PLANNING AND THE ENVIRONMENT A Deputation to Oro - Medonte Council 20 April 2005 by Jim Woodford "We go through a public planning process." Mayor Craig told Orillia Today. That changed on Nov. 24, 2004 when Council went into a secret in- camera session to make important changes to the Official Plan. The motion to authorize the in- camera session does not include the reason the in- camera session was being held Council in- camera sessions are held according to Section 239 of the Municipal Act. Changing the Official Plan is not listed as a reason for an in- camera session in Sec. 239. However there are "loopholes" in the Township's Official Plan. I have asked the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to investigate this matter. What Council did was revise the Shoreline Policies. Deputy Mayor Hughes and Councillor Hough voted against the changes. It appears that these changes were made in the private rather than the public interest. There were neither deputations nor editorials demanding that these changes be made. In fact, the public was demanding that the lakeshore be preserved. However an application to build houses on the Lake Simcoe shoreline was rejected by Council and the developer had made an appeal to the OMB. Shortly after the new Shoreline Policies were formally approved the developer withdrew the OMB appeal and submitted a revised plan. And 12 days later the former Director of Planning had a full report (Report PD2005 -004) to Council recommending Council start the process to consider the revised plan. The reason for changes to the Shoreline Policies was revealed " The effect of the revisions to the shoreline policies is that it provides the basis for consideration of a revised (Jennifer won't allow me to say x # % & @$^*)) application." wrote the former Director of Planning. This may turn out to be "technically legal" but it is immoral, lacks a sense of responsibility to the residents of Oro- Medome and a complete lack of commitment to protect the environment. 0,� (� The residents deserve a full explanation and apology from the Mayor and the four Councillors who voted for the changes. The Mayor also mentioned "leadership and fortitude" in protecting the Oro Moraine in the Orillia Today interview. Here's an example of his leadership. His farm is on the Oro Moraine. On January 22, 2003 he obtained two severances on his farm. This was just before OPA # 16 came into effect and two severances were disallowed. Were other Oro Moraine property owners offered the same opportunity? Mayor Craig, you were quoted in Orillia Today as follows: "We are the only municipality I know of that has done a natural heritage study on a feature like the Oro Moraine." This is not true. The natural heritage study was never completed. Here are a few other things about the study you probably were not aware of. The "research" for the study was done on the Internet in the comfort of the consultant's Barrie office — not in the wilds of the Oro Moraine. The version that I downloaded from the Township website is dated Sep, 2003. It contains a number of serious scientific errors and omissions. For example — • It lists the Tufted Titmouse as an Endangered Species — it has never been seen on the Moraine. • There are incorrect scientific names. The botanical taxonomy is 40 years out of date. But the worst is they did not find any living creature on the Moraine that has more than 4 legs — no butterflies, no bees or other bugs. They overlooked surveying 70% of the wildlife — the Invertebrates. Margo Holt, the best naturalist in Simcoe County, Pat and I went to the Azimuth offices to offer our help to correct the errors. Martha Scott Azimuth's "ecologist" refused our help — saying the study was just fine. Mayor Craig you should be ashamed of this mess rather that applauding it. I have been making Deputations to Council since 2001 and the Mayor and most Councillors have "turned a deaf ear" to everything I've suggested. C If only they had listened to my suggestion that they appoint an Ecological Advisory Committee the Oro Moraine would be protected and Council would receive expert ecological advice on proposed new developments. The Committee could have saved the taxpayers tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some of the best naturalists in Ontario live in Oro - Medonte — David and Julianne Hawke, Margo Holt, Greg Sadowski, Ed Glanert, Ron and Sharon Hancock, Pat Woodford - to name a few. Council, with notable exceptions, approved the UCCl/Baywinds development, with advice from strategic advisor Nick MacDonald that "The development will not have a negative impact on the environment' (no ecological field work was done to substantiate this). The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing disallowed the approval because of serious concerns about environmental damage. This clearly illustrates that Oro - Medonte does not have staff or consultants that can provide expert ecological /environmental advice to Council. Council and the Mayor can start to restore the confidence of residents by publicly revising OPA # 16 to include strict mandatory requirements for Environmental Impact Statements, by hiring new consultants, appointing an Ecological Advisory Committee and acquiring an ecologically significant area on the Oro Moraine and naming it the Ian Beard Memorial Nature Reserve.

Purpose of Staff Report: The purpose of this Staff Report is to provide the Authority's Board of Directors with information pertaining to Green Roof Technology, and, obtain direction forthe development of an Authority position regarding the application of Green Roof Technology within the watershed. 134 Staff Report No. 15- 05 -BOD Page No. 2 of 4 File No. Agenda Item No. 20 BOD -03 -05 Background: nG _ 3 Green Roof Technology refers to a complex layered system of root - resistant waterproof membranes, lightweight growing media, geo- textile drainage layers and plantings, which are placed directly on the rooftops (See Figure 1.0). Green roofs provide three major benefits; 1) They help manage urban storm water runoff by soaking up rain that would otherwise go into the storm sewer system, 2) They absorb carbon from the air and contribute oxygen improving air quality, and 3) They reduce the urban heat island effect especially in major metropolitan cities. Other perceived benefits include savings on energy for heating and cooling, decreased roof maintenance sound insulation and aesthetic appeal. These benefits are greatest in the Source: Great Lakes Water Institute ( I 135 Staff Report No. 15- 05 -BOD Page No. 3 of 4 File No. Agenda Item No. 20 BOD -03 -05 Although considered anew technology in Canada, green roofs have been used extensively in many European Countries for more than _a decade. In fact, many European countries have created regulations and \or incentives to promote the initiation of green roofs. For example, more than 10 percent of flat roofs in Germany contain Green Roof infrastructure. Despite the benefits of Green Roof Technology very few of these systems have been constructed within Ontario. This can probably best be explained by the high cost to install and maintain these systems, a deficiency of detailed information regarding the subsequent cost savings associated with the technology, and lack of any funding incentive program. It is anticipated that this trend might change as a result of the new federal budget and response to the Koyoto Accord and as more of the green roofs are installed and research completed to clearly document the actual benefits and cost savings. For more information on Green Roof Technology see the attached case study and information. Issues: There are no issues associated with this report. It is staff opinion that the Authority fully support and promote the use of Green Roof Technology within the watershed as both a water quantity \quality and air quality best management practice. In fact, a Green Roof is proposed for a small portion of the new Authority office building (approximately 36 mZ at a cost of $3,000) atop the roofed entrance to the office. By installing a Green Roof stormwater storage requirements are reduced and some water quality treatment is achieved. The vegetation established on the roof tops within the urban areas greatly assists in sequestering carbon dioxide and improving air quality. Green roofs will also moderate temperatures especially in the summer months within dense urban areas. Traditionally, the Authority has not played and active role in controlling air quality with the exception of the Forestry Planting Program. The promotion of this technology would assist our government partners in their attempts to improve air quality. Impact on Authority Policy: There is no impact on existing Authority policy associated with this report. The only Authority requirement of any proponent proposing to apply this technology would be that they use only native plant species. Impact on Authority Finances: There is no impact on Authority Finances associated with this report. This technology is being considered for addition to the list of eligible items under the Lake Simcoe Water Quality Improvement Program (LSWQIP) Urban Stormwater Retrofit category. 136 Staff Report No. 15- 05 -BOD Page No. 4 of 4 File No. Agenda Item No. 20 BOD -03 -05 Summary & Recommendations: 16G 5 Green Roof Technology while initially costly provides a long list of benefits both environmental as well as potentially financial. It is recommended that the Authority support and promote the use of Green Roof Technology throughout the watershed as both a water quantity \quality and air quality best management practice. To this end it is recommended that this Staff Report be provided to our member municipalities and future information regarding the application of the Green Roof Technology on our own building be providde when it becomes available. Furthermore, it is recommended that staff complete an analysis to determine whether the Green Roof Technology would be suitable for inclusion into the LSWQIP as an Urban Stormwater Retrofit best management practice.

Gayle Wood, cmm ni _ Chief Administrative Officer/ Secretary- Treasurer 137 1ba -b Waterfall Building Green Roof Case Study Vancouver, British Columbia Background The Waterfall Building is part of a new mixed -use project located in Vancouver, British Columbia developed by Hillside Development Ltd. in 2000 -2001. The ground floor is reserved for general office, retail or service use, while the remainder of the project is a mixture of commercial and "live /work" space. The green roof system was intended to meet the goals of creating an aesthetically pleasing community recreational space —which met both the social development goals of Hillside and the community revitalization goals of the city. As Hillside Development was also requesting a relaxation of the City of Vancouver's building height limitations, the development proposal had to incorporate features that would benefit the community. The green roof, visible to the public, was seen as a beautification of the area and supported the development application. In addition, the open, street -level courtyard is a public space that greatly enhanced the community. A covenant was signed between the developing company and the City of Vancouver, ensuring that this space would remain open to the public— a condition of the development approval. The Citv of Vancouver sees the Waterfall project as contributing to the revitalization of the area with its quality design and construction, attention to detail and the developer's commitment to the community. Despite this, Hillside Development cited the city as being one of the major challenges in the development of the project due to problems surrounding obtaining permits. Insurance providers who refused to insure the building after viewing the green roof as a potential leaking hazard posed additional challenges. Highlights Building Type: Mixed -use commercial and live -work facility Number of Units: 49 Units (38 live /work units; I I commercial units) Location: 1540 West Second Avenue Vancouver, British Columbia Status: Completed in Fall 2001 Cost of green roof: $538,500 Area of green roof: 3,590 square feet Green roof type: Intensive & Extensive Saturated weight: 70 lbs /sq foot Budget The total budget for the green roof was $538,500— approximately $150.00 per square foot. Of the total, $114,000 was budgeted for landscape design and irrigation. 138 10G --) Structural Considerations The greatest concern the architects had when designing for the green roof was the extra weight. However, the structure of the building was reinforced cast -in -place concrete and an extra 10 per cent steel reinforcing was placed inside the concrete slabs that would be supporting the roof. In the end the roof had a load capacity of 125 lbs per square foot while the green roof had a saturated weight of 70 lbs per square foot. Installation and Technical Issues The construction of the roof took approximately two weeks including formwork and the placing of reinforcing steel and concrete. During installation the major challenge was the change in allowable soil depth due to a 1 -inch change in the height of the ceilings. Originally, the soil depth was to be 12 -16 inches but final plans called for a maximum depth of 10 inches.This challenge was overcome by selecting plants able to grow in shallower growing mediums. Green Roof Characteristics Type and Warranty The Waterfall Building green roof is both extensive and intensive. Extensive green roofs are characterized by their low weight, low capital cost and minimal maintenance requirements. The extensive plots on Waterfall building is comprised o£poa alpina, blue grass. In contrast, intensive green roofs are characterized by greater weight, higher capital costs, more diverse plantings and higher maintenance requirements than extensive systems.The plant selected for the Waterfall building intensive plots was rosa meidiland white. Most of the system was comprised of Soprema's Sopranature green roof system with the following exceptions: The waterproof membrane was urelastic -103 manufactured by Universal Polymers The protection board in the planters was `Hydroflex 20' manufactured by Hydrotech The filter drain mat was NilexWD15 designed by Cornelia Oberlander The decision to use Soprema's system was based on excellent results that the architectural firm has had with previous projects. There is a 5 -10 year warranty on the system on the green roof components and a one -year warranty on plants. Hillside Development Ltd. found one of the biggest challenges to implementing a green roof in Vancouver to be obtaining insurance for warranties. Warranties are required by the City of Vancouver due to the "leaky condo crisis "; many insurers view green roofs as potential leaking hazards and refuse to insure them. Growing Medium The growing medium used was by Answer Garden Products. The product was laid at thickness ranging from two to six inches at a weight of 70 lbs /cubic foot. It is comprised of humus builder, washed sand, and pumice. 139 10q, Plant Selection Rosa meidiland white, a flowering rose shrub and poa alpina, an alpine blue grass were selected The plants were selected for their appearance and ability to perform well in full exposure to sun and wind. Irrigation & Drainage The special drainage requirements of green robf systems is the need for a filter cloth over a geotextile drainage layer. The irrigation system is a computerized, low- impact system with small heads.The decision not to use a drip irrigation system was due to sand in the growing medium which can plug drip systems. Due to the humus builder the growing medium has the capability of retaining a great deal of water, thus taking pressure off both the irrigation and the drainage system on the green roof. Monitoring & Maintenance There has been no monitoring of the technical performance of the data and to date, no repairs have been made to the roof. The green roof will require weeding and cutting about two times per year. Benefits The green roof provides numerous benefits for the Waterfall Building. For the developer, the additional useable space the residents are offered has increased its sale - ability and assisted in getting approval for development from the Vancouver City Planning Department. The City cites the green roof as a factor in granting permission to Hillside to relax the height limitations.

Introduction Green roofs are a potential component of any strategy to address many of the environmental challenges facing our cities over the course of the next century. They could reduce the urban heat island effect through evapotranspiration of plants as well as the amount of heat radiated from roofing membranes. Less energy would be required for cooling buildings. Heat stress and the severity of smog episodes could also be reduced. Replacing impermeable surfaces with vegetation also limits storm water runoff, while the plants and the soil act as filters, thus improving the quality of the runoff. In providing space for vegetation in urban areas, green roofs can increase wildlife habitat and play a role in preserving biodiversity. To encourage a market for green roofs, the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), in partnership with Environment Canada, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and Green Roofs for Healthy Cities, organized a Green Roof Infrastructure Workshop held in Ottawa in 2001.The workshop provided technical information on the implementation and benefits of green roofs, and it offered an opportunity to discuss green roof research and develop potential research collaborations.The workshop was held just prior to an international conference, which enabled international participants to exchange information with Canadian colleagues on this technology. The workshop included presentations, a tour of NRC's new green roof research facility and three breakout sessions, one on aggregate research (urban heat island, stormwater modeling and air quality), a second on facility research and the third on policy instruments that encourage green roofs, how they work and what else needs to be done. Objectives The sponsors established five objectives for the workshop: 1. Introduce architects, developers, government officials and other interested parties to the design, implementation, marketing and benefits of green roofs. 2. Profile NRC's Rooftop Garden Field Research Facility in Ottawa and North American and European research on green roofs. 3. Provide an opportunity to continue to develop and refine research protocols established at a 2000 workshop and explore the potential for new research areas. 4. Test "how to" basics in designing and marketing green roofs for the architectural profession and expand knowledge of design features and related benefits. 5. Establish an international network of interested parties on green roof design, implementation and research. 141 \Oc, -10 GREEN ROOF TECHNOLOGY Presentations: Boyne River Outdoor Education Centre: In his presentation, "Green Roofs I Didn't Know I Knew ", CMHC researcher Doug Pollard spoke about examples of planted roofs, where plant life is supported by a planting medium on an impenetrable structural layer without damage to the supporting stricture. "Every parking garage of every high -rise that extends beyond the edge of the building has one. It just happens to be at grade," said Mr. Pollard. He then described a green roof project at Boyne River, the Toronto Board of Education's Outdoor Education Centre near Shelburne, Ontario.The system has an elastomeric membrane sandwiched between two layers of rigid insulation, which keeps the membrane protected while allowing drainage through open joints in the upper layer.This protection had the benefit of extending the life of the membrane because it was isolated from both extreme thermal variation and UV degradation.The next layer has 15.24 cm (6 in) each of mixed soil and granular, for a total depth of 0.3 in (1 ft). Although the building was on a stable slope, there were some legal concerns about soil sliding off, and a retention blanket was applied, such as those used for highway embankments. While an effort was made to locate a blanket made entirely from natural materials, a sudden rain shower resulted in vegetation sprouting on the roof, eliminating the need for any further seeding. Everything growing on the roof was either already in the soil or deposited by wind, bird or insect.The growth on the roof has been noticeably superior to wildflower blankets growing in swales at the back of the building, because of better solar exposure. A curb was installed around the edge, again to allay unfounded concerns about soil slippage. Many grass roofs exist without a curb, including ones built with the soil coming to a knife -edge point. Green roofs work by creating a thermal lag effect. The soil warms before the roof does, and evaporating moisture from the soil draws heat from the building shell, thus cooling it.The lag is such that the roof membrane only begins to warm at the end of the day and very little heat gets into the building itself. As nighttime temperatures fall, the soil loses its gained heat, and by morning, the cycle begins again. "When we make a scar on the earth's surface with a building, we simply put back on top of it what we removed so that the balance of the ecosystem is maintained and so we can continue to benefit from that balance ... For free." The green roof requires no operating budget, and after eight years, flowers continue to grow, some as high as 1.8 in (6 ft).The building continues to heat and cool itself, and the roof provides an aesthetically pleasing breathing surface that is habitat to a number of small birds and insects. Designing Green Roofs: Presenter Monica Kuhn discussed the layers, types, history, design considerations and benefits of green roofs, as well as some possible incentives.A green roof involves adding layers on top of a 142 tcA -_ l traditional roofing system. From the bottom up, these layers include the roof structure, a membrane, with insulation either above or below, a drainage layer, filter /landscaping cloth, a growing medium and plants. Green roofs can be intensive, extensive or a combination of both. Extensive green roofs have less weight than intensive ones and involve less capital cost and maintenance. Intensive green roofs weigh more due to greater soil depths, and they have more plantings and higher maintenance requirements. Other differences between the two, and the general benefits of this technology, are outlined in another CMHC research highlight, Greenbacks from Green Roofs: Forging a New Industry in Canada. Use, location (height, orientation, overlook, shadow, building type), access and regulatory approvals are just a few of the design considerations. Roofing, new types of membranes, leak detection, maintenance and insurance are some of the other factors to be taken into account.The type of plants selected depends on soil depth and the amount of maintenance and irrigation required. Among the proposed incentives that could be used to encourage green roofs are tax credits, utility or infrastructure credits, density bonuses, development approvals and one -time design and installation grants. Green Roof Selection and Maintenance: Kaaren Pearce, a specialist in green roof technology, discussed development of green roof systems and their maintenance.The criteria for developing these systems can be guided by the following questions: 1. What is the space to be used for: views, aesthetics, education, as an amenity space for people, stormwater retention, heating and cooling effects, habitat, agriculture, etc? 2. What is the load bearing of the roof? This influences design, as weight increases with soil depth, and depth increases the variability of species that can be used. Loads generally vary from 18 to 72.8 kg per m2 (40 to 160 lbs per ft2). 3. What are the plant considerations? Plants naturally found in alpine, prairie or scree conditions are better suited to green roofs. 4. What plant materials are available and where? 5. What are the pros and cons of the specialized green roof systems currently available? 6. What are the pros and cons of specialized soil mixes used in these systems? Creating and maintaining green roofs require extensive experience. Practitioners should have formal training in horticulture, a minimum of 15 years of practical experience, a solid understanding of ecosystems and microclimates, and extensive practical experience with perennial plants and specialty turf.They need good taxonomy skills, with the ability to identify undesired species.They also need to understand various manufacturers' systems and the basic components of an irrigation system. 143 \bG_k�, The amount of time needed for maintenance depends on whether the roof system is new or an existing one. Establishing a green roof involves care and maintenance over the entire growing season in the first year, about a 21 -week period from late May to mid - October. Weekly inspections are required for the first eight weeks to ensure healthy root development, followed by biweekly inspections for the next eight weeks, and then weekly inspections again for the final five weeks of the season.An established extensive system requires, as a minimum, maintenance four times a year —in early spring, early summer, early fall and late fall. Pest control is not likely to be an issue, although common weeds can be a nuisance.They can be stopped if early spring and summer maintenance periods are followed.Tree seedlings are likely to be the most problematic "weed." While irrigation on extensive systems is not likely to be required, it can be helpful during periods of low rainfall.An installer's warranty, maintenance manual and schedule, and monthly reports complete the maintenance requirements. Any roof repairs under planted areas should be done with an aim to minimize root damage. For example, the lifted area might be slid onto a plywood sheet with folding legs and set aside.A soaked burlap bag under the lifted area will help retain moisture. If possible, the section should be lifted and returned during the cooler parts of the day. Workshops The workshop on aggregate research needs noted a couple of key barriers to overcome in encouraging more widespread use of green roofs. First, there is a significant lack of data on the benefits of green roofs in North America.While green roofs are common in Europe, considerably more research needs to be done to prove their validity in North American cities and their cost benefit. Developers and property owners need to be shown that they can justify the cost of installing a green roof. Second, tax incentives could be used to encourage property owners to use this technology. Another workshop on facility research looked at a research plan for two potential field monitoring projects in Toronto, one at Toronto City Hall and the other at a community centre.The parameters to be measured included temperature profile, heat flow, soil moisture content, solar reflectance, relative humidity and stormwater retention. Other potential research projects include: • monitoring green roofs in different cities across Canada; • studying the effects of different components (soil depth and types, plant types, configuration of garden components) in order to maximize such benefits as energy efficiency, stormwater retention and runoff quality; and • studying the benefits of green roofs on sloped residential roofs, and developing a lightweight growing medium, a special anchoring system and low -cost, easy -to- install components for residential housing applications. The policy workshop noted the importance of linking with partners to undertake projects and with cities that are likely to be willing to commit to green roofs. Participants suggested an inventory of existing green roofs be created and other buildings identified that would be good candidates.The supply side should be assisted in promoting green roofs, and public accessibility is important. 144 Ibc'� - �3 Conclusion The infrastructure workshop successfully demonstrated that green roofs work and that they are not so foreign as we may have thought. Green roofs reduce stormwater runoff, lower heating and cooling costs; prolong roof membrane life; improve air quality; and when used extensively in an urban area, they can help to reduce urban heat island effects.

So several of us (Heather Shortreed, Fred Beck, Peggy Sarjeant, Ted Bigelow and I) have got together on behalf of our entire former Board, to prepare an informal update for all of you. First, it's wonderful to report how closely O'Brien House, as owned and managed by Simcoe Community Services (formerly Barrie and District Association for People with Special Needs), fulfills its original mandate of serving seniors in a supportive setting in the community. The agency already had many older clients living in group homes with others of various ages. The purchase of O'Brien House provided an opportunity to expand their spectrum of services to include a retirement home - in a beautiful building designed specifically for that purpose. Tours of O'Brien House were offered to all the older clients, and the ten people now living there all made the choice themselves. Secondly, it's heartening to see connections developing and strengthening between O'Brien House residents and the community. One evening each month, for instance, a number of the local Lionesses organize a birthday party at the house to celebrate any birthdays that month among residents or staff. "We don't know who's having more fun, the residents or us," said Pat McCracken. Former board member (and present member of the Fig Leaf Jazz Band) Geoff Mulholland plays quiet music during lunch once a month. The Ukuleles and Friends have entertained several times, to marvellously enthusiastic response. Members of the Shanty Bay Ride & Drive Co -op drive residents to Barrie fairly frequently. Fred Beck, who as an original board member was so instrumental in the design and construction of O'Brien House, now sits on the boards of both Simcoe Community Services and its Foundation. At Christmas it was wonderful to drive by and see the lights up, cars in the parking lot, lots going on. I had driven some residents in to a program in town one December evening, and when I phoned the next day to speak to a staff member I mentioned how lovely the living room had looked, with the Christmas tree up and the fire going. "Yes," she said. "We found the tree in the storage room, and lots of decorations, and we each brought one of our own from home, and it does look lovely. But then," she added - completely unaware that 1 had had any previous connection to the place, "the house is so beautiful anyway." Your donations have kept on giving, enriching the lives of both residents and community. y Sincerely, DECEIVED APR 0 1 2005 ORO- MEDONTE k�)c_ - \ Marilyn Pennycook From: janetclair bumstead Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 5:58 PM 7o: Keith Mathieson; Jerry Ball; Andria Leigh; Marilyn Pennycook Cc: Neil Craig; John Crawford; dan.bultineau @oro- medonte.ca; Ruth Fountain; Ralph Hough; Harry Hughes; Paul Marshall Subject: Proposed rezoning, redesignation and subdivision of Conc. 3 Lots 15 and 16 Reasons for opposing. I'm writing concerned about a proposed change in zoning and designations to permit a shoreline subdivision at Four Mile Point, by Moon Point Corp. NONE of it should happen. It is a very wet property providing a natural filter system for Lake Simcoe. The ponds which form behind the natural berm slow down runoff, provide areas for water to settle and give plants a chance to filter out pollutants before the water reaches the lake. They also provide breeding habitat for frogs and salamanders. Blue spotted salamanders have been sighted there. (If they are the the provincially threatened Jeffersonianum salamander, they must be protected.) The shoreline of the proposed lots has a natural breakwater along many proposed lots. The runoff ponds behind the berm are up to 3 feet deep in April and gradually release water over the summer. They want permission to modify this berm and remove trees. The overhanging trees are important for fish habitat and as erosion protection. How does one reverse such destruction? If a subdivision were allowed, the stormwater management would become a major concern. Erosion and sediment must be controlled. The required ditches, swales, rock check dams, silt fences and filters would have to be maintained, monitored and inspected. What happens when something goes wrong? They are asking that up to 39 feet of the shoreline protection zone on each proposed lot could be cleared.. That would be a total of almost 546feet of shoreline trees cleared. They are also asking for permission for fill to encroach on the floodplain for 6 of the 14 lots for septic systems. What will this do to the quality of our water? I also have concerns about disturbing the staging area for bird, nesting of birds and the habitat of many animals and fish. This shoreline is very important to the health of Lake Simcoe. We must not disturb its natural process. Roads are also a concern. Where Moon Point Drive turns to run along the lake, the corner is fine for limited use, since the cattails (which we all love and which help purify and control the flow of water) force drivers to slow down and creep around the curve. This could become an issue with more traffic - - -- and a cul -de -sac almost at the same corner!!!! The approach road has its charm too with 2 one way bridges and a rather blind hill area at the turn to Moon Point Drive. Again with a few locals, this is acceptable. The bridges should remain as is because they cross a Class One Wetland. These roads are fine for rural only. The designations are in place for valid reasons. Please DO NOT change them and move one step closer to killing Lake Simcoe .

A Deputation to Oro - Medonte Council 30 Mar 2005 by Jim Woodford Mayor Craig you have been saying Oro - Medonte has an "Environment First" policy Now is the time to put that policy to the test. The Moon Point Corporation has had the Moon Point Development Environmental Impact Statement prepared by Watershed Management Ecology. This Environmental Impact Statement must be assessed and approved by the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority as part of the approval process. I have carefully examined the Moon Point EIS (MPEIS) to determine its compliance with the LSRCA EIS Assessment conditions The LSRCA Existing Conditions Assessment under Sec. 2.1.1 c) Appendix C is "identify existing conditions through field work characterizing vegetation 9i.e. using Ecological Land Classification (ELC) to vegetation type, three season inventory, plant lists, soils, etc) wildlife (i.e. breeding bird and amphibian surveys, other wildlife, lists of species, etc.) and fisheries based on an assessment undertaken through the use of electro fishing or netting at the appropriate time of year (i.e. spring, summer and fall)" After examining the following data deficiencies I request that the LSRCA not sign off on the Moon Point EIS until a full- three - season inventory is completed and the following data deficiencies are addressed. At the earliest that would be November, 2005. Plant Lists — only vascular plants have been inventoried. Mosses, mushrooms and other non - vascular plants were not surveyed. Breeding Bird Survey — there is no evidence that a scientific breeding bird survey was conducted. This study found about one -third of the bird species reported by local birders. A properly conducted survey would entail weekly visits from April until June. Evidence of nesting might include carrying nesting material, actual nests and feeding young birds. None of this was reported in the Moon Point EIS. Instead there was speculation — "24 were possibly breeding ". Amphibian Breeding Survey — only a trip was undertaken to determine breeding amphibians. The list does not include several common local species — notably salamanders It was too early to see Provincially Significant Blanding's Turtles and this highlights the inadequacy of the fieldwork Not one species of amphibian was found breeding there. Mammals — Only five species were observed — there are at least twice those numbers present. No attempt was made to sample small mammals — mice and shrews — by live trapping. Fishes - Only anecdotal data from 1991 was presented. No attempt was made to fulfill the requirement to sample fish populations spring, summer and fall by electro fishing or netting. Considering the perilous state of the Lake Simcoe fish population I would expect special attention would be paid to ensuring possible spawning grounds are not degraded. Other wildlife — Seventy -five per cent of our fauna is invertebrate. There is no mention in the report of insects or other invertebrates. Some of these are Species at Risk. I respectfully request that Oro- Medonte send my analysis to LSRCA with a letter supporting my analysis. Further 1 respectfully request that Council pass a Resolution asking LSRCA not to sign off on the Moon Point Development EIS until all the above data deficiencies are remedied. Council please note — you do not have staff or consultants who have the expertise to do the above environmental analysis. Perhaps it is time to appoint an Ecological Advisory Committee!!! On Nov. 24,2004 Council held an in- camera session to consider an amendment to the Official Plan, prepared by Nick MacDonald, to rezone Moon Point to allow housing development there. Questions — 1) Why was this held in- camera? I can suggest a reason — you were ashamed about what was being done! 2) Who authorized Nick MacDonald to prepare the amendment? One Councillor told me he does not recollect Council passing a Resolution authorizing the preparation of the amendment. 3) Were residents of Moon Point informed about this before the Public Meeting? Only Councillor Hough and Deputy Mayor Hughes voted against this give -away! This is important because apparently there are 40 other Lakeshore lots awaiting approval. Your faithful servant Jim Woodford 239 Moon Point Drive RR I, Orillia, Ontario April 7, 2005 Mayor Neil Craig and Council Members, Oro Medonte Township, Box 100, Oro, Ontario LOL 2X0 Dear Mayor Craig and Council: RE: Proposed Amendments to the Official Plan and the Zoning By -Law, and the Proposed Plan of Subdivision by Moon Point Corporation on Lands of Con 3, Part of Lots 15 & 16. After the public meeting on March 21, 2005,1 cannot say that the public has obtained answers to their concerns and council has a very serious decision to make concerning the proposed development of Moon Point Corporation. We urge you to consider all aspects of the effects of the proposed development and carefully consider what is the best for the community as a whole. The former Columbus Boy's Camp property is one of a few undeveloped shoreline properties on Lake Simcoe. Once developed it cannot be replaced, so you must be very sure of your decision. Whether soil conditions, the excessive amount of water on the property and the filtration process to the lake even makes the property desirable for development requires precise unbiased professional data. From what we understand the Province has authorized a $2.25 million study to address population and growth concerns and whether Lake Simcoe can withstand and support further development. Any decision regarding development of the subject lands in advance of this study would be premature and to me, irresponsible. Those of us who live along the shoreline are aware of the deteriorating water conditions of the lake. We find that aquatic plants have grown, and that minnows that use to run for days, no longer run. Young perch were once plentiful in the area, and spawning bass can be found less frequently. The Eco- system of Lake Simcoe is in crisis; we are told that unless we care and act that in ten years the take will be dead. The lands to be developed are heavily wooded with a natural berm along the shoreline. The idea of maintaining 70% of the trees is unrealistic, as excessive amounts of fill with the placement of the houses most of the tree cover would be lost. Such loss would no longer provide a habitat and nesting area for the many birds. There is no way of irrevocably and irreversibly destroying the delicate balance of nature, both on land and in the water, should this development be allowed to proceed. If this plan proceeds, what is council's vision of the other lands that remain as the Camp? I have to question the ability of the camp to continue to function as stated at the public meeting. YLCC has only a five -year lease. Upon the purchase of the lands the owner stated that there would not be any changes. Here we now face this plan. I suggest that this is only the first of his proposed development. To me, Council has set the way for the development of these lands with the Amendment to the Official Plan. I urge you to not proceed any further with the change in zoning. I believe the studies as prepared by the developer are biased and incomplete. A Peer Report would at least give unbiased opinions. We have to get this right! Lake Simcoe is a Great Lake in trouble. Your actions will express your commitment to all of the communities around the lake as well as the residence of Oro Medonte. A clean and healthy Lake Simcoe for the generation of the future will benefit all of us. That I believe should be your first commitment. Please give this serious consideration.

Not only is this extremely dangerous to the environment as has been clearly laid out but it goes against all the common sense of planning for the future of preserving Lake SImcoe. Promises had been made by the Mayor and council to not approve this and now for some unexplicable reason the proposed re- zoning may go forward. Is there something going on that the public should know about or will something come to light later that may put certain officials in jeopardy% I strongly suggest that the original vote against re- zoning be upheld.

" These riches of rural life are one of the big reasons why we both chose to leave Toronto and settle in Oro - Medonte. We love the peacefulness and natural surroundings that we find here. The Township is now at a point where Council can prevent a huge mistake from happening. The Moon Point Corporation wishes to "develop" the former Columbus Boys' Camp property by sub - dividing it into fourteen residential lots and building an access road. As was testified at the March 21' Public Meeting, the drainage over this property would be altered in very major ways, trees would be destroyed, and wildlife habitat would be lost irrevocably. We firmly maintain that the subject property is not suitable for any kind of construction or "development" project. Although Council may have been told, and may honestly believe that all remaining shoreline in the Township can and should be made available for residential construction, we hold that the Boys' Camp property is too ecologically important to be turned over to the bulldozer and the backhoe. This is a precious resource which we do not wish to see destroyed! Page 1 of 2 If the proposed Zoning Amendment and Plan of Subdivision are approved, the fourteen new property owners (despite any amount of regulated set -back) will have access to the shoreline de facto and de jure, inasmuch as they will in fact own it! Due to the influx of people, pets and boats, the seasonal birds and other creatures that make use of the shoreline for their homes and protection will no longer be able to do so! In effect, approval of the Zoning amendment and the Plan of Subdivision is tantamount to signing the Death Warrant for these creatures. On the other hand, we are sure that a display of willingness to preserve our natural heritage will have a positive impact on visitors' desires to spend their time and dollars in Oro - Medonte. In light of the recently released United Nations study on the environment (please see attachment), we all have an obligation to protect our Planet as much as we possibly can. This is our opportunity to protect one small part of it. The proposed development on the former Boys' Camp property MUST NOT BE ALLOR'ED. Respectfully submitted, Cam ,` C\ .9'j -%-� 0 .

Box 100 Oro, Ontario LOL 2X0 Attention: Marilyn Pennycook, Clerk Dear Mayor Craig and Members of Council, In reference to Planning Dept. Report for: 2004- OPA02, 2004- ZBA -09 & 2004 - SUB -01, dated January 17, 2005, my position is that the official plan and zoning bylaw not be changed and that the development not be allowed. The reasons for this are fourfold: 1. The natural heritage features of moist forest, ash swamp, shoreline push -up ridge and ephemeral, vernal pools form an important ecological complex that should be protected and may be unique in the County. 2. The height of the water table, the slope of the land, the large depth of floodplain and the shoreline protection zone render the property unsuitable for residential development. 3. The developer's mitigation measures are unlikely to work, especially not long -term 4. The property is a natural, and important feature of the local landscape that enhances the quality of life of all who canoe, kayak, snowshoe, cross country ski or walk past it, locals as well as tourists. The Environmental Impact Statement by Watershed Management and Greenland Consulting Engineers is severely lacking in species data and further site visits should be required. The property provides habitat for many animal groups however, onlysome of the birds, five mammal species and two fogs were mentioned. In the forest habitat, the ephemeral, vernal pools provide important breeding habitat for frogs and also for salamanders such as Yellow- spotted and at least one specie of the Blue Spotted - Jefferson Ambystoma complex. Because the Jefferson Salamander is provincially and nationally threatened (rank G4 and S2), should development approval not be postponed until it has been determined whether or not the Jefferson itself (A. Jeffersonianum) is present-, The Eastern Red -back Salamanderalso benefits from the increased soil moisture created by these pools. Milk Snake has been sighted on the property. Undoubtedly other reptiles are present. The forest provides habitat for many mammmals in addition to the ones listed in the EIS: Mink, Black Bear, Cottontail, hare sp., Eastern Grey Squirrel, Red Squirrel, Raccoon, Striped Skunk, and bat and mice species have also been sighted. The forest and shoreline are habitat to many birds not listed in the EIS. A few additional ones are Ruffed Grouse, Wild Turkey, Pileated Woodpecker, Bald Eagle, Great Blue Heron, American Bittern, Osprey, Green Heron, Double- crested Cormorant, Baltimore Oriole, Warbling Vireo, Barn Swallow, Northern Flicker, Bufflehead and Common Goldeneye The boulder, rock, gravel and sand lake substrate along with the tree overhang provide 1 good fish habitat and may be used as spawning beds. The health of the lake and of the fish habitat are directly related to the amount of natural ecosystem that surrounds it. The forest cover cools the ground water which is filtered as it percolates slowly through the soil and protective ridge. The S3 rarity rank of the Slender Wood Sedge, Carex gracilescens Steud., does it not signify protection? The ecosystem of the proposed development site should not be disturbed. A subdivision would result in considerable deforestation, and result in irreversible damage. The high water table produces shallowly rooted trees which then become prone to wind blow - down when the forest is opened up. Reduced forest cover and the additional sun and wind will have a drying affect on the forest floor, altering the habitat and further reducing the number of species. The placement of fill will kill additional trees as well and many forest floor dwellers. I do not believe that the mitigation efforts listed in the EIS will be of much benefit to prevent tree loss, or erosion or to reduce sediment loading. Reducing vegetation cover or modification of the ice push -up ridge will lead to erosion which may lead to property as well as further habitat damage, by wave action. The provincial green belt study recognizes that natural areas must be protected. The Provincial Policy Statement, June 2004 requires protection of "significant natural heritage features including.... habitat of endangered and threatened species" and of the "quality and quantity of ground water and surface water and function of sensitive areas" and to "restrict development and site alteration in sensitive areas ". The vision of the Oro - Medonte Official Plan "recognizes that the Township's open, relatively natural and rural character is the quality that residents value most about their community" (PD2005 -004, page 3)." The County of Simcoe's Official Plan goal is "to protect, conserve and enhance the county's natural and cultural heritage" (Report No. PD2005 -004, page 5). I endorse the above policies and appeal to you to act in accordance. Kirsten Burling, B.Sc.

Re: the Proposed Amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By -Law, and the Proposed plan of Subdivision of the lands described as Concession 3, Part of Lots 15& 16, situated at the bottom of Moon Point Drive. {Formerly the Columbus Boys Camp}. We are writing to voice our deep concern over the proposed development of the campsite on Moon Point Drive. We understand that the Province of Ontario has planned to fund a $2.25 million dollar study to address, along with other issues, Lake Simcoe's ability to adapt to more growth and lake development. To proceed to approve a development in such a sensitive area, with all the ramifications that may result, without knowing what the findings of this study will show, is irresponsible. We fail to understand why there is such urgency in making these decisions, when there are so many environmental risks involved. From our personal experience, we have been on the lake for 22 years without experiencing water in our basement until a home was built on the adjoining empty lot. Within weeks of the foundation being built, our basement was constantly flooded by the purposeful diversion of a natural flow of water under the construction site. During spring run off a previously unnecessary, and now newly installed sump pump goes continually. To assume that this type of incident will not be multiplied when there is a two feet natural water table on the land to be developed is inviting disaster to any potential lot buyer. Finally we are very troubled by the sudden change in the official plan which appears to have been done in haste and in camera. To whose benefit was this change? The well being of the Oro - Medonte taxpayers and their environment or the developer ?. This new plan places in jeopardy one of the few remaining natural wild life habitats on Lake Simcoe which should be respected and treasured. The burden of this decision should make members of council delay this rush to judgment. Respectfully, Lynne and Lionel Walters 219 Moon Point Drive. RR, #1 Orillia, Ontario.

Any decision regarding the development of the above lands in advance of this study in our view is premature. Until the final study is available, the development proposed by the Moon Point Corporation ( "MPC ") for development on the subject property should be deferred with a full Peer Report to be obtained before any decision is made by Council. Please give the following your consideration prior to making your decision on the above matter: There are wetlands throughout the MPC lands, including the camp area, as well as small water courses • This densely forested and wet section of land is one of the last remaining natural and undeveloped pieces of shoreline on Lake Simcoe (water sits at 1 meter below the surface through the proposed lot area). • The eco- system of Lake Simcoe is already in crisis, with fish and aquatic life being in jeopardy. • This area acts as a natural protected habitat for a multitude of wildlife including being a sanctuary for a myriad of ducks and other migrating waterfowl. The MPC Consultants have not done a complete habitat survey and this should be done to cover 3 seasons. We are located nearby and at least 9 mammals are not in the MPC list including mink, marten, weasel, wolf, muskrat, coyotes, raccoons, skunks and porcupines. Also not on the list were a number of species of birds, rodents and reptiles. The report on this is incomplete and misleading. • The shoreline lends itself to being a safe haven for various forms of aquatic life and for fish to lay eggs and spawn. • Shoreline water depth is minimal and would require dredging and the installation of long docks to accommodate boats. • The existing shoreline is heavily forested as well as elevated and berm -like. This impedes access to the Lake and will result in major excavation and alteration to the shoreline areas. This action alone will totally change the natural habitats that exist today. • There is no possible way to avoid irreversibly destroying the delicate balance of nature, both on land and in the water, should the MPC development be allowed to proceed as planned. • We believe that your decision to reject this project will benefit the Township of Oro- Medonte both financially and morally. A clean and healthy Lake Simcoe will assist all lakeside municipalities. Lake Simcoe is one of our County's greatest natural resources. Please help save our Lake and the environment. d/1 d / ?()M Page 2 of 2 There are already too many negative legacies that we are leaving our children and grandchildren When your consultant recommended changes to the Official Plan on August 5, 2003 he made the following statement to be added to the Plan: 'If such an application (`additional development) is submitted, the appropriateness of the immediate area for development from an environmental, servicing, character and traffic perspective shall be assessed. If major development is proposed, a detailed review of the entire shoreline area shall be carried out to determine if the proposed location is suitable and appropriate from a growth management perspective" - We urge you to consider those words carefully and to visit the full camp property and our property. We ask that you become fully apprised of all of the available information before you decide on what is best for the community as a whole, both now and for future generations. Please give your serious consideration to the above. We request that you reject the proposed amendments to the Zoning By -laws and the Proposed Plan of Subdivision. Respectfully Yours, Carolyne and John Macdonald 335 Woodland Drive, Orillia, Ontario Telephone: #326 -6081 4/14/2005 Oro Medonte Council:` Mayor Neil Craig Deputy Mayor Harry Hughes Counsillor Dan Buttineau Counsillor John Crawford Counsillor Paul Marshall Counsillor Ralph Hough Counsillor Ruth Fountain April 11, 2005 Dear Mr. Mayor, Mr. Deputy Mayor and Oro Medonte Council members, Re: Proposed Official Plan Amendment 2004- OPA -02 Proposed Zoning By -law Amendment 2004- ZBA -09 Proposed Plan of Subdivision 2004 - SUB -01 As residents of Moon Point Drive, Oro Medonte Township, we are very concerned about, and opposed to the above proposed Amendments. This forested and naturally wet section of Lake Simcoe shoreline is an essential habitat for many species, including migrating birdlife,amphibians and fish. The proposed subdivision and all that its construction will entail will irrevocably alter and /or destroy this irreplaceable habitat. The inevitable loss of trees combined with the alteration in the natural drainage of this wetland will undoubtedly have effects on the ecosystems of Lake Simcoe. We have grave concerns that the natural berm, rocks and trees of the waterfront will not be maintained if the subdivision construction were to ensue. It is our understanding that the Province of Ontario has felt it necessary to assess the ability of Lake Simcoe to adapt to any further growth or lakeside development. The Province has enough concern to warrant the authorization of a $2.25 million study. We think that it behooves you to consider very seriously the implications of approving a substantial lakeside development before this important study is completed and results presented. We are concerned about the size of the lots. Apparently only three of the proposed fourteen lots meet the minimum lot frontage requirement established by the Township of Oro Medonte for Shoreline Residential development. The overall size of the lots does not make this shoreline frontage deficit acceptable. We have chosen to live in a Residential Rural area for many reasons, and fear that this development will not only forever remove the natural buffer between the city of Orillia and rural Oro Medonte, but will also pave the way for future development on Moon Point Drive and Woodland Drive. Woodland Drive acts as a natural and beautiful rural boundary with the City of Orillia, and should remain as such. The proposed development will destroy one of the last remaining pieces of undeveloped shoreline on Lake Simcoe. We owe it to ourselves, our children, and to future generations to preserve such rare natural habitats. It is decisions such as yours on Council that will decide the fate of this land. We have elected you and placed our trust in you to very seriously consider the implications of approving such a development and irrevocably changing the Lake Simcoe landscape. Respectfully submitted, Dr. Margaret Burghardt Dr. Mark Rosati - . April 12, 2005 The Corporation of the Township of Oro - Medonte 148 Line 7 South Box 100 Oro, Ontario LOL 2X0 Attention: Mayor and Council of the Corporation of the Township of Oro - Medonte Re: Proposed Amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By -Law, and the Proposed Plan of Subdivision of the lands described as Concession 3, Part of Lots 15 & 16, situated at the bottom of Moon Point Drive Dear Mr. Mayor and Council, Having resided in the area of the above -noted lands for twelve (12) years now, (5 years as renters and, finally, 7 years as property owners), we feel deeply about the area, the environment and the irreversible affect that any development on the above lands could cause. Having been witness to various storms, weather anomalies, wildlife changes from season to season, year to year, and the general physical lay of the property in discussion, we can truly sense that the parties thrusting forward with this development proposal have taken nothing more than themselves into consideration. The following is a list of our own family's encounters with some of the area wildlife over the past few years: Beaver Porcupine Garter snakes & Ribbon snakes — (approx. 60 snakes were huddled in a ball beneath our shed preparing for hibernation) Mink Squirrels & chipmunks Lemming Mallard, Merganser and Downy ducks Blue Heron Osprey Woodpeckers and hummingbirds Owl Snapping Turtle (approx. 35 years old, attempting to lay her eggs) Loons Bats Rabbits Muskrats and Field Mice Frogs, Toads and Salamanders White -tail Deer Wild Turkeys (and, of course, the regular, run -of -the -mill skunks and raccoons) We are certain that we may be missing a few local creatures from our list and you'd be amazed to hear that this is what we've observed from our own property ( #137 Moon Point Drive). One can only imagine what other animal, insect and flora and fauna exist on the relatively untouched "Wetlands" property that is in discussion. To unbalance the cycle of life that exists in this area would be most detrimental. The sounds, smells and harmony that exist in this area, perhaps that last of its kind on the Lake Simcoe shoreline, can never be revisited once the decision is finalized and changes begin. What a shame it would be to allow such a seemingly small decision on paper turn into such a large and devastating blow to the balance of nature. We are the only voice for the present wildlife and nature and we'd be remiss if we did not try to hold on to such beauty for our children, our childrens' children and theirs as well in the future. Many similar developments were given the "go- ahead" around various parts of the Lake Simcoe shoreline. What are the results? High levels of pollution (including vehicles, boats, litter, sewage and noise), traffic, crime and the need for the Townships to raise taxes in order to upgrade roadways, drainage, water treatment, schools, emergency vehicles and staffing in general to handle the influx. Other areas suffer from sludge, algae and scum from the nitrates flowing into the lake from run -off that is improperly or poorly managed. Entire fish breeds are approaching the endangered list as their breeding grounds have dwindled. Is this what the Oro - Medonte Township wants to be known for? Will we simply become the next subdivision area and area open to any developers who wish to come in and slap up another bedroom community? I'd rather think that our Mayor and Council would like to be known as the hard - working township that fought to keep nature in its place — where it could continue to thrive and astound on- lookers and naturalists for years to come. We feel that the request to change the use of the lands as noted above was done so without ample research. Until all areas of concern are dealt with, we feel that the land should continue to be considered "Wetlands" and "Conservation/Preservation" lands as any change (even a small change allowing limited conditions) will have such repercussions that are irreversible. Please take the time to revisit all matters relating to the land in discussion and please take the time to review the results of the Provincial Study. We are asking you to consider everything from the shoreline to the wildlife to the aquatic life right down to the waterfowl and the lake water conditions as a whole. 1r % When we bought our property, the existing structure was 77 years old. In turn, we applied for all the appropriate permits, abided by all the rules and regulations as set out by the Township and researched for 5 years before we re -built our present home. We too had conditions and by -laws to uphold ... which we did. The natural berm -like shoreline is still intact (as was a requirement) and the ground water pools within our property and does not drain directly to the lake (another requirement). It sounds to us that any development on the above noted lands will more than likely ignore the natural drainage, pooling, filtering and reservoirs in order to get full use out of their `investment'. As much as the developer stated that they anticipate keeping as many trees as possible, any educated person knows and understands that as soon as a tree's drainage pattern/water supply changes even the slightest, a `shock' results. The tree suffers, causing it to dwindle or die and several other species in and around it will more than likely suffer, hence, beginning a `domino' effect. It's been seen before and it's truly only natural. We hope that you will consider all that is at stake and give consideration to the above. In so doing, we trust that you will reject the proposed amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By -Law, and the Proposed Plan of Subdivision, at least until the report findings are in and reviewed.

Box 100 Oro, Ontario LOL 2X0 Re: Proposed Amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw pertaining to the Concession 3, Part of Lot 15 and 16 Dear Mr. Mayor and Council Members It is the opinion of both of the undersigned that the official plan and zoning bylaw not be changed and that the application for subdivision on the subject site should not be allowed. My family and I have lived in the Four Mile Point area since 1987. We were drawn to the rural nature of the community and have enjoyed the tranquil environment and the abundance of wildlife and natural areas. We believe that the motion, in camera, passed on November 14th 2004 to recommend, and subsequently accepted by the County, the amendment of the Official Plan with the introduction of a new "Shoreline Residential' zoning was underhand and ill conceived Such an important initiative should have received the benefit of public input and we are sure that the vast majority of your residents would, in view of all the arguments that follow in this letter, have convinced Council to limit further Lake Simcoe shoreline development, at least for the time being, rather than encourage it. There are many reasons why we oppose the proposed development in this environmentally sensitive location by Moonpoint Development Corporation: Environmental - wetlands and low -lying land. You have heard from many more informed and eloquent sources than we, with regard to just how unique and sensitive the subject lands are to all humans, animals, birds, fish and other 4/14/2005 species that live in this area. Environmental — The protection of Lake Simcoe. It is a matter of public record that the growth around the shore of Lake Simcoe threatens it's very existence. The Province of Ontario has commissioned a $2.2m study to determine if the Lake can withstand more shoreline development. It would be irresponsible to allow further development pressure to take place before this study is completed and it's conclusions published. 3. Residential building requirements The Township of Oro - Medonte requires that the minimum lot frontage for Shoreline Residential is 30m. The proposed plan of development includes a number of lots that do not meet this minimum requirement. 4. Residential Rural Designation. The Residential Rural designation was established to ensure that a natural buffer exist between the city of Orillia and the rural nature of the Township. This buffer is increasingly important to retain as development pressures increase in both Oro - Medonte and Orillia as the City of Barrie reduces it's rate of growth. 5. Tree Loss For the proponent to state that 70% of the trees on this property would be maintained is truly unrealistic. The applicant developer also states that the houses to be built on the site would be 5 -6 feet off the ground main floor level. The massive amount of fill required would mean that tree loss is inevitable. Further tree loss as buyers cleared a view of the lake would result in the loss, for ever, of virtually all the trees on this site. Hydro - Geological Study. There has been limited work to date to determine if there are suitable conditions for the well digging that would be required in such a proposed sub - division. The depth of the test pits and evidence of non - conforming nitrate levels is again a serious caution to any type of approval. There are serious potential implications for our community which relies on individual wells and the present flow of ground water run off. We strongly recommend that our elected officials listen to views and opinions of local population that they are sworn to serve. PLEASE DEFEND OUR ENVIRONMENT AND THE HERITAGE OF OUR DESCENDANTS.

I have resided in Oro - Medonte since 1984. 1 emmigrated to Canada with my (then ?) husband and 3 year old son Paul from Poland in 1982 due to political and economical reasons. We lived in a highly industrialized and overpopulated city. Lets just say that environmental issues were on on the priority list of the communist government. Canada was the country of our choice also because of its beauty, nature, wildlife.. After spending our first 8 months in Toronto we started to look Tor jobs in our proffession outside of the big city. We found our piece of heaven in Oro - Medonte, on lake Simcoe. We bought a little cottage on 4 Mile Point, rebuild it, sold it and bought another one just around the comer on Moon Point. 1 am living there presently with my younger son Philip. It is a perfect area with its rural nature. Perfect to live now, perfect to raise children, perfect to retire... I am very happy to know that my both boys grew up in this community, that they have wonderful memories of spendidg their free time swimming in a great lake, fishing, canoeing, watching wildlife. They were able to learn a lot about the nature.. Environment is a main reason why 1 oppose this development in this sensitive location. 1 attended the meeting in Oro - Medonte Township on March 27. It appears to me that the consulting group have visited the site only in mid summer which uhimatly does not reflect the true nature of the property year round. I think it will be reasonable to demand that all spieces must be counted during 4 seasons.. I am certain that we have few endangered ones.. Proper, full ecological report has to be completed before taking any development under consideretion. Developers comments that 70% of the trees will be maintained is a joke... With massive amount of fill requered before building houses the trees will die. Rest of them will be removed by the home owners since they would like to have better view of the lake.. The tree loss will result in erosion problems and that will have an impact on natural ecosystem and the lake. It is important to mention that we observe significant deterioration of condition of the lake Simcoe during the last 10 -15 years. It is not too late however to do something to stop it and prevent from the worse. Our area has Residential Rural designation- do we want to change our area into another subdivision like one bihind Walmart? Do we want to create the same problems like with Bass lake development? It appears to me that it has been very limited work done re: conditions of the well digging from the developer's side. There are serious potential implications for our community and the lake if this work wont be done properly. .i I am employed by the Ministry of Community and Social Services — Huronia Regional Centre as a Speech Language Pathologist. As you all know HRC is going to be comletly closed by year 2009. Downsizing, residents' discharging process is starting this coming summer. HRC owns a very long strech of the lakefront past Moonpoint bay. We still don't know what plans the government has regarding this property.. It make sense to me to wait and see what is going to happen in the close neibourhood before making any decision re : Moonpoint development. I can go on and on listing all the reasons for this proposed development not to proceed. I think the most crucial is to remember that this is rural residential area and we would like to keep it this way... I am depending on you as our elected leaders to do the right thing. Respectfully Teresa Rekret 9 Moonpoint Dr co 4i 10./05 What on Earth are we doing to our planet? JAMES REYNOLDS - ENVIRONMENT CORRESPONDENT - "The Scotsman", Humans are damaging the planet at an unprecedented rate and increasing the risk of abrupt collapses in nature that could spur disease, deforestation or "dead zones" in the seas, an international report has found. The study, by 1,360 experts in 95 nations, said a rising human population had polluted or over - exploited two - thirds of the ecological systems on which life depends, ranging from clean air to fresh water, in the past 50 years. "At the heart of this assessment is a stark warning," the 45- member board of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment said. "Human activity is putting such strain on the natural functions of Earth that the ability of the planet's ecosystems to sustain future generations can no longer be taken for granted." The report specifically cautioned that the continued and profligate use of natural resources would result in many of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, agreed by world leaders in 2000, being blocked or missed altogether. Between 10 per cent and 30 per cent of mammal, bird and amphibian species were already threatened with extinction, according to the assessment, the biggest review of the planet's life - support systems. The growing bushmeat trade in Africa is said to pose particularly significant threats, with the native gorilla, chimpanzee and bonobo all suffering at the hands of poachers eager to make easy money from their slaughter. "Over the past 50 years, humans have changed ecosystems more rapidly and extensively than in any comparable time in human history, largely to meet rapidly growing demands for food, fresh water, timber, fibre and fuel," the report said. "This has resulted in a substantial and largely irreversible loss in the diversity of life on Earth." More land has been converted to agriculture since 1945 than in the whole of the 18th and 19th centuries combined, and more than half of all the synthetic nitrogen fertilisers ever used - they were first made in 1913 - have been applied since 1985. "The harmful consequences of this degradation could grow significantly worse in the next 50 years," the report said. It is the world's poorest people who suffer most from ecosystem service degradation. Those regions facing major difficulties include sub - Saharan Africa, Central Asia, some areas of Latin America, and parts of south and South -east Asia. Those who compiled the report included experts from UN agencies and international scientific and development organisations. Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary- General, said the study "shows how human activities are causing environmental damage on a massive scale throughout the world, and how biodiversity - the very basis for life on Earth - is declining at an alarming rate ". He went on: "Only by understanding the environment and how it works can we make the necessary decisions to protect it. Only by valuing all our precious natural and human resources can we hope to build a sustainable future. [This study] is an unprecedented contribution to our global mission for development, V��C- 5t ' % sustainability and peace." According to the report, there was evidence that strains on nature could trigger abrupt changes, such as the collapse of cod fisheries off Newfoundland, Canada, in 1992 after years of over - fishing. Future changes could result in sudden outbreaks of disease: for instance, the warming of the Great Lakes in Africa due to climate change could create the conditions for the spread of cholera. In another example, a build -up of nitrogen from fertilisers washed off farmland into the seas could spur abrupt blooms of algae that choke fish or create oxygen - depleted "dead zones" along coasts. The report said deforestation often led to less rainfall. And, at some point, lack of rain could suddenly undermine growing conditions for the remaining forests in a region. It also highlighted an unsustainable use of water for drinking, industry and irrigation. "We're seeing an increasing risk of abrupt changes in many ecosystems," Walt Reid, the executive director of the assessment, said. His team's report said that, in 100 years, global warming, widely blamed on the burning of fossil fuels in cars, factories and power plants, might take over as the main source of damage. This report mainly looks at other, shorter -term risks. The study; to be handed over to governments, said that big changes in consumption, better education, new technology and higher prices for exploiting ecosystems could put a brake on the damage. Ali Zakri, of the UN University, a co- chairman of the report, said: "Governments should recognise that natural services have costs. Protection of natural services is unlikely to be a priority for those who see them as free and limitless." A statement by the Millennium Assessment said: "The over -riding conclusion of this assessment is that it lies within the power of human societies to ease the strains we are putting on the nature services of the planet, while continuing to use them to bring better living standards to all. "Achieving this, however, will require radical changes in the way nature is treated at every level of decision - making and new ways of co- operation between government, business and civil society. The warning signs are there for all of us to see. The future now lies in our hands." Lord May of Oxford, the president of the Royal Society, said of the report: "There is every indication that humanity's Tootprinf on the Earth is already exceeding what is sustainable. And there are still great uncertainties about what we are doing to our planet. We don't, for example, even know how many species of plants and animals there are on Earth - let alone how many we are losing, or the value and services they provide us with. "The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment is a major step forward in our endeavours to understand this better - and, as such, is hugely important." Funding for the study was provided by the Global Environment Facility, the United Nations Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and the World Bank.

And I know that deep down inside, we all understand the enormity of the truth within the message. Over the past month, on my daily drive to and from home, I have marveled at the annual spring awaking of life in the marsh /wetlands in and surrounding the Columbus Boy's Camp north of Moon Point Drive, in Oro - medonte Township. Aside from the incredible diversity in wildlife so apparent even to the least observant passer -by, this unique and special place offers up so much more to us, our community, to society and to future generations, that it astonished me that there is even any debate or question about its future. Why should the proposed sub - division development be stopped for now and forever? 1. It acts as a perfect water filter for all water entering Lake Simcoe from the local catchment area — something occurring free and without cost to anyone. To replace this with man -made treatment facilities would not only be impossible, but any similar filtration system would be so costly, it would never be done. Despite what some experts will say, it is hard to improve of nature. 2. It is the LAST piece of un- spoilt natural waterfront still existing along the Lake Simcoe Waterfront, providing locals AND visitors with a wonderful opportunity to experience and celebrate our natural environment. Let's keep it that way. It's uniqueness is in fact something that other places and people would pay to see and experience. (Big yellow taxi!) 3. It is situated on a parcel of land that has been dedicated to educational usage since the 1920's, and should remain in place for the enlightenment of future generations of campers and other youth. 4. It's educational potential is enormous as it is ideally located within 5 — 10 minutes of most Orillia schools and Georgian College. The study of all things natural, of sustainable development, of respect for our environment and other more weight subjects yet to discover are all there for us to explore with a little imagination. Let's maintain this wetland for what we know and what we have yet to learn. The value of this place is impossible to quantify — it holds value scientifically, socially, emotionally, spiritually, and economically. We can all learn from what it so innocently offers us. Should we be so naive to let it disappear, we lose it all forever. As a local resident, a taxpayer and as a teacher and naturalist, I appeal to the Town Council of Oro - Medonte to make the right decision regarding any development of this treasure — vote no to this proposal.

I have been out of province for several months and as a result just became aware of public meeting scheduled for tonight, and will not be able to attend. It is my understanding that the lands in question are currently defined as Agricultural /Rural and Environmental Protection zones and that the proposed amendments if approved would be re- zoned to Shoreline Residential. I also understand that there is a proposed plan of subdivision for fourteen residential lots fronting on Lake Simcoe and that the proposed location of these lots is within the current Environmental Protection zones. I must state at this time that I am one hundred percent against any changes to the official plan, zoning by -laws and construction of a proposed sub - division on lands that are environmentally protected. As a homeowner in the area I am familiar with this area and I am shocked that this type of proposal would even by considered. Further, it is my understanding that there is currently a large multi - million dollar environmental study on the Lake Simcoe and it's surrounding regions, I would think that before any decision is made with the proposed amendments to this property that our government would at least wait until the study is complete, and can be reviewed in its entirety.

I have lived on Moon Point drive for more than fifty years, to be exact since the year 1951. During this time I have seen many changes to this and the surrounding areas, mainly due to development. We have very little natural wetands or land left, which has not been disturbed by development in this area. Woodlands Road is a country road, narrow, with two single lane bridges, that goes directly through the environmental wetands, and over two small waterways. This area provides the delicate habitat that various species of birds, fish, lizards, and deer need to survive. In recent years a pair of Ospry birds have come back to the exact same location to raise their young. Your decision on the proposed amendments, threatens all of this, or can save all of this for future generations of these animals, and the enjoyment of persons living in this and the surrounding areas. A few years back the City of Orillia proposed a "Super Jail" near this same area, on this same street to be exact, it was turned down, as the individuals involved in the decision- making realized that the development would cause severe environmental damage that could never be fixed.

Proposed Amendment to the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, and the Proposed Plan of Subdivision by Moon Point Corporation on Lands of Con. 3, Part of Lots 15 & 16. We, the resident's of MoonPoint and area, stress that we are strongly opposed to the above proposed zoning amendment and proposed plan of Subdivision.. We ask that a Peer Report be prepared regarding the subject site. We believe that the reports that the Township now have, prepared on behalf of the applicant, are incomplete and inaccurate. We also believe that an independent third party would gather all pertinent site data on a year round basis, prepare a complete inventory of birds, animals and mammals on site, and express an unbiased opinion of the effects of the proposed development on both the land and the waters of Lake Simcoe. Please find attached a petition expressing the desire of 128 concerned local citizens for such a Peer Report. We also believe that a decision to develop the lands before the recently announced Provincial Study on the Effect of Growth and Population on Lake Simcoe would be irresponsible and premature. All the facts surrounding the effects of the proposed development on this unique, fragile and ecologically important site need to be gathered and considered before a decision affecting this property can be made. We believe that this property, being one of the very few undeveloped lakeside properties on the shores of Lake Simcoe and within the Township of Oro - Medonte has unique environmental features that should be preserved for the benefit of all citizens and their descendants. Your decisions affect not only the life of present inhabitants, human and otherwise, but also the heritage of future generations.

We the undersigned are strongly OPPOSED to the above detailed amendments. The property is in no way suitable for development due to its low elevation, high water table and its proximity to Lake Simcoe. This parcel of land acts as a natural filter draining the uplands into Lake Simcoe. The proposed development will further contribute to the deterioration and potential demise of Lake Simcoe.

This report should be commissioned by the Oro - Medonte Township, at the cost of the applicant, to an environmental consultant to gather data from the subject site, over sufficient time to gather seasonal input, to support an Environmental Impact Study and report accordingly.

As an Chartered Accountant who deals with audits and segregation of duties, I wanted to offer you my input on the issue. Proper internal control requires the segregation of duties so that the "left hand" acts as a check on the "right hand ". In business "Management" makes the final decision. In Oro's case, I believe that Council acts as Management and makes the final decision. If Council instructs "X" to act in a manner, then no change should be made to "X "'s duties and responsibilities without Council's approval. Otherwise, Council cannot be certain that their wishes are being followed. Once Council approves "X's" responsibilies the proper internal control checks and balances are in place (assuming that "X" is doing their job), Council can assume that their wishes are being followed. If "X" can change their job description without Council's permission, Council cannot be certain that their instructions are being followed. While I believe that Council can safely allow Senior Staff to deal with changes to job descriptions at the Junior Staff level, I strongly recommend that any Senior Staff job descriptions be approved by Council. Once Council defines who will be included in Senior Staff (ie it may only be a handful of positions), this task will not be time consuming or difficult. If you wish, please call me to discuss this further.

PD 2005 -027 Council I Andria Leigh, MCIP, RPP Subject: Department: Council Zoning By -law Amendment Planning for Residential Care Homes Date: C. of W. April 18, 2005 R.M. File #: Motion # Date: Roll #: BACKGROUND /ANALYSIS: In August 2003 when Official Plan Amendment No. 17 was adopted by Council, new policies were included to permit residential care homes in all designations that permitted residential uses. The purpose of the attached Zoning By -law Amendment would be to implement the Official Plan policies into the Township's Zoning By -law 97 -95, as amended. It has consistently been the position of the Province of Ontario that residential care homes should be permitted as of right in any land use designation that permits residential uses. The Township adopted residential care home policies in their Official Plan to provide some direction on where these facilities should be permitted and under what conditions. Similar to many municipalities, the Township included within this policy that registration of the establishment of residential care homes in accordance with the Municipal Act may also be required. The Township will be implementing a residential care home registration application which will be required to be completed by each applicant and filed with the Township Clerk. Each Site Plan Agreement will contain a clause that requires the applicant/landowner to file the registration application with the Clerk. The Township also determined the need to distinguish between residential care homes that are designed to be occupied by those who have mental or societal issues and between those residential care homes that are designed to be correctional in nature. Correctional Residential Care Homes are not permitted as of right in the Township's policies and are required to proceed through a Planning Act process (re- zoning) for consideration. In order to implement the Official Plan policies, the definition for "Community Residential Facility" that is currently contained in Zoning By -law 97 -95 is required to be deleted and definitions for the following are required to be added: "Residential Care Homes ", "Correctional Residential Care Homes ", and "Crisis Care Facilities ". The definitions contained in the attached by -law are consistent with definitions utilized in a number of municipalities across the Province. At the same time as the new definitions are being added to the Zoning By -law, Tables Al — Residential Zones Permitted Uses and Table A4 — Agricultural /Rural Zone Permitted Uses will be amended to add Residential Care Homes as a permitted use. Correctional Residential Care Homes and Crisis Care Facility although defined in the by -law will not be permitted in any zone and therefore are prohibited without a Zoning By -law Amendment allowing such a use being approved by Council. A public meeting is being held on Monday April 18, 2005 and to date no concerns have been filed with the Township. There are currently two applicants awaiting the zoning amendment to be completed having proceeded with the other requirements of the Official Plan and the Building and Fire Departments. On the basis that the Zoning By -law Amendment is required to ensure compliance with the adopted Official Plan policy for Residential Care Homes, and no concerns being raised at the public meeting, it is recommended that Council adopt the Zoning By -law Amendment that would add definitions to Section 6.0 of By -law 97 -95 for "Residential Care Homes ", "Correctional Residential Care Homes ", and "Crisis Care Facility" and would permit Residential Care Homes only in any zone that permits residential use. 1. THAT Report No. PD2005 -027 be received and adopted; and 2. That the Clerk bring forward the appropriate Zoning By -law Amendment to include new definitions for Residential Care Homes, Crisis Care Facilities, and Correctional Residential Care Homes for Council's consideration.

Page I of 1 '�cl," Marilyn Pennycook From: Ferguson Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 10:34 AM To: Marilyn Pennycook Subject: Garbage issue Dear Mr Craig: (Mayor) It is not my normal practice to become involved in complaining about services provided by the community of Oro Medonte as I am extremely proud of our community but there is a problem with the existing practice of collecting 2 bags of garbage a week from each home. We are retired and spend 5 months in Florida and 2 months at our summer home in Rosseau but yesterday we had and extra 2 bags of garbage refused by our garbage collectors who were fulfilling your decisions. This means that we do not use the garbage services for 6 -7 months a year in Oro Medonte and are penalized whenever we do not meet the existing restraints. I have been in touch with Simcoe Environmental Service who suggested that a more equitable way to provide service would be to provide each resident with 104 tags for the year. The problem apparently with this alternative was that the collection agents would have to check for tags which I believe is part of the responsibility required when one goes to limited access. It should no longer be the Tax Payer who is penalized for equalized service. Realizing the amount of taxes we are presently paying for waste disposal in Sequin Township, Oro Medonte, and Destin Florida it is upsetting to think that we are unable to do spring cleaning without paying and additional $2.00 per bag. We are not asking to receive preferential treatment but instead to be provided the service for which we are paying. This alternative also takes into account the uniqueness of individual life styles as well as the fact that a great many people within our community are retired and spend a lot of their time vacationing elsewhere. Thanking you in advance for considering this alternative or a similar fair practice Sincerely Grant Ferguson 835 2727 FREE Ernoticons for your email!

Our league has a good reputation and with over 550 children registered this year we are looking forward to another fun season. With the OMHA rules that exist our children play hockey in Coldwater (Severn) or Orillia. They also play baseball and t -ball in Coldwater or Orillia. For other sports many pay the user fee and go to Orillia. With the busy schedules of families and price of gas today, we take our children to activities that are close to home so any programmes that are run by the Parks & Rec. department out of the Guthrie Arena are just not an option. Most of our players live in the Township of Oro- Medonte. We would like to ask what the township offers the children in our community. What is going to make them want to stay and raise their children here? We have not asked for much from the township in the past. We ask for the grass to be cut on Tuesdays so it is in good shape for playing, but if we were not using the field you would still have to cut the grass. We ask for a few garbage barrels and for them to be emptied weekly (saving the township picking up litter everywhere), and while we would like more than two, the township puts two port-a- potties in the `park' for the 1500 people we have in the field each week. Other than that we run pretty smoothly without asking too much of the township. If we find any large rocks in the field, the township has come and removed them. But leaving them is a liability should someone fall and get hurt. We were told the field would be top - dressed this year, and that has since changed as it is not in the budget, so we understand and just keep our eyes open for problem spots that may arise. For the past two years the Township has generously lined our fields for us and we appreciate this very much. This year we were told it was not in the budget so they would no longer be able to do it. We understand this completely so we asked how much it would cost if we were to pay for it. We were quoted a figure of $160 per time plus we would have to supply the lime (which we have done in the past years). Our season is ten weeks long and when you do the math, this figure seems rather high to us. Stop and think about it. At the very most it may take two people three hours to line the fields. But this is if they are trying to stretch out the time and make lot of money at it. So, $160 is more than $25/hour /person. We are trying to keep our league affordable to the children. It is for the children that we volunteer our time to keep this organization running. Our league gives them healthy social interaction as well as helping to keep them physically fit so we would like to ask if you could please reconsider this figure and see if we can't arrive at one that our league can afford as well as covering your costs. Remember it is for the children. It is not a business we are running, but an organization run by volunteers giving of there time for the children. We are giving of ourselves to keep the children happy and healthy. Can you help us reach our goal? 4/20/2005 Thank you, Janet Doughty President Warminster Soccer League warminstersoccer @rogers.com phone # 327 -1226 fax # 327 -8922 rage L or L 4/20/2005 Nu -) THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF ORO- MEDONTE BY -LAW NO. 2005 -033 A By -law to Authorize the Execution of a Site Plan Control Agreement between The Corporation of the Township of Oro - Medonte and Timothy Pierce and Shelley Motz described as lands as follows: Lot 76, Plan 1464 — Being all of PIN #58561 -0062 (Lt) (Oro), Township of Oro - Medonte — Roll #4346-010-011-15600-0000 WHEREAS authority to enter into Site Plan Control Agreements is provided for in Section 41 of The Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990, c.
