EX4.1DELEGATIONSSubmission by Mr. Ross Vaughan, agent for Rob and Renata Ford, speaking in regard to item EX8.1 - Request for Disposal of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority-owned Land

Friday June 1st

, 2012

Chair and Members of the Executive Committee

Good Morning

Thank you for the opportunity to speak once again, to this matter.

Rob and Renata recognize the mandate of, and support the important work, the TRCA does in preserving our natural resources.

They appreciate this committee’s choice at the last meeting to request a staff report to illuminate the various factors that you needed to consider before making a final decision today.

As they stated in their letter to you of April 27th

, 2012 their desire is to secure a greater level of security of their home for their children and themselves.

They have reviewed the staff report prepared for today’s meeting which includes comments from staff at the City of Toronto.

One item to correct in Toronto report is this property is at the rear of the building, as the front faces south toward the river. Rob and Renata are, as could be expected, disappointed with the conclusions reached in that report and not all decisions are agreeable to all parties in all cases.

Please consider that Toronto City Staff have indicated this is passive park land, too small and isolated from the rest of the park area to be used effectively for any recreational purpose.

They are hopeful that you, the members of this committee, will consider this aspect and respectfully request that the TRCA consider, and agree to the sale of this land

Thank you once again for your time and I am prepared to answer any additional questions you have to the best of my ability.

Item EX8.9 TO: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee

Meeting #4/12, June 1, 2012

FROM: Adele Freeman, Director, Watershed Management

RE: ALBION HILLS FIELD CENTRE PHASE 4 RETROFIT PROJECTContract PMO12-05

_____________________________________________________________________________KEY ISSUEAward of Contract PMO12-05 for exterior recladding, new windows and doors, and interior alterations at the Albion Hills Field Centre, Town of Caledon.

RECOMMENDATION

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Contract PMO12-05 for renovations to the exterior siding, windows and doors, and the construction of a new interior partition of the Albion Hills Field Centre be awarded to Vema Corp. Constructors at a cost not to exceed $325,000.00, plus HST, subject to receipt of all necessary approvals, permits and funding, it being the lowest bid meeting Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications;

THAT a contingency allowance of $65,000.00 to be expended as authorized by TRCA staff be approved;

THAT staff be authorized to direct Vema Corp. Constructors to proceed immediately, upon approval by the Executive Committee, with the supply and delivery of all windows and doors as part of the contract cost of $111,200.00, plus HST, to ensure the fabrication lead time will fall within the construction window of mid-June to late-September;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take such action as is necessary to implement the contract, including the signing and execution of documents.

BACKGROUNDConstructed in 1962, the Albion Hills Field Centre (AHFC) is an existing one and half storey residential environmental education field centre located at Albion Hills Conservation Area, north of the Village of Bolton. Set deep into the rolling topography of the Oak Ridges Moraine, the cedar and granite chalet-style building is equipped with bedrooms, washrooms, classrooms, offices, cafeteria, lounge, dining hall and commercial kitchen facilities.

177

As part of the Region of Peel's Climate Change Mitigation Program, TRCA engaged Montgomery Sisam Architects Ltd. to undertake a facility assessment and conceptual redesign of the AHFC. The purpose of the assessment and redesign program was to provide a framework for major renovations and system retrofits to improve the environmental performance of the building while supporting climate change and sustainability learning programs for visiting students. In February of 2008, Montgomery Sisam began the detailed architectural work for the complete retrofit and renovation of AHFC. In order to minimize disruption to student use throughout the school year, renovation and construction activities at AHFC are limited to mid-June through late-September. As such, the complete retrofit of the field centre is being phased over a number of years with entire segments of the building being completed in each phase.

Three phases of the retrofit have been completed and consisted of a new roof, electrical, mechanical and fire code upgrades, and a major kitchen renovation. The existing building envelope is reaching the end of its lifecycle and is the main focus for Phase 4 of the retrofit. The scope of work for Phase 4 consists of new exterior siding, the replacement of all the windows and doors, and a new interior partition between the cafeteria and lounge. To increase the R-Value (insulation value) of the building, an added spray foam layer will be applied before the new siding is installed and the new windows will be double glazed to improve the building temperature. The new interior partition has been designed as a solid structure with opaque glazing that will act as a sound barrier and still allow the transfer of light between the two rooms, thus improving the functionality of the AHFC programming. The AHFC will be shut down from June to September to accommodate the 2012 construction. This major facility upgrade and retrofit will significantly contribute to AHFC’s business sustainability and strengthen its position as an important environmental and sustainability education resource.

RATIONALERequest for Pre-Qualification (RFPQ) for general contractors was advertised on-line with biddingo.com on April 27, 2012 and closed on May 3, 2012. The work includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the supply of labour, material, supervision and equipment to perform the prescribed scope of work. The general contractor will coordinate all construction activities which will comprise of demolition; window installation; finish carpentry; drywall finisher; flooring; insulation; cladding; minor mechanical and electrical; and millwork.

General contractors interested in pre-qualifying were advised that the criteria for evaluation will include:

past experience in the renovation of older buildings of similar size;

past experience with the proposed scope of work;

ability to meet construction schedule milestones;

ability to coordinate work by others; and

experience dealing with projects with construction budgets of $500,000.00 to

$1,000,000.00.

Having previously pre-qualified the bidders qualifications, TRCA staff evaluated the tenders on the bid prices and the ability to complete the project within the specified construction window. TRCA staff reviewed the bids against its own cost estimates and has determined that the bids are of reasonable value with the exception of Struct-Con Construction Ltd.. As part of the bid submission, a separate cost for the supply and delivery of the windows and doors was requested to expedite the order to avoid any potential delays due to the high volume of window material orders during the summer period. Based on an evaluation of the bids received, staff recommends that Contract PMO11-05 be awarded to Vema Corp. Constructors for the total cost not to exceed $325,000.00, plus a 20% contingency, plus HST, as they are the lowest bidder that meets TRCA specifications. In addition, staff recommends that the supply and delivery of the windows and doors for a cost of $111,200.00, plus HST, be executed by Vema Corp. Constructors prior to final approval at Authority Meeting #5/12, scheduled to be held on June 22, 2012.

PERMIT APPLICATIONS EX11.74 - EX11.78 ARE MAJOR APPLICATIONS

CITY OF BRAMPTON

EX11.74 HABITAT FOR HUMANITY BRAMPTONTo construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure on Block H, Plan M-126, (20A Hoskins Square (Units 20B and 20C)), in the City of Brampton, Etobicoke Creek Watershed as located on the property owned by Habitat for Humanity Brampton. The purpose is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area and the Regional Storm Floodplain of the Etobicoke Creek Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of two residential dwellings.

The permit will be issued for the period of June 1, 2012 to May 31, 2014 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

Letter of Undertaking, dated May 29, 2012, prepared by T. Fischer, Habitat for

Humanity Brampton, to address all outstanding TRCA engineering concerns.

RATIONALEThe application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal:The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area and the Regional Storm Floodplain of the Etobicoke Creek Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of two detached residential dwellings at 20 Hoskins Square, located at the northeast corner of Queen Street and Dixie Road, in the City of Brampton. The proposed development has been submitted by Habitat for Humanity in partnership with Peel Housing Corporation and will provide housing which is affordable for low income families.

184

Based on the initial discussions with the applicant, the preferred development envisioned by Habitat for Humanity involved the construction of three detached residential dwelling units. As such, City of Brampton Council passed By-law No. 177-2011 (City File No. C04E06.025) on June 22, 2012 to amend the City of Brampton Zoning By-law to permit the development of one to three non-profit dwelling units on the subject lands.

On August 5, 2011 at TRCA Executive Committee Meeting #7/11, the Authority's Executive Committee approved a TRCA permit (Permit No. C-110597) to construct one detached residential dwelling on the subject property. This TRCA permit application represents the second phase of a two-staged development proposal envisioned by Habitat for Humanity.

The entire site is located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, which is associated with a tributary of the Etobicoke Creek Watershed located immediately west of the subject property. The subject property was subsequently owned by first the Province of Ontario and more recently the Region of Peel, during which time the lot remained vacant, and has on occasion been used for overflow parking. This property was recently conveyed by the Region of Peel to Habitat for Humanity, such that Habitat for Humanity could pursue opportunities for low income housing on this site. In considering Habitat for Humanity's proposal for development on this site, TRCA staff have taken into consideration the infill nature of this site and this proposal, and have analyzed the floodplain characteristics within this area. Although the site is located within the floodplain, TRCA staff feel that it is appropriate to view this proposal as an infill project, for which consideration must be given for the surrounding development form. Given that the floodplain within this local area displays characteristics similar to that of a flood spill zone, it is staff's opinion that some development opportunities on-site may be feasible provided flood protection measures can be incorporated into the design of the proposed development. Based on TRCA staff's review of existing flood data and recognizing the limitations associated with the existing flood model that are specific to the Dixie-Queen Street area, TRCA senior staff are satisfied that the proposed off-site flooding impacts, although measurable, are acceptable. With consideration for this project being infill, and the limitations of existing floodplain model for this area as noted above, and the potential for additional affordable housing in Brampton, TRCA senior staff are satisfied that the proposed development represents an acceptable balance between a slight localized increase in flooding and the social benefits associated with this project.

In order to address concerns regarding "safe" ingress and egress, as a component of this application, the applicant has submitted a report that details the steps in response to a flood emergency for the subject property, including actions to be undertaken by the City of Brampton departments and partnering agencies. Additionally, based on the plans submitted with this application, it appears the proposed development is adequately floodproofed in accordance with TRCA policy and has been designed to withstand the flood water depths and velocities expected during a Regional Storm event.

185

In order facilitate the construction of the two additional detached residential dwelling units, the creation of two additional lots at this location is necessary. On October 14, 2011 at TRCA Executive Committee Meeting #9/11, the Authority's Executive Committee approved for TRCA Authority Committee action Resolution #B156/11, which supported TRCA's acquisition of 0.006 ha (0.01 acres) of land from the subject property. The purpose of this acquisition was to facilitate the creation of two additional lots by way of natural severance to support this TRCA permit application. On October 28, 2011 at TRCA Authority Committee Meeting #9/11, the TRCA's Authority Committee approved Resolution #A221/11, which instructed staff to complete the land transaction. The City of Brampton supports the creation of the two additional residential lots at this location.

Control of Flooding:The proposed development is located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, and minor localized impacts to the floodplain are anticipated as a result of the proposed development. However, the potential impacts must be balanced with the potential gains that would result from the proposed development. With the nature of this floodplain, and with consideration for the localized impact that may result, TRCA senior engineering staff are satisfied that this proposal represents an acceptable balance.

Pollution:Appropriate erosion and sediment controls (i.e., silt fence) will be installed and maintained throughout all phases of construction.

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable.

Erosion:There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns associated with this project.

Conservation of Land:No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. As such, no plantings are required.

PlantingsNo plantings are proposed with this application.

Policy Guidelines:This application meets the intent of Section 4.2.2 (G) - Development & Redevelopment/Intensification Within Non-Established Communities/Highly Urbanized Areas - Infilling - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

Proposal:The City of Toronto is proposing to install new storm sewers, replace watermains and reconstruct roadway on St. Margarets Drive, Donwoods Drive (from Knightswood Road to St. Margarets Drive) and Knightswood Road. The study area is located in the City of Toronto near Yonge Street and York Mills Road, within a regulated area of the Don River watershed. These works were identified in a Municipal Environmental Assessment (EA) that the City completed in 2006. The EA recommended upgrades to the existing watermain and sanitary sewers, as well as for a new stormwater management system for this area of Hoggs Hollow. The EA also recommended installing new storm sewer outfalls and implementing stormwater quality measures. Works will also involve replacement of two existing outfalls discharging into the West Don River, one at the end of Donwoods Drive and the other at the end of Knightswood Road. The work is expected to occur between July and December 2012, and shall constitute the second phase of the Hoggs Hollow stormwater quality and road improvements project.

Control of Flooding:Staff has confirmed that the proposed road and stormwater improvements will have no impact to flooding, flood storage or conveyance of floodwaters. The proposed works will improve the existing storm runoff conditions in this area, and all grades in the floodplain will be maintained or matched. As a precautionary measure and upon TRCA request, the City contractor has provided a Construction Flood Contingency Plan to be in effect during active construction periods. This contingency plan outlines the procedures to be followed by the City and its consultants in the event of a flood, including receiving flood warnings, site monitoring and evacuations.

Pollution:Standard erosion and sediment control measures will be installed prior to construction and maintained for its duration, and until the site is stabilized and restored. These measures are being implemented to prevent the release of construction generated sediment into the West Don River. Filter fabric (Terra Fix 270R or approved equivalent) is to be placed under grates on all catchbasins to trap sediment. These silt traps are to be cleaned regularly, and are not to be removed until the curbs are constructed and the boulevards are sodded. Construction of the new outfalls and concrete collars, as well as the laying of rip-rap from the outfall to the river edge, shall occur in the “dry”. The work area for the outfall headwalls shall be isolated using coffer dams, comprised of pea gravel filled with sand bags on native ground. An impermeable plastic layer will also be incorporated into the coffer dams to create a watertight barrier. Coffer dams shall be constructed to a height of 0.3m above the 2-year water levels.

All sediment control devices are to be routinely inspected and maintained in proper working order until the area is stabilized. Mud mats measuring 20m are to be used at the entrances to lay down areas, and if necessary, trucks will be washed down before leaving the site. Erosion and sediment control measures have been provided in accordance with the TRCA 2006 Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction.

188

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable

Erosion:There are no geotechnical engineering issues associated with the proposed work, and no impacts identified to slope stability or erosion as a result of these works.

Conservation of Land:With erosion and sediment control plans in effect, the potential for a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) to fish habitat will be mitigated. Construction of the new outfalls and concrete collars, as well as the laying of rip-rap from the outfall to the river edge, shall occur in the “dry”. The warmwater fisheries timing window will apply to this project, and as such, work will be restricted between April 1 and June 30. Direct impact to fish habitat will be minimized since both the Donwoods and Knightswood sewer outfalls will be installed in the “dry”. A Letter of Advice regarding mitigation of negative impacts will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).

PlantingsA detailed vegetation inventory report has been prepared to identify vegetation within the study area, including the ones to be removed/impacted and the ones to be protected during construction. The removal of nine (9) trees and injury to an additional thirty-seven (37) will be required to complete the proposed works. Plywood tree protection hoarding will be installed in accordance with City of Toronto urban forestry requirements. A tree establishment plan to compensate for tree injury and removal will be provided once the final number of removals and injuries is known.

Policy Guidelines:This proposal complies with Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of the TRCA’s Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Letter of Undertaking, Prepared by Bruce Borgundvaag, Dated May 29, 2012, Received

May 30, 2012


Proposal:The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed, in order to facilitate the construction of a second storey addition above the existing garage. The subject property is located east of Markham Road and south of Highway 7, with the Rouge River located to the south of the property. The majority of the dwelling is located within the TRCA's regulated area, within an established neighbourhood. While this dwelling is located above the top of bank, it is located within close proximity of the feature. The second storey addition is proposed to be built above the existing garage and does not increase the overall footprint of the structure. A geotechnical investigation was submitted and reviewed by TRCA staff which confirmed that the proposed second storey addition will be structurally stable as it will utilize the existing foundation and load bearing walls. As the addition does not extend beyond the existing structure, the existing buffer from the stable top of slope is maintained, and therefore the proposed addition does not introduce any additional risk to the property or adjacent natural features. As such, TRCA staff concur with the findings and agree that the proposed addition is appropriately located on the property.

192

Control of Flooding:The proposed structure is located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, no impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of floodwaters are anticipated.

Pollution:Appropriate sediment and erosion controls will be installed and maintained on the subject property throughout all phases of construction.


Erosion:All geotechnical concerns have been addressed by the applicant and approved by TRCA staff.

Conservation of Land:No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction.

PlantingsNo plantings are proposed as the site will remain in its current state.

Letter of Undertaking, Prepared by Dilawri Group of Companies, Dated April 27, 2012


Proposal:The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed in order to facilitate the re-construction of a an existing parking lot. The subject property is located north of Hwy 407, west of Kennedy Road and adjacent to a Rouge River tributary. The existing parking lot was approved by the Executive Committee October 9, 2009 (Permit # C-10073) and included a retaining wall feature and a porous grass surfaced parking lot. The porous surface was to provide both stormwater quantity and quality control and the grass surface was implemented as an environmental initiative to implement low impact development (LID) on the property. Unfortunately the grass surface parking lot is failing, as the constant high volume of traffic is preventing the grass from establishing and performing its intended function.. As a result, the applicant placed sod on the parking lot in an attempt to expedite the growth of the grass. This has negatively impacted the function of the permeable surface, resulting in a loss of infiltration as the honeycomb structure is now underneath a thick layer of soil and sod, clogging the porous surface and defeating its overall purpose. The result is a failed LID which is impermeable and is resulting in mud and sediment to migrate towards the creek and onto the road during storm events.

194

The permeable parking lot was a component of the original application as an enhancement opportunity to mitigate the encroachment of the parking lot on the natural feature. The applicant is now proposing to provide paved surfacing for the parking area, with bio-swales and landscaped areas to perform a similar function as the permeable parking lot. This includes ensuring that quantity and quality controls for stormwater is maintained within the parking lot as originally intended. The re-construction of this parking lot will not result in any adverse impacts to the corridor and will enhance its current state. TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposed works will not have any negative impacts on the feature as the works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain.

Control of Flooding:The proposed structure 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 sediment and erosion controls will be installed and maintained throughout all phases of construction.


Erosion:There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns related to this application.

Conservation of Land:No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. There are no fisheries related concerns associated with this project.

PlantingsThe applicant will be providing plantings in accordance to TRCA guidelines.

Proposal:The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed, in order to facilitate the replacement of an existing deck with a smaller, enclosed sunroom. The subject property is located east of Markham Road and south of Highway 7, with the Rouge River located to the south of the property. The majority of the dwelling is located within the TRCA's regulated area and is located within an established neighbourhood. While this dwelling is located above the top of bank, it is located within close proximity of the feature. The existing deck is located close to the top of bank. Once the deck is removed, the proposed sunroom will be located closer to the home, away from the valley feature, and will have an overall reduced floor plate in comparison to the existing deck. A geotechnical investigation was submitted and reviewed by TRCA staff which confirmed that the proposed sunroom is appropriately set back and buffered from the stable top of slope. Therefore the proposed sunroom will provide a larger buffer and an overall reduction in risk. As such, TRCA staff concur with the findings and agree that the proposed sunroom is appropriately located on the property.

TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposed sunroom will not have any negative impacts on the feature as it will be located within the existing footprint of the existing deck structure. The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain.
