs, The toe of the bluffs is protected from the wave action of Lake Ontario
through the construction of various revetments or beaches, while allowing the over steepened
bluff face to self stabilize or flatten.
The bluff slope at the rear of the property is near vertical for the top 50 ft. (1 5 metres) and is
actively eroding, Measurements taken in April of 1997 indicated that the closest distance to
the house from the bluff was 27 ft, (8,2 metres) at the south east corner. Over the past four
years, the Authority has closely monitored this property, Erosion has continued at an annual
rate of 3 ft, (0,9 metres) per year on the easterly property line and 5 ft, (1,5 metres) per year
on the westerly property line,
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
This parcel of land will be turned over to The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto under the
terms of the existing management agreement,
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Funding for this acquisition will be charged to Account 004-12-502. The purchase will be

Prnpn~;:tl:
A portion of the valley slope, which is approximately 30 m high and 30 m wide, is eroding
because of ground water seepage, and because in the past it was over steepened from toe
erosion from the watercourse, The toe of the slope was protected in 1977 and the toe erosion
has stopped; however, the slope is continuing to recede and is now threatening Colonel
Danforth Trail and some underground services,
The works will involve regrading of the slope, installing a drainage network and placing
granular and geogrid reinforcement,
Access to the site will be from the park on the west side of the watercourse and will require
a temporary watercourse crossing, They are proposing to install two culverts in the
watercourse and cover this with 10" to 24" rounded stone.
MTRCA staff have been involved in the design of the slope stabilization work and will be cost
sharing the project with the City of Scarborough.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Propm:al:
In early April, 1997 a breach occurred in the lower settling pond berm located at the
Metro Toronto Zoo. Authority staff visited the site and determined that the breach should be
repaired as soon as possible. The emergency works occurred from April 19, 1997 to
May 2, 1997. The pond is located at the base of a valley slope to the south of the existing
visitors' parking lot. The main purpose of this pond is to collect storm runoff from the visitors'
parking lot located on the tableland. It was assumed the breach occurred due to pressure
caused by 25 years of sediment build up within the pond. To date, only the berm repair has
occurred, but discussions pertaining to the dredging of the sediment in the pond, are ongoing,
Access to the site was along an existing gravel access road located off of Kirkhams Road.
The breach caused a large amount of sediment to enter the adjacent intermittent watercourse.
The presence of cattails within this tributary allowed the sediment to be filtered out of the
water before entering the main Rouge River, This intermittent watercourse measures
approximately 26 metres from the settling pond to the main Rouge River,
Control of Flooding:
The works are occurring outside of the Regional Storm flood plain,
Pollution'
A sediment fence and straw bales were placed between the breach location and the existing
intermittent watercourse. Their purpose was to prevent any further sediment from entering the
adjacent watercourse.
October 17, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 B543
Cnm:p.rv::Itinn nf I ::Inri:
The escaped sediment from the pond was removed and transported to the Keele Valley Landfill.
The removal of escaped sediment, outside of the berm, caused some existing cattails within
the intermittent watercourse to also be removed. The cattails have not been replaced because
ongoing discussions are occurring regarding dredging of the pond. Until such time as the
dredging occurs, the removed vegetation will not be replaced, The removed cattails should
naturally re-establish themselves within this disturbed area due to the presence of cattails
downstream.
The berm was stabilized with an erosion blanket and topsoil with grass seed,

Proposal:
The City of Brampton proposes to replace the existing bridge structure at Etobicoke Creek with
a single span structure. The works will involve raising the vertical profile of the roadway and
widening the roadway to four lanes at the new bridge structure. The proposed works will also
include extending two stormwater sewer outfalls to the watercourse,
October 17, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 8553
The above project was subject to a Class Environmental Assessment process, to assess the
need and justification for the proposed works, Through this process, it was determined that
there was a safety concern associated with the sag in the roadway over the Etobicoke Creek,
The preferred alternative involved raising the road profile and replacing the bridge structure.
Cnntrol nf Flnnning'
A hydraulic analysis was undertaken to assess the impacts the replacement structure and
changes in the road profile would have on the control of flooding. Technical staff has reviewed
this submission and finds it to be satisfactory. The proposed works will not impact the control
of flooding.
Pnlllltinn'
Through the Environmental Assessment process, a number of alternative methods for
constructing the bridge structure were assessed. The preferred design does not require any in
stream water works and the piers will be located further from the watercourse. The design for
the bridge structure will also include placing rip rap underneath the bridge structure and placing
river run stone adjacent to the watercourse,
The outfall structures will discharge into grassed line swales and will also include rock check
dams. Silt fencing will be placed adjacent to the watercourse to ensure that no debris enters
the watercourse during construction,
Cnn~p-rvrltinn nf Lrlnn'
An environmental inventory was conducted as part of the Environmental Assessment process.
This inventory identified the impacts the works will have on the existing vegetation and
proposed mitigation measures. The City of Brampton's Parks Department has agreed to
undertake a restoration planting plan for the disturbed areas within the valley corridors.
The design of the bridge also provides for public access in support of the Authority's and the
City of Brampton's open space linkages objectives.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prnpo~::ll:
The proposal consists of reconstructing a deteriorated dam structure at the outlet of an existing
on-stream pond on the subject lands. The dam is also part of the driveway, which is the sole
access to the applicant's dwelling, The site is located within the presently unmapped Regional
Storm flood plain of a tributary fo the East Humber River, This area is not presently fill
regulated; however, fill lines are proposed to encompass the watercourse as part of the
Authority's on-going Fill Regulation Extension Program,
Control of Flooding'
The subject watercourse drains an upstream area of greater than 125 hectares; existing flood
plain mapping ends immediately downstream of the applicant's property. Staff has determined
that the dam reconstruction and associated erosion control works will maintain the existing
hydraulics of the Regional Storm flood plain,
Pollution'
An existing silting basin located immediately downstream of the dam will be used to trap
sediment during construction.
Can~p.rv::ltion of I ::lnd'
The cause of failure of the existing dam is directly related to the lack of proper erosion control
measures along the watercourse, downstream of the structure. In order to ensure stability of
the repaired dam in the long-term, a combination of 3 to 5 tonne armour stone, field boulders,
and river-run stone will be used to create pool/riffle and plunge pool systems to dissipate
velocity from the dam overflow. An added benefit of the erosion control measures is the
creation of a passageway for movement of fish where none existed previously. In addition, all
disturbed portions of riparian zone above the erosion protectoin will be planted with native
vegetation,

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prnpns;ll:
Pond GM3 is one of a series of ponds approved for the Elgin West Community Master Servicing
Plan. The original on-line dry pond design was proposed to control water quantity only,
Through discussions with the Town, the Ministry of Natural Resources, and the developer, the
design now includes a provision for water quality treatment. and the location has been modified
to protect some significant resource features,
B564 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 October 17, 1997
The GM3 pond area has also been expanded to the west and will incorporate the existing dry
pond in Toll Bar Park, The corporation of the existing dry pond provides the opportunity to
reduce nuisance flooding on a baseball diamond in the park and will provide water quality
treatment for the drainage area,
The existing stream low-flow channel through the pond will be realigned and altered, using
natural channel design principles, to achieve the invert required for servicing,
Control of Flooding.
The design of the GM3 pond results in a small increase in flooding (530 sq, m) on the Endean
property to the east. The developer has an agreement with the Endeans to fill in the flood
prone area on their property as part of the pond construction. This filling does not affect flood
storage as it is compensated for in the pond. There will be no impacts downstream.
Polllltion'
The new channel and pond is to be constructed with the existing watercourse acting as a by-
pass. This will minimize the transport of sediment downstream, The existing outfalls will be
temporarily diverted into a temporary sediment pond, All disturbed areas will be stabilized with
seed, sod or mulch mat as soon as the regrading is complete,
Coo~p-rv::ltion of I ::Ind'
There is existing fish habitat in the watercourse, The Ministry of Natural Resources has agreed
to the channel alteration. The pond will provide for fish passage and the channel will be
designed for fish habitat. In addition, a fisheries compensation package has been approved
which results in the removal of a fish barrier upstream and restoration of some of the upstream
fish habitat,
The pond and riparian area of the stream will be planted with native trees and shrubs,

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
A 195 m section of channelized watercourse which is a tributary to the Highland Creek is
proposed to be piped in support of the development of a commercial property. The channel is
currently approximately 15 metres wide and 4 m deep; is lined with riprap and gabion mat; and
bisects the development site, The upstream drainage area, which is entirely developed, is
approximately 300 ha, There is no watercourse in evidence upstream of this site, Water enters
the channel via a 3000 mm storm sewer pipe,
The new pipe is to be installed adjacent to the existing channel and will be linked to the existing
upstream pipe when the installation of the pipe extension is completed,
The stormwater pond is designed to treat the runoff from the proposed commercial
development for water quality, It is located partially within the flood plain and outfalls to the
Highland Creek.
Control of Flooding'
The design of the pond incorporates a balanced cut and fill in the flood plain. A hydraulic
analysis has demonstrated that there will be no impact on the flooding upstream or downstream
of the site.
Polhltion'
The tributary stream will be used as a by-pass for the pipe construction and will only be linked
together when the pipe installation is complete. This will minimize sediment in the watercourse
downstream, In addition, sediment fencing will be in place prior to construction and regrading
between the pond site, pipe and the Highland Creek.
8574 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 October 17, 1997
Consp-rvation of Land'
There is no in-situ fish habitat in the tributary watercourse although the tributary appears to be
permanently flowing and contributes cold water to the downstream habitat in the Highland
Creek.' In addition, because of the depth of the channel there was little opportunity to restore
it using a design that would allow for fish habitat, without eliminating a large part of the
development site. Because of this, Authority staff and Ministry of Natural Resources staff
agreed to consider the piping of the tributary watercourse.
Authority staff worked with the developer, City and Ministry of Natural Resources staff to
investigate the opportunities available to provide additional water quality treatment for the
upstream drainage area. However, because of the physical constraints of the site, and as part
of the Fisheries Compensation Package, it was agreed that the developer contribute to the
Highland Creek Rehabilitation Project which is currently being constructed on the Highland
Creek between Highway #401 and Progress Ave,

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prnpo~al :
Exhibition Creek has been channelized in the past along a 370 m reach between the CNR tracks
and a commercial/office development on Anderson Ave, As a result there are several small
sections of stream bank erosion. CNR has requested that these sites be stabilized.
The full channel cross-section is approximately 3 m deep and 12,5 m wide, The low flow
channel is well defined, less than one metre wide and 0.1 m deep and meanders through areas
of shrubs and cattails,
The applicant has suggested the following design, Armourstone is to be used to protect the
toe of the slope adjacent to the railway tracks for 130 metres and field stone is to be used to
protect the toe at another site which is 40 m long. The low flow channel will not be altered,
The slope above the armourstone and field stone is to be regraded and planted with shrubs,
In addition, there are three storm outfalls from the commercial parking lot opposite the railway
tracks. New stone outlet channels are proposed to be built to address issues of parking lot
flooding,
Authority staff are currently in discussion with the Town and their consultant to determine if
a bio-engineering approach could be taken on this site using less hard materials and to
determine an alternate solution to deal with nuisance flooding in the parking areas,

RA TIONALE
Proposals were invited from three consulting firms to complete the study and final designs.
The proposals received are as follows:
Total Cost
(excludes. G,S.T,)
Shaheen & Peaker Limited $15.425
Geo-Canada Ltd, $25,600
Terraprobe Ltd. $47,700
The proposals were evaluated based on the following criteria:
8580 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 October 17, 1997
. the written proposal;
. experience and expertise of key members assigned to the study;
. understanding of scope of work as outlined in the Terms of Reference;
. time frames for completion of the design; and
. cost.
Based on the staff review using the evaluation criteria, it is recommended that the proposal
received from Shaheen & Peaker Limited be accepted,
BACKGROUND
The gradual self-stabilization process of the Scarborough Bluff slopes along the easterly section
of Bluffers Waterfront Park has resulted in an excessive build-up of talus (eroded material) along
the toe of bluff, Since the initial landfilling process in the mid - 1970s, earth filled berms have
been constructed to contain the "flows" of eroded material from the bluffs, The area between
the berm and toe of bluff has now been filled to capacity through ongoing bluff erosion and
talus accumulation which now overflows periodically onto the park roadway. This problem is
more pronounced during the Spring thaw and periods of wet weather conditions when surface
runoff, combined with groundwater discharge result in severe mud flows along this section of
the bluffs,
Over the past few years, work crews have cleaned the talus material out of the roadway
ditches at least three times a year. After the Spring thaw, it is usually necessary to clean up
sections of the roadway as well. This condition will continue on a more frequent basis under
the existing situation. Total annual costs for clean up over the past two years ranged from
$5,000 to $7.000.
An alternative is to investigate options and costs for stabilizing the toe of bluffs, and improving
sediment control from the groundwater and surface runoff,
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The study limits include a 600 metre length of Scarborough Bluffs at the easterly section of
Bluffers Waterfront Park, The bluffs are approximately 80 metres in height, raising to 100
metres at the easterly end of Bluffers Park, The Consultant will carry out a detailed site
investigation to document erosion and groundwater discharge patterns, erosion rates, and
stable bluff profiles, Remedial options will be developed to stabilize the talus material and lower
bluff slopes, including measures to control groundwater discharge, A Phase 1 investigation will
assess the cost-benefits for all feasible alternatives including the do-nothing option,
Subject to the recommendations from the Phase 1 study, Phase 2 will examine in detail the
most cost efficient options for remedial works. Boreholes will be drilled, soil sample analysed
and slope stability calculations undertaken to assess the various options. Final designs
drawings will be produced for preferred remedial measures.
This study will be undertaken in accordance to the Terms of reference as provided by Authority
staff . Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 components will be awarded; however, the Authority has the
option to delete all or part of the Phase 2 component based on the findings and
recommendations from the Phase 1 study.

BACKGROUND
Federal (GST) and provincial sales tax (PST) legislation can be very difficult to interpret and
apply for conservation authorities in general, but particularly so for those authorities which are
also registered charities under the Income Tax Act, such as the MTRCA, The Authority has on
several occasions hired sales tax recovery specialists to review supplier files for PST paid in
error to the supplier or which is subject to rebate under special provisions of the legislation,
The last consultants hired, Canadian Tax Consultants Inc., submitted PST claims for 1992 and
1993 in the amount of $22,017, of which $18,441. plus interest was approved by the Ministry
of Finance. Compensation to the consultant was $8,704.
The Authority has not, as yet, hired a consultant to review files for GST overpayments or
refund entitlements. The standard rate quoted by most firms, which have approached the
8582 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 October 17, 1997
Authority, is 50% of amounts recovered plus interest thereon,
Staff has considered hiring a professional accounting firm to undertake the proposed review.
which 'would do so for a set fee for the entire assignment or for a per hourly fee, The firm
would be paid regardless of the results. In 1995, the accounting firm of Ernst & Young
conducted a thorough review of our operations for potential GST recovery areas to ascertain
whether a fixed-fee approach might be in the Authority's interest. In consultation with Ernst
& Young, staff concluded that this would not be cost effective,
RA TIONALE
Over the years, the Authority has been approached by numerous companies who claim to have
special expertise in these matters. While it has been easy to find firms which are willing to
discount their fees. in almost every instance. it was clear that these firms did not have the
particular knowledge suited to our circumstances,
Taxsave Consultants, the company which is recommended, has a senior individual within their
organization, who has expertise in the particular issues which are of most concern to the
Authority, This firm is recommended because of their competitive fee structure and their
expertise, Staff are recommending the contract for tax recovery services be awarded to
Taxsave Consulting Limited, under the following conditions:
. Mr. Michael Heintzman, Senior Tax Consultant, be assigned to supervise the
review;
. The fee structure is set at 33% on the first $100,000 and 25% on the excess;
. Outstanding claims (claims already under review) are outside the scope of
Taxsave's review;
. Amounts recovered in relation to claims which turn on the local board issue will
be held in trust until it is ascertained that the refund is valid; and
. There will be no compensation on account of future savings,
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Recoveries will be returned to the program area which generated the expenditure. It is difficult
to estimate with any degree of certainty the value of potential recoveries.

AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to present to the Executive on October 17, 1997, the

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Authority's head office was constructed in 1971, and an addition completed in 1975, The
building was planned to accommodate about 70 to 80 staff, public and private meeting areas,
file storage and the Authority's specialized head office functions such as printing and
photography, The head office as originally constructed did not include provision for computer
networks and telecommunications.
Head office staff now totals about 125, Although there have been reductions in staffing, the
Authority is making greater use of seasonal and contract positions which require office
accommodation, In 1987, two 20 year old, school portables were acquired and renovated as
office and storage space. In 1993. an office trailer was rented to accommodate contract and
seasonal work staff,
In 1995, a special sub-committee consisting of Mayor Margaret Black, Councillor Frank
McKechnie and Councillor Dick O'Brien was created to work with staff in evaluating the head
office needs and possible solutions, The Sub committee met on a number of occasions and
received information from staff and an engineering consultant hired to assess the mechanical
fitness and energy conservation aspects of the head office.
An office planning consultant was hired to review the office layout and assess options for
improved use of office space, Both consultants reported in 1995 with some additional work
in 1996.
In 1995, as in previous years, staff undertook only modest major maintenance because of
funding constraints and uncertainty about future Authority staffing and operations, In
1996. this uncertainty continued and the Authority initiated its Business Plan process,
Major roof repairs of an emergency nature were undertaken in 1996. Office planning was
put on hold until the reorganization of functions was completed in early 1997,
8584 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 October 17, 1 997
The existing office portable has deteriorated to the point where it cannot be used through
another winter without major renovations,
RA TIONALE
The replacement of the portables is part of an assessment of major repairs and maintenance
which have been identified by staff, with assistance from technical consultants, The repairs
are being addressed as funding permits.
The following summarizes the office space needs.
OFFICE SPACE NEEDS
The two portables are at the end of their useful life, They have provided temporary relief to
the overcrowded office, but further expense to repair the 30 + year old structures is not cost
effective. There are up to 18 staff housed in the 750 sq,. ft, office portable and the 400 sq.
ft. office trailer. Heating and cooling in both are a major concern (to correct this will cost about
$ 10,0001. There is no covered access to get from these structure to the head office, In
winter, particularly, health and safety is an issue,
Options:
1. Reorganization of existing space
The office planning consultant reviewed office needs and concluded that to accommodate the
staff from the portables and the trailer within the head office would require conversion of the
Humber Room, two other meeting rooms and part of the lunch room. The Authority's standard
office workstation is about 50 sq, ft. which is barely sufficient to accommodate current
computer needs,
Sacrificing amenities such as the lunch room or needed meeting space is not acceptable, We
are too crowded now.
2. Outside Space - Other Authority Buildings
Staff and the special sub-committee looked at all available Authority locations where staff
might be relocated, Examples were KCC, the Finch Dam, Agnew House, BCPV, Criteria used
to evaluate this option included:
- cost and availability of support services (photo copiers, fax, telephones
etc.l
- additional travel to head office
- access to central filing
- nature of work unit to be relocated i.e, need to interact with the public,
relationships with other work units and senior staff, etc
- one time costs of retrofitting other locations and moving expense
The efficiencies of a centralized head office and the lack of suitable space within a
reasonable distance, eliminated this option,
October 17, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 8585
3. Rental Space
It is possible to rent office space nearby, Estimated costs would be in the order of $10.00/sq.
ft., depending on the volume leased and the duration of the lease ($5/sq,ft. rent plus $5/sq.ft,
taxes, insurance and maintenance) This option has some of the same disadvantages of moving
to other Authority owned space. Need for communications, computer network connects, office
services etc, Additional travel time could be minimized since space is available within one or
two miles of head office,
There is suitable space available, To obtain the lowest annual lease cost, a 10+ year
commitment is needed, While the rental cost per square foot is fixed, the TMI will vary over
the duration of the lease, In the long term, this would mean rental costs of $17,000 to
$20,000 annually (for equivalent space of 1,700 sq, ft,), The actual cost would be higher
because the space available at $5/sq.ft.. Is larger (about 4,000 sq.ft,) than needed. To find
exactly 1,700 sq.ft, would likely mean a higher cost per square foot due to lost economies of
scale,
4. Heed Office Addition
Estimated cost of finished office space is about $100 + per square foot assuming an addition
of at least 2,000 sq. ft. to build a small addition, i.e. 1,700 sq. ft., would cost more because
the economies of scale are lost, The theoretical cost would be $170,000 but, it is unlikely that
we would proceed with such a small addition given the cost of permits, drawings, approvals
etc and the disruption caused, If we are going to take out a wall and extend the building, the
most likely scenario would involve an expenditure in excess of $200,000.
5. Replace Portables With Prefab Office
Plans illustrating the prefab office (about 1,700 sq. ft.) to replace the portables are attached,
A key concern is some sort of covered link to head office. To provide such a link which meets
the North York building code is necessary to deal effectively with the health and safety issue.
A prefabricated structure has a life expectancy of 15 years. In the event the need for the space
was to disappear, the structure could be sold or moved to another location,
This option has a key advantage in that a replacement structure will cost only marginally more
to operate, Although the space is larger, the heating/ cooling will be gas as opposed to forced
air and base board electric, The Authority does not pay property taxes on its head office, Also,
savings will be achieved in that the rental trailer is costing about $4,800/year.
Staff is recommending replacement of the portables with a prefabricated structure as the most
cost effective, long term solution,
FINANCIAL DETAILS
There is $150,000 budgeted in 1997 for head office renovations funded by reserves, Of this
amount, $100,000 will be spent to replace the portables and the balance to achieve other
building major maintenance and repairs. $50.000 is budgeted in each of 1998 and 1999 to
continue this work,
8586 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 October 17, 1 997
For comparative purposes, the costs of the various options are:
A. Other Authority Office
Capital, Construction: None
Capital, Minor One Time: $4,000 to $5,000 for office equipment
Operating: No estimate available: depends on travel costs,
additional phone lines, copiers, travel, etc.
B, Rental Space
Capital, Construction: Depends on rental space and leasehold
improvement allowances available,
Capital, Minor One Time: $4,000 to $5,000 for office equipment, phones
etc,
Operating: $10/sq,ft, depending on location and volume of
space i.e, between $20,000 and $40,000,
C. Building Addition
Capital, Construction: $100/sq,ft, finished space plus permit fees,
heating/cooling upgrades etc,
Capital, Minor One Time: minimal, can use existing phones photocopier etc
Operating: nominal, already paying for utilities, heating etc
some energy efficiencies.
D. Prefabricated Structure
Capital, Construction: $100,000 (about $60/sq, ft, complete)
Capital, Minor One Time: Minimal
Operating: nominal, already paying heat etc, may be some
increased efficiency from use of gas and improved
insulation,
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Proposals for the supply and installation of the prefabricated office have been requested,
Details will be available at the October 17, 1997 meeting of the Executive Committee, at which
time a recommendation to award a contract will be made.
Staff is finalizing details regarding approvals from the City of North York. Depending on
delivery times, a schedule for construction prior to year end will be established. Staff in the
portable and trailer will be relocated temporarily to other locations during the period of
construction.

the volume of visitation. Facilities with more than 30.000 attendance are considered Major
Attractions and pay $4500 per freeway ramp, Regular attractions have a smaller sign and pay
$2800 annually. Other highway signs are priced according to location and size, The new signs
will be more attractive and supposedly better maintained,
The resolution adopted by the Authority directed staff to continue negotiations to determine
if the charges proposed could be reduced and to look at alternative types of non-highway
signage,
8592 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 October 17, 1997
RA TIONALE
As directed, Staff wrote to the Ministers of Transportation and Economic Development, Trade
and Tourism advising of the Authority's concerns, Copies were sent to area MPP's and
municipalities, While a number of jurisdictions indicated support for the Authority's position,
the Province advised that they were not prepared to consider changes to the TaOS program,
The Authority was directed to work with the TaOS representatives to obtain an appropriate
arrangement.
Staff has met with the TODS representatives on a number of occasions, They have extended
deadlines for inclusion in the program and now require that the Authority either commit to the
program or accept that the Provincial Highway signs will be removed, TaOS is working to a
schedule which will see various sections of highway completed over the next 12 months, The
#400/#401 section is being done in November hence the need to approve contracts at this
time,
Staff have been unable to secure any changes in the pricing schedule, Also, other organizations
have tried without affect to have the charges reduced or deferred, The government remains
committed to the program and will make no exceptions.
The TaOS staff have been as helpful as possible within the limits of the program, Certainly the
product itself, the new signs, will be more attractive and better maintained. Staff is convince
of the need to participate because of the traffic volumes through the #400/401 area. Exposure
for Black Creek Pioneer Village at the #400/401 location is critical given the number of visitors
who travel through that intersection, The opportunity to expose the hundreds of thousands
of passing vehicles to Village signage is significant.
Conservation Area/Kortright Centre
After a review of existing signage, a decision has been made to establish "attractions" signs for
Kortright at Highway #400 northbound at Rutherford and Southbound at Major Mackenzie plus
ramp markers at a cost of $9.000. Two additional highway signs at a cost of $153 each will
be needed, Total cost of the package needed in 1997 is $9957.42 (including GST).
Additional signage will be constructed for Conservation Areas and the campgrounds in 1998.
Costs will depend on the location and number of signs constructed,
Black Creek Pioneer Village
As mentioned above, staff has concluded that there is need for two major attraction signs
directing visitors northbound on Highway 400 to the Village. Individual markers are also
included in the package and the total will be $10,000 including GST.
In addition, there are two small signs located on the Highway #410 east and west bound exit
ramps to the #400, These two signs direct vehicles to BCPV at the point where Black Creek
Drive goes south and are a critical aid to visitors who might otherwise associate Black Creek
Drive with the Village, These signs were put in place more than 10 years ago as a result of
confusion about Black Creek Drive.
October 17, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 8593
The TaOS representatives advise that these two signs are not part of the TaOS mandate and
that they have no objection to the two signs remaining where they are, The TaOS
representatives advised MTO officials of the need to retain these signs but the MTO staff have
said they will be removed because they are not part of TaOS and are outside the MTO sign
rules. Staff is seeking a resolution from Executive Committee to support retention of these two
signs.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
As noted, the Authority must absorb an additional $20,000 in 1997 in costs as a result of the
TaOS program. The TaOS program will have annual costs in access of this once the details
on the conservation area/campground signage is determined,
DETAILS OF WORK TO 8E DONE
Staff will continue to work with the TaOS representatives to ensure that the signage needed
is acquired at the least possible cost. Also, The Regional Municipalities are developing their own
sign systems to cover regional roads and highways assumed by the Region from the Province.
The Region of York expects to have their own signage program in place in the spring of 1998,
Staff will report further on potential costs of this signage as information becomes available,

THAT the Claireville Technical Advisory Committee be consulted first as part of the process;

THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Meeting #4/97 of The Finance and Business Development Advisory Board, the members
adopted a report from staff suggesting that prior to marketing the subject parcels, because of
the unique nature of Authority holdings in the Claireville area and the extensive management
planning recently completed, the Authority should more precisely define achievable acceptable
uses, Members may recall that proposals for marketing of the two parcels were called in July
of 1997, Three proposals were received but none was found to be acceptable.
To assist staff in coming up with a process to adequately deal with the unique nature of this
location. as well as the environmental and monetary issues at hand, staff has had a number of
conversations with Dale Martin the former Provincial Facilitator who is now working in the
private sector, Emanating from those discussions, as well as a number of internal staff
discussions, Mr. Martin has submitted the following proposal:
PROPOSAL
Psrcal1 (16 scra psrcal north of Hwy 71
This Parcel is identified as commercial/office node in the existing plan. It is suggested that in
view of current market conditions, it would be useful to the Authority to explore the idea of
residential development.
Recent amendments to the Condominium Act now make it possible to enter into long term
leases for condominium development. It would appear that at this time residential development
under a long term lease offers the greatest potential for the Authority in both value and policy
terms.
Shorter term tenure would mean a more temporary industrial type development at a much lower
rental rate for the Authority.
October 17, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 8595
It is suggested that the multitude of ecological issues associated with a development of this
nature could provide a unique opportunity for an ecological sound development with leading
edge environmental and conservation features,
ParCR' :J (9 acrR piRCR of 'and South of Hwy #7J
This parcel is identified as potential high intensity recreational and educational uses, facilities
or services with a high standard of designs and landscaping.
The proposal is to set up a process for the development of a new concept commercial retail
centre (Centre) based on the themes of outdoor recreation and respect and appreciation of the
natural environment.
These themes are appropriate since they are in line with the MTRCA's own values and interests
and in accord with the values and interests identified in the Claireville Conservation Area's
Management Plan of February 1997, This would allow the Authority to both maximize
revenues from land development and advance its policy mandate as a result.
The development, concept is for a commercial retail centre and ancillary uses together with
additional complimentary activities focused on outdoor recreation. The size and scale of the
development and the breadth of the cluster of commercial retail products and services, ancillary
sales and services and the range of the complimentary activities will be determined through the
selection process and in consultation with interested parties and stakeholders,
Qualification for inclusion of products, services and activities in the new concept centre could
range very broadly within the definition of outdoor recreation. Impact on the environment of
the recreational activity should be a key issue in deciding what mayor may not be included.
Ideally the Centre will, through its products, services and activities enhance the state of the
natural environment, Customers and participants at the Centre will be introduced and exposed
to the environment in a natural state, they will deepen their understanding and appreciation for
natural systems, and the importance of conservation and habitat enhancement,
This would logically mean a commercial retail centre offering the full range of products, services
and activities for everything from hiking and bird watching through to biking, climbing,
canoeing, kayaking, and skiing,
. The Centre could have within it retailers offering a range of products and
services such as clothing and equipment, all forms of self propelled
transportation, outfitting services, wilderness adventure and travel services, as
well as books and information on outdoor recreation and nature.
. The Centre could also have education and training programmes offered to the
public for developing and improving skills and for learning about nature and
natural systems.
. The Centre could be an activity centre and information centre where individuals
could either connect to clubs and/or organized events or pursue self directed
outdoor activities in the conservation area.
8596 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 October 17, 1997
. The Centre could also have space for manufacturer's to display and demonstrate
their products (Including new and leading edge items. New products could be
introduced and tested at the Centre,

Successful proponent chosen March
Estimated Cost of Services as set out:
Fees - Not to exceed $ 1 7,500.00
Incidental Costs $ 2,500.00
RA TIONALE
Staff had previously considered proposals from a number of companies to assist in the
marketing of these parcels. An acceptable proposal was not received and discussions were
initiated with Mr. Martin. His proposal most effectively meets the Authority's needs at the cost
which is comparable to the lowest cost proposal previously received,
October 17, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 8597
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
If the proposal is accepted, Parcel 2(south of Highway #7) would be the primary focus,
Although the proposal deals with this parcel in the context of the approved Claireville Area
Management Plan, the Claireville Technical Advisory Committee would be consulted as part of
the process,
Because the Proposal suggests a land use for Parcel 1 (north of Highway #7) which is different
from the approved Claireville Area Management Plan, it will be essential to consult with the
Claireville Technical Advisory Committee and seek their agreement to a change. Ultimately,
the proposed residential use would have to be approved by the Authority and acceptable to the
City of Brampton.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Funding is available from the leasehold revenue account.

8604 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 October 17, 1997
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Broda Drive is a cul-de-sac running west off Highway 27 south of Major Mackenzie Drive.
Existing lots of record, approved in or about the 1950's, extend north and south off Broda
Drive. Many lots are developed with single family homes. Several lots remain vacant. The
subject lot is located on the north side of the street and is vacant with the exception of a
small shed located approximately midway on the lot, four lots in from the west end of the
cul-de-sac. The lots on either side of the property are developed.
The Humber River traverses this area in a large meander, running parallel to Broda Drive on
both the north and south side of the street. The cul-de-sac ends at the river bend. The
western half of the street is located entirely within the Regional Storm flood plain and is
subject to the Authority's construction regulation. The subject lot is located totally within
the flood plain. Six flood prone lots are developed (4 on the north side of Broda Drive and 2
on the south side). The remaining 6-7 floodprone lots are vacant. The entire street is
located within the Humber River valley and is subject to the Authority's fill regulation.
BACKGROUND
The subject lot forms part of a 19 lot plan of subdivision registered in 1950. Approximately
10 dwellings exist on the street, 7 of which were constructed in the flood plain. Building
permits for these buildings were issued in 1950 according to Vaughan records.
The Ammendolia's purchased the subject lot in 1984 for the purpose of constructing a
single family dwelling.
At the time of the purchase, the subject lot was zoned "F" (flood plain) by By-law 2523.
This By-law was enacted in 1960. The WF- Zone prohibited the construction of a new
dwelling and gave existing buildings a legal non-conforming status.
The Zoning By-law was updated in 1988 and the .F" designation replaced with an "OSI"
(Open Space Conservation) designation. The .OSI" zone is in place today and continues to
prohibit the construction of buildings or structures except for conservation or flood control
purposes.
In 1988, an application seeking permission to construct a new dwelling and private septic
system on the subject lot was the subject of a Hearing by the MTRCA's Executive
Committee pursuant to its Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation. The
application was refused as, in the opinion of the Executive Committee, it would affect the
control of flooding. This decision was not appealed.
In and around that time, the staff were also circulated a rezoning application by Vaughan
staff. The application was to rezone the subject lot from OSI (Open Space Conservation) to
"R1- (Residential). In view of the Authority's refusal to issue a permit this application was
not pursued by the Ammendolias.
The subject lands are also designated WValleylands" within the Kleinburg-Nashville
Community Plan (OPA # 160). This land use designation prohibits the construction of
buildings or structures or the placement of fill without the approval of the MTRCA. This
OPA was approved in 1982.
October 17, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 8605
On October 17, 1994, the Minister of Municipal Affairs approved the York Region Official
Plan. The Humber River valleylands form part of the Regional Greenlands system and new
residential development is prohibited within valley and stream corridors without prior
approvals being granted by the Authority.
Over the past 25 years, some building permits have been issued for additions and
renovations as legal non-conforming uses. No ne..w dwellings have been constructed.
Over the years, on-going discussions have taken place with the Ammendolias. These
discussions have focused on their continued wish to construct a single family dwelling on
the lot or having it purchased by the Authority.
The subject property complies with the Authority's greenspace acquisition criteria. It is
undeveloped flood plain land within the Humber River valley system. Other properties on
Broda Drive have also been identified as being a high priority for acquisition in recognition of
the severity and history of flooding that threatens the area. The Authority last acquired
property on Broda Drive in 1992, the Leach property located at the very end of the street,
and subsequently demolished the residential dwelling that occupied the site.
On September 1, 1996, staff met with Mr. Ammendolia and advised that the Authority
would proceed with an independent appraisal of the property. The latest discussions with
the Ammendolias regarding acquisition took place in April 1997 at which time staff advised
on the appraised value. Mr. Ammendolia indicated that he was not interested in selling at
the appraised value.
In view of the time that has lapsed since the 1988 Hearing, the Ammendolias have
requested that their application be revisited and a new Hearing be scheduled.
PROPOSAL
The proposal consists of the construction of a 2000 square foot single family dwelling and
the placement of fill and regrading associated with the construction of a private sewage
disposal system and to allow for positive drainage of the site to the river.
The site is located totally within the regulatory flood plain and fill schedules. In 1996, the
Authority as a component of the Humber River Watershed Strategy undertook a complete
update of the hydrology and hydraulics for the Humber River. The updated hydraulics for
this reach of the Humber River indicated a slightly lower regional flow and therefore, a lower
flood line through the site (approximately .30 metre reduction from that identified on
MTRCA 1982 flood plain mapping).
Under Regional Storm conditions, the Ammendolia property is subject to flood depths of
approximately 1.5 metres at the front of the property to 3.5 metres at the rear of the
property. The velocities of flow through the area are not overly excessive, ranging from
0.9 m/s to 1.2 m/s under regional flow. The depth of flooding at the proposed structure
would be approximately 1.5 metres with velocities in the 0.9 m/s range. The house would
be flood vulnerable at flows between the 350 year and regulatory events.
8606 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 October 17, 1 997
As the applicant has not proceeded to detail design at this time, estimates of the quantity of
fill to establish the private sewage disposal system and to allow for positive drainage of the
lot towards the river have been based on the applicant's grading plan submitted with his
1988 application. Approximately one half metre of fill over half the lot is proposed to
facilitate the positive drainage to the river and for tile field requirements. A rough estimate
of fill required to establish the tile field and to allow positive drainage of the site is 580
cubic metres. The septic system would be highly flood vulnerable with portions being
subjected to flood waters at frequencies as low as the 10 year flow. The proposed septic
system and associated grading would be located within the hydraulic floodway.
Estimates of stream erosion were determined by staff through the comparison of two series
of aerial photos (1954-1977) and (1946-1993). Erosion rates were calculated at meander
bends and it was determined that the proposed dwelling and associated septic system
would be located outside the estimated 100 year erosion rate; and therefore, not negatively
impacted by stream erosion over the life expectancy of the structures.
The Broda Drive area is highly flood vulnerable and is prone to ice jams. There have been
several flood emergencies in the vicinity resulting from the ice jamming problems.
POLICY AND RATIONALE
The application was reviewed on the basis of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor
Management Program (1994), Section 4.2.2 - Development and
Redevelopment/Intensification Within Non-Established Communities/Highly Urbanized Areas
and in particular Section 4.2.2 (G) - Infilling.
Within the Authority's jurisdiction, development has historically occurred within valley and
stream corridors. This development has occurred in isolation (ie. single structures) in low
concentration (ie. small groups of development or strip development along a valley wall),
and in some instances settled communities or highly urbanized areas have been established.
The Program recognizes that where development has occurred within valley and stream
corridors, increased flexibility for valleyland management is required. To this end, the
Authority's policies and criteria for ..existing-1ieveLopment within these areas permit higher
levels of risk associated with flooding, erosion and slope instability, and recognize that
environmental rehabilitation is more limited. Inherent in these policies is the objective to
minimize, reduce or eliminate these risks and also achieve environmental protection and
rehabilitation to the fullest extent possible.
The application of these policies will also have regard to the characteristics of the adjacent
cnrridnr rf~;lch; therefore, opportunities for development and redevelopment of any site will
be consistent with, and dependant upon, the extent and nature of existing development on
the subject site and with development patterns within the corridor reach as a whole.
The Broda Drive area falls under the category of development in low concentration (ie. Small
groups of development). The following policies, criteria and implementation procedures

E) &aperty Improvements and AncillaDl-Structw_es
It is recognized that where development exists within valley and stream corridors,
provisions for property improvements and ancillary structures need to be addressed;
however, it must be recognized that property improvements and ancillary structures
can negatively impact valley and stream corridor landforms, features and functions.
To this end, property improvements and ancillary structures associated with typical
lot appurtenances such as fencing, decks, stairs and minor alterations to
grade/landscaping may he permitted subject to and in compliance with the following:
October 17, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #8/97 8613

j) not result in unacceptable impacts to flood storage and
conveyance;
ii) not create or aggravate flooding on adjacent, upstream or
downstream properties;
iij) minimize property damage associated with flooding to the
extent technically possible and the liability be assumed by the
owner.
NOTE: Notwithstanding the above, ancillary structures will be
restricted from locating within the hydraulic floodway or will be subject
to more rigorous design requirements.
2) If located on or adjacent to a valley wall:
j) will not be permitted within the erosion impact zone (either
adjacent to or on the valley wall itself), if the valley wall is
unstable;
ij) will not result in unacceptable impacts to slope stability and
river erosion;
iij) will not create or aggravate erosion or slope instability on
adjacent upstream or downstream properties;
iv) will minimize property damage associated with erosion/slope
instability to the extent technically possible and the liability
must be assumed by the owner.

Significant Area and does not result in the loss of its significant features.
4) Minimize potential impacts to the function or structure of the riparian habitat.
5) Property improvements and ancillary structures that introduce greater
potential for valleyland impacts such as swimming pools, retaining walls,
garden sheds, gazebos, grade cutting and filling shall be prohibited except:
i) swimming pools and small ancillary structures may be permitted
to be located within the Regulatory Flood Plain and/or adjacent
to stable valley slopes subject to the criteria outlined above.

within the corridor reach;
ii) are not located within the Regulatory Flood Plain;
Hi) are not located on a valley wall;
iv) are not located within the active erosion zone of an unstable
valley slope. either adjacent to the top or toe of slope;
v) will not create or aggravate erosion or slope instability on
adjacent, upstream and downstream properties;
vi) are not located within the active erosion zone of a watercourse
determined to be:
. within 10m of a stable river bank (measured from the
top of the river bank);
. within 20m of an unstable river bank. An unstable river
bank may be permitted to be stabilized provided the
proposed stabilization works are consistent with Section

ix) include sediment control during construction and subsequent
phases until such time as erodible areas have been
vegetated/stabilized;
x) are consistent with municipal policies and standards including
setbacks and grading, while achieving all of the above.
2) A new lot may be created between existing developed (urban) lots provided
the new development, its construction and any associated private servicing
requirements proposed on the new lot can comply with the policy and criteria
as outlined within 1) above.
H) Fxi!=:ting Rf!!=:nurcf!-ha!=:f!rt lJ!=:f!!=:
Existing resource-based uses of valley and stream corridors may have significant non-
structural features, such as greens and tees in the case of a golf course.
1 ) Changes to these types of non-structural features, including minor "additions"
or redesign shall be consistent with the policies, criteria and implementation
procedures presented in Sections 4.1.2 and the principles for
redevelopment/intensification found in Section 4.2.2 (A) to (F) inclusive;
however, the level of required flood, erosion and slope stability protection
shall be determined based on site specific evaluation.
2) Structural improvements shall comply with Section 4.2.2 (A) to (F).
SUMMARY
The subject subdivision was approved in 1950 prior to any regulatory controls being in place
which would have prohibited development within the flood plain. Various land use and
zoning controls have been in place since 1960 which prohibits new development in the
flood plain. The existing buildings/structures have been deemed legal non-conforming uses
by the City of Vaughan and policies and programs are in place by the City of Vaughan and
the Authority which recognizes this legal non-conforming status and allows for upgrades to
existing buildings/structures. The subject property is highly flood vulnerable; however,
because it is currently vacant, other than a small shed, flooding poses minimal risk to
property damage and/or loss of life. A new dwelling and associated private servicing
requirements will introduce risk where none exists and the Authority, through its programs
and regulations seeks to prevent this from occurring. Staff are therefore not prepared to
recommend approval of an application to construct a single family dwelling and private
sewage disposal system as it will impact the control of flooding.

B622 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #9/97 November 14,1997
SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION
RES. #B165/97 - FRENCHMAN'S BAY - WEST ROUGE CANOE CLUB
Extension of Agreement. To extend the agreement with the West Rouge
Canoe Club on a temporary basis from November 1, 1997 to October
31, 1998 for the existing location on the west spit of Frenchman's Bay.
Moved by: Lois Griffin
Seconded by: Case Ootes
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the request to extend the temporary
licence agreement with the West Rouge Canoe Club for a paddling facility on Frenchman's
Bay for the period from November 1, 1997 to October 31, 1998 be approved;
THAT the Council of the Town of Pickering be requested to concur with the extension to
the temporary lease agreement;
AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take
whatever action is required in connection with the establishment of the West Rouge Canoe
Club paddling facility, including the execution of appropriate documents. . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Meeting # 10/96, the Authority adopted Res. #A225/96:
"THA T the request to extend the temporary licence agreement with the West
Rouge Canoe Cub for a paddling facility on Frenchman's Bay for the period
from November 1, 1996 to October 31, 1997 be approved;
THA T the Council of the Town of Pickering be requested to concur with the
extension to the temporary lease agreement;
AND FURTHER THA T the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and
directed to take whatever action is required in connection with the
establishment of the West Rouge Canoe Club paddling facility, including the
development and execution of appropriate documents. "
November 14,1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #9/97 B623
The Town of Pickering Council concurred with the lease extension to October 31, 1997 and
direction to issue a building permit at its November 11, 1996 meeting by adopting the
following resolution:
nThat the request of the West Rouge Canoe Club to extend its lease
agreement with the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
for the period November 1, 1996 to October 31, 1997, to accommodate a
temporary compound on the west spit of Frenchman's Bay for the storage,
within trailers, of canoes and kayaks associated with the club's paddling
facility, be supported by Council, and that a building permit be obtained from
the Town's Building Department for the two existing temporary trailers on the
site. '
The West Rouge Canoe Club has operated since April 23, 1994 at this location, as outlined
on the attached figure, in accordance with the agreement conditions. For the period of the
agreement, no objections from the residents and users of the Frenchman's Bay West Park
were received. The West Rouge Canoe Club, by letter dated September 18, 1997 has
requested an extension of this temporary agreement to October 31, 1998.
On October 14, 1997, the Mayor's Task Force on the Pickering Waterfront released its
Interim Report "Waterfront 2001". Council directed the Task Force to seek comments on
the waterfront vision and recommendations with the final report expected in early 1998.
The report recommends that "a facility for small craft users, including sea scouts, dragon
boaters and the West Rouge Canoe Club should be established along Frenchman's Bay,
using a floating dock system."
RA TIONALE
The paddling facility is consistent with the environmentally-friendly recreation activities
which are suitable for the Bay and with the current park operations. This proved to be the
case for the operating seasons 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997 with no objections from the
residents and users of the park.
Discussions with the Town of Pickering Planning Department indicate support to extend the
agreement for a further temporary period based on the results of 1994, 1995, 1996 and
1997, operation of the paddling facility. Recent discussions with The Town of Pickering
Director of Planning indicate support for the extension on a one year basis with the Town's
approval being processed December, 1997.
Any long term agreement would have to be consistent with the recommendations from the
Waterfront Task Force and the site selection process which could be completed in 1998 or
early 1999.
The proposal also has the concurrence of the Director of Finance and Business
Development.
B624 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #9/97 November 14,1997
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Approval of the Town of Pickering to extend the temporary agreement for the period
November 1, 1997 to October 31, 1998 will be required.
Approval of the Pickering Harbour Company, who also participated in the Frenchman's Bay
Watch Committee, is being requested.
Staff, upon approval by the Authority, will prepare and execute the necessary documents
for the period November 1, 1997 to October 31, 1998.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The Club will continue as in 1995-97 to cover the costs of one portable toilet which will be
accessible to the park users, and any additional costs deemed appropriate to cover Authority
property taxes for the site area.
The Club has also agreed to assist the Authority with on-site clean-up and assist in
monitoring any activities deemed detrimental to the public's enjoyment of this area.
The Club will also maintain the trailers to the satisfaction of the Authority.

November 14, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #9/97 B627
RES. #8166/97 - REVISED REGION OF PEEL OFFICIAL PLAN
Proposed Settlement of Environmental/Aggregate Policies
Report on the settlement discussions concerning the Greenlands and
Aggregate policies and schedules of the Region of Peel Official Plan as
related to the upcoming Ontario Municipal Board hearing.
Moved by: Lois Griffin
Seconded by: Case Ootes
WHEREAS negotiations and discussions with the Region of Peel and other parties has led to
the preparation of a revised draft Region of Peel Official Plan, dated October 31, 1997; and
WHEREAS the revised Official Plan is to be recommended for approval by Regional Council
at their meeting of December 18, 1997; and
WHEREAS the Region's Solicitor has requested parties to execute a "Confirmation of
Settlement. form confirming our support of the proposed revisions and to request the
Ontario Municipal Board to incorporate these revisions into the Official Plan; and
WHEREAS staff is satisfied that the proposed revisions address the major concerns raised by
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in their appeal of the Region
of Peel Official Plan; and
WHEREAS there remain a few outstanding issues;
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Ontario Municipal Board and the
Region of Peel be informed that The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority supports the Region of Peel Official Plan as revised and authorizes staff to execute
the .Confirmation of Settlement., upon resolving all outstanding issues. . . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting # 1 0/96, held November 22, 1996 Resolution #A228/96 was adopted:
.WHEREAS the Regional Greenlands System in the Region of Peel comprises
those natural resource features, landforms and functions of primary concern
to the achievement of Authority policies and programs; and
WHEREAS the Region of Peel has supported in policy the protection of the
Regional-Grermlands System in r:ooperation- wlth-rhe-;c,uthority; and -
WHEREAS the Region of Peel, in attempting to resolve an issue related to
Aggregate Resource extraction, removed the mapping of the Greenlands
System from the Regional Official Plan because it was not specific, but
conceptual; and
B628 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #9/97 November 14, 1997
WHEREAS it has been the Authority's position that the mapping of the
Greenlands System should reflect all valley and stream corridors,
environmental resources and lands prone to natural hazard, where known;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOL VED THA T the Authority strongly urges the Region
to reinstate mapping in the Official Plan to identify the Greenlands System
and that Authority staff be directed to provide assistance to the Region in the
preparation of this mapping;
THA T Authority staff continue to work with staff of the Region of Peel, with
respect to the technical amendments required to the Plan to those areas
affecting Authority policy and program interests.
AND FURTHER THA T Authority staff be directed to initiate an appeal with the
Ontario Municipal Board to the Official Plan for the Region of Peel, to secure
the addition of a Greenlands Schedule within the plan, and to join with the
Region of Peel in appealing the imposition by the Minister, of a schedule
identifying aggregate resource areas, in so far as it may conflict with the
Greenlands system and other environmental resource areas as defined in the
Regional Official Plan. '
This report is in response to several months of discussions with staff and lawyers
representing the various "parties" to the OMB Hearing dealing with the Greenlands and
Aggregate Sections of the Official Plan, which is scheduled for January 9, 1998.
In July, 1996, Council of the Regional Municipality of Peel approved their Official Plan. In
October of 1996 the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) approved the
Official Plan, subject to a number of modifications, including the deletion of the Region's
"Greenlands" Schedule and the inclusion of a "Mineral Aggregate Resources" Schedule.
There were over 100 appeals of the Region's Official Plan to the OMB, many of which
related to the Minister's modifications. Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) and the
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (MTRCA) have been cooperating in
an effort to resolve concerns with the Plan relating to the "Greenlands" Schedule and
associated policies and Schedule for Mineral Aggregate Resources.
In spite of earlier attempts to have these provisions of the Region's Official Plan deferred
until such time as the Caledon Community Resources Study (CCRS) is completed, the OMB
recently scheduled January 9, 1998 to commence the hearing of appeals relating to the
environment and mineral resources issues. To this end, beginning in September and
continuing to the present, the Region developed and implemented an intensive conflict
resolution proce" -involving key-eppell!nts~~amely, -ttH~-Region and lo-ca1 municipalities, the
aggregate industry, the Conservation Authorities, and several citizen/landowner groups.
CVC and MTRCA staff attended thirteen meetings between September 2nd and October
30th on behalf of the Conservation Authorities. Staff were also assisted by our shared legal
counsel, Ms. J. Matera of Gardiner, Roberts.
November 14, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #9/97 B629
RATIONALE
The previous report which the Authority dealt with on November 22, 1996 focused on two
primary areas of concern. The status of each of these is as follows.
1. The Greenlands System
The "Greenlands System in Peel" has been defined to consist of three components, based
largely on a sharing of jurisdictional responsibility between the Region and the area
municipalities. The "Core Areas of the Greenlands System in Peel" has been defined to
include: provincially significant wetlands (Class 1-3); woodlands 30 hectares or greater;
environmentally Significant Areas; Provincial Life Science Areas of Natural and Scientific
Interest; habitats of vulnerable, endangered or threatened species; Niagara Escarpment Plan
"Natural Area"; and, valley and stream corridors (defined as the main rivers, their major
tributaries and other key corridor linkages). All of these features have now been mapped
and will form Schedule A in the Plan. Development and site alterations are prohibited within
the Core Areas except for: a) development permitted through Two Zone and/or Special
Policy Areas; b) minor development, site alteration and passive recreation; essential
servicing; and, works for conservation purposes. These exceptions may be permitted
through an approved area municipal official plan.
In addition, new development, site alterations and the establishment or expansion of
aggregate extraction is generally prohibited within all valley and stream corridors that have
an upstream drainage area of 125 hectares or greater. These valley and stream corridors,
along with a number of other components which contain important ecological features,
forms and/or functions (such as Class 407 wetlands), make up the "Natural Areas and
Corridors of the Greenlands System in Peel". The balance of the system is represented by
"Potential Environmentally Significant Areas, valley and stream corridors that have an
upstream drainage area of less than 125 hectares, and a number of other components
which may also contain important ecological forms, features and/or functions. Policies are
provided that ensure that these areas are protected through the area municipal official plans.
We believe that the policy provisions contained within the Plan, and the inclusion of a
Greenlands Schedule addresses our previous concerns related to the identification and
protection of important environmental features and functions in Peel.
2. High Potential Mineral Aggregate Resource Areas
A considerable number of modifications were made by the Minister in support of aggregate
extraction. Staff have now had the opportunity to review these and other related policies
and have been able to resolve previous concerns. The Schedule which now depicts the
High Potential Mineral Aggregate Resource Areas (Schedule Cl, was developed by screening
out those areas identified as being-the-L'Core Areas""Of the-Greenlands -System in Peel". In
support of this approach, the Plan contains a policy prohibiting new or expanded mineral
aggregate extraction sites and wayside pits and quarries in the "Core Areas of the
Greenlands System" as well as Escarpment Protection Areas. In addition, as previously
noted, extraction is also generally prohibited in significant valley and stream corridors which
are not considered as "Core"/ Policies also make it clear that applications for future
aggregate extraction will be subject to the Caledon Community Resources Study when
approved and implemented. In addition, future applicants will be required to carry out
B630 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #9/97 November 14, 1997
appropriate studies to deal with other watershed and related environmental concerns. The
"Greenlands" and" Aggregates" sections of the Peel Plan, as now formulated, provided a
much improved balance between the protection of the environment, the interests and
concerns of the local community, and the interests of the aggregate industry.
SUMMARY AND DEl AILS OF WORK TO BE COMPLETED
A number of modifications were made to the Region of Peel Official Plan on October 21 ,
1996. There were a number of these changes which we felt detracted from our ability to
protect the long term health of the watershed and the Greenlands System in Peel. Through
an intensive process of discussion and negotiation, involving all three area municipalities,
several provincial agencies, community representatives, individuals, the aggregate industry
and the Region of Peel, the Plan strikes a much improved balanced and consistent approach
to environmental and mineral resource protection. Provisions have also been made to allow
for further refinements and controls through local municipal Official Plans.
The Final Draft of the Policies and Schedules for the Plan, dated October 31 st have been
determined to be generally acceptable to Authority staff. The revised Official Plan is to be
recommended for approval by Regional Council at their meeting of December 18, 1997.
The Region's Solicitor has requested that we execute a "Confirmation of Settlement" form
confirming our support of the proposed revisions, and requesting the OMB to incorporate
them into the Official Plan.
At this point, some limited negotiations are continuing, which staff feel can be resolved to
our satisfaction. However, we do wish to retain the right to take a more aggressive position
at the upcoming OMB Hearing if these issues are not resolved. On this basis, we would
recommend that the form not be executed until the few remaining issues are resolved with
the expectation that this will occur within the next week or so.

BACKGROUND
The Nugget Construction Company Limited lands comprise approximately 20 hectares of
land within the A3 Community in the Town of Ajax, south of Bayly Street, west of Shoal
Point Road, east of the Carruther's Creek and north of Range Line Road (Attachment 1).
The plan of subdivision proposes 429 residential units with provision for parkland and open
space, of which the residential component consists of 139 single-family dwellings, 48 semi-
detached dwellings and 242 block townhouses.
There is a considerable amount of planning history to the Nugget Construction lands dating
back to 1988 when subdivision and zoning amendment applications were submitted to the
municipality. Plans for increased servicing were being contemplated by the Town of Ajax at
that time, which resulted in the Nugget Construction applications not being processed until
a plan for servicing was developed. In 1993 the A3 Transportation Evaluation Study was
completed, which was followed by the completion of a comprehensive land use study. A
new Official Plan Amendment was proposed in 1997 for a portion of these lands which
resulted in the applicant referring their applications to the Ontario Municipal Board.
The Nugget Construction lands fall under two separate official plan amendments; OPA 41
governs those lands situated between the main and western branch of the Carruther's
Creek, while the balance of the Nugget Construction lands are situated within OPA 47. To
facilitate the development of these two documents a Coordinated Environmental Study was
undertaken for the A3 Community, which was adopted by Ajax Town Council in July, 1997.
Authority staff were involved in the review and approval of this study, and identified issues
affecting the overall program and policy interests of the Authority as they relate to the A3
Community. Recommendations of the Coordinated Environmental Study identified limits
and protection measures for the Carruther's Creek and associated corridors which included
the Carruther's Creek Forest Environmentally Significant Area (ESA 113).
RA TIONALE
The Nugget Construction property is affected by a number of resource features, including
the Carruther's Creek valley and associated flood plain and the Carruther's Creek Forest
Environmentally Significant Area (ESA 1 13). The lands are regulated pursuant to Ontario
Regulation 158, and permits will be required from the Authority for any works within the
regulated area. The following is a brief description of the issues affecting these resource
features as they relate to the subject property.
Carruther's Creek:
The Carruther's Creek and its associated flood plain traverse the property at the north, west
and southern ends. Detailed modelling to address the proposed limits of flooding in relation
to the development have not been submitted for our review and approval, and the limits of
development as-prescribed on-1he-fand use"lanning-applications. haveTlot been confirmed.
It also appears that the low flow channel in two instances is situated in close proximity to
the toe of slope, and has not been assessed in relation to its 100 year meander belt and
riparian zone.
November 14, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #9/97 B633
-
Additionally, a block proposed for multiple family development appears to be situated within
the Carruther's Creek corridor on an approximate 0.71 hectare parcel of land situated
outside the flood plain between the main and west branches; supporting studies required as
part of the A3 Coordinated Environmental Review Study to address this parcel have not
been provided for our review and approval.
Carruther's Creek Forest Environmentally Significant Area fESA 113):
The Nugget Construction lands contain a good portion of the Carruther's Creek Forest
Environmentally Significant Area (ESA 113) which was adopted by this Authority as part of
the 1982 Environmentally Significant Areas Study. This ESA encompassed the valley land
forests as well as a large block of tableland forest, and thickets (mostly hawthorn). The
reasons for designation were related to the mature deciduous and coniferous swamps, as
well as a high diversity of birds. In the spring of 1997 Authority staff began an update for
the site, however limited access by the owner has resulted in this work not being finalized.
Although incomplete, Authority staff have reached the following conclusions utilizing their
limited field work, the original 1982 ESA Study work, the A3 Coordinated Environmental
Study and the applicant's own report:
The significance of this area is in part due to its position in the landscape. It is connected
to two other significant features, the Carruther's Marsh and the Warbler Swamp, and to
Lake Ontario. There is a high usage of this area by bird species on migration and there are
a number of species breeding on the site that are area sensitive or ground nesters which
require significant habitat blocks to succeed.
The forest cover extends onto the tableland where it gradates into the shrub thickets and
there are some inclusions of old field habitat within the thickets, especially near Shoal Point
Road.
The thicket habitat is being used by many species such as American redstart and American
woodcock.
The current land use planning applications by Nugget Construction propose development
encroaching within the boundaries of the Carruther's Creek Forest ESA, the extent of which
Authority staff cannot support.
Stormwater Management:
The proposed plan of subdivision entails utilizing a portion of the Carruther's Creek ESA for
storm water management purposes. Details regarding the impacts of such use, configuration
and sizing of the pond, and outlet design have not been submitted for our review and
approval. While-ihe-proposed pond WOtrld"rovide-aimffer-tor access;it would reduce the
core habitat to the cedar forest and would not substitute for the existing habitat values
present within the existing forest block.
B634 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #9/97 November 14,1997
CONCLUSION
Based on the rationale and explanation noted above, it is recommended that staff be
authorized to represent Authority interests before the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing on
the referrals to the Nugget Construction Company Limited land use planning applications.
Authority staff should advise the Town of Ajax, Regional Municipality of Durham and the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing, and continue to pursue the resolution of issues
with the relevant parties.

7.1.2 HOVE STREET PROPERTIES LIMITED
To alter a watercourse on Part Block "A", Registered Plan 676, (101 Glidden Road),
in the City of Brampton, Etobicoke Creek Watershed as located on property owned
'by same.
The purpose is to alter a waterway by constructing a storm sewer headwall and outfall
within a tributary of the Etobicoke Creek.
The permit will be issued for the period November 14, 1997 to November 13, 1999 in
accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
1. Plan; prepared by R.E. Winter & Associates Ltd.; Project 9388, Drawing SG-1, dated
September 1997; received October 15,1997
2. STC 1500 Precast Concrete Stonnceptor Detail Drawing; submitted by the applicant,
dated August 22, 1996; received October 15, 1997
RA TIONAlE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Propo~;:tl:
The proposal consists of the construction of a storm sewer headwall and outfall as part of
the reconstruction of the existing parking lot on the subject property. The works are
required due to an existing drainage problem which is directing runoff into the industrial
building from the deteriorated parking area. The site is not presently fill regulated, nor are
fill lines proposed pursuant to the Authority's on-going Fill Regulation Extension Program.
Control of Flooding:
The subject watercourse was channelized when this area of Brampton was originally
developed as an industrial park; the channel drains an area less than 125 hectares upstream
of this property. The new parking lot has been designed such that post development flows
will match pre-development runoff for the 2 through 100 year storm events.
Pollution:
Water quality will be enhanced by the installation of a stormceptor (Model STC 1500) within
the new storm sewer system. A combination of silt fencing, catch basin sediment traps and
the stormceptor will be used to control sedimentation during construction.
Con~p.rvation of l;:tnd:
The disturbed portion of riparian zone around the new outfall area will be rehabilitated with
native woody and herbaceous vegetation.
Polir-y GLJidp.linp.~:
The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's
Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prnpn~al :
The above proposal involves the construction of a storm sewer outfall to a tributary of the
West Don River. The watercourse is classified as a stream corridor (i.e., no defined valley
features). The works are required to facilitate the servicing of a proposed plan of
subdivision, 19T -84047. The site is not presently fill regulated; however, fill lines are
proposed to encompass the watercourse as part of the Authority's on-going Fill Regulation
Extension Program.
Cnntrnl nf Flnnrting:
The subject property is located within the approved Tudor Park Master Drainage Plan (MDP).
Through the subdivision process, a storm water management report was prepared which
demonstrated how the treatment of storm water runoff would comply with the approved
MDP. A flood study was also undertaken which delineated the flood plain limits of the
watercourse.
Subsequently, the flood plain was placed in an Open Space Conservation Zone which
prohibits development. The outfall structure is required to convey the minor system flows
of the proposed development to the creek. Technical staff has reviewed the location and
design of the outfall structure and is satisfied that it will not impact the control of flooding.
Pnlllltinn:
A sediment control fence will be in place adjacent to the watercourse during construction.
A temporary rock check dam will be constructed to prevent sediment from entering the
watercourse during construction of the outfall. Mud mats will also be installed during
construction.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Propnsal:
The applicant is proposing to regrade within a Fill Regulated Area in order to facilitate the
construction of a single family residential dwelling. The lot was created by a severance in
1988.
A permit was issued by the Authority's Executive Committee in 1988, C-0965, for regrading
within a regulated area to facilitate the construction of three dwellings and a perforated
sub-drain along the top of bank. Since 1988 one dwelling has been constructed and the
perforated sub-drain completed. The purpose of the perforated sub-drain was to redirect
drainage to Bruce Street. The site has been cleared of vegetation and pre-serviced.
Prior to the completion of construction, the above lot was sold, and the new owner is now
requesting permission to regrade within a regulated area to complete the construction of the
single family dwelling. The location of the dwelling complies with the previously approved
building envelope under the severance application and the regrading also complies with the
previously approved permit. The residential development on the neighbouring lot to the
north was approved by the Executive Committee on October 17, 1997 (Permit C-97192).

8650 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #9/97 November 14, 1997
Prnpo~al :
The proponent wishes to construct two storm sewer outfalls from proposed secondary
school site to two existing tributaries of the Rouge River.
One outfall structure is located on the east portion of the subject property and is to collect
runoff from the eastern parking lot. This structure outlets into a swale constructed to
collect overland flow from the subject property. The swale is being designed to maintain
the surface flow into the surrounding woodlot. The storm runoff from the outfall structure
will travel to an intermittent watercourse traversing the eastern portion of the subject
property. There is no Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with this watercourse.
The second outfall structure, located at the south end of the property, is to collect storm
runoff from the parking lot to the south. This outfall structure is outletting into a swale
which will direct flow to a second watercourse on the south of the site. There is a Regional
Storm Flood Plain associated with this watercourse.
Contrnl of Flooding:
The works will not impact the control of flooding.
Pollution:
Sediment fences will be constructed around the perimeter of the subject property and
around all outfall structures. All stockpiling of material is occurring outside of the Regional
Storm Flood Plain. A sediment fence will be erected around the perimeter of the stockpile.
Con~p.rvation of land:
All swales will be planted with the appropriate wet species and buffered with shrubs, as set
out in the storm water report prepared by Gartner Lee Associates. All disturbed areas
around the outfall structures and swales will be stabilized with seed or sod and native
woody species will be planted within the riparian zone.
Two stormceptors are being installed on the subject property to provide for water quality
treatment. They will be located between the final catch basin and the associated outfall.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Propo~~1 :
The applicant is proposing to redevelop an industrial lot which backs on to a reach of the
German Mills Creek, south and east of Yonge Street and Elgin Mills Road. Although much
of the watercourse is currently piped north of this reach, it is open at this lot. The flood
plain encroaches approximately 20 m into the rear of the property. The area is flat and
there is no well defined valley.
The proposal is to construct a storm water detention facility and outfall. All filling and
regrading will be outside of the flood plain. Fencing is proposed to be constructed around
the perimeter of the property and in the flood plain. We have asked for the fence to be
pulled out of the flood plain or the fence design to be modified to allow the passage of flow.
Control of Flooding:
As there will be no change in grade, and the fence will be redesigned or removed from the
flood plain, there will be no impact on the control of flooding. The stormwater management
practices proposed for the site will maintain runoff at pre-development levels.
Polllltion:
A sediment fence will be installed between the site and the watercourse to prevent the
movement of sediment into the water.
Cansent.ation of I ~nd:
There will be no work undertaken in the watercourse. There are no significant resource
features on the property.

Metro Parks and Culture is proposing to upgrade two parking lots within the Rouge Park.
The lots are within a Fill Regulated Area and in the flood plain.
8658 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #9/97 November 14, 1997
One is east of the Little Rouge River on Twyn Rivers Drive. The parking lot will be reduced
in size and pulled away from the edge of the stream bank. The existing granular surface is
to be regraded and supplemented with additional smaller stone to form a more uniform
grade. A landscaped island is to be placed in the centre of the parking lot to help blend it
into the natural surroundings. This island will be approximately 300 mm above the existing
grade of the parking lot. The remaining parking lot will remain at existing grade.
Some of the gravel removed from the parking lot will be used to construct two short
segments of trail around the facility.
To the west of the existing lot is an open meadow that was previously part of the original
parking facility. This area is to be covered with approximately 150 mm of topsoil and
seeded in order to encourage regeneration.
The second lot is on Old Finch Avenue just east of the Rouge River. This lot is also to be
regraded and two landscaped islands added. The finished elevation of the islands will be
300 mm above the existing grade of the parking lot. The finished grade of the parking lot
will be approximately 50 mm above the existing grade. There are many informal trails
leading away from this parking lot. Trail access will be controlled using page wire fencing
and plantings.
Cnntrol nf Flnnciing:
The net import of material and the change in grade will be very small. There will be no
impact on the control of flooding caused by this proposed work.
Pnlllltinn:
In both cases, sediment fencing will be installed prior to the work to prevent sediment from
entering the watercourse or to protect vegetation and other valley corridor features.
Cnn~ervatinn nf Lanci:
Metro Parks has been working with the Vegetation Management for the Rouge Alliance on
the redesign and proposed planting of these parking lots. The periphery of the parking lots
and the new islands will be planted with native species of trees and shrubs suitable to the
habitat and indigenous to the areas. These plantings will act to blend the parking lot
facilities into the natural surroundings and to provide access control to trails.

RES #B 173/97 - EXCHANGE OF LANDS/VICINITY OF ROOD AVENUE,
PICKERING
George M. Deane, John B. McCarten and Joseph Pitino
CFN 12166. Receipt of a request from George M. Deane, John B.
McCarten and Joseph Pitino, to explore the possibility of parcels of
surplus Authority lands situate in the Rodd Avenue area, Town of
Pickering, Regional Municipality of Durham, being exchanged for
Waterfront parcels, which are part of the Authority's Master
Acquisition Plan.
Moved by: Lois Griffin
Seconded by: Maria Augimeri
THAT the staff report dated October 31, 1997, be received. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Staff have had a number of meetings with area residents and officials of the Town of
Pickering, regarding amending the Authority's acquisition project boundary in the Rodd
Avenue/Bella Vista Drive area. A plan was brought forward reflecting the community and
Town of Pickering's input on the revised acquisition boundaries and process for disposal of
the resulting surplus Authority lands. At Meeting #4/96 held on May 31, 1996, the
Authority adopted Resolution #A99/96, declaring that various parcels of Authority-owned
tablelands, including 5 lots improved with single family homes, and three vacant parcels, be
surplus to the future requirements of the Authority and recommending that preference be
given whenever possible, to sales or exchanges being made at market value to former
owners, tenants, remaining private owners and abutting owners within ti'e amended
acquisition boundary.
In accordance with the provisions of Resolution #A99/96, and as outlined in the staff report
regarding the disposal process adopted by the Executive Committee at Meeting # 12/96,
held on January 10, 1997, under Resolution #B205/96, staff in consultation with the
Authority's solicitor and an independent appraiser, have initiated the disposal process as
follows:
November 14, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #9/97 8661
The priority of potential purchasers:
1 ) Former owners (Phase I)
2) Tenants (Phase I)
3) Remaining Private Owners situate within the amended boundary,
which included abutting property owners (Phase II)
4) General public (Phase III)
The former owners were either contacted directly, if an address could be found or best
efforts were made to contact them through the solicitor who acted on their behalf at the
time of the purchase by the Authority. None of the former owners that we were able to
contact has expressed interest in repurchasing their former property. The five tenants have
been contacted and two of them have expressed an interest in acquiring the property. The
Authority approved the sale of 531 Rodd Avenue at Meeting #4/97, held on May 30, 1997
and the sale of 554 Rodd Avenue at Meeting # 5/97, held on June 27, 1997.
Phase II of our disposal process required the Authority to offer the remaining surplus
properties for purchase at current market value to the private property owners, situate
within the amended acquisition boundary. The Authority advised the private owners within
the amended boundary about the availability of our surplus lands, excluding the two
properties of interest to our tenants, by letter on March 13, 1997. The Authority received
notice of interest from two private owners. The Authority approved the sale to Siragusa,
the owners of 537 Rodd Avenue at Meeting #9/97 held on October 31, 1997.
Negotiations are underway with George M. Deane, John B. McCarten and Joseph Pitino, the
owners of 541 and 535 Rodd Avenue and a further report will be brought forward to the
Executive Committee, at the meeting scheduled for November 14, 1997, if an acceptable
agreement can be finalized.
A map showing the location of the subject lands is appended.
RATIONALE
The subject Authority land has been declared surplus by the Authority.
The property at 541 Rodd Avenue falls within the Authority's approved master plan for
acquisition along the Lake Ontario shoreline and is adjacent to Authority holdings. It
represents one of the few remaining shoreline residential properties along this reach and is
within the hazard area of the Lake Ontario Shoreline. The acquisition of this property helps
consolidate the Authority holdings into a more meaningful and useful form and should
ensure that the long term vision of a public openspace system along this reach of shoreline,
be achieved.

- AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take
whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of any
necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Staff have had a number of meetings with area residents and officials of the Town of
Pickering regarding amending the Authority's acquisition project boundary in the Rodd
Avenue/Bella Vista Drive area. A plan was brought forward reflecting the community and
Town of Pickering's input on the revised acquisition boundaries ano process for disposal of
the resulting surplus Authority lands. At Meeting #4/96 held on May 31, 1996, the
Authority adopted Resolution #A99/96, declaring that various parcels of Authority-owned
tablelands, including 5 lots improved with single family homes, and three vacant parcels, be
surplus to the future requirements of the Authority and recommending that preference be
given whenever possible, to sales or exchanges being made at market value to former
owners, tenants, remaining private owners and abutting owners within the amended
acquisition boundary.
In accordance with the provisions of Resolution #A99/96, and as outlined in the staff report
regarding the disposal process adopted by the Executive Committee at Meeting # 12/96,
held on January 10, 1997, under Resolution #B205/96, staff in consultation with the
Authority's solicitor and an independent appraiser has initiated the disposal process as
follows:
The priority of potential purchasers be:
1 ) Former owners (Phase I)
2) Tenants (Phase I)
3) Remaining Private Owners situate within the amended boundary which
included abutting property owners (Phase II)
4) General public (Phase III)
The former owners were either contacted directly if an address could be found or best
efforts were made to contact them through the solicitor who acted on their behalf at the
time of the purchase by the Authority. None of the former owners that we were able to
contact has expressed interest in repurchasing their former property. The five tenants have
been contacted and two of them have expressed an interest in acquiring the property. The
Authority approved the sale of 531 Rodd Avenue at Meeting #4/97, held on May 30, 1997
and the sale of 554 Rodd Avenue at Meeting # 5/97, held on June 27, 1997.
November 14, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #9/97 B667
Phase II of our disposal process required the Authority to offer the remaining surplus
properties for purchase at current market value to the private property owners, situate
within the amended acquisition boundary. The Authority advised the private owners within
the amended boundary about the availability of our surplus lands, excluding the two
properties of interest to our tenants, by letter on March 13, 1997. The Authority received
notice of interest from two private owners. The Authority approved the sale to Siragusa the
owners of 537 Rodd Avenue at Meeting #9/97 held on October 31, 1997. An agreement,
to exchange lands has now been reached with the owners of 541 Rodd Avenue. The offer
at hand is in accordance with the appraised value of an independent evaluation obtained by
the Authority.
Staff has had some preliminary discussions with officials at the Town of Pickering regarding
the acquisition of the unopened road allowance adjacent to 535 and 541 Rodd Avenue.
George M. Deane, John B. McCarten and Joe Pitino are also the registered owners of 535
Rodd Avenue and through the agreement have waived their rights to the ravine portion of
the road allowance.
A map showing the location of the subject lands is appended.
The subject Authority parcels consists of fragments of tableland acquired from; A. & G.
Taylor in December 1981, Ernest Loader in October 1973 and Community Lifecare Inc. in
January 1992, under the Waterfront Component of the Land Acquisition Project.
RA TIONALE
The subject Authority land has been declared surplus by the Authority.
The property at 541 Rodd Avenue falls within the Authority's approved master plan for
acquisition along the Lake Ontario shoreline and is adjacent to Authority holdings. It
represents one of the few remaining shoreline residential properties along this reach and is
within the hazard area of the Lake Ontario shoreline. The acquisition of this property helps
consolidate the Authority holdings into a more meaningful and useful form and should
ensure that the long term vision of a public open space system along this reach of shoreline
will be achieved.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
It is proposed that the proceeds from land sales will be used in the funding of the purchase
of this property.
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
The taxes and maintenance for the property will be paid for by George M. Deane, John B.
McCarten and Joseph Pitincniuring the1'erm of1he1ease.

Receipt of a request from The Corporation of the Town of Markham
to provide a permanent easement for access to the Kingdom Hall
lands, located on the east side of McCowan Road, south of Highway
No.7, Town of Markham, Regional Municipality of York, CFN 29070.
Moved by: Case Ootes
Seconded by: Richard Whitehead
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS The Metropolitan Toronto
and Region Conservation Authority is in receipt of a request from The Corporation of the
Town of Markham to provide a permanent easement for access to the Kingdom Hall lands,
located on the east side of McCowan Road, south of Highway No.7, Town of Markham,
Regional Municipality of York;
AND WHEREAS if is in the opinion of the Authority that it is in the best interests of the
Authority in furthering its objectives, as set out in Section 20 of the Conservation
Authorities Act, to cooperate with The Corporation of the Town of Markham in this
instance;
THAT a permanent easement containing 0.12 hectares, more or less, (0.3 acres) be
granted to The Corporation of the Town of Markham for access to the Kingdom Hall
lands, said land being Part of Lot 9, Concession 7, Town of Markham, Regional
Municipality of York;
THAT consideration is to be $2.00 plus all legal, survey and other costs;
THAT the Corporation of the Town of Markham and Kingdom Hall be responsible for all
future maintenance and capital replacement of the driveway, indemnifying the Authority
and providing satisfactory public liability insurance;
AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take
whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of
necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
One of the conditions of the development of lands located between Kennedy Road and
McCowan Road, south of Highway No.7 in the Unionville area of the Town of Markham
was that the development group was required to provided a signalized intersection on
McCowan Road. A requirement of the Region of York was that the driveway to the
Authority's rental dwelling at 8225 McCowan be relocated approximately 30m to the
south to line up with the new intersection and the driveway to Camp Chimo which is on
lands owned by the Authority and managed by the Town of Markham, be relocated
approximately 25m north to line up with the new intersection.
December 12, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #10/97 8679
As the Region did not anticipate large volumes of traffic into the Kingdom Hall lands which
are located immediately south of Authority lands, their design of the intersection
shortened the centre island to accommodate a left turn access to the Kingdom Hall
property without changing the entrance. When the construction was under way Kingdom
Hall advised the Region that in fact large volumes of traffic enter their site in short periods
of time, mostly accessing from the north and making a left turn into the site. Kingdom
Hall was of the opinion that this could result in a dangerous situation.
To resolve this potential safety problem the Region is proposing that the Kingdom Hall
driveway be relocated northerly onto Authority land to intersect the driveway to Camp
Chimo and ultimately access onto McCowan Road at the new intersection. The Town of
Markham has agreed to assume an easement for the access road. The Town of Markham
and Kingdom Hall will be responsible for the maintenance of the road in the easement
area.
Authority technical staff have reviewed the technical details of the proposed construction
and are satisfied. A report regarding a permit under Ontario Regulation 158 for this
construction is also on this agenda for consideration by the Executive Committee.
A plan illustrating this location is attached.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
A portion of the subject Authority-owned lands are under a Management Agreement with
the Town of Markham and a portion are maintained by the Authority. The Town will
continue to be responsible for all maintenance and realty tax costs associated with the
portion of the property under agreement. The Authority will continue to be responsible for
realty taxes associated with other portion of the property.

BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #1/94 held on February 25, 1994, the members of the Authority
adopted Resolution #A 14/94:
"THA T two parcels of Authority owned tableland in the City of Brampton,
Regional Municipality of Peel, be declared as surplus to the requirements of

Part of Lot 2, Concession 8, Northern Division containing 56
acres, more or less.
THA T along with all existing municipal and provincial controls on the future

development plans to ensure the following:
(i) the proposed use is not contrary to Authority objectives
and does not negatively impact the Authority's
Claireville holdings;
8708 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #10/97 December 12, 1997
(ii) the protection of visual site lines from the valley bottom; i.e.,

The parcel of land identified as #1 above and located on the south east corner of Highway
#7 and Goreway Drive was approved for sale by the Authority and sold to Metrus

At Meeting #7/96 the Members of the Authority directed staff to develop a Management
Plan for the Claireville Conservation Area. The surplus parcel of land located on the west
side of the Eighth Line, north of Steeles Avenue was re-evaluated as part of the Claireville
Conservation Area Management Plan, which was approved by the Members of the
Authority at meeting #2/97, April 4, 1997. The Management Plan recommended the sale
of a parcel of land on the west side of the 8th Line, north of Steeles Avenue and reduced
the size of the parcel to just over 32 acres.

Tara Homes Inc. is proposing a residential development for the subject property which will
require an Official Plan Amendment and rezoning.

he is purchasing the entire site to ensure there will be similar type of uses compatible with
his use, on the remainder of the site.
Staff is reviewing these proposals with the Authority's solicitor and an independent
appraIser. Based on a preliminary review of these agreements there are a number of
conditions that are not satisfactory.
A plan illustrating this location is attached. Copies of the offers at hand are being
provided to the Members of the Executive Committee for information purposes, in a

RES. #8189/97 - A SHORT FORM OF THE NAME OF THE AUTHORITY
A short form of the name of The Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority.
Moved by: Case Ootes
Seconded by: Richard Whitehead
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the short form of the name of The
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority be Toronto and Region Conservation. . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #6/97 held on July 25, 1997 members approved a name change to
The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. At that meeting thE! members deferred a
decision on approving a short form of our name. As staff began to work through the
implementation it was concluded that a short form is required for ease of identification
and name recognition purposes.
RATIONALE
Currently, the short form of the name of the Authority is Metro Region Conservation. The
short form has been in use since the early 1990s. It was coined by staff who wanted a
friendlier identifier with the public and therefore moved away from the use of the word
Authority or the acronym MTRCA. At the same time other Conservation Authorities were
also moving to shorter, friendlier versions of their names.
The short form has served us well. It is easier for the public to associate with and to
recognize. It is easier for staff to use. We use the short form on our uniforms, our
brochures, voice mail and on signs within our property. The official version of our name
will be used on our letterhead and for all other official purposes.
In implementing our official name change for January 1, 1998, the lack of a short version
of our name may result in the loss of public recognition that has been carefully and
successfully built through this decade. For example, our official name does not fit on a
uniform arm flash. The acronym TRCA could be used but our past experience is that the
public does not relate easily to acronyms. The name Toronto and Region Conservation
does fit and provides continuity of recognition for the public.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The costs associated with the change of the name of the Authority are still being
reviewed but the expectation is that costs will be reasonable. Staff will do the work to
change our signs during this winter. Supplies of paper stock have been kept to a minimum
in expectation of the change so there will be little waste. Other changes such as vehicle
decals and uniforms will be changed over time.

find the design to be satisfactory for withstanding the pressures of wave uprush during
storm events.
Pollution:
Construction access will be from Len Ford Park and all equipment will work from the
property towards the lake. A snow fence will be erected along the limit of construction,
in order to ensure all heavy machinery will be restricted to the dry beach area currently
pres'ent.
Conservation of Land:
The properties are currently manicured lawns, with some sparse, woody vegetation
present. These works will not disturb the existing trees. All disturbed areas will be
stabilized with seed or sod following completion of the works.
Policy Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 4.2.2 (E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary
Structures - as well as the Provincial Great Lakes - St. Lawrence River Shoreline Policy
Statement.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
In order to facilitate the construction of a 23-lot plan of subdivision, an interim storm
water management pond is being constructed to control and treat runoff for water quality.
The pond will outfall to a tributary of the German Mills Creek that has been ditched along
Leyburn Avenue. Ultimately, and in compliance with the Elgin West Master Drainage Plan,
the pond will be eliminated and the storm runoff will be controlled and treated in
Pond GM3. This future, large on-line pond has received approval through the Authority's
Executive Committee but has not yet been constructed.
Control of Floodinq:
The works are not in the flood plain. The upstream drainage area is approximately 5.2 ha.
Post-development runoff from the site will be controlled to pre-development levels up to
the 1 OO-year storm.
Pollution:
Sediment fencing will be installed around the perimeter of the development site. The
outlet channel will be constructed under dry conditions and will be stabilized as quickly as
possible.
Conservation of Land:
There are no significant natural resource features on the site. Although there is a small
tributary of the German Mills Creek adjacent to this property, the flows and the
watercourse will be eliminated as the upstream area develops, in compliance with the
Elgin West Master Drainage Plan.

The purpose is to place fill to stabilize on-going valley and stream bank erosion and to
construct a wetland facility to treat water quality within the Fill Regulated Area of the East
Don River.

of North York - Public Works Department; dated and received December 10,
1997.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The initial proposal is to use bioengineering techniques to stabilize on-going valley and
stream bank erosion within the Moccasin Trail Park. This watercourse is a tributary of the
East Don River and is sourced through a storm sewer system supporting two existing
schools and a small residential area. This watercourse is located behind existing
residential dwellings and does not appear to be permanently flowing. Three residential
properties abutting the watercourse are experiencing extensive erosion. The works are to
stabilize the stream corridor and eliminate the erosion concerns at the rear of the affected
properties. The entire site is located within the Fill Regulated Area of the East Don River.
The instream and stream bank stabilization works are occurring on property owned by the
Municipality. These works involve the construction of weirs and plunge pools for flow
dissipation, the use of granular material to fill in the erosion scars and the planting of live
fascines within the riparian zone. A crushed stone construction access road will remain in
place and be converted into a nature trail following the completion of all works.
A site visit was conducted and the issue of water quality treatment was discussed.
Authority-owned lands exist downstream of this site and would be an ideal location for
creating a wetland for water quality treatment. The possibility exists to excavate a
portion of the Authority-owned lands, divert a portion of the watercourse through these
lands, and create an on-line wetland for water quality treatment. The excavated fill from
this site may be utilized in the erosion scars upstream. These discussions are still in the
preliminary stage and may not be feasible; however, approval is required at this time for
possible future construction.
Control of Floodinq:
The upstream drainage area is less than 125 ha. The works will not affect the
conveyance of flows.
Pollution:
Staff has determined that there are no fisheries concerns associated with this
watercourse. The proposed wetland will act as a silting basin during construction.
Q
B732 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #10/97 December 12, 1997
Conservation of Land:
Live fascines will be planted within the riparian area and will allow for the re-naturalization
of the watercourse. Once the construction is completed, native emergent and submergent
vegetation will be planted in the wetland.
Vortex weirs and plunge pools will also be constructed within the watercourse to decrease
the velocities of flow' currently present. This will allow for slope stabilization and aid in
allowing vegetation to establish within the riparian zone.
The 59 weirs are being constructed with river run stone and will be equally spaced along
the watercourse channel. Three plunge pools (one at each outfall structure) are also being
constructed throughout this reach.
Some granular fill will also be placed within the erosion scars along the stream bank. Live
fascines will be planted within this fill and will provide further stabilization of the
watercourse channel throughout this reach.
Policv Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing.

RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
To facilitate the development of the first phase of a residential plan of subdivision, the
applicant is proposing to construct a pond and outfall. The pond will be a wetland facility
for the treatment of the "first flush" for water quality.
Control of Floodinq:
In compliance with the storm water management report and the master environmental
servicing plan, the pond is not designed to control the quantity of runoff. Runoff will
empty directly into the Carruthers Creek Marsh and into Lake Ontario. The pond is not in
the flood plain and will not affect the control of flooding.
Pollution:
A sediment fence is to be installed around the pond site and along the outfall channel. In
addition, a check dam will be installed in the outfall channel and the pond will be used for
sediment control during the construction of the subdivision.
Conservation of Land:
Through the planning phase, an Environment Impact Statement was done which
determined a buffer appropriate for the protection of the provincially significant Carruthers
Creek Wetland and Environmentally Significant Area (ESA #113). It was agreed, through
discussions with the developer, municipality and Ministry of Natural Resources, that the
pond could be located within the buffer provided there was no loss of adjacent woody,
riparian vegetation. The site of the pond is currently a corn field and the significant
vegetation has been protected. At the closest point, the pond is 30 m from the edge of
the wetland.
A restoration planting plan forms part of the proposal. All disturbed areas will be seeded
and planted with native woody vegetation.

BACKGROUND
In December 1996, Greenland Engineering Group submitted an unsolicited proposal to a
number of conservation authorities and municipalities in Ontario, and undertook to
coordinate the pooling of resources necessary to fund the work outlined in the proposal.
The proposed work would involve research into cost-effective methods for removing and
disposing of sediments from stormwater quality control ponds and the preparation of a
final report with guidelines and recommendations. As a result of that distribution and
subsequent discussions with prospective participants, there was substantial support for
the need for this project and for an agency, such as the Authority, to provide an
administrative role.
It is proposed that the Authority and Greenland Engineering Group form a Steering
Committee to oversee the project's implementation. The Steering Committee membership
would include: one representative from each of the partners of the Storm water
Assessment Monitoring and Performance (SWAMP) Program, namely the Ministry of
Environment, Ministry of Transportation, and Environment Canada; one representative
from each of the municipalities that have expressed interest, namely, the Town of Ajax,
City of Brampton, City of Etobicoke, Town of Markham, City of Oshawa, and the Town of
Whitby; and one representative from the Urban Development Institute.
RATIONALE
In the near future, many municipalities will be faced with the need to remove and dispose
of accumulated sediments from stormwater management ponds, in order to ensure their
continued design operation. These maintenance activities represent a significant municipal
concern, due to uncertainty as to the required frequency, methods and procedures, and
cost. Maintenance frequency and costs have been estimated at about 5 years and
B738 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #10/97 December 12, 1997
$50,000 respectively, for sediment forebays alone. With increasing numbers of new
storm water management facilities and the age of existing ones requiring maintenance,
plus budget constraints faced by municipalities and other responsible agencies, this
concern is now becoming critical.
Monitoring results arising from the Stormwater Assessment Monitoring and Performance
(SWAMP) Program, of which the Authority is a partner, are beginning to provide
information that will assist in estimating maintenance frequencies and understanding
sediment quality. Preliminary results suggest that maintenance efforts for some ponds
may not be as extensive as previously thought. There is a need for a synthesis of other
available information and experience to date.
Greenland Engineering Group provides consulting services to the urban development
industry and has extensive experience in the design of stormwater management facilities.
They have the expertise and the ability to carry out this study. In addition to the study
scope and budget to be administered by the Authority, Greenland will provide additional
services, valued at $5000, funded by their successful application to a federal grant
program. Authority staff and the proposed partners are supportive of Greenland
undertaking the work, without going through a tender process, based on their expertise
and the cost-effectiveness of this proposed arrangement.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
A Terms of Reference for the study has been prepared. The study will determine current
sediment removal and disposal practices, the potential use of alternative technologies, will
document findings in the form of a final research report, and provide specific
recommendationslguidelines for maintaining current or future stormwater treatment
facilities. The report guidelines would also assist in the design of: new facilities, ongoing
preventative maintenance programs and other specific maintenance projects. Results of
the study will be published and presented at future seminars. The study should be
completed within a six month timeframe.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The study cost of $12,500 is to be funded by contributions from the study partners as
follows: MTRCA $1500; the Stormwater Assessment Monitoring and Performance
Program $ 5000; and $1000 from each of the municipalities that have shown interest,
namely the Town of Ajax, City of Brampton, City of Etobicoke, City of Oshawa, Town of
Markham, and Town of Whitby. Authority funding is available in account 115-30 and the
SWAMP Funding is available in account 121-30. One of the municipal contributions has
been received to date. The project will not proceed until all funding is in place.

THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
There is a considerable amount of history to the Authority's involvement with the Bolton
Arterial Roads Environmental Assessment beginning in the early 1980s. Previous staff
reports have been brought to the Authority regarding this issue, the most recent being to
the Watershed Management Advisory Board Meeting #5/97, June 20, 1997 and Executive
Committee Meeting #13/96, February 14, 1996. At that time significant concerns were
raised regarding impacts on the landform features and functions of the Humber River
watershed, as well as significant impacts on the management and operation of the
Authority's Bolton Resource Management Tract. As a result, the Authority resolved that
these components of the BARS project could not be supported.
As a first step towards seeking a resolution to this matter, the Province assigned a
facilitator through the Ministry of the Environment, and Authority staff participated in a
series of meetings with the Town of Caledon and others regarding a possible resolution to
the issues and concerns associated with the Bolton Arterial Roads Environmental
Assessment. These discussions have resulted in amendments to both the eastern and
western right-of-way alignments north of King Road in Bolton, which are to be presented
by the Town of Caledon to the public at an open house on December 10, 1997, and
subsequently considered by Town Council on December 15, 1997.
December 12, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #10/97 B741
Eastern Riqht-of-Wav Aliqnment
The eastern right-of-way alignment was originally proposed to cross the Cold Creek valley
through the Bolton Camp property, which in the opinion of Authority staff would have
resulted in unacceptable impacts to the form, features and functions of the area.
Based on concerns expressed by both the Authority and the Bolton Camp, and as a result
of the Ontario Municipal Board decision regarding proposed future development north of
Columbia Way, the Town of Caledon revisited the requirements for an eastern route and
determined that a high speed arterial route through this area is no longer required to
address long term travel demand.
In an attempt to resolve the issues raised by both the Authority and the Bolton Camp, the
Town reviewed a number of alternatives within the existing Columbia Way transportation
corridor between Mount Hope Road (8th. Line) and Townline Road. Three options were
considered, of which it was decided the reconstruction of Columbia Way within the
existing right-of-way would address both the long term transportation needs of the
municipality as well as the concerns of the Bolton Camp and the Authority.
The reconstruction of Columbia Way will predominantly maintain the existing alignment,
except for some grading improvements to address visibility and safety along an 'S' bend
going through the hamlet of Coventry. The existing bridge crossing of the Cold Creek will
also be reconstructed at the same location, however it will sit approximately 3 metres
higher than the current structure; this bridge was scheduled for rehabilitation by the Town
in 1998 notwithstanding the current amendment proposed by the Town.
Authority staff have assessed the proposed amendment to the eastern right-of-way
alignment and are able to support it. For the most part impacts will be contained to the
existing Columbia Way right-of-way, and the reconstruction of the Cold Creek crossing
will be an improvement over the existing crossing. Measures to ensure the protection and
enhancement of the form, features and functions of the Cold Creek valley can be
addressed through the detailed design stage as part of any permit submissions pursuant to
Ontario Regulation 158.
Western Riqht-of-Wav Aliqnment
It is Authority staff's understanding that the proposed amendment to the eastern right-of-
way corridor commits the Town of Caledon to a western by-pass. Although Authority
staff are prepared to support the amended eastern right-of-way alignment, we have not
had an opportunity to fully assess the amended alignment for the western right-of-way as
it affects the management and operation of the Authority's Bolton Resource Management
Tract.
B742 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #10/97 December 12, 1997
As such, the Town of Caledon should be aware that notwithstanding any approval of the
eastern right-of-way alignment, it does not preclude the Authority from not accepting
proposals to the western right-of-way alignment at this time. Staff will complete its
review and report back on this matter once Town Council adopt the amended western
right-of-way alignment as their preferred alternative.

waste water treatment facility for the Kortright Centre;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to award the implementation of the contract in
phases to coincide with available funding. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Meeting #10/97, held November 28, 1997, the Authority adopted Resolution #260/97
with one of the recommendations being:
"THA T staff be authorized to solicit formal proposals for the
design and installation of a biological waste water treatment
facility"
Recently the Kortright Centre has experienced difficulties with its existing septic system.
During peak attendance, high sewage volumes require that the septic tank be frequently
pumped out to lessen the load on the aging and inefficient tile bed. Even then the tile bed
is not always able to process the higher volume of grey water and sometimes water ponds
on the ground above the bed.
In order to address ongoing maintenance issues as well as concerns from York Region
health officials, staff at Kortright began to look into replacing the existing system with a
non-conventional waste water treatment facility. Earlier this year staff had exploratory
discussions with a number of environmental companies capable of designing, installing
and commissioning biological waste water treatment facilities. These discussions were
undertaken with the understanding that should project funding and Board approvals be
forthcoming, formal proposals would be solicited by the Authority.
December 12, 1997 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #10/97 B743
On December 1, 1997, a request for proposals for the design and installation of this
treatment system was distributed to the three firms that staff had initiated exploratory
discussions with. The firms are:
EcoWerks Technologies Corporation
Icon Systems Limited
Living Technologies
Proposals are due on December 15, 1997.
The work will be divided into four discrete components:
1 . System Requirements
2. System Design
3. Equipment Purchase, Installation and Commissioning; and,
4. System Operations.
System Requirements
The goal of this component is to complete a thorough waste characterization, establish
the basis of design, identify and size the process components, and define the basic layout
of the treatment system. The preliminary engineering will be undertaken in consultation,
not only with the architect, but also with the regulatory agencies in order to a~quire the
necessary approvals.
System Desiqn
Upon approval of the preliminary system design, the final engineering will be initiated to
produce the drawings and specifications necessary for the installation of the treatment
system.
Equioment Purchase, Installation and Commissioninq
All components of the treatment system will be purchased, installed and made operational
according to design specifications.
System Ooerations
On site training will be provided to allow MTRCA staff to operate the treatment system.
RATIONALE
Kortright staff had been exploring the advantages of the Living Machine technology, as a
replacement for the Centre's aging septic system, for the last year. The technology offers
an exciting alternative to a standard below ground septic system.
The reduction of water flow, from the recycling process, will reduce water usage at the
Centre by more than 50%. This will dramatically reduce the load on the Centre's well and
prolong the life of the existing tile bed. During times of heavy visitation water pressure to
the Centre and the capacity of the tile bed have been a matter of concern.
The addition of the living machine building will provide not only access to the living
machine process but offer a unique setting for environmental studies in general. It's
unique design will offer a pleasant tropical setting, even in the depths of winter, that is
completely self sufficient. The addition of this new teaching space will allow for
additional revenue activities and programs.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The work will be phased to coincide with the availability of funding. At this time funds
are available in account number 408-10- 343 to undertake the System Requirements and
System Design work components.

SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION
RES. #8198/97 - CHANGE IN AUTHORITY ANNUAL MEETING DATE
Recommended Change in the Timing of Future Annual Meetings
The Authority's Annual Meeting has traditionally been held at the end
of February. It is recommended that the date of the Annual meeting
be moved back to avoid the long delay in having newly appointed
members assume their responsibilities at the Authority.
Moved by: Maria Augimeri
Seconded by: Case Ootes
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Authority's Annual Meeting for
1999, be held on January 29, 1999 and that all subsequent Annual Meetings be held at
the end of January; and
THAT the appended revised 1998/99 Meeting Schedule, dated January 16, 1997, be
approved and that staff notify the appropriate officials. ................. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Authority has traditionally held its Annual Meeting at the end of February. This is
normally not a problem except in those years where there has been a municipal election.
The problem being that the new Councils have appointed their representatives to the
Authority but they can not assume their Authority responsibilities until the Annual
Meeting. This leaves a period of from two months to three months, depending on when
the appointments are made, where the Authority business continues with the existing
members. This is a very awkward time for those members who have not been
reappointed or did not run for re-election or were not re-elected.
In order to improve this situation and to provide sufficient time to our municipalities to
make their appointments, I am recommending we change the date for the Annual Meeting
from the end of February to the end of January. There are no legal impediments to doing
this.
This change would result in the1999 Annual Meeting being held on January 29, 1999.
This change will require an amendment to the previously adopted meeting schedule. It is
also recommended that in order to reduce the agenda for the Annual Meeting that the
meeting schedule also be amended by eliminating the December 18, 1998 Authority
meeting and moving this meeting to January 8, 1999. The Public Use Board meeting
scheduled for January 8, 1999 would then be moved to the December 18, 1998 time
slot.
The revised meeting schedule is attached and is recommended for approval.

THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO 1995-
1999
Port Union Concept Site - Shoreline Improvements
(Highland Creek to Rouge River) - Consultant Contract
To extend the Totten Sims Hubicki and Associates contract for their
consultant component of the Port Union Shoreline Improvements
Study - Highland Creek to Rouge River.
Moved by: Maria Augimeri
Seconded by: Case Ootes
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS TO THE AUTHORITY THAT the Totten Sims Hubicki and
Associates contract for their consultant component of the Shoreli,ne Improvements Study -
Highland Creek to Rouge River - be extended by a further $12,500 excluding GST,
bringing the total consultant contract cost to $20,000 excluding GST. . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Executive meeting #6/97 held on August 8, 1997, Resolution #B113/97 was adopted:
"THA T the firm of Shoreplan Engineering Limited be retained to undertake
the Shoreline Improvements Study - Highland Creek to Rouge River at an
upset cost of $44,000 excluding G.S. T.
AND FURTHER THA T the firm of Totten Sims Hubicki and Associates be
retained as part of the consulting team to undertake the public amenity
design of the Shoreline Improvements Study - Highland Creek to Rouge
River at a cost of $ 7500 excluding G. S. T. "
The work to be undertaken by Shoreplan Engineering Limited was the detailed coastal
engineering analysis and did not include provision for the public process required under the
Environmental Assessment Act. Similarly, the retention of Totten Sims Hubicki at a cost
of $7,500 was based upon the work required under the Terms of Reference for the public
amenity design only. At that time Authority staff had not detailed the consultant
requirements for full public consultation as required under the Environmental Assessment
Act. In finalizing the public consultation process, staff have incorporated a total of four
(4) public meetings and arranged to have Totten Sims Hubicki co-ordinate the public
meeting preparation and provide a multi-media presentation.
RATIONALE
The extension of the Totten Sims Hubicki and Associates contract is necessary in order to
fulfill the Ministry of Environment requirements under the Environmental Assessment Act
for the Port Union Shoreline Improvements Project.
January 16, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #11/97 8754
Two public meetings have already been held to discuss the Project with interested
members of the public and to identify all concerns and issues regarding the Project and the
Environmental Assessment Terms of Reference. As required under the Environmental
Assessment process two more public meetings will be held to allow the public to
comment on the alternatives to the undertaking and the preferred alternative designs, and
to comment on the Environmental Assessment Study.
Totten Sims Hubicki and Associates did an excellent multi-media presentation at the two
public meetings already held, and will be required to assist with the preparation,
production and presentation of the two upcoming public open houses, at a cost of $2000
per meeting. The total public consultation costs will be $8000. Further consultation on
the design on shoreline alternatives for the Environmental Assessment is also required at
an estimated cost of $4500. These costs are based on a letter quotation from the
consultant.
DET AILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The additional two public meetings will be held by the end of April, 1998, and further
consultation on the Environmental Assessment will be completed as currently scheduled
by June, 1998.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The additional $12,500 expenditure for this consultant contract extension is provided
within Account #223-10.

the East Don River), in the City of Toronto (North York), Don River
Watershed as located on property owned by MTRCA.
8773 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #11/97 January 16, 1998
The purpose is to place fill for a permanent access road to service existing manholes along
the Newtonbrook Sanitary Trunk Sewer, within the Regional Storm flood plain and Fill
Regulated Area of the Newtonbrook Creek.
The permit will be issued for the period of January 16, 1998 to January 15, 2000 in
accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
( 1 ) Plans; prepared by Metro Works; Drawing 97-466-1 dated August 1996; received

18, 1997.
(2) Silt Fence Installation Detail Drawing; received December 18, 1997.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal consists of placing granular fill material for a proposed permanent access
road to service a section of the Newtonbrook Sanitary Trunk Sewer. The new access
road will follow the route of an existing informal trail. The new road will also formalize
the valley trail which has been approved by Metro Parks and Culture who maintain these
Authority-owned lands. The entire site is located within the Fill Regulated Area and
Regional Storm flood plain of the Newtonbrook Creek.
Control of Floodinq:
The proposed access road will match existing grades for the most part; however, some
existing depressions along the route will be raised slightly (ie. 20 centimetres above
grade). Staff has determined that the new access road will not adversely impact flooding
within the Regional Storm flood plain.
Pollution:
Silt fencing will be installed at various locations along the access road where construction
will occur close to the Newtonbrook Creek (ie. :t 5 metres away from the channel).
Conservation of Land:
The route of the new access road has been carefully selected to minimize impacts on the
existing vegetation community. Authority and Metro staff have confirmed the route on-
site, in consultation with the local community. Native plant material will rehabilitate
disturbance within the riparian zone along the creek. The shoulders of the granular road
will be revegetated with a native seed mixture.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's
Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

To alter a watercourse on 400/407 Interchange in the City of Vaughan,
Humber River Watershed as located on property owned by same.
The purpose is to construct an outfall structure from a proposed water quality/quantity
control facility.
The permit will be issued for the period of January 16, 1998 to January 15, 2003.
. Letter of Undertaking submitted by G.M. Sernas & Associates Ltd.; dated
January 12, 1998; received January 13, 1998.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
A stormwater quality/quantity treatment pond with an outfall structure is being
constructed adjacent to Slack Creek. The pond and outfall structure are to support a
proposed entertainment and retail complex.
8775 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #11/97 January 16, 1998
The pond has been designed to provide 2 through 100 year quantity and quality control.
An emergency spillway has been incorporated into the pond design in order to manage
flows beyond the 100 year pond level. The emergency spillway will tie into an existing rip
rap area along the watercourse channel.
This watercourse is assumed to be a Type 2 fishery habitat system; however, currently
Slack Creek supports no fish habitat. Dry (active) storage will be provided and will be
released over approximately 36 hours through the use of a restrictor pipe. A wetland will
provide permanent storage. This design will provide the necessary quality and quantity
control to achieve Level 2 treatment.
The pond slopes have been designed to have a maximum 4H: 1 Vangie. This will
maximize the storage capacity, and create the correct habitat for wetland development.
The headwall has been angled with the flow. The headwall will be located as far away
from the watercourse as possible. A rip rap channel will connect the headwall to the
watercourse.
Control of Floodinq:
Minor grading is occurring within the Regional Storm flood plain. Authority technical staff
are satisfied that the grading will not affect the control of flooding.
Pollution:
A sediment fence is being constructed between the storm water pond and the
watercourse. Temporary rockfill check dams are also being constructed around the
perimeter of all catchbasins in order to trap some sediment during the construction
process.
Conservation of Land:
The existing watercourse has been channelized throughout this reach and there is little, if
any, riparian habitat present. These works will occur outside of the riparian zone except
for the headwall and rip rap channel.
The site will be stabilized with seed or sod following the completion of all works. The
storm water pond is being planted with native woody species and native aquatic species.
Policy Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program, Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing.

To place fill within a regulated area on Part Lot 12, Concession 8, (east side
of Highway 27, north of Langstaff Road), in the City of Vaughan, Humber
River Watershed as located on property owned by same and MTRCA.
The purpose is to place fill for lot grading and construct an outfall channel in conjunction
with the development of a residential subdivision (19T-92001), within the Fill Regulated
Area of the Robinson Creek.
The permit will be issued for the period of January 16, 1998 to January 15, 2003.
Letter of Undertaking from Mr. Guido Gaggioli, President, Hig~way 27 - Langstaff
Holdings Inc.; dated and received January 12, 1998.
RA TIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal consists of placing fill material for lot grading and constructing an outfall
channel to the Robinson Creek. The proposed works are part of the development of a
residential subdivision (File 19T-92001). The storm sewer headwall will be located on the
Robinson Creek valley floor, outside the Regional Storm flood plain. The applicant is
presently making arrangements to obtain temporary (ie. construction) and permanent (ie.
maintenance) easements, since the headwall and outfall channel will be located on
Authority-owned lands. The perimeter of the tablelands is located within the Fill
Regulated Area.
Control of Floodinq:
Only the downstream end of the proposed outfall channel will be located within the
Regional Storm flood plain. All existing grades within the flood plain will be maintained;
lot grading on the tableland portion of the site is also situated above the Regional Storm
flood plain. In regards to the proposed storm drainage scheme, post development flows
will match pre-development runoff for the 2 through 10 year storm events and will include
water quality control (ie. 25 millimetre detention for 24 hours).
Pollution:
A combination of silt fencing, rock check dams and catchbasin sediment traps will control
sedimentation during construction.
Conservation of Land:
No fill placement will occur beyond the previously established (and approved) top-of-bank
of the adjacent well-defined, stable valley wall. The disturbed area around the storm
sewer headwall and outfall channel will be rehabilitated with native trees, shrubs, and
herbaceous plant species for added erosion control, as well as to enhance water quality
and terrestrial habitat.
8777 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #11/97 January 16, 1998

8783 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #11/97 January 16, 1998
Proposal:
The applicant proposes to construct a storm sewer outfall system outletting into
Dunbarton Creek. The works involve the construction of a headwall located
approximately 21 metres from the watercourse. A riverstone channel is also being
constructedfrom the headwall to the watercourse.
The outfall channel is designed to act as a stilling/sedimentation basin with an overflow
channel. The overflow channel matches the invert of the creek and is approximately 4
metres in length. A 1 metre wide riverstone channel is located at the bottom of the
stilling/sedimentation basin. Its purpose is to maximize the storage capacity of the basin
as well as direct flow towards the watercourse. The angle of the stilling/sedimentation
basin side slopes is designed to be a maximum 3H: 1 V.
Control of Flooding:
The outfall will be located along a channelized portion of Dunbarton Creek. The grades of
the overflow channel will match the existing invert of the creek and will not affect the
control of flooding.
Pollution:
A stormceptor is being installed between the final manhole and the headwall. Catchbasin
siltation traps are also being used on all catch basins tied into the headwall. A sediment
fence is also being erected around the perimeter of the construction site and outfall
structure
Conservation of Land:
The disturbed lands around the outfall will be stabilized with seed or sod and enhanced
through the planting of native woody species.
Policy Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Managment
Program, Section 4.3 - Infrastructure & Servicing

ANAL YSIS
As described in the staff report dated 1998.01.05, eight consulting firms were invited to
bid on this Pollution Prevention Handbook project. Three teams submitted proposals, as
follows:
1 . XCG Consultants Limited and Gartner Lee Limited $58,348 +GST
2. Totten Sims Hubicki Associates/Don Weatherbe and
Associates $53,280 + GST
3. CH2M Gore & Storrie Limited $50,880 +GST
The consultant selection committee recommended that the team of Totten Sims Hubicki
Associates and Don Weatherbe and Associates best met the evaluation criteria set out in
the original staff report.
BACKGROUND
Under a Memorandum of Agreement between the Authority and the Ontario Ministry of
the Environment, covering the period December 3, 1997 to October 31, 1998, the
Authority agreed to provide administrative and accounting services and to hire consulting
services for the development of a pollution prevention handbook. The main objectives of
the handbook are:
. to document available pollution prevention technologies, practices, or programs,
the extent of successful implementation and the factors that contributed to their
success or failure;
. to develop practical guidance on technical and implementation aspects of each type
of pollution prevention practice or program for use by municipalities; and
. to encourage implementation of pollution prevention and flow reduction programs
and increase homeowner participation in these programs.
8785 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #11/97 January 16, 1998
The handbook is intended to provide practical assistance to municipalities in implementing
pollution prevention and flow reduction programs related to stormwater runoff and
combined sewer overflows. A Project Steering Committee includes representatives from
the Authority, the Ministry and several municipalities.
RATIONALE
The handbook will emphasize the prevention of pollution at source, thereby filling gaps in
existing provincial guidelines. Previous municipal pollution prevention and control planning
studies have not emphasized the prevention of pollution at source to the same degree,
possibly due to insufficient experience with the programs and practices and perceptions of
inconvenience by homeowners. The Ministry's new Procedure F-5-5, a policy for
controlling combined sewer overflows, requires that municipalities establish pollution
prevention programs. The Metro Toronto RAP, Forty Steps to a New Don, and Legacy: A
Strategy for a Healthy Humber all advocate the need for pollution prevention and
stormwater flow reduction at source.
In consideration of the range of expertise required and the time constraints of agency
staff, consulting services were deemed necessary. A detailed terms of reference has been
prepared. The key roles of the consultant will be to review and document related
experience from other jurisdictions, develop community-based social marketing and public

RES. #B209/97 - ONTARIO REGULATION 158, FILL, CONSTRUCTION AND
ALTERATION TO WATERWAY PERMITS
Recommended Changes to TRCA Permit Document and Approval
Stamp. Staff is recommending several changes to the existing
Ontario Regulation 158, Fill, Construction and Alteration to
Waterway permit document and approval stamp to improve clarity
and efficiency.
Moved by: Maria Augimeri
Seconded by: Richard Whitehead
THA T the proposed changes to The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)
Ontario Regulation 158, Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterway permit document
and approval stamp be approved and implemented;
AND FURTHER THAT TRCA clients be informed of these changes. . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
When approvals pursuant to TRCA Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterway
Regulations (O.R. 158) are granted by the Executive Committee, formal permits are issued
to applicants. The permit document sets out the specifics of the Executive Committee's
approval ego applicant, location, purpose, duration of approval, notes and stipulations,
etc.. The permit also lists the specific documents and plans that were approved and
which form part of the permit. These documents and plans are also "stamped approved".
The permit document itself and each document/plan that forms part of the permit is
authorized (signed) by a TRCA Enforcement Officer. The applicant receives two complete
permits and one complete set is retained for Authority records.
The permit document and approval stamp was developed in consultation with TRCA
solicitors and was adopted several years ago. Since then, only minor changes have been
made, but over the last two years, staff identified various opportunities for more
substantive improvements. Staff would like to implement these improvements to our
permit document and stamp in concert with the changes necessary to reflect our new
corporate name.
RATIONALE
The recommended changes to our Ontario Regulation 158, Fill, Construction and
Alteration to Waterway permits are presented and discussed, below. The current and the
proposed permit documents and approval stamps are attached for reference.
Stipulations
We currently set out five stipulations of approval. Some are noted on the permit
document and others are noted on the "approval stamp". Staff has consolidated this list
of stipulations on the back of the permit document and has expanded the list to identify
and emphasize responsibility for sediment control, construction notification, and federal
and provincial fisheries requirements. TRCA permit revision and renewal procedures have
January 16, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #11/97 8788
been added. A general notice regarding the Freedom of Information Act has also been
added as is required by legislation.
"Approval Stamp"
The existing "approval stamp" is problematic for several reasons:
. The wording of the approval is combined with a disclaimer ( Approved - Concept
Only) which has from time to time resulted in some confusion as to whether the
documents and/or plans have received final approval or not.
. The stamp is large making it difficult to find space on the documents/plans.
. Each document/plan has to be stamped twice (text, date).
. Each document/plan has to be signed by an Enforcement Officer.
The proposed approval stamp makes it clear that the document/plan has been approved by
the Executive Committee. The disclaimer has been relocated to the permit document as
have the stipulations. Rather than sign every document/plan, the approval stamp notes
that the approval is valid only if accompanied by the signed permit document. A rolling
date stamp has been incorporated so that each document/plan is stamped once.
Permit Document
The major change to the permit document is the consolidation and expansion of
stipulations on the reverse as discussed above. The graphic presentation has been
improved. The balance of the information essentially remains the same. The permit
document requires authorization by a TRCA Enforcement Officer.
SUMMARY
The proposed changes to the permit document and approval stamp have been discussed
and finalized with the Authority's solicitors. Staff believes that these changes will reduce
the administrative effort currently spent and will make the TRCA approval specifications
clearer to applicants, contractors and other approval authorities that rely on this
information.
It is recommended that the changes to the Ontario Regulation 158, Fill, Construction and
Alteration to Waterway permit document and approval stamp be approved and
implemented and that TRCA clients be informed of these changes.

BACKGROUND
The Ontario Municipal Board Hearing in this area, which concluded on July 7, 1995,
assisted in resolving a number of longstanding development issues, with respect to the
former Lakeshore Hospital lands owned by Management Board Secretariat and the adjacent
Humber College lands. In addition to facilitating the future extension of Kipling Avenue, the
demand for regional openspace and institutional uses were acknowledged.
February 13, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #12/97 8805
The development concept for this area accommodates Community College and Health Care
uses, but recognizes that other public facilities may be added. It also provides for the
expansion of the Humber College Lakeshore Campus through renovation and new
construction into the historic quadrangle of former hospital buildings.
The Authority's technical staff have reviewed the storm water management report and are
satisfied that the location, design and maintenance access has been configured in
accordance with the requirements of Parks, Works and TRCA staff. Prior to commencing
construction The City of Toronto will be required to obtain a permit under Ontario
Regulation 1 58 from the Authority.
The City of Toronto has conveyed lands to the Authority over the years for the nominal
consideration of $2.00 and has requested that this easement be granted for the nominal
consideration of $2.00. The City of Toronto has agreed to assume all legal, survey and
other costs involved in completing the transaction.
A plan illustrating this location is attached.
ANAL YSIS
The construction of this storm water management facility will facilitate the development of
the Management Board Secretariat of the Province of Ontario and The Board of Governors
of The Humber College of Applied Arts and Technology lands and provide the appropriate
storm water quality control, in accordance with the municipality's standards.
FINANCIAL IMPUCA TIONS
The subject Authority-owned lands are under a Management Agreement with The City of
Toronto. The City of Toronto will continue to be responsible for all maintenance and realty
tax costs associated with this property.

8808 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #12/97 February 13, 1998
RES #821 5/97 - STATUTORY BORROWING RESOLUTION- 1998
The Authority's Rules of Conduct require approval annually of a
resolution to provide for borrowing of funds, if necessary.
Moved by: Lois Hancey
Seconded by: Lois Griffin
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Authority may borrow from the
Royal Bank of Canada, or the Authority's member municipalities or other institutions as may
be specifically approved by the Authority, up to the sum of TEN MILLION DOLLARS
($10,000,000) on the promissory note or notes of the Authority until payment to the
Authority of any grants and of sums to be paid to the Authority by participating
municipalities designated as such under the Conservation Authorities Act R.S.O. 1990,
Chapter 27, at such rate of interest as the Minister of Natural Resources approves;
THAT the amount borrowed pursuant to this resolution, together with interest, be a charge
upon the whole of the monies received or to be received by the Authority by way of grants,
etc., and when such monies are received, and of sums received or to be received by the
Authority from the participating municipalities, as and when such monies are received;
AND FURTHER THAT the signing officers of the Authority are hereby authorized to take
such action as may be necessary to give effect thereto. .................. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Authority's Rules of Conduct, Section XVIII, Banking and Borrowing, require that the
borrowing of money by the Authority shall be authorized by a resolution of the Authority.
At each annual meeting, a resolution is presented to authorize borrowing for the coming
year.
The Authority's borrowing resolution provides that the Authority may borrow up to
$10 million. This amount is necessary in the event that certain land acquisitions proceed
prior to the actual receipt of funding from the Authority's funding partners. On a day-to-day
basis, the Authority borrows infrequently and usually in amounts less than $100,000 for
periods of one or two days only.
The Authority entered into a banking agreement with the Royal Bank of Canada which was
effective September, 1995.
The terms and conditions of the five year agreement provided that the Royal Bank was
entitled to increase its fees to the Authority after the third year of the agreement. There
has been no increase in fees by the Royal Bank since the agreement was entered into.

In accordance with the provisions of Resolution #A99/96, and as outlined in the staff report
regarding the disposal process adopted by the Executive Committee at Meeting # 12/96,
held on January 10, 1997, under Resolution #B205/96, staff in consultation with the
Authority's solicitor and an independent appraiser has initiated the disposal process as
follows:
The priority of potential purchasers be:
1 ) Former owners (Phase I)
2) Tenants (Phase I)
3) Remaining Private Owners situate within the amended boundary which
included abutting property owners (Phase II)
4) General public (Phase III)
The former owners were either contacted directly if an address could be found or best
efforts were made to contact them through the solicitor who acted on their behalf at the
time of the purchase by the Authority. None of the former owners that we were able to
contact has expressed interest in repurchasing their former property. Five tenants were
contacted and three of them expressed an interest in acquiring the property. The Authority
approved the sale of 531 Rodd Avenue at Meeting #4/97, held on May 30, 1997 and the
sale of 554 Rodd Avenue at Meeting # 5/97, held on June 27, 1997.
Phase II of our disposal process required the Authority to offer the remaining surplus
properties for purchase at current market value to the private property owners, situate
within the amended acquisition boundary. The Authority advised the private owners within
the amended boundary about the availability of our surplus lands, excluding the three
properties of interest to our tenants, by letter on March 13, 1997. After we were unable to
reach agreement with one of the tenants, we further advised the private property owners
that 556 Rodd Avenue was also available.
The Authority received written notice of interest from two private owners and a verbal
inquiry from another owner in the area who eventually withdrew. The Authority approved
the sale of a vacant lot adjacent to 537 Rodd Avenue, to Siragusa the owners of 537 Rodd
Avenue at Meeting #9/97 held on October 31, 1997. The Authority approved a land
exchange, involving 5 vacant lots with the owners of 541 Rodd Avenue at Meeting # 10/97,
held on October 31, 1997. The agreements are all in accordance with the appraised value
of an independent evaluation obtained by the Authority.
February 13, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #12/97 8827
During the past few weeks, two residents within the Project boundary have expressed
concern regarding the process followed to date and as to whether the land exchange
approved at Meeting #10/97 is fair and equitable. Staff has met with the two residents and
Pickering elected officials to discuss the concerns of the two residents. Pickering officials
remain staisfied that the process for disposal is fair and equitable.
The three remaining surplus properties; 527, 529 and 556 Rodd Avenue in compliance with
Phase 3 of the disposal process are now being advertised for sale to the general public.

RES. #8220/97 - PAPER SUPPLIES TENDER - 1998
This report advises on the results of the paper quotations received by
the Authority, as part of Tender Opening Sub-Committee Report
#12/97, opened prior to Executive Meeting #11/97.
Moved by: Lois Hancey
Seconded by: Lois Griffin
THAT the report dated January 16, 1998, on paper quotations be received and that the
quotation from Coast Paper be accepted, it being the lowest quotation that met
specifications . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Authority annually purchases between $30,000 and $40,000 worth of paper supplies.
The value of the contract is over $25,000 and pursuant to the purchasing policy, must be
approved by the Executive Committee.
ANALYSIS
The following companies were contacted for supply of paper to the Authority:
Buntin Reid
Coast Papers
Graphic Papers
Unisource Ltd.
Pricing was received from 2 companies only: Unisource and Coast Papers.
The Authority uses a wide variety of paper sizes and stock. For purposes of evaluating
values on the tender, the pricing for 8 % x 11 was identified, it being the largest volume
purchased.
Staff evaluated both bids. Coast Paper's bid of $6.80 was accepted, it being lower than
the Unisource bid of $6.95. The detailed bid results are available if Members wish to review
them.
The contract is open ended which allows the Authority to re-tender or move to other
suppliers if price, quality or service warrant a change.
Staff will continue to monitor opportunities to participate with members municipalities in the
purchase of paper products.

RES #8221/97- HARBOUR VIEW INVESTMENTS LIMITED, TOWN OF CALEDON
Referrals to the Ontario Municipal Board
Authorization for staff to represent Authority interests before the
Ontario Municipal Board Hearing on a referral related to a proposed
plan of subdivision, zoning by-law amendment and official plan
amendment by Harbour View Investments Limited in the Town of
Caledon. The applicant has also appealed certain policies of the
Official Plan for the Town of Caledon and Region of Peel as they apply
to the subject lands.
Moved by: Richard Whitehead
Seconded by: Lois Hancey
THAT staff be authorized to represent Authority interests before the Ontario Municipal
Board Hearing on the referrals by Harbour View Investments Limited;
THAT staff be directed to retain the firm of Gardiner, Roberts to provide legal representation
with respect to these matters or to make suitable arrangements with the Town of Caledon
to share their legal counsel, depending on which option provides the Authority with the
strongest and most cost effective representation;
THA T staff continue to pursue the resolution of Authority issues in cooperation with
relevant parties and/or participants prior to the Hearing;
AND FURTHER THAT the Town of Caledon and The Regional Municipality of Peel be so
advised. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Harbour View Investments Limited lands comprise approximately 10 hectares of land
within the Bolton South Hill Community in the Town of Caledon. The lands are situated on
the south slope of the Humber River valley, south of Old King Road and west of the 8th.
Line (Attachment 1). The property is legally described as Part of Lots 6 & 7, Concession 8
(Albion).
There is a considerable amount of planning history to the Harbour View Investments Limited
property. In the early 1980s a residential draft plan of subdivision was submitted for an
approximate 49 hectare parcel of land known as Sant Farm, which included the lands
subject to this upcoming Ontario Municipal Board Hearing. Through staff's involvement in
the review and approval of the Sant Farm application, the valley slope of the Humber River
was identified (top-of-bank/toe-of-slope) for protection and future conveyance to either the
Town of Caledon or the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. The development was
draft approved by the Region of Peel in 1992, and a condition of draft approval was
included addressing the future conveyance of the valley lands.
8832 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #12/97 February 13, 1998
The parcel of land subject to this upcoming Ontario Municipal Board Hearing constitutes the
south slope of the Humber River valley which had been identified through the review and
approval of the larger draft plan of subdivision. The larger draft plan of subdivision has
been registering in phases, and the conveyance of the valley slope has not occurred since
the final phase has yet to be registered. The owner has now chosen to pursue a 24 lot
development proposal for 1.7 hectares of these lands, with the balance of the lands
(approximately 8.5 hectares) remaining as open space/hazard land for dedication to either
the Town or the TRCA.
This referral originally formed part of the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing regarding the
Town of Caledon Official Plan (OPA 114/124) ; at the applicant's request, it was hived out
of the hearing to be dealt with separately. Authority staff had previously reported on this
matter at that time, however given the time lapse a further report was considered
appropriate.
The Ontario Municipal Board Hearing for the Harbour View Investment Lands is scheduled to
commence on March 31, 1998; 17 days have been set aside to deal with this matter.
RA TIONALE
The Harbour View Investments property is almost entirely situated on the valley side slope
of the Humber River. The lands are regulated pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158, and
permits will be required from the Authority for any works within the regulated area. The
lands are currently zoned Hazard (HL) in the Town of Caledon Zoning By-law 87-250, and
are proposed to be designated Environmental Policy Area (EPA) in the Town's Official Plan.
Given the location of the Bolton community, development has historically occurred within
the valley, both on the slopes and on the valley floor, including the flood plain. Recent
development on the valley slope has been limited to replacement structures and infill
development in accordance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program.
The Harbour View Investments proposal entails an engineered solution to developing on the
slope. A ridge traverses the length of the slope, ranging in elevations between 220 to 250
metres; overall, the slope height from toe-of-slope to top-of-bank is approximately 15
metres. The proposed development will result in the removal of up to 6 metres from the
crest of the ridge to reduce the overall slope height and create tableland; the excavated fill
would then be placed along the slope and used as fill in the rear yards and to support the
proposed road.
As noted by staff, almost the entire parcel of land f.orms part of the Humber River valley
side slope. The introduction of risk where none currently exists in the form of a new
multi-lot development is not supported by the Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program. Ensuring both on-going and proper maintenance of active engineering works and
preventing possible alterations to the slope configuration in the future are almost impossible
to control; for this reason, our Authority has taken a passive erosion control approach which
consists of providing sufficient buffers, setbacks and no-development zones, so that minor
changes do not significantly alter property values or threaten the stability or use of adjacent
structures or lands. Passive measures also preserve the character of the valley land and do
not require cutting of trees, placing of fill or disturbance and alteration of the landform
which are proposed by the Harbour View Investments Limited application.
February 13, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #12/97 8833
Although this matter has not gone forward to Council at the Town of Caledon for their
direction, it has previously gone to public meeting and Council has expressed serious
concerns with the proposal.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
As noted earlier in this report the Ontario Municipal Board has set aside 17 days for this
Hearing. Recent discussions amongst legal counsel for the Town and the proponent believe
this estimate to be liberal, and expect the hearing will most likely last between 10 to 12
days. Taking into account legal costs and the retention of expert witnesses, staff estimate
the cost of this hearing to be in the order of $40,000 to $45,000. There may be an
opportunity to further off-set these costs through the sharing of legal counsel and/or expert
witnesses with the Town of Caledon.
CONCLUSION
Based on the rationale and explanation noted above, it is recommended that staff be
authorized to represent Authority interests before the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing on
the referrals by Harbour View Investments Limited. Authority staff should advise the Town
of Caledon and the Regional Municipality of Peel, and continue to pursue the resolution of
issues with the relevant parties.
