Delegations

6.1

Don Mitchell, Resident (In-Person Attendance)

Re: PDE 11-23, Planning and Development (Engineering Services) Department Report

Highway 7/12 Alternative Route EA – Addition of Columbus Road (Country Lane to Lake Ridge Road) EA to Scope of Work

Refer to Item 8.5, PDE 11-23

Don Mitchell, Resident, appeared before Council and indicated that he was interested in finding solutions regarding the Highway 7/12 Alternative Route that would protect the Oak Ridges Moraine, protect current and future residents of Brooklin, and maintain confidence of residents in Council and Council commitments of the past. He stated that completing the EA and then having Council recommend a route outside of the Moraine was the best way to protect the Moraine. He advised that Council should adopt a resolution to identify their commitment to a route outside of the Moraine. He noted that the alternative route would only be constructed if and when Council provided funding for the project. Mr. Mitchell indicated that completing the EA would allow for a full discussion about the impacts of the alternative routes, including the option of not constructing an alternative route. He noted that growth will need to be accommodated and that there will be significant costs associated with any option. He stated that the social and environmental impacts will not be fully understood without completing the EA. Mr. Mitchell advised that any alternative route will be objected to by affected residents, and he noted that the option of doing nothing will also receive objections.

• Moved by Councillor Mulcahy
  Seconded by Councillor Lee

  That the rules of procedure be suspended to allow the delegation to exceed the five minute speaking limit.

  Carried

  Mr. Mitchell continued his delegation noting that widening of Myrtle Road was a potential outcome if Council does not identify an alternative route. He indicated that public consultation about the alternative route has not occurred since November 2021 and that notice of the potential termination of the EA was not provided. Mr. Mitchell noted that in November 2021 Council unanimously endorsed the need for an alternative route and for Town control of Baldwin Street in Brooklin to streamline development approvals and for the safety of Brooklin residents. He recommended that consideration of the matter be deferred until the fall to allow for public engagement and to receive information from Staff about the implications of terminating the EA. He further suggested that discussions with the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) begin about gaining local care and control of Baldwin Street. 

  A question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Mr. Mitchell regarding:

  • past attempts by the Town to gain care and control of Baldwin Street; 
  • potential risks to on-street parking on Baldwin Street should the MTO decide they need to increase the traffic lanes on the highway; 
  • the impacts to the hamlet of Ashburn if Myrtle Road were to be widened; 
  • developers agreeing to development charges for the alternative route due to the importance of the route to Brooklin residents;
  • the impact of truck traffic on Downtown Brooklin; 
  • challenges encountered when working with the MTO; 
  • clarification that Mr. Mitchell does not own land identified along the proposed alternative routes; and, 
  • previous conversations that have taken place between the former Mayor and provincial government representatives.
  
  

6.2

Ronald Stevens, Resident (In-Person Attendance)

Re: PDE 11-23, Planning and Development (Engineering Services) Department Report

Highway 7/12 Alternative Route EA – Addition of Columbus Road (Country Lane to Lake Ridge Road) EA to Scope of Work

Refer to Item 8.5, PDE 11-23

Ronald Stevens, Resident, appeared before Council and indicated that constructing an alternative route through the Moraine may have an adverse impact on the wells used for drinking water in the area. Mr. Stevens advised that he understands the need for local control of Baldwin Street through Downtown Brooklin. He indicated that he made recommendations to the consultant responsible for the alternative route EA but that the recommendations have not been considered. Mr. Stevens indicated that correspondence had been sent to Council about the MTO's Connecting Links Program and that he felt that program should be explored in more detail. He suggested that the consultant and the Town should not be considering constructing a highway that would fall under provincial ownership. He noted that the parking spaces on Baldwin Street could be removed and vehicle parking could be routed to nearby municipal parking lots. Mr. Stevens suggested that Staff meet with the MTO and request that the MTO prohibit trucks on Baldwin Street and that trucks be routed to Thickson Road and Lake Ridge Road. He indicated that the long-term solution should be to extend Highway 412 to Lake Ridge Road. He suggested that the Development Charges allocated for the alternative route should be used to offset revenue shortfalls or to extend Highway 412 to Lake Ridge Road. 

A question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Mr. Stevens regarding:

• the importance of gaining local care and control over Baldwin Street and protecting the residents of Downtown Brooklin; 
• identifying alternative route F as an interim solution and considering the extension of Highway 412 to Lake Ridge Road as a long-term solution; and,
• whether the delegate could provide example use cases for the MTO's Connecting Links Program.

6.3

Kyle Douglas, Resident (In-Person Attendance)

Re: PDE 11-23, Planning and Development (Engineering Services) Department Report

Highway 7/12 Alternative Route EA – Addition of Columbus Road (Country Lane to Lake Ridge Road) EA to Scope of Work

Refer to Item 8.5, PDE 11-23

Kyle Douglas, Resident, appeared before Council and suggested that the EA is achieving diminishing returns, noting that the EA has exceeded its planned duration and initial scope. He advised that the EA has caused frustration in the community and recommended that Council refocus their efforts on matters that are more beneficial to the community. 

A question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Mr. Douglas regarding:

• the number of times the delegate has been engaged by the consultant as part of the EA process; 
• concerns about feedback provided to the consultant not being meaningfully considered; 
• concerns about recommendations stemming from the EA appearing firm and inflexible; and, 
• clarification that there has been a significant amount of public consultation, noting that those who are engaged are aware of the status of the EA.

6.4

Tom Newman, Resident (In-Person Attendance)

Re: PDE 11-23, Planning and Development (Engineering Services) Department Report

Highway 7/12 Alternative Route EA – Addition of Columbus Road (Country Lane to Lake Ridge Road) EA to Scope of Work

Refer to Item 8.5, PDE 11-23

Tom Newman, Resident, appeared before Council and indicated that the technically preferred alternative route travels across a portion of his property. He indicated that if the route were to proceed that it would have an impact on his family and business, however he understood the need for the alternative route considering the growth in Whitby and the province's focus on building homes. He advised that a route in the Moraine was not ideal. Mr. Newman stated that the economic impact of development is important and that he supports growth. 

A question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Mr. Newman regarding:

• whether the delegate supports completion of the EA; 
• improving commute times for residents living in Brooklin; and, 
• solutions that work in other municipalities that contain provincial highways. 

6.5

Andrea Ferguson Jones, Resident (Virtual Attendance)

Re: PDE 11-23, Planning and Development (Engineering Services) Department Report

Highway 7/12 Alternative Route EA – Addition of Columbus Road (Country Lane to Lake Ridge Road) EA to Scope of Work

Refer to Item 8.5, PDE 11-23

Andrea Ferguson Jones appeared before Council and indicated that she is in support of terminating the EA. She indicated that the scoring methodology to evaluate the alternative routes has not been shared with stakeholders. She stated that she felt that consultation has been inadequate, noting that many residents who are directly affected by the alternative routes found information through social media instead of direct notices. Ms. Ferguson Jones questioned the effectiveness of a past survey, which only presented alternative route options through the Moraine. She noted that there has not been engagement about the EA since 2021. She raised concerns about objections from the Township of Scugog and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and the lack of support for a route through the Moraine or any portion of Scugog. She stated that it was unclear if the technically preferred route was viable. 

A question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Ms. Ferguson Jones regarding:

• the challenges with Council recommending a route outside of the Moraine if the EA identifies a preferred route in the Moraine; 
• conducting a better scoped EA in the future and clarifying from the outset that a route in the Moraine is not acceptable;
• whether or not the delegate has reviewed EAs in the past where a preferred route is recommended and a different route endorsed by a decision making body; 
• concerns that the study team had a preferred route in mind and was not receptive to feedback from residents; and, 
• opportunities for the Region to become involved in evaluating a bypass for Downtown Brooklin in consideration of growth in the Region, shifting priorities, and overall Regional development.

6.6

Nellika Richardson, Resident (In-Person Attendance)

Re: PDE 11-23, Planning and Development (Engineering Services) Department Report

Highway 7/12 Alternative Route EA – Addition of Columbus Road (Country Lane to Lake Ridge Road) EA to Scope of Work

Refer to Item 8.5, PDE 11-23

Nellika Richardson, Resident, appeared before Council and stated that she supports the decision to terminate the EA. She noted concerns about escalating costs associated with the project and the availability of existing roads that could function as a bypass. She indicated that the preferred route identified by the consultant appears inflexible. 

A brief question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Ms. Richardson regarding consideration of other solutions that are not included in the scope of the EA.

6.7

Derrick Gleed, Resident (In-Person Attendance)

Re: PDE 11-23, Planning and Development (Engineering Services) Department Report

Highway 7/12 Alternative Route EA – Addition of Columbus Road (Country Lane to Lake Ridge Road) EA to Scope of Work

Refer to Item 8.5, PDE 11-23 

Derrick Gleed, Resident, appeared before Council and indicating that other bypass routes, including Brawley Road were considered in the past, however the cost of infrastructure works associated with these routes made them unrealistic. He stated that the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Town and the MTO supporting a bypass around Brooklin was a political commitment that is not necessarily supported by senior Staff at the MTO. He stated that re-establishing a dialogue with the MTO was important, noting that conversations should take place between senior Staff and involve Staff from the Region of Durham. He advised that the scope of the project has evolved since it started, indicating that new development areas and a potential hospital have made the alternative route a Regional issue. Mr. Gleed noted that there has been significant development along Baldwin Street in Brooklin, despite the need for consultation with the MTO. He requested that Council terminate the EA and that Staff be directed to work with the MTO to find solutions for truck traffic on Baldwin Street and for an element of care and control over the highway. 

A question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Mr. Gleed regarding: 

• an early potential route for the bypass which bisected lands slated for development; 
• working with the MTO to continue to develop Downtown Brooklin; 
• deferring consideration of the matter to the fall to receive a report from Staff about the impacts of cancelling the EA; 
• the importance for the Town to send clear messaging to the Region to identify the need for a bypass as a growing Regional concern; 
• potential impacts of the Town identifying a technically viable alternative route and then requesting assistance from the Region; 
• interim solutions including constructing the mid-block arterial road in advance of development and improving the intersection of Baldwin Street and Thickson Road; 
• benefits of using existing infrastructure to serve as a bypass around Brooklin; and, 
• establishing a walkable community in Downtown Brooklin, noting that every healthy downtown relies on a level of vehicle traffic. 

6.8

Neil McPherson, Resident (In-Person Attendance)

Re: PDE 11-23, Planning and Development (Engineering Services) Department Report

Highway 7/12 Alternative Route EA – Addition of Columbus Road (Country Lane to Lake Ridge Road) EA to Scope of Work

Refer to Item 8.5, PDE 11-23 

Neil McPherson, Resident, appeared before Council and stated that the provincial highway in Downtown Brooklin limits what the Town can do to make the road safer for pedestrians and motorists. He indicated that there is a traffic problem in Brooklin and is concerned that terminating the EA will abandon some of the most constructive work to date to improve Downtown Brooklin. He advised that local control of the highway would allow the Town to undertake traffic calming and divert truck traffic. Mr. McPherson stated that the decision to terminate the EA was not broadly communicated to the residents of Brooklin and that many residents will not be aware of Council's decision. 

A brief question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Mr. McPherson whether the delegate was supportive of gaining more information about the impacts of terminating the EA prior to Council making a decision and if the delegate would support a property tax increase to construct the alternative route.

6.9

Stephen Jones, Resident (Virtual Attendance)

Re: PDE 11-23, Planning and Development (Engineering Services) Department Report

Highway 7/12 Alternative Route EA – Addition of Columbus Road (Country Lane to Lake Ridge Road) EA to Scope of Work

Refer to Item 8.5, PDE 11-23

Stephen Jones, Resident, appeared before Council and advised that the proposed bypass will adversely affect businesses in Downtown Brooklin. He indicated that the preferred alternative route travels through the Moraine and may not comply with applicable legislation and statutory requirements. He noted that the Township of Scugog remains opposed to a route through the Moraine. Mr. Jones stated that the EA has been delayed, noting that Community Open House 4 is nearly two years behind schedule. He indicated that the scope of the project has changed with the construction of Highway 412 and that he was in favour of terminating the EA.

Matthew Cory representing Brooklin North Landowners Group (In-Person Attendance)

Re: PDE 11-23, Planning and Development (Engineering Services) Department Report

Highway 7/12 Alternative Route EA – Addition of Columbus Road (Country Lane to Lake Ridge Road) EA to Scope of Work

Refer to Item 8.5, PDE 11-23 

Matthew Cory, representing the Brooklin North Landowners group, appeared before Council and indicated that the landowners that he represents have an interest in where a potential alternative route is located in Whitby. He noted that currently the MTO is working with landowners regarding setback requirements from Baldwin Street as they are aware of the potential for a future alternative route. He stated that if Baldwin Street remains a provincial highway, the required MTO setback from the highway will be problematic for development. He noted that identified growth areas in Brooklin may not be achievable due to MTO spacing requirements between intersections on their highways. He advised that the landowners are partners with the Town, they supported the Town obtaining the MoU, and they are interested in knowing Council's direction as soon as possible. Mr. Cory noted that realigning a bypass in the northeast portion of the community will be problematic as it would require replanning, which would need to be completed immediately. 

A question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Mr. Cory regarding:

• confirmation that the landowners are willing to partner with the Town to identify a solution and path forward as soon as possible; 
• the need to develop a bypass in some form in consideration of MTO setback and intersection spacing requirements; 
• clarification about the impact of terminating the EA for the development industry; 
• maintaining the integrity of the Brooklin Secondary Plan by quickly identifying a solution; and, 
• impacts to density targets and the overall yield of housing units if the current MTO setbacks are required on Baldwin Street.

• Moved by Councillor Shahid
  Seconded by Councillor Lee

  That in accordance with the Town's Procedure By-law, the Council meeting continue to go past 11:00 p.m.

  Carried

  The question and answer period between Members of Council and Mr. Cory continued regarding:

  • the provincial government's focus on building housing and engaging with the province to find solutions to allow development in closer proximity to Baldwin Street; 
  • the mandate of the MTO to maintain infrastructure for future growth; 
  • entering into a dialogue between the landowners groups and the MTO to look at solutions that support growth and development; and, 
  • the need for a secondary plan around the future hospital site, evaluating the Regional road network, and engaging with the Region on broader transportation discussions.

  It was the consensus of Council to hear Item 6.13, delegation by Matthew Cory, representing the Brooklin North Landowners Group regarding CMS 06-23, Community Services Department Report re: Bill 23 Parkland Dedication Framework, at this time.

  
  

6.11

Len Butticci, Resident (In-Person Attendance)

Re: PDE 11-23, Planning and Development (Engineering Services) Department Report

Highway 7/12 Alternative Route EA – Addition of Columbus Road (Country Lane to Lake Ridge Road) EA to Scope of Work

Refer to Item 8.5, PDE 11-23

Len Butticci, Resident, appeared before Council and stated that the EA is growing in scope and that it is becoming a poor financial decision. He recommended that development charges associated with the project be moved to other projects. He stated that the EA should be terminated immediately, without receiving information from Staff on the potential impacts of the termination. 

A brief question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Mr. Butticci regarding the perception that feedback provided to the consultant had not been meaningfully considered.

6.12

Mike Pettigrew representing Brooklin South Landowners Group (Virtual Attendance)

Re: CMS 06-23, Community Services Department Report

Bill 23 Parkland Dedication Framework

Refer to Item 9.3, CMS 06-23

Mike Pettigrew, representing the Brooklin South Landowners Group appeared before Council and indicated that the owners in the area who participate in the Brooklin South Landowners Group are willing to provide parkland dedication to meet the requirements of the Brooklin Secondary Plan. Mr. Pettigrew noted that he would recommend that Council direct Staff to work with the landowners to develop a master parks agreement and to further discuss park needs. 

A brief question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Mr. Pettigrew clarifying that the parkland dedication proposed by the participating landowners exceeds the requirements of Bill 23 and the Town's Official Plan, and that the landowners would work with Staff to locate parks adjacent to open space where possible to maximize available recreational lands.

• Moved by Councillor Shahid

Bill Rourke, Whitby Minor Baseball Association (In-Person Attendance)

Re: CMS 06-23, Community Services Department Report

Bill 23 Parkland Dedication Framework

Refer to Item 9.3, CMS 06-23

Bill Rourke, Whitby Minor Baseball Association, appeared before Council and indicated that he is supportive of the development of Sports Field Parks in Whitby. He noted that more baseball diamonds are needed in the community, including larger sized diamonds that can support teenagers and young adults playing baseball. He indicated that a Sports Field Park would be beneficial as it would allow for tournament play with parking and facilities to support visiting teams from outside of Whitby. Mr. Rourke noted that maintenance, including grooming of infields is simplified when a central location with multiple diamonds is available. 

A question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Mr. Rourke regarding: 

• enrollment in the Whitby Minor Baseball Association; 
• confirmation that a lack of diamonds in Whitby presents a larger challenge with each passing season; 
• the mandate of the Association to support as many children and youth playing baseball as possible; 
• attempts to reduce travel distances for participants through careful scheduling of games; 
• ensuring that children and youth are not excluded from participating due to large travel distances to games and practices; and, 
• confirmation that there are limited diamonds in Whitby to support adult baseball.

The delegates highlighted growing enrollment in the Whitby Cricket Association and noted that demand is year round, with indoor play occurring in the winter in the soccer domes on Rossland Road. 

A brief question and answer period ensued between Members of Council, Mr. Singh, and Mr. Singla regarding the amount of land needed for a permanent cricket pitch, challenges associated with the field quality of temporary cricket pitches, and the importance of high-quality pitching surfaces.

Vera Felgemacher, Resident (In-Person Attendance)

Re: FES 04-23, Fire and Emergency Services Department Report        
Report and Recommendations of Changes to the By-law to Regulate the Sales and Discharge of Fireworks

Refer to Item 9.10, FES 04-23

Vera Felgemacher, Resident, appeared before Council and indicated that she is in support of a ban on consumer fireworks. She advised that there are alternatives to traditional fireworks including noiseless fireworks and drone displays. Ms. Felgemacher noted that dogs may perceive the noise from fireworks as a threat, activating their fight or flight response, which can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder and injuries. She noted that the overarching goal of animal welfare legislation is to protect animals and permitting consumer fireworks in the Town is contrary to the goals of that legislation. Ms. Felgemacher concluded her delegation highlighting the types of injuries that animals may suffer as a result of fear responses to fireworks.
