March 6, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #1198 83
RA TIONAlE
The subject property falls within the Authority's approved master plan for acquisition, is
adjacent to other Authority owned lands and the property is at risk from erosion. Erosion
control works were carried out along this reach of the Humber River in 1986. In this case
the design approach taken was typical of the Authority's approach for addressing the
erosion coincident with the valley slopes or along the Scarborough Bluffs se'ctor of the lake
Ontario Shoreline. The erosion control works provided for protection at the bottom of the
slope and allowed 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 for these types of erosion problems. 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. At this site, it was recognized
that 19 Fairglen Crescent would eventually need to be acquired.
Also, it is one of the parcels of land that the City of Toronto (formerly Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto), Parks and Culture Department, identified as being critical to their
open space needs and requested the Authority to attempt to acquire. At Meeting #10/95,
the Authority adopted Resolution #A260/95 as follows:
THA T the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto be requested to confirm the funding
identified in the 1995-1999 Capital Works Programme under Metro Parks and Culture
is available on the following basis:
i) $500,000. in 1995 to assist in the purchase of Milne Hollow (Markovic
Property);
ii) A maximum of $500,000. in 1996 to assist in the purchase of high priority
Mid and North Humber Valleylands;
THA T the Authority attempt to match up to $500,000, that The Municipality, of
Metropolitan Toronto is providing for the acquisition of the Mid and North Humber
Valleylands.
T AXES AND MAINTENANCE
This parcel of land will be turned over to the City of Toronto under the terms of the existing
management agreement with the former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto.
FINANCIAL DETAilS
The former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has approved funding to a maximum of
$500,000, for-the-mid-and1't01'th Ht:2mber Valleytands.- Expenditures involving the municipal
share is subject to approval of the Commissioner of Finance and the Deputy Commissioner
of Parks and Culture, The Authority's share will b.e raised through land sales, Funding for
this acquisition will be charged to account 004-11-502.

March Elt 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #1/98 815
This property was extensively marketed through public tender, newspaper advertising and
signs em the property as well as distribution of information packages in 1994, however no
offers were received at that time. Since 1994, staff has distributed a number of information
packa~les and had on-going discussions with potential Purchasers and their agents. ~n 1997
a number of parties have expressed an interest in the property.
In late November and early December the Authority received two Offers to Purchase this
parcel of land: one from Tara Homes Inc. and one from Mr. Roland Vander Straeten, in
Trust.
At Authority Meeting #11/97 held on December 19,1997, the members of the Authority
adopted Resolution #A265/97:
THA T the Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated November 25, 1997, from Tara
Homes Inc. and the Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated December 3, 1997, from
Mr. Roland Vander Straeten, in Trust, for the surplus parcel of Authority land located
on the west side of the 8th Line, north of Steeles A venue, City of Brampton,
Regional Municipality of PeelaJ21 be accepted;
AND FURTHER THA T staff be directed to continue to negotiate with Tara Homes
Inc., Mr. Roland Vander Straeten, in Trust and all other interested parties until such
time as an acceptable offer is received whereupon the offer be referred to members
of the Authority for consideration.
After being advised of the Authority resolution, Tara Homes Inc. were not interested in
continuing discussions.
Mr. Roland Vander Straeten is proposing to construct a head office for his research and
development firm, Aiolis Engineering, which will utilize approximately one quarter to one
third of the 32,37 acre site, Mr. Vander Straeten has been looking for a natural setting for
his head office to provide his employees with a setting conducive to his high tech use. Mr.
Vander Straeten has also indicated that he is purchasing the entire site to ensure there will
be similar types of uses compatible with his, on the remainder of the site.
A plan illustrating this location is attached, A copy of the offer at hand is being provided to
the Members of the Executive Committee for information purposes, in a confidential
envelope, accompanying this agenda.
ANAL Y SIS
the safe price is .within-the 'rncJrket"Vahre range-as-determinect"by-an independent appraiser.
The Authority's conditions for the disposal as described above included the right to review
and approve development plans. The Agreement of Purchase and Sale being considered
does not provide the right to review and approve all development plans to ensure the
proposed use is not contrary to Authority objectives and does not negatively impact the
Authority's Claireville holdings and the protection of visual site lines from the valley bottom;
i.e., limiting building height and requiring greater setbacks' from the property line. The
Agreement does however, restrict the use to those permitted on lands designated "prestige
industrial", according to 8rampton's Official Plan Amendment No. 166 which are as follows:
816 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #1/98 March 6, 1998
(I) Manufacturing, processing, assembling, packaging, repairing, fabricating,
warehousing, and storage within wholly enclosed buildings;
(ii) Intermediate office;
(iii) Public and utility uses or structures;
(iv) Research and development facilities-,
(v) Recreation facilities or structures;
(vi) Accessory retail uses which are directly associated with a permitted industrial
operation and occupy a small area in terms of floor space or site coverage relative to
the size of the associated industrial plant; and,
(vii) Day nurseries,
The permitted uses within the "prestige industrial" designation shall be established on
landscaped lots in a park-like setting. A high standard of conceptual building design shall be
required, and undeveloped portions of lots shall be landscaped to achieve the intended
prestige image. In this regard, no outside storage shall be permitted. Accordingly staff is
satisfied all uses under the "prestige industrial" designation are compatible with the
Authority's Claireville holdings,
The reduction in size of this parcel as recommended by the Claireville Conservation Area
Management Plan also provides additional area to buffer the proposed uses on this parcel
from the visual site lines from the valley bottom.
The Authority conditions relating to fencing and vegetated buffer were included in the
original recommendation declaring the lands surplus to attempt to limit potential
encroachments by future owners of this parcel and to provide a visual screen of the
development from remaining Authority holdings. The vegetated buffer and property
boundary delineation conditions in this Agreement will address these objectives.
The Agreement of Purchase and Sale contains a right of notice to the Purchaser if the
Authority decides to sell any land within a 1500 foot radius of the property other than for
roads, road widenings, utilities, pipelines, easements or right of ways. Under the
Authority's disposal policy the owner of this property would be advised of the Authority's
intention to sell lands in this area,
The Authority's- conditions .,elat'in9-to-storrrrwarerITlMl8gement-have b~en satisfactory
addressed in the Agreement.
All other Authority conditions have been satisfactory addressed.
The Agreement is also subject to a number of conditions in favour of the Purchaser. All but
one of these conditions are standard in transactions of this nature. The condition which is
not standard relates to the Purchaser reaching an agreement with the City of Brampton with
respect to constructing a building for the Purchaser's use and also future
severance/development of the remaining and the Purchaser reaching an agreement with the

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
The proponent wishes to construct four new residential units with associated parking on the
tableland portion of the subject property, Construction of two of the units and the associated
parking at the northeast corner of the property involves the excavation of up to two metres of
material adjacent to the top-of-bank, The top-of-bank grades and vegetation on the slope will be
protected by a retaining wall.
The third and fourth units are to be constructed at the southeast corner of the subject property
and also involves the construction of parking spaces. The grades in this area will match the
existing grades,
A geotechnical report was completed for this site and determined that all development must be
set back a minimum of 1,5 metres from the defined top-of-bank. This proposal will have all works
set back 1,5 m from the defined top-of-bank; however, some minor works will occur on the valley
slope, There is evidence of soil creep on the slope due to dumping of organic debris, In order
to rectify the problem, all the organic debris will be removed from the slope and native woody
species will be planted,

Site 1 is located just south ef Highway 401, The waterceurse is intermittent at this point and
most O'f the flow comes frem storm water frem the highway, The site is to' be developed with feur
wetland cells and a butterfly meadow, It is largely a habitat feature which provides water quality
treatment to the road runeff, A leeped trail provides public access.
834 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #1198 March 6, 1998
Site 2 is located on the north side of Ellesmere Avenue. The watercourse is also intermittent at
this site, The main features of the site under base flow conditions will be the watercourse and a
wet meadow, A boardwalk will provide a viewing area, With the construction of a control
structure at Ellesmere Road, this area will function mostly for water quantity control during
periods of flood flows,
Site 3 is located just north of Kingston Road, The watercourse ,is permanently flowing at this
point. An on-line wetland/pond facility is to be constructed as a retrofit to an existing quantity
control pond to provide for both water quality treatment and water quality control. During low
flow conditions and frequent storm events, the water will run through the channel and over flow
into adjacent wet meadow areas. The control structure at the downstream end will cause the
water to back up under higher flows, A looped trail around the periphery of the pond will provide
public access,
Control of Flooding:
The works at these three sites will not change the characteristics of flooding through this reach,
Pollution:
Sites 1 and 2 will be constructed in the dry, Provision will be made to pump around the work
areas if there are periods of flow, As well, sediment check dams will be installed.
For site 3, the new watercourse channel and control structure will be constructed in the dry,
Flow from the existing channel will be diverted into the new channel and fenced off with
sediment fencing-prior to initiation of the grading works,
Conservation of Land:
These works will provide on-site habitats and water quality and quantity control for the
downstream area, The works will contribute to the improvement of fish habitat and reduce the
risk of erosion,
All in-stream works will be done within the fisheries construction timing guidelines, The sites will
be restored with native vegetation,

Staff have reviewed the tenders and are recommending we do not accept any of the offers

an independent evaluation obtained by the Authority.
Offers received for 556 Rodd A venue, Tender QuotBtion No: Property #3/98:
No offers were received for 566 Rodd Avenue.
At Meeting #3/94, the Executive Committee adopted Resolution #47/94 as follows:
THA T the request for potential disposal of certain Authority owned lands in
the Rodd Avenue and Bella Vista area, in the Town of Pickering, be referred to
the Authority staff for review, in accordance with established Authority
policies;
AND FURTHER THA T a report recommending further action in this matter be
brought forward to the Executive at a future date.
At Authority Meeting #2/96, March 29, 1996, staff received direction to request public
input into the proposed boundary amendment and the potential disposal of surplus Authority
land in the Rodd Avenue/Bella Vista Drive area.
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 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, in priority 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 'potential1'urchasers -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)
March 6, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #1198 847
The former owners were either contacted directly if an address could be found or best
effort.s 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
inquirv 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.

3) Insurance and Licensing
Security firm licensing, insurance, WSIB and compliance with the
Occupational Health and Safety Act are required.

which they wish to add at no cost beyond the stipulated requirements,
7) Facilities Inspection by Proponent

ANAL YSIS
The opportunity to submit proposals was given to eight security firms. Six submitted
proposals and they are:
Metropol Security
- Yearly contract including 8 statutory holidays $ 93,846.40
Intercept Security $ 92,512.00
- Yearly contract including 8 statutory holidays
March 6,1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #1/98 857
Primalry Response Inc. $ 88,336.00
- Yearly contract including 8 statutory holidays
Intertt!c Security and Investigations Ltd. $ 88,276.96
- Yearly contract including 8 statutory holidays
Group 4 C.P.S. Ltd. $ 87,962.84
- Yearly contract including 8 statutory holidays
Wackl:!nhut of Canada Ltd. $ 87,220.16
- Yearly contract including 8 statutory holidays
Please note all applicable taxes must be added to the above noted quotations.
The proposals were reviewed and eliminated from further consideration for the following
reasons:
K-9 (guard dog) unit: Group 4 C.P.S. Ltd. - their submission did not include the provision of
a K-9 unit as an integral part of their proposal. A sub-contract would be required, This
would have the affect <?f bringing two Security firms on site, each for part of the year which
is not desirable.
Price: Metropol Security and Intercept Security as high bids.
Qualiw of Service/Recommended Site Inspection: Intertec Security and Investigations Ltd.
elected to submit a bid without inspecting the facilities which were the subject of the quote.
Their proposal did not meet the tender stipulation with respect to the educational/
experience requirement for Security Officers to be supplied to the site. Officer training was
identified in a generic sense but the quality of Officer to be provided was not noted and the
general educational standard was not as stipulated.
For tht~ reasons noted above the final selection was reduced to the review of two proposals;
Wackenhut of Canada Inc. and Primary Response Inc. with Primary Response Inc. being
recommended as the successful bid for this contract. The recommendation is primarily
based on the value added services being offered free of charge by Primary Response Inc.
They are prepared to provide:
858 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #1/98 March 6, 1998
a) two security orientated seminars per year to Authority staff on a subject of
our choice
b) their staff to any Authority training seminar that we deem appropriate so that
their service may compliment our needs most effectively.
c) alarm response service to the contracted facilities 365 days per year, This
service alone represents a significant savings to the Authority in monies and
staff time.
All submissions have been assessed based upon demonstrated interest and compliance with
the specifications within the request for quotation.

BACKGIROUND
Under rl~solution # 275 adopted at Meeting #8/89 the Members of the Authority adopted
the follClwing resolution:
THA T a six acre parcel of tableland, being part of the former MacKenzie and
Grogan properties, Part of Lot 10, Concession 6, Town of Caledon, Regional
Municipality of Peel, situate on the north side of Glasgow Road, be declared
surplus to the requirements of the Authority;
THA T the availability of this parcel of surplus land be circulated to the
liegional Municipality of Peel and the Town of Caledon to determine whether
they have any interest in aCQ,!iring this land at market value;
THA T, in the event of no interest on the part of the Regional Municipality of
Peel and the Town of Caledon, the Secretary Treasurer be directed to
cJdvertise this land for sale;
AND FURTHER THA T the Acting Chairman of the Authority, together with the
Chairmen of the Water and Related Land Management, the Conservation and
Related Land Management, and the Finance and Administration Advisory
Boards be established as a committee to review all proposals received for the
disposal of this land and to make a recommendation to the Authority with
respect to ultimate disposal.
The subject land consists of parts of larger areas originally acquired by the Authority during
late 1977 in connection with the Bolton Dam and Reservoir project. In order to acquire the
portions of the property required by the Authority for the proposed Flood Control Project. it
was necessary to acquire the entire holdings of both properties involved including two
residences. The parcel proposed to be declared as surplus is situate well beyond the original
boundary of acquisition for the Bolton Dam and Reservoir Project. as approved by the
Province of Ontario.
The Autlhority had an offer from a private group for the sale of this property in 1989 but.
with the collapse in the real estate market. a sale was never finalized. At that time both the
Region (If Peel and the Town of Caledon were contacted but neither were interested in
acquirinn the property.
The Town of Caledon recently approached the Authority and has requested that the
, Authority enter into formal negotiations with them for the acquisition of the parcel for
recreational purposes.
RATIONALE
The land proposed to be declared surplus is beyond the Authority's land acquisition
requirements. The two Authority rental homes adjacent to the parcel will not be effected by
the disposal of this parcel.
B64 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2198 April3,1998
FINANCIAL DETAILS
It is proposed that the proceeds from this land sale be utilized, upon receipt of the
appropriate approvals from the Province of Ontario, for the acquisition of high priority
floodplain, valley and waterfront land.

the west side of Rosebank Road and requires a 3 metre widening from the Authority. The'
construction of the sidewalk will require the removal of approximately 3 metres of the forest
edge for approximately 180 metres.
The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed this proposal and is in
concurrence with the conveyance to the Town of Pickering of this property.
A plan illustrating this location is attached.
RATIONAL

management plan.

consideration of $2.00 and we request that this parcel be conveyed for the nominal
consideration of $2.00. The Town will be responsible for all survey, legal and other costs
associated with completion of this transaction.

AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take
whate,'er action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of any
necessillry approvals and the execution of any documents. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGiROUND
In late 1991 staff received a request from a previous owner of the Realzon lands to explore
potential purchase of the small parcel of adjacent Authority land. Resolution #297 adopted
January 10/92 stated
MTHA T the request for disposal of this land be referred to the Authority staff
for review in accordance with the established Authority policies;
AND FURTHER THA T a report recommending further action in this matter be
brought forth to the Executive Committee at a future date. ..
At that time it was noted by Authority technical staff that, although they had no objections
to the parcel being disposed of by the Authority, the proposed subdivision development on
the adjacent lands was not compatible with our conservation objectives.
Since, 1992 a number of r~visions have been made to the proposed development and the
current draft plan -of subdivision is acceptable to our technical staff.
The proposal at hand provides the Authority with the opportunity of acquiring a substantial
portion of flood plan and valley land in the Humber valley which is contiguous with current
Authority holdings.
The fragment being disposed of is separated from other Authority holdings in the area by a
portion of 10 Sideroad, which is proposed to be utilized for road purposes in conjunction
with thl;l proposed subdivision.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
It is proposed that the proceeds from the sale of this property will be used to acquire high
priority lands under approved Authority Land Acquisition Projects.
Taxes and Maintenance
The land being acquired by the Authority is in the immediate vicinity of other Authority
, holdings currently under management agreement. The Town is in the process of
considering plans for trail development in this area and it is proposed that the subject lands,
being acquired by the Authority, be added to the existing management agreement.

involve the repaving of a portion of the Don Valley Parkway and the associated repair of existing
culverts and headwalls. There are 16 culverts draining from the Don Mills ramps and along the
Don Valley Parkway that will be repaired. Fifteen of these culverts will have their headwalls and
associated rip rap reconstructed. Twelve of these culverts are to be relined and backfilled with
unshrinkable fill. And four culverts are being reconstructed by replacing the existing 375mm
catchbasin with a new 375mm catchbasin. These culverts do not outlet directly into the Don
River.
Control of Flooding:
Some of the works are in the flood plain but no grades will be changing. The limits of the
Regional Storm flood plain will not be affected.
Pollution:
Sediment fences will be erected at both ends of the culverts and will remain in place until all
. works are completed. An asphalt trail runs between the proposed works and the watercourse.
This trail will act as a natural sediment control structure.
Conservation of Land:
The disturbed areas will be stabilized with topsoil and hydro seeded. No significant resource
features will be affected by these works.

RATION,ALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prooosal:
The proposal consists of regrading an area around a double inlet catchbasin connected to an
existing storm sewer system. The catch basin inlet needs to be lowered to eliminate periodic
ponding which will alleviate a minor safety concern to children attending the Rockcliffe Middle
School. A 1.0 metre high gabion I;>asket wall will be constructed to compensate for the grade
cutting rE!quired for the lowering of the catch basin. The site is located within the Regional Storm
flood plain and Fill Regulated Area of the Black Creek.
Control of Flooding:
The required regrading work will result in removing fill material from the flood plain and will not
impact the existing hydraulics of the Regional Storm.
Pollution:
, No sedimentation is expected, as the double inlet catchbasin will be lowered once the grade
cutting work has been completed and stabilized.
Conservsltion of Land:
All disturbed areas will be revegetated following construction.

Proposal:
As an interim measure, prior to servicing the general area for stormwater control, treatment and
conveyance, the proponent is proposing to construct a stormwater pond to control runoff to the
100 year storm and to treat it for water quality to service a proposed industrial site. Stormwater
enters the pond as overland flow from the site and exits via three pipes into the riparian area of a
tributary to the Morningside Creek.
Control ()f Flooding:
The pond is not in the flood plain and will not affect the limit of the Regional Storm flood plain.
,
Pollution~
Sediment fencing is to be installed around the pond site to prevent sediment from entering the
watercourse during construction. The disturbed area will be stabilized prior to removal of the
fence.
898 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2198 April3,1998
Conservation of Land:
The tributary of the Morningside Creek adjacent to the pond is intermittent and a headwater
feature. The treatment of this watercourse and stream corridor is being considered through the
Morningside Tributary Subwatershed Study. As an interim position, the corridor width has been
set 30 metres back from the stream bank. The pond is located outside of this corridor.
There is little existing riparian cover for the stream. Final direction for planting will also come out
of the recommendations from the subwatershed study. Staff have not requested planting of the
corridor through this proposal. However, the pond will be planted with native trees and shrubs.
The pond is not sized and designed for water quality treatment; however, there will be vegetative
buffer strips, both before water runs into the pond and, at the outlet. Also, the pond will be
planted to provide for some quality benefIt. Staff finds this acceptable for this small 2.4 ha site.

RES. #B28/98- REQUEST FOR LEASE AND RESTORATION OF RESIDENCE ON
FORMER BARKER PROPERTY IN THE WOODBRIDGE AREA
CFN 22099. The Authority is in receipt of a proposal from the Yeoman
Rugby Football Club of the City of 8rampton, to rehabilitate and lease
the residence on the former Barker Property in the City of Vaughan,
which is currently in a dilapidated condition.
Moved by: Maria Augim~ri
Seconded by: Gerri Lynn O'Connor
THAT the request for lease and rehabilitation of the residence on the former Barker Property
be referred to Authority staff for review and further discussions with the Yeoman Rugby
Football Club;
AND FURTHER THAT a report recommending further action in this matter be brought to the
Executive Committee at the earliest opportunity. ....................... CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In October 1964, the Authority acquired by expropriation a 176 acre parcel of land in the
City of Vaughan, from Roy Henry Barker to facilitate the construction of the Boyd Dam and
Reservoir Project. Situate on the subject land at the date of acquisition, were a number of
improvements including a two storey brick veneer farmhouse. The 8arker family retained the
use of the residence and farm operation for a number years after the date of expropriation
under the provisions of the settlement of the expropriation.
Upon receiving vacant possession of the property from the original owners in November
1979, a portion of this residence was rented to Authority staff until December 20. 1996.
While a portion of the house was in poor condition at the time of obtaining possession from
the expropriated owner, it was deemed desirable for Authority purposes to seal off a portion
of the dwelling and rent the usable portion on an interim basis. The residence is situate
immediately adjacent to the Authority Tree Nursery Operation Centre on the north side of
Rutherford Road near Islington Ave. with the staff tenant originally being involved with this
program.
In December. 1996 when the tenant vacated. a thorough review of the dwelling was carried
out and it was determined that it would cost a substantial amount of money to bring the
entire house up to today's standards. Demolition of the site was another option. but staff
decided to continue to explore other avenues to maintain the dwelling.
The availability of the property was publicly advertised to solicit tenants who would be
prepared to renovate the home at their cost in lieu of paying rent until such time as all of
. the repairs as required by the Authority- would be completed.
April 3, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2198 8101
Staff is in receipt of a proposal from the Yeoman Rugby Football Club, for a potential lease
with the Authority for the rehabilitation and use of this building as a residence. The
Yeoman Rugby Football Club already has a long term arrangement with the Authority for the
use of the former Peachey Mansion at Claireville as a clubhouse for a rugby team. Under
the existing arrangement, the former Peachey residence which was in extremely poor
condition has been restored at no cost to the Authority.
On October 15th, 1995, the Authority entered into a similar arrangement with Catherine
Tredway and 8arnOwl for the restoration and maintenance of an historic dwelling located at
17 Mill Street, in Markham. To date the dwelling has been restored to the satisfaction of
the Authority, with no cost to the Authority.
RATIONALE
A number of discussions have been held with representatives of the Yeoman Rugby Football
Club. There is potential for an arrangement to be negotiated that would provide for:
(a) Restoration of the building to the Authority's satisfaction;
(b) ,("1 costs associated with the property being paid by the tenants;
(c) Future revenue generation opportunities for the Authority;
(d) In the event the Authority requires to obtain possession of the property, the
Authority will reimburse the Yeoman Rugby Football Club for costs incurred in
connection with the restoration work, in accordance with an established credit
f.ormula.
Staff is :seeking to continue negotiations on the basis noted above and will report to the
Executive Committee if a satisfactory proposal can be achieved.

BACKGROUND
The Appe.al
Official Plan Amendment No. 974 was appealed by a group of landowners known as the
Morningside Heights Landowners Group in the area, who collectively own 184 hectares
(470 acrles) of land, or approximately two-thirds of the Morningside Heights area. The land
owners who appealed the amendment also appealed Council's refusal to consider the private
application to amend the former City of Scarborough Official Plan and the District Secondary
Plan. The purpose of the private amendment was to redesignate the subject lands from
primarily Industrial use to permit a residential community with ancillary uses including retail,
institutional and golf course.
There has been a lengthy history to planning and development approvals and initiatives
affecting the Morningside Heights Community. These include the Morningside Tributary
Subwatershed Study, a former City of Scarborough initiated Official Plan Amendment,
transportation, and the Rouge Park. The following summarizes the key issues and identifies
related Authority interests.
,
8104 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2198 Apri13,1998
Morningside Tributarv Subwatershed Study
The City of Scarborough initiated a sub watershed study in June 1993 for this reach of the
Morningside Creek. The purpose was to develop a subwatershed plan which would provide
a strategic approach to urban development that is sustainable in economic terms while
maintaining maximum benefits to the natural environment and the surrounding community.
Authority staff have been participating on the Morningside Tributary Subwatershed Steering
Committee with City staff, other commenting agency staff, and interest groups. Our
objective is to ensure that Authority Valley and Stream program goals and objectives are
being recognized and incorporated.
Authority staff brought forward a report for information to the Authority through the
Watershed Management Advisory 80ard with regard to the Morningside Tributary
Sub watershed Study. The Full Authority at its meeting held October 31, 1997, Meeting
#9/97, adopted Resolution # A236/97:
MTHA T THE BOARD RECOMMENDS TO THE AUTHORITY THA T the staff report,
dated October 10, 1997 be received for information.
THA T the concerns of the Friends of the Rouge Watershed regarding the Morningside
Tributary be considered, including a review of an increase of the 10 metre setback,
in the Morningside Tributary Sub watershed Study and report back to the Watershed
Management Advisory Board as soon as possible".
To date, Authority staff have not yet reported back to the Watershed Management Advisory
80ard regarding the concerns of the Friends of the Rouge Watershed. It was anticipated
that these issues would be dealt with further through the Subwatershed Study; however,
they are now also before the Ontario Municipal Board. Staff will include further detailed
discussion on the Friends of the Rouge Watershed concerns in future reports on this Ontario
Municipal Board Hearing.
Authority staff interests with regard to the Morningside Tributary Subwatershed Study in
relation to the referrals are to ensure that the final recommendations are implemented
through the planning and development proposals and are in compliance with Authority
policy and criteria as set out in the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.
Land Use
Official Plan Amendment No. 974 (OPA 974) is a former City of Scarborough initiated
amendment for the Morningside Heights Community within the Tapscott District Secondary
Plan area. The lands are bounded by Steeles Avenue to the north, the main Rouge River
Valley to the east and the Canadian Pacific Railway Line to the west and south (see
attachment). The Morningside Creek corridor and associated tributaries traverse the
community area. The Amendment identifies the lands as a special study area in order to
. allow the City to study the current land use designations set out in the Official Plan and
advise whether land use amendments are required.
Currently, most of the lands in the area are designated in the former City of Scarborough
Official Plan as General Industrial Uses. The alignment of the Morningside Creek is
designated Open Space with a small portion of land in the south east designated
Agriculture. The Morningside Heights Landowners Group are pursuing amendments to the
Official Plan to allow for Residential and Golf Course uses.
April3,1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2198 8105
Authority staff have not taken a position with regard to the redesignation of the tableland
other than as it relates to the recognition, protection and regeneration of the natural
heritage and hazard features and functions, compatible uses within the natural corridors and
other water management issues.
TransDortation
A road network will be required to service the proposed development; however, there are
also outstanding transportation issues relating to a north-south transportation corridor
linking Highways 401 and 407 where an alternative alignment crosses the Morningside
Heights lands. The level of interest in this road is significant. The three neighbouring
municip,alities of York Region, Durham Region and the Town of Markham currently have
interest in maintaining this link to the Toronto area. It is likely that two currently-appealed
amendments to the Scarborough Official Plan, OPA 722 dealing with the deletion of the
East Metro Transportation Corridor and OPA 990, the North-East Roads Study, may be
consolidated into this hearing. Of interest, is that through the creation of the Rouge Park,
the Province announced that there would be "no new roads constructed south of Steeles
Avenue in the Rouge Park".
Authority concerns relate to potential environmental impacts associated with the location
and design techniques of any related road crossings and with regard to the preferred
alignment of the 401/407 link which is presently being studied through the Environmental
Assessment process.
These various interests are being brought together at the Ontario Municipal Board through
the referral by the Morningside Heights Landowners Group in an effort to bring resolution,
not only to the City initiated and proposed private Official Plan Amendments, but also, to all
issues a'ffecting the Morningside Heights Community.
RA TIONAlE
The Ontario Municipal Board held a Prehearing Conference (PHC) on February 20, 1998 on
the referrals. Authority staff attended and advised the Board of the Authority's interests
relating to the valley and stream corridors, environmental impacts associated with potential
road crossings, storm water management and the Rouge Park boundary and compatible
uses. Sti:lff advised that we had not yet received Authority direction on the matter, but were
requesting party status to reserve the opportunity for further input. We also advised that
we were participating in discussions with the City and other parties to narrow and, if
possible, resolve the issues under appeal. The 80ard granted party status. To date, there
are fifteen parties recognized by the 80ard including the Town of Markham and the Regions
of York and Durham who have expressed concerns related to the 401/407 transportation
corridor link south of Steeles Avenue.
At the February 20, 1998 PHC, the Board Chair assigned a Hearing date of October 19,
. 1998 as well as two additional PHC's (July 2, 1998 and September 14, 1998). It was
identified that there were three key areas of concern: 1. Morningside Creek Sub watershed
Study i 2. land Use, and 3. Transportation. As noted, an additional issue is ensuring that
the Rou~le Park interests are met.
8106 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2198 April 3, 1998
The Ontario Municipal Board required that all parties submit a preliminary list of issues to
Mr. J. Davies, of Davies Howe Partners, legal Council for the Morningside Heights
landowners Group. Attached is a copy of our issues list. Staff will be bringing forward
more detailed reports over the next 2 - 3 months.
The City of Toronto staff will be bringing a report forward to Council on April 1, 1998 in
order to seek direction on issues related to the former Metropolitan Toronto and City of
Scarborough Official Plans as they relate to the Morningside Heights Community.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
At this point in time, staff is not recommending that legal council be retained. It is
recommended that staff be directed to continue to pursue resolution of issues in
cooperation with the City, the Morningside Heights landowners Group and other relevant
parties and to report back to the Authority for further direction prior to the July 2, 1998
Prehearing Conference date.

RES. #830/98 - CITY OF MISSISSAUGA OFFICIAL PLAN
Ontario Municipal Board Referrals (Aregers Appeal)
Authorization for party status before the Ontario Municipal Board on a
site specific referral of the City of Mississauga Official Plan by George
Aregers of 1671 Brentano Boulevard in the City of Mississauga,
Etobicoke Creek Watershed.
Moved by: Maria Augimeri

the City of Mississauga, Etobicoke Creek Watershed be authorized;
THA T staff continue to pursue the resolution of Authority issues and interests in
cooperation with the City of Mississauga and other relevant parties prior to the Hearing;
AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to the Authority on the status of discussions and

BACKGROUND
Mr. George Aregers is the owner of property known as 1671 Brentano Boulevard, north of
the QEW and adjacent to the Etobicoke Creek, in the City of Mississauga. The subject
property is approximately two hectares in size. The property has three structures on
tableland with the balance being valley side slope and flood plain of the Etobicoke Creek.
The majority of the lands are Fill Regulated and the valley floor from the watercourse to the
toe of slope is flood plain.
The Authority has had extensive dealings with this property through our Regulations and
permitting process. In April 1981 a violation was issued by Authority staff for the
placement of fill over the crest of slope of the Etobicoke Creek valley within the Fill
Regulated area without the prior issuance of a Permit from this Authority. Then in July
1981 the MTRCA Hearing Board considered Mr. Areger's application for permit and.
subsequently, refused permission because the application would "affect the control of
flooding". The application was appealed by Mr. Aregers to the Mining and Lands
Commissioner where it was later adjourned. A revised permit application was submitted to
the Authority for consideration. A Hearing (MTRCA) was once again held on August 8,
1984 where the decision was refusal of the application "as it would affect the control of
flooding and the conservation of land". The outstanding violation for the placement of fill
was pursued by the Authority through Provincial Court. The decision was in favour of the
. Authority where the fill material has since been removed from the valley and the slope
restored to its existing condition.
April 3, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2198 B111
The Mississauga Official Plan (City Plan) designates the subject property Residential and
Major Open Space. The subject property is already zoned Residential and Greenbelt. A
Notice o'f Decision for the City Plan was issued by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and
Housing on June 16, 1997. The City Plan came into effect on July 8, 1997 except for
those matters subject to appeal and/or deferral. The Aregers appeal is known as Appeal
Number 12.
There are 23 appeals in total to the City Plan, most of which are site specific. Only the
Aregers appeal affects Authority interests. The Aregers appeal broadly refers all sections of
the City Plan relating to the Natural Environment, including the Etobicoke Creek Valley and
Open Space Goals and Objectives, only as they apply to the Aregers' property.
City of Mississauga staff requested our assistance in responding to the Areger's appeal.
The Authority's interests and concerns relate to the appropriate recognition of the valleyland
component of the property. In this regard, we support the City Plan designation and
policies.
RA TIONALE
Authoriw and City staff have had, without prejudice, discussions with the appellant's
lawyer and consultant in an effort to better understand the reason for the appeal and to
narrow and resolve issues if possible. Through this discussion, it appeared that the key
issues of concern relate to public use and/or ownership of the privately-owned valleylands.
Of interest is the fact that the City Plan does not modify the previous Official Plan
designations on the Aregers property and contains policies that recognize privately-owned
valleylands. It is hoped that the appeal can be resolved by clarifying the provisions currently
contained within the Plan.
The Ontalrio Municipal Board held a Prehearing Conference (PHC) on February 12, 1998 on
the City Plan referrals. Authority staff attended and advised the Board of the Authority's
interests. Staff also advised that we had not yet received Authority direction on this
matter, but were requesting party status to reserve the opportunity for further input. We
also advised that we were participating in discussions with the City and appellant to narrow
and, if possible, resolve the issues under appeal. The Board granted party status.
At the Fe'bruary 12, 1998 PHC, City Council, in an effort to resolve as many appeals as
possible, requested that the Board Chair assign two additional Procedural Hearing
Conferences, the first to allow time to narrow, scope and resolve issues, and the second to
identify those that were unresolved and set a hearing date. The Chair and Parties agreed to
the request and two additional Procedural Hearing Conferences have been scheduled (April
14, 1998 and June 16, 1998). The actual Hearing date will be established at the June 16,
1998 PHC.

At the time of preparing the Terms of Reference in the summer of 1997 for the consultant
contract, Authority staff were reviewing the Environmental Assessment requirements and
options with Ministry of the Environment and Energy staff. In addition, the review process
and technical requirements for the fisheries issues by the Department of Fisheries and
Oceans had not been finalized.
The Terms of Reference under the Environmental Assessment Act were in preparation
during November 1997- January 1998. These Terms of Reference were then posted on the
Environmental Bill of Rights with the last day for comment being March 19, 1998. The
Terms of Reference set the range of options to be evaluated and the public consultation
process.
On the fisheries issue, we have been working with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans
on the analysis of all options through their "defensible methods process". This process will
assist in the fisheries impact analysis of each option under the Environmental Assessment
and will set the parameters for the fish compensation related to the final design.
RA TIONAlE
The Terms of Reference under the Environmental Assessment Act requires the preparation
and appropriate coastal analysis for one additional alternative. The consultant is also
required to prepare -the app(opriate concept drawing and coastal analysis for the public
meetings and environmental assessment document. This technical information was
available at the two additional public meetings held in March 1998.
Consultant assistance is also required to complete the defensible methods process and
review of this information with the technical staff at the Department of Fisheries and
Oceans.
Shoreplan Engineering Limited has completed much of the work outlined in the original
proposal, with the exception of the design study report which is due in April 1998. This
design study report will include the' additional coastal analysis of the additional option and
will be incorporated into the Environmental Assessment document. In addition, the
consultant will prepare the detailed design drawings for Phase 1 as agreed under the original
fee.
This additional work would have been required as part of any consultants work on this
< project. With the additional consultant costs of $9,800. for this work, Shoreplan
Engineering limited remains the lowest bidder as per the original quotes.
DETAilS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The consultant will be submitting the coastal design study in April 1998, completing the
reviews of the coastal analysis with the Authority's fisheries biologist and Department of
Fisheries ,and Oceans and undertaking the detailed design drawings in 1998.

FINANCIAL DETAILS
The Rouge Park Alliance at meeting #9/97, October 15, 1997 passed a resolution approving
an allocation of $25,000 for the development of a Rouge Park Natural and Cultural
Interpretation Plan. Part of the allocation was also to be used for implementation of the
Plan. This allocation is to be taken from the Federal funding to the Rouge park. In providing
capital f:unding to the Rouge Park Alliance, the Federal Government indicated a commitment
to complete projects that would further the federal mandatelinterest in the Rouge Park.
Interpretation was identified as one of those federal interests.

BACKGF~OUND
Pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 written permission from the Authority is required to:
(a) clonstruct any building or structure or permit any building or structure to be constructed
in or on a pond or swamp or in any area susceptible to flooding during a Regional Storm;
(b) place or dump fill or permit fill to be placed or dumped in the areas described in the
schedules whether such fill is already located in or upon such area, or brought to or on
such area from some other place or places;
(c) straighten, change, divert or interfere in any way with the existing channel of a river,
creek, stream, or watercourse.
A permit may be refused if, in the opinion of the Authority, the conservation of land, control of
flooding c:>r pollution is affected. Before refusing permission, the Authority must hold a Hearing
to which the applicant is party.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The proposed fill application is to take place on part of a larger holding jointly owned by the
above noted applicants. The property is located on the south side of Castlemore Road east of
the Humber River West Branch (see EXHIBIT 1 attached to this report). The property is currently
being USE!d for agricultural purposes. The property contains a residence, drive shed ,and barn in
the northern section. Approximately two thirds of the property is fill regulated (the northern
section is outside the Fill Regulated Area). The proposed regrading is located in the southern
area of the property (see EXHIBIT 2 attached to this report).
PROPOSAL
The applicants propose to undertake a cut and fill operation to place 16,207 m3 of fill and cut 332
. m3 of fill in order to improve the existing agricultural use of the land (see EXHIBITS 3 and 4
attached to this report). The proposal will have the effect of raising the grade in the southeast
corner of the property above the level of the regulatory flood elevation by cutting an existing
knoll and placing the material in the flood plain. The cut proposed is to create a drainage swale
to maintain drainage from lands to the east. The proponents advise that all the material can be
generated through regrading on site, eliminating the need to import fill material. The total area of
the operation is approximately 250 by 160 metres (40,000 square metres). Fill will be generated
by cutting the existing knoll and regraded into the adjacent horseshoe shaped area below the
flood ~Ievation that surrounds it. The total area of flood storage lost is 15,875 cubic metres,
which is approximately equivalent to 1600 truckloads of fill.

8122 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2198 April 3, 1998
CHRONOLOGY
This application was originally scheduled for a Hearing before the Executive Committee in 1993.
At the request of the applicants, the Hearing was adjourned. The applicants have requested that
the application be brought forward and the Hearing rescheduled. Staff provide a brief
chronology of the file below.
In 1990, Authority staff attended a site meeting with the proponents and City of Brampton staff
for the purposes of establishing the valley development limit for a proposed draft plan of
subdivision on the subject property. A development limit was not established at this meeting
because the proponent disagreed with Authority and City staff as to where the limits of the
valleylands are. Subsequently, in the spring of 1991, staff received a report by Setchell and
McKinnon Ltd. who were acting on behalf of the applicants. This report identified eight
residential lots and a cul-de-sac running south from Castlemore Road, as being proposed for the
site. The report proposed regrading on the site within the subject backwater area in order to
create the tableland necessary to facilitate the development proposal. Staff advised that the
alteration to the flood plain that was being proposed was not acceptable and that the Regional
Storm floodline formed the appropriate development limit.
On November 7, 1991, staff received a permit application for the regrading proposal that forms
the subject of this Hearing. The reasons for the fill, as noted within the application, is to improve
the existing agricultural use of the land. Staff indicated that the application would not have staff
support and accordingly the proponents' agent requested a Hearing before the Executive
Committee. This was scheduled for the March 12, 1993 Executive Committee Meeting #1/93,
but the Hearing was adjourned at the applicants' request.
At that time, staff carried out a site investigation, and noted that the property actually lies within
the floor of a defined valley c~rridor as characterized by its topographic and drainage features.
The Authority's Fill Regulation Une does not fully identify the existing valley feature.
During the balance of 1993 and into 1994, staff continued to have discussions with the
applicants. A revised proposal was put forward in April 1994 which reduced the amount of
regrading in the flood plain to 6590 cubic metres. Staff again indicated that although the volume
of fill in the flood plain had been reduced, the amount of fill was still substantive and would
impact the control of flooding. We advised that there was a defined valley corridor through the
reach and that regardless of flood plain issues, we would not recommend approval of
development on the floor of the valley.
Staff identified alternative proposals such as disposing of the material being cut from the knoll at
a non-valley/flood plain site. This would increase rather than decrease flood storage. Other
measures that would not result in loss of flood storage to improve local drainage, such as french
drains, were also suggested. The proponents indicated that they were reviewing this position,
however no further communication followed regarding this matter.
,
During the past four years, the City of Brampton has undertaken and approved the Bram East
Secondary Plan for this area The general land use designation for the entire property shown
schematically is Open Space, with Estate Residential representing the adjacent land use. The
zoning (as shown in By-law 56-83) is flood plain, with the southern area zoned Estate Residential
(Holding).
In 1997, a letter was received from Mr. Conroy Dowson, the agent for the owners, indicating that
they wished to re-activate the original proposal and forward it to the Executive Committee for a
decision. The original proposal dating from 1991 is therefore the subject of this Hearing.
April 3, 1 !998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2198 8123
TRCA POLICY CONTEXT
In 1991, when the application was first received, the Authority's policies for flood plain planning
were as set out in the 1980 Watershed Plan, its 1986 update and several other policy
amendment documents that had been approved by the Authority over the years. In 1994, the
Authority approved the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) which
updated and consolidated its previous policies for flood plain management.
The Authority's policies for undeveloped flood plains and "passiven use of valleylands was not
substantially amended through the approval of the VSCMP. The VSCMP more clearly articulated
the Authority's approach to flood plain planning, including a further detailing of technical criteria
Because! the consideration of this application spans several years, staff has summarized the
relevant policies of the Authority as contained in several of its documents. This allows us to
ensure tl1at the applicants receive the fairest possible consideration of their application.
. The Authority's Watershed Plan (1980) Flood Control Program stated as follows for
undeveloped flood plains:
Section 5.1.3
(b) Occupation of the flood plain for activities which do not require alteration to the
flood plain and which do not interfere with the primary function of the flood plain
are considered suitable. The following land uses are representative of
appropriate activities:
. agriculture;
. outdoor recreation/open space;
. - gardens/nurseries/arboretums;
. other similar nonstructural uses.
Although the stated purpose of the application is to improve agriculture use of the property, it
does invcJlve alteration of the flood plain and interferes with the primary function of the flood plain
as discussed further on in this report under Technical Evaluation of the Proposal.
. The Authority's 1994 Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program integrates the
Authority's public safety responsibilities with its commitment to ecosystem planning and
management. Policy excerpts relevant to this application are as follows:
(4.2.2 (H) Existing Resource-based Uses - refers to Section 4.1.2)
4.1.2 New Resource-based Uses
A) The Authority encourages the public and private use of valley and stream
corridors only for such uses that are compatible with their landform, features and
. functions such that:
. existing topography is retained;
. existing features and functions are protected or improved;
. unacceptable risks to loss of life and/or property damage as a result of
flooding, erosion and/or slope instability do not result; and
. the need for mitigative and/or remedial measures and management
strategies is avoided or minimized.
Generally, this includes such uses as:
8124 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2198 April 3, 1998
. passive (low intensity) outdoor recreation and education;
. local and regional trail systems; and,
. pasture, agriculture, gardening, horticulture and silviculture.
B) New "resource-basedn uses may be permitted within valley and stream corridors
subject to the following policies and criteria:
1) The preparation and approval of a Corridor Plan as described in Section 6.3.
2) Such uses shall not affect the control of flooding, such that:
i) modifications to flood plain contours shall be minimized to grade
changes not exceeding 0.5 metres to 1.0 metres (Filling in
localized areas may be considered);
ii) the pre-development characteristics of the flood plain, including
flood storage and conveyance characteristics, shall be maintained.
Detailed hydraulic and hydrologic analyses shall be required to
demonstrate compliance;
iii) the safe passage of flood flows including spring runoff events shall
not be impeded;
iv) primary structures and services or other significant development
features such as clubhouses, barns septic systems, parking areas
shall not be permitted within the Regulatory Flood Plain;
v) ancillary structures and/or services such as sheds and public
washrooms may be permitted within the Regulatory Flood Plain
provided that no potential for loss of life or substantial property
damage connected with such structures/services results; however,
these uses shall not be permitted within the hydraulic floodway,
and/or 100 year flood plain;
vi) property damage in the event of a flood including spring runoff
events shall be minimized and assumed by the proponent (a Save
Harmless and Indemnification Agreement may be required);
vii) there shall be no increase in flood risk to upstream or downstream
properties.
As indicated, the VSCM'P articulates further detailed criteria that Authority staff uses when
, evaluating proposals, particularly Section 4.1.2, Policy (B) (2) quoted above. The proposal does
not comply with the policies and criteria of VSCMP, as discussed further in the Technical
Evaluation of the Proposal.
An additional concern is the original proposal that was submitted in 1991 for an eight lot
residential subdivision. Essentially, Section 4.1.1 (A) of the VSCMP states that new urban
development, including buildings, structures, and associated private servicing such as parking
and septic systems, shall not be permitted within valley and stream corridors.
April 3, 1 ~~98 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2198 8125
TECHNICAL EVALUATION OF THE PROPOSAL
Because, the application is to eliminate a portion of the flood plain, the technical evaluation
undert~:en by staff focuses on the impacts associated with flood plain alterations. As it relates
to this application, the key concern is associated with the loss of flood storage.
TRCA Flood Plain Information
Since receipt of the original fill permit application, Authority staff have received new flows, based
on the Humber River Watershed Hydrology/Hydraulics and Stormwater Management Study
(1997) for the purposes of flood plain calculations. Again, staff has reviewed the application
using both the original flood plain information and the revised information.
The 1997 hydrology resulted in slightly lower flow rates through this reach of the Humber River.
Flows WE!re reduced by between 7 - 20 % on the two branches of the Humber. These reductions
in flows resulted in water levels being reduced by 0.1 to 0.4 m locally through this reach of the
Humber River. The resultant water level changes affecting the property in question were in the
range of a 0.1-0.2 m reduction. Flood depths on the site based upon our current flood plain
mapping range from 0.2 m at the upstream end of the site to 1.1 m at the downstream end.
Given the nature of the site, velocities would be expected to be low, most likely in the range of
0.3 m/s.
Changes in the flows through this reach were a consequence of the use of an updated
hydrologic model. The model was calibrated using 1986 flows which represent some of the
highest flow rates observed on this branch of the Humber River.
The slightly lower water levels resulting from our updated modelling on the Humber River do not
result in cl significant removal of flood prone lands within the site. The lands continue to be flood
vulnerable only under the regulatory flow, so no change has occurred with regard to the
frequency of flood vulnerability. As such, the analysis of impacts related to the control of
flooding .as a result of the loss of flood storage through filling has not changed. The loss of
storage, while slightly less will still result in increased flooding.
Evaluation of flood olain imoacts
When evaluating the impact on the control of flooding, the Authority considers, among other
factors, both the incremental and cumulative impacts related to the loss of flood storage. Some
of the impacts that can be expected from loss of flood storage are increased flood flows,
changes in the frequency and therefore, risk of flooding and an increase in the risk to loss of life
and prop,erty. Staff has completed a technical evaluation of the proposal based on a
consideration of these factors and summarize our findings below.
. The applicants' consultant, Setchell and McKinnon Ltd., states that a balanced cut and fill
is not technically feasible. Flood storage will be lost.
. . The consultant also argues that because the area proposed to be filled is not modelled
by a cross section in the Authority's existing hydraulic model, that the proposal will
therefore not affect flood plain elevations as currently calculated.
Staff haVE! reviewed the hydraulic report by Setchell and McKinnon Ltd. submitted in support of
the application. Staff recognize that the area in question was not specifically represented by a
cross-section within the Authority's hydraulic model. Cross-sections are taken at intervals
through valley reaches in hydraulic modelling studies; however, the site is within the regulatory
flood plain and it is a backwater area of the flood plain.
8126 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #2198 April 3, 1998
With all hydraulic models, some components of the valley will always remain outside of specified
cross sections as they are typically located many tens or hundreds of metres apart. In other
areas of the flood plain, features that are offline from the main flow path of the watercourse,
provide more of a storage than flow function are not specifically shown based on adopted
modelling standards. It is the interpretation of flood level information calculated at each section
along the length of the watercourse that is used to define the limits of floodplain and therefore
the area of flood storage. Removal of the area not specifically defined by a cross section while
not having a mathematical impact on the flood level at the site, will still result in a physical loss of
flood storage and therefore impact on flooding.
The Authority does not support flood plain modifications strictly on an evaluation of whether one
9an balance cut and fill; however, this does directly relate to the issue of loss of flood storage.
The area in question provides both storage and conveyance of flow offline from the main path
of flood waters through this reach of the Humber River for the Regional flood. This flood storage
within this site can be described as a mix of passive and active flood plain storage, in that a
percentage of flood waters back up into the area during a storm and drain back to the
watercourse when the flood peak has' passed and some flow through the site is also occurring.
The loss of flood storage and reduced conveyance caused by filling will affect the control of
flooding through an increase in peak flows downstream of the site and some local impacts at or
upstream of the site. While the degree of impact will vary with the relative size of the loss of flood
storage, it will increases significantly when viewed on a cumulative basis.
Summary
In this case, the proposed works involve a modification to the flood plain that interferes with its
primary-function (conveyance and storage of floodwater). Staff are of the opinion that this
proposal has the potential to increase flood levels on the basis of the impact associated with the
cumulative loss of flood storage. This type of incremental filling can have a significant impact on
flood storage throughout the watershed.
As noted in the chronology section, staff have suggested other alternatives to the applicants
which would have the effect of improving the agricultural use of the lands without impacting the
control of flooding.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
To this end, staff recommend that the application be refused as it will affect the control of
flooding and the conservation of land in the following ways:
. it has the potential to impact the control of flooding upstream and downstream through
the cumulative loss of flood storage;
. it does not comply with existing Authority policy regarding undeveloped flood plains
which allows for uses which do not interfere with the primary function of the flood plain to
, convey and store flood flows.

SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION
RES. #846/98 - TRCA - CHANGE OF NAME
Report on possible change to the name of the Authority and insertion
of the word "The" as part of The Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority's legal name.
Moved by: Jim McMaster
Seconded by: Michael Di Biase
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff be directed to request the
Province of Ontario to amend The Conservation Authorities Act by inserting the word ""TheN
as part of the official and legal name of !he Toronto And Region Conservation Authority;
AND FURTHER THAT the Township of Uxbridge be advised that to include the term
"Regions" in our name reflects our area of jurisdiction as being based on political
boundaries, instead of, more appropriately, as a geographic definition. ........ CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In December of 1997, the Province of Ontario amended The Conservation Authorities Act as
part of amendments to the City of Toronto Act. The change was needed to make the
Conservation Authorities Act references to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority become The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. This was
the name approved by the Authority in 1997 and which had been agreed to by Ministry
staff at the time the City of Toronto Act was being drafted.
Unfortunately, those drafting the legislation deleted the use of the word THE and the official
name is simply Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.
RA TIONALE
While it may seem a minor problem, the Authority had proceeded to use The Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority in its publications, stationary etc. For legal documents, the
Authority uses the legal name Toronto and Region Conservation Authority which in effect
creates two standards. Staff recommend that, in accordance with the approved Authority
Resolution, the province be requested to amend the Conservation Authorities Act at the
earliest opportunity to insert the word "The" into the Authority's legal name.
The Authority, at its meeting #12/97 held January 30, 1998, approved Res. #A272/97;
"THA T the above-noted correspondence, dated January 19, 1998, from the
Township of Uxbridge be received;
AND FURTHER THA T this letter be forwarded to staff for review and further
report. "
May 8,1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/98 B135
The Township of Uxbridge has requested that the Authority consider the use of the name:
The Toronto and Regions Conservation Authority. This is inconsistent with the use of the
term Region as it is used among the other Authorities across the Province. The term Region
in our name and others, refers to a geographic and watershed based boundar.y, not a
political boundary. In our case, our name refers to the Region surrounding Toronto.
If the change were made to use municipal political boundary terms, the Townships of Mono
and Adjala-Tosorontio would be excluded. The use of an all inclusive name, The Toronto
and Regions and Townships Conservation Authority seems problematic.
Across the province, Region is generally used to indicate a geographic region as opposed to
a political boundary and further that our two Townships in the headwaters of the Humber
River would have to be recognized in our name if political boundaries are used to describe
our arE!a of jurisdiction. Therefore, staff do not recommend changing our name as requested
by the Township of Uxbridge.

RES. #847/98 - RULES OF CONDUCT
Secret Ballot Procedure. Report on alternatives to the use of a secret
ballot to elect Chairs/Vice Chairs of Authority, Boards and Executive
Committee.
Moved by: Maria Augimeri
Seconded by: John Adams
THE E>CECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the staff report dated April 28th. 1998,
on pos,sible changes to the Rules of Conduct concerning voting by secret ballot, be received.
AMENDMENT
RES. #848/98
Moved by: Maria Augimeri
Seconded by: John Adams
THAT the main motion be deleted and replaced with the following:
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Provincial Minister of Natural
Resouces be requested to recommend to Cabinet that the Conservation Authorities
Admini,strative Procedures Regulation, dated April 4, 1986, be amended to delete the
reference to voting by secret ballot;
AND FURTHER THAT Conservation Ontario and all other Conservation Authorities be so
advised. continued.. .
B136 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/98 May 8,1998
THE AMENDMENT WAS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Authority's Rules of Conduct are based on an administrative procedures regulation
approved by the Province in 1986. Section 11 of the regulation states:
Elections shall be held by secret ballot and no member may vote by proxy.
The Authority's voting procedures for the election of the Chair, Vice Chair, Chairs and Vice
Chairs of the Advisory Boards and the Members of the Executive Committee are governed
by this section.
In a briefing session for new members and at the Annual Meeting, there was discussion
about the use of an open ballot wherein the members would vote by written ballot which
would be tabulated and the vote of each member a matter of public record.
RA TIONALE
The use of an open ballot system is consistent with the practice of municipalities. Written
ballots are distributed and each member records in a manner acceptable to the clerk or
secretary, their vote or votes for a particular office. The ballots are collected and tabulated.
The Clerk or Secretary reads out the name of the Member and the candidate(s) for whom
that member voted.
The Provincial Minister of Natural Resources would have to agree to recommend to Cabinet
that the Administrative Procedures Regulation be amended to delete the reference to voting
by a secret ballot.
If the Executive Committee wishes to recommend to the Authority a change to the existing
procedure, staff should be directed by a specific resolution to seek approval of the Province
to make the necessary regulatory change.

RES. #B49/98 - TENDER OPENING SUB-COMMITTEE TENDER ES98-15
Tender for the supply of rental rates for Operated Heavy Construction
Equipment and Dump Trucks. The Tender Opening Sub-Committee
opened tenders for the supply of rental rates for operated heavy
construction equipment and dump trucks on April 3, 1998. The
tenders received were referred to staff for review and report.
Moved by: Lorna Bissell
Seconded by: Ron Moeser
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Watershed Management Division
utilize. as required, the services of Sartor and Susin Limited for the supply of operated
heavy .:onstruction equipment and dump trucks during 1998, they being the most
satisfactory and lowest overall quotation received:
AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized to use the attached list to select additional
equipment based on the next lowest tender if the need arises. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
This tender was publicly advertised in the Daily Commercial News and provided for the
supply of rental rates for operated heavy construction equipment and dump trucks to be
utilized by the Watershed Management Division in carrying out the 1998 work programs.
The tender selection process included a review of the prices submitted and an assessment
of previous performance in a number of areas; including, but not limited to, similar work
experience, workmanship and Health and Safety.
A total of 11 tenders were received and reviewed by staff.
The submission by Cormar Contracting contained a mathematical error and the correct unit
price is shown on the attached summary. The submission by Miele Enterprises showed
equipment incorrectly classified as per Ontario Standard Specification and has been
reclassified as shown. Our analysis of the quotations, which are attached for your
information, indicates that the submission from Sartor and Susin Limited is the most
satisfactory and lowest overall quotation received.
In the event that Sartor and Susin Limited cannot supply all our equipment needs during the
peak construction periods, we feel it would be prudent to be able to use the attached list to
select equipment from the company which provides the next lowest tender price. This will
be dep€'ndant on what-equipment is'specified and wIll' help ensure that equipment is always
available.

BACKGROUND
The Full Authority at its meeting held November 28, 1997, Meeting #10/97 adopted:
Resolution #A262/97
"THA T staff be authorized to represent Authority interests before the Ontario
Municipal Board Hearing on the referrals to the Nugget Construction Company
Limited proposed plan of subdivision, zoning by-law amendment and official plan
,amendment applications;
THA T the legal firm of Gardiner, Roberts be retained to provide legal representation
with respect to these matters;
THA T staff continue to pursue the resolution of Authority issues in cooperation with
relevant parties and/or participants prior to the Hearing;
AND FURIHER THA T .the..~wn.Qf~jax,.1.be~RegjGnal...Municipality of Durham and the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing be so advised."
Amendment
"'THA T paragraph three of the main motion be deleted and replaced with following:
THA T staff continue to pursue the resolution of Authority issues and interests,
relating to the flood plain, bank stability and the protection of ESA's in accordance
with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, with relevant
parties and/or participants prior to the Hearing;
AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to the Executive Committee the proposed
B148 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/98 May 8, 1998
Authority's position to be taken at the Hearing, should there not be any resolution of
the issues, or on the terms of the proposed resolution of the Authority's concerns."
Since the adoption of the above resolutions by the Authority, staff, with legal representation
by Gardiner, Roberts, have attended two Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) Prehearings. Staff
have met, on site and at meetings, on several occasions, with representatives from the
Town of Ajax, Nugget Construction and the Citizens for the Carruther's (an interest group
who have participant status at the OMB), in efforts of pursuing resolution of Authority
issues and interests.
We also identify that on two separate occasions, Nugget Construction, has initiated tree
cutting on site within the boundaries of the Carruther's Creek Forest Environmentally
Significant Area (ESA). The Town of Ajax By-law Enforcement Officer was made aware of
the tree cutting, on both occasions, and under the Region of Durham Tree By-law Act,
charges have been laid against Nugget Construction.
As recent as Monday May 4, 1998, a meeting was held with legal counsel and staff from
the TRCA, the Town of Ajax, and Nugget Construction. The meeting was held to discuss
the outstanding OMS issues prior to the Hearing date of June 1, 1998.
The following is a summary of the way in which TRCA issues will be addressed.
The Carruther' s Creek Forest Environmentallv Significant Area
Staff have reviewed the boundary of the ESA as established in 1982. Upon investigation
and given the long planning history for the site and the lack of recognition through policies
for the protection of the ESA within Municipal Planning documents of the time, it was
concluded by staff, that the ESA boundary could be adjusted while still maintaining the
significant attributes for which the site was identified.
On April 16, 1998, staff of the TRCA and the Town of Ajax, met on site with
representatives of Nugget Construction to stake and survey the limits of the boundary
which would allow the ESA features "and functions to be maintained. This boundary will
include a buffer function. The line was staked on tableland where a portion of the ESA had
previously been removed. It was noted that the portion of the ESA that would have been
included in the area to be protected, must be restored and rehabilitated.
At our meeting of May 4, 1998, staff identified to Nugget Construction that the proposed
plan of subdivision must reflect the staked line in the field and that all lots would be located
outside the adjusted ESA boundary. Further, the area that had been previously disturbed
and removed must be restored and rehabilitated to the satisfaction of the TRCA and the
Town of Ajax.
Regional Flood Plain and River Erosion
The regional flood line of the Carruther's Creek affects a portion of the proposed plan within
the medium density block; as well, the Carruther's Creek, in one instance, is coincident
with the toe of slope.
Previous environmental reports that have been reviewed and approved by Authority staff
identify poor fish habitat in this section of Carruther's Creek; however, a riparian zone is
required adjacent to the creek. Staff have, in the past, identified that an environmental
impact statement (EIS) is required for the site. This EIS must study the environmental
conditions on site and adjacent to the site and determine appropriate measures to maintain
May 8,1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/98 8149
and improve, if possible, the environmental conditions. This report must also address the
100 ye'ar river erosion rate at the coincident toe of slope and determine appropriate
setbacks to accommodate river erosion and bank stability. Further, this study must
determine an appropriate riparian zone for the Carruther's Creek. This work is not yet
complete.
In addition, a portion of the medium density block which is proposed for development
purposes, is located within the regional storm flood plain of the Carruther's Creek. It has
been identified to Nugget Construction that new development is not permitted within the
region211 storm flood plain. Permits under Ontario Regulation 158 have not been obtained
from this Authority to allow such development and therefore, the plan will require revision in
order to recognize the regional flood plain and stream corridor in this vicinity.
Therefore, once the EIS has been completed and all appropriate required buffers identified,
the plan and the site specific zoning must be revised to reflect these concerns.
With regards to both the ESA limit and the stream corridor limit, Authority staff have
identifil9d that those lands be set aside for public acquisition with either the Town of Ajax or
the TRCA through subdivision agreement. From our discussion, Nugget Construction has
agreed that those lands will be transferred to public ownership.
Storm water Management
For this reach of the Carruther's Creek storm water management is required for new
development. Criteria for storm water management includes quality and erosion control. In
order to meet this criteria a number of options are being investigated including both on and
off site measures, i.e. construction of a new storm water facility, retrofit of existing
downstream storm water facility, as well as lot level controls (roof leaders to lawn, rear yard
swales, etc.). Authority staff have identified that all storm water management measures
must be implemented outside the staked ESA boundary.
RA TIONALE
Authority staff must report to this Executive Committee Meeting as it is the last meeting
before the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing to be held June 1, 1998. Staff recognize that
all Authority interests and issues have not yet be~n completely addressed to our
satisfaction; however, from the above information provided, this is the status of the Nugget
Construction site, to date.
If the required information is received and approved by Authority staff prior to the June 1,
1998 OMB Hearing, and Nugget Construction revises all planning and development
documents accordingly, it is felt that the Hearing will not be required. Alternatively, if the
required information-dcres nC7t"'satisfy aU 'Authority issues-and interests, the Authority will be
present at the OMS Hearing on June 1, 1998, arguing the above issues as presented in this
report.
The Town of Ajax and the TRCA staff have been working closely in pursuit of resolving
similar Elnvironmental issues. Staff of the Town of Ajax are taking forward a report to their
Committee of the Whole on May 11, 1998. The content of that report is similar in content
to this Authority staff report.
B150 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/98 May 8, 1998
CONCLUSION
The three issues of concern to the Authority are:
1. Environmentally Significant Area;
2. Regional storm floo~ plain and riparian zone; and
3. Storm water management
Based on our field work, review of submitted documentation to date, and discussion with
Nugget Construction and the Town of Ajax, staff are prepared to settle our outstanding
issues as noted above as follows:
1. The ESA:
That all development be located outside the TRCA/Town of Ajax staked and surveyed ESA
line. That where the ESA has been disturbed and removed, that it be restored and
rehabilitated to the satisfaction of the TRCA and the Town of Ajax. And that the ESA be
placed in public ownership.
2. Regional Storm Flood Plain and Rioarian Zone:
That the applicant prepare and submit a satisfactory Environmental Impact Statement which
addresses protection measures for the Carruther's Creek stream corridor including the
regional storm flood plain, the 100 year river erosion rate, bank stability, and a sufficient
riparia.n zone for the river. The stream corridor should be appropriately recognized through
zoning and is recommended for public ownership. Development must be located outside' the
stream corridor. -
3. Storm water Management:
Storm water quality and erosion control measures must be implemented for the proposed
development and must be located outside the ESA.
Staff recommend that if agreement is reached with Nugget Construction on the resolution
of the Authority issues in accordance with the terms and conditions noted, the Authority
would withdraw from the appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board. Alternatively, should
these terms and conditions not be satisfactorily met, then the Authority will pursue its
interests through the Ontario Municipal B.oard on June 1, 1998, as directed by Res.
#A262/97, as amended.

May 8, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/98 B167
Proposal:
The proposal consists of placing fill material to correct an existing erosion scar along a
section of the Humber River valley wall. A wall of gabion baskets ranging in height between
1.8 m and 2.7 m will be constructed at the toe of the valley slope. the area behind the new
retaining wall will be backfilled to the original slope gradient. An existing apartment
complex is located on tableland adjacent to the valley wall; the proposed works have been
designed to prevent potential risk to the apartment building complex. In 1992, the
Executive Committee approved Permit C-92127 for similar slope stabilization work on this
property, immediately adjacent to the to the present proposal. The construction site is
situated within the Fill Regulated Area of the Humber River.

. Letter of Undertaking from Mr. Joseph Greck, Project Manager, Crestwood School;
dated April 29, 1998; received April 30, 1998.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal consists of placing fill to widen an existing roadway in order to redirect
vehicular traffic from the Glendon Campus of York University. The present access to and
from Lawrence Avenue East runs through the centre of the Crestwood School complex; this
right-of-way is owned by York University. Recently, there has been an incident where a
driver lost control and narrowly missed a group of Crest wood students; there have also
been similar incidents in the past. Presently, Mandrake Properties (the owner of Crestwood
School) is negotiating an alternate route to Lawrence Avenue East with York University
officials which would close the existing access road through the school property and
re-route traffic via an existing roadway to the west. Fill material will be required to widen
the western access to provide a two-lane road with a sidewalk.
The applicant also wishes to construct classroom additions to the existing school buildings.
The el')tire site is located within the Fill Regulated Area and Regional Storm flood plain of the
West Don River.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed construction will be located outside the hydraulic flood way (i.e., 100-year
storm flood plain), as determined by staff. A structural flood proofing analysis will be
submitted, outlining how the proposed school building additions will be protected against
the Regional Storm flood depth and velocity of flow.
Pollution:
Silt fencing will be installed between the edge of the existing western roadway and the
West Don River to impede the overland migration of construction-generated sediments.
Conservation of Land:
Since a portion of the western access road runs parallel to the watercourse, staff has
requested that additional erosion protection be installed along the stream bank at this
location, to provide long-term protection to the widened roadway. All disturbed portions of
riparian zone will be
revegetated with native plant material; other areas will be stabilized/sodded following
construction.

Consultant Selection. Hiring of a realty tax consultant to assist with a
review of all realty taxable Authority holdings to determine if the new
current value assessment attributed to the properties are fair and
reasonable, to assist with negotiation with the Assessment Offices for
reduction of assessed values and appeal any assessed values where
l1eg.otiations are unsuccessful.
Moved by: Jim McMaster
Seconded by: Maria Augimeri
THA T the firm of Yeoman & Associates Inc. be engaged to assist with a review of all realty
taxable Authority holdings, to assist with negotiation with the Assessment Offices and to
assist with any necessary assessment appeals to a limit of $10,000 plus G.S.T. and
expenses. .................................................. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Since the cancellation of the Conservation Land Tax Reduction Program for Conservation
Authorities in 1993 by the Province of Ontario, the Authority has actively appealed
assessments on a majority of taxable Authority owned lands. Through extensive
negotiations with Assessment Offices in the Regions of York, Peel and Durham the
Authority has achieved for the years 1994 to 1997 a reduction in taxes of approximately
$320.000.
With the introduction of Bill 106, the Fair Municipal Finance Act, 1997, and the province
wide re-assessment for 1998 there are a number of initiatives that affect taxation of
Authority lands. These are as follows:
8172 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/98 May 8, 1998
(a) Conservation Lands which are defined as provincially significant Wetlands,
provincially significant ANSI's, Niagara Escarpment Natural Areas and Habitat of
Endangered Species are now exempt from taxation. This change will have no impact
on the Authority's budget as we received a provincial grant in 1997 equal to 100%
of the taxes on these lands;
(b) Managed\Agreement Forest Lands as defined by a forest management plan approved
by the Ontario Forestry Association. In 1997 the Authority received a provincial
grant at a rate of approximately 40% of the taxes paid on these properties. While
the Authority will be taxed on these lands at 25% of the residential tax rate as
compared to 60% after grant in 1997, with new more stringent rules relating to land
that will eligible, we anticipate that not all land claimed in 1997 will qualify. Also,
because of the new rules, the Authority is required to prepare all new forest
management plans and to actively manage these properties which will be an added
expense;
(c) Farm Lands that are actively farmed by an eligible farmer will be taxed at 25% of the
residential tax rate for 1998. This will have no impact on the Authority's budget as
we received a 75% farm tax rebate in 1997.
We have been advised that the province wide re-assessment was done in a much shorter
period of time than most experts advised. As a result, there is a high potential for mistakes.
The new assessments were generated using computer models, which is fairly acute for
similar types of properties with large volumes of sales such as residential. As Authority
lands are unique, there is a high probability that there will be incorrect assessments.
The Authority has, since 1994, utilized Colt Consulting Group to assist the Authority in
obtaining assessment reductions. While the Authority has been successful in its appeals
with Colt Consulting Group, the Authority has had continuing problems obtaining
information in a timely fashion. Time is of the essence in future negotiations.
We understand that there may be an opportunity to have discussion with the Assessment
Offices prior to the July 31, 1998 appeal deadline, and where an agreement is reach the
assessment will be reduced without the Authority having to pay any appeal fee. Therefore,
it is important to undertake the necessary review of all our assessments in a timely manner.
Staff requested quotations from three firms on the following basis. Phase 1 is a review of
all new 1998 assessments. Phase 2 is negotiations with the Assessment Offices and Phase
3 is assessment appeals through the Assessment Review Board.

The Abe property is approximately 3 hectares in size and is located at the north east end of
Frenchman's Bay, south of Bayly Street. This portion of Frenchman's Bay is a Provincially
designated Wetland and has been established by the Authority as an Environmentally
Significant Area, No. 126, Frenchman's Bay Marsh. The subject property is entirely Fill
Regulated and partially within the regional storm floodplain associated with Frenchman's
Bay. The Pickering Official Plan designates the entire property as "Open Space" , and is
presently zoned residential with a "Hold" provision. The "Hold" provision restricts the
erection of a new building or structure on the lands until such time as it can be
demonstrated that such use can be permitted and the holding symbol is removed. As well,
the Region of Durham Official Plan also designates the property as -"Major Open Space".
The Abe's have appealed the Open Space designation as they feel it is inappropriate and
limits a residential land use.
Authority staff undertook a preliminary review of the site and its conditions and concluded
that thE!re is very little tableland available to support a residential land use. Therefore, staff
support the Open Space designation as identified by the Town of Pickering Official Plan.
8176 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/98 May 8,1998
Further, the owners have not, to date, undertaken the necessary technical studies to assess
development potential of the lands. Authority staff have entered into discussions with the
Abe's on the acquisition of the property. The site is recognized in the Authority's Master
Plan for Acquisition and technical staff have identified the site as a high priority for
acquisition along this section of the Waterfront. The property is currently for sale, and
there is a willingness by the owners to sell.
A5 - Mitchell Prooerty
The Mitchell Property is located east of Brock Road and north of Finch Avenue, adjacent the
West Duffins Creek. The site is partially Fill Regulated and partially within the regional
storm floodplain of the West Duffins Creek. As well, a portion of the Authority approved
Major Spinks Environmentally Significant Area (ESA) encroaches onto a portion of the site.
The Town of Pickering Official Plan recognizes the regional storm floodplain and ESA within
an "Open Space" designation. Authority staff support the designation as it appropriately
recognizes the natural heritage features and natural hazards. The Mitchell's have appealed
the designation as they feel it is inappropriate in extent.
The Mitchell property is one of a larger number of privately owned lands which is the
subject of a Town of Pickering initiated Master Environmental Servicing Study known as the
"Duffins Precinct". Authority staff hav~ participated in this Study which is now nearing
completion. The Study was to identify and assess the natural heritage and hazard features
of the study area and make recommendations for the protection and enhancement of the
natural features and their functions, establish those areas appropriate for development
purposes and deal with storm water management comprehensively. The Study appropriately
recognizes the regional flooaplain, the ESA and provisions for a buffer as pa rt of the Open
Space system.
Authority and Town of Pickering staff have had, without prejudice, discussions with the
appellants in an effort to better understand the reason for the appeal and to narrow and
resolve issues if possible. The appellants identified a lack of understanding of the study
process and requested further details. A copy of the final Study recommendations are to be
forwarded to the Mitchell's for their consideration so they can assess how the
recommendations would affect their proposed development concept.
A 1 and A2 - The Rouge-Duffins Wildlife Corridor
The location and boundary of the Rouge-Duffins Wildlife Corridor (Wildlife Corridor) as
designated in the Official Plan, as approved by Pickering Council, is the whole of the
southern Ontario Hydro Corridor which runs east-west from the Rouge River to the Duffins
Creek. Policies of the Official Plan recognize the Wildlife Corridor as Open Space and
provide for an increased awareness of this area and require that development to be setback
a minimum of -10metres.from the boundary.
The Wildlife Corridor functions as a significant vegetated connection providing for species
migration between the Rouge River and Duffins Creek valley systems. The corridor is a
natural linkage which provides nearly uninterrupted passage for various species. As this
east-west connection is located near the midpoint of a number of watercourses, it's location
strengthens the open space connection to the north and south through the watershed,s of
the Rouge River, Petticoat Creek and Duffins Creek, strengthening the environmental
connection of the headwater tributaries to Lake Ontario. This broadens habitat and can lead
to greater species survival.
- -- -- ---- --
May 8, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/98 B177
The appellant for the A 1 appeal is the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The nature
of the appeal is the inadequate recognition of the breadth of the Corridor. The position of
the Province is that the Official Plan policies should be revised to recognize an expanded
Wildlif,e Corridor boundary which the Province proposes to be the main Onta.rio Hydro
Corridor and expanded northward to the northern boundary of the Canadian Pacific rail
line/Interprovincial Pipeline, from the Rouge River to the Duffins Creek. The Province is of
the opinion that given the provincial investment in both the Rouge Park and the Altona
Forest" that the expanded Wildlife Corridor should be suitably recognized as it better
provides for the maintenance of the features and functions of the Corridor.
The appellant for the A2 appeal is Ms. Jocelyn Barber who owns property on Finch Avenue
situated within the expanded Wildlife Corridor as proposed by the Province. The nature of
Ms. Barber's appeal questions the need for the Open Space designation on her lands along
with both the expanded northern boundary of the Wildlife Corridor, and other open space
lands to the north.
Authority staff do not take issue with the location of the Wildlife Corridor as recognized in
the Official Plan as the open space designations within the Official Plan adequately provide
for the protection of the natural heritage features and natural hazards. However, staff also
support the Province's proposal for the recognition of an expanded Wildlife Corridor as this
designation would provide a greater recognition of the natural heritage and hazard features.
The additional greenspace north of the Ontario Hydro Corridor would only strengthen and
provi.de greater benefit to the north-south environmental linkage provided to the watersheds
which run through, and are connected, with the Wildlife Corridor.
RA TIONALE
The Ontario Municipal Board held a Prehearing Conference on April 1, 1998 on the Town of
Pickering Official Plan referrals. Authority staff attended and advised the Board of the
Authority's interests as they relate to the four specific referrals. Staff advised that we had
not yet received Authority direction on this matter, but were requesting participant status,
at this time, in order to reserve the opportunity for further involvement and input. We also
advised that we were participating in discussions with the Town of Pickering and the
appellants to narrow. and if possible, resolve the issues under appeal.
At the April 1, 1998 Prehearing Conference. the Board Chair assigned a Hearing date of
January 11, 1999. as well as two additional Prehearing Conference dates of September 14,
, 1998 to deal with Appeals A 1 and A2, and November 16, 1998 to deal with Appeals A5

RES. #B60/98 - 1998 LABORATORY ANALYTICAL SERVICES
This report advises on award of contract for the Laboratory Analytical
Services for the 1998 field programs.
Moved by: Jim McMaster
Seconded by: Maria Augimeri
THAT staff be directed to award Agra Earth and Environmental the contract for ITEM A and
ITEM B as outlined in the 1998 Laboratory Analytical Services ES98-14 contract document
for the amount of $20.437 (ITEM A) and $33,250.25 (ITEM B) GST included. .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Environmental Services Section" will require laboratory analytical services in support of
four major programs which are outlined as follows:
1. Since 1975, The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) has conducted
environmental monitoring programs to describe biological, physical and chemical
conditions in the vicinity of waterfront parks. Special studies have been conducted
to examine the sediment quality, water quality, sediment deposition rates, bottom
substrate documentation, biomonitoring surveys using freshwater clams and currents
.associated with the waterfront parks.
2. Laboratory testing of soil samples is required to audit the effectiveness of the
Lakefill Ouality Control Program (LOCP). Random soil sampling at all active lakefill
sites along the waterfront is a key component of the LOCP. The total soil sampling
and testing requirements is based on the volumes of lakefill received throughout the
year.
3. Soil and water analytical work will also be required in order to carry out site
assessments and site remediation work on various properties owned by the TRCA.
4. Water quality analysis is conducted under the Rural Clean Water Program to illustrate
the effectiveness of remedial measures that are implemented on rural lands. Where
possible, samples are collected prior to and after construction.

RES. #861/98 - 1998 ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL OF VEHICLES AND
EQUIPMENT
The 1998 acquisition and disposal of vehicles and equipment.
Moved by: Jim McMaster
Seconded by: Maria Augimeri
THA T staff be directed to take the appropriate actions for the purchase and disposal of
vehicles and equipment as set out in detail in this report. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Presently, the Authority has a fleet of 52 vehicles and 290 pieces of equipment. Vehicles
and equipment function under the Authority's Vehicle and Equipment Chargeback System.
The system functions where each vehicle and equipment is assigned an hourly or kilometre
rate for use and all expenditures related to vehicles and equipment ego purchases, fuel,
repairs,. parts, licenses are charged to the system. The system will pay for the acquisition of
replacement vehicles and equipment. The funds received from the disposal of vehicles and
equipment will be deposited back to this system. As of January 1, 1998, there is $427,644
in the Vehicle and Equipment Reserve. The 1998 budget is based on maintaining the
reserve the same by year end.
The Authority has a Vehicle and Equipment Committee consisting of staff who meets
formally five times a year. Committee members provide input towards the financial
statements, recommendations of acquisition and disposals, safety and clear air initiatives for
vehicles and equipment.
The acquisition of replacement and disposal of Authority owned vehicles and equipment is
included in the 1998 Budget which was adopted at Authority meeting #3/98. The disposal
of vehiGles and equipment is implemented in accordance with the Authority's Policy and
Procedures for Goods and Services and Disposal of Equipment upon the direction of the
B182 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #3/98 May 8, 1998
Executive Committee and Chief Administrative Officer.
This report provides the Board with information about the acquisition of replacement and
disposal of Authority owned vehicles and equipment in 1998.
ANAL YSIS
In accordance with the Authority's policy, staff (Vehicle and Equipment Committee) has
examined the need for replacement of Authority owned vehicles and equipment and new
equipment. Vehicles and equipment no longer required in one location are made available to
other locations prior to being considered for disposal. Staff has examined the optimal
manner for disposal of vehicles and equipment in compliance with the Policies and
Procedures for Disposal.
Replacement Vehicles
The replacement of vehicles is determined by the condition of the vehicle including the
mechanical fitness (cost/benefit of repairs), use of the vehicle, age and mileage or hours of
use. The vehicles which are being replaced have high mileage and wear.
In the past, replacement vehicle tenders included trade -in which was the most efficient and
cost effective method of disposing of the older vehicles. However, staff have reviewed the
trade-in method of disposal and have determined that based on various factors we
recommend that our vehicles be disposed through an auction. Staff are under the opinion
that we will receive higher prices for our used vehicles and improve the interest in our new
vehicle tenders.

SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION
RES. #B68/98 - TOWN OF AJAX
Request to release an easement in the Ravenscroft Road area, CFN
22370, Receipt of a request from the Town of Ajax to release an existing
Authority easement, for the access and maintenance of erosion control
works on the west side of Ravenscroft Road, north of Rossland Road West
in the Town of Ajax, Regional Municipality of Durham, Duffin Creek
Watershed.
Moved by: Ron Moeser
Seconded by: Maria Augimeri
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS the Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority is in receipt of a request from the Town of Ajax to release an
existing Authority easement for the purpose of access and maintenance of erosion control
work, Iclcated on their property, on the west side of Ravenscroft Road, north of Rossland
Road West, Town of Ajax, Regional Municipality of Durham;
AND WHEREAS it 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 Town of Ajax in this instance;
THAT the Authority will release its interest in the parcel of land containing 1.04 acres, more
or less, being Part of Lot 13, Concession 3, Town of Ajax, Regional Municipality of Durham,
designated as Part 1 on Plan 40R-5877;
THAT the Town of Ajax is to be responsible for payment of all legal and other costs
associated with the release:
THAT the said release of right-of-way is subject to obtaining the approval of the Minister of
Natural Resources, in accordance with Section 21 (2) of the Conservation Authorities Act,
R.S.O. '1990, Chapter C.27 as amended;
AND FLJRTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials are authorized and directed to take
whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of
necess,ary approvals and the execution of any documents. .................. CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The easement was granted to the Authority by a previous owner for the purpose of erosion
control and bank stabilization. The property is currently owned by the Town.
The Town of Ajax acquired the 23 acre property from Kennedy House Youth Services Inc. and
includes 11 acres of valley land. Through a land exchange agreement with Hi-Rise Structures the
Town acquired a 10 acre waterfront property from Hi-Rise Structures and agreed to convey the
12 acre table land portion of the property to Hi-Rise Structures for the purpose of the
development of a residential subdivision. The Townls agreement with Hi-Rise Structures
8200 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 June 12. 1998
requires that the easement in favour of the Authority be removed. The valley lands will remain in
public ownership.
The table land portion of the property is now the subject of a draft plan of subdivision application
submitted by Hi-Rise Structures as per the exchange agreement with the Town. The draft plan
has received Town approval and is currently being circulated for comments. The draft plan
indicates the public road network and the retained blocks will afford the Authority uninterrupted
access to the valley lands. As a result the easement is no longer required and staff are
recommending that it be released.
The Authority acquired the easement from Comsa Holdings Limited in July, 1982.
A plan illustrating this location is attached.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The Town of Ajax will be responsible for costs related to the release.

BACKG1ROUND
Resolution #A 131/95, Authority Meeting #4/95, May 26, 1995, approved the Greenspace
Protection and Acquisition Project 1996-2000.
Staff have had a number of meetings with officials from The Order of St. Basil the Great Holding
Company (The Order) regarding the potential acquisition of part of their holdings located on the
8216 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 June 12,1998
west side of Weston Road, south of Sheppard Avenue, in the City Toronto (former City of North
York) municipally known as 3100 Weston Road.
The area owned by The Order of St. Basil the Great Holding Company totals 74 acres more or
less and much of it is flood plain and valley lands including a 6.4 acre pond. Currently the
Toronto City Separate School Board operates a high school on the table land portion of the
property and has playing fields located in the valley floor adjacent to the school site. The
remaining valley lands are undeveloped although an informal trail does traverse the property.
It is proposed that the Authority acquire approximately 57.83 acres of vacant lands and The
Order retain approximately 16 acres. The 57.83 acre parcel is entirely flood plain and valley land.
In addition the Authority will acquire a permanent easement containing 0.45 acres (including 0.3
acres of table land) for the purpose of providing public and maintenance access to the valley
lands. The table land provides frontage on Weston Road and access to the valley lands along an
existing gravel road. Currently Authority forces are using this access to carry out regeneration
(erosion control) works to protect adjacent residential properties on Burgandy Court and Weston
Road. The Order granted the Authority a temporary working easement for $2.00.
Negotiations have been conducted with Donald V. Thomson, Walker Ellis, Barristers and
Solicitors, representatives of the owners.
The offer at hand is in accordance with the appraised value range of a independent evaluation
obtained by the Authority.
The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed the proposal and is in
concurrence with the purchase of the property.
Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands.
RATIONALE
The subject property is a strategic component of the greenspace system within the Mid Humber
Valley and the public acquisition of it will help achieve important flood control, environmental and
public open space objectives of the Authority' and the City.
The subject property falls within the Authority's approved master plan for acquisition. It is part of
the flood plain of the Humber River, is adjacent to other Authority and publicly owned lands and
the acquisition will help consolidate public ownership in this reach of the Humber River and
provide long term protection.
In addition, the acquisition of these lands would be a major step in enabling The City of Toronto
to construct a pedestrian and cycling trail, that would link its southern and northern trails,
thereby creating a continuous pedestrian trail along the Humber River from Lake Ontario to
Steeles Avenue.
Also, it is one of the parcels of land that the former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto identified
as being very important to their open space needs and had requested the Authority to attempt to
acquire.

BACKGROUND
Resolution #A131/95, Authority Meeting #4/95, May 26,1995, approving the Greenspace
Protection and Acquisition Project 1996-2000.
Negotiations have been conducted with the owner and his representative Mr. Melvin S. Winch of
Winch PI~ning & Development Services.
In 1997 Mr. Kojfman obtained a severance of his property at 41 Wentworth Avenue into three
lots. The severance was subject to three Authority conditions, one of which related to the
conveyance to the Authority of the valley lands. When Mr. Kojfman listed the lot he inadvertently
omitted reference to the valley land conveyance. Mr. Kojfman received an offer on one of the
lots, however it did not include the requirement to convey the valley lands to the Authority.
June 12. 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 8221
As Mr. Kojfman was concerned about losing this deal, he made the following proposal to the
Authority. He would use his best effort to secure the valley land portion of the property which
was subject to the offer. If he was unsuccessful in securing this property, he would convey to
the Authority the rear portion of his property at 47 Wentworth Avenue. Mr. Kojfman will also
convey the lands below top of bank on the two lots which have not been sold. There was no
requirement that these lands be conveyed for nominal consideration, however, Mr. Kojfman has
also agreed to convey the lands to the Authority for $2.00 plus ,?osts.
The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed the proposi;1l and is in
concurrence with the purchase of the property.
Attache!d is a plan showing, the location of the subject lands.
RATIONALE
The subject property falls within the Authority's approved master plan for acquisition for the Don
River.
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
The parcel being acquired will be turned over to the City of Toronto under the terms of the
existin~1 management agreement.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Fundin!~ for this acquisition will be charged to account 004-11-502.

from the City of Toronto to provide a permanent easement for the West
Don Sanitary Trunk Sewer, located on the east and west sides of Don Mills
Road, south of Overlea Boulevard, City of Toronto (formerly Borough of
East York).
Moved by: Ron Moeser
Seconded by: Maria Augimeri
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS the Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority is in receipt of a request from the City of Toronto to provide a
permanent easement for the West Don Sanitary Trunk Sewer, located on the east and west
sides of Don Mills Road, south of Overlea Boulevard, City of Toronto (formerly Borough of
East York);
AND WHEREAS it 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 City of Toronto in this instance;
THAT a permanent easement containing 0.096 hectares, more or less, (0.237 acres) be
granted to The City of Toronto for the West Don Sanitary Trunk Sewer, said land being Part
of Lot 6, Concession 3, From the Bay, City of Toronto, (formerly Borough of East York) and
designated as Pa,rts 1 and 2 on Plan 66R-17865 and Part 3 on Plan 64R-15840;
THAT consideration is to be the nominal sum of $2.00, plus all legal, survey and other
costs;
THAT said easement is subject to the approval of the Minister of Natural Resources in
accordance with Section 21 (2) of the Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter
C.27 as amended;
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
In 1959 the City of Toronto (formerly the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto) constructed the
West Don Sanitary Trunk sewer without the acquisition of an easement over lands owned by
Canadian Properties Limited. The trunk sewer also crossed Don Mills Road which at that time
was owned by the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. On December 5, 1963 the Canadian
Properties Limited.transferred the lands over which the sewer was built, to the Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto. Don Mills Road was relocated and the original road allowance was closed
and conveyed to the Authority on May 21, 1975. On July 7, 1980 the Municipality of Metropolitan
Toronto transferred the former Canadian Properties Limited property to the Authority. Both
transfers to the Authority were without an easement reservation.
June 12.1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 8225
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
considE!ration 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.
ANALYSIS
This grant of easement will formalize the City of Toronto'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 City of Toronto.
The City of Toronto will continue to be responsible for all maintenance and realty tax costs
associated with this property.

infrastructure works under the Canada/Ontario Infrastructure Work Program;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized to invoice the City of Toronto Parks
Department - Etobicoke and Metro Divisions for their respective share of the
design costs. "
Work to implement the Motel Strip Revised Project has proceeded since July 1996 in
accordance with the Park Plan and all conditions of approval of the Motel Strip Revised Project
(March 1993).
June 12. 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 8229
Under the Park implementation component of the Project, the following work will be completed
in 1998 within the project budget and estimated 1998 expenditure of $1.2 million:
. All shoreline protection and habitat elements as approved by the Department of Fisheries
and Oceans (i.e. habitat islands, wetland on Humber Bay East).
. A 2m wide pedestrian pathway at the water's edge.
. The two street-end lookouts.
. Pedestrian bridge connection from Humber Bay Shores to Humber Bay East across the
:stormwater management pond.
. The entire park top-soiled and seeded.
As part of the on-going implementation of the Motel Strip (Humber Bay Shores) Public Amenity
Area, the TRCA and the City of Toronto staff have worked together with the Park Plan consultant,
Hough Woodland Naylor Dance Limited to prepare a final design for the park and the
streetscape component of Waterfront Drive from Park Lawn Road to Palace Pier Court. This
work includes road construction, waterfront trail, street lighting, streetscaping and underground
utility distribution duct work. The City share of the work is being funded under the Canada
Ontario Infrastructure Work Program for the Etobicoke Motel Strip redevelopment.
Included in the de$ign is the construction of the portion of the Waterfront Trail and associated
street lighting from Palace Pier Court to the new Mimico Creek Bridge and Humber Bay Shores
Gateway (Lakeshore/Park Lawn).
It was fE!lt that there were significant cost savings and implementation efficiencies if the trail work
was tendered at the same time as the road work. There also existed a need to implement this
critical waterfront trail link at this time between the existing Humber River bridge and the new
Mimico Creek pedestrian bridge.
This part of the work is being funded by the Partners - TRCA and the City of Toronto under the
Lake Ontario Waterfront Regeneration Project 1995-1999 in the City of Toronto.
RATIONALE
The City of Toronto advertised for tenders for Contract EB9806RD for the construction of
Waterfront Drive from Park Lawn Road to Palace Pier Court.
Seven Tenders were received and opened on Wednesday May 20, 1998. The bids were
reviewed by City staff who will be recommending to Toronto City Council the award of contract
EB9806RD to Vaughan Paving as they being the low bidder.
Administration and Inspection of the Contract will be carried out by City of Toronto staff and co-
ordinated with TRCA site staff.
8230 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 June 12,1998
FINANCIAL DETAILS

The Au1hority received a request in April 1995, from Blau Autotec inc., indicating their interest in
acquiring a small fragment of Authority-owned t~leland at the rear of their property on Ortona
Court, City of Vaughan, Don River Watershed. This was the result of discussions between Blau
Autotec and TRCA staff regarding the resolution of outstanding fill violation numbers 1403 and
1404 and encroachment onto TRCA lands at the rear of 99 Ortona Court. The sale price is
supported by an independent appraisal.
At Meeting #4/95, dated June 2, 1995, the members of the Authority's Executive Committee
adopted the following resolution:
I~es. #E64/9S
THA T the potential disposal of a small fragment of land to an adjacent owner, Blau Autotec
Inc. of 99 Ortona Court, be referred to the Authority staff for review in accordance with
established Authority policies;
AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future
date recommending further action.
99 Ortona Court is now occupied by Innotherm. Innotherm and Blau Autotec, the former
occupants of the property are both part of the Tesma International Inc. Group, which is part of.
Magna Internationl\il. They have restored the disturbed valley lands to the satisfaction of the
Authority. However, the outstanding encroachment (asphalt paving) still exists on the tableland
portion of the Authority's property.
Staff are recommending that the lands shown on Figure 1 are surplus to the Authority's needs.
Tesma has indicated that they are only interested in acquiring the area connected with their
encroachment as shown on Figure 2. The Authority has an offer from Wheelwright Investments
limited for the balance of the surplus lands, which, is subject of another report.
This parcel is part of a much larger area acquired by the Authority during December, 1986 from

June 12,1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 8259
Prooosial:
The applicant is proposing to construct a pool and a 0.6 m high retaining wall on the tableland at
the real' of his property on Rouge Hills Drive. The site is fill regulated and overlooks the wetland
at the mouth of the Rouge River. The rear yard slopes gently for approximately 20 metres from
the pool site down to the top of the valley bank. There is a small vegetated ravine approximately
2 metres deep and 10 metres wide on the north side of the property.
Control of Floodinc:
, The works are not in the flood plain and will not affect the control of flooding.
Pollution:
There is little risk of pollution from the construction as the Rouge Marsh is more than 50 metres
away; however, a sediment fence will be erected between the grading and slope to control
construction access and prevent sediment from being transported down the valley slope.
Conservation of Land:
The pool is proposed to be setback 20 metres from the edge of the top of the valley slope at the
rear of the property; however, the pool will be within 4 metres of the edge of the small ravine and
the retaining wall within 2 metres. A geotechnical assessment was undertaken and staff are
satisfied that the existing ravine slope is stable and the works will not cause instability. The
ravine is well vegetated, and the grades between the retaining wall and the ravine slope will not
be altered,
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 (E) Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures.

Project No. 97072 prepared by Insite Landscape Architects dated June 2,1998.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
The applicant proposes to regrade an existing modified valley sideslope in order to construct a
new acc:ess road and hospital expansion partially within the Fill Regulated Area. The slope was
modified in 1973'when the existing hospital building and parking facilities were constructed. The
new grading scheme calls for additional changes to the slope in order to construct the roadway
access which will run parallel to the valley along the slope. The road is required in order to
provide a secondary access to the hospital site, A short retaining wall will be constructed to
support the roadway and to limit/minimize intrusion into the valley. The wall will be shielded with
proposEld plantings being conducted in accordance with detailed planting plans provided by the
applicant.
Council of the Town of Richmond Hill has resolved that the works should be undertaken as
proposed with this application, given that the hospital expansion is critical to the health and well
being of the communities within the Town of Richmond Hill.
Control of Floodinc:
There will be no impact on the control of flooding as the works are beyond the flood plain.
Pollution:
In support of the proposal a new stormwater scheme is being conducted which will improve the
quality of drainage from the site. A storm sceptor is proposed which will treat storm drainage
prior to lentering the watercourse.
Conservation of Land:
The proposal is adjacent to the Pioneer Park Restoration Project being conducted by the TRCA
and Town of Richmond Hill Parks Department. Pioneer Park calls for extensive improvements to
the adjacent valley system to meet current stormwater objectives for the upstream drainage area
and to increase the terrestrial and aquatic health of the valley system. As part of this work the
Town of Richmond Hill has provided assurances that a proper rehabilitation scheme will be
implemented to improve the vegetative communities directly adjacent to the hospital project.
Policy Guidelines:
The works are not in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program however, given the adjacent valley is to be rehabilitated through the Pioneer Park
Project, a net environmental benefit will result in the longer term.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
In order to provide a service entrance which is a secondary access to a proposed commercial
development, the applicant is proposing to construct a driveway through the flood plain. The
corridor is not fill regulated.
Control of Floodino:
The site of the driveway is at the fringe of the flood plain crossing through a backwater area
behind Frontenac Road. The depth of flooding is a maximum of 0.5 metres and the velocities
are low. We are working with the applicant to minimize the amount of fill along the driveway to
minimize the loss of flood storage, while still providing safe access between the existing adjacent
road and the site. Frontenac Road, adjacent to this driveway access is also in the flood plain.
All other structures for the proposed commercial development are outside of the Regional
Storm Fiood Plain. The main access to the building is provided to the north of the proposed
commercial building and accesses Frontenac Road outside of the flood plain.
Pollution:
A sediment fence will be installed along the development limit in order to protect the
watercourse and riparian area. A downstream pond will be retrofitted by the developer in co-
operation with the Town of Markham to treat this site and an additional 25 hectare drainage area.
8268 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 June 12.1998
Conservation of Land:
The stream corridor and watercourse has been altered through this site in the past in compliance
with the recommendations of the Brown's Corners Master Drainage Plan. In discussions through
the site plan application process, which is nearing completion, it was agreed that the minimum
corridor width should not be less than 30 metres from the watercourse. The development limit
meets this criteria. In addition, the existing corridor is an old field habitat with little woody
vegetation. Through discussions, the developer has agreed to renaturalize the stream corridor
and this will be a condition of site plan approval.
Policv Guidelines:
Staff are recommending approval of this proposal based on the following rationale:
- The 30 metre riparian area which currently has very little woody vegetation will be planted
and enhanced with native woody species.
- The site development will provide for water quality treatment for sites that are currently
untreated.
- Although this particular site is undeveloped, it is one parcel in a larger commercia]
development that has development limits already approved through the planning
process.
- Impacts on the control of flooding from the loss of flood plain storage will not be
significant as the amount of filling will be minimized.
- The service entrance is not required to access the site in a flood event and in this regard
safe access is provided by the main entrance. The remainder of the development is
outside of the flood plain.
The proposal would result in a net benefit to the watershed with no significant impacts to the
corridor or risk from flooding.

June 12. "1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 8269
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosC!!.:
In coop.~ration with the Region of York who is initiating the construction of a road widening, the
developer of the lands on the west side of Woodbine Avenue is proposing to replace two
culverts which convey Carlton Creek and Applewood Creek under Woodbine Ave. On Carlton
Creek there will be a box culvert imbedded in the substrate. On Applewood Creek there will be a
2250 mrn concrete pipe.
Control of Floodinc:
The culvert on Carlton Creek will allow the passage of flood flows without increasing upstream
flooding. The development limit of a proposed residential subdivision up stream of the culvert is
based on the Regional Storm flood line. In order to straighten the rear lot lines there will be
some minor regrading at the flood plain edge. The flood storage will be incrementally balanced.
The upstream drainage area above the culvert for Applewood Creek has been altered in the
past, and will be taken up into the storm sewer system. Quantity control will be achieved
through a proposed storm pond which will be the subject of a future permit application.
Pollution:
The culvert replacements will be undertaken in the dry to prevent sediment from entering the
watercourse.
Conservation of Land:
Carlton Creek is permanently flowing at this location and is a cold water fishery downstream.
The watl3rcourse at this site provides cool water fish habitat. The culvert and watercourse
upstream will allow for fish passage and will provide or replace on-site fish habitat. The details of
this are still being discussed. The proposal has been referred to the Department of Fisheries and
Oceans for Authorization. Adjacent the watercourse there are no other significant resource
features on this site. Staff are requiring enhancement of the riparian zone and any other
disturbed areas.
Applewood Creek is intermittent at the culvert location, has been eliminated upstream in the past
and is piped downstream. There is no fish habitat on site and no other natural resource features.
Authorization is not required from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for this culvert.
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.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prooosal:
An existing leg of the regional trail system in Glen Rouge Park within the Rouge River valley is
being threatened by some stream bank erosion. The City of Toronto is proposing the relocate
the trail away from the watercourse to the extent possible, and undertake approximately 40
metres of stream bank protection works. The works will involve grading back the bank, placing
stone protection aJ1d planting. The design will allow for access down to the water at this point in
the trail. The trail could not be entirely relocated because of a coincident valley slope.
Control of Floodino:
The works will not alter the flooding characteristics of this reach.
Pollution:
For the most part the works are outside of the water, and the construction will be done from the
top of the bank. However, the watercourse will have to be crossed several times to move
materials and equipment around. This aspect of the work is still under discussion. One of two
methods will be used: a plank bridge will be provided or a stone ford will be used. Either of
these methods will reduce the amount of sediment entering the watercourse.
Conservation of Land:
Authority, MNR and City staff agreed on an acceptable new trail alignment that minimized loss of
significant vegetation. It is staff's opinion that the bank work will not adversely affect fish habitat;
however, the plans have been forwarded to the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans for
authorization. The design includes a series of root wades to enhance fish habitat. In addition,
the construction will be done within the appropriate construction window for warm water
fisheries.
Policy Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 3.3 (B) Polices and Procedures for Identifying Watercourses and
Alterations.

RATIONALE
The application w~ reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal consists of placing fill material for lot grading and installation of site servicing as
. part of the development of a multi-unit townhouse development (Montreaux Townhomes). The
design and details of the site servicing are being dealt with through planning approvals. The
subject property is located within a spill zone of the German Mills Creek under Regional Storm
conditions; only the eastern half of the lands are situated within the Fill Regulated Area.
Control of Floodinc:
In the early 1980's a permit was approved for channel works and filling in the flood plain to
contain the spill from the German Mills Creek through this reach. The channel works are
completed; but as development comes forward each proponent is required to place fill on their
properties outside of the chanliel block to the approved grades of 300 millimetres above the
Regional Storm flood elevation. The submitted drawings confirm the 300 millimetre freeboard
allowance above the flood plain.
A bridgE! crossing to provide access east of the stream is also proposed; however, there are
several outstanding issues regarding the design of this structure and approval for this part of the

RES.#B81 /98 - CHANGES TO EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PERSONNEL POLICY #10,
WORKERS' COMPENSATION
Changes to the Authority's policy on Workers' Compensation to reflect the
new name of the board and to eliminate the salary top-up to recipients of
Workers' Compensation benefits.
Moved by: Ron Moeser
Seconded by: Michael Di Biase
THAT Employee Benefits Personnel Policy #10, Workers' Compensation be amended to
reflect the name change from the Workers' Compensation Board to the Workplace Safety
and Insurance Board;
AND FURTHER THAT the salary top-up to 100% of an employee's pre-injury salary provided
by the Authority be eliminated . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In late 1997 the name of the Worker's Compensation Board was changed to the Workplace
Safety and Insurance Board. Our policy should reflect that change.
Under our existing policy the Authority, as is common practice in many jurisdictions, provides a
salary top-up to Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) recipients bringing the benefit to
100% of pre-injury ,earnings for the first six months of the injury. After the first six months the
employee receives only the.WSIB entitlement.
Benefits received from WSIB are non-taxable. In effect employees, while in receipt of WSIB
benefits for the first six months, receive 100% of salary plus the tax savings on the 90% WSIB
benefit. The top-up, in addition to the non-taxable status of WSIB benefits enhances the
employe!e's pre-injury earnings and can be seen as a disincentive to return to work as quickly as
possible. In January, 1998, the WSIB reduced benefits from 90% to 85% of pre-injury earnings.
Even at the 85% level, employees who earn $40,000.00 per year or less receive an enhanced
benefit due to the top-up and the non-taxable status of WSIB benefits. For these reasons and in
the interest of equity we recommend that the top-up to WSIB benefits be eliminated.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Although the Authority's WSIB claims experience is very good, this policy change will encourage
a speedy return to work. In the long run savings will accrue.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Communicate the policy change to all employees.

RES. #882/98 - CHANGES TO PERSONNEL POLICIES #9, TRAVEL EXPENSES; #10,
USE OF AUTHORITY VEHICLES; #10A, USE OF PERSONAL VEHICLE
FOR AUTHORITY BUSINESS
To update the travel and vehicle use policies to reflect the taxable benefit
requirement for personal use of Authority vehicles and to clarify
acceptable uses of Authority vehicles and uses of personal vehicles for
Authority business.
Moved by: Ron Moeser
Seconded by: John Adams
THAT Personnel Policies #9, Travel Expenses; #10, Use of Authority Vehicles; #10A, Use
of Personal Vehicle for Authority Business be approved. .................... CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Authority's travel expense and vehicle use policies are out of date and must be adjusted to
clarify acceptable uses and to ensure compliance with Revenue Canada's requirements for
calculation of the employee's taxable benefit for personal use of Authority vehicles. Our policies
were reviewed by Runzheimer Canada, vehicle and fleet management specialists, who gave the
opinion that our policies needed updating and clarification.
Draft policy 9, Trav.el Expens~s, contains only one minor adjustment in item (3) where $2,SOO.00
is established as the upper limit for travelling expenses before approval of the Executive
Committee is required. The current policy is vague and refers only to "approved budget
limitations" .
Draft policy 10, Use of Authority Vehicles is new in its entirety. It outlines the criteria for
determining eligibility for use of an Authority vehicle, states that personal use of an Authority
vehicle is deemed a taxable benefit by Revenue Canada, and requires that employees using an
Authority vehicle for personal use outside our Watersheds must pay to the Authority the
established per kilometre rate for that personal use.
Draft policy lOA, Use of Personal Vehicle for Authority Business has been revised. The revised
policy olJtlines reimbursement for authorized use of a personal vehicle for business purposes,
clarifies that personal vehicle travel does not include the daily distance from the employee's
residence to their assigned work location and directs that employees who are temporarily
reassigned to a new work location will not be reimbursed for travel expenses from their
residence to the new work location. Policy lOA as revised also provides that employees who
consistently travel in excess of 8,000 kilometres per on Authority business may be eligible for a
flat monthly allowance rather than the prevailing per kilometre rate. Each such case will be
reviewed on the basis of the particular circumstance of use. In revising the policy we are
recommending the elimination of the requirement that employee's who are authorized to take an
Authority vehicle home pay to the Authority $0.06 per kilometre for the distance travelled
between their work location and their place of residence. Amongst the municipalities we
surveyed, none required reimbursement from the employee. In 1997, the reimbursement
amounted to $7,723.00. As of January of this year SO% (6 of 12) of the employee's who were
authorized to take Authority vehicles home have indicated that they will no longer do so. Thus
the $7,7:23.00 reimbursement will be reduced by half or more for 1998.
8276 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 June 12,1998
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The loss of approximately $3,800 in employee reimbursements for personal use of Authority
vehicles will be offset through lower mileage use on a number of our vehicles.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Communication to all employees informing them of the policy changes.

BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #3/98 held April 24, 1998, Resolution #A76/98 was adopted:
"THA T the party status before the Ontario Municipal Board on referrals made by the
Morningside Heights Landowners Group related to the City initiated and private Official
Plan Amendments in the City of Toronto (Scarborough) be authorized;
THA T staff continue to pursue the resolution of Authority issues and interests in
cooperation with the City of Toronto and other relevant parties and/or participants prior to
the Hearing;
AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to the Authority on the status of discussions and
seek further direction prior to the Prehearing Conference scheduled for July 2, 1998."
STATUS UPDATE
Since the adoption of the ab'ove resolution by the Authority, staff have had several meetings with
the City of Toronto staff, and representatives of the landowners group in efforts of pursuing
resolution of Authority issues and interests. The previous staff report to the Executive Committee
summarized the key issues and identified related Authority interests. The issues being:
Transportation, Morningside Tributary Subwatershed Study, and Land Use. This staff report will
identify the current status of the key issues to date.
June 12; '998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 8281
TransPCiftation
We bring to your attention that the Regions of York and Durham have made requests to the
Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) for the consolidation of OPA 990 and 722, the North East Roads
Study, and the East Metro Transportation Corridor. To date the OMB has not made a decision
on consolidation of official plan amendments for the north-south transportation corridor linking
Highways 401 and 407. In fact, the OMB has identified that they will not make a decision on the
issue of consolidation until the week of July 13, 1998 which is t~e postponed date for the
Consolidation hearing.
The issue with regards to the transportation corridor is that the Regions of York and Durham
want to safe guard a link from east Toronto to the 905 area. Should the position of the Province
be upheld that, no new roads shall be constructed through the Rouge Park, the Regions of York
and Durham feel it is appropriate that the Morningside Heights area provide such link.
The Ontario Municipal Board has requested that all parties consider this issue and work toward
resolution. The progress or the outcome will then be considered by the Board at the
Consolidation Hearing.
The Authority supports the Rouge Park Management Plan objectives; and therefore, staff would
support the position of no new roads through the Rouge Park. With regard to a potential
transportation corridor alignment through the Morningside Heights area, Authority concerns
relate to potential environmental impacts associated with the location and design techniques of
any related road crossings of the Morningside Creek or its tributaries and associated natural
features,
Morninaside Tributarv Subwatershed Study
Authority staff interests with regard to the Subwatershed Study in relati,on to the referrals are to
ensure tl1at the final recommendations are implemented through the planning and development
proposals and are in compliance with Authority policy and criteria as set out in the Valley and
Stream Corridor Management Program.
Staff of the City of Toronto have been given direction through Scarborough Community Council,
meeting held May 28, 1998, to proceed with Phase 3, the Implementation Plan for the
Subwatershed Study. Phase 2 and Addendum received Community Council endorsement at the
meeting May 28, 1998.
Followin!~ the February 20, 1998 Pre hearing Conference, Morningside Heights Landowners
Group (Landowners group), have held private discussions with Save the Rouge Valley System
Inc. (SRVS) and have prepared an agreement in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU). This agreement was presented to Community Council on April 1 , 1998. The MOU was a
modified position by both the Landowners group and SRVS.
In essence the MOU specifies areas to be protected and regenerated, and requires specified
stormwater management techniques. The MOU also provides for a transportation corridor in the
form of an arterial road, adjacent the railway tracks.
Authority staff have met with the Landowners group and staff of the City of Toronto to discuss the
recommendations of the MOU and where additional technical studies and/or revisions to the
plan may be required to satisfy Authority issues and conform with the Subwatershed Study. The
MOU is attached for your information.
-
8282 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 June 12. 1998
The key findings which support the Subwatershed Study and satisfy Authority issues are: the
creation of a corridor on Morningside Tributary and dedication of these lands to the City,
dedication of the woodlot on site to the City, and the dedication of a corridor on the Neilson
Creek and on the Pitchfork Tributary.
However, the MOU reduces some of the corridor widths to less than the subwatershed study
recommendations. Portions of the Morningside corridor widths are proposed to be reduced
from 100 metres to 80 metres, but an additional 20 metres will be deeded adjacent the top of
bank to the Rouge River. This additional 20 metres fulfills a Rouge Park Management Plan
objective; however, it must be determined whether the proposed 80 metre corridor is justified in
light of the 100 metre Subwatershed study recommendation.
The MOU identified only a 20 metre corridor on the Neilson Creek. Authority floodplain mapping
identifies a regional floodplain on Neilson Creek in excess of 90 metres wide. Staff have
recommended that this corridor width be enlarged to meet VSCMP objectives.
The MOU identifies stormwater management practices that are consistent with those of the
Subwatershed study. Staff are working closely with City staff as well as representatives for the
Landowners group to complete remaining technical studies that are required to enable both
Authority and City staff to recommend approval of the stormwater management concept. The
key issues related to these technical studies are downstream erosion and the
removal/modification of the current operation of the existing diversion structure on the
Morningside Tributary.
The MOU also contains an undertaking to implement the Subwatershed study in the form of a $1
Million Trust Fund for regeneration of the Morningside Tributary in the Morningside Heights.
Such a fund will greatly assist the implementation process. The proposal also shows linkages
which provide walking trail access throughout the area. These linkages support subwatershed
objectives.
In conclusion, the MOU is largely consistent with the recommendations of the Morningside
Tributary Subwatershed Study Phase 2 and Addendum, with some technical issues which still
need to be addressed. Of interest however, is that the MOU hinges on approval of a residential
land use. If the final decision on land use is something other than residential, ie. uphold current
designation of industrial, the MOU will not be carried out to its fullest. Therefore, the
recommendations of the Subwatershed study will govern.
With the Community Council approval on the Phase 2 and Addendum, and their approval to
proceed to Phase 3, Implementation, Authority staff will continue on the Steering Committee for
the Subwatershed Study and work towards its completion and implementation.
Land Use
At Scarborough Community Council, meeting held May 28, 1998, the issue of land use within the
Morningside Heights area was discussed. The decision of Community Council is as follows:
Executive Residential east of the Morningside Tributary and Employment (industrial) west of the
Morningside Tributary. Decision on land use east of Staines Road is deferred until all technical
information has been satisfied with regard to the diversion structure. Community Council
requested more information and a definition on "Executive Housing and Employment". Further,
the transportation corridor link through Morningside Heights was not supported. Toronto City
Council will consider the Community Council decision at its meeting on June 3, 1998.
June 12. '1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 - 8283
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
At this point in time, staff is not recommending that legal counsel be retained. It is
recommended that staff be directed to continue to pursue resolution of issues in cooperation
with the City, the Morningside Heights Landowners Group and other relevant parties and to
continue with regards to the implementation phase of the Subwatershed study. Staff will report
back to the Authority for further direction prior to the September 14, 1998 Prehearing
Conference date.

date an order of the Board is issued in respect of such appeal.
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
14. The Parties recognize that this Memorandum was initially drafted in non-binding form,
and converted to a binding agreement on short notice. Therefore, the degree of
specificity which would normally be found in a legal agreement is not included here.
The parties nave therefore agreed that they will work cooperatively, in good faith, and
with due diligence, towards concluding a superceding legal agreement ("the
Agreement"), which will carry forward, expand upon and detail the principles
contained in this Memorandum. Once executed, the Agreement will entirely
supercede this Memorandum, and will be registered against the title to all of the i
Owners' lands in Momingside Heights.

However, the Parties have already agreed that the Agreement will provide that:
15.1 the momes in the Fund are to be used only within Morningside Heights;

enhancement, regeneration and re-naturalization of the Features;
15.3 the Fund can be augmented by monies from sources other than the Owners;

15.5 the Fund will be administered by a registered charity, governed initially by a
board of trustees which will have five members: three appointed by SRVS and
two appointed by the Owners.
16. It is the intention of the Parties that the lands containing the Features will be conveyed,
voluntarily and free of charge, to either the City, the Toronto Region Conservation
Authority, or such other appropriate entity as the City and the Owners agree upon. The
recipient of the conveyance must be prepared to agree to and permit the preservation,
enhancement and renaturalization of the Features provided for in this Memorandum.
The Parties acknowledge that such voluntary conveyance is substantially in excess of
any conveyance that could be required as a condition of planning approvals.
17. The Owners will approach the owner of the VS Property with a view to acquiring it for
the purpose outlined in s. 12.6.1'and s. 12.7, above. The Owners will negotiate the
potential purchase in good faith and with due diligence, but shall not be required to
pay a price in excess of that which, in their sole judgment, exceeds the fair market
value of the VS property.
18. SRVS will not oppose approval of an arterial road which is generally located and
configured in accordance with one of Alignment -A- or ..S- of the -Link- depicted on
Schedule - N attached hereto, provided that, first, such road will not be a controlled

for a crossing of the Creek.
19. SRVS will not oppose the Owners' appli"cation for an amendment to the Official Plan
of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, a copy of which application, without .
schedules thereto, is attached hereto as Schedule "B-.

BACKGiROUND
The TRCA currently has in storage approximately 27,000 Kilograms of PCB waste. The PCB's
were inherited mainly through property acquisitions, and the TRCA is intending to permanently
dispose of the waste. The PCB waste is in storage at the following Authority owned properties;
Petticoclt Creek CA, the Don Valley Brickworks, the former Domtar property and the former
Arsenal Lands. The Authority proposes to reduce its liability by properly removing and disposing
the PCB wastes from public parks. In addition, the Canada-Ontario Agreement (COA) respecting
the Great Lake Ecosystem targets the destruction of 50% of all PCB wastes by the year 2000.
This work exceeds the COA target.
Nine contractors obtained quotation packages for the removal and disposal of polychlorinated
biphenyls(PCB's), and five quotations were received.
RATIONALE
Quotations were advertised for the removal and disposal of PCB waste on a unit price
basis(pl'ice/kilogram). Quotations were received and opened on May 29, 1998 and are
summarized on schedule A (attached). Staff reviewed the quotations and all were submitted in
accordance with the quotation document with the exception of PCB Disposal Inc. who requested
additiohal costs over and above the unit prices quoted. Their total package price was adjusted
accordingly.
The estimated weight of PCB waste was determined from staff and contractor estimates. Based
on the estimated weights and the quoted unit prices, the total package prices including GST are
as follows:
Green-Port Environmental $63,254.83
PCB Disposal Inc. $70,106.67
Proeco Corporation $63,733.00
Sanexen Environmental $57,404.13
TS Environmental $'89,464.76
Staff have reviewed the lowest quotation from Sanexen Environmental Services and have
determined that they are licensed and qualified to undertake the work described in the quotation
packag'e. Therefore, staff recommends that lowest quotation received from Sanexen
Environmental be awarded the contract.
FINANCIAL DETAILS

RES. #B88/98 - ACQUISITION OF A FOUR WHEELED DRIVE BACKHOE LOADER
The acquisition of a four wheeled drive backhoe loader.
Moved by: Maria Augimeri
Seconded by: John Adams
THAT tender ES 98-28 for one four wheeled drive backhoe loader be awarded to B. E.
Larkin Equipment Limited for the total sum of $95,565, it being the lowest tender received
and meeting the specifications. ........................................ CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Authority's Policy and Procedures for the Acquisition of Goods and Services and Disposal of
Equipment requires the Executive Committee approval for selection of successful tenders for
acquisitions between $25,000 and $100,000.
ANALYSIS
The Conservation Service's group has rented a four wheeled drive backhoe loader on a mon~hly
rental since 1994 for landscaping, erosion control and trenching work. Since 1994, the
requirement for this type of machine has increased and presently the Authority has been renting
a machine since April of 1997 to present. A business case has been presented and evaluated by
members of the Vehicle and Equipment Committee and senior staff of the Authority to determine
the justification of the acquisition. It has been determined that rather than rent, the best option
was to acquire a machine. To proceed with this acquisition there were revisions to the 1998
Acquisition and Disposal of Vehicles and Equipment communication which was approved at the
Executive meeting # 3/98. The acquisition of a crewcab truck, treespade and outfront mower
will be deferred. Staff has determined through experience working with the various
manufacturer's of backhoes loaders that the Case and Caterpillar manufacturers were the best
machines suited for the type of work required. Due to the manufacturer dealer's selling territory,
tenders were sent to only three dealers.
June 12,1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 8299
The me!mbers of the Tender Opening Sub-Committee opened tenders for the four wheeled drive
backhoe loader on May 29,1998. The tenders received were referred to staff for review and

8300 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 June 12. 1998
ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the requirements for the grass cutting operations in the East Zone
Conservation Areas. The East Zone has responsibilities of grass cutting approximately 285 acres
(80 acres at Bruce's Mill CA, 75 acres at Petticoat Creek CA acres and 110 acres at Greenwood
CA and Rotor Property In 1997, the East Zone has decided that the majority of grass cutting will
be completed by the rotary type mowers rather than reel type mowers. With the added
requirement to grass cut an additional 20 for the new driving range at Bruce's Mill Conservation
Area, staff has requested the replacement of the Ford 3930 tractor and Ransome gang reel
mower and to be replaced with a self-propelled rotary mower. This new rotary mower has been
selected for its productivity, versatility, mobility, labour, cost and time efficiencies to complete
work. Staff had demonstrations by various suppliers of large scale rotary mowers and
recommend that the Toro Grounds master 580-D had met all the requirements. Also, references
were checked. Under the Policy and Procedures for the Acquisition of Goods and Services and
Disposal of Equipment, it requires that tenders be sent to suppliers. Staff contacted Toro head
office and found there was only one distributor of this machine in Ontario. Also, other Toro
dealers stated they would not quote on that specific machine. Thus, only one tender was sent
out requesting a quotation for the acquisition and delivery of one new Toro Groundsmaster 580-
D Self Propelled Rotary Mower to Bruce's Mill Conservation Area.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Funds for the acquisition of the Toro Groundsmaster 580-D Self Propelled Rotary Mower are
available from account 701-11-405. The disposal of the Ford 3930 tractor (C1 005) and Ransome
gang re~1 mower (C 3010) will be advertised and sold and funds credited to account 701-11-094.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Staff will proceed to acquire the Toro Groundsmaster 580-D Self Propelled Rotary Mower and
dispose of the Ford 3930 tractor and Ransome gang reel mower.

sedimentation analysis of Ashbridge's Bay Park and Coatsworth Cut shoreline section,
under the "Lake Ontario Waterfront Regeneration Project 1995-1999", at a total estimated
cost of $40,000.
RATIONALE
Invitations were sent to three coastal engineering firms to complete the study of Coatsworth Cut
sedimentation/Ashbridge's Bay park shoreline stability. The proposals received are as follows;
Total cost (incl. GST)
W. F. Baird & Associates, Coastal Engineers Ltd. $ 37,285
'Shoreplan Engineering Limited $ 31,993
MacViro Co.nsultants Inc. $ 37,289
Shoreplan Engineering Limited submitted an optional work program to review the underwater
conditions for an extra cost of $ 5,350 (incl. GST) which would bring their total to $37,343.
A suggested schedule and completion date was provided in the Terms of Reference and all
agreed to this schedule. A total budget was set at $35,000.
The proposals were evaluated based on the f~lIowing criteria:
. study team expertise, qualifications and experience in coastal numerical modelling
. methodology and proposed coastal numerical models to be used for the analysis
. understanding of the scope of work
. quality of the proposal
Shoreplan's approach to the study did not include any detailed numerical modelling. It was
deemed that this approach did not meet the intent of this study because the nature of the
sedimentation problem around Ashbridge's Bay is very complex and requires a good
understanding of the coastal processes. As a result, their proposal was the lowest cost and
further suggested an optional underwater diving survey for an additional $5,350. This work was
not a priority for this study.
MacViro's study team was limited to only one person who was an expert in coastal processes.
The other study team members appeared to more qualified in others areas of Water Resources
engineering and it was deemed that their proposal lacked the overall expertise provided by the
other two consultants.
8302 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 June 12. 1998
The Baird proposal provided a good understanding of the erosion and sedimentation problems
in the area and how the development of solutions will be inter-related for this sector of the
Toronto waterfront. The proposed study team are all experts in coastal engineering and will be
using state of the art numerical models to investigate the problem and develop alternative
solutions, and was therefore considered to be the best proposal received.
It is recommended that the proposal received from W. F. Baird and Associates be accepted at a
total cost of $$37,285 (incl. G.S.T.)
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The purpose of this study is to complete a detailed coastal processes numerical modelling
analysis of the Ashbridge's Bay study area to address the following issues;
. to investigate shoreline instability problems associated with the existing shoreline
alignment/configuration that would necessitate modifications to ensure the long term
stability and structural integrity of the headlands and beaches of Ashbridge's Bay Park;
. to develop a recommended cost effective option that would ensure the long term
shoreline stability; and
. to address the long term sedimentation problem at the Coatsworth Cut navigation
channel by developing options to ultimately eliminate the need for the periodic dredging
process and recommend a preferred option that provides a long term integrated solution.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Funds to complet~ the coastal study for Ashbridge's Bay Park shoreline stability and Coatsworth
Cut sedimentation are available under "The Lake Ontario Waterfront Regeneration Project 1995-
1999", Account No. 211-16

relate to the Aregers Appeal in cooperation with the City of Mississauga and other relevant
parties to the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing;
AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to the Executive Committee on any resolution or
settlement with respect to this matter. ................................... CARRIED
June 12. '1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #4/98 8303
BACKGiROUND
At Executive Committee Meeting #2/98, held April 3, 1998 Resolution #B30/98 was adopted:
"THA T the party status before the Ontario Municipal Board on a site specific referral
related to the City of Mississauga Official Plan by George Aregers of 1671 Brentano
Boulevard in the City of Mississauga, Etobicoke Creek Watershed be authorized;
THA T staff continue to pursue the resolution of Authority issues and interests in
cooperation with the City of Mississauga and other relevant parties prior to the Hearing;
AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to the Authority on the status of discussions and
seek further direction prior to the second Procedural Hearing Conference scheduled for
,June 16, 1998."
Mr. Aregers is the owner of property at 1671 Brentano Boulevard, north of the OEW and
adjacent to the Etobicoke Creek, in the City of Mississauga. The subject property is
approximately two hectares in size. The property has three structures situated on tableland,
with the balance being valley side slope and flood plain of the Etobicoke Creek which is
regulate!d pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158. The City of Mississauga Official Plan designates
the subject property Residential and Major Open Space, and the property is currently zoned
Residential and Greenbelt.
STATUS UPDATE
Authority staff in c~)Qperation with the City of Mississauga, have held a number of scoping
discussions with the appellant's lawyer and consultant to better understand and narrow the
issues associated with the site specific appeal to the City's Official Plan. As previously noted, the
key issue appears to relate to the public use and/or ownership of the privately-owned valleylands
. on the Aregers property.
The appellant through legal counsel has proposed a possible settlement to the City of
Mississauga which could effectively resolve the issue and eliminate the need for an Ontario
Municipal Board Hearing. To this end, Authority staff has had without prejudice discussions with
both the City and Mr. Aregers' representatives; the appellant is now in the process of finalizing a
settlemHnt for the consideration of both the City and the Authority.
Given the progress which is being made with respect to this matter, the appellant will be
requesting the Ontario Municipal Board set a Hearing date for the Fall in order to allow the
parties to consider a settlement and resolve the site specific appeal. The next Pre-Hearing
Conference is scheduled for June 16, 1998.
Authority staff will continue to pursue the resolution of this appeal in cooperation with the City
and other parties to the Hearing. Staff will report back to a future meeting of the Executive
Committee regarding the nature of any proposed settlement and/or to seek further direction with
respect to this appeal.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Given the progress being made with regards to this appeal, staff are not recommending that
legal counsel be retained. However, depending upon the final settlement we may need te> retain
legal counsel to assist in the execution of the settlement on the Authority's behalf.

.THAT Oluotation ES98-25(2) for the supply and installation of all structural steel
frameworks, metal screens and all handrails in the amount of $28,800 (excluding G.S.T.) be
awarded to Somerville Construction. .................................... CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Spadina Quay Parklands are the latest addition to the City of Toronto's 40 acre Harbourfront
Parks System. Building on the success of the 1995 Harbour Square Park shoreline project, the
City is proposing shoreline habitat enhancement along the eastern portion of the Spadina Quay
Parklands bordered by the marina to the south and Spadina Quay to the east. The proposal will
transform a barren parking lot into a diverse and ecologically stable wetland that provides a
variety of terrestrial and aquatic plant communities. Breaks in the existing dockwall will assist in
establishing physical and vegetative conditions that are conducive to high quality northern pike
spawning habitat.
The construction of the Spadina Quay Wetland Demonstration Project is being implemented by
The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority through a funding partnership with the City of
Toronto, the Toronto Remedial Action Plan and the Toronto Bay Trust. A total of six bidders were
invited to quote on the supply and installation of structural steel framework, metal screens and
handrails as part of the construction of the Spadina Quay Wetland Demonstration Project.
A total of two quotations were received for this work as follows:
Somerville Construction $28,800 (excluding G.S.T.)
Hobden CC;>nstruction $32,320 (excluding G.S.T.)
Construction estimates for this work were completed and indicated the cost for the work was
less than $25,000. Several factors including; increased high lake levels and alterations to the
original design resulted in higher than estimated costs.
RATIONALE
Staff have reviewed the quotations and recommend that the lowest quotation received,
submitted by Somerville Construction at a total cost of $28,800 (excluding G.S.T.), be accepted.

Moved by: Donna Patterson
Seconded by: Ron Moeser
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff be directed to continue to
negotiate the acquisition of the properties required for the implementation of the Port
Union Waterfront Improvement Plan;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to engage Chappell, Bushell, Stewart, Barristers and
Solicitors, regarding acquisition of the Manson Waterlot, and the Annis and Brown
Properties. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Resolution #A131/95, Authority Meeting #4/95, May 26,1995, approving the Greenspace
Protection and Acquisition Project.
At Meeting #5/98, held on June 26, 1998, the Authority adopted the following:
THAT the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project Concept Plan be endorsed and
submitted to the Minister of Environment for approval under the Environmental
Assessment Act;
THAT staff be directed to prepare a "Project" based on the Concept Plan and including a
funding partnership for approval by the Authority and the City of Toronto;
AND FURTHER THAT staff continue with acquisition efforts to achieve the objectives of
the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project Concept Plan.
It is proposed that the implementation of the preferred Port Union Waterfront Improvement
Concept Plan will be undertaken in two phases: Phase I will involve construction between
Highland Creek and Chesterton Shores Road and Phase II will involve construction on the
shoreline between. Chesterton Shores.io tbe.Rouge.mver... ,. . ~~ -. .. . . "
It is hoped that the required approvals for the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Plan will be in
place to begin the Phase I construction in the Spring of 1999 and has been estimated to take up
to four years to complete. Phase II construction will not likely begin until Phase I is nearing
completion.
July 10, 1 !~98 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/98 8314
Concurrent with the design and approvals process the Authority must begin assembling the
lands required to permit the construction to proceed at the appropriate time. The Authority has
been acquiring properties in the Chesterton Shores vicinity for a number of years under various
Lake Ontario Waterfront Programs and Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Projects. The
most reGent parcel being Milloy property, located just east of Chesterton Shores Road approved
by the A.uthority at Meeting #12/97, January 30, 1998. However, much of the shoreline still
remains in private ownership. A title record plan has been prepared indicating property
ownership along the 3 km of shoreline and negotiations are underway with a number of the
private ()wners. In order to implement both phases of the Port Union Waterfront Improvements
Concept Plan a total of 9 private properties including a private waterlot (Manson), and Canadian
National Railway (CN) surplus lands and Crown lands need to be acquired by Authority.
PHASE I
The priority for acquisition involves the lands required to permit the construction of Phase I. This
will involve the acquisition of two vacant private properties and the Manson waterlot at the foot of
Port Union Road along with the CN lands and Crown lands. The acquisition of these properties
must be accelerated to meet the projected approval and construction schedule. Discussions are
underway with the owners of the various properties. Following is a status report:
1. eN Property Staff have had a number of meetings with CN officials and they
have declared their holdings south of their 100 foot operating right
of way as surplus to their needs and have indicated they are
prepared to convey these lands, including their riparian rights to
the Authority. The lands are vacant and comprise of approximately
- 1/3 of the shoreline in the tot?! Project area.
2. Provincial Property Officials at the Ministry of Natural Resources are prepared to deal
with the property issue after the Environmental Assessment
Approval is received.
3. Manson Waterlot The subject vacant property is 3.47 acres more or less. A small
portion of this property lies between the southerly limit of the CN
lands and the water's edge. The balance is a submerged waterlot.
Preliminary discussions have taken' place with the owners,
Penfund Management Limited. An appraisal is currently being
prepared.
4. ~\nnis Property The subject vacant property is 0.47 acres more or less. A small
portion lies between the CN lands and the water's edge. The
major portion is beach and submerged. Negotiations are
_ . underway, .how.ever:.the.ow~..J:Ias-floUndlcated a willingness to
sell.
5. Brown Property The subject vacant property is 0.29 aces more or less. A small
portion lies between the CN lands and the water's edge. The
major portion is beach and submerged. Negotiations are
underway, however the owner has not indicated a willingness to
sell.
8315 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/98 July 10, 1998
While every attempt will be made to acquire the Manson water lot, Annis property and the Brown
property through negotiations, expropriation may have to be considered as a means to acquire
them in a timely manner. Staff feel it would be prudent to begin to explore other alternatives to
acquire these properties and are recommending we consult with Mr. Paul R. Henry, of Chappell,
Bushell, Stewart, Barristers and S.olicitors regarding this matter. Mr. Henry, worked with the
Authority on the Etobicoke Motel Strip Project and is very familiar with shoreline and waterlot
properties. Therefore we feel his advice at this time would be very helpful.
PHASE II
Construction of Phase II of the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Concept Plan (full build out)
is expected to begin within the next 5 to 10 years. It is proposed the 6 private properties
required for Phase II shall be acquired as opportunities and funding permit.
Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. A more detailed plan will be
available at the meeting.
RATIONALE
The subject properties fall within the Authority's approved master plan for acquisition along the
Lake Ontario shoreline. These properties are key to the regeneration of the Lake Ontario
shoreline between the Highland Creek and Rouge River Watersheds. Accelerated acquisition of
the Mason waterlot, Annis property and Brown property together with the acquisition of the
surplus CNn lands and the Provincial waterlot will, facilitate the construction of Phase I of the Port
Union Waterfront Improvement Plan.
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
These lands when purchased or acquired, will be turned over to the City of Toronto under the
terms of the existing management agreement with the former Municipality of Metropolitan

a!;Jreeing to complete details of the proposed crossings, sediment controls, tree
plfotection and hydraulic analysis; dated July 8, 1998.
RATIONALE
The appliication was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The Town of Richmond Hill is proposing to develop a new public park at Leslie Street and 19th
Avenue. Currently there is a privately run equestrian facility and day camp on the property. It is
anticipatE~d that these facilities will remain and the area enhanced for outdoor education. The
historic Dexter House is to be moved to this site at some time in the future, and it is anticipated
that the office for tbe Rouge P.arkEoundation.may..be.Jacate.d.here. ,- .- +.-
A master plan is being developed for the site that will ultimately include the construction of trails,
an off-linE~ pond/wetland, an interpretive centre, two parking lots, and washrooms. Extensive
planting will also be done. There is a small permanently flowing tributary on the property which
has been ditched along the existing driveway. Ultimately it is proposed that this tributary be
renaturalized. In support of this redevelopment the existing driveway is to be relocated, three
new wells will be dug, and three new septic systems will be constructed.
8355 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/98 July 10, 1998
The lands are not fill regulated; however, a tributary of the Rouge River traverses the property
which has an associated regional flood plain. The land is flat with no defined valley feature. All
of the existing and proposed structures, including the parking lots, and associated wells and
septic systems are located outside of the regional flood plain. The existing driveway crosses the
flood plain and watercourse. The proposed driveway will cross the watercourse at the same
location with an 18 metre box culvert.
The proposed pond/wetland will be a habitat enhancement feature mainly to attract waterfowl to
the area. The water level will be maintained by ground water. The pond will be excavated within
an old field area within the limits of the*flood plain. The regrading wfll result-in a slight
modification to the flood plain limits but will not change the characteristics of flooding on site, or
up or downstream. All excavated material will be removed offsite or regraded.
The proposed trails cross the watercourse at two locations and are aligned to some extent within
the flood plain, but will be located a minimum 10 metres setback from the low flow channel,
thereby maintaining the riparian area. The trail crossings will be an open foot bridge design that
will not touch the low flow channel. The trail for the most part will be constructed at existing
grades. There will be a small section that will be aligned along the proposed new regraded
area adjacent to the pond.
This application is for the first phase of the project only, which includes the regrading for the
pond/wetland, and the construction of the driveway and trail crossings.
The second phase pf the project is for the stream rehabilitation/renaturalization works. The
existing disturbed tributary is to be realigned to a more natural configuration and replanted using
natural channel design principles to enhance the fisheries habitat and to regain a more natural
stream form. Staff will be working with the Town of Richmond Hill, Ministry of Natural Resources
and Department of Fisheries and Oceans staff to finalize the details of this.
Control of Flooding:
Staff have reviewed the hydraulic modelling and confirmed that the flooding characteristics
under Regional Storm conditions are maintained. However, staff is still working with the
consultant to ensure that the regrading is incrementally balanced in the flood plain and that there
will be no changes in, flooding for any event up to the Regional Storm.
Pollution:
A sediment fence will be installed between the watercourse and the proposed pond during the
construction of the pond and between the path bridge footings and the watercourse. The
existing driveway culvert will be removed and the proposed culvert installed under dry
conditions. All disturbed areas will be stabilized with seed as soon as possible. These measures
will prevent construction_gene.mted..sediDler.1tsjrom_eQterjr.lg..tt:u~..watQroourse. - .
Conservation of Land:
The small tributary watercourse that is to be realigned is permanently flowing and appears that
is may support a cold water fishery. Staff will be working with the applicant, the Ministry of
Natural Resources and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to ensure that the renaturalized
watercourse is appropriately designed and represents a net increase in fish habitat.
July 10. 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/98 8356
Currently there is very little vegetation on site. Although revegetation will be part of the second
phase wc:>rks, it is our understanding that 60% of the site is to be revegetated. All existing woody
riparian vegetation will be protected with sediment fencing. All in-stream works will be done
within tht3 appropriate time frame for fish protection.

The appUcation was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
8359 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/98 July 10. 1998
ProDosal:
The proposal consists of demolishing an existing 6 storey parking garage/3 bay maintenance
garage; constructing a new access ramp/parking lot; backfilling and restoring the original,
natural slope; and install new landscaping. The existing parking garage was built into the slope
at this location; the new parking lot will occur on the tableland portion of the site and will be
approximately one third the size of the original structure. Only the eastern half of the property is
located within the Fill Regulated Area; the eastern-most portion of the site is within the Regional
Storm flood plain of the Don River and the Lower Don Special Policy Area (SPA).
Control of Flooding:
As mentioned above, the applicant proposes to backfill a significant portion of the cut slope
where the existing building presently lies and the project consultant has calculated that 4,775
cubic metres out of the total volume (8,300 cubic metres) of fill to be placed will occur below the
Regional Storm flood elevation of 82.23 metres C.G.D (Canadian Geodetic Datum). Staff is
presently reviewing the proposal to determine the impacts of the proposed fill placement within
the flood plain. A reduction of fill volume may not be feasible as the required amount is needed
to restore the slope which will be graded and compacted to ensure a stable slope. A hydraulic
impact analysis may be requested to assess potential impacts on flOod levels on adjacent lands.
Pollution:
Silt fencing will encircle the work zone to impede the overland migration of construction-
generated sediments. Furthermore, a Stormceptor will be installed within the existing storm
sewer system to enhance water quality leaving the site.
Conservation of Land:
Staff is presently reviewihg a geotechnical investigation submitted by the proponent to ensure
that the restored slope will be stable in the long term. All filled and disturbed areas will be
revegetated following construction; no significant resource features will be impacted by the
proposed works.
Policv Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.2.1 - Development and Redevelopment/Intensification
Within Established Communities/Highly Urbanized Areas - of the Authority's Valley and Stream
Corridor Management Program, as well as the Lower Don SPA.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT staff be authorized to represent Authority interests before the
Ontario !Municipal Board Hearing on referrals by Wyndcliffe Developments Incorporated;
THAT stiaff be directed to retain the firm of Baker & Mackenzie to provide legal
representation with respect to these matters or to make suitable arrangements with the
Town of Caledon to share their legal counsel;
,AND FUI~THER THAT staff continue to pursue the resolution of Authority issues in
cooperation with relevant parties and/or participants prior to the Hearing. ;..... CARRIED
BACKGnOUND
The Wyndcliffe Developments lands are comprised of approximately 3.8 hectares (9.8 acres) of
land situated on Taylorwood Avenue within the Bolton Settlement Area in the Town of Caledon.
The lands are designated Residential and Environmental Policy Area within the Town's Official
Plan, and are zoned R1-E(45} Residential and A 1-Agricultural. The lands consist of a small
portion of table land, with the balance of the lands forming part of a well-defined tributary valley
of the HLlmber River (Attachment 1).
Wyndcliffe Developments made application to the Region of Peel Land Division Committee to
sever two lots from the property (B9/98-C and B10/98-C) with the retained lands forming a third
lot. Authority and Town staff had previously attended the site for the purpose of establishing a
development limit for the lands, and confirmed that there was little viable tableland. It also
appears that a considerable amount of dumping and filling has taken place on the property.
. . ..... .'. .. . .... - --- . -. ~~. . . -- ... ........ - ..... ~ - ".
The applications were refused by the Peel Land Division Committee for the following reasons:
1. Approval of the applications would reflect that no regard had been had to the Town of
Caledon policies and procedures as reflected by the Town of Caledon and Planning
Department's opposition to the application;
8371 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/98 July 10, 1998
2. Approval of the applications would reflect that no regard had been had to those matters
to be regarded under Section 51 (24) of the Planning Act, 1990, as amended, inasmuch
as the proposed lots do not conform to the provisions of the Town of Caledon Official
Plan, with respect to development of residential lots within Environmental Policy Areas;
3. The Committee is not satisfied that a suitable building envelope exists on the subject
property in conformance with the policies of the Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority .
The applicant has appealed the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board in accordance with the
provisions of the Planning Act, 1990, as amended; while a hearing date has not been set, this
matter is anticipated to go forward in the late summer or early fall of this year.
RATIONALE
The majority of the Wyndcliffe Developments property is situated on the valley slope and flood
plain of a tributary of the Humber River draining in excess of 125 hectares. There does appear to
be a limited amount of tableland, however no technical submissions have been made to
substantiate whether these lands are stable and/or determine the nature and composition of
material on site.
While no technical details have been provided to demonstrate and/or justify the creation of the
three lots, it is staff's opinion having visited the site on numerous occasions that this could only
be achieved by means of filling over top-of-bank and into the Regional Storm flood plain
associated with this. tributary. While this reach is not Fill Regulated, a permit would be required
from the Authority for any construction within the flood plain portion of the property or
interference with the watercourse.
The policies and programs of the Authority which apply to well defined valley systems have as
their overall thrust the retention of these systems from top-of-bank to top-of-bank, as natural units
capable of passing regional flood flows, avoiding development that would be hazardous to life
and property, and retaining the opportunity for the preservation of valley systems as public open
space areas consistent with municipal official plan policies.
While Authority staff are of the opinion that three lots on the subject property are not viable,
further discussions with the Town and representatives for the applicant are ongoing to assess
other alternative layouts and/or a reduction in the number of lots proposed. Staff will continue to
pursue a possible resolution in accordance with the programs and policies of the Authority,
failing which we will represent the interests of the Authority in front of the Ontario Municipal
Board.

not, staff recommend the legal firm of Baker & McKenzie be retained to provided legal
representation on the Authority's behalf.

BACKGROUND
The construction of the Spadina Quay Wetland Demonstration Project is being implemented by
The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority through a funding partnership with the City of
Toronto, the Toronto Remedial Action Plan and the Environment Canada's Great Lakes 2000
Cleanup Fund. A total of six bidders were invited to quote on the construction of the east
boardwalk and south bridge components including; retaining walls, approach slabs, weirs,
curbing, exposed aggregate walkway and all related concrete work as part of the development
of the Spadina Quay Wetland Demonstration Project.
A total of two quotations were received for this work as follows:
Contract ES98-25 (5) Somerville Construction $37,300 (excluding G.S.T.)
Hobden Construction $29,300 (excluding G.S.T.)
Contract ES98-25 (6) Somerville Construction $42,300 (excluding G.S.T.)
Hobden Construction $34,050 (excluding G.S.T.)
Construction estimates for this work were completed and indicated the cost for the individual
components of work were less than $25,000 each. Numerous factors, including a delay in
receiving final approvals and resulting impact of increased lake levels and alterations to the
original design resulted in higher than original estimated costs.
RATIONALE
Staff have reviewed the quotations and recommend that the lowest quotation received,
subm itted by, Hobden.Canstructian..at.a totaL.cost..of..$29,30Q.and.$34,oso.{excluding G.S. T.}, be

RES #B'106/98 - 1998 ROXANN SUBSTRATE SURVEYS
Retention of Dr. Norm Rukavina from Environment Canada for ROXANN
Substrate surveys for the 1998 field program.
Moved by: Lorna Bissell
Seconded by: Donna Patterson
THAT stiaff be directed to secure Dr. Norm Rukavina from the New Technologies Research
Branch e)f Environment Canada to conduct ROXANN substrate surveys along the Port
Union Shoreline for the amount of $6,000 plus GST. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGBOUND
The ROXANN acoustic seabed classification system is a component of several surveys
documenting pre-construction conditions along the Scarborough shoreline starting at the
Highland Creek Mouth and extending to the mouth of the Rouge River.
The ROXANN Survey analyses echo-sounder returns to produce a classification of bottom
sediment type and morphology conditions along the Scarborough shoreline on Lake Ontario.
The purpose of the ROXANN survey is to acoustically map the substrate in this area and to
estimate the areal coverage of it's bottom types. This is then confirmed with underwater video.
Specific objectives are to produce a general map of sediment distribution for the Port Union
Road to the Rouge River section in the depth range 2-7 metres. See Figures 2 and 4 for an
example, This ROXANN Survey has become a valuable tool in determining the substrate
conditions in the Scarborough sector of the waterfront. The data will be used to reinforce the
proposed shoreline improvement plans for the area.
RATIONj~LE
1. The ROXANN surveying equipment is very specialized and Environment Canada
p,ossesses and operates the only unit in Ontario. Dr. Norm Rukavina and his staff are the
exclusive experts that can provide this service.
2. TI1e ROXANN,sulVey.~g.an-effeetive'9.Aa efficient metfl6d~f-determining--substrates, depth
and bottom roughness. This accompanied by an underwater video, documents a
complete profile of the site.
3, This information is critical for determining the existing fish habitat and impacts in order to
SBcure Department of Fisheries and Oceans approval for the Port Union Project.
4. The information collected would complete previous years surveys and a comprehensive
documentation of the Pickering/ Lake Ontario shoreline will be achieved.
8375 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #5/98 July 10, 1998
Staff reviewed other survey methods and determined that the ROXANN survey is the most
complete and comprehensive for this site. It is recommended that Dr. Norm Rukavina and his
staff be retained for his services. This will include: a fully equipped Environment Canada survey
vessel with relevant gear and underwater video apparatus; a copy of all sounding records in
ASCII format; a copy of all underwater video of the site; and a complete report outlining all
methodologies and findings.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Funds are available under various accounts, including 240-01 and 223-10.

BACKGiROUND
The Morningside Heights planning area is a parcel of land within the City of Toronto located south
of Steell~ Avenue, north of Finch Avenue, east of the CPR rail line and west of the Rouge River. It
lies almost entirely within the Morningside Tributary Subwatershed, centred along the mid-reach of
the tributary itself. (Refer to Attachment 1.) There is a lengthy history of studies, approvals and
other initiatives affecting both the Morningside Tributary and the Morningside Heights planning area
lands, ,such as the City's Morningside Tributary Subwatershed Study, the Rouge Park, the
Environmental Assessment approval for Stormwater Management in the Morningside Tributary
Watershed of the Tapscott Industrial District, and various other land use studies and planning
docum~mts.
The Authority has received three previous staff reports on matters related to the Morningside Heights
OMB helaring. The first was considered at Authority Meeting # 9/97, held October 31, 1997, and was
a status report, brought forward for information at the request of the Authority, on the Phase 2 report
of the 1'ormer City of Scarborough's Morningside Tributary Subwatershed Study (MTSS). The
second report was considered at Executive Committee Meeting #2/98, held April 3, 1998, the
purposl~ of which was to obtain authorization for party status at the OMB subsequent to the
Mornin!;Jside Heights Landowners Group's referral of the City's Morningside Heights Official Plan
Amendment No. 974 and the landowners' Private Official Plan Amendment application. This report
also pr'ovided a staff summary of TRCA issues. The third report was considered at Executive
Committee Meeting #4/98, held June 12, 1998, and was a status report on the OMB proceedings
to date.
Since this last status report, there was another Prehearing Conference (PHC) which was held July
13, 1998. At this PHC, the Board intended to conclude two items of business: the finalization of a
list of issues for the hearing, and a decision as to whether to consolidate or not other OPA's relating
to the proposed transportation corridor link between Highways 401 and 407. The issue of the
transpclrtation corridor was discussed at detail. The Province (through the Ministry of Municipal
Affairs and Housing as the one-window for the Provincial Ministries) was represented by legal
counsel and requested party status in the event that the OMB consolidates the hearing of the
transpoliation corridor issue. After lengthy discussion, the Board advised that they would not make
a decision on this matter until early in August. The Board also advised that the Issues List of all
parties i:s on hold until the decision on consolidation of transportation matters is made. In addition,
The Frionds of the Rouge Watershed, who had been previously working through Save the Rouge
Valley System Inc., requested participant status.
At the o:>nsent of all those in attendance at the PHC, the hearing is still scheduled to commence on
October 19, 1998. Sixteen weeks has been set aside. Another PHC is scheduled for September
14, 19913, at which time the status of parties, the Issues Ust, and the Procedural Order for the hearing
will be finalized. The exchange of witness statements, etc., is tentatively scheduled for late
September. ' ' , -
In order to finalize our preparation for the hearing, staff is recommending that legal counsel be
retained and that the recommended actions to address Authority interests, as detailed below, be
approv~3d.
B399 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/98 August 14, 1998
RATIONALE
To date, the OMB has categorized issues under the general headings of Land Use, Transportation
and the Subwatershed Study. This latter group of issues includes those associated with natural
hazards, natural heritage features and water management.
As noted above, a list of TRCA issues relating to the Morningside Heights OMB hearing was
attached to the April 3, 1998 Executive Committee report. The following provides further detail with
respect to these .issues, recommends specific actions and summarizes the actions of other
parties/participants to the hearing that we have been made aware of to date.
1. Subwatershed Study
(The majority of the Authority's issues fall under this heading.)
The former City of Scarborough initiated the MTSS in 1993. Most of the parties/participants to the
Morningside Heights OMB hearing have also been active participants in the MTSS. The MTSS itself
is not under appeal. The study area for the MTSS, and resulting recommendations, go beyond the
limits of the Morningside Heights planning area; however, it is important that any OPA for the
Morningside Heights planning area that is approved by the Board recognizes and implements the
applicable recommendations of the MTSS. In particular is the need to ensure that the Morningside
Heights OPA contains provisions for the recognition, protection and regeneration of the natural
heritage and hazard features and functions, including water management, in accordance with the
approved MTSS. This remains an issue at the hearing, because consensus has not to date been
reached on key watershed management issues amongst the MTSS participants.
When TRCA staff reported on the status of the City's MTSS in the fall of 1997, the Phase 2 study
report had been completed and Authority staff had provided comments to the City. These staff
comments were attached for Authority information. We had advised the City of Scarborough that
we supported the Phase 2 study recommendations as amended by an attached "Addendum". In
this report, staff also summarized the positions and outstanding issues of the other study
participants. At that time, Scarborough Council supported the position and "10 point plan"
recommendations of the Save the Rouge Valley System Inc. (SRVS) which went far beyond the
recommendations for protection, enhancement and restoration of the subwatershed features of the
Phase 2 report and Authority staff'recommendations. The Morningside Heights Landowners Group
was generally in support of the Phase 2 recommendations and Addendum.
When this status report was considered by the TRCA Watershed Management Advisory Board, The
Friends of the Rouge Watershed attended and identified three concerns with the Phase 2
recommendations. Their concerns related to proposed flood plain alterations and "buffer" setbacks,
remediation of existing stormwater management works and siting of new SWM facilities, and the
implementation of innovative runoff management techniques for baseflow and peak flow
management. As a result, Authority staff's recommendation was amended and the following
resolution was lldoptect'bylhe-Allthor1ty ,'M 'recommentielfbY"lhEfWMAB:
"Res. #A236/97
THA T the staff report, dated October 10, 1997, be received for information.
August 1-', 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/98 8400
TI-IA T the concerns of the Friends of the Rouge Watershed regarding the Morningside
Tributary be considered, including a review of an increase of the 10 metre setback, in the
Morningside Tributary Sub-Watershed Study and report back to the Watershed
Management Advisory Board as soon as possible."
As noted above, it has been difficult to achieve consensus on the Phase 2 MTSS recommendations.
Following our status report last fall, there have been numerous discussions amongst various groups
and agencies related to the Phase 2 MTSS report particularly as it relates to the upcoming OMB
hearing for the Momingside Heights planning area. The following provides a brief summary of key
'discussions and decisions:
. 'The City of Toronto has adopted a revised position such that the Phase 2 report, as
,amended by the "addendum", has been approved and City staff have been directed to
proceed with Phase 3 of the study (the implementation stage).
. SRVS and the Morningside Heights Landowners Group entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU), which modified the previous SRVS "10 Point Plan" such that it more
closely resembled the Phase 2 report recommendations and amendments, but it also
:supports residential land uses. Since then, the City has adopted a position on tableland land
use that maintains employment uses on lands west of the Morningside Tributary so we are
unsure of how this affects the MOU. Authority staff have had discussions with both
. representatives of the landowners group and City staff with regard to satisfying Authority
interests and a meeting early in August is anticipated for this purpose.
, . It is our understanding that since the signing of the MOU, The Friends of the Rouge
Watershed (FORW) no longer share the views of the SRVS in its entirety and, as noted
,above, has now requested participant status at the Board. It is also our understanding that
the position of the FORW remain generally as stated in their correspondence and
presentation to the WMAB last fall.
. Based on our discussions last fall, it was our understanding that the MNR supported the
Phase 2 report as amended by the addendum and we are not aware of any change in that
position.
. 'The Town of Markham, which has lands that lie within the Subwatershed study area,
upstream of the Morningside Heights planning area, has also recently advised, through
Council, that they have received the MTSS, but have deferred their endorsement until such
'time as five concerns have been addressed. Of the five concerns, it is our interpretation that
only two of the Town's concerns directly relate to issues in front of the Board. One of these
two issues is related to transportation which is dealt with later in this report. The other is
related -to--ihe -treatment-of -existing -water ..",anagement 'control-structures along the
Morningside Tributary, and we believe that the Town's concerns are consistent with the
comments we had previously identified on the Phase 2 report.
8401 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/98 August 14, 1998
Authority staff continue to support the Phase 2 MTSS report, as amended by the "addendum".
(Refer to Attachment 2). Because staff is recommending the support of the MTSS, we are advising
that we also support a 10 metre environmental buffer and therefore would not be recommending
an increase of the 10 metre buffer setback. Further discussion is needed with the City and
landowners to determine any additional Rouge Park boundary requirements and proposals on how
any Park boundary needs may be achieved. Further, with regard to flood plain modifications,'
through the MTSS, staff has supported modification of the regional flood plain limits given the history
of the area, i.e. the Tapscott diversion structure, existing downstream flooding, etc. The need for
additional work regarding erosion was identified and will be incorporated. With regard to innovative
stormwater management techniques, staff is working with the consultants for the developers to
ensure that proper source controls and any necessary retrofitting of existing facilities are achieved.
When the Phase 2 report and Addendum were being prepared, we identified gaps with regard to
servicing requirements because of the uncertainty at the time regarding adjacent land use. Staff
also identified additional studies that were needed. Authority staff has met with the consultants for
the developers, who have agreed to undertake the necessary studies to clearly define the
stormwater management criteria for the planning area. When these studies have been completed,
the proposed stormwater strategy will be established to the satisfaction of the Authority and the City.
Generally, we will require Level 1 water quality treatment, water quantity controls, and that the siting
and location of any proposed SWM facilities be in accordance with the Authority's Valley and Stream
Corridor Management policies and/or any other requirements of the, City.
Staff is of the opinion that the Phase 2 report, as amended by the Addendum, should be the
Authority position in front of the Board.
Therefore staff is reco~mending:
. that the land use schedules and policies of the Morningside Heights Official Plan
amendment recognize and implement the recommendations of the Morningside Tributary
Subwatershed Study Phase 2 report and Addendum as set out in Attachment 2 to this staff
report.
2. Land Use
Currently, the only applications in front of the OMB are the City's and the landowners' Official Plan
Amendment proposals although other OPA's (related to the transportation issue) may be
consolidated. There are no detailed development applications ego subdivision applications, zoning,
etc. The key issue at the hearing relating to the land use designation is whether the lands are to
remain designatec::t for industrial (employment) purposes or be amended to allow for residential
development. The landowners' group has proposed the latter. The City has recently finalized it's
position on this issue, through City Council, such that the lands lying to the east of Morningside
Tributary are' proposed to be am'erTdectto-allowfor Executive"Residenlial development and the lands
lying to the west of Morningside Tributary are to remain designated for employment purposes.
Staff identified no quantifiable difference in impact and/or opportunities associated with this issue
of tableland use(s} to the Authority's Subwatershed Study interests.
August 14, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/98 8402
Therefore staff is recommending:
. that the Authority continue with its position that the land use decision regarding residential
versus employment use is not within the purvue of the Authority as this is clearly a municipal
responsibility .
3. TransDortation
The key issue at the hearing relating to transportation is whether or not there will be - or provision
will be made to reserve - a north-south, transportation corridor linking Highways 401 and 407. This
transpol1ation issue has surfaced in several other OPA's which, as noted above, is the subject of a
consolidation motion in front of the Board and we will not be advised as to how the hearing will
proceed in relation to transportation until early August. We are still not clear on how any OMB
hearing on this transportation issue will be integrated with requirements under the Environmental
Assessment Act.
There are several parties to the hearing that have a substantive interest in this issue. The Regions
of York and Durham and the Town of Markham are supporting a link and do not want to see their
positions compromised at the Morningside Heights hearing. The City of Toronto has recently
confirmed it's position that it does not support such a link if located within the Rouge Park or if
located between Hwy 407/Markham By-pass and 401. The Rouge Park, when announced in March
1990 stated that no new roads would be permitted in the proposed Park area south of Steeles
Avenue; however, Park staff has advised that the lands within the Morningside Tributary between
Steeles Avenue and Finch Avenue are not within the park area affected by this announcement. The
ProvinC43, as noted above, haS also now requested party status if the OMB consolidates and hears
this transportation issue. Provincial interests are likely associated with both the Rouge Park and
Ministry of Transportation objectives which mayor may not be in conflict.
The Authority's policies for valley and stream corridors allow for road crossings subject to meeting
specific: siting and design policy and criteria. Through the MTSS, staff identified no constraints,
other than the Rouge Park, that would indicate that the Authority's policy should be varied to prohibit
a road (:rossing within the Morningside Heights planning area
Therefore staff is recommending:
. 'that the land use schedules and policies relating to transportation recognize the Authority's
policies and criteria as set out in its Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program and
recognize the policies and objectives of the Rouge Park Management Plan.
Summau
There is; a great deal 'of work to"be'completed in a-relatively short period of time to prepare for the
upcoming OMB hearing. It has been a complicated process to date as there has been a great deal
of unceltainty regarding the interests and objectives of various parties to the hearing. This has been
further c::omplicated by the uncertainty relating to the transportation i~ue at the hearing.
B403 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/98 August 14,1998
Authority staff are satisfied that the recommended actions set out in this report achieve Authority
interests and fairly balance environmental and economic interests. Discussions will continue with
the various hearing parties and participants to achieve consensus on as many Authority issues as
possible prior to the start of the hearing. It is particularly important that we work closely with City of
Toronto staff to ensure that the recommended watershed management objectives are incorporated
into the City's OPA.
Given the short timeframe, Authority staff is recommending that we retain legal counsel to assist staff
with the preparation of evidence, mediation discussions, etc., and, that to the extent possible we
share legal services with the City to minimize costs. For example, it is unlikely that the Authority will
need to participate directly when Land Use and Transportation issues are being heard; however, it
will be necessary to make arrangements to monitor these discussions in the event that a watershed
management issue arises.

Dear Ms. Rexe:
Re: Momingside Tributary Subwatershed Study
Phase 2 Report and Addendum
Authority staff have reviewed the Addendum Report for Phase 2 of the Momingside
Subwatershed Study, We understand that this report was presented to the Works and
Environment Committee on September 22 and that it will be presented to Council on September
. 30, Please be advised that staff are generally supportive of the addendum report and the
_," u , proposed modifications to the recommendations in the Phase 2 report. However, we feel that
there should be some clarification around the actions required to resolve the outstanding
technical questions. In addition, MTRCA staff would like to clarify our position on the boundary
of the Rouge Park.
ROUGE PARK BOUNDARY
Based on the existing information available to date, Authority staff support a 10m ecological
buffer as the standard tor all natural features and this is reflected in our buffer recommendations
for the Momingside Tributary, Significant natural features and functions are also considered and
protected through application of storm water management practices and, if required. site
specific Environmental Impact Assessments.
The Rouge Park Plan identifies the boundary of the Rouge Park south of Steeles, where areas
are developing or redeveloping, as 30 m back from the stable top of bank to the extent possible.
This criteria was established to support park uses and management and was not based only on
requirements for an ecosystem buffer for all natural features. Authority staff support and will
work towards achieving the Rouge Park boundary for the Momingside Tributary. The limit of this
boundary should be clarified through a detailed park master plan. The mechanisms for
oN achieving this boundary are through the development process, land stewardship programs,
,.. dedication. compatible land uses or acquisition.
SUMMARY OF PHASE 2 RECOMMENDATIONS
~ As a summary we have attached an expanded version of the table that was presented in the
Addendum Report. Authority staff support the recommendations made in this table and believe
that there is a consensus in this regard from the Steering Committee,

master servicing environmental study within the development process. However, discussion,
clarification and resolution is required through Phase 3 of the study on three main technical
issues:
. maintenance of ground water recharge/discharge function as it relates to base flow
. method of addressing potential/existing erosion downstream of the diversion structure.
. technical assessment and recommendation to address the Scarborough/Markham
Drainage Agreement
We recommend that meetings are set up as soon as possible with the appropriate City, agency
and consulting staff to work on these matters. We further recommend that the terms of
reference for Phase three of the study be modified so that direction is given to resolve the
remaining technic2J questio~s ,
Authority staff are planning to attend the Council Meeting on September 30 to hear the
discussion on this item. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time if you require
clarification of Authority staff position.

BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #9/94, resolution #A2.29/94 was adopted as follows:
THA T WHEREAS The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is in receipt of
lJ request from -Canadian "NationSI' Rallway'Company and Bramalea Lumber, a division of
Greval Holdings Inc., to complete the conveyance of certain Authority owned land and
whereas a tentative arrangement concerning the conveyance of .062 hectares (.153 acres),
more or less, being part of Lots 343, 344, and 345 on Registered Plan TOR-4, City of
Mississauga, Regional Municipality of Peel, has been agreed upon;
8415 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/98 August 14, 1998
THAT a parcel of Authority owned land containing .062 hectares (.153 acres), more or less,
be conveyed to Canadian National Railway Company (Brama/ea Lumber) on the following
basis:
(a) The price is to be an amount of $24,000 ($3.60Isquare foot);
(b) Canadian National Railway Company is to pay all legal and survey costs;
(c) Completion of the conveyance will be subject to any Planning Act approvals that may
be required;
AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take
whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including obtaining all necessary
approvals and the execution of any documents.
In 1972, the Authority constructed the Mimico/Malton Flood Control channel on the Mimico Creek,
immediately west of Airport Road under Project W.C. 57, to provide flood relief to Old Malton Village.
In order to facilitate the construction of the channel, lands were required from Canadian National
Railway Company and the Authority had negotiated and received approval to deed this parcel to the
CNR as part of a land exchange. Unfortunately, we were not able to obtain the necessary Planning
Act consent and the subject parcel was leased to CNR for a term of 20 years and 11 months
commencing March 1, 1980, and has been sub-leased to Sramalea Lumber a division of Greval
Holdings Inc and now SL T General Contractor Company Limited.
The Sramalea Lumber operations is on lands owned and leased by CNR and includes the small
parcel of Authority owned land. A storage area, including sheds, are found on the Authority owned
portion of the leased property. The majority of the lands are within the Regional Flood Plain.
Sramalea Lumber would like to upgrade their facilities; however, before they invest in the operation,
they would like to purchase the property. CNR has agreed to sell their lands at market value,
however Sramalea Lumber feels it needs the Authority parcel to make their operations viable and
has made the acquisition of the Authority property a condition of their purchase with CNR.
Technical staff have reviewed the site and concluded that the parcel is not required for maintenance
of the Flood Control channel.
At Authority meeting #7/94, under Resolution #A 185/94 it was resolved; ''that the application of a
Two-Zone concept for a portion of the Malton District be approved". This Two-Zone concept allows
development to occur within the flood fringe where the depths and velocities are non-life
threatening, and prohibits development in the floodway. In the case of the Malton District, the
f100dway is confined to the channel. The subject property is in the flood fringe. The limitations of
the subject property in respect to our policies and regulations will be clearly set out in appropriate
documentation on closing.
The subject lands consist of two small fragments, being parts of two larger areas acquired from
Imperial Oil Umited and Margaret Paynter in November, 1971 and May, 1972, respectfully, under
Project W.C.57 - Mimico Creek Channel Improvements.
August 14~, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/98 8416
The prl:>posed transaction, as tentatively arranged, has been extensively reviewed with the
Authority's solicitor who has advised us that provided the transaction is completed on the basis as
proposeld, the original Order-in-Council obtained in February 1974, could still be utilized. While an
approval by the Minister of Natural Resources (formerly an O.I.C) will not be required, staff will be
reviewing completion of this transaction with provincial officials prior to arranging for completion.
A plan illlustrating the specific location is attached.
RATIO'~ALE
Following the Authority resolution CNR entered into long protracted negotiations with SL T General
Contractor Company Umited formerly Greval Holdings Inc., regarding the market value of the lands
after finding the presence of petroleum-hydrocarbons at various locations on both the CNR and
Authori1y lands. CNR carried out clean up on the their lands and the subject Authority lands and
agreed to reduced purchase price by fifty percent for the CNR lands being sold to SL T General
Contrac:tor Company Limited. CNR have now request a similar reduction for the Authority lands.
As a result staff is prepared to recommend a reduction from $24,000 to $12,000 in recognition of the
clean up costs CNR has incurred to date as well as their cooperation with the Authority in the Port
Union Ftoad area of the Scarborough Waterfront.

To construct in the flood plain, and undertake minor regrading Part 1, Registered Plan 43R-
:5882, (Part of the West Half of Lot 25, Concession 6), in the Town of Caledon, Humbler River
Watershed, as located on property owned by same.
The purpose is to construct an addition onto an existing single family dwelling, construct a
freestanding wooden deck, and undertake minor regrading, within the Regional Storm flood plain
of the Humbler River.
The permit will be issued for the period August 14, 1998 to August 13, 2000 in accordance with the
following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

. IElevations prepared by Kohn Shnier Architects; Drawing A03; dated June 23, 1998
Ireceived July 28,1998
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The pfCIpOSal is to construct a 572 square foot addition onto an existing 1,172 square foot single
family dwelling and a freestanding wooden deck, and undertake minor regrading within the Regional
Storm flood plain of the Humbler River. The proposed addition is less than 50% of the existing
square ~footage of the residence.
Control of Flooding:
The Re~lional Storm level on the property is at the 267.93 m elevation. The current dwelling sits just
above tlhe 265 m elevation. .It is therefore not technically feasible to flood proof the addition to the
Regional Storm level. However, staff have determined that the existing dwelling is above the 350
year level of 261.8 m. Therefore, the proposed addition, and freestanding wooden deck will be
above the 350 year level. Grade changes on the site will be minimal. The proposed addition takes
advantage of the'existing"Qrade-on the site-and 'minimizes 'the -amount-of'excavation necessary for
the basement addition.
Pollution:
No sedimentation is expected from these works. The works will take place over 20 m from the
existing watercourse.
8421 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/98 August 14, 1998
Conservation of Land:
There are no significant resource features on the site.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.2.2 (C)-Minor Additions and Section 4.2.2 (E)-Property
Improvements and Ancillary Structures- of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
August 1 ~l, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/98 8446
Proposc~:
The applicant is proposing to pipe a 150 metre section of watercourse to allow for the construction
of an open space recreational facility in a new residential development.
The small intermittent tributary watercourse of the Humbler River drains out of the Philips Lake
Wetlancl Complex (Provincially Significant Wetland) through a ditched system and into the storm
sewer under Yonge Street where it eventually outlets to the Humbler River. Through studies
undertaJ<en during the review and approval of OPA 129 it was determined that this watercourse
could bE~ altered to allow for development. Since then, more detailed studies have been undertaken
that havf9 established that the watercourse does not provide any fish habitat. This has been reviewed
and supported by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Opportunities for enhancement of fish
habitat lire limited because of the sewer pipe barrier to the Humbler River, and opportunities for a
significlint terrestrial habitat link are limited because of the existing and approved development
immediCltely adjacent to the corridor. As a result of these studies, the developer is proposing to pipe
the wat,ercourse through the development to allow for a large recreation open space block. The
Town 01' Richmond Hill is supportive of this proposal because there is a lack of recreational open
space opportunities within the OPA 129 area
-
From thl~ south limit of the development area to the wetland, the developer is proposing to realign
the wate!rcourse within a 20 metre wide block, using natural channel design principles, and enhance
the adjaLcent terrestrial habitat. The watercourse invert will be maintained in order to maintain the
natural hydrologic function of the wetland.
In additil:>n, the applicant is proposing to construct a storm pond to provide water quality treatment
for the s:ite. The pond will outlet to the proposed piped section of the watercourse.
Control of Flooding:
The works are not in the flood plain.
Pollutiol~
The pipiing will be undertaken under dry conditions. Sediment check dams will be in place at the
inlet to the sewer to prevent the migration of sediments downstream. In addition, sediment fencing
will be in place along the south limit of the property between the works and the wetland.
Conservation of Land:
The developer is protecting and enhancing a natural vegetated corridor along the west side of the
development site that will link the wetland to the Humbler River stream corridor. The integrity of the
wetland will not be compromised by the piping of the watercourse.
There are no significant resource features that will be affected by the construction of the pond.
. '
The pond, new channel section and the edge of the open space block will be planted with native
trees and shrubs to restore and enhance the terrestrial and aquatic habitats..
Policy Guidelines:
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 Watercourses and Alterations.

169, (South Side of North Lakeland Crescent, west of Sylvan Crescent - Oak Ridges), in the
Town of Richmond Hill, Humbler River Watershed as located on property owned by same.
The purpose is to place fill for lot grading and alter a waterway by constructing two storm sewer
outfalls, in conjunction with the development of subdivision 19T -85093, within the Fill Regulated Area
of the East Humbler River.
The permit will be issued for the period of August 14, 1998 to August 13, 2003 in accordance with
the following documents and plans which form part of this permit.

received August 7, 1998.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal consists of placing fill material for lot grading purposes and constructing two storm
sewer outfalls as part of the development of residential subdivision 19T -85093. One outfall will direct
stormwater runoff to the Lake Wilcox outlet channel at the southeast portion of the site, while the
other outfall will be constructed at the northwest corner of the property. Only the western quarter
and the extreme southern areas of the subject lands are located within the Fill Regulated Area and
Regional Storm flood plain of the East Humbler River.
Control of Flooding:
The entire residential subdivision is located outside the Regional Storm flood plain. All existing
grades around the outfalls will be maintained; therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected
by the proposed works.
The proposed stormwater management scheme for this development generally complies with the
Functional Servicing Plan (FSP) approved under Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 129. Town of
Richmond Hill and Authority staff has requested that the proposed northwest outfall be investigated
to evaluate (and mitigate if necessary) potential impacts on an existing wetland west of the site,
which is part of an1:PA1"Zone'llnderoPA-' 29. Th~ EPA 1 Zones restrict a1110rms of development,
as these are the most sensitive areas around Lake Wilcox (Le. Wetlands, remaining forests, fish
spawning areas, etc.); the two outfalls are not located within the EPA1 Zones.
Pollution:
A combination of silt fencing, rock check dams, and catch basin sediment traps will control
sedimentation during construction. In addition, oil/grit separators will be installed to enhance post
development water quality prior to runoff entering the watercourse.

RATIOrllALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The permit application involves two separate works: placing fill in a fill regulated area adjacent to the
Rouge Hiver to provide for grading and storm water drainage in a proposed industrial area; and, to
construc:t a water quantity/quality pond, on-line to Applewood Creek, immediately west of Woodbine
Avenue, to service the industrial area and a proposed residential area.
B449 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/98 August 14, 1998
The Rouge River valley is well defined at the location of the filling, and a top of bank with a ten metre
buffer has been established. The buffer area is to be used as part of a trail system along the Rouge
River. There is little existing woody vegetation in the buffer area The proposed fill at some locations
would extend to the top of bank and would be in excess of 2 metres deep. In addition, the filling
would effectively redirect storm water into a different drainage basin.
Staff have concerns with respect to the long term stability of the slope, the proposed fill which may
place limitations on the design and construction of a potential trail in the buffer, and the
hydrologic/hydraulic impacts associated with the diversion of runoff from one drainage basin to the
other. We have been working with the consultant and have requested a clarification of the potential
diversion, written approval from the Town as it relates to their trail plans, a plan showing a proposed
trail alignment with restoration and a geotechnical report which establishes the existing and long
term slope stability. If our concerns can not be satisfactorily addressed we will be requiring revised
grading plans. This recommendation for approval may be withdrawn in this regard.
In compliance with the Buttonville Master Drainage Plan, the proposed storm pond is to provide
water quantity control and water quality treatment for a 160 ha. drainage area. The pond has been
sized and designed appropriately.
Control of Floodina:
The area of the proposed fill is not in the flood plain. With respect to the pond, we have requested
that the hydraulic modelling be redone to establish the expected flows over Woodbine Avenue
under: a Regional Storm condition to ensure that the flows will be funnelled into another existing
pond immediately'downstream.
Pollution:
A sediment fence will be installed along the top of bank to prevent sediment from entering the
Rouge River valley.
The watercourse is currently dry. The pond will be constructed under dry conditions to prevent
sediment from migrating downstream.
Conservation of Land:
Applewood Creek had been previously eliminated upstream of this pond site and the drainage is
to be taken up into the storm sewer system. These works were done in compliance with the
approved recommendations of the Buttonville Master Drainage Plan. There is no fishery resource.
The buffer area proposed to be filled, adjacent to the industrial block, will be enhanced with native
vegetation. Other concerns related to slope stability, trail alignment and drainage will be dealt with
as noted above.
Policv Guidelines:
The pond design and construction will be done in compliance with the approved Buttonville Master
Drainage Plan. The pond works and the final design of the proposed filling will be in compliance
with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as they relate to Section 4.3
Infrastructure and Servicing, and Section 3.2 Policies and Procedures for Establishing Corridor
boundaries and Alterations.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
In 1996, in response to a notice of violation from our staff, the owners of the subject lands made an
application to the Authority to enlarge their pond. The original pond, which is on-line to a tributary
of the Little Rouge River, had been created some years ago through a combination of excavation
and berming. The pond drained through the berm within a small steel pipe which controlled the
water height. The stream is permanently flowing, originating from ground water sources
immediately up stream. Fish have been identified using the watercourse just downstream of the
pond.
A site inspection at the time of the application revealed that the berm had been disturbed and the
pond deepened, resulting in an unstable situation. We immediately advised the owners and
directed them to seek professional assistance to assess the damage and repair the work. The
owners complied, but the berm breached before the repairs could be implemented. The
neighbouring property was flooded downstream and the watercourse was damaged as a result.
Authority staff worked with the owners to stabilize the breached berm.
Since that time, staff have been working with the owners to finalize a pond design that would meet
both the needs of the-owner -andTesultin-a-pond leature 'hat is safe and sensitive to the stream
corridor features and functions. It became clear that the owners did not have the resources to
satisfactorily address all of the issues and objectives. In 1997, the consultant for the Little Rouge
Project, a restoration program for the Little Rouge River sponsored by Save the Rouge Valley
System, discussed the possibility of this site as a restoration project. The following design resulted.
August 14, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/98 8452
The applicant is proposing to take the existing pond off-line by creating a by-pass channel. This
channel will provide the opportunity for fish passage and fish habitat and prevent water from
warmin!~ as it currently does in the on-line pond. The pond will be reworked into a pond/wetland
feature which will provide additional aquatic habitat. This pond design will also take the water
pressure off of the downstream berm and remove the need to rebuild it. The berm will be
revegetated to supply additional stability. The adjacent lands are to be planted with woody
vegetatiion.
The corlsultants for the Uttle Rouge Project have contacted other land owners in the area and are
workingl with them to extend the restoration works further downstream.
Control of Flooding:
The upstream drainage area is less than 125 ha so there are no Regional Storm flood plain
considEnations; however, staff are working with the consultant to ensure that there is adequate
conveYlarlCe in the watercourse.
Pollutiol~
The construction will be undertaken in the dry by constructing the new channel first, diverting the
water into it, then reconstructing the pond. All disturbed areas will be stabilized as quickly as
possiblt!.
Conservation of Land:
Authority staff will be working with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to ensure that their
interests are met., All in-stream works will be done within the appropriate timing guidelines for
protection of fisheries.,
Policy Guidelines:
The works are consistent with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as
it relate!s to Section 5.4 - Corridor Rehabilitation Projects. The permit will be withheld until
authori2:ation has been granted by the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
The existing structure over Bruce Creek at 19th Avenue is failing, and the Town of Markham staff is
proposing to replace it. The new structure will be approximately the same length but will expand
from 8.3 metres wide to 11 metres wide to facilitate possible future road works.
Control of Flooding:
A hydraulic analysis was undertaken by the applicant which indicates that there is no increase in the
control of flooding by this bridge replacement.
Pollution:
To facilitate the bridge replacement, the work will be done "in the dry" to prevent any construction
generated sediment from entering the watercourse. The method of achieving this will be discussed
with the contractor prior to the works. A small section of the stream bank will be disturbed by the
construction. This area will be stabilized with river run stone prior to allowing flows back in the
watercourse. The contractor will isolate the site of the foundation work and the watercourse with the
use of sheet piling-.
Conservation of Land:
The proposed bridge is designed to span the stream channel. The proposed construction activity
will disturb the east stream bank inside the limits of the existing culvert. This area will be restored
with river run stone which will mitigate impacts on fish habitat.
Currently there is no woody riparian vegetation at the bridge. Staff are requesting that some native
woody vegetation be planted is'the disturbed areas.
Riprap will be used around the bridge abutments which are not in the watercourse to protect them
from erosion under flood flow conditions.
Policy Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program
as it relates to Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing. The permit will be withheld until
authorization has been granted by the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The new alignment for Highway # 407 east of McCowan Road is proposed to cross the north end
of the MIU'kham Green Golf and Country Club. The golf club is proposing some minor changes to
the golf course layout at three sites in response to the new road.
For hole number one, the tees, which are located on the valley floor and in the flood plain, will be
set back and abut the toe of the valley slope. Three trees are required to be removed to facilitate
this. A new green for hole number one, with bunkers and sand traps, will be constructed on the
existing fairway in the flood plain, and the old green will be abandoned.
A new tee for hole three located in the flood plain will be constructed at the site of the green for hole
number two. All of hole number two will be abandoned and the holes renumbered.
A new elm path is proposed to connect holes one through four. It will be located at the toe of the
valley slc)pe and aligned to avoid and protect a wetland feature.
Controll:>f Flooding:
The grades on the existing golf course, including the tees and the greens are fairly flat. The new
features will be constructed at the existing grades for the most part with only some minor and site
specific regrading. None of the new golf course features are closer to the watercourse than the
existing holes. The works will not affect the control of flooding.
Pollutior~
All of the works will be more than 10 metres from the watercourse. Sediment fencing will be installed
to protect the watercourse for the works that are closest. The golf club has an interest in ensuring
that distlJrbance is minimized on their lands.

Humber River Watershed as located on property owned by same.
The purpose is to place fill and alter a watercourse in conjunction with the realignment of an existing
oxbow of the Humber River, within the Fill Regulated Area and Regional Storm flood plain.
The permit will be issued for the period of August 14,1998 to August 13, 2000 in accordance with
the following documents and plans which form part of this permit.
. Letter of Undertaking from Peter T. Davies of Constellation Development I nc. dated and

cannot be released -until 1111 "TRCA-requirementsl1ave been' satisfied and Department
of Fisheries and Oceans authorization under the federal Fisheries Act has been
received.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
August 1 ~~. 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/98 8458
Proposi~:
The proposal consists of placing fill material as part of the realignment of a 320 metre section of the
Humber River located immediately adjacent to an existing 30 metre high eroding valley wall, within
the Iimi1s of the Woodbridge Highlands and Riverview Heights residential subdivisions (Files 19T-
87107 and 19T-79043, respectively). The proposed works will eliminate an oxbow in the river which
is coincident with the toe of the valley wall. One of the original conditions of draft plan approval
requirecl that Constellation Development Inc. carry out a study of the entire reach encompassing all
existing erosion zones in proximity to this development. The reach study prepared by the applicant's
consultant addresses hydraulic, fluvial geomorphological, and biologic impacts on a reach basis
rather than on a site by site basis. Through this reach, the Humber River channel is coincident with
the valley walls at eight locations where the action of the river has resulted in toe and slope erosion
leading to varying degrees of slope failures. These erosion areas have been designated as Zones
1 to 8; similar erosion protection works for Zone 6 were previously approved by the Executive
Committee and constructed in 1994. The erosion of the slope at Zone 1 will be corrected by
realigning the channel away from the valley wall and armouring the toe of slope with rip-rap. The
realignE!d channel cross-section will be similar in shape and elevation to the existing channel.
Erosion Zone 5 located further upstream will also be repaired as part of this application; however,
the VallE~y wall at this location is much gentler in gradient than at Zone 1. The Zone 5 area will be
extensively planted with native vegetation; no filling or grading is required at this site. Both Zone 1
and Zone 5 are situated within the Fill Regulated Area and Regional Storm flood plain of the Humber
River.
Control of FloodinQ:
The pfCIposed channel realignment at Zone 1 will maintain the existing hydraulic capacity of the
Regional Storm flood ,plain;- therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed
work.
Pollutiol1:
The chi:U'lnel realignment work at Zone 1 will be completed in short sections. A coffer dam will be
installed around each work section so that construction can occur under dewatered conditions
(stream'f1ow will not be impeded at any time). Silt fencing will be installed to impede the overland
migratic.n of sediments from disturbed areas outside of the channel realignment work zone.
Conservation of Land:
Authority technical staff has reviewed and found satisfactory a geotechnical investigation prepared
by the applicant's consultant, confirming that the channel realignment and toe protection work will
curb the on-going erosion of the valley wall and allow the slope to restabilise through natural
vegetatil:>n regeneration. All filled and disturbed areas will be rehabilitated with native trees, shrubs,
and herbaceous plant material.
- - . -..
B459 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/98 August 1~, 1998
The proposed channel realignment work also requires approval pursuant to the Lakes And Rivers
Imorovement Act. administered by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), as well as authorization
under the Fisheries Act from the federal Department of FISheries and Oceans (DFO). Since there will
be a loss of 120 metres of channel length by eliminating the oxbow in the river, the applicant has
been required to prepare a Fish Habitat Compensation Plan (FHCP) which demonstrates ways of
achieving no net loss of aquatic habitat. The FHCP is presently being reviewed by Authority, MNR,
and DFO biologists; natural channel design techniques will include vortex rock weirs at the
beginning and end of the new river bend, field boulder/rootwad revetment bank treatment, river-run
stone to enhance habitat within the new section of channel, and extensive planting of native species
along the river bank and riparian zone. In addition, a portion of the old oxbow will remain as a
backwater area for added fish habitat. The review of the submitted FHCP is nearing completion:
timing is crucial since all in-water work must be completed by September 15, which is the deadline
for construction within intermediate cold water streams as stipulated by the MNR.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 3.3 - Policies And Procedures For Identifying Watercourses And
Alterations- of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Is received, If applicable.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
August 14, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/98 B460
ProDosl~:
The proposal consists of replacing the existing culvert beneath the Mono/Adjala-Tosorontio Townline
Road Ic,cated north of Highway No.9. The present structure is badly deteriorated and presents a
safety hazard to vehicular traffic. The existing open-foot concrete culvert is 4.3 metres wide by 2.8
metres high; the applicant's consultant has proposed a 5.5 metre wide by 2.5 metre high open-foot
structuni! to replace the existing culvert. A preliminary review by technical staff recommended that
the width of the structure be increased, as the existing and proposed culvert abutments are situated
within the channel of the river, resulting in harmful disruption/destruction of fish habitat. The
prop~d, as submitted, would likely result in harmful alteration to fish habitat and therefore require
authori~~ation from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO); the width of the new culvert
would have to be increased by at least 2.0 metres in order for the abutments to be located beyond
the river channel. Authority staff are presently working closely with Township staff and the project
consultiU'lt to revise the proposal in a manner that would result in compliance with TRCA policies and
DFO development guidelines for these types of works. The site is located within the Fill Regulated
Area and Regional Storm flood plain of the Humber River.
Control of Flooding:
The existing road profile over the proposed culvert will be maintained; all other areas disturbed
within the Regional Storm flood plain as part of the works will match pre-development ground
elevaticlns. It is anticipated that the new structure will not affect the control of flooding, since the
culvert opening will be increased and the roadway above will not be raised; however, a detailed
hydraulic analysis must be submitted for staff review and acceptance regarding this matter.
Pollution:
A temp,orary diversion channel will be constructed to route channel flows around the work area
during c:onstruction. The diversion channel will have a 5 year storm flow capacity and will be lined
with rivE!r-run stone for erosion protection. The construction area will be dewatered through filter
bags loc:ated a minimum of 10 metres from the work zone to prevent sediments from re-entering the
watercc)urse. Silt fencing will be installed to impede the overland migration of construction-
generated sediments in areas disturbed beyond the channel work.
Conservation of Land:
The disturbed portion of channel will be rehabilitated utilizing natural channel design techniques (eg.
River-rul1 stonelfield boulders beneath the new culvert, L.U.N.K.E.R.S. structure(s), bio-engineered
stream banks, etc.), as deemed appropriate by Authority technical staff. All roadway embankment
areas and slopes disturbed during construction will be covered with erosion blankets for immediate
stabilization. The disturbed portions of riparian zone will be rehabilitated with native tree, shrub, and
herbacElous plant material. .
Timing i:s crucial, since all in-water work must be completed by the cold water stream construction
deadline of September 1'5:- Once"1he'-proposal;"as'submitted,"has-beenTevised in a manner that
satisfies all outstanding concerns and requirements, Authority staff will consult with DFO staff to
determine if fishery compensation is required or, depending upon the revised proposal, if mitigation
will address fish habitat enhancement at this location. The applicant has acknowledged that the
permit LInder Ontario Regulation 158 cannot be released until all TRCA requirements have been
satisfied! and authorization from the DFO has been received, if applicable.
8461 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING #6/98 August 14, 1998
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal, once revised, will comply with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the
Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program and the Level 3 agreement
procedures between the TRCA and the DFO.

BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #4/95 held on May 21,1995, Resolution #A131/95 approved the Greenspace
Protection and Acquisition Project.
Negotiations have been conducted with the owner's solicitor Sheldon B. Spring of Goldman, Spring,
Schwartz & Kichler, Barristers and Solicitors.
The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed this proposal and is in
concurrence with the purchase 'of the property.
A plan illustrating the specific location is attached.
RATIONALE
This property is located within the Authority's approved master plan for acquisition and is part of
E.S.A. # 17 (Elder Mills Forest).
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
Taxes on the property-are-apprcximately $59;'rOO'fcr' 1'998"based -oTrthe'"Current Value Assessment.
Based on a preliminary review of the values placed on these properties, staff are of the opinion the
values are unreasonable and excessive. For example the parcel at the south east corner of Highway
No. 27 and Rutherford Road is less than an acre of flood plain and is valued at $1,109,000. Other
Authority valley lands in this area range in value from $769 to $223,333 per acre. Staff anticipate that
as a result of an appeal of SUbject properties, the taxes would be less than $5,000 per year.
~
SeptembElr 11, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/98 8465
The addition of the subject parcel will have some minimal impact on Authority's maintenance costs
at this I()cation. However, it is important to secure this property to protect the ESA and achieves
other Authority conservation objectives.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
This purchase will be charged to Account 004-11-502 - Flood Control Hazard Account.

BACKGROUND
The Arsonal Lands- (former Canada Post Property) is located at 1400 Lakeshore Road East, on the
shore of Lake Ontario in the south east corner of the City of Mississauga. The property has a
frontage of approximately 440 metres on Lakeshore Road. It is bounded on the east and south by
Marie Curtis Park, to the west is the Lakeview Water Pollution Control Plant (MOEE), and the
Lakeview Generating Station (Ontario Hydro).
The site (approximately 16 ha) was originally developed by the Department of National Defence as
a small :arms and munitions manufacturing facility during the Second World War. Post-war years
included a variety of manufacturing uses, with the site's final use as a Canada Post sorting facility
from 19131 to 1992.
The site's history of military and manufacturing land uses and operations over a long period of time,
have resulted in a site that has lost most of its natural qualities and has been fenced off since the
1940's. Years of neglect and difficult land uses have resulted in soil and ground water contamination
on part,s of the site, raising issues of public health and questions as to the best method of
remedislting the site for future use.
Following envirenmental-auditirtg'of-the-site;-th81'fOpertywas-purchased in 1991 for the purpose
of parkl~ and open space, through a joint collaboration involving the City of Toronto (formerly
Metropollitan Toronto), The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the Regional Municipality
of Peel, the City of Mississauga, and the Province of Ontario. The acquisition is a significant asset
in the dl3velopment of a waterfront parcel that together with Marie Curtis Park comprises 41 ha of
parkland.
B482 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/98 September 11, 1998
The property transaction was completed on October 30, 1992, and title was transferred from the
Canada Post Corporation to TRCA (formerly MTRCA).
The total cost for the acquisition was $18,000,000 including the purchase price ($14,500,000), taxes,
fees and other ancillary costs associated with the transaction.
Through the agreement of purchase, up to $5,000,000 was set aside to prepare ,the required
remediation plan and implement the Site Remediation Plan. All costs and expenses incurred in
carrying out this work including permit fees, consultants' fees, contractors' charges and removal,
haulage, tipping and storage fees for remediation, correcting, treating, removing, containing or
capping the Adverse Environmental Conditions, shall be paid as follows:
. as to the first $2.5 million of eligible expenses, by the Authority
. as to the next $2.5 million of eligible expenses, by Canada Post
. as to the balance of all eligible expenses and all other expenses, by the Authority.
In early 1998, Canada Post and TRCA came to agreement on implementing the site remediation
plan in a cost-effective way which would allow for the sharing (50/50) of any potential savings on
Canada Post $2.5 million.
At its Meeting #2/95 held March 31, 1995, the Authority adopted the following resolution to prepare
the Site Remediation Plan and Park Master Plan:
Res. #A47/95:
"THA T the consultant team led by Hough Stansbury Woodland Naylor Dance Limited,
including Raven Beck Environmental Ltd. and Angus Environmental Limited, be retained to
prepare the integrated park master plan and site remediation plan at a total cost of $173, 775
(excluding GST);
THA T the Authority express its thanks to the consulting teams led by Golder Associates Ltd.
and Senes Consultants Limited for their efforts in preparing and presenting their proposals;
AND FURTHER THAT the members of the 1400 Lakeshore (former Canada Post) Steering
Commmeebesoadwse~"
The purpose of this study was to determine the nature and extent of contaminants on the site,
identify methods of rehabilitating the lands to permit public uses, and develop innovative ideas for
the incorporation of the site as a major regional attraction along the Lake Ontario Waterfront. A
technical steering committee was formed by the partnership of participating agencies to oversee
the study and'enst:lf~-that~l-publie-1flterestS'Were-addressed-in.the-c:levelopment of the park and
site remediation master plan.

BACKGI~OUND
The TRCA was made aware of the river erosion adjacent to 83 Burnhamthorpe Road in 1990. Since
that timEl, this section of the Mimico Creek has eroded rapidly. In fact, the continuous impacts of
frequent high water flows in Mimico Creek have scoured the existing coincident riverbank at the site
to the pc)int that it is threatening the residence at 83 Burnhamthorpe Road and the roadway itself.
The erosion is occurring both on the roadway right-of-way and privately owned lands. This site
ranks hi!~h on our erosion p~iority list. Remedial work is proposed for 1999.
RATIONALE
The Authority received three proposals for the design of the works as follows:
1. Aquafor Beech Limited $ 15,515
2. Golder Associates Ltd. $ 21,523
3. M. M. Dillon Limited $ 23,968
The con:sultants were evaluated on the following criteria:
- the written proposal;
- experience and expertise of key members of the consulting team;
- understanding of background information, project, environmental

BACKGROUND
The Arsenal Lands (former Canada Post Property) is located at 1400 Lakeshore Road East, on the
shore of Lake Ontario in the south east corner of the City of Mississauga. The property has a
frontage of approximately 440 metres on Lakeshore Road. It is bounded on the east and south by
Marie Curtis Park, to the west' is the Lakeview Water Pollution Control Plant (MOEE) J and the
Lakeview Generating Station (Ontario Hydro).
The site (approximately 16 ha) was originally developed by the Department of National Defence as
a small arms and munitions manufacturing facility during the Second World War. Post-war years
included a variety of manufacturing uses, with the site's final use as a Canada Post sorting facility
from 1981 to 1992.
The site's history of military and manufacturing land uses and operations over a long period of time,
have resulted-i~ite-1hat-has--lost-most-ofits-natlJTaI-quafities-antl-has"been fenced off since the
1940's. Years of neglect and difficult land uses have resulted in soil and ground water contamination
on parts of the site, raising issues of public health and questions as to the best method of
remediating the site for future use.
SeptembElr 11, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/98 B489
Following environmental auditing of the site, the property was purchased in 1991 for the purpose
of parks and open space, through a joint collaboration involving the City of Toronto (formerly
Metropolitan Toronto), The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the Regional Municipality
of Peel, the City of Mississauga, and the Province of Ontario. The acquisition is a significant asset
in the dlwelopment of a waterfront parcel that together with Marie Curtis Park comprises 41 ha of
parkland.
The property transaction was completed on October 30, 1992, and title was transferred from the
Canada Post Corporation to TRCA (formerly MTRCA).
The total cost for the acquisition was $18,000,000 including the purchase price ($14,500,000), taxes,
fees and other ancillary costs associated with the transaction.
Through the agreement of purchase, up to $5,000,000 was set aside to prepare the required
remediation plan and implement the Site Remediation Plan. All costs and expenses incurred in
carryingl out this work including permit fees, consultants' fees, contractors' charges and removal,
haulage!, tipping and storage fees for remediation, correcting, treating, removing, containing or
capping the Adverse Environmental Conditions, shall be paid as follows:
ct as to the first $2.5 million of eligible expenses, by the Authority
ct as to the next $2.5 million of eligible expenses, by Canada Post
ct as to the balance of all eligible expenses and all other expenses, by the Authority.
In early 1998, Canada Post and TRCA came to agreement on implementing the site remediation plan
in a cost-effective way which would allow for the sharing (50/50) of any potential savings on Canada
Post $2.5 million.
At its Me,eting #2/95 held March 31, 1995, the Authority adopted the following resolution to prepare
the Site Remediation Plan and Park Master Plan:
f~es. #A47/95:
"THA T ?he consultant team led by Hough Stansbury Woodland Naylor Dance Limited,
including Raven Beck Environmental Ltd. and Angus Environmental Limited, be retained to
,prepare the integrated park master plan and site remediation plan at a total cost of $173,775
(excluding GST);
THA T the Authority express its thanks to the consulting teams led by Golder Associates Ltd.
clnd Senes Consultants Limited for their efforts in preparing and presenting their proposals;
AND FUM-HfR~HAT-tlte-members'cf-the """'OO'i:ttlreshoreiformer Canada Post) Steering
Gommittee be so advised. ..
The purpose of this study was to determine the nature and extent of contaminants on the site,
identify methods of rehabilitating the lands to permit public uses, and develop innovative ideas for
the incClrporation of the site as a major regional attraction along the Lake Ontario Waterfront. A
technicl:~ steering committee was formed by the partnership of participating agencies to oversee
the study and ensure that all public interests were addressed in the development of the park and
site remediation master plan.
8490 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/98 September 11, 1998
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Authority staff will be preparing the site, i.e. site office, site survey to reference remediation, project
sign, etc. in mid-September. Notice of the proposed site works will be forwarded to all political
representatives, the Arsenal Lands Working Committee and public on the projec~ mailing list. The
Consultant will provide the Authority with expertise and direction during the excavation and
segregation of hazardous and non-hazardous soils in a manner that is protective of human health
and the environment as set out in the Site Remediation Plan (January 31,1997).
RATIONALE
The decision to award DE&S the consulting contract was based on the following information:
. DE&S was first retained by the TRCA in 1991 to carry out a detailed site characterization of
the Arsenal Lands in support of negotiations to purchase the property. DE&S has played an
integral role in the development of the remediation plan and is solely responsible for the
work plan. Awarding DE&S the consulting work will provide continuity to the project and will
negate costs associated with the introduction of a consultant unfamiliar with the site history.
. DE&S hourly labour rates listed below are within a range commonly used in the consulting
industry:
Senior Hydrogeologist $100/hour
Intermediate Hydrogeologist $ 74/hour
Hydrogeologist $ 50/hour
Administrative Assistant $ 40/hour
. TRCA will superVise and manage all remediation work. DE&S consulting requirements will
be determined by TRCA staff on a per diem basis.
DE&S has now completed the remediation work plan as agreed to by TRCA and Canada Post
Corporation. Both parties are in agreement that the most cost effective approach to implement the
remediation work plan involves overall site supervision / management by the TRCA with consulting
requirements provided by DE&S. TRCA will utilize its own equipment contractor for all excavation
and loading of contaminated soils, while haulage and disposal will be tendered separately. The
work is expected to begin by late September and is expected to be complete by the Spring of 1999.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The site remediation plan implementation is being carried out in accordance with an approach
concurred with by Canada Post to be cost effective. Any savings under the $5,000,000 remediation
funds will be shared equally between TRCA and Canada Post.

RATIONALE
The appllication was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prooosa[:
The proposal consists of placing fill material as part of the restoration of existing steps and three 0.5
metre hi!;Jh retaining walls (ranging in length from 1.0 metre to 2.0 metres), as well as repairing an
existing deck/pool change room in the rear yard of the subject property. Only the northern third (ie.
backyard area) of the subject lands is located within the Fill Regulated Area of the West Don River.
Control of Flooding:
The entire property is situated outside the Regional Storm flood plain.
Pollution:
No sedimentation is expected as part of the works. The new retaining walls will act as sediment
barriers during construction; the proposed repairs to the existing deck/pool change room will not
disturb the existing valley slope.
Conservation of Land:
The existing steps, retaining walls, and deck/pool change room were originally built into the upper-
most portion of the West Don River valley wall at this location (the deck forms the roof of the pool
change room); the existing in-ground swimming pool is located on the tableland portion of the
backyard. There is no record of previous TRCA approval for the existing structures along the upper
valley wiall on this property. ' ' ' .. . ' '. .
B502 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/98 September 11, 1998
Authority staff have inspected the site and confirm that the valley slope portion of the rear yard is
presently in a stable condition, with no signs that the previous construction has impacted the
stability of the valley wall on this property. It is staffs opinion that a geotechnical report is not
required in support of the proposal, as the works are minor in nature and involve r~storation of the
existing structures without further expansion. The existing backyard development on this property
is consistent with other structural encroachments found along this reach of the valley corridor. The'
only fill placement proposed as part of the works include backfilling behind the new retaining walls
and returning this area to pre-development grades. All filled and disturbed areas will be stabilized
with a native seed mix and revegetated with native trees and shrubs.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to construct a new house on an existing lot that has been previously
undeveloped. A portion of the lot is within the flood plain of a small tributary of the Carruthers Creek. '
The upstream drainage area is less than 125 hectares, and much of the flow in the small remnant
watercourse which crosses the rear of the property has been diverted away. In general the area is
very flat, and flooding under Regional Storm conditions is caused by a back up from the main
Carruthers Creek corridor. The development on the lot will require regrading to produce a building
envelop outside of the flood plain. The existing remnant channel will not be altered.
Control of Flooding:
The consultant for the owner has satisfactorily demonstrated that the site can be regraded using a
balanced cut and fill technique to produce a building envelop entirely outside of the flood plain and
that meets the Town of Ajax by-law requirements. Flooding up stream or downstream of the
property will not be affected.
The remnant watercourse feature no-longer functions as a watercourse because of the diversion of
water upstream and because of filling and piping on adjacent lots. However, the remaining feature
does act to collect local drainage from the adjacent lots. There is a history of frequent nuisance
flooding in the neighborhood as well as a high water table. Until this bigger problem can be
addr~ed through a comprehensive study, the Town of Ajax and the local residents are interested
in retaining the current drainage function of the lot. The owner has agreed to accommodate the
drainage and is willing to register on title to the property that this function must remain. In addition
the Town is proposing a drainage easement to ensure this function remains and/or to undertake
remedial works in the future.
Pollution:
Equipment may have to cross the remnant watercourse feature to complete the regrading; however,
the works will be done under dry conditions, and in the case of a rainfall event, any water and
sediment will be prevented from migrating downstream because the downstream culvert is perched
20 cm higher than the invert of the watercourse feature.
Conservation of Land:
Staff do not consider the remnant watercourse feature a watercourse; however, the former riparian
area is well vegetated. Through the development of the site plan the applicant is proposing to retain
as much of the healthy vegetation as possible. In addition, the watercourse feature and adjacent
area will be planted with native woody species to discourage the manicuring of this area and
disruption of the drainage function.

Proposal:
The North Toronto Chinese Alliance Church is proposing to develop a new church site. The existing
parcel i~~ currently a residential property which is 2.62 ha in size. There is a small tributary of the
Rouge Fliver whichblsectslhe propettylowards ttie'eaSt side:-.ne 1/000 plain for this watercourse
splits in 'two directions and encircles the site of the current house. A walkout from the basement of
the exis,ting structure is currently flood vulnerable. There is a small pond on the east side of the
property, off-line, but adjacent to the watercourse. There is a second pond on the west side of the
property. Both ponds are in the flood plain, and with the exception of the extreme east side of the
site, the entire site is fill regulated.
8510 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/98 September 11, 1998
The applicant proposes to construct a substantial addition on to the existing house and provide
parking spaces at the front of the structure. An additional parking lot is to be constructed at the east
side of the property which will be accessed by crossing the watercourse. The new structure and
parking areas are outside of the flood plain.
A driveway access to Bathurst Street and a new crossing of the watercourse are required. Both of
these require some placement of fill in the flood plain. The new, crossing will, allow for the removal
of a 25 meter section of pipe.
Control of Flooding:
Through the required filling for the driveway access to the parking lot on the east side of the
watercourse, the current house structure will be flood protected with a small berm. The driveway
access to Bathurst Street is to be constructed mostly at grade. Two existing landscape berms
currently in the flood plain will be excavated away to compensate for any loss of flood plain storage
associated with the filling. In addition, a hydraulic analysis was done which demonstrates that there
is no change in the upstream and downstream characteristics of flooding caused by this proposed
development.
The flooding over the proposed driveway is a maximum of 0.7 meters deep. This provides safe
access for emergency vehicles. These flood depths are consistent with the flooding over the
existing driveway access to the house which abuts the south side of the new driveway. The existing
driveway will remain in place as it provides access to a separate commercial greenhouse business.
Pollution:
Sediment fencing will be installed between the work site, and the watercourse and ponds prior to
construction and regrading, and remain in place until the site has stabilized. The culvert
replacement and new channel will be constructed in the dry by-passing the flows around the
affected reach.
Conservation of Land:
The two ponds are being protected and enhanced with native vegetation. Riparian planting is also
being provided around the watercourse. Planting is proposed between the east parking lot and the
pond to provide a buffer for water quality treatment.
The reach of the watercourse that is being daylighted is to be restored using natural channel design
principles. The proposal has been reviewed by the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans
staff and is considered a net benefit to fish habitat.
Policy Guidelines:
The works are consistent with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as
it relates to Section-4:2:2"Existing-6evek~fJlllt::, It =1DTReptacement"Structures and (F) Opportunities

As stipulated in the OPA 129 policies, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be submitted
in support of any proposal which can potentially impact the existing EPA and Ecological Restoration
zones. Authority technical staff has reviewed an EIS report submitted by the applicant's consultant
and finds the prescribed measures to protect and enhance the ecological integrity of the site to be
satisfactory. The EIS report confirms that this sparsely vegetated property will be developed in a
manner that will re-introduce native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plant material throughout the site
to enhance the terrestrial habitat potential within the EPA.and Ecological Restoration zones.
Furthermore, the existing intermittent drainage swale which originates from the Catfish Pond and
crosses the subject lands will be maintained and enhanced by riparian vegetation; the infiltration pits
will promote groundwater recharge from impervious surfaces such as the driveway and roof.
Detailed design drawings will be submitted outlining all recommendations contained within the EIS
report accepted by staff. The floating dock is anchored on the shoreline and will not have a negative
impact on fish habitat.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.2.2(G) - Infilling - and - Section 4.2.2(E) - Property
Improvements and Ancillary Structures - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program, as well as the approved Functional Servicing Plan for Area nB" of OPA 129.

ProDosa[:
The Town of Richmond Hill is proposing to extend an existing culvert under 19th Avenue by 3.0
meters which carries a cold water tributary of the Rouge River (Rouge .C"). 19th Avenue has been
resurfact!d through this site, and the grade of the shoulder has been over steepened. The shoulder
is slumping at this location which threatens the road.
Control of Flooding:
The CUIvI!rt is to be extended only and will retain the same hydraulic capacity as the existing culvert.
There wm be no impacts on the control of flooding.
Pollution.:
The construction will be undertaken in the dry by damming and pumping around the work site. All
disturbed areas will be stabilized immediately following the works to prevent the movement of
sediment.
Conservation of Land:
The existing and proposed culvert will be buried below the invert of the stream allowing for fish
passage'. The work will take one or two days to complete and will be done prior to September 15
so that the cold water fishery is not disturbed. The disturbed lands within the riparian area will be
planted with native woody species.
Staff arE! currently seeking authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The
proposed design mitigates impacts on fish habitat.
Policv Guidelines:
The wor~:s are consistent with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as
it relates to Section 4.3 Infrastructure and Servicing.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
The proposal consists of placing fill material for lot grading and constructing a storm water
management pond on line to an intermittent tributary stream, as part of the development of
Residential subdivision 19T-97006.
The northeast corner of the property is located within the Fill Regulated Area of the Rouge River.
The river at this point is coincident with the valley slope and is eroding.
The proposed storm water management pond will be constructed on line to an intermittent tributary
which ~rains an upstream area of less than 125 hectares. The tributary is not presently fill regulated;
however, fill lines are proposed to encircle the watercourse as part of the Authority's on-going Fill
Regulation Extension Program.
Control of Flooding:
No part of the development will occur within the Regional Storm flood plain of the Rouge River.
Pollution:
A combination of silt fencing, rock check dams, and catch basin sediment traps will impede the
overland migration of construction-generated sediments. In addition, the proposed storm water
management facility will act as a sediment pond until all filled and disturbed areas have been
revegetated; the ultimate design of the pond will provide Level 1 water quality control for fisheries
habitat and will be designed as a wetland facility.
Conservation of Land:
Staff has reviewed a geotechnical report submitted by the applicant's consultant which recommends
a five metre lot line setback from the projected stable slope limit at the northeast corner of the site.
This setback will provide protection of the rear lots over a projected 100 year period. In addition,
the toe of the slope-is.eeiAg~iUzed-wUA-plaAting~8.S'1'8I1-of-replacement of the culvert crossing
at Leslie Street which is to be undertaken by the Region of York, and is the subject of a separate
permit application. The remainder of the subject lands are situated on tableland.
Septembe~ 11, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/98 8515
The proposed pond will be located at the upper-most limit of the tributary stream located at the
southeast corner of the property. The channel at this location is ill-defined. The stream corridor
downstrElam of the proposed pond contains a well-defined channel, is well vegetated, and base flow
begins at this point of the corridor reach. In addition to extensively planting the storm water
management pond with native woody, herbaceous, and aquatic vegetation, the facility will be
designed to promote infiltration to enhance base flow conditions downstream as well as to maintain
cold water outflow to the stream. The runoff control criteria and the location of the storm water
management facility was established through the Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP)
previously approved under Official Plan Amendment 113 for the Town of Richmond Hill.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, Section 3.1.1 - Valley Corridor
Boundary and Section 4.1.1 C - New Urban Development - of the Authority's Valley and Stream
Corridor Management Program, as we" as the development criteria contained within the MESP for

RES.#B139/98 - RIZMI HOLDINGS LIMITED, CITY OF VAUGHAN
Referrals to the Ontario Municipal Board
Receipt of a resolution of Council of the City of Vaughan regarding referrals
to the Ontario Municipal Board on the City of Vaughan an~ Region of York
Official Plans by Rizmi Holdings Umited (Rizmi).
Moved by: Michael Di Biase
Seconded by: Jim McMaster
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the City of Vaughan be advised that upon formal circulation of
development applications regarding the Rizmi Holdings Limited property, Authority staff will
report further to the Authority respecting said applications and any settlement proposals put
forward by the applicant in the context of such applications;
AND FURTHER THAT the Regional Municipality of York, the Ontario Municipal Board and Rlzmi
Holdings Limited be so advised ........................................ CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Staff reported on a number of referrals to the City of Vaughan Official Plan (OPA 400) as they relate
to Authority program and policy interests at Meeting #4/96, held June 14, 1996. One of the referrals
related to the subject parcel of land located in Lots 30 & 31, Concession 2 WYS, north of Teston
Sideroad, between Dufferin Street and Bathurst Street (Attachment 1). The corresponding policies
of OPA 400 regarding Landform Conservation and Aggregate Resources have also been referred
to the Ontario MUr-licipal Board.
The lands in question are partially located within the McGill Environmentally Significant Area (ESA
73), within the Oak Ridges Moraine and headwaters of the Don River. This site is also designated
an Area of Natural & Scientific Interest (ANSI) by the Ministry of Natural Resources. The lands are
designated "Rural Use Area" in OPA 400, and are partially identified as an ESA and ANSI. The
landowners object to these designations on the grounds that the lands have been identified by the
Ministry of Natural Resources as having aggregate deposits considered to be Sand and Gravel
Resource of Primary Significance. Accordingly, it is the opinion of the landowners that these lands
should be designated "Mineral Aggregate Resources Area".
The ESA affecting this property was adopted as part of the Authority's inventory of Environmentally
Significant Areas at Meeting #12/95, held January 26, 1996. The significance of this natural area
.within the Authority's jurisdiction was confirmed through field investigations; the property in question
contains a large portion of the central part of the McGill ESA, and contributes substantially to the
significance of this natural area
Staff were authorised-to. represent-Authority .interests-before1he-entario-Municipal Board (Meeting
#4/96, June 14, 1996) and to continue to pursue the resolution of Authority issues in cooperation
with relevant parties and/or participants prior to the Hearing.
Septembl3r 11. 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/98 8521
STATUS UPDATE
There have been ongoing meetings and discussions amongst the parties (City of Vaughan, Region
of York, Rizmi, TRCA) towards the possible resolution of these referrals. To date there have been
three Pna-Hearing Conferences of the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), with a fourth scheduled for
December 7, 1998.
In Marcl1 of this year Rizmi brought forward a settlement proposal on a "without prejudice" basis,
which was pr~sented to the parties for their consideration. After several meetings between the
pUblic a!;Jencies and Rizmi, the City of Vaughan (further to discussions with the Region of York and
TRCA) ,advised Rizmi that it would not comment on any settlement proposal in the absence of
specific applications for rezoning and official plan amendment being made for the subject property.
In light elf the City's formal position, counsel for the Authority advised staff not to provide comments
on any ~iettlement proposal but rather to comment through the public process which the City was
now requiring. The Region of York concurred in this position. As a result, Rizmi brought the matter
back before the OMB and a Pre-Hearing Conference was held on August 12,1998.
Prior to this last Pre-Hearing Conference, counsel for the Authority was provided a copy of a
resoluticln adopted by Vaughan Council through a Closed Session of Committee of the Whole held
July 27, 1998 (Attachment 2). The resolution dealt predominantly with the City's position regarding
the setth!ment proposal in relation to the Rizmi referrals, however an additional clause was added,
as follows:
.
II That Council request TRCA to provide comments in writing as soon as possible to' the
settlement-proposal of the environmental issues for the remaining lands, and that these
comments be provided to Council, and staff to report to Council upon receipt of the TRCA
comments with recommendations." [Clause 2)iii)f)]
The rescllution of Vaughan Council was filed with the OMB at the Pre-Hearing Conference of August
12, 199EI. Counsel for the Authority advised the Board that instructions had not been sought from
the Authority given it had only received the resolution, and advised a report would be going forward
to the Authority on this matter. Counsel also submitted to the Board that it was inconsistent for
. Vaughan Council to require that applications be made by Rizmi and processed in the normal
fashion, permitting public input and the input of all relevant agencies, and yet request the Authority
to provicle comments in advance of making any applications. The Board gave no indication that it
was interested in imposing this requirement on the Authority.
The matter of filing applications was canvassed thoroughly before the Board at the Pre-Hearing
Conference and it was the City of Vaughan's position that applications for OPA and rezoning were
required to obtain public input and permit the necessary review by all public agencies with the
relevant expertise. Rizmi acknowledged that such applications were necessary, however voiced
concern that the-filing--of-applications-for-OPA-and-rezoning-wocld 1ielay' the applications which
Rizmi hia5 filed with the Ministry of Natural Resources for an aggregate extraction licence on a
portion l)f the lands which are zoned M4-lndustrial and permit such extraction.
In light I:>f the submissions of all the parties, the Board set a further Pre-Hearing Conference for
December 7, 1998. At that time, Rizmi will know the outcome of its application for licence on the M4-
Industriul lands and whether there are any objections to it. If so, Rizmi will doubtless wish to
consoliclate the M4-lndustrial lands with the referrals on the remainder of the lands.
B522 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/98 September 11, 1998
In the meantime, Rizmi is considering the matter of filing applications for rezoning and OPA on the
remainder of the lands and will advise all parties accordingly.
In light of the submissions of all parties at the Pre-Hearing Conference and the discussions which
followed, it is the recommendation of counsel for the Authority that the City of Vaughan be advised
that the Authority will provide its comments in an expeditious manner and in accordance with any
procedure agreed to by all parties, once the applications which the City is requiring of Rizmi are filed
and circulated for comment.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Authority staff will be reporting on both the aggregate extraction licence application and any
proposed development applications affecting the Rizmi lands once received. Staff will continue to
work with the parties towards a satisfactory resolution of Authority issues, and will report on any
progress and/or possible settlement opportunities prior to the commencement of the Ontario
Municipal Board Hearing.

RES.#B140/98 - MILNE RESERVOIR
Letter of Intent to Implement Compensation Measures related to the design
and construction of a fish ladder.
Signing of agreement for the design and construction of a,fish ladder at the
Milne Reservoir.
Moved by: Donna Patterson.
Seconded by: Maria Augimeri
r THAT the Authority enter into an agreement with the Ministry of Natural Resources,
Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Ontario Streams, and Law Development Group (Cornell)
Umited for the design and construction of a fish ladder at the Milne Reservoir. The project will
be funded by Law Development Group (Cornell) Limited .................... CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In November 1997, the Authority passed Resolution #A278/97 that directed staff to participate in the
preparation of a Letter of Intent to Implement Compensation Measures related to the design and
construction of a fish ladder at the Milne Reservoir Dam.
Staff of TRCA have worked closely with representative of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR),
Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Ontario Streams and Law Development Group (Cornell)
Limited and are prepared to recommend the signing of the five party agreement. The Town of
Markham manages lands owned by TRCA adjacent to the Milne Reservoir and have been included
in discussions related to the construction of a fishway to ensure Town of Markham concerns have
been addressed.
In 1995, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources initiated a project to determine the appropriate
design for a fishway to allow fish to move upstream, past the Milne Reservoir Dam. The project was
conducted in consultation with the local municipalities, MTRCA, as well as Save the Rouge, Save
the Oak Ridges Moraine and the public. The project followed a Class Environmental Assessment
for Small Scale MNR Projects.
The need to achieve fish passage at the Milne Reservoir Dam was identified in the Rouge River
Fisheries Management Plan. The overall objective of the Rouge Fish Plan is to:
"Protect, rehabilitate and enhance the Rouge River watershed so that it will support
healthy, self-sustaining fish populations consisting of cold and warmwater fish
communities, where appropriate."
In order to develop self-sustaining migratory fish populations where they once existed in the Rouge,
the Fish Plan -identifiecHMHt-wottld--be-neeessary-1o-moclify-existing. onUne dams to allow fish
passage. The Milne Reservoir Dam was identified in the Fish Plan as one of the major barriers to
achieving the fisheries objective for the watershed. The Rouge Fish Plan was approved at Authority
meeting #2/94 and later endorsed by the ~inistry of Natural Resources and watershed
municipalities.
Septemb43r 11, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/98 8527
In 1996, the Ministry of Natural Resources completed their report entitled: "Milne Reservoir Fishway
Project Plan" and since then have been looking for opportunities to implement the preferred design
identifie!d in their report. In 1997, the design and implementation of fish passage at the Milne
Reservoir Dam was identified as possible fish h.abitat compensation for the proposed loss of fish
habitat lit the Cornell Community in the Town of Markham.
Since the Authority owns the Milne Reservoir Dam, Authority staff were asked to participate in the
preparation of a letter of intent with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Ontario Ministry of
Natural Hesources, Law Development Group (Cornell) Limited, and Ontario Streams to design and
implem4!nt the preferred design in the Ministry report Milne Reservoir Fisl1way Project Plan.
RATIONALE
Authority staff have participated in the development of the conceptual proposal for a fishway at Milne
and the project is consistent with the r:ecommendations in the Rouge River Fisheries Management
Plan.
The agmement has been developed to ensure the Authority will be reviewing and approving detailed
design Sind construction of the fishway, and ensuring appropriate liability protection. The agreement
also pmvides for public consultation on the project prior to construction.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Following the signing of the Letter of Intent, design preparation will begin along with a public open
house: It is anticipated final design will be completed by the end of December 1998 "and
constrUl:tion will be completed by September 1999.
The Authority will be entering into a separate agreement with MNR for the on-going management
of the fish ladder.
FUTURI: BENEFITS
Fish passage at the Milne Reservoir will complement the passage that has already been achieved
at Toog':>od Pond in Unionville, several kilometres up stream. In fact, mitigation of the Milne Dam
is the final step in achieving passage of migratory trout into Bruce Creek where suitable spawning
habitat E~xists.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The project will be funded by Law Development Group (Cornell) Limited. A letter of credit for the
entire project will be held by the Authority to safeguard our interests as the owner and manager of
the Res4!rvoir structure.

Dear Mayor Black and Councillors:
Subject: fiJI Resrulations and J~uance of Pennlts
This letter will acknowledge receipt of your letter dated September 10, 1998 regarding the above,
! and reflllrt on actions taken as a result.
I
A preliminary discussion has occurred with the Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to
discuss the municipality's concerns. A further response from each Conservation Authority is
forthcoming.
...
The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) has placed your correspondence on our
October 2, 1998 Board of Directors' agenda for consideration.
In the interim. we can advise that Conservation Authorities arc established under The Conservation
Authorities Act, 1946. Conservation Authorities arc based on watersheds; our boundaries arc fonned
by rivers and the lands draining into these rivers. In the case of King Township, two Conservation
~ Authorities arc within your boundaries. The TRCA encompasses those rivers flowing south to Lake
Ontario and the LSRCA includes those rivers in your municipality which flow north into Lake
Simcoe. 1 have attached a map in order to illustrate this situation.
I have also enclosed a copy of The Conservation Authorities Act which outlines the manda1c for
Conservation Authorities. Funher, I have enclosed a copy of the LSRCA's Strategic Plan which
addresses our mission and our goals. Further, we provided each Councillor with an outline of our
programs and projects 31 our May 25, 1998 presentation to Council. We would be pleased to attend
a future Council meeting to discuss our mandate further:md would request that Council advise us In
this regard.
Further, our staff met with Mr. Ted Allen and Councillors Morning, Underhi11 and Pabst on
September 17, 1998 to discuss the Nunes' IIpplication. A site visit to the Nunes' property was also
arranged for the same day. Mr. Nunes has been issued with a violation notice and this matter will be

Flood Plain and Conservation Component Duffins Creek Watershed
Robert E. Young Construction Ud., James Dick Construction Limited and St.
Lawrence Cement Inc. (Timbers Brothers Sand & Gravel Limited Property)
CFN 11532. Acquisition of property located on the west side of Concession
Line 6, north of the Pickering/Uxbridge Town Line, Township of Uxbridge,
Regional Municipality of Durham.
Moved by: Gerri Lynn O'Connor
Seconded by: Jim McMaster
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 95.57 acres, more or less, be acquired
from Robert E. Young Construction Ltd., James Dick Construction Limited and St. Lawrence
Cement Inc.(Timbers Brothers Sand & Gravel Limited Property), said lands being Parts of Lots
2 and 3, Concession 6, Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham, situate on the
west side of Concession Line 6, north of the Pickering/Uxbridge Town Line;
THAT the purchase price be $400,000;
THAT prior to completion of the transaotion, satisfactory arrangements be made for
rehabilitation of the gravel pit on the property;
THAT the Authority receive conveyance of the land required free from encumbrance, subject
to existing service easements;
THAT Gardiner Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete the transaction
at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for
land transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to be paid;
AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to execute
all necessary documentation required ................................... CARRIED
. BACKGROUND
Authority staff has over the past several years, had discussions with the Timbers family regarding
the purchase of the property. However, members of the Timbers family have alway felt the value
of the property was considerable higher than the Authority's appraised value.
In early 1997 the second mortgagees, Robert E. Young Construction Ltd., James Dick Construction
Limited and St. t:awreneEfCementlnc. proceel:led to 6lferlhe property for sale under Power of Sale.
Authority staff, after extensive discussions with these firms, has now negotiated a tentative
arrangement, which is supported with independent appraisal information.
October 1 6, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/98 8537
The details are as follows:
(a) Purchase Price of $400,000;
(b) Closing date of December 15, 1998;
(c) Subject to fulfilment of the following conditions:
(I) Approval of the Members of the Authority by October 30, 1998;
(II) Obtaining all necessary funding by October 30, 1998;
(III) Receiving confirmation that The Ontario Aggregate Resources Corporation (TOARC)
will undertake the rehabilitation of the property.
Staff will be making a presentation to the TOARC Board on October 28, 1998, to attempt to secure
a commitment for the rehabilitation of the site.
RATIONAL
The site includes an abandoned sand and gravel pit but also includes a surprising diversity of
meadow, hedgerow, forest and wetland communities. The Authority has designated a small portion
of the rei3l' of the property as the Uxbridge Forest Kames Environmentally Significant Area (ESA #
111) and the Province has designated a larger part of the rear of the property as a Provincial
SignificcU1t Earth Science ANSI.
A combiined forestry and terrestrial inventory of the property was conducted in 1992 by Authority
staff to determine the quality of existing habitats, and assess the potential for future enhancement
of the property and its integration with the surrounding natural areas. The following are excerpts
from thai inventory.
The results of the fieldwork indicate that the area is of sufficient diversity and potential to
warrant inclusion into the existing natural habitat blocks in the area. Several of the existing
\/egetation communities are already functioning as important botanical, forestry and wildlife
crreas and would benefit from further protection of the property.
The diversity of this property, especially the wetland, meadow and woodlot communities
indicate a high degree of habitat potential. Rehabilitation and enhancement work at this site
. should be modified to preserve at least a portion of each of these communities.
The wetland on the property should be preserved and protected. The current southern
t>oundary of the gravel pit encroaches on the northern edge of the wetland and is causing an
ongoing siltation problem. This bank should be stabilized and eventually replanted to
increase the functional buffer around the wetland.
The hardwood forest community on the property has the potential to develop into a healthy
mature stand with many potential den and feeder trees for wildlife. In addition to providing
cl protective buffer for the woodlo~ the diversity and potential of this stand could be increased
by encouraging succession in the adjacent field community to the west. At present this area
tS almost exclusively dominated by a ground cover of Canada Goldenrod (canadensis), which
could be artificially disturbed and planted with appropriate species to increase diversity and
flelp create an uneven-aged forest community.
B538 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/98 October 16, 1998
The property is located on the Oak Ridges Moraine Complex. The area is important to the
TRCA because the deposition of tills, sands and gravel outwash work as a m~jor groundwater
recharge zone and principal source area for Duffins Creek.
A total of 21 species of birds were identified at this site, including the regionally rare Wood
Duck (Aix sponsa) and uncommon Rufous-sided Towhee (Pipilo erythropthalmus). 111
species of vascular plants were also identified from seven distinct communities, indicating a
relatively high diversity of habitat types for an area of this size. One regionally uncommon
species, Purple Dead Nettle (Lamium purpureum), was discovered at the borders of a small
wetiand community in the southeastern corner of the property. n
This property is one of the last remaining large privately owned blocks of land in this vicinity.
OPERATIONS
The acquisition of this property will improve the network of trails, wildlife habitat and viewing areas
for those that enjoy our lands. This property will provide the opportunity for a trail head and parking
area.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Community residents have been interested in and supportive of the Authority's acquisition of the site
for several years. A community group has confirmed that they will contribute $100,000. through the
Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto for the acquisition.
The Members of The Charles Sauriol Environmental Land Trust Committee at Meeting #6/98 held
on September 17, 1998, adopted the following resolution:
THAT THE CHARLES SAURIOL ENVIRONMENTAL LAND TRUST COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS
to the Board of Directors of The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto that the
Foundation, through the Charles Sauriol Environmental Land Trust Committee adopt the
Timbers Brothers Sand & Gravel Limited Property as a fundraising project in the amount of
$300,000;
AND FURTHER THAT if the Greenspace for Habitat Campaign is successfully launched, that
the Timbers Brothers Sand & Gravel Limited Property be included within this Umbrella
Campaign.
This item is scheduled for consideration by the Board of Directors of The Conservation Foundation
of Greater Toronto on October 28, 1998.
October 1 6, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/98 B539
The FOLlndation through the Charles Sauriol Environmental Land Trust has, over the last several
years, successfully raised the total amount of their committements to various acquisitions.
It is anticipated that the Foundation will raise the full $300,000 by the end of 1999. The interim
financin!;;J of this acquisition will be from the Land Sale Reserve.
A rehabilitation plan has been prepared by Authority staff. The cost of this work is estimated up to
$150,000.00 and it is proposed that this work will be funded by TOARC.

RES.#B144/98 - CORRESPONDENCE FROM the TOWNSHIP OF KING
The Review of Fill Applications by the Township of King. King Township has
requested of both the Toronto Region and Lake Simcoe Region Conservation
Authorities, that the Township be circulated on all Fill Permit applications.
Moved by: Gerri Lynn O'Connor
Seconded by: Jim McMaster
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Correspondence from the Township
of King dated September 10, 1998, regarding a request for circulation on all Fill Permit
Applications be received and that staff be directed to consult with the Lake Simcoe Region
Conservation Authority prior to reporting back to the Executive Committee with a
recommended response;
AND FURTHER THAT the Township of King be so advised. ...... .. . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In correspondence from the Township of King, dated September 10, 1998, two issues were raised.
The first dealt with the jurisdiction and mandate .of the two Conservation Authorities within the
Township and the second issue dealt with the circulation of Fill Permit Applications.
I have responded to the first issue as has the Lake Simcoe Authority as this was a simple information
request. The second issue does have some implications to the Authority and the applicants and
these need to be reviewed both internally and with the Lake Simcoe Authority prior to responding
to King.
The Township of King's request of both the Toronto and Region and Lake Simcoe Region
Conservation Authorities to circulate all Fill Permit Applications within the Township, has apparently
arisen as a result of a situation within the jurisdiction of the Lake Simcoe Authority however, their
request is to be circulated by both Authorities.
Before responding to the Township's request staff would like to discuss this matter with staff of the
Lake Simcoe Authority in order to determine if a common position can be developed. Staff will
report back with a recommended response to the Township in the near future.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Staff will arrange a meeting with the appropriate staff of the Lake Simcoe Authority and report back.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to redevelop an existing commercial property to provide a mixed
commercial and residential use. The lands abut a channelised branch of the Highland Creek, ~d
the west edge of the property is in the flood plain. Currently the flood plain lands are used as a
parking lot, and a retaining wall approximately 2 metres high, running the length of the property,
divides the lot from the channel block. Upstream and downstream of the site, existing stru.ctures
also extend to the.limit of the channel block.
The proposal is to reconstruct the retaining wall in a new location, six metres further back on the
property from the existing location. This would remove the tableland area from the deepest part of
the flood plain. The remaining flood plain is to continue to be used as parking area forming part of
an underground parking garage.
Control of Flooding:
The grades in the flood plain portion of the parking area are to remain at existing elevations therefore
retaining flood storage characteristics. The area that would be flood vulnerable measures 34 m by
7 m (10 parking spaces) with a maximum depth of flooding of 0.32 m under low velocities. The
remainder of the parking garage is flood protected. These depths of flooding meet the safe access
and egress criteria outlined the Provincial Flood Plain Planning Policy Implementation Guidelines
and the criteria set under the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.
These works will not negatively impact flooding characteristics upstream or downstream of the site.
In addition, there will be a positive contribution to flood storage for the more frequent storm events
with the relocation of1he-retainingwa11:
Pollution:
A sediment fence is to be installed prior to construction and regrading between the retaining wall
and the channel block to prevent sediment from migrating to the watercourse.
October 16, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/98 8555
Conservation of Land:
The applicant is proposing to renaturalize the stream corridor with native woody vegetation where
the existing retaining wall and part of the parking area are located.
The existing stream corridor has been highly modified in the past. The low flow channel is lined with
gabion mat upstream and has been concrete lined downstream. The riparian area is maintained as
grass. This development provides an opportunity for restoration and enhancement of the stream
corridor through widening and providing native woody riparian vegetation.
Policy Guidelines:
This site, is located within a reach of the Highland Creek that has been identified for consideration
as a Spucial Policy Area or Two Zone Area. There have been on-going discussions with City staff
in this regard. Background studies for the Highland Creek Watershed Strategy supports restoration
of the stream corridor as a major objective. In addition, the Secondary Plan (Agincourt Centre) for
this area. sets out polices and objectives for enhancing the stream corridor. Staff are recommending
approvaJ for the following technical reasons:
- the flood depths and velocities on the property are small;
- the flood storage can be maintained;
- the flood plain on the site is already developed;
- the proposed development is consistent with other development in the reach;
- the structure can be adequately flood protected;
- there is an opportunity to undertake restoration of the stream corridor.

8556 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/98 October 16, 1998
ProDosal:
Consumers' Gas is proposing to replace an existing 70 metre long gas line under Rockaway
Crescent which services 6 structures. Currently, the line is located immediately adjacent to the crest
of the waterfront slope which is well vegetated and approximately 18 metres high at this location.
The new alignment will pull it further back from the slope, the closest section being 2.4 metres away.
Rockaway Crescent extends to the edge of the slope and beyond the alignment of the proposed
gas line.
Control of Flooding:
The works are not in the flood plain. There will be no impact on the control of flooding
Pollution:
Sediment fencing will be installed between the work and the top of the slope to prevent any
sediment from migrating down the slope.
Conservation of Land:
There is no history of slope instability in this area. The slope is well vegetated and the toe has been
protected from erosion by wave action from Lake Ontario. The proposed alignment is an
improvement on the existing alignment as it is farther away from the edge of the slope.
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.

Special Policy Area (SPA).
Control of Flooding:
The proposed dwelling units will be f100dproofed to above the 350 year storm flood elevation which
is the minimum level for floodproofing of buildings and structures as stipulated in the SPA
document. Due to By-law building height restrictions and limitations for infrastructure servicing to
the proposed dwellings, Regional Storm flood protection is not achievable for this site. Expected
flooding under Regional Storm conditions is 0.6 metres above existing grade, with an associated
velocity of flow of 0 metres per second. In addition, no fill placement is proposed as part of the
work!?; e!xisting grades around the new buildings will remain unchanged.
Pollutiorl:
Sedimentation is not expected as part of the proposed works, since the site is located more than
300 metres from the watercourse.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposia/:
The proposal consists of placing fill material as part of the installation of a private sewage disposal
system, an entrance driveway, and a new single family dwelling (with attached garage). The majority
of the subject property is located within the Fill Regulated Area; only the eastern third of the lands
are situiated within the Regional Storm flood plain of the Duffins Creek.
Control of Floodinc:
No part of the proposed development will be located within the Regional Storm flood plain.
Pollution:
Sedimentation is not expected as part of the proposed works, since the construction site is located
70 metres from the watercourse.
Conservation of Land:
The building site is located on a gently sloping portion of the Duffins Creek valley corridor. There is
no definable top-of-bank on this property; the existing forest edge east of the work area (it is more
than 10 metres from the tree line at the closest point) is the appropriate development limit for this
site. ThE! area between the road and forest edge is devoid of any woody vegetation and was likely
formerly used as a pasture/grazing area for livestock. Therefore, no resource features will be
impactEld by the proposed works. All filled and disturbed areas will be revegetated following
constru ction.

RATIO~IALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDoss~:
The proposal consists of altering a tributary of the East Don River as part of the development of
Twickenham Park. These previously established open space blocks were conveyed to the Town of
Richmond Hill (through approvals of the adjacent residential subdivisions) and will be designed as
a p~si"e recreational park, which will complement the features and functions of the valley and
stream corridor through this reach of the upper East Don subwatershed. The works involve the
construction of a trail system, including limestone, asphalt, and concrete paving; lookout decks;
elevated crossings over. the watercourse; grading and installation of culverts within existing drainage
patterns; and log/ledgerock walls. The site is not presently fill regulated; however, fill lines are
proposed to encircle the stream corridor as part of the Authority's on-going Fill Regulation Extension
Program.
Control ,of Floodino:
The subject tributary drains an upstream area of less than 125 hectares; therefore, there is no
calculatl!d Regional Storm flood plain for this reach of the tributary.
Pollutiorl:
Silt fencing will be installed at all work zones in close proximity to the watercourse.to impede the
.overland migration of sediments during construction. Existing informal trails will be used for
construc:tion access; construction equipment will not enter or cross the watercourse at any time.
Conservation of Land:
Staff had previOtlSIy-walked the1'oute-of'the-proposedtraiICllignmentwith Town of Richmond Hill
staff and the project consultant to ensure that removal of existing vegetation is minimized. Extensive
planting consisting of native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous vegetation will occur throughout the new

October 1 6, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/98 8579
RATIO~IALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the.basis of the following information:
Proposa~:
The pmposal consists of placing rip-rap fill material for additional erosion protection along the
shorelinE! portion of the property. The existing rip-rap along the shoreline has subsided and resulted
in exposing the earth behind the shore protection; periodic wave action from the lake is eroding the
shorelinE! above the existing rip-rap. This portion of the subject lands are located within the Regional
Storm f1clOd plain and Fill Regulated Area of Lake Wilcox. The near shore area at this location of the
lake is also designated an Environmental Protection Area (EPA1) in accordance with Official Plan
Amendment 129 (OPA 129) for the Town of Richmond Hill.
Controllof Floodina:
Existing grades within the Regional Storm flood plain will be maintained; therefore, the control of
flooding will not be affected by the proposed works.
Pollution:
Sedimentation is not expected as part of the works, since the rip-rap will be placed by hand over top
of the e):isting material.
Conservation of Land:
The worl(s are not in the water and will not negatively affect fish habitat. In order to enhance aquatic
habitat within the EPA 1 zone, staff has requested that emergent native vegetation be planted in front
of the rip-rap to improve potential spawning grounds for Northern Pike. The area behind the
shorelim! protection will be planted with native trees and shrubs to enhance the riparian zone.
Authorization is not required pursuant to the Federal Fisheries Act.
Policv Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.2.2(E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures - of

Control of Flooding:
The site is not located in the floodplain. A stormwater management report has been undertaken
which confirms that water quantity controls are not required (the level of imperviousness will not
change). Water quality equivalent to level 1 control will be provided through the use of oillgrit
separators within the storm sewer system.
Pollution:
The reconstruction of the headwall can occur during dry periods. An on-stream sediment trap is
being provided in case of a discharge from the site.
Conservation of Land:
The outfall and channel area are being protected with armourstone to deal with the high velocity
flows from the outfall. The outfall channel will be regenerated through plantings of native riparian
material. As the channel is intermittent, this is considered to be mitigation of any harmful alteration
to fish habitat.

RATIOt\IALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposa~:
The proposal consists of constructing erosion protection works along a reach of the Massey Creek
between Warden Avenue and Tower Drive. The project involves the construction of a geo-web wall
along one side and above the existing concrete-lined channel at this location. The opposite
stream bank above the concrete channel will be regraded to repair areas of rill erosion. The site is
located within the Regional Storm flood plain of the Massey Creek. There are presently no fill lines
registered in this area; however, fill lines are proposed to encompass the watercourse in accordance
with the Authority's on-going Fill Regulation Extension Program.
Control of Flooding:
Staff has reviewed and accepted a hydraulic impact analysis submitted by the project consultant
which dElmonstrates that the regulatory storm flood elevations and velocities will remain unchanged
through this reach of the Massey Creek as a result of the proposed works.
Pollutior[:
A combination of silt fencing and rock check dams will control sedimentation during construction.
B582 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/98 October 16, 1998
Conservation of Land:
Initially, staff had requested renaturalization of the concrete channel as part of this project. However,
the existing concrete-lined channel is presently in good condition and removing the concrete is not
within the scope of the project budget at this time. The severe erosion within this narrow reach of
the Massey Creek is occurring on the steep banks above the concrete channel. As mentioned
above, only one side of the bank will be stabilized with a geo-web retaining wall; the opposite side
will be regraded (at its present gradient of approximately 2:1 H:V) and revegetated. Authority staff
had originally recommended that the embankment to receive the geo-web wall treatment be graded
back to achieve a gentler gradient and then be stabilized with rip-rap. Unfortunately, grading back
the bank to achieve a gentler slope would extend onto the adjacent privately-owned residential
properties and result in the removal of existing mature trees located at the top-of-bank along the rear
lot lines.
The gee-web wall is made of high density polyethylene and contains voids for planting of vegetation
once it has been backfilled. The applicant has agreed to extensively plant the geo-web wall and
opposite streambank with native tree, shrub, and herbaceous species to enhance the riparian zone
through this reach of the watercourse. Seed mixtures to stabilize the disturbed and filled areas will
also be comprised of native plant material as well. The enhancement of the riparian zone in this
manner will improve the terrestrial habitat linkage features and functions of the stream corridor.
The works will not negatively impact fish habitat. Authorization is not required pursuant to the
federal Fisheries Act.

RATIONIALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
A 4 m by 2.5 m culvert, 24 m long, on Wye Valley Road 'on the Dorset Park branch of the Highland
Creek, is required to be replaced this fall because it is failing and will pose a hazard by next spring
if it is not repaired. The culvert will be replaced with an identical culvert of the same dimensions.
Control of Flooding:
As the si:ze of the culvert is not changing and the road grade is remaining the same, there will be no
impacts on the flood plain.
Pollutior[:
The culvert will be installed "in the dry" by damming and pumping around the site. All disturbed
areas will be seeded or sodded immediately following the works.
Conservation of Land:
Both the terrestrial and aquatic habitats are severely degraded through this reach. The watercourse
has been channelized and lined with concrete. There are several drop structures in the watercourse .
up and downstream of the site that act as barriers to fish movement. It is unclear if there are any fish
using this area of the watercourse at this time; however, there are salmonids using the watercourse
downstn:!am. There is no woody riparian vegetation.
A study has been commissioned through the City of Toronto and is now finalized and approved,
which m.akes recommendations for restoration and enhancement of this corridor. Future studies
will determine the details of for aquatic and terrestrial restoration at this culvert site.
The existing culvert does not act as a barrier to fish as the invert is level with the invert of the stream.
Staff are currently reviewing the works as they may be affected by the Federal Fisheries Act. Minor
design changes may be required as a result of this final review.
Policy Guidelines:
The wor~;s are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program

To alter a waterway on Lot 3,.4, Concession 8, (South of 14 th Ave. west of 9th Line), in the
Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Rouge
Fairways Development Corp.
The purpose is to Construct a Stormwater Management Pond and Storm Outfall To the Rouge River.
The permit will be issued for the period of October 16, 1998 to October 15, 2003.
. Rouge Fairways Subdivision Pond Grading, Cross-sections and Details, and
. Sediment and Erosion Control Plan; prepared by Schaeffer and Associates ltd.;
project # 97-E-1935; Drawings # GR-3, PP-8, SEC2, SEC3, SL-1, D-1 and D-2;
received September 25, 1998.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to undertake works on two different sites on this property. At the first site
fill is to be placed and a retaining wall constructed in a fill regulated area. At the second site a storm
water quality and erosion control pond and outfall are to be constructed.
The fill and retaining wall are within a draw on the tableland within a 10 metre buffer at the top of the
valley slope. The wall is approximately 70 metres long and a maximum of 4 metres high. It is to be
constructed of armourstone and stepped down with native planting between each step.
The pond is designed to treat storm runoff for the first 25 mm of rainfall and will meet the level one
criteria for the-.(eceivmg-stream.~..h:~..aGditm,-tAe-<teteAtien-time of 48.tlours provides erosion
protection for the watercourse downstream. The pond is located adjacent to the top of the valley
slope. The slope has a gentle grade at this location and is devoid of woody vegetation. A filled berm
is required to meet the design requirements of the pond. The outlet for the pond, and for the less
frequent storm events that are not captured in the pond, will be in a pipe down the valley slope.
These storm flows will be dispersed into the flood plain.
October 116, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/98 8585
Control of Floodinc:
The walll and fill is not in the flood plain. The pond outlet does not require changes in grade in the
flood pl,ain. The control of flooding will not be affected by these works.
Pollutiol2:
Sedime!nt fencing will be installed adjacent to and between the retaining wall and the top of the
valley sk)pe to prevent sediment from migrating down the well vegetated slope. Sediment fencing
will also be used to prevent sediment from entering the water and to define the limits of construction
for the pond and outfall. Both these site will be stabilised with seed or sod as soon as possible.
Conservation of Land:
No significant woody vegetation will be disturbed at the site of the retaining wall. Fencing will be
installed to protect adjacent trees from damage. As well, native trees and shrubs will be planted
within the disturbed buffer area and within the wall to restore the site. The existing valley slope is
stable and will not be affected by these works.
Authority staff have reviewed a geotechnical report for the pond which demonstrated that the
existing valley slope is stable and will remain stable following the works. The berm will be properly
compacted to retain the water in the pond, and the pond will be lined to prevent any leakage on the
slope. This pond design, although close to the top of the valley slope, allows for the protection of
an adjacent hardwood wood lot.
The out1a11 has been designed to mitigate any impacts on fish habitat in the Rouge River. There is
active trout spawning in this area, and trout stocking occurs immediately downstream. Authorization
under the Federal Fisheries Act is not required.
Policy Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program
as it relates to Section 4.3 -Infrastructure and Servicing.

Application for Licence under the Aggregate Resources Act. Receipt of a
Notice of Application made pursuant to the Aggregate Resources Act by
Rizmi Holdings Limited (Rizmi) to excavate aggregate from a pit located in
Part Lot 30, Concession 2, City of Vaughan.
Moved by: Michael Di Biase
Seconded by: Maria Augimeri
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Ministry of Natural Resources and the applicant be advised
that The Toronto & Region Conservation Authority objects to the application made by Rizmi
Holdings Limited under the Aggregate Resources Act, for the reasons set out in the staff
report related thereto;
AND FURTHER THAT the City of Vaughan, Region of York, Ministry of Municipal Affairs, and
the Ontario Municipal Board be so advised ......................... . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Authority staff are in receipt of a Notice of Application under the Aggregate Resources Act for a
Category 1, Class A Licence for a 39.7 hectare parcel of land owned by Rizmi Holdings Limited
located in Part Lot 30, Concession 2 WYS, City of Vaughan (Attachment 1). The applicant proposes
to extract 500,000 tonnes annually of sand fill product, of which there is an approximate total of 3.2
million tonnes on the property.
October 18, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/98 8591
The landls which form part of this application are also the subject of a referral of the City of Vaughan
and Region of York Official Plans, which staff reported on at Authority Meeting #4/96 (June 14, 1996)
and Exe!cutive Committee Meeting #7/98 (September 11, 1998). Authority staff were directed to
seek party status at the upcoming Ontario Municipal Board Hearing and to continue to work with the
parties towards a resolution.
The lands collectively known as Rizmi Holdings Limited are made up of four .distinct but contiguous
parcels. While all four parcels are the subject of the referrals under the Planning Act, the application
filed by Rizmi under the Aggregate Resources Act pertains only to the southwest parcel of land
which is zoned M4-lndustrial. Two additional applications under the Aggregate Resources Act are
anticipated for these contiguous lands, however these lands have different corporate ownership and
land USl! considerations. It is anticipated that the applicant will request the consolidation of this
matter with the land use planning issues in front of the Ontario Municipal Board, should an objection
be filed against the Aggregate Resources Act application.
The lands are partially located within the McGill Environmentally Significant Area (ESA 73), within
the Oak Ridges Moraine and headwaters of the Don River. This site is also designated an Area of
Natural c~ Scientific Interest (ANSI) by the Ministry of Natural Resources.
PLANNING CONTEXT
The landls subject to this application are designated "Rural Use Area" in OPA 400, and are partially
identified as an ESA and ANSI. As noted, the land owners have objected to these designations and
referred this matter to the Ontario Municipal Board. The lands were originally designated RU-Rural
under Official Plan Amendment 33 which was adopted by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing
in 1975.
The lands are currently zoned M4-lndustrial. Following the adoption of OPA 33 in 1975, the City of
Vaugharl initiated a rezoning of the property from M4-lndustrial to A-Agriculture; although the zoning
amendment was enacted by.Council, it was subsequently referred to the Ontario Municipal Board
by the owner. To staffs knowledge, the appeal was never dealt with by the Ontario Municipal Board.
The M4-lndustrial zoning allows for the proposed use.
The Re!;;lion of York Official Plan identifies these lands as forming part of the Regional Greenlands
System; as part of an Environmental Policy Area; as Significant Forested Lands; and as a Mineral
Aggregate Resource Area Once again, the applicant has referred these designations to the Ontario
Municip,a1 Board, as well as the related policy sections of the Plan.
Both the! City of Vaughan and Region of York are in the process of reporting to their respective
Council's with respect to the Aggregate Act Application by Rizmi Holdings Limited.
AUTHOIRITY PROGRAM-& P9LiOV-lN=r-ERESTS
As part (If the Aggregate Resources Act submission, staff received a copy of the detailed site plan
in addition to the following reports:
. Summary Statement & Technical Reports - Rizmi Holdings Limited Pit No.1,
Prepared by Planning & Engineering Initiatives Limited, July 30, 1998;
B592 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/98 October 16, 1998

Prepared by Mayer Heritage Consultants Incorporated, January, 1998;
. Hydrogeologic Evaluation - Proposed Aggregate EXtraction Area,
Prepared by Terraprobe Limited, January 23, 1998.
As previously noted, the lands subject to this application are partially located within the McGill
Environmentally Significant Area (ESA 73), within the Oak Ridges Moraine and headwaters of the
Don River. This site is also designated an Area of Natural & Scientific Interest (ANSI) by the Ministry
of Natural Resources. A number of intermittent stream corridors traverse the property, and a portion
of the King-Vaughan Provincially Significant Wetland is located on the property.
The McGill ESA was originally adopted by the Authority in 1982, and subsequently updated as part
of the Authority's inventory of Environmentally Significant Areas at Meeting #12/95, held January
26, 1996. The significance of this natural area within the Authority's jurisdiction was confirmed
through field investigations; the property in question contains a large portion of the central part of
the McGill ESA, and contributes substantially to the significance of this natural area. The McGill ESA
is the largest contiguous woodland and wetland block located within the Don River watershed.
Within the Don Watershed this ESA provides the most substantial ecological contribution of any
single area.
Premised on our review of the Licence Application and supporting material filed by the applicant,
it is Authority staff's opinion that unacceptable impacts including the following would result:
. loss of habitat cover, which in the Don River Watershed is limited to 9.4% (woodland and
wetland) ;
. the removal of forest blocks where there is evidence of use by area sensitive and forest
interior species;
. Displacement of several regionally rare plant species;
. Reduction in the southern linkage between the ESA on the east side of Dufferin Street with
the ESA on the west side of Dufferin Street;
. Potential impacts to the significant hydrogeological function (recharge) since the proposal
does not appear to be in compliance with the Terraprobe Report as it relates to infiltration;
. Loss of a small piece of the Provincially Significant Wetland as identified by the Ministry of
Natural Resources (King-Vaughan Wetland Complex);
. Creation of a haul route to Bathurst Street which will create an opening and new edge within
the large forest block, resulting in fragmentation and impacts to interior species.
. Indirect impacts includEmoise-(wtrictrwill ctfh~l,;t"5ens1tive species that will be trying to use
the large forest block), light (which can lead to increased predation of vulnerable species
such as ground nesters) and dust (which can be an issue for nearby vegetation and some
sensitive species).
As noted earlier in the report, two additional pit applications are expected which are contiguous with
the current application. It is Authority staff's opinion that in addition to the impacts note~ above,
unacceptable impacts including the following would result;
October 16, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/98 8593
. Complete severance of the southern linkage of the ESA;
. Loss of additional regionally rare plant species;
. Loss of additional forest blocks (where there is evidence of use by area sensitive species);
. Additional loss of wetland area within the Provincially Significant Wetland ~ identified by the
Ministry of Natural Resources;
. Creation of a new edge on the main forest block thereby increasing the edge to interior ratio;
. The indirect impacts would be the same as noted above, but more intense, closer to the
main forest block, and of longer duration.
Based cln the impacts to the form, features and functions of the McGill ESA which would result as
part of this proposal, Authority staff are recommending the Executive Committee object to the
application made by Rizmi Holdings Limited pursuant to the Aggregate Resources Act.
CONCLUSION
Pursuant to the requirements of the Aggregate Resources Act, the last day on which objections may
be filed with the applicant and Ministry of Natural Resources is October 24, 1998. Authority staff has
concluded that the impacts which would result to the form, features and functions of the McGill
Environmentally Significant Area as part of this Licence Application are unacceptable, and not in
keeping with the overall program and policy interests of the Authority as identified in the Valley &
Stream Corridor Management Program (1994).
The Ontario Municipal Board has set a further Pre-Hearing Conference for December 7, 1998, at
which time Rizmi will know the outcome of its application for licence on the M4-lndustrial lands and
whether there are any objections to it. Rizmi will doubtless wish to consolidate any appeals under
the Aggregate Resources Act with the referrals on the remainder of the lands. Authority staff will
continuli! to work with the parties at the Hearing and will report on any progress andlor possible
settlemElnt opportunities as they arise. .

At Executive Committee Meeting #3/98, held May 8, 1998, the following was adopted:
"Res. #HS9198 TOWN OF PICKERING OFFICIAL PLAN

AND FUflTHER THAT staff report back to the Executive Committee on the status of discussions and
seek further direction prior to the second Prehearing Conference scheduled for September 14,
1998."
The Prehearing Conference scheduled for September 14, 1998 to deal with Appeals A 1 and A2 has
been pC1stponed to November 2, 1998. This Prehearing Conference will likely be converted to a
Settlement Hearing to conclude the issues associated with Appeals A1 and A2, The Rouge-Duffins
Wildlife Corridor.
The previous staff-report-pertaining101he'1q)peaJs of1he-r-own-of1'ickering Official Plan advised that
staff would be participating in the Mediation Session concerning the Rouge-Duffins Wildlife Corridor.
Staff has participated in 3 separate sessions with all participants and parties to this appeal in an effort
of coming to an agreement in the form of a settlement. Staff advise that an agreement has in fact
been re~lched in the form of a Minutes of Settlement.
8596 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/98 October 16. 1998
The two appellants to the Rouge-Duffins Wildlife Corridor (Corridor) appeals, A 1 and A2. were the
Province (the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing) and Ms. Jocelyn Barber. The nature of the
Province's appeal was the inadequate recognition of the breadth of the Corridor. The position of the
Province was that the Town of Pickering Official Plan policies should be revised to recognize an
expanded Corridor boundary to include the Ontario Hydro Corridor and expanded northward to the
northern boundary of the Canadian Pacific rail line/ Interprovincial Pipeline, from the Rouge River
to the Duffins Creek. Ms. Barber owns property on Finch.Avenue situated within the expanded
Wildlife Corridor as proposed by the Province. The nature of Ms. Barber's appeal questions the
need for the Open Space designation on her lands along with the expanded northern boundary of
the Corridor, and other open space lands to the north. Other property owners in the same vicinity
joined the appeals either as parties or participants to the Hearing.
It was agreed by all parties and participants that a Mediation session take place with an Ontario
Municipal Board member in order to mediate discussions and hopefully come to some agreement.
These sessions took place at the Town of Pickering which involved much discussion and
negotiation. As well, all attended site visits to the various properties owned by the parties and
participants. Where there was the possibility of defining the natural heritage features of those
properties, and all were in agreement with those limits, the limits were established. Authority staff
was involved in these discussions and the site visit.
As presented in the previous staff report, staff did not take a position with the location of the Corridor
as rec9Qnized in the Official Plan as the open space designations within the Official Plan adequately
provide for the protection of the natural heritage features, functions and natural hazards. However,
staff also supported the Province's proposal for the recognition of the Corridor as their position
would provide for a greater recognition of the natural heritage and hazard features.
The Agreement
Appeal A 1 is resolved based on the acceptance of the principle that the boundary of the Rouge-
Duffins Wildlife Corridor shall coincide with the Open Space System- Natural Areas designation as
identified on the proposed revised Schedule III to the Official Plan. Revised text in the Official Plan
will also be made to the same effect.
Appeal A2. is resolved through the establishment and agreement of the natural features on those
properties visited in the field. Those limits would then define the open space designation which
would coincide with the Corridor, of those properties. It is further understood that ecological buffer
and setback requirements would need to be determined through further study at the time of a
development application which follows normal procedure as identified in the Town of Pickering
Official Plan. For the properties where the natural heritage features were not staked in the field, or
where agreement could not be reached on their limits until further study was undertaken, agreement
was reached based on the general principle that the Rouge-Duffins Corridor will coincide with the
Open Space System.oNaturaJ-Area:s-designation-of1heTown-'Of'Pickerlng Official Plan.
RATIONALE
Authority staff recommend support and approval of the Minutes of Settlement. The proposed
settlement is in keeping with the approved Open Space System-Natural Areas designation of the
Official Plan. Authority staff recommend that the Minutes of Settlement form a reasonable .
agreement by all parties and participants to the A 1 and A2. Appeals. Through the signing of this
agreement by all parties/participants, the need for a Hearing is therefore resolved.
October 16. 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/98 8597
Authority staff has worked closely with the Town of Pickering, the Province and the property owners
in preparing the Minutes of Settlement. Staff are satisfied that the environmental objectives have
been appropriately dealt with. Therefore it is recommended that staff be authorized to sign the
Minutes of Settlement.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Staff will report further on the progress and/or resolution of the two additional outstanding Appeals
to the Town of Pickering Official Plan where the Authority has interests. Those being the Abe Appeal
which is a property located adjacent Frenchman's Bay Provincially designated Wetland, and the
Mitchell Appeal which is a property located adjacent the Major Spinks Environmentally Significant
Area. To date both those appeals have not been satisfactorily resolved.

B600 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/98 October 16, 1998
RATIONALE
The subject lands are identified in the Claireville Management Plan as being available for potential
lease/development arrangements which are compatible with the Plan. The lands have been
publicly advertised on two occasions.
STATUS
Since the last Board meeting, staff has held discussions-with representatives-of the Rice and
Correct groups and carried out preliminary due diligence review of the work of each of the groups.
Correct Building Corporation ( Centennial ) Ltd.:
A formal request to participate and enter into exclusive discussions with the Authority dated October
2,1998, together with a deposit cheque in the amount of $10,000, have been received.
The proposal which is of a conceptual nature only includes recreational and commercial
components. The proponent has requested that his group's financial and business plan submission
be kept strictly confidential at this stage, save and except for discussions with Authority
representatives.
Rice Commercial Group:
A formal proposal to lease and develop the subject Authority land for a 9 hole executive Golf Course
with practice facilities and related clubhouse together with deposit cheque in the amount of $10,000,
have been received.
On Tuesday, September 22, 1998, representatives of The Rice Group and Correct Building
Corporation ( Centennial ) Ltd made presentations to members of the Claireville Community
Advisory Committee. Authority staff has visited various projects undertaken by the 2 proponents.
EVALUATION
Experience
Both Groups demonstrate solid, credible experience with respect to their respective proposals. Staff
is confident that the Rice Group is capable of developing a successful executive length golf course
and ancillary services. Previously, they have done this successfully and would build and operate
the facility themselves.
The Correct Group has the capability of delivering successfully the commerciallsportslgolf facility
as proposed. They would use their development experience and financial resources to find the best
available expertise to build and manage each facet of the proposal.
October 1 ~l, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/98 8601
Claireville Management Plan
From past discussions with the Claireville Community Advisory Committee, it is clear that a golf
facility would be a use consistent with the intent of the Claireville Plan. Issues of access and
environmental impact can be managed. A hotel/sportplex as proposed by the Correct Group
certainly stretches the use contemplated in the Claireville Management Plan but, given the intensive
use of this area, e.g. Wild Water Kingdom, the proposal could be accommodated assuming the
aforementioned environmental and access issues are addressed.to the. satisfaction of the staff and
community representatives. Both proponents have been very clear about their willingness to work
with community in resolving all issues the community may have.
Timing ()f Development
The Rice Group golf proposal should be fully operational in year two. For example, if they were to
reach agreement with Authority by the end of 1998 or early 1999, it is likely the golf course could be
constructed in 1999 and fully operational for the spring of 2000.
The Correct Group proposal would take at least three years to achieve full revenue potential. The
hotel/spl:>rtplexwill require planning approvals and servicing. Transportation issues will need to be
resolved. The golf part of the proposal should be ready in 2000 and a driving range as an interim
use is a possibility.
Both groups have agreed to interim lease payments during 1999 and until full revenue are achieved.
The amount of the interim payment would be negotiated.
.
Financh:11 Return -
The Authority would not be required to contribute to the capital investment proposed by either
group.
The RiCE! Group has provided preliminary estimates of the investment they are prepared to make,
the reVE!nues anticipated and the potential return to the Authority. Staff has considered this
information and is satisfied that the estimates are realistic. The proposal would be a 15 to 20 year
lease arrangement. Revenue to the Authority would be in line with that which was discussed with
a previous proponent, World Pitch and Putt, and proportionately similar to the Authority's
arrangement with Wild Water Kingdom. Staff can discuss details with the Board at the meeting.
The Correct Group proposed a much higher level of investment and would produce a
proportionately higher level of revenue. Few details are available at this conceptual stage but given
the nature of the proposal, the return to the Authority, over 3 to 4 years, would grow to a level that
is roughly four times that of the Rice Group. The Correct Group would require a 40 year lease
arrangement.
Other PCltential Issues
The Rice Group has indicated that their main concern is water supply. They will investigate with Peel
Region the availability of water to this site. They believe they can achieve a satisfactory working
relationship with Wild Water Kingdom.
The Correct Group must resolve a number of planning and service related issues. Because the
proposal involves an indoor pool and water slides, it must reach agreement with Wild Water
Kingdom. The proponent is confident i~ can achieve this.
B602 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/98 October 16, 1998
SUMMARY
The Rice Group proposal is the more straight forward of the two. It can be achieved in a reasonable
time frame, and will produce a fair return to the Authority over the duration of the lease, about 20
years, at which time the use of the site can be reevaluated. Staff is confident that the Rice Group
could deliver on their proposal.
The Correct Group proposal is the more complex of the two. It has the potential to achieve a much
better return on the value of the lands and to achieve this over the long term. Because of the
complexity and the number of unresolved issues, the proponent has asked for 90 days to do the
necessary research and investigate with staff the feasibility of an agreement.
Staff is recommending that an exclusive agreement for 90 days be entered into with the Correct
Group to conduct the research needed and to determine if an agreement is feasible. The Correct
Group would be asked to pay a non-refundable deposit for the 90 day option which would give them
the exclusive right to negotiate with the Authority. On or before January 15, 1999, staff will report
to the Board on the status of these negotiations.
The Rice Group would be advised of this action and their $10,000 deposit refunded. If the Authority
and Correct are unsuccessful in reaching an agreement, the Rice Group could still be considered
assuming that they wished to enter into negotiations. There would still be time to construct a golf
cours~ during 1999 for operation in 2000.

Re: Momin~side Tributary and OMB Hearin~ Settlement Discussions
Dear Executive Committee Members & T &RC A Staff:
I understand that T &RCA staff hft\'c bccn involved in settlement discussions with the Morningside
Heights landowners and that a proposed "settlement agreement" may be presented to the Executive
Committee <?n Friday, ~ovember 13. 1998 for ratification.
The recommendations of the Morningside Tributary Subwalershed Study (MTSS) Phase 2 Report
and Addendum were adopted by the full Authority. These adopted recommendations represent
minimum standards which should not be weakened by settlement discussions or agreements.
I would like to suggest the following:
. The T&RCA Executive Committee should stand by its earlier decision to support the
recommendations of the yIomingside Tributary Subwatershed Study (MTSS) Phase 2 Report and
Addendum;
. Any ratification ofa settlement agreement should require a vote by the full Authority.
In many areas around the world. people are suffering serious consequences from extreme storms,
flooding and erosion. Toronto is not immune from such extreme storms events and damage (e.g.
Hurricane Hazel). To reduce flooding and erosion risks. the T ~RC A should discourage filling and
residential development within flood plain area.
Sincerely.

B607 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/98 November 13, 1998
The West Rouge Canoe Club has operated since Apri/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 25, 1998 has requested an extension of this
temporary agreement to October 31, 1999.
In June, 1998, the Mayor's Task Force on the Pickering Waterfront presented its final report
"Pickering Waterfront 2001" to Council. The final recommendations have been referred to staff for
the preparation of an action plan for Council's future consideration.
RATIONALE
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, 1997 and 1998 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, 1997 and 1998,
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 November, 1998.
.
The proposal also has the concurrence of the Director of Finance and Business Development.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Approval of the Town of Pickering to extend the temporary agreement for the period November 1,
1998 to October 31, 1999 will be required.
Concurrence of the Pickering Harbour Company, is being requested.
Staff, upon approval by the Authority, will prepare and execute the necessary documents for the
period November 1, 1998 to October 31, 1999.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The Club will continue as in 1995-98 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.

RES.#B158/98 - REQUEST FOR DISPOSAL OF AUTHORITY-OWNED LAND
Part of Lot 7, Concession 7 WYS (E/S Islington Avenue, North of Highway 7)
City of Vaughan - Humber River Watershed. The Authority is in receipt of a
request to consider disposing of an approximate 0.41 hectare (1 acre) parcel
of Authority-owned valley land situated in Part Lot 7, Concession 7 WYS (E/S
Islington Avenue, North of Highway 7) in the City of Vaughan, in the Humber
River Watershed.
Moved by: Ron Moeser
Secondud by: Jim McMaster
THE EXIECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Authority-owned holdings situated
in Lot 7, Concession 7 WYS, in the City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, be retained
for con!lervation purposes ............................................ CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Executive Committee Meeting #6/98, held August 14, 1998, Authority staff were requested to
investig,ate the potential for declaring surplus an approximate 0.41 hectare (1 acre) parcel of
Authority-owned valley land situated in Part Lot 7, Concession 7 WYS (E/S Islington Avenue, North
of Highway 7) in the City of Vaughan, in the Humber River Watershed. (Resolution #B128/98).
The Authority's technical staff has carried out an extensive review of this property. The parcel in
question is situated entirely within the valley corridor of the main Humber River, and is regulated
pursuant to the Authority's Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways Regulation (Ontario
Regulation 158). Approximately one quarter of the site represents valley side slope, with the balance
of the parcel being situated within the regional storm flood plain. The depth of flooding under
Regional Storm Conditions ranges between 2.28 to 3.68 metres. The back half of the property is
well-vegl:!tated with relatively mature growth. The lands were acquired by the Authority in 1956 under
the Flood Homes Assistance Program. The parcel is currently vacant.
The portion of land subject to flooding is within the Woodbridge Special Policy Area (SPA) as
adopted by the City of Vaughan through Official Plan Amendment 440. The principle of SPA
designation is to recognize existing flood prone communities and allow for
development/redevelopment in order to maintain the continued economic viability of an area.
Development allowed within a designated SPA introduces a greater level of risk to the land owner
and increases the potential for loss of life and property. The lands are zoned, R3-Residential in
accordance with the City of Vaughan Zoning By-law 1-88.
Publiclynowned lands were not intended to be included within the SPA designation, however the
rationalE! for this parcel's inclusion cannot be explained; no other publicly-owned lands were
included within theWoeclbridge,SPAr,GweR..the.-4and~s'5uSGeptibility to flooding, its location within
the Valll:!y corridor and the resource features situated on the property, Authority staff is
recommending that this parcel be retained for conservation purposes.

BACKGROUND
Resolution #A131/95, Authority Meeting #4/95, May 26,1995, approving the Greenspace Protection
and Acquisition Project.
Staff have had several discussions with the Campbells regarding the acquisition of the rear portion
of the subject property that backs onto the Palgrave Reservoir. They are not interested in selling
just a portion of the lot and therefore, it is proposed to acquire the entire lot with the intent the
tableland portion will be re-sold by the Authority, at such time as our requirements have been
satisfied. Approximately 50% ofthe property is tableland and meets the minimum requirements for
a building lot.
A plan illustrating the specific location is attached.
The Director of..-the -,-Watershed .Management..oivisioA-.has""f~viewed 1his -proposal and is in
concurrence with the purchase of the property.
RATIONALE
This property is located within the Authority's approved Master Plan for Acquisition. The subject
property has long been identified by Authority staff as a high priority potential acquisition site.
November 13, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/98 B618
The Palgrave Dam and Reservoir is the focus of the Palgrave Mill Pond Community Action Site. At
Meeting #9/98, the Authority adopted the following:
7HAT Pal grave Mill Pond Community Action Site Restoration Projec~ be endorsed in principle;
7HA T staff be authorized to seek funding and in-kind services to implement the project;
7HA T staff be authorized to prepare a Terms of Reference for detailed design;
AND FURTHER THAT the final design and project sponsors be brought back to the Authority
when available,
A concept restoration plan has been endorsed by the Palgrave Mill Pond Community Action Site
sub-committee and while the final design has not been completed, it has been recognized that
public ownership of the riparian shoreline is advantageous for achieving the objective of the
restoratil)n project. The subject property represents one of the few remaining private properties
bordering the reservoir and will contribute significantly towards the consolidation of the shoreline
into public ownership.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
This purchase will be charged to Account 004-11-502. When the subject valley lands are merged
with adjeicent Authority holdings, it is estimated that the property taxes would be approximately
$150.00 per year.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Prooosal:
To relocate a tributary of the Etobicoke Creek, construct a culvert crossing, undertake regrading
works in a fill regulated area of the Etobicoke Creek and construct a storm sewer outfall to facilitate
a new commercial building. The site is located on the eClSt side of the Etobicoke Creek south of
Highway 401 and west of Explorer Drive.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are not located in the floodplain of the Etobicoke Creek. The tributary
watercourse drains less than 125 hectares and does not have a regional floodline associated with
it. Stormwater management is addressed through a contribution to the City of Mississauga Water
Quality Study, Quantity control is not required in this area based on the approved 1995 Etobicoke
Creek Hydrology Study.
Pollution:
The proposed channel realignment can be constructed under dry conditions. The existing channel
conveys intermittent flows only, A comprehensive erosion and sediment control plan has been
prepared for the site, which includes siltation fencing and temporary sediment ponds during
construction,
Conservation of Land:
As part of the development proposal, the proponent undertook a study of the channel to determine
its fisheries habitat implications, The report concluded that no direct habitat is provided due to
insufficient base flow in the tributary. The realigned and restored tributary, which will include a
larger woody riparian vegetation component, will provide increased downstream habitat potential,
The works are considered to be mitigation pursuant to the Federal Fisheries Act, The proposed
building and parking areas located on the western part of the site will be set back ten metres from
the established top of bank,
Policv Guidelines:
The proposal is in compliance with the approved Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program
Section 4.1.1 - New Development and Section 3.3 - Watercourses and Alterations.

bank emsion which may threaten the trail in the future. The City has acknowledged this problem
and a1th()ugh there is no opportunity to move the trail with this contract, they understand that there
may be a need to move the trail in the future, In the interim, our staff have met on site to discuss
grading and planting strategies to help stabilize the stream bank. In addition, City staff have agreed
to review their maintenance procedures so that grass is not mown to the edge of the stream bank
to assist in keeping the banks more stable.

limestonE~ screened permanent access road, three metres in width to Sanitary Sewer Maintenance
Hole No. 58. The site is located within the Fill Regulated Area and the Regional Storm flood plain
of MimiclD Creek.
B649 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/98 November 13, 1998
The new structure will have minimal impacts on the flooding. The proposed access road will result
in minimal changes in grade. As such, the control of flooding will not be affected.
Pollution:
All excavated material will be removed from the site. Heavy equipment will sit on a temporary
gab ion stone pad located above the waterline. All work within the watercourse will occur under low
flow conditions.
Conservation of Land:
The proposed works will result in two amour stone structures being constructed downstream of the
exposed sanitary sewer. These structures will have the effect of slightly raising the water level and
grade in this location allowing for sedimentation to cover and protect the exposed sanitary sewer.
The two proposed armourstone structures will be constructed of irregularly shaped stones, notched
in the centre to direct water flow, Behind the first and second rows a staggered row of armourstone
will be imbedded in the channel to provide stability. The area between the two armourstone
structures will be covered with a mixture of shot rock, rip rap and field stone, The overall effect is
to provide irregular shaped stones which allow for variations in flow and velocity to facilitate fish
passage and refuge locations, The applicant has acknowledged that the permit under Ontario
Regulation 158 cannot be released until authorization from DFO has been received, Riparian
plantings will be provided on either side of the watercourse in the construction area.

. Lot Drainage and Siting Plan prepared by Aglncourt Design Service, Project 98-
3709, Revision 3 dated and received November 6, 1998.
RA TIO~IALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposc~:
The proposal consists of replacing and increasing the length of an existing entrance driveway culvert
on the property. The proposed works are related to the residential development of this currently
vacant :site. The existing culvert will be replaced with a larger 24" diameter culvert and will be
lengthened by 5' to enable adequate construction vehicle access to the new house site. The subject
lands are not presently fill regulated; however, fill lines are proposed to encompass the stream
corridor, as part of the Authority's ongoing Fill Regulation Extension Program.
Control of Flooding:
The upstream drainage area is less than 125 hectares; therefore, the property is not located within
a Regional Storm flood plain. Due the history of periodic flooding from more frequent rainstorms in
this area, the previous City of Scarborough had diverted major system flows away from this tributary
of Centl~nnial Creek, The new culvert will match the diameter of existing driveway culverts on
neighbouring properties. The proposed works will not impact the control of flooding through this
reach of the watercourse,
Pollutiorl:
The new culvert will be installed under dry conditions within the watercourse; however, staff has
requeste!d that the proposal include a provision to install a coffer dam on the upstream side of the
driveway and that flows be pumped around the site should wet conditions occur during
construc:tion. Sedimentation is not expected as part of the house construction, since the building
site is 3S metres from the watercourse,
Conservation of Land:
This tributary of the Centennial Creek forms a stream corridor (i.e. no valley slope feature through
this reach) along the front yards of an existing community. This proposal will not impact the integrity
of the riparian and stream habitat, as the new dwelling will occur beyond the 30 metre riparian
setback zone established under the Centennial Creek Subwatershed Study and the culvert
installation work will be completed in less than a day. Restoration of the stream corridor will
eventually take place, as recommended by the Centennial Creek Subwatershed Study; city staff are
supportive of the watercourse crossing. This reach of Centennial Creek does not provide insitu fish
habitat.
Policy Guidelines: -
The proposal complies with Section 3.3 - Policies and Procedures For Identifying Watercourses And
Alterations - and - 4.2.2(G) - Infilling - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
Because of ongoing concerns about an eroding stream bank from the neighbours, the City is
proposing to undertake stream bank restoration and fisheries enhancements at two locations: one
at the rear of 9 Burnview and the second in the adjacent City park. At the first location they are
proposing to install 25m of timber crib wall along an outside bend of stream, create a pool and place
200 mm - 400 mm round stone along the base of the wall and stream bottom.
The second location is immediately downstream of a weir and foot bridge. The channel had been
previously protected with gabion mat; however, this matting has been outflanked and is failing. The
mat is to be pulled back and the eroding bank will be graded to a more stable angle. Thirty meters
of brush mattress (mix willow/dogwood) will be installed, a pool excavated and 200 - 400 mm round
stone placed along stream edge and bottom,
Control of Flooding:
The works will not affect conveyance of flows through this reach.
Pollution:
All works will be undertaken in the dry by damming and pumping around the work site.
Conservation of Land:
The proposed works will stabilize the stream banks and enhance the fish habitat through this reach,
The design is in compliance with natural channel design principles. Both sites have little woody
riparian vegetation and can be accessed easily by equipment along existing park trails. The
proposal includes the use of woody materials to stabilize the banks.
November 13, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/98 B652
Authority staff are discussing this proposal with staff from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans,
It is our opinion that these works present a net gain to fish habitat.
Policv Giuidelines:
The woriks are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management program
as it relcltes to Section 5.4 (B) Environmental Management Projects.

RATIONIALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
In compliance with-the Master Environmental Servicing Plan for OPA 138, the applicant is proposing
to construct two stormwater management ponds as part of the first phase of the plan of subdivision.
The first pond is located on the tableland, just north of Gamble Road and outlets down the valley
slope to a tributary of the Rouge River. This tributary is generally dry as the soils are very sandy.
The pond is designed to provide water quality treatment, erosion protection downstream and control
the quantity of water for up to the 100 year storm, The outlet of the pond is to incorporate erosion
protecticln in the form of a plunge pool, and a flow spreader to spread the flow into the valley.
The secclnd pond is located at the upper end of a small ravine feature which drains down through
a well vegetated valley corridor to a second tributary of the Rouge River. There is no well defined
watercourse channel within the valley corridor feature; however the watercourse that the pond
eventually drains to is well defined and intermittent. This pond is designed to provide water quality
treatment, erosion protection downstream and control the quantity of water for up to the 100 year
storm, The outfall channel is protected with riprap on the slope and will be covered with topsoil and
seeded.
There is ;a second outfall that draiflS'a 2.8m-area ~CISt-of the~cond pond 'hat drains to the same
ravine feature. A plunge pool is proposed for erosion protection, An upstream oil grit separator will
provide water quality treatment for this small drainage area
Control of Flooding:
The wor~,s are not located in the flood plain and will not impact the limits of the Regional Storm flood
plain.
B657 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/98 November 13. 1998
Pollution:
Sediment fencing is proposed to isolate the sites of the ponds from the valley corridor. For the
second pond, a rock check dam will also be installed at the outlet. Both of these ponds will be used
to control sediments during regrading and construction of the subdivision.
Conservation of Land:
There are no significant natural resource features located at the first pond. The pond is on the
tableland and there are no issues of slope stability. The outlet channel is proposed on a portion of
the slope where there had previously been a farm lane. As much of the existing vegetation as
possible will be protected on the slope and the disturbed area will be stabilized with seed, sod or
mulch mat and restored with woody vegetation,
At the site of the second pond there are several trees and woody understorey to be removed within
a mature hedgerow. Through the Master Environmental Servicing Plan it was determined that
clearing of this area was acceptable, The most significant area is further into the ravine feature
where the trees are to be protected. The outlet for this pond and for the outfall to the west drain to
the same location, The works will be undertaken and the area restored simultaneously, The
disturbed area will be stabilized with seed, sod or mulch mat and restored with woody vegetation.
Both pond sites will be renaturalised with native trees and shrubs,
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,

RATIOr~ALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposl~:
In compliance with the recommendations of the Master Environmental Servicing Plan for OPA 129,
the applicant is proposing to realign a watercourse using natural channel design principles and
recreatEI a wetland feature, The existing watercourse runs in a ditch adjacent to North Lake Road
and frequently floods the roarJw~. Relocation of the watercourse will allow for the future up-grading
of the mad.
The existing wetland is in a degraded state and the proposed works will allow this area to be
enhancled.
Control of Flooding:
The entire site, including the residential portion of the development, is in the flood plain and Special
Policy Area for Lake Wilcox. The restoration works require the removal of material and lowering of
the graole. This will not negatively affect flooding characteristics in the reach. A recommendation
for approval of the residential structures will be the subject of a separate permit application,
Poll uti 011:
A small amount of drainage currently enters the wetland area, Sediment will be prevented from
moving downstream through the use of a rock check dam. The water will not be redirected from
the watmcourse until the new channel has stabilized,
Conservation of Land:
There are two features on the site that are to be protected. At the upstream end of the existing
wetland there are some significant wetland plant species. This area will not be disturbed. The
watercourse will be brought in downstream of this area. At the downstream end there is a woodlot
that will be protected through the use of fencing. A channel will be created through this part, but
the riparian area will not be altered.
Prior to regrading, the seed bank will be striped from the site and will be used to seed the new
wetland, Woody vegetation will be planted within the disturbed areas in the woodlot.
The existing watercourse provides warm water fish habitat. Staff are reviewing the fisheries
information to determine the requirements under the Federal Fisheries Act.
Policy Guidelines:
The worl<s are in compliance with the requirements of the Master Environmental Servicing Plan for
OPA 12~1 and are consistent with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program
as it relates to Section-5.4""Gorridor:Rehabilitation Projects.

RES.#B165/98 - REQUEST FOR LEASE AND RESTORATION OF RESIDENCE ON
FORMER BARKER PROPERTY IN THE WOODBRIDGE AREA
CFN 22099. Receipt of a proposal from the Watershed Group Inc. to lease
and rehabilitate the residence on the former Barker Property in the City of
Vaughan, which is currently in a dilapidated condition for residential
purposes.
Moved by: Jim McMClSter
Seconded by: Donna Patterson
THAT the Authority accept ,the proposal from the Watershed Group Inc. to rehabilitate and
lease the former Barker Farmhouse in the Woodbridge area in the City of Vaughan in the
Regional Municipality of York, for a period of one year renewable on a year-to-year basis
subject to mutual agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions as set out in the
staff report dated November 4, 1998;
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
At Executive Committee Meeting #2/98, under Res. #B28/98 staff was directed to carry on
discussions concerning the potential rehabilitation and lease of the residence on the former Barker
Property with the Yeoman Rugby Club, now known as the Watershed Group Inc" and provide a
further report to the Members of the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further
action.
The Barker Farmhouse was acquired by the Authority in 1964 to facilitate the construction of the
Boyd Dam and Reservoir Project.
The Barker family retained the use of the residence and farm operation for a number of years after
the date of acquisition under the provisions of the settlement. Upon receiving vacant possession
of the property from the original owners in November 1979, a portion of this residence was rented
to Authority staff until December 20, 1996, While a portion of the house was in poor condition at the
time of obtaining possession from the former owner, it was deemed desirable for Authority purposes
to seal off a portion of the dwelling and rent the usable portion on an interim basis,
In December, 1996 when the tenant vacated, a thorough review of the dwelling was carried out and
it was determined that it would cost a substantial amount of money to bring the entire house up to
today's standards. Demolition of the site is an option, but staff decided to continue to explore other
avenues to maintain the dwelling.
The availability of the property was publicly advertised to solicit tenants who would be prepared to
renovate the home at their cost in lieu of paying rent until such time as all of the repairs as required
by the Authority would be completed,
November 13, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/98 B664
In 1995 the Authority entered into a long term arrangement with the Yeoman Rugby Football Club,
of which David Berto is the president of, for a clubhouse. Under the existing arrangement, the
former Peachey residence in the Claireville area of the City of Brampton, which was in extremely
poor cOl1dition has been restored at no cost to the Authority.
On October 15, 1995, the Authority entered into a somewhat similar arrangement with Catherine
Tredway and Barn Owl for the restoration and maintenance of a historic dwelling located at 17 Mill
Street, in Markham. This dwelling has also been restored with no cost to the Authority.
Extensiv,e discussions have been carried out during the past several weeks with representatives of
Watershed Group Inc. and a proposal is at hand which includes the following:
Proposal
(1 ) The Watershed Group Inc, will carry out repair and rehabilitation work which will include at
113ast the following components having a total estimated value in excess of $54,000.00
(a) To repair all structural areas associated with the roof;
(b) Repair andlor replace windows and or frames in order to create an air tight
environment;

In our discussion of the site remediation plan with MOE, concern was expressed that no agency had
assumed responsibility for the low-level radioactive waste. AECL, by letter dated December 6, 1996,
have assumed responsibility to monitor and maintain an interim storage facility constructed at the
Arsenal Lands on a cost-recovery basis.
The approved Site Remediation Plan and Work Plan included the cleanup of the low-level radioactive
soil by excavation and placement in a specially designed on-site temporary underground
containment facility .,..;rhe..management-eAd-supervision of-tnis -oieanup would -be undertaken by staff
at the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO) of Atomic Energy of Canada
Limited.
November 13, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/98 B668
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The management and supervision of radium contaminated soil can only be undertaken by personnel
experienced in the safe handling, testing and identification of this hazardous soil. The staff of the
LLRWMO have provided a detailed cost estimate to manage this phase of the site remediation. They

BACKGIROUND
The development of the Humber River Watershed Fisheries Management Plan was guided by a
steering committee composed of staff from the Authority, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources,
non-government organizations, members of the Humber Task Force and the public.
The plan provides an assessment of the present condition and potential of fish communities and
habitat and through analysis, identifies an aquatic habitat classification system for the watershed,
The clasHification system allows watercourses to be grouped into categories of similar characteristics
for whic:h there are similar habitat requirements, fish community targets and management
implicaUons.
One of t~le challenges to achieving the management objectives of the fisheries management plan
is the pmsence of-mere1han'1QOo1nstream'-barriers'in1hewatershed, '-Qf1hese, eleven have been
identified as having critical importance for mitigation because they prevent migratory species from
accessing headwater areas where conditions are suitable for successful spawning, The barrier at
Eglinton Avenue prevents all fish from moving any further upstream and is therefore, the major
barrier to allowing migratory fish species access upstream.
8671 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/98 November 13, 1998
The mitigation of the effects of the Eglinton Avenue weir is a partnership between the Authority, the
Ministry of Natural Resources, Action to Restore a Clean Humber and the City of Toronto's

SUMMJ~RY OF ONTARIO MUNICIPAL BOARD HEARING ISSUES
The Morningside Heights planning area is a parcel of land withing the City of Toronto located south
of SteelE!S Avenue, north of Finch Avenue and west of the main Rouge Valley. It lies almost entirely
within the Morningside Tributary Subwatershed, centred along the mid-reach of the tributary itself.
(Refer to Attachment 1). There is a lengthy history of studies, approvals and other initiatives
affecting both the Morningside Tributary and the Morningside Heights planning area lands, such as
the City's Morningside Tributary Subwatershed Study, the Rouge Park, the Environmental
Assessment approval for stormwater management in the Morningside Tributary Watershed of the
Tapscott Industrial District and various other land use studies and planning documents,
The Authority has received four previous staff reports on matters related to the Morningside Heights
Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) Hearing. The subject matter before the OMB where the Authority
has a direct interest is with regard to the environmental issues associated with the Morningside
Creek and its tributary corridors, the Rouge Valley and the Rouge Park, and transportation issues
which a1fect the natural heritage features and functions,
The Authority, the City of Toronto, and others, have Party status at the OMB Hearing to ensure that
the natural heritage features and their functions are protected, and that the goals and objectives of
the Morningside Tributary Subwatershed Study and Rouge Park Management Plan are respected,
The OMI3 Hearing commenced on October 28, 1998 and was adjourned on November 9, 1998 until
November 16,1998, which allowed The City of Toronto and The Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority to consider the settlement proposal associated with the environmental issues,
SETTLEMENT PROPOSAL
The settlement proposal is attached. Key features of the settlement proposal for Authority
consideration as they relate to the Authority Resolutions are as follows:
. The proposed Secondary Plan had identified a corridor width for the Morningside Tributary
of 100 metres north of the diversion structure and 80 metres south to the CPR. The
Settlement proposal achieves a minimum corridor width of 100 metres for the entire length
of the Morningside Tributary in public ownership, From the information TRCA staff has
r,eceived to date from the developer's consultants and the work done through the
Morningside;;T-ributary -StJbwatershed Study';",south-of the existing-diversion structure, this
minimum 100 metre corridor would include a tableland ecological buffer of 10 metres. If the
10 metre ecological buffer cannot be achieved on tableland north of the diversion structure,
then through further detailed design of the Morningside Corridor, the settlement allows for
an additional 5 metre buffer above the stable top of bank to remain in private ownership and
to be recognized as a uno build zone".
.
8677 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/98 November 13, 1998
. There are two significant woodlots associated with the Morningside Tributary in the north
reaches. The settlement allows for the protection of these woodlots and the limits to be
established as the dripline of the vegetation plus an additional 1 metre, all in public
ownership. Further the Secondary Plan will identify that an Environmental Impact Statement
be undertaken to ensure the viable health of these woodlots and as a condition of draft plan
approval an Edge Management Plan will be undertaken to ensure that proposed
development adjacent to the woodlots will not negatively impact the edge. In addition, the
Secondary Plan identifies that where required, the woodlots will be restored and enhanced.
. With regard to the Rouge Valley, the Secondary Plan identifies that a 10 metre ecological
buffer, consistent with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, is
recognized above the stable top of bank to allow for the prevention of erosion, the
maintenance and enhancement of significant vegetation and to provide public access.
. Authority staff has continued to support the Rouge Park Management Plan throughout
discussions with the PartieslParticipants to this Hearing and have encouraged the
securement of the Rouge Park Boundary. In Schedule A of the Settlement, you will note that
the Secondary Plan will reflect the Rouge Park Management Plan policies, goals and
objectives, and will specifically provide for a 30 metre setback from the stable top of bank
of the Rouge River to remain undeveloped. That portion of the land adjacent to the Rouge
Valley which is owned by the Morningside Heights Landowners Group will be conveyed to
public ownership. Thus, a precedent may be established for public ownership of the
remaining lands adjacent to the Rouge Valley.
. The additional items identified in the Settlement are specific to other natural features which
exist within the Morningside Heights planning area and items regarding site servicing
requirements specific to stormwater management.
1, Through the Morningside Tributary Subwatershed Study (MTSS), the Neilson and
Pitchfork tributaries were identified as natural features within the study area worthy
of study and protection, Both tributaries were identified as features that could be
altered, but that the feature andlor function had to be protected.
The entire length of the Neilson tributary will be protected within a minimum 30 metre
corridor to the existing Neilson Road, and expanded west of Neilson Road to include
the natural vegetation. Through the review of preliminary studies, TRCA staff are
confident that the 30 metre channel is of sufficient width to convey flows and provide
for a natural meander belt. The entire corridor will be in public ownership.
The Pitchfork tributary is, for the most part, groundwater fed. The MTSS identified
that. tne..functio"" of, maintaining~the 'grounawaterrflow'was Tequired but that the
tributary could be altered, Therefore, TRCA staff are satisfied with a minimum 20
metre corridor for that portion of the Pitchfork tributary to be protected and are
confident that the groundwater function can be maintained through site servicing
requirements. The corridor to be protected will be in public ownership.
November 13,1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/98 B678
" The Pitchfork Woodlot is a tableland woodlot. From pClSt experience, we know it is
._,
difficult for TRCA staff to comment or make recommendations on tableland
vegetation unless it is determined to be significant and directly related to a valley or
stream corridor, Environmentally Significant Area, etc. From preliminary studies and
discussions with the City of Toronto staff and consultants and the developer's
consultants, staff identify that due to existing and proposed development outside the
Morningside Heights planning area and the existing Canadian Pacific Rail line,
drainage and groundwater will not and cannot be maintained to the woodlot.
Further, the amount of proposed intensive development adjacent and off-site to the
feature may not allow for its continued existence. As well, the MTSS did not identify
the Pitchfork Woodlot as a Level 1 protection area. Therefore, staff is satisfied there
is no need to object to the removal of this woodlot.
:3. With regard to site servicing, specifically location of stormwater management
facilities, TRCA staff are of the opinion that there is not enough technical supporting
information to determine their location. Therefore, provided that their siting and
design are in accordance with the TRCA V&SCMP, staff are satisfied. More detailed
information will be provided later in the planning process.
4. With regard to the horizontal or vertical movement of the Morningside Tributary,
TRCA staff do not have enough technical supporting information to justify the
movement of the streambed. Therefore, the terms of Settlement do not preclude the
movement of the streambed, but do ensure that Authority V&SCMP criteria must be
satisfied, The Settlement also does not predetermine the position or decision of the
Authority, the Ministry of Natural Resources or the Department of Fisheries and
Oceans,
,. Schedule A to the Settlement also requires certain modifications to the Secondary
.),
Plan to reflect the Minutes of Settlement and the requirement for other TRCA staff
modifications.
RATIO"IALE
Both TFtCA staff and retained experts and staff for the City of Toronto, including legal counsel
acknowledge that the Minutes of Settlement do not achieve everything as proposed by the
Mornin~lside Tributary Subwatershed Study; however, the overall objectives of protection,
enhancE~ment and restoration are being achieved as per the MTSS. Presently, the approved
diversion structure, if fully implemented, virtually eliminates the entire Morningside Tributary Corridor
south to the CPR; as well, all the natural features of the site are currently in private ownership. The
Settlement ensures the protection and enhancement of a minimum 100 metre Morningside Corridor,
includin~1 tableland buffering and tableland woodlots, and protection and enhancement of adequate
corridors, for the Neilson &Ad Pitchfork-tributaries, all of which'are to-be dedicated gratuitously to a
public agency, It is staff opinion that the overall goals and objectives of the Valley and Stream
Corridor Management Program and the Morningside Tributary Subwatershed Study are being
achievecl and that there is an overall net gain to The Authority and The City of Toronto in obtaining
these natural heritage features and their functions in public ownership, thus ensuring that their future
health and viability are protected.
8679 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/98 November 13, 1998
Therefore, it is staff opinion that the intent of the main motion of the Authority Resolution to
recognize and implement the recommendations of the Morningside Tributary Subwatershed Study
Phase 2 Report and Addendum has been achieved.
Authority staff recommend support and approval of the Minutes of Settlement. The Settlement is
in keeping with the Authority direction, and the Authority resolutions have been substantively
addressed as noted above.
CONCLUSION
Authority staff has worked closely and in concert with the City of Toronto in the review of the
Settlement proposal. Given that the environmental objectives of both Parties are mutual, it is
expected that a satisfactory resolution of these outstanding issues may eliminate the need for the
TRCA or the City to be represented at the Hearing with regard to environmental issues,
Because the Hearing is in process and is scheduled to reconvene on November 16, 1998, related
to environmental issues, this poses a constraint in terms of reporting to the Authority with respect
to a final settlement proposal, As such staff are seeking authorization to settle the environmental
issues.

BACKGROUND
Resolution #A131/95, Authority Meeting #4/95, May 26,1995 approving the Greenspace Protection
and Acquisition Project.
Decembl3r 11. 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/98 B6B4
Negotiutions have been conducted with the owners.
The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed the proposal and is in
concurl'ence with the purchase of the property.
Mr. and! Mrs. Campbell pu,rchased the subject property in 1969.
Attacheid is a plan showing the location of the subject lands.
RATIOI"ALE
Geners~ly, the Authority's approach is to carry out erosion control works along the Scarborough
Bluffs s.!ctor of the Lake Ontario Shoreline by providing for protection at the bottom of the bluffs and
a1lowin!~ the over steepened bluff face to recede and self stabilize. This approach has long been
recogni,zed as the most practical and cost effective solution for providing erosion control protection
in this clTea. 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 stemle slope and that acquisition of certain properties may have to be considered,
While no project was undertaken at this location specifically to provide erosion protection for the
houses on Sunnypoint Crescent, the construction of Bluffer's Park in the 1970's has provided
protection to the toe of the bluffs from wave action of Lake Ontario.
The blUlf slope at the rear of the property is actively eroding. Measurements taken indicate that the
closest distance to the house from the bluff is approximately 36 ft. (11 metres). Erosion continues
at an annual rate of approximately 2 ft, (0.6 metres) per year. The bluffs at this location are over 100
metres high which pretty well negates any slope stabilization option. The owners have the right to
obtain possession up until March 15, 2004. In the event the property becomes unsafe in the opinion
of the Authority prior to that date, the owners will be required to vacate the premises on 30 days
notice.
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
During the extended possession period, Robert and Audrey Campbell will be responsible for all
costs. This parcel of land will be turned over to the City of Toronto under the terms of the existing
managE!ment agreement upon obtaining vacant possession.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Fundinu for this acquisition will be charged to Account 004-12-502. The purchase price is in
accordsLnce with the appraised value as determined by an independent appraiser.

RES.#B181/98 - TREE REMOVAL - BAKER SUGAR BUSH ESA #128
City of Vaughan. Removal of a number of trees from the Baker Sugar Bush
Environmentally Significant Area (ESA # 128), Don River Watershed, City of
Vaughan.
Moved by: Lorna Bissell
Seconded by: Michael Di Biase
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the staff report regarding tree removal
from the Baker Sugar Bush Environmentally Significant Area (ESA #128) be received;
THAT the Region of York and City of Vaughan be encouraged to take whatever action is
necessary to ensure that no further trees are removed within the Baker Sugar Bush or any
other woodlot within the Block 10 lands without the appropriate approvals;
AND FURTHER THAT the City of Vaughan, Region of York, Minister of Municipal Affairs &
Housing, the local MPP and the Ontario Municipal Board be advised that the Toronto & Region
Conservation Authority takes great exception to the actions of Metrus Development
Incorporated in this regard ............................................ CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Watershed Management Advisory Board Meeting #5/98, held November 20, 1998, Authority staff
had verbally reported on the removal of a number of trees from the Baker Sugar Bush
Environmentally Significant Area (ESA #128). Staff were requested to further investigate this matter
and report back to a future meeting of the Authority.
The Baker Sugar Bush is situated at the north west corner of Highway 7 and Bathurst Street, in the
Don River Watershed, City of Vaughan (Attachment 1). The lands surrounding the Sugar Bush are
part of the Langstaff Woods Community, which is undergoing a Block Plan exercise in accordance
with the City of Vaughan's OPA 400 requirements. A number of development applications within
the Langstaff Woods Community are the subject of an upcoming Ontario Municipal Board hearing
which, among other things, will consider the protection of this woodlot.
On November 19, 1998, the Region of York Environmental Services Department received a
complaint that trees were being removed along the northern edge of the Baker Sugar Bush ESA.
The Region administers a Tree By-law which regulates the destruction of trees in woodlots larger
than half an acre, and places special restrictions on the destruction of trees in sensitive natural areas
(wetlands, environmentally significant areas, lands adjacent to streams and lakes). Regional staff
were unable to immediately investigate, and requested staff from the City of Vaughan undertake a
site visit.
Vaughan staff visited the site the following day, and reported approximately 25-30 individual trees,
averaging in size from 10 to 18 inches in diameter, had been removed along the northern edge of
the woodlot. The remaining stumps were left flush with the existing grade and had been painted
with a black tree wound dressing. Atthough there were obvious signs of tree removal, the individual
sites were clean with very little sign of saw dust and damage to surrounding vegetation.
DecembElr 11, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/98 B696
The lands affected by the tree removal are owned by Metrus Development Incorporated. City staff
contacted the owners who confirmed that trees had been removed in an effort to locate a survey
line; an exemption to the Region of York Tree By-law had not been obtained.
As a follow-up, the City inspected a number of other woodlots contained within the Langstaff Woods
Community to see whether tree removal had taken place elsewhere. Vaughan staff confirmed that
similar edge tree removal had taken place in other woodlots under the ownership of Metrus
Development Incorporated, but that the balance of woodlots within the Block Plan remained
undisturbed.
The City of Vaughan does not have a tree protection by-law, and the powers of the Authority
pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 (the Authority's Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways
Regulation) do not extend to vegetation removal. As such, the only available recourse is pursuant
to the Region of York Tree By-law.
On Novl3mber 24, 1998, the Regional Forestry Coordinator of the Region of York visited the site to
collect e'vidence and determine whether charges could be laid under the Region's Tree By-law. The
Regionlal Tree By-law permits the removal of trees only after the required tree inventory and
assessment documents are submitted and approved by the City, and a signed agreement such as
a site plan or subdivision agreement is in place. The City of Vaughan has not approved the removal
of any trees within the Langstaff Woods Community, and there are no signed agreements in place
betwe~n the City and Metrus Development Incorporated.
Authority staff are still pursuing the issue of charges being laid under the Regional Tree By-law
through the City of Vaughan and Region of York. While we are unable to confirm at this point that
charges have been laid, it is staff's understanding that the Region of York intends to do so in the
near futlJre,
Staff will provide a further verbal update to the Executive Committee regarding this matter as more
information becomes available.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
To reconstruct an existing 1200 mm diameter CSP storm sewer outfall to a tributary of the Wilket.
Creek. The works involve cutting the existing rusted pipe and replacing and extending the outfall
with a new 1200 mm pipe.
Control of Flooding:
The culvert diameter will remain the same. The control of flooding will not be affected.
Pollution:
The works can be undertaken under dry (no flow) conditions. As a precautionary measure, a rock
check dam will be erected downstream of the work area.
Conservation of Land:
The watercourse located immediately downstream of the outfall is intermittent, and as such is not
considered to provide fish habitat. As the sewer extension can take place in no flow periods, the
works are considered to be mitigation pursuant to the federal Fisheries Act. The disturbed area
required for const~uction access will be replanted with native woody species.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposed works are in compliance with the approved Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program Section 4.3 -Infrastructure and Servicing. Due to the possible failure of the embankment
adjacent to Leslie Street, staff has agreed to allow the works to proceed as emergency work.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
In order to service a new residential plan of subdivision, the applicant is proposing to construct a
road crossing over Centennial Creek which will incorporate the storm and sanitary services. The
watercourse will flow through a box culvert and will be lowered for 30 meters upstream and 80
meters downstream. The existing watercourse has been altered in the past and the base flow up
to the 5 year storm has been diverted away.
The existing valley corridor is well vegetated with trees. Through the planning process, the City has
allowed the corridor to be filled up to the limit of the Regulatory flood plain. The lands are not fill
regulated and a permit is not required for the filling part of the proposal.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed box culvert will convey Regulatory storm flows without increasing the limits of the
flood plain upstream and downstream.
Pollution:
The watercourse is frequently dry. The culvert construction and watercourse alteration will be
undertaken to the extent possible under dry conditions. If there is flow in the creek, it will be
dammed and pumped around the work site.
Conservation of Land:
Because most of the base flow has been directed away from the watercourse, there is no in-situ fish
habitat. However, the City, as Part of the implementation plan for the Centennial Creek
Subwatershed Study has begun the development of Ecoparks upstream and downstream of this
site. Because of this, the culvert has been designed giving regard for the passage of small animals.
Staff are also requiring the restoration of the valley corridor through tree planting. The new channel
will be restored using natural channel design principles.
There is no requirement for authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for this work.
Policy Guidelines:
The works will be in compliance with the Authorities Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program as it relates to Section 4.3 -Infrastructure and Servicing.

RATIO~IALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposc~:
There are three proposed works associated with his permit application: the first is to construct a road
and bridge over a watercourse and railway track; the second is to construct a storm outfall for the
road; and, the third is to regrade and place fill for a residential subdivision.
I n order to access a new residential site, the applicant is proposing to place fill to construct a
roadway and bridge over a railway track. A tributary of the Don River originates just up stream of this
site and 'nows along and under the railway tracks until it enters a steep sided and well defined valley
system.
The roaclway is to be constructed through a woodlot and runs immediately adjacent to, and above
the top elf bank of a ravine feature. An outfall will be constructed to drain a portion of the new road
to the ravine.
8717 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/98 December 11, 1998
The residential site is to be filled and regraded to allow for servicing. The development area is
adjacent to the well defined valley noted above. The slopes of this valley have been disturbed in the
past through filling and have been found to be unstable. The lot limits have been set a minimum
of 6 meters back from the physical top of bank, at the stable top of bank line and no disturbance is
allowed in this area
A storm outfall and valley slope stabilization is required for the subdivision development. This part
of the proposal will form a second phase of the construction and will be subject to a separate permit
application.
Control of Flooding:
The works are not in the flood plain and will not affect the passage of flood flows.
Pollution:
Sediment fencing will be established adjacent to the road right of way including the outfall for the
road, and at the limit of the stable top of bank, to prevent any loss of sediment from the site. Rock
check dams will be used under the bridge to prevent sediment from traveling down to the
watercourse.
Conservation of Land:
The embankments for the road were designed at a 2: 1 slope to minimize disturbance to the woodlot.
Sediment/tree protection fencing will be installed to protect the remaining trees. A restorationledge
management plan will be required for the new woodlot edge.
Erosion protection and dissipation will be in place to prevent erosion downstream of the storm outfall
for the road.
In order to meet servicing requirements, from 1.5 to 5 meters of fill is required for grading of the
subdivision. As a result, the proponent is proposing to engineer slopes on the lots to facilitate the
grade change from the new elevation to the existing elevation adjacent to the valley slope. Our staff
are currently reviewing this proposal to ensure that the filling will not exacerbate the unstable nature
of the valley slope.
Policy Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's valley and Stream Corridor Management Program
as it relates to Section 4.1.1 - New Urban Development and Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and
Servicing.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
8723 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/98 December 11, 1998
Proposal:
In a storm event in July of this year, high flows knocked out a culvert crossing and sanitary sewer
crossing over Amberlea Creek at Frenchman's Bay. The Town is proposing to replace the crossing
with a pedestrian bridge, and attach a new sewer line on the underside of this bridge. Currently, a
temporary sewer is suspended on scaffolding over the water, and it is not desirable to leave it is this
condition over the winter.
The bridge foundations will be constructed outside of the watercourse channel and will be protected
with rip-rap stone. A low flow channel is to be re-instated and lined with river run stone.
Control of Flooding:
A hydraulic analysis has been undertaken which indicates a drop in flood levels from the previous
condition with the culverts in place. This is satisfactory to staff.
Pollution:
The construction of the bridge foundations will be outside of the water and the watercourse. No
machinery will enter the watercourse to complete this part of the work. The channel will be
excavated and stone placed "in the dry" by damming and pumping flows around the work site.
Conservation of Land:
The proposal will ultimately improve the fish habitat in this area by allowing fish passage and by re-
instating the channel. In this regard, staff is currently discussing the details of this proposal with the
Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The permit will be held in abeyance until an authorization is
provided by DFO; however, because of the temporary nature of the sanitary sewer, staff are
promoting this as emergency works, and anticipate a quick review by DFO staff.
All disturbed areas will be stabilized with seed, sod or mulch mat, and the riparian area enhanced
with native woody plants.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposi~:
The applicant is proposing to regrade to allow for the development of 38 townhouse units. The
grading is generally 6 meters from the edge of the top of bank of the Rouge River Valley but at one
point does come as close as one meter from the top of bank as it curves toward the embankment
of Kingston Road. The Kingston Road embankment is an altered valley feature and not considered
part of the valley corridor. The valley slope is well vegetated.
Control of Flooding:
The works are not in the flood plain and will not affect flood flows. The proposed storm water system
is to be connected to the existing storm sewer system.
Pollutioll:
A sediment fence is to be installed adjacent to the top of bank to prevent the movement of sediment.
Conservation of Land:
Permanl~nt fencing is to be installed 10 meters from the edge of the top of bank which will form the
limit of the valley corridor. The portion of the setback that is on the subject property is to remain in
private ownership. As a portion of this area is to be regraded, it will be restored with native trees and
shrubs. All vegetation on the valley slope will be protected.
A geotechnical report was undertaken which indicated that the works would not impact the stability
of the slope. This report is satisfactory to staff.
Policy Guidelines:
The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management as it
relates tiC Section 4;-1.1- New-f>evelopment.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
The proposal consists of placing fill material for lot grading purposes and constructing a storm sewer
headwalIloutfalI channel, as part of the development of residential subdivision 19T(R)-98005. Only
the extreme western-most portion of the site is located within the Regional Storm flood plain and Fill
Regulated Area of a tributary of the East Don River.
Control of Flooding:
The storm sewer headwall structure and outfall channel will be located within the Regional Storm
flood plain. No fill material will be placed within the flood plain; existing grades adjacent to the outfall
on the valley floor will be maintained.
Pollution:
A combination of silt fencing, rock check dams, and street catch basin sediment traps will be
installed to control sedimentation during construction. Post-development water quality will be
enhanced by the installation of a Stormceptor within the proposed storm sewer system; the project
consultant is presently determining an appropriately sized Stormceptor for this purpose.
.
Conservation of Land:
The proposed outfall channel will terminate approximately 15 metres from the watercourse channel.
Native plant material has been requested by staff around the outfall area to enhance terrestrial
habitat on this portion of the valley floor and provide additional post-development water quality
control. Provided that the proposed methods of sedimentation control are properly maintained, no
impacts on existing fishery resources are anticipated.

For Replacement of Head Office Black Creek Pioneer Village Telephone
System. Replacement of the Head Office/Black Creek Pioneer Village
telephone system in 1999.
Moved by: Ron Moeser
Seconded by: Lorna Bissell
THAT II, accordance with the Authority Purchasing Policy, staff be directed to proceed to
condu.c:t a public tendering process for supply and installation of a Meridian 1, Option 11 C
Nortel r~etworks (Northern Telecom) Private Branch Exchange (PBX) System to replace" the
Authori1ty Head Office/Black Creek Pioneer Village telephone system. . . . . . . . . . CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In 1990, the TRCA replaced its aging telephone system with a used Northern Telecom SL-1 system
with Meridian Mail. Our implementation of voice mail and auto attendant features has proven to be
an important productivity tool in facilitating effective communications. The system was acquired as
part of a tendering process and with assistance from the Telecommunications staff of the
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto.
The system has evolved and grown as the need for additional telecommunications infrastructure has
increased with the use of fax, data and voice communications. For example, several years ago, the
Authoritv created its own fibre optic and copper twisted pair network from Head Office to Black
Creek Pioneer Village. This eliminated expensive Bell Canada off-premise extension charges and
paid for itself in about two years.
In late 1997, staff was advised that the current software for the Meridian Mail was not Year 2000
compliant. Staff entered into discussions with the existing supplier to determine options. Also, staff
again requested 'anctreeeived~stancErlrom;he-Tetectmmlunicatlons-STaff (jf the City of Toronto.
RATIONIALE
The issue is simple: The telecomm,unications technology that we are using is more than 15 years
old, mal'King replacement of parts and repairs increasingly difficult and costly. The voice mail
software is not Year 2000 compliant. The current technology cannot meet future needs in terms of
communications, marketing and customer service.
8733 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/98 December 11, 1998
Options
1. Nortel Networks Meridian 1, Option 11 C PBX System
This is the recommended solution because it is both cost and technologically ef(ective.
Advantages
. Year 2000 compliant; state-of-the-art technology
. delivers future capacity
. reduced likelihood of maintenance in early years
. minimal installation disruption because current programming can be continued and training
will be less complicated (people will be familiar with the programming)
Disadvantages
. cost...will still require a significant investment
2. Upgrade Existing SL-1lMeridian Mail Software
This is not recommended because it will be as costly as Option 1. and offers none of the
technological benefits.
Advantages:
. With major improvements, could continue to use the existing hardware
. Continue existing voice mail and auto attendant minimizing training costs and
reprogramming
Disadvantages:
. Expensive - estimated costs of the upgrades to the existing software are at least as high as
the 11 C solution
. left with 15 year old hardware and all its maintenance problems
. cannot use new digital phone equipment and features without major hardware upgrade
. in three to four years may have to look at new switch
3. Entirely New Switch(potentially different supplier)
This is not recommended because of the cost to conduct a more extensive proposal call and
because there is little likelihood of achieving a more cost and technologically effective solution than
Option 1.
Advantages:
. Will have future capacity,
. Year 2000 Compliance
. Reduce- likelihooa'of meintertance-tn-tnitial-years -
Disadvantages:
. Cost will be higher if the new system is substantially different from the existing system
because of disruption to service due to reprogramming and the need to retrain staff on new
softwarelhardware
Decembor 11, 1998 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/98 8734
4. Use Sell Centrex
This is not recommended because of the operating cost and difficulty in transforming the Head
Office/BCPV to direct-in-dial system.
Advantl:lges:
. no maintenance in house; Bell provides support
. Year 2000 Compliant; State-of-the-art technology
. easy to expand or change
. allows direct-in-dial features for all staff
Disadvuntages:
. cost...monthly charges are very high; $22.85 (plus taxes)/line x about 200 lines is
$4,570/month(plus taxes) vs current costs of $2,000/month which includes taxes; there are
fees for various types of changes required by the customer
. one time install costs are $150 per line (some discount for volume)
. depend on Bell for service and support
. requires retraining and new voice message programming
Conclusion
The use of a Bell Centrex system similar to that of the City of Toronto is best employed where large,
compleJ( and multiple locations exist. In the case of the Authority, we have one location (because
we hav(~ existing cable, BCPV and Head Office are essentially one location). Even assuming the
investment required with the other options, they offer superior costlbenefit solutions to that of a
Centrex solution. -
Upgrading the existing software and keeping the existing switch is a short term solution. To
upgrade the Meridian Mail to make it Year 2000 compliant, a newer release of PBX software is
needed which requires the switch itself to be upgraded to what is called the 51 C level. At this point,
the cost of these upgrades is at least comparable to the proposed option 11 C solution, but without
the technological advantages of a new system. Also, the Authority is exposed to continued risk of
maintenance problems. For example, the failure of the Meridian Mail system in January, 1998, led
to a NClrth America wide search for replacement hardware. Also, it appears that support and
maintenance will not be available except on a time and materials basis or on a substantially
increasod annual contract price. Use of newer digital equipment will be limited.
Tendering for a new system and tendering for Mother Northern Telecom system have relatively
similar advantages/disadvantages with some important exceptions. If the Authority continues to use
the Northern telecom hardwarelsoftware, the installation is greatly simplified and there will be
minimal training required for staff. This is cost effective and in terms of Year 2000 timing, ensures
an expE~ditious installation. Also, staff of the Authority, with support from the City of Toronto
telecomll1unications-staff~an-eonduct the-tenderil'lg1)fOcesswith-a mmimum of outside technical
consulting support. If it is necessary to tender widely for an entirely new switch, the tender
documents themselves and the process will be more complicated.
Staff h~lS determined that there are several, competitive suppliers of the Northern Telecom
equipment for which we would call tenders. Bell Canada, through restructuring, is increasingly
competitive in pricing for these products. Other companies, such as Wiltel Communicati,ons, the
Authori~(s current maintenance supplier, and MTI will, we believe, bid competitively.
8735 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/98 December 11. 1998
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The estimated cost of the telephone system project is in the $200,000 range depending on the
nature of some components (i.e. use of refurbished equipment) and the software options selected.
The 1999 Preliminary Budget includes $282,000 for telecommunications which includes not only
the head office system but updating the Kortright Centre For Conservation telephone system.
Leasing is an option which will form part of the tender process.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Time is increasingly of the essence. If the recommendation is accepted, tenders would be
requested immediately closing in early to mid January. A report and recommendation would be
brought to the February, 1999, Executive Committee and to the Authority at the end of February.
This would allow for installation of the new system by summer of 1999, well ahead of the Year 2000
deadline.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Report #5196 of the Tender Opening Sub-Committee be
received;
. - . - .. .. ~
AND FURTHER THAT Proposal #IS-01196, Computerized Records Management System, be
awarded to Microdea Inc., in the amount of $27,600 it being the lowest proposal received
which best metthe specifications ...................................... CARRIED
In 1996, the recommendation put forth by staff in support of Microdea was as follows:
Decembe,r 11, 1 9ge EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/98 8736
It is our recommendation that Microdea be selected as the preferred vendor. Our
recommendation is based on the following criteria: a firm figure was given, a clear
l'Jnderstanding of the Authority's records management needs was exhibited, adds value to our
ourrent processes through automation, will be able to incorporate other related databases
ourrently in use, reduces the reliance on a paper based process through electronic
communication, enables Authority staff to enhance various aspects of the application as
needs change, support is locally based, and source coae is stored on site.
This reo::>mmendation, two and one-half years of quality service provided to the TRCA by Microdea,
the efficient adaptation of current data management software previously developed by Microdea for
TRCA fo,r use with this impending software application, Microdea's understanding of the Authority's
needs, that all projects undertaken by Microdea have been developed as specified and within their
initial quotations, have lead staff to develop the recommendation that Microdea Inc. be awarded this
contract.
Microdea has developed similar applications for The City of Cambridge, The Town of Aurora and The
Regional Municipality of York. The City of Cambridge is currently scanning their agendas, minutes
and reports after they have been prepared. The next phase of their implementation will be to
automate the preparation and distribution ofthe agendas, minutes and reports. The Town of Aurora
is still in the development stage of their implementation. Aurora intends to utilize their application
for Intemet and Intranet use and are planning to automate their process for the preparation of the
agendas and minutes. The Region of York imported past agendas and minutes into their application
and are planning to implement the automation of the agenda/minute preparation. The City of
Cambridge, The Town of Aurora and The Region of York are very satisfied with Microdea.
The goc~ of this project is to develop a computerized management system that has the following
charactoristics:
. developed in Lotus Notes (consistent with the TRCA data base strategy);
. Elasy to use;
. performs search of topics quickly;
. restricts access to completed documents, and yet retains centralized control where needed;
. c~lows for document imaging so completed documents are available electronically;
. the ability to minimize the number of keystrokes required to do basic tasks such as:
searching for Resolutions or topics, entering data for agendas;
. c:ompatibility with other Authority database applications; and
. based on technology that will support and evolve with future Authority needs.
RATIONIALE
The Authority wishes to implement an application that will make it easier to prepare, approve and
consolidate the-preparation of Aeviser:y and At:tthofity.Board-docttments-into-a Lotus Notes based
applicati1on, that, where appropriate, will make all of these documents searchable and publicly
available. This process will provide a means for people to query the core documents and to search
for any information that they need. As an adjunct to the searching and indexing of these documents
it would be desirable to include in this project, the management of the document creation process,
also the authorization and routing process. By doing this, it will be possible to streamline the
document preparation, approval, collation and subsequent distribution process.

BACKGROUND
The Executive Committee at meeting #3/98 held on May 8,1998 adopted Resolution #B57/98.
THA T the firm of Yeoman & Associates Inc. be engaged to assist with a review of all realty
taxable Authority holdings, to assist with negotiation with the Assessment Offices and to assist
with any necessary assessment appeals to a limit of $10,000 plus G.S. T. and expenses.
While the focus of the initial phase of the project was to review all Authority holdings to identify
assessments that were unreasonable, there was some flexibility to undertake discussions with the
various Assessment Offices to resolve any significant discrepancies in values. As a result of this
review and discussions with the Assessment Offices, Yeoman & Associates have achieved a
reduction in 1998 taxes of approximately $70,000. Also as a result of this review appeals have been
filed for 116 roll numbers.
Taking into account-these reductions-the-1'f"ojeded actual tax.figures-verStls the 1998 budget figures
for each Authority location is outlined in the table below. Please note that these budget figures were
only estimates done in early 1998 without the benefit of any information on the impact the Current
Value Assessment would have on taxes. The increases and decreases from budget to projected
actuals do not relate to the work done by Yeoman and Associates.

the inclusion of this amount in the commercial realty taxes. These increases are recoverable from
the tenants.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

$50,000, which will more than cover the costs of the work undertaken by Yeoman & Associates.
As the 1996 base year use-in4998 wilHllso-be-utilized-tfl-19991!1'ld-2000;-the Authority should also
realize l:l savings of $50,000 for both 1999 and 2000.

January :22, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/98 8765
This agreement was conditional upon approval being obtained from the City of Etobicoke and the
Province of Ontario. While approval of the City was obtained, approval of the Province was not
obtained. Efforts to renegotiate the transaction on a basis acceptable to all parties was made. In
spite 0" extensive efforts by staff and solicitors of the Authority, the City of Etobicoke and the
Provincial Facilitator and the owners legal costs being paid, negotiations were unsuccessful.
On February 28, 1996 the Authority expropriated land or inter~st in land from 8 property owners,
including 707985 Ontario Inc. required to carry out the Revised Project for the Etobicoke Motel Strip
Waterfn:mt Park (March, 1993).
During 1he 1950's or 1960's there was extensive filling of Lake Ontario in the Motel Strip Area. This
filling created in excess of 100 metres of land at the rear of this property now owned by 707985
Ontario Inc. There were extensive discussions about whether 707985 Ontario Inc. had title or an
interes1 in this land and even if they did not whether they retained riparian rights. To allow
construction to proceed, the Authority expropriated any interest including riparian rights 707985
Ontario Inc. might have had in the land created by lake filling.
Over thE~ past several months negotiations have been conducted with officials of 707985 Ontario 'nc
and their solicitor Alan Bennett of Bennett Best Burn.
Situate on the owners property is an operating motel (The Cruise Motel).
The Authority's solicitor Paul Henry of Chappell, Bushell, Stewart Barristers and Solicitors has
reviewed the transaction and is satisfied with the proposed terms.
The Dire!ctor of the Water Resource Division is in agreement with this proposal and is in concurrence
with the completion of this transaction on the basis as set out.
Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands.
RATIONALE
The completion of this transaction results in the settlement of the first of eight properties or interest
in prope!rties expropriated on the Etobicoke Motel Strip.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Fundin~l for this acquisition will be charged to Account 208-46-502 - Revised Project for the
Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park account for which funds have been allocated and approved.

THAT pennits be granted in accordance with Ontario Regulation 158 for the applications (8.1.1
- 8.1.6) which are listed below:
CITY OF BRAMPTON
8.1.1 REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF PEEL
To place fill within a regulated area on Part Lot 10, Concession 1 EHS, (Centennial Park),
in the City of Brampton, Etobicoke Creek Watershed as located on the property owned
by City Of Brampton.
The purpose is to place fill and alter a watercourse in order to undertake erosion protection works
on the Etobicoke Creek.
The permit will be issued for the period of January 15, 1999 to January 14, 2001 in accordance with
the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
. AGRA Earth & Environmental Ltd.; project 98-6802; drawings 1 and 2 dated October
2,1998; drawing 3 dated revised November 19,1998 (TOTAL 3)
RATIOr~ALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
8768 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/98 January 22, 1999
Proposal:
To undertake bank protection works on the east bank of the Etobicoke Creek in Centennial Park,
Brampton. The works are required to protect an old landfill site located on the east bank area
immediately south of the existing flood control channel. The works also involve ~reation of a new
channel section on the west side of the creek and restoration plantings. This work is required for
fisheries compensation purposes.
Control of Flooding:
The applicant has undertaken a hydraulic analysis for the proposed channel section works. This
analysis confirms that the works will not have an impact on the existing hydraulic conditions or
compromise the function of the existing flood control channel.
Pollution:
The sediment control plan includes restricted construction access, a series of rock check dams and
adherence to the timing guidelines for warm water fisheries. The contractor will work from the west
bank, eliminating any requirement for machinery to enter the watercourse,
Conservation of Land:
The landfill located on the east bank will be protected by rip rap graded at a 1:5 to 1 angle and
keyed into the channel bed. As the protection of the east bank will result in a loss of existing stream
bed, it is considered to represent harmful alteration to fish habitat (HADD). As a result, a
compensation plan has been prepared which involves creating a new channel section on the west
bank and undertaking riparian plantings on the west edge on the new channel. This plan has been
reviewed and approved by Authority staff.
Pursuant to the agreement with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, a letter of intent has been
prepared and forwarded to DFO for approval. If this application is approved, a permit will not be
issued until the authorization letter is received from DFO.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with the approved Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program section

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposc:~:
The applicant is-proposing1o construct a residential tower on Bloor Street near Sherbourne Street.
It is on a small in-fill lot at the edge of the Rosedale Valley Ravine. The Rosedale Valley Road runs
along thl3 base of the valley slope. The developer was originally proposing to construct an access
road to the site from this road, since the City would not allow construction access from Bloor Street
due to vehicle and pedestrian traffic concerns. However, City staff have now re-evaluated the
proposed access to this site and prefer a controlled access from Bloor Street. Therefore, there will
be no disturbance to the Rosedale Valley slope for access purposes.
8na EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/98 January 22, 1999
The building is to be constructed two floors below the existing grade. Shoring will be used to
protect the existing slope (which is owned by the City of Toronto) and vegetation loss will be
substantially minimized by not constructing a construction access road from the Rosedale Valley
Roacf. The location and setbacks of the structure are consistent with the other high rise towers along
this reach.
Control of Flooding:
The works are not located in the flood plain and will not impact the control of flooding.
Pollution:
Sediment fencing will be installed along the top of the valley slope to prevent the transport of
construction- generated sediments from the site.
Conservation of Land:
The proposed building will be located above the physical top-of-bank previously staked for this site;
the tower will be situated 2 metres at its closest point to the top-of-bank and 6.5 metres away at the
furthest point. A geotechnical report was reviewed and accepted by Authority staff, which indicated
that the slope was stable and that the works would not affect the stability of the slope. In addition,
our staff have reviewed the shoring plans and are satisfied with these details. No encroachment on
the adjacent City-owned land will take place; a planting plan will be submitted for Authority staff
review and acceptance for the area disturbed by the shoring work, which will consist of native tree,
shrub, and herbaceous plant species.
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 (G) Infilling.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Propos,al:
To undertake regrading works to allow for the construction of a new access road around the
northem perimeter of the existing building, constructing a 5 level addition to the existing parking
garage structure and excavating and regrading to construct a stormwater management facility. All
works are located within the floodplain and fill regulated area of the Don River.
These works are proposed due to a planned expansion (construction of a second building) of the
hospital required as a result of the closing of the emergency facility of the Branson division. The
construction of the new building (which will be located outside the Authority regulated area) will
result in the elimination of most of the existing surface parking, The hospital already has a shortage
of parking. Due to land area constraints, the selected alternative was to expand the existing parking
deck (located on tableland adjacent to the top of bank) over the top of bank and into the floodplain,
creating a five level parking structure. There is currently a surface parking lot in the area of the
proposl3d expansion. The proposal also involves constructing a new access road to improve fire and
emergElncy access to the east side of the existing building.
Control of Flooding:
As part of the technical review process, the proponent has revised the hydraulic model for the Don
River with the proposed changes in place. Staff have reviewed this model and confirm that there
are no significant impacts on the existing hydraulics. The proposed parking garage has been
reviewed by a structural engineer to ensure that the structure can be adequately wet flood proofed
to the Flegional Storm flood elevation.
The stOl'mwater management facility will provide level 2 quality control as well as 25 mm - 24 hour
detention of runoff from the site. Pre treatment of runoff will also be provided. The pond will outlet
to the existing storm- sewer ol:ftfall.
Pollution:
Sediment and erosion controls will be used in the construction of the stormwater management pond
and the access road, both of which are in close proximity to the channel. The parking deck is not
located near the watercourse (approximately 100 metres).
8n8 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/98 January 22, 1999
Conservation of Land:
The proponent has undertaken a geotechnical investigation for the perimeter access road which is
located on the slope at the northeast corner of the existing building. Staff will be reviewing this
report to ensure that the proposed retaining wall design will remain stable and not impact the
existing stable slope.
A rehabilitation planting plan consisting of native species in accordance with the Stormwater
Management Policies and Practices Manual has been prepared for the stormwater management
facility.
Policy Guidelines:
The construction of the proposed parking deck over the existing top of bank of the Don River valley
is not in compliance with the approved Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program section
4.2.2. - Existing Development. In particular, the addition to the deck would be considered a major
addition and it will project over the top of slope when the existing structure is not already located on
the slope.
Staff had originally expressed these concerns to the hospital. As a result, the hospital invited input
from an informal group of the Don Council and local councilors. They also looked at an alternative
undertaking which would have involved expanding the parking deck to the south on lands owned
by the Ministry of Transportation. This alternative was found to be impractical due to the presence
of a hi9h pressure gas main on the lands. As a result, the hospital made a formal application to the
Authority to allow for the parking deck as an exception to the policy. A letter from councilor Sl'Iiner
supporting the application was also received.
Staff indicated that we were prepared to recommend in favor of a policy exception on this basis,
similar to the approval granted to York Central Hospital (resolution B 80/98). As part of the proposal,
the hospital agreed to provide a stormwater management facility to treat runoff from the entire site.
The above noted application is in conformance with the technical criteria agreed to by staff and the
hospital,

January 22, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/98 8n9
The pLlrpose is to alter a waterway by constructing a storm sewer headwall and outfall channel within
the Regional Storm flood plain of a tributary of the German Mills Creek.
The pElrmit will be issued for the period of January 15, 1999 to January 14, 2001.
. Redlined Grading Plan; prepared by Fred Schaeffer & Associates Ltd.; Contract
No. 94-E-1665; Drawing No.2; Rev. 3 dated D~cember, 1998; received January
12,1999.
RATIOINALE
The 8I=,plication was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
ProDosal:
The proposal consists of installing a 200 millimeter diameter PVC storm sewer pipe (with
catchbasins) and an associated headwall/outfall channel to collect and redirect rear yard drainage
from three lots within an existing subdivision (File: 19T -91019). Originally, the three backyard areas
were gi"aded to allow for sheet runoff toward an existing drainage swale which carried this isolated
storm ~ow to a watercourse east of the site. However, an adjacent property has been experiencing
standing water problems as a result of this drainage scheme; the proposed works will alleviate the
periodic flooding on the neighbouring lands. The micro storm sewer system will cross lands owned
by the Town of Richmond Hill then traverse an open space block conveyed to the TRCA during the .
approval of the residential subdivision. Owner's authorization has been obtained from the Town of
Richmond Hill for: the proposed works; an easement request has been submitted to Authority
Property Section staff, which is outlined in a separate report on this agenda,
Control of Flooding:
Only the headwall and outfall channel will be located within the Regional Storm flood plain of a
tributary of the German Mills Creek. All existing grades within the flood plain will be maintained; the
watercourse is not presently fill regulated, but fill lines are proposed as part of the Authority's on-
going Fill Regulation Extension Program. Staff has confirmed that the control of flooding will not be
affected by the proposed works.
Polluticln:
A rock check dam will be installed at the end of the proposed outfall channel to the watercourse to
trap construction-generated sediments. Silt fencing and catch basin sediment traps will control
sedimentation along the remainder of the storm sewer route.
Conservation of Land:
The disturbed riparian zone will be rehabilitated with native vegetation; all other disturbed areas will
be seeded and -cevered-wittrerosion-control-bfankets;-Based on the proposed methods of
sedimentation control, staff has confirmed that fisheries resources within the watercourse will not
be impacted by the construction; therefore, authorization from the federal Department of Fisheries
and Oceans will not be required for the proposed works.
Policv Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.3 -Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and
Stream corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to sever a residential lot that is approximately 128 metres deep and 30
metres wide. A small, remnant tributary of the Don River flows in a southerly direction along the east
side of the property. There is an existing private roadway from Weldrick Road which runs parallel
to and is located east of the tributary. The private roadway presently terminates at an existing
driveway which crosses the watercourse to access an existing residence immediately south of the
subject lands. The existing private roadway is to be extended along the east side of the watercourse
and a drivewaY/culvert will be constructed to access the new house site located west of the
watercourse. A building envelope has been established for the newly created lot which includes a
5 metre buffer area between the envelope and the top of bank to the watercourse. The consent
application (File: B054/98) was approved by the Town of Richmond Hill Committee of Adjustment,
subject to the owner obtaining approval from the TRCA for the driveway culvert crossing. The
subject watercourse drains an upstream area of less than 125 hectares; the site is not presently fill
regulated,
Control of Flooding:
Based on the limited upstream drainage area, the new house will not be located in the flood plain.
The proposed culvert is to be sized the same as the existing driveway culvert to the south. There will
be no impact on localized flows resulting from this work.
Pollution:
----~ -
January 22, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/98 8761
Due to the intermittent nature of the stream, the culvert work can be completed in dry conditions to
prevent sediment from traveling downstream.
Conselvation of Land:
This wsd:ercourse does not provide any in-situ fish habitat. However, there is cold water fish habitat
downstream of Weldrick Road. In order to protect the habitat downstream and meet the
requirements of the Federal Fisheries Act, all work will be undertaken when there is no flow in the
watercourse, during the construction time period identified to protect cold water fisheries. A riparian
area immediately adjacent to the watercourse will be naturalized with native trees, shrubs, and
herbaceous plantslground covers.
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.

BACK<::iROUND
The development of the Humber River Watershed Fisheries Management Plan was guided by a
steering committee composed of staff from the Authority, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources,
non-government 'Organizations; member~ of1he Hllmber l'askfurce and the public.
The plan provides an assessment of the present condition and potential of fish communities and
habitat and through analysis, identifies an aquatic habitat classification system for the watershed.
The classification system allows watercourses to be grouped into categories of similar characteristics
for which there are similar habitat requirements, fish community targets and management
implica1ions.
87B2 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/98 January 22, 1999
One of the challenges to achieving the management objectives of the fisheries management plan
is the presence of more than 100 instream barriers in the watershed. Of these, eleven have been
identified as having critical importance for mitigation because they prevent migratory species from
accessing headwater areas where conditions are suitable for spawning. The barrier on the Board
of Trade Golf Course prevents all fish from moving further upstream and is therefore, the major
barrier to allowing migratory fish species access to spawning habitat and would preclude the
reintroduction of Atlantic salmon to the watershed.
Because of concerns about competition between resident brook and brown trout upstream and
introduced migratory trout and salmon from Lake Ontario, it was decided by the steering committee
guiding development of the Fisheries Management Plan that this barrier would be operated
selectively to only allow desirable migratory species (Atlantic salmon and brown trout). Following
construction of fish passage, an agreement between the Authority and the Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources will be developed for management and operation of the structure.
The mitigation of the effects of the Board of Trade weir is a partnership between the Authority, the
Ministry of Natural Resources, Action to Restore a Clean Humber, York Region and the Board of
Trade Golf Course. A steering committee comprised of representatives from these groups
developed a terms of reference for the hiring of a consultant to prepare a final design for fish
passage at the Board of Trade weir and will see the project through to its implementation.

BACKC:iROUND
Ontario Hydro lands within the City of Toronto (Scarborough District) were declared surplus by the
Ontario Hydro in March 1996. The location of the surplus lands extend north west from Kennedy
Road north of Lawrence Avenue, to Birchmount Road; then from Warden Avenue, west to Highway
401; and then north from Highway 401 to McNicoll Avenue.
Ontario Hydro has sold the surplus lands north of Highway 401 to Graywood Investments Ltd. and
south of Highway 401 to Norstar Development Coroporation. The former City of Scarborough
approved Official Plan Amendment 1001 which redesignated the Hydro Corridor lands as Open
Space, Ontario Hydro appealed the decision of the City to the Ontario Municipal Board, and
GraYWClod and Norstar filed their own Official Plan Amendments, subdivisions and rezoning, which
were consolidated with the Hearings, The Ontario Municipal Board Hearing of the appeals has been
split in10 two Hearings, with an appeal from the First Alliance Church, who own property adjacent
to the Hydro Corridor, to be heard sometime in the future. The Graywood portion began October
5, 199El and has since been completed. The second hearing is for the Norstar portion which is
scheduled to commence February 22, 1999.
There have been several previous staff reports on the issue of the Hydro Corridor lands that have
been considered by the Authority. Primarily the Authority position with regard to the Ontario
Municipal Board Hearings is to work closely and provide support to the City of Toronto in order to
preparl3 a strong case in support of the Open Space designation. The Authority has Participant
status before the Board.
The int,erests of the Authority as they relate to the Hydro Corridor lands are with respect to the
protection and regenerationlenhancement of the Bendale and Dorset Park Corridors which are
tributar ies of the Highland Creek as well as other related water management issues. These two
tributary corridors are partially contained within, and are adjacent to, the Hydro Corridor lands.
Previous staff reports and resolutions of the Authority identify that the Authority's interest in
participating in the acquisition of the Ontario Hydro lands, in the City of Toronto (Scarborough) be
limited to those lands which meet the Authority's criteria for defining lands which are suitable for
acquisition. The criteria would include the tributary corridors from the stable top of bank or regional
storm floodline, plus a minimum 10 metre buffer.
Ontario Hydro/Gravwood Investments Ltd.
At Authority Meeting #8/98, held September 25, 1998, a status report was considered on the Hydro
Corridclr lands north of Highway 401 with regard to the Ontario Municipal Board (OM B) Hearing,
which commenced on October 5,1998, for the portion owned by Graywood Investments Ltd. That
status mport also included information and comments on the Study prepared by XCG Consultants
for the City, entitled "Ontario Hydro Corridor (West Highland Creek) Investigation of Stormwater
Managoment, Naturalization and Open Space Opportunities".
8786 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/98 January 22, 1999
The City position before the OMB did not include support for the protection and rehabilitation of the
Highland Creek Stream Corridor nor did it make reference to the recommendations of the XCG
Report. Therefore, Authority staff attended the OMB Hearing dealing with the Graywood portion and
gave a presentation to the OMB outlining and supporting the interests of the Authority as outlined
in the staff report considered at Authority Meeting #8/98. The OMB Hearing dealing with the
Graywood portion has ended and a decision has now been released by the Board.
The decision of the Board is that the Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 1001, which provided for Open
Space over the entire Hydro Corridor, north of Highway 401, NOT be approved and that the Hydro
Corridor be developed primarily for residential purposes. Further the Board ordered that the
Bendale Tributary channel be dedicated to the City; however, the Board was not prepared to
designate a 10 metre buffer of public open space adjacent to the top of bank of the channel for
renaturalization measures. The Board recognized that the Authority is undertaking a Highland
Creek Watershed Strategy; however, the Strategy is in its preliminary stages with no final
recommendations. Further, the Board identified that the 10 metre buffer was not defined by
legislation or provincial or municipal policy documents such as environmentally sensitive or hazard
lands. The Board noted that the City did not request a 10 metre buffer and therefore, the proposed
subdivision where it abuts the Bendale Tributary channel, can facilitate the 10 metre buffer in private
open space in the form of structural rear yard setbacks.
It is important to understand and appreciate that although the City of Toronto, generally supports
regeneration efforts, the City of Toronto did not support an all green Open Space position at the
OMB Hearing, nor did the City support the regeneration of the Highland Creek Corridor. Even
though the City - undertook the recent "West Highland Creek Investigation of Stormwater
Management, Naturalization -and Open Space Opportunities", the recommendations of that report,
which were detailed in the previous staff report to the Authority, Meeting #8/98, were not presented
by the City at the OMB Hearing.
Since the decision of the Board, it is staff's understanding that City Council has approved an appeal
of the OMB decision based on error in law and jurisdictional approval. The City opinion is that the
Board decision on residential lot sizes and location is not compatible with the existing residential
communities.
The Second OMB Hearing
The second OMB Hearing to deal with OPA 1001, south of Highway 401, is scheduled for February
22, 1999. An OMB Prehearing Conference was held on December 7,1998 with respect to OPA
1001, south of Highway 401 to Warden Avenue, and then from Birchmount Road to Kennedy Road.
Norstar Development Corp. (Norstar) has proposed a private OPA, subdivision and zoning to allow
for residential purposes, as well as Ontario Hydro who have proposed an OPA for a remnant parcel
of land immediately west of Kennedy Road to allow for the redesignation of the Hydro corridor for
residential and commercial purposes. See Attachment 1.
Staff of the Authority attended the Prehearing Conference and requested once again to retain
Participant status. Not including the Authority, there are 6 Party's to the Hearing: Norstar, Ontario
Hydro, the City of Toronto, the Birchmount Boarding Kennels (who have an issue of noise in close
proximity to any new development), the Terraview Willowfield Residence Association, and the Dorset
Park Community Ratepayers Association (both residence groups are being represented by one
lawyer).
January 22, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/98 8787
An Issues Ust and Procedural Order has been finalized and Evidence by way of Witness Statements
and Pa1icipant Statements must be filed by the City, Hydro, Norstar and TRCA by January 18, 1999.
Scarborough Community Council meeting is on January 20, 1999. A City staff report will be
consid,ered at the January 20th meeting. Therefore, until the Community Council meeting, and
subsequent Full City Council meeting, it is difficult for TRCA staff to fully appreciate the position of
the City that will be defended at the OMB. TRCA staff have written several letters to City staff
outlining our position and comments as they relate to the private applications for development and
our deHire for the City to represent our interests.
As-in the case-of the Graywood OMB Hearing, TRCA staff have been left with the impression that the
City will not be defending an all green Open Space position on the Norstar and Hydro Hearing.
Given the OMS decision on the Hydro lands north of Highway 401, primarily in favour of
development, TRCA staff have provided comments on the private applications, not in support of an
all grelm open space hydro corridor, but rather, in support of the Authority's Valley and Stream
Corridor Management Program which identifies the valley and stream corridor as the stable top of
bank 01' regional storm floodline plus a minimum 10 metre buffer, as well as identifying stormwater
managl~ment alternatives for the site in a watershed context, given that there will most likely be some
form o'f development allowed within the Hydro Corridor, south of Highway 401. Staff feel this is
consistent with previous Authority resolutions and recommendations which identified supporting
the City in an all green position, but recognizing our limitations to only those areas associated with
the Highland Creek Corridor. Although the Authority is an advocate of regeneration measures for
degraded watercourse systems, without the final Highland Creek Watershed Strategy
recominendations, it is difficult for Authority staff to make a case in favour of regeneration 'and
renaturalization of-the entire Hydro Corridor lands.
Norstar Development CorD.
Norstar now owns the lands south of Highway 401 to Warden Avenue and then from Birchmount
Road E'ast to just east of Wye Valley Road. The Norstar proposal is for single- detached, semi-
detached and townhouse residential dwellings. TRCA staff are in receipt and have reviewed a
Functional Servicing Study (FSS) for the proposed development. We provide comments on the
Norstar proposal in two parts. One being for that portion of the hydro corridor within the Maryvale
Community, just south of Highway 401 to Warden. The second being that portion from Birchmount
AvenUE' to just east of Wye Valley Road within the Dorset Park Community.
Maryvalle
From Attachment 1, you will note that there is no valley or stream corridor which directly affects this
reach of the hydro lands. The stormwater from the Maryvale portion drains to the Don River. Staff
recommendation is that an open space area be secured through the Maryvale portion in order to
accommodate a future trail system that would allow for pedestrian movement to the Terraview
Willowfield Concept Site located immediately west of the subject parcel. With regard to the
proposE~d stormwater-rTl8AtlQement scheme;-Gity staff have identified that they support underground
storage for water quantity control. Given the small size of the development, less than 5 hectares,
we haVE! no objection; however, for water quality control staff recommendation is not to support the
implementation of oil and grit separators, as proposed by Norstar, but rather to implement a cash
in lieu settlement for water quality and erosion control. Staff opinion is that since the stormwater
drains tC) the Concept Site, the funds could be used for the further implementation of the Terraview
Willowfil~ld Concept Site which would provide an overall benefit to the environment. City staff have
identifiE!d their support of this initiative.
8788 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/98 January 22, 1999
Dorset Park
Norstar is proposing a residential development adjacent to the Dorset Park Tributary channel. From
Attachment 2, you will note that the Dorset Park Tributary is piped underground immediately east
of Birchmount Road; however, the corridor still has an associated regional storm floodplain. Then
approximately 180 metres west of Canlish Road, the Dorset Park Tributary resurfaces above ground
and is contained in a man-made concrete lined channel. The regional storm floodplain is generally
contained within the channel except where it spills outside the, channel at Canlish and Wye Valley
Roads where the regional flows cannot pass through the culverts.
The residential development proposal by Norstar proposes a minimum 10 metre buffer from the top
of bank of the Dorset Park channel where the tributary exists as a natural feature, above ground.
The Buffer area adjacent the Tributary has been identified on the Plan as Park. The proposed
Streets A and B are located outside the Buffer area; however, at Canlish and Wye Valley Roads, a
small portion of the proposed Streets are located within the regional storm floodplain. TRCA
technical staff have reviewed the depths and velocities of the flooding condition at these locations
and have determined that they are minor in nature and that safe access can be achieved in the
design of the proposed Streets. Permits under Ontario Regulation will be required.
With regard to the proposed Townhouse Blocks 1 through 5 located near Birchmount Road, and
Block 6 located on the east side of Wye Valley Road, given the previous Authority recommendations
and the policy direction of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, the Authority
position and comments to the City are that a minimum 10 metre buffer be identified from the
regional storm flood line. Given the depths of proposed lots abutting the regional storm flood line,
this recommendation would eliminate the potential development of Blocks 1 through 6.
Given the previous Board decision on the Graywood appeal, the 10 metre buffer from the regional
storm flood line was not supported. Again without fully understanding the City position to be taken
on the subdivision application with respect to the 10 metre buffer, it is difficult for staff to identify
whether the City will be supporting the 10 metre buffer in public ownership. As a minimum, and still
consistent with Authority policy, a structural 1 0 metre setback from the regional flood line, in private
ownership within Blocks 1 through 6 will be recommended.
The consultants for Norstar have proposed 3 options for stormwater management:
1. Superpipes and oil/grit separators
2. Retrofit of the existing stormwater management facility for the proposed development
3. Cash in lieu settlement
Staff recommendation is for Option 3. The funds collected would be directed to the implementation
of the West Highland Creek Stormwater Management Study which will include retrofitting the
existing Kennedy-Road..stollRwater management-facilityj--to -treat. both existing, uncontrolled
development, as well as the proposed development. This would result in an overall environmental
benefit to the Highland Creek Watershed.
January 22, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/98 8789
Ontario Hydro Remnant Parcel
Ontark) Hydro continues to own a parcel of land immediately west of Kennedy Road, east of the
existin!~ Stormwater Management facility. See Attachment 2. The entire parcel of land is located
within the regional storm floodplain with the lands beginning to flood at the 5 year event. Ontario
Hydro has proposed a private Official Plan Amendment to redesignate the subject parcel for
residential and commercial purposes. This application has been approved for consolidation by the
OMB with the Norstar Hearing. Staff have commented to both the City and to Ontario Hydro
identifying that the remnant parcel of Ontario Hydro owned lands is entirely within the regional storm
f100dpliain and is not suitable for development purposes. We have identified that this is consistent
with Prl:>vincial Policy for a one-zone approach to floodplain management and the Authority's Valley
and Stream Corridor Management Program.
Acauisition Strategy
City Council has approved an acquisition strategy to acquire the Priority 1 lands as identified in the
XCG R(~port which would include all the hydro lands between Birchmount Road and Kennedy Road.
Estimated value and funding mechanisms have not yet been finalized, nor have negotiations with
Norstar and Hydro been completed, It cannot be determined at this time whether these Priority 1
lands will be acquired before the start of the Hearing on February 22, 1999, or whether through the
OMB Hearing, that value of the lands will be determined based on approval of land use for the hydro
corridor.
RATIONALE
It is recommended that given the OMB decision on the Hydro Corridor lands north of Highway 401
for the Graywood appeal and the lack of Board support and lack of City support for regenerationl
renaturialization measures as- part of their case at the OMB, and/or a 10 metre public buffer adjacent
to the tributary channel, Authority staff recommendation for the second OMB Hearing is the
following:
1. Take no position on the Maryvale portion of the development and deal with the trail and
stormwater management issues through conditions of draft approval;
2. Accept the subdivision plan for the Dorset Park portion in so far as it does support a 10
metre open space buffer to the Dorset Park Tributary, where the watercourse feature exists
above ground.
In the reach near Birchmount Road and adjacent to the stormwater management facility at
Wye Valley Road, where the proposed townhouse Blocks 1 to 6 abut the regional storm
floodplain, recommend a 10 metre buffer in public ownership to assist in the regeneration
of the Highland Creek Watershed, only if supported by the City.
If the City~s-not willing to-support a-1 0 metrebuffer'in public ownership, request through the
zoning and conditions of draft approval that a 10 metre structural setback from the regional
storm floodline be applied.
3, Continue to work with Norstar and the City to achieve retrofitting of the stormwater
management facility for treatment of the existing and proposed development in an effort to
provide an environmental benefit to the Highland Creek Watershed.
~--
8790 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/98 January 22, 1999
4. Advocate a one-zone approach to floodplain management and recommend against an OPA
to allow for new development within the floodplain on the Hydro remnant parcel at Kennedy
Road.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Authority staff will prepare Participant Statements to be filed with the OMB on January 18, 1999
which support the recommendations and interests as outlined in this staff report in the event that
the City is not supporting the interests of the Authority in their case before the OMB. However, if the
City is supporting the Authority recommendations, staff will assist and provide expert technical
advice in support of the City case.
A separate report on the Acquisition Strategy for the Priority 1 lands will be prepared for Authority
consideration once staff fully understand the Authority's involvement in the Strategy and the
progress of the City in acquiring the Hydro Corridor lands.

AND FURTHER THAT the parties to the hearing and the Kleinberg and Area Ratepayers'

BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #9/98, held October 30/98, the Authority received for information a status
report on the OMB referrals, originating from an appeal by the applicant in 1991, relating to the
Crooked Creek Golf Course Proposal as located within the City of Vaughan, East Humber River
watershed, just north of Kleinberg. Staff advised that a hearing to rezone a portion of the valleylands
to permit the golf course and to obtain site plan approval for same had, at the request of the
applicant, been rescheduled after a lengthy adjournment relating to the City's OPA 400 and that the
hearing would commence January or February 1999. One of the key issues of concern to the
Authority and others was that in 1995 all parties agreed to a settlement based on a revised site plan
and zoning by-law; therefore, a hearing continued from the 1991 appeal and applications would be
inappropriate. (The applications currently being argued by the applicant vary significantly from
those agreed to through the settlement and are comparable to the same applications that the
Authority, the City of Vaughan, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Kleinberg and Area
Ratepayers' Association decided to oppose.)
Staff further reported that a motion to enforce the settlement was scheduled to be heard by the OMB
on December 15/98 ar-ld-tRat if the.actual-Aearing-of-the metter~as to proceed in the new year, then
the Authority's previous direction to oppose the applications would be pursued at the hearing, The
Ministry of Natural Resources, the City of Vaughan and the Kleinberg and Area Ratepayers'
Association were in support of the Authority's actions.
January :22, 1999 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/98 8799
RATIOI~ALE
The m01tion regarding settlement was argued on December 15/99 as scheduled, but unfortunately
was not successful. The Board member simply refused the motion and advised that the reasons
for doing so would be forthcoming. Several options in response to this decision were available,
depending on the reasons for refusal:
. Appeal to the Divisional Court
. Commence a legal proceeding to declare the matter settled
. Simply proceed to the OMB hearing
Wrthout benefit of the reasons for refusal, it waslis difficult to determine how to proceed; however,
based on the arguments raised at the December 15/98 hearing of the settlement motion, it is
possiblo that the Board refused the motion for reasons that would suggest that the OMB does not
have thl! jurisdiction to determine in law whether a contract of settlement existed. If this is the case,
then thEl appeal to the Divisional Court would be a reasonable course of action for the Authority to
pursue, If the appeal is proceeded with, a further request to the OMB would be necessary to
adjourn the matter further. This would avoid the cost of a three week hearing on a matter previously
settled, it would protect the principle that reasonable settlements should be upheld, and, should the
settlemont be upheld, it would protect the valley corridor. Accordingly, in the absence of having the
reason:) for the Board's decision, staff instructed legal counsel to take the actions necessary to
reserve this opportunity. Action had to be taken by December 30/98 so the Notice of Motion for
Leave tl) Appeal was filed with the Court on December 22, 1998.
DETAILs OF WORK TO BE DONE
We are .actively pursuing with the OMB its reasons for the refusal so that we can finalize the course
of action on the Divisional Court Appeal. As of January 13, 1999, those reasons have not been
delivered. Staff is also actively preparing its case for the upcoming OMB hearing in cooperation with
the Ministry of Natural Resources, the City of Vaughan and the Kleinberg and Area Ratepayers'
Association.
