The fire hall site on Taunton Road will be a joint Fire/EMS facility requiring approximately .6 ha (1.5 ac) of land. The second fire hall located south of Hwy 7 will require approximately 0.4 ha (1.1 ac) of land Other Uses • Transit depot It should be noted that the policies for Neighbourhood 19 of Amendment 22 to the Pickering Official Plan (Seaton Conformity OPA) requires the City to cooperate with the Province and the Region to identify appropriate sites for a future regional works depot and transit depot outside of the Phase 1 Prestige Employment Area lands. Appropriate changes made to Sections G2.2.2 , G2.2.6 and G5.4. Changes made to wording through Section G5.5.

COMMENT RESPONSE REPORT CHAPTER AND SECTION “4 ...Similar to the District Park, this is one of the few uses permitted in this designation.” Fire Hall/EMS “The possible EMS station is encouraged to co-locate with one of the two fire halls.” Similar to our comment in item 6. above, a Regional EMS station is to be co-located with the City’s fire hall on Taunton Road. Changes made to wording of Section G5.4. Chapter G5.4 Chapter H – Public Consultation In our previous letter dated September 16, 2010, staff commented that the Phase 2 MESP failed to include our comments and indicate how our comments were addressed. In the MESP Amendment, it would be appropriate that this Chapter be revised to include a table similar to Tables H1.1 and H1.2 that summarizes public and stakeholder comments and how those comments were addressed. Chapter I – Phasing/Implementation Reference should be made to the City’s Conformity OPA requiring the preparation of a Stage Servicing and Implementation Strategy for the entire Seaton urban area that details the anticipated timing and sequencing of major infrastructure and services. Of note is the requirement for the Implementation Strategy to provide for the extension of Regional spine services that are required to facilitate the development of 80 hectares of employment lands between Sideline 26/Whites Road and Sideline 22. In order to meet the target dates for the MESP Amendment, NFSSR’s and Staged Servicing and Implementation Plan as set out in the Minutes of Settlement for the City’s Conformity OPA, staff concur with your request to meet on a biweekly basis that will provide a forum for discussion and decision-making. Also, scheduling technical meetings during the preparation of the NFSSR’s is appropriate. This will streamline our review of the NFSSR’s and enable staff to identify and resolve issues earlier. Your invitation to the Region and the Region’s consultant, Genivar, to participate should also enhance coordination between the MESP Amendment process and the Region’s Class EA in order that the City can move forward with finalizing the Neighbourhood Plans. Chapter J – Future Study Requirements Neighbourhood Functional Servicing and Stormwater Reports (NFSSR), the requirements of the NFSSR’s should be detailed as prescribed in Amendment 22 to the Pickering Official Plan. Public and stakeholder comments and the MESPA responses on how the comments have been addressed were included in Appendix A7of the 2011 MESPA. Additionally, a column is included indicating in what chapter and section the responses are further detailed. Reference to the OPA and SSIS has been included Chapter I Section I1.0. As an update since these comments were issued, a series of workshops were undertaken in November of 2012 to review the MESPA recommendations, Neighbourhood Planning Policies and any major constraints to development for each neighbourhood. Additionally, two Seaton Implementation Meetings were held to discuss the status of the various studies and any major hurdles to overcome. These meetings are identified in Table H1.3 in Chapter H, with meeting minutes presented in Appendix H4. All agencies were invited to these workshops and meetings. The requirements of the NFSSR are provided in the Annotated Table of Contents presented as Appendix J2 referenced in Chapter J2.6. Chapter A Appendix A7 Chapter I1.0 Chapter H1.9 Chapter J2.6 Next Steps: Phases 3 and 4 for City roads, reference is made to the NFSSR’s addressing Phases 3 and 4 for Schedule C arterial and collector roads. We previously noted that there were two City collector roads that were not considered during the Master Environmental Servicing Plan Amendment (MESPA) process. These two roads are: • Collector Road between Highway 407 and Highway 7, east of the future Sideline 26/Whites Road interchange; and • Collector Road between Highway 407 and Highway 7, west of the future Sideline 26/Whites Road interchange. Chapter C2.0 has been updated to better describe the reasons that these two Road projects are not subject to the Municipal Class EA. The reason is as follows: “The other City-jurisdiction arterial and collector roads to be built by the SLG (which are designated to be Schedule B projects as a result of their estimated cost of less than $2.7 million) are not subject to the MEA Class EA per Ontario Regulation 345/93. O.R. 345/93 designates only projects listed in Schedule C of the Class EA by private sector developers as subject to the Environmental Assessment Act; thus, since these road projects are subject to Schedule B they are not subject to the Municipal Class EA.” Clarification on this point was also made in Chapter A.9.2.
