2. REVIEW OF PARKLAND DEDICATION BY-LAW
POLICIES AND PRACTICES (10.0)
Presentation
Jim Baird, Commissioner of Development Services, introduced
this matter and discussed the comprehensive review of Parkland Policies as part
of the new Official Plan exercise.
Tom Villella, Senior Project
Coordinator, provided a brief overview of the review to date and key issues,
and introduced consultant Ron Palmer of the Planning Partnership. Staff have
provided draft by-laws and polices for discussion purposes. A final report will
be presented at a future date, following public consultation.
Mr. Palmer gave a presentation regarding the review of the Parkland
Dedication By-law and policies and practices, explaining the purpose, the
background, the importance of the public realm, key conclusions and
observations, and recommendations relating to: basic parkland conveyance
requirements; reductions to parkland conveyance for apartments; proposed sequential/cumulative
reductions for high density residential development; other reductions to
conveyance requirements; waiving parkland conveyance; credits; cash-in-lieu;
determination of value for cash-in-lieu;
lands acceptable/not acceptable for conveyance; and administration. The new
approach to parkland conveyance is considered both fair and justifiable.
The Committee discussed the following issues:
-
density incentives
-
parkland dedication for municipal
and public (School Board) properties
-
a shortage of parkland was noted
for the Thornhill district
-
the proposed parkland reduction
would only be applied to specific high-density areas
-
the polices would provide improvement
to areas with deficiencies in parkland
-
a comparison of the ratios for
neighbouring municipalities, included in the consultant’s report, indicates
there is no consistency across the GTA. An illustration of Markham’s standing
in the comparison will be prepared.
-
balancing the quality of life for
residents with the need to attract developers
-
developing a hierarchy of
parklands
-
cash-in-lieu funds can be used for
parkland acquisition anywhere in Markham
-
a scenario will be prepared for
the sample apartment building, to illustrate the quantitative contributions as
the density increases
-
BILD believes that seeking the
maximum ratio contribution permitted by the Planning Act would
require the municipality to demonstrate justification
-
storm-water management lands
acceptable for parklands would only include dry ponds or other appropriate
sites
-
consideration of affordable
development ratios
-
the preferred option is provision
of parkland on site, where feasible
Staff summarized that it is intended that the ratio
currently employed will be maintained, except for specific high-density areas
where a sliding-scale reduction would be used. The proposed new parks standards
will be included in an upcoming Public Meeting for the new Official Plan.
It was recommended that another report and discussion
be held on financial impacts. A visual for land areas was requested.
Tupper Wheatley, representing the Boyington Heights
Ratepayers, made a deputation and provided a written copy. He suggested that
the Rouge Park not be included in acquired parkland calculations. Mr. Wheatley
provided comments on the calculations for higher density developments.
Karen Rea made a deputation and spoke of the need for open
space for apartments and condo units. Ms. Rea questioned the FSI calculations
and requested a copy of the report attachments.
Donna Bush made a deputation stating she did not
support the proposed policies and did not support any reduction of costs for
developers.
The Committee responded to comments and discussed growth
needs and efforts to ensure the parkland standards of Markham are not diminished.
It was noted that this review is ongoing.
Moved by: Deputy Mayor Jack Heath
Seconded by: Councillor Carolina Moretti
1) That the presentation provided by Ron Palmer, The Planning
Partnership entitled "Review of Parkland Dedication By-law, Policies and
Practices" be received; and,

Dedication By-law, Policies and Practices, be received.

the memo entitled “Update on the Review of Parkland Dedication By-Law, Policies
and Practices”, immediately following the presentation.
3. METROLINX - BIG MOVE UPDATE (5.0)
Presentation Draft
Resolution
Alan Brown, Director of Engineering, gave a update regarding
Metrolinx’s 25-year Transportation Plan for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton
Area, adopted in 2008. Current projects and New Wave projects to 2031 were
reviewed. The presentation included the MTSP recommended transit service and
the status of various transit projects.
Concerns have been identified that the transit infrastructure is not
keeping pace with growth and demand, and is approximately 20 years behind,
leading to traffic congestions and poor service levels. The draft Metrolinx Investment
Strategy is anticipated by Spring 2013.
Staff will finalize the road network in the area and report back to Committee
in June 2013. Staff will also update the MTSP Transit Plan to 2031, and will continue
to work with the Region and Metrolinx to provide a transit system to
accommodate growth to 2031. A staff report will be prepared regarding
transportation implications and draft Official Plan policy regarding phasing
and phasing options.
The Committee discussed the timing for completion of
the Yonge Subway extension and Highway 7 BRT, and commented on the potential impact
of the Gardner Expressway on the Metrolinx priorities. It was noted that alternate
solutions such as TDM measures and the I-Metro-E proposal are needed. Discussions
included creating a strategy with York Region, and Markham taking the lead in
planning the services.
The Committee noted the importance of Markham expressing
its extreme concern regarding the synchronization of the transit projects with
growth and demand. The Mayor was requested to send a letter, along with the
Committee’s resolution, to political representatives. It was also requested
that Metrolinx attend the Committee with a presentation in the near future.
Moved by: Deputy Mayor Jack Heath
Seconded by: Regional Councillor Jim Jones
1) That the presentation provided by Mr. Alan Brown, Director
of Engineering entitled "Metrolinx - Big Move Update" be received;
and,
2) That Metrolinx be
requested to deliver a more specific and timely transit implementation and funding
strategy that provides the necessary transit infrastructure to accommodate
growth to 2031: and,
3) That staff work with
Region of York and Metrolinx to provide an updated transit plan to accommodate
growth to 2031; and,
4) That staff report back following
discussions with York Region as to opportunities to advance the design of the
Yonge Subway; and,
5) That Bruce McCuaig,
President and C.E.O., Metrolinx, and Bill Fisch, York Regional Chair be advised
accordingly, and,
6) That the
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program continue; and further,
7) That Mayor Frank Scarpitti
send a letter with this resolution to the leaders of the Liberal, Conservative,
and New Democrat Parties at the Provincial and Federal levels, and Markham MPs
and MPP.

4. ROUGE NATIONAL PARK
OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES (10.0)
Presentation Additional
Information
Jim Robb, General Manager, Friends of the Rouge
Watershed, gave a presentation entitled "Rouge National Park -
Opportunities and Challenges". Mr. Robb spoke of the evolution of Rouge
Park and the national significant historical sites, the agricultural preserve,
the Greenbelt Plan, the local ecological context, and the TRCA Rouge Watershed
Plan. Mr. Robb identified three key issues – expansion of study area; balancing
agricultural, public, and watershed interests; and the type of recreational
uses permitted.
Discussions included the policy regimes that regulate
the Rouge Park, and the potential land expansion for the RNUP study area up to
100 km2 to include federal lands in the greenbelt and Oak Ridges
Moraine in Pickering.
Staff will be providing a comprehensive report on this
matter in the near future and will include the issues raised in the presentation.
Kim Empringham, representing the York Federation of
Agriculture and speaking on behalf of the farmers in the Rouge Park, discussed land
areas and protection/enhancement of the lands. Concern was expressed for the
inclusion of agricultural land in the Natural Heritage Action Plan 2008, as outlined
in Mr. Robb’s presentation, and the implication that agricultural land is less
important than the natural environment. The concern is that the focus on
ecological aspects may result in reforestation of agricultural lands. Ms. Empringham
intends to continue a dialogue on this issue with Markham, and will make a
written submission.
Tupper Wheatley made a brief deputation in support of
the presentation by Mr. Robb, and urged a balanced approach.
Moved by: Councillor Valerie Burke
Seconded by: Deputy Mayor Jack Heath
1) That the presentation provided by Mr. Jim Robb, General
Manager, Friends of the Rouge Watershed entitled "Rouge National Park -
Opportunities and Challenges" be received and referred
back to staff and Agricultural Committee; and,
2) That the deputations by Kim Empringham,
representing the York Federation of Agriculture, and Tupper Wheatley, regarding

cladding.
