Dear Ms Pennycook:
Re: Zoning By-Law Amendment Decision
North Part Lot 15, Concession 9, Settlement of Moonstone
On December 12, 2002, the Committee of Adjustment of the Township of
Oro-Medonte granted Provisional Consent to create nine new lots as per
applications B18/02 and B19/02, One of the conditions of Provisional
Consent was that the lands be appropriately zoned from Agricultural Rural
Exception Fifteen (AlRU*15) Zone to Residential One - Hold (R1-H)
Zone 1, The applicant agreed to these conditions and has acted in good
faith throughout the process which has involved a series of approvals at
the County and Township levels. Nonetheless, at the Oro-Medonte
Council Meeting held on July 31,2003, Council decided not to recommend
that a By-Law to rezone this property be passed,
We appreciate the opportunity to address a number of concerns which
were raised at that Council meeting. Most of these concerns focused on
the efficient use of the land, particularly because this parcel is within the
Moonstone Settlement Area.
From a planning point of view, there are two broad perspectives. One is
indeed the substantive aspect which is how we have focused our report -
the constraints and opportunities for development of the property,
However, as we have mentioned briefly above, the applicant has sought
and acquired all of the approvals required up to this point and has made
changes to the development design based on recommendations from
various agencies, including Township staff. Hydrological, soil,
environmental impact studies have been commissioned and
recommendations followed. This compliance with due process is not an
inconsiderable matter, However, we believe that there have also been
some misunderstandings, likely due to the length of time which has
1 The Holding Provision applying to the property involves a number of conditions relating
to the extension of the water system, providing additional storage in the municipal water
supply system and the timing of the issuance of building permits,

elapsed since the applicant, Ms. Thatcher, began to seek to develop this
property, changes to Council and also changes to Township staff, It is on
these matters of development constraints and opportunities that we will
focus ou r report,
Three possible ways to develop this site are:
. the first, a 1998 Plan of Subdivision which was later reconsidered by
the applicant;
. the second, an Alternative Plan of Subdivision which we drew up in
an attempt to develop the property given the constraints identified
regarding the 1998 Plan; and
. finally, Severance by Consent, approved by the Committee of
Adjustment in December,2002,
Finally, we will briefly discuss this proposal from a policy perspective.
1) 1998 Plan of Subdivision
The draft plan of Proposed Subdivision submitted in 1998, is shown in
Figure 1 - 1998 Plan of Subdivision. It shows 15 lots with a cul-de-sac
terminating in the lower part of the property, Upon further consideration,
the applicant decided that this plan is unfeasible in terms of environmental,
engineering, and economic considerations. We will outline these
considerations below and will explain why the applicant chose to pursue a
severance instead.
The central problem with this plan is that it ignores the topography of the
property, A steep slope begins at about the halfway point of the property
and creates major engineering problems for development described
below,
. Stormwater must be conveyed back out to the County Road, It
cannot run up-hill. Please refer to Figure 2 - Section Profiles,
. Even if there were not a problem with the stormwater, the grade of
the slope (16%) is prohibitive in terms of building the street which
reaches the southernmost part of the property, There are serious
safety issues, especially in the winter months, The centre profile on
Figure 2 illustrates the slope of the land on which the street is
proposed,
2) Plan of Subdivision Alternative
We have created a Plan of Subdivision Alternative (Figure 3) in an attempt
to work with the natural contours of the land and to respect the
environmental protection area at the bottom of the steep bank. However,
in this Alternative, we have managed to fit only 11 lots into the
developable land.

Development Constraints
Lot Size
. The Township By-law requires a lot size of .2 hectares if it is to be
serviced by a septic system, (In the Alternative, the smallest lot is
Lot #6 which is exactly .2 hectares and the largest, Lot #8, is almost
.5 hectares.) However, because of the characteristics of this
property, lot size of at least .4 hectares is likely more feasible in
terms of siting a septic system, 30 metre minimum frontages are
also required which has restricted the number of lots we are able to
situate along the cul-de-sac,
Grade
. It is physically possible to fit two additional lots between Lot #7 and
Lot #11, However, there are two constraints to this option:
o Houses would have to be built on the top of bank, a practice
not condoned by the County for environmental reasons, if it
can be avoided,
o The slope would have to be filled in at an estimated cost of
about $100,000 in order to build on these 2 lots; a cost that
would be split by what would then be 13 lots ($7,700/lot).
Hard Surface
. In this Alternative, as in the 1997 Plan of Subdivision, the amount of
hard surface is increased because of the presence of the cul-de-
sac, This has implications for water filtration,
Soil
. Underlying the sandy top layer of soil, is clay, The higher the
number of lots that are situated on this piece of land, and the more
hard surfaces there are - for example, by including an internal
street - the more difficult drainage will be,
3) Severance by Consent
Because a Plan of Subdivision was unsound from a standpoint of
environmental, engineering and economic considerations, we decided to
submit a proposal for severance. Please refer to Figure 5 - Severance
Plan with Reduced Lot Size,
Environmental Considerations
. The severance plan was originally proposed with 9 lots that
stretched the length of the property, using the entire parcel of land
(Figure 4 - Severance Plan Prior to County Recommendations) but
the County advised that the depth of the lots be decreased to
ensure that the lower part of the property be permitted to stay in its
Suite 100 - 300 lakeshore Drive, Barrie, Ontario L4N OB4

natural condition, The owner has agreed to put a restriction on the
use of this area,
. Placing the proposed building footprints close to the front of the
properties on what is now a corn field helps to ensure the protection
of the slope and the natural successional area on it.
. The absence of an internal street reduces the arnount of hard
surface, easing soil filtration, In fact, the Environmental Impact
Study states that the residences will function as part of the existing
community of Moonstone without any direct or indirect affect of
natural heritage features or functions,
. The applicant also offered a parcel of land in the south part of the
property for parkland - a piece that would have connected the
existing adjacent parkland with the land in the south east corner
which is under environmental protection but the Township rejected
this offer in lieu of payment.
Access from the County Road
. The County of Simcoe Official Plan policy does not usually
encourage lot formations of this type with each lot having individual
driveway connections to the County Road, However, because of
the property's difficult terrain and the absence of site distance
constraints along County Road 19, the direct frontage design
reflects a practical and appropriate outcome. On this basis, the
County approved the development with individual driveway access
to the proposed residential lots from County Road 19,
Policy
Plan of Subdivision
. In the Oro-Medonte Official Plan, which we have attached, there
are five conditions whereby land division by a Plan of Subdivision is
generally preferred over consent to sever (04.3.1), In this report,
we have attempted to show how a Plan of Subdivision is not the
best practice for this piece of land given the development
constraints,
Land Division by Consent
. Section D4.3.2 (attached) of the Official Plan describes the
conditions under which new lots are considered for severance by
consent. We adhere to these conditions.

In closing, we stress that
. There are several constraints to develop this property in the way it
might originally have been thought possible,
. We have followed the advice of Township officials who supported
the course of action followed by the applicant.
. We do not offend Official Plan Policy,
. The County has approved individual driveway access to the County
Road,
. The Township does not forfeit any authority over the control of
development. A severance can include the same conditions of
approvals as a Plan of Subdivision and in this regard, these
conditions have been applied,
. The applicant has followed the process as set out in the Planning
Act, has kept her word at every turn and has every intention of
meeting all of the conditions of the Holding Provision as set out by
the Committee of Adjustment and by the Planning Advisory
Committee,
We ask that Council reconsider its decision of July 31, 2003 and
recommend instead that a By-Law be adopted pursuant to Section 34 of
the Planning Act which implements provisional consent. To do so would
demonstrate good faith and best practice, given the physical limitations of
the property in question,
Thank you, on behalf of Ms. Thatcher, for your consideration of this
matter.

Attn: Marilyn Pennycook
Subject: Oro-Medonte/NVCA Member Representation
The NVCA is looking forward to the provision of Full Conservation
Authority Services in north Oro-Medonte effective September 1,
2003.
The members of the NVCA were very impressed that all of your
Council and 3 senior staff attended the June 13Th meeting to ratify
the expansion of NVCA services to the northern portion of your
Municipality.
Regarding membership on the Authority I have included copies of
section 14 and 2(2) from the Conservation Authorities Act.
Your membership entitlement is based on your total population
(17969) pro-rated against the portion of your Municipality within the
NVCA area of jurisdiction. Currently this is approximately (17%)
going to approximately 70% in September 1, 2003. This would give
your Municipality a current population estimate of 3054 people
within the NVCA watershed, equal to 1 representative on the NVCA
as per section 2(2), and as of September 1 a population estimate of
12578, giving you up to two representatives on the NVCA Board of
Directors. (Full Authority)
Building Partnerships With Our Community for a Healthy Watershed
~d-~
I have enclosed our NVCA member meeting schedule. You will note that our
next Full Authority meeting is August 8Th, 2003.
If you decide to appoint a second member to the NVCA prior to the August 8th
meeting, the Authority would be pleased to welcome Oro-Medonte's newest
NVCA member at the August 8Th meeting as a guest.
Your Municipal levy for the area of NVCA service enlargement is $16,666, which
is due in September. I will have our Manager of Accounts send you an official
invoice for this amount in due time. I have also enclosed a Sealed Signed copy
of the expansion motion for your records.
Please do not hesitate to call, for any further clarification about this matter.
Thank you again for you excellent municipal support. By working cooperatively
together, we will put the environment first.
Sincerely
Wayne R. Wilson

Dear Municipal Colleagues:
It is my pleasure to report to you that, thanks to co-operative partnerships among all levels of
government, projects that wilt see more than 163,000 Ontario households benefit from improved
drinking water are either completed or underway - with many more to come.
This is a tremendous accomplishment, and I want to extend my congratulations and thanks to the
many municipalities that have worked so hard to bring these projects to fruition.
As ~ou know, OST AR was established by the government of Ontario to help municipalities
renew, improve and expand public infrastructure. The OSTAR Infrastructure initiative is
concentrating on health-and-safety infrastructure, with particular emphasis on projects that bring
municipal water systems into compliance with the province's tough drinking water standards.
Under Option 1, our municipal partners applied for availabte funding to help them meet the
province's Drinking Water Systems Regulation.
Our government has approved 199 Option 1 applications. We have nominated these applications
to the federal government for approval under the Canada-Ontario Infrastructure Program (COIP)
and, of these, 79 have been given the green light to proceed. We will continue working with our
municipal partners to ensure that we understand their needs and we continue to encourage federal
approval of provincially nominated applications under COIP.
Enclosed is a fact sheet outlining the status of announced projects as of June 5, 2003.
I
In 2000, the government committed $460 million over five years to the OST AR Infrastructure
initiative. Of that, the province conu:nitted a minimum $240 million to help municipalities meet
requirements under the Drinking Water Systems Regulation or for other high-priority health-and-
, safety infrastructure needs.

(jur government, through this funding, is meeting its cornmitments to Ontario's municipalities.
We appreciate the efforts of our municipal partners in identifying their requirements and
following the appropriate application process.
As always, we remain dedicated to helping municipalities implement their necessary water
infrastructure upgrades, and we look forward to many more announcements of successful
apptications in the months ahead.

Dear Walt,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the commission and the management of
the Lake Simcoe airport for your support during our tenancy. I wish to congratulate you
for having the foresight and vision to support land sales at the airport which has resulted
in the development plan put forward by Pete Waters UKAN IT. As a member ofthe
aviation community in Simcoe county I believe this development will encourage rapid
growth in aviation in our region and contribute substantially in economic development in
many areas, Airports are probably the toughest place for a community to spend money
because the benefits are not readily identifiable, however, the hangars proposed by
UKAN are substantial and are tremendous boost to the airport. If this plan is
accomplished, the Lake Simcoe Airport will have some of the finest facilities in Canada.
I would also like to thank Mike Drum for his support, He played a very important role
in liason between Pete Waters and myself. , ,he kept us well informed, he assisted in
smoothing out any difficulties between UKAN,ZLIN and HYDRO ONE and there were a
few, I have owned facilities at a number of airports in Ontario over the years and have
not ever found an airport manager so helpful, so eager, knowledgeable,forthright and
open as Mike, He is a tremendous manager and a great asset at the airport. His love of
aviation and his enjoyment of his work is evident" .he is a unique and refreshing
individual in todays aviation world,
I am pleased to see development at our airport and thank all of you again for your hard
work and diligence. I look forward to becoming a tenant again in the near future,

RECOMMENDATION: THAT Staff Report No. 39-03-BOD regarding

FURTHER THAT this report be circulated to

Purpose of Staff Report:
The purpose of this Staff Report is to provide the Authority's Board of Directors with a copy
of Conservation Ontario's position paper as it relates to Source Protection Planning. .
Backqround:
On November 15th, 2002, an Advisory Committee to the Minister of the Environment was
established to provide advice and direction on a provincial framework for watershed-based .
source protection planning. The Committee was comprised of 18 members including
representation from Conservation Ontario, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario
(AMO), industry sectors (e.g" agriculture, development community), academic,
environmental groups, health and First Nations. The mandate of the Advisory Committee
was to provide advice to the Province relative to recommendations contained within the
Walkerton Public Inquiry, on:

the minimum requirements to be included in a SPP, and
the process through which SPP's should be developed.
On April 215',2003 the Advisory Committee's report entitled "Final Report of the Advisory
Committee on Watershed-Based Source Protection Planning: Protecting Ontario's Drinking
Water: Toward a Watershed-bas€d Source Protection Planning Fram€work" was posted
on the Environmental Bill of Rights Registry for public comment until June 215', 2003. The
report contains 55 recommendations on a provincial framework for watershed-based
source protection planning. It also defines a framework that addresses roles and
responsibilities, the planning process, resources, timing and legislation, which can be
applied effectively to all watersheds in Ontario. While focused primarily on source
protection planning, the report also includes some recommendations for future next steps
and SPP implementation.
The report's recommendations have unprecedented implications for Conservation
Authorities that can only be compared to the introduction of the Flood Control legislation
after Hurricane Hazel. The recommendations, if accepted by the Province, will give
Authorities greater responsibility and control over watershed management activities.
Specific recommendations include:
That CA's co-ordinate the development of watershed-based SPP including
maintenance and up-keep of the plans, This means broadening the mandat€ for
CA's into the area of public health, which brings with it a significant increase in
accountability, This also presents an opportunity to continue to strengthen our
municipal and community partnerships in watershed management.
That CA's receive the appropriate funding to ensure that they are properly
resourced to deliver SPP.
That land use planning and other water resource permitting decisions be consistent
with recommendations of the source protection plan. This would mean that the
plans would have legal status and influence over the planning process. The
implication of this recommendation is that the new CA role will greatly support our
efforts for achieving the Authority mission and the LSEMS objective.

_ The report was posted on the Environmental Bin of Rights Registry for a 60 day
public review period and comments were requested from all CAs by May 29, 2003.
- Comments were received from II CAs including Ganaraska Region, Kawartha, Lake
Simcoe, Maitland Vaney, Niagara Peninsula, Nickel District, Otonabee, Saugeen,
South Nation, Toronto and Region, and Upper Thames.
- TRCA's report requested CO to consider a series ofrecommendations concerning the
Advisory Committee report. These recommendations have been incorporatedinto this
. reVIew.
- In addition, the report was discussed at a number of regional GM and Chair forums as
wen as at Policy and Issues Strategic Committee on May 26th. There appears to be
agreement that we should an try to speak with one voice but stil1 provide individual
CA comments to ensure that the EBR posting registers for the Province strong
support. for taking action on source protection planning.
- A draft of this report was circulated to tre CO Source Protection Planning (SPP)
Technical Team including: Anen Bonnis/Paul Sajatovic (Nickel District CA), Bruce
Reid (Rideau Valley), Charley Worte (CVC), Hazel Breton (CVC),Ian Wilcox
(COIWRIP), Jeff Brick (Upper Thames River CA), Lorrie Minshan (GRCA), Mike
Walters (LSRCA), Rick Steele (Maitland Vaney CA), and Sonya Meek (Toronto &
RegiQn CA).
_ This fmal report will be circulated to the team members on June 9th for confinnation
of support by June 13th, One of the chanenges that CO staff faced in preparation of
this report was determination of the appropriate level of detail to provide at this point
in the process given expectations for ongoing consultation.
RECOMMENDED KEY MESSAGES IN EBR RESPONSE:
_ Conservation Ontario supports the overall direction and recommendations of the
Advisory Committee on Watershed-based Source Protection Planning, We encourage
the government to take into consideration comments received and the n move forward
in a timely manner with implementation including legislation, regulations, guidelines,
standards, . etc,
84
. Conservation Ontario requests that the multi-stakeholder technical ',Vorking group, with
broad stakeholder representation (e.g. Conservation Ontario, the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario, etc.), be established for the purposes of developing source
protection planning guidelines and standards. In addition, it seems appropriate that
issue specific technical working groups (rather than one technical group dealing with
a1l issues) should be fOTITIed to address various items. .
. Con.servation Ontario recognizes that the mandate ofthe Advisory Committee was not
intended to articulate the contents of a source protection plan and that this win be
addressed through the next step which is a much more detailed report on
implementation to be developed by the various parties which will actually have to
deliver this program,
. Conservation Ontario supports Recommendation 33 which recommends further
consuJtation on the implementation detans of source protection. Resolving the
implementation process is critical for moving forv/ard on source protection planning,
Implementation details are needed to develop the technical standards, guidelines, and
appropriate implementation tools. Implementation details are also necessary for
developing a long teTITI funding model and for the development of the model Source
protection plan.
. Conservation Ontario supports Recommendations 7-10, which address the Legis!ative
Basis for Source Protection Planning, and recognizes the importance of key
institutional arrangements and legislative requirements, Conservation Ontario
encourages the Province to proceed with the development of source protection
planning legislation, the timely delivery oftedmicaJ guidelines and standards, and
coordination of guidelines such that there is a consistent approach in this and other
legislation as well as related activities.
. Consistent with Recommendation] 9 of the Advisory Committee's report, it is critical
that the Province provides substantial and adequate funding for both the creation of
watershed-based source protection plans and the 10ng-teTITI implementation thereof.
Having said this, we acknowledge that watershed municipalities also have a fbnding
responsibility, However, our member municipalities already contribute significant
funding for existing watershed management programs, many of which already
contribute to source protection planning and implementation, Municipalities cannot
assume the majority of long-teTITI financial responsibility for source area protection,
An equitable funding partnership involving the Province, municipality and private
stakelDlders is critical for the long-teffil. This funding fOTITIula should reflect the
differences in the ability to pay that exist across the Province. Although not
specifica1ly addressed in the report, Conservation Ontario continues to support a move
to user pay with equity and fairness so that everyone contributes to source protection,
. Conservation Ontario recommends building upon the progress made under its
partnership with the province on the Water Resources InfoTITIation Project (WRIP) in
order to support delivery of source protection.

.' There is a perceived gap in stressing the importance of source protection for those
c{)nsumers who rely on existing c{)Inmunal or private wells where source protection is
the only barrier against the contamination of their drinking water.
. \VhiJe Conservation Ontario. offers several comments on the contents of the Advisory
Committee's Report, we provide these comments as minor suggestions for
improvement purposes only,
RECOMMENDED SPECIFIC COMMENTS IN EBR RESPONSE;
. Page vii:
The last sentence of the second paragraph reads: "The SPPC will report to the board of
directors of a conservation authority (or the Ministry of the Environment where there is
no conservation authority), ,,; It is our understanding that this will be 2 or more
conservation authority boards where CAs have joined for the purpose of source
protection planning,
Page 13;
The second last paragraph on this page reads: "Conservation authorities currentlyreceive
provincial funding for flood control, and can collect yohnt::rry levies from municipalities
for doing agreed-upon work," For accuracy, the term "voluntary" should be removed
from this sentence,
Recommendation 10:
Conservation Ontario is of the understanding that source protection planning will be
initiated within 2 years of the passage of source protection legislation and that this
legislation will be accompanied with a schedule for initiating plans,
This recommendation also indicated that first generation source protection plans must be
in place across Ontario within 5 years, A vaiJability of source protection planning
technical guidelines wilJ be necessary to meet these timelines. The ability to meet the 5
year time frame will also be dependent on the availability of funding.
Recommendation 12-14 - New CA Responsibilities:
The report indicates that municipalities and conservation authorities are to be given
additional responsibilities, mandates, and resources to address the issue of source
protection, The nature of these additional responsibilities, mandates, and resources,
however are genera]]y vague and wi]] require more information prior to implementation.
The issue of enforcement will also need to be clarified and more details provided. It is
appreciated that these specific recommendations are premised on significant new sources
of funding for source protection planning,
Recommendation 17 - Interim Risk Management:
This recommendation indicates that the province, municipalities, and conservation
authorities should use their available powers to manage potential threats by '~aking action
3
86
with respect to high-risk activities and land uses"untiJ source protection plans are in
place, There is some concern that this recommendation could create the perception that
existing legislation and powers are adequate to protect water sources. Thus, it is
suggested that the recommendation should be reworded to indicate "... the use of powers
to the extent possible, recognizing the limitations that exist..."
Conservation Ontario requests that the province provide clarification on interim risk
management responsibiJities, as the legislation and guideJines are developed. In addition,
Conservation Ontario encourages the Province to proceed with the development of risk
management standards and guidelines and offer training sessions for practitioners. This
section of the Advisory Committee Report is key to the completion of many other aspects
of source protection planning, including the technical guidelines, scale and scope of
studies, and implications for legislation and standards. As this activity is very new and
very technically oriented, training sessions would be beneficial.
Recommendation 18 - Province/Conservation Ontario create a model source
protection plan:
This recoinmendation provides for a consistent approach in the preparation of source
protection plans, A model source protection plan will need to be prepared as soon as
possible. The development of a model plan and resolution of implementation details
should not be delayed during any pubJic consultations that may be planned for this
Advisory Committee Report and therefore should occur concurrently, Such a model plan
may in fact help address some of the concerns or issues that may be identified by various
interest groups and individuals, It should graphically display what is and is not included
in a source protection plan and what infOImation one needs to develop a proper plan.
Recommendation 21 - Planning Areas:
Conservation Ontario agrees with the planning area concept and understands that the
province cannot flow funding to 36 separate CAs plus other areas in the'province. We
recommend though that the planning process should be guided as much as possible at the
local level within a rramework that is consistent across the province,
Conservation Ontario agrees that 24 planning areas in Ontario appears reasonable;
however, the exact boundaries should be the subject of further deliberations and
negotiations, A number of CAs have already initiated discussions on cooperation based
on the map presented in the Advisory Committee report (e.g, Trent Conservation
Coalition CAs: Ganaraska Region, Lower Trent, Crowe Yalley, Otonabee, and Kawartha;
Lake Simcoe Region and Nottawasaga Yalley, Saugeen and Grey Sauble, etc). As well,
the merits of additional criteria for detennining planning areas are being debated within
Conservation Ontario as the map is further evaluated. It should be noted that
Conservation Ontario does not support splitting any existing conservation authority
jurisdictiorE in the definition of these planning areas.
Recommendation 22 to 26 - Source Protection Planning Committee (SPPC):
Conservation Ontario requests that the province provide flexibility in the SPPC model,
particularly with respect to the maximum number of SPPC members, It should be noted
"G't-~
4
87
.that a number of Conservation Authorities have had successful experiences in worlcing
with groups larger than 18. A limit on numbers may pose difficulties in some
Conservation Authorities where there are numerous stakeholders and both local and
regional municipalities which would have active roles in implementing the SOurce
protection plan recommendations, Assuming that the "minimum IS"model remains, it
would likely result in a "overarching" SPPC consisting of senior representatives, while
functional working groups would exist at a smaller watershed task force level where there
could be more flexibility in the membership. Such working groups would reinforce the
importance of involving the "implementers" of the plan in its development.
Recommendation 31- Key Ingredients List & Need for Cultural Information:
In addition to those "key ingredients" listed in Recommendation 31, Conservation
Ontario recommends inclusion of culturaVsocial infonnation. Most of the attention is
given to water budget and ;yater quality data needs and modeling. While these al'e
obviously necessary, cultur.aVsocial infonnation characterizing the watershed is equally
important with regard to the design of a public consultation process that will be effective
locally. .
The 'key ingredie nts list' must be modified to include cultural/social infonnation
including for example: demographics, identification of cultural communities, community
surveys regarding source protection planning importance and implementation options,
existing water mana gement programs, local institutional arrangements, etc. These should
be included in a revised Recommendation 31 to serve, at the very least, as a place holder
and reminder of the need for culturaVsocial infonnation as the legislation and regulations
are developed. Again, this infonnation advises the design of appropriate public .
consultation process(es) and products,
Recommendation 34 - Public Education:
We agree with this recommendation and suggest that the Province should take the lead in
preparing generic educational materials that can be adapted locally,
Recommendation 37 - Review and Updating of Source Protection Plans:
This recommendation provides a list of the roles and responsibilities in order to keep
plans up to date. While the responsibilities of each agency are clearly listed, there needs
to be overall coordination in keeping a plan up to date and to prevent overlap. For.
example, "issuing implementation status reports" is listed as a responsibility under each
agency, Overall coordination would prevent each agency from preparing its own status
report, Given the recommended responsibilities of the CA's, it would be appropriate that
the CA be identified as the lead agency for issuing the implementation report with the
cooperation of the other parties.
Recommendation 47 & 48 - Additional Standards for Surface Water:
Conservation Ontario supports these recommendations to both prevent misuse of the
Provincial Water Quality Objectives and to provide for a consistent data network across
the province,
~'\-9.
5
88
Recommendation 49 - Monitoring and Information Management: .
Conservation Ontario believes that it is extremely important to ensure current networks
are not duplicated but are instead enhanced (e.g. Provincial Water Quality Monitoring
Network, Provincial Groundwater Monitoring Network).
Recommendation 53 -Data:
The recommendation currently reads: "To the extent possible, data should be
as available to all those involved, including the dissemination of data and
infonnation to the public (e,g" non-proprietary infonnation)," This
recommendation should be edited to read: "To every extent possible, data
ShbUld be made available to all stakeholders, including the dissemination of
data and infonnation to the public (e.g" non-proprietary infonnation)."
Conserva tion Ontario agrees that the Province should be the lead agency in
data management, it is also necessary that the data be easily and readily
available to local agencies, It is critical that Conservation Authorities
continue to be involved in the development and design of datasets and the
establishn1ent of Provincial standards. This is particularly important if the
Conservation Authorities and other local agencies are to use the data for their
source protection initiatives,
Page 47 - Examples of Water Quality and Quantity Indicators:
Conservation Ontario recommends that one criterion for the selection of water quality .
and quantity indicators should be its direct relationship to source protection issues.
Recommendation 54:
The recommendation should read: "The province working" . and local levels, These
indicators should be developed within six months of the.., planning process."
RECOMMENDED FUTURE ACTlONSINEXT STEPS:
(NOTE* not part of Recommended EBR Response)
Funding of Conservation Ontario and CAs in 2003/04:
Conservation Ontario should pursue funding from the Province for Conservation Ontario
and individual Conservation Authorities in 2003 and 2004 to support their efforts in
reviewing the draft legislation and legislative amendments; assisting with the
development of guidelines and standards; for initial preparations to take on this proposed
expanded mandate; and for implementation of interim risk management activities.
Planning Areas:
Conservation Ontario, through the CO SPP Technical Team, should continue to evaluate
the map and examine additional criteria for detern1ining planning areas,
.,~ 'I-ro
6
.89
Legal Counsel:
Conservation Ontario should consider contracting legal counsel to assist in the revi~w of
draft legislation, in terms of specific implications an:lliabilities for Conservation"
Authorities, Based on the recommendations of the Advisory Committee Report, CAs
.would share roies with other agencies and stakeholders in public education and
dissemination of source protection (SP) information; management and coJlection of SP
data; analysis and interpretation of data; and setting management recommendations,
criteria, etc that will impact land use decisions and set the level of protection against
source risks, This will formalize a mandate for CAs as a partj;ipant in the area of public .
health, which brings with it a significant increase in responsibility and accountability.
While we should embrace the opportunities presented by the expanded roles, we should
also be aware of our liabilities and due diligence practices that are implied under the
proposed new legislation,
COICA Source Protection Planning Funding Requirements:
Conservation Ontario should update its province-wide estimates of source protection,
. funding requirements, including provision for legal counsel and expert panel reviews of
each SP.?, Although Conservation Ontario prepared some preliminary budget estimates
of the cost of preparing source protection plans (SPPs) and supporting ongoing program
maintenance, these estimates should be updated as soon as possible in preparation for .
discussions with the province on short and long term funding requirements. There are
updated technical guidelines available to some extent within the Advisory Committee
report and the Conservation Ontario discussion paper that can be used as an interim
guide. Considering the legal status of watershed-based SPPs, as compared to traditional
watershed planning exercises, budget estimates for SPP preparation should include
provision for legal services, enhanced level of stakeholder involvement, and the
additional requirement of an expert panel review. Ongoing source protection
implementation costs should also include provision for legal counsel in the event that
participation is required at appeal hearings.
Review oflnterim Risk Management Opportunities:
Conservation Ontario, together with the province and AMO, should provide an initial
review of interim risk management opportunities, possibly as part of planning
implementation details (see Recommendation 33), that could serve as a basis for the
developIrent of standards and guidelines. While the recommendation for interim- ri.sk
management is very practical and proactive, there needs to be clarification around the
specific responsibilities and definitions of "potential threats" and "high risk activities" to
ensure that CAs can demonstrate due diligence. Application of this approach would also
suggest the need for initial scoping of potential threats and drinking water source
vulnerabilities throughout the source protection planning area, Also a review of the CA's
"available powers" to identify interim risk management opportunities is required. Aspects
of this review should be considered as part of Recommendation 33 that examines "roles
and responsibilities". Funding requirements for this initial scoping and legal review must
also be addressed and should include a stakeholder consultation process,
"Co.'! -" . \ J
7
90
Review and Approval Process (Rec'n 32):
Conservation Ontario should ensure through participation in legislation/regulation
consultations that the Province estabJisres appropriate time lines for its internal review
and approval process of source protection plans so that this component of the process is
not a1Jowed to drag on
RECOMMENDATION:
WHEREAS Conservation Ontario should contihLle to promote the importance of
understanding and planning for drinking water SOllrce protection in the context of
overall watershed management as well as the protection of other interdependent
environmental systems;
THEREFORE BE ITRESQLVED THAT Conservation Ontario supports the report
and recommendations of the mlllti-stakeholder Advisory Committee on a Watershed-
based SOLlr,ce Protection Planning Fram~work;
AND THA T the Province proceed with implementation of the Advisory Committee's
recommendations withollt delay with dlle consideration of the issues and opportunities
identified through the public consllltation process;
AND THAT Conservation Ontario endorse the recommended key messages and
specific comments for the collective response to the Environmental Bill of Rights
posting of the Framework;
AND THAT Conservation Ontario implement the recommendedfulllre actions/next
steps.

Dear Ms. Pennycock:
Re: Attendance at Public Meeting on proposed changes to the Official Plan that will
provide a general update to the Official Plan of the Township.
Further to my presentation to Mayor and Council on June 24, 2003, on behalf of Dr. Tibor
Harmathy, I am writing to seek cJarification of the application of proposed Official Plan policy
changes. My concen) relates to the interpretation of the "updated" policies and the impact on the
future potential for severing one lot rrom Dr. Harmathy's property (approximately 79 acres of
land). Details pertaining to Dr. Hannathy's proposed severance have been provided to you in
previous correspondence and at my presentation to Mayor and Council on June 3, 2003.
At the Public Meeting on June 24,2003, your consulting planner, Mr. Nick McDonald advised
that the proposed policies are indeed less onerous or restrictive than the existing Official Plan
policies as they affect Dr. Hannathy's proposal for one severance. Considering time constraints
and other issues, details were not discussed at the Public Meeting.
While I appreciate the position that individual development applications will not be dealt with
during the overall Official Plan Amendment process, I feel it is reasonable to request an
explanation as to how revised or new policies may be applied and interpreted to specific lands
within the Township. With this in mind, I pose the following questions for your consideration:
Please note that these questions are put forward under the assumption that no change will be
made to the Official Plan Amendment (Oro-Moraine and Aggregate Resource Policies) presented
at a Public Meeting on June 3, 2003. Therefore, Dr. Harmathy's lands would fall within the Oro
Moraine Planning Area, but not within the Oro-Moraine. The parcel oftand proposed to be
severed would be designated "Oro-Moraine Enhancement Area" and the lot (total land holdings)
rrom which the parcel is proposed to be severed would be designated Oro Moraine Core/Corridor
Area, Oro Moraine Enhancement Area and Agricultural Area.
Question # 1. - Section B I. 10.2.4. Development Policies of the Oro-Moraine-Enhancement
Area provides for the creation of new lots for residential purposes in accordance with the policies
of the Rural designation. Section D3.3.1 , "The creation of new lots for residential purposes"in
the Official Plan states that "only one new lot can be severed rrom a lot in the "Rural"
designation.... "

Does this mean that the lot (total land holdings) must be designated "Oro Moraine-Enhancement
Area" for the "Rural" development policies to apply? If this is the case, Dr. Hannathy would be
precluded ITom obtaining approval of a severance application.
Under the Official Plan policies (in place today), only a minor site specific Official Plan
Amendment to existing policies would be required in order to pennit consideration of a consent
application by Dr. Hannathy.
Question # 2 - Section B 1.7 Environmental Impact Studies requires the completion of an E.I.S.
and approval by Council. However, the need for such a study may be waived or scoped by
Council if the proposed development is minor in nature, i.e., 1 assume, a severance of one lot.
As raised in my presentation on June 24, 2003, I would appreciate knowing how this E.I.S.
requirement would apply to Dr. Hannathy's proposed severance. In any event, clarification of
the planning process of detennining whether or not an E.I.S. would be required would be helpful.
When should the request of for a waiver of the EJ.S. requirement be made and what infonnation
is needed to substantiate this request and/or what criteria would be used to evaluate the need for
an E.I.S. study?
In summary, I would appreciate receiving a written response as to how the proposed policy
changes are less onerous vis a vis Dr. Hannathy'sproposal and I also request a response to the
two specific questions noted above.
I thank you in advance for your communication and cooperation.
Yours truly,

Since the proposed Official Plan Amendment has not been adopted, please accept this as a written submission objecting to same,
The Notice or Public Meeting regarding the June 24,2003 indicatcs;
"the intent of meeting is to obtain input on a number of proposed general potiC)' changes dealing \\;th the following major issues:
- Permissions for home industries;
- Pcnl1issions for industrial uses in the Rural designation;
- Permissions to allow for retirement lots for bona-fide funners;
- Water-taking as a Jand use;
- Adu]t lifcstyle communities;
- Improved environmental and groundVl.'ate-T IX>Jicies;
- Gronp homes;
- General severance policies;
- The Edgat Special Policy Axea: and,
- Shoreline development
A number of other minor housekeeping changes to the policies and mappi11g are also proposed."
The section 3.16 MAPPING (lTEM #35 AND 36) reads as follows:
"Both Schedules A and B are replaced by new schedules which correctly identify the location of all wetlands in th!: Township. Schedule
1\ also replaces Schedules Al to A24, so that all information js now on one map."'
Since none of the above appears to affect my property, r did not attend the Public Meeting.
Only today, by coincidence, did I notice a change in my Designated Lmd Use.
The above Notice of Meeting does not mention any such changes in Land Uses.

Dear Mayors:
RE: Ontario Mayors for Automotive Investment
On behalf of the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Commission, I would like to thank the leaders of our
three partnering municipalities for their continuing support and initiatives to maintain and improve the
Lake Simcoe Regional Airport.
The airport Commission was pleased to learn of your conversations with the Honourable Allan Rock
at the March 6, 2003 meeting of Ontario Mayors for Automotive Investment. As evidenced by the
airport's recent and co-operative approach for Capital assistance from the senior levels of government,
more specifically the Minister of Transport, the Commission concurs that a consistent and united
effort will continue to enhance the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport.
It was further refreshing to note that the municipalities recognize the importance of a transportation
infrastructure such as an airport and that the "Lake Simcoe Regional Airport is 0 major contributor to
the economic engines that drive our respective communities." The Mayor's request for capital
assistance from the Federal government in correspondence dated May 29, 2003, eloquently stated the
municipalities continuing support for their airport.

~~ - ').
In the Commission's efforts to maintain a united approach to the betterment of the Lake Simcoe
Regional Airport, should the opportunity arise for any future meetings or discussions, the airport
Commission as a group or designated individuals would be more than pleased to participate.
Once again, thank you for your efforts and we look forward to contributing in future capital
infrastructure funding discussions,
Sincerely,
Lake . coe Regional Airport

Members of Council, City Administrators and Treasurers:
RE: Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Semi-Annual Report
Further to the Public Accountability Act, (Bill 46), the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport has prepared a
semi-annual report for your perusal.
The following notes relate to the report.
a) The Airport Commission, June 30, 2003 Financial Statements depict that the airport is
operating at approximately 22% ahead of its overall planned year-to-date, as evidenced by the
attached report.
b) The Lake Simcoe Regional Airport maintains its position as being the only airport located in
this region to maintain full on-site Canada Customs and Immigration Services for both
passengers and goods. This benefit has provided the municipalities with the opportunity to
maintain international business relations and links, even throughout these difficult times.
c) During the past two years, the global economy has experienced numerous and unprecedented
changes. The travel and tourism sector has been, undisputedly, the most adversely effected by
these challenges, While the Canadian Dollar maintains its highest value trend in over a decade
a weaker American Dollar is having an impact on our southern neighbour's purchasing power.
1
~V\-'d
Further, irrational and volatile insurance rates and fuel costs stemming from the initial impacts
of 9/11 and more recently the Iraq conflict are continuing to impede the recovery of the present
travel industry downturn. The most recent and perhaps most severe impact on the entire travel
and tourism industry is the unexpected arrival of SARs. Like numerous transportation and
tourism-related industries, airports are not immune to the devastating effects of this disease.
The World Health Organization has regularly named Toronto as an 'infected' area over the past
four months, The general perception and close relation of this region to Toronto has certainly,
warranted or otherwise, had adverse effects. However, as a salute to the courageous health care
workers, it appears to date that SARs is indeed under control.
d) While the last two years have inarguably been challenging for the aviation industry, the Lake
Simcoe Regional Airport Commercial Development Initiatives have exceeded forecasted
expectations. From the infancy of the airport's Land Sale Policy, which was finalized in
August 2002, the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Commission has successfully completed the
sale of four commercial development lots. While initial construction timelines as well as
facility sizes have been modified, the overall development prospectus remains encouraging, In
addition to the forecasted operating revenues generated by the hangars, the airport will, pending
substantial completion of facilities on all of the lots, have allocated additional revenue of
$260,000.00 towards airport Capital projects, While this revenue source will indeed contribute
to the expansion of the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport, the Commission is in the process of
preparing to expand various airport capital infrastructure requirements, which exceeds this
recently developed revenue source. Addressing the capital requirements of the airport, given
the anticipated growth, will be a challenge and the Commission looks forward to working with
the member municipalities in addressing these needs. Additionally, given the initial success of
the airport land sales, the Commission will also be examining the costs associated with
servicing additional lands for future development.
e) Subsequent to recent approval granted by the Township of Oro-Medonte Committee of
Adjustments to merge two development lots, revised construction plans call for the construction
commencement of the first 33,000 square foot multi-hangar facility by the end of fiscal 2003.
f) While the airport Commission continues to be proactive in developing new and innovative
revenue generating sources for both operating and capital items, negotiations for capital funding
continue, The Lake Simcoe Regional Airport and our partnering municipalities developed this
facility under the auspicious of continuing financial support from the senior levels of
government. As such, the Commission feels justified in its continued request for capital
assistance.
The attached infonnation is for your perusal. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact the undersigned at (705) 487-0999.
Sincerely,
Lake Simcoe Regional Airport

Dear Ms Pennycook:
Re: Thatcher Rezoning Application
On July 15, 2003, the Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) met to discuss and receive
the staff report regarding the re-zoning of lands owned by Ms Thatcher to permit the
development of nine residential lots and to recommend to Council that a By-law
implementing provisional consent be adopted, This recommendation will be presented to
Council on July 31, 2003.
In the draft By-law, there were four conditions applying to the agreement which the
applicant had agreed to. At the PAC meeting, it was decided to add a fifth - that because
the proposed development would use 3 cubic meters over the capacity of the water
storage system - the applicant would need to pay the Township to provide additional
storage in the Moonstone water system,
In the revised By-law going before Council for approval on July 31, it states that, in
addition to the other conditions, the Holding provision would not be lifted until Council is
satisfied that agreement between the Owner and the Township is reached regarding "the
payment of money to the Township that represents the owner's fair share of the cost of
providing additional storage in the municipal water supply system".
In recent telephone conversations with the planner, Nick McDonald and with engineer,
Keith Mathieson, we have been assured that this cost would be "fair share on a pro-rated
lot basis". We expect to be able to set up a meeting as soon as this By-law Is passed to
negotiate what their expectations are regarding the cost estimates of what the applicant
will be expected to pay lor this and the other conditions of the Holding provisions.

Dear Counciltor Marshatl:
Re: Wash-out of O'Brien Street
We contacted the roads department approximately one month ago about the on-going
problem we have after every rainfall. We are contacting you, as advised., by the Roads
Department for the Township of Oro-Medonte. The road is constantly washing away and
ends up in our driveway. This occurs after every rainfall, the deposits of sand and gravel
vary depending on the quantity of rainfall. Please see attached photographs.
Apart rrom the additional work to clear up the mess this build up deposits in our
driveway, it also makes it look very unkempt.
The roads department viewed the build-up of gravel and sand and suggested that the road
requires ditches and culverts.
Could you please assist us in solving this problem. Is there an easier solution than
suggested by the roads department? We have considered removing approximately one
foot of the interlocking driveway to allow the rain to flow down the road. However, my
neighbour to the north of us has deep gullies where the road has washed the gravel
driveway out. We do not want to damage our cars by driving into a gully that would be
created if we removed our interlocking driveway.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at 105-133-0114.
Sincerely
Jacqueline and RalfWinter

Re: Letter of August 5, 2003
From:

I received a letter from Ms Jennifer Zieleniewski. My comments are as follows:
Paragraphs 4 & 5: I appreciate being placed on a mailing list to be informed of meeting dates, I think it odd that
the names of the Steering Committee Members will somehow be 'revealed' at the first meeting. However, the
point of my enquiry was really with regards to the opacity of the process, In keeping with current public process
practices there should be regular public meetings scheduled with the residents throughout the entire duration of
any decision making process that involves capital and on-going allocations of taxpayer dollars,
Paragraph 6: The residents of Hawkestone trying to find dollars for very badly needed community open space
strongly disagree with this position, To this end, I think a survey of the larger area of the community's priorities for
the expenditure of limited public open space dollars would be in order.
Paragraph 7: The level of maintenance the Township will provide needs to be clearly described and an agreement
entered into with adjacent landowners, The existing public open space along the creek (Simcoeside Park) is a
disgrace. Before we built on our lot, it was abandoned and the Promenade overgrown with weeds. No
maintenance was ever attempted by the Township. The Promenade is presently well tended by the residents on
at least a weekly basis,
Is it a priority of the larger community for tax dollars to maintain the Promenade when the Township clearly cannot
maintain the public open space it presently controls?
How will liability work with regards to the Promenade?
Paragraph 8: In addition to aesthetics and drainage, a qualified Coastal Engineering firm should be retained to
study erosion, ice and water levels, The path needs to be engineered to withstand a major event if it is not to be a
compete waste of money,
A topographical survey and a meets and bounds survey should be undertaken by a qualified Ontario Land
Surveyor and then a qualified Site Servicing Engineer should be retained to ensure proper drainage and to ensure
that the bounds of the Promenade are in keeping with the original Plan of Subdivision, The property owners on
Stanley Avenue all own dimensioned lots beginning at the edge of the road allowance.
In addition, it would be recommended that the Township seek the opinions, advice and approvals of other
jurisdictional government agencies,
Paragraph 9: I have never seen any member of the public, and there are quite few, seeming lost or 'undirected' on
the Promenade. The Promenade, from my experience, is a unique, friendly and park-like setting, Every day
people walk, bike and take baby carriages along the Promenade. Everyone says hello.
The Promenade can be branded as 'public' and way1inding can be achieved through all kinds of means: benches,
signage, plantings, garbage cans, etc, None of these would have the significant and inherent technical
problems of building a permanent pathway on the shores of a large lake, Neither would they destroy the unique
aesthetic of the Promenade nor interfere with the present maintenance of the Promenade.
Paragraph 10: I would like to see a list of and minutes from the public meetings, as well as the Report to Council.

Hi,
I wrote you another e-mail last week with several questions about the proposed Promenade near Line 10, I have
not as of yet received a reply to this latest e-mail, but it has come to my attention that I have been placed on a
Council Agenda for July 16. I am not sure in what capacity I am on the Agenda, No one has spoken with me nor
informed me directly of this, Please clarify,
Also, at the same time I have some additional questions and comments about the proposed,Promenade
development:
1. Last winter ice damage was done topattems been studied to determine the correct location for any walkway?
3, Will seeking approval for new development along the Promenade raise issues about improvement of the
shoreline with the Province, I would guess that it might and it would be a huge undertaking to bring the existing
shoreline into line with-current Provincial quidelines for shoreline retention and fish habitat.
4. With your present rules and regulations about septic bed and water well locations along the waterfront,
property in these locations CANNOT be buill on without accessing them from the right-of-way at some point. (In
fact, the right-of-way is the only access for the southern-most lots in the plan of subdivision,) Would a combination
of your own regulations and development of the Promenade make future improvements to lots on the waterfront
impossible? .This would be very unfortunate as many of the remaining original cottages are in extremely
questionable condition!),
Conclusion:
Again, I believe that the introduction of a limestone screening path in this area is an aesthtic, environmental,
practical and political mistake, Indeed, it may be a mistake to introduce any path in the area, Presently it is a
unique and wonderful condition. It is well used by walkers, joggers, bicycles, tricycles and mothers with carraiges.
If the desire is to imprint the Promenade as public, why not concentrate on using objects which are clearly public,
but which do not impact the aesthetics of the Promenade or raise issues about maintenance, environmental
impact, etc. such as benches, plantings, lighting, garbage receptacles, signage, etc,
Please get back to me with answers to my questions as soon as you can, Thank you, I will also continue to try
and find some answers on my own through my own professional contacts, And, I would really like to understand
about this July 16th meetingl

Promenade
I just received a call from my children at home saying their is a copy of an Agenda for tomorrow's Council Meeting
in our mailbox, I am not sure if this is because you wish me to speak to the correspondence I have sent you, or
whether in fact it was even sent by you, (In particular because I have not sent my address to you.)
Unfortunately I am not at home, but rather in meetings all day so I have no way of knowing exactly what is on the
Agenda nor why exactly it was sent to me,
However, I would appreciate the opportunity to be present and to speak if my name and correspondence is to be
addressed. I cannot be present tomorrow though as I am in Ottawa.
Please inform me of when the issues I have raised about the Promenade will be discussed and I will be more than
pleased to attend, I would, however, appreciate at least 1 weeks notice. Usually with a week's notice I can be
available,
Thank you and I trust I will be kept aware,
Diana

VVhile appreciate ~our e-rr:ail,.1 belie~e the actual process needs to be more transparent. The community should
have the opportunity to raise Issues In Public Meetings, with municipal, provincial and Steering Committee
representatives present, prior to reccommendations from the Steering Committee,
I have consulted with Baird Associates, coastal Engineers, who have worked extensively in this area, It is their
opinion, after studying air photos, etc that any path in the ROW would be washed away in a major event unless It
is engineered, permanent and on foundations, As well, any path wiU ceuse serious damning problems.
I feel very strongly about this. As a ratepayer, I do not want to see money wasted when there are very real
recreational needs in the erea. Also, there are issues of maintenance and liability,
I will continue to persue this and hope that the Township will decide to be more forthcoming and transparent
with your public consultation process.
I still wait for the answers to my questions. The Steering Committee certainly does not have the expertise to
answer them, so it falls to you.

Re: Open Space in Ward 5/Public Promenade
Your E-mail dated July 7, 2003
Dear Ms. Gerrard;
Your e-mail of July 7, 2003, addressed to Councillor Fountain was received at the Committee of the
Whole meeting on July 16, 2003.
The following information addresses your questions/comments stated in the e-mail.
In your e-mail, you questioned how to be informed of the dates of the steering group meetings. We
have taken your e-mail as your request and you will be advised as meetings are scheduled.
The steering group was established with individuals who own property in the development and came
forward.
The individuals in the steering group will be introduced at the first meeting, At that time, you will be
able to obtain their names and may choose to contact them,
During the 2003 budget discussions, staff recommended an allocation of $50,000.00 be considered,
by Council, for the design and construction of a walking path within respect to the property known as
the Promenade. These funds do not impact on other public recreation needs as the recommended
allocation was a separate issue, .
The Township will be maintaining the pathway and the funding will be through taxation. Residents will
be encouraged to continuing maintaining the Promenade to the walkway,
At this point in time, no decisions have been made with respect to the composition of the walkway.
The walkway will be designed to be unobtrusive and will take into account drainage considerations.
The Promenade is an existing public open space. The pathway will delineate and assist in directing
participants who choose to enjoy the space.

Re: Proposed Amendment to the Official Plan for the County of Simcoe
Part of Lots 26 to 28, Concession 5, Township of Oro (now Oro-Medonte)
Ucci Consolidated Companies Inc. proposed adult lifestyle community
Dear Members of County Council:
This letter summarizes our verbal submission on behalf of the Big Bay Point District
Association Inc., as presented at the Wednesday, April 9, 2003 public meeting held at the
County Council chambers, about the above application.
The proposed amendment would open up the "Rural and Agricultural" designation in the
County Official Plan to allow 'Adult Lifestyle Communities' all over the County, rather
than directing new development to designated settlement areas.
The County should consider that residents of any age group could occupy any such
dwelling over time, not just a particular market segment that the developer is intending to
target. School age children will reside in these developments over time, necessitating
school and recreational services as would be provided in any settlement area. The guiding
principal should be "A house is a house is a house, wherever located and whatever it is
called".
The County should focus on the broad implications of large development proposals outside
of designated settlement areas, whether they are proposed as 'Adult Lifestyle
Communities', 'Resort Communities', 'Retirement Communities', etc. Such projects can
have severe implications for the preservation ofthe County Greenlands system, can affect
the long-term viability of agricultural operations and can have major impacts on traffic
patterns on County and local road systems. Provision of solid waste management services,
hospital facilities, medical and ambulance services, and other social services will be
seriously impacted by unanticipated growth in locations not intended by the County
Official Plan.
If changes to the County Official Plan are to be considered, they should only take place as
the result of a thorough Growth Management Review as proposed by Hemson Consulting
I
lay - ~
in their July 7,2003 presentation to the County Corporate Services Committee. This
process should include full and informed public discussion and debate about how much,
what kind and where additional growth should be permitted and how it can be provided
with the necessary services and amenities. Preservation and protection of County
Greenlands and prime agricultural lands are an essential part of this growth management
process.
We respectfully request that the proposed amendments to the Official Plans of the
Township of Oro-Medonte and the County of Simcoe for the Ucci Adult Lifestyle
Community be rejected by your Council for the following reasons:
1. The County Official Plan policies do not presently permit such larger-scale
residential development outside of designated settlement areas.
2. Growth Management studies and policies need to be developed to determine
whether major residential development outside of designated settlement areas is
desirable, how much should be allowed and where it should be located. The details
of any individual proposal should only be considered after County Council has
made these broad policy decisions.
3. It is PREMATURE at this time to consider the details of this application, which will be
only one of many such proposals to serve the projected adult lifestyle home market
from the GTA, without first completing the appropriate planning studies and
developing a comprehensive policy framework in the County Official Plan. It is
likewise PREMATURE to consider such a general policy amendment which would
open up the Rural and Agricultural designation throughout the County to
substantial residential development, outside of settlement areas, based on the
details of an individual application in a single municipality.
We appreciate your careful consideration ofthis submission on behalf of the Big Bay Point
District Association Inc.

Dear Mayor Ian Beard:
I am pleased to invite your council to participate in the Ontario Heritage Foundation's
Heritage Community Recognition Program 2003.
Now in its eighth yeat, this program provides communities the opportunity to recognize

ACTING SECRETARY
Ontarjo Munjcipal Board Rules on ADJOURNMENTS
~'f- - j
Comments on Adjournment of Proceedings (Board Rules 61 to 65 below):
The Board will not often grant adjournments (later dates) for hearings or other proceedings.
Parties and the Board spend time and money in giving notice, preparing and travelling for
hearing events, and this is wasted if they are cancelled at the last minute. If the request is
presented at the last moment, the Board may refuse the adjournment and proceed with the
hearing. If, on the other hand, settlement discussions are reasonably nearing completion, the
Board may agree to a delay. The main consideration is whether an adjournment is necessary to
permit a fair hearing, versus the cost of any delay for all parties. Hiring a lawyer or planner
shortly before a hearing, for example, is not a reason for an adjournment.
Parties should prepare for a hearing shortly after the appeal is submitted. They should
not wait until notice of hearing is sent. Performance standards required for tribunals mean
that the Board is setting hearing dates earlier than in the past.
If a matter is adjourned, the Board will pick a new date for it to proceed unless there is a good
reason to leave it undecided (e.g. it is dependent upon a decision of a court).
61. HearinQ Dates Fixed Hearing events will take place on the date set unless the Board
agrees to an adjournment (later date).
62. Requests for Adjournment if All Parties Consent If all of the parties agree, they may
make a written request to postpone a hearing event. The request must include the reasons, a
suggested new date and the signed consents of all parties. However, the Board may require
that the parties attend in person to argue for an adjournment, even if all of the parties consent.
63. Requests for Adjournment Without Consent If a party consulted objects to an
adjournment request, the party requesting the adjournment must bring a motion under Rule 34
at least 10 days before the date set for the hearing event. If the reason for an adjoumment
arises less than 10 days before (see Rule 64), the party must give notice of the request to the
Board and to the other parties, and serve their motion materials as soon as possible. If the
Board refuses to consider a request made late, any motion for adjournment must be made in
person at the beginning of the hearing event. '
64. EmerQencies Onlv The Board will grant last minute adjournments only for unavoidable
emergencies, such as illnesses so close to the hearing date that another representative or
witnesses cannot be obtained. The Board must be informed of these emergencies as soon as
possible.
65.
a)
b)
Powers of the Board upon Adjournment Request The Board may,
grant the request;
grant the request and fix a new date; or where appropriate, the Board will schedule a
pre-hearing conference about the status of the matter;
c) grant a shorter adjournment than requested;
d) deny the request, even if all parties have consented;
e) direct that the hearing proceed as scheduled but with a different witness, or evidence on
another issue;
f) grant an indefinite adjoumment, if the request is made by the applicant or proponent and
is accepted by the Board as reasonable, and the Board finds no substantial prejudice to
the other parties or to the Board's schedule. In this case the applicant or proponent
must make a request that the hearing be rescheduled;
g) convert the scheduled date to a mediation or pre-hearing conference; or
h) make any other appropriate order.

EXPLANA TORY NOTE

Lot 154, Plan 51M-689,
City of Barrie, County of Simcoe
(municipally known as 30 Hewitt Place)
Lot 154 is a single family dwelling lot which fronts on Hewitt Place with its side-yard
along Penetanguishene Road. The lot is currently vacant and has a frontage of 14.34
metres. Simcoe County By-law 2840 requires the buildings be 10.7 metres from the
nearest limit of Penetanguishene Road, and this renders the lot unbuildable. Crisdawn
Construction Inc, is seeking an amendment to Simcoe County By-law 2840 granting a
specific exemption for Lot 154 permitting a 3 metre side-yard setback.
Crisdawn Construction Inc. had received a minor variance from the Committee of
Adjustment of the City of Barrie permitting a variance reducing the required side-yard
from 7.5 metres to 3 metres. This minor variance has now been appealed to the Ontario
Municipal Board,

Re: Official Plan Amendment, General Update to Official Plan - June 6,2003; Item 3.12
Shoreline Development (Item #19 ofOPA)
Dear Mayor Craig and Members of Council,
We object to the removal of the shoreline development policy (item 3.12) from the
Official Plan Amendment document of June 6, 2003, Policy says that development
should be encouraged in settlement areas. The shoreline area is the largest settlement area
in the township. In our opinion, the Planning Advisory Committee is remiss in removing
this item (3,12) from the Official Plan Amendment.
Development in the shoreline areas has been completely ignored in the discussions thus
far. The June 6, 2003 document says that "some limited large lot development could
occur on existing public roads across from existing shoreline development under certain
and very strict conditions and subject to the approval of a site-specific OP A." Removal of
this item from the Official Plan Amendment has taken place without discussion and many
residents are unaware of this change. We would like this matter to be taken to the OMB
and we would like to come before the Planning Advisory Committee to discuss it.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Respectfully,

Will create plan to
allow more to tap into
high-speed Internet
By Colin McKim
The P:,cket & Time~
Just because you live on a
gravel concession road
doesn't mean you can't travel
at top speed on the informa-
tion highway.
On Friday, Simcoe North
MP Paul DeVillers an-
nounced a $30,000 allocation
to help Ramara, Severn and
Oro-Medonte townships de-
velop a business plan to ex-
tend high-speed' Internet ac-
cess to residents of rural
properties and small commu-
nities.
"This is the 21st century,"
said Ramara Mayor Tom Gar-
ry; "Everybody is getting in.
volved with high-speed com-
munications. "
The federal 'government
has earmarked $105 million
for the Broadband for Rural
and Northern Development
pilot program.
The $30,000 awarded Fri-
day will help the three town-
ships surrmrnding Orillia de-
velop a joint. business plan
and apply for funding to ex-
tend broadband (high-speed)
Internet coverage, using a
combination of fibre-optic ca-
bles and wireless technology.
Municipal offices are al'
ready connected to the broad-
band fibre-optic network. But
extending cables from that
mainline into sparsely popu-
lated areas is cost-prohibitive.
Through the federally-
funded broadband program,
transmitters can be installed
on elevated perches such as
the Brechin water tower,. al-
lowing people with receivers
to make wireless connections
to the Internet.
This will help people oper-
ate businesses in more re-
mote areas, said De Villers.
"I've heard of case after
case where businesses have
had to relocate because they
didn't have broadband ser"
vice," he said.
The township's joint appli-
cation will go to the federal
government in November:

Brechin, August 8, 2003 ~ On behalf of Allan Rock, Minister of Industry, and Andy fvlltchell, Secretary
of State (Rural Deveiopment) (Federai Economic Development initiative for t~orthern Ontario) Paui
DeViliers, MP, Simooe North, today announoed funding to develop a business plan to deploy high-
capacity, or broadband, internet service, in rurai areas of the Townships of Ramara, Orc-Medonta and
Severn,
Contributions of up to $30000 will be aliocated to develop the business plan,
"Broadband can stimulate innovation and improve the quality of life for ali Canadians, especialiy those in
First Nations, northern, rural and remote communities," said Minister Rock, "It is appiications in areas like
dislance education, telemedicine and e-business that will touch the everyday lives of communities and
advance economic development. Today, we are one step closer to our goal of making high-capacity internet
access available 10 communities across Canada by 2005."
'The Government of Canada is commilted to building sustainable communities, which, in iurn, comribute
significanliy to Canada's growth and suocess," said Secretary of State MilchelL "We must continue to work
together to ensure that both rural and urban Canadians have access to innovative tools for social, cultural
and economic development."
"Cutting.edge communications infrastructure and the value of universatity are synonymous wilh Canada,"
said Paul DeViliers, "This government's drive to bring broadband to all Canadian communities by 2005, in
partnership with local communities, the provinces, territories and the private sector, will ensure our country
maintains this distinctive reputation in the 21" century,"
Broadband is defined as a high-capacity Internet connection, capabie of supporting full-motion, real-time
audio and video applicalions, It is a pipeline for delivering innovative applications, putting more people like
medical specialists, post-secondary educators and business contacts within easy reach of all Canadians
"Broadband is providing rural, northern and First Nations communities across Canada with access to more
of the services and information available to those living in large urban centres," said David Johnston,
President of the University of Waterloo,
Proposals selected for business plan development funding were chosen from 91 submissions from across
Canada, based on recommendations by an arm's-iength National Selection Committee,
The funds were allocated as part of the $105-million Broadband for Rural and Northern Development Pllol
Program, announced by Minister Rock and Secrelary of State Mitchell on September 5, 2002,

Council, along with local residents throughout the municipality, has requested that Hamlets not
officially recognized in the Official Plan as settlement areas, be identified with Community
Identification Signage. To determine a cost for this project, a list of these areas was compiled, along
with the required number of signs for each location:
Crei hton
Carle
Foxmead
Ead
Medonte Station
Intersection of Line 10 and Warrninster Side road
Warminster Sideroad at C.P.A. Crossin
Foxmead Sideroad and Townline
Ead Side road and Line 10
Anderson Line and Southorn Rd.

All of these Hamlets are located in the north end, or the Medonte end, of the municipality, with the
exception of Medonte Station and Foxmead Hamlets, which are located in or on the boundary of
Severn Township. Permission would need to be granted by Severn Township to erect the signage.
In the south end, or Oro end, of the municipality, all of the Hamlets have been signed, except the
Hamlet of East Oro located at the intersection of Line 11 and 15/16 Sideroad. This area would
require four (4) signs.
r--; j\
uP~n reviewing the municipal mapping and considering the above-noted areas, this would now 1,0\-d--..
complete the sign age of all the Hamlets within Oro-Medonte.
Therefore, a total number of twenty (20) signs are required for this project, with a cost breakdown as
follows:
Si n Boards

Taking into consideration the requests by Council and local residents and the number of unsigned
Hamlets, along with the estimated cost for these Community Identification Signs, it is recommended
that this project be considered during the 2004 Budget deliberations, for completion of the field work
being the Spring of 2004.

I RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. THAT this report be received and adopted.
2. THAT the Community Identification Signage Project be considered in the 2004 Budget

I BACKGROUND:
Hydro One Networks Inc. is requesting the Township to enter into an agreement to allow existing
streetlights or new streetlights to be affixed to their poles
~ANALYSIS: ..
-
In April 2003, the Township received correspondence from Hydro One Networks Inc. indicating that
the present Joint Use Agreement with respect to placement of streetlights or other equipment on
Hydro One Networks' utility poles would be terminating August 1, 2003, Mr. Vance of Hydro One
Networks Inc. was contacted and confirmed that the Township of Oro-Medonte doesn't' have an
existing agreement, much like many other Municipalities within the Province, and all Municipalities
within the Province will be asked to enter into a new agreement.
This agreement contains sections relating to Safety, Rights and Liability which is standard procedure
now practiced by the Township and our contractor.
Section 10.0 - Pole Rental Rates, identifies a Pole Rental Rate of $2.04 per attachment per year.

12.1 If at any time during the Term of this License an Attachment(s) is attached to the
Joint Use Poles without a Permit(s) being approved by or on behalf of HONetworks for
such Attachment(s), the Licensee shall remove the said unauthorized Attachment(s) as
requested by HONetworks. Failing removal of said unauthorized Attachment(s)
HONetworks shall have the right to forthwith remove any and all unauthorized
Attachment(s) placed on the Joint Use Poles and to charge the Licensee for all costs
incurred by HONetworks as a result of the removal of such unauthorized Attachment(s)

Note: HONetworks uses a red belied tag holder for work protection and under no
circumstances shall anyone work above the red band.
5.0 CLEARANCES
5.1 The placement of Attachments shall meet or exceed the requirements as noted in the
CAG.
6.0 SAFE CLIMBING CONDITIONS
6.1 The Licensee shall comply with the following requirements which are concerned
primarily with the provision for safe climbing conditions:
(a) Clearance from Base of Poles
No Licensee pedestal or other above ground fixture shall be installed above grade within
2.5m (8 ft.) of the base of a HONetworks Joint Use Pole. New Joint Use Poles should be
located 3m away from above ground objects such as hydrants or fence posts.
(b) Pole Mounted Attachments on a Pole
The Licensee's Attachments can include the following:
(i) mast arms, luminaries, supply conductors, relays and other equipment required to
operate a street lighting system
(ii) traffic signal, power and control cables, junction and splice boxes and any other
equipment and/or devices nonnalty required for the operation of traffic signals
(iii) service attachments
(iv) decorative lighting
(v) standards (banners down the side of poles)
(vi) seasonal decorations.
For purposes of the Agreement, an Attachment does not include any material, apparatus,
equipment or facility owned by the Licensee for the provision of Telecommunications
Services and all such attachments shall require a separate License.
Metal signs presenting a thin knife-like edge will not be allowed on HONetworks' poles.
These signs represent significant opportunity for injury if not removed when working
aloft and are to be avoided.
The Licensee's Attachments shall be identified on the Application. Location on
frequently climbed poles such as recloser, switch or transfonner poles is to be avoided if
4
possible, although it is recognized that for roadway lighting, installation on these poles
may be required. Subsidiary apparatus poles are the preferred alternatives.
Attachments that do not have access by aerial devices shall not be allowed on poles.
The space in which miscellaneous attachments can be installed is 2.5m (8 ft.) (lowest
point of attachment) above grade to 1m (3ft.) feet below the telecommunication section
on the pole. Attachments are limited to two per pole and may be permitted only if all
safety and climbing conditions are met.
Banners and strings of lights extending from one pole to another, typically across the
road allowance will not be allowed. These installations can be accommodated by the
municipality installing separate poles with the proper back-guying to accommodate the
banner and strings of lights.
(c) Size & weight of Attachments
The maximum size of any Attachment in or below communication space shall be 1m (3
ft) high by a.3m (1 ft.) wide and a depth of a.3m (1 ft.) for equipment not including
standoff brackets that allow a minimum of 80mm (3 in.) space between the Joint Use
Pole and the Attachment. The maximum size for a bracket mounted Attachment shall not
exceed 2m (6ft) high by 1m (3ft.) wide and a depth of 0.7m (30in.). Attachments cannot
exceed 80 pounds.
r
.....-
13-1
Figure 6.1: Attachments with Stand-off Brackets (where
permissible)
Standards (banners down the side of poles) must be detachable at the bottom to minimize
their impact on climbing the pole and will be required to have a proper mounting bracket
at the top to securely attach to the pole. The mounting bracket should be sufficiently
heavy to support the banner under all weather conditions and wide enough not to present
a knife like edge in case of a falling accident. A rounded bracket is preferred.
(d) Structural /Material Composition
All Attachments shall be constructed and composed of a non flammable material and be
supported by a bracket made of stainless steel, aluminum or aluminum alloy which is
easy to remove from the pole.
5
(e) Methods of attachment to the Pole
Attachments to the Joint Use Poles shall be by means of stainless steel banding tape or
galvanized clamp bands.
(d) Location of Attachments on Pole
Attachments must be mounted on the roadside of the Joint Use Pole to maximize safe
climbing space. Vertical Attachments such as conductors, cables, and conduit shall be
grouped together such that a minimum continuous surface of 60% of the Joint Use Pole
circumference shall remain clear for climbing.
(e) Special Poles
Steel, concrete or wood poles treated with preservatives, which restrict climbing, prohibit
normal construction and operational methods using conventional climbing practices. If
normally accepted climbing practices cannot be employed, then the parties shall agree to
an alternate method required to install and maintain their respective Attachments on the
said poles.
(f) Subsidiary Apparatus Pole
Where required, the Licensee's apparatus pole shall be placed 'in line' and at least 3
meters (10 ft.) from a Joint Use Pole. The top of the apparatus pole should not extend
more than O.3m (1 ft.) above the Licensee's Attachment.
(g) Separation of Aerial and Underground Facilities
Separation of at least one meter from below ground facilities shall be maintained between
centerlines of overhead and underground facilities to enable safe operating space for
power augers during the replacement or addition of HONetworks' Joint Use Poles. The
Licensee acknowledges that any encroachments of the one meter separation may cause a
potential risk of future interruptions, cable damage and expense to repair for the
Licensee.
7.0 GUYING AND ANCHORING
7.1 For streetlights and other miscellaneous attachments, additional guys and anchors are
normally not required. If additional anchoring is required due to the Licensee's
Attachments, the anchors and guys shall be installed by the Licensee and at the Licensee's
expense.
7.2 The Licensee's anchors must be placed with a minimum separation of 1.5 m (5ft) from
HONetworks' anchor.
7.3 Where separate anchoring is undesirable, the parties may cooperate to jointly study the
feasibility of and, if agreeable to HONetworks, implement joint anchoring. If
6
r
-\ r _
\~
HONetworks agrees to such joint anchoring, HONetworks will install such joint
anchoring at the Licensee's expense.
7.4 When adding or changing guys and anchors, the installing party shall not affect the
existing tension on the other party's guys or disturb existing anchors.
7.5 Crossing guy wires is undesirable, however, where it is unavoidable, the minimum
clearance between crossing guys (the point at which two guys cross) shall be 80 mm
(3in).
8.0 STRAIN INSULATORS
8.1 Strain insulators of the appropriate mechanical strength and voltage rating shall be
installed on all down guys. Strain insulators on the Licensee's guys must be installed
between 2.7 m to 3.6 m (8 to 12 feet) above ground and shall be installed by the Licensee.
The Licensee's insulators must be maintained by the Licensee in safe working condition
at all times.
9.0 POLE TOP EXTENSIONS
9.1 Description
Pole top extensions are made of solid epoxy resin fiberglass rod and may, at
HONetworks' discretion, be installed by HONetworks at the pole top to raise the primary
conductor in order to obtain the separation required at the higher voltage. An explanation
will be provided in the case of denial.
9.2 Restriction
The pole top extension(s) are to be used only by HONetworks for tangent applications
where a Joint Use Pole replacement would otherwise be necessary (i.e. they cannot be
used on new construction).
10.0 BONDING AND CONECTION
10.1 Bonding of all metal components (streetlight arm and head) with a minimum conductor
size of #4 copper stranded is required and shall be adhered to by the Licensee.
10.2 The Licensee shall request any electrical connection required for new installations by
contacting HONetworks.
10.3 The Licensee may employ a qualified worker or contractor to perfonn work on the
streetlight system. Such workers may disconnect and reconnect any streetlight
component connected from HONetworks' wires for maintenance purposes provided all
rules, standards and Electrical Safety Authority requirements are complied with. Such
qualified worker may also connect the #4 bond wire to the HONetworks electrical
system, that may be absent from older installations.
7
10.4 The Licensee shall make all appropriate applications to the Electrical Safety Authority
and shall provide all of the streetlight information to HONetworks to ensure accurate
information is provided for energy billing and audit purposes.
10.5 The Licensee acknowledges that where the Attachments on Joint Use Poles constitute
streetlights or other plant that consumes energy, the amounts charged for the energy
consumption is usually based on a flat rate and is calculated using the lamp size and
ballast losses.
11.0 ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE AND OPERATION
11.1 If the Licensee's Attachments are causing electrical interference, the Licensee shall take
the appropriate action at its sole expense to rectify the situation. The parties shall
cooperate with each other to facilitate the Licensee's action to resolve such problems.
11.2 The Licensee shall ensure that photo cells properly operate and turn the streetlights off
during daylight hours. The Licensee shall monitor this issue independent of HONetworks
and shall develop a response mechanism that allows the repair of any such light in 5
working days from notice of constant operation.
12.0 JOINT PLANNING
12.1 Subject to clause 12.3 below, regular Joint Use meetings will be held annually to plan for
new construction, re-construction, major changes and Line Clearing programs. Job
progress and any problems that have developed since the previous meeting shall be
discussed. HONetworks will use its best efforts to include all other third party owners of
attachments.
12.2 Subject to clause 12.3 below, HONetworks agrees to provide the Licensee with the right
to reserve extra space for its Attachments on Joint Use Poles during the design phase of
placing, replacing or upgrading Joint Use poles. The Licensee agrees that prior to
commencement of construction, the Licensee will confirm its Agreement to pay
HONetworks the extra costs associated with the said extra space. HONetworks will issue
an invoice for the extra cost and payment is due 60 days from the date the invoice is
issued.
12.3 Both parties understand that due to the changing work environment, clauses 12.1 and
12.2 may not be an achievable goal and therefore do not hold each other liable in the
event that the parties fail to comply with the obligations contained in the said clauses.
13.0 DIVISION OF COSTS (see Table 13)
If Make-ready Work is required, the cost of such work will be paid for as described below.
Should a situation arise that is not adequately described in this section, HONetworks has sole
discretion to determine the amount the Licensee will pay and the Licensee shall pay such amount
when due. All final interpretations of the application of the policy described in this section will
