t1ARBOURWOOD SUBDIVISION PLAYGROUND
Request:
The Township of Oro Medonte to fund and build a
neighbourhood park in Harbourwood.
Location:
Harbourwood Park or Shellswell Park
My name is Karen Penrose, and I have been a resident of Oro Medonte
for 10 years. I live in Harbourwood Estates. The demographics of this
neighborhood has changed over the past few years. Many new fanmilies
are moving into the subdivision with young children. There is a need for a
playground area in this subdivision. Currently a petition is circulating to
gather support for this endeavor.
Children love playgrounds. Believe it or not, play is one of the most
educational activities for children. A child gains incredible skills from
playing on a well designed play structure. Before children are 6 years of
age, their experiences impact how they learn about aspects concerning
their daily lives.
A proper play structure has enough space and sturdy equipment that
allows a child to use his/her imagination while exercising. Climbers,
overhead features, firefighter poles and tunnels are great tools for this. A
child will use multiple skills and create many scenarios as they play on a
playground.
What's learned in outdoor play refines a child's gross-motor skill. Beyond
the physical skills, children can also learn in a variety of other ways.
Creativity is integral to the development of imaginary play. Language skills
are encouraged when children have to explain the rules of a new game
or invite others to join them while they play. Children have to learn to
follow rules (both the safety rules of adults and the unwritten rules of
children's play), settle disagreements, or choose who will be the leader,
captain or king of the jungle for the day.
Another benefit of playground is the opportunity for children to participate
in unstructured play. Many children today do participate in extra-curricular
activities, but those activities are often adult directed and very structured.
The opportunity to go to the play ground and play however you want is
important to the development creativity.
The Ontario Government also mandates the implementation of daily
physical activity. It is widely acknowledged that physical activity is essential
to children's growth and development. Regular physical activity can have
a positive impact on a students' physical, mental, and social well-being.
It is our hope that we have the support of council to move forward with
this iniative, and that we can work together with all partites involved in
planning and constructing a playground.
With the many benefits that a playground gives to children, I hope to see a
playground in my neighbourhood soon!

~'J. ILtJ I1J~~
Good evening, my name is Bill Cairns; I live on Basswood
Circle in the Arbourwood Subdivision. 5 years ago when I
began looking for a home in the Barrie area, I looked all over,
both in Barrie and areas all around. I settled on the
neighborhood of Arbourwood for many reasons, its closeness
to the lake, country feel, and large open spaces. The
subdivision the time I first saw it was devoid of almost any
housing and was presented to me in an official plan as having
two large green spaces. I knew it would be a number of years
before the development was finished to final plan, before the
roads resurfaced, before the parks were completed but I
bought expecting the plan, presented to me, to be accurate.
My family took possession of our house in July 2004, since
then, the building of the neighborhood has proceeded at a
furious pace. In the last year alone most of the resident's of our
commuuity have moved in to their newly built homes. They
have had to deal with the pressing problems inherent with that
@
change. They haven't had a chance to explore their
neighborhood yet To have council pushing hard for the sale of
their greenspaces this soon isn't fair.
My letter to Council of April 7 2006 stated my strong
opposition to the sale of any green spaces, and my letter to
council from May 11th requests these lands remain as a
natural parkland for the benefits of today's and future
generations.
I want to refer to one letter in particular from Mr Raymond
Arbour, which was received by the clerk of the township on
May 9th 2006. Mr. Arbour was the original developer of this
subdivision and speaks of both the past history of the
subdivision and his original intentions of the green spaces
LU~\l(>~
within, let Emily Park exist as a green space witlt encompasses
both blocks 102 and 103.
I implore council to reconsider this hasty and ill conceived plan
to sell any green space. You don't need two more houses, we
don't want two more houses, we want the green space that was
officially planned and presented to us.
The report to Council ADM2006-033 dated May 17,2006,
generates more questions and irregularities than it resolves.
Many of the questions asked both from the majority opposed
to selling our green spaces and the minority who are willing to
part with the same green spaces are not answered. Since many
of those people are now here tonight at the meeting, I ask that
council let them come forth and ask them again before any
vote takes place.
Thank you

MARILIN PENNYCOOK
TGWNSHIP CLERK
TOWNSHIP OF ORO-/l.EDONTE
I wish to make a few comments on the proposed sale by the Township
of Blocks 102 and 103 on the AIlBOU'RWOOD SUBDIVISION.
I was the developer of this subdfvision, and therefor am knowledge-
able about it_ One of the strict requirements for approval of this
subdivision was that a minimum of 5 percent of the land area be ded-
icated as parkland. Two narks were dedicated,. beilli' AP.BOURWOOD park
being Block 101 containinl[ 1. 5 HA or 3.7 acres, and E}IlL! park, being
Block 103 containinl[ .73 MA or 1.8 acres. The total of both parks is
5.5 acres. The total area of the subdivision is 44.03 HA or 108.8 ac.
Five percent of this area is 5.44 acres. Therefor the park land area
requirement was met by the dedication of these two land areas of 5.5
acres. I was surprised to learn that what was a firm reouirement of
the Township and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs to obtain their
approval of my subdivision, is now being subverted.
I am opposed to the sale of Block 103, and consider that DilLY park
which was named after my grand-daul"hter should be developed for the
purpose planned.
As to lllock 102. this was stipulated to be the detention pond. i'o'hen
my neighbour refrusedr, to l'I'ant a drainage easement, I then purchased
15~ acres of his land and the detention pond was moved to this prop-
erty. Block 102 vras then not required for its intended purpose~
Block 102 contains .$6 or 2.12 acres . This parcel adjoins EYJLY park
and would make an excellent addition to this park, giving it an area
of 3.92 acres. I am of the opinion that Block 102 should be added to
Block 103 to form a park larJ:'e enoul'h for the developlll"nt of recreatjj,
anal facilities.
Yours truly
Haymond (Bud) Arbour

(a) Source Water Protection
The Director, Watershed Management introduced Ms. Jane Gill, Director, Trent
Talbot River Property Owners Association who was in attendance to provide a
presentation to the Board regarding source water protection.
Ms. Gill identified various concerns regarding risk to water in the City of Kawartha
Lakes and requested assistance from the LSRCA to escalate the completion of a
cumulative assessment to the identified areas. Ms. Gill expressed concern with the
number of communities currently relying on well water and with the current Permit
to Take Water (PTTW) process. There are several operating quarries in the area
extracting billions of Iitres of water annually causing wells to dry up.
The Authority's Manager, Source Water Protection outlined the current process

Minutes - Page 6 of 11
underway advising that the SWP Teams will be looking first at areas presently under
stress and will then deal with those areas under less stress. The Wellhead
Protection areas have similar timelines (2008 completion). Vulnerability mapping is
available for municipal wellheads however, this does not address communal wells,
which must be investigated further.
The Manager, Source Water Protection indicated that there may be an opportunity
to take advantage of provincial grant programs for this area. It will require further
investigation based on the information provided to accelerate the preparation of a
water budget.
The CAO advised that the PTTW issue in Ontario is a serious one. The Technical
Experts Committee for Source Protection Planning made recommendations to have
this policy reviewed and repaired. The Ministry of the Environment is still considering
whether they will continue to administer this policy or move it to the Conservation
Authorities.

Subject: Parkland@Arbourwood Subdivision
Dear Mr. Carter,
Please note we are totally opposed to the sale of the parkland at Arbourwood for the following reasons:
We were promised parks when we made our decision to purchase.
The funds have already been included in our purchase price,
therefore requiring a rebate if parks are sold.
Our children need a safe place to play, Community needs a place to be a community.
We are tired of the construction mess.
Parks are more important than more revenue.

Dear Ms. Pennycook:
Re: Blocks 102/103, Arbourwood Estates
This letter is further to our letter of April 11, 2006 wherein we expressed our views
concerning the proposal to sell the properties known as Block 102 and 103 in
Arbourwood Estates. I had the opportunity to attend the Town Council meeting held on
April 26th where the issue was discussed at some length.
Clearly, as resident of Arbourwood, we do not want to see a division in our
neighbourhood created by the sale of these lots. I truly believe that the residents of the
subdivision wish to see these lands put to their best use, with the interests of all parties
addressed. By listening to comments expressed at the meeting on April 26th, it is clear
that there are a number ofresidents who wish to see the "Basswood Park", also known as
Block 101, developed as a playground for children with playground equipment; and a
number of residents who wish to have manicured green space, perhaps in the "Red Oak"
park area (currently Blocks 102 and 103). However, in order to achieve both of these
goals, there are a number of financial hurdles to overcome. That is where my concern
lies.
1 have had the opportunity to live in Oro-Medonte for eight years, formerly as a resident
of Harbourwood in Oro Station. That neighbourhood, which was built approximately 18
years ago, contains a similar number of homes to that of Arbourwood. There is a also a
designated green space in the center of Harbourwood bordered by Shells well Blvd.,
Coventry Court and E1vyn Crescent. That green space has never been finished to the
extent that a resident would expect. It is my understanding that it took several years
before the land in the green space was even usable due to building debris and leftover
mounds of fill used in the building process, similar to the current state of Blocks 102 and
103. As of eight years ago it had grass and trees, but nothing more, and was often
Page 2 of2
\
,
extremely overgrown in appearance. You may recall that the grass was 'trimmed' with a
scythe. It has only been in the last five years or so that the grass is regularly mowed in
the summer time. The residents of the neighbourhood undertook to plant and annually
maintain gardens in the green space in order to enhance its beauty. I have added these
comments concerning the Harbourwood park not as a criticism of the Township, but
rather to explain the basis for my concerns.
While we would all love to have groomed parklands, I am concerned that the designated
green spaces here in Arbourwood will suffer a similar fate to those in Harbourwood, in
that it will take a number of years before the land is usable, or even groomed in
appearance. I am aware that the property tax base of a primarily rural township such as
that of Oro-Medonte is not nearly as great as that of an urban area simply due to the lack
of commercial and residential ratepayers and the lower population density. As a result,
there are budgetary constraints on the Township that residents may not be aware of.
Having lived here for a while now, I have accepted that fact - along with all of the
wonderful aspects of rural living. I believe that it is na"ive to think that the green spaces
in Arbourwood will become the beautiful parklands that many are envisioning without
additional funding from an alternative source. I do not want to 'take away' anyone's park
or green space to the benefit of another. I would love to see both spaces in Arbourwood
developed to their fullest potential to enhance the beauty of our neighbourhood.
However, there is no perfect answer.
I would be interested in a full disclosure from the Township as to what funds are
presently available and designated for the development of the green spaces in
Arbourwood. In addition, I would like the Township to disclose whether the developer or
any of the builders who have built in the neighbourhood have come forward to offer
financial or other assistance with the development of these parks. None of the latter
parties are under any obligation to do so, however, it should be disclosed to the residents
if they have made such an offer as a measure of goodwill. The residents would then be in
a more informed position on which to base their decision regarding the sale of any lands.
The development and maintenance costs of the parklands can be easily estimated, and are
likely in excess of most residents' expectations. If there are not sufficient funds available
from these sources, then I am concerned that the Arbourwood parks will be similar to
those offered in Harbourwood, which in the interim, will be unusable and will detract
from the neighbourhood.
As a last alternative, I remain in favour of offering for sale at least one building lot to any
and all interested parties (subject to current building covenants), which in my estimation
is about one-quarter of the space available in Blocks 102 and 103, leaving three-quarters
of that area as green space. However, the full proceeds from the sale should be put back
into the Arbourwood subdivision to develop and maintain the two parks. Our original
letter also supported a sale of some of the land, based on our prior experience in
Harbourwood. We would, however, like a full disclosure from the Township with
respect to the monies outlined above in order to determine whether this is a necessary
measure.
Respectfully yours,
Lynne, Adrian, Meghan, and Mikayla Zulian

May 10,2006
Dear Mayor and Council,
This letter relates to the sale of Parkland in the Arbourwood Subdivision, specifically Blocks 102 and 103.
When I gave my deputation on April 26, 2006 I told you why the majority of residence want to keep the green
spaces in this area. This letter demonstrates that your adopted policy is in harmony with our wishes.
The following quotes are from the Parkland Secondary Study Dated May 2002.
Phase 3 -Analysis
Overview Page 3 States:
"There are some areas where parkland may have to be acquired to meet the needs of the community, however
most areas have properties that are undeveloped and decisions should be made regarding those lands first.
Likewise the disposal of any parkland should not take place until decisions regarding natural and open spaces are
addressed. Currently two of the three designated growth areas have been identified for Secondary Studies and
therefore should wait for outcomes before parkland decisions are made."
Conclusions; Page 10
"
Preservation and protection meant "holding onto" the parkland the Township already has and also
guarding the land and the environment to ensure they remain safe and intact for future generation
The philosophy of preserving and protection is a priority with the residents and municipal governments in
the area"
Naturalization: Page 18
"
As with preservation and protection of parkland and the environment, residents tend to favour the
trend toward naturalizes parkland
Surrounding municipalities are implementing naturalization programs"
Conclusions:
" Residents would like to see an increase of open space
Open space can be grassy fields ( without facilities), swamp land, or the Copeland Forest according to
public input"
The following is your vote on the study.

Good afternoon,
Just a quick e-mail to let you know how much we enjoy living in Arbourwood Estates. We
were one of the first families to move into this subdivision (3 years ago in June - Lot
42, 28 Red Oak Cres.). It has come to our attention that Blocks 102 & 103 may come up for
sale to build more homes. We believe this would be quite unfortunate. For three years we
have been looking forward to the two parks promised when we purchased our lot. We have
three children and frequently walk/ride bikes, etc. around our subdivision. The two parks
we had envisioned will add beauty and enjoyment for all of Arbourwood's residents and
anyone else who may be out and about just enjoying nature. Whether these parks remain
purley grass and trees or become more playground, tennis courts, gardens or whatever
remains to be seen, but we would be greatly dissappointed if one of these promised parks
was now taken from us.
Please seriously consider leaving Blocks 102 & 103 as parkland.
Thank you,
The Thompson Family

Attention
Marilyn pennycook
Oro
We totally opposed to the sale of lots 102 - 103 . We have lived in these area for the last 3 years and one of the main
reasons we moved here was to escape the congested cities we lived before moving to this fantastic village of Oro. We
would like to implore the township of Oro Medonte to allowed lot 102/103 to remain as initially proposed as green spaces,
As you probably know this green spaces are a very small amount of land left for the habitat that existed here. I do
remember 3 years ago when the subdivision started, in my daily walks I use to see many different species of birds, which
are no longer around.
We will like to mention the financial contribution we have made when we purchased the house and the high taxes we pay.
Kind regards,

Mr Chris Carter,Manger of Recreation,
Township of Oro-Medonte,
Further to Ms. Jennifer Zieleniewski, Chief Administrative Officer's letter of Apri14th,2006 and our
recent telephone discussion concerning the future development of Block 101 in the subject
subdivision we are the owners of Lot 69 (directly opposite Block 101) which we purchased because we
were assured by the developer that BlocklOl had been approved as a green area and would so remain.
We are admatedly opposed to this block being developed with Tennis courts as few if any residents of
our development would make use of this facility and our street would become a parking lot for non
residents who come to play Tennis. Furthermore those who do play would undoubedly want the courts
to be lit and this would disturb the quietness of the development.
A young children's playground for the Arbourwood neighbourhood children would be welcome on one
side of the park land.
We understand the residents continue to share the Tax burden of this property as a green area and to our
understanding our neighbours are prepared to continue to share same.
We would prefer to see the master plan which was approved several years respected and in that way
demonstrate to the residents of Oro-Medonte that they may continue to have confidence that they
have responable government in place and that the beauty of their chosen homesteads will not
be disrupted by aggressive developers one of whose interests is their personal accumulation of wealth.
Their are few developments in the area that enjoy the prestige of Arbourwood Estates and we firmly
believe and hope that same will not be destroyed. Conversely developments of this stature should be
promoted to attract young professionas and active, retired executives to make Oro-Medonte their home
of choice.
We would appreciate being kept informed of Council's deliberations and we would be prepared to
answer any
questions you may have.
Many thanks and best regards,
Douglas and Marcia Rector

Subject: Arbourwood Parklands
May 11 2006
Dear Mayor and Council,
This letter relates to the sale of Parkland in the Arbourwood Subdivision,
specifically Blocks 102 and 103.
I would like to state on behalf of my family that the blocks of land in Arbourwood
under discussion be left as natural parkland. This natural parkland will provide
current and future generations of your constituents with a place to enjoy the
environment of our beautiful area. This parkland should reflect the history of this
land planted with trees of the names of the streets within. Walnuts, Basswoods
and Red Oaks. As an environmentally concerned counsel and Township I urge you
to conceder this request.
Thank you
Bill Cairns

Please forward this message to Mayor Neil Craig and council members.
In addition to our first letter we are again asking for our parkland to remain parkland.
1. In 2002 the township commissioned a study re parkland.
The study cost $45,000.00 tax dollars and recommended Oro-Medonte keep all it's existing parkland and acquire as much
additional green space as possible. All members of council accepted this recommendation by their "Yea" vote.
What has changed? We, the residents want it. The parkland is there. Let us keep it.
2. 86% of residents signed a petition indicating their wish to keep this parkland. Council are our elected representives.
Please represent us and keep the parkland.
3. The agreement of purchase and sale clearly included a feature sheet and site plan showing two separate parks. We
paid for these parks in our purchase prices. We want the parks.
4. It is my understanding that when family and or finances are involved in council decision making process the councilor in
conflict should declare conflict of interest. Councilor Fountain declared her conflict on April 26. Why hasn't councilor
Marshal declared his conflict of interest?
Thankyou for your time.
Yours truly,

Subject: Arbourwood Subdivision Park
Dear Ms pennycook,
Please forward this message to Mayor Craig and members of council.
Once again I am contacting you to give an opinion on the above mentioned park.
In 2002 the township contracted a parkland study. This study cost $45,000.00. $45,000.00 tax dollars. The study
recommended the Township of Oro-Medonte retain all of its existing parkland and add more green space. All of the 2002
council members and Mayor Craig voted "yea" to those recommendations.
Retaining our park would be following the study recommendations and councils agreement to those recommendations.
Why change now?
Our community of Arbourwood subdivision has overwhelmingly endorsed keeping our parkland.(The petition with 86%
being in favour) As council members are
our elected representatives you should also endorse keeping our parkland.
It is my understanding that when finances and family are involved, any member of council should declare a conflict of
interest. Councilor Fountain declared her conflict on April 26 for these reasons. Why then has councilor Paul Marshal not
declared his conflict of interest?
Agreements of Purchase and Sale for Arbourwood subdivision included a feature sheet and site plan clearly showing two
separate parks. Very clear. Council has a copy of these documents.
In closing we ask you to honour our wishes. Let us keep our park.
Respectfully yours,
Karla & John McKoen.

REPORT
Dept. Report No. TR2006-11 To: Council Prepared By: Paul Gravelle
Subject: ONE - The Public Department: Treasury
Sector Group of Funds
Council
C.ofW. Date: May 10, 2006
Motion # R.M. File #:
Date: RolI#:
II BACKGROUND:
~
Amendments made to the Municipal Act in 1992 allowed Ontario municipalities to participate in joint
municipal investment funds. These amendments permitted municipalities to pool their investments
and gain the opportunity to earn higher returns in larger, diversified, high-quality investment funds.
Both Local Authority Services Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Association of Municipalities
of Ontario) and the CHUMS Financing Corporation (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Municipal
Finance Officers' Association of Ontario) established investment pools in response to the 1992
amendments. In 1995, LAS and CHUMS combined their efforts to create a professionally-managed
investment program known as ONE - The Public Sector Group of Funds, comprised of a Money
Market Fund and a Bond Fund.
Asset levels in the ONE Funds have ranged between $300 million and $600 million since the creation
of the program. The Funds have never experienced either a default or a negative rate of return, and
have performed as well as or better than comparable permitted investments in Ontario municipalities.
The ONE Money Market Fund is governed by a formal investment policy which requires that the
money be invested in only those investments allowed under the Municipal Act, with further
requirements that the investments be in Canadian dollars. The ONE Bond Fund has a comparable
formal investment policy, requiring that money be invested only in those investments permitted under
the Municipal Act, with further requirements for diversification among highly rated securities.
The ONE Funds' investment policies are monitored by the Advisory Committee of ONE- The Public
Sector Group of Funds, which is comprised primarily of senior public sector officials appointed by the
board of directors of CHUMS and LAS.
\d
II ANALYSIS:
II
The Township's agreement with the bank stipulates that interest will be paid on funds on deposit at
prime - 1.84%. This rate has usually approximated or exceeded the rate available on short term
investments. However, there is also a stipulation in the banking agreement that interest will be paid
on funds up to $10,000,000 only.
With the timing of Provincial funding and the increasing level of the Township's reserves, cash
balances are periodically exceeding the $10,000,000 threshold.
We believe the ONE Money Market Fund will provide the municipality with the ability to invest excess
funds so that an acceptable rate of return is earned thereon while providing the level of liquidity
required by the municipality.
There is no requirement to invest for a specified period of time in the ONE Funds; money can be
invested or withdrawn at any time. If instructions are given by 10:00 a.m. on any banking day, the
funds are deposited or transferred back to the municipality on the same day. The minimum
transaction amount is $5,000.
~ RECOMMENDATION(S):
II
1. THAT Report No. TR2006-11 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the Treasurer is hereby authorized to take the necessary action to have the municipality
enroll in ONE - The Public Sector Group of Funds.

II BACKGROUND:
~
At its meeting of June 23, 2004, Council received Report ADM 2004-025 with respect to a Job
Creation Partnership (JCP) program through Human Resources and Skills Development Canada
(HRSDC).
The guiding principles of a JCP are the creation of employment opportunities by linking the needs of
unemployed workers with local community development.
Staff prepared a proposal focused on various Records Management activities, such as: complete
inventory of all physical files held by the Corporation; reorganization of the on-site Archive space, the
2 storage vaults; and verification, comparison and data entry of information in the Township's
Records Management software. Council approved the submission of this JCP proposal to HRSDC.
In April 2005, the Township of Oro-Medonte was successful in its bid to enter into a JCP Agreement
with HRSDC for a period of 39 weeks to undertake various Records Management activities. In the
fall of 2005 staff realized that the timeframes for completion of the activities identified in the JCP
Agreement had been underestimated. Accordingly, staff approached HRSDC and requested an
amendment to the JCP Agreement that would extend the Agreement to allowable maximum of 52
weeks. Staff was successful in obtaining the requested extension.
Through the JCP Agreement, the Township was able to provide training in records management and
work experience in municipal government to the JCP participant. The Township was able to provide
this training and experience without additional staffing costs due to the fact that HRSDC paid the JCP
participant's wages during the Agreement. The JCP Agreement concluded on April 28, 2006.
I de ~ d..
.11 ANALYSIS:
~
The following is a summary of the activities conducted during the duration of the JCP Agreement.
Activities
. Inventoried all records held within all the Township's departments
. Inventoried all records held within the main storage vault, the rear storage vault and the
onsite Archives in the basement
. Re-organized all records in the onsite Archives to be boxed by destruction date
. Inventoried all rolled maps and drawings held in the onsite Archives
. Provided assistance to the Records Management Assistant, with respect to the files for
Fire & Emergency Services
. Started to inventory all "Property Files", however there was insufficient time during the
agreement for this to be completed
Inventorying the records required that each physical file was reviewed and compared against the
information contained in the Records Management system and the Records Management system
was updated accordingly. In the instances where a physical file existed but was not captured in the
Records Management system, data entry was performed to have the file included.
The statistics through the duration of the JCP Agreement are as follows:
. a total of 6,538 files were added to the Records Management system, bringing the overall file
count to 26,153 as of April 28, 2006, which includes approximately 3,100 files that have been
destroyed in accordance with the Township's Records Retention By-law
. a total of 17,659 files were physically reviewed, consisting of:
o 3,794 active files (contained within the departments and vault)
o 13,074 inactive files (contained within the onsite Archive space)
o 791 files which were destroyed in the annual destruction
. approximately 4,000 large format drawings and maps were individually indexed
. Files with a permanent retention period were relocated into 355 boxes
. Files with defined retention periods were relocated into 120 boxes
. 2,500 large format drawings and maps were scanned for LaserFiche and boxed into 55 boxes
As a result of entering into the JCP Agreement with HRSDC, the Township now has a
comprehensive, up-to-date inventory of its records holdings. This will allow staff to respond to
requests for information in a more time efficient and cost effective manner.

TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE
REPORT
II BACKGROUND:
II
Council received a request in November of 2005 regarding the possible purchase of Blocks 102 and
103 in the Arbourwood Estates subdivision. The direction to staff at that time was to prepare a report
to be brought back to Council for consideration.
The request to purchase was circulated to the Township Department Heads who visited the site and
provided comments on the requested purchase. Confidential Report No. ADM2006-06 was
presented to Council on February 8, 2006 reiterating the Department Heads' comments and
providing Council with information with respect to the original acquisition of the Blocks by the
Township. The report also recommended that "Before proceeding further, the residents in the area
of Blocks 102 and 103 be canvassed to solicit their input with respect to the sale of lands". Council
ratified the staff recommendation.
The Township sent a letter dated April 4, 2006 to all residents of Arbourwood requesting comments
with respect to the disposition of Blocks 102 and 103. (Attachment #1 a) The correspondence
advised that, should the sale proceed, a portion of the proceeds would be dedicated to the
development of a neighbourhood park on Block 101 to serve the immediate subdivision. Written
comments were to be received at the Council meeting of April 26, 2006 and the staff
recommendation on the disposition was expected to be brought forward on May 3, 2006.
Resident comments, verbal and written, were received by Council in response to this letter on April
26, 2006. A petition from residents was also formally received. Given the number of responses and
to afford all residents an opportunity to submit their views on the subject, Council extended the
deadline for receipt of comments until May 10, 2006. Numerous additional comments from residents
have been received and their views taken into consideration in the formulation of this report.
\
~
II ANALYSIS:
Draft plan approval for the Arbourwood Estates subdivision occurred in 1992. Mr. Raymond (Bud)
Arbour was the initial developer. Frank Reiss, President, Arbourwood Estates Ltd, is the current
developer. The plan of subdivision was registered on August 10, 2001. Block 101 measures
approximately 1.5 ha or 3.7 acres and Block 103 measures approximately .73 ha or 1.8 acres, both
blocks were dedicated to the Township as part of the approval for the plan of subdivision. Block 102
was originally dedicated to the Township for the purpose of a detention pond. Blocks 101, 102 and
103 are zoned open space which permit uses such as; conservation, forestry, private and public
parks.
Section 268 of the Municipal Act outlines the regulatory authority for a municipality to sell land.
Under this section, a municipality shall pass a by-law establishing procedures governing the sale of
land which includes provisions regarding the giving of notice to the public. By-law 2003-125 (as
amended by By-law 2004-138) which governs the sale of municipal property as required under
Section 268 of the Municipal Act was enacted by Council on November 26, 2003.
With respect to planning approval, Part VI (Section 50) of the Planning Act is the legislation
governing the subdivision of land. Section 51.1 outlines the approval authority's imposition of
parkland conditions for acquisition of land or payment of cash-in-lieu thereof for park purposes or
other public recreational purposes. Conveyance of land or payment of money under this section is
regulated under Section 42 of the Planning Act. This section outlines the specific details regarding
how the payment is calculated, the requirements of Official Plan policy to deal with payment in-lieu,
and the location of land subject to any such conveyance. This section also requires under
subsection (15) that all monies received shall be paid into a special account and spent only for
parkland acquisition purposes, including operational costs such as repair of buildings and the
acquisition of machinery for park or other public recreational purposes.
The received correspondence was reviewed in an effort to analyze the public's comments and
enquiries. Attached for Council's review is a chart providing a list of the residents that have
forwarded their comments for Council's consideration. (Attachment #2) An estimated 40 owners
opposed the sale of Blocks 1 02 and 1 03 and an estimated 5 owners supported the sale. Three
deputations were received on April 26, 2006. The outcome is as follows; 1 deputation opposed the
sale, 1 deputation supported the proposed sale of one block or both blocks to provide funding of 100
percent to develop a playground/park on Block 101 and 1 deputation suggested a compromise of
selling 1 building lot on Red Oak Crescent, to develop Block 101 on Basswood as a park, leaving the
remaining lands of Blocks 102 and 103 located on Red Oak as green space. Also a petition
containing 109 names was presented to Council opposing the sale.
Few public comments were received either in support of or in opposition to the development of a
neigbourhood park on Block 101. The public input with respect to the development of Block 101 will
be provided to the Recreation Department for inclusion in their report to Council for consideration of a
neighbourhood park on Block 101.
- 2 -
Public inquiries included;
I:;)
1. To whom would the lots be sold? To whom the lots would be sold had not been determined.
Step one was to seek public comment from interested owners. The Township would follow the
established procedures governing the sale of land which include provisions regarding the giving
of notice to the public. By-law 2003-125 (as amended by By-law 2004-138) was passed by the
Township on November 26, 2003 and governs the sale of municipal property as required under
Section 268 of the Municipal Act. The Township would ensure that the building lots would be of
similar size to the existing development and that all restricted covenants with respect to size and
materials utilized in the construction of a new dwelling would be adhered to.
2. Did the Township receive a bribe? At their meeting of November 23, 2005, Council received
and referred to staff for a report a request for the Township to consider the possibility of selling
Blocks 102 and 103. It should be noted that the residents that approached the Township with
respect to the development of Block 101 never indicated to the Township a desire that the
Township should sell Blocks 102 and 103 to fund a neighbourhood park on Block 101. It is the
Township's understanding that the group commenced fundraising to meet the Township's policy
of 50/50 funding. The acquisition and the disposition of municipal lands along with existing
inventory is reviewed on an annual basis to ascertain opportunities, property feasibility and
mostly to identify the changing needs for the smaller and greater communities.
3. Will the Township divide the proceeds of the sales to individual homeowners in the plan
of subdivision? There are no provisions in the Planning Act to divide the proceeds emanating
from the sale of parkland to residents. Development charges are imposed under the
Development Charges Act to assist in recovering the cost for growth in the municipality as it
affects the needs for improved infrastructure throughout the Township ie; Fire Department,
Police, Roads, Hospitals etc.
4. Will the walkway to the Oro-Medonte Rail Trail be secured? Yes, it has always been
Council's intention to ensure access to the Oro-Medonte Lake Country Rail Trail.
5. Who will be responsible for maintenance? The Township is responsible for maintenance on
municipally owned lands once assumed by the Township. In some instances the Township has
developed partnerships with individual associations, hall boards etc. to assist with the
maintenance. The Township follows the guidelines set forth by the "Canadian Standards
Association" Manual published in 2003, when conducting maintenance, inspection or installation
in respect to children's play spaces and equipment. Parks personnel have been trained and
are certified to inspect playground equipment.
6. Who placed the stakes on the lots? As a courtesy Councillor Marshall placed the stakes to
assist the public in identifying the subject lands.
7. Full disclosure of the fair market value of these lands, sale price and determination or
allocation of use of funds generated? All land sales must be enacted in open Council by By-
law, declaring the sale price. The method in which the Township manages the funds from the
proceeds of the sale of parkland is outlined in the Planning Act. The proceeds must be
allocated for recreational purposes.

\
,
8. Has the park (Block 101) been designed? The conceptual design has not been determined.
In consultation with the public, Township staff will prepare a conceptual design for Council's
approval. Preliminary discussions have occurred with a group of interested homeowners from
the Arbourwood Subdivision interested in developing a neighbourhood park geared for toddlers
and young children. During the 2006 budget deliberations Council has approved an expenditure
of $30,000.00 in a 50/50 partnership, for the development of a park at Block 101. No
consideration has been given to the development of Blocks 102 and 103.
9. Is there any leverage to having the developers contribute to creating a park? The
developers have already met their obligations as outlined in the subdivision agreement.
Possibly they can be approached for financial assistance or service in kind.
10. Did other developers request extra payment for close proximity to greenspace? The
Township does not have this information.
11. Why was Block 101 deemed more appropriate for parkland development?
In consultation with the interested homeowners, it was deemed to be central to all residents in
the middle of the subdivision. Surroundings meet the O.P.P. requirements (ie: fence, open field,
visible to surrounding residents). Access to park is made easier from the existing paved
pathways. The lot size makes possible future park growth or the potential to phase in more
activities ie: pavilion/shelters. Block 101 is also not accessible by motorized vehicles. Safety
was also a consideration given the vicinity the park is to the Rail Trail. Other options with
respect to developing park facilities on Blocks 102 and 103 have not been considered.
12. What kind of maintenance is provided for green spaces? Maintenance levels would depend
on the subject land, the usage, the type of activity on the land and the location of the property.
Even a partnership could affect the maintenance. In some instances grass cutting is approved,
receptacles and garbage pickup are provided, parking, picnic tables, toilets etc. Staff assess
the level of maintenance taking these factors into consideration on a site specific basis.
13. What portion of development charges are for recreational purposes? Specific to that plan
of subdivision development charges generated for (109 permits) at an average of 17.25% for
the recreational portion of the development charge, for 100 lots where permits have been issued
3,833.44 X 100 lots X 17.25 = $ 66,126.84 and for (9 lots without permits issued) at 2006 rate
4,286.96 X9 lots X 17.25 = $6,655.50. Development charges are structured to take into account
a capital share for all of the recreation services being provided throughout the municipality ie. a
share for capital improvements to the Line 2 boat ramp, the Guthrie Arena and Community
Centre, etc
14. Chain link fence - who constructed it? The developer, as per approved engineering
drawings.
15. Does an empty field constitute a park? Yes. Council determines the intensity of development
from passive fields or trails to more intensive uses such as lighted ball diamonds or community
centres.
- 4 -
I';) -l)
Part of the analysis included a review of the five year capital budget, the Park Land Secondary Study,
the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and Township policies and practices to determine future
recreational needs for the immediate area as well as the greater community of Shanty Bay.
Geographically Arbourwood Estates is not central to the community of Shanty Bay. Township
policies support development for the major recreation facilities such as ball diamonds, soccer fields
and community centre more central to the community. The dedicated parkland in the registered plan
of subdivision is an area of 5.5 acres (Blocks 103 and 101). It has been determined that
development of a major recreation facility is not desirable for Arbourwood subdivision given its
proximity to the greater community of Shanty Bay.
One of the Township's practices with respect to land acquisition for recreational purposes is to
capitalize on opportunities to acquire lands abutting the Oro-Medonte Rail Trail where possible.
Given that the Township has secured a 3 metre walking path at the westerly limits of the existing
detention pond which joins the Oro-Medonte rail trail, it is therefore recommended that Block 103 be
retained for park purposes and that Council give favourable consideration to declaring Block 102
surplus. Further, Block 102 (dedicated detention pond) be sold as two building lots. It is also
recommended that the method of sale be by direct sale to ensure that the building lots would be of
similar size to the existing development and that all restricted covenants with respect to size and
materials utilized in the construction of a new dwelling would be adhered to. Further, it is
recommended that a 3 metre walking path at the westerly limits of Block 102 (dedicated detention
pond) be retained to provide access to the Oro-Medonte rail trail from Block 103.
In conclusion, it is suggested that the proceeds from the sale of Block 102 (dedicated detention
pond) be placed in the Recreation Reserve.
II RECOMMENDATION(S):
~
1. THAT Report No. ADM2006-033 be received and adopted.
2. THAT Block 103, Plan M-696 be retained for park purposes.
3. THAT Block 102, Plan M-696 be declared surplus and that Block 102 be sold as two building lots.
4. THAT the method of sale of Block 102, Plan M-696 be by direct sale.
5. THAT a 3 meter walking path at the westerly limits of Block 102 (dedicated detention pond) be
retained to provide access to the Oro-Medonte rail trail from Block 103.
6. THAT the proceeds from the sale of Block 102 (dedicated detention pond) be placed in the
Recreation Reserve.

To all landowners within the Arbourwood subdivision:
The purpose of this letter is to seek comments from interested owners with respect to
disposition of lands within the Arbourwood subdivision. Specifically, the Township is
looking at the feasibility of the sale of Blocks 102 and 103. A portion of the proceeds
would be dedicated to the development of a neighbourhood park on Block 101 to service
the immediate subdivision. Should Council approve the sale of Blocks 102 and 103, it is
anticipated that building lots of similar size to existing development would be created.
To assist you, a map depicting the location of Blocks 101, 102 and 103 has been
attached.
Council welcomes all comments relating to the disposition of Blocks 102 and 103.
Please forward your written comments to the attention of the Township Clerk, Marilyn
Pennycook by April 19, 2006. Council will formally receive your comments at their
meeting of April 26, 2006. A staff recommendation will be presented to Council for their
consideration at their meeting of May 3,d, 2006. To date no decision has been made
with respect to disposition of the subject lands.
For further clarification with respect to the disposition of Blocks 102 and 103 please
contact the undersigned, For information in regard to the future development of Block
101 please contact Chris Carter, Manager of Recreation and Community Services.
Yours truly,

TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE
REPORT
Dept. Report No. To: Prepared By:
RC 2006-05 Council Chris Carter
Subject: Department:
Awarding of the tender
for the Conceptual
Council Design for Sweetwater Recreation
Park
C.ofW. Date: May 11, 2006
Motion R.M. File #:
#
Date: Roll #:
II BACKGROUND:
~
At the Committee of the Whole of September 8, 2005, Council authorized that staff
tender for proposals to provide a conceptual design for Sweetwater Park.
As part of the process, the Manager of Recreation and Community Services held a site
meeting with the interested consultants on September 28, 2005 to answer questions
and provide clarification of the Township's expectations. Twenty-seven firms attended
the site meeting.
A total of eleven proposals were submitted by the closing date and the received quotes
ranged from $7,500 to a high of $35,000. On November 22, 2005 the proposals were
reviewed with the partners to solicit their comments with respect to awarding the
tender. A change in partnership caused delay in bringing this matter forward for
Councils consideration. The partnership was resolved in April of 2006. The firms with
the preferred proposals have been contacted to ensure that their bid prices continue to
be valid. The partners support staff's recommendation. The next step in the process
is to award the tender.
\
I
II ANALYSIS:
~
Staff analyzed the eleven proposals and short-listed the following firms which were
further evaluated in-detail:
Totten Sims Hubicki
Strasman Architects
Michael W. McKnight Architect
Barry Bryan Associates
$8,100
$7,500
$27,125
$12,900
It should be noted that the quotation submitted by Michael W. McKnight Architect
includes a cost of $5, 300.00 for a preliminary engineering design for grading and/or
servicing which the other quotations were not requested to include.
A conceptual park layout was requested at this time for the whole of the lands.
Detailed building designs and associated costs will be determined at a later phase of
the project.
The criteria established to evaluate the proposals were detail and quality of the plans,
the time allotted to facilitate and attend the public meetings, inclusion of allowance for
subsequent amendments to the conceptual designs, grading and/or servicing
considerations and inclusion of travel cost.
The Director of Building and Planning and the Road Superintendent assisted with the
analysis component.
The quote from Michael W. McKnight Architect, a firm based out of Barrie and Shanty
Bay, identified at an early stage grading and or servicing considerations, and allotted
expenditures for revisions to the conceptual design. The proposal afforded time for
public involvement and included travel cost; while other proposals quoted an hourly
rate for such disbursements. Based on the analysis, it is staff's recommendation that
the tender be awarded to Michael W. McKnight Architect. The individual components
of Michael W. McKnight Architect proposal are as follows:
Michael W. McKnight
JD Bell
Jones Consulting
$ 11,625
$ 10,200
.$ 5,300
.$ 27,125
Architectural (building)
Landscape Architecture
Preliminary Engineering (services/grading)
Total cost
- 2 -
It is further recommended that Michael W. McKnight Architect be advised that the
architectural component of $11 ,625.00 in their quotation for a 5,000 square foot
building be deferred until later in the process.
Note: Copies of all proposals are available for review in the Recreation Department.
It is anticipated that the public information sessions will be held in the later part of June
or the beginning of July.
It is therefore recommended that Council give favourable consideration to award the
tender for the Sweetwater Park conceptual design to Michael W. McKnight Architect.
II RECOMMENDATION(S):
II
1. THAT Report No. RC2006-05 be received and adopted;
2. THAT the proposal dated October 11, 2005 from Michael W. McKnight Architect be
awarded in the amount of $27,125.00
3. AND THAT the other firms be advised of Council's decision;
Respectfully submitted,

examples were discussed in terms of what constituted the day to day management of
the department versus the "Big Picture" projects. It was determined that policies
where required in some areas such as to measure the self-sustainability and
practicality of Municipally owned facilities. Current policies, goals and objectives that
would require the Recreational Technical Support Group's attention were identified.
Discussion included the Recreational Technical Support Group's role in making
recommendations to Council with respect to project management for the identified
goals.
Outlined are the identified objectives;
. Sweetwater Park
. Guthrie (development of newly acquired lands)
. Line 4 ( Park Development)

Staff indicated that $10,000 had been approved by Council during the 2006 budget
deliberations to develop a strategy or approach for the future development of the
lands.
(d) Line 4 (park development)
The Group received a working folder each containing an aerial map of the
proposed project. Staff indicated that $10,000 had been approved by Council
during the 2006 budget deliberations to commence development of a passive park
on the subject lands. It was agreed that subsequent background information would
be provided for inclusion to the file; such as survey material, background of public
meetings regarding the development of the subject property.
(e) General I Development of Parks I Municipally Owned Land
Staff suggested that the Group should be meeting more than once a month to
make recommendations to Council regarding developing a project management
approach for these capital projects. There was discussion regarding the Support
Group's role and the Township's expectations, and it was suggested that if the
Group felt the workload was too great that they would have the ability not to get
involved in the project or components of the project. It was made clear that these
capital projects would be managed by staff.
RTS060504-04
Moved by Mr. Hunter, seconded by Mr. Gregory
It is recommended to Council that Council give favourable consideration to
amending the Recreation Technical Support Group's mandate to include project

PART I: THE INTRODUCTION
(This is not an operative part of Official Plan Amendment No. 22)
1.0 BACKGROUND
The intent of this Amendment is to redesignate eight hectares of land from the Mineral Aggregate
Resources designation to the Agricultural designation and to include a specific permission in the
Official Plan to allow for the severance of the lands to be placed in the Agricultural designation
from the balance of the lands, which are designated Mineral Aggregate Resources.
2.0 LOCATION
This Amendment affects 8 hectares (ha) in part of the East Half of Lot 9, Concession 14 (Oro).
3.0 BASIS
The application for Official Plan Amendment was submitted by Helen Anderson in January 2005.
The purpose of the application is to redesignate a portion of the property from the Mineral
Aggregate Resource designation to the Agricultural designation. Once the lands are
redesignated, the landowner wishes to sever the portion designated Agricultural from the
remainder of the property, which is leased to Stewart Construction and is part of the Hillway Pit #
5 operation.
On the basis of comments received from the Ministry of Natural Resources it has been
determined that it would not be feasible to extract aggregate from the lands proposed to be
redesignated. As a result the redesignation of the lands to Agricultural is deemed to be
appropriate.
With respect to the request to permit the severance of the subject lands from the balance of the
property, it has been determined that such a severance is appropriate since:
. The extraction/washing use on the licensed portion of the property will continue for some
time inlo the future;
. The licensed portion of the lands and the subject lands are separated by the
TransCanada gas pipeline;
. The severance of the subject lands would have no impact on the ability of existing
mineral resource extraction uses in the area to continue operating or on new operations,
since the severed parcel is currently the site of a dwelling, and no new development is
proposed.
On the basis of the relatively unique circumstances, affecting the lands, the redesignation and
provision for severance represents good planning.
