Report No. To: Prepared By: PD 2005-007 Planning Advisory Committee Chris Jones and Andria Leigh Subject: Department: Council Mike and Colleen Gartner, Planning Zoning By-law Amendment C.ofW. Application 2005-ZBA-04, Date: Concession 3, Part of Lots 27 February 8, 2005 Motion # and 28, 51 R-25104, Part 1 R.M. File #: (Oro) Date: RolI#: 010-007-211 (I BACKGROUND: ~ On December 22, 2004 an application for a Zoning By-law Amendment was submitted by Michael and Colleen Gartner, owners of Part of Lots 27 and 28, Concession 3 (Oro) located at 1847 Ridge Road, directly east of the Shanty Bay Public School. The purpose of the application is to obtain site specific exceptions to comprehensive Zoning By-law 97-95 to permit the replacement of an existing two-storey boathouse with a new two-storey boat house. The application was submitted by Mr. Gerry Jorden, MCIP, RPP, Planning Consultant for the applicant. A copy of a site plan that identifies the lands subject to the application is attached to this report (Attachment #1). The purpose of this report is to review and summarize the application, determine if any additional information is necessary, and provide Planning Advisory Committee with a recommendation on how to proceed with the application. II DETAILS OF APPLICATION: ~ The lands are subject to a Provisional Consent which was granted on December 16, 2004 to sever a shoreline lot having a shoreline frontage of 45.7 metres and area of 1.88 hectares. The retained lot, which is subject to this application for rezoning, has a shoreline frontage of 84 metres and a lot area of about 3.2 hectares. Currently, the lot subject to this application is occupied by the following 6 buildings: 1. A cottage dwelling; 2. An accessory garage to the cottage dwelling; 3. An accessory garage to a previously demolished primary dwelling; 4. A small storage shed; 5. A small concrete storage building on the waterfront; and, , 60,7 L 6. A two storey boathouse. It is noted that all of the existing structures mentioned above are proposed to be removed as part of the redevelopment of the lot. It is also noted that the current boathouse has a total floor area of 88 m2 (948 ft2) and a height of 9.1 metres (measured at the high water mark). Based on a site inspection, it does not appear the second storey of the existing boathouse has recently been used as a living space, although it is understood this area was historically used for guest accommodation. It is the intent of the applicant to redevelop the shoreline property by building a new dwelling with a proposed floor area of 557.4 m2 (6,000 fe) together with a two storey boat house with a total floor area of 263 m2 (2,830 fe). The first floor of the boathouse is proposed to be used for boat storage and the second floor is proposed to serve as a guest premises, with bedrooms and a bathroom but without kitchen facilities. The following summary table should assist Committee in comparing the existing boathouse to the proposed boathouse: Summarv Table ComDarin Existina and Proposed Boathouses Existina Proposed Total Floor Area 88 m'" (948 ft"') 263 m< (2,830 ft"') Ground Floor Area 44 m< (474 ft<) 142 m" (1,530 ft2) Second Floor Area 44 m" (474 ft<) 121 m" (1,300ft") Heiaht 9.1 m (30 ft) 9.8 m (32 II) Second Storey Use StoraQe Guest Premises Kitchen/Bathroom No/No NoNes Boathouse Width at 5.6 m (18.5 ft) 13.4 m (44 It) Shoreline Coverage of Shoreline 6.7% 16% (as %) The specific zoning exceptions requested by the applicant are: 1. That the maximum height for a boathouse, established in Section 5.6 (g) of the Township's Zoning By- law of 4.5 metres (14.7 feet) above the elevation of average high water mark, be increased to 9.8 metres (32 feet); and, 2. That an exemption be granted from Section 5.6 (d) of the Zoning By-law to permit the second storey of the proposed boathouse to be used as an accessory guest premises providing sleeping and sanitary facilities, but no kitchen facilities. Section 5.6 (d) specifically states: 'Tboathouses are permitted], provided they are not used for human habitation and no kitchen or sanitary facilities exist". The following information was submitted in support of the application: A. Site Plans, Buildina Elevations. and Floor Plan The applicant has submitted two site plans of existing and proposed structures based on a reference plan prepared by Eplett and Worobec Surveying. Copies of both are attached (Attachment # 2 and # 3). The applicant's architect, Mr. Ted Handy, has prepared a floor plan of the proposed second floor of the boathouse. The floor plan proposes 2 bedrooms, 1 - 3 piece bathroom and a sitting area which opens onto a 10' x 14' deck. This floor plan is Attachment #4. The applicant has also submitted building elevations of all faces of the boathouse to characterize what the ultimate development of the lot would appear at the shoreline. These elevations are Attachments # 5 and 6. - 2 - 6(!.,~ '3 B. Plannina Reoort A planning report prepared by Mr. Gerry Jorden, MCIP, RPP, has also been submitted with the application which supports the zoning amendment. Mr. Jorden's report addresses the intent of the two zoning provisions from which the applicant is seeking relief and provides a planning rationale for each issue. A summary of Mr. Jorden's planning opinions are outlined below: ~ The Exemption for Height Mr. Jorden's opinion is that the reason for the maximum height limitation on boathouses is related to the following planning objectives: . To ensure the building does not dominate the shoreline and/or appear out of character with the shoreline environment; . To ensure the boathouse remains secondary to the primary dwelling; and, . To minimize impacts upon the views and vistas of neighbouring landowners. In his analysis of the applicant's proposal, Mr. Jorden provides the following rationale as to why these objectives will not be offended by the proposed height exemption: . The boathouse will be built into a 6 metre (20 It) shoreline ridge thereby giving the building a single storey appearance from the rear and significantly mitigating the building's apparent height as viewed from the lake; . The integration of the boathouse into the ridge, the two-storey configuration of the residence and the siting of the boathouse to the side of the lot will collectively assist in ensuring that the residence is the principle building on the property; . The 9.8 metre (32 It) height of the proposed boathouse is almost identical to the approximate 9.1 metre (30 It) height of the existing boathouse; . The face of the cottage will cover only 16% of the shoreline of the lot; . The vacant lot closest to the proposed boathouse (subject to Provisional Consent) is currently owned by the applicant and the future development of the lot would not be compromised by the proposed boathouse; and, . The proposal results in very little change from the built form established by the current boathouse. ~ The Exemption for Guest Accommodation and Sanitary Facilities Mr. Jorden characterizes the need for the prohibition in the Zoning By-law on living space in boathouses as being necessary to limit one dwelling unit to one property which in turn provides a greater level of control over environmental (servicing) impacts, changes to the shoreline character and other social or physical impacts. However, in his report it is concluded that in this instance, these issues are not as relevant for the following reasons: . The applicant's intent is only for temporary guest accommodation and not a bona fide dwelling unit; . The boathouse would use the same septic system as the main dwelling; . Overall, the proposal represents a positive redevelopment of a shoreline property in decline; and, . The proposal is entirely in keeping with the character of this specific area of shoreline which is reflective of large lot, vegetated, estate style shoreline development. - 3 - ~ I .:>~- ~- I ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED: ~ The information provided by the applicant has been detailed and helpful in conveying the intent of the proposal. At this juncture the information submitted by the applicant appears sufficient to allow the application to be appropriately assessed, however it would be prudent for the applicant to report to staff on two other items prior to a public meeting. These issues include: . Obtaining comments from the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority with respect to whether a work permit for shoreline works can be obtained; and, . Providing a description of specifications for the septic system that would be required to accommodate the proposed dwelling and boathouse. ~ COMMENTS RECEIVED: ~ On January 12th, 2005 the application was circulated for inter-departmental and agency comments. The following comments have been received to date: 1. Simcoe County District School Board - no objection; 2. County of Simcoe - no comment; 3. Roads Department - no objection; 4. Clerk's Department - general concerns with respect to height; 5. Municipal Works Department - no concerns; and, 6. Building Department - concerns with allowing a washroom in a boathouse. II ANALYSIS: I The subject lands are designated Rural and Shoreline in the Oro-Medonte Official Plan. The property is split between the Rural designation for the northern half of the property adjacent to the Ridge Road and the Shoreline designation for the southern half of the property adjacent to Lake Simcoe. Given the proposal (shoreline development) and requested zoning exemptions, the Official Plan policies most applicable to this application are contained in Section 010 (Shoreline). According to Section 010, there are three primary objectives of the Shoreline designation: . to maintain the existing character of this residential area; . to protect the natural features of the immediate shoreline; and, . to ensure development is appropriately serviced with water and sewer services. On the issue of maintaining character of the shoreline, we are in agreement with Mr. Jorden's opinion that this property is located in an area of the Oro-Medonte shoreline that features large lots, wider shoreline frontages and larger estate style homes. While the provision of accessory uses such as guest houses may seem at odds with what is viewed as appropriate for the majority of the Oro-Medonte shoreline, the character of this area is distinct when compared to the character of other parts of the Oro-Medonte shoreline which feature narrow shoreline frontages, small lots and smaller dwellings. In the assessment of this application it is valid to rationalize this distinction to determine if the nature of the requested exemption is reasonable. At this point it is difficult to establish that the proposal is unreasonable or represents bad planning solely in the context of protecting the character of the shoreline. - 4 - b",-S With respect to the intent of the Official Plan to protect natural features in the shoreline, it is noted that the Zoning By-law provides the right to utilize up to 30% of a shoreline frontage for a boathouse. In this case the applicant proposes to use about 16%. Given the stated intent of the Plan to protect natural features in the shoreline, there may be merit in considering the proposed height exemption given that it would result in less of the natural shoreline being developed than would be permitted as-of-right by the Zoning By-law. In addition to the above, it is reiterated that the subject lands are currently occupied by a 2 storey boathouse. Given that the intent of the proposal is to substantially replace this boathouse in the same location, it is probable that the overall impact upon natural features in the shoreline will be low. However, the comments and involvement of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, through their shoreline work permit authority are necessary and important to this proposal. The Shoreline policies of the Official Plan also speak to the need for appropriate sewer and water servicing for new development. Although the applicant has not specifically addressed this issue, given the size of the lot, (3.2 hectares) it is unlikely that the applicant would not be able to engineer an appropriate septic system and water supply. However, it is suggested the applicant prepare and submit a sketch and specifications for the proposed septic system that would be used for the new house and guest premises. Finally, concerns that this application may represent a precedent or will lead to requests for the establishment of second dwelling units are acknowledged. In response, it is suggested that while the applicant is requesting exemptions from the Township's Zoning By-law, these exemptions respect the intent of the Official Plan. On the basis of the above, it is recommended that the application proceed to a public meeting in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act in order to provide an opportunity for public comment. J RECOMMENDATION(S): II It is recommended: 1. THAT Report PD 2005-007 (Gartner) be received and adopted; and 2. That the Planning Advisory Committee recommend to Council that Zoning By-law Amendment Application 2005-ZBA-04, Part of Lot 27 and 28, Concession 3 (Oro), proceed to a Public Meeting in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act.

Report No. To: Prepared By: PD 2005-008 Planning Advisory Committee Andria Leigh Subject: Department: Council Ian and Lori Webb, Official Planning Plan Amendment Application C.ofW. 2005-0PA-02, Concession 11, Date: North Part of Lot 3 (Medonte) Februarv 9, 2005 Motion # A.M. File #: Date: RolI#: 020-010-15000 t BACKGROUND: I In January 2004 an application for an Official Plan Amendment was submitted by Ian and Lori Webb, owners of North Part of Lot 3, Concession 11 (Medonte) located at 3808 Une 11 North. The purpose of the application is to obtain site specific exceptions to the Official Plan to permit the severance of the existing veterinary clinic located on the property. The purpose of this report is to review and summarize the application, determine if any additional information is necessary, and provide Planning Advisory Committee with a recommendation on how to proceed with the application. ~ DETAILS OF APPLICATION: I The subject property is a total of 19.8 ha (49 acres) and currently contains the following buildings: 1. A single detached dwelling; 2. An accessory garage (under construction); 3. An agricultural building; 4. A veterinary clinic. A copy of a letter with supporting attachments from the applicant that outlines the proposal is attached for the Committee's review. (Attachment #1). The specific exception requested by the applicant is for a new policy under Section 02.4 - Exceptions to permit the creation of a new lot for the existing veterinary clinic. . OJ - 2 II COMMENTS RECEIVED: t The application has been circulated for inter-departmental and agency comments. At the time of writing this report no comments had been received. A verbal update will be provided at the time of the meeting in this regard. II ANALYSIS: I The subject property is designated Agricultural in the Township's Official Plan and is subject to the policies contained in Section 02. Section 02.1 establishes the objectives of this designation as follows: . To maintain and preserve the agricultural resource base of the Township. . To protect land suitable for agricultural production from development and land uses unrelated to agriculture. . To promote the agricultural industry and associated activities and enhance their capacity to contribute to the economy of the Township. . To preserve and promote the agricultural character of the Township and the maintenance of the open countryside. Permitted uses in this designation include agricultural related commercial uses which could include veterinary clinics. The development policies contained in this section provide for the creation of new lots for agricultural purposes and the creation of new lots for non-agricultural purposes (bona fide retiring farmers and infilling). The applicant's proposal to create a lot for the veterinary clinic does not meet the policies for either of these purposes specifically. Currently the Official Plan looks at agricultural use as meaning specialty croplands, organic farms, or market gardens. A veterinary clinic would be more of an agriculturally related use. The applicant has applied for a consent for a new lot for agricultural purposes in 2001; however the application was deferred by the Committee of Adjustment as the Committee could not determine that the veterinary clinic was a specialized agricultural use in accordance with the Official Plan. In reviewing the policies it is clear that a veterinary clinic was not contemplated as a specialized agricultural use; although such a use is permitted by the Plan. The Township's Zoning By-law 97-95, as amended, permits a veterinary clinic in the Agricultural/Rural (AlRU) zone with a minimum lot area requirement of 4 ha (9.8 acres). The applicant was prepared in 2001 to sever a 4 ha parcel in order to ensure compliance with the Zoning By-law requirements. Similar to the policies that apply to the specialized agricultural uses, if the lot is created for the veterinary clinic it should be placed in a site specific zone that prohibits development of residential use to ensure the intended use of the property is for the veterinary clinic or other agricultural use. The Committee should discuss with the applicant how they believe the intended exception will conform with the objectives of the Agricultural designation identified above. No other additional information appears to be required from the applicant to ensure sufficient information is available to understand the nature of the application. On the basis of the above, it is recommended that the application proceed to a public meeting tin accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act in order to provide an opportunity for public comment. - 2 - 'G~.>3, I RECOMMENDATION(S): I It is recommended: 1. THAT Report PD 2005-008 (Webb) be received and adopted; and 2. That the Planning Advisory Committee recommend to Council that Official Plan Amendment Application 2005-0PA-02, North Part of Lot 3, Concession 11 (Medonte), proceed to a Public Meeting in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act.

Box 100 Oro, Ontario LOL 2XO To whom it may concem: I am making an application to rezone a small acreage accompanying my veterinary facility, from the balance of my property. The rezoning is to be of a commercial designation. The proposed rezoning win hopefully facilitate the severance of this acreage; the size to be determined with your recommendation. OriIIia and District Veterinary Services has operated since 1990. It is centrally located within Oro-Medonte (Line 11 North - 1 mile north of Horseshoe valley Road). It services the residents of Oro-Medonte as well as the adjoining townships. The veterinary facility, with respect to my residence, is housed in a separate facility with ample separation. It has its own entrance, hydro, water and septic system. A site plan was completed for a final addition. To my knowledge there have been no complaints raised with respect to the ongoing operations of this facility. The rezoning/severance process has no intention of changing the existing nature of operations at OrilIia & District Veterinary Services. To have the veterinary facility as a stand alone entity would remove a considerable restraint as to its ongoing viability and growth potential. The business is somewhat unique in that only a licensed veterinarian can own and operate a veterinary facility. ('If eterinarians Act) see attachment. G~- 5 Practically speaking, if for whatever reasons I am unable to be licensed as a veterinarian the options for myself and wife are: I. To close the practice, sell the business, the balance of my persona! property and my persona! residence as a whole (a formidable task) and move. Associate veterinarians are not allowed to continue to work un1ess they are owners. 2. Partia! ownerships with potentia! veterinarians would be difficult as my personal residence would be involved. Also potential partners may not want the additional expense of the residence and acreage of the fann. 3. Close the practice and continue to reside in my persona! residence. Not a good scenario for the community. 4. Lease out the veterinary facility. Not a good scenario for the ongoing viability and growth. Clearly, having the veterinary facility as a sma!ler separate entity would remove or lessen some of the restraints, both business and personal, imposed by having it attached to the balance of my property. Orillia & District Veterinary Services, I feel has contributed significantly to the community of Oro-Medonte and the surrounding area. It provides a much needed infiastructure, as do other health care facilities, to the growth and development of our community. It currently employs 2 full time veterinarians, I full time office manager, 2 full time veterinary technicians, I full time receptionist, & 2 part time receptionists. All of whom earn wages in excess of industry standards. A copy of 2003 year end payroll is attached. We have participated in the Ontario Veterinary Colleges extern ship program, training veterinary students in the summer preceding their entry into their final year. Several of whom are practising locally. The clinic has also contributed extensively to the loca! co-op education programs of a!1 three high schools training numerous potentia! technical candidates. I am well aware of councils desire to maintain a "rural character" within Oro-Medonte. I support this philosophy as well. However we must a!so support growth, development, and maintenance of community services. I feel this rezoning will not jeopardize this balance. I appreciate your time in considering this application. Before making your final decision I would invite a!1 interested parties to drop in and tour the facility at your convenience.

The Ontario Veterinary College Externship program is a mandatory portion of the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree program. Students entering the [mal year of the DVM program are required to spend time refining their skills with accomplished practitioners during the summer preceding their final year in school at Guelph. Orillia and District Veterinary Services have been valuable associates in the College's ability to provide this program and train graduating veterinarians in the most effective manner. We would not be able to offer this program without the cooperation of Dr. Webb and his staff.

C~~~p CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATIon SImCOE counTt] April 8, 2004 Council of the Corporation of Township ofOro Medonte Dear Council members Over the years, Dr. Ian Webb of the Orillia and District Veterinary Services has been a partner in education with the Simcoe County District School Board Co-op Education Program in Orillia. On behalf of the students and Co-op teachers, the Co-op Co-ordinators would like to express appreciation and gratitude for the excellent Co-op placement that Dr. Webb has continued to provide. He and his staff provided guidance and career education. and treated our students as mature adults with responsible roles. Students were given the opportunity to observe and assist veterinarians with surgeries, pre and post operation procedures, reception. administrative services and caring for animals. Students were able to apply the knowledge involved in Biology and Science to diagnose and understand the treatments, which were given to animals. Their hands-on experience caring for animals was invaluable and prompted many students to pursue the veterinary field. To round off their experience, students developed teamwork, organization, communication and entrepreneurial skills. In fact, some Co-op students were hired as part time and full time employees. The role of Orillia and District Veterinary Services, as our community partner for over ten years has been truly impressive. We look forward to working with Dr. Webb and his staff through their continuous support of the Co-operative Education program.

Orj]]ia & District Veterinary Services is a great asset to the people of Oro-Medonte Township and the practice should be allowed to grow, without any restraints. I am not sure if Council members realize that if Dr. Webb should, for whatever reason, be unable to work as a Veterinarian the Clinic may be forced to close its doors. The mandate set forth by the Ontario College of Veterinarians states that only a licensed Veterinarian can own and operate a Veterinary Clinic. In other words, if Dr. Webb was unable to continue practicing he and/ or Mrs. Webb would be forced to find a buyer for the entire property, including their home, or the Clinic would be closed. I am certain this would not be in the interest of the residents of Oro-Medonte Township. Dr. Webb has been very active in taking Co-op Students from OrilIia Schools, teaching and working with many veterinary students, several from Oro-Medonte township, during their internships. Dr. Webb also trains our troops destined for overseas, in the handling of injured animals during their combat missions. Dr. Webb is also strongly involved with the OrilIia Branch of the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. As a volunteer, he assisted with the design and construction of the new shelter and continues to offer his professional expertise whenever they have a need. This too is of great benefit to the residents of Oro- Medonte Township. Please do everything in your power to accommodate Dr. Webb's rezoning application.
