Proud Heritage, Exciting Future
Background
A group of youth first approached the Township with an interest to explore the possible options of
skateboarding opportunities in late April 2009. From there 2 meetings were conducted with the group, of
approximately 20 youth, to gather information and ascertain what they envisioned for the project. It was
established that a mobile skateboarding facility would be the ideal way to serve multiple communities in an
economical way. Springwater Township has run a similar program for the past 2 years with great success.
The program services several communities in Springwater Township and has a minimum of 200 youth utilize
the facility each summer. The Township of Springwater has agreed to loan us their equipment for a pilot
project, free of charge, to try the system on a trial basis. The goal of the youth would be to purchase
portable equipment for Oro-Medonte.
Analysis
Risk management:
o Programmed and staffed
o Participant safety equipment use would be required lie. helmets)
o Participant waivers would be signed prior to use
o Equipment would be portable and could be set up for a program and then taken down
and stored afterwards. This would also allow the equipment to be transported to
different locations in the community, to benefit as many youth as possible.
Financial:
o Equipment costs: $29,950.00 including trailer and storage system
o Staffing: $2,400.00 throughout the summer months which breaks down as follows:
10hours/week for 12 weeks during the afternoons and weekends from June to August
2009. This amount would also allow for staffing of special events and initiatives
o Expenses could be covered by surplus in registered program revenue.

Agenda Item # 9a) - 5:00 p.m. Logan Laine, re: Possible Skate Park and Skatebo...
Conclusion
The Recreation and Community Services Department seeks to continue working with youth on the initiative.
We would like to put together an "Ad Hoc" committee from 3 communities with higher youth populations:
Hawkestone, Moonstone and Sugarbush and work with them to realize this vision. We are asking Council to
endorse the use of the Springwater equipment as a pilot project. We would also like their support in
allowing the youth to initiate some fundraising opportunities and report back to Council on their progress.

I RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action For Information Only
It is recommended:
1. THAT Report DS 2009-029 be received and adopted;
2. THAT Zoning By-law Amendment Application 2009-ZBA-04 for the Township of
Oro-Medonte, Part 1,2,3,4 and 5 of Plan 51 R-36467 being Part of Lot 15 and
Part of the Original Road allowance between Lots 15 and 16, Concession 1
Township of Oro-Medonte, (Former Township of Oro) on Schedule A12 on the
Zoning By-law 97-95 (as amended) be amended to the Agricultural/Rural (A/RU)
Zone to match the surrounding zones be approved; and
3. That the Clerk bring forward the appropriate By-law for Council's consideration.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this report is to consider proposed Zoning By-law Amendment
application initiated by Township Staff. This application is to rezone Township lands
which have been determined to be surplus and no longer required for road allowance
purposes. The subject lands are part of the original road allowance which do not
currently have a zone category in Zoning By-law 97-95.
A public meeting was held on March 25, 2009 to receive comments from members of
the public and relevant agencies. The application was circulated to internal Township
Departments and outside agencies, no concerns were raised by the internal department
or agencies. Township staff has received written comments from the public and

surrounding residents, who also spoke at the public meeting in opposition to permitting
a residential use on the subject lands.
ANALYSIS:
The subject property is part of an old road allowance north of the existing Ski Trails
Road and abuts the property municipally known as 2204 Ski Trails Road. The subject
land has a frontage of approximately 132.5 metres (434 feet) on Ski Trails Road and lot
area of approximately 0.2 hectares (0.51 acres). The site is currently vacant. As the
lands are currently dedicated as a road allowance, the Township's Zoning By-law does
not currently zone the lands, the Zoning By-law Amendment proposes to zone the
subject lands to the Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) Zone which is consistent with the zone
classification of the surrounding lands.
FINANCIAL:
Not applicable.
POLICIES/LEGISLATION:
Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan:
The subject property is designated "Agricultural" by Schedule "A" of the Official Plan.
Road allowances are not identified on Schedule "A" of the Official Plan as a land use
designation; they assume the abutting land use designation.
The "Agricultural" designation on the lands demonstrates that the lands are considered
prime agricultural lands (they contain Class 1, 2, or 3 soils). The site does not contain
any identified environmental features nor is it in close proximity to any features that
would restrict potential development. It should be noted that portions of the abutting
property are designated "Environmental Protection Two", however it is approximately
183 metres (600 feet) from the subject lands.
Permitted uses on lands designated "Agricultural" are principally agricultural operations.
Single detached dwellings, home occupations, home industries, and other uses are also
permitted in this designation. It is not the intention of Planning staff to permit a
residential use on the property at this time. Staff would support the preservation of
agricultural lands, the preservation of the agricultural character of the Township, and
restrictions on new residential lots in agricultural areas, as outlined in the "Agricultural"
polices of the Plan.
The proposal to rezone the lands to the Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) zone conforms with
the designation of the Official Plan.
Zoning By-law 97-95:
The subject parcel is not currently subject to any zone, as it was part of the Township's
road allowance. This parcel was deemed to be surplus to the Township's needs and as

Agenda Item # 10b) - Report No. DS 2009-029, Andria Leigh, Director of

the property is now separate parcel from the rest of the road allowance, the lands
require a zone be placed on them to ensure the orderly development in the Township.
Planning staff is proposing the Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) Zone be placed on the subject
lands to be consistent with the surrounding properties.
For agricultural uses in the A/RU Zone the minimum lot area is 2.Oha. However, the
subject lands are only 0.2ha in size. Therefore it is recognized that the lot does not meet
the required lot area for any of the permitted uses in the A/RU Zone.
Although the subject lands do not currently meet the minimum lot area of the A/RU
Zone, the zoning is still appropriate at this time as the Township (as the applicant) is
exempt from certain aspects of the Planning Act and may create undersized lots. The
application is therefore deemed to comply with the Zoning By-law.
County Official Plan
Township staff reviewed both the County Official Plan (current and adopted). The
subject lands are not within an identified settlement area in the current County Plan; the
subject lands are designated Greenlands.
The intent and purpose of the Greenlands designation is to preserve and protect
natural features. Section 3.7.13 of the County Plan states that the boundaries of the
Greenlands designation are approximate, local Official Plans may be used to determine
more precise boundaries of Greenlands features and functions. As identified above
there are no natural features on the subject lands on Schedule `A' of the Township's
Official Plan. The Environmental Protection Two lands, which are on the abutting
property are found a significant distance from the subject lands.
The application to rezone the subject lands to A/RU conforms to the County Plan as
there are no environmental features on the property which could be impacted by any
future development on the lands.
Provincial Policy Statement
The intent of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) is to build strong and healthy
communities while at the same time promoting efficient land use and development
patterns. Planning Authorities must consider the PPS whenever they are exercising
their authority.
The PPS promotes and encourages the protection of agricultural areas. The proposed
A/RU Zone is consistent with the Official Plan "Agricultural" designation. The PPS
discourages lot creation in prime agricultural areas, lot creation for residential uses are
not permitted.
The proposed zoning amendment application is considered to be consistent with the
Provincial Policy Statement.

Places to Grow
The application has been reviewed with reference to the Place to Grow policies which
have been in place since 2006. The Township of Oro-Medonte has been identified as a
Rural Area in the Places to Grow legislation. In Section 2.2.9 Rural Areas subsection
(3), states that new multiple lots and units for residential development will be directed to
settlement areas and may be allowed in rural areas in site-specific location with
approved zoning or designation that permits this type of development. Also Section
2.2.2.1(i) of the Growth Plan directs development to settlement areas except where
necessary for the development of rural land uses that cannot be located in settlement
areas, such as agricultural uses.
The proposal to place the A/RU Zone on the subject lands conforms to the Growth Plan
policies as it is intended that the subject lands will be used for agricultural uses.
CONSULTATIONS:
No concerns were given by both internal and external agencies. As discussed above,
the Township has received written comments from the public expressing concerns with
a future residential use on the property. Their concerns are related to sight lines for any
potential driveways, traffic and safety concerns, the use of the property for residential
purposes, preserving the rural nature of the area, and due process.
ATTACHMENTS:
Attachment 1: Location Map
Attachment 2: Zoning By-law
CONCLUSION:
The abutting property owners have submitted an application for a boundary adjustment
wherein they would purchase the subject lands and adjust the boundaries to create a
residential building lot. The residential use of the subject lands is not being considered
at this time, as stated above, the lot does not satisfy the minimum lot area requirement
for either residential or agricultural uses. It is not the intention of Township staff to
permit residential development on the subject lands as a result of the rezoning. A zone
is required to be placed on the lands given the lands are no longer a road allowance
and are not zoned. The boundary adjustment application will be more fully considered
by the Committee of Adjustment in the future.
The Zoning Amendment application proposes to place the Agricultural/Rural (A/RU)
Zone on a parcel of land which has been deemed surplus land and is no longer
necessary for road allowance purposes and therefore it is not presently zoned. A zone
must be placed on the subject lands. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment
conforms to both the Township's and County's Official Plans. The proposal is consistent
with the PPS and conforms to the Growth Plan. The lands are recommended to be
zoned Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) without provisions related to exceptions to the minimum
lot area and lot frontage requirements.

I RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action X For Information Only ❑
It is recommended:
1. THAT Report DS 2009-031 be received and adopted; and
2. THAT Zoning By-law Amendment for Anthony Keene, West Part of Lot 24,
Concession 8, (Former Township of Oro) Township of Oro-Medonte, on Schedule
A4 on the Zoning By-law 97-95 (as amended) from Residential One Zone to
Residential One Hold (R1*H) Zone be approved.
3. That the Clerk bring forward the appropriate By-law for Council's consideration.
The applicant appeared before the Committee of Adjustment on February 21, 2008, and the
application was deferred by the Committee in order to attain comments from the Lake Simcoe
Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA). The application was considered by the Committee at
the June 27, 2008 meeting, where it was granted provisional approval by the Committee. The
applicant then proceeded to fulfill the conditions that the Committee approved. The applicant
determined that the request by the LSRCA for a Site Plan agreement to be entered into by the
applicant, which would include the preparation of an Environmental Impact Study (EIS), could
not be completed within the year as prescribed by the Committee. On April 16, 2009, the
Committee removed the condition that the applicant enter into a Site Plan agreement and
replace it with that the applicant apply and obtain a Holding provision on the property. The
applicant has since been in contact with the LSRCA and is in the process of preparing a
submission of the EIS. The LSRCA has indicated that they have no objection to the proposed
application.
The purpose of this report is to consider placing a Holding (H) zoning provision on the property
as part of the condition of approval for Consent Application 2008-B-03(Revised). The Holding
provision was requested by the applicant in order to fulfill a condition of approval for Consent
Application 2008-B-05(Revised), which was granted by the Committee of Adjustment on April
16, 2009. At the Committee of Adjustment meeting, there were no comments received from

members of the public. The application has been circulated to internal Township Departments
and no concerns were raised. The applicant has submitted in writing that he gives the Township
permission to place a Holding provision on his property.
I ANALYSIS:
As part of the Committee's provisional approval, the applicant must apply for and obtain a
Holding provision on the subject lands. The LSRCA indicated that due to the applicant changing
the shape of the proposed lot and EIS is not required for the creation of the lot but that it is
required at the Site Plan stage. Due to the applicant being unsure of when construction would
take place, the applicant was granted a revision to the decision that allowed for a Hold to be
placed on the property which would make it subject to Site Plan Control at the time of building. It
is appropriate to place a Holding provision on the property, to satisfy the Committee's condition,
and to place the property under site plan control, which will be lifted once development is
completed.
I FINANCIAL: I
Not applicable.
POLICIES/LEGISLATION:
Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan:
The subject property is designated "Rural Settlement Area" by the Official Plan. Permitted uses
within the "Rural Settlement Area" designation include single detached dwellings, accessory
structures to residential uses, and home-based businesses.
Zoning By-law 97-95:
The subject property is currently zoned Residential One (R1) Zone in the Township's Zoning By-
law. The minimum frontage for a lot in the A/RU Zone is 30 metres; the subject lands will have
a lot frontage of approximately 55 metres of frontage, with a lot area of 0.3 hecters. The
required lot area for a residential use in the R1 Zone is 0.2 hectares.
As a result of comments received from LSRCA, it is appropriate that a Holding provision be
placed on the property which will require a Site Plan Agreement, depicting building and septic
envelopes, and vegetation areas to be protected. The requirement of a Site Plan will be utilized
to reduce the potential impact of the residential use on the natural heritage features. The
proposed lot would comply with the minimum lot frontage and lot area requirements of the
Residential One (R1) Zone.
CONSULTATIONS:
No concerns were given by internal departments in relation to the proposed boundary
adjustment. Comments received from the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority stated
that they had no objections to the consent application but requested that Site Plan Control be

placed on the property. LSRCA staff has commented that due to the land having a steep slope
of 3:1 or 30% a geotechnical report should be prepared to ensure that any development will not
have any negative impact on the stability of the slope. Staff agrees, with LSRCA, in that a
detailed site plan is requested which shows the location of the proposed development footprint,
access routes and any accessory building, should be prepared before the removal of the
holding provision.

I RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action For Information Only
It is recommended:
1. THAT Report No. DS 2009-032 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the Township of Oro-Medonte enters into a Site Plan Agreement with Donald Salmon
and Barbara Davidson to permit the addition onto an existing dwelling at 51 Goss Road.
3. THAT the Clerk prepares a By-law for Council's consideration to enter into a Site Plan
Agreement with Donald Salmon and Barbara Davidson.
4. THAT the Clerk prepare a By-law for Council's consideration to remove the Holding
Symbol from lands described as 51 Goss Road, Part of Lot 3, Concession 1, South Orillia
as in R01280651; TAN 801280651; Oro-Medonte Being all of PIN 58531-0361 (LT).
5. AND THAT the owner be notified of Council's decision.
I BACKGROUND:
The owner is proposing to construct a 55 square metre (60 square feet) addition onto an
existing dwelling. The applicants are also proposing to demolish 65.0 square metre (699 square
feet) attached enclosed porch at the rear of the existing dwelling. The property is zoned
Residential Limited Service *Hold (RLS*H) Zone. As Goss Road is a private road, the owner
must enter into a Site Plan Agreement prior to the issuance of a building permit.
I ANALYSIS:
The subject lands are zoned Residential Limited Service (Hold) (RLS (H)) Zone. The Hold
applies to certain lands within the municipality that fronts onto a private road which is not
constructed to full municipal standards. Section 2.5.1 of Zoning By-law 97-95 provides that "no
person shall use the land to which the letter (H) applies for any use other than the use which
existed on the date this By-law was passed until the (H) is removed in accordance with the

policies of the Official Plan and Planning Act, as amended." Permitted uses in the RLS Zone
include single detached dwellings, accessory buildings, and boathouses. As such, the
applicant's proposal to construct an addition onto an existing dwelling would constitute a
permitted use once the Hold (H) provision is removed from the property. The proposed addition
would comply with all other setbacks as required by Zoninq By-law 97-95 as amended.

MEMORANDUM

Proud Heritage, Exciting Future
From: Andria Leigh, Director of Development R.M. File
Services
Date: May 27, 2009 Roll
Subject: OPA No. 27 (Craighurst Secondary Plan)
Further to discussions with Council at their Committee of the Whole meeting on Wednesday May 20, 2009 four
additional revisions are being recommended to the Craighurst Secondary Plan prior to its adoption by Council
this evening as follows:
1. PART 1 - INTRODUCTION (Section 4.3 The Community Design Process, page 8)
Third paragraph that begins with "This Amendment establishes a maximum number of dwelling units that can
be established within Craighurst..." this section continues on to identify the settlement boundary and the
expansion lands; however should the amendment be adopted, the Official Plan map schedule and policies will
only identify settlement boundaries and not expansion lands and therefore reference to the expansion lands is
required to be deleted to ensure ease of interpretation in the future.
It is recommended that this paragraph be replaced with the following:
"This Amendment establishes the maximum number of new dwelling units that can be established
within Craighurst at 700. The previous settlement area boundary contained approximately 39 hectares
of undeveloped land which includes 6.0 hectares for sewage treatment and disposal if all of the land
was required for infrastructure, and it was estimated that approximately 412 dwelling could be
accommodated in the former area. This Secondary Plan determines that a total of approximately 69
hectares of undeveloped land is to be included in the settlement area boundary in order to properly
accommodate the growth anticipated In this community, in order to achieve a total of 700 new dwelling
units across all of the undeveloped land in Craighurst. This 69 hectares of undeveloped land in total is
intended to accommodate 700 new dwelling units, a potential school site, parks, infrastructure and
associated 'Core Area' and 'Community Use Area' uses, a certain amount of flexibility is required to
accommodate the amount of development anticipated by this Amendment on the lands designated for
development by this Amendment."
2. PART III - THE SECONDARY PLAN (Section C18.2.3.1 Strategic Objectives, clause c), page 2)
Currently this clause c) states "Ensure that appropriate phasing strategies are in place to support the equitable
distribution of new development throughout the Settlement Area".
The intent of this policy was to address overall density and structure and not the timing of development. Intent
was that full allocation would not be achieved on any specific property but would be divided throughout the
community based on assessment of all criteria.
Page 39 of 295
Agenda Item # 10e) - Andria Leigh, Director of Development Services, memorandum
c...
It is recommended that this paragraph be replaced with the following:
"(c ) Ensure that appropriate phasing strategies are in place to support the appropriate distribution
and density of new development to achieve the overall development pattern and density target for the
settlement area as a whole, while recognizing that variations to densities on individual sites may be
appropriate in consideration of other benefits achieved as a result of such adjustments, which benefits
might for example include; improved community services, community or educational facilities and
infrastructure."
3. PART III - THE SECONDARY PLAN (Section C18.4.1.3 Housing Mix, Density and Number of New
Dwellings Permitted, clause d), page 6)
This clause currently states: "(d) New housing in the community shall be equitably distributed across all of the
lands that are designated for development to ensure that balanced growth across the whole of the community
occurs. Notwithstanding this policy, it is recognized that certain areas closer to the centre of the community
may be more suitable for higher density uses. "
Similar to 2 above, the wording suggests that development should occur across all of the lands at the same
time. The clause was intended to address the overall development pattern and density, and the entire
community should be considered when each development phase is proposed so that in the end, whenever the
final parcel is developed, the overall targets are achieved.
It is recommended that this paragraph be replaced with the following:
"d) New development in the community shall be assessed in the context of the overall structure and
density targets for all of the lands that are designated for development in the entire community, as well
as in the context of the specific community benefits advanced by the new development, including but
not limited to, items such as, infrastructure, community services, community facilities and educational
facilities, to ensure that the primary goals for the whole community are being addressed.
Notwithstanding this policy, it is recognized that certain areas closer to the centre of the community
may be more suitable for higher density uses."
4. PART III - THE SECONDARY PLAN (Section C18.4.4.1 Environmental Protection One Policies, clause
b), page 14)
This clause currently states: "b) The boundaries of the Environmental Protection One designation can be
modified based on the submission of more detailed studies on the limits of sensitive natural heritage features.
However it is the intent of this Plan that notwithstanding this policy, no development shall generally be located
within 30 metres of the top of bank of any watercourse"
It is recognized that this policy contains a setback based on current environmental policy of the Township;
however the policy should be amended to provide the opportunity for further refinement of this setback based
on more accurate environmental review completed through the Environmental Impact Study required in clause
(a) of this same section.
It is therefore recommended that this paragraph be replaced with the following:
"b) The boundaries of the Environmental Protection One designation can be modified based
on the submission of more detailed studies on the limits of sensitive natural heritage
features. No development shall generally be located within 30 metres of the top of
bank of any watercourse unless the Environmental Impact Study required in
clause a) has demonstrated that the proposed limit of development adjacent to
any watercourse and/or top of bank is appropriate."

RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action X For information Onlyn
It is recommended:
1. THAT Report DS 2009-027 be received and adopted;
2. THAT Zoning By-law Amendment Application 2009-ZBA-02 for Hillway
Equipment Ltd., Part of Lots 8 & 9, Concession 12, Part of Lot 9, Concession 13,
Township of Oro-Medonte, (former Township of Oro) on Schedule A13 of Zoning
By-law 97-95 (as amended) is hereby further amended by deleting the required
setbacks to pit excavation for the Mineral Aggregate Resource One Exception
163 (MAR1 *163) Zone to permit adjacent to woodlot in Part of Lots 8 and 9,
Concession 12 and Part of Lot 9, Concession 13 a minimum of 15 metres, 20
metres and 35 metres in locations as identified on Schedule `2' attached hereto.
Further, the placement of berms or the storage of topsoil shall not be permitted in
the above noted setbacks to pit excavation adjacent to woodlots.
3. That the Clerk bring forward the appropriate By-law for Council's consideration
The purpose of this report is to consider a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment
application 2009-ZBA-02 submitted by Skelton Brumwell & Associates Inc. on behalf of
Hillway Equipment Limited. Zoning Amendment Application 2009-ZBA-02 is requesting
that the setback to the pit excavation be amended from the minimum 50 metres to the
requested 15, 20 and 35 metres setback at various locations abutting existing woodlots
on the east and west sides of the pit (as shown on attached Schedule 2). A 20 metre
setback is requested at the northeast corner of the pit in Part of Lot 9, Concession 13

(Area A), and also a 20 metre setback is requested along the westerly property
boundary of the pit in Part of Lot 8, Concession 12 (Area C). Along the westerly
boundary of the pit located in Part of Lot 9, Concession 12 (Area B), the requested
setback is 15 metres. A 35 metre setback has been proposed in an area located in Part
of Lot 8, Concession 12 adjacent to where six immature butternut trees have been
located in Area C. The required setback abutting all non-woodlands areas in the
licensed aggregate pit is 15 metres except where the property abuts Line 12; the
required setback is 30 metres.
A public meeting was held on March 30, 2009 to receive comments from members of
the public and relevant agencies. The application was circulated to internal Township
Departments and outside agencies.
ANALYSIS:
The subject property is located on the east and west side of Line 12 located in Part of
Lot 8 and 9 of Concession 12 and Part of Lot 9, Concession 13, in the Township of Oro-
Medonte. The licensed mineral aggregate pit surrounds two properties used for
residential purposes located on the west side of Line 12. The licensed mineral
aggregate pit consists of approximately 110.6 ha of land. The aggregate licence issued
to Hillway Equipment Limited is for an annual extraction of a maximum of 650,000 tones
and does not change as result of the requested reduced setbacks to the limits of
excavation.
The total licenced area of the aggregate pit was 110.6 ha which represent the area right
to the property lines. The original area to be extracted was 97.93 ha. The area of the
reduced required setbacks will represent an additional area of 6.1 ha which could be
extracted. This will result in a total area to be extracted to be 104.03 ha. The total
annual amount of extraction will not increase (650,000 tonnes), however, the total area
for extraction will increase (6.1 ha) thus giving more area and flexibility of choice in
where to extract. The applicant's consultant has indicated there is no impact on traffic
generation from the pit since annual extraction will not change.

Not applicable.
POLICIES/LEGISLATION:
Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan:
The subject property is designated "Mineral Aggregate Resource - Licenced Area" on
Schedule "A" of the Official Plan. The Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan identifies
one environmental feature on lands adjacent to the pit lands. These lands are
designated "Oro Moraine Core/Corridor Area" as identified on Schedule "A" of the
Official Plan. Schedule "B"-"Natural Features" has identified the same area as a

Provincially Significant ANSI (EP1). The Rugby West ANSI feature is located to the
west of the pit in Lot 8 and 9, Concession 12.
The applicant has submitted an ecological investigations report with the application to
amend the Zoning By-law. These studies were submitted to address the requirements
of the Official Plan. The studies were reviewed by the Ministry of Natural Resources
(the commenting agency) and found to be acceptable and met their requirements.
Zoning By-law 97-95:
The subject lands are presently zoned Mineral Aggregate Resource One Exception 163
(MAR1 *163) Zone. Exception 163 provides the following:
a) setback to pit excavation, adjacent to existing woodlots in the west half of
Lots 8 and 9, concession 12 and in the west Lots 8 and 9, concession 13,
shall be a minimum of 50 metres,
b) No washing of aggregate on site is permitted,
c) No extraction below 1.5 metres above the water table is permitted.
(Please note there is a mistake contained in the text of exception 163 regarding the property description.
In the rest of the text of the original By-law 2005-098, the property description was described correctly.)
Zoning Amendment Application 2009-ZBA-02 is requesting that the setback to the pit
excavation be amended from the minimum 50 metres to the requested 15, 20 and 35
metres setback at various locations abutting existing woodlots on the east and west
sides of the pit (as shown on attached Zoning By-law schedule). A 20 metre setback is
requested at the northeast corner of the pit in Part of Lot 9, Concession 13 (Area A),
and also a 20 metre setback is requested along the westerly property boundary of the
pit in Part of Lot 8, Concession 12 (Area C). Along the westerly boundary of the pit
located in Part of Lot 9, Concession 12 (Area B), the requested setback is 15 metres. A
35 metre setback has been proposed in an area located in Part of Lot 8, Concession 12
adjacent to where six immature butternut trees have been located in Area C. The
Ministry of Natural Resources has requested a minimum 25 metre radius protective
buffer from the stem of the butternut must be maintained. The applicant is exceeding
that buffer with the above noted 35 metre setback in the area adjacent to the butternut.
It is noted that the MAR1 Zone in Zoning By-law 97-95 requires that no part of a pit
shall be located closer than 30 metres from a street or a Residential Zone or 15 metre
from any interior side or rear lot line that not serve as a Residential Zone boundary. No
setback from the interior side or rear lot line that serves as a boundary between two or
more lots that are in the MAR1 Zone. Therefore, the proposed 15 metre and 20 metre
setbacks would meet and exceed the normal By-law setback requirements for a pit.
County Official Plan
Township staff reviewed both the County Official Plan currently in effect as well as the
Plan adopted by County Council in November 2008 but not yet in full force and effect.
Section 4.4.1 of the new County Official Plan includes policies that mineral aggregate
operations shall be located according to the following criteria:
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES May 25, 2009
Report No. DS2009-027 Page 3 of 12

Agenda Item # 12b) - Planning Advisory Committee minutes, meeting held on May 25,...
- Shall not be permitted on adjacent lands to the natural heritage features and
areas identified above unless the ecological function of the adjacent lands
has been evaluated and it has been demonstrated that there will be no
negative impacts on the natural features or on their ecological functions.
The applicant has submitted an ecological investigations study to address this policy.
The Ministry of Natural Resources memo of March 26, 2009 confirms satisfaction of this
policy and states the following: "this Ministry is satisfied that the amendments to the
setbacks will not result in any negative impacts to the features and functions of the
Rugby West provincially significant Life Science ANSI and to the butternut, an
endangered species."
Provincial Policy Statement
The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) states in Section 2.5.1: "Mineral aggregate
resources shall be protected for long-term use." Section 2.5.2.1 states: "As much of the
mineral aggregate resources as is realistically possible shall be made available as close
to markets as possible." Section 2.5.2.2 states that "Extraction shall be undertaken in a
manner which minimizes social and environmental impacts." Section 2.5.2.3 states:
"The conservation of mineral aggregate resources should be promoted by making
provision for the recovery of these resources, wherever feasible."
The PPS contains policies to protect the mineral aggregate resource for long-term use.
The operation of an aggregate pit is a permitted use by the Township's Official Plan and
Zoning By-law. This zoning amendment application is to consider a proposed reduction
in setbacks to limit of extraction not the issue of use. With the submission of the
environmental studies and the accepting and approval from the Ministry of Natural
Resources, this proposed zoning amendment application is considered to be consistent
with the Provincial Policy Statement.
Places to Grow
Under the Chapter 4, "Protecting What is Valuable", the Places to Grow - Growth Plan
contains policies related to mineral aggregate resources. Section 4.2.3 states the
following:
Through sub-area assessment, the Ministers of Public Infrastructure
Renewal and Natural Resources will work with municipalities, producers of
mineral aggregate resources, and other stakeholders to identify significant
mineral aggregate resources for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH), and
to develop a long-term strategy for ensuring the wise use, conservation,
availability and management of mineral aggregate resources in the GGH, as
well as identifying opportunities for resource recovery and for co-ordinated
approaches to rehabilitation where feasible."
The Growth Plan does not have policies directly related to site specific setbacks for the
operation of an aggregate pit, however, does recommend a long-term strategy for
ensuring the wise use, conservation, availability and management of mineral aggregate
resources.

Ecoloaical Investigations
The applicant has submitted an Ecological Investigations report which has evaluated
the proposed new setbacks to the areas of excavation adjacent to wood lot/wood land on
the boundaries of the licenced aggregate pit. The ecological investigations and
evaluation of the health and effect of the reduced setback on the adjacent woodland
features were conducted by Mr. Peter Gill, Landscape Consultant and Registered
Professional Forester with additional ecological consideration conducted by David
Hawke. The intent and scope of the investigation was reviewed by staff of the Ministry
of Natural Resources in September and November of 2008 before they were submitted
to the Township in support of Zoning Amendment Application 2009-ZBA-02. The
investigation reviewed ecological features and their functions of the adjacent woodlands
and the Rugby West ANSI and conducted an evaluation and analysis of the potential
impacts of the proposed setback reduction of the extraction upon these features and
their functions. The Rugby West ANSI is located approximately 100 and 150 metres to
the west of the westerly boundary of the pit in Lots 8 and 9, Concession 12.
The consultants concluded that the existing open field buffers could be reduced to the
proposed setbacks of this application without adversely affecting the health and quality
of the adjoining woodlands.
Ministry of Natural Resources
The submitted Ecological Investigations study was circulated to the Ministry of Natural
Resources for comment. On March 26, 2009, Planning Staff received the following
comments from the MNR:
"This Ministry provided comments on a proposed aggregates site plan
amendment at the above-noted location on December 5, 2008, a copy of
which is included in the zoning application package. According to the
zoning application, a reduction in setbacks is requested at three locations
within the existing aggregate licence area:
Lot 9, Concession 13 - reduction in setback from 50m to 20m
Lot 9, Concession 12 - reduction in setback from 50m to 15m
Lot 8, Concession 12 - reduction in setback from 50m to 20m
We have no objections to the first 2 reductions as listed above. The third
setback should include an additional 15m setback as shown on the
Reduced Setbacks plan attached to the application to ensure adequate
protection of butternut on site.
Based on the evidence submitted by the applicant in support of the
setback revisions and provided a 25m buffer is maintained around the
butternut on site, this Ministry is satisfied that the amendments to the
setbacks will not result in any negative impacts to the features and
functions of the Rugby West provincially significant Life Science ANSI and
to the butternut, an endangered species."

No concerns were given by both internal departments. The Ministry of Natural
Resources has provided comment as detailed above. There were verbal and written
comments received from surrounding neighboring residents at the public meeting on
March 30, 2009.
Comments received from the public at the March 30, 2009 Public meeting were mainly
of concern about the proposal to expression of non-support and one comment of no
objection. Some residents would not endorse any changes to the pit that will potentially
put the use of any conservation lands at risk. Some residents expressed concerns and
not supporting the proposed 15m setback abutting the west property line in Part Lot 9,
Concession 12. Other concerns expressed were related to the possibility that berms
and top soil can be stored in the area of the proposed setbacks. Other topics of
concern were related to erosion and the stability of abutting owner's property with the
reduced setbacks, damage to tree roots and decrease in property values

Zoning Amendment Application 2009-ZBA-02 proposes to reduce the required 50 metre
setback to pit excavation adjacent to existing woodlots located in Part of Lots 8 and 9,
Concession 12 and Part of Lot 9, Concession 13. A 20 metre setback is requested at
the northeast corner of the pit in Part of Lot 9, Concession 13 (Area A), and also a 20
metre setback is requested along the westerly property boundary of the pit in Part of Lot
8, Concession 12 (Area C). Also along the westerly boundary of the pit located in Part
of Lot 9, Concession 12 (Area B), the requested setback is 15 metres. A 35 metre
setback has been proposed in an area located in Part of Lot 8, Concession 12 adjacent
to where six immature butternut trees have been located in Area C. Please refer to
attached site plan for setback locations.
The Ministry of Natural Resources is satisfied that the amendments to the setbacks will
not result in any negative impacts to the features and functions of the Rugby West

Planning staff support the proposed reduction of the setbacks to the pit excavation
adjacent to the woodlots. Staff also recommends that no berming be permitted within
the proposed reduced setback. This would address comments received during the
Public Meeting of March 30, 2009.

3. THAT the Clerk bring forward the appropriate By-law for Council's consideration.
I BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this report is to consider the proposed amendment to the Township's
Zoning By-law regarding the above noted property, and make recommendations to
Planning Advisory Committee as to the disposition of the matter. The lands affected are
located north of Highway 11 on the east side of Line 12 North being Part of the West
Half of Lot 19, Concession 13 and municipally known as 77 Line 12 North as noted in
Attachment #1 of this report.
A public meeting was held on April 27, 2009 to receive comments from members of the
public and relevant agencies. The application was circulated to internal Township
Departments and outside agencies, and comments were received from the Township

Transportation and Environmental Services and the Ministry of Transportation. The
Transportation and Environmental Services department comments identify the
requirement for a permit to be obtained for the proposed driveway widening (Area B
identified in Attachment #2) which can be addressed through the Site Plan process.
The Ministry of Transportation comments indicate the requirement for all features
relevant to the site (fire route, parking, loading areas, storage, buildings) to be located
beyond the Ministry's 14.0 setback - all development identified on the site plan is further
than the 14.0 setback; and also the requirement for both a sign and building and land
use permit -the applicant will be required to obtain both in order for the site plan to be
considered by Council. No additional public comments were received at the meeting
or subsequently in writing. As a home industry, the property will be subject to Site Plan
Control in order to ensure that signage, outdoor storage, parking, etc. are addressed
and can be enforced.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant proposes to operate a home industry on the subject lands which is
located on the east side of Line 12 North immediately north of Highway 11. The
property has 173 metres of frontage on Line 12 North with a depth of 45 metres and a
lot area of 0.79 hectares.
The proposed home industry will conduct the repair, maintenance, and sale of
agricultural, small industrial, and recreational equipment. The applicant has been
conducting a smaller scale more informal version of this business primarily related to
agricultural equipment for a number of years; but has indicated that they wish to expand
the business to include the additional types of equipment. The site plan identifies a
potential coverall structure for additional storage, a sign, and also a new gravel lot for
the storage of equipment associated with the home industry all of which would be over
60 metres from the Highway 11 corridor. As noted above, permits for the site from the
MTO will be required as part of the Site Plan process.
The Zoning By-law Amendment Application proposes to amend the zoning of the
subject parcel from Rural Residential Two (RUR2) Zone to an Agricultural/Rural
Exception Holding (A/RU*l88(H)) Zone to permit the home industry. The lands will be
subject to a holding provision which is not intended to be removed until the approval
and execution of a Site Plan Agreement.

Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan:
The subject lands are designated "Agricultural" by the Township of Oro-Medonte Official
Plan. The Agricultural designation permits "Home Industries" subject to Section C1.3.3
of the Official Plan.
C1.3.3 Home Industries
Home industries are small-scale industrial uses that are accessory to agricultural
operations or single detached dwellings on large rural lots. These uses should not
detract from the primary use of the property for agricultural or residential purposes.
Home industries may include welding, carpentry, or machine shops, or agriculturally
related uses that involve the processing of regionally produced agricultural crops or
other products. The accessory retail sales of products produced in the home industry is
also permitted. The repair, storage, or sale of motor vehicles is not considered to be a
home industry.
Home industries may be permitted, subject to re-zoning, provided Council is satisfied
that:
a) The building housing the home industry is located within the existing farm-
building cluster, if located on a farm property; This is not applicable.
b) The home industry has a floor area that is consistent with the scale of uses on
the property; The existing barn structure contains a floor area of approximately
1120 square feet. The future coverall would propose an additional 1500 square
foot (maximum) on the property.
c) The home industry and any activity area associated with the home industry is
setback from all lot lines by at least 30 metres; The new building associated with
the home industry are proposed to be a minimum of 12 metres from all property
lines which will be enforced through the site plan and building permit approvals.
d) The noise, dust, odour that could potentially emanate from the use will not have
an adverse impact on adjacent properties, The storage is intended to be located
within the existing and proposed buildings and the outdoor storage area, no
manufacturing is proposed on site and therefore noise, dust and odour issues are
not anticipated.
e) The type and level of traffic generated by the use is compatible with the character
of the area and the function of adjacent roads; The additional traffic anticipated to
the site would be the delivery and pick up of equipment and would be consistent
with current traffic usage on this road. The applicant has indicated in the
application a maximum of five vehicles attending the site per day.
f) The operator of the home industry resides on the property, The applicant who is
the operator of the home industry also resides in the existing dwelling.
g) All machinery and equipment, with the exception of motor vehicles, required for
the home industry is located within enclosed buildings, Through the site plan

Agenda Item # 12b) - Planning Advisory Committee minutes, meeting held on May 25,...
approval process storage of machinery and equipment within enclosed buildings
or compounds will be controlled.
h) Any open storage associated with the home industry is screened from view and
located within a fenced compound; A fenced compound for equipment and
material storage has been identified and appropriate screening will be confirmed
through the site plan control process.
f) The home industry has a limited number of employees, The applicant has
advised that the number of employees required for this business is currently two
and could include limited additional student help.
j) Any retail component of the home industry is clearly accessory to the home
industry and does not detract from the primary use of the property. The retail
component of this business is identified in the site specific zoning and will be
controlled through the site plan agreement.
It is also noted that the Official Plan requires the development of a new home industry to
be subject to Site Plan Control.
Zoning By-law 97-95:
The subject parcel of land is presently zoned Rural Residential Two; the proposed
zoning by-law amendment proposes to amend to a site specific Agricultural/Rural zone
to permit the home industry, recognize the lot area and setbacks identified in this report.
The subject parcel is 0.78 hectares (1.95 acres) in total lot area and will provide a 12
metre minimum setback from all property lines for the home industry.
CONSULTATIONS:
Township departments -Transportation requirement for new driveway permit for
enlarged driveway.
MTO -identify requirement for Building and Land Use Permit and Sign Permit as part of
Site Plan process.

Conservation Authorities (CA's) were not adhering to provincial policy; rather she
acknowledged that the Conservation Authorities have been left to administer
provincial policy and that the Ministry has left CA's out on their own and would like
to work more closely with CA's.

NOTTAWASAGA VALLEY CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
MEETING HIGHLIGHTS
NVCA BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING -No. 05109. May 8, 2009
UPDATE ON ORO-MEDONTE'S LEVY APPEAL
As a result a budget appeal to the Ontario Mining and Lands Commission by the Township of
Oro-Medonte, CAO/Secretary-Treasurer, Wayne Wilson, updated board members on the
meeting held on April 8`h with representatives from the NVCA, Oro-Medonte and the
Commission. At that meeting, a mediation resolution was agreed to wherein the Township of
Oro-Medonte would put a resolution to the NVCA Board of Directors regarding their request to
have their watershed boundaries returned to those prior to 2002 which excluded the Severn
watershed.
As background to such a resolution, NVCA and Oro-Medonte staff have agreed to work together to
prepare a joint report on how the boundaries could be re-drawn and how Generic Regulation
172/06 and other Conservation Authority services would be provided to any land area removed
from NVCA jurisdiction.
To gather input for the joint report, the NVCA is inviting the public to make deputations to the Board
of Directors regarding the proposed reduction in NVCA jurisdiction. Deputations will be heard at the
board meeting on June 12, 2009 at 9 a.m. at the Tiffin Centre for Conservation. Please contact
Laurie Barron, Executive Assistant at 424-1479, ext. 227 or Ibarronanvca.on.ca for more details.
The NVCA is still waiting for direction from the Ministry of Natural Resources regarding the legal
process for addressing the Oro-Medonte request to reduce Conservation Authority area of
jurisdiction.
BOARD MEMBERS GET PREVIEW OF BASS LAKE REPORT CARD, TO BE RELEASED SOON
Manager of Watershed Monitoring, David Featherstone, presented a draft of the Bass Lake Report
Card to the Board. NVCA staff worked in partnership with the Bass Lake Ratepayer's Association
and the Township of Oro-Medonte to monitor the health of the lake and its sub-watershed. NVCA
staff completed a shoreline survey, dissolved oxygen profiling, tributary temperature logging,
tributary benthic sampling and a loon habitat assessment. Highlights include:
a grade of B for forest cover
a grade of A for tributary water quality
- a grade of C for lake water quality
- a grade of A for wetland cover
The report card will be released soon and will include a stewardship plan for best management
practices for residents of the lake and sub-watershed.

1. 160`h Anniversary Service: Geoff gave update on choirs we are attempting to contact to
participate in the date. Nathaniel Dett Chorale-Carol knows someone on the choir. She will get
the contact information to Geoff. Carol suggests that a smaller group from this choir may come,
as the entire choir is large. The Arts & Crafts director in Barrie is an African drummer and it is
suggested we contact him.

Dett choir. We need to contact them ASAP and we need to have the Mayor's signature on the
document. Roy felt that we could contact the features department or just call and explain what
we are doing and they can help to direct us to the appropriate department. Geoff will contact
them. A documentary could be done.
• Margaret suggested using it as a follow-up on the Bloodlines piece. We will need to
contact CBC for copyright of the film so we can show it between choirs?
• If CBC assigns a director that person would help us get the choir.

free. Contact Orillia Today and Barrie Advance to do a story that will encourage participation.
• If unable to get the professional choir the local choirs are a good backup and have done
similar events quite successfully.

to fill in with a mass choir performance at the end.

Invited: Sandy Agnew-Councilor, Samah Othman- Executive Assistant/Corporate
Communications Specialist Township of Oro-Medonte, Roy Menaugh-Music Director of
160`" celebration, Carol Benedetti-Chamber of Commerce
160th Anniversary planning meeting:
• Roy gave report on Dett Choir: the manager wants to be involved but
Collingwood has negotiated that this choir will play for the Festival there and exclude
anyone from 100mile radius of Collingwood which excludes us. Discussed going outside
of the contract dates which would be October 3. Changing would give more time to
organize the event. More ability to involve the larger TV channels. Roy spoke with
Brainard himself and he is very keen on doing this-it coincides with the 66th anniversary
of Nathaniel Dett's death. Collingwood is charging S35 per ticket and we were planning
on $20 per ticket. He also spoke to Tiki Mercury-Smith and she is also willing to attend
and perform.
• Group consensus was that we change the date to get the Dett choir.
• Geoff emailed Dr.Bruce Meyer that the date may change.
• Samah gave report on a grant application that Margaret had been working on and
apparently we do not qualify. Samah is willing to work on assisting in fund raising for
this event.
• May 6 Allan will present an update to Council
Councilor Agnew, Carol, Roy, and Samah left meeting as their portion complete.

I would like to thank you and your colleagues for taking the time to meet with me during the 2009
OGRA/ROMA Conference.
I appreciated hearing your views on maintenance during the shoulder winter season as well as the
Lake Simcoe Regional Airport. As I indicated, the ministry does not provide financial subsidies to
municipalities for winter road maintenance. However, we had the opportunity to participate in the
OGRA led task force to review the current Minimum Maintenance Standards (MMS) for Municipal
Highways regulation. This MMS Review Task Force completed its mandate and the regulation was
revised to ensure that municipalities continue to have recourse and protection from liability under
the original Municipal Act, 2001, regulation.
The Provincial-Municipal Fiscal and Service Delivery Review consensus report, released last fall,
outlines new and better ways to fund and deliver services to the people of Ontario. We are
launching a joint provincial-municipal process to develop options regarding responsibilities for
roads and bridges. I encourage you to raise the shoulder winter maintenance issue with your
colleagues at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario to ensure that it is included in the
discussions.
With respect to the operation of the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport, you may wish to raise any
issues you have with the Airport Management Council of Ontario, as they are members of the
Minister's Air Advisory Panel, which met at the OGRA/ROMA conference. To discuss this further,
please contact Allan Moore, Manager, Passenger and Municipal Policy Office, at (416) 585-7205.
Again, thank you for taking the time to meet with me. I look forward to hearing updates on these
matters. Please accept my best wishes.
Yours sincerely,
Jim Bradley

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`h Line of Oro, North of Old Barrie Road for approx. 500 m.
The road closure would allow for bicycle crossing from Hardwood Ski and Bike trails
onto a Country Forest section for the Summer Epic 8 Hour on July 25, 2009
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. The riders will be purely crossing the road, back and forth at one point, not
travelling along the road at all.
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.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Neighbor,
Hardwood Ski and Bike will be hosting the Summer Epic 8 Hour this
Saturday July 25.
As part of the event riders will be crossing the 6 b line of Oro just north of
Old Barrie Road by Hardwood Hills. It is simply a road crossing, and
riders will not be traveling along the road.
The Township has approved a partial road closure at this point, and the
road will be partially barricaded to allow local traffic. The actual crossing
point will be controlled by race officials, and we will endeavor to
minimize any delay to local traffic.
We appreciate your consideration and support of these healthy and fun
events. Please feel free to contact myself if you have any concerns or
questions.
Thank you,
Glean Meeuwisse

Mr_ Doug Irwin,
Clerk, Oro-Medonte Township,
MAY 2 7 1009
ORO-PAEDONTE
Mayor Harry Hughes, Deputy Mayor Ralph Hough, and Councillors Mel Coutanche,
Dwight Evans, John Crawford, Sandy Agnew, and Terry Allison,
On Mon., May 25`x' I was present at a PAC meeting, of which I am a member.
The agenda of this meeting had been set and made public. Those citizens of Oro-Medonte
who were concerned with the items on the agenda were in attendance. Mr. Glen Stewart
was there with his hired planner to present information to the committee.
As it turned out one of the Pac members contacted the Chair and requested a last minute
change to the agenda, asking for certain items to be deleted.
Personally, I was appalled that the committee would remove an agenda item in this way -
after the concerned parties were already at the meeting. Furthermore, the fact that the
PAC members spent an hour discussing the matter while the Council and the public were
kept waiting showed disrespect not only to you, our elected officials, but also to the
members of the public who were present.
The final vote was taken on a motion to delete the items from the agenda, three for and
two against in a recorded vote. I am pleased to say I voted against the motion. Those
members of the public whose agenda items were deleted then left the meeting.
It is my belief that PAC's display of disrespect shown to the public and to our own
elected officials, is disgusting. Therefore I would suggest to Council that this committee
be disbanded and replaced with people who will show respect for both the public and our
elected officials.
Please inform me as to when this letter will be presented at Council. I would also request
a reply, by letter, letting me know the response of Council to this matter.
Sincerely, ) e#4,3~

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 all 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 lots 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;

• 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 Plan 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 policy
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.

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 are at odds with the directions of
the Provincial Policy Statement; or
c) That there has 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 with 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 38 hectares were developed
and 39 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.

Official Plan Amendment No. 27
Prepared by Meridian Planning Consultants April 17, 2009
Page 149 of 295
Agenda Item # 18k) - Being a By-law to Adopt Amendment No. 27 to the Official Pla...
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.

Official Plan Amendment No. 27
Prepared by Meridian Planning Consultants April 17, 2009
Page 150 of 295
Agenda Item # 18k) - Being a By-law to Adopt Amendment No. 27 to the Official Pla...
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.

Official Plan Amendment No. 27
Prepared by Meridian Planning Consultants
April 17, 2009
Page 151 of 295
Agenda Item # 18k) - Being a By-law to Adopt Amendment No. 27 to the Official Pla...
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. It is recognized that all
or some of this infrastructure could be located within the existing settlement
area boundary.
Given that up to 30 hectares of additional net Greenfield land is required,
(Which includes a 6.0 hectare allowance for servicing) 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 for a 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

Agenda Item # 18k) - Being a By-law to Adopt Amendment No. 27 to the Official Pla...
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
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 a north-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 potentially 33 net
hectares (39 minus 6.0 hectares for sewage treatment and disposal if all of the
land was required for infrastructure) of net Greenfield land located within the
settlement area boundary, these lands could be the site of potentially 1,056
people and jobs, which would translate into about 412 dwelling units. This
means that the maximum number of dwellings that could be located on the
expansion lands would be 288. 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 trails 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.

1.1 The Official Plan is amended by deleting the last paragraph of Section A4.2.4

C18.6 CULTURAL HERITAGE RESOURCES
C18.6.1 Objectives
Ensuring that heritage features inherited from the past are passed on
for enjoyment and care by future generations is a key issue in prudent
heritage conservation planning. On this basis, it is the objective of this
Secondary Plan to:
a) actively encourage the incorporation of farmhouses, residences
and major agricultural built heritage elements such as barns into
the evolving future landscape;
b) protect and maintain character-defining elements, i.e., treelines
and hedgerows and the rolling topography, associated with the
roadscapes in the area where possible; and,
c) protect and maintain as much as possible of the rural landscape
characteristics such as treelines, hedgerows, fencing, etc.,
associated with the agricultural landscape.

Official Plan Amendment No. 27
Prepared by Meridian Planning Consultants April 17, 2009
Page 177 of 295
Agenda Item # 18k) - Being a By-law to Adopt Amendment No. 27 to the Official Pla...
Achieving these objectives will 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 built heritage features under Part IV of the
Ontario Heritage Act. Additionally, and where possible, 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 shall 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.
C18.6.2.2 Public buildings, street and park names
The Township will endeavour to commemorate historical families from
the Craighurst Community in the naming of public buildings, streets,
parks or other public places.

C18.6.2.3 Existing Rural Landscape Character
Important cultural landscape components of the existing rural landscape
will be considered for incorporation into future development by
encouraging the preservation of hedgerows, fence lines, existing tree
stands, tree-lined roads and farm buildings.
C18.6.2.4 Land disturbance
Land disturbance undertaken within the Craighurst Secondary Plan Area,
including public works such as: berm construction and slope or bank
stabilization; shall be kept to a minimum and it shall only be
undertaken in a manner that does not destroy or adversely affect
cultural heritage resources, i.e., built heritage features and cultural
heritage landscapes
C18.7 TRANSPORTATION
C18.7.1 Objectives
It is the objective of this Plan to:
a) facilitate the movement of people and goods within and to the
Secondary Plan area;
b) establish an integrated transportation system that safely and
efficiently accommodates various modes of transportation
including trains, automobiles, trucks, buses, cycling and walking;
C) promote cycling and walking as energy efficient, affordable and
accessible forms of travel;
d) ensure that new roads are constructed safely, designed in a grid-
oriented street network to help distribute traffic evenly;
e) ensure that appropriate right-of-way widths for all existing and
proposed roads are provided in accordance with the Planning
Act; and,
f) encourage the use of alternative development standards for
roads, where appropriate.
C18.7.2 Pedestrian And Cycling Routes And Facilities
An interconnected system of cycling and walking routes providing access
to major activity areas shall be established in the Secondary Plan area.
In order to plan for and encourage walking and cycling, the Township
shall:

a) consider the provision of safe and convenient cycling and walking
routes in the review of all development applications;
b) investigate and provide for bicycle lanes wherever possible in
the construction or reconstruction of roads;
C) encourage and support measures which will provide for barrier-
free design of pedestrian facilities;
d) ensure that lands for bicycle/ pedestrian paths are included with
the land requirements for roads;
e) ensure that the rights and privacy of adjacent property owners
are factored into the design process for pedestrian and cycling
routes; and,
f) ensure that all pedestrian and cycling routes are designed to be
safe.
C18.7.3 Road Network
C18.7.3.1 Road Classification System
a) For the purposes of this Plan, all roads in the Craighurst
Community are classified as follows:
• County Road;
• Collector Road; or
• Local Road
b) The exact alignment of future Collector Roads shall be
determined either through municipal studies or during the
consideration of development applications.
C) Right-of-Way Widths
Right-of-way widths for County Roads are 26 metres. The right-
of-way width for Collector Roads is 23 metres and for Local
Roads it is 20 metres. The right-of-way width for any public road
may allow for the placement of travel lanes, turning lanes,
utilities, infrastructure, sidewalks, paths, bicycle lanes,
medians, streetscaping and landscaped boulevards, where
appropriate.

As a condition of a development approval, land for road
widenings shall be conveyed at no expense to the Township or
County, as applicable in accordance with the provisions of the
Planning Act.
d) Traffic Calming
The Township may investigate traffic calming measures to be
implemented in certain locations within the Secondary Plan Area
and/or as a requirement of a development approval to promote
pedestrian safety and mitigate the effects of automobile traffic
within the Township. Traffic calming features may be permitted
subject to an evaluation by the Township of functional,
operational, servicing and financial issues associated with their
use.
e) Public Off-Street Parking
The Township will endeavour to provide off-street parking to
serve the Core Area. In this regard, Council may:
i) operate municipal parking lots on properties the
Township owns, acquires and/or leases, and provide
direction for establishing new lots;
ii) establish areas where payment of cash-in-lieu of required
parking may be accepted. A reserve fund may be
established to be used for the improvement or expansion
of public parking facilities; and,
iii) use, or authorize the use of vacant lands for parking on a
temporary basis, where such parking is needed and
desirable.
f) The Township shall review off-street and on-street parking
regulations to reflect evolving patterns of automobile use at the
time of the preparation of the implementing Zoning By-law.
Reduced parking requirements may be considered where
sufficient public off-street and on-street parking facilities exist.
In addition, parking requirements may be reduced if the uses on
the lot each require parking at different times of the day.
Opportunities for the sharing of parking in mixed-use
development will be considered during the review of a
development application.
C18.8 SERVICING
All new development within the Craighurst Secondary Plan Area shall be
serviced by municipal water and sewer services and stormwater
management facilities. In conjunction with the development phasing

plan required by Section C18.9 of this Plan, a Master Servicing Plan shall
also be prepared to address water supply, sanitary servicing and
stormwater management. Wastewater treatment plants and disposal
areas, water supply infrastructure and stormwater management
infrastructure is permitted in any land use designation except the
Environmental Protection One designation.
It is the intent of the Township to ensure that the stormwater
management system constructed within the Secondary Plan Area:
a) maintains an appropriate water balance;
b) ensures that the appropriate amount of water is returned to the
groundwater system;
C) addresses and maintains water quality;
d) minimizes erosion within the Secondary Plan Area; and,
e) controls the quantity water during storm events.
In order to ensure that the above criteria are met, a number of
stormwater management ponds will be required to support development
within the Craighurst Secondary Plan. The planning for stormwater
management shall be in accordance with the Ministry of Environment
Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual, as amended.
C18.9 DEVELOPMENT PHASING
C11 8.9.1 Objectives
It is the intent of this Plan:
a) to ensure that development occurs in an orderly, well-planned
manner; and
b) to ensure that the provision of community services and facilities
is co-ordinated with the development of new development
areas.
C18.9.2 General Phasing Criteria
Development in the Craighurst Secondary Plan Area shall be phased to
ensure that the development occurs in a logical and cost effective
manner. In this regard, the Township shall be satisfied that any
application for development:

a) contributes to the protection and enhancement of natural
heritage features and ecological functions and provides
opportunities for public ownership of these lands, if such lands
are part of the proposal;
b) involves the logical completion or extension of the existing
urbanized area, roads and other infrastructure to avoid scattered
development patterns;
C) can be adequately and economically serviced by municipal water
and wastewater services and storm drainage facilities;
d) provides the park sites, school sites and portions of a
community-wide trail system that may be required in a timely
manner;
e) provides a mix and range of housing to accommodate the
Township's housing needs; and,
f) can be accommodated within the financial capabilities of the
Township to provide the necessary services without decreasing
the level of service to existing development.
C18.9.3 Staging and Phasing Plan
a) Given the size of the Craighurst Community Secondary Plan area,
there are a number of phasing options and opportunities. In
addition, environmental assessments for various components of
the proposed infrastructure may have an impact on phasing.
b) Prior to the Final Approval of any Plan of Subdivision or the
approval of any other major development in the Secondary Plan
Area, a Development Phasing Plan shall be prepared. The
Development Phasing Plan shall:
i) identify the limits of the first and possible future phases
of development in the entire Secondary Plan Area;
ii) identify the infrastructure improvements required to
service the first and latter phases;
iii) describe how the infrastructure improvements will be
staged in accordance with an Environmental Assessment;
and,
iv) describe how the objectives set out in Section C18.9.2 of
this Plan are met.

Agenda Item # 18k) - Being a By-law to Adopt Amendment No. 27 to the Official Pla...
C) Once the Development Phasing Plan for the Secondary Plan area
has been accepted by Council, area-specific phasing plans for
larger development properties shall be prepared and approved
by Council, prior to Draft Plan Approval. Each individual phasing
plan shall conform to the overall Development Phasing Plan for
the Secondary Plan area and shall satisfy the objectives of the
Township as set out in Section C18.9.2.
d) In order to ensure that development within each development
area subject to an approved area-specific phasing plan occurs in
a logical manner, an appropriate percentage of each phase shalt
be completed prior to the Draft Approval of any Plan of
Subdivision in the following phase. Council may waive this
requirement provided the Township is satisfied that:
there is a demonstrated demand and need for additional
housing units and diversity in the housing market in the
next phase(s) to fulfill market requirements;
ii) required infrastructure improvements, parks and other
public facilities will be provided within an acceptable
time frame; and,
iii) development will progress in a co-ordinated and orderly
fashion to avoid scattered or disjointed development
patterns, with particular regard given to the appropriate
integration of infrastructure, community facilities and
neighbourhoods.
C18.10 DEVELOPER COST SHARE AGREEMENTS - FINANCIAL AGREEMENTS
It is a policy of this Plan that new development shall be responsible for
the cost of any upgrades to existing infrastructure and new
infrastructure that will benefit such new development. The following
policies also apply:
a) Costs of local infrastructure or service improvements within the
Secondary Plan Area, which benefit more than one individual
development, shall be equitably apportioned amongst
landowners within the Secondary Plan area on a net developable
areas basis or benefitting area basis.
b) Such costs may include community use lands and facilities,
schools, parks, trails and community infrastructure facilities or
public works (including oversizing) and including roads, sanitary,
water and storm water facilities, financing and indexing
adjustments, including upgrades to works outside the Secondary
Plan Area necessary to permit development within the Plan area.
For those facilities not of community wide benefit, costs will

only be allocated to those landowners who benefit by the
specified work.
C) Prior to the Final Approval of any plan of subdivision, a Cost
Sharing Agreement will be required to establish, to the
satisfaction of the Township, the means of providing community
facilities and services as well as common amenities (e.g.
collector road, municipal sanitary and water services, parkland,
schools) for the Secondary Plan Area.
d) It is also recognized that the Cost Sharing Agreement wilt
establish rights for adjacent landowners to connect to the
services of the Secondary Plan Area provided such landowners
pay their fair share of the related infrastructure costs and
become parties to the Cost Sharing Agreement.
e) Furthermore, it is recognized that adjacent landowners may seek
to secure easement rights across the properties in the Secondary
Plan Area in order to provide the necessary municipal services to
adjacent lands.
f) The Cost Sharing Agreements may be registered on title for each
participating landowner and the covenants and obligations of the
Cost Share Agreement survive any transfer in ownership of a
relevant parcel of land.
C18.11 TIMING OF DEVELOPMENT
a) No new lots shall be created in the Craighurst Community
Secondary Plan area for any purpose, unless:
i) The Development Phasing Plan for the entire Secondary
Plan area has been approved by the Township; or
ii) an area-specific phasing plan has been prepared for the
lands on which the new lot(s) is proposed; or
iii) the intent of the application is to consolidate parcels of
land for development purposes or to create a new parcel
to facilitate new development.
b) The re-zoning of any land within the Secondary Plan to permit a
new use or an expansion to an existing use is considered to be
premature until the Development Phasing Plan identified in
Section C18.9.3 b) has been approved and the area-specific
phasing plan identified in Section C18.9.3(c) has been approved.

C18.12 RELATIONSHIP WITH OFFICIAL PLAN
The provisions of the Official Plan as amended from time to time,
regarding the implementation of that Plan shall apply in regard to this
Secondary Plan, insofar as they affect the subject area; except in the
event of conflict the provisions of this Secondary Plan shall prevail.
C18.13 MINIMUM DISTANCE SEPARATION
New development on lands subject to this Plan is not required to comply
with the Minimum Distance Separation formula.
C18.14 IMPLEMENTING ZONING BY-LAW
Council shall amend the Township's comprehensive Zoning By-law to
implement the provisions of this Secondary Plan.
The comprehensive Zoning By-law may be more restrictive than this
Secondary Plan, with respect to both permitted uses and density. Since
a range in use and density is permitted within each of the designations,
it is not intended that every area and development proceed to the
maximum use and density permitted by the designation, but rather that
Council shall have regard for the opportunities and constraints affecting
each site, including the relationship with nearby areas of lower density
housing, if any.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Planning Process
1.1.1 General
The Municipal Water and Wastewater Projects which are undertaken in Ontario are
currently subject to the Municipal Engineers Association Class Environmental
Assessment (MEA Class EA) as amended in 2007 process in order to meet the
requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act of 1976.
The flow chart in Appendix A.1 illustrates the process and phases considered essential
for compliance with the requirements of the Act which are summarized below. Appendix
A.2 depicts a Proiect Schedule for the required works for each component of the phased
program.
1.1.2 Schedules A, B, or C
Sewage and Water projects undertaken by Municipalities vary in their environmental
impact depending on the extent and complexity of the required works. The various work
schedules are described as follows:
Schedule A: Projects which are minor in scale and have minimal adverse effects
associated with them. Upon approval, these projects may proceed to implementation
without following the Class EA planning process.
Schedule B: These projects have the potential for some adverse environmental effects
and the proponent must initiate the process of screening the project by undertaking
mandatory contact with various agencies and the directly affected public. If there are no
outstanding concerns, then the project may proceed to implementation. If, however, the
screening process raises a concern which cannot be resolved, then a "Part II Order'
procedure may be invoked; alternatively, the proponent may elect voluntarily to plan the
project as a Schedule "C" undertaking.
Schedule C: These projects have the potential for significant environmental effects and
must proceed in full compliance with the Class EA planning process, and documentation
procedures specified in the Class EA document. Schedule "C" projects require that an
Environmental Study Report (ESR) be prepared and submitted for review by the public.
If a concern is raised which cannot be resolved, the "Part II Order" procedure may be
invoked.
1.1.3 The Class Environment Assessment (EA) Phases
Phase 1: Identify the problem or deficiency in order to establish justification
for the project.
Page 203 of 295
Agenda Item # 18k) - Being a By-law to Adopt Amendment No. 27 to the Official Pla...
Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Phase 2: Identify planning alternative solutions to the problem by taking into
consideration existing environmental constraints, etc. Establish the
preferred solution taking into account public and agency review and input.
At the same time, identify approval requirements (i.e. Ontario Water
Resources Act and the Environmental Protection Act (EPA)). Determine
the appropriate schedule.
Phase 3: Examine and evaluate alternative methods of design concepts of
implementing the preferred solution, based upon the existing
environment, public and government agency input, anticipated
environmental effects and methods of minimizing negative effects and
maximizing positive effects.
Phase 4: Prepare and document in an Environmental Study Report (ESR) a
summary of the rationale, and the planning, design and consultation
process of the project as established through the above Phases and
make such documentation available for review.
Phase 5: Undertake design and complete contract drawings and documents and
proceed to construction and operation etc.
1.1.4 Request for a Part II Order
The Class EA Planning process allows provisions for the public or group to elevate the
status of a project from Class EA process to make it subject to an individual
environmental assessment. Such an action is called "Part II Order". Requests for "Part
II Order" should address the following issues when making an appeal to the Minister of
Environment and Energy (MOEE):
• Environmental impacts of the project and their significance;
• The availability of other alternatives to the project;
• The adequacy of the public consultation program and the adequacy of the planning
process;
• Opportunities for public participation;
• The involvement of the person/party in the planning of the project;
• The nature of the specific concerns which remain unresolved;
• Details of any discussions held between the person/party and the proponent;
• The benefits of requiring the proponent to undertake an Individual Environmental
Assessment;
• Any other important matters considered relevant.
In considering a request for a Part II Order, the Minister shall give consideration to the
following issues:
• Extent and nature of public concern;
• Potential for significant adverse environmental effects;
• Need for broader consideration of alternatives by the proponent;
• Consideration of urgency;
• Frivolous or vexatious nature of the request;

Township of Oro-Medonte 3
Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
• Degree to which public consultation and dispute resolution have taken place
throughout the planning Phases 1 to 4.
Should a concern of a request be resolved by a proponent to the satisfaction of the
requester, it is the responsibility of the requester to withdraw the request. Withdrawals
should be in writing to the Minister with a copy forwarded to the proponent.
For Schedule "B" projects, the person/party should bring the concern to the attention of
the proponent in Phase 2 of the Class EA planning process and must make a written
request to the Minister within the 30 calendar day review period after the Notice of
Completion has been issued.
For Schedule "C" projects the person/party with a concern should bring it to the attention
of the proponent at any point during Phase 2 through Phase 4 of the Class EA planning
process and must make a written request to the Minister of Environment and Energy
within a 30-calendar day review period after the proponent has received public and
agency input after the completion of Phase 2, and filed the ESR in the public record for
public review and has issued the Notice of Completion after completion of Phase 4.

Project Description
2.1
Introduction
The Township of Oro-Medonte has initiated a study, undertaken by Totten Sims Hubicki
Associates, to determine preferred strategies to accommodate future development in
the Community of Craighurst. This study will identify options and solutions for:
• Upgrades to the existing domestic
Water Supply;
• The preferred means of Sewage Treatment and Disposal for new development;
• Storm Water Management for new development;
• Transportation constraints and improvements.

Studies commenced on the Craighurst Secondary Plan Area in 1999. In the spring of
2001 progress on the Secondary Plan was put on hold while land use planning issues
on the Oro Moraine (upon which Craighurst flanks) were addressed. These studies are
relevant with respect to the hydrogeological characterization of the Moraine and the
identification of natural heritage features adjacent to the Secondary Plan Area.
2.2.2 Preferred Growth Option
As a result of screening by the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) and
the County of Simcoe based on the Background Study, the Secondary Plan Study area
was reduced to approximately 160 hectares and covers the geographic area shown on
Figure 2.1.
Existing development in Craighurst consists of approximately 90 single detached
residences and four apartment dwellings. There is one community hall, two churches,
one gas station, two vehicle repair shops, a grocery and Liquor store, two restaurants
and a chocolate factory. The balance of the lands is predominantly vacant with some
lands being used for field crops.
The basis for the development of the Master Servicing Plan is the concept prepared by
Meridian shown on Figure 2.2. This Plan illustrates the major street pattern to support
the land use pattern options for the Secondary Plan area.
The Township Official Plan indicates that the preferred method of servicing in Craighurst
is on the basis of full municipal services. However, it is recognized that all options have
to be considered in this regard, and the preferred design alternatives established.

Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
Previous planning reports prepared by the Township have identified full municipal
services as the most effective method to service the desired intensity of new growth.
Notwithstanding these reports, this report does consider a 'do nothing' approach as well,
with this 'do nothing' approach providing for little or no development as a consequence.
The following is an estimate of future land use based on the municipal servicing option.
Note that an existing industrial area is included in the future employment land use.
For the purposes of this study, development phasing is expected to occur at 75 homes
per year.
Table 2.1 summarizes the development land use under secondary plan.

The developable land available for residential and commercial lots excludes lands
needed for schools, churches, parks, environmental lands, stormwater facilities, etc.
Table 2.2 summarizes the estimated future population for the Secondary Plan Area.
Population is based on 3 persons per unit.

To provide a variety for residential market selection the proposed residential land use
mix is as follows:
30% -18 meter frontage
30% -15 meter frontage
30% -12 meter frontage
10% - multi-residential townhouse/semi-detached
Based on the net developable area available for residential development (76 hectares),
the density of future residential development would be 9.2 units per hectare, if full
municipal services were provided, and if no more than 700 new units were constructed.
This density is significantly less than typical new development in the City of Barrie. It is
recognized that the density of development could be increased and that less land area
would be required as a result. This issue will be explored further in the context of the
land use planning analysis.
An additional commercial allocation of 50,000 square feet (5,000 m2) is also proposed in
the Secondary Plan. An elementary school with a capacity for about 540 students and
one Place of Worship are also proposed. The ability of the Secondary Plan Area to
support new development as set out in Table 2.2 would be significantly affected if the
development did not proceed on the basis of full municipal services.
2.2.3 Opportunities and Constraints to Development
The opportunities and constraints to development with respect to each major servicing
item are discussed below.
2.2.3.1 Water Supply
The existing source of water supply for the Community of Craighurst is the lower sand
aquifer which is regionally extensive and offers a high potential for providing a long term
safe yield and secure water quality. Based on a conservative projection of the capture
l A 1 1

Agenda Item # 18k) - Being a By-law to Adopt Amendment No. 27 to the Official Pla...
pment Plan
zone for the Community of Craighurst, a groundwater source from the lower aquifer
could supply potable water for the projected 900 households.
New wells and storage facilities are required to serve the residential demands of about
800 units and about 31 equivalent units of non-residential development for 9 ha
commercial and about 5 ha of institutional development. The existing water system is
designed for about 166 people or 55 units and 2.1 hectares of commercial development
or about 65 equivalent units. Therefore the future water system needs to service about:
831 total future - 65 existing = 766 equivalent units
The existing system includes three wells with a combined capability of 352 L/min. Four
centrifugal high lift pumps provide system pressure to the distribution system piping. A
112 m3 underground storage reservoir provides sufficient storage to meet maximum day
domestic water with a minimum of fire flow protection.
2.2.3.2 Sewage Treatment and Disposal
At this time there is no communal sanitary sewage treatment as all existing development
is currently serviced with individual septic systems.
The selection of the preferred location of a municipal sewage treatment plant is dictated
by many factors that must be considered including the integration of the design of the
gravity collection piping and the choice or location of the discharge of the final effluent.
Sewage treatment is an integration of the collection of the raw sewage from the
development area, the treatment of the raw sewage to produce a final effluent to a level
established by the Ministry of the Environment and the disposal of the final effluent back
into the natural environment. The final effluent may be either directly or indirectly
discharged to a surface water body or discharged to the native soils with a subsurface
design.
Treatment options capable of meeting the discharge constraints include primary
biological treatment utilizing one of many available and currently accepted technologies
and/or tertiary treatment with filters that then discharge to the final effluent process.
The discharge of the final effluent to a surface water body must consider many factors
such as effluent temperature, the chemical and biochemical characteristics of the final
effluent, the quantity of the water discharged and the ability of the receiving water body
to accept the forgoing parameters.
The down gradient hydraulic boundary, which in this case is the Matheson Creek and its
tributaries, are considered as a coldwater fish habitat. Therefore, any direct surface
water discharge from a sewage treatment facility must cool the effluent and ensure that
the discharge parameters of concern are within acceptable limits.
It is significant to note that surface water discharge must be addressed in the context of
the Assimilative Capacity Studies (ACS), NVCA, 2006, because of potential effects of
elevated nutrient discharges, and the assimilative capacity of the Nottawasaga River

basin and tributaries. An additional localized study (subsequent to the Willow Creek
Watershed Study of 2001) may be required to supplement the ACS for the Willow Creek
subwatershed, as there was insufficient data received by the Willow Creek gauging,
quality and calibration station during the Study period, for the creek to be included in the
detailed analysis. Results and recommendations for the Matheson Creek
subwatershed, which includes the Willow Creek subcatchment, are provided in the ACS.
In summary, the Assimilatimve Capacity Study (2006) indicated that the Matheson
Creek watershed is currently designated as Unimpaired and meets Provincial Water
Quality Objectives (PWQO). Matheson Creek is the only Nottawasaga River
subwatershed that falls into this category. As a result, Target Setting Strategy "A" has
been applied to the watershed, to maintain unimpaired water quality and meet PWQO.
Surface water discharge for treated effluent to the Willow Creek watershed would need
to determine if there is any remaining capacity to accept any discharge from
development. It may be that the level of treatment of communal sewage and the
preferred mode of disposal options will be constrained by the limitations imposed on the
down gradient receiving water bodies, Willow Creek, Matheson Creek and the
Nottawasaga River.
2.2.3.3 Stormwater Management
It has been identified that there are six drainage basins that fall within the Secondary
Plan Study area and four have continuously flowing and/or intermittent watercourses. It
has been mandated that all identified watercourses be protected or buffered from
development with up to a 60 meter wide corridor. It is felt that the buffer is adequate in
terms of flood zone protection for lands lying upstream of the CPR.
Native soils are conducive to the design of storm water management techniques that
utilize infiltration techniques to average stormwater for base flow maintenance and
surface runoff quality control.
Where stormwater design analysis conclude that quantity control facilities are deemed
necessary, the quantity and quality control facility must be situated within the proposed
development, typically at the most downstream location, before discharging into the
receiving watercourse.
2.2.3.3 Transportation
The intersection of County Road 22 (Horseshoe Valley Road) and County Road 93
(Penetanguishene Road) is the hub of the Craighurst Community. Both roads are
considered to be County arterial roads. Horseshoe Valley Road serves as a connecting
link between Highway 11/12 and Highway 26. Penetanguishene Road is a local arterial
road that provides an alternate north/south route to Highway 400.
Since Horseshoe Valley Road provides a higher level of service than Penetanguishene
Road, the amount of entrances to Horseshoe Valley Road should be kept to a minimum.
In addition, other considerations such as, commercial activities, delays at the CPR
crossing and delays at the County Road intersection will require mitigating measures
such as road widening through the Community, and establishing alternate routes to
access Highway 400.

3. DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVES
3.1 Introduction
The procedures to be followed in this Class Environmental Assessment are set out in
the "Municipal Class Environmental Assessment" Document published by the Municipal
Engineers Association, June 2000 as amended in 2007
In accordance with that Document, the proposed undertaking corresponds to Project
Schedule 2 of the Schedule "C" Projects:
As such, the undertaking is considered to constitute a Schedule "C" project and the
activity is subject to the full planning process of the Class EA. The planning process will
therefore follow a phased approach as shown in the flow chart included in the MEA
Class EA Document. (See Appendix "A").
A minimum of three mandatory public contacts are required for Schedule "C projects.
Integral to the planning process is the adoption of alternatives to correct the noted
deficiencies. The alternatives presented in this section are a broad range of potential
solutions to address the problem of upgrading the water supply, sewage disposal,
stormwater management and transportation systems for all lands within the study area.
With the exception of Alternative 1 - Do Nothing, the alternatives will require the
installation of servicing within designated servicing corridors, generally on public lands.
In addition, there is potential for either upgrading the existing facilities or construction of
new ones. Purchase of land for new facilities on a new site may be required.
The following Sections 3.2 and 3.3 take the position that that if development proceeds it
will occur on the basis of full services. Development on full services is the method of
servicing preferred by Provincial policy, followed by individual water and sewage. Partial
services, municipal water with individual sewage disposal, is the least preferred method
of servicing new development. A partial servicing scenario would not allow development
to proceed at the same scale as full servicing and in addition, the expansion of partial
services is strongly discouraged by Provincial policy.
Development on partial services, with individual septic systems would be limited by
Reasonable Use Guidelines, which limits the nitrate content of groundwater downstream
of development. Depending on local subsurface conditions and aquifer flow,
development density would be limited to 1 or 2 residences per hectare.
The following is a summary of planning alternatives to address the problem statement.
These alternatives will be discussed in further detail in Section 4.

3.2 Possible Alternatives
3.2.1 Water Supply
Reasonable alternatives for upgrades for the supply of potable water for the Craighurst
Secondary Plan include the following:
Alternative No. 1 - Do Nothing
Alternative No. 2 - Draw more water from the existing wells
Alternative No. 3 - Install additional wells in the lower sand and gravel aquifer
Alternative No. 4 - Install additional wells in the upper sand and gravel aquifer
A summary of the above noted Alternatives are presented in the following paragraphs.
Figure 3.1 depicts existing and possible well locations.
3.2.1.1 Alternative No. 1 - Do Nothing:
The Do Nothing alternative would leave the existing pumping station in operation and
not expand the water system beyond the current serviced area.
3.2.1.2 Alternative No. 2 - Draw more water from the existing wells:
This alternative involves upgrading the existing water pumping station to include
additional pump/s in order to draw more water from the existing wells to meet projected
water demands. The current maximum demand is 233 M3 Id where as the existing three
wells have a current combined capacity of 507 M3 /d. With a combined permit to draw
water @ 523 m3/d, additional 290 M3 /d of water can be drawn from the existing wells.
3.2.1.3 Alternative No. 3 - Install additional wells in the lower sand and gravel aquifer:
This alternative involves installation of two new wells in the lower sand and gravel
aquifer in addition to the existing wells at Craighurst Estates. Preliminary investigations
have shown that this aquifer has a potential long term safe yield of more than 450,000
m3/year. This means that the lower ground aquifer can serve 2,740 persons per day
@450 Ipcd, which translates to 913 residential units @ 3 persons per unit.
The new well systems would be connected to the system at Craighurst Estates.
Additional pumps to draw water from the new wells and watermains to connect the new
wells to the existing wells would be required. Apart from that storage tank/s for providing
storage for fire flow, equalization and emergency storage will have to be provided to
implement this alternative.
3.2.1.4 Alternative No. 4 - Install additional wells in the upper sand and gravel aquifer:
This alternative involves installation of two new wells in the upper sand and gravel
aquifer in addition to the existing wells at Craighurst Estates. With a long term safe yield
of 375,000 m3/year, the upper ground aquifer has a potential of serving 2,280 persons
per day @450 Ipcd, which translates to 760 residential units @ 3 persons per unit.
The new well systems would be connected to the system at Craighurst Estates.
Additional pumps to draw water from the new wells and watermains to connect the new

wells to the existing wells would be required. Apart from that storage tank/s for providing
storage for fire flow, equalization and emergency storage will have to be provided to
implement this alternative.
3.2.2 Water Storage
Reasonable alternatives for upgrades for the storage of potable water for the Craighurst
Settlement Area include the following:
Alternative No. 1 - Do Nothing
Alternative No. 2 - Provide local underground storage at new well sites
Alternative No. 3 - Provide central underground storage for the new development
Alternative No. 4 - Provide central above grade storage for the new development
Alternative No. 5 - Provide central elevated storage for the new development
Figure 3.1 shows possible locations for reservoirs.
3.2.2.1 Alternative No. 1 - Do Nothing
The Do Nothing alternative does not address the problem of storage for equalization,
maximum day demand and fire demand and thus would render the water supply system
inadequate to serve the secondary plan area. Hence this alternative does not allow
secondary development to be implemented.
3.2.2.2 Alternative No. 2 - Provide local underground storage at new well sites
This option would entail two underground concrete storage reservoirs constructed
underground, at the two well sites. Variable speed high lift pumps would have to be
provided for maintaining the desired pressure for instantaneous flows. In addition,
booster pumps for peak hour flows, fire flow pump and a standby power generator for
power backup for the pumps would be required.
3.2.2.3 Alternative No. 3 - Provide central underground storage for the new development
This option is similar to the above option except that instead of two local storage
reservoirs only one central underground reservoir would be required in this alternative.
Variable speed high lift pumps would have to be provided for maintaining the desired
pressure for instantaneous flows. In addition, booster pumps for peak hour flows, fire
flow pump and a standby power generator for power backup for the pumps would be
required. However booster pumps and fire pump would be required only at one location
as opposed to two in case of local underground storage alternative.
3.2.2.3 Alternative No. 4 - Provide central above grade storage for the new development
This option is also similar to alternative 3 except that the reservoir would be a storage
tank at grade.
Variable speed high lift pumps would have to be provided for maintaining the desired
pressure for instantaneous flows. In addition, booster pumps for peak hour flows, fire
flow pump and a standby power generator for power backup for the pumps would be
required.

Township of Oro-Medonte 14
Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
3.2.2.4 Alternative No. 5 - Provide central elevated storage for the new development
This option would involve construction of a centrally located elevated reservoir. The
elevated reservoir could be of concrete or steel. Central elevated storage will receive
disinfected well water directly from the well. The weight of the water in the elevated
storage tank will provide domestic and fire flow pressures for the entire Secondary Plan
area. This option obviates the requirement of having high lift pumps. Further, as the well
pumps have to lift the water to the level of elevated reservoir, pressurized disinfection
contact time is provided at the well location. This allows the disinfected well water to be
pumped directly to the distribution system.
3.2.3 Sewage Collection
Reasonable alternatives for upgrades for the storage of potable water for the Craighurst
Settlement Area include the following:
Alternative No. 1 -
Do Nothing
Alternative No. 2 -
Provide conventional gravity sewers
Alternative No. 3 -
Provide small bore sewers
Alternative No. 4 -
Provide pressure sewers
Figure 3.2 presents
a potential sewer system layout.
3.2.3.1 Alternative No. 1 - Do Nothing
The Do Nothing alternative does not provide any method for collection of sewage for its
treatment and final disposal. This option would not implement the preferred servicing
solution for Craighurst in the Official Plan.
3.2.3.2 Alternative No. 2 - Provide conventional gravity sewers
This alternative involves providing a conventional wastewater collection system that
would transport sewage from homes or other sources by gravity flow through buried
piping systems to a central treatment facility in the Craighurst settlement. These
systems are usually reliable and consume no power. However, the slope requirements
to maintain adequate flow by gravity may require deep excavations in hilly or flat terrain,
as well as the addition of sewage pump stations, which can significantly increase the
cost of conventional collection systems. Manholes and other sewer appurtenances
would also have to be provided which would add substantially to the overall cost of this
system.
3.2.3.3 Alternative No. 3 - Provide small bore sewers
The small-bore system is a gravity sewer that requires interceptor tanks at the head of
the sewer to prevent gross solids entering the sewer. The settling that first occurs in the
septic tank eliminates most of the solid matter from the wastewater. This enables the
collection pipes to have a smaller diameter and a more gradual incline.
Page 216 of 295
Agenda Item # 18k) - Being a By-law to Adopt Amendment No. 27 to the Official Pla...
Township of Oro-Medonte 15
Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
The pipes used are made of light weight plastic and can be buried at a relatively shallow
depth. Manholes are not required for small diameter gravity systems; instead, clean out
ports are used to service collector pipes. A household that already has a septic tank can
therefore readily connect to a small-bore system. Households that do not have a septic
tank will first have to construct a tank which may make the cost similar to the
conventional gravity sewer system. Hence this option would require all residential and
non residential units in the Craighurst secondary plan area to construct individual septic
tanks.
Also, depending on the topography of the terrain, a sewage pumping station may also
be required.
3.2.3.4 Alternative No. 4 - Provide pressure sewers
Pressure sewers utilize the force supplied by pumps, which deliver the wastewater to the
system from each property. Since pressure sewers do not rely on gravity, the systems
network of piping can be laid in very shallow trenches that follow the contour of the land.
This system would require provision of combinations of septic tank and effluent pumps.
Pressure sewers utilize septic tanks to settle out the solids - thus allowing use of
extremely small diameter piping. The effluent pump delivers the wastewater to the sewer
pipes and provides the necessary pressure to move it through the system. Provision and
maintenance of septic tank and the effluent pumps would be the responsibility of the unit
owners.
In addition, this system has to be installed with high water alarms. Because of the
addition of the pumps, pressure sewers tend to require more operation and
maintenance than small diameter gravity sewers. Operators can usually be hired on a
part time basis, as long as someone is on call at all times. Operators will need training
on both the plumbing and electrical aspects of the system.
3.2.4 Sewage Treatment and Disposal
Reasonable alternatives for sewage treatment and disposal for the Craighurst
Settlement Area include the following:
Alternative No. 1 - Do Nothing
Alternative No. 2 - Subsurface disposal using individual tile beds
Alternative No. 3 - Subsurface disposal using communal tile beds
Alternative No. 4 - Subsurface disposal using conventional wastewater treatment
Alternative No. 5 - Surface disposal using advanced wastewater treatment
A summary of the above noted Alternatives are presented in the following paragraphs.
Figure 3.2 shows possible locations for sewage treatment plants and disposal beds.
3.2.4.1 Alternative No. 1 - Do Nothing
The Do Nothing alternative does not provide any method for disposal of sewage and
hence does not allow secondary development to be implemented.

Township of Oro-Medonte 16
Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
3.2.4.2 Alternative No. 2 - Subsurface disposal using individual tile beds
This alternative involves each individual residential unit to have its own on-site septic
tank and tile bed system for subsurface disposal of effluent. This would entail collecting
raw sewage of a residential unit in an individual on-site septic tank followed by
subsurface disposal of the settled effluent through a the bed facility. Existing
development has been supported by similar individual conventional Class IV subsurface
sewage systems.
3.2.4.3 Alternative No. 3 - Subsurface disposal using communal sewage treatment system
This alternative involves subsurface sewage systems comprising a centralized
communal sewage treatment system. This would entail provision of a sanitary sewer
system for sewage collection along with a treatment system comprising of but not limited
to one of the following:
• Peat/biofilters
• Recirculation sand filters
• Large communal tile beds
Depending on the location of the sewage treatment plant and topography of the terrain a
sewage pumping station might also be required. It is also likely that land acquisition
would be required for the new sewage treatment plant and/or sewage pumping station.
Land for subsurface disposal through communal tile beds would be provided within each
subdivision as development proceeds. These lands would be conveyed to the
Township. Acquisition of land for tile beds would only be required if a suitable location
within the development is not available.
3.2.4.4 Alternative No. 4 - Subsurface disposal using conventional wastewater treatment
This alternative involves treatment of raw sewage in a centralized conventional
wastewater treatment plant followed by subsurface disposal of the treated effluent. This
would entail provision of a sanitary sewer system for sewage collection along with a
treatment system comprising of but not limited to one of the following:
• Activated sludge process with denitrification
• Sequential batch reactors (SBR) with denitrification
• Rotating Biological Contactors (RBC) with denitrification
Depending on the location of the sewage treatment plant and topography of the terrain a
sewage pumping station might also be required. It is also likely that land acquisition
would be required for the new sewage treatment plant and/or sewage pumping station.
Land for subsurface disposal through communal file beds would be provided within each
development as development proceeds. These lands would be conveyed to the
Township. Acquisition of land for tile beds would only be required if a suitable location
within the development is not available.

3.2.4.5 Alternative No. 5 - Surface disposal using advanced wastewater treatment
This alternative entails collection of raw sewage in a sanitary sewer system and
treatment in a centralized advanced wastewater treatment plant consisting of Membrane
Bioreactors, followed by surface disposal of the treated effluent.
Depending on the location of the sewage treatment plant and topography of the terrain a
sewage pumping station might also be required. It is also likely that land acquisition
would be required for the new sewage treatment plant and/or sewage pumping station.
3.2.5. Stormwater Management
Reasonable alternatives for upgrades for the stormwater management of Craighurst
Secondary Plan Area include the following:
Alternative No. 1 - Do Nothing
Alternative No. 2 - Follow best management practice
Alternative No. 3 - Provide stormwater management facilities
A summary of the above noted alternatives are presented in the following paragraphs.
Catchment areas and drainage directions are shown on Figure 3.3.
3.2.5.1 Alternative No. 1 - Do Nothing
The Do Nothing alternative does not provide any method for treatment or quantity
control of stormwater and hence does not allow secondary development to be
implemented.
3.2.5.2 Alternative No. 2 - Follow best management practice
Best management practice for stormwater management involves taking measures that
increase infiltration, reduce post-development peak flow and erosion, and enhance
water quality. This would entail measures like provision of Grassed swales along road,
vegetated buffer strips where practical especially alongside roadways in the vicinity of
stream crossings and construction of artificial ponds for detention of runoff etc.
3.2.5.3 Alternative No. 3 - Provide stormwater management facilities
This alternative would involve provision of stormwater management facilities comprising
- stormwater management ponds, curbs, gutters, sewers, manholes catch basins etc.
The drainage basins in the Craighust settlement including the secondary plan area is
divided into 8 areas from A to H for planning and provision of stormwater management
ponds Figure 3.3. Out of these, areas D and E lie in the existing development areas and
already have stormwater management ponds in them.
Six new Level 1 quality ponds in areas, A, B, C, F and G would be required for post
development storage and management of stormwater. Permanent pool storage volumes
are to be based on impervious ratio and drainage area. Final actual volumes should be
obtained through detailed hydrologic model undertaken at the functional servicing plan,

or detailed design stages. The active storages shall include extended detention storage
for erosion control, and quantity control storage for each design storm (2 to 100 year).
Drainage area "H" with an area less than five hectares would be provided with an
infiltration basin or dry pond since the area is too small to sustain a wet pond according
to NVCA Wet Pond Criteria.
3.2.6 Transportation
Reasonable alternatives for upgrades for the transportation network within the
Craighurst Secondary Plan Area include the following:
Alternative No. 1 - Do Nothing
Alternative No. 2 - Upgrade the road network to suit the requirement of secondary
plan
3.2.6.1 Alternative No. 1 - Do Nothing
The Do Nothing alternative does not provide for accommodation of post secondary
development traffic growth.
3.2.6.2 Alternative No. 2 - Upgrade the road network to suit the requirement of secondary
plan
This alternative involves providing additional lanes on arterial roads to facilitate smooth
movement of the increased traffic. Apart from that, provision of dedicated left turn lanes,
provision of an advance green signals for dedicated left turns, queue storage and
additional approach lanes to railways would also have to be provided. Further, upgrades
to transportation infrastructure including - extension of existing right of ways and
provision of urban cross sections for storm sewers and gutters.

4. ASSESSMENT OF ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS
4.1 General
This section provides a detailed discussion and assessment of alternative solutions
presented in Section 3.
4.2 Water Supply, Storage and Distribution
A water system consists of a raw water supply source with pumps that discharge directly
to the consumer or to storage, water quality treatment systems, water storage either
above or below ground, high pressure pumps that discharge to the distribution system
pipe network and provide domestic water and or fire protection.
4.2.1 Water Supply
Water supply is typically either from secure ground water wells or a surface water body.
An alternative is the purchase of potable water from an outside location. There is no
opportunity to utilize surface water as a source of water or to purchase water from an
outside agency or Municipality.
4.2.1.1 Existing Supply
The Craighurst Estates Water Works system has a current capability to supply about 55
units residential and about 10 equivalent units for commercial development (400 Ipcd).
In terms of water demands the system is designed for Average Day Demand of 77.8
m3/d, Maximum Day Demand of 233 m3/d, peak hour demand of 6.6 L/s, and a fire
demand of 16.6 L/s over 2 hours. The system is limited in terms of providing additional
capacity.
Apart from the Craighurst Estate water wells, there are approximately 110 existing
individual wells within the study area.
4.2.1.2 Future Demand
Institutional demand
Church - .70 seats @8 L per seat:
0.56 m3/d

Total Non-residential demand:
42 M3 /d
Non-Residential Equivalent Population @ 450 L/day:

Environmental Study Report
Phase 2 south of Horseshoe Valley Road: 300 Units
Future Equivalent Units 31 Units
Future Equivalent Residential Units: 731 Units
Existing Development: 94 Units
Total Equivalent Residential Units: 825 Units
As per MOE Guidelines, a residential demand of 450 liters per capita per day (Ipcd) is
normally used to calculate residential water demands in urban areas.
It is very common to see historical water records for domestic usage in Simcoe County
with a water consumption of 400 litres per capita per day. This has been attributed to the
use of low flush toilets and water saving devices of the environmentally aware
consumers.
For the purpose of this assessment the total future average day water demand is
established as (994 M3 /d), say 1,000 m3/d.
4.2.1.3 Well Locations
The preferred location for advancing new wells is predicated on the hydrogeology data
from historical data for the available sites. The availability of suitable property can be a
limiting factor as site topography and the associated existing land use may impose
restrictions on either the location of the well or future development.
Locating new wells away from the preferred storage facilities provides an engineering
challenge but does not preclude this concept from consideration. The advancement of a
municipal grade well at the best site for a water source well is always given serious
consideration during a drilling program. The phased approach and sequence of
development within the settlement area may present limitations on the availability of well
sites.
Potential areas of access to the lower aquifer include:
The Snider well (MOE Well No.18 14), which taps into a sand and gravel unit
approximately 20 meters thick at 70 meters depth. This well is close to the
Cemetery.
An extensive sand aquifer of approximately 50 meters thick under artesian
conditions found commencing at 25 meters depth in the vicinity of MOE Well No.
11090, which is located on the west side of the CPR west of the Craighurst Estates
subdivision. This Well location is close to a potential wastewater discharge area.
An extensive gravel aquifer of unknown thickness and encountered at relatively
shallow depths of between 25 and 50 meters confined by clay and till south of
County Road 22.
Other local factors that must be considered when positioning a production well,
including the location of supply wells outside of the Secondary Plan area and potential
sources of contamination to the water supply. Table 4.1 summarizes local issues with
respect to production well positioning.

Since it is desirable that development of the North and the South Quadrant of the
Secondary Planning Area proceed consecutively, it is feasible to implement potable
groundwater supply sources as follows:
1. Continue to use the Craighurst Estates water supply systems
2. No change for existing development at the outset.
3. Construct test wells to determine well and aquifer yield.
4. Construct storage for 1,855 m3 or as confirmed by potential water supply from well
tests.
5. Develop a production well in the North Quadrant at the north limit of the Passive
Park, extending services to existing development not serviced by the Craighurst
Estates Water Works and fill the new storage reservoir.
6. Develop a second production well, located in the southern section of the Secondary
Plan area east of the CPR, in the active Community Park, to service those areas that
cannot be serviced by the above, and the area within the South Quadrant.
7. Interconnect the three water supply systems by connecting trunk water mains to
service the entire Secondary Plan Area.
The number of wells for each location is dependent on the ability of each well to meet
the projected theoretical demands. Extensive long duration 72 hour pump tests are
required to determine the feasibility of utilizing a new well to produce an acceptable
yield. Extensive water quality chemical testing is undertaken to verify that the source
water is acceptable to meet the provincial requirements for potable water.
Permit to Take Water Regulations are changing and all applications are extensively
reviewed by the Ministry of the Environment. There is an existing Permit to Take Water
in Craighurst and any additional potable water wells would require an amendment and
reissue of the existing permit. All water taking over 50,000 litres per day is monitored,
and permits are issued with many restriction. However, Permits to Take Water are still
reviewed and issued by the MOE on a first come first serve basis.
Since the Township encourages development to occur in settlement areas such as
Craighurst, it is not anticipated that there will be any issues on the issue of an
amendment to the Permit to Take Water. The historical hydrogeology for water supply in
this location suggests that there is more than a sufficient source of ground water to
realize the proposed development in the southern portion of the Secondary Plan in the
future. However, test wells with quantity and quality testing should be completed as

early as possible to confirm a sufficient water supply is available to fully develop the
area and consider other development applications in the aquifer recharge area.
4.2.2 Water Storage
Craighurst Estates Water system has a current storage capacity of 112 m3 provided by
a below grade reservoir. Installation of new source water well system for the secondary
plan area would then require the construction of additional water storage. Water
storage is required to provide, contact time, equalization storage, fire protection storage
and emergency use storage.
With fire protection storage a function of the total volume of water to be designed into a
system it is necessary to discuss the level of fire protection within the serviced area. The
level of fire protection is controlled by the Municipality with the Ministry of the
Environment Guidelines suggesting the fire flow requirements based upon population.
The minimum currently accepted fire flow is 38 liters per second at 140 kPa pressure at
every fire hydrant within the distribution system. The second consideration for fire
protection is the ability to provide at the discretion of the Municipality additional fire flow
to meet the specific requirements of individual developments in commercial or
employment areas. It is sometimes mandated by fire Underwriters that specific fire flow
and pressures be available. It is often standard practice that on site supplemental water
storage and booster fire pumps be employed to meet the site specific requirements of
the Fire Underwriters.
With the population of the serviced area predicted by the number of available lots it is
suggested at this time that the level of fire protection be established at 110 litres per
second.
MOE guidelines require 25% maximum day equalization storage, fire protection for two
hours at 110 L/sec, and 25% of the total storage for emergency at the existing storage.
Total storage required for the Secondary Plan area would be:
Fire 110 L/sec for two hours = 792 m3
Equalization 2,768 M3 /d x 25% = 692 m3
Emergency @ 25% = 371 m3
Total Storage = 1,855m3
Chlorine Contact time for 15 minutes (typical) = 29 m3
The topography within the identified Secondary Plan area and the corresponding
analysis of any pressure drop due to elevation differences concludes that the distribution
water piping network can be serviced within one pressure zone. Consequently,
additional booster pumping facilities will not be required to create more than one
pressurized zone.
Storage options for potable and fire protection can consist of either a central storage
facility or one or more local or nodal storage reservoirs. The final selection of a storage

system can also be dependent on development phasing. Central storage can be
constructed in phases as mandated by phased development but at a premium of initial
capital cost. The problem with the anticipated development within the secondary plan is
that is not possible to predict which area will be approved and go to construction first.
This mandates that the location of a expansion to the water system may be driven by
which developer chooses to go to market first.
The options for the location of a water treatment and storage facility are firstly existing
Municipal property, secondly the purchase of property at a preferred location and thirdly
the allocation of land within an identified settlement area. The latter although preferred,
limits the choice of a central facility given the unknown as to the sequence of
development.
Water storage reservoirs can be either constructed in ground, at grade or elevated on a
structural pedestal. Each design offers individual advantages or disadvantages that
must be considered on a site by site review.
Underground or grade level storage is typically less expensive than elevated storage
and allows the option of limited construction phasing. Some storage is also necessary
for disinfection contact time, pump cycling, peak hour and instantaneous water demands
4.2.3 Water Distribution
The entire Secondary Plan can be serviced within one pressure zone. As such, water
distribution mains should be directly interconnected between the various development
areas and to the existing Craighurst Estate system.
Water pressure variations are anticipated at the east and west limits of the Secondary
Plan. High pressures are predicted at the lower elevations along the west limit of the
secondary plan and lower pressures are calculated along the highlands near the east
limit of the Secondary Plan. However it is concluded that operating pressures within
each development area are still within the required design guidelines.
It is anticipated that the existing distribution system will provide adequate fire flow. It is
preferred that all communal water within the secondary plan be linked to provide one
integrated system. Water distribution pipe and property services can be provided to
existing development under Section 326 of the Municipal Act.
Water distribution network analysis using a currently recognized method based on
Hardy Cross or one of the computer model derivatives shall be undertaken to ensure
design flows can be delivered throughout the distribution system at the required design
pressures.
The water distribution system may require private rights-of-way or easements to loop
the water network across drainage courses or through as yet unidentified areas of the
Secondary Plan. Watermain extension loops through easements are promoted at the
end of culs-de-sac to prevent dead ends that cause water quality deterioration.

Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
Water supply from the storage reservoir and the three Well locations within the
Secondary Plan results in shorter lengths of watermain between sources, and the
furthest demand and highest demand are less distance away than water provided from
one source. The lower friction losses result in smaller diameter watermain, such that the
maximum size of watermain needed to deliver maximum day plus fire flow is 250 mm
diameter.
4.3 Wastewater Collection, Treatment and Disposal
4.3.1 Wastewater Flows
It is anticipated that the existing commercial and residential development will at some
time connect to the new sewage treatment facilities in due course. New development in
the Secondary Plan forecast in Section 2 of this report will require wastewater services
similar to the water requirements identified in Section 3: "Water Supply Storage and
Distribution".
Total residential development is expected in a minimum of two distinct development
phases with approximately 400 units in Phase 1 and 300 residential units in Phase 2.
The existing residential development has about 100 units and when combined with the
non-residential development results in about 131 equivalent residential units.
Both residential and non-residential wastewater flows reflect the theoretical water supply
when infiltration into the collection network is considered.. Section 2.2.2 identifies water
demand for development of 825 equivalent residential units at 400 liters per capita per
day (1,200 liters/unit). The objective of developing the water supply will result in about
1000 M3 /d of wastewater produced.
The 1000 m3/d average daily flow from residential and non-residential development in
the Secondary Plan, includes an allowance for infiltration into the sanitary sewage
collection system. The total developed area serviced by sanitary sewers is about 100
ha, and the equivalent service population is 2,488 people. MOE design criteria for new
sewage facilities for new development require that:
1. Strict control should be provided by the municipality to ensure sewer services from
Property line to new buildings will be implemented to prevent sump pumps; footing
drain and roof drain connections to the sanitary sewer, and insure proper building
service construction and connections.
2. Adequate design and inspection during construction of both the municipal sewer and
property services, and private services to the building.
3. Routine inspection and maintenance programs are in place by the
municipal itylope rating authority to insure a tight system is maintained.
In addition to the above sewage flows based on usage, an infiltration/inflow rate of
groundwater is added to the system to account for potential future leaks into the system.
This is also used for design of sewage facilities such as pumping stations and treatment
facilities is typically stated at 90 L/day per person. Historically for this location and the
nature of the underlying soil strata with the corresponding elevation of the ground water
this value can be adjusted.

Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
The rated capacity of the Sanitary Sewage Plant is a function of the rate at which the
raw sanitary sewage is collected and discharged to the faculty and the capacity of the
transfer pumps to deliver the raw sewage to the inlet works. This flow rate from either a
sanitary sewage lift station constructed within the waste water treatment plant or from a
forcemain and pumping station can not exceed the maximum rated capacity of the plant.
It is estimated that the build-out of the Secondary Plan will result in an average daily flow
of 1,000 M3 /d and with a design peak hour factor of 3.0 produces a facility rated at
3,000 M3 /d (peak daily flow).
Maximum daily flow for wastewater facilities is related to stormwater inflow/infiltration
and total water consumption/disposal, (similar to water facilities). Maximum daily flows
and peak hour flows are equalized in the design of the wastewater facilities and are
cushioned by averaging and storage in the collection system. The peaking factor is
often determined by the selection of the treatment process. This will then impose
limitations on the rate that the raw sewage is discharged to the treatment design or flow
balancing must be incorporated into the pumping stations or plant.
In addition to wastewater from the Secondary Plan, the ability to accept septage for
treatment and disposal or to temporarily back-up other Municipal Sewage Treatment
Plants should be considered.
Discharge criteria are set by the MOE Southwestern Region. An assimilation study for
the Nottawasaga River watershed, completed in 2006, has established loading criteria
for individual subwatersheds and the resulting discharge criteria.
Once the final effluent limits and objectives to the identified parameters have been set
then the Reasonable Use Guidelines (RUG) can be applied to this development.
The ability of the underlying soils to accept the final wastewater effluent determines if
subsurface disposal by hydraulic conductivity is a viable option. Non cohesive sandy
soils are preferred over heavy clays or till with a detailed analysis by a competent
hydrogeologist.
Based on the assessment undertaken during the Background Study the permeable soils
are suitable for infiltration. Additional field investigation will be needed to define the
infiltration areas for the Municipal Sewage Treatment Plant during the preparation of the
Master Servicing Reports that are part of the site specific approval process.
Biosolids
Biosolids or sludge production is similar for all alternative treatment processes and must
be disposed typically by land application under the specific and current legislation of the
Province of Ontario. It is not anticipated that the disposal of biosolids from this location
will be an issue.

4.3.2 Sewage Collection
Alternative sewage collection systems include, but are not limited to, the following
collection systems:
• Conventional gravity sewers
• Small bore sewers
• Pressure systems
• Vacuum systems
The method of sewage collection can have a bearing on the amount of groundwater
infiltration that must be treated. Small bore sewers and pressure/vacuum systems have
lower infiltration volumes. However, conventional gravity sewers are reliable, virtually
maintenance free, and have virtually no operating costs.
In addition, sewage collection systems that incorporate holding or septic tanks can
reduce peak sewage flows that must be dealt with by both the collection system and
treatment facility.
In deciding on sewage collection systems several considerations must be taken into
account.
1. The undulating topography may require deep burial of gravity sewers and possibly
necessitates the use of pumping stations and the expropriation of easements, if
same cannot be obtained in a cooperative manner.
2. Native soils are favorable with respect to the construction of underground utilities
such as sewers.
3. There could be dewatering problems in low lying areas. This could impede
construction of sewers, and potentially impact adjacent shallow wells.
Of the various types of sewage collection systems gravity sanitary sewers are the
preferred method of collection for the Secondary Plan.
4.3.3 Sewage Treatment and Disposal
There are no communal sewage systems within the Secondary Plan Area. Existing
development has been supported by individual conventional Class IV subsurface
sewage systems.
Sanitary sewage treatment facilities utilizing modern technology offer a very high level of
treatment that produces a final effluent suitable for discharge to the environment.
There are several alternative sewage treatment systems that can be considered for
installation within this settlement area. Sanitary Sewage treatment typically involves
primary treatment or screening to remove solids, secondary treatment with biological
activity to produce an effluent at acceptable and mandated levels of the identified

Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
parameters. It is sometimes required that tertiary treatment be utilized to further lower
the level of the design parameters to meet stringent final effluent limits. This is often
accomplished with deep bed filters or membrane filters.
In a conventional Class 1V sewage system, the septic tank provides both primary
treatment, and initiates secondary treatment. The subsurface distribution system
completes secondary treatment. Tertiary treatment is provided by filtering effluent
through the underlying soils.
Alternative treatment systems include, but are not limited to the following:
Treatment and Disposal of Effluent to subsurface soils.
• Peat/biofilters
• Recirculation sand filters
• Infiltration lagoons
• Large communal tile beds
Primary treatment and Subsurface or Surface Water Disposal of Effluent
• Activated sludge with aeration or extended aeration
• Rotary biological contactors
• Sequential batch reactors
• Lagoons with or without aeration
• Biological membrane systems
• Others
Groundwater Surface Disposal of Effluent
Lagoons with spray irrigation or snowfluent discharge
A review of the local soils and overburden characteristics conclude that the site is
favorable for the subsurface disposal of the final effluent. The second option to be
considered is to discharge the final effluent to a receiving surface water such as one of
the tributaries to Matheson Creek or Craig's swamp. Matheson Creek is identified as a
cold water fishery that requires specific criteria be applied to final sewage effluent if this
is to be considered a viable option.
The limits and objectives of the identified parameters such as suspended solids,
biochemical oxygen demand, nitrates and possibly phosphorus must be applied within
the guidelines for Reasonable Use Guidelines (RUG). The preliminary RUG analysis will
then determine the actual loading of the identified parameters thru the subsurface
disposal beds to the groundwater. The amount of final effluent at the suggested final
effluent limits will determine the quantity of effluent that can be disposed off. Given
below is a description of constraints and opportunities in treatment options and
subsurface/surface water disposal options for the treated effluent.

Subsurface Disposal
So far as subsurface disposal of treated affluent from any of these treatment systems is
concerned, there are two possible scenarios based on whether or not the effluent plume
is hydraulically isolated from the drinking groundwater aquifer. Given below is a brief
description of disposal criteria for both scenarios.
Subsurface Disposal .without hydraulic isolation
MOE Policy B-7 of reasonable use is applied to measure the impact of development
proposals supported by subsurface sewage systems serving five or more residential
units, or large subsurface sewage disposal systems that discharge more than 10,000
L/d effluent. The Policy is applied where it cannot be demonstrated that the effluent
plume is hydraulically isolated from sources of groundwater supply.
Nitrate (N), which is converted from ammonia found in domestic sewage, is used to
measure groundwater impact potential.
When nitrate attenuation is assessed, only that which occurs by dilution is considered.
The amount of water available for dilution is equal to the annual infiltration rate of 250
mm.
The value of Ce is a function of the type of wastewater treatment system and the level of
treatment effected by the system. Hence the density of development - i.e. residential
units per hectare @ 3 persons/unit - would be determined by the value of Ce and
consequently the type of treatment system and its efficiency.
Subsurface Disposal -Communal System with Hydraulic Isolation
In case it is demonstrated that the effluent plume is hydraulically isolated from potential
supply aquifers, then Policy B-7 is satisfied. This situation typically occurs where there is
a hydraulic boundary to groundwater flow immediately downgradient of the location of
subsurface sewage disposal. The background information collected to date suggests
the wetlands west and north of the Study Area present a hydraulic boundary to
groundwater flow. Further, there is an upward hydraulic gradient in the direction of
groundwater flow adjacent to the wetlands. At the time of final design it will be
necessary to satisfy all provincial guidelines to demonstrate that the effluent plume
discharge from a communal sewage system utilizing subsurface disposal is hydraulically
isolated from groundwater supply aquifers.
Should this situation exist, then the discharge of effluent via the subsurface will occur to
the adjacent wetlands and eventually to Matheson Creek.
Tertiary treatment of effluent would occur naturally by:
1. Filtering effluent through the overburden soils.
2. Uptake by wetland vegetation at the point of effluent discharge to surface.

Township of Oro-Medonte 30
Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
Under the Water Resources Act, the Ministry of Environment applies Policies 1 and 2 of
the Provincial Water Quality Objectives as they relate to surface water quality
degradation resulting from the discharge of effluent. It must be demonstrated through an
analysis of the assimilative capacity of the receiving watercourse, that these policies are
met.
Policy 1 states that where upstream surface water quality is below the PWQO
concentration, water quality cannot be degraded to worse than the PWQO concentration
at the downstream compliance limit.
Policy 2 states that where upstream surface water quality is equal to or above the
PWQO concentration, it cannot be degraded further at the downstream compliance
limit.)
In case of surface water discharge - whether directly or via subsurface flow -
phosphorous replaces nitrate as the parameter of concern within sewage effluent. The
PWQO for total phosphorous is 0.03 mg/L. For impact assessment, a concentration of
15 mg/L (P) phosphorous in sewage effluent is used. Phosphorous attenuation occurs
naturally in the soil, and by dilution. Sewage treatment systems are also capable of
reducing the concentration of phosphorous.
The natural retention capacity of the native soil media beneath the subsurface
distribution system, and between the distribution system and the point of discharge to
the surface must be measured to determine the attenuation capacity of the soil.
In all likelihood, the size of development which could be supported by a communal
sewage system utilizing subsurface disposal located in the hydrologic setting described
will be dictated by the hydraulic capabilities of the overburden that must accept sewage
flows rather than phosphorous attenuation.
Surface disposal
The capacity of Matheson Creek, or Craig's Swamp, to receive sewage is limited by the
application of PWQO Policy I with respect to total phosphorous. The Assimilative
Capacity Study (2006) identified the Matheson Creek, and consequently the Willow
Creek subwatershed as unimpaired and also the water meets PWQO. Therefore any
discharge would also have to meet this criterion. A flow rate analysis at the discharge
location, effects of elevated flow on downstream vegetation and structures, and potential
seasonal fluctuation in phosphorous concentrations in the stream must be assessed in
order to fully evaluate this option as they were not addressed by the Assimilative
Capacity Study.
4.3.4 Treatment Plant Location
Since it is proposed to phase development to accommodate growth estimated at 75
units per year, more than one treatment facility and plant expansion phasing are to be
considered. The option of constructing more than one treatment plant significantly
increases initial capital expenditures and long term operating costs. A more economical
option, due to economy of scale, is the design of a plant that can be expanded.

Consequently, we do not recommend more than one municipal wastewater treatment
facility (sewage treatment is separate from disposal by one or more tile beds). However,
the Class Environmental Assessment for the new Sewage Treatment Plant will review
this option as a potential solution.
The preferred location of a future wastewater treatment facility must take into account
many factors relating to engineering constraints as well as social economic
considerations. Potential sites must take into account:
• The integration of the collection of the raw sanitary sewage and delivery to the
WWTP with either gravity sewers, pressure forcemains or a combination of the
both.
• Access to the site by operational staff and maintenance vehicles.
• The availability of high voltage power to the site.
• Concerns with noise, odours.
• The integration of the site and architecture with proposed or existing residential
or commercial development.
• Site topography.
• Integration into a phased approach to an undefined growth pattern driven by
private enterprise.
There are a limited number of potential sites to locate a new waste water treatment plant
within or immediately surrounding the defined settlement area.
The first potential site, SITE 1, is located at the northeast corner of Lot 41, Concession 1
west of the CPR railway. This location illustrated on Figure 3.2 is selected for the
following reasons:
- The Plant is downstream of, but close proximity to, the gravity collection system for
the Secondary Plan;
- The Plant is midway between the north and south limits of the Secondary Plan to
reduce trunk sewer lengths, depths and diameters
- The Plant abuts, but is above flood levels of Copeland wetland. The wetland is non-
agriculture and non-developable, provides a natural buffer and is available for
consideration of a wastewater discharge if discharge to the wetland is selected in the
Class Environmental Assessment process
- The Plant abuts the railway as a visible barrier and as a non-residential buffer, and is
in a non-developed agricultural location outside the Secondary Plan. As such, the
Plant is expandable
- The Plant is located such that property acquisition from Lot 41 or Lot 42 owners will
ensure a competitive price
- The Plant is located such that infiltration disposal options can be provided by either
Lot 41 or Lot 42, or both
- The Plant is located outside the Secondary Plan where development is proposed, so
trunk sewers and forcemain parallel to the CPR railway, (as a Utility corridor), will not
interfere with multiple residential properties. Power supply, telecommunications, gas
and utilities can be provided along a utility corridor from County Rd 22

The Plant location is midway between two streams that may provide the option of
surface water discharge to one or both depending on the Class Environmental
Assessment. Gravity or pumped discharge is possible
The site is accessible from County Rd 22 and is in close proximity to Highway 400.
Truck traffic for deliveries and sludge disposal do not need to travel through the
Secondary Plan development.
The Second potential location, SITE 2 is located at the northeast corner of Lot 40,
Concession 1 west of the CPR railway. This location illustrated on Figure 3.2 is selected
for the following reasons:
- The Plant is downstream of, but close proximity to, the gravity collection system for
the Secondary Plan;
- The Plant is between the north and south limits of the Secondary Plan with there
being multiple options on location of trunk gravity sewers or force mains to reach the
site
- The Plant abuts, but is above flood levels of Copeland wetland.
- The Plant abuts the railway as a visible barrier and as a non-residential buffer.
- Is in a non-developed agricultural location outside the Secondary Plan. As such, the
Plant is expandable
- The Plant is located such that the disposal options can be explored in detail during
the phased development of the site by locating site specific areas and forcemains as
required.
- The Plant is located outside the Secondary Plan where development is proposed, so
trunk sewers and forcemain parallel to the CPR railway, (as a Utility corridor), will not
interfere with multiple residential properties. Power supply, telecommunications, gas
and utilities can be provided along a utility corridor from County Rd 22
- The site is easily accessible from County Rd 22 and is in close proximity to Highway
400. Truck traffic for deliveries and sludge disposal do not need to travel through the
Secondary Plan development.
The third potential location, SITE 3, is located at the northeast corner of Lot 41,
Concession 1 East of the CPR railway. This site, illustrated on Figure 3.2 is selected for
the following reasons:
- The Plant is downstream of only part of the proposed development area. Another
development area would require dedicated pumping stations and forcemains to send
the raw sewage to this site.
- The Plant is above flood levels.
- The Plant would site adjacent to the railway.
- The Plant is located such that the disposal options can be explored in detail during
the phased development of the site by locating site specific areas and forcemains as
required.
- The Plant is located inside the Secondary Plan where development is proposed, so
trunk sewers, forcemains power supply, telecommunications, gas and utilities can be
provided along a utility corridor from Highway 93
- The site is easily accessible from Highway 93 and is in close proximity to Highway
400. Truck traffic for deliveries and sludge disposal do not need to travel through the
proposed residential development.

The density of development in "settled areas" is relatively low outside the central
commercial area located at the crossroads in Craighurst. Typical existing lot sizes in
residential areas range between 0.2 and 1.5 hectares (0.5 and 4.0 acres).
The following is a description of each drainage basin:
Basin 9 drains to the extreme southwest corner of the planning area. There is no
defined watercourse. However, there is a 0.6 meter diameter concrete culvert to convey
any overland flow which may occur from this basin through the CPR embankment.
Basin 2 lies south of County Road 22. Topographic mapping shows the watercourse
crossing County Road 22 at the CPR crossing; however, the 1.8 x 0.9 meter concrete
box culvert passes through the railroad embankment only. Flow from this basin is
directed towards the Highway 400 cloverleaf south of County Road 22 where it joins the
outfall from Basin 1. This drainage route flows intermittently.
Basin 3 was once part of Basin 2 before County Road 22 was constructed. Basin 3
commences at the Foodland grocery store and drains the south portion of the new
Craighurst Estates Subdivision to a 0.6 meter diameter concrete pipe culvert passing
under the railway embankment. There is no defined watercourse downstream of the
CPR.
Basin 4 is a small intermediate drainage area that coincides with a pronounced gully
that commences immediately to the northeast of the intersection at County Roads 22
and 93. There is a small storm sewer system that drains the intersection. The storm
sewer outlets to the Basin 4 gully where County Road 93 crosses it south of the
intersection. Overland flow at the base of the gully occurs briefly after a runoff event.
The 0.9 meter diameter culvert under County Road 93 is half filled with silt. Some minor
erosion is evident at the road embankment.

Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
A 0.9 x 1.2 meter concrete box culvert under the CPR embankment accepts surface
drainage from this basin. Base flow does not occur in Basin 4 until just upstream of
Highway 400.
Basin 5 encompasses the northerly section of the study area. Base flow is evident at
County Road 22 where there is a 1.2 meter diameter CSP. The stream channel at this
location is 0.3 meters wide by 0.15 meters deep and flows southeast to northwest
through the study area. The stream crosses County Road 93 through a 0.9 meter CSP
culvert and then passes through a 1.5 x 1.8 meter concrete arch culvert at the CPR
embankment. The stream channel approaching the CPR culvert is 0.3 meters wide and
0.4 meters deep and has a flow of 12 Us (with 25-30 mm rainfall three days prior).
There is a sub-basin within Basin 5 that is approximately 26 hectares in size. It has no
defined channel and drains to a 1.2 x 0.8 meter concrete box culvert that passes under
the CPR, then to a 0.9 meter diameter steel culvert that passes under County Road 93.
Surface drainage from this sub-basin joins drainage from the balance of Basin 5 within
the swamp lying west of the Study Area.
Basin 6 is located in the northerly limit of the study area. There is no evidence of a
riparian channel at County Road 22. However, at the CPR 1.2 x 1.5 meter concrete arch
culvert the stream channel is 0.3 meters wide and 0.2 meters deep. A stream flow of 20
Us was measured at the CPR culvert on April 24, 2000. There is a High Water mark on
the culvert headwall that coincides with the top of the culvert opening. Basin 6 outlets to
Craig's Swamp
4.4.1.2 Stormwater Management Facilities
There are two stormwater management facilities in Basin 3. One is located in the
northwest corner of the Foodland store parking lot. The other is located in the southwest
corner of the Craighurst Estates Subdivision. Both stormwater management ponds offer
pre/post-development storm drainage control as well as an opportunity for surface runoff
to infiltrate into the ground.
4.4.1.3 Soils
The Simcoe County Soil Survey shows the surface soils surrounding Craighurst to be
Tioga sand loam and Tioga sand-Vasey sand loam at elevations higher than contour
250 masi. Below contour 250 masi, the soils are either Alliston sandy loam, or muck.
Muck soils are found in the lower swamp areas adjacent to Highway 400 west and north
of Craighurst. The Alliston soils are located at marginally higher elevations found
adjacent to the low swamp lands.
Tioga and Vasey soils are well draining with high infiltration characteristics, and belong
in soil hydrologic groups A and AB, respectively. Alliston sandy loam soils are fine sands
with imperfect drainage and a similar hydrologic group classification of AB. Muck soils
are typically located in areas where organic material has collected and drainage is poor.

Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
4.4.2 Guidelines for future Stormwater Management
The stormwater management plan for the Secondary Planning Area shall be completed
in accordance with the most current provincial, municipal and the Nottawasaga Valley
Conservation Authority guidelines. The guidelines shall include, but are not limited to,
the following:
Water Quantity
Post-development peak flow rates attenuated to pre-development levels, or less, for all
storms up to and including the 100 year rainfall event. Safe conveyance of the
stormwaterforthe Regional Storm Event is required for all road and subdivision design.
Water Quality
Enhanced treatment (formerly designated Level 1) is required due to:
The Planning Area located in Oro Moraine, a very important recharge area and
headwater of Matheson Creek;
Downstream coldwater fisheries
A setback of 30 meters is required on either side of a natural stream.
4.4.3 Pre Development Stormwater Flows
SWMHYMO, a computer stormwater management hydrologic model, was utilized to
compute the peak runoff flows for the six existing drainage basin areas.
Table 3.3 provides a summary of the 2, 5, 25, and 100 year SCS 24 hour design storm
and Regional Storm (Timmins Storm) event peak flows.
Post development peak flows are to be modeled in detail at the functional servicing plan
stages, or when the development density is clearly identified.

4.4.4 Post Development Stormwater Management
Post development peak flows for the Planning Area should be controlled to the pre-
development levels or less for all storms up to and including the 100 year rainfall event
Post development peak flows are to be modeled in detail at the functional servicing plan
stages, or when the development density is clearly identified.
4.4.5 Stormwater Management Ponds
The preferred location of stormwater management ponds, and corresponding catchment
areas, within the Secondary Planning Area are shown on Drawing SWM-I.
Pond sites were selected based on the following criteria:
• Locations that would facilitate inter-basin drainage where feasible.
• Upstream of existing drainage culverts crossing Hwy 93 and the CPR thus avoiding
expensive culvert enlargements.
• At the most downstream location within the Secondary Plan Area.
• Locations that also capture drainage from existing lots in addition to new
development.
Each pond shall provide "enhanced" or Level 1 quality protection per Table 3.2 of the
"Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual" (MOE, 2003). Permanent pool
storage volumes are to be based on impervious ratio and drainage area.
Table 4.4 summarizes the storage volumes for each drainage basin pond. The volumes
are preliminary, actual volumes should be obtained through detailed hydrologic model
undertaken at the functional servicing, or detailed design stages.

Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
Highway 400 is a controlled access freeway. It provides a major route of vehicular
transport between Toronto - Barrie - Parry Sound - Sudbury and areas beyond.
Simcoe County Road 93 (Penetanguishene Road) was formerly King's Highway 93. It
provides a connecting route between the City of Barrie and Penetanguishene/Midland. It
runs parallel to Highway 400 south of Craighurst to Barrie and crosses Highway 400 two
kilometers north of the study area. Since it runs parallel to Highway 400, County Road
93 acts as a service road to provide an alternate route when Highway 400 traffic is
diverted or congested, and functions as a major collector road between interchanges.
The County of Simcoe's Official Plan has classified County Road 93 as a primary
arterial road. It has a 30.5 meter Right-of-Way (ROW) throughout most of its length
within and beyond the study area. There is a 150 meter section of ROW immediately
north of County Road 22 that is only 20.0 meters wide. Through the hamlet there is a
pedestrian sidewalk on the west side and east side of the ROW north and south of
County Road 22, respectively.
Simcoe County Road 22 (Horseshoe Valley Road) is an east-west connecting route that
extends from King's Highway 12 just north of Orillia to King's Highway 26. Through the
centre of the hamlet, County Road 22 has a 20.0 meter ROW width and is classified as
a secondary arterial road. East and west of the hamlet, it has a 30.5 meter ROW, and is
classified as a primary arterial road by the Official Plan for Simcoe County.
The intersection of County Rd 93 and County Rd 22 is a signalized two lane
intersection, with left turn lanes for each approach to the intersection. Pedestrian signals
are in place but currently advance green signal phasing is not implemented.
The speed limit through the intersection is posted at 60 km/h.
The intersection and approaches are relatively flat and at right angles with good sight
lines for both stopping and turning. A slight vertical grade up to the intersection for
southbound traffic does not restrict visibility.
Commercial development and some residential development access the intersection
within the length of the left turn lanes interfering with both sight line visibility and
intersection traffic during peak periods.
Overall, both the intersection at County Rd 93 and 22, and the intersection approaches,
are currently operating at a high level of service.
4.5.3 Summary of Traffic Study
A traffic study was completed in support of the Craighurst Secondary Plan. The Study is
included as Appendix B and is summarized below.
The Study assessed future transportation requirements related to development of the
Craighurst area along with future traffic growth on County Roads 22 and 93.

Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
• Forecasting future traffic volumes for a 20 year horizon by combining existing
traffic with an estimate of the trips that would be generated by the Craighurst
Secondary Plan and Horseshoe Valley Resort area, and considering a range of
growth in background traffic.
• Analyzing traffic operations for the signalized intersection of County Roads
22/93;
• Calculating the exposure index (daily trains X daily traffic) for the County Road
22/CP level rail crossing to determine if there is a need to consider a grade
separation; and
• Reviewing alternative road and traffic control requirements, and identifying a
preferred alterative to address the requirements of the anticipated traffic growth.
The conclusions and recommendations of the Craighurst Secondary Plan Traffic Study
are as follows:
a) Through a comparison of current and historical traffic data, it was found that
there has been relatively little growth in the weekday peak hour traffic volumes at
the County Roads 22/93 intersection in the period 1998 to 2007.
b) Three alternative traffic forecasts for 2027 indicate the potential for substantial
traffic growth (134 to 215 per cent increase over existing) at the County Roads
22/93 intersection and in the County Road 22 corridor through Craighurst. The
Craighurst Secondary Plan area and the Horseshoe Valley Settlement Node
account for approximately one-third and two-thirds, respectively, of the new
development component of traffic growth. Background or through traffic growth
would account for the remainder of the 2027 traffic, and was estimated based on
compound growth rates of one and three per cent per year for alternative
forecast scenarios.
C) The signalized intersection of County Roads 22/93 was found to operate at
acceptable levels of service for each of the alternative traffic forecasts with the
existing lane arrangements. In the future, signal timings and left turn lane
storage requirements would have to be reviewed and modified if necessary to
accommodate traffic increases.
d) A basic two lane cross section on both County Roads 22 and 93 would be
sufficient to accommodate each of the alternative traffic forecasts. Auxiliary turn
lanes and other intersection improvements (e.g., additional traffic signals) should
be provided as determined through subsequent traffic impact studies for
proposed residential or commercial developments. The potential for road
widenings to accommodate individual turning lanes, a centre two-way left turn
lane, an additional through lane, or other facilities (e.g., bike lanes/paths,
pedestrian facilities, etc.) should be protected for by acquiring property (through
the development review process) to increase the road right-of-way where
required. This applies to both County Roads 22 and 93, but primarily to County
Road 22 where the higher traffic demands are expected.
e) Three strategies have been developed to address the safety and delay concerns
at the at-grade County Road 22/CP rail line crossing. The strategies include

Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
managing and mitigating the effects of the existing train operations, managing
traffic queues, and consideration of the need for a grade separation in the future.
The implementation of the various strategies is subject to monitoring traffic and
development conditions, determining the physical feasibility of a grade
separation, and possibly identifying property requirements and funding
mechanisms to protect and provide for a future grade separation. With lower
traffic volumes on County Road 93 at its crossing of the same CP rail line, it is
seen that the existing rail protection system (flashing lights, bells, and gates)
along with efforts by CP to minimize the duration of blockages are sufficient for
the horizon year considered in this Study.

Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
Disadvantages
• High capital cost because of deeper drilling
This alternative involves installation of two new wells in the lower sand and gravel
aquifer in addition to the existing wells at Craighurst Estates. The lower aquifer is
regionally extensive with an estimated area of more than 1000 ha and potential long
term safe yield of 450,000 m3/yr with a potential of serving 2,740 persons per day @450
Ipcd. This capacity translates to servicing of 913 residential units @ 3 persons per unit,
exceeding the 825 equivalent units required. However, long term 72 hours pump tests
would be required to confirm the potential well production before actual construction.
Wells would need to supply sufficient water to meet maximum day demand.
Moreover the fact that most existing individual wells are completed in the upper sand
and gravel aquifer, the possibility of interference and contamination of lower sand
aquifer is minimal. Thus the lower aquifer offers higher level of security both in terms of
quality as well as quantity. The overall water supply system to support the secondary
plan area would consist of - Water supply facilities, Storage and Water distribution
network.
Water supply facilities
The well water supply facilities would consist of:
• Wells and pumps
• Pump controls, alarms, etc.
• Chlorine Disinfection system
• Oversized piping for chlorine contact upstream of the first water user;
• On-line Chlorine Residual analyzer and sample ports;
• Diesel or Natural Gas Standby Generator for the system capable of maximum
well house power requirements;
• Alarming system connected to existing wireless communication system.
• Treatment for sand, turbidity filters and mineral treatment may be required
depending on water condition.
Storage
Craighurst Estates Water system has current storage capacity of 112 m3 provided by a
below grade reservoir. Installation of new well system for the secondary plan area would
require construction of new storage facility. Water storage is required for disinfection,
contact time, equalization, fire protection and emergency uses.
MOE guidelines require 25% maximum day equalization storage, fire protection for two
hours at 110 Usec, and 25% of the total storage for emergency at the existing storage.
Total storage required for the Secondary Plan area would be:
Fire - 110 Usec for two hours: 792 m3
Equalization - 2,768 M3 /d x 25%: 692 m3
Emergency - @ 25%: 371 m3
Total Storage: 1,855m3

5.3 Water Storage
5.3.1 Alternative No. 1 - Do Nothing:
Action Required.
• None
Advantages
• No additional construction required.
Disadvantages
• Does not address the problem statement.
The Do Nothing alternative is not viable since the existing storage of 112 m3 would be
inadequate to provide for disinfection contact time, equalization and fire protection
demand to effectively serve Craighurst secondary development area.
5.3.2 Alternative No. 2 - Provide Local Underground Storage:
Action Required:
• Construction of storage tanks at the new well sites
• Connection of new storage tanks to the new well systems and to the well system
at Craighurst estates.
Advantages
• More reliable water supply because of multiple storage locations.
• Phasing of construction of storage tanks is possible
Disadvantages
• Requirement of Booster pump facilities at multiple locations
This option will provide local underground storage at each of the two new well sites.
Water supply from more than one storage source has higher reliability.
Local underground pumped storage consists of a concrete storage reservoir normally
constructed underground, booster pumps for peak hour flows, hydropneumatic tanks for
instantaneous flows, a disinfection system, a fire flow pump and a standby power
generator.
Smaller facilities typically require more pronounced peak flows. Fire protection needs
are not correlated to the size of the service area but are based on suppression needs for
a single fire regardless of service area. For predominantly residential development fire
flows from fire hydrants are expected to be at least 38 L/sec.
The Craighurst Estates water system has about 112 m3 of storage, pumped to the
distribution system. A natural gas generator and fire pump provide 16.6 L/sec fire
protection (219 gpm). Since this storage and fire flow are currently insufficient for
Craighurst Estates, additional storage and fire flow capacity will significantly benefit the
Craighurst Estates residents.
MOE requirements for 110 L/sec reflect fire protection needs for larger non-residential
buildings and multi-residential buildings expected in Communities over 2,000 people. To
provide fire protection to meet MOE guidelines for the Secondary Plan it is proposed

Net Storage Required:
896 m3
An underground reservoir 16 m x 16 m x 3.7 m will accommodate the Phase 1 storage
requirements in conjunction with Craighurst Estates. Craighurst Estates fire protection
and pressure problems will be improved as well when the Phase 1 water system comes
on line.

25% Emergency:
155 m3
Total Required:
774 m3
An underground reservoir 15 m x 15 m x 3.7 will accommodate the Phase 2 storage
requirements.
The total storage is 1,780 m3 versus 1,855 m3 to provide wells for the total aquifer
recharge ability. Consequently, 4% more storage should be provided at each Well site
(Phase 1 and Phase 2).
Phase 1- 935 m3
Phase 2 - 808 m3
5.3.3 Alternative No. 3 - Provide Central Underground Storage:
Action Required.
• Construction of a central storage tank in Craighurst secondary plan area.
• Connection of new storage tank to the new well systems and to the well system
at Craighurst estates.
Advantages
• Less capital cost than construction of multiple storage tanks.
• Requirement of only one booster pump station
Page 247 of 295
Agenda Item # 18k) - Being a By-law to Adopt Amendment No. 27 to the Official Pla...
Township of Oro-Medonte 46
Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
Disadvantages
• Less reliable water supply because of single storage location.
This type of storage requires a booster pumping station to meet pressure needs similar
to local underground pumped storage.
Operation for this storage option will see disinfected well water pumped directly to the
underground central storage facility. Disinfected water will be booster pumped to the
distribution system to meet fire, peak hour and instantaneous peak flows.
5.3.4 Alternative No. 4 - Provide Central Above Grade Storage:
Action Required.
• Construction of a central above grade storage tank in Craighurst secondary plan
area.
• Connection of new storage tank to the new well systems and to the well system
at Craighurst estates.
Advantages
• Potential for lower capital cost than construction of multiple or below ground
storage tanks.
• Requirement of only one booster pump station.
• Capability for low cost expansion by increasing height of the tank.
Disadvantages
• Less reliable water supply because of single storage location.
• Initial cost may be higher than an underground tank
• Ocular pollution
This type of storage requires a booster pumping station to meet pressure needs similar
to central underground pumped storage.
Operation for this storage option will see disinfected well water pumped directly to the
above ground central storage facility. Disinfected water will be booster pumped to the
distribution system to meet fire, peak hour and instantaneous peak flows.
5.3.5 Alternative No. 5 - Provide Central Elevated Storage:
Action Required.
• Construction of an elevated central storage tank in Craighurst secondary plan
area.
• Connection of new storage tank to the new well systems and to the well system
at Craighurst estates.
Advantages
• No booster pumping required
• Better balancing of pressure in the water distribution system
• No requirement of booster pump station
• Lowest operating cost amongst all storage options
Disadvantages
• Highest capital cost amongst all the options.
• Aesthetically the most visible option

5.4.3 Alternative No. 3 - Provide small bore sewers:
Action Required.
• Provision of individual septic tanks for all residential and non residential units in the
Craighurst secondary plan.
• Installation of small bore gravity sewers along with the required sewer
appurtenances
Advantages
• Smaller excavation because of gentler slope requirements
• Low capital cost because of reduced excavation and small diameter sewers
• Reduced load on wastewater treatment plants
• Reduced infiltration of groundwater
• Low operational cost
Disadvantages
• Requirement of individual interceptor/septic tanks for all residential and non
residential units.
• System incapable of carrying any gross solids.
• Frequent monitoring and pumping of the septic tanks.
• Higher maintenance cost than conventional gravity sewer system.
• Additional cost because of requirement of a sewage pumping station.
5.4.4 Alternative No. 4 - Provide pressure sewers:
Page 250 of 295
Agenda Item # 18k) - Being a By-law to Adopt Amendment No. 27 to the Official Pla...
Township of Oro-Medonte 49
Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
Action Required.
• Provision of individual septic tanks for all residential and non residential units in the
Craighurst secondary plan.
• Provision of septic tank effluent pumps and small bore sewers pipes.
Advantages
• Flexibility in sewer network layout because of independence strict alignment and
slope restrictions as in gravity sewers
• Relatively small cost without damage to existing structures.
• Significantly lower material and trenching costs because of reduced pipe size and
depth requirements.
• Reduced infiltration of groundwater
• Reduced organic load on wastewater treatment plant
• Low operational cost
Disadvantages
• Frequent blockages and maintenance problems
• High operation and maintenance cost.
• Higher life cycle replacement costs because lower life expectancy than conventional
systems.
• Potential odors and corrosion problems because of usually septic condition of
wastewater in the collection sewers.
5.5 Sewage Treatment and Disposal
5.5.1 Alternative No. 1 - Do Nothing:
Action Required.
• None
Advantages
• No additional construction or installation required.
Disadvantages
• Does not address the problem statement.
The Do Nothing alternative is not viable since implementation of the secondary
development plan is contingent upon adequate sewage disposal facility.
5.5.2 Alternative No. 2 - Subsurface disposal using individual septic systems
Action Required.
• Install individual on-site tile bed sewage treatment systems for subsurface disposal
Advantages
• Decentralized easy to manage small sewage treatment systems
• No centralized sewage collection system required
Disadvantages
• Insufficient treatment and potential contamination of potable groundwater aquifer.
• Substantially reduced development density within the Secondary Plan area.
This alternative would involve construction of individual on-site tile bed sewage
treatment systems for subsurface disposal. An individual treatment system would
Page 251 of 295
Agenda Item # 18k) - Being a By-law to Adopt Amendment No. 27 to the Official Pla...
Township of Oro-Medonte 50
Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
consist of septic tank followed by a tile bed for treatment/infiltration of the settled effluent
into the ground.
Applicability of these systems would be based on reasonable land use criteria
recommended by MOE with regards to Nitrate concentration in groundwater adjacent to
the effluent disposal site. Groundwater flow adjacent to wetland areas west and north of
the Study Area has an upward hydraulic gradient. This presents a hydraulic boundary to
effluent plume dispersion in groundwater, and is therefore, the limit of application of
MOE Policy B- 7 of reasonable use. This changes the criteria used to establish level of
impact. In effect, the only constraint to subsurface sewage disposal becomes the ability
of the soils adjacent to the wetland to accept the hydraulic loads, and the potential
impact subsurface discharge will have with respect to stream water quality.
5.5.3 Alternative No. 3 - Subsurface disposal using communal Sewage treatment plant
Action Required.
• Installation of sanitary sewer system
• Construction and installation of a new communal sewage treatment plant.
Advantages
• Low capital cost because of simplicity of system
Disadvantages
• Potentially insufficient sewage treatment to meet subsurface disposal standards
This alternative would require construction of a sanitary sewer system and a communal
Sewage treatment plant for subsurface disposal of treated effluent. There are several
treatment processes including but not limited to the following three options that could
potentially be used for sewage treatment for subsurface disposal.
• Peat/biofilters
• Recirculation sand filters
• Large communal tile beds
Disposal
So far as subsurface disposal of treated affluent from any of these treatment systems is
concerned, there are two possible scenarios based on whether or not the effluent plume
is hydraulically isolated from the drinking groundwater aquifer. Given below is a brief
description of disposal criteria for both scenarios.
Subsurface Disposal without hydraulic isolation
MOE Policy B-7 (Reasonable Use) is applied to measure the impact of development
proposals supported by subsurface sewage systems serving five or more residential
units, or large subsurface sewage disposal systems that discharge more than 10,000
L/d effluent. The Policy is applied where it cannot be demonstrated that the effluent
plume is hydraulically isolated from sources of groundwater supply.
Nitrate (N), which is converted from ammonia (NH4) found in domestic sewage, is used
to measure groundwater impact potential.
Page 252 of 295
Agenda Item # 18k) - Being a By-law to Adopt Amendment No. 27 to the Official Pla...
Township of Oro-Medonte 51
Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
The Reasonable Use calculation for nitrate, taking into consideration a natural
background nitrate concentration of 0.4 mg/L, is as follows:
Cm = Cb + X(Cr - Cb), where
Cb = natural background concentration in upper sand aquifer (see Table 7)
Cr = Ontario Drinking Water Objective = 10.0 mg/L-N
x = ratio for health parameters to ensure negligible effect on groundwater use = 0.25
Cm = maximum acceptable concentration beneath adjacent property
Cm = 0.4 mg/L + 0.25(10 mg/L - 0.4 mg/L) = 2.8 mg/L
The concentration of nitrate in groundwater that can be permitted at the down gradient
property boundary is:
CW = Cm - Cb = 2.8 mg/L - 0.4 mg/L = 2.4 mg/L (N)
Guidelines suggest using a nitrate (N) concentration in septic tank effluent of 40 mg/L-
N, and an average daily flow rate of 1,000 L/day, when evaluating the impact on
groundwater by sewage produced by a single family dwelling.
When nitrate attenuation is assessed, only that which occurs by dilution is considered.
The amount of water available for dilution is equal to the annual infiltration rate of 250
mm.
In applying Policy B-7, the density of development permitted on subsurface sewage
disposal (without regard to hydraulic performance capabilities) is estimated as follows:
= effluent concentration
available dilution
or Cam, = Ce(#units)(1000L/d/unit)(365d/yr)
[250mm/yr/ha + units(1,000L/d/unit)](365d/yr)
which is simplified to,
C,, = concentration of nitrate permitted = 2.4 mg/L
Ce =concentration of nitrate in effluent
(varies depending on level of treatment)
Table 5.1 below establishes the density of development (residential units per hectare at
3 persons/unit) assuming a municipal sewage system with subsurface disposal, and the
effluent plume not isolated from a groundwater supply aquifer.

(1) The total number of units will also be a function of the total area available for attenuation by
dilution (catchment area). The land area dedicated for attenuation could conceivably include the
settlement area of Craighurst, and areas outside the designated settlement area.
As seen, the number of units permitted per hectare varies with the level of treatment
provided.
Subsurface Disposal -Communal System with Hydraulic Isolation
In the case that the demonstrated effluent plume is hydraulically isolated from potential
supply aquifers, then Policy B-7 is satisfied. This situation typically occurs where there is
a hydraulic boundary to groundwater flow immediately downgradient of the location of
subsurface sewage disposal. The background information collected to date suggests
the wetlands west and north of the Study Area present a hydraulic boundary to
groundwater flow. Further, there is an upward hydraulic gradient in the direction of
groundwater flow adjacent to the wetlands. It may be possible to demonstrate that the
effluent plume discharge from a communal sewage system utilizing subsurface disposal
is hydraulically isolated from groundwater supply aquifers if the distribution area is
located on Concession 1 WPR somewhere between Lots 41 and 46, or on Lot 44,
Concession 1 EPR.
Should this situation exist, then the discharge of the final effluent via the subsurface will
occur to the adjacent wetlands and eventually to Matheson Creek.
Tertiary treatment of effluent would occur naturally by:
1. Filtering effluent through the overburden soils.
2. Uptake by wetland vegetation at the point of effluent discharge to surface.
Under the Water Resources Act, the Ministry of Environment applies Policies 1 and 2 of
the Provincial Water Quality Objectives as they relate to surface water quality
degradation resulting from the discharge of effluent. It must be demonstrated through an
analysis of the assimilative capacity of the receiving watercourse, that these policies are
met.
Policy 1 states that where upstream surface water quality is below the PWQO
concentration, water quality cannot be degraded to worse than the PWQO concentration
at the downstream compliance limit.

Agenda Item # 18k) - Being a By-law to Adopt Amendment No. 27 to the Official Pla...
Township of Oro-Medonte 53
Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
Policy 2 states that where upstream surface water quality is equal to or above the
PWQO concentration, it cannot be degraded further at the downstream compliance
limit.)
In the case of surface water discharge - whether directly or via subsurface flow -
phosphorous replaces nitrate as the parameter of concern within sewage effluent. The
PWQO for total phosphorous is 0.03 mg/L. For impact assessment, a concentration of
15 mg/L (P) phosphorous in sewage effluent is used. Phosphorous attenuation occurs
naturally in the soil, and by dilution. Sewage treatment systems are also capable of
reducing the concentration of phosphorous.
The natural retention capacity of the native soil media beneath the subsurface
distribution system, and between the distribution system and the point of discharge to
the surface must be measured to determine the attenuation capacity of the soil.
In all likelihood, the size of development which could be supported by a communal
sewage system utilizing subsurface disposal located in the hydrologic setting described
will be dictated by the hydraulic capabilities of the overburden that must accept sewage
flows rather than phosphorous attenuation.
5.5.4 Alternative No. 4-Subsurface/Surface disposal using conventional wastewater
treatment:
Action Required;
• Installation of sanitary sewer system
• Construction and installation of a new communal sewage treatment plant.
Advantages
• Potentially adequate treatment for subsurface disposal
Disadvantages
• High capital cost and operational and maintenance cost
This alternative would require construction of a sanitary sewer system and a
conventional sewage treatment plant for subsurface or surface disposal of treated
effluent. There are several treatment processes including but not limited to the following
three options that could potentially be used for sewage treatment for subsurface or
surface disposal of treated effluent.
• Activated sludge process with denitrification
• Sequential batch reactors (SBR) with denitrification
• Rotating Biological Contactors (RBC) with denitrification
The criteria for the provision of a communal sanitary sewer system are already
explained in the section 3.2.4.4 - Alternative 4.

Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
The disposal treated effluent in this option could be either surface or subsurface. Given
below is a brief description of both alternatives.
Subsurface disposal
As previously discussed there are two possible subsurface disposal scenarios based on
whether or not the effluent plume is hydraulically isolated from the drinking groundwater
aquifer.
Subsurface disposal without hydraulic isolation
Based on effluent nitrate concentration, Ce of 3 mg/L from one of the above mentioned
systems and the maximum permitted concentration of nitrates, Cw as 2.4 mg/L, the
density of development permitted on subsurface sewage disposal is 6.3 units/ha, if only
the Secondary Plan Study Area is used in the dilution calculation (See section 3.2.2.3).
This means that a conventional wastewater treatment system with subsurface disposal
is capable of supporting a population of up to 780 units, or 2,340 people.
Subsurface disposal with hydraulic isolation
If it is possible to demonstrate that the effluent plume discharge from a communal
sewage system utilizing subsurface disposal is hydraulically isolated from groundwater
supply aquifers then the discharge of sewage via the subsurface will occur to the
adjacent wetlands and eventually to Matheson Creek.
Tertiary treatment of effluent would occur naturally by filtering effluent through the
overburden soils and uptake by wetland vegetation at the point of effluent discharge to
surface
In this case, as the effluent is ultimately disposed into a watercourse, phosphorous
replaces nitrate as the parameter of concern within sewage effluent. The PWQO for
total phosphorous is 0.03 mg/L. Since the conventional sewage treatment systems
remove phosphorus biologically as well as chemically, a concentration of 2 mg/L (P)
phosphorous in sewage effluent is typically used for impact assessment. Phosphorous
attenuation occurs naturally in the soil, and by dilution.
The natural retention capacity of the native soil media beneath the subsurface
distribution system, and between the distribution system and the point of discharge to
the surface must be measured to determine the attenuation capacity of the soil.
In all likelihood, the size of development which could be supported by a communal
sewage treatment system utilizing subsurface disposal located in the hydrologic setting
described will be dictated by the hydraulic capabilities of the overburden that must
accept sewage flows rather than phosphorous attenuation
Surface disposal

Township of Oro-Medonte 55
Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
The capacity of Matheson Creek, or Craig's Swamp, to receive sewage can be
established by applying PWQO Policy I with respect to total phosphorous.
PWQO Policy 1 permits degradation in surface water quality with respect to
phosphorous to 0.02 mg/L. The background concentration of total phosphorous in
Matheson Creek at Craig's Swamp was measured in April, 2000 to be less than the
laboratory detection limit of 0.01 mg/L. Therefore, an increase in phosphorous
concentration of 0.02 mg/L would satisfy PWQO Policy.
Using a stream flow of 150 L/s (approximate springtime flow of Matheson Creek at
Highway 400), and an allowable surface water phosphorous concentration of 0.02 mg/L,
the equivalent daily allowable loading of phosphorous would be 259,200 mg/d.
Assuming a source phosphorus concentration of 15 mg/L and a daily flow of 1,000 L per
dwelling, daily phosphorus loading per dwelling is 15,000 mg/d. The number of units
that could be supported with a treatment facility capable getting effluent phosphorous to
2 mg/L, and a receiving stream flow of 150 L/s, would support approximately 130 single
family residential units. A biological membrane plant with 98% removal to discharge a
maximum of 0.3 mg/L phosphorous results in 864 residential units served.
The capacity of Matheson Creek, or Craig's Swamp, to receive sewage is limited by the
application of PWQO Policy I with respect to phosphorous. The above calculated
allowable surface water concentration and resulting phosphorous loading, and resultant
number of residential units was based on an approximate stream flow. Lower flow in the
stream may require lower phosphorous discharge limits, either through a reduced
number of units or a sewage treatment process with demonstrated phosphorus removal
to below 0.3 mg/L.
The Assimilative Capacity Study (2006) identified the Matheson Creek, and
consequently the Willow Creek subwatershed as unimpaired and also the water
currently meets PWQO. Therefore, any new effluent discharge would be restricted to
maintain the unimpaired level of water quality within the receiving watercourse.
5.5.5 Alternative No. 5 -Surface disposal using advanced wastewater treatment
Action Required.
• Installation of sanitary sewer system
• Construction and installation of a new communal sewage treatment plant.
Advantages
• Potentially adequate treatment for surface disposal
Disadvantages
• High capital cost and operational and maintenance cost
This alternative would require construction of a sanitary sewer system and membrane
bioreactors based advanced sewage treatment plant for surface disposal of treated
effluent.
The applicability of this option would be guided by the impact of treated effluent on
phosphorus concentration in receiving watercourse, and the provincial water quality
objective of a maximum phosphorus concentration of 0.02 mg/L in surfacewater.

Assuming a source concentration of 15 mg/L (P) and a daily flow of 1,000 L per
dwelling, or a daily loading of 15,000 mg/d (P) per dwelling, the number of residential
units that could be supported with a typical biological membrane plant is 864. The plant
would be required to provide 98% phosphorus removal and a maximum effluent P
concentration of 0.3 mg/L,
The capacity of Matheson Creek, or Craig's Swamp, to receive sewage is limited by the
application of PWQO Policy I with respect to total phosphorous. The Assimilative
Capacity Study (2006) identified the Matheson Creek, and consequently the Willow
Creek subwatershed as unimpaired, and the water also meets PWQO. Therefore, any
discharge from a treatment plant would have to be limited to maintain these criteria
within the creek and subwatershed.
5.6 Stormwater Management
5.6.1 Alternative No. 1 - Do Nothing
Action Required.
• None
Advantages
• No additional measures required.
Disadvantages
• Does not address the problem statement.
The Do Nothing alternative is not viable since implementation of the secondary
development plan is contingent upon adequate stormwater management.
5.6.2 Alternative No. 2 - Follow best management practice
Action Required.
• Take all possible measures to minimize run off and provide infiltration swales,
ditches and perforated storm pipes.
Advantages
• Effective management of stormwater post secondary development ensuring
increased infiltration, reduced post-development peak flow and erosion, and
enhanced water quality.
• Lower capital cost than storm water management facilities
Disadvantages
• Inadequate storage of stormwater leading to potentially insufficient recharge of
groundwater.
Best management practice for stormwater management involves taking measures that
increase infiltration, reduce post-development peak flow and erosion, and enhance
water quality. Given below is a brief description of the measures to be taken for best
management of stormwater.
5.6.2.1 Source and Conveyance Controls
Promotion of Infiltration measures to achieve sufficient pre-treatment of stormwater
runoff. For example, roof leaders should discharge to pervious grassed areas or
Page 258 of 295
Agenda Item # 18k) - Being a By-law to Adopt Amendment No. 27 to the Official Pla...
Township of Oro-Medonte 57
Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
soak away pits. No direct connection of roof leaders to the storm sewer system
shall be permitted.
• Provision of grassed swales in place of curb and gutter along road within
depressions.
• Reduced lot grading to minimize runoff and allow stormwater ponding for natural
infiltration.
• Sump pumping of foundation drains to rear yard ponding areas.
• Utilization of vegetated buffer strips where practical especially alongside roadways
in the vicinity of stream crossings to protect the watercourse.
• Storm sewers where required off paved roadways should be geotextile wrapped
perforated pipe with granular backfill.
• Minimization of use of curb, gutter and storm sewer to encourage infiltration of
stormwater as per Best Management Practices.
• Provision of wet extended detention ponds with infiltration basins for frequent
runoff events (i.e. <5 yr storm).
• Provision of detention storage ponds for infrequent rainfall events (2 - 100 years
storm pre/post control).
5.6.2.2 Post Development Stormwater Management
Post development peak flows for the Planning Area should be controlled to the pre-
development levels or less for all storms up to and including the 100 year rainfall event.
SWMHYMO, a computer stormwater management hydrologic model, was utilized to
compute the peak runoff flows for the six existing drainage basin areas.
Table 5.2 provides a summary of the 2, 5, 25, and 100 year SCS 24 hour design storm
and Regional Storm (Timmins Storm) event peak flows.
Post development peak flows are to be modeled in detail at the functional servicing plan
stages, or when the development density is clearly identified.

Township of Oro-Medonte 58
Craighurst Secondary Development Plan
Environmental Study Report
In order to prevent the migration of silt downstream, it is important that sediment and
erosion control strategy plans be prepared prior to constructions. The following are
some of sediment and erosion measures which should be considered for
implementation:
• Provide detailed construction work plan and staging schedule
• Install site access pad
• Construct rock check dams
• Divert runoff from exposed areas
• Construct silt fencing
• Stabilize exposed areas with topsoil and seed immediately after construction
• Regularly inspect erosion and sediment control and restore works where required
• Based on NVCA Technical Standards for Stormwater Management, during the
grading and construction phases, temporary stormwater sediment ponds or traps
must be constructed, maintained and operated throughout the construction period.
Temporary stormwater sediment ponds should be sized to detain the runoff from a
25 year 6 hour duration rainfall event by using average intensity, with a permanent
pool of 0.6 meter in depth. All other temporary sediment control techniques should
be designed to withstand the runoff from a 25 year 6 hour duration rainfall event by
using peak intensity.
5.6.3 Alternative No. 3 - Provide stormwater management facilities
Action Required.
• Provide stormwater management facilities including - stormwater management
ponds, curbs, gutters, sewers, manholes catch basins etc.
Advantages
• Sufficient storage for effective infiltration of stormwater and recharge of
groundwater.
• Higher level of reliability against peak rainfall and storm events.
Disadvantages
• Higher capital costs in comparison to best management practice option
Each pond shall provide "enhanced" or Level 1 quality protection per Table 3.2 of the
"Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual" (MOE, 2003). Permanent pool
storage volumes are to be based on impervious ratio and drainage area.
Table 5.3 summarizes the storage volumes for each drainage basin pond. The volumes
are preliminary, actual volumes should be obtained through detailed hydrologic model
undertaken at the functional servicing plan, or detailed design stages.

4. Active storage volumes are calculated based on Orillia OF SCS 100 year storm event having a 24 hour rainfall
volume of 120.68 mm, and that the volume of runoff retained in active storage is 80% of total 100 year storm
rainfall.
The active storages shall include extended detention storage for erosion control, and
quantity control storage for each design storm (2 to 100 year).
An infiltration basin or dry pond shall serve the drainage area "H", because the area
shall be too small to sustain a wet pond. NVCA "Wet Pond Criteria Check" indicates that
a minimum drainage area of five hectares is required for a wet pond.
The two existing ponds should continue to serve the drainage area "D".
There shall be no new development in area "E"; consequently, no new pond shall be
required. On-site controls are being used for the existing development in this area.
Another option for area "A" and "B" is that combining Pond A and Pond B together to
make a bigger pond in area "A". In this case, the existing culvert shall be upgraded to
meet the new capacity.
The preferred location of stormwater management ponds, and corresponding catchment
areas, within the Secondary Planning Area are shown on Drawing 3.3.
Pond sites were selected based on the following criteria:
• Locations that would facilitate inter-basin drainage where feasible.
• Upstream of existing drainage culverts crossing Hwy 93 and the CPR thus avoiding
expensive culvert enlargements.

• At the most downstream location within the Secondary Plan Area.
• Locations that also capture drainage from existing lots in addition to new
development.
5.6.3.1 SWMF design criteria
Based on NVCA "Wet Pond Criteria Check", stormwater management pond design
standards would include the following:
Sediment Forebay:
Minimum length to width ratio of 2:1 if single inlet
Minimum depth of 1.0 meter
Minimum area of 1/3 total pond surface area
Wet Pond:
- Minimum length to width ratio of 3:1, 4:1 to 5:1 preferred
- Maximum side slope of 3:1
Permanent Pool:
Average depth of 1 to 2 meters
- Maximum depth of less than 3 meters
Maximum grade of 5:1, 7:1 preferred
Storage Depth:
- <1.5 m for quality/erosion control, 1.0 m preferred
- <2.0 meters for active storage
Major Flow Outlet:
- Regulatory Storm (Timmins Storm) capacity
- Erosion protection for all design storms
- 0.3 meter minimum freeboard
Maintenance access
Apart form the above, a 30 meters setback from centerline of the watercourse should be
maintained.
5.7 Transportation
5.7.1 Alternative No. 1 - Do Nothing
Action Required:
• None
Advantages
• No additional construction or installation required.
Disadvantages
• Does not address the future post secondary development traffic growth.
The Do Nothing alternative is not viable since it does not address the traffic growth
caused by implementation of the secondary development plan.

5.7.2 Alternative No. 2 - Upgrade the road network to suit the requirement of secondary
plan
Action Required.
• Upgrade of arterial and collector roads network
Advantages
• Accommodates the post secondary development future growth.
Disadvantages
• High capital costs involved in construction/widening of roads upgrades of related
infrastructure.
Upgrades to the existing the road network system would involve implementing
recommendations of the Craighurst Secondary Plan Traffic Study, included as Appendix
B.
5.8 Potential Mitigative Measures
Disruption to Trees and Vegetation
If a new location for a pumping station is required during the detailed design stage
of the project either a site with limited tree cover or the location of structures to
minimize the impact on existing trees would be used. New watermains or
transmission watermains would be run within existing road right-of-ways which
generally have few trees. If significant trees are encountered then directional
drilling could be used to avoid cutting established root systems.
ii) Visibility of Pumping Station
Construction of a new pumping station and reservoir, either on the existing site or
in a new location, would take into account neighbouring architecture. Architectural
and landscaping details can be used to minimize the ocular impact of above grade
structures. Location and construction of a facility will also take into account natural
vegetative and topographical features to minimize visibility
iii) Noise and Dust
All construction activities will temporarily generate noise and dust. The effect of
dust can be minimized during construction by spreading calcium chloride and
water on exposed dry granular bases.
Construction activities would generally be limited to normal weekday working hours
minimizing the impact of noise on residents.
iv) Disruption of Utilities
All stakes-outs are to be arranged and hand digging techniques are to be
employed when constructing services over or under existing utilities to minimize
the potential disruption of utilities during construction. Construction may require
utility relocations.

5. SECURITY
Prior to signing the Agreement, the Owner will deposit, with the Treasurer of the Township, to cover
the faithful performance of the obligations of the Owner arising under this Agreement, including but
not limited to the construction of the works and services identified in Schedule "D" to this
Agreement (the "said Work"), the following securities:
a) Cash in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the estimated cost of the said work,
as approved by the Township Engineer and Township Council, or:
b) An irrevocable Letter of Credit from a chartered bank, issued in accordance with the
requirements of Schedule "E", with an automatic renewal clause in the amount of one
hundred percent (100%) of the estimated costs of the said works, and as approved by the
Township Engineer. The Letter of Credit shall be for a minimum guaranteed period of one
(1) year, or such time as the Township decides, and shall be renewed automatically, as
necessary, thirty (30) days prior to expiration.
c) The Township reserves the right to accept or reject any of these alternative methods of
providing securities. Prior to depositing the securities, the Owner's Engineer shall submit an
estimate of the cost of the works to the Township Engineer for approval. When the cost
estimate has been approved, it will be set out in Schedule "D" of this Agreement and will
become the basis for the limits of the securities.
d) Any Letter of Credit or security filed with the Township is based upon the estimated cost of
completing the various matters prescribed by this Agreement. However, all Letters of Credit
and security received by the Township may be used as security for any item or any other
