Overview: The following is a factual background on when and how the property now known as Buffalo Springs was purchased and assembled by the original owner Bert Schumacher in the 1960's, developed into the Buffalo Ranch in the 1970's, proposed for subdivision in the late 1980's, and draft plan approved for subdivision in 1994. Included is a view of the changes in ownership and the developments progression from dormancy to its present status. The Background: Late 1960's Bert Schumacher, the original owner of the lands now known as Buffalo Springs, was known to locals as quite a colourful character. Ne purchased the East and West '12 of Lot 3, and the East'1~ of Lot 2 (approx. 330 acres} from the Beeton family. He later bought the West'/ of Lot 2 (100 acres} from the Department of Lands and Forests, forming a total land parcel of a rox. 430 acres. Early 1970's During his years of ownership Bert grew a few cash crops and later started the Buffalo Ranch -- offering guided tours of the property and buffalo herd to the public in his Volkswagen bus. He eventually disposed of the animals and abandoned this enterprise. Late 1980's Schumacher enquired at the Township of Oro (Bob Drury, Reeve) regarding the severance of some {5 acre} lots from the property. It was suggested he might alternatively develop a subdivision. Schumacher entered into a partnership agreement with Seeley- Arnill Aggregates ltd. and approached Oro Township Council with a comprehensive Plan of Subdivision, which Council approved. Mar 20,1989 Applications to amend Oro Township's Official Pian and Zoning By-Law were submitted. The original application sought approval for 372 single detached residences and 200 cluster residential units for a total of 572 units -later revised to 348 single detached lots. June 5 1989 A Special Public Meeting was held to introduce the Official Plan Amendment (OPA 39} and Zoning By-Law Amendment required to redesignate and rezone the lands from Agricultural, Rural and Environmental Protection; to allow the development of mixed residential units and a recreational complex. Ross Raymond (planning consultant) presented the plan to approximately 140 members of the public in a 2% hr. meeting. Ref. Minutes - OPA 39. ~~~ July 10 1989 A second Public Meeting was held at the (Oro} Guthrie Arena to provide additional information. 335 members of the public attended the 4 hr. meeting and were overwhelmingly opposed the plan. Ref. Minutes - OPA 39. Nov. 1990 Ministry of Natural Resources staked the Provincially Significanfi Wetlands on the property and prepared a survey to delineate the wetland boundaries. July 29,1991 Oro Council adopted the Official Plan Amendment (OPA 39}. This Amendment designated the Buffalo Springs property for development and included a settlement strategy for the Horseshoe Valley Road Corridor. The strategy was intended to direct new development in the corridor (between Craighurst and Prices Corners} to Craighurst, Horseshoe Valley Resort, Sugarbush, the Buffalo Springs site, Jarratt, and Prices Corners. The incorporation of such a strategy within the Official Plan was required to justify the creation of a new development area along Horseshoe Valley Road. Aug. 1991 Identification of on-site constraints led to a redesigned plan of subdivision further reducing the number of lots to 277. Aug 22,1991 Jarratt-Coulson Res. Assoc. appealed OPA 39 to the OMB. Oct. 7,1991 Oro Council adopted the Zoning By-Law Amendment. Oct. 21,1991 Jarratt-Coulson Res. Assoc. appealed the Zoning Amendment to the OMB. 1994 Amalgamation of Oro and Medonte Townships. Oct. 1994 Other developers seeking approval for residential subdivisions within the Horseshoe Valley Rd. Corridor (Sabiston*, Valdoro*} had their applications joined with the Buffalo Springs application intro one consolidated OMB hearing and Decision -Oct. 26, 1994. Oct. 1994 OMB approved the Official Plan and Zoning By-Law amendments but modified the Buffalo Springs proposed plan of subdivision from 277 to 230 lots and instituted a long list of draft plan conditions. Ref. Schedule IV, OMB File 43T-91031 -Oct. 14/94. While the other developers Sabiston*, Valdoro* slowly proceeded to deal with their conditions of draft plan approval, Buffalo Springs did not attempt to satisfy draft plan conditions. ~- 3 July 1996 Ben Schumacher (new owner) removes approx. 504 trees on the Buffalo Springs property contrary to OMB '94 Conditions regarding maintenance of the tree canopy and natural environment. Ref. Letters: July 31/96 MNR, Graham Findlay Sept. 3/96 Oro-Medonte, Mark Stagg, Staff' Planner. Feb. 1997 Oro-Medonte adopted an Official Plan containing a policy regarding existing draft plan approved residential subdivisions (Section J5}. The policies indicated that it was the intent of Council to ask the approval authority {MMAH at that time) to withdraw Draft Plan Approval after an appropriate period of time has elapsed if a subdivision was not proceeding to the development stage in an expeditious manner. Ref. Leigh Report PD 2445-449 -Feb. 8/45. Feb. 1999 Ben Schumacher {beneficiary) registersTrtle for Buffalo Springs. The Schumacher homestead {14 acres) is severed from the B. Springs property -where Ben Schumacher still resides. May 23 24440ro-Medonte becomes approval authority for all plans of subdivision and all draft plan approvals, not just new approvals at the time of delegation {Jan 3, 2440 - Simcoe County By-Law 4589} Mar 11 2443 PAC Meeting. In a report to PAC (supported by Council) Re: Section J5 of the Official Plan, Nick McDonald (Meridian Planning} recommended that the process to rescind the draft plan approval for B. Springs be started. A Sunset Clause was to be applied far the following reasons: 1) The landowner was not working on clearing the draft conditions. 2} The lands are not included within an identified settlement area and may not be supportable, given the current policy climate. 3} Development of the property on partial services is no longer supportable. 4) It would be much more appropriate to direct development to Craighurst instead of an area that is currently undeveloped on the Ora Moraine. PAC accepted the report and recommended to Council to proceed to a public meeting. ~4~ April 2 2003 Council Meeting. Council (on McDonald's advice} deferred a vote on the PAC recommendation (ta rescind}, since the property was then in the process of being sold. The new landowner had indicated to staff that they were interested in developing the property at a significantly lower density. On this basis, Council adapted a `wait and see' attitude with the proposed development. - 2003 - Georgian North Land buys Buffalo Springs property -unregistered. Ref. B. Clarkson letter (Oct. 18104} - "Prior to and following acquisition of the lands, Georgian entered into discussions with representatives of the Township...." May 5, 2003 Georgian began a 2 Yr. Monitoring Program (ground/surface water) for B. Springs property {Michalski Nielson Assoc.) re: OMB 1994. Dec 11 2003 Georgian North applied to construct a large {280 sq. metre) building to be located near and accessed from the 9t" Canc. The proposed By-law variance was found to be premature and the application refused re: McDonald report (A-44/03) to Committee of Adjustment. Dec 15 2003 Bill 26 {Strang Communities Act) takes effect (retroactively from Nov 24 2004 passing}. It effectively prevents the expansion of Settlement Nodes with no appeal to the OMB if the Municipality objects. In spite of recommendation by Jarratt-Couson to do so, Council does not obtain a legal opinion on the impact Bill 26 may have on its consideration of the Buffalo Spring development. Jan 28 2004 Georgian North Lands submitted an application to Oro-Medonte to amend the Zoning By-law {2004-ZBA-02} to permit the development of a (117) lat residential Plan of Subdivision - a revision to the OMB approved draft plan for 230 lots on the same property. The intent of the ZBA was to remove the holding symbol from the R1 *71(H} zone and recognize the revised lots sizes and frontages in an updated by-law. This ZBA application was later abandoned by Georgian. They also requested aged-Line Revision from the OMB to revise the draft approved plan of subdivision to 117 lots from the original 230. The OMB indicated it would not process the request until the Township formally commented on the re-zoning application and Red-Line request. Township does not comment. In the meantime, the Township granted `On 1-to/d'status to the Buffalo Springs Development at Georgian's request -effective January 2004. (March 31.04 A. Leigh Report -Development Application Status - pgs 3 and 6}. ~5~ The On-Hold status remains in place through subsequent Development Application Status Reports including the most recent Nov. 29, 2007. No .Sunset Clause was applied to Plan. March 2004 `In order to deal with concerns about the continued suitability of developing the western portion (wetlands) of the Buffalo Springs property, Georgian `optioned' the Johnston property, located on the north boundary of the B. Springs property, an the 9t" Concession.' Mar 8 2004 Georgian presented an alternative subdivision plan to PAC -the Johnston Option 3 -Version #1. The intent of this plan is to transfer the lots from the more environmentally sensitive portion of the B. Springs property to the Johnston property {81 lots were shown in a high density layout}. The total number of lots created in this Option would be (227} versus (230} in the original draft approved plan. Qn the recommendation of McDonald report PD2004-05 -Mar. 4, 2004, PAC and township staff requested that Georgian respond to the Azimuth Feb. 20, 2004 Peer Review comments on Stanton Environmental Report, and provide additional information for the next April 4th, PAC meeting. (PAC minutes -March 8/04) Mar 11 2004 Meeting of Coulson Environmental Monitoring Committee*. Michalski Nielson Assoc. reported on progress of Monitoring Program for B. Springs property re: OMB 1994 Condition. Mar 17 2004 Council overturned its earlier decision to rescind draft plan approval for the Buffalo Springs development via a Sunset Clause. Mar 18 2004 Nick McDonald (Meridian) and Township staff met with Brent Clarkson (Georgian) to discuss Georgian's dissatisfaction with the Peer Review Report and attempt to address PAC and Staff requirements for more information. Mar 29 2004 Clarkson indicated na response would be provided and they would not attend a meeting with Township staff scheduled for March 31/04. (See McDonald report to PAC - PD2004-11 -April 14104). Georgian refuses to apply current Environmental Policies to their 1994 Draft Plan Approval (even though the Johnston Option is a major revision}. April 2 2004 Jarratt-Coulson submitted an Issues List of concerns regarding the Johnston Option 3 -Version #1 to PAC and Georgian (Clarkson). Ref. PAC Agenda April 19/04 -Letter. ~6w April ~ 2004 Georgian (Clarkson) indicated by letter {Apr 8104.} that "Georgian does not believe that it is reasonable that the Township ask for the additional environmental analysis...." Apr 21 2004 Council Meeting. Jarratt-Coulson made a deputation to provide additional information regarding their opposition to B. Springs, Johnston Option 3 -Version #1. Ref. Minutes. Oct 13 2004 Georgian presented the Johnston Option 3 - #7, to Committee of the Whole and requests `approval in principal'subject to completion of technical studies. Not granted. Oct 18 2004 Georgian requested {in writing) Council's `approval in principal' for the Johnston Alternative before they will proceed with supportive technical studies and application for an OPA from Simcoe County. {ref. B. Clarkson letter) Nov 10 2004 Committee of the Whole Meeting - On the basis of McDonald Report PD2004-61 -Nov 3, 2004: Council advised Georgian of its `wi`llingness to consider'the Johnson Alternative, in order to limit the potential impact of the Buffalo Springs development. Report indicated that an application to amend Oro-Medonte's Official Plan and Zoning By-law would be required to facilitate the Johnston alternative. The applicant would also be required to submit all technical studies to support the Johnston Option for review and consideration by the Township as part of the application process. McDonald drew to Council's attention, the impact that Bill 26 may have on the consideration of Georgian's application to expand the Buffalo Springs development node. (Bill 26 states): A refusal by an approval authority (Township) to permit the expansion of an Area of Settlement (Node) cannot be appealed to the OMB. Further, the Lieutenant Governor of Council may restrict the powers of the OMB to make an order or decision in an Appeal respecting an Official Plan, an OPA, a zoning or Holding By-Law, if the Minister is of the opinion that all or part of the proposed amendment, plan or by-law adversely affects a matter of Provincial interest. (Class 1 wetlands are a matterof Provincial interest), ~7~ Dec 17 2004 Georgian (B. ClarksonlD. Bunston) met informally with Jarratt- Coulson board members to discuss the JIC`s Issues List (Apr. 2/04} and possible impravementslalternatives. Georgian offered to develop improvements to Version #1. Jan 20 2005 B. Clarkson forwarded {Email) another plan to Jarratt-Coulson for consideration /comment -Johnston ©ption 3 -Version #2. Jarratt- Coulson responded indicating they could not support the plan. Ref. letter -Feb. 28105. Oct 25 2005 Meeting of Coulson Environmental Monitoring Committee*. Michalski Nielson presented Interim Monitoring Report (Aug. 2005} for Buffalo Springs property re: OMB 1994. Accepted with notes. Apr 4 2006 Meeting of Coulson Environmental Monitoring Committee*. Michalski Nielson presented Fina/ Monitoring Report (Jan. 2006} for Buffalo Springs property re: OMB 1994. Acceptedlapproved. Nov 7, 2007 Gargano Development Corp. new registered owner of B. Springs. Jan 28 2008 Brent Clarkson representing the new owner Gargano, presented the latest development plan for B. Springs property to Committee of the Whole. This proposal reverts to the original (1994 OMB approved) Plan, but with a proposed road entrance to the development through the Johnston property on the 9~' Concession Clarkson also indicated the proponent expects to satisfy the Conditions of Draft Plan Approval (OMB Schedule IV), and to registerthe plan of subdivision in March 2008. Mar 7 2008 Ontario Land Registry records indicate the B. Springs property was transferred from Ben Schumacher (to} Georgian North Land Ltd., and from Georgian North Land (to) Gargano Development Corptn. on November 7, 2007. And, that the Johnston property is still registered to Lyle and Sharon Johnston as of that date. Apr 9 2008 Council Meeting - In B. Hoppe Report BP 2008-019-Apr 9108, Buffalo Springs submits street names and requests that the Site Plan Control By-Law be amended to include lots within the draft plan requiring an application for Site Plan approval prior to building permits being available. (27 lots with buffer zones abutting east wetlands) Schedule IV -Condition 21(b}. ~~~ A Red-Line revision was also requested to permit a new road entrance to the B. Springs property through the Johnston property. The roadway is to be a public highway assumed by the Township. This request was separated from the report and deferred far further review by staff and Council. Ref. Minutes: Motion Nos. C0804Q9-10 and 13. Also see letter to Council from the Jarratt-Coulson and Rowanwood Groups -April 8108. April 14 2008Andria Leigh {MHBC} representing Gargano and Nano Manias (Trinison} met with the Couchiching Conservancy to discuss the donation of the wetlands on the B. Springs property to the Conservancy. Parties agreed to continue discussion. April 2$ 2008PAC Meeting. Jarratt-Coulson presented a History of the B. Springs property to assist Council and PAC in their consideration of this development -present and future. Summary: If the Buffalo Springs Development is completed as proposed, it will be comparable to the number of houses presently in Prices Corners, Jarratt and Craighurst combined -the other {3}settlement nodes identified by the OMB in 1994. The house density however, will be greater as will its visibilit from the 1Qt" Line, Horseshoe Valley Rd. and of course, the 9 Line. Since this plan of subdivision was approved in 1994, planning and land development has changed immensely. People have become more aware and sensitive about appropriately balancing the human impact on our natural environment. As a result, much improved government standards and policy for water treatment, water resource protection, watershed control, wetland protection, wildlife habitat, natural corridor protection, etc., are now in place, to better control this balance. On this man-made side, development and infrastructure planning, transportation systems, building standards, energy efficiency, etc. have also improved. The intention is obviously to achieve a better housing end result with less environmental impact. There are many OMB Conditions that this development and its sisters (Capobianco and Diamond Valley Estates} must satisfy before final approval and registration. Although outdated by current measures, these conditions are in place to ensure the same result - Quality of life with minima! environmental impact. ~g~ Oro-Medonte and Council have a major responsibility and a vital role to ensure that all of these Conditions are met, and to incorporate the assistance of all of the instruments and parties available to them -including township staff, PAC, the Coulson Environmental Monitoring Committee, and interested members of the communities in which the developments are located. We represent one such party and offer this History as an example of our continuing assistance. We hope you find this document of value and thank you for your consideration.

File #: 010 003 315 00 06, 1698165 Ontario Inc. (Ossum Enterprises Inc.) - 2976 Highway 11, Part of Lot 20, Concession 7 (Oro), Township of Oro-Medonte RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Actiono For Information Only It is recommended: THAT Report BP 2008-028 Re: Proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Applications 2008-OP-01 and 2008-ZBA-06 1698165 Ontario Inc. (Ossum Enterprises Inc.) - 2976 Highway 11, Part of Lot 20, Concession 7 (Oro), Township of Oro-Medonte be received. 2. AND THAT Applications 2008-OP-01 and 2008-ZBA-06 proceed to a Statutory Public Meeting in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act. BACKGROUND: The purpose of this report is to consider proposed amendments to the Township's Official Plan and Zoning By-law regarding the above noted property, and make recommendations to Planning Advisory Committee as to the disposition of the matter. The lands affected are located at the northwest corner of Highway 11 and Line 7 South as noted in Attachment #1 of this report. ANALYSIS: The subject property is a narrow property comprising approximately 1.05 hectares (2.6 acres), with 235 metres (771 feet) of frontage on Highway 11 and 46 metres (151 feet) on Line 7. The site has been historically used for a variety of highway commercial uses BUILDING AND PLANNING DEPARTMENT April 28, 2008 Report No. BP 2008-028 Page 1 of 3 ~a -2.- including a motel, restaurant and gas station. The motel and restaurant is no longer operating and has fallen into a state of disrepair, while the gas station is still in operation. It is understood that a quonset but located towards the west side of the property houses a swimming pool but is now used as a mechanical garage. It is the intent of the applicant to redevelop the property for a variety of commercial uses, including a new 12-pump gas bar and kiosk, as well as a variety of highway commercial uses including a restaurant with drive thru. A concept plan, appended to this report as Attachment #2, indicates that approximately 750 square metres (8,000 square feet) of retail space is proposed. FINANCIAL: Nat applicable. POLICIES/LEGISLATION: The majority of the subject lands are designated Highway 11 Special Policy Area, with a small portion at the northwest corner of the site designated Oro Centre-Office/Industrial. The land use designations were approved by Council in 2002 as part of the Oro Centre Secondary Plan Area process. This Secondary Plan was adopted by Council as OPA #15, which now forms Schedule "E" of the new Official Plan. Schedule "E" is appended to this report as Attachment #1 for Committee's information. In the consideration of OPA #15, a principle that the lands in this area would be focused on a new Highway 11 corridor, likely widened from its current 4-lane design, with a traditional interchange access configuration as opposed to the fly-over design currently in place. A traffic consultant was retained in this regard, and a full consultation with the Ministry of Transportation was included. Given the location of the subject property, the subject property was almost entirely designated for Highway widening purposes, the development of new buildings and structures is not currently permitted. It is the intent of the Plan to ensure that lands required by the MTO for the highway network is identified and protected from future incompatible development. The subject property is zoned General Commercial (GC-32) Exception Zone by Zoning By-law No. 97-95 presently. While the GC zoning includes a wide range of permitted commercial uses, the exception 32 prohibits new buildings and structures similar to the Official Plan policies noted above. The subject applications would therefore propose an amendment to the Official Plan, as well as a rezoning to remove the exception 32 zone, in order to facilitate the proposed development. If the applications are approved, a Site Plan application would also be required prior to building permits being available for the site. BUILDING AND PLANNING DEPARTMENT April 28, 2008 Report No. BP 2008-028 Page 2 of 3 CONSULTATIONS: In support of the subject applications, the proponent has submitted proposed Official Plan Amendment, which captains the planning analysis and rationale for the proposal. In addition, the proponent has submitted a Functional Servicing Report prepared by Jahn Towle Associates Limited, a Traffic Impact Study prepared by Mark Engineering. These reports have been circulated to the required agencies for comment. These comments will be compiled by staff and reviewed with the proponent and consultants before being reviewed again with the Committee. '~ ATTACHMENTS: Attachment #1 Location Map Attachment #2 Concept Plan Attachment #3 Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan, Schedule E CONCLUSION: The Township is in receipt of applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to facilitate the redevelopment of lands located within the Oro Centre Secondary Plan area. It is acknowledged while there remains some commercial uses on the property, the lands are largely derelict and contribute negatively towards the aesthetics of the area. The applications provide an opportunity to improve the aesthetics of this highly visible site, which is located in close proximity to the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport. Staff recommend that the applications proceed to a statutory Public Meeting at this time, after which a full analysis of comments received by the agency circulation and the public will be brought back to Planning Advisory Committee.

THAT Report No. BP 2008-029 be received and adopted; and, 2. THAT the application for rezoning submitted by Brent Hale respecting 1310 Moonstone Road West be scheduled for a Public Meeting pursuant to Section 39 of the Planning Act. BACKGROUND: Qn April 3, 2008, Brent Hale submitted an application to permit an establishment of a garden suite on the subject property, (orated within Concession 3, South part of Lot 16 (former Medonte Township}, Township of Oro-Medonte. A general location map and conceptual site plan are enclosed as Attachments #1 and 2 respectively. The subject lands are located at 1310 Moonstone Road West.

Proper infrastructure will encourage everyone to participate in Active Transportation and lead to active lifestyles. ~ Paths for pedestrians are even more efficient, handling 20 times the volume per hour compared to cars in mixed traffic The more trips that can be accommodated via cycling or walking, the greater the efficiency of traffic flow and the less demand for costly investment in road infrastructure and maintenance for private cars and public transit; ab Congestion costs in Ontario are projected to reach $6.4 billion annually by 2001.

The most popular forms are walking and cycling, and active transportation can be combined witL~ other modes such as public transit. 1"he best thing about actizre transportation is that everyone can do iti ,very trip we make begins and ends with walking, whether it is to our cars, the bus stop, school ar work. Our bodies were built to use our legs and feet, yet the majorit5l of Canadians make a conscience decision every day to use motorized transportation for short trips. If tive all used active modes of transportation for those trips within 30 minutes (2.5 l~sn of walking or $ krn of cycling}, we would not only make a direct, positive impact on our environment, but we would fulfill the daily requirement of physical activity! that is part of a healthy lifest5=le and unprove the qualitlr of life iri our communities. ~Uith six in ten Canadians not physically active enough to achieve the fuIl health benefits - sedentary living is a significant health issue today. Canadians live acar-centred lifest~lle taking away a great opportunit~r to incorporate physical activit~l into then daily lives, At least 80% of premature heart disease, stroke and t~~pe 2 diabetes and 40°l0 of cancer could be prevented through healthy diet, regular physical aetivit~r and avoidance of tobacco products,'- l~ccording to St~ltistics Canada, 26 % of youth between dze age of two and 17 years old are overweight or obese, with die proportion of obese children nearly tripling in the last ?5 years. By i~lcorporating physical activity! into your day, such as walking and cycling, Canadians can greatly reduce the risk chronic diseases. In fact, many studies have shotivn that physical activit5r helps maintalsl healthy bones, muscles and joints, manage weight, and reduce anxiety and depression. l~s you become more physically active, you'll feel healthier and more energetic. Transportation is one of d1e largest contributors of air pollution >n Canada, with urban passenger vehicles producing almost half of Canada's transportation greenhouse gas emissions. I3y choosing active modes of transportation, you are contributing to d1e health of the envu~onment, since walking, bilging, and in-line skating have zero enussions. rt~du~ier~; r-lr ru rt lr rtisrnse rrr Curet rl tt ~ ~ . fff ~rr6rG*ulioirdt~strrrdudP~o~i~,.,~u~~i~~~.rurt;rrrtttrl~r ~~T ~~~~~t~ "' jr'~1~ ~~[~C7 1''cdcrs~l, provincial, and municipal governn~c~nts, I~IGC~'s, and not-for-profit organisations acre,,; rl~~- country 1~~~>e citl~e~~ aclo}~tcd or tlrc in~i~lcn~entin~ str~tte~ies that £c~stc~t- active Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canad ~ ~., ~~~~~ t,~ .+r_~~. ~7~1s[rolcc~.c'ot~~ 'I"he 1-least and Strc~l~e foundation, a volunteer-ba~cd health charity, leads in eli,>>in;,tiu4~, heart clise~~se and stroke and reducing their impact thte,~.i~~h tlic advancement of resea~•ch and its application, the promotion of healthy living anal ~~~1~~UCS~cy.

Rates of overweight and obesity have been climbing steadily for the past 30 years. These rising rates are directly linked to a lack of physical activity amongst Canadians ~~~~ • Physical inactivity is widespread in Canada. Uver half of the population 12 years of age and over is not physically active, <Ze>, and the majority of Canadian children don't get the levels of physical activity needed for healthy growth and development ~'S~ • Aooss Canada, only about t2% of trips to the grocery store, work, the library or school are made on foot or by bicycle. While this is higher than the 7°!o rate in the United States, it is much lower than in the Netherlands (46%) and Denmark (4I Flo).`--~~ • Research indicates that the risk of obesity can decline by 4,B°!o for each additional kilometre walked per day and can increase by 6% for each hour spent in a car per day. <~` In Canada, 34% of residents of major urban centres report walking, biking, or taking publictransit to get to work, compared 18% of residents in smaller Canadian communities. ~s> • In urban areas, neighbourhoods that have good street lighting, availability of continuous sidewalks, a variety of shops, services, parks, schools and workphces within walking distance of homes are often called "walkable" neighbourhoods. • A number of studies in the United States and Canada have shown that people who live in moderate to high density areas and in more walkable neighbourhoods make more trips on foot or by bicycle, spend less time driving, are more likely to meet recommended levels of physical activity. People living in more walkable neighbourhoods are less likely to be overweight or obese than those living in rural areas or low density areas with a lack of shops, services and other amenities close by~z. 3,as> • Safety concerns keep 1 in 5 Canadians from walking or bicycling.«~ Community planning that encourages walking and biking is likely to improve perceived neighbourhood safety, particularly among women, parents of younger children and the elderly ~3~~' and may increase rates of physical activity amongst Canadians. • Research shows that air pollution can ino~ease the risk for hears disease and stroke Data indicate that hospital admissions for hears disease and stroke increase when there are higher levels of pollution in the air.` 13 ~~' Community planning that encourages walking, biking and public transit use will help lower pollution levels, ina~ease physical activity levels and deo~ease the risks for heart disease and stroke.

BACK~ROIUIVD INFORMATION The Built Environment The built envirornnent influences levels of physical activity, pollution, injuries, overv~eight and obesity and the risks for I-react disease and stroke. Accordingio Health Canada: The built environment includes our homes, schools, worly~laces, perks/ recreation areas, business arras and roads. It extends overhead in the form of electric Uansmission lines, underground in the Jorm of waste disposal sites and subwn}~ trains, and across the counUy in the form of highways. The built environment encompasses all buildings, spaces and products that are created ornrodfed by people«~> The built environment encompasses the following: - Community Design: the design of communities and their physical elements (such as streets, parks, or sidewalks), including both their arrangement and appearance. - Land use: the distribution of activities across space, including the location and density of housing, workplaces, schools, green space, commercial and industrial uses. - Transportation System: the physical infiastructure for roads, bridges, sidewalks, bike paths, railroad tracks and public transportation (buses, sutnruays, light rail). - Human Activity patterns: physical activity like walking or biking within the physical environment or use of cars, trucks and publictransportation. The (Links between the Built Environment, Physical Activity, Heart Disease and Stroke The benefits of regular physical activity are well known and include, among other things, better overall physical and mental health, improved fitness, and weight control. There are a number of risks of being physically inactive which include heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and overweight and obesity. The ways in which the built environment is planned affects levels of physical activity by encowaging or discouraging walking, biking, playing in parks, driving cars, taking public transit. Community planning and development creates the built environment in which we live, work, learn and play. Design and development that separates housing from shops, services, schools and workplaces and/or makes ii difficult to walk easily to these amenities promotes the use of automobiles and discourages physical activity such as biking or walking to a given destination. Placing shops and set vices, parks and schools and workplaces within walking distance of housing, building sidewalks, pathways, and inter connected sheet grid patterns and allowing for longer pedestrian activated dossing lights are some key strategies to make communities rnore walkable. The built enviror7meni can encourage active U~ansportation like walking, biking or taking public transit or ii can encourage the use of automobiles to gef around. Many arburban developments a~eated in Canada in the 79405 and 19505 increased reliance on the automobile. This has continued over the past 60 years and has fuelled w~ban sprawl. Urban sprawl uses large quantities of land, tends to separate housing from stores, schools and workplaces, and encourages dependency on automobiles. Key features of urban sprawl include communities that have new housing developments at the edges of, or well outside of, established community areas; have housing that is relatively isolated h~om shops, services, workplaces and schools and that have lower numbers of residents per square kilometre ('low density"); encourage dependency on automobiles io get around and to travel between housing, shops, services, schools and workplaces; have longer commuting times for residents from their homes to school and/or work; have curved, unconnected residential street patterns and wide, busy commercial streets that may pose a safety risk to pedestrians and cyclists; and are not particularly pedestrian friendly due to a lack of sidewalks and/or narrow sidewalks that are located close to busy streets with lots of automobiles nearby. Urban sprawl and development that encourages automobile use contributes to higher levels of air pollution. Air pollution includes particulate matter (from industrial and motor vehicle emissions), carbon monoxide (from motor vehicle exhaust) and ground level ozone (from burning fossil fuels for transportation). Air pollution discourages physical activity, is a significant risk factorfor heart disease and stroke and can worsen existing heart and lung problems. <z 8>n3-r~> An emerging body of evidence suggests there is a relationship between the built environment, physical activity, rising rates of overweight and obesity and heart disease and stroke. To improve the heart health of Canadians and reduce the risks of heart disease and stroke, future Canadian community planning and development should consider the extent to which a commw~ity has mixed land use, a variety of housing options and affordability encourages walking, blking and other forms of active transportation and has sufficient density io provide frequent public transit service io residents. %' HEART& I STROKE FOUNDATION OP CANADA - ... ~ -.a.-• ;~._. 1., ~ L rt__ .'.~ ~ t. _~ .-.: .ti f ti'•'~. t iti +. t '~'_1` ~.^« f ^~' r.~J~. 11+ ~ ~ ,. ~ r j c s '~ >3 i r ~, '~' ~ ~ ~ Ft t J 7 Yr",~ in d}:.~ *'~ '~ t ~ ~ > kf~4>~ w;~" 01µi. . ~~{~15 ,ti t µt~ ~ Xi ''~ t .r~~ x r ~. ~:t~~ :i ~+~Fi`i 'r~O " ~~ stew{~lr'~. `. r, ur,. ~ir~r; ,~.Y;~ 1~,. v:•~'.s~.+x.~...., ~ ~~~ti a ~ r I~. «^~~~ ~asl~ ~~.~rrt ;,-.~cl~~J i y 1 ;,i ~, r. .;,.~t r t= ~ _ cr,~• ~ __.i T'C~IC~ ~U[C~T E~1VIR~1`tiIICdIEI`~IT, PH1CS~~~4L AC~'EV~7'1r, ~~~~~ E~lS~,ASE ~~d ST'~C~~GE REFERENCES 1 McCann, 8arbaia et al Meosunng the Fleallh I'J/t~cYs o/SpmwL titnart Gowtit Antrwlch, SNptemlxlr 2UU3~ 2.

The natural, social, economic and built environments that surround you help to determine many health-related aspects of your life, such as your level of physical activity, the quality of the air you breathe and water you drink, and your overall sense of wellbeing. A healthy community is one in which all four environments support people's ability to be healthy in all areas of their lives. Policies and decisions made by government play an important role in shaping these environments. Whether it is through land use planning, developing infrastructure or designing transportation systems, these decisions impact the overall health of everyone in your community. Better Planning & Design = A Healthier Environment = A Healthier You Think about the decisions made by the provincial government that affect the quality of life in your community. Policies implemented at the provincial level affect decisions made at the municipal level, all of which influence the way in which our communities are built and designed. Ontario provincial policy states that healthy, liveable and safe communities are sustained by "avoiding development and land use patterns which may cause environmental or public health and safety concerns".~1~ Provincial planning decisions that support this policy can positively impact on your health. For example, access to greenspace for recreation can result in increased physical activity and decreased chronic disease; an abundance of agricultural land can provide local, nutritious food choices; and the location of employment centres close to where people live can decrease stress and commute times, and improve air quality. Did You Know? • In 2005 there were 53 smog days in Ontario. Smog days are correlated with an increase in visits to physicians, emergency rooms and hospital admissions.~2> • Driving long distances (or commuting) to work increases stress, can lead to aggressive driving and contributes to air pollution. • Development that spreads over a large geographical area can lead to a weakening sense of community, which can impact on a person's mental health and wellbeing.~3~ • Roadway construction and greenspace development increases impervious surfaces, which produce run- off that can negatively affect groundwater quality. • A lack of sidewalks and paved shoulders results in fewer people walking or cycling, thereby increasing congestion of our transportation system. • Unplanned growth can result in the loss of vital agricultural land. Provincial Action Can Make a DifFerence Making strategic policy and land use decisions that support a healthy environment and protect public health is within the realm of provincial action. Legislation such as the 2005 Places to Grow Act is one such example. This Act provides the framework for a strategic land use plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe that will guide and regulate growth and development in this part of the province over the next 25 years. But there is still more that can be done. The provincial government can continue to work with its municipal and federal counterparts to provide direction and support for healthy communities in the following ways: • provide tax incentives that favour smart growth principles, such as reducing property and sales tax on new construction on brownfill sites and/or the revitalization of existing developments in urban areas; • provide policy and financial support for the development and expansion of regional public transportation systems and other alternative transportation modes; • adopt policies and incentives that facilitate energy conservation; • promote safe, energy efficient movement of people through active transportation; • implement provincial land use strategies that protect agricultural and other important natural environments, and that allow for strategic, planned growth; • develop policies that support safe and secure communities, and that allow all residents the opportunity for employment, recreation and community involvement; • support the distribution and sale of locally grown produce.

Your municipality plays an important role in shaping the environment in which you live and in determining the planning and policies that affect your life. Whether it is through switching to compact fluorescent bulbs, burning cleaner fuels, or implementing anti-idling bylaws, the decisions of local government impact the air you breathe and the overall health of everyone in your community. Good health starts with each person, but it takes a community to support it. Better Air = A Healthier Environment = A Healthier You Think about the decisions made in your municipality that affect the quality of the air we breathe. We can all work together through a combination of individual and municipal actions to improve our air. For example we can cycle or walk to work on safe routes; we can carpool and save time using carpool lanes; and we can choose to purchase more fuel-efficient vehicles. What causes air pollution? The most significant sources of air polhition are from energy generation and fossil fuel-based transportations. Environment Canada estimates that vehicles, road dust and off road equipment are responsible for about two-thirds of the NOx (nitrogen oxides), one-third of the SOx (sulphur oxides), one-quarter of the particulate matter and three-quarters of the CO (carbon monoxide) within an urban area. Ground level ozone is created by a combination of some of these pollutants. Sprawling urban developments lead to increased driving, which results in increased vehicle emissions that contribute to air pollution and its negative impacts on human health'. How does air pollution affect our health? • Smog days are correlated with an increase in visits to physicians, emergency rooms and hospital admissions. The Ontario Medical Association (OMA) found that most smog-related hospitalizations are for cardiovascular illness4. • • Premature death can result from long-term effects of exposure to particulate matter. The majority of premature deaths are suffered by the elderly. Additional deaths, where smog is a factor, are the result of a lifetime of exposure and the cumulative effects on the body'. • Studies link long-term exposure to air pollution with lung cancer, heart attacks, strokes and high blood pressure. Even relatively small differences in long-term exposure can have substantial impacts on life expectancy • More than 10% of children in Canada have been diagnosed with asthma. It has been known for some time that air pollution makes asthma symptoms worse; however, recent studies suggest that exposure to air pollution may lead to the development of asthma. • Some studies have linked an expectant mother's exposure to air pollution with adverse reproductive outcomes such as low birth weight. • The Ontario Medical Association (OMA) estimates that in 2005, Simcoe Muskoka experienced 211 premature deaths, 550 hospital admissions and 2,052 emergency visits as a result of air pollution10. Children living in communities with higher levels of traffic-related pollution had lung function growth that was approximately 10% slower than that of children in lower air pollution communities. The rate of lung function growth improved in children who moved to lower pollution areas8 Air pollution is an issue in Simcoe Muskoka In 2005 there were 53 smog days in Ontario, 44 smog days in southern Simcoe Muskoka and 30 smog days in northern Simcoe Muskoka. 'I"he estimated health care cost resulting from air pollution for Simcoe Muskoka totalled X15.86 million and a cost of ~y11.87 million in lost productivityt t The OMA predicts the health impacts from air pollution to increase to 366 premature deaths, 819 hospital admissions and 3,066 emergency visits by 202617. Municipal action makes a difference Research demonstrates that reducing air pollution levels can improve health. A study conducted during the Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia (1996), demonstrated a reduction in ozone levels, a 42 per cent drop in asthma medical emergency events and a 19% decrease in hospital admissions for the four weeks when traffic levels were greatly decreased13. Similarly, a study examined the effects of a 50`%~ drop in total traffic at the Peace Bridge between Buffalo and Fort Erie following September 11, 2001. Decreased traffic was accompanied by a drop in hospitalizations for respiratory diseases14 Our local municipalities show environmental leadership when they: • Improve access to transit • Increase the number of safe bicycling and walking routes . Switch to biodiesel and/or ultra low sulphur fuels • Purchase hybrid and/or more fuel-efficient vehicles • Use the most fuel-efficient vehicle for the job • Implement anti-idling policies and by-laws • Support green initiatives such as tree preservation policies and green roofs • Retrofit municipal buildings (such as the use of solar panels, energy recapture and compact fluorescent lights) • InstaIl LED (light emitting diode) traffic lights that offer up to 90r% energy savingslsand less maintenance • Establish by-laws that support Energy Star standards for future development Find out more about better air Natural Resources of Canada, Office of Energy Efficiency "Welcome to the Idle Free Zone" [online] http:~ oee.nrcan.~c.ca transportation ersonal idlina.cfm?attr=8 Ontario Public Health Association [online] http:L/wwwopha.on.ca~ Toronto Public Health `l,ction on Air and Health" [online] httb:L/wwwtoronto.ca/health/hphe air and_ health.htm Federation of Canadian Municipalities: "Green Municipal Fund"[online] htt~~/wwwfcm.ca enalish mf mf.html Endnotes - ------------___-_--_---- - 'Toronto Public Health.

You can help make good health happen in your community Where you live impacts your health. Your municipality plays an important role in shaping the environment in which you live and in determining the planning and policies that affect your life. Whether it is through parks, zoning bylaws, sidewalk and road planning, the decisions of local government impact the overall health of everyone in your community. Good health starts with each person, but it takes a community to support it. Active Transportation = A Healthier Environment = A Healthier You Think about the decisions that are made in your municipality that affect how physically active you are and how much you are exposed to air pollution. For example, your community can have bike lanes and sidewalks that let you safely walk or bike instead of driving to the bank, retail areas, work or school. Active transportation is any form of human-powered non-motorized transportation, such as walking, cycling or wheelingl. Active transportation improves health through increasing your physical activity and reducing your exposure to air pollution. You may also find that you have more social interaction when walking and cycling in your neighbourhood, and this also has been shown to improve health'-. An added benefit is lower transportation costs especially when affordable and accessible public transportation choices are also available. Did You Know? In Canada, over half of automobile trips are under five kilometres3 -ideal distances to cover by walking, cycling, in-line skating or other active transportation modes. • Approximately 46% of Simcoe Muskoka adults are inactive. • Local research suggests that almost half of Grade 1 children in Simcoe County do not meet the national recommendation of 90 minutes of daily physical activitys. • Experts agree that moderate physical activity reduces the risk of premature death related to chronic disease and improves psychological and emotional health. • Active transportation can easily fit into your daily schedule when combined with travel time for routine activities. • Reducing the number of daily vehicle trips reduces harmful vehicle emissions. • Active transportation can give us a greater sense of personal and family security through increased presence of "eyes" on the street which is linked to reduced crime. • Congestion of our transportation system can be reduced when sidewalks and paved shoulders are provided that encourage people to walk and cycle. • Rural and urban trails add to the local economy by providing jobs and supporting tourism8. Active Transportation means healthier places to live Municipal Action Can Make a Difference When active transportation is a priority in our municipalities, they are healthier places to live. In fact, surveys show that 82 per cent of Canadians support spending government money on more dedicated bicycle lanes and paths in their community`'. Our local municipalities show leadership when they: • Implement design and maintenance practices for • sidewalks, trails and walkways that facilitate safe and efficient pedestrian movement • • Have dedicated bicycle lanes and routes • Include requirements for bicycle parking in zoning • by-laws or ordinances • Provide publicly accessible bicycle parking racks Install racks on buses and allow bicycles on public transportation Regularly maintain and upgrade pedestrian and cycling facilities Favour community design that reduces the distances that people have to travel to get to work, retail areas, schools and recreation/leisure pursuits Find out more about Active Transportation 1.

The Province of Ontario has engaged the County of Simcoe in a comprehensive Growth Plan that will soon lead to a new Official Plan (OP). The Province is still formulating an employment land strategy and policies to support the goals of the Growth Plan. -- The County's municipalities will be subject to the final form of this new OP and will have to adjust their local Official Plans to meet the following policies set out in Section 2.2.2 Managing Growth of the Proposed Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH), 2005. (pertinent and selected clauses listed here): fj ensuring the availability of sufficient land in designated employment areas to accommodate forecasted growth to support the GGH's economic competitiveness g) planning and investing for a balance of jobs and housing in communities across the GGH to reduce the need for long distance commuting and to increase the modal share for transit, walking and cycling i) directing development to settlement areas except far development related to the management or use of resources, resource-based recreational activities and other rural land uses that cannot be located in settlement areas Oro-Medonte Township has a unique infrastructure investment with its Lake Simcoe Regional Airport, shared with the Cities of Barrie and Orillia and has the opportunity to make a strong `pitch' to the County Chat it can help meet the need for future employment land and economic growth. The Aiport located on the Township's Line 7 will prove valuable in ensuring the Province's competitiveness in the global economy, and in the provision of diverse, well-paying and productive employment opportunities to the residents of Simcoe. My presentation to PAC will outline how Oro-Medonte can provide for a future employment base that meets the Growth Plan goals, through the OP designation of lands adjacent to the Airport for employment purposes, together with planning and servicing policies that support orderly and proper development.

Colbar=~a Dctra,t Chatham ~1'~ ~~~- Wrndso* ._s~ s, Why Here/Now? • Buttonville and Pearson Airports have restrictions on hours of operation -cargo business is already relocating to Hamilton Airport. LSRA has no operating restrictions. • Buttonville Airport lands have been sold, and may cease operation as soon as the operating agreement with the GTAA ends in 2010, depending on existing tenancy lease terms. • Pickering Airport Site decision will not be made before 2009 - however nearby Land being converted to residential uses (North Pickering Land Exchange/ Oak Ridges Development Moratorium) will limit future Airport operations/feasibility. • LSRA is able to respond to the growing servicing need for Air Travel/Cargo in Northern GTA and Ontario based on geography and operating restrictions. Timing is critical to provide a serviced Airside facility alternative to Buttonville tenants. .:, Business Focus • Air Travel/Cargo is growing in volume and importance - IATA Economics estimates the future growth to be at 5.4% annually. • The Conference Board of Canada's Report -Canada's Air Transportation Industry: Industrial Outlook 2008 (five-year forecast examining the short- and medium-term economic and profitability outlook) predicts that strong growth in incomes and corporate profits is boosting spending on pleasure and business travel, including spending on air transportation in the Domestic Market.
