Re: McCowan Application for Severance
Your Worship, Mayor Hughes and members of Council;
We have two objectives today:
FIRST, we would like to BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION an application
for severance of a lot in the Village of Shanty Bay that has far reaching
implications for Bay Street and for the Village.
SECOND, we would like to TELL YOU WHAT WE WANT for the future
of Bay Street.
Mr. Ron McCowan owns a piece of property in the Village of Shanty Bay,
[shown on the screen here]. [Point out the Ridge Road, current access to the
property by right of way over property to the north, the Rail Trail, Lake
Simcoe, the end of Bay Street and the adjoining (heavily forested) property
owned by the Township between the end of Bay Street and Ridge Road, and
IN PARTICULAR THE CHURCH WOODS.]
AS YOU KNOW, THE ENTIRE VILLAGE OF SHANTY BAY AND
OTHER RESIDENTS OF THE TOWNSHIP, INCLUDING THE
TOWNSHIP ITSELF, PARTICIPATED IN THE UNPRECEDENTED
PROJECT OF RAISING NEARLY THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION
DOLLARS TO PURCHASE THE CHURCH WOODS AND TO SAVE
THE TREES IN THE WOODS JUST THIS YEAR.
THE PIECE OF PROPERTY OWNED BY THE TOWNSHIP ADJACENT
TO THE CHURCH WOODS IS HEAVILY FORESTED AND IS
ACTUALLY A CONTINUATION OF THE SAME WOODS. The trees
here on Township land include 100 year old hemlocks, maples, butternuts
and black walnuts. Some of these trees are listed as endangered. They
provide habitat for many species of birds and mammals. They form a natural
I
corridor for wildlife migration and there is a well used footpath through
these woods, connecting to the Church Woods that we would like to see
preserved. As you know, the TREES HELP TO CLEAN OUR AIR AND
ACT AS A NATURAL FILTER FOR RUNOFF INTO LAKE SIMCOE.
The Church Woods and this piece of property are part of a natural corridor
of trees STRETCHING FROM BARRIE TO ORILLIA.
THESE TREES ARE THE LUNGS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THE
HEALTH OF LAKE SIMCOE IS ALL ABOUT PROTECTING THE
WATERSHED.Mr. McCowan has applied to the Committee of Adjustment
to sever his property into two lots [shown on the screen here].
NO ONE KNEW ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS SEVERANCE
FOR BAY STREET.
In fact NO ONE ON COUNCIL was informed of this application and its
serious implications until after the Committee of Adjustment hearing on
June 21.
THOSE FEW PEOPLE WHO WERE SERVED WITH NOTICE OF THE
HEARING, THE FEW NEIGHBOURS WITHIN THE PRESCRIBED
NUMBER OF FEET OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, COULD NOT
APPRECIATE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR BAY STREET BECAUSE
THE NOTICE CONTAINED AN ERROR:
In fact, the Notice of the hearing states as follows:
"The land to be severed is proposed to have ...., frontage along Lake
Simcoe of 49.7 metres..."
This was a mistake: It should have said a frontage along BAY STREET of
49.7 metres. This would have raised alarm bells. Everyone knows that Mr.
McCowan's property does not front on Bay Street. Bay Street is not open to
Mr. McCowan's property.
IF THE NOTICE HAD BEEN CORRECT, HALF THE VILLAGE
WOULD HAVE ATTENDED THE HEARING OF THE COMMITTEE OF
ADJUSTMENT.
It was only when three of us here today attended the Committee of
Adjustment meeting on June 21, that we heard from the Planning
Department's Report (which was read into the record at the meeting by
Planning Staff), that that Bay Street is to be extended and constructed to
"municipal standards" so that then Mr. McCowan's lot will have frontage on
BAY STREET.
2
The Township Planning Department has recommended that consent be given
to Mr. McCowan's severance, on condition (among others) that Mr.
McCowan EXTEND BAY STREET FROM THE CURRENT DEAD END
SHOWN HERE
AND TO CONSTRUCT A NEW ROAD ALL THE WAY FROM HERE
TO HERE
UP TO MUNICIPAL STANDARDS, INCLUDING A TURNING CIRCLE
HERE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, such a road extension would involve the
PERMANENT DESTRUCTION OF SEVERAL HUNDRED TREES,
RIGHT NEXT TO THE CHURCH WOODS. All of the mature and stately
100 year old hemlocks, maples, butternuts and black walnuts would be
destroyed to bring such a road up to municipal standards.
YOU CAN ALSO SEE FROM THE MAP THAT THE PROPOSED
EXTENSION TO BAY STREET AND THE NEW TURNING CIRCLE
WOULD EXTEND BAY STREET TO WITHIN A FEW HUNDRED FEET
OF THE RIDGE ROAD. THE RISK IS THAT SOME FUTURE
APPLICATION COULD BE MADE TO OPEN BAY STREET TO THE
RIDGE ROAD AND SOME FUTURE COUNCIL COULD PERMIT IT,
WE DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN.
The Committee of Adjustment considered Mr. McCowan's application for
severance at a meeting held on June 21, 2007. The Committee deferred its
decision.
By appearing before Council today, we do not intend to usurp the
jurisdiction of the Committee of Adjustment. Our purpose today, as I stated
initially, is to respectfully bring THIS MATTER and ITS IMPLICATIONS
TO YOUR ATTENTION.
Ladies and Gentlemen, THIS APPLICATION HAS IMPLICATIONS
THAT ARE FAR GREATER THAN A MERE SEVERANCE.
3
We have been told that in order to sever his property, according to the
Township's Official Plan, Mr. McCowan's retained and proposed severed
lots must front on and be directly accessed by a public road that is
maintained on a year round basis by the Township or the-County (Official
Plan, Section D2.2.1). Mr. McCowan's property does not currently front
onto a public road. His property is currently accessed by a private road that
crosses private property from the Ridge Road, [shown here on this slide].
We were astounded to read in the words of Mr. McCowan's planner in her
planning report and I quote:
"Township staff have verbally agreed to permit the applicant to
construct an extension of Bay Street to municipal standards as a
Condition of Consent" (MHBC Planning Report, Page 4).
It seems to us that the Township Planning Department HAS GIVEN AWAY
THE FARM: we do not understand how it is possible that staff can make
such a far reaching decision relating to opening up a new road without input
from our elected officials and from the residents who will be most affected
by such a decision.
The proposal put forth by the Planning Department is to require Mr.
McCowan to build a road "up to municipal standards" from the current end
of Bay Street, on land owned by the Township to "the approximate mid
point of the proposed retained lot" (Page 2 of Planning Report).
[here is a picture of just such a road currently under construction at Moon
Point] AS YOU CAN SEE, ROAD CONSTRUCTION TO MUNICIPAL
STANDARDS MEANS THE LARGE SCALE DEMOLITION OF TREES.
As you can see from the slides, the clearcutting of trees has been done not
just for the 66 foot road allowance but well beyond. We do not wish to see
such negative effects on our environment in Shanty Bay.
I would like to point out at this point a few provisions in the Township of
Oro - Medonte's Official Plan; I quote:
" ... According to the people of Oro - Medonte, the excellent quality of
life is what makes the Township a desirable place to live. This quality of
life is created, in large part, by the rural character of the community, the
11
open countryside, farmland, extensive wooded areas, ....Rather than
being dominated by man -made structures and landscaped yards, the
Township has an open, relatively natural and rural character. These are
the dualities that, taken together, contribute to the identity of the
community that is of the greatest importance to the residents........ This
Official Plan establishes an "environment first" philosophy in the
Township. The environment first philosophy is a land use planning
philosophy that is to be considered in making all planning decisions
whereby the importance of maintaining, restoring, and where possible,
enhancing or r improving natural features and ecological functions is
recognized and promoted as a Township priority....... Other lands to be
preserved in large measure so that they will always form part of the
Township's landscape include rural areas, significant woodlands and
major open space areas." (Official Plan, Page 4) [emphasis added]
One of the Strategic Objectives set out in the Official Plan is: "TO
PROTECT FROM IMCOMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT SIGNIFICANT
WOODLANDS AND WILDLIFE HABITAT AREAS AND THE
ECOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS THEY PROVIDE" (Official Plan, A2.1.2
(0)
Another Strategic Objective set out in the Official Plan is: "TO ENSURE
THAT AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT,
INCLUDING THE VALUES, OPPORTUNITIES, LIMITS AND
CONSTRAINTS THAT IT PROVIDES, GUIDES LAND USE
DECISION - MAKING IN THE TOWNSHIP" (Official Plan, A2.1.2 (c))
A further provision of the Official Plan sets out:
" It is the policy of this Plan that the integrity of the natural corridors
and potential natural corridors be preserved wherever feasible to
protect existing linkages and encourage the development of new
linkages." (Official Plan, Page 6) [emphasis added].
In fact it is the stated intention of the Township as set out in Section D1.4.1
of the Official Plan that the creation of new lots on roads which are private
roads, crossing private property, as Mr. McCowan's current lot is, is not
permitted. The Official Plan states that all lots that front on these roads shall
be subject to Site Plan Control and be subject to a Holding Provision in the
implementing Zoning By -law.
5
This has been done; Mr. McCowan's existing property is zoned RLS (H) or
Residential Limited Service, subject to a Holding Provision under the
Township's Zoning By -law 97 -95 as amended. The Limited Service
designation refers to the fact that the property does not front onto a publicly
maintained road. There are criteria that must be satisfied before COUNCIL
can remove a Holding Provision applying to lots that are not on a public
road. (Official Plan, Section D1.4.2)
It seems to us who are here today, that this matter of creating a new lot
where the existing lot is zoned subject to a Holding Provision is a matter that
should involve the Council and the Planning Advisory Committee of the
Township first, BEFORE the application for severance. If the re- zoning is
done AFTER the severance is granted and after the road is built, the
Township is PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE: the harm that
will be done by permitting the extension of Bay Street will by then be
irreversible. The eggs will then be broken and, ladies and gentlemen, we all
know that you can't PUT HUMPTY DUMPTY TOGETHER AGAIN.
In fact, on close reading of the Official Plan, we note a provision that was
not referred to in the Planning Report of either Mr. McCowan's planner or
the Planning Department and this is Section D2.1 , titled "Preferred Means
of Land Division ":
It states:
"Land Division by Plan of Subdivision, rather than by consent,
SHALL GENERALLY BE REQUIRED if:... the extension of an
existing public road or the development of a new public road is
required to access the proposed lots..." [Emphasis added]
IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU HAVE TO BUILD A ROAD TO A
PROPOSED NEW LOT, YOU HAVE TO GO BY PLAN OF
SUBDIVISION, NOT TO THE COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT.
We do not know why this directive, set out in the Township's own Official
Plan_ was not followed in this instance.
We respectfully submit that the parcel of land owned by the Township
between the Ridge Road on the north and the current end of Bay Street on
the south forms a natural wildlife corridor to the Church Woods. In our
view, it would be environmentally irresponsible to disrupt this natural
corridor, especially when a perfectly usable road from the Ridge Road
31
already exists and especially since Mr. McCowan himself has gone to the
trouble of building his own road, on his own property from the north end of
his property, practically to the lake [shown here on this slide].
What do we want: We want five things.
1. WE WANT TO SAVE THE TREES. The extension of Bay Street and
construction of a new road will result in the permanent destruction of
hundreds of trees next to the Church Woods. The loss of wildlife
habitat and the natural corridor for wildlife migration forever will be a
tragedy.
2. WE WANT TO PRESERVE THE ENVIRONMENT IN ITS
NATURAL STATE for our children and grandchildren: the severance
and road construction are in conflict with the wishes of the residents
of Shanty Bay, who have shown, by their unprecedented support of
the Couchiching Conservancy's purchase of The Church Woods, that
they wish to preserve the environment in its natural state where
possible;
3. WE DON'T WISH TO HAVE BAY STREET FURTHER
EXTENDED: the residents of Bay Street do not wish to have Bay
Street extended to the Ridge Road either. Future applications could be
made to extend Bay Street as a thoroughfare all the way to Ridge
Road which would destroy the character of the entire street and the
Village forever.
4. WE WANT TO PREVENT FURTHER APPLICATIONS FROM
PIGGYBACKNG ON THIS ONE: this application is only the "thin
edge of the wedge ". All of the other property that would front onto
this newly extended road could apply for new lots to be severed,
thereby resulting in even more traffic on Bay Street.
5. FINALLY, WE WANT TO TOWNSHIP TO STICK TO THE PLAN:
we want the Township to follow the directives in its own Official
Plan: Put the environment first in its decisions, protect the rural
qualities of the Township and its significant woodlands, PROTECT
AND PROMOTE NATURAL CORRIDORS and, if there is a
directive in the Official Plan regarding PREFERRED MEANS OF
LAND DIVISION when a road is required to access the new lot, lets
7
go that way. Let's work co- operatively to find a solution that satisfies
all interested parties.
We respectfully submit that this application should have been reviewed in
the context of the existing parameters and the "environment first"
philosophy of the Township's own Official Plan; it should have received
rigorous review in the context of Planning Principles set out therein,
including the "Preferred Means of Land Division ", and it should have
received the scrutiny of Council because of the current Holding Provisions,
applied by Council under the Township's own Zoning By -law. Finally, it
should have been the subject of a full and fair hearing of the issues by
Township residents who would be affected by the further extension of Bay
Street.
We remain ready, willing and able to meet with Planning Department Staff
and Mr. McCowan's planner to discuss alternatives. In fact, the Committee
of Adjustment has asked us to do this. Unfortunately, we hear that Planning
Department Staff have been meeting with Mr. McCowan's planner and,
without any input from us, are preparing an amended application to the
Committee of Adjustment.
We respectfully submit the foregoing to Council for their information and
further action if it is deemed necessary.
We would be pleased to answer any questions you may wish to ask at this
time.
Respectfully submitted by Catherine Nixon on behalf of The Church Woods
Committee (Tim Crooks, Stan and Brenda Glazer, Vicki Hand, Catherine
Nixon, Miriam Oben, Suzanne Robillard, Dr. Jim Swan)

The Town Centre Committee will review development proposals and report to council in

interest and financial commitment by the end of May in order to meet the following
timelines: 2007 — get things rolling; 2008 — issue a Request for Proposal, make a
selection, site plan approvals; 2009 — start site work.
The City requires the scope of the library's requirements to be included in the expression
of interest, including criteria such as parking (designated, open, distance from building,
handicapped, access and orientation to the building), traffic flow, number of entrances,
outdoor space, number of floors, configuration of space, windows, etc. R.Duhamel will
work with the Director to prepare a list of requirements.
The Director met with City Staff March 8 to discuss five options for improving Library

Programs
Goal 2.1 Develop and maintain programs associated with identified groups.
The Saturday morning Drop -In Family Storytime finished up for the season on the second
Saturday in May. Attendance slowed down with the arrival of the good weather.
Preschool Stories, Tales for Twos and Threes, and the Caregivers Storytime were offered in a
shortened four week session, to allow Children's Services Staff to prepare for the Summer
Reader's Club. All four sessions were full; however we had to cancel the Books and Babies
program due to low registration (3). We will have to examine how we advertise this program.
Children's services staff began preparation for the TD Summer Reader's Club Lost Worlds.
Kelly Smith wrote a script highlighting the theme; Sarah Cszeky and her husband build a time
travel portal. The staff performed and worked on a DVD to be used to promote the TD Summer
Reader's Club. The DVD is very creative and should create a lot of enthusiasm for the program.
Reference
#5 The Library will develop methods of measurement to evaluate the effectiveness of
library services and programs.
Reference Questions May 2007: 344
May 2006: 412
The monthly statistics show a seventeen per cent decrease.
Outreach and Publicity
Goal 2.5 Provide a welcoming environment for our users.
Material displays included, great non - fiction, Silver Birch, and Red Maple Books ".
I presented a Library Storytime at the Ontario Early Years Center.
Goal 2.1 Develop and maintain programs associated with identified groups.
Lee Kelly attended a meeting of the Safe Kids Committee and will be participating in their safety
promotion at the Farmer's Market on June 6.
Kelly Smith attended a meeting of the JP Kidz After School Club board meeting.
Goal 2.7 Establish a mutually - beneficial presence in the school system.
Battle of the Books
Semi - Battle for the round robin tournament of the Battle of the Books occurred on May 3. Teams
from David H. Church, Harriet Todd, Mount Slaven, Orchard Park, Regent Park, Hillcrest, Notre
Dame, East Oro, Monsignor Lee, and Ardtrea schools met for an all day round robin tournament.
All participants had fun and worked hard at answering questions based on books. The Semi -
Battle was held at St. Paul's United Church as the library does not have the space to
accommodate seventy children plus teachers. Dominoe's Pizza generously donated pizza for
lunch for all children participating in the semi - battle. After a hard fought battle the three teams
to emerge victorious and moved on to the Grand Battle were Orchard Park (the defending
champions), Regent Park and East Oro. The day was also made a success by the participation of
staff from all departments of the library.
The Grand Battle was held on the evening of May 17`h at the Library. Parents, brothers, Sisters
and friends were all invited to watch this great tournament showcasing books and reading. The
final results were very close; all teams were within two points of each other with Orchard Park
successfully defending their title.
School Visits
The three grade one classes from Harriet Todd visited children's services on three successive
Tuesdays for programs featuring community helpers and including an introduction to the
library —a great community helper.
Goal 4 The Library will advocate for increased public awareness of the value and range
of library services.
Debra Smith from Barrie Public Library and I were asked to speak at the teacher - librarian
conference to be held in June at the Board office in Midhurst. We will be speaking on literacy
based programming in public libraries as well as the use of libraries for research with an
introduction to databases.
Lee visited Treasure Island Daycare and presented a story time and offered brochures for the
children to take home to their families introducing library services.
Staff Development
Goal 8 Maintain an ongoing commitment to staff training, recruitment and development

Public Libraries on programming in support of this summer's TD Reader's Club theme -Lost
Worlds.
per
Kelly Smith attended a Southern Ontario Library Service (SOLS) sponsored workshop on Teen
programming held at Barrie Public Library. Kelly came away with some great programming
ideas which we hope to implement in the fall. It was also a good opportunity to network and
meet other Youth Services staff.
Youth Services
Goal 2.1 Develop and maintain programs associated with identified groups.
The second teen program was planned and implemented with the help of our student page

attended. The adult program this month was presented by Bayshore Long Term Care
Services and the talk was on Community and Long Term Care for the elderly and 12
people attended that program.
Four newspaper articles were written for the Packet and I submitted one to the North
Simcoe News on upcoming events.

services and programs:
1970 people used the public computers during May. 1618 searches were conducted on the
databases to which the library subscribes. There were 1070 visitors to the library website
and 18 to the William Sword Frost scrapbook.
GOAL 6: Investigate, develop and maintain partnerships in the community:
Lynn Lockhart and Michelle Sinclair have been cataloguing the music library for the
Huronia Symphony Orchestra on their own time. Lynn has built a music database in
Access, in order to complete the task. The cataloguing requires a great deal of detail and
there are over 300 items to catalogue.
At the monthly meeting of Information Orillia, completion of the Strategic Plan and
upcoming fundraising events were discussed. Lynn Mclsaac agreed to stand as Treasurer.
GOAL 7: Attract, develop and maintain a trained and educated workforce and

TECHNICAL SERVICES REPORT
MAY 2007
Circulation
In May a committee was set up, headed by Sue Murphy, to explore the concept of a one book -
one community program. It includes staff from several departments. They are hoping to kick off
the project in July.
The library's spring sidewalk book sale netted $930 for our reserve funds.
S sy tems
In May we sent out a Request for Proposal (RFP) to several library consultants, looking for
someone to help us choose a new library system to replace our present one, Geac Advance. We
are looking for help to distinguish and evaluate the available systems, as well as to define and
refine our requirements. We anticipate this will be a quicker process than our last project in the
mid 1990s, and we hope to have a chosen system by budget time in the fall.
May 14 and 15 I attended the Geac Library Users Group annual conference in Montreal. It was
co- hosted by the Westmount Public Library and 1'Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal. While not
all the attendees were using the new Vubis system from Infor (the successor company of Geac),
most of the discussions and presentations were about the Vubis products. I was present at the
first 2 days of the 4- day conference (the last 2 days were about very specific how -to aspects of
using the system). It was very informative, attendees came from as far as Ireland, the
Netherlands and Montana, and I learned a lot more about an evolving system that will likely be
in the running as we search for an Advance replacement. My report is attached.

Karen Woolcox, Dianne Hounsome and Liz Summerfield have sent letters.

Wednesday, June 20`h, 2007 at 4:30 pm.

1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
It was moved by Kathryn Stephenson and seconded by Roger Selman and
carried that,
"THAT the minutes of the Board Meeting held on Wednesday, June 6th,
2007 be approved as circulated."
2. BUSINESS ARISING
• Is there a contract for the Artisan Tour? There wasn't last year; perhaps we
should have one that deals with logo placement? What we have is verbal
confirmation of the distribution probably good business practice to have in
place. We will need to provide this. Action: Christine Anderson looking into
samples from othersIn this vein, we need the documentation to support any
requests for funding partnerships with reasons and then these types of requests
would be used for budgeting purposes. Criteria for funding must be focused
and specific to ensure we don't get lots of application. This is about tourism
partnerships. There is sponsorship and advertising — different but both result in
requests to Lake Country. Rare for sponsorship requests except from our own
membership. Action: Christine Anderson will look into similar criteria based
application/documents from other organizations.
• A suggestion has been put forward for a group membership for artisans — but
can we afford to do that for one group and not for others? Item to be reviewed
as part of our membership package development.
FINANCIAL REPORT
Donna presented the financial report to the end of May 2007 complete with
P &L, Balance Sheet and Aged AR. The outstanding GST owing to OLC was
questioned — this is the result of the annual filing for reimbursement of 50% of
the GST paid. This is submitted with the completion of the annual audit.
The Board discussed municipal funding — when should we ask for the funds?
The discussion revolved around when to start the financial /performance clock
ticking with the municipalities. It would make sense to request the funding in
the fall once the ED is in place. But in the meantime, perhaps we send a letter
to all the municipalities indicating our thanks for their financial commitment
and that we will be looking for our funding beginning in the fall of 2007.
Action: Donna to prepare a letter for Bruce to sign on behalf of Board.
The terms of the TD Mutual Funds and its purpose was questioned. These
funds have been set aside as a reserve for expenses if OLC is ever wound down
— final audit, legal fees etc. Action: Christine J. to confirm terms, see if
cashable and what rates could be obtained through Scotia bank. If appropriate
come back to board.
4. SEVERN TOWNSHIP UPDATE
• Severn Township reconsidered the funding request at their last council meeting.
It was disappointing that only two members from the Board plus Marian Parrott
attended. There were some concerns expressed about past communications
processes but in the end they were supportive of the organization and approved
the funding.
5. COMMITTEE REPORTS
a. Management:
i. The committee includes: Roy Menagh, Greg Heffering, Kim
V iney, Rick Dory, and Mark Downing. Donna will make herself
available for the first meeting.
ii. First meeting will be this Friday at the CDC. Group will review
the job description, and advertising posting for ED. As well the
group will discuss terms of reference, roles, and responsibilities for
the committees. Recommendations should be made to the Board
prior to the hiring of the ED.
b. Marketing:
i. First meeting to be set shortly and more members will be added.
ii. Should the marketing committee review new opportunities and
bring back to the Board with recommendations ? What are the
objectives of the committee? What is the direction? What is the
time frame? Suggestions would be welcomed. There are lots of
inquiries that come in some are good, others are not — is there a
point person until the ED is in place. What is the process for new
ideas in the interim? Saw two different sides to marketing — one
for members of Lake Country, one marketing OLC. We need an
organizational structure development. We need a strategic plan
and direction in place. For now things should just come to the
board rather than to the marketing committee. Materials should be
reviewed by the committee, synthesized by the committee and then
brought back to the Board if warranted.
iii. We might want someone from the Province to make sense of their
programs. Action: Christine to invite someone to come from the
Province to provide info on their programs.
_ w3
iv. It was suggested that the brand was weak. Perhaps it's a factor of
optimizing the website with language.
v. Yamaha and OMOA would be great target for the future and a
corporate marketing partner.
vi. Do we stay with the sector themes as in the past?
vii. We have sent out literature (Destination Magazine), how are we
tracking, fulfillment? We need to do a better job of promoting
Ontario's Lake Country. What are we getting back as return on the
investment of the municipalities? Everything we do must have the
ability to be tracked. The visitor centre program is so important as
you can track it.
viii. Our priority should we be working on a winter campaign or we
will miss the boat if we start working on this in the fall. Need to
concentrate on Fall and Ski.
ix. Kiosks are moving along — three kiosks — Ramara, Oro - Medonte,
Orillia — We have hired Co- ordinator — she has great experience
and started on Monday. She helped interview students, and has
visited all kiosks already. She is developing the training manual
for the students. She is being trained by the Ont. Tourism centre.
We will have two students to be hired — both positioned have been
offered but waiting acceptance. Ramara did not receive their
funding. Have approached schools for students. The co- ordinator
will work with all three kiosks — she should contact Roger.
Currently working on signage, having a counter built for Orillia,
working on internet access and phones, dress code in place,
students will have golf shirts, name tags, HTA will rack brochures.
Good with marketing materials, don't have to be a member this
year to participate in the kiosks, maybe next. Orillia will be open 7
days, Oro Thursday through Sunday. We will need to determine
what reports need to be created and provided to share with the
municipalities. We will need some press around the
opening /launch of the sites. Co- ordinator is being paid hourly for a
14 week contract. All kiosk staff will be paid for through
OLC /CDC with proper government paperwork in place for EI etc.
x. What do we do now for fulfillment? For those who request a bulk
amount of literature (i.e. another travel centre), we should send
them the Destination publication. For one -off requests from
potential visitors to the area, the Co- ordinator will create a package
for distribution. When someone asks — we need to track how they
heard about OLC.
c. Membership:
• ED will go after membership. Membership committee needs to
create a sales package. We need continued press releases to get the
message out within the community. What about letting the
community know about the kiosk coordinator hired and to be
opened. Also a press release on the new Board. Action: Carol to
_J
create two press releases, Kathryn to review and then to Bruce for
final approval. Once approved it should be sent to members as
well as media.
No invoicing of old members yet until sale package has been
created.
d. Fundraising:
• Tara has had some discussion with a couple potential members.
Looking for a meeting to occur after July I". A set of budget
objectives have been reviewed and wll be a part of this meeting
discussion.
REVISION OF TIMELINES /ACTION PLAN
The Board reviewed the content of the proposal presented to councils. Action
has begun on hiring the ED — expected to be in place by Sept. Is`. The Kiosks
will be running by July I". The two items that need attention is the marketing
campaigns as noted previously and work on the newsletters.
OTHER BUSINESS
• Anniversary of Champlain exploration of our area — targeting the French tourist,
there is grant money to have a portion of our website translated — about $1,000.
Money to be spent by year -end. A great partnership with Wasaga Beach.
Website needs to be reviewed before this happens to ensure it's up to date.
• Bruce reviewed the OTMP Watercooler document and its content with the
Board.
8. ADJOURNMENT
• On motion by Kathryn Stephenson, seconded by Roger Selman and carried, the
meeting was adjourned at approximately 6:40 p.m.

BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
No new business was discussed.
4.0 PROPERTIES AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT
I) W. McArthur reviewed that subsequent to Commission Motion 2007 -AC -17 whereby staff
was authorized to proceed with the tender process for the construction of the fire water
supply and distribution system, subsequent to final authorization and acceptance of the
design by the Township of Oro - Medonte staff, that a peer review of the TSH engineered
solution was conducted by the Township of Oro - Medonte. It was reviewed that following
the Township initiated peer review, a staff meeting to review and discuss any concerns
was immediately held with only minor changes to the solution required. Notwithstanding
this, W. McArthur noted that the tender process was on hold pending the Township of
Oro - Medonte's formal and final acceptance of the final design solution. General _
discussion. t> L,41) (
ii) It was reviewed that subsequent to Commission Motion 2007- AC -18, that airport
Commission's request for an infrastructure loan from the City of Barrie for the costs
associated with construction of the fire water storage and distribution system was
received by City of Barrie Council and referred to City of Barrie staff for a report and
recommendation(s) for presentation to General Committee. General discussion.
iii) Pursuant to the April 17, 2007 Commission meeting and through correspondence from
the City of Orillia dated April 13, 2007, it was confirmed that the City of Orillia have
requested the Commission to appear as a deputation before Council to clarify the
Commission's 2007 Capital Budget and longer -term capital commitments. It was
reviewed that this request dovetails on the mandated requirement for the long debated
fire water supply and distribution system. L. Leach submitted that a deputation of the
Commission would certainly be formed per the City of Orillia's request; however the
request for the funding of a fire suppression system should be of no surprise to any of the
member municipalities — Council or staff, as it has been an item of contentious debate
throughout the past several years. It was also reiterated that the requirement for fire
suppression exists outside of the business case and is a mandate of the Ontario Building
Code as interpreted and enforced by the Township of Oro - Medonte staff — not the Lake
Simcoe Regional Airport Commission. General discussion. Staff was given direction to
schedule a deputation accordingly.
IV) Pete Waters of Weatherwise Aviation was given the opportunity to express concerns of
the delays associated with the resolution of the long standing fire suppression issue, and
in general the overall building permit process through the Township of Oro - Medonte. It
was reviewed subsequent to the initial Weatherwise Aviation building permit application of
November 2006, that the Township of Oro - Medonte staff would still not issue a complete
building permit for the Hydro One Helicopter hangar on Lot 2. Pete Waters noted that
ongoing external peer review process and continuous requests for supplementary
information are the main causes for the delays. It was further noted that as Weatherwise
Aviation was on their fourth revision submission to Township staff and that the
construction materials being proposed for the Hydro One Helicopter hangar are identical
to the construction materials used in the large 32,000 square foot commercial hangar as
constructed in fiscal 2003, that the associated delays are unreasonable.
Pete Waters also noted that the building process in its present structure is extremely
cumbersome with unreasonable requests and delays and suggested that such actions will
only deter developments at the airport. Pete Waters suggested that the end user of the
hangar, Hydro One Helicopter Services, is now being directly affected by the delays and
suggested that tenants of the airport could be in jeopardy unless the process is
streamlined. Pete Waters concluded by suggesting that should the Township of Oro -
M,edonte not have the internal resources to facilitate and efficiently process building
permit applications, that perhaps the City of Barrie Building Department could be used as
the peer review agency, as opposed to a third party private consulting firm ultimately
saving both time and money. General discussion.
P. Mulrooney suggested that the Commission request a meeting with the applicable
Township of Oro - Medonte representatives to discuss the building permit process. J.
Lehman concurred suggesting that a review of the process is warranted in consideration
of the apparent delays and concerns of airport tenants and end users.
MOTION: Moved by J. Lehman, seconded by P. Spears.
2007 -AC -22 "THAT, the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Commission request a meeting
between members of the Executive of LSRA Commission (and any other
Commission members available /interested) and the Township of Oro -
Medonte Executive branch and staff (inclusive of the CAD, Chief Building
Inspector, the Fire Chief, Director of Planning) at the earliest opportunity to
establish a protocol for any future development of the airport; and convey
the Commission's concerns of the current process and the associated
delays."
Carried.
V) W. McArthur presented the construction update as of May 10, 2007.
5.0 FINANCIAL
i) The March 31, 2007 and YTD financial reports were presented.
MOTION: Moved by F. Smith, seconded by J. Crawford
2007 -AC -23 "THAT, the March 31, 2007 & YTD Financial Reports be approved, as
presented."
Carried.
ii) Through City of Orillia correspondence dated April 13, 2007; it was requested of the
Commission to pay the per diems (honorarium payments) entitled to the City of Orillia
Councillors sitting on the Commission, directly to the City of Orillia. It was reviewed that
the airport's 2007 operating budget includes $16,000 for honorariums paid to Commission
members and that all payments are issued based on the respective representatives
attendance. While all members of the Commission are eligible to receive honorariums, to
date, the City of Orillia Councillor representatives have been prohibited, by a City by -law.
It was reviewed that presently, the Township of Oro - Medonte Council and Citizen
representatives directly receive any Commission related honorariums, while the City of
Barrie Citizen representative is eligible, each of the Council appointed representatives
honorarium payments are paid directly to the City of Barrie. M. Drumm did note that future
airport budgets would be adjusted accordingly, to reflect this request.
MOTION: Moved by T. Allison, seconded by J. Lehman
2007 -AC -24 "THAT, the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Commission pay the per diems
entitled to the City of Orillia Councillors appointed to the Commission,
directly to the City of Orillia, based on meeting attendance."
Carried.
iii) In the same correspondence, City of Orillia staff submitted that Council plans to review
the City's participation in the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport joint venture agreement. It
was further reviewed that after Council discussion regarding the City of Orillia's continued
involvement with the airport and if the decision is to continue to be a partner, that Orillia
requests a review of the Joint Venture Agreement with the intent of updating the funding
formula. The accompanying City of Orillia staff prepared report suggests that as the City
of Orillia's rate of growth has been much less than that of each the City of Barrie and the
Township of Oro- Medonte, that the City of Orillia funding share could change from the
current 16.32% to 16.05% - a net change of less than 113 of a percentage point. General
discussion.
6.0 NEW BUSINESS /CORRESPONDENCE
All additional correspondence as presented was reviewed.

Committee of Adjustment Application No. 2007 -13-17
We are opposed to the application for severance noted above for the following
reasons:
the severance and road construction are in conflict with the wishes of the
residents of Shanty Bay and the Council of the Township of Oro- Medonte,
who have shown by their unprecedented support of their purchase of The
Church Woods that they wish to preserve the environment in its natural
state where possible.
the construction of a road to the severed and retained lots will result in the
destruction of hundreds of trees which are contiguous to The Church
Woods. The permanent loss of these trees will result in loss of wildlife
habitat and will threaten the wildlife corridor extending from Barrie to
Orillia.
• the residents of Shanty Bay do not want Bay Street extended.
• the approval of this severance application and the extension of Bay Street
will be precedent setting: the door will open to further applications for
severance on both sides of the extended Bay Street.

the severance and road construction are in conflict with the wishes of the
residents of Shanty Bay and the Council of the Township of Oro - Medonte,
who have shown by their unprecedented support of the purchase of The
Church Woods by The Couchiching Conservancy that they wish to preserve
the environment in its natural state where possible.
the construction of a road to the severed and retained lots will result in the
destruction of hundreds of trees which are contiguous to The Church
Woods. The permanent loss of these trees will result in loss of wildlife
habitat and will threaten the wildlife corridor extending from Barrie to
Orillia.
the residents of Shanty Bay do not want Bay Street extended,
the approval of this severance application and the extension of Bay Street
will be precedent setting; the door will be open to further applications for
severance on both sides of the extended Bay Street.
this application has such serious consequences that it should not be decided
by the Committee of Adjustment; it should have been referred by staff' to
the Planning Advisory Committee of the Township of Oro- Medonte and

Michael P Coley.
326, Blueberry Marsh Road,
RR 1, Midland,
Ontario. L4R 4K3.
July 2°d 2007.
We are Michael and Janet Coley (Roll No.4346- 020 -007 -00102 -0000)
Of Oro - Medonte Township. Our property was purchased in 1989 and our house built in
1997.
Legal description:- CON 3 PT 16. RP51R7164 Parts 3 & 4.
During the first years our property located at the dead end of Blueberry Marsh Road was
quiet and idyllic. However during the last 4 years there has been a sharp escalation in
" Off Road Vehicles" racing down our road and fence line. At times the noise and smell
from these vehicles is a real intrusion into our otherwise peaceful existence!
In questioning some of these people as to where they come from we find that they come
from as far away as Waverley, WyeBridge and Midland. And that they are using this
"Trail" to gain access to the Simcoe County Forest located at the comer of Hwy No 93
and Simone Road No 19. Their numbers have increased significantly this past year and
their activity is spoiling our enjoyment of our property!
Please be advised that the North/South portion of Blueberry Marsh Road is concession
No.2 of the Township of Oro - Medonte. There is a portion of Concession No.2 which runs
along our fence line and is owned by the Township. It is a very steep hill which is
probably why it has never been developed by the Township as a continuation of
Blueberry Marsh Road. There is a definate possibility of a serious injury involving one
or more of these young riders on dirt bikes racing up and down this hill! They are for the
most part riding on "Un- Licenced" vehicles with careless abandon.
This undeveloped section is largely bush and that is part of the attraction to these careless
users who display no regard for the disturbance they cause.
May we put forward a suggestion for council's consideration in helping us to resolve this
Untenable situation.
Item 1,
Positioning of barriers at each end of this "Un- assumed Township property" along our
fence line.
Item 2,
Signs to be installed at each end stating that this land is closed to recreation vehicles by
the Township of Oro- Medonte.
We feel that the barriers are necessary because the terrain cannot be properly policed or
monitored.
The cost of these signs and barriers we would gladly undertake we ask only for the
Township's installation of same!
Is it possible for the appropriate Township representative to meet with us to review and
discuss our concerns on sight?
Further to the above we would welcome the opportunity to meet with council to present
our case and support our claim with relevant data and photograph's.
Respectfully submitted, yours sincerely,
Michael and Janet Coley.

Subject: Letter to council - Road Allowance Line 2 North
Date: July 6, 2007
Attent it
In our last correspondence to council, we requested that the un- opened road allowance known as
Line 2 North be closed to hunters. We are still waiting for an official reply. It is our hope that we
might also receive a response detailing the thought process that the council undertook to come to
its decision. The councils closed door clandestine discussions seem to yield only vague replies. For
example, take the reply we received to our last request. "The road is being used by local farmers ".
Which farmers are you referring to? Which members of the council spoke with these phantom
"farmers "? If the councils concern in selling the road to us is the multitude of farmers who
allegedly use the road, we would be happy to provide these farmers with deeded access road.
They could use the road any time that they need to access their fields. How many council members
took the time to visit the site and walk the entire length of the road before voting against our
request? If the council is concerned about limiting the local farmer's access, we would be happy to
discuss the matter with the farmers and the council and together I am confident we can come to a
reasonable compromise. Why is the council opposed to finding a compromise to this issue?
Which brings us to the council's unofficial response to our recent request. Hunting on the road
allowance. Can the council please draft and sign a document stating that it supports the
recreational killing of animals and the discharge of firearms within 66 feet of playing children. Once
again, for those members who have walked the 66 foot wide road allowance, they clearly would be
able to see the potential danger of firing weapons across the road way. How could any reasonable
person vote in favour of continuing to allow hunters to use the road allowance? The OPP recently
visited the site after a hunter set up his gear along the road. They strongly recommended we steer
clear of the area. One of the officers stated, "I wouldn't let me kids anywhere near this place."
Will the council please explain its wisdom in this matter. With hunters prowling around the road
allowance, should my children and I still use our farm? What exactly does the council recommend?
I recently contacted the County of Simcoe regarding this matter. Graeme Davis replied,
"Unopened road allowances are generally the property and responsibility of the local municipalities. I would
suggest that they may be utilized to access available lands however it would not be appropriate to hunt within
these areas specifically."

For your information, this year I spoke with one of the hunters and explained that my three year
old child is playing in the immediate area and that hunting in the proximity of children is
irresponsible. His reply? "I don't care. I am allowed to hunt here." As far as I understand, the
council does not care either. You will not sell me the land. You will not rent me the land. You will
not lease me the land. You will not prohibit hunting on the land. What would you have us do?

Trail guidebook project for Simcoe County municipalities
Huronia Trails and Greenways [HTG] is a registered, not- for -profit charitable corporation, dedicated to the
promotion, development and sustainability of trails in Simcoe County. Our objectives include the
promotion and provision of healthy and affordable recreation alternatives, the education of the public/trail-
users in regard to ecologically responsible trail usage, and the protection of trail corridors as part of the
natural environment. Together, these motives form a mosaic of improved health, with superior economic
and ecologic advantages for all Simcoe residents. Within this mandate, HTG is working to promote trails
in Simcoe County, and specifically in Oro Medonte as well.
One of our current projects includes the reprinting of our Loop Trail Guidebook, along with the creation of
a similar guidebook for Linear (A to B) Trails. A copy of our current Loop Trail Guidebook is included with
this letter for your perusal. The Guidebook provides information to current and potential trail users. This
colourful and informative resource raises awareness about trails throughout Simcoe County, across
multiple municipalities. The maps within the Guidebook lay out directions, points of interest and historical
information, for those ready to explore. The Guidebook facilitates persons of all ages and abilities to
access trails for health, appreciation and enjoyment. Furthermore, the trail(s) in Oro Medonte promoted
by the Guidebook attract visitors and tourists, who in turn provide economic benefits for your community.
The latest edition of the Loop Trail Guidebook has been distributed through your local library and other
sources. The Guidebook has proved so popular that we have exhausted 20,000 copies in less than 1
year, and a reprint is necessary. At the same time, we anticipate our Linear Trail Guidebook, which will be
published this fall, to enjoy similar popularity. As such, HTG is in need of your help in offsetting production
costs. As your municipality has a trail(s) in our Loop Trail Guidebook and /or in the new Linear Guidebook,
the residents of Oro Medonte stand to gain directly from our ongoing promotion.
HTG is hopeful of a mass printing in September of this year, with concurrent production of both
Guidebooks. To reach this target, your assistance is vital. In this light, HTG is asking for a donation of
$500 to aid in printing costs, while cartography and graphic design costs are covered under a Trillium
Foundation grant. Your contribution will be acknowledged through a press release and media sources.
We await your reply to this request. If you have any questions, you may direct inquiries to myself at the
numbers below.

Subject: Sugar Bush park
To Mayor and council:
1. 1 appreciate the Sweetwater Park plans that include a multi - purpose pad with boards as well as a multi -use
space that can also be used for an ice rink.
With a warming climate and unpredictable winters, I would suggest that these rinks have pipes to ensure they can
maintain the ice and extend the skating seasons.
I would also suggest a twin pad (or 2) so that folks can safely play shinny alongside those skating. I like the idea
of boards and would recommend that boards also separate twin pads.
Might I also suggest that township staff (vs. volunteers) maintain the ice pads. This would ensure their ongoing
maintenance and use.
2. 1 was disappointed in your response to my previous letter about logging in Simcoe County forests. My main
concern is that the logging operations do not, and should, consider other users when cutting trees. The folks who
logged the Tustin Tract (off Line 5, north of H.V. Road) destroyed several biking/ walking trails (including sections
of the Ganaraska Trail) used and maintained by volunteers. They cut trees along the trails and left branches
across the trails, making them unusable and dangerous. Please ensure that such logging operations consider
other users in the future. I have major concerns about apparent planned logging operations in the bush at the end
of Line 6 in Sugar Bush. Such a beautiful hardwood forest should be preserved for future generations, not logged
for a few thousand dollars.
Again, you failed to let me know how much the county makes in its logging operations. If logging should proceed,
the numerous trails within the bush should be preserved and/ or at least cleared of brush.
I believe there should be more public consultation about logging in Simcoe County forests. Planned logging
should be posted/ advertised and public comment allowed, similar to planned developments. That way, the
logging companies would be aware of other users and take their needs into concern.
3. 1 have major concerns about permitting ATVs, moto -cross motorcycles and snowmobiles (but that seems a lost
cause) in Simcoe County forests. They are dangerous to other users. Such two -cycle machines are
also disruptive to the terrain and tranquil environment for animals and humans. They also release toxic fumes that
contribute to global warming and should be discouraged.
If banned, regular patrols should occur to enforce such a ban.
Better patrols along township and county roads (such as Sugar Bush where ATVs regularly use the roads) should
enforce the bylaw that bans ATV use on them. This bylaw should not be changed or amended to permit ATVs on
roads - they are a safety hazard for other motorists and pedestrians as well as a noisy, polluting menace to
residents.
4. For safety reasons, (and to end the waste and noise pollution created by hunters) hunting should also be
banned in Simcoe County forests, especially those close to residential areas such as Sugar Bush.
5. The township and county should not permit hunting on Sundays. Others need at least one day of respite
from the dangers and noise created by hunters.
6. 1 disagree with my tax dollars going towards Horseshoe Resort in the form of a $5,000 -grant for fireworks.
Surely the owners of such a successful company can afford to buy fireworks for their guests! Besides, the
township should be taking a lead on envirnmental issues by helping to transform thinking about ending such
activities as fireworks that create noise (unwanted by many of Horseshoe's neighbours such as myself) and air
pollution for frivolous enjoyment.
7. Speaking of taking an envirnmental lead - how about moving ahead with bylaws that ban pesticide use and
idling (especially for township staff).
8. Please pass concerns #2 -5 along to the person in charge of the county's logging operations and pass along
their contact information again to me.
Please get back to me on all these issues. Thanks,
Jim Purnell

Subject: Ripping of brush along township roads
Attention: Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Council Members and Roads Department
I am writing with regards to the ripping of brush alone the road side. They way the township is doing it, it certainly makes
our road sides ugly. I watched the grader go up our concession road the other day, ripping out the brush with whatever
unit is attached to the grader.
It leaves a terrible looking job, damages mature trees, leaves an ugly, twisted mess that looks like some tornado went
through.
If the Township wants to cut the brush, why don't they cut the brush down with something like a blade unit that trims
hedges and attach a chipper to feed the brush through and blow the chips back into our ditches to decay. This would be
a nicer looking job and still would be putting the wood pieces back into our environment.
As it stands right now, as you can see from the pictures, the brush is laying there, some of it on the roads, with twisted
ugly looking stumps to admire, certainly does not beautify the township.

Subject: Carley Community Hall – Kitchen Renovation and Fundraising Financials
On behalf of the Carley Community Hall Board, I wish to thank you for your generous support of Carley
Hall which has enabled us to complete fifty percent of the planned kitchen renovations. I also wish to
thank the Council for allocating Carley Hall an additional $4,000 to complete the renovations, provided
Carley raises 50 % of this amount. The Board believes a completed kitchen will result in additional hall
rentals, which in turn can be applied toward Carley Hall's operating costs.
In order to expedite the urgently required kitchen renovations, this letter serves to respectfully
ask Council to consider providing the full amount of $4,000 in advance of us completing our
fundraising efforts, with the understanding that Carley Hall will fundraise our required
50 %— $2,000—by the end of 2007.
So far, with the Township's help, we have been able to install a stainless triple compartment sink, a hand
sink with stainless counter top, stainless shelving, and a steel storage cabinet, and to perform upgrades to
the kitchen and bathroom plumbing. To finish the kitchen so that it meets code, we need to replace
flooring, update the electrical system, install an exhaust fan, and purchase and install new kitchen
cabinets.
We are an eager and enthusiastic Board with a host of fresh and new fundraising and community service
ideas. The following table provides a list of our annual fundraising events as well as the revenue
generated from these events the last time each was held.

Based on our past fundraising performance, we are confident we will raise the required $2,000 by the
end of the year. Thus, we respectfully ask you and the Council to provide, in the short term, the $4,000
needed to complete the renovations so that we can move forward to new and exciting events at Carley
Hall, and to share our understanding that Carley Hall is both capable and committed to raising the
required funds over the second half of this year to cover our 50 %.
As Board members, we are strongly committed and dedicated to ensuring Carley Hall remains a vibrant
entity in our tiny rural community. We truly believe that we are all working together towards the best
outcome for Carley Hall.
On behalf of the Board

Dear Mayor Hughes and Township Council,
I am the owner of a small farm at Lot 16 Concession 1 in the Township of Oro -
Medonte. At the corner of my property there is a small piece of land owned by the
Township, known as Part 2 Plan 51R-1522 as well as an unused road allowance. I
would like to suggest to Council that I be allowed to purchase these lands from the
township.
This piece of land is relatively small and undesirable, and is currently unused. As the
only adjacent land owner I would like to be considered as a potential purchaser who
can see more potential value to the property than any other. The land in question
has little potential for future use, and is currently overgrown with weeds and garbage,
as no one looks after it. Selling it would not only bring revenue and additional tax
dollars to the township, but would also improve the overall appearance of the area,
making other property owners in the area happy, without causing additional
responsibility to the Township.
Please consider my request to purchase the land known as Part 2 Plan 51 R -1522
as well as the unused road allowance combined together to make a new single
property. I would be happy to work together however necessary to make application
and get approval for the sale and be responsible for any costs to do so. I can be
reached at the address below or by phone at 705 - 721 -0567.

Purpose of the EAC Symposium:
The annual EAC Symposium provides an opportunity for representatives of Ontario's
growing family of Environmental Advisory Committees to:
• participate in "big picture" thinking and discuss issues that need to be worked out in
our respective municipalities
- be inspired by what other EACs and /or local individuals or groups are doing to
conserve and enhance our environment
pick up suggestions, insights, and tools that will enhance the effectiveness of EACs
4 share success stories and seek advice on common problems and challenges
network with other E.A.C. members, municipal councillors, and support staff
Theme of the 2007 Symposium:
Building sustainable communities and conserving our environment are not solitary
pursuits. Rather, they are best accomplished by networks of individuals, agencies,
businesses, and organizations working in collaboration. As we address environmental
issues as a community, we become more innovative and more aware of one another
and of our environment. This is essential to building more sustainable and livable
communities.
As members of the Region's EEAC returned from the excellent 2006 EAC Symposium
in Kingston thinking about the Symposium they would themselves host in 2007, the
phrase face -to -face, kept coming to mind as an expression which seems to capture this
idea in concrete fashion. This led to the selection of the theme of the 2007
Symposium: Face -to- Face -to -Face, the ongoing, ever - expanding networks of people
working for the environment.

Sensitive Landscapes
- be introduced to the emerging discipline of road ecology and its implications for
preserving and enhancing local biodiversity
• share the achievements, challenges, and opportunities of other Environmental
Advisory Committees across the Province
explore the possibility of developing a more formal organisation and /or clearinghouse
for Ontario's EACs , and potentially establishing a working group to bring this about
• enjoy opportunities to network informally with members of other Ontario EACs
announce the venue for the 2008 EAC Symposium
* go on a bus tour of some of Waterloo Region's finest natural areas, if numbers warrant
• enjoy the hospitality of Waterloo Region at a beautiful time of year

BACKGROUND:
The Municipal Act, 2001, came into force on January 1, 2003. Section 268 of the Act required that
every municipality with the authority to sell land shall pass a by -law establishing procedures, including
the giving of notice to the public, governing the sale of land.
The Township enacted By -law No. 2003 -125, being a by -law to establish a procedure governing the
sale of land, on the 26th day of November, 2003.
The Province introduced Bill 130, Municipal Statute Law Amendment Act, 2006, on June 15, 2006.
Bill 130 received Royal Assent on December 20, 2006, and, with the exception of a few sections,
came into force on January 1, 2007.
The sections of Bill 130 which did not come into force on January 1, 2007, have been proclaimed to
come into force on January 1, 2008.
When Bill 130 came into force on January 1, 2007, it repealed Section 268 of the Municipal Act,
2001.
Section 113 of Bill 130 provides that a municipality shall adopt and maintain policies with respect to
its sale and other disposition of land. This section has been proclaimed to come into force on
January 1, 2008.
ANALYSIS:
To ensure legislative compliance with the Municipal Act, as amended by Bill 130, the Clerk has
prepared Draft By -law No. 2007 -083, being a By -law to Establish a Policy /Procedure with respect to
the Sale and Other Disposition of Land, (Attachment #1), for Council's consideration.
The following is a synopsis of the new /expanded sections of the by -law, which are not included in the
current Sale of Land by -law.
Section 1 of Draft By -law No. 2007 -083 has been added to provide Definitions with respect to the
terminology utilized in the by -law.
Section 4 of Draft By -law No. 2007 -083 has been added to exclude the sale of lands to public bodies,
and land exchanges required for municipal purposes, from the procedures outlined in Schedule "A" of
the by -law. Council will still be required to declare the lands surplus through a resolution, and the
sale /land exchange will be formalized by by -law, but there will not be a requirement to publish notice
of the intended sale or obtain an appraisal.
Section 2 — Appraisal — of Schedule "A" to Draft By -law No. 2007 -083 has been expanded to clearly
identify the class of lands that the Township shall not be required to obtain an appraisal, unless
Council deems it desirable to do so. The current Sale of Land by -law referenced that "for those
properties specifically excluded from appraisal by the Municipal Act, S.O. 2001, c.25, as amended,
Section 268(8) ". The class of lands identified in sub - section 2.2.1 to 2.2.6 inclusive represents the
lands identified under Section 268(8) prior to its repeal.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. THAT Report No. ADM 2007 -018 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the Clerk bring forward Draft By -law No. 2007 -083 for Council's consideration.

Mayor Harry Hughes & Councillor Dwight Evans
Blackman Street to the Park
Background:
At the June 20, 2007 council received the attached email regarding the
promenade path from Blackman Street to the park.
There was universal agreement to move the bollards that are now located at
the entrance to the park. These bollards are to be moved elsewhere on the
promenade to stop up and close a section where the abutting homes have
road access from the Lakeshore.
The part of the Promenade from Blackman to the Park has a relatively flat
road -like hard surface and grass on each side. This section has not
experienced washouts. This surface is firm and suitable for wheel chair use.
At the entrance to the Park there is a slope that has experienced washouts
and prevents accessibility by wheel chair.
Originally consideration was given to pave the section of the Promenade that
was to be stopped up and closed including the slope at the park entrance.
Councillor Evans, Mayor Hughes and Jerry Ball agreed to meet with the
residents as requested by the email of June 18"
Councillor Evans and Mayor Hughes visited the site and spoke with one of
the residents. Discussions were also held with the other two residents who
were unanimous in their request to only pave the sloped area entering the
Park.
Discussions with Jerry Ball also took place regarding this request.
Recommendations:
1. That the section of the promenade from the new location of the
bollards to the park remain in its currents state. The exception being
that it could be narrowed to approximately four (4) feet in width to
act as a walking or wheel chair accessible path.
2. That the sloped area subject to washout into the park be paved.

R.M. File #:
T08 -25505 v -002
Date:
Roll #:
Correspondence dated June 2, 2007 was received from Rita Kovacs, on behalf of the Carthew Bay
Ratepayers Association (attached), requesting consideration being given to reduce the existing 50
km /h speed limit along Lakeshore Road East from Line 14 South to Maplewood Parkway, to 40 km /h.
This 600 metre section of Lakeshore Road East is a residential zone with an ADDT of approximately
800 to 1,000 vehicles, per day, during the summer months. Approximately 50% of this road section
fronts onto Carthew Bay's waters edge, which is used by local residents and tourists for swimming
and boating activities. There are also a substantial number of pedestrians that utilize this road for
recreational purposes or to access the local store.
Considering all of the above usages and the fact that this is a narrow residential road along the
shoreline, it is recommended that Lakeshore Road East at Carthew Bay be reduced to a 40 km /h
zone to remain consistent with the existing 40 km /h speed limit posted on Eight Mile Point Road,
which is adjacent to Lakeshore Road East.
S
RECOMMENDATION(S): II
1. THAT Report No. PW2007 -07 be received and adopted.
2. THAT Lakeshore Road East from Line 14 South to Maplewood Parkway, be reduced to a 40 km /h
zone.
3. THAT the Clerk be authorized to add Lakeshore Road East from Line 14 South to Maplewood
Parkway, to the existing 40 km /h speed zone By -law.
4. THAT the Public Works Department installs the necessary signage.
5. AND THAT the Public Works Superintendent advises Ms. Rita Kovacs of Council's decision
accordingly.

Hello,
I am sending you this e-mail on behalf of the Carthew Bay Ratepayers Association to discuss with council that the
speed limit at Lakeshore Rd. along Carthew Bay be reduced from 50 km. to 40 km.
The three -way stop signs at the 14th line and Lakeshore Rd. intersection are largely not respected. There is a
tendency from drivers to speed from the Carthew Bay Store to Eight Mile Point Rd. Visible police patrols are
minimal and should be increased. Since this is a recreational area it attracts swimmers, boaters, bikers and
walkers. There have been numerous near - misses.
Council's consideration of this request would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Rita Kovacs

COUNTY OF SIMCOE
ITEM FOR: CORPORATE SERVICES COMMITTEE
SECTION: Transportation
ITEM NO. CS 07 -112
MEETING DATE: May 9, 2007
SUBJECT: Update of the County of Simcoe's by -law to regulate the eonsttuction,
alteration or change in the use of any private or public entranceway,
gate or other structure or facility that permits access to a County Road.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT the necessary by -law be presented to Council, substantively in the form attached as
Schedule I to Item CS 07 -112, to repeal and replace By -law No. 4206 as amended, being a by-
law to regulate the construction, alteration or change in the use of any private or public
entranceway, gate or other structure or facility that permits access to a County Road.
BACKGROUND:
The County Entrance By -law 4206 was enacted on February 15, 1996 under section 63 of t ie
Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act. This section of the Public Transpor'ation
and Highway Improvement Act has since been repealed and County staff has been working o
update the by -law so that it conforms to current legislation as well as County entrance standards
and policies. The updated by -law has also been circulated to County legal representatives Rr
comment and input received is included. Some of the main changes made to the new entrance by-
law are as follows:
• Reference to current legislative authority;
• Expanded Definitions section;
• Provision to limit access to one entrance for existing residential lots;
• Authority to hear appeals will be delegated to Corporate Services Committee;
• New penalties under the Provincial Offences Act and the Municipal Act;
• A new Entrance Permit Application Fee Schedule has been attached to the by -law; znd
• A new Application for Entrance Permit has been created and is recommended for us,.
(please see Schedule 2)
Authority is now granted to County Council under section 27 and 35 of The Municipal Act, 7001,
S.O., 2001, c, 25, to pass a by -law to prohibit or regulate the construction, alteration or change in
the use of any private or public entranceway, gate or other structure or facility that permits access
to a County Road in respect of highways in its jurisdiction or under joint jurisdiction.
A `Definitions' section has been added to the updated by -law to assist with the understanding of
terminology used within the by -law. This type of section is common to many by -laws and f -rms
the knowledge needed for interpretation.
Over the years of administering the current by -law, experience has shown one of the more
common requests from land owners is to install a second entrance to an existing lot. Even tt Hugh

f
May 9, 2007 Corporate Services Committee Item CS 07 -112 Page 2
it has always been policy to limit the number of entrances, it is felt including this clause in the by-
law reduces any confusion. Entrances are limited to improve road safety by limiting the number
of conflict points and to reduce maintenance requirements.
With the repeal of the existing entrance by -law 4206 and the adoption of this updated by-kw any
person who contravenes any of the provisions contained in the by -law is guilty of an offence and
upon conviction is liable to a fine as provided for in the Provincial Offences Act, R.S.O.1990, as
amended, and such fine is recoverable under Provincial Offences Act, R.S.O.1990. This is a new
section granting the ability to lay fines if necessary. As with all road related by -law issues, first
attempts will always be to negotiate an acceptable agreement.
Section 391 of The Municipal Act, 2001, authorizes the municipality to impose fees and charges
on persons for services or activities provided or done by or on behalf of it; for cost payable by it
for services or activities provided or done by or on behalf of any other municipality or any local
board; and for the use of it's property including property under it's control.
The entrance permit application fees have been increased to reflect the true costs of issuing an
entrance permit and include inspection of the site, permit issuance and administration and
compliance monitoring. The fees are similar to our member lower -tier municipalities and
surrounding Regions, Counties and Districts. Fees for appeals and exception requests have also
been included.
The attached by -law will facilitate the effective enforcement of Entrance By -law requirements
throughout the County of Simcoe.

There are no financial implications to this Item.

T07 -25723 v -002
Roll #:
Date:
Correspondence dated May 8, 2007 from Mr. Bradley Ingleton (attached) was received at the regular
Committee of the Whole meeting held on May 16, 2007 requesting that the morning time frame for
no parking along Line 15 North, just south of Hwy. #12 along the beach at Bass Lake, be changed
from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.
Presently, there is a "No Parking" zone on the east side of Line 15 North within the beach area. On
the west side, which fronts onto the waters edge, there is a 200 metre parallel parking zone to
accommodate swimmers during the summer months. However, this parking zone is restricted to no
parking from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. daily. This time frame was applied to the By -law to assist with
the control of late night parties and vehicle disturbance to the local residents.
ANALYSIS:
Mr. Bradley utilizes this parking area and beach to launch a rowing shell, which at times is prior to
7:00 a.m. when parking is prohibited. As this time restriction has resulted in less parking problems
and the fact that there is no By -law enforcement at this time of the day, it is recommended that the
parking time zone remain status quo. This would allow Mr. Bradley parking within this zone prior to
7:00 a.m. and new signs would then not be required for the beach area.
RECOMM
1. THAT Report No. PW2007 -09 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the existing morning time frame for "No Parking" along the beach area of Bass Lake on
Line 15 North remains at 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
3. AND THAT Mr. Bradley be notified of Council's decision accordingly.

C. OFW.
As a tax paying resident of the township of Oro - Medonte I would like to make a request
to chanee the current no- parking bylaw on Line 15 just south of Hwy 12 along the beach
at Bass Lake. The current bylaw states no parking from I 1 pm to 7 am. I would like to
request that the morning time be changed from 7 am to 6 am. The reason for my request
is that I use that location to launch my rowing shell and at times I would like to row prior
to 7 am.
The few boats I have seen at this location have only been non - motorized (rowing
shells /canoes/ kayaks) and therefore create no noise or pollution to impact the nearby
residents.
Please consider my request to improve access to and availability to one of Oro- Medonte's
natural recreational resources.
Sincerely,

INTENT OF REPORT
The intent of this report is to review the proposals received to complete the engineering
component of the Craighurst Secondary Planning process. A further intent is to make a
recommendation on which firm should be retained and under what conditions.
SCOPE OF WORK
Letters were sent on June 7, 2007 to the following firms:
1. KMK Consulting
2. RV Anderson Associates Limited
3. Totten Sims Hubicki Associates
On June 29, 2007, KMK indicated that due to workload issues, they would not be able to submit a
proposal.
In the Request for Proposal (RFP), it was asked whether the identified engineering firm would
have an interest in completing the required engineering work to support the preparation of a
Secondary Plan for the Community of Craighurst.
0
It was noted in the RFP that a considerable amount of background work had already been
completed in support of the Secondary Plan, in the form of a report prepared by Trow
Engineering dated March 4, 2005. This report reviewed sewer, water, stormwater management
and traffic issues in the Secondary Plan area. From a servicing perspective, the report identified
a number of feasible options with respect to sewage disposal and water supply, However, a
recommended option was not identified. It was also noted that a comprehensive Environmental
Background Report prepared by Niblett Environmental Associates Inc. dated August 2000 had
also been prepared. Lastly, it was noted that the Township has also carried out a comprehensive
hydrogeological assessment and a Natural Heritage Assessment of the Oro Moraine in the last
four years.
The Ministry of Environment has previously reviewed the Trow report and is of the view that the
report properly characterizes the existing situation and identifies a number of feasible options,
particularly with respect to water supply and sewage disposal. However, the MOE has
recommended to the approval authority (the County of Simcoe) that the Secondary Plan be
supported by a Class Environmental Assessment that is integrated within a Planning Act process
(as set out in Section A2.9.2 of the June 2000 Class EA process document) which reviews water,
sewer and stormwater management issues collectively.
In this regard, the RFP indicated that the Township is now interested in completing the project,
substantially in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Environment. It was noted
that it is hoped that the work completed to date by Trow will satisfy most of the Section A2.92 a)
and b) and some of A2.92. c) requirements.
The RFP indicated that all proposals should clearly indicate what is perceived as being required
to complete the required background work to support the work required by Section A2.92. The
proposal should also identify the budget for completing the project and its timing. It was also
noted in the RFP that the Township requests that the work be completed by the end of 2007.
REVIEW OF PROPOSALS
As noted above, KMK declined to submit a proposal to complete the work. On this basis only two
firms prepared proposals in accordance with the Request for Proposal dated June 7, 2007.
Totten Sims Hubicki & Associates Submission
It is indicated in the Totten Sims Hubicki & Associates (TSH) proposal that they have reviewed
the existing background information and are satisfied that most of the requirements of the Class
Environmental Assessment process have been met, although there is a need to identify a
preferred solution and carry out some additional statutory public consultation. It is further
indicated that the Barrie office of TSH has a considerable amount of experience in Class
Environmental Assessments for similar projects. One such similar project is the West Shore
Water and Waste Water Treatment Plant in the Township of Severn (Cumberland Beach), TSH
has also been involved with the Coldwater Waste Water Treatment Plant and the Essa /Angus Mill
Street Water Treatment Plant and the McGeorge Water Treatment Plant Upgrades.
It is further indicated that they have very specific and relevant experience in the fields of waste
water treatment and disposal, water supply and treatment and stormwater management. It is
further noted that they have experience with transportation issues as well and that, while not
specifically identified in the RFP as a task to be completed, it is suggested by TSH that one of
F
their senior transportation engineers review the transportation component of the Trow Report in
detail and provide a summary of comments for inclusion in the EA documentation.
The TSH work program includes the following eight tasks.
1. Review all existing documentation in detail;
2. Meet with representatives from MOE very early in the process and obtain their buy -in on
the work plan and EA requirements;
1 Evaluate alternative solutions for sewer, water and stormwater management and identify
a preliminary preference for each. Review and summarize the transportation information
included in the Trow report and formulate comments and alternatives;
4. Since the last open house was in 2003, a public information centre should be held soon
after the meeting with MOE to advise local residents of the status and process to be
followed.
5. Determine the preferred solution for sewer, water and swm and confirm the applicable
Class EA Schedule;
6. Identify alternative design concepts for the preferred solutions.
7. Consult with review agencies and conduct a final public information centre; and,
8. Document the project, problems, solutions, consultation process and preferred solution,
in a manner to clearly justify the process and recommendations.
Throughout the above process regular team meetings would be held to review project status and
issues.
TSH is prepared to begin work immediately once they are retained. Assuming the project is
awarded in mid -July, TSH proposes that the project be completed by mid - December 2007. The
overall project manager is proposed to be Doug Timms, P.Eng. Mr. Timms is a senior project
manager and the Barrie office manager. Additional personnel include Rick Groves who was the
project manager responsible for the recently completed West Shore Water and Sewage Works
project in the Township of Severn, Yousef Saigh, who will be responsible for stormwater
management and Al Lees, a civil technologist with over 30 years of experience in the field of
municipal engineering and the primary contact person for the Township of Oro - Medonte at TSH
with respect to engineering matters.
In terms of costs it is proposed that the budget be set for the work identified at $29,995.00, not
including GST. Fees for the renting of hall facilities for public information centres and newspaper
advertisement would be paid directly by the Township. It is also noted that a hydrogeologist may
be required to provide advice and if such advice is required, the Township would be responsible
for the cost of this additional work. Given that Azimuth Environmental has carried out a
considerable amount of work already for the Township of Oro - Medonte it is suggested that they
be retained on an as- needed basis in the future as required.
RV Anderson Associates Limited Submission
It is indicated in the RV Anderson Associates Limited (RVA) proposal that they are of the opinion
that some form of advanced sewage treatment will likely be required to support the development
of a municipal sewage disposal system in Craighurst. On this basis they have added another firm
(Hydromantis Inc.) to the team to assist with some additional desktop process modelling. It is
further indicated that the principle objective of the engineering assignment is to develop and
evaluate options for waste water treatment and effluent disposal for a proposed treatment plant in
Craighurst and to obtain the appropriate support from the MOE for the preferred solution.
3
3
w'.f
The RVA proposal reviews a number of potential treatment options that are available in
Craighurst. It is indicated that, given their experience with the Horseshoe Valley Resort, they
have very good understanding of the options that may be available in Craighurst.
The following nine tasks are proposed:
1. Initiation meeting, data collection and review;
2. Meetings with the MOE;
3. Develop long list of options and evaluation criteria;
4. Workshop 1 — Present outcome of discussions with MOE;
5. Comparison costing and final evaluation;
6. Workshop 2;
7. Prepare material for public meeting;
8. Attend public meeting; and,
9. Final Report
It is noted that the work plan deals exclusively with waste water treatment and does not deal at all
with water supply or stormwater management. No public information centres, as required by the
Class EA process are identified.
It is noted that RVA team has a considerable amount of experience with waste water treatment,
based on their work in Sutton, Mount Albert, New Tecumseth, King City, Walkerton and a number
of other municipalities. RVA is currently retained by Horseshoe Valley Resort and is responsible
for assessing the current physical condition of the plant and investigating future options for
growth.
The work is proposed to be completed by the end of 2007. The RVA team will be led by Mr.
Vincent Nazareth, P.Eng. who has over 29 years of experience in the provision of consulting
engineering services in the field of environmental engineering. Assisting Mr. Nazareth will be
Mike Newbiging (the President of Hydromantis Inc.) John Slade, Lars Sterne and David Dunnett.
The proposed cost for completing the work is $39,620.00 not including GST. It is noted that there
may be a need for additional hydrogeological and archaeological work if required.
CONCLUSION
On the basis of a careful analysis of the proposals received, it is recommended that TSH be
retained to complete the work required to support the adoption and eventual approval of a
comprehensive Secondary Plan for the Craighurst community. This recommendation is based on
the fact that TSH:
• has the required experience particularly in the area of wastewater treatment;
• has a considerable knowledge of the Township and the Craighurst Community; and,
• can complete the project by the end of the year for a reasonable cost.
It is noted that while the RVA proposal is well done, the proposal does not deal with water supply
and stormwater management, both of which were specifically identified in the RFP as issues to
be addressed. In addition, the RVA proposal did not specifically indicate that public information
4
centres as required by the Class EA process would be held. Instead, two workshops were
proposed with a further public meeting.
The funds for the proposed engineering works have been included in the 2007 capital budget.
RECOMMENDATION
On the basis of the above, it is recommended:
1. THAT Report No. BP 2007 -026 be received and adopted.
2. THAT staff be authorized to retain the services of TSH Associates as outlined in the proposal
for engineering services for the Craighurst Secondary Plan dated July 2007.

4. Deputations:
Advertising Partnership:
Carol Benedetti gave a presentation regarding a proposed partnership between the
Township of Oro - Medonte Parks & Recreation Department and the Oro - Medonte
Chamber of Commerce wherein the Chamber would sell advertising. The advertising
would be displayed in the Oro - Medonte Community Arena on rink boards, arena walls
lobby benches and the ice resurfacer. Pricing would be per year based on a three year
mandatory contract. If the demand for advertising became large enough, it was
suggested that advertising could then be placed at Ball Diamonds, and at Bayview
Memorial Park. Carol indicated that only Chamber members would be targeted for
advertising and that the Chamber would receive 35% of the advertising revenue as their
fee with the additional 65% going to the Recreation Department
8
-
It was suggested that the target may be too narrow and that perhaps to entice Chamber
members to advertise a discounted price could be offered to them. It was further
suggested that a business card holder could be placed on the wall in the lobby and if
someone did not want to go to the expense of a large advertisement they could place
their business cards there for a nominal fee. Carol also discussed that the Township
would have an initial expense for the purchase of Lexan for the arena boards. To commence
this ice season there is a tight timeline.
RTS070614 -03:

5. Items for Consideration/Discussion:
Evaluation of Functioning — Councilor Crawford and Councilor Coutanche proposed developing
a evaluation to ensure that the committee was working towards goals. A template will be
prepared and will report back to group.
6. Correspondence:
None.
7. Unfinished Business:
(a) SCDSB Joint Use Agreement
Shawn informed that the agreement had to be revised since it was last presented
to the Group. More facility time (excluding the ice pad) had been given to the
schools. Council has received a report on the updated agreement and it was
adopted. The agreement will be going before the SCDSB early next week and we
are hoping to have it in place very soon as we are working on our fall programs
now and would like to include some school locations.
RTS070614 -04:
Moved by Mac Shiells, Seconded by Carolyn Tripp
It is recommended that the update on the Simcoe County District School Board Joint Use
Agreement given by Shawn Binns be received.
Carried
(b) Parkland Development Policy
Shawn indicated that the Director of Planning as well as the Clerk has requested
copies of Parkland Development Policies from the surrounding Municipalities.
Orillia has indicated that parkland development is handled on a "case by case"
basis. Barrie has indicated that their policy is quite comprehensive. Shawn
further informed the Group that this is a very busy time for all Parks and
Recreation Departments and we should not expect to receive answers until much
later.
RTS070614 -05
Moved by Carolyn Tripp, Seconded by Mac Shiells
It is recommended that the report on the Parkland Development Policy given by Shawn
Binns be received.
Carried
8. Other /New Business (information or request for future information):
(a) Recreation Fees
Shawn presented the proposed new schedule of facility rental fees to the group
and informed that because ice time was increased in 2006, it was not increased
on this schedule. However, he proposed that the timing of prime time be changed
to begin at 4:00 pm rather than 5:00 pm (other municipalities begin their prime time at 3:00
pm) and that all holidays be charged a prime time also. Shawn also pointed out
that we would be adding SOCAN (society of Composers, Authors & Music Publishers of
Canada) charges to applicable events. In the past we have absorbed this cost
which is actually lost revenue.
A discussion ensued and some of the salient points that were made were:
- AAA Icemen should be removed from the schedule
- it is better to have small incremental increases each year than to have a large
increase every X years.
- public skating is a loss leader and as such the fees should remain the same to
promote family activity
- floor rental fee should remain the same as we don't receive many bookings
- a sub committee should be struck consisting of two Group members and Shawn
Binns to look into minor sports organizations fees and expenditures.
Shawn indicated that as we are working on ice bookings now we need to have the
Clerk present the proposed increases to Council as soon as possible.
RTS070614 -06
Moved by Carolyn Tripp, Seconded by Mac Shiells
It is recommended that the presentation given by Shawn Binns regarding the Recreation
Facility Fee structure be received.
And further that it is recommended to Council that they give favorable consideration to the
draft 2008 Parks and Recreation fees as amended:
- prime time and non prime ice time to increase by 4%
- non ice rentals, public skating, banquet hall rentals be accepted as presented
And further that Bali Diamond and Soccer pitch rentals be deferred.
Carried
(b) Simcoe County Trails Program
Shawn informed the Group that the Huronia Trails and Greenways is rallying for a
"Trails Co- ordinator". Within Oro - Medonte we don't spend time linking with trails or
organizations beyond our boarders. If there was a Simcoe County Trails Co- ordinator,
trail management throughout the County would be much more consistent. At this point,
Huronia Trails and Greenways are only asking for support from Simcoe County
municipalities in the form of a Council resolution.
RTS070614 -07
Motion by Carolyn Tripp, Seconded by Mac Shiells
It is recommended that the presentation given by Shawn Binns regarding the Simcoe county
Trails Program be received.
And further that Council give favorable consideration to drafting a resolution supporting the
County initiative in creating a County Trails Program.
Carried.
(c) Arena Board Advertising
RTS070614 -08
Motion by Mac Shiells, Seconded by Carolyn Tripp
It is recommended that Council give favorable consideration to entering into a partnership
with the Oro - Medonte Chamber of Commerce regarding the sale of advertising displayed
within a recreation facility.
Carried.
(d) Summer Recess
Shawn proposed that the Group recess for the months of July and August as had
been done in the past. It was suggested that the Group had several projects which
needed their attention i.e. Sweetwater Park and Line 4 Park
The Group should meet again on June 26th to review the latest public input regarding
Sweetwater Park as recommendations should go to Council for their meeting on July
18th

BACKGROUND:
At the Committee of the Whole meeting of May 2, 2007 Council passed Motion CW070502 -9
authorizing staff to proceed with the development of a playground in Arbourwood Park within the
funds allocated in the 2007 budget.
Staff was authorized to liaise with residents to solicit input on the development and location of the
playground.
To solicit input from residents a letter was sent out to all property owners within the Arbourwood
community requesting written feedback on the proposed development of playground equipment
within Arbourwood Park (Bock 101).
The Recreation Master Plan — October 1, 1997, identifies the following for neighbourhood parks:
Section 4 .3 Classification of Parkland provides for the intent of a neighborhood park. Sub section
(a) states: "Neighborhood parks are intended to serve the immediate park and recreational needs of
people in a neighbourhood planning area through the provision of outdoor active and passive
recreational opportunities. Neighbourhood parks are not normally intended to attract significant
numbers of park users residing beyond the local neighbourhood planning area. Neighbourhood parks
also include tot lots, parkettes or other small parks and open space areas.
A
Facilities provided may include, but not be limited to, the following:
a) area for instructional activities;
b) playground apparatus;
c) ball courts & other courts;
d) landscaped areas, walkways, benches and tables.
Arbourwood Park
In 2006 the community volunteers prepared and submitted approximately fifty (50) questionnaires
soliciting comments from surrounding residents (including the neighbours abutting the park). The
input from residents indicated the desire to develop a playground in the Arbourwood subdivision.
To solicit input from residents a letter was sent out to all property owners within the Arbourwood
community requesting written feedback on the proposed development of playground equipment
within Arbourwood Park (Bock 101). A map of Arbourwood Park (Block 101) is attached
(Attachment 1) for reference. Of the approximate 95 letters sent out to residents, staff has received
responses from 3 households opposed to the development of a playground. Concerns were around
vandalism, and the desire to keep parkland as open space and for passive recreation i.e. park
benches, walking trails etc.
At the Recreation Technical Support Group meeting of June 26`" the group reviewed the playground
plans and feedback and recommended the development of a playground within Arbourwood Park
(Block 101).
It should also be noted that the parklands in Arbourwood have not yet been assumed by the
municipality however provisions in the subdivision agreement permit recreational development. The
Director of Engineering and Environmental services advised that the parklands will be assumed in
approximately two (2) years and that there are no issues with the development of a playground.
Staff has worked with the volunteer group to develop the design and selection of equipment of the
playground equipment being proposed.
It is recommended that Council give favourable consideration to the development of a playground
within the Arbourwood Park (Block 101) and that Block 102 and Block 103 (Red Oak Crescent)
remain as areas for passive recreation linking to the parkland to the Lake Country Oro- Medonte Rai!
Trail.
RECOMMENDATIONS :
1. That Report No. RC2007 -11 be received and adopted
2. That staff be authorized to proceed with the development of a playground in Arbourwood Park
(Block 101) on Basswood Circle

A letter was sent to all adjacent property owners requesting their input on the proposed playground
development in Ramey Memorial Park. Two responses were received in full support of the initiative.
Staff has liaised with the volunteer group to design the site and select the equipment for the
proposed development.
The Moonstone Volunteer Recreation Committee has completed their fundraising initiatives and has
committed their portion (50 %) for the funding to the playground development.
At the Recreation Technical Support Group meeting of June 26"' the group reviewed the playground
plans and feedback and recommended the development of a playground in Ramey Memorial Park.

BACKGROUND:
During the 2007 budget deliberations Council allocated funds based on a community initiated
request to construct an outdoor rink within the Harbourwood community.
On May 17`h• 2007 the Harbourwood / Shelswell park community volunteer committee hosted an
information night to discuss the possibility of the development of a playground and multi purpose pad
within the community. Approximately 20 people were in attendance with the majority of residents in
favcur of a multi- purpose pad.
As a follow up to the meeting, a letter was sent out by staff, to all residents south of Ridge Rd
between the Fifth line and the Seventh line informing them of the proposal to develop a multi - purpose
pad in the north section of Shelswell Park (Attachment #1), and requesting that their written input be
forwarded to staff for review.
ANALYSIS:
Proposed Multi- Purpose Pad in sneiswen rarK
The Recreation Master Plan - October 1, 1997, identifies the following for community parks:
Section 4 .3 Classification of Parkland provides for the intent of a Community park. Sub section
(b) states: "Community parks are intended to serve the recreational needs of people in a community
planning area through the provision of a range of outdoor and indoor recreational opportunities. .
Community Parks are primarily intended to accommodate active sports and recreational activities but
may also include areas for passive recreation.
Facilities provided may include, but not be limited to, the following: "'
a) Lighted sport, recreation or entertainment facilities;
b) Major and minor sports fields;
c) Ball courts & other courts;
d) Playground apparatus;
e) Landscaped areas for passive activities
f) Areas for unstructured use;
g) Parking areas;
h) Lighting, benches, picnic tables, restrooms, change rooms, walkways, and landscaping
The Recreation Master Plan also recommends that recreation facilities be developed to facilitate
multiple uses whenever possible to maximize usage.
From the community feedback received there were four responses received opposed to the
development of a multi- purpose pad in Shelswell Park, the following is a summary of concerns:
• Noise and possible vandalism
• Ongoing Maintenance
• Parking
• A Permanent Structure
The following would be implemented to address and control these concerns
Noise and Vandalism — The noise would be minimal as there would be no boards surrounding
the multi purpose pad reducing noise from pucks etc. The surrounding vegetation will provide a
sound buffer and will be pruned to improve visibility in wooded areas. Having a community
presence will reduce the potential for vandalism.
Ongoing Maintenance of the ice surface will be done by the community in partnership with the
Township. The Township would assume the responsibility of routine maintenance for the park
Parking area would be located in North Section of Shelswell Park which will reduce parking
issues in the waterfront portion of Shelswell Park and along adjacent sections of Lakeshore
Boulevard
A permanent structure: To not adversely affect the aesthetics of the area, the multi - purpose pad
would not have boards.
At the Recreation Technical Support Group meeting of June 26t" the group reviewed the feedback
and recommended the development of a Multi- Purpose Pad in Shelswell Park.
Taking into account the feedback from residents, the Recreation Technical Support Group, and
reviewing the Recreation Master Plan, it is recommended that Council give favourable consideration
to the development of a multi - purpose pad in the north section of Shelswell Park.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. That Report No. RC2007 -13 be received and adopted.
2. That staff be authorized to assist the community with fundraising initiatives.
3. That a Township account be set up and tax receipts be issued for donations towards the
Shelswell Park Multi- Purpose pad.
4. That once the community has raised the funds / donations in kind, as identified in the Capital
Parkland Development Policy, that staff be authorized to proceed with the development of a multi-
purpose pad in Shelswell park within the 2007 budget allocation.

It is recommended that Council give favourable consideration to Option #2. Sweetwater Park is a
being developed as a Township Park, with amenities to serve the Township. By creating the multi-
purpose pad with the refrigeration piping, the potential exists to install a refrigeration system and
extend the ice surface for approximately 4 months, making the park a winter destination for residents.
The design of the proposed building would also accommodate the need to store additional ice
maintenance equipment required for a refrigerated ice surface in the future. Additional expenses to
convert to a refrigerated system would include capital expenses for a shed or fencing to contain the
fi1-\
refrigeration units, the purchase of additional ice maintenance equipment and additional operational
expenses for energy use and staff time.
The addition of the pavilion could be added into the 2008 budget deliberations or developed at a later
date should the need arise.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. That Report No. #RC2007 -15 be received and adopted
2. That Council approve the final draft conceptual plan for Sweetwater Park as amended to include
a multi - purpose pad with refrigeration system piping, and the removal of the pavilion.
3. And that staff be authorized to proceed with the tendering for the development of Sweetwater
Park.
