J. Vanlint, A. M. Holmes, Elisabeth Leyds, M. Saila, Ted & Diane Lalm, Trudy Vanderveen, Gary & Rose Lotchart, Lorraine Ego, Bruce Sawyer, Peter Kirkely Reeve Robert E. Drury chaired the meeting. Reeve Robert E. Drury opened the meeting by explaining to those present that the purpose of the public meeting was to introduce a proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment under Sections 17 (2) and 34 (12) of the Planning Act. The proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment is to redesignate those lands located in Part of Lots 2 and 3, Concession 9 from Agricultural, Rural, and Environmental Protection designation to allow the development of mixed residential and recreational uses; and further to rezone from the Agricultural (A), Rural (RU), Environmental Protection (EP). - 2 - Notice of the public meeting was circulated to all property owners within 400 feet of the subject lands. Notice of the public meeting was also placed in both the Barrie Examiner and Orillia Packet and Times on May 10, 1989. The Reeve then asked the Clerk if there had been any correspondence received on this matter. The Clerk responded by indicating that five pieces of correspondence had been received namely from Peter Walsh, E.J. Beaton, Anita C. Beaton, Gary W. Luhowy, Lillian McCbnnell and R.E. & J.C. Hutchison. The Reeve then stated that all persons present would be afforded the opportunity of asking questions with respect to the proposed amendments. Reeve Robert Drury then turned the meeting over to the Township Planning Consultant Mr. Ron Watkin to explain the purpose and effect of the amendment. At the conclusion of Mr. Watkin's presentation, the Planning Consultant for the Developer Mr. Ross Raymond, addressed those present stating the status of the development on behalf of Seeley & Arnill Aggregates. The Reeve then asked those present if they had any questions or comments with regards to this proposal. Ed Hall: At the May 15th meeting of the Coulson Jarratt District Ratepayers Association Mr. Ross Raymond agreed to supply us with a complete set of current engineer- ing reports. We just received these reports on last Friday @ 6:00 p.m. (3 days ago). I respectfully request Council reschedule this meeting to provide us time to review and understand this material in order that we can properly formulate our questions. The Reeve recessed the meeting @ 8:30 p.m. and reconvened at 8:35 p.m. Connie Cochrane: At the onset of this meeting it was mentioned that you had letters in the file with regards to this proposal. I have been in touch with the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of the Environment and they have both spent corrrespondence raising serious concerns with the proposal in question and the plan to rezone at this time is premature. Reeve Drury: We have not received that correspondence to date. Connie Cochrane: Another concern I have is with respect to short term politicans and short terms governments and short term thinking. When the survival of the planet and the human species is totally dependent on clear long range forecasting and planning, we can't keep growing on like this. (Ms. Cochrane read an article from the Spring '88 issue of Seasons, being an Ode to Ontario Farmlands) You are a key guardian to our heritage. Oro Township is being turned over to development at a torrid pace, I urge you to put a freeze on development in Oro until long term environmental and Township planning can be formulated with input from the Ministries of Natural Resources, Environment and Agriculture and of course the residents. - 3 - Connie Cochrane: My further comments are based on the May 15th document we received. We have received nothing in writing indicating some of the things have been changed and therefore my comments are based on that May 15th engineering report. Our concerns are the Coldwater River and Coulson Swamp. The document on May 15th does not acknowledge the significance of this wetland nor does it maintain or improve it. We have 5 major areas of concern: ( 1 ) parks, recreation,. service areas and sewage treatment areas are shown to be directly on the wetlands; housing enroaches on wetlands with no provision for a buffer zone; loss of wetland species due to pesticide application; nutrient loading from sewage affluent and fertilizer application increased flooding and erosion as well as decreased spring flow rate. ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) ( 5 ) (Ms. Cochrane referred to the new Provincial Policy Statement on Wetlands, specifically Sections 1.2 and 4.1) Ed Hall: I wish to express concern over the Hydrogeology report which is the basis for long use planning for the Buffalo Springs proposal. A few neighbouring wells have been overlooked, including Mr. Heitzman's property, the ne well to the north, and my own. The water supply is such a vital question to this development, it is respectfully requested that Council withhold the approval of this proposal until the Developer has conducted such hydrogeolog ical studies that will enable him to guarantee that no adverse affects to neighbouring wells will occur. Lillian McConnell: I and the people here, want to know what studies have been done to determine the impact this development will have on the school district. East Oro Public School is already overloaded. Have boundary changes been discussed? If so, I want to know the projected enrollment for Warminster, Moonstone and Marchmount Schools. They all are already at their maximum. What are the estimated costs of accommodating and busing these children? With provincial cut backs in education and the pooling of the industrial and commercial tax base, what increase. can the taxpayers of all of Oro Township be expected to pay. You say you have been in contact with the Simcoe County Board of Education, I want to know with who. They have admitted to being drastically under- funded. Their concerns are with the southern end of the County, therefore I find it incredible they would give you any indication that they could handle the overflow at East Oro Public SchooL - 4 - Ross Raymond: At the ratepayers meeting on the 25th of May, I promised that a report would be prepared on the school situation. Unfortunately we couldn't get it done before this evening. The report will be made available to the Township and to the Association and Mr. Hall. Gail O'Brien: As the School Board Trustee for Oro and Medonte, I represent the concerned citizens of both of them at this time. I am not sure who you may have been speaking to at the School Board office, but I have spent a great deal of time with Mr. Grant Moore who is in charge of planning for the S.C.B.E. Different areas use different formulas for how many children are being produced per house in a development. In Oro they use 1 in 3. Buffalo Springs therefore, would be estimated to produce 197 chi which means to whatever school these children would attend, would mean an 8 room addition. The way the boundary now lays, these children would be attending East Oro. East Oro now has four portables at this time with the fifth being added this September. If we can keep it in the budget, the way the cuts coming the way they have been, East Oro is to be receiving a 6 room addition for September of 1990. This six room addition would not accomodate these expected 197 children. The impact that a subdivison such as this has on our schools, unfortunately tends to be gradual, as the houses are completed at different phases. In the meantime while we go through the process, it would be at least 10 to 15 years down the road before you would see a new school. Lot levies can only be used at this time, to fund new buildings, not additions or retrofit. Connie Cochrane: I have to question the ratio used. 1 in 3 seems highly unlikely, were talk townhouses here. Susan Grant: I would just like to ask Gail, is it not a 6 room porta pack thats to be at East Oro? Gail O'Brien: At the moment it is a proposed porta pack Jeff Ball: I live about 400 feet south of the Buffalo Springs land. I am totally confused with this process. I was informed that this meeting would be pertinent to the zoning. I don't understand why I would get one page about such a major complex issue when you get seven or eight pages about a small land severance for a farmer who deserves to have his land severed. - 5 - Ron Watkin: This property is first to go through an Official Plan Amendment aDd that's to establish the principle of development, not the specifics of it. The notice that you referred to said that this meeting was for an amendment to the Official Plan and the zoning By-law. We do not deal with the Zoning By-law until the Official Plan is in place. This is the process stipulated by the Province of Ontario. It is not the same as the severance application you referred to. I guess what has been sent to you in that regard would have been the copy of the application itself, which is not necessary, but they have chosen to use that process. You were specifically notified about this meeting because you live within 400 feet of the subject lands. The Township's only legally entitled to advertise in the papers, but they have chosen to do both. We could have sent you the application itself, but it wouldn't tell you what is actually taking place. This public meeting is to provide you with more information and a better understanding of the proposal. Jeff Ball: I would also like to know why it would be necessary to have to phone long distance to get an answer to a question which should be supplied by the Township. Ron Watkin: You contacted me I believe either Thursday afternoon or Friday morning. You asked me for information which was done on this municipality about 5 years ago which the Ministry of Municipal Affairs modified a document on and you wanted all the information pertaining to how and what the Ministry modified. I advised you that I could not give you that information over the phone as. I would have to take some time to go to the files and dig it out. Jeff Ball: I also phonedthe Township Office with a number of other questions and both the Clerk and the Planner were conveniently out of their offices for the last part of last week. It is also common knowledge that Mr. Schumacher came to the Township Council with an unofficial proposal to divide his property into 50 acres lots, or something to that effect. I would like to know from the Reeve or Council, whether or not at that point in time you encouraged Mr. Schumacher to possibly try to sell his land to adjoining farmers? Reeve Drury: Not to my knowledge. Jeff Ball: The Official Plan states in Section 4.6.1 that the addition of lands to existing farm units shall be encouraged. When is this encouragement to take place? You had a perfect opportunity to build up the farms and agricultural - 6 - Jeff Ball: (Cont'd) components of the Township. Reeve Drury: Mr. Schumacher brought a proposal into us for some severances which did not meet our policy so he was turned down. Jeff Ball: Yes, but when does this encouragement policy take place? Ron Watkin: Documents in the Municipality are such that they do try to encourage good agricultural land to be preserved and maintained in agricultural usage. The Municipality, as much as they can find possible, will try to encourage someone to consolidate a farm, but we don't have any control over any individual as to what they might say. This land belongs to Mr. Schumacher, and it is his basic right to sell it or to sell it and consolidate it. Council has no control over that. The guides in the Official Plan are such that they are there and so it is to encourage different types of things, but they don' have the final say or the ability to demand that someone do something. Jeff Ball: There is strong evidence in the papers in the last couple of week that we may be heading into a recession. The sale of houses is recorded to be down about 50% in the Toronto area. Who then will be buying these houses and where will the Township get the money to service such a massive development such as this, if indeed we are heading into such a recession? Reeve Drury: If the Developer fails to finish the development, the Township has a Letter of Credit in place in order that we could finish the development. Lillian McConnell: I understand from Mr. Raymond that all these studies are not complete, and that all documentation is not readily available. Do you not think this entire procedure is extremely premature? You haven't had time to find out if the results of these studies may not be beneficial. that Reeve Drury: You are right. Council still has a lot of documents yet to go over and make sure all are in place before we make a decision. Lillian McConnell: Will that result in another meeting be held in order that we have that informat Reeve Drury: If you wish to come back as a delegation before Council, yes. steve Woodrow: My comments for the people here tonight is that this will be your only chance to object to this officially and we are having the same problem with another development already scheduled for along the highway. What you are getting into - 7 - Steve Woodrow: (Cont'd) here is not gradual growth in the Township anymore, its growth explosion. If you people plan to fight this you better fight it strongly now and all the way to the O.M.B. You can come here as a delegation and you will be heard but you won't have your questions answered very well and you will still leave angry. John Hare: I would hope that all motions made will be noted in your minutes so that when minutes are made available it will show. Reeve Drury: There have been no motions made here this evening so far. The meeting is being tape recorded. John Hare: I certainly hope that you will take into consideration all those people who have stood up here for 13/4 hours, because they are here as concerned citizens. I trust that as a Council who is here to represent us, that you will give consideration to those people who are here and concerned about this proposal. We would also like to appear before Council again. Bob Swerdon: I am not a member of Mr. Hare's rate- payers group but this meeting is for all of the people of this Township and not just one ratepayers association. When you say that the information not presented tonight is yet to be presented and will be sent specifically to one special group, you are eliminat~ng the rest of the people in this Township who are also concerned. As a non-member of that group, how would I be privy to that information. The Planning Act states that you shall have at least one public meeting. It doesn't state that you have only one. I think by the response of the people in this room tonight and especially the response from the people at a previous public meeting, that this Council would have wakened up to that fact that the people here are interested and they don't want the wool pulled over their eyes anymore. If there is not going to be another public meeting so that all of that information can be produced, I would strongly suggest that this proposal be turned down 100% tonight. It would also save the Developers any further needless expenditures. Allan Vanguine: Just looking at the proceedings here this evening, I see your concern for the professionals who are presenting the case of the Developer who are going to take their fee and I do not see the same courtesy offered to the residents of Oro who are going to live here for the rest of their life. What benefits do you perceive the other residents of Oro will get from this development? - 8 - Ron Watkin: As I have already made clear earlier, Council is only here tonight to give us the opportunity for residents to express their concerns so that they some idea of what they are. Council have not said they would not have public meeting. They are not here to make a decision on this tonight. Allan Vanguine: If you had someone here who is totally impartial, they would definitely get feèling that this is a pro-development Council. Reeve Drury: I would like Mr. Watkin to explain to the public here what process would take place if we turned the developer down and didn't call a public meeting this evening. Ron Watkin: Anyone who wants to develop in this Province has the right, whether its a simple severance, a subdivision or a major development. The legal situation is that this group could do all their studies and not have the approval of Council and still get their development. The process is such that they have the right, that under the Planning Act they only have to wait 30 days for a decision on that application- Following those 30 days, they have the right to go directly to the Ontario Municipal Board for a major hearing. That creates a very major expenditure on the Municipalit . This meeting was not set up for controversy or this side against that side. The intent was to obtain the concerns the residents have in order that they can be adequately assessed. If that's not done and it goes to a Board meeting, you've got one Judge who will make the decision. If you want to go to the Board, you have that option too. Allan Vanguine: I understand the process and my major concern is that it will ruin the rural lifestyle of the Township, against the wishes of the residents. Stephen Woodrow: I am sorry for not being very parliamentary. In the past after a public meeting, Council usually decides whether to go ahead with it or not, is that not true? Ron Watkin: Yes that is true, but there are certain instances where certain applications have no problems and that it may be a straight forward minor adjustment. The majority of the time with this Council, it is basically a two week waiting period prior to making a decision. Your comment you made earlier that this was their only chance, is certainly against the planning process and something that I certainly wouldn't recommend Council to do, and ~omething they wouldn't do anyway. - 9 - Stephen Woodrow: I would like to give these people an example of what Council have done in the past. Reeve Drury: Mr. Woodrow you're out of order. Once more and you'll be removed from the Chambers. Gary Luhowy: I represent Lot 3, Concession 10. My first concern I would like to address Mr. Watkin. Mr. Raymond's comments earlier indicated that County Road No. 22 was a corridor area for development. Is there any plan at this point for the Council to consider anamendment to the Official Plan in the North Oro Area as a whole? Normally planning processes are not too condusive to spot zonings, or in this case a large spot Official Plan amendment. It would appear to me to make more sense with the impact on water, sewers, school~, etc. to have an Official Plan Study done on the entire North Oro area. Ron Watkin: A number of things are taking place right now and it is not abnormal for any municipality in Simcoe County to have tremendous development pressures We are currently reviewing many of types of development as well as specific areas having a secondary plan. We are also looking at the agricultural policies. There hasn't been a specific overall study undertaken as yet, but there has been discussion on it. Gary Luhowy: What controls would Council have as far as type of housing which would take place in this development? Ron Watkin: I would have to think that the multiple dwellings and single family dwellings will certainly not be affordable housing They won't be the $100,000.00 dollar town house developments that you see. Most will be the very high upper class housing. The market will determine that. Gary Lohowy: So whether its low income or expensive condos, it's up to the Developer and Council has very little control. Ron Watkin: Council certainly can't regulate that, it will probably be a very high profile area. Gary Lohowy: Mr. Hall stated earlier that with respect to the minutes being kept, that it was to be shown on record that the meeting be adjourned for the sake of seating and opportunity to review the extensive deputation here. Reeve Drury: We are taping the meeting here tonight and parts will be transcribed and copies will be available once Council has approved them. It will be a lengthy document. - 10 - Ted Duncan: I live on the Bass Lake Side Road and I have two questions. I notice you had asked a couple of people to leave tonight and I think you would have had a problem if you were trying to get the O.P.P. to come to do it. Down where I live it takes about 15 or 20 minutes for the police to get there. What consideration has been made about policing this area? With this type of development and the amount of young people which could result in motorbikes and trespassing of all kinds. What you will have here is a more urban area within a rural setting and all the farm land around this development will be affected. In this concession it is policed by Barrie. The other question I have deals with fire protection. If they had a major fire in a townhouse development with a number of units tied together, they're going to need more than one small pumper truck from Rugby to put them out. What your about here is the need for a new hall and maybe two fire trucks. I hope you will find it necessary to hold another public meeting and let us know tonight when it is going to be. I know you are here to just consider this proposal and I respect that, but I also think you should be looking at the long term development of Oro. Marion Saila: I have a 200 acre farm on the 10th which goes right back to the 9th. I have not got a fenced property on the back and for some years we have had much trouble with bikers and other all terrain vehicles coming through. I understand Mr. Duncan's concern as we too have had to call the police out several times. What frightens me, and a lot of people about this development, is your talking people pollution. We are going to have more people in that subdivision than there is in the Town of Coldwater. They have enough problems of their own, with a complete Council, looking after that number of people. What is proposed here is a town, suddenly created by immaculate perception, dropped right into our backyard. Linda Kingsley: I've only been here for two months and I just came tonight to see what my Council was doing and what was going on. What I would like to know is what your feelings are on having another public meeting in order that this can be all sorted out. Don't forget that there's a lot of professional people on this side of the room too. Jack Segal: I am a biologist and I own a chunk of the wetland downstream from the bison pond. Hopefully they no more about development than they do about animals. I've looked over this development proposal very briefly and based on - 11 - Jack Segal: (Cont'd) what is written there from a biological standpoint is that the development is definitely encroaching on the wetlands and will seriously erode this area. My second concern is the quality of life. Whenever that term is raised, I think one has to define it and for me that means a rural lifestyle. Due to the malignancy of the Markham area, I was driven out of that area due to the quality of life and the erosion of it. I have found that quality again here, and I really don't look forward to to move on again. I would like to be able to speak out in support of this development but I really can't think of any points that support it and I certainly believe it is the Council's job to evaluate whether it is a pro or con to the Township and the area, and you can only do that after you have heard both sides. We need to be looking atlong term decision making and long term solutions. Ann Metcalfe: I spoke to Council last fall about a recycling progam and it's been pushed back, where is all the garbage going from this place. I just heard from my next door neighbour (we live on the 6th Concession) that you are planning a dump across from me. Reeve Drury: We certainly aren't aware of anything proposed for Concession 6 at this time. We are proceeding with a recycling program in Oro Township, commencing July 1st this year, with complete Township wide garbage pick-up and disposal. Each and every person will pay their share of the garbage disposal and recycling. This development or any future development will not cause undue burden on other residents of Oro Township. Our landfill site has a good many years left in it, probably more than any other landfill site in Ontario. Paul Ego: Robert Small has a letter that I sent in earlier for Council to read, and myse and possibly a few others here, are in favour of this development. You realize what is in the soil of the wetlands now, because right now there are elk and buffalo running around that area. What more can cause damage to the lands thæ the elk and buffalo haven't already done? We have problems with silt running off the buffalo lands right now into our adjoining land on Concession 9. I also see a safety problem with the narrow roads in the Township, especially at the 9th Line because you can't see both ways - I've had several near accidents. Since I have lived here all my life, I would much rather see a safer Oro Township, even though I do like to see areas being preserved. - 12 - Paul Ego: (Cont'd) I would guess that we probably travelled past at least several thousand acres of wetlands just to get here. I think the development planned for this area is a good one and will benefit the farmers by selling their produce because the more people who live locally buy locally. Brenda Brown: I live on Horseshoe Valley Road and if you've ever been up there on a Friday or Sunday afternoon to see the cottagers travelling that road, you would certain know that the estimated traffic on that road is way out of line. When you add 572 homes with 2 cars per home, to the volume of traffic already on that road, that really concerns me and the safety of my children. Lillian McConnell: How are you going to notify us of the next meeting. Are you going to circulate a mailing list around this room with all our names and addresses on it or by that one tiny piece on the back of the Packet that nobody can find? Reeve Drury: I guess if we were going to notify you all by mail there would be some of you in here that we may miss. Lillian McConnell: There's a list done already, I've signed it. Reeve Drury: Can you assure me that everyone in here are the only people who are concerned for this development? If that is your request make sure the mailing address and postal codes are correct. Ted Duncan: Has anyone thought of what the cost will be to not only the Township but also the County, to reconstruct County Road No. 22. When you think of the number of people who travel along that road now and the number proposed to travel on it, what we need is a good road without any dips and dives. Your going to have people from urban centres buying these homes and they are going to demand a good road and this is going to burden the Township and the County ultimately. Ross Raymond: If this meeting hasn't been an exercise in democracy, then I'm not really sure what it is. I have certainly made a lot of notes and as I have indicated earlier that as proposers of this development, it is our responsibility to bring the answers to the Municipality and to you. I would certainly support the idea of an additional meeting and it would be in your hands as to when it will be. I would like to comment on the matter about the Developer having some rights to force the development onto the Municipality. We did not come here with the intention of forcing this development on this area. We came here to make a proposal and to ask the people of the area and the Council, to give it their consideration. That is what we have asked and sincerely hope that is the spirit in which we carryon. - 13 - , . Ross Raymond: (Cont'd) We are ready to do as we promised and as the material is prepared tc try to resolve the concerns mentioned, will be provided to the Municipality as a central place where they can be seen and examined. We did suggest that we would give copies directly to the association which has just been formed in the immediate area of the proposal and we will certainly do that. I continue to hope that the process will be seen as one of trying to ensure that everyone has the information that they require in order to make a proper decision. Leslie Saila: I have lived in that area since 1967 and I don't think that anyone knows the area as well as I do, I've riden it every day of my life. There's an area on Township property where kids go on their recreational vehicles. There's broken glass and debris all over the place up there. Where do you think these kids in this deve are going to go? Reeve Drury: At this time I would like to ask Counc to recess for a few minutes to try and set a date for the future public meeting. The meeting recessed at 10:05 p.m. and reconvened at 10:10 p.m. Reeve Drury: The next public meeting for this proposal will be on Monday, July 10th, 1989 at the Oro Township Arena at 7:00 p.m. The Reeve in closing the meeting, thanked all those in attendance for their participation and advised that Council would consider all matters before reaching a decision. Motion No.1 Moved by Johnson, seconded by Burton Be it resolved that we do now adjourn this Special Meeting of Council at 10:10 p.m. Carried. /}~ r f];;;: ReeVe Robert E. ~ C~ll . '"-~-.- "-~--
