Ms. Leigh updated the Committee that the delegation was being deferred
until the peer review was completed by Mr. Dale Toombs of the report
received from Bev Agar and Ron Mills regarding Agricultural Capability of
the subject lands and the surrounding area. It was anticipated that this

In Attendance: Joyce Long
Discussion occurred regarding the history of how the two dwellings were
constructed and the Official Plan policies which were in place at the time
of construction. The concerns of the Chief Building Official were re-
iterated and the applicant was advised that these were required to be
satisfied prior to formal consideration of a Zoning By-law Amendment.
Concern was expressed regarding approval of the zoning by-law prior
without ensuring that the consent application is submitted. It was
suggested that the by-law only be given two readings until the consent
application is given conditional approval or alternatively that the by-law not
proceed past the Public Meeting until the consent application is given a
decision by the Committee of Adjustment.

required by the July 14, 1998 recommendation. Mr. Bell indicated that the
majority of the reports were completed with the exception of the noise
report and all would be submitted to the Planner within the next two
weeks. Ms. Leigh explained that upon receipt of the reports a
determination will be made which reports require peer review by outside
consultants other than the Environmental report in accordance with

Proposal
The subject property is located in Concession 2, Pt of Lots 8,9, 10 and Lot D and
has access to Line 1 South. The property is a total of 367.25 acres in size. The
applicant's have submitted apre-consultation application and are proposing to
amend the Oro-Medonte Official Plan and Zoning By-law for an 18-hole golf
course, clubhouse, and related facilities.

compensation for additional maintenance that would be needed due to increased
traffic and possible road upgrades
Fire Chief - no objections to this application
Clerk -concerns were expressed in this area regarding traffic when ball
diamonds were located (illegally) in the area, condition of the road and increased
traffic may require special attention, who owns the residential properties in the
boundaries, are they associated with the golf course
Chief Building Official - as long as no conflict with existing golf course on
Concession 2 (Oro) no objections
• Planning Deaartment Comments
In reviewing this proposal the Provincial Policy Statement, Official Plan and
Zoning By-law were reviewed to determine the appropriateness of the
application.
Provincial Policy Statement (PPS)
"Rural Areas" are defined in the PPS as "lands in the rural area which are not
'prime agricultural areas'". "Prime Agricultural Areas" are defined as "an area
where prime agricultural land predominates and includes specialty crops andlor
Canada Land Inventory Classes 1,2 and 3".
The subject property as indicated on the attached portion of the Canada Land
Inventory map, is within Classes 1 to 3 (with topography and fertility constraints)
and is therefore considered a "Prime Agricultural Area" and not a "Rural Area" in
accordance with the Provincial Policy Statement. In fact the surrounding area is
within the same classification and would also be considered a Prime Agricultural
Area. Upon site inspection of this area it is evident that the area is
predominantly agricultural.
• Policy 1.1.2 of the PPS requires that sufficient land be provided in a Municipality
to promote employment opportunities and to accommodate growth for a period of
20 years. The Oro-Medonte Official Plan adopted in February 1997 does
designate sufficient lands for these purposes and further stipulates in its Vision
that this was the basislintent of the policies.
It is recognized that recreational development in the form of golf courses are
encouraged in the rural areas; however sufficient rural areas are designated in
the Official Plan to satisfy the policies of the PPS.
Section 2.1 Agricultural Policies indicates that prime agricultural areas are to be
protected for agriculture. As indicated above, the subject lands and surrounding
lands fall within the PPS definition of prime agricultural areas and as such must
be protected for agricultural use. The development of a golf course would not
maintain these policies or protect the property for agricultural use.
Section 2.3 Natural Heritage includes significant woodlands, which are found on
the subject property and are further identified as Environmental Protection Two
in the Oro-Medonte Official Plan. This Section indicates that development and
site alteration is permitted in significant woodlands only after it has been
demonstrated that there will be no negative impact on the natural features or
ecological functions for which the area is identified. This has not been satisfied
. to date by the applicant. This policy further states that nothing in Policy 2.3 is
intended to limit the ability of agricultural uses to continue. The proposed
2
• development of a golf course would not permit agricultural activities to continue
on the subject property.
Official Plan
The subject property is designated Agricultural with an Environmental Protection
Two Overlay for the significant woodland in the Oro-Medonte Official Plan. As
part of the Vision for the Official Plan, the agricultural areas of the Township are
considered to be an important component of what makes up the character of the
community. These areas are intended to be preserved for future agricultural use
so that they can continue to play a significant role in the local economy. The
fragmentation of agricultural areas or the introduction of incompatible uses in
these areas is strongly discouraged by the Official Plan.
The Vision further stipulates that enough land for commercial, industrial, and
residential uses has been identified to last until 2016 (20 years).
The application to permit an 18-hole golf course in an agricultural area would not
maintain the vision established in the Official Plan.
Section D2 -Agricultural
As indicated under the review of the Provincial Policy Statement, the subject
property is Classes 1 to 3 according to the Canada Land Inventory mapping and
the surrounding lands are also within these designations. This information is
utilized in Section C1.2 to determine that the designation of the subject property
and the surrounding lands as Agricultural in the Official Plan is appropriate.
The objectives of the Agricultural designation are to:
- maintain and preserve the agricultural resource base of the Township;
- to protect (ands suitable for agricultural production from development and
land uses unrelated to agriculture; and
- to preserve and promote the agricultural character of the Township and the
maintenance of the open countryside.
The proposed golf course would not maintain the objectives of the Agricultural
designation and would not preserve the land for agricultural production or protect
it from development unrelated to agriculture.
LJ
3
• Section F1 -Environmental Protection Two
The objective of this designation is to minimize the loss or fragmentation of
significant woodland features and the habitats and ecological functions they
provide; and to maintain and enhance the ecological integrity of the natural
heritage system.
The policies indicate that new development is discouraged by this Plan.
However, if new development is intended to occur an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) and Management Plan (MP) are required to 6e submitted for
review to the satisfaction of Council. No information has been submitted to date
by the applicants to determine whether the proposed golf course would have a
negative impact on the natural heritage features and therefore compliance with
these policies has not been satisfied.
Section J3- Amendments to the Plan
When the Official Plan was adopted by Council and the Province it was
determined that sufficient lands were designated for residential, commercial, and
industrial uses for the next 20 years. This section stipulates that this requirement
has been satisfied and further indicates that the lands identified as agricultural or
• rural will not change in the Official Plan.
On the basis that sufficient lands are designated for the next 20 years, no site-
specific amendments will be considered by Council for a period of 5 years. The
Official Plan is only intended to be amended if it is determined that an issue has
arisen which was not addressed by the Official Plan and which needs to be
considered comprehensively or alternatively that a site specific proposal needs
to be addressed in a comprehensive manner.
The proposal for an amendment to the Official Plan from Agricultural to Rural for
the proposed golf course would not satisfy this section as there is no
comprehensive issue which is required to be addressed.
Zoning By-law
The subject property is currently zoned Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) in By-law 97-
95, as amended. The current zoning maintains the intent of the Agricultural
designation in the Official Plan and is considered appropriate for the subject
property. The Zoning By-law Amendment to a Private Recreational (PR) zone is
not appropriate without the Official Plan Amendment being considered favorably
initially.
LJ

• Summary
The proposed application for an amendment to the Official Plan and Zoning By-
law to permit an 18-hole golf course does not comply with the Provincial Policy
Statement, Official Plan or the Zoning By-law and should not proceed to a
formal Development Application.
The application does not maintain the intent or principles for development of this
area in the Official Plan.
Lands within the Rural designation do permit golf courses subject to a rezoning
and satisfaction of a number of criteria and this is the appropriate designation for
a new golf course. Sufficient lands are designated Rural in other areas of the
Township and the applicants should be encouraged to look for lands within this
designation.
Recommendation
That Pre-Consultation Application P-83/99 not proceed to a formal Development
Application.
LJ
Mav 13. 1999 Comments
At the March 1999 meeting this application was deferred to determine if in fact
the parcel was separate. Copies of the severance deeds have been provided to
the Township to confirm the separate lot.
Agar and Associates have provided an agricultural assessment for the subject
property with a supplementary report from Millsptan on the surrounding Lands.
These have been provided to Toombs Consulting for a peer review which was
expected to take 2-3 weeks and would be available for the June 15~' meeting.
This application should be deferred until the peer review can be provided to the
Committee.
June 9. 1999 Comments
The peer review by Toombs Consulting has been completed and is attached for
the Committee's review. Mr. Toombs reviewed both the work of Agar and
Associates on the subject property and MiIIsPlan on the surrounding lands.
There is some question as to why the initial review was not completed through
. Agar and Associates for both the subject property and the surrounding lands
5
• which was discussed at the initial Planning Advisory Committee meeting as
being required.
Mr. Toombs report indicates that the designation of both the subject property and
the surrounding lands as Agricultural in the Oro-Medonte Official Plan is
appropriate and raises additional issues if the golf course were to proceed, in
relation to the Minimum Distance Separation calculations.
Based on Mr. Toombs review, the analysis and recommendation above (March
11, 1999) are still considered appropriate and the application should be denied.

Pac~E e2
Toombs Consulting has bees retained by the Township of Oro-Medonte to provide a pcer review
of the Agricultural Capability std Impact Study prepared by Agar & Associates and of the Area
Review prepared by MtllsPlan Consulting Services. Both reports are in support of a proposed
golf cotuse on a 175 acre pivperty located at Part Lots 10 and D, Concession 2 former Township
of Oro.
The following materials were used for the review of the reports:
1989 aitphotos

Canada Land Invcruory mapping at a scale of I: 50,000,
Schedule `A' of the Official Plant

The following ate comments aad opations regarding each report
AGAR & ASSOCIATES STUDY
Thin report details the soils on site and the potential impacts on abttttutg agicultutal uses.
There; is general agreement with the findings of the detailed soil capability study. It is
noted that the 3 acre lot severed from the subject lands appears to be incorrectly located.
Asaeasmrnt mapping and airphoto indicate the lot is situated is the north west comer of
Lot 10, not farther south as illustrated on the map. The lot would be in the arcs mapped
as Class Swi. The result is that Class 1-3 totals 88.5 acres and Class 4-1 >s 87.3 acres.
The poorest soils are concentrated on the north portion of the site. 'These lands are wet
and not suitable for farming.
The south portion of the site, south of the water course, is part of a larger agiculnual
area. Half of the property or 88 acres is Class 1-3; 76 acres has been ct+opped. With this
split of good to poorer soils and the area of cIcarcd farmed land, the arcs review becomes
very important
• In regard to surrounding Iand uses, we have several comments.

Lot 10, Concossion 1
It is our opinion the barn that was used for dairy cattle should not be exempted $otrr
application of the MI,~S distances. The 4 non-farm reridenccs cited are all far enough
from the former dairy barn to corttply with the NIDS requi:erneats. They are Type `A'
land uses as def-mod by the MDS tables. 'These residences regrrim a separation distance
of 160 meters from the bam and 112 meters from the tnatture storage. None of these
residences conflict with I\rIDS nor pose arty restrictions to the use of the barn in a similar
manner. The golf course is a Type `B' land use and, as noted in the report, does require
soparation diataacea of 380 metes from the barn and 326 meters from a manure storage.
Permitting the golf course will conflict with MISS tequirernents of this barn. This aa'c
will intrude 258 meters into the subject laztds and exclude appmxlrrately 24 acres.
Lot 9 Concession 2
The report reforences a large bank barn to the south that is actively farmed. At dte time
of the site visit, Mr. Don Hannien indicated that an engineering repoR was forthcoming to
indicate that the barn was not capable of housing Gveatock. If this tepoR is unavailable,
this barn would require an IvII~S distance of 300 motere. 'Ittia distance will reach Zt)D
meters into the subject parcel
Land to the east
• Our observation of the lands to the east is that they are priatarily in active agricultsue
gtvwing either row crape or forages. The only wooded areas are the fence rows and ono
minor woodlot in Lots, Range 2. Along the second Line, there are a number of largo
livestock fazats. There is a dairy farm with a liquid manure system in Lot 22, Concession
3. The distance complies with Iv1DS. There i8 also a vacant bam that was used for beef
cattle in Lot 23, Cone~asion 3. Iv1DS requires 300 meters separation. The actual distance
is 320 meters to the north east corner of the subject site.

MILLSPLAN CONSULTING SERVICES REPORT

from Agriculture to Rural
The trapping attached to the report was analyzed. The Rural Area delineated on the
sketch is a representation of the wooded area 1a our opinion, this suggested Rural and
the remaining lands that would be Agriculture area do not meet the pazametera of
identifying agricultural azeas for official plan purposes.
Such an area review would be based on the following parameters.
The agricultural designation should identify large contiguous azeas of farmland where
• prime ap~icultural soils predominate. This will be the prime agticuhrual area of the

municipality. The purpose is to identify areas whets agricultural soils will be available
on a long-term basis and agriculture can continue with a mitrimum of conflict from non-
agricultural uses.
Prime agrieulttaai areas are comprised of soils that are Clara 1 to 3 agricultural soils as
identified by Canada Land Inventory ntapptng at a scab of 1 : SO,000_ Soils with as
agricultural rating of Clare 1 to 3, a sail complex where Class 1 to 3 soils predominate or
specialty crop soils are considered for the agricultural designation
Prune agricultural areas have prime soils where agriculture or agriculturally related uses
predominate.
Within this prime agricultural azea, there may be pockets of lower quality agricultural
soils as identifiied on the Canada Land Inventory mapping. These Pockets are included
within the prime ag~ticultural designation as part of the principle of creating large
contiguous areas. Using the same principle, there will probably be small pockets of Clara
1 to 3 agricultural soils that are within the Rural designation Again, those pockets are
excluded from the primc agricultural designation as part of the principle of identifyittg
only lazgc contiguous agricultural areas.
• Prime Agricultural Area identified should generally be greattr than 250 hectares. Areas
considered to be identified Rural should also be generally larger than 250 hectares.
The boundary is beat if it follows a feature that is easily identifiable by all. Natural
Physical features such as significant watercourses, environmental or wetland areas are
ideal Man made physical features such as roads or railways are also very suitable.
The trapping should avid; if at afl possible, a line that meanders across the middle of a
property or even a concession Thin will only lead to confusion if the precise location
becomes an issue.
A high degree of fragmentation is indicative of a larger number of non-farm uses and is
loss desirable of maintaining any agricultvral use. A low degree of fragmentation is
representative of largo farm parcel sins which assist in maintaining the flembility to
accommodate a wide variety of agricultural uses.
A high degree of agricultural ]and within the unit provides an indication of the unib
ability to sustain farm operations. Comeraeiy, an area that has a Iower amount of land is
agriculture indicates rho lands are leas attractive for agticutturc. Lands that have been
used for apiculture in the past may be considered to be in agricultural use.

The 1994 asaeasmetrt mapping was reviewed. In this area, the original 100 acre lots or

midential lot removed but the average aiu has remained large. The lands adjacent to
Highway 11 have ban iiagrnentcd with a tnrmber of hig~iway commercial uses, but even
here, the non-developed laztds are still uaod for agricultural pur'poses•
The total study area is approximately 2700 acres. 'There are 76 parcels within this area.
Parcels of SO acres and larger encompass 2400 acres o[ 85% of the area. Thin few
. number of parcels indicates a low amouat of fiagrttentation, which >, a very Positive
factor for agricultursl use.
Land Ia Agricultural Use
There arc a number of highway commercial uses that front on Highway 11. There are
also 15 rural residential lots scattered throughout the at+ca. The remaining land uses art

acres and 25 acres used for hig3rway commercial purposes. 'The remainder in is
agricultural use.
Size
The existing agrictthurat designation mceta the parameter of delineating large contiguous

Dear Andrea:
Subject: HanninentDodson proposed Golf Gonrse
Thank you for taking the time on Monday to meet with us briefly
. regarding the above noted. I confirm that Ms. Agar's report was
delivered to you at that time.
As promised, I have prepared additional information on the
surrounding area, which demonstrates that the subject lands are,
in fact, a part of a larger continuum of rural, non-farm lands and
land uses, as shown on the attached compilation OBM base map.
This information was compiled using 1971, 1978, and 1989 aerial
photography, OBM topographic mapping, Agricultural Land capability
classification maps as well as a windshield reconnaissance survey
of the area. I have not, however, conducted the kind of
comprehensive on-site field testing on these adjacent lands which
Bev Agar has carried out for the subject lands. Consequently, this
information is somewhat more subjective, but I have erred on the
side of extreme caution in making the determination of what is
"rural", and what is not.
The determination of "rural" as opposed to "agricultural" was
based on the following parametres:
1. Soil classification and type/severity of limitations
2. Pasttpresent agricultural use, or lack of use.
3. The presence of forest cover or successional growth
4. The length and steepness of slopes
5. The presence of wet conditions, wetlands and proximity
• to watercourses
6. The size and configuration of individual land parcels
7. Established non-farm land uses/structures
• I have concluded that the area of some 150 ha. shown in cross
hatching on the attached map is, without a doubt, an area which is
predominately non-farm, rural land. I have also identified three
other adjacent areas which have similar characteristics and a
combination of the above noted features which would appear to also
indicate that they are also predominantly "rural" in nature, as
follows:
North - Gasoline alley area to Shanty Bay Golf Course
West - Willow Creek to City of Barrie Limits
South - Swamplands and Ridges
Note that all of these areas are separated by very narrow bands of
marginal agricultural lands. They are, as a result, loosely
interconnected, at Highway 11 to the north, and along Willow Creek
to the west and south-east. To the north, the commercial strip
provided the separation, which to the west and south east, the
intervening lands are pasturelands. I have shown the
interconnections in dashed lines.
I have not taken the time to delineate these other areas in their
entirety, but have shown only the limits of these similar areas
• adjacent to the subject lands and "rural" area. Obviously, we
would not propose to include all of these other areas within our
Official Plan amendment to redesignate the area of which the
subject lands are an integral part, to "Rural". However, we would
be supportive if the Township wished to deal with these other
areas also.
The presence of at least four such areas in
Township does, however, underscore the need
appropriateness of the "Agricultural" desig
Plan for this corner of Oro-Medonte, and to
which will further refine the designations,
actual site characteristics and land uses.
this portion of the
to further e$amine the
Zation in the Official
consider amendments
in recognition of
We hope that you and Planning Committee will agree that this
information, and the more detailed and comprehensive site
investigations carried out by Ms. Agar on the subject lands are
sufficient to warrant consideration of an application for an
amendment to the Official Plan, and that the Committee will see
fit to invite same to be submitted for your further consideration.
Obviously, we will want to discuss what additional and other
supporting information the Township will want to see in order that
the application can be deemed to be complete (ie. Environmental
impact study, traffic analysis, etc.).
• I have also plotted the 1.0 Iffn. buffer adjacent to the City of
Barrie on this map, for your information. As you can see, the
subject lands are well beyond this buffer area.
• I confirm that we will be scheduled to meet again with Planning
Committee on May 17th provided, of course, that the review of this
information has been completed. I will await confirmation from
you. In the meantime, if you have any concerns comments or
questions please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
I trust that this is appropriate, and remain.
Your s~very

Agricultural Capability and Impact Study Page 1
Part Lots 9 and 10, Concession 2

Township of Oro-Medonte
1.0 Proposal
The proposal is to develop a 175 acre property for an 18 hole golf course. The property is
currently zoned and designated for agricultural purposes. To allow forthe proposed development,
the proponents are required to address the impact of the proposed development on the
agricultural capability of the subject property and surrounding lands. This study has been
prepared to address these issues.
2.0 Subject Property
As noted above, the subject property is an approximately 175 acre parcel located to the south of
the Highway 11 corridor in the area known as "Gasoline Alley". The property contains some
agricultural lands as well as wooded and wetland areas. A creek passes through the property.
Using an electronic planimeter, there appears to be 76 acres on the subject property which have
been cropped.
The subject property is shown on the Canada Land Inventory at a scale of 1:50,000 as containing
• a variety of soil types predominated by two soil units containing Classes 1, 2, 3 and 4 with fertility
and topographical limitations. A detailed analysis was completed at a scale of 1:10,000 to more
accurately determine the soil capabilities of the property. To complete this study, aerial
photography (1:1,000 scale) and contour mapping (1:5,000 scale) were utilized to determine
preliminary soil boundaries. A site inspection was completed to confirm accuracy of soil
boundaries, slopes and other soil limitations including excessive moisture conditions. A hand
clinometer was used to measure slopes. Soif profiles were determined using a dutch auger.
The attached Detailed Soil Capability Map shows the distribution of soil types on the subject
property. The following chart sets of the soil types and amounts of each type. An electronic
planimeter was used to determine the acreage of each soil unit.
The subject property contains to main soil limitations. These are topography and excessive
wetnesslinundation. The slopes on the property are generally complex in nature with slopes less
than 50 m in length. There are slopes greater than 24 % in the area shown as CLI Class 5T. The
slopes in the CLI Class 4T area are between 9 and 16 percent. In each of the CLI Class 4T and
5T areas, there is evidence of both sheet and rill erosion. However, these limitations are not as
significant as the topographical limitations. The CLI Class 3T slopes are in the 5 to 9 percent
range and the CLI Class 2T soils are characterized by complex slopes of 2 to 5 percent.

The CLI Class 3W, Class SW, Class 5WI and Class 7W relate to area of the subject property were
there is poor and very poor drainage, flooding and standing water. These area are located along
the creek and in the wetland located on the northern portion of the property. None of the CLI
Class 3 soils are currently cultivatable.
Amounts of CLI Class Soils on the Subject Property
CLI Class Area acres High Capability Soils

4T 41.6 Low Capability Soils
5WI 30.4
5T 7,q 90.3 acres
5W 1.7
7W 9.2
Based on this analysis, there is more low capability soils on the subject property than high
capability soils. While some of the poor capability soils are currently cultivated, these areas show
evidence of both sheet and rill erosion. Continued cultivation will result in additional soil losses.
3.0 Surrounding Land Uses
The subject property is located approximately 1 mile south of the Highway 11 corridor, directly.
south of the area known as "Gasoline Alley". "Gasoline Alley" contains numerous non-farm uses
including various gas station, restaurant establishment and various commercial operations.

The Canada Land Inventory shows the soils in the area south of Highway 11 is comprise of CSI
Class 3 and 5 soils. The only active agricultural operation to the north of the subject property is
a small, approximately 25 acre horse farm. Based on a housing capacity of 5 horses and a dry
manure system, an MDS 1 requirement of 90 metres from the facility and 122 metres from the
manure storage is required. The actual distance is greater than 200 metres.
To the east of the subject property the (ands are generally wooded with limited agricultural
activities until east of Concession Road 2.
To the south of the subject property, an active agricultural operation. This subject property was
previously part of this operation. There is a large bank bam on this property to the south. It is in
very poorstructural condition and is only utilized for equipment storage. This structure is no longer
capable of safely housing livestock. There is an additional smaller bank bam on the property
which is also used for equipment storage however this structure is still reasonable capable of
housing livestock. The proponents have reached an agreement with the landownerto replace this
building with an equipment shed.
South of this property is a large wetland area.
• To the west of the subject property, there are two residences located at the comer of Concession
Road 1 and Gore Road. There is an additional new residence being constructed on a 3 acre lot
which was previously severed from the subject property. To the north of this corner is a set of
farm buildings and someforage fields. The associated traditional bank barn appearsto be unused
and is located greater than 300 metres from the subject property.
To the south of these residences, there is a set of farm buildings. While the barn appearsto have
housed dairy cattle in the past, it now appears to be vacant. The following assumptions have
been used to calculate the Minimum Distance Separation 1 requirement.
• Dairy cattle were housed in this facility.
• The manure system was semi-solid.
• 150 animals could be supported by the land base.
Based on these assumptions, an MDS 1 of 300 metres from the facility and 326 metres from the
manure storage is required. However under implementation guidelines #10 of the MDS 1, if there
are four or more non-farm uses within the calculated distance, MDS 1 does not apply. There are
at (east four non-farm residences within the 326 metre distance from the facility. These include
the two residence located at the corner of Concession Road 1 and Gore Road, the new residence
being built on a severed lot off the subject property and the Van Dam residence located to the
south of the facility.

Because of the configuration of roads in the area, the subject propefij is isolated from the major
agricultural areas ofOro-Medonte. There is the limited access to Highway 11, and unopened road
allowance to the east and south of the subject property. The majority of active agricultural land
are located to the east and north of the subject property.
4.0 Conclusion
It is our professional opinion that the proposed development of the subject property will not
adversely impact agriculture. The subject property contains more low capability agricultural soils
than high capability soils. Some of the (ands that are currently cultivated have severe
topographical limitations which have resulted in soil erosion.
The general area around the subject property is rural in nature and because of the nature of the
soil types and road configuration is isolated from the main agricultural areas of Oro-Medonte
Township. There are minimal active agricultural uses to the north of the subject property between
it and the Highway 11 corridor. There are no conflicts with the Minimum Distance Separation 1
requirements from existing bam to the east. An agreement has been reached with the land owner
to the south to replace the existing small bank bam.

Proaosal
The applicant has applied for a Temporary Use By-law to permit a Garden Suite
(Granny Flat) on the subject property for a period of not more than 10 years.
Official Plan -Agricultural
Zoning By-law -Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) Zone
Department Head Comments
No Concerns.
Simcoe County District Health Unit Approval Required.
Planning Department Comments
In 1995 the Planning Act was amended to permit a Garden Suite on a temporary
basis for a period not to exceed ten years. A Garden Suite was defined in the
Planning Act as "a one unit detached residential structure containing a bathroom
and kitchen facilities that is ancillary to an existing residential structure that is
designated to be portable."
This section of the Planning Act was to be implemented through the Temporary
Use provisions and through Council implementing a Temporary Use By-law. At
that time a criteria for considering any Temporary Use By-law for a Garden Suite
was established. A copy of this policy is attached for the Committee's reference.
The intent of this policy is to ensure that the unit is temporary and it is therefore
required to be connected to the existing servicing on the property and must
utilize the existing driveway. To further ensure the unit is temporary, an
agreement is to be registered on title, which requires the removal of the unit in
ten years. When this agreement is executed by Council, securities are also
required to be submitted to the Township to ensure removal of the unit. The
amount of security would be determined by Council and incorporated into the
agreement.
• The applicant has indicated they can comply with the existing policy and that the
unit will be connected to the existing services for the existing dwelling.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that Development Application P-92/99 proceed to a Public
Meeting in accordance with the Planning Act for a Temporary Use By-law for a
Garden Suite.
• POLICY ON GARDEN Sti TTES (GRANNY FLATSI
[n February of 1997 Council adopted a report of criteria required to permit a garden suite
on properties within the Township of Oro-Medonte. Prior to a garden suite being
constructed on any property a Temporary Use Zoning By-law Amendment is required to
be processed through the Planning Department, a copy of the appiication is attached for
completion.
A "Garden Suite' is defined in the Planning Act as the following:
^ a one unit detached residential structure containing a bathroom and kitchen facilities
that is ancillary to an existing residential structure and that is designed to be portable.
This structure is permitted for a period of not more than 10 years.
Further to this definition Council has adopted the following criteria in considering an
Temporary Use By-law application:
1. A mobile home or trailer (as defined below) is not considered a "Garden Suite";
?. The '`Garden Suite' must utilize all existing servicing available on the property
including, but not limited to: hydro, well, and septic system;
3. The existing driveway to the main residential dwelling is to be utilized for access and
• no new entrance will be permitted:
4. That the minimum Bross floor area is required to be 50 square metres 1538 square
feet) and that maximum gross floor area is 85 square metres (915 square feet)
provided that the `Garden Suite" is not more than 50% of the gross floor area of the
main residential dwelling;
5. The Simcoe County District Health Unit or the Ministry of Environment and Energy
must indicate, in writing, that they have no objection to the Temporary Use By-law;
6. That the applicant must enter into the appropriate agreement with the Municipality
which shall be registered on title to ensure removal of the "Garden Suite";
7. That a site plan be provided by the applicant and appended to the agreement noted
above;
8. The "Garden Suite" is not transferable to any subsequent owner(s) and the owner
applying for the Temporary Use By-law is responsible for removal of the ~~Garden
Suite' prior to sale of the property; and
9. That securities in an amount deemed appropriate by Council are deposited with the
Municipality for the term of the `Garden Suite".
• a MOBII.E HO'VLE is defined as: "a home. movable and suitable for permanent or
semi-permanent residence and not being less than 15 metres in length and 3 metres in
width, and containing suitable sanitary and food preparation faciiities within the
same. The unit remains a mobile home even though it may be jacked up and its
running gears removed. This definition does not include manufactured buildings
• for residential occupancy constructed in compliance with CAN/CSA-2240.2.1,
"Structural Requirements for Mobile Homes", CAN/CSA-2240.8.1. "Light Duty
• Windows", aad CANJCSA-2240.3.1, "Plumbing Requirements for Mobile
Homes" if the building is constructed in sections not wider than 4.88 metres (16
feet), or CSA A-277 "Procedure for Certification of Factory-Built
Houses".(ONTARIO BUILDING CODE SECTION 2.1.L4)
a TRAILER is defined as: "any vehicle so constructed that it is suitable for being
attached to a motor vehicle for the purposes of being drawn or propelled by the motor
vehicle, notwithstanding that such vehicle is jacked up, but not including any vehicle
unless it is used or intended for the short-tertn camping, living, steeping, or eating
accommodation of persons therein, and shall be deemed to include a tent'.

sepazate tenure in the context of the Code. Similarly,
e term suite is not normally applied in the context
f buildings such as schools and hospitals, since the
entire building is under a single tenure. A rented
room in a nursing home could be considered as a
suite if the room was under a separate tenure. A hos-
pital bedroom on the other hand is not considered to
be under a separate tenure, since the patient has
little control of that space, even though he pays the
hospital a per diem rate for the privilege of using the
hospital facilities, which include the sleeping areas.
For certain requirements in the Code the expression
"room or suite" is used (e.g. trnvel distance). This
means that the requirement applies within the
rooms of suites as well as to the suite itself and to
rooms that may be located outside the suite. In other
places the expression "suite, and morns not located
within a suite" is used (e. g. for the installation of
smoke and heat detectors). This means that the
requirement applies to individual suites as defined,
but not to each room within the suite. The rooms
"not within a suite" would include common laundry
rooms, common reaeaHonal rooms and service
rooms, that are not considered as tenant occupied
space.

nents designed and constructed outside the place of
manufacture (e.g. masonry chimneys, basement
stairs, foundations, etc.) must conform to the
requirements of the Code. The Code also applies to
the site installation of manufactured buildings in
terms of tie-down, spatial separation, grading,
plumbing connections to street services, etc.
A•2.1.3.1. Buildings Divided by Firewalls.
This concept relates to the provisions directly regu-
lated by this Code and does not apply to electrical

requirements. Similarly, it is not intended that vol-
untary standpipe and sprinkler installations comply
with the relevant requirements in Subsection 3.2.5.
Voluntary installations should not detrimentally
affect features required by the Code.
A•2.1.1.4. Factory•Built Buildings.
Manufactured buildings intended for residential

PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE
June 9, 1999
Beverley Plummer, P-91/99
South Part of Lot 12, Concession 2 (Oro)
Proposal
The applicant has applied for a Temporary Use By-law to permit the storage and
use of the property for one horse for a period of three years with the potential of
an additional three year period.
Official Plan -Agricultural
Zoning By-law -Rural Residential Two (RUR2) Zone
Department Head Comments
No Concerns.
Planning Department Comments
The subject property is located within
surrounded by agricultural properties.
severed lot off a farm parcel.
i cluster of residential properties which are
The subject property was in fact a
The property is 2.12 acres in size and it is evident on the survey provided by the
applicant (attached) that the area proposed to be used for a horse paddock is at
the north end of the property which is the furthest portion of the property from the
remainder of the residential cluster.
A Temporary Use By-law is permitted in accordance with the Planning Act and
the Township's Official Plan; these uses may not conform to the Official Plan.
These temporary uses are permitted for a specific period of time of up to three
years in situations where it is not appropriate to permit the use on a permanent
basis. With Temporary Use By-laws once the time period has lapsed the use
must cease or it will be deemed to contravene the Zoning By-law.
The Official Plan stipulates six criteria which the Township should be satisfied
about prior to giving favorable consideration to a Temporary Use By-law:
a) The proposed use shall be of a temporary nature and shall not
entail any major construction or investment on the part of the
owner so that the owner will not experience undue hardship in
reverting to the original use upon the termination of the
temporary use;
b) The proposed use shall be compatible with adjacent land uses
and the character of the surrounding neighbourhood;
c) The proposed use shall not require the extension or expansion
of existing municipal services;
d) The proposed use shall not create any traffic circulation
problems within the area nor shall it adversely affect the volume
and/or type of traffic serviced by the area's roads;
e) Parking facilities required by the proposed use shall be provided
entirely on-site; and,
f) The proposed use shall generally be beneficial to the
neighbourhood or the community as a whole.
The Committee should determine that subsection (a) is satisfied and discuss with
the applicant the details of the horse paddock she is looking at constructing to
• determine that the structure/shelter is temporary and will not be a financial
hardship for the applicant to remove once the Temporary Use By-law lapses.
The proposed use for the keeping of one horse would be in keeping with the
surrounding area which is predominantly agriculturaUrural.
The proposed use will not require the extension of any municipal services nor will
it cause any additional traffic concerns. The keeping of the one horse will not
require additional parking facilities as the intended use is by the applicant's
daughter who currently resides on the property.
The keeping of one horse on the subject property for a period of three years
would not appear to impact on the neighbourhood.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that Development Application P-91/99 proceed to a Public
Meeting in accordance with the Planning Act for a Temporary Use By-law to
permit the keeping of one horse.
