Once again I wish to thank you for this opportunity to make a presentation to the Committee of the
Whole on behalf of the residents of Bass Lake Heights.
Historv of the Issue
We came before you last fall in response to a subdivision planned for the City of Orillia in the area
south of the Bass Lake side road and west of the Harvie Settlement Road that is shown on Page 1 of
the sketches that I have distributed,
We are concerned about the traffic that will be developed by the construction of a minimum of 2200
dwellings in the proposed subdivision and its effect on our subdivision of 43 homes. [That is roughly
44 homes for every one in our subdivision,]
In response to our concerns Council pressed the City of Orillia to move the entrance of Street "D" to
the east and thus reduce the threat of traffic from the Stone Ridge Subdivision from using our
subdivision to get to and from Highway 12.
To no one's surprise the City of Orillia refused to change the configuration of the subdivision.
Recent appearance
We appeared again at a public meeting and suggested:
. that the configuration be changed
. and also that the City of Orillia consider a levy on the developer to fund necessary
improvements in the future to the road system on the Bass Lake Side Road, the Bass
Lake Road and the Harvie Settlement Road
Council of the City of Orillia refused both requests.
At that meeting I indicated that I intended to file an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board.
My intention at the time was to press as hard as I could for a satisfactory result. That didn't happen.
However, by pressing, we did create the right atmosphere at the meeting.
When asked a directly by a member of council, if the closure of the subdivision would affect the
subdivision, the planner for the developer answered: "No".
An appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board
After considering the matter further, I have no intention of appealing the issue to the Ontario Municipal
Board.
I am sure that I would be told that the Township of Oro-Medonte has the power to alleviate the traffic
in it's own domain and that is who should do the fixing.
\.\.C\~
However, raising the profile of the issue in the public domain has resulted in a suggested solution that
was not present at the start of the controversy that I will get to in a minute.
Who should pav for necessarv improvements as a result of development?
I have stated, all along, on my own behalf, that I am pro-development.
In addition, I am not opposed to this development. However, myself and my neighbours are opposed
to the increased traffic that it will funnel through our subdivision.
We all would agree that a developer should be responsible for the increased costs, direct and indirect,
that it imposes on present and future taxpayers, as a result of new development.
The City of Orillia's planner stated at the public meeting held by the City of Orillia that the developer
could not be held responsible for the cost of future improvements to the road system as a result of the
development.
I didn't press on the matter but I think that it could be put this way.
If a developer comes to a municipality that desperately wants development the municipality must be
careful not to "sell the farm" in its consideration of the development.
By that I mean the municipality must play their cards carefully and take "future costs to present and
future" taxpayers into consideration in preliminary discussions with the developer.
The fact that such costs are a consideration can be a valuable tool to a municipality that is thinking
down the road, figuratively and literally.
The City of Orillia, council, planners and bureaucracy, collectively obviously did not do so.
For that reason, present and future taxpayers of the City of Orillia and the Township of Oro-Medonte
will pay for the future cost brought on by the development of the Stone Ridge Subdivision. not the
developer.
I don't blame the developer. It is not up to him to point out potential costs to the municipality.
The solution to the traffic problem presented bv the Stone Ridae subdivision
Once again we have surveyed residents of our subdivision as to their preference for a solution to the
increased traffic presented by the Stone Ridge subdivision.
The results are as follows:
. Homeowners would prefer to see Hepinstall Place closed off with provision for access
by emergency vehicles
. Homeowners would prefer to see Sunset Cres. closed off with provision for access by
emergency vehicles
. Homeowners don't want either entrance closed off.
A new solution
After my public presentation I was called by a homeowner with a solution that will I think satisfy
everybody and can be put into place at a relatively small expense.
That solution is found on Pages 2, 3 and 4 in the handout that was distributed.
On Page 2, the Bass Lake Side Road solution, the idea is:
. To construct a turn-off lane for traffic proceeding west along the Bass Lake Side Road
to turn right into our subdivision when proceeding west of the Harvie Settlement Road.
. To construct an entrance lane for traffic exiting our subdivision and proceeding west
along the Bass Lake Side Road.
. To so construct a curbed section in the middle that will prevent traffic proceeding north
from Street "D" or west along the Bass Lake Side Road from turning into our
subdivision. A "no left turn sign" would also be useful.
On page 3, the Highway 12 solution, the idea is:
. To ask the Ministry of Transportation to construct a turn-off lane for traffic proceeding
east on Highway 12 to turn off into our subdivision.
. To ask the Ministry of Transportation to construct an entrance lane for traffic exiting our
subdivision and proceeding east.
On page 4, the safest Highway 12 solution, the idea is;
. To ask the Ministry of Transportation to construct a curbed section in the middle so as
to prevent traffic proceeding west along Highway 12 from turning left at Sundial
Crescent.
This solution may be controversial and in fact may not be favoured by the residents of our subdivision
in that it will inconvenience traffic proceeding west from the City and Highway 11.
That will force us to turn left at the Harvie Settlement Road along with all the dump trucks and school
buses that now use that intersection without the inconvenience of the stop-light that should have been
there years ago.
However, in my opinion it is a safer way to manage traffic.
1. The turn-off lane for traffic coming east and turning right off Highway 12 into our subdivision is
far too short and we understand that it is to be made longer and safer.
2. There is a left hand turn lane for traffic turning left off Highway 12 into our subdivision. This is
an exciting event at any time.
However, the turn is much easier in the summer than the winter when care must be taken to
drive through the variable levels of snow left by the snowplows.
All three solutions allow for access by emergency vehicles and road maintenance.
We ask that you give consideration to these solutions in the months ahead.
C\
The Highway 12 solution is very timely since every surveyor in Ontario seems to be working on the
stretch of highway from Price's Corners to Highway 11.
With proper co-ordination and discussions the solutions may be very workable.
We would suggest that all of this can be done if there is a will at the Council table.
The profile given by the media to my presentation at City Council was misleading.
While I take pride in my past, especially in the light of recent events, it mystifies me as to why the
article highlighted the fact that I am the former Member of Parliament for Simcoe North and a former
Cabinet Minister in Mulroney's Cabinet.
That of course has nothing to do with the validity of my argument.
I did not have to seek Cabinet approval for my presentation to the City of Orillia.
The media in reporting the presentation neglected to report on a very important part of my
presentation, namely, the request that I made on behalf of the residents on the north part of the Bass
Lake Road in the proximity of the beach and the intersection of the Bass Lake Road and Highway 12.
I asked the City to consider a levy on the developer to deal with the increased costs of fixing the Bass
Lake Side Road and the Bass Lake Road.
My actual remarks to the City of Orillia were:
"The Township is particularly vulnerable on the Bass Lake Road. Increased traffic on the
stretch from the Bass Lake Side Road will make it particularly dangerous because of the narrow road
and the beach."
As I said earlier, the City of Orillia missed the opportunity to bargain for the increased costs. That is
not the issue now.
The media portrayal of my presentation led to a meeting of myself and John Ayerst with some of the
homeowners in the area in question.
Unfortunately, we are suggesting a solution that may result in increased traffic through their area.
They have a problem now and they will have a bigger problem in the future, whether or not any or our
solutions are adopted.
We do not subscribe to the City of Orillia's attitude of fobbing off our problems on a neighbour and
therefore we are asking Council to add our concerns to the homeowners in on Bass Lake Road.
They have a serious problem now.
We understand that they have made a deputation to Council and asked that their concerns be
addressed.
We would ask Council to consider long-term solutions to increased traffic now before anyone gets
hurt.
In closing
\{q-
In closing, we would suggest that we have done everything that we can to bring an impending
problem before Council.
We have done our homework.
We have surveyed our neighbours twice.
We have addressed the problem of emergency vehicles and
maintenance vehicles.
We have suggested that timely action can produce cost-savings by co-ordinating with the Ministry of
Transportation with respect to the work on Highway 12.
We have suggested reasonable solutions.
Thank you for your time and attention.

2005 Grader Lease Public Works

Motion # A.M. File #:
L 14-14601
Date: RolI#:
II BACKGROUND:
II
At the Regular Committee of the Whole meeting held on April 13, 2005, Report #PW2005-03
(Attachment #1) was presenled to Council recommending that the Public Works Superintendent be
authorized to lease two (2) new Caterpillar graders from Toromont Caterpillar at the quoted price of
$3,093.19 a month, per machine, for five years. Council deferred this Report pending further
information on M.T.O. specifications, service and parts availability, and operator comfort level.
I ANALYSIS:
II
Other local municipalities presently operating Volvo 730 graders were contacted for their opinions
with regards to service and operating features. All the operators expressed a preference for the
Caterpillar 160H grader because of the ease of operation and comfort level.
Service from Toromont during Ihe summer is completed at their facility in the Forest Home Industrial
Park. Servicing of equipment is carried out after business hours on Thursday, with pick-ups on
Monday morning. This service schedule works well with the Public Works summer work week,
offering parts availability and no lost time.
The other comparison undertaken involved the engines each grader type has to offer. The Volvo 730
has a 436ci Volvo motor with a torque curve of 774 lb. ft. and a blade pull of 22,685 Ibs. The
Caterpillar 160H has a 629 ci Caterpillar motor with a torque curve of 867 lb. 11. and a blade pull of
31,104 Ibs. Higher torque curve and blade pull capability are essential to efficient operation.
-~
Based on good service and parts availability, operator satisfaction, as well as motor torque curve and
blade pull, it is recommended to lease two (2) new Caterpillar 160H graders from Toromont
Caterpillar.
~ RECOMMENDATION(S):
II
1. THAT Report No. PW2005-07 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the Public Works Superintendent be authorized to lease two (2) new Caterpillar 160H
graders from Toromont Caterpillar for a term of five years.
3. AND THAT the Public Works Superintendent advise Champion Machinery and Ontrac Equipment
accordingly.
Respectfully submitted,

In July of 2000, the Township of Oro-Medonte entered into a Lease Agreement with Toromont
Caterpillar to lease two (2) 140H motor graders. This five year Lease Agreement will terminate in
July, 2005 and the two (2) 140H motor graders will be returned to Toromont.
Sealed quotations to lease two new graders, complete with wing and snow harness, were received
from the following companies and opened at the Administration Office on April 1 , 2005 at 1 :00 p.m.:
. Champion Road Machinery Sales
. Ontrac Equipment Services Inc.
. Toromont Caterpillar
Mayor Neil Craig, Recording Secretary Janette Teeter, Public Works Superintendent Jerry Ball, and
representatives from Ontrac Equipment Services Inc. and Champion Road Machinery Sales were
present during the opening.
Attached for Council's perusal is a summary comparing the quotations, indicating total purchase price
and a three and five year lease, with the option to purchase after five years. All prices quoted below
are before taxes.

Note: John Deere revised to remove the 60 month maintenance contract, which was included
in first lease quotation.
II ANALYSIS:
~
The quotations and financial options were reviewed with the Treasurer. Discussions were held with
the Foremen of both yards, as well as grader operators, to compare operating functions and
characteristics. Upon comparing the operating statistics provided for each machine, it was concluded
that the 160 H Caterpillar grader has a heayier operating weight, better engine torque, and a
substantial positive difference on blade pull versus the competition.
In the 2000 Lease Agreement with Toromont, each grader was estimated to operate 1,000 hours per
year. If the total hours of operation, per machine, exceeded 5,000 within the five year lease, there
would be a penalty charge of $32.04/hour. One of the existing graders will have an estimated 1,200
hours of overtime usage, which will be an additional cost to the municipality of $38,448.00. Toromont
Caterpillar provided a letter within their sealed quotation outlining this overtime penalty. It is also
stated in this letter that if the Township of Oro- Medonte decides to release two new Caterpillar
graders, Caterpillar Finance will discharge the Township of any overtime hour penalties that have
been incurred. As such, the effective monthly rental cost of the Caterpillar 160 H is $2,452.39.
Upon reviewing all machine statistics and considering the penalty for overtime hours, it is
recommended that two new 160 H Caterpillar graders, complete with snow wing and harness, be
leased from Toromont Caterpillar at the quoted price of $3,093.19, plus taxes, for five years. This
quoted price is based on 1,500 hours of operation, per year, per machine, with a Residual Value of
$122,782.50.
rl RECOMMENDATION(S):
I
1. THAT Report No. PW2005-03 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the Public Works Superintendent be authorized to lease two new 160 H Caterpillar
graders from T eromont Caterpillar at the quoted price of $3,093.19, plus taxes, for five years.
3. AND THAT the Public Works Superintendent advises Champion Road Machinery Sales and
Ontrac Equipment Services Inc. accordingly of Council's decision.

Council
Speed Control and Traffic Public Works
C.ofW. Concerns - Line 15 North Date:
May 18, 2005
Motion R.M. File #:
#
T08-12728
Date: Roll #:
II BACKGROUND:
II
A deputation from the residents of Line 15 North was presented to Council in
February, 2005 requesting Council's consideration of the installation of speed bumps
along Line 15 North, between Highway #12 and the Bass Lake Sideroad. In addition
to the speed bumps, the local residents also requested that this section of road be
designated Community Safety Zone.
Line 15 North has become a busy commuter route, carrying traffic from Highway #12
West and surrounding areas, to local businesses in the southwesterly portion of the
City of Orillia. The traffic count on this section of roadway is 150 to 200 vehicles, per
hour, during morning and evening rush hour.
Heavy trucks are prohibited under by-law 2004-068 on Line 15 North between
Highway #12 and Bass lake Side Road. Local residents have reported that trucks
continue to travel within the restricted area to Highway #12 or into the Orillia City limits.
Section 1 a) of the by-law provides the definition of "heavy truck" means a truck having
an unloaded weight of at least 4.6 metric tonnes (Regulation 601, R.R.O. 1990,
Highway Traffic Act).
ANALYSIS:
Barrie O.P.P. have been active in providing enforcement for Line 15 North and in
recent discussions with Detachment Commander Ed Whinnery, he has advised that an
officer attends Line 15 North every second day for 1 to 1 Y2 hours to assist in the 40
km/h speed enforcement. During these patrols, there have been three to four charges
laid each time, including truck violations and warnings. Detachment Commander
Whinnery has developed a "Traffic Complaint Initiative" Form for all speed complaints
which will assist in tracking all complaints and charges laid within the municipality.
Staff have also been monitoring the area for truck traffic and in those instances report
no truck violations.
Speed bumps have been requested from other residents in different areas of the
community and Council has historically denied the request on the basis of liability and
that speed bumps have been proven to be dangerous especially during the winter
maintenance period.
Further discussion occurred with the staff from the City of Orillia and a local sign
company. The City utilized two speed bumps within a street block as a traffic calming
device near a high school zone. According to City staff, the results were not favourable
and problems worsened as drivers would stop on top of the bump and accelerate
rapidly, causing dislocation of the bumps and creating higher than normal noise levels.
Vehicles would also ease over the bump and then drive erratically at a high speed
down the street; resulting in City staff removing the bumps and recommending that this
type of traffic-calming measure should only be used within parking lots.
It is recommended that speed bumps not be placed along Line 15 North, between
Highway #12 and the Bass Lake Sideroad.
Residents also requested consideration be given to changing Line 15 North, between
Highway #12 and Bass Lake Sideroad, to a Community Safety Zone. Council has in
the past deliberated the issue of declaring an area as a Community Safety Zone.
The Detachment Commander at that time, Detachment Commander Hassberger,
advised the Township that a Community safety Zone demands a higher standard of
enforcement and is usually in the vicinity of a school.
- 2-
b-3
Currently, the municipality has three Community Safety Zones on municipal roads
located within school zones. Line 15 North does not meet the Township criteria or
approach utilized by other municipalities. Commander Whinnery recommends that
Line 15 North not be dedicated has a Community Safety Zone as patrol could not be
increased to enforce the zone at this time. Commander Whinnery also feels that his
patrol personnel are making some positive changes to speeders on Line 15 North, with
increased patrol of the area and charges being laid.
Therefore, it is recommended to Council that no Community Safety Zone be created
on Line 15 North from Highway #12 to Bass Lake Sideroad.
II RECOMMENDATION(S):
I)
1. THAT Report No. PW2005-06 be received and adopted.
2. THAT no Community Safety Zone be created on Line 15 North between Highway
#12 and Bass Lake Sideroad.
3. THAT no speed bumps be installed on Line 15 North between Highway #12 and
Bass Lake Sideroad.
4. AND THAT the Public Works Superintendent advise the residents of Line 15 North
of Council's decision.
