Deputation to Committee of the Whole, Oro-Medonte Township
. Presented by Jack Pearce, 19 Alpine Way, RR#I, Shanty Bay, LOL 2LO
I am speaking to you about a topic raised in a recent letter from Mike Jones of Azimuth
Environmental Consulting, Inc to Oro-Medonte Township. The topic is about misleading
and misrepresentative statements. Mr. Jones is making reference to a deputation I made
to Council. In the deputation, I raised two issues I said that Mr. Jones had not been on
the site of the proposed playground and that a thorough assessment had not been done In
his letter, Mr. Jones says he has not been on the site. On this issue, there is nothing
misleading. Mr. Jones goes on to state that he has had verbal conversations with various
persons from the Township. I must assume that Mr. Jones saying that his verbal
discussions without being on the site constitutes a thorough assessment of the site. If a
thorough assessment has been done, where is it and why isn't it available for inspection?
I find it difficult to believe that Mr. Jones has produced a thorough assessment of site
M19. It is interesting to note that the equipment working on the intermittent watercourse
has filled in the suspected sink holes
It is of particular significance that the letter contains the words "misleading" and
"misrepresented". It has been a monumental task trying to bring the facts and factors of
the Pods Lane playground proposal to Council's attention. I wish to bring some of these
situations to your attention
In the Township's Master Plan, it is written that site M19 has no developmental potential
and no park potential. Some of the adjacent residents took the Township at its written
word and based decisions about building homes there. Even though I live directly across
the street from the site, I did not receive notice that a proposal for a playground had been
made for the site. I ask you, who is being misleading and misrepresentative to proceed
with the proposal process when it contradicts the Township Master Plan, especially
without consulting with the residents directly affected by the proposal? Some person or
persons from the Township should have done some research on the site. If they had done
the research, they would have found the committee recommendations in the Township
Master Plan They would also have found that a similar proposal had been turned down
by the Parks and Recreation Dept in 1998. If the research wasn't done, it appears that
someone wasn't doing a thorough job. If the research was done and these facts were
known, then who decided to ignore them? It appears someone was misleading and
misrepresenting about this proposal from the beginning
In May of this year, there was a committee meeting about this proposal. A member of
the Parks and Recreation Dept asked that the opponents of the proposal not to attend as
there would be no deputations at that meeting. The room would be too small for
spectators. In fact, the proponents did make a deputation and the committee voted on the
proposal. Who was being misleading and misrepresentative?
In June, prior to the ratification of the proposal, notices appeared posted throughout the
community congratulating the residents on their new playground. Among the signatures
on the notice was Chris Carter of the Oro-Medonte Parks and Recreation Dept The
mayor denied that the Township had any knowledge or participation in these notices;
however he refused to attempt in any way to notify the community that the information
and Township involvement was false. Who was being misleading and misrepresentative?
In July, a second notice was mailed to the residents One of the signatures on the notice
was again Oro-Medonte Parks and Recreation Dept Once again, the mayor and CAO
refused to attempt in any way to rectify the situation Who was being misleading and
misrepresentative?
It was reported that a petition supporting the proposal had somehow been lost No
attempt was made to redo the petition. Guesses placed the number of names on the
petition at about eighty A petition opposing the proposal with two hundred and fifty-four
verifiable names was presented and is on record for reference.
Two public information meetings were held in early August In planning for the
meetings, the two groups were told by the CAO that she gauge the feelings of the
residents at the meetings and possibly hold a vote to get a more accurate feeling The
results of these meetings would dictate whether she, the CAO, would recommend the
proposal or recommend rej ecting the proposaL At the start of the meeting we were told
that the CAO and the mayor had decided two days earlier that a vote would not be held
Ms Rooney and I were instructed to meet with the CAO a day prior to the Council
meeting so that we could be told what the CAO would recommend to CounciL At the
appointed time Ms. Rooney and I met but the CAO did not arrive Later, she phoned and
informed us that she had decided not to make a recommendation. Surprisingly, at the
Council meeting the CAO said that in spite of the majority of the community being
against the proposal, she saw no reason not to ratify the proposaL Who was being
misleading and misrepresentative?
It was reported to Council that there was a list of over eighty children who would be
users of the playground In spite of repeated requests, the list was not made available
until the end of August The list was filled with errors. There were no addresses for
verification, at least one family was listed twice, and some children had no last names
and some with no names at alL The ages for several of the children were incorrect
Names of children whose parents signed against the playground were on the list Some
of the children listed were seventeen and eighteen years old Who was being misleading
and misrepresentative?
.
Recently, the Horseshoe Valley Property Owners Association held its annual meeting.
. Eight director positions were filled from a group of eleven candidates. Two of the
candidates were proponents of the playground proposal. In the election of directors,
neither of the playground proponents were elected. This result, coupled with the letters
sent to Council in the summer is a strong message to Council that the majority of the
residents are not in favour of the playground proposal. There is nothing misleading and
misrepresentative in those messages.
This community has been trying to send a strong message to Council but at every
opportunity, some person or persons at the Township appears to have been suppressing
the attempts.
As a member of this community, I am asking you to overturn the Pods Lane playground
decision. In your deliberations, several issues must be examined. If the decision is
overturned, this community could move forward in a united cooperative way to establish
the best facilities for all residents of the area. The decision as it now stands was made
under the influence of the following factors
I. A previously rejected proposal is quietly resurrected.
2. A critical meeting is held but opponents are asked to not attend.
3. Township documents appear to be in opposition to the proposal.
4. In June, the mayor and CAO refuse to clarify misleading notice that appeared
to have the approval of the Township.
5. In July, the mayor and CAO refuse to clarify a second misleading public
notice
6. In August, the mayor and CAO refuse to allow a vote at the information
meetings to show a defined feeling on the proposal.
7. The CAO says that she will use the feeling of the information meetings to
make her recommendation to Council. She then decides against this She
then reports to Council contrary to the feelings of the majority at the meetings.
8. The petition supporting the proposal was lost and never redone.
9. The petition against the proposal has two hundred and fifty-four verifiable
names.
10. The greatly flawed list of children.
II. The HVPOA letter to Council and the recent director's election results.
This deputation began with the challenge of me being misleading and misrepresentative
as stated in a letter to Council by Mike Jones. He has stated that indeed, he has not been
on the site. He also states that he had verbal discussions about the site. There is nothing
misleading in me claiming that a thorough assessment has not been done. If Mike Jones
has done an assessment, it is not being made available. This has prompted me to ask the
same question of you people. Who has been misleading and misrepresentative?
.
.
.
,
The decision on the Pods Lane playground has been made using a flawed process and
must be challenged. The details must become public knowledge. The big questions are
who in authority could have influenced those unusual procedures and why would they do
it? One unproven theory is related to the mayor saying that he has close friends living
near the proposed playground As it turns out, these close friends are proponents of the
playground proposal Given the actions of the mayor, it appears that he may have been
acting in a conflict of interest
As a member of this community, I am formally asking Council to rescind the Pods Lane
playground decision I would appreciate your reply in a timely fashion
Yours trul y,
Jack Pearce

Attention: Ms Jennifer Zieleniewski, CAO
RE: Information regarding tbe deputation to Council by Mr. Jack Pearce
Dear Ms Zieleniewski:
I re<:eived a copy of the written deputation from Mr. Jack Pearct) regarding the
playground site at Pods Lane. In his letter, Mr. Pearce discusses a conversation with me
and has misrepresented the communications between myself, Township staff and
members of Council.
Mr. Pearce's letter states the following:
"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." These statements are not
accurate and misleading.
At the el)d of the August opel) house, there was a very brief discussion regarding the site
between myself and Mr. Rick Dory. Mr. Dory is a neighbollI of the proposed playground
and an associate of Mr. Pearce. At that time, I indicated that I had had discussions with
Ms Zieleniewski, Ms Leigh and several members of Council regarding the potential
hydrogeological impacts at the site. Mr. Dory stated that a copy of my report had been
requested, and I informed him that my discussions had been verbal. H.e asked if J had
been to the site, and stated that I had not, but that OllI work had taken us throughout the
Horseshoe Valley area and that I was well aware of hydrogeological issues in the area.
I have discussed this issue with Ms Zieleniewski, Ms Leigh and several members of
Council on numerous occasions over the past fOllI months. As a common tmead in these
conversations, I have communicated that there is little expe<:tation of any impact to the
ground water regime as a result of the proposed playground. Mr. Pearce's letter is
- accurate when it states that Ms Zieleniewski "consulted with the township hydrogeologist
and was told that there would be no impact on the ground water."

.
My statements are made on the basis that impact to the ground water regime occurs on
the basis of either quantity or quality. Quantity impacts result when there are changes to
the infiltration capacity of the overburden soils or when water is diverted away from the
watershed. In this case, there is very little addition of hard surface, and any diverted
water would infiltrate on adjoining areas. Potential quantity impacts are contrasted
against the adjacent housing development.
Quality impacts result if there is the introduction of contaminants. None are expected as
a result of the proposed playground.
The site does include an intenninent drainage swale that conveys stonn runoff and spring
melt. As I discussed with staff and members of Council, the stonnwater issue would
ne~d to be evaluated, however. the drainage area is small and changes in runoff potential
are not expected.
I had a second conversation with Mr. Dory in September at the Allandale Recreation
Centre in Barrie, where both of our daughters skate at the Mariposa Figure Skating Club.
During this second conversation, we discussed the points presented above, and that my
discussions with staff and members of Council were verbal.
In Mr. Pearce's letter, he requests that Council undertake a fonnal hydroge.ological
investigation including the drilling of boreholes. In my opinion, such an undertaking is
not warranted for the proposed playground because the potential for impact is negligible
or nil. I would be pleased to discuss this issue with you further.

Your Worship:
Couchiching Jubilee House is requesting financial assistance of$I,OOO.OO for the year
2002, to assist with operating expenses.
Couchiching Jubilee House is an ecumenical community based programme than enables
women to achieve their goals by providing transitional housing in a supportive
environment. By providing, safe, affordable transitional (up to one year)housing, we
provide a hand up, not a hand out, to vulnerable women and their dependent children.
Chair Susan Clarke proudly reported on the first five 'graduates' at our first Annual
General Meeting on September 12,2002. there are four families now living in the four
furnished apartments, receiving nurturing support as they reestablish themselves in our
community. This programme is working. The enclosed Winter edition of our Newsletter
gives Susan's repOrt. and that of the Drogramme Coordinator.
We do not receive any government funding, relying on the churches and donations from
the Community. The sponsoring Churches, St. Paul's United, St. Andrew's Presbyterian,
St. James Anglican, Forest Home United, Westmount United and Regent Park United
continue to furnish the apartments, and volunteers assist with the programmes.
Administrative costs are kept to a bare minimum with the Anglican Church Outreach
'Faithworks' funding the salary of our one part time coordinator, Dr. Hugh Coleman
donating office space. and Becker's Shoes Dfoviding storage for donated household
furnishings.
Weare finding, however, that the costs of utilities and general house maintenance
continue to rise. As our Financial Statment shows, our operating deficit wi!! be
approximately $13.000 by year end. Fundraising activities continue. yet we urgently
need your financial support at this time to help keep our doors open.
. 61) , J-
.
The women living in the House have made a commitment to make a big change in their
lifestyle, hoping for a better future for themselves and their chjJdren. Without support, it
is doubtful that they will be able to keep this commitment.
If you require further infonnation, please contact me at 7054873522, Chair Susan
Clarke at 705325 6460, or Charlene Taylor, Coordinator, at 326 4337.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,

An ecumenical community program enabling women to achieve their goals by pro-
viding safe housing alld 11 supportive environment.
Report to the A GM, September 12,2002
In this time of world conflict and terror, there is a wonderful story about a community that reaches out
in peace, bringing hope to women who are facing huge challenges in their lives, vulnerable women who
are isolated and have nowhere to call home. I am proud to be a part of this caring community of
people.
This is our first AGM and we are very proud, collectively, of our accomplishments over the past year.
The process to become incorporated and subsequently to obtain charitable status in itself forced us to be
more focused and articulate about our dreams and vision for CJH.
In the world of organizations and strategic planning there are often two distinct approaches that can be
applied. The calculated style or the committed. The common theme that best describes the board and
folks involved in CJH is a deep commitment to the women we serve, to each other and to our mission.
I believe that this deep commitment has been the rcason for our success.
The Board now has policies in place that govern our decisions, and operational guidelines that guide
our process. I want to fonnally acknowledge the tremendous work of the Policies & Procedures Com-
mittee, led by Chair Barbara MacLeod.
Last summer the house was a beehive of activity with many hands preparing the apartments for our first
tenants. I want to acknowledge the many volunteers who respond to calls for moving, cleaning, paint-
ing, repairing, and to the Corporation of 5t. James' Court.
FaithWorks, the Anglican Church Diocesan Community Ministry provides funding to pay the salary of
our part time staff coordinator, while HRDC funding enabled us to hire a summer university student.
Special recognition and thanks go to Ennis & Dr. lIugh Coleman for providing office space, which as-
sists us in keeping administrative expenses to a burl.' minimum. The Community Foundation of Orillia
& District granted money to pay for a portion of the House security system. We were again grateful to
be chosen as the recipient charity for Twin Lnkes Secondnry School Christmas Student Auction. We
also very much appreciate the contributions l11udc by the sponsoring churches, local community organi-
zation and individuals. Thanks to all!
. Couchiching Jubilee House operates on a very smull budget and the operating expenses, especially the
cost of utilities, and including emergency assistancc for the women in transition, are running above our
revenue. We must be very vigilant and crcIIIIV<" II/terms oj linding grants to support this project, and
Sf-s- .
appeal to church communities and the community at large for support, both practical and financial. .
The work of the Board of Directors guides and supports the operation of CJH. Over the past year we
bave welcomed 7 women, some with children, there were over 60 applications. Charlene Taylor our co-
ordinator, and the women who live at CJH are very fortunate to experience the generosity of spirit of the
many volunteers who weekly give ofthemselves to be with the women.
As a team we plowed through some new territory, climbed many mountains, crossed some bridges, sailed
some high seas, paddled in still waters and uncovered treasures of the human spirit. This is a story about
team work, synergy, sharing a vision, hard work and intangible rewards. We are honoured to have played
a part in the launching of this project and now look forward to evaluating the program, doing some fme
tuning, assessing the ongoing need, strengthening our core service and planning for the future.
RespectfuJJy submitted,
Susan Clarke, Chair, Board of Directors, CJH.
Coordinator's Report to the AGM
Couchiching Jubilee House has made a difference in our community. The four furnished apartments have
been occupied since its opening in September 200 I. There have been 7 women and 6 children living in
the house.
Couchiching Jubilee House is an ecumenical community based program that enables women to achieve
their goals by providing transitional housing in a supportive environment. The program offers support in
a variety of ways, from individual to group activities. The Program Coordinator meets with each of the
women on a bi-monthly basis and is available for crisis intervention.
A team of dedicated volunteers work with the families individuaJJy and participate in group activities such
as weekly coffee times at the House and monthly supper clubs. Volunteers from the sponsoring churches
attended an in-depth orientation in September and have continued to receive ongoing education both at the
"community support team", monthly meetings and at the Spring Education Day. Brian Adams, Director
of Community Mental Health and a member of the Board of Directors, provides on going support to the
'Volunteer team.
The program works closely with many community agencies. A monthly calendar of events is given to
I~ach woman and is also posted at the House. Speakers from the community donate their expertise and
time to meet at the House to offer help and education on such topics as health, budgeting, employment
and credit counseling.
The first year has been a fascinating journey as we have been woven into the fabric of many lives. Fami-
Jlies complicated by a vast nurnber of issues from physical and mental health, poverty, abuse, anger and
broken relationships. Women with small children who find themselves homeless or "shakily housed".
Women isolated and unsure of what to do or where to turn. The volunteers who work directly with the
women have matured in their role and have found themselves in many roles-labour coach, friend, confi-
dante and advocate. Volunteers demonstrate vitality and continue to be positive role models, participating
with the residents in many activities such as canoeing, gardening, picnicking and attending appointments. .
Our program embraces the "Wraparound" philosophy. The principles include a strength-based approach
!f.
-I
. utilizing the individual's natural supports (liunily, friends), volunteers and s1~0:fty .
.
to meet and develop plans for the residenl. This process helps the resident take ownership of their
issues and sees them as solvable. It helps the woman organize in the face of chaos andwork to-
ward a more meaningful tomorrow.
Three women have "graduated" trom the House, staying an average of 7 months. One mother is
employed full time earning a steady income for her family. Another woman is in a positive rela-
tionship, most of her children have relUrned home and she has recently moved into subsidized
housing. A third woman, who wrestled with serious health problems, has demonstrated improved
health and stability. Although not all "graduates" will meet all their personal goals, any positive
changes will impact life decisions and improve future outcomes.
It has been quite a year.
Respectfully submitted,
Charlene Taylor

A Tribute to Jack Cox, D,'('ember 13, 1913-August 30,2002
On August 30, 2002, Orillia lost a very caring citizen and a person we might think of as the
"father" of Jubilee House. Jack Cox had lonl{. been involved in ministry to the marginalized in
Orillia, for example, it was Jack who built the warehouse for the "Sharing Place" Food Bank and
later beeame it's chairman.
But it was the year 2000 when people from 51. James' Outreach were struggling to fmd a way to
afford this dream of housing for vulnerable women that Jack's caring really shone. We had looked
at real estate and despite our best efforts, renlized there was no way we could afford to buy. In
stepped Jack, very quietly with a proposal.
The property on Coldwater SI. had been bought and managed as an apartment building for some 20
years, by St. James' Court Non-Profit apartments. Because the house was already established as a
non-profit, Jack thought it might serve its /I1l1ndll!e perfectly as transitional housing. He persuaded
the SI. James' Court board to offer it to St. James' Church for $],000.00 a month.
Jack was a bit ofa "rough diamond". He could be gruff and even surly at times, but that exterior
masked a heart of gold. He truly was a !I!ith put into action. At his funeral, his son Wayne read the
gospel which couldn't have been more approprinte: "Just as you did it to the least of these, my
brothers and sisters, you did it to me" (Mal/hew 25:40)
Thank you, Jack Thank you for Couchiching Jubilee House. We could not have done it without
you!

Dear Mr. Mayor:
Thank you for your letter of August 30, 2002, with which you enclosed a copy of your
letter to my colleague the Honourable Paul De Villers, expressing your township's concern about
the United States Army Corps of Engineers' Great Lakes Navigation study.
In response to your concerns regarding the Great Lakes Navigation study, a draft
preliminary report was completed this past summer. It can be viewed at www.lre.usace.armV.mil.
The aim of this report was twofold: to identify factors affecting commercial navigation along the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Seaway system, including future trends, and to outline what
improvements to the United States' sections of the seaway might warrant further investigation. It
is my understanding that the United States government is now determining whether to investigate
these possible improvements further.
It is the Government of Canada's view that improvements to the Seaway should not
compromise the ecological integrity of the Great Lakes or the St. Lawrence River. I welcome
your concerns on this matter, and I can assure you that the federal government is committed to
working with the United States to protect our waterways.
I would also like to bring to your attention a proposal prepared by the International Joint
Commission-an independent, impartial institution established by the Boundary Waters Treaty of
1909. Submitted to Canada and the United States in March 2002, this proposal outlined a plan to
assess the regulation of Lake Superior outflows. The proposed plan would also evaluate potential

impacts (e.g. water levels) on downstream water bodies such as Lake Huron and Georgian Bay,
and study the impact of certain human activities (e.g. dredging and shoreline alterations) on the
Upper Great Lakes. After a thorough review of the proposal, and following discussions with the
United States, we will be submitting a response to the Commission.
Thank you again for bringing your township's concern to my attention.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Minister,
Re: Proposed Dredging Operations within S1. Lawrence Seaway System
The Council of the Township of Oro-Medonte was petitioned by the Town of Midland
regarding their concerns over the proposed dredging operations within the St. Lawrence
Seaway System, a recommendation in the report of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
. The Township of Oro-Medonte recognizes that these proposed dredging operations
may severely impact the water levels of Lake Huron, Georgian Bay and the Severn
Sound area.
As a result, Council passed a motion on August 14, 2002 to make these concerns
known to yourself and the Minister for the Department of Foreign Affairs and
International Trade.
Thank you for this opportunity to comment on this important issue.
Yours truly,

Dear Ms. Zieleniewski:
He: Propo,ed Dred~jn~ Operations within St. Lawrence Seaway System
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently released a report outlining a proposal that would
enable panamax vessels to have c1ear passage through the St. Lawrence Seaway and through the
channels connecting the five Great Lakes. The purpose of the proposal is to transform lakeside
ports such as Detroit and Chicago into major shipping centres, increasing the competitive edge in
international trade. This would entail considerable dredging operations affecting the entire Great
Lakes watershed.
Our municipality is very concerned over the potential detrimental and permanent impact on the
water levels of Lake Huron, Georgian Bay and Severn Sound if a project of this magnitude is
implemented.
Enc10sed is a copy of Council's resolution expressing its strong concern over the proposal. We
respectfuBy request your support in this matler in order to protect the Severn Sound Watershed
area.

January is "Crime Stoppers Month"
CRIME STOPPERS of Simcoe-Dufferin-Muskoka was established in January 1987 as an
incorporated non-profit charitable organization. The program is operated by a volunteer
Board of Directors, who oversee all phases of the program, live, work and play in Simcoe-
Dufferin-Muskoka. A Police Co-ordinator, acts as a liaison between the Board and Police.
CRIME STOPPERS is NOT funded by tax dollars but relies on monies generously donated
by service groups, the private sector and the Board of Directors through fund raising activities
in order to serve the public and carry out its mandate.
The CRIME STOPPERS concept is simple, through the media, the public is encouraged to
call a province wide toll free number with any information about a crime that has occurred
or is about to occur. If the information provided solves or prevents a crime, the caller is
eligible for a cash reward, with payment made through a code system that ensures anonymity.
Anonymous calls to CRIME STOPPERS of Simcoe-Duff erin-Musk ok a has assisted the
Police and other investigative agencies in making 2,620 arrests, recovering stolen property
valued at $7,074,056.00 and seizing $22,167,211.00 in illegal drugs. For this information,
Crime Stoppers has paid $199,040.00 in cash rewards.
We need your help in our continuing effort to promote Crime Stoppers in your community
and it would be greatly appreciated if you would recognize CRIME STOPPERS by
presenting a motion to declare January as "Crime Stoppers Month" in your community.
Thank you for your support.

Dear Ms. Zieleniewski,
RE: SCIP Graduation 2002/10% Contribution of SCIP Rebate
I am writing to offer congratulations on the graduation of your SCIP participants, as well as your
receipt of a rebate cheque ITom the WSIB. As stated at the graduation ceremonies by many of
the speakers, the fact that 68 Orillia and District businesses received a total of $39,968.07 is a
tribute to the collective efforts of everyone to workplace safety and the unique partnerships in our
community to run this program. Well done!
As you may know, the Safe Community Incentive Program (SCIP) rebate program is only
available in communities that have a fonnal Safe Community Committee. As you may recall, the
SCIP registration fonn noted that participants agreed to contribute 10% of their WSIB rebate to
the ODSCC. This funding gives a tremendous boost to our organization, allowing us to carry on
other safety programs, and offer SCIP 2002 to the community.
Last year, we received a total of$6,800 from our SCIP participating companies and we are
hopeful that this will be matched this year by businesses that appreciate the value of the work we
are doing in sponsoring and organizing the SCIP program and other workplace safety programs.
Weare not privy to the rebate amount given to individual businesses and therefore cannot issue
you a specific invoice. However, if you could make a cheque payable to the ODSCC, we will
issue you a business receipt for training fees for participation in the SCIP program.
We look forward to your continued involvement and support as we work towards making Orillia
and District the safest community to live, work and play. If you have any questions, please do
not hesitate to contact The ODSCC office at 325-4449.
Yours sincerely,

Dear lviayof Craig:
Further to OUf letter of Oct. 28, 2002, a key concern in our efforts to obtain an equitable and fair
settle111ent, relates to the an10unt of LinIe and effort spent by T O\\'11Ship officials and
representatives during the Dfocessiu@. of our Rezoning Application:
They were as follovvs:
1) Two ten nlinute consultations with IvU Kolbe in his office.
2)0l1e fifteen ll1inute consultation with 1vls Leigh in her office, and
3) A presentation in front of the Township Planning Conl1uittee which was abandoned after ten
nlinutes as the Township was Dot ful1y prepared to consider the application, because infolulation
had not been disseiTtlnated to all Townsttip DepartDlents involved in the Rezoning Aplication.
We ask you to consider this infoHl1ation with respect to our request for farther refund.
Yours truly,

Dear Mayor Craig:
Ref: Blackberry Hill Rezoning, Apol1cation.
SOilletiu1e ago we s-ubnritted an "Application for Rezoning" plus a $2500.00 fee, to the TOwTIship.
Tllis was done onlv after pre-consultation with the TownsJ-Iip Planner, the BuiJding Clliefand the
Fire Department in accordance with the Township's "Guidelines for Development" (Sept. 1999).
That is to say, prior to paying the $2500.00, we established the criteria which had to be 111et in
order to achieve successful rezoning.
We subsequently felt that we had satisfied all requirements but were told that was not so.
OUf correspondence of Oct. 30, 2001 (attached as Annex A), explains our position.
Note, that under the circumstances, we expected full refund of our $2500.00 fee. In fact we
received only one half of the fee !
FoHowing talks with lvls Zieleniewski, and ~ls Leigh we were directed to you, the :tvlayor and
your Council.
tvly wife and I feel that we have been unfairly treated/charged and ask you to redress the situation.
Weare willing to appear before Council to further illunllnate tIlis request.
Yours truly,

REFERENCE:- REZONING APPLICA nON
Dear Andria;
Recently we &ubmitted a Professional Architects report (attached as Annex A) as requested by the
Township's Building Officer, in support of our rezoning application. This report was adjudged by
the Township as being unacceptable.
We subsequently hired a different, independent Architect to review this report. He concluded that
Mr Myles Allison's report was full and sufficient, with respect to the Township's original
directive (attached as Annex B).
The same architect at our request, approached the Building Officer requesting information that
might resolve Blackberry Hill's misunderstanding/misconception vis a vis the status of our
rezoning application.
After due consideration of the independent architect's subsequent report, it would appear that
little, if any, support exists for the rezoning efforts and future planning of Blackberry Hill Farm.
Therefore, we would request that the rezoning application be withdrawn, and a refund of our fee
be considered.
We appreciate your advice and patience, and hope that our ill-advised efforts did not cause undue
aggravation with1n the Township's offices.
Yours sincerely,
Peter and Margaret Kells.

Attn: Mavor J. Neil Craig, Deputy Mayor Walter Dickie. Councillor's Paul Marshall.
Donald Bell. Ralph Hough. Harrv Hughes. and Ruth Fountain
Dear Sirs and Madam:
I received a phone call last week from my girlfriend informing me that the Flynn
family Christmas gathering was now being held at a home in Barrie on December
14th. The reason I am telling you this is that the Hawkestone Community Hall
was booked for this party last year for this date this year. We have had the
Flynn Christmas at the hall for the last three years and it was booked with Judy
Catania soon after the party last year for the fourth year in a row.
What I am so upset about is that my girlfriend Dawn Flynn received a phone call
from the new scheduler of the hall saying that they wanted to have the Christmas
Pageant that weekend and could she change the date.
Well, by the time Dawn got back to her after being in contact with all the family
members to say it was not possible, the Christmas Pageant had been scheduled
for December 14th, and the Flynn's were out of luck. There was also a comment
about Dawn having to pay the additional upcharge even though she had booked
the hall at the old rate one year in advance!
I realize that you are hearing this from a third party, but I feel very strongly
about how unprofessionally this situation was handled, and that it should be
brought to your attention. Why should the Hall have the right to change a
booking that was booked a year in advance? I understand that the hall is
handled by volunteers, but ultimately it is the township's responsibility. I feel
there must be some guidelines followed even though volunteers are involved.
Lastly, I want you to know that I have rented the hall in the past, but will not be
doing so in the future due to the fact of how poorly I feel this was handled.
Yours truly,
Ii

I am .endlng thl. letter .. a follow up to one you received from Lynda
Gray on October 30,2002.
I did rent the Hawk..tone Hall to Kevin Flynn on. year In advanced ..
we had done In the years before, and because he rented the hall from
me at this time I told him he could have It at the lower rate as the Hall
board had decided to up the rent In January of 2002.
I feel what was done to them was not called for but this is not the only
ISBue that has arisen since I gave up the bookings, the other being Ann
Jorgensen who has rented the second Saturday of November for her
craft .ale and has done for over 10 year., this year she was given a
hassle but with some hard work It worked out to her advantage.
I feel that this was unfair to Kevin and his family, and now they are
being made to make due, with someplace smaller, because an exc.
Has taken over the date they had requested, this hall I thought was for
anyone to rent, but It seem only If the chosen few don't need It.
I don't know If anything can be done for the Flynn's but an apology I
f..1 Is In order.
I leave this In your hands.

Dear Oro-Medonte Mayor and Council:
This letter is in reference to the November 7,2002 notification Re: New Block "A", Block
"B" and Block "C", Plan 709 attached hereto. All members of the current executive
unanimously endorse this response.
The following paragraph from Jennifer Zieleniewski's letter of April 23, 2002 to the Oro Lea
Beach Association states as follows:
"Finally, more discussion must take place in regards to the disposition of the lands and
funds with all interested parties. As agreed previously, I intend to meet with a committee
of representatives, of which I believe you have requested to be a part. This committee will
review the draft notice to be circulated to al/ the appropriate land owners in Plan 709 to
determine consensus on how best to proceed with the disposition of the assets."
In addition Mayor Craig's letter of April 10, 2002 to the Oro Lea Beach Association states
as follows:
""However, all "back lot" residents must come to a unanimous conclusion on disposition of
funds and land."
No meeting with a committee of representatives has taken place prior to the registered
letter being sent out on November 7,2002. Consequently, residents are without the
information from the meeting that was promised. The letter and the format of the
accompanying "Options" seems to have overlooked the statement of April 1 0, as it
specifies that property owners can independently decide on their own option.
. </\ '1
,', .~ '--" () )-d
. The Oro Lea Beach Association (Residents of Plan 709), strongly feel that there are a lot ,/
of unanswered questions with regards to this letter where answers are needed before
residents can make an informed decision. The minimum information is as follows:
1. Do the property owners who elect Option "C" retain their legally deeded rights to the
New Block "A", Block "B" and Block "C", Plan 709?
2. Do the property owners in Plan 709 retain there legally deeded rights to the part of
Block "A" that is proposed or has been sold?
3. Can deeded rights legally be removed without the written consent of the individual
property owner?
4. Does signing and returning the Option Response form sent by the township constitute
the legal consent necessary to convey property andlor change deeded rights?
5. Does not signing and returning the Option Response form sent by the township as
stipulated constitute the legal consent necessary to convey property and remove
deeded rights?
6. Are there provision for those, or subsequent property owners, to opt in or out at later
dates?
7. Is there provision in the conveyance to prevent those who elect Option "A" or Option
"B" from selling the property and pocketing the receipts of the sale at a later date?
8. Was this notification sent to all residents of plan 709?
9. Are there provisions to adequately protect those whose names are conveyed to the
property from personal claims that could exceed insurance coverage?
10. Are there provisions to protect against the possibility of skyrocketing premiums and
excessive taxes on the property?
11. What are the advantages and disadvantages for corporation and individual status? If
corporation is elected who pays the costs?
Clear answers to the above need to be provided in writing by the township. Those of a
legal nature require provisions for financial support to obtain opinions from independent
counsel and a reasonable length of time. We are please that in the letter of November 7,
2002 the township reaffirms its August 10, 2000 commitment of paying "all legal costs
associated with this plan, including our costs and the municipalities' costs" providing each
property owner independent legal counsel at "no cost". Assuming a prompt reply, the
minimum extension required is until March 30, 2003.
We would request that all property owners receive by registered mail, confirmation of time
extension with the opportunity to revise options selected.

Re: New Block "A ", Block "B" and Block "C", Plan 709
Dear Property Owner:
The Township of Oro-Medonte has held severa] meetings regarding the above restricted access parkland
parcels, and the Council of the Township did decide, after advice from the Township's staff and consultants,
that it is neither in the Township's interest, nor in the public interest to retain Township ownership in the
parkland designated as the New Block A, Block B and Block C, Plan 709.
As the construction work with regard to the drainage has now been finished and the appraisals have also been
completed, the municipality is now in a position to proceed with the conveyance to you, at no cost, of an
ownership interest in the said lands.
The total appraised value for the New Block A, Block B and Block C, Plan 709, is $392,000.00. Please
consider this information as Private and Confidential as it is being shared only with the affected property
owners of Plan 709.
Options A and B are now presented to solicit your written preference (as the owner of lands within Plan 709)
as to how you wish to proceed with the conveyance.
It is the municipality's opinion that Option A, "joint tenants" is the better option. Liability insurance for the
conveyed lands may be covered under your homeowners policy if the "joint tenant" option is chosen. Insurance
for a corporation would require a separate policy.
Our Treasury Department has estimated, that based on the appraised value of the New Block A, Block Band
Block C, Plan 709, the total taxes will be approximately $4,470.00. However, please be advised that when the
assessment office assesses these properties the figures could differ. If Option A is selected, the apportioned
taxes will be included in your individual tax bill. If Option B is selected, the entire tax bill will be sent to the
corporation.
Should the preferred option be Option B, " as a corporation", the Township will assist in that venue.
Your written response is requested by Dccember 9, 2002.
I
.
c 50) -Lj
. Please be advised, that if this form has not been returned to the Township Office by the above noted date,
it will be deemed that you as the owner of lands within Plan 709, have chosen Option A, which is
conveyance as "joint tenants" at no cost, of an ownership interest in the New Block A, Block B and Block
C, Plan 709.
If you have any questions or require further information, please contact Marilyn Pennycook, Clerk, at (705)

Dear Mrs. Hughes:
Re: Oro Lea Beach (Block A) Plan 709
I am in receipt of your letter dated March 26, 2002 and take this opportunity to address
. the concerns you have expressed subsequent to Mayor Beard's response to your original
letter of February 11, 2002, a copy of which is attached.
With respect to the appraisal on the above property, much discussion has occurred with
regards to its contents. In fact, upon investigation, it was discovered that an error in lot
size was applied during the land value calculation. The ramification of this error is
significant given that the properties being appraised could no longer be considered
building lots. Hence the land appraiser has submitted two supplementary draft versions
for Councils' consideration. As previously stated, draft land appraisals are confidential to
Council until such time as the property matter has been dealt with.
Again in an attempt to be open and fair, Council delayed third reading of an amendment
to By-law 96-35 "Procedure - Sale of Real Property", to provide an opportunity for
public input. I understand that you were infonned of Council's intention to amend this
by-law. It was recognized at the onset that an amendment would be advisable to the by-
law to facilitate disposal of Blocks A, Band C, Plan 709. The amendment is entirely in
accordance with the Municipal Act, which alJows for this amendment to our by-law and
provides the legal methods for the disposition of lands, under the ownership of local
governments. It is this legislation that pennits Council to dispose ofBJock A, B & C to
the residents without forn1alJy offering the said lands for sale on the open market.
. With respect to the contemplated transfer of ownership of Plan 187 Block 38 for the
exclusive use of Plan 709, it was a suggestion originalJy emanating from staff and, on the
" .
3C~) /1 '
/ c. .
,. .-
. surface, seemed reasonable. Upon further investigation, the proposal was deemed
unfeasible with regard to the application of the legislative requirements. Staff
considered every perspective before finaJly conceding that, in the best interest of the
community, the property remain public with aJl responsibilities for the care, liability and
development on the municipality. The status at present is undeveloped green space and
is available for the enjoyment of all.
FinaJly, more discussion must take place in regards to the disposition of the lands and
funds with all interested parties. As agreed previously, I intend to meet with a committee
of representatives, of which 1 believe you have requested to be a part. This committee
will review the draft notice to be circulated to aJl the appropriate landowners in Plan 709
to detemline consensus on how best to proceed with the disposition of the assets. Also,
as previously stated, it would be appropriate at that time to discuss the methodology
applied by Council to arrive at a sale price.
1 will be corresponding with you directly regarding other issues of concern to me related
to your letter of March 26, 2002.

Dear Ms. Hughes:
Re: Request for Update, Plan 709, Park Block' A'
Council received your correspondence of February 11, 2002 at their meeting of February 20, at
which time Council discussed your concerns with regard to Plan 709 deliberations.
,rstIY, in answer to your question of the confidentiality of appraisals for waterfront lots. The
eeting on January 9, 2002 was held with front lot property owners only in an attempt to
expedite a process of "intent to purchase" put forth by the CAO in compliance with Council's
direction. The process would have been carried out by personal appointment for each front lot
property owner, however, in the interest of saving time, a joint appointment was arranged for all
front lot property owners on the 9th. At that time, those appraisals directly affecting front lot
owners were discussed. Also, front lot property owners were asked at that time to state their
"intent to buy" at the price decided by Council. If all front lot owners are not amenable to the
purchase of the property adjoining their lots, the entire project plan will be deferred to Council
for deliberation of other options available to divest the Township of its interest in Blocks A, B
and C, Plan 709. The land appraisals are considered confidential at this time.
As I am sure your legal counsel will confirm, Ontario Regulation 815/94 states:
"a municipality may sell the following classes of real property without
obtaining an appraisal under subsection 193(41 of the Act: (41 land
that does not have direct access to a highway if sold to the owner of
land abutting that land"
In other words, Council was not legislatively bound to obtain an appraisal on the property in
question. It was Council's wish, however, in this instance to have an appraisal done as a
beginning point toward negotiations of the sale.
tdditionallY, it is Council's intention not to "sell" to back lot owners those parcels known as
ark Block A, Block B and Block C but rather to remove the Township interest from these lands
~nd transfer the ownership over to the back lot residents of Plan 709. A copy of the full report
to Council detailing the necessary steps tobe-taken,--as--well-as-at+aehe€!-60HespeAd€Hee from
back lot residents of Plan 709 supporting this option, is enclosed. As you will see, the report
. .
~ /0-
-. .
f~ !
I
SO determined that the proceeds from the sale of the lands would be held in trust and
tcated to the recreational development of Block 'B' and 'C' and the newly created parcel .
Block 'A' in Plan 709. It is Council's intent to work with all back lot residents to
etermine the vehicle best suited to residents and the Township in relinquishing the proceeds
om the sale.
'0 address your remarks regarding By-law 96-35, the proposed sale of lands as outlined is not
ddressed in this by-law. However, By-law 96-35 is a by-law of Council of the Township of
)ro-Medonte and is in place to comply with legislation as set out in the Municipal Act, Section
93. This legislation states that the Council of a municipality will put in place a procedure to
leal with the sale of surplus lands - it does not detail the procedure to be put in place. (t is
:ouncil's prerogative, therefore, to determine the procedure for sale of surplus property within
.he Township of Oro-Medonte given that it must comply with the Act. In order to dispose of
:his property (Blocks A, Band C), Council must amend By-law 96-35 to allow for the removal of
ts interest in these lands without going through a tender or real estate process. The amendment
affects not only Blocks A, Band C in Plan 709, but also affects similar surplus lands within the
Township in which a landowner has a legal interest in the property such as a right-of-way or
restrictive covenant. Council is currently deliberating such an amendment to this by-law.
Lastly, it has always been Council's intention to be completely above board in its dealings with
the public, especially where disposal of Township land is concerned. From the beginning of the
process with residents of Plan 709, Council has done its utmost to ensure that residents had an
!portunity to give input and direct the outcome of the process toward a "win-win" situation for
eryone involved. I believe we have been "transparent" in these deliberations and have
ecognized the diverse opinions of residents. Council is confident that once the back lot
residents realize the value of Blocks A, Band C that is being afforded by the Township divesting
itself of its interest in the property, they will realize the strength of Council's resolve to bring
these issues to the best possible conclusion for all parties involved.
I regret that your Association feels that legal action may be necessary. It is Council's intention
to avoid any further costs to the Township in this matter, since Council has already conceded to
be responsible for all legal costs associated with the transfer of Part of Block' A', Block 'B' and
Block 'C'. Hopefully, your Association will reconsider this action.
Thank you for your comments. I hope your questions have been answered to your satisfaction.

Dear Mrs. Hughes:
Re: Oro Lea Beach Association letter reqardinq Plan 709
I am in receipt of your letter dated March 26, 2002 and would offer the following
observations on your remarks.
. Firstly, the Council of Oro-Medonte, past and present, has been involved from the
beginning in the process of attempting to remove the Township interest from any legal
ownership in the lands in question. Council also prides itself on always involving the
public in any process. Residents involvement is sought to obtain input and to determine
the direction Council should take in its attempt to remedy possibly tense situations. Such
was the case with the Plan 709 property. The "front lot" residents as well as members,
and indeed, non-members of the Oro Lea Beach Association have been invited to give
input to Council and to express their wishes as to how best to accomplish the Township's
goal.
In the past you have, on behalf of the Association I believe, requested information from
the Township and have received such information with the exception of documents which
were confidential or pertained to confidential information related to a third party. I have
not been made aware of any deviation from the Township practice of sharing public
information.
As part of the process to bring closure to this exercise, Council has directed that the
"back lot" residents of Plan 709 be given an opportunity to choose which option would
best suit them for disposition of lands and funds. Your input at a meeting in this vein
would be beneficial. As you can well understand, consensus is the key to a favourable
solution for all involved. To date, the "front lot" residents have agreed, unanimously, to
the purchase of their adjoining properties at the price established by Council. However,
." all "back lot" residents must come to a unanimous conclusion on disposition of funds and
land.
~ ) -1/
Mrs. Hughes, I can assure you that the allegations stated in your letter are unfounded.
Perhaps these allegations stem from a lack of understanding of the process, or frustration
t in the length of time necessary to bring this matter to a close. In either case, Council is
fully aware of the steps being taken by the Chief Administrative Officer to remove the
Township interest from this property.
Staff of the Township, especially the Chief Administrative Officer, Jennifer Zieleniewski,
have always maintained an open and helpful attitude toward the residents of Oro-
Medonte. I am certain that, should you need clarification on a point, or indeed should you
require a meeting with staff to iron out some misconceptions concerning the process, you
need only ask.
I trust this letter answers your concerns and gives you a better understanding of Council's
role in property negotiations. It is my understanding that the Chief Administrative Officer
will also be corresponding with you regarding these matters. Hopefully, you will take
advantage of the offer to liaise with staff in an effort to come to an amicable solution.

Dear Mr. Craig,
I was pleased to be part of a large crowd at the Remembrance Day Service at the Town Hall on
Sun. Nov. 10,2002. It was conducted with dignity and thankfulness. A special portion of the
service for me was having a young woman taking part by playing Reveille and the Last Post and
accompanying the hymn-singing.
However, one thing I found disturbing, and because it is still bothering me, I felt compelled to
write this letter.
Why was the American flag on stage with all our other township, provincial, Canadian as well as
flags of other Canadian organizations? To me , it was an affront, especially in the current
circumstances that we find ourselves in, being on the verge of being drawn in to another war by
the United States.
Who decides what flags are flown at times like this? Will council examine the policy, if there is
one, so that next time when a public display of flags are to be used, we will see flags of our own
country, of which we are very proud, without the need to show a foreign country's flag.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours truly,
E.1 Caldwell.6

DEPT. REPORT TO: Council PREPARED BY:
#PR2002-14 Chris Carter
SUBJECT & FILE #: DEPARTMENT:
COUNCIL: Parks & Recreation
Request from the Oro District
C.OFW. Lions Club to install Distance
Markers along the Oro-Medon e
Lake Country Railtrail
MOTION #: DATE:
DATE: November 27, 2002
~)).4.<?J{GR6.I.t~;"" i
At the Committee of the Whole Meeting of October 9, 2002 staff was directed to prepare a report with respect
to installing Distance Markers along the Ow Medonte Lake Country RaiItrail (attachment #1). The request was
brought forward by Oro District Lions Club who have volunteered to supply 27; 6"x6"x8"pressure treated
wooden posts that would be located at every km along the trail. All markers will be diagonally cut at 21"
(attachment #2). The Club is also suggesting that each Marker will have attached a crest of the Lions Club, Oro
Medonte Lake Country Railtrail, and Distance Marking (Attachment #3).
Both the Trail Advisory Committee and the Recreation Advisory Committee recommends the Distance Markers
be installed on the Lakeshore side of the Trail (Where the existing signage is) and the Kilometers only read one
way (ex: starting from Barrie (lkm) to Oriilia (27km). (Attachement #4).
tSI.tMN1.4.R~~ -
Upon review of the letter and having met with Mr. Frank Lawson (Oro District Lions Club) to discuss specifics,
he concurs with staff recommendations (Attachment #5):
Marking: Staff recommends that Council approve the installation of27 Distance Markers along the Trail and
the Markers be installed on the Lakeshore Side of the trail. The Roads Superintendent concurs with having the
Public Works Dept, "mark" the trail in lkm intervals as soon as the necessary "locating" infonnation is
provided.
!(i\ometer Marking: It was recommended by the Lions Club that the Kilometer Numbering be marked as
showing one way (attachment #4). Staffis not in compliances with respect to the proposed numbering style,
and it is recommended that the Distance Markers have the kilometers showing both directions (Attachment #6).
.
Installation: Staff recommends that Simcoe Fencing be authorized to install the Distance Markers for a fee of
$3,000.00. The Lions Club wilJ contribute $1,000.00 towards the installation.
/ \ """'
)'?
v
Maintenance: The Lions Club will contribute to the replacing of markers if any become damaged.
Presentation: Staff recommends only the Lions Club logo and the kilometer numbering are marked on the
posts. Due to adequate advertising along the trail, staffis not recommending to have Lake Country Railtrail
symbol located on the markers. Also, staff is not recommending the use of plastic signs as a method to
advertise the Lions Club logo and the kilometer numbering (Attachment #7). Staff recommends having them
"laser" imprinted (attachment: "on table"). This will make the Markers look as "rustic"! "natural" looking as
possible. The Lions Club has agreed to pay for the "laser" imprinting (approx $810.00).
'~(pQa1i;1N-Q'~'t'(Q1N~~NN!! ,
1. That Council receives and adopts this report.
2. That Council approves the installation of the 27 Distance Markers along the lakeshore side of
Oro-Medonte Lake Country RailtraiJ.
3. That the Public Works Department begins "marking" the RailtraiJ.
4. That Simcoe Fence be notified accordingly.
5. That Oro District Lions Club be notified accordingly.
6. That Council approves the Kilometer Numbering showing both directions.
7. That Council approves the Oro District Lions Club Symbol and the Kilometer Numbering be "laser"

Committee financially for the sum of $1500.00.
The Township of Oro-Medonte contributed $1500.00 to both Orillia and Barrie to
assist in Doctor recruitment to our area.
At the Council Meeting held October 16, 2002 Council received a deputation
from a Community Task Force created to recruit and retain Family Physicians to
Barrie and the surrounding region. Dr. Evelyn Elsey, Valley Road Health
Centre, Pamela Gilchrist, Barrie & Area Recruitment Officer, Richard Kelly,
Director Human Resources, Royal Victoria Hospital and Dr. Jim Bolton made the
presentation to Council.
The committee members amended their financial request and are asking for a
financial contribution from the municipality in the form of a three-year
commitment in the amount of $10,000.00 for this year and an additional
$10,000.00 for 2003 and again in 2004.

I ANALYSIS ~
The medical community has worked exceptionally hard, with success over the
past number of years to recruit new doctors to our community. It is understood
that the lack of family physicians is prevalent across the country with various
communities competing to attract and recruit doctors to their area with Simcoe
County being no exception.
However, the effort to recruit physicians cost money, as was indicated in the
Physician Recruitment Committee's presentation to Council. It is estimated that
the annual cost to host visiting physicians to be approximately $60,000.00. Many
organizations participate financially in supporting these efforts including
municipal government.
As the municipality did contribute financially to the Doctor recruitment in 2002
in the amount of $1500.00 to both Barrie and Orillia, this request for additional
funding for 2002 is unfortunate timing, as additional funding was not budgeted
for in the 2002 budget deliberations.
It is recommended that the Township deny the request for additional funding for
the year 2002 and that Council considers the request for the year 2003 during the
2003 budget deliberations.
As an election of municipal council members will be held in November 2003, it is
recommended that the decision for funding in 2004 be considered at that time.
I RECOMMENDATION I
1. THAT Council receives and adopts this report.
2. THAT the request for 2003 be considered during the 2003 budget
deliberations, and;
3. THAT the decision for funding in 2004 be considered at that time.
4. THAT staff prepares a response for the Mayor's signature, advising the
Recruitment Committee of Council's decision with respect to the unfortunate
timing of their request for addition funding for the year of 2002.

COUNCIL:
Drainage Agreement - Lot 16, Roads
Concession 9 - L & L Paving
C.OFW.: and Landscaping
DATE: November 1, 2002
MOTION #:
DATE: R. M. FILE #:
J(~~~;~~~Q!iT~4i; /.,
In the Eady area, surface water runs from approximately the C.P.R. rail line in a northerly direction to
County Road #19 (Moonstone Road), or westerly to Line 10, and then north to County Road #19.
This water then flows east to a cross culvert on County Road #19 and then north across the property
of Lot 16, Concession 9, to the Sturgeon River (flow map attached). The flow of all this water is
natural, including the property of L & L Paving and Landscaping, who have recently purchased this
property.
In early October, 2001, L & L Paving and Landscaping pushed fill into the drainage ditch on their
property, which caused the water flow to back up on County Road #19. Meetings with Mr. Jerry
Laughlin of L & L Paving and Landscaping, County of Simcoe personnel, and Mr. Jerry Ball, were
held to rectify this situation. As the property owner for the past three years, Mr. Laughlin's concerns
were that he no longer wanted this drainage water flowing across the property, as it was flooding his
sod fields.
Due to the time of the year, Mr. Laughlin agreed to the removal of the fill from the ditch, which would
allow the water to flow, provided the County of Simcoe and the Township complete a survey in the
Spring of 2002, and attempt to run the drainage water farther east to an existing stream, which would
eliminate the need of a ditch across his property.
A survey of both the north and south ditches along County Road #19 revealed that in order to run
water easterly to the existing stream, both ditches would have to be deepened an additional two to
five feet to obtain the proper grade elevation. In order to keep within County and Township
specifications for roadside ditches, this work would require storm sewers, catch basins and a possible
guild rail system to achieve a 3:1 slope from the road shoulder to the ditch bottom. On October 2,
2002, an on-site meeting with Mr. Laughlin, Doug McCutcheon from the County of Simcoe, and Jerry
Ball was held, and a decision made to make the ditch on Lot 16, Concession 9 a Mutual Agreement
Drain, with the cost of construction and further maintenance being shared equally between the three
parties.
. . ~\/},
. t ~{JMMARY: . .. .' .. .., ':.. .... ....i::,~~"....i.i'~:;.I:f~~3: .. _
As the necessary work was verbally agreed upon, a Draft Mutual Agreement Drain (copy attached)
was prepared for all parties and an estimate of $2,000.00 for the drain construction was submitted.
To reduce any flooding problems along Line 10 North, it is recommended that the municipality
proceed with the Mutual Agreement Drain on Mr. Laughlin's property.

PART A - THE PREAMBLE
1.0 Purpose
The purpose of this Amendment it to change the land use designation applying to lands
located in East Half of Lot 7, Concession 7 (formerly Township of Ora) from the "Rura]"
designation to the "Mineral Aggregate Resources" designation.
2.0 Location
This Amendment affects approximately 7.6 hectares (18.7 acres) ofJand in the East Half
of Lot 7, Concession 7 as shown on Schedule "A" attached. The property is located on
Line 7 North above the Old Barrie Road. The Amendment changes the designation of the
property on Schedule "AI2" of the Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan.
3.0 Basis
The subject property is a total of 40.47 hectares (100 acres) of which 32.87 hectares
(81.22 acres) is currently designated Mineral Aggregate Resources in the Township
Official Plan. Lands to the north, west, south, and east are aU currently designated
Mineral Aggregate Resources in the Township Offici a] Plan. Lands to the south and east
are also currently the site of active licensed aggregate operations.
The subject lands are located on Line 7 North, which is one of the designated haul routes
in the Township. The other lands designated in the vicinity of Line 7 North were aU
zoned and licensed in accordance with an Ontario Municipal Board decision in ] 994.
The property is located within the Oro Moraine, which is currently the subject of a Land
Use Strategy review. This application was reviewed by the Environmenta] Consuhants
and Planning Consuhants completing that work to ensure compliance with the intent of
that strategy. Due to the existing land uses in this vicinity the proposed amendment to
include the remainder of the subject lands within the Minera] Aggregate Resources
designation is considered appropriate and is consistent with the Land Use Strategy being
developed for the Oro Moraine. There are specific rehabilitation measures to be
implemented on the License issued by the Ministry of Natura] Resources in order to
ensure the lands are rehabilitated to natura] forestation upon completion of extraction and
that the cJosure plan include active re-planting with native trees not passive succession in
order to enhance the surrounding natura] heritage system to the north-west.
.
Two reports were completed by the applicant in support ofthe application including:
1. Impact Assessment of an Aggregate Application (Geological Investigations)-
November 9,2001
This report confirmed that aggregate in sufficient quantities for extraction are located
on the site.
2. Natural Environment Study and Impact Assessment (J. Dobell & Assoc) - August
2001
This report concJudes that the proposed pit, while necessitating the removal of 7.6
hectares of woodlot, wiJ] have no negative impact in the larger significant woodlot in
the northwest.
These reports were reviewed by Consultants retained by the Township incJuding Azimuth
Environmental Consulting Inc.
The applicant has completed an Environmental Impact Study and has confirmed that the
proposed expansion wi11 have minimal impact on any defined feature of Provincial
significance. In addition, the applicant's consultant has indicated that the amount ofland
to be cleared is very small compared to the size of the larger forest unit. In addition, this
area does not support any watercourse or other significant natural features. On the basis
of the Township's review of the various reports, the Township accepts this concJusion.
The applicant has indicated that the proposed pit expansion wi11 not impact on the
groundwater recharge function of the area. In addition, extraction wiJ] not intercept the
water table, as it wi11 not occur within 1.5 metres of the water table. No on-site washing
of aggregate is proposed, thereby lessening the potential impact. In order to ensure that
extraction does not occur cJose to the water table, a number of monitoring wells wi11 be
dri11ed as a condition of approval. The Township agrees with these concJusions.
Given that a pit is a fairly intrusive land use, the character of the property wi11 certainly
change if the application is approved. It should be recognized however that this
application is located in the vicinity of five other jicense aggregate operations that
identify the character of this specific area. However. the applicant has indicated that a
number of measures will be undertaken to further minimize the impact of the pit on the
character of the area. These include:
1. Boundary adjacent to neighbouring property to north to be planted with trees,
transplanted from other locations on the site, to provide an obstruction to the
visibility of the operation.
. <6~/~
.
2. Berms to be constructed using on-site materials and placed along Line 7 north and
boundary with neighbour to north to provide mitigation to noise and visibility of
the aggregate operation.
It is the Township's opinion that the measures above wiJ] ensure that the impacts of the
propose operation are mitigated as best they can be.
On the basis of the review, the supporting studies and the reviews of the studies by the
Township's consultant, it is Council's opinion that that proposed aggregate operation will
have a minimal impact on the environment, the character of the area, and the groundwater
recharge function of the Oro Moraine. On this basis, it is recommended that the County
of Simcoe approve the application for Official Plan Amendment.

Thank you for circulating the public meeting notice 10 this office.
TI1e westerly section of the: subject lands, as shown on th.e enclosed map is located witbjn the: Copeland Forest
Unit (OMZ) of the Greenlands Designation of the County Official Plan.. This unit includes adjacent upland and
lowland habitat, and extensive forested areas of undulating wpography. Enclosed for your information is a
brief summary of the: fe:awres and functions for wbich the area has been identified.
Prior 10 approval, the applicant is required 10 demonsU"ate, through an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) ,
that the proposed development can be accommodated and the significant characteristics of~ area maintained.
Staff is aware that an ElS was prepared, however a copy bas not been circulated w this office.
COI1Sidering tbis Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-law Amendment, without an EIS is contrary 10
Section 3.7.6 of the County Official Plan which states that "...u ses permitted conditionally within the
Greenland designation, with acceptable results from an ElS, are extractive resource developments". Thus prior
to consideration of OJe position taken regarding establishing the principle of development within the
Gree:nlands, an E1.S is required to be: reviewed to determine if l11e features and functions can accommodate tJ)js
type of devc:lopment witJJout negative impact.
County PlalIDing staff request that the consideration of these applications be deferred until the ElS and other
applicable sWdies have been received and reviewed by the County Planning Department. "C:"",~.

PJanninQ Department Comments (September 14. 2001)
The application is a proposal for a new pit operation on a property owned by
Lloyd Squire. The application before the Committee is a request for an Official
Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment. To date, the applicant has provided an
Natural Environmental Study and Impact Assessment and a complete set of Site
Plan drawings. The applicant is currently completing additional studies in
support of this application. In accordance with the Township, these studies will
be required to be technically reviewed by the Township Consultants prior to a
complete report being presented to this Committee for consideration.
The applicant will also be proceeding at a future date with the required
application under the Aggregate Resources Act.
Recommendation
It is recommended that Development Application P-1 02/00 a proposed Official
Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment be deferred until the appropriate peer
review comments are received and reviewed; and further that this be brought
back to Planning Advisory Committee for future consideration.
PlanninQ Department Comments (December 3. 2001)
The applicant has now completed additional studies to support his application
and these are currently being technically reviewed by Township Consultants.
Section D5.3 outlines the conditions under which new mineral aggregate
operations may be permitted. This section indicates that all new operations shall
require an amendment to the implementing Zoning By-law and shall be subject
to the requirements of Section 05.3.1.2 and DS.3.1.3.
Section DS.3.1.2 relates to the assessment of environmental impact. This
section requires the applicant to complete an Environmental Impact Study that
addresses, in accordance with Section G3 - Requirements for an
Environmental Impact Study:
2
.
,
" '
. ~C\\)/!~
I
a) the effect of the operation of the pit or quarry on:
. the natural features and ecological functions of the area;
. nearby communities;
. agricultural resources;
. the character of the area;
. the groundwater table; and,
. nearby wells used for drinking water purposes;
b) the effect of the increased truck traffic on the environment;
c) the suitability of the proposed haul routes;
d) the effect of the noise, odour, dust and vibration generated by
the proposed use on adjacent land uses; and,
e) how the site will be progressively rehabilitated to accommodate
subsequent land uses after the extraction is completed; and,
f) how the impacts from the proposed pit or quarry will be
mitigated in order to lessen those impacts.
The EIS prepared in accordance with this Section shall demonstrate
that there will be no negative impacts resulting from the development
of a new mineral aggregate extraction use on the significant natural
features that are identified on Schedule 'B' to this Plan or the
ecological functions for which the area is identified.
The Township Consultant is currently reviewing this study to ensure that the
study complies with the requirements of Section DS.3.1.2 and Section G3. If
additional details are required the applicant will be advised and requested to
complete this work.
Section D5.3.1.3 - Assessment of added impact requires that an applicant
complete an assessment of the added impact of the proposed pit operation on
the items listed in Section DS.3.1.2 and that also takes into account the impacts
of:
a) existing pit or quarry operations in the general area;
b) future pit or quarry operations on lands in the general area that
are designated for aggregate extraction but not yet licensed
under the Aggregate Resources Act.
In considering the added impact of the new pit operation to existing known
impacts, Council shall ensure that mitigation measures intended to lessen the
added impact are reviewed and applied as required. During the course of this
review, phasing options shall be considered by the applicant as one means to

minimize the combined impacts of the proposed pit or quarry and existing pits or ~ 0.) r \_ \
quarries on the general area.
The applicants have now completed an impact assessment of an aggregate
operation and this is currently being reviewed. A copy of this is attached for the
Committee's reference. If additional details are required the applicant will be
advised and requested to complete this work.
All studies required by the Official Plan have now been submitted, it is
recommended that a Public Meeting now be scheduled to allow public input to
the application and the related technical work prior to any amendments being
made to the reports.
Recommendation
It is recommended to Council that Development Application P-121/01 a
proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment proceed to a Public
Meeting in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act.
Planninq Department Comments (September 12, 2002)
On February 20, 2002 a public meeting was held on both the Official Plan
Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment which would permit the subject
property to be utilized for aggregate extraction. A copy of the minutes of the
meeting are attached for the Committee's reference.
At that meeting a letter was received from the County of Simcoe requesting that
the application be deferred until their consideration of an Environmental Impact
Study. A copy of this letter is attached for the Committee's review. On May 29,
2002 a revised letter was received from the County indicating that they were
satisfied with the Environmental Impact Study and requested that the Identified
Environmental Concerns and Mitigation Techniques noted in Section 6 become
part of the rehabilitation plan to be considered by the Ministry of Natural
Resources for final approval. The Township agrees that this should be
incorporated into the rehabilitation plan and would require the rehabilitation plan
to be amended to the satisfaction of the Township prior to consideration of the
Zoning By-law Amendment.
On February 20, 2002 comments regarding the Environmental Impact Study
were submitted by the Township's Consultant and these are attached for the
Committee. These comments were forwarded to the applicant and revisions
were provided to the Township on August 15, 2002 to satisfy these items.
On this basis, it is now recommended that the Official Plan Amendment to re-
designate a portion of the property from Rural to Mineral Aggregate Resources
be considered favorably by the Committee and that the appropriate Official Plan
4
: .
- ~(P
Amendment be drafted for favorable consideration of Council. The zoning by-
law amendment would not be presented until such time as the Committee
reviews revised plans for the operation and rehabilitation and the Official Plan
Amendment has received approval from the County of Simcoe.
--
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Official Plan Amendment for Lloyd Squire,
Application P-121/01 be drafted to re-designated lands in Concession 7, East
Half of Lot 7 (Oro) from the Rural designation to the Mineral Aggregate
Resources designation and be presented to Council for favorable consideration.

Attention: Ms Andria Leigh

Re: Proposed Squire Pit - Review Of J. Dobell & Assoc. and Geological
Investigations Responses To Onr Peer Review
Dear Andria;
We have completed our review of the responses trom J. Dobel1 & Assoc. and Geological
Investigations and provide the following comments.
J. Dobell & Assoc. (letter of Marcb 28, 2002)
Mr. DobeH has confinned that all the species present in the subject woodlot and
surrounding lands are included in the appendices, and that the loss of the woodlot and
associated extraction operations wiJJ not adversely impact the local population of the
species identified, As documented by Mr. Dobell, no provinciaJJy significant species wilJ
be affected and in the long tenn restoration with native species will assist in restoring the
lost wildlife habitat.
Considering the aforementioned and existing area affected by the adjacent Lafarge
extraction area, we agree with Mr. DobeJJ's conclusions that the loss of the forest habitat
is not significant. We have no further issues with the Natural Environmental Study and
Impact Assessment.
Geological Investigations (letter of August 15, 2002)
The letter from Mr. Fitgerald confinns that the proposed pit wilJ be constructed in
accordance with an MNR approval that wilJ maintain at least 1.5m of unsaturated
overburden between the pit floor and the water table, They state that the distance is

likely to be greater than that given the opresence of finer grained sediments and therefore
further aeJineation of the water table is not required.
The majority ofthoe comments we made previously should be addressed through the
Aggregate Act approvals required from MNR. As long as the standards required by
MNR a:re met and the pit excavates above the water table (as is the current plan), it is
unlikely that there would be significant impact to the ground water regime. MNR should
ensure that ground water recharge is maintained across the property. The proposed pit is
located in and adjacent to lands considered as a core area of the Oro Moraine. A$ such,
the Township should require that the closure plan return the lands to natural forestation,
and that the closure plan include active re-p!aJ)ting with native trees (as opposed to
passive succession).
If you require any further clarification on the aforementioned issues, please call me.

DATED at Toronto, this 16th day of October, 2002.
ACTING SECRETARY
Ontario Municipal Board Rules on ADJOURNMENTS ~b)~~.
Comments on Adjournment of Proceedings (Board Rules 61 to 65 below): The Board will not often grant adjournments (later dates) for hearings or other proceedings.
Parties and the Board spend time and money in giving notice, preparing and travelling for
hearing events, and this is wasted if they are cancelled at the last minute. If the request is
presented at the last moment, the Board may refuse the adjournment and proceed with the
hearing. If, on the other hand, settlement discussions are reasonably nearing completion, the
Board may agree to a delay. The main consideration is whether an adjournment is necessary to
permit a fair hearing, versus the cost of any delay for all parties. Hiring a lawyer or planner
shortly before a hearing, for example, is not a reason for an adjournment.
Parties should prepare for a hearing shortly after the appeal is submitted. They should
not wait until notice of hearing is sent. Performance standards required for tribunals mean
that the Board is setting hearing dates earlier than in the past.
If a matter is adjourned, the Board will pick a new date for it to proceed unless there is a good
reason to leave it undecided (e.g. it is dependent upon a decision of a court).
61. Hearinq Dates Fixed Hearing events will take place on the date set unless the Board
agrees to an adjournment (faterdate).
62. Requests for Adiournment if All Parties Consent If all of the parties agree, they may
make a written request to postpone a hearing event. The request must include the reasons, a
suggested new date and the signed consents of all parties. However, the Board may require
that the parties attend in person to argue for an adjournment, even if all of the parties consent.
63. Requests for Adiournment Without Consent If a party consulted objects to an
adjournment request, the party requesting the adjournment must bring a rnotion under Rule 34
at least 10 days before the date set for the hearing event. If the reason for an adjournment
arises less than 10 days before (see Rule 64), the party must give notice of the request to the
Board and to the other parties, and serve their motion materials as soon as possible. If the
Board refuses to consider a request rnade late, any motion for adjournment must be made in
person at the beginning of the hearing event.
64. Emerqencies Only The Board will grant last minute adjournments only for unavoidable
emergencies, such as illnesses so close to the hearing date that another representative or
witnesses cannot be obtained. The Board must be informed of these emergencies as soon as
possible.
65. Powers of the Board upon Adiournment Request The Board may,
a) grant the request;
b) grant the request and fix a new date; or where appropriate, the Board will schedule a
pre-hearing conference about the status of the matter;

Explanatory note D~,9
The land and buildings at part lot 8, Concession 4 consist of 50 acres of land with a
dwelling unit and barns. The existing NRU uses permit agricultural uses, "custom
workshops" and "home industries". The proposed zoning by-law will permit the front
9.3 acres to be used for a pallet recycling and manufacturing use, a parking lot and open
storage of pallets. Shredding of waste wood associated with the pallet manufacturing
use is also permitted. To prevent expansion of this use into the remaining 41.7 acres,
certain uses similar to pallet manufacturing are not permitted.
The by-law contains a provision to ensure that a site plan agreement is in place before
the zoning permission is effective.

Re: Appeal under Section 34(11) refusal to adopt zoning by-law
amendment.; Pallets North Incorporated
Application P97-99, Concession 4, South Part of Lot 8 (Oro-Medonte)
Our File Y021
We are the solicitors for Pallets North Incorporated ("Pallets North") whose principal
is Eric Bowes. This is an appeal under Section 34(1 J) of the Planning Act from Oro-
Medonte's refusal to adopt a zoning by-law amendment on June 5, 2002.
The following is a history of the land use. Pallets North manufactures, refurbishes, and
recycles pallets for industrial and agricultural uses. Its premises consist of a SO acre lot
on which are located a house, t)No converted barns and a covered area for machinery.
It is zoned Agriculwral/Rural (NRU) and designated Agricultural. The zoning permits
agricultural uses, but not a pallet manufacturer. It does permit a number of uses that
are analogous, or more intensive than a pallet manufacturer, such as custom workshops,
home industries, portable asphalt plans, and wayside pits.
Pallets North commenced its operation in the fall of 1999. At inception, only Eric
Bowes, his partner Dawn Braden, and a nephew were involved. The business was a true
home occupation and thus was permitted under the Zoning By-law 97-95. The
Township of Oro-Medonte initially sought only to have it enter into a site plan
agreement. Pursuant to its intended agreement, Pallets North constructed a road to
the rear of the property, to provide a parking lot and better access to the open storage
for pallets.
However, Pallets North quickly became a successful operation. It grew, so that by the
summer of 2000, it had four employees. It was now no longer a home operation. Oro-
Medonte then requested that it apply for a zoning amendment as well. It did so on July
2000. On May 28, 2002, the Township's planner wrote a report to council
recommending that the re.zoning be denied. On June 5, 2002, Oro-Medonte Council

adopted this report and denied the application for re-zoning on the grounds that it does
not conform with the policies of the Official Plan.
Pallets North respectfully submits that the zoning application does conform with the
Official Plan,
particularly Section D2-Agricultural. This section states:
"The Township recognizes that the nature of farming is changing and that additional
activities such as home industries, can be carried out in the agricultural designation that
would not have an impact on agricultural or rural uses."
When Pallets North began, it was a home industry and it remained a small-scale
industrial enterprise. Its premises are ideally suited for its purposes and it will abide by
any restrictions the Township may place so that it will not have an impact on
agricultural or rural uses.
The Official Plan further states:
"Home industries are small scale industrial USes which are accessory to agricultural uses
and which do not alter the principal use of the property for agriculture."
About I 0-20% of the product is sold to agricultural users, such as berry and potato
farmers. Pallets North deals with self employed contractors to find discarded pallets in
farming areas, thus creating a market in used pallets. In addition, Pallets North will, in
the next few weeks, bring in a portable shredding machine to reduce the amount of
waste material currently being stored outside. This will improve the aesthetics and
create wood that can be used as mulch or animal bedding material. Both of these are of
value to the agricultural community.
The remainder of the property is leased to Hamland Farms, a large professional pork
producer, which leases about 1,000 acres altogether. Hamland uses the 40 or so acres
not required for pallet manufacture for crop rotation. This year the land is planted in
oats. last year it was beans the year before it was corn. The Pallet manufacturing
buildings and associated lands (including the residence and residential uses) total 9.3
acres.
The Official Plan goes on to say:
"Home industries should generally be in an existing out building. but a new building may
be permitted provided that it is small in scale."
All pallet manufacturing is being carried out in existing out buildings. No new buildings
have been constructed. The existing buildings are small in scale. Pallets North has
spent considerable money upgrading the barn, which can still be returned to agricultural
uses. If allowed to maintain the pallet manufacturing use, it is ready to upgrade the
second storey of the barn. It cannot make this investment until its future is more
certain. .

. Letter to Gail Taylor
. OMB August 30 2002
.
"Home Industries may include: welding. carpentry, electrical shops or agricultural
related uses that involve the processing of crops or other products."
The Pallet manufacturing business is similar to carpentry. The Township's planning
report states that the business is "clearly not a small-scale uses as defined by the
[Official Plan and zoning] policies". Typical pallet manufactures have over a hundred
employees. Pallets North is small-scale in relation to these competitors.
We enclose the following:
I. Copy of Application to Council for a zoning by-law amendment;
2. Council resolution of June 5, 2002, refusing the re-zoning;
3. Copy of proposed amending By-law, which we seek to have Council enact.
4. Explanatory note;
5. Planning Report 2002-25;
6. My affidavit that items 1-5 have been sent to the Oro-Medonte Clerk and she
has been informed of the filing of this appeal;
7. Board fee of $125.00
8. Notice of Public Meeting of June 20, 200 I;
9. The estimated length of time for the hearing will be two days, assuming some
desire to participate by neighbours.
Oro-Medonte has been extremely patient with this matter. Because the pallet
manufacturing use using outside employees is currently contrary to the zoning by-law,
we ask that this matter be scheduled as soon as possible.
Yours truly,

D14010814
Background;
An application for a Zoning By-law Amendment was submitted in July of :2000 by the
landowners 10 peT1T\it the continuation of the bU$iness on site and to ensure no future evolution
of the business occurred. The property is located on the east side of line 3 North between the
Old 6ame Road and the Bass lake Side Road. The property is a t01al of 50 acres in size of
which 9.3 acre!'. is proposed to be rezoned for the pallet business and to identify the area to be
subject to Site Plan Control. The subject property is currently the site of the dwelling in which
the applicants reside and a number of outbuildings that are being utilized for the busines$. The
outdoor storage and size of land used for this busines$ Is intended to be limited to the area
around the existing buildings. The remainder of the property continues to be used for com
production.
Adjacent land uses include: a residential dwelling to the north (50 acres), a forestry operation to
the south (100 acres), and a commercial dog kennel to the north-west (145 acres), an
agricultural operation to the north-east (150 acres), and an agricultural operation to the east
(100 aores).
The applicant's consultant has provided information regarding the nature of the busioo$s and its
activitie$ including the number of employees and the type of clients (Attachment #1). The
"Pplicant's were intending to maintain a small-$cale industrial use, to provide products to the
rural community, and to maintain the use as accessory to the single detached dwelling in which
they reside on the property. This information does indicate that a large portion of the materials
brought into the site are recycled material and that a much smaller portion of the material is from
new materials. Howev<:r it is clear both from site inspections conducted in October 1999,
August 2000, April 2001, June 2001, and April 2002 and the business statistics provided by the .

applicant's consultant that the applicants do more than what is defined as a 'recycling 9;J~ /{ vf
establishment" in the Zoning By-law 97-95.
Analysis:
The Vision in the Official Plan indicates that additional economic development will be
encouraged in the Township through the Official Plan and in fact the principles of the Official
Plan promote economic activity within the Township and strongly encourage home based
businesses. During the formulation of the new Official Plan there was clear direction that the
Township wanted to maintain its rural character and also create economic opportunities for our
residents.
The Oro-Medonte Official Plan established several principles on which the development policies
were subsequently established, In order to facilitate both of these, the Official Plan policies and
the Zoning By-law provisions were created to provide flexibility in regards to home occupations,
home industries and commercialllndustrial uses in the agricultural and rural areas. The
principles strongly encourage the development of home ba5ed businesses and industries and
the development of agriculturally related commercial uses to contribute to the economy of the
municipality.
The subject property is located within the Agricultural designation (Section D2) and would
therefore be subject to the applicable policies within that designation. The objectives of this
designation clearly indicate that the intent is to preserve and promote the agricultural character
and maintain the open countryside of the Township. The objectives also attempt to promote
agricultural industries and their associated activities and enhance their ability to contribute to the
economy of the Township.
The permitted U5es within the Agricultural designation allow for single detached dwellings. home
occupations, home industries and agriculturally related commercial uses. Within the permitted
uses it is clearly indicated that "home industries are small-scale Industrial uses which are
act;;essory to agricultural uses and which do not alter the principal use of the property for
agriculture. Home Industries should generally be in an existing ou\ building, but a new building
may be permitted providlXi it is small in scale. Home industries may include welding, carpentry,
electrical shops or agriculturally related uses that involved the processing of crops or other
prod ucts.'
It is recognized that these uses ere intended to be small-scale and therefore a site specific
zoning and site plan approval would be necessary to limit the scope of the business and
maintain the intent of the Official Plan policies.
Section 02.3.5 indicates that the development of a new home jndustry may be subject to a Site
Plan Agreement dealing with buffering, the location of any buildings used for the home industry
and the location Of any essociated open storage, io order to minimize potential impacts 00
adjacent uses. In accordance with these policies of the Official Plan, the Site Plan would be
required to be completed to the satisfaction of Council to ensure that all on-site matters are
addressed inclutling, but not limited to: buffering, storage, traffic and parking.
The applicant's have submitted four revised Site Plan drawings since October 1999 which have
continued to be revised showing changes in the business. The revisions have been based on
the needs of the applicant, the growth of the business, and the recommendations from the

Township's SUe Plan Committee. The most recent Site Plan drawing #4 is attached for UIJ
Council's review (Attachment #2).
The Zoning By-law. further to the Official Plan policies. defines a home industry as follows:
"means a small-scale industrial use, such as a carpentry shop, a metal working shop, a welding
shop or an electrical shop that provides services or wares to the rural community and which is
an accessory use to an agricultural use or a single detached dwelling. For the purpose of this
By-law, the repairing of motor vehicles, mobile homes and trailer1i is not a home industry",
The Zoning By-law defines an industrial use as follows: "means premises used for the
manufacturing, processing, finishing, treating, ornamenting, altering, fabricating, or assembly of
raw materials or recycled material or the adapting for sale of any good, substance, article or
thing". It is evident from this definition and the information provided in the business statistics
(Attachment #1) that the pallet business would be considered an industrial use as defined by the
Zoning By-law as they process and assemble recycled and new materials.
A public meeting was held on June 20, 2001 at which time the correspondence was received
from the following: Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority, Royal Pets Hotel, Hacker
Gignac Rice, Horseshoe Valley Property Owners Association, and Alvin Moore.
SUbsequent to the Public Meeting two additional letter1i were received from Hacker Gignac Rice
and Alvin Moore. All correspondence received is attached for Council's reference (Attachment
#3).
At that meeting verbal presentations were also made by: Harold Divine, Nels Hamden, Eveiyn
Hird, Frank Gracey, and Jim Gamer.
There were a number of matters raised at the public meeting including: noise, traffic and
parking, look of sight, alternate locations, scale of business, end use of agricultural lands. A
number of these issues had been discussed at the October 1999 Site Plan Committee meeting
and at the Planning Advisory Committee meetings in August 2000, February 2001 and April
2001. The neighbours to the north verbally indiC<!ted at the Public Meeling in June 2001 that a
videotape had been produced and they woUld provide It to the Township for review, however
this has never !;>eeh provided.
The issues raised at the public meeting are discussed below:
Noise
In 1997 a noise by-law was passed by the Corporation which would restrict the noise created
from radio or sound equipment and therefore this is not a matter which should be regulated
through a zoning by-law amendment. The noise from the equipment utilized in the business is
intended to be generally maintained in the existing buildings; however the noise by-law does not
restrict Mise from businesses, construction or agricultural activities on properties anywhere in
the Township.
Traffic and Parking
The matters oftraffic and parking are required to be contained within the private property in
accordance with Zoning By-Jaw 97-95, as amended. The attached site plan identifies fourteen

10\/1
on-site parking spaces and would indicate the potential for more than the 6-10 empioyees as . J
proposed by the applicant's consultant. Areas have also been identified on the site plan for
loading and unloading of pallets. The unloading or parking of vehicles on the municipal road
allowance is not permitted.
look of Sight
The nature of the pallet business requires outdoor storage of materials related to the business.
The site plan (#4) currently under has been revised and proposes berming and vegetative
buffering to reduce the view of the business both from the road and to the neighbouring
properties.
Alternate Locations
The applicant has indicated in their planning submissions (Attachment #1) that they reviewed
alternate locations within the Township to determine if a suitable alternative site was availabte.
While It is recognized that there are three industrial parks in the Township the amount of land
available in two is limited and the parcel sizes do not provide the amount of land required for
this type of business. The Winfull Industrial Park located at Line 4 South and Highway 11 does
have iands designated Industrial located on Hollick Crescent which are not currently subdivided
and were intended to be developed through the consent process for the appropriate parcel sizes
required.
Scale of Business
The intent of the zoning by-law amendment and the site plan control agreement would be to
ensure that a small-scale use is maintained as defined by the home industry provisions of the
Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The site plan drawings and numerous site visits clearly
Indicate the business is not a small-scale use as defined by the policies and is therefore 110t a
home industry.
Use of Agricultural Lands
The area of the existing business is located within the vicinity of the existing outbuildings and
the house. There is a small portion of the property to the south which was previously cropped
which wlll be utilized for the business including outdoor storage; however if the business ceased
to exist that portion of the property could easily be re-utiiized for agricultural purposes.
Summary
In summary, the application as proposed including the revised site plan (Drawing #4) submitted
does not maintain a small-scale industrial use, as defined by the home industry provisions and
required by the policies of the Official Plan. The use is also cleariy not accessory to the single
detached dwelling on the property as required by the definition of a home h.dustry in Zoning By-
law 97 -95, as amended. the proposed use does not preserve and promote the agricultural
character nor maintain the open countryside of the Township as required by the Official Plan.
Other than the home industry provisions within the Agricultural designation, no other provisions
are contained within the Agricultural designation to permit such a use. On this basis, the
. propo$ed rezoning would OQt conform to the policies of the Official Plan. It Is therefore

of 15.24 metres (50 feet) instead of the required 30 metres (98.7 feet), and the severed lot would
have a IDt area Df O. I 3 hectares instead of the required 0.2 hectares. The application appears not
to be in compliance with the Zoning By-law, as the lot area requirement would not meet the
minimum within the ShDreline Residential zoning and would be inconsistent with existing lots in
the area which are larger. The creation of this undersized lot would establish a precedent for
future similar smaJl lots being created. The creation of a IDt with a reduced frontage and area
may lead tD future variance requests for setbacks when a new dweJJing is being constructed.
I RECOMMENDA nON ,
It is recommended that Consent Application B-33/02 be DENIED as the lot area is not in
compliance with the Shoreline Residential zoning, and the lot area requested is not in conformity
with the other shoreline lots in the area.

REPORT NO.: COF A2002.A30
PREPARED BY: Todd Weatherell
DATE: November 6, 2002,
APPLICANT: Ruth and Allan Juriansz
APPLICATION NO.: A-30/02
ROLL NUMBER: 4346 010 007 14400
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Plan 742, Lot 1 (Oro)
'PROPOSAL I
The applicant is requesting relieffrom the minimum required lotfrontagefrom 30 metres (98.7
feet) to 15.24 metres (50feet). The applicant is also requesting relieffrom the required lot area
from 0.2 hectares (0.49 acres) to 0.12 hectares (0.3 acres).
I AGENCY COMMENTS ~
Building Department: If severance granted existing 50 foot parcel would require 1. Dug well
capped-filled in. 2. New sewage system on lakeside. And 3. New drilled well at required set back
near residence.
Roads Department: No concerns
DOES THE VARIANCE CONFORM WITH THE GENERAL INTENT OF THE
OFFICIAL PLAN?
The subject property is designated Rural Settlement Area in the Township's Official Plan.
The intent of the Rural Settlement Area Designation is to maintain and create attractive
communities with suitable amenities and to ensure that settlement areas are developed in
a logical and cost-effective manner. The proposal would permit a new lot that does not maintain
the existing community character and therefore does not conform with the Official Plan.
DOES THE VARIANCE CONFORM WITH THE GENERAL INTENT OF THE
ZONING BY.LA W PROVISIONS?
The subject property is zoned ShoreJine Residential (SR) in Zoning By-law 97-95 as amended.
The proposed variance would permit one lot to have a minimum Jot frontage of 15.24 metres (50
feet) instead of the required 30 metres (98.7 feet). The proposed variance would not meet the
required lot area for the Shoreline Residential Zone, which is 0.2 hectares, and the minor
variance is requesting 0.13 hectares. The proposed variance does not appear to conform with the
general intent of the Zoning By-law as the lot area and lot frontage proposed is too small given
the existing residential community.
.
. .
IS THE VARIANCE DESIRABLE FOR THE APPROPRIA TE DEVELOPMENT OR USE
OF THE LAND?
The subject property is weB buffered from the neighbouring properties by the significant wooded
area on the property. The lot itself would not be in compliance with the existing residential
properties; therefore the variance would not be desirable for the development or use of the land.
I IS THE VARIANCE MINOR IN NATURE? ,
The variance proposed does not affect any surrounding neighbours, and it wi11 clean up
properties that have two dweBings on one property, but the lot frontage and lot area would not
appear to be minor within that residential area.
I RECOMMENDA TION ~
It is recommended that Minor Variance Application A-30102 be DENIED as the lot area and lot
frontage would not be in compliance with neighbouring lots and would not conform with the
Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

PREPARED BY: Todd Weatherell
DATE: November 6, 2002
APPLICANT: Michael and Traey Creasor
APPLICATION NO.: A-33/97 revised
ROLL NUMBER: 4346010009275
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Cone. 7, Plan M-l1S, Lot 69(Oro)
I PROPOSAL ,
The applicant is requesting relieffrom the minimum requirement rear yard setback from 8 metres
(26.2feet) to 3.76 metres (12.34 feet) to recognize an existing deck, and from 8 metres (26.2feet) to
2.3/ metres (7.6feet) to recognize an existing pool. The applicant was granted relief in 1997 to 3.9
metres (J2.8feet)for the deck and to 2.6 metres (8.5 feet)for the pool.
I AGENCY COMMENTS I
Building Department: No Concerns
Roads Department: r/o (".NC~S
DOES THE VARIANCE CONFORM WITH THE GENERAL INTENT OF THE
OFFICIAL PLAN?
The subject property is designated Shoreline in the Official Plan. The intent of the
Shoreline designation is to maintain the existing character of this residential area and to
protect the natural features of the shoreline area. The proposed variance does not occur on the
lakeside therefore creating no detrimental effects on the shoreline. On this basis, the application
would appear to conform with the general intent of the policies of the Official Plan.
DOES THE VARIANCE CONFORM WITH THE GENERAL INTENT OF THE
ZONING BY -LAW PROVISIONS?
The subject property is zoned Residential One (RI) in Zoning By-law 97.95 as amended. The
proposed variance would recognize an existing deck to be 3.76 metres away from the rear yard
setback instead of the required 8 metres, and 2.3 I metres for the pool. The proposed variance
appears to conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law, as a minor variance was
granted in 1997, which the applicant was granted relief to 3.9 metres for an existing deck and 2.6
. metres for the pool.
,
.
IS THE VARIANCE DESIRABLE FOR THE APPROPRIA TE DEVELOPMENT OR USE
OF THE LAND?
Upon site inspection it is evident that the addition would not appear to affect any of the
surrounding neighbours as a tree Jine and a fence buffers the neighbours on the east, and the pool
and deck have been there since] 997, therefore the variance would be desirable on the lot.
I IS THE VARIANCE MINOR IN NATURE? ,
The proposed variance is considered minor in nature on the basis that the variance would not
appear to affect any surrounding neighbours, and maintains the character of this residential
community.
I RECOMMENDA TION ,
It is recommended that Minor Variance Application A-33/97 be granted subject to the foUowing
Jist of conditions;
J. That the setbacks be in confomllty with the dimensions as set out in the application, as
submitted;
2. That aU municipal taxes be paid to the Township of Oro-Medonte.

APPLICATION NO.: A-37/02
ROLL NUMBER: 4346 030 012 471
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Plan 920, East Part Lot 36 & 37 (Orillia)
I PROPOSAL ,
The applicant is requesting relief from the minimum required setback from Lake Simcoe from 20
metres (65. 62 feet) to ]6.46 metres (54 feet) to allow for construction of a two-storey dwelling. The
applical1l is also requesting relief from the front yard setback for a detached garage from 7.5
metres (24.6 feet) to 6.37 metres (20.9 feet).
I AGENCY COMMENTS I
Building Department: No concerns
Roads Department: ,.Ii> (loofcC42d5
DOES THE VARIANCE CONFORM WITH THE GENERAL INTENT OF THE
OFFICIAL PLAN?
The subject property is designated Shoreline (Section DIO) in the Township's Official Plan. The
intent of the Official Plan policies is to protect the natural features of the shoreline area and to
maintain the existing character of the residential area. It appears the new dwe]]jng will not have an
impact on the shoreline; therefore the application appears to conform with the policies of the
Official Plan.
DOES THE VARIANCE CONFORM WITH THE GENERAL INTENT OF THE
ZONING BY.LA W PROVISIONS?
The subject property is zoned ShoreJine Residential Exception Two (SR*2) in the
Township's Zoning By-law 97-95, as amended. The intent of the By-law is to establish
setback requirements, which assist in preserving the natura] shoreline and maintaining the
residential character. The proposed replacement of the dweJJing and addition of the
. garage would create an aestheticaJJy pleasing lot within the shoreline residential area.
. The proposed variance would appear to maintain the intent of the Zoning By-law
provisions.
.
~
~
IS THE VARIANCE DESIRABLE FOR THE APPROPRIA TE DEVELOPMENT OR USE
OF THE LAND?
Upon site inspection it is evident that the addition does not appear to affect any of the
surrounding neighbours as the dwelling is set back from the neighbour on the west and is
buffered by trees from the neighbour on the east. The garage is desirable as only the corner of the
building that encroaches into the required setback is buffered on the side by vegetation.
I IS THE VARIANCE MINOR IN NA TURE? ~
The proposed variance is considered minor in nature on the basis that the variance wouJd not
appear to affect any surrounding neighbours.
I RECOMMENDA nON ,
It is recommended that Minor Variance AppJication A-37/2 be granted subject to the following
Jist of conditions;
1. That an Ontario Land Surveyor provide verification to the Township of compliance with the
Committee's decision by ]) pinning the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to pouring
of the foundation by way of survey/rea] property report.
2. That the setbacks be in confonnity with the dimensions as set out in the appJication, as

APPLICATION NO.: A-40/02
ROLL NUMBER: 434601000809407

I PROPOSAL ~
The applicant is requesting relief from the minimum interior side yard setback from 8 metres (26.2
feet) to 4.57 metres (15 feet) to permit an attached garage addition.
I AGENCY COMMENTS I
Building Department: Garage must be a minimum 16 feet from septic bed and 5 feet from septic

DOES THE VARIANCE CONFORM WITH THE GENERAL INTENT OF THE
OFFICIAL PLAN?
The subject property is designated Shoreline in the Official Plan. The intent of the Shoreline
designation is to maintain the existing character of this residential area and to protect the natura]
features of the shoreline area. The proposed variance would appear to create no detrimental
effects on the shoreline. On this basis, the application would appear to conform with the general
intent of the policies of the Official Plan.
DOES THE VARIANCE CONFORM WITH THE GENERAL INTENT OF THE
ZONING BY-LAW PROVISIONS?
The subject property is zoned Rural Residential One Exception 84 (RURI *84) in the Township's
Zoning By-law 97-95, as amended. The variance requested would encroach into the required
interior side yard setback mainly because the Jot is irregular; therefore the variance would
conform to the genera] intent of the Zoning By-law.

IS THE VARIANCE DESIRABLE FOR THE APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT OR USE
OF THE LAND?
Upon site inspection it is evident that the addition would be desirable on the lot, as it would not
affect any of the surrounding neighbours.
I]S THE VARIANCE MINOR IN NATURE? I
The proposed variance is considered minor in nature on the basis that the variance would not
affect the neighbours or the shoreline and the variance is requested due to the irregular lot.

list of conditions;
1. That an Ontario Land Surveyor provide verification to the Township of compliance with the
Committee's decision by I) pinning the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to pouring
of the foundation by way of survey/real property report.
2. That the setbacks be in confonnity with the dimensions as set out in the application, as
submitted;
