8.2
Peter Thorne regarding the Rural Portion of the Zoning By-law Amendment for ZONE Clarington and a Clarington Official Plan Amendment
 

Peter Thorne was present via electronic means regarding the rural portion of the Zoning By-law Amendment for ZONE Clarington and a Clarington Official Plan Amendment.  He explained that the expansion of the Environmentally Protected (EP) designation has been confusing and this large expansion of EP designation is a concern.  Mr. Thorne explained that a portion of his land falls within the EP designation.  He advised Council that he applied to sever his land which is when he learned about the restrictions of EP land.  Mr. Thorne noted that he was advised that he would not be permitted to sever the land unless he gave 30% of his land to the Municipality.  He noted that he wants people to be made more aware of the control of the EP designation.  Mr. Thorne explained that Planning Staff visited his property and the decision initially did not change and he was expected to pay for a survey of his property and 5% tax in lieu of the donation of parkland.  He added that initially he was advised that five meters would be donated to the Municipal but after the assessment he was asked to donate 15 meters and was told that the proposed trail would start right in front of his home.  Mr. Thorne requested a meeting with all parties involved and the trail was redesigned to be further away from his property and the requested land was reduced back to five meters.  He added that the land has since been severed, and the property was sold.  Mr. Thorne concluded by stating that the expansion of EP designation will result in further frustration and backlash.  He asked the Members of Council to come together and make a common sense decision. Mr. Thorne answered questions from the Members of Council.

8.3
Gord Robinson regarding the Rural Portion of the Zoning By-law Amendment for ZONE Clarington
 

Gord Robinson was present via electronic means regarding the rural portion of the Zoning By-law Amendment for ZONE Clarington and a Clarington Official Plan Amendment.  Mr. Robinson advised the Members of Council that he wanted to address the lifting and the two associated motions regarding rural portion of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment. He stated that he feels both proposed motions will allow the rural portion of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment move forward.  Mr. Robinson believes the issues were created from the previous Council, and encouraged the Members of Council to listen to the 2016 audio when the Official Plan Amendment was considered and Council decided not to notify the public. He stated that he has asked several times why additional EP designations have been added and that he has not heard back from Staff.  Mr. Robinson explained that the rural property owners were advised, at a Town Hall, that going forward the notification would be better.  He asked why the motion for the proposed review of the Greenbelt expansion for the properties was addressed so quickly, yet the rural zoning issues have not been dealt with.  Mr. Robinson concluded by asking Members of Council to support Councillor Neal's motion and for it not to be referred back to Staff.  He answered questions from the Members of Council.

8.6
Bev Oda regarding the Rural Portion of the Zoning By-law Amendment for ZONE Clarington and a Clarington Official Plan Amendment
 

Bev Oda was present via electronic means regarding the rural portion of the Zoning By-law Amendment for ZONE Clarington and a Clarington Official Plan Amendment.  She noted the issue of EP land designation in rural Clarington was brought to the attention of the rural property owners over 18 months ago.  Ms. Oda noted that the residents have provided comments on the matter by way of correspondence and delegations.  She feels there have been some improvements however, as noted in a reply from Minister Steven Clark, Clarington added additional EP land over the provincial requirements. Ms. Oda asked for only the provincial requirements for EP land be included.  She stated that she supports Councillor Neal's proposed motion as she feels it is trying to find a solution and shows that Council has listened to the residents.  Ms. Oda added that she feels Councillor Anderson's motion is made with the best of intentions but is too open ended and does not address the issues.  She reviewed the proposed options are and stated that Councillor Anderson's motion will not satisfy the rural property owners, will cause further frustration, and does not address East Gwillimbury.  Ms. Oda concluded by asking the Members of Council to support Councillor Neal's motion.  She answered questions from the Members of Council.
