Application for Draft Plan Approval 4°~~
~; '',
•
May 5, 2000
The following is a brief report respecting an application on behalf of Horseshoe Resort
Corporation for Draft Plan Approval to permit the development of an Adult Lifestyle
Community on a portion of the Resort's land holdings.
1.0 Introduction
Horseshoe Resort is a destination recreational resort and growing residential community
located in the -heart of the Township of OFO-Medonte. As part -of .its continuing
development plans for the Horseshoe Community, the Resort is proposing to develop an
Adult Lifestyle Community. on .its .southern. boundary.. The Township. of Oro-Medonte
Official Plan recognizes this use and an application for rezoning has been previously
applied for. The application; which is the subject of this letter report; is for Draft Plan
Approval.
2.0 The Site
The subject property is IegalIy described as Part Lot 3 & 4, Concession 4 in the former
Township of Om; now Township of Oro-Medonte. The site is 93. i hectares in size (230
acres).
The site is "L" shaped and is bounded on the north by Highland Drive, the existing golf
Bourse driving range, existing residential uses and existing golf course holes. The site is
further bounded on the west by the 3`d line, on the east by the 4a' line and on the south by
bush land owned by others.
The property consists of rolling topography, some bushiand, and some open, overgrown
field conditions.

• 3.0 The Proposal
May 5, 2000
The site is subject to an existing approved Draft Pian of Subdivision (43T-89054). This
approved plan however, is not reflective of an appropriatedesign for.an Adult Lifestyle
Community and was proposed to be developed on septic systems. The plan permitted the
development of 287 single unit dwelling lots and the remaining golf hoses of the existing
Highlands golf course.
The Adult Lifestyle Proposal was reconfigured to take advantage of various matters.
These. include.the impressive land forms on the site, the-Existence of a now constructed
sewage treatment facility at the Resort, and, unlike the existing approved Draft Plan, is
much more sensitive to the existing environmental and natural issues facing the site.
The Adult Lifestyle proposal will incorporate the Draft Plan Approved 8 holes of golf in
a slightly reconfigured format. The proposal also provides far 594 single dwelling unit
lots as welt as a community centre. Watking and cross country ski trails shall traverse the
site, and most of the existing bushiot and hedge rows shall be preserved.
Four storm water management facilities on the property will provide both a golf course
amenity feature as well as provide equality and quantity storm water management
controls.
. All of the existing residential development at the Resort which abuts the site will be
buffered by either open space lands or golf course holes. It is proposed that all of the
open space lands on the site will remain in the ownership of Horseshoe Resort.
A "rural" feel is being sought on the site with the advent of open ditches, clustered
planting; natur4lized rear yards on the lots and a meandering trail system through-the
development. The open ditches also serve a storm water management function.
Based on comments received by the public through the Comprehensive Development
Plan. process, which will be discussed in detail later in this report, several. changes were
made to the previously submitted Concept Draft Plan. These include various matters
including eliminating-the through. access-to-the existing Nordic Trail.on Phase 4A of the
Resort. Originally the approved Draft Plan (43T-89054), as well as the Concept Plan,
proposed. bring Nordic Trail through the subject lands. The new Plan. retains the existing
Nordic Trail cul-de-sac and provides for an emergency access to the Adult Lifestyle
community. Similarly, an access has been provided on the south end ofthe Plan to the 3~
line in order to provide an alternate access to a boundary road in advance of the 4`~' line
access being constructed. The original Concept Plan did not provide for this access.
The public has also expressed concerns with the housing types in the proposal. In an
.effort to address these concerns, the proposed site specific by-laly EOntemplates larger
• lots than originally proposed, as well as Iarge lot coverages in order to accommodate
larger homes on the site.
_ 3 _ May 5, 2000
• The Concept Plan also contemplated development of townhouses on the site. As a direct
response to the pubiie, these have been removed from the Draft Plan and only singlc unit
dwelling units are proposed as the housing stock.
The development is proposed to be phased commencing at the north west corner of the
site near the 3`~.line and Highland Drive. The phasing is contingent on the market and
servicing issues however, it is proposed that there shall be seven or more phases
throughout the life of the project.
It is intended that the golf course holes shall be constructed within the first or second
phase of the project.
4.0 Official Plan
The Official Plan (OP) for the Township of Oro-Medonte designates the subject lands
"Horseshoe Valley Low Density Residential". Section 1x2.5.4.2 of the t)P permits the
development on the subject lands of an Adult Lifestyle Community, under certain
conditions. These conditions are contained in Sections E2.5.4.3 and B2.5.4.4 and
essentially require the approval of a Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP).
. Briefly stated, the CDP requires the Resort to provide to the Township for their
consideration, a Functional Servicing Report, Traffic Study, Phasing Study, Concept Plan,
Urban Design f3uidelines, and Hydrogeological Report. With the exception of the
.detailed-Phasing Plan,.each of theses studies have been provided-to the Township for
review. To date, the Concept PIan has proceeded to a public meeting. The purpose of
bringing the Concept, Plan to the public. for comment firstwas to familiarize the public
with the proposal, and to afI"ord the Resort both Township and public comments prior to
proceeding with the detaits on the Draft Plan. -The remaining studies shall accompanythe
Draft Plan to a second public meeting.
5.0 Zoning By-law
The current zoning on the site recognizes the Draft Approved Plan (43T-89054). The
zones on-the site-are Residentiall (hold)and Private-Recreational jRl(H).& PR}. The
site wilt therefore have to be rezoned in order to properly accommodate the new Draft
Plan proposal.
The proposed zoning is for a site specific R2 zone which would recognize the reduced
lots sizes provided due to the advent of development. nn full services,. the provision of a
community centre and associated commercial uses, and the ability to construct single unit
dwellings and possibly, townhouse dwellings.
• An application for rezoning has been previously submitted to the Township for its review.
-4-
• 6.0 Servicing
Map S, 2000
The subject lands are proposed to be serviced by municipal water and the existing
Sequential Batch ,Reactor for sanitary sewage purposes. The report. completed by Cole
Sherman Consulting Engineers entitled "Horseshoe Adult Lifestyle Community
Functional Servicing Report" dated March 2000 Lreference CN30700043) identifies that
the entire site can be appropriately serviced with sewer and water services however, in
the latter phases of the development, certain upgrades to both the sewer and water system
would be required. These upgrades would not preclude full build out of the project. The
reportwas.written.atthe time when 651.-units .were.contemplated onthe site. This, as
previously stated, has been reduced to 594 units. The reduction in units however, is not
expected to dramatically effect the outcome or conclusions of the report.
Four stormwater management ponds will be required to service the site. These are being
designed into the golf course in order-to .serve a dual purpose. The ponds. will be a
combination of a wet and dry pond design. The wet pond feature will be an amenity
feature for the golf course and the-dry pond will assist in achieving the i~ltration rates
required. These rates are outlined in the report authored by Teaaprobe and entitled
"Hydrogeologic Assessment Proposed Horseshoe Adult Lifestyle Community Lots 2,3. &
4, Concession 4 Township of Oro-Medonte" file # 00679 and dated March 19, 2000.
• Cole Sherman has also identified in the Functional Servicing Report that the provision of
utilities to the site is not at issue and can be easily accommodated.
7.0 Conclusion
Horseshoe Resort's Adult Lifestyle Community is a proposed themed community of 594
single unit dwellings, with associated community, open space and recreational uses. The
site is Located at the south end of the Resort on a previously approved Draft Plan of
Subdivision. It is-the opinionof this. office-that the new proposal suits-the site better Phan
the currently approved Draft PIan as it better takes into consideration matters of
hydrogeology, land form conservation, and preservation of ecological amenities.
The proposal conforms to the Township Official Plan and follows the components and
recommendations of-the completed Comprehensive Development Plan. -The site-can be
properly serviced, is sensitive to the surrounding lands uses, and a zoning by-law can be
provided for the lands which takes into consideration its unique character and servicing
characteristics.
It is my opinion as a Professional Planner that the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision
constitutes good planning.

Planninc~Department Comments (February 15, 2000)
The Official Plan in Section E2.5.4.3 requires that prior to considering the
development of an Adult Lifestyle Community, a Comprehensive Development
Plan is required to be completed which will address the following:
1
• a) the proposed form of servicing;
b) the nature, extent and timing of improvements to Horseshoe
Valley Road and other roads accessing the development in
accordance with the traffic study required by Section E2.5.1;
c) the proposed phasing of development;
d) the proposed form, scale and density of residential
development;
e) the urban design standards that are to apply to the proposed
development;
f) the proposed nature of the recreational amenities that are to be
developed on the site;
g) the means by which the development will be integrated with
existing development in the Horseshoe Valley Resort node;
and,
h) the impact of new development on the groundwater recharge
• function in the area.
Section E 2.5.4.4 of the Plan indicates that the Comprehensive Development
Plan will not be approved unless Council is satisfied that:
a) the proposed form of servicing for the lands is appropriate and
agreed to by the Township and the appropriate agencies;
b) the proposed location, nature and timing of improvements to
Horseshoe Valley Road and other roads is appropriate and
agreed to by the Township and the appropriate agencies; and,
c) the phasing of development is appropriate given the timing of
the installation of services and the improvements to Horseshoe
Valley Road and other roads.
The Plan stipulates that two Public Meetings will be held on the proposed
rezoning: (1) on the conceptual form of the proposal; and (2) after all the
components of the Comprehensive Development Plan and Traffic Study have
been completed. The rezoning will not occur until Council is satisfied that the
conditions of approval of Section E2.5.4.4 have been completed.
2
The applicant's have submitted the draft Traffic Impact Study and the concept
plan for review. It is intended that portions of the Comprehensive Development
Plan will be presented to the Planning Advisory Committee for review and
comment as they are completed rather than as a whole package at the end of
the process.
Discussion have occurred between the engineers to determine the requirements
for the servicing component and the storm water management component to
ensure the information is contained to the satisfaction of the Township.
Copies of the correspondence received to date and the concept plan are
attached for the Committee's review.
A Public Meeting should be scheduled in accordance with the Plan to review the
concept with the public and Council as soon as possible. Recommendations
relating to the second public meeting on the proposed rezoning will be not made
until all requirements of Section E2.5.4.3 (Comprehensive Development Plan)
and E2.5.1 (Traffic Study) are completed and reviewed.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the first Public Meeting to review the concept plan be
• proceed in accordance with the Official Plan requirements.
Planning Department Comments (April 12, 2000
This application was reviewed at the February Planning Advisory Committee
meeting with regard to the concept plan. At that time the recommendation was
for the first of the two required public meetings to occur. On April 5, the public
meeting to review the conceptual form of development occurred.
As required by the Official Plan, there are a number of components, which
encompass the Comprehensive Development Plan described in Section
E2.5.4.3. The applicant has now provided a number of these components for
the Township's review and comment:
{a) Cole Sherman prepared a Functional Servicing Report on behalf of the
applicant. This report has been provided to AI Lees, at R.G. Robinson for a
review and his comments will be provided at the meeting.
(b) The Traffic Impact Study was provided to the Township and McCormick
Rankin conducted a peer review, a copy of their comments are attached for
the Committee's information. The County of Simcoe also reviewed this study
and their comments are also provided for the Committee's reference.
3
• (c) The proposed phasing of development was identified on the conceptual plan
of the development; however further details regarding the phasing and its
relationship to the servicing and marketing components will be addressed by
the applicant prior to the second public meeting.
{d) The proposed form, scale, and density of residential development was
provided on the conceptual plan of the development; however the applicant
has been asked to provided additional details related to the form of
development (i.e. types of units, plan of condominium vs. subdivision).
(e) The Urban Design Guidelines prepared by the Landplan Collaborative Ltd.
have been provided to the Township for review.
(f) The proposed recreational amenities were identified on the conceptual plan
of development including the community centre, golf course, and walking
trails.
(g) The means of integration of the development into the existing development in
the Horseshoe Resort node has been shown on the conceptual plan through
the vegetative buffering with additional information being provided within the
Urban Design Guidelines.
(h) Terraprobe has completed a Hydrogeological Assessment of the proposed
development for the applicant. This study was provided to Azimuth
Environmental for a peer review of the report and will be available at the
meeting.
The Official Plan indicates that all components of the Comprehensive
Development Plan and the Traffic Study are to be completed prior to the second
public meeting. The Plan further stipulates that the rezoning will not occur until
Council is satisfied that Section E2.5.4.4 (Conditions of Approval) has been
completed.
In discussions with the applicant's consultant it has been determined that a copy
of the proposed draft plan and draft zoning by-law amendment would also be
available for the public meeting to ensure a complete proposal is available for
public review. Copies of all studies will be available for public review at the
Township office.
Recommendation
It is recommended that Development Application P-100/00, a proposed rezoning
for an Adult Lifestyle Community, proceed to the required second public meeting
after the draft plan has been submitted and reviewed by Council/Planning
Advisory Committee.
