1.         MARKHAM CENTRE AND WARD 3
            - POPULATION PROJECTIONS AND IMPLICATIONS (10.0)

            Presentation  Memo

 

Peter Miasek, President, Unionville Ratepayers Association, and Harry Eaglesham gave a presentation on the URS Assessment of Markham Centre and Ward 3 population projections and implications. The analysis method, findings, and conclusions were reviewed.

 

The URA suggests that development in Markham Centre and in Markham in general will create unacceptable congestion in the near future. Although the City has concluded that the projected 2031 level of development can be accommodated with transportation improvements, the URA projects that population growth will be more aggressive than anticipated, and improvements will be needed by 2023. The URA recommends additional strategic transportation improvements: advancing the Markham Centre Mobility Hub/East Precinct Plan/MC Secondary Plan; reviewing the pace of other infrastructure such as schools; considering implementation of  caps or holds; and, conducting an employment count analysis.

 

Jim Baird, Commissioner of Development Services, addressed the staff memo responding to the URA presentation, advising that the 2009 figures were forecasts only. While planning applications are trending towards higher density than forecast, the units still have to be built, and the market is cyclical. Improvements within the City’s control – roads and VIVA – have been advancing, and the mobility hub study may encourage the province to provide a funding commitment for infrastructure. The use of Hold provisions could be considered in the Secondary Plan discussion.

 

In response to the staff memo, Mr. Miasek suggested that the Markham Center Secondary Plan should be accelerated and should include employment forecasts as well as establishing milestones and a comprehensive development phasing plan. The URA also recommends that the residents be fully involved in the development of Markham Centre. The Committee suggested that basement apartments be added to the URA calculations.

 

The Committee expressed concern for traffic congestion and requested that staff follow up on the URA presentation.  Staff outlined the next steps of the mobility hub study followed by updating transportation studies and developing a new Secondary Plan.

 

The Committee discussed encouraging residents to use transit, the City’s efforts to build transit-oriented development, working with developers to create the transit hub, and the need for the province to provide the tools and infrastructure to accommodate mandated growth.

 

The Committee expressed appreciated to the URA for their deputation and research.

2.         TRANSCANADA PIPELINES (10.0)

            Presentation

 

Mark Mulder, Manager, Pipeline Projects, TransCanada, gave a presentation on the proposed expansion of the TransCanada Pipeline in Markham. Other representatives were also in attendance:

  -   Janice Badgley, Senior Community Relations Advisor

  -   Brian MacDonnell, Senior Land Representative

  -   Sharan Kaur, External Communications Specialist

  -   Adrienne Fournier – Associate, Community Relations

 

Mr. Mulder provided an overview of TransCanada’s proposed Canadian Mainline Natural Gas Pipeline expansion, being 370 km in length between Markham and the community of Iroquois in South Dundas Township. The pipeline is regulated by the National Energy Board (NEB).

 

The expansion involves adding a third pipe, 36 inches in diameter, beside two existing pipes. Additional right-of-way is required from Warden Avenue between Elgin and 19th Avenue, to beyond the east boundary of Markham. The expansion involves easement agreements with 1300 landowners who will be compensated at appraised market value for any encumbered lands, and for any land used during construction. The project began in December, 2013, and is at the environmental and engineering field work phase. Two rounds of Community Open Houses will be held, and construction anticipated to commence in 2016, pending approval.

 

Mr. Mulder responded to questions regarding other pipelines in Markham, the composition of the pipe, the Environmental Assessment, protection of wildlife, mitigation of invasive species, and impacts to Rouge Park. Mr. Mulder confirmed that Markham does not own any of the subject lands, that emergency response plans have been prepared, and that roads and pathways can cross over the pipelines.

8.         CITY OF MARKHAM OFFICIAL PLAN 2013:
            PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS - SUPPLEMENTAL (10.0)

            Report

 

Jim Baird, Commissioner of Development Services introduced this matter as a follow-up to previous Committee discussions regarding Markham Airport. The Committee was provided with correspondence from John Mascarin, representing Markham Airport, with requested wording amendments.

 

Marg Wouters, Senior Manager, Policy & Research, clarified the proposed Official Plan designation and Council’s position that the existing airport be recognized, and that Markham be kept informed of any changes, while recognizing that airports are federally regulated. Staff advised that the facility is a registered aerodrome and is not a certified airport; however, the terms ‘aerodrome’ and ‘airport’ are used interchangeably and Transport Canada identifies the facility as Toronto Markham Airport.

 

The Committee reviewed the correspondence and suggested the facility be identified as a “registered aerodrome”. It was recommended that the wording of “not supporting expansion” could be retained as a statement of Council’s position but would not impact the decisions of other levels of government. The Committee discussed Markham’s interest and authority in the facility.

 

Alan Rubin, representing the Toronto Markham Airport, gave a brief history of the airport and potential future.

 

Dave McKennitt, representing the Dickson Hill Hamlet and Neighbourhood Community Association, gave a PowerPoint presentation, identifying concerns for the impacts of the airport on neighbouring properties and the City’s liability. Mr. McKennitt displayed aerial photos demonstrating the evolution of the operations and land fill conditions of the airport lands, and the impacts on surrounding properties and the watercourse. Mr. McKennitt suggested extensive rehabilitation is required and requested documents to contain wording that would:

- Establish responsibility and a timeline for rehabilitation of approximately 100 acres of farmland

- Ensure existing zoning does not change

- Ensure that all remedial activities meet or exceed federal, provincial and municipal environmental standards and guidelines

- Ensure that operational guidelines are enforced, to contain and clean up all contamination while the Markham Airport is operating and when it is decommissioned.

 

Mr. McKennitt also commented on past presentations to the City and discussions with the Manager of By-law Enforcement in this regard, without a satisfactory outcome. He requested assistance from City staff to substantiate the aerial photos from the presentation.

 

The Committee referred to a newspaper article in 2009 that quotes the Manager of By-law Enforcement with respect to site alteration permits and Stop Work Orders, and requested that By-law Enforcement and Legal staff provide an update on this matter.

 

Moved by: Mayor Frank Scarpitti

Seconded by: Councillor Colin Campbell

be adopted; and,

9.         PROPOSED THORNHILL PARK IMPROVEMENTS

            Report

 

Rino Mostacci, Director of Planning and Urban Design, provided an overview of the Section 37 funds from World on Yonge and advised of the recommendations of the Thornhill Subcommittee in consultation with the community. The Director reviewed the budget proposal and advised that the School Board has agreed to a cost-sharing agreement for the equipment at E J Sands School.

 

Richard Mashregi, representing the Grandview Area Residents Association and the Ward One South Residents Association Inc., spoke in support of the proposal, discussing Section 37 policies, the World on Yonge development, the allocation of $2,000,000 for community amenities, and the list of projects endorsed by Council on September 17, 2013. Mr. Mashregi noted a Committee member’s objection to the play equipment being located on the EJ Sands school property, as the general public would not be allowed access to this play area during school hours. The Commissioner of Community Services advised that the City and school will enter into an access agreement that will address this issue.

 

Mr. Mashregi responded to questions from the Committee regarding public consultation. The Committee requested a copy of the ratepayers’ advertising notices.
