BACKGROUND:
In March 2013, the developer (Horseshoe Valley Lands Ltd.) submitted an application to
the Township requesting a "red -line" revision to their draft plan approved adult lifestyle
community located within the Horseshoe Valley Settlement Area. The original draft plan
was approved by the Township in 2000 and proposed a total of 595 residential lots and
associated amenities on the lands at the southern boundary of the Horseshoe Valley
settlement area. A copy of the original draft plan is attached for Council's reference
(Attachment 1). Given the large scale of the proposal it was intended to be developed in
a series of phases. Laurelview Homes developed the first phase (Landscapes Phase 1)
with a total of 66 single detached residential lots. Subsequently Horseshoe Valley Lands
Ltd. acquired the property and developed the next phases, consisting of Landscapes
Phase 2 with a total 16 single detached residential lots and Ridgewood Court with a total
of 15 single detached residential lots.
Horseshoe Valley Lands Ltd. intends to develop the balance of the draft plan and at this
time wishes to proceed with the next phase (Landscapes Phase 3) consisting of 57 single
detached residential lots and 27 townhouse units serviced by municipal water and
communal sewage. The redline request proposes to reduce the number of lots from 124
single detached residential lots with 15 metre frontages and instead develop the lands for
a total of 84 units, as follows:
• 26 single detached residential lots with 25 metre frontages;
• 31 single detached residential lots with 19 metre frontages; and
• 27 freehold townhouses with 10 metre frontages.

The developer has also requested that a block that was included in the original draft
approved plan for the purposes of a private recreation facility be deleted from this phase.
A copy of the proposed redline plan is attached for reference (Attachment 2).
In order to permit the proposed red -line revision for Landscapes Phase 3, the developer
has also applied to amend the Township's Official Plan to redesignate a portion of
Landscapes Phase 3 from "Horseshoe Valley — Low Density Residential" to "Horseshoe
Valley—Medium Density Residential", as well as to rezone portions from Residential One
Exception One Hundred Fourty (R1*140) Zone to Residential One Exception Two
Hundred Thirty Two (R1*232) Zone, Residential One Exception Two Hundred Thirty
Three (R1*233) Zone and Residential Two Exception Two Hundred Thirty Four (R2*234)
Zone. The amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law have been requested in
order to accommodate the proposed townhouse units, as well to establish site-specific
zoning provisions for the single detached residential lots. Attachment 3 identifies those
lands that are proposed to be redesignated to "Horseshoe Valley — Medium Density
Residential" and Attachment 4 identifies those lands proposed to be rezoned.
The purpose of this report is to consider the amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning
By-law, as well as the red -line revision to the draft plan of subdivision.
ANALYSIS:
As indicated above, the Township has received a request for a "redline revisions" to a
draft plan of subdivision that was originally approved by the Township in 2000 for a total
of 595 residential lots, of which Landscapes Phases 1 & 2 and Ridgewood Court have
already been developed for a total of 97 single detached residential lots. A redline
revision is a technical planning term that essentially refers to any change in the draft plan
of subdivision that would alter its original approval and would necessitate changes to the
conditions under which it was originally approved. The redline revision proposes to
reduce the number of residential units in Landscapes Phase 3 from 124 single detached
residential units to 84 (57 single detached units and 27 freehold townhouse units) by
increasing the lot frontage and areas for the single detached units and adding townhouse
units. The development is proposed to be serviced by the existing municipal water and
private communal sewage systems serving the area.
The development is located within the designated settlement area of Horseshoe Valley
that has been identified for future growth in the Township. However, an amendment to
the Official Plan is required to permit the proposed townhouses on a portion of the lands
because the policies of the existing "Horseshoe Valley — Low Density Residential"
designation primarily permits single detached dwellings and only permits a limited amount
of medium density housing such as townhouses in the context of an adult lifestyle
community in which the density of development shall generally not exceed 7 units per
hectare. The developer is proposing 27 townhouse units on a portion of the lands up to
an increased density of 15 units per hectare and, with the proposed removal of the private
recreation facility component, is changing the development from a specialized adult
lifestyle community to a more standard form of residential development that is intended

to appeal to a broader market and demographic. At the same time, the developer is
proposing that the 57 single detached residential lots dwellings in Landscapes Phase 3
be developed with lot sizes and lot frontages larger than those which were originally draft
approved.
An amendment to the Zoning By-law is required to zone the lands for the proposed
townhouses and larger -sized single detached residential lots, as well as to establish a
number of site-specific zoning provisions requested by the developer. The details of the
proposed Zoning By-law Amendment are:
Proposed Residential One Exception Two Hundred Thirty Two (R1 *232) Zone (Single

In terms of comparison with the existing zoning of the lands, the two proposed zones
(R1 *232 and R1 *233) noted above for single detached dwellings are substantially similar
to the existing Residential One Exception One Hundred Fourty (R1*140) Zone. The
differences from the existing zoning are that the R1 *232 and R1 *233 Zones propose:
• An increase to the minimum lot area from 450 square metres to 575 square metres
and 750 square metres, respectively;
• An increase to the minimum lot frontage from 15 metres to 19.25 metres and 25
metres, respectively;
• An increase to the minimum rear yard for a deck not abutting a golf course from
5.0 metres to 5.5. metres;
• Changing the minimum interior side yard requirements from 1.5 metres on one
side and 0.75 metres on the other side to 1.2 metres on both sides and 1.5 metres
on both sides, respectively;
• An increase to the permitted encroachment of unenclosed porches and balconies
of from 0.5 metres to 1.5 metres for an exterior side yard only.
The above -noted changes are, in Planning Staff's opinion, consistent and appropriate for
the larger single detached lot sizes proposed by the developer. The proposed increased
exterior side yard encroachment for porches and balconies would provide the developer
with greater flexibility in achieving attractive architectural design of dwellings situated on
corner lots, while the General Provisions of Zoning By-law No. 97-95 with respect to
providing traffic sight lines on corner lots would still apply.
With respect to the proposed Residential Two Exception Two Hundred Thirty Four
(R2*234) Zone for townhouses, the developer has requested the following provisions:
Proposed Residential Two Exception Two Hundred Thirty Four (R2*234) Zone
(Townhouses):
• Minimum Lot Area of
350 m2
• Minimum Lot Frontage of
10.15 m
• Minimum Front Yard

Although there are currently no lands within the area of the draft plan which are zoned for
townhouses, the Township's Zoning By-law does contain a Residential Two (112) zoning
category for townhouses. The differences between the developer's proposed Residential
Two Exception (R2*234) Zone and the Zoning By-law's existing R2 Zone are that the
developer is proposing:
• Establishing a minimum lot area per unit of 350 square metres, whereas there is
currently no minimum in the Zoning By-law;
• An increase to the minimum lot frontage from 6 metres to 10.15 metres;
• Establishing minimum front yard setbacks of 4.5 metres to a dwelling and 6 metres
to a garage, identical to the setbacks already in place for the single detached
dwellings;
• Establishing minimum rear yard setbacks of 7.5 metres to a dwelling and 4.5
metres to a deck, identical to the setbacks already in place for the single detached
dwellings;
• An increase to the minimum interior side yard setback for a townhouse end unit
from 1.2 metres to 1.5 metres;
• Establishing a maximum lot coverage of 70%; and
• An increase to the permitted encroachment of unenclosed porches and balconies
of from 0.5 metres to 1.5 metres for an exterior side yard only.
The developer's above -noted proposed zoning provisions for townhouses would result in
a relatively lower density and larger lot townhouse development when compared to the
Zoning by-law's current standards for townhouses. Planning Staff is of the opinion that
the proposed zoning is appropriate for townhouses in the context of a predominantly large
lot development in an area that does not benefit from full municipal services.
In support of the proposed revision, the applicant submitted a series of technical reports:
1. Land Use Planning Report — Rudy and Associates
2. Functional services Report — Pearson Engineering
3. Archaeological Assessment — Amick Consultants
4. D-4 Guideline Report — Azimuth Environmental
The reports and their review by Township Staff, the Township's engineer (AECOM) and
commenting agencies conclude that there are existing constraints on the municipal water
system which may not be able to support a population greater than 3.5 persons per unit.
There is the need to increase raw water source and storage to service the continuing
development of the area. With respect to private communal sanitary services, the
capacity of the existing waste water treatment plan is under review and upgrades have
been identified. Although average daily flows from the development would fall within the
capacity of the plant, there are times when peak flows have caused problems. Based on
the above, Planning Staff has prepared conditions of draft plan approval (see Attachment
5) that identify that there is no guarantee of servicing capacity at this time and that
adequate capacity must be in place prior to development occurring. In addition, the
zoning of the lands would include a Holding (H) provision that would prevent the issuance
of building permits until such time as the Township is satisfied that all development related
matters, including servicing, are addressed to the Township's satisfaction.

The proposed red -lined plan would no longer include lands that were identified in the
approved draft plan for the purposes of a private recreational facility. Planning Staff have
consulted with Recreation and Community Services Staff in this regard to determine that
the existing draft plan no longer reflects the Township's long-term objectives for providing
public recreational facilities in the Horseshoe Valley area. In this respect, Planning Staff
has prepared a condition of draft plan approval whereby the developer would
acknowledge the need to provide the Township with parkland and/or cash -in -lieu of
parkland in future phases, as well as an additional contribution towards recreation
facilities in -lieu of the private recreational facility that the developer wishes to remove from
Landscapes Phase 3.
Additional conditions of draft plan approval have also been added to identify the need for
further archaeological studies on the lands, as well as to identify the potential need for
additional "D-4 Studies" to assess the impacts of a former landfill site located on the
adjacent Edgar lands.
The proposed Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and redline revision
has been assessed in context to all the relevant planning policies/legislation including the
Provincial Policy Statement, Places to Grow Growth Plan, County of Simcoe Official Plan,
Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan and has been determined to conform to those
goals, objectives, and policies as the development is located within the Horseshoe Valley
settlement area designated by both the Township and County Plans for future growth on
partial servicing (municipal water and communal sewage systems) which is permitted by
the servicing hierarchy and the Official Plan. The design of the proposed development,
including the location of large single detached residential lots between the existing
development and the proposed townhouses, has taken into consideration measures to
ensure that the new development is compatible with the existing community.
While the technical reports have identified servicing constraints at this time, Planning Staff
recognizes that the lands are already within a draft approved plan of subdivision and that
the proposed revisions to Landscapes Phase 3 would actually reduce the number of units
in this phase from 124 to 84. Based on this, Planning Staff is of the opinion that the
Township should approve the red -lined plan while using available mechanisms
(conditions of draft plan approval and Holding (H) provisions) to ensure that development
does not take place until adequate servicing capacity has been achieved.
Landscapes Phase 3, as well as the balance of undeveloped lands in the draft plan are
intended to continue to be subject to a Holding provision on the zoning of the lands which
requires the execution and registration of a Subdivision Agreement and issuance of the
Certificate of Substantial Completion prior to building permits being considered. The
Subdivision Agreement is also registered on title which ensures that any future landowner
is also obligated by the agreement.
A statutory public meeting was held on June 17, 2013 regarding the proposed
amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and the proposed red line revisions
to the draft plan. Comments expressed at the meeting included traffic concerns,
overcrowding resulting from the proposed townhouses, loss of natural areas, drainage

concerns and requests to clean up the lands immediately adjacent to the existing
development. The lands will be subject to a number of conditions of draft plan approval
which will, among other things, address traffic and stormwater management in greater
detail to ensure that the development can function within the appropriate design
standards. The development would provide the existing community and the new
residents with a road connection to Line 3 North, thus ensuring better provisions for
emergency access purposes. The developer has also committed to using this connection
to Line 3 North, rather than the existing roads in the community, for construction access
purposes. The future Subdivision would include provisions to ensure that construction
access only occurs from Line 3 North. Notwithstanding the proposed townhouses, the
development would maintain an overall density that is within the maximum densities
permitted by the Official Plan for the Horseshoe Valley Settlement Area. While the
condition of some of the lands immediately adjacent to the dwelling is largely consistent
with that of an area that is still being developed, the developer made commitments at the
public meeting to clean-up the lands.
On the basis of the analysis provided above, staff recommend the approval of the
Amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and to the redline plan for
Landscapes Phase 3 in accordance with Attachments 3 and 4. All other conditions from
the original draft plan will continue to be required to be satisfied prior to the execution of
a subdivision agreement with the Township.

CONCLUSION:
Planning Staff finds the proposed amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to
conform to/be consistent with Provincial, County and Township policies. The proposed
red -lined revisions to approved Draft Plan of Subdivision 43OM-20001 would provide for
a reduction of the number of proposed residential units in Landscapes Phase 3 from 124
to 84 while introducing townhouses to the area in manner that is compatible with the
character of the residential community. In respect of the requested red -lined revision,
Planning Staff recommends to Council that the Notice of Amended Conditions
(Attachment 5) be issued by Staff.

That Condition 1 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
1 "That this approval applies to the draft plan 43 -OM -20001 prepared by Dino Astri Surveying Ltd., dated
June 30, 2000, showing a total of 595 lots and 32 blocks on Part of North Half and South Half of Lot 3 and
Part of Lot 4, Concession 4 in the former Township of Oro (now Township of Oro-Medonte). The draft
plan being subject to the registration of Pian 51 M-741 on April 10, 2003 for 66 lots, Plan 51 M-981

Maplehill Estates, Drainage
Issues (Northwood Court and
Roll #:
R.M.S. File #:
Pineview Drive)
RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action I X I For Information Only
It is recommended that:
1. THAT Report No. TES2013-15 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the Director, Transportation and Environmental Services be authorized to
proceed with repairs to #35 Northwood Court and #11 Pineview Drive
3. AND THAT all associated costs be financed from the Stabilization Reserve.
BACKGROUND:
Staff has recently experienced two drainage issues in the Maplehill Estates
development. These issues are located at #35 Northwood Court, and #11 Pineview
Drive.
Mr. Rewucki, owner of # 35 Northwood Court, has experienced drainage issues at the
rear of his lot, and septic bed, since moving into his home in 2001. Upon reviewing the
property file for this residence there are a number of inspections and emails to
substantiate his concerns. Both Township and AECOM staff have attended the site on
numerous occasions, but there has never been a solution to the problem.
Mr. Al Lees from AECOM, Fred MacGregor Manager of Environmental Services, and I,
met onsite with Mr.Rewucki in June, 2013, to again review the drainage concerns. It
was quite evident that any surface water that collected on the backyard, and septic field,
would not drain to the swale as the grades were high, and would not allow water to flow.
A hole was hand dug on the septic field to determine the bed depth and stone quantity.
It was discovered that the tile bed was pressurized, because when digging the hole to a
tile run, grey water began flowing, which indicates that the bed is not functioning
properly. This lot in particular has a very heavy clay base which traps water. A local
licensed septic installer has been on site to provide options and costs for necessary
repairs.

Page 24 of 48
6b) Report No. TES2013-15, Jerry Ball, Director of Trans...
The second drainage issue is located at #11 Pineview, which entails lot grading and
severe driveway erosion. This issue, much like the drainage concerns at #35
Northwood Court, has been ongoing since the home owner Ms. Lee Scott has resided
at this address. During heavy storm events surface water from this lot, as well as the
property to the south, sheet flows out to the top of the driveway and then flows down the
gravel driveway, towards the Municipal road. This surface water causes large deep ruts
in the driveway; washes gravel and silt down Pineview Drive, filling the storm sewer and
catch basin. As part of the lot grading, stone or grass swales should have been
constructed on both sides of the driveway to control the surface drainage.
The notes in this property file indicate that these issues have been ongoing and no
solution, or repairs, has been completed at this time. Both AECOM & Township staff
has been onsite, on numerous occasions, to review the erosion concerns. Staff has
discussed with Development Services to review the Subdivision Agreement, for any
wording or clause that would hold the Developer responsible for these concerns. It has
been determined that there is no recourse to resolve these issues. The subdivision was
assumed in 2009, and all securities have been released that could possibly assisted in
dealing with these lot grading issues.
Staff has requested quotations for repairs for the driveway erosion at #11 Pineview
Drive.
ANALYSIS:
Staff has received one quotation from Espey Septic Service Ltd. (they are familiar with
the tile fields in this area) to address the surface drainage, as well as making the
necessary repairs to the septic bed. The cost of this quotation from Espey Septic
Service is $5901.00.
Staff received two quotations from local contractors to pave the driveway at #11
Pineview Drive and correct the lot drainage. The quotations are as follows:
• KJ Beamish, $24,000.00 which includes paved swales.
• Global Simcoe Paving, $10,000.00 (No paved swales)
FINANCIAL / LEGAL IMPLICATIONS / RISK MANAGEMENT:
As the Municipality no longer has securities in place to address these concerns, within
this development, both projects will be financed from the Budget Stabilization Reserve.

CONCLUSION:
As both of these issues have been ongoing from the time the homes were built, the
Developer has completed the build out of the subdivision, and all securities have been
released, therefore staff recommends that the Municipality proceed with the necessary
repairs, to elevate the drainage issues, and assume all associated costs.

On behalf of the Government of Ontario, thank you for supporting and promoting
community sport, recreation and physical activity in our province. The new Ontario
government is committed to helping people of all ages and abilities get active, stay fit
and live healthier.
I am pleased to inform you that the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport has
approved your Municipal Inclusion Program initiative in the amount of $11,300.
Through the Ontario Sport and Recreation Communities Fund, we are supporting
increased opportunities for participation, building physical literacy as the foundation for
lifelong activity and strengthening the capacity of the sport and recreation sector.
MTCS recognizes that providing Ontarians with opportunities to engage in community
sport, recreation and physical activity is critical to improving quality of life. Research
demonstrates that sustained physical activity contributes to long lasting benefits such
as physical, mental, emotional and social well-being, thereby strengthening human
development and the diverse communities in which we live.

8a) A By-law to Adopt An Amendment to the Official Plan ...
PART 1 — THE PREAMBLE
The purpose of this Official Plan Amendment is to amend the wording in Section
C14.3.6 Horseshoe Valley Low Density Residential designation and to amend
Schedule D Horseshoe Valley Land Use Schedule in the Township of Oro-
Medonte Official Plan.
The intent of the Official Plan Amendment is to amend Section C14.3.6 of the
Official Plan, as identified for lands shown on Appendix A to this amendment, to
permit townhouse dwellings and a maximum density of 15 units per hectare, on a
portion of lands legally described as Part of South Half of Lot 3 and Part of Lot 4,
Concession 4, Geographic Township of Oro, Township of Oro-Medonte.
1.2 LOCATION
The subject property legally described as Part of South Half of Lot 3 and Part of
Lot 4, Concession 4, Geographic Township of Oro, Township of Oro-Medonte is
currently draft approved for residential development. A portion of the lands are
currently subject to a proposed redline revision running concurrently with this
amendment.
1.3 BASIS
The subject lands are currently draft approved and designated for low density
residential development. The redline revision as submitted proposes to change
the configuration of the residential lots within the plan. The goal of the redline
revision and Official Plan Amendment is to add townhouses to an area currently
approved for single detached dwellings and thereby provide a greater range of
housing types.
The redline revision encompasses an area of approximately 10.206 hectares
(25.22 acres) and proposes 57 single detached dwelling lots and 3 blocks to
accommodate 27 townhouse units, for a total of 84 residential units.
To the west, the subject property borders an existing residential development,
known as Landscapes Phase 2. It is the intent of the proposed Official Plan
Amendment to maintain the Low Density Residential designation adjacent to
these existing homes to create a buffer from the proposed intensified residential
use throughout the site. The goal is to create an area of transition between the
existing residences and the future development.
This Official Plan Amendment requests to amend Section C14.3.6 of the Official
Plan for the lands encompassing Blocks 58, 59 and 60 of the redline revision to
permit townhouse units and an increased density of 15 units per hectare on the
Page 38 of 48
8a) A By-law to Adopt An Amendment to the Official Plan ...
lands. The lands subject to the amendment are shown on Schedule A attached
to this amendment.
1.4 JUSTIFICATION
The subject property is located within the Horseshoe Valley Settlement Area and
designated in the Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan as Horseshoe Valley
Low Density Residential. The Horseshoe Valley Low Density Residential
designation is intended to accommodate single family residential uses in the
settlement area.
The proposal to allow for townhouses within a portion of the proposed redline
revisions is appropriate for this area as Horseshoe Valley is a recognized
settlement area with existing infrastructure to accommodate the development as
proposed. The inclusion of townhouses within the redline revision provides for a
wider range of housing densities and types within the settlement area and
represents intensification through an efficient and orderly use of infrastructure in
an existing residential community.
The proposed land use conforms to the policies of the Growth Plan, the
Provincial Policy Statement (2005), the County of Simcoe Official Plan, and the
Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan. Accommodating townhouse dwellings
on a portion of the redline revisions and a higher residential density on the
remaining future development lands represents an appropriate form of
intensification within an existing serviced area.
