Review of Past Minutes and Past Business
.
MOT]ON: Moved by Ra]ph Hough, seconded by Rimi Kalinauskas, to adopt the April ]9th, 2002
minutes as presented. CARRJED.
At the special SSEA meeting on June 7, 2002, members were asked to approach their Councils
regarding the proposal rrom Environment Canada presented at that meeting and then bring their
municipality's top three environmental concerns to the Ju]y ] 9th meeting. Member Mark Tay]or
did go to Council in Severn Township where a Reso]ution was passed. Copies of that Reso]ution
have been sent to other members to be used as an example for their own Councils.
Bill Thompson noted that Mid]and Council will be meeting on Monday, Ju]y 22nd and he will at
that time be presenting the proposal rrom Environment Canada. The Town ofMid]anCl is currently
approaching the SSEA wjth regards to a remediation of a beach area. This will be treated as a
separate project and will generate income. Bill Thompson will also be approaching Council
regarding a proposal by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. They are reviewing the Great Lake
channels and are proposing navigational changes that could adversely affect water ]evels in Lake
Huron and Georgian Bay. The Georgian Bay Association is looking for support and the SSEA
office has sent a Jetter to Midland Council asking them to consider the implications and approach
other municipalities along the Great Lakes. Infonnation regarding this issue will be forwarded to
other members. The Town ofMid]and's motion regarding continuing support of the SSEA will
also be forwarded to members.
Simon Llewellyn noted that one municipal resolution will carry weight, but eight resolutions will
carry a Jot of weight in the Environment Canada proposal. He also asked that all infonnation and
correspondence regarding the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers be sent to his office as well. He may
be able to assist if comments and infonnation are forwarded to him.
Danny Epstein noted that his title is Regiona] Director of Environmental Protection, not
Restoration.
.
Ralph Hough wanted to clarifY that the SSEA would like two separate resolutions rrom Council.
The first regarding the proposed Environment Canada proposal and the second, support for the
opposition of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers pro po sa] for the navigational changes to the
-2-

Great Lakes.
Keith Shennan plans on doing a separate approach to Councils for support of the continuing work
with Environment Canana This subject will be discussed further in this agenda.
Notes ITom the Meeting on June 7, 2002 were accepted as information only.
3. Second Quarterly Report for 2002
,
Revenues: It was noted that the outstanding amount ITom Environment Canada hasn't been
received yet. There have a150 been proposals and contracts iTom others to the SSEA office which
will bring Tevenue in.
Expenditures: Portions of the amount listed under "undistnlmted" is ITom various proposals IUJd
Stage 3 that has yet to be allocated to individual projects and will be adjusted in the next quarter.
Sampling costs are higher. TnDutaries are being supported by other projects and will be allocated
accordingly. Bill Thompson inquired ifwe received a discount on the monitoring stations. Keith
Shennan stated that there is no discount avaiIab]e but we are approaching the MNR to take the
flow stations off our bands. Tbe Cost Sharing Agreement is now being taken oyer by the MNR
and they are going to review all stations that provide 10ng term data. Hogg Creek is one of the
10ng term stations and Keith will ensure that they make that station a priority. North River IUJd
Silver Creek will a150 be under review IUJd could be taken over by the MNR.
,
Many of the revenues will show up in the next quarter, once project work has been comp]eted IUJd
invoiced.
Ralph Hough asked ifwe will meet the budget for 2002. Keith Shennan stated that currentJy we
have fewer expenditures IUJd increased revenues, he is confident that we will meet the budget.
MOTION: Moved by Bob Coryell, seconded by Tom Elliott, to receive the 2nd Quarter Report
presented. CARRIED.

Forecast of Revenues
Keith Shennan provided a list of current projects that are either proposed (P) or confirmed (c).
We are IUJticipating a positive response to the Ontario Hea]thy Futures program with $505,000
going toward very specific Non-Point Source projects. We have applied to the Great Lakes
Sustainability Fund for other NPS projects IUJd wetIands restoration.

lq-Lj'
We are taking a more aggTessive approach on restoring coastal wetlands. We are working on a
Jong tenn sustainability strategy, continuing natural shorelines education and workshops,
identifYing areas for securement or municipal designation, and getting involved in several
cJassification projects. The proposal to continue the biological inventory oftbe Wye Valley was
not funded for this year.
Activity Report
An activity summary of the SSEA Office for January to June was distn"buted to members. Keitb
Sherman noted that mucb oftbe work to date has been on proposals including tbe Municipal
Groundwater Study, HeaJtby Futures, completion oftbe Stage 3 Report and year end reports for
various projects and programs; Keitb commended the SSEA staff and Rimi KaJinauskas for tbeir
efforts in compJeting the Stage 3 document. Bill Thompson added that be sent a letter to tbe
SSEA staff; thanking tbem for their hard work in making June 2200 sucb a success. He said that
everyone thought it was a great day but was disappointed in the local press. Simon Llewellyn
assured members that the event is get1ing a Jot of play in the US and outside of this immediate
area. We have had an impact and over time, peopJe will still be referring to tbe Severn Sound
RAP. It is getting a Jot of coveTage internationally.
4. Stage 3 Event
The Stage 3 Report is finished and available in print or on CD in PDF. Keith Shennan is still
receiving comments and is making notes on follow-up work that rnay resuJt nom tbe report. He is
also identij'ying specific items in the document that may require further action. Tbe Province is still
reviewing the implications of the compJetion of Stage 3. The SSEA is responsible for some items,
such as open water monitoring which will need some follow-up. Environment Canada was ready
to send the Stage 3 to tbe InternationaJ Joint Commission but the province refused to sign. We
still don't know what the Province's position is. We do know that tbe MIDistry of Natural
Resources is making a heavy commitment to fish and wildlife. Simon Llewellyn stated that be
would follow through with the Province.
Keith Sherman noted that he has had one meeting with two reviewers nom the International Joint
Commission nom the Washington and Ottawa offices. The JJC review of Stage 3 is happening
quickly. Simon LJewellyn stated that they have been keeping an eye on the US. They seem to be
more critical but added that Gail Krantzberg from the Windsor DC office bas doing a gTeat job in
keeping everyone on a balanced level. ThisdeJisting will set the standard on both sides of the
border. Simon would like to be kept infonned of any comments OT questions, through Rllni, that
may arise during tbe DC review process.
.
5. Sustainability
Keitb Sherman stated that we are now very close to having a delisted Area of Concern, but we
have an OTgaillzation in place to continue on with projects.

Danny Epstein noted that he was unable to reach Anna Kime :ITom MOEE to see if she would be
attending this meeting but Jan OTchard and Sheryl Lusk :ITom Environment Canada were in
attendance.
,
At the last meeting, we discussed two things:
. Toxics Strategy - There is a 10 year strategy in place right now with a number of
targets attached to it. One of these targets is mercury. They established a forum for
voluntary actions on both sides of the border and they are now halfway through
that strategy. However, the municipal sector has not been fully explored.
Environment Canada recognizes that 8 municipalities share this watershed and
there is already an association in place that would be able to coordinate an
inventory oftoxics under municipal control. This inventory will produce
recommendations to reducelrecycle that can be used in the sustainability plan.
Environment Canada is prepared to start this project immediately.
. Sustainable Communities - Danny Epstein asked what needs to be done to make
the municipalities comfortable. Environment Canada will be providing additional
funding for these two items as a separate project. The current SSEA Agreement
will not be open~ an addendum may be added.
Copies of the draft Melbourne Principles for Sustainable Cities :ITom the United Nations
Environment Programme(UNEP)/lnternational Council for Local Environmental Jssues(JCLEJ)
were distn"buted to members. These Principles will be presented to the Wor1d Summit in
JobJumesburg, South ADica later this summer, in draft, to promote sustainable communities.
Danny requested that they be considered draft "confidential" documents. They can be introduced
to Councils as part of the approach for a municipal Resolution but must remain "in confidence".
Jfurbanized gTOwth goes unchecked the environment will be challenged. To avoid this,
municipalities with technology and expertise to manage urban growth must transfer the
infonnation and mechanisms to those that need it. ICLEI is headquartered in Canada, initially set
up by the United Nations 10 years ago but now runs independently.
Simon Llewellyn stated that through discussions with UNEP, and tbeir search for a governance
model with watershed management, Severn Sound seemed to fit as a modeL What they want,
Severn Sound already has and we have proven examples of technology and expertise already in
place. What is being done locally, could also be done globally.
Danny Epstein stated that the Severn Sound Environmental Association would be an excellent
model for a number of reasons including:
. RAP is based on an ecosystem approach.
. We are now on tbe road to sustainability
. Severn Sound has a stable governance
-5-
10, -tc
The City of Melbourne has endorsed this plan but it is not necessary for us to endorse it.
Environment Canada would like confinnation that we will go forward, using the Melbourne
Principles to create a rramework for strategic thinking and build on the achievements we have
attained. The United Nations is interested in Severn Sound and would like us to use these
Principles to guide the rramework of a Sustainability Plan.
Bill Thompson asked if September Council meetings wouJd be timely for approaching Councils
since there isn't enough time to put something together for August Council meetings. Bill
Thompson wants this done right and by SeptembeT we will have a package together that can be
presented to Councils.
Danny Epstein stated that some of the work that Environment Canada wants to do now, the
Toxics Strategy and a rramework for a Sust1Iinable Community can begin immediately.
Environment Canada has made a financial commitment to fund both. He added that Environment
Canada did not get involved in the Severn Sound Environmental Association in 1997 only to have
it to go back to the way it was - it is a long tenn commitment. UNEP and JCLEJ would like to
announce at the World Summit, when it presents the Melbourne Principles, that the Severn Sound
Environmental Association will be using those PrincipJes as a rramework. This project is full of
potential and the SSEA \vill get international recognition for its efforts.
The basic principle is to apply baJanced social, economic and environmentaJ issues in decision
nJal9ng - look at the "triple bottom line", ( i.e. social, economic and environmental)
The 10 Melbourne Principles consist of:
1. Long Tenn Vision
2. Economic and Socjal Security
3. Recognizing Value of Biodiversity and naturaJ ecosystems
4. Minimize Ecologic Footprint
5. Build on the Characteristics of Ecosystems
6. Recognizing Distinctive Human and Cultural Values
7. Empowering People and Fostering Partnerships
8. Cooperative Networks
9. Promote Sustainable Production and Consumption
10. Accountability, Transparency and Good Governance
The next step is to develop a skeleton of a sustainability pJan for this area. Environment Canada
doesn't want us to endorse the Principles but use them to build a framework for a plan and then
identifY projects from that plan. They are not looking for financial support from the municipalities,
just support to forge ahead into the future. More opportunities exist and there will be more access
to funding if this project is endorsed by the SSEA. Bill Thompson stated that in members'
-6-
ler-l
approach to Council, they should be cJear that the project is not part of the original mandate of
the SSEA that Council prevjously but suggest to Council that they sbould buy into tbe new
project, presented as information only.
Danny Epstein asked what would be appropriate to say to UNEP. They wouJd like to say at the
Johannesburg Summit that these principles are in use in Severn Sound.
Dunc McLaren commented that ITom his perspective, as Chair oftbe Public Advisory Committee,
he would like to see all municipalities incJude a concept such as the Melbourne Principles into
their Official Plans. Bill Thompson stated that Official Plans are now being revised every 5 years
so it could be possible in tbe future.
Ralph Hough inquired why all of the references in the Melbourne Principles are to "cities". Danny
Epstein SUlted that the trend glohally is urbanizalion, but the principles are meant to go beyond
the term "city". It is not pTescriptive or specific. The idea is to take tbe principles and make them
relevant to your own area. Ralpb Hough noted that there isn't a city within Severn Sound. Dave
Parks stated that the term "community" could be used in this area, not "city". Simon Llewellyn
added that it refers to a geographic area.
Danny Epstein stated that tbe Principles can apply to any urban area. When the principles were
develope~ they were looking at a global reference. We have to take tbe approach that this is what
our community is about and how we are going to sustain it. A SuSUlinability Plan based on the
Melbourne Principles could be shared with a number of communities with indivjduaI
characteristics. There is no "one size fits all" solution.
Keith Sherman added that it could also be vjewed as a "cityshed" and SUlted that even New York
City bought farms to protect tbeir water source and initiated non-point source projects. He
commented that rapid urbanization is happening right bere in Severn Sound.
Simon Llewellyn had recently met "ith people ITom South Afiica and one of their biggest
concerns is keeping cattle out of tbe streams.
Bob Coryell said that he had initial concerns over the term "city" but now understands that the
principles can be applied anywhere. He SUlted that the Township ofTay would be supportive.
Bill Thompson suggested that the SSEA office package something for members to present to
Council.
Dave Parks stated that the project would fit into the Georgian Bay Township situation and added
that his Council would be very supportive of this long term plan. He added that fundamentally,
this is the next step because as a planner, sustainability will be part of all Official Plans over the
next few years.

Danny Epstein stated that his office will work with the SSEA office to develop a skeleton
sustainability plan.
Ralpb Hougb said that members have to go back to Council and tbey will want to see something.
Bill Thompson asked ifwe need a resolution. Keitb Shennan stated that a resolution fi-om tbe
SSEA members today will give tbem something to present in Soutb Africa. Danny Epstein said
that he doesn't want to pressure members to agTee but Keitb Shennan commented that tbe
opportunity is "now".
David Parks would support a motion at this meeting that the Sustainability Plan be pursued for
tbe future adding that I) it endorses OUT support, 2) a motion could be taken back to council and
3) the approacb is consistent with the SSEA mandate. The motion can reflect that tbe Melbourne
Principles can be used as a basis for a sustainability plan but we are going to be looking at any and
all components - not limiting ourselves.
MOTION: Moved by Dave Parks, seconded by Bob Coryell, that the Severn Sound
Envrronmental Association recommends that we pursue and develop a long tenn Sustainability
Plan that would provide a vision for the social, economic and environmental health of the
commumty, recognizing the full support of Environment Canada. CARRIED UNAN1MOUSL Y.
This motion will be carried out using tbe Melbourne Principles for Sustainable Cities.
,
Danny Epstein doesn't want to re-open the SSEA AgTeement but wants the deliverables and
additional funding clearly listed separately as perhaps an addendum. Simon Llewellyn stated that
they require some sort of mechanism to make the money flow. Keith Sherman stated that we
cannot re-open the AgTeement but we may be able do something with an addendum.
Danny Epstein reiterated that theTe is a commitment to provide funding but a mechanism is
required. He also noted that the Province has shown some interest in this project but is unsure of
what role they will play. Simon Llewellyn added that they will not let the Province drag this on or
stop what we are going to do but they will explore the partnership. MOEE has been infonned of
this project as a courtesy. Danny Epstein said that MOEE does know what is happening but he
doesn't know what their plans are and noted that the funding does not depend on MOEE
participation.
Keith Sherman stated that with the motion that has just been passed, we can now go ahead witb
the two items, the Toxics Strategy and tbe Sustainability Plan.
6. Other Business
Tom Elliott is concerned about two road works projects underway in Springwater Township for
the County of Simcoe. Both the township and the SSEA were not consulted.
-8-
(Cd:r
Dave Parks stated that ahhough the SSEA should have been consulted, if the Class EA work is
approved by the appropriate agencies, it doesn't require approval fi-om the SSEA
Keith Shennan stated that the SSEA office is often contacted regarding Class EA projects as a
stakeholder. Ifwe don't respond to the initial notice, we get dropped fi-om the information
distribution list. He also noted that the County's work on County Rd 19 is an issue because the
contractor may not following the County environmental standards. The matter has been turned
over to J\.1NR and DFO.
Keith Shennan noted that the SSEA office is getting algae complaints fi-om Sturgeon Bay
residents. He explained that it will appear in otheT areas of Severn Sound. It's a jelly-like ban of
algae that moves around in colonies and ends up on the surface and is not a nutrient contT01 issue,
just a nuisance.
Skins of the burrowing mayfly are also washing up on shore and we have been getting calls about
those as well. The mayflies only burrow in cJean sediment so their presence is welcome.
7. Adjournment and Next Meeting
Bill Thompson thanked everyone for staying longer.
Meeting Adjourned at 1 :45 pm

Deputation to Oro-Medonte Township Council
August 18,2002
Mr. Mayor and Councillors:
I am making a deputation this evening for several reasons. One of these
reasons is to express support for some of your stated objectives. I am
referring to an article in the September 2002 issue of the Huronia Business
Times. I wish to take several quotes from this article. For example: We're
pro-development and business said Councillor Paul Marshall. On the other
hand we have to protect the environment. He points out that the residents in
his township can enjoy the benefits of rural living and still be close enough
to an urban centre to take advantage of all the amenities. The residents want
to keep the area rural said Marshall. They support the township's
environmental focus Township planner Andrea Leigh added. In keeping
with its environmental focus, the township is currently undertaking two
studies to look at how to protect ground water and to explore ways to
minimize the impact of gravel pits. Water is a big issue in the township said
Leigh, pointing out most residents rely on wells for drinking water. We
have to ensure development isn't having a negative impact on the health of
the moraine. I support all of the above quotation.
These stated objectives become confusing when applied to a recent Council
decision to ratify a proposal for a tots playground at Pods Lane, known as
site MI 9. There is a distinct possibility that the development at site MI9
may have a negative impact on the ground water in the area. The Township
CAO has said in Committee ofthe Whole that she consulted with the
township hydrogeologist and was told that there would be no impact on the
ground water. I have asked on two occasions for a written copy of this
consultation but have received none. At a meeting about the Oro Moraine in
late August, the hydrogeologist was asked about his opinions of the ground
water impact at site M19. He said he has never set foot on the site and has
never been asked for his assessment of the site. It is now understandable
why there has been no written report available as per request.
.'
f"" '"
....
-
I am requesting that the playground equipment that is slated for site M19 be
installed at site M21 by the fire hall on Line 4 until it has been proven
conclusively that development at site M19 will not negatively impact the
ground water in that area. A formal hydrogeological study involving bore
holes would be a creditable way of determining the actual impacts, if any, on
the ground water in the area. This study would be in line with the stated
objectives of this township. As this process is being done, the children in
the area would have access to the playground equipment at site M21.
There are many other issues pertaining to the ratification of the playground.
It is expected that the results of a thorough hydrogeological study of site
M19 would reduce the need to address those issues. lfthe township
performs the hydrogeological study, those issues will be placed on hold
pending the results ofthe study.
In conclusion, I am making two equally important requests. I am asking that
a thorough hydrogeological study of site M19 be conducted and that the
playground equipment planned for site M19 be temporarily installed at site
M21 pending the outcome of the study so that the children will have access
to a playground without delay.

the effectiveness of policy guidelines in protecting water quality, heritage resources, natural
resources and habitat and the environment within the municipality; and
the continuing appropriateness of the ]and designated Industrial in the Highway 11 corridor. This
would include examining access, location, and servicing issues, and the supply and demand for these lands
within a 20 year planning horizon
On May 8 a public meeting was held to determine the need for revision to the Official Plan at which time
the attached comments were received (Attachment #1). At the conclusion of that meeting the foHowing

Tape Transcription as follows:
Marilyn Pennycook - "Moved by Councillor Fountain, Seconded by
Councillor Hughes, be it resolved that the agenda for the Special Council
Meeting of Wednesday, May 8th, 2002 to discuss the need for revisions for the
Official Plan be received and adopted."
Mayor Craig - "Any questions? All those in favour? Motion is carried.
I would like to follow the agenda on the disclosure of pecuniary interest and
the general nature thereof - in accordance with the Act. Is anyone declaring
a pecuniary interest this evening? I see none. I wish to advise members of
Council and members of the public that Councillor Paul Marshall, today after
our regular Committee Meeting, on his return home learned of a death in his
family and so that is why he is not present this evening. Our thoughts and
prayers go out to him and his family tonight.
Item 5 on the agenda is the deputations. Andria Leigh, our Township Planner,
will provide the background of the need for revisions and amendments to the
Official Plan and the process under the Planning Act. Before Andria begins, I
also want to advise Council and members of th e public that this meeting is
being recorded this evening. Normally Council Meetings are not recorded
under our procedural by-law, however, I as the Mayor, or Members of Council
may decide to allow recording devices to be used. I've asked that staff use
the recording device this evening because of the number and nature of the
deputations involved so that we don't miss anything that's being said.
Andria?"
Andria Leigh - "Thank you Your Worship. Mayor, Members of Council.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen. As the Mayor has indicated, the
purpose of tonight's meeting is to determine the need for revisions to the
Official Plan that has been adopted for Oro-Medonte Township and it was
adopted by this Council in February of 1997. So it's just slightly five years old
at this point in time.
Essentially the process that the municipality has to go through is done in
accordance with the Municipal and the Planning Act and what the Planning
Act says is that at least every five years you must review the Official Plan and
determine if it's still appropriate and determine if it still meets the assumptions
and the policies that you're looking at and to ensure that it still meets what's
called the Provincial Policy Statements. And, I'll go into those a little further.
Essentially the Provincial Policy Statements are intended to provide provincial
direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning
3
specifically. And those are intended to be complemented at the local level by
the local official plan in regards to any issues that the municipality finds are of
local significance.
Just a little bit of background for anyone that may not be familiar with what an
Official Plan is. Essentially it's a land use planning document that's intended
to provide the policy context of all land use decisions that the municipality
makes. It is supposed to take into consideration any economic, social and
environmental impact of the land use and development decisions that the
council makes for this municipality. It's intended as a broad land use policy
document and the policies are then implemented through zoning by-laws and
through other land use documents. Once the Official Plan is in effect for a
municipality, no public work is intended to be undertaken and no by-law
should be passed by this Council that does not conform with that Official Plan
document.
An Official Plan is intended to contain goals, objectives and policies that
are intended to guide the decisions of the public authority, including
Council, and any private interest in order to maintain the township as a
livable and attractive community. The current Official Plan, as I've said,
was adopted on February 5th, 1997, by this Council. Its purpose was to
manage change, protect the natural heritage system of Oro-Medonte and
promote the stewardship of the Township's resources so that they are
available for all future generations and to do so in a way that had the
greatest positive impact on the quality of life that our residents currently
enjoy in Oro-Medonte. And that's what we found back in 1997 was a
feature for most of the residents of our municipality, that was why they
desired to live in the community that they were in - the positive quality of
life they received by being in a rural community.
The current Official Plan that was adopted in 1997 is intended to serve as the
basis for managing all changes in the community for a period of twenty years.
The document that was done in 1997 was a comprehensive Official Plan
subsequent to amalgamation to ensure that the policies for all of Oro-Medonte
as it then existed were appropriate for all residents, as opposed to the five
previous Official Plans that we were dealing with. The intent of this five- year
review in determining the need for revisions is not to recap that two- year
process that was done back in 1997. It is not intended that this would be a full
comprehensive Official Plan review at this time. The intent is to look at the
existing exceptions in the Official Plan, look at the existing vision, look at the
existing pillars and principals of development and ensure that they're still
appropriate - that there hasn't been significant changes in the last five years
that requires some changes to those existing pillars.
4
The Official Plan is intended to provide Council with the land use tools to
consider and mitigate any impact of change on the qualities that make the
Township a desirable place to live. The Council of the municipality, in
carrying out their duties, under the responsibility of the Planning Act and land
use decisions, is required to both consider the provincial interest but also to
consider, now, the County of Simcoe Official Plan and the efforts of your
municipality. And that is one of the items that we would have to look at as
part of this review is to ensure that because our Official Plan was adopted
prior to the County of Simcoe Official Plan that all policies do conform with the
County as the upper tier authority.
Any proposed changes that Council would look at as part of this revision
process would be adopted by this Council and then forwarded to the County
of Simcoe as the final approval authority before those policies would then
come into force and affect. Essentially, as part of the existing Official Plan,
Section J-6 of that Official Plan identifies the need for a five- year review
process. It states that, "the assumptions, the objectives and the policies of
the plan shall be reviewed at least once every five years at a meeting of
Council and that five year review should consist of an assessment of the
continuing relevance of the vision that forms the basis for all the policies found
in the plan, the degree to which the objectives of the plan have been met, the
effectiveness of the policies in the plan, solving problems and realizing the
desires of the municipality, and the effectiveness of the policy guidelines in
protecting water quality, heritage, resources, natural resources and habitat
and the environment within the municipality. And the final point as part of that
assessment was to review the continuing appropriateness of the land
designated industrial in the Highway 11 corridor.
One of the things I'd like to indicate is that although a review is done every
five years, it has been this Council's practice not to wait the five years if they
felt there was something that needed to be considered prior to that time and
there certainly are some examples. As part of our discussions over the last
five years, we've determined that there weren't sufficient policies in the Official
Plan to address major recreational components and applications coming in
whether it was a golf course, a new ski facility or a mountain bike facility.
Those types of applications really weren't contemplated as part of the Official
Plan. There were no clear-cut policies or direction as to where those types of
facilities, if they were considered appropriate, should be located. So then the
municipality did an Official Plan amendment and adopted some new major
recreational policies to give guidance both to our existing residents and to
anyone looking into the community as to where those types of uses are now
considered appropriate.
-
5
The other two components the Council has initiated already and will be
combined as part of the five- year review are two additional studies that are
currently underway. They would both form Official Plan policy amendments.
One relates to reviewing the land use policies that are currently within the Oro
Moraine and determining the appropriateness of those planning policies -
whether they are effective in the protection of the Moraine. And the second is
to look at the aggregate resources and the designations within the
municipality currently which are across the entire municipality and determine if
the policies that are in there are appropriate, if there are issues related to call
routes or environmental concerns that aren't addressed adequately through
those existing policies. Both of those are currently underway. They each
have steering committees that are made up of members of Council and
members of the public and mernbers of different agencies like "The
Conservation Authority". Those are intended that there would be Official Plan
amendment policies that would emanate from both of those groups that would
be considered by Council as part of this five-year review.
Essentially after the meeting tonight the intent is to hear any comments. If
anybody thinks of something after the meeting or wants to put their comments
in writing, we would ask that those comments be submitted by the 30th of May
so that they could be considered by Council. The intent is that all cornments
would be reviewed and that the direction would be that a work program would
be presented to Council once this meeting is over so that they can have an
idea of the types of policies they need to review and the time frame for
reviewing those policies. It is not intended that this is going to be the only
public rneeting available for people to provide comments. As part of that work
program, it would be recommended that there were certain dates for
deputations to Council and for a formal public meeting at the end of the
process in regard to any proposed policy amendments.
Your Worship, I believe those are my comments in regards to the intent of the
meeting."
Mayor Craig - "Thank you Andria. Perhaps if you will remain there, I 'II ask
members of Council if they have any questions for Andria on her
deputation?..............Thank you Andria. Madam Clerk do we have a motion
on the deputation from Andria Leigh?"
Marilyn Penny cook - "Yes Your Worship. Moved by Councillor Fountain,
seconded by Councillor Hughes, be it resolved that the information presented
by Andria Leigh, Township Planner, regarding the background on the need for
.q'
,
6
revision amendments to the Official Plan and the process under the Planning
Act be received."
Mayor Craig - "Any questions? All in favour? Motion is carried.
Item 6 on our agenda is communications and we have received
correspondence on this matter. Madam Clerk do you have a motion?"
Marilyn Pennycook - "Moved by Councillor Hughes, seconded by Councillor
Fountain, be it resolved that the correspondence received from:
Irena-W (Versha) Szczebior, Robert Spears, Thom & Bonnie Hammond,
Angela M. Rudy, Rudy & Associates, Brandi L. Clement, The Jones
Consulting Group Lt., Paul Miller and Larry Erwin as well as Cheryl Shindruk,
Jack Jeremy, Mary Myer, Catharina and Peter Mulder and Donald Hanney re:
the need for revisions/amendments to the Official Plan be received."
Mayor Craig - "Any questions? All in favour? Motion is carried.
At this time Council, we are going to entertain further deputations from the
audience."
Councillor Hough - "If I may, Mr. Mayor, I do apologize but on the last
resolution, I think I just missed it but there was correspondence that we got
from Donald Hanney. Was that included in the list?"
Marilyn Pennycook - "Yes."
Mayor Craig - "We're going to entertain deputations this evening Council
from members of the audience who wish to provide comments to Council on
the issue tonight and as I indicated we are taping the meeting so I would ask
anyone who wishes to comment on the need for revisions to the Official Plan
to come forward, state your name and make your comments. There are a
number of people here this evening and I don't want to cut anybody off but I
do want everyone who wishes to have the opportunity to come forward and
speak. So I would ask that you make your comments direct, to the point and
as Andria has indicated this is the meeting where you are going to be
indicating to us that you feel there needs to be revisions to the Official Plan.
There will be subsequent public meetings and there will be work plans
introduced where people can get into more specifics on particular pieces of
property, etc. But we do want everyone who wishes, to come forward and
make your deputation this evening. If you have copies of what you are saying
or wish to present, I would ask that you give copies to the Clerk either this
evening or at the earliest opportunity so that we may have them and take
them into account when we validate our work plan. Do we have any members
of the public who wish to speak this evening?"

the intent would be that you would get those comments in. Obviously, there
would be additional public meetings and opportunities for additional public
comment as we went through. This was just for the initial input."
Mayor Craig - "We are part of those authorities (The Nottawasaga Valley
Conservation Authority and the Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority) and as
such, we have applied along with them. In Oro-Medonte's case, we'd already
started our hydrogeological study before this government grant was
announced so we are working with the NVCA, Lake Simcoe and also the
Severn Sound Environmental Association for that portion and they received a
grant as well. So yes, we are taking full advantage of that government grant."

Betty Veitch - "I would like to speak and I apologize for the fact that it's not
as well prepared as all the ones which have gone before me. Mr. Mayor and
Councillors, my name is Betty Veitch. I live in the village of Craighurst. I am
the fifth generation of the Caston family living in a house built by my great
great Grandfather in the mid 1830's so my family has been in the area for
some time. Mine is a very personal issue, compared to ones that have been
brought before you tonight but I made a vow that I never wanted another
resident in the Oro-Medonte Township to have the problem which I have
because of a clause in the present Official Plan.
Approximately three years ago, a building was allowed on the lot adjacent to
my house. This building is approximately forty feet from the main door of my
house and closer even to my patio. This industrial type metal building,
eighteen feet high and forty feet long was allowed because the residential lot
was said to be in an agricultural zone and this size was allowed because the
building was attached to the main house by approximately a twenty foot long
metal-clad breezeway. If it had not been attached, it could not have been that
size.
What I would like to see is a revision to the Official Plan that when allowing, if
they have to allow industrial type buildings on a residential lot, that
consideration be given to the location of such a building as to it's affects on
the adjacent property. I also wonder how long a lot, this lot was residential for
approximately 100 years, when is it no longer considered agricultural? Now
my reason for complaining is that the noise from the machinery being used in
this building is audible in my house, even with the windows down. There's a
high pitched wine hourly, during the cold months, from the gas furnace which
is used to heat this building. It creates such a shade on my property that the
grass is dying. I originally tried to get trees planted to hide this building. I was
quoted $3,600.00 by one landscaper to put in eight ten- foot cedar trees to
block the view of this rather ugly looking metal building. However, tree
experts stated that the building created so much shade that the trees wouldn't
grow and that's sort of been proven by the fact that the grass is dying. So
hopefully, there will be some changes made to the Official Plan as to how long
~
(Il" ,
'1---

a residential lot stays in an agricultural zone and how big a building can be
put on a residential lot and I think this provision that a building 18' X 40' can
be allowed along as it's attached to the main building regardless of how it was
attached, should be revised.
And I will produce this in writing because I just prepared it not
really intending to speak but I changed my mind after I got here. I thank you
for hearing me."
Brian Pratt - "Mayor Neil Craig, Councillors, my name is Brian Pratt. I live
on the South half of Lot 38, Oro Township and I've farmed there for 33 years.
We have 76 head of cattle right now and we have an environmental farm plan
and I've got a certificate from the Ministry of the Environment. One of my
concerns is, we have houses built as close as 46' from our lot line and we
farm right to the lot line and our lane goes along there. Now, there's
approximately 7 houses that are just beginning to be lived in now. They
haven't had the summer with all the dust and everything and they're all
downwind of our place. We've had complaints from the development further
up on the hill - the new development - because the flies are blown up there
and the smell of the manure and the dust. And those houses are over 150'
away from our lane. In the summertime, we can be making as many as 22
trips up and down the lane hauling hay everyday. Last year, the one house
that was being built, the people just moved into it about a week ago. They
were bricking the house and you could hardly see the bricklayers when we
went by with the hay wagon. That's how sandy it is. And we make maple
syrup so we're going up and down the lane in the Spring, chewing up the
ground so you can't get a sod base and even in the summertime, with cattle
going up and down the lane, there's a lot of dust created. There's a cloud of
dust they create. There's no way you can stop that. It's quite sandy land. In
some ways, I don't think I should have to continue farming on this land. I think
it should go into development too because it's difficult for me, but I can see it's
going to be really difficult for the seven families that are living in these houses.
Another concern too is that these people have dogs. The dogs are supposed
to be kept on a leash or in a cage, this sort of thing. Now with the scare of
e-coli - we have cattle there. Dogs, if they're fed commercial dog food, they
love eating manure. They love getting into cow manure and that dog could
come into some body's house and if the kids pet it and their faces get licked by
the dogs, it should be a real concern to these people. They don't know what
they're getting into. Most of the people have bought houses along there in the
wintertime. We were talking to some of them. They saw a nice snowy field.
They buy these lots, then have a house put on it and I think it's going to cause
a lot of problems.
, r
~
10
So I think the Official Plan should have some kind of a natural barrier. It
shouldn't just be a lot line where you say this is agricultural and it can be
farmed, and this is going to be residential land. There is no natural boundary.
With us, we're producing what some people find smells and they don't
appreciate it. We're creating dust and sou nd from tractors and other
equipment. This is my concern that I think we should have kind of a plan
where it's developed to a natural boundary. Thank you very much."
Mayor Craig - "Thank you Mr. Pratt. Are there further comments on the need
for revision of the Township's Official Plan? For the second time are there
further comments? Deputy Mayor Dickie?"
Deputy Mayor Dickie - "For the record, Your Worship, I have a letter here
that I would like to receive from Mr. Derek Rynard and his concern is with our
definition of an infilling lot, 02.3.2.2 of our Official Plan. And I'll leave this
with the Clerk."
Mayor Craig - "Thank you Deputy Mayor. Any further comments on the need
for revision of our Official Plan?"
Joe Charles - "Mr. Mayor and Council. My name is Joe Charles. I represent
the Jarratt-Coulson Group in part but I'm also speaking with personal interest
in things that I've run across to do with the plan that I may as well mention. I
see its still early and they are perhaps more specific than I guess what was
intended for tonight but that was not my initial information. Actually, there's
about three things. I've just left a note in my brief case, if I may get
that.....The first thing has to do with a specific item. Again, this is something
that came up in the often mentioned OMS hearing and Gold Mountain and
that is that looking at the plan that was shown in schedules of the Official
Plan, there appears to be perhaps an error or omission in a large and
significant area from an environmental standpoint. I'll refer to various plans
here - the Oro-Medonte Official Plan, the County of Simcoe Official Plan. The
area runs from Lots 3 and 4 along Line 9 to Lots 1 and 2 on Line 11....."
....Written Submission Attached followed bV additional comments not
included in the written portion
(Referring to the written submission) "So that would be a specific suggestion
which came up here and it's a large area in the Jarratt-Coulson purview and
again out of my front window. It's a significant wildlife area with night
creatures there and some that are rare and endangered. That's another
subject which we can get into later but that would be my first item.
11
Something else that may come up - Mr. Dryden spoke earlier and touched
on it but this is something that came my way and it is a suggestion of his as a
member of the Land Use Steering Committee. He suggested to the
committee and I believe he has submitted his suggestion to the committee
and it struck me as particularly apt in discussion of the Official Plan at this
point too. He comments on the nagging problem of the lack of complete sites
of specific data for hydrogeological and biological makeup of the Oro Moraine.
It would seem to me that if we had such information which I understand can
only come from field evaluation, we would have a solid defensible position in
the future of land use planning. In saying this, he perhaps intentionally, or
not, also supported what was said earlier by Mr. Woodford. Mr. Dryden goes
on to say, 'Needless, we do not have the re sources available to obtain this
data within the time frame which has been set out to produce a revised
Official Plan." With this in mind, I would propose the following:
I) In those areas of the Ora Moraine where data is incomplete, an applicant
seeking a change in land use designation will be required to have a detailed
study made of the biological and hydro-geological makeup of the land under
review. With the required data in place an environmental assessment will be
made and presented to Council for it to either accept or reject the application.
2) The cost of such study and environmental assessment will be borne by the
applicant.
3) The study and environmental assessment will be carried out under the
jurisdiction of the appropriate conservation authority or (group...?).
4) The biological and hydro-geological data base would be maintained by
one of the conservation authorities. It would also be responsible for updating
the data bases now as new validated scientific data becomes available.
So I assume new policies will be required in the Official Plan to institutionalize
this system and its our thought through conversations that have come across
in the Jarratt-Coulson Group and it seems to me individually at
(Great Woods ?) that perhaps this could be added either as a follow up
section 2.1 of the bullets in pillar No.1, Section A.2 of the Official Plan. Either
bullet No.1 or 4 deals with the moraine itself and it seems that these
suggestions would appropriately be a part to be included in the pillar and
would also serve as a guideline and mechanism to allow us to get on with
business before we have all of the information that we would ideally like to
have before we get budgets for all the information we would like to go after. It
seems to me that's one of the...".( tape ended)
"...it would help through all of this to build up hydro-geological and biological
data step by step as it comes along as it would be compiled in a catalogue by
the conservation authority. So that would be the second point of
r'\ ...
G'
12
consideration that I would suggest for the Official Plan and I don't have a
copy of that drawn up but I will get one..... .in the next few days.
The third thing, and it's a little briefer, bear with me for a minute. It has to do
with something that I see and I think the Planning Department sees too. A
small item, but it affects quite a lot of people in this agricultural community.
And reference here would be the Oro- Medonte Official Plan, Section D.2.3.2
and 0.2.3.2.1. These sections govern the creation 0 f new lots in an
agricultural area for a retiring farmer and this is one of the few municipalities, I
understand, that does have such a provision. If you've been farming for ten
years and you're retiring, you can sever off a 10tJor your own use and sell off
the farm or whatever. I'm afraid we often see that being abused. The lot gets
severed and sold and so does the farm and the whole thing is history. Also
we see cases where perhaps multiple properties that have been assembled
over the years, different farm properties, all of a sudden are up for separation
again and they're separated and then the farmer who owns them takes a
block off each of them. There is no way under the current plan of limiting that.
In the meantime, other farmers who might be ap proaching retirement, they
would like to stay in their own house and spend their days fixing up (their
existing farmhouse ?) but the farm is going to a son or daughter who will stay
on to farm the farm itself. If they can't legitimately separate a lot for the
security of their offspring, for the offspring's use, that separated lot is
technically supposed to be for the farmers use which means he has to move,
out of his comfortable home. Here I don't have a suggestion. I'm just pointing
out that it's something that I've heard a lot of discussion on. I guess all us
folks in a true planning department get to know that this is an area that should
be addressed in some way to be fairer. As I said, I understand we are one of
the very few municipalities to have such a provision in the first place. Perhaps
it should be deleted entirely to avoid the confusion but, is that fair to the
legitimate retiring farmer too? Anyway, that is something to think about. As I
said, I don't have suggestions but it affects all of us or it affects our
neighbours. Now I have two more to write up for submission. Thank you very
much."
Mayor Craig - "Thank you Mr. Charles. Mr.(Meeker......?) had your
hand up there a little while ago. Did you have another point you wish to
make?"
Mr. M. "I just had a question. Are these suggestions not going to be
considered?"
Mayor Craig - "Yes. That's the reason why staff is taking notes and we're
recording the meeting so that we have a record of all these proposals."
~/ i
13
Mr.M.
"Are these going to be voted on then?"
Mayor Craig - "Staff is going to be. I assume Council is going to decide if
there is a need to revise our Official Plan and so we'll probably be directing
staff to bring forvvard a report and work program indicating some of the areas
that need to be addressed and the revisions to the Official Plan and I would
assume that they would take into account the comments and suggestions
made at this meeting and the written comments that we receive as well. Will
we be voting on each individual item that came up tonight? I don't believe so.
That's not the intention. It will be up to staff to bring forvvard a report to
Council and as well, Council members may have their own ideas about what
revisions to the Official Plan should happen. But it will all be debated and
voted on by Council."
Mr.M.
"When will we see this sir?"
Mayor Craig - "I would have to direct the question through to the Planner.
Obviously, Council hasn't made a decision we're going to have a revision but I
have been thinking that they're going to agree to it. We'll be giving direction
to the Planner to come up with a work program on just how long, and when is
it going to take place but there'll be lots of other public meetings and lots of
notification as we work our way through the process because this is a Council
rneeting. This isn't a meeting under the Planning Act. Once we start into
revising the Official Plan then we'll have meetings under the Planning Act
which we have to hold and we'll be advertising them and there will be lots of
time for further input and comment and discussion about what we're
contemplating in terms of revisions.
Are there further deputations or comments to Council this evening on the
need to revise the Official Plan? For the final time?"
Mrs. Beaton. "May I just ask a question. I'd be interested in knowing
what kind of reports are going to be available to members of the public to
see? How would one go about getting as informed as possible? The reports
that come from the two working groups - are they going to be available for
public review?"
Mayor Craig "Yes, Mrs. Beaton. There will be open houses and
presentations made on the results and on the information that has been
collected so far both on the aggregate and the moraine studies. Those
sessions will be advertised and that information will be made available to the
public as we work our way through the process. There was a meeting just the
,
14
other day of the aggregate group and quite a bit of information was
presented then and the moraine group is also working and information will be
presented to the public at open houses and public meetings. I think there are
some meetings scheduled for August and we'll probably have to have
additional ones maybe in September to be sure that we catch people who
were on their holidays and people who were away etc. So later this year. as I
indicated, late summer or in the fall, we'll be having public meetings and open
houses on some of the work that is ongoing with those working groups."
Mrs. Beaton "I'm just referring prirnarily to things that are on paper, in
print. It's very interesting to come to meetings and hear things presented, but
if you really want to try and understand what is really being said, it's nice to
have a report to review."
Mayor Craig - "As I understand it, our consultants and staff are working on a
web page and hyper links, and all that type of thing to put that information on
a web page and will also have the information in print I would assume and
perhaps I'll refer to the Planner. Do you have any other details that I haven't
covered Andria?"
Andria - "No Your Worship. But basically we would have hard copies
available for those who prefer to access the information off the web site, all of
the reports are intended to be on the web site when they are available and
any updates on meetings would be on the web site. As we talked with our
committee, any notification of meetings or when those reports are available
would be done through the local paper, the North Simcoe Community News
which everybody seerns to be able to get a copy of and be advised of when
those reports will be available."
Mayor Craig - "Any further questions or comments? Mr. Baker?
Mr. Baker - "Yes, I'd just like to thank all the people who showed up this
evening and made the contribution coming forward and wish that other people
would do the same. By the same token, often an anecdote that I heard in
attending a session that Gord Miller of Provincial Environmental
spoke at. In it he said, 'Don't wait for the government to solve your problem.
Citizens have usually recognized the solution long before the government
knows there's a problem.' So I think the fact that we have a plan is evidence
of the participation that other people have been involved in and I encourage
you to continue."
Mayor Craig - "Thanks for the comments Mr. Baker. I appreciate the
members of the public who have come out tonight and I am particularly
15
impressed with the thoughts on the presentations that you've made, the
areas that you've covered. You have obviously put a lot of thought into it and
that only strengthens our process. I would also comment that as a member of
Council, I'm proud of the Official Plan that Oro-Medonte has developed. I
know there are some municipalities in this County who are still working with
portions of five municipal official plans, left-overs from the days of
restructuring. Oro-Medonte was the leader in developing a new official plan to
encompass the new township and I think that a lot of thought has ob viously
gone into that but based on what I'm hearing tonight, obviously, some areas
can be revised and we'll certainly listen to the comments made tonight and we
will be taking them all into consideration.
Madam Clerk do you have any resolution on the deputations this evening?"
Marilyn Pennycook - "Yes I do Your Worship. Moved by Councillor
Fountain, seconded by Councillor Hughes, be it resolved that the comments
submitted by Jim Woodford, Bruce Porter, Bill Soles, Wilf McMechan, Alan
Baker, Ernie Dryden, Jack Haggerty, Betty Veitch, Brian Pratt, Derek Rynard
correspondence, and Joe Charles be received.
Mayor Craig - "Any questions? All those in favour. Carried. Can we have a
motion giving direction to our Planner please."
Marilyn Pennycook - "Moved by Councillor Hough, seconded by Deputy
Mayor Dickie, be it resolved that whereas the Official Plan for the Township of
Oro-Medonte was adopted by Council on February 5, 1997 in accordance
with the provisions of the Planning Act RSO 1990 cp13 as amended, and
whereas the Official Plan is intended to serve as the basis for managing
change in the Township for the next twenty years.
Whereas Section J6 Official Plan review process of the Township of Oro-
Medonte Official Plan requires that the assumptions, objectives and policies of
the plan be reviewed at least once every five years at a meeting of Council.
Whereas Section 26.1 of the Planning Act requires the Council of the
municipality to hold a special meeting of council open to the public to
determine the need for a revision of the Official Plan and in determining the
need for a revision of the Official Plan, Council shall have regard to the policy
statement issued under Section 3.1 of the Planning Act.
Whereas the special meeting of Council held May 8th, 2002 was advertised in
accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act is a special meeting of
Council to determine the need for revision of the Official Plan. Now therefore,
1n

be it resolved that the Council of the Township of Oro-Medonte in
accordance with the Planning Act and the Township Official Plan deems that
revisions to the Official Plan are needed and directs the Township Planner to
bring forward the appropriate work program for Council's consideration to
proceed with these revisions."
Mayor Craig - "Council, you've heard the motion. Do you have any
questions or comments? Perhaps I will direct a question through the Planner.
Andria could you reiterate again for the benefit of Council and the public what
sort of time lines that we'd be looking at if the motion is approved."
Andria Leigh - "Yes Your Worship. Essentially at this point we've suggested
for initial input subsequent to this meeting be received by Thursday, May 30th.
The intent would be that I would then prepare a Report to Council that would
indicate the information that has been received, any input from Council in
regards to matters that they wish to have considered as part of that memo
would also be incorporated and then a report in June would be presented at
the Comrnittee of the Whole Meeting which would outline the work program
and include additional public meeting and policy information as to when that
would be available. The intent would be it would be carried on throughout the
summer and into the early fall before any final decisions are made and that
would be consistent with the two separate studies that we are also working on
for the moraine and the aggregate so that all could be adopted at the same
time by Council in the late fall- or rather considered by Council."
Mayor Craig - "Council, you've heard the motion. Any further questions? All
those in favour? That motion is carried.
Madam Clerk, item No.7, Confirmation By-law?"
Marilyn Pennycook - "Moved by Deputy Mayor Dickie, seconded by
Councillor Hough, be it resolved that a by -law to confirm the proceedings of
the special council meeting held on Wed. May 8th, 2002, be introduced and
read a first and second time and numbered By-law No. 2002-055."

Township of Oro-Medonte
REPORT
DEPT. REPORT TO: Council PREPARED BY:
ADM2002-43 Jennifer Zieleniewski
SUBJECT & FILE #: DEPARTMENT:
Council Administration
Township of Oro-Medonte
C.ofW. Official Opening, Dedication
and naming - OPP Extended
Services Office I Community
Meeting Room I Fire Hall
4'h Line.
DATE:
Motion # September 12, 2002
R.M. FILE NO.
Date: F18-12108
The official opening of the new Township of Oro-Medonte O.P.P. Extended Services Office and
Community Room has tentatively been set for Sunday, October 20,2002 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
In order to unify the two Township Emergency Services buildings, the Fire Hall and the Extended
Services Office and Community Room, it was contemplated that the land between the two buildings
be reclaimed. This would involve the clearing of brush and the installation of an interlocking brick
walkway connecting the two facilities.
In the design concept, staff requested inclusion of an area of the complex for dedication to the
memory of the Late Mayor Ian Arthur Beard. It is further suggested that a sitting area with a garden
. setting; the planting of large trees, regrading and sodding, be established in this area.
The recommendation put forth was for a plaque to be mounted on a stone to be placed in the
memorial sitting area. The intent was to incorporate a dedication ceremony with the official opening
and naming of the 4'h Line municipal facilities.
At Council's meeting of June 12'h, 2002, direction was provided to staff to initiate the process to
determine the needs for the greater Horseshoe Valley Community. Council's commitment to initiate
the process for a needs analysis with respect to the 4th Line development was reaffirmed at their
meeting of August 14'h, 2002.
C{e-d-.
The Township was provided with a design concept and a quotation from North Ridge Landscaping for
the project, at a total cost of $13,500.00. A copy of this quotation and site plan is attached for
Council's consideration. No funds were allocated for this project in the current year's budget;
therefore it is recommended that the project be expensed from the Contingency Reserve Fund. The
Contingency Reserve Fund will have an estimated balance of $534,000.00 at December 31",2002.
The site work would take approximately four days.
Given that it is also anticipated that further improvements will be recognized at the site, and the site is
currently the location of several municipal facilities, staff recommend Council consider a dedication
ceremony at the time of the official opening and further that Council consider naming the complex in
memory of the Late Mayor Ian Arthur Beard.

REPORT
DEPT. REPORT TO: COUNCIL PREPARED BY:
#PWS2002-10 Jerry Ball
SUBJECT & FILE #: DEPARTMENT:
COUNCIL:
Tender Contracts for Repairs Roads
to Coulson/Mill Pond Bridge
C.OFW.:
DATE: Sept. 16, 2002
MOTION #:
DATE: R. M. FILE #:
During the road construction in late May, 2002 at the hill on Line 6 North, the Mill Pond bridge
sustained damage to the main outside "I" beams under the bridge deck. This damage was due to
empty trucks leaving the construction site and travelling east on Mill Pond Road to return to the gravel
pit.
The Mill Pond bridge is a narrow one-lane (approximately 15 feet) wooden deck bridge with a load
limit of seven tonnes. In 1998, Reid and Associates inspected all the municipal bridges and this
structure was shown to be deficient with a narrow deck, some minor cement spalling on the
abutments, and the "I" beams were deteriorating, but were still sufficient for the posted load limit.
R J. Burnside and Associates Limited from Collingwood were the consulting Engineers employed to
complete the required engineered inspection of all municipal structures. Thus, an immediate
inspection was performed on the Mill Pond bridge to determine it's future, resulting in the bridge being
temporarily marked with delineators to keep traffic on the north side of the deck to reduce the load
limit to two tonnes for local traffic, and posting both ends of Mill Pond Road to eliminate heavy truck
traffic completely.
R J. Burnside and Associates Limited were then requested to complete a full inspection and provide
options for a permanent repair. The most realistic and cost efficient repair was to remove the "I"
beams and wood deck, and drive new sheet piles on the north side to increase both cement
abutments, which will then allow for a new concrete deck of 2-10 foot driving lanes, and a new guild
rail system. All of this work can be completed without working in the water as the cement abutments
and centre rail are in excellent condition, therefore resulting in no Ministry or D.F.O. approvals being
required. Engineered plans were drafted on the above work and a tender prepared and advertised to
complete the work in the fall before the winter season.
The tenders for Contract No. RG. 02-3021 were opened on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 at 1 :00
p.m., with Jerry Ball, Public Works Superintendent, Marilyn Pennycook, Clerk, and Stephen Riley of
R J. Burnside and Associates Limited present.

Mr. Jerry Ball
Road Superintendent
RE:
Township of Oro-Medonte
Coulson Mill Pond Bridge Rehabilitation
Dear Sir:
We have now had an opportunity to review the seven lenders received on September 10,2002
in cormection with the above noted project. A summary and breakdown of me unit prices submitted
is enclosed.
On the basis of ourreview, and subsequent discussions wim references provided by the Jow
bidder, Premier Concrete Inc., we have conduded Ihat they may not have the Tequisite manpower
or experience to complete the mis project in a timely manner. With Iespect to manpower, the
contractor has existing commitments that may impact on their start date, to the a detriment of the
Coulson project. The contTactor's suggestion that they would hire additional staff to meet their
manpower needs may not address the issue of having experienced project coordination or
management on site. With respect to the contraClors listed experience, we contacted several
references and found that the contractor was not the prime contractor on these projects. They had
provided consITUction labouT to another finn and did not participate, in any substantial way in the
project management or organization. This is a concern as the necessary project management
experience required may be Jacking. On the basis of these issues and concems, RJ. Burnside &
Associates is of the opinion that it may not be in the best interests ofthe Township to proceed with
the low bid.
As such, we recommend that me tender of the second Jow bidder, Engineered Concrete
Limited, in the amount of$154,065.43 be accepted. Engineered Concrete Limited is an experienced
contraclor with a demonstrated ability to deliver this project.

Subject: Park issue
Hello Chris,
Harry Hughes suggested that I get in touch with you, and copy the council, regarding a concern and request I
have.
I had a disturbing visit to the Shelswelt Park this weekend, the park at the water near Harbourwood. On
weekends throughout the summer, this has become the haunt of choice for out of township visitors who wish to
avoid the crowds at Oro Beach. This in itself isn't a concern to me, it's public property. There's lots of room for
parking and garbage receptacles are available. On Sunday. we were down for a swim and there were over 10
cars parked and several families with children of all ages enjoying the water, games and bbq in peace. As
always, a disturbing fleeling thought occurred to me: What are all these people, who are here all day eating,
doing for washroom facilities? As we headed into the water, we quickly found oul. There were faeces over the
rocks with toilet paper...so it wasn't a dog. I can't express how disgusted I was and how furious at the
inconsiderate people who are setting an appalling example for their kids.
I suspect the season of visitors is over for this year, but I would like to know if we can have an porta potty put
there next summer, at least on the weekends. Please let me know what I would need to do to make this
happen, and let me know if you need any other information or clarification.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
