RES.#B171/08 - Moved by: Seconded by: PRESENTATIONS Suzan Hall Ron Moeser THAT above-noted presentation (a) be heard and received. CARRIED SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION RES.#B172/08 - Moved by: Seconded by: EARTH RANGERS FOUNDATION Request for Lease Amendment, CFN 31514. The Earth Rangers Foundation has requested the leased area be amended. Jack Heath Suzan Hall THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS The Earth Rangers Foundation (Earth Rangers) entered into a lease of certain lands within the Kortright Centre for Conservation, City of Vaughan, with Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) for the construction and operation of a wildlife veterinary and rehabilitation centre; WHEREAS TRCA is in receipt of a request from Earth Rangers to amend the leased area. THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the leased area be amended as follows: (1) add 2,949 square metres to the leased area as shown on the survey sketch prepared by MMM Group dated December, 2008; (2) delete 3,907 square metres from the leased area as shown on the survey sketch prepared by MMM Group dated December, 2008; THAT Earth Rangers be responsible for all costs related to amending the lease; THAT an archaeological review is to be completed at the expense of Earth Rangers with any mitigative measures being carried out to the satisfaction of TRCA; THAT the granting of the lease be subject to any Planning Act approvals that may be required; THAT the granting of the lease be 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; 1069

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take whatever action may be required to implement the lease amendment, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the signing and execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #6/01, held on July 27, 2001, under Resolution #A139/01, the Authority directed staff to enter into a lease of certain lands within the Kortright Centre for Conservation, City of Vaughan, with The Earth Rangers Foundation for the construction and operation of a wildlife veterinary and rehabilitation centre. The lease was signed on August 1, 2001. At Authority Meeting #6/02, held on June 21, 2002, under Resolution #A153/02, the Authority approved the building, site plan and trail plan associated with the Earth Ranger Centre (ERC). The Earth Rangers Foundation completed the construction of the ERC and veterinarian residence in 2004 and began operations. The ERC building is a landmark in Canada for energy efficiency and has been recognized for outstanding leadership and design related to sustainable energy practices. In May of 2006, the Earth Rangers Centre received a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold designation from the Canada Green Building Council. The Earth Rangers mission is to inspire children with a lasting passion to build a better future. In order to achieve this they are focusing on three areas: school programs featuring Animal Ambassadors (features non-releasable animals), outdoor leadership camps and environmental technologies at the ERC. In the Fall of 2006, The Earth Rangers Foundation decided to transfer their wildlife hospital to the Toronto Wildlife Centre and focus the ERC programs on living responsibly and transforming the ERC into a showcase for sustainable technologies and practices. The ERC will continue to house their Animal Ambassadors and provide educational opportunities. At Authority Meeting #1/07, held on February 23, 2007, under Resolution #A17/07, staff was directed to submit a bid to the World Green Building Council to develop and support a Secretariat to be located in The Living City Campus at Kortright. TRCA's bid was successful. As part of the efforts to transform the ERC, The Earth Rangers Foundation agreed to lease approximately 4,200 square feet of the ERC to the World Green Building Council, to support a Secretariat. Earth Rangers programming has grown to the point where their parking is no longer adequate and TRCA is in receipt of a request to increase the size of their parking lot. As a result, it is proposed that 2,949 square metres be added to their current leased area. In exchange, Earth Rangers is prepared to remove 3,907 square metres from the leased area as shown on the attached sketch. The parking lot will be enhanced with a ground source heat pump loop, four 10kw solar photovoltaic trackers and the surface will be permeable pavers. The design will minimize tree and earth removal. A tree relocation and replacement plan will be prepared to the satisfaction of TRCA. The Humber Watershed Alliance, at its meeting held on October 21, 2008, adopted resolution #G45/08 as follows supporting the proposed parking lot expansion: 1070

THAT the Humber Watershed Alliance members support the proposal by Mr. Schad to expand the parking facility at Earth Rangers, in a northerly direction, by 1,500 square metres in exchange for 4,500 square metres of TRCA land which will be removed from the existing lease agreement; THAT solar panels be installed in the parking lot to generate education opportunities and energy which will be used in the Earth Rangers facility; THAT permeable pavement be used in the parking lot as a preferred sustainable building practice; THAT replanting and landscaping be undertaken in all disturbed areas to the satisfaction of TRCA; AND FURTHER THAT the expansion of geothermal heating at the facility be endorsed to further reduce heating and cooling costs. FINANCIAL DETAILS Earth Rangers is responsible for all costs related to amending the leased area and for all the construction, planting compensation and maintenance costs related to the expanded parking lot. All terms and conditions of the 2001 lease, including rent, remain unchanged.

RES.#B173/08 - Moved by: Seconded by: SOCCER FIELDS Bruce's Mill Conservation Area Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, CFN 31698. Request from the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville to extend the existing lease for soccer fields located within the Bruce s Mill Conservation Area, south of Stouffville Sideroad, east of Warden Avenue, Rouge River watershed, in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, Regional Municipality of York. Jack Heath Reenga Mathivanan THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville has requested an additional extension to the lease for soccer fields within the Bruce s Mill Conservation Area, south of Stouffville Sideroad and east of Warden Avenue; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the lease with the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville for soccer fields at Bruce's Mill Conservation Area be extended until December 31, 2010; AND FURTHER THAT authorized officials be directed to take whatever action is necessary to finalize the lease extension, including the obtaining of any approvals and signing and execution of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #2/07, held on March 30, 2007, Resolution #A46/07 was approved as follows: THAT WHEREAS the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville has requested an additional extension to the lease for soccer fields within the Bruce s Mill Conservation Area, south of Stouffville Sideroad and east of Warden Avenue; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the existing lease be extended for an additional 2 year period; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action is necessary to finalize the transaction, including the obtaining of any approvals and signing and execution of documents. In 2001, TRCA entered into a lease for a three year period with the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville for the use of a parcel of land in the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area for four mini-soccer fields. In 2003 the lease was extended for an additional 3 year period and in 2007 the lease was extended for an additional 2 years. 1073

The master plan for Bruce's Mill Conservation Area was initiated in 2004 and it is anticipated that it will be completed early this year. The soccer fields are located in an area that has been designated as a public use zone in the draft master plan. The public use management zone allows for recreational and educational uses, facilities or services and may accommodate low, moderate or high intensity public use. Through the Public Use and Recreation Plan component of the draft master plan, the site is further designated to be used as an active, nature-based recreation area. The intent is to use these open fields on the west side of the property for an active recreational use, such as a campground, equestrian facility, bike facility, etc.. No specific opportunity or use has yet been specified. Given that the eventual plan for this area is conversion to a larger, active use area, staff is recommending that the period of the extension be kept to a minimum. Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville staff has requested an extension until December 31, 2010. A map showing the lands subject to this proposal is attached. FINANCIAL DETAILS The lease rate for 2008 was $6,300. Staff is proposing a lease rate of $6,500 for the first year of the extension and $6,700 for the second year.

CFN: 41150 - Application #: 598/08/BRAM Report Prepared by: Jason Wagler, extension 5743 For information contact: Quentin Hanchard, extension 5324 Date: January 7, 2009 8.1.2 WOOD-HAVEN HOMES INC. To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure on Lot 118, Plan 43M-1778, (26 Scotchmere Crescent), in the City of Brampton, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Wood-Haven Homes Incorporated. The purpose is to undertake works in a TRCA Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a 274.05 square metre (2,950 sq. ft.) single family dwelling associated with a minor variance application and building permit. The permit will be issued for the period of January 16, 2009 to January 15, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: Sheet No. 118, Siting and Grading Plan, prepared by Hunt Design Associates Inc., dated September 5, 2008, stamped received by TRCA Planning& Development staff on December 12, 2008. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose is to undertake works in a TRCA Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a 274.05 square metre (2,950 sq. ft.) single family dwelling located at 26 Scotchmere Crescent, in the City of Brampton. The subject property is located within an approved residential subdivision (Plan 43M-1778 - Riverstone Phase II) for which a TRCA permit was previously issued (Permit #C06-625). This previous permit was for the subdivision grading and infrastructure works only and not for the construction of the dwelling associated with this application. The implementing Zoning By-law for the subject property requires a 7.5 metre (24.61 ft.) structural setback for all buildings and structures adjacent to the buffer block and valleylands to the rear of the subject property. As requested 1083

through an associated Minor Variance Application (City File #A08-207), a 7.0 metre (22.96 ft.) setback is proposed to the adjacent buffer block at the rear of the subject property. Though the 0.5 metre setback is considered by TRCA staff to be minor in nature in this instance, a new permit is required as the requested setback differs from the agreed setback outlined in both the previous permit and the implementing Zoning By-law. There are no geotechnical, ecology, or flooding concerns associated with this application. This application is considered to be one of three separate applications currently on the January 16, 2009 TRCA Executive Committee agenda (i.e., CFN 41769 and CFN 41770). Control of Flooding: TRCA staff has confirmed that the proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, no impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls (i.e., silt fence) have been proposed with this application, and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: No geotechnical concerns are anticipated with this proposal. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. There are no fisheries related concerns associated with this project. Plantings As no significant vegetation is being removed, enhancement plantings are not required. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is in conformity with Section 4.1.1 - New Urban Development - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Plan (VSCMP).

To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure on Lot 117, Plan 43M-1778, (28 Scotchmere Crescent (Lot #117, R.P. 43M-1778)), in the City of Brampton, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Wood-Haven Homes Incorporated. The purpose is to undertake works in a TRCA Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a 282.80 square metre (3,044 sq. ft.) single family dwelling associated with a minor variance application and building permit. The permit will be issued for the period of January 16, 2009 to January 15, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: Sheet No. 117, Siting and Grading Plan, prepared by Hunt Design Associates Inc., dated September 5, 2008, stamped received by TRCA Planning& Development staff on December 12, 2008. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose is to undertake works in a TRCA Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a 282.80 square metre (3, 044 sq. ft.) single family dwelling located at 28 Scotchmere Crescent, in the City of Brampton. The subject property is located within an approved Plan of Subdivision (Plan 43M-1778 Riverstone Phase II) for which a TRCA permit was previously issued (Permit #C06-625). The previous permit was associated with the subdivision grading and infrastructure works and did not include the construction of the proposed dwelling associated with this application. The implementing Zoning By-law for the subject property requires a 7.5 (24.61 ft.) metre structural setback for all buildings and structures adjacent to the buffer block and valleylands to the rear of the subject property. As requested through an associated Minor Variance Application, a 7.0 (22.96 ft.) metre setback is proposed to the adjacent buffer block at the rear of the property. Though the 0.5 metre 1086

setback is considered by staff to be minor in nature in this instance, a permit is required as the requested setback differs from the agreed setback outlined in both the previous permit and the implementing Zoning By-law. There are no geotechnical, ecology, or flooding concerns associated with this application. This application is 1 of 3 similar applications (i.e., CFN 41769 and CFN 41768).
