New residential and commercial assessment in 2008 has resulted in the municipality's assessment base increasing by 0.625°l0. This increase results in an additional $58,124 of taxation revenue being generated prior to any tax rate increase. Taxation revenue of $9,675,750 can be generated without a tax rate increase. Thus, each 1 °lo increase in the tax rate will generate an additional $96,758 of taxation revenue. The 2009 budget reflects a 4.61 % tax rate increase. Please see the attached budget summary (OV-1). The 4.61°lo tax rate increase for municipal purposes will result in a tax increase of $15.58 per $100,000 of residential assessment. When blended with the County of Simcoe's 3.40% tax rate increase and no increase in the residential Education tax rate, the overall tax increase is 2.89°lo as detailed below: 2008 Tax per $100, 000 of Assessment Township $337.96 County $273.84 2009 Tax per $100, 000 of Assessment Increase Increase $353.54 $15.58 4.61°l0 $283.15 $9.31 3.40% Education $250.22 $250.22 $0.00 0.00°l0 Overall $862.02 $886.91 $24.89 2.89% The net operating costs by department are presented on the attached Operating Budget Summary (C?V-2). Please note that the 2008 comparative figures have been restated due to the following to enhance comparability: Retiree health benefits previously in various departments now reflected in Human Resources budget F~ - Christmas dinner and flowers to Staff previously in Council budget to Human Resources budget - Salaries and benefits related to Supervisor, Parks & facilities Operations from Transportation to Parks & Recreation -Administration These adjustments are detailed on OV-3. Please note that Administration has been segregated into the following departments in 2009: - CA(J's Office - Finance - Corporate services - Shared costs Public Works has been segregated into the following departments in 2009: - Roadways Transportation & Environmental Services Far comparison purposes, these segregated departments are reflected on a consolidated basis on OV-2. Total capital expenditures detailed in the 2009 budget is $1,'710,211. Sources of financing of capital expenditures are: Taxation Revenue $2,156,149 Debt issuance $1,500,000 Investing in Ontario grant $1,484,137 Reserves $1,295,425 Federal Gas Tax allocation $ 603,500 Development Charges $ 19,040 Water user Charges $ 380,000 Other $ 2?2,000 The municipality's goal is to maintain discretionary reserves (working fund and contingency) between 10 to 15% of the tax levy. The budget reflects that these reserves will be 18.15% of the tax levy at the end of 2009. The municipality makes an annual transfer to vehicle replacement reserves to ensure funds are available when a vehicle must be replaced. Upon completion of the inventory of tangible capital assets, asset management programs will be developed and policies established relating to reserves to ensure long term financial viability. ~/ , 2 6?

Section D2.2.2, "Boundary Adjustments" in the Official Plan states that consent may be permitted for the purpose of modifying lot boundaries, provided no new building tats are created. It states further that the Committee of Adjustment shall be satisfied that the boundary adjustment will not affect the viability of the use of the properties affected as intended by the Official Plan. The lands to be conveyed are currently vacant and are not being used for agricultural purposes. It is the intention of the owner of the lands to be enhanced (Mr. Wallace) to build a single family dwelling an the property if the rezoning of the land to be conveyed is approved. Section C1.2, Permitted Uses within the "Agricultural" designation, include single detached dwellings, bed and breakfast establishments, home occupations, etc. In addition, the County of Simcoe has historically required that residential lots in rural areas generally not exceed 1 hectare, with the intent of minimizing the fragmentation of farmland. The total area of the enhanced lands would be 1 hectare if the rezoning is approved and all conditions of the consent application are met within 1 year of the passing of the consent application. Zoning By-law 97-95: The lot to be enhanced is presently zoned Rural Residential Two {RUR2) Zone, while the retained lands are currently zoned Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) Zane.

File #: REC4MMENDATI4N{S): Requires Action For Information 4nly~ It is recommended to Council: 1. That Report Na. DS 2009-013 be received and adapted; 2. That the Township accept Blocks 119, 120, 121, 124, 126, and 127 on the draft M-plan as an additional public parkland dedication to be identified in the subdivision agreement and conveyed to the Township; 3. That the subdivision agreement contain wording regarding the standards for development of the parkland and open space blocks; and 4. That the developer be advised accordingly of Council's decision. '' BACKGROUND: The purpose of this report is to assess the ability far the Township to acquire these additional blocks identified above far public parkland purposes rather than having these dedicated to a Corporation for private recreation purposes. The lands subject to the draft plan are located between Line 8 North and Line 9 North, south of Horseshoe Valley Raad and are described as Part Lots 2 and 3, Concession 9 (Oro), Township of Oro-Medonte. The lands were approved fora 230 unit residential subdivision in 1994 by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). There were 35 draft plan conditions that formed part of the OMB approval, which are required to be fulfilled in order to proceed to final registration of the subdivision. The development is intended to proceed in two phases; with the first phase comprising 118 lots located on the eastern portion of the development. The October 14, 1994 OMB approved draft plan conditions included two conditions (Conditions # 6 and # 20) which related to a public parkland dedication and the development of private recreation amenities within the proposed development. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES February 11, 2009 Report No. DS2009-013 Page 1 of 4 Condition 6 is specific to the Planning Act requirements for the 5% parkland dedication and states as follows: ~~ "6. That the owner convey up to 5% of the land included in the plan to the municipality for park purposes. Alternatively, the municipality can request cash-in-lieu of all ar a portion of the conveyance." Condition 20 related to the creation of a corporation and the develapment of a private recreation centre and private walkway and trail blacks within the develapment and states: "20. That the subdivision agreement contain a clause that a corporation be established following which the recreation centre, wetland blocks and open space blocks including walkways and trails be conveyed to said corporation. Initially shares in the Corporation shall be held by the developer and shares shall be transferred to each lot owner upon closure of the lot sale. The lot owners, though the corporation are therefore responsible for the management and protection of the lands in its possession, including the wetlands, under the supervision of the Ministry of Natural Resources. The Township shall ensure that the Corporation's operational plan is similar to that of the Indian Park Association. The Corporation shall ensure that the wetlands are only utilized for those purposes expressly permitted in the implementing Zoning By-law." The attached plan (Attachment #1) identifies the lands as specified by bath of the above conditions. Block 125 is the block proposed to be dedicated to the Township in accordance with Condition #6. Block 126 (private recreation block), and Blocks 119, 120, 121, 124, and 127 (private walkway and open space blocks) were proposed to be dedicated to the Corporation in accordance with Condition #20. ANALYSIS: Block 125 which is the public parkland dedication required by draft plan condition #6 is approximately 9.44 hectares (23.33 acres} in area and represents the 5% dedication required under the Planning Act for the entire 185.63 hectare (458.69 acre} land holding (the 230 lot residential development}. These lands were identified and confirmed through Council resolution in June 1994 as the lands to be dedicated to the municipality for public parkland purposes. The additional lands proposed to be conveyed to the Township for public parkland purposes rather than private parkland purposes are summarized as follows: Black 126 (Recreation Block) Block119, 120, 121, 124 and 127 (Open space blocks including trail and walkways and an emergency access black) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Total additional lands 1.58 hectares (3.9 acres) 2.62 hectares (6.47 acres) ------------------------------------------ 4.20 hectares (10.37 acres) DEVELOPMENT SERVICES February 11, 2009 Report No. DS2009-013 Page 2 of 4 The total lands proposed to be conveyed to the Township for public purposes would be 13.64 hectares (33.70 acres) which is approximately '7.35 % of the total land holding. The conveyance of the additional lands including the proposed recreation black and the walkway and trail blocks would provide the following advantages: They will ensure that the lands remain in public ownership and does not create a situation similar to the Indian Park Association common lands ownership, which is currently in the process of dissolving and divesting of their land interests Provides for the acquisition of additional public lands beyond the 5°lo required dedication under the Planning Act The plan as proposed would provide for a network of pathways and trails that link the open space, parkland and recreation blocks throughout the community, and provide the ability to review opportunities in Phase 2 of the development to assess potential linkages to the Ganaraska Trail. The trail network is proposed to be developed to Township standards and defined in the subdivision agreement. The dedication of the recreation centre lands (Black 126), the open space blocks identified for trails and walkways (Blocks 119,120,124, and 127) to the Township for the purposes of a public park, trails and walkways rather than to the Corporation as originally intended by Condition 20 would provide a public benefit to the municipality. FINANCIAL: The acquisition of the proposed developed parkland and trail network once assumed by the Municipality will require annual operating costs. POLICIES/LEGISLATION: Planning Act CONSULTATIONS: Director, Development Services Director, Recreation and Community Services ATTACHMENTS: Attachment #1 -Proposed Parkland Dedication DEVELOPMENT SERVICES February 11, 2009 Report No. DS2009-013 Page 3 of 4 CONCLUSION: The acquisition of the additional public parklands will avoid a problematic common land situation realized in past experiences and would confirm the public usage of the lands rather than the sole usage by the residents in the development. The acquisition of Blocks 119, 120, 121, 124, 126, and 127 on the draft M-plan for public purposes provides a public benefit to the Township and a suitable location for a neighbourhood park on Block 126.

File #: D08 13857 RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Actiono For Information Only It is recommended that: 1. THAT Report DS 2009-0005 be received; 2. THAT the draft Secondary Plan (OPA 27) for the Craighurst Community be received for discussion purposes; and 3. THAT the formal Public Meeting required under the Planning Act be scheduled on Monday March 9, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. BACKGROUND: On September 17, 2008 Report DS2008-66 regarding an updated timeline for the Craighurst Secondary Plan process was received and approved by Council. This timeline identified that the next step in the process following the holding of the Open House in December 2008, included: a review of the comments received from the Open House (Attachment #1- Summary of Open House comments), a meeting held with the Craighurst Working Group to discuss the comments and the preferred land use option, and the scheduling of the formal Public Meeting. The purpose of this report is to submit to Council the draft Secondary Plan document for information and to request Council to proceed with the scheduling of the statutory Public Meeting. ANALYSIS: A review of comments received through the December 2008 Open House has been completed. The draft Craighurst Secondary Plan (Attachment #2 -draft OPA #27) considers these comments, applicable legislation, and existing Official Plan policies. The Secondary Plan is intended to: establish the goals and objectives for new DEVELOPMENT SERVICES February 11, 2009 Report No. DS2009-005 Page 1 of 3 development in Craighurst which are consistent with the existing Township Official Plan goals and objectives, provide the policy basis and direction for the form and location of new developments in the community, and finally to identify the additional studies ¢ required to support new development n the Craighurst community. The Craighurst Secondary Plan proposes to expand the settlement area boundary to the north and east of the existing settlement boundary. The Official Plan Amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement in that the population proposed by the new develapment in Craighurst has already been accommodated in the population projections for the Township. The Official Plan policies require all new development in Craighurst to be completed an the basis of full municipal sewar and water services. The policies also provide the basis for the development of new residential, commercial and employment uses, a community park and trail system, an elementary school, and a range of housing types for all ages and incomes. The Places to Grow Growth Plan directs development to settlement areas on municipal water and sewage systems; and encourages the development of "Complete Communities" with a diverse mix of land uses, a range and mix of employment and housing types, high-quality public open space and easy access to local stores and services, such as that being proposed for Craighurst. The Growth Plan requires that minimum densities for new development in Greenfield Areas, such as Craighurst, be 50 persons and jobs per hectare. However an alternative minimum density can be established in the "outer ring" of the Greater Golden Horseshoe which includes the County of Simcoe. On this basis, the County of Simcoe in their Official Plan review have identified a minimum of 32 persons and jobs per hectare for the majority of the settlement areas, the draft OPA for Craighurst implements this County Official Plan requirement for a minimum density of 32. The Public Meeting to be held to review and obtain comments on the draft Official Plan Amendment (Secondary Plan) is legislated under the Planning Act and will proceed in accordance with the Township's standard public meeting format. The meeting is being scheduled as a special Council Meeting and is proposed to be scheduled on Monday March 9, 2009. The draft OPA #27 including land use schedules, and the Executive Summary will be posted on the Township's website; the executive summary will also be mailed with the Notice of the Public Meeting. An opportunity for residents to attend the Township office immediately prior to the Public Meeting to review the land use schedules on a more informal basis is also intended to be provided from 6-7 p.m. All of the documents subject to the Public Meeting are also available for review and discussion with Planning Division staff at any time prior to the formal Public Meeting. Attachment #3 provides an overviewlsummary of the draft OPA (Secondary Plan) including what the purpose of the Secondary Plan is, the highlights of what the Secondary Plan establishes in regards to new policy designations, the additional study requirements and design guidelines required to support new developments in Craighurst. As indicated above, this "Executive Summary" will be posted on the Township's website with the Public meeting notice and mailed out with the Notice of the Public Meeting.

The Introduction is not an operative part of this Official Plan Amendment. PART II -THE AMENDMENT, including Schedules 'A1 and A2' attached thereto, indicates specific amendments to the Official Plan being effected by Official Plan Amendment No. 27 and is an operative part of this Official Plan Amendment. PART III -THE SECONDARY PLAN, including Schedule 'A3' attached thereto constitutes the Secondary Plan for the Craighurst Community. Part III is also an operative part of this Official Plan Amendment. THE APPENDICES contain information, which assists in providing the basis for this Amendment. 2.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this Amendment is to provide the basis for the development of the Craighurst Settlement Area. 3.0 LOCATION The lands subject to this Amendment have an area of approximately 113 hectares. Of this land area, about 77 hectares is located within the settlement area boundary established by the Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan. The remaining 36 hectares is located outside of the settlement area and is being added to the settlement area by this Amendment. Of this amount, 30 hectares is proposed to be the site of new development and 6 hectares applies to a number of single-detached dwellings located on both sides of County Road 93 and north of the existing settlement area boundary. The settlement area is centred on the intersection of two County Roads - County Road 22 and County Road 93. The settlement area is bounded on the west by Highway 400 and a main north-south Canadian Pacific Rail line. Lands to the south of the settlement area are used for agricultural purposes. Lands to the north of the lands subject to this Amendment are also used for agricultural purposes, while lands to the east are wooded and subject to the Oro Moraine Planning Area policies of the Official Plan. Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan Amendment No. 27 Prepared by Meridian Planning Consultants February 3, 1009 `~-~ ~ ` t V 4.0 BASIS 4.1 Basis for Craighurst as a Growth Area The first Official Plan for the Township of Oro-Medonte was approved in 1997. This Official Plan replaced five previous Official Plans as they applied to all or portions of the five municipalities that were amalgamated into the Township of Oro-Medonte on January 1, 1994. The Official Plan process at that time provided the Municipality with the opportunity to review growth and settlement issues on a larger scale. Prior to the creation of the Township of Oro-Medonte, virtually alt development occurred historically in rural areas either through the process of consent, in the shoreline areas or on estate and country residential plans of subdivision. To a very large extent, the rolling topography and natural beauty of the Township were reasons for this development pattern. However, Council recognized in the 1990's that this pattern of development was not sustainable and as a result, the new Official Plan at that time prohibited the creation of additional lots in estate residential areas, limited the number of lots that could be created by consent and curtailed the further expansion of the un-serviced shoreline development area. While prohibiting these forms of development, the Official Plan encouraged development in the future to take place in settlement areas. In this regard, both Craighurst and Hawkestone were identified as the two areas in which long-term planning to accommodate growth should be carried out. The 1997 Official Plan also indicated that the permanent population of the Township would increase by between 8,000 and 10,000 people by 2016. Based on an analysis of the supply of land available for development and the number of vacant tots and registered plans of subdivision at the time, it was determined that there was a need to plan for additional development in settlement areas in order to implement that population projection since Provincial policy required that each Municipality plan for up to 20 years growth. it is for this reason that Secondary Plans for both Craighurst and Hawkestone were initiated in 1999. Prior to the creation of the Township of Oro-Medonte in 1994, each quadrant of Craighurst was located in a different municipality and it was not possible to carry-out any comprehensive planning for the community. The Secondary Plan process initiated in 1999 provided that opportunity. Craighurst was selected as one of two areas in the Township which were considered to be ideally suited for growth because: • It is centred on the intersection of two major County Roads; • It is located adjacent to a full interchange with Highway 400; It is located at the gateway to a large recreational and residential area centred on Horseshoe Resort and Sugarbush; Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan Amendment No. 27 Prepared by Meridian Planning Consultants February 3, 2009 ~~~_~1 • It had a strong history as a cross-roads community on the historic Penetanguishene Road; • It is located on the flanks of the Oro Moraine and soil conditions are such that a range of options with respect to sewage disposal were thought to be feasible; and, The potential was high that there would be no issues with respect to securing an adequate supply of potable water. The Craighurst Secondary Plan process was delayed to allow for the completion of the Intergovernmental Action Plan (IGAP), the Oro Moraine Land Use planning exercise and the Official Plan Review in the 2001 to 2006 period. The product of the Oro Moraine planning exercise was Official Ptan Amendment No. 16 which identified a number of areas on the Oro Moraine that should be protected from incompatible development. OPA 16 also confirmed the existing Official Plan direction that the preferred means of servicing in Craighurst be full municipal services. A number of significant environmental areas were also identified and included within land use designations that prevented development. One such designation was the Oro Moraine Core/Corridor Area designation and certain lands located directly to the east of the then existing Craighurst settlement area boundary were placed in that designation. In addition, a new Oro Moraine Enhancement Area designation was established and it was applied to the watercourse corridors that were located on the south- western and north-eastern borders of the Craighurst Settlement Area and to a corridor located between an existing watercourse in the north-east section of the settlement area and a large wooded area that was identified as a Core area located to the east. The results of the Oro Moraine planning exercise are factored into this Amendment. The Official Plan review also initiated in 2001 at the same time as a review of the Oro Moraine resulted in the preparation of Official Plan Amendment No. 17. OPA 17 also reaffirmed the Township's growth and settlement oolicy framework and reaffirmed that Craighurst was to be planned for additional development, preferably on full municipal services. During the time OPA 16 and 17 was being prepared, applications to develop a 42 lot estate residential subdivision were submitted for lands located on the Oro Moraine and south of Craighurst. These applications were refused by Council and appealed by the applicant to the Ontario Municipal Board. In a decision of the OMB dated April 18, 2006, the Board refused the applications since they were not consistent with the Township's growth and settlement area strategy. Specifically, evidence was provided to the Board, which indicated that there was no need to designate additional lands for development since commitments had already been made through policy and the initiation of a Secondary Plan for Craighurst to develop up to 700 new units in the community. Following the decision of the OMB, the applicant sought leave to appeal that decision to Divisional Court. That request was also refused. Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan Amendment No. 17 Prepared by Meridian Planning Consultants February 3, 2009 ~~~~ The following was also noted in the OMB decision: "The Board, while it has wide powers to amend or modify municipal Official Plans should use this authority with circumspection and should not interfere in this fundamental municipal planning and decision making process unless it is clear: a) That the municipality has made fundamental errors in its assessment of its need for development lands and its ability through its land use designations and growth management strategies to achieve its projected growth; or b) That the decisions with respect to its growth and settlement strategies ore at odds with the directions of the Provincial Policy Statement; or c) That there hos been a breach of the prescribed planning process afforded individuals as a matter of right." In making a decision on the application, it is further indicated in the OMB Decision that: "The Board is satisfied that the Growth and Settlement Strategy as set out in the 1997 Official Plan is sound, represents in good planning, and clearly articulates the direction that the Municipality wishes to take with respect to residential development. It is a Growth Strategy endorsed by the Province. This strategy is in conformity with the County of Simcoe Official Plan and has had proper regard for and is consistent wfth the 1997 PPS. „ 4.2 THE SETTLEMENT AREA AND THE STUDY AREA In 1999, the original Terms of Reference and work program for the Craighurst Secondary Plan identified a study area that extended beyond the boundaries of the settlement area itself. At that time, as is the case now, the settlement area had an area of 77 hectares, of which about 27 hectares were developed and 40 hectares were undeveloped. The study area identified in 1999 included the whole of the settlement area and added lands to each quadrant. In 2001, the size of the study area was significantly reduced in both the northeast and southeast quadrants as a result of the completion of environmental studies and a review of the study area by the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority. It was never anticipated that the entire study area would be required for development. Instead, the study area was sized so that as many options as possible were available for consideration as part of the planning process. Township of Oro-Medonte q Official Plan Amendment No. 27 Prepared by Meridian Planning Consultants February 3, 2009 v ~ ~ifr Following the establishment of a reduced study area in 2001, a considerable amount of work on the servicing, stormwater and transportation components of the Secondary Plan was initiated and then completed, with reports being prepared in 2004 and 2007/2008. In response to suggestions made by the Ministry of Environment at the time, it was decided that it would be appropriate to integrate the Environmental Assessment process with the planning process under the Planning Act. As a result, work completed in the last few years by the Township on the servicing aspects related to the Secondary Plan was prepared in accordance with the Environmental Assessment process. The product of this work is this Amendment, which establishes that full services are required within the settlement area. This Amendment therefore establishes the principle of developing full services in the settlement area. In a report dated April 2008, TSH (now AECOM) identifies a number of alternatives with respect to the provision of sewer, water and stormwater management facilities and services. The TSH report concludes that there are a number of viable options with respect to servicing in the Craighurst Settlement Area. On the basis of a review of these options, TSH has concluded that: 1. There is an adequate supply of potable water available to service new development in the Settlement Area; 2. There are a number of viable sewage collection and treatment options that can be implemented in accordance with current Ministry of Environment regulations and guidelines; 3. A number of viable stormwater management options exist, with each of these options being developed in accordance with Ministry of Environment Best Management Practices; and, 4. A number of operational improvements to the road network will be required to support development. 4.3 The Community Design Process In 2001 /2002 it was determined that if single detached lots that had a frontage of between 12 and 18 metres were developed in the community that up to 700 dwelling units, plus an elementary school and community park, could be developed in the full extent of the study area identified at that time. However, the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement and then the 2006 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe combined now require that densities be higher in settlement areas where full municipal services exist or will be provided. As a result, the pattern of development suggested in 2001 /2002 is no longer considered to be neither appropriate nor sustainable. The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe requires that the minimum density for new development in Greenfield areas be 50 persons and jobs per hectare. However, an alternative minimum density can be established in the "outer ring" of the Greater Golden Horseshoe, which includes the County of Simcoe. Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan Amendment No. 27 Prepared by Meridian Planning Consultants February 3, 2009 ~,.~ ~ _ ~~ On this basis, as part of the 2008 County of Simcoe Official Plan review process, a minimum density of 32 persons and jobs per hectare has been established for the majority of the settlement areas (with the exception of the larger settlements in the County such as Alliston which have a higher minimum density) in the County of Simcoe. This Amendment implements the County Official Plan's requirement for a minimum density of 32. A number of options that review which lands are the most appropriate for settlement area expansion were prepared and considered prior to the preparation of this Amendment. These options are included within Appendix A to this Amendment. Given the location of Highway 400, the CP rail line and significant environmental areas, additional Greenfield land outside of the settlement area can only be sited in the northeast and southwest quadrants of the community. On this basis, options, which show development occurring in either or both, were prepared for discussion purposes. Given that approximately 700 units are required to provide for the population growth anticipated by the Official Plan, the 700-unit amount was used as the starting point in the determination of how much land was required for new development. In this regard each single-detached dwelling is anticipated to have a household size of 2.7 people. Each multiple dwelling, such as a townhouse, is expected to have a household size of 2.2 people. If the residential unit count were divided into a 75/25 split, that would mean that 525 units would be low-density residential units and 175 units would be medium density residential units. Based on the household sizes above, the 700 units would then generate 1,802 people, which translate into a blended household size of 2.57. In addition to the above, an elementary school with 540 students would have a staff of approximately 30. Lastly, if 50,000 square feet of commercial floor space was developed, about 150 jobs could potentially be created (at one job per 30 square metres). Lastly, with a nursing home, another 40 jobs could be created. As a result the total number of people and jobs that could be accommodated within Craighurst, based on the assumptions above is 2,022. Based on the above, the amount of development/Greenfield land required to support additional development based on a density of 32 persons and jobs per hectare is 63.18 hectares. It is recognized that some of the new jobs would be created on lands within the core area and already located within the settlement area. As a result, the amount of net Greenfield land required is designed to be flexible, to allow for a range of development options and for a full range of sewage treatment and disposal options. It is noted that environmental areas are excluded from any area calculations carried out to determine land needs in accordance with Section 2.2.7.3 of the Growth Plan. This means that the lands to be protected from development adjacent to the watercourses and the woodlots that have been identified are to be excluded from the density calculation. Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan Amendment No. 27 Prepared by Meridian Planning Consultants February 3, 1009 q..~1~ The amount of net Greenfield land within the current Settlement Area is 39 hectares. Given that a total of 63 hectares is required, an additional 24 hectares of net Greenfield land is required. This amount was increased by 6.0 hectares to ensure that the infrastructure required for sewage treatment and disposal could be included within the settlement area. Given that up to 30 hectares of additional net Greenfield land is required, the locating of this amount of land in the southwest quadrant is not possible, since the amount of Greenfield land potentially available in the southwest quadrant beyond the current settlement area boundary is about 17 hectares. As a result, there is a need to expand into the northeast quadrant under any scenario to accommodate the amount of land required. The options also identified alternative locations for a new 4.0 hectare community park and 2.0 hectare site fora new elementary school to be developed on full municipal services. At the present time, the elementary school serving the area is located in a rural area to the south on private services. In order to advance the principles of developing complete communities, the establishment of an elementary school within the community was considered to be a priority throughout the planning process. In addition, siting a community park in Craighurst was also considered to be a priority since there are no large community/area wide parks in Craighurst and area. Lastly, the development of housing for seniors and others that may be retired was also considered to be a priority and on this basis, a 1.0 hectare area of land was also identified in all of the concepts. One constant in all of the concepts was an enlarged central area focused on the County Road 22/County Road 93 intersection in which additional commercial and residential development in a more urban context would be encouraged. All of the above considerations were designed to support the establishment of as `complete' a community as possible in Craighurst. A more detailed review of the environmental features located within the northeast quadrant and the boundaries of the areas considered to be significant were identified by the landowner as the above options were being developed.. These lands included the lands within the Oro Moraine Core/Corridor designation and the Oro Moraine Enhancement Area designation established by OPA 16. The combined area of these environmental areas is about 15 hectares and this land area was subtracted from the amount of Greenfield land required, since environmental areas are not counted according to the Growth Plan in the density calculation. On the basis of this more recent analysis, there are about 30.5 net hectares of Greenfield land in the northeast quadrant of the study area and outside of the settlement area. All of the options were assessed and it was determined that the most appropriate location for expansion is in the northeast quadrant. Lands in the south-west quadrant were not considered to be appropriate for expansion since there would be a need for at least one crossing of a sensitive watercourse, options for additional access to the expansion area from Horseshoe Valley Road (County Road 22) do not exist and because of the proximity of both Highway Township of Oro-Medonte Officio( Plon Amendment No. 27 Prepared by Meridian Planning Consultants 7 February 3, 2009 ~`~, - ~ ~9 400 and a main north-south CP Rail line to the area. Both of these transportation facilities are expected to have negative impacts on development located nearby. On the basis of the above, the 30 hectare expansion is proposed by this Amendment to be located within the northeast quadrant of the settlement area. Lands that are currently within the Oro Moraine Enhancement area designation will be designated Environmental Protection One by this Amendment and will be protected from development, although anorth-south road crossing will be required. This Amendment establishes a maximum number of new dwelling units that can be established within Craighurst. Given that there are 36 net hectares (39 minus 3 hectares for sewage treatment and disposal) of net Greenfield land located within the settlement area boundary, these lands could be the site of potentially 1,152 people and jobs, which would translate into about 450 dwelling units. This means that the maximum number of dwellings that could be located on the expansion lands would be 300. However, the location of a new community park and school site (6.0 hectares in total) within the existing settlement area will have an impact on the potential number of units that can be developed within the settlement area boundary. It is on this basis that a certain amount of flexibility is required in order to ensure that the amount of development anticipated by this Amendment can be accommodated on the lands designated for development by this Amendment. With respect to the community park, elementary school and nursing/retirement facility, this Amendment establishes that the most ideal location for these facilities is in the northeast quadrant of the study area, and as close to the intersection of County Roads 22 and 93 as possible. This Amendment also strongly supports the establishment of a vibrant community core and an extensive system of traits and paths that are integrated within the community's natural heritage system and the Copeland Forest and Ganaraska Trail located to the north-east of the settlement area.

Achieving these objectives wilt assist in creating a landscape in the Craighurst Community that provides an element of continuity between old and new. Incorporating cultural heritage components assists in making the area visually diverse and hence more environmentally distinctive. It also enables greater depth and texture to be incorporated into the new landscape, making it physically more interesting and reflective of the area's past. C18.6.2 Policies C18.6.2.1 Designation of Property The Township may designate a number of built heritage features under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Additionally, The Township shall ensure the retention of any municipally designated features in the process of subdivision plan approval, site plan approval or any other development approvals or agreements negotiated as part of acceptable development of the community. Where identified built heritage features or cultural landscape units cannot be reasonable conserved as part of the development of the Craighurst Community, such features may be recorded or otherwise documented through photography, measured drawings or other means as considered appropriate. Consideration may be given to the relocation, preferably within the study area, of built heritage features if conservation in-situ is not possible. Additionally, in the detailed site planning of the Craighurst Community care shalt be taken to conserve and respect built heritage features and agricultural remnants of the former rural landscape. The Township will work with landowners to achieve the inclusion in future development of such features as: • improved public access to heritage properties; • the inclusion of areas of open space making use of and preserving rural landscape features including barn ruins, foundations, existing treelines, hedges and fence lines; • interpretive devices such as plaques and displays; and, • the use of compatible and appropriate building materials and design in new construction adjacent to heritage property.

THE OFFICIAL PLAN C}F THE T(JWNSHIP (JF 4R0-MEDC?NTE "1198677 Ontario Lirrtited" PART 1 - INTRC}DUCTIt~N 1.1 TITLE This Amendment, when approved by the County of Simcoe, shall be known as Amendment No. 28 to the Official Plan of the Township of Oro-Medonte. 1.2 COMPONENTS This Amendment consists of the text and Schedule A-1 attached hereto. Schedule A-1 attached hereto, provides a map indicating thereon the location of the lands for which a change in the land use designation is being proposed and the specific land use proposed for the site. The text provides far a policy amendment to permit the development of Horseshoe Valley -Law Density Residential uses on the subject lands. The introduction does not constitute part of the actual Amendment, but is included for information purposes. 1.3 BACKGROUND The purpose of this Amendment to the Official Plan of the Township of Oro- Medonte, is to place certain lands in Part of Lot 1, Concessions 4 & 5 and Part of the original road allowance between Concessions 4 & 5 (as closed by by-law 1169) geographic Township of Oro, Township of Oro-Medonte, County of Simcoe, in the Horseshoe Valley -Low Density Residential designation in order to permit low density residential type uses on the lands. 1.4 LOCATION The Lands affected by this amendment are located at the south-west corner of Horseshoe Valley Road and Line 4 North, in the north-east section of the Horseshoe Valley Resort lands. MHBC Planning 7 1198611 Ontario Limited Official Plan Amendment August 2008 1.5 B:~ S 1S OF THE AMENDMENT 1.5.1 A_p~liration An application was made to amend the Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan and Zoning By-law on August 18, 20011 by 1198677 Ontario Limited. The purpose of the application was to provide the policy basis to permit the development of low density residential uses on the site. Various documents were submitted in support of the application including: 1. A Planning Analysis Report, prepared by MHBC Planning, dated August 2008; 2. A Functional Servicing Report and Trade Assessment, prepared by Cole Engineering, dated July 2008; ~. A Hydrogeology and Slope Stability Assessment, prepared by Terraprobe Limited, dated July 2008; 4. A Concept Plan prepared by MHBC Planning dated June 12 2008. 1.5.2 Proposal. The 1198677 Ontario Limited proposal is to permit the eventual development of four {4) single detached residential homes on a portion of the property. The proposal necessitates an amendment to the Township's Official Plan to redesignate the lands from Horseshoe Valley -Medium Density Residential to Horseshoe Valley -Low Density Residential uses. The site hosts two Official Plan designations; Horseshoe galley -Medium Density and Horseshoe t/alley -Resort Facility. The Official Plan Amendment application solely affects the Horseshoe galley -Medium Density portion of the site. The application for an Official Plan Amendment is to permit adown-designation from Horseshoe galley - Medi~cm Density Residential to Horseshoe galley -Low Density Residential. The rationale for this Official Plan down-designation stems from the site topography itself and the difficulty the physical site conditions create for implementation of the current Official Plan designation. The limited plateau area and steep slope conditions provide adverse topographical conditions which provide support for a less intensive residential use on this site than what is currently permitted. The proposed four {4} lots will integrate into the existing built form of this area of Horseshoe Valley Resort as it is primarily single detached homes surrounding the site on three sides. MHBC Planning $ l 198677 Ontario Limited Official Plan Amendment August 2008 1.5.3 Provincial Palicy Statement (PPS} The Provincial Policy Statement seeks to promote economically and environmentally Strang communities with an appropriate mix of residential and emplayrnent opportunities. Accordingly, Settlement Areas, such as the Horseshoe Valley Resort Nade, should be the faces far future growth. The proposed rr:sidentiai development is within an identified Settlement Area and is currently designated far residential development, The dawn-designation from medium density residential to law density residential is proposed because of the challenges of site development based an the site specific topographical conditions. The PPS outlines various criteria far the consideration of new development and these have been reviewed and this proposal has found to be consistent. 1.5.4 County of Simcae PlanningPolicies The site is designated Rural and Agricultural in the County of Simcae Official Plan. An amendment to the County Plan is not required as the County policies indicate that in settlement areas permitted uses include residential lots created by consent. The County does outline various criteria far consideration for new development and these have been taken into consideration in the 1.198677 Ontario Limited Fropasal. 1.5.5 Township of Ora-Medante Planning Policies The site is designated Horseshoe Valley -Medium Density Residential in the Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan. The goals and objectives of the Township's Official Plan indicate they are ranted in the desire to maintain and enhance the high quality of life now enjoyed by the residents by preserving the areas natural heritage features, natural resources, and rural character of the community, The principles of the Official Plan direct new residential uses to settlement areas, as proposed by this application. The application is consistent with this vision in that it seeks to provide residential development in a location which the Township has designated such form of development should occur. The application seeks to provide for a residential built form which is considered more appropriate for the challenging site topography. The reduction in density will reduce the impact to the physical site, will assist in preserving the natural heritage features of the area, and will be consistent with the character of the surrounding community. The proposed Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning would allow far the development of residential uses where the Official Plan has deemed them appropriate. MHBC Planning 9 119867 Ontario Limited Official Plan Amendment August 20(}8 The uses in the surrounding area include low density residential to the south and wc.~t, ~~nd Horseshoe Valley Road (County Road 22) to the north, beyond which are low density single detached residential dwellings. To the East of the subject land is the remainder of the site designated Horseshoe Valley -Resort Facility. Further cast is Line 4 North, beyond which is located the Township's fire station, OPP satellite afficeiT"ownship community room, public park, and surrounding natural forested areas. There are no existing buildings or structures on the property as the site is primarily tree covered with some scrubland vegetation. The Goals and Objectives of the Township's Official Plan were reviewed in the context of development of the site for residential lots and it has been determined that the spirit and intent of these policies shall be adhered to with this development. The intent of the Official Plan is to encourage the development of the lands within the Horseshoe Valley Resort node for a variety of residential, commercial and recreational uses, primarily on full sewer and water services. As previously indicated the subject lands are within the vicinity of low-density residential development on three sides, and civic uses an the fourth side. The land area affected by the Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning is approximately 6.4ha (15.25ac) in size. As previously indicated, the majority of the surrounding land uses are low density residential uses. Permitted uses in the Horseshoe Valley -Low Density Residential designation include single detached dwellings, home occupations, Bed & Breakfast establishments, private recreational uses such as golf courses, and accessory uses. The subject land also requires an amendment to the implementing zoning by-law to permit low density residential dwellings. The subject lands are located such that the proposed use would have little impact on existing and future development, can be serviced with an appropriate water supply and means of sewage disposal, are accessed by a municipal road that can accommodate the increased traffic generated by the proposed low density residential use, and can be designed to blend in with the site topography and neighbouring low density dwellings, to maintain the existing character of the area. The proposed Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning would permit the use of this site for Horseshoe Valley -Law Density Residential and will maintain these principles. MHBC Planning ~(~ 1148677 Ontario Limited Official Plan Amendment August 2008 1.5,6 En~inccrin~ A Functional Servicing Report and Traffic Assessment was prepared by Cole Engineering dated July 20{}8. In summary this report concludes that the site can be provided with municipal water by extending the existing watermain under the road from the fire hall and police station. The watermain can then be extended south clang Line 4 North to be terminated by a hydrant at the most southerly lat. Municipal sewage services are not available however the proposed lot sizes are large enough to accommodate private septic systems without any adverse impacts to the surrounding area. The soils are suitable far the construction and operation of a septic system and thus there are no engineering constraints to such a system. This was confirmed though a hydragealogical analysis. Starmwater management will take place on-site and will consist of side yard swales directed to Line 4 North. The only Stormwater permitted to flow aver the slope is sheet flow runoff as this will reduce the possibility of slope erosion. The Traffic Assessment portion of this report concluded that the proposed driveway locations, as depicted an the Concept Pian, meet minimum stopping sight distance criteria and thus, they are acceptable. The sight lines are not compromised by a crest in the roadway as the grade an Line 4 North is consistent. On the basis of the conclusions drawn from this report the proposal conforms with the policies contained in the Township's Official Plan.
