Hughes, re: Personal Matter (OMEGA member). ~ ~ ~ ±t 13 August 2008 SECOND DEPOSITION TO ORO MEDONTE COUNCIL COMPLETION OF LANDSCAPES SUB-DIVISION PHASE 1 DITCHES AND CURBS Mr. Mayor and members of council, this second deposition is in regards to the ongoing issue with the development of the Landscapes sub division and the recommendation made in the report that was posted on the Oro Medonte website on Aug 11, 2008. Since our last deposition many of the ditches have been filled-in and curbs have been installed. The aesthetic difference is immediately obvious as can be seen from the attached photographs Nas.1 through 4. For this happening we say thank you as those fortunate home owners can now safely maintain their properties. Also they na longer have to deal with standing water and a potential mosquito breeding problem, which is still the case with the remaining ditches. Even though some ditches have been recently modified we still have rivers running through them every time there is a heavy rain fall. The attached photographs Nos. 6 & 7 clearly show the continuing problem, proof again that the ditch concept is not working. One other obvious fact is that we now have two {2) developments, one finished like a subdivision of this type should be and one looking like it has been abandoned before completion. This has created a difference in value of properties of the same type depending an which section one resides in i.e. curb appeal, see photograph No.5. The sad fact is that with this latest modification, our small sub division of 66 homes is now more diversified than before and unity of the neighbourhood is non existent i.e. we now have: •'r Some properties with ditches and no curbs •:• Same with ditches and curbs •:• Some have na ditches and na curbs • Same have no ditches but have curbs •:• Some have curbs with kill strips • Some have curbs without kill strips The neighbourhood is far removed from the country club community that we were sold at the time of purchase. We fail to understand how the developer would want to leave the neighbourhood in such a state and more importantly, how Oro Medonte can allow this to happen. For reference please note that the sub division covering Valley Crest, Dale court and Hillside Court is a rural type development yet there are curbs along the whole sub division. One very important issue for the concerned residents of Landscapes is the potential health problem associated with standing water in the remaining ditches, as well as the SAFETY issue in trying to maintain these deep ditches. We are of the opinion that many of the ditches are out of code as most take up the whole front garden an these small city type lots. See attached photograph No.8 that shows an example of this fact. It has been suggested that our ditches are no worse than many of those in other areas of Oro Medonte and therefore safety is not an issue. However, we would remind the council that all these other areas have large country lots with large front gardens between the ditch and the house. In addition, it is obvious that many of these home owners cannot or will not maintain their ditches as they no longer contain grass and are overrun with weeds and other rogue vegetation. If we in Landscapes let our small properties go the same way, then our sub division will quickly become the "Ghetto" that some outside people have already nicknamed the Landscapes development. Oro Medonte has 1(4 already indicated that Landscapes is a unique {special) development and not typical for Oro Medonte. In fact we understand that it is a first attempt at an urban development and therefore should not have been planned on the rural concept. On our small properties the deep ditches should be no bigger than swales which is what the home owners expected. On the matter of safety we fail to understand why in the case of deck installations Oro Medonte can be pedantic about safety, yet in the case of maintaining the ditches, do not acknowledge that there is a safety problem. Must we wait until a home owner is seriously injured before action is taken? Please keep in mind that Oro Medonte approved this development as an Adult Style Community, this means homes inhabited by seniorslpensioners. With respect to the report posted on the website on Aug 11, the concerned residents of Landscapes do not accept the recommendation of the Ora Medonte Engineering Department. Instead, we propose option No.3 which for the following reasons we believe is the most equitable solution: The developer has a responsibility to complete the neighbourhood in the manner that was advertised in the sales brochures and as advertised on the stone sign at the entrance to the development i.e. "A country club community by Laurel View Names". Although it appears that no one wants to accept blame or take responsibility for the status qua, we are of the opinion that the township or its engineers has made mistakes regarding inspections and approvals. We understand that in many cases special variances were granted to deal with porches and foundations that were built beyond the proper road allowance and in some cases with too high an elevation. We believe that proper inspection in the early stages would have caught these errors and suitable corrections could have then been made to avoid the present problems with the deep ditches. We believe that the home owners that still have ditches and gravel verges should not be held hostage for the errors made. It has been said that Oro Medonte is a quick learner and will not make the same mistake again e.g. in Landscapes phase 2 or in other future developments that are planned with small city lots. Why then should the remaining 38% of phase 1 be victimized and suffer the problem of living with the deep ditches on our small properties? What message will this send to future purchasers of homes? Oro Medonte has indicated that the ditches and gravel verges should remain because Oro Medonte is a rural municipality with approved standards to sustain a rural setting. Why is it so hard for the engineers to acknowledge that Landscapes is not a rural sub division but an urban sub division located within the township of Oro Medonte. If Oro Medonte wanted a rural development then the planning for Landscapes should never have been approved. Oro Medonte has indicated that the cost for maintenance equipment for flushing the pipes is between $350,000 and $400,000, why is this even mentioned when we were advised at the July 29 meeting that Oro Medonte would not consider purchasing this equipment. The rental cost is given as $2,400 annually. Although we cannot see why this work would have to be done annually, such a rental cost would be more than justified given the taxes we already pay. Note also that the equipment would have to be rented anyway for the section of the sub division that has been completed properly. In addition, Oro Medonte has already indicated that you will not make the same mistake again. Therefore we assume that future phases will be developed properly and will also require maintenance equipment. « The report suggests that the home owner need not maintain the ditches as Oro Medante would maintain them twice a year. This is completely unrealistic, to do sa would turn half the development into an unsightly mess and an embarrassment to all concerned. « Oro Medonte made reference to the fact that some ditches may be too shallow to accept drainage pipes. If this is the case then they already are most likely swales that do not have the same safety problem with maintenance as does the deep ditches. During the meeting held on July 29 the Landscapes residents were asked to review the six (6) options proposed by Oro Medonte and if necessary offer an alternative acceptable solution. Therefore, in the case that Ora Medante should reject our request far option No.3 and keeping in mind that HEALTH AND SAFETY is our first concern, then as a compromise we propose that Ora Medonte, Laurel View or both, finance the cost to fill-in the remaining ditches without the installation of curbs. This does not help the unity issue, but allows us to have peace of mind and front gardens that can be properly maintained. We are aware that lack of funds is a major problem. However, we would also like Oro Medonte to give a little consideration to the fact that many residents have already been living in a construction zone far over four (4) years. Is there no way that Oro Medonte can take the initiative to find funding to complete the work and finalize the road surface still this year, so that the work is completed once and far all? In closing we would like to thank the Oro Medonte Council for allowing us to present this deposition and leave you with this last thought: "Eighteen months ago many residents were under the impression that all the ditches would be filled in and were happy to state that the only way they would leave Landscapes was in a pine box. Today these same residents are indicating that they are disillusioned with the attitude of Laurel View and disappointed by the present lack of support from Oro Medonte and now have thoughts of selling their homes and moving out of the township in the very near future. We have the potential to have an aesthetically pleasing neighbourhood, one that people would want to be part of and one that Oro Medonte would be proud to show as an example of a first class urban development within a rural environment. Please allow this to happen.

The changes requested to the Township's regulations are in no way minor, but in height and width the application asks for more than a doubling of the allowed size of the boathouse. The three bay sketch confirms that the proposed structure would overwhelm the waterfront on the McGowan property. Many of us in this community take seriously the threats to our lake posed by overdevelopment. The environment must be protected and the Township's zoning regulations should be one way to assist in this. We urge the Committee of Adjustment to turn down this application. Mr. McGowan should seek appropriate planning permission far his scheme and the Township should be reminded that its standards are there for a purpose. Yours truly, Fred Beck ~~ ~~,~ Susan Woods c.c.

The applicant has presented. us with two different plans far the proposed boathouse, one through. the Ministry of Natural. Resources with. two boat slips, the other through the Township of Oro-Medonte with. three boat slips. It is a concern to us that there are discrepancies between the proposal to the provincial government and the proposal presented to the municipal government. Oar greatest concern, however, is the excessive size of the proposed boathouse. Ta the best of our knowledge, there is na other boathouse of this enormous size, with living quarters on the second storey, protruding into the lake, an either our north shore or the south share of Kempenfelt Bay in Lake Simcoe. The Township Zoning By-laws for height, width, and square footage for boathouses in this case are exceeded to the extreme, up to almost 2.5 times in the case of the square footage. This is unacceptable, and is not a request far a "minor variance", but for multiple "major variances". The By-Laws shoald be followed because they are meant to protect the environment and health of the lake, including shoreline vegetation, wildlife habitats for animals and ducks, and fish habitats, as well as the wonderful beauty of the la1~e, especially here in Shanty Bay. Far the foregoing reasons, we are apposed to this application. Yours truly, Susan Beijafield and Mary .lane Saajeant Copy: Mayor H. Hughes and Councillors of the Township ofOra-Medonte 141r. G.

An application for a variance which is 76.6°Io higher than allowed under the Township By-law is not a minor variance, but constitutes a major variance from the Township By-law and should therefore be outside the jurisdiction of the Committee of Adjustment to approve. • The application is for a boat house consuming 43°/0 of the width of the lot, rather than the required 30°Io under the Township By-law. The construction of a boathouse taking up almost half of the lot available will result in degradation of the shoreline, erosion and loss of habitat. • The application is far a boat house having an area of 1817 square feet, whereas the Township By-law allows only 753 square feet. A 41 °Io increase in area is not a minor variance, but constitutes a major variance -'- Jule 15, 2(iG8 from the Township By-law and should therefore be similarly outside the jurisdiction of the Committee of Adjustments. • The neighbours of the Applicant do not want to have their views of the lake obstructed by such a large structure. • The residents of Shanty Bay do not want this type of structure to be approved. The approval of this type of boat house by "minor" variance application will be precedent setting, the door will then be open for others to apply for such large variances. At the moment there is no other boat hawse of such proportions in the vicinity of Shanty Bay. Based upon the foregoing, I respectfully request that the application be denied.

His application has been submitted, we understand, to the Township and to the Ministry of Natural Resources andlor the Ministry of the Environment. The structure applied for violates the zoning by-law in the following ways: 1. The allowable height for such a structure is 4.5 metres or 14.76 feet above the foundation {By-law 97-95, Section 5.6g} His request is for a structure which is 7.97 metres or 26.1 feet above the foundation. THIS IS 76.6°lo HIGHER THAN ALLOWED. Not only is this an extraordinary increase in height but the request does not take in consideration existing buildings on another property. The new boathouse will block a substantial view of the lake on the adjacent lot to the west of Mr. McCowan's property. 2. The allowable width of a boathouse is up to 30% of the width of the property Lakeshore. His width request is 43°l°. THIS IS 43°l° HIGHER THAN ALLOWED. 3. The total area of the boathouseldecks should not exceed 753 sq.ft. His proposal is for 1817 sq.ft. THIS IS 4l°lo GREATER THAN ALLOWED. The purpose of limiting the width of boathouses to 30% of the lot width is to leave as much of the shoreline as possible vegetated and natural so as to provide wildlife habitat, to protect the shoreline from erosion and to maintain the current ambiance of the mostly natural shoreline and modest boathouses along Shanty Bay. On another point, the applications to the Ministry and the Township contain conflicting information ~ will there be two or three boat bays?) and it is therefore difficult to understand just what kind of structure Mr. McGowan intends to build. Indeed, these major variance requests and the conflicting information in the applications make us question his future intentions. The Oro-Medonte Official Plan and its zoning by-laws have been developed to safeguard the environment to allow for planned growth and to maintain the rural ambiance of Oro- Medonte. Clearly, Mr. McCowan's boathouse application does not lie within the spirit or the intent of the Official Plan. Please explain why we have official plans and zoning by- laws?

His application has been submitted, we understand, to the Township and to the I~linistry of Natural Resources andlor the Ministry of the Environment. The structure applied for violates the zoning by-law in the following ways: 1. The allowable height for such a structure is 4.5 metres ar 14.76 feet above the foundation (By-law 97-95, Section 5.6 g). His request is for a structure which is 1.9'7 metres or 26.1 feet above the foundation. ~ ~ ` s Not only is this an extraordinary increase in height but the request doesn't take into consideration existing buildings on another property. The new boathouse will block a substantial view of the lake on the adjacent lot to the west of 1~1r. McCawan's property. 2. The allowable width of a boathouse is up to 30°fo of the width of the property's Lakeshore. His width request is 43°f°. 3, The total area of the boathouseldecks should not exceed 153 sq. ft. His proposal is for 1817 sq. ft, The purpose of limiting the width of boathouses to 30°fo of the lot width is to leave as much of the shoreline as possible vegetated and natural so as to provide wildlife habitat, to protect the shoreline from erosion and to maintain the current ambiance of the mostly natural shoreline and modest boathouses along Shanty Bay. (fin another point, the applications to the Ministry and the Township contain conflicting information (will there be two or three boat bays?) and it is therefore difficult to understand just what bind of structure Mr. McGowan intends to build. Indeed, these major variance requests and the conflicting information in the applications make us question his future intentions. The Uro-Medonte official Plan and its zoning by-laws have been developed to safeguard the environment, to allow for planned growth and to maintain the rural ambiance of Oro-Medonte. Clearly, lair. McCowan's boathouse application does not lie within the spirit or intent of the Official Plan. If the variances are granted, why do we have an {official Plan and zoning by-laws? If the Committee of Adjustment is dealing with these major variance requests, we would respectfully ask that the changes be denied far the above stated reasons. Thank you for being the guardians of our township.

I urge you to take a few moments to read this report and to share it with your colleagues and staff. Staff has gone to considerable effort to produce a report with a different thrust this year. In studying the effectiveness of an annual report, it was determined that more could be done to raise awareness of coming issues and the resources needed to address them, while providing the traditional year-end overview of operations. This new format flows from the four-year strategic plan developed in 2007. The changing communities of Simcoe and Muskoka -and indeed the changing world around us -demand that new energies be applied to protect and promote the health of local residents. The report explores the work going on to tailor the health unit's infrastructure to the rapidly growing population of the region. It also outlines the new ties between public health and municipal planning in developing principles of community design that keep the health of residents uppermost. Your Public Health Unit is deeply committed to these challenges, and this report sheds light on that commitment. The annual report is also posted on the health unit's website at www.simcaemuskokahealth.orq. (welcome any questions, comments or concerns you have about public health issues in your local community.

The signs also alert any responding emergency staff to the possible impact on drinking water in the case of an emergency such as a tanker spill or a house fire. The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority and the Township of Springwater are working in partnership to install 22 Drinking Water Protection Area signs to raise public awareness about drinking water vulnerability.

"It is much easier, and far less expensive, to keep our drinking water clean by being careful with what we add to the groundwater than it is to clean up bacterial or chemical contamination after the fact," says Post.

The main purpose far these requirements is to protect employees and the public. Safety is No. 1 and nobody wants to get injured. Recently there was an incident where a Hydro One employee cut his arm on a very sharp metal 911 sign, which was attached to a Hydro One pale. Under the electricity act nobody is permitted to install signs or attachments to poles without proper authorization. Electricity Act -Section 47 Affixing signs, etc. 47. Every person who, without the consent of a transmitter or distributor, nails or otherwise attaches anything, or causes anything to be nailed ar otherwise attached to or upon any wooden transmission or distribution pole of the transmitter or distributor is guilty of an offence and on conviction is liable to a fine of not mare than $240. i 998, c. 15, Sched. A, s. 47. Within Municipal boundaries Hydro One does not allow any signs on poles from 3rd parties unless they are approved by the Municipality which has an executed "Municipal Attachment" agreement with Hydro One. The installation of any third party attachments other than those of the Municipality will require municipal approval prior to installation. Any such attachment made will be under the care and control of the Municipality and will follow the conditions outlined in the executed agreement and the Contract Administration Guide (CAG). Some of the guidelines around Municipality attachments are listed below which are taken from the CAG, Section 6.0 Item 6.1. • The Municipalities Attachments can include the following: mast arms, luminaries, supply conductors, relays and other equipment required to operate a street lighting system traffic signal, power and control cables, junction and splice boxes and any other equipment and/or devices normally required for the operation of traffic signals service attachments decorative fighting standards (banners down the side of poles) seasonal decorations. • Meta! signs presenting a thin knife-tike edge wilt not be allowed on HONetworks' poles. These signs represent significant opportunity for injury if not removed when working aloft and are to be avoided. • Locafion on frequently cfrmbed poles such as rectoser, switch or transformer pates is to be avoided if possible, atthough it is recognized that for roadway lighting, installation on these poles maybe required. Subsidiary apparatus poles are the preferred alternatives. • Attachments that do not have access by aerial devices shall not be allowed on poles. • Banners and strings of lights extending Pram one pale to another, typically across the road allowance will not be allowed. These installations can be accommodated by the municipality installing separate poles with the proper back-guying to accommodate the banner and strings of rights. • Standards (banners down the side of pates} must be detachable at the bottom to minimize their impact an climbing the pole and will be required to have a proper mounting bracket at the top to securely attach to the pate. The mounting bracket should be sufficiently heavy to support the banner under all weather conditions and wide enough not to presenf a knife like edge in case of a falling accident. A rounded bracket is preferred. • Attachments must be mounted on the roadside of fhe Joint Use Pole to maximize safe climbing space. Vertical Attachments such as conductors, cables, and conduit shalt be grouped together such that a minimum continuous surface of 60% of the Joint Use Pole circumference shaft remain clear for climbing. We hope this helps to clarify issues regarding Signs and/or attachments on Hydro One Poles within Municipality boundaries. Please review and if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call.

Increases in the volume and the type of traffic has escalated since the implementation of the crossing guard to the extent that the Township of Oro-Medonte no longer deems it safe for children, even with the assistance of an adult crossing guard, to cross this busy Provincial Highway. Measures that have been taken at other schools to improve safety by reducing the speed of traffic and create a community safety zone are not options far this section of the Provincial Highway. The Township's attempts to have crossing lights installed at the intersection as part of the upgrades to Highway 7 2 were not successful. Please see the attached correspondence. As a result an adult crossing guard is Curren#ly assisting children to cross a Provincial Highway at an intersection where lights cannot be installed and a community safety zone cannot be created to provide additional measures of safety. The Township does not want to remove the crossing guard without having a safer alternative. As a result, the Township of Oro-Medonte requests that the Simoce County District School Board provide before and after school busing to alleviate the need for students to walk across the Provincial Highway on their way to and from school. The Township of C}ra-Medante will leave the adult Grassing guard in place until the end of this school year and remains hopeful that the Schaal Board will implement the busing of students across the highway effective far the opening of school in September of this year. Thank you far your kind attention to this safety issue. We look forward to hearing from you at your earliest Convenience. Ya s Ctf , H. S.

Hughes: Ivii~.~ i I`; !~ ~, tJ~ YY. Thisrs in response to your letter of February l6, 2007, to Mr. Maria Panza, regarding the installation of traffic signals at the intersection afHighway 12 and Warminster S€deraad. Traffzc signals are instal€ed when traffic volumes and delays meet long established engineering criteria to ensure safety. With respect to installatian of traffic signals on the Highway 12tWarminster intersection, ministry staff conducted traffic counts in October 2006. Based an the recent counts, traffic signals are not warranted at this time. With regards to the installation of the Intersection Pedestrian Signals, we have checked the warrants based an pedestrian counts conducted in October 6, 2006. Our analysis confirms that Intersection Pedestrian Signals are not 'lvarranted at this time. Please be aware that the prerrtature installatian of traffic signals can actually lead to an increase in the number of rear end type collisions and cause unnecessary delay to traffic. Far this reason, the ministry will only install traffic signals ar pedesMan signals when the likely net result is a benefit of reduced collisions and reduced traffic delay. 1 am pleased to inform you that the ministry is undertaking a series of Highway l2 improvement projects fram Orillia to Highway 400. The contract fram Orillia to Town Line was completed last year. The next contract will start in the spring of this year and will include faun oversized "Schaal Children Crossing" signs with two flashing lights on each sign to be installed atang Highway 12 at 1~'arminster Sideroad. Twa sets of signs with flashing lights will be installed in each direction an Highway 12 approaching Warminster Sideraad. The flashers will be operational during school hours. In adds'tion, a four way overhead flashing beacon will be F _~ _~ k installed aver this intersectian aperating cantinuausiy. The beacan will flash an amber light far the matarist an Highway 12 and flash a red light far the matarists an Warminster Sideraad. In additian to the abave, the intersectian will be illuminated. The existing crasswalk will be repainted at the east side of this intersectian. These impravements were tharaughly discussed and agreed upan with the tawnship and included public consultatian during twa "Public Infarmatian f;entres"' held in 2402 and 2005. These impravements shauld pravide enhanced safety far the residents and schaai children of Warminster.

The following notes relate to the report. a} The Lake Simcoe Regional Airport June 30, 2008 Financial Statements depict that the airport is operating at approximately 57°!o ahead of its overall planned year-to-date, as evidenced by the attached report. b) The construction of the much anticipated and mandated requirement for the fire water supply and distribution system has been completed. The system is in the final stages of being tested with an anticipated operational date of mid July. The completion of this system will allow for continued construction activities at the airport of which, until this point, have been restricted. c} Notwithstanding the delays in development activities at the airport during the construction of the fire water storage and distribution system, the new 12,000 sq. ft. dedicated facility for Hydro One Helicopter Services is nearing completion. The facility has an anticipated completion date of Fall 2008 and wilt house the provincial headquarters of Hydro One's helicopter operations. Weathelwise Aviation has undertaken to and been selected by Hydro One far the design and construction of the facility. d} Pursuant to the Council endorsed Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Building a Business Case for Development, the Commission is pleased to provide the following update. Of the various goals and recommendations contained in the approved business plan, an ongoing initiative is to actively pursue potential revenue packages from senior levels of government. Notwithstanding the received and approved municipal funding support for the business plan in spite of other potential revenue sources, the airport Commission has explored such opportunities. ~°~ vim' The airport Commission has aver the past several months held various meetings with Federal and Provincial representatives regarding the Building Canada Fund {BCF}. To that end, a development summary detailing some of the same projects identified in the Building a Business Case for Devetapment was prepared and forwarded to Minster Lawrence Canaan, through Simcoe North MP Bruce Stanton's office. Subsequent meetings and discussions surrounding this potential revenue source have progressed to the point whereby Mayor Harry Hughes, Township of Oro-Medonte as well as the CAO, Mr. Robin Dunn recently had a meeting in Ottawa with Minister Lawrence Cannon, Simcoe North MP Bruce Stanton and Barrie MP Patrick Brown to discuss the advancement of this funding. While the Federal and Provincial levels of government work to formalize their agreement of the fund, the Township of Oro-Medonte has offered to champion the application process on behalf of the three municipal partners. As the funding structure of the package is that of a 33°lo equalized share between the Federal, Provincial and Municipal governments, the respective municipal contributions will be in accordance with the current tripartite agreement, of which the 2001 Fair Market Value Assessment numbers have been utilized for apportioning contributions. To date, each the City of Barrie and the Township of Oro-Medonte have confirmed their respective contributions. e} The Lake Simcoe Regional Airport was pleased to have once again, had the opportunity to partner with Canadian Forces Base t3orden and be the staging base of operations for the 2008 Armed Forces Day and Airshow event. The airport was host to various airshow acts which included the world renowned Canadian Snowbirds as well as the CF-18 Hornet demonstration team. The foregoing information is for your perusal.

The vaccine will also help Ontario remain free of raccoon rabies. The baits will be distributed by aircraft or by hand in the following areas: • Throughout southwestern Ontario • Along the Welland Canal in Niagara region • On selected islands in the St. Lawrence River and • In urban green spaces in Guelph and Cambridge. The public is asked to please leave baits undisturbed if encountered. A limited number of rabies cases are still found in southwestern Ontario. Rabies is also present near the United States harder in the Niagara and St. Lawrence River areas. QUOTES "Ontario has developed an oral rabies vaccine for raccoons and skunks that is proving to be the most effective in North America," said "Our province continues to be a world leader in rabies control." QUICK FACTS • Ontario has reduced rabies cases in the province by over 98 per cent since rabies control programs began in 1992. • Ontario has been raccoon rabies free since September 2005. • Exposure to a bait is not harmful to people or pets, but if people or pets come in contact with the vaccine contained in the bait, contacting a doctor or veterinarian as a precaution is recommended. • Flavoured baits containing rabies vaccine immunize most skunks, foxes and raccoons that eat them.

Burgess, MCIP, RPP Manager, Planning DATE: June 27, 2008 SUBJECT: Letter of Understanding -Planning Services Township of Oro-Medonte and the LSRCA RECOMMENDATION: THAT Staff Report No. 36-08-BOD with regard to the proposed Letter of Understanding between the Township of Oro-Medonte and the LSRCA regarding planning services be approved; and FURTHER THAT staff be authorized to approach other applicable municipalities to establish similar planning service arrangements. Purpose of the Staff Report: The purpose of this Staff Report is to seek approval from the Authority's Board of Directors with regard to establishing a planning service arrangement with the Township of Oro- Medonte. Background: In December 2007, the Board approved a Staff Report that ratified an agreement between the LSRCA and the Township of Uxbridge with regard to service delivery from a planning perspective. In general, a Letter of Understanding was reached between the two organizations that allows staff from the LSRCA to work out of the Township office twice per month. This arrangement allows LSRCA staff to work closely with Township staff in order to provide a "one-window" planning service at the municipal office. The arrangement, which commenced in January 2008, has been successfully implemented and has been well- received from the general public. Please refer to the attached status letter from the Township. Staff Report No. 36-o8-BaD Page No. 2 of 3 File No. Agenda Item No. 6 BaD-06-08 Analysis Based on the success of this agreement, we believe that other municipalities could benefit from a similar type of arrangement within the watershed. The Townships of Ora-Medonte, Ramara, Brock, and the City of Barrie were candidate municipalities identified in the previous planning report. As a result of a recent meeting, the Township of Ora-Medonte has expressed interest in establishing an agreement with the LSRCA. Please refer to the attached letter from the Township of Oro-Medonte expressing municipal interest. Recommended Agreement On this basis, we are recommending that a Letter of Understanding be established between the LSRCA and the Township of Oro-Medonte with regard to the pravisian of planning services within the municipality. This Understanding is based an the agreement previously established with the Township of Uxbridge. In general, the LSRCA Environmental Planner for the Township would work out of the municipal office on the 1St and 3`d Tuesdays of the month. The Planner would meet with municipal staff and clients on planning matters and assist the general public with general permitting requirements. Please refer to the attached Letter of Understanding far greater detail. Relevance to Authority Policy: Client service and satisfaction has been identified as an important guiding principle in the LSRCA's Strategic Plan. We believe that the establishment of this Letter of Understanding should help improve public service. Impact on Authority Finances: While there may be increased costs to the planning program as it relates to travel expenses, the laptop computer purchased far the LOU with the Township of Uxbridge can be used far this arrangement. As such, the impact to the 2008 budget is minimal.

To the many cities, towns, dioceses and communities that took part in this special opportunity to join us in celebrating our 400th anniversary throughout Canada, I sincerely appreciate your invaluable participation and support.

I July 30, 2008 Doug Irwin Township of Oro - Medonte Mr. Irwin, On Behalf of the Ontario Cycling Association, I would like to request partial road closure of the 6`" Line of Ora, North of Old Barrie Raad for apprax 500 m. The road closure would allow for bicycle crossing from Hardwood Ski and Bike trails onto a Country Forest section for the Fall Epic 8 Hour on September 27, 2008 This event is fully sanctioned and insured through the Ontario Cycling Association ($5 Million), and will have Township of Oro-Medonte named as an additional insured. The race organization will provide "marshals" at the closure and crossing points to ensure rider safety. Permission for the same events has been granted annually since 2004, with no apparent problems. Below is the proposed letter distributed to all mailboxes on the 6`h Line between Old Barrie Rd and Bass Lake Side Rd. Please let me know if you require any more information.

This report identifies that the Provincial system through its legislation, policies and regulations promotes sound land use planning and protection of ecological values.

The 10 recommendations contained in Mr. Miller's report are provided in the following table. Also provided are comments and a statement regarding the applicability of the recommendation for the LSRCA.

We are concerned that your underwriter may be increasing Mr. McKays' premium due to an error in calculating the rating in the Harbourwood area. The Township of Oro-Medonte achieved a Commercial Rating on our Superior Tanker Shuttle Accreditation in 2007. As you know, this rating greatly improves the safety levels and by extension the insurance rates for homeowners in areas covered by this program. The program is aimed at ensuring adequate levels of protection in areas without municipal or private water systems that can provide water for fire fighting. A little background on Oro-Medonte: Oro-Medonte is a very large municipality comprising 61,000 hectares with settlement areas as well as rural countryside. While much of the area is quite n~ral with no municipal water service, parts of the Township are protected by water systems that provide sufficient volume and flow of water for fire fighting purposes. The Harbourwood subdivision is one of these areas. This system, in addition to providing potable water to the Harbourwood community has a series of fire hydrants supported by a 36,000 gallon reservoir and fire pump which is more than adequate for fire fighting purposes in the area. A map of the area showing the locations of the fire hydrants is attached to this letter. zoo • ~ ~trsoi .~ ~ 2I ~~ a ~1~~~+M l L c~A~ttn~s IrI A!lOCi 1 1+Y]D~ CON ' V ~ 1 ~ ~ ~~. ~ c~~fq~,~.~ :LCI~ ~b . ~' ~ " , - ~ Y ' µ .. f i .. ii ~.~ ~ .i ~ :rv ' ~~i ',p~ t r . , ~ • ~' 3 _ t ~,,.~''~',- ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ _tr ,. ~ ~ Cl~N V r I . ~ ~ ~.~~25 a i ~, ' _. ~ .. ~j.. ~ ... ~ ,.. _- .L ._ ~ ~ ..

The Church Woods contain over thirty species of trees and form part of a continuous ribbon of forest, parallel to the Lake Simcoe shoreline, stretching from Barrie almost to Orillia. This diverse forest provides an important habitat far woodland wildlife such as pileated and red-headed woodpeckers, several species of warblers and vireos, and other birds and mammals. The marshy areas along the southern boundary form a habitat for frogs and other amphibians. The history afThe Church Woods has been closely linked to the historic St. Thomas Anglican Church ever since the construction of the church in the 1830s. Timber from the woods helped frame the church, and the pews still in use today were constructed from butternut trees in The Church Woods. In 2006, a committee of neighbours (Tim Crooks, Catherine Nixon, Suzanne Robillard, Dr. Jim Swan, Vicki Hand, and Brenda and Stan Glazer) enlisted the help of The Couchiching Conservancy to purchase The Church Woods. Preserving The Church Woods quickly became a community project. The owners agreed to sell the property at less than its appraised value. Committee members spent hundreds of hours soliciting donations. The Township of Qro-Medante pledged substantial support. Over 150 local families and businesses contributed, raising aver $640,000 in funds to make the purchase passible. The dedication ceremony for Church Woods took place an September 9, 2007 at St. Thomas Anglican Church, Shanty Bay.

That document is a Transfer between George Robert Snider and May Elizabeth Readman for a large parcel that also encompasses the streets. 7. Partial copy of Expropriation Plan No. 8050751 (Highway 93) and subsequent Transfer Plan to County of Simcoe No. 801421961; 8. Partial copy of Expropriation Plan No. 212946 (County Road 22); 9.

THAT both horse farms located on Line 10 North, between the Horseshoe Valley Road and the Bass Lake Sideroad, utilize their farm fields for spectator parking. 3. AND THAT the By-law Enforcement Officer be requested to monitor this area for weekend parking during horse show events. BACKGROUND: Correspondence dated May 16, 2008 was received from Ms. Myrle Strachan with concerns about cars, trucks and horse trailers parking on both sides of Line 10 North, between the Horseshoe Valley Road and Bass Lake Sideroad. This problem occurs on either a Saturday or a Sunday throughout the summer months and presents safety concerns to local residents travelling north or south on Line 10 North. ANALYSIS: This section of Line 10 North has numerous rolling hills along the location of bath horse farms and as such, parking definitely poses a problem for vehicles travelling north and south on Line 10 North. The Public Works Department visited both farms and requested the owners to make arrangements for spectator's to park within the farm property during horse show events, to eliminate traffic concerns and the need for the creation of a No Parking Zone along Line 10 North. Both owners agreed to create a parking lot on their own property for cars, trucks and trailers during horse show events.

If parking issues remain a concern in this area, it would be recommended to past Line 10 North as a No Parking Zone and all vehicles would be ticketed andtor towed.

File #: T05-38312 RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action For Information Only It is recommended that: 1. THAT Report No. PW2008-07 be received and adopted. 2. THAT a new sidewalk be constructed on the south side of Moonstone Road from Line 8 North, easterly to Ellen Drive, during the reconstruction of Moonstone Road. 3. THAT the Public Works Superintendent advises the County of Simcoe of Council's decision. 4. AND THAT the new sidewalk be included in the 2009 budget. BACKGROUND: During the 2007 Road Tour, Council and staff reviewed parent concerns regarding the need far a sidewalk far the safety of children walking to and from school from within the Robincrest subdivision in the Village of Moonstone. With traffic increasing along Moonstone Road (County Road #19), the need for a walkway was evident and more so during the winter months, as large snow banks reduce the width of the road shoulder and children are forced to walk along the road edge next to traffic. Subsequently, an on-site meeting was held with Mr. Christian Meile, Transportation Maintenance Manager with the County of Simcoe, to discuss these concerns. Mr. Meile advised that Moonstone Road was currently being engineered to an urban design and thus, had no issues with a proposed sidewalk on either side of Moonstone Road, providing the sidewalk meets the OPS specifications of 1.2 metre concrete walkway. Mr. Meile also suggested that the sidewalk could be included in the reconstruction of Moonstone Road from Highway #400, westerly through the village. Public Works August 13, 2008 Report No. PW2008-07 Page 1 of 3 Tatter Sims Hubicki Associates, consulting Engineers from Barrie, were contracted by the County of Simcoe to complete the design work far the reconstruction of Moonstone Road. Thus, TSH was also requested to include a sidewalk proposal from Line 8 North to Ellen Drive within the design work for the municipality. ANALYSIS: Draft drawings have been received from TSH showing a 1.2 metre concrete sidewalk along the south side of Moonstone Road, which runs from Line 8 North, easterly for approximately 340 metres to Ellen Drive. An estimated cost for construction of this walkway would be approximately $30,600.00, which would include a granular base and a concrete access to the school yard. As children walking to and from school during the winter months is a huge concern to local parents, consideration must be given to provide winter maintenance for this proposed sidewalk. This would require the use of an actual sidewalk snow plow for winter plowing and sanding maintenance, as the location would not allow a municipal plow or sander access to the walkway. FINANCIAL: An actual construction and maintenance cost estimate to be included in the 2009 budget deliberations. POLICIESILEGISLATION: NIA CONSULTATIONS: AI Lees, Totten Sims Hubicki Associates ATTACHMENTS: Draft drawing of the proposed sidewalk. CONCLUSION: That a new sidewalk on the south side of Moonstone Road from Line 8 North, easterly to Ellen Drive, be included in the 2009 budget for further discussion.

File #: Road T04-38311 RECOMMENDATION{S): Requires Action X~ For Information Only It is recommended that: 1. THAT Report No. PW2008-08 be received and adopted. 2. THAT the Township of Ora-Medante pays ane quarter of the cost for improvements to the intersection at Line 13 North and Old Barrie Road, in the amount of $8,625.00. 3. THAT this cost be forwarded to G. H. Stewart Construction Inc. 4. AND THAT the Public Works Superintendent advises the County of Simcoe, Lafarge Aggregates and G. H. Stewart Construction Inc. of Council's decision. BACKGROUND: Mr. James Hunter, Transportation Construction Manager with the County of Simcoe, has had numerous concerns with the Line 13 North and Old Barrie Road intersection regarding heavy truck traffic. These concerns consist of narrow intersection radius far larger gravel trucks, Line 13 North slopes into the intersection at a 5°!° to 6 °l° grade, and the extension of the accelerating and decelerating lanes on Old Barrie Road. Mr. Hunter arranged a meeting with representatives from Lafarge Aggregates, G. H. Stewart Construction Inc. and the municipality to review these concerns and discuss a possible cost sharing for this proposed project. During this meeting, it was very evident that both construction companies and the municipality were not in favour of proposed work, as this intersection was originally designed and built to County specifications and the estimated costs for the proposed work would exceed $500,000.00. As no agreement could be reached from this meeting, Mr. Hunter reduced the project to only include the widening of the radius and the changing of the intersection grade, with an estimated cost for this work set at approximately $344,000.00. A second meeting was scheduled and all parties agreed to an on-site meeting to discuss possible equipment and material sharing. There was no municipal representation at this Public Works August 13, 2008 Report No. PW2008-08 Page 1 of 3 meeting, however both G. H. Stewart Construction Inc. and Lafarge Aggregates agreed to a smaller project of a radius widening and a grade change at the intersection with reduced costs. This proposed work was approved by Mr. Hunter and the intersection improvement work was completed at a total cost of $34,500.00. ANALYSIS: A request was received by both aggregate companies to share the cost total four ways between the County of Simcoe, the Township of Oro-Medonte and both pit operators, with each share totaling $8,625.00. In reviewing the first proposed project, it was determined and conveyed to Mr. Hunter that the grade change, radius widening and the extension of the accelerating and decelerating lanes should be the responsibility of the County of Simcoe and the two pit operators, as this intersection was originally designed and constructed to County specifications and would not be a benefit to the municipality. Mr. Hunter then provided a second proposal involving a reduced grade change, radius widening and paving. Thus, both pit operators co-operated with equipment and materials to complete this project and the total cost was reduced significantly. Line 13 North, from the Lafarge and G. H. Stewart pit entrances, is a designated haul route and must be maintained by the municipality. The pavement at the Line 13 North and Old Barrie Road intersection has been deteriorating and will need to be replaced. Considering that the grade change will be a benefit to local residents and the intersection paving will eliminate the need for the municipality to repave, it is recommended that the Township of Oro-Medonte pay one quarter of the cost for the intersection rehabilitation in the amount of $8,625.00. FINANCIAL: This expense be financed from the Haul Route Reserve. POLICIES/LEGISLATION: CONSULTATIONS: C.A.O. Director of Finance, Deputy CAO ATTACHMENTS: None Public Works August 13, 2008 Report No. PW2008-08 Page 2 of 3 CONC~U51ON: As the municipality receives six (6) cents per tonne from all active gravel pits within the Township boundaries, a haul route reserve was created far these royalties to be utilized for construction, maintenance and improvements. It is therefore recommended to pay one quarter of the total cost of the Line 13 North intersection improvements in the amount of $8,625.OQ, and that this expenditure be financed from the Haul Route section of the Public Works Reserve.

File #: - 43T-93019 D12-5937 RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action X~ For Information Only It is recommended that: 1. THAT Report #EES2008-31 be received and adapted. 2. THAT in Schedule "G" of the Subdivision Agreement "Deeds and Easements to be Conveyed'; six (6) lots that are mutually agreed upon by the Developer and the Township be identified in Stage 3 and held in escrow with the Township solicitor receiving the deeds to the lots and the Township named as the transferee. The deeds are to be held in escrow until: a) the work is completed, or other acceptable financial security is provided, upon which the deeds will be returned to the Developer; or b) the work has not been satisfactorily completed by a certain time or event following which the escrow is released and the Township solicitor may proceed to register the deeds. The Developerlownerrnust provide their solicitors undertaking that the title is clear for the lots in question and they will not be sold ar encumbered pending the deeds registration or return. 3. AND THAT the Developer is noti#ied of Council's decision. BACKGROUND: Conditions far Draft Plan Approval were issued in 1994 to 850892 Ontario Limited (now 2Q08628 Ontario Ltd. -Diamond Valley Estates) to construct a one hundred and thirty seven (137) single lot residential development located between Line 6 and Line 7, south of Horseshoe Valley Road, composed of East and West Half of Lot 3, Concession 7, in the Township of Oro-Medonte (formerly the Township of Oro). Engineering and Environmental Services August 13, 2008 Report No. EES2008-31 Page 1 of 4 Conditions of the Draft Plan Approval were revised in 2004 to alter certain conditions relating to a private recreational facility to allow for a public facility. Condition #6 requires "that the owner acknowledge in the Subdivision Agreement that no building permits will be released for any residential building lots in the draft Plan of Subdivision, until such time as an agreement has been entered into between Monica Interior Design Inc., 767987 Ontario Limited, 850892 Ontario Limited and the Indian Park Association, respecting the re-location of the 6th Line intersection with County Road 22". This Agreement was entered into by By-law No. 94-133 on September 7, 1994, by all parties. Condition #7 requires "that the Township acknowledge, in writing, that the agreement referenced in Condition #6 has been entered into and that the road improvements are properly funded before final approval." Condition #8 requires that the owner acknowledge in the Subdivision Agreement that building permits may be issued for fifty {50) percent of the lots, subject to the fulfillment of Condition #'s 6 and 7. The owner further acknowledges in the Subdivision Agreement that the Holding Symbol will not be removed and that building permits for the final fifty (50} percent of the lots will not be issued until such time as the Township confirms that identified improvements to County Road 22 have been completed, or are in the process of being completed, to the satisfaction of the Township. ANALYSIS: The Township entered into aPre-Servicing Agreement with Diamond Valley Estates in 2003 to construct the municipal services in Stage 1 of their development. The owner is now in the process of satisfying the forty (40) draft plan conditions, after which time they will request the Township to enter into a Subdivision Agreement. The owner has indicated that the development will be developed in seven (7) stages, with the first three (3} stages consisting of seventy (70} lots, or approximately 50% of the development. The owner has requested that the requirement of Condition #7 be delayed until fifty (50) percent of the building permits have been issued, ar satisfy the financial obligation within sixty (60) days written notice from the Township (as per attached letter from Jones Consulting}. After conversations with Mr. Chris Williams, Township solicitor, we are both of the opinion that it would not be in the Township's best interest to not hold any securities to ensure the completion of the 6th Line. An option would be far the Township to hold lots in escrow with the Township solicitor receiving the deeds to the lots with the Township named as the transferee. The deeds would be held in escrow until: Engineering and Environmental Services August 13, 2008 Report No. EES200$-31 Page 2 of 4 _: a) the work is completed, ar other acceptable financial security is provided, upon which the deeds will be returned to the developer; or b) the work has not been satisfactorily completed by a certain time or event following which the escrow is released and the Township solicitor may proceed to register the deeds. The Developerlownerwouki be required to provide their solicitors undertaking that the title is clear for the lots in question and they will not be sold or encumbered pending the deeds registration or return. As there are Holding Symbols on all the lots within the development, the Holding Symbols would only be removed an a stage by stage basis. This would allow the Township to also have the ability to request the financial obligation within thirty (30) days of written notice, after which time no further building permits would be issued. The present total cost estimate prepared by TSH to complete the 6th Line work is $516,974.50, of which $283,668.00 would be the responsibility of Diamond Valley Estates. Therefore, to ensure the future completion of this work, the Township would hold six (6) lots in escrow. FINANCIAL: The Township would not receive taxes on these six (6) lots for an undetermined time, amounting to $250.00 per lot per year. The Township would be responsible for any legal and real estate fees if they had to sell the lots.

The purpose of this letter is to clarify and request direction from Council regarding outstanding matters required for final registration of the development. Consistent with Council's approach to advance older draft plan approvals, we would like to register the development in August 2008. 6th line Intersection Upgrade: Draft plan conditions 6, 7 and 8 deal with the relocation of the 6'h Line intersection with County Road 22 and these conditions collectively require that our client enter into the necessary agreements and provide appropriate securities for the relocation. Due to the uncertain timing of issuing building permits far not only our development but other surrounding developments, we would like to confirm when the necessary funds referenced in Condition 7 will be required: a) As per Condition 8, when building permits have been issued far 50% of the lots in our client's development; and b) Within 60 days of a Township's request for road improvement funds. In light of Part b) above, we propose to add the following clause at the end of Section 8.1.3 of the draft Development Agreement: These funds will be required in accordance with Section 8.1.E and within 60 days of a Township request once building permits are issued for SQ% of the lots. Pump House Inspection: We recognize that outstanding engineering inspection fees are due and our client's intention is to pay these fees (possibly with interest excluded as discussed below) in full prior to registration of the development. In the meantime, we write to confirm that our client will make a payment of $25,000.00 immediately to allow for the final inspection of the pump house. In closing, we would like to thank the township ands its staff far their continued support as we work towards registration. We genuinely appreciate staff's assistance and Council's consideration of this letter at their August 13 meeting.

McNiven Meeting Date: Subject: Motion # August 13, 2008 Ditch Issues in Laurel View Roll #: Homes Development R.M.S. File #: RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action X For Information Only It is recommended that: 1. THAT Report #EES2008-32 be received and adopted. 2. THAT drainage ditches in Laurel View Homes Development remain as designed, built and approved. BACKGROUND: On June 25, 2008, Council received a memorandum from the Director of Engineering and Environmental Services regarding ditch issues in the Laurel View Homes Development. A copy of that memo is attached for reference. A deposition from residents was also received requesting that the Township fill in the ditches in front of the remaining 25 properties in Phase 1. The deposition is attached for reference. The issue was deferred by Council at the June 25t" meeting and staff was directed to investigate the following three issues: 1. The impacts that coveringlfilling in the ditches in front of the remainder of the lots in Phase 1 would have on storm water management for the subdivision; 2. The future maintenance costs associated with a piped drainage ditch system; and 3. To contact the developer to determine if the developer would pay far the work to be completed. Due to on-going maintenance issues, and as part of the conditions of approval for the subdivision, the developer has since completed the installation of curbs and ditch piping in a portion of the subdivision where the road slopes are at or nearing the Township standard of 6°I°. This work was identified at the time the drawings were approved as a contingency if washouts became an on-going problem. This work was completed and paid for entirely by the developer. Engineering and Environmental Services August 13, 2008 Report No. EES2008-32 Page 1 of 6 There are three additional areas within phase 1 where the ditches have been piped. One area was completed without Township approval and the other as a result of the approved ditch piping work far maintenancelaccess reasons. The third area, located in ~ ~ 4 front of the original model hames, was piped prior to the rand being fully constructed to allow access to and parking far the model hames. ANALYSIS: The majority of lots within the Township of Oro-Medante include frontage on a municipal right-of-way drained by an open ditch. Generally, requests to pipe ditches at the home owners expense have not been approved within the Township. Oro-Medante is a rural municipality with standards and levels of service that have been approved by Council to sustain a rural setting, and provide the approved level of service based on current fiscal resources. As directed, below are staff's findings on the impacts on storm water management, maintenance, the developer's response and further information including discussions of possible options for Council's consideration. Storm Water Management Impact The Township Engineering consultant has confirmed that there would be an impact on the storm water quality. The remaining ditches are all at relatively flat gradients of 0.5% to 1.5%, which will assist in quality control. The flatter ditch grades and associated low velocities of the flows promotes the deposit of any fine particles of silts and sands in the ditches, rather than allowing these particles to flow to any receiving waters courses. Subsequently, filling of these ditches would impact the quality control within this subdivision, as the design does not include quality controls such as sediment bays within the storm water management facilities for Phase 1. Changes to the original storm water management design would require a Ministry of the Environment certificate of approval under the Ontario Water Resources Act. Maintenance Maintenance of storm sewers typically includes flushing of the sewers to remove debris within the pipes, repair of pipes, and removal of debris from inlets and outlets. In order to flush this piping, specialized flushing and vacuum equipment would be required. The cost to purchase this equipment (hydro vacuum excavator) for annual maintenance of the pipes would range between $350,000 and $400,000, depending on size and options. The Township currently rents a similar piece of equipment for approximately $300.00 per hour. It is estimated that it would take 8 hours annually to complete a flushing program for Phase 1 of this subdivision. Engineering and Environmental Services August 13, ?_008 Report No. EES2008-32 Page 2 of 6 The subdivision has not yet been assumed by the Township and it is still the responsibility of the develaper. The develaper is planning to have the subdivisian ready to begin into the two year maintenance period this fall. ~- Maintenance problems may arise in the areas where the pipe would have little or no fall (0.5°I°). Some lots may not be able to be filled as the ditch is not deep enough to include pipe bedding (0.15 m), the pipe (0.4-0.6m) and cover (0.300m minimum) and still incorporate a Swale (0.15m min.) that would allow both the lot and road surface to drain. Additional engineering design work may be required to determine if the work can even be completed in some locations. Developer The developer was contacted both verbally and in writing and has confirmed an unwillingness to finance further changes to the storm water drainage system. The developer did comment that if the Township, or the homeowners, would be willing to pay for the additional work, Laurel View would be pleased to assist in facilitating the changes. The Developer has received requests from several residents in regards to filling in their ditches. Attached is a cagy of his comments. Legal The Township solicitor has confirmed that the funds being held in securities for this development cannot be used for the ditch improvements. Council has been advised of the legal implications for each option. Residents An informal meeting was held an July 29, 2008 with the residents affected, Township staff and three (3} members of Council. The purpose of the gathering was to ensure open communication between the Township and the residents and to get input from the residents regarding possible options for Council to consider. A copy of the staff presentation and a summary of resident's comments are attached. After the meeting, staff reviewed each option. Below are the possible options with supportive analysis and impacts: Option 1 Remain with open ditches as approved for the remaining lots in Phase 1. The Township standard is for open ditches, except in areas where the road grade exceeds 6%. The ditches that are "open" are in locations with grades less than 6% and have been built by the develaper as designed and approved by the Township. The remaining open ditches allow far improved water quality as the slopes are such that water being conveyed along the ditch will allow for some settling out of fines. This was the intent of the storm water management design. Engineering and Environmental Services August 13, 2008 Report No. EES2008-32 Page 3 of 6 Qption 2 Developer to facilitate work with cost shared between impacted landowners §, through special Area Charges ar t`ocal Improvement Act. Laurel View homes have indicated that they are willing to assist by facilitating the remaining work. By having the developer facilitate the work, it will reduce the possibility of conflicts between the Township and the developer as the subdivision moves toward final assumption. The work proposed would be eligible to be performed under the Local Improvement Act where the cost of the work would be shared between the affected land owners based on lot frontages. Under the Local Improvement Act, for the work to be done, there must be at least two thirds {213) of the affected land owners in agreement. Qption 3 Developer to facilitate work with the Township to cover costs pending 2009 Budget approval. Residents of Phase 1 favour this option due to perceived safety concerns with maintenance of the remaining open ditches. Staff is unable to recommend this option because the ditches are built as approved by the Township engineer and to current Township standards. The Township is a rural township with standards that reflect the level of service currently provided and approved by Council. Retroactively changing the level of service provided for one area of the township establishes a precedent for the entire municipality. Consideration should be given to future costs that could exceed the ability of the Township to meet fiscal demands. The purpose of a drainage ditch is to allow the road bed to drain, the lot to drain and to convey that water to an appropriate outlet. The engineering design standards address flow and do not include special provision for mowing by home owners. Lawn mowing safety literature suggests that if a slope is perceived to be too steep to cut, that consideration should be given to different types of planting (e.g. low maintenance ground cover) so that mowing is not required. Residents are not required to maintain the drainage ditch as it is within the Township right of way. The current level of service for roadside cutting is twice annually. o tp ion 4 Wait until Assumption (approx fall 2010) and have individual land owners apply through a permit system -full cost to individual lot owner. Waiting until the subdivision has been assumed would avoid any possible conflicts with the developer regarding performance. The use of a permit system would allow for individual homeowners to apply to have the ditch abutting their property filled in at their expense. This option would require a policy change to our township standard for open ditches. This option and subsequent policy change would have staff and financial resource requirements for administration of the permit program Township wide, and for inspection of each property once the work was complete. At the information session held with the residents, they did not fully support this option stating that it would not end with a uniform streetscape if some lot owners opted not to complete the work. Engineering and Environmental Services August 13, 2008 Report No. EES2008-32 Page 4 of 6 From a maintenance perspective, this solution would still require a capital investment for equipment to da the maintenance. Option 5 Wait until Assumption and have Township complete the work with cost shared between impacted landowners through Special Area Charges or Local Improvement Act. This aptian is similar to option 2 but waits far the work to be done until after the subdivision is assumed in order to avoid performancelmaintenance issues between the developer and the Township. A capital investment would be required far maintenance with this aptian. Option 6 Wait until Assumption and have Township complete and pay full cast for the work - pending budget approval. This option is similar to aptian 3 but waits for the work to be completed and paid far by the Township until after the subdivision has been assumed by the Township. FINANCIAL: The estimated cost of installation/construction for the remaining lots within Phase 1 of Landscapes Subdivision {Laurel View Nomes) ranges from $150,000 to $200,000. The approximate cost divided between 25 lots would range between $6000 and $8000. Annual maintenance costs for flushing the pipes will be approximately $2400.00 and could either be included in the 2009 budget or charged under the Municipal Act, Section 326 as a special service and recovered from the abutting land owners.

File #: D12-12660 Roll #: Subject: Ditch issues in Laurel View Homes Development The first phase of this development, consisting of 66 lots, was approved in 2002. The development was approved with an 18.Om Right of Way with open ditch as per Township Standard OM-R16. In order t© maintain the existing topography, the road profile design ranged from grades of 0.50°1° to 5.82°1°. In two areas of the development (Tanglewood and Oakmont) where the road design was 5.80% and 5.82%, the Developers Engineer was made aware that this was very close to the Townships standard of 6%, which requires curbs, and that if there was a problem in the future with drainage causing damage to the road threw these areas curbs would be required. From site visits and pictures supplied by residents, it was evident that after rain falls severe washouts were occurring along the edge of the asphalt making it almost impossible far residents to get out of their driveways along sections of Tanglewood and along Oakmont. The Developer was notified of this problem and design work was completed late last Fall to place curbs and piping along the sections of Oakmont Avenue (lot 57 to Black 68, and lot 58 to Block 69) where the road grade was 5.82% and Tanglewood Crescent (lot 34 to Block 70, and lot 33 to Block 69) where the road grade was 5.80% to rectify this problem. Existing driveway culverts will remain in place with pipes being placed and connected between driveway culverts, complete with CSP ditch inlets. The work was approved by the Township and tendered out by the Developer last winter and scheduled to start this Spring. Notices were sent out to all the affected land owners by myself last Feb. notifying them of the proposed work and to remove anything farm the ditches that they may want to save. It should be noted that this work is being required because of the ongoing maintance problem that was happening and would not be acceptable for assumption by the Township. This work was not being completed because of the "deep ditches". The Township standard far the depth of ditches is a minimum depth of 0.80m to a maximum of 1.2m for the edge of road. I have not taken actual elevations, but would think the ditches in this development are somewhere between the min. and max. Since notification of the proposed work, a number of e-mails have been received from the residents in the balance of the development wanting their ditches filled in also. I have responded to these e- mails indicating that these ditches do serve a purpose, i.e. snow storage, road bed drainage and improving storm water quality, and that this development is not unique with some sections having curbs and others not, i.e. Ironwood Trail in Sugarbush and Valley Crest in Horseshoe as a couple of examples. Filling in existing ditches is not a policy that the Township in the past has supported. I also indicated that I didn't feel that if asked, the developer would do this work and was not sure how this work would be paid for if approved by Council. The current ditch enclosure work being carried out on Tanglewoad Crescent and Oakmont Avenue is clearly justified due to the ongoing erosion problems. There is no justification in extending the ditch enclosure work to the remainder of the development. The present status of the development is that there are only a few lots remaining to be built on. The Developer has indicated that he will place top course asphalt this summer which will start the two (2} year maintenance period for above ground works. The final assumption of the under ground works is now being prepared for inspection by the Developer. Until final assumption of the development by the Township in 2+ years, the developer is responsible for the subdivision. The Township is presently holding $495,000.00 in securities to ensure the completion of the approved municipal services. To use these monies for any other reasons would require confirmation from our lawyer. The remaining portion of the development along Landscapes Drive, Tanglewood Crescent and Oakmont Avenue are mainly at relatively flat grades of 0.50% and 0.75°1°. The connecting of driveway culverts for this remaining area may not be feasible depending upon the actual invert elevations of driveway culverts in order to maintain consistent grades. This would result in replacinglrelaying some existing driveway culverts, along with the restoration of the driveway granulars and asphalt surface (where required). A very quick and rough estimate to place curbs and piping in the ditches for the balance of the development is $160,000.00. If a significant number of driveway culverts and driveway surfaces have to be replaced, then this cost would rise accordingly based on the number of replacements to in excess of $200,000.00. This cost could be asked to be paid by the developer. (Would likely not happen) Considered by Council to be paid out of the Roads Budget after the development is assumed. Special Area Charge to the residents that would be directly affected by the work; $160,000 divided by 30 lots or approximately $5,400~1ot. The other option, which would be my recommendation and that of the Township's Engineer to Council, is to leave the ditches as designed. The problem is not so much with the road design, but with the large homes on small lots and the inability to grade their front yards. Allowing ditches to be filled in could be the start of something that could end up being much bigger and very expensive for the Township in the future. Thanks Keith -2- 'i ~(~~! Mr. Mayor and members of council, our concern is over the present decision taken by Ora-Medonte to NOT fill in the ditches and install curbs an all the properties located in the Landscapes subdivision. There are a total of sixty six (b6} properties, of which thrteen (13) are already without ditches. There are twenty eight (28) scheduled to have their ditches filled in and curbs installed. This leaves a total of only twenty five (25} properties that are scheduled to retain the deep ditches and instead of curbs have one (1) meter wide conglomerate "A" verges. We are aware that the original planning for Landscapes required that sn~ homes were to be built on large country lots. However, we also understand the plans were modified to provide for small city type lots on which larger homes would be built. This revised pl~u~ni~ig has changed completely the original rural ideology as we now have a city type development that is not designed for the open ditch concept. We have been informed by Oro Medonte that the slopes and depth of the ditches are within code and therefore acceptable even though it is almost impassible to safely v~ralk on the ditch slopes never mind operate a lawn mower, Some neighbors have already slipped while t~.ying to cut the grass in the ditches and have suffered minor in- juries. It is safe to say that they are an accident waiting to happen. In addition, we have been advised that the ditches belong to Oro Medonte and therefore they are not the responsibility of the property owner. However, as the ditches are an integral part of the front gardens as can be seen from the photographs, the home owner is obliged to keep them maintained, as we understand that Oro Medonte does not plan to cut the grass on a weekly basis, nor does it plan to fertilize or weed and feed as required. This becomes a serious safety issue for Oro Medonte. We have also been advised that the ditches are necessary for snow storage. If this is the case then why are thirteen (13) properties already without ditches and why is Oro Medonte planning to fill in twenty eight (2$) more? Another issue is the ditch design which allows water to collect in many of them as well as in the culverts. The water becomes stagnant and is a potential breading ground fox mosquitoes which is a serious issue. Where Tanglewood Crescent meets Landscape Drive the ditches, which are approx a meter deep, fill with water after a heavy rain fall creating a very dangerous situation fox the young children who play in the area. The problem with the ditches is further compounded by the fact that in some cases there is not enough set back from the road to allow fox the required one (1) meter of conglomerate verge. This means that the verge would have to be sloped into the ditch and thus during a heavy rain storm the conglomerate will be washed into the ditch causing more water flow and grass cutting problems. ..~ R 0 } With the present solution 62°l0 of the subdivision will have the ditches filled and curbs installed. It is inconceivable to the property owners that Ora Medonte would go so far, yet leave twenty five (25) properties located north of the easement with deep ditches and troublesome and unsightly conglomerate verges, It is just as danger- ous for these 25 properties owners to maintain the ditches as it is just as dangerous for them to live with the collection of stagnant water and the breeding of mosquitoes. Why should these property owners feel like second class citizens when they pay the same taxes as the other property owners? Why should they suddenly be faced with properties that will be valued less than those that do not have ditches and the con- glomerate verge. According to the sales brochure property purchasers would live in a manicured coun- try club setting with beautiful architectural designed homes. Purchasers were also ad- vised that there would be a strict control on the elevations of the homes and on the colours of the roofs, siding and trim, all for the purpose of maintaining a streetscape that would be second to none. This image was a major selling feature in convincing residents to purchase a home in the sub division. V~hile we can agree that the design concept for the homes was kept, the present proposal for the ditch problems will cer- tai~ly not provide the manicured and unified look we expected, but rather Leave phase 1 looking like it was abandoned before it was completed. How does Oro Medonte expect to sell phase two (2) with this as an example? A report on the ditch issue as written by IVIr. Keith Mathieson and published yesterday on the Oro Medonte website presents four options to soltie the problem. The last option states quote "The other option, which would be my recornrnendation and that of the Township's Engineer to Council, u to leave the ditches as designed'. Unquote. This is followed by a statement quote "The problem is not so much with the road design, but with the large homes on small lots and the inability to grade their frontyards" unquote. How can Oro Medonte make a recommendation to keep the deep ditches and yet acknowledge that the front yards cannot be graded properly! The last statement is the crux of the matter, we have large homes built on small lots were the front of the homes are located too close to the road and the foundation elevations on most homes are too high, making it im- possible to safely maintain the ditches. w S f ? In conclusion we request that C+ro Medonte acl~nowledge that the Landscapes devel- opment phase 1 consists of small city type lots that do not have the available space for the deep drainage ditches. Given this fact, we would like to tlhink that our snria]] subdivision of 66 homes will be finished in a uniform way. We would like to have the opportunity to safely maintain our properties including the ditches, even if they are owned by C>ro Medonte. We have great pride in our neighborhood and plan to keep it in such a manner that C>ro Medonte will be proud to show it as a prime example of excellent planning for further such developments that may be located in a rural area. Please provide us with the opportunity to make this come true. Thank you for allouTing us the time to present this deposition on behalf of the con- cerned property owners of the Landscapes development.

Residents want a uniform look and design through the entire phase - i.e. covered ditches and curbs Waiting until the Township assumes the subdivision is too long to wait to fix this safety issue Township should consider legal action against the engineers Permit option will end up looking like "patch work'" and we want a uniform look Ditches are extremely difficult to mow and unsafe. Feel like they are second class citizens because the other houses were done. Feel that their Property values far tats with open ditches will be lower because the others have been filled in. Option with developer doing work now and Township paying is the favoured option. Major safety concerns that need to be addressed and all lots should be done not just a percentage. Curbing at on top of hill on Tanglewood Crescent is not complete. Realtor made promises that are not being upheld. Under local improvements people with corner lots will have to pay twice as much. This is a unique subdivision for Oro-Medonte. The show homes now have curbs and gutters. Concern with the cost prorated based on frontage -Corner lots will pay more. Someone from the Township should take ownership and leadership. Do we want this to be the precedent far the next 8-10 subdivisions in the Township? The Township approved the subdivision plans and should pay to fix the ditches. Final course of asphalt should not be applied until the decision is made. Township concern for minor variations with decks but not ditches. a Laurel Vices Homes, Inc. -}001 C;hess4~~ood Drive.

As I'm sure that you can appreciate, the re-working of the engineering and storm water system at the landscapes at Horseshoe Valley subdivision has put the project into a deficit position. It is my understanding that the mutually agreed upon changes to the storm water drainage system was sufficient to satisfy the Township as well as the Township's engineers. For us to expand the scope of the adjustments at this time would be fiscally impossible. However, if the Township ar the homeowners would be willing to pay for the additional work, we'd be pleased to assist in facilitating the changes. Sincere) , h ~ _~ tr l ,j/`~ leiderman, President. '~ j ~~ ~~a ~,'~, a t ~ 1, Date Dear Homeowner: I'm in receipt of your letter dated July 25, 2008. As you are aware, when you purchased your home, the storm drainage system was already evident and consisted of a ditch and culvert system. The engineering design was approved by the township and their engineers. The system was built in accordance with that design. Certain latitude was given to our firm in relation to the overall grading given that the site was predominantly wooded and everyone, including the township, the developers, and the homeowners wanted to preserve as many trees as possible. As a result of this tree-saving initiative, certain lots may have been set somewhat higher than others resulting in a steeper grade where the lot meets the street. Being that these lots had ditches, the slope at the ditch was a little steeper than what was originally envisaged. To correct this, the township requested that we fill in the ditches that were affected in this manner and bury the culverts. The township's engineers inspected the subdivision and informed our engineers as to which lots should be adjusted in this manner. New engineering drawings were prepared and approved and the work was given out to tender. A contractor was chosen and the work has now been completed in accordance with those drawings. You will note that a Swale still exists on those lots where the ditches were previously located. At this point in time, all lots now conform to the standards set by the Township of Oro- Medonte. In addition, you will note that all the lots in the balance of the Horseshoe Valley subdivision have ditches. For you to suggest that your lot is now second-class is erroneous. Your lot is exactly the same as the hundreds of other lots in the various subdivisions throughout that area. Many of those lots command significantly higher prices than those found in the Landscapes subdivision. I would suggest to you that if you are unhappy with the ditch system as it currently exists at the front of your lot, that you inform the township of your desire to fill in the ditch at your expense, hire an engineer to design the remedial work and have that design approved by the township's engineers and then contract with someone to have the work done in compliance with approved drawings.

THAT Zoning By-law Amendment Application 2008-ZBA-05 for Resource Exchange, Part of Lots 27 and 28, Concession 3 (Oro} on Schedule A2 on Zoning By-law 97-95, as amended, from Agricultural/Rural (AIRU) Zone to Residential One Exception (R1*) Zane with a small portion of land along the east side lot line Environmental Protection (EP) Zone be approved. 3. THAT the Clerk bring forward the appropriate By-law for Council's consideration. BACKGROUND: The subject application seeks to rezone a parcel of land located on the south side of Ridge Road in the village of Shanty Bay. The applicant was recently granted consent by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) to create a new residential lot by way of severance, and as a condition of consent is now applying to rezone the conveyed lands from the Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) to the Residential One Exception (R1*) Zane. The severance was deferred by the Committee of Adjustment on July 19, 2007 (Consent application 2007-B-18), and subsequently appealed to the OMB. The Ontario Municipal Board approved the severance of the lot on the south side of Ridge road on February 13, 2008. The proposed lot will have a frontage of 42 metres on south side of Ridge Road West, a depth of approximately 80 metres, and a lot area of approximately 0.34 hectares. Condition 1e) of the OMB Board Order states that: the Appellant (Dennis Tascona) apply for and obtain a rezoning of the Ridge Road parcel to accurately reflect the intended use (residential). ANALYSIS: DEVELOPMENT SERVICES August 13, 2008 Report No. DS-2008-046 Page 1 of The subject lands are wooded, and a watercourse is located at the eastern limits of the property. The total parcel extends southerly from the Ridge Road to Lake Simcoe. A single detached dwelling is boated in proximity to the waterfront portion of the property. The site is primarily wooded. Existing vehicular access to the site is gained via a driveway access from Brook Street at approximately the mid-paint of the property. The new lot (subject lands} will have direct access to Ridge Road which is under the jurisdiction of the County of Simcoe. The County of Simcoe had no objection to the approval of the Consent application subject to conditions including obtaining an entrance permit to permit a new residential entrance from Ridge Road. This watercourse conveys water from the north side of Ridge Road in close proximity to Fire Station No. 1, under Ridge Road and southerly into Lake Simcoe. During consideration of the proposed severance and resultant OMB hearing, there was a concern raised in respect of this watercourse. Due to the presence of this feature, it was the position of the Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority that an analysis of impact of development on this watercourse be conducted. The proponent has subsequently retained Terraprobe Testing Ltd., who has completed a geatechnical report in response to this requirement. The conclusions of this report have been reviewed by the LSRCA who has established that a 15 metre buffer from the water course shall be provided. The proponent has indicated concurrence with this requirement, which will still allow for a generous building envelope towards the west side of the subject lands. In regarding to this zoning application, LSRCA has requested that an Environmental Protection (EP) Zone be placed an the area up to and including 15 metres from the centerline of the watercourse which traverses the eastern portion of the lands. Specific to this site, development shall be permitted outside of the Environmental Protection (EP} Zane, greater than 15 metres from the centerline of the creek. In the OMB Decision and Order, the Board granted a variance to reduction the lot frontage of the Brook Street parcel (retained lands} from the required 45m to 20 metres. It is noted that once the subject lands fronting onto Ridge Road is rezoned to Residential One (R1 }Zone, the 42 metre frontage will exceed the minimum required lot frontage of 30m for the R1 Zone and the minimum lot area requirement of 0.2 hectares. The lot was approved by the OMB having a lot area of 0.338 hectares. Therefore, no exception to the zone standards is required in the proposed amending Zoning By-law for the subject lands. At the Public Meeting of June 11, 2008, correspondence was received from a neighbouring property owner who raised the question if there was a black of land at the end of Brook Street in the ownership of the Municipality which abuts the retained lands of the Applicant. Upon investigation by staff, it was confirmed that Part 5 of 5 i R-11622 located in between the end of Brook Street and the applicant's retained land is awned by The Incorporated Synod of the Diocese of Toronto (Anglican Church of Canada) not the Township of Oro-Medonte. Staff has been in contact with the Diocese of Toronto to start the process of haw the lands could be transferred to the Municipality. The applicant enters the retained lands by way of a right-of-way over the block of land awned by the Diocese. This is an existing situation which has not been changed by the OMB approved consent to create the lands on the south side of Ridge Road. The zoning of the subject lands to Residential One (R1 } Zone will not change the existing access to the retained lands. Staff will continue dialog with Diocese of Toronto regarding the process of acquiring Part 5 for public ownership and forming part of Brook Street. The subject lands of Zoning Application 2008-ZBA-05 are designated "Rural Settlement Area" by the Township Official Plan. The retained lands have an exiting split designation as identified on Schedule "A" of the Official Plan. The middle section of the land is designated "Rural" and remaining section adjacent to the shoreline is designated "Shoreline". The existing dwelling is located in the area designated "Shoreline". The portion of the land designated "Shoreline" is DEVELOPMENT SERVICES August 13, 2008 Report No. DS-2008-046 Page 2 of zoned Shoreline Residential (SR} Zone and the pardon of land designated "Rural" it is zoned Agricultural/Rural Zone. The subject lands abutting Ridge Road will be zoned Residential One (R1 }Zone which is consistent with other adjacent properties within the "Rural Settlement Area" designation.

The requisite geotechnical report was submitted, and the LSRCA has reviewed same and has made recommendations on the appropriate setbacks from the watercourse. The proposed Zoning By- law reflects the residential use of the property as approved by the Ontario Municipal Board and the comments of the I.SRCA. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment conforms to the general intent of the Officio.! Plan. On this basis, it is recommended that Zoning By-law Amendment Application 2008-ZBA-05 be approved and adopted by Gouncil.

File #: Township of Oro-Medonte, 2 Sunset Crescent RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action X For Information Only It is recommended: 1. THAT Report No. DS 2008-047 be received and adapted. 2. THAT Council authorizes the request of Dan Creech to temporarily reside in a trailer far a one year period while his new dwelling is being constructedlrepaired. 3. AND THAT the Clerk bring forward to appropriate by-law authorizing the attached agreement to this effect. BACKGROUND: The owner has recently had the unfortunate misfortune of a structure (house) fire on the above noted property, located on the north side of Sunset Crescent, west of Highway 12. The house sustained significant damage, and the owner is requesting temporary permission to reside in a trailer while the dwelling is either repaired ar rebuilt (see Attachment #1 ). ANALYSIS: The Township has historically allowed owners to temporarily reside in existing dwellings or trailers and allow for a building permit to be issued for a new dwelling. This practice has been followed contrary to the Township's Zoning By-law, which only allows one dwelling per property and prohibits human habitation of a trailer (outside of licensed trailer parks), however is a reasonable compromise to assist owners in these hardship cases. A financial deposit and agreement (see Attachment #2) stipulating the terms of the approval will be required to be executed with the owners which ensures compliance after the new dwelling is complete. Council has granted one-year temporary permissions on other properties in the Township.

We request nr~kices of any formal or inftirrnai meetings reg2~rding the Draft Flan as well as the written notices as provided for in subsections 17{~3} and 17(35} of the Planrtirrg Act. The Township submissions regarding the Draft Plan are divided into 3 parts and relate to: 1. Section 3.5 Settlements, section 3.4 Land Use designations, and Schedule 5.1, specifically as they relate to Craighurst Settlement Area; 2. Section 3.4 Land Use designation, section 3.5 Settlements, and Schedule 5.1, spec~t~lly as they relate to IndustriallFmployment Uses along Highway 11 currently designated far such uses in the Township C3ffiicial Plan; and 3, Section 3_~ Land Use designation and Schedule 5.1, specifically as they rel;~te to the Edgar Special Policy Area. 1. Craitthurst ;3ettlemen# Area The Draft Plan contains very prescriptive policies regarding expansion or development of new settlement areas. Settlement areas are listed in Schedule 5.1 of the Draft Plan and include the Craighurst Settlement Area. The boundaries of the Craighurst Settlement area are specifically described an fhe Schedule 5.1 Map and simply reflect existing urban (' , ~lil,`, iii }i ~i ;~ir~ .~ Brookfield Plate, 181 Bay Scrser, Suits 1 BC#0.

The Township Offciai F'Ian however, contains specific policies regarding Graighurst and envisions it as a major full service settlement area with an anticipated 7QCi new la#s pending completion of a Secondary Plan and related studies. That Secondary Plan study is now almost completed having been interrupted by the iGAP process. The proposed boundaries of the Graighurst Settlement Area are substantially larger than the boundaries illustrated an the Draft Plan. The policy of establishing a major settlement area in Graighurst has been known to the County throughout the Township's Ufi`iciai Plan process since the mid-19$0's and was actively supported by they County during an tJntario Municipal Board hearing dealing with the Township's Settlement area strategy in 2tJ06. At that hearing, the Tawnship and the County both called planning and growth management evidence and made submissions that {amongst ether matters) supported a larger settlement area in Graighurst with an anticipated 7p0 new lots. !t was in part far this reason that the t~ntario Municipal Board refused appeals which would have de facto created another settlement area in the general vicinity of Graighurst. It should also be noted, that the Township's settlement strategy and the Graighurst settlement area were specifically dealt with through the Township's five-year C}fticial Plan Review with the full participation of the County of Simcae as the Township's approval authority. The ongoing Graighurst Secondary Plan process has had the full involvement of the County and would require Gounty approval as the Township's approval authority for Official Plan amendments. The Craighurs# Secondary Plan has been proceeded with entirely in accordance with the policies of the Township Official Plan and the currently in effect, County t7fficial Plan. Bath its methodology and its conclusions further the thrust and intent of the Draft C)fficial Plan as regards to full service settlement areas. For your information we have a#ached a chart outlining the history and progress of the Graighurst Secondary Plan. The mapping contained at Schedule 5.9 of the Draft Plan when read with the settlement area policies in section 5.5.6 would necessitate an amendment to the Draft Plan {if approved) which is entirely unwarranted and unnecessary given the extensive history and involvement by the bounty in the Graighurst Secondary Plan process in the Township t~fficial Pian. Therefore, the Tawnship requests that the Draft Plan be madrfied to include an exception in section 3.5.19 of the Draft Plan to state as follows "Notwi#hstanding the mapping in Schedule 5.1, the area and boundaries of the Graighurst Settlement Area in the Tawnship of Qra-Medonte shall be as determined by the Secondary Plan currently being considered in accordance with Section Aa.2.4 of the G+fflcial Plan far the Township of C'1ro-Medonte." /~IR1D +~ BERUS u.p ~~,~~ «~ P, CaO-~ ~~J~ a Ai'~ ~ i t ._ ~r) i .

Highway 11 lndustriallEmployment Uses Thc~ Township Official Plan designates certain Lands adjacent to or fronting on Highway 11 for Industrial uses in addition to the IndustriallCommercial uses permitted in the Oro- Centre Secondary Plan. Thane designations permit in accordance with the Township Official Plan a variety of Employment uses. These Employment designations have beers in place since the Township Official Plan's enactment in 1997 and the Oro_Centre sine its enactment in 2002 and approval by th© Gounty. The Highway 11 Industrial designations were considered and confirmed during thg Township's fives-year Official Plan Review with the full participation and support of the Gounty. However, with the exceptions of the Guthrie 5e~klement Area and the take Simcoe Airport Special Development Area, the subject lands are designated in the Draft Pian Ctrs Schedule 5.1 as either Greenland or Agriculture. Naving rAViewed Chase policies, the uses contemplated by the Township's Industrial designations and/or the C1ro-Gentre Secondary Plan designation may not be permitted. This would create ~ significant and unwarranted conflict between the Plans, Therefore, we request a s±atement regarding Employment uses which reflects and supports Employment uses as already provided in the Township's C7fficiai Plans. 3. Edgar ~pecia! Policy Area The Township Official Plan designates lands of the former Edgar C?ccupation Centre in a Special Policy Area designation which would recognize the existing infrastructure and buildings potential being capable of being adapted to a number of re-development uses, This Special TapUcy flrea designation has been in plane since the Township C7fficial Plan Arr~endrnent Number 5 enactment in 1999 and approval t3y the Gounty in '1999. The Special Policy Area designation was considered and confirmed during the Township's fivE-year Official Plan Review with the full participation artd support of the County. However, the subject lands are designated in the craft P(an as Greenl~rtd and Rural. [-caving reviewed those policies, the uses contemplated by the Township's Special P4iicy Area designation could not be permitted. This creates gat another significant and unwarranted conflict between the Plans. Therefore, we request a recagnititin of the Edgar Special Polioy Area as already provided in the Township's Qtficiai Plan. CC-nclusion Therefore, for the reasons noted above, we are instrL~cted to request on behalf of the Township the modifications as set out above to the Draft Plea.

Cowden, Director Meeting Date: August 13 2008 Subject: Motion # Report an Activities Roll #: , May, 2008 R.M.S. File #: RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action For Information Onlyo It is recommended that: 1. This report be received far information BACKGROUND: The analysis below and attachments comprise the report an our activities for the month of May, 2008. ANALYSIS: The Department continued to respond to a heightened number of incidents. This month, we responded to 52 calls, up from 30 last April, a 72% increase. Items of Hate: Rescue on Lake Simcoe: Just after 9 a.m. on May 4t", our airboat was called to rescue a man who was in a small boat drifting away from shore off the end of Line 9 South on Lake Simcoe. Upon arrival, a man could be seen drifting on the lake approximately one half mile from shore. The boating season not being in full swing, resources from other agencies were scarce and could not be confirmed available. The decision was made for the airboat to be launched to effect rescue. At the time that the boat put out into the lake, wind and wave conditions were described as calm, with small amounts of wave activity close to shore. FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES DEPARTMENT August 13, 2008 Report No. FD 2008-10 Page 1 of 3 The conditions on the lake deteriorated as the airboat made its way on the lake towards the stranded person and in the 10 minutes it took to reach him, wind and wave activity were degrading and waves over 1 metre in height surrounded the small paddle boat. The man on the boat was in danger of capsizing as the conditions worsened. The ~ °~ airboat came alongside and the crew put a lifejacket on him and brought him aboard their boat and made their turn for shore. At this point, waves approached 1.5 metres in height and were coming aver the bow of the boat. Seeing the danger, the boat's pilot turned to try and run with the wind to minimize the potential for swamping the boat. The high wave action, however, meant that waves were coming over the port side and continued to add water into the hull. Even with two bilge pumps running at capacity, water rose inside the boat and the crew were forced into a quick decision to abandon the boat. Using the rescue sled they had aboard the boat, they placed the rescued man aboard it and the crew, now all in the water, stabilized the sled to keep the man out of the water. During this time, additional resources from the OPP became available and air rescue from Trenton, ON, had been called to assist. An urgent call went out to alert these organizations that our boat had foundered and sunk. The OPP Marine Unit had managed, by this point, to launch one of their craft onto Lake Simcoe and within ten minutes of the sinking, arrived on scene to take on the fire fighters and the rescued man. All five people were delivered to shore at the Hawkestone Dock at approximately 10 a.m. cold and wet but unharmed. Over the next two days, a search effort for the airboat was conducted, but as of the end of the month, the boat remained at the bottom of the Lake. On May 14th, the Department, in concert with Fire Services from the City of Orillia and the Townships of Fiamara and Severn participated in a media event highlighting the need for fire safety at summer homes and cottages. Assisted by Kidde Canada, a major producer of smoke alarms and fire extinguishers, the need for all cottagers to maintain the same level of fire safety in their summer homes as their permanent homes was reinforced by all the Services. Coverage of the event appeared in most local print and electronic media, just before the Victoria Day long weekend. This month we began a recruiting program to hire new recruit fire fighters. Advertisements appeared in local media, and coverage by some electronic media raised awareness in the community of the need and value of volunteering in this way. On May 31St, candidates who met our minimum requirements arrived at our Headquarters for physical and knowledge-based testing. Thirty individuals participated, and were interviewed by the Officers of the stations to which they'd be attached. Mayor Hughes visited us that day and it was noted positively to me of the approval of our process.

This report be received far information BACKGROUND: The analysis below and attachments comprise the report on our activities far the month of June, 2008. ANALYSIS: This month, we responded to 33 calls, the first break in demand in 2008 from previous high levels. Items of note: Ladder 3-In March, Ladder 3 underwent Non-destructive Testing [NDT] to assess its' condition and overall fitness far service. All structural members and all welds are visually inspected, the hydraulic and electrical systems are tested to ensure safe operation. This was required testing to ensure that the vehicle can be operated safely and that it's up to the jab for which it is intended. The report found several issues that required addressing and arrangements were made for Barrie Welding and Machine to evaluate and provide an estimate on the work. Ladder 3 was removed from service far 11 days while the work was performed. Pumper 3 was also out of service for one week to repair damage that occurred while responding to a late-night medical emergency in May. Our Reserve Pumper was FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES DEPARTMENT August 13, 2008 Report No. FD 2008-11 Page 1 of 3 placed into service and ensured that there was no gap in service delivery to the community. On June 19t", Lake Simcoe Regional Airport received some very important visitors in the form of the Snowbirds Air Force Demonstration team, three CF-18 fighter jets and a WWII-era Spitfire fighter plane. In order to ensure the safety of the crews and pilots with these crafts, DND sent three Aircraft Fire Trucks to the airport and asked our Department for assistance with water supply. We gladly sent one of our tankers to stand by at the airport for the four days that these aircraft were operating from LSRA. am glad to report that our services were not required. On June 24t", we attended a meeting hosted by the Legal Dept. of the City of Barrie with many of the Police, Fire Services and bylaw enforcement agencies in Simcoe County to discuss the processing of legal proceedings stemming from Provincial Municipal bylaw Offences. A 1997 agreement between the City of Barrie and the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General has Barrie managing the Courts that see these infractions in Simcoe County. We learned about recent changes in process, how these will be handled and the work that is being done to decrease the wait times far a Court date. During the month of June 3 meetings were held across the County of inform Municipal Council's about a proposed program for managing Hazardous Materials incidents in the County. As Council is aware, a joint services committee comprising expertise from Police, Fire Services, Paramedics and Public Health have worked since 2006 to completed a proposal far acounty-wide team that will be able to deal incidents that are currently outside the capability of most emergency services. Our Fire Service has been a leader on this project, which will provide increased protection for the community, in terms of both life safety and economic impact. A grant from Public Safety and Security Canada is in process and expected to assist with the initial equipment required for the team. On June 26t", All District Officer's and Captain's met with the Chief and Deputy for an update on upcoming events and other Department business. Twenty four of our thirty Officers were in attendance as were Mayor Hughes and CAO Rabin Dunn These meetings are designed to provide information to all Officer's on new training and equipment, upcoming changes in policy and procedure and far us to receive input from our more senior members on future needs and opportunities.

Cowden, Director Meeting Date: Subject: Motion # August 13 2008 Report on Radio system Roll #: Improvements R.M.S. File #: RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action For Information Only It is recommended that: 1. This report be received and adopted; 2. That Paint to Point Communications be authorized to supply and install a new radio repeater system for the Fire Service at the Shanty Bay Pump house Tower; 3. That the sole source provision of the Purchasing bylaw be applied in this instance, and; 4. That the funds, $51,441 plus taxes as allocated in our 2008 budget, be approved for this project. BACKGROUND: In 2004, Industry Canada introduced changes in radio systems communications in Canada. The Township's radio system for the Fire and Emergency Services was in need of modernization at the time and plans were made to update the entire system. For a number of different reasons, only part of this plan was completed. In 2006, we used computer-generated modeling to evaluate the design of the new system. The 2004 plan was updated using the new technology. We moved our second tower to a new location and installed, `simulcast,' [both towers transmit simultaneously] hardware at our main location in Edgar to improve the system. We also installed a `receiver' site at Mt. St. Louis to improve the ability of portable radios to access our radio system. The new system has greatly improved communications and is in part responsible for improving our overall response times. We have, however, found that the Shanty Bay area has not seen the improvement in communications required. In this area, while better than the previous system, our radio FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES DEPARTMENT August 13, 2008 Report No. FD 2008-12 Page 1 of 3 communications are not of the quality that we need ar that the projected models indicated prior to installation. The topography of the area is, we believe, partly responsible far these issues. We have worked nearly continuously with Point to Point and our fire fighters to improve the system and have exhausted other avenues far improvements to the system. The logical next step is the installation of a full radio repeater site in Shanty Bay, replacing the receiver-only site currently there. ANALYSIS: The current system has Receiver Sites located at the Shanty Bay Pump House radio tower and at Mt. St. Louis to allow portable radio's access to the main system. Our main transmitlreceive sites are located at Hawkestone and Edgar. These receivers take the signals they receive and transmit them to the main transmitter in Edgar which transmits through its' antenna and the one at our Hawkestone site. These sites were installed to cover the distance between the remote sites and the main towers. Handheld portable radios, while they can `hear' signals from greater distances, are not capable of transmitting great distances [10 miles from Shanty Bay, 10.5 miles from Mt. St. Louis]. The Mt. St. Louis receiver site was installed in 2006 and uses a microwave transmitter to send the signals it receives to the main tower at Edgar. While we have made several changes to the system to improve reception in Shanty Bay, we have not seen the required improvement. After exhausting other options available, in December of 2007 Point to Point Communications provided a quote for the supply and installation of a repeater for the Shanty Bay pump house tower. [Attachment No. 2] The price, as quoted, is $51,441. This price also reflects the trade-in value of the equipment we currently have at this site [$6,000]. This price also includes the installation of a microwave transmitter system between Shanty Bay and Edgar which will eliminate the need for the telephone line connection currently in place which currently casts approx. $200. per month. Point to Paint has been the sole supplier on this system and owns two of the four sites where our antenna's are located, supplying the space rent-free. As the radio system is comprised solely of Motorola-brand equipment and Point to Point is the primary Motorola dealer far this area we recommend that the new equipment is `sale-sourced' through them. FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES DEPARTMENT August 13, 2008 Report No. FD 2008-12 Page 2 of 3 FINANCIAL: Capital Project Worksheet [Att. No. 1 ]budgeted $55,000. to complete this work. This change will net approximately $200 per month in savings through the cancellation of the dedicated phone line between the two sites.

ATTACHMENTS: 1. 2008 Fire and Emergency Services Capital Budget Worksheet, Radio system; 2. Quotation letter, Point to Paint Communications, December 2007 CONCLUSION: This improvement will improve our ability to call out fire fighters in the Shanty Bay community and will improve communications between emergency incidents in this area and the rest of the Department. Delivery and installation will take approximately 90 days from placement of the order. Respectfully submitted:: q ~. ,, Scott P.

PROJECT RATIONALE: In early 2006, we instatied a 2p° repeater outside the village of Hawkestone an space rented an a radia tower awned by Rogers Communications. This repeater greatly improved the penetration of our radia signal in the south east quadrant of the Twp, north tc~ Warminster. The data model provided by the system installer showed that the signal was not full strength in the south west quadrant [shanty bay] but that, theoretically, there would be sufficient signal in the area. In practice, we have found that we are experiencing a constant degraded signal in this quadrant in an area roughly bounded by Line '7 south from Ridge rd, along Ridge rd to shanty bay, the settlement area of Shanty Bay, and along Shanty Bay rd to our border with Barrie. bVe have worked continuously an this problem since mid-2006. When our pagers are activated in this area, the voice signal is most described as, `scratchy and full of static,' and the staff have difficulty hearing the information required to be able to respond to the site of an emergency. We have taken the existing equipment as far as we can to try to remedy the problem with the existing resources. VVe have adjusted the output afaur two existing repeaters, realigned the antenna's to `paint' the signal towards the weak area, moved one receiver antenna to a higher tower and even replaced all the alder pagers with mare signal- sensitive units for the Shanty Bay crew. Each of these changes required pre-and-past- change testing to determine whether our efforts were improving our ability to reach our volunteers. None of these efforts have produced a substantive improvement in the signal strength in the area. There are a number of issues that may be contributing to this problem, Wane of which we have control over in terms of geography and other Radio Frequency [RFC interference in the area. PRC?JECT LIwIPACT (3N OPERATIhtG COSTS: 569-5 The cast of the repeater and wireless link ,irrin~~cinent we're using on the other sites is $SS,UO0. This price is the purchase price including installation and set up far the units required to augment the system. There are na monthly charges in addition to this other than annual licensing from Industry Canada. We da, however, have the ability to save an the monthly fees we're paying far `wire links'-telephone wires connected to the current radix receiver at the pump house in shanty bay. We're currently paying just under ~?OOi~nonth for the use of these lines. The new system is wireless, using a high frequency radio link from shanty Say to our main site in Edgar. In 20C)6, we examined the 10 year impact of the radio system we lacked to install. As we're beginning year 3 of that plan, we have adjusted the savings from eliminating the wire link to reflect 8 years. The 8 year savings will be ~ 1 q,2~0 in today's terms without any increase in service price that would inevitably occur from Bell Canada.

Currently, there are two transmitter sites at Edgar and Hawkestone. After extensive studies and testing with the existing system there is a radio coverage deficiency in Shanty Bay. The solution to solving this problem would be to add a transmitter site in Shanty Bay. The good news is that there is already a tower site located in Shanty Bay currently being used by the Fire Department and there is no site rental being paid for this. The existing Shanty Bay site for the Fire Communications system is only a receiver site. We would suggest malting this site a full transmit and receive sate incorporated into the existing simulcast system. To complete the project you will need a Motorola Repeater, simulcast equipment for the site, a wireless radio link between Shanty Bay and Edgar (this will get rid of your existing monthly payment to Be]I for the wire line connection) and installation, testing and realignment of the entire system. The cost to complete the project will be 557,41 plus applicable taxes. However, we will apply atrade-in credit for your existing receiver that is being used in Shanty Bay for $6,000. Therefore, the actual price for the project would be $51,~1~11 plus applicable taxes. If you have any questions please call me C 72I-9K77.

File #: RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action LX For Information Only It is recommended: 1. That report RC2008-24 be received and adopted 2. That the Clerk bring forward the appropriate By-Law for Council's consideration BACKGROUND: At the Committee of the Whole meeting of July 16, 2008, Council received correspondence from Jahn Blaubergs regarding concerns of excessive noise from South Side Bass Lake Park (Attachment #1 ). ANALYSIS: South Side Bass Lake Park is located at the end of Line 13 at Bass Lake. The 2 acre park contains a gravel beach and boat launch, grassed area, parking lot and wooded area. The park is highly used in the summer months as the area has a gravel beach and boat launch providing the only public boat access to Bass Lake. The fact that the area provides water access and is remote, also makes it an attractive place for loitering in the evening, which often creates issues for neighbouring residents as indicated by Mr Blaubergs. The Ontario Provincial Police have also confirmed that there have been 8 reported calls for service in the area for disturbing the peace in the last 6 years. The Township has number of other remote waterfront parks such as the Shanty Bay and Hawkestone Wharfs which share the same attractive qualities for day use and problematic evening use. Attempts have been made to restrict vehicular access into these parks through the inclusion of physical barriers, however this has proven to be difficult to administer as barriers require manual installation or locking at set hours. Recreation and Community Services August 13 2008 Report No. RC2008-24 Page 1 of 3 By-law 2004-085 establishes regulations with respect to Municipal Parkland and Municipally Owned Lands used for Recreational Purposes {Attachment #2). Currently the By-law does not regulate hours for park use. Establishing hours for park use would help solve the problem of noise in the late evening and early morning, as well as aid in reducing vandalism in parks. The inclusion of hours of use in By-law 2004-085 would restrict use during set hours and would enable enforcement by the Ontario Provincial Palice under the Trespass to Property Act. The intent would not be to regulate responsible individuals walking their dogs etc but rather to regulate loitering and associated problematic behaviours. This has been proven to be an effective tool in many Municipalities. Ontario Staff Sergeant Dirk Cockburne has confirmed that the Ontario Provincial Police would be able to provide enforcement when called under the Trespass to Property Act and concurs on the establishment hours of use and the effectiveness of such a regulation. It is recommended that By-law 2004-085 be amended to address hours of use and reviewed for any other necessary amendments.

My wife Ellen and I live at 2 Petherwin Place off Line 13 at Bass Lake. I spoke to you a couple of times last year, about the problems in the clearing at the end of Line 13. These problems have been going on for ten years now and unfortunately, continue to escalate. Let me give you an update. On Canada Day, we were awakened at 5:00 am by the arrival of the first fishermen. A steady stream of further arrivals ensured that we would not be going back to sleep. Far the rest of the day, this small clearing was packed with dog owners and dogs, picnickers, swimmers, partiers, sea-doers, boaters, pocket bikes, and gas-powered, remote controlled boats. Attempting to have a swim or just relax in a lounger was futile as the sea-doers and boaters continuously roared back and forth directly in front of our dock. Asking them to be courteous and respect our space a bit did no good whatsoever. Even the pleasure of enjoying our supper on the back porch on such a lovely day was ruined by blaring music and foul language. These activities continued until midnight. But there was more to came. At 12:30 a.m., round one of the fireworks began. The second round began at 3:30 a.m. We managed to get a total of two hours sleep before the arrival of more fishermen. Isn't it ironic that on the day we celebrate Canada and all of its freedoms, we were virtual prisoners in our own home. I hope your Canada Day was more pleasant. We all deserve it. I had a good discussion with the OPP officer who responded to my call when the first round of fireworks began. He made two interesting points. The first was that there were five cars parked at the lake, packed with more than a dozen youths and enough fireworks to light up the sky for hours. Second, since the response was to a municipal noise by-law infringement, he could not charge them and would not be reporting this incident to our municipal by-law enforcement officers because they do not do anything about things like this, anyway! Those were his exact words. We were very fortunate that the OPP even sent an officer down to the lake. ~~ Unlike the public beach at Line 15 which is used primarily by swimmers, and the access at Bass Line which can only accommodate a few boats, the clearing at line 13 is larger and used by everyone for everything from morning to night, and into the early morning hours. There are many responsible and considerate users; a few others actually respond to requests to turn down their loud music, but there is a significant third group who is drawn to this location specifically because it is remote and unmonitored. These are our fellow citizens who arrive by barreling down Line 23 at top speed. They love to scream, swear, boat wherever they want, blare laud music, consume alcohol, allow their children to scream and dogs bark incessantly; and then they leave by spinning their wheels and burning rubber, sometimes as late as 3:30 a.m. While these disturbances are a nuisance during they day, those that occur between 11:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., are particularly maddening. These "citizens" have an "in your face" attitude, na respect or consideration for others, and a sense of entitlement where na one is going to tell them otherwise. And they are correct. The Oro-Medante council will not do anything, nor will the by-law enforcement officers, ar the OPP. Should same private citizen attempt to reason with these kinds of people, they are met with foul-mouthed replies and threats. The lack of any effort whatsoever by our council over the years, to try to control and prohibit the activities of this particular group, is an affront to law-abiding, respectful and decent citizens. I am not a nimby nor do I want to infer that these are everyday or continuous occurrences. However, the cumulative effect of these activities over the years impacts tremendously on our privacy and quality of life. We have no abjection to anyone enjoying Bass Lake but that entitlement should not be absolute and should be tempered with the rights of the area's property owners. Z fail to see how allowing the public to da whatever they want at this spot, 24!71365, represents much of a balance. The situation is becoming desperate. We love our home but the quality of our lives has deteriorated significantly. We are at our wits' end. Last year, you suggested that something was in the works at the council level which would help resolve some of these problems. Could you give us an update an any progress? Have a peaceful summer and enjoy the lake and your dock. Let us know how that feels. We are feeling a bit envious at the moment; we've put up with a lot over the past ten years!
