11. SERVICING ALLOCATION UPDATE (5.5)
Presentation Report Attachment
A Attachment
B Attachment
C
Jamie Bosomworth, Manager, Strategy
and Innovation gave a presentation and update regarding servicing allocation.
The Town has been distributing serving allocation for residential development
since 1996 and on a yearly basis for the past four years. The distribution is
determined through a ranking system and Council approved criteria.
Mr. Bosomworth discussed the Regional conditional 2013 allocation
protocol and advised that the interim York Durham Sewage System (YDSS) flow
control structure and the doubling of Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control
Plant projects have been completed; however, the south east collector sanitary
trunk sewer is expected to be completed by mid-2014. The Region is proposing to
adjust the allocation, subject to Council resolution endorsing conditions.
Staff reviewed the Region’s conditions including support of the
low-density Sustainable Home Incentive Program (SHIP). Staff are recommending
endorsement of the Region’s conditions. An update on the
Inflow/Infiltration Task Force will be presented to Council on January 25,
2011, and a follow-up staff report will be provided in February.
Using Council approved protocol for distribution, Staff identified the
proposed distribution of the 2013 allocation, using all of 11,259 people
available to Markham. Staff are proposing an exchange of high density
“existing” allocation for 2013 allocation, freeing up “existing” allocation for
low density developments, pending written release from the Region.
The Committee discussed the SHIP program, voluntary vs. mandatory
participation by the developers. Staff will be reporting further on this
program.
Markham must ensure that developments with application move through the
development process in a timely manner; that there is an appropriate balance of
low and high density projects to meet demands; and that there are sufficient Development
Charges and fee revenues generated to fund capital and operating budgets. The
Region must ensure that sufficient allocation is available in future years to
meet Markham’s five-year development activity.
Existing and proposed allocation distribution was illustrated in the
presentation.
Moved by Regional Councillor Gord Landon
Seconded by Councillor Alex Chiu
1) That the January 18, 2011 report entitled “Servicing
Allocation Update” be received; and,
2) That Council redistribute “existing” allocation as noted in
Table 1; and,
3) That Council endorse the following Regional conditions for
distribution of the 2013 servicing allocation:
A. In partnership with the Region, agree to determine what
constitutes adequate funding and resources to support the reduction of inflow
and infiltration (I/I) into wastewater systems with the objective of generating
I/I reduction within existing local and Regional systems by:
a. Actively participating in a Regional I/I Task Force
b. Continuing to seek out the sources of I/I
c. Adopting standards and guidelines intended to reduce I/I in new
developments and within existing systems, and
d. Developing funding and cost sharing principles to address future
remediation projects;
B. Continue to support Regional water efficiency plans and
policies;
C. Endorse and promote participation in both the Sustainable Development
Through LEED program for high density residential development and Sustainable
Homes Incentive Program (SHIP) for ground related residential development; and,
4) That Council distribute 2013 conditional servicing
allocation as noted in Table 2 and shown in detail in Attachment “A” to this
report; and,
5) That Council endorse the conditions for the distribution
of 2013 conditional allocation as
identified in Table 4; and,
6) That Council authorize the exchange of “existing” high
density allocation for 2013 “conditional” allocation to free up “existing”
allocation for use by low density developments as shown in Table 5, subject to
the Town receiving notice from the Region of York releasing high density
developments with 2013 servicing allocation for building permits and subject to
the Town’s Chief Building Official approval; and,
7) That Council endorse the Sustainable Home Incentive Program
(SHIP) for ground related residential development to accommodate those
developments that wish to voluntarily abide by such program; and,
8) That the written submissions regarding servicing allocation,
included in Attachment “C“, be received; and further,
9) That Staff be authorized and directed to do all things
necessary to give effect to this resolution.
